Transcript

	Welcome to the City Council meeting Monday, January the 6th. I'm calling this meeting to order. The time is now 630.	00:01:47
	Please stand and join me for the flags loop.	00:01:55
	Ready. Begin.	00:02:02
	Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and.	00:02:03
	Madam Clerk, can we get a roll call? Councilmember Gama here. Councilmember Hernandez here. Councilmember Perez.	00:02:22
	Here, Sarah Pro Tem Lopez here and Mayor McQueen legend here.	00:02:29
	We're going to move to the inspiration and I get to do the inspiration tonight. I'm pretty excited about that being that it's the	00:02:35
	first council member council meeting in the year, so.	00:02:42
	Happy New Year everyone.	00:02:50
	OK so so I just been doing some reflection for myself over the past few months and I'm not one to do.	00:02:52
	New Year's resolutions, but I do try to make some decisions of how I'm going to move forward in the year. So I'm just going to	00:03:02
	share some of my thinking with you on this evening.	00:03:08
	So again, we're all here at the first council meeting of the year.	00:03:14
	So we're standing at the threshold of new opportunities.	00:03:18
	Some challenges maybe and the growth of our for our city.	00:03:22
	January is a time for fresh perspectives, where the lessons of the past year guide us as we chart the course.	00:03:26
	For the future.	00:03:34
	And while again I don't make resolutions.	00:03:36
	I have made him a commitment this year.	00:03:40
	My commitment as it relates to the Council is to not look back.	00:03:43
	Unless it's to learn from the past experience to inform our future decisions.	00:03:49
	To gain perspective on current situations or to understand patterns that might repeat.	00:03:55
	So you might ask why my response would be Google it.	00:04:02
	Google why we should not look back in the past and I tell you there's nothing positive written about looking back and living in	00:04:07
	the past, so it's good to look forward.	00:04:12
	So the Council is not just a body of decision makers.	00:04:18
	We are residents, we are community members.	00:04:22
	We are 5 individuals who experience and deal with some of the same issues along with the residents of Port Hueneme.	00:04:26
	So know that.	00:04:33
	So let's take a moment to reflect on just a few of our possible shared values.	00:04:35
	Progress.	00:04:41
	Accountability.	00:04:44
	And service.	00:04:46
	With just these three principles in mind, let us set our intentions for the year ahead.	00:04:48
	Focusing on the long term health and success of our community.	00:04:55
	So today.	00:05:00
	It marks the beginning of a new chapter, a new year, one filled with possibility, purpose and collective action.	00:05:02
	Together, I'm confident we'll build on the foundations we've established, starting with all the wonderful things our former mayor	00:05:12
	shared with us at our last meeting and as well as the staff.	00:05:20
	The leaders of the city, I have a long list of names and I always say I don't really like to call names. I'd have to say charge it	00:05:29
	to my head, not my heart. I never want to miss anyone, but I will just call a couple of names on today.	00:05:36
	So we're here, but we can't do our job without the city leadership.	00:05:44
	That's our city manager, our city attorney. I see, Commander.	00:05:50
	Albertson here. I see our fire department here, our chief Frederico's here, the Police Department is here, and you, the community,	00:05:56
	you're here. So collectively we can go forward and make this city better.	00:06:04
	And finally, as we begin this first meeting of the year.	00:06:13
	May it inspire us all to collaborate, to innovate and lead with compassion and integrity.	00:06:18
	So let's enter the New Year's with optimism and a renewed commitment to our mission.	00:06:28
	Thank you.	00:06:36
	And with that, we'll move to public comments, any public comments.	00:06:43
	Yes, Becky, Bernie and after Miss Burning will be a Mr. Ross.	00:06:48
	Good evening mayor, Mayor, Pro Tem, council, city staff, audience. I'm here on behalf of RO Guppy Outdoors Tonight. This Saturday	00:06:59
	we're having our rod building session from 12:50. If you have a fishing rod that you need repaired, bring it by and we'll show you	00:07:06
	how to do it.	00:07:14
	Thank you.	00:07:23
	Mr. Greg Ross.	00:07:26
	Good evening, long time resident of Ventura County since 19670.	00:07:37
	Thank you for listening, you have a hard job.	00:07:44
	And I for one, appreciate all of you.	00:07:47
	The city I've lived in, South Oxnard, Thousand Oaks.	00:07:52
	And this city, more than any other I've been in, is very responsive.	00:07:57
	Three nights ago or three days ago we had major graffiti at Market and Surfside.	00:08:03
	I called in, it was done within less than 24 hours and they finished.	00:08:09
	Fix the graffiti. Thank you. We had semi tractor trailer rig parked on market. Doesn't belong there. Sergeant Bates, Sergeant	00:08:14
	Frederica, thank you for being responsive. And they got it out of there.	00:08:21
	This is this is what I really love about this city. Now I want to talk about the port.	00:08:28
	You may have seen this, you may not have.	00:08:34
	This is their 10 year strategic plan.	00:08:37
	I'm going to start off with the most difficult issue, and that is the Page 27 on this strategic plan talks about the rail lines.	00:08:42
	Well, to my knowledge, the rail line running out of the South side, southeast side of the port.	00:08:53
	Is only used once a year for the Banana Festival.	00:09:01
	But they have bigger plans if you read this.	00:09:05
	And it's not something I know caveat emptor, buyer beware, but.	00:09:08
	This is going to disrupt the lives and I know some of you live.	00:09:16
	Out towards Surfside and I live in in a cap of view beach homes.	00:09:20
	But if this, this rail line, if they use it like they're saying they're going to, is really going to disrupt a lot of lives.	00:09:25
	And boy, I'll be the first one at the door to to get my voice heard about this because it's, it's just, it doesn't work for our	00:09:31
	community.	00:09:36
	Ports are a difficult topic.	00:09:42
	And you can see from here.	00:09:46
	How many different recently?	00:09:48
	Different.	00:09:52
	Journalists taking on the ports and the pollution they create. And if you look at all of the West Coast ports, we are by far and	00:09:55
	away the most close in proximity to this port right here.	00:10:02
	And their pollution, we have blacks, black carbon soot on our screens. It's a problem. Their pollution is, is is killing us. We,	00:10:10
	we've had 10 people just in our community die of cancer. Anyway, I, I gave you a little handout. The noise pollution is, is all	00:10:18
	the worse the truckers and the port doesn't respond.	00:10:26
	They are not our friend. They they're not good neighbors. Thanks for listening.	00:10:35
	Jan Burke and then Randall Thomas.	00:10:41
	If I could just mention, well, Jan's coming up that I know the port did recently implement that Bonnet project that they had done	00:10:46
	a presentation on. And so they had offered to come back and kind of talk about that when that was being implemented and kind of	00:10:53
	explain how it works. So that's something that we can request as a upcoming presentation item.	00:11:01
	Happy New Year Mayor, council staff.	00:11:10
	Neighbors.	00:11:15
	I'm going to talk about the port later, but I wanted to just mention that the Whiny Me HOA Coalition has had a number of meetings	00:11:17
	and that we are.	00:11:22
	Bringing to you today the focus that we want to embark on this year for 2025 with the collaboration of the Council and the staff.	00:11:29
	And there are three topics that are that have bubbled up.	00:11:38
	As items that we would like to collaborate on.	00:11:42
	One is public safety.	00:11:46
	Of course, that's an ongoing.	00:11:50
	Matter that we all are concerned about and we greatly appreciate as, as Greg had mentioned, the responsiveness of our Police	00:11:52
	Department. They're doing such a great job.	00:11:57
	In addition, we are going to embark on short term rentals.	00:12:03
	And we have Chairman's for each of these and I'll mention that in a minute. And the last would be the concerns about the Ports	00:12:09
	Master Plan and the growth, the anticipated growth and how that is going to impact or potentially could impact the quality of life	00:12:15
	of our community.	00:12:21
	So Paige Le Pen is here. She is our chair for the short term rentals.	00:12:27
	Randall Thomas is here. If you would both stand up, he is going to be the chair for the port and Mitch Disney. I don't think he is	00:12:33
	here, but Mitch Disney will be our chair for the public safety. He's the one that brought up the concerns about the the homeless	00:12:41
	and the Mandalay Bay Shopping Center.	00:12:48
	So anyway, those are the topics that we're going to come to you with and I believe that Paige has some public comments that she	00:12:57
	will be presenting and we will be back to you.	00:13:02
	Soon. Thank you. Thank you.	00:13:08
	Good evening Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council, city staff and everybody in attendance. I just want to elaborate a little bit	00:13:17
	more on the focus for the port. It's to inspire more collaboration, better and more open communication and conversations so that	00:13:25
	way people can properly get the information that the ports putting out, such as their 10 year strategic plan.	00:13:34
	What's actually going on when it comes to the green energy ideas and implementations that they want to focus on?	00:13:43
	And as well as making sure that we as a city and citizens can see how we can assist you in making sure that our voice is heard	00:13:49
	from the port itself to those poor commissioners and making sure that so you can get a fair deal. And we have a voice when	00:13:57
	conversations really do start happening and getting brought up. Thank you very much.	00:14:04
	Thank you.	00:14:13
	Now we have a written comments.	00:14:16
	The first is from Patti Page, Le Pen. She asked that I read this.	00:14:20
	Port Hueneme is a city of approximately 21,000 residents who are lucky enough to live in a community that still has a residential	00:14:24
	fill. Many of us are concerned that the unregulated conversion of homes to short term rentals will erode the residential fill and	00:14:31
	create an atmosphere like Motel 6. We would like the City Council to consider adding short term rentals to the agenda of a future	00:14:39
	meeting February 3rd. If possible, we also plan to have a town hall meeting to invite all Port Hueneme Res.	00:14:46
	To attend sometime in March if the schedule permits. We would love to have the meeting in the council room. A Redfin article on	00:14:54
	February 14th, 2024 by Lily Katz reported that real estate investors bought 26.1% of low price US homes that sold in the fourth	00:15:01
	quarter. In the past couple of years, several beach cities have experienced the negative consequences of Reit's buying properties	00:15:08
	purely as an investment.	00:15:15
	Investors interested only in maximizing profits are less interested in preserving the structures and communities of their	00:15:23
	investments. Port Hueneme is the only beach community in our area that does not have short term rental restrictions. The	00:15:30
	California Coastal Commission governs these issues. The HOAC Subcommittee on short Term rentals, the STR-SC of the HHOAC, will be	00:15:37
	posting updates on Facebook page HHOAC.	00:15:45
	This is a complicated issue and it will take some time for us to arrive at a plan that meets the needs of our city and our	00:15:53
	residents.	00:15:57
	If this council agrees that we should pursue this issue of City Manager may contact the California Coastal Commission by reaching	00:16:02
	out to Tyler Lydell, a Coastal programs analysts assigned to the City of Port Hueneme. We hope the HOA's and the City can work	00:16:08
	together to decrease the cost of enforcement for the City and the HOA's due to the Davis Sterling Act, HO as have many limitations	00:16:14
	before we can levy fines and the administrative costs of doing so are almost prohibitive. Thank you for your kind attention to	00:16:20
	this matter, Patty Page. Le Pen.	00:16:26
	AC Subcommittee for Short Term Rentals C Ventura County start December 5th, 2024 for additional details.	00:16:32
	The next public comment is from Mary Serrato. Hello, good evening. I am writing this e-mail regarding the council member who is	00:16:43
	trying to get rid of all the good things our city has gained these past two years as well as our for our city seems and feel safer	00:16:49
	than ever. There are a lot more youth involvement. My boys have benefited so much. I and my family are so very thankful for the	00:16:55
	new chief. He has shown care for our community. Our city of Port Hueneme has gained so much with new events and activities for	00:17:00
	youth.	00:17:06
	Family. I surely want to thank him from my family and myself. I feel that our city does need and want city councils who want and	00:17:12
	look for the best interests of our community. Community and city thank you. Here's my contact if needed.	00:17:18
	The next is from Dulce Satterfield. Comment by Miss Dulce Satterfield, a longtime resident of Port Whiny Mean.	00:17:28
	Greetings Mayor McQueen Lashawn and all council members. I'm voicing support for goals identified by Patti Paige Lepen in her	00:17:36
	commentary about short term rentals or STR's, while Miss Lapence talking points reflect the solidarity of a whiny HOA Coalition	00:17:43
	committee. I speak as a family on the wall witnessing repeated pushes by real estate agents to present condominium units close to	00:17:51
	the beach as golden opportunities for stores. I encourage you to address stores as you update your local coastal plan.	00:17:58
	Coordinate with other relevant matters. Please consider lodging, licensing and taxation, and prudent levels of inspection and	00:18:06
	enforcement oversight.	00:18:10
	You can find examples along our coasts of what other municipalities are succeeding with or aiming to improve with regard to STR	00:18:14
	regulation.	00:18:18
	I've looked as far away as Port Angeles, WA, a waterfront city slightly less populated than ours. It's a gateway to attractions	00:18:22
	such as Olympic National Park plus the Black Ball Ferry to Victoria, BC. Port Angeles considered capping total STR's not to exceed	00:18:30
	a certain percentage of housing stock. The vote turned out 4342 percent cap. Although lower cap was initially favored, elected	00:18:37
	officials did not choose an option. Their staff recommended robust public.	00:18:45
	Input helped those officials to find the best way forward in 2024.	00:18:52
	A like a city like Port Angeles is not subject to the policies and processes of a coastal Commission like Port Hueneme is with	00:18:57
	regard to lodging and accessibility. I ask that you not delay in facing STR issues now impacting our community. Those issues	00:19:03
	aren't going away by themselves.	00:19:08
	And I have one final comment from Jeffrey Scarberry.	00:19:16
	My comment is regarding part of the last meeting in December. Apparently a majority group did not want Mr. Gama to be Mayor Pro	00:19:20
	Tem even though he has served on the council for six years. I think the public deserve to hear clear explanation as to why that	00:19:26
	was the case. Those on the Dyess who did not support Miss Hernandez for Mayor Pro Tem appropriately stated their reasoning as a	00:19:32
	process played out. It appeared there may have been some prior discussion by at least a couple of members on that item, which is	00:19:38
	unfortunate as we enter.	00:19:44
	New year, hopefully everyone will work together and be nice. We'll keep being the best interests of the city and its people, the	00:19:50
	number one priority.	00:19:53
	Thank you, Jeffrey Scarberry. And that concludes public comment.	00:19:57
	Thank you, Madam Clerk.	00:20:01
	We'll move to the agenda approval. May I have a motion and a second?	00:20:03
	So moved second.	00:20:10
	Thank you, Madam Clerk. All in favor.	00:20:12
	All opposed.	00:20:16
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:20:18
	Do any members of the Council have any conflicts of interest to disclose for any item on the agenda?	00:20:22
	No, thank you.	00:20:29
	And we'll move on to our presentations.	00:20:32
	1st, we have a recognition in honor of the police chaplain.	00:20:36
	City Manager.	00:20:40
	Thank you. And I'm going to hand it over to Chief Federico, who will.	00:20:42
	Present the recognition of police chaplain Merrick Carter.	00:20:48
	Good evening everyone. We are here tonight to recognize and honor the 25 years of service that.	00:20:53
	Police chaplain Mayor Carter has devoted to our city. Mayor come up, stand next to me. So be all embarrassed and stuff standing	00:21:00
	next to me.	00:21:04
	He's he's not embarrassed. You all think I talk too much like you get the two of us together and there's a lot of talking.	00:21:13
	So Merrick served 25 years of volunteer police chaplain for the the Police Department. But he's one of the people that was here	00:21:21
	when I left over 20 years ago to Santa Monica. And I came back, came home in 2023, and he was still here. So thank you. We used to	00:21:28
	ride with me. We would go to Uncle Hers back when that existed. Yeah.	00:21:36
	That was a favorite breakfast spot for him.	00:21:45
	As our our.	00:21:48
	Police Chaplain. His duties included riding along with officers on routine patrol on various shifts, accompanying police officers	00:21:50
	to assist with notifications of any suicide, death or serious injury.	00:21:56
	This included crisis situations where chaplain was needed in our community.	00:22:02
	I provided counseling within the Police Department, response to stress or family crisis problems visited with sick or injured	00:22:07
	members of the department in their home or the hospital.	00:22:12
	He offered prayers and invocations at special occasions such as explore graduations and various ceremonies.	00:22:20
	He provided practical assistance to victims in the community when needed.	00:22:27
	And he'd pick up the phone 24/7 when we needed him.	00:22:31
	While doing this, he was busy with his day job and other activities. Merrick's currently the character development specialist	00:22:37
	coach for Ventura College football team. He also served as the senior pastor at the Pacific Coast Ministries.	00:22:44
	He received his BA and MA and Biblical studies and his pH D in pastoral theology.	00:22:51
	He and his lovely wife Arlene, I have three daughters and seven wonderful grandchildren. Folks departing from his duties here with	00:22:56
	us will give him more time to spend with family and with his other duties. The man is a very busy life and.	00:23:04
	Lots of things are calling him so.	00:23:14
	With that, I want to thank Chaplain Mary Carter for his 25 years of volunteer service to our Police Department and to our	00:23:16
	community.	00:23:20
	Thank you.	00:23:23
	Let's take a.	00:23:28
	Picture up here they.	00:23:29
	And this is to Chaplain Mayor Carter in recognition of your achievements, contributions and dedicated service to the community.	00:23:31
	Let's go off. Take a picture.	00:23:39
	Chief, I think he was also part of the Salvation Army when he and some of our officers went to 911 as well. So you were you were	00:23:44
	the reason why that happened, I believe.	00:23:49
	You never give a preacher a mic, but.	00:23:56
	I want to thank all of you guys for coming out, especially my church members. I love you. I appreciate it all the officers.	00:24:02
	You guys mean so much to me the.	00:24:07
	Mayor, councilmembers, staff, thank you all so much. Chief Mike Federico, we really appreciate you. And it's been a, it's been a	00:24:11
	long time, a lot of years. I've seen a lot of changes happen through the years and it's been a blessing. But I have to say this.	00:24:19
	I really support the the Police Department. These men and women go through a lot.	00:24:28
	They really do their things that I've seen.	00:24:32
	That I, you know, in a small community like this, you never thought would think some of the things that go on that go on and these	00:24:36
	men and women have to deal with that day in and day out. So I will always support them. And I made it emphatically clear to the	00:24:42
	chief that whatever they need me is something special. And they don't have any other anybody else to come out. They need a pastor	00:24:48
	to come out and talk. I'm always available for you and.	00:24:54
	So that's that's about all I have to say. So thank you all so much. God bless you.	00:25:01
	I could stand on a chair.	00:25:18
	And here's your wife up there.	00:25:26
	And you know what? I almost forgot.	00:25:39
	Thank Arlene, my wife.	00:25:44
	On my side the whole time.	00:25:52
	Times I'll get cold, 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning going out. She was there and she's always been supportive. And I thank God for	00:25:54
	the Bible says when you have a good woman, you got a good thing.	00:25:59
	Thank you so much.	00:26:06
	OK.	00:26:19
	Thank you so much.	00:26:28
	While he's taking his seat, did anyone have any words? Yes, Council.	00:26:34
	Perez, Chaplain Carter, I know you and my husband go way back.	00:26:38
	So I'm just going to say on his behalf, he could not be here. Sergeant Perez, I'm sure he's would. Thank you for all the	00:26:42
	dedication you did for the city, for him.	00:26:46
	I know you're there for him through his own trials, and so thank you for your service to the city and we wish you luck whatever	00:26:51
	you do.	00:26:55
	I don't know if the Bible says when you got a good pastor, you got a good pastor.	00:27:02
	But I sure hope it says that. And the thing I find most impressive about you is he stayed behind the scenes and, and you knew when	00:27:07
	you're needed and you knew that the work that our officers do is very difficult. And there's times where even the toughest of the	00:27:14
	toughest knee to shoulder to to confide in and knowing that you've been there on those dark nights.	00:27:21
	Terrific events that really makes us, me and I'm sure everyone else feel good about the mental well-being of our officers because	00:27:29
	we know it's very difficult, the scenarios, the scenes and the travesty of society that you have to deal with. And so thank you so	00:27:37
	much for being there for our officers and making their mental health a priority. Thank you.	00:27:45
	Pastor, thank you so much for your service to our city. 25 years ago we responded to the crash of Alaska 261 and the chaplain	00:27:57
	program was so instrumental in helping the victims, family members of that crash, the first responders who had to respond to	00:28:04
	horrific scenes out in the ocean and here on on the military base. So thank you so much for your service and all you've done for	00:28:10
	our city.	00:28:17
	Yes, thank you for your 25 years of dedicated service. That is outstanding. I understand chaplain duties as Navy's Navy has their	00:28:26
	own chaplains as well and it's and they're always called it the most critical times. So thank you for your service.	00:28:34
	And thank you for your service, but I'd like to say thank you to your wife as a as a PK, I understand what it is when your spouse	00:28:43
	has to go and take care of other people all the time. And so thank you for your service as well and your family service.	00:28:52
	All right. All right, we'll move on to the next presentation.	00:29:03
	Chief Frederico, yes, thank you. And so the next presentation will be presented by Chief Federico.	00:29:08
	Regarding what we're calling our second phase of developing our culture of Wellness within the Police Department.	00:29:14
	Good evening again everyone.	00:29:34
	Umm, for if you remember, part of the five focus areas I had was employee Wellness and employee Wellness as a priority.	00:29:36
	And even.	00:29:49
	To that note, we as a team put together our vision, mission and values last year and in the values, we are one of the unique	00:29:51
	police departments that amongst our values of respect, integrity, compassion, courage, we also listed employee enrichment and	00:29:57
	Wellness.	00:30:02
	And our definition for that is empowering and motivating employees to grow in a team where none of us are smarter than all of us	00:30:09
	in empowering employees to achieve their best possible health and morale.	00:30:14
	So peer support.	00:30:24
	We were blessed to have a chaplain program in this department for many years, but missing from a a true Wellness campaign within	00:30:27
	the department was a a dedicated peer support team.	00:30:32
	The history and peer support in private industries.	00:30:39
	You will find some in hospitals and trauma centers.	00:30:44
	But history of peer support and law enforcement and fire and other public safety agencies really took off about 20 years ago.	00:30:46
	I think the first time I sat in a stress debrief was in this room after the Alaska Airlines crash.	00:30:53
	And we came together as an organization and brought in a new peer support team in the county, which was Ventura PDS at the time.	00:31:00
	It was a very powerful stress debrief. And that was my first opening to this, this thing called peer support and stress debriefs.	00:31:06
	And so then I went to Santa Monica PD where there was a a well established peer support team. And I had the ability, I got	00:31:12
	recruited onto that team quickly getting there. And then I LED that team for most of my 20 years down there. We became a	00:31:18
	nationally recognized.	00:31:24
	Peer support team. So I knew when I came home here one thing I wanted to implement was a strong peer support team and Wellness	00:31:30
	campaign.	00:31:33
	So that is our history. We had not had one other than our our chaplain support and we did have uses of a contracted psychologist	00:31:38
	to provide services within the department that we contracted with. So.	00:31:47
	Two things we had to do, we had to develop a policy because in the state in recent years we got confidentiality for those	00:31:56
	employees that are peer supporters.	00:32:00
	And we had to make sure we had a policy in place to support the program, support the confidentiality, support the work and the	00:32:05
	efforts of the peer supporters and that people understand what it's there for.	00:32:11
	So the department shows its first two peer supporters and I put it out to the their peers to choose who it was. It just to give	00:32:17
	you an idea of the culture of the organization.	00:32:23
	They picked 2 tenured employees.	00:32:30
	That were also supervisors and that's not normal, but that's what the team chose and they had chose.	00:32:33
	Rokey Lopez Junior and Balthazar Tapia, two people that were looked at as Big Brothers in the organization.	00:32:41
	And that's who the majority chose to be their peer supporters.	00:32:47
	So we put them through a lot of training and we went through a lot this year.	00:32:52
	Going back to what we were facing in the community with storms, to the death of an employee, to some other crisis within the	00:32:58
	department, and they stepped up and they stepped up every time.	00:33:05
	So we contracted.	00:33:16
	Again, we had an outside psychologist that we had allowed folks to go see for services, but I ramped that up. I brought in one of	00:33:18
	the best in the nation and it's the counseling team international. And one thing they offer is confidential sessions. And it is	00:33:24
	being used by your employees. And these sessions are for them and their family members to get through any family crisis or work	00:33:30
	traumas that they're trying to process and deal with. Because folks, if we want compassionate, respectful police employees on the	00:33:36
	streets.	00:33:42
	We have to make sure that we treat everything they see and do to this abnormal job because their their responses as human beings	00:33:48
	is very normal.	00:33:53
	But it's an abnormal job, so they're going to have traumas and we're going to have things that we need to bring to the surface.	00:34:00
	And some folks will need some sessions and some folks.	00:34:05
	Will need just open on site discussions and debriefs.	00:34:10
	So bringing.	00:34:16
	The confidential sessions, they can contact TCI themselves or they can go through their peer supporters.	00:34:18
	And we have a great confidential program with them that funds it at a minimal cost, however.	00:34:24
	We don't know who's seeing who for what, and that's what keeps it confidential. If you want your employees to come forward,	00:34:31
	especially in a law enforcement culture, you got to keep it confidential.	00:34:36
	So on site critical stress debriefs, we've already utilized that too with TCI. We've had some difficult incidents, difficult	00:34:41
	incidents involving children, difficult incidents involving death.	00:34:47
	We can bring in a therapist or psychologist from TCI and they will do an on site debrief with our folks, bring them into a room	00:34:54
	and allow them to open up and talk about it. so-called processing our traumas. So if we process these traumas they don't.	00:35:00
	Linger on us and make us the crusty copper on the street that you don't want to see.	00:35:07
	This is how we process. We get things out and we do it as a, as a team, as a, as a PD family.	00:35:13
	It also tends to bring your teams together.	00:35:19
	Supervisor management consultation, Anyone of us, supervisors, managers can call if we have an employee that we think is	00:35:22
	struggling with something or they're performing great and now they're not. And is it because there's something going on at home or	00:35:27
	they're looking at the job differently or they had a issue with something in the field that they're not processing and we can	00:35:32
	contact them and get some guidance?	00:35:38
	And these things are available 24/7 and then the trainings we can send it to, mindfulness training we can send them to.	00:35:44
	Literally breathing training there is our peer supporters go to a lot, but we have some available for our employees. We are	00:35:52
	looking at things like mobility training.	00:35:56
	So some of the things we did internally to change our environment in addition to bringing TCI and peer support was we	00:36:04
	communications centers, regardless of how busy they are, there are times of the day where they they have that spontaneousness to	00:36:12
	be busy and it's very stressful. So we realize how we move patrol to cover the busy times where the highest volume of calls are in	00:36:19
	order to be an effective response for the community. We also realize we.	00:36:27
	Look at the Dispatch Communication Center to make sure that we are adding staffing where it needs to be so one person isn't having	00:36:35
	the majority of stressful day because one or two people are trying to juggle the most critical points. But we can move some	00:36:40
	staffing around, which we did, to allow folks to get up and walk around in the room, take a break, step out, especially after a	00:36:46
	difficult call.	00:36:52
	We've done a lot of things in the environment. We did not. That's a small station, and it's 50 years old. And after the remodels,	00:36:59
	after the floods, we weren't sure we were ever going to get the gym back that they had many years ago. So we have a lot of needs	00:37:04
	in the new world of law enforcement and technology. And you keep building out a small space. But we pulled it off. We, we, we	00:37:10
	crammed in a small gym.	00:37:15
	And we have some great grant money from the state to spend on just that, employee Wellness.	00:37:22
	So we're buying a Great Wall mounted fitness machine that the team picked out themselves, they researched and then we're also	00:37:27
	going to go to good treadmill with a TV in front of them. So even if a dispatcher wants to take their break and go relieve some	00:37:32
	stress on a treadmill while somebody else is covering the the shift and they take their break, they can do it. And the gym is	00:37:37
	great for those that want to come into work early before traffic and they work out and they jump in the shower and then they go,	00:37:41
	they go.	00:37:46
	In the field to protect you all. However, some of them love to de stress immediately after work.	00:37:52
	Before they go home with their families and they hit that machine and they get all the stress out and they take a shower and they	00:37:59
	drive home and they're great when they walk in the door. So there's a lot of reasons to make sure we have one available for them	00:38:03
	and that it's well equipped and fortunately we have some grant money to spend on that.	00:38:08
	If you also notice that.	00:38:15
	We're almost finished out building out the station after the remodel, after the floods and everything.	00:38:18
	And it is a very, it's a good ergonomic workspace. It's a very open workspace. It's a very friendly environment. Something that I	00:38:22
	learned from Chief Jackie Seabrooks down at Santa Monica was.	00:38:28
	She pointed out to us that we can no longer just accept that a building's 50 years old and you walk in and you got to use duct	00:38:34
	tape to fix patches and stuff.	00:38:38
	If you want people to be comfortable in their workplace, you've got to invest in that workplace. And so we have very comfortable,	00:38:44
	sensible, sensible expenditures, but we've made it comfortable and open workspace.	00:38:50
	Our next steps on our Wellness as we've spent this past year building all the things I just told you, we're going to go into some	00:38:59
	monthly campaigns and that's usually after the holidays, it's a good time to start the nutrition campaign. So like for example,	00:39:04
	for for February.	00:39:09
	All of us can't. We'll be able to present through the campaign, through the month to each other. Who's got some of the best	00:39:15
	nutrition ideas, whether it's the Mediterranean diet, which is taken off right now, whether it's us intermittent fasters, whether	00:39:22
	it's the keto folks, there's, there's all kinds of things out there. And the way I changed my diet and everything was from a	00:39:29
	Wellness program of my former agency. And I started to listen and I got to pick whose was the best and what worked for me.	00:39:35
	Fitness. Now we're going to get that gym up and running, get that equipment and there'll be some fitness challenges.	00:39:43
	And it's it can always be a fun competitive nature, but we might have some fitness challenges amongst the team, but we're going to	00:39:47
	push some great exercises. It doesn't have to be what I call the cult of CrossFit. Honestly, it's like, it's really like this is a	00:39:53
	whole group of people that are everything CrossFit and that's how they live. Well, it doesn't necessarily work for me. I prefer	00:39:59
	the old school method of of.	00:40:05
	Rotating through my machines.	00:40:12
	Timed matter and if you have something that works for you, maybe talk to somebody else about it and get them on your routine. So	00:40:14
	mobility and ergonomics, I've seen great success in mobility training in employees. Every city should look at it for not just	00:40:20
	their police employees, but public works or anybody else. There's a lot of good mobility training out there. I've taken some very	00:40:26
	tenured police officers in my past practices and showing them how they can lay on a mat with a good teacher and show them how a	00:40:32
	tennis ball on the ground.	00:40:38
	Can change their life, Maybe we reduce some of those injuries and reduce some of the strain that we get as we get older carrying	00:40:44
	all the equipment.	00:40:48
	Breathing.	00:41:23
	Is very powerful in trying to teach our folks not just breathing in a stressful situation to control your actions, but just	00:41:25
	lowering your blood pressure at night just at at several times of the day work on some mindfulness breathing. Then there's a whole	00:41:31
	there's several other categories of mindfulness on on.	00:41:37
	What how we spend our days, what we're taking in through our eyes goes back to our nutrition. But there's all kinds of realms that	00:41:45
	we're going to introduce our folks to see what they might take a opportunity to to look into and then as much stress relief as we	00:41:52
	can. And I do plan to send our folks to some.	00:41:59
	Some of our.	00:42:07
	Stress relief, some team building workshops and stuff and some of those will will build out also some stress relief so.	00:42:08
	Understand this has been something we've worked at since I arrived, We've built out a lot, but there's more work to do which will	00:42:19
	be these campaigns over this next year.	00:42:25
	And then thanks to all the support in the city.	00:42:31
	Unofficially, we have a therapy dog in the station and anybody just got the belly rub this guy on the streets or when you run into	00:42:36
	him, he is a true hugger and he immediately reduced the stress when you bring him into dispatch so.	00:42:43
	There's there's a lot.	00:42:51
	There's a lot more to do and we're enjoying it, but honestly, we didn't realize this guy would have the impact that he does in the	00:42:53
	station and in the community with how much love he gives, so that's been great.	00:42:59
	City manager or anything?	00:43:06
	Add to that one.	00:43:07
	All right, folks. Thank you. Questions, any questions?	00:43:10
	All right, folks. Thank you.	00:43:15
	Do you have a question? Hold on just a minute. Really appreciate the risk management 101, identifying, you know, mental health as	00:43:17
	being a key component of a good police force. And then all the things that you're doing, you identified, you're bringing	00:43:23
	resources, and you're not just telling people to suck it up, you know? And yeah, no more of that, right? We're all human. We all	00:43:28
	get affected by these abnormal things. I mean, just for me, reading about some of the things that our police encounters, like	00:43:34
	quite difficult.	00:43:40
