	Good evening everyone.	00:00:16
	Welcome to the City Council regular meeting. I'm calling this meeting to order. The time is now 6:30 PM. Please stand and join me	00:00:18
	for the flag salute.	00:00:21
	United States and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.	00:00:36
	Madam Clerk, will you please take roll call?	00:00:52
	Councilmember Gama.	00:00:54
	Here. Councilmember Hernandez here.	00:00:58
	Councilmember Martinez present, Mayor Pro Tem McQueen legend here and Mayor Perez here. Tonight's inspiration will be given by	00:01:02
	Mayor Pro Tem Martha McQueen, legend.	00:01:07
	Good evening everyone, I didn't know you all will be here for my inspiration. Thank you. Thank you for coming.	00:01:15
	Yeah, I know we have a lot of people we're going to be recognizing today and I just wanted to do my part. So good evening,	00:01:22
	everyone. Welcome back to Council meeting and welcome to September.	00:01:28
	So this is about, I'm going to tell you a little bit about my experience over this last month. So being on hiatus for the last	00:01:36
	month and a half from the council meetings, the commissions and some of the other committees that I'm I'm on, I will say that I	00:01:43
	felt a little detached compared to the the other eleven months where we're actively working.	00:01:50
	So.	00:01:58
	I've had a lot of time, but not much to do in the time, so it kind of went by really slow for me, but it caused me to reflect on	00:02:02
	how our city could be if we were not engaged with our community and those that come into our community.	00:02:11
	So as a result.	00:02:20
	Of that, I personally want to say thank you.	00:02:22
	To the Recreation and Community Services Division, both the leadership and the staff for continuing to provide top notch events,	00:02:25
	allowing our residents the opportunity to remain connected with us, to our city leaders and to our city staff and to one another.	00:02:35
	I imagine, I don't know if our recreation folks, I don't see you out there, got some folks raise your hand so the folks can see	00:02:45
	who you are that provides service to the community. So I imagine what it relates to you who are providing these events for us and	00:02:53
	the planning and the coordinated these events, you might see what you do only as your job.	00:03:01
	But I assure you, it's more important than that.	00:03:10
	It's more than that.	00:03:14
	The residents see it for more than that.	00:03:15
	And those that come to Port Hueneme to participate in those events, I'm sure they see it as more.	00:03:19
	Than that. So again I just want to thank you for the work that you continue to do.	00:03:25
	For our residents and for our surrounding communities that come in and participate in those events.	00:03:30
	I see the city of Port Hueneme where the the little what did the little city by the sea?	00:03:37
	And but we do big things in the city of Port Hueneme. And I just want you to know that we appreciate all the work that you do for	00:03:44
	us, for the community.	00:03:48
	Thank you, beautiful. Thank you, Martha.	00:03:51
	And I'm sure all of us up here agree with you 100% on that. We do appreciate our city staff for the hard work that they do.	00:03:57
	O we will now hear public comments not pertaining to items on the agenda. Comments are limited to three minutes and this process	00:04:05
	will be the same for comments pertaining to each agenda item. Madam Clerk, do we have any public comments? Yes. First off is Becky	00:04:10
	Bruni.	00:04:14
	Good evening Mayor, Mayor, Pro Tem, council and staff.	00:04:28
	I'm here tonight on behalf of Relay for Life and we are holding our event the 21st of this month.	00:04:32
	And for our first lap, which starts at 10:00 AM, we're asking city officials and elected officials to come and participate. And at	00:04:41
	2:00 PM, we're having first responder and military lab. So all you first responders and military out there, come out at 2:00 PM	00:04:50
	and join us. We'll be at the VCCU corporate headquarters on Del Mar Vista in Ventura.	00:05:00
	Thank you.	00:05:11
	Mr. David Scribner.	00:05:13
	Good evening.	00:05:25
	As you know, I'm the president of his first, said Village Homeowners Association, and we have been hit with massive graffiti over	00:05:27
	the last month or so.	00:05:31
	Some of these things are.	00:05:36
	8 feet high, 20 feet long. They're hitting us in all our walls. They're hitting Miranda Park.	00:05:38
	I don't even know how many.	00:05:45
	These to count, we've got 2 rival gangs who are seemingly trying to outdo each other.	00:05:47
	I know the Police Department is making a lot of efforts to catch these people. I don't have to catch any of them, but they have	00:05:56
	got a couple of them and city staff has been coming and painting over the stuff, the media as soon as it appears in most	00:06:03
	situations. So we really appreciate that it's made a big difference, but.	00:06:09
	Most, most mornings during the weekends, I start getting calls around or text around 8:00 in the morning where people are walking	00:06:19
	their dogs and we're seeing this stuff. So.	00:06:24
	The one thing I would like to ask is to see if you can get the cameras working at the park again, because they're tagging the	00:06:32
	whole building up and everything from the pickleball courts to the walls and.	00:06:37
	The other thing is.	00:06:44
	We never know what happens when you catch somebody.	00:06:46
	We I consider as victims of crimes and we don't get notified if they got convicted. If anything happens to him, bluntly, I would	00:06:50
	like to consider suing them if we can catch them. As far as I understand a $400.00 or more worth of graffiti as a felony and I	00:06:56
	would say we probably have felonies occurring every week. So thanks to the Police Department. Thanks for city staff, it is making	00:07:03
	a difference.	00:07:09
	But it's not slowing them down. So I don't know what else you can do, what rabbit you can pull out of the hat. But if you can	00:07:16
	think of anything, please let me know. Thank you.	00:07:20
	Thomas, Viola.	00:07:27
	And Mayor, just quickly before that, if, if I can just it's on, it's not on the agenda. So we can't have a discussion. But if I	00:07:28
	could just note we'll get back to Mr. Scribner and his neighbors on that issue. And we are currently working on the camera issue	00:07:34
	mentioned. So we'll get back to them with an update on that.	00:07:40
	Are we? Are we good?	00:07:48
	Oh, so good. Good evening, Mayor Perez.	00:07:50
	Pro temp Mayor McQueen, John, The City Council, Mr. Vega And you know what? No one ever gives a city clerk a hello.	00:07:55
	So I'm going to say hello. How you doing there, Miss Alvarez? So the VFW, I'm here as a representative, I'm here as a commander of	00:08:04
	the VFW. The VFW acquired a flag about four months ago. And on this flag it has the names of everyone that was killed on 9/11. So	00:08:11
	we took the flag, we, we mounted it. We, we framed it, we mounted it in our hall, in our, in our canteen. And we're going to undo	00:08:18
	an unveiling on September 11th, kind of appropriate.	00:08:25
	The Police Department will be there, the fire department will be there, obviously. And then so I'm actually just inviting you all	00:08:33
	to come and join us.	00:08:37
	So it'd be September 11th at 11. The communities also involved, you all are all come on by.	00:08:41
	Come on by and check us out. And we also will be doing hamburgers that day. So that's always a big pleasure to everybody loves	00:08:47
	that. So anyway, I'm just inviting. It'll be a September 11th at 11:00 AM Thank you.	00:08:53
	Yes, at the VFW.	00:09:02
	I don't know who? Asked Richard Rollins.	00:09:04
	Get my notes here.	00:09:17
	Hi, my name is Rich Rollins and I want to.	00:09:23
	Thank you all for having me here today. The council, first of all, on a positive to positive notes, I would like to recognize and	00:09:27
	thank the city staff who got rid of major graffiti over at Miranda Park and then some of the adjoining community walls this past	00:09:36
	weekend. I came there on a Saturday morning. As you know, it's it's a Labor Day weekend and there's over 200.	00:09:46
	People, many of them from out of town, that come to visit our parks and.	00:09:56
	Early in the morning there was major graffiti there. By the afternoon it was gone. So I'm not sure if that's facility management	00:10:03
	or public works or whoever it was, but kudos to them for doing a quick job and making a good reputation for our community.	00:10:12
	I also would like to thank the City Council and all our local sponsors for our first annual pickleball tournament. We had sponsors	00:10:22
	the grocery warehouse, VFW, Ocean View Pavilion, Wheelhouse, Holiday Inn, and some out of town sponsors Santa Barbara pickleball	00:10:32
	and we had probably well over 100 people there. It was not only a big success for our community, but it was a big success.	00:10:42
	As far as a financial to help reach out as we move on, so thank you. We hope to do three more pickleball tournaments. We hope to	00:10:52
	do 4 per year and.	00:10:56
	Kudos and thanks for making this a good event.	00:11:03
	Sharon Chorus.	00:11:07
	Good evening, mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and City Council members. My name is Sharon Claris and I've been a resident of Port Hueneme for	00:11:17
	over 40 years and I've called this town my home and I loved it. When I first drove into this town, I went this is where I'm going	00:11:23
	to have my kids and this is going to be my forever home.	00:11:29
	Tonight, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for an extraordinary leader.	00:11:36
	A mentor and friend.	00:11:43
	For over 20 years I've had the privilege of working with Mr. George Magadham.	00:11:46
	I had the opportunity to be one of the first hired to teach the exercise program for the Social and Recreational day program that	00:11:51
	he started back in 2004.	00:11:56
	This recreational day program is for special needs as well, and what George does, it goes above and beyond. If you know this	00:12:03
	gentleman, whatever he does, there's nothing to normal. It's above and beyond. Sky is the limit and it's absolutely the finest	00:12:08
	social and recreational day program in Ventura County.	00:12:14
	That was the beginning of my career with George Mcgahn. During the 20 years as vice president of Ocean View Pavilion, we	00:12:22
	collectively did so many amazing things for our community.	00:12:27
	We provided the venue for numerous public and government entities to so many that I, I can't even say all the ones that we did,	00:12:32
	but one of my favorites, one was a for Ola, the fundraiser we did for the Wyoming Lifeguards. We did that two years in a row. And	00:12:39
	George is the type of person I'll do a fundraiser for you. I don't want a penny from you. We'll do everything that we need to make	00:12:45
	it happen, and we certainly did. It was absolutely amazing.	00:12:52
	We were the first to have Battle of the Badges and that's where the Police Department goes against the fire department. It's an	00:12:59
	amateur boxing event. We did, I believe three of them.	00:13:04
	Super successful. I would say we probably generated over six, at least 35,000, maybe 40,000 per event. We did three of them with	00:13:11
	all the funds, every single penny, everybody volunteered their time and efforts. Every single penny that was made for those events	00:13:19
	went strictly to the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme.	00:13:26
	We were the first to bring in professional boxing and actually there was a lot of boxers that started their career at Ocean View	00:13:35
	Pavilion, which is pretty cool. That was not a free event. We were the first to film Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, a	00:13:42
	wrestling show that we distributed. We we probably did it for about 6 years. We filmed that event. This was free to the community	00:13:49
	and we had people like David Arquette there. We had all sorts of crazy.	00:13:57
	From back in the 80s and the 90s, that came and it was a lot of fun. People loved coming to that event. We did that twice a month	00:14:05
	for six years, if you could imagine that. And this actually was televised nationally and internationally. So the city of Port	00:14:11
	Hueneme was everywhere. But I just give me a few more seconds here. We also provided free military concerts. We provided free art	00:14:18
	and craft fairs. We provided. Right now we're doing a Club 55 for seniors 55 and over.	00:14:25
	Once a month. That's just super, super cool. We.	00:14:33
	We had Big Bad Voodoo Daddy come and do concerts. We had Dave Mason. We were the opening people for Jo Koy. He started his career	00:14:36
	at Ocean View Pavilion.	00:14:40
	Jason love, April Love, but.	00:14:45
	George is a man with incredible dreams.	00:14:48
	A man who never says no.	00:14:52
	A man of community and thank you George, for all that you have done to make wine me amazing place to live in. Thank you, thank	00:14:55
	you.	00:14:59
	That concludes public comment.	00:15:10
	Thank you.	00:15:12
	OK.	00:15:14
	We will now move on to the approval of the agenda for City Council. May I have a motion and a second to approve the agenda so	00:15:16
	moved.	00:15:20
	2nd.	00:15:24
	Madam Clerk, all in favor? Aye, all opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	00:15:25
	Do any member of Council have any conflicts of interest to disclose for any item on the agenda tonight?	00:15:31
	Seeing none, we'll move on to presentation. The first presentation is the introduction of police Officer Luis Ortiz.	00:15:37
	Presented by our Chief of Police, Michael Federico.	00:15:45
	Good evening, everyone. Is my honor to introduce your newest police officer, Luis Ortiz.	00:15:52
	Can come awkwardly stand next to me, Laura.	00:15:59
	Talk about you here.	00:16:02
	Luis was born in Mexico. He came to the United States at the age of 10. He grew up in the southern part of Oxnard and in Port	00:16:07
	Hueneme. He completed his education from elementary through college here in Ventura County.	00:16:13
	As Luis describes, he had the honor to serve as an active duty combat engineer in the US Army where he completed 2 overseas	00:16:19
	deployments with the tremendous support of his family and wonderful wife.	00:16:25
	After finishing his service in March of 2022.	00:16:32
	He pursued his passion for law enforcement, graduated from Golden West College Police Academy in Huntington Beach, and then had	00:16:35
	the opportunity to work as a police officer for the City of Oxnard before coming here to us at Port Oney BPD.	00:16:43
	Luis tells us that he is deeply grateful to now be part of the Police Department team, he told me.	00:16:52
	It's a privilege to join such a dedicated team and he looks forward to contributing to the community and upholding the values of	00:16:59
	the department alongside his colleagues. He's he's currently in his field training phases and doing very well. He's becoming very	00:17:04
	well liked. He's showing his skills and proficiencies. He's impressed on those that he worked with and we're honored to have him	00:17:10
	here with us.	00:17:15
	Officer Luis Ortiz.	00:17:21
	Any words?	00:17:26
	Well, first of all, I want to just thank everybody for coming out for this warm welcome. And like I said before, it's great to be	00:17:30
	here. And all I can say is I promise to do my best to, you know, serve the community as best as possible.	00:17:37
	Thank you.	00:17:45
	Before you go, the council like to say a few words to officer.	00:17:49
	I think we had lunch together yesterday, right?	00:17:57
	Thank you for coming by. I was so.	00:18:01
	I'm so happy when we could sit down and.	00:18:05
	Share our community BBQ with the Police Department. It was pretty awesome, so thank you.	00:18:07
	Welcome, Officer. What was the name again?	00:18:15
	Ortiz Well, welcome, Officer Ortiz. Is your family here?	00:18:19
	Okay, okay. Well, I wanted to welcome them too. So thank you for being here. We're happy to see you and good luck in your service.	00:18:24
	Appreciate it. Thank you.	00:18:28
	Thank you for choosing wine me. As we know, every officer has a choice to what city they want to apply to. So we appreciate every	00:18:35
	officer who chooses to serve our community. We have a special community. We have a very community oriented Police Department and	00:18:41
	they love this community and I hope you can come to love it as well as much as they do. Did you say you have a wife and she's not	00:18:47
	here? Not here, no. OK, Well, I wanted to say, you know, thank you for your service and thank you for hers as well. Because it's	00:18:53
	not only is it a.	00:18:58
	Of yours, it is a service to the family. Being a police whack as I am, I understand that service and it's a service for the entire	00:19:04
	family.	00:19:08
	So we appreciate all the dedication to of our police officers and their families. And welcome to Waimea.	00:19:12
	And it's, it's always a plus to get a military veteran back on this department, which we want. So we got another Army vet. So we	00:19:25
	appreciate that a lot. Quick photo up here to the council behind you.	00:19:31
	Chief, are you looking?	00:19:54
	Thank you again.	00:20:08
	And my apologies, but.	00:20:11
	Uh, spontaneously a quick surprise for you. You know, we do have one more new Portway TV police officer.	00:20:14
	Is he here, ladies and gentlemen? Introducing George AKA Giorgio, our new police canine.	00:20:21
	Can we this?	00:20:49
	So as you can see, he's a incredibly playful pup, but he hit the streets this week and I didn't want to lose the opportunity	00:20:52
	because he was on agenda to get him in at least say hi. You're seeing him on social media. He's a non apprehension. You know, he	00:20:58
	he is a I search for guns and bombs and bad things. But half the time, honestly, he's been a therapy dog in the station and in the	00:21:04
	hallways. He just loves on everybody and.	00:21:10
	Everybody in the community that's met him loves him, so more to come on him in the future. I just wanted to make sure you all got	00:21:17
	a chance to see him.	00:21:20

	They work for hugs and ice cream, I said. So it kind of got us, got us by, but it also was a way for me to, to show them what	00:31:02
	volunteering was like in their own community. Today I have us, our staff members here. Today I about, I don't know, 10-11 years	00:31:07
	ago, I asked the city of Port, Wyoming to help pay for my tuition to VCLA, Ventura County Leadership Academy. And that's probably	00:31:13
	one of the best things I've ever did. So, you know, it's just a way to get back to our community. And our slogan is developing	00:31:19
	impactful leaders.	00:31:24
	Better stop before I start crying. But really I just want to give a lot of glory to God. Thank you.	00:31:59
	Kevin, you want a picture? You want to take a photo, Kevin?	00:32:06
	Kevin, come back.	00:32:09
	At least I.	00:32:30
	Yeah.	00:32:32
	You guys are a little Oscar that week.	00:32:37
	No, I think we're good.	00:32:44
	Gotta say it, just make the turf proud, right? That's right. Why need me for life?	00:33:08
	The next presentation is the recognition of Wyoming beach festival poster contest winners Mayor if it's OK, can I can I say	00:33:19
	something real quick I just want to say that I can't think of any two other men that that would represent our city as the Wyoming	00:33:25
	heroes award and.	00:33:32
	Well, I don't remember the first time I meet a person. Everyone. I remember the first time I met Kevin out at.	00:33:39
	Bubbling Springs Park, where I was.	00:33:45
	Improving my videography skills and gave me some tips and I remember the first time I met George at the pavilion when I was on my	00:33:48
	quest to.	00:33:52
	Find the the skateboarding plans for for the city. And I just wanted I want to say that I I hope to be like you 22 gentlemen, as I	00:33:58
	continue on my on my path to improve as a as a person. So you've you've both definitely earned this award and I'm I'm very happy	00:34:05
	to have you guys receive the winning heroes award. Thank you.	00:34:12
	About a year ago I was helping Kevin celebrate 10 years, I believe over at the Learning Center, 2 years.	00:34:27
	So there were thinking big, thinking big, right here in Wanami.	00:34:35
	So I just want to read a little bit from the speech I did and it these words apply to both Kevin and George. I attended ADSB	00:34:39
	concert at the Ocean View pavilions. Everybody know what DSB stands for?	00:34:45
	What?	00:34:52
	Don't stop believing. Kevin and George never stopped believing in themselves or their community, and that's why they're being	00:34:54
	honored today. And we are so grateful to have these two gentlemen in our community still chasing the dream, still believe in that	00:35:01
	there's good all around us bringing people together to form a better community. We have a wonderful community and it keeps getting	00:35:09
	better because of people like George and Kevin. And I will just want to say to.	00:35:16
	Anyone in the room, the young artists that are here tonight, don't stop believing in yourself. Keep working hard for those goals	00:35:23
	and do good for your community. Thank you.	00:35:29
	The good thing about our Hero Awards, and I think the most special part about Hero Awards, is that their homegrown community	00:35:45
	members who everybody knows because of their enormous contributions to what they bring to this community. We are a small	00:35:52
	community, but we make a huge impact. And George and Kevin are two of those people that have made huge impacts in their community	00:35:59
	that they live in. You've turned your life around, Kevin. You've grown into an enormous and amazing individual.	00:36:06
	And you are such an inspiration to kids.	00:36:13
	Young and old.	00:36:16
	Who might be struggling or need to find their way or need to understand what they can do in their life. You set the perfect	00:36:17
	example of being able to find that dream. Continue pursuing that and showing what that can do. And, and so I thank you for your	00:36:25
	contribution to this community. And George, you do so many things for the senior community, for everyone. And you are such a	00:36:32
	generous heart. And I think this is a perfect example of a true hero award for whiny me. So thank you both for your contribution.	00:36:40
	And so can we have.	00:36:57
	Mr. Frank Montelongo, come up please. He is the police property and evidence supervisor and he'll be giving us the recognition of	00:37:00
	Wyoming Beach Festival poster contest winners. And Frank, before you start and sorry, I specifically told Frank I wouldn't speak	00:37:08
	before, but I'm going to jump in from 1 moment. So we're going to do our Wanami Beach Festival post poster contest winners.	00:37:15
	Normally we would have like a pause so people can can leave, but we promised this item is actually interesting and.	00:37:22
	And that you'll enjoy it. So I would suggest we get through this item and then we can take a maybe a minute break and, and let	00:37:31
	people leave. But before we do that, I just want to give as a plug, a reminder that at the Beach Festival this Saturday, we're,	00:37:38
	we're, we're going to unveil these posters. We're also going to again honor Kevin and George, our heroes at noon on Saturday on	00:37:45
	our mainstage. So everybody who's here today, if you have a chance, I think it's 100°.	00:37:53
	Everywhere but Port Hueneme so, so come on down and hang out at the beach and and we'll get to honor Kevin and and George one more	00:38:00
	time. So and with that, Frank, if you can take it away on the beach posters. Perfect. Good evening, everyone. So continue with the	00:38:06
	theme of the Wyoming Beach Festival and getting youth engagement and youth involvement this year.	00:38:13
	This was so for our high school winner. We had Giselle Magana from My Name High School who was selected for the high school	00:38:50
	student. Is she here?	00:38:54
	And one of the things for the every winter tonight, Lujan Transportation has gracially made a donation for each student to use	00:39:09
	towards school for being a winner of the contest.	00:39:14
	Wait, can we see?	00:39:31
	Yes, oh very nice. Look at that. That is so cool and that is for her to keep as well for you to take home. That is yours.	00:39:38
	14th.	00:39:46
	You're welcome mate.	00:39:50
	For our junior high contestant, it was Aurelia Diaz from Ocean View Junior High.	00:39:57
	She here? Please come up.	00:40:02
	Thank you.	00:40:33
	Turn around, turn around. Let's see.	00:40:34
	Very cute, beautiful, good job.	00:40:37
	Thank you.	00:40:41
	Now for our two elementary school winners, we ended up choosing an upper elementary in a lower elementary student. So for the	00:40:49
	upper elementary, which they might be in junior high now is a Fernando Vasquez from Driftle Elementary.	00:40:55
	Turn around. Oh, oh, yes.	00:41:30
	Good job, Fernando.	00:41:35
	Turn around.	00:41:36
	Can we see?	00:41:41
	Oh my goodness, look at that.	00:41:44
	Good job, it's beautiful.	00:41:47
	And our youngest winner for this contest, Arya Moncada from Saint Anthony School.	00:41:55
	She's so cute.	00:42:04
	Over here, Adri.	00:42:08
	Bring her over here more.	00:42:10
	Yeah.	00:42:14
	Look over here.	00:42:31
	Then some additional information for the contest winners before we bring a backup for one more photo.	00:42:39
	Oh, look at that. Thank you so much.	00:42:45
	So beautiful.	00:42:48
	So for all of their artwork, if you go to wanamibeachfestival.org, which we launched a brand new website for the beach festival,	00:42:58
	now it's under the cities website, all of their artwork is displayed as the contestant winners.	00:43:04
	Later on this week or next week, we're going to get all of these images up as well. They've been digitized.	00:43:10
	JPEG. So we're going to get them in a carousel. And another fun fact, besides Luhan Transport making a donation, the Port of Wine	00:43:16
	EMI with their community care is also stepped up to be a partner. And they are going to provide all the banners that will be hung	00:43:22
	at the Wanami Beach Festival. With all this art we digitize on the banners, all the art we destroyed.	00:43:28
	OK.	00:43:36
	So if we could just get all the winners back up one more time so we get a group photo, I'd appreciate it.	00:43:40
	And let's all stand.	00:43:44
	Yeah.	00:43:49
	Did anyone get in?	00:44:00
	Thank you everyone.	00:44:24
	OK, you're all released to go now.	00:44:38
	That concludes.	00:44:42
	The fun part of the council meeting.	00:44:42
	But you can all stay if you like.	00:44:45
	Yeah, it's going to take a moment to get everything out.	00:44:49
	All right.	00:45:28
	So you so.	00:45:35
	Yeah.	00:45:48

	How was your first day at school?	00:50:49
	We're always there.	00:51:32
	Oh yeah.	00:51:51
	A really great person.	00:52:41
	Yeah.	00:53:50
	I'm going to hit my gavel here in a minute.	00:54:27
	Come on.	00:54:34
	Hi, I would like to call this meeting back to order. Please anyone staying please have a seat. If you're not get.	00:54:48
	Never mind.	00:54:56
	Just kidding.	00:54:58
	I think my daughter wants to go home.	00:55:00
	Now this is more like it.	00:55:05
	Hold on one moment.	00:55:13
	Mr. Rollins in the back.	00:55:20
	Could you please shut that door?	00:55:22
	David, thank you.	00:55:24
	OK, we're going to move on to the consent calendar, but I first a few words from our city attorney.	00:55:33
	Good evening, Madam Mayor.	00:55:39
	Council members and staff. I, for one, I'm really glad to see the crowd has thinned out because I want to correct something that I	00:55:41
	did during the July 15 meeting. During that meeting, a motion was made by one of the council members and I sustained that motion.	00:55:48
	I should have overruled it. So I just want to correct that.	00:55:55
	Thank you. Can you be more specific?	00:56:02
	No, not at this time.	00:56:05
	OK. Thank you.	00:56:08
	That's too bad. So we will now consider items on the consent calendar, which will be enacted in one motion and let's a council	00:56:09
	member has a request to remove an item for discussion. Does any council member have any items they'd like to pull?	00:56:16
	I would like, yeah.	00:56:23
	I'd like to pull the minute.	00:56:24
	OK, so we'll pull item number 4. For the record, may I have a motion to approve items 5 through?	00:56:27
	11 Motion to Approve Items 5311.	00:56:34
	2nd Madam Clerk.	00:56:37
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	00:56:41
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:56:44
	Council Member Hernandez.	00:56:47
	OK, just give me a second here to find.	00:56:49
	OK, so this is in reference to what the city attorney was just referring to. I think the minutes didn't quite reflect that. When	00:56:56
	Councilman Gama made the point of order, I had indicated that it was not a point of order because he his statements did not	00:57:04
	demonstrate that it was a point of order and the city attorney had decided to.	00:57:12
	Allow him to continue. So her correction had to do with the fact that.	00:57:21
	A point of order has to do with a procedure that's not being followed. It doesn't have to do with a rebuttal of what somebody else	00:57:27
	is saying, which was what happened at the last meeting. So that's the the minutes didn't quite capture that. So thank you. That	00:57:34
	correction could be somewhat made in the minutes. I'd appreciate it.	00:57:42
	Any further discussion on this item?	00:57:50
	I thought the minutes were pulled to discuss.	00:57:54
	So is there something I missed? Something here?	00:57:57
	It just asked for a correction to the minutes.	00:58:01
	To reflect the discussion, the correct discussion.	00:58:04
	Where would that correction be?	00:58:07
	Joan gave it. Our city attorney gave it before the consent calendar was called.	00:58:09
	Which would be reflected in the amended minutes, correct Is what is the process for this if Council decides to amend the minutes,	00:58:14
	Yes. So we're going to have a motion to approve that correction for the record.	00:58:21
	And a second.	00:58:28
	Do I have a motion to approve item?	00:58:30
	So moved.	00:58:33
	A second, I have a point of clarification.	00:58:34
	I think the question is to amend the minutes. Can it be identified where the amendment in the meeting minutes are and what does it	00:58:37
	supposed to say?	00:58:43
	I think it's going to say that I incorrectly asked for a point of order.	00:58:50
	Chris, perfect.	00:58:56
	I'll accept that in my motion.	00:58:58
	OK, let me let me ask a question again.	00:59:02
	So I'm looking at the minutes and can you just identify where that correction is to be made in the minutes? And the reason why I	00:59:04
	brought it up is because we pulled the minutes and we didn't discuss the minutes. So that's why I brought it up. So yeah, I'm	00:59:11
	trying to find the, I'm trying to find my minutes. I thought I made the notation here.	00:59:17
	Georgiana, can you assist?	00:59:25
	Let me pull that up.	00:59:29
	I'm OK with the correction and you know, if we can move on for time purposes, I think we all agree.	00:59:35
	I inappropriately made a request and it was sustained and it should have been overruled.	00:59:41
	That is correct. OK.	00:59:48
	I should have overruled it.	00:59:50
	Yes, I have a simple question. I didn't remember seeing it in the minutes. Is that reflected in the minutes?	00:59:52
	Oh, I found it OK. It's under business items.	00:59:58
	What is it a #9 of 12?	01:00:01
	I remember it was during the discussion. OK so discussion followed. Council member Gama called a point of order. Council member	01:00:05
	Hernandez requested that she not be interrupted and allowed to finish her thought. So it should be that she that council and my	01:00:13
	name spelled wrong. Council member Hernandez pointed out that the IT was not a point of order and the.	01:00:21
	City Attorney.	01:00:30
	Sustained improperly sustained the point of order. Thank you.	01:00:32
	OK. So we have a motion. Is the motion acceptable as is? Yes.	01:00:39
	We have a second, second. OK Can I have a?	01:00:44
	Vote please. All in favor Aye. All opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you.	01:00:47
	Moving on to public hearings, the first public hearing will be to adopt A resolution granting Special Use permit #1124 to allow	01:00:56
	the Port of Wayne Amy Oxen Harbor District to host the 11th annual Port of Waimea Banana Festival and find the event exempt from	01:01:02
	sequa. Madam Clerk, do you have proof and publication as required by law and a complete file of reports and exhibits? Yes, Madam	01:01:08
	Mayor, thank you. Will staff please present the report?	01:01:14
	Good evening Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council up before you tonight as read in the agenda the Port of Wanami, Oxnard Harbor	01:01:26
	District, 11th Annual Port of Waimi Festival Special Use Permit 11-24.	01:01:35
	So the request is to hold the Port Hueneme or who hold a an event known as the 11th annual Port of Waimea Banana Festival.	01:01:46
	In its standard location that has been done before, which is the Sunkist lot inside of the port of Winami. As has been done with	01:02:00
	previous years, the festival will include various other components. One thing to note about this year's is that there is a static	01:02:05
	vintage car show.	01:02:11
	That is being proposed along with over 70 food and retail vendors, a recreational children's area, live art exhibit area, alcohol	01:02:17
	booths, entertainment in a mainstage, commercial and industrial mechanical equipment exhibits and the equipment will be out on	01:02:24
	display for the general public to view some of the items that the port uses, as well as land and boat port tours and general	01:02:32
	information booths. The festival is set to.	01:02:39
	For on Saturday, September 28th from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and it's approximated that 10,000 participants will be there.	01:02:47
	So this item is being brought to you for a couple of reasons here. The main reasons being that there is live entertainment that is	01:02:57
	going to be part of the event. There is also closure of public streets adjacent to the Wanami Beach Park and request for free	01:03:06
	parking for this event. This event is considered exempt under Sequim as the event will be minor.	01:03:14
	And temporary as part of a land use.	01:03:23
	Here we see the proposed festival site plan. I would like to focus on the right side there as far as where the roads are going to	01:03:27
	be closed and the static car show will take place that's outlined in green. So that area would be used as staging for these for	01:03:33
	the cars to be on display. The cars will be on display for the duration of the festival and they will not be allowed to move the	01:03:40
	vehicles in order to provide safety.	01:03:46
	Speaking about Rd. closures, there will be a hard closure on Surfside Drive.	01:03:54
	Located there SE on the corner there were page 4 is and with that it will still allow vehicles to enter and exit Surfside one. And	01:04:00
	then if we move up north, there's going to be a long Market Street. There's going to be two entrances into the festival. One will	01:04:08
	be on the South side, which will be the general entry point and then on the north you'll see in yellow will be the VIP entrance on	01:04:15
	that specific corner of Seaview.	01:04:22
	And market there will be a soft closure. The purpose of that is to continue to allow the Anacapa View Beach homes to have access	01:04:30
	to their main entrance. Moving to the left side is the main festival map. It has retained some of its original layout where the	01:04:37
	security checkpoint will happen on two sections, one in the VIP area and then the other for the general public, which is a little	01:04:45
	bit larger to accommodate the crowds. Left of that will be the kids recreational area.	01:04:52
	In the middle, you'll see that there's various vendors and exhibits that have been scattered all throughout so that people have.	01:05:00
	A chance to sort of view everything and and just have a leisure travel exploring the exhibits and the vendors throughout the	01:05:08
	location.	01:05:13
	On the northwest side will be the mainstage and along the South area will be food vendors, various portable restroom areas. And	01:05:18
	another thing to note would be that on the northeast corner via next to the VIP area entrance will be the poured tours that will	01:05:25
	be on a first come first serve basis.	01:05:33
	The car show and entertainment so static car show. It's approximated that 130 vintage vehicles will be on display once again,	01:05:44
	they'll be along Market Street and Surfside Drive. Display vehicles will be arranged and parked before the festival and will be on	01:05:51
	display until the conclusion of the festival. There will be an award show planned to occur at 3:30 PM and entertainment is still	01:05:58
	being finalized but will be available on the main website for the Banana Festival.	01:06:05
	Security.	01:06:13
	Galleon, a protective service, will provide security for the event and we'll have 15U guards stationed in and around the site. All	01:06:15
	guests will be screened by security before entering the festival grounds and the Port Hueneme Police Department staff will also be	01:06:20
	available to handle any escalating issues.	01:06:26
	Traffic Control As previously mentioned, Market Street will be closed South of Anacapa View Beach Homes driveway with a soft	01:06:34
	closure on the corner of Seaview St. and Market Street to allow access for those community members on Anacapa View Beach Homes.	01:06:42
