YES. HONORABLE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL FOR ITEM 9C.

THE CONTENT OF THE STAFF REPORT IS CORRECT.

THE CONTENT OF THE RESOLUTION IS CORRECT.

HOWEVER, ON THE EXHIBIT TO THE RESOLUTION, THE TABLE ON THE SEPARATE DOCUMENT THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE AT YOUR PLACE THERE, THAT TABLE SHOWING THE CALCULATION WAS MISSING FROM THAT EXHIBIT.

SO IT WAS SIMPLY ADDED TO THE RESOLUTION.

THE SCOPE AND THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS DID NOT CHANGE.

SO THE FORMAT, HOWEVER, WAS MISSING THAT.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS RIGHT.

SO OTHERWISE EVERYTHING ELSE IS IDENTICAL.

GOT IT. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE MEMBERS? NO, I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY.

SO I READ THIS TOTAL.

SO IT IS SOMEWHERE ON THE REPORT.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? AND NOT ON ON THE EXHIBIT OR.

BECAUSE I REMEMBER SEEING THIS SPECIFIC ON ON ITEM B? YES. OKAY.

THEY'RE THEY'RE VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL IN FORMAT.

RIGHT. BUT ON SEE, THAT CALCULATION TABLE WAS MISSING.

I UNDERSTAND NOW. THANK YOU.

CAN WE DISCUSS BOTH ITEMS THEN APPROVE THEM TOGETHER? NO, THEY HAVE TO BE SEPARATE, SEPARATELY.

YEAH. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM C, CHARLES.

I'LL SECOND IT. IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

MAYOR REYNA. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THIS IS A CONCERN THAT I'VE EXPRESSED BEFORE REGARDING THIS.

WELL, 14.

IT'S A NEW WELL, AND IT FAILED SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS PUT IN IN SERVICE.

AND SO NOW, YOU KNOW, WE HAD APPROVED, WHAT WAS IT, 60,000 APPEAL FOR ON APRIL 18TH.

BUT NOW IT'S COSTING US 93,731, WHICH YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT.

I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT, YOU KNOW, AND I BELIEVE THAT WE EXPECT OUR VENDORS, AS THEY DEAL WITH US, TO DEAL WITH US HONESTLY AND WITH INTEGRITY.

BUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO FIND OUT IF THIS WAS A FAILURE, EITHER OF THE CONTRACTOR OR OF THE MANUFACTURER? I KNOW THAT THEY ARE WORKING ON A REPORT, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE SORT OF LIKE THE THE FOX GUARDING THE HENS.

SO MR. VILLA MAY WANT TO EXPAND UPON THIS, BUT YOU YOU IDENTIFIED IT PRECISELY.

SO THERE MUST BE AN ANALYSIS DONE ON THE FAILED PARTS TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR WHETHER IT WAS INSTALLED PROPERLY, IMPROPERLY OR WHETHER THERE WAS SOME MAINTENANCE FAILURE ALONG THE LINE SO THAT BETWEEN THOSE OPTIONS, WE CAN DETERMINE WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOR THE FAILURE.

OKAY. AND SO WE WON'T BE ABLE TO REPORT THAT BACK TO COUNCIL UNTIL THAT REPORT IS COMPLETED AND A DETERMINATION IS MADE THAT WE'RE WILLING TO ACCEPT.

OKAY. SO WE'RE NOT WAITING ON THEM TO TELL US I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE OR THE BUILDER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE, BUT WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION.

INDIRECTLY, WE ARE WAITING ON THAT ANALYSIS TO BE DONE FOR THE ANALYSIS.

YEAH, BUT YOU WILL ULTIMATELY MAKE THAT DETERMINATION.

YES. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, AS I SAID, I HAD EXPRESSED THIS CONCERN BEFORE.

AND HERE WE ARE PUTTING MORE MONEY INTO THE WELL, WE SHOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THAT.

BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE TO MAKE, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT IF SOMEBODY ELSE IS AT FAULT, THAT WE DON'T END UP PAYING FOR

[00:10:09]

THIS. WOULD YOU COME TO THE PODIUM? AND JUST FOR JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THIS IS THE TOTAL BILL YOU APPROVED THE 60,000 PRIOR.

SO THIS IS THE TOTAL.

SO IT'S A TOTAL ON TOP OF YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT AN ADDITION TO THE 60? SO IT'S NOT AN ADDITIONAL 93,000 ON TOP.

JUST TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. YEAH, JUST TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

RIGHT. NO, I UNDERSTAND.

AND WE CURRENTLY ARE STILL WAITING FOR A REPORT FROM BEXWELL ON PUMP.

YES, I UNDERSTOOD IT TO BE THE 93 IN ADDITION TO THE 60.

I DID UNDERSTAND THAT.

IN OTHER WORDS, 60 PLUS 32.

CORRECT. CORRECT.

AND THAT'S STILL A CONCERN TO ME.

ANYWAY, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE EXPLANATION.

I LOOK FORWARD TO AN ADDITIONAL REPORT ON THIS.

I MOVE TO APPROVE. I'LL SECOND.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT OF 1970 PURSUANT TO SECTION 15.061B3.

NO ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS REQUIRED.

MR. MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

IN JANUARY 2022, THE WASCO CITY COUNCIL APPROVED A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A $5 MILLION GRANT APPLICATION TO THE CLEAN CALIFORNIA GRANT PROGRAM TO REDO THE DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE.

AS PART OF THAT, THERE WAS A $100,000 BUDGET FOR ART INSTALLATIONS IN THE DOWNTOWN.

AND IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, THE COUNCIL APPROVED A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ART SHERWIN TO OVERSEE THE THEME, SELECTION AND CREATION OF THE ART, TO MEET THE INTENT OF THE GRANT FIT WITHIN THE DESIGNATED SPACES AND REFLECT ON THE COMMUNITY OF WASCO.

SINCE THEN, STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING WITH MR. SHERWIN TO SELECT THEMES AND ART STYLES FOR EACH OF THE FOUR LOCATIONS THAT ARE DESIGNATED IN THE GRANT APPLICATION.

AND TONIGHT, WE JUST WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THE PROGRESS WE'VE MADE, WHAT SOME OF THE THEMES AND CONCEPTS ARE.

BEAR IN MIND THAT THINGS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS THEY DEVELOP AND AS ARTISTS ARE SECURED FOR EACH LOCATION.

BUT WE WANTED TO, JUST FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES, GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT WE'RE PLANNING.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL BRING MR. SHERWIN UP AND WE'VE GOT SOME SLIDES AND SOME A LITTLE BIT OF SHOW AND TELL AND LET'S MAKE SURE I GOT TO SEE THIS.

YEAH, YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, THEY'VE ALL GOT SCREENS IN FRONT OF THEM.

SO THIS IS THE FIRST LOCATION, THE OPEN PLAZA, WHICH YOU'LL REMEMBER IS THE PLAZA AREA ON THE NORTH SIDE OF SEVENTH STREET.

THE CITY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY, AND THIS IS THE WALL OF THE WEST FACING WALL OF THAT OPEN SPACE.

GREAT. IS IT ON ME NOW? GO FOR IT. WE'LL SHARE THAT.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

[00:15:02]

WELL, WHEN I WAS CONTACTED WITH REGARD TO THIS, IT IS PRETTY CHALLENGING.

IT'S A BIG CHALLENGE AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS NEW TO ME.

BUT I CERTAINLY ENJOYED THE CHALLENGE AND I SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THESE SPACES.

AND THE FIRST WALL THAT'S IN THE PLAZA IS THE WEST WALL.

YOU CAN SEE UP IN THE UPPER LEFT.

AND THAT WALL RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT 105 DEGREES.

IT GETS NOTHING BUT SUN AND HEAT, GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME.

AND YOUR FIRST THOUGHT WOULD BE TO THROW SOME MURALS UP, BUT YOU'D BE CALLING ME UP IN ABOUT 3 TO 5 YEARS AND I'LL BE IN MY LATE 70S ASKING ME TO COME BACK AND REPAINT THAT THING.

AND IT JUST DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO ME.

TO PUT PAINTINGS ON WALLS THAT ARE 100 DEGREES HEAT.

I MEAN, RIGHT NOW THAT WALL IS STEAMING.

SO IN THAT PARTICULAR CASE, I DECIDED IT MIGHT BE A GREAT IDEA TO PUT METAL SCULPTURES ON THE WALL.

IN THIS FIRST CASE, I WAS CONNECTING TO THE AMAZING MIGRATION OF MONARCH BUTTERFLIES THAT START UP IN CANADA, AND THEY LAND IN CENTRAL MEXICO.

AND SO I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH A SCULPTOR WHO HAS MADE THIS MOCK UP.

AWESOME. THIS BUTTERFLY.

AND IT'S MY INTENTIONS TO MAKE ABOUT 30, 25 TO 35 OF THESE SCULPTURES AND CONNECT THEM FROM ONE WALL TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL AND CREATE IT SO THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE LANDING IN CENTRAL MEXICO AT THIS SPOT.

I CAN'T SAY THE NAME STARTS WITH AN M, THANK YOU.

OH, I WAS WONDERING WHAT THAT NOISE WAS.

THE BUTTERFLY BUTTERFLY.

AND SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GOING TO MAKE, LIKE I SAID, 25, 30 OF THESE SOME DIFFERENT SIZES AND WE'RE GOING TO RUST A FEW AREAS ON IT TO GET SOME ORANGE IN THERE AND WE'RE GOING TO LAY THEM ON THE WALL AND I WANT THEM TO COME OUT OF THE WALL.

MAYBE THIS FAR, GIVE OR TAKE, BECAUSE THEN AS THE SUN'S WORKING, IT WILL CREATE SHADOWS OF MORE BUTTERFLIES ON THE WALL AND THE WALL.

WE'RE USING THIS PAINTING OF MINE ONLY FOR THE SKY.

BUT I PLAN TO PAINT THAT ENTIRE WALL INTO A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL SKY.

AND THESE BUTTERFLIES, THEY WON'T BE DOWN WHERE PEOPLE CAN TOUCH THEM.

THEY'LL BE FLYING ACROSS THE WALL AND THEY'LL EVENTUALLY LAND IN THIS SPOT IN CENTRAL MEXICO.

I'M GOING TO HAVE IT PAINTED IN THERE.

AND OF COURSE, THERE'LL BE A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM WHERE THEY'RE LANDING.

AND SO THAT WAS MY SUGGESTION FOR THAT PARTICULAR WALL LIGHT CATCHES.

SO ONE OF THE ONE OF THE SPOTS WE TALKED ABOUT, YOU SEE THE BUTTERFLY THAT'S DRAWN IN SORT OF LOW THAT SAYS SELFIE.

THAT GIVES YOU YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF CITIES THAT HAVE THESE BIG PAINTED BUTTERFLY WINGS.

WELL, THIS WOULD BE A METAL ONE FLAT AGAINST THE WALL.

THIS ONE RIGHT HERE WILL BE A LARGE BUTTERFLY SO PEOPLE CAN TAKE SELFIES.

AND YEAH, IT GIVES PEOPLE A PLACE TO INTERACT WITH THE ART A LITTLE BIT.

YEAH, WELL, THAT ONE HAVE COLOR.

I HAVEN'T DECIDED YET.

WE'RE KIND OF EARLY IN THE STAGES, BUT THERE'S A GREAT POSSIBILITY IT CAN, AND I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A SMART IDEA BECAUSE WE CAN COLORIZE THESE PRETTY WELL, SO I'LL LOOK INTO THAT.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS FIRST LOCATION? THUMBS UP. THAT'S ALWAYS GOOD.

ALL RIGHT. I LIKE THAT.

THIS IS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS ALSO AN ART LOCATION, BUT WE DON'T HAVE CONCEPTS FULLY PLAYED OUT ON THAT.

WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS AND KIND OF STILL WORKING ON WHAT WHAT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE THERE.

THIS IS THE EAST WALL THAT'S GOING TO EVENTUALLY BE IN THAT BEAUTIFUL PLAZA AND IT'S SHADED A GOOD PART OF THE DAY.

[00:20:05]

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT IT, IT'S VERY ROUGH.

IT'S GOT ALL THESE BIG ROUGH AREAS IN IT.

AND SO RIGHT NOW I'M LOOKING AT HOW TO PLAY WITH THE ROUGHNESS OF THAT WALL AND INTEGRATE IT INTO SOME TYPE OF A PAINTING THAT MIGHT WORK. OR MY OTHER MY OTHER THOUGHT WAS TO CREATE THAT WALL TO CELEBRATE THE THE ROSE FESTIVAL PARADE.

AND I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT IDEA.

AND WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR ROSE FESTIVAL, I'M GOING TO COME DOWN WITH MY CAMERA AND START TO CREATE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS AND SEE WHAT SEE WHAT THE POTENTIAL IS.

BUT THAT WALL I'M STILL WORKING ON.

NOW THIS IS THAT LONG ALLEYWAY.

AND MY IDEA WITH THE LONG ALLEYWAY WAS TO MAKE IT KIND OF A A GALLERY OF PHOTOGRAPHY, THAT OF THE CITY, BUT UNIQUE PHOTOGRAPHS, NOT JUST YOUR BASIC PHOTOGRAPHS.

AND THEN WHAT WE DO AND WE DID THIS IN THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

THEY CAME OUT BEAUTIFUL.

WHAT WE DO IS WE THEN COLORIZE THEM IN UNIQUE WAYS SO THAT THEY'RE MORE MODERN.

THEY MAKE PEOPLE LOOK A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT AT THEM.

THEY SEE THE SHAPES, THEY SEE THE PATTERNS RATHER THAN JUST THE PLACE.

AND THIS IS EARLY STAGES, AS YOU CAN SEE HOW WE'VE THROWN SOME COLOR AND WE'RE CREATING SOME DESIGN WORK AND SOME PATHWAYS FOR THE EYES AND WHAT THESE WILL DO.

I HAVE A COMPANY THAT WILL PRINT THESE AND I'M LOOKING AT EITHER 40 OR 60IN.

