[6.a. Waterworth Progress Report (Hurlbert)]
WE HAVE TWO PRESENTATIONS TODAY.FIRST ONE BEING 6A WATERWORTH PROGRESS REPORT, MR. HURLBERT.
>> I'LL QUICKLY INTRODUCE OUR CONSULTANT.
THE SYSTEM THAT THE COUNCIL HAD APPROVED SOME TIME AGO IS BEING IMPLEMENTED, AND WE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD TIME TO HAVE A QUICK PRESENTATION BY THE PUBLISHER ON WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR, WHAT THE BASIC HIGH-LEVEL OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM IS.
WE HAVE STAFF AVAILABLE IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS BOTH WITH THE CONSULTANT WATERWORTH, AND ALSO WITH OUR STAFF.
I'LL TURN IT OVER TO MR. O'BRIEN TO PROCEED WITH THE PRESENTATION.
>> HELLO, CAN YOU HEAR ME JUST FINE?
>> PERFECT. BEFORE I GET STARTED, [INAUDIBLE] SO THAT WE CAN SHARE OUR SCREEN.
IN ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES AS WELL.
WE CONTINUE REVIEW WORK WITH STAFF TO DEVELOP AS WELL AS AL FRIEND PROGRESS REPORT.
I THINK MAY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY CAN SHARE, BUT THEY CAN SHARE JUST GIVE YOU RUN DOWN.
[00:05:02]
SO WATER THAT TRADITIONALLY CONSULTANTS USE.BE ABLE TO WORK WITH US MODELS TO SATISFY THE PROBIT E.
SO WE HAVE WORKING WITH STAFF DATA TO START LOOKING AT MODELS.
WE HAVE THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.
AS WE DO TATA UNDERSTANDING HOW YOU WERE CUSTOMERS CUSTOMERS ACTUALLY USING SYSTEM BEING THE ABILITY TO ANALYSIS WHICH IS UPCOMING A QUICK PRESENTATION SO SHOW YOU WHAT PROGRESS.
LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF CONTENT COMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
SO I DID IT QUICKLY WATER WATER SERIOUS.
NOW I'M GOING TO START WHAT WATER SERIES.
P TWO FOR THIS SOMEHOW SP WATER.
AND THEN THE 2025 THIS IS BUDGET FOR 2025 WATER SERVICE PERIOD AND 2020 520-62-7208.
THIS IS JUST BEING PROTECTED OFF OF THOSE NUMBERS IN 20255 BUDGET.
THE 3% INFLATION FACTOR IS TO ACCOUNT FOR CS COSTS.
NEXT THING HERE IS THAT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.
AND THIS JUST REPRESENTS PROFITS COMING IN SO THIS HERE'S THIS LARGE S F SIX, 2020 57.28 AND OR BUSINESS ON REPLACEMENTS THAT ARE GOING SSS TOTALLY APPROXIMATELY $24 MILLION.
NEXT THING HERE SERVICE RECORDS 134 SALE OF WATER SERVICE FOR WAS SEVEN HERE.
WE ON ANOTHER OPERATING CONTRIBUTIONS.
GATES ARE MORE LARGELY AND THE 33 AND $700,000.
NOW NOTICE THAT THE SALE OF WATER SURFACE HERE.
NOTE THE RIGHT NOW THERE THERE IS JUST NO GROWTH.
SO STRUCTURE HAS NOT BEEN FACTORED A GET.
A RIGHT NOW RE CONSTRUCTION ON PARED WE CAN TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
ON ALL OPERATING EXPENSES AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.
THIS SHOWS HOW OUR EXPENSE REVENUES, 2023.
REVENUES FOR COVER OUR CAPITAL EXPENSES WELL 25.
THE GRADES THAT WE SAW UP OPERATING AS THOSE EXPENSES TO OVERTAKES THAT CASH DROPPING DOWN DROPPING 020 2029.
NOT DOT LINE LINE DO LINE RESOLD.
[00:10:07]
THAT THAT'S BEEN SET 35%.SPEC CREDIT DOLLAR -35% OF FISCAL YEAR OPERATING EXPENSES AT ANY POINT POINT.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE A 35% AT P SO THAT COVER ANY EXPECTED EXPENSES CASH POSITION.
AND THAT'S AS A $5 MILLION GENS.
SO JUST $5,000,000 OF OUR OPERATING THRESH.
WE CAN THINK OF THESE TWO MINES AS ALMOST LIKE.
WE DON'T WANT ONE CASH POSITION.
HE ALSO BLACK GUIDELINE AND SHOW THAT WE'RE MAKING MORE MONEY THAN THAT.
NOW, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON WATER FRONT? I WOULD JUST SAY COUNSEL HERE THAT NO SPIT OF THE BLACK SOLVE CASH.
THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNSEL? WE CAN CONTINUE.
IT IS OFF THE 2025 BUDGET THREE YOU.
PROJECTS. THIS IS LARGELY DUE TO VARIOUS PROJECTS IN 2026 THAT AMOUNT TO UNDER $500,000.
OPERATING. THIS DIES REPRESENTS OUR TOTAL REVENUE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE WASTEWATER.
YOU THE PREVIOUS FINISHES IS 23 SALE SEWER SERVICES AS WELL AS 2020.
THIS IS ASUMO WATER MODEL? AND OTHER OPERATING SES GET NON OPERATING SES RAISES.
ON OUR OPERATING EXPENSES GET THIS PICTURE OF HOW OUR RES HAS STEPPED UP TO OUR OPERATING EXPENSES AT CC 2022, 2023 24 ARID OF OUR EXPENSES THERE 2025 2025.
A EXPENSES IN OUR CAPITAL OVER THE TASION.
AGAIN, WE SAID THE CASH REARED ON REAL MODEL 35% OPERATING CONTINGENCY.
35% OPERATING EXPENSES AS CASH FEDERAL POLICY.
I DO HAVE A QUESTION. SO THE WAY THAT I SEE THIS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M INTERPRETING THIS CORRECTLY.
YOU'RE PROJECTING OR YOU'RE ADDING ON YOUR OPERATING EXPENSES AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, YOU KNOW, 3% YEAR OVER YEAR UNTIL 2047, RIGHT? BUT IN EVERYTHING ELSE, THAT'S SORT OF CONSTANT, AND THAT'S WHERE STAFF AND SUP SORT OF WORK STRATEGICALLY WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE, RIGHT, TO SORT OF FILL THAT GAP.
THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT CORRECTLY? EXACTLY. IF YOU RECALL FROM THE INITIAL DEMONSTRATIONS OF THIS PRODUCT VERSUS THE WAY WE'VE TRADITIONALLY DONE RATE STUDIES IN THE PAST,
[00:15:02]
WE WOULD BRING TO YOU THREE OR FOUR SCENARIOS WITH FIXED GRAPHS LIKE THIS THAT SHOW IF WE DO THIS PERCENT, IT HAPPENS THERE.IF WE DO THIS DIFFERENT PERCENTAGE, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS.
THIS TOOL ALLOWS US TO DYNAMICALLY DO THAT AND ADJUST THE RATE INCREASES OFF INTO THE FUTURE, REAL TIME.
WE CAN USE REAL DATA, REAL REVENUE, ACTUAL PROJECTIONS AND CHANGE THOSE RATE PICTURES EITHER ON A SMOOTH SLOPE OR STEPPED AND IT GIVES US A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY TO BRING THE COUNCIL OPTIONS IN THE FUTURE ON HOW WE KEEP THAT BLACK LINE BETWEEN THE RED DOTTED LINE AND THE BLACK DOTTED LINE.
IN REALLY ROUGH TERMS. THAT'S WHAT THE GOAL HERE IS KEEP OUR REVENUE BALANCE OR OUR OPERATING RESERVES BALANCE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THOSE LINES.
IF WE KNOW THERE'S A GIANT CAPITAL EXPENSE COMING UP, WE WANT TO BE UP HIGHER.
WE WANT TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT AND MAKE SURE OUR RATES SUPPORT THAT.
THAT'S WHAT THIS TOOL IS FOR, AND WE'RE AT THE PRETTY EARLY STAGES HERE OF GETTING OUR ACTUAL DATA IN, BUT ALREADY WE'RE SEEING THE VALUE OF BEING ABLE TO PROJECT THESE THINGS OFF INTO THE FUTURE.