	And once again Surfside Drive will be closed West of Surfside Ones main entrance.	01:06:51
	The street closures are set to commence on Saturday, September 28th, the date of the event from 4:00 AM and will reopen back to	01:06:57
	the general public by 6:00 PM. The Port Hueneme Police Department and the Port Hueneme Police Explorers will utilize will be	01:07:04
	utilized at key crossings and vehicular turn around areas to aid in the different vehicular mobility changes. Temporary	01:07:12
	directional signs and two digital signs which will be located on Ventura at Clara St. and Ventura Rd. at Port Hueneme Rd.	01:07:19
	Will be used to aid festival guests and in residents, letting them know of the circulation changes and where to park and whatnot.	01:07:27
	It's encouraged that persons that can walk to the event. Another sustainability and mitigation measure to avoid the lack of	01:07:36
	parking is rideshare. Rideshare pick up and drop off loading area will be provided at 105 E Fort Wayne Rd. and parking will be	01:07:45
	made available for free and all of the Wanami Beach parking lots which include.	01:07:53
	ABCE and along Ocean View and Surfside Drive.	01:08:02
	Accessible parking and one hour parking for Surfside Seafood patrons will be available in parking Lot AIM and in order to aid and	01:08:05
	getting the festival goers to their destination, a free ADA compliant shuttle will be provided with pickup locations from all	01:08:12
	beach parking lots from 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM.	01:08:20
	The fiscal impact.	01:08:29
	Because the event will be featuring free parking, beach parking revenues will not be collected for beach parking lots and the cost	01:08:32
	to cover city staffing of the event, police officers, maintenance crews, etcetera, will also occur.	01:08:39
	Strategic plan consistency there's 2IN alignment with optimal levels of service for residents and businesses. Support an	01:08:48
	established programs and events that create a strong sense of community pride and connection to our history in our heritage.	01:08:54
	Innovative and opportunity Innovation and opportunity retain and maximize opportunities for local businesses as the backbone of	01:09:00
	our community.	01:09:06
	It is now recommended that the City Council adopt A resolution that conditionally approves Special Use Permit 1124 and finds the	01:09:14
	project to be categorically examined from Sequel.	01:09:20
	Before I take on any questions, actually Randy Latimer, Director for the Banana Festival Committee, is here to go ahead and give a	01:09:27
	brief presentation.	01:09:31
	Good evening, Mayor. Mayor Pro Tem.	01:09:41
	Honorable City Council members, my name is Randy Latimer. I'm I have the honor of being selected as the director for the ports	01:09:44
	Banana festival. This is my second year and it's just not me as as if anyone's ever put on a festival or participated or	01:09:53
	volunteered. And we do need volunteers. I do have a team. First of all, we have the port port commissioner.	01:10:01
	Selena and Drew here and I have also two of my team members here.	01:10:10
	My lovely wife, assistant back here and Miss Ellenette, you can hear her on the radio every morning.	01:10:16
	But that's just part of my team because it does take a village to run a festival. This year's festival, pretty much the same as if	01:10:25
	you did not make last year's festival. Please come out on September 28th. It's going to be amazing. First of all, it's free. It's	01:10:32
	free to the public, free shuttles, free parking, free entry, free music.	01:10:40
	And our we are enhancing a lot of the features of the festival this year. One of the things we're really, really focusing on is	01:10:49
	making sure that the public knows all the amazing things that goes on at the port. I've been in Oxnard and Port Hueneme. I went to	01:10:56
	Wayne High School.	01:11:02
	And this is my 59th year.	01:11:10
	In this community and I really didn't know what went on at the port until I became involved with the port. I'm like, Oh my gosh,	01:11:13
	this is such an amazing event that everyone should should be a part of. And once again, it's free. So if you if you aren't doing	01:11:21
	anything Saturday the 28th, you should come out to the festival.	01:11:29
	To support the the ports.	01:11:39
	Clean air initiatives, we have something very special that we're working on to have a most festivals you go to and I've been to a	01:11:42
	lot over the last three months.	01:11:48
	You hear a loud generators, you hear. You smell gas, you hear diesel. We're working with a firm this year to really enhance the	01:11:57
	ports initiative of clean energy by using 0 emission vehicles and generators to power everything at the port at the festival,	01:12:05
	meaning the mainstage. Instead of hearing this loud generator, you'll hear nothing.	01:12:14
	You know you will not. The goal is to not hear or smell a generator.	01:12:23
	At all and to support the clean air initiative that the port is really supporting. So that's I'm really excited. I got really	01:12:28
	geeked out when I got a call from the power company that would that's gonna work with us on supplying this. We have a lot of	01:12:36
	vendors. Most of our demographic comes from the local community and most of our vendors come from our local community. We believe	01:12:43
	in the port believes in giving back to the community.	01:12:51
	And supporting local business. So this is a great opportunity for retail, food vendors and this businesses, businesses and our	01:12:58
	community to get a that one day a year the port really opens up and shows exactly how they give back. Another thing that we have,	01:13:08
	we have banana beer again, so those of you who do partake in there, we have banana beer, a local beer Brewing Company.	01:13:18
	Supplying that one of our sponsors and we are, we're, we're having once again, I think 2 versions this year of banana beer. So	01:13:28
	live music, great entertainment, once again local and it's just going to be a fun great time. We have a local gentleman, Ralph	01:13:38
	Casius, who's supporting us with the car show. We have over 130 vehicles that are going to be at the vintage car show.	01:13:48
	As you walk into the festival, you're going to be greeted with with these amazing cars. So our plan is to have the a full day of	01:13:58
	fun. We have boat tours, we have a double Decker bus taking these land tours and once again, those are very popular attractions	01:14:06
	and they're free.	01:14:13
	So I can keep going on and on and on, but you guys have a whole, you have an entire meeting to go. But I do want to show a video.	01:14:22
	Last year's festival. So if you did not go last year, this is what you will experience this year.	01:14:28
	And lastly, yes, Miss Chiquita Banana will be.	01:16:04
	Are you having a whiny PD do the dunk take again this year?	01:16:09
	Or a new a new person.	01:16:13
	I think they left just because they knew that you're going to ask that question. That was my husband in that duct tape. So he	01:16:16
	earned a lot of money that day for you guys.	01:16:20
	All right, does Council have any questions?	01:16:27
	The question, the first, a couple of comments, if I may. Of course, yeah.	01:16:29
	Randy, thank you so much for your presentation. Thank you Jose, also for your introduction on what the festival is going to.	01:16:34
	Involved I want to tell you how impressed I am with your plan. Has enough former emergency planner and a planner at heart.	01:16:41
	It is so well put together, beginning with the event overview. You've got crowd management, handling of pets, lost people, crowd	01:16:51
	control, medical first aid, how to deal with unruly gas, emergency evacuations. You've you've covered all the bases, all the	01:16:59
	contingencies. So I wanted to say thank you. It's really a well put together plan. There was one.	01:17:07
	Thing I noticed that was happening that day, and I don't know if it was on your radar, but the 805 Patriots are planning a 9/11	01:17:17
	drive or ride from Malibu through Wineeme to Oxnard.	01:17:22
	And I don't know if it's on your radar, but you might want to check out their traffic plan. I don't know if the chief is aware of	01:17:29
	it either, but they're they're planning on driving through. Driving through. Yeah, but that's actually doing our our festival, not	01:17:35
	not yours. Sorry. Yeah. So a plan put together by.	01:17:42
	Anyway, good plan. Thank you. It sounds like a plan put together by a former law enforcement officer.	01:17:49
	Just a couple of years.	01:17:58
	Any other questions? Yeah, no question, but a comment. Thank you so much for your presentation and as Councilwoman Hernandez said,	01:18:00
	for your, your your brief, everything. I read it and there was no questions that came up after that, so I appreciate that. The	01:18:06
	other thing I would say is that I am very excited for the Banana Fest. I did go last year. I've been years before that and I think	01:18:12
	last year was probably the best one that I've ever been to. And I know you had something to do with that and I know even prior to	01:18:18
	that you were doing.	01:18:24
	Security and things like that. But I am so excited that the port and trusted in you and your company to to support this effort and	01:18:30
	I am excited about it. Thank you. Thank you. May I have the same feelings as my 2 council members here? So there's only one issue	01:18:39
	that I see and I believe we had a person come complain about the direction, the way the sound travels.	01:18:48
	And I believe we indicated to that person that we're going to now in the future direct.	01:18:58
	The sound away from the buildings. And I don't see that in this plan. And it's not your fault, but it's something that we know	01:19:04
	about. But I thought that we kind of said that was for our festival. No. Yes, it was. She was complaining about amplificated	01:19:12
	music. Yeah, she she had complained about amplified sound across a couple of events, primarily.	01:19:20
	In the location further away from the port and closer to like the Alaska Memorial for example.	01:19:30
	So in that area, all of the projects that we're going through, we're making sure to work with the applicants to have them identify	01:19:38
	facing the music away. In this case, we did work with them to identify that. And it's in the plan that they will monitor sound	01:19:44
	levels utilizing a decibel meter and communicate with Port Hueneme PD regarding any sound concerns or complaints. But because of	01:19:50
	the location of it and the fact that the speakers are going to be way back in the port, but we didn't require them, I could hear	01:19:56
	very clearly.	01:20:01
	Backyard during the Banana festival, which doesn't bother me.	01:20:07
	But I thought perhaps if it was angled out towards the ocean that might.	01:20:11
	Eliminate the vibe. What do they call it?	01:20:16
	Echo chamber type thing that comes through the Anyways, I just want to make sure that we're.	01:20:19
	Holding up our end. Or I think we did make some kind of commitment to the lady. Actually, I can.	01:20:26
	We we did take proactive measures this year to actually change our sound system from what we used last year. We use a very large	01:20:34
	sound system last year that wasn't really compatible with the what we wanted to do. So we purposely brought in a smaller system.	01:20:43
	So you can actually talk during the festival and have conversations like in our VIP area.	01:20:52
	So I don't think you'll get the if, if there was any reverberation or base or anything, I don't think we'll get that this year.	01:20:58
	And the speakers on the mainstage are actually faced in a.	01:21:06
	Eastern more in the southern direction away from any of the houses. So there you'll get ambient noise. But like I said, this year,	01:21:15
	we won't even have the effect of that we had last year, which I didn't have many complaints about it. We we will have a a ADJ out	01:21:23
	on the in the car show area, but that's more lower, lower music more for.	01:21:32
	Atmosphere than anything else.	01:21:42
	Where the main show was going on, the main part of the festival was going on in the sun kissed lot surrounded by walls and you. We	01:21:44
	should not get very very much ambient noise outside of the festival.	01:21:50
	Thank you. So we will move on to the public hearing. The public hearing is now open, the time being 7:52 PM. Madam Clerk, are	01:21:58
	there any public comments regarding this item? We have no public comments. Thank you. So I will conclude the public input, the	01:22:04
	time being 7:52 PM.	01:22:11
	And we will.	01:22:19
	We have a force, a recommendation to adopt A resolution approving Special use permit #11-24 Banana Festival and find the project	01:22:21
	special use permit #11-24 to be categorically exempt from SEQUA and to take such additional related action that may be desirable.	01:22:28
	May I have a motion and a second motion to approve the recommendations?	01:22:34
	Thank you. Kind of a second, second perfect. Any further discussion regarding this item?	01:22:41
	Seeing none, Madam Clerk.	01:22:47
	I'm going to take a roll call vote because it's public hearing council member Gama.	01:22:49
	Yes, Councilmember Hernandez. Yes. Councilmember Martinez. Yes. Mayor Pro Tem McLean Legend. Yes. And Mayor Perez. Yes. Motion	01:22:53
	passes unanimously. Thank you. Congratulations.	01:22:58
	We will now be moving on to business items. The first business item is the designation of voting delegate and alternate for the	01:23:06
	2024 League of California City's Annual Conference.	01:23:12
	May we have the report please? Yes, thank you. And it'll be very brief. I think we've all.	01:23:18
	Gone through this in the past. It's a yearly item, so we're probably familiar with it. But just the basic background is that each	01:23:26
	year at the League of California Cities Annual Conference, which is being held this year from October 16th to 18th in Long Beach,	01:23:32
	on the last day of the conference, the League of Cities holds a General Assembly where city officials can vote on the development	01:23:38
	of Cal Cities policies.	01:23:44
	And so each year when they do this, they ask each city.	01:23:51
	To identify a voting delegate and up to two alternates to attend and vote on behalf of the City Council. And so each year we go	01:23:56
	through this process.	01:24:00
	And it's that time of year again. So the event is next month. Currently we have two council members who we understand are planning	01:24:07
	to participate, Council member Hernandez and council member Gama So.	01:24:13
	Logically it seems one of them would be the voting member and one would be the alternate, but it's ultimately up to council to	01:24:20
	designate. So the items on the agenda to allow council to to designate those positions. Thank you. Does council have any	01:24:25
	questions?	01:24:30
	Or comments? I have a question, I guess. Can we confirm that Councilman Gama was the?	01:24:35
	Primary last year you were not. I recall that he had to leave.	01:24:43
	Call that conversation and I don't think it was pulled from the agenda. So there wasn't anything to vote on so.	01:24:48
	Last year. So who was the last year? I believe you were the delegate and Councilmember Gomo was the alternate because you two were	01:24:55
	also the only ones attending. OK.	01:25:00
	Any further?	01:25:07
	Questions or comments?	01:25:08
	OK. So then we are there any public comments regarding this item? No public comments. Thank you.	01:25:12
	So there's a number of issues to vote on. So will we as a council, I don't want to vote what I think. I want to vote the will of	01:25:46
	the council. And so how do we go through that process to see what the will of the council is? Because it, it, it otherwise it's,	01:25:53
	you know what I think. And I'm pretty sure we all don't agree all the time.	01:26:00
	Well, what we normally, if I may, what we normally vote on, because I've gone every year since I've been on the City Council.	01:26:08
	Are not.	01:26:14
	Issues on necessarily on our legislative agenda, but they have issues to do with the organization and the bylaws of the California	01:26:16
	League of Cities. Well, do we have a list of those issues so that well there are issues related to bylaws. So I don't know that we	01:26:23
	would have it would be something that this council would be necessarily concerned about because we're members of the California	01:26:31
	League of Cities and I can attest to that being a voting delegate before it wasn't anything pertaining to.	01:26:38
	Something we would be concerned about specifically for our city, it was about the organization of the California League of Cities.	01:26:47
	So regardless of who votes, it doesn't really matter.	01:26:51
	And I will note that we do every year and I believe this year again, ask them for the information on what's going to be voted on	01:26:57
	beforehand because we would like to include that and, and, and kind of let everybody see what it is. And every year now,	01:27:04
	especially the last few years, they don't have that ready and I believe we have, but I do believe I recall there was an issue	01:27:10
	where.	01:27:16
	Everyone was against it. Or was that something?	01:27:24
	No, that was a.	01:27:27
	It was again, it was an internal administrative issue not pertaining to, but in terms like like sending a letter to the governor	01:27:29
	asking him to end the Adu legislation. There's nothing like that in this. No, not typically. And I would say if there was, I would	01:27:36
	just remind everybody we haven't adopted legislative platform and to vote consistent with that adopted legislative platform. So	01:27:43
	what I'm hearing is, is there is no prep work just.	01:27:50
	Council Member.	01:27:58
	I'm assuming it's gonna either be one of you 2. Does anybody really, really want it?	01:27:59
	I'm happy to do it.	01:28:04
	But I was the primary last year or so and I don't have a problem with that comma.	01:28:07
	I'm fine either way. I mean, if the key is it's on Friday, I believe it's the last, it's the last day, the last thing. So the	01:28:12
	question is is, you know, are we going to I'll be there till the end, but all right, well, can I make a motion to designate	01:28:17
	council member?	01:28:22
	Laura Hernandez as our voting delegate and Councilmember Gama. Steven Gama is our alternate for the 2024 League of California	01:28:29
	Cities Annual Conference. Do you have a second? Oh, OK, All in favor? Aye. All opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:28:35
	Thank you.	01:28:41
	The next item on the agenda is the Community Benefit Fund 2024 project list.	01:28:49
	Will staff please present the report? Yes, thank you. And we'll pull a slide up here in a moment that shows some of the specific	01:28:55
	projects we're going to be discussing. But in the meantime, just a little bit of background. I think everybody on council knows	01:29:02
	it, but maybe more for the benefit of the the public is that we talk about community benefit fund frequently. And just to remind	01:29:10
	people of what that is, it was a fund created in our 2015 agreement with the the port in the city of Port Hueneme.	01:29:17
	And it essentially allocates $100,000 from the port annually to a fund called the Community Benefit Fund that is to be used for	01:29:25
	mutually agreeable projects. And as part of that, the agreement actually established a joint city port committee that has the	01:29:35
	mayor, mayor Pro Tem and myself with the port president, port vice president and port chief.	01:29:45
	Executive Officer to work together each year.	01:29:55
	To identify the projects I.	01:29:59
	That.	01:30:03
	It's the second presentation, the other.	01:30:05
	To identify the projects that.	01:30:08
	To identify the projects that.	01:30:15
	Are to be funded each year from the Community Benefit Fund and so this year.	01:30:18
	We do expect to have about $143,000 allocated.	01:30:24
	Per the last meeting with the Joint Port Committee, we've gone a few steps through this process. We've already had initial council	01:30:29
	review, we've had ACAC review. And we'll note now that the next item is more focused on being responsive to the CA CS review where	01:30:37
	essentially the, the CAC, the Citizen Advisory Commission identified some process improvements that they want to recommend. And so	01:30:44
	they didn't really end up recommending specific projects this year, but the it's already.	01:30:52
	Gone to the City Council, gone to the CAC, gone to the joint city port committee. And I think for the most part we've identified	01:30:59
	joint projects that we want to work on. I think the report notes about $113,000 and.	01:31:08
	In projects for this year and then there's $30,000 approximately left to identify. And at that point when we identified that	01:31:18
	$30,000 gap, the port essentially decided are the city and the port each decided that the joint committees would go back to the	01:31:27
	council and the board and get direction and feedback on those items. So.	01:31:35
	As the report notes, the only two items we discussed.	01:31:45
	Are the two items that we ended up discussing with the port at the joint committee meeting was a public safety allocation and a	01:31:48
	mental health?	01:31:52
	Allocation, So the report notes that that could be funding towards the Health and Wellness Festival.	01:31:56
	To for the mental health aspect and then funding for the canine program for the public safety aspect. But again, the consensus was	01:32:04
	to go back to the council with those suggestions and get council direction and council feedback. So we'll pull up in a moment here	01:32:11
	the list of the $113,000 projects.	01:32:18
	And then really the key question tonight would be whether the council agrees with those and then wants to provide direction on	01:32:25
	that $30,000 difference to go back to the joint committee. So thank you. Does Council have any questions for staff?	01:32:33
	I do.	01:32:43
	So at the last port Commission meeting, there was a discussion regarding the 30,000, at which point the port had recommended that	01:32:45
	that 30,000 be used for the implementation of the economic development plan. I don't know if you were listening in on that	01:32:53
	discussion. The chief was there, maybe he caught that, but.	01:33:01
	I was there, but I wasn't there representing the city, so I didn't report back on that until today.	01:33:11
	And I believe Martha, you were there, you heard that right. So it was one suggestion. Well, yeah, it was, but the Commission	01:33:17
	approved it. So I'm just saying that that that's their position is to put that $30,000 now into the economic Development Fund. I	01:33:26
	also wanted to ask when we, when did with the Council have an opportunity to discuss?	01:33:35
	The public safety project and providing funding for the city's canine and now that we have a canine is it's still necessary. I	01:33:44
	don't frankly don't remember us discussing that as a council. So how it ended up on the agenda, I'm not sure.	01:33:53
	Do you have a comment regarding that?	01:34:03
	Yes. So as it relates to yes, I was there at the the the port board meeting and I think we were, we were the only two that were	01:34:06
	there. And so the conversation, I don't think there's been a decision on whether to do it or not use the money for the areas of	01:34:13
	economic.	01:34:19
	Economic development, The areas that came out of our economic development plan, specifically Market Street.	01:34:27
	And so I think the, and we have the president here if she wants to say something.	01:34:35
	What was said was there there was a motion that they look at the last $33,000 to see if it can align with some items in the city's	01:34:42
	economic development plan, since that has been identified as important because it was in our economic development plan and the	01:34:50
	decision was to.	01:34:58
	To possibly use that $33,000 to hire someone to look at what possibly can be done in that area. The decision wasn't made to do	01:35:09
	that. It was. It was for one of the commissioners to come back with clarified a clarified path forward.	01:35:20
	That was.	01:35:34
	I'm more confused than ever. So it was a suggestion. It was a suggestion. Is it on our list because it wasn't finalized? The	01:35:36
	public safety aspect came from. That was actually one of the recommendations from one of the port commissioners. That was his	01:35:44
	request to put it on there. And it was an agreement of city staff or city to do the same, to add that into the.	01:35:51
	List. So you has representatives agreed to it, but I'm saying it was has not went back to each.	01:35:59
	It's now to the council to decide and I don't know about that proposal. I will just note that we actually had proposed an economic	01:36:06
	development project 1st and it was not supported at the meeting. So, so I have not heard that that's, you know, being explored	01:36:12
	again so.	01:36:18
	I'm a the.	01:36:24
	I think the process, having 2 council members that are in two commissioners there, I think that's a flawed process because.	01:36:28
	Because we don't.	01:36:37
	I mean there it's just wrought with brown act possible problems. But you know, how do we.	01:36:39
	How do we discuss something that's already been discussed, but then we can't agree with what's been discussed? I mean, shouldn't	01:36:48
	we?	01:36:51
	Get something in writing. I mean, I'm just confused.	01:36:55
	If you don't mind. So I hear you, Councilmember Gama, but I don't think that I could say at this point that having two city	01:36:59
	representatives and having two commissioners on the committee that that is doomed for failure. Well, I can't communicate to to any	01:37:06
	of our representatives unless we have a meeting like this. I understand what you're saying, but what I'm saying is that I think	01:37:12
	anytime you try to move through through.	01:37:19
	With trying to.	01:37:26
	I'm trying not to say process because we don't have a process.	01:37:29
	And I think that's the problem. It's not the problem with the committee is the problem that there is no process. So we find	01:37:32
	ourselves going back and forth.	01:37:36
	So luckily we're going to have a process and we're not going to be doing that in the past, I mean in the future. So, so I think	01:37:41
	we're doing what we're doing now and I think we've always done this right because we have not had a process.	01:37:47
	So I think we're in a good place and that we're going to be talking about that tonight. But in the meantime, I will say in the	01:37:53
	last.	01:37:57
	In the last city port meeting, I'm not going to take the.	01:38:01
	Under former mayor, but we did ask the question, are all the other items are you in agreement with and they said yes. So we're	01:38:04
	really talking about the 33.	01:38:09
	$33,000 right. But as we go down the list, there's improvements we can make a.	01:38:15
	And for example, cats, a cradle, you know, we funded them several years ago with the.	01:38:23
	Anticipation that they were going to be working on the cats at the port and find out that that's not happening. So it's improved.	01:38:30
	Well, hold on, Why would we continue to to support something that when they're not even addressing the the cat population?	01:38:39
	Recommending.	01:38:49
	They still show up. We had provided a list of all prior allocations and that was on there from before. Yeah, the list was very	01:38:52
	difficult for me to interpret. I'm looking for a list.	01:38:57
	Well, they had it up on the on the screen, but it was difficult to see what was approved and what is still to be done.	01:39:03
	It is right here, page two of five on your staff report. It's on your screen now too. It just took us. There you go. Thank you.	01:39:09
	So these are the ones that have been agreed to.	01:39:17
	And so we brought those also to these have already come back to the council once and gone back to the joint committee. It's really	01:39:20
	the $30,000 that hasn't been decided yet. So do we have two?	01:39:26
	Things to do tonight, approve this and then discuss the 33. Is that our mission tonight? Yeah, that would be the mission. And then	01:39:34
	that would allow us to go back to the Joint Port committee at the next joint meeting and tell them we have an approved list and	01:39:41
	see if they have an approved list and and then go from there so.	01:39:47
	Yes, OK.	01:39:54
	So I'd like to make a motion that we approve the proposed project list as it stands.	01:39:57
	On the screen.	01:40:04
	Do we have a second?	01:40:06
	I will second that motion, Madam Clerk.	01:40:08
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	01:40:12
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:40:15
	So the next step we should do is talk about what we want to do with the remainder of the 30,000.	01:40:19
	I have a question on the the mental health. I don't remember discussing mental health, but if it's had to do with the health and	01:40:26
	Wellness there, then yeah, I do recall us discussing that. So one of the issues I have with some of the projects and, and the	01:40:33
	process, because we we have a process, it's that it that hasn't been working well is that projects get placed on the list without	01:40:41
	much thought on how they're going to be implemented so.	01:40:48
	Like to know how what?	01:40:56
	This health and Wellness item is about and, and how we expect it will be implemented. So for the mental health portion of that is	01:40:57
	completely separate from the health and Wellness. That was a suggestion by President Selena Zacharias to come up with an agency or	01:41:05
	a local nonprofit or some some sort of project for mental health. Since none was allocated, we decided.	01:41:13
	Not to move forward with that since there hasn't been any.	01:41:22
	Names being given or any local nonprofits that we could put that forth. So there's two items then well under this category, mental	01:41:25
	health, it's the health and Wellness fair and then a nonprofit's.	01:41:31
	That was yes, that was the suggestion by.	01:41:39
	OK.	01:41:42
	I see an item that says annual health and Wellness fair Run for your Heart 5K that that's being funded. So there's another	01:41:44
	category under mental health that's not on this list. So this is the list of items that are ready to be approved.	01:41:52
	And then separately when we met with the port, we talked about two other categories for the remaining $30,000 and one of those	01:42:01
	categories is mental health. And does anybody have any support requested was mental health and so.	01:42:07
	We had said we didn't have any specific suggestions. So when we talked about it as staff, we said if we allocated some more money	01:42:14
	towards the health and Wellness fair, then we can bring in some resources focused on mental health. So that's one option that	01:42:22
	we've identified. But you know, it's, it's totally the council's option. And if the council says that's not something interesting,	01:42:29
	I would suggest that I think that's perfect. We have a health, an annual health and Wellness fair and you know the.	01:42:37
	Body is physical health and mental health, so I think it's a perfect venue for additional dollars.	01:42:44
	To have a mental health section in our annual health and Wellness fair. So then yes, so the specifically speaking when that was	01:42:51
	brought up, that wasn't specified, but it's optional. So that was just a suggestion. We can always add that.	01:43:00
	Address the goal that the port had, you know, trying to trying to be collaborative. I have a question regarding previous funding	01:43:11
	which might affect my.	01:43:16
	Vote on this is what happened to, I know that we were short with on the mural funding and you were looking for additional funding	01:43:22
	so that we met that $50,000 amount. Are we able to find that? So it's not that we're short, it's that originally the 50,000, it	01:43:30
	was thought that that would be enough to do essentially 3 murals. And the reality is it's not enough to do 3 murals so that we	01:43:37
	have the $50,000 funded, but that's not going to be.	01:43:44
	Funding to do 33 murals so wait wait wait wait so the the mural that we're doing for the library was 30,000 and other costs that	01:43:52
	that that weren't planned for and budgeted for things like site prep work the OK so the so the additional 20,000 that's there is	01:44:02
	going to go for funding the maintenance and the site prep of the mural because even just.	01:44:12
	Like people maybe wouldn't think of, but if somebody graffitis that mural, we're gonna have to potentially have the artist come	01:44:22
	back and fix that mural. So we there's these costs potentially, but we hadn't there was no plan to. OK. So does that include	01:44:29
	removing doing landscaping to to prepare potentially because that was never brought to the committee. So that's why I'm asking,	01:44:37
	Right. This is the first time hearing of it. Yeah. And so I think I sent an e-mail to the committee on it a couple months back.	01:44:44
	Yeah. And so, so we're going to bring the mural back at the next council meeting and that's going to be something we identify as	01:44:53
	staff is just a reminder because there were a lot of promises made with that mural that somebody has to pay for. And so we're	01:44:59
	going to come back to council and say, you know, how do you want to pay for for some of those things. I think there were not,	01:45:06
	there were not promises. There was just things that we did not include in the in the proposal. Yeah, OK.	01:45:12
	So my next comment then, I'm fine with the mental health plan. I understand that has to be detailed out, but the public safety	01:45:19
	providing funding for the city's canine unit. I know that there was a presentation before the Commission asking for a canine unit.	01:45:28
	I did know that the idea come from the commissioner, but we have AK 9 unit now, so.	01:45:36
	Yes, when the Council approved the K9 unit, we noted at that time that.	01:45:46
	That we did not have, there wasn't specific funding in our budget for a canine office, for a canine unit. So we noted at that time	01:45:52
	that we had a couple of opportunities to pursue such as the community benefit fund or grant funding. But in the meantime, we had	01:45:58
	some vacancy savings we could use to to sort of be able to cover the costs. But the hope is that if we get the funding that we'd	01:46:04
	be able to.	01:46:10
	Put that that vacancy savings back into effect to be able to have it for for other needs that we have. So, so we identified it	01:46:16
	when we identified the canine officer program. So the council approved in that item the canine program and authorized staff to go	01:46:24
	out and sort of look explore those funding opportunities. So, so it came up at the joint port meeting.	01:46:33
	I think that there would seem to be support with the idea of one of the goals. The other thing was the council this year adopted	01:46:41
	the goals. That said one of the goals was for the city and the port.	01:46:46
	That was a mutual goal, was our focus on security and hardening the the port and our community. And so we identified it with the	01:46:51
	joint committee as a potential way to do both of those things. So, so that was discussed at that point and it's a possibility, but	01:46:58
	it's ultimately up to the council, so.	01:47:06
	If I could just add, you know, having worked with grants for many, many years and I know this is not a grant, but there is	01:47:14
	something called supplemental, which is a big no, no. When you've already got money in your budget and you bring in grant money to	01:47:21
	a supplement, you know what you're trying to do, supplement your salary savings and return it to the to the general fund.	01:47:27
	Umm, I would be more in favor since we already have the canine unit and apparently it's been paid for that we look at something	01:47:36
	other than.	01:47:40
	Other than canine unit and maybe look at a more an emergency preparedness program of some sort.	01:47:48
	For for that extra money.	01:47:54
	Or I would actually.	01:47:58
	You know what, I take that back. I would I would like to see us support the concept of doing something with our economic	01:48:00
	development plan and implementing the economic development plan so that we can have a real discussion around the Market Street.	01:48:07
	Location.	01:48:15
	Do we have a support for that recommendation?	01:48:18
	We've been, yeah, we've been sitting on that.	01:48:23
	You know that the Market Street issue, since I've been on council, I think we've haven't been able to find our way.	01:48:26
	Through a solution on how we want to use that, I think if we bring somebody in to facilitate that discussion.	01:48:34
	That we could really come to a good decision on how we we want to both agree on that location.	01:48:41
	Yeah, so.	01:48:49
	So I I would agree with that. My only concern is I don't know how far $30,000.	01:48:52
	Will get us in looking at a development plan and next steps for that I just.	01:49:00
	Don't think that it's enough. I love the idea. I just don't think that it's enough to get us there. And I would be a little	01:49:07
	concerned about getting started and then not making it all the way. And then we're we're started at now less $30,000.	01:49:13
	Well, I think one way we could do it is bring back the consultants who did the economic development plan and and pay them an	01:49:21
	additional $30,000 to walk us through that discussion since they're already familiar with with the issues.	01:49:28
