SO. SO I MET MARITZA ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO, MAYBE EVEN POSSIBLY BEFORE THAT WHEN I SERVED ON THE. YEAH, PLANNING COMMISSION, PARKS AND RECS COMMISSION. PRETTY MUCH EVERY COMMISSION WE HAD. BUT MARITZA, SHE'S AN EXTREMELY HARD WORKER. SHE'S VERY, VERY DEDICATED TO EVERYTHING THAT SHE DOES AS WELL AS EVERYTHING THAT WE ASK FOR HER TO DO, WHETHER THEY'RE

[00:10:05]

YOU KNOW, SHE WAS SHE WAS THE PERSON THAT THAT THEY WENT TO, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T THE CITY MANAGER, IT WAS MARITZA. WHETHER IT WAS LAW ENFORCEMENT, WHETHER IT WAS FIRE. EVERYBODY WENT TO MARITZA. SHE WAS THE GO TO PERSON. SO THAT'S THE BIGGEST LOSS. AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND KNOW THAT IT IS VERY SADDENING FOR YOU TO LEAVE. SO KNOW THAT WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND GENUINELY I DO. I'M GOING TO MISS YOU. AND I THINK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO WELL WHEREVER YOU YOU GO.

THANK YOU. WELL, I JUST WANT TO SAY A QUICK COMMENT. I REMEMBER I MET MARITZA, I STARTED COMING TO CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS SINCE I WAS PROBABLY, LIKE OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL. AND I REMEMBER MEETING MARITZA WHEN SHE STARTED. SHE DOES REMEMBER BECAUSE I USED TO SIT IN THE BACK AND I WAS JUST A KID THAT CAME AND SAT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS. BUT I REMEMBER WHEN SHE STARTED AND, YOU KNOW, I'VE KNOWN HER THROUGHOUT AND SEEN HER IN DIFFERENT EVENTS.

I'M REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF THE RECOGNITION. I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS TO BE VERY HONEST. I I'VE, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 14 YEARS AND I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW WITH THE COMMUNITY, WITH THE TEAM THAT THE COUNCIL'S ALLOWED ME TO LEAD AND WITH WITH THE COUNCIL SUPPORT. IT'S BEEN A REAL HONOR TO SERVE THIS COMMUNITY. IT'S BITTERSWEET TO LEAVE BECAUSE I LOVE THE COMMUNITY AND I LOVE THE TEAM, AND I LOVE ALL THE THINGS THAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED TOGETHER, AND I'M SO EXCITED FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE YET TO COME. I HOPE TO COME BACK AND BE ABLE TO SEE SOME OF THOSE FRUITS AS WELL. I WAS HERE WHEN WE DESIGNED AND OPENED LESS LOTUS ONE, AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THE FULL COMPLETION OF THAT PARK AND A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT ARE ON THE HORIZON FOR COACHELLA. SO I WISH A LOT OF LOVE AND PROSPERITY FOR THE COMMUNITY.

THE CITY OF COACHELLA CONTRACT WITH TWO SOCCER LEAGUES, SEESAW AND CVSL. AND BOTH PRESIDENTS ARE HERE AND KNOW THAT EACH LEAGUE HAS, WHAT, MAYBE ABOUT 100 TEAMS MORE. AND IT WAS MARITZA ALSO WHO HAS THAT RESPONSIBILITY OF WORKING WITH THE LEAGUES AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR USES AND FIELD USES ARE ALSO BEING USED RESPONSIBLY.

MAYOR PRO TEM DELGADO, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. AS MR. PATTERSON MENTIONED, MY NAME IS KENDRA, AND I'M THE INTERIM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR WITH THE CITY OF COACHELLA. AND TONIGHT, I'M GOING TO BE GIVING A BRIEF UPDATE ON OUR SIX CYCLE HOUSING ELEMENT. SEE SEE SEE SEE. FEEDBACK. AND THEN. WE'RE

[00:25:24]

WHY DON'T WE MOVE TO THE SUNLINE TRANSIT HUB AND KENDRA CAN HELP JASON FIND IT. DO YOU WANT TO JUST COME BACK UP? YEAH, YEAH. THAT'S FINE. THANK YOU. SO, OKAY. PRESENTATION FROM THE PUBLIC ART. PROPOSAL FOR SUNLINE TRANSIT HUB. DO YOU WANT TO PULL UP THE ITEM NUMBER SIX? I THINK I AM, ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL MEMBERS, SELENA JIMENEZ, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THE ITEM BEFORE YOU IS A PRESENTATION ON MONARCHS A HOUSE IN SIX PARTS. IT IS A PUBLIC ART PROPOSAL FOR THE CITY OF COACHELLA. SUNLINE TRANSIT HUB SITE. AND LET ME BEGIN THE PRESENTATION. OH, JUST A MOMENT. OOPS. OKAY, I THINK THE BATTERY DIED. OH, THERE WE GO. JUST MAKE SURE THAT I'M ON THE CORRECT SLIDE. ALL RIGHT. SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE COLLABORATION. SO WE ARE COLLABORATING POTENTIALLY WITH THE PUBLIC ART COMPANY WHICH IS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY AGENCY DEVOTED TO CREATING COMPELLING PUBLIC ART, EXPERIENTIAL INSTALLATIONS AND CULTURAL PROGRAMING. IF YOU MAY RECALL, THE CITY OF COACHELLA DOES HAVE SOME PUBLIC ART THAT THE PUBLIC ART COMPANY STEWARDED. AND THAT WOULD BE LIKE THAT GRIZZLY BEAR AT AT THE, AT ONE OF OUR PARKS. AND THEN WE HAVE AETHERIA AND THEN NOW THEY'RE PROPOSING TO BRING IN MONARCHS. AND SO THE PUBLIC ART COMPANY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEM. IT WAS FOUNDED BY RAFI LEAR, A CURATOR AND PRODUCER BORN AND RAISED IN LOS ANGELES, RAFI HAS BEEN DEVELOPING AND PRODUCING LARGE SCALE INSTALLATIONS, IMMERSIVE EXHIBITS AND CULTURAL PROGRAMING AT EVENTS SUCH AS ART BASEL, COACHELLA VALLEY MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL AND DESIGN MIAMI FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS. AND SO THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR THE LONG TERM LOAN AND INSTALLATION OF MONARCHS BY HANNAH AND ARTWORK OWNED BY GOLDENVOICE FOR INCLUSION IN THE CITY OF COACHELLA PUBLIC ART COLLECTION. THIS PROJECT BUILDS ON PREVIOUS SUCCESSFUL COLLABORATIONS, AS I JUST MENTIONED, BETWEEN GOLDENVOICE AND THE CITY, AND FOLLOWS THE SAME FRAMEWORK AS EXISTING LONG TERM ART LOAN AGREEMENTS. INSTALLATION WILL BE COORDINATED BY PAUL CLEMENT AND THE GOLDENVOICE PRODUCTION TEAM, AND WITH AN ANTICIPATED TIMELINE OF, WE'LL SAY, JUNE 2025, IF, IF, IF APPROVED. I DO HAVE RAFI LEAR HERE THIS EVENING, SO I WANT TO INTRODUCE HIM BEFORE I FORGET. RAFI, COME ON UP AND LET ME GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE MOUSE, BUT. IT'S NOT WORKING. OKAY, SO. YEAH. SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE SCOPE OF SERVICES THAT THE ART INSTALLATION WILL COMPRISE. GO AHEAD. RAFI. YEAH. HELLO. SO WE WILL BE SERVING AS A LIAISON BETWEEN THE CITY AND GOLDENVOICE, COORDINATING WITH THE GOLDENVOICE TEAM THAT WILL BE HANDLING THE INSTALLATION OF THIS. INSTALLATION OF THIS ARTWORK. AND ALSO PROVIDE THE ANY, ANY NECESSARY PROJECT DOCUMENTATION FOR THE CITY AND JUST SUPPORT WITH ALSO ANY ANY TYPE OF SIGNAGE SHOULD THAT BE

[00:30:06]

AND SO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ART SCULPTURE BEFORE I GET INTO THE EXCITING PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ART SCULPTURE. IT A HOUSE IN SIX PARTS IS AN ARCHITECTURAL ART INSTALLATION PRODUCED FOR THE COACHELLA VALLEY MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL, AND IT WAS DESIGNED BY LESLIE LOCKE AND SASHA ZIVKOVIC FROM HANA, AS WELL AS ASSISTANT ARCHITECTURE PROFESSORS AT THE CORNELL UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE, ART AND PLANNING. SO THE ORIGINAL ART INSTALLATION IS COMPRISED OF SIX TOWERS, EACH WITH A THREE DIMENSIONAL PRINTED CONCRETE BASE SUPPORTING A ROBOTICALLY FABRICATED PLYWOOD CROWN. THE TOWERS RANGE FROM AROUND 24FT TO 26FT IN HEIGHT. THE CITY WOULD WOULD ACQUIRE TWO OF THE SIX TOWER STRUCTURES, SIZE 25FT AND 2020 SIX FEET, RESPECTIVELY, AND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE COLOR GRADIENTS. THEY WERE INSPIRED BY THE COLORS OF THE DESERT SKY AT SUNDOWN, PARTICULARLY THE BLUES AND THE PINKS OF THE LOCAL PALETTE. SO BASICALLY, THE IDEA THAT THE DESIGNERS HAD IN MIND IS TO OF THE CONCRETE BASES IS TO IS FOR THEM TO BE OCCUPIABLE, AND SO THAT THEY PRODUCE MOMENTS OF SHELTER AND REST AND SEATING, WHICH IS PERFECTLY SUITABLE FOR PASSENGERS WAITING AT THE SUNLINE TRANSIT HUB. AND THEN THE BIGGER WOODEN STRUCTURES PRODUCE SHADING. THE SCULPTURE COULD ALSO OPERATE AS A KIND OF A PLACE MARKER OR WAYFINDER FOR THE TRANSIT HUB AND THE CITY OF COACHELLA. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND SO HERE'S MONARCHS, A HOUSE IN SIX PARTS. AND THESE TWO WOULD BE THE PAVILIONS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED. THERE'S PAVILION ONE ON THE LEFT AND NUMBER TWO ON THE RIGHT. AND SO I BELIEVE PAVILION NUMBER TWO IS THE TALLER ONE OF THE TWO. CORRECT. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THAT'S 80,000 POUNDS. OH THAT'S 80,000 POUNDS. YEAH. YEAH. JUST THAT LARGER ONE. AND THEN HERE'S A PHOTOGRAPH OF WHAT THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION WOULD LOOK LIKE. AND SO YOU CAN KIND OF GET AN EFFECT OF, YOU KNOW, JUST WHAT THIS ART INSTALLATION WILL ESSENTIALLY LOOK LIKE IF INSTALLED AT THE SUNLIGHT TRANSIT HUB. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND HERE'S THE BUDGET. THE PROPOSED BUDGET WOULD BE A TOTAL OF $183,000 AND SOME $183,333. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE BUDGET THAT INCLUDES JUST WHAT IT TAKES TO ACTUALLY BRING THE ART, THE ART, THE PUBLIC ART SCULPTURE OVER TO THE CITY OF COACHELLA AND THE INSTALL AND THE LABOR, YOU KNOW, THAT IS NEEDED TO INSTALL SUCH A VERY HEAVY AND ART PIECE. RIGHT? 80,000 POUNDS IS ONE OF THEM, AND THE OTHER ONE PROBABLY WEIGHS ABOUT THE SAME. YEAH, YEAH. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. IT'S A SPECIALIZED 300 TON CRANE. OH MY GOODNESS. WOW. SPECIALIZED CRANE. THANK YOU FOR THAT, RAFI. AND SO HERE HERE ARE ADDITIONAL JUST PHOTOGRAPHS THAT KIND OF DEPICT REALLY GOOD LIKE WHAT THE STRUCTURE REALLY LOOKS LIKE UP CLOSE. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THEN HERE'S TO GIVE YOU SOME SCALE WITH PEOPLE IN THE IN THE BACKGROUND SO YOU CAN SEE HOW BIG THEY ARE. NEXT SLIDE. AND THEN HERE IT IS AGAIN JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE IN THE DAYTIME. NEXT SLIDE NIGHTTIME NEXT SLIDE. AND THEN HERE'S THE PROPOSED SITE WHERE THE ART PIECE WOULD GO. THIS IS THE SUNLINE TRANSIT HUB.

