>> WELCOME.
>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR COUNCIL
AND CITY STAFF.
WITH ALL OF THE TURMOIL GOING ON
AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT ARE
BEING SAID ABOUT A LOT OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT I HAVE DONE A COUPLE
OF RIDE-ALONGS WITH RANCHO PD,
ATTENDED CITIZENS ACADEMY AND
ATTENDED SEVERAL NEIGHBORHOOD
WATCH MEETINGS WITH THE POLICE
OFFICERS AND WHEN I HAVE BEEN
WITH THOSE, EVERY ONE THAT I
HAVE SEEN HAS ACTED VERY
PROFESSIONALLY.
I HAVE SEEN THEM INTERVENE WITH
NEIGHBOR DISPUTES, THEY ACTED IN
A VERY PROFESSIONAL MANNER.
THEY WERE CALM, THEY DIFFUSED
THE SITUATIONS IN A VERY CALM
AND EASY MANNER.
AND I THINK THAT IN MY PERSONAL
OPINION, EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE
SEEN OF THE RANCHO CORDOVA
POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE
SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES IN THIS AREA,
THEY HAVE BEEN EXEMPLARY AND I
THINK THEY DESERVE ALL OF THE
RESPECT WE CAN GIVE THEM.
>> THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THAT
DARYL.
I WOULD COMMENT THAT IN MY OWN
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE DOING
RIDE-ALONGS OVER 20 YEARS NOW I
THINK, I COULD SECOND YOUR
COMMENTS EXACTLY AND COMPLETELY.
>> ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT?
>> NO FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT.
>> THANKS FOR NOTING THOSE THAT
WERE SUBMITTED.
COUNCIL REPORTS.
ITEM 7 ON THE AGENDA
MR. McGARVEY?
>> I HAVE GOT A COUPLE OF
THINGS, THE MOSQUITO CONTROL
BOARD MEETING TOMORROW.
FOUND A DEAD BIRD IN OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD I CALLED AND THEY
CAME AND PICKED OUT P.
FIND OUT TOMORROW IF IT WAS
POSITIVE OR NOT FOR THE WEST
NILE VIRUS.
HERE IS ANOTHER --
I'M WAITING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS
IN THE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
, SCHOOL (INAUDIBLE) WILL BE
THIS COMING YEAR.
ELK GROVE WILL HAVE KIDS IN
SCHOOL FOR TWO DAYS AND HOME FOR
THE OTHER THREE FOR THE WEEK.
I'M WAITING FOR VACCINE, MAYBE
BY THE END OF THE YEAR,
HOPEFULLY.
THAT WOULD BE HERE SOONER RATHER
THAN LATER, BECAUSE IT IS
SOMETHING THAT IF WE CAN GET
THAT MAYBE WE CAN START TO GET
SOME OF THE REGULAR THINGS,
ESPECIALLY FOR KIDS AND I KNOW A
LT OF THEM ARE HAVING A HARD
TIME WITH THEIR EDUCATION.
AND HAVING TO DO IT AT HOME AND
SOMETIMES PARENTS CAN'T BE
THERE.
IT IS HARD, I HAVE RECEIVED OVER
100 eMAILS ABOUT THE OFFICER
WHO DID KNOLL SOME NEGATIVE
THINGS WITH A 14-YEAR-OLD
TEENAGED BOY.
ONE OF THE eMAILS THAT I HAVE
HERE AND READ ONE SENTENCE ON
IT, I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT
IT IS SHAME NATURAL THIS MAN IS
STILL IN THE FORCE OF THIS CITY
AND HE IS NOT.
WE ARE A CONTRACT CITY.
AND WITH OUR CONTRACT, WE CAN
TELL THE SHERIFF IF WE HAVE
SOMEONE WHO IS NOT DOING WHAT
THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO, SOMEONE
WHO IS NOT WORKING FOR US, WE
CAN HAVE THEM REPLACED AND WE
DID HAVE HIM REPLACED.
SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I
THINK THAT PEOPLE DON'T
UNDERSTAND, THERE ARE OVER 120
CONTRACT CITIES IN CALIFORNIA.
THOSE ARE CITIES WHO ARE
INCORPORATED BUT THEY HAVE
CONTRACTS WITH THE COUNTY AND
THEY HAVE IT WITH SOMETIMES
ORGANIZATIONS, I KNOW, IN LA
COUNTY, THERE ARE 14 CONTRACT
CITIES.
SO WHEN YOU HAVE A CONTRACT WITH
THE SHERIFF, LIKE WE DO, THEN IN
THE CONTRACT, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
AND THE (INAUDIBLE) TO SAY --
THIS IS HOW WE WANT IT DONE,
THIS IS HOW MANY OFFICERS WE
NEED AND THIS IS HOW MUCH WE ARE
PAYING FOR AND IF WE HAVE
SOMEONE THAT IS NOT DOING WHAT
THEY SHOULD BE DOING, THEN WE
HAVE THEM REMOVED.
AND HE WAS REMOVED ALMOST
IMMEDIATELY.
SO I THINK THERE ARE SOME WHO
ARE STILL NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW
THINGS MORNING WITH OUR CONTRACT
CITY.
I'M TRYING TO PASS ONTO OUR
CITIZENS THAT THE OFFICER WHO
WAS INVOLVED IN THIS WITH THE
14-YEAR-OLD TEENAGER DOES NOT
WORK FOR THE CITY OF RANCHO
CORDOVA AND HAS NOT BEEN SINCE
THE INCIDENT HAPPENED.
SO, WE CAN WORK ON THAT MORE TO
SEE IF I CAN FIND OTHER WAYS TO
PASS ONTO OUR CITIZENS EXACTLY
HOW THIS IS DONE.
HOW WE ARE A CITY, HOW WE ARE
WORKING ON THESE THINGS, BUT
LIKE I SAID, THIS ONE SENTENCE
IS THAT SHAMEFUL THAT THIS MAN
IS STILL IN THE FORCE OF OUR
CITY.
BUT HE IS NOT.
SO THAT IS WHAT I HAVE.
>> THANK YOU, BOB.
LINDA, ARE YOU WITH US?
>> SHE IS LOGGING IN RIGHT NOW.
>> GO ONTO MR. TERRY.
>> OKAY.
I WILL START WITH KIND OF
ECHOING SOMETHING THAT BOB WAS
TALKING ABOUT.
WE HAVE OUR (INAUDIBLE) OR
SORRY, WE HAVE NOT --
(INAUDIBLE) HE IS RIGHT THE PLAN
FOR ELK GROVE UNIFIED STUDENTS
ON CAMPUS TWO DAY AS WEEK, HALF
OF THEIR STUDENTS FROM A
CLASSROOM ON CAMPUS MONDAY AND
TUESDAY, THE OTHER HALF ON
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
WITH SPECIAL ED AND OTHER
MEETINGS AND THINGS FOR FRIDAY.
NOW, UPDATING OUR (INAUDIBLE)
THAT WE HAD LAST WEEKEND.
>> YES.
>> THEY HAVE NOT RELEASED THEIR
SPECIFIC PLAN OF WHAT THEY ARE
GOING TO DO.
I EXPLAINED TO THEIR
SUPERINTENDENT, ELK GROVE'S
PLAN, THEY MADE IT CLEAR THAT IS
NOT THE APPROACH THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO TAKE, THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO TRY TO HAVE AS MANY
STUDENTS AND STAFF ON CAMPUS,
THAT THEY ARE SHOWING 80% OF
STAFF AND STUDENTS WANT TO BE
OPEN AMPUS AND THEY WILL DO
EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO
ACCOMPLISH THAT.
BUT THEY HAVE NOT RELEASED THE
PLAN YET.
ANYTHING THAT I'M TELLING YOU
HERE --
WE DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING
TO DO THAT YET.
I DON'T THINK THEY FULLY CAME
INTO THE GRASP OF HOW THEY WILL
DO THAT EITHER.
THAT WAS FEEDBACK THAT WE
RECEIVED FROM THEM LAST WEEK.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT BOB ALSO
HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.
I HAVE (INAUDIBLE) WONDERING WHY
THE INDIVIDUAL OFFICER HAD BEEN
TRANSFERRED AND WHAT THAT MEANT
AND HE IS NO LONGER A MEMBER OF
RANCHO CORDOVA PD, BUT, YOU
KNOW, HE IS STILL A DEPUTY
SHERIFF IN A DIFFERENT
DEPARTMENT, WITHIN THE SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT.
LIKE WE HAVE SAID OVER TIME EVEN
THOUGH THIS IS A CONTRACT CITY
IT IS STILL OUR RESPONSIBILITY
AND STILL FALLS ON OUR SHOULDERS
TO, AGAIN, LEARN AND GROW FROM
THIS INCIDENT, ALL OF THESE
THINGS ARE HAPPENING ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY
I'M NOT SURE THAT I NECESSARILY
AGREE WITH SOME OF THE
SUGGESTIONS AND POLICIES THAT
HAVE BEEN FLOATED IN OTHER
CITIES FOR OUR CITY BUT EVERYONE
SHOULD BE HEARD AND ALL IDEAS
SHOULD BE MET WITH, YOU KNOW,
THE SAME SKEPTICISM AND OPTIMISM
AND DUE DILIGENCE THAT THEY
DESERVE.
BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF POLICY
DISCUSSIONS FROM A LOT OF
DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS ACROSS
THIS COUNTRY.
WHAT MAY BE RIGHT FOR ONE CITY
IS NOT RIGHT FOR ANOTHER.
WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT.
AND FINALLY, I FEELS LIKE
FOREVER SINCE WE DID SOME SORT
OF CITY FUNCTION PR, ANYTHING.
SO I THINK I WAS THE FIRST ONE
TODAY TO GO OUT TO GRAB A GOLD
SHOVEL AND DO OUR VIRTUAL GROUND
BREAKING OF THE POOL, THEY HAVE
DUG THE HOLE AND PUTTING REBAR
IN.
THEY ARE A LOT FURTHER DOWN FROM
THE GROUND BREAKING BY NOW.
BUT IT WAS NICE TO GO OUT THERE
AND SEE THE PROGRESS THAT IS
BEING MADE, PUT ON THE HARD HAT.
I HAD TO PUT IT ON FIRST AND
THEN WE HAD TO WIPE IT DOWN WITH
CLOROX.
HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY GOT TO DO
THAT TODAY, GOT OUT INTO THE
NICE FRESH SUN.
THAT'S IT FOR ME.
>> I FOLLOW YOU THERE TODAY
DONALD AND APPARENTLY YOU PUT
THE DIRT IN THE ENTIRELY WRONG
POSITION.
I HAD TO CLEAN IT UP AND
EXCAVATED HALF OF THE POOL SITE
BY MYSELF THERE!
THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
HOPEFULLY GARRETT WAS ABLE TO
FINISH THE WORK I STARTED.
>> I WAS THERE AS WELL.
>> (INAUDIBLE).
>> SO NO WAY TO BLAME ME FOR
THAT WAS.
I WAS (INAUDIBLE).
>> THERE WERE ROCKS IN THAT
SOIL.
>> THE GOLDEN SHOVE SNELL.
>> YES.
>> I WAS THERE WHEN HE WAS
MAKING THE PILE.
THE POOR --
(INAUDIBLE) WENT OUT TO TRY TO
MAKE A PILE.
YOU KNOW, HE WAS SETTING UP
CAMERA AS I WALKED UP!
>> VERY GOOD.
LINDA, DID YOU GOAT THE SHOVEL L
TODAY?
>> YOU ALL MISSED ME WITH THE --
(INAUDIBLE) A PILE OF DIRT, I
HAVE TO TELL YOU, IF YOU WANT
DIRT YOU HAVE TO COME TO SEE MY
YARD.
I HAVE MORE ROCKS, ON THE
(INAUDIBLE) BUT IT IS --
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE ORCHARDS
ALONG THE RIVER AND THAT IS THE
ONLY THING OF CITY BUSINESS THAT
I HAVE DONE ALL WEEK WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF AS DONALD ALLUDED
TO, FIELDING eMAILS, ANSWERING
QUESTIONS, MAKING SURE THAT THE
INFORMATION IS GETTING FROM
WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE TO WHERE IT
NEEDS TO BE.
THAT'S IT FOR ME.
>> VERY GOOD.
VICE-MAYOR GATEWOOD?
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO, I GOT TO FINISH UP THE MESS
YOU GUYS MADE.
I WAS THE LAST ONE.
YOU GUYS DID A TERRIBLE JOB AND
DON'T GIVE UP YOUR DAY JOBS.
IT IS ALL ON ME.
THE HAT NO LONGER FITS MY AFRO.
HAD TO WORK ON THAT.
>> WE WANT TO COMMENT ON THE
FACT YOU WERE LOOKING LIKE A
MOVIE STAR FROM 70s OR 80s
OR SOMETHING OR OTHER.
>> AT THIS POINT I'M DYNAMITE.
I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T CUT IT UNTIL
THE CRAZINESS STOPS.
SO --
(INAUDIBLE).
>> WELL YOU WEAR IT WELL.
>> IT LOOKS GOOD, MAN.
KEEP IT!
>> THE STA, WE WERE ABLE TO COME
IN NUMBER THREE ON GETTING VOTES
FOR MONEY, HOPEFULLY THAT WILL
PUT US IN LINE TO GET 10 TO
15 MILLION FOR WHITE ROCK ROAD
AND SO WE ARE ONE OF THREE --
WE GOT BEAT OUT BY SACRAMENTO BY
ONE VOTE AND IT IS ONLY BECAUSE
THE GUY WE WERE WORKING WITH DID
NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE THING
QUITE ADDED UP.
EVERY TIME THEY CALLED FOR A
VOTE HE KEPT CHANGING HIS
NUMBER.
AT ONE POINT I HAD ONE AND THEN
HE CHANGED NUMBER AGAIN AND I
LOST.
YOU HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN FIVE
PROJECTS AND LIST THEM FIVE,
FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.
HE LISTED SACRAMENTO --
RANCHO AS NUMBER ONE AND LISTED
SACRAMENTO AS NUMBER 5 ON FIRST
VOTE AND THAT HAD A SWING AND
THEN THEY SAID ARE YOU SURE YOU
UNDERSTAND ANDED CHANGED IT TO
NUMBER 4.
I WAS LIKE DANG IT, CAN WE GO
WITH THE FIRST ONE, I WON ON
THAT ONE.
>> KEEP COUNTING UNTIL THEY GET
THE RESULT THEY WANT?
>> PRETTY MUCH.
THAT IS HOW WE WORK IT.
BUT I DID GET IN NUMBER 3, SO
I'M PROUD ABOUT THAT.
AND THEN THEY ARE --
NOW WE ARE IN THE HOT DECISION
WHETHER THE COUNTY SUPERVISORS
WILL PASS MEASURE A WHICH IS AN
(INAUDIBLE) ON EVERYBODY, AND
DOING A BUNCH OF POLLS AND WHAT
NOT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS
GOING ON THERE.
THE OTHER THING, I WAS VERY
CURIOUS, WHICH IS PROBABLY GOOD
THING, I WENT TO --
AND SO DID DAVID, WENT TO THE
PROTEST FOR RANCHO CORDOVA TO
SEE HOW IT WAS AND WE HAD, I
DON'T KNOW 60 OR 75 PEOPLE OUT
IN FRONT OF THE CITY HALL, DOING
A VERY, VERY GOOD PROTEST WITH
JUST, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION AND
SO I DID SEE ALL OF THE KIDS,
THEY HAPPENED TO BE KIDS FROM
NEIGHBORHOOD AND BROUGHT THEM IN
FOR SNACKS IT WAS HOT AND SO
(INAUDIBLE) AND THEN LASTLY, I
HAD BEEN FIELDING HUNDREDS OF
eMAILS, EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING.
AND THEN ALONG WITH ALL OF THE
MESSAGES THAT ARE GETTING SENT
AROUND THE DIFFERENT CITIES,
RANCHO IS HANDLING IT QUITE WELL
ON HOW WE DO EVERYTHING.
THAT'S IT.
>> THANKS MR. VICE-MAYOR.
FOR MY OWN REPORT I WAS PRESENT
AT THE MARCH AT CITY HALL I
THINK IT WAS WEEK AGO.
COUNTED ABOUT 90 PEOPLE THERE AT
THE MAX.
I TALKED TO A LOT OF THE PEOPLE
IN ATTENDANCE.
SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER, ANYWAY.
AND SAW MANY I KNEW AND MANY I
DID NOT KNOW.
THE DISCUSSIONS WERE
INTERESTING.
AND I THINK ENLIGHTENING FOR THE
PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH THEM AND OF
COURSE THERE WERE NO
COMPLICATIONS OR PROBLEMS, CITY
STAFF PUT OUT WATER AND MASKS
FOR THOSE WHO EITHER NEEDED
WATER OR DID NOT HAVE A MASK.
TRY TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE AS
POSSIBLE.
AND THE MAJORITY OF THE GROUP
CONTINUED THE MARCH ONTO THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHERE I THINK
THEY WERE FOR A WHILE.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEIR
ACTIVITIES WERE AT THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
SOME OF THE OFFICERS GAVE SOME
OF THE PROTESTORS RIDES BACK TO
CITY HALL.
IT APPEARS THAT EVERYTHING WENT
WELL WITH THAT EVENT.
I'M HAPPY WITH IT FROM ALL
ANGLES.
DONALD, I DID MEET WITH THE
FOLSOM CORDOVA UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT AND THEY CLEARLY HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE.
A NUMBER OF KIDS WERE PROBABLY
LOST WITH THE SHUTDOWN IN TERMS
OF THEY WENT HOME, SUPPOSED TO
LOG ON AND THEY DIDN'T.
THEY DON'T HAVE A HANDLE YET ON
HOW MANY THEY ARE.
OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE
STATE EARLY ON REPORTING 10%
STUDENTS WENT HOME AND NEVER
WERE IN CONTACT AGAIN.
I DON'T THINK THAT IS OUR
SITUATION, BUT I DON'T KNOW,
UNTIL I SEE NUMBERS.
I HAVE REQUESTED THOSE A COUPLE
OF TIMES NOW.
I THINK THEY WILL BE
FORTHCOMING.
AND THOSE SHOULD BE VALUE TO US
AS A CITY.
WE CAN LOOK NEIGHBORHOOD BY
NEIGHBORHOOD AND SCHOOL BY
SCHOOL AND SEE WHERE THE
GREATEST TECHNOLOGY OR ECONOMIC
OR WHATEVER CHALLENGES ARE
KEEPING THE KIDS FROM CONNECTING
WITH SCHOOL.
THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT I THINK WE
SHARE IN WITH THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING,
SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO HELP TO
MOVE THE NUMBERS IN A MORE
POSITIVE WAY.
AS WE LOOK TOWARDS THE FALL IT
IS UNLIKELY THAT OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICT WILL HAVE A FULL NORMAL
SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR.
THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF
ADJUSTMENT, MAYBE HALF OF THE
STUDENTS-0 THE MORNING,1/2 THE
AFTERNOON, WE DON'T KNOW, AS
DONALD SAID THEY WITH NOT
ANNOUNCED OR DECIDED.
THERE WILL BE SOME SORT OF A
MODIFICATION LIKE THAT AND
SUPPORTING ROLE IN EDUCATION IT
IS IMPORTANT WE SAY ON TOP THAT
AS WE CAN.
I PARTICIPATED IN DIPLOMA
DRIVE-THRU AT CORDOVA HIGH,
INSTIGATED IT AS A CITY, WE HAD
A ONE EVENT GRADUATION SCHEDULED
IN CORDOVA, STIMULATED THEM TO
DO SECOND ONE.
THE AWESOME THING ABOUT IT MORE
THAN 90% OF THE GRADUATES CAME
THROUGH THE LINE TO GET THEIR
DIPLOMA AND I THINK THAT WE MAY
HAVE DONE ONE OF THE BETTER JOBS
IN THE REGION, THE HIGH SCHOOL
STAFF DID ONE OF THE BETTER JOBS
IN THE REGION OF ACCOMMODATING
STUDENTS.
