	Here, Council Member Hernandez. Here Council Member Martinez present.	00:00:03
	And Mayor Perez here. Tonight's inspiration will be given by Council Member Steven Gama.	00:00:08
	Thank you very much, Mayor Perez. Let me see if I get this up. So inspiration is the most enjoyable part of being on City Council.	00:00:15
	I like to go into the community and find people who are truly being inspirational. And I have this control here. So dance. Dance	00:00:23
	to the beat of your dreams. I used to work for the Oxford Union High School District and 20 years ago I.	00:00:31
	Was there doing my job and I see these kids dancing in the corridor and one of those dancers.	00:00:40
	Is now the teacher and the coach for the program at Channel Islands High School. So they've always valued dancing and they're very	00:00:45
	serious about it. And just about every day in the afternoon after school, you'd see them practicing. Currently the principal is	00:00:52
	Marianne Ramos. And in the middle is that student I was talking about, Mark Rocket on Coach Rock. He is now the instructor of the	00:00:58
	dance program.	00:01:05
	This is him down in the bottom right.	00:01:12
	Back in the 2000 when he was a student at Channel Islands High School. And so he's come back and he's now the teacher of the	00:01:15
	program. And a couple weeks ago at the Savvy Senior event, we did a Halloween thriller type.	00:01:23
	Event and I called mark and I said hey would the kids be willing to come over and dance He goes absolutely I he goes what do you	00:01:31
	want us to do I'll just do a thriller thing can you do that and and sure enough they they came and they stole the show the seniors	00:01:37
	loved them they were dancing with them and it was just so uplifting to see these kids perform and let's see if this works I just	00:01:43
	want to give you a little bit of a.	00:01:49
	This is the exact performance they did at the Banana Festival.	00:01:58
	And.	00:02:03
	They redid that for for us for the Savvy Singer event.	00:02:04
	So if you know anything about teenagers, trying to get 40 of them to do the same thing at the same time, kind of difficult.	00:02:08
	But they're so professional and so into the craft of dancing that they've really taken into it. Oh, there we are. We got some of	00:02:16
	them here. They've taken it to a national level and they've they've received a national awards. I'm so glad you're all coming in.	00:02:22
	All right.	00:02:27
	I love the fact that you're wearing your Channel Islands. Look at this. They're just coming in droves.	00:02:38
	Yeah, so I was just telling the council how dedicated you all are to dance and how inspirational you are when you go out and	00:02:45
	perform and that you you've received national recognition for your dancing. And I was trying to express to my colleagues up here	00:02:53
	how much fun we had the other night at the Ocean View Pavilion. Do you agree?	00:03:00
	And so the seniors, I was like, man, how is this going to go? I didn't know how I was going to go. But the seniors say absolutely	00:03:09
	loved it.	00:03:13
	And they came forward and they danced and everybody was having a great time. And so I called Mark Coach and I said, hey, you think	00:03:16
	you could do a thriller rendition because that's the theme of the night. And he goes, oh, yeah, we could do it. And then, OK, so	00:03:22
	they showed up and.	00:03:27
	Now those screams are coming from the seniors.	00:03:38
	But truly inspirational, you guys. I don't know how you do it, but man you.	00:03:44
	Getting 40 kids to do the same thing at one time, in the short amount of time that you had to learn this routine, it was magical.	00:03:49
	Fellow colleagues up here will encourage you to continue your dreams, chase your dreams, dance to your dreams and.	00:03:58
	It was just such an enjoyable night. So we had dinner together, right. We had dinner and then we we passed the hat and.	00:04:06
	Generous seniors of the city of Port Bohemia.	00:04:14
	They came up with $1000 in donations to support the program. So.	00:04:19
	We.	00:04:24
	We couldn't be more happy for the dance team at Channels High School. Coach rock, you rock.	00:04:29
	Hopefully we'll be able to see you in White Amy Beach Festival, Banana Festival again. But I hope hope to make this relationship,	00:04:35
	which is possible to the future. So I have a certificate for you. I'd like to.	00:04:40
	Can we get a picture?	00:05:00
	Councilmember Gama.	00:05:46
	Get a picture of everyone.	00:05:48
	Yeah.	00:05:50
	You got it too.	00:06:14
	Thank you.	00:06:21
	Thank you.	00:06:26
	Right.	00:06:41
	Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Take care.	00:06:46
	All right. I thought I was. They weren't gonna make it.	00:06:52
	Let's go.	00:06:56
	See you again.	00:06:58
	I don't know if I got to my last slide, but basically it's.	00:07:02
	You know kids when they're given the proper.	00:07:06
	Tools, they shine, they step up and they do great things. And I couldn't be happier with their performance at the Savvy Seniors	00:07:10
	event. And they hit the boards, as I say, in Broadway. So thank you.	00:07:17
	Thank you. Very well done. That was great to see.	00:07:25
	We move on to public comments. We will now hear public comments not pertaining to items on the agenda. Comments are limited to	00:07:29
	three minutes. This process will be the same for comments pertaining to each agenda item. Madam Clerk, do we have any public	00:07:33
	comments tonight? Yes. First up is Timothy Fergal.	00:07:38
	To give us some bad news.	00:07:45
	Good evening, Mayor Perez, Mayor Pro Tem McQueen Lejeune, esteemed council members, city staff, members of the public. My name is	00:07:51
	Tim Fergal. I'm the city librarian for Port Hueneme working with the Ventura County Library. Just wanted to give you a few updates	00:07:58
	about the status of the construction project and then some personal news. So we'll lead with the construction project.	00:08:05
	Like I had mentioned during the last community update, the.	00:08:12
	Restoration of the damages has been completed at this point. We have recently closed up the ceiling of the library, which is	00:08:17
	exciting progress. We're very happy about that and you'll start to notice some more work crews as we begin the planned	00:08:23
	construction project, which we were awarded a grant right before the flooding happened. So expect a little bit more activity out	00:08:29
	of the library at this point.	00:08:35
	Now, as far as the item of personal news, this will be my last meeting. I have accepted a position as an executive director of a	00:08:43
	library out of state. It has been a pleasure to work with all of you to serve the community of Port Hueneme and to provide, you	00:08:50
	know, world class library services to the people in Ventura County. So I just wanted to thank you again for your partnership, your	00:08:57
	creativity, great sense of humor. You know, you really made me feel at home the past two years.	00:09:04
	And just thank you very much again for the opportunity to deserve port. Why need me? Thank you, thank you, and congratulations.	00:09:11
	Greg Ross.	00:09:22
	Good evening, Mayor. Mr. Perez, Mayor Pro Tem.	00:09:33
	And council members.	00:09:38
	Mr. Vega.	00:09:40
	I I've lived in Port Hueneme since 2001. My name is Greg Ross and I currently reside.	00:09:42
	Very close to the port over near Market Street.	00:09:53
	And I think you might have this in front of you.	00:09:57
	But before I get started.	00:10:01
	It's pretty apropos that that group. I love the energy of the young people.	00:10:04
	And I see all these pictures. It's great. The, you know, sadly, Quincy Jones died today. And so that was pretty apropos to hear	00:10:10
	Thriller who he made it famous.	00:10:17
	So anyway.	00:10:24
	Going forward.	00:10:27
	I really appreciate this city more than you might imagine. Just three days ago I was walking my dogs.	00:10:29
	And there was a landscape person.	00:10:37
	He was so friendly and he said hello. And that's what I find from this city. The city has a lot of very you. You hire the right	00:10:40
	people.	00:10:45
	You know, you, you, you put in speed bumps out in the market and and Surfside. That's great. Thank you for listening. So I'm	00:10:51
	asking now today to look at this. This is a little map that I drew.	00:10:59
	We obviously live in the Anacapa Beach homes.	00:11:07
	And Seaview is right behind us.	00:11:11
	And I can't tell you how many people, it's very sad. I had a family member who was homeless. It's very sad. Some of these people	00:11:15
	live in their cars right there on Seaview, on the on the South side of Seaview between Market and Ventura Rd.	00:11:22
	There's trash everywhere. I didn't burden you with all the pictures.	00:11:31
	But I have them.	00:11:37
	This is one week.	00:11:38
	This is all one week, it happens every day, and so our HOA pays somebody to pick up all this trash.	00:11:40
	It's it's sad that that that that people are living in their cars like that. But there's there's noise. The other day there was a	00:11:48
	hit and run right on Market and Ventura Rd.	00:11:55
	I don't know what happened because this is the the Port Wayne Amy Police Department that said there was a hit and run. I didn't	00:12:03
	follow up on it.	00:12:07
	But we're asking for you.	00:12:12
	Only got 20 seconds left? We're asking for you to consider.	00:12:14
	A 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM curfew on parking there so that they'd have to a lot of residents.	00:12:20
	I'm going to go over one second.	00:12:32
	A lot of residents from the apartments parked on that street and and so we get it, there's surfers that come, there's people from	00:12:34
	the port that come to have their lunches, etcetera. I'm just asking to consider whether we can put in a 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM	00:12:43
	parking by permit only so that we.	00:12:51
	Curtail some of this trash, some of the noise and some of the other things. So thank you for listening.	00:13:01
	Dulce Satterfield.	00:13:09
	Yeah, Mayor, if I can comment on that just briefly. It's not on the agenda, so we can't debate it. But we are as staff starting to	00:13:13
	work on some parking analysis that we are going to try to bring a proposal to the council on to look at parking citywide. Because	00:13:19
	we're we're getting a lot of questions and requests related to parking and things like permits and and not allowing parking in	00:13:25
	certain locations at certain times. And we want to make sure we're looking at the city really holistically when we are talking	00:13:31
	about that so.	00:13:36
	We'll be bringing a proposal to the council at an upcoming meeting to start talking about doing some analysis for parking.	00:13:42
	And in the meantime, we were aware of the issue on Seaview. So we did have our public works team go out a couple weeks back. But I	00:13:49
	think to the point.	00:13:53
	That Mister Ross made that the there are a couple people who seem to be dumping trash there more regularly so we'll we'll keep an	00:14:00
	eye on that in the meantime so.	00:14:03
	Good evening, Mayor Perez and.	00:14:19
	Mayor Pro Tem McQueen legend and all council members. I'm Dulce Satterfield. I'm not here to.	00:14:22
	Talk on the topic I covered in July, but on economic development. That topic came up the same night I was here in front of you and	00:14:28
	I didn't stay past the kind of bogged down discussion on the mural. So it was the hour was late. So it was only weeks later that I	00:14:37
	watched the economic development presentation online and appreciate that I could access it there.	00:14:46
	It seemed that you there was some sentiment towards couldn't we?	00:14:55
	Vote on this later because there hasn't been much comment and then it was seemed to be a conclusion that well, we can we can vote	00:15:01
	on it tonight and then there can still be more consideration of the the whole economic development package. So I just thought I'd	00:15:08
	throw in my very impromptu comments. I thought about it while I was driving back from Ojai and.	00:15:16
	First of all, I.	00:15:25
	The part time.	00:15:29
	Technician or aide position.	00:15:31
	To support the economic development, I'm I'm in favor of that.	00:15:34
	I don't know if you've seriously looked at it or put it off. I worked in a part-time capacity for the city of Mountlake Terrace in	00:15:38
	Washington state. It wasn't economic development, it was energy management aid. But the city needed that, that part-time	00:15:43
	assistance and.	00:15:48
	I successfully prepared grant applications and got projects.	00:15:55
	Started the implementation when the money was awarded and a number number of other things and I think the model could fit well	00:16:03
	with the economic development that one caveat I want to give is that it's very easy for someone who is in a part time no benefits	00:16:09
	or low benefits status to be looking elsewhere. And so if you bring in a part timer, ideally the job is shaped in the way that	00:16:15
	the.	00:16:21
	All the.	00:16:27
	The knowledge the the in progress work can be very easily transferred to somebody new and that you don't have a gap for too long	00:16:29
	on anything critical if you go with that part time model.	00:16:35
	Then.	00:16:44
	I wanted to say I realize there's some challenge with the whole retail situation as with other cities. And I want to say I	00:16:46
	personally visited Tranquest Canyon a number of times on mostly Fridays when they had these events and one shop after another,	00:16:53
	they were either shutting down, relocating somewhere very far away. It was just a tough go. You have different circumstances here,	00:17:01
	but I just want to say it's it's challenging and if if there's, if you have, if there's.	00:17:08
	I don't know. You just got to try, try again, but don't put all your I would not put all your bets on on the build up of the	00:17:15
	retail. Thank you.	00:17:19
	That concludes public comment for this section.	00:17:25
	Mayor, if I could just note on that point that we are going to bring a report back in coming probably probably a couple months	00:17:28
	from now starting to look at implementing some of those projects. So we will have opportunities to talk about the economic	00:17:33
	development plan in future council meetings. Thank you. We'll now move on to agenda approval. May I have a motion and a second to	00:17:39
	approve the agenda?	00:17:44
	So moved.	00:17:52
	2nd Madam Clerk.	00:17:54
	All in favor? Aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you. Do any members of Council have any conflicts of	00:17:57
	interest to disclose for any item on the agenda?	00:18:02
	Not seeing any? We'll move on to presentations. The presentation tonight is the invitation to the community to attend the City of	00:18:10
	Port Huenemes Veteran Day ceremony.	00:18:14
	Thank you. And we just wanted to take a moment. We always talk about these items at the end of the meeting, but we know that	00:18:20
	especially when we have long meetings, sometimes we lose people along the way. So we wanted to take an opportunity to announce	00:18:28
	this up front at the start of this meeting. And this meeting ended up being perfectly timed because veteran's day somehow is next	00:18:35
	week. It doesn't feel like November already, but next Monday is November 11th. And so we will have our veteran's day.	00:18:42
	Here at City Hall at 8:30 AM next Monday and we're pretty excited about the program this year, so we wanted to make sure that we	00:18:50
	got word out and that we invite our community to participate. We have two great speakers this year. 1 is historically we've	00:18:56
	actually.	00:19:02
	Not really been able to get.	00:19:09
	One of the captains from our Navy base, because they have so many other events that they attend and including on the base of that	00:19:12
	day, but we were able to coordinate with them in advance. And we have Captain Daniel S Bentsey, who is a captain and deputy	00:19:18
	Commodore of the Airborne Command and Control and Logistics Wing, will be our keynote speaker, which is something we're proud of	00:19:24
	that we get to have representation from our.	00:19:31
	Navy base located in our community.	00:19:38
	And then on top of that, we have a special veteran tribute this year for Orvin S Carpenter, who also will be celebrating his 100th	00:19:41
	birthday shortly. And you may recall that we.	00:19:49
	Were able to honor him last council meeting by approving the use of the OR being Carpenter Center for his 100th birthday. But we	00:19:57
	also were able to in the meantime, convince him to come out and receive a special tribute on our veteran's day ceremony next	00:20:04
	Monday. So we're very excited about that. We noted last meeting that his his credentials are pretty impressive. He's a veteran who	00:20:11
	served in the Marines during World War 2, the Army during the Korean War.	00:20:18
	And also served as postmaster in White, Port Hueneme and Oxnard.	00:20:26
	As well as the longest serving Portland Amy council member for with 32 years serving and so.	00:20:30
	We're really excited to honor him in advance of his 100th birthday and thank him for his service to our community and for serving,	00:20:39
	and so we will be honoring.	00:20:44
	Him and we will have our ceremony Monday next week at 8:30 AM just out in front of City Hall and it's open to the public and	00:20:51
	anybody who would like to attend, we invite to attend.	00:20:57
	And so thank you to the Council for letting us give that invitation out here at the top of the meeting.	00:21:03
	Thank you. We wanted the consent calendar. Will now consider items on the consent calendar which will be enacted in one motion	00:21:11
	unless a council member has a request to remove an item for discussion. Do any council members have a request to remove any items?	00:21:17
	Not seeing any. Can I have a motion in a second to approve the consent calendar?	00:21:26
	Motion to approve.	00:21:30
	2nd.	00:21:33
	Madam Clerk.	00:21:34
	All in favor.	00:21:36
	All opposed.	00:21:38
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:21:39
	Thank you.	00:21:42
	We'll now move on to public hearings.	00:21:44
	The public hearing for tonight is to adopt A resolution granting conditional permit number PHCU 24-1 to allow the installation of	00:21:46
	a 45 foot tall stealth wireless communication tower.	00:21:53
	To be located within a landscape common space corridor abutting the residential unit located at 193 W Garden Green and find the	00:21:59
	project exempt from sequa. Madam Clerk, do you have proof of publication as required by law and a complete file of reports and	00:22:05
	exhibits? Yes, Madam Mayor, thank you. Will stop. Please present the report.	00:22:12
	Yes. Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem staff. So before you today is the project PHCU 24-1 Wanami Bay Wi-Fi Tower, an application	00:22:19
	filed by Wi-Fi Harbor LLC.	00:22:27
	So the request is for installation of a wireless telecommunications facility facility consisting of a 45 foot high pole with an	00:22:38
	axillary electrical equipment to be located.	00:22:44
	At a residential common landscaping corridor, it's going to be generally located about 10 feet West of 100 or 193 W Garden Green.	00:22:52
	The purpose of this pool and wireless communication facility is to provide Internet broadband services to the residents of the	00:22:59
	Carefree Living Association known as Wanami Bay, and a conditional use permit is required for this type of new utility facility	00:23:07
	upgrade within.	00:23:14
	And the limited multifamily R2 zone.	00:23:22
	A little bit of a background story as how how we got here. On July 11th, 2024, the Carefree Living Association known as the HOA of	00:23:26
	Wanami Bay unanimously approved the project. And then on July 19th, the applicant entered into a lease agreement with the HOA for	00:23:34
	the installation of the tower, associated equipment and energy charges that would be.	00:23:42
	That would come of the tower because it was placed in the HOA common area.	00:23:51
	The applicant will be required to adhere to all Federal Communication Commission requirements, FCC and the California Public	00:23:56
	Utilities Commission CPUC regulations pertaining to these types of wireless communication facilities.	00:24:04
	The site characteristics once again the project will be located generally 10 feet West of 100 and 93rd W Garden green and a little	00:24:13
	bit about the surrounding uses. To the north it's more of the Wanami Bay multi family residential dwellings as well as single	00:24:20
	family homes. That border city of Oxnard on Hemlock to the east is with the Wanami Bay community, which composes a multi family	00:24:28
	dwellings.	00:24:35
	To the South you have the same sort of layout and then to the West it does touch on the border of the Sandpiper to multifamily	00:24:42
	residential community. And once again this is within the limited multifamily R2 zoning designation plan development.	00:24:50
	So here's the picture of the aerial site plan. As you can see, the Wi-Fi tower will encompass a small section of the northwest	00:24:58
	part of the HOA Wanami Bay community. And it won't typically be seen from public streets as it's completely going to be	00:25:06
	encompassed inside of the Wyoming Bay community.	00:25:15
	Some of the tower details like was mentioned for it's going to be a 45 utility pole with one Wi-Fi broadcasting antenna mounted to	00:25:26
	face SE in order to get as much overlay into the community and provide those wireless broadband speeds in order to meet our city	00:25:35
	requirements for stealthing. The utility pool will be a powder coated light Gray to match nearby poles.	00:25:45
	And we'll have a decorative light Gray ray cap concealment Topper that I will feature in follow up slides here. And the facility	00:25:55
	will be operated by underground fiber optic and Electroconduit terminating at a new equipment cabinet, which I will highlight in	00:26:02
	future slides and it will be painted to match the residential building that exists.	00:26:10
	So this is the tower elevation as can be seen on the bottom there all of the utilities will be undergrounded and then they'll go	00:26:18
	right up against the building. And then there is landscaping that will hide most of that conduit and any conduit that is exposed	00:26:26
	will be painted to match. The utility cabinet can also be seen to the.	00:26:34