AND SO WE ARE THINKING IT WOULD BE INSTALLED RIGHT WHERE THE BLUE SQUARE IS, YOU KNOW, CIRCLING THE AREA. THE PROPOSED PROJECT INSTALL AREA. NEXT SLIDE. AND SO HERE'S SOME SOME OF THE RENDERINGS ABOUT LIKE HOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO GO ABOUT DOING THIS. AND SO I, I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK TO THIS BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST TECHNICAL. SO WE'LL KEEP GOING. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

AND SO THIS IS WHAT MORE OR LESS WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF YOU HAD LIKE AN AERIAL OF THE INSTALLS. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THEN HERE WE ARE WHEN YOU PLACE THE ACTUAL SCULPTURES. AND THEN THERE'S A LITTLE HUMAN THERE TO GIVE YOU AGAIN A LITTLE BIT OF SOME SCALE. SO IT WOULD GO RIGHT THERE ON THAT CORNER ON FOURTH AND CESAR CHAVEZ STREET. NEXT SLIDE. ANOTHER RENDERING. NEXT SLIDE. AND THEN HERE'S AGAIN ANOTHER VIEW OF HOW THE SCULPTURES WOULD CREATE SEATING SPACES AND THEN ULTIMATELY SHADING. NEXT SLIDE AGAIN. JUST ANOTHER ANOTHER RENDERING OF HOW IT COULD LOOK FROM THE STREET. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. AND THEN HERE ARE SOME OF THE SEATING

[00:35:02]

AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION. AND WE JUST WANTED TO GET DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL ON HOW TO MOVE THIS ITEM FORWARD. AND SOME FEEDBACK. THANK YOU SELENA AND RAFI IS THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM JUST A QUICK QUESTION. THIS IS BEING PAID THROUGH THE REMAINING FUNDS FROM SUNLINE, RIGHT. OR ARE WE PAYING AS A WHOLE, AS A CITY? THIS WOULD THIS WOULD ACTUALLY COME FROM OUR ARTS IN PUBLIC PLACES. AND THIS WAS BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF COUNCIL WAS AWARE OF THIS. SO I WANTED TO BRING IT TO THE COUNCIL'S ATTENTION SO THAT ALL OF THE COUNCIL KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THE IMPACT TO BUDGET, AND THEN IT ALSO WOULD NEED TO GO TO THE ARTS COMMISSION AS WELL. YOU KNOW, I PASSED BY THERE AND PEOPLE REALLY UTILIZE THAT, THE TRANSIT HUB, BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN VERY CENTRAL, I THINK RIGHT IN THE SHADE THAT THE STRUCTURES HAVE ARE GREAT. AND I THINK THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PIECE TO FINISH OFF BOTH CORNERS. RIGHT. YOU HAVE THE CORNER ON ON SIXTH STREET AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THIS ONE I HAVEN'T, I HAVEN'T I REMEMBER THESE A LONG TIME AGO, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN THE PICTURES OF THEM IN A WHILE, SO. AND THEY WOULD BE LIT UP LIKE THAT TOO AS WELL. YEAH. YEAH. OKAY. YEAH. WE WOULD TRY TO SIMULATE HOW WE HAD IT SET UP FOR THE FESTIVAL AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE. OKAY. AND THEN THEY WOULDN'T. THE IF THEY GET TO, YOU KNOW, FOR SOME REASON THEY GET VANDALIZED TAGGED. ARE THEY EASILY CLEANABLE OR ARE THEY IN A. YEAH. YEAH. THE MATERIAL. I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT THE MATERIALS IT'S CONCRETE. OKAY. WE CAN FIND LIKE A GRAY TO MATCH OKAY IF NEEDED. OKAY. THOSE ARE JUST MY QUESTIONS BUT IT'S I THINK IT'S A IT'S GREAT FOR THIS SITE AND SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE IT'S ALSO THERE'S A TON OF SEATING INTEGRATED INTO IT.

YEAH. SO IT'S VERY SPECIFIC. SO A LOT OF SPACE TO REST. IT'S ACTUALLY LIKE A LIVING PIECE OF ART. SO THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS. WHAT IS OUR BUDGET RIGHT NOW BILL. IF WE IF WE WERE TO APPROVE THIS, WHAT IS THE BUDGET CURRENTLY AT RIGHT NOW WE WOULD WE HAVE 200,000 AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE OTHER AMOUNT BECAUSE WE REALLY HAVE 400 AND SOMETHING THOUSAND. BUT THE OTHER FUNDS HAVE BEEN COMMITTED TO OTHER ART PROJECTS ALREADY. AND SO WE JUST HAVEN'T, YOU KNOW, COMPLETED THOSE COMMITMENTS. SO IF THIS WAS TO BE APPROVED, IT WOULD LEAVE US WITH PROBABLY VERY LITTLE UNTIL MAYBE THE NEXT YEAR. CORRECT? YES. YEAH. BECAUSE WE ONLY COLLECT THIS WHEN WE HAVE DEVELOPMENT COME IN AND THEY PAY A DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE THAT REPLENISHES THIS FUND. SO OUR FUND WOULD HAVE A ZERO FUND BALANCE AT THE END OF THIS.

OKAY. AND 183 WOULD BE THE ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM AS WELL 183 183,000. IN TERMS OF THE BUDGET LIKE THAT, THAT'S INCLUDING A CONTINGENCY. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO THE ART. AND I KNOW THAT YOU'VE TAKEN A LOT OF DEDICATION INTO THIS, THESE PIECES AS WELL. MY CONCERN IS, IS 123,000. AND I HAVE TO BE BE HONEST, BECAUSE 123,000 FOR JUST ONE ART PIECE IN A CITY THAT'S STILL NEEDS A LOT OF LOVE AND, YOU KNOW, IMPROVEMENTS AND, YOU KNOW, BEAUTIFICATION IS MY QUESTION IS THAT IF WE HAVE 200,000 LEFT IN THIS ACCOUNT, WHAT OTHER PROJECTS, WHAT OTHER LOCATIONS CAN WE PROVIDE ART? CAN WE PROVIDE ANYTHING ELSE THAT BEAUTIFIES MANY DIFFERENT AREAS IN THE CITY? YOU KNOW, WHEN I LOOK AT WHEN I DRIVE INTO THE CITY, WE LET ME JUST BACK UP A BIT. WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES THAT GO THROUGH CESAR CHAVEZ BOULEVARD EVERY SINGLE DAY THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND VARIOUS HOURS, AND I SEE THE ENTRANCE TO OUR CITY ON BOTH SIDES, AND IT NEEDS A LOT OF ATTENTION. YOU KNOW, IT NEEDS IT NEEDS SOMETHING THAT ATTRACTS PEOPLE INTO OUR CITY. I JUST DON'T KNOW IF ONE LOCATION, ONE CORNER IS SHOULD BE SPENT.

123,000 TO 187,000. WE ARE A SMALL BUDGET CITY AND WE ARE LOOKING AT A LOT OF BUDGET CHALLENGES IN THIS FISCAL YEAR AND THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEARS AS WELL. FOR ME, AND THIS IS AND

[00:40:02]

WE'RE A LOW INCOME WORKING FAMILY COMMUNITY WHERE I THINK THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS MAYBE 3030. I THINK IT'S A BIT 35, 35,000, 35,000. AND I WANT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND. AND THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, TO THE ARTISTS AND PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS IN THE WRONG WAY AT ALL. BUT, YOU KNOW, THE MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN COACHELLA IS 35,000. AND YET WE'RE GOING TO APPROVE AN ART PIECE UP TO 187,000. THAT'S ABOUT MAYBE WHAT SEVEN PEOPLE MAKE IN THE CITY OF COACHELLA. AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SPEAK TO IT. AND WHEN I CAN'T SPEAK TO SOMETHING, IT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE. AND I CAN'T SPEAK TO THIS. AND AGAIN, THE ART PIECES ARE, YOU KNOW, EXEMPLARY. THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR, FOR YOURSELF AND, AND MANY ARTISTS BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF ATTENTION AND DETAIL AND TIME AND IT'S WELL THOUGHT OUT. I JUST DON'T THINK THAT WE CAN AFFORD THIS TYPE OF ART PIECE. AND JUST ONE CORNER.

BILL, WHAT ARE THE. SO WE HAVE 200,000 LEFT IN THE ACCOUNT. SO AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS GUYS I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN IT A BIT IS THAT IT'S HARD TO PROJECT DIFFS BECAUSE WE CAN'T CONTROL THE DEVELOPMENT. SOMETIMES IT SLOWS DOWN. SOMETIMES YOU KNOW IT INCREASES. SO IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE AT WITH THIS ACCOUNT A YEAR FROM NOW OR TWO YEARS FROM NOW. SOME YEARS IT'S VERY SUCCESSFUL AND SOME YEARS IT SLOWS DOWN A BIT. SO IT'S A BIT CHALLENGING SOMETIMES TO PROJECT IT ACCURATELY. BILL, WHAT ARE OTHER WAYS THAT WE CAN USE THE $200,000? OR HOW ELSE CAN WE USE THIS ACCOUNT FOR. IT'S A SPECIAL REVENUE. SO IT CAN ONLY BE USED FOR ART, BUT WE CAN USE IT FOR MURALS. WE CAN USE IT IN OTHER PARKS. WE CAN USE IT FOR ENTRANCES. IT CAN BE USED ALL OVER THE CITY. A CONCENTRATION OF ART ON TWO CORNERS IN THE CITY. WE'VE SPENT QUITE A BIT ON ETHERIA BACK WHEN WE PUT THAT IN AS WELL. SO I UNDERSTAND YOUR YOUR CONCERN ABOUT THE BEING CENTRAL. I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT DEVELOPMENT GOING IN ON THE CORRIDOR CLOSE TO CITY HALL. BUT YOU KNOW, I ALSO UNDERSTAND TOO, THAT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO I WOULD CALL IT SPREAD THE WEALTH WHERE WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR ENTRANCES TO OUR CITY AS WELL. AND SO IF ALSO IF I CAN EXPLAIN TO ANYONE, YOU KNOW, ON ZOOM OR ONLINE, THE FOLKS HERE IS THAT THE TRANSIT HUB THAT WE HAVE IN THE CORNER IS BRAND NEW. IT'S BRAND NEW.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL THERE. IT'S VERY ATTRACTIVE. AND SO WHEN WE'RE SPENDING 123, 187, $200,000, I PREFER TO PUT IT IN PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY THAT NEED ATTENTION AND LOVE, RATHER THAN A BRAND NEW CORNER, AND SUNLINE'S ALREADY COMPLETELY DEDICATED THEIR PART TO THE CITY, SO WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY MORE MONIES FROM FROM SUNLINE. SO THAT'S WHERE I STAND. I DO THINK THAT WHAT NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT FORWARD IS A FOCUS IN AREAS IN THE CITY THAT NEED ATTENTION, THAT ARE 40 YEARS OLD, THAT ARE 50 YEARS OLD, THAT WE CAN START IMPROVING. YOU KNOW, IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO. SO I'M, I'M ASKING IF, YOU KNOW, MY COLLEAGUES, IF THEY SUPPORT THAT AND IF THEY WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. BUT BUT THAT'S WHERE I STAND. I THINK THAT WE NEED TO EXPLORE OTHER STUFF AND PUT A LOT MORE EFFORT INTO THIS AND BE VERY STRATEGIC ABOUT BRINGING IN MONIES AS WELL, AND TOURISM THROUGHOUT THE CITY. YEAH, I AM, I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU BRING UP A GOOD POINT OF, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO LEAVE US AT ZERO. RIGHT? AND WHAT HAPPENS IF WE HAVE THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY WHERE SOMEONE COMES IN AND HAS $20,000 TO DO SOMETHING PROJECT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, I HEAR THE MAYOR PRO TEM COMMENTS AND, YOU KNOW, KNOWING BECAUSE WE'RE, YOU KNOW, WE JUST SAW THE STATE BUDGET TODAY, RIGHT? POTENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, THE STATE BUDGET IS GOING TO HAVE A $12 MILLION DEFICIT. AND WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO

[00:45:03]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. KENDRA. KENDRA STERN.