	And then one question, is that machine available for council stress?	00:43:47
	No, I think risk management said no.	00:43:52
	Back me up on it.	00:43:55
	Thank you very much. Appreciate. Thank you, Councilmember Hernandez. Thank you, ma'am.	00:43:57
	Thank you, Chief, for your presentation. I noticed that the title of this presentation was the second phase of developing culture	00:44:02
	of Wellness within the Police Department. The first phase was at your peer.	00:44:07
	Your peer employees and then the counseling team that was part of that, too.	00:44:15
	OK. Is there going to be a Phase 3A phase four? Well, it's just where do you want it to take this Wellness program?	00:44:19
	What's your future ideas for that? The vision of the department will be set by the department as we get through that second phase.	00:44:27
	So if they see something else, they want to bring a board. It would be an easy sell to me, but I think once we get through these	00:44:32
	campaigns, they're going to see a lot of what's best practice out there right now. Thank you.	00:44:38
	Go ahead, Mayor project.	00:44:44
	Chief, thank you for your presentation. I do have a question, the peer-to-peer counseling.	00:44:47
	How many officers have actually?	00:44:54
	Participated in that is it's been active yeah several. So we maintain the confidentiality. So I won't give I can't give you an	00:44:57
	exact numbers nor can I give anybody exact topics that were helped through but I can say it has been utilized I mean.	00:45:06
	Some of the officers, if you get to talk to them one-on-one, may open up and tell you how in the first month of implementation, I	00:45:18
	mean the first month, not even like 3 weeks, we did. We did some pretty serious intervention to help folks out and they are a year	00:45:24
	later very healthy, happy.	00:45:29
	Peace officers in your community being compassionate, respectful. We needed some TLC when we had a dispatcher die of cancer we	00:45:36
	lost Ivan and that affect the department greatly and we you know we are one of those high stress injuries where we will always	00:45:45
	home issues will surface whether it's it's your teenage child who.	00:45:53
	Goes to school one day and they find out that their parents, a police officer and then their friends tell them while your dad's or	00:46:03
	mom is the devil.	00:46:06
	Position to be a police officer, which was a huge slap in the face to this industry several years ago, especially when you're	00:46:10
	being compared to something that's happening thousands of miles away. So how do you help that family dynamic heal so this person	00:46:16
	go St. and help people and we have specialists at TCI that deal with children of public safety employees that can come in and go	00:46:23
	identify what's going on and this may be what's causing it.	00:46:29
	We might have somebody that.	00:46:37
	Was married before they got into law enforcement and then we changed. As everybody says, we change. And so we want that marriage	00:46:41
	to last through this career. So they might have needed somebody that specializes in public safety marriages to help them say this	00:46:47
	is how your spouse has changed, but this is what you can do when they get home. There's a whole routine for them. There's a lot of	00:46:53
	tools to use, a lot of tools you can use to make things work when you think this person's changed too much and it's beyond a	00:46:58
	marriage and it's not.	00:47:04
	So and there's just there is always an occasion where we've just seen too much I.	00:47:10
	I will tell you, I didn't have the peer support and stress debriefs is my first ten years as a peace officer here, but I had a lot	00:47:17
	of it at Santa Monica. So I could tell you going back 10 years, so 20 something years on in the job, I'm a field supervisor and	00:47:23
	I'm hearing the drowning baby call come in. It's not one that I had gone to in recent years. It's the ones from the beginning of	00:47:29
	my career that never got processed. We never got help for. We didn't, we didn't open up, we didn't talk about it. Those are the	00:47:35
	ones that come.	00:47:41
	And they're sitting in the back of your brain. But all the other ones that we went to a street, a stress debrief about or we	00:47:47
	talked to a therapist about and they they talked to you about processing it and we made it go away. It's gone. We don't just want	00:47:52
	our folks.	00:47:57
	To survive this career and get to retirement. We want them to thrive in this career and get to retirement.	00:48:02
	You know, it's so there's there's been help there. So but we maintain that confidentiality respectfully, no, it sounds very	00:48:11
	positive. Thank you.	00:48:16
	Yeah. Thank you, Chief. I did have one question and you mentioned the confidentiality, understand that. But in a lot of programs	00:48:21
	there is a level to where it becomes so that it's not confidential anymore, right. So we got a law passed several years ago in the	00:48:29
	state that provides, it's not the full privilege communication that you would have with clergy or lawyer or doctor.	00:48:37
	But there is limited confidentiality. So those matters that become criminal in nature, you begin to lose some of that. So	00:48:45
	obviously that would be.	00:48:48
	Be something that that comes up. But yes, there is some limitation, however, with the psychologist who that's just what the peers	00:48:52
	of orders, but they do have doctors and psychologists that they that they can speak to as well. Thank you. Any other questions?	00:48:59
	If not, thank you so much. Thank you folks.	00:49:07
	We're going to move to our third presentation, City Manager.	00:49:11
	And the third presentation is a proclamation for Martin Luther King Junior Day, and I believe Mayor Pro Tem Lopez is going to	00:49:17
	actually read the proclamation. And then after he does that, I wanted to just kind of give an invitation for the event in Oxnard.	00:49:24
	So we will start with the proclamation.	00:49:32
	So this is the proclamation.	00:49:41
	Martha Martin Luther King Junior Day, whereas on January 15th, 1929, revered.	00:49:43
	Doctor Martin Luther King Junior was born in Atlanta, GA And whereas Doctor King was a transformational leader of the American	00:49:49
	Civil Rights movement and one of the most influential, influential orators for peace, equality and human rights in the world	00:49:56
	history. And. WHEREAS Doctor King is remembered for dedicating his life in an unyielding faith and passion for justice, racial	00:50:03
	harmony by championing the principles this nation was built upon.	00:50:10
	And a strong commitment to his beliefs of freedom, equality, and justice for all. And whereas Doctor King envisioned a society	00:50:17
	where individuals were not judged by the color of their skin, but by the content content of their character. And where whereas	00:50:23
	Doctor King sacrificed his life.	00:50:29
	To spread a message of universal equality and justice that was displayed on by his efforts to in racial segregation and	00:50:36
	discrimination through civil rights disobedience.	00:50:41
	And other nonviolent means.	00:50:46
	Such as heroic leadership in the 1955 Montgomery.	00:50:49
	Bus Boycott. The 195057 Southern Christian Leadership Conference.	00:50:55
	The 1963 March on Washington and the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965 and whereas Doctor King.	00:51:01
	Words continue to resonate with the world today by reminding us of the imperative to continue the fight for justice, equality, no	00:51:11
	matter the opposition. Because the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moment of comfort and the convenience,	00:51:16
	but where he stands at times of challenges and controversy. And whereas people throughout the world continue to be inspired by	00:51:22
	Doctor King's vision and words.	00:51:28
	His strength of character and compassion and his model for peace demonstrates and dialogue and whereas in 1983.	00:51:35
	Doctor King became the first private citizen to be honored with the federal holiday, not just to celebrate his memory, but also to	00:51:42
	preserve his legacy, one that calls upon us all to exercise our moral authority, stand up against injustice, and protect our most	00:51:50
	sacred tenet of democracy. Now, therefore, be a proclaimed that the City Council of the City of Port Hueneme does hereby proclaim	00:51:57
	January 20th, 2025.	00:52:05
	As the doctor Martin Luther King Junior.	00:52:12
	Thank you. And we, we actually had invited the Martin Luther King Junior Committee of Ventura County to attend today and invite	00:52:21
	the, the, our community to the event. But they actually are meeting right now coordinating this event. So we had a little bit of a	00:52:27
	timing snafu, but so they're working hard on this event. But we told them that we'd still get the word out and we'd still invite	00:52:33
	our community to participate.	00:52:40
	And so we have it up on the screen. It is Monday, January 20th. Starting at 8:00 AM there's the Freedom March from Plaza Park at	00:52:47
	5th and C St. in Oxnard that will March to the Oxnard Performing Arts Center. And then at 9:00 AM there's the observance program	00:52:54
	that is going to occur at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center with keynote speaker James Joyce. The 3rd and the sorority speech	00:53:02
	contest winner Sebastian Kempton will be at the observation. I'm.	00:53:09
	Observance program and so the committee made sure they let us know, invite everybody to this event Monday, January 20th, 8:00 AM	00:53:17
	March and 9:00 AM program. So everybody's invited and we'll we'll try to figure out a few other ways to get that information out	00:53:25
	to anybody who maybe hasn't heard about it or isn't watching the meeting, but and we'll present our proclamation to the.	00:53:33
	Committee.	00:53:42
	Between now and then, so.	00:53:44
	Thank you. Thank you, Councilmember Comma.	00:53:46
	Yeah, just over the last several years I've spent Martin Luther King Holiday in Ohio with the Ohio Youth Foundation, and I think	00:53:50
	I'm probably going to be out there again this year. And it's a it's a wonderful.	00:53:56
	A day I just want to make mention that if you don't see me at our event know that I'm with the kids of Ohio. We've developed a	00:54:05
	relationship and the theme out there in Ohio is vitality in community and the quote of Doctor King is marching forward together	00:54:11
	and so I find.	00:54:17
	Wanami beach cleanup.	00:54:26
	Introduced me to these kids and we've had a relationship now for I think four or five years. But it's just wonderful to to to	00:54:28
	participate in any venue where you're focusing on the message and the attitudes and where we are today. And it's hard to to	00:54:36
	believe that when I was born in 1963 that there was considerable.	00:54:43
	Discrimination still occurring in our country and so I'm so proud of the fact of where we are today.	00:54:53
	And how we have look at our diverse group up here and then being able to reach out in the community and participate in.	00:54:59
	In the messaging and the vision of MLK, which should be the vision of all of us. And I believe it is. And I think we're making	00:55:09
	great progress. And I love being a part of this country in this community. So thank you, Doctor Martin Luther King.	00:55:16
	Thank you. And if I may, I'm going to put in a shameless plug for the There's a Speech Expo winner from the Oxnard elementary	00:55:25
	schools who competed at his school and won first place, then competed against twenty other elementary schools and he is the	00:55:33
	winner. So he will be the guest. He's not the guest speaker, but he will be doing his.	00:55:41
	His speech from the speech Expo on that day, so you really don't want to miss that.	00:55:50
	Thank you.	00:55:56
	OK. So we're going to move on to the consent calendar. We will now consider items on the consent calendar, which will be enacted	00:55:57
	in one motion unless Council member has a request to remove an item.	00:56:03
	May I have a motion and a second to approve no item? Thank you Second.	00:56:11
	Thank you.	00:56:16
	Madam Clerk, all in favor? Aye, all opposed.	00:56:20
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:56:25
	Thank you.	00:56:28
	And we will now move on to public. Oh, there's no public hearing.	00:56:32
	Business items.	00:56:39
	Yes, and.	00:56:42
	Deputy City Manager Charles Perez will be presenting the first business item which is related to the City's entry into the Clean	00:56:44
	Power Alliance. And at this point, we have a couple of decisions that the City Council will be making as the last step to enter	00:56:52
	the Clean Power Alliance. So I'll let Mr. Pretz present from there.	00:57:00
	Thank you, City Manager. Good evening, mayor, council members, members of the public.	00:57:10
	As a city manager indicated, agenda item number 8 pertains to the Council selection of a default energy rate with the Clean Power	00:57:16
	Alliance and the designation of a city representative and alternate to serve on the Clean Power Alliance Board of Directors.	00:57:23
	The report includes 3 recommendations for the Council to consider. The first is the recommendation that the Council select the	00:57:33
	Clean Power tier as the default tier for electricity consumers in Port Hueneme.	00:57:39
	The Clean Power Tier utilizes 50% renewable energy sources and offers rates.	00:57:45
	That are comparable to SCE's current rates.	00:57:51
	Rates for energy supplied to streetlights are calculated differently.	00:57:55
	And would increase the city's costs significantly. As such, staff is recommending that streetlight accounts remain serviced by	00:57:59
	SCE.	00:58:03
	Lastly, the recommendation includes the council discuss and take action to appoint a council member that would serve as the city's	00:58:09
	representative on the CPA's board of directors.	00:58:14
	And as well appoint an alternate that would serve in the representatives absence. The alternate may be another council member, a	00:58:20
	member of the public, or member of city staff.	00:58:24
	By way of quick background, March 20th, 2023 the city received a presentation from the Clean Power Alliance.	00:58:32
	And subsequently, the council authorized staff to move forward with a feasibility study to assess the city's ability to join CPA.	00:58:42
	In November of that year, the city adopted an ordinance regarding its intent to join CPA's.	00:58:51
	Joint Powers Agreement and the CPA subsequently held a public hearing to authorize the city's inclusion.	00:58:57
	In March of 2024, the Public Utilities Commission certified that action, allowing Port Hueneme to begin receiving service from the	00:59:04
	Clean Power Alliance. October 2025.	00:59:09
	The Clean Power Alliance offers three different renewable energy tiers. While they each have different price points and amounts of	00:59:18
	renewable energy, all three offer more renewable energy than Southern California Edison.	00:59:24
	The Clean Power tier, which is the tier being recommended by staff.	00:59:31
	Provides energy from 50% renewable energy sources and is offered at the same rate that SCE.	00:59:36
	Offers.	00:59:43
	As noted earlier, rates for streetlights are calculated differently, and in order to avoid adverse impacts to the city's budget,	00:59:44
	staff is recommending that those accounts remain with SCE.	00:59:49
	A key component of the transition to the Clean Power Alliance is public outreach and education.	00:59:58
	The Public Utilities Commission requires that the Clean Power Alliance send 4 written notices to impacted customers to before the	01:00:04
	transition and to after the transition.	01:00:09
	In addition to that requirement, the city intends to work with CPA to utilize various city resources to help spread the word.	01:00:14
	This includes use of the city's website, Facebook and Instagram accounts, the monthly newsletter, Flyers at public counters at	01:00:22
	City Hall and the Community Center.	01:00:26
	Utility bill inserts and training front desk staff to answer questions and educate the public.	01:00:32
	Additionally, the city will coordinate a meeting.	01:00:39
	To be held at Wanami Bay and at least one other community meeting to help educate residents and answer questions they may have.	01:00:42
	One of the benefits of joining the Clean Power Alliance is local control. Each of the participating agencies is allowed to have a	01:00:53
	designated representative on the board of directors.	01:00:58
	The board of directors considers rates.	01:01:04
	Energy procurement and customer programs.	01:01:07
	Board meetings are held every 1st Thursday of the month at 2:00 PM and board members.	01:01:11
	Have the option of participating either in person or virtually at one of four identified locations. The one that's closest to Port	01:01:17
	Hueneme would be the Ventura County Hall of Administration.	01:01:22
	That provides the overview of the staff presentation. We do have representatives from the Clean Power Alliance in attendance. We	01:01:29
	have one physically here and two on Zoom that may be able to answer specific questions the council may have.	01:01:35
	Does council have any questions for staff?	01:01:43
	Councilmember.	01:01:47
	Yeah, I'm not an electrical engineer and I certainly don't know everything, but.	01:01:48
	This is a.	01:01:58
	Really nebulous concept and.	01:01:59
	I'm having buyer's remorse because I don't understand. I understand transmission, I understand batteries, but.	01:02:03
	Are we in the short term, are we OK? But in the long term, when demand increases and the needs for more electricity is upon us,	01:02:13
	are we going to be able to meet that need? And I'm looking at the clean energy representative.	01:02:21
	So we do have Gina Goodhill here from the CPA and Gina, if you are the person to best answer that question, we'd ask you to come	01:02:34
	up. We also have Ted Bernanke and Karen Schmidt on Zoom. So if they're the best people to answer that question, we'd ask that one	01:02:42
	of them. So in follow up to what I just said. So my concern is that as time moves forward that we're locking residents into.	01:02:50
	A higher price for energy down the road and and I'm just wondering if you could help us.	01:03:00
	Understand because my understanding is the transmission lines are going to be the same.	01:03:05
	It's just a matter of where you get in the electricity from and.	01:03:11
	Could there be a time in the future where demand outstrips supply?	01:03:16
	Come up to the microphone.	01:03:26
	Please.	01:03:28
	I was going to say, Councilmember, I'm happy to answer that question, but I will note that our CEO is on the Zoom, so he may be a.	01:03:30
	The best person here to answer that, so I'll let him take that.	01:03:38
	Hi, good evening, Councilman. Can you hear me? Yes, thank you.	01:03:44
	Oh great. So yes, so reliability and and demand is governed by.	01:03:48
	A law in California called resource adequacy. We at Clean Power Alliance are subject to exactly the same rules and regulations	01:03:56
	around reliability and meeting demand as Southern California Edison is. We've met every resource adequacy requirement in the month	01:04:04
	and have never had a problem meeting.	01:04:12
	Meeting demand, our rates have been and remain competitive.	01:04:20
	So I, you know, I'm, I'm pretty pleased with our track record so far over the last seven years in meeting that, that those	01:04:27
	reliability needs and I can assure you that your residents will not there the reliability of their service would not be impacted.	01:04:37
	So are you just is CPA like a broker, the middleman in between where the energy is sourced and then bringing it to our community?	01:04:48
	So yeah, so we, we source our power from private entities.	01:04:56
	In fact, most of the power in California is now owned by the private sector, including most of the power that Edison buys.	01:05:05
	So we are operating in that same competitive market.	01:05:12
	And.	01:05:17
	And will put on as much energy as our entire system demands onto the grid.	01:05:20
	Just like Edison does.	01:05:29
	One further question is as the.	01:05:31
	More and more city managers, Dr. electric vehicles. Anyways, I'm just taking the cheap shot, sorry. But my question is like, let's	01:05:35
	just say the electric vehicle market goes to 50% of all the cars in California. Will we be able to supply that needed energy to to	01:05:42
	power those batteries?	01:05:49
	Yes, Sir. We, we do internal demand forecasts looking at vehicle sales as well as registrations of our customers in our service	01:05:56
	territory. We are predicting a significant amount of increased demand and are planning for it and procuring ahead additional	01:06:04
	energy ahead of time. We also offer.	01:06:11
	Both rates, special rates and programs for our electric vehicle drivers.	01:06:22
	Who also are our customers to get them to, to encourage them to save money by charging at different times of the day when energy	01:06:28
	is clean and cheaper and a more plentiful than certain hours of the day. So we're both doing it at a system wide level, but we're	01:06:35
	also engaging with our customers.	01:06:41
	At the individual level, to help them save money by impacting the time of day that which they charge.	01:06:49
	And actually paying them to to charge it at times of the day when when energy is more plentiful.	01:06:57
	Any other questions? Yes, ma'am. Can we do Miss Hernandez 1st and then we'll come back to you. Thank you.	01:07:07
	Thank you.	01:07:13
	Mr. Peretz for your presentation and thank you, members of CPA, for being here tonight.	01:07:15
	Councilman Gama brought up a question regarding cost of services through CPA, and it's been my understanding that I'm a little	01:07:21
	concerned how this is going to be rolled out to residents because there's a lot of rumors out there about this costing more than	01:07:30
	their SCE charges. And it's my understanding that they may see an increase on their bills in the beginning, but that it will.	01:07:38
	Later on fall off. Is there any truth to that?	01:07:48
	That it will.	01:07:53
	Level off after after time. So depending on what rate a customer chooses or in the case of the decision you're going to make this	01:07:54
	evening about what the default rate is, whether or not the the.	01:08:04
	They would. A typical customer would either save money or pay no more more than they're currently paying or.	01:08:16
	Pay up to 5% more if they were to choose 100% green power. So it really depends on the rate that that an individual customer	01:08:25
	chooses or the rate that you all choose to have as your default. Because the fact of the matter is most customers will go with the	01:08:33
	rate that you all choose. So if you were to choose lean power.	01:08:41
	The typical customer would save 1% on their bills if you choose clean power.	01:08:50
	Uh, they'll pay the same amount and if that you choose 100% green power or they choose 100% green power, they would pay 5% more.	01:08:56
	Those our board last at the end of last year set those rate comparisons and those rate comparisons will stay in effect for at	01:09:07
	least the first nine months of service and after that you all would be involved in setting the the rates for the future.	01:09:17
	With the exception of one year, we've always had at least one rate cheaper than Edison and a customer can always choose to be on	01:09:27
	that rate. Very good. Thank you. Councilmember Press, I have two questions. The first one is related to the cities increase in	01:09:34
	potential costs. If we were to go with it, what is the reason for the significant increase in costs if the city were to opt in for	01:09:41
	the program?	01:09:47
	Yes. So that's just for the.	01:09:55
	The.	01:09:58
	The meters that or the the service for your street lights, all the other.	01:10:02
	Meters for the city are those same build comparisons St. lights are are an interesting long twisted history, but within the Edison	01:10:08
	framework, the street lights get a significant subsidy that we are unable to match and so that's why we generally recommend that	01:10:16
	unless a city has strong.	01:10:24
	Desire to 0 out their carbon footprint.	01:10:33
	That they consider opting them out or not beginning service with them. So Karen has been Karen Schmidt, who's on the line has	01:10:37
	been.	01:10:40
	Talking with your staff about that in order to ensure that there are no additional costs to the city.	01:10:45
	Thank you. And the opt out and opt in option, that's my second question. We know that when we.	01:10:52
	Go into this program. All residents in the city will automatically be opted into the program. How easy? Because I know there's a	01:11:00
	lot of concerns from some residents who may not be interested in sticking with a program. How easy is it for them to opt out? And	01:11:05
	is there a charge for them to decide to do that?	01:11:10
	Sorry, I was. You'd think after six years I would have been able to find the unmute button.	01:11:25
	But I found it so it is very easy to opt out. It can take it takes less than 5 minutes. People can do it either online.	01:11:32
	Or by calling our call center, our call center. So we have a space on our website, they can send an e-mail or they can call the	01:11:44
	call center.	01:11:49
	Via the call center, there's an automatic, you know, interactive voice response. They can do it or they can talk to a Rep. We have	01:11:55
	a sixty person call center here locally. It's not an outsource to any foreign country. It's unionized. It's a highly high	01:12:02
	performing call center. Folks can opt out quite easily.	01:12:10
	And we we generally do not.	01:12:19
	Have trouble with meeting those requests. What about the charge? Is there a charge for resident to decide to opt? There is. There	01:12:23
	is no charge to opt out.	01:12:28
	From CPA.	01:12:36
	After the first 100 and after the 1st 60 days of service, Edison can charge a fee. The current fee is about $0.50 to go back into	01:12:40
	the Edison system.	01:12:47
	After the 1st 60 days, is there a deadline Say we start this program, all residents are opted in. Is there a timeline when they	01:12:55
	have to opt out before they're?	01:13:01
	They're committed to the program or can they opt out?	01:13:08
	At anytime.	01:13:12
	We generally see most opt outs taking place within that first 120 days. When we're noticing generally the first six months, then	01:13:14
	people get used to it and and it remains quite stable.	01:13:20
	But people can opt out at anytime.	01:13:27
	No further questions for me. Thank you. Let's go to Mayor Pro Tem.	01:13:30
	And then we'll come back to you. Thank you.	01:13:34
	So just so the residents are clear, and this is how I'm understanding.	01:13:36
	Just roll out is.	01:13:42
	We're going to provide a base tier for Port Hueneme.	01:13:44
	But the residents do have options of selecting their own tier group. Is that correct?	01:13:50
	Yes, that's that's correct. The the the the base, the tier that you are deciding is for the customer who does nothing.	01:13:57
	OK, so SCE does have a.	01:14:07
	Discounts for people with say.	01:14:13
	Low income.	01:14:18
	You know, the mask for sleep apnea mask or do we have any of those incentives as well? So, yeah, so you're Speaking of the care	01:14:20
	program and the medical baseline program though if, if customers are already on those programs through Edison, they will	01:14:26
	automatically be ported over.	01:14:32
	And they'll get the same discount on their electricity bills that they currently do. OK, last question for people who generate	01:14:40
	their own renewable energy solar panels, is the rates very similar to what SE is offering?	01:14:48
	They are similar. We have two additional benefits for our customers.	01:14:57
	Who have solar panels The 1st is that if they are net exporters of energy over the course of the year we will pay them an	01:15:03
	additional 10% above what Edison pays. We also have a a rebate program for home batteries. So if you already have solar panels and	01:15:12
	you want to add batteries or you're adding new solar panels and you want to add a battery, we have.	01:15:20
	$77150 rebate for a typical for a regular customer.	01:15:28
	$1000 if you're a low income customer.	01:15:34
	That's all. Thank you.	01:15:37
	Councilmember Comma.	01:15:39
	So you just triggered something on me that the city we have, we have solar power here, right? And so are we a net exporter of	01:15:41
	energy?	01:15:46
	The city of Port Hueneme.	01:15:53
	I don't believe so.	01:15:56
	OK. So we're consuming all the solar energy that we produce.	01:15:57
	Yes. And therefore we don't. And we pay an electric bill and we pay an electric bill.	01:16:02
	So have we penciled out the savings like is this?	01:16:08
	Working out for us. So that's where that's one of the reasons why we're recommending the tier we're recommending is because it	01:16:13
	would be anticipated to be the same cost. So no additional, no additional cost, no savings. The council has the options though to	01:16:20
	either choose more renewable at an additional cost or less renewables at savings. But we recommended the middle tier which would	01:16:26
	be more renewable without additional cost, right. And then here's the part that.	01:16:33
	It's a little funky.	01:16:42
	We're we're faced with making a decision tonight which it's pretty clear we we have to exercise our fiduciary responsibility and	01:16:45
	save the city from 365,000 to 500,000. I think it's a no brainer, right. And but by doing that we're opting.	01:16:55
	And I guess I heard that streetlights are complicated, Edison subsidizes, but we're we're we're going to opt out of the program.	01:17:05
	To enjoy savings, we aren't opting out of the program. We are in the program, but we're opting our streetlights out of the	01:17:15
	program.	01:17:18
	Everything else the city has will still be in the program. The very specific streetlight subsidy issue so and the that would	01:17:22
	impact our budget but also impact the taxpayers exactly right. So we clearly.	01:17:31
	Need to go with that. So then I.	01:17:42
	And this is complicated. So again, I'm trying to answer the questions at the ratepayers our residents may have. And I know there's	01:17:47
	a couple out there because I saw a little bit of conversation going on today, so.	01:17:53
	Is every rate pair going to be rolled into this program?	01:18:00
	And then if you want out, you have to opt out, is that correct? OK. And we're being told that it's really easy to opt out, you	01:18:04
	make phone call.	01:18:10
	Or you go on a web page and it's real simple Yeah. And I'll, I'll just make one positive notice that at this point early on, this	01:18:16
	was kind of like a leap of faith. But at this point, every city around us has already joined the the rest of Ventura County, I	01:18:23
	believe all cities in Ventura County have already joined and have already opted in and dozens of cities in LA County and Orange	01:18:31
	County. So if if you have it in your budget to pay 5% more of your electricity because.	01:18:38
	You're gonna go 100% clean energy then go for it. But if your budget.	01:18:46
	Can't handle that and things are tight. Then you could go with.	01:18:52
	The least costly option, which is less than 100% green energy, correct? And one of the points I know that Clean Power Alliance	01:18:57
	used to really highlight that I thought was a good point to keep in mind is right now you don't have any choice without being in	01:19:04
	the Clean Power Alliance. You have Southern California Edison and that's it. With this, you have choices. You have Southern	01:19:10
	California Edison if you don't want to be part of this, or you could opt to.	01:19:17
	Three different tiers within Clean Power Alliance. So it actually is choices. I think the thing that is hard to get used to and	01:19:25
	the the one part that's scary for people is.	01:19:29
	By opting in, everybody moves to it, but then you have those. You actually have 4 choices essentially that you don't have right	01:19:35
	now. So the challenge for the five of us?	01:19:40
	Is to be able to answer questions accurately when they come at us in the public. And that's where I feel we may need a little	01:19:46
	help. I did see some conversation today and I had to recall like, oh, wait a minute, where are we at with this and trying to	01:19:53
	recall what we did. And so can we break it down? Do you have any material for us to give us the.	01:20:00
	The talking points that we could get out on social media and hopefully the five of us could be.	01:20:09
	Not experts, but have be able to answer the basic questions. Yeah. And that's what part of what we talked about with Clean Power	01:20:14
	Alliance was making sure that we get materials to do outreach and and we're looking to try to schedule. I think we're trying to do	01:20:22
	2 community meetings to try to help get that word out too, because the you know, the maybe bearing the lead is.	01:20:30
	If somebody's concern is purely savings, they actually have an option to save money that doesn't exist.	01:20:38
	Without joining, right, And I want to be able to, as a council person, be able to direct them to that path.	01:20:44
	Very easily without.	01:20:49
	Complicating.	01:20:52
	OK, go back to you, Charles wanted to add that the next phase after the council were to take action is to move towards that the	01:20:54
	public outreach and the partnership between CPA and the city. The city would serve as the vehicle. As mentioned before, we have	01:21:00
	many different avenues to to promote the information. But the the resource, the information Gina is, is kind of that is her expert	01:21:06
	area and she can speak a little bit to that. But the the documents, the FAQs, the informational sheets, we would get those source	01:21:12
	documents.	01:21:17
	CPA and distribute that through the city's means.	01:21:24
	And I'll just say briefly, I think Charles covered it really well, but this is sort of the next step before we can really do that	01:21:27
	outreach is the decision you're making today. Once we know the preferred energy option, we'll be able to really launch that	01:21:33
	outreach. And so as as requested, that includes a whole slew of items that we really hope the city can use and that we will use to	01:21:39
	help make sure that people are as aware as possible of this change. So there's talking points that will provide. There's sample	01:21:45
	social media, there's a sample.	01:21:51
	Press release We like to do at least two community meetings, so we really rely on the city and staff to know what those meetings	01:21:57
	look like, whether it's an Earth Day event or maybe a community fair or whatever it is that makes the most sense in the city. In	01:22:04
	addition to that, Charles mentioned there's notices that go out. Those notices not only explain how to opt out, they also explain	01:22:12
	how to opt up if you want to, how to opt down, what the benefits are of Clean Power Alliance. There's fact sheets.	01:22:19
	Frequently asked questions. So really once this decision is made, we are very excited to partner with the city on whatever the	01:22:27
	outreach is that you think best suits the city and really building off the experience of the past 35 cities that we've already	01:22:32
	had. Join Clean Power Alliance.	01:22:38
	Great. Thank you. I think we've heard everyone's questions. Great.	01:22:46
	So there's been some social media chatter can can we make sure that and is it your practice to monitor some of the neighborhood	01:22:54
	chat so that you could?	01:22:59
	Misinformation, misunderstandings in the bud and and because because it came up today on a port when Amy neighborhood group, I	01:23:05
	believe I'm not sure, but I I know Luis Mendez commented. And so basically I just want to make sure that we're looking out for	01:23:12
	avenues to jump in and and nip misinformation in the **** if there is in fact some. Yeah. So once the outreach starts, in addition	01:23:19
	to myself, we have someone who is we have another person, Joe Cabral, who will be specifically working.	01:23:26
	To monitor what's going on, monitor chatter. He lives in Oxnard. It's a very close by. And I'll say, you know, it gets tricky with	01:23:34
	social media, with next door specifically.	01:23:38
	That's something that we really work closely with the council and staff on because only people that live in a particular city can	01:23:44
	see what happens in next door. So if it's chatter on next door, then we work closely with city staff and with council members to	01:23:50
	really monitor that. If it's other types of chatter, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, that we do have access to. But either way, we	01:23:56
	are well versed in making sure that we're looking at sort of what chatters out there and then making sure we have talking points	01:24:02
	to address.	01:24:08
	Great. If there are no other questions, we'll move to public comments.	01:24:17
	Madam Clerk, we have a public comment from Luis Mendez.	01:24:23
	Thank you, mayor, mayor Pro Tem, council members and staff. I'm glad I got to hear all that because now my kind of speech has	01:24:32
	changed with the answers, questions being answered. Just two little things of criticism, I guess to the city, you know, for	01:24:39
	improvement. One, I I don't like and a lot of people don't like the mandatory opt in where you have to opt out. I think to require	01:24:46
	us to go do our homework and go and take steps to get back to where we want, I think is inconsiderate.	01:24:53
	For something we didn't opt to be changed to. So like I said, that kind of changed my opinion a little bit just listening to the	01:25:30
	answer. So I appreciate that. But I just think a little bit more communication and the fluidity of it would be could be better	01:25:35
	received to the community by you guys doing a little bit more work on it. Thank you. Thank you.	01:25:41
	That concludes public comment.	01:25:48
	City Manager, yeah, if I could just note maybe it is helpful to kind of go back. I know the slide had the history, but we had to	01:25:50