	Right side of this diagram and then front and center again is that 45 foot pole with that ray cap Topper in order to hide some of	00:26:43
	the wiring and other antenna characteristics that would otherwise be seen.	00:26:50
	Here's the project rendering of what that will look like. Things to mention are there is a tree that is north of where the tower	00:26:59
	is going to be that will remain as well as the other landscaping features. And then turf would basically be replanted to	00:27:06
	accommodate a new turf area once it's destroyed because it was disturbed during the construction phase.	00:27:13
	As far as sequel goes, this project is exempt under Section 15303, consisting of construction and location, a limited number of	00:27:23
	new small facilities or structures, installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures. This once again, this	00:27:29
	is a utility.	00:27:34
	Financial impact. There is no financial impact associated with this application as far as strategic plan consistency. This touches	00:27:42
	on our pillar of innovation and opportunity to retain and maximize opportunities for local businesses as the backbone for our	00:27:48
	community by providing broadband services and invest in new programs and technologies to strengthen our economy and attract	00:27:54
	innovation.	00:27:59
	It is now recommended that the City Council adopt A resolution that conditionally approves PHCU #24-1 and find the project to be	00:28:07
	categorically exempt from SEQUA.	00:28:13
	And joining us tonight are two representatives from Wi-Fi Harbor, Michael Taylor and also John Welty, that are available for	00:28:19
	additional comments. And I believe that they're going to go ahead and share a couple of opening comments for their project.	00:28:27
	My name is Michael Taylor and I am the owner of Wi-Fi Harbor and this is my associate, Mr. John Welty, and he is done several of	00:28:43
	these projects before, so he's been working with me closely. Thank you for consideration, Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem and the Council.	00:28:53
	Anyway, we've been providing service in the Wyoming Bay Area and many of the harbor areas up and down the coast of California for	00:29:03
	a long time. But in Wyoming Bay, over nine years, we currently service more than half of the residents in there and we wanted to	00:29:09
	stay up with technology and offer them.	00:29:16
	Enhanced services, we have to consider going into a new technologies and that's what we're doing with this.	00:29:24
	We currently occupy antennas on their existing.	00:29:31
	Structure, they have a tower there and we're looking forward to being able to enhance that through this new location, which is in	00:29:36
	a very, very good area to cover all those residences.	00:29:43
	And.	00:29:50
	It's been nice working with Jose. He's.	00:29:53
	Been very helpful.	00:29:58
	Thank you. Have any questions?	00:30:00
	This Council have any questions?	00:30:02
	At page 37 is.	00:30:06
	The tower going to be.	00:30:09
	Against the alleyway? Or is this drawing correct? I'm not sure if it is so. Page 37.	00:30:12
	If you, I don't know if we can get back to that, but this the street is believed it's Triton Street, right? So the curve there, it	00:30:22
	is going to be positioned just inside the curb on a grassy area. It's about a 30 inch diameter. Are the garages facing the wall?	00:30:30
	No, I'm sorry. That is a blind side of the house. OK, that's what threw me off because it's not.	00:30:38
	Also that pool is located alignment wise with all the other light bulbs on the street.	00:30:47
	So as you look down the street, light pole, light pole, light pole.	00:30:54
	But if this drawing was to be correct, there would be garages there, no OK.	00:30:57
	The perpetr?	00:31:03
	Garages are all on the garden green alley side. OK so that's like a red zone right there and it is street parking but it's just	00:31:05
	regular St.	00:31:08
	OK. And I'm kind of not technologically adapt, but logically I would think that.	00:31:15
	So the poll doesn't have to be in the middle of the development to serve everybody.	00:31:24
	No, the sector that we're using is has a 90°.	00:31:29
	OK.	00:31:35
	It serves the whole community.	00:31:38
	OK. And is it going to be disguised like a tree?	00:31:39
	It's gonna look like a light pole.	00:31:44
	OK, so it's.	00:31:46
	Just like another light hole.	00:31:49
	Except instead of a light.	00:31:51
	OK. Thank you.	00:31:54
	Any other questions?	00:31:59
	One question. And so thank you for the report.	00:32:02
	Detailed, but being that you're the experts and I'm not, I do have one question. So it speaks about.	00:32:06
	In just in Page 2 where it talks about the application and then it says.	00:32:13
	Talks about the FCC regulations pertaining to antenna installation and it says including emission standards.	00:32:20
	And other things. So just quick question, is there any risk?	00:32:26
	Or negative impacts.	00:32:32
	That could happen against the city or to the residents. No, there's first thing was allegedly as far as the emission.	00:32:34
	Anything. So that's an open question. Are there any risks or negative impacts experienced? OK, so.	00:32:42
	A cell phone.	00:32:50
	Cell phone, cell or sector and meds anywhere from 10 to 100 watts.	00:32:52
	A typical 45 foot tower that you might see at the corner of Hemlock and Ventura is like this ugly pole with a bunch of cell phone	00:33:00
	sectors on it.	00:33:04
	Those emit about 30 watts of power.	00:33:09
	Our sector only emits 4 watts of power.	00:33:11
	They they have the modulation that they have is like 4000 quam. It doesn't mean anything, but that's just a reference. OK. Ours	00:33:15
	has 256 quantum of amplitude modulation. So there's very low power, very low impact as far as radiation is concerned.	00:33:24
	Can I ask one more question again, I don't, I don't, I don't really understand it. Also as far as so there's going to be the poll,	00:33:34
	there's going to be an electrical.	00:33:39
	Plug in, so to speak or wiring, is that tied to anything, any of the properties, Port Hueneme properties or is that a standalone	00:33:46
	something that won't impact anything that so it will be integrated through conduit to the main building which is shown here on	00:33:53
	this elevation sheet. And so it will be tied into the existing building. And because there is no separate utilities in the lease	00:34:00
	agreement, there is sort of a cost share if you will for the electricity.	00:34:08
	For that property owner slash the HOA in order to make up for that. But since this antenna is fairly small in nature, it doesn't	00:34:15
	draw that much electricity. So if you'll look at the lease, it doesn't cost a whole lot for that. And as far as sort of some of	00:34:22
	the regulations from FCC, we do require an RF report by a licensed engineer to be submitted to the city, which is an exhibit on	00:34:30
	this that outlines that it it it doesn't exceed the FCCS.	00:34:37
	Requirements as far as, you know, negative detriments to health and that sort of thing.	00:34:45
	Thank you.	00:34:52
	I know sometimes there's a little contract EMS electric magnetic frequency.	00:34:56
	There's no, there's no rule. It's just radio waves. It's just an RF signal, OK. And believe it or not, when I was coming over here	00:35:02
	tonight, I'm listening to the radio and they're talking about Wi-Fi.	00:35:09
	Bandits, I guess that if you go to a public area and it says hey, you want Wi-Fi, here you go. That you have to be really careful	00:35:19
	because you could be playing into the hands of dubious characters. Is is there any risk of that with the residents at at Wanami	00:35:25
	Bay? No, I mean.	00:35:31
	What we do is we we connect to each home.	00:35:38
	And that goes to their Wi-Fi router. When we set up their Wi-Fi router, we set them up as secured.	00:35:41
	So each user comes to you and says hey here's my router and then you do the IP address.	00:35:47
	We make sure that it's a secured router with a password. As far as the tower is concerned, it's it's a point to point thing to the	00:35:54
	home and then from the home an Ethernet cable goes down into the router and that's how it works. So as far as stealing Wi-Fi, as	00:36:01
	long as the owner doesn't replace the Wi-Fi router with something that's unsecured.	00:36:07
	There's no and we do have firewalls on our main equipment as well.	00:36:13
	So we've been providing a similar service for nine years already in the community with that security. And so we'll each user have	00:36:18
	their own password or there'll be one generic password for each user has their own password. Excellent, excellent.	00:36:26
	Very similar to what I have with Spectrum. You come to my house, they go, hey, what's OK, Thank you.	00:36:36
	No further questions.	00:36:46
	OK.	00:36:47
	So I will now open the public hearing and take public comment. The public hearing is now open for public input at 7:08 PM. Are	00:36:49
	there any public comments regarding this item?	00:36:54
	Yes, Madam Mayor, we have 1 written comment. I'm going to start with that and then I'll call up the two in person comments, OK?	00:37:00
	This is a letter dated October 31st, 2024.	00:37:08
	City officers, I am communicating my concerns about the installation of a Wi-Fi tower within the Wyoming Bay complex in the	00:37:12
	immediate vicinity of my home.	00:37:16
	I live in the Wyoming Bay complex at the corner of Triton Way and W Garden Green, no more than 12 yards from what I believe will	00:37:21
	be the installation point of the tower. The 45 foot tower has been laying in a common garden area for approximately 2 months. I	00:37:29
	have not been communicated to in any way regarding this until receiving a letter from the City of Port Hueneme perhaps 10 days	00:37:36
	ago, nor have several of my neighbors whom I've spoken to. One can only assume that the governing board at Wyoming Bay carefree.	00:37:43
	Association has been in negotiations with the Wi-Fi Harbor for some period of time.	00:37:51
	And get there has been nothing that I remember specifically mentioned about this installation and the weekly bulletin distributed	00:37:56
	to property owners throughout the complex. Now I received notification from the city Clerk that was published on October 20th,	00:38:01
	2024, eleven days ago.	00:38:06
	I will not be able to attend in person the upcoming public hearing and some communicating my concern in writing.	00:38:11
	I'm looking forward to an in person meeting with the City Clerk to gather more information about the project. Hence, I cannot at	00:38:18
	this time express any intelligent concern about the ramifications of having such an installation, which nonetheless will have a	00:38:24
	significant impact on my property. That may be the acceptable way commercial projects are developed and implemented that benefit	00:38:30
	the city and HO. As it is not necessarily acceptable to all whom will be immediately impacted. I will attempt to follow up this	00:38:36
	letter with more specific concerns.	00:38:42
	Meeting with the City Clerk today so that I can launch these concerns prior to any need to challenge any actions in court. Thank	00:38:48
	you for your time, Robert Young.	00:38:52
	And now I will call.	00:38:57
	Betsy Stovin.	00:39:00
	Good evening.	00:39:09
	Mayor, Council people.	00:39:12
	I've had the Wi-Fi service in Waimea Bay for nine years. I've never had such excellent customer service. It's all very	00:39:14
	personalized. It's a good product and we would like to urge you all to approve a higher speed for Wi-Fi Harbor in Waimea Bay.	00:39:25
	So thank you.	00:39:37
	Robert Walker.	00:39:41
	Hello there, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and Council. I'm Robert Walker. I am the Vice President at the Board Carefree Living Association	00:39:52
	for Wyoming Bay. And I've lived in Wyoming Bay since 2013 and I was here initially when Wi-Fi Harbor first started and we did get	00:40:00
	their service.	00:40:09
	Their service was great as.	00:40:18
	Mike Taylor and John Welty stated it's very well secured because you either have your own router or they buy, they provide you	00:40:22
	with a router, but then in order to get their signal you have an antenna on your roof that reaches their antenna. So it's like a	00:40:30
	two way communication. You just can't pick it up. But.	00:40:38
	You have a password. You cannot get on to their into their system without the password.	00:40:46
	From your router right now, we've had slower speeds.	00:40:54
	Because we haven't been able to get higher speeds and thanks to their new tower, we will be getting broadband.	00:41:01
	Which is something that why that Wyoming Bay desperately needs.	00:41:09
	It was there was that report that a resident was concerned and that has since he has since come to us and said I don't have a	00:41:15
	problem with it anymore. I was concerned at first but I'm not now.	00:41:24
	And.	00:41:33
	The only other thing I can say is the fact that the tower will look like a light pole. It's going to sit there on the side on the.	00:41:37
	Side of the building by the street. And so it's not going to be in anybody's way. It's not going to block anybody's view and it	00:41:48
	will provide us with the type of Internet service that we need in in our community. So I thank you very much.	00:41:58
	That concludes public comment.	00:42:10
	Thank you.	00:42:12
	I will now close the public hearing. Public input has concluded. I want to close up hearing public hearing. The time being 7:13	00:42:14
	PM. We have before us a recommendation to adopt A resolution approving conditional use permit number PHC U-24-1, Wyoming Bay Wi-Fi	00:42:22
	Tower and find the project conditional use permit number pH CU24-21 to be categorically exempt from SEQUA and take such additional	00:42:29
	related action that may be desirable.	00:42:36
	May I have a motion and a second motion to approve City's recommendations?	00:42:44
	2nd.	00:42:49
	Thank you.	00:42:51
	Yes. Well, I'm going to have discussion. Is there any further discussion before we take a vote? I would like to say that while I	00:43:00
	was out and about in Waning Bay, that was one of the main concerns that people had was having better Wi-Fi service. There were	00:43:06
	quite a few residents who are unhappy with the state of the service. They lived on the other side of away from the tower. And so	00:43:11
	that was a big issue. If we could fix that and I'm, I remember having.	00:43:17
	I don't know how I'm going to fix that but.	00:43:23
	Now this comes in so we don't need to worry about it. So thank you.	00:43:26
	So yes, Madam Clerk, can we please take a vote?	00:43:29
	It's public hearing, so I'll do a roll call. Councilmember Gama.	00:43:32
	Yes.	00:43:37
	Councilmember Hernandez, Yes. Councilmember Martinez, Yes. Mayor Pro Tem McQueen, Legend Yes. And Mayor Perez.	00:43:38
	Yes, motion passes unanimously. Thank you.	00:43:44
	Congratulations.	00:43:49
	The next item is the.	00:43:51
	Introduction of ordinances amending sections 10277 and 10303, E 1B.	00:43:54
	10352 F 110353 D 10401 E&G. 10402 A 10421 F&H. 10422 A 1041 F&H. 10442 B 10471 D&F 10803 E 1.	00:44:02
	A and.	00:44:27
	No, don't throw her off.	00:44:29
	And one 08/04 of Article X of the Port Hueneme Municipal Code. And to find the project exempt from SEQUA project number PHZ Dash	00:44:33
	24-2. Madam Clerk, do you have proof of publication as required by law and a complete file of reports and exhibits? Yes, Madam	00:44:38
	mayor.	00:44:43
	Well, staff Priest was in the report.	00:44:50
	Yes, good evening. Thank you, Mary, you did very well and good evening to you rest of the council staff audience. So yes, this is	00:44:53
	and just wait till we get to the recommendation. By the way, a little discussion about that first, but who's reading it? But yes,	00:45:00
	so this is the first of several hearings that'll be coming through. This is kind of the easy one this evening with some clean up	00:45:07
	items and we're bringing these items to you for several reasons.	00:45:14
	With regard to the housing related items that we discussing tonight, which is most of that list you just read?	00:45:21
	The the state, as you may or may not know, continues to pass regulation after regulation with regard to.	00:45:30
	Getting additional housing of all types built for all income levels across the state and back. This year alone they passed over	00:45:39
	20, some of them as recent as just this past September.	00:45:45
	And so a few years ago when we passed our general plan, most of you were on the Council at the time that we did that.	00:45:53
	We included in that the housing element within the General Plan 21 programs to be met to help us the City of Port Hueneme.	00:46:02
	Meet the state requirements.	00:46:13
	And today we have 13 of those programs have been met. They're either implemented, they're ongoing.	00:46:16
	There are three more that will be implemented shortly by staff, but the remainder of them require changes to our zoning ordinance	00:46:23
	and or to zoning to specific properties and those of course require your action.	00:46:30
	And so some of those will discuss this evening and then we'll be bringing back more and I'll explain why they're not all being	00:46:38
	discussed tonight in a couple of slides here.	00:46:44
	The state also just recently, as of September, passed a new law that requires that public noticing, public hearing, noticing, be	00:46:51
	extended from 10 days to 20 days. Four items such as ordinances that will affect property, basically the uses on the property. And	00:46:59
	then finally, we've had a couple of miscellaneous requests.	00:47:08
	For garage sales and then also pick up our economic development plan implementation, there is a.	00:47:16
	Item with regard to temporary signs that we'll be reviewing this evening.	00:47:24
	So let's start with the housing related amendments. And like I said, this evenings are pretty much clean up items.	00:47:31
	The meteor items will be discussed starting at our next meeting on the 18th. And the reason for that is again because those items	00:47:39
	require that 20 day notice. Were these tonight only required the 10 day notice and since we got that new regulation passed very	00:47:45
	recently, we couldn't accommodate the full 20 days before this evening.	00:47:51
	So what we're looking at tonight is, first of all, to amend the the land uses, which were most of those codes that you just read	00:47:58
	for our R1R2R3 and R5 residential zones. We'll discuss the R4 standards at our next meeting because they're a little bit more	00:48:06
	substantial than what we're doing here this evening.	00:48:13
	So the first item is pertaining to employee housing.	00:48:22
	And employee housing is allowed by right per the Employee Housing Act of 2015 and also our Health and Safety Code.	00:48:26
	And so if there was employee housing, for instance, at the City of Portland, we wanted to start housing employees again and they	00:48:35
	purchased a single family home somewhere and had no more than six employees residing in it, then it would be allowed by right is	00:48:42
	considered a household, so to speak. Any more than that, though, would require conditional use permit.	00:48:49
	But So what we're doing is we're requesting that we amend the land use table to.	00:48:58
	Specify that employee housing with 60 fewer employees be allowed by right in our residential zones, and that is to comply with the	00:49:04
	state laws.	00:49:09
	The second one is very similar, dealing with supportive housing developments, and supportive housing developments are those that	00:49:14
	are.	00:49:17
	Where primarily if somebody is unhoused, it provides services and what not to help them get into a permanent housing situation.	00:49:23
	And currently our residential standards do allow.	00:49:32
	Supportive housing developments of six or fewer residents, again by right. So we're already there.	00:49:37
	However, the state recently changed that regulation where it's now there's no set number. It could be, you know, basically more	00:49:43
	than six folks could also be considered a supportive housing development by right. So again, this is a clean up item where we	00:49:49
	would be allowing these uses by right, no matter how many residents were in there. And again, that is to meet state law	00:49:55
	requirements.	00:50:02
	And then with regard to our density bonus ordinance, as you will recall, we just passed a substantially updated one just this past	00:50:12
	June and the state has already.	00:50:17
	Put together a new regulation with regard to those well.	00:50:24
	So since we are cleaning up other codes, we thought we'd take care of this one as well. And what Assembly Bill 2694 does is it has	00:50:27
	amended the definition of senior citizen housing on all types of senior citizen housing.	00:50:34
	Where they may include a shared housing building development and a residential care facility for the elderly. And that's as	00:50:43
	defined in the Health and Safety Code Section 1569.2. And therefore it is recommended that our density bonus ordinance be modified	00:50:50
	to state this. And so again, it's basically a clean up item just to make sure that we meet that definition at this point.	00:50:58
	And then with regard to our last housing related amendment this evening it.	00:51:09
	Deals with Section 1/08/04 of our Municipal Code, which is what we call the inclusionary Housing ordinance.	00:51:14
	And currently, our inclusionary housing ordinance requires that any new development with 10 or more residential units proposed in	00:51:20
	the coastal zone.	00:51:25
	Provide at least 25% of those units to be made affordable to low or moderate income households.	00:51:30
	Or the developer may pay an in lieu fee. Currently that is 26,500 per unit.	00:51:38
	And what we do with the city is we bank those fees and then we use those for future projects, for affordable housing projects,	00:51:44
	rehab or whatnot. And a great example that most of you participated in was our Habitat for Humanity project where we provided	00:51:51
	26,500 for each of the five units. And that was to help a habitat offset the overall cost of providing affordable housing here in	00:51:58
	the city.	00:52:05
	A housing element program #9 calls for expanding this to developments with 10 or more units a citywide and so it is recommended	00:52:14
	that section 1/08/04 a of the municipal code be amended to have this simple change to it where it goes from just coastal areas to	00:52:23