I'M GOING TO MEASURE THE ALLEYWAY TODAY WHEN I LEAVE AND THEY GO ON AN OUTDOOR MATERIAL, THEY WILL HAVE A CONNECTION TO SCREW THEM INTO THE WALL AND THEY HAVE A LIFE EXPECTANCY OF AT LEAST TEN YEARS.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS IF ANY OF THEM DO START TO FADE, IT'S REAL EASY.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT SAME PICTURE ON THEIR SITE.

THEY CAN PULL IT UP, PRINT ANOTHER ONE, AND WE CAN REPLACE IT.

AND IT'LL BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 100 AND 50 FOR THE SMALLER SIZE AND MAYBE 300 FOR THE LARGER SIZE.

SO IT WON'T BE A BIG HIT AND IT WON'T IT SHOULD LAST A LONG TIME.

AND THEN I AM NOW TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AN ARCHWAY THAT WILL BE ON SEVENTH STREET THAT WILL INTRODUCE THIS ALLEYWAY.

AND THIS IS A VERY LOOSE SKETCH.

I TOOK THE SHAPES OFF OF THE CAMERA, THE SQUARENESS OF THE CAMERA, THE CIRCLES OF THE LENSES, AND OVER THE TOP I CAN SEE SOME LETTERING THAT WILL HAVE, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING LIKE, YOU KNOW, WASCO PHOTO GALLERY.

AND SO AS PEOPLE ARE WALKING DOWN THAT ALLEYWAY, THEY WILL HAVE ALL THESE UNIQUE PIECES THEY CAN LOOK AT.

NOW, THIS ARCHWAY, I'D REALLY LIKE TO FIND SOMEBODY LOCAL TO CREATE THIS ALLEY OR THIS ARCHWAY.

WE WOULD PAY FOR MATERIALS AND PROBABLY THROW A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THAT DIRECTION.

BUT I IMAGINE THERE'S A LOT OF WELDERS AND GUYS AND GIRLS THAT MIGHT WANT TO TAKE THIS PROJECT ON AND IT WILL BE LASTING AND IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN BE PROUD OF.

FOR HOWEVER AND AGAIN, BEING METAL, THIS THING IS GOING TO LAST LONGER THAN ALL OF US ARE GOING TO LIVE, I'M SURE.

AND SO MY I'M LOOKING AT YOU FOR SOME POTENTIAL GUYS THAT MIGHT WANT TO TAKE THIS ON, BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE WORKING WITH METAL VERSUS PAINT, YOU GET SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO LAST A LIFETIME, BUT YOU DO HAVE TO PAY A LITTLE BIT MORE.

AND I'D LIKE TO TAP INTO SOMEBODY FROM HERE THAT MIGHT I CAN SEE THROWING MONEY THAT WAY, BUT MIGHT ALSO HAVE A HEART TO WANT TO DO THIS.

SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IDEAS, PLEASE SEND THEM TO ME.

[00:25:03]

ANY QUESTIONS? WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE ARK? I HAVE TWO DIMENSIONS.

I'M EITHER GOING TO GO 40IN WIDE OR I'LL GO 60IN.

AND THAT DEPENDS ON MY MEASUREMENTS AND SEEING HOW MUCH ROOM I HAVE.

THAT'S A LONG WALL.

AND SO ONE OF THOSE TWO DIMENSIONS.

JUST TO CLARIFY, WERE YOU ASKING ABOUT DIMENSIONS ON THE ARCH? YEAH. OKAY.

OH, THE ARCH GOES.

WE MEASURED IT.

IT'S EIGHT.

WAIT A MINUTE. IS IT EIGHT FEET? THE OPENING IS EIGHT FEET.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT? IT'LL BE MORE THAN THAT.

IT'S LONGER THAN THAT. CLOSER TO CLOSER TO 20.

IT'S GOING TO HANG ACROSS THE FULL WIDTH OF THE ALLEY.

YEAH. SO, YEAH, IT SHOULD BE ANCHORED ON EACH SIDE.

COME UP AND THEN HEIGHT WISE.

YEAH, WE'LL HAVE SOME.

WE'LL HAVE SOME INTERESTING POSTS WE WANT TO GO UP AND THEN I WANT THIS PIECE TO HANG OVER THE TOP AND I WANT THE BOTTOM TO BE LOOSE AND FREE AND THEN I WANT SOME NICE TEXT ON TOP AND THAT WILL BE ON SEVENTH STREET.

SO IT'LL REALLY BE A NICE PIECE TO LOOK AT FOR YOUR SEVENTH STREET.

MAIN STREET.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? I MEAN, YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW WHAT TO ASK.

I KNOW. WELL, I THINK IT'S.

SORRY. I THINK IT'S.

I LIKE THE CONCEPT.

I LIKE THE IDEA. AND MAYBE I'M GOING, LIKE, AHEAD.

BUT WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO TO CONSERVE, YOU KNOW, THIS ART AND THAT? IT DOESN'T GET DESTROYED.

SO THAT WILL BE A CHALLENGE.

PARTLY IN THE DESIGN AND ON GETTING REFERENCES FROM OTHER PLACES.

THIS TYPE OF INSTALLATION HAS BEEN DONE AND WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO PROTECT THE ART? WE PART OF THE DOWNTOWN RENOVATION IS TO HAVE AT LEAST COMMUNICATION TO MANY PARTS OF SEVENTH STREET AND THE ALLEYS TO INSTALL ADDITIONAL SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS AND WHATNOT TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT.

THE LIGHTING SHOULD DISCOURAGE SOME CERTAIN LEVEL OF SHENANIGANS IF IT'S WELL LIT INSTEAD OF BEING IN THE SHADOWS AND SO FORTH.

BUT IT IS A CHALLENGE.

AND SO SOMETHING LIKE THIS THE.

STEEL ARCHWAY CAN BE INSTALLED SO THAT IT'S ABOVE THE REACH OF MOST EFFORTS TO TO VANDALIZE IT.

THE ARTWORK.

YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE MURALS THAT ARE DOWNTOWN NOW, THEY HAVE SURVIVED AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN VANDALIZED.

AND WE'RE REALLY COUNTING ON THE PUBLIC TO TO RESPECT WHAT'S BEING DONE THERE AND TO TO PROTECT IT.

SO BUT THE REASON I BRING IT UP IS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY ON, YOU KNOW, HIGHWAY 46, THERE'S A BIG OLD TAGGING OUT THERE.

AND THAT'S RIGHT ON HIGHWAY 46.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE THINKING AHEAD OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO PROTECT I MEAN, I LIKE THE WHOLE CONCEPT AND IT'S GREAT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO SOMETHING TO CONSERVE IT ON ON OUR END, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO PAY ALL THIS MONEY AND, YOU KNOW.

RIGHT. TIME AND RESOURCES AND THEN.

WELL, I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THE METAL.

THAT'S. YEAH, THAT SHOULD BE.

BUT THE THE PHOTOS THEY'LL BE ON A SOLID.

I SAW IT VERY SOLID OUTDOOR STUFF.

THEY USE IT FOR OUTDOOR SIGNS AND IF SOMEBODY SHOULD HIT ONE OF THEM OR SOMETHING, IT'S NOT AN EXPENSIVE FIX IT PROBABLY BE 150 TO $200 TO REPLACE.

AND I THINK WHAT I WILL DO, TOO, IS I'LL TALK TO THE COMPANY I'M WORKING WITH AND ABOUT THE SURFACE.

AND IF THERE IS SOME GRAFFITI, IF IT CAN BE WIPED OFF EASILY, I'LL CHECK INTO THAT.

THANK YOU. GOOD QUESTION.

I HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THE ARCH, AND THAT IS, IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY COLOR? IS THERE GOING TO BE JUST METAL? IS IT A POWDER COATED? WHAT IS YOUR VISION OF IT? YEAH, I SEE IT POWDER COATED AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT COLOR YET.

I WAS LOOKING AT POSSIBLY A PATINA, WHICH IS KIND OF A GREEN AND THEN POSSIBLY THROWING A LITTLE BIT OF SOME SUBTLE COLOR INTO THAT AS WELL. AND THEN IT'LL HAVE A GOOD FINISH ON IT.

BUT IT WON'T JUST BE RAW METAL.

IT'LL BE FINISHED.

I LIKE THE CONCEPT AS WELL.

I IDENTIFIED IT IMMEDIATELY AS YOU SHOWED IT.

SO THOSE ARE CAMERAS, YOU KNOW, AND SO I COULD TELL.

THANK YOU. VERY NICELY DONE.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

NOW, THIS IS A SMALL AREA YOU'RE CREATING FOR PEOPLE TO JUST HANG OUT IN.

[00:30:04]

THERE'LL BE SOME STANDING BENCHES, NOT BENCHES TABLES IN THERE, AND THERE'LL BE A WALL OF SOME SORT THAT WILL CLOSE THAT SMALL AREA UP SO IT DOESN'T JUST GO OFF.

AND MY THOUGHTS THERE WAS TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL ARCHWAY AGAIN IN METAL THAT WOULD IT WOULD COME IN A FEW FEET.

AND THEN THERE ARE THESE THIS BEAUTIFUL ARCH THAT PEOPLE WILL WALK UNDER AND THEN THEY CAN HANG OUT IN THERE.

AND THEN ON THAT WALL THAT'S ON THE LEFT, I'M LOOKING FOR A MOSAIC ARTIST, SOMEBODY WHO WORKS IN MOSAIC.

AND I'D LIKE TO CREATE A BEAUTIFUL, COLORFUL MOSAIC PIECE THAT WILL SIT ON THAT WALL AND GIVE THAT AREA COLOR.

AND PLUS BEING MOSAIC, IT TAKES THE WEATHER BECAUSE THAT IS A WEST FACING WALL.

AND I HAVE NOT FOUND THE MOSAIC ARTIST YET.

IF WE KNOW OF SOMEBODY IN TOWN THAT WANTS TO TAKE THIS ON, I'D LOVE TO WORK WITH THEM.

I'M DEVELOPING CONCEPTS AND THEN I GIVE THEM TO THE ARTIST AND THEN IF THEY MAKE IT BETTER, THAT'S GREAT.

THAT'S UP TO THAT'S MY GOAL.

AND AND THEN WE GET THAT UP ON THE WALL AND IT COULD BE A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, COLORFUL PIECE.

OH, AND THE ARCHWAY.

I HAVE AN ARTIST WHO CREATES THESE BEAUTIFUL METAL ROSES.

AND SO THIS ARCHWAY WILL BE THIS RUNNING OF METAL ROSES THAT WILL KIND OF INTERTWINE OVER IT.

AS YOU CAN SEE, I'VE GOT THREE SKETCHES HERE, ONE THAT'S A LITTLE MORE FREEFORM, ONE THAT'S A LITTLE MORE WHAT DO YOU CALL IT? SAME.

IT'S SAME ON THE RIGHT, SYMMETRICAL.

AND SO I'M KIND OF LIKING THE FREEFORM IDEA A LITTLE BIT MORE AND THEN THESE WILL BE THE MAIN CHARACTER. AND WHETHER WE POWDER COAT THESE INTO SOME TONES OF RED OR NOT.

HAVEN'T DECIDED YET, BUT IT CAN BE DONE.

BUT QUESTIONS ON THIS.

ALL RIGHT. I THINK I MIGHT TAKE MORE THUMBS UP.

THIS IS A LONE WALL AGAIN FACING THE WEST.

IT'S HOT.

SO I, AND I HAVE ANOTHER DRAWING THAT I'VE HAD THAT'S BETTER RIGHT NOW.

BUT I WANT TO DO A LINE DRAWING ON THAT WALL.

ALL IN METAL.

AND I KNOW THAT ONE OF YOUR BIG CROPS IS ALMONDS.

AND SO THE BOTTOM, IT'S GOING TO BE SOME SHAPES OF THESE ALMOND TREES.

AND THEN AS YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE, IT GOES INTO A FIELD WITH SOME PERSPECTIVE LINES WHICH WILL KIND OF REPRESENT THE ROSE FIELDS.

AND THEN OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE THE BACK WITH SOME HILLS AND MOUNTAINS.

AND THEN I WANT TO DO A GREAT SUN, SOME COOL SUN UP THERE.

AND AGAIN, IT'LL ALL BE METAL.

I'M LOOKING AT COLORIZING IT AGAIN, PATTERNING IT A BEAUTIFUL GREEN WITH SOME BLACK COMING THROUGH IT AND THEN A LITTLE BIT OF TONES OF SOME REDS IN THAT BACK FIELD.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THE SUN YET, BUT THAT WALL AND I'M NOT GOING TO USE THE ENTIRE WALL.

IT'S GOING I'M GOING TO CENTER A PIECE ON THAT WALL.

WE'RE GOING TO COME IN ABOUT TEN, TEN, 15FT FROM EACH END AND THEN HAVE THIS BIG PIECE BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME TREES THAT ARE GOING TO GO ALONG THERE AS WELL.

AND SO THAT WILL HELP REPRESENT THE TOPOGRAPHY OF WASCO RIGHT THERE.

STILL WORKING ON THAT.

I HAVE APPROXIMATELY I'VE DONE AT LEAST PROBABLY 150 TO 200 SKETCHES ALREADY TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT.

THAT'S HOW I WORK SMALL SKETCHES.

THEY'RE ALL HERE AND I JUST KEEP GOING.

[00:35:04]

AND THESE SKETCHES ARE IMPORTANT AND I KEEP THEM SMALL SO I DON'T HAVE TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME BECAUSE IT'S LIKE THEY TURN THE PAGE OF MY MIND AS I SKETCH.

THEN I SEE I NEED TO ADD THIS.

AND SO THEN I ADD AND I CONTINUE.

AND IT'S A PROCESS THAT I GO WITH AS FAR AS NARROWING IT DOWN TO THE EVENTUAL DESIGN.

AND THEN I RUN IT BY PEOPLE TO GET THEIR IDEA AND WHAT THEY THINK.

OKAY. IS THAT IT? OH, YEAH. THOUGHTS ON THAT WALL? GOOD ONE.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S TOO MANY PLACES THAT HAVE METAL SCULPTURES ON WALLS.