BECAUSE THEY BASICALLY KEPT ALL
OF THE ADULTS SAFE, KEPT
FAMILIES AND FRIENDS IN THE
CARS, CARS WERE DRIVING BY AND
NEAR WHERE THE CARS WERE THERE
WAS A STAGE SET UP AND ON THE
STAGE WERE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER
OR TWO OR PRINCIPAL, ALL MASKED
BUT THE GRADUATE WAS ABLE TO
GOWN GOWN UP, WALK ACROSS
DEPENDED AND GET DIPLOMA
UNMASKED GET A PHOTO ON THE
STAGE WITH CORDOVA HIGH
BACKGROUND CYRUS WAS THERE AS
WELL IT WAS REALLY A NICE EVENT
AND BETTER DONE THAN THAN SOME
OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS AROUND, IF
WE HAD A SMALL ROLE IN THAT I'M
GLAD THAT WE CAN THAT AND 90%
NUMBER WAS AWESOME.
ATTENDED SO MANY MEETINGS.
SO MANY MEETINGS VIA ZOOM OR
VIRTUALLY.
ATTENDED CONVENTION VIRTUALLY.
WAS PLANNING TO GO TO THE CNU,
CONFERENCE WHICH COULD NOT BE
HELD BECAUSE OF THE COVID CRISIS
BUT I ATTENDED VIRTUALLY, WHICH,
IN SOME WAYS IS BETTER, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO STAY IN A HOTEL, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO GET A BAD NIGHT'S
SLEEP, YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT BAD
FOOD.
AND YOU CAN GO TO FOUR SESSIONS
AT ONCE BECAUSE THEY VIDEO THEM
AND YOU CAN PLAY THEM WHEN YOU
WANT THEM TO PLAY!
AND THEY HAD SOCIAL ENGAGEMENTS
THAT ALLOWED YOU VIA ZOOM TO
BASICALLY IT IS ALMOST LIKE YOUR
SITTING IN A RECEPTION SOMEWHERE
AND CHOOSING PEOPLE TO TALK TO
OR TALKING TO THE GROUP.
NOT A BAD EXPERIENCE.
DIFFERENT THAN GOING TO A
REGULAR MEETING.
YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF SMALL
OFFHAND CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE
VALUABLE.
ELECTED OFFICIAL TO ELECTED
OFFICIAL.
BUT YOU WERE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE
A LOT OF THE MORE TECHNICAL
LEARNING HERE IN A WAY THAT
MIGHT BE BETTER THAN A REGULAR
MEETING.
ATTENDED MEETINGS OF THE G-SAC
BOARD, REV AND TAX COMMITTEE AND
OTHERS THAT I'M PROBABLY
FORGETTING ABOUT.
SPENDING A GOOD DEAL OF TIME
WORKING ON YOUTH SPORTS IN
RANCHO CORDOVA AND BROADER THAN
THAT AND TRYING TO FIND A
HEALTHY SAFE WAY BACK TO YOUTH
SPORTS.
I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE
COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS, THEY ISSUED A VERY NICE
GLOSSY REPORT TALKING ABOUT HOW
SCHOOLS COULD COME BACK IN THE
FALL AND IT IS, YOU KNOW, A 50
OR 60 PAGE DOCUMENT.
THEY HAD MAYBE I THINK 60 PEOPLE
ON THE COMMITTEE TO WRITE THIS,
THAT INCLUDES ALL OF THE
SUPERINTENDENTS OF ALL OF THE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN SACRAMENTO
COUNTY.
THEY HONOURABLE A SINGLE
SCIENTIST, A SINGLE MEDICAL
ADVISOR WAS THERE AND THAT IS
COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER WHOSE TIME
IS BEING SPENT EVERYWHERE RIGHT
NOW AND IN DEMAND EVERYWHERE AND
HAD VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
CONTRIBUTION TO ALL ASPECTS OF
THIS.
IT IS A PRETTY DOCUMENT.
WHEN YOU LOOK FOR SPORTS IN
THERE OR EXTRACURRICULAR IT
BASICALLY SAYS WE DON'T KNOW AND
THESE SEEM DANGEROUS.
AND THERE ARE NOT MANY
GUIDELINES GIVEN FOR WHAT IS
POSSIBLE OR NOT.
AND THERE IS REALLY NO
DISCUSSION IN THE DOCUMENT I
WOULD SAY, AN ADEQUATE
DISCUSSION OF MANAGEMENT OF RISK
WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
GIVE YOU A SIMPLE EXAMPLE.
YOU CAN NOT TREAT KINDERGARTEN
CLASS THE WAY YOU WOULD TREAT AN
8th GRADE CLASS.
THE BEHAVIORS ARE DIFFERENT,
WHAT YOU DO IN TERMS OF
CLEANLINESS AND SEPARATION ARE
DIFFERENT.
AND IF YOU CAN NOT ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT UP FRONT AND YOU ARE
FORCING YOURSELF INTO SAYING
THEY MUST BE EQUALLY SAFE WE
WILL HAVE PROBLEMS OR WE ARE
FOOLING OURSELVES ONE WAY OR THE
OTHER.
I THINK WE NEED TO GET REALLY
SMART ABOUT HOW WE DO PATHWAY
BACK TO SCHOOL AND PATHWAY BACK
TO YOUTH SPORTS.
I'M CHEERED BY THE APPROACH OF
OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT TO THE
EXTRACURRICULAR INCLUDING
SPORTS.
BECAUSE THEY FULLY UNDERSTAND
THE VALUE OF THAT IN DEVELOPING
FULL KIT AND PARTICULARLY ON THE
RANCHO CORDOVA SIDE AND
INSPIRING OUR KIDS TO DO WELL IN
SCHOOL AND BE MOTIVATED TO
SCHOOL BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY CAN
DO IN SPORTS AND
EXTRA-CURRICULAR.
PLEASED WITH THAT HOPING TO FIND
A GOOD SOLUTION MOVING FORWARD
THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE.
WE ARE NOT JUST MIRED IN
BUREAUCRACY.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT
THE --
SCHOOL DISTRICT MEETING THAT YOU
WENT TO, WAS THERE ANYTHING SAID
ABOUT THE ARTS, THE MUSIC OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT, IS THAT
SOMETHING PUT ASIDE AND THEY
DON'T KNOW HOW OR IF THEY ARE
GOING TO DO IT?
>> THAT COUNTY REPORT SAID NO
BAND, NO MUSIC NO CHORUS.
NO THEATER.
I THINK IT SAID YOU COULD DO
SHEETER TRAINING, THEATER
EDUCATION WAS POSSIBLE IF
EVERYONE WAS 6 FEET APART
INQUIRYING MASKS.
YOU ARE SPEAKING LOUDLY,
INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER,
THEY SORT OF SAID SAY NO TO THAT
AND I DON'T THINK THAT IS A
REASONABLE RESPONSE GIVEN
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IS GOING ON
AT THIS POINT.
THEY NEED TO BE MORE NUANCED
THAN THAT AND BALANCE THE RISK.
>> THE MUSIC FOR A LONG TIME, A
FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THAT
IS SOMETHING THAT HELPS PEOPLE
WITH MATH YOU KNOW, MUSIC IS
PART OF THE ARTS.
BUT IT IS ALSO MATH.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT --
YOU SEE THAT --
(INAUDIBLE) ARTS AND MUSIC.
IT SHOULD NOT BE DONE.
BUT --
(INAUDIBLE) I DON'T KNOW.
BUT MAYBE THERE MAY BE SOME WAY
TO HAVE MUSIC, EVEN IF YOU ARE
TRYING TO GET 6 FEET APART OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT, USE THE
GYM.
>> EDUCATION DOES NOT JUST
HAPPEN IN A CLASSROOM.
EDUCATION OF OUR YOUTH HAPPENS
ACROSS THE BROAD SPECTRUM OF
ACTIVITIES AND PEOPLE ARE NOT
RATE ISED AND STIMULATED AND
GROW IN ALL OF THESE
EXTRA-CURRICULAR WAYS.
NOT JUST SPORT OR MATH, NOT JUST
MUSIC BUT A COMBINATION OF ALL
OF THESE THINGS THAT CREATE
GREAT CITIZENS AND EDUCATE
PEOPLE AND YOU CAN NOT JUST LOP
ONE OFF AND NOT EXPECT TO HAVE
SIGNIFICANT REPERCUSSIONS
ELSEWHERE.
>> MY IMPRESSION SO FAR WITH OUR
(INAUDIBLE), ELK GROVE WAS THE
FIRST ONE TO ANNOUNCE A PLAN OF
ANY KIND.
FIRST TO CLOSE AND FIRST ONES
COMING BACK, MAINLY BECAUSE THEY
HAVE YEAR-ROUND SCHOOL.
IT IS SUPPOSED TO START IN
MID-JULY, NOW STARTING IN THE
BEGINNING OF AUGUST.
ALL OF THE THINGS BEING BROUGHT
UP I DON'T THINK WE ARE THERE
YET.
THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHETHER TO LOOK IN THE
CLASSROOM, HOW WILL THEY DO
THAT, AND YOU KNOW, GET TO THESE
THINGS, BUT --
THEY WERE SO, I DON'T WANT TO
SAY UNPREPARED, NOBODY WAS
PREPARED FOR THIS, BUT TO COME,
YOU KNOW, THE PLAN TO COME BACK,
I GUESS, AND EVERY SCHOOL
DISTRICT HAD THEIR OWN WAY OF
DOING IT AND SOUNDS LIKE RANCHO
CORDOVA IS NOT (INAUDIBLE) ELK
GROVE AND HAVE NOT TALKED TO SAC
CITY YOU ARE IN INFANCY PHASE.
IT IS NOT AS IF (INAUDIBLE)
RELEASE A PLAN AND RANCHO
CORDOVA'S COMMENT WAS WE ARE NOT
DOING THAT.
BUT WHAT THEY WILL DO, WHO
KNOWS.
AND YOU TALK --
I KNOW THERE WAS TALK ABOUT YOU
KNOW, CONDITIONING AND SOME
OTHER THINGS THEY MIGHT TRY TO
DO SAFELY, BUT WHETHER OR NOT
THERE IS GOING TO BE FALL SPORTS
OF ANY KIND, I DON'T THINK THAT
ANYBODY CAN (INAUDIBLE) AND
DAVID TO YOUR POINT, YEAH, THEY
MADE A COMMITTEE TO TRY TO
DECIDE WHAT THEY WITH DO AND
THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT HOW DO
YOU PUT KIDS IN A CLASSROOM AND
KEEP THEM SIX FEET APART.
I CAN TELL YOU THE SCHOOL BOARD
MEMBER THAT IS PRETTY MUCH
IMPOSSIBLE.
YOU CAN WORK --
(INAUDIBLE) ALL OF THE BOOK
SHELVES AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND
DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND I
HAVE HEARD THAT THE SMALLER
SCHOOL SYSTEMS CAN PULL IT OFF,
IT IS (INAUDIBLE) AND THEY CAN
(INAUDIBLE) STORE IT SOMEWHERE
ELSE, WE HAVE 90 PROPERTIES TO
DO THAT WITH, THE FUNDAMENTALS
ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
AS FRUSTRATED AS WE ALL ARE AND
WANT ANSWERS TODAY FROM A SYSTEM
AND INSTITUTIONAL LEVEL IT WILL
TAKE TIME TO MAKE ALL OF THESE
DECISIONS.
>> I THINK YOU MAILED THERETO
DONALD.
IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR WORLD, I
CAN SEE IT HAPPENING.
YOU KNOW, WHERE THERE IS NOT
SUCH A MASS NUMBER OF CAMPUSES
AND STUDENTS AND LABOR
AGREEMENTS AND CONTRACTS AND ALL
SORTS OF OTHER THINGS.
>> I DIDN'T EVEN GET INTO THAT?
>> YES, YOU GOT MORE
FLEXIBILITY.
CERTAINLY SEEING PRIVATE SCHOOLS
RESPOND AND SAYING THINGS LIKE
YOUR KID WILL BE AT SCHOOL EVERY
DAY WE ARE SPREADING OUT ON THE
CAMPUS, WE WILL BE GETTING ALL
OVER THE PLACE.
>> YES, BUT --
(INAUDIBLE) YES, IT IS
(INAUDIBLE) YOU CAN NOT JUST
TAKE ALL OF THE BOOK SHELVES
OUT, WHERE WILL YOU PUT THEM.
>> I WILL SAY THE LEAGUE OF
CALIFORNIA CITIES, REV AND TAX
POLICY COMMITTEE THAT MET LAST
WEEK WE HAD A COUPLE OF HEATED
DEBATES, THE SPLIT ROLE IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT FROM OUR POINT OF
VIEW, PROPOSAL TO MODIFY PROP 13
TO COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES CAN BE
REASSESSED ON REGULAR BASIS
INSTEAD OF HOLDING ORIGINAL
VALUE AND INCREASE 2% PER YEAR
THE WAY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY IS
AND DEBATE ABOUT WHETHER WE
SHOULD CARVE OUT COMMERCIAL
PROPERTIES AND REASSESS THEM ON
A MORE REGULAR BASIS.
AND THE LEAGUE ENDED UP --
THAT COMMITTEE VOTED IN
OPPOSITION BY A 2-1 RATIO.
IT IS PERENNIAL ISSUE THAT COMES
UP OFTEN, PROBABLY HAS MORE
MOMENTUM THAN IT HAD IN PREVIOUS
YEARS.
I WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF
WHERE THE LEAGUE WAS ON THAT?
>> ANY LEGISLATORS YOU CAN THINK
OF THAT ARE TRYING TO PUSH THAT?
>> NO, I CAN NOT NAME THEM OFF
THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
IF I DID A SEARCH I MIGHT FIND
THEM.
>> LEGISLATIVE INTENT TO PURSUE
THAT THIS.
>> THANKS.
>> AND PROBLEM IS IN DETAILS.
ALL OTHER THINGS IN HUMAN
OPERATIONS OR LIFE, THE DEVIL IS
IN DETAILS.
AND YOU MIGHT AGREE AT THE TOP
LEVEL, COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OUGHT
TO TREAT THAT DIFFERENTLY, AS
SOON AS YOU GET INTO HOW DO WE
DO THAT, ALL KINDS OF STUFF
HAPPENS AND PROBABLY THE MOST
COMPELLING ARGUMENT WAS YOU WILL
INCREASE THE RENTS, NOW YOU HAVE
MORE PROPERTY TAXES LANDLORDS
CHARGE RENT AND SMALL BUSINESS
ENDS UP PAY THAT, BY AND LARGE,
SMALL TAX ON SMALL BUSINESS WHAT
IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU SPLIT THE
ROLE.
AND WAYS AROUND THAT WERE NOT
FOUND IN ANYTHING WE SAW.
ALL RIGHT.
ANY OTHER THINGS FROM COUNCIL?
I DON'T SEE ANY HANDS UP.
SO MR. CITY MANAGER, REPORT?
>> THANK YOU MR. MAYOR.
I THINK MOST OF THE EVENTS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED.
I WON'T GO THERE.
I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO A
MEMBER OF OUR POLICE TEAM.
LIEUTENANT LEWIS SERVING AS
ASSISTANT CHIEF SINCE JULY OF
2017 HAS TAKEN A JOB WITH CITY
OF ELK GROVE AND WILL BE LEAVING
US AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.
I WANTED TO TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO NOT ONLY THANK
HIM FOR AMAZING JOB THAT HE HAS
DONE FOR US FOR THIS COMMUNITY
AND WISH HIM WELL ON HIS FUTURE
ENDEAVORS AND THE WORK THAT HE
HAS AHEAD OF HIM IN ELK GROVE.
WE HAD THIS DISCUSSION EARLIER
TODAY ABOUT POLICE AND THE
COMMENTS THAT, MR. MAYOR, YOU
MADE AND MR. (INAUDIBLE) I HAVE
HAD A CHANCE TO WORK WITH OUR
POLICE GEM FOR MANY YEARS AND
WITH THAT I HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO
WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH CHAD.
AND ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW HIM,
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE TRUE
MEANING OF PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE
AND RESPONSE IN THE COMMUNITY,
THE WAY THAT HE CONDUCTS
HIMSELF.
THE WAY THAT HE CONDUCTS
BUSINESS.
AND I HAVE ALSO --
ONE THING THAT I HAVE SAID ABOUT
CHAD HE IS SOMEBODY WITH A BIG
HEART.
WITH A DEEP CARE FOR THE
COMMUNITY AND SOMEBODY WHO HAS
TRULY GIVEN A LOT OF HIMSELF TO
SERVE US AND SERVE US WELL.
SO THANK YOU, CHAD.
I JUST WANTED TO BE SURE THAT I
TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY.
I KNOW THAT IT IS --
THIS IS A DIFFICULT TIME FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
AND AS WE MENTIONED, WE --
IT IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US
TO LEARN AND GROW FROM NOT ONLY
THE LOCAL INCIDENTS BUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL.
BUT WHEN I GET TO WORK WITH OUR
CHIEF AND OUR ASSISTANT CHIEF
AND SOME OF THE ATTITUDES THAT I
SEE, I HAVE GREAT HOPE.
THAT WE CAN LISTEN, WE WILL BE
ABLE TO WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
AND WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THE
NECESSARY CHANGES TO CONTINUE
THE GREAT SERVICE THAT WE HAVE
BEEN PROVIDING TO OUR COMMUNITY.
SO WITH THAT I WANTED TO GIVE
THIS OPPORTUNITY TO AUR CHIEF,
CHIEF ATOM ADAMS AND ASSISTANCEF
IF THEY WANT TO COME TO THE
PODIUM TO SAY A FEW WORDS.
IT WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY
FOR US TO SAY THANK YOU TO.
S TO YOU.
>> THANKS I WANT TO YIELD THE
FLOOR TO CHAD LEWIS.
I WILL SAY I HAVE BEEN BLESSED
TO HAVE SHORT TIME WITH HIM.
HE CAME IN BEHIND ME AND HAS
DONE A PHENOMENAL JOB AND
PLEASURE TO RECONNECT WITH HIM
AS HE GOES ONTO THE NEXT PHASE
OF HIS JOURNEY IN HIS CAREER.
>> THANK YOU CHIEF AND THANK YOU
CITY MANAGER.
AND GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND
COUNCIL MEMBERS NEAR AND FAR.
I'M GOING TO KEEP MY COMMENTS
RELATIVELY BRIEF, BECAUSE IF I
SAY TOO MUCH I WILL --
I HAVE GOT A LOT TO SAY, I THINK
IF I GET CARRIED AWAY I WOULD BE
HERE ALL NIGHT TALKING ABOUT ALL
OF THE THINGS WE HAVE
EXPERIENCED HERE IN THE
WONDERFUL CITY OVER THE LAST
THREE YEARS.
BUT SUFFICE TO IT SAY I HAVE
GROWN CONSIDERABLY AS A PERSON
AND PROFESSIONALLY WITH OUR TIME
HERE TOGETHER.
I'M CERTAINLY BETTER FOR THE
EXPERIENCE.
I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT THE CITY
IS AS WELL.
A BIG PART OF WHAT DREW ME DOWN
TO ELK GROVE WAS THE PARALLELS
THAT YOU CAN DRAW BETWEEN THE
CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA AND THE
CITY OF ELK GROVE.
SO IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE HERE.
MY THREE YEARS WAS JUST ABOUT UP
IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS ANYHOW, I
KNEW MY TIME WAS SHORT AND
LEARNING EVERYTHING THAT I HAD
HERE AT THE CITY, I WANTED TO
CONTINUE THAT EFFORT WITH A LIKE
DEPARTMENT AND SO THAT WAS A BIG
PART OF WHAT DREW ME DOWN TO ELK
GROVE AND I'M EXCITED FOR THE
FUTURE BUT I WILL TREASURE THE
EXPERIENCES THAT WE HAVE HAD AND
LEARN FROM ALL OF THE LESSONS
AND THE EXPERIENCES THAT WE HAVE
HAD TOGETHER.
THANKS VERY MUCH AND THANKS FOR
EVERYTHING.
>> THANKS FOR YOUR GOOD WORK
HERE.
IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED.
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE GOING TO
ELK GROVE AND TAKE OUR GREAT
EXPERIENCES AND SECRETS AND GIVE
TO IT THAT COMMUNITY CHASING US
FOR A WHILE, TRYING TO CATCH UP
AND IT IS FAIR AT THIS POINT
THAT WE BID YOU FARE WELL AND
GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE HELP THEM
OUT A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE DOWN
THERE AND FOLLOWING OUR LEAD IN
A LOT OF WAYS AND NOW YOU CAN
ADD TO THAT.
SO CONGRATULATIONS.
>> LET US KNOW WHEN YOU WANT TO
COME BACK!