	development citywide and when we discuss.	00:52:31
	Our future zone changes at the next meeting.	00:52:41
	You'll see that you know, there's there will be some potential for development outside of the coastal zone where we can take	00:52:44
	advantage of either getting the affordable housing that we need and or getting the in lieu fees that can be used elsewhere in the	00:52:49
	city. So.	00:52:55
	That takes care of this evenings housing related items.	00:53:01
	And then we had a couple others here. The first one again is public hearing, noticing this took effect just past September, late	00:53:06
	September.	00:53:11
	And AB 2904 now requires that instead of typical 10 days for a public hearing, any ordinance or amendment that will affect	00:53:16
	permitted uses of real property have a 20 day notice period.	00:53:23
	So we're recommending that the municipal code sections for City Council hearings as well as those for development review committee	00:53:31
	hearings be amended simply to add the requirement for the 20 day noticing for these.	00:53:37
	Amendments or ordinances that affect the property uses on real property.	00:53:45
	Then staff has been receiving requests here and there to allow at least one additional garage sale per household per year.	00:53:52
	Currently, we allow one per household for up to two days at a time.	00:53:59
	We're requesting that Section 10277 be amended to allow each household in the city to have up to two broad sales for up to two	00:54:07
	days per event per year. And that shouldn't result in any code compliance issues. But at the same time allowing too many more. We	00:54:14
	get into the issue potentially where we have certain property owners that may want to have, you know, be basically running a	00:54:21
	business of garage sales every weekend.	00:54:29
	To the detriment of their neighbors. So we did want to.	00:54:36
	Make sure that that did not occur with this, but we think just at least allowing the additional one per year won't be a problem.	00:54:39
	Compliance, folks, and we'll still respond to the requests.	00:54:47
	And then our last item like I said is economic development related. We of course, you know passed our new plan a couple months	00:54:51
	ago. And this particular request is basically a fairly simple and cost effective one, not only for the city but also for	00:55:00
	businesses to to implement. And currently we only allow a banner up for business for 21 days a year total.	00:55:08
	We surveyed all of the cities in Ventura County and found that we are definitely the most restrictive city in the county and so	00:55:18
	looking at the the average period and the number of signs allowed per business.	00:55:24
	We are recommending that our sign ordinance be amended to allow each business to have.	00:55:31
	One freestanding or one building mounted temporary sign or banner for up to 30 days per quarter, which would be up to 120 days per	00:55:37
	year.	00:55:41
	Umm, the banner would he or or freestanding sign would either have to be located on the building or near its entrance. So for	00:55:46
	instance, if you've got a shopping center, say Mandalay, you don't have a bunch of banners, you know, along Channel Islands	00:55:54
	causing a bunch of, you know, sign clutter, which has been an issue. We, we discussed with past councils. This has been an item	00:56:01
	that's waiting to come for a while. And so we're recommending that those, the banners still be mounted.	00:56:09
	The same typical locations that they are now to prevent the clutter, but to allow quite a few additional days just again to allow	00:56:16
	the businesses to have a low cost way to advertise their their.	00:56:21
	Sales, their services, whatnot.	00:56:28
	Are not specific as far as what they would be used for. And then just note that windows signs will continue to be exempt. We don't	00:56:30
	require permits for Windows science as long as they don't take up more than 25% of the window area, so that will not change.	00:56:38
	And so with regard to SQL, these ordinances are exempt from SQL per section 15061 B 3 because these ordinances themselves will not	00:56:48
	result in any kind of development.	00:56:55
	And there will be no fiscal impact to the city from any of these particular.	00:57:04
	Changes. And so Mayor, at this point we have a very long recommendation.	00:57:09
	Would you like to read it or as part of the we go to take a motion or did you want me to take care of it now?	00:57:17
	Oh, let me think on that.	00:57:26
	Yeah, I can do it.	00:57:33
	OK. Well in that case, this concludes my presentation and I'm available to answer any questions. Thank you. Does Council have any	00:57:35
	question for staff?	00:57:40
	Yeah, I was just gonna suggest when we do, when it is time to make a motion, I think it'd be fine to say the recommendation as	00:57:49
	stated in the staff report.	00:57:53
	All right. Thank you. You know, I asked that before and somebody told me I had to read all of the words included in it. So I'm	00:58:00
	glad you made that clarification for me.	00:58:04
	OK. So no question from staff.	00:58:09
	Coming for council?	00:58:11
	So just curious on the two day garage sale per year. So that's something that we're not actively enforcing and would only enforce	00:58:17
	if somebody was making a business out of it.	00:58:22
	No, currently we require all business, all property owners and sorry, households to come in and get a garage sale permit, a no	00:58:28
	cost permit or is it a cost? It's a very limited, I think it's like $15. They can actually do it online. So we've continued to	00:58:34
	require that.	00:58:40
	OK. And.	00:58:46
	One of the things that has developed with the.	00:58:49
	Affordable housing rules that are coming down by the state and I didn't hear you address that is parking.	00:58:53
	Are we going to amend our?	00:59:01
	Ordinances for parking and front yard landscaping.	00:59:04
	Not at this time. That would have to be something that would be brought up later, and I don't.	00:59:10
	City Manager Vega and I have had this discussion and it looks like he wants to chime in here. Yeah, thank you. And we, I	00:59:16
	referenced this earlier during public comment, but we are working on an item for one of the next couple council meetings where we	00:59:22
	can start talking about some of the parking strategies that we can start looking at. And that that could be one if identified by	00:59:28
	the by the council. Yeah, 'cause I'm parking with the Adus is well, there's already a parking crunch in in Waimea in the 80 user	00:59:34
	making it harder and.	00:59:40
	Some of our.	00:59:46
	Requirements like 40% roll hardscape out front. I think it's it's becoming problematic.	00:59:48
	What about unlicensed food vendors? I keep getting complaints about the amount of unlicensed food vendors coming into Wanami	00:59:57
	Beach. I don't know that that has anything to do with this.	01:00:03
	Public hearing.	01:00:10
	Madam City Attorney.	01:00:12
	Yes, ma'am. Yeah, it's not. This item is particularly updating the sections of our Article 10 related to housing garage sales, and	01:00:14
	I'm blanking on one. Oh, the temporary signage. So it's just it's not included in there. It can be requested as a future item. OK,	01:00:23
	so then for me, the elephant in the room is there's a lot of signs and businesses right now. Political science is there.	01:00:31
	Any rules associated with political science? And I know that some other cities have rules. They kind of.	01:00:39
	Make exceptions during the political season, but how do we address that here in the city of port one evening? So this item is	01:00:47
	specifically related to temporary signage like grand opening banners, for example, for stores. That's what this item is related	01:00:54
	to. So this item doesn't have any impact on political science, but is there any ordinance for political science?	01:01:01
	We have general standards for political signs.	01:01:09
	That we follow as a city. Certain locations that they are are are not allowed in.	01:01:14
	Does any council have any questions pertaining this to this item?	01:01:21
	On the agenda?	01:01:26
	OK, can I have a motion to approve the?	01:01:30
	What so?	01:01:33
	Unfortunately we looked at it and we do have to read the whole recommendation so.	01:01:35
	Mayor, before you read, if you can just open comments. Yeah, open the public. Yes, I will open the public hearing. Sorry.	01:01:42
	That darn it.	01:01:49
	OI will open the public hearing and take public comment. The public hearing is now open for public input at.	01:01:52
	733.	01:01:58
	Madam Clerk, are there any public comments? No public comments. Thank you.	01:02:01
	I will now close the public hearing, the time being 733.	01:02:06
	We have before us a recommendation.	01:02:11
	Introduce the first reading by title only, waiving further reading of an ordinance entitled An Ordinance of the City Council of	01:02:15
	the City of Port Hueneme, CA, amending Chapter 4, Sections 10401 E&G. 10402 A 10421 F&H. 10422 A 10441 F&H. 10442 B 10471 D&F.	01:02:30
	And Chapter 6, sections 10803, E 1A.	01:02:45
	And one 08/04 of Article X of the Port Wayne Municipal Code pertaining to housing regulations and.	01:02:50
	Introduce the first reading by title only, waiving further reading of an ordinance entitled An Ordinance of the City Council of	01:02:58
	the City of Port Hueneme, CA, amending sections 10352, F One and 10353 D of Chapter 3 of Article X of the Port Hueneme Municipal	01:03:05
	Code pertaining to public noticing requirements and.	01:03:13
	Introduced for first reading by title only. Waiving further reading of an Ordinance entitled and Ordinance of the City Council of	01:03:21
	the City of Port Hueneme, CA amending Sections 10277 of Chapter 2 of Article X of the Port Hueneme Municipal Code pertaining to	01:03:28
	garage sales and introduce for first reading by title only.	01:03:35
	Waiving further reading of an ordinance entitled An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Port Hueneme, CA amending	01:03:42
	Sections 10303 E 1B of Chapter 3 of Article X at the Port Hueneme Municipal Code pertaining to temporary signs and find the	01:03:48
	project to be categorically exempt from SEQUA and take such additional related actions that may be desirable. May I have a motion	01:03:54
	and a second please?	01:04:00
	Move to approve second. Thank you. Any further discussion on this item?	01:04:09
	Seeing none, Madam Clerk.	01:04:14
	Council member Gama.	01:04:16
	Yes, Council Member Hernandez, Council Member Martinez. Yes, Mayor Pro Tem McQueen, Legend. Yes. And Mayor Perez. Yes. Motion	01:04:19
	passes unanimously. Thank you. And that concludes our public hearings for tonight. We'll now move on to business items.	01:04:26
	The business item for tonight is the City Council representation of REACH which is recreation, education, activities and culture	01:04:34
	in Wanami. Board of Directors will staff please present the report?	01:04:39
	Thank you, Mayor. This one will be brief.	01:04:48
	Quite simply, REACH, which is the recreation, education, activities and culture in Waimea.	01:04:54
	Nonprofit is starting to.	01:05:01
	Recompose their their board of directors and they are looking to.	01:05:05
	Kind of re staff with their board of directors being a working committee to start holding some events and fundraisers and and	01:05:12
	activities. And so recently as they were going through that process, they had noted that this the board up until now per their	01:05:18
	bylaws.	01:05:25
	Has a requirement that one of the board seats be filled by a representative of the City Council. And then recently, up until	01:05:31
	recently, had also had a requirement that one of the seats be filled by a designee of the city manager's office.	01:05:38
	And as the reach board is trying to essentially appoint the new board and move forward and and have their working board, they	01:05:47
	contacted the city to see if the city would be willing and agree to allow for the requirement to have a City Council seat on the	01:05:55
	board could be removed from their bylaws.	01:06:04
	It doesn't mean that the city wouldn't be able to have a seat on the board, but it essentially would just remove the requirement	01:06:13
	that a City Council member be part of the board.	01:06:18
	And the idea being if there is a council member who wants to get involved with REACH, they'd always have the ability to to attend	01:06:23
	the meetings and to look to get involved with the board. But there just wouldn't be a requirement to have that person to have a a	01:06:28
	representative of the City Council on the board.	01:06:33
	We, as staff have recommended that the Council approve that request from Reach to remove the position, primarily because typically	01:06:40
	as cities develop.	01:06:46
	Nonprofits.	01:06:54
	Typically in order to really establish that separation between the city and the nonprofit and kind of make sure that we're	01:06:56
	reducing the liability and the risk, typically cities do sort of at some point separate and stop having the council members make	01:07:04
	decisions on the board to kind of ensure that there is that separation. So just as a best practice, we're recommending that the	01:07:11
	council consider that request and.	01:07:18
	And authorized reach to eliminate that requirement again with the. Note that.	01:07:26
	Any interested person could attend REACH meetings and could look to be added to the board. It just wouldn't be a requirement that	01:07:33
	they have a council member specific position. So with that we're recommending that the council authorize that and we're available	01:07:40
	if there's any questions. Thank you. Does any council have any questions?	01:07:47
	Are there any other nonprofits that have a requirement to have a City Council member on?	01:07:54
	I'm sure there are somewhere, but I would say it's not typical. And typically kind of the process that normally happens is the	01:08:00
	city will create a board and kind of get it up and running and then and then separate and doesn't have the eventually removes	01:08:07
	council members off the board to move forward. So I think we're we're at that point, but it's not it's not typical to continue to	01:08:14
	have a council. Yeah, I would just hope that we go down that road and.	01:08:21
	Truly make any art Commission or Friends of the Library, Friends of the Museum reach be without council because it just creates.	01:08:29
	Brown Act issues.	01:08:39
	Because I think.	01:08:41
	2 council members on.	01:08:44
	Different committees at some point. Not all of them, but maybe 2.	01:08:46
	OK. Any other questions?	01:08:50
	Yeah, I have a couple of questions. Just as a follow on to Councilman Gama's comments, I anticipate the same will be done with the	01:08:52
	sister city.	01:08:57
	Organization, once it fully becomes a nonprofit is that.	01:09:04
	Let's stick to the Reach board of directors. I don't know that this is.	01:09:09
	I think at some point we'd be looking to do the same thing with with that.	01:09:13
	And then this also includes any alternate members as well, right? Because I believe there is an alternate for each.	01:09:19
	For Reach, I'm not aware of an alternate at this point, but I maybe Georgiana would you know?	01:09:27
	I thought there was. I can look into it, but I don't know right now. I guess I would assume it would be if I would say if we're	01:09:32
	authorizing reach to remove the council representative, we would.	01:09:39
	Include that that wouldn't there would be no City Council alternate position makes sense. OK, thank you.	01:09:46
	Any questions?	01:09:53
	Yes, I do have a.	01:09:57
	So it may take me a minute to get there so.	01:10:01
	I think this is a great idea. I think it as a nonprofit that reach should be self-sufficient out.	01:10:05
	And so I guess my question is.	01:10:11
	It seemed to me that because there was a city connection, the city supported.	01:10:15
	Certain you know had some level of support. Does this mean now it is truly separate and they'll be moving forward as.	01:10:23
	Any general nonprofit without the connection back to the city.	01:10:35
	The council would have the opportunity still to do things like right now the main thing that the city does is we sponsor reaches.	01:10:41
	The last two events they've had were pickleball fundraisers and the city has sponsored those by approving the use of those courts	01:10:52
	and I believe with the fee waiver. And so they could still make that request and the city could still consider that request. It	01:11:00
	just it would come through like any other agency making that. That was my next comment. So like any other nonprofit could request.	01:11:07
	And the responses would be be based on how we would respond to any other nonprofit. Exactly. And so then ultimately, it's up to	01:11:15
	the council to decide how much to support or how much not to support. OK, I just wanted to understand it.	01:11:21
	Any further comments or questions at this time?	01:11:29
	Madam Clerk, are there any public comments?	01:11:32
	No public comments. Thank you. So the recommendation is to authorize REACH to eliminate the City Council appointed position to the	01:11:34
	REACH Board of directors. May I have a second, a motion and a second?	01:11:39
	Move to approve.	01:11:44
	2nd thank you.	01:11:47
	No further discussion.	01:11:49
	Madam Clerk, can we have a vote? All in favor? Aye, all opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:11:51
	Thank you. The next business item is the 2025 City Council meeting schedule.	01:11:59
	Thank you and.	01:12:06
	This one very simply is we wanted to take the opportunity to try to set next year's calendar. We probably normally would do this	01:12:09
	in December, but I think with the timing of of the election and everything going on right now, we thought getting this out of the	01:12:16
	way now and then the December meeting, we expect to have many, several items on even just with all of the ceremonial items. So we	01:12:23
	wanted to get the calendar set for next year in advance.	01:12:30
	And while we have a meeting where we have the time to do it so.	01:12:37
	So we proposed a updated calendar which is shown on screen. Not many changes, mostly consistent with this year. The one change	01:12:40
	worth noting would be the summer schedule. Is we're proposing to the summer schedule to be a little bit different next year	01:12:48
	instead of taking one month off for a summer recess.	01:12:56
	We are proposing having one meeting in July and then one meeting in August and then canceling a meeting each of those months. So	01:13:05
	instead of 1.	01:13:09
	Long period without any council meeting, there's two shorter periods where there's just a meeting cancelled. And so the intent	01:13:16
	with that is to make sure we still have a meeting every month and that we have the ability to meet in case there's anything time	01:13:23
	sensitive without too long of a gap. But still making sure that there's a break for the public and the council to be able to and	01:13:31
	staff to be able to take.	01:13:38
	The time off without impacting city business and also we the break actually helps as we typically do research on some of the	01:13:46
	bigger items that.	01:13:51
	Requires some time for us to put together. So we still have that time in the summer to try to work on some of those those	01:13:57
	projects. So so the rest of the calendar really was not.	01:14:03
	There was nothing really changed from this year. It's simply proposing, changing that. July, August.	01:14:11
	Summer recess schedule, so we do have.	01:14:19
	A alternate.	01:14:25
	Calendar that would just match this year's exactly that we can talk about if desired, but we're recommending.	01:14:27
	Moving forward with this proposed schedule with the one meeting in July and one meeting in August.	01:14:34
	And we can answer any questions? Yes, Council have questions, I do.	01:14:41
	Thank you, Mr. Vega, for proposing this new calendar for the next year.	01:14:47
	Excuse me? There is something in this room that just sets my allergies off Excuse me?	01:14:53
	I noticed in January we only have one meeting. Is that intentional? I'm just.	01:15:00
	Hoping that maybe we could we could go ahead and have a second meeting, maybe the.	01:15:06
	The second week in January, just because you know, we have the economic development plan, strategic planning that we usually do in	01:15:12
	January.	01:15:16
	I think we've got a lot to cover at the first of the year.	01:15:22
	So right now, as proposed, just matches this year's with the first meeting in January. This year was cancelled due to the New	01:15:27
	Year's holiday.	01:15:31
	The New Year's holiday is.	01:15:37
	You know, a couple days ahead of the first meeting this year. So that's it's an option that the council could say that they want	01:15:40
	to add that meeting back in January.	01:15:45
	We thought about it, I think we had a thought that it's possible that many members of the public and or the City Council could be	01:15:51
	planning to be traveling in that period because it's still pretty close to, you know, most of the holidays. So we ended up just	01:15:58
	following the practice from this year of canceling the first meeting, but it's that would be at the option of the council.	01:16:05
	So we usually have our meetings the first Monday of the month. So that would be the sixth. Yeah, it would have been January 6th,	01:16:12
	January 6th. And then our last meeting in December is.	01:16:19
	Win for this year. This year it is December 16th, so that's quite a that's quite a number of weeks before.	01:16:26
	That's quite a break, Yeah. It would be a break of about four weeks.	01:16:35
	I don't know how the rest of the Council feels, but.	01:16:41
	I'd like to see us meet just because we're going to have a new council, at least that we at least one member that that's what I	01:16:45
	was going to suggest is that we're going at least going to have one new council member and perhaps having two meetings in January	01:16:52
	will help us get up to speed because it is.	01:16:58
	It is kind of weird when you, that new council member will be elected and then they're going to have to wait because what, when do	01:17:05
	we plan seating the new council, by the way?	01:17:09
	So the the county at this point has told us they because the county clerk has to certify all the election results and everything.	01:17:14
	So the expectation is December 18th.	01:17:19