MY MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION TO THAT, WHAT'S THE DATA PORTION OF IT? IS IT JUST LIKE EXCEL FILES THAT WE'RE FEEDING TO THEM AND THEN THEY'RE JUST UPLOADING IS THAT COMING COMING STRAIGHT OUT OF OUR ACCOUNTING SYSTEM.
SO WE HAVE REAL NUMBERS, REAL METER READS, REAL UTILITY BILL DATA IS GOING IN HERE.
AND OUR STAFF IS PERFECTING THE METHOD OF KEEPING THAT.
EVERGREEN. SO WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT ON A REGULAR BASIS EITHER MONTHLY OR QUARTERLY.
OKAY. AND I'M GOING TO SAY WHEN BECAUSE I KNOW AT SOME POINT WE WILL, BUT WHEN WE EXPAND, RIGHT, WHEN WE HAVE THAT GROWTH, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO HELP US, RIGHT? BECAUSE ABSOLUTELY. OKAY.
YEAH. BECAUSE WE CAN PROJECT THE GROWTH AS WELL AS THE RATES, THE NUMBER OF SERVICES, ALL OF THOSE THINGS GO IN AS COMPONENTS.
YEAH. LOOKING AT THE GRAPHS, THEY ARE ALARMING.
SURE. SURE. OKAY. SO I'M NOT GETTING I'M GETTING A PICTURE OF AN ALARMING SITUATION.
IF WE CONTINUED IF WE DID NOTHING, WE'D BE IN A LITTLE TROUBLE.
EXACTLY. AND THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THOSE THAT RATE STRUCTURE IS FLAT BEYOND NEXT YEAR.
RIGHT. THERE'S NO THERE'S NO ATTEMPT IN THIS DEMONSTRATION TO SHOW WHAT THE RATES ARE GOING TO DO TO KE KEEP PACE WITH THE EXPENSES.
AND THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING OF IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> WHAT IS THE LEVEL OF INCREASE THAT WE NEED TO DO TO KEEP UP BETWEEN THE RED AND THE BLACK LINE? IDEALLY, WE WOULD WANT TO BE AT THE BLACK LINE, BUT IT'S PROBABLY NOT FEASIBLE TO DO THAT.
>> BUT SOMEWHERE WHERE [OVERLAPPING]
>> WELL, I THINK WE ARE DOING IT.
WE HAVE BEEN DOING IT IS WHAT THIS GRAPH SHOWS THAT AT THIS POINT, WE'RE AT TWICE THE BLACK LINE AS FAR AS RESERVES GO.
EVEN THE OLD MANUAL METHOD OF DOING THIS, WE HAVE KEPT OURSELVES VERY HEALTHY, AND WE INTEND TO DO THAT GOING INTO THE FUTURE.
WE'RE GOING INTO ANOTHER RATE STUDY CYCLE NEXT YEAR, SO WE WILL START USING THIS TOOL EARLY AND BE AHEAD OF THE GAME WHEN THE NEXT RATE STUDY CYCLE ACTUALLY BEGINS, AND GO INTO THE 218 PROCESS FOR SETTING THOSE RATES.
WE HESITATED TO SHOW THE PRODUCT IN THIS EARLY STAGE BECAUSE WE HAVE HALF OF THE DATA IN.
WE HAVE THE EXPENSE PART OF IT, BUT WE HAVEN'T EVEN BEGUN TO START TO WORK WITH HOW IS THE REVENUE SIDE, HOW DOES THE RATE STRUCTURE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD TO MAKE SURE WE STAY IN THE BLACK?
>> AT THE CHART THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, WE ARE IN BETWEEN THE BLACK AND THE RED LINE?
>> UNTIL 2031, IF WE DID NOTHING.
WE WE WOULDN'T EVEN HIT OUR SELF-IMPOSED 35% THRESHOLD UNTIL 2031, IF WE DID NOTHING.
>> WELL, I'LL CONTINUE TO LISTEN.
>> IT'S ALARMING TO SEE IT IN A CHART, BUT I'M NOT GETTING A PICTURE OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNT AND SO FORTH.
>> TONIGHT WAS JUST [OVERLAPPING] GO AHEAD
>> SORRY. I THINK WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IS
[00:20:03]
THE AVAILABILITY FOR YOURSELVES AS COUNCIL TO ABLE TO LOOK LONG TERM.SOMETIMES YOU CAN STOP LOOKING AT YOUR CURRENT BUDGET, NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET, SHORT-TERM CYCLE, AND THIS JUST ALLOWS YOU TO SEE A BIG PICTURE.
PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE YOU SEE, IT ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE VERY SMALL, MICRO-ADJUSTMENT TODAY TO BE TO [INAUDIBLE] YOU ARE NOT IN TROUBLE.
NOT ONLY ARE YOU OUT OF TROUBLE, BUT THAT ALONG THE WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO [INAUDIBLE] ADJUSTMENTS FOR YOUR [INAUDIBLE] IN THE LONG TERM.
>> WELL, CALVIN, YOU JUST SAID A COUPLE OF WORDS THAT MADE ME FEEL A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE.
YOU CALLED IT MICRO-ADJUSTMENTS, AND I'M OKAY WITH MICRO-ADJUSTMENTS.
MY CONCERN IS IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A BIG RATE INCREASE, WHICH WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO BEAR.
>> I THINK WE COULD SHOW SOME OF THE [INAUDIBLE] DATA INFORMATION [INAUDIBLE] FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR AGENDA [INAUDIBLE] THAT ABOUT ALL WE WANTED TO SHOW TODAY.
WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK WITH STAFF SHORTLY TO SHOW [INAUDIBLE] POTENTIAL SCENARIOS AND TO GIVE SOME MORE [INAUDIBLE]
>> AWESOME. PERFECT. THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE MEMBERS?
>> I IMAGINE ALBERT IS GOING TO BE THE ONE MANAGING, THIS, RIGHT?
NOW, I KNOW THIS IS AN UNFINISHED PRODUCT, BUT IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN VIEW IT OURSELVES?
>> NO. IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S ON THE CITY NETWORK [OVERLAPPING]
>> PERFECT. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN, FOR JOINING US.
>> WE ARE MOVING ON TO ITEM 6.B: CALTRANS UPDATE ON HIGHWAY 46 ROUNDABOUT.
[6.b. CALTRANS Update on Highway 46 Roundabout]
I BELIEVE WE HAVE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION BY SHELLEY MAGGARD.>> I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO SHARE THIS PROJECT WITH YOU.
THE WASCO 46 ROADWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.
IT'S A COMBINATION PROJECT WITH HIGH-SPEED RAIL AND CALTRANS.
JUST TO GO OVER SOME OF OUR PROJECT GOALS ARE TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND TRAFFIC OPERATIONS BY PLACING A ROUNDABOUT AT THE INTERSECTION OF STATE ROUTE 43 AND 46, IMPROVE ADA ACCESSIBILITY, REDUCE DELAYS AND IMPROVE CORRIDOR FREIGHT MOVEMENT, AND SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY IMPROVING ACCESS AND CONNECTIVITY IN THE AREA.
THIS IS A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF THE PROJECT.
WE'RE ESTIMATING CONSTRUCTION CAPITAL AT 108.3 MILLION FOR THIS COMBINED PROJECT.
PROJECT SCOPE INCLUDES UTILITY RELOCATIONS, INCLUDING PG&E, SOUTHERN CAL GAS, AT&T, CHARTER, AND THE CITY OF WASCO WATER.
YOU SEE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, THE LINES THAT GO THROUGH, THAT'S GOING TO BE THE UTILITY CORRIDOR WHERE THE UTILITIES WILL BE RELOCATED.
RECONSTRUCTION OF THE STATE ROUTE 46, 43 INTERSECTION AS A SINGLE-LANE ROUNDABOUT WITH THE CAPACITY TO BE RECONFIGURED INTO A TWO-LANE ROUNDABOUT.
WIDENING OF THE STATE ROUTE 46 BETWEEN F AND J STREET.
REPLACE EXISTING BNSF RAIL BRIDGE.