>> I HAVE A COMMENT.
>> GO AHEAD, LINDA.
>> OKAY.
SO YES, I THINK THERE ARE
SEVERAL PEOPLE IN ELK GROVE WHO
ARE SQUIRMING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE
OF YOUR COMMENTS.
>> REALLY?
HMMM --
>> HMM --
--
YES, RIGHT.
BUT, THIS IS WHERE THE --
(INAUDIBLE) AND CERTAINLY HAVING
YOU GROW AND ACCOMPLISH SO MUCH
HERE IN RANCHO CORDOVA HAS BEEN
AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE.
WE ARE INCREDIBLY SAD TO SEE YOU
GO.
WE ARE PROUD OF YOU FOR GETTING
A SUPER POSITION IN ELK GROVE.
THE WAY WE HAVE BEEN PROUD OF
OTHER CITY STAFF WHO HAVE COME
AND LEARNED THEIR TRADE, LEARNED
THEIR PROFESSION, AND GONE OFF
TO HELP OTHER COMMUNITIES GROW
THE SAME WAY.
WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO GROW IN
RANCHO CORDOVA IN THE LAST 16
YEARS.
SO CONGRATULATIONS, YOU
CERTAINLY DESERVE IT.
>> VERY GOOD.
THANKS LINDA.
ALL RIGHT.

>> WHITE ROCK CENTER MAJOR
DESIGN REVIEW PROJECT NUMBER
DD9940 LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST
CORNER OF WHITE ROCK ROTE AND
LUYUNG DRIVE.
>> STAFF REPORT?
>> GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND
COUNCIL MEMBERS.
JUNE COW WELLS WITH THE PLANNING
DEPARTMENT.
APPLICANT REQUESTING MAJOR
DESIGN REVIEW FOR 2-15,000
INTERIM 40 SQUARE FOOT LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS
WITH ASSOCIATED OFFICE SPACE
INCLUDING PARKING, YARD AREA,
LIGHTING AND LANDSCAPING.
GOING TO BE ON 2.87 ACRES.
IF YOU RECALL THIS WAS CONTINUED
FROM THE JUNE 1, CITY COUNCIL
MEETING.
A COUPLE OF REASONS THAT COUNCIL
WANTED IT CONTINUED.
COUNCIL RAISED CONCERNS WITH THE
NUMBER OF DRIVEWAYS ALONG WHITE
ROCK ROAD AND WHITE ROCK ROAD IS
ONE OF THE MAIN CORRIDORS TO THE
FUTURE RIO DEL ORO SPECIFIC
PLAN.
COUNCIL RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT
THE FUTURE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
TENANTS ON WHITE ROCK ROAD DRIVE
WAY ENTRANCE.
AND COUNCIL REQUESTED ONE SET OF
PROJECT PLANS.
AND COUNCIL DIRECTED APPLICANT
TO PROVIDE MORE ARCHITECTURAL
DETAILS ON THE BUILDING.
SO THE PROJECT SITE IS LOCATED
ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE
WHITE ROCK ROAD AND LUYUNG
DRIVE.
EXISTING BUSINESSES ALL THE WAY
AROUND IT.
AND HERE IS AN EXISTING STREET
VIEW.
TAKEN FROM WHITE ROCK ROAD AND
YOU CAN SEE LUYUNG OFF TO THE
LEFT OR RIGHT HAND SIDE.
SO LOOKING AT THE FIRST CONCERN
WITH THE DRIVEWAYS.
REVIEWING THE WHITE ROCK
IMPROVEMENTS.
SO FUTURE WHITE ROCK ROAD
IMPROVEMENTS REPAVE IN AND RIGHT
NOW IN THE PROBABLY THIS YEAR
COMING UP IN TO NEXT YEAR
INSTALLING FACILITIES FOR FUTURE
SIGNAL AND LUYUNG DRIVE THE
WHITE ROCK ROAD SIGNAL AND
(INAUDIBLE) ARE SCALED TO BE
INSTALLED AT FUTURE DATE.
ANY DRIVEWAYS WITHIN THE BLOCK
BETWEEN THE TWO STARS WILL BE
(INAUDIBLE) DRIVEWAYS.
PROJECT DRIVEWAY AS IT RELATES
TO DISTANCE, EXISTING DRIVEWAY
AND FUTURE WHITE ROCK ROAD
CONSTRUCTION IS IN GENERAL
CONFORMANCE WITH SACRAMENTO
COUNTY IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS.
THE TWO STARS ARE FOR THE FUTURE
SIGNALS AND THEN THE THREE
ORANGE ARROWS ARE THE DRIVEWAYS.
THE TWO EXISTING DRIVEWAYS IN
WHITE ROCK ROAD IS MAIN DRIVEWAY
IN CENTER OF THE BLOCK AND
EXISTING DRIVEWAY WEST OF THAT
DRIVEWAY.
THE PROPOSED DRIVEWAY FOR THE
PROJECT SITE YOU CAN SEE THAT,
JUST WEST OF THE STAR AT LUYUNG
DRIVE.
IN ADDITION, THE APPLICANT
PROVIDED THE REASONS FOR THE
PROPOSED DRIVEWAY ON WHITE ROCK
ROAD AND THAT IS STATED ON PAGE
TWO OF THE STAFF REPORT.
THEY STATED THAT IN ORDER TO
ACCOMMODATE EMERGENCY ACCESS
VEHICLES, SO TURN BING THE WEST
DRIVEWAY, THEY COULD LIKELY TO
BE A SMALLER FOOTPRINT.
IT WOULD IMPACT THE ADJACENT
PARCEL TO THE WEST WITH
INCREASED TRAFFIC.
AND ACCESS TO EASTERLY PARCEL
WOULD REQUIRE ALL VEHICLES TO
CROSS THE WEST PARCEL AND THE
PER THE ORIGINAL MAP, THERE ARE
THREE ACCESS POINTS ALONG WHITE
ROCK ROAD AND ONE OF THE ACCESS
POINTS IS FOR THE PROPOSED
PROJECT.
SO THE SECOND CONCERN OF LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL TENANTS ENTERING ON
WHITE ROCK DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE.
THE APPLICANT STATES THAT THERE
IS NOT A CURRENT TENANT BUT THEY
ARE ANTICIPATING THE SHOWROOM
TYPE USER, WOULD THAT BE TILE OR
CARPET FLOORING.
SO THERE IS ONE DRIVEWAY ACCESS
ON WHITEROCK ROAD MAINLY FOR
CUSTOMER EMPLOYEE ACCESS.
THE REVISED SITE PLAN WHERE WE
ADDED A CONDITION WAS ACCESSED
FROM THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY AND
THAT WOULD BE USED MAINLY FOR
CUSTOMER EMPLOYEE BEINGS THE AND
THAT PROVIDES INTERCONNECTIVITY
WITHIN THE AREA.
AND IN THE FUTURE ACCESS FROM
THE WESTBOUND TRAFFIC.
SO PEOPLE WOULD COME ONTO LUYUNG
DRIVE FROM THE EAST HEADING WEST
AND THEN TAKE A LEFT DOWN LUYUNG
AND THEN ACCESS THE PROJECT
SITE.
AND IN ADDITION THERE IS TWO
DIRECT ACCESS LOCATION TO
ENCLOSED YARD AREA OFF EXISTING
DRIVE AND OFF OF LUYUNG DRIVE.
COUNCIL REQUESTED ONE SET OF
PROJECT PLANS AND TO PROVIDE
MORE ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS ON
THE BUILDING.
SO THE PROJECT PLANS THAT WERE
SUBMITTED WERE FOR EACH
BUILDING, BUILDING A AND
BUILDING B.
AND THEY ALSO INCLUDED A COLORED
LANDSCAPE PLAN, SO IT WOULD BE
MORE CLEAR WHERE THE LANDSCAPE
ENDED UP.
RIGHT HERE IS A BUILDING
ELEVATIONS.
THERE IS FACING WHITE ROCK ROAD.
AND SIDE ELEVATION, THAT IS
FACING INTERIOR PROPERTY LINE.
AND THIS IS WEST ELEVATION
FACING DRIVE AISLE TO BUILDING A
AND FACING LUYUNG DRIVE FOR
BUILDING B AND THEN OF COURSE
THE REAR ELEVATION FOR THE
BUILDINGS AND THOSE WILL BE
FACING THE REAR STORAGE YARD.
SO THE APPLICANT PROVIDD SOME
PERSPECTIVES BECAUSE LOOKING AT
THAT (INAUDIBLE) ELEVATIONS YOU
CAN NOT TELL THE OFFSETS, THE
PERSPECTIVE GIVES YOU THAT
VISUAL LOOK.
SO THIS IS BUILDING A FROM WHITE
ROCK ROAD.
AND OFF TO THE RIGHT IS THE
EXISTING DRIVEWAY.
NOW, THIS PERSPECTIVE DOES NOT
SHOW THE CONNECTION BUT THERE
COULD BE CONNECTION FROM THAT
PARKING LOT TO THE EXISTING
DRIVEWAY.
THIS IS BUILDING B.
FROM WHITE ROCK ROAD AND OFF TO
THE LEFT-HAND SIDE WOULD BE
LUYUNG SO THAT IS A SIDEWALK OFF
OF LUYUNG DRIVE.
THIS IS BUILDING B AND STORAGE
YARD FROM LUYUNG DRIVE.
THE WALL WOULD HAVE VINES
GROWING ON IT, SO BE EVENTUALLY
A GREEN WALL.
THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, PROVIDED A
25-FOOT WIDE LANDSCAPING ALONG
WHITE ROCK ROAD AND LUYUNG DRIVE
AND THEN A 10-FOOT WIDE
LANDSCAPE ALONG THE EXISTING
DRIVEWAY.
THIS PLAN DOES NOT SHOW THAT
CONNECTION AGAIN, THAT
CONNECTION WAS LAST MINUTE THEY
HAD SOME DISCUSSION WITH THE
ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER.
SO THEY PROVIDED VARIETY OF
TREES AND SHRUBS AND GROUND
COVER AND REQUIRED SHADE AREA
AND IT ENHANCES THE APPEARANCE
OF THE SITE.
THE VINES ARE PROPOSED ALONG THE
SIX-FOOT HIGH MASONRY WALL TO
DETER GRAFFITI AND APPEARANCE
HAS A NICE GRAIN LANDSCAPE.
AND STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT CITY
COUNCIL FIND PROJECT AS FOLLOWS
TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
GUIDELINES SECTION 15183 AND
ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING MAJOR
DESIGN REVIEW FOR WHITE ROCK
CENTER, 9940 WITH PROJECT PLANS
AND CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
AND THE APPLICANT IS HERE WITH
THE ARCHITECT.
>> OKAY.
THANKS.
OPEN PUBLIC HEARING ANY SPEAKER
CARDS PER CHANCE ON THIS?
>> WE DO NOT.
>> COUNCIL MEMBERS WHAT DO YOU
THINK?
WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE?
LINDA?
ANY CONCERNS IN PARTICULAR?
>> NO, JUST A QUESTION.
AND A COMPLIMENT TO THE
LANDSCAPING (INAUDIBLE) ON LU
YUNG AND THE MASONRY WALL ON LU
YUNG WILL BE ASSET.
IT GOES BACK TO OUR OFFICIAL
INDUSTRIAL OFFICE PARK DESIGN
WHERE YOU HAVE INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING AND THEN ENHANCED
LANDSCAPING TO CREATE A REALLY
NICE VISUAL APPEARANCE WHICH IS
SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE THIS WILL
BE MAIN ACCESS TO RIO DEL ORO.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LARGE UNUSED
AREAS IN THE REAR.
ARE THEY GOING TO BE (INAUDIBLE)
AND ASSUME THEY WILL BE FOR
OUTSIDE STORAGE.
THAT IS FOR THE APPLICANT AND
THEN A QUESTION FOR STAFF AS TO
WHETHER THERE WOULD NEED TO BE
ANY FURTHER APPROVAL, LIKE
ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL OF
STORAGE OR WHATEVER.
>> APPLICANT REPRESENTATIVE IS
HERE?
>> YES.
>> WERE YOU ABLE TO HEAR THE
QUESTION.
>> ABOUT THE YARD?
COME ON DOWN, INTRODUCE
YOURSELF.
BUT THE QUESTION WAS, WHAT SORT
OF MATERIAL TREATMENT WOULD THE
YARD BE GIVEN?
>> THE YARD WILL HAVE HARD
SURFACE ASPHALT OR CONCRETE AND
COMPLETELY SCREENED WITH A
BLOCKED WALL AND SOLID METAL
GATES CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING FROM
THE STREET OR PARKING LOT.
>> PLANT VINES AND IRRIGATION TO
SUPPORT GREEN COVERING ON THE
WALLS?
>> LANDSCAPED ON ALL FOUR SIDES.
>> ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU WANTED
TO ADD TO THE PRESENTATION?
>> NO I THINK JUNE DID A GREAT
JOB FOR US.
>> LINDA DID YOU GET THAT ANSWER
TO YOUR QUESTION?
>> YES (INAUDIBLE).
>> AND SHE HAD ADDITIONAL
QUESTION FOR STAFF.
>> YES, ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE
STORED WOULD HAVE TO BE SCREENED
COMPLETELY.
IT CANNOT BE ABOVE THAT WALL.
>> RIGHT.
THIS WILL NOT BE LIKE AN AUTO
RECYCLER SITUATION RACKS
EXTENDING BEYOND THE WALL THAT
EVERYONE GOATS SEE?
>> NO.
>>  GETS TO SEE?
>> NO.
>> THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
COUNCIL COMMENTS I'M ALSO
SATISFIED WITH THE LANDSCAPING
IN PARTICULAR AND EXPLANATION
FOR THE DRIVEWAY SEEMS
APPROPRIATE, GOOD JOB ON THAT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS, COUNCIL?
HEARING NONE, NO MORE PUBLIC
COMMENT, CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
AND AVAILABLE FOR A MOTION.
>> MOVE TO APPROVAL OF
RESOLUTION MAJOR DESIGN REVIEW
FOR THE TWO BUILDINGS.
FIND THAT ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT
IS ADEQUATE AND APPROPRIATE AND
THAT WE APPROVE THE MAJOR DESIGN
REVIEW.
>> IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> SECOND BY McGARVEY.
SENSING A PATTERN HERE.
OKAY.
ROLL CALL PLEASE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER McGARVEY.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER TERRY?
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER BUDGE.
>> YES.
>> VICE-MAYOR GATEWOOD.
>> YES.
>> MAYOR SANDER?
>> AYE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THAT BRINGS US TO 12, REGULAR
CALENDAR ITEMS AND 12.1.
CLERK READ THAT ITEM PLESS.
>> DISCUSSION ON THE TRUMARK AT
KASSIS PROJECT.
>> I WILL RECUSE MYSELF BECAUSE
I LIVE TOO CLOSE TO THE SUBJECT
PROPERTY, SUGGEST MR. McGARVEY
RUN THE MEETING UNLESS
VICE-MAYOR GATEWOOD YOU WANT TO
ATTEMPT IT BY DISTANCE?
AT YOUR DISCRETION GARRETT AS
VICE-MAYOR.
>> , NO I THINK IT IS GOOD YOU
DO IT THERE.
>> BOB RUN THIS PART OF THE
HEARING THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
>> GO FOR IT BOB!
>> STAFF, WOULD YOU GIVE US YOUR
REPORT ON THIS?
>> YES, GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF
THE COUNCIL, PLANNING
DEPARTMENT, DARCY HERE.
ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING WILL BE
A DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED TRUMARK
AT KASSIS PROJECT NO ACTION
TAKEN ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.
INTENT IS TO DISCUSS EXISTING
TREE ORDINANCE LANGUAGE TO THE
ORCHARDS OR EXISTING LANGUAGE
RELATED TO COMMERCIAL ORCHARDS
AND REVIEW PROPOSED LAND MIX USE
PREVIOUSLY WITH COUNCIL
DIRECTION.
IN JUNE OF 2018 COUNCIL HELD A
WORKSHOP, THIS IS A BACKGROUND
REFERBER, WHERE THEY SAW
PROPOSED LAND USE FOR KASSIS
PROJECT.
AS PART OF THAT DISCUSSION THE
OUTCOMES OF THAT IN TERMS OF
WHAT COUNCIL WANTED TO SEE ON
THE SITE WAS A DESIRE OF MIX OF
HOUSING TYPES, LARGER LOTS ALONG
THE RIVER, SMALL COMMERCIAL OR
OFFERS SPACE AND THE COUNCIL WAS
AMENABLE TO REMOVING 240
AVAILABLE AND LOW INCOME UNITS,
ABOUT 10 ACRES BASED UPON THE
QUALITY OF THE PROJECT.
ON THE SCREEN BEFORE YOU ON THE
RIGHT SIDE IS AN OVERVIEW OF
WHAT THE KASSIS SITE LOOKS LIKE
AS YOU CAN SEE.
WHILE IT IS VACANT IT HAS A
LARGE OLD COMMERCIAL ORCHARD ON
THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE
PROPERTY.
SO A BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THE
KASSIS PROJECT, 41 ACRES WITHIN
FOLSOM BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN
AND DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL MIXED
USE.
KNOWN AS AN OPPORTUNITY SITE
WITHIN THAT PLAN, WHAT THAT
MEANS IS THAT IT HAS BASED UPON
ITS LOCATION, IT HAS GOT THE
GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR NEW
DEVELOPMENT OR REDEVELOPMENT
WITHIN THE WESTERN BOUNDARY OF
THE CITY.
IT IS ALSO ENVISIVISIONED THAT E
SITE WOULD HAVE A MIX OF
RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL OR
OFFICE COMPONENT THAT
COMPLIMENTS NEIGHBORING
RESIDENTS.
ADDITIONALLY IT IS STATED IN THE
SPECIFIC PLAN THAT THIS TYPE OF
DEVELOPMENT WOULD TAKE DIRECT
ACCESS TO FOLSOM AND FOLSOM
BOULEVARD AND PROXIMITY TO LIGHT
RAIL STATION WAS A BENEFIT.
BEFORE YOU ON THE SCREEN AND
WALK YOU THROUGH IT AND
APOLOGIZE IF THE QUALITY IS NOT
THAT GREAT.
HARD TO GET AN ODD SHAPE ON A
SLIDE LIKE THIS.
THIS IS THE CURRENT PROPOSED
TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP AND
THE LAYOUT.
LOOKING AT PROPOSAL OF 245
UNITS.
HOUSING TYPE MIX AS YOU CAN SEE
ALONG FOLSOM BOULEVARD TO BOTTOM
OF YOUR SCREEN, DARKER BROWNISH
COLOR, TOWNHOME LOTS ROUGHLY
ABOUT 1500 SCARE FEET IN SIZE.
ATTACHED UNITS AND LATER ON IN
THE PRESENTATION YOU WILL SEE
ELEVATIONS OF WHAT THOSE MIGHT
LOOK LIKE.
MOVING UP THE SCREEN IN THAT
YELLOWISH ORANGE COLOR, THAT
SOUR DETAMPED CLUSTER LOTS.
THOSE ARE -- DETACHED CLUSTER
LOTS.
THOSE ARE DETACHED FOUR-PACK
TYPE UNITS 2900 SQUARE FEET.
DETENTION BASIN, PARK SITE IN
THERE, ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE OF
THE PROPERTY, ALONG THE LEFT
SIDE OF THE IMAGE THAT YOU SEE
ON THE SCREEN.
THOSE ARE WHAT ARE BEING
REFERRED TO AS STATE RESIDENTIAL
LOTS AND AVERAGE OF 10,800
SQUARE FOOT LOTS AND THOSE RUN
ALONG THE RIVER AND TO THE EAST
THAT LIGHT YELLOW COLOR SMALL
VILL LOTS, DETACHED SINGLE
FAMILY LOTS.
THROUGHOUT THE SUBDIVISION AS
YOU SAW BEFORE IN TERMS OF
ACCESS TO THE SITE, ACCESS IS
OFF OF FOSSUM BOULEVARD AND
ACCESS TO THE EAST AND TO THE
EXISTING RESIDENTIAL
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE OVER
THERE, ON THE NEXT SLIDE GO INTO
MORE DETAIL IN TERMS OF PARKS
AND OTHER THINGS.
AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS
PARTICULAR LAYOUT, WHAT YOU DO
SEE IS A MIX OF HOUSING TYPES,
HIGHER DENSITY ALONG FOLSOM
BOULEVARD, LESS MOVE FURTHER
NORTH ON THE PROJECT SITE,
LARGER LOTS ALONG THE RIVER.
WHAT YOU DON'T SEE IS YOU DON'T
SEE ANY SORT OF COMMERCIAL OR
OFFICE COMPONENT AS PART OF THIS
PROPOSAL.
THE APPLICANTS DID COMMISSION A
MARKET STUDY AND MARKET STUDY
INDICATED THAT COMMERCIAL OR
RETAIL JUST WAS NOT VIABLE AT
THIS SITE.
DUE TO SOME VACANCIES THAT WE
HAVE ALONG FOLSOM BOULEVARD IN
TERMS OF COMMERCIAL AREAS IT
WOULD NOT BE A SITE THAT COULD
SUPPORT SOME ADDITIONAL
COMMERCIAL.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF SOMEBODY
WANTS TO ANSWER THIS LATER, BUT
CAN SOMEBODY REMIND ME THE LAST
STUDY THAT WE HAD WAS
1.5 MILLION EXCESS SQUARE FEET
OF RETAIL SPACE ON FOLSOM
BOULEVARD?
DOES THAT SOUND RIGHT OR IS THAT
SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE CAN SPEAK
TO LATER.
>> WE CAN SPEAK TO IT LATER S
.5 MILLION SEEMS HIGH BUT WE CAN
PROBABLY TRACK DOWN THAT NUMBER.
>> OKAY.
>> NEXT SLIDE CAPTURE THE
OVERALL LANDSCAPE PLAN.
YOU CAN SEE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
SITE, 1.9-ACRE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK
AND JUST TO NOTE THE PROJECT
ITSELF DID NOT TRIGGER THE NEED
FOR A PARK, BUT AFTER
DISCUSSIONS WITH CRPD, THE
APPLICANT AND STAFF AND CRPD
FELT THAT THIS WAS A GOOD
AMENTIES TO ADD INTO THE
PROJECT.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARE
VARIOUS PASS SAY YESES THAT
CONNECT FROM PARK SITE TO WEST
AND EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS THERE
IS AN EXISTING EASEMENT
PRESERVED FOR FUTURE USE TO THE
WEST 
THAT RUNS ALONG THE BACK OF THE
LOTS, PROVIDE A RIVER VIEW, AND
DIFFERENT AREAS THAT PEOPLE CAN
WALK OVER THAT TRAIL TO LOOK AT
THE RIVER.
ALSO A TRAIL CONNECTION ROD
BEAUDRY A PEDESTRIAN EASEMENT
THAT RUNS ALONG BACK OF SOME OF
THE RESIDENTIAL LOTS AS WELL.
LANDSCAPING INTERNAL ALONG
STREET FRONTAGES AND LOTS AND
ALONG FOLSOM BOULEVARD.
IN TERMS OF THE HOME ELEVATIONS
THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED, UNLIKE
WHAT WE SEE WITH OUR SUBDIVISION
MAPS LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD,
COME THROUGH WITH DESIGN REVIEW
FOR MASTER HOME PLANS.
TRUMARK SEEK APPROVAL FOR ALL OF
THE ELEVATIONS AT THIS TIME.
WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN
BEFORE STU CURRENTLY WHAT IS
BEING PROPOSED.
MAY BE SOME ADDITIONAL CHANGES
TO THAT TOP PART OF THE SCREEN
PROPOSED ATTACHED TOWNHOMES
ALONG FOLSOM BOULEVARD.
AND ON THE BOTTOM DETACHED
CLUSTER LOTS.
ON THE NEXT SCREEN AT THE TOP,
SMALL LOT VILLAs AND BOTTOM
CURRENTLY PROPOSED FOR ESTATE
RESIDENTIAL.
KEEPING IN MIND MIDDLEWAY
THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU SEE ON THE
SCREEN, THAT COULD CHANGE, THESE
ELEVATIONS ARE NOT SET IN STONE,
THIS IS REALLY TO GIVE COUNCIL
AN IDEA OF THE DIFFERENT HOUSING
TYPES THAT WOULD BE BUILT IN
HERE.
I WILL TURN MY PRESENTATION OVER
TO AL DIRT STRICKER, PUBLIC
WORKS DIRECTOR TO TALK ABOUT THE
TREE ORDINANCE.
>> GOOD EVENING MEMBERS OF THE
COUNCIL, ALBERT STRIKER WITH
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND
ALONG WITH THIS PROPERTY, THE
APPLICANT PROPOSES TO REMOVE
APPROXIMATELY 300 TREES LARGELY
CONSISTING OF FORMER ORCHARD
THAT WAS WALNUTS AND PECANS AND
REPLACE TENG TREES WITH 500 NEW
TREES.
SO THIS ACTION PROMPTED US TO
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
EXISTING TREE ORDINANCE.
AND SO I WILL GIVE YOU A SUMMARY
OF THE WORK AND DIRECTION THAT
COUNCIL HAS PROVIDED STAFF TO
DATE.
AND ALSO PROVIDED PROPOSED
AMENDMENT FOR COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION.
THIS CLICKER IS NOT WORKING IF
YOU WOULDN'T MIND.
THANK YOU.
CHAPTER 19 OF TREE PRESERVATION
CODE ADOPTED FROM COUNTY UPON
CITY AND CORPORATION AND IN 2017
COUNCIL DIRECTED TAFFE TO MAKE
VARIOUS REVISIONS TO PROVIDE
ADDED PROTECTION FOR THE CITY'S
URBAN FOREST.
AMONG THOSE INCLUDED PROTECTION
FR RESIDENTIAL TREES LARGER
THAN 24-INCHES, PROTECTING
COMMERCIAL TREES LARGER THAN
12-INCHES DIAMETER, CRITERIA
THAT ALLOW REMOVAL OF PROTECTED
TREES UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS
AND IN THOSE CASES MITIGATION IS
REQUIRED AND THERE ARE A COUPLE
OF OPTIONS FOR MITIGATION ONE OF
THOSE IS A MITIGATION OF $165
PER INCH OF TREE THAT IS REMOVED
FOR EXAMPLE, FOR A 12-INCH DIE
DIAMETER TREE, TIMES 165, THAT
WOULD BE 1890 OR MITIGATE BY
REPLACING WITH 12 TREES.
MITIGATION IN CONTRAST FOR DEAD,
DISEASED, DYING OR HAZARDOUS
TREES IS TREE PER TREE.
IF YOU REMOVE ONE BIG TREE THAT
IS DEAD, DISEASED OR DYING OR
HAZARD YOU CAN REPLACE IT WITH
ONE SMALLER TREE.
ORDINANCE AND PRACTICE HAS BEEN
QUITE EFFECTIVE.
THAT IS IN ADDING ADDITIONAL
PROTECTION TO THE CITY'S URBAN
FOREST.
BUT WE HAVE COME ACROSS ON THE
KASSIS PROPERTY WITH THE REMOVAL
OF THE 300 TREES THAT RESULTS IN
MITIGATION OF OVER $600,000
WOULD BE THE COST FOR THEM TO
MITIGATE THE ON-SITE TREES.
WE HAVE LOOKED INTO OPTIONS AND
THE OPTION WE WOULD PROPOSE FOR
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION IS THAT
THE ORDINANCE COULD PROVIDE A
DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT REGULATIONS
IN THE CASE OF EXISTING OR
CURRENT ORCHARDS.
AND STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND THE
FOLLOWING ADDITION TO THE
LANGUAGE THAT WOULD ADDRESS BOTH
THE KASSIS PROPERTY AS FORMER
ORCHARD AND ALSO AS AN EXISTING
ORCHARD FOR AN EXISTING
SOIL-BORNE PROPERTY IS AN
EXISTING ORCHARD AFFECTED BY
THIS.
MODIFY SUBSECTION 4 TO CODE,
SECTION 1912, 120 E WITH THE
FOLLOWING LANGUAGE SAY THAT
TREES PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL ARE
OR WERE PART OF COMMERCIAL
ORCHARD FOR PURPOSES OF THIS
SUBSECTION, COMMERCIAL ARE A
CHARD SHALL MEAN FRUIT OR
NUT-PRODUCING TREES PLANTED AND
GROWN PROPER COMMERCIAL
PRODUCTION.
EACH REMOVED TREE SHALL BE
REPLACED WITH AT LEAST ONE TREE.
>> ASSUMING THAT WE WILL NOT BE
PUTTING MORE ORCHARD IN.
I THINK IT WOULD BE --
WE HAVE SO MANY TREES THROUGH
RANCHO CORDOVA NOW, THAT NOT
BEING HARVESTED, THEY JUST SEE
THEM AND THEY GO ON THE GROUND
AND STAY THERE UNTIL THE NEXT
YEAR AND THEN THEY HAVE MORE
AGAIN.
MUCH MORE FRUITFUL, ASK US THE
PUN, BUT TO HAVE THE TREES WHICH
ARE VERY HELPFUL TO TO GIVE US
THE SHADE WE ARE LOOKING FOR
INTO THE DESIGN THAT THEY ARE
PUTTING INTO THESE HOMES.
>> THANK YOU.
WITH THAT HAND IT BACK TO DARCY.
>> THANK YOU ALBERT.
IN SUMMARY, WHAT STAFF IS
SEEKING TONIGHT FROM COUNCIL IS
TO PROVIDE STAFF WITH ADDITIONAL
FEEDBACK ON THE PROPOSED LAND
USE MIX.
CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF
PREPARING THE ENVIRONMENTAL
DOCUMENT FOR THIS PARTICULAR
PROJECT SO IF THERE IS SOME
DIRECTION OR FEEDBACK ON
PROPOSED CHANGES, WE WOULD LIKE
TO HEAR THAT NOW SO IT CAN BE
FOLDED INTO PROCESS MOVING
FORWARD AND PROVIDE DIRECTION ON
AMENDMENTS PRESENTED ON THE TREE
ORDINANCE THIS EVENING.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.
REPRESENTATIVES FROM TRUE MARK
ARE ON THE PHONE THAT CAN ANSWER
COUNCIL'S QUESTIONS.
>> LINDA OR DONALD, GARRETT?
>> NO, I'M GOOD.
>> AND I'M GOOD, TOO, BOB.
I REALLY I'M VERY SUPPORTIVE OF
THE PROJECT.
IT IS GOING TO REPRESENT, GOING
TO REPRESENT THIS PART OF TOWN
VERY WELL AND VERY HANDSOMELY.
IT PROVIDES --
IT PROVIDES A TREMENDOUS MIX OF
TYPES.
IT DOES HAVE TRANSIT SUPPORTED
HOUSING ALONG THE BOULEVARD.
IT GIVES US ESTATE LOTS ON OUR
ONLY STRETCH OF RIVERFRONT
PROPERTY.
AND I LOVE, YOU KNOW,
PERSONALLY, BECAUSE I HAVE LIVED
IN THAT AREA FOR SO LONG AND
HELPS TO PRESERVE ACCESS FOR OFF
ROAD TRAIL, TO CONNECT ON THE
PARKWAY, I TRULY APPRECIATE THE
NEXT CONNECTION TO BOTH THE WEST
AND THE EAST.
AND I HAD ONE SUGGESTION, WHEN I
LOOK AT THE RETENTION BASIN NEXT
TO THE (INAUDIBLE) PARK, THERE
WAS SOME INDICATIONS TO BE GIVEN
THAT THEY WOULD DO A FENCE
AROUND THIS BASIN, BUT I
SUGGESTED TO ONE OF THEM, THAT
THEY GO AND LOOK AT A PARK IN
STONE CREEK THAT IS BETWEEN
(INAUDIBLE) ZINFANDEL COMMONLY
CALLED NO NAME PARK BECAUSE IT
HAS NO NAME.
BUT IT IS A DETENTION BASIN,
ADJACENT TO THE DRAINAGE CHANNEL
THAT RUNS ALL THE WAY THROUGH
STONE CREEK.
AND IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY
(INAUDIBLE) AND IT DOES HAVE A
COUPLE OF PICNIC TABLES.
THERE IS A PATHWAY THROUGH IT
AND GOT SOME TREES.
DELINEATION THAT ALBERT CAN
DESCRIBE, I DON'T NEED HIM TO,
BUT HE CAN DESCRIBE DELINEATION
BETWEEN WHERE THE CITY'S
RESPONSIBILITY FOR DRAINAGE
CHANNEL ENDS AND THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR PARK PROPERTY
TAKES OVER.
WE ADOPTED THAT PROBABLY IT
COULD HAVE BEEN EIGHT OR TEN
YEARS AGO.
TO ME THIS IS JUST A SIMILAR
SITUATION WHERE THIS DETENTION
BASIN CAN BECOME A PART OF THE
ACTIVE PARK AND IN THE
(INAUDIBLE) MONTHS IT WILL SERVE
AS OVERLAND RELIEF AND
(INAUDIBLE) AND THEN THE WATER
WILL GO AWAY AND THEY WILL HAVE
EXTRA PARKLAND.
I WOULD DEFINITELY SUGGEST THAT
IT NOT BE FENCED OFF.
THAT IS REALLY MY ONLY COMMENT
ABOUT THIS.
OTHERWISE, YOU KNOW, I'M
PROBABLY ONE OF THE OUTLIERS WHO
WOULD CHOOSE SOME DIFFERENT
ARCHITECTURE, I DEFINITELY SEE
THAT IN THE ARCHITECTURE THAT
THEY HAVE PROPOSED THAT THERE IS
ELEMENTS, NUMBER ONE,
BEAUTIFULLY DETAILED AND NUMBER
TWO, ELEMENTS OF ALL OF THE
THINGS THAT SEEM TO BE POPULAR
WITH HOME BUYERS TODAY.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE A WINNING
PROJECT.
SO AS I SAID, MY ONLY COMMENT
WOULD BE LET'S NOT (INAUDIBLE)
DETENTION BASIN, LET'S MAKE IT A
PART OF THE PARK.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU LINDA.
GARRETT, DO YOU HAVE ANY
SUGGESTIONS?
>> I JUST TOOK A PEEK ON THE
PROJECT ITSELF P I LIKE PRETTY
MUCH EVERY PART ABOUT IT.
WOULD LIKE TO SEAT GO FORTH.
 TO SEE IT GO FORTH.
>> GOOD.
RECOMMENDATIONS RECEIVE UPDATE
ON THE TRUE MARK AND KASSIS
PROJECT NO ACTION TAKEN.
THANKS FOR INFORMATION AND FOR
THE --
AND ALBERT, THANK YOU.
SO WITH THAT, I THINK WE GO ONTO
NEXT ITEM.
12.2.
READ THAT, PLEASE, CITY CLERK?
>> YES.
LET'S GET THE MAYOR BACK IN THE
ROOM.
>> WITH ITEM 12.2, AS THE MAYOR
IS REJOINING US, THE SUBJECT FOR
THAT IS MASTER LICENSE AND
ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT FOR
DEPLOYMENT OF A CITY WIDE
FIBEROPTIC NETWORK WITH SIFI
NETWORKS RANCHO CORDOVA LLC.
>> THANKS.
>> ON 12.2.
ALBERT.
GO AHEAD.
>> THANK YOU.
GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL
MEMBERS, ALBERT STRIKER WITH THE
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT AND THIS
EVENING, I WILL PRESENT
INFORMATION AND CONSIDERATION
MASTER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR
DEPLOYMENT OF THE CITY WIDE
FIBEROPTIC NETWORK.
GOAL FORCE THE EVENING WILL BE
TO INFORM THE COUNCIL OF
OPPORTUNITIES OPPORTUNITIES
PROPOSED BY SIFI AND OBLIGATIONS
TO BE CARRIED OUT BY THE CITY
AND REQUEST COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION TO AUTHORIZE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT
WITH SIFI FOR INSTALLATION OF
CITY-WIDE FIBEROPTIC NETWORK.
SO KEY SIFI PROPOSAL AND
OBLIGATIONS IS SIFI WOULD
INSTALL CITY-WIDE GIGABYTE SPEED
INTERNET NETWORK CONNECTED TO
EVERY RESIDENCE, BUSINESS AND
INSTITUTION WITHIN THE CITY OF
RANCHO CORDOVA INSTALLATION
WOULD BE VIA MICRO TRENCH
TECHNOLOGY.
2-INCH WIDE TRENCH BY 12-INCHES
DEEP.
THEY WOULD BE INSTALLING THE
BRAINS OF THE NETWORK, HELD
WITHIN 3 OR 12-FOOT WIDE BY
30-FOOT LONG SHELTERS, PLUS A
FEW DOZEN CABINETS AROUND THE
CITY.
THE COMPLETED INFRASTRUCTURE
WOULD BE LEASED TO INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THE
INFRASTRUCTURE WOULD ON AN
ONGOING BASIS, BE MAINTAINED BY
SIFI BUT NOT AN ISP.
SO THEY WOULD BE LEASING THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE OUT TO INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDERS.
THERE WOULD ALSO BE A FUTURE
SMART CITY AGREEMENT BETWEEN
SIFI AND RANCHO CORDOVA.
THAT WOULD PROVIDE AMONGST OTHER
THINGS FOR FIBEROPTIC CONNECTION
BETWEEN VARIOUS OF THE CITY'S
BUILDINGS AND POTENTIALLY
INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL.
COMPLETE BUILD-OUT IS WITHIN
FIVE YEARS OF CONTRACT EXCLUSION
PER THE AGREEMENT AND BREAKING
GROUND WOULD BE WITHIN
APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS OF THE
EXCLUSION OF THE AGREEMENT.
SIFI REQUESTED THAT PAVEMENT
LIGHT PERFORMANCE WARRANTY BE
REDUCED TO 10 YEARS, THAT WOULD
REQUIRE FUTURE CODE AMENDMENT.
IN THE CURRENT AGREEMENT IT
REQUIRES THAT WARRANTY BE IN
EFFECT UNTIL THE WIDTH OF THE
ROADWAY RECEIVES A STRUCTURAL
OVERLAY, TYPICALLY CONSIDERED 1
INCH ASPHALT CONCRETE OVERLAY
OVER THE ROADWAY.
REQUESTED TO REDUCE IT TO 10
YEARS AND BASED ON THE SIZE OF
THE TRENCH WE ANTICIPATE THAT
THOSE 10 YEARS WOULD BE
SUFFICIENT TO COVER ANTICIPATED
DEFECTS IN THE TRENCH RISK IS
RELATIVELY LOW.
>> CITY-WIDE EVERY RESIDENCE AND
EVERY BUSINESS I THINK YOU HEARD
YOU SAY THAT.
>> CORRECT.
>> CLARIFY THAT FOR ANYBODY
WATCHING AND LISTENING TO THIS.
>> THERE ARE STIPULATIONS IN THE
AGREEMENT THAT THEY DON'T COVER
A PARTICULAR RESIDENCE OR
BUSINESS OR INSTITUTION.
THOSE CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE IF
THAT LOCATION DOES NOT DESIRE TO
BE CONNECTED TO THE SERVICE AND
ALSO IF THE COST IS FOUND TO BE
PROHIBITIVE FOR SIFI.
HOWEVER BASED ON CONVERSATIONS
THUS FAR, NO SIGNIFICANT AREAS
OF RANCHO CORDOVA THAT WOULD BE
PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE.
>> I WOULD HATE TO SEE THEM, FOR
EXAMPLE, AVOID THE LOWER INCOME
AREAS, PERHAPS RANCHO CORDOVA.
SAYING THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH
INCOME POTENTIAL THERE, IF THEY
WERE DOING THE REST OF RANCHO
CORDOVA.
>> THAT WAS A SIGNIFICANT
CONCERN OF STAFF AS WELL AS WE
WERE NEGOTIATING THE AGREEMENT
WITH SIFI.
THEY ASSURED US THAT BASED ON
THE INFORMATION THEY HAVE THIS
SHOULD NOT AFFECT MAJOR
NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEY ARE NOT
AWARE AT THIS TIME BASED ON THE
PRELIMINARY EVALUATION.
OTHER THAN PARTICULAR FLUTES
WOULD NOT RECEIVE SERVICE
HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT KNOW FOR
SURE UNTIL THEY DO DETAILED
ENGINEERING.
BASED ON WHAT THEY KNOW SO FAR I
SHARE THAT CONCERN.
THEY HAVE TOLD US THAT THIS WILL
NOT AFFECT MAJOR NEIGHBORHOODS.