	Yeah, I think we could squeeze, I think having two meetings.	01:17:27
	So just I had the the exact date wrong but the IT would be our second meeting in December.	01:17:32
	Yeah, and for the courtesy to the new council meeting member, I think it would be nice to have two meetings in January.	01:17:38
	OK, so then let's get through. If there's nothing else, let's get the public comments.	01:17:45
	And then we can make a change.	01:17:50
	Auto clerk, are there any public comments?	01:17:53
	No public comment. OK, so the recommendation is to approve the proposed 2025 City Council meeting schedule. Is there a motion like	01:17:55
	to be entertained?	01:17:59
	I'd like I'd like to make a motion to add January 6 and then approve the rest of the calendar.	01:18:04
	A second.	01:18:12
	One Second. January 6/20/25.	01:18:13
	OK.	01:18:17
	Madam Clerk.	01:18:18
	All in favor, all opposed.	01:18:20
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:18:23
	Thank you. Moving on to City Manager comments and reports. I'm sorry, but I did not make it to 7:30.	01:18:26
	You got 10 minutes.	01:18:37
	OK, I'll keep it brief.	01:18:39
	So we had a few items we wanted to just mention or give an update on.	01:18:43
	A couple people may have noticed in the last couple weeks was one is the Wyoming Beach walkway improvement project is ongoing now	01:18:50
	and people may have seen that they're out there actively working out at the beach over the last couple weeks. We expect that	01:18:58
	project to continue until November 30th. It should be completed by November 30th. Just as a reminder, it's repairing the.	01:19:07
	Cracks and broken up concrete panels in the beach sidewalk. But it's also going to install the new.	01:19:16
	Accessible path that will go to the swing set. So it's part of that project and the return of the swing set. So, so we're trying	01:19:24
	to minimize the impact of the construction, but we appreciate everybody working with us as we finish that project up over the next	01:19:30
	few weeks.	01:19:35
	Another event last week was we had our third annual Spooktacular, which was really.	01:19:42
	A I would say a good successful event. I think we had over 2000 attendees, which was a lot more than I had expected.	01:19:52
	We had a, we had a pumpkin patch that had 540 pumpkins and about halfway through the event we started trying to figure out where	01:19:59
	we could get more pumpkins if we needed them. So it kind of exceeded our expectations. But anybody who was there saw the, we had	01:20:06
	the train ride in the parking lot, which is in one of those photos. There were lots of creative costumes and, and the, the pumpkin	01:20:13
	patch and it was just a good family event, so.	01:20:19
	I'm trying to convince my relatives who live out of the area to come down for next year's and sending them pictures.	01:20:26
	Of this one to make them jealous so so that was a good Halloween Halloween event and in a minute we'll talk about some of the	01:20:33
	upcoming holiday events but we wanted to take the opportunity also to do one more reminder for the library mural project we are	01:20:40
	getting close to kicking off that project we just extended the deadline of the internship opportunity because we want to make sure	01:20:48
	we give an opportunity for one of the youth from Fort Wayne me to get involved and.	01:20:55
	And learn how to to work on these murals. And so that opportunity is part of this project. We have information on how to apply	01:21:03
	available at our on our website. And there's a little bit of information here. And there's going to be a $500 stipend for the	01:21:10
	internship. So we're hoping if anybody knows anybody, we're looking for somebody between the ages of 18 and 22, if you know	01:21:16
	anybody.	01:21:23
	In that age group from Port Hueneme who has a passion for the arts, let them know about this opportunity.	01:21:30
	And we're looking to try to get somebody by the end of this week, so.	01:21:36
	And work on that is expected to start shortly thereafter.	01:21:42
	And then, as I mentioned a moment ago.	01:21:46
	With Halloween somehow passed, we're already looking ahead to our upcoming holidays and we mentioned this last meeting, but just	01:21:48
	as a reminder that the Port Hueneme ticket sales for the senior holiday luncheon are starting this week, November 4th to November	01:21:56
	8th. I think we actually sold out fairly quickly last year, so we're trying to remind people about that opportunity with general	01:22:03
	ticket sales opening November 12th for the senior holiday.	01:22:11
	That's going to take place on Tuesday, December 10th. So it's coming up. So we have that and then our upcoming meeting November	01:22:19
	18th.	01:22:24
	Yeah. So some, the question was asked a moment ago about when new candidates after the election would be seated. It won't be until	01:22:30
	December 18th. So we have we that's when we're expecting. So we expect to have a couple more meetings before that happens. And so	01:22:36
	at our next meeting we're going to have.	01:22:42
	Part 2 of the planning code cleanup that we started today with some of the more in depth items as part of that cleanup. And we	01:22:49
	also are working on what we're calling a parking analysis where we're going to try to look. I think this will just sort of be like	01:22:55
	the upfront conversation and to explain what we're trying to do and get council feedback and direction about what to look more	01:23:01
	closely at and.	01:23:07
	Especially with some of the upcoming state law changes, that's going to impact parking even more.	01:23:14
	So, so we'll we'll bring that item back and then we also have an opportunity to apply for a SCAG technical assistance grant. So	01:23:19
	we'll bring be bringing that on the 18th as well. So, so that is the plan for November 18th and that is everything I have.	01:23:26
	OK. Thank you.	01:23:34
	We'll move on now to Councilman reports and comments.	01:23:36
	Councilmember Martinez.	01:23:40
	Just want to report that Rich is having a pickleball.	01:23:43
	Tournament this Saturday at 8:00 AM.	01:23:48
	You know, so hope to see you all there. And if you want to participate, there's an Eventbrite.	01:23:51
	Link for you to sign up.	01:24:01
	Or I don't know if I'm still supposed to report on reach anymore, but.	01:24:04
	Yeah, that's that's my announcement for today.	01:24:11
	Councilmember Gama Yeah, last week I attended the.	01:24:16
	Board of Supervisors meeting with supporting Danny Anderson. She is a disability access coordinator for the county and she	01:24:19
	successfully pulled off the first ever first of its kind disability summit and and I think it was long overdue considering that	01:24:28
	the ADA was passed in 1990. So I wanted to to go to the media and support her and and support the the concept that.	01:24:37
	We all have it within ourselves to accommodate not only ourselves, but our coworkers and people that we come into. And that even	01:24:46
	though the ADA codified into law.	01:24:51
	We do instinctively accommodate ourselves and we accommodate people in the workplace and I think that it's a real important for us	01:24:56
	to.	01:25:00
	To acknowledge our responsibility, it's hard to believe that the ADA has been in.	01:25:04
	Place since 1990. That was 34 years ago, but.	01:25:11
	I really want to congratulate Danny Anderson on on a wonderful program that she put together. And it's really, really cool to get	01:25:18
	all the cities kind of in Ventura County to get on the same page when it comes to accommodating people with disabilities. And I	01:25:25
	really love the fact that our city is kind of a leader in that for a couple reasons.	01:25:32
	I've been reading a book, have conversations that matter. It's written by Celeste Headlee and the thing that the.	01:25:42
	I've come to realize that I've been on this council for seven years now and it's taken all these seven years to come to the point	01:25:51
	which I want to make right now is that we need to have public conversations with our partners and specifically the port. And you	01:25:56
	know, we can't.	01:26:02
	Have darkroom backroom conversations. All our conversations of public items needs need to be here publicly. And then so I really	01:26:08
	want to encourage us to move in that direction. And I'm going to throw a subject out there that I hope isn't too controversial.	01:26:15
	But you know, in 2020, nearly 70% of our residents voted to keep our city name of the city of Port Hueneme. Clearly, there is a	01:26:22
	solid affinity between our residents and the Port of Waimea.	01:26:29
	And so along those lines with growth and modernization and stuff, I think, I think at some point we'd like to have a conversation	01:26:37
	about.	01:26:42
	Perhaps the?	01:26:48
	It could be renamed to the Port Hueneme Harbor District as opposed to the Oxnard Harbor District because the Port of Waimea is,	01:26:50
	after all, in the city of Port Hueneme. Today we had an executive committee meeting with Beacon and we're trying to plot our	01:26:56
	budget forward and.	01:27:02
	We have a lot of issues that are concerning us into the future that are going to require either grants or working projects	01:27:10
	planning and so the budget as it stands now.	01:27:17
	May has to be expanded. So I just wanted to mention that to our city manager when we start working on our budget, we may want to	01:27:25
	kind of budget maybe a 50% increase or something. But we at the board of Beacon, we really want to expand the use of getting	01:27:33
	grants and we're going to be coming back to each individual member here in the future to to try and.	01:27:41
	Figure out where the budgets going in if we're in fact going to have to make an increase.	01:27:51
	So on Beacon over the last four years, we've only had a cola's.	01:27:58
	We really want to look at the external funding grants. We've done really well with the implementation and planning and, and	01:28:05
	leveraging those funds. But we're quickly realizing that in the future we're, you know, it's going to be harder and harder to to	01:28:12
	operate the way we have been considering with the the things that are coming our way with climate change and sea level rise and	01:28:18
	whatever else is going to come our way in terms of the coast. And there's one other thing.	01:28:25
	Thing that I wanted to mention.	01:28:32
	Oh, in regards to the county, the county revenues have remained flat over the last year, but their expenses have gone up	01:28:39
	significantly. And so they're in the process of trying to rectify their budget and figure out, you know, what has to be cut.	01:28:45
	There's a lot of things in the county budget that are nice to have but aren't aren't, you know, necessary. So I just wanted to	01:28:52
	mention that that.	01:28:58
	We need to start thinking about what that may, how that may impact our city of Port Hueneme. Thank you.	01:29:05
	Council Member Hernandez, thank you Mayor Perez, I had the pleasure couple of weeks ago to attend the blue carpet premiere.	01:29:12
	For Real Anglers, a fishing show followed by a QA with with students. It was a great opportunity to see what Kevin Brannon has	01:29:20
	done with the Real Guppies program and how far he's moved in actually creating a show that's going to be aired on television. We	01:29:28
	saw parts one and two and it was really well done and I look forward to seeing a future programs that they put together.	01:29:37
	I also I had the pleasure of attending the Board of Supervisors meeting last week. I attended has a resident not as a City Council	01:29:46
	member.	01:29:50
	And I did not speak I.	01:29:55
	The purpose of for my attending there was to support our election workers who were being honored for their work with this election	01:29:59
	season. And I was happy to see Georgiana there and Christie Bugs and Kepper there. And we had three of.	01:30:07
	OK. Thank you.	01:30:16
	And then we have three city clerks there from Port Hueneme. And so it was a really special time to honor our election workers, to	01:30:18
	empathize with everything that they're going through this year with, you know, the right to vote, people showing up at all their	01:30:25
	board meetings. And we've had them here and it's it's been hard. It's been hard. So I know that they'll be glad when this election	01:30:33
	season is over and but they'll be getting ready for the next.	01:30:40
	When I'm sure as soon as this is done. So I just wanted to thank Georgiana for her service and as well as all the election workers	01:30:48
	who are working at this election.	01:30:53
	I have a number of asks also.	01:30:59
	You know, I when we have the city manager's comments, would it be appropriate to have an opportunity to ask questions after?	01:31:04
	After his presentation, I usually ask for questions and I think it's usually done. OK, OK, I don't remember that. But sometimes we	01:31:15
	just move so quickly on to the agenda. I may have missed it. So with the economic development plan being scheduled on the agenda,	01:31:22
	I hope that my, my ask is that we take a deeper dive into the plan so we can maybe have a refresher on what it what it contains,	01:31:30
	what is being recommended and then.	01:31:37
	Also an opportunity for council to weigh in on ideas and things that we've learned along the way.	01:31:45
	Things we've brought back from conferences and seminars and our visits with other cities.	01:31:52
	I'm hoping that we can have a brainstorming session if you will, or a discussion on on possible initiatives that can be included	01:31:58
	in the in the economic development plan.	01:32:03
	And let's see also I understand there is a grant coordinator position that's been approved under the Community Benefit Fund.	01:32:09
	That's a question I had for the city manager. Are we moving on that? No, there's not a position being approved.	01:32:21
	And I wouldn't recommend we have a full time position.	01:32:27
	For just grant writing, but we we have agreed to partner on a grant with the port as part of the CBF. So it's, it's not a creation	01:32:32
	of a position, it's just partnering on a grant. I misunderstood. I thought it was we were going to look at.	01:32:40
	A part-time position or a or a contract position, somebody that would assist us with grant writing be yeah, funding to continue to	01:32:49
	contract with somebody to write a specific grant for the the port in the city partnership. And we don't know what that grant is	01:32:54
	yet. No, OK.	01:32:59
	And then there there was a discussion on a calendar of proclamations for the new year. Is are you still intending to provide us	01:33:06
	with that? Yeah, but we are planning. That's where we mentioned that there's several items that make sense to bring back when we	01:33:14
	have the full council seated that will be seated for the next year. So it'll be on one of those agendas.	01:33:22
	OK. Thank you.	01:33:31
	That's all I have. Thank you.	01:33:34
	Mayor Pro Tem.	01:33:37
	Thank you, Mayor. Couple of things. I did get an opportunity to go to the Halloween event. It was wonderful. I was so surprised	01:33:39
	when I got there to see all those people, but it would turned out really, really nice. Then on the 28th of.	01:33:46
	October, Councilwoman Hernandez and I participated in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Community Leaders Tour.	01:33:56
	Community leaders around the county. So it was pretty nice. We got to go out on there, do a really nice ship tour and that was	01:34:06
	with Commanding Officer Tony Holmes.	01:34:12
	A couple of things from VCTC, while we should be thinking about our veterans and our active duty military all the time because	01:34:18
	veteran's day is coming up, VCTC and other county bus operators will be offering free rides to veterans, active duty members and	01:34:26
	U.S. military on veteran's day. So that's across the county and then on.	01:34:35
	December 14th, the Metro Link will be bringing their Holiday Express train to Simi Valley.	01:34:44
	On Saturday again, December 14th, the reason I'm announcing it because that Simi Valley train will be coming. There will be two	01:34:52
	trains traveling to Oxnard and then back to Simi Valley. So you have an opportunity.	01:34:58
	To participate in that, and there are.	01:35:04
	We'll have to have tickets for that and you can look at the Metrolink train.	01:35:08
	Dot com forward slash holiday.	01:35:14
	Dash Express to see the.	01:35:17
	The schedule.	01:35:22
	And then I.	01:35:24
	I'm going to be name dropping, so or business dropping. I don't do that very often, but I'll do it today.	01:35:27
	Had an opportunity to quite a few opportunities to go to Jalisco's Mexican food. I love that place.	01:35:33
	And while there, a couple of the folks there told me about.	01:35:40
	Antonio's.	01:35:45
	That I went to look for today and so Antonio's is in the.	01:35:47
	Shopping center with the mail, print mail and.	01:35:54
	Yeah, whining me in Ventura Road and then as I was looking for that in the wrong location.	01:36:00
	I ran across, I ran across a new thrift store named Uncover Wonders, who's been there about two months, and I just happen to have	01:36:06
	some thrifts stuff in my car that I was dropping off at the thrift store. So I was lucky enough to be able to drop it off there.	01:36:15
	And so they've only been there two months. I said, hey, have you guys been communicating to anybody here? And they said no. So I'm	01:36:23
	gonna do that for them tonight. It is. It's a non profit.	01:36:29
	Organization of 501C3 and it is the name of the 501C3 is meet rains of hope HOPE and they provide I think I'm going to say this	01:36:36
	right equine assistant psychotherapy with the use of horses to veterans.	01:36:48
	Active duty military first responders and youth and unsafe situations.	01:37:01
	And they have these programs for free. So if you're interested, again, the names is meet rains of hope is the 501C3 and the thrift	01:37:06
	store name is uncover Wonders and they also have.	01:37:13
	Have days when they will have new mothers that don't have what they need. They will give you a bag and let you fill it up with all	01:37:22
	the things that you need for 10 bucks.	01:37:28
	So please communicate that out. And so that is all that I have. So thank you for allowing me today. Mayor Perez, may I recall my	01:37:35
	last one. So I got to spend some time with Orvin Carpenter and I encourage anybody come in and talk with Orby and get to know	01:37:43
	Orvin. And I learned something that's very interesting that I noticed that a lot of the old timers came from Arkansas. And I asked	01:37:50
	Orvin, I go, what is this Arkansas connection? And he says, well.	01:37:57
	Gamma, there was coal mines in Arkansas and the coal miners union is the same as the longshoremen union. So a call came out to	01:38:05
	said, hey, they need some long Sherman down here in Waimea. So 500 families relocated from Arkansas to wine Amy. I mean, it's like	01:38:12
	wow, amazing. So yes, Orbene Carpenter, what a jewel He and we're gonna celebrate him coming up. I got to spend some time on the	01:38:19
	radio with him last week and that tidbit came out and I'm like, oh, I finally know why.	01:38:26
	Thank you. I will have a brief overview of the Port City Committee meeting, the last one we attended. The both sides approved of	01:38:34
	all of the project listed that were proposed. Mr. Peretz and Adam Vega from the court will start the process for checks and events	01:38:43
	for those projects. The DC trip will be moved to the beginning of next year to discuss how that's going to go.	01:38:51
	And one of the items they would like to have on the agenda is the dredging operation and fiasco and to find out exactly what	01:38:59
	happened with that and how to avoid it happening again.	01:39:04
	Kristen and James will have a follow up to plan, the 30,000 that was implemented that we approved for the economic development	01:39:11
	plan and some of the projects that we can fund with that.	01:39:16
	And then the final one. Kristen and James will also further discuss the grant writer.	01:39:22
	Project that was brought up earlier, so that is it from the Port City committee meeting.	01:39:28
	OK. So moving on, we'll go on to agenda items.	01:39:34
	Do any council members have an agenda item they'd like to request?	01:39:41
	Yes, yes, Mayor, I'd like to ask for an update on the city Styrofoam ban.	01:39:45
	I think it's it's probably been about a year.	01:39:50
	Does he have a second for that? I'll 2nd, 2nd.	01:39:54
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:39:58
	Any further agenda items? Yes, I have two. I have a request for a proclamation declaring November Indigenous Peoples Month and I'm	01:40:05
	hoping we could have it at our next meeting and invite Julie to My Might Stensley to receive the proclamation on behalf of the	01:40:12
	Chumash local Shoe Mash people here in Port Hueneme.	01:40:19
	A second for that.	01:40:27
	2nd.	01:40:31
	Madam Clerk.	01:40:32
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:40:33
	And then my second one, and I don't know that this actually requires, it might already be in the city managers plans, but to make	01:40:40
	sure that we calendar a strategic planning session for our January meeting.	01:40:47
	Do you need a motion for that?	01:40:55
	I would say my suggestion would be not to do it in January because we're still going to be, there's several items already planned	01:40:58
	that we need to get through like items because of the election items that we will need to kind of get through relatively quickly.	01:41:05
	So I think if the direction is just to have a strategic planning early next year, we can do that. If it's requested specifically	01:41:13
	in January, then then I would say make a make a motion if you want to.	01:41:20
	Well, yeah, the earlier in the year the better.	01:41:29
	So are you good without emotion? Yeah, OK. I mean.	01:41:32
	But early in the year.	01:41:37
	Before we get too far into 2025.	01:41:40
	Yes.	01:41:47
	I second the motion to have the strategic planning on the agenda early in the year.	01:41:53
	OK, Madam Clerk, all in favor, all opposed.	01:42:00
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:42:04
	Any further agenda?	01:42:08
	Requests.	01:42:10
	I will have one. I would like to do a request for a safety study of the intersection of Wyman Road and Ventura Road and the.	01:42:14
	Turns the.	01:42:24
	You know what I'm talking about, James.	01:42:27
	Right now there is no dedicated right and left turn lanes, and there's some concerns from residents about trucks.	01:42:29