	go through a multi step process because.	01:25:55
	The last step was that Southern or Clean Power Alliance had to actually.	01:26:02
	Essentially approve our application to get into the program. And so that's what's been happening over the last maybe seven or	01:26:07
	eight months, maybe I might not be exactly right about that time frame, but that's sort of that awkward pause. And so we had	01:26:13
	talked about joining it in the past. We had talked about what we expected the rates to be, but we had notification from Clean	01:26:19
	Power Alliance.	01:26:25
	During the holidays that we had been accepted in and that we were ready to take the next step.	01:26:32
	And so we are bringing it forward and then I think to our Clean Power Alliance partners.	01:26:37
	Point is, and now we're ready to start getting the information out to people about what those rates are actually going to be here	01:26:43
	in Port Hueneme, but we need to pick our rate to tell people what that default is. So it's sort of it is the process. I think the	01:26:50
	criticism that is fair and I think we all feel this way is.	01:26:56
	The part that probably is going to frustrate people is the automatically being opted in. I wish that didn't have to happen, but	01:27:04
	that is the way it it works from a utility standpoint. So it is just the way it has to happen. We don't have the option to join it	01:27:11
	without opting everybody in. So that's the that's the one drawback at this point with the program. But as we said earlier, 35	01:27:19
	cities have gone through this process. I know Clean Power Alliance at one point.	01:27:26
	Had put out some numbers. I don't think this is anything that shouldn't be repeated, but I think it was something like 90% of	01:27:34
	people don't opt out and so once they get the bill and they see the difference, they are happy with it. So it's nobody likes to be	01:27:42
	forced to do anything but the vast majority of people are staying in the program and are happy with it after it happens so.	01:27:50
	So thank you.	01:27:58
	Thank you, Madam Clerk. Does that conclude the public comments? Yes, thank you.	01:28:00
	So the recommendation is to select the Clean Power tier as the City of Port Huenemes default renewable energy tier with the Clean	01:28:07
	Power Alliance, which based on estimates provided by Clean Power Alliance is anticipated to keep costs at the same level as	01:28:14
	standard Southern California Edison rates to authorize staff to take action needed to exempt the city's state streetlights from	01:28:20
	the Clean Power Alliance due to those.	01:28:27
	Due to those being assessed differently, resulting in an anticipated significant cost.	01:28:35
	And three appoint a city representative and alternate to the Clean Power Alliance board of directors.	01:28:41
	May I have a motion and a second?	01:28:49
	I'll move approval of the recommendation, but do we have to have a discussion on the appointment?	01:28:54
	Now OK.	01:29:01
	We'd recommend, yeah, just including within that an appointment for a representative and an alternate.	01:29:03
	Great. I second.	01:29:10
	OK, so I'd like to throw my name in the hat for being a primary member.	01:29:12
	Of the board for CPA, and I'll tell you why I'm interested. I also chair the Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance. So I think	01:29:19
	it's really important that those two entities tie in. And I'm also able to attend in person the meetings that are held on Thursday	01:29:26
	afternoons at 2:00 in downtown Los Angeles, since I'm already there attending the Southern California Association of Governments	01:29:33
	meeting and I've been encouraged.	01:29:41
	By other cities who sit on the CPA to, to join that group and they said it's much to our advantage to do so in person to and	01:29:49
	attend those meetings in person because there's a lot more value in in the discussions that are had if you're there in person. I'd	01:29:56
	like to 2nd both motions.	01:30:02
	If that's OK.	01:30:10
	So I don't know yeah, I was gonna say a weed would need to decide if we want to have an alternate in BI know that that was.	01:30:15
	Proposal. I didn't know if I didn't catch if that was emotion. Maybe we can. Can we do this? Can we do 2 motions, approve one and	01:30:25
	two and then go to #3 That's a good idea, yes. So is there a motion and a second for number one and two recommendations? 1 and 2	01:30:31
	only.	01:30:37
	So move. So moved. Oh, just for one only. OK.	01:30:44
	Just wanted to so is there a second for one and two, second one and two?	01:30:49
	And Madam Clerk, can we get a vote?	01:30:54
	All in favor for those of one and two. Aye aye, all those opposed.	01:30:58
	Motion passes unanimously. Great. So now we'll go to #3 appoint a city representative and alternate to the Clean Power Alliance	01:31:05
	Board of Directors. I'd like to dominate Councilmember Hernandez to be the primary.	01:31:10
	And.	01:31:18
	I'm not interested in alternate so if anyone is.	01:31:19
	I will nominate you.	01:31:23
	Is there any alternate? Anyone interested in the alternate?	01:31:25
	I will just note to if it's, I know the LA part kind of scares people away. So there is the ability to attend locally at the	01:31:32
	Ventura County Government Center if you aren't able to go to LA. So if that's scaring anybody away that that is there's an option	01:31:40
	there. And can we say that time again, 2:00 first Thursday of the month.	01:31:47
	OK. And.	01:31:55
	And a staff member can also.	01:31:56
	Serve as an alternate could be a staff member could be well some cities of appointed community members who were part of.	01:31:59
	Advocating for the program. So there's there's options. OK, so.	01:32:08
	Mayor Pro Tem has volunteered to be the alternate.	01:32:15
	OK. And with that, can we get a motion and a second for #3?	01:32:18
	Move to approve.	01:32:23
	2nd.	01:32:26
	All in favor, aye. All opposed Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you.	01:32:27
	OK, we'll move on to #9 City Council Liaison Committee appointments for 2025 City Manager.	01:32:36
	Thank you. Yes, the next item is an item we.	01:32:45
	Due annually for each year we review the City Council Liaison Committee appointments. We have a list which we are pulling up here	01:32:51
	which shows last year's list of appointments.	01:32:58
	There are a couple of proposed changes and then the Council will have the option to make any any preferred changes or or	01:33:05
	modifications, but the changes that we recommend are basically based on things like committees that are no longer.	01:33:14
	Used or or if there's been a change in a position like the incoming mayor and mayor Pro Tem for example. So the changes that we	01:33:27
	have identified and recommended were on the City of Port Hueneme and Oxnard Harbor District City Port Committee. The mayor and	01:33:35
	mayor Pro Tem typically serve so we would recommend updating those with our.	01:33:43
	New mayor and mayor Pro Tem.	01:33:53
	For the Southern California Association of Governments, I.	01:33:55
	There, per their bylaws, if a member of the City Council is also a SCAG Regional Council District representative, that member by	01:34:01
	default is appointed to attend and be a voting member. The council has the option to change that if they choose to, but by default	01:34:07
	it's the member so.	01:34:13
	So we've reflected that that would be an option. Council has we had reach has historically been on this list. However, this year	01:34:21
	or last year the council agreed with reach to have reached no longer have a city appointment. So that is recommended to be removed	01:34:29
	from the list. Similarly the landscape design guidelines update committee is project is complete. So we are recommending removing	01:34:36
	that from the list moving forward.	01:34:44
	And then we noted that the Clean Power Alliance is newly added and we will update that with the appointments that the council just	01:34:52
	made. And so those are the changes that are recommended due to, you know, some other change, but.	01:35:00
	Each year the council could also discuss and decide whether there's just any desire to make any change or to alternate.	01:35:09
	On agendas, our committees. So with that we've pulled the list up and we can go through it as the council desires, but we	01:35:16
	recommend the council discusses and identify any changes.	01:35:24
	Can I can I suggest that we start from the top of the list and just go down and discuss them that way?	01:35:36
	Great. Thank you.	01:35:43
	Yeah, I'm very comfortable with the continuing on with Beacon.	01:35:45
	I'm on the executive committee.	01:35:50
	And we have a lot of exciting changes coming up I would like to discuss a little later. And then I'm also California Joint Powers	01:35:53
	Insurance Authority. I'm also OK.	01:36:00
	Let's go ahead and finished and so I.	01:36:07
	So the alternate is council member, Yeah, I'd like to comment on.	01:36:11
	I'd like to make a motion that we switch the alternate and primary for Beacon. I've sat has an alternate for six years now and I	01:36:16
	even has an alternate. I've helped in organizing the annual sand summits and.	01:36:25
	Participated in meetings and following what's going on and I think just in the spirit of rotation, I would like the opportunity to	01:36:35
	serve as primary for Beacon.	01:36:40
	So I'd like to make a motion to.	01:36:46
	To do that.	01:36:49
	I need a second.	01:36:55
	Any other discussion about Beacon?	01:36:58
	Before we take a vote.	01:37:00
	Can we have a discussion?	01:37:03
	OK, so.	01:37:07
	Are not that I want to jump, but are you willing to surrender another primary in order to get to to jump to a primary?	01:37:08
	Surrender another primary? Well, another committee. It just depends because some of the committees are organized such where it may	01:37:19
	not, a surrender may not make sense.	01:37:25
	I just don't want to be unfair with the committee appointments, want to make sure that everybody gets a turn right.	01:37:32
	And, and I there's a lot that goes into deciding whether or not you can serve on the committee. You know your schedule, you know,	01:37:43
	can you make them? Can you attend the meetings if you're working full time?	01:37:49
	There's transportation issues involved, so.	01:37:55
	We've never really we've as much as we try to balance it out, we also have to consider that some people.	01:38:00
	Cannot carry as many committees as others because of their work schedule or for other reasons.	01:38:07
	I have a comment.	01:38:14
	Yeah, go right ahead, I think.	01:38:15
	So what's there? Not a motion.	01:38:47
	Were we at on beacons? This is a discussion and Madam Mayor, just may I say before we actually take a vote on a motion, I know	01:38:50
	this one is a little bit different. If we can just call for public comment, let's do that. And I will say sorry, but there are no	01:38:56
	public comments. I just wanted to state.	01:39:02
	Great. Thank you. Thank you.	01:39:10
	I'm done. So you're done. Did you have anything to say, Councilmember Comma I.	01:39:13
	Pink Councilmember Hernandez made a motion to nominate herself.	01:39:18
	Was that what happened and I didn't hear a second?	01:39:24
	I think at this point we weren't having a discussion. Yes, she called for a vote. OK, I still haven't heard a second.	01:39:29
	All right. Are you are you still serving as the alternate? I hope so, Yeah, yes.	01:39:46
	Any other discussion on Beacon? I would like to say that has an alternate on Beacon and because of my involvement in helping with	01:39:52
	the sand summits and other planning issues, I'd like to make sure that I.	01:40:00
	Councilman Gama includes me in those discussions because I was excluded last year. Don't think that's appropriate for an	01:40:09
	alternate, but I am on the executive committee with Beacon and so.	01:40:14
	You know the alternate is to fill in when the primary can't be there. It's not.	01:40:20
	It's defined differently for Beacon.	01:40:25
	OK, well, just I don't know what that means.	01:40:28
	You attend most of the meetings, so as far as I'm concerned, you don't have a problem in chiming in when you feel like it. So I	01:40:33
	don't see any need to even change the way we've been operating because you participate in the meetings as a alternate.	01:40:40
	OK, OK, great. Thank you. So for for Beacon, Councilmember Hernandez has agreed to stay after the alternate got Councilmember Gama	01:40:49
	as their primary. Is there a motion and a second?	01:40:56
	I motion second.	01:41:07
	Can we get a vote please?	01:41:10
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	01:41:11
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously. Great. So let's move to CJ Pia, Currently I.	01:41:15
	Councilmember Gama is the primary and our former Council Member Martinez was the alternate.	01:41:24
	You have.	01:41:34
	Councilmember Gama, is that something that you something that you want to continue with? Yes, I am a associate in risk management	01:41:35
	and I really appreciate the CGPI and the programs that they bring. It is a little difficult assignment because their meetings are	01:41:41
	in La Palma and however.	01:41:47
	It's a real smooth operation. There's 126 members and so.	01:41:56
	If I can't make it to the La Palma meeting that it's there's always a quorum. So but they do bring good programming that's	01:42:03
	available to all the council members and so strongly encourage everybody to participate. Great. And it looks like that's once a	01:42:10
	year. And so is there anyone else anyone would like to serve as the alternate?	01:42:17
	As altered, great, I'll move.	01:42:26
	2nd.	01:42:30
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	01:42:34
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:42:37
	And so city, city Port Standing Committee, customarily, yeah.	01:42:41
	And so we'll go to the Clean Air Alliance Board of Directors. We've just done that.	01:42:48
	That's resolved.	01:42:55
	OK, economic development.	01:42:56
	Collaborative.	01:42:59
	That primaries Councilmember Perez and the alternate was Martinez.	01:43:01
	And that is third Thursday, 3/30.	01:43:08
	August and December, so it looks like oh, they're dark. August and December, so that's.	01:43:13
	3rd Thursday.	01:43:20
	I also serve on the executive committee for that as well.	01:43:22
	We need an alternative. Is there an alternate volunteer for an alternate?	01:43:28
	And that's third Thursday.	01:43:34
	I concern.	01:43:39
	3:30 PM.	01:43:43
	OK, great. That's Lopez.	01:43:44
	Your project motion.	01:43:47
	Move to approve second.	01:43:50
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:43:54
	Great Nexus Federal Outreach and Advisory Council.	01:43:59
	Councilmember Perez, is that something you want to continue with?	01:44:04
	Sure, if there's nobody else interested.	01:44:07
	And there's it looks like there's a Monday 2nd Tuesday, 2:00 PM via Zoom.	01:44:11
	And there's two annual meetings.	01:44:16
	I'd like to nominate Mayor Pro Tem Jess Lopez.	01:44:19
	Due to his military experience, I think he'll have something to bring to the table.	01:44:24
	So I want to leave that up to him because I know he's still employed. And this is at 2:00.	01:44:30
	And so some of these may be more difficult. Yeah, that's just me.	01:44:36
	There's only really other than that I the RDP is what I'm interested in, so I'm going to pass on the federal outreach and	01:44:41
	advisory.	01:44:45
	Fake it for now.	01:44:51
	Is there a motion for Councilmember Perez? So moved. Well, I'll do the alternate. Oh, you won't do the alternator. I'll talk about	01:44:52
	that. I'm sorry. Yeah. Council Member Hernandez.	01:44:57
	Sorry about that. Can we get a motion in a second?	01:45:05
	Motion.	01:45:08
	All in favor, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:45:12
	The next one is Gold Coast Transit. I'm.	01:45:18
	Serve as a primary. I'm currently the chair, so I'd like to remain on that one. Move to continue and then.	01:45:23
	Alternate is Council Member Hernandez. You want to continue with that Gold Coast transit? They don't do their meetings on Zoom, do	01:45:33
	they? No, they do. Yeah. So Wednesdays I'm out because I'm in Pasadena. So I wouldn't be a good alternate for you. OK.	01:45:40
	Unfortunately.	01:45:48
	And so it'd be nice to have an alternate I haven't missed in two years. So if this is one of the ones that I would be OK with	01:45:50
	being vacant.	01:45:55
	Anyone. 10:00 AM.	01:46:04
	If you need an alternate, I can do it.	01:46:06
	But she's got perfect attendance so far. OK, so is there a motion and a second?	01:46:10
	2nd.	01:46:17
	All in favor, aye. All opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. OK, next one. Port Hueneme Water Agency.	01:46:19
	That is three members and one alternate, 3 council member. It requires 3 council members and an alternate.	01:46:29
	I'll stay the alternate.	01:46:37
	OK. I was hoping you would change with me. I served three years on that committee. So new guy gets the new.	01:46:39
	OK. Yeah, I will. I'll continue with that. I'm good to continue. Yeah. Do you want, do you want to be on that? Thank you.	01:46:47
	And so we'll, we'll, we'll leave it like it is then.	01:46:54
	Well, the third was Martinez, so that, oh, the third was, yeah. So we'd have to have one more. Yeah. And that's, that's before	01:46:58
	council.	01:47:02
	Motion.	01:47:12
	Move to approve.	01:47:14
	2nd.	01:47:16
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:47:18
	The Port Hueneme Housing Authority is all of us.	01:47:24
	That's good. Shall I make a motion?	01:47:28
	We got it.	01:47:31
	Do we need a motion for that?	01:47:36
	No, we'll see Council consensus.	01:47:37
	And so the next one is RDP.	01:47:41
	Like to nominate mayor Pro Tem. I think he wanted to share that.	01:47:45
	Has primary or his alternate primary.	01:47:52
	Do you want to continue as alternate? Sure.	01:47:56
	I'm still on this. Does anyone else want to be the alternate?	01:48:00
	I don't want to pick out people myself. OK, great. Thank you.	01:48:04
	Eyes there motion move through proof second.	01:48:07
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	01:48:11
	Motion passes unanimously.	01:48:14
	About the sister City, yes, I have a comment on the sister City. So the Sister City committee had informed us that they were going	01:48:17
	to request a.	01:48:21
	Similar to Reach separating and not being a city entity. They just haven't officially done it yet.	01:48:27
	So yeah, we would.	01:48:33
	We, we will probably what we can do is we'll bring a consent item like on the next agenda to, to approve that change. Yeah, yeah.	01:48:36
	So the just for everybody's memory, the thing that was holding it up was them getting like a certified as a 501C3 and getting all	01:48:43
	that. And that is now done, I believe. So we should be, we should be able to make that change, right. And then just the background	01:48:50
	is that having 2 council members on a committee kind of creates a little bit of.	01:48:57
	A Brown Act issue in that you know, there can't be collaboration with other council members, so.	01:49:05
	Well, I don't agree with that premise.	01:49:11
	But we we did that on reach and and I think that was the same premise for sister committee.	01:49:14
	Throughout this list of.	01:49:20
	Committees where we've got two people so.	01:49:21
	Yeah, well, the the sister city committee.	01:49:24
	In particular and reach in particular, the request was from those entities that they.	01:49:28
	Wanted to separate and not have a dedicated city spot. If you remember the conversation was they said that they would be open to	01:49:36
	having city representatives who wanted to join it and participate, but it's just the mandatory city spot even if somebody's not	01:49:42
	interested in it didn't didn't really help either entity so.	01:49:48
	So, so, so we could still serve as individuals, as residents, but not as council? Yeah, exactly.	01:49:55
	We'll make that change.	01:50:03
	Let's move down to SCAG. Currently, Hernandez is primary. There is no alternate.	01:50:06
	I have a comment on that.	01:50:12
	So with SCAG, there are multiple Scaggs, like for instance, I'm on the community, Community Economic and Human development.	01:50:15
	Is that on there? Oh, OK. It's gonna be later then. Never mind. This was specifically I think it's the Regional Council, district	01:50:26
	represent. Yeah. The ones that are up here are the ones that are appointed by council. The ones later. The council does not make	01:50:31
	those appointments.	01:50:35
	And.	01:50:42
	And there is no alternate. But this isn't just an annual meeting.	01:50:44
	No, this is the regular first Thursday of the month and they are do require.	01:50:48
	This year that we meet in person so it is once a month meeting.	01:50:54
	And I was initially invited to.	01:51:00
	Serve as the District 45 Rep by Carmen Ramirez and that District 45 includes Port Hueneme, Camarillo and Oxnard.	01:51:04
	Does anyone have a desire to serve on?	01:51:16
	Great. Can I get a motion and a second for what?	01:51:21
	Hernandez being primary.	01:51:26
	So moved.	01:51:27
	2nd.	01:51:29
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	01:51:31
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:51:34
	Southern California Edison Government Advisory panel Mayor, I'm sorry.	01:51:37
	Sorry.	01:51:42
	Southern California Edison Government advisory panel.	01:51:47
	List Hernandez and it there's no information on meeting on the meeting area. Is that the case?	01:51:51
	We meet as needed, but we do have fairly regular meetings at least once a month.	01:51:58
	So and I would very much like to continue serving on that committee due to the.	01:52:05
	My role on VCR, EA and now CPA. I think all those issues tie in together right? Did anyone else have?	01:52:11
	Would like to nominate Councilmember Hernandez.	01:52:19
	2nd.	01:52:22
	All in favor, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:52:24
	We're move on to V cog Ventura Council of Governments.	01:52:30
	I am. I'm open to giving up the.	01:52:35
	The lead spot, and I think this could be a good one for mayor Pro Tem only because we've been meeting at at Cal State University,	01:52:39
	Channel Islands, which would be really easy for you to get to if you're interested. If not, and if Council member Hernandez would	01:52:46
	like to take the lead role, be fine with me.	01:52:53
	Yeah, I'll do either either alternate or primary vehicle ties right into SCAG, so.	01:53:01
	There's I could be the alternate. OK, awesome.	01:53:08
	Thank you. Second all in favor. Aye, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:53:12
	And Ventura County Air Pollution District advisory, that was a appointed position for Mr. Gama. Yeah, it looks like it's a four	01:53:21
	year term. Yeah. And you know, it's one it's, we only have a meeting when there's a proposed rule change and I think they're done	01:53:27
	with rule changes so.	01:53:33
	I'm fine continuing on.	01:53:40
	And it's appointed so.	01:53:45
	Venture County Animal Service Commission I absolutely love serving on the Ventura County Animal Services Commission and I'm really	01:53:48
	excited to work with the new director that we have we've had a.	01:53:53
	Tumultuous couple years and I'm hoping and our meeting schedule has fallen apart. We really haven't had too many meetings through	01:54:00
	all the turmoil, but looks like we're going to be on track to having a.	01:54:05
	Dynamic. Amazing.	01:54:13
	Director I brought him out here about a month ago, I believe, and I gave him a tour of the area.	01:54:16
	Esteban remember his last name, but anyways.	01:54:24
	Great. Thank you. Any other interest?	01:54:28
	Alternate Council Hernandez. I'm fine. I've never had the opportunity to go to a meeting, so I'm I'm good. I move to nominate.	01:54:32
	2nd.	01:54:42
	All in favor aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. This is a really good team building exercise.	01:54:44
	The VCC.	01:54:54
	I would like to continue on that so moved.	01:54:56
	2nd.	01:55:01
	All in favor, aye. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously.	01:55:03
	Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance District Board.	01:55:08
	There is no alternate, but the primary is Councilmember Hernandez.	01:55:12
	I'm chair also.	01:55:16
	I'd like to nominate her council member Hernanis to carry on.	01:55:19
	2nd.	01:55:22
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:55:25
	Next is the regional sanitation district. I'm currently the primary and council member Hernandez is the alternate.	01:55:31
	Any interest?	01:55:40
	Microphone.	01:55:42
	In.	01:55:44
	When the city clerk gets up, you know you're in trouble.	01:55:49
	Watch out say any interest I'm willing to continue so moved alternate.	01:55:53
	Council Member Hernandez, I'll continue as alternate. I'll make the motion second.	01:56:00
	OK. All in favor, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:56:06
	And the last is the muse. Is that the No, it's not the last. The Museum governance committee.	01:56:14
	I'm currently sitting on that and the alternate is Mr. Gama.	01:56:20
	Are we going down the same path on those other two?	01:56:25
	Potentially we haven't been asked. I think actually if I remember right, I think the council, when the museum reopened, the	01:56:31
	council actually gave the assignment to the museum committee to.	01:56:36
	Come back with their proposed sort of governance structure. So potentially it's sort of in their court to come back and tell us	01:56:42
	how they want to do it. OK, So we could pass on that one. Yeah, I think just leave it alone for now and then we'll figure it out.	01:56:46
	Thank you.	01:56:51
	Next Air pollution Control Board. I'm appointed to that.	01:56:57
	And so I'd like to continue, of course. So move. And Madam Mayor, this these you don't have to.	01:57:02
	Great. We're good. Yes, thank you. Good. They're not appointed by Council.	01:57:08
	So is that it? I think that is it.	01:57:15
	The ones down there, OK, great. Oh, I do have one that I need to run by the City Council because according to our policies and	01:57:19
	procedures, the council.	01:57:24
	Needs to approve any outside committees that we may be a member of and at the same time represent the city, and that would be.	01:57:29
	The League of California Cities, I'm second vice president this year for the coastal counties a group. And the reason I I think	01:57:43
	it's important because there are some budgetary costs for travel and hotel associated with that assignment.	01:57:53
	OK. My, my initial thought is that we can get that information and bring that back as a as an item. It could be a potentially	01:58:06
	consent item if it's simple versus I think doing it under this kind of existing committee appointment potentially. Yeah, it could	01:58:14
	be maybe a little bit of a Brown Act issue. So we can bring that.	01:58:21
	To a future council.	01:58:30
	Because it's not agendized. So theoretically if a member of the public.	01:58:34
	Wanted to speak about the League of Cities committee. They don't know. I see they don't have the opportunity to do that now. So,	01:58:38
	so I think we can get that information from you and the League of Cities and bring it back very good.	01:58:43
	OK, I think we have.	01:58:50
	Completed that task and we have plenty of motions and Georgiana will have fun typing the minutes.	01:58:52
	OK, so we'll wait a minute. We didn't do water agency.	01:59:01
	Port Hueneme Water Agency with.	01:59:06
	Martinez is the primary those.	01:59:08
	PH Washington actually makes those appointments for the AWA. Oh, OK, very good. Thank you.	01:59:14
	OK, OK.	01:59:21
	Thank you. So we will move to agenda item number 10, Synopsis of agreements between the City of Port Hueneme and Oxnard Harbor	01:59:24
	Port.	01:59:29
	Will staff please present the report?	01:59:35
	Thank you, Madam Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, council members, audience, staff.	01:59:38
	This is really an education item.	01:59:44
	To bring our newest Council member up to speed with respect to these agreements, and some of them are very complicated, as well as	01:59:47
	to refresh the recollection of the remainder of the Council.	01:59:54
	Primarily, there are four separate agreements. There's a modification to one agreement and there are two amendments to the	02:00:02
	agreements. And the stated purpose of all of these agreements is to offset the costs of improvements and maintenance of city	02:00:07
	infrastructure due to the ports activities.	02:00:13
	I've listed those agreements out on the 1st slide. There's a 1983 agreement.	02:00:19
	A 1987 agreement. First modification to the 1983 agreement.	02:00:26
	An MO UA Memorandum of understanding between the city, the port and the surplus property authority regarding the transfer of the	02:00:31
	end cell, maybe?	02:00:36
	Naval Construction Engineering Laboratory property, which has two addenda. There's a settlement agreement, settlement and release	02:00:41
	agreement between the city and the port dated October 5, 2015. There's a First Amendment to the 1983 agreement and then a Second	02:00:48
	Amendment amendment to the 1983 agreement.	02:00:54
	What's interesting and needs to be kept in the back of your mind is that all of these agreements to a certain extent are still in	02:01:02
	full force and effect. There have been some modifications, but I'll, I'll review that with you and all of the agreements conclude	02:01:08
	right about March 2036.	02:01:14
	OK, the 1983 agreement.	02:01:24
	The original term of this agreement was for 25 years and it really focused on truck and vehicle traffic impacts on the	02:01:28
	infrastructure and the maintenance and road repair costs and as well as increased security concerns.	02:01:36
	So the city obligations under this agreement are reconstruction and widening of Pomona, Panama Rd.	02:01:44
	Maintenance and repair of Pleasant Valley and Port Hueneme roads to ensure full use by the port.	02:01:51
	Providing and maintaining police patrol and investigative services within and around the port.	02:01:57
	City approval of a resolution consenting to the port's acquisition of certain properties.	02:02:04
	And the city is to provide a report each year of these items by September 1 of each year.	02:02:09
	Under the 1983 agreement.	02:02:16
	Be port. In consideration of those actions by the city, the port was to make a payment to the City of 0.2778% of the ports gross	02:02:20
	operating revenues as indicated in the most recent audit and that was to be made by the 10th of every month.	02:02:29
	Remember that agreement is still in full force, in effect.	02:02:41
	I'm really bad with clicker. Thanks the 19th.	02:02:46
	So did I hear you say that that calculation would be done on a monthly basis?	02:02:51
	Yes, under the agreement the payment is to be made by the 10th of each month.	02:02:58
	And then it would be audited.	02:03:03
	I got mixed up because I think he said they're they're.	02:03:07
	Subject to financial review or something?	02:03:10
	Gross operating revenues are based upon a the most recent audit of the port and the port would make a payment of .2778% of those	02:03:14
	gross operating revenues.	02:03:22
	This is not a port an audit by the city. This is the port's own audited financials. But it would do it on a monthly or just	02:03:30
	yearly. Monthly. The payment under the agreement, the payment is to be made monthly by the 10th of each month. But don't we do	02:03:38
	annual? Don't public agencies do yearly audits? That is correct. OK so I'm just wondering how that works out.	02:03:46
	I can't answer that.	02:03:55
	Yeah, my my assumption would be.	02:03:57
	I, I assume that they actually just base it on their month end reports, but then at the end of the year they provide and it's	02:04:02
	probably something John's going to touch on, but at the end of the year they do provide their, per the contract, they're supposed	02:04:09
	to provide their reconciliation via their audited audit statements.	02:04:15
	Their audit documents, I think that's listed in the contract, but I don't expect that they were agreeing to do a monthly audit. It	02:04:22
	just doesn't make any sense.	02:04:27
	So how far?	02:04:38
	Council members.	02:04:41
	Now, how far do you want to go before we start asking questions? Or do you want to notate your questions?	02:04:44
	I suggest we get through the presentation.	02:04:53
	At least, yeah, I think that especially as we get further along, some of the answers are in like the next slide where there's	02:04:56
	modifications. So I'd recommend, I know it's frustrating because we have to wait, but I I recommend getting through the	02:05:02
	presentation and then having the clear picture to ask questions. Well, I just think that if questions come up and we clarify them	02:05:08
	when we keep rolling, you know, because it does.	02:05:14
	When we get to the end of the presentation, there's a lot of information being thrown out, so.	02:05:21
	Anyways, well, whatever they if the majority says, let's just go through it on try and save our questions for later. I'm OK with	02:05:26
	that. If the.	02:05:29
	Yes.	02:05:34
	I'm not saying go through the whole one, but if we could probably hear we're talking about 1983 if we can just hear 1983.	02:05:36
	And then maybe we can stop.	02:05:43
	How do you all feel about that?	02:05:46
	Concur.	02:05:48
	Per per agreement, OK.	02:05:50
	Agreement those questions.	02:05:53
	OK. I think we're on to the 1987 agreement at this point, and I apologize in advance. This really drives stuff.	02:05:55
	Very detailed and these agreements are very complex. The 83 agreement was actually rather simple. Now we're getting into more	02:06:03
	complicated agreements and one thing I've noticed is that.	02:06:09
	In these agreements, nobody was defining terms.	02:06:17
	So in my there's a lot of question, I guess they didn't believe in terms in those days.	02:06:22
	That said, is there any other questions for the 983?	02:06:29
	Agreement. If not, I have a question.	02:06:35
	So in in the 1983 agreement, it does say that on September 30th of each year the port will provide financial statements audited by	02:06:39
	an independent CPA.	02:06:43
	If they're already doing a.	02:06:49
	Audit that's independent.	02:06:52
	I'm not clear why we wouldn't have to ask for another audit.	02:06:55
	Yeah. And I think one of the things that will become clear as we go through future years is that there's probably terms on both	02:07:03
	sides of the agreement that weren't maybe fully met and there's been terms that have changed over that time period. We've talked	02:07:11
	about it with the port at some of the recent joint meetings, but you know, the city didn't really ever follow the practice of	02:07:18
	submitting our report to them by September 1st. And then I don't think we ever got the report from the port by September 30th, so.	02:07:25
	Sort of like, you know, it's just, I think each, each agency just kind of got into a pattern and operated and wasn't honoring	02:07:33
	every letter of the agreement. I think those are things we've talked about with them that, you know, moving forward, we'd want to	02:07:40
	try to make sure either that we correct those things and and address them or that we update agreements when we do update them to	02:07:46
	take out and maybe simplify.	02:07:53
	I think I will say that I think by the end of this presentation, what we'll all say is we should simplify these things moving	02:08:00
	forward because it's layers and layers and layers of.	02:08:05
	Outdated language requirements, etc. So, so in their current agreement we are supposed to provide a report to them by September	02:08:11
	1st. They are supposed to provide audited statements back by September 30th. I don't think that those things ever happen. So their	02:08:18
	end of the year audit we we're not adjudicating that against.	02:08:26
	The invoices that they give us.	02:08:34
	It does not.	02:08:38
	To going back. This is going back 40 years, 42 years At this point, it does not appear to me that it was ever done.	02:08:41
	Yeah, kind of analyzed by by anybody, I think sort of both sides just sent each other invoices and kind of moved on so.	02:08:49
	OK. We're talking about the 83 agreement. Is there any formula that led to the .02778, not that I'm aware of, OK. Is there any	02:09:00
	description how that number came into being in other words?	02:09:09
	No, I council member the this agreement was 40 some odd years ago. I'm not aware of like a staff report in support of it or	02:09:21
	anything of that nature which would provide more detailed information as to how that number.	02:09:30
	UMM was arrived at, right? Because I'm there's just a lot of missing information on that. Then it's just what the contract says.	02:09:40
	Because a lot has changed since 1983 and I was wondering if there's a way we could.	02:09:50
	At least come up with the formulation of that figure. What went into it. I just just.	02:09:56
	You know you'd like to have a.	02:10:04
	What are they called? Not provenance, but.	02:10:06
	Sourcing your source document that says so No, here. Here's how we came up with that number. Unfortunately, Councilmember Gama,	02:10:10
	I'm not aware of the existence of any such document and all I have is really just the contract. Can I just add that this is the	02:10:17
	education, so we're learning now, so we shouldn't be trying to talk about fixes yet.	02:10:24
	We're not there yet. Thank you. So let's come. Yeah, thank you. Without talking about a fix out, I was just trying to understand	02:10:32
	if there was documentation to support the development of this number.	02:10:37
	OK, umm.	02:10:44
	All right, let's go on. Who's got the clicker?	02:10:46
	You got it? OK, 1987 agreement. The 1987 agreement resulted from the port's expansion of operations.	02:10:48
	At the port, through the creation of a second Wharf and the DOLE project, there had also been litigation between the parties	02:10:56