I DO BELIEVE 25 TO 30 OF THOSE INCREDIBLE BUTTERFLIES FLOATING ON THIS WALL IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL THAT A LOT OF TOWNS ARE NOT GOING TO BE THEY DON'T HAVE.

THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING THIS ARTIST, IT'S A YOUNG ARTIST WHO'S ON HER WAY UP.

THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT WILL DRAW PEOPLE THIS ART, THIS METAL WORK.

I REALLY BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE SPECIAL.

YEAH, I'M PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT IT AND I AM ALWAYS OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS.

I DO WANT TO SAY, WITHOUT BEING DISRESPECTFUL OR, YOU KNOW, NEGATIVE ABOUT IT, I LOVE YOUR CONCEPT.

THIS LAST ONE I'M NOT REALLY SOLD ON, BUT THE LAST ONE WITH THE LINE DRAWING.

THAT'S RIGHT. THE TREES AND ALL THAT.

THAT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, I REALLY THUMBS UP ON THE OTHER ONES ARE GREAT.

I LOVE THEM. I LOVE THE BUTTERFLIES.

I LOVE THE ARCHWAY WITH ROSES.

THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL.

THIS LAST ONE, I'M NOT SOLD AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I EXPRESS THAT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE HERE WITH THAT ONE FOR ME.

YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST NOT DOING IT FOR ME.

BUT I DON'T HAVE OTHER SUGGESTIONS.

THAT'S JUST, OH YEAH, AND I'M GOING TO BE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM.

I PERSONALLY I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT DOES REPRESENT, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE HAVE WHERE PEOPLE WORK AND WHATNOT, AND IT BRINGS THAT PERSPECTIVE TO OUR TOWN.

AND I PERSONALLY, I LIKE THIS ONE OVER SOME OF THE OTHER ONES JUST BECAUSE IT BRINGS THAT REPRESENTATION.

THAT'S JUST MY. AND MR. REINA, WHAT IS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE? I'M COMPLETELY OPEN AND MY SELF ESTEEM IS IN GOOD SHAPE, SO DON'T WORRY YOU.

NO, I JUST I LOOK AT IT, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER ONES, I THINK THEY'RE GREAT.

THAT'S MY INITIAL ONE WITH THE CAMERAS.

AS I SAID, I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THAT IMMEDIATELY AS BEING CAMERAS.

THE. THE BUTTERFLIES.

I AGREE WITH YOU. THAT WILL BE A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO GO.

TAKE PICTURES.

PEOPLE MIGHT JUST, YOU KNOW, COME FROM HIGHWAY 46 WHEN THEY FIND OUT THAT THERE IS THIS MURAL OF METAL BUTTERFLIES AND VISIT DOWNTOWN, THE ONE WITH THE ROSES I LOVE AS WELL.

I'M A GARDENER AND I HAVE A LOT OF ROSES SO I CAN IDENTIFY WITH IT.

AND THE ORNAMENTS, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST ALTHOUGH IT'S PART OF WHAT WE GROW HERE, UNLESS THEY ARE IN IN BLOOM, YOU KNOW, IN THE EARLY SPRING, IT'S JUST TREES THAT, YOU KNOW, SORT OF LIKE ARE IN THE BACKGROUND.

AND SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY I'M NOT EXCITED ABOUT IT.

I JUST AND BUT UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE A SUGGESTION FOR YOU, SO I'M JUST BEING SORT OF CRITICAL ABOUT IT OR NOT LIKING IT.

BUT I DON'T HAVE A DIRECTION THAT I CAN SEND YOU IN.

YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY CRAZY.

YOU DON'T HAVE NO SUGGESTION FOR ME.

I'M LEAVING IT ALL UP TO YOU.

WELL, LOOK AT JUST ANOTHER COMMENT, IF I MAY.

IT WOULD BE WHERE I AM INTERESTED IN SEEING HOW YOU WOULD ACTUALLY MAKE THE CONCEPT OF AN ALMOND TREE OFF OF METAL.

RIGHT. BECAUSE PAINTING IS ONE THING, BUT OFF OF METAL AND ACTUALLY, LIKE, IDENTIFYING.

THAT'S AN ALMOND TREE. THAT'D BE INTERESTING TO SEE.

YEAH, THAT'S REALLY ABOUT THE CREATION OF THE ACTUAL FINDING THE PARAMETERS OF THE TREE AND ROOTING IT DOWN WITH THE TRUNK OF THE TREE AND SO FORTH.

BUT I AM I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID.

I THINK IT IS POSSIBLY THE WEAKEST OF ALL MY CONCEPTS SO FAR.

SO I MIGHT GO BACK TO WORK ON THIS AND SEE IF I CAN MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE EXCITING, I GUESS.

I DON'T KNOW. WE'LL HAVE TO SEE.

[00:40:04]

THANK YOU, MR. SHERWOOD. I APPRECIATE THAT.

YOU KNOW, AND I DO WANT TO SAY VALENTINE WORKS IN AGRICULTURE, SO HE IDENTIFIES WITH THE TREES, AS DO I.

IT'S A BIG INDUSTRY FOR US, BUT IT'S JUST NOT DOING IT FOR ME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE? ARE WE GOOD? WELL, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS TIME? SEEING NONE.

ANY COMMENTS FROM THE MEMBERS, MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA.

YOU KNOW, I'M NO ARTIST.

I'M NO CREATIVE.

THANK YOU FOR COMING HERE AND PRESENTING YOUR CONCEPTS.

I THINK THEY'RE ALL WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL.

I HAVE NO FEEDBACK.

I'M GOING TO LEAVE THAT TO THE PROFESSIONALS.

THAT'S YOU AND WHOEVER WORKS WITH YOU.

I THINK THE CONCEPTS ARE ALL HEADED IN A WONDERFUL DIRECTION.

I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA.

I AGREE WITH YOU. I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THE METAL MEDIUM.

IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY INTERESTING AND UNIQUE FOR FOR US HERE IN NOT JUST HERE IN WASCO, BUT NORTH KERN IN GENERAL AND KERN.

SO BUT I GUESS I'M JUST GONNA ADD MY THROW MY $0.02 IN THERE.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CONCEPT BECAUSE IT REALLY DRAWS IN IT'S ROOTED IN THE REGION'S IDENTITY, NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT ALL ROSES, YOU KNOW, WE'RE AFTER RIGHT AFTER THE BIGGEST EXODUS OF THOSE ROSE COMPANIES, YOU KNOW, WE WE TURN TO TO NUTS AND TREES ARE PART OF THAT IDENTITY A BIG PART OF OUR EXPORT ACTUALLY HERE LOCALLY.

SO I THINK THAT'S A REALLY GREAT CONCEPT.

YOU HAVE THE, YOU KNOW, THE COASTAL RANGE IN THE IN THE BACKGROUND AND I THINK IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

SO THE OTHER POTENTIAL CONCEPT COULD BE TO JUST DO A BEAUTIFUL METAL ONE ALMOND TREE THAT FLOATS OUT ONTO THE THE WALL, BECAUSE THOSE THOSE TRUNKS AND LIMBS ARE AMAZING.

I MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THE ALMOND TREE.

A PLAY ON THE MONARCH.

YOU CAN HAVE THE LEAVES BLOWING AWAY AND JUST.

YES, THOUSANDS OF METAL LEAVES EVERYWHERE.

MAYBE HUNDREDS. I DON'T KNOW.

I'LL WORK ON THAT.

AND THEN YOU GUYS WORK. YOU GUYS WORK ON MR. REYNA BETWEEN THE.

WELL, NO ONE'S GOING ON ANYTHING.

THAT CONCEPT THAT YOU JUST EXPRESSED.

OKAY, I THINK I LIKE THAT.

I LIKE THAT. WHAT I WHAT DOESN'T SELL ME ON THIS CONCEPT IS THAT YOU HAVE THIS ARCHES ABOVE THE TREES.

AND. AND TO ME, THAT DOESN'T DO IT.

THOSE CAN BE COMPLETELY REWORKED.

AND I WILL DO IT FOR A PRICE.

WE KNOW THAT.

NO, I WILL DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THAT.

I APPRECIATE THAT.

THOSE AREN'T PERFECT ARCHES.

I THINK THOSE ARE THE CANOPIES OF THE ORCHARDS.

RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO ULTIMATELY BE.

HELLO? YEAH, YEAH, I WILL GO BACK TO MY DRAWING TABLE.

OKAY. AND SEE WHAT I CAN COME UP AND MAYBE I CAN BLEND ALL OF YOUR GUYS STUFF INTO ONE THING.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE SO KIND.

I'LL DO MY BEST.

YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A LITTLE ART TEACHER.

OKAY, GUYS, I WAS GOING TO SAY, YOU'RE A TALL ART TEACHER.

THANK YOU. OKAY, IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE.

MEMBER MEDINA. NO, I'M GOOD.

THANK YOU. OKAY, WELL, THANK YOU.

I HAVE ONE COMMENT.

I DO KNOW A PHOTOGRAPHER THAT WON'T CHARGE ANY LICENSING FEES IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS.

THAT'S WHY I'M DOING THE PHOTOGRAPHY.

AND MY DAUGHTER, I ORIGINALLY WAS LOOKING AT PUTTING FAMOUS WORKS OF ART, ESPECIALLY HISPANIC WORKS OF ART.

BUT YOU NEED FEES AND COPYRIGHTS AND IT'S REALLY A PAIN IN THE BUTT.

AND AND THE ARTISTS NEED TO BE DEAD FOR 70 YEARS FOR THAT TO WORK.

AND ALL THE COOL ONES ARE LIKE, JUST MISSED IT.

FRIDA KAHLO WAS 54 AND THEN OROZCO AND ALL THESE GUYS, THEY ALL DIED IN THE 50S AND 60S AND AND THAT'S EARLIER THAN THE 70 YEARS BECAUSE I KNOW I WAS BORN IN 1950, SO I KNOW ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT WE'RE OKAY.

SO OKAY.

SHERWIN FOR THE PRESENTATION, YOU ARE WELCOME.

THANK YOU.

AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

SO MOVED. MOTION? I'M SORRY. IT'S JUST DISCUSSION.

IT WAS JUST A PRESENTATION, RIGHT? YEAH. YEAH.

JUST. JUST TO RECAP, COUNCIL PROVIDED EXACTLY WHAT STAFF WAS LOOKING FOR.

JUST LOOKING AT A CONCEPT THAT'S STILL EVOLVING AND MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T SEE A LOT OF THIS OR A LOT OF THIS AND THAT.

IT WAS MOSTLY THIS AND AND THIS.

SO IT WILL CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND YOU'LL GET TO SEE IT AS IT PROGRESSES.

VERY COOL. ALL RIGHT.

[00:45:01]

YEAH, I'LL GET BACK TO WORK.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. THANK YOU.

MOVING ON TO ITEM B, ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO FINALIZE AND EXECUTE A PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH DOOLEY ENTERPRISE, INC FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT, SMALL ARMS, AMMUNITION AND FIND THAT THIS ACTION IS NOT A PROJECT AS DEFINED UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.

STATE GUIDELINES.

THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO STATE GUIDELINES SECTION 1560 C THREE, NO INTER NO ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS REQUIRED.

YES. HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

WE'LL HAVE A SERIES OF AGENDA ITEMS THIS EVENING AROUND CONTINUED PROGRESS ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DEVELOPMENT.

THIS ONE IS FOR AN INITIAL ORDER OF AMMUNITION FOR THE WEAPONS THAT WERE UNA PREGUNTA O UN TIEMPO PARA PARA SU PREGUNTA ESTAMOS EN MEDIO DE UN UN.

UN ITEM. UN TEMA.

UN TEMA ENQUANTO TERMINAMOS.

PARA PARA HACER UNA PREGUNTA PREGUNTA ESTE TEMA.

OKAY, POR CIENTO.

VAMOS. THAT IS OKAY THAT WE GIVE HIM TIME AFTER WE FINISH THIS AGENDA ITEMS AS WE PASS PUBLIC COMMENTS.

DID WE DETERMINE IF HE'S INTERESTED IN THIS ITEM OR JUST.

NO. I THINK HE JUST WANTS TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS.

KOREA. THE KOREA ESPANOL.

OKAY. HE HAS A QUESTION. ESSER.

NO ES EN CUANTO ESTO ES ALGO ORITA.

VAMOS A HACER ESTO DESPUÉS.

SO CAN HE GIVE HIM TIME AFTER THIS ITEM TO ASK HIS QUESTION? SURE. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO DETERMINE IF HIS QUESTION IS ON THIS ITEM.

PERHAPS IT IS NOT ON THIS ITEM AND NOT THE PREVIOUS ITEM.

IT IS NOT. IT IS OKAY.

I DON'T THINK HE I DON'T THINK HE'S BEEN FOLLOWING WHAT WE'VE BEEN SAYING BECAUSE HE SPEAKS SPANISH.

OKAY. WITH ME. SIENTO? YEAH. ME SIENTO.

NO, SENOR.

SIENTO. LLAMAMOS AQUI.

UNOS. CINCO MINUTOS.

NO, NO.

CINCO MINUTOS. VAMOS.

CAN SOMEBODY TAKE HIM OUTSIDE? YEAH. OKAY.

NOSOTROS, PODEMOS HACER LA PREGUNTA ES.

OKAY. OKAY.

THE MAIN THING WE'RE TRYING TO GET RID OF.

WELL, IF BY ALL MEANS, IF HE STILL HAS SOMETHING HE WOULD LIKE TO SAY OR ASK A QUESTION, WE'LL PAUSE BETWEEN WHICHEVER ITEM AND MAKE THAT AVAILABLE.

WE COULD DO THAT AS WELL.

SURE. YEAH. SO OKAY, SO CONTINUING ON WITH THIS ITEM, THIS IS AN INITIAL ORDER FOR AMMUNITION FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THE THE PRIMARY ISSUE WITH THIS IS FINDING FOLKS THAT HAVE THE APPROPRIATE ITEMS IN STOCK IN THEIR DELIVERY TIME. IN THIS CASE, WE RECEIVED THREE DIFFERENT QUOTES.

THEY WERE STRUCTURED SOMEWHAT DIFFERENTLY.