	Running that and almost hitting residents, trying to turn, trying to beat the light.	01:42:38
	At the intersection of Waimea and Ventura, he said. Right, north-south and east and West.	01:42:44
	Got it. I'll second that.	01:42:51
	I've witnessed that a lot.	01:42:54
	All in favor, aye?	01:42:57
	All opposed.	01:42:59
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously. OK, we have nothing further that I'm going to adjourn this meeting. The time is 8:14.	01:43:01
	Thank you all for attending.	01:43:06

	Here, Council Member Hernandez. Here Council Member Martinez present.	00:00:03
	And Mayor Perez here. Tonight's inspiration will be given by Council Member Steven Gama.	00:00:08
	Thank you very much, Mayor Perez. Let me see if I get this up. So inspiration is the most enjoyable part of being on City Council.	00:00:15
	I like to go into the community and find people who are truly being inspirational. And I have this control here. So dance. Dance	00:00:23
	to the beat of your dreams. I used to work for the Oxford Union High School District and 20 years ago I.	00:00:31
	Was there doing my job and I see these kids dancing in the corridor and one of those dancers.	00:00:40
	Is now the teacher and the coach for the program at Channel Islands High School. So they've always valued dancing and they're very	00:00:45
	serious about it. And just about every day in the afternoon after school, you'd see them practicing. Currently the principal is	00:00:52
	Marianne Ramos. And in the middle is that student I was talking about, Mark Rocket on Coach Rock. He is now the instructor of the	00:00:58
	dance program.	00:01:05
	This is him down in the bottom right.	00:01:12
	Back in the 2000 when he was a student at Channel Islands High School. And so he's come back and he's now the teacher of the	00:01:15
	program. And a couple weeks ago at the Savvy Senior event, we did a Halloween thriller type.	00:01:23
	Event and I called mark and I said hey would the kids be willing to come over and dance He goes absolutely I he goes what do you	00:01:31
	want us to do I'll just do a thriller thing can you do that and and sure enough they they came and they stole the show the seniors	00:01:37
	loved them they were dancing with them and it was just so uplifting to see these kids perform and let's see if this works I just	00:01:43
	want to give you a little bit of a.	00:01:49
	This is the exact performance they did at the Banana Festival.	00:01:58
	And.	00:02:03
	They redid that for for us for the Savvy Singer event.	00:02:04
	So if you know anything about teenagers, trying to get 40 of them to do the same thing at the same time, kind of difficult.	00:02:08
	But they're so professional and so into the craft of dancing that they've really taken into it. Oh, there we are. We got some of	00:02:16
	them here. They've taken it to a national level and they've they've received a national awards. I'm so glad you're all coming in.	00:02:22
	All right.	00:02:27
	I love the fact that you're wearing your Channel Islands. Look at this. They're just coming in droves.	00:02:38
	Yeah, so I was just telling the council how dedicated you all are to dance and how inspirational you are when you go out and	00:02:45
	perform and that you you've received national recognition for your dancing. And I was trying to express to my colleagues up here	00:02:53
	how much fun we had the other night at the Ocean View Pavilion. Do you agree?	00:03:00
	And so the seniors, I was like, man, how is this going to go? I didn't know how I was going to go. But the seniors say absolutely	00:03:09
	loved it.	00:03:13
	And they came forward and they danced and everybody was having a great time. And so I called Mark Coach and I said, hey, you think	00:03:16
	you could do a thriller rendition because that's the theme of the night. And he goes, oh, yeah, we could do it. And then, OK, so	00:03:22
	they showed up and.	00:03:27
	Now those screams are coming from the seniors.	00:03:38
	But truly inspirational, you guys. I don't know how you do it, but man you.	00:03:44
	Getting 40 kids to do the same thing at one time, in the short amount of time that you had to learn this routine, it was magical.	00:03:49
	Fellow colleagues up here will encourage you to continue your dreams, chase your dreams, dance to your dreams and.	00:03:58
	It was just such an enjoyable night. So we had dinner together, right. We had dinner and then we we passed the hat and.	00:04:06
	Generous seniors of the city of Port Bohemia.	00:04:14
	They came up with $1000 in donations to support the program. So.	00:04:19
	We.	00:04:24
	We couldn't be more happy for the dance team at Channels High School. Coach rock, you rock.	00:04:29
	Hopefully we'll be able to see you in White Amy Beach Festival, Banana Festival again. But I hope hope to make this relationship,	00:04:35
	which is possible to the future. So I have a certificate for you. I'd like to.	00:04:40
	Can we get a picture?	00:05:00
	Councilmember Gama.	00:05:46
	Get a picture of everyone.	00:05:48
	Yeah.	00:05:50
	You got it too.	00:06:14
	Thank you.	00:06:21
	Thank you.	00:06:26
	Right.	00:06:41
	Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Take care.	00:06:46
	All right. I thought I was. They weren't gonna make it.	00:06:52
	Let's go.	00:06:56
	See you again.	00:06:58
	I don't know if I got to my last slide, but basically it's.	00:07:02
	You know kids when they're given the proper.	00:07:06
	Tools, they shine, they step up and they do great things. And I couldn't be happier with their performance at the Savvy Seniors	00:07:10
	event. And they hit the boards, as I say, in Broadway. So thank you.	00:07:17
	Thank you. Very well done. That was great to see.	00:07:25
	We move on to public comments. We will now hear public comments not pertaining to items on the agenda. Comments are limited to	00:07:29
	three minutes. This process will be the same for comments pertaining to each agenda item. Madam Clerk, do we have any public	00:07:33
	comments tonight? Yes. First up is Timothy Fergal.	00:07:38
	To give us some bad news.	00:07:45
	Good evening, Mayor Perez, Mayor Pro Tem McQueen Lejeune, esteemed council members, city staff, members of the public. My name is	00:07:51
	Tim Fergal. I'm the city librarian for Port Hueneme working with the Ventura County Library. Just wanted to give you a few updates	00:07:58
	about the status of the construction project and then some personal news. So we'll lead with the construction project.	00:08:05
	Like I had mentioned during the last community update, the.	00:08:12
	Restoration of the damages has been completed at this point. We have recently closed up the ceiling of the library, which is	00:08:17
	exciting progress. We're very happy about that and you'll start to notice some more work crews as we begin the planned	00:08:23
	construction project, which we were awarded a grant right before the flooding happened. So expect a little bit more activity out	00:08:29
	of the library at this point.	00:08:35
	Now, as far as the item of personal news, this will be my last meeting. I have accepted a position as an executive director of a	00:08:43
	library out of state. It has been a pleasure to work with all of you to serve the community of Port Hueneme and to provide, you	00:08:50
	know, world class library services to the people in Ventura County. So I just wanted to thank you again for your partnership, your	00:08:57
	creativity, great sense of humor. You know, you really made me feel at home the past two years.	00:09:04
	And just thank you very much again for the opportunity to deserve port. Why need me? Thank you, thank you, and congratulations.	00:09:11
	Greg Ross.	00:09:22
	Good evening, Mayor. Mr. Perez, Mayor Pro Tem.	00:09:33
	And council members.	00:09:38
	Mr. Vega.	00:09:40
	I I've lived in Port Hueneme since 2001. My name is Greg Ross and I currently reside.	00:09:42
	Very close to the port over near Market Street.	00:09:53
	And I think you might have this in front of you.	00:09:57
	But before I get started.	00:10:01
	It's pretty apropos that that group. I love the energy of the young people.	00:10:04
	And I see all these pictures. It's great. The, you know, sadly, Quincy Jones died today. And so that was pretty apropos to hear	00:10:10
	Thriller who he made it famous.	00:10:17
	So anyway.	00:10:24
	Going forward.	00:10:27
	I really appreciate this city more than you might imagine. Just three days ago I was walking my dogs.	00:10:29
	And there was a landscape person.	00:10:37
	He was so friendly and he said hello. And that's what I find from this city. The city has a lot of very you. You hire the right	00:10:40
	people.	00:10:45
	You know, you, you, you put in speed bumps out in the market and and Surfside. That's great. Thank you for listening. So I'm	00:10:51
	asking now today to look at this. This is a little map that I drew.	00:10:59
	We obviously live in the Anacapa Beach homes.	00:11:07
	And Seaview is right behind us.	00:11:11
	And I can't tell you how many people, it's very sad. I had a family member who was homeless. It's very sad. Some of these people	00:11:15
	live in their cars right there on Seaview, on the on the South side of Seaview between Market and Ventura Rd.	00:11:22
	There's trash everywhere. I didn't burden you with all the pictures.	00:11:31
	But I have them.	00:11:37
	This is one week.	00:11:38
	This is all one week, it happens every day, and so our HOA pays somebody to pick up all this trash.	00:11:40
	It's it's sad that that that that people are living in their cars like that. But there's there's noise. The other day there was a	00:11:48
	hit and run right on Market and Ventura Rd.	00:11:55
	I don't know what happened because this is the the Port Wayne Amy Police Department that said there was a hit and run. I didn't	00:12:03
	follow up on it.	00:12:07
	But we're asking for you.	00:12:12
	Only got 20 seconds left? We're asking for you to consider.	00:12:14
	A 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM curfew on parking there so that they'd have to a lot of residents.	00:12:20
	I'm going to go over one second.	00:12:32
	A lot of residents from the apartments parked on that street and and so we get it, there's surfers that come, there's people from	00:12:34
	the port that come to have their lunches, etcetera. I'm just asking to consider whether we can put in a 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM	00:12:43
	parking by permit only so that we.	00:12:51
	Curtail some of this trash, some of the noise and some of the other things. So thank you for listening.	00:13:01
	Dulce Satterfield.	00:13:09
	Yeah, Mayor, if I can comment on that just briefly. It's not on the agenda, so we can't debate it. But we are as staff starting to	00:13:13
	work on some parking analysis that we are going to try to bring a proposal to the council on to look at parking citywide. Because	00:13:19
	we're we're getting a lot of questions and requests related to parking and things like permits and and not allowing parking in	00:13:25
	certain locations at certain times. And we want to make sure we're looking at the city really holistically when we are talking	00:13:31
	about that so.	00:13:36
	We'll be bringing a proposal to the council at an upcoming meeting to start talking about doing some analysis for parking.	00:13:42
	And in the meantime, we were aware of the issue on Seaview. So we did have our public works team go out a couple weeks back. But I	00:13:49
	think to the point.	00:13:53
	That Mister Ross made that the there are a couple people who seem to be dumping trash there more regularly so we'll we'll keep an	00:14:00
	eye on that in the meantime so.	00:14:03
	Good evening, Mayor Perez and.	00:14:19
	Mayor Pro Tem McQueen legend and all council members. I'm Dulce Satterfield. I'm not here to.	00:14:22
	Talk on the topic I covered in July, but on economic development. That topic came up the same night I was here in front of you and	00:14:28
	I didn't stay past the kind of bogged down discussion on the mural. So it was the hour was late. So it was only weeks later that I	00:14:37
	watched the economic development presentation online and appreciate that I could access it there.	00:14:46
	It seemed that you there was some sentiment towards couldn't we?	00:14:55
	Vote on this later because there hasn't been much comment and then it was seemed to be a conclusion that well, we can we can vote	00:15:01
	on it tonight and then there can still be more consideration of the the whole economic development package. So I just thought I'd	00:15:08
	throw in my very impromptu comments. I thought about it while I was driving back from Ojai and.	00:15:16
	First of all, I.	00:15:25
	The part time.	00:15:29
	Technician or aide position.	00:15:31
	To support the economic development, I'm I'm in favor of that.	00:15:34
	I don't know if you've seriously looked at it or put it off. I worked in a part-time capacity for the city of Mountlake Terrace in	00:15:38
	Washington state. It wasn't economic development, it was energy management aid. But the city needed that, that part-time	00:15:43
	assistance and.	00:15:48
	I successfully prepared grant applications and got projects.	00:15:55
	Started the implementation when the money was awarded and a number number of other things and I think the model could fit well	00:16:03
	with the economic development that one caveat I want to give is that it's very easy for someone who is in a part time no benefits	00:16:09
	or low benefits status to be looking elsewhere. And so if you bring in a part timer, ideally the job is shaped in the way that	00:16:15
	the.	00:16:21
	All the.	00:16:27
	The knowledge the the in progress work can be very easily transferred to somebody new and that you don't have a gap for too long	00:16:29
	on anything critical if you go with that part time model.	00:16:35
	Then.	00:16:44
	I wanted to say I realize there's some challenge with the whole retail situation as with other cities. And I want to say I	00:16:46
	personally visited Tranquest Canyon a number of times on mostly Fridays when they had these events and one shop after another,	00:16:53
	they were either shutting down, relocating somewhere very far away. It was just a tough go. You have different circumstances here,	00:17:01
	but I just want to say it's it's challenging and if if there's, if you have, if there's.	00:17:08
	I don't know. You just got to try, try again, but don't put all your I would not put all your bets on on the build up of the	00:17:15
	retail. Thank you.	00:17:19
	That concludes public comment for this section.	00:17:25
	Mayor, if I could just note on that point that we are going to bring a report back in coming probably probably a couple months	00:17:28
	from now starting to look at implementing some of those projects. So we will have opportunities to talk about the economic	00:17:33
	development plan in future council meetings. Thank you. We'll now move on to agenda approval. May I have a motion and a second to	00:17:39
	approve the agenda?	00:17:44
	So moved.	00:17:52
	2nd Madam Clerk.	00:17:54
	All in favor? Aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you. Do any members of Council have any conflicts of	00:17:57
	interest to disclose for any item on the agenda?	00:18:02
	Not seeing any? We'll move on to presentations. The presentation tonight is the invitation to the community to attend the City of	00:18:10
	Port Huenemes Veteran Day ceremony.	00:18:14
	Thank you. And we just wanted to take a moment. We always talk about these items at the end of the meeting, but we know that	00:18:20
	especially when we have long meetings, sometimes we lose people along the way. So we wanted to take an opportunity to announce	00:18:28
	this up front at the start of this meeting. And this meeting ended up being perfectly timed because veteran's day somehow is next	00:18:35
	week. It doesn't feel like November already, but next Monday is November 11th. And so we will have our veteran's day.	00:18:42
	Here at City Hall at 8:30 AM next Monday and we're pretty excited about the program this year, so we wanted to make sure that we	00:18:50
	got word out and that we invite our community to participate. We have two great speakers this year. 1 is historically we've	00:18:56
	actually.	00:19:02
	Not really been able to get.	00:19:09
	One of the captains from our Navy base, because they have so many other events that they attend and including on the base of that	00:19:12
	day, but we were able to coordinate with them in advance. And we have Captain Daniel S Bentsey, who is a captain and deputy	00:19:18
	Commodore of the Airborne Command and Control and Logistics Wing, will be our keynote speaker, which is something we're proud of	00:19:24
	that we get to have representation from our.	00:19:31
	Navy base located in our community.	00:19:38
	And then on top of that, we have a special veteran tribute this year for Orvin S Carpenter, who also will be celebrating his 100th	00:19:41
	birthday shortly. And you may recall that we.	00:19:49
	Were able to honor him last council meeting by approving the use of the OR being Carpenter Center for his 100th birthday. But we	00:19:57
	also were able to in the meantime, convince him to come out and receive a special tribute on our veteran's day ceremony next	00:20:04
	Monday. So we're very excited about that. We noted last meeting that his his credentials are pretty impressive. He's a veteran who	00:20:11
	served in the Marines during World War 2, the Army during the Korean War.	00:20:18
	And also served as postmaster in White, Port Hueneme and Oxnard.	00:20:26
	As well as the longest serving Portland Amy council member for with 32 years serving and so.	00:20:30
	We're really excited to honor him in advance of his 100th birthday and thank him for his service to our community and for serving,	00:20:39
	and so we will be honoring.	00:20:44
	Him and we will have our ceremony Monday next week at 8:30 AM just out in front of City Hall and it's open to the public and	00:20:51
	anybody who would like to attend, we invite to attend.	00:20:57
	And so thank you to the Council for letting us give that invitation out here at the top of the meeting.	00:21:03
	Thank you. We wanted the consent calendar. Will now consider items on the consent calendar which will be enacted in one motion	00:21:11
	unless a council member has a request to remove an item for discussion. Do any council members have a request to remove any items?	00:21:17
	Not seeing any. Can I have a motion in a second to approve the consent calendar?	00:21:26
	Motion to approve.	00:21:30
	2nd.	00:21:33
	Madam Clerk.	00:21:34
	All in favor.	00:21:36
	All opposed.	00:21:38
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:21:39
	Thank you.	00:21:42
	We'll now move on to public hearings.	00:21:44
	The public hearing for tonight is to adopt A resolution granting conditional permit number PHCU 24-1 to allow the installation of	00:21:46
	a 45 foot tall stealth wireless communication tower.	00:21:53
	To be located within a landscape common space corridor abutting the residential unit located at 193 W Garden Green and find the	00:21:59
	project exempt from sequa. Madam Clerk, do you have proof of publication as required by law and a complete file of reports and	00:22:05
	exhibits? Yes, Madam Mayor, thank you. Will stop. Please present the report.	00:22:12
	Yes. Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem staff. So before you today is the project PHCU 24-1 Wanami Bay Wi-Fi Tower, an application	00:22:19
	filed by Wi-Fi Harbor LLC.	00:22:27
	So the request is for installation of a wireless telecommunications facility facility consisting of a 45 foot high pole with an	00:22:38
	axillary electrical equipment to be located.	00:22:44
	At a residential common landscaping corridor, it's going to be generally located about 10 feet West of 100 or 193 W Garden Green.	00:22:52
	The purpose of this pool and wireless communication facility is to provide Internet broadband services to the residents of the	00:22:59
	Carefree Living Association known as Wanami Bay, and a conditional use permit is required for this type of new utility facility	00:23:07
	upgrade within.	00:23:14
	And the limited multifamily R2 zone.	00:23:22
	A little bit of a background story as how how we got here. On July 11th, 2024, the Carefree Living Association known as the HOA of	00:23:26
	Wanami Bay unanimously approved the project. And then on July 19th, the applicant entered into a lease agreement with the HOA for	00:23:34
	the installation of the tower, associated equipment and energy charges that would be.	00:23:42
	That would come of the tower because it was placed in the HOA common area.	00:23:51
	The applicant will be required to adhere to all Federal Communication Commission requirements, FCC and the California Public	00:23:56
	Utilities Commission CPUC regulations pertaining to these types of wireless communication facilities.	00:24:04
	The site characteristics once again the project will be located generally 10 feet West of 100 and 93rd W Garden green and a little	00:24:13
	bit about the surrounding uses. To the north it's more of the Wanami Bay multi family residential dwellings as well as single	00:24:20
	family homes. That border city of Oxnard on Hemlock to the east is with the Wanami Bay community, which composes a multi family	00:24:28
	dwellings.	00:24:35
	To the South you have the same sort of layout and then to the West it does touch on the border of the Sandpiper to multifamily	00:24:42
	residential community. And once again this is within the limited multifamily R2 zoning designation plan development.	00:24:50
	So here's the picture of the aerial site plan. As you can see, the Wi-Fi tower will encompass a small section of the northwest	00:24:58
	part of the HOA Wanami Bay community. And it won't typically be seen from public streets as it's completely going to be	00:25:06
	encompassed inside of the Wyoming Bay community.	00:25:15
	Some of the tower details like was mentioned for it's going to be a 45 utility pole with one Wi-Fi broadcasting antenna mounted to	00:25:26
	face SE in order to get as much overlay into the community and provide those wireless broadband speeds in order to meet our city	00:25:35
	requirements for stealthing. The utility pool will be a powder coated light Gray to match nearby poles.	00:25:45
	And we'll have a decorative light Gray ray cap concealment Topper that I will feature in follow up slides here. And the facility	00:25:55