	regarding land use entitlements relating to this port expansion.	02:11:01
	Again, this agreement confirms that the 1983 agreement is still in full force in effect, and this is all set to expire in 2036.	02:11:07
	There were new payment obligations for the port.	02:11:14
	Upon the 366th day following the issuance of building permits to the Port, or 566 days after the issuance of a CFO, whichever	02:11:22
	occurs first, the Port will pay to the City 1.6% of gross operating revenues on the 1st of the month.	02:11:31
	Section 6 of the 1987 agreement restricts the city's use of these funds for specific purposes, along specific routes for the	02:11:42
	truck, truck uses, et cetera.	02:11:47
	Additionally, the gross operating revenues can be used for upgrading traffic signals at specific location, turn lanes, Rd. warning	02:11:54
	really infrastructure uses.	02:12:00
	And grants for coastal management.	02:12:06
	On the approval of the development permit for the Dole project, the port will pay a one time fee of $100,000 to the city.	02:12:10
	This payment can only be used for the purposes identified in Resolution 2324.	02:12:17
	Which includes partial mitigation of the port's environmental impacts to make improvements or to assist in the procurement of	02:12:23
	state grants for the Coastal Management Improvement Program.	02:12:29
	The 1987 agreement was required to be approved in a validation proceeding.	02:12:35
	Before the Ventura County Superior Court, and upon validation by the court, the court was ordered to pay 200,000 to the city as an	02:12:40
	advance on the monthly payments of gross operating revenue.	02:12:47
	From this the port was allowed to deduct 166.66 monthly thereafter until the full $200,000 is recover and this 200,000 had	02:12:55
	restrictions on its use again. Rd. improvements, turn lanes, infrastructure.	02:13:03
	Road infrastructure improvement.	02:13:11
	It is my understanding that this validation proceeding before the Ventura County Court did occur.	02:13:14
	And the IT was granted.	02:13:22
	Now let's see.	02:13:26
	Next page.	02:13:30
	We have more new payment obligations. The agreement added an automobile convoy fee for each vehicle convoy from the port with a	02:13:32
	limit of 50,000 vehicles annually.	02:13:39
	On the 10th day of every month, the port was to pay $1.00 for each vehicle convoyed. Beginning January 1, 1993. This amount	02:13:46
	increased by $0.25 every 3rd January 1. The current payment should be 375 per vehicle.	02:13:54
	However, at the start of each year, the port is entitled to assert a credit against future payments in the amount of $0.25 for	02:14:04
	every $1.00 paid of automobile convoy charges.	02:14:10
	The city and the port were to agree on routes and days for convoys, and the port was to pay for related traffic control.	02:14:17
	This agreement also places restrictions on the amount of cargo and vehicle traffic from the port, and those are listed in Item 8A	02:14:26
	through E.	02:14:31
	And you can see those like 71.1 million revenue tons of cargo excluding liquids and then the next one is no more than 71.1 million	02:14:37
	gallons of liquid excluding liquid pumped from a pipeline.	02:14:44
	No more than 11,640 average light vehicle trips per day.	02:14:51
	No more than 788 average heavy truck trips per day and the port exceeds these limits. It must reduce operations to below the	02:14:57
	thresholds or prepare a supplemental ER environmental impact report to take all action to mitigate environmental impacts.	02:15:06
	All right, let's go to the next page.	02:15:16
	On September 30th of each year, the Port is to provide audited financial statements verifying the gross operating revenues for the	02:15:20
	preceding year.	02:15:25
	The number of automobiles can void the preceding year and the total cargo for the preceding year.	02:15:30
	Now, Section 12 includes comprehensive land use provisions and changes to the development and building standards for the Dole	02:15:38
	project. Section 12 also contemplated a discontinuation of the southerly rail service.	02:15:45
	New tenants or tenants who renew a lease after the effective date of this 1987 agreement must cease using existing vessel	02:15:53
	bunkering or fuel oil storage facilities and design new facilities which may not encroach on residential or commercial areas.	02:16:01
	Excuse me, adjacent to the port.	02:16:12
	Section 13 contemplates construction of a new central gate that should be gated, should not be gauge new central gate and mandates	02:16:17
	that all pedestrian and vehicle traffic using the Clara and Scott Streets Gate cease with limited exception.	02:16:25
	And the port must provide the city with records to confirm the total cargo for the port.	02:16:35
	If the city monitors traffic to and from the port, the city has to share those reports annually with the port.	02:16:41
	The port is to establish a noise abatement program in accordance with the city's Noise Impact Mitigation Program.	02:16:49
	And sections 15 provides.	02:16:57
	That during times of water shortage, the port will be prohibited from selling water to any entity or person other than to vessels.	02:17:03
	First question, the word convoy.	02:17:17
	It's not defined. It's not defined. Do we know how it is being utilized now? I mean, do we get a record showing the amount of car	02:17:21
	that we're supposed to get? A record showing the amount of cars, correct, or convoy vehicles based upon the agreement, the the	02:17:28
	strict language of the agreement, I can't tell what the term convoy means. Is convoy one car? Is it 2? Is it more than two? It's	02:17:35
	just an undefined term.	02:17:43
	And how does that relate to?	02:17:51
	What I understand is happening now, which is multiple cars being placed on a truck and moved out of the port to another area. So	02:17:55
	this is one of those undefined terms that as your lawyer, I find problematic and just.	02:18:04
	I don't have the answer to it because there's nothing in the record that would indicate that anybody to find that term.	02:18:14
	But we're supposed to get an accounting of the amount of vehicles convoy, correct?	02:18:22
	We get a monthly invoice that lists the total number of vehicles that we are receiving payment for. It doesn't define, but it's	02:18:28
	not telling us how they went about accounting the convoy versus that's not included in the invoice.	02:18:36
	Right. And so I'm sorry, hold on, one more question #14.	02:18:46
	Does the port produce the city? Just sorry, does the port provide the city with a cargo record?	02:18:53
	Similar, we receive a monthly invoice that has, we received one with the number of vehicles and we received one with with that	02:19:02
	information, but it it doesn't give detail and how it was arrived at or anything like that. So.	02:19:11
	OK, I'm done with my questions.	02:19:23
	Thank you.	02:19:26
	So what I find interesting is that when the port.	02:19:29
	I remember this because I was just graduated from high school. In 1981, the port decided to bring BMWs into the Portawan. Even	02:19:34
	they're all excited. They came to the city and said hey, we're going to bring cars in and we're going to pay you.	02:19:40
	And then So what I'm wondering is when?	02:19:47
	They started bringing cars into the naval base.	02:19:51
	And they clearly decided when those cars leave on an auto transport truck, they're they're not a convoy. Is that what we've? I'm	02:19:55
	pretty sure I've learned that no, that's not a convoy. Read the agreement.	02:20:00
	Like OK.	02:20:07
	So I can't answer that question, Councilmember, because the term convoy.	02:20:08
	Is not defined in the agreement.	02:20:14
	OK. And so it's back to like the formula with the 1983 agreement?	02:20:17
	Do we? OK, so did.	02:20:23
	When vehicles were going.	02:20:26
	To the Navy base, did they ever come to say, hey, we're now going to do 50 acres of vehicles on the Navy base and.	02:20:30
	We didn't update our.	02:20:37
	Make a change to any agreement on that? Not that I'm aware of. OK, thank you.	02:20:39
	Yeah, so.	02:20:47
	Reading some of the this this here I guess for clarity too. If we're going to clarify convoys, I think we should clarify.	02:20:50
	Cars. So when we say cars, is it?	02:21:01
	Because in some invoices by tonnage, by weight. So I think just we need clarity on.	02:21:04
	Is it weight or is it per car? So if we're going to ask for clarity, we should basically fix that language also.	02:21:13
	And that may be like Joan had started off saying that the purpose of this is to be educational. And so a next sort of step can be	02:21:23
	those questions that the council is identifying. If you identify those, then we can do our own research. We could also contact the	02:21:31
	port and make sure we all have the same understanding. So that might be a good next step. And so.	02:21:39
	We'll start tracking sort of those questions and that that can be.	02:21:48
	Something we do moving forward.	02:21:55
	Yes, Councilmember 16, we went through a severe drought period.	02:21:58
	And I'm wondering, has 16 ever been in play?	02:22:04
	Because I'm, it's really because I know that during the drought, I mean, we're all rationing water. Remember that It was tough.	02:22:09
	So it says.	02:22:15
	During.	02:22:17
	Times of water shortage.	02:22:19
	I'd add that to our list of questions. Yeah. And I think that term water shortage, I was going to say that's complicated. Even,	02:22:22
	you know, we've had water restrictions, but that might not actually be a a water shortage. So I don't, Joan and I will give the	02:22:29
	default answer that none of neither of us know what happened in 1983 or in 1987.	02:22:37
	For the record, I was not born yet in 1983.	02:22:46
	Come on.	02:22:51
	But so like we're trying to answer these very like strictly with like what's on paper that we can read. We have theories about why	02:22:52
	things have happened and things like that. But I think having this discussion is good because we can follow up and make sure that	02:22:58
	we have understanding on what's happened. That's right. There's a lot of these questions that at this point we just don't have	02:23:04
	answers to. But you're taking note of tracks that I can look at and read, try to decipher them in my own mind, come up with	02:23:10
	questions.	02:23:15
	Umm, my job tonight is to educate and refresh your recollection.	02:23:23
	On these agreements.	02:23:28
	And the next one is actually the easiest one of the bunch. The first modification of the 83 agreement dated in 1988 and it removed	02:23:31
	the requirement to widen Panoma Rd. So we can now get on to.	02:23:38
	I'm sorry but.	02:23:49
	OK, again, I'm trying to learn SO.	02:23:51
	The port recently established that temporary lot at Perkins and Saviors Rd.	02:23:55
	Looks like there's thousands of cars there.	02:24:02
	Few, 1000.	02:24:05
	Which, that's a convoy, right? I think everyone agrees that. Are those cars counted as a convoy? We don't know that.	02:24:09
	I don't know. OK, I think it depends on how they got there. But I'm not, I don't want to speak for the port. So I think that's	02:24:17
	something we have to get clarity on. Not according to Webster's dictionary. The the definition of convoy is just a group of	02:24:22
	vehicles.	02:24:27
	So, so it's Convoy 1V under these agreements is, are you counting one vehicle but when they're driving down the road?	02:24:32
	Of vehicles so as a truck, so as a you know all these any kind of transport is a group of vehicles so we're going to find out what	02:24:43
	convoy means in these agreements and how it's been applied and how it's really critical yes.	02:24:52
	How hasn't been implied?	02:25:03
	That's correct, yeah, because there's two sides to it.	02:25:05
	All right, here comes one of the more complicated agreements, which is the 1995 Encel MOU.	02:25:10
	This one came about as the port was acquiring 33 acres of land, the end cell, from the US Navy in a no cost transfer.	02:25:18
	The term of this agreement tracks the 1983 and the 1987 agreements such that it terminates in 2036. The end cell property was to	02:25:29
	be divided into 3 parcels.	02:25:35
	Parcel A was a minimum.	02:25:42
	Of 21 acres and a maximum of 25 acres to be used for expansion of the port.	02:25:45
	Parcel BA minimum of eight acres and a maximum of 12 to be used by the Surplus Land Authority, which is referred here as the	02:25:52
	authority for aquaculture, marine fisheries and maritime related activities. And then there was a parcel CA minimum of eight acres	02:25:58
	and a maximum 12 acres.	02:26:04
	To be used for construction and maintenance of a seawall and waterfront access.	02:26:11
	OK. Next slide.	02:26:17
	Thank you, all right. Parsley was to be managed and funded by the Port. Parcel B was to be managed and funded by the Authority,	02:26:19
	which again is the surplus land authority. Parcel C was to be managed and funded jointly by the City, the Authority and the Port	02:26:25
	by percentage of land under the exclusive control of each entity.	02:26:32
	The MOU created additional payment obligations from the port to the city.	02:26:40
	These included a one time advance payment, base payments, variable payments based upon gross operating revenues.	02:26:45
	And a premium on vehicle convoy fees for exceeding the $50,000 vehicle annual limit pursuant to the 1987 agreement. And there's	02:26:53
	that term convoy again.	02:26:58
	Upon transfer.	02:27:05
	Excuse me of the end cell property. The port is to pay the city $150,000.	02:27:08
	Which must be used for traffic improvements as identified in the 1995 and Self Community Reuse Plan.	02:27:13
	In addition, the port will begin making base payments divided into 3 phases.	02:27:21
	Phase one commences when the full and immediate transfer of the end cell property is completed and results in a port payment of	02:27:29
	$30,000 per year with CPI adjustments annually.	02:27:35
	Phase two commences with the issuance of all governmental approvals and environmental approvals.	02:27:41
	Required for the development permits on the end cell property. Phase two made two payments are $60,000 per year, subject again to	02:27:49
	annual CPI increases.	02:27:55
	Phase three commences upon issuance of certificates of occupancy for substantial developments on Parcel A. During phase three, the	02:28:01
	port shall pay $90,000 annually to the City with CPI increases.	02:28:07
	Base payment variable payment are separate and in addition to the gross operating payments.	02:28:15
	That were identified in the 83 and 1987 agreements.	02:28:21
	This slide shows you the variable payment.	02:28:27
	Percentages based upon gross operating revenues and that this slide is actually right in the agreement itself.	02:28:31
	So you can see if the gross operating revenues were 8 million or less, the variable payment percentage would be 2% and then it	02:28:40
	increases from there.	02:28:44
	Going to 14 million or greater at 3%.	02:28:49
	And the payments for vehicles convoyed remain the same as the 87 agreement.	02:28:54
	However, for every vehicle convoy in excess of the 50,000 vehicle annual limit, the port will pay a premium of $0.50 per vehicle.	02:28:59
	All right, here we go.	02:29:10
	The 1995 End Cell MOU also includes land use provisions for Parcels A and three and waives the fees for any development with the	02:29:13
	exception of environmental mitigation, railroad mitigation, sewer connection, service charges, or other agency exactions, as the	02:29:20
	annual payments are deemed in lieu.	02:29:26
	Now, specific land use provisions for Parcels A and three are as follows, and all of those are listed in my staff report. They're	02:29:34
	on the PowerPoint here.	02:29:39
	And.	02:29:45
	They are basically that the use of the parcels must conform to the end cell Community Reuse plan and Parcel A must conform to the	02:29:48
	VM development concept requires the city and port to implement zoning changes and identify that were identified in the 1987	02:29:55
	agreement.	02:30:01
	All vehicle traffic to Parcels A&B shall be through the central gate, with limited exceptions identified in the 87 Agreement.	02:30:09
	The Southerly rail service.	02:30:17
	Excuse me is to be realigned across the sun kissed site and terminate at the southerly portion of the end cell property.	02:30:20
	The Port City and Authority will jointly cooperate to develop Parcel B into an aquaculture business area and net income from this	02:30:30
	area should be retained by the Authority. The Port City and Authority will enter into a joint use agreement with the US Navy	02:30:36
	regarding the end sell property. The Authority will be responsible for implementation of the Homeless Assistance Strategy and	02:30:42
	specified.	02:30:49
	In the 1995 ends health community reuse plan. OK. So there's a lot. There's a lot here. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Question. We still	02:30:56
	have more to go. I have one more slide. OK, just questions really quick. Any questions where are parcels AB and C located?	02:31:04
	I don't know.	02:31:13
	And have we ever?	02:31:16
	Done any of these things that were supposed to be jointly engaged in? Has this ever do we know?	02:31:19
	So we know certain things have been done, we know certain things were not done. And then there's other things that that we don't	02:31:28
	have any record of if they were done or not. And you know example of the widening of Panama St. we know that wasn't done, but we	02:31:34
	know there is also a contract later on that said we agreed not to do it likewise and we just went through this with the community	02:31:41
	benefit fund to that.	02:31:47
	There are some things that we agreed to do and then four or five years later we hadn't done. And then and then I think both	02:31:55
	agencies just said then why bother? You know, if it, if it we didn't need to do it and it's not done, then we're not going to do	02:31:59
	it.	02:32:03
	So I think that there's kind of this combination of those things, but I think just on this slide that there are a couple things	02:32:08
	that like development of the aquaculture business area. I know that there's been aquaculture, but I don't know if it was done per	02:32:16
	this agreement and with all of those requirements of this agreement. That's something we'd have to find out. Council Member Perez,	02:32:23
	I misspoke at the end of the agreement which is attached.	02:32:30
	As Exhibit 4, right after the signature pages, there is a map. There's a map, Yeah, there's a map. And there's some diagrams that	02:32:39
	would indicate where the respective parcels are. And I apologize for miss speaking. Thank you.	02:32:47
	A few slides ago.	02:33:00
	There was 60,000 payment for partial ABC have we?	02:33:02
	Track those payments or do we have evidence that those payments have been made or?	02:33:07
	It just seems very vague and.	02:33:13
	Honestly, my.	02:33:18
	My eyes were rolling in the back of my head. I'm like, can you please stop? Because, you know, like each one of those points, you	02:33:20
	know, I would like to see some source documentation at least and say, hey, here's what we did, Here's what we got, you know?	02:33:26
	I think.	02:33:35
	The challenge is those payments were.	02:33:37
	Due to be made in 1995 and I don't think we'd have our computer system that has our financial records doesn't go back to 1995. So	02:33:41
	some of this is going to the assumption is going to have to be made that some of these things were done otherwise there would have	02:33:49
	been an issue at some point in that period. But we we can't even go back to some of those records at this point.	02:33:56
	And there was an issue because at later point there was a settlement agreement that would be the next document.	02:34:05
	Is the next contract there was a settlement agreement because there was a dispute as to whether or not the port and the city were	02:34:12
	complying with their respective obligations under the agreements?	02:34:19
	OK. Any more questions so far where we are? OK.	02:34:31
	You can continue.	02:34:34
	Um.	02:34:36
	The last slide on the 1995 and Cell MOU is that there have been 2 addendums.	02:34:38
	To this the addendum number one was added because of exhaustion of reasonable efforts to resolve sand replenishment issues.	02:34:44
	And addendum #2 relates to waterfront improvements and constructions of a lighthouse promenade, and I haven't summarized that	02:34:52
	here.	02:34:56
	Though the maintenance of the seawall and Parcel C is a portion to each of the parties, based upon the exclusive control of each,	02:35:02
	the port may advance any unencumbered funds to cover the authorities pro rata share of the authority at the Authority's written	02:35:07
	request.	02:35:12
	The advance will gain interest at the rate of 6% and may may be amortized over a period of six months.	02:35:18
	And the advance may only occur when emergency repairs to the seawall are necessary during a period when the federal government	02:35:25
	fails to maintain a littoral sediment balance of 1.254 million cubic yards per year.	02:35:32
	And nothing in this in the addendum prevents any party from recovering funds.	02:35:42
	From the federal government and the amount deducted from port annual payments may not exceed the amount owed to the city.	02:35:47
	That concludes my discussion on the 1995 and cell Mou.	02:35:59
	As I mentioned previously, there was a dispute between the city and the port where the city alleged that the port was under	02:36:05
	reporting its gross operating revenues and making insufficient payments under the 8387 and the 1995 End Cell MOU.	02:36:13
	And the city also alleged that the port was making or taking improper automobile convoy credits. This resulted in the 2015	02:36:22
	settlement agreement.	02:36:27
	Under the 1995 Encel MOU, the Port acquired property from the Navy and granted a leasehold interest in Parcels B&C to the	02:36:34
	Authority. The Authority had the right to sublease and enter on Parcel B. There were a number of sub tenants on Parcel B. Part of	02:36:41
	the 25 2015 settlement agreement was to clarify the sharing of gross operating revenues, the vehicle convoy payments and to give	02:36:49
	all of the authorities rights in Parcel B.	02:36:56
	Support Under the agreement, the port obligated itself to be responsible.	02:37:03
	For everything related to Parcel B, the city retains land use authority over all end cell properties. Parcels A&B are now under	02:37:10
	full control of the port.	02:37:15
	And the port is entitled to the whole common trust allocation of the 1995 in cell MO U.	02:37:21
	The port must pay to the City a one time payment of $1,000,100 dollars, $100,000 within 30 days of the transfer of Parcel B.	02:37:28
	Next side please.	02:37:40
	OK. Calculation of gross operating revenues is to be completed in accordance with the 1983 agreement and be identified as total	02:37:44
	operating revenues in the Ports Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.	02:37:50
	This document created the Community Benefit Fund for each year that the Port reports gross operating revenues in excess of 13	02:37:57
	million at the port, including the revenues from Parcel B. The Port will pay the City $100,000 for CPI increases beginning in the	02:38:04
	2015, 2016 fiscal year.	02:38:10
	Each year, the port and the city will mutually agree to determine projects that will benefit the community.	02:38:19
	For which those funds can be used if they cannot agree. The Community Benefit Fund can be unilaterally used as determined by the	02:38:25
	city for shoreline protection, community development, opportunistic endeavors and other projects as agreed.	02:38:33
	1st Amendment to the 1983 Agreement.	02:38:46
	This extended the term from 25 to 27 years.	02:38:50
	From the additional 25 years, so based on all calculations, the 1983 agreement, the 87 agreement, the 2015 settlement agreement	02:38:54
	and the end cell MOU all conclude in March of 2036.	02:39:02
	The First Amendment to the 83 agreement also clarified that the use of the payments to the city.	02:39:11
	Of the.	02:39:18
	Original .2778% of gross operating revenues, it's restricted.	02:39:19
	In a similar manner to the 1.67% revenue sharing in the 1987 agreement.	02:39:25
	Again, this is capital improvements, infrastructure maintenance and the port is to provide the city with its audited financial	02:39:31
	report by December.	02:39:36
	31 of each year.	02:39:41
	Finally.	02:39:44
	Oh, did you want to have questions on this one?	02:39:47
	See a blue footed booby I've got to say hey, there's a blue footed booby. I'm going to give credit to my wonderful assistant Lexi	02:39:50
	for you know, coming up with the the appropriate visuals for this because she told me this was really boring and she wanted to put	02:39:56
	some fancy stuff into it. I had to agree. I'll let her know you you commented did he did anyone have any questions? I don't have a	02:40:02
	question. I had a comment but just about the.	02:40:08
	Parcel I now have Parcel A&B, which is the beachfront property along The Walking path.	02:40:15
	And where the lighthouse is, they sold that for $1.1 million.	02:40:20
	That's that's your comment. OK, great.	02:40:26
	Questions now. No comments. Questions.	02:40:30
	Questions regarding the data that's being shared with us it's it's just too much I mean I'm overwhelmed right now like I'm, I'm	02:40:34
	literally you know overwhelmed and so I do have questions but then.	02:40:40
	Being overwhelmed makes it a little difficult to ask questions. So basically the only this.	02:40:47
	Zero 0.2778 that applies to parcel, ACBD or all of them.	02:40:56
	On this slide.	02:41:06
	Let me go back to that.	02:41:08
	This is an amendment to the original agreement. It's not an amendment to the First Amendment to the 83 agreement. So the 8083	02:41:11
	agreement was at .02778, correct?	02:41:19
	And So what this amendment did, it didn't change that it just, no, it's a different number because unless I wrote it down wrong,	02:41:27
	I, I thought we had .02778 and here right now on this screen it says .277827 cents versus.	02:41:35
	Two cents right? Set a type. Might be a typo on my part. Let me my bad for paying attention.	02:41:44
	Because this was crazy.	02:41:51
	My records show .2778.	02:41:54
	It's .2778. Get into the.	02:41:58
	It's the 87 agreement. Let me go back to the 83 agreement. So again, that's still a question that we have on our list is the	02:42:05
	formula for arriving at that.	02:42:09
	A formula for arriving at that figure. So that question has been asked and it's on our list, so I don't think we need to belabor	02:42:15
	it.	02:42:19
	Any other questions?	02:42:26
	I think it's .2778, but I will double check that. But what this First Amendment did was it restricted those funds that .2778 to be	02:42:29
	used in the same manner as the funds.	02:42:37
	Discussed in the 1987 agreement the 1.67% revenue sharing for capital improvements, infrastructure maintenance, et cetera.	02:42:46
	So that was the purpose of the 1st Amendment.	02:42:57
	To be 83 agreement.	02:43:01
	Which why on earth there was a modification to the 83 agreement and then a first and 2nd amendment? I don't understand the	02:43:03
	verbiage on that.	02:43:07
	Then there was a.	02:43:13
	Second Amendment to the 1983 Agreement.	02:43:15
	To confirm that it all expires on March 13, 2036.	02:43:20
	And with that, I'll take whatever questions you have. I'm not sure I can answer them.	02:43:27
	But we're certainly open to questions.	02:43:34
	So.	02:43:40
	Say brack realignment.	02:43:43
	The footprint of the port. What would What would happen if Portland be shut down? Naval Base Ventura County? Port Wayne?	02:43:46
	Who divvies that land?	02:43:59
	Most likely that would be, you mean if it was similar to like the Air Force Base, like El Toro, they give it, they give it to the	02:44:02
	city was actually involved in the redevelopment and reuse of George and that actually ended up involving an act of Congress.	02:44:11
	So that's where the land would, not where the land would go, but that's who would have jurisdiction over the land most likely. And	02:44:21
	I haven't thought that one completely through, but I am very familiar with the Air Force Base closures because George was just	02:44:28
	about the first one to be redeveloped in California. I'm very proud of that.	02:44:35
	And that took an act of Congress.	02:44:44
	So that's most likely what would happen, but I can't answer that definitively as we sit here tonight.	02:44:48
	Any other questions?	02:44:56
	If nor the question we have public comments.	02:45:00
	Yes, we have public comments. First is Jan Burke.	02:45:04
	Well, I'm a little overwhelmed too. This is thank you very much for putting this together. I know that was a major undertaking, so	02:45:23
	thank you, city city attorney, for doing that.	02:45:28
	So a number of the citizens and the coalition, the one of the reasons we've decided to take this on as a topic of discussion.	02:45:35
	And it's probably even more so now. We're very concerned about the strategic plan, the 10 year strategic plan.	02:45:45
	We have tried to meet with members of the Commission and have not been able to.	02:45:53
	And invite them to join us. We have met with the Kristen, the CEO and Miguel.	02:46:01
	And so we seem to get kind of stonewalled and we went, we visited with the charette that they had, but there was no exchange in	02:46:08
	Q&A.	02:46:12
	And so the question I have had for this master plan.	02:46:17
	Is how big is big enough? What is the goal? A master plan should have a goal.	02:46:22
	What is the revenue goal? What is the volume of the of the amount of transportation of cargo that's coming in from the from the	02:46:28
	port and I can't get an answer.	02:46:34
	And I think that that's an important thing for the city and for our city to in for our constituents here in the city of Waimea to	02:46:40
	understand how does that impact us from a quality of life.	02:46:46
	From an infrastructure, from the resources that we have.	02:46:52
	Traffic, I mean I was just driving down Wanami Rd. last week to my office from Anacapa View Beach Homes to Arcturus which is a	02:46:56
	high traffic area. 15 trucks in 5 minutes just in that one little drive.	02:47:04
	So there's there's definitely a lot of movement going on in addition.	02:47:12
	I have a view of the ocean.	02:47:17
	In my backyard.	02:47:20
	And I see out there too.	02:47:21
	Five boat ships, I should say, out there parked.	02:47:24
	For days at a time. So there's an emissions issue that that also continues to contribute to the quality of life and error.	02:47:29
	For as Greg had mentioned earlier.	02:47:37
	So.	02:47:41
	There's a lot of impact. I believe in growth and I believe as a business owner that, you know, smart growth is good.	02:47:42
	But what we we can't get the answers of what the what the really end goal here is. And I think that.	02:47:50
	There's a lot of.	02:47:56
	Stuff that was just provided today and it is a little confusing and I think we need to to vet it and and really dice it out. And I	02:47:59
	would like to make a suggestion that the two elected bodies.	02:48:06
	Our City Council and our commissioners get together as a whole.	02:48:13
	And have a meeting and let's.	02:48:19
	Get this discussion started.	02:48:22
	Thank you. Thank you.	02:48:26
	Austin Yang.	02:48:28
	I.	02:48:32
	Good evening, Mayor McKinley son and Mayor Pro Tem Lopez and council members step and citizens of this beautiful city. My name is	02:48:37
	Austin Yang. I'm chief financial officer at the port of by Nimi. So if you if I may, I want to clarify a couple things.	02:48:46
	So for example, the requirement for audit report, the old, you know the agreement as senior attorney mentioned, like you know,	02:48:55
	it's September 30th, our deadline, but the new rules, Gatsby rules and regulation require us to have multiple outside report and	02:49:04
	everything pension, open leases, it's virtually impossible for us to provide everything by September 30th, but.	02:49:12
	With that like you know in 2025 agreement.	02:49:22
	We noticed that and we change that back to December 31st. So we've been providing our audio report to the city within the due date	02:49:25
	and that act for contains older you know the cargo commodity by you know by commodity all the cargo reports and everything. So and	02:49:33
	going back to the revenue sharing agreement, there are two kind of revenue sharing agreement, one is based on percentage of our	02:49:40
	revenue.	02:49:48
	Another one is convoy fee.	02:49:56
	So the percentage based revenue sharing is as Councilmember comma questioned 0.2778% per month. So where that number came from,	02:49:58
	right. So I had the same question one time. So I reversed the engineer that when you annualized 0.2778%, it's 3.33%. So I believe	02:50:07
	you know someone back there like 42 years ago.	02:50:17
	Came up with three, three, 3.33%.	02:50:27
	And they divide by by month, so 2.22 point, 0.2778% I believe came from that number. So when you annualize it, 3.30% from the port	02:50:30
	operating revenue goes to the port per 83 agreement, 87 agreement, 1.6%, six, 7% of our total revenue goes to the city.	02:50:43
	And 95 agreement, 3% of our total operating revenue goes to the city.	02:50:57
	That's a percentage based revenue sharing agreement and convoy fee.	02:51:03
	Every cars convoy over city street which means poor car. So you see all new cars on windy mid road right? So 1st 50,000 cars. We	02:51:09
	pay the city $3 and 75% you know, dollars per car.	02:51:17
	And anything over 50,000 cars we pay extra $1.04. So at $4.79 per car. So every year over half $1,000,000 goes to the city as a	02:51:25
	convoy fee. So convoy means to us every cars going convoys over the city street.	02:51:37
	Can I have a three more minutes?	02:51:51
	I know the time is up.	02:51:53
	I think it's typical. This is an agreement related to the port operations and there are questions about it. So I think it'd be up	02:51:56
	to the council to extend that. I'm here to, you know, share some methods on behalf of the portal by Nimi. So here with me, Leticia	02:52:02
	Austin and Maripazakova here.	02:52:08
	With us so.	02:52:15
	We thank the City Attorney for her detailed recitation of the agreement between the City and the Port, including the 2015	02:52:18
	settlement agreement. With one minor exception, we concur in her analysis. The staff report says if there is no consensus on	02:52:25
	project to fund for three successful successfully years, the use of Community Benefit Fund may be used for series of categories	02:52:31
	by.	02:52:38
	Unilateral.	02:52:46
	Action of the city. But the minor exception is we believe the language that the 25 settlement agreement to provide for the city	02:52:47
	and the port to spend 50% each of unused CBF fund. If the CN port cannot agree on how to spend those funds through those CBF	02:52:56
	process for three years in a row. Luckily, the city and the port has not had to use that provision yet.	02:53:06
	And we don't believe that will we ever have to given these.	02:53:16
	Next few points.	02:53:20
	We believe the Port and the City has turned the corner from those times in 2013 and 2014 fourteen that led to expensive	02:53:23
	litigation. And we believe that the 2015 settlement agreement set forth fair and reasonable terms that put to rest once and for	02:53:30
	all the disagreement from those times. The 2015 agreement bring clarity, certainty and predictability about the financial	02:53:38
	relations between the.	02:53:45
	Port with respect to city services at the port such as Rd. improvement and public safety services, which we at the Port genuinely	02:53:53
	appreciate for the benefit of our customers and resident near the port and impact to the city. Most importantly, the 2015	02:54:02
	agreement ushered in and memorialized the new era of collaboration and cooperation between the Port and the city.	02:54:11
	Clearly embodied into the valuable work of Community Benefit Fund as directed by Joint City Port.	02:54:21
	Committee process laid out in step report. The CBF is win win win for Port, the city and the resident we both serve.	02:54:28
	Over the life of the agreement between the city and the port since 1983.	02:54:40
	Approximately $40 million has been deposited into the city's general fund, with approximately about $2.9 million going in most	02:54:46
	recent fiscal year 2024.	02:54:52
	Again, we thank Syria 24 her effort and we appreciate the collaboration and cooperation of the city to through the CBF process.	02:54:58
	Thank you.	02:55:03
	Thank you. Are there?	02:55:10
	Are there any what can we do that?	02:55:12
	Any questions? Yeah.	02:55:14
	Any questions?	02:55:16
	Thank you.	02:55:19
	Austin, thank you for hanging out with us tonight.	02:55:22
	Answer questions as long as you'd like to. You had me at Cotton Boy.	02:55:26
	And I believe you said?	02:55:31
	Convoy is any car that goes down the street.	02:55:33
	Now.	02:55:37
	I would interpret that as OK, so the cars coming out on the auto transport truck from the base is a convoy, but I'm pretty sure	02:55:38
	that's not how the agreement is paid out.	02:55:44
	We paid out based on number of cars convoyed over the city street, individual cars, not on the truck. But you don't see the cars	02:55:51
	that come out on an auto transport truck from the port where they're carrying fifteen cars. You don't see that as a convoy. Is	02:55:57
	that correct?	02:56:03
	Or it's not paid as a convoy. I believe it's not and I believe it should be.	02:56:10
	But that's my opinion. But.	02:56:16
	So. So I just wanted.	02:56:19
	You had me at Convoy. You said every car that travels down the street. You didn't say every car that's being driven individually	02:56:23
	following each other down the street. So I just wanted to clarify that.	02:56:28
	Yes, my understanding is the every car is convoyed over city street individually.	02:56:34
	OK. So I'm just going to ask that we limit our comments and ask questions because we're happy to have you here to answer questions	02:56:41
	for us. So we don't want to.	02:56:47
	You to turn around and leave at any time.	02:56:53