	I don't think that's a good use of this money. I mean, if we wanted.	01:49:36
	Dive deeper into community development. We should do so.	01:49:41
	On our own dime.	01:49:45
	Using the community benefit fund, if we look at our past practice, we've supported a community based. Just look at the list. We	01:49:48
	all know the benefit of this. You know at the higher. I don't like the joint advocacy trip to Washington.	01:49:56
	I don't know.	01:50:05
	I don't know how beneficial that is to both of us. I think it's more beneficial to the port because they have way better, they	01:50:06
	have a lot of grant monies coming in and and they do a really good job at that, but.	01:50:13
	I think we I would like to see us look deeper into our community and to fill some needs that are real, that are going to benefit	01:50:21
	people in our community. We mentioned mental health. There are some mental health.	01:50:28
	Opportunities out there, there's people doing great things in the area of mental health and we certainly should try to bring	01:50:35
	services to the community members that need them here in our community I.	01:50:41
	So I'm looking for more measurable outcomes where we could say like I'm going to learn to swim program, very measurable.	01:50:48
	We could get the data that says we've taught X amount of kids how to swim over the last several years.	01:50:57
	Real guppy, very measurable that we could see their activities. We see the benefit of it.	01:51:04
	So.	01:51:10
	That's where I'm leaning towards. I want to look for outcome based expenditures that.	01:51:11
	We can measure.	01:51:18
	Councilmember Martinez.	01:51:19
	Are we are, I'm just curious, are we discussing, are we asking questions right now or because discussing options? So 30,000 I	01:51:23
	think the canine is a great idea and I think it was a suggestion from from city staff and everybody. The dog that we saw here	01:51:30
	today, I think everybody loved the dog and I think it'd be great and for us to say, hey, the port got us another dog, one that's	01:51:36
	specific to I think.	01:51:43
	This canine would be different than the other canine, right? So we would we would have two different types of canines and I think	01:51:50
	it'd be a win for both of both the city and the port. So I'd support.	01:51:55
	City recommendation for the canine and the mental health, the additional $2500 for mental health. So that that's my opinion. Just	01:52:01
	just so you know, I would make a motion, but I think we still need to hear public comments. I just can't support another.	01:52:07
	Canine and we haven't seen the benefits of this first one and and we haven't established a need.	01:52:13
	What's, you know, we really haven't established a need and we have a need, you know, to implement our economic development plan	01:52:19
	and I think.	01:52:23
	I would point out that at one time prior we had five canines and they were very much used for community.	01:52:29
	That's not why the canine program was discontinued. I would like to point out that firearms are a big problem in our community and	01:52:37
	having that ability to sniff out a gun when you pull over somebody is unbelievably beneficial.	01:52:45
	Unfortunately, you know, that's the society we have, I mean.	01:52:56
	Kids are killing kids. I remember the first day of school last year when Amy High School kid was gunned down in Bubbling Springs	01:53:00
	Park.	01:53:03
	I believe Giorgio is an ammunition and bomb sniffing dog and the next canine would be narcotics based.	01:53:07
	And so you know to say that.	01:53:16
	Well, that's even a concern for me now that we, you know how the cannabis businesses are going to be, feel about that. It's kind	01:53:19
	of, you know what we're doing with the cannabis business.	01:53:24
	So I think we have to spend some more time discussing that. I would like to add that we have a port we have.	01:53:29
	Thousands of truckloads coming through that port. I see the US Customs out there every now and doing their little sting operation.	01:53:37
	Is it enough to stop illegal trafficking of ******** drugs? I don't know. I don't think it is.	01:53:44
	We don't know what.	01:53:52
	I trust our police chief to tell us what the need is. So I would say at this point, if I can just add at one point and then maybe	01:53:53
	it would be good to maybe have the chief speak a little bit because I think there's a couple things going on and there's what	01:53:59
	we're doing right now. And then there's maybe like the vision for download the line. But I think with the what we're doing right	01:54:05
	now, we've implemented the canine program, but we've done it with a shoestring budget and we've done it by retrofitting old	01:54:11
	equipment and making use of what we have.	01:54:17
	And that's how we did it for no money essentially. And so if we were able to get some funding, we'd be able to do things like get	01:54:23
	better equipment for for them. I think that the long term vision, there probably is a long term plan of, of trying to identify	01:54:29
	more resources. But right now it's really implementing this the canine officer, which we've done a good job of with the budget we	01:54:35
	had, but it wasn't very much. And I'm going to hand it over to the chief, but I'm going to make one point that I have heard from	01:54:41
	multiple.	01:54:47
	Police agencies that I think is really something that I hadn't thought about until I, we really started to talk about it. And it	01:54:53
	was, you know, the idea that if you have somebody with a gun out at the beach, for example, and the police show up to respond and	01:54:59
	they toss their gun, that we could have our, all of our officers in the city pulled to the beach, combing the beach looking for a	01:55:05
	gun and spending hours and hours and hours. Or we could have the dog come out. Don't interrupt, please, city manager, or you can	01:55:11
	have the dog come out.	01:55:17
	Find it in 45 minutes or an hour. And I think for that, it's really just a reminder to everybody, which should be when we talked	01:55:23
	about mutually beneficial projects for the city and the port to be able to make our resources work better and more efficiently. So	01:55:30
	with that, I'll ask the Chief to just add to that.	01:55:36
	Before.	01:55:44
	Giorgio and Officer Magana got out of training last week. They were utilized second to last day to come out for the armed robbery	01:55:46
	that happened on the beach because the gun wasn't found in the suspect vehicle.	01:55:53
	We believed it was taken by a third, possibly 1/3 suspect. I want to get details on the open investigation. However, instead of	01:56:00
	tying up everybody to go search a path, we were able to call out Giorgio to quickly walk to confirm what we believed.	01:56:06
	There's been two incidents in the last 24 hours in our city involving firearms. Somebody pulled a gun on somebody and pointed at	01:56:13
	them. We now have those guns and that person is going to be in custody shortly. And we had a shooting. We've had a few shootings,	01:56:20
	if you haven't noticed, on our residential streets. We had another one last night. All this in 24 hours.	01:56:27
	When we presented the canines, I talked to you about 60 something guns being booked into our property and evidence in one year.	01:56:35
	And how many of those, more than half, were taken from investigations like this?	01:56:42
	And acts of violence.	01:56:47
	I'm surprised that I'm explaining the progress of a canine unit for a department whose history is vetted in being the 1st in the	01:56:51
	county with canines in the early 70s. We're one of the first in the state, and we helped other agencies get theirs. And we had	01:56:57
	long decades and success stories of the canines in this department doing great work, not only in our community but in neighboring	01:57:03
	cities. And then they went away while I was gone.	01:57:09
	And it's my goal to bring them back.	01:57:15
	You need 2 canines to have a canine program.	01:57:18
	A police dog can only smell for either.	01:57:22
	Firearms, explosives and bombs or narcotics if we want. You want me to get into the the explanation on why we need a narcotics	01:57:25
	dog?	01:57:29
	Do we not understand the threat of fentanyl on our streets? Do we not understand I just had a 25 year old man in custody right now	01:57:35
	that we just took off the streets after a crime?	01:57:40
	And he admitted to his drug use problems.	01:57:47
	And if you heard the sirens while we were having counsel?	01:57:49
	And we close the doors because all that was a fire truck and ambulance coming to get him out of my jail because he's having a drug	01:57:54
	reaction.	01:57:57
	The drugs on our streets are real, folks. Our officers and paramedics in the city are using Narcan to save people's lives right	01:58:01
	now on the streets.	01:58:06
	Dope dogs are needed.	01:58:11
	Get there and have the puppy go look for him. It's my kids with autism in this community that walk away in the middle of the	01:58:43
	night.	01:58:46
	And everybody's rushing in to go find them. Where did they go? Especially before they get to a body of water.	01:58:50
	The dog, we can give him a blanket, get some tracking smell and get him going to find that kid. These are non apprehension dogs.	01:58:55
	He's going to go sniff, sniff sniff and find this person.	01:59:00
	There's a lot of purposes for canines, a lot, and it's part of the agenda to secure our port. I'm working very hard at getting our	01:59:05
	working to get our port.	01:59:10
	The most secure it can be.	01:59:16
	And using canines for that is 1.	01:59:18
	Also our base, we also have a body of water with the port that shares it with the base. So the harder we can make all these	01:59:21
	targets to add and enhance all the security that's there.	01:59:26
	The safer we can make it.	01:59:32
	So I just want to thank you, Chief for that and I really do appreciate that.	01:59:35
	You know, for the last.	01:59:41
	Four months, maybe three months, we've been hearing that we need to tighten our belt. You know that we're, you know, our budget	01:59:44
	is, is.	01:59:47
	We're operating really close to going into the red and we need to be really careful how we spend money.	01:59:52
	And when I heard you asked for the motor unit, I asked, is this it? You know, is this all you're going to come back and ask us	01:59:58
	for? And then I hear you on a second motor unit when you ask for the canine.	02:00:04
	I asked, is this it? I'm thinking, is this it? Now we're hearing a second dog is needed. So I, I just have a problem with what is	02:00:11
	it going to be? When is it going to stop? You know, when, what is the actual need? Is it 2 dogs? Is it three dogs? Is it 5 dogs? I	02:00:17
	mean, I just, you know, here we are trying to be good stewards of the city's coffers, but I want to know that there's a real plan	02:00:24
	in place and that this is, we're not just doing things.	02:00:30
	In piece meal and I want to know that the port is actually.	02:00:37
	Asking us for assistance with dog sniffing, bomb sniffing dogs. I want to know that the that the Navy base really has the need.	02:00:41
	I've heard you say that, but I want to see what that need is. I want to see that justification. So Council.	02:00:49
	City Manager, can you confirm you've seen letters from DoD police on the base, the federal agents that work in the port?	02:00:58
	For what my vision is, I haven't seen that. There would be no need for us to see them. Yeah, exactly. They're operational. He he's	02:01:04
	my boss.	02:01:09
	So he part of this vision is his explaining. I also heard that it was a board commissioner from the port that was asking for the	02:01:14
	canines correct very healthy conversations over.	02:01:19
	Or the use of canines with the port. And it was a board commissioner, correct. Suggested we spend a board commissioner for the	02:01:26
	harbor, our awesome harbor President. Can I just thank the president of the port for being here and leaving early? Yeah, See you.	02:01:32
	I think it was really nice to have her here. Bye. Bye.	02:01:39
	Thank you.	02:01:46
	And.	02:01:48
	It's and yes, the the the actually the base is more interested in.	02:01:50
	You know us having a dope dog.	02:01:56
	In addition to the bomb dogs, because they're fentanyl, we're fentanyl for not for cannabis, but other drugs. Yes, we had heroin	02:01:59
	out there. We got methamphetamine.	02:02:03
	I am tired of hearing Council Member Hernandez give you a hard time, so I would ask you to lighten up. Everything I've heard makes	02:02:12
	sense.	02:02:18
	There's no, there's no smoke and mirrors going on here. I just want to make one to to your point of spending. Can I, can we say	02:02:26
	that your chief who owned a business and has been part of school for 30 years was successful at.	02:02:32
	Accomplishing these things but still being under budget by the end of the year, that was the thing I wanted to address. The	02:02:41
	strategy that I used to get these things and keep this department's foot on the gas pedal, keeping the city safe has been very,	02:02:48
	very budget strategic. Yeah, one of the one of the challenges both the chief and I inherited is, is trying to make these	02:02:55
	improvements with, while reducing our budgets just frankly. So yes, we have tightened our belts and yes, we have reduced spending.	02:03:03
	And I look at that as an opportunity to get something that's needed for the community. So that's why we've recommended so. So like	02:03:39
	the murals, you know, there were things that we didn't perhaps include in there in terms of long term maintenance. And we're	02:03:47
	looking to the general to the community benefit fund. I see the same issue here with the dogs in the motor units that there are	02:03:54
	long term maintenance issues and retention issues that we're going to have. Can we make sure that we're addressing those? Yes.	02:04:02
	$5000 I was advocating to try and get the cost down.	02:04:40
	So that we could demonstrate to our so that Council Member Gama is speaking please. So that we could demonstrate to our community	02:04:44
	how to wisely spend funds. So on the one hand, my opinion, my opinion only, chief and city manager have done an excellent job in	02:04:51
	showing us how to do more with less.	02:04:58
	Thank you.	02:05:06
	Secondly, please do not instruct me on my job. Secondly.	02:05:13
	We need to treat all these expenditures as the most important decisions we're making because a mural never took a gun off the	02:05:18
	street. A mural never saved a life.	02:05:26
	And so the things that we're talking about tonight and that the chief has done very well is life safety for our community. And	02:05:36
	it's heartbreaking when it.	02:05:41
	Teenager freshman student gets murdered on the corner of Bard and Park Ave. after school on the first day of school last year. So	02:05:46
	anything we could do to protect the the lives of our community through the Police Department is money well spent. And I think	02:05:53
	you're doing an excellent job. And sometimes there's noise and we just have to ignore it. Council Member Martinez, did you have?	02:06:01
	Yeah, I just wanted to chime in. This reminds me a lot of last year's budget meeting when I was advocating for $10,000 of bonfire.	02:06:08
	On the beach and it took like 30 minutes of convincing just for everybody to vote yes you know 50 and then I've been hearing a lot	02:06:16
	of people just super super thrilled about the bonfire pits. I'd like to just move on here public comments and then make our motion	02:06:22
	and vote if that's OK if I could say one word because I've been the subject of you know public attacks here personally and and I	02:06:28
	just want to say that I'm not anti public safety and I.	02:06:35
	Mayor that is inappropriate. Let's OK so I am not anti Federico, I am not anti chief. I am not anti police. I am not anti law	02:06:46
	enforcement. I have been pro law enforcement ever since I've been on the City Council. But I am concerned about the process on	02:06:53
	which we're approving these projects and the hidden costs that come with these these approvals. So that's all this is about OK you	02:07:01
	know so the other things if you guys want to personalize it that's.	02:07:08
	But it's very inappropriate, I think, for you to do that.	02:07:16
	Yes, Chief.	02:07:19
	My vision didn't just come from over 30 years in law enforcement and being part of this community for over 30 years. My vision	02:07:22
	came from even before I came back as chief. I've listened to this community. Why do you think we have motors? Why do you think	02:07:27
	motors was what I worked on in the 1st 2 weeks?	02:07:32
	They were asking for it.	02:07:38
	I specialize somebody in graffiti because they were asking for it, which we're doing now. Do you see the graffiti arrests on	02:07:40
	social media? It's crazy.	02:07:43
	It's what they asked for. I listen.	02:07:48
	And I brought them the void that we were missing in the city in a couple of areas, and the canines is 1 and they're coming.	02:07:50
	Thank you.	02:07:57
	Mayor Pro Tem.	02:07:58
	Thank you, chief. So I may be out of line, but I'm just going to kind of say this and see, see where it falls. So, so yeah, the	02:08:01
	the canine came up.	02:08:06
	From the port with their suggestion.	02:08:13
	In a meeting that we all were at.	02:08:17
	The presentation for the scholarships, that was.	02:08:21
	During the board meeting, everyone left, we remained and that.	02:08:25
	That's where the conversation has.	02:08:29
	And so the current which they voted on request was to use the remaining 3033 thousand. So I think that's less this newly proposed	02:08:32
	recreational scholarship thing. So they they were saying 33,000 and it came up from 1 of the commissioners and they took a vote	02:08:40
	and the vote was yes.	02:08:48
	The Commissioner is to come back with a more clarified.	02:08:56
	Area that.	02:09:01
	She suggests that.	02:09:03
	The economic development.	02:09:06
	Team someone be hired to look at that. So this is I say all that to get to this. OK, so being that the Port initially brought up	02:09:09
	the idea of the canine and now the Port is talking about something else.	02:09:16
	I suggest possibly to take a vote if there, if there isn't anything else right, because ultimately we have to come into agreement	02:09:25
	with the port.	02:09:30
	Yeah.	02:09:36
	In order for this money to be.	02:09:38
	Benefit Fund.	02:09:41
	If we don't agree, there's a process to deal with those fronts, OK.	02:09:45
	So what I'm trying to what I'm trying to get at is.	02:09:51
	Let's possibly take a vote on a primary, primary and an alternate, unless there needs to be additional discussion as to what 1/3	02:09:55
	option might be.	02:10:00
	So that when the mayor and I sit in those meetings, if we get, I mean.	02:10:05
	You get. You're shaking your head. I am. I am.	02:10:12
	Ultimately, it's an agreement.	02:10:16
	I'll tell you why I'm shaking my head. Mayor Pro Tem, I'm sorry. Can you? Ultimately, it's an agreement.	02:10:18
	That's the process ultimate agreement. So if if we are stuck and I'm not, this is not meant to be negative, right? Right. But if	02:10:25
	we are stuck on just one item and it must be the canine and the port says no, then now we're coming back. But that's not the	02:10:31
	scenario. We need to have order here. So let her finish.	02:10:37
	Is the scenario.	02:10:43
	What am I missing? I think.	02:10:45
	I completely understand what mayor Pro Tem saying and I think the gist of it and I was actually going to give this reminder	02:10:48
	earlier and we got off topic, but the.	02:10:52
	If the port, I think where we maybe got off topic was a comment about the port has already had their meeting and they voted on	02:10:57
	what they want to do. Well, that's fine. The purpose of tonight is for the council to vote on what they want to do and then give	02:11:03
	that direction to the joint committee. And then, and then I think the comment about probably giving direction about what we, if we	02:11:09
	would support one or both or neither or you know, whatever it is, but give direction to the committee to then go work with the	02:11:15
	port, in other words.	02:11:21
	It's not a question of, but it does the Council agree with what the ports proposal is Because we haven't gotten that proposal yet,	02:11:28
	But here's what it feels like.	02:11:32
	Do this appropriately and raise your hand to ask to speak, please.	02:11:38
	Thank you. You may speak.	02:11:43
	Here's what it feels like to me.	02:11:45
	The port has as long as I've been on council, as long as council Member Hernandez has been on council, the port has been trying to	02:11:47
	acquire that property.	02:11:52
	And.	02:11:57
	We haven't agreed to that.	02:11:59
	So now they're suggesting, now they're suggesting that we use Community Benefit Fund to bring in an economic developer.	02:12:02
	To help them convince us that this is our only. I don't know, I just don't like it. I think our time is better spent on life,	02:12:12
	safety, community benefits, things that we know that work.	02:12:18
	And I think the canine is a really good example of that. And I also think that.	02:12:26
	You know, truck safety, the other things that we're doing, I mean, there's a lot of impacts.	02:12:33
	That come from the port um.	02:12:39
	You know, I was thinking the other day.	02:12:43
	We're operating on 1981 agreements and that first agreement was when the port decided to bring cars here and they needed the city	02:12:47
	to support and they and they gave us an agreement. So much has changed since then in terms of what they're bringing in, what	02:12:53
	they're shipping out, multi axle, 46 axle trucks going out and all we get is $3 for a car. Let's keep on topic, Council Member	02:12:59
	Martinez.	02:13:05
	It's no secret that me being a educator, I'm, I'm big on art and I'm big on scholarships. So if there was anything else I, I want,	02:13:12
	I would want to put it on the art and, and on the murals and, and, and scholarships. But seeing there's an opportunity right now	02:13:18
	to, to benefit the city and I, I think also make the port look good and say, hey, like this is almost like this is the dog that	02:13:24
	the port got us.	02:13:31
	I I 100% support the the recommendations by our city staff.	02:13:38
	I just have a question and it does have to do with the canines. But first, I want to say that we have not made a decision on	02:13:44
	Market Street. We need that. We neither agreed or disagreed. So I just want our public to understand that. Second, I noticed on	02:13:50
	our disbursement list that there's a.	02:13:55
	Cost here for it looks like the canine program from Inglis Imports Incorporated of 16,670 was that for the dog?	02:14:02
	Correct. Yes, we saved money. It wasn't 25,000.	02:14:13
	And four and 4000 for training.	02:14:18
	Dollars or.	02:14:21
	For for the purchase of a canine. And so it turned out to be 16670. That's great. So how much do you expect a second canine would	02:14:22
	cost?	02:14:27
	We would try to get the same great deal on a very quality dog and then we would take the rest of the money strategically like we	02:14:33
	did on this one and outfit a current vehicle so we didn't have to purchase a new one.	02:14:39
	We asked these questions. We don't know that you're being strategic in your spending or that you know that you saved money in the	02:14:48
	purchase of it. So, so that's great. OK, I'm, I'm fine with it. Thank you.	02:14:53
	So I have a comment regarding the poor. I wasn't there, so I did not. I wasn't Privy to the ports voting for economic development.	02:14:59
	Regarding Market Street, I I think that question is still up in the air and we need to have some additional meetings with our city	02:15:05
	attorney to discuss that before I would even agree to allocate money towards that. I support what it says right here for public	02:15:11
	safety.	02:15:17
	And I think.	02:15:23
	That we take these discussions to the port and we're going to have a meeting and find out what they wanted to do and see what we	02:15:26
	can come up with. That's the only thing we can do is is agree on a course of action for this council to go back to the Port city	02:15:32
	committee meeting and discuss the next steps on that.	02:15:38
	But wouldn't it be?	02:15:44
	Fairer if we voted on priorities to take to the point, that's what we have to do. We're going to vote on a course of action	02:15:46
	tonight as to what to recommend to the city board meeting.	02:15:52
	That that was, that was what we were trying to say. That's what we need to do. We need to have a course of action. So then is	02:16:01
	there, so do we have a, do we have a motion to approve a course of action right now? Can I add just one thing because I think it's	02:16:06
	important is the.	02:16:11
	The request is.	02:16:18
	We don't know what the request is so I don't want to comment too much but.	02:16:20
	From what I understand, the request to have the port hire a economic development person to tell us how to use the Market Street	02:16:24
	property is a very strange request. That's not what they said.	02:16:30
	And, and I'm just going to say the, the, the first question we should ask ourselves about the Market Street property is what is	02:16:36
	the City Council want to do with it? We haven't answered that. So, so to me, it's like the carts before the horse there. And you	02:16:41
	know, just similarly, you know, and we aren't proposing this, but it'd be the same as saying why, why doesn't the port hire	02:16:46
	somebody to write their 10 year strategic plan?	02:16:51
	We wouldn't do that because we're not going to tell the port how to operate their business. So similarly, that's a strange request	02:16:57
	I don't quite understand. That's really inaccurate. So I think that's really unfair for you. Well, any discussion about our Market	02:17:03
	Street property needs to start here. You need to start with the council. So I think for us, and we need to be that, I think the	02:17:09
	point, the conversation right now needs to be educating everybody on where we're at and what we're doing before we leap to hiring	02:17:15
	a consultant.	02:17:21
	Correct. The important never even said they would be in the room for this discussion. So I would be very careful about jumping to	02:17:27
	conclusions and making assumptions. It's really unfair. Does it go well for partnering with some of one of our important most	02:17:33
	important stakeholders? OK, to sum it up, even any discussion about Market Street regarding the community benefit fund is	02:17:39
	premature because we do not know what we're doing or what what ideas we want to have for Market Street property. So let's table	02:17:45
	that, that is.	02:17:51
	Not something we're going to propose here. So let's get to what we are going to propose.	02:17:57
	So we're looking to spend $33,000 and I would like to make a point to that.	02:18:03
	With the mural project.	02:18:10
	You know it's 35,000 and we didn't budget for the upkeep, you know right?	02:18:13
	So, so now probably would be a really good time to make some kind of estimate as to OK, well what's that going to cost to work?	02:18:20
	So we're planning to recommend at the next meeting that we use the additional $15,000 that was allocated towards the maintenance.	02:18:30
	Is that in this agenda? No, it'll be in the next. So then do we want to have a suggestion about that? Can we do that now?	02:18:36
	I mean, you could add it to this list if you chose to. I think we are saying we had a plan where it wouldn't be added to this list	02:18:45
	and that's what we're proceeding based off.	02:18:51
	And partially because it wasn't on any of the list. So do we have? Where can we go from here?	02:18:56
	Back to what Martha was saying. So looking at what's currently on the.	02:19:03
	List here. It looks like there's a balance of $30,000 and how much? What it says 2727 thousand? How much would be for a canine?	02:19:09
	27,527 thousand 500.	02:19:21
	Another 5000. Is that a 5000?	02:19:25
	Leftover No, no, no 27,500 towards that, 2500 towards the health and Wellness fair and then 3000 for the rec program scholarships,	02:19:29
	which I I will just note, I believe this is correct and you mayor and mayor Pro Tem can tell me if it's not. I think that was also	02:19:34
	a request by the port. Yes, it was.	02:19:40
	It was actually a public comment request from a community member and they support.	02:19:47
	I'm just going to make one more comment and then I I have a motion. And so I just want to say something about the conversation	02:19:54
	about Market Street and the port.	02:19:59
	I just want to bring everyone's attention to items one through 4 and either organization can look at these items and say let's	02:20:05
	look at this. So it's not because it's Market Street doesn't mean that we're the only ones that can say.	02:20:13
	Let's Oh yeah, community develop because there is a community development line that's available to both sides.	02:20:21
	And so I don't. I just don't want to.	02:20:28
	Leave it with.	02:20:32
	They picked that item because they because I want to be and I think we want to be a good part of.	02:20:34
	And make sure that we're doing the.	02:20:39
	Thing here. So I'd like to move that we take the recommendations of staff.	02:20:41
	As identified in the report.	02:20:47
	Do we have a second mayor? I believe we had already called for public comment, but we did receive a late 1. I don't know if you	02:20:49
	want to.	02:20:52
	Call it back, that's fine.	02:20:56
	Rich.	02:21:00
	Good evening again, Council.	02:21:08
	I'm speaking as a resident.	02:21:12
	My.	02:21:15
	My vision at the beginning for our Community Benefit Fund is, as it stated, to benefit the community.	02:21:17
	To me.	02:21:26
	Everybody that I talked to, one of the primary concerns that they have is on public safety I.	02:21:27
	One of my sons lives in a neighborhood where, over the summer, he's heard at least three or four gunshots.	02:21:35
	And so if there's any kind of a way that.	02:21:44
	Our public safety can prevent the possible use of guns.	02:21:50
	Through a dog and I'm not.	02:21:55
	Privy to the expertise on that, but from what I've heard tonight, dogs can do that and so.	02:21:57
	I think it's probably paramount that we look to putting some money towards public safety for these dogs. So that's .1. The other	02:22:04
	point that was talked up is that we wanted to do something for mental health.	02:22:12
	And a lot of the agencies that we've benefited in the past are nonprofit agencies that don't have a lot of money. And they in this	02:22:20
	little bit of $100,000 per year can go a long thing, a long way to things like the Explorers, the Guppies, all of those types of	02:22:27
	things. One of the programs that I've gotten to know more of that I think would benefit our community and our youth, there's a	02:22:34
	program.	02:22:41
	Called Jake's Place.	02:22:49
	Some of you may be aware of that and it's to deal with at risk kids that have deal with a lot of the different social pressures	02:22:51
	they've been in many cases have been suicidal. I've gotten an opportunity to go and visit that program and they provide peer	02:22:59
	counseling, they provide art, all of the types of things that we're talking about tonight and.	02:23:07
	I would just like the Council to consider perhaps taking.	02:23:16
	I'll just $5000. Obviously they could probably use 20 or 30,000. But like if we're going to spread out the wealth, I think that	02:23:21
	would be an excellent program. It's dealing with our local youth, our local at risk kids that hopefully will become leaders. Like	02:23:29
	we, we talked about Kevin Brandon and how he maybe had a rough pass, but like he's seen the way why not? Let's get it at the root	02:23:36
	and get these kids like on the straight and narrow.	02:23:43
	So my proposal would be to like perhaps the the Council, when they're making that present the presentation, to consider something	02:23:51
	like Jake's place.	02:23:56
	That's it.	02:24:02
	I would like to make a motion to include Jake's.	02:24:03
	Nates Place yes made mention of a motion first, did you?	02:24:08
	Thank you for reminding me of Nate's place, Richard.	02:24:13
	Can I can I say something to maybe be the bad guy in the room, which is the next time we're going to talk about on the agenda is	02:24:20
	talking about creating a process and to really be methodical and, and into how we do it. And so, you know, I love you Rich, but	02:24:25
	right when we're about to vote to then have a new group added in that we I don't even think we know the name of because I think	02:24:31
	it's Nate's place.	02:24:37
	Yeah. So I think it's my suggestion would be on the next item we're going to talk about.	02:24:44
	An application process next year and one thing we can definitely do next year is get them an application so that we can vet them	02:24:49
	properly. I just think at this point it's we're late into the process to.	02:24:54
	Late into the process, but we said there's $33,000. We're looking for ideas and.	02:25:01
	Well, we still have that mental health.	02:25:08
	So the motion includes as stated, which is the public safety portion. Mental health was included in that, correct. I'll restate my	02:25:11
	motion. I move to approve the recommendation of staff.	02:25:15
	Which included mental health.	02:25:21
	And we can figure we'll put some thought into how we do the mental health. OK, so we have a second.	02:25:23
	Do I have? Sorry.	02:25:28
	Can I have a vote please? All in favor aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you Lord Jesus.	02:25:31
	The next item is the Community of Benefit Fund establishment of a 2025 city review process.	02:25:40
	I think this ties in perfectly, and there's a couple of reasons, but it's talking about a process and creating a real process that	02:25:48
	has a.	02:25:53
	Kind of set schedule, an application process and measurable outcomes to sort of help us make this a more efficient process in the	02:25:58
	future. And I will just note, you know at the end of the day, I said a moment ago it's sometimes we have to be the the bad guy in	02:26:04
	the room but.	02:26:09
	Really the two items we talked about the the kind of the sort of request from the port and then the request right now about Nate's	02:26:17
	place are good examples where.	02:26:22
	It's just having a process in place so we understand even what the request is. When I mentioned the port earlier, I said I will	02:26:28
	just note, I said that I don't even know what the request is at this point. I haven't heard it or seen it. And so I'm going out	02:26:34
	based on a game of telephone. So what I'm hearing may not be at all what they said, but I think this process is how we address	02:26:40
	that in the future. We create an application, people apply for funding, they say what they're going to accomplish. They give us	02:26:46
	measurable outcomes that we can.	02:26:52
	Hold them to and at the end we we get a final report from them that says shows how they met those measurable outcomes. And if they	02:26:58
	didn't meet those outcomes, they won't get funding again. And so I kind of cut to the chase, but what we've done working with the	02:27:03
	Citizens Advisory Commission.	02:27:09
	And and working through them is putting together a process that we've delineated as sort of five steps and that we're recommending	02:27:15
	that we agree to move forward with this process starting next year. The five steps I'll give them in brief is step one. Around	02:27:23
	February 1st of each year, we'll announce the CBF funding.	02:27:31
	Period has opened with an application process and give people about 45 days to apply.	02:27:40
	For funding, they'll have to include specific information. We included a draft of the application. Step 2 will be city staff	02:27:47
	review to ensure alignment with the CBF categories and then those findings will be presented at ACAC meeting where the CAC will	02:27:53
	review those and make recommendations and then Step 3 project.	02:28:00
	The projects and the CAC recommendations will then be given, presented to the City Council, and then that feedback as part of Step	02:28:08
	4 will be used to.	02:28:12
	Give direction to the City Port Joint Committee and then.	02:28:18
	Essentially will go through the city port joint committee process is Step 5. And then the hope is that it's a more efficient	02:28:23
	process. We come back to council. We have all the information everybody needs is in writing in the applicant's own words. And like	02:28:29
	I said, most importantly, we're able to hold them to what they're committing to do and what they're promising to do. And so is	02:28:35
	that maybe we should have listed a step 6 would be and then coming back and making sure and reviewing that they've done what they	02:28:41
	what they have committed to do so.	02:28:47
	We've we've worked with the CAC to prepare that process. We recommend that process. It doesn't impact this year's because this	02:28:53
	year's has gone is already you know, the horse has left the, the station. But we are recommending starting this process February	02:29:00
	1st of next year for the next budget cycle. Thank you city manager, hold on for a long time.	02:29:08
	What I was going to say was this takes it out of our hands per SE, and makes it a cleaner process because this can get pretty.	02:29:16
	Heated up here and it gives us an opportunity to hear actual what the community recommends and it takes us out of the equation and	02:29:27