PHOTOS, MICRO TRENCHING IS
2-INCHE WIDE AND 12-INCHES
DEEP, INSTALLED ESSENTIALLY WITH
A LARGE SAW THAT MOVES DOWN THE
ROAD.
PREFERRED LOCATION IS
IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE LIP
OF GUTTER.
FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BEHIND BY
THE INSTALL FIBEROPTIC CONDUIT
AND CABLE BEHIND THE TRENCH AND
THEY FILL IT WITH GROUT A GROUT
BACKFILL.
THIS IS A CLOSE-UP ON THE RIGHT
SIDE OF THE PHOTO, IT IS THE LIP
OF GUTTER FOR CONCRETE GUTTER
PAN, ADJACENT TO THAT, THAT IS
2-INCH WIDE TRENCH AND TO THE
LEFT EXISTING ASPHALT CONCRETE
OF THE ROADWAY.
>> I DID NOT SEE IN IT THE
PRESENTATION.
WHAT DOES A CONNECTION LOOK
LIKE?
CONNECT TO HOUSE IN THE
BACKGROUND?
HOW DO THEY DO THAT?
>> THE WAY THAT THEY DO THEIR
INSTALLATION WILL RUN A LEADER
UP TO THE PROPERTY LINE.
SO CONFORMANCE BETWEEN RIGHT OF
WAY AND PROPERTY LINE AND IF THE
HOME OWNER ELECTS TO RECEIVE
THAT SERVICE, THEN THEY WOULD BE
CONTRACTING WITH AN INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDER AND THAT
INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER WOULD
RUN THE EX-CONNECTION FROM THE
PROPERTY LINE, RIGHT OF WAY
INTERFACE OUT TO THEIR CABLE BOX
AND INTO THEIR HOME.
>> THIS COMPANY SIFI WILL PUT
THESE IN ALL OF OUR STREETS AND
THEN INDIVIDUALS WHO OWN THE
PROPERTY OR THE BUSINESS OR THE
HOME ARE GOING TO PAY TO MAKE
CONNECTIONS TO THAT FIBER IN THE
STREET?
>> IT WOULD BE INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDER WOULD BE THE --
WOULD BE THROUGH EITHER AN AD OR
PROMOTION, HOME OWNER WOULD FIND
OUT ABOUT IT, JUST LIKE I DID AT
MY HOUSE IN RANCHO CORDOVA,
RESEARCHED DIFFERENT INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDERS, IDENTIFIED
ONE THAT I THOUGHT WAS SUITABLE
AND THEY, THEIR NETWORK WAS
STUBBED TO MY PROPERTY LINE AND
DID NOT RUN ALL THE WAY TO MY
HOUSE IN CAPITOL VILLAGE.
I CALLED THEM UP, THEY HAD TO
COME OUT AND RAN IT THE REST OF
THE WAY TO MY HOUSE.
>> OKAY.
>> IT WOULD DEPEND ON THE
INTERNET SERVICE AND SERVICE
PROVIDER.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT SCOTT
FROM SIFI IS ONLINE WITH ZOOM,
WITH US THIS EVENING AND WOULD
BE AVAILABLE TO DISCUSS ANY
DETAILED QUESTIONS AND WOULD
PROBABLY GIVE YOU MORE
INFORMATION ON DETAILS LIKE THAT
THAN I CAN.
>> QUESTION WITH THE MICRO
TRENCHING.
YOU HAVE TO GO FROM THIS
TRENCHING TO INDIVIDUAL HOMES IF
IT IS REQUESTED AND GOING TO THE
BUSINESSES, SO ALL WE ARE DOING
IS PUTTING IN THIS TRENCHRIGHT
NOW, THE 2-INCH TRENCH AND HOW
DEEP?
ABOUT 2-INCHES IN.
>> ABOUT 2-INCHES WIDE AND
12-INCHES DEEP.
>> OKAY.
>> I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE
DONE WHEN THEY WERE PUTTING IN
THE FIBEROPTIC IN SOME OF THE
THINGS WITH THE PHONE COMPANY.
I WORKED FOR THEM.
THIS LOOKED FAMILIAR.
>> THERE WOULD BE SMALLER
CABINETS SIMILAR TO WHAT A PHONE
COMPANY INSTALLS FEW DOZEN OF
THOSE SURROUNDING THE CITY, FROM
THE TRENCH IN ROAD, WOULD BE A
LEADER THAT RUNS OUT TOWARDS THE
PROPERTY, AVAILABLE FOR INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDER TO LATER
CONNECT UP TO THE HOME.
AND IN ADDITION, THERE WOULD BE
THREE LARGER SHELTERS, THESE ARE
ABOUT 12 FEET WIDE, ABOUT
30 FEET LONG AND ABOUT 11 FEET
TALL.
THERE WOULD BE THREE OF THESE
LOCATED AROUND THE CITY.
THE SIFI HAS REQUESTED THE
CITY'S ASSISTANCE IN IDENTIFYING
LOCATIONS, HOWEVER THE CITY IS
NOT REQUIRED TO FIND LOCATIONS
WE ARE PARTNERING HELPING THEM
TO LOOK FOR POTENTIAL LOCATIONS,
SIFI HAS QUESTIONED THE ABILITY
TO CONSIDER LOCATIONS ON CITY
HALL PROPERTY, BASED ON A
LARGE-SCALE VIEW OF CITY
PROPERTIES, WE HAVE NOT
IDENTIFIED ANY LOCATIONS ON CITY
HALL, ANY OF THE VARIOUS CITY
PROPERTIES THAT COULD BE
UTILIZED WITHOUT HAVING A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON ESTHETICS
OR SECURITY DEPENDING ON THE
LOCATION, WE HAVE COMMITTED TO
TAKING A CLOSER OF THE PROJECT.
>> THESE WOULD HAVE TO BE
ATTRACTIVE IN SOME WAY, NOT JUST
METAL BUILDINGS WITH EXPENSED
CONDUITS AND STUFF.
>> WE WOULD BE COORDINATED
CLOSELY WITH THE PLANNING
DEPARTMENT AND WITH SIFI TO 
ENSURE THEY ARE SHIELDS OTHER
OTHERWISE ESTHETICALLY A PART OF
THE ENVIRONMENT THEY ARE
INSTALLED IN DAVID, THE
DIMENSIONS THAT ALBERT DESCRIBED
10 BY 11 BY 30 IS BASICALLY IS
SAME SIZE AS THE VERY LARGE
REGIONAL TRANSIT TRANSFORMER
BOXES?
>> YES.
>> ALONG THE LIGHT RAIL?
>> THERE MIGHT BE SOME ALONG THE
LIGHT RAIL.
>> YES, SPRINKLED OUT SOMEWHERE.
IT WOULD BE AN INTRUSION IN
RESIDENTIAL, BUT YOU ARE RIGHT,
WE HAVE OTHER LOCATIONS.
CAN I ASK YOU MY QUESTION AGAIN
ABOUT THE QUESTION I ASKED YOU
THIS MORNING ABOUT -- I DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT.
THE STRENGTH OF THIS?
EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT 4G AND 5G
AND I AM SORRY I AM NOT INTO
THIS.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT A
GIGABIT IS.
>> THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM THE 5G
WHICH IS WIRELESS.
THIS IS INSTALLING FIBRE OPTIC
LINES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
THE TYPICAL HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND
THAT I HAVE AT MY HOUSE IS ABOUT
80-MEGABYTES IS WHAT I HAVE AT
MY HOUSE.
THIS IS 1,000-MEGABYTES OVER 10
TIMES FASTER THAN TYPICAL
HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND THAT MOST
RESIDENCES HAVE WITHIN THE CITY
OF RANCHO CORDOVA.
>> THIS IS LIKE THE SPEED OF
LIGHT.
THIS IS SO FAST THAT IT IS LIGHT
BRINGS ACROSS VERY THIN GLASS
FIBER.
THIS IS BRINGING AT THE SPEED OF
LIGHT.
THIS IS SO MUCH MORE SECURE AND
STABLE THAN WIRELESS SIGNALS
THAT IT IS UNHEARD OF.
TO HAVE THIS IN OUR CITY IS A
BLESSING.
I DON'T KNOW -- FIRST OF ALL,
THANK YOU FOR COMING IN TO
BUILD.
THE IT NERD OF THE GROUP AND
ONES A TECH COMPANY I AM TECH ID
THEY ARE COMING TO OUR CITY.
I AM EXCITED TO HAVE THIS
OPTION.
YOU WANT TO UPGRADE INTERNET TO
THIS FOR THREE TIMES THE SPEED
IF YOU NEED IT.
ALL OF THE NETFLIX MOVIES AND
ANYTHING INSTANT WHEN IT COMES
DOWN.
300, 400MGS ACROSS THE INTERNET.
>> IF I KNEW YOU WOULD HAVE THE
TECHNICAL ANSWER.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
IT MAKES ME WONDER IF WE
ACTUALLY HAVE ANY AREAS IN THE
CITY AT THIS POINT THAT DON'T
HAVE BROADBAND ACCESS.
HOPEFULLY THIS WOULD CURE THAT.
I FEEL SORRY FOR THE FACT THAT
PLACES UP THE VALLEY ALL HAVE TO
WORK ON JUST GETTING BROAD BAND
ACCESS.
AS WE ALL KNOW, THIS IS A MAJOR
HURDLE TO DISTANT LEARNING.
IF THEY DON'T HAVE DIALUP,
NOBODY CAN DO DISTANCE LEARNING.
DAVID, I AM THINKING THAT YOU
JUST DESCRIBED THE WAY IN WHICH
PEOPLE ACCESS THIS.
I AM REMINDED THAT PROBABLY 12
YEARS AGO WHEN AT&T CAME TO
STONE CREEK AND INSTALLED SMALL
VAULTS IN THE GROUND FOR AT&T
NETWORKS THAT THEN AN ARMY OF
AT&T SALES PEOPLE DESCENDED ON
THE COMMUNITY KNOCKING ON THE
DOORS TO SIGN EVERYBODY UP FOR
AT&T AS OPPOSED TO COMCAST.
I CAN ENVISION THIS WOULD HAPPEN
WITH THE ISPs THAT PURCHASE
RIGHTS TO THIS SYSTEM.
I DO BELIEVE IT IS A GOOD THING.
>> GO AHEAD.
>> I WOULD CLARIFY GIGABIT UP
AND DOWNLOAD SPEED WHICH IS
CRITICAL FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FOR
DATA INTENSIVE BUSINESS.
THE CITY HAS OBLIGATIONS
ACCORDING TO THE AGREEMENT.
THE CITY SHALL PROVIDE SINGLE
POINT OF CONTACT TO EXPEDITE
PERMITTING WHICH WOULD BE PAID
UP TO $90,000 PER YEAR FUNDED BY
SIFI TIME AND MATERIALSES.
CITY WILL ASSIST IN SITING THREE
SHELTERS.
THE LOCATION IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF SIFI TO FIND
THOSE.
CITY SHALL PROVIDE ONE YEAR
EXCLUSIVE FROM ENTERING SIMILAR
AGREEMENTS.
THIS DOESN'T STOP EXISTING
PROVIDERS WITHIN THE CITY OF
RANCHO CORDOVA TO CONTINUE WITH
REGULAR BUSINESS OR EXPAND
REGULAR BUSINESS.
HOWEVER, THE CITY WOULD AGREE
FOR ONE YEAR NOT TO ENTER INTO
AGREEMENT SIMILAR TO WHAT SIFI
AND STAFF DISCUSSED SO FAR.
THIS IS A 30 YEAR AGREEMENT WITH
TWO 30 YEAR EXTENSIONS.
THE ENTIRETY OF THE AGREEMENT IS
UP TO 90 YEARS.
BENEFITS TO THE CITY IS THE
GIGABITS SERVICE.
FURTHER ESTABLISHES RANCHO
CORDOVA AS TECHNOLOGICAL LEADER,
SOURCE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
HAVING HIGH-SPEED INTERNET IS
GREAT DRAW FOR BUSINESSES AND
EMPLOYEES TO ATTRACT GREAT
EMPLOYEES AND FOR RETENTION AND
THE SMART CITY AGREEMENT TO
PROVIDE HIGH-SPEED CONNECTION
BETWEEN VARIOUS BUILDINGS AND
INFRASTRUCTURE ARE BENEFITS.
THE RECOMMENDED MOTION THIS
EVENING WOULD BE THE STAFF
RECOMMENDS CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO
ENTER INTO THE AGREEMENT.
IF SO APPROVED BY COUNCIL NEXT
STEPS WOULD BE SIFI WOULD BREAK
GROUND IN TWO YEARS.
STAFF AND SIFI WOULD NEGOTIATE
THE SMART CITY AND THE
PERFORMANCE WARRANTY WHICH IS A
CODE AMENDMENT.
SCOTT BRADSHAW FROM SIFI IS ON
THE ZOOM CALL IF CITY COUNCIL
WOULD LIKE ANSWERS FROM SIFI.
>> GO AHEAD, LINDA.
>> SO THIS IS AN AGREEMENT WITH
THE CITY.
IS SIFI PROPOSING CONSIDERATION
FOR SERVICE PARTNERS SUCH AS
METRO FIRE AND THE PARK DIS
DISTRICT?
>> IS IT SCOTT?
>> THIS IS THE STEER ATTORNEY.
-- THE CITY ATTORNEY.
I WILL EXPAND FURTHER ON THE
ANSWER YOU GAVE ABOUT THE
SUBSTANTIAL ATTEMPTS DONE IN THE
COURSE OF NEGOTIATIONS TO MAKE
SURE THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES
ACCESS TO THESE SERVICES TO AS
MANY IF NOT ALL NEIGHBORHOODS AS
POSSIBLE.
IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN THE PLACE
WHERE WE DID THAT WORK IS
PRIMARY PREMISES WE WERE ABLE TO
GET A FEW STANDARDS IN THERE TO
FOCUS ON ONLY HAVING MAJOR COST
ISSUES AS OBSTACLES AND NOT
OTHER ISSUES THAT WOULD BE LESS
EQUITABLE.
ALSO, EXTENDING SERVICE TO A
NUMBER THAT WE HAVE IN THERE IS
95%.
WE WORKED HARD WITH OUR STAFF ON
THE EQUITY ISSUE FOR THE
EXTENSION OF THE SERVICE.
>> THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE ENTERTAINING THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE INVESTMENT
IN RANCHO CORDOVA.
I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS.
I MADE NOTES OF A FEW QUESTIONS
THAT YOU HAVE RAISED.
>> GO AHEAD.
>> I WILL DO MY BEST TO ADDRESS
THE QUESTIONS.%
ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE
MASTER AGREEMENT RATHER THAN
JUST THIS IS THAT SIFI IS
INVESTING IN THE CITY FOR A LONG
PERIOD OF TIME.
IT IS A MULTI MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS TO INVEST IN THE
COMMUNITY.
WE NEED A LONG TIME TO  ENSURE
THAT IT IS SUSTAINABLE.
IT IS A PRIVATE INVESTMENT
WITHOUT TAXPAYER DOLLARS TOWARDS
THE NETWORK CONSTRUCTION.
ACCESS TO THE ENTIRE CITY ALLOWS
THE LOW INCOME AREA TO FIX THIS
FOOTPRINT.
THAT IS ON EVERY SINGLE STREET
THROUGHOUT THE CITY PASSING
EVERY PARTICULAR BUILDING A
RESIDENCE, BUSINESS, CHURCH,
COMMUNITY CENTER.
WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS
ABILITY TO DO THAT.
SIFI WILL LOOK AT THIS FROM A
COSTING PERSPECTIVE.
OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE THE MOST
ADVANTAGEOUS NETWORK FOR THE
LEAST CAPITAL SPENT.
THE LESS WE HAVE TO CHARGE THE
WHOLESALE NETWORK FOR THE
SERVICES TO CONSTITUENTS OF THE
COMMUNITY.
WHEN YOU PUT IT INTO CONTEXT,
THE LOWER INCOME AREAS THEY ARE
SMALLER IN SIZE AND MORE
COMPACT.
OUT IN THE LARGE AFFLUENT HOMES.
FROM A DEVELOPER'S PERSPECTIVE
IT IS MORE EFFICIENT IN THE
LOWER INCOME AREAS WHERE IT
PASSES THREE HOMES AS COMPARED
TO ONE LARGE AFFLUENT HOMES.
IT LOOKS AT HOW MUCH IT COSTS IN
EACH COMMUNITY.
WHEN THE GROUND, WE WANT  TO 
ENSURE THAT WE ARE BUILDING THE
INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE RIGHT WAY.
WE HAVE HEARD IN THE PREVIOUS
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RESIDENTIAL
UNIT TO BE BUILT IN SELECTED
AREAS.
WE WANT TO BUILD THIS ONCE AND
BUILD IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.
AS WE GO THROUGH THE DETAILED
ENGINEERING TO LOOK AT THE
STREETS, THERE ARE THINGS THAT
WE ARE NOT AWARE OF FROM THE
CONSTRUCTION PERSPECTIVE.
WE ARE NOT ON THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT SIDE.
WHAT IS THE MOST ADVANTAGE
NETWORK AND THE 30, 40 PLAN, HOW
WILL YOU GROW AS THE COMMUNITY
TO CREATE SCHOOLS.
RESISIFI IS UNIQUE.
HUNDREDS OF FIBER STRANDS, EACH
ONE IS THE SIZE OF A HUMAN HAIR.
IT PASSES EVERY BUILDING AND
EVERY PIECE OF STREET FURNITURE.
FROM A CITY MUNI MUNICIPALIS
PERSPECTIVE IT CHANGES.
THIS IS VERY MUCH ABOUT
MUNICIPAL EFFICIENCY.
WHAT LOCATIONS CAN MUNICIPALITY
CONNECT TO CREATE A HIGHLY
EFFICIENT WAY TO OPERATE.
ALSO, CITY HALLS AND LIBRARY,
TRAFFIC CAMRALS, PUBLIC PARKS.
THESE ARE THE AREAS EAST AND
WEST COAST.
WE HAVE THE DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT IN PLACE TO TRIGGER A
NUMBER OF THINGS TO WORK ON AND
WE WILL HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS
WITH YOU.
CONSTRUCTION.
IT IS A BIG THING WHEN YOU
MENTION IN REGARDS TO THE HOME.
THAT IS THE QUESTION RAISED.
SIFI COVERED THAT ENTIRE COST.
IT WORKS FROM THE DATE UNTIL IT
GETS US TO THE FAST SPEED.
THE CONNECTION TO THE EQUIPMENT
IN THE FIELD SO THEN TAKING THAT
FIBER ALL THE WAY TO THE
RESIDENT TO THE TERMINAL TO THE
LOCATION WHERE WE HAND OFF TO
THE SERVICE PROVIDER WHICH IS
WHAT THE CUSTOMER SEES.
SIFI PAYS FOR IT, OWNS IT,
MAINTAINS IT, UPGRADES IT.
>> DAVID A QUESTION.
>> I THINK SCOTT JUST TOUCHED ON
THAT QUESTION.
I HAVE BEEN ASKED WHAT HAPPENS
WITH PRIVATE STREETS?
IT IS PERTINENT NOW BECAUSE IN
THE PAST IT HAS BEEN THE MOBILE
HOME PARKS THAT HAVE HAD PRIVATE
STREETS.
WE HAVEN'T HAD GATED
COMMUNITIES.
WE ARE NOW CONTEMPLATING
ADOPTING A COUPLE OF POTENTIALLY
GATED COMMUNITIES WHERE THE
STREETS WILL BE PRIVATE.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU COULD
RUN PAST THE STREET SIDE
CONNECTION UP TO THE PRIVATE
STREETS OR AM I GOING TOO FAR?
>> YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT.
RANCHO CORDOVA IS NO DIFFERENT
IN A COMMUNITY OF 155,000 BUT
OTHER COMMUNITIES.
THIS AGREEMENT UNDER YOUR
JURISDICTION HAS ACCESS TO THE
PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY ON THE
CITY-WIDE BASIS.
WE WILL HAVE APPROPRIATE PERMITS
FOR RIGHTS-OF-WAY.
WHEN WE GET TO PRIVATE STREETS
IT IS VERY MUCH LIKE MULTI
DWELLING UNITS.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A TEAM THAT WILL
BE IDENTIFYING THOSE ROADS AND
SECONDARY TEAM TO WORK TO GAIN
PRIVATE EASEMENT ACCESS TO THE
ROADS.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A TEAM THAT GOES
OUT TO SPEAK TO THE OWNER OF THE
ROAD OR BUILDING AND LOOKS TO
ENTER AN AGREEMENT TO BUILD TO
THOSE PEOPLE.