THANK YOU FOR WAITING FOR MY PRESENTATION TO GET UPLOADED. SO AGAIN, MY NAME IS KENDRA REIF.

I'M THE INTERIM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. AND TONIGHT I'M GOING TO BE PRESENTING THE SIX CYCLE HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE. SO JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON WHAT A HOUSING ELEMENT IS. A HOUSING ELEMENT IS A REQUIRED PART OF EVERY CITY AND COUNTY'S GENERAL PLAN THAT OUTLINES HOW THE JURISDICTION WILL MEET THE HOUSING NEEDS OF ITS CURRENT AND FUTURE RESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY ACROSS ALL INCOME LEVELS. CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES EACH JURISDICTION TO UPDATE ITS HOUSING ELEMENT EVERY EIGHT YEARS. WE'RE CURRENTLY ON THE SIXTH CYCLE. THE SIXTH CYCLE COVERS FROM THE YEAR 2020 21 TO 2029, AND THROUGH THE HOUSING ELEMENT, JURISDICTIONS MUST DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH PROPERTY, ENOUGH PROPERLY ZONED LAND TO MEET THEIR ASSIGNED REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT OR ARENA NUMBERS, OR ADOPT REZONING PLANS TO BE COMPLIANT. SO I WANTED TO PREFACE THAT ON APRIL 30TH, THE CITY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HCD, THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INQUIRING ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE CITY OF COACHELLA'S SIX CYCLE HOUSING ELEMENT. HCD NOTED THAT THE CITY FAILED TO ADOPT A COMPLIANT HOUSING ELEMENT BY ITS SIXTH CYCLE DUE DATE OF OCTOBER 15TH, 2021, AND IS THEREFORE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH HOUSING ELEMENT LAW. HCD IS REQUESTING THE CITY PROVIDE A REVISED AND SPECIFIC TIMELINE FOR ONE. COMPLETING NECESSARY REZONES TO SUBMITTING AN UPDATED DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT IN THREE. OBTAINING COMPLIANCE WITH HOUSING ELEMENT LAW NO LATER THAN MAY 30TH OF THIS YEAR. I ALSO WANTED TO PROVIDE SOME BACKGROUND AS TO WHAT HAS GONE ON FROM 2021 TO PRESENT DAY THAT WAS OUTLINED BY HCD IN THEIR LETTER AS WELL. SO AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, WE'RE ON THE SIXTH CYCLE HOUSING ELEMENT. IT WAS SUBMITTED ON ON SEPTEMBER 28TH, 2021, THE CITY SUBMITTED A DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT TO HCD FOR REVIEW. ON NOVEMBER 24TH, 2021, HCD ISSUED A FINDINGS LETTER TO THE CITY NOTING MULTIPLE REVISIONS NECESSARY FOR THE HOUSING ELEMENT TO BE COMPLIANT WITH HOUSING ELEMENT LAW. ON OCTOBER 11TH, 2022, THE CITY SUBMITTED A SUBSEQUENT DRAFT ELEMENT TO HCD FOR REVIEW. ON DECEMBER 9TH, 2022, HCD ISSUED A SECOND FINDINGS LETTER TO THE CITY, NOTING REVISIONS WERE STILL NECESSARY FOR THE HOUSING ELEMENT TO BE FOUND COMPLIANT WITH HOUSING ELEMENT LAW.

ON JULY 27TH, 2023, HCD ISSUED A THIRD FINDINGS LETTER TO THE CITY, NOTING THE REVISED DRAFT ELEMENT INCORPORATING PRIOR REVISIONS SUBMITTED MET THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS OF HOUSING ELEMENT LAW.

[01:00:03]

WITHOUT POWER, WE CAN'T BUILD HOUSES, WE CAN'T BUILD COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. HOUSES WILL COME THEN COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE TO BE ON THE ROAD OF BEING. WE HAVE TO HAVE POWER AND NOT NECESSARILY INDEPENDENT. I THINK THAT I.D. IS GOING TO PLAY A LARGE PART IN THIS. WE HAVE TO WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER AS MUCH AS WE NEED THEM. THEY NEED US AS WELL. THEY NEED US TO BALANCE THEIR POWER. SO WE WILL COME TOGETHER AND FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION FOR THIS AND DO IT AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE. SO THANK YOU COUNCIL. THANK YOU BILL. THANK YOU RYAN. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF COUNCIL? NO, I JUST THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW, REITERATE THE ACCESS TO POWER BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, ECONOMIC

[01:05:02]

DEVELOPMENT NEEDS AND ENERGY AND SOME OF THE WATER ISSUES. SO KNOW THAT WE TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. AND I WANT ALL OF YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT TOO, IS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE TAKE CARE OF IT, THAT WE HANDLE IT IN THE MOST FINANCIALLY, RESPONSIBLY WAY THAT WE CAN. I'M GOING TO OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS. IF THERE IS ANY COMMENTS FROM ANYONE IN THE. ANYONE IN ATTENDANCE. JASON, DO WE HAVE ANYONE ONLINE? NO HANDS RAISED ONLINE. OKAY. THANK YOU. SCOTT I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO SHARE SOME WORDS OR SURE. MY NAME IS SCOTT BAILEY, CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF STRONGHOLD POWER SYSTEMS. THANK YOU. MAYOR PRO TEM AND COUNCIL, FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT AND ALSO PUTTING FORTH THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH OVER THE LAST, YOU KNOW, EIGHT, NINE MONTHS TO GET TO WHERE WE'RE AT OF SEVEN YEARS OF, OF, OF AN EXTREMELY AMOUNT OF HARD WORK. AND, AND I PERSONALLY CAN ATTEST TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THAT'S BEEN PUT INTO THIS. I BELIEVE WE HAVE DEVELOPED A VERY GOOD, SOLID PLAN THAT THAT IS A COMBINATION OF BOTH, YOU KNOW, SOLVING THE POWER NEED, BUT ALSO BRINGING SOME INDUSTRY TO THE CITY. AND THE TWO COMBINED ARE GOING TO DRIVE, YOU KNOW, A RATE THAT IS LOWER THAN WHAT I IDS CURRENT AND PROPOSED FUTURE RATES ARE.

AND SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A POINT IN TIME THAT, THAT THE CITY OF COACHELLA IS GOING TO STAND OUT AS THE LOWEST POWER COST IN THE ENTIRE COACHELLA VALLEY, AND THAT'S NOT THAT FAR AWAY. AS BILL ATTESTED AND SAID, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THIS TODAY IS HOPEFULLY A VOTE MOVING FORWARD. BUT WE'RE IT'S JUST A BEGINNING AND THERE'S AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF WORK FROM FROM WORKING WITH IT AS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST PRIORITIES, BUT ALSO ENTITLEMENTS AND LAND PROCUREMENTS AND DESIGNS AND PROCUREMENT OF LONG LEAD ITEMS. OUR CURRENT GOAL, WITHOUT ANY ROADBLOCKS OR MY ID, IS THAT WE WOULD BE ENERGIZING A NEW SYSTEM IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2029, AND SO THAT'S AN AGGRESSIVE PROGRAM, BUT IT'S WHAT'S NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO FUEL ECONOMIC GROWTH WITHIN YOUR COMMUNITY. AND SO I WOULD NOT HAVE PUT SEVEN YEARS OF MY LIFE AND A LOT OF MONEY INTO THIS PROGRAM IF I DIDN'T BELIEVE IN TWO THINGS.

AND THE FIRST, THAT'S THE CITY OF COACHELLA AND THE OPPORTUNITY THAT EXISTS FOR BOTH THE CITY AND OF COURSE, OUR, OUR COMPANY AND OUR OUR FAMILY, BUT AND ALSO JUST THE, THE NEED THAT EXISTS IN, IN DOING THE RIGHT THING, YOU KNOW, A DECISION LIKE THIS THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU, IT'S

[01:10:08]

AND I BELIEVE THAT'S THE BIGGEST THING THAT WE BRING TO THE TABLE OF BEING A TRUE PARTNER, THAT THAT WE'RE ALL GOING TO ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES AND WORK TOGETHER AND ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE NEED TO DO AS A TEAM. THANK YOU. SCOTT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. IS THERE A MOTION TO MOVE THIS ITEM FORWARD A MOTION IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND TAYLOR, CAN YOU DO A ROLL CALL? COUNCIL MEMBER. PEREZ.

YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DOCTOR. FIGUEROA. AYE. MAYOR PRO TEM DELGADO. YES. THANK YOU. AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO ITEM NUMBER 33. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE. A LEAGUE SOCCER TODAY? YEAH. NO, THEY'RE NOT PRESENTING. THEY'RE NOT ON THE AGENDA. NO. THEY'RE PROBABLY JUST OUTSIDE I THINK. THEY'RE STILL THERE. SORRY. NO WORRIES I'M HERE FOR YOU. SO GOOD EVENING. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS COLE HETRICK. I'M THE DEPUTY FIRE MARSHAL FOR THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY OFFICE OF THE FIRE MARSHAL ASSIGNED TO THE OFM EAST OFFICE, CURRENTLY COVERING THE CITY OF COACHELLA AS WELL. YOU GUYS ARE GETTING A NEW DEPUTY FIRE MARSHAL HERE VERY SOON, BUT I. I BEAR THE BURDEN OF PRESENTING THIS THIS ITEM FOR YOU AS BROUGHT ON BY THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL HERE. SO THIS PRESENTATION IS IN REGARDS TO THE FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES THROUGHOUT THE STATE, AS WELL AS IN LOCAL RESPONSIBILITY AREAS THAT HAS NOW BEEN IMPOSED. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE OR LET ME SEE IF THIS WORKS. I'M GOING TO GO WITH THE RIGHT. IT IS NOT WORKING THERE. OH THAT'S THE ONE WE NEED. LET'S DO THAT. ALRIGHTY. SO IN THIS PRESENTATION WE'RE EXPLAINING THAT BACK ON MARCH 24TH, THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL RELEASED A PUBLICATION OF A SERIES OF MAPS FOR ALL LOCAL RESPONSIBILITY AREAS IN THE SOUTHERN REGIONS OF THE STATE, WHICH IDENTIFIED INCLUDED AS IN, THAT WAS THE CITY OF COACHELLA. SO COACHELLA, WHICH IS NEW FOR THE CITY, IS HAS IDENTIFIED APPROXIMATELY 7200 ACRES TO BE IDENTIFIED AS MODERATE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONE IN RELATION TO HIGH OR VERY HIGH. SO GOOD NEWS FOR THE CITY IS, IS THERE IS NO HIGH OR VERY HIGH CATEGORIES. IT IS ONLY THE MODERATE CATEGORY. SO SOME OF THIS LANGUAGE THAT YOU'LL SEE IN THIS HERE WILL WE'LL TALK ABOUT SOME INCREASED IMPACTS. SHOULD THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER IDENTIFICATIONS. BUT WITH THE MODERATE IT'S MORE OF JUST AN AWARENESS. SO JUST TO KIND OF BREAK THIS DOWN THERE, WE'VE ALREADY WORKED WITH CITY STAFF TO GET THIS RELATIVELY PUBLISHED ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE THROUGH OTHER PUBLIC OUTREACH, TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW AS BEST WE CAN, THAT THIS IS A NEW ITEM THAT'S BEING ADDRESSED. AND AS WE SEE HERE ON THE SCREEN, THIS IS THE SAMPLE OF THE MAPS. SO ON THE RIGHT HAND IS THE ACTUAL PDF OF THE MAP THAT LAYS IT OUT. AND YOU CAN SEE MAJORITY OF THE REGION IS GOING TO BE IN OUR MOST RURAL MOUNTAIN ELEMENTS, GOING UP TOWARDS LAKE SHIROCCO AND UP THE INTERSTATE TEN CORRIDOR THERE FOR FUTURE ELEMENTS. BUT THERE'S ALSO SOME DOWN AROUND THE COACHELLA VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL AND A COUPLE LITTLE REGIONS IN THAT SOUTHWEST CORNE. ON OUR COUNTY FIRE MARSHAL'S WEBSITE, THERE'S AN INTERACTIVE MAP THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY, VIA THE LINK AT THE CITY'S WEBSITE, TRACKS TO AND TYPE IN AN ADDRESS, MAYBE EVEN A PARCEL NUMBER. IT'LL PINPOINT YOU, AND YOU CAN USE A SLIDER AND SEE WHERE YOU'RE AT IN THAT PROJECTED RANGE THERE. ACCORDING TO THE GOVERNMENT CODE, ALL

[01:15:06]

THEY CAN DO SIMILAR AS THEIR NEIGHBORS IN THE VERY HIGH OR HIGH CATEGORIES. DO SOME DEFENSIBLE SPACE, DO SOME HOME HARDENING PROACTIVELY THEMSELVES, SOME OF THOSE LITTLE BENEFITS, EVEN JUST CHANGING OUT YOUR EMBER SCREENS ON YOUR ATTIC, VENTILATION TO A SMALLER SIZE TO RESIST EMBERS. SMALL COST EASILY LESS THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS, AND YOU CAN HELP IMPROVE THE HARDENING OF YOUR HOME AS WELL. SO SOME THINGS TO CONSIDER THERE.