SO WE HAD TO DO SOME WORK TO GET DOWN TO AS CLOSE TO AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON AS WE COULD.

BUT WE CAN SEE HERE THAT THE THE FOLKS THAT HAVE THE ITEMS IMMEDIATELY IN STOCK READY FOR DELIVERY WAS DULY ENTERPRISES.

THEY WERE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN THE COST FROM PEARL FORCE, BUT YET PEARL FORCE HAD A 6 TO 8 MONTH DELAY IN IN LEAD TIME.

THAT WON'T PREVENT US FROM USING LOWER PRICED SUPPLIERS IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE'RE SIMPLY REFILLING AND WE CAN AFFORD TO HAVE THAT LEAD TIME.

BUT FOR NOW, WE HAD CHOSEN DOOLEY ENTERPRISES VERSUS THE HIGHER THE HIGHER QUOTE FROM NAJI INDUSTRIES IN BAKERSFIELD. ALSO, PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME OF THESE SOME OF THESE QUOTES INCLUDED LESS LETHAL ROUNDS. THESE ARE LIKE BEANBAGS AND SO FORTH THAT ARE A SEPARATE CATEGORY.

WE REMOVE THOSE FROM THE BIDS.

SO WE GOT DOWN TO THAT APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON, AND THOSE PARTICULAR ROUNDS WEREN'T NEEDED IMMEDIATELY.

THE QUESTIONS BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE CHIEF I'M SURE WE CAN ANSWER, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS TIME? SEEING NONE. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS FROM THE MEMBERS MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA?

[00:50:02]

JUST I GUESS MY QUESTION OR MY CURIOSITY WOULD BE IS DO WE HAVE TO GO WITH THE NECESSARILY CHEAPEST ONE? WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY ON THE TIMELINE.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO SEE US GO WITH SOMEONE LOCAL, THAT'S WHY.

YEAH, WE WOULD PREFER THAT AS WELL.

LESS THAN 200 BUCKS. I MEAN, THEY'RE THEY HAVE LESS SELECTION THAN THE OTHER.

THE CHIEF MAY HAVE SOME THOUGHTS TO ADD TO THAT, BUT WE MAY HAVE, ASIDE FROM PRICE, IF IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? AND I GUESS I'M CURIOUS IF THERE'S IS THERE, BUT AVAILABILITY IS DEFINITELY A KEY POINT.

GO TO THE MIC. I'M SORRY.

COULD YOU REPEAT THE QUESTION? YEAH, I WAS CURIOUS AS TO, I GUESS, WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN BETWEEN DULY AND NAG ASIDE FROM A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS? I MEAN, I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE US MAYBE PUT THAT MONEY LOCALLY.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DULY AND NAG IS THAT THE AMMUNITION IS AVAILABLE TO US IMMEDIATELY.

WE CAN LITERALLY HAVE THAT AMMUNITION WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO.

WE HAVE ONE POLICE OFFICER CANDIDATE THAT'S GOING TO RECERTIFICATION SCHOOL NEXT MONTH AND WE'LL NEED AMMUNITION FOR QUALIFICATION.

AND SO THAT THAT WAS KIND OF THE IMPETUS.

THAT'S PERFECTLY REASONABLE.

THAT MAKES SENSE. AND THIS IS A SOMEWHAT MODEST ORDER.

THIS WE'RE NOT ORDERING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS AT THIS POINT.

SO THIS IS AN INITIAL STOCK TO WORK FROM FOR THE REQUALIFICATION AND AND TRAINING AND THAT SORT OF THING.

WE'LL HAVE THE LUXURY TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE SHOPPING AS WE GO FORWARD.

I THINK THAT'S COOL. AND IN THE FUTURE WE COULD DO THAT.

I THINK 2 TO 3 WEEKS WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE AN ISSUE, GENERALLY SPEAKING, BECAUSE WE WOULDN'T NEED THEM LIKE THIS WEEK, BUT BECAUSE YOU NEED THEM.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT FOR HIS TRAINING.

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY REASONABLE TO GET THAT IMMEDIATELY.

THANK YOU. REMEMBER MEDINA.

ANY COMMENTS? NO COMMENTS.

MAYOR REYNA. YEAH.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I AGREE WITH YOUR TAKE ON THIS.

I THINK THAT IF WE NEED THE AMMUNITION, LET'S GET IT NOW.

WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO GO BACK TO THE WELL AND LOOK FOR PERHAPS LOCAL WITH A LONGER LEAD TIME IF NECESSARY.

SO, YEAH, I'M FOR IT.

ABSOLUTELY. MEMBERS SALDANA.

NO COMMENTS. AND THE ONLY COMMENT I HAVE IS I'M GLAD WE'RE STILL MAKING PROGRESS, SIR.

I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

MADAM CLERK, CAN WE PLEASE HAVE THE VOTE BY ROLL CALL? MAYOR MARTINEZ? AYE.

MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA.

AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER MEDINA.

AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER WARNER.

AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER SALDANA.

AYE. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER REYNA, SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.

MOTION IS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.

MOVING ON TO ITEM C, ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO FINALIZE AND APPROVE A PURCHASE ORDER WITH PHIL LONG TO PURCHASE FIVE NEW FORD UTILITY

[12) c. Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to finalize and approve a purchase order with Phil Long to purchase five (5) new Ford Utility Interceptor, AWD Police vehicles, and a purchase order with American Emergency Product (AEP) to purchase emergency lighting and other police upfitting equipment not to exceed the amount of $410,000; and Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.]

INTERCEPTOR INTERCEPTOR, ALL WHEEL DRIVE POLICE VEHICLES AND A PURCHASE ORDER WITH AMERICAN EMERGENCY PRODUCT TO PURCHASE EMERGENCY LIGHTING AND OTHER POLICE UPFITTING EQUIPMENT NOT TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF $410,000 AND FIND THAT THIS ACTION IS NOT A PROJECT AS DEFINED UNDER CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY STATE GUIDELINES.

THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO STATE GUIDELINES SECTION 15 0C3, NO ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS REQUIRED.

HONORABLE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

YOU MAY RECALL THAT INITIALLY WE HAD BEEN LOOKING AT SOME AIR QUALITY VOUCHERS THAT WOULD ENCOURAGE US TO HAVE HYBRID VEHICLES IN OUR FLEET RATHER THAN ALL GAS POWERED.

SINCE THAT INITIAL BUDGET WAS SET UP, WE'VE HAD MORE THAN A LITTLE BIT OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE HYBRID VEHICLES OUT IN THE FIELD IN A NUMBER OF CATEGORIES.

AND ALSO CONSIDERING THAT WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE DUAL TRAINING, DUAL SETS OF TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT TO WORK ON THESE VEHICLES IN OUR SHOP.

AN OPPORTUNITY CAME ALONG TO SECURE FIVE MORE VEHICLES IDENTICAL TO WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE FROM THE SAME SOURCE AT THE SAME PRICING WITH AS CLOSE TO IMMEDIATE DELIVERY AS WE WE COULD POSSIBLY ASK FOR.

WE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE VOUCHERS THAT WERE BEING OFFERED FOR THE HYBRID VEHICLES ARE TRANSFERABLE SO WE CAN USE THOSE ELSEWHERE IN OUR ORGANIZATION AND NOT SIMPLY DISCARD THEM.

SO IT'S BEEN CONFIRMED THERE'S A FAIRLY SHORT LIST, BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT QUALIFY FOR USE OF THOSE, AND SOME MAY BE APPLICABLE AS WE START TO WEAR OUT SOME OF OUR OUR POOL VEHICLES AND OTHER DEPARTMENTAL VEHICLES FOR RUNNING AROUND TOWN MAY BE MORE APPROPRIATE USE OF THOSE VOUCHERS.

SO AT THIS POINT, WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT WE GO AHEAD AND AND SECURE THE ORDER FOR FIVE ADDITIONAL

[00:55:09]

INTERCEPTORS IDENTICAL TO THE ONES WE HAVE AS FAR AS THE BASE VEHICLE, BUT WITH A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS FOR THE UPFITTING, THAT HELPS REDUCE THE OVERALL PRICE.

NOT EVERY BELL AND WHISTLE THAT'S ON OUR CURRENT WOULD BE APPLIED TO ALL FIVE VEHICLES.

THERE WOULD BE THREE THAT WOULD BE UP UPFITTED SIMILAR TO WHAT WE HAVE NOW.

TWO WOULD HAVE THE INSIDE LIGHTS, I BELIEVE, RATHER THAN OUTSIDE LIGHTS, KITS, MORE MODEST PACKAGE AND THREE WOULD COME WITH THE RADAR EQUIPPED, WHICH IS, AS YOU CAN SEE, ONE OF THE LOWEST COST ITEMS ON THE ON THE LIST FOR THIS.

THOSE WOULD MOVE FORWARD.

AND JUST TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR, THE THE WORDING IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH MAYBE WASN'T AS CLEAR AS IT CAN BE.

THE THE UPFITTING IS NOT $410,000.

THE ENTIRE COST IS WE WOULD ASK FOR A BUDGET THERE OF 410, ALTHOUGH THE THE TOTAL OF THE QUOTES WE HAVE IN HAND IS 401.

SO IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO HANDLE THOSE.

ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS TIME? SEEING NONE. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE MEMBERS? MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA.

NOT AT THIS TIME. MEMBER MEDINA? NO. THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD WAS WHAT YOU JUST ANSWERED.

SO. OKAY, GOOD. REMEMBER, RAINA, I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

IS THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT OUTFITTING ALL THE VEHICLES THE SAME AS THE ONES WE CURRENTLY HAVE? THREE AND TWO, ACCORDING TO WHICH YOU JUST SAID A COST SAVING MEASURE.

OR IS THERE ANOTHER REASON? I WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU WHAT YOU WERE SAYING? YEAH, I THINK IT'S BOTH.

AND I THINK THE CHIEF CAN EXPLAIN THE DESIRE TO HAVE THESE TWO OUTFITTED DIFFERENTLY.

YES. COUNCILMAN RAINA.

THE IDEA BEHIND THE UPFITTING WAS WE WOULD SET TWO OF THOSE VEHICLES UP FOR ADMINISTRATION COMMAND VEHICLES, BASICALLY THAT WE WOULD REDUCE THE COSTS OF THE UPFITTING BY NOT PUTTING ALL OF THE INSTALL THAT GOES INTO THE REGULAR CARS.

HAVING THE MONEY FOR THE BUDGET THIS YEAR.

I ALSO WANTED TO TAKE AN UPFIT AS MANY CARS AS I COULD WITH RADAR SO THAT AS WE START OUR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS, WE'VE GOT RADAR AVAILABLE IN MORE THAN ONE UNIT.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING RADAR IN THREE OF THOSE UNITS.

YOU'RE PUTTING RADAR ON ALL OF THEM OR NO? THREE ON THE THREE.

THREE OF THE FIVE. SO WE'D HAVE FOUR CARS THAT WERE RADAR EQUIPPED.

SO I'LL ASK ANOTHER QUESTION AND MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER THIS.

HOW MUCH MONEY ARE WE SAVING BY NOT OUTFITTING THESE VEHICLES THE SAME AS THE OTHERS? THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING THIS QUESTION IS BECAUSE I'M SEEING THAT WE MAY NEED THESE VEHICLES IN THE FUTURE FOR OUR DEPUTIES, NOT DEPUTIES OFFICERS.

AND SO IF WE HAVE THOSE VEHICLES ALREADY OUTFITTED, THEN YOU WOULD QUICKLY BE ABLE TO MOVE THEM INTO THE USE OF AN OFFICER.

AND THAT'S THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THIS QUESTION.

JUST TO CLARIFY, THESE ARE GOING TO BE THE TWO UNMARKED VEHICLES, CORRECT? YES, SIR. SO THAT'S THE COST SAVINGS, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE LIGHT BARS ON THE TOP AND ALL OF THAT STUFF.

SO THEY'RE STILL FULLY EQUIPPED TO DO CODE THREE.

ACTUALLY, A POLICE OFFICER WOULD.

IT'S JUST NOT ACTUALLY, I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION, BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MADE THIS KIND OF A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR US, THESE ALL FIVE OF THESE CARS ARE POLICE INTERCEPTORS.

SO THE WIRING HARNESSES AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES INTO THE UPFITTING, THE COMPUTER, EVERYTHING THAT RUNS THE CONTROLLERS INSIDE THE CAR IS THE SAME WIRING, HARNESS AND CONTROLLERS THAT ARE USED IN THE CARS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

SO AS AN EXAMPLE, THOSE TWO CARS PROBABLY WON'T GET THE MILEAGE ON THEM THAT THE THAT THE FULLY UPFITTED CARS THAT WE HAVE NOW DO BECAUSE THOSE ARE LINE CARS.

SO WHAT IT ALLOWS US TO DO IS AS TIME GOES ON, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS PULL THE INTERIOR LIGHT BAR OFF OF THOSE CARS, PUT AN EXTERIOR LIGHT BAR ON THEM. AND IF WE CHOOSE TO TO CAGE THEM, GO AHEAD AND INCLUDE THE ATHENA CAGE.

AND OTHER THAN THAT, THEY'RE THE SAME VEHICLE.

SO IT'D BE A MATTER OF PAINTING THE DOORS AND PUTTING A LIGHT BAR ON IT.

YEAH. I WANT TO SAY THAT I BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE THE BEST PERSON TO MAKE THIS DECISION, BUT I DO HAVE THIS QUESTION, SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET ANSWERS TO.

YES, SIR. IT WOULD BE REMISS OF ME NOT TO DO THAT SO WELL.

AND PART OF YOUR QUESTION WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN COST.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE TABLE ON THE STAFF REPORT, THE PATROL UPFITTING IS 33 FOUR AND THE COMMAND STAFF UPFITTING IS 25, 25 EIGHT.

SO THAT IS THE THE GROSS DIFFERENCE IN THE UPFITTING COST BETWEEN THE TWO CONFIGURATIONS.

IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF MONEY.

[01:00:01]

NO. AND AND THIS IS THESE FIVE WILL TAKE OUR TOTAL FLEET UP TO 11.