	it's not a council wish list no longer. So it's actually community input, community direction, community driven, which is always	02:29:33
	better for the council. But Mayor Pro Tem, you had a comment or question couple of things.	02:29:40
	Thank you. Thank you all who worked on this to put this together. But I do have a couple of questions. So is there is there a plan	02:29:47
	to have?	02:29:52
	A detailed list of some sort that kind of speaks to what level of donation?	02:29:59
	Should be requested.	02:30:07
	We're only talking $100,000 we're talking about.	02:30:09
	Port and the city. So I would imagine I'd hate for someone to submit something with a a donation amount that that will die on the	02:30:12
	vine. That's a good point. Yeah. So that's one of them. And then the other one is.	02:30:21
	I would imagine there would be have to be some verbage because this is the the city process. We still have to sit in the room with	02:30:30
	the port.	02:30:35
	And get the stamp on it. So that should be communicated in a way. And then I had one more thing.	02:30:40
	I'll stop there, it'll come back to me. So.	02:30:53
	Councilmember Gama, thank you.	02:30:55
	So what I feel is necessary, and I think this takes a huge step in that direction, is taking this out of commissioners and taking	02:31:01
	it out of council members realm. And if someone were to come to my house and say, hey, you know, looking to get some funding here,	02:31:07
	can you help me out? I'll say yeah, yeah, sure. Here you go. Here's an application, go for it. And I think that's, I would hope	02:31:14
	that we could get the port to do the same.	02:31:20
	Because if, if, if we both have a process that's different, then there's going to be conflict.	02:31:28
	That's just the way it is. And with the community benefit fund, I don't want to look to the past as our road map to the future	02:31:35
	because yes, there was a time where the money just sat for what, two years rich And then we finally tried to figure out how to	02:31:43
	spend it. And then it came down to this council person wants this and that and this and that. And so I really.	02:31:50
	I believe that council members and commissioners should be out of the process and the thing that bothers me is when we send 2	02:31:59
	council members over there, it sets us up.	02:32:05
	For failure because we are now no longer able to talk to those two representatives because of the Brown Act.	02:32:11
	Right, so so.	02:32:19
	I think a.	02:32:22
	I like the process approach. I think council members should be out of bringing in suggestions. I think our community should drive	02:32:24
	the suggestions and the request for funds and and we could identify those needs and market, hey, we have this great program.	02:32:32
	And then we've received those applications. And then we were just talking with a resident today who's establishing her own	02:32:40
	foundation in the memory of her husband.	02:32:45
	And she has my, she has it pretty well mapped out as to an application process, you know, so that you can measure milestones and	02:32:50
	all that stuff. So I think we need to get there. And I think this is a big step, but I do believe we need the port to adopt the	02:32:56
	same.	02:33:03
	Because it would be, it would, it would be kind of weird, wouldn't it, if on our side we get all these requests from our community	02:33:10
	and on the other side you have.	02:33:16
	I don't know. Do you have?	02:33:22
	A wish list coming from.	02:33:24
	From the Commissioner, AB or C or D Councilmember Martinez.	02:33:27
	One initial question which was are there any areas in this process that can be improved? And one of the things that I was thinking	02:33:32
	about was where does the port?	02:33:37
	Where's the port in this process in terms of they're not right, this is just our process, correct? But that is something that's	02:33:43
	going to be discussed.	02:33:47
	I don't think so. I think it came up at the joint meetings a few times based on some of the public comment and.	02:33:53
	I think we had said a few times that we knew that the council had already identified wanting to like kind of look at the process	02:34:01
	and improve it and but I didn't ever hear the port say they would change their process. OK. That being said, are there any other	02:34:08
	areas in this process that can be improved in your opinion? Well, I think, I mean, you guys are hitting on sort of the key	02:34:14
	challenge, but it's the challenge inherent in the system which is at the end of the day two different.	02:34:21
	Agencies have to agree, so that's always going to be the challenge, but that's in the contract and it's written in and it's.	02:34:28
	So, so that is like the inherent challenge, but I think that is just that that's like the nature of the beast. Council member	02:35:05
	Hernandez, thank you, Mayor, first of all, I, I think the key point is that that's been missing in this process is that the	02:35:12
	members who represent us on the committee don't always come back and this has been in previous years. Don't always come back and	02:35:18
	report out and then.	02:35:24
	The report on the out, on the results of the meeting and then.	02:35:31
	We don't agendize a discussion, so that has to happen.	02:35:35
	That definitely has to happen, has to happen in order to for us to avoid the Brown Act and to have a process that works. I do have	02:35:39
	a couple of suggestions on the application. If I may, Mr. City Manager, I think we should add a point of contact. I want to thank	02:35:45
	whoever put this together. It looks really good. It's a good start, but I think we should have, besides the organizational name, a	02:35:52
	point of contact.	02:35:58
	And if we're asking them if your organization is a registered nonprofit, yes or no?	02:36:05
	If they say no, are we asking because we need them to have some kind of fiduciary agent?	02:36:12
	If so, we need to mention we need to ask that question. If you do not, if you are not a non profit, who is your fiduciary agent?	02:36:18
	Yeah, we talked a little bit about what our intent was with that question because originally, originally I had the perspective of	02:36:25
	it's not a non, if it's not a non profit, I think we should disqualify him. But we talked as a group and and I think the intent	02:36:32
	that we kind of agreed on was that we think whether they are registered non-profit is information that the CAC and the council.	02:36:39
	Will probably find valuable, but I think we kind of talked that there are situations where.	02:36:47
	It wouldn't be the end of the conversation though just because they aren't a non profit so yeah.	02:36:52
	The Coastal Keepers, for instance, they use the port and their fiduciary agent. So I think you might have situations like that.	02:37:00
	Are reviewing it, the council and the CAC, but not necessarily to be a determinative factor and then I think.	02:37:10
	Have to keep in mind that some of these nonprofits are short staffed and may be limited in their familiarity with completing grant	02:37:18
	applications. So if we could be a little bit more help them away along the way and describing what kind of details they might	02:37:26
	include. If you're asking for details, maybe describe from what kind of details we're looking for. Same with the proposed budget.	02:37:35
	Some of them may have never done a budget. So I mean maybe you suggested we need we want to see salaries, how you going to?	02:37:44
	Could be salary, supplies, program, operating costs. How are you going to use the proposed budget? And then let's see if there was	02:37:50
	anything else.	02:37:55
	Other than that, those were my only comments on the.	02:38:00
	Did you still remember your question?	02:38:04
	Specifically, but I did have a couple of more.	02:38:06
	Statements. I think so. I just want to be sure that when the time comes, the applications.	02:38:09
	Go to everyone, not just specific people or.	02:38:18
	Some people say, oh, I didn't know they were, you know, some people got the application someday. And so just whatever we need to	02:38:22
	do to make sure that we're we're sending out the applications to who who needs to get them or as many people as we can and not	02:38:28
	eliminate anyone. And then the other thing that just kind of came up for me is.	02:38:35
	So for the for the CAC, you participate in those meetings, not the deputy city manager is typically the liaison. And then I've	02:38:43
	gone to a couple, but I don't go to every everyone.	02:38:49
	And the reason I ask that is that I would.	02:38:57
	I would definitely like.	02:39:01
	The CAC to be.	02:39:05
	Connected right? Because.	02:39:08
	The city, while we won't be in this initial process, it'll still come back for us to take a look at. But I would really want the	02:39:12
	CAC to understand what's going on in the city so that they know if there's any. Even outside of the application process, is there	02:39:18
	a requirement that the city really needs? You all have to be in tune to be able to do that. So I would like like to make just make	02:39:24
	sure that there's that connection.	02:39:30
	Got it. And then just to your point earlier.	02:39:37
	There is a sentence in there noting because you mentioned the city kind of explaining that the city process but not the ports	02:39:41
	process. So we do have a sentence in there in the language trying to identify that. So we can just try to maybe maybe make that a	02:39:47
	little bit clearer. And I think the comment about maybe just an overview of how much funding is typically available in a year and	02:39:53
	that typically most grants are 5 to 10,000 dollars.	02:39:59
	We can include some language like that to just kind of steer them in the right direction.	02:40:06
	I have no questions or comments. I pretty much agree with the majority of what being said here. I don't believe the port, the port	02:40:10
	we're going to have to just assume.	02:40:14
	They're going to do their own process. This process has to be ours an hour alone and we should not have any assumptions to or	02:40:19
	expectations that the port is going to develop this same guideline.	02:40:25
	We have to remember that the process starts here with us. It's going to start with the CAC and then come to council and then it	02:40:34
	goes to the port. So we shouldn't really be concerned about what process they have in mind because if it's not going to start with	02:40:40
	them, it starts with us. So Councilmember Gama.	02:40:45
	OK. I also believe we should clean up the language, the settlement language and because if you look at the second to the last	02:40:53
	paragraph, tell me what shoreline protection we funded out of the community benefit fund, it shouldn't be there. We can't.	02:41:01
	Shoreline protection at a minimum is 4 million what, $16,000,000 every two years?	02:41:10
	I agree with you. Why is it? Why is it there? You know, it's it's.	02:41:19
	So I mean the other three community development opportunistic endeavors, other projects, I mean can we scratch shoreline	02:41:23
	protection and we cannot. That question was brought up to their city attorney who was part of the process of drafting that	02:41:30
	language. And I asked that specifically. We cannot change the language of the settlement group at all.	02:41:36
	It doesn't make sense. Well, we did talk about though was the fact that these are pretty broad categories and that's something	02:41:45
	that can be discussed and explored over the next year.	02:41:50
	Both at the joint committee and then at the definitely with the council is what is the priorities that we want to set in these	02:41:56
	very broad categories. I mean even the thing we struggled with is even saying that we're going to have the CAC review the	02:42:02
	categories and then review these projects against them. One of the categories is other. So they're not going to be able to really	02:42:08
	disqualify anything there. It's all going to be just prioritizing.	02:42:15
	Which things meet the priorities and the goals of the city? And for the record, we weren't the only one that brought that up with	02:42:22
	President Zacharias.	02:42:25
	Wanted clarification as to what the categories meant and if we're actually.	02:42:29
	Creating ideas that fall in those categories. But it was advised by their counsel that we cannot change that language. Oh, that's	02:42:35
	an opinion. It's a legal opinion and I get it. But when we have a system that's kind of not functioning properly, can't we meet at	02:42:42
	the table and say, hey, how can we make this clearer, cleaner and better for our community? Is that?	02:42:50
	Not a possibility.	02:42:59
	The council could always make that ask. It's I, I think the, well, it sounds like President Zacharias may have even made a little	02:43:02
	bit of ask. I mean, because I just, it's just funny to see shoreline protection here. Really. What are you talking about? RIP rap,	02:43:10
	A roll of RIP rap for $100,000 that we could give to the Army Corps of Engineers. I mean, there's, there's nothing we could do to.	02:43:18
	Shoreline protection, then you don't fund that, then you move to community development opportunity, opportunistic or other. My	02:43:26
	point, religious stuff we do is another can I?	02:43:32
	Yes. So in the past I was told because I've asked this questions for years in the past I was told by various city managers that	02:43:39
	the money is there to assist with any sand that's displaced from the beach, such as the volleyball courts or an ADA mat. You know,	02:43:46
	after you pull up the ADA mat, the sands displaced so you bring in more sand to replenish. So I mean, I think we just have to	02:43:53
	think out-of-the-box and and come up with how we might find projects that fit within that.	02:44:00
	Category but it's in writing and it cannot be changed so.	02:44:08
	Actually, I'm.	02:44:13
	I'm not sure that it can be changed. I could, I could certainly take a look at that and research it. But a settlement agreement	02:44:14
	that's been signed off by everybody, mayors, it really just cannot be changed. You can meet and see if the parties will amend it	02:44:21
	or come up with a new agreement that could possibly be done. A settlement agreement has to go back to court and have court	02:44:28
	approval over the process and.	02:44:35
	It's not something we as a body who are not part of that process.	02:44:42
	Can't change that. But don't say you can't, because I just heard you can and there's a process for that and.	02:44:45
	So.	02:44:53
	We have a recommendation.	02:44:56
	With no are there any public comments regarding this recommendation against this item? Actually #15 no public comments. Thank you.	02:44:58
	So, any further comments and questions?	02:45:03
	Seeing none, can I have a motion to approve the process?	02:45:09
	Move to approve. Have a second.	02:45:12
	Thank you, Madam Clerk. So the recommendation is, do I need to read the right? The recommendation is to receive a summary of the	02:45:14
	Citizen Advisory Commission's or CAC comments and recommendations regarding the proposed Community Benefit Fund or CBF review	02:45:21
	process and approve a revised procedure for the 2025 CBF process that includes an application process and structure CAC review. We	02:45:28
	have a motion in a second already on the record. Madam Clerk, please.	02:45:34
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	02:45:42
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:45:45
	OK.	02:45:48
	Let's move on to City Manager. Comments and reports Mr. City Manager.	02:45:50
	Thank you.	02:45:54
	I have a.	02:45:56
	I have a couple of slides.	02:46:01
	I'll try to keep it brief.	02:46:03
	So we just had a couple slides, mostly a little bit looking, just one slide looking back at some things we did over the summer	02:46:06
	that we wanted to highlight and then looking forward to this weekend. So I'll get to that. But we wanted to call out 2 events that	02:46:13
	we did over the summer break. We actually did a few. But the National Night Out, which also then ended up sort of tying in with	02:46:20
	the Sister City committee, ended up being something we were really happy with and really proud about.	02:46:27
	Really bringing out.	02:46:35
	The community to participate in National Night Out and which is really intended to build that police community partnership. So we	02:46:37
	did that last month and then yesterday people may have seen the line going down the the beach. We for the first time we're able to	02:46:44
	get on our beach the Rams on the one.	02:46:52
	Mobile Rams vehicle, the Rams House vehicle I think is what they call it and.	02:47:02
	We had him out yesterday on Labor Day at our beach and it went pretty well. And I think we got a lot of positive feedback. And I	02:47:08
	think most of the negative feedback is there was a long line and there were no Rams football players and there were no players.	02:47:15
	Yeah, yeah. I think they had some cheerleaders in the mascot and some giveaways. So, so quite the crowd for that. We heard about	02:47:22
	people coming from three to two to three hours away to to come out and and see that.	02:47:28
	So I think they were happy overall.	02:47:36
	No, I don't know. We've heard, we definitely have heard some feedback from people saying they thought players would be there, but	02:47:40
	we heard a lot of feedback from people who were, who were happy with it. So hopefully most people feel that way.	02:47:46
	So it was the first time we've done it. They've they've gone out to some beaches before and I think last year they went to Ventura	02:47:52
	Beach. So this is the first year we we got them to come out to Hawaii, so.	02:47:57
	And then that leads to next week. And like I mentioned earlier, the forecast right now for the rest of the county shows 100° and	02:48:03
	it will be 79 as usual in Port Hueneme. And we'll have our beach fest on September 7th and 8th. So anybody looking to get out of	02:48:11
	the heat can come visit September 7th and 8th, 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM free admission, free parking, and.	02:48:19
	We've started to finalize our event schedule, so this is the first time we're we're showing that, but we're having a high school	02:48:28
	marching band competition.	02:48:32
	Saturday, I'm sorry, not a competition, a showcase. Saturday at 11:00 AM, That'll be followed immediately by at 12:00. We're doing	02:48:36
	our Hero Award presentation and then we're also going to recognize those high school marching bands at that time, so that should	02:48:41
	be fun.	02:48:46
	And then at 2:00 PM, Bruno and the Hooligans, which is a Bruno Mars tribute act and something we haven't ever had before. So	02:48:52
	they'll be here at 2:00, five o'clock, a tribute to Mana, Corazon de Mana, which is I don't think, well, we didn't have them last	02:48:58
	year. I don't know if we've had them in the past, but we were trying to, to get groups that appealed to all the different parts of	02:49:04
	our community. And then Sunday, 11:00 AM, we'll have the smooth sounds of Santana. 2:00 PM, Twisted Gypsy, Fleetwood Mac	02:49:10
	reimagined which?	02:49:15
	They're always a favorite, it seems like. And 5:00 PM we have a band coming out and so and that's on the mainstage. And then one	02:49:21
	thing we're going to do a little different this year is on the Tony Young Community stage. We're going to have a couple of acts	02:49:28
	out on that stage at the times where there's not music going on the mainstage. So so there should be something for everyone at	02:49:35
	Beachfest and then bringing back the sandcastle contests and.	02:49:42
	We'll be having that.	02:49:50
	And we actually need some judges, so I'll be bugging council members about maybe doing that. And then the beach wrestling	02:49:51
	tournament and and then all the all the other good stuff, the live music, arts and crafts, vendor booths and carnival rides. So	02:49:58
	it's this weekend and a good excuse to get out of the heat.	02:50:05
	And then looking forward even further, we got two big events coming up. We have Coastal Cleanup Day on September 21st.	02:50:12
	We'll do 5:30 to 6:30 at Booker Park. Another feedback we heard was a lot of people said we've never done one of these at Volcker	02:50:50
	Park. So we're going to give that a shot and it'll be informal. And my hope is I think the plan is to have the mayor and mayor Pro	02:50:56
	Tem there and some police representatives, public works and myself. And we'll be just be there to answer questions or take	02:51:02
	feedback from the community. So we'll get more information on that out to the public. But that's coming up on Wednesday, September	02:51:08
	18th.	02:51:14
	And then on our next agenda, September 16th, right now we have 3 presentations scheduled, National Suicide Prevention Month,	02:51:22
	Banana Festival Proclamation. And then we had a request several months ago and we've just had non-stop, we've had a lot of	02:51:29
	presentations. So we had a request from Community Action to come to a presentation on their programming and they're doing a lot of	02:51:36
	good things. So we wanted to make sure we we get them in to talk about some of the.	02:51:43
	Projects and programs they're doing, so they'll be our third presentation on that agenda. And then right now the three big	02:51:51
	business items are.	02:51:55
	The Bubbling Springs playground contract is coming back, the council had approved.	02:52:01
	Almost the whole project except for the playground, because we were doing both at the same time to try to keep the project moving	02:52:07
	and it's actually working and things are lining up. But now we're at the point where we've gone through an RFP and we need to get	02:52:14
	the contract approved for the Bubbling Springs Playground. So that'll come back. And then we have that grand jury county wide	02:52:22
	report that said the whole county needs to get on a regional radio system. So we have the item coming back on that.	02:52:29
	At the next meeting. And then we mentioned a couple months ago that we were looking at doing an ADA evaluation.	02:52:36
	Americans with Disabilities Act evaluation and transition plan for the city. And so that's going to be coming back to council as	02:52:45
	well. We've got some bids on that. So, so those are three big business items that we're planning to bring back on the 16th.	02:52:51
	And that's everything I have.	02:52:59
	Thank you. Any questions for City Manager Vega?	02:53:02
	Wrestling's on Saturday and Sunday, or just Saturday.	02:53:06
	Trying to remember.	02:53:12
	It's OK. You can, you can, you can let me know later this week. Yeah, I think that's Saturday and the Sandcastle Sunday. But we'll	02:53:14
	when we do our update, we'll no worries. We'll reiterate that. And for the record, I will be appearing at that meeting via Zoom.	02:53:21
	So it'll be mayor Pro Tem leading the meeting on the 16th.	02:53:28
	September. Isn't that the next meeting, The next council meeting? Next council meeting?	02:53:37
	And I am very sad about that because it'll be the suicide prevention proclamation, but.	02:53:40
	I'll be dialing in, yeah, but I don't know if it's clear enough to.	02:53:47
	Read, but I'll leave that for someone else to read if they want.	02:53:50
	Anyone else?	02:53:55
	Questions, Comments for Vega. OK, so we'll move on to Councilman reports and comments.	02:53:56
	I feel like August was such a long time ago. It's just that.	02:54:03
	3rd of September so far. There was so much that was going on in August, just for the record.	02:54:08
	I think Mayor Pro Tem.	02:54:14
	Hit it right on the nail that we had the three-point shooting contest, the kite event, the winding me fun run. We had the sister	02:54:18
	city visit which they were here for a couple days and that was really nice. We were able to get the.	02:54:24
	Ron to come and do the dance and then we had the mariachi that for the National Night Out event. That was nice.	02:54:32
	The mural projects moving forward. So we had a meeting for that too. I think everybody's going to be thrilled with with artists	02:54:38
	came out with and we had the pickleball tournament, which was a big success. If you guys didn't go registered for the next one,	02:54:43
	it's going to be mixed double s and.	02:54:49
	I also want to mention.	02:54:56
	That I'm really happy to to be on this Councilman like I was reflecting a lot. It's, you know, I'm not running again. And I just	02:55:00
	want to say it's I'm going to miss you guys, but I know it's a little premature, but I, I love you guys and I love the city and I	02:55:05
	love everyone and I'm so happy to be here. So just thank you for for the for me being here so.	02:55:11
	See.	02:55:18
	Yeah, it's funny, I grabbed the wrong notebook and I have my notes welcoming you and Misty to our council.	02:55:20
	Nearly four years ago. It's right here. Welcome to our newest City Council members. So yeah, it's been a great 3.5.	02:55:28
	Years that I know.	02:55:36
	Really appreciate everybody for all the hard work we do and it's not easy anyone thinks it is. Trust me, it's not a.	02:55:38
	I did not attend the the Port Visioning Strategic Plan.	02:55:47
	But I did spend an hour and a half looking at looking over their strategic plan online.	02:55:52
	And.	02:56:01
	I just think that we need to be more vocal in.	02:56:05
	Whatever you do at the port, it affects the city of Port Hueneme because we are the gateway out of the port and I started thinking	02:56:11
	about.	02:56:16
	Years ago in 1981 when they first started bringing cars in, that so happens that coincide with the revenue sharing agreement,	02:56:24
	which I still think is in place.	02:56:29
	From 1981 a lot has changed, but the agreement hasn't, so I think.	02:56:35
	And then to look at.	02:56:42
	A very aggressive plan that they have, it's going to impact our city. And so I just want to.	02:56:44
	We need to be more involved. I think we need to consider the impacts that we need to be able to discuss them openly and.	02:56:54
	And strategically because?	02:57:03
	Whatever they do at the port impacts the residents, particularly the residents here and.	02:57:06
	And it's a big impact. And when they first started bringing cars in, they thought it was such a big impact that they entered into	02:57:14
	an agreement with us. And apparently, you know, we haven't the City Council since then, you know, we haven't reviewed them and	02:57:21
	updated them. And so I think that time is coming for that. And and that's, that's what I got out of reviewing their strategic plan	02:57:27
	is like, well, what's our strategic plan for dealing with the port? So.	02:57:34
	Maybe we should. Maybe.	02:57:42
	Hopefully we could get something on the agenda soon so we can start talking about some of these hard stop issues like the revenue	02:57:44
	sharing agreement.	02:57:49
	I think it's been a great summer.	02:57:56
	I'm sad it's over.	02:57:59
	Yesterday we had our Labor Day community BBQ, which we've been doing for many years now, and I was a little concerned about the	02:58:01
	Rams event.	02:58:06
	They showed up at 6:00 AM. They were great. They were very, very respectful of our beach.	02:58:12
	And I was out there at 6:00 AM. Actually, I was out there earlier. In fact, I was out there.	02:58:19
	All night cooking a brisket.	02:58:25
	The fans were so excited. I took Wanami Beach cards and I walked the whole line and taught in the Riverside, Bakersfield, Irvine,	02:58:31
	San Diego. I mean, these people came from everywhere and.	02:58:37
	They weren't angry standing in line. They're the happiest group of people I've ever met. And they're so appreciative of the	02:58:44
	weather. I think maybe that's why they were all smiling, because they came from places. Even if you go to Thousand Oaks, it's hot,	02:58:52
	right? But Wanami Beach, are you kidding me? We, we forget how nice we have it. And so, yeah, it was just wonderful seeing these	02:58:59
	people and so many people never been to the city before they came here. And they're like, where are we going?	02:59:06
	You know, you're off the freeway, you're off the beaten path, and so.	02:59:14
	I hope they come back and they're a great bunch of people. And they have these signs. If you look at the photograph that City	02:59:19
	Manager Vega put up, they had these signs that said, Port Hueneme, I go, man, what are you going to do with those signs? And he	02:59:27
	gave them to me. And so I have them to give and, and have them to give to our city manager. And I forgot to bring him, but.	02:59:35
	They're super signs and I hope we could put one in here. Who knows we'll but he was gladly to to give him and say, you know this	02:59:44
	is for your city and so.	02:59:48
	I should have brought him, but I'll get him to you.	02:59:54
	I don't have anything else except closeout the summer.	02:59:56
	Strong Council member Hernandez thank you. I had a really good summer it was a busy summer while we were dark meetings still	03:00:00
	continued and we but they were they were good meetings I I participated in the SCAG hosted visit to the port last week I also	03:00:08
	participated in the strategic planning session. I thought it was very helpful and I appreciated the opportunity to weigh in my.	03:00:16
	My thoughts and and my comments on their strategic plan, which I did.	03:00:26
	Let's see what else. The sister city event was great. Bobby did a great job organizing and and making sure we filled the time and	03:00:32
	everybody had a great time. We got to use this the fire pits on the beach, which was which was a lot of fun so.	03:00:40
	I just wanted to, aside from everything going on this summer, I just wanted to also mention that this month is National Emergency	03:00:49
	Preparedness Month, will also be honoring a 911 anniversary on 9/11. The fire department, I imagine, will be doing their flag	03:00:57
	ceremony as usual. So if anybody can make it there at 7:00 AM, that's the time to be out in front of our local fire station here.	03:01:04
	And it's also a National Hispanic Heritage Month.	03:01:11
	Unfortunately, none of these three made it to our on our agenda for for a proclamation. I I think we have a policy now that we can	03:01:19
	only have 3 proclamations on our.	03:01:25
	Our agendas is that is that the rule now? Well, it's more that the council has to request items. So if if the council wanted to	03:01:33
	request items, they could so.	03:01:37
	OK. Can I, can I request at this point one for National Emergency Preparedness Month and maybe combine it with 9/11 for our next	03:01:42
	meeting? So you're saying in addition to the three on the next meeting? Yeah. Should we do that under future agenda items? OK.	03:01:49
	Yeah, otherwise I'm I'm done. It's a late night getting along. Mary put him.	03:01:58
	We attended some of the events over the last month and a half, some of them.	03:02:07
	Councilmember.	03:02:13
	I just forget your last name, Martinez. I do that. I do that.	03:02:18
	Yeah. And then?	03:02:29
	RDP We had our annual dinner celebration last week, Councilmember Hernandez and I.	03:02:32
	I was able to go to that.	03:02:37
	On the end of this month, the 29th through October the 2nd.	03:02:40
	I'll be attending with GCTD, the American Public Transit Association conference. They'll be supporting it financially.	03:02:47
	Both myself as Vice Chair and Mike Johnson from Ventura, who's the chair of the committee will be going so.	03:02:57
	That's the end of the month and we had our July city port meeting.	03:03:05
	Of course, we all went to the scholarship celebration and.	03:03:12
	I did go to the.	03:03:17
	The ports strategic plan meeting, which was identical.	03:03:19
	Some updates, but it was.	03:03:25
	Mostly information.	03:03:28
	That was shared in the January meeting and they were collecting comments for an addendum for.	03:03:30
	Their strategic plan.	03:03:37
	The last one is last thing is that.	03:03:41
	For Whitening Beach festival Saturday, I have.	03:03:45
	Appointment that I can't cancel, so I'll be there late in the afternoon on Saturday.	03:03:47
	And.	03:03:54
	Coastal cleanup, I know that's coming at the end of the month.	03:03:55
	Yeah, so.	03:04:02
	One of my external organizations is participating so just need some information so I can provide.	03:04:04
	Yeah, just let me know. I'd be happy to provide you with whatever you need.	03:04:14
	OK.	03:04:20
	Yes.	03:04:24
	Well.	03:04:26
	Texting is better sometimes, but on the you know, as a reflecting.	03:04:29
	Wanami Beach down to Ormond Beach is so clean that.	03:04:35
	We really well compared to the years past, I mean when we're filling up dumpsters, I mean it is so clean, it's amazing, it's	03:04:41
	wonderful. So our theme is going to have to be focused on micro stuff, which again is important. But the days of lugging TV's and	03:04:49
	couches, there is one couch out there, but other than that, so it's a good problem to have.	03:04:58
	You know the beach isn't.	03:05:08
	So then you can celebrate the fact that our beach is so clean. Yeah, yeah, yeah.	03:05:10
	Thank you.	03:05:17
	The only thing I have to say is the port.	03:05:18
	City meeting. We pretty much discussed during this discussion what the gist of that meeting was. There wasn't much.	03:05:21
	To tell and otherwise and I did not attend any other meetings so I have no reporting out on anything or any comments to give.	03:05:28
	So I will move on to requests for future agenda items.	03:05:38
	Councilman Gamma.	03:05:43
	I don't know how to state this other than should we not have an agenda item to begin discussions with the port on a revenue	03:05:46
	sharing agreements or?	03:05:52
	I don't know if we I do know that they're going to expire.	03:06:02
	10 years.	03:06:09
	But anyways, I feel like we I would like to make a request to have an agenda item so that we could discuss revenue sharing	03:06:12
	agreements and port relations.	03:06:16
	I'll second.	03:06:22
	Yeah. I was going to just say, I think it's just up to the council whether when they want to have that those conversations. So I	03:06:25
	think we should have it at it.	03:06:29
	1st and 2nd All in favor aye, all opposed.	03:06:33
	None. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you. Any further agenda items for Mr. Gama?	03:06:39
	Council Member Hernandez, Thank you. Mayor, yes, I would like to ask, you know, it's funny because I I've seen proclamation show	03:06:45
	up on the agenda and they haven't been asked to be an agenda item, but OK, I'll ask National Emergency Preparedness Month if we	03:06:50
	could do a proclamation.	03:06:55
	On that I would.	03:07:00
	Like to request.	03:07:02
	A second so that we can recognize second.	03:07:04
	11 Thank you.	03:07:07
	And then just a reminder, so we have 3 scheduled suicide National Suicide Prevention Month, Banana Fest proclamation and Community	03:07:09
	Action. So you can either ask to put this in place of one of those other items or to have more than three presentations. My, I	03:07:14
	think the question earlier is that is there a new policy that we only have 3 presentations? No, it's my recommendation that we	03:07:20
	only have 3 presentations. And I think tonight was a good example of why because they were great, but they did take like 40	03:07:26
	minutes, so.	03:07:32
	So just to try to have time to get to the business, I don't think this would take that long.	03:07:38
	OK. So then we have a second, sorry. And then just to confirm, it would be for September 16th, you're requesting the program?	03:07:45
	OK.	03:07:53
	Oh, sorry, all in favor.	03:07:58
	Aye, all opposed.	03:07:59
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	03:08:02
	And the other item I have is a document that I've asked our city attorney to share with the council. It's related to discussion on	03:08:05
	commitment to nonprofit causes and public service. It's out of AB 1224 self study materials. And it's, I think it's worth reading	03:08:11
	if any one of us are attached to a nonprofit, has an elected official, I think it's really worth looking at the conflict of	03:08:18
	interest and bias that we we would want to avoid.	03:08:25
	In our workings with the with the city.	03:08:32
	So I'm going to hand this over to the city clerk for distribution in our I guess you can make coffees and put them in our Bacchus.	03:08:36
	The number of the 12:34.	03:08:51
	Do you have any agenda items?	03:09:02
	Thank you. So is anything else need to be discussed before we go? Otherwise I'm going to adjourn this meeting. You do OK, Go	03:09:07
	ahead. Sure.	03:09:12
	To our city manager so city manager, I just want to say thank you. I'm not sure how much work you put into getting the lights done	03:09:18
	on cross Jack thank you. And so it's really nice it's been I don't know how many years ago, four years. It's nice to have them	03:09:24
	there and they're on and I.	03:09:30
	If if it can be done easily.	03:09:38
	And if you can share the information, I would like to know how much does it cost to do a job like that? OK, I'd like to be able to	03:09:43
	communicate that to my.	03:09:49
	The residents in my community, yeah. And so that folks know it's not just something when things don't happen.	03:09:57
	Yeah. And I think that it's funny because it costs more than people probably realize. And then, and I know it's not on the agenda,	03:10:05
	so I can't get into it. But the last thing too is also I think the open secret in the county state maybe at this point is that	03:10:11
	it's also just hard to get Edison, Southern California Edison to focus on on one project like that when they're out doing huge	03:10:17
	projects and developments and everything else, so.	03:10:23
	So we can get that information. It's more expensive than people think, but we'll get that information. And then just credit to	03:10:30