SI FI'S GOAL IS THE FOOTPRINT.
ONE OF THE BIG REASONS SIFI IS
TO  ENSURE WE CREATE A FINANCIAL
MODEL THAT ALSO WORKS TO CONNECT
SERVICE PROVIDERS.
THAT PROVIDES ON A CITY-WIDE
BASIS THAT IS EFFICIENT PROCESS
FOR THEM AS WELL.
>> DAVID, IF YOU THINK GOOD WHAT
SCOTT SAID ABOUT RUNNING BY CITY
STREET FURNITURE, CONNECTING
CITY INFRASTRUCTURE.
INSTEAD OF HAVING -- IF YOU
THINK ABOUT THIS FROM ATTRACTIVE
PERSPECTIVE THAT MEANS WE COULD
HAVE VERY ATTRACTIVE KIOSKS
THROUGHOUT TOWN WITH FIBRE OPTIC
MESSAGE BOARDS ON THEM.
INSTEAD OF A BIG UGLY SIGN WE
COULD HAVE LITTLE ROUND KIOSKS
IN SPECIFIC LOCATIONS THAT
BROADCAST INFORMATION TO
EVERYONE.
>> I THINK LINDA ENDORSED
DIGITAL SIGNS ALL OVER THE
PLACE.
>> COMMUNITY OUT REACH.
IF WE COME TOMORROW AND YOU ARE
GOING TO CATEGORIZE THE SERVICE
PROVIDERS.
YES, WE WANT TO BRING NEW
COMPETITION TO THE COMMUNITY,
BUT IT GOES TO THE POINT.
WE WILL WORK WITH YOU.
THIS IS WHERE THESE WONDERFUL
IDEAS COME OUT.
HOW DO YOU WANT TO COMMUNICATE
WITH THE COMMUNITY?
WHAT IS YOUR OUTREACH INITIATIVE
AND THINGS LIKE BILLBOARDS WHERE
YOU CAN SAY DON'T GO DOWN MAIN
STREET TODAY BECAUSE WE HAVE A
GREAT FESTIVAL GOING ON AND ZERO
PARKING.
SO IF THOSE IDEAS WILL DRIVE THE
MUNICIPAL ASPECT OF THIS.
THE MICRO DOCKS.
THE PICTURE WITH THE BUSINESS
CARD IS AN EXISTING FOOTPRINT
GIVES YOU AN IDEA WHAT IT
LOOKING LIKE.
THE WORLD HAS CHANGED IN FIBRE
OPTICS.
THERE IS AN EMPTY DOCK THAT GOES
THROUGH WHEN WE CONNECT THE
COMMUNITY SO THERE IS NO
DEGRADATION.
THAT IS NO WIDER THAN YOUR THUMB
NAILING.
THAT IS ON THE MAIN STREET.
THE SIDE TO THE HOMES,
BUSINESSES IS NO GREATER THAN
THREE EIGHTS WIDE.
THAT IS HOW SMALL IT IS IN
TODAY'S WORLD.
WE TAKE ONE OF THEM WHEN WE PULL
THE PERMITS IN THE AREA.
100,000 FEET OVER THE HOMES.
WE PLACE IT ON THE BACK SIDE OF
THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OUTSIDE EACH
PREMISE SO WE ARE ONLY PULLING
THE PERMIT ONCE.
WHEN THE RESIDENTIAL HOMEOWNER
REQUESTS SERVICE FROM THE ISP TO
ACCESS THE NETWORK.
WE CAN COME ALONG.
WE GPS THE INFORMATION AND MAKE
A SMALL HOLE AND TAKE THE THREE
EIGHT'S INCH DIAMETER TO THE
BUILDING.
THAT IS GIVING YOU AN IDEA THE
SCALE AND HOW THINGS CHANGE.
COMING BACK TO THE POINT WITH
REGARDS TO FUTURE AREAS.
THE WAY IT WORKS YOU CAN PROMOTE
AN AREA THAT YOU ARE WORKING TO
HAVE NEW RESIDENTS OR
BUSINESSES.
THAT EMPTY DOCKS WE PUT THE
GLASS IN WHEN THE AREA IS BEING
READY ON MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.
YOU CAN TAKE THAT IN THE GROUND,
PROMOTE THIS AREA.
AS SOON AS IT IS READY TO GO
HOME AND HOMES ARE BILL.
SIFI CAN TAKE THAT PAST THE NEW
PREMISES AND GO BLACK ALL THE
WAY THROUGH.
THOSE DAYS HAVE GONE REGARDS TO
HOW THIS CONSTRUCTION WORKS.
THE NEXT THAT IS BUILT BASED ON
SECURITY, DIVERSITY AND
REDUNDANCY.
THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IS SMART
CITY INFRASTRUCTURE SEE WIDE
BASIS ON THE ARCHITECTURE.
>> THANK YOU.
I HAVE QUESTIONS.
ONE.
WHAT CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY ARE
YOU WORKING WITH.
>> CITY OF FULLER TON.
>> MY WIFE WILL BE PLEASED.
THAT IS WHERE SHE WENT TO
COLLEGE.
THE OTHER THING.
HOW DOES THIS COMPARE, I GUESS
THE SERVICE LEADER IN TOWN RIGHT
NOW IS COME CAST AS FAR AS
SPEED.
I AM GETTING A GIGGA SECOND
DOWNLOAD.
I DON'T HAVE A MACHINE TO GO
THAT FAST.
WE WILL HAVE THOSE COMING IN THE
FUTURE.
HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO COMCAST
HIGH-SPEED RIGHT NOW?
>> STANDARD DAY ONE WHEN THE
SERVICE PROVIDER IN THE
COMMUNITY PROVIDES SERVICE, A
STANDARD IT WILL BE GIGABIT TO
THE HOME, 1,000 DOWNLOAD AND
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
NO A SYMMETRICAL.
MAYBE ONLY HAVE 20MG GOING BACK
UP AND THIS IS SYMMETRICAL.
SYMMETRICAL TO THE HOME AND
MULTI GAUGE IN THE BUSINESSES
AND A DIFFERENT DIE MENTION FOR
MUNICIPALITIES, SEPARATE
CONVERSATION.
>> THE OTHER THING TO SHARE FOR
COLLEAGUES SAKE IS AND I HAVE
HAD COMCAST A LONG TIME.
IN A LOT OF NEIGHBORHOODS
ESPECIALLY LINCOLN VILLAGE I
HAVE HAD THE COMCAST SERVICE
TRUCKS COME OUT AND DO WORK AND
TALK ABOUT HOW THEY SLICE HOUSE
TO HOUSE AND IT ISDEG GATED THE
SIGNAL TO ALL HOMES THEY DIDN'T
RUN THIS WHEN THEY FIRST DID IT.
WHEN YOU BRING THIS INTO THE
OLDER NEIGHBORHOODS IT WILL BE
THE SAME LEVEL OF SPEED AS WHAT
YOU CAN DO IN THE NEWER
NEIGHBORHOODS AND BUSINESS PARK?
>> YES, THE ACTUAL NETWORK IS 10
GIG READIER IT IS IN A POSITION
PEOPLE CAN UTILIZE.
BEST WAY IS THIS STARTS OFF WITH
1 GIGSEM MITT TREE CALLING
SERVICE TO SEE HOW THAT WORKS
OUT FOR THE COMMUNITY.
>> I WOULD SAY THAT A BUNCH OF
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS GETTING
SERVICE LIKE THAT IS WHAT CAN
ENSURE WE DO HAVE DISTANCE
LEARNING.
I WILL TELL YOU THERE ARE PLACES
WITH NO CELL SIGNALS OR
ANTIQUATED SIGNALS FROM OUR
PROVIDERS.
THIS IS GREAT.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
>> I WAS READING.
WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH
BEFORE REACHING TO THE
COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE THINGS WE LOOK FOR NOT
JUST DEMOGRAPHICS AND BACHELOR
DEGREES AND AGE AND POPULATION.
WE LOOK FOR COMMUNITIES THAT
INVEST IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
HAS THE CITY REINVESTED BACK TO
THE COMMUNITY AND THE OUTREACH
PROGRAMS.
I WAS READING ABOUT I THINK TWO
YEARS AGO WHEN YOU WERE DOING
THE AIRSHOW.
IT WAS TWO WEEKS TO TICKET
SALES.
WHEN YOU TAKE THAT VISION, THIS
FIBER IS ON EVERY STREET.
THAT IS THE WAY TO LOOK AT IT.
WHERE CAN'T WE TAKE IT TO
BENEFIT THE CITY THAT BENEFITS
THE BASIS.
SCHOOLS, CITY STAFF.
IF WE TALK ABOUT THE CURRENT
CLIMATE WE LIVE IN TODAY, MYSELF
EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE CORRECT OR
HIGH CAPACITY ON THE
COMMUNITY-WIDE BASIS TO SUPPORT
KIDS AT HOME CONNECTING TO
SCHOOLS RUNNING MULTIPLE STREAMS
OF VIDEO SESSIONS, THINGS CRASH.
THAT IS WHERE THIS COMES IN.
YYOU HAVE A SECURE FIBER NETWORK
YOU CAN TAKE IT TO STUDENTS HOME
AND BACK TO SCHOOL.
YOU CAN TAKE THE FIBER TO CITY
STAFF HOMES WITH SECURE
CONNECTIONS BACK TO THE CITY.
THOSE ARE BENEFITS OF THE SMART
CITY ASPECT.
IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT
COMPETITION, IT IS THE ROOT
BASIS, BUILDING UNDER A
MUNICIPAL SMART CITY
INFRASTRUCTURE SO ALL RESIDENTS
BENEFIT FROM BRAND NEW
COMPETITION, HIGH-QUALITY SPEED,
ATTRACTING NEW COMPANIES, HOME
SECURITY BECAUSE SIFI WE CREATE
A MODEL.
SEPARATE THE INFRASTRUCTURE FROM
THE NETWORK OPERATOR FROM THE
SERVICE PROVIDER.
MEANING NO ONE STRANGLED HOLD ON
THE ENVIRONMENT.
COMCAST OPERATES THE NETWORK AND
DECIDE WHAT THEY PROVIDE YOU AND
WHAT PRICE.
YOU HAVE NOWHERE TO GO.
ON THE SCI-FI NETWORK IS A
MODEL.
IT KEEPS EVERYBODY HONEST.
KEEPS COMPETITION AND DRIVES
HEALTHY COMPETITION.
>> THANK YOU.
I FEEL LIKE YOU DID RESEARCH.
YOU DROPPED THE AIRSHOW AND MY
CONNECTIONS THERE BEYOND CITY
COUNCIL.
THAT WAS KIND OF FUNNY.
>> ALBERT, ANYTHING TO ADD?
>> NOTHING FURTHER TO ADD.
THANK YOU, MAYOR.
>> I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION ABOUT
THE STUBOUT, WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
YOU FULL THE FIBER DOWN THE
STREETS AND MAKE A TRENCH.
ARE YOU ALSO PULLING OUT THE
STUBS TO EACH PROPERTY THAT YOU
PASS?
ARE YOU GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE SIDEWALK OR IS THAT STUB
BURIED IN THE STREET WHERE IT IS
ACCESSED LATER ON?
>> THE STUB OUT GOES FROM THE
PAVEMENT TO THE SIDEWALK TO THE
BACK SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK AND
STOPS.
YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE PEN YOU
WRITE WITH ON PAPER THAT SMALL
TUBE SITS ON THE BACK SIDE OF
THE SIDEWALK INTO THE PRIVATE
AREA.
WE DON'T WANT TO DIG IN THE
SIDEWALK OR PAVEMENT.
>> THAT WILL BE DONE AT THE
FIRST PHASE, PULL THROUGH THE
STREET, TO THE SIDEWALK WITH THE
STUBOUT AND CONTINUE WITH EVERY
PROPERTY THAT WAY?
>> CORRECT.
WOULD IT BE NOW OR IN 25 YEARS
FROM NOW PEOPLE HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE REMOVED.
>> WILL YOU CONTACT THE
NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS OR THE
PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS WITH
MULTIPLE RESIDENCES ON THE
PARCEL TO DO STUBOUTS FOR ALL OF
THEM?
>> YES, ONCE WE COMMENCE
ENGINEERING, SUBJECT TO YOUR
APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT, YOUR
BLESSING, THAT CHANGES A NUMBER
OF THINGS AS WELL AS WORKING
WITH CITY STAFF.
WE WILL BE CONTACTING AND
IDENTIFYING THOSE PRIVATE ROLES,
SPEAKING WITH THE HOAs TO GET
AHEAD OF THE CURVE.
>> OKAY.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE QUESTIONS ON
THIS ITEM?
I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM.
I SEE ONE IN THE PUBLIC.
WE WILL MAKE ROOM FOR YOU THERE
AT THE PODIUM.
WELCOME, DARRELL.
>> VINEYARD'S NEIGHBORHOOD.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME.
THE DISTRIBUTION BOXES, CABINETS
SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE CITY ARE
THOSE GOING TO END UP ON PRIVATE
PROPERTIES, IF SO HOW IS THAT
PROPERTY OBTAINED?
>> I WILL START AT-LARGE
SCALING.
MOST OF THOSE WOULD BE LOCATED
WITHIN THE PUBLIC UTILITY
EASEMENT, THE EXISTING EASEMENT
ACROSS USUALLY THE OUTSIDES OF
PRIVATE PROPERTY TO ALLOW
COMMUNICATION FACILITIES.
THAT IS THE MAJORITY.
I WILL DEFER TO MR. BRADSHAW FOR
DETAILS.
>> EXACTLY.
WE ARE LOOKING AT APPROXIMATELY
35 OF THEM.
THE CABINETS FROM OUR
PERSPECTIVE AND YOURS TO POWER
CONNECTION.
IF NOT THE CASE OUTSIDE
SOMEONE'S WINDOW.
THE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE WHAT WE
ARE DOING THEY ARE NOT GOING TO
SIGN UP FOR SERVICE.
>> CAN I FOLLOW UP AND ASK WHAT
I THINK DARRELL WAS TRYING TO
GET AT, AND THIS IS A QUESTION
FOR ALBERT.
WOULD THERE BE SITUATIONS WHERE
WE WOULD HAVE TO ASSIST THIS
PROVIDER  IN?
>> EXTREMELY UNLIKELY.
THE PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT.
>> THAT IS WHAT HE WAS GETTING
AT.
>> EXTREMELY UNLIKELY IMMINENT
DOMAIN WOULD BE REQUIRED.
MOST LIKELY SIFI WOULD IDENTIFY
LOCATIONS ON SIDE YARDS WHERE
THE FRONT OF THE HOME IS NOT
LOOKING OUT AT THEM.
IN RELATIVELY LOW VISIBILITY
AREAS.
>> HOW BIG ARE THE CABINETS?
>> I WILL DEFER TO MR. BRADSHAW.
ABOUT THE SIZE OF TYPICAL
COMMUNICATIONS CABINETS AROUND
THE CITY.
>> FOUR FEET HI, THREE FEET HIGH
AND TWO FEET DEEP.
IT IS A SMALL NATURE.
>> OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?
>> ARE WE READY FOR THE MOTION.
>> I THINK WE ARE.
>> I WILL MOVE THAT WE ADOPT THE
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT
WITH SIFI NETWORKS FOR THE
INSTALLATION OF CITY-WIDE FIBRE
OPTIC NETWORK.
>> IS THERE A SECOND.
>> SECOND.
>> SECOND BY TERRY.
ROLL CALL.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER BUDGE.
>> YES.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER TERRY.
 >>  AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MCGARVEY
STEPPED OUT.
VICE MAYOR GATEWOOD.
>> AYE.
>> MAYOR SANDER.
>> AYE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> WELCOME TO THE CITY.
>> MR. MAYOR, I WILL MAKE A
COMMENT HERE.
 IT WAS ON APRIL 27TH WHEN
MR. BRADSHAW CONTACTED THE CITY
ASKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THE
POSSIBILITY OF PUTTING THIS
TECHNOLOGY IN THE CITY, AND WE
AND I AM SO PROUD OF OUR STAFF
AND THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE TO
SEE US IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS
WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT FOR
SOMETHING THAT WILL TRULY PUT US
ON THE MAP, TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IN
THE REGION THE ONLY OTHER CITY
THAT IS PURSUING THIS KIND OF
TECHNOLOGY NOT WITH SIFI BUT
ANOTHER COMPANY IS CITY OF
DAVIS.
DON'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER CITY HAS
HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY.
THANK YOU FOR WORKING AND THANK
YOU, MR. BRADSHAW FOR YOUR
INTEREST IN OUR COMMUNITY.
IT IS EXCITING TO SEE THIS
FUTURETECHNOLOGY IN OUR CITY.
THESE WILL GO A LONG WAYS TO
MAKE US A CITY WITH THE GOAL
THAT WE HAVE HAD.
THANK YOU.
>> IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE.
THE SPEED YOU HAVE MOVED,
DYNAMIC AND CREATIVE AND
PLEASURABLE.
THE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND
EDUCATING HIMSELF ON THE MICRO
TRENCHING AND THE LARGER SCALE.
WE ARE EXCITED TO LOOK AT THE
FUTURE AHEAD WITH THE CITY.
>> ALL RIGHT.
VERY GOOD.
WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM
12.3.
IF THE CLERK WOULD READ THAT
ITEM PLEASE.
>> FISCAL YEAR 2020 THROUGH 2021
FINANCIAL UPDATE REPORTS.
>> THAT REQUIRES A BIG STAFF
REPORT.
>> GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.
BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO OUR
FINANCE DIRECTOR, I WANTED TO
MAKE A FEW COMMENTS.
THE CITY DOES A TWO YEAR BUDGET,
AND WE ARE IN THE SECOND YEAR OF
THE TWO YEAR BUDGET.
WHEN WE DISCUSSED THE BUDGET
ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND ESTABLISHED
THE BUDGET FOR 2021 FISCAL YEAR,
IT WAS A DIFFERENT WORLD.
WE HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF THINGS
HAPPEN OVER THE COURT OF THE
LAST FEW MONTHS, AND WE DID NOT
ANTICIPATE A CRISIS OF THE
MAGNITUDE OF THE PANDEMIC WE ARE
FACING.
THAT HAS AFFECTED OUR REVENUE
PRO GREEKSS AND SHORTFALL THAT
WE STILL FIND -- PROJECTIONS AND
REVENUE SHORT FALL THAT IS
DIFFICULT TO PROJECT.
THE ECONOMY IS IMPACTED BY THE
CRISIS.
WE ARE SEEING DECLINES THAT WE
WILL GO OVER.
IT IS DEFINITELY HARD TO
PREDICT.
AT THIS POINT WE ARE HERE TO
PRESENT SOME ADJUSTMENTS AND
EXPENDITURES, COST ADJUSTMENTS
THAT MAINLY MEANS PUTTING SOME
HIGH LEVEL WE WOULD PROBABLY PUT
A HIRING FREEZE AT THIS POINT,
NOT FILLING ANY VACANT POSITIONS
AND ALSO PUTTING SOME PROJECTS
-- DELAYING PROJECTS UNTIL WE
HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
ABOUT OUR BUDGET AND FINANCIAL
OUTLOOK.
THAT IS THE DISCUSSION WE WOULD
LIKE TO HAVE WITH YOU ANEN WITHD
WITH THAT I TURN IT OVER.
>> THANK YOU.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
DIRECTOR.
AN OVERVIEW OF THIS EVENING'S
PRESENTATION I WILL PROVIDE
HIGHLIGHTS OF KEY CITY REVENUES
AND THE IMPACT THAT WE
ANTICIPATE COVID-19 HAVING ON
THOSE REVENUE STREAMS.
WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE
PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENTS AND
TAKE A LOOK AT FEDERAL PROGRAMS
THAT MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE
CITY BUDGET.
TO START WE HAVE HEARD A LOT IN
THE NEWS ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT
COVID-19 IS HAVING ON MUNICIPAL
BUDGETS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
EVERY MUNICIPALITY, EVERY CITY
IS GOING TO BE IMPACTED
DIFFERENTLY TO THE EXTENT TO
WHICH THEIR REVENUES COME FROM.