POSSIBLY. AS WE TALK ABOUT THE WUI CODES, THIS IS JUST ESTABLISHING THE REGULATIONS TO SAFEGUARD THE LIFE AND PROPERTY OF HOMES FROM INTRUSION OF WILDLAND FIRE AND TO PREVENT FIRES FROM SPREADING TO WILDLAND FUELS. SO OBVIOUSLY, OUR BUILDING CODE, RESIDENTIAL CODE, FIRE CODE ARE FOCUSED ON THE STRUCTURE ITSELF. THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL HAS ESTABLISHED A INTERNATIONAL WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE CODE, WHICH THE STATE HAS ADOPTED FOR THIS NEXT CODE CYCLE THAT WILL TAKE EFFECT IN JANUARY 1ST, 2026, THAT BASICALLY, INSTEAD OF HAVING ALL THESE LITTLE SEGMENT CHAPTERS IN THE VARIOUS CODES FIRE CODE, BUILDING CODE, RESIDENTIAL CODE, IT BRINGS IT ALL INTO ONE. SO EVERYBODY HAS ONE PLACE TO GO. MAKES IT MUCH EASIER. SO ADDITIONAL STEPS TO REDUCE WILDFIRE SUSCEPTIBILITY, SOME FURTHER BREAKDOWN THERE AS THERE'S NOT A CONCERN. I'M JUST GOING TO KIND OF BUMP THROUGH THAT AS WELL. THEN WE GET TO SOME GENERALIZED FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. SOME OF THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE IN HERE FOR THE LOCAL JURISDICTION. YOU KNOW, BREAKING THAT DOWN, WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT ZONES ARE ENFORCED WHERE PROPERTY FALLS INTO TWO OR MORE ZONES. SO IN SOME JURISDICTIONS THE MAPPING, FOR WHATEVER REASON, GOES RIGHT BETWEEN A PARCEL RIGHT THROUGH A PARCEL. SO WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THE WORST CASE HAZARD IN THOSE SCENARIOS FOR THAT. SO IF IT WAS MODERATE AND HIGH WE'RE

[01:20:01]

HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT A CASE. SOME LEGISLATION THAT EXPLAINS OUR RESPONSIBILITIES HERE, IDENTIFYING THE MAPS AS WELL AS LRA, AND THEN THAT LOCAL JURISDICTIONS CANNOT DOWNGRADE THESE STATE HAZARD LEVELS. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? FOR MYSELF, I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOUR QUESTIONS. SO IN THE STAFF PACKET THERE YOU HAVE THE ORDINANCE 1224 FOR CONSIDERATION. ESSENTIALLY THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST READING FOR THAT. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ORDINANCE, SIMPLY ADOPTED THE MAPS AS THEY ARE. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE ONE MORE SESSION. CORRECT? CITY MANAGER. YES. AND THE NEXT ONE, THE SECOND READING, WILL JUST BE ON CONSENT. PERFECT. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL? YOU'VE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB. THEY HAVE NO QUESTIONS. VERY INFORMATIVE. AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. SO OKAY. ARE THERE ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS IN THE AUDIENCE OR ANYONE ONLINE. NO. NO ONE ONLINE OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. IS THERE A MOTION TO MOVE IT FORWARD. MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 1224 ADOPTING THE FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES AS RECOMMENDED BY THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND FIRE PROTECTION PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 51178.

FIRST READING. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL GO AHEAD AND SECOND. COUNCIL MEMBER BETTIS.

YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DOCTOR. FIGUEROA. AYE. MAYOR PRO TEM DELGADO. YES. THANK YOU. NOW, MOVING ON TO ITEM 34. I'M SORRY, WE'RE MOVING. AGENDA ITEM 34. NOW FOR LIKE TWO, THREE MEETINGS TO THE NEXT SCHEDULED REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING. AND WE'RE MOVING ON TO NOW 35. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU. COUNCIL ONCE. ONE MINUTE. OKAY, SO I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2025 DASH 20, ADOPTING THE SPEED HUMP POLICIES, GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES. TO GIVE SOME BACKGROUND, AT THE CURRENT TIME, THE CITY OF COACHELLA DOES NOT HAVE A FORMAL ADOPTED POLICY FOR SPEED BUMPS AND SPEED BUMPS OR ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES. CURRENTLY, THE PROCESS WE HAVE IS RESIDENTS CAN COMPLETE A PETITION FOR SPEED HUMPS, INSTALLATION AND THEN ENGINEERING REVIEWS THAT. BUT THE INSTALLATION, IT'S CURRENTLY DISCRETIONARY, SO WE LACK A FORMAL APPROVAL PROCESS. WE LACK FORMAL PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES TO GUIDE STAFF ON WHEN WE SHOULD BE APPROVING SPEED BUMPS. AND WE SHOULDN'T. SO GOING INTO MORE BACKGROUND IN 2022, WHEN WE UPDATED THE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE, WE DID ADOPT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED ALL OF THE PROVISIONS AND APPENDICES OF THE 2022 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE PER ORDINANCE 1201. IN THAT FIRE CODE AS IT IS ADOPTED, IT ACTUALLY DOES STATE THAT THE CITY FIRE MARSHAL HAS THE APPROVING AUTHORITY OVER THE INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES AND SPEED HUMPS, SO AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, WHEN CITY STAFF RECEIVE THE SPEED HUMPS, WE WORK WITH THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE. WE WORK WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, WE WORK WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES THAT ARE COMING AND PUTTING THESE REQUESTS IN. BUT WE TRY TO WORK TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS AND KIND OF ADDRESS THE CONCERNS OF FIRE AND THE RESIDENCES. WHEN WE CONSIDER WHERE SPEED HUMPS CAN BE PLACED. SO MOVING FORWARD, CITY STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE BEST APPROACH TO ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF BOTH EMERGENCY SERVICES AND THE RESIDENCES IS TO RESIDENTS IS TO HAVE AN OFFICIAL ADOPTION OF A CITY OF CALIFORNIA, CITY OF COACHELLA

[01:25:07]

BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE TO COUNTER THAT WITH OUR EMERGENCY SERVICE NEEDS AS WELL. WHEN WE PUT TOO MANY SPEED BUMPS IN A COMMUNITY, IT LEADS TO INCREASED RESPONSE TIMES. FOR EMERGENCY SERVICE VEHICLES, IT LEADS TO INCREASED WEAR AND TEAR ON VEHICLES. IT ALSO LEADS TO INCREASED TRANSPORT TIME FOR MEDICAL TO THE MEDICAL FACILITIES. SO ONCE AN AMBULANCE PICKS YOU UP AND THEY HAVE TO GET YOU TO THE HOSPITAL AS FAST AS THEY CAN, IF THEY'RE HAVING TO SLOW DOWN FOR THOSE SPEED HUMPS, YOU KNOW THAT SLOWS DOWN THAT RESPONSE TIMES. AND THEN THE DECREASED EFFECTIVENESS IS ANOTHER THING THAT HE HAD MENTIONED. WHEN YOU'RE IN THE BACK OF AN AMBULANCE, YOU'RE TRYING TO DO CHEST COMPRESSIONS. YOU'RE TRYING TO PUT IT IV IN SOMEONE'S ARM. YOU KNOW, HAVING TOO MANY SPEED BUMPS IN AREAS WITHOUT HAVING THOSE GUIDELINES AND POLICIES THAT DECREASES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THEIR WORK WHILE THEY'RE IN THOSE EMERGENCY VEHICLES. SO KIND OF LOOKING AT THESE DIFFERENT, VARYING NEEDS FROM THE EMERGENCY SERVICES AND FROM THE REQUESTS THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM OUR COMMUNITIES, THE CITY STAFF, WE REVIEWED A LOT OF ADOPTED SPEED POLICIES THAT OTHER CITIES HAVE ADOPTED, KIND OF LOOKED AT WHAT ARE THE POLICIES THAT OTHER OTHER CITIES HAVE, WHAT ARE THEY ADOPTING? AND WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TRAFFIC CALMING GUIDE. SO CITY STAFF, WE DO BELIEVE THAT SPEED HUMPS SHOULD STILL HAVE A PLACE IN THE CITYWIDE EFFORTS FOR ADDRESSING THE COMMUNITY CONCERNS. IT'S SOMETHING OUR COMMUNITY BRINGS TO US ALL THE TIME, AND WE WANT TO LISTEN TO OUR COMMUNITY AND KIND OF ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SEEKING ALTERNATIVE TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TRAFFIC CALMING GUIDE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GUIDELINES AS MUCH AS WE CAN. SO AS WE LOOK LIKE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVE TO SPEED HUMPS. ONE OF THE. SOME OF THE THINGS ARE THROUGH THE GUIDE AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT, ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, IS MEDIANS WORK GREAT FOR TRAFFIC CALMING RATHER THAN SPEED HUMPS. SO WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT COLLECTOR STREETS, WE'RE LOOKING AT ARTERIALS. WE'RE LOOKING AT MAIN STREETS.

ADDING MEDIANS CAN BE A HELP. THAT'S SOMETHING WE DID ON AVENUE 53. WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF DANGEROUS DRIVING ON AVENUE 53. PREVIOUSLY PEOPLE WERE USING IT FOR DRAG RACING. THOSE DONUTS THAT I SHOWED YOU ON THE PREVIOUS PICTURE, THAT WAS AVENUE 53. AND A LOT OF THAT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN IMPROVED AFTER WE PUT IN NARROW MEDIAN. ONCE YOU NARROW THAT STREET, ONCE YOU DO THAT ROAD DIET THAT PREVENTS THAT RACING, THAT PREVENTS THE DONUTS, THAT PREVENTS SOME OF THE RECKLESS DRIVING THAT WE'RE GETTING COMPLAINTS ABOUT. WE ALSO PUT ALL THE MEDIANS DOWN AVENUE 52. WE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES BETWEEN CESAR CHAVEZ AND SHADY LANE, WHERE PEOPLE WERE USING THE CENTER LANE AS A PASSING LANE AND JUST FLYING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SO PUTTING THOSE MEDIANS, YOU KNOW, THAT SLOWS PEOPLE DOWN AND IT KIND OF IMPROVES THE SAFETY BY OTHER MEANS OTHER THAN SPEED BUMPS. SO BEFORE YOU MOVE ON, SO LIKE FREDERICK STREET IN FRONT OF THE PARK. YES. THAT'S DIFFERENT. RIGHT. BECAUSE IT'S IN A PARK. IS THAT THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE SPEED BUMPS THERE. YES. SO THAT WAS A THAT HAPPENED BEFORE MY TIME HERE.