	Fred Camarillo and Charles Cable, who did the the heavy lifting on that project to really push it over the finish line.	03:10:36
	And sorry, I will make a correction. It wasn't four years. It was because I haven't been here four years. It was like.	03:10:43
	A little. It was a little after I started SO.	03:10:51
	It was a while.	03:10:54
	OK, so and nothing further, I'm going to adjourn this meeting. The time is 9:30.	03:10:57
	941.	03:11:04

	Good evening everyone.	00:00:16
	Welcome to the City Council regular meeting. I'm calling this meeting to order. The time is now 6:30 PM. Please stand and join me	00:00:18
	for the flag salute.	00:00:21
	United States and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.	00:00:36
	Madam Clerk, will you please take roll call?	00:00:52
	Councilmember Gama.	00:00:54
	Here. Councilmember Hernandez here.	00:00:58
	Councilmember Martinez present, Mayor Pro Tem McQueen legend here and Mayor Perez here. Tonight's inspiration will be given by	00:01:02
	Mayor Pro Tem Martha McQueen, legend.	00:01:07
	Good evening everyone, I didn't know you all will be here for my inspiration. Thank you. Thank you for coming.	00:01:15
	Yeah, I know we have a lot of people we're going to be recognizing today and I just wanted to do my part. So good evening,	00:01:22
	everyone. Welcome back to Council meeting and welcome to September.	00:01:28
	So this is about, I'm going to tell you a little bit about my experience over this last month. So being on hiatus for the last	00:01:36
	month and a half from the council meetings, the commissions and some of the other committees that I'm I'm on, I will say that I	00:01:43
	felt a little detached compared to the the other eleven months where we're actively working.	00:01:50
	So.	00:01:58
	I've had a lot of time, but not much to do in the time, so it kind of went by really slow for me, but it caused me to reflect on	00:02:02
	how our city could be if we were not engaged with our community and those that come into our community.	00:02:11
	So as a result.	00:02:20
	Of that, I personally want to say thank you.	00:02:22
	To the Recreation and Community Services Division, both the leadership and the staff for continuing to provide top notch events,	00:02:25
	allowing our residents the opportunity to remain connected with us, to our city leaders and to our city staff and to one another.	00:02:35
	I imagine, I don't know if our recreation folks, I don't see you out there, got some folks raise your hand so the folks can see	00:02:45
	who you are that provides service to the community. So I imagine what it relates to you who are providing these events for us and	00:02:53
	the planning and the coordinated these events, you might see what you do only as your job.	00:03:01
	But I assure you, it's more important than that.	00:03:10
	It's more than that.	00:03:14
	The residents see it for more than that.	00:03:15
	And those that come to Port Hueneme to participate in those events, I'm sure they see it as more.	00:03:19
	Than that. So again I just want to thank you for the work that you continue to do.	00:03:25
	For our residents and for our surrounding communities that come in and participate in those events.	00:03:30
	I see the city of Port Hueneme where the the little what did the little city by the sea?	00:03:37
	And but we do big things in the city of Port Hueneme. And I just want you to know that we appreciate all the work that you do for	00:03:44
	us, for the community.	00:03:48
	Thank you, beautiful. Thank you, Martha.	00:03:51
	And I'm sure all of us up here agree with you 100% on that. We do appreciate our city staff for the hard work that they do.	00:03:57
	O we will now hear public comments not pertaining to items on the agenda. Comments are limited to three minutes and this process	00:04:05
	will be the same for comments pertaining to each agenda item. Madam Clerk, do we have any public comments? Yes. First off is Becky	00:04:10
	Bruni.	00:04:14
	Good evening Mayor, Mayor, Pro Tem, council and staff.	00:04:28
	I'm here tonight on behalf of Relay for Life and we are holding our event the 21st of this month.	00:04:32
	And for our first lap, which starts at 10:00 AM, we're asking city officials and elected officials to come and participate. And at	00:04:41
	2:00 PM, we're having first responder and military lab. So all you first responders and military out there, come out at 2:00 PM	00:04:50
	and join us. We'll be at the VCCU corporate headquarters on Del Mar Vista in Ventura.	00:05:00
	Thank you.	00:05:11
	Mr. David Scribner.	00:05:13
	Good evening.	00:05:25
	As you know, I'm the president of his first, said Village Homeowners Association, and we have been hit with massive graffiti over	00:05:27
	the last month or so.	00:05:31
	Some of these things are.	00:05:36
	8 feet high, 20 feet long. They're hitting us in all our walls. They're hitting Miranda Park.	00:05:38
	I don't even know how many.	00:05:45
	These to count, we've got 2 rival gangs who are seemingly trying to outdo each other.	00:05:47
	I know the Police Department is making a lot of efforts to catch these people. I don't have to catch any of them, but they have	00:05:56
	got a couple of them and city staff has been coming and painting over the stuff, the media as soon as it appears in most	00:06:03
	situations. So we really appreciate that it's made a big difference, but.	00:06:09
	Most, most mornings during the weekends, I start getting calls around or text around 8:00 in the morning where people are walking	00:06:19
	their dogs and we're seeing this stuff. So.	00:06:24
	The one thing I would like to ask is to see if you can get the cameras working at the park again, because they're tagging the	00:06:32
	whole building up and everything from the pickleball courts to the walls and.	00:06:37
	The other thing is.	00:06:44
	We never know what happens when you catch somebody.	00:06:46
	We I consider as victims of crimes and we don't get notified if they got convicted. If anything happens to him, bluntly, I would	00:06:50
	like to consider suing them if we can catch them. As far as I understand a $400.00 or more worth of graffiti as a felony and I	00:06:56
	would say we probably have felonies occurring every week. So thanks to the Police Department. Thanks for city staff, it is making	00:07:03
	a difference.	00:07:09
	But it's not slowing them down. So I don't know what else you can do, what rabbit you can pull out of the hat. But if you can	00:07:16
	think of anything, please let me know. Thank you.	00:07:20
	Thomas, Viola.	00:07:27
	And Mayor, just quickly before that, if, if I can just it's on, it's not on the agenda. So we can't have a discussion. But if I	00:07:28
	could just note we'll get back to Mr. Scribner and his neighbors on that issue. And we are currently working on the camera issue	00:07:34
	mentioned. So we'll get back to them with an update on that.	00:07:40
	Are we? Are we good?	00:07:48
	Oh, so good. Good evening, Mayor Perez.	00:07:50
	Pro temp Mayor McQueen, John, The City Council, Mr. Vega And you know what? No one ever gives a city clerk a hello.	00:07:55
	So I'm going to say hello. How you doing there, Miss Alvarez? So the VFW, I'm here as a representative, I'm here as a commander of	00:08:04
	the VFW. The VFW acquired a flag about four months ago. And on this flag it has the names of everyone that was killed on 9/11. So	00:08:11
	we took the flag, we, we mounted it. We, we framed it, we mounted it in our hall, in our, in our canteen. And we're going to undo	00:08:18
	an unveiling on September 11th, kind of appropriate.	00:08:25
	The Police Department will be there, the fire department will be there, obviously. And then so I'm actually just inviting you all	00:08:33
	to come and join us.	00:08:37
	So it'd be September 11th at 11. The communities also involved, you all are all come on by.	00:08:41
	Come on by and check us out. And we also will be doing hamburgers that day. So that's always a big pleasure to everybody loves	00:08:47
	that. So anyway, I'm just inviting. It'll be a September 11th at 11:00 AM Thank you.	00:08:53
	Yes, at the VFW.	00:09:02
	I don't know who? Asked Richard Rollins.	00:09:04
	Get my notes here.	00:09:17
	Hi, my name is Rich Rollins and I want to.	00:09:23
	Thank you all for having me here today. The council, first of all, on a positive to positive notes, I would like to recognize and	00:09:27
	thank the city staff who got rid of major graffiti over at Miranda Park and then some of the adjoining community walls this past	00:09:36
	weekend. I came there on a Saturday morning. As you know, it's it's a Labor Day weekend and there's over 200.	00:09:46
	People, many of them from out of town, that come to visit our parks and.	00:09:56
	Early in the morning there was major graffiti there. By the afternoon it was gone. So I'm not sure if that's facility management	00:10:03
	or public works or whoever it was, but kudos to them for doing a quick job and making a good reputation for our community.	00:10:12
	I also would like to thank the City Council and all our local sponsors for our first annual pickleball tournament. We had sponsors	00:10:22
	the grocery warehouse, VFW, Ocean View Pavilion, Wheelhouse, Holiday Inn, and some out of town sponsors Santa Barbara pickleball	00:10:32
	and we had probably well over 100 people there. It was not only a big success for our community, but it was a big success.	00:10:42
	As far as a financial to help reach out as we move on, so thank you. We hope to do three more pickleball tournaments. We hope to	00:10:52
	do 4 per year and.	00:10:56
	Kudos and thanks for making this a good event.	00:11:03
	Sharon Chorus.	00:11:07
	Good evening, mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and City Council members. My name is Sharon Claris and I've been a resident of Port Hueneme for	00:11:17
	over 40 years and I've called this town my home and I loved it. When I first drove into this town, I went this is where I'm going	00:11:23
	to have my kids and this is going to be my forever home.	00:11:29
	Tonight, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for an extraordinary leader.	00:11:36
	A mentor and friend.	00:11:43
	For over 20 years I've had the privilege of working with Mr. George Magadham.	00:11:46
	I had the opportunity to be one of the first hired to teach the exercise program for the Social and Recreational day program that	00:11:51
	he started back in 2004.	00:11:56
	This recreational day program is for special needs as well, and what George does, it goes above and beyond. If you know this	00:12:03
	gentleman, whatever he does, there's nothing to normal. It's above and beyond. Sky is the limit and it's absolutely the finest	00:12:08
	social and recreational day program in Ventura County.	00:12:14
	That was the beginning of my career with George Mcgahn. During the 20 years as vice president of Ocean View Pavilion, we	00:12:22
	collectively did so many amazing things for our community.	00:12:27
	We provided the venue for numerous public and government entities to so many that I, I can't even say all the ones that we did,	00:12:32
	but one of my favorites, one was a for Ola, the fundraiser we did for the Wyoming Lifeguards. We did that two years in a row. And	00:12:39
	George is the type of person I'll do a fundraiser for you. I don't want a penny from you. We'll do everything that we need to make	00:12:45
	it happen, and we certainly did. It was absolutely amazing.	00:12:52
	We were the first to have Battle of the Badges and that's where the Police Department goes against the fire department. It's an	00:12:59
	amateur boxing event. We did, I believe three of them.	00:13:04
	Super successful. I would say we probably generated over six, at least 35,000, maybe 40,000 per event. We did three of them with	00:13:11
	all the funds, every single penny, everybody volunteered their time and efforts. Every single penny that was made for those events	00:13:19
	went strictly to the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme.	00:13:26
	We were the first to bring in professional boxing and actually there was a lot of boxers that started their career at Ocean View	00:13:35
	Pavilion, which is pretty cool. That was not a free event. We were the first to film Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, a	00:13:42
	wrestling show that we distributed. We we probably did it for about 6 years. We filmed that event. This was free to the community	00:13:49
	and we had people like David Arquette there. We had all sorts of crazy.	00:13:57
	From back in the 80s and the 90s, that came and it was a lot of fun. People loved coming to that event. We did that twice a month	00:14:05
	for six years, if you could imagine that. And this actually was televised nationally and internationally. So the city of Port	00:14:11
	Hueneme was everywhere. But I just give me a few more seconds here. We also provided free military concerts. We provided free art	00:14:18
	and craft fairs. We provided. Right now we're doing a Club 55 for seniors 55 and over.	00:14:25
	Once a month. That's just super, super cool. We.	00:14:33
	We had Big Bad Voodoo Daddy come and do concerts. We had Dave Mason. We were the opening people for Jo Koy. He started his career	00:14:36
	at Ocean View Pavilion.	00:14:40
	Jason love, April Love, but.	00:14:45
	George is a man with incredible dreams.	00:14:48
	A man who never says no.	00:14:52
	A man of community and thank you George, for all that you have done to make wine me amazing place to live in. Thank you, thank	00:14:55
	you.	00:14:59
	That concludes public comment.	00:15:10
	Thank you.	00:15:12
	OK.	00:15:14
	We will now move on to the approval of the agenda for City Council. May I have a motion and a second to approve the agenda so	00:15:16
	moved.	00:15:20
	2nd.	00:15:24
	Madam Clerk, all in favor? Aye, all opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	00:15:25
	Do any member of Council have any conflicts of interest to disclose for any item on the agenda tonight?	00:15:31
	Seeing none, we'll move on to presentation. The first presentation is the introduction of police Officer Luis Ortiz.	00:15:37
	Presented by our Chief of Police, Michael Federico.	00:15:45
	Good evening, everyone. Is my honor to introduce your newest police officer, Luis Ortiz.	00:15:52
	Can come awkwardly stand next to me, Laura.	00:15:59
	Talk about you here.	00:16:02
	Luis was born in Mexico. He came to the United States at the age of 10. He grew up in the southern part of Oxnard and in Port	00:16:07
	Hueneme. He completed his education from elementary through college here in Ventura County.	00:16:13
	As Luis describes, he had the honor to serve as an active duty combat engineer in the US Army where he completed 2 overseas	00:16:19
	deployments with the tremendous support of his family and wonderful wife.	00:16:25
	After finishing his service in March of 2022.	00:16:32
	He pursued his passion for law enforcement, graduated from Golden West College Police Academy in Huntington Beach, and then had	00:16:35
	the opportunity to work as a police officer for the City of Oxnard before coming here to us at Port Oney BPD.	00:16:43
	Luis tells us that he is deeply grateful to now be part of the Police Department team, he told me.	00:16:52
	It's a privilege to join such a dedicated team and he looks forward to contributing to the community and upholding the values of	00:16:59
	the department alongside his colleagues. He's he's currently in his field training phases and doing very well. He's becoming very	00:17:04
	well liked. He's showing his skills and proficiencies. He's impressed on those that he worked with and we're honored to have him	00:17:10
	here with us.	00:17:15
	Officer Luis Ortiz.	00:17:21
	Any words?	00:17:26
	Well, first of all, I want to just thank everybody for coming out for this warm welcome. And like I said before, it's great to be	00:17:30
	here. And all I can say is I promise to do my best to, you know, serve the community as best as possible.	00:17:37
	Thank you.	00:17:45
	Before you go, the council like to say a few words to officer.	00:17:49
	I think we had lunch together yesterday, right?	00:17:57
	Thank you for coming by. I was so.	00:18:01
	I'm so happy when we could sit down and.	00:18:05
	Share our community BBQ with the Police Department. It was pretty awesome, so thank you.	00:18:07
	Welcome, Officer. What was the name again?	00:18:15
	Ortiz Well, welcome, Officer Ortiz. Is your family here?	00:18:19
	Okay, okay. Well, I wanted to welcome them too. So thank you for being here. We're happy to see you and good luck in your service.	00:18:24
	Appreciate it. Thank you.	00:18:28
	Thank you for choosing wine me. As we know, every officer has a choice to what city they want to apply to. So we appreciate every	00:18:35
	officer who chooses to serve our community. We have a special community. We have a very community oriented Police Department and	00:18:41
	they love this community and I hope you can come to love it as well as much as they do. Did you say you have a wife and she's not	00:18:47
	here? Not here, no. OK, Well, I wanted to say, you know, thank you for your service and thank you for hers as well. Because it's	00:18:53
	not only is it a.	00:18:58
	Of yours, it is a service to the family. Being a police whack as I am, I understand that service and it's a service for the entire	00:19:04
	family.	00:19:08
	So we appreciate all the dedication to of our police officers and their families. And welcome to Waimea.	00:19:12
	And it's, it's always a plus to get a military veteran back on this department, which we want. So we got another Army vet. So we	00:19:25
	appreciate that a lot. Quick photo up here to the council behind you.	00:19:31
	Chief, are you looking?	00:19:54
	Thank you again.	00:20:08
	And my apologies, but.	00:20:11
	Uh, spontaneously a quick surprise for you. You know, we do have one more new Portway TV police officer.	00:20:14
	Is he here, ladies and gentlemen? Introducing George AKA Giorgio, our new police canine.	00:20:21
	Can we this?	00:20:49
	So as you can see, he's a incredibly playful pup, but he hit the streets this week and I didn't want to lose the opportunity	00:20:52
	because he was on agenda to get him in at least say hi. You're seeing him on social media. He's a non apprehension. You know, he	00:20:58
	he is a I search for guns and bombs and bad things. But half the time, honestly, he's been a therapy dog in the station and in the	00:21:04
	hallways. He just loves on everybody and.	00:21:10
	Everybody in the community that's met him loves him, so more to come on him in the future. I just wanted to make sure you all got	00:21:17
	a chance to see him.	00:21:20

	Well, I don't remember the first time I meet a person. Everyone. I remember the first time I met Kevin out at.	00:33:39
	Bubbling Springs Park, where I was.	00:33:45
	Improving my videography skills and gave me some tips and I remember the first time I met George at the pavilion when I was on my	00:33:48
	quest to.	00:33:52
	Find the the skateboarding plans for for the city. And I just wanted I want to say that I I hope to be like you 22 gentlemen, as I	00:33:58
	continue on my on my path to improve as a as a person. So you've you've both definitely earned this award and I'm I'm very happy	00:34:05
	to have you guys receive the winning heroes award. Thank you.	00:34:12
	About a year ago I was helping Kevin celebrate 10 years, I believe over at the Learning Center, 2 years.	00:34:27
	So there were thinking big, thinking big, right here in Wanami.	00:34:35
	So I just want to read a little bit from the speech I did and it these words apply to both Kevin and George. I attended ADSB	00:34:39
	concert at the Ocean View pavilions. Everybody know what DSB stands for?	00:34:45
	What?	00:34:52
	Don't stop believing. Kevin and George never stopped believing in themselves or their community, and that's why they're being	00:34:54
	honored today. And we are so grateful to have these two gentlemen in our community still chasing the dream, still believe in that	00:35:01
	there's good all around us bringing people together to form a better community. We have a wonderful community and it keeps getting	00:35:09
	better because of people like George and Kevin. And I will just want to say to.	00:35:16
	Anyone in the room, the young artists that are here tonight, don't stop believing in yourself. Keep working hard for those goals	00:35:23
	and do good for your community. Thank you.	00:35:29
	The good thing about our Hero Awards, and I think the most special part about Hero Awards, is that their homegrown community	00:35:45
	members who everybody knows because of their enormous contributions to what they bring to this community. We are a small	00:35:52
	community, but we make a huge impact. And George and Kevin are two of those people that have made huge impacts in their community	00:35:59
	that they live in. You've turned your life around, Kevin. You've grown into an enormous and amazing individual.	00:36:06
	And you are such an inspiration to kids.	00:36:13
	Young and old.	00:36:16
	Who might be struggling or need to find their way or need to understand what they can do in their life. You set the perfect	00:36:17
	example of being able to find that dream. Continue pursuing that and showing what that can do. And, and so I thank you for your	00:36:25
	contribution to this community. And George, you do so many things for the senior community, for everyone. And you are such a	00:36:32
	generous heart. And I think this is a perfect example of a true hero award for whiny me. So thank you both for your contribution.	00:36:40
	And so can we have.	00:36:57
	Mr. Frank Montelongo, come up please. He is the police property and evidence supervisor and he'll be giving us the recognition of	00:37:00
	Wyoming Beach Festival poster contest winners. And Frank, before you start and sorry, I specifically told Frank I wouldn't speak	00:37:08
	before, but I'm going to jump in from 1 moment. So we're going to do our Wanami Beach Festival post poster contest winners.	00:37:15
	Normally we would have like a pause so people can can leave, but we promised this item is actually interesting and.	00:37:22
	And that you'll enjoy it. So I would suggest we get through this item and then we can take a maybe a minute break and, and let	00:37:31
	people leave. But before we do that, I just want to give as a plug, a reminder that at the Beach Festival this Saturday, we're,	00:37:38
	we're, we're going to unveil these posters. We're also going to again honor Kevin and George, our heroes at noon on Saturday on	00:37:45
	our mainstage. So everybody who's here today, if you have a chance, I think it's 100°.	00:37:53
	Everywhere but Port Hueneme so, so come on down and hang out at the beach and and we'll get to honor Kevin and and George one more	00:38:00
	time. So and with that, Frank, if you can take it away on the beach posters. Perfect. Good evening, everyone. So continue with the	00:38:06
	theme of the Wyoming Beach Festival and getting youth engagement and youth involvement this year.	00:38:13
	This was so for our high school winner. We had Giselle Magana from My Name High School who was selected for the high school	00:38:50
	student. Is she here?	00:38:54
	And one of the things for the every winter tonight, Lujan Transportation has gracially made a donation for each student to use	00:39:09
	towards school for being a winner of the contest.	00:39:14
	Wait, can we see?	00:39:31
	Yes, oh very nice. Look at that. That is so cool and that is for her to keep as well for you to take home. That is yours.	00:39:38
	14th.	00:39:46
	You're welcome mate.	00:39:50
	For our junior high contestant, it was Aurelia Diaz from Ocean View Junior High.	00:39:57
	She here? Please come up.	00:40:02
	Thank you.	00:40:33
	Turn around, turn around. Let's see.	00:40:34
	Very cute, beautiful, good job.	00:40:37
	Thank you.	00:40:41
	Now for our two elementary school winners, we ended up choosing an upper elementary in a lower elementary student. So for the	00:40:49
	upper elementary, which they might be in junior high now is a Fernando Vasquez from Driftle Elementary.	00:40:55
	Turn around. Oh, oh, yes.	00:41:30
	Good job, Fernando.	00:41:35
	Turn around.	00:41:36
	Can we see?	00:41:41
	Oh my goodness, look at that.	00:41:44
	Good job, it's beautiful.	00:41:47
	And our youngest winner for this contest, Arya Moncada from Saint Anthony School.	00:41:55
	She's so cute.	00:42:04
	Over here, Adri.	00:42:08
	Bring her over here more.	00:42:10
	Yeah.	00:42:14
	Look over here.	00:42:31
	Then some additional information for the contest winners before we bring a backup for one more photo.	00:42:39
	Oh, look at that. Thank you so much.	00:42:45
	So beautiful.	00:42:48
	So for all of their artwork, if you go to wanamibeachfestival.org, which we launched a brand new website for the beach festival,	00:42:58
	now it's under the cities website, all of their artwork is displayed as the contestant winners.	00:43:04
	Later on this week or next week, we're going to get all of these images up as well. They've been digitized.	00:43:10
	JPEG. So we're going to get them in a carousel. And another fun fact, besides Luhan Transport making a donation, the Port of Wine	00:43:16
	EMI with their community care is also stepped up to be a partner. And they are going to provide all the banners that will be hung	00:43:22
	at the Wanami Beach Festival. With all this art we digitize on the banners, all the art we destroyed.	00:43:28
	OK.	00:43:36
	So if we could just get all the winners back up one more time so we get a group photo, I'd appreciate it.	00:43:40
	And let's all stand.	00:43:44
	Yeah.	00:43:49
	Did anyone get in?	00:44:00
	Thank you everyone.	00:44:24
	OK, you're all released to go now.	00:44:38
	That concludes.	00:44:42
	The fun part of the council meeting.	00:44:42
	But you can all stay if you like.	00:44:45
	Yeah, it's going to take a moment to get everything out.	00:44:49
	All right.	00:45:28
	So you so.	00:45:35
	Yeah.	00:45:48

	Lena. Lena.	00:46:18

	Right away.	00:46:36
	You too. Thanks.	00:46:44
	I wanted you to take a picture. What's for you?	00:47:10
	Mommy. Mommy.	00:47:43

	Now who's mom? Your mom. And this is Auntie, OK?	00:50:36
	I got all come out. I know that's right. Yeah. Great job. Great job.	00:50:42
	How was your first day at school?	00:50:49
	We're always there.	00:51:32
	Oh yeah.	00:51:51
	A really great person.	00:52:41
	Yeah.	00:53:50
	I'm going to hit my gavel here in a minute.	00:54:27
	Come on.	00:54:34
	Hi, I would like to call this meeting back to order. Please anyone staying please have a seat. If you're not get.	00:54:48
	Never mind.	00:54:56
	Just kidding.	00:54:58
	I think my daughter wants to go home.	00:55:00
	Now this is more like it.	00:55:05
	Hold on one moment.	00:55:13
	Mr. Rollins in the back.	00:55:20
	Could you please shut that door?	00:55:22
	David, thank you.	00:55:24
	OK, we're going to move on to the consent calendar, but I first a few words from our city attorney.	00:55:33
	Good evening, Madam Mayor.	00:55:39
	Council members and staff. I, for one, I'm really glad to see the crowd has thinned out because I want to correct something that I	00:55:41
	did during the July 15 meeting. During that meeting, a motion was made by one of the council members and I sustained that motion.	00:55:48
	I should have overruled it. So I just want to correct that.	00:55:55
	Thank you. Can you be more specific?	00:56:02
	No, not at this time.	00:56:05
	OK. Thank you.	00:56:08
	That's too bad. So we will now consider items on the consent calendar, which will be enacted in one motion and let's a council	00:56:09
	member has a request to remove an item for discussion. Does any council member have any items they'd like to pull?	00:56:16
	I would like, yeah.	00:56:23
	I'd like to pull the minute.	00:56:24
	OK, so we'll pull item number 4. For the record, may I have a motion to approve items 5 through?	00:56:27
	11 Motion to Approve Items 5311.	00:56:34
	2nd Madam Clerk.	00:56:37
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	00:56:41
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:56:44
	Council Member Hernandez.	00:56:47
	OK, just give me a second here to find.	00:56:49
	OK, so this is in reference to what the city attorney was just referring to. I think the minutes didn't quite reflect that. When	00:56:56
	Councilman Gama made the point of order, I had indicated that it was not a point of order because he his statements did not	00:57:04
	demonstrate that it was a point of order and the city attorney had decided to.	00:57:12
	Allow him to continue. So her correction had to do with the fact that.	00:57:21
	A point of order has to do with a procedure that's not being followed. It doesn't have to do with a rebuttal of what somebody else	00:57:27
	is saying, which was what happened at the last meeting. So that's the the minutes didn't quite capture that. So thank you. That	00:57:34
	correction could be somewhat made in the minutes. I'd appreciate it.	00:57:42
	Any further discussion on this item?	00:57:50
	I thought the minutes were pulled to discuss.	00:57:54
	So is there something I missed? Something here?	00:57:57
	It just asked for a correction to the minutes.	00:58:01
	To reflect the discussion, the correct discussion.	00:58:04
	Where would that correction be?	00:58:07
	Joan gave it. Our city attorney gave it before the consent calendar was called.	00:58:09
	Which would be reflected in the amended minutes, correct Is what is the process for this if Council decides to amend the minutes,	00:58:14
	Yes. So we're going to have a motion to approve that correction for the record.	00:58:21
	And a second.	00:58:28
	Do I have a motion to approve item?	00:58:30
	So moved.	00:58:33
	A second, I have a point of clarification.	00:58:34
	I think the question is to amend the minutes. Can it be identified where the amendment in the meeting minutes are and what does it	00:58:37
	supposed to say?	00:58:43
	I think it's going to say that I incorrectly asked for a point of order.	00:58:50
	Chris, perfect.	00:58:56
	I'll accept that in my motion.	00:58:58
	OK, let me let me ask a question again.	00:59:02
	So I'm looking at the minutes and can you just identify where that correction is to be made in the minutes? And the reason why I	00:59:04
	brought it up is because we pulled the minutes and we didn't discuss the minutes. So that's why I brought it up. So yeah, I'm	00:59:11
	trying to find the, I'm trying to find my minutes. I thought I made the notation here.	00:59:17
	Georgiana, can you assist?	00:59:25
	Let me pull that up.	00:59:29
	I'm OK with the correction and you know, if we can move on for time purposes, I think we all agree.	00:59:35
	I inappropriately made a request and it was sustained and it should have been overruled.	00:59:41
	That is correct. OK.	00:59:48
	I should have overruled it.	00:59:50
	Yes, I have a simple question. I didn't remember seeing it in the minutes. Is that reflected in the minutes?	00:59:52
	Oh, I found it OK. It's under business items.	00:59:58
	What is it a #9 of 12?	01:00:01
	I remember it was during the discussion. OK so discussion followed. Council member Gama called a point of order. Council member	01:00:05
	Hernandez requested that she not be interrupted and allowed to finish her thought. So it should be that she that council and my	01:00:13
	name spelled wrong. Council member Hernandez pointed out that the IT was not a point of order and the.	01:00:21
	City Attorney.	01:00:30
	Sustained improperly sustained the point of order. Thank you.	01:00:32
	OK. So we have a motion. Is the motion acceptable as is? Yes.	01:00:39
	We have a second, second. OK Can I have a?	01:00:44
	Vote please. All in favor Aye. All opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you.	01:00:47
	Moving on to public hearings, the first public hearing will be to adopt A resolution granting Special Use permit #1124 to allow	01:00:56
	the Port of Wayne Amy Oxen Harbor District to host the 11th annual Port of Waimea Banana Festival and find the event exempt from	01:01:02
	sequa. Madam Clerk, do you have proof and publication as required by law and a complete file of reports and exhibits? Yes, Madam	01:01:08
	Mayor, thank you. Will staff please present the report?	01:01:14
	Good evening Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council up before you tonight as read in the agenda the Port of Wanami, Oxnard Harbor	01:01:26
	District, 11th Annual Port of Waimi Festival Special Use Permit 11-24.	01:01:35
	So the request is to hold the Port Hueneme or who hold a an event known as the 11th annual Port of Waimea Banana Festival.	01:01:46
	In its standard location that has been done before, which is the Sunkist lot inside of the port of Winami. As has been done with	01:02:00
	previous years, the festival will include various other components. One thing to note about this year's is that there is a static	01:02:05
	vintage car show.	01:02:11
	That is being proposed along with over 70 food and retail vendors, a recreational children's area, live art exhibit area, alcohol	01:02:17
	booths, entertainment in a mainstage, commercial and industrial mechanical equipment exhibits and the equipment will be out on	01:02:24
	display for the general public to view some of the items that the port uses, as well as land and boat port tours and general	01:02:32
	information booths. The festival is set to.	01:02:39
	For on Saturday, September 28th from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and it's approximated that 10,000 participants will be there.	01:02:47
	So this item is being brought to you for a couple of reasons here. The main reasons being that there is live entertainment that is	01:02:57
	going to be part of the event. There is also closure of public streets adjacent to the Wanami Beach Park and request for free	01:03:06
	parking for this event. This event is considered exempt under Sequim as the event will be minor.	01:03:14
	And temporary as part of a land use.	01:03:23
	Here we see the proposed festival site plan. I would like to focus on the right side there as far as where the roads are going to	01:03:27
	be closed and the static car show will take place that's outlined in green. So that area would be used as staging for these for	01:03:33
	the cars to be on display. The cars will be on display for the duration of the festival and they will not be allowed to move the	01:03:40
	vehicles in order to provide safety.	01:03:46
	Speaking about Rd. closures, there will be a hard closure on Surfside Drive.	01:03:54
	Located there SE on the corner there were page 4 is and with that it will still allow vehicles to enter and exit Surfside one. And	01:04:00
	then if we move up north, there's going to be a long Market Street. There's going to be two entrances into the festival. One will	01:04:08
	be on the South side, which will be the general entry point and then on the north you'll see in yellow will be the VIP entrance on	01:04:15
	that specific corner of Seaview.	01:04:22
	And market there will be a soft closure. The purpose of that is to continue to allow the Anacapa View Beach homes to have access	01:04:30
	to their main entrance. Moving to the left side is the main festival map. It has retained some of its original layout where the	01:04:37
	security checkpoint will happen on two sections, one in the VIP area and then the other for the general public, which is a little	01:04:45
	bit larger to accommodate the crowds. Left of that will be the kids recreational area.	01:04:52
	In the middle, you'll see that there's various vendors and exhibits that have been scattered all throughout so that people have.	01:05:00
	A chance to sort of view everything and and just have a leisure travel exploring the exhibits and the vendors throughout the	01:05:08
	location.	01:05:13
	On the northwest side will be the mainstage and along the South area will be food vendors, various portable restroom areas. And	01:05:18
	another thing to note would be that on the northeast corner via next to the VIP area entrance will be the poured tours that will	01:05:25
	be on a first come first serve basis.	01:05:33
	The car show and entertainment so static car show. It's approximated that 130 vintage vehicles will be on display once again,	01:05:44
	they'll be along Market Street and Surfside Drive. Display vehicles will be arranged and parked before the festival and will be on	01:05:51
	display until the conclusion of the festival. There will be an award show planned to occur at 3:30 PM and entertainment is still	01:05:58
	being finalized but will be available on the main website for the Banana Festival.	01:06:05
	Security.	01:06:13
	Galleon, a protective service, will provide security for the event and we'll have 15U guards stationed in and around the site. All	01:06:15
	guests will be screened by security before entering the festival grounds and the Port Hueneme Police Department staff will also be	01:06:20
	available to handle any escalating issues.	01:06:26
	Traffic Control As previously mentioned, Market Street will be closed South of Anacapa View Beach Homes driveway with a soft	01:06:34
	closure on the corner of Seaview St. and Market Street to allow access for those community members on Anacapa View Beach Homes.	01:06:42
	And once again Surfside Drive will be closed West of Surfside Ones main entrance.	01:06:51
	The street closures are set to commence on Saturday, September 28th, the date of the event from 4:00 AM and will reopen back to	01:06:57
	the general public by 6:00 PM. The Port Hueneme Police Department and the Port Hueneme Police Explorers will utilize will be	01:07:04
	utilized at key crossings and vehicular turn around areas to aid in the different vehicular mobility changes. Temporary	01:07:12