	So questions only.	02:56:55
	Please.	02:56:58
	Anybody have any questions?	02:57:02
	He asked my question. He answered your question already. Good. I had another one.	02:57:05
	OK. So it does that, does that include freight for each car that is is coming out of the port? Is that what is that considered? Is	02:57:10
	that individual car per freight on a train or is that a convoy?	02:57:18
	So if there's twenty cars on a train, how how what is what is the port paying out? My understanding is every cars on city street	02:57:26
	so.	02:57:32
	It's like driven by drivers. So it doesn't include the rail. Doesn't include the rail. It's the nature of the agreement. I believe	02:57:39
	it doesn't include any cargo through the rail. Would it include multiple cars on a truck transport?	02:57:48
	Would that be one car, one item? Or would it would you count the individual cars that are on the truck?	02:57:59
	I need some clarification because you know, I cannot remember top of my head. We can report back to you, you know, with the	02:58:09
	conflation with the, you know, port staff. Thank you. One final question and we'll.	02:58:16
	Get moving on.	02:58:23
	I didn't hear anything about tractors, dump trucks, Volvos, the big things or the oversized loads. Is there any agreement?	02:58:25
	For the special permit loads that have you know, multi axle trailers that need a CHP export, do we get any consideration for those	02:58:33
	types of loads? I believe like you know those high end hobbies like you know we charge tariff rate to our customers and revenue we	02:58:40
	generate 8% of our total revenue goes to the city as a revenue sharing. So we believe that's the fair share of revenue sharing we	02:58:46
	have with the city.	02:58:53
	It's in the 87 agreement.	02:59:00
	Council Member Gama, the reference to trucks, the only really reference that I've seen throughout these agreements is in the 1987	02:59:04
	agreement.	02:59:08
	What about tractors?	02:59:14
	It's again an unidentified term. What do they mean by trucks?	02:59:16
	What about oversized loads, loads that are over £80,000? I'm not seeing that. I think, if I may, I think the report, yeah, I think	02:59:21
	the report, if you read the report, it refers to these heavy duty trucks by weight.	02:59:27
	Not by type.	02:59:35
	Like you have a 50,000.	02:59:40
	Town Vehicle.	02:59:42
	We're not going to describe what kind of vehicle it is. It's it seems their measurements based on the weight of the vehicle.	02:59:44
	Not the type.	02:59:52
	When we get into comments, I'll.	02:59:57
	Would like to make a comment.	02:59:59
	Questions. Yes, so.	03:00:03
	Is my last comment. So when I see a billboard it says like 630,000 cars.	03:00:05
	Coming through the port.	03:00:13
	That doesn't equate to 630,000 cars that we are getting revenue from the city and.	03:00:15
	It sounds like it's not going to match.	03:00:25
	Is that correct?	03:00:28
	I believe this for assessment.	03:00:30
	And then?	03:00:32
	My question my my last question is.	03:00:36
	Can we just get clarification on tonnage?	03:00:40
	Versus per car like when you guys invoice.	03:00:44
	You know your monthly invoice, Can't we just get how many cards were processed? We do have that like you know.	03:00:49
	Annual financial report, which is also available on our website does have all the cargo tonnage numbers information and every	03:00:58
	month the city received four different payment from the port. Each payment will come with the letter stating how many cars	03:01:06
	convoyed over the city street plus what kind of revenue sharing they're getting the city is receiving. So for example.	03:01:14
	87 agreement, 11 point, 1.67% of our total revenue.	03:01:23
	And 95 agreement, we have a 3% of our revenue coming to the port. So each letter specified the specifics about those payment.	03:01:29
	OK. Thank you.	03:01:40
	Thank you. I can just add there. So just Austin, I'll follow up with you after the meeting on some of these items you, you and	03:01:42
	your team and get clarity. And I think just jumping in there because the reference that airport envelope is was referring to as	03:01:49
	some of the reports that we've received will have vehicles by number of vehicles and then others will say tonnage. And it's not	03:01:56
	clear if those are, if it is tonnage or if it's number of vehicles and those types of things, so.	03:02:03
	It's just one of those things on our list to get clarification on. So we'll follow up after today with some some of those	03:02:10
	questions that we can.	03:02:15
	Work together to clarify. Understood.	03:02:20
	Thank you, question. Go ahead comment.	03:02:22
	It is it too.	03:02:26
	Or you just have a comment. Well, I'd just like to make a comment that I think what we've all may have learned here tonight, that	03:02:29
	these agreements are very complicated. They're complex and they cover a very large swaths of time. And I would hope that we all	03:02:35
	could agree to perhaps come together, have conversations that matter and try and simplify our lives. You do a great job, but you	03:02:41
	have difficult agreements, you know, and then we're trying to do a job and we're trying to understand. So maybe hopefully as a	03:02:46
	result of all this, we could all.	03:02:52
	Agree to simplify, come together, have conversations that matter publicly, of course.	03:02:58
	I totally agree with Councilman.	03:03:05
	Great. Is there anything else?	03:03:07
	I think thank you so much. Thank you.	03:03:10
	And thank you, Joan.	03:03:16
	And thank you for the blue footed booby. You know the the blue footed booby has been spotted here in Channel Islands every now and	03:03:17
	then, not often, but it usually resides in the Galapagos Island. She put that in there just for you.	03:03:25
	Madam Clerk, did we have any other comments? And that concludes public comments. Great, thank you. The recommendation, City	03:03:36
	Manager, did you have?	03:03:39
	Well, I was actually just gonna say I think what you were saying, which is there is no specific recommendation. I think we got	03:03:44
	some questions for clarification. So we can proceed with that and get that clarification and provide that information back to	03:03:50
	council. But obviously the council, if the council does want to give any other specific direction, you can do that at this time. I	03:03:56
	have something, Mayor, can I add?	03:04:02
	To the convoy question, I understand Austin's understanding of what that means.	03:04:08
	But I'd like to find out.	03:04:14
	How they came up with that?	03:04:16
	We can, we can find out, we'll ask as part of that is if there's any history to that, if at some point that was defined in, you	03:04:20
	know, any document between the two parties.	03:04:25
	Or if that's just something that evolved over time.	03:04:31
	OK, so the recommendation is just to receive the synopsis of the agreement between the city and the poor.	03:04:38
	City of Port Hueneme and Oxner Harbor and to provide direction and I think that we've done that already.	03:04:45
	All right, is there?	03:04:52
	Motion and a second.	03:04:56
	We don't necessarily need it.	03:04:59
	OK, great. Thank you.	03:05:02
	Um, OK.	03:05:05
	OK. And let's see.	03:05:10
	#11.	03:05:13
	Number. Yes, thank you #11 Item 11 is the 2025 City Council presentation schedule. We're pulling that up now. Here is a visual aid	03:05:18
	for some background I.	03:05:24
	We have prepared based on going back and getting the items that the council regularly puts on agendas or has specifically	03:05:32
	requested. There was an item requested at our last meeting, for example, that's that's on this list.	03:05:39
	And then alternatively we started with those and then also with the items that staff regularly brings forward and sort of tried to	03:05:48
	create a balanced list of items so that there there were some months where we had.	03:05:57
	5 or 6 requests on a meeting. And so we try to balance that out and start with having three presentations or less at each of the	03:06:06
	upcoming meetings. Are each of the meetings scheduled for this year. We wanted to bring that forward as a starting point and then	03:06:14
	give the council the opportunity to identify any additional items, any changes any.	03:06:23
	Modifications to that schedule and so this list is the proposed 2025 presentation schedule.	03:06:32
	We recommend that the Council review it and make any desired modifications and.	03:06:40
	What we would then take that forward and build that into our schedule of upcoming council meetings for 2025. So with that, we have	03:06:49
	the list and we can walk through it, but we recommend council review it and provide that direction.	03:06:57
	I'm so excited that we're going to be in the council meeting on March 17th, Saint Patty's Day.	03:07:09
	Maybe we should have corned beef and cabbage, but.	03:07:16
	Proclamation perhaps?	03:07:20
	I don't know if we've done that in the past.	03:07:22
	We haven't in the past, maybe because the meetings maybe haven't fallen on that day. That's something.	03:07:25
	We could do.	03:07:31
	Make sure you wear green. We would. One suggestion would be when we do, if the council does identify an item, we'd also recommend	03:07:33
	that the council sort of discuss who we would be presenting that proclamation to because we're trying to, as a practice, make sure	03:07:40
	we always have somebody available to accept the presentation or the proclamation. So I'm not sure exactly if there's a group that	03:07:48
	maybe coordinates the local Saint Patrick.	03:07:55
	A parade, for example, So that would be an option that the council could consider. I may not look at, but I am a little bit Irish.	03:08:03
	Grandma.	03:08:12
	Council Member.	03:08:15
	Yeah, before we decide on adding anything to the March meetings, I did have a couple of March.	03:08:17
	Recognitions that I wanted to request the Council to consider.	03:08:26
	March is also Tsunami Awareness Month, it's national and it's National Women's History Month. So if there's room on the agenda to	03:08:32
	include both of those, I would like to recommend.	03:08:40
	Those two, I also wanted to go back to September and ask that we add National Preparedness Month and the 9/11 as we did this year.	03:08:48
	Can you repeat the month I was writing down September, September? Yeah, we did that this year. And I think in previous years we've	03:08:56
	always had a national, we've had had some kind of emergency preparedness.	03:09:04
	Month recognition.	03:09:13
	And then it's also National Hispanic Heritage Month in September.	03:09:14
	And.	03:09:24
	As I mentioned, Tsunami Awareness Month in March, National Women's History Month in March and then May.	03:09:26
	I'd like to add Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month.	03:09:33
	So we've got black hair.	03:09:39
	Black American.	03:09:43
	Heritage, Hispanic heritage and.	03:09:44
	Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage.	03:09:49
	All the diversity diverse groups recognized at some point.	03:09:53
	Those could be added if the Council provides that direction.	03:10:01
	OK. You want to start with the March, so Women's History Month and Tsunami Awareness Awareness Month. Is there a motion and a	03:10:06
	second?	03:10:10
	I'll make the motion to include from.	03:10:16
	For March, the Tsunami Awareness Month and National Women's History Month.	03:10:20
	I'll second.	03:10:26
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	03:10:30
	Motion passes.	03:10:34
	Unanimously.	03:10:35
	This September, September, I would like to make a motion to include.	03:10:38
	National Emergency Preparedness Month and combine it with 9 recognition of 9/11.	03:10:43
	As we did.	03:10:49
	This same.	03:10:51
	This year.	03:10:52
	And then Nash at National Hispanic Heritage Month for September as well.	03:10:54
	I'll need a second.	03:11:01
	Is there I'll 2nd, 2nd?	03:11:03
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	03:11:07
	And then one last one. In May, I would like to make a motion to add Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.	03:11:14
	Is there a second?	03:11:28
	I second.	03:11:31
	May 19th.	03:11:33
	Would be the 19th, yeah.	03:11:34
	OK, all in favor.	03:11:37
	Aye, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	03:11:40
	Can we go to?	03:11:45
	Native American.	03:11:47
	Mom, I saw it.	03:11:49
	We have, there's a couple things I think we add, the council added.	03:11:51
	Native American Heritage Month and then.	03:11:57
	That was day proclamation for February 18th. And then what about Father's Day?	03:12:00
	Father's Day, we do Father's Day, then we have to do Mother's Day and we're doing Mother's Day. So and then Native American	03:12:09
	Heritage Month in November.	03:12:14
	Can we get In Sync with the state and the federal government in terms of.	03:12:21
	Language and recognizing all tribes.	03:12:25
	Recognizing all tribes, that's something that council could choose to do, yeah.	03:12:29
	I just think we, well, I think that's November 17th. That's what that does.	03:12:36
	Right. But if we're going to, so does this mean we're going to have a proclamation?	03:12:41
	Yes, I just want to again make the point that.	03:12:45
	Let's get our language in line with the state and federal government.	03:12:50
	So that we're recognizing all.	03:12:55
	Native American tribes.	03:12:58
	So you could make a motion to. Do I need to make a motion?	03:13:00
	Actually, the language did come from the state and federal.	03:13:05
	So it didn't match.	03:13:09
	Heritage Month.	03:13:12
	The proclamation that we had.	03:13:14
	Didn't didn't state that throughout the proclamation.	03:13:16
	Understand. But I want to make sure that our proclamation recognizes all Native American tribes. Thank you.	03:13:23
	Sorry, All in favor, aye, all opposed.	03:13:35
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	03:13:38
	Anyone else?	03:13:44
	Saint Patty's Day got.	03:13:49
	Dropped I guess.	03:13:52
	Make a motion.	03:13:55
	I mean, I don't know.	03:14:00
	I mean, we're, you know, we're just getting to the point where I have to proclamation for everything.	03:14:02
	Yeah, right.	03:14:07
	OK.	03:14:10
	Excluding the Irish.	03:14:11
	I'm going to wear a green jacket so.	03:14:15
	But I'm going to wear a green jacket.	03:14:20
	OK.	03:14:25
	All right. And so I think we had motions to approve all those, so we'll move forward with this list.	03:14:26
	And.	03:14:32
	Build those into the schedule for 2025. Thank you.	03:14:33
	There is no public comment.	03:14:40
	All right, OK, so we're we'll move to the city manager comments and reports.	03:14:44
	Oh, thank you.	03:14:57
	Too much technology today.	03:15:00
	I'm barely surviving here.	03:15:05
	So we have a just a few slides, a few things we wanted to highlight.	03:15:09
	On some projects that are in progress and that we wanted to let people know about first is this morning we launched and it's on	03:15:16
	our website and social media, but we launched the one of the next steps on developing our.	03:15:24
	Americans with Disabilities Act Self Evaluation and Transition Plan. We are developing a citywide ADA self evaluation and	03:15:33
	transition plan and one of the steps that we're on right now is to do a citywide questionnaire asking everyone, including just,	03:15:40
	you know, anybody in the room here is free to answer. Any member of the public can answer. We're asking for people, people for	03:15:48
	their feedback on.	03:15:55
	How our departments and programs and services are, are, are not accessible to persons with disabilities. So that we're able to get	03:16:03
	kind of that understanding of where we're doing things right and where we, we may be missing things. So that launched today. We	03:16:11
	are in the midst of this self evaluation and transition transition plan. And so we're asking people to give us that feedback to	03:16:18
	help us develop that plan over the next few months. So, so that's available now.	03:16:25
	There's a code here that people could scan to take the survey. You can do it from your phone, it's pretty simple, but or you can	03:16:33
	visit our social media and and get the information there as well.	03:16:39
	Next, this one is a lot more visible. People are probably seeing it, especially out in front of City Hall. We've been working on	03:16:48
	our sewer, one of our main sewer lines being replaced.	03:16:54
	Very old, I think it's 60 year old section of sewer lines that's being replaced and it's a critical section that serves a large	03:17:01
	part of our community. And so there's a little bit of an inconvenience right now because we have some lane closures, but we've	03:17:08
	been happy that we've been able to avoid major St. closures. We haven't had to have major streets closed.	03:17:15
	But there's just some areas where people are, we're asking people to merge into one lane for the time being. That project is	03:17:23
	continuing between now and early April and maybe with some luck, maybe a little bit sooner, but we're working on that now. The	03:17:29
	work is proceeding now. And we thank everybody for their patience as that's going on because it's going to ensure that everybody's	03:17:35
	sewer lines work correctly.	03:17:41
	For hopefully 60 more years to come after that project's done.	03:17:48
	We have, we have some big projects right now and I'll say I'll start with that shout out to public works and our facilities teams	03:17:54
	who are doing a lot of things all at the same time like that sewer line replacement and, and one of the next slides we'll get to.	03:18:01
	But another big one we're doing in partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers and the, the port and the channel ends Harbor	03:18:08
	District is the dredging project, which is the replacement of sand on our, which includes the replacement of.	03:18:16
	On our beach and so we thank everybody because it's a critical project to make sure that the beach is still here. But we, we know	03:18:23
	right now we have closed the promenade from now till about March 1st to allow that work to occur. We know that's an inconvenience,	03:18:30
	but it's another one of those ones where it's a minor inconvenience for a major benefit and and a major project to the community.	03:18:38
	So that project is taking place.	03:18:45
	People can go out and kind of from the edge of the promenade could see some of the work taking place there and hopefully we'll	03:18:53
	have our beach fully replenished in the next couple of months.	03:19:00
	And then?	03:19:09
	Seems like people care more about this than the dredge right now. But the, the all important swing set is being installed at	03:19:10
	Wanami Beach. Probably the question we get more often than any other is when is the swing set coming back? And so people probably	03:19:17
	see it taking shape today. We're we're actually building it this week and the installation is going to take a little bit more	03:19:24
	because we have to install the pad and some and some rubberized material.	03:19:31
	But it's being built as we speak. I think people can see it and we're hearing some excitement about it.	03:19:38
	But we expect it to be ready soon.	03:19:44
	It's probably it's still going to take a little bit to get the pad and the rubberized material and everything, but it'll be ready	03:19:48
	soon and we'll make sure we announce it the the minute it is available, so.	03:19:53
	And then lastly on January 21st, we wanted to just preview that agenda. Here's what we currently have scheduled. We have the	03:20:00
	presentation as noted a moment ago presentation scheduled for the Alaska Flight 261 memorial because this meeting will be about	03:20:09
	four days, I think it is before the the major 25th memorial ceremony. So we'll we'll provide that proclamation.	03:20:17
	On consent, there's a couple of grants that we're trying to work on that will be bringing forward to the council and we'll we're	03:20:27
	expecting to have those on that agenda.	03:20:31
	We also have a public hearing for a special use permit for the, it should say city and Port Community Benefit Fund 5K event	03:20:36
	continuing what we started last year, but getting walking through that and getting the permit for that event.	03:20:45
	And then two business items currently scheduled reviewing the legislative platform and then?	03:20:55
	The Citizen Advisory Commission and Measure you committee appointments.	03:21:01
	And we'll provide more information on those ahead of that, but those are the items currently scheduled for January 21st.	03:21:06
	And that is what I have to ask a question to city manager.	03:21:15
	The 5K event, is that going to be the run for the heart with the heart-shaped metals that we did. We're proposing doing a	03:21:19
	different theme this year and part of that is because it's a community benefit fund project, it's the city and the port working	03:21:27
	together. And so our teams work together and they have a different idea this year and and we'll get into it at that meeting. But	03:21:34
	the one thing I want to note is that last year we were trying to kind of make sure we got it in February and we.	03:21:41
	Having the weather issues and we had to cancel the event a couple times. So that led into one of the discussions was trying to not	03:21:49
	do it in February, which kind of.	03:21:53
	Men, it wasn't heart month or whatever that month is. So so they they looked at a new theme on a new date. So we'll be presenting	03:21:59
	that, but it's the council will review it and approve that.	03:22:04
	Thank you.	03:22:12
	Any other questions?	03:22:13
	OK, thank you. So we'll move to the Council member reports and comments.	03:22:16
	Council Member Perez, I have no reports and comments. December was a slow month for.	03:22:21
	My committees, thank you.	03:22:27
	Councilmember Comma.	03:22:29
	Yes, I was able to spend.	03:22:32
	Several hours with the new director of Ventura County Animal Services. We wanted to take them around the city and introduce them	03:22:35
	to all the different.	03:22:40
	Peculiarities regarding Silver Strand Beach, the Navy base, City of Oxnard, City of Port Wanami.	03:22:46
	And it was a really good.	03:22:54
	Good day Beacon, we had a meeting recently.	03:22:57
	We're at a critical.	03:23:03
	Juncture with beacon in terms of.	03:23:05
	Getting regional projects that matter to the stakeholders of Beacon and of course that means expanding the Science committee and	03:23:10
	looking at another increase on our on our budget.	03:23:18
	But there's there's alternatives 10/15/20 and 50% increase depending on what we want it to get out of Beacon and.	03:23:28
	I'm a 100%.	03:23:38
	Convinced that.	03:23:41
	Our our ask of Beacon, if we were to agree to some increase in budget, is to assume the role of our lead.	03:23:44
	Lobbying.	03:23:56
	Mechanism for maintaining our sand. I mean the.	03:23:59
	You know this every two years we go through this process and you know, we're we're not getting the allotment that we are supposed	03:24:05
	to get. We're getting sand, which is great, but.	03:24:10
	If we at some point we're going to have to have a conversation, the Beacon board needs to be 100% unanimous on any increase. And	03:24:16
	So what what I would need to know from this body is what are our expectations of Beacon? What, what do we?	03:24:24
	What are we willing to pay and what are we expecting return from it? I think they are. We have some great.	03:24:33
	Projects that are going that benefit the whole coastal zone membership of Beacon but.	03:24:40
	Each individual member has its own beach issues.	03:24:46
	And so getting Beacon to work on our issues while at the same time they're working on the Ventura issues, you know?	03:24:53
	A managed retreat at Surfers Point, the dam up there in Mattila Ha and the sand issues and all that so.	03:25:03
	And I just like to leave you with a quote. There's a.	03:25:12
	Person by the name of Dos and he says we vote every day for the world that we want to live in. We must also act and lead by	03:25:16
	example to deliver the world we want to live in and leave behind so.	03:25:22
	And at some point we're going to have to have a discussion here to give me direction as to.	03:25:29
	Where we want to go with Beacon on the funding and what are our expectations? So perhaps I'll.	03:25:36
	We should do it today, but ask for an agenda item on that.	03:25:43
	One of the things that.	03:25:49
	Beacon is continued to work on is trying to reestablish the kelp forest that was devastated by.	03:25:52
	By El Nino and the reason why that's important to us because kelp helps us retain sand on the beach and.	03:25:59
	So we're continuing with that. We want to add more professional services so we can get into more technical projects and that are	03:26:06
	regionally focused. In other words, City of Port Huenemes region, regional focuses, dredging, replenishing that beach every two	03:26:12
	years, making sure it's there because it has down coast issues, so.	03:26:18
	And then I just want to recognize Richard Rich Rollins, former mayor.	03:26:26
	You stayed through the whole meeting tonight. We appreciate you. Thank you. And you stayed awake. I think I just woke him up.	03:26:31
	That's it.	03:26:38
	OK. Thank you, Mayor.	03:26:42
	So I have a busy week this week. I am on Wednesday. We finally have a strategic planning meeting planned for RDP on Wednesday and	03:26:47
	then Thursday I will be attending the Navy League luncheon and AWA meeting at 3:00 and B Cog at 4:00. So I've got a busy week and	03:26:56
	next week no meetings planned. We have oh except for the mural debrief.	03:27:05
	On Monday, thank you city manager for finally getting that scheduled. It's I know it's kind of like herding cats trying to get	03:27:15
	everybody's schedule.	03:27:18
	Together and then I've got Skag meeting on the 16th, so I'll have more to report at our next meeting.	03:27:22
	Thank you.	03:27:30
	Mayor Pro Tem.	03:27:31
	Well, I was not on any committees, so I have nothing to report, but I do want to say, John, thank you for the presentation. That	03:27:35
	was awesome. Learned a lot. Austin, thank you for clarifying a few things. Appreciate it.	03:27:41
	Thank you. I haven't had any.	03:27:48
	Meetings this month, they've been all pushed back to February, so I'll start participating again.	03:27:53
	On.	03:28:00
	The 24th of this month, I'll be attending the city selection committee, the county to help fill some county position. So it'll be	03:28:03
	my first time, so I'm excited about that. The end of this month, the 28th through the 31st, I'll be in Anaheim attending the Cal	03:28:09
	Cities Mayor and Council Member Academy.	03:28:15
	And I'm returning home on the 31st, which is the day of the memorial, Alaska 261 memorial. So I'm hoping to be able to make it	03:28:22
	back in time for that, but that's all that I have.	03:28:28
	So we're going to go ahead and move to request for future agenda items.	03:28:37
	Anyone. Council member Gama.	03:28:44
	This doesn't have to be like.	03:28:49
	And quick order, but I think we should have.	03:28:51
	Goals and objective agenda item for Beacon in the city of Port Wanami.	03:28:56
	Again, it doesn't have to be within a month.	03:29:02
	There so but.	03:29:04
	All in favor, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	03:29:08
	Councilmember Hernandez, Yes, I have one agenda item request and that is following the presentations, the public comments today.	03:29:14
	I'd like to request an item on short term rentals based on the information submitted by Paige Lapin.	03:29:23
	2nd.	03:29:35
	Second, all in favor, all opposed.	03:29:37
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	03:29:42
	On that quickly, can I just make sure?	03:29:45
	Are we just at this point there's no direction on it. So is it just an overview of where we are with short term rentals, what the	03:29:49
	issue is, what some of the solutions are that the options we have for solutions for addressing the problem?	03:29:57
	And I think.	03:30:07
	Foundational material has been provided to us through Paige Le Pen and I don't want to get into discussion mode, but could we also	03:30:10
	look at what other coastal cities have done?	03:30:15
	She's got that in her information as well.	03:30:22
	So.	03:30:30
	Umm, Councilman Gama had.	03:30:32
	Proposed parking.	03:30:35
	In the past meeting, I just want to know where it's at because we have residents who are struggling with parking and and it has to	03:30:39
	do with expanding.	03:30:43
	Their driveways, you know.	03:30:49
	Limiting the 40%?	03:30:51
	You know, greenscaping and.	03:30:55
	I think that needs to. We need to bring that up on.	03:30:59
	On the calendar.	03:31:03
	So Council.	03:31:04
	Received a report on sort of a variety of parking issues and then some options that we could analyze. And then council gave the	03:31:08
	direction for us to and the authority to contract with a traffic engineer, parking engineer and, and perform an analysis and then	03:31:15
	bring that back. And I think when it's been two months or so and when we did it, we said we estimated it would be four to five	03:31:21
	months.	03:31:28
	Because it's looking at kind of, it's not just that issue, it's like citywide parking and some options.	03:31:36
	So I know it's in progress because I've got some questions from the engineer about, you know, if certain things would work in our	03:31:41
	city or not. So, so it's in progress, but I'm guessing.	03:31:47
	And I think actually I might have actually talked to the department about, I think we were looking at a date like early like the	03:31:54
	first meeting in March, I think is when we thought we'd bring it back. So, so it's in progress and we'll make sure we we bring it	03:31:58
	back in that time frame. So.	03:32:03
	Great. Councilmember Hernandez, yes. I just wanted to ask before we adjourn if we can close an honor of the 174 injured law	03:32:10
	enforcement officers and those who office the four or five officers who lost their lives as a result of suicide following the.	03:32:19
	January 6 insurrection last year.	03:32:29
	Anything else?	03:32:38
	If not we we adjourn.	03:32:41
	And I can't remember everything you said in memory of the injured and lost lives of the law enforcement officers who?	03:32:45
	Who were killed during Let Me Start Over. Who died as a result of the January 6th insurrection? Great. Thank you. We're adjourned	03:32:55
	is 10/01.	03:33:00
	Thank you.	03:33:06

	Welcome to the City Council meeting Monday, January the 6th. I'm calling this meeting to order. The time is now 630.	00:01:47
	Please stand and join me for the flags loop.	00:01:55
	Ready. Begin.	00:02:02
	Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and.	00:02:03
	Madam Clerk, can we get a roll call? Councilmember Gama here. Councilmember Hernandez here. Councilmember Perez.	00:02:22
	Here, Sarah Pro Tem Lopez here and Mayor McQueen legend here.	00:02:29
	We're going to move to the inspiration and I get to do the inspiration tonight. I'm pretty excited about that being that it's the	00:02:35
	first council member council meeting in the year, so.	00:02:42
	Happy New Year everyone.	00:02:50
	OK so so I just been doing some reflection for myself over the past few months and I'm not one to do.	00:02:52
	New Year's resolutions, but I do try to make some decisions of how I'm going to move forward in the year. So I'm just going to	00:03:02
	share some of my thinking with you on this evening.	00:03:08
	So again, we're all here at the first council meeting of the year.	00:03:14
	So we're standing at the threshold of new opportunities.	00:03:18
	Some challenges maybe and the growth of our for our city.	00:03:22
	January is a time for fresh perspectives, where the lessons of the past year guide us as we chart the course.	00:03:26
	For the future.	00:03:34
	And while again I don't make resolutions.	00:03:36
	I have made him a commitment this year.	00:03:40
	My commitment as it relates to the Council is to not look back.	00:03:43
	Unless it's to learn from the past experience to inform our future decisions.	00:03:49
	To gain perspective on current situations or to understand patterns that might repeat.	00:03:55
	So you might ask why my response would be Google it.	00:04:02
	Google why we should not look back in the past and I tell you there's nothing positive written about looking back and living in	00:04:07
	the past, so it's good to look forward.	00:04:12
	So the Council is not just a body of decision makers.	00:04:18
	We are residents, we are community members.	00:04:22
	We are 5 individuals who experience and deal with some of the same issues along with the residents of Port Hueneme.	00:04:26
	So know that.	00:04:33
	So let's take a moment to reflect on just a few of our possible shared values.	00:04:35
	Progress.	00:04:41
	Accountability.	00:04:44
	And service.	00:04:46
	With just these three principles in mind, let us set our intentions for the year ahead.	00:04:48
	Focusing on the long term health and success of our community.	00:04:55
	So today.	00:05:00
	It marks the beginning of a new chapter, a new year, one filled with possibility, purpose and collective action.	00:05:02
	Together, I'm confident we'll build on the foundations we've established, starting with all the wonderful things our former mayor	00:05:12
	shared with us at our last meeting and as well as the staff.	00:05:20
	The leaders of the city, I have a long list of names and I always say I don't really like to call names. I'd have to say charge it	00:05:29
	to my head, not my heart. I never want to miss anyone, but I will just call a couple of names on today.	00:05:36
	So we're here, but we can't do our job without the city leadership.	00:05:44
	That's our city manager, our city attorney. I see, Commander.	00:05:50
	Albertson here. I see our fire department here, our chief Frederico's here, the Police Department is here, and you, the community,	00:05:56
	you're here. So collectively we can go forward and make this city better.	00:06:04
	And finally, as we begin this first meeting of the year.	00:06:13
	May it inspire us all to collaborate, to innovate and lead with compassion and integrity.	00:06:18
	So let's enter the New Year's with optimism and a renewed commitment to our mission.	00:06:28
	Thank you.	00:06:36
	And with that, we'll move to public comments, any public comments.	00:06:43
	Yes, Becky, Bernie and after Miss Burning will be a Mr. Ross.	00:06:48
	Good evening mayor, Mayor, Pro Tem, council, city staff, audience. I'm here on behalf of RO Guppy Outdoors Tonight. This Saturday	00:06:59
	we're having our rod building session from 12:50. If you have a fishing rod that you need repaired, bring it by and we'll show you	00:07:06
	how to do it.	00:07:14
	Thank you.	00:07:23
	Mr. Greg Ross.	00:07:26
	Good evening, long time resident of Ventura County since 19670.	00:07:37
	Thank you for listening, you have a hard job.	00:07:44
	And I for one, appreciate all of you.	00:07:47
	The city I've lived in, South Oxnard, Thousand Oaks.	00:07:52
	And this city, more than any other I've been in, is very responsive.	00:07:57
	Three nights ago or three days ago we had major graffiti at Market and Surfside.	00:08:03
	I called in, it was done within less than 24 hours and they finished.	00:08:09
	Fix the graffiti. Thank you. We had semi tractor trailer rig parked on market. Doesn't belong there. Sergeant Bates, Sergeant	00:08:14
	Frederica, thank you for being responsive. And they got it out of there.	00:08:21
	This is this is what I really love about this city. Now I want to talk about the port.	00:08:28
	You may have seen this, you may not have.	00:08:34
	This is their 10 year strategic plan.	00:08:37
	I'm going to start off with the most difficult issue, and that is the Page 27 on this strategic plan talks about the rail lines.	00:08:42
	Well, to my knowledge, the rail line running out of the South side, southeast side of the port.	00:08:53
	Is only used once a year for the Banana Festival.	00:09:01
	But they have bigger plans if you read this.	00:09:05
	And it's not something I know caveat emptor, buyer beware, but.	00:09:08
	This is going to disrupt the lives and I know some of you live.	00:09:16
	Out towards Surfside and I live in in a cap of view beach homes.	00:09:20
	But if this, this rail line, if they use it like they're saying they're going to, is really going to disrupt a lot of lives.	00:09:25
	And boy, I'll be the first one at the door to to get my voice heard about this because it's, it's just, it doesn't work for our	00:09:31
	community.	00:09:36
	Ports are a difficult topic.	00:09:42
	And you can see from here.	00:09:46
	How many different recently?	00:09:48
	Different.	00:09:52
	Journalists taking on the ports and the pollution they create. And if you look at all of the West Coast ports, we are by far and	00:09:55
	away the most close in proximity to this port right here.	00:10:02
	And their pollution, we have blacks, black carbon soot on our screens. It's a problem. Their pollution is, is is killing us. We,	00:10:10
	we've had 10 people just in our community die of cancer. Anyway, I, I gave you a little handout. The noise pollution is, is all	00:10:18
	the worse the truckers and the port doesn't respond.	00:10:26
	They are not our friend. They they're not good neighbors. Thanks for listening.	00:10:35
	Jan Burke and then Randall Thomas.	00:10:41
	If I could just mention, well, Jan's coming up that I know the port did recently implement that Bonnet project that they had done	00:10:46
	a presentation on. And so they had offered to come back and kind of talk about that when that was being implemented and kind of	00:10:53
	explain how it works. So that's something that we can request as a upcoming presentation item.	00:11:01
	Happy New Year Mayor, council staff.	00:11:10
	Neighbors.	00:11:15
	I'm going to talk about the port later, but I wanted to just mention that the Whiny Me HOA Coalition has had a number of meetings	00:11:17
	and that we are.	00:11:22
	Bringing to you today the focus that we want to embark on this year for 2025 with the collaboration of the Council and the staff.	00:11:29