THOSE MUNICIPALITIES WHICH WE
WILL SEE MORE DRAMATIC,
IMMEDIATE IMPACT ARE LISTED ON
THE POWERPOINT SLIDE.
TOURISM BASED ECONOMIES CAME TO
A SCREECHING HALT IN MID-MARCH.
CITIES WITH SPORTS ECONOMIES
LIKE DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO AND THE
ACTIVITIES COMING TO A HALTS AND
BUSINESSES BEING DRAMATICALLY
IMPACTED BY THE SHUTDOWN.
CASINOS ARE RE-OPENING, FAR
FEWER TABLES AND MORE SOCIAL
DISTANCING PUT IN PLACE,
RESTAURANTS AND BARS AND
TRADITIONAL RETAIL.
AREAS WHERE CITIES ARE DEPENDENT
ON THE REVENUE SOURCES THAT WILL
BE IMPACTED BY THIS CRISIS.
THE OTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND
IS THAT THE COVID-19 DOWNTURN IS
UNLIKE ANY OTHER RECESSION OUR
DOWNTURN WE EXPERIENCED IN OUR
LIFETIME.
IT IS A GRADUAL DECLINE AND WE
CAN BEGIN TO PREPARE FOR IT.
THIS IS FALLING OFF THE CLIFF.
THE FRIDAY FED STATEMENT SAID IT
IS AN EXTRAORDINARY PATH TO
RECOVERY.
WE ARE BE BEGINNING DOWN THIS
JOURNEY.
THAT SAID, I WOULD LIKE TO
HIGHLIGHT A LITTLE WHAT MAKES
RANCHO CORDOVA DIFFERENT THAN
THE NEIGHBORS JUST BECAUSE THE
CITY NEXT DOOR MIGHT BE SAYING
THE BUDGET CRISIS IS GOING TO BE
A CERTAIN EXTREME DOESN'T MEAN
THAT CRISIS IS GOING TO IMPACT
RANCHO CORDOVA TO THE SAME
EDOESN'T.
WE ARE DIFFER -- EXTENT.
WE DID HAVE A WELL DIVERSIFIED
TAX BASE FOR THE CITY.
NOT DEPENDENT ON A SINGLE LARGE
REVENUE SOURCE OR TAX GENERATOR,
NOT DEPENDENT ON TOURISM OR
ENTERTAIN MEANT TO FUND OUR
GENERAL FUND.
USER FEES ARE NOT A LARGE
PERCENTAGE OF THE BUDGET.
MANY CITIES WITH PARKS AND REC
CREATION ARE DRAMATICALLY
IMPACTED BY COVID-19 AND ABILITY
TO OFFER THOSE CLASSES AND
PROGRAMS.
THE FACT WE DON'T HAVE THAT
EXPOSURE HELPS US.
HOTEL OCCUPANCY IN THE CITY WE
BENEFITTED FROM A LARGE TRAVEL
BASE.
MANY HOTELS ARE LONG STANDING
RELATIONSHIPS WITH STATE AND
FELLOW AGENCIES.
WE DO CONTINUE TO SEE OCCUPANCY
AS HOTELS.
KEEP IN MIND MANY CITIES ARE
STRUCK SELLING WITH PENSION
LIABILITIES THAT CONTINUE TO
GROW AND DOMINATE A LARGE
PERCENTAGE OF THE BUDGET.
THE CITY OF RANCHO CORDOBA DOES
NOT HAVE THAT.
OUR PENSION LIABILITIES ARE
MANAGEABLE AND SMALL IN
COMPARISON TO NEIGHBORS.
I WILL HIGHLIGHT A FEW MAJOR TAX
REVENUE SOURCES.
FIRST IS THE LARGEST SOURCE
PROFIT TAX AT 32% OF THE GENERAL
FUND REVENUE BUDGET.
THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 BUDGET
178.5 -- $18.5 MILLION.
WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE IMPACT TO
UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR TAX ROLE AS
A RESULT OF THE DELAY IN THE
ASSESSED VALUE CALCULATION.
OUR ASSESSED VALUE ROLE WAS
CALCULATED BEFORE THIS DOWNTURN
EVEN OCCURRED.
>> THE NEXT ITEM IS SALES TAX.
AT 27% OF OUR GENERAL FUND
REVENUES WE HAD INITIALLY
ANTICIPATED A BUDGET OF
$15.6 MILLION.
REVISED IS ABOUT $14.3 MILLION.
CURRENT ESTIMATES 8% DOWNTURN
FROM ORIGINAL PROJECTIONS.
CHANGES IN CONSUMER SPENDING
HABITS EXPECTED TO IMPACT SALES
TAX.
A GOOD AMOUNT COMES FROM ONLINE.
OVERALL WE BELIEVE IT WILL TAKE
THREE TO FIVE YEARS TO RECOVER
FROM THIS CURRENT CRISIS.
>> CAN I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT
THIS SLIDE?
SO WE HAD OUR ESTIMATES IN
JANUARY.
THE NUMBER ON THE LEFT THAT
$15.6 MILLION IS THE LAST TIME
YOU CAME TO SEE US OR THIS IS
THE NEW ONE THE ONE O THE RIGHT
IS WHAT YOU SHOWED US?
>> $15.6 MILLION IS CURRENT
ADOPTED SALES TAX BUDGET FOR THE
UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR 2021.
THIS WAS BASED ON ESTIMATES FROM
A YEAR AGO AT THIS TIME WHEN THE
BUDGET WAS ADOPTED.
BEFORE COVID-19 I WOULD HAVE AN
ANSWERED THAT AND TOLD YOU WE
WOULD HAVE EXCEEDED
$15.6 MILLION SO WE WERE ON
TRACK TO DO MUCH BETTER.
SINCE THEN WE HAVE SEEN A
DRAMATIC DOWNTURN.
WE ANTICIPATE A DOWNTURN.
OUR CURRENT REVISED ESTIMATES
PUT US AT $14.3 MILLION NEXT
YEAR.
 ONE OF THE REVENUE
CATEGORIES IMPACTED FISCAL YEAR
2021 BUDGET ABOUT A YEAR AGO
FROM NOW, WAS $4.23 MILLION.
THIS ANTICIPATED THE OPENING OF
THE NEW HOTEL AND SOME
ADDITIONAL REVENUES.
THIS REVENUE SOURCE HAS REALLY
SUFFERED DRAMATICALLY IN THE
PAST COUPLE MONTHS.
OVERALL WE ARE ANTICIPATING
APPROXIMATELY A 35% DOWNTURN
NEXT FISCAL YEAR, AND THE
REALITY WE DON'T BELIEVE TOT
WILL RESUME TO NORMAL UNTIL A
COVID-19 VACCINE IS IN PLACE.
THE FIRST BIT OF DATA WE HAVE
GOTTEN OUT OF SOME OF THESE
REVENUES, THIS WAS APRIL 2020TOT
WE SAW DOWN 70% FROM APRIL 2019.
SO THAT IMPACTED THE CITY
BECAUSE WE HAVE A REVENUE
SHARING AGREEMENT WITH THE
COUNTY FOR CERTAIN HOTELS IN THE
ANNEXATION AREA IMPACTED
REVENUES 63% TO GIVE YOU AN
EXTENT OF THE CRISIS.
OVERALL THAT WAS 2 $22,000
DECLINE FOR ONE MONTH.
ANOTHER REVENUE SOURCE UTILITY
USER TAX.
AGAIN A SMALLER AMOUNT 6% OF THE
GENERAL FUNDS AND SMALLER IMPACT
OVERALL.
BUDGET $3.65 MILLION WAS
ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED.
WE REVISED IT DOWN TO
$3.8 MILLION.
THAT IS BECAUSE OF ANTICIPATED
DECLINE IN UTILITY USAGE AT
BUSINESSES WHERE WORKERS ARE
TELE COMMUTING OR CLOSED DUE TO
COVID-19.
WE SAW ENERGY CONSUMPTION 16
YEAR LOW IN APRIL.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE IMPACT IS
GOING TO BE OF THE REDUCED
OPERATING HOURS AND REDUCED
BUSINESS CLOSURES.
INVESTMENTS INCOME WAS CATEGORY
WE WERE FEELING OPTIMISTIC ABOUT
JUST A FEW MONTHS BACK.
INTEREST RATES WERE ON THE RISE
AND VERY ABRUPTLY IN MARCH WHEN
COVID-19 OCCURRED, THE FED CUT
INTEREST RATES TO ZERO.
AS THE CITY INVESTMENTS ARE
MATURING IN THE NEXT FISCAL
YEAR, INVESTMENTS THAT WE MAY
CURRENTLY BE EARNING 2% ON WILL
BE REINVESTED FOR THE WE ARE
LUCKY.3 TO .5% DOWNWARDS 350,000
ESTIMATE.
EARLY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
PRESENTATION WE ARE VERY EARLY
IN THIS CRISIS, TRYING TO
UNDERSTAND THE FULL IMPACT THAT
COVID-19 IS GOING TO HAVE ON
REVENUE STREAMS.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REVENUES
WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO KEEP
AN EYE ON AND MONITOR OVER THE
COMING MONTHS ON THIS SLIDE.
I DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO
HIGHLIGHT ALL OF THEM.
AS WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR HOW
THE VARIOUS PROGRAMS AND
FACILITIES ARE GOING TO BE
IMPACTED THESE ARE OTHER REVENUE
CATEGORIES THAT MAY NEED
ADJUSTED DOWNWARD IN THE FUTURE.
ANY QUESTIONS ON REVENUES BEFORE
I MOVE TO EXPENDITURE SIDE?
SO ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE ARE
ADOPTED BUDGET IS $57.3 MILLION
FOR THIS UPCOMING YEAR.
REVENUE REDUCTIONS I WALKED
THROUGH COME TO ABOUT 6%
REDUCTION.
$3.35 MILLION.
WE ARE BRINGING FORWARD A
PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT OF
$3.3 MILLION TO BRING THE
AMENDED BUDGET TO
$53.95 MILLION.
AS WE LOOK AT AREAS OF OUR
BUDGET THAT WE COULD LOOK FOR
BUDGET REDUCTIONS.
LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER EVERY
CITY HAS STRUGGLES SOME HAVE
PENSION DEBTS.
WE HAVE REVENUE NEUTRALITY WITH
DEBT SERVICE FOR CITY FACILITIES
AMOUNTING TO 19% OF TOTAL
BUDGET.
THAT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF
LEEWAY, NO ABILITY TO REDUCE
EXPENDITURES THERE.
THAT REMAINING AMOUNT OF BUDGET
IS GOING TO ALLOCATE WITH 42% TO
PUBLIC SAFETY AND REMAINING 39%
FROM ALL OTHER CITY DEPARTMENTS
AND PROGRAMS.
IN THIS SLIDE IS ANOTHER WAY TO
LOOK AT THE SAME INFORMATION BUT
HOW MAJOR CATEGORIES HOW OUR
EXPENDITURES ARE ALLOCATED.
WHAT THIS DEMONSTRATORS IS TO
MAKE MEANINGFUL IMPACT ON
REDUCING EXPENDITURES WE NEED TO
LOOK AT THE PURPLE SITUATION,
OPERATING AND CONTRACT COSTS.
SO THE PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT
BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING WOULD
POSTPONE FILLING VACANT AND
NEWLY ADDED POSITIONS.
THE IMPACT WOULD BE THE SECOND
FLOOR RECEPTION AREA WOULD
REMAIN CLOSED AND BE THIS WOULD
DELAY THE ADS OF TWO ADDITIONAL
PATROL OFFICERS TO THE CPD.
FREEZE MARKET ADJUSTMENTS TO BE
SALARIES AND BENEFITS, REDUCE
MEETING AND CONFERENCE BUDGETS
DUE TO THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON
TRAVEL AND CONFERENCES.
THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN
NATURALLY  AND MAY NOT HAVE MUCH
OF AN IMPACT OVERALL THE STAFF
ATTENDING STILL ABLE TO ATTEND
VIRTUALLY.
WE BELIEVE WE WILL SEE REDUCED
COSTS FROM FEWER EVENT WHILE THE
PANDEMIC IS IN PLACE.
WE WILL HAVE REDUCED CONTRACT
SERVICES FROM ANTICIPATED
SLOWDOWN IN SOME AREAS SUCH AS
BUILDING INSPECTION AND WE ARE
RECOMMENDING POSTPONEMENTS OF
NONESSENTIAL CAPITAL PROJECTS
FUNDED BY THE GENERAL FUND WHICH
MEANS FACILITIES AND IT
PROJECTS.
BEYOND THE GENERAL FUND, AS
STACY MENTIONED DURING HER
OVERVIEW OF THE COMMUNITY
ENHANCEMENT FUND, WE WILL SEE
SIGNIFICANT DOWNTURN NEXT FISCAL
YEAR AND BEYOND WITH COMMUNITY
ENHANCEMENT VENUES.
STREET REVENUES DECREASED DEMAND
AND SLOWING.
GAS TAX REVENUES.
WE WERE ANTICIPATING DECLINE.
HOWEVER THERE IS A HIGHER TAX
RATE GOING INTO EFFECT ON THE
GAS TAX NEXT FISCAL YEAR TO
OFFSET.
WE EXPECT IT TO BE NEUTRAL
IMPACT AND WE DO ANTICIPATE
DOWNTURN WITH THE SALES TAX
COMPONENT.
WE WILL MONITORAULT ALL REVENUE
STREAMS DEEPENING HOW SEVERE
THIS REVENUE CRISIS IS AND HOW
LONG IT TAKES TO RECOVER.
THERE IS POTENTIAL FEDERAL
RELIEF ON THE HORIZON.
IT IS NOT CERTAIN.
I USE POTENTIAL.
FIRST IS THE CARES ACT.
WE HAVE SEEN LARGER CITIES OVER
500,000 POPULATION BENEFITED
FROM THE FIRST ALLOCATION OF
CARES ACT FUNDING.
THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF
$275 MILLION THAT IS IN
DISCUSSION FOR CITIES BELOW
300,000.
I BELIEVE THAT IS PART OF THE
STATE BUDGET DISCUSSION UNDERWAY
THIS EVENING.
THAT MONEY COULD BE USED TO
REIMBURSE THE CITY FOR COVID-19
RELATED EXPENSES.
>> A LOT OF STATES AROUND THE
COUNTRY ARE FINDING WAYS TO
SPEND THAT ON BEHALF OF THE
CITIES WITHOUT CONSULTING THE
CITIES.
THAT BENEFITS YOU SO THAT IS
YOUR SHARE.
>> THAT IS VERY SHOCKING.
>> WHO WOULD IMAGINE THAT WOULD
HAPPEN?
I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE HEADED
IN CALIFORNIA.
I AM ON THE BOARD OF THE LEAGUE
BUT GIVING UP PREDICTING WHAT
MIGHT HAPPEN.
>> IN QUOTATION MARKS POTENTIAL
FEDERAL FUNDS.
RESTRICTED TO REIMBURSE THE CITY
FOR COVID-19 DIRECT EXPENSES.
>> I SAW WHERE THEY WERE
SPENDING SOMETHING THEY HAD
GOTTEN IN RELIEF.
I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT
WAS.
>> THE ONLY ONE I HAVE SEEN ON
THE AGENDA I HAVE BEEN IN
COMMUNICATION IS THE ADDITIONAL
CDBG FUNDING THEY RECEIVED.
WE HAVE RECEIVED SOME ADDITIONAL
ALLOCATION FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
>> THE OTHER ONE THAT I AM
CERTAIN THAT IS HOW THEY TIED IT
TOGETHER IN THE ELK GROVE
CITIZEN.
>> I READ THE HEADLINE IN THE
CITIZEN.
>> THE OTHER POTENTIAL FEDERAL
RELIEF FUNDS IN DISCUSSION THE
SMART ACT $500 BILLION TO BE
ALLOCATED TO STATES.
A THIRD OF THAT MUST BE
ALLOCATED TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS,
50/50 SPLIT BETWEEN CONFIDENTS
AND CITIES -- COUNTIES AND
CITIES.
THIS COULD BE USED TO BACKFILL
LOST REVENUES.
WHERE I PREDICTED A DECLINE THIS
COULD BE A BACKFILL IF IT COMES
TO FRUITION.
NEXT STEPS.
IN CLOSING WE HAVE TWO
RESOLUTIONS THIS EVENING.
FIRST IS REQUEST TO ADOPT THE
RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE FISCAL
YEAR 2021 OPERATING BUDGET AS
DESCRIBED IN THIS PRESENTATION
AND THE SECOND IS TO ADOPT A
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE SALARY
SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021.
THERE WOULD BE NOEN CREASES.
NO INCREASES TO BE SALARIES IN
THE PROPOSED SCHEDULE.
IIT IS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH
CALIPERS REQUIREMENTS.
NEXT STEPS BEFORE YOU THIS
EVENING AND THE PLAN IS TO
RETURN BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL
IN SEPTEMBER BOTH WITH A CURRENT
FISCAL YEAR 2019-20 YEAR END
FINANCIAL REPORT AND POTENTIALLY
REVISIT THE FISCAL YEAR 20-21
BUDGET TO SEE IF FURTHER
REDUCTIONS MIGHT BE REQUIRED.
WITH THAT I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS.
>> ANY QUESTIONS, COUNCIL?
>> I HAVE ONE.
>> GO AHEAD, LINDA.
>> THE PROJECTION IN CAPITAL
EXPENDITURES.
I DON'T HAVE A QUARREL WITH IT.
I AM SORRY TO SEE THE
RECEPTIONIST ON THE SECOND FLOOR
GO, BUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
REDUCING  EXPENDITURES, THERE WS
A NOTE ABOUT I T.
MAKE SURE THAT IT EXPENDITURE
REDUCTION DOES NOT AFFECT OUR
ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO INTERFACE
WITH OUR CUSTOMERS IN THE MOST
TECHNICAL ENHANCED WAY.
I AM THINKING ABOUT BUILDING
PERMITS, ONLINE PERMITS, THOSE
KINDS OF THINGS.
I KNOW YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.
WE DON'T WANT TO -- MY MOTT MY D
SAY DON'T CUT OFF YOUR NOSE TO
SPITE YOUR FACE.
>> IN RESPONSE TO THAT QUESTION.
THE IT RELATED PROJECTS
CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.
FOR EXAMPLE, COUNCIL MEMBER
BUDGE MENTIONED BUILDING
PERMITS.
WE HAVE A PROJECT FOR A NEW
SYSTEM FOR BUILDING PERMITS.
THAT FUNDING IS SET ASIDE.
THIS WOULD NOT IMPACT ANY
PROJECTS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY.
THIS WOULD ONLY POSTPONE FUTURE
ANTICIPATED TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS,
IT WOULD NOT IMPACT ANYTHING
THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING WORKED
ON.
>> CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE SLIDE
THAT SHOWED THE CUTS, PLEASE.
>> THANK YOU.
OUR EMERGENCY FUND.
ARE WE TAPPING THAT YET OR NO?
>> AT THIS TIME THIS BUDGET IS
MERELY BALANCING THE REVENUES
AND EXPENDITURES WITHOUT LOOKING
TO RESERVE FUNDS TO BALANCE THE
BUDGET.
>> AFTER THAT COMMENT, ONE
REASON THAT WE RECOMMEND NOT
CONSIDER THAT AT THIS POINT
ABUSE WE ARE IN EARLY STAGES OF
THIS CRISIS.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE MAY
HAPPEN OR WHAT ELSE MAY BE
COMING.
WE ARE COMING BACK IN SEPTEMBER
FOR SOME ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION
AND HOPEFULLY BY THEN WE HAVE
MORE UPDATES ABOUT THE STATUS OF
THE ECONOMY AND POTENTIAL FUTURE
OUTLOOK ON OUR ECONOMY.
AT THIS POINT WE THINK IT IS
PRUDENT NOT TO CONSIDER THAT.
THAT IS NOT OUT OF THE PICTURE,
BUT I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A
MORE CLEAR PICTURE BEFORE WE GO
THERE.
>> I AGREE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE
UNDERSTAND THE EMERGENCY FUND
WAS PUT THERE FOR THIS AND NOT
TO TRY TO HOLD IT SO WE HAVE A
SURPLUS THIS YEAR.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN
WE NEED TO SPEND IT WE SPEND IT.