THAT'S THE GREEN, REPRESENTED THERE IS THE EXISTING BNSF RAIL BRIDGE THAT WILL BE REPLACED.
THE PURPLE NEXT TO IT IS WHERE WE WILL BE CONSTRUCTING AND MAINTAINING A TEMPORARY SHOO-FLY DURING THE BNSF BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION.
WE'LL ALSO BE LOWERING THE PROFILE OF STATE ROUTE 46 TO ACCOMMODATE THE STANDARD 16.6 CLEARANCE HEIGHT.
WE'LL ALSO BE DEMOLISHING AND RELOCATING EXISTING PUMP HOUSE AND CONSTRUCTING A NEW RETENTION BASIN.
[00:25:02]
YOU CAN SEE IN THE BLUES, OUR NEW RETENTION BASIN LOCATION AND ALSO CONSTRUCTING A NEW PILE WALL.THIS PICTURE, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE TO WELL, BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF SOME OF THE STRIPING, SOME OF THE CONFIGURATIONS FOR LANES AND WHAT WILL BE IN PLACE.
YOU CAN SEE THIS IS AT F STREET, AND SO WE'LL HAVE A DESIGNATED RIGHT TURN LANES AND DESIGNATED LEFT TURN LANES AND THROUGH LANES.
EXCEPT FOR SOUTHBOUND, YOU'LL HAVE A SHARED THROUGH LANE, AND LEFT TURN LANE, AND A DESIGNATED RIGHT TURN LANE.
WE'LL ALSO HAVE BIKE LANES AND A 10-FOOT SIDEWALK GOING THROUGH THE AREA.
THIS IS THE ROUNDABOUT SECTION.
AGAIN, [INAUDIBLE] BIKE LANES [INAUDIBLE] PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES.
WE'RE LOOKING TO ADVERTISE IN JULY 2025.
BIDS OPENING IN SEPTEMBER 2025.
WE HOPE TO HAVE IT AWARDED AND APPROVED IN THE FALL, BUT WE DO HAVE A DELAYED START FOR CONSTRUCTION OF APRIL 2026.
THIS IS TO ALLOW TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT UTILITY RELOCATIONS GET COMPLETED BEFORE WE START CONSTRUCTION.
THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION IN OCTOBER OF 2029.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS THROUGH THE AREA.
WE WILL HAVE REVERSING CLOSURES WITH FLAGGING ALLOWED AT NIGHT.
THERE WILL BE LIMITED OCCASIONS WHERE WE WILL HAVE A FULL CLOSURE OF STATE ROUTE 46, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE LIMITED TO APPROXIMATELY FOUR NIGHTS FOR BRIDGE DEMO AND GIRDER ERECTION.
WE NEED TO CLOSE OF 46 FOR THOSE OPERATIONS.
THERE'LL ALSO BE A FULL CLOSURE FOR A SECTION JUST NORTH OF STATE ROUTE 46 ON F STREET, WHILE WE WE DIG OUT THAT AREA AND PROVIDE NEW PAVEMENT.
ALSO, A FULL CLOSURE ON J STREET JUST SOUTH OF STATE ROUTE 46 AS WE BUILD THAT PORTION OF THE ROUNDABOUT.
SOME OF THE COORDINATION THAT WILL BE INVOLVED WITH DURING THE PROJECT.
WE DO HAVE SOME SEASONAL WORK WINDOWS FOR UTILITIES, NAMELY PG&E BECAUSE WE DO HAVE TRANSMISSION LINES THAT NEED TO BE RELOCATED.
THEY HAVE SOME SEASONAL WORK WINDOWS.
BNSF ALSO HAS SEASONAL WORK WINDOWS.
THEY GET UPWARDS OF 60 TRAINS A DAY THROUGH THE AREA, SO THEY DO HAVE LIMITATIONS ON WORK NEAR THE TRAINS DURING THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THE YEAR.
WE ALSO HAVE WORK THAT IS BEING DONE BY BNSF, INSTALLING THEIR TRACKS FOR THE SHOO-FLY AND FOR THE FINAL WHEN WE SWITCH BACK.
WE WILL COORDINATE SCHEDULE WITH THEM FOR THAT WORK.
ALSO, THERE'S COORDINATION WITH THE ADJACENT HIGH-SPEED RAIL TRACKS.
THEY'RE LOOKING TO GET STARTED WITH THEIR TRACKING SYSTEMS WORK, AND SO WE'LL BE COORDINATING OUR WORK WITH THEIR WORK AS WELL.
ALSO, COORDINATION FOR NECESSARY PERMITS REQUIRED FOR THE WORK.
WE MENTIONED SOME LANE CLOSURES.
WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE CITY OFFICE, CITY MANAGER AS FAR AS GETTING SOME NOTIFICATIONS OUT.
I THINK WE REQUESTED SOME ADDITIONAL CMS SIGNS AT I5 AND 99 WHEN WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE CLOSURES.
WE'LL ALSO BE COORDINATING OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OUTREACH, SO YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM US, OUR PIO OFFICE AS WE GET FURTHER AND WE GET READY TO START CONSTRUCTION.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING YOU INFORMED IN ADDITION TO, WE HAVE OUR SOCIAL MEDIA AND COMMUTER ALERTS THAT ARE SENT OUT FOR ANY OF THOSE ITEMS. WITH THAT, IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE MEMBERS?
>> NO COMMENTS. JUST THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION.
>> NO COMMENTS. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION.
>> ON THE DAYS THAT YOU WILL HAVE CLOSURES.
YOU'RE EXPECTING FOUR NIGHTS OR CLOSURES.
[00:30:01]
WHERE WILL THE CLOSURE OCCUR? WILL THE CLOSURE OCCUR AT 99 SO THAT TRAFFIC IS NOT COMING ALL THE WAY OVER HERE? WHERE WILL IT OCCUR?>> NO. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PUTTING THE INFORMATIONAL SIGNS THERE, BUT THE CLOSURE, WE'LL BE RE-ROUTING AT J STREET DOWN TO POSSO AND OVER TO STATE ROUTE 43 AND THEN BACK ON TO 46.
AGAIN, THAT WILL BE LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM OF FOUR NIGHTS, JUST FOR THE DEMO WORK BECAUSE WE CAN'T [INAUDIBLE].
>> YOU SAID POSSO, AND THEN WHAT WOULD BE YOUR NEXT ONE? CENTRAL? WOULD THAT BE IT? I'M NOT QUITE SURE.
IT DEPENDS ON WHICH WAY THE TRAFFIC IS GOING, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO ROUTE IT IN A CERTAIN WAY, SO YOU'RE GOING POSSO, PROBABLY CENTRAL.
>> F STREET WOULD STILL BE OPEN AT THAT POINT, SO IT COULD GO AS EARLY AS FROM POSSO BACK UP TO 46 AT F. OTHERS MAY CHOOSE TO USE THE ROUTE, I BELIEVE, TO MCCOMBS TO GO ON THE NORTHERN PART OF TOWN RATHER THAN THROUGH THERE.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE.
>> F STREET IS 43, SO THAT'S STILL CALTRANS WHO [OVERLAPPING].
>> FORTY-THREE SOUTH, YES, WHAT I WAS SPEAKING OF.
>> RIGHT. WHAT I'M THINKING IS, DO WE, AS A CITY, NEED TO PREPARE FOR THIS OTHER THAN ALLOWING CALTRAN TO PUT ALL OF THE DETOUR SIGNS? IF THERE ARE GOING TO BE ANY STREETS, LOCAL STREETS BEING USED FOR THAT PURPOSE, DO WE NEED TO BE PREPARED SO THAT WE CAN SIGN IT OURSELVES [INAUDIBLE]?
>> WE DEFINITELY ARE PREPARING FOR THAT.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH CALTRANS AND HIGH-SPEED RAIL ALL ALONG ON THE DETOUR PLAN AND THE SIGNAGE PLAN.
WE'LL ALSO USE OUR OWN INTERNAL COMMUNITY COMMUNICATION MEDIA, REVERSE 911 SYSTEM CAN BE USED WHEN THERE ARE CLOSURES.
WE HAVE A VARIETY OF OPTIONS PLANNED.