	directional signs and two digital signs which will be located on Ventura at Clara St. and Ventura Rd. at Port Hueneme Rd.	01:07:19
	Will be used to aid festival guests and in residents, letting them know of the circulation changes and where to park and whatnot.	01:07:27
	It's encouraged that persons that can walk to the event. Another sustainability and mitigation measure to avoid the lack of	01:07:36
	parking is rideshare. Rideshare pick up and drop off loading area will be provided at 105 E Fort Wayne Rd. and parking will be	01:07:45
	made available for free and all of the Wanami Beach parking lots which include.	01:07:53
	ABCE and along Ocean View and Surfside Drive.	01:08:02
	Accessible parking and one hour parking for Surfside Seafood patrons will be available in parking Lot AIM and in order to aid and	01:08:05
	getting the festival goers to their destination, a free ADA compliant shuttle will be provided with pickup locations from all	01:08:12
	beach parking lots from 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM.	01:08:20
	The fiscal impact.	01:08:29
	Because the event will be featuring free parking, beach parking revenues will not be collected for beach parking lots and the cost	01:08:32
	to cover city staffing of the event, police officers, maintenance crews, etcetera, will also occur.	01:08:39
	Strategic plan consistency there's 2IN alignment with optimal levels of service for residents and businesses. Support an	01:08:48
	established programs and events that create a strong sense of community pride and connection to our history in our heritage.	01:08:54
	Innovative and opportunity Innovation and opportunity retain and maximize opportunities for local businesses as the backbone of	01:09:00
	our community.	01:09:06
	It is now recommended that the City Council adopt A resolution that conditionally approves Special Use Permit 1124 and finds the	01:09:14
	project to be categorically examined from Sequel.	01:09:20
	Before I take on any questions, actually Randy Latimer, Director for the Banana Festival Committee, is here to go ahead and give a	01:09:27
	brief presentation.	01:09:31
	Good evening, Mayor. Mayor Pro Tem.	01:09:41
	Honorable City Council members, my name is Randy Latimer. I'm I have the honor of being selected as the director for the ports	01:09:44
	Banana festival. This is my second year and it's just not me as as if anyone's ever put on a festival or participated or	01:09:53
	volunteered. And we do need volunteers. I do have a team. First of all, we have the port port commissioner.	01:10:01
	Selena and Drew here and I have also two of my team members here.	01:10:10
	My lovely wife, assistant back here and Miss Ellenette, you can hear her on the radio every morning.	01:10:16
	But that's just part of my team because it does take a village to run a festival. This year's festival, pretty much the same as if	01:10:25
	you did not make last year's festival. Please come out on September 28th. It's going to be amazing. First of all, it's free. It's	01:10:32
	free to the public, free shuttles, free parking, free entry, free music.	01:10:40
	And our we are enhancing a lot of the features of the festival this year. One of the things we're really, really focusing on is	01:10:49
	making sure that the public knows all the amazing things that goes on at the port. I've been in Oxnard and Port Hueneme. I went to	01:10:56
	Wayne High School.	01:11:02
	And this is my 59th year.	01:11:10
	In this community and I really didn't know what went on at the port until I became involved with the port. I'm like, Oh my gosh,	01:11:13
	this is such an amazing event that everyone should should be a part of. And once again, it's free. So if you if you aren't doing	01:11:21
	anything Saturday the 28th, you should come out to the festival.	01:11:29
	To support the the ports.	01:11:39
	Clean air initiatives, we have something very special that we're working on to have a most festivals you go to and I've been to a	01:11:42
	lot over the last three months.	01:11:48
	You hear a loud generators, you hear. You smell gas, you hear diesel. We're working with a firm this year to really enhance the	01:11:57
	ports initiative of clean energy by using 0 emission vehicles and generators to power everything at the port at the festival,	01:12:05
	meaning the mainstage. Instead of hearing this loud generator, you'll hear nothing.	01:12:14
	You know you will not. The goal is to not hear or smell a generator.	01:12:23
	At all and to support the clean air initiative that the port is really supporting. So that's I'm really excited. I got really	01:12:28
	geeked out when I got a call from the power company that would that's gonna work with us on supplying this. We have a lot of	01:12:36
	vendors. Most of our demographic comes from the local community and most of our vendors come from our local community. We believe	01:12:43
	in the port believes in giving back to the community.	01:12:51
	And supporting local business. So this is a great opportunity for retail, food vendors and this businesses, businesses and our	01:12:58
	community to get a that one day a year the port really opens up and shows exactly how they give back. Another thing that we have,	01:13:08
	we have banana beer again, so those of you who do partake in there, we have banana beer, a local beer Brewing Company.	01:13:18
	Supplying that one of our sponsors and we are, we're, we're having once again, I think 2 versions this year of banana beer. So	01:13:28
	live music, great entertainment, once again local and it's just going to be a fun great time. We have a local gentleman, Ralph	01:13:38
	Casius, who's supporting us with the car show. We have over 130 vehicles that are going to be at the vintage car show.	01:13:48
	As you walk into the festival, you're going to be greeted with with these amazing cars. So our plan is to have the a full day of	01:13:58
	fun. We have boat tours, we have a double Decker bus taking these land tours and once again, those are very popular attractions	01:14:06
	and they're free.	01:14:13
	So I can keep going on and on and on, but you guys have a whole, you have an entire meeting to go. But I do want to show a video.	01:14:22
	Last year's festival. So if you did not go last year, this is what you will experience this year.	01:14:28
	And lastly, yes, Miss Chiquita Banana will be.	01:16:04
	Are you having a whiny PD do the dunk take again this year?	01:16:09
	Or a new a new person.	01:16:13
	I think they left just because they knew that you're going to ask that question. That was my husband in that duct tape. So he	01:16:16
	earned a lot of money that day for you guys.	01:16:20
	All right, does Council have any questions?	01:16:27
	The question, the first, a couple of comments, if I may. Of course, yeah.	01:16:29
	Randy, thank you so much for your presentation. Thank you Jose, also for your introduction on what the festival is going to.	01:16:34
	Involved I want to tell you how impressed I am with your plan. Has enough former emergency planner and a planner at heart.	01:16:41
	It is so well put together, beginning with the event overview. You've got crowd management, handling of pets, lost people, crowd	01:16:51
	control, medical first aid, how to deal with unruly gas, emergency evacuations. You've you've covered all the bases, all the	01:16:59
	contingencies. So I wanted to say thank you. It's really a well put together plan. There was one.	01:17:07
	Thing I noticed that was happening that day, and I don't know if it was on your radar, but the 805 Patriots are planning a 9/11	01:17:17
	drive or ride from Malibu through Wineeme to Oxnard.	01:17:22
	And I don't know if it's on your radar, but you might want to check out their traffic plan. I don't know if the chief is aware of	01:17:29
	it either, but they're they're planning on driving through. Driving through. Yeah, but that's actually doing our our festival, not	01:17:35
	not yours. Sorry. Yeah. So a plan put together by.	01:17:42
	Anyway, good plan. Thank you. It sounds like a plan put together by a former law enforcement officer.	01:17:49
	Just a couple of years.	01:17:58
	Any other questions? Yeah, no question, but a comment. Thank you so much for your presentation and as Councilwoman Hernandez said,	01:18:00
	for your, your your brief, everything. I read it and there was no questions that came up after that, so I appreciate that. The	01:18:06
	other thing I would say is that I am very excited for the Banana Fest. I did go last year. I've been years before that and I think	01:18:12
	last year was probably the best one that I've ever been to. And I know you had something to do with that and I know even prior to	01:18:18
	that you were doing.	01:18:24
	Security and things like that. But I am so excited that the port and trusted in you and your company to to support this effort and	01:18:30
	I am excited about it. Thank you. Thank you. May I have the same feelings as my 2 council members here? So there's only one issue	01:18:39
	that I see and I believe we had a person come complain about the direction, the way the sound travels.	01:18:48
	And I believe we indicated to that person that we're going to now in the future direct.	01:18:58
	The sound away from the buildings. And I don't see that in this plan. And it's not your fault, but it's something that we know	01:19:04
	about. But I thought that we kind of said that was for our festival. No. Yes, it was. She was complaining about amplificated	01:19:12
	music. Yeah, she she had complained about amplified sound across a couple of events, primarily.	01:19:20
	In the location further away from the port and closer to like the Alaska Memorial for example.	01:19:30
	So in that area, all of the projects that we're going through, we're making sure to work with the applicants to have them identify	01:19:38
	facing the music away. In this case, we did work with them to identify that. And it's in the plan that they will monitor sound	01:19:44
	levels utilizing a decibel meter and communicate with Port Hueneme PD regarding any sound concerns or complaints. But because of	01:19:50
	the location of it and the fact that the speakers are going to be way back in the port, but we didn't require them, I could hear	01:19:56
	very clearly.	01:20:01
	Backyard during the Banana festival, which doesn't bother me.	01:20:07
	But I thought perhaps if it was angled out towards the ocean that might.	01:20:11
	Eliminate the vibe. What do they call it?	01:20:16
	Echo chamber type thing that comes through the Anyways, I just want to make sure that we're.	01:20:19
	Holding up our end. Or I think we did make some kind of commitment to the lady. Actually, I can.	01:20:26
	We we did take proactive measures this year to actually change our sound system from what we used last year. We use a very large	01:20:34
	sound system last year that wasn't really compatible with the what we wanted to do. So we purposely brought in a smaller system.	01:20:43
	So you can actually talk during the festival and have conversations like in our VIP area.	01:20:52
	So I don't think you'll get the if, if there was any reverberation or base or anything, I don't think we'll get that this year.	01:20:58
	And the speakers on the mainstage are actually faced in a.	01:21:06
	Eastern more in the southern direction away from any of the houses. So there you'll get ambient noise. But like I said, this year,	01:21:15
	we won't even have the effect of that we had last year, which I didn't have many complaints about it. We we will have a a ADJ out	01:21:23
	on the in the car show area, but that's more lower, lower music more for.	01:21:32
	Atmosphere than anything else.	01:21:42
	Where the main show was going on, the main part of the festival was going on in the sun kissed lot surrounded by walls and you. We	01:21:44
	should not get very very much ambient noise outside of the festival.	01:21:50
	Thank you. So we will move on to the public hearing. The public hearing is now open, the time being 7:52 PM. Madam Clerk, are	01:21:58
	there any public comments regarding this item? We have no public comments. Thank you. So I will conclude the public input, the	01:22:04
	time being 7:52 PM.	01:22:11
	And we will.	01:22:19
	We have a force, a recommendation to adopt A resolution approving Special use permit #11-24 Banana Festival and find the project	01:22:21
	special use permit #11-24 to be categorically exempt from SEQUA and to take such additional related action that may be desirable.	01:22:28
	May I have a motion and a second motion to approve the recommendations?	01:22:34
	Thank you. Kind of a second, second perfect. Any further discussion regarding this item?	01:22:41
	Seeing none, Madam Clerk.	01:22:47
	I'm going to take a roll call vote because it's public hearing council member Gama.	01:22:49
	Yes, Councilmember Hernandez. Yes. Councilmember Martinez. Yes. Mayor Pro Tem McLean Legend. Yes. And Mayor Perez. Yes. Motion	01:22:53
	passes unanimously. Thank you. Congratulations.	01:22:58
	We will now be moving on to business items. The first business item is the designation of voting delegate and alternate for the	01:23:06
	2024 League of California City's Annual Conference.	01:23:12
	May we have the report please? Yes, thank you. And it'll be very brief. I think we've all.	01:23:18
	Gone through this in the past. It's a yearly item, so we're probably familiar with it. But just the basic background is that each	01:23:26
	year at the League of California Cities Annual Conference, which is being held this year from October 16th to 18th in Long Beach,	01:23:32
	on the last day of the conference, the League of Cities holds a General Assembly where city officials can vote on the development	01:23:38
	of Cal Cities policies.	01:23:44
	And so each year when they do this, they ask each city.	01:23:51
	To identify a voting delegate and up to two alternates to attend and vote on behalf of the City Council. And so each year we go	01:23:56
	through this process.	01:24:00
	And it's that time of year again. So the event is next month. Currently we have two council members who we understand are planning	01:24:07
	to participate, Council member Hernandez and council member Gama So.	01:24:13
	Logically it seems one of them would be the voting member and one would be the alternate, but it's ultimately up to council to	01:24:20
	designate. So the items on the agenda to allow council to to designate those positions. Thank you. Does council have any	01:24:25
	questions?	01:24:30
	Or comments? I have a question, I guess. Can we confirm that Councilman Gama was the?	01:24:35
	Primary last year you were not. I recall that he had to leave.	01:24:43
	Call that conversation and I don't think it was pulled from the agenda. So there wasn't anything to vote on so.	01:24:48
	Last year. So who was the last year? I believe you were the delegate and Councilmember Gomo was the alternate because you two were	01:24:55
	also the only ones attending. OK.	01:25:00
	Any further?	01:25:07
	Questions or comments?	01:25:08
	OK. So then we are there any public comments regarding this item? No public comments. Thank you.	01:25:12
	So there's a number of issues to vote on. So will we as a council, I don't want to vote what I think. I want to vote the will of	01:25:46
	the council. And so how do we go through that process to see what the will of the council is? Because it, it, it otherwise it's,	01:25:53
	you know what I think. And I'm pretty sure we all don't agree all the time.	01:26:00
	Well, what we normally, if I may, what we normally vote on, because I've gone every year since I've been on the City Council.	01:26:08
	Are not.	01:26:14
	Issues on necessarily on our legislative agenda, but they have issues to do with the organization and the bylaws of the California	01:26:16
	League of Cities. Well, do we have a list of those issues so that well there are issues related to bylaws. So I don't know that we	01:26:23
	would have it would be something that this council would be necessarily concerned about because we're members of the California	01:26:31
	League of Cities and I can attest to that being a voting delegate before it wasn't anything pertaining to.	01:26:38
	Something we would be concerned about specifically for our city, it was about the organization of the California League of Cities.	01:26:47
	So regardless of who votes, it doesn't really matter.	01:26:51
	And I will note that we do every year and I believe this year again, ask them for the information on what's going to be voted on	01:26:57
	beforehand because we would like to include that and, and, and kind of let everybody see what it is. And every year now,	01:27:04
	especially the last few years, they don't have that ready and I believe we have, but I do believe I recall there was an issue	01:27:10
	where.	01:27:16
	Everyone was against it. Or was that something?	01:27:24
	No, that was a.	01:27:27
	It was again, it was an internal administrative issue not pertaining to, but in terms like like sending a letter to the governor	01:27:29
	asking him to end the Adu legislation. There's nothing like that in this. No, not typically. And I would say if there was, I would	01:27:36
	just remind everybody we haven't adopted legislative platform and to vote consistent with that adopted legislative platform. So	01:27:43
	what I'm hearing is, is there is no prep work just.	01:27:50
	Council Member.	01:27:58
	I'm assuming it's gonna either be one of you 2. Does anybody really, really want it?	01:27:59
	I'm happy to do it.	01:28:04
	But I was the primary last year or so and I don't have a problem with that comma.	01:28:07
	I'm fine either way. I mean, if the key is it's on Friday, I believe it's the last, it's the last day, the last thing. So the	01:28:12
	question is is, you know, are we going to I'll be there till the end, but all right, well, can I make a motion to designate	01:28:17
	council member?	01:28:22
	Laura Hernandez as our voting delegate and Councilmember Gama. Steven Gama is our alternate for the 2024 League of California	01:28:29
	Cities Annual Conference. Do you have a second? Oh, OK, All in favor? Aye. All opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:28:35
	Thank you.	01:28:41
	The next item on the agenda is the Community Benefit Fund 2024 project list.	01:28:49
	Will staff please present the report? Yes, thank you. And we'll pull a slide up here in a moment that shows some of the specific	01:28:55
	projects we're going to be discussing. But in the meantime, just a little bit of background. I think everybody on council knows	01:29:02
	it, but maybe more for the benefit of the the public is that we talk about community benefit fund frequently. And just to remind	01:29:10
	people of what that is, it was a fund created in our 2015 agreement with the the port in the city of Port Hueneme.	01:29:17
	And it essentially allocates $100,000 from the port annually to a fund called the Community Benefit Fund that is to be used for	01:29:25
	mutually agreeable projects. And as part of that, the agreement actually established a joint city port committee that has the	01:29:35
	mayor, mayor Pro Tem and myself with the port president, port vice president and port chief.	01:29:45
	Executive Officer to work together each year.	01:29:55
	To identify the projects I.	01:29:59
	That.	01:30:03
	It's the second presentation, the other.	01:30:05
	To identify the projects that.	01:30:08
	To identify the projects that.	01:30:15
	Are to be funded each year from the Community Benefit Fund and so this year.	01:30:18
	We do expect to have about $143,000 allocated.	01:30:24
	Per the last meeting with the Joint Port Committee, we've gone a few steps through this process. We've already had initial council	01:30:29
	review, we've had ACAC review. And we'll note now that the next item is more focused on being responsive to the CA CS review where	01:30:37
	essentially the, the CAC, the Citizen Advisory Commission identified some process improvements that they want to recommend. And so	01:30:44
	they didn't really end up recommending specific projects this year, but the it's already.	01:30:52
	Gone to the City Council, gone to the CAC, gone to the joint city port committee. And I think for the most part we've identified	01:30:59
	joint projects that we want to work on. I think the report notes about $113,000 and.	01:31:08
	In projects for this year and then there's $30,000 approximately left to identify. And at that point when we identified that	01:31:18
	$30,000 gap, the port essentially decided are the city and the port each decided that the joint committees would go back to the	01:31:27
	council and the board and get direction and feedback on those items. So.	01:31:35
	As the report notes, the only two items we discussed.	01:31:45
	Are the two items that we ended up discussing with the port at the joint committee meeting was a public safety allocation and a	01:31:48
	mental health?	01:31:52
	Allocation, So the report notes that that could be funding towards the Health and Wellness Festival.	01:31:56
	To for the mental health aspect and then funding for the canine program for the public safety aspect. But again, the consensus was	01:32:04
	to go back to the council with those suggestions and get council direction and council feedback. So we'll pull up in a moment here	01:32:11
	the list of the $113,000 projects.	01:32:18
	And then really the key question tonight would be whether the council agrees with those and then wants to provide direction on	01:32:25
	that $30,000 difference to go back to the joint committee. So thank you. Does Council have any questions for staff?	01:32:33
	I do.	01:32:43
	So at the last port Commission meeting, there was a discussion regarding the 30,000, at which point the port had recommended that	01:32:45
	that 30,000 be used for the implementation of the economic development plan. I don't know if you were listening in on that	01:32:53
	discussion. The chief was there, maybe he caught that, but.	01:33:01
	I was there, but I wasn't there representing the city, so I didn't report back on that until today.	01:33:11
	And I believe Martha, you were there, you heard that right. So it was one suggestion. Well, yeah, it was, but the Commission	01:33:17
	approved it. So I'm just saying that that that's their position is to put that $30,000 now into the economic Development Fund. I	01:33:26
	also wanted to ask when we, when did with the Council have an opportunity to discuss?	01:33:35
	The public safety project and providing funding for the city's canine and now that we have a canine is it's still necessary. I	01:33:44
	don't frankly don't remember us discussing that as a council. So how it ended up on the agenda, I'm not sure.	01:33:53
	Do you have a comment regarding that?	01:34:03
	Yes. So as it relates to yes, I was there at the the the port board meeting and I think we were, we were the only two that were	01:34:06
	there. And so the conversation, I don't think there's been a decision on whether to do it or not use the money for the areas of	01:34:13
	economic.	01:34:19
	Economic development, The areas that came out of our economic development plan, specifically Market Street.	01:34:27
	And so I think the, and we have the president here if she wants to say something.	01:34:35
	What was said was there there was a motion that they look at the last $33,000 to see if it can align with some items in the city's	01:34:42
	economic development plan, since that has been identified as important because it was in our economic development plan and the	01:34:50
	decision was to.	01:34:58
	To possibly use that $33,000 to hire someone to look at what possibly can be done in that area. The decision wasn't made to do	01:35:09
	that. It was. It was for one of the commissioners to come back with clarified a clarified path forward.	01:35:20
	That was.	01:35:34
	I'm more confused than ever. So it was a suggestion. It was a suggestion. Is it on our list because it wasn't finalized? The	01:35:36
	public safety aspect came from. That was actually one of the recommendations from one of the port commissioners. That was his	01:35:44
	request to put it on there. And it was an agreement of city staff or city to do the same, to add that into the.	01:35:51
	List. So you has representatives agreed to it, but I'm saying it was has not went back to each.	01:35:59
	It's now to the council to decide and I don't know about that proposal. I will just note that we actually had proposed an economic	01:36:06
	development project 1st and it was not supported at the meeting. So, so I have not heard that that's, you know, being explored	01:36:12
	again so.	01:36:18
	I'm a the.	01:36:24
	I think the process, having 2 council members that are in two commissioners there, I think that's a flawed process because.	01:36:28
	Because we don't.	01:36:37
	I mean there it's just wrought with brown act possible problems. But you know, how do we.	01:36:39
	How do we discuss something that's already been discussed, but then we can't agree with what's been discussed? I mean, shouldn't	01:36:48
	we?	01:36:51
	Get something in writing. I mean, I'm just confused.	01:36:55
	If you don't mind. So I hear you, Councilmember Gama, but I don't think that I could say at this point that having two city	01:36:59
	representatives and having two commissioners on the committee that that is doomed for failure. Well, I can't communicate to to any	01:37:06
	of our representatives unless we have a meeting like this. I understand what you're saying, but what I'm saying is that I think	01:37:12
	anytime you try to move through through.	01:37:19
	With trying to.	01:37:26
	I'm trying not to say process because we don't have a process.	01:37:29
	And I think that's the problem. It's not the problem with the committee is the problem that there is no process. So we find	01:37:32
	ourselves going back and forth.	01:37:36
	So luckily we're going to have a process and we're not going to be doing that in the past, I mean in the future. So, so I think	01:37:41
	we're doing what we're doing now and I think we've always done this right because we have not had a process.	01:37:47
	So I think we're in a good place and that we're going to be talking about that tonight. But in the meantime, I will say in the	01:37:53
	last.	01:37:57
	In the last city port meeting, I'm not going to take the.	01:38:01
	Under former mayor, but we did ask the question, are all the other items are you in agreement with and they said yes. So we're	01:38:04
	really talking about the 33.	01:38:09
	$33,000 right. But as we go down the list, there's improvements we can make a.	01:38:15
	And for example, cats, a cradle, you know, we funded them several years ago with the.	01:38:23
	Anticipation that they were going to be working on the cats at the port and find out that that's not happening. So it's improved.	01:38:30
	Well, hold on, Why would we continue to to support something that when they're not even addressing the the cat population?	01:38:39
	Recommending.	01:38:49
	They still show up. We had provided a list of all prior allocations and that was on there from before. Yeah, the list was very	01:38:52
	difficult for me to interpret. I'm looking for a list.	01:38:57
	Well, they had it up on the on the screen, but it was difficult to see what was approved and what is still to be done.	01:39:03
	It is right here, page two of five on your staff report. It's on your screen now too. It just took us. There you go. Thank you.	01:39:09
	So these are the ones that have been agreed to.	01:39:17
	And so we brought those also to these have already come back to the council once and gone back to the joint committee. It's really	01:39:20
	the $30,000 that hasn't been decided yet. So do we have two?	01:39:26
	Things to do tonight, approve this and then discuss the 33. Is that our mission tonight? Yeah, that would be the mission. And then	01:39:34
	that would allow us to go back to the Joint Port committee at the next joint meeting and tell them we have an approved list and	01:39:41
	see if they have an approved list and and then go from there so.	01:39:47
	Yes, OK.	01:39:54
	So I'd like to make a motion that we approve the proposed project list as it stands.	01:39:57
	On the screen.	01:40:04
	Do we have a second?	01:40:06
	I will second that motion, Madam Clerk.	01:40:08
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	01:40:12
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:40:15
	So the next step we should do is talk about what we want to do with the remainder of the 30,000.	01:40:19
	I have a question on the the mental health. I don't remember discussing mental health, but if it's had to do with the health and	01:40:26
	Wellness there, then yeah, I do recall us discussing that. So one of the issues I have with some of the projects and, and the	01:40:33
	process, because we we have a process, it's that it that hasn't been working well is that projects get placed on the list without	01:40:41
	much thought on how they're going to be implemented so.	01:40:48
	Like to know how what?	01:40:56
	This health and Wellness item is about and, and how we expect it will be implemented. So for the mental health portion of that is	01:40:57
	completely separate from the health and Wellness. That was a suggestion by President Selena Zacharias to come up with an agency or	01:41:05
	a local nonprofit or some some sort of project for mental health. Since none was allocated, we decided.	01:41:13
	Not to move forward with that since there hasn't been any.	01:41:22
	Names being given or any local nonprofits that we could put that forth. So there's two items then well under this category, mental	01:41:25
	health, it's the health and Wellness fair and then a nonprofit's.	01:41:31
	That was yes, that was the suggestion by.	01:41:39
	OK.	01:41:42
	I see an item that says annual health and Wellness fair Run for your Heart 5K that that's being funded. So there's another	01:41:44
	category under mental health that's not on this list. So this is the list of items that are ready to be approved.	01:41:52
	And then separately when we met with the port, we talked about two other categories for the remaining $30,000 and one of those	01:42:01
	categories is mental health. And does anybody have any support requested was mental health and so.	01:42:07
	We had said we didn't have any specific suggestions. So when we talked about it as staff, we said if we allocated some more money	01:42:14
	towards the health and Wellness fair, then we can bring in some resources focused on mental health. So that's one option that	01:42:22
	we've identified. But you know, it's, it's totally the council's option. And if the council says that's not something interesting,	01:42:29
	I would suggest that I think that's perfect. We have a health, an annual health and Wellness fair and you know the.	01:42:37
	Body is physical health and mental health, so I think it's a perfect venue for additional dollars.	01:42:44
	To have a mental health section in our annual health and Wellness fair. So then yes, so the specifically speaking when that was	01:42:51
	brought up, that wasn't specified, but it's optional. So that was just a suggestion. We can always add that.	01:43:00
	Address the goal that the port had, you know, trying to trying to be collaborative. I have a question regarding previous funding	01:43:11
	which might affect my.	01:43:16
	Vote on this is what happened to, I know that we were short with on the mural funding and you were looking for additional funding	01:43:22
	so that we met that $50,000 amount. Are we able to find that? So it's not that we're short, it's that originally the 50,000, it	01:43:30
	was thought that that would be enough to do essentially 3 murals. And the reality is it's not enough to do 3 murals so that we	01:43:37
	have the $50,000 funded, but that's not going to be.	01:43:44
	Funding to do 33 murals so wait wait wait wait so the the mural that we're doing for the library was 30,000 and other costs that	01:43:52
	that that weren't planned for and budgeted for things like site prep work the OK so the so the additional 20,000 that's there is	01:44:02
	going to go for funding the maintenance and the site prep of the mural because even just.	01:44:12
	Like people maybe wouldn't think of, but if somebody graffitis that mural, we're gonna have to potentially have the artist come	01:44:22
	back and fix that mural. So we there's these costs potentially, but we hadn't there was no plan to. OK. So does that include	01:44:29
	removing doing landscaping to to prepare potentially because that was never brought to the committee. So that's why I'm asking,	01:44:37
	Right. This is the first time hearing of it. Yeah. And so I think I sent an e-mail to the committee on it a couple months back.	01:44:44
	Yeah. And so, so we're going to bring the mural back at the next council meeting and that's going to be something we identify as	01:44:53
	staff is just a reminder because there were a lot of promises made with that mural that somebody has to pay for. And so we're	01:44:59
	going to come back to council and say, you know, how do you want to pay for for some of those things. I think there were not,	01:45:06
	there were not promises. There was just things that we did not include in the in the proposal. Yeah, OK.	01:45:12
	So my next comment then, I'm fine with the mental health plan. I understand that has to be detailed out, but the public safety	01:45:19
	providing funding for the city's canine unit. I know that there was a presentation before the Commission asking for a canine unit.	01:45:28
	I did know that the idea come from the commissioner, but we have AK 9 unit now, so.	01:45:36
	Yes, when the Council approved the K9 unit, we noted at that time that.	01:45:46
	That we did not have, there wasn't specific funding in our budget for a canine office, for a canine unit. So we noted at that time	01:45:52
	that we had a couple of opportunities to pursue such as the community benefit fund or grant funding. But in the meantime, we had	01:45:58
	some vacancy savings we could use to to sort of be able to cover the costs. But the hope is that if we get the funding that we'd	01:46:04
	be able to.	01:46:10
	Put that that vacancy savings back into effect to be able to have it for for other needs that we have. So, so we identified it	01:46:16
	when we identified the canine officer program. So the council approved in that item the canine program and authorized staff to go	01:46:24
	out and sort of look explore those funding opportunities. So, so it came up at the joint port meeting.	01:46:33
	I think that there would seem to be support with the idea of one of the goals. The other thing was the council this year adopted	01:46:41
	the goals. That said one of the goals was for the city and the port.	01:46:46
	That was a mutual goal, was our focus on security and hardening the the port and our community. And so we identified it with the	01:46:51
	joint committee as a potential way to do both of those things. So, so that was discussed at that point and it's a possibility, but	01:46:58
	it's ultimately up to the council, so.	01:47:06
	If I could just add, you know, having worked with grants for many, many years and I know this is not a grant, but there is	01:47:14
	something called supplemental, which is a big no, no. When you've already got money in your budget and you bring in grant money to	01:47:21
	a supplement, you know what you're trying to do, supplement your salary savings and return it to the to the general fund.	01:47:27
	Umm, I would be more in favor since we already have the canine unit and apparently it's been paid for that we look at something	01:47:36
	other than.	01:47:40
	Other than canine unit and maybe look at a more an emergency preparedness program of some sort.	01:47:48
	For for that extra money.	01:47:54
	Or I would actually.	01:47:58
	You know what, I take that back. I would I would like to see us support the concept of doing something with our economic	01:48:00
	development plan and implementing the economic development plan so that we can have a real discussion around the Market Street.	01:48:07
	Location.	01:48:15
	Do we have a support for that recommendation?	01:48:18
	We've been, yeah, we've been sitting on that.	01:48:23
	You know that the Market Street issue, since I've been on council, I think we've haven't been able to find our way.	01:48:26
	Through a solution on how we want to use that, I think if we bring somebody in to facilitate that discussion.	01:48:34
	That we could really come to a good decision on how we we want to both agree on that location.	01:48:41
	Yeah, so.	01:48:49
	So I I would agree with that. My only concern is I don't know how far $30,000.	01:48:52
	Will get us in looking at a development plan and next steps for that I just.	01:49:00
	Don't think that it's enough. I love the idea. I just don't think that it's enough to get us there. And I would be a little	01:49:07
	concerned about getting started and then not making it all the way. And then we're we're started at now less $30,000.	01:49:13
	Well, I think one way we could do it is bring back the consultants who did the economic development plan and and pay them an	01:49:21
	additional $30,000 to walk us through that discussion since they're already familiar with with the issues.	01:49:28
	I don't think that's a good use of this money. I mean, if we wanted.	01:49:36
	Dive deeper into community development. We should do so.	01:49:41
	On our own dime.	01:49:45
	Using the community benefit fund, if we look at our past practice, we've supported a community based. Just look at the list. We	01:49:48
	all know the benefit of this. You know at the higher. I don't like the joint advocacy trip to Washington.	01:49:56
	I don't know.	01:50:05