	And there are three topics that are that have bubbled up.	00:11:38
	As items that we would like to collaborate on.	00:11:42
	One is public safety.	00:11:46
	Of course, that's an ongoing.	00:11:50
	Matter that we all are concerned about and we greatly appreciate as, as Greg had mentioned, the responsiveness of our Police	00:11:52
	Department. They're doing such a great job.	00:11:57
	In addition, we are going to embark on short term rentals.	00:12:03
	And we have Chairman's for each of these and I'll mention that in a minute. And the last would be the concerns about the Ports	00:12:09
	Master Plan and the growth, the anticipated growth and how that is going to impact or potentially could impact the quality of life	00:12:15
	of our community.	00:12:21
	So Paige Le Pen is here. She is our chair for the short term rentals.	00:12:27
	Randall Thomas is here. If you would both stand up, he is going to be the chair for the port and Mitch Disney. I don't think he is	00:12:33
	here, but Mitch Disney will be our chair for the public safety. He's the one that brought up the concerns about the the homeless	00:12:41
	and the Mandalay Bay Shopping Center.	00:12:48
	So anyway, those are the topics that we're going to come to you with and I believe that Paige has some public comments that she	00:12:57
	will be presenting and we will be back to you.	00:13:02
	Soon. Thank you. Thank you.	00:13:08
	Good evening Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council, city staff and everybody in attendance. I just want to elaborate a little bit	00:13:17
	more on the focus for the port. It's to inspire more collaboration, better and more open communication and conversations so that	00:13:25
	way people can properly get the information that the ports putting out, such as their 10 year strategic plan.	00:13:34
	What's actually going on when it comes to the green energy ideas and implementations that they want to focus on?	00:13:43
	And as well as making sure that we as a city and citizens can see how we can assist you in making sure that our voice is heard	00:13:49
	from the port itself to those poor commissioners and making sure that so you can get a fair deal. And we have a voice when	00:13:57
	conversations really do start happening and getting brought up. Thank you very much.	00:14:04
	Thank you.	00:14:13
	Now we have a written comments.	00:14:16
	The first is from Patti Page, Le Pen. She asked that I read this.	00:14:20
	Port Hueneme is a city of approximately 21,000 residents who are lucky enough to live in a community that still has a residential	00:14:24
	fill. Many of us are concerned that the unregulated conversion of homes to short term rentals will erode the residential fill and	00:14:31
	create an atmosphere like Motel 6. We would like the City Council to consider adding short term rentals to the agenda of a future	00:14:39
	meeting February 3rd. If possible, we also plan to have a town hall meeting to invite all Port Hueneme Res.	00:14:46
	To attend sometime in March if the schedule permits. We would love to have the meeting in the council room. A Redfin article on	00:14:54
	February 14th, 2024 by Lily Katz reported that real estate investors bought 26.1% of low price US homes that sold in the fourth	00:15:01
	quarter. In the past couple of years, several beach cities have experienced the negative consequences of Reit's buying properties	00:15:08
	purely as an investment.	00:15:15
	Investors interested only in maximizing profits are less interested in preserving the structures and communities of their	00:15:23
	investments. Port Hueneme is the only beach community in our area that does not have short term rental restrictions. The	00:15:30
	California Coastal Commission governs these issues. The HOAC Subcommittee on short Term rentals, the STR-SC of the HHOAC, will be	00:15:37
	posting updates on Facebook page HHOAC.	00:15:45
	This is a complicated issue and it will take some time for us to arrive at a plan that meets the needs of our city and our	00:15:53
	residents.	00:15:57
	If this council agrees that we should pursue this issue of City Manager may contact the California Coastal Commission by reaching	00:16:02
	out to Tyler Lydell, a Coastal programs analysts assigned to the City of Port Hueneme. We hope the HOA's and the City can work	00:16:08
	together to decrease the cost of enforcement for the City and the HOA's due to the Davis Sterling Act, HO as have many limitations	00:16:14
	before we can levy fines and the administrative costs of doing so are almost prohibitive. Thank you for your kind attention to	00:16:20
	this matter, Patty Page. Le Pen.	00:16:26
	AC Subcommittee for Short Term Rentals C Ventura County start December 5th, 2024 for additional details.	00:16:32
	The next public comment is from Mary Serrato. Hello, good evening. I am writing this e-mail regarding the council member who is	00:16:43
	trying to get rid of all the good things our city has gained these past two years as well as our for our city seems and feel safer	00:16:49
	than ever. There are a lot more youth involvement. My boys have benefited so much. I and my family are so very thankful for the	00:16:55
	new chief. He has shown care for our community. Our city of Port Hueneme has gained so much with new events and activities for	00:17:00
	youth.	00:17:06
	Family. I surely want to thank him from my family and myself. I feel that our city does need and want city councils who want and	00:17:12
	look for the best interests of our community. Community and city thank you. Here's my contact if needed.	00:17:18
	The next is from Dulce Satterfield. Comment by Miss Dulce Satterfield, a longtime resident of Port Whiny Mean.	00:17:28
	Greetings Mayor McQueen Lashawn and all council members. I'm voicing support for goals identified by Patti Paige Lepen in her	00:17:36
	commentary about short term rentals or STR's, while Miss Lapence talking points reflect the solidarity of a whiny HOA Coalition	00:17:43
	committee. I speak as a family on the wall witnessing repeated pushes by real estate agents to present condominium units close to	00:17:51
	the beach as golden opportunities for stores. I encourage you to address stores as you update your local coastal plan.	00:17:58
	Coordinate with other relevant matters. Please consider lodging, licensing and taxation, and prudent levels of inspection and	00:18:06
	enforcement oversight.	00:18:10
	You can find examples along our coasts of what other municipalities are succeeding with or aiming to improve with regard to STR	00:18:14
	regulation.	00:18:18
	I've looked as far away as Port Angeles, WA, a waterfront city slightly less populated than ours. It's a gateway to attractions	00:18:22
	such as Olympic National Park plus the Black Ball Ferry to Victoria, BC. Port Angeles considered capping total STR's not to exceed	00:18:30
	a certain percentage of housing stock. The vote turned out 4342 percent cap. Although lower cap was initially favored, elected	00:18:37
	officials did not choose an option. Their staff recommended robust public.	00:18:45
	Input helped those officials to find the best way forward in 2024.	00:18:52
	A like a city like Port Angeles is not subject to the policies and processes of a coastal Commission like Port Hueneme is with	00:18:57
	regard to lodging and accessibility. I ask that you not delay in facing STR issues now impacting our community. Those issues	00:19:03
	aren't going away by themselves.	00:19:08
	And I have one final comment from Jeffrey Scarberry.	00:19:16
	My comment is regarding part of the last meeting in December. Apparently a majority group did not want Mr. Gama to be Mayor Pro	00:19:20
	Tem even though he has served on the council for six years. I think the public deserve to hear clear explanation as to why that	00:19:26
	was the case. Those on the Dyess who did not support Miss Hernandez for Mayor Pro Tem appropriately stated their reasoning as a	00:19:32
	process played out. It appeared there may have been some prior discussion by at least a couple of members on that item, which is	00:19:38
	unfortunate as we enter.	00:19:44
	New year, hopefully everyone will work together and be nice. We'll keep being the best interests of the city and its people, the	00:19:50
	number one priority.	00:19:53
	Thank you, Jeffrey Scarberry. And that concludes public comment.	00:19:57
	Thank you, Madam Clerk.	00:20:01
	We'll move to the agenda approval. May I have a motion and a second?	00:20:03
	So moved second.	00:20:10
	Thank you, Madam Clerk. All in favor.	00:20:12
	All opposed.	00:20:16
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:20:18
	Do any members of the Council have any conflicts of interest to disclose for any item on the agenda?	00:20:22
	No, thank you.	00:20:29
	And we'll move on to our presentations.	00:20:32
	1st, we have a recognition in honor of the police chaplain.	00:20:36
	City Manager.	00:20:40
	Thank you. And I'm going to hand it over to Chief Federico, who will.	00:20:42
	Present the recognition of police chaplain Merrick Carter.	00:20:48
	Good evening everyone. We are here tonight to recognize and honor the 25 years of service that.	00:20:53
	Police chaplain Mayor Carter has devoted to our city. Mayor come up, stand next to me. So be all embarrassed and stuff standing	00:21:00
	next to me.	00:21:04
	He's he's not embarrassed. You all think I talk too much like you get the two of us together and there's a lot of talking.	00:21:13
	So Merrick served 25 years of volunteer police chaplain for the the Police Department. But he's one of the people that was here	00:21:21
	when I left over 20 years ago to Santa Monica. And I came back, came home in 2023, and he was still here. So thank you. We used to	00:21:28
	ride with me. We would go to Uncle Hers back when that existed. Yeah.	00:21:36
	That was a favorite breakfast spot for him.	00:21:45
	As our our.	00:21:48
	Police Chaplain. His duties included riding along with officers on routine patrol on various shifts, accompanying police officers	00:21:50
	to assist with notifications of any suicide, death or serious injury.	00:21:56
	This included crisis situations where chaplain was needed in our community.	00:22:02
	I provided counseling within the Police Department, response to stress or family crisis problems visited with sick or injured	00:22:07
	members of the department in their home or the hospital.	00:22:12
	He offered prayers and invocations at special occasions such as explore graduations and various ceremonies.	00:22:20
	He provided practical assistance to victims in the community when needed.	00:22:27
	And he'd pick up the phone 24/7 when we needed him.	00:22:31
	While doing this, he was busy with his day job and other activities. Merrick's currently the character development specialist	00:22:37
	coach for Ventura College football team. He also served as the senior pastor at the Pacific Coast Ministries.	00:22:44
	He received his BA and MA and Biblical studies and his pH D in pastoral theology.	00:22:51
	He and his lovely wife Arlene, I have three daughters and seven wonderful grandchildren. Folks departing from his duties here with	00:22:56
	us will give him more time to spend with family and with his other duties. The man is a very busy life and.	00:23:04
	Lots of things are calling him so.	00:23:14
	With that, I want to thank Chaplain Mary Carter for his 25 years of volunteer service to our Police Department and to our	00:23:16
	community.	00:23:20
	Thank you.	00:23:23
	Let's take a.	00:23:28
	Picture up here they.	00:23:29
	And this is to Chaplain Mayor Carter in recognition of your achievements, contributions and dedicated service to the community.	00:23:31
	Let's go off. Take a picture.	00:23:39
	Chief, I think he was also part of the Salvation Army when he and some of our officers went to 911 as well. So you were you were	00:23:44
	the reason why that happened, I believe.	00:23:49
	You never give a preacher a mic, but.	00:23:56
	I want to thank all of you guys for coming out, especially my church members. I love you. I appreciate it all the officers.	00:24:02
	You guys mean so much to me the.	00:24:07
	Mayor, councilmembers, staff, thank you all so much. Chief Mike Federico, we really appreciate you. And it's been a, it's been a	00:24:11
	long time, a lot of years. I've seen a lot of changes happen through the years and it's been a blessing. But I have to say this.	00:24:19
	I really support the the Police Department. These men and women go through a lot.	00:24:28
	They really do their things that I've seen.	00:24:32
	That I, you know, in a small community like this, you never thought would think some of the things that go on that go on and these	00:24:36
	men and women have to deal with that day in and day out. So I will always support them. And I made it emphatically clear to the	00:24:42
	chief that whatever they need me is something special. And they don't have any other anybody else to come out. They need a pastor	00:24:48
	to come out and talk. I'm always available for you and.	00:24:54
	So that's that's about all I have to say. So thank you all so much. God bless you.	00:25:01
	I could stand on a chair.	00:25:18
	And here's your wife up there.	00:25:26
	And you know what? I almost forgot.	00:25:39
	Thank Arlene, my wife.	00:25:44
	On my side the whole time.	00:25:52
	Times I'll get cold, 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning going out. She was there and she's always been supportive. And I thank God for	00:25:54
	the Bible says when you have a good woman, you got a good thing.	00:25:59
	Thank you so much.	00:26:06
	OK.	00:26:19
	Thank you so much.	00:26:28
	While he's taking his seat, did anyone have any words? Yes, Council.	00:26:34
	Perez, Chaplain Carter, I know you and my husband go way back.	00:26:38
	So I'm just going to say on his behalf, he could not be here. Sergeant Perez, I'm sure he's would. Thank you for all the	00:26:42
	dedication you did for the city, for him.	00:26:46
	I know you're there for him through his own trials, and so thank you for your service to the city and we wish you luck whatever	00:26:51
	you do.	00:26:55
	I don't know if the Bible says when you got a good pastor, you got a good pastor.	00:27:02
	But I sure hope it says that. And the thing I find most impressive about you is he stayed behind the scenes and, and you knew when	00:27:07
	you're needed and you knew that the work that our officers do is very difficult. And there's times where even the toughest of the	00:27:14
	toughest knee to shoulder to to confide in and knowing that you've been there on those dark nights.	00:27:21
	Terrific events that really makes us, me and I'm sure everyone else feel good about the mental well-being of our officers because	00:27:29
	we know it's very difficult, the scenarios, the scenes and the travesty of society that you have to deal with. And so thank you so	00:27:37
	much for being there for our officers and making their mental health a priority. Thank you.	00:27:45
	Pastor, thank you so much for your service to our city. 25 years ago we responded to the crash of Alaska 261 and the chaplain	00:27:57
	program was so instrumental in helping the victims, family members of that crash, the first responders who had to respond to	00:28:04
	horrific scenes out in the ocean and here on on the military base. So thank you so much for your service and all you've done for	00:28:10
	our city.	00:28:17
	Yes, thank you for your 25 years of dedicated service. That is outstanding. I understand chaplain duties as Navy's Navy has their	00:28:26
	own chaplains as well and it's and they're always called it the most critical times. So thank you for your service.	00:28:34
	And thank you for your service, but I'd like to say thank you to your wife as a as a PK, I understand what it is when your spouse	00:28:43
	has to go and take care of other people all the time. And so thank you for your service as well and your family service.	00:28:52
	All right. All right, we'll move on to the next presentation.	00:29:03
	Chief Frederico, yes, thank you. And so the next presentation will be presented by Chief Federico.	00:29:08
	Regarding what we're calling our second phase of developing our culture of Wellness within the Police Department.	00:29:14
	Good evening again everyone.	00:29:34
	Umm, for if you remember, part of the five focus areas I had was employee Wellness and employee Wellness as a priority.	00:29:36
	And even.	00:29:49
	To that note, we as a team put together our vision, mission and values last year and in the values, we are one of the unique	00:29:51
	police departments that amongst our values of respect, integrity, compassion, courage, we also listed employee enrichment and	00:29:57
	Wellness.	00:30:02
	And our definition for that is empowering and motivating employees to grow in a team where none of us are smarter than all of us	00:30:09
	in empowering employees to achieve their best possible health and morale.	00:30:14
	So peer support.	00:30:24
	We were blessed to have a chaplain program in this department for many years, but missing from a a true Wellness campaign within	00:30:27
	the department was a a dedicated peer support team.	00:30:32
	The history and peer support in private industries.	00:30:39
	You will find some in hospitals and trauma centers.	00:30:44
	But history of peer support and law enforcement and fire and other public safety agencies really took off about 20 years ago.	00:30:46
	I think the first time I sat in a stress debrief was in this room after the Alaska Airlines crash.	00:30:53
	And we came together as an organization and brought in a new peer support team in the county, which was Ventura PDS at the time.	00:31:00
	It was a very powerful stress debrief. And that was my first opening to this, this thing called peer support and stress debriefs.	00:31:06
	And so then I went to Santa Monica PD where there was a a well established peer support team. And I had the ability, I got	00:31:12
	recruited onto that team quickly getting there. And then I LED that team for most of my 20 years down there. We became a	00:31:18
	nationally recognized.	00:31:24
	Peer support team. So I knew when I came home here one thing I wanted to implement was a strong peer support team and Wellness	00:31:30
	campaign.	00:31:33
	So that is our history. We had not had one other than our our chaplain support and we did have uses of a contracted psychologist	00:31:38
	to provide services within the department that we contracted with. So.	00:31:47
	Two things we had to do, we had to develop a policy because in the state in recent years we got confidentiality for those	00:31:56
	employees that are peer supporters.	00:32:00
	And we had to make sure we had a policy in place to support the program, support the confidentiality, support the work and the	00:32:05
	efforts of the peer supporters and that people understand what it's there for.	00:32:11
	So the department shows its first two peer supporters and I put it out to the their peers to choose who it was. It just to give	00:32:17
	you an idea of the culture of the organization.	00:32:23
	They picked 2 tenured employees.	00:32:30
	That were also supervisors and that's not normal, but that's what the team chose and they had chose.	00:32:33
	Rokey Lopez Junior and Balthazar Tapia, two people that were looked at as Big Brothers in the organization.	00:32:41
	And that's who the majority chose to be their peer supporters.	00:32:47
	So we put them through a lot of training and we went through a lot this year.	00:32:52
	Going back to what we were facing in the community with storms, to the death of an employee, to some other crisis within the	00:32:58
	department, and they stepped up and they stepped up every time.	00:33:05
	So we contracted.	00:33:16
	Again, we had an outside psychologist that we had allowed folks to go see for services, but I ramped that up. I brought in one of	00:33:18
	the best in the nation and it's the counseling team international. And one thing they offer is confidential sessions. And it is	00:33:24
	being used by your employees. And these sessions are for them and their family members to get through any family crisis or work	00:33:30
	traumas that they're trying to process and deal with. Because folks, if we want compassionate, respectful police employees on the	00:33:36
	streets.	00:33:42
	We have to make sure that we treat everything they see and do to this abnormal job because their their responses as human beings	00:33:48
	is very normal.	00:33:53
	But it's an abnormal job, so they're going to have traumas and we're going to have things that we need to bring to the surface.	00:34:00
	And some folks will need some sessions and some folks.	00:34:05
	Will need just open on site discussions and debriefs.	00:34:10
	So bringing.	00:34:16
	The confidential sessions, they can contact TCI themselves or they can go through their peer supporters.	00:34:18
	And we have a great confidential program with them that funds it at a minimal cost, however.	00:34:24
	We don't know who's seeing who for what, and that's what keeps it confidential. If you want your employees to come forward,	00:34:31
	especially in a law enforcement culture, you got to keep it confidential.	00:34:36
	So on site critical stress debriefs, we've already utilized that too with TCI. We've had some difficult incidents, difficult	00:34:41
	incidents involving children, difficult incidents involving death.	00:34:47
	We can bring in a therapist or psychologist from TCI and they will do an on site debrief with our folks, bring them into a room	00:34:54
	and allow them to open up and talk about it. so-called processing our traumas. So if we process these traumas they don't.	00:35:00
	Linger on us and make us the crusty copper on the street that you don't want to see.	00:35:07
	This is how we process. We get things out and we do it as a, as a team, as a, as a PD family.	00:35:13
	It also tends to bring your teams together.	00:35:19
	Supervisor management consultation, Anyone of us, supervisors, managers can call if we have an employee that we think is	00:35:22
	struggling with something or they're performing great and now they're not. And is it because there's something going on at home or	00:35:27
	they're looking at the job differently or they had a issue with something in the field that they're not processing and we can	00:35:32
	contact them and get some guidance?	00:35:38
	And these things are available 24/7 and then the trainings we can send it to, mindfulness training we can send them to.	00:35:44
	Literally breathing training there is our peer supporters go to a lot, but we have some available for our employees. We are	00:35:52
	looking at things like mobility training.	00:35:56
	So some of the things we did internally to change our environment in addition to bringing TCI and peer support was we	00:36:04
	communications centers, regardless of how busy they are, there are times of the day where they they have that spontaneousness to	00:36:12
	be busy and it's very stressful. So we realize how we move patrol to cover the busy times where the highest volume of calls are in	00:36:19
	order to be an effective response for the community. We also realize we.	00:36:27
	Look at the Dispatch Communication Center to make sure that we are adding staffing where it needs to be so one person isn't having	00:36:35
	the majority of stressful day because one or two people are trying to juggle the most critical points. But we can move some	00:36:40
	staffing around, which we did, to allow folks to get up and walk around in the room, take a break, step out, especially after a	00:36:46
	difficult call.	00:36:52
	We've done a lot of things in the environment. We did not. That's a small station, and it's 50 years old. And after the remodels,	00:36:59
	after the floods, we weren't sure we were ever going to get the gym back that they had many years ago. So we have a lot of needs	00:37:04
	in the new world of law enforcement and technology. And you keep building out a small space. But we pulled it off. We, we, we	00:37:10
	crammed in a small gym.	00:37:15
	And we have some great grant money from the state to spend on just that, employee Wellness.	00:37:22
	So we're buying a Great Wall mounted fitness machine that the team picked out themselves, they researched and then we're also	00:37:27
	going to go to good treadmill with a TV in front of them. So even if a dispatcher wants to take their break and go relieve some	00:37:32
	stress on a treadmill while somebody else is covering the the shift and they take their break, they can do it. And the gym is	00:37:37
	great for those that want to come into work early before traffic and they work out and they jump in the shower and then they go,	00:37:41
	they go.	00:37:46
	In the field to protect you all. However, some of them love to de stress immediately after work.	00:37:52
	Before they go home with their families and they hit that machine and they get all the stress out and they take a shower and they	00:37:59
	drive home and they're great when they walk in the door. So there's a lot of reasons to make sure we have one available for them	00:38:03
	and that it's well equipped and fortunately we have some grant money to spend on that.	00:38:08
	If you also notice that.	00:38:15
	We're almost finished out building out the station after the remodel, after the floods and everything.	00:38:18
	And it is a very, it's a good ergonomic workspace. It's a very open workspace. It's a very friendly environment. Something that I	00:38:22
	learned from Chief Jackie Seabrooks down at Santa Monica was.	00:38:28
	She pointed out to us that we can no longer just accept that a building's 50 years old and you walk in and you got to use duct	00:38:34
	tape to fix patches and stuff.	00:38:38
	If you want people to be comfortable in their workplace, you've got to invest in that workplace. And so we have very comfortable,	00:38:44
	sensible, sensible expenditures, but we've made it comfortable and open workspace.	00:38:50
	Our next steps on our Wellness as we've spent this past year building all the things I just told you, we're going to go into some	00:38:59
	monthly campaigns and that's usually after the holidays, it's a good time to start the nutrition campaign. So like for example,	00:39:04
	for for February.	00:39:09
	All of us can't. We'll be able to present through the campaign, through the month to each other. Who's got some of the best	00:39:15
	nutrition ideas, whether it's the Mediterranean diet, which is taken off right now, whether it's us intermittent fasters, whether	00:39:22
	it's the keto folks, there's, there's all kinds of things out there. And the way I changed my diet and everything was from a	00:39:29
	Wellness program of my former agency. And I started to listen and I got to pick whose was the best and what worked for me.	00:39:35
	Fitness. Now we're going to get that gym up and running, get that equipment and there'll be some fitness challenges.	00:39:43
	And it's it can always be a fun competitive nature, but we might have some fitness challenges amongst the team, but we're going to	00:39:47
	push some great exercises. It doesn't have to be what I call the cult of CrossFit. Honestly, it's like, it's really like this is a	00:39:53
	whole group of people that are everything CrossFit and that's how they live. Well, it doesn't necessarily work for me. I prefer	00:39:59
	the old school method of of.	00:40:05
	Rotating through my machines.	00:40:12
	Timed matter and if you have something that works for you, maybe talk to somebody else about it and get them on your routine. So	00:40:14
	mobility and ergonomics, I've seen great success in mobility training in employees. Every city should look at it for not just	00:40:20
	their police employees, but public works or anybody else. There's a lot of good mobility training out there. I've taken some very	00:40:26
	tenured police officers in my past practices and showing them how they can lay on a mat with a good teacher and show them how a	00:40:32
	tennis ball on the ground.	00:40:38
	Can change their life, Maybe we reduce some of those injuries and reduce some of the strain that we get as we get older carrying	00:40:44
	all the equipment.	00:40:48
	Breathing.	00:41:23
	Is very powerful in trying to teach our folks not just breathing in a stressful situation to control your actions, but just	00:41:25
	lowering your blood pressure at night just at at several times of the day work on some mindfulness breathing. Then there's a whole	00:41:31
	there's several other categories of mindfulness on on.	00:41:37
	What how we spend our days, what we're taking in through our eyes goes back to our nutrition. But there's all kinds of realms that	00:41:45
	we're going to introduce our folks to see what they might take a opportunity to to look into and then as much stress relief as we	00:41:52
	can. And I do plan to send our folks to some.	00:41:59
	Some of our.	00:42:07
	Stress relief, some team building workshops and stuff and some of those will will build out also some stress relief so.	00:42:08
	Understand this has been something we've worked at since I arrived, We've built out a lot, but there's more work to do which will	00:42:19
	be these campaigns over this next year.	00:42:25
	And then thanks to all the support in the city.	00:42:31
	Unofficially, we have a therapy dog in the station and anybody just got the belly rub this guy on the streets or when you run into	00:42:36
	him, he is a true hugger and he immediately reduced the stress when you bring him into dispatch so.	00:42:43
	There's there's a lot.	00:42:51
	There's a lot more to do and we're enjoying it, but honestly, we didn't realize this guy would have the impact that he does in the	00:42:53
	station and in the community with how much love he gives, so that's been great.	00:42:59
	City manager or anything?	00:43:06
	Add to that one.	00:43:07
	All right, folks. Thank you. Questions, any questions?	00:43:10
	All right, folks. Thank you.	00:43:15
	Do you have a question? Hold on just a minute. Really appreciate the risk management 101, identifying, you know, mental health as	00:43:17
	being a key component of a good police force. And then all the things that you're doing, you identified, you're bringing	00:43:23
	resources, and you're not just telling people to suck it up, you know? And yeah, no more of that, right? We're all human. We all	00:43:28
	get affected by these abnormal things. I mean, just for me, reading about some of the things that our police encounters, like	00:43:34
	quite difficult.	00:43:40
	And then one question, is that machine available for council stress?	00:43:47
	No, I think risk management said no.	00:43:52
	Back me up on it.	00:43:55
	Thank you very much. Appreciate. Thank you, Councilmember Hernandez. Thank you, ma'am.	00:43:57
	Thank you, Chief, for your presentation. I noticed that the title of this presentation was the second phase of developing culture	00:44:02
	of Wellness within the Police Department. The first phase was at your peer.	00:44:07
	Your peer employees and then the counseling team that was part of that, too.	00:44:15
	OK. Is there going to be a Phase 3A phase four? Well, it's just where do you want it to take this Wellness program?	00:44:19
	What's your future ideas for that? The vision of the department will be set by the department as we get through that second phase.	00:44:27
	So if they see something else, they want to bring a board. It would be an easy sell to me, but I think once we get through these	00:44:32
	campaigns, they're going to see a lot of what's best practice out there right now. Thank you.	00:44:38
	Go ahead, Mayor project.	00:44:44
	Chief, thank you for your presentation. I do have a question, the peer-to-peer counseling.	00:44:47
	How many officers have actually?	00:44:54
	Participated in that is it's been active yeah several. So we maintain the confidentiality. So I won't give I can't give you an	00:44:57
	exact numbers nor can I give anybody exact topics that were helped through but I can say it has been utilized I mean.	00:45:06
	Some of the officers, if you get to talk to them one-on-one, may open up and tell you how in the first month of implementation, I	00:45:18
	mean the first month, not even like 3 weeks, we did. We did some pretty serious intervention to help folks out and they are a year	00:45:24
	later very healthy, happy.	00:45:29
	Peace officers in your community being compassionate, respectful. We needed some TLC when we had a dispatcher die of cancer we	00:45:36
	lost Ivan and that affect the department greatly and we you know we are one of those high stress injuries where we will always	00:45:45
	home issues will surface whether it's it's your teenage child who.	00:45:53
	Goes to school one day and they find out that their parents, a police officer and then their friends tell them while your dad's or	00:46:03
	mom is the devil.	00:46:06
	Position to be a police officer, which was a huge slap in the face to this industry several years ago, especially when you're	00:46:10
	being compared to something that's happening thousands of miles away. So how do you help that family dynamic heal so this person	00:46:16
	go St. and help people and we have specialists at TCI that deal with children of public safety employees that can come in and go	00:46:23
	identify what's going on and this may be what's causing it.	00:46:29
	We might have somebody that.	00:46:37
	Was married before they got into law enforcement and then we changed. As everybody says, we change. And so we want that marriage	00:46:41
	to last through this career. So they might have needed somebody that specializes in public safety marriages to help them say this	00:46:47
	is how your spouse has changed, but this is what you can do when they get home. There's a whole routine for them. There's a lot of	00:46:53
	tools to use, a lot of tools you can use to make things work when you think this person's changed too much and it's beyond a	00:46:58
	marriage and it's not.	00:47:04
	So and there's just there is always an occasion where we've just seen too much I.	00:47:10
	I will tell you, I didn't have the peer support and stress debriefs is my first ten years as a peace officer here, but I had a lot	00:47:17
	of it at Santa Monica. So I could tell you going back 10 years, so 20 something years on in the job, I'm a field supervisor and	00:47:23
	I'm hearing the drowning baby call come in. It's not one that I had gone to in recent years. It's the ones from the beginning of	00:47:29
	my career that never got processed. We never got help for. We didn't, we didn't open up, we didn't talk about it. Those are the	00:47:35
	ones that come.	00:47:41
	And they're sitting in the back of your brain. But all the other ones that we went to a street, a stress debrief about or we	00:47:47
	talked to a therapist about and they they talked to you about processing it and we made it go away. It's gone. We don't just want	00:47:52
	our folks.	00:47:57
	To survive this career and get to retirement. We want them to thrive in this career and get to retirement.	00:48:02
	You know, it's so there's there's been help there. So but we maintain that confidentiality respectfully, no, it sounds very	00:48:11
	positive. Thank you.	00:48:16
	Yeah. Thank you, Chief. I did have one question and you mentioned the confidentiality, understand that. But in a lot of programs	00:48:21
	there is a level to where it becomes so that it's not confidential anymore, right. So we got a law passed several years ago in the	00:48:29
	state that provides, it's not the full privilege communication that you would have with clergy or lawyer or doctor.	00:48:37
	But there is limited confidentiality. So those matters that become criminal in nature, you begin to lose some of that. So	00:48:45
	obviously that would be.	00:48:48
	Be something that that comes up. But yes, there is some limitation, however, with the psychologist who that's just what the peers	00:48:52
	of orders, but they do have doctors and psychologists that they that they can speak to as well. Thank you. Any other questions?	00:48:59
	If not, thank you so much. Thank you folks.	00:49:07
	We're going to move to our third presentation, City Manager.	00:49:11
	And the third presentation is a proclamation for Martin Luther King Junior Day, and I believe Mayor Pro Tem Lopez is going to	00:49:17
	actually read the proclamation. And then after he does that, I wanted to just kind of give an invitation for the event in Oxnard.	00:49:24
	So we will start with the proclamation.	00:49:32
	So this is the proclamation.	00:49:41
	Martha Martin Luther King Junior Day, whereas on January 15th, 1929, revered.	00:49:43
	Doctor Martin Luther King Junior was born in Atlanta, GA And whereas Doctor King was a transformational leader of the American	00:49:49
	Civil Rights movement and one of the most influential, influential orators for peace, equality and human rights in the world	00:49:56
	history. And. WHEREAS Doctor King is remembered for dedicating his life in an unyielding faith and passion for justice, racial	00:50:03
	harmony by championing the principles this nation was built upon.	00:50:10
	And a strong commitment to his beliefs of freedom, equality, and justice for all. And whereas Doctor King envisioned a society	00:50:17
	where individuals were not judged by the color of their skin, but by the content content of their character. And where whereas	00:50:23
	Doctor King sacrificed his life.	00:50:29
	To spread a message of universal equality and justice that was displayed on by his efforts to in racial segregation and	00:50:36
	discrimination through civil rights disobedience.	00:50:41
	And other nonviolent means.	00:50:46
	Such as heroic leadership in the 1955 Montgomery.	00:50:49
	Bus Boycott. The 195057 Southern Christian Leadership Conference.	00:50:55
	The 1963 March on Washington and the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965 and whereas Doctor King.	00:51:01
	Words continue to resonate with the world today by reminding us of the imperative to continue the fight for justice, equality, no	00:51:11
	matter the opposition. Because the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moment of comfort and the convenience,	00:51:16