>> GOOD. I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING TO DO BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS END UP WITH TRAFFIC THROUGH AREAS THAT TRAFFIC SHOULD NOT BE FLOWING THROUGH. EXCESSIVE TRAFFIC.
>> THERE WILL BE SOME OF THAT, THERE'S NO AVOIDING IT, BUT WE WANT TO MINIMIZE THAT.
>> RIGHT. VERY GOOD. NO, THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.
I HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT THIS AT THE CURRENT COG, AND I APPRECIATE YOU COMING AND LETTING US KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT. IT'S EXCITING.
>> YEAH, IT IS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> I DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION.
I THINK THOSE ARE SOME GOOD POINTS.
MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS REALLY THE BIG RIGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT GOING THROUGH TOWN.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
IT'S A PRETTY LENGTHY PROJECT, A COUPLE OF YEARS FROM START TO FINISH.
FOR THE MOST PART, WE EXPECT IT TO GO PRETTY WELL OVERALL IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC FLOW BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY HIGHWAY 46, IT'S A BIG QUARTER.
BESIDES THE FOUR-DAY CLOSURE, REST OF THE PROJECT, WE THINK IT'S GOING TO FLOW AS NORMAL FOR THE MOST PART.
WE DON'T REALLY EXPECT A LOT OF CONGESTION.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ON THAT FRONT?
>> WE ARE GOING TO HAVE CLOSURES AT NIGHT AND THEN WE WILL BE REVERSING [INAUDIBLE] 46.
>> WELL, I THINK THIS [INAUDIBLE] SHOULD BE GOOD.
YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH AND SOMEBODY HAD CRASHED RIGHT BEFORE I WAS PASSING THROUGH THERE, SO HOPEFULLY, THIS HELPS.
BUT YEAH, THANK YOU FOR THE PETITION.
>> MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 7, PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA.
THIS PORTION OF THE MEETING IS RESERVED FOR PERSONS DESIRING TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL, INCLUDING THE COUNCIL ACTING AS THE GOVERNING BOARD, AS SUCCESSOR AGENCY ON ANY MATTER NOT ON THIS AGENDA.
FORWARD TO THE COUNCIL, SUCCESSOR AGENCY HAVE JURISDICTION.
SPEAKERS LIMITED TO TWO MINUTES, A MAXIMUM OF 30 MINUTES WILL BE ALLOWED FOR ANY ONE SUBJECT.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD BEFORE MAKING YOUR PRESENTATION.
BROWN ACT DOES NOT ALLOW ACTION OR DISCUSSION ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA SUBJECT TO NARROW EXCEPTIONS.
THIS WILL LIMIT THE COUNCIL MEMBER'S RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS DURING THIS COMMENT PERIOD.
ARE THERE ANY E-MAIL COMMENTS, MADAM CLERK?
>> THERE ARE NO E-MAIL COMMENTS FOR THIS ITEM OR ANY OTHER AGENDA ITEMS, MAYOR.
>> ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM THE AUDIENCE? SEEING NONE, THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 10, PUBLIC SAFETY REPORTS.
[10.a. Kern County Fire Department (Appleton)]
KERN COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT, CHIEF APPLETON.>> GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL? SORRY, I'VE BEEN GONE ON VACATION AND HANDLING FIRES IN THE COUNTY.
BUT I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE FOR OUR APRIL REPORT.
WE HAD 143 TOTAL INCIDENTS IN APRIL,11 OF THOSE WERE FIRES, AND 98 WERE MEDICAL CALLS, THE REMAINDER WERE JUST MISCELLANEOUS CALLS IN
[00:35:04]
THE CITY OF WASCO AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. ANY QUESTIONS?>> THANK YOU, CHIEF. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL?
[10.b. Wasco Police Department (Fivecoat)]
WASCO POLICE DEPARTMENT. ASSISTANT CHIEF [INAUDIBLE]>> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
I'M FILLING IN FOR CHIEF FIVECOAT TODAY.
I PUT TOGETHER A QUICK DASHBOARD TO SHOW A SNAPSHOT OF THE NUMBERS.
THE TOP ROW IS YEAR TODAY, THE REST OF THE NUMBERS ARE BROKEN BY MONTH, AND WE'LL GO THROUGH THEM RIGHT NOW.
>> WE HAD 5,041 CALLS FOR SERVICE, AND OFFICER-INITIATED ACTIVITY 3,056.
60% OF ALL ACTIVITY WAS GENERATED BY THE OFFICERS.
LOOKING AT THE LINE GRAPH HERE TO MY LEFT, WE SEE THAT IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, BOTH CALLS FOR SERVICE AND INCIDENCE DECLINED A LITTLE BIT.
WE THINK THAT WAS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER.
BUT AS WE MOVE ON IN THE YEAR ACTIVITY STARTED TO INCREASE.
IF YOU LOOK TOWARDS THE END OF THE GRAPH BY MAY, YOU SEE THAT CALLS FOR SERVICE CONTINUED TO INCREASE AS OFFICER-INITIATED ACTIVITY IS DECREASING.
PART OF THE REASON IS THAT OFFICERS ARE HANDLING CALLS FOR SERVICE, AND PEOPLE ARE CALLING US BECAUSE THEY KNOW WE WILL RESPOND.
OVER TO MY RED TOTAL ARREST FOR JANUARY, 56, AND FEBRUARY, 71, MARCH,91, APRIL,97, AND IN MAY, WE WERE UP TO 113.
THAT'S JUST FOR THE MONTH. STOLEN VEHICLE, JANUARY, WE HAD, I LOST MY VALUES, 5 RECOVERED, WHERE AM I? HOLD ON.
>> JANUARY, FIVE STOLEN, RECOVERED, 11, AND FEBRUARY, STOLEN 10, RECOVERED FOUR, MARCH, STOLEN 16 RECOVERED 11, APRIL, STOLEN 14, RECOVERED 17, MAY, STOLEN 15, RECOVERED 11.
CITIZEN CONTACTS, WE STARTED WITH 27, FEBRUARY, 28.
WE HAD A LOT OF CONTACTS IN MARCH, 57, DECLINED A LITTLE BIT, 29 ON APRIL.
>> MAY I ASK A QUESTION ABOUT CITIZEN CONTACTS? IS THIS WHERE SOMEBODY CALLS AND A POLICEMAN SHOWS UP TO TALK TO THEM? IS THIS OFFICER-INITIATED AS WELL? GOD BLESS YOU.
>> THIS CITIZEN CONTACT IS COMPLETELY PEACEFUL.
THERE'S NO INTENT FOR THE OFFICER TO INVESTIGATE OR DETAINED, IT'S SIMPLY TO GREAT OR HELP SOMEBODY IF THEY NEEDED HELP WITH THE BAG OR TO MOVE A TRASH, AND WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE IS COMPLETELY PEACEFUL.
FOR THE OTHER TYPE OF CONTACTS, WE HAD THE VEHICLE-PEDESTRIAN CHECKS, WE HAVE 44.
IF WE WERE TO SUM THEM UP, WE'RE LIKE AT 67 TOTAL.
THIS IS JUST A PEACEFUL CONTACTS PROJECT THAT CHIEF AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON.
WE'RE HOPING THAT THE MORE CONTACT WE HAVE WITH PEOPLE, THE MORE WE'LL GET THEM TO CALL, AND HOPEFULLY, CRIME WILL START TO DECLINE.
WE'RE TRYING TO EARN PEOPLE'S TRUST, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ESSENTIALLY.
JANUARY, WE DID 304, WE ONLY CITED 35 PEOPLE, FEBRUARY, WE DID 95, ONLY CITED 24, MARCH, 303, CITED 47, APRIL, 365, CITED 73, AND MAY, STOPPED 338 PEOPLE AND CITED 57 ONLY.
THAT IS WHAT OUR NUMBERS LOOK LIKE.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
>> I SEE THERE'S A CHART AT THE BOTTOM.
DOES THAT GIVE A BREAKDOWN OF THE DIFFERENT ARRESTS? THERE YOU GO.
[00:40:03]
>> THE TABLE TOWARDS THE VERY BOTTOM, YES, IT'S THE SOURCE OF WHERE I GET MY DATA FROM.