YEAH. THAT IS A COLLECTOR STREET. SO TYPICALLY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE THOSE PLACED. YEAH THAT'S WHAT I WAS WONDERING. JUST ASKING. BUT THIS THIS POLICY IS FOR NEW SPEED BUMP REQUESTS. WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING REMOVING ANY EXISTING SPEED HUMPS OR MAKING ANY MODIFICATIONS TO WHAT'S ALREADY ON THE GROUND. THIS IS SETTING POLICIES AND GUIDELINES FOR NEW REQUESTS THAT COME IN. OKAY. LOOKING AT OTHER ALTERNATIVE TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES, WHEN WE DO LOOK AT SOME NEW COMMUNITIES THAT ARE BUILT, ONE THING THAT WORKS GREAT IS THE ROAD DIET. THAT'S WHERE YOU INTENTIONALLY NARROW STREETS. YOU CAN HAVE ALTERNATIVE PARKING PATTERNS WHERE YOU HAVE PEOPLE KIND OF SHIFT WHAT SIDE OF THE STREET THEY PARK ON. THESE ARE ALL KIND OF THINGS THAT SLOW PEOPLE DOWN IN A COMMUNITY. A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS IS SIXTH STREET AND SIXTH STREET. BEFORE WE DID THE PUEBLO VIEJO BEAUTIFICATION, IT WAS REAL WIDE AND PEOPLE WERE KIND OF FLYING DOWN THE SIXTH STREET CORRIDOR. WE'VE NARROWED ALL THOSE INTERSECTIONS. WE'VE DONE THE BULB OUTS WITH ALL THE INTERSECTIONS ONLY BEING THE MINIMUM 24FT. PEOPLE HAVE TO SLOW DOWN. YOU CAN'T REALLY FLY THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHEN YOU WHEN YOU INTENTIONALLY KIND OF BOTTLENECK IT AT THE INTERSECTIONS. IT DOESN'T IMPEDE OR SLOW DOWN OUR EMERGENCY VEHICLES, BUT IT REALLY HELPS SLOW DOWN THE TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE INTERSECTIONS. HIGH VISIBILITY CROSSINGS, USING PAINT, USING

[01:30:04]

SO IF THERE IS A COMPLAINT IN A COMMUNITY WHERE SOMEONE IS, YOU KNOW, CONSTANTLY SHOOTING THAT GAP AND NOT SLOWING DOWN LIKE THEY SHOULD BE, THEY WOULD BE CROSSING A DOUBLE YELLOW. SO THAT ALLOWS US SOME ENFORCEMENT ABILITY AS WELL WITH THIS DESIGN. SO THIS IS ALL KIND OF A NICE CHANGE IN DESIGN THAT'S GOING TO I THINK HAVE A LOT. YES. IS IT GOING TO BE ASPHALT BASED ONES. ARE THEY GOING TO. THESE WILL BE ASPHALT. YES. NOT THE PLASTIC ONES THAT OTHER CITIES DO. OKAY. YEAH. THE PLASTIC DOESN'T WORK VERY WELL IN THE DESERT. IT IT WEARS OUT A LOT FASTER. YEAH. BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. THOSE AREN'T VERY EFFECTIVE HERE. OKAY. SO WE DO WANT TO STICK WITH THE ASPHALT DESIGN. GOING THROUGH THE, THE POLICIES. SO THE WHOLE POLICY THE GUIDE IS IN THE STAFF REPORT THAT'S KIND OF WANT TO GO THROUGH THE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES THAT ARE LISTED IN THERE. SO RIGHT NOW THE SPEED HUMPS WOULD ONLY BE INSTALLED UPON RECEIPT OF A PETITION. THE VERIFICATION BY THE CITY ENGINEER THAT ALL THE QUALIFYING CRITERIA AND GUIDELINES HAVE BEEN SATISFIED. AND WE WOULD THEN SEND THAT TO THE FIRE MARSHAL FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT. AND I DO WANT TO COMMENT THAT THE CITY COUNCIL, WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT CITY COUNCIL HAS THE FINAL APPROVAL AUTHORITY OVER ALL SPEED HUMPS ON PUBLICLY MAINTAINED ROADS. SO THE WAY THE CODE IS RIGHT NOW, IT GIVES THAT AUTHORITY TO THE FIRE MARSHAL.

SO WITH THIS RESOLUTION, WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT WE REST THAT AUTHORITY WITH THE CITY COUNCIL FOR BEING ABLE TO APPROVE IT. SO YOU'RE PUTTING IT ON US. WE DO ALL THE REVIEW. WE WILL BRING IT TO YOU ONLY IF WE AGREE THAT ALL THE POLICIES AND GUIDELINES ARE MET. SO GOING DOWN TO THE END, I MEAN, WHERE THAT WOULD COME INTO PLAY IS IF A RESIDENT WANTED TO APPEAL. SO IF THE ENGINEERING OR FIRE DEPARTMENT DENIED IT FOR SOME REASON BECAUSE IT DIDN'T MEET GUIDELINES, WE WANT TO GIVE THE RESIDENTS THE ABILITY TO APPEAL TO CITY COUNCIL. SO YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO SOMEONE'S APPEAL AND STILL APPROVE A SPEED BUMP. IF A COMMUNITY HAD A GOOD REASON WHY THEY THINK IT WOULD FIT. THE SPEED HUMPS, THEY'LL BE DESIGNED. THEY'LL ONLY BE INSTALLED WITH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPROVED STANDARDS AT THE TIME. AND THEN WE HAVE THE NOTE IN THERE THAT SPEED HUMPS ARE STILL CONSIDERED AN EXPERIMENTAL ROAD FEATURE. SO WE'RE RESERVING THE RIGHT TO DO ADDITIONS, ALTERATIONS OR REMOVALS OF ANY SPEED BUMP AT ANY TIME. AND THEN ALSO THIS PETITION WILL ALLOW PEOPLE TO REQUEST TO REMOVE SPEED HUMPS.

SO IT DOES GO BOTH WAYS. IF THERE'S A CURRENT STREET WHERE NEIGHBORS THINK THEY HAVE TOO MANY SPEED HUMPS, I WELCOME YOU TO TURN IN A PETITION. WE'RE HAPPY TO REMOVE THEM FOR YOU AS

[01:35:03]

AND THERE CAN BE NO MORE THAN ONE LANE IN EACH DIRECTION. THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT IS 25MPH. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BE APPROVED, THE WIDTH OF THE STREET CAN'T BE MORE THAN 40FT WIDE. THE GRADE OF THE STREET CAN'T BE MORE THAN 8%. I DON'T THINK THAT APPLIES TO A SINGLE STREET THAT'S IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT MIGHT BE APPLY WHEN WE START DEVELOPING IT TO MORE STEEP AREAS. AND THEN WE ALSO SPECIFICALLY DEFINED IT JUST SO IT'S VERY CLEAR WE DID DEFINE IT. WE REFERENCED THE GENERAL PLAN AND SAID THAT IT IS SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL AND URBAN RESIDENTIAL STREETS. SO ONLY STREETS WITH THOSE DESIGNATIONS WOULD ACTUALLY QUALIFY FOR SPEED BUMPS. WE DO NOT WANT TO BE PUTTING SPEED BUMPS AGAIN ON COLLECTOR STREETS OR INDUSTRIAL STREETS OR ARTERIALS. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE COMMENT ON THERE THAT THE AVERAGE MAXIMUM DAILY TRAFFIC IS 1909, WHICH WOULD APPLY TO ANY STREET THAT'S LISTED SUBURBAN, RESIDENTIAL, URBAN, RESIDENTIAL ANYWAY. FOR THE PROCEDURES, OUR REQUEST WOULD BE MADE BY A FORMAL PETITION. THEY WOULD BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY. CITY ENGINEER WOULD CONFIRM THAT IT MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS, THAT IT'S THE 500 FOOT LONG THAT WE HAVE. 70% OF RESIDENTS ON THE STREET SIGN THE PETITION. AND THEN AFTER WE KIND OF CONFIRM THAT ALL THE BASIC GUIDELINES ARE MET, WE WOULD OBTAIN ANY NECESSARY TRAFFIC DATA. WE WOULD LOOK AT TRAFFIC VOLUMES, WE WOULD LOOK AT ANY SPEEDS OR ACCIDENT HISTORY IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. WE'D MAKE SURE THAT IT MEETS ALL THE CRITERIA, AND THEN WE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT WE ALWAYS SEND IT TO THE FIRE MARSHAL FOR REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL AS WELL. AND THEN HERE'S EVERYTHING ABOUT THE APPEAL. IF THE SPEED HUMP REQUEST WILL BE PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL, ONCE WE DETERMINE IT HAS MET ALL THE CRITERIA, AND THEN IF ANY CRITERIA ARE NOT SATISFIED, THEN WE WOULD NOT ADVANCE IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL UNLESS THE CITIZENS FILED A FORMAL APPEAL. AS FAR AS PUTTING THE AUTHORITY WITH YOU GUYS, HOPEFULLY A LOT OF THESE WOULD BE CONSENT ITEMS WHEN THEY MOVE FORWARD, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A VERY FORMAL ADOPTED POLICIES, PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES. SO BEING ABLE TO PUT THESE ON CONSENT WHEN WE MOVE FORWARD WOULD BE WOULD BE NICE. JUST KIND OF LOOKING AT WHAT THE FORMS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

THE PETITION LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO HOW IT'S ALWAYS LOOKED. AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL PAGE THAT WE'RE ADDING TO THE PETITION INCLUDES ALL THE QUALIFYING CRITERIA. SO THAT GIVES OUR STAFF GOOD GUIDANCE ON MAKING SURE WE'VE CHECKED OFF ALL THE DATA, MAKING SURE THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED THAT IT MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS, AND THEN ALSO ITEM NUMBER EIGHT, MAKING SURE THAT THE FIRE MARSHAL HAS HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THEM AS WELL. FOR THE DESIGNS, WE'RE UPDATING ALL OF OUR SPEED BUMP DESIGNS AND STANDARDS. SO THIS IS JUST KIND OF IN CONFORMANCE WITH WHAT MOST OTHER CITIES HAVE FOR THEIR SPEED BUMP DESIGNS. SO WE HAVE THE STANDARD LAYOUT THAT IS NOW A NEW STANDARD THAT WE WOULD BE ADDING, AND THEN WE WOULD BE ADDING THE NEW STANDARD FOR THE MODIFIED SPEED BUMP WITH THE WHEEL GAPS. SO WITH ALL THAT SAID, KIND OF LOOKING AT THE PETITIONS THAT WE HAVE ON DECK RIGHT NOW FOR SOME OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE COME FORWARD THIS CYCLE. SO. WE ALWAYS GET A LOT OF SPEED BUMP REQUESTS WITH ALL OF OUR MEETINGS. A LOT OF THEM ARE FOR ARTERIALS AND COLLECTORS. THOSE GET DENIED RIGHT AWAY, BUT A LOT OF THEM THEY DO HAVE MERIT, SO WE'D LIKE TO ADVANCE THEM. THE FIRST ONE IS WITHIN THE AVENTINE COMMUNITY. FOR THIS COMMUNITY, WE ARE RECOMMENDING. SO YOU CAN'T QUITE SEE ON THIS PICTURE, BUT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF CAPITOLA AND ON THE EAST SIDE OF OCEANA, THAT'S A BIG PARK AREA.