	but where he stands at times of challenges and controversy. And whereas people throughout the world continue to be inspired by	00:51:22
	Doctor King's vision and words.	00:51:28
	His strength of character and compassion and his model for peace demonstrates and dialogue and whereas in 1983.	00:51:35
	Doctor King became the first private citizen to be honored with the federal holiday, not just to celebrate his memory, but also to	00:51:42
	preserve his legacy, one that calls upon us all to exercise our moral authority, stand up against injustice, and protect our most	00:51:50
	sacred tenet of democracy. Now, therefore, be a proclaimed that the City Council of the City of Port Hueneme does hereby proclaim	00:51:57
	January 20th, 2025.	00:52:05
	As the doctor Martin Luther King Junior.	00:52:12
	Thank you. And we, we actually had invited the Martin Luther King Junior Committee of Ventura County to attend today and invite	00:52:21
	the, the, our community to the event. But they actually are meeting right now coordinating this event. So we had a little bit of a	00:52:27
	timing snafu, but so they're working hard on this event. But we told them that we'd still get the word out and we'd still invite	00:52:33
	our community to participate.	00:52:40
	And so we have it up on the screen. It is Monday, January 20th. Starting at 8:00 AM there's the Freedom March from Plaza Park at	00:52:47
	5th and C St. in Oxnard that will March to the Oxnard Performing Arts Center. And then at 9:00 AM there's the observance program	00:52:54
	that is going to occur at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center with keynote speaker James Joyce. The 3rd and the sorority speech	00:53:02
	contest winner Sebastian Kempton will be at the observation. I'm.	00:53:09
	Observance program and so the committee made sure they let us know, invite everybody to this event Monday, January 20th, 8:00 AM	00:53:17
	March and 9:00 AM program. So everybody's invited and we'll we'll try to figure out a few other ways to get that information out	00:53:25
	to anybody who maybe hasn't heard about it or isn't watching the meeting, but and we'll present our proclamation to the.	00:53:33
	Committee.	00:53:42
	Between now and then, so.	00:53:44
	Thank you. Thank you, Councilmember Comma.	00:53:46
	Yeah, just over the last several years I've spent Martin Luther King Holiday in Ohio with the Ohio Youth Foundation, and I think	00:53:50
	I'm probably going to be out there again this year. And it's a it's a wonderful.	00:53:56
	A day I just want to make mention that if you don't see me at our event know that I'm with the kids of Ohio. We've developed a	00:54:05
	relationship and the theme out there in Ohio is vitality in community and the quote of Doctor King is marching forward together	00:54:11
	and so I find.	00:54:17
	Wanami beach cleanup.	00:54:26
	Introduced me to these kids and we've had a relationship now for I think four or five years. But it's just wonderful to to to	00:54:28
	participate in any venue where you're focusing on the message and the attitudes and where we are today. And it's hard to to	00:54:36
	believe that when I was born in 1963 that there was considerable.	00:54:43
	Discrimination still occurring in our country and so I'm so proud of the fact of where we are today.	00:54:53
	And how we have look at our diverse group up here and then being able to reach out in the community and participate in.	00:54:59
	In the messaging and the vision of MLK, which should be the vision of all of us. And I believe it is. And I think we're making	00:55:09
	great progress. And I love being a part of this country in this community. So thank you, Doctor Martin Luther King.	00:55:16
	Thank you. And if I may, I'm going to put in a shameless plug for the There's a Speech Expo winner from the Oxnard elementary	00:55:25
	schools who competed at his school and won first place, then competed against twenty other elementary schools and he is the	00:55:33
	winner. So he will be the guest. He's not the guest speaker, but he will be doing his.	00:55:41
	His speech from the speech Expo on that day, so you really don't want to miss that.	00:55:50
	Thank you.	00:55:56
	OK. So we're going to move on to the consent calendar. We will now consider items on the consent calendar, which will be enacted	00:55:57
	in one motion unless Council member has a request to remove an item.	00:56:03
	May I have a motion and a second to approve no item? Thank you Second.	00:56:11
	Thank you.	00:56:16
	Madam Clerk, all in favor? Aye, all opposed.	00:56:20
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:56:25
	Thank you.	00:56:28
	And we will now move on to public. Oh, there's no public hearing.	00:56:32
	Business items.	00:56:39
	Yes, and.	00:56:42
	Deputy City Manager Charles Perez will be presenting the first business item which is related to the City's entry into the Clean	00:56:44
	Power Alliance. And at this point, we have a couple of decisions that the City Council will be making as the last step to enter	00:56:52
	the Clean Power Alliance. So I'll let Mr. Pretz present from there.	00:57:00
	Thank you, City Manager. Good evening, mayor, council members, members of the public.	00:57:10
	As a city manager indicated, agenda item number 8 pertains to the Council selection of a default energy rate with the Clean Power	00:57:16
	Alliance and the designation of a city representative and alternate to serve on the Clean Power Alliance Board of Directors.	00:57:23
	The report includes 3 recommendations for the Council to consider. The first is the recommendation that the Council select the	00:57:33
	Clean Power tier as the default tier for electricity consumers in Port Hueneme.	00:57:39
	The Clean Power Tier utilizes 50% renewable energy sources and offers rates.	00:57:45
	That are comparable to SCE's current rates.	00:57:51
	Rates for energy supplied to streetlights are calculated differently.	00:57:55
	And would increase the city's costs significantly. As such, staff is recommending that streetlight accounts remain serviced by	00:57:59
	SCE.	00:58:03
	Lastly, the recommendation includes the council discuss and take action to appoint a council member that would serve as the city's	00:58:09
	representative on the CPA's board of directors.	00:58:14
	And as well appoint an alternate that would serve in the representatives absence. The alternate may be another council member, a	00:58:20
	member of the public, or member of city staff.	00:58:24
	By way of quick background, March 20th, 2023 the city received a presentation from the Clean Power Alliance.	00:58:32
	And subsequently, the council authorized staff to move forward with a feasibility study to assess the city's ability to join CPA.	00:58:42
	In November of that year, the city adopted an ordinance regarding its intent to join CPA's.	00:58:51
	Joint Powers Agreement and the CPA subsequently held a public hearing to authorize the city's inclusion.	00:58:57
	In March of 2024, the Public Utilities Commission certified that action, allowing Port Hueneme to begin receiving service from the	00:59:04
	Clean Power Alliance. October 2025.	00:59:09
	The Clean Power Alliance offers three different renewable energy tiers. While they each have different price points and amounts of	00:59:18
	renewable energy, all three offer more renewable energy than Southern California Edison.	00:59:24
	The Clean Power tier, which is the tier being recommended by staff.	00:59:31
	Provides energy from 50% renewable energy sources and is offered at the same rate that SCE.	00:59:36
	Offers.	00:59:43
	As noted earlier, rates for streetlights are calculated differently, and in order to avoid adverse impacts to the city's budget,	00:59:44
	staff is recommending that those accounts remain with SCE.	00:59:49
	A key component of the transition to the Clean Power Alliance is public outreach and education.	00:59:58
	The Public Utilities Commission requires that the Clean Power Alliance send 4 written notices to impacted customers to before the	01:00:04
	transition and to after the transition.	01:00:09
	In addition to that requirement, the city intends to work with CPA to utilize various city resources to help spread the word.	01:00:14
	This includes use of the city's website, Facebook and Instagram accounts, the monthly newsletter, Flyers at public counters at	01:00:22
	City Hall and the Community Center.	01:00:26
	Utility bill inserts and training front desk staff to answer questions and educate the public.	01:00:32
	Additionally, the city will coordinate a meeting.	01:00:39
	To be held at Wanami Bay and at least one other community meeting to help educate residents and answer questions they may have.	01:00:42
	One of the benefits of joining the Clean Power Alliance is local control. Each of the participating agencies is allowed to have a	01:00:53
	designated representative on the board of directors.	01:00:58
	The board of directors considers rates.	01:01:04
	Energy procurement and customer programs.	01:01:07
	Board meetings are held every 1st Thursday of the month at 2:00 PM and board members.	01:01:11
	Have the option of participating either in person or virtually at one of four identified locations. The one that's closest to Port	01:01:17
	Hueneme would be the Ventura County Hall of Administration.	01:01:22
	That provides the overview of the staff presentation. We do have representatives from the Clean Power Alliance in attendance. We	01:01:29
	have one physically here and two on Zoom that may be able to answer specific questions the council may have.	01:01:35
	Does council have any questions for staff?	01:01:43
	Councilmember.	01:01:47
	Yeah, I'm not an electrical engineer and I certainly don't know everything, but.	01:01:48
	This is a.	01:01:58
	Really nebulous concept and.	01:01:59
	I'm having buyer's remorse because I don't understand. I understand transmission, I understand batteries, but.	01:02:03
	Are we in the short term, are we OK? But in the long term, when demand increases and the needs for more electricity is upon us,	01:02:13
	are we going to be able to meet that need? And I'm looking at the clean energy representative.	01:02:21
	So we do have Gina Goodhill here from the CPA and Gina, if you are the person to best answer that question, we'd ask you to come	01:02:34
	up. We also have Ted Bernanke and Karen Schmidt on Zoom. So if they're the best people to answer that question, we'd ask that one	01:02:42
	of them. So in follow up to what I just said. So my concern is that as time moves forward that we're locking residents into.	01:02:50
	A higher price for energy down the road and and I'm just wondering if you could help us.	01:03:00
	Understand because my understanding is the transmission lines are going to be the same.	01:03:05
	It's just a matter of where you get in the electricity from and.	01:03:11
	Could there be a time in the future where demand outstrips supply?	01:03:16
	Come up to the microphone.	01:03:26
	Please.	01:03:28
	I was going to say, Councilmember, I'm happy to answer that question, but I will note that our CEO is on the Zoom, so he may be a.	01:03:30
	The best person here to answer that, so I'll let him take that.	01:03:38
	Hi, good evening, Councilman. Can you hear me? Yes, thank you.	01:03:44
	Oh great. So yes, so reliability and and demand is governed by.	01:03:48
	A law in California called resource adequacy. We at Clean Power Alliance are subject to exactly the same rules and regulations	01:03:56
	around reliability and meeting demand as Southern California Edison is. We've met every resource adequacy requirement in the month	01:04:04
	and have never had a problem meeting.	01:04:12
	Meeting demand, our rates have been and remain competitive.	01:04:20
	So I, you know, I'm, I'm pretty pleased with our track record so far over the last seven years in meeting that, that those	01:04:27
	reliability needs and I can assure you that your residents will not there the reliability of their service would not be impacted.	01:04:37
	So are you just is CPA like a broker, the middleman in between where the energy is sourced and then bringing it to our community?	01:04:48
	So yeah, so we, we source our power from private entities.	01:04:56
	In fact, most of the power in California is now owned by the private sector, including most of the power that Edison buys.	01:05:05
	So we are operating in that same competitive market.	01:05:12
	And.	01:05:17
	And will put on as much energy as our entire system demands onto the grid.	01:05:20
	Just like Edison does.	01:05:29
	One further question is as the.	01:05:31
	More and more city managers, Dr. electric vehicles. Anyways, I'm just taking the cheap shot, sorry. But my question is like, let's	01:05:35
	just say the electric vehicle market goes to 50% of all the cars in California. Will we be able to supply that needed energy to to	01:05:42
	power those batteries?	01:05:49
	Yes, Sir. We, we do internal demand forecasts looking at vehicle sales as well as registrations of our customers in our service	01:05:56
	territory. We are predicting a significant amount of increased demand and are planning for it and procuring ahead additional	01:06:04
	energy ahead of time. We also offer.	01:06:11
	Both rates, special rates and programs for our electric vehicle drivers.	01:06:22
	Who also are our customers to get them to, to encourage them to save money by charging at different times of the day when energy	01:06:28
	is clean and cheaper and a more plentiful than certain hours of the day. So we're both doing it at a system wide level, but we're	01:06:35
	also engaging with our customers.	01:06:41
	At the individual level, to help them save money by impacting the time of day that which they charge.	01:06:49
	And actually paying them to to charge it at times of the day when when energy is more plentiful.	01:06:57
	Any other questions? Yes, ma'am. Can we do Miss Hernandez 1st and then we'll come back to you. Thank you.	01:07:07
	Thank you.	01:07:13
	Mr. Peretz for your presentation and thank you, members of CPA, for being here tonight.	01:07:15
	Councilman Gama brought up a question regarding cost of services through CPA, and it's been my understanding that I'm a little	01:07:21
	concerned how this is going to be rolled out to residents because there's a lot of rumors out there about this costing more than	01:07:30
	their SCE charges. And it's my understanding that they may see an increase on their bills in the beginning, but that it will.	01:07:38
	Later on fall off. Is there any truth to that?	01:07:48
	That it will.	01:07:53
	Level off after after time. So depending on what rate a customer chooses or in the case of the decision you're going to make this	01:07:54
	evening about what the default rate is, whether or not the the.	01:08:04
	They would. A typical customer would either save money or pay no more more than they're currently paying or.	01:08:16
	Pay up to 5% more if they were to choose 100% green power. So it really depends on the rate that that an individual customer	01:08:25
	chooses or the rate that you all choose to have as your default. Because the fact of the matter is most customers will go with the	01:08:33
	rate that you all choose. So if you were to choose lean power.	01:08:41
	The typical customer would save 1% on their bills if you choose clean power.	01:08:50
	Uh, they'll pay the same amount and if that you choose 100% green power or they choose 100% green power, they would pay 5% more.	01:08:56
	Those our board last at the end of last year set those rate comparisons and those rate comparisons will stay in effect for at	01:09:07
	least the first nine months of service and after that you all would be involved in setting the the rates for the future.	01:09:17
	With the exception of one year, we've always had at least one rate cheaper than Edison and a customer can always choose to be on	01:09:27
	that rate. Very good. Thank you. Councilmember Press, I have two questions. The first one is related to the cities increase in	01:09:34
	potential costs. If we were to go with it, what is the reason for the significant increase in costs if the city were to opt in for	01:09:41
	the program?	01:09:47
	Yes. So that's just for the.	01:09:55
	The.	01:09:58
	The meters that or the the service for your street lights, all the other.	01:10:02
	Meters for the city are those same build comparisons St. lights are are an interesting long twisted history, but within the Edison	01:10:08
	framework, the street lights get a significant subsidy that we are unable to match and so that's why we generally recommend that	01:10:16
	unless a city has strong.	01:10:24
	Desire to 0 out their carbon footprint.	01:10:33
	That they consider opting them out or not beginning service with them. So Karen has been Karen Schmidt, who's on the line has	01:10:37
	been.	01:10:40
	Talking with your staff about that in order to ensure that there are no additional costs to the city.	01:10:45
	Thank you. And the opt out and opt in option, that's my second question. We know that when we.	01:10:52
	Go into this program. All residents in the city will automatically be opted into the program. How easy? Because I know there's a	01:11:00
	lot of concerns from some residents who may not be interested in sticking with a program. How easy is it for them to opt out? And	01:11:05
	is there a charge for them to decide to do that?	01:11:10
	Sorry, I was. You'd think after six years I would have been able to find the unmute button.	01:11:25
	But I found it so it is very easy to opt out. It can take it takes less than 5 minutes. People can do it either online.	01:11:32
	Or by calling our call center, our call center. So we have a space on our website, they can send an e-mail or they can call the	01:11:44
	call center.	01:11:49
	Via the call center, there's an automatic, you know, interactive voice response. They can do it or they can talk to a Rep. We have	01:11:55
	a sixty person call center here locally. It's not an outsource to any foreign country. It's unionized. It's a highly high	01:12:02
	performing call center. Folks can opt out quite easily.	01:12:10
	And we we generally do not.	01:12:19
	Have trouble with meeting those requests. What about the charge? Is there a charge for resident to decide to opt? There is. There	01:12:23
	is no charge to opt out.	01:12:28
	From CPA.	01:12:36
	After the first 100 and after the 1st 60 days of service, Edison can charge a fee. The current fee is about $0.50 to go back into	01:12:40
	the Edison system.	01:12:47
	After the 1st 60 days, is there a deadline Say we start this program, all residents are opted in. Is there a timeline when they	01:12:55
	have to opt out before they're?	01:13:01
	They're committed to the program or can they opt out?	01:13:08
	At anytime.	01:13:12
	We generally see most opt outs taking place within that first 120 days. When we're noticing generally the first six months, then	01:13:14
	people get used to it and and it remains quite stable.	01:13:20
	But people can opt out at anytime.	01:13:27
	No further questions for me. Thank you. Let's go to Mayor Pro Tem.	01:13:30
	And then we'll come back to you. Thank you.	01:13:34
	So just so the residents are clear, and this is how I'm understanding.	01:13:36
	Just roll out is.	01:13:42
	We're going to provide a base tier for Port Hueneme.	01:13:44
	But the residents do have options of selecting their own tier group. Is that correct?	01:13:50
	Yes, that's that's correct. The the the the base, the tier that you are deciding is for the customer who does nothing.	01:13:57
	OK, so SCE does have a.	01:14:07
	Discounts for people with say.	01:14:13
	Low income.	01:14:18
	You know, the mask for sleep apnea mask or do we have any of those incentives as well? So, yeah, so you're Speaking of the care	01:14:20
	program and the medical baseline program though if, if customers are already on those programs through Edison, they will	01:14:26
	automatically be ported over.	01:14:32
	And they'll get the same discount on their electricity bills that they currently do. OK, last question for people who generate	01:14:40
	their own renewable energy solar panels, is the rates very similar to what SE is offering?	01:14:48
	They are similar. We have two additional benefits for our customers.	01:14:57
	Who have solar panels The 1st is that if they are net exporters of energy over the course of the year we will pay them an	01:15:03
	additional 10% above what Edison pays. We also have a a rebate program for home batteries. So if you already have solar panels and	01:15:12
	you want to add batteries or you're adding new solar panels and you want to add a battery, we have.	01:15:20
	$77150 rebate for a typical for a regular customer.	01:15:28
	$1000 if you're a low income customer.	01:15:34
	That's all. Thank you.	01:15:37
	Councilmember Comma.	01:15:39
	So you just triggered something on me that the city we have, we have solar power here, right? And so are we a net exporter of	01:15:41
	energy?	01:15:46
	The city of Port Hueneme.	01:15:53
	I don't believe so.	01:15:56
	OK. So we're consuming all the solar energy that we produce.	01:15:57
	Yes. And therefore we don't. And we pay an electric bill and we pay an electric bill.	01:16:02
	So have we penciled out the savings like is this?	01:16:08
	Working out for us. So that's where that's one of the reasons why we're recommending the tier we're recommending is because it	01:16:13
	would be anticipated to be the same cost. So no additional, no additional cost, no savings. The council has the options though to	01:16:20
	either choose more renewable at an additional cost or less renewables at savings. But we recommended the middle tier which would	01:16:26
	be more renewable without additional cost, right. And then here's the part that.	01:16:33
	It's a little funky.	01:16:42
	We're we're faced with making a decision tonight which it's pretty clear we we have to exercise our fiduciary responsibility and	01:16:45
	save the city from 365,000 to 500,000. I think it's a no brainer, right. And but by doing that we're opting.	01:16:55
	And I guess I heard that streetlights are complicated, Edison subsidizes, but we're we're we're going to opt out of the program.	01:17:05
	To enjoy savings, we aren't opting out of the program. We are in the program, but we're opting our streetlights out of the	01:17:15
	program.	01:17:18
	Everything else the city has will still be in the program. The very specific streetlight subsidy issue so and the that would	01:17:22
	impact our budget but also impact the taxpayers exactly right. So we clearly.	01:17:31
	Need to go with that. So then I.	01:17:42
	And this is complicated. So again, I'm trying to answer the questions at the ratepayers our residents may have. And I know there's	01:17:47
	a couple out there because I saw a little bit of conversation going on today, so.	01:17:53
	Is every rate pair going to be rolled into this program?	01:18:00
	And then if you want out, you have to opt out, is that correct? OK. And we're being told that it's really easy to opt out, you	01:18:04
	make phone call.	01:18:10
	Or you go on a web page and it's real simple Yeah. And I'll, I'll just make one positive notice that at this point early on, this	01:18:16
	was kind of like a leap of faith. But at this point, every city around us has already joined the the rest of Ventura County, I	01:18:23
	believe all cities in Ventura County have already joined and have already opted in and dozens of cities in LA County and Orange	01:18:31
	County. So if if you have it in your budget to pay 5% more of your electricity because.	01:18:38
	You're gonna go 100% clean energy then go for it. But if your budget.	01:18:46
	Can't handle that and things are tight. Then you could go with.	01:18:52
	The least costly option, which is less than 100% green energy, correct? And one of the points I know that Clean Power Alliance	01:18:57
	used to really highlight that I thought was a good point to keep in mind is right now you don't have any choice without being in	01:19:04
	the Clean Power Alliance. You have Southern California Edison and that's it. With this, you have choices. You have Southern	01:19:10
	California Edison if you don't want to be part of this, or you could opt to.	01:19:17
	Three different tiers within Clean Power Alliance. So it actually is choices. I think the thing that is hard to get used to and	01:19:25
	the the one part that's scary for people is.	01:19:29
	By opting in, everybody moves to it, but then you have those. You actually have 4 choices essentially that you don't have right	01:19:35
	now. So the challenge for the five of us?	01:19:40
	Is to be able to answer questions accurately when they come at us in the public. And that's where I feel we may need a little	01:19:46
	help. I did see some conversation today and I had to recall like, oh, wait a minute, where are we at with this and trying to	01:19:53
	recall what we did. And so can we break it down? Do you have any material for us to give us the.	01:20:00
	The talking points that we could get out on social media and hopefully the five of us could be.	01:20:09
	Not experts, but have be able to answer the basic questions. Yeah. And that's what part of what we talked about with Clean Power	01:20:14
	Alliance was making sure that we get materials to do outreach and and we're looking to try to schedule. I think we're trying to do	01:20:22
	2 community meetings to try to help get that word out too, because the you know, the maybe bearing the lead is.	01:20:30
	If somebody's concern is purely savings, they actually have an option to save money that doesn't exist.	01:20:38
	Without joining, right, And I want to be able to, as a council person, be able to direct them to that path.	01:20:44
	Very easily without.	01:20:49
	Complicating.	01:20:52
	OK, go back to you, Charles wanted to add that the next phase after the council were to take action is to move towards that the	01:20:54
	public outreach and the partnership between CPA and the city. The city would serve as the vehicle. As mentioned before, we have	01:21:00
	many different avenues to to promote the information. But the the resource, the information Gina is, is kind of that is her expert	01:21:06
	area and she can speak a little bit to that. But the the documents, the FAQs, the informational sheets, we would get those source	01:21:12
	documents.	01:21:17
	CPA and distribute that through the city's means.	01:21:24
	And I'll just say briefly, I think Charles covered it really well, but this is sort of the next step before we can really do that	01:21:27
	outreach is the decision you're making today. Once we know the preferred energy option, we'll be able to really launch that	01:21:33
	outreach. And so as as requested, that includes a whole slew of items that we really hope the city can use and that we will use to	01:21:39
	help make sure that people are as aware as possible of this change. So there's talking points that will provide. There's sample	01:21:45
	social media, there's a sample.	01:21:51
	Press release We like to do at least two community meetings, so we really rely on the city and staff to know what those meetings	01:21:57
	look like, whether it's an Earth Day event or maybe a community fair or whatever it is that makes the most sense in the city. In	01:22:04
	addition to that, Charles mentioned there's notices that go out. Those notices not only explain how to opt out, they also explain	01:22:12
	how to opt up if you want to, how to opt down, what the benefits are of Clean Power Alliance. There's fact sheets.	01:22:19
	Frequently asked questions. So really once this decision is made, we are very excited to partner with the city on whatever the	01:22:27
	outreach is that you think best suits the city and really building off the experience of the past 35 cities that we've already	01:22:32
	had. Join Clean Power Alliance.	01:22:38
	Great. Thank you. I think we've heard everyone's questions. Great.	01:22:46
	So there's been some social media chatter can can we make sure that and is it your practice to monitor some of the neighborhood	01:22:54
	chat so that you could?	01:22:59
	Misinformation, misunderstandings in the bud and and because because it came up today on a port when Amy neighborhood group, I	01:23:05
	believe I'm not sure, but I I know Luis Mendez commented. And so basically I just want to make sure that we're looking out for	01:23:12
	avenues to jump in and and nip misinformation in the **** if there is in fact some. Yeah. So once the outreach starts, in addition	01:23:19
	to myself, we have someone who is we have another person, Joe Cabral, who will be specifically working.	01:23:26
	To monitor what's going on, monitor chatter. He lives in Oxnard. It's a very close by. And I'll say, you know, it gets tricky with	01:23:34
	social media, with next door specifically.	01:23:38
	That's something that we really work closely with the council and staff on because only people that live in a particular city can	01:23:44
	see what happens in next door. So if it's chatter on next door, then we work closely with city staff and with council members to	01:23:50
	really monitor that. If it's other types of chatter, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, that we do have access to. But either way, we	01:23:56
	are well versed in making sure that we're looking at sort of what chatters out there and then making sure we have talking points	01:24:02
	to address.	01:24:08
	Great. If there are no other questions, we'll move to public comments.	01:24:17
	Madam Clerk, we have a public comment from Luis Mendez.	01:24:23
	Thank you, mayor, mayor Pro Tem, council members and staff. I'm glad I got to hear all that because now my kind of speech has	01:24:32
	changed with the answers, questions being answered. Just two little things of criticism, I guess to the city, you know, for	01:24:39
	improvement. One, I I don't like and a lot of people don't like the mandatory opt in where you have to opt out. I think to require	01:24:46
	us to go do our homework and go and take steps to get back to where we want, I think is inconsiderate.	01:24:53
	For something we didn't opt to be changed to. So like I said, that kind of changed my opinion a little bit just listening to the	01:25:30
	answer. So I appreciate that. But I just think a little bit more communication and the fluidity of it would be could be better	01:25:35
	received to the community by you guys doing a little bit more work on it. Thank you. Thank you.	01:25:41
	That concludes public comment.	01:25:48
	City Manager, yeah, if I could just note maybe it is helpful to kind of go back. I know the slide had the history, but we had to	01:25:50
	go through a multi step process because.	01:25:55
	The last step was that Southern or Clean Power Alliance had to actually.	01:26:02
	Essentially approve our application to get into the program. And so that's what's been happening over the last maybe seven or	01:26:07
	eight months, maybe I might not be exactly right about that time frame, but that's sort of that awkward pause. And so we had	01:26:13
	talked about joining it in the past. We had talked about what we expected the rates to be, but we had notification from Clean	01:26:19
	Power Alliance.	01:26:25
	During the holidays that we had been accepted in and that we were ready to take the next step.	01:26:32
	And so we are bringing it forward and then I think to our Clean Power Alliance partners.	01:26:37
	Point is, and now we're ready to start getting the information out to people about what those rates are actually going to be here	01:26:43
	in Port Hueneme, but we need to pick our rate to tell people what that default is. So it's sort of it is the process. I think the	01:26:50
	criticism that is fair and I think we all feel this way is.	01:26:56
	The part that probably is going to frustrate people is the automatically being opted in. I wish that didn't have to happen, but	01:27:04
	that is the way it it works from a utility standpoint. So it is just the way it has to happen. We don't have the option to join it	01:27:11
	without opting everybody in. So that's the that's the one drawback at this point with the program. But as we said earlier, 35	01:27:19
	cities have gone through this process. I know Clean Power Alliance at one point.	01:27:26
	Had put out some numbers. I don't think this is anything that shouldn't be repeated, but I think it was something like 90% of	01:27:34
	people don't opt out and so once they get the bill and they see the difference, they are happy with it. So it's nobody likes to be	01:27:42
	forced to do anything but the vast majority of people are staying in the program and are happy with it after it happens so.	01:27:50
	So thank you.	01:27:58
	Thank you, Madam Clerk. Does that conclude the public comments? Yes, thank you.	01:28:00
	So the recommendation is to select the Clean Power tier as the City of Port Huenemes default renewable energy tier with the Clean	01:28:07
	Power Alliance, which based on estimates provided by Clean Power Alliance is anticipated to keep costs at the same level as	01:28:14
	standard Southern California Edison rates to authorize staff to take action needed to exempt the city's state streetlights from	01:28:20
	the Clean Power Alliance due to those.	01:28:27
	Due to those being assessed differently, resulting in an anticipated significant cost.	01:28:35
	And three appoint a city representative and alternate to the Clean Power Alliance board of directors.	01:28:41
	May I have a motion and a second?	01:28:49
	I'll move approval of the recommendation, but do we have to have a discussion on the appointment?	01:28:54
	Now OK.	01:29:01
	We'd recommend, yeah, just including within that an appointment for a representative and an alternate.	01:29:03
	Great. I second.	01:29:10
	OK, so I'd like to throw my name in the hat for being a primary member.	01:29:12
	Of the board for CPA, and I'll tell you why I'm interested. I also chair the Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance. So I think	01:29:19
	it's really important that those two entities tie in. And I'm also able to attend in person the meetings that are held on Thursday	01:29:26
	afternoons at 2:00 in downtown Los Angeles, since I'm already there attending the Southern California Association of Governments	01:29:33
	meeting and I've been encouraged.	01:29:41
	By other cities who sit on the CPA to, to join that group and they said it's much to our advantage to do so in person to and	01:29:49
	attend those meetings in person because there's a lot more value in in the discussions that are had if you're there in person. I'd	01:29:56
	like to 2nd both motions.	01:30:02
	If that's OK.	01:30:10
	So I don't know yeah, I was gonna say a weed would need to decide if we want to have an alternate in BI know that that was.	01:30:15
	Proposal. I didn't know if I didn't catch if that was emotion. Maybe we can. Can we do this? Can we do 2 motions, approve one and	01:30:25
	two and then go to #3 That's a good idea, yes. So is there a motion and a second for number one and two recommendations? 1 and 2	01:30:31
	only.	01:30:37
	So move. So moved. Oh, just for one only. OK.	01:30:44
	Just wanted to so is there a second for one and two, second one and two?	01:30:49
	And Madam Clerk, can we get a vote?	01:30:54
	All in favor for those of one and two. Aye aye, all those opposed.	01:30:58
	Motion passes unanimously. Great. So now we'll go to #3 appoint a city representative and alternate to the Clean Power Alliance	01:31:05
	Board of Directors. I'd like to dominate Councilmember Hernandez to be the primary.	01:31:10
	And.	01:31:18
	I'm not interested in alternate so if anyone is.	01:31:19
	I will nominate you.	01:31:23
	Is there any alternate? Anyone interested in the alternate?	01:31:25
	I will just note to if it's, I know the LA part kind of scares people away. So there is the ability to attend locally at the	01:31:32
	Ventura County Government Center if you aren't able to go to LA. So if that's scaring anybody away that that is there's an option	01:31:40
	there. And can we say that time again, 2:00 first Thursday of the month.	01:31:47
	OK. And.	01:31:55
	And a staff member can also.	01:31:56
	Serve as an alternate could be a staff member could be well some cities of appointed community members who were part of.	01:31:59
	Advocating for the program. So there's there's options. OK, so.	01:32:08
	Mayor Pro Tem has volunteered to be the alternate.	01:32:15
	OK. And with that, can we get a motion and a second for #3?	01:32:18
	Move to approve.	01:32:23
	2nd.	01:32:26
	All in favor, aye. All opposed Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you.	01:32:27
	OK, we'll move on to #9 City Council Liaison Committee appointments for 2025 City Manager.	01:32:36
	Thank you. Yes, the next item is an item we.	01:32:45
	Due annually for each year we review the City Council Liaison Committee appointments. We have a list which we are pulling up here	01:32:51
	which shows last year's list of appointments.	01:32:58
	There are a couple of proposed changes and then the Council will have the option to make any any preferred changes or or	01:33:05
	modifications, but the changes that we recommend are basically based on things like committees that are no longer.	01:33:14
	Used or or if there's been a change in a position like the incoming mayor and mayor Pro Tem for example. So the changes that we	01:33:27
	have identified and recommended were on the City of Port Hueneme and Oxnard Harbor District City Port Committee. The mayor and	01:33:35
	mayor Pro Tem typically serve so we would recommend updating those with our.	01:33:43
	New mayor and mayor Pro Tem.	01:33:53
	For the Southern California Association of Governments, I.	01:33:55
	There, per their bylaws, if a member of the City Council is also a SCAG Regional Council District representative, that member by	01:34:01
	default is appointed to attend and be a voting member. The council has the option to change that if they choose to, but by default	01:34:07
	it's the member so.	01:34:13
	So we've reflected that that would be an option. Council has we had reach has historically been on this list. However, this year	01:34:21
	or last year the council agreed with reach to have reached no longer have a city appointment. So that is recommended to be removed	01:34:29