	I don't know how beneficial that is to both of us. I think it's more beneficial to the port because they have way better, they	01:50:06
	have a lot of grant monies coming in and and they do a really good job at that, but.	01:50:13
	I think we I would like to see us look deeper into our community and to fill some needs that are real, that are going to benefit	01:50:21
	people in our community. We mentioned mental health. There are some mental health.	01:50:28
	Opportunities out there, there's people doing great things in the area of mental health and we certainly should try to bring	01:50:35
	services to the community members that need them here in our community I.	01:50:41
	So I'm looking for more measurable outcomes where we could say like I'm going to learn to swim program, very measurable.	01:50:48
	We could get the data that says we've taught X amount of kids how to swim over the last several years.	01:50:57
	Real guppy, very measurable that we could see their activities. We see the benefit of it.	01:51:04
	So.	01:51:10
	That's where I'm leaning towards. I want to look for outcome based expenditures that.	01:51:11
	We can measure.	01:51:18
	Councilmember Martinez.	01:51:19
	Are we are, I'm just curious, are we discussing, are we asking questions right now or because discussing options? So 30,000 I	01:51:23
	think the canine is a great idea and I think it was a suggestion from from city staff and everybody. The dog that we saw here	01:51:30
	today, I think everybody loved the dog and I think it'd be great and for us to say, hey, the port got us another dog, one that's	01:51:36
	specific to I think.	01:51:43
	This canine would be different than the other canine, right? So we would we would have two different types of canines and I think	01:51:50
	it'd be a win for both of both the city and the port. So I'd support.	01:51:55
	City recommendation for the canine and the mental health, the additional $2500 for mental health. So that that's my opinion. Just	01:52:01
	just so you know, I would make a motion, but I think we still need to hear public comments. I just can't support another.	01:52:07
	Canine and we haven't seen the benefits of this first one and and we haven't established a need.	01:52:13
	What's, you know, we really haven't established a need and we have a need, you know, to implement our economic development plan	01:52:19
	and I think.	01:52:23
	I would point out that at one time prior we had five canines and they were very much used for community.	01:52:29
	That's not why the canine program was discontinued. I would like to point out that firearms are a big problem in our community and	01:52:37
	having that ability to sniff out a gun when you pull over somebody is unbelievably beneficial.	01:52:45
	Unfortunately, you know, that's the society we have, I mean.	01:52:56
	Kids are killing kids. I remember the first day of school last year when Amy High School kid was gunned down in Bubbling Springs	01:53:00
	Park.	01:53:03
	I believe Giorgio is an ammunition and bomb sniffing dog and the next canine would be narcotics based.	01:53:07
	And so you know to say that.	01:53:16
	Well, that's even a concern for me now that we, you know how the cannabis businesses are going to be, feel about that. It's kind	01:53:19
	of, you know what we're doing with the cannabis business.	01:53:24
	So I think we have to spend some more time discussing that. I would like to add that we have a port we have.	01:53:29
	Thousands of truckloads coming through that port. I see the US Customs out there every now and doing their little sting operation.	01:53:37
	Is it enough to stop illegal trafficking of ******** drugs? I don't know. I don't think it is.	01:53:44
	We don't know what.	01:53:52
	I trust our police chief to tell us what the need is. So I would say at this point, if I can just add at one point and then maybe	01:53:53
	it would be good to maybe have the chief speak a little bit because I think there's a couple things going on and there's what	01:53:59
	we're doing right now. And then there's maybe like the vision for download the line. But I think with the what we're doing right	01:54:05
	now, we've implemented the canine program, but we've done it with a shoestring budget and we've done it by retrofitting old	01:54:11
	equipment and making use of what we have.	01:54:17
	And that's how we did it for no money essentially. And so if we were able to get some funding, we'd be able to do things like get	01:54:23
	better equipment for for them. I think that the long term vision, there probably is a long term plan of, of trying to identify	01:54:29
	more resources. But right now it's really implementing this the canine officer, which we've done a good job of with the budget we	01:54:35
	had, but it wasn't very much. And I'm going to hand it over to the chief, but I'm going to make one point that I have heard from	01:54:41
	multiple.	01:54:47
	Police agencies that I think is really something that I hadn't thought about until I, we really started to talk about it. And it	01:54:53
	was, you know, the idea that if you have somebody with a gun out at the beach, for example, and the police show up to respond and	01:54:59
	they toss their gun, that we could have our, all of our officers in the city pulled to the beach, combing the beach looking for a	01:55:05
	gun and spending hours and hours and hours. Or we could have the dog come out. Don't interrupt, please, city manager, or you can	01:55:11
	have the dog come out.	01:55:17
	Find it in 45 minutes or an hour. And I think for that, it's really just a reminder to everybody, which should be when we talked	01:55:23
	about mutually beneficial projects for the city and the port to be able to make our resources work better and more efficiently. So	01:55:30
	with that, I'll ask the Chief to just add to that.	01:55:36
	Before.	01:55:44
	Giorgio and Officer Magana got out of training last week. They were utilized second to last day to come out for the armed robbery	01:55:46
	that happened on the beach because the gun wasn't found in the suspect vehicle.	01:55:53
	We believed it was taken by a third, possibly 1/3 suspect. I want to get details on the open investigation. However, instead of	01:56:00
	tying up everybody to go search a path, we were able to call out Giorgio to quickly walk to confirm what we believed.	01:56:06
	There's been two incidents in the last 24 hours in our city involving firearms. Somebody pulled a gun on somebody and pointed at	01:56:13
	them. We now have those guns and that person is going to be in custody shortly. And we had a shooting. We've had a few shootings,	01:56:20
	if you haven't noticed, on our residential streets. We had another one last night. All this in 24 hours.	01:56:27
	When we presented the canines, I talked to you about 60 something guns being booked into our property and evidence in one year.	01:56:35
	And how many of those, more than half, were taken from investigations like this?	01:56:42
	And acts of violence.	01:56:47
	I'm surprised that I'm explaining the progress of a canine unit for a department whose history is vetted in being the 1st in the	01:56:51
	county with canines in the early 70s. We're one of the first in the state, and we helped other agencies get theirs. And we had	01:56:57
	long decades and success stories of the canines in this department doing great work, not only in our community but in neighboring	01:57:03
	cities. And then they went away while I was gone.	01:57:09
	And it's my goal to bring them back.	01:57:15
	You need 2 canines to have a canine program.	01:57:18
	A police dog can only smell for either.	01:57:22
	Firearms, explosives and bombs or narcotics if we want. You want me to get into the the explanation on why we need a narcotics	01:57:25
	dog?	01:57:29
	Do we not understand the threat of fentanyl on our streets? Do we not understand I just had a 25 year old man in custody right now	01:57:35
	that we just took off the streets after a crime?	01:57:40
	And he admitted to his drug use problems.	01:57:47
	And if you heard the sirens while we were having counsel?	01:57:49
	And we close the doors because all that was a fire truck and ambulance coming to get him out of my jail because he's having a drug	01:57:54
	reaction.	01:57:57
	The drugs on our streets are real, folks. Our officers and paramedics in the city are using Narcan to save people's lives right	01:58:01
	now on the streets.	01:58:06
	Dope dogs are needed.	01:58:11
	Get there and have the puppy go look for him. It's my kids with autism in this community that walk away in the middle of the	01:58:43
	night.	01:58:46
	And everybody's rushing in to go find them. Where did they go? Especially before they get to a body of water.	01:58:50
	The dog, we can give him a blanket, get some tracking smell and get him going to find that kid. These are non apprehension dogs.	01:58:55
	He's going to go sniff, sniff sniff and find this person.	01:59:00
	There's a lot of purposes for canines, a lot, and it's part of the agenda to secure our port. I'm working very hard at getting our	01:59:05
	working to get our port.	01:59:10
	The most secure it can be.	01:59:16
	And using canines for that is 1.	01:59:18
	Also our base, we also have a body of water with the port that shares it with the base. So the harder we can make all these	01:59:21
	targets to add and enhance all the security that's there.	01:59:26
	The safer we can make it.	01:59:32
	So I just want to thank you, Chief for that and I really do appreciate that.	01:59:35
	You know, for the last.	01:59:41
	Four months, maybe three months, we've been hearing that we need to tighten our belt. You know that we're, you know, our budget	01:59:44
	is, is.	01:59:47
	We're operating really close to going into the red and we need to be really careful how we spend money.	01:59:52
	And when I heard you asked for the motor unit, I asked, is this it? You know, is this all you're going to come back and ask us	01:59:58
	for? And then I hear you on a second motor unit when you ask for the canine.	02:00:04
	I asked, is this it? I'm thinking, is this it? Now we're hearing a second dog is needed. So I, I just have a problem with what is	02:00:11
	it going to be? When is it going to stop? You know, when, what is the actual need? Is it 2 dogs? Is it three dogs? Is it 5 dogs? I	02:00:17
	mean, I just, you know, here we are trying to be good stewards of the city's coffers, but I want to know that there's a real plan	02:00:24
	in place and that this is, we're not just doing things.	02:00:30
	In piece meal and I want to know that the port is actually.	02:00:37
	Asking us for assistance with dog sniffing, bomb sniffing dogs. I want to know that the that the Navy base really has the need.	02:00:41
	I've heard you say that, but I want to see what that need is. I want to see that justification. So Council.	02:00:49
	City Manager, can you confirm you've seen letters from DoD police on the base, the federal agents that work in the port?	02:00:58
	For what my vision is, I haven't seen that. There would be no need for us to see them. Yeah, exactly. They're operational. He he's	02:01:04
	my boss.	02:01:09
	So he part of this vision is his explaining. I also heard that it was a board commissioner from the port that was asking for the	02:01:14
	canines correct very healthy conversations over.	02:01:19
	Or the use of canines with the port. And it was a board commissioner, correct. Suggested we spend a board commissioner for the	02:01:26
	harbor, our awesome harbor President. Can I just thank the president of the port for being here and leaving early? Yeah, See you.	02:01:32
	I think it was really nice to have her here. Bye. Bye.	02:01:39
	Thank you.	02:01:46
	And.	02:01:48
	It's and yes, the the the actually the base is more interested in.	02:01:50
	You know us having a dope dog.	02:01:56
	In addition to the bomb dogs, because they're fentanyl, we're fentanyl for not for cannabis, but other drugs. Yes, we had heroin	02:01:59
	out there. We got methamphetamine.	02:02:03
	I am tired of hearing Council Member Hernandez give you a hard time, so I would ask you to lighten up. Everything I've heard makes	02:02:12
	sense.	02:02:18
	There's no, there's no smoke and mirrors going on here. I just want to make one to to your point of spending. Can I, can we say	02:02:26
	that your chief who owned a business and has been part of school for 30 years was successful at.	02:02:32
	Accomplishing these things but still being under budget by the end of the year, that was the thing I wanted to address. The	02:02:41
	strategy that I used to get these things and keep this department's foot on the gas pedal, keeping the city safe has been very,	02:02:48
	very budget strategic. Yeah, one of the one of the challenges both the chief and I inherited is, is trying to make these	02:02:55
	improvements with, while reducing our budgets just frankly. So yes, we have tightened our belts and yes, we have reduced spending.	02:03:03
	And I look at that as an opportunity to get something that's needed for the community. So that's why we've recommended so. So like	02:03:39
	the murals, you know, there were things that we didn't perhaps include in there in terms of long term maintenance. And we're	02:03:47
	looking to the general to the community benefit fund. I see the same issue here with the dogs in the motor units that there are	02:03:54
	long term maintenance issues and retention issues that we're going to have. Can we make sure that we're addressing those? Yes.	02:04:02
	$5000 I was advocating to try and get the cost down.	02:04:40
	So that we could demonstrate to our so that Council Member Gama is speaking please. So that we could demonstrate to our community	02:04:44
	how to wisely spend funds. So on the one hand, my opinion, my opinion only, chief and city manager have done an excellent job in	02:04:51
	showing us how to do more with less.	02:04:58
	Thank you.	02:05:06
	Secondly, please do not instruct me on my job. Secondly.	02:05:13
	We need to treat all these expenditures as the most important decisions we're making because a mural never took a gun off the	02:05:18
	street. A mural never saved a life.	02:05:26
	And so the things that we're talking about tonight and that the chief has done very well is life safety for our community. And	02:05:36
	it's heartbreaking when it.	02:05:41
	Teenager freshman student gets murdered on the corner of Bard and Park Ave. after school on the first day of school last year. So	02:05:46
	anything we could do to protect the the lives of our community through the Police Department is money well spent. And I think	02:05:53
	you're doing an excellent job. And sometimes there's noise and we just have to ignore it. Council Member Martinez, did you have?	02:06:01
	Yeah, I just wanted to chime in. This reminds me a lot of last year's budget meeting when I was advocating for $10,000 of bonfire.	02:06:08
	On the beach and it took like 30 minutes of convincing just for everybody to vote yes you know 50 and then I've been hearing a lot	02:06:16
	of people just super super thrilled about the bonfire pits. I'd like to just move on here public comments and then make our motion	02:06:22
	and vote if that's OK if I could say one word because I've been the subject of you know public attacks here personally and and I	02:06:28
	just want to say that I'm not anti public safety and I.	02:06:35
	Mayor that is inappropriate. Let's OK so I am not anti Federico, I am not anti chief. I am not anti police. I am not anti law	02:06:46
	enforcement. I have been pro law enforcement ever since I've been on the City Council. But I am concerned about the process on	02:06:53
	which we're approving these projects and the hidden costs that come with these these approvals. So that's all this is about OK you	02:07:01
	know so the other things if you guys want to personalize it that's.	02:07:08
	But it's very inappropriate, I think, for you to do that.	02:07:16
	Yes, Chief.	02:07:19
	My vision didn't just come from over 30 years in law enforcement and being part of this community for over 30 years. My vision	02:07:22
	came from even before I came back as chief. I've listened to this community. Why do you think we have motors? Why do you think	02:07:27
	motors was what I worked on in the 1st 2 weeks?	02:07:32
	They were asking for it.	02:07:38
	I specialize somebody in graffiti because they were asking for it, which we're doing now. Do you see the graffiti arrests on	02:07:40
	social media? It's crazy.	02:07:43
	It's what they asked for. I listen.	02:07:48
	And I brought them the void that we were missing in the city in a couple of areas, and the canines is 1 and they're coming.	02:07:50
	Thank you.	02:07:57
	Mayor Pro Tem.	02:07:58
	Thank you, chief. So I may be out of line, but I'm just going to kind of say this and see, see where it falls. So, so yeah, the	02:08:01
	the canine came up.	02:08:06
	From the port with their suggestion.	02:08:13
	In a meeting that we all were at.	02:08:17
	The presentation for the scholarships, that was.	02:08:21
	During the board meeting, everyone left, we remained and that.	02:08:25
	That's where the conversation has.	02:08:29
	And so the current which they voted on request was to use the remaining 3033 thousand. So I think that's less this newly proposed	02:08:32
	recreational scholarship thing. So they they were saying 33,000 and it came up from 1 of the commissioners and they took a vote	02:08:40
	and the vote was yes.	02:08:48
	The Commissioner is to come back with a more clarified.	02:08:56
	Area that.	02:09:01
	She suggests that.	02:09:03
	The economic development.	02:09:06
	Team someone be hired to look at that. So this is I say all that to get to this. OK, so being that the Port initially brought up	02:09:09
	the idea of the canine and now the Port is talking about something else.	02:09:16
	I suggest possibly to take a vote if there, if there isn't anything else right, because ultimately we have to come into agreement	02:09:25
	with the port.	02:09:30
	Yeah.	02:09:36
	In order for this money to be.	02:09:38
	Benefit Fund.	02:09:41
	If we don't agree, there's a process to deal with those fronts, OK.	02:09:45
	So what I'm trying to what I'm trying to get at is.	02:09:51
	Let's possibly take a vote on a primary, primary and an alternate, unless there needs to be additional discussion as to what 1/3	02:09:55
	option might be.	02:10:00
	So that when the mayor and I sit in those meetings, if we get, I mean.	02:10:05
	You get. You're shaking your head. I am. I am.	02:10:12
	Ultimately, it's an agreement.	02:10:16
	I'll tell you why I'm shaking my head. Mayor Pro Tem, I'm sorry. Can you? Ultimately, it's an agreement.	02:10:18
	That's the process ultimate agreement. So if if we are stuck and I'm not, this is not meant to be negative, right? Right. But if	02:10:25
	we are stuck on just one item and it must be the canine and the port says no, then now we're coming back. But that's not the	02:10:31
	scenario. We need to have order here. So let her finish.	02:10:37
	Is the scenario.	02:10:43
	What am I missing? I think.	02:10:45
	I completely understand what mayor Pro Tem saying and I think the gist of it and I was actually going to give this reminder	02:10:48
	earlier and we got off topic, but the.	02:10:52
	If the port, I think where we maybe got off topic was a comment about the port has already had their meeting and they voted on	02:10:57
	what they want to do. Well, that's fine. The purpose of tonight is for the council to vote on what they want to do and then give	02:11:03
	that direction to the joint committee. And then, and then I think the comment about probably giving direction about what we, if we	02:11:09
	would support one or both or neither or you know, whatever it is, but give direction to the committee to then go work with the	02:11:15
	port, in other words.	02:11:21
	It's not a question of, but it does the Council agree with what the ports proposal is Because we haven't gotten that proposal yet,	02:11:28
	But here's what it feels like.	02:11:32
	Do this appropriately and raise your hand to ask to speak, please.	02:11:38
	Thank you. You may speak.	02:11:43
	Here's what it feels like to me.	02:11:45
	The port has as long as I've been on council, as long as council Member Hernandez has been on council, the port has been trying to	02:11:47
	acquire that property.	02:11:52
	And.	02:11:57
	We haven't agreed to that.	02:11:59
	So now they're suggesting, now they're suggesting that we use Community Benefit Fund to bring in an economic developer.	02:12:02
	To help them convince us that this is our only. I don't know, I just don't like it. I think our time is better spent on life,	02:12:12
	safety, community benefits, things that we know that work.	02:12:18
	And I think the canine is a really good example of that. And I also think that.	02:12:26
	You know, truck safety, the other things that we're doing, I mean, there's a lot of impacts.	02:12:33
	That come from the port um.	02:12:39
	You know, I was thinking the other day.	02:12:43
	We're operating on 1981 agreements and that first agreement was when the port decided to bring cars here and they needed the city	02:12:47
	to support and they and they gave us an agreement. So much has changed since then in terms of what they're bringing in, what	02:12:53
	they're shipping out, multi axle, 46 axle trucks going out and all we get is $3 for a car. Let's keep on topic, Council Member	02:12:59
	Martinez.	02:13:05
	It's no secret that me being a educator, I'm, I'm big on art and I'm big on scholarships. So if there was anything else I, I want,	02:13:12
	I would want to put it on the art and, and on the murals and, and, and scholarships. But seeing there's an opportunity right now	02:13:18
	to, to benefit the city and I, I think also make the port look good and say, hey, like this is almost like this is the dog that	02:13:24
	the port got us.	02:13:31
	I I 100% support the the recommendations by our city staff.	02:13:38
	I just have a question and it does have to do with the canines. But first, I want to say that we have not made a decision on	02:13:44
	Market Street. We need that. We neither agreed or disagreed. So I just want our public to understand that. Second, I noticed on	02:13:50
	our disbursement list that there's a.	02:13:55
	Cost here for it looks like the canine program from Inglis Imports Incorporated of 16,670 was that for the dog?	02:14:02
	Correct. Yes, we saved money. It wasn't 25,000.	02:14:13
	And four and 4000 for training.	02:14:18
	Dollars or.	02:14:21
	For for the purchase of a canine. And so it turned out to be 16670. That's great. So how much do you expect a second canine would	02:14:22
	cost?	02:14:27
	We would try to get the same great deal on a very quality dog and then we would take the rest of the money strategically like we	02:14:33
	did on this one and outfit a current vehicle so we didn't have to purchase a new one.	02:14:39
	We asked these questions. We don't know that you're being strategic in your spending or that you know that you saved money in the	02:14:48
	purchase of it. So, so that's great. OK, I'm, I'm fine with it. Thank you.	02:14:53
	So I have a comment regarding the poor. I wasn't there, so I did not. I wasn't Privy to the ports voting for economic development.	02:14:59
	Regarding Market Street, I I think that question is still up in the air and we need to have some additional meetings with our city	02:15:05
	attorney to discuss that before I would even agree to allocate money towards that. I support what it says right here for public	02:15:11
	safety.	02:15:17
	And I think.	02:15:23
	That we take these discussions to the port and we're going to have a meeting and find out what they wanted to do and see what we	02:15:26
	can come up with. That's the only thing we can do is is agree on a course of action for this council to go back to the Port city	02:15:32
	committee meeting and discuss the next steps on that.	02:15:38
	But wouldn't it be?	02:15:44
	Fairer if we voted on priorities to take to the point, that's what we have to do. We're going to vote on a course of action	02:15:46
	tonight as to what to recommend to the city board meeting.	02:15:52
	That that was, that was what we were trying to say. That's what we need to do. We need to have a course of action. So then is	02:16:01
	there, so do we have a, do we have a motion to approve a course of action right now? Can I add just one thing because I think it's	02:16:06
	important is the.	02:16:11
	The request is.	02:16:18
	We don't know what the request is so I don't want to comment too much but.	02:16:20
	From what I understand, the request to have the port hire a economic development person to tell us how to use the Market Street	02:16:24
	property is a very strange request. That's not what they said.	02:16:30
	And, and I'm just going to say the, the, the first question we should ask ourselves about the Market Street property is what is	02:16:36
	the City Council want to do with it? We haven't answered that. So, so to me, it's like the carts before the horse there. And you	02:16:41
	know, just similarly, you know, and we aren't proposing this, but it'd be the same as saying why, why doesn't the port hire	02:16:46
	somebody to write their 10 year strategic plan?	02:16:51
	We wouldn't do that because we're not going to tell the port how to operate their business. So similarly, that's a strange request	02:16:57
	I don't quite understand. That's really inaccurate. So I think that's really unfair for you. Well, any discussion about our Market	02:17:03
	Street property needs to start here. You need to start with the council. So I think for us, and we need to be that, I think the	02:17:09
	point, the conversation right now needs to be educating everybody on where we're at and what we're doing before we leap to hiring	02:17:15
	a consultant.	02:17:21
	Correct. The important never even said they would be in the room for this discussion. So I would be very careful about jumping to	02:17:27
	conclusions and making assumptions. It's really unfair. Does it go well for partnering with some of one of our important most	02:17:33
	important stakeholders? OK, to sum it up, even any discussion about Market Street regarding the community benefit fund is	02:17:39
	premature because we do not know what we're doing or what what ideas we want to have for Market Street property. So let's table	02:17:45
	that, that is.	02:17:51
	Not something we're going to propose here. So let's get to what we are going to propose.	02:17:57
	So we're looking to spend $33,000 and I would like to make a point to that.	02:18:03
	With the mural project.	02:18:10
	You know it's 35,000 and we didn't budget for the upkeep, you know right?	02:18:13
	So, so now probably would be a really good time to make some kind of estimate as to OK, well what's that going to cost to work?	02:18:20
	So we're planning to recommend at the next meeting that we use the additional $15,000 that was allocated towards the maintenance.	02:18:30
	Is that in this agenda? No, it'll be in the next. So then do we want to have a suggestion about that? Can we do that now?	02:18:36
	I mean, you could add it to this list if you chose to. I think we are saying we had a plan where it wouldn't be added to this list	02:18:45
	and that's what we're proceeding based off.	02:18:51
	And partially because it wasn't on any of the list. So do we have? Where can we go from here?	02:18:56
	Back to what Martha was saying. So looking at what's currently on the.	02:19:03
	List here. It looks like there's a balance of $30,000 and how much? What it says 2727 thousand? How much would be for a canine?	02:19:09
	27,527 thousand 500.	02:19:21
	Another 5000. Is that a 5000?	02:19:25
	Leftover No, no, no 27,500 towards that, 2500 towards the health and Wellness fair and then 3000 for the rec program scholarships,	02:19:29
	which I I will just note, I believe this is correct and you mayor and mayor Pro Tem can tell me if it's not. I think that was also	02:19:34
	a request by the port. Yes, it was.	02:19:40
	It was actually a public comment request from a community member and they support.	02:19:47
	I'm just going to make one more comment and then I I have a motion. And so I just want to say something about the conversation	02:19:54
	about Market Street and the port.	02:19:59
	I just want to bring everyone's attention to items one through 4 and either organization can look at these items and say let's	02:20:05
	look at this. So it's not because it's Market Street doesn't mean that we're the only ones that can say.	02:20:13
	Let's Oh yeah, community develop because there is a community development line that's available to both sides.	02:20:21
	And so I don't. I just don't want to.	02:20:28
	Leave it with.	02:20:32
	They picked that item because they because I want to be and I think we want to be a good part of.	02:20:34
	And make sure that we're doing the.	02:20:39
	Thing here. So I'd like to move that we take the recommendations of staff.	02:20:41
	As identified in the report.	02:20:47
	Do we have a second mayor? I believe we had already called for public comment, but we did receive a late 1. I don't know if you	02:20:49
	want to.	02:20:52
	Call it back, that's fine.	02:20:56
	Rich.	02:21:00
	Good evening again, Council.	02:21:08
	I'm speaking as a resident.	02:21:12
	My.	02:21:15
	My vision at the beginning for our Community Benefit Fund is, as it stated, to benefit the community.	02:21:17
	To me.	02:21:26
	Everybody that I talked to, one of the primary concerns that they have is on public safety I.	02:21:27
	One of my sons lives in a neighborhood where, over the summer, he's heard at least three or four gunshots.	02:21:35
	And so if there's any kind of a way that.	02:21:44
	Our public safety can prevent the possible use of guns.	02:21:50
	Through a dog and I'm not.	02:21:55
	Privy to the expertise on that, but from what I've heard tonight, dogs can do that and so.	02:21:57
	I think it's probably paramount that we look to putting some money towards public safety for these dogs. So that's .1. The other	02:22:04
	point that was talked up is that we wanted to do something for mental health.	02:22:12
	And a lot of the agencies that we've benefited in the past are nonprofit agencies that don't have a lot of money. And they in this	02:22:20
	little bit of $100,000 per year can go a long thing, a long way to things like the Explorers, the Guppies, all of those types of	02:22:27
	things. One of the programs that I've gotten to know more of that I think would benefit our community and our youth, there's a	02:22:34
	program.	02:22:41
	Called Jake's Place.	02:22:49
	Some of you may be aware of that and it's to deal with at risk kids that have deal with a lot of the different social pressures	02:22:51
	they've been in many cases have been suicidal. I've gotten an opportunity to go and visit that program and they provide peer	02:22:59
	counseling, they provide art, all of the types of things that we're talking about tonight and.	02:23:07
	I would just like the Council to consider perhaps taking.	02:23:16
	I'll just $5000. Obviously they could probably use 20 or 30,000. But like if we're going to spread out the wealth, I think that	02:23:21
	would be an excellent program. It's dealing with our local youth, our local at risk kids that hopefully will become leaders. Like	02:23:29
	we, we talked about Kevin Brandon and how he maybe had a rough pass, but like he's seen the way why not? Let's get it at the root	02:23:36
	and get these kids like on the straight and narrow.	02:23:43
	So my proposal would be to like perhaps the the Council, when they're making that present the presentation, to consider something	02:23:51
	like Jake's place.	02:23:56
	That's it.	02:24:02
	I would like to make a motion to include Jake's.	02:24:03
	Nates Place yes made mention of a motion first, did you?	02:24:08
	Thank you for reminding me of Nate's place, Richard.	02:24:13
	Can I can I say something to maybe be the bad guy in the room, which is the next time we're going to talk about on the agenda is	02:24:20
	talking about creating a process and to really be methodical and, and into how we do it. And so, you know, I love you Rich, but	02:24:25
	right when we're about to vote to then have a new group added in that we I don't even think we know the name of because I think	02:24:31
	it's Nate's place.	02:24:37
	Yeah. So I think it's my suggestion would be on the next item we're going to talk about.	02:24:44
	An application process next year and one thing we can definitely do next year is get them an application so that we can vet them	02:24:49
	properly. I just think at this point it's we're late into the process to.	02:24:54
	Late into the process, but we said there's $33,000. We're looking for ideas and.	02:25:01
	Well, we still have that mental health.	02:25:08
	So the motion includes as stated, which is the public safety portion. Mental health was included in that, correct. I'll restate my	02:25:11
	motion. I move to approve the recommendation of staff.	02:25:15
	Which included mental health.	02:25:21
	And we can figure we'll put some thought into how we do the mental health. OK, so we have a second.	02:25:23
	Do I have? Sorry.	02:25:28
	Can I have a vote please? All in favor aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you Lord Jesus.	02:25:31
	The next item is the Community of Benefit Fund establishment of a 2025 city review process.	02:25:40
	I think this ties in perfectly, and there's a couple of reasons, but it's talking about a process and creating a real process that	02:25:48
	has a.	02:25:53
	Kind of set schedule, an application process and measurable outcomes to sort of help us make this a more efficient process in the	02:25:58
	future. And I will just note, you know at the end of the day, I said a moment ago it's sometimes we have to be the the bad guy in	02:26:04
	the room but.	02:26:09
	Really the two items we talked about the the kind of the sort of request from the port and then the request right now about Nate's	02:26:17
	place are good examples where.	02:26:22
	It's just having a process in place so we understand even what the request is. When I mentioned the port earlier, I said I will	02:26:28
	just note, I said that I don't even know what the request is at this point. I haven't heard it or seen it. And so I'm going out	02:26:34
	based on a game of telephone. So what I'm hearing may not be at all what they said, but I think this process is how we address	02:26:40
	that in the future. We create an application, people apply for funding, they say what they're going to accomplish. They give us	02:26:46
	measurable outcomes that we can.	02:26:52
	Hold them to and at the end we we get a final report from them that says shows how they met those measurable outcomes. And if they	02:26:58
	didn't meet those outcomes, they won't get funding again. And so I kind of cut to the chase, but what we've done working with the	02:27:03
	Citizens Advisory Commission.	02:27:09
	And and working through them is putting together a process that we've delineated as sort of five steps and that we're recommending	02:27:15
	that we agree to move forward with this process starting next year. The five steps I'll give them in brief is step one. Around	02:27:23
	February 1st of each year, we'll announce the CBF funding.	02:27:31
	Period has opened with an application process and give people about 45 days to apply.	02:27:40
	For funding, they'll have to include specific information. We included a draft of the application. Step 2 will be city staff	02:27:47
	review to ensure alignment with the CBF categories and then those findings will be presented at ACAC meeting where the CAC will	02:27:53
	review those and make recommendations and then Step 3 project.	02:28:00
	The projects and the CAC recommendations will then be given, presented to the City Council, and then that feedback as part of Step	02:28:08
	4 will be used to.	02:28:12
	Give direction to the City Port Joint Committee and then.	02:28:18
	Essentially will go through the city port joint committee process is Step 5. And then the hope is that it's a more efficient	02:28:23
	process. We come back to council. We have all the information everybody needs is in writing in the applicant's own words. And like	02:28:29
	I said, most importantly, we're able to hold them to what they're committing to do and what they're promising to do. And so is	02:28:35
	that maybe we should have listed a step 6 would be and then coming back and making sure and reviewing that they've done what they	02:28:41
	what they have committed to do so.	02:28:47
	We've we've worked with the CAC to prepare that process. We recommend that process. It doesn't impact this year's because this	02:28:53
	year's has gone is already you know, the horse has left the, the station. But we are recommending starting this process February	02:29:00
	1st of next year for the next budget cycle. Thank you city manager, hold on for a long time.	02:29:08
	What I was going to say was this takes it out of our hands per SE, and makes it a cleaner process because this can get pretty.	02:29:16
	Heated up here and it gives us an opportunity to hear actual what the community recommends and it takes us out of the equation and	02:29:27
	it's not a council wish list no longer. So it's actually community input, community direction, community driven, which is always	02:29:33
	better for the council. But Mayor Pro Tem, you had a comment or question couple of things.	02:29:40
	Thank you. Thank you all who worked on this to put this together. But I do have a couple of questions. So is there is there a plan	02:29:47
	to have?	02:29:52
	A detailed list of some sort that kind of speaks to what level of donation?	02:29:59
	Should be requested.	02:30:07
	We're only talking $100,000 we're talking about.	02:30:09