NOT EVERYTHING'S IN THE DASHBOARD, BUT IT'S THERE FOR A REFERENCE.
>> ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE MEMBERS? MAYOR PRO TEM MARTINEZ.
>> YEAH. JUST CURIOUS. YOU GUYS ARE DOING GREAT WITH AUTO THEFT RECOVERY.
I KNOW YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER OFF YOUR HEAD, BUT I'M ASSUMING SOME OF THESE ROLLING GTAS, ACTUAL OCCUPY GTAS?
>> DO WE HAVE ANYBODY CLOSE TO GETTING A 10851 PEN?
>> AWESOME. WELL, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, SIR.
>> OF COURSE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> IN A MONTH, I SEE THAT THERE WERE 14 STOLEN AND THEN 17 RECOVERED.
>> NOT ALWAYS RECOVERED [OVERLAPPING].
>> I THINK THAT CAME UP ONE TIME.
>> [LAUGHTER] WHERE LIKE, OH, WE RECOVERED MORE THAN THEY STOLE.
>> YES, AND THAT IS POSSIBLE. THAT IS POSSIBLE.
PEOPLE ARE COMING IN A STOLEN FROM ANOTHER OUTSIDE AGENCY.
>> [OVERLAPPING] USE CAR LOT. [LAUGHTER].
>> MEMBER REYNA, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
>> INCREDIBLE HOW MUCH DATA IS IN THIS CHART.
A LOT OF DATA. I APPRECIATE IT.
I HAD TROUBLE FOLLOWING IN SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT YOU MADE, BUT I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE DATA, AND THEN I'LL GO BACK TO IT AND REVIEW IT.
I ALSO TOOK A PICTURE OF THE CHART AT THE BOTTOM.
>> THANK YOU. ON ANOTHER NOTE, WE DID HAVE A BIKE RODEO SATURDAY, MAY 24TH.
THERE WAS FOOD, MUSIC, AND WE HAD A BMX BIKE GROUP PERFORMING STUNTS AND TRICK FOR THE KITCHEN.
IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYBODY LOVED IT.
>> CLOSE TO 200 PEOPLE SHOWED [INAUDIBLE].
>> WELL, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THEM EVEN BIGGER.
>> THERE YOU GO. NEXT TIME THEY'RE GOING TO BE JUMPING OVER YOU, RIGHT? JUST REAL QUICK.
GOING BACK TO THE TRAFFIC STOP CITATION.
ARE WE STILL DOING THE WHOLE EDUCATIONAL DEAL? IS THAT WHAT IT IS, OR ARE A LOT OF THESE JUST WARNINGS?
>> YES AND NO. WE DID ASK THAT WE START CITING PEOPLE BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING, SO WE'RE ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF IN, A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT.
WE ARE GETTING READY TO START OUR E-CITATION, WHERE WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY, WE'RE JUST SETTING UP TRAINING, AND I THINK THAT WITH TECHNOLOGY, AND GOING TO MAKE PEOPLE EFFICIENCY, SO WE'RE HOPING THAT THOSE NUMBERS GO UP.
>> NOT THAT I'M SAYING WE NEED TO GO CITE EVERYBODY, BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING THAT BACK OUT. THANK YOU.
>> MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 11: CONSENT CALENDAR.
[11)CONSENT CALENDAR]
THE CONSENT CALENDAR CONSISTS OF ITEMS THAT ARE ROUTINE AND NON-CONTROVERSIAL IN THE STAFF OPINION.THESE ITEMS ARE APPROVED IN ONE MOTION UNLESS COUNCIL MEMBER OR MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC REQUESTS THE REMOVAL OF A PARTICULAR ITEM.
THIS EVENING, WE HAVE ITEMS 11A-11G.
AT THIS TIME, I'D LIKE TO ASK THE MEMBERS IF THEY HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ON A PARTICULAR ITEM ON THE CONSENT CALENDAR. MAYOR PRO TEM SALDANA.
>> I HAVE NO CONFLICT. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE AN ITEM? SEEING NONE, ARE THERE ANY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE AN ITEM? MAYOR PRO TEM SALDANA.
>> I HAVE QUESTIONS ON E AND F. IT SHOULD BE SHORT.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO PULL IN, WE COULD DO THAT IF IT'S EASIER.
>> I THINK WE'VE AGREED THAT I CAN ATTEMPT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING AND LEAVE IT ON CONSENT, IF I FAIL TO CLARIFY, WE'LL PULL IT.
>> MAY I ASK MY QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT?
>> ON E, THIS IS THE GRANT AGREEMENT FOR THE CHP COPS HIRING PROGRAM.
THAT'S THE ACRONYM. I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING, WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE.
WE DID IT WHILE THE SHERIFF WAS HERE.
HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS MINIMUM REQUIREMENT OF 25% OR WHETHER IT CAN BE WAIVED IF A REQUEST FOR A WAIVER IS GRANTED? THE GRANT IS FOR 125,000 FOR ONE OFFICER.
[00:45:08]
WE'RE EXPECTING TOO THAT 25% WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT OVER $30,000.WOULD ANYONE REQUEST A WAIVER DURING THIS THREE-YEAR PERIOD, WE ACTUALLY WOULD BE SPENDING THAT MONEY ANYWAY ON THEIR SALARIES? I'M JUST CURIOUS. MAYBE I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING.
>> I WILL DEFER TO ASSISTANT [OVERLAPPING].
>> WE HAVE MICROPHONES NOW. [OVERLAPPING].
>> I THOUGHT THAT WOULD LOOK DIFFERENT. NOW, EVERYBODY HAS ONE.
THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER REYNA FOR ASKING THAT QUESTION.
CURRENTLY, THE CITY DOES HAVE A COPS HIRING GRANT.
UNDER THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHEN THEY GOT GOING, WE APPLIED FOR ONE OFFICER AND WE DID APPLY FOR THAT WAIVER AND IT WAS GRANTED.
THE PLAN IS TO APPLY FOR THAT WAIVER TOO.
BUT IT'S NOT GUARANTEE, WE'LL DEFINITELY SUBMIT THE WAIVER REQUEST.
IF APPROVED, WHEN WE SUBMIT OUR APPLICATION, WE WILL BE REQUESTING THAT WAIVER.
>> WHAT I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING IS THE WAIVER IS, AS I MENTIONED, A LITTLE OVER $30,000.
OVER THE COURSE OF THREE YEARS, THEIR SALARY WILL EXCEED THOSE 125,000, THE GRANT PLUS THE 30,000.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF ASKING FOR A WAIVER, IS WHAT I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING.
>> TYPICALLY, THEY WILL COVER THE 30,000, SO THE GRANT WILL BE FOR 125 PLUS THE MATCH REQUIREMENT.
>> OH, SO THAT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
>> THAT'S WHY WE WOULD WANT TO APPLY [OVERLAPPING].
>> I GUESS I'M UNDERSTANDING THAT PORTION, THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING THE QUESTION.
>> TYPICALLY, THIS PROGRAM, MY EXPERIENCE IS MOST CITIES WILL ALWAYS PUT SOME MONEY INTO THESE POSITIONS BECAUSE THE GRANT WON'T COVER 100% OF THE SALARY AND BENEFITS OVER TIME IF THE OFFICER HAS TO WORK OVER TIME, THAT IS TYPICALLY NOT COVERED UNDER THIS GRANT.
TYPICALLY, THE CITY WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE TO MATCH IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
>> IF YOU APPLY FOR THE WAIVER AND WE GET IT, THAT INCREASES THE GRANT.
IF IT IS 32,000, JUST TO USE A NUMBER, TO 157,000, THAT IS VERY GOOD.
>> THANK YOU, SEE, YOU CLARIFIED SOMETHING FOR ME. I APPRECIATE IT.
>> THEN NEXT ONE, I READ YOUR REPORT AND I LOOKED AT THE NUMBERS, AND EVERYTHING LOOKS WELL.
WE HAD BUDGETED 378,240, AND WE RECEIVED AN ADDITIONAL 463,523.86 FOR A TOTAL OF 841,763.86.
THOSE ARE THE NUMBERS ON THE REPORT.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE FROM WHAT WE RECEIVED AND WHAT WE SPENT, WHICH WAS 737,581.35. THAT'S WHAT WE SPENT.