WE'LL END UP WITH MORE THAN THAT.

SO IT MAY VERY WELL BE THAT THE NEXT ORDER THAT WE DO TO INCREASE OUR FLEET WOULD BE FULLY UPFITTED AGAIN.

AND WE BUT WE STILL WOULD HAVE A NEED IN THE WHOLE SCHEME OF THINGS FOR THESE COMMAND STAFF DRESSED VEHICLES.

SO AND BECAUSE THEY GET LESS MILEAGE POTENTIALLY THAN THE FULL ON PATROL VEHICLES, THEY MAY LAST LONGER THROUGHOUT THAT WHOLE TIME FRAME.

SO THE THE COST SAVINGS IS SIMPLY A HAPPY SIDE EFFECT OF THIS.

RIGHT? RIGHT. IT'S NOT A LOT OF MONEY.

YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AT IT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION.

SURE. MEMBER SALDANA, ANY COMMENTS? NO COMMENTS AND I HAVE NO COMMENTS.

I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

SO MOVED. I THINK HE IS.

TAKE YOUR PICK. EITHER ONE.

OKAY. MAYOR.

MARTINEZ. I MAYOR PRO TEM.

GARCIA. COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER MEDINA.

HI. COUNCIL MEMBER WARNER.

AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER SALDANA.

AYE. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER MEDINA.

SECONDED BY PRO TEM GARCIA.

MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA.

I'M SORRY TO ADOPT.

THE RESOLUTION MOTION IS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.

OKAY. SO, MR.

[Additional Item]

MAYOR, I THINK WE DETERMINED THAT HE IS STILL INTERESTED IN MAKING A STATEMENT.

SO IF EVERYONE'S AGREEABLE, WE CAN PAUSE FOR THAT.

SURE, SURE. LET'S DO THAT.

MHM. YES.

SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY WOULD NEED TO TRANSLATE.

WE DON'T HAVE A CERTIFIED TRANSLATOR PRESENT.

WE WILL. WE'LL MAKE THE BEST EFFORT.

WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED AHEAD OF TIME, SO.

OKAY, GO AHEAD.

WELL, YOU MI PREGUNTA ES CUESTION DE ESTAR EN INGLÉS SI.

NO SE HABLA INGLÉS.

AGUSTIN AGUSTIN IS.

HIS NAME IS DIREKSYON.

THIS IS THREE THREE.

THE DISTRICT. OKAY.

PLEASE. OKAY.

YEAH. MI MI PREGUNTA ES ESTA AQUI DE LA DEL PUEBLO DE LA CASITA CUANDO SE VA COMENZAR EL PROYECTO DE LA CAIDA PORQUE COMO UNA VEZ EN TODOS LOS QUITARON POR UN MOTIVO EN OTROS LEVANTANDO EL CEMENTERIO DE DOS ANOS NO SE HAN PLANTEADO ARBOLES.

SO IT'S QUESTION IS FOR SEVENTH STREET.

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF SEVENTH STREET? BECAUSE THERE WAS THE TREES THAT WERE RIPPED OUT OF THE GROUND AND SOME OF SOME OF THE ROOTS WERE LIFTING THE CEMENT AND SINCE THEY WERE CUT, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SINCE THEN.

SO HE'S JUST WONDERING WHAT THE STATUS IS OF RENOVATING AND SEVENTH STREET PUEBLO ES MUSS ES MAS GRANDE POR EJEMPLO MALVADA CHESTER ESOS PUEBLOS SACAR DEL CENTRO DE ESTE PUEBLO QUEDANDO ATRAS. HE'S ALSO STATING WASCO IS MUCH BIGGER THAN MCFARLAND AND SHAFTER AND THEIR DOWNTOWN.

AND OUR DOWNTOWN IS FALLING BEHIND COMPARED TO MCFARLAND AND AND SHAFTER'S DOWNTOWN.

AND YOU ALREADY EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT WE JUST DISCUSSED PART OF THE DOWNTOWN.

YOU CAN JUST MAKE A COMMENT IN THE COMMENT RECEIVED.

I'M SORRY, IT'S NOT AN AGENDA ITEM, SO COMMENT RECEIVED.

ANSWER HIS QUESTION. ANSWER.

WELL, I THINK WE CAN WE CAN ANSWER A QUESTION IN A IN A CAPSULIZED FORM.

WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A LONG BACK AND FORTH BANTER, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO POINT OUT IF IF THE COUNCIL WILL ALLOW ME, I'LL TRY TO PARAPHRASE IT AS BEST I CAN.

SO I THINK YOU CAN LET HIM KNOW IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, THAT THE CITY HAS RECEIVED A FAIRLY LARGE BLOCK OF FUNDING, ABOUT $5 MILLION TO DO THIS AND THAT.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT PLAN HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MORE THAN A YEAR.

EAST LOS PLANES PARA RECONSTRUIR LA CITY.

YEAH YEAH YEAH.

SUPERO UN ANO MEDIO DE TODOS LOS PLANES PERO FINAL.

AND I BELIEVE WE'LL BE RECEIVING BIDS THIS SO WE WILL BE PUTTING IT OUT TO BID AND SHOULD RECEIVE BIDS BACK THIS

[01:05:07]

SUMMER OR FALL.

ES COMO ESTA IN EL PERIODICO PARA VER COMO LOS ARTISTAS QUIEREN HACER EL TRABAJO EN SUS MANOS DE CUANTO CUANDO EL TRABAJO DE SILVA SO ESTO VA A PASAR ESTE MES PERO LA CIUDAD DE TODO EL PROYECTO DE LA PREGUNTA ES UNA PREGUNTA MEDIO DE MUCHOS DE LA ESPOSA MIRA COMO VAMOS A LA.

SO HE SAYS THAT HIM AND HIS WIFE, THEY LIVE HERE ON SEVENTH AND E STREET AND THEIR ELDERLY.

I SAY CINCO SEIS ANOS EN LAS ESQUINAS DE LAS CASAS VAN BAAREN NOSOTROS VAMOS CON UN BOSTON IN LA LA LA LA LA LA.

IF YOU CAN GET HIS CONTACT INFO.

PARA SEGUIR LA LA LA JUNTA ESTELLA VAMOS EXPLICAR DESPUÉS DEL PROCESO.

HE HIS.

HIS MAIN CONCERN WAS JUST THAT SOME OF THE WE DID SOME OF THE SIDEWALKS AND THE RAMPS FOR THE ADA THAT IF FOURTH AND E WAS GOING TO GET WORKED ON.

BUT I REALLY LET HIM KNOW THAT AFTERWARDS THE COUNCIL MEMBER WOULD BE SPEAKING WITH HIM.

CAN YOU JUST GET HIS PHONE NUMBER FOR PODEMOS? SI SI POR FAVOR.

OKAY, MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER D.

DAVID, ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO FINALIZE AND ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN BUSINESS MACHINES FOR THE CITY SECURITY SYSTEM PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $367,385.89, AND ALLOWING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDERS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED THE AGGREGATE OF 37,000 AND FIND THAT THIS ACTION IS NOT A PROJECT AS DEFINED UNDER CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT STATE GUIDELINES. THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO STATE GUIDELINES SECTION 1506 DC3, NO ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS REQUIRED.

YES. HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN ON OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ROSTER FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

THE REQUIREMENTS HAVE CHANGED AND EVOLVED OVER THOSE YEARS.

THIS YEAR WE FINALLY DID SUCCEED IN PUTTING TOGETHER AN RFP TO GET MULTIPLE VENDORS TO COME OUT AND LOOK AT OUR PROJECT OUT.

AND REALLY WHAT WAS DRIVING THIS IS THAT OUR EXISTING CAMERA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SOFTWARE IS ABOUT TEN YEARS OLD, MAYBE MORE.

IT'S NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN ANY WAY.

WE DON'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL MEDIA, SO THERE ARE MAYBE 3 OR 4 MACHINES IN THE WHOLE CITY THAT HAVE THIS SOFTWARE INSTALLED TO TO TAKE A LOOK AT OUR CAMERAS.

AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CAMERAS IN OUR FLEET THAT ARE OBSOLETE, MALFUNCTIONING OR JUST WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM.

SO WE DID GET A NUMBER OF FOLKS TO COME OUT.

MAYBE 10 OR 12 DIFFERENT COMPANIES RESPONDED TO OUR JOB WALK OFFER AND OUR RFP OF THOSE.

AND WE WENT TO EACH SITE, EACH LOCATION WHERE THE CAMERAS ARE INSTALLED OR WILL BE INSTALLED.

OUT OF THOSE.

WE RECEIVED THE SIX CONFORMING BIDS THAT YOU SEE LISTED IN THE IN THE STAFF REPORT.

AND YOU'LL NOTICE ALSO THERE'S A VERY WIDE RANGE OF COSTS THERE.

THIS IS A THIS IS A COMPLICATED RFP.

IT'S A COMPLICATED PROJECT.

IT WAS DIFFICULT, AGAIN, TO GET DOWN TO AN APPLES TO APPLES COMPARISON.

IN THE END, THOUGH, THE TOP PRIORITY FOR STAFF WAS TO CHOOSE A NEW VIDEO SYSTEM THAT MET OUR NEEDS.

CAMERAS COME AND GO.

MANUFACTURERS LEAPFROG EACH OTHER AS FAR AS CAMERA CAPABILITIES AND PRICE AND FEATURES.

BUT THE VMS, AS WE CALL IT, THE VIDEO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SOFTWARE AND HOW THAT WORKS, HOW THE STORAGE IS CONFIGURED WAS REALLY DEEMED TO BE A TOP

[01:10:03]

PRIORITY FOR US. WE WANT SOMETHING WE CAN PICK WITH WITH A SOLID MANUFACTURER PUBLISHER THAT WE WON'T FIND OURSELVES IN THIS SAME POSITION TEN YEARS FROM NOW WITH A DEFUNCT PUBLISHER AND AND NO SUPPORT.

SO THE THAT DISTILLED DOWN TO REALLY THE TOP PRIORITIES WITHIN THE VMS WERE THE ABILITY TO HAVE A BOTH LOCAL AND CLOUD BASED STORAGE TO SUPPORT AS FULLY AS POSSIBLE THE CAPABILITIES OF A WIDE VARIETY OF CAMERAS, INCLUDING OUR EXISTING FLEET OF CAMERAS, THE ONES THAT ARE STILL IN GOOD SHAPE.

WE WANTED THE SOFTWARE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THOSE AND THAT WAS NOT TRUE IN ALL THE RECOMMENDED VMS. WE ALSO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE CAMERA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN WHAT'S GENERALLY CALLED THE ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH IS THE ABILITY TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS TO SUPPORT PROX CARDS INSTEAD OF KEYS AT MANY DOORS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

AND CERTAINLY ANY NEW FACILITIES THAT WE BUILD, WE WANT TO TRY TO AVOID USING KEYS.

THEY'RE EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN.

SOMEBODY QUITS AND YOU GOT TO REKEY A BUNCH OF LOCKS IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR KEYS BACK FROM THEM OR IF KEYS ARE STOLEN OR SOMETHING.

WHEREAS PROX CARDS CAN BE DISABLED IMMEDIATELY.

SO THAT THAT WAS A AND I HAD PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH AN ACCESS AND CAMERA MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS THAT WERE NOT WELL INTEGRATED AND IT WAS A DAILY HASSLE TO TRY TO MANAGE THOSE AND DEAL WITH IT.

SO WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO IT, THERE WERE TWO FINALISTS ON THIS THAT THAT SEEMED TO MEET THOSE NEEDS, AND THAT WAS AMERICAN BUSINESS SYSTEMS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST.

AND AT THE TOP OF THE LIST WAS MASS SECURITY.

IN THE END, THROUGH A BACK AND FORTH OF QUESTIONS AND A FOLLOW UP INTERVIEWS WITH THOSE TWO PROPOSERS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THE VMS AND OVERALL PROJECT SCOPE PROPOSED BY BY AMERICAN BUSINESS MACHINES BEST FIT THE CITY'S NEEDS NOW AND GOING INTO THE FUTURE.

SO WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IS THAT COMPARISON I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT.

THE MILESTONE VMS THAT IS BEING PROPOSED BY AMERICAN BUSINESS MACHINES OR ABM.

IT DOES HAVE COMPLETE INTEGRATION OF THE CAMERA CONTROL AND IN FACT AND THE ACCESS CONTROL.

AND IN FACT, THE SYSTEM PROPERLY CONFIGURED CAN DO THINGS LIKE IF THERE'S MOTION IN FRONT OF A DOOR, A CAMERA WILL BE ACTIVATED THAT KNOWS IT'S NEAR THERE AND IT WILL SET THE SOFTWARE UP SO THAT WHOEVER IT MIGHT BE, WHETHER IT'S A DISPATCHER OR SOMEBODY ELSE THAT'S HANDLING THE SECURITY AT THAT PARTICULAR TIME, CAN WATCH WHO'S COMING IN, WHO'S GOING, OR IF IT'S SOMEBODY THAT IS THERE TO DO WORK THAT DOESN'T HAVE A KEY TO LET THEM IN ONE TIME AND HAVE CONTROL OF THAT SITUATION.

THERE ARE ALSO ADVANCED FEATURES LIKE FOLLOWING AN INDIVIDUAL.

MANY OF THESE NEWER CAMERAS THAT WE WILL BE ACQUIRING OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS WILL COME WITH MORE AND MORE EFFECTIVE RECOGNITION SOFTWARE.

ALREADY THE ONES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT CAN TELL IF WE SAY WE WANT TO CAPTURE MOTION AND RECORD MOTION IN THIS FIELD OF VIEW OF A CAMERA.

THE ANALYTICS IT'S CALLED IN THE CAMERAS CAN NOW TELL BETWEEN A DOG AND A BIRD AND A HUMAN.

AND SO WE WON'T RECORD THE BIRDS FLYING BACK AND FORTH.

WE WON'T RECORD A STRAY DOG PASSING THROUGH, BUT IT WILL KNOW AND IDENTIFY THAT THIS IS A HUMAN IF WE PUT THAT CRITERIA ON THERE.