	will be operated by underground fiber optic and Electroconduit terminating at a new equipment cabinet, which I will highlight in	00:26:02
	future slides and it will be painted to match the residential building that exists.	00:26:10
	So this is the tower elevation as can be seen on the bottom there all of the utilities will be undergrounded and then they'll go	00:26:18
	right up against the building. And then there is landscaping that will hide most of that conduit and any conduit that is exposed	00:26:26
	will be painted to match. The utility cabinet can also be seen to the.	00:26:34
	Right side of this diagram and then front and center again is that 45 foot pole with that ray cap Topper in order to hide some of	00:26:43
	the wiring and other antenna characteristics that would otherwise be seen.	00:26:50
	Here's the project rendering of what that will look like. Things to mention are there is a tree that is north of where the tower	00:26:59
	is going to be that will remain as well as the other landscaping features. And then turf would basically be replanted to	00:27:06
	accommodate a new turf area once it's destroyed because it was disturbed during the construction phase.	00:27:13
	As far as sequel goes, this project is exempt under Section 15303, consisting of construction and location, a limited number of	00:27:23
	new small facilities or structures, installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures. This once again, this	00:27:29
	is a utility.	00:27:34
	Financial impact. There is no financial impact associated with this application as far as strategic plan consistency. This touches	00:27:42
	on our pillar of innovation and opportunity to retain and maximize opportunities for local businesses as the backbone for our	00:27:48
	community by providing broadband services and invest in new programs and technologies to strengthen our economy and attract	00:27:54
	innovation.	00:27:59
	It is now recommended that the City Council adopt A resolution that conditionally approves PHCU #24-1 and find the project to be	00:28:07
	categorically exempt from SEQUA.	00:28:13
	And joining us tonight are two representatives from Wi-Fi Harbor, Michael Taylor and also John Welty, that are available for	00:28:19
	additional comments. And I believe that they're going to go ahead and share a couple of opening comments for their project.	00:28:27
	My name is Michael Taylor and I am the owner of Wi-Fi Harbor and this is my associate, Mr. John Welty, and he is done several of	00:28:43
	these projects before, so he's been working with me closely. Thank you for consideration, Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem and the Council.	00:28:53
	Anyway, we've been providing service in the Wyoming Bay Area and many of the harbor areas up and down the coast of California for	00:29:03
	a long time. But in Wyoming Bay, over nine years, we currently service more than half of the residents in there and we wanted to	00:29:09
	stay up with technology and offer them.	00:29:16
	Enhanced services, we have to consider going into a new technologies and that's what we're doing with this.	00:29:24
	We currently occupy antennas on their existing.	00:29:31
	Structure, they have a tower there and we're looking forward to being able to enhance that through this new location, which is in	00:29:36
	a very, very good area to cover all those residences.	00:29:43
	And.	00:29:50
	It's been nice working with Jose. He's.	00:29:53
	Been very helpful.	00:29:58
	Thank you. Have any questions?	00:30:00
	This Council have any questions?	00:30:02
	At page 37 is.	00:30:06
	The tower going to be.	00:30:09
	Against the alleyway? Or is this drawing correct? I'm not sure if it is so. Page 37.	00:30:12
	If you, I don't know if we can get back to that, but this the street is believed it's Triton Street, right? So the curve there, it	00:30:22
	is going to be positioned just inside the curb on a grassy area. It's about a 30 inch diameter. Are the garages facing the wall?	00:30:30
	No, I'm sorry. That is a blind side of the house. OK, that's what threw me off because it's not.	00:30:38
	Also that pool is located alignment wise with all the other light bulbs on the street.	00:30:47
	So as you look down the street, light pole, light pole, light pole.	00:30:54
	But if this drawing was to be correct, there would be garages there, no OK.	00:30:57
	The perpetr?	00:31:03
	Garages are all on the garden green alley side. OK so that's like a red zone right there and it is street parking but it's just	00:31:05
	regular St.	00:31:08
	OK. And I'm kind of not technologically adapt, but logically I would think that.	00:31:15
	So the poll doesn't have to be in the middle of the development to serve everybody.	00:31:24
	No, the sector that we're using is has a 90°.	00:31:29
	OK.	00:31:35
	It serves the whole community.	00:31:38
	OK. And is it going to be disguised like a tree?	00:31:39
	It's gonna look like a light pole.	00:31:44
	OK, so it's.	00:31:46
	Just like another light hole.	00:31:49
	Except instead of a light.	00:31:51
	OK. Thank you.	00:31:54
	Any other questions?	00:31:59
	One question. And so thank you for the report.	00:32:02
	Detailed, but being that you're the experts and I'm not, I do have one question. So it speaks about.	00:32:06
	In just in Page 2 where it talks about the application and then it says.	00:32:13
	Talks about the FCC regulations pertaining to antenna installation and it says including emission standards.	00:32:20
	And other things. So just quick question, is there any risk?	00:32:26
	Or negative impacts.	00:32:32
	That could happen against the city or to the residents. No, there's first thing was allegedly as far as the emission.	00:32:34
	Anything. So that's an open question. Are there any risks or negative impacts experienced? OK, so.	00:32:42
	A cell phone.	00:32:50
	Cell phone, cell or sector and meds anywhere from 10 to 100 watts.	00:32:52
	A typical 45 foot tower that you might see at the corner of Hemlock and Ventura is like this ugly pole with a bunch of cell phone	00:33:00
	sectors on it.	00:33:04
	Those emit about 30 watts of power.	00:33:09
	Our sector only emits 4 watts of power.	00:33:11
	They they have the modulation that they have is like 4000 quam. It doesn't mean anything, but that's just a reference. OK. Ours	00:33:15
	has 256 quantum of amplitude modulation. So there's very low power, very low impact as far as radiation is concerned.	00:33:24
	Can I ask one more question again, I don't, I don't, I don't really understand it. Also as far as so there's going to be the poll,	00:33:34
	there's going to be an electrical.	00:33:39
	Plug in, so to speak or wiring, is that tied to anything, any of the properties, Port Hueneme properties or is that a standalone	00:33:46
	something that won't impact anything that so it will be integrated through conduit to the main building which is shown here on	00:33:53
	this elevation sheet. And so it will be tied into the existing building. And because there is no separate utilities in the lease	00:34:00
	agreement, there is sort of a cost share if you will for the electricity.	00:34:08
	For that property owner slash the HOA in order to make up for that. But since this antenna is fairly small in nature, it doesn't	00:34:15
	draw that much electricity. So if you'll look at the lease, it doesn't cost a whole lot for that. And as far as sort of some of	00:34:22
	the regulations from FCC, we do require an RF report by a licensed engineer to be submitted to the city, which is an exhibit on	00:34:30
	this that outlines that it it it doesn't exceed the FCCS.	00:34:37
	Requirements as far as, you know, negative detriments to health and that sort of thing.	00:34:45
	Thank you.	00:34:52
	I know sometimes there's a little contract EMS electric magnetic frequency.	00:34:56
	There's no, there's no rule. It's just radio waves. It's just an RF signal, OK. And believe it or not, when I was coming over here	00:35:02
	tonight, I'm listening to the radio and they're talking about Wi-Fi.	00:35:09
	Bandits, I guess that if you go to a public area and it says hey, you want Wi-Fi, here you go. That you have to be really careful	00:35:19
	because you could be playing into the hands of dubious characters. Is is there any risk of that with the residents at at Wanami	00:35:25
	Bay? No, I mean.	00:35:31
	What we do is we we connect to each home.	00:35:38
	And that goes to their Wi-Fi router. When we set up their Wi-Fi router, we set them up as secured.	00:35:41
	So each user comes to you and says hey here's my router and then you do the IP address.	00:35:47
	We make sure that it's a secured router with a password. As far as the tower is concerned, it's it's a point to point thing to the	00:35:54
	home and then from the home an Ethernet cable goes down into the router and that's how it works. So as far as stealing Wi-Fi, as	00:36:01
	long as the owner doesn't replace the Wi-Fi router with something that's unsecured.	00:36:07
	There's no and we do have firewalls on our main equipment as well.	00:36:13
	So we've been providing a similar service for nine years already in the community with that security. And so we'll each user have	00:36:18
	their own password or there'll be one generic password for each user has their own password. Excellent, excellent.	00:36:26
	Very similar to what I have with Spectrum. You come to my house, they go, hey, what's OK, Thank you.	00:36:36
	No further questions.	00:36:46
	OK.	00:36:47
	So I will now open the public hearing and take public comment. The public hearing is now open for public input at 7:08 PM. Are	00:36:49
	there any public comments regarding this item?	00:36:54
	Yes, Madam Mayor, we have 1 written comment. I'm going to start with that and then I'll call up the two in person comments, OK?	00:37:00
	This is a letter dated October 31st, 2024.	00:37:08
	City officers, I am communicating my concerns about the installation of a Wi-Fi tower within the Wyoming Bay complex in the	00:37:12
	immediate vicinity of my home.	00:37:16
	I live in the Wyoming Bay complex at the corner of Triton Way and W Garden Green, no more than 12 yards from what I believe will	00:37:21
	be the installation point of the tower. The 45 foot tower has been laying in a common garden area for approximately 2 months. I	00:37:29
	have not been communicated to in any way regarding this until receiving a letter from the City of Port Hueneme perhaps 10 days	00:37:36
	ago, nor have several of my neighbors whom I've spoken to. One can only assume that the governing board at Wyoming Bay carefree.	00:37:43
	Association has been in negotiations with the Wi-Fi Harbor for some period of time.	00:37:51
	And get there has been nothing that I remember specifically mentioned about this installation and the weekly bulletin distributed	00:37:56
	to property owners throughout the complex. Now I received notification from the city Clerk that was published on October 20th,	00:38:01
	2024, eleven days ago.	00:38:06
	I will not be able to attend in person the upcoming public hearing and some communicating my concern in writing.	00:38:11
	I'm looking forward to an in person meeting with the City Clerk to gather more information about the project. Hence, I cannot at	00:38:18
	this time express any intelligent concern about the ramifications of having such an installation, which nonetheless will have a	00:38:24
	significant impact on my property. That may be the acceptable way commercial projects are developed and implemented that benefit	00:38:30
	the city and HO. As it is not necessarily acceptable to all whom will be immediately impacted. I will attempt to follow up this	00:38:36
	letter with more specific concerns.	00:38:42
	Meeting with the City Clerk today so that I can launch these concerns prior to any need to challenge any actions in court. Thank	00:38:48
	you for your time, Robert Young.	00:38:52
	And now I will call.	00:38:57
	Betsy Stovin.	00:39:00
	Good evening.	00:39:09
	Mayor, Council people.	00:39:12
	I've had the Wi-Fi service in Waimea Bay for nine years. I've never had such excellent customer service. It's all very	00:39:14
	personalized. It's a good product and we would like to urge you all to approve a higher speed for Wi-Fi Harbor in Waimea Bay.	00:39:25
	So thank you.	00:39:37
	Robert Walker.	00:39:41
	Hello there, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and Council. I'm Robert Walker. I am the Vice President at the Board Carefree Living Association	00:39:52
	for Wyoming Bay. And I've lived in Wyoming Bay since 2013 and I was here initially when Wi-Fi Harbor first started and we did get	00:40:00
	their service.	00:40:09
	Their service was great as.	00:40:18
	Mike Taylor and John Welty stated it's very well secured because you either have your own router or they buy, they provide you	00:40:22
	with a router, but then in order to get their signal you have an antenna on your roof that reaches their antenna. So it's like a	00:40:30
	two way communication. You just can't pick it up. But.	00:40:38
	You have a password. You cannot get on to their into their system without the password.	00:40:46
	From your router right now, we've had slower speeds.	00:40:54
	Because we haven't been able to get higher speeds and thanks to their new tower, we will be getting broadband.	00:41:01
	Which is something that why that Wyoming Bay desperately needs.	00:41:09
	It was there was that report that a resident was concerned and that has since he has since come to us and said I don't have a	00:41:15
	problem with it anymore. I was concerned at first but I'm not now.	00:41:24
	And.	00:41:33
	The only other thing I can say is the fact that the tower will look like a light pole. It's going to sit there on the side on the.	00:41:37
	Side of the building by the street. And so it's not going to be in anybody's way. It's not going to block anybody's view and it	00:41:48
	will provide us with the type of Internet service that we need in in our community. So I thank you very much.	00:41:58
	That concludes public comment.	00:42:10
	Thank you.	00:42:12
	I will now close the public hearing. Public input has concluded. I want to close up hearing public hearing. The time being 7:13	00:42:14
	PM. We have before us a recommendation to adopt A resolution approving conditional use permit number PHC U-24-1, Wyoming Bay Wi-Fi	00:42:22
	Tower and find the project conditional use permit number pH CU24-21 to be categorically exempt from SEQUA and take such additional	00:42:29
	related action that may be desirable.	00:42:36
	May I have a motion and a second motion to approve City's recommendations?	00:42:44
	2nd.	00:42:49
	Thank you.	00:42:51
	Yes. Well, I'm going to have discussion. Is there any further discussion before we take a vote? I would like to say that while I	00:43:00
	was out and about in Waning Bay, that was one of the main concerns that people had was having better Wi-Fi service. There were	00:43:06
	quite a few residents who are unhappy with the state of the service. They lived on the other side of away from the tower. And so	00:43:11
	that was a big issue. If we could fix that and I'm, I remember having.	00:43:17
	I don't know how I'm going to fix that but.	00:43:23
	Now this comes in so we don't need to worry about it. So thank you.	00:43:26
	So yes, Madam Clerk, can we please take a vote?	00:43:29
	It's public hearing, so I'll do a roll call. Councilmember Gama.	00:43:32
	Yes.	00:43:37
	Councilmember Hernandez, Yes. Councilmember Martinez, Yes. Mayor Pro Tem McQueen, Legend Yes. And Mayor Perez.	00:43:38
	Yes, motion passes unanimously. Thank you.	00:43:44
	Congratulations.	00:43:49
	The next item is the.	00:43:51
	Introduction of ordinances amending sections 10277 and 10303, E 1B.	00:43:54
	10352 F 110353 D 10401 E&G. 10402 A 10421 F&H. 10422 A 1041 F&H. 10442 B 10471 D&F 10803 E 1.	00:44:02
	A and.	00:44:27
	No, don't throw her off.	00:44:29
	And one 08/04 of Article X of the Port Hueneme Municipal Code. And to find the project exempt from SEQUA project number PHZ Dash	00:44:33
	24-2. Madam Clerk, do you have proof of publication as required by law and a complete file of reports and exhibits? Yes, Madam	00:44:38
	mayor.	00:44:43
	Well, staff Priest was in the report.	00:44:50
	Yes, good evening. Thank you, Mary, you did very well and good evening to you rest of the council staff audience. So yes, this is	00:44:53
	and just wait till we get to the recommendation. By the way, a little discussion about that first, but who's reading it? But yes,	00:45:00
	so this is the first of several hearings that'll be coming through. This is kind of the easy one this evening with some clean up	00:45:07
	items and we're bringing these items to you for several reasons.	00:45:14
	With regard to the housing related items that we discussing tonight, which is most of that list you just read?	00:45:21
	The the state, as you may or may not know, continues to pass regulation after regulation with regard to.	00:45:30
	Getting additional housing of all types built for all income levels across the state and back. This year alone they passed over	00:45:39
	20, some of them as recent as just this past September.	00:45:45
	And so a few years ago when we passed our general plan, most of you were on the Council at the time that we did that.	00:45:53
	We included in that the housing element within the General Plan 21 programs to be met to help us the City of Port Hueneme.	00:46:02
	Meet the state requirements.	00:46:13
	And today we have 13 of those programs have been met. They're either implemented, they're ongoing.	00:46:16
	There are three more that will be implemented shortly by staff, but the remainder of them require changes to our zoning ordinance	00:46:23
	and or to zoning to specific properties and those of course require your action.	00:46:30
	And so some of those will discuss this evening and then we'll be bringing back more and I'll explain why they're not all being	00:46:38
	discussed tonight in a couple of slides here.	00:46:44
	The state also just recently, as of September, passed a new law that requires that public noticing, public hearing, noticing, be	00:46:51
	extended from 10 days to 20 days. Four items such as ordinances that will affect property, basically the uses on the property. And	00:46:59
	then finally, we've had a couple of miscellaneous requests.	00:47:08
	For garage sales and then also pick up our economic development plan implementation, there is a.	00:47:16
	Item with regard to temporary signs that we'll be reviewing this evening.	00:47:24
	So let's start with the housing related amendments. And like I said, this evenings are pretty much clean up items.	00:47:31
	The meteor items will be discussed starting at our next meeting on the 18th. And the reason for that is again because those items	00:47:39
	require that 20 day notice. Were these tonight only required the 10 day notice and since we got that new regulation passed very	00:47:45
	recently, we couldn't accommodate the full 20 days before this evening.	00:47:51
	So what we're looking at tonight is, first of all, to amend the the land uses, which were most of those codes that you just read	00:47:58
	for our R1R2R3 and R5 residential zones. We'll discuss the R4 standards at our next meeting because they're a little bit more	00:48:06
	substantial than what we're doing here this evening.	00:48:13
	So the first item is pertaining to employee housing.	00:48:22
	And employee housing is allowed by right per the Employee Housing Act of 2015 and also our Health and Safety Code.	00:48:26
	And so if there was employee housing, for instance, at the City of Portland, we wanted to start housing employees again and they	00:48:35
	purchased a single family home somewhere and had no more than six employees residing in it, then it would be allowed by right is	00:48:42
	considered a household, so to speak. Any more than that, though, would require conditional use permit.	00:48:49
	But So what we're doing is we're requesting that we amend the land use table to.	00:48:58
	Specify that employee housing with 60 fewer employees be allowed by right in our residential zones, and that is to comply with the	00:49:04
	state laws.	00:49:09
	The second one is very similar, dealing with supportive housing developments, and supportive housing developments are those that	00:49:14
	are.	00:49:17
	Where primarily if somebody is unhoused, it provides services and what not to help them get into a permanent housing situation.	00:49:23
	And currently our residential standards do allow.	00:49:32
	Supportive housing developments of six or fewer residents, again by right. So we're already there.	00:49:37
	However, the state recently changed that regulation where it's now there's no set number. It could be, you know, basically more	00:49:43
	than six folks could also be considered a supportive housing development by right. So again, this is a clean up item where we	00:49:49
	would be allowing these uses by right, no matter how many residents were in there. And again, that is to meet state law	00:49:55
	requirements.	00:50:02
	And then with regard to our density bonus ordinance, as you will recall, we just passed a substantially updated one just this past	00:50:12
	June and the state has already.	00:50:17
	Put together a new regulation with regard to those well.	00:50:24
	So since we are cleaning up other codes, we thought we'd take care of this one as well. And what Assembly Bill 2694 does is it has	00:50:27
	amended the definition of senior citizen housing on all types of senior citizen housing.	00:50:34
	Where they may include a shared housing building development and a residential care facility for the elderly. And that's as	00:50:43
	defined in the Health and Safety Code Section 1569.2. And therefore it is recommended that our density bonus ordinance be modified	00:50:50
	to state this. And so again, it's basically a clean up item just to make sure that we meet that definition at this point.	00:50:58
	And then with regard to our last housing related amendment this evening it.	00:51:09
	Deals with Section 1/08/04 of our Municipal Code, which is what we call the inclusionary Housing ordinance.	00:51:14
	And currently, our inclusionary housing ordinance requires that any new development with 10 or more residential units proposed in	00:51:20
	the coastal zone.	00:51:25
	Provide at least 25% of those units to be made affordable to low or moderate income households.	00:51:30
	Or the developer may pay an in lieu fee. Currently that is 26,500 per unit.	00:51:38
	And what we do with the city is we bank those fees and then we use those for future projects, for affordable housing projects,	00:51:44