	Port and the city. So I would imagine I'd hate for someone to submit something with a a donation amount that that will die on the	02:30:12
	vine. That's a good point. Yeah. So that's one of them. And then the other one is.	02:30:21
	I would imagine there would be have to be some verbage because this is the the city process. We still have to sit in the room with	02:30:30
	the port.	02:30:35
	And get the stamp on it. So that should be communicated in a way. And then I had one more thing.	02:30:40
	I'll stop there, it'll come back to me. So.	02:30:53
	Councilmember Gama, thank you.	02:30:55
	So what I feel is necessary, and I think this takes a huge step in that direction, is taking this out of commissioners and taking	02:31:01
	it out of council members realm. And if someone were to come to my house and say, hey, you know, looking to get some funding here,	02:31:07
	can you help me out? I'll say yeah, yeah, sure. Here you go. Here's an application, go for it. And I think that's, I would hope	02:31:14
	that we could get the port to do the same.	02:31:20
	Because if, if, if we both have a process that's different, then there's going to be conflict.	02:31:28
	That's just the way it is. And with the community benefit fund, I don't want to look to the past as our road map to the future	02:31:35
	because yes, there was a time where the money just sat for what, two years rich And then we finally tried to figure out how to	02:31:43
	spend it. And then it came down to this council person wants this and that and this and that. And so I really.	02:31:50
	I believe that council members and commissioners should be out of the process and the thing that bothers me is when we send 2	02:31:59
	council members over there, it sets us up.	02:32:05
	For failure because we are now no longer able to talk to those two representatives because of the Brown Act.	02:32:11
	Right, so so.	02:32:19
	I think a.	02:32:22
	I like the process approach. I think council members should be out of bringing in suggestions. I think our community should drive	02:32:24
	the suggestions and the request for funds and and we could identify those needs and market, hey, we have this great program.	02:32:32
	And then we've received those applications. And then we were just talking with a resident today who's establishing her own	02:32:40
	foundation in the memory of her husband.	02:32:45
	And she has my, she has it pretty well mapped out as to an application process, you know, so that you can measure milestones and	02:32:50
	all that stuff. So I think we need to get there. And I think this is a big step, but I do believe we need the port to adopt the	02:32:56
	same.	02:33:03
	Because it would be, it would, it would be kind of weird, wouldn't it, if on our side we get all these requests from our community	02:33:10
	and on the other side you have.	02:33:16
	I don't know. Do you have?	02:33:22
	A wish list coming from.	02:33:24
	From the Commissioner, AB or C or D Councilmember Martinez.	02:33:27
	One initial question which was are there any areas in this process that can be improved? And one of the things that I was thinking	02:33:32
	about was where does the port?	02:33:37
	Where's the port in this process in terms of they're not right, this is just our process, correct? But that is something that's	02:33:43
	going to be discussed.	02:33:47
	I don't think so. I think it came up at the joint meetings a few times based on some of the public comment and.	02:33:53
	I think we had said a few times that we knew that the council had already identified wanting to like kind of look at the process	02:34:01
	and improve it and but I didn't ever hear the port say they would change their process. OK. That being said, are there any other	02:34:08
	areas in this process that can be improved in your opinion? Well, I think, I mean, you guys are hitting on sort of the key	02:34:14
	challenge, but it's the challenge inherent in the system which is at the end of the day two different.	02:34:21
	Agencies have to agree, so that's always going to be the challenge, but that's in the contract and it's written in and it's.	02:34:28
	So, so that is like the inherent challenge, but I think that is just that that's like the nature of the beast. Council member	02:35:05
	Hernandez, thank you, Mayor, first of all, I, I think the key point is that that's been missing in this process is that the	02:35:12
	members who represent us on the committee don't always come back and this has been in previous years. Don't always come back and	02:35:18
	report out and then.	02:35:24
	The report on the out, on the results of the meeting and then.	02:35:31
	We don't agendize a discussion, so that has to happen.	02:35:35
	That definitely has to happen, has to happen in order to for us to avoid the Brown Act and to have a process that works. I do have	02:35:39
	a couple of suggestions on the application. If I may, Mr. City Manager, I think we should add a point of contact. I want to thank	02:35:45
	whoever put this together. It looks really good. It's a good start, but I think we should have, besides the organizational name, a	02:35:52
	point of contact.	02:35:58
	And if we're asking them if your organization is a registered nonprofit, yes or no?	02:36:05
	If they say no, are we asking because we need them to have some kind of fiduciary agent?	02:36:12
	If so, we need to mention we need to ask that question. If you do not, if you are not a non profit, who is your fiduciary agent?	02:36:18
	Yeah, we talked a little bit about what our intent was with that question because originally, originally I had the perspective of	02:36:25
	it's not a non, if it's not a non profit, I think we should disqualify him. But we talked as a group and and I think the intent	02:36:32
	that we kind of agreed on was that we think whether they are registered non-profit is information that the CAC and the council.	02:36:39
	Will probably find valuable, but I think we kind of talked that there are situations where.	02:36:47
	It wouldn't be the end of the conversation though just because they aren't a non profit so yeah.	02:36:52
	The Coastal Keepers, for instance, they use the port and their fiduciary agent. So I think you might have situations like that.	02:37:00
	Are reviewing it, the council and the CAC, but not necessarily to be a determinative factor and then I think.	02:37:10
	Have to keep in mind that some of these nonprofits are short staffed and may be limited in their familiarity with completing grant	02:37:18
	applications. So if we could be a little bit more help them away along the way and describing what kind of details they might	02:37:26
	include. If you're asking for details, maybe describe from what kind of details we're looking for. Same with the proposed budget.	02:37:35
	Some of them may have never done a budget. So I mean maybe you suggested we need we want to see salaries, how you going to?	02:37:44
	Could be salary, supplies, program, operating costs. How are you going to use the proposed budget? And then let's see if there was	02:37:50
	anything else.	02:37:55
	Other than that, those were my only comments on the.	02:38:00
	Did you still remember your question?	02:38:04
	Specifically, but I did have a couple of more.	02:38:06
	Statements. I think so. I just want to be sure that when the time comes, the applications.	02:38:09
	Go to everyone, not just specific people or.	02:38:18
	Some people say, oh, I didn't know they were, you know, some people got the application someday. And so just whatever we need to	02:38:22
	do to make sure that we're we're sending out the applications to who who needs to get them or as many people as we can and not	02:38:28
	eliminate anyone. And then the other thing that just kind of came up for me is.	02:38:35
	So for the for the CAC, you participate in those meetings, not the deputy city manager is typically the liaison. And then I've	02:38:43
	gone to a couple, but I don't go to every everyone.	02:38:49
	And the reason I ask that is that I would.	02:38:57
	I would definitely like.	02:39:01
	The CAC to be.	02:39:05
	Connected right? Because.	02:39:08
	The city, while we won't be in this initial process, it'll still come back for us to take a look at. But I would really want the	02:39:12
	CAC to understand what's going on in the city so that they know if there's any. Even outside of the application process, is there	02:39:18
	a requirement that the city really needs? You all have to be in tune to be able to do that. So I would like like to make just make	02:39:24
	sure that there's that connection.	02:39:30
	Got it. And then just to your point earlier.	02:39:37
	There is a sentence in there noting because you mentioned the city kind of explaining that the city process but not the ports	02:39:41
	process. So we do have a sentence in there in the language trying to identify that. So we can just try to maybe maybe make that a	02:39:47
	little bit clearer. And I think the comment about maybe just an overview of how much funding is typically available in a year and	02:39:53
	that typically most grants are 5 to 10,000 dollars.	02:39:59
	We can include some language like that to just kind of steer them in the right direction.	02:40:06
	I have no questions or comments. I pretty much agree with the majority of what being said here. I don't believe the port, the port	02:40:10
	we're going to have to just assume.	02:40:14
	They're going to do their own process. This process has to be ours an hour alone and we should not have any assumptions to or	02:40:19
	expectations that the port is going to develop this same guideline.	02:40:25
	We have to remember that the process starts here with us. It's going to start with the CAC and then come to council and then it	02:40:34
	goes to the port. So we shouldn't really be concerned about what process they have in mind because if it's not going to start with	02:40:40
	them, it starts with us. So Councilmember Gama.	02:40:45
	OK. I also believe we should clean up the language, the settlement language and because if you look at the second to the last	02:40:53
	paragraph, tell me what shoreline protection we funded out of the community benefit fund, it shouldn't be there. We can't.	02:41:01
	Shoreline protection at a minimum is 4 million what, $16,000,000 every two years?	02:41:10
	I agree with you. Why is it? Why is it there? You know, it's it's.	02:41:19
	So I mean the other three community development opportunistic endeavors, other projects, I mean can we scratch shoreline	02:41:23
	protection and we cannot. That question was brought up to their city attorney who was part of the process of drafting that	02:41:30
	language. And I asked that specifically. We cannot change the language of the settlement group at all.	02:41:36
	It doesn't make sense. Well, we did talk about though was the fact that these are pretty broad categories and that's something	02:41:45
	that can be discussed and explored over the next year.	02:41:50
	Both at the joint committee and then at the definitely with the council is what is the priorities that we want to set in these	02:41:56
	very broad categories. I mean even the thing we struggled with is even saying that we're going to have the CAC review the	02:42:02
	categories and then review these projects against them. One of the categories is other. So they're not going to be able to really	02:42:08
	disqualify anything there. It's all going to be just prioritizing.	02:42:15
	Which things meet the priorities and the goals of the city? And for the record, we weren't the only one that brought that up with	02:42:22
	President Zacharias.	02:42:25
	Wanted clarification as to what the categories meant and if we're actually.	02:42:29
	Creating ideas that fall in those categories. But it was advised by their counsel that we cannot change that language. Oh, that's	02:42:35
	an opinion. It's a legal opinion and I get it. But when we have a system that's kind of not functioning properly, can't we meet at	02:42:42
	the table and say, hey, how can we make this clearer, cleaner and better for our community? Is that?	02:42:50
	Not a possibility.	02:42:59
	The council could always make that ask. It's I, I think the, well, it sounds like President Zacharias may have even made a little	02:43:02
	bit of ask. I mean, because I just, it's just funny to see shoreline protection here. Really. What are you talking about? RIP rap,	02:43:10
	A roll of RIP rap for $100,000 that we could give to the Army Corps of Engineers. I mean, there's, there's nothing we could do to.	02:43:18
	Shoreline protection, then you don't fund that, then you move to community development opportunity, opportunistic or other. My	02:43:26
	point, religious stuff we do is another can I?	02:43:32
	Yes. So in the past I was told because I've asked this questions for years in the past I was told by various city managers that	02:43:39
	the money is there to assist with any sand that's displaced from the beach, such as the volleyball courts or an ADA mat. You know,	02:43:46
	after you pull up the ADA mat, the sands displaced so you bring in more sand to replenish. So I mean, I think we just have to	02:43:53
	think out-of-the-box and and come up with how we might find projects that fit within that.	02:44:00
	Category but it's in writing and it cannot be changed so.	02:44:08
	Actually, I'm.	02:44:13
	I'm not sure that it can be changed. I could, I could certainly take a look at that and research it. But a settlement agreement	02:44:14
	that's been signed off by everybody, mayors, it really just cannot be changed. You can meet and see if the parties will amend it	02:44:21
	or come up with a new agreement that could possibly be done. A settlement agreement has to go back to court and have court	02:44:28
	approval over the process and.	02:44:35
	It's not something we as a body who are not part of that process.	02:44:42
	Can't change that. But don't say you can't, because I just heard you can and there's a process for that and.	02:44:45
	So.	02:44:53
	We have a recommendation.	02:44:56
	With no are there any public comments regarding this recommendation against this item? Actually #15 no public comments. Thank you.	02:44:58
	So, any further comments and questions?	02:45:03
	Seeing none, can I have a motion to approve the process?	02:45:09
	Move to approve. Have a second.	02:45:12
	Thank you, Madam Clerk. So the recommendation is, do I need to read the right? The recommendation is to receive a summary of the	02:45:14
	Citizen Advisory Commission's or CAC comments and recommendations regarding the proposed Community Benefit Fund or CBF review	02:45:21
	process and approve a revised procedure for the 2025 CBF process that includes an application process and structure CAC review. We	02:45:28
	have a motion in a second already on the record. Madam Clerk, please.	02:45:34
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	02:45:42
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:45:45
	OK.	02:45:48
	Let's move on to City Manager. Comments and reports Mr. City Manager.	02:45:50
	Thank you.	02:45:54
	I have a.	02:45:56
	I have a couple of slides.	02:46:01
	I'll try to keep it brief.	02:46:03
	So we just had a couple slides, mostly a little bit looking, just one slide looking back at some things we did over the summer	02:46:06
	that we wanted to highlight and then looking forward to this weekend. So I'll get to that. But we wanted to call out 2 events that	02:46:13
	we did over the summer break. We actually did a few. But the National Night Out, which also then ended up sort of tying in with	02:46:20
	the Sister City committee, ended up being something we were really happy with and really proud about.	02:46:27
	Really bringing out.	02:46:35
	The community to participate in National Night Out and which is really intended to build that police community partnership. So we	02:46:37
	did that last month and then yesterday people may have seen the line going down the the beach. We for the first time we're able to	02:46:44
	get on our beach the Rams on the one.	02:46:52
	Mobile Rams vehicle, the Rams House vehicle I think is what they call it and.	02:47:02
	We had him out yesterday on Labor Day at our beach and it went pretty well. And I think we got a lot of positive feedback. And I	02:47:08
	think most of the negative feedback is there was a long line and there were no Rams football players and there were no players.	02:47:15
	Yeah, yeah. I think they had some cheerleaders in the mascot and some giveaways. So, so quite the crowd for that. We heard about	02:47:22
	people coming from three to two to three hours away to to come out and and see that.	02:47:28
	So I think they were happy overall.	02:47:36
	No, I don't know. We've heard, we definitely have heard some feedback from people saying they thought players would be there, but	02:47:40
	we heard a lot of feedback from people who were, who were happy with it. So hopefully most people feel that way.	02:47:46
	So it was the first time we've done it. They've they've gone out to some beaches before and I think last year they went to Ventura	02:47:52
	Beach. So this is the first year we we got them to come out to Hawaii, so.	02:47:57
	And then that leads to next week. And like I mentioned earlier, the forecast right now for the rest of the county shows 100° and	02:48:03
	it will be 79 as usual in Port Hueneme. And we'll have our beach fest on September 7th and 8th. So anybody looking to get out of	02:48:11
	the heat can come visit September 7th and 8th, 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM free admission, free parking, and.	02:48:19
	We've started to finalize our event schedule, so this is the first time we're we're showing that, but we're having a high school	02:48:28
	marching band competition.	02:48:32
	Saturday, I'm sorry, not a competition, a showcase. Saturday at 11:00 AM, That'll be followed immediately by at 12:00. We're doing	02:48:36
	our Hero Award presentation and then we're also going to recognize those high school marching bands at that time, so that should	02:48:41
	be fun.	02:48:46
	And then at 2:00 PM, Bruno and the Hooligans, which is a Bruno Mars tribute act and something we haven't ever had before. So	02:48:52
	they'll be here at 2:00, five o'clock, a tribute to Mana, Corazon de Mana, which is I don't think, well, we didn't have them last	02:48:58
	year. I don't know if we've had them in the past, but we were trying to, to get groups that appealed to all the different parts of	02:49:04
	our community. And then Sunday, 11:00 AM, we'll have the smooth sounds of Santana. 2:00 PM, Twisted Gypsy, Fleetwood Mac	02:49:10
	reimagined which?	02:49:15
	They're always a favorite, it seems like. And 5:00 PM we have a band coming out and so and that's on the mainstage. And then one	02:49:21
	thing we're going to do a little different this year is on the Tony Young Community stage. We're going to have a couple of acts	02:49:28
	out on that stage at the times where there's not music going on the mainstage. So so there should be something for everyone at	02:49:35
	Beachfest and then bringing back the sandcastle contests and.	02:49:42
	We'll be having that.	02:49:50
	And we actually need some judges, so I'll be bugging council members about maybe doing that. And then the beach wrestling	02:49:51
	tournament and and then all the all the other good stuff, the live music, arts and crafts, vendor booths and carnival rides. So	02:49:58
	it's this weekend and a good excuse to get out of the heat.	02:50:05
	And then looking forward even further, we got two big events coming up. We have Coastal Cleanup Day on September 21st.	02:50:12
	We'll do 5:30 to 6:30 at Booker Park. Another feedback we heard was a lot of people said we've never done one of these at Volcker	02:50:50
	Park. So we're going to give that a shot and it'll be informal. And my hope is I think the plan is to have the mayor and mayor Pro	02:50:56
	Tem there and some police representatives, public works and myself. And we'll be just be there to answer questions or take	02:51:02
	feedback from the community. So we'll get more information on that out to the public. But that's coming up on Wednesday, September	02:51:08
	18th.	02:51:14
	And then on our next agenda, September 16th, right now we have 3 presentations scheduled, National Suicide Prevention Month,	02:51:22
	Banana Festival Proclamation. And then we had a request several months ago and we've just had non-stop, we've had a lot of	02:51:29
	presentations. So we had a request from Community Action to come to a presentation on their programming and they're doing a lot of	02:51:36
	good things. So we wanted to make sure we we get them in to talk about some of the.	02:51:43
	Projects and programs they're doing, so they'll be our third presentation on that agenda. And then right now the three big	02:51:51
	business items are.	02:51:55
	The Bubbling Springs playground contract is coming back, the council had approved.	02:52:01
	Almost the whole project except for the playground, because we were doing both at the same time to try to keep the project moving	02:52:07
	and it's actually working and things are lining up. But now we're at the point where we've gone through an RFP and we need to get	02:52:14
	the contract approved for the Bubbling Springs Playground. So that'll come back. And then we have that grand jury county wide	02:52:22
	report that said the whole county needs to get on a regional radio system. So we have the item coming back on that.	02:52:29
	At the next meeting. And then we mentioned a couple months ago that we were looking at doing an ADA evaluation.	02:52:36
	Americans with Disabilities Act evaluation and transition plan for the city. And so that's going to be coming back to council as	02:52:45
	well. We've got some bids on that. So, so those are three big business items that we're planning to bring back on the 16th.	02:52:51
	And that's everything I have.	02:52:59
	Thank you. Any questions for City Manager Vega?	02:53:02
	Wrestling's on Saturday and Sunday, or just Saturday.	02:53:06
	Trying to remember.	02:53:12
	It's OK. You can, you can, you can let me know later this week. Yeah, I think that's Saturday and the Sandcastle Sunday. But we'll	02:53:14
	when we do our update, we'll no worries. We'll reiterate that. And for the record, I will be appearing at that meeting via Zoom.	02:53:21
	So it'll be mayor Pro Tem leading the meeting on the 16th.	02:53:28
	September. Isn't that the next meeting, The next council meeting? Next council meeting?	02:53:37
	And I am very sad about that because it'll be the suicide prevention proclamation, but.	02:53:40
	I'll be dialing in, yeah, but I don't know if it's clear enough to.	02:53:47
	Read, but I'll leave that for someone else to read if they want.	02:53:50
	Anyone else?	02:53:55
	Questions, Comments for Vega. OK, so we'll move on to Councilman reports and comments.	02:53:56
	I feel like August was such a long time ago. It's just that.	02:54:03
	3rd of September so far. There was so much that was going on in August, just for the record.	02:54:08
	I think Mayor Pro Tem.	02:54:14
	Hit it right on the nail that we had the three-point shooting contest, the kite event, the winding me fun run. We had the sister	02:54:18
	city visit which they were here for a couple days and that was really nice. We were able to get the.	02:54:24
	Ron to come and do the dance and then we had the mariachi that for the National Night Out event. That was nice.	02:54:32
	The mural projects moving forward. So we had a meeting for that too. I think everybody's going to be thrilled with with artists	02:54:38
	came out with and we had the pickleball tournament, which was a big success. If you guys didn't go registered for the next one,	02:54:43
	it's going to be mixed double s and.	02:54:49
	I also want to mention.	02:54:56
	That I'm really happy to to be on this Councilman like I was reflecting a lot. It's, you know, I'm not running again. And I just	02:55:00
	want to say it's I'm going to miss you guys, but I know it's a little premature, but I, I love you guys and I love the city and I	02:55:05
	love everyone and I'm so happy to be here. So just thank you for for the for me being here so.	02:55:11
	See.	02:55:18
	Yeah, it's funny, I grabbed the wrong notebook and I have my notes welcoming you and Misty to our council.	02:55:20
	Nearly four years ago. It's right here. Welcome to our newest City Council members. So yeah, it's been a great 3.5.	02:55:28
	Years that I know.	02:55:36
	Really appreciate everybody for all the hard work we do and it's not easy anyone thinks it is. Trust me, it's not a.	02:55:38
	I did not attend the the Port Visioning Strategic Plan.	02:55:47
	But I did spend an hour and a half looking at looking over their strategic plan online.	02:55:52
	And.	02:56:01
	I just think that we need to be more vocal in.	02:56:05
	Whatever you do at the port, it affects the city of Port Hueneme because we are the gateway out of the port and I started thinking	02:56:11
	about.	02:56:16
	Years ago in 1981 when they first started bringing cars in, that so happens that coincide with the revenue sharing agreement,	02:56:24
	which I still think is in place.	02:56:29
	From 1981 a lot has changed, but the agreement hasn't, so I think.	02:56:35
	And then to look at.	02:56:42
	A very aggressive plan that they have, it's going to impact our city. And so I just want to.	02:56:44
	We need to be more involved. I think we need to consider the impacts that we need to be able to discuss them openly and.	02:56:54
	And strategically because?	02:57:03
	Whatever they do at the port impacts the residents, particularly the residents here and.	02:57:06
	And it's a big impact. And when they first started bringing cars in, they thought it was such a big impact that they entered into	02:57:14
	an agreement with us. And apparently, you know, we haven't the City Council since then, you know, we haven't reviewed them and	02:57:21
	updated them. And so I think that time is coming for that. And and that's, that's what I got out of reviewing their strategic plan	02:57:27
	is like, well, what's our strategic plan for dealing with the port? So.	02:57:34
	Maybe we should. Maybe.	02:57:42
	Hopefully we could get something on the agenda soon so we can start talking about some of these hard stop issues like the revenue	02:57:44
	sharing agreement.	02:57:49
	I think it's been a great summer.	02:57:56
	I'm sad it's over.	02:57:59
	Yesterday we had our Labor Day community BBQ, which we've been doing for many years now, and I was a little concerned about the	02:58:01
	Rams event.	02:58:06
	They showed up at 6:00 AM. They were great. They were very, very respectful of our beach.	02:58:12
	And I was out there at 6:00 AM. Actually, I was out there earlier. In fact, I was out there.	02:58:19
	All night cooking a brisket.	02:58:25
	The fans were so excited. I took Wanami Beach cards and I walked the whole line and taught in the Riverside, Bakersfield, Irvine,	02:58:31
	San Diego. I mean, these people came from everywhere and.	02:58:37
	They weren't angry standing in line. They're the happiest group of people I've ever met. And they're so appreciative of the	02:58:44
	weather. I think maybe that's why they were all smiling, because they came from places. Even if you go to Thousand Oaks, it's hot,	02:58:52
	right? But Wanami Beach, are you kidding me? We, we forget how nice we have it. And so, yeah, it was just wonderful seeing these	02:58:59
	people and so many people never been to the city before they came here. And they're like, where are we going?	02:59:06
	You know, you're off the freeway, you're off the beaten path, and so.	02:59:14
	I hope they come back and they're a great bunch of people. And they have these signs. If you look at the photograph that City	02:59:19
	Manager Vega put up, they had these signs that said, Port Hueneme, I go, man, what are you going to do with those signs? And he	02:59:27
	gave them to me. And so I have them to give and, and have them to give to our city manager. And I forgot to bring him, but.	02:59:35
	They're super signs and I hope we could put one in here. Who knows we'll but he was gladly to to give him and say, you know this	02:59:44
	is for your city and so.	02:59:48
	I should have brought him, but I'll get him to you.	02:59:54
	I don't have anything else except closeout the summer.	02:59:56
	Strong Council member Hernandez thank you. I had a really good summer it was a busy summer while we were dark meetings still	03:00:00
	continued and we but they were they were good meetings I I participated in the SCAG hosted visit to the port last week I also	03:00:08
	participated in the strategic planning session. I thought it was very helpful and I appreciated the opportunity to weigh in my.	03:00:16
	My thoughts and and my comments on their strategic plan, which I did.	03:00:26
	Let's see what else. The sister city event was great. Bobby did a great job organizing and and making sure we filled the time and	03:00:32
	everybody had a great time. We got to use this the fire pits on the beach, which was which was a lot of fun so.	03:00:40
	I just wanted to, aside from everything going on this summer, I just wanted to also mention that this month is National Emergency	03:00:49
	Preparedness Month, will also be honoring a 911 anniversary on 9/11. The fire department, I imagine, will be doing their flag	03:00:57
	ceremony as usual. So if anybody can make it there at 7:00 AM, that's the time to be out in front of our local fire station here.	03:01:04
	And it's also a National Hispanic Heritage Month.	03:01:11
	Unfortunately, none of these three made it to our on our agenda for for a proclamation. I I think we have a policy now that we can	03:01:19
	only have 3 proclamations on our.	03:01:25
	Our agendas is that is that the rule now? Well, it's more that the council has to request items. So if if the council wanted to	03:01:33
	request items, they could so.	03:01:37
	OK. Can I, can I request at this point one for National Emergency Preparedness Month and maybe combine it with 9/11 for our next	03:01:42
	meeting? So you're saying in addition to the three on the next meeting? Yeah. Should we do that under future agenda items? OK.	03:01:49
	Yeah, otherwise I'm I'm done. It's a late night getting along. Mary put him.	03:01:58
	We attended some of the events over the last month and a half, some of them.	03:02:07
	Councilmember.	03:02:13
	I just forget your last name, Martinez. I do that. I do that.	03:02:18
	Yeah. And then?	03:02:29
	RDP We had our annual dinner celebration last week, Councilmember Hernandez and I.	03:02:32
	I was able to go to that.	03:02:37
	On the end of this month, the 29th through October the 2nd.	03:02:40
	I'll be attending with GCTD, the American Public Transit Association conference. They'll be supporting it financially.	03:02:47
	Both myself as Vice Chair and Mike Johnson from Ventura, who's the chair of the committee will be going so.	03:02:57
	That's the end of the month and we had our July city port meeting.	03:03:05
	Of course, we all went to the scholarship celebration and.	03:03:12
	I did go to the.	03:03:17
	The ports strategic plan meeting, which was identical.	03:03:19
	Some updates, but it was.	03:03:25
	Mostly information.	03:03:28
	That was shared in the January meeting and they were collecting comments for an addendum for.	03:03:30
	Their strategic plan.	03:03:37
	The last one is last thing is that.	03:03:41
	For Whitening Beach festival Saturday, I have.	03:03:45
	Appointment that I can't cancel, so I'll be there late in the afternoon on Saturday.	03:03:47
	And.	03:03:54
	Coastal cleanup, I know that's coming at the end of the month.	03:03:55
	Yeah, so.	03:04:02
	One of my external organizations is participating so just need some information so I can provide.	03:04:04
	Yeah, just let me know. I'd be happy to provide you with whatever you need.	03:04:14
	OK.	03:04:20
	Yes.	03:04:24
	Well.	03:04:26
	Texting is better sometimes, but on the you know, as a reflecting.	03:04:29
	Wanami Beach down to Ormond Beach is so clean that.	03:04:35
	We really well compared to the years past, I mean when we're filling up dumpsters, I mean it is so clean, it's amazing, it's	03:04:41
	wonderful. So our theme is going to have to be focused on micro stuff, which again is important. But the days of lugging TV's and	03:04:49
	couches, there is one couch out there, but other than that, so it's a good problem to have.	03:04:58
	You know the beach isn't.	03:05:08
	So then you can celebrate the fact that our beach is so clean. Yeah, yeah, yeah.	03:05:10
	Thank you.	03:05:17
	The only thing I have to say is the port.	03:05:18
	City meeting. We pretty much discussed during this discussion what the gist of that meeting was. There wasn't much.	03:05:21
	To tell and otherwise and I did not attend any other meetings so I have no reporting out on anything or any comments to give.	03:05:28
	So I will move on to requests for future agenda items.	03:05:38
	Councilman Gamma.	03:05:43
	I don't know how to state this other than should we not have an agenda item to begin discussions with the port on a revenue	03:05:46
	sharing agreements or?	03:05:52
	I don't know if we I do know that they're going to expire.	03:06:02
	10 years.	03:06:09
	But anyways, I feel like we I would like to make a request to have an agenda item so that we could discuss revenue sharing	03:06:12
	agreements and port relations.	03:06:16
	I'll second.	03:06:22
	Yeah. I was going to just say, I think it's just up to the council whether when they want to have that those conversations. So I	03:06:25
	think we should have it at it.	03:06:29
	1st and 2nd All in favor aye, all opposed.	03:06:33
	None. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you. Any further agenda items for Mr. Gama?	03:06:39
	Council Member Hernandez, Thank you. Mayor, yes, I would like to ask, you know, it's funny because I I've seen proclamation show	03:06:45
	up on the agenda and they haven't been asked to be an agenda item, but OK, I'll ask National Emergency Preparedness Month if we	03:06:50
	could do a proclamation.	03:06:55
	On that I would.	03:07:00
	Like to request.	03:07:02
	A second so that we can recognize second.	03:07:04
	11 Thank you.	03:07:07
	And then just a reminder, so we have 3 scheduled suicide National Suicide Prevention Month, Banana Fest proclamation and Community	03:07:09
	Action. So you can either ask to put this in place of one of those other items or to have more than three presentations. My, I	03:07:14
	think the question earlier is that is there a new policy that we only have 3 presentations? No, it's my recommendation that we	03:07:20
	only have 3 presentations. And I think tonight was a good example of why because they were great, but they did take like 40	03:07:26
	minutes, so.	03:07:32
	So just to try to have time to get to the business, I don't think this would take that long.	03:07:38
	OK. So then we have a second, sorry. And then just to confirm, it would be for September 16th, you're requesting the program?	03:07:45
	OK.	03:07:53
	Oh, sorry, all in favor.	03:07:58
	Aye, all opposed.	03:07:59
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	03:08:02
	And the other item I have is a document that I've asked our city attorney to share with the council. It's related to discussion on	03:08:05
	commitment to nonprofit causes and public service. It's out of AB 1224 self study materials. And it's, I think it's worth reading	03:08:11
	if any one of us are attached to a nonprofit, has an elected official, I think it's really worth looking at the conflict of	03:08:18
	interest and bias that we we would want to avoid.	03:08:25
	In our workings with the with the city.	03:08:32
	So I'm going to hand this over to the city clerk for distribution in our I guess you can make coffees and put them in our Bacchus.	03:08:36
	The number of the 12:34.	03:08:51
	Do you have any agenda items?	03:09:02
	Thank you. So is anything else need to be discussed before we go? Otherwise I'm going to adjourn this meeting. You do OK, Go	03:09:07
	ahead. Sure.	03:09:12
	To our city manager so city manager, I just want to say thank you. I'm not sure how much work you put into getting the lights done	03:09:18
	on cross Jack thank you. And so it's really nice it's been I don't know how many years ago, four years. It's nice to have them	03:09:24
	there and they're on and I.	03:09:30
	If if it can be done easily.	03:09:38
	And if you can share the information, I would like to know how much does it cost to do a job like that? OK, I'd like to be able to	03:09:43
	communicate that to my.	03:09:49
	The residents in my community, yeah. And so that folks know it's not just something when things don't happen.	03:09:57
	Yeah. And I think that it's funny because it costs more than people probably realize. And then, and I know it's not on the agenda,	03:10:05
	so I can't get into it. But the last thing too is also I think the open secret in the county state maybe at this point is that	03:10:11
	it's also just hard to get Edison, Southern California Edison to focus on on one project like that when they're out doing huge	03:10:17
	projects and developments and everything else, so.	03:10:23
	So we can get that information. It's more expensive than people think, but we'll get that information. And then just credit to	03:10:30
	Fred Camarillo and Charles Cable, who did the the heavy lifting on that project to really push it over the finish line.	03:10:36
	And sorry, I will make a correction. It wasn't four years. It was because I haven't been here four years. It was like.	03:10:43
	A little. It was a little after I started SO.	03:10:51
	It was a while.	03:10:54
	OK, so and nothing further, I'm going to adjourn this meeting. The time is 9:30.	03:10:57
	941.	03:11:04