YOU KNOW, LAYING OFF PEOPLE IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE PANDEMIC
UNLESS WE HAVE HIT EVERY IF WE
HAVE TO CUT COSTS WE WOULD WANT
TO LOOK AT THAT NUT IS FOR THIS
EXACT REASON.
THAT IS TO MAKE SURE THE
SERVICES CONTINUE AT THE SAME
HIGH LEVEL.
LET ME GO IN WHAT PROJECTS ARE
WE THINKING ARE NONESSENTIALLY
FOR I T?
>> FOR THE FUTURE PROJECTS WE
WERE ANTICIPATING INCLUDED A
CAPITAL PROJECT SYSTEM THAT
WOULD -- WE DON'T HAVE ONE
CURRENTLY.
THERE IS ONE THAT WOULD BE
POSTPONED.
ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WAS
CONTEMPLATESSED THAT WOULD BE
POSTPONED.
THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS STILL
WORKING SO WE FELT COMFORTABLE
TO POSTPONE BE TO BETTER SENSE
OF FINANCES.
>> THE FLIP SIDE IS NOW IS AN
EXCELLENT TIME TO ROLL OUT
BECAUSE YOU ARE ABLE TO GET IN
FRONT OF IT.
>> I THINK IT IS NOT WORTHY WE
ARE MOVING AHEAD WITH TWO
SIGNIFICANT IT PROJECTS.
THE PLANNING PERMITTING WORK
THAT WE ARE WORKING ON IN CODE
ENFORCEMENT WOULD STAY ON TRACK.
WE ALSO JUST VERY RECENTLY
APPROVED UPGRADE OF FINANCE
SYSTEM.
THAT UPGRADE WILL MOVE FORWARD.
THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT PROJECT
THAT WHEN UPDATE FOR THE
OUTDATED SYSTEM WE HAVE HAD
SINCE THE  INCORPORATION.
>> T THAT IS THE PERMITTING
SYSTEM, CORRECT?
>> THAT AND THE FINANCE SYSTEM.
>> WHAT WOULD BE -- WHEN DO WE
HIT THE POINT WHERE WE NEED TO
START LAYING OFF EMPLOYEES OR
FURLOUGHING EMPLOYEES?
WHAT WOULD THAT REQUIRE?
>> AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOT
CONSIDERING FURLOUGHS AND
LAYOFFS.
I THINK WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO
YOU TONIGHT WE WILL BE ABLE TO
GIVE US ABOUT OVER $3 MILLION
ADJUSTMENT IN THE BUDGET, AND WE
WILL COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER,
HOPEFULLY, WE WILL HAVE MORE
DATA TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.
AT THAT POINT WE CAN DISCUSS THE
POSSIBILITY IF WE FEEL LIKE THE
BUDGET GAP WILL BE GREATER THAN
WHAT WE ANTICIPATE THAT COULD BE
A DISCUSSION POTENTIALLY FOR
TAPPING INTO THE RESERVES.
AT THIS POINT NO LAYOFFS OR
FURLOUGHS ARE CONTEMPLATED.
>> HAVING BEEN THROUGH AN UGLY
RECESSION.
THIS MAKES THAT SEEM SMALL
SOMETIMES.
I THINK WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
RESERVES, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
SERVICE LEVEL REDUCTIONS.
YOU KNOW, WHEN WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT WE CAN'T AFFORD THE LEVEL
OF SERVICE WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IN
POLICE OR ROAD MAINTENANCE AND
THINGS LIKE THAT.
WHEN WE GET THERE AND IF WE HAVE
A GOOD PATH FORWARD, YOU KNOW,
WE ARE SEEING REVENUE START TO
COME BACK UP BUT NOT FAST
ENOUGH.
WE THINK BY THIS TIME IT WILL.
THEREFORE IF WE EXPENDED THIS
AMOUNT OF MONEY WE BELIEVE IT
WILL BE BACK TO THE LEVEL OF
SERVICE THAT WE WANT WITHIN THE
GIVEN AMOUNT OF -- PREDICTABLE
AMOUNT OF TIME THEN YOU CAN
JUSTIFY TAKING OUT RESERVES.
TO TAKE IT OUT FOR PROJECTS WE
DON'T HAVE TO DO TODAY, THAT IS
NOT ENOUGH.
I THINK WHEN WE START TALKING
ABOUT LESS PATROLS, LESS CODE
AND LESS ANIMAL SERVICES, THOSE
QUESTIONS, THAT IS WHEN YOU NEED
TO ASK THE QUESTION.
IS IT AWAYS EXPENDITURE?
CAN YOU JUSTIFY THE MEANS OF THE
END?
YOU KNOW THE END AND THIS IS
WHEN WE WILL RECOVER AND HOW
MUCH  IT IS TAKE TO GET THERE.
>> THAT IS A GOOD SUMMARY.
ALSO TO ADD WE WERE IN FEBRUARY
IN REALLY GOOD FINANCIAL SHAPE.
WE WERE HEADED TOWARDS A SIZABLE
SURPLUS.
THAT BUILD UP OF RESOURCES
BUFFERED THE SHORT TERM IMPACT
FOR US.
>> I WILL GO ONE FURTHER.
COMPARE US TO ANY MUNICIPALITY
IN THE REGION.
FORGET THE REST OF THE STATE AND
OTHER STATES AND REGIONS.
WE WERE IN A VERY ENVIOUS PLACE,
AND A LOT OF THINGS BAKED INTO
THAT FIRST SLIDE THIS IS WHAT WE
HAVE TO PAY FOR AND WE DON'T
HAVE A CHOICE REVENUE
NEUTRALITY.
THE NUMBER OF BULLET POINTS
OTHER CITIES HAVE IN THAT SLIDE
MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE
THE CHOICES WE AREN'T HAVING TO
MAKE RIGHT NOW.
>> RIGHT.
YOU CAN MAGGEN WHAT IS --
IMAGINE PENSION LIABILITIES.
THEY ARE HIT HARD.
ALL-TIME CITY REVENUE HIGHS THEY
WERE HIT HARD WITH PENSION
LIABILITIES.
IMAGINE THE NEXT FEW YEARS FOR
THEM.
>> JUST THINK IF YOU LOOK AT OUR
SLIDE AND KIM WAS POINTING OUT
THE LACK OF RETURN WE ARE
GETTING ON INVESTMENTS.
THAT LACK OF RETURN ON THE MONEY
IN THE BANK.
IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
STOCK MARKET AND TO ALL OF THE
OTHER ONES AND THE DIFFERENCE
THAT THE PERS FUND CAN'T PAY FOR
RETIREMENT.
THAT IS LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
THAT IS A HUGE HOLE TO FILL FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
  IT WASN'T PRETTY BEFORE.
>> BOB.
>> ON THE POTENTIAL FEDERAL
FUNDS.
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THEY ARE
STILL ARGUING IN WASHINGTON,
D.C. ABOUT THE SECOND ACT?
IS THAT WHAT THEY ARE ARGUING
ON?
WE GOT FIRST ONE AND EVERYBODY
WAS GETTING OKAY ON THAT.
$1,200 EACH AND ALL OF THAT.
WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE RIGHT NOW?
IS THIS WHAT WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT THE CARES ACT POTENTIAL
FEDERAL FUNDS?
>> CORRECT.
THE CARES ACT HAS BEEN APPROVED.
IT IS AT THE STATE LEVEL IS MY
UNDERSTANDING FOR DISCUSSIONS
HOW THAT CAN BE ALLOCATED.
THE SMART ACT EARLIER IT WAS
CALLED THE HEROES ACT THAT
BECAME THE SMART ACT.
THERE IS A LOT OF DESIRE TO MOVE
SOMETHING LIKE THIS FORWARD.
>> I WAS THINKING THAT THE SOME
OF T THE THINGS DISCUSSED IN THE
SENATE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT
POSSIBLY GETTING SOME OF THESE
THINGS THROUGH.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WHEN I
LOOKED AT THIS THAT WE ARE STILL
WAITING FOR THE AGREEMENT, IF
ANY, TO COME.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE HAD
OUR 2005 AND 2008 HIT LIKE THAT
AND ALL OF THE HOMES AND
EVERYTHING STOPPED.
NO NEW HOMES WEREN'T BEING
BUILT.
WE LAID OFF, I THINK, 16 OR 17
BUILDING INSPECTORS FROM RANCHO
CORDOVA EITHER CONTRACT OR
PERSONAL.
THERE WAS NOTHING TO IN.
THE HOMES QUIT.
RIGHT NOW, KNOCK ON WOOD.
WE ARE DOING BETTER OFF ON THAT.
I AM GLAD WE DON'T HAVE THAT
AGAIN AT LEAST RIGHT NOW ANYWAY.
I HOPE BY SEPTEMBER WE CAN HAVE
POSITIVE INFORMATION TO GO
THROUGH.
AT THIS POINT THE BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES ARE
MOVING FORWARD, BUT WE ARE ALSO
HEARING THAT BUILDERS AND
DEVELOPERS ARE MAYBE CONSIDERING
TO PUT CERTAIN PROJECTS ON HOLD.
NOT QUITE KNOWN YET.
VERY MUCH I THINK THEY FIND
THEMSELVES IN THE SAME SITUATION
AS WE DID.
GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY.
WHEN WILL THIS PANDEMIC END?
WHAT IS THE LONG-TERM IMPACT OF
IT?
I THINK THEY ARE PLAYING IT LIKE
WE ARE WEEK BY WEEK.
THTHAT IS THE REASON WE CANNOT
GIVE YOU WITH CERTAINTY THE
FORECAST FOR THE NEXT SIX
MONTHS.
WE HAVE TO DO THIS DAILY  AND WE
ARE SYRINGELANT BE ABOUT WHAT IS
GOING ON.
THAT IS -- VERY VIGILANT.
WE WANT TO COME BACK IN
SEPTEMBER TO HAVE INFORMATION WE
DO NOT ARE TODAY.
WE HAVE TO BE VERY VIGILANT.
>> COMMENTS IN 2007-2008 IS WHEN
WE TORE DOWN OUR HOUSE AND
REBUILT IT.
WE GOT A HECK OF DEAL ALL OF THE
BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS WERE
OUT OF WORK.
THERE MIGHT BE OPPORTUNITIES IN
THIS TO BUY SOMETHING, DO
SOMETHING, BUILD SOMETHING, BID
OUT SOMETHING THAT BECAUSE WE
HAVE SOME FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY
AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS DON'T
THAT WE CAN GET A GOOD DEAL ON.
I WOULD URGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT
THAT AND LOOK AT THAT.
>> THINK ABOUT THE COST OF THE
INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE THAT THEY
PUT OVER THE CANAL.
WE SAVED A FEW MILLION DOLLARS
ON THAT BECAUSE OF THE SAME
THING.
WE HAD THE CONTRACTORS LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING TO DO.
WE GOT THAT BRIDGE IN.
SEE WHAT WE CAN DO ON SOME OF
THESE THINGS THAT WILL HELP US,
HELP THE CITIZENS AND THE
BUSINESSES.
THAT IS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR.
>> GOOD TIME TO BUILD THE
INTERCHANGE.
WE HAVE AN EXTRA $100 MILLION
LAYING AROUND BE.
>> NOT QUITE THERE YET.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ITEM?
>> IF I MAY JUST TAKE A MINUTE.
I WANTED TO THANK OUR FINANCE
TEAM AND OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM.
WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT FINDING
WAYS TO REDUCE EXPENSES BY OVER
$3 MILLION, IT WAS A GREAT
COLLABOR RATIVE PROCESS WHERE WE
WENT THROUGH EVERY ITEM OF WORK
AND IDENTIFIED SOME ITEMS THAT
COULD BE DELAYED.
I MAKE NO MISTAKE.
THERE WOULD BE AN IMPACT TO THE
WORK THAT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE
TO PROVIDE THE COMMUNITY.
WE WERE ABLE TO FIND SOME WAYS
TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT TO MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS AND HOPEFUL LEAP WE
DON'T HAVE TO GO MUCH DEEPER.
IF WE DO WE WILL HAVE CREATIVE
WAYS AND OPTIONS TO DEAL WITH
IT.
THANK YOU, TEAM, FOR A JOB
WELL-DONE.
>> ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT?
>> ON THIS MOTION WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT TO ADOPT THIS RESOLUTION
WITH THE AMENDMENTS, JUST LIKE
POSTPONING FILLING THE VAC
VACANT/NEWLY ADDED POSITIONS,
SECOND FLOOR RECEPTION IS

>> CORRECT.
>> TWO RESOLUTIONS.
IF THERE IS NO OTHER DISCUSSION
I AM OPEN FOR A MOTION.
>> I WOULD MOVE WE ADOPT NUMBER

>> I AM MAYOR GATEWOOD?
>> MAYOR SANDER.
>> AYE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WE ARE MOVING TO REQUEST FOR
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS.
I HAVE ONE.
I WAS CONTACTED BY A GENTLEMAN
INVOLVED IN A PROCESS TO 
DECRIMINALIZE YOUTH POSSESSION
OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
THE POLICE CHIEF CAME BACK WITH
ENTHUSIASTIC YES THAT THAT WAS
SOMETHING WE COULD DO BECAUSE
STATE LAW HAD GONE THERE.
THIS ELIMINATES SOME
COMPLICATIONS FOR YOUTH,
PARTICULARLY AND MAY EVEN CHANCE
ENFORCEMENTS.
YOU COUPLE THAT REFORM WITH A
CITY-WIDE BAN ON THE SALE OF
FLAVORED TOBACCO PRODUCTS.
THOSE ARE TO APPEAL TO KIDS SO
YOU OFFICIALLY BAN THE SALE AND
YOU DECRIMINALIZE THE JUVENILE
POSSESSION OF THOSE PRODUCTS.
THAT IS PROBABLY WORTHY OF
DISCUSSION, BUT I AM CURIOUS
WHAT MY COLLEAGUES WOULD THINK
ABOUT THAT.
>> I BROUGHT UP AWHILE AGO THE
FACT THAT THE LAST TIME WE
TALKED ABOUT TOBACCO PRODUCTS
AND VAPING PRODUCTS WE WERE
UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THE FDA AND
FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION WERE
GOING TO ACT IN A MEANINGFUL
WAY.
WE ALL GOT AN E-MAIL TALKING
ABOUT WHAT THEY DID WAS FAR LESS
THAN WHAT THEY THREATENED TO DO.
YEAH, IT IS A GREAT IDEA.
I ALSO THINK IT IS SHOWING THAT
WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THE
RAMIFICATIONS, TOO, AND THE FACT
THAT THERE IS SOME POLICY
SOLUTIONS TO WHAT CAME OF THAT.
I THINK IT IS A GREAT IDEA AND I
THINK IT CONTINUES TO PUT US AT
THE FOREFRONT OF TOBACCO AND
E-CIGARETTE POLICIES AS FARCE AS
HEALTH.
FIRST ONE TO DO THESE THINGS
AROUND HERE AND IT IS HIGH TIME
TO START IT UP AGAIN.
>> ANY OTHER OPINIONS?
>> MAYOR WE LOOKED AT THAT ISSUE
AND WE ARE ENTHUSIASTIC OF
LOOKING AT IT.
IN DIALOGUE ABOUT OUTREACH AND
THAT SORT OF THING.
>> IS THAT SOMETHING FOR THE
NEXT MEETING OR PAST THAT?
>> NO, IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE BIT
LONGER.
>> I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD BE A
GREAT OPPORTUNITY IF WE CAN FIT
IT IN FOR A WORKSHOP TO HAVE A
LONGER CONVERSATION THAN JUST AN
ITEM TO VOTE ON.
>> I THINK IT IS AMENABLE TO
DISCUSSING THIS.
>> REALISTICALLY THIS COULD BE
IN AUGUST TIMEFRAME FOR
DISCUSSION.
>> JULY COMING UP AND WE DON DO
A LOT IN JULY.
>> POTENTIAL ITEMS IN JULY.
>> THAT IS TWO OF US.
ANYBODY ELSE INTERESTED IN THAT?
>> WE ARE UP TO FOUR.
BOB SAID YES AS WELL.
>> OKAY.
DONALD DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING
ELSE?
>> YES, THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO
IS WORKING ON IT.
A LOT OF US HAVE BEEN APPROACHED
ABOUT IT.
AS WE START TO SEE THE
RESTAURANTS RE-OPENING ONE OF
THE THINGS WE NOTICED IS WHAT I
WILL SAY IS PRICE GOUGING OF
DELIVERY SERVICES FOR FOOD
DELIVERY.
WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT OPTIONS
WE HAVE WITHIN OUR POWER TO
REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF COSTS THAT
OUR RESTAURANTS HAVE TO PAY FOR
THE DELIVERY APPS TO FUNCTION IN
OUR CITY.
ON THAT TIMEFRAME I WOULD LIKE
TO SEE US DO SOMETHING OR
CONSIDER SOMETHING SOONER THAN
AUGUST IF POSSIBLE.
THERE ARE BOTTLES OF ENACTED
POLICIES AND LEGISLATION.
>> I HAVE SEEN PRICES GO UP.
IT IS A FREE MARKET.
THERE SO NO LIMIT ON
PARTICIPATION UNLESS THERE IS A
GOVERNMENT RESTRICTION?  LIMITS
WHO CAN PROVIDE THE SERVICE.
>> I AM TALKING ABOUT FOR A LOT
OF -- WHEN YOU SEE $6 OR
$5 SERVICE FEE ON THERE.
YOU ARE NOT SEEING THE FULL COST
OF THAT.
A LOT OF THAT IS FORMED BY THE
RESTAURANTS AND THE APPS  HAD
CHOSEN DURING THIS TIME OF
CRISIS TO ADD TO THE COSTS TO
WHERE YOU SEE 30, 40% MARKUP OF
YOUR BILL FROM THE RESTAURANT.
NOT JUST THE PERSON GETTING THE
DELIVERY.
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING IN THIS
SPACE A.CITY SACRAMENTO IS
LOOKING AT 15% CAP ON THE FEE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS THE
ANSWER.
THERE IS A LOT OF MOVEMENT
AROUND THE APPS WHEN THEY WERE
MAKING SO MUCH MONEY AND DID NOT
DISCUSSION ABOUT HELPING THE
RESTAURANTS SURVIVE.
>> THEY HAVE THREE OR FOR
DIFFERENT OPTIONS FOR DELIVER
RE.
IT IS CONFUSING.
THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS FOR
DELIVERY.
>> I COUNTED 10 DIFFERENT SIGNS
AT RUBIOS.
>> THEY CAN MAKE THAT WORK.
A LOT OF THOSE THAT SWITCHED TO
DOING THIS, YOU ARE TALKING
MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF FEES.
I DON'T KNOW THE SOLUTION.
MAYBE WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT.
>> MIKE, DO YOU HAVE ANY INSIGHT
ON THIS?
>> I JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT,
NOT UNPACK IT TONIGHT.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT IT.
>> WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS
WITH LOCAL RESTAURANTS ABOUT
THIS ISSUENA HAS ARISEN.
WE HAVE HAD THOSE CONVERSATIONS
ALREADY.
THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE BEEN SO
FAR.
>> THREE PARTIES INTERESTED IN
PURSUING THIS?
ONE MORE.
>> DO IT.
>> THERE IS THREE.
>> KEEP ON GOING.
>> ANYTHING ELSE?
IF NOT, CYRUS.
>> COUNCIL, WE ARE TYPICALY GO
DARK FOR THE SECOND MEETING IN
JULY.
GIVEN THAT WE HAVE A NUMBER OF
ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS,
WE HAVE FAIRLY LONG LIST OF
ITEMS, IS THERE A PROBLEM AND
SINCE ALSO NOT TOO MANY ARE
TRAVELING.
WOULD IT BE OKAY TO RESTORE THE
SECOND MEETING IN JULY AND HAVE
THE REGULAR MEETING ON
JULY 20TH?
>> NO OBJECTION.
>> MANY PEOPLE AREN'T TRAVELING
A LONG DISTANCE.
>> IF THEY DID TRAVEL WITH
REMOTE ACCESS IT IS EASIER THAN
IT USED TO BE.
>> IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WE
ARE GOING TO ADJOUR TO CLOSED
SESSION.
WE ARE GOING TO KEEP THIS
MEETING LIVE ON ZOOM.
WE WILL COME BACK AFTER THE
CLOSED SESSION TO MAKE
ANNOUNCEMENTS ABOUT CLOSED
SESSION.
WE WILL ADJOURN TO CLOSED
SESSION AT THIS POINT.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.