	rehab or whatnot. And a great example that most of you participated in was our Habitat for Humanity project where we provided	00:51:51
	26,500 for each of the five units. And that was to help a habitat offset the overall cost of providing affordable housing here in	00:51:58
	the city.	00:52:05
	A housing element program #9 calls for expanding this to developments with 10 or more units a citywide and so it is recommended	00:52:14
	that section 1/08/04 a of the municipal code be amended to have this simple change to it where it goes from just coastal areas to	00:52:23
	development citywide and when we discuss.	00:52:31
	Our future zone changes at the next meeting.	00:52:41
	You'll see that you know, there's there will be some potential for development outside of the coastal zone where we can take	00:52:44
	advantage of either getting the affordable housing that we need and or getting the in lieu fees that can be used elsewhere in the	00:52:49
	city. So.	00:52:55
	That takes care of this evenings housing related items.	00:53:01
	And then we had a couple others here. The first one again is public hearing, noticing this took effect just past September, late	00:53:06
	September.	00:53:11
	And AB 2904 now requires that instead of typical 10 days for a public hearing, any ordinance or amendment that will affect	00:53:16
	permitted uses of real property have a 20 day notice period.	00:53:23
	So we're recommending that the municipal code sections for City Council hearings as well as those for development review committee	00:53:31
	hearings be amended simply to add the requirement for the 20 day noticing for these.	00:53:37
	Amendments or ordinances that affect the property uses on real property.	00:53:45
	Then staff has been receiving requests here and there to allow at least one additional garage sale per household per year.	00:53:52
	Currently, we allow one per household for up to two days at a time.	00:53:59
	We're requesting that Section 10277 be amended to allow each household in the city to have up to two broad sales for up to two	00:54:07
	days per event per year. And that shouldn't result in any code compliance issues. But at the same time allowing too many more. We	00:54:14
	get into the issue potentially where we have certain property owners that may want to have, you know, be basically running a	00:54:21
	business of garage sales every weekend.	00:54:29
	To the detriment of their neighbors. So we did want to.	00:54:36
	Make sure that that did not occur with this, but we think just at least allowing the additional one per year won't be a problem.	00:54:39
	Compliance, folks, and we'll still respond to the requests.	00:54:47
	And then our last item like I said is economic development related. We of course, you know passed our new plan a couple months	00:54:51
	ago. And this particular request is basically a fairly simple and cost effective one, not only for the city but also for	00:55:00
	businesses to to implement. And currently we only allow a banner up for business for 21 days a year total.	00:55:08
	We surveyed all of the cities in Ventura County and found that we are definitely the most restrictive city in the county and so	00:55:18
	looking at the the average period and the number of signs allowed per business.	00:55:24
	We are recommending that our sign ordinance be amended to allow each business to have.	00:55:31
	One freestanding or one building mounted temporary sign or banner for up to 30 days per quarter, which would be up to 120 days per	00:55:37
	year.	00:55:41
	Umm, the banner would he or or freestanding sign would either have to be located on the building or near its entrance. So for	00:55:46
	instance, if you've got a shopping center, say Mandalay, you don't have a bunch of banners, you know, along Channel Islands	00:55:54
	causing a bunch of, you know, sign clutter, which has been an issue. We, we discussed with past councils. This has been an item	00:56:01
	that's waiting to come for a while. And so we're recommending that those, the banners still be mounted.	00:56:09
	The same typical locations that they are now to prevent the clutter, but to allow quite a few additional days just again to allow	00:56:16
	the businesses to have a low cost way to advertise their their.	00:56:21
	Sales, their services, whatnot.	00:56:28
	Are not specific as far as what they would be used for. And then just note that windows signs will continue to be exempt. We don't	00:56:30
	require permits for Windows science as long as they don't take up more than 25% of the window area, so that will not change.	00:56:38
	And so with regard to SQL, these ordinances are exempt from SQL per section 15061 B 3 because these ordinances themselves will not	00:56:48
	result in any kind of development.	00:56:55
	And there will be no fiscal impact to the city from any of these particular.	00:57:04
	Changes. And so Mayor, at this point we have a very long recommendation.	00:57:09
	Would you like to read it or as part of the we go to take a motion or did you want me to take care of it now?	00:57:17
	Oh, let me think on that.	00:57:26
	Yeah, I can do it.	00:57:33
	OK. Well in that case, this concludes my presentation and I'm available to answer any questions. Thank you. Does Council have any	00:57:35
	question for staff?	00:57:40
	Yeah, I was just gonna suggest when we do, when it is time to make a motion, I think it'd be fine to say the recommendation as	00:57:49
	stated in the staff report.	00:57:53
	All right. Thank you. You know, I asked that before and somebody told me I had to read all of the words included in it. So I'm	00:58:00
	glad you made that clarification for me.	00:58:04
	OK. So no question from staff.	00:58:09
	Coming for council?	00:58:11
	So just curious on the two day garage sale per year. So that's something that we're not actively enforcing and would only enforce	00:58:17
	if somebody was making a business out of it.	00:58:22
	No, currently we require all business, all property owners and sorry, households to come in and get a garage sale permit, a no	00:58:28
	cost permit or is it a cost? It's a very limited, I think it's like $15. They can actually do it online. So we've continued to	00:58:34
	require that.	00:58:40
	OK. And.	00:58:46
	One of the things that has developed with the.	00:58:49
	Affordable housing rules that are coming down by the state and I didn't hear you address that is parking.	00:58:53
	Are we going to amend our?	00:59:01
	Ordinances for parking and front yard landscaping.	00:59:04
	Not at this time. That would have to be something that would be brought up later, and I don't.	00:59:10
	City Manager Vega and I have had this discussion and it looks like he wants to chime in here. Yeah, thank you. And we, I	00:59:16
	referenced this earlier during public comment, but we are working on an item for one of the next couple council meetings where we	00:59:22
	can start talking about some of the parking strategies that we can start looking at. And that that could be one if identified by	00:59:28
	the by the council. Yeah, 'cause I'm parking with the Adus is well, there's already a parking crunch in in Waimea in the 80 user	00:59:34
	making it harder and.	00:59:40
	Some of our.	00:59:46
	Requirements like 40% roll hardscape out front. I think it's it's becoming problematic.	00:59:48
	What about unlicensed food vendors? I keep getting complaints about the amount of unlicensed food vendors coming into Wanami	00:59:57
	Beach. I don't know that that has anything to do with this.	01:00:03
	Public hearing.	01:00:10
	Madam City Attorney.	01:00:12
	Yes, ma'am. Yeah, it's not. This item is particularly updating the sections of our Article 10 related to housing garage sales, and	01:00:14
	I'm blanking on one. Oh, the temporary signage. So it's just it's not included in there. It can be requested as a future item. OK,	01:00:23
	so then for me, the elephant in the room is there's a lot of signs and businesses right now. Political science is there.	01:00:31
	Any rules associated with political science? And I know that some other cities have rules. They kind of.	01:00:39
	Make exceptions during the political season, but how do we address that here in the city of port one evening? So this item is	01:00:47
	specifically related to temporary signage like grand opening banners, for example, for stores. That's what this item is related	01:00:54
	to. So this item doesn't have any impact on political science, but is there any ordinance for political science?	01:01:01
	We have general standards for political signs.	01:01:09
	That we follow as a city. Certain locations that they are are are not allowed in.	01:01:14
	Does any council have any questions pertaining this to this item?	01:01:21
	On the agenda?	01:01:26
	OK, can I have a motion to approve the?	01:01:30
	What so?	01:01:33
	Unfortunately we looked at it and we do have to read the whole recommendation so.	01:01:35
	Mayor, before you read, if you can just open comments. Yeah, open the public. Yes, I will open the public hearing. Sorry.	01:01:42
	That darn it.	01:01:49
	OI will open the public hearing and take public comment. The public hearing is now open for public input at.	01:01:52
	733.	01:01:58
	Madam Clerk, are there any public comments? No public comments. Thank you.	01:02:01
	I will now close the public hearing, the time being 733.	01:02:06
	We have before us a recommendation.	01:02:11
	Introduce the first reading by title only, waiving further reading of an ordinance entitled An Ordinance of the City Council of	01:02:15
	the City of Port Hueneme, CA, amending Chapter 4, Sections 10401 E&G. 10402 A 10421 F&H. 10422 A 10441 F&H. 10442 B 10471 D&F.	01:02:30

	project to be categorically exempt from SEQUA and take such additional related actions that may be desirable. May I have a motion	01:03:54
	and a second please?	01:04:00
	Move to approve second. Thank you. Any further discussion on this item?	01:04:09
	Seeing none, Madam Clerk.	01:04:14
	Council member Gama.	01:04:16
	Yes, Council Member Hernandez, Council Member Martinez. Yes, Mayor Pro Tem McQueen, Legend. Yes. And Mayor Perez. Yes. Motion	01:04:19
	passes unanimously. Thank you. And that concludes our public hearings for tonight. We'll now move on to business items.	01:04:26
	The business item for tonight is the City Council representation of REACH which is recreation, education, activities and culture	01:04:34
	in Wanami. Board of Directors will staff please present the report?	01:04:39
	Thank you, Mayor. This one will be brief.	01:04:48
	Quite simply, REACH, which is the recreation, education, activities and culture in Waimea.	01:04:54
	Nonprofit is starting to.	01:05:01
	Recompose their their board of directors and they are looking to.	01:05:05
	Kind of re staff with their board of directors being a working committee to start holding some events and fundraisers and and	01:05:12
	activities. And so recently as they were going through that process, they had noted that this the board up until now per their	01:05:18
	bylaws.	01:05:25
	Has a requirement that one of the board seats be filled by a representative of the City Council. And then recently, up until	01:05:31
	recently, had also had a requirement that one of the seats be filled by a designee of the city manager's office.	01:05:38
	And as the reach board is trying to essentially appoint the new board and move forward and and have their working board, they	01:05:47
	contacted the city to see if the city would be willing and agree to allow for the requirement to have a City Council seat on the	01:05:55
	board could be removed from their bylaws.	01:06:04
	It doesn't mean that the city wouldn't be able to have a seat on the board, but it essentially would just remove the requirement	01:06:13
	that a City Council member be part of the board.	01:06:18
	And the idea being if there is a council member who wants to get involved with REACH, they'd always have the ability to to attend	01:06:23
	the meetings and to look to get involved with the board. But there just wouldn't be a requirement to have that person to have a a	01:06:28
	representative of the City Council on the board.	01:06:33
	We, as staff have recommended that the Council approve that request from Reach to remove the position, primarily because typically	01:06:40
	as cities develop.	01:06:46
	Nonprofits.	01:06:54
	Typically in order to really establish that separation between the city and the nonprofit and kind of make sure that we're	01:06:56
	reducing the liability and the risk, typically cities do sort of at some point separate and stop having the council members make	01:07:04
	decisions on the board to kind of ensure that there is that separation. So just as a best practice, we're recommending that the	01:07:11
	council consider that request and.	01:07:18
	And authorized reach to eliminate that requirement again with the. Note that.	01:07:26
	Any interested person could attend REACH meetings and could look to be added to the board. It just wouldn't be a requirement that	01:07:33
	they have a council member specific position. So with that we're recommending that the council authorize that and we're available	01:07:40
	if there's any questions. Thank you. Does any council have any questions?	01:07:47
	Are there any other nonprofits that have a requirement to have a City Council member on?	01:07:54
	I'm sure there are somewhere, but I would say it's not typical. And typically kind of the process that normally happens is the	01:08:00
	city will create a board and kind of get it up and running and then and then separate and doesn't have the eventually removes	01:08:07
	council members off the board to move forward. So I think we're we're at that point, but it's not it's not typical to continue to	01:08:14
	have a council. Yeah, I would just hope that we go down that road and.	01:08:21
	Truly make any art Commission or Friends of the Library, Friends of the Museum reach be without council because it just creates.	01:08:29
	Brown Act issues.	01:08:39
	Because I think.	01:08:41
	2 council members on.	01:08:44
	Different committees at some point. Not all of them, but maybe 2.	01:08:46
	OK. Any other questions?	01:08:50
	Yeah, I have a couple of questions. Just as a follow on to Councilman Gama's comments, I anticipate the same will be done with the	01:08:52
	sister city.	01:08:57
	Organization, once it fully becomes a nonprofit is that.	01:09:04
	Let's stick to the Reach board of directors. I don't know that this is.	01:09:09
	I think at some point we'd be looking to do the same thing with with that.	01:09:13
	And then this also includes any alternate members as well, right? Because I believe there is an alternate for each.	01:09:19
	For Reach, I'm not aware of an alternate at this point, but I maybe Georgiana would you know?	01:09:27
	I thought there was. I can look into it, but I don't know right now. I guess I would assume it would be if I would say if we're	01:09:32
	authorizing reach to remove the council representative, we would.	01:09:39
	Include that that wouldn't there would be no City Council alternate position makes sense. OK, thank you.	01:09:46
	Any questions?	01:09:53
	Yes, I do have a.	01:09:57
	So it may take me a minute to get there so.	01:10:01
	I think this is a great idea. I think it as a nonprofit that reach should be self-sufficient out.	01:10:05
	And so I guess my question is.	01:10:11
	It seemed to me that because there was a city connection, the city supported.	01:10:15
	Certain you know had some level of support. Does this mean now it is truly separate and they'll be moving forward as.	01:10:23
	Any general nonprofit without the connection back to the city.	01:10:35
	The council would have the opportunity still to do things like right now the main thing that the city does is we sponsor reaches.	01:10:41
	The last two events they've had were pickleball fundraisers and the city has sponsored those by approving the use of those courts	01:10:52
	and I believe with the fee waiver. And so they could still make that request and the city could still consider that request. It	01:11:00
	just it would come through like any other agency making that. That was my next comment. So like any other nonprofit could request.	01:11:07
	And the responses would be be based on how we would respond to any other nonprofit. Exactly. And so then ultimately, it's up to	01:11:15
	the council to decide how much to support or how much not to support. OK, I just wanted to understand it.	01:11:21
	Any further comments or questions at this time?	01:11:29
	Madam Clerk, are there any public comments?	01:11:32
	No public comments. Thank you. So the recommendation is to authorize REACH to eliminate the City Council appointed position to the	01:11:34
	REACH Board of directors. May I have a second, a motion and a second?	01:11:39
	Move to approve.	01:11:44
	2nd thank you.	01:11:47
	No further discussion.	01:11:49
	Madam Clerk, can we have a vote? All in favor? Aye, all opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:11:51
	Thank you. The next business item is the 2025 City Council meeting schedule.	01:11:59
	Thank you and.	01:12:06
	This one very simply is we wanted to take the opportunity to try to set next year's calendar. We probably normally would do this	01:12:09
	in December, but I think with the timing of of the election and everything going on right now, we thought getting this out of the	01:12:16
	way now and then the December meeting, we expect to have many, several items on even just with all of the ceremonial items. So we	01:12:23
	wanted to get the calendar set for next year in advance.	01:12:30
	And while we have a meeting where we have the time to do it so.	01:12:37
	So we proposed a updated calendar which is shown on screen. Not many changes, mostly consistent with this year. The one change	01:12:40
	worth noting would be the summer schedule. Is we're proposing to the summer schedule to be a little bit different next year	01:12:48
	instead of taking one month off for a summer recess.	01:12:56
	We are proposing having one meeting in July and then one meeting in August and then canceling a meeting each of those months. So	01:13:05
	instead of 1.	01:13:09
	Long period without any council meeting, there's two shorter periods where there's just a meeting cancelled. And so the intent	01:13:16
	with that is to make sure we still have a meeting every month and that we have the ability to meet in case there's anything time	01:13:23
	sensitive without too long of a gap. But still making sure that there's a break for the public and the council to be able to and	01:13:31
	staff to be able to take.	01:13:38
	The time off without impacting city business and also we the break actually helps as we typically do research on some of the	01:13:46
	bigger items that.	01:13:51
	Requires some time for us to put together. So we still have that time in the summer to try to work on some of those those	01:13:57
	projects. So so the rest of the calendar really was not.	01:14:03
	There was nothing really changed from this year. It's simply proposing, changing that. July, August.	01:14:11
	Summer recess schedule, so we do have.	01:14:19
	A alternate.	01:14:25
	Calendar that would just match this year's exactly that we can talk about if desired, but we're recommending.	01:14:27
	Moving forward with this proposed schedule with the one meeting in July and one meeting in August.	01:14:34
	And we can answer any questions? Yes, Council have questions, I do.	01:14:41
	Thank you, Mr. Vega, for proposing this new calendar for the next year.	01:14:47
	Excuse me? There is something in this room that just sets my allergies off Excuse me?	01:14:53
	I noticed in January we only have one meeting. Is that intentional? I'm just.	01:15:00
	Hoping that maybe we could we could go ahead and have a second meeting, maybe the.	01:15:06
	The second week in January, just because you know, we have the economic development plan, strategic planning that we usually do in	01:15:12
	January.	01:15:16
	I think we've got a lot to cover at the first of the year.	01:15:22
	So right now, as proposed, just matches this year's with the first meeting in January. This year was cancelled due to the New	01:15:27
	Year's holiday.	01:15:31
	The New Year's holiday is.	01:15:37
	You know, a couple days ahead of the first meeting this year. So that's it's an option that the council could say that they want	01:15:40
	to add that meeting back in January.	01:15:45
	We thought about it, I think we had a thought that it's possible that many members of the public and or the City Council could be	01:15:51
	planning to be traveling in that period because it's still pretty close to, you know, most of the holidays. So we ended up just	01:15:58
	following the practice from this year of canceling the first meeting, but it's that would be at the option of the council.	01:16:05
	So we usually have our meetings the first Monday of the month. So that would be the sixth. Yeah, it would have been January 6th,	01:16:12
	January 6th. And then our last meeting in December is.	01:16:19
	Win for this year. This year it is December 16th, so that's quite a that's quite a number of weeks before.	01:16:26
	That's quite a break, Yeah. It would be a break of about four weeks.	01:16:35
	I don't know how the rest of the Council feels, but.	01:16:41
	I'd like to see us meet just because we're going to have a new council, at least that we at least one member that that's what I	01:16:45
	was going to suggest is that we're going at least going to have one new council member and perhaps having two meetings in January	01:16:52
	will help us get up to speed because it is.	01:16:58
	It is kind of weird when you, that new council member will be elected and then they're going to have to wait because what, when do	01:17:05
	we plan seating the new council, by the way?	01:17:09
	So the the county at this point has told us they because the county clerk has to certify all the election results and everything.	01:17:14
	So the expectation is December 18th.	01:17:19
	Yeah, I think we could squeeze, I think having two meetings.	01:17:27
	So just I had the the exact date wrong but the IT would be our second meeting in December.	01:17:32
	Yeah, and for the courtesy to the new council meeting member, I think it would be nice to have two meetings in January.	01:17:38
	OK, so then let's get through. If there's nothing else, let's get the public comments.	01:17:45
	And then we can make a change.	01:17:50
	Auto clerk, are there any public comments?	01:17:53
	No public comment. OK, so the recommendation is to approve the proposed 2025 City Council meeting schedule. Is there a motion like	01:17:55