THERE IS A REMAINDER OF $104,182.51.
HAVE THESE REMAINING FUNDS BEEN ASSIGNED? WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THAT?
>> I WILL DEFER. IT WOULD HELP MAYBE MADAM CLERK, IF WE COULD PUT THE STAFF REPORT UP ON THE SCREEN.
>> WHAT WAS THE QUESTION, AGAIN, ON THE NUMBERS THAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE OF?
>> THERE'S A DIFFERENCE OF 104,182 51.
FROM THE MONEY THAT WE RECEIVED AND WHAT WAS SPENT, WE STILL HAVE, IN OUR CONFERS, 104,182.51.
HAS THESE REMAINING FUNDS BEING ASSIGNED? WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THAT MONEY, IS MY QUESTION?
>> I DON'T THINK THAT REMAINING BALANCE IS ACCURATE.
I'D HAVE TO DOUBLE-CHECK THESE NUMBERS.
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THE REMAINING BALANCE IS ACCURATE.
>> THE WAY THE NUMBERS ARE ON THE REPORT, IT DOES SHOW THAT REMAINING BALANCE.
BUT IF IT'S NOT, THAT'S OKAY, JUST COULD YOU JUST GET BACK TO ME?
I WAS HOPING THAT THAT MONEY WOULD BE USED PERHAPS TO HAVE POLICE ACTIVITIES [INAUDIBLE].
THIS IS ONLY THE CONSTRUCTION PORTION OF IT.
[00:50:02]
I THINK WHAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING IS SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WAS PURCHASED.>> IF I MAY ADD, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
IF YOU GUYS RECALL THIS GRANT ORIGINALLY WAS TO DO UTILITY ASSISTANCE DURING COVID AND SELF-HELP, ASSISTED THE CITY TO IMPLEMENT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS MONEY CAME TO THE CITY, THE INTENT WAS TO DO UTILITY ASSISTANCE.
THEY USED, I WANT TO SAY RIGHT AROUND THAT AMOUNT THAT YOU'RE ASKING.
>> THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHT THOUSAND, TWO HUNDRED FORTY, WAS THAT THE ORIGINAL AMOUNT?
>> THAT WAS, I BELIEVE WHAT WAS LEFT FOR THE PAL FROM THE ORIGINAL GRANT.
WE WILL COME BACK, BUT THIS GRANT ALSO FUNDED UTILITY ASSISTANCE DURING COVID TIME.
THAT INCLUDED RENTAL, WATER, ANY UTILITIES THAT RESIDENTS, AND WE DID HELP, I BELIEVE, ANYWHERE FROM 25-30 FAMILIES.
WE CAN BRING THIS BACK AND HIGHLIGHT EVERYTHING THAT WAS DONE WITH THE [INAUDIBLE].
>> THAT'S FINE. IF YOU COULD HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS.
>> DEFINITELY, I'LL BREAK THOSE NUMBERS DOWN.
THIS ONLY COVERS THE CONSTRUCTION PORTION OF IT.
THE WEIGHT EQUIPMENT THAT YOU SENT IN THERE, THE RING, AND ADDITIONAL ITEMS LIKE THE ALARM SYSTEM.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO ADD SOMETHING.
YOU KNOW I READ ALL OF THESE REPORTS.
IN THE PAST, AT THE BOTTOM, THERE HAS BEEN, WHENEVER THERE IS A VARIANCE SUCH AS THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, WHICH I FIGURED OUT.
MAYBE IT DOESN'T EXIST, BUT MAYBE IT DOES.
IT SAYS THE MONEY WILL BE USED FOR SUCH AND SUCH A THING.
THERE WAS NOTHING TO THAT EFFECT ON THIS REPORT, AND MAYBE BECAUSE THE MONEY DOESN'T EXIST.
>> I THINK I CAN HELP CLEAR UP PART OF THAT IF WE SCROLL BACK DOWN TO THE ENTIRE FISCAL IMPACT THERE VISIBLE.
IN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH THERE, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE WORD CONTRACT.
THE CONTRACT AMOUNT FOR THE PAL BUILDING CAME IN AT 457.
AFTER INCORPORATING THE CONTRACTOR'S CHANGE ORDERS, IS 280.
THIS REPORT IS MEANT TO RECONCILE THOSE CONTRACTS, AS WAS POINTED OUT.
THE CITY DID A LOT OF WORK THAT WAS BILLED DIRECTLY AGAINST THE GRANT.
THERE WAS EQUIPMENT PURCHASED DIRECTLY AGAINST THE GRANT BY THE CITY DID NOT GO THROUGH THE CONTRACTORS.
THIS REPORT DEALS WITH THE CONTRACTORS AND THE CHANGE ORDERS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT ENTIRE CHAIN OF ACTIVITY CORRECTED.
TO MY UNDERSTANDING, WE'RE SOMEWHERE UNDER $5,000 TOTAL REMAINING.
>> THAT'S STARTING TO MAKE SENSE TO ME.
OF THE, WHAT I THINK IS 140,182.51, THAT MONEY, THE MAJORITY OF IT HAS BEEN USED TO PAY FOR THE WORK THAT THE CITY DID ON THIS PROJECT.
>> BUT IF YOU COULD JUST BRING IT BACK [OVERLAPPING].
>> WE'LL CLARIFY, BRING THE NUMBERS BACK OR E-MAIL, HOWEVER YOU WANT IT.
>> NO, IT'S FINE WITH ME. I'M INTERESTED IN IT.
>> IF THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, I MOVE TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR.
>> I WILL SECOND. MADAM CLERK, YOU [INAUDIBLE] VOTE BY ROLL CALL.
>> MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER REYNA, SECONDED BY MAYOR MEDINA TO APPROVE THE CONSENT CALENDAR.
MOTION IS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED.
>> PERFECT. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM 14: NEW BUSINESS.
[14.a. Council finds this action is not a “project” defined under section 15061(b)(3), of the CEQA Guidelines; Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Approve Change Orders to the City Security System Project in the amount not to exceed $116,240.00 to address Police Department technology requirements, funded through the Police Department Technology Equipment Program Grant, in addition to the Professional Services Agreement with American Business Machines approved on July 18, 2023. (Hurlbert)]
>> 148, COUNCIL FINDS THIS ACTION CENTER PROJECT DEFINED UNDER SECTION 150 61B3 OF THE SQL GUIDELINES ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO APPROVE CHANGE ORDERS TO THE CITY SECURITY SYSTEM PROJECT, AND THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $116,240 TO ADDRESS POLICE DEPARTMENT TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS FUNDED THROUGH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT PROGRAM GRANT, IN ADDITION TO THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH AMERICAN BUSINESS MACHINES APPROVED ON JULY 18, 2023, MR. HURLBERT.
>> HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
THIS IS NOT A LOT DIFFERENT THAN THE ITEM WE WERE JUST DISCUSSING.
SO IF YOU RECALL, THE SECURITY SYSTEM OR THE SECURITY CAMERA PROJECT WAS INITIATED AND CREATED A CIP MANY YEARS AGO, AND IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET BIDS IN, AND WE FINALLY HAD AN INITIAL PROJECT DEFINED WITH AMERICAN BUSINESS MACHINES.
THAT'S THE BASELINE OF THIS DISCUSSION IN THIS REPORT.
THEN IT CAME ALONG THE STARTUP OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND SOME OF THE OTHER MODIFICATIONS OR ADDITIONS TO THE SCOPE OF THAT PROJECT
[00:55:06]
WERE APPROVED AND THE ACCEPTANCE OF THOSE GRANT FUNDS AND THE ALLOCATION OF THOSE GRANT FUNDS, BUT THERE WASN'T AN OFFICIAL TIE BETWEEN THE TWO TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FUNDS THAT WERE RECEIVED AND SPENT ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT RELATED CHANGE ORDERS WERE TIED TO THE CIP.THERE WAS A GOOD PAPER TRAIL THERE.
I TOOK MY FINANCE DIRECTOR TO CORRECT ME WHEN I GET ASTRAY.