AND CAPABILITIES LIKE FACIAL RECOGNITION AND WHATNOT ARE SUPPORTED BY THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN THOUGH WE MAY NOT NEED THOSE FEATURES OUT OF THE GATE.

THE OTHER PROPOSAL OF AMERICAN BUSINESS MACHINES WAS TO SUPPLY FOR THE CAMERAS THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDED OR REPLACED TO USE A MANUFACTURER CALLED AXIS.

THEY HAVE A VERY WIDE RANGE OF CAMERAS.

I'VE PERSONALLY HAD GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH AXIS CAMERAS.

THEY HAVE MANY MODELS, MANY TYPES OF ANALYTIC SUPPORT, AND BOTH THE MILESTONE VMS AND THE AXIS CAMERAS OPERATE AS INDEPENDENT SUBSIDIARIES OF CANON COMPANY OF THE COPIER AND CAMERA.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S A GIANT CORPORATION.

AND SO THERE IS INTERNAL COLLABORATION OF THESE TWO SETS OF COMPANIES.

SO THERE IS ADVANCED SUPPORT FOR THE CAMERAS WITHIN THE MILESTONE PRODUCT.

IT DOES SUPPORT THE HYBRID STORAGE OPTIONS.

SO IF WE HAVE AN INITIAL LOCAL STORAGE CAPACITY AND WE HAVE EITHER A SHORT OR LONG TERM NEED TO EXPAND THAT,

[01:15:04]

IT CAN BE DONE WITH THROUGH A CLOUD SUBSCRIPTION WITHOUT HAVING TO UPGRADE OUR SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE.

PART OF OUR PROPOSAL WAS THAT THERE WOULD BE FOR EXISTING DOOR LOCATIONS TO TEST THIS ACCESS CONTROL CAPABILITIES AND THOSE HAVE BEEN CHOSEN.

THOSE ARE INCLUDED. WE'LL HAVE FOUR FOUR DOORS WITH THE ELECTRIC LATCHES, THE CONNECTION BACK TO THE CONTROLLERS AND THE CARD READERS AT THOSE DOOR LOCATIONS.

LET'S SCROLL DOWN A LITTLE BIT, MONICA, TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T FORGET ANYTHING HERE.

OH, THE FUNDING.

SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.

IT IS POTENTIALLY A LITTLE CONFUSING, BUT I'LL WALK US THROUGH IT HERE.

THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR RELATED CIP PROJECTS IDENTIFIED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.

SOME HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED AT ALL.

THEY'RE JUST WAITING FOR THIS PROJECT TO COME ALONG AND CATCH UP.

AND SOME WERE MORE GLOBAL.

SO ON THIS CHART IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU SEE THE FOUR PROJECT NUMBERS, THOSE TIE TO ENTRIES IN THE CIP THAT'S BEEN ADOPTED, AND THEN A BRIEF DESCRIPTION. AS LONG AS ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL FUNDING, HOW MUCH MONEY IS REMAINING THERE AND HOW MUCH WE'RE PROPOSING TO PULL FROM EACH OF THOSE SIPS TO ACCOMPLISH THIS PROJECT BEING CONSIDERED TONIGHT? AS YOU CAN SEE, WE WILL NOT FULLY USE THE FUNDS.

THERE WILL BE MORE THAN ENOUGH REMAINING TO COVER BOTH THE CONTINGENCY AND OTHERS, ESPECIALLY IN PROJECT 23016.

THE THIRD ONE DOWN THERE.

THERE WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUNDING REMAINING THERE TO DO SOME OF THE OTHER NETWORK UPGRADES AND WHATNOT THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY PART OF ITS SCOPE.

SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, BECAUSE THIS IS A FAIRLY COMPLEX PROJECT, IT'LL BE DONE IN PHASES.

WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS TO HAVE A LIKE WE DO WITH MANY OF OUR OTHER TECHNICAL VENDORS, WE'LL HAVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT THAT WILL OUTLINE THE INITIAL SCOPE OF THE BUSINESS AS WELL AS DEFINE HOW WE'LL DO BUSINESS GOING FORWARD FOR CHANGE ORDERS OR EXPANSIONS OR CONTRACTIONS OF THE PROJECT ITSELF.

SO THAT WOULD BE HANDLED WITHIN APPROVED BUDGETS, OF COURSE, BUT WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO RE EXECUTE THAT MASTER AGREEMENT EACH TIME.

IT WOULD JUST BE A SERIES OF TASK ORDERS.

SO HOPEFULLY I COVERED THAT WELL.

BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.

ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS TIME? SEEING NONE. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE MEMBERS, MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA.

THE YOU SAY HERE THAT THERE ARE SUFFICIENT FUNDS THAT REMAIN IN SHIPS ENDING IN TWO, SIX AND 16 TO COVER THE REQUESTED CONTINGENCY.

HOWEVER, THAT'S ALSO GOING TO BE THE.

MY POINT IS, YOU SAID THAT THE NETWORK AND BUDGET FOR NUMBER 16, THERE'S GOING TO BE SUBSTANTIAL REMAINING IN THAT CIP FOR THOSE UPGRADES IN THE FUTURE.

IF WE DO EAT INTO THAT CONTINGENCY, THOUGH, THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE'S GOING TO BE LESS.

DO WE HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT OR ARE WE JUST.

YES, JUST SO THE THE 301.

REMAINING IN CIP 16 WILL BE REDUCED BY THAT 100,000.

SO THERE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 200,000 REMAINING IN CIP 16.

THE AMOUNT OF THE CONTINGENCY IS IS 37,000 AT THIS POINT.

AND TO BE HONEST, IN REVIEWING THE THE PROPOSAL, WE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT WASN'T INCLUDED IN OUR BASE COST.

SO THERE'S NOTHING THAT I'VE GOT IN MIND THAT SAYS, OH, THAT WAS WE MISSED THAT IN OUR SCOPE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THESE IMMEDIATE CHANGE ORDERS.

I SO WE CHOSE 10% AS, AS A ROUND NUMBER WITH THE PROJECT.

SO THERE MAY THERE ARE ALSO THE WAY IT'S STRUCTURED, THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL OR THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS.

ONE OF THE BIG COSTS WAS METHOD OF COMMUNICATION BACK TO OUR NETWORK FROM REMOTE SITES LIKE WELL SITES.

THE PODS HAVE A COUPLE OF.

YOU MAY NOT HAVE HEARD THAT TERM BEFORE, BUT MANY YEARS AGO THE CITY PURCHASED WHAT ARE CALLED PODS AND THEY'RE A SOLAR POWERED BOX.

THEY'RE ON A COUPLE OF TELEPHONE POLES SCATTERED AROUND TOWN, AND THEY HAVE TWO OR MORE CAMERAS ON EACH BOX.

THOSE HAVE BEGUN TO FAIL.

AND SO THERE'S A THERE'S A SMALL POSSIBILITY THAT THEY CAN BE REPAIRED AND THROWN RIGHT BACK INTO SERVICE AND ADAPTED TO OUR NEW SYSTEM.

[01:20:01]

OR WE MAY LOOK AT A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT, TAKE THE ANTIQUATED EQUIPMENT DOWN OFF THE POLE AND REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING PERHAPS EVEN LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE REPAIRS WOULD HAVE BEEN.

SO WITHOUT ACTUALLY CLIMBING UP ON POLES AND INVESTING HOURS DOING THAT RESEARCH, THE VENDORS PROPOSE THE MOST EXPENSIVE VERSION SO THEY WOULDN'T GET CAUGHT SHORT SO AND SO.

BUT TO GET BACK TO ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION, WE HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED POTENTIAL STRONG POTENTIALS FOR CHANGE ORDERS, AND WE HAVE NOT WE DO NOT HAVE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED IT NETWORK TASKS REMAINING TO DO WITH THE REST OF PROJECT 16.

THE THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE ON THE NETWORKING EQUIPMENT RELATED TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THIS.

IT'LL BE SEPARATE FROM THE CAMERA SYSTEM AND COMES FROM A DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES.

I REALIZE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 3000 737,000 AND 300,000 IS A LOT.

SO I'M NOT TERRIBLY WORRIED.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT THAT'S IN PLACE FOR THE FUTURE WHEN WE DO NEED THAT.

I APPRECIATE THAT CONCERN, MEMBER MEDINA.

IT'S A LOT. IT IS A LOT.

IT'S A LOT TO TO FOLLOW.

FOLLOW THROUGH WITH. I GUESS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT COME UP IS YOU MENTIONED THIS IS SEPARATE FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT PACKAGE.

RIGHT? SO IS THIS SOMETHING THAT'S MANAGED BY THAT COMPANY AND THEN OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT'S MANAGED INTERNALLY? LIKE IF THERE IS SOME SORT OF SECURITY BREACH OR THINGS LIKE THAT, LIKE WHAT'S THE CONCEPT BEHIND IT? LIKE WHO'S MANAGING THE DAY TO DAY OR IS IT MORE OF THE SECURITY? LIKE NOW WE HAVE A PROXY CARD TO CHECK INTO THE BUILDING, BUT IS THERE SOMEBODY MANAGING DAY TO DAY OR THAT'S MORE THE SECURITY COMPANY AND WE JUST KIND OF CALL THEM WHEN WE NEED SOMETHING.

SO SO IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ANSWERS TO THAT.

ONE IS THAT REMOTE MONITORING OF ANY SYSTEM LIKE THIS IS ALWAYS AN OPTION.

IT COSTS MONEY TO DO THAT, TO CONTRACT WITH A MONITORING COMPANY THAT'S ALREADY IN THIS BUSINESS PIPE.

THE FEEDS TO THEM.

AND AND THEY WOULD HAVE ADDITIONAL SERVICES THAT THEY WOULD PROVIDE UNDER THAT AGREEMENT.

BUT THE BUT THE PROPOSED OR AT LEAST THE ENVISIONED USE OF THIS IS WITHIN A FEW MONTHS WE WILL HAVE A 24 OVER SEVEN DISPATCH CENTER AND WE WILL HAVE STAFF AND THIS IS HOW IT'S HANDLED IN MOST SMALLER CITIES, IS THAT THE THE SOFTWARE IS CAPABLE OF BRINGING THE ATTENTION OF A OF A VIEWER TO WHERE THERE IS ACTIVITY ON THE SCREEN.

AND THIS IS A COMMON SIDE TASK OF DISPATCHERS BETWEEN CALLS AND DURING CALLS, MOST IMPORTANTLY SO THAT DISPATCHERS ARE TRAINED ON HOW TO USE THIS SOFTWARE.

AND WHEN THERE IS A CALL, THERE WILL BE A KNOWLEDGE THROUGH TRAINING AND FAMILIARITY THAT, OH, WE HAVE A CAMERA NEAR THAT INTERSECTION, THE DISPATCHER CAN BRING THAT UP AND GIVE THE FEEDBACK TO THE THE OFFICER IN THE FIELD REAL TIME.

IN ADDITION, THIS VMS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING HAS A MOBILE OPTION SO THAT THE OFFICER AND NOT IN THEORY BUT IN PRACTICE WILL BE ABLE TO VIEW THE CAMERAS ON THEIR LAPTOP THAT'S IN THE INTERCEPTOR OR FROM A TABLET OR FROM THEIR PHONE POTENTIALLY.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS THERE.

AND WHEN I SAID THAT THE SYSTEMS ARE SEPARATE FOR SECURITY REASONS, THE THE PHYSICAL SERVER THAT THE SOFTWARE, THE VMS SOFTWARE IS RUNNING ON IS IS NOT PART OF THE POLICE NETWORK, BUT IT IS ACCESSIBLE, FULLY ACCESSIBLE BY THE CHIEF, BY THE DISPATCHERS, BY OFFICERS THAT ARE WORKING ON REVIEWING SECURITY VIDEO FROM AN INCIDENT PREVIOUSLY AND WITH THE ABILITY TO EXPORT THAT VIDEO IN A CHAIN OF CUSTODY MANNER WHERE IT CAN BE USED AS EVIDENCE.

SO. SO I SEE.

AT LEAST INITIALLY, WE WOULD NOT SIGN ON FOR FULL TIME EXTERNAL MONITORING.

BUT IF THAT PROVES TO BE AN ADVANTAGE, WE CERTAINLY COULD HAVE THAT OPTION.

OKAY. NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

MAYOR REYNA, I HAVE A QUESTIONS.

OKAY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS.

OKAY? WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CAMERAS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON TELEPHONE POLES AND ALSO CAMERAS THAT WILL BE MONITORING CITY PROPERTIES.

YES. AND ALSO ALLOW FOR ACCESS TO SPECIFIC CITY PROPERTIES.

RIGHT. WE DO NOT HAVE THAT CAPABILITY AT ALL TODAY, RIGHT?

[01:25:03]

NO. AND I'M FOR IT.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.

YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN IT IN ACTION WITH OTHER INDUSTRY.

I WON'T GO INTO THAT, BUT I'VE SEEN IT AND IT WORKS BECAUSE IF AN EMPLOYEE DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS TO A PARTICULAR AREA, THAT KEYLESS ENTRY WILL NOT WORK.

CORRECT. THEIR NAME IS NOT ON IT.

AND I'M FOR ALL OF THAT.

BUT I WANT TO UNDERSTAND THIS FUNDING BECAUSE A FEW YEARS BACK WE APPROVED MONEY TO HAVE CAMERAS THROUGHOUT THE CITY THAT WOULD CAPTURE, FOR EXAMPLE, LICENSE PLATES.

THAT'S THE FLOCK SYSTEM.

THAT'S A SEPARATE CIP, AND IT WILL BE INDEPENDENT OF THIS.

OKAY. BUT WE APPROVED TWO, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY.

AND SO ARE WE USING ANY OF THOSE TO TO TO INTEGRATE THIS PARTICULAR.

WE ARE NOT USING ANY OF THAT FUNDING THAT IS STILL SEPARATE.

THERE WAS THERE WERE LEGAL HURDLES TO GET OVER FOR US TO ACTUALLY PURCHASE AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

THOSE HURDLES WILL GO AWAY WITH THE ACTIVATION OF OUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT.