	to be entertained?	01:17:59
	I'd like I'd like to make a motion to add January 6 and then approve the rest of the calendar.	01:18:04
	A second.	01:18:12
	One Second. January 6/20/25.	01:18:13
	OK.	01:18:17
	Madam Clerk.	01:18:18
	All in favor, all opposed.	01:18:20
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:18:23
	Thank you. Moving on to City Manager comments and reports. I'm sorry, but I did not make it to 7:30.	01:18:26
	You got 10 minutes.	01:18:37
	OK, I'll keep it brief.	01:18:39
	So we had a few items we wanted to just mention or give an update on.	01:18:43
	A couple people may have noticed in the last couple weeks was one is the Wyoming Beach walkway improvement project is ongoing now	01:18:50
	and people may have seen that they're out there actively working out at the beach over the last couple weeks. We expect that	01:18:58
	project to continue until November 30th. It should be completed by November 30th. Just as a reminder, it's repairing the.	01:19:07
	Cracks and broken up concrete panels in the beach sidewalk. But it's also going to install the new.	01:19:16
	Accessible path that will go to the swing set. So it's part of that project and the return of the swing set. So, so we're trying	01:19:24
	to minimize the impact of the construction, but we appreciate everybody working with us as we finish that project up over the next	01:19:30
	few weeks.	01:19:35
	Another event last week was we had our third annual Spooktacular, which was really.	01:19:42
	A I would say a good successful event. I think we had over 2000 attendees, which was a lot more than I had expected.	01:19:52
	We had a, we had a pumpkin patch that had 540 pumpkins and about halfway through the event we started trying to figure out where	01:19:59
	we could get more pumpkins if we needed them. So it kind of exceeded our expectations. But anybody who was there saw the, we had	01:20:06
	the train ride in the parking lot, which is in one of those photos. There were lots of creative costumes and, and the, the pumpkin	01:20:13
	patch and it was just a good family event, so.	01:20:19
	I'm trying to convince my relatives who live out of the area to come down for next year's and sending them pictures.	01:20:26
	Of this one to make them jealous so so that was a good Halloween Halloween event and in a minute we'll talk about some of the	01:20:33
	upcoming holiday events but we wanted to take the opportunity also to do one more reminder for the library mural project we are	01:20:40
	getting close to kicking off that project we just extended the deadline of the internship opportunity because we want to make sure	01:20:48
	we give an opportunity for one of the youth from Fort Wayne me to get involved and.	01:20:55
	And learn how to to work on these murals. And so that opportunity is part of this project. We have information on how to apply	01:21:03
	available at our on our website. And there's a little bit of information here. And there's going to be a $500 stipend for the	01:21:10
	internship. So we're hoping if anybody knows anybody, we're looking for somebody between the ages of 18 and 22, if you know	01:21:16
	anybody.	01:21:23
	In that age group from Port Hueneme who has a passion for the arts, let them know about this opportunity.	01:21:30
	And we're looking to try to get somebody by the end of this week, so.	01:21:36
	And work on that is expected to start shortly thereafter.	01:21:42
	And then, as I mentioned a moment ago.	01:21:46
	With Halloween somehow passed, we're already looking ahead to our upcoming holidays and we mentioned this last meeting, but just	01:21:48
	as a reminder that the Port Hueneme ticket sales for the senior holiday luncheon are starting this week, November 4th to November	01:21:56
	8th. I think we actually sold out fairly quickly last year, so we're trying to remind people about that opportunity with general	01:22:03
	ticket sales opening November 12th for the senior holiday.	01:22:11
	That's going to take place on Tuesday, December 10th. So it's coming up. So we have that and then our upcoming meeting November	01:22:19
	18th.	01:22:24
	Yeah. So some, the question was asked a moment ago about when new candidates after the election would be seated. It won't be until	01:22:30
	December 18th. So we have we that's when we're expecting. So we expect to have a couple more meetings before that happens. And so	01:22:36
	at our next meeting we're going to have.	01:22:42
	Part 2 of the planning code cleanup that we started today with some of the more in depth items as part of that cleanup. And we	01:22:49
	also are working on what we're calling a parking analysis where we're going to try to look. I think this will just sort of be like	01:22:55
	the upfront conversation and to explain what we're trying to do and get council feedback and direction about what to look more	01:23:01
	closely at and.	01:23:07
	Especially with some of the upcoming state law changes, that's going to impact parking even more.	01:23:14
	So, so we'll we'll bring that item back and then we also have an opportunity to apply for a SCAG technical assistance grant. So	01:23:19
	we'll bring be bringing that on the 18th as well. So, so that is the plan for November 18th and that is everything I have.	01:23:26
	OK. Thank you.	01:23:34
	We'll move on now to Councilman reports and comments.	01:23:36
	Councilmember Martinez.	01:23:40
	Just want to report that Rich is having a pickleball.	01:23:43
	Tournament this Saturday at 8:00 AM.	01:23:48
	You know, so hope to see you all there. And if you want to participate, there's an Eventbrite.	01:23:51
	Link for you to sign up.	01:24:01
	Or I don't know if I'm still supposed to report on reach anymore, but.	01:24:04
	Yeah, that's that's my announcement for today.	01:24:11
	Councilmember Gama Yeah, last week I attended the.	01:24:16
	Board of Supervisors meeting with supporting Danny Anderson. She is a disability access coordinator for the county and she	01:24:19
	successfully pulled off the first ever first of its kind disability summit and and I think it was long overdue considering that	01:24:28
	the ADA was passed in 1990. So I wanted to to go to the media and support her and and support the the concept that.	01:24:37
	We all have it within ourselves to accommodate not only ourselves, but our coworkers and people that we come into. And that even	01:24:46
	though the ADA codified into law.	01:24:51
	We do instinctively accommodate ourselves and we accommodate people in the workplace and I think that it's a real important for us	01:24:56
	to.	01:25:00
	To acknowledge our responsibility, it's hard to believe that the ADA has been in.	01:25:04
	Place since 1990. That was 34 years ago, but.	01:25:11
	I really want to congratulate Danny Anderson on on a wonderful program that she put together. And it's really, really cool to get	01:25:18
	all the cities kind of in Ventura County to get on the same page when it comes to accommodating people with disabilities. And I	01:25:25
	really love the fact that our city is kind of a leader in that for a couple reasons.	01:25:32
	I've been reading a book, have conversations that matter. It's written by Celeste Headlee and the thing that the.	01:25:42
	I've come to realize that I've been on this council for seven years now and it's taken all these seven years to come to the point	01:25:51
	which I want to make right now is that we need to have public conversations with our partners and specifically the port. And you	01:25:56
	know, we can't.	01:26:02
	Have darkroom backroom conversations. All our conversations of public items needs need to be here publicly. And then so I really	01:26:08
	want to encourage us to move in that direction. And I'm going to throw a subject out there that I hope isn't too controversial.	01:26:15
	But you know, in 2020, nearly 70% of our residents voted to keep our city name of the city of Port Hueneme. Clearly, there is a	01:26:22
	solid affinity between our residents and the Port of Waimea.	01:26:29
	And so along those lines with growth and modernization and stuff, I think, I think at some point we'd like to have a conversation	01:26:37
	about.	01:26:42
	Perhaps the?	01:26:48
	It could be renamed to the Port Hueneme Harbor District as opposed to the Oxnard Harbor District because the Port of Waimea is,	01:26:50
	after all, in the city of Port Hueneme. Today we had an executive committee meeting with Beacon and we're trying to plot our	01:26:56
	budget forward and.	01:27:02
	We have a lot of issues that are concerning us into the future that are going to require either grants or working projects	01:27:10
	planning and so the budget as it stands now.	01:27:17
	May has to be expanded. So I just wanted to mention that to our city manager when we start working on our budget, we may want to	01:27:25
	kind of budget maybe a 50% increase or something. But we at the board of Beacon, we really want to expand the use of getting	01:27:33
	grants and we're going to be coming back to each individual member here in the future to to try and.	01:27:41
	Figure out where the budgets going in if we're in fact going to have to make an increase.	01:27:51
	So on Beacon over the last four years, we've only had a cola's.	01:27:58
	We really want to look at the external funding grants. We've done really well with the implementation and planning and, and	01:28:05
	leveraging those funds. But we're quickly realizing that in the future we're, you know, it's going to be harder and harder to to	01:28:12
	operate the way we have been considering with the the things that are coming our way with climate change and sea level rise and	01:28:18
	whatever else is going to come our way in terms of the coast. And there's one other thing.	01:28:25
	Thing that I wanted to mention.	01:28:32
	Oh, in regards to the county, the county revenues have remained flat over the last year, but their expenses have gone up	01:28:39
	significantly. And so they're in the process of trying to rectify their budget and figure out, you know, what has to be cut.	01:28:45
	There's a lot of things in the county budget that are nice to have but aren't aren't, you know, necessary. So I just wanted to	01:28:52
	mention that that.	01:28:58
	We need to start thinking about what that may, how that may impact our city of Port Hueneme. Thank you.	01:29:05
	Council Member Hernandez, thank you Mayor Perez, I had the pleasure couple of weeks ago to attend the blue carpet premiere.	01:29:12
	For Real Anglers, a fishing show followed by a QA with with students. It was a great opportunity to see what Kevin Brannon has	01:29:20
	done with the Real Guppies program and how far he's moved in actually creating a show that's going to be aired on television. We	01:29:28
	saw parts one and two and it was really well done and I look forward to seeing a future programs that they put together.	01:29:37
	I also I had the pleasure of attending the Board of Supervisors meeting last week. I attended has a resident not as a City Council	01:29:46
	member.	01:29:50
	And I did not speak I.	01:29:55
	The purpose of for my attending there was to support our election workers who were being honored for their work with this election	01:29:59
	season. And I was happy to see Georgiana there and Christie Bugs and Kepper there. And we had three of.	01:30:07
	OK. Thank you.	01:30:16
	And then we have three city clerks there from Port Hueneme. And so it was a really special time to honor our election workers, to	01:30:18
	empathize with everything that they're going through this year with, you know, the right to vote, people showing up at all their	01:30:25
	board meetings. And we've had them here and it's it's been hard. It's been hard. So I know that they'll be glad when this election	01:30:33
	season is over and but they'll be getting ready for the next.	01:30:40
	When I'm sure as soon as this is done. So I just wanted to thank Georgiana for her service and as well as all the election workers	01:30:48
	who are working at this election.	01:30:53
	I have a number of asks also.	01:30:59
	You know, I when we have the city manager's comments, would it be appropriate to have an opportunity to ask questions after?	01:31:04
	After his presentation, I usually ask for questions and I think it's usually done. OK, OK, I don't remember that. But sometimes we	01:31:15
	just move so quickly on to the agenda. I may have missed it. So with the economic development plan being scheduled on the agenda,	01:31:22
	I hope that my, my ask is that we take a deeper dive into the plan so we can maybe have a refresher on what it what it contains,	01:31:30
	what is being recommended and then.	01:31:37
	Also an opportunity for council to weigh in on ideas and things that we've learned along the way.	01:31:45
	Things we've brought back from conferences and seminars and our visits with other cities.	01:31:52
	I'm hoping that we can have a brainstorming session if you will, or a discussion on on possible initiatives that can be included	01:31:58
	in the in the economic development plan.	01:32:03
	And let's see also I understand there is a grant coordinator position that's been approved under the Community Benefit Fund.	01:32:09
	That's a question I had for the city manager. Are we moving on that? No, there's not a position being approved.	01:32:21
	And I wouldn't recommend we have a full time position.	01:32:27
	For just grant writing, but we we have agreed to partner on a grant with the port as part of the CBF. So it's, it's not a creation	01:32:32
	of a position, it's just partnering on a grant. I misunderstood. I thought it was we were going to look at.	01:32:40
	A part-time position or a or a contract position, somebody that would assist us with grant writing be yeah, funding to continue to	01:32:49
	contract with somebody to write a specific grant for the the port in the city partnership. And we don't know what that grant is	01:32:54
	yet. No, OK.	01:32:59
	And then there there was a discussion on a calendar of proclamations for the new year. Is are you still intending to provide us	01:33:06
	with that? Yeah, but we are planning. That's where we mentioned that there's several items that make sense to bring back when we	01:33:14
	have the full council seated that will be seated for the next year. So it'll be on one of those agendas.	01:33:22
	OK. Thank you.	01:33:31
	That's all I have. Thank you.	01:33:34
	Mayor Pro Tem.	01:33:37
	Thank you, Mayor. Couple of things. I did get an opportunity to go to the Halloween event. It was wonderful. I was so surprised	01:33:39
	when I got there to see all those people, but it would turned out really, really nice. Then on the 28th of.	01:33:46
	October, Councilwoman Hernandez and I participated in the Naval Surface Warfare Center Community Leaders Tour.	01:33:56
	Community leaders around the county. So it was pretty nice. We got to go out on there, do a really nice ship tour and that was	01:34:06
	with Commanding Officer Tony Holmes.	01:34:12
	A couple of things from VCTC, while we should be thinking about our veterans and our active duty military all the time because	01:34:18
	veteran's day is coming up, VCTC and other county bus operators will be offering free rides to veterans, active duty members and	01:34:26
	U.S. military on veteran's day. So that's across the county and then on.	01:34:35
	December 14th, the Metro Link will be bringing their Holiday Express train to Simi Valley.	01:34:44
	On Saturday again, December 14th, the reason I'm announcing it because that Simi Valley train will be coming. There will be two	01:34:52
	trains traveling to Oxnard and then back to Simi Valley. So you have an opportunity.	01:34:58
	To participate in that, and there are.	01:35:04
	We'll have to have tickets for that and you can look at the Metrolink train.	01:35:08
	Dot com forward slash holiday.	01:35:14
	Dash Express to see the.	01:35:17
	The schedule.	01:35:22
	And then I.	01:35:24
	I'm going to be name dropping, so or business dropping. I don't do that very often, but I'll do it today.	01:35:27
	Had an opportunity to quite a few opportunities to go to Jalisco's Mexican food. I love that place.	01:35:33
	And while there, a couple of the folks there told me about.	01:35:40
	Antonio's.	01:35:45
	That I went to look for today and so Antonio's is in the.	01:35:47
	Shopping center with the mail, print mail and.	01:35:54
	Yeah, whining me in Ventura Road and then as I was looking for that in the wrong location.	01:36:00
	I ran across, I ran across a new thrift store named Uncover Wonders, who's been there about two months, and I just happen to have	01:36:06
	some thrifts stuff in my car that I was dropping off at the thrift store. So I was lucky enough to be able to drop it off there.	01:36:15
	And so they've only been there two months. I said, hey, have you guys been communicating to anybody here? And they said no. So I'm	01:36:23
	gonna do that for them tonight. It is. It's a non profit.	01:36:29
	Organization of 501C3 and it is the name of the 501C3 is meet rains of hope HOPE and they provide I think I'm going to say this	01:36:36
	right equine assistant psychotherapy with the use of horses to veterans.	01:36:48
	Active duty military first responders and youth and unsafe situations.	01:37:01
	And they have these programs for free. So if you're interested, again, the names is meet rains of hope is the 501C3 and the thrift	01:37:06
	store name is uncover Wonders and they also have.	01:37:13
	Have days when they will have new mothers that don't have what they need. They will give you a bag and let you fill it up with all	01:37:22
	the things that you need for 10 bucks.	01:37:28
	So please communicate that out. And so that is all that I have. So thank you for allowing me today. Mayor Perez, may I recall my	01:37:35
	last one. So I got to spend some time with Orvin Carpenter and I encourage anybody come in and talk with Orby and get to know	01:37:43
	Orvin. And I learned something that's very interesting that I noticed that a lot of the old timers came from Arkansas. And I asked	01:37:50
	Orvin, I go, what is this Arkansas connection? And he says, well.	01:37:57
	Gamma, there was coal mines in Arkansas and the coal miners union is the same as the longshoremen union. So a call came out to	01:38:05
	said, hey, they need some long Sherman down here in Waimea. So 500 families relocated from Arkansas to wine Amy. I mean, it's like	01:38:12
	wow, amazing. So yes, Orbene Carpenter, what a jewel He and we're gonna celebrate him coming up. I got to spend some time on the	01:38:19
	radio with him last week and that tidbit came out and I'm like, oh, I finally know why.	01:38:26
	Thank you. I will have a brief overview of the Port City Committee meeting, the last one we attended. The both sides approved of	01:38:34
	all of the project listed that were proposed. Mr. Peretz and Adam Vega from the court will start the process for checks and events	01:38:43
	for those projects. The DC trip will be moved to the beginning of next year to discuss how that's going to go.	01:38:51
	And one of the items they would like to have on the agenda is the dredging operation and fiasco and to find out exactly what	01:38:59
	happened with that and how to avoid it happening again.	01:39:04
	Kristen and James will have a follow up to plan, the 30,000 that was implemented that we approved for the economic development	01:39:11
	plan and some of the projects that we can fund with that.	01:39:16
	And then the final one. Kristen and James will also further discuss the grant writer.	01:39:22
	Project that was brought up earlier, so that is it from the Port City committee meeting.	01:39:28
	OK. So moving on, we'll go on to agenda items.	01:39:34
	Do any council members have an agenda item they'd like to request?	01:39:41
	Yes, yes, Mayor, I'd like to ask for an update on the city Styrofoam ban.	01:39:45
	I think it's it's probably been about a year.	01:39:50
	Does he have a second for that? I'll 2nd, 2nd.	01:39:54
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:39:58
	Any further agenda items? Yes, I have two. I have a request for a proclamation declaring November Indigenous Peoples Month and I'm	01:40:05
	hoping we could have it at our next meeting and invite Julie to My Might Stensley to receive the proclamation on behalf of the	01:40:12
	Chumash local Shoe Mash people here in Port Hueneme.	01:40:19
	A second for that.	01:40:27
	2nd.	01:40:31
	Madam Clerk.	01:40:32
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:40:33
	And then my second one, and I don't know that this actually requires, it might already be in the city managers plans, but to make	01:40:40
	sure that we calendar a strategic planning session for our January meeting.	01:40:47
	Do you need a motion for that?	01:40:55
	I would say my suggestion would be not to do it in January because we're still going to be, there's several items already planned	01:40:58
	that we need to get through like items because of the election items that we will need to kind of get through relatively quickly.	01:41:05
	So I think if the direction is just to have a strategic planning early next year, we can do that. If it's requested specifically	01:41:13
	in January, then then I would say make a make a motion if you want to.	01:41:20
	Well, yeah, the earlier in the year the better.	01:41:29
	So are you good without emotion? Yeah, OK. I mean.	01:41:32
	But early in the year.	01:41:37
	Before we get too far into 2025.	01:41:40
	Yes.	01:41:47
	I second the motion to have the strategic planning on the agenda early in the year.	01:41:53
	OK, Madam Clerk, all in favor, all opposed.	01:42:00
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:42:04
	Any further agenda?	01:42:08
	Requests.	01:42:10
	I will have one. I would like to do a request for a safety study of the intersection of Wyman Road and Ventura Road and the.	01:42:14
	Turns the.	01:42:24
	You know what I'm talking about, James.	01:42:27
	Right now there is no dedicated right and left turn lanes, and there's some concerns from residents about trucks.	01:42:29
	Running that and almost hitting residents, trying to turn, trying to beat the light.	01:42:38
	At the intersection of Waimea and Ventura, he said. Right, north-south and east and West.	01:42:44
	Got it. I'll second that.	01:42:51
	I've witnessed that a lot.	01:42:54
	All in favor, aye?	01:42:57
	All opposed.	01:42:59
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously. OK, we have nothing further that I'm going to adjourn this meeting. The time is 8:14.	01:43:01
	Thank you all for attending.	01:43:06