THAT'S WHERE THIS REPORT REALLY IS FOCUSED IS TO TIE THESE CHANGE ORDERS THAT EXPANDED WHEN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT EVEN A TWINKLE IN ANYONE'S EYE WHEN THAT CIP WAS INITIALLY PUT INTO PLACE.
TONIGHT, WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF THESE CHANGE ORDERS, THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS, AND THAT IT BE MERGED WITH THE LARGER CIP PROJECT.
IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS, I WILL ATTEMPT WITH THE HELP OF MY STAFF TO ANSWER THOSE. PERFECT.
>> THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? ANY COMMENTS FROM THE MEMBERS, M P?
THAT, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND. CAN WE GET TO BY?
>> MOTION BY MAYOR MEDINA, SECONDED BY MAYOR PORTA SALDANA, TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.
>> THANK YOU. TO THE CORPORATION.
LAST TIME I REPORTED OUT WHEN THE MEETING HAPPENED, WE WERE OUT AT THE CONFERENCE.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SCHEDULED.
CAN YOU FOLLOW UP ON WHEN THE NEXT MEETING IS? THANK YOU. ITEM 15 BAKER AND COUNSEL OF GOVERNMENT, MR. RENA.
[15.b. Kern Council of Government (Reyna)]
>> I DID REPORT LAST TIME I DIDN'T HAVE MY NOTES WITH ME, IT'S ALREADY ON THE MINUTES, THE MONEY FOR THE BACONS HAD DISTRIBUTED AS OF MAY 4, BUT THAT'S ALREADY. THAT HAS BEEN CAPTURED.
>> PERFECT. WAS TASK FORCE. FLIER.
[15.c. Wasco Task Force (Saldaña and Medina) ]
>> YEAH. WE'LL BE HAVING A CLEAN-UP ON THE 21ST.
IT'S IN THE CORNER OF GROMER AND PALM.
IT'LL BE FROM 7:00 A.M. TO 12:00 P.M.
THERE'S BE SENDING OUT FLIERS SEND SOME FLIERS OUT ALREADY.
HOPEFULLY I'LL SEE YOU GUYS UP THE 21ST.
>> SO LOUIS, I'LL SET SOMETHING UP.
WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT THE LOGISTICS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE IN TERMS OF PLANTS, MUCH, DELIVERY, THE SETUP OF THE EVENT, THAT SORT OF STUFF.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR SCHEDULE LOOKS LIKE LATER THIS WEEK, BUT I THINK IT'S HAPPENED LATER THIS WEEK OR BEGINNING OF NEXT.
>> WE CAN DO THAT, AND YOU HAVE A FEW MINUTES RIGHT AFTER THIS. WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE.
I CAN JUST GIVE YOU A QUICK BREAKDOWN.
BUT DEFINITELY BY THE END OF THE WEEK, GIVE YOU THE FULL.
>> HOW IT'S GOING TO GO. PERFECT.
>> ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER?
[16) REPORTS FROM THE CITY MANAGER]
>> YES, HONORABLE MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.
FIRST NOTICE WAS RECEIVED TODAY FOR THE CAL CITY'S ANNUAL CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD IN LONG BEACH THIS YEAR.
IF YOU RECALL, JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE ROOMS GO FAST, THE REGISTRATION GOES FAST.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE LET THE CITY CLERK KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THIS WEEK EVEN WOULD NOT TOO SOON.
THE COMMUNITY BREAKFAST LOCATION NOW IS SET AT THE FREEWILL BAPTIST CHURCH AT 9:38 SEVENTH, AND THAT WILL BE TOMORROW AT 7:00 A.M.
THE SCHOFIELD ROAD PROJECT IS COMPLETE.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LITTLE CLEANUP THINGS STILL GOING, BUT IT'S BACK TO FULL TRAFFIC AND THE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
STRIPING ON CENTRAL IS ALSO COMPLETED AND BACK TO FULL TRAFFIC ON THERE.
THAT'S A COUPLE OF BIG PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN HIGH PROFILE, AND WE'RE GLAD TO SEE THEM BEHIND US.
BUT, AS WAS JUST MENTIONED, THE GROMER LANDSCAPE PROJECT WILL BE ON JUNE 21.
I DON'T HAVE A START TIME FOR THAT.
DID YOU MENTION THAT, EDDIE? AT SEVEN.
OKAY. 7:00 A.M. I WILL ADD THAT.
THEN THERE IS ALSO A SNIP EVENT ON JUNE 17,
[01:00:03]
08:00 A.M. TO FOUR BY APPOINTMENT AT THE USUAL LOCATION ACROSS THE STREET.WE RECEIVED AN INVITATION TODAY OR NOTICE ANYWAY, THAT THE WONDERFUL COMPANY IS HAVING A GRAND OPENING AND RIBBON CUT FOR WHAT THEY'RE CALLING THEIR AMENITIES CENTER, WHICH IS THE NEW BUILDING THERE ON SEVENTH STANDARD ROAD AT THE FRONT OF THE INDUSTRIAL PARK.
I'LL HAVE THE CITY CLERK FORWARD IT TO YOU.
ALSO, YOU SEE WHAT'S WHAT IS CONTAINED THERE.
THERE'S OFFICE SPACE AND A RESTAURANT, AND SOME OTHER THINGS IN THAT COMPLEX.
THEY'RE JUST LOOKING FOR RSVPS THERE.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS.
DURING THE BUDGET MEETING, THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT BIKE LANES AND IMPROVEMENTS, AND SO STAFF HAD DONE A LITTLE EXTRA RESEARCH ON THAT.
WE HAVE A COMPLETED BIKE LANE PLAN, IF YOU WILL, AND IT'S BEEN PORTIONS OF IT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED.
IT'S BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE WE NEED TO REDO PAINT.
ALSO FOR WHERE THERE ARE GAPS IN THE PLAN FROM PREVIOUS TO WORK TOWARD COMPLETING THOSE GAPS.
WE HAVE AN EXISTING CIP BUDGET OF MEASURE X FUNDS ALREADY IN THE BUDGET THAT YOU WILL BE LOOKING AT AT THE NEXT MEETING OF $60,000, AND THAT WILL GET US A LONG WAY TOWARD MOVING FORWARD ON THAT.
IT BUYS LESS PAINT THAN YOU MIGHT THINK, BUT IT WILL GET US A WAYS.
HOPEFULLY, THAT ANSWERS THAT QUESTION.
THEN THERE WAS ALSO A QUESTION ABOUT ADDITIONAL FLOCK CAMERAS.
WE HAVE RECEIVED A QUOTE FOR THOSE.
IT'S AN ADDITIONAL APPROXIMATELY $39,000 TO IMPLEMENT THOSE.
STAFF HAS ALREADY BEGUN STUDYING OPTIMUM LOCATIONS FOR THOSE.
THERE MAY BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS.
IF THERE'S AN ADVANTAGE TO HAVING A CAMERA ON PRIVATE PROPERTY OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, THERE ARE OTHER CITIES WHO HAVE STRUCK DEALS WITH THE OWNERS OF THAT PROPERTY.
>> I CAN THINK OF ONE IMMEDIATELY.
>> SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
BUT THAT IS BEING ACTIVELY WORKED.
IT WILL COME BACK, IS THAT 39,000 IS NOT IN THE CURRENT DRAFT BUDGET.
THAT WOULD COME BACK AS AN APPROPRIATION FOLLOWING THE ADOPTION.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATE IT.
CAN SOMEONE FORWARD THIS MAP ON THE SCREEN TO ME?
>> YES, SO WE CAN DEFINITELY GET THAT MAP.
>> THANK YOU, SCOTT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS HURLBERT? NONE. REPORTS FROM CITY COUNCIL. MAYOR.
>> JUST TWO QUESTIONS THAT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS TO, BUT THE WASCO HIS MOSS PAGE KEEPS PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS.
HE KEEPS SAYING BURGER KING'S OPEN.
DO WE KNOW WHAT DATE THAT'S ACTUALLY OPENING?
>> THEY STILL HAVE A FEW OUTSTANDING ITEMS. YEAH. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT'S ALL.
>> ABOUT THE WRITE AID CLOSURE? DO WE HAVE CONFIRMATION THAT THEY'RE CLOSING AT THE END OF THE MONTH? DOES ANYBODY.