AND IN THE MEANTIME, THIS THE FLOCK SYSTEMS HAVE MATURED AND NOW THERE ARE WAYS TO SHARE NOTIFICATIONS AND VIDEO ACCESS AMONGST OTHER FLOCK INSTALLATIONS, INCLUDING THREE OF OUR NEIGHBORS.

AND SO IT MAY ACTUALLY TURN OUT TO BE AN ADVANTAGE THAT WE WERE DELAYED IN IMPLEMENTING THAT BECAUSE WE'LL GET A MORE ROBUST PRODUCT.

MAYBE PART OF YOUR QUESTION IS CAN THE CAN THE CONTENT BEING CAPTURED BY OUR REGULAR CAMERAS BE INTEGRATED WITH FLOCK OR VICE VERSA? AND THAT'S WHAT I'M COMING TO, BECAUSE IF YOU RECALL IN NOVEMBER 3RD OF LAST YEAR, THE MAYOR, YOU AND MYSELF MET WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM MCFARLAND, SAUL, SAUL ION AND THE CHIEF OF POLICE.

YES. AND ALSO JOE LINDAHL FROM DELANO AND DISCUSS THE SHARING OF INFORMATION WITH EACH OTHER, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT CRIMES ARE BEING BEING COMMITTED BY GANG MEMBERS THAT LIVE IN THIS DIFFERENT CITIES.

YOU KNOW, DELANO COMING TO WASCO SHAFTER, COMING TO WASCO AND VICE VERSA.

AND SO, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS COMING TO AND THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHERE THE FUNDING IS COMING FROM, BECAUSE THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR US TO, TO PROVIDE, IN ADDITION TO HAVING OUR OWN POLICE DEPARTMENT, TO PROVIDING BETTER PUBLIC SAFETY.

YES. AND SO, YES, I WAS GOING TO ASK THAT QUESTION.

CAN THIS CAMERA SYSTEM THAT YOU'RE LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT, WHICH INCLUDES THOSE CAMERAS ON TELEPHONE POLES, BE ABLE TO INTEGRATE WITH THE FLOCK SYSTEM AND BE ABLE TO SHARE THOSE IMAGES ON THE SPOT? I THINK IT WAS A 22ND DELAY WITH OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES, OTHER POLICE DEPARTMENTS NOT OUT OF THE BOX. AND THE LOCATION.

AND THE PURPOSE OF THE TWO TYPES OF CAMERAS ARE FAIRLY DISTINCT.

SO THE REASON THAT FLOCK IS SO POWERFUL IS BECAUSE OF ITS LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION, ITS ABILITY TO HAVE WATCHLISTS OF LICENSE PLATES AND TO NOTIFY BOTH VIA A TEXT MESSAGE OR SOME OTHER METHOD, AND TO HAVE THIS ADVANCED SHARING.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE WOULD WANT TO SHARE THAT CAMERA, WHICH WOULD BE PART OF OUR POTENTIALLY NOT THAT ONE, THAT ONE AS PART OF OUR CITY FACILITY MONITORING CAMERA SYSTEM WITH MCFARLAND OR DELANO OR, OR SHAFTER.

SO, SO I THINK THE TWO THE TWO CAN BE WHICH WE HEARD THAT NIGHT.

THERE ARE WAYS TO DRAW OTHERS IN.

BUT THE POWER OF THE FLOCK SYSTEM IS IN IN ITS DESIGN PURPOSE.

AND THE LOCATION OF THE FLOCK CAMERAS WILL BE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OF THAT DESIGN.

WHEREAS THE CAMERAS THAT ARE ON OUR STANDARD CITY VMS ARE ABOUT FACILITY PROTECTION, ABOUT KNOWN AREAS WHERE SOMETHING OTHER THAN LICENSE PLATE IS GOING TO HELP YOU SOLVE A CRIME WHERE WE WANT TO PUT THOSE.

AND THE PODS WERE REALLY AN ATTEMPT AT THAT.

JUST TECHNICALLY THEY HAVEN'T WORKED OUT AS.

AS WELL AS WE HOPED.

RIGHT. SO IS THE ANSWER NO.

THE PRICE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE SOMEHOW INTEGRATED INTO HELPING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WHETHER THEY ABSOLUTELY WILL.

THE FLOCK MONITORING WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE SAME WITH THE DISPATCHERS AS WELL AND WITH THE OFFICERS.

THE RESEARCH BACK INTO FLOCK HISTORY TO LOCATE WHEN AND WHERE A PARTICULAR PLATE WAS OR A MAKE OR MODEL OF CAR ALL AVAILABLE TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

[01:30:05]

IN THE SAME WAYS.

THEY JUST ARE TWO PURPOSE BUILT SYSTEMS WITH.

I. I WOULD QUESTION WHETHER IT WOULD BE WORTH THE EFFORT TO TRY TO INTEGRATE THEM.

I HAVE TO BELIEVE IT'S TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE, BUT IT MAY BE COST PROHIBITIVE.

OKAY. AND SO JUST ONE MORE QUESTION.

JUST TO BE CLEAR, THOSE FUNDING, THAT FUNDING THAT WE HAD APPROVED FOR THE FLOCK SYSTEM AND I BELIEVE WE APPROVED TWO, IS NOT BEING USED FOR THIS PURPOSE.

THAT IS CORRECT.

NOT TOUCHED AT ALL.

ALL RIGHT. THAT ANSWERS MY QUESTION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MEMBER SALDANA.

NO QUESTIONS. AND I HAVE.

GO AHEAD, SIR. AND YOU ALLUDED TO IT.

THE OBSTACLES THAT WE'D HOPEFULLY CLEAR ONCE WE DO HAVE OUR OWN.

I'M SORRY. I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

MEMBER GARCIA, CAN YOU SPEAK UP? YOU ALLUDED TO THOSE OBSTACLES THAT WE HAD WITH THE FLOCK SYSTEM POTENTIALLY GOING AWAY WHEN WE HAVE OUR OWN DEPARTMENT. COULD YOU.

YES. EXPAND WHY? AND THEN MAYBE ARE WE GOING TO RUN INTO THESE SIMILAR OBSTACLES? BECAUSE I KNOW WE HAD TO HAVE LIKE IT WAS IT WAS THE BIGGEST QUESTION WHEN WE ENCOUNTERED THOSE OBSTACLES WAS WHO WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THIS AND HOW ARE WE SHARING THAT AND WHO HAD ACCESS AND SO FORTH? YES. SO THOSE ARE THERE'S ONE QUESTION THAT HELPS ANSWER ALL OF THOSE IN OR A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS.

SO THE ACCESS TO PROTECTED DOJ OR OTHER KINDS OF DATA LIKE CASSETTES AND CDS, THESE ARE STATE AND COUNTY DATABASES THAT HAVE CRIMINAL INFORMATION IN THEM, IS HIGHLY REGULATED AND RESTRICTED TO JUST THE APPROPRIATE FOLKS WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

THE THE OBSTACLE WE RAN INTO WAS WE COULD GO BY THE FLOCK SYSTEM, BUT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE, AS THE CITY WHO HAD ABDICATED OUR POLICE POWERS TO OUR CONTRACT WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, WE WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO VIEW OR HANDLE THE OUTPUT FROM THAT SYSTEM.

WE WOULD HAVE TO RELY ON THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO USE IT, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT AND AND SOLVE CRIMES WITH IT.

AND I THINK WE HAD HEARD THAT AT LEAST ONE CITY HAD.

BUILT A BAILING WIRE AND BUBBLE GUM SOLUTION TO THAT WITH MOUSSE AND WHATNOT BACK AND FORTH.

BUT WHEN THAT WAS TOSSED OVER THE FENCE TO FLOCK AND FOR THE COUNTY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT, IT IT WAS DISCARDED AND DIDN'T HAPPEN. SO NOW I SHOULD HAVE STATED NOT THAT IT PROBABLY WILL BE AVOIDED.

IT WILL BE AVOIDED ONCE THE CONTRACT IS FINISHED OR PERHAPS EVEN AN INTERIM TRANSITION OPERATING, WE WILL REGAIN THOSE POLICE POWERS.

WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO MONITOR AND HANDLE THE FLOCK OUTPUT AS WELL AS OUR OTHER SURVEILLANCE OUTPUT.

INTERNALLY, THERE WILL BE POLICIES PUT INTO PLACE WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROJECT HOPEFULLY PICKED UP AND CUSTOMIZED FOR WASCO RATHER THAN DEVELOP FROM GROUND UP.

THIS IS THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SOMEBODY HAD TO DO THIS.

THAT WILL DO A COUPLE OF THINGS.

ONE IS IT WILL VERY STRONGLY RESTRICT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE ACCESS TO THE SYSTEMS. IT WILL LIMIT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT CAN EXPORT CONTENT FROM THE SYSTEM DOWN TO AN EVEN SMALLER NUMBER OF PEOPLE, FOLKS THAT WOULD NORMALLY HANDLE CRITICAL EVIDENCE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND ALSO THE BOTH THE VMS AND THE NEW CAMERAS WE'RE LOOKING AT WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO BLACK OUT AREAS THAT SHOULD NOT BE SURVEILLED.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE'RE HAVING TROUBLE IN AN ALLEY AND WE INSTALL A CAMERA TO WATCH THAT ALLEY AT THE CAMERA HARDWARE LEVEL, WE CAN BLOCK THE BACKYARDS OF ADJACENT NEIGHBORS SO THAT WE DON'T EVEN ACCIDENTALLY CAPTURE THEIR DOG RUNNING AROUND IN THE BACKYARD.

SO THAT WILL JUST APPEAR AS BLACK.

THE VIDEO IS NOT EVEN CAPTURED BY THE CAMERA AT THE CAMERA, LET ALONE BACK AT THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

SO IT IS COMPLICATED.

IT GETS INTO A CAN OF WORMS, BUT THERE ARE TEMPLATES FOR THOSE POLICIES, TEMPLATES FOR THOSE PROCEDURES TO BE PUT INTO PLACE.

AND BETWEEN THE CHIEF AND I AND OUR IT RESOURCES, WE WE WILL MANAGE THAT AND PROTECT PUBLIC PRIVACY AS WELL AS THE THE QUALITY OF THE EVIDENCE THAT MIGHT BE COLLECTED.

[01:35:07]

AS FAR AS THOSE THE FOLKS ON THE LIST THAT CAN ACCESS OR EVEN DOWNLOAD OR EXPORT ANY OF THAT INFORMATION.

ARE WE TALKING? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT JUST POLICE STAFF OR IS IT GOING TO BE CITY STAFF? I KNOW THAT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME TERM, BUT IT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE NON-OFFICER STAFF.

IT WOULD BE SWORN OFFICERS OR INDIVIDUAL STAFF WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH SIMILAR BACKGROUND THAT WHO'S PART OF THEIR JOB DESCRIPTION IS TO HANDLE EVIDENCE.

SO IT WOULD BE CAREFULLY MANAGED.

SO, YES, IT WOULDN'T BE WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO JUST THROW IT UP ON THE SCREEN HERE OTHER THAN FOR A DEMO OF 1 OR 2 CAMERAS, JUST TO SHOW COUNSEL HOW IT WORKS. BUT BUT THAT WOULD BE AN ADMINISTRATOR LEVEL OF ACTIVITY AND A SWORN OFFICER KIND OF ACTIVITY.

SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, A CITY CLERK OR THE ASSISTANT OPENING THE FRONT DOOR OR THE COURTHOUSE DOOR FOR ACCESS CONTROL.

ABSOLUTELY. SO THE IDEA WOULD BE FOR A CITY CLERK TO HAVE A PROFILE THAT SAYS THIS PROFILE ALLOWS SOMEONE INSIDE CITY HALL TO OPEN A DOOR AFTER HOURS FOR A DELIVERY DURING LUNCH HOUR OR WHATNOT, RATHER THAN GO AND UNLOCK TWO DOORS.

YEAH, BE EXPOSED TO WHOEVER'S OUT THERE.

A VIRTUAL BUTTON CAN BE PUSHED.

THE DOOR WILL SNAP OPEN, THE PERSON CAN DROP IT OFF, IT LOCKS BEHIND THEM.

SO THERE WOULD BE A WIDE NUMBER OF USES LIKE THAT.

AN ELECTRICIAN COMES OUT TO LOOK AT A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF OUR WELLS.

WE CAN UNLOCK THE GATE TO GET IN AND THE AND THE DOOR TO THE EQUIPMENT.

AND THAT'S ABSOLUTELY REASONABLE.

I JUST WHEN WHEN YOU HAD MENTIONED WHEN WE STARTED WADING INTO THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT THE POLICE ACCESS AND CONTROL, IT BEGAN TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS ALL GOING TO BE DISPATCHER CONTROL.

NO. SO YOU CLEARED THAT UP FOR ME? THANK YOU. YES. BUT AS FAR AS, AS YOU KNOW, DOOR ACCESS VERSUS CAMERA ACCESS, THOSE ARE VERY TWO DIFFERENT, VERY CONVERSATIONS INTEGRATED AT THE SOFTWARE LEVEL.

BUT THE PERMISSIONS AND THE ABILITY TO ACCESS THOSE FEATURES CAN BE TOTALLY SEGREGATED.

YES. ON A ON A DOOR BY DOOR BASIS, ON A PERSON BY PERSON.

WITHIN TIMES OF DAY, IT CAN BE LIMITED, RIGHT.

WE ALWAYS KNOW WHO DID WHAT AND WHERE.

AND THE LOGGING IS EXTENSIVE.

YES. THANK YOU.

I MOVE TO APPROVE.

SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED.

I MOVED AND SECOND BY MEMBER.

CAN WE PLEASE HAVE THE VOTE BY ROLL CALL? MAYOR MARTINEZ. HI, MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA.

HI, COUNCILMEMBER MEDINA.

HI, COUNCILMEMBER REYNA.

HI. COUNCILMEMBER SALDANA.

A MOTION BY MAYOR MARTINEZ SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER REYNA TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION MOTION, IS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.