I DID DO INSPECTIONS OF THIS DURING WORK HOURS. I ALSO WENT AFTER WORK HOURS AND DID INSPECTIONS HERE, AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC THAT'S VERY POPULAR. PARK KIDS ON BIKES, LOTS OF PEOPLE WALKING THEIR DOGS. THERE'S A LOT OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC IN THIS CORNER TIED TO THAT PARK. AND THEN I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A BUS STOP THERE AS WELL. SO WE DO WANT SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING THE TWO SPEED HUMPS AT THAT CORNER JUST SO WE CAN

[01:40:02]

[01:45:02]

ANDREW HAS BEEN A VERY EXCEPTIONAL IN HELPING COMMUNICATE THESE CONCERNS AS AS WE HAVE KNOWN THAT COACHELLA HAS HAD A GREAT NUMBER OF INSTALLATIONS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE WANTED TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION AND SEE HOW WE COULD MEET THE INTENT OF MANY OF THE CONCERNS OF THE CONSTITUENTS HERE IN THE IN THE CITY, AS WELL AS CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES TO THESE TYPE OF ACTIVE TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES. SO HE FOUND SOME GREAT RESEARCH AS FAR AS SOME OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. SO MAYBE EVEN AS THESE PETITIONS COME IN, IT COULD BE A DISCUSSION OF CAN WE CONSIDER SOMETHING ELSE? IS THERE SIGNAGE OR STRIPING? IS THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS TO BE CONSIDERED, MAYBE EVEN MORE LESS COST IMPACTFUL AS WELL. SO WE'RE SUPPORTIVE OF THE ENDEAVOR. THE MAIN GOAL IS TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ANY DELAYS TO OUR RESPONSES. AND BATTALION CHIEF HERE IS ALSO TO KIND OF COMMENT TO THOSE IMPACTS THAT HE'S SEEN HIM AND HIS TEAM HAVE SEEN OVER THE YEARS IN THE REGION. SO FOR THE FOR THE WHEEL GAPS, IT IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR A WHILE. HE'S SAYING, NO, DUDE, I HAVEN'T ASKED YOU UP HERE YET. THIS IS A FIRST TEST. SO FROM AN OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT, WE'RE OPPOSED TO ALL OF THESE, INCLUDING THE WHEEL GAP. THE REASON BEING OUR FLEET IS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 20 AND 1 YEAR OLD. THE ENGINES HAVE DIFFERENT WHEEL GAPS. THE LADDER TRUCK HAS A DIFFERENT WHEEL GAP. IF OUR GUYS ARE ON A TYPE THREE BRUSH ENGINE BECAUSE THEY JUST CAME FROM A VEGETATION FIRE, OR LIKE RIGHT NOW THE GUYS AT STATION 39 ARE ON THEIR BRUSH ENGINE BECAUSE THEIR FRONTLINE ENGINE IS BROKEN DOWN. IT HAS A DIFFERENT WHEEL GAP, DIFFERENT TYPES OF AMBULANCES HAVE DIFFERENT WHEEL GAPS AS FIRE ENGINES CHANGE AND DEVELOP. WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR FLEET, WE CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 20 YEARS AGO VERSUS TODAY. IT'S ONLY GOING TO CONTINUE TO CHANGE. PLUS, AS A PERSON WHO'S DRIVEN A FIRE ENGINE, I CAN TELL YOU THAT AT NIGHT IF I COME AROUND A CORNER AND I SEE YELLOW STRIPING ACROSS THE STREET, FIRST THING I'M DOING IS HITTING THE BRAKES. SO WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S A WHEEL GAP THERE, IF I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT EXACT STREET AND I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE THAT I CAN GO THROUGH IT, I'M STILL GOING TO SLOW DOWN. SO WHEN WE LOOK, FOR EXAMPLE, THE STREET THAT HAD A CUL DE SAC AT THE END, I COUNTED THREE. THAT IS UP TO ON THE MINIMUM SIDE, A MINUTE AND A HALF ADDITIONAL RESPONSE TIME FROM THE TIME THE ENGINE TURNS ONTO THAT STREET, TO THE TIME IT GETS DOWN TO THE CUL DE SAC. NOW, THAT BEING SAID, FROM THE OPERATIONS STANDPOINT, WE KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH TRAFFIC AND THE WAY PEOPLE WILL DRIVE WITHIN THE CITY OF COACHELLA. WE KNOW THAT THE COMPLAINTS, THE REQUESTS ARE THERE. SO WE ARE VERY MUCH SO COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE CITY AND THE CITY ENGINEER ON COMING UP WITH ALTERNATIVES, BE IT RUMBLE STRIPS, BE IT STRIPING, BE IT LIGHTED CROSSWALKS, WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE. BUT FROM AN OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT, WE HAVE VERY SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS, EVEN ABOUT THE SPEED HUMPS WITH THE GAPS IN THEM. THANK YOU, CHIEF KARP. I WAS GETTING THROUGH ALL OF THAT. THANK YOU. SO ONE THING AT A TIME HERE. SO THE SPEED HUMPS THAT THAT ARE THERE NOW, AND I UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THE COMMENTS THAT CHIEF KARP IS SAYING, I'VE, I'M WELL AWARE OF WHAT THE SPEED HUMPS, THE LIMITATIONS TO TIME THAT HAPPENS AND OCCURS. I'M WELL AWARE OF IT. BUT WHAT I AM SPEAKING TO IS THAT THE THAT THE SPEED HUMPS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED IN THE PAST, AT THE VERY LEAST, SHOULD HAVE COME THROUGH WITH SOME TYPE OF THING RATHER THAN NOT HAVING ANYTHING. I'VE ALSO BEEN VERY OPEN ABOUT THAT. I DON'T THINK SPEED HUMPS ACTUALLY REDUCE SPEED TO THE EXTENT THAT IT SHOULD, SO I THINK THEY GO, YOU KNOW, OVER THE SPEED HUMP, YOU KNOW, THEY SPEED UP, GO OVER THE SPEED HUMP, YOU KNOW, SPEED UP AND THEN GO OVER THE SPEED HUMP. I, I DON'T THINK THAT THEY NECESSARILY WORK, BUT I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR, FOR A VERY LONG TIME, AS THAT IS WHAT OTHER ALTERNATIVES WHEN IT COMES TO SPEEDING, BECAUSE THE SPEEDING IS BEYOND THE SPEED HUMPS. LET'S JUST BE HONEST. AND EVERY CITY HAS SPEEDING PROBLEMS, YOU KNOW, NO DIFFERENT THAN THAN THE CITY.

BUT WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE IS I THINK THAT BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN ACCOUNTABILITY, BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T HAD A TRAFFIC DEPUTY IN THE PAST, THAT IT'S GROWN, I THINK, TO A LEVEL THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE. AND THAT'S NOT IN NO WAY SPEAKING POORLY OF OUR RESIDENTS OR ANYONE ELSE. THE FARTHEST THING FROM IT. BUT I THINK BECAUSE THERE HASN'T BEEN ACCOUNTABILITY, THAT THAT NUMBER

[01:50:02]

BUT WE DON'T WE DON'T PAY FOR THE SPEED HUMPS WITHIN HOA COMMUNITIES. NO, NO, THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE FARM. THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE FIRE MARSHAL FOR APPROVAL OF ANY KIND OF TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES. HOW MANY SPEED HUMPS IN TOTAL ARE ARE YOU COMING FORWARD WITH? THERE WAS FIVE TOTAL IN BELLISSIMA, TWO IN AVENTINE, TWO IN LEANDRO AND ONE ON LAS PLUMAS. AND THEN HOW MANY PETITIONS ALTOGETHER? EVEN THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN REJECTED? HOW MANY TOTAL? I DON'T KNOW, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. THE LOT. YEAH, IT'S I MEAN ALMOST EVERY MEETING I GET A PETITION. I JUST COUNT HOW MANY MEETINGS I'VE HAD, AND I'VE HAD THAT MANY, PLUS FIVE MORE. WE GET THEM CONSTANTLY. SO, I MEAN, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH WHAT CHIEF KARP IS SAYING. THE GOAL OF THIS IS TO LIMIT, TO SET, TO SET LIMITATIONS, TO SET POLICIES AND GUIDELINES. SO WE'RE NOT JUST LIKE THROWING THESE SPEED BUMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE ANYMORE. I MEAN, I THEN RIDE ALONGS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRE AND THEY'RE NO FUN. THEY'RE NO FUN AT ALL. I MEAN, YOU DEFINITELY FEEL IT. YOU DEFINITELY IT SLOWS YOU DOWN. SO I MEAN, THE POLICY GUIDELINES THAT YOU'RE COMING

[01:55:03]

HOA STREETS. SO A LOT OF COMMUNITIES I KNOW, I MEAN, IN MY COMMUNITY, I LIVE IN HOA, WE HAVE TONS OF SPEED BUMPS. THEY'RE ANNOYING, BUT THAT'S OKAY. LISTEN, I, YOU KNOW, I HEAR PUBLIC SAFETY. I KNOW, YOU KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT. I'M ALSO HEARING FROM THE COMMUNITY AND WHAT THEY WANT, YOU KNOW, AND THERE'S ALWAYS A LARGE GROUP, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A LOT OF SIGNATURES. AND IT'S HARD AS A REPRESENTATIVE TO COMPLETELY DENY EVERYTHING. AT LEAST FOR ME IT IS. I CAN TELL THEM THAT FOR ME, IN MY OPINION, THEY DON'T WORK, YOU KNOW, BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS. AND I'VE TRIED MANY, MANY TIMES, YOU KNOW, BUT I DO I DO THINK THAT AS A CITY, IS THAT ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE TO REDUCE SOME OF THE SPEEDING IS THAT I DON'T THINK THAT WE'VE ENFORCED IT ENOUGH, AND I DON'T THINK THAT WE'VE COMMUNICATED THAT MESSAGE ENOUGH. I REALLY DON'T THINK SO. YOU KNOW, SO MEANING, OKAY, YOU KNOW, WE GET SPEEDING IS ONE OF THE TOP COMPLAINTS THAT WE GET FROM RESIDENTS. IT'S I MEAN IT'S ALWAYS AT THE VERY TOP. AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING IT IN MANY WAYS WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE TO THINK, WELL, I GOT TO DO A PETITION, YOU KNOW, LET'S AND THEY'RE WALKING FROM ONE HOUSE TO ANOTHER GETTING PEOPLE TO SIGN THE PETITION SO THEY CAN GET A SPEED HUMP, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW UPSET THEY ARE THAT THEIR KIDS ARE PLAYING IN THEIR FRONT YARD AND THEY'RE SPEEDING VEHICLES. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT, WELL, MANY THINGS, BUT IT REALLY, REALLY UPSETS ME WHEN I SEE PEOPLE THAT ARE SPEEDING BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE'S LIVES. CHILDREN'S ELDERLY, THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES. SO I GET THAT. YOU KNOW WHY IT'S SO URGENT. BUT ALSO, AS A CITY, I FEEL LIKE WE DO HAVE TO START THINKING A BIT MORE OUTSIDE THE BOX. AND HOW DO WE ADDRESS THE SPEEDING? YOU KNOW, THE GETTING A PATROL DEPUTY IS EXPENSIVE, OBVIOUSLY. YOU KNOW, BUT WHAT ARE OTHER WAYS? I MEAN, I DO FEEL THAT WE AND I'VE ASKED THIS BEFORE IS THAT I KNOW THERE'S SOME CITIES WHO DO A LOT OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH, MARKETING, MARKETING ABOUT SPEEDING, ABOUT SLOWING DOWN, SLOWING DOWN, SLOWING DOWN. AND IT MAKES ME FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE THAT EVERY EFFORT HAS BEEN PLACED OUT THERE IN THE COMMUNICATION, HAS BEEN PUT OUT THERE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE IMPACTS OF IT. YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER GOING THROUGH A CITY WHERE YOU HAD A FAMILY AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE BIG BILLBOARDS TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE SPEEDING VEHICLE AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THEIR FAMILY. SO I DO THINK WE HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB OF COMMUNICATING SOME OF

[02:00:04]

BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE THESE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITIES. EVEN WHEN WE'RE GETTING SOME OF THAT GRANT FUNDING, WE ARE ADDRESSING THE SPEEDING QUITE A BIT BY PUTTING CROSSWALKS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND THERE ISN'T ANY SPEED HUMPS THERE. IF I REMEMBER, THERE ISN'T ANY SPEED HUMPS IN ANY OF THOSE. SO I DO HOPE THAT WE START HOLDING THESE FOLKS THAT ARE COMING THROUGH OR WHEREVER OUR STREETS ARE, TO DO A BETTER JOB OF MAINTAINING THEM, AS BILL HAS SAID, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I CAN SEE PUBLIC SAFETY, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. AND I GET IT BECAUSE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO GET TO THESE CALLS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE'S LIVES AT STAKE. IT'S COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE TO. SO I'M TRYING TO DO MY VERY BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING EVERYBODY'S NEEDS, BUT ALSO AT THE CITY THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING AND THAT WE'RE REALLY PUSHING THE SLOWING DOWN IN THE CITY. I SEE THE FIRE, THE FIRE MARSHAL. IF YOU CAN JUST SHARE BECAUSE I SEE YOU NODDING YOUR HEAD. CAN YOU SHARE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT. YEAH, NO, I DEFINITELY SYMPATHIZE WITH YOUR YOUR YOUR ENDEAVORS HERE. REALLY. IN FIRE PREVENTION, WE FOCUS ON THAT EDUCATION COMPONENT HUGELY. SO WHEN A RESIDENT ASKS FOR A PETITION FOR SUCH A TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICE, THAT'S LIKE A SPEED BUMP OR SPEED HUMP OR ANY OF THOSE ELEMENTS, A LOT OF TIMES WE'RE JUST GOING TO WANT TO SAY THERE ARE OTHER ALTERNATIVES. WOULD YOU CONSIDER MAYBE A RADAR SIGN POSTING THE ACTUAL SPEED LIMIT, DOING SOME ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE AND STRIPING IN THE STREET, OR ANY OTHER OF THOSE ELEMENTS THAT REALLY CAPTIVATE THE DRIVER BEFORE WE ACTUALLY CREATE A OBSTRUCTION, SUCH AS A SPEED BUMP OR SPEED HUMP. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THAT THAT ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY HAS BEEN INTERNATIONALLY BEEN PLACED ON THE FIRE MARSHAL. TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNICATE THAT. SO AS FAR AS FOR THE COUNCIL TODAY, MY RECOMMENDATION IS CONSIDER THIS, THIS NEW POLICY GUIDELINE FOR THE BENEFIT OF GIVING THAT CLEARER DIRECTION TO STAFF, MAYBE HOLD OFF ON THE SPEED HUMPS TO LET US HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACTUALLY FOLLOW THIS GUIDELINE, TO CONSIDER THAT REVIEW AND TO GIVE OUR RECOMMENDATIONS, EITHER IN THIS CONTEXT OR CONSIDER SOME ALTERNATIVES. THANK YOU. I'M OKAY WITH THAT. JUST TO GIVE THEM A JUST TO ALLOW THEM TO REVIEW AND GIVE US THE FEEDBACK. IT'S YOU KNOW, I FEEL IT'S ONLY FAIR. THAT'S MY OPINION. BUT SO I'M, I'M NOT OPPOSED TO THE NEW CRITERIA AND TO THE LIMITATIONS OF IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING EVERY EFFORT TO COMMUNICATE TO THOSE WHO ARE PUTTING IN A PETITION OF OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO A SPEED HUMP, KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACTS TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE RESPONSE TIMES TO CALLS. WOULD THAT BE FAIR? THANK YOU. CHIEF KARP. DID YOU WANT TO SHARE SOME WORDS? I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY BECAUSE I REALIZED I WASN'T NECESSARILY THAT CLEAR THE FIRST TIME. WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO THE GUIDANCE FOR STAFF AT ALL. WE UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, FOR STAFF TO HAVE THAT APPROPRIATE GUIDANCE ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE OF SPEED HUMPS, SINCE NOTHING IS REALLY IN PLACE RIGHT NOW OTHER THAN THE CFR, THE STATE CODE, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY WE'RE LOOKING AT WHEN IT COMES TO THAT REVIEW PROCESS, AND WHERE THE OPERATION SIDE OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STANDS IN REGARDS TO THE SPEED HUMPS. BUT WE ARE NOT AT ALL OPPOSED TO THE NEED AND THE APPROVAL OF A PROCESS FOR THAT TO GO THROUGH THE COMMUNITY AND THROUGH STAFF. SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY, IN CASE I WASN'T 100% THE FIRST TIME.

THANK YOU. AND I'M SURE OUR RESIDENTS FEEL THE SAME WAY WHEN IT COMES TO RESPONSE TIMES. SO WITH THAT, I DO ASK IF WE JUST GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON IT. THAT'S THAT'S MY OPINION. I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE REST OF COUNCIL WANTS IF THEY JUST WANT TO MOVE IT FORWARD, BUT JUST SO THAT THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE AND JUST MAYBE PROVIDING SOME ALTERNATIVES, BUT ALSO UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE PETITIONS HAVE BEEN MADE BY RESIDENTS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE RESPECTING THOSE WHO HAVE MET THE CRITERIA. AND SO TO THE FIRE MARSHAL, IS THAT FAIR? DO YOU WANT TO LOOK AT THE STREETS ONE BY ONE, OR DO YOU WANT TO NOT DO ANY OF THE FOUR RECOMMENDED STREETS? NO, NOT AT ALL. I THINK THAT IT SHOULD. I THINK THE STREETS, THE ONES THAT YOU HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT THEY SHOULD, THEY SHOULD COME BACK THE WAY

[02:05:01]

BUT THIS IS THIS IS ONE WHERE JUST IN ORDER TO BE RESPECTFUL TO OUR DEVELOPERS WHO ARE TRYING TO GET THEIR NOTICE OF COMPLETION AND GET THEIR BONDS RELEASED, I SEE, I SEE. OKAY, SPECIFICALLY ON THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. SURE. SO THE OTHER LOCATIONS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED WERE BASED OFF OF PETITIONS. PRIOR TO ANDREW BEING HERE AT THE CITY, IT APPARENTLY HAD BECOME PART OF A IMPOSITION UPON ALL NEW DEVELOPMENTS TO INSTALL THESE AS PART OF FINALIZING STREETS AND FIRE WAS INVOLVED IN THE REVIEW OF THOSE STREET IMPROVEMENT PLANS DURING THE ENTITLEMENT AND ELEMENTS LIKE THAT. BUT IN JUST BRIEFLY LOOKING AT THIS PARTICULAR ONE, THE PLANS THAT WE HAD APPROVED DID NOT INCLUDE ANY TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES. SO AND THAT'S WHERE THAT'S ELEMENT THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. SINCE 2014, THE FIRE CODE HAS SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED THE FIRE MARSHAL FOR AT LEAST REVIEWING AND APPROVING SUCH TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES. SO JUST FOR THE SAKE OF THE COUNCIL, FIRE HAS NOT APPROVED THESE. AND SO THAT'S WHERE YES, THIS WAS A PETITION THAT WAS BEFORE THIS GUIDELINES. BUT THAT'S WHERE YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE DIRECTION FOR STAFF. BUT YOU WEREN'T YOU WERE IN PARTICIPATING WHEN IT CAME TO THE SPEED HUMPS IN THE AREAS. NO, THIS WAS ACTUALLY WHAT TRIGGERED THE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN OUR PARTIES TO, TO REALLY TO BECAUSE WE WERE WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER TO DO THE SIGNING AND STRIPING ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRE LANES AND THE CUL DE SACS TO RESTRICT PARKING WHERE THE STREETS WERE NARROWER. AND THEY'RE LIKE, WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE SPEED HUMPS? WHAT ABOUT THE SPEED HUMPS? SO THAT'S WHERE WE WERE BROUGHT THAT CONVERSATION FORWARD, AND WE REALIZED WE NEEDED TO CONNECT THE T'S AND DOT THE I'S AND HAVE THAT CONVERSATION. BUT NO. BUT THE I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, LIKE THE DEVELOPERS BONDS ARE BASED ON THIS MAP, RIGHT? IS THAT IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO TELL ME, ANDREW, OR IS IT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE RESPECTFUL TO THE DEVELOPER. RIGHT TO, YOU KNOW, NOT HOLD THEM THEIR THEIR STREET IMPROVEMENT PLANS THAT WERE APPROVED AND REVIEWED BY ALL DEPARTMENTS DID SHOW THESE SPEED BUMPS. YES. OKAY. WE'RE CURRENTLY HOLDING THAT UNTIL WE CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. RIGHT NOW, THE DEVELOPER IS STILL WORKING ON THE PROJECT. BECAUSE ANOTHER THING IS SPEED BUMPS COST MONEY AS WELL. WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC FUND, SO SPEED BUMP REQUESTS ARE GENERALLY COME OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND AT A COST OF ABOUT $10,000 APIECE. SO IF THE DEVELOPER. IF THESE DON'T GO THROUGH AND WE DO AN LMD MEETING NEXT YEAR IN THE COMMUNITY, 100% OF THE COMMUNITY SIGNS AND ASK FOR SOME SPEED BUMPS, THAT NOW BECOMES A BURDEN TO THE CITY AS RELATIVE TO THAT COST AS WELL. SO YEAH, I DO UNDERSTAND THAT CONVERSATION. SO MOVING FORWARD, ARE WE SAYING AND I ADDRESS IT TO BOTH OF YOU, IS ARE WE SAYING THAT MOVING FORWARD THAT PUTTING SPEED HUMPS WILL NO LONGER BE A CRITERIA, BUT MAYBE PUTTING ALTERNATIVES TO THE SPEED HUMPS? ABSOLUTELY.

I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH DEVELOPERS TO COME UP WITH ALTERNATIVE METHODS. THIS PROJECT IN PARTICULAR AS WELL WAS AN INFILL LOT. SO THIS IS NOT A THIS ISN'T REALLY A TRUE NEW DEVELOPMENT. THE DESIGN, THE TRACK MAP, THIS WAS A BROWNFIELD LOT THAT HAD BEEN ABANDONED DURING THE HOUSING CRASH. SO THIS THESE IMPROVEMENTS, ALL OF THESE STANDARDS WERE ACTUALLY PRIOR TO 2014 BECAUSE THIS WAS A INFILL, INFILL DEVELOPMENT THAT HAD BEEN ONLY HALF COMPLETED.

[02:10:04]

SO LIKE I AGREE WITH THAT. SO THAT'S MY THAT'S WHERE I'M AT ANDREW. IN THE STREET WHERE THEY'RE ADDRESSING WHERE WE'RE PUTTING 2 OR 3 SPEED HUMPS. I MEAN IT'S 2 OR 3 REALLY NECESSARY IS WHERE THE CUL DE SAC IS. I'M NOT PROPOSING THE ONE AT THE CUL DE SAC. I JUST SHOWED THAT PICTURE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAD REQUESTED WAS THREE. AND WE WOULD BE DENYING THREE BECAUSE THREE IS TOO MANY FOR THAT STREET. CORRECT. SO YES. OKAY.

SO I'M OKAY WITH APPROVING THIS MAP SO THAT THE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE UNDERSTANDABLE OF THE DEVELOPER, BUT ALSO MAKING THE OTHER ONES GET LOOKED AT IF THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE OKAY WITH. I AGREE WITH THAT. OKAY. AND PROBABLY WHEN THE RESIDENTS WERE GOING INTO THE COMMUNITY, THEY WERE PROBABLY TOLD AS WELL OF THE AMENITIES THAT WERE GOING TO COME, PROBABLY SURROUNDING THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL. BUT I, I DO THINK, YOU KNOW, AND RESPECT TO MY COLLEAGUES IS I DO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WHILE, YOU KNOW, I GET IT THAT WE WANT TO HOLD THE AUTHORITY OF, OF SPEED HUMPS, BUT I DO THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IN GOOD FAITH AND IN PARTNERSHIP THAT WE SHOULD BE WORKING WITH THE PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES TO COME UP WITH MORE EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVES TO REDUCING SPEEDING AND ALSO NOT REDUCING RESPONSE TIMES. I THINK IT'S FAIR. I THINK THAT'S THAT'S FAIR BECAUSE THEY ULTIMATELY ARE THE ONES THAT GET. THE SHORTER END OF THE STICK BECAUSE OF THE RESPONSE TIME. AND ULTIMATELY THEY'RE THERE TO SERVICE OUR RESIDENTS AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET TO PEOPLE ON TIME. AND CHIEF KARP DOES THAT MOVING FORWARD THAT WE'RE TRYING TO I'M TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYBODY. YOU KNOW, WHAT WAS THE QUESTION THERE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU GUYS THAT, YOU KNOW, MOVING FORWARD THAT YOU'D BE TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION TO BE COMING UP WITH MORE EFFECTIVE WAYS, ALTERNATIVES TO SPEED HUMPS? I MEAN, ABSOLUTELY. AND ONE OF THE BENEFITS THAT YOU, YOUR CITY IS GOING TO HAVE IS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN IN-HOUSE DEPUTY FIRE MARSHAL HERE TO REPRESENT AND HAVE THAT EASE OF ACCESS, TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH DEVELOPERS AT THE EARLIEST STAGE OF ENTITLEMENT TO, AS WELL AS WITH THE CITY ENGINEER TO TALK ABOUT, HEY, THIS IS WHAT WE'D REALLY LIKE FOR THESE BENEFITS. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, YOUR DENSITIES, AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW, YOUR STRUCTURE COUNT AND STUFF LIKE THAT. AND SO THAT'S WHERE THAT EARLY CONVERSATIONS REALLY HELPS.