>> WE'VE RECEIVED SOME PAPERS REGARDING THE OFFICIAL BANKRUPTCY, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE RECEIVED THE DATE.
>> I DON'T HAVE A FIRM DATE ON THAT.
>> OKAY. THOSE ARE JUST TWO QUESTIONS I KEEP GETTING ASKED.
>> NO. THERE'S STILL A FEW OUTSTANDING ITEMS ON THE BURGER KING.
>> THEY MAY HAVE RUN OUT OF INVENTORY MAY CAUSE THE CLOSING EVENTUALLY.
>> BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION REGARDING THAT VERY ISSUE.
ARE THEY REQUIRED TO HAVE A PERMIT TO CLOSE?
>> NO. IT'S UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT RIGHT NOW.
>> OKAY. I'M JUST WONDERING COULD THEY JUST CLOSE THE DOOR AND SAY, WE'RE GONE?
>> SURE. THEY'RE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO NOTIFY US.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU. MEMBER RIGHT?
[17) REPORTS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL]
>> THANK YOU, MAYOR. ON MAY 24, I ATTENDED THE MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY AT THE BAKERSVILLE NATIONAL CEMETERY AND PLACED AMERICAN FLAGS AT THE TOMBS.
MAYOR MARINA WAS THERE, SCOTT WAS THERE.
I THOUGHT SCOTT WOULD BE FISHING, BUT HE WASN'T.
I ALSO ATTENDED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND CITY BIKE ODO.
[01:05:02]
THIS EVENT WAS SPECTACULAR.IT WAS THE BIGGEST WE'VE EVER HAD.
THERE WAS GROWN MEN RIDING BMX BIKES AND FLYING HIGH IN THE AIR.
ONE OF THEM EVEN TOOK A SPILL.
HE CAME AND ASKED ME, DID YOU FILM IT? I SAID, NO. HE SAID, OH, I WAS HOPING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE.
>> HE DID. ON MAY 26, I ATTENDED THE MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY AT THE WASCOW CEMETERY TO READ THE NAMES OF OUR FALLING LOCAL HEROES.
THIS IS A CEREMONY THAT HAD NOT BEEN HELD FOR SEVERAL YEARS SINCE OUR LOCAL VETERANS VF PO FOLDED.
IT IS NICE TO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE AND DOING WHAT WE'VE DONE IN PAST YEARS.
I WANT TO THANK CONNIE BERNAL.
SHE WAS THE ONE SPEARHEADING THIS, AND SHE WAS ABLE TO DO IT.
I PARTICIPATED IN THE READING OF THE NAMES, WHICH IS, I THINK A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR THOSE THAT FOUGHT TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOM.
ALSO ON JUNE 1, WE HELD THE SECOND OF FOUR NAMI HEARTS AND MINDS WORKSHOPS.
THE NEXT ONE WILL BE ON JUNE 22 AT 1:00 P.M. AT THE ST. JOHN EVANGELOS PARISH HALL AT 11:30 NINTH STREET.
I WANT TO INVITE ALL OF YOU TO ATTEND.
THESE WORKSHOPS ARE A WEALTH OF INFORMATION.
IT'S NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS BUT THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO EVERY DAY TO MAKE YOURSELF HEALTHIER.
THE PEOPLE WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF ATTENDANCE THIS TIME.
BUT THE PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE WERE AMAZED AT WHAT THEY LEARNED, AND THEY WERE SAYING WHY ARE THERE NOT MORE PEOPLE HERE? BECAUSE IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
ANYWAY, THE NEXT THING I WANT TO ASK ABOUT IS FOOD VENDORS SETTING UP SHOP IN THE CITY.
HARRY AND I HAD A CONVERSATION.
CONSTITUENTS CONTACTED ME AND SAID, THERE'S THIS FOOD VENDOR BY DEVIGA.
THAT HAS BEEN SETTING UP SHOP EVERY NIGHT FOR THE LAST WEEK.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT'S TRUE OR NOT.
IT HAS DOUBLE CANOPIES AND LIGHTS, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE? TRAFFIC IS IMPEDING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC ON PALM AVENUE.
I KNOW THAT OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ARE NOW WORKING WEEKENDS PRECISELY BECAUSE OF THAT PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE.
BUT NOW WE NEED TO CONSIDER ALSO, ACTUALLY, WE NEED TO DO IT DOING EVENINGS, EARLY EVENINGS AND TO CATCH THE PEOPLE WHEN THEY'RE SETTING UP.
I DID CONTACT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
THE DISPATCHER SAID THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE REPORTING IT.
CARRIE, HE TOLD YOU THE SAME THING AND THAT THEY WOULD SEND SOMEONE AS SOON AS THEY COULD.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WENT OR NOT.
BUT TO ME, THESE PEOPLE JUST SET OUT TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANTED WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS.
I WANT TO THANK LUIS AND ALBERTO.
YOU HELPED ME WITH WE DID A CLEAN-UP AT THE ST. JOHN'S HOLE OUTSIDE IT, AND YOU PROVIDED A LARGE, LARGE BIN.
WE FILLED IT ALL UP. BUT IT'S NOW CLEAN, SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR CONTRIBUTION.
THERE'S STILL METAL TO BE HAD.
I JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE CAN DO THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT'S IT FOR ME, MAYOR. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MR. RINA. THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I HAVE.
THERE'S AN ADDRESS ON TULIP, SOME WEED ABATEMENT.
THE ADDRESS IS 12 TULIP STREET.
AT THIS POINT, THE WEEDS ARE PRETTY BIG.
I'M SO WE COULD GET THAT CHECKED OUT.
MY OTHER QUESTION WAS, WHENEVER WE RED TAG OF PROPERTY, WHAT DOES THAT PROCESS LOOK LIKE?
>> IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE ISSUE IS.
IF IT'S A FIRE OR THERE'S AN ACCIDENT AND THE CAR GOES INTO A VEHICLE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AFTER HOURS, CODE COMPLIANCE GETS CALLED OUT.
IN FACT, THEY GOT CALLED OUT LAST NIGHT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE STRUCTURE,
[01:10:03]
ASSESS WHETHER IT'S HABITABLE OR NOT, AND THEN IT'S RED TAG.IF THERE'S A NUMBER OF REASONS WE MIGHT RED TAG A STRUCTURE.
LACK OF UTILITIES WITH MINERS IN THE STRUCTURE WOULD BE A REASON TO RED TAG.
>> WHEN WE RED TAG, DO WE JUST RED TAG, WE GIVE THE FOLKS THERE A NOTICE, AND THEN THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR BOARDING UP.
DO WE BOARD UP? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK? ALSO DEPENDS ON IF THERE'S A RESPONSIBLE PROPERTY OWNER THAT WE KNOW IS GOING TO DO THE BOARD UP.
IF WE DON'T HAVE A RESPONSIBLE PROPERTY OWNER THAT WE CAN GET AHOLD OF, THEN WE'LL DO THE BOARD UP AND OF THE PROPERTY FOR THAT COST AND THE ANNUAL LIENS.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THE OTHER THING, I JUST WANT TO SAY, THANK YOU, ARE FOR FOLLOWING UP WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT FOLKS FROM THE CONFERENCE.
I HAVE SEE COMMUNICATION GOING BACK AND FORTH.
I KNOW SOMETIMES THINGS TAKE TIME, BUT EVEN JUST SIMPLE COMMUNICATION, I THINK GOES A LONG WAY, AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY COMES UP DOWN THE ROAD. I THINK THAT'S GREAT.
THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING US ON THAT, KEEP YOU IN THE LOOP THAT AT LEAST THERE'S WORK BEING DONE BEHIND THE SCENES.
WE DON'T ALWAYS GET TO SCENE TO THAT.
>> GREAT WORK ON FOLLOWING. THANK YOU.
WE HAVE ITEM 18 CLOSED SESSION.
[18)CLOSED SESSION]
THIS EVENING WE HAVE ITEMS 18 A THROUGH 18 E. ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS REGARDING THE CLOSED SESSION ITEMS AT THIS TIME? NONE. WE WILL NOW ENTER INTO CLOSED SESSION AND RETURN.THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED. THE TIME IS 7:28 P.M.