MOVING ON TO ITEM E, ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO FINALIZE AND EXECUTE CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENTS WITH CROSSWHITE CONSTRUCTION, INC AS A

[12) e. Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to finalize and execute construction agreements with Crosswhite Construction, Inc. as the general contractor and NGA 911 Electrical for the Wasco PD reconfiguration project; procure and install necessary HVAC equipment; and authorization to execute change orders related to this project not to exceed an aggregate amount of $14,000; and Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required.]

GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND A 911 ELECTRICAL FOR THE WASCO PD RECONFIGURATION PROJECT PROCURE AND INSTALL NECESSARY HVAC EQUIPMENT AND AUTHORIZE TO EXECUTE CHANGE ORDERS RELATED TO THIS PROJECT, NOT TO EXCEED AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF $14,000 AND FIND THAT THIS ACTION IS NOT A PROJECT AS DEFINED UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.

STATE GUIDELINES. THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO STATE GUIDELINES SECTION 1506 DC3, NO ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS REQUIRED.

YES. HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

WE'LL BREAK THIS DOWN. SIMILAR.

SO IT'S SO IT'S NOT CONFUSING.

SO THIS IS A BUNDLE OF CONTRACTS AND EQUIPMENT THAT IS LARGELY ONLY COVERS THE COST AND THE ACTIVITIES ABOUT RECONFIGURING THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR THAT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT CURRENTLY OCCUPIES TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL FEATURES THAT WE WILL NEED FOR OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT OPERATION.

CURRENTLY NEXT DOOR, THERE IS NO DISPATCH ROOM OR EQUIPMENT OR WIRING OR ANYTHING AND THERE IS NO COMPUTER ROOM.

THE RESOURCES THAT THE SHERIFF'S USE ARE HOUSED ON NORRIS ROAD OR OTHER PLACES AND ARE ACCESSED REMOTELY.

SO THOSE TWO PRIMARY FEATURES NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE SPACE NEXT DOOR STAFF HAS WORKED WITH THE SHERIFF'S STAFF AND SETTLED ON WHERE THOSE RESOURCES NEED TO BE ADDED NEXT DOOR TO HAVE A MINIMUM COST AND IMPACT ON THE SHERIFF'S OPERATIONS WHILE WE'RE DOING THIS CONFIGURATION, BECAUSE THIS WON'T ALL HAPPEN ON ONE DAY, THIS WILL BE A PROCESS OF.

[01:40:07]

OF TRANSITIONING FROM SHERIFF'S POLICING TO POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICING.

THE THIRD PIECE OF THAT IS THE LOBBY COMING IN FROM F STREET INTO THE THE FACILITY THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHO OF YOU HAVE BEEN IN THERE, BUT IT'S A VERY SMALL LOBBY.

IT'S NOT SECURE.

IT'S A FLIMSY KIND OF TEMPORARY WALL AND A DOOR AND A AND A REGULAR GLASS WINDOW FOR DOING TRANSACTIONS WITH VISITORS TO THE DEPARTMENT.

SO THAT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A VULNERABILITY AND AN AREA WE NEED TO IMPROVE.

FIRST OF ALL, TO EXPAND THE THE LOBBY AREA ITSELF AND THEN PUT APPROPRIATE BALLISTICALLY RATED TRANSACTION WINDOWS AND DOORS AND COVERINGS OVER THE WALLS. AGAIN, A VERY STANDARD PART OF POLICE DEPARTMENT BUILDING SPECIFICATIONS.

SO THIS THIS COLLECTION OF TASKS HERE REPRESENTS BRINGING THOSE PARTS OF THE BUILDING UP TO SPEED.

LIKE MANY OF OUR PROJECTS LATELY, WE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME GETTING CONTRACTORS TO COME OUT.

MAY HAVE BEEN THE RELATIVELY SMALL SIZE OF THIS WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

IT MAY BE THE PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENT THAT DISCOURAGED RESPONDENTS OR OTHER FACTORS THAT WE CURRENTLY JUST DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND. NONETHELESS, WE DID RECEIVE A WHAT WE FEEL WAS A VERY REASONABLE ESTIMATE FROM THE ONLY GENERAL CONTRACTOR TO RESPOND, WHICH WAS, YEAH, CROSSWHITE CONSTRUCTION.

AND THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACTOR HAD SPECIFIED THAT THEY WOULD SUBCONTRACT THE ELECTRICAL WORK.

SO ANOTHER PART OF THIS JOB IS THAT THE SUPPLIER OF THE ACTUAL 911 SERVER AND EQUIPMENT WHICH IS FUNDED BY THE STATE AT NO COST TO THE CITY, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE THEIR ELECTRICIAN SHOW UP TO DO THE 911 SPECIFIC PART OF THE CABLING AND ELECTRICAL WORK.

THERE WAS A HIGHER DEGREE OF CONFIDENCE THAT THAT SAME CONTRACTOR WOULD HAVE THE SKILLS AND THE MANPOWER AND THE SCHEDULE TO GET THE OTHER ELECTRICAL WORK THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN ADDITION TO THE 911 SYSTEM.

AND IT ALSO REDUCES ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR FINGER POINTING BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL IS GOING TO HAVE TO COEXIST AND GET ALONG.

WE WOULD HAVE ONE DESIGN, ONE ONE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR AND CROSSWHITE CONSTRUCTION SAW THE WISDOM IN THIS AND WAS WILLING AND HAPPY TO SUBCONTRACT OR TO ELIMINATE THE SUBCONTRACT ELECTRICAL WORK FROM HIS BID AND ALLOW US TO FULFILL THAT WORK THROUGH THE 911 ELECTRICIAN.

THAT MAKES SENSE SO FAR.

IT'S KIND OF A CIRCLE THERE.

THE OTHER PIECE OF THIS WAS THE AIR CONDITIONING REQUIRED FOR THE NEW SERVER ROOM THAT WILL BE CONFIGURED THERE.

WE HAD A COUPLE OF HVAC SPECIALISTS COME OUT.

THEY BOTH DECLINED TO SUPPLY QUOTES.

WHY? I DON'T KNOW. IT'S WE KNOW SOMEDAY WE'LL WE'LL UNDERSTAND THAT AND A COUPLE OF OTHERS THAT CAME OUT, ELECTRICIANS AND SO FORTH, THAT ALSO DECLINED TO QUOTE.

BUT I THINK FORTUNATELY WE HAVE A GOOD CONFIGURATION HERE.

THE CROSSWHITE CONSTRUCTION IS SOMETHING THAT STAFF HAS HAD POSITIVE EXPERIENCE.

A COMPANY THAT STAFF HAS HAD POSITIVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE PAST AND AS I SAID, FOR THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THE PRICING WAS WAS DEEMED TO BE MORE THAN REASONABLE.

SO THE PROPOSAL IS TO HAVE A NUMBER OF THINGS HAPPEN TONIGHT.

ONE IS TO APPROVE THE GENERAL CONTRACT AGREEMENT WITH WITH CROSSWHITE CONSTRUCTION TO NEGOTIATE AND FINALIZE A SEPARATE AGREEMENT WITH THE 911 TO PROVIDE THE ELECTRICAL, NOT JUST THE 911 ELECTRICAL, BUT ALSO THE CITY'S SPECIFIC WIRING WORK TO APPROVE STAFF TO ACQUIRE BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY, THE APPROPRIATE HVAC EQUIPMENT.

THERE'S A PRETTY COMPELLING DISCUSSION GOING ON NOW THAT IF THE ELECTRICIAN PROVIDES THE ELECTRICAL TO A PREDETERMINED AGREED SPOT THAT OUR STAFF CAN INVOLVE, IT'S ONE OF THESE MINI SPLIT SYSTEMS SIMPLY NEEDS A MOUNT AND A TWO INCH HOLE DRILLED AND SOME WIRES AND TUBES PULLED.

SO GIVEN OUR PROBLEMS WITH GETTING CONTRACTORS TO WORK WITH US, I'M INCLINED TO TAKE THAT ROUTE.

[01:45:01]

BUT WE WOULD HAVE FUNDING HERE TO DO IT EITHER WAY.

LASTLY. THERE WOULD BE.

WE DO EXPECT SURPRISES ON THIS PROJECT.

SOME OF THE WALLS, WE'RE NOT SURE WHAT'S BEHIND THEM, WHAT'S IN THEM.

THERE WILL BE SOME SOME WORK DONE THAT WILL HAVE TO REACT TO AS WE GO.

BUT EVEN GIVEN THE SCOPE OF THE ENTIRE PROJECT, I'M PROPOSING A CHANGE ORDER BUDGET OF $14,000 ACROSS ALL THE TRADES HERE. AND THAT'S IT.

CITY STAFF WILL BE PROVIDING SOME OF THE DEMO LABOR WE HAVE, BRINGING OUT THE HAMMERS AGAIN, BRINGING OUT THE HAMMERS.

I THINK DANIEL TOOK HIS WITH HIM, BUT.

OH, YEAH, I DO HAVE A REALLY NICE PRY BAR.

GO. SO THERE ARE 2 OR 3 WALLS THAT IT'S AN ADVANTAGE TO BOTH THE CONTRACTOR AND TO THE CITY TO HAVE THEM THE DRYWALL GONE BEFORE THE CONTRACTOR EVER GETS THERE. SO THEY KNOW COUNCIL MEMBERS INVITED TO THEY GET INTO IT.

I DON'T CHARGE PREVAILING WAGE.

I THINK THAT MIGHT BE AN MMA PROBLEM.

I'LL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.

ALL RIGHT. BUT NONETHELESS, WE FEEL WE FEEL CONFIDENT IN THE CAPABILITIES OF THESE COMPANIES WE'RE LOOKING AT.

WE FEEL, MOST IMPORTANTLY, PERHAPS COMFORTABLE WITH THEIR SCHEDULE AND AVAILABILITY TO COME IN AND PERFORM THESE WHEN THEY NEED TO HAPPEN.

THIS CREATION OF A NEW COMPUTER ROOM IS ABSOLUTELY A CRITICAL PATH ON BRINGING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT UP.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLACE FOR THE 911 EQUIPMENT TO LIVE.

WE HAVE TO HAVE A PLACE FOR OUR OWN SERVERS TO LIVE.

THE SERVERS THAT WILL SUPPORT THE BODY WORN CAMERAS, THE THE CALL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CALLED RIMS THAT YOU'VE ALREADY PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THAT HANDLES CALLS AND CASES.

AND SO WITHOUT THAT IN PLACE, THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER DOMINOES THAT CAN'T FALL.

SO WE WANT TO FAST TRACK THIS.

I WILL SHARE WITH THE COUNCIL THAT WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE IN THAT THE SIZE OF OUR ELECTRICAL SERVICE, THE SIZE OF OUR GENERATOR AND THE REST OF THE EXISTING ELECTRICAL CONFIGURATION OVER THERE WAS AND IS SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE THIS EXPANSION.

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WE WERE VERY CONCERNED THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE STUCK WAITING FOR PG AND E TO HANDLE, YOU KNOW, TO DELIVER NEW SERVICE DROPS.

AND THAT WOULD HAVE PUSHED OUR TIMELINE IN A BAD DIRECTION.

SO OVERALL, THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE AFTER.

AND THERE ARE SUFFICIENT FUNDS PREVIOUSLY IN THE ADOPTED BUDGET FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S START UP COSTS TO HANDLE THIS WORK. SO NO, NO NEW BUDGET ACTION IS NECESSARY.

ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THIS TIME? SEEING NONE. COMMENTS FROM THE MEMBERS.

MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA. NOT AT THIS TIME.

MEMBER MEDINA. NO COMMENTS.

MEMBER REINA. YOU DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AT EXPLAINING THIS, BUT YOUR REPORT EXPLAINS IT REALLY WELL TOO.

WELL, THANK YOU. IT WAS AN EFFORT.

YEAH. SO THE JOB WELL DONE ON THAT.

THANK YOU. NOTHING ELSE? MEMBER SALDANA. NO, NO COMMENTS AND I HAVE NO COMMENTS.

I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

SO MOVED. SECOND.

IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.

MADAM CLERK, CAN WE HAVE THE VOTE BY ROLL CALL? MAYOR MARTINEZ.

MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA.

HI. COUNCIL MEMBER MEDINA.

HI. COUNCIL MEMBER REINA.

I. COUNCIL MEMBER SALDANA.

HI. MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER REINA, SECONDED BY MAYOR PRO TEM GARCIA TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION MOTION IS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED. MOVING ON TO ITEM F, ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO FINALIZE AND APPROVE A PURCHASE ORDER

[12) f. Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to finalize and approve a purchase order with Total Security Solutions for Wasco Police Department Security Materials in an amount of $12,233.00; and Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c) (3), no environmental review is required. ]

WITH TOTAL SECURITY SOLUTIONS FOR WASCO POLICE DEPARTMENT SECURITY MATERIALS IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE OR EXCUSE ME, $12,233 AND FIND THAT THIS ACTION IS NOT A PROJECT AS DEFINED UNDER CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT STATE GUIDELINES.

THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO STATE GUIDELINES SECTION 15 ZERO 60 C THREE, NO ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS REQUIRED.

YES. HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

FINALLY TONIGHT, WE HAVE I MENTIONED IN MY PREVIOUS DISCUSSION THAT THE LOBBY NEEDS TO HAVE A SECURITY UPGRADE TO REPLACE A STANDARD HOLLOW CORE DOOR WITH A WITH A BALLISTICALLY RELATED DOOR AND SO FORTH.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPANIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT DO DOORS AND THERE ARE OTHER COMPANIES THAT ONLY DO WINDOWS.

AND THEN THERE ARE SOME THAT SUPPLY JUST THE WALLBOARD MATERIAL THAT HAS A BALLISTIC RATING.

IT'S BASICALLY KEVLAR IN A FOUR BY EIGHT SHEET, BUT NOT AS MANY COMPANIES OFFER ALL THREE AND EVEN FEWER OFFER THOSE

[01:50:04]

THOSE PRODUCTS IN A RELATIVELY SHORT TERM.

AROUND TIME AND AT REASONABLE PRICES.

SO STAFF DID QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH HERE.

WE GOT A COUPLE OF QUOTES.