BELLISSIMA. AS FAR AS BEING AN INFILL, THERE IS OBVIOUSLY HISTORICAL ENTITLEMENTS AND THINGS THAT WERE ALREADY IN PLACE. AND SO IT'S LIKE, HOW CAN WE SOMEWHAT BANDAID IT TO TRY TO MAKE IT AS REASONABLE AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT MAJOR IMPACT? SO WE APPRECIATE THAT. SO I THINK I HAVE A QUESTION IS IF THE COUNCIL IS CONSIDERING THIS, ACCEPTING THIS POLICIES AND GUIDELINES TO HELP STAFF HAVE UNDERSTANDING. AND THEN WE'LL CERTAINLY WORK FURTHER.

ABSOLUTELY. WHAT I, WHAT I JUST ABSOLUTELY I'M I'M FOR THE LIMITATION AND THE ALTERNATIVES.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IN THERE THAT THAT THE LANGUAGES THAT THAT WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH PUBLIC SAFETY TO COME UP WITH ALTERNATIVE METHODS. AND I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S ALREADY IN THERE. I JUST WANT TO REINFORCE IT. YES. THAT YOU'RE THAT YOU'RE BEING TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION

[02:15:04]

JUST THAT'S ALL I KNOW. CORRECT. AND I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. AND YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS WORKING AT THE RANCHO LAS FLORES PARK. SO MANUEL, YOU'RE ALWAYS SEEING THE SPEEDING VEHICLES AND THEIR SPEED HUMPS THERE. IT DOESN'T SLOW THEM DOWN. IT DOESN'T SLOW THEM DOWN. SO OKAY. SO IS THERE A MOTION TO MOVE, A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ADOPT THE RESOLUTION 2025 DASH 20 WITH THE MODIFICATION THAT WE'RE ONLY GOING TO APPROVE THE BELLISSIMA PROJECT FOR, FOR SPEED BUMPS, AND THAT THE REST OF THOSE SPEED BUMPS WOULD GO BACK TO BE REVIEWED WITH THIS NEW AMENDED POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES. ANDREW, IS THERE OTHER PROXIES OUTSIDE? BELLISSIMA? I SEE YOUR FACE KIND OF. ARE THERE OTHER WHAT ARE THE OTHER COMMUNITIES? I MEAN, IS IT JUST BAESEMA? THAT'S OUR LAST INFILL COMMUNITY. THAT WOULD BE KIND OF LIKE GRANDFATHERED IN.

ANY NEW COMMUNITY SHOULD GO THROUGH A MORE RIGOROUS DESIGN PROCESS AND TRY TO DESIGN THE ROADS, TRY TO DESIGN THE INTERSECTIONS IN WAYS THAT HOPEFULLY PREVENT ANY NEED FOR SPEED BUMPS. OKAY, PERFECT. THANK YOU. IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND. AND THEN CAN YOU DO A ROLL CALL? SURE. COUNCILMEMBER PEREZ. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. DOCTOR FIGUEROA. HI. MAYOR PRO TEM DELGADO. YES. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD, I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT IF THEY REPORT THAT THERE'S PEOPLE RACING, THAT THERE'S PEOPLE DRIVING, IF THEY REPORT IT TO, TO OUR SO TO DISPATCH, THOSE CALLS ARE RECORDED. AND THEN WHEN THEY DO STATS TO LOOK AT STREETS WHERE CARS ARE DRIVING FASTER, THEY CAN ACTUALLY DO MORE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT AND FOCUS ON THOSE CERTAIN STREETS. BUT IF PEOPLE DON'T CALL, THOSE RECORDS AREN'T GOING TO BE ON THERE. AND IT'S NOT GOING TO SHOW THAT THOSE STREETS HAVE A LOT OF CALLS FOR EITHER STREET RACING OR CARS DRIVING RECKLESSLY. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO CALL IT IN SO THAT THERE'S THERE IS A RECORD. AND WHEN THEY DECIDE TO DO TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT, THEY CAN FOCUS ON STREETS THAT THAT HAVE THE MOST CALLS. AND THEN MAYBE ONCE THEY START GETTING TICKETS OR THEIR CARS TAKEN AWAY BECAUSE THEY'RE DRIVING RECKLESSLY, THEY'LL THINK ABOUT IT TWICE.

VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. THAT'S THE ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING SOMEONE WITH THE PUBLIC SAFETY BACKGROUND. IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THE ON. WE'RE I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE FIVE. YEAH. I'M I'M OPENING IT UP. I'M OPENING IT UP. THANK YOU. SO AND I DO WANT TO ADDRESS IT TO YOU GUYS THAT THAT WAS AN ITEM THAT I BROUGHT FORWARD IN THE LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS EXTREMELY UNFAIR TO HAVE YOU GUYS WAITING FOR SO LONG. AND SO IT WAS, IT WAS APPROVED BY FOUR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL. THERE WAS ONE COUNCIL MEMBER THAT DIDN'T WANT TO PUSH IT TO THE FRONT. SO WE KNOW THAT. WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU GUYS ARE HERE FOR TOO

[Public Comments (Non-Agenda Items)]

THANK YOU. MADAM MAYOR PRO TEM, THIS IS MY THIRD OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE CITY COUNCIL. I SERVED WITH MAYOR HERNANDEZ AS A MEMBER OF THE NOW DISBANDED COACHELLA VALLEY ENERGY COMMISSION.

AND EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN DISBANDED, AS YOU MAY KNOW, THAT GROUP HAS NOW MORPHED INTO A NEW JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY THAT IS BEING ADMINISTERED BY THE LEAGUE OF CITIES AND THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE. THE CITY OF LA QUINTA AND A CORONA THUS FAR HAVE BECOME MEMBERS. BUT THAT'S STILL VERY MUCH ON THE TABLE.

SO. NO PODEMOS DAR COMENTARIO Y ESO ES POR EL ABOGADO. RYAN, CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN WHY WE CAN'T MAKE PUBLIC? WHY WE CAN'T RESPOND TO PUBLIC COMMENTS? I'M HAPPY TO. MAYOR PRO TEM THANK YOU. SO UNDER THE BROWN ACT, IT'S REQUIRED THAT WE PROVIDE PUBLIC NOTICE TO EVERYBODY THAT WANTS TO PARTICIPATE. SO PUBLIC COMMENT IS JUST THAT. IT'S FOR THE PUBLIC TO PROVIDE COMMENT TO COUNCIL IF THERE NEEDS TO BE AN IN-DEPTH DISCUSSION AND ACTION TAKEN ON AN ITEM, IT NEEDS TO BE AGENDIZED, IT NEEDS TO BE POSTED ON THE AGENDA, AND WE NEED TO POST THAT 72 HOURS PRIOR TO THE MEETING. SO IN THIS CASE, COUNCIL CAN ENGAGE IN A PROLONGED DISCUSSION SIMPLY BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA. AND RYAN, AM I ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY COMMENTS ARE SO LATE? I KNOW PRO TEM DELGADO ALREADY EXPLAINED IT, BUT I WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND AS TO WHY IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT THAT WE DECIDED. AND BECAUSE PRO TEM BROUGHT IT FORWARD, OUR COMMENTS IN THE NEAR FUTURE WILL NOW BE IN THE BEGINNING AND NOT LIKE THEY ARE NOW. AM I ABLE TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM IN SPANISH? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. OKAY, SO. APENAS SI OKAY, SO NO SÉ SI SI HAY PADRES AQUI PERO HAY UN REGLAMENTO EN EL CONSIGLIO NO PODEMOS AGARRAR COMENTARIOS. HASTA AHORA PRO TEM DELGADO LO MOVIO LA OTRA JUNTA.

REVENUE TO EXPENDITURE GAP. WE'RE WE'RE UPSIDE DOWN $1.9 MILLION. AND THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. WE'RE NOT A BIG CITY. LIKE YOU SAID EARLIER. MAYOR PRO TEM, WE'VE GOT A $39 MILLION BUDGET AND $2 MILLION. THAT'S THAT'S A LOT. YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT LIKE PALM SPRINGS BEING UPSIDE DOWN $2 MILLION. THEY'VE GOT $130 MILLION BUDGET. IT'S NOT QUITE INCREASING INCREASING EXPENDITURES. YES. AND WE HAVE YEAH WE HAVE A STRUCTURAL DEFICIT. SO WE HAVE TO TAKE SOME DRASTIC ACTIONS TO FIX THAT. I'M HOPING IT'S A LONG SHOT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO GET THE BUDGET BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR A STUDY SESSION SOMETIME THE FIRST MEETING OF JUNE, PERHAPS. I HAVE A FEELING IT'S GOING TO BE THE SECOND MEETING IN JUNE, AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO DO A CONTINUING APPROPRIATION AND THEN ADOPT THE BUDGET, THE FIRST MEETING OF JULY, BECAUSE SOME THINGS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ROLL OUT, INCLUDING THE GOLDEN HANDSHAKE, SO I CAN SEE WHERE CUTS NEED TO BE MADE. IT'S A IT'S A TOUGH PROCESS. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHERE WE WERE SOONER, BUT I DIDN'T GET BUDGET INFORMATION BACK FROM MAINLY PUBLIC SAFETY, I WAS NOT EXPECTING THOSE INCREASES. I FOUND OUT RELATIVELY LATE IN THE PROCESS, AND WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY INCREASES LIKE THAT BEFORE IN THE PAST. THIS IS SOMETHING NEW. WE'VE ADDED A LOT OF STAFF IN FIRE, AND SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ABSORB THAT, BUT WE'RE WORKING HARD ON THAT. WE'RE TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO FILL GAPS, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A TOUGH BUDGET SESSION FOR US. BUT I JUST WANTED TO GIVE THE COUNCIL THE HEADS UP ON THAT. BUT YOU WANT TO DO A STUDY SESSION TO ADDRESS THE, THE GAP THAT WE HAVE FROM THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES AND THEN ALSO THE CHALLENGES THAT WERE THAT WERE FACING AND THE DECISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE. AND WE WILL DO THAT. I'LL PRESENT A PRELIMINARY BUDGET TALKING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME SAME THINGS I'M TALKING ABOUT NOW. ACTUALLY, OUR GENERAL FUND REVENUES ARE UP ABOUT $1 MILLION. IT'S JUST THAT BETWEEN SALARIES AND BENEFITS GOING UP, POLICE AND FIRE, WE JUST ONE YEAR AGO HAD A $3 MILLION SURPLUS. AND BECAUSE OF DECISIONS THAT WERE MADE IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO, THAT BUDGET SURPLUS HAS DISAPPEARED. AND NOW WE'VE GOT A DEFICIT. WE'VE ALMOST MADE A $5 MILLION SWING IN JUST ONE BUDGET YEAR. SO NOW WE'RE DEALING WITH THAT. DO YOU WANT TO SCALE THE STUDY SESSION FOR THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING BEFORE? NO, I THINK I WOULD. I'M GOING TO SHOOT FOR TRYING TO GET IT BACK TO YOU A SESSION ON THE 11TH, BUT I DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE INFORMATION IN TIME ENOUGH FROM PURSE. SO I HAVE A FEELING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE THE LAST MEETING OF JUNE AND THEN ADOPTION IN JULY. AND BUT THERE ARE SOME MOVES THAT I WILL NEED TO MAKE THAT I WILL COME BACK TO COUNCIL ON THE 11TH. THAT WILL NEED TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE I NEED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES BEFORE JUNE 30TH AND THEN THE BUDGET YOU'RE PRESENTING. THE BUDGET WHEN IN JULY? I WILL NEED TO MAKE SOME MOVES THOUGH IN JUNE, AND I'VE ALREADY MET WITH THE UNION TO DISCUSS THIS. AND SO I OWE THE UNION SOME INFORMATION TOO. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. THE UNION'S AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.