	from the list. Similarly the landscape design guidelines update committee is project is complete. So we are recommending removing	01:34:36
	that from the list moving forward.	01:34:44
	And then we noted that the Clean Power Alliance is newly added and we will update that with the appointments that the council just	01:34:52
	made. And so those are the changes that are recommended due to, you know, some other change, but.	01:35:00
	Each year the council could also discuss and decide whether there's just any desire to make any change or to alternate.	01:35:09
	On agendas, our committees. So with that we've pulled the list up and we can go through it as the council desires, but we	01:35:16
	recommend the council discusses and identify any changes.	01:35:24
	Can I can I suggest that we start from the top of the list and just go down and discuss them that way?	01:35:36
	Great. Thank you.	01:35:43
	Yeah, I'm very comfortable with the continuing on with Beacon.	01:35:45
	I'm on the executive committee.	01:35:50
	And we have a lot of exciting changes coming up I would like to discuss a little later. And then I'm also California Joint Powers	01:35:53
	Insurance Authority. I'm also OK.	01:36:00
	Let's go ahead and finished and so I.	01:36:07
	So the alternate is council member, Yeah, I'd like to comment on.	01:36:11
	I'd like to make a motion that we switch the alternate and primary for Beacon. I've sat has an alternate for six years now and I	01:36:16
	even has an alternate. I've helped in organizing the annual sand summits and.	01:36:25
	Participated in meetings and following what's going on and I think just in the spirit of rotation, I would like the opportunity to	01:36:35
	serve as primary for Beacon.	01:36:40
	So I'd like to make a motion to.	01:36:46
	To do that.	01:36:49
	I need a second.	01:36:55
	Any other discussion about Beacon?	01:36:58
	Before we take a vote.	01:37:00
	Can we have a discussion?	01:37:03
	OK, so.	01:37:07
	Are not that I want to jump, but are you willing to surrender another primary in order to get to to jump to a primary?	01:37:08
	Surrender another primary? Well, another committee. It just depends because some of the committees are organized such where it may	01:37:19
	not, a surrender may not make sense.	01:37:25
	I just don't want to be unfair with the committee appointments, want to make sure that everybody gets a turn right.	01:37:32
	And, and I there's a lot that goes into deciding whether or not you can serve on the committee. You know your schedule, you know,	01:37:43
	can you make them? Can you attend the meetings if you're working full time?	01:37:49
	There's transportation issues involved, so.	01:37:55
	We've never really we've as much as we try to balance it out, we also have to consider that some people.	01:38:00
	Cannot carry as many committees as others because of their work schedule or for other reasons.	01:38:07
	I have a comment.	01:38:14
	Yeah, go right ahead, I think.	01:38:15
	So what's there? Not a motion.	01:38:47
	Were we at on beacons? This is a discussion and Madam Mayor, just may I say before we actually take a vote on a motion, I know	01:38:50
	this one is a little bit different. If we can just call for public comment, let's do that. And I will say sorry, but there are no	01:38:56
	public comments. I just wanted to state.	01:39:02
	Great. Thank you. Thank you.	01:39:10
	I'm done. So you're done. Did you have anything to say, Councilmember Comma I.	01:39:13
	Pink Councilmember Hernandez made a motion to nominate herself.	01:39:18
	Was that what happened and I didn't hear a second?	01:39:24
	I think at this point we weren't having a discussion. Yes, she called for a vote. OK, I still haven't heard a second.	01:39:29
	All right. Are you are you still serving as the alternate? I hope so, Yeah, yes.	01:39:46
	Any other discussion on Beacon? I would like to say that has an alternate on Beacon and because of my involvement in helping with	01:39:52
	the sand summits and other planning issues, I'd like to make sure that I.	01:40:00
	Councilman Gama includes me in those discussions because I was excluded last year. Don't think that's appropriate for an	01:40:09
	alternate, but I am on the executive committee with Beacon and so.	01:40:14
	You know the alternate is to fill in when the primary can't be there. It's not.	01:40:20
	It's defined differently for Beacon.	01:40:25
	OK, well, just I don't know what that means.	01:40:28
	You attend most of the meetings, so as far as I'm concerned, you don't have a problem in chiming in when you feel like it. So I	01:40:33
	don't see any need to even change the way we've been operating because you participate in the meetings as a alternate.	01:40:40
	OK, OK, great. Thank you. So for for Beacon, Councilmember Hernandez has agreed to stay after the alternate got Councilmember Gama	01:40:49
	as their primary. Is there a motion and a second?	01:40:56
	I motion second.	01:41:07
	Can we get a vote please?	01:41:10
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	01:41:11
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously. Great. So let's move to CJ Pia, Currently I.	01:41:15
	Councilmember Gama is the primary and our former Council Member Martinez was the alternate.	01:41:24
	You have.	01:41:34
	Councilmember Gama, is that something that you something that you want to continue with? Yes, I am a associate in risk management	01:41:35
	and I really appreciate the CGPI and the programs that they bring. It is a little difficult assignment because their meetings are	01:41:41
	in La Palma and however.	01:41:47
	It's a real smooth operation. There's 126 members and so.	01:41:56
	If I can't make it to the La Palma meeting that it's there's always a quorum. So but they do bring good programming that's	01:42:03
	available to all the council members and so strongly encourage everybody to participate. Great. And it looks like that's once a	01:42:10
	year. And so is there anyone else anyone would like to serve as the alternate?	01:42:17
	As altered, great, I'll move.	01:42:26
	2nd.	01:42:30
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	01:42:34
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:42:37
	And so city, city Port Standing Committee, customarily, yeah.	01:42:41
	And so we'll go to the Clean Air Alliance Board of Directors. We've just done that.	01:42:48
	That's resolved.	01:42:55
	OK, economic development.	01:42:56
	Collaborative.	01:42:59
	That primaries Councilmember Perez and the alternate was Martinez.	01:43:01
	And that is third Thursday, 3/30.	01:43:08
	August and December, so it looks like oh, they're dark. August and December, so that's.	01:43:13
	3rd Thursday.	01:43:20
	I also serve on the executive committee for that as well.	01:43:22
	We need an alternative. Is there an alternate volunteer for an alternate?	01:43:28
	And that's third Thursday.	01:43:34
	I concern.	01:43:39
	3:30 PM.	01:43:43
	OK, great. That's Lopez.	01:43:44
	Your project motion.	01:43:47
	Move to approve second.	01:43:50
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:43:54
	Great Nexus Federal Outreach and Advisory Council.	01:43:59
	Councilmember Perez, is that something you want to continue with?	01:44:04
	Sure, if there's nobody else interested.	01:44:07
	And there's it looks like there's a Monday 2nd Tuesday, 2:00 PM via Zoom.	01:44:11
	And there's two annual meetings.	01:44:16
	I'd like to nominate Mayor Pro Tem Jess Lopez.	01:44:19
	Due to his military experience, I think he'll have something to bring to the table.	01:44:24
	So I want to leave that up to him because I know he's still employed. And this is at 2:00.	01:44:30
	And so some of these may be more difficult. Yeah, that's just me.	01:44:36
	There's only really other than that I the RDP is what I'm interested in, so I'm going to pass on the federal outreach and	01:44:41
	advisory.	01:44:45
	Fake it for now.	01:44:51
	Is there a motion for Councilmember Perez? So moved. Well, I'll do the alternate. Oh, you won't do the alternator. I'll talk about	01:44:52
	that. I'm sorry. Yeah. Council Member Hernandez.	01:44:57
	Sorry about that. Can we get a motion in a second?	01:45:05
	Motion.	01:45:08
	All in favor, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:45:12
	The next one is Gold Coast Transit. I'm.	01:45:18
	Serve as a primary. I'm currently the chair, so I'd like to remain on that one. Move to continue and then.	01:45:23
	Alternate is Council Member Hernandez. You want to continue with that Gold Coast transit? They don't do their meetings on Zoom, do	01:45:33
	they? No, they do. Yeah. So Wednesdays I'm out because I'm in Pasadena. So I wouldn't be a good alternate for you. OK.	01:45:40
	Unfortunately.	01:45:48
	And so it'd be nice to have an alternate I haven't missed in two years. So if this is one of the ones that I would be OK with	01:45:50
	being vacant.	01:45:55
	Anyone. 10:00 AM.	01:46:04
	If you need an alternate, I can do it.	01:46:06
	But she's got perfect attendance so far. OK, so is there a motion and a second?	01:46:10
	2nd.	01:46:17
	All in favor, aye. All opposed. Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. OK, next one. Port Hueneme Water Agency.	01:46:19
	That is three members and one alternate, 3 council member. It requires 3 council members and an alternate.	01:46:29
	I'll stay the alternate.	01:46:37
	OK. I was hoping you would change with me. I served three years on that committee. So new guy gets the new.	01:46:39
	OK. Yeah, I will. I'll continue with that. I'm good to continue. Yeah. Do you want, do you want to be on that? Thank you.	01:46:47
	And so we'll, we'll, we'll leave it like it is then.	01:46:54
	Well, the third was Martinez, so that, oh, the third was, yeah. So we'd have to have one more. Yeah. And that's, that's before	01:46:58
	council.	01:47:02
	Motion.	01:47:12
	Move to approve.	01:47:14
	2nd.	01:47:16
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:47:18
	The Port Hueneme Housing Authority is all of us.	01:47:24
	That's good. Shall I make a motion?	01:47:28
	We got it.	01:47:31
	Do we need a motion for that?	01:47:36
	No, we'll see Council consensus.	01:47:37
	And so the next one is RDP.	01:47:41
	Like to nominate mayor Pro Tem. I think he wanted to share that.	01:47:45
	Has primary or his alternate primary.	01:47:52
	Do you want to continue as alternate? Sure.	01:47:56
	I'm still on this. Does anyone else want to be the alternate?	01:48:00
	I don't want to pick out people myself. OK, great. Thank you.	01:48:04
	Eyes there motion move through proof second.	01:48:07
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	01:48:11
	Motion passes unanimously.	01:48:14
	About the sister City, yes, I have a comment on the sister City. So the Sister City committee had informed us that they were going	01:48:17
	to request a.	01:48:21
	Similar to Reach separating and not being a city entity. They just haven't officially done it yet.	01:48:27
	So yeah, we would.	01:48:33
	We, we will probably what we can do is we'll bring a consent item like on the next agenda to, to approve that change. Yeah, yeah.	01:48:36
	So the just for everybody's memory, the thing that was holding it up was them getting like a certified as a 501C3 and getting all	01:48:43
	that. And that is now done, I believe. So we should be, we should be able to make that change, right. And then just the background	01:48:50
	is that having 2 council members on a committee kind of creates a little bit of.	01:48:57
	A Brown Act issue in that you know, there can't be collaboration with other council members, so.	01:49:05
	Well, I don't agree with that premise.	01:49:11
	But we we did that on reach and and I think that was the same premise for sister committee.	01:49:14
	Throughout this list of.	01:49:20
	Committees where we've got two people so.	01:49:21
	Yeah, well, the the sister city committee.	01:49:24
	In particular and reach in particular, the request was from those entities that they.	01:49:28
	Wanted to separate and not have a dedicated city spot. If you remember the conversation was they said that they would be open to	01:49:36
	having city representatives who wanted to join it and participate, but it's just the mandatory city spot even if somebody's not	01:49:42
	interested in it didn't didn't really help either entity so.	01:49:48
	So, so, so we could still serve as individuals, as residents, but not as council? Yeah, exactly.	01:49:55
	We'll make that change.	01:50:03
	Let's move down to SCAG. Currently, Hernandez is primary. There is no alternate.	01:50:06
	I have a comment on that.	01:50:12
	So with SCAG, there are multiple Scaggs, like for instance, I'm on the community, Community Economic and Human development.	01:50:15
	Is that on there? Oh, OK. It's gonna be later then. Never mind. This was specifically I think it's the Regional Council, district	01:50:26
	represent. Yeah. The ones that are up here are the ones that are appointed by council. The ones later. The council does not make	01:50:31
	those appointments.	01:50:35
	And.	01:50:42
	And there is no alternate. But this isn't just an annual meeting.	01:50:44
	No, this is the regular first Thursday of the month and they are do require.	01:50:48
	This year that we meet in person so it is once a month meeting.	01:50:54
	And I was initially invited to.	01:51:00
	Serve as the District 45 Rep by Carmen Ramirez and that District 45 includes Port Hueneme, Camarillo and Oxnard.	01:51:04
	Does anyone have a desire to serve on?	01:51:16
	Great. Can I get a motion and a second for what?	01:51:21
	Hernandez being primary.	01:51:26
	So moved.	01:51:27
	2nd.	01:51:29
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	01:51:31
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:51:34
	Southern California Edison Government Advisory panel Mayor, I'm sorry.	01:51:37
	Sorry.	01:51:42
	Southern California Edison Government advisory panel.	01:51:47
	List Hernandez and it there's no information on meeting on the meeting area. Is that the case?	01:51:51
	We meet as needed, but we do have fairly regular meetings at least once a month.	01:51:58
	So and I would very much like to continue serving on that committee due to the.	01:52:05
	My role on VCR, EA and now CPA. I think all those issues tie in together right? Did anyone else have?	01:52:11
	Would like to nominate Councilmember Hernandez.	01:52:19
	2nd.	01:52:22
	All in favor, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:52:24
	We're move on to V cog Ventura Council of Governments.	01:52:30
	I am. I'm open to giving up the.	01:52:35
	The lead spot, and I think this could be a good one for mayor Pro Tem only because we've been meeting at at Cal State University,	01:52:39
	Channel Islands, which would be really easy for you to get to if you're interested. If not, and if Council member Hernandez would	01:52:46
	like to take the lead role, be fine with me.	01:52:53
	Yeah, I'll do either either alternate or primary vehicle ties right into SCAG, so.	01:53:01
	There's I could be the alternate. OK, awesome.	01:53:08
	Thank you. Second all in favor. Aye, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:53:12
	And Ventura County Air Pollution District advisory, that was a appointed position for Mr. Gama. Yeah, it looks like it's a four	01:53:21
	year term. Yeah. And you know, it's one it's, we only have a meeting when there's a proposed rule change and I think they're done	01:53:27
	with rule changes so.	01:53:33
	I'm fine continuing on.	01:53:40
	And it's appointed so.	01:53:45
	Venture County Animal Service Commission I absolutely love serving on the Ventura County Animal Services Commission and I'm really	01:53:48
	excited to work with the new director that we have we've had a.	01:53:53
	Tumultuous couple years and I'm hoping and our meeting schedule has fallen apart. We really haven't had too many meetings through	01:54:00
	all the turmoil, but looks like we're going to be on track to having a.	01:54:05
	Dynamic. Amazing.	01:54:13
	Director I brought him out here about a month ago, I believe, and I gave him a tour of the area.	01:54:16
	Esteban remember his last name, but anyways.	01:54:24
	Great. Thank you. Any other interest?	01:54:28
	Alternate Council Hernandez. I'm fine. I've never had the opportunity to go to a meeting, so I'm I'm good. I move to nominate.	01:54:32
	2nd.	01:54:42
	All in favor aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. This is a really good team building exercise.	01:54:44
	The VCC.	01:54:54
	I would like to continue on that so moved.	01:54:56
	2nd.	01:55:01
	All in favor, aye. All opposed. Motion passes unanimously.	01:55:03
	Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance District Board.	01:55:08
	There is no alternate, but the primary is Councilmember Hernandez.	01:55:12
	I'm chair also.	01:55:16
	I'd like to nominate her council member Hernanis to carry on.	01:55:19
	2nd.	01:55:22
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:55:25
	Next is the regional sanitation district. I'm currently the primary and council member Hernandez is the alternate.	01:55:31
	Any interest?	01:55:40
	Microphone.	01:55:42
	In.	01:55:44
	When the city clerk gets up, you know you're in trouble.	01:55:49
	Watch out say any interest I'm willing to continue so moved alternate.	01:55:53
	Council Member Hernandez, I'll continue as alternate. I'll make the motion second.	01:56:00
	OK. All in favor, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	01:56:06
	And the last is the muse. Is that the No, it's not the last. The Museum governance committee.	01:56:14
	I'm currently sitting on that and the alternate is Mr. Gama.	01:56:20
	Are we going down the same path on those other two?	01:56:25
	Potentially we haven't been asked. I think actually if I remember right, I think the council, when the museum reopened, the	01:56:31
	council actually gave the assignment to the museum committee to.	01:56:36
	Come back with their proposed sort of governance structure. So potentially it's sort of in their court to come back and tell us	01:56:42
	how they want to do it. OK, So we could pass on that one. Yeah, I think just leave it alone for now and then we'll figure it out.	01:56:46
	Thank you.	01:56:51
	Next Air pollution Control Board. I'm appointed to that.	01:56:57
	And so I'd like to continue, of course. So move. And Madam Mayor, this these you don't have to.	01:57:02
	Great. We're good. Yes, thank you. Good. They're not appointed by Council.	01:57:08
	So is that it? I think that is it.	01:57:15
	The ones down there, OK, great. Oh, I do have one that I need to run by the City Council because according to our policies and	01:57:19
	procedures, the council.	01:57:24
	Needs to approve any outside committees that we may be a member of and at the same time represent the city, and that would be.	01:57:29
	The League of California Cities, I'm second vice president this year for the coastal counties a group. And the reason I I think	01:57:43
	it's important because there are some budgetary costs for travel and hotel associated with that assignment.	01:57:53
	OK. My, my initial thought is that we can get that information and bring that back as a as an item. It could be a potentially	01:58:06
	consent item if it's simple versus I think doing it under this kind of existing committee appointment potentially. Yeah, it could	01:58:14
	be maybe a little bit of a Brown Act issue. So we can bring that.	01:58:21
	To a future council.	01:58:30
	Because it's not agendized. So theoretically if a member of the public.	01:58:34
	Wanted to speak about the League of Cities committee. They don't know. I see they don't have the opportunity to do that now. So,	01:58:38
	so I think we can get that information from you and the League of Cities and bring it back very good.	01:58:43
	OK, I think we have.	01:58:50
	Completed that task and we have plenty of motions and Georgiana will have fun typing the minutes.	01:58:52
	OK, so we'll wait a minute. We didn't do water agency.	01:59:01
	Port Hueneme Water Agency with.	01:59:06
	Martinez is the primary those.	01:59:08
	PH Washington actually makes those appointments for the AWA. Oh, OK, very good. Thank you.	01:59:14
	OK, OK.	01:59:21
	Thank you. So we will move to agenda item number 10, Synopsis of agreements between the City of Port Hueneme and Oxnard Harbor	01:59:24
	Port.	01:59:29
	Will staff please present the report?	01:59:35
	Thank you, Madam Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, council members, audience, staff.	01:59:38
	This is really an education item.	01:59:44
	To bring our newest Council member up to speed with respect to these agreements, and some of them are very complicated, as well as	01:59:47
	to refresh the recollection of the remainder of the Council.	01:59:54
	Primarily, there are four separate agreements. There's a modification to one agreement and there are two amendments to the	02:00:02
	agreements. And the stated purpose of all of these agreements is to offset the costs of improvements and maintenance of city	02:00:07
	infrastructure due to the ports activities.	02:00:13
	I've listed those agreements out on the 1st slide. There's a 1983 agreement.	02:00:19
	A 1987 agreement. First modification to the 1983 agreement.	02:00:26
	An MO UA Memorandum of understanding between the city, the port and the surplus property authority regarding the transfer of the	02:00:31
	end cell, maybe?	02:00:36
	Naval Construction Engineering Laboratory property, which has two addenda. There's a settlement agreement, settlement and release	02:00:41
	agreement between the city and the port dated October 5, 2015. There's a First Amendment to the 1983 agreement and then a Second	02:00:48
	Amendment amendment to the 1983 agreement.	02:00:54
	What's interesting and needs to be kept in the back of your mind is that all of these agreements to a certain extent are still in	02:01:02
	full force and effect. There have been some modifications, but I'll, I'll review that with you and all of the agreements conclude	02:01:08
	right about March 2036.	02:01:14
	OK, the 1983 agreement.	02:01:24
	The original term of this agreement was for 25 years and it really focused on truck and vehicle traffic impacts on the	02:01:28
	infrastructure and the maintenance and road repair costs and as well as increased security concerns.	02:01:36
	So the city obligations under this agreement are reconstruction and widening of Pomona, Panama Rd.	02:01:44
	Maintenance and repair of Pleasant Valley and Port Hueneme roads to ensure full use by the port.	02:01:51
	Providing and maintaining police patrol and investigative services within and around the port.	02:01:57
	City approval of a resolution consenting to the port's acquisition of certain properties.	02:02:04
	And the city is to provide a report each year of these items by September 1 of each year.	02:02:09
	Under the 1983 agreement.	02:02:16
	Be port. In consideration of those actions by the city, the port was to make a payment to the City of 0.2778% of the ports gross	02:02:20
	operating revenues as indicated in the most recent audit and that was to be made by the 10th of every month.	02:02:29
	Remember that agreement is still in full force, in effect.	02:02:41
	I'm really bad with clicker. Thanks the 19th.	02:02:46
	So did I hear you say that that calculation would be done on a monthly basis?	02:02:51
	Yes, under the agreement the payment is to be made by the 10th of each month.	02:02:58
	And then it would be audited.	02:03:03
	I got mixed up because I think he said they're they're.	02:03:07
	Subject to financial review or something?	02:03:10
	Gross operating revenues are based upon a the most recent audit of the port and the port would make a payment of .2778% of those	02:03:14
	gross operating revenues.	02:03:22
	This is not a port an audit by the city. This is the port's own audited financials. But it would do it on a monthly or just	02:03:30
	yearly. Monthly. The payment under the agreement, the payment is to be made monthly by the 10th of each month. But don't we do	02:03:38
	annual? Don't public agencies do yearly audits? That is correct. OK so I'm just wondering how that works out.	02:03:46
	I can't answer that.	02:03:55
	Yeah, my my assumption would be.	02:03:57
	I, I assume that they actually just base it on their month end reports, but then at the end of the year they provide and it's	02:04:02
	probably something John's going to touch on, but at the end of the year they do provide their, per the contract, they're supposed	02:04:09
	to provide their reconciliation via their audited audit statements.	02:04:15
	Their audit documents, I think that's listed in the contract, but I don't expect that they were agreeing to do a monthly audit. It	02:04:22
	just doesn't make any sense.	02:04:27
	So how far?	02:04:38
	Council members.	02:04:41
	Now, how far do you want to go before we start asking questions? Or do you want to notate your questions?	02:04:44
	I suggest we get through the presentation.	02:04:53
	At least, yeah, I think that especially as we get further along, some of the answers are in like the next slide where there's	02:04:56
	modifications. So I'd recommend, I know it's frustrating because we have to wait, but I I recommend getting through the	02:05:02
	presentation and then having the clear picture to ask questions. Well, I just think that if questions come up and we clarify them	02:05:08
	when we keep rolling, you know, because it does.	02:05:14
	When we get to the end of the presentation, there's a lot of information being thrown out, so.	02:05:21
	Anyways, well, whatever they if the majority says, let's just go through it on try and save our questions for later. I'm OK with	02:05:26
	that. If the.	02:05:29
	Yes.	02:05:34
	I'm not saying go through the whole one, but if we could probably hear we're talking about 1983 if we can just hear 1983.	02:05:36
	And then maybe we can stop.	02:05:43
	How do you all feel about that?	02:05:46
	Concur.	02:05:48
	Per per agreement, OK.	02:05:50
	Agreement those questions.	02:05:53
	OK. I think we're on to the 1987 agreement at this point, and I apologize in advance. This really drives stuff.	02:05:55
	Very detailed and these agreements are very complex. The 83 agreement was actually rather simple. Now we're getting into more	02:06:03
	complicated agreements and one thing I've noticed is that.	02:06:09
	In these agreements, nobody was defining terms.	02:06:17
	So in my there's a lot of question, I guess they didn't believe in terms in those days.	02:06:22
	That said, is there any other questions for the 983?	02:06:29
	Agreement. If not, I have a question.	02:06:35
	So in in the 1983 agreement, it does say that on September 30th of each year the port will provide financial statements audited by	02:06:39
	an independent CPA.	02:06:43
	If they're already doing a.	02:06:49
	Audit that's independent.	02:06:52
	I'm not clear why we wouldn't have to ask for another audit.	02:06:55
	Yeah. And I think one of the things that will become clear as we go through future years is that there's probably terms on both	02:07:03
	sides of the agreement that weren't maybe fully met and there's been terms that have changed over that time period. We've talked	02:07:11
	about it with the port at some of the recent joint meetings, but you know, the city didn't really ever follow the practice of	02:07:18
	submitting our report to them by September 1st. And then I don't think we ever got the report from the port by September 30th, so.	02:07:25
	Sort of like, you know, it's just, I think each, each agency just kind of got into a pattern and operated and wasn't honoring	02:07:33
	every letter of the agreement. I think those are things we've talked about with them that, you know, moving forward, we'd want to	02:07:40
	try to make sure either that we correct those things and and address them or that we update agreements when we do update them to	02:07:46
	take out and maybe simplify.	02:07:53
	I think I will say that I think by the end of this presentation, what we'll all say is we should simplify these things moving	02:08:00
	forward because it's layers and layers and layers of.	02:08:05
	Outdated language requirements, etc. So, so in their current agreement we are supposed to provide a report to them by September	02:08:11
	1st. They are supposed to provide audited statements back by September 30th. I don't think that those things ever happen. So their	02:08:18
	end of the year audit we we're not adjudicating that against.	02:08:26
	The invoices that they give us.	02:08:34
	It does not.	02:08:38
	To going back. This is going back 40 years, 42 years At this point, it does not appear to me that it was ever done.	02:08:41
	Yeah, kind of analyzed by by anybody, I think sort of both sides just sent each other invoices and kind of moved on so.	02:08:49
	OK. We're talking about the 83 agreement. Is there any formula that led to the .02778, not that I'm aware of, OK. Is there any	02:09:00
	description how that number came into being in other words?	02:09:09
	No, I council member the this agreement was 40 some odd years ago. I'm not aware of like a staff report in support of it or	02:09:21
	anything of that nature which would provide more detailed information as to how that number.	02:09:30
	UMM was arrived at, right? Because I'm there's just a lot of missing information on that. Then it's just what the contract says.	02:09:40
	Because a lot has changed since 1983 and I was wondering if there's a way we could.	02:09:50
	At least come up with the formulation of that figure. What went into it. I just just.	02:09:56
	You know you'd like to have a.	02:10:04
	What are they called? Not provenance, but.	02:10:06
	Sourcing your source document that says so No, here. Here's how we came up with that number. Unfortunately, Councilmember Gama,	02:10:10
	I'm not aware of the existence of any such document and all I have is really just the contract. Can I just add that this is the	02:10:17
	education, so we're learning now, so we shouldn't be trying to talk about fixes yet.	02:10:24
	We're not there yet. Thank you. So let's come. Yeah, thank you. Without talking about a fix out, I was just trying to understand	02:10:32
	if there was documentation to support the development of this number.	02:10:37
	OK, umm.	02:10:44
	All right, let's go on. Who's got the clicker?	02:10:46
	You got it? OK, 1987 agreement. The 1987 agreement resulted from the port's expansion of operations.	02:10:48
	At the port, through the creation of a second Wharf and the DOLE project, there had also been litigation between the parties	02:10:56
	regarding land use entitlements relating to this port expansion.	02:11:01
	Again, this agreement confirms that the 1983 agreement is still in full force in effect, and this is all set to expire in 2036.	02:11:07
	There were new payment obligations for the port.	02:11:14
	Upon the 366th day following the issuance of building permits to the Port, or 566 days after the issuance of a CFO, whichever	02:11:22
	occurs first, the Port will pay to the City 1.6% of gross operating revenues on the 1st of the month.	02:11:31
	Section 6 of the 1987 agreement restricts the city's use of these funds for specific purposes, along specific routes for the	02:11:42
	truck, truck uses, et cetera.	02:11:47
	Additionally, the gross operating revenues can be used for upgrading traffic signals at specific location, turn lanes, Rd. warning	02:11:54
	really infrastructure uses.	02:12:00
	And grants for coastal management.	02:12:06
	On the approval of the development permit for the Dole project, the port will pay a one time fee of $100,000 to the city.	02:12:10
	This payment can only be used for the purposes identified in Resolution 2324.	02:12:17
	Which includes partial mitigation of the port's environmental impacts to make improvements or to assist in the procurement of	02:12:23
	state grants for the Coastal Management Improvement Program.	02:12:29
	The 1987 agreement was required to be approved in a validation proceeding.	02:12:35
	Before the Ventura County Superior Court, and upon validation by the court, the court was ordered to pay 200,000 to the city as an	02:12:40
	advance on the monthly payments of gross operating revenue.	02:12:47
	From this the port was allowed to deduct 166.66 monthly thereafter until the full $200,000 is recover and this 200,000 had	02:12:55
	restrictions on its use again. Rd. improvements, turn lanes, infrastructure.	02:13:03
	Road infrastructure improvement.	02:13:11
	It is my understanding that this validation proceeding before the Ventura County Court did occur.	02:13:14
	And the IT was granted.	02:13:22
	Now let's see.	02:13:26
	Next page.	02:13:30
	We have more new payment obligations. The agreement added an automobile convoy fee for each vehicle convoy from the port with a	02:13:32
	limit of 50,000 vehicles annually.	02:13:39
	On the 10th day of every month, the port was to pay $1.00 for each vehicle convoyed. Beginning January 1, 1993. This amount	02:13:46
	increased by $0.25 every 3rd January 1. The current payment should be 375 per vehicle.	02:13:54
	However, at the start of each year, the port is entitled to assert a credit against future payments in the amount of $0.25 for	02:14:04
	every $1.00 paid of automobile convoy charges.	02:14:10
	The city and the port were to agree on routes and days for convoys, and the port was to pay for related traffic control.	02:14:17
	This agreement also places restrictions on the amount of cargo and vehicle traffic from the port, and those are listed in Item 8A	02:14:26
	through E.	02:14:31
	And you can see those like 71.1 million revenue tons of cargo excluding liquids and then the next one is no more than 71.1 million	02:14:37
	gallons of liquid excluding liquid pumped from a pipeline.	02:14:44
	No more than 11,640 average light vehicle trips per day.	02:14:51
	No more than 788 average heavy truck trips per day and the port exceeds these limits. It must reduce operations to below the	02:14:57
	thresholds or prepare a supplemental ER environmental impact report to take all action to mitigate environmental impacts.	02:15:06
	All right, let's go to the next page.	02:15:16
	On September 30th of each year, the Port is to provide audited financial statements verifying the gross operating revenues for the	02:15:20
	preceding year.	02:15:25
	The number of automobiles can void the preceding year and the total cargo for the preceding year.	02:15:30
	Now, Section 12 includes comprehensive land use provisions and changes to the development and building standards for the Dole	02:15:38
	project. Section 12 also contemplated a discontinuation of the southerly rail service.	02:15:45
	New tenants or tenants who renew a lease after the effective date of this 1987 agreement must cease using existing vessel	02:15:53
	bunkering or fuel oil storage facilities and design new facilities which may not encroach on residential or commercial areas.	02:16:01
	Excuse me, adjacent to the port.	02:16:12
	Section 13 contemplates construction of a new central gate that should be gated, should not be gauge new central gate and mandates	02:16:17
	that all pedestrian and vehicle traffic using the Clara and Scott Streets Gate cease with limited exception.	02:16:25
	And the port must provide the city with records to confirm the total cargo for the port.	02:16:35
	If the city monitors traffic to and from the port, the city has to share those reports annually with the port.	02:16:41
	The port is to establish a noise abatement program in accordance with the city's Noise Impact Mitigation Program.	02:16:49
	And sections 15 provides.	02:16:57
	That during times of water shortage, the port will be prohibited from selling water to any entity or person other than to vessels.	02:17:03
	First question, the word convoy.	02:17:17
	It's not defined. It's not defined. Do we know how it is being utilized now? I mean, do we get a record showing the amount of car	02:17:21
	that we're supposed to get? A record showing the amount of cars, correct, or convoy vehicles based upon the agreement, the the	02:17:28
	strict language of the agreement, I can't tell what the term convoy means. Is convoy one car? Is it 2? Is it more than two? It's	02:17:35
	just an undefined term.	02:17:43
	And how does that relate to?	02:17:51
	What I understand is happening now, which is multiple cars being placed on a truck and moved out of the port to another area. So	02:17:55
	this is one of those undefined terms that as your lawyer, I find problematic and just.	02:18:04
	I don't have the answer to it because there's nothing in the record that would indicate that anybody to find that term.	02:18:14
	But we're supposed to get an accounting of the amount of vehicles convoy, correct?	02:18:22
	We get a monthly invoice that lists the total number of vehicles that we are receiving payment for. It doesn't define, but it's	02:18:28
	not telling us how they went about accounting the convoy versus that's not included in the invoice.	02:18:36
	Right. And so I'm sorry, hold on, one more question #14.	02:18:46
	Does the port produce the city? Just sorry, does the port provide the city with a cargo record?	02:18:53
	Similar, we receive a monthly invoice that has, we received one with the number of vehicles and we received one with with that	02:19:02
	information, but it it doesn't give detail and how it was arrived at or anything like that. So.	02:19:11
	OK, I'm done with my questions.	02:19:23
	Thank you.	02:19:26
	So what I find interesting is that when the port.	02:19:29
	I remember this because I was just graduated from high school. In 1981, the port decided to bring BMWs into the Portawan. Even	02:19:34
	they're all excited. They came to the city and said hey, we're going to bring cars in and we're going to pay you.	02:19:40
	And then So what I'm wondering is when?	02:19:47
	They started bringing cars into the naval base.	02:19:51
	And they clearly decided when those cars leave on an auto transport truck, they're they're not a convoy. Is that what we've? I'm	02:19:55
	pretty sure I've learned that no, that's not a convoy. Read the agreement.	02:20:00
	Like OK.	02:20:07
	So I can't answer that question, Councilmember, because the term convoy.	02:20:08
	Is not defined in the agreement.	02:20:14
	OK. And so it's back to like the formula with the 1983 agreement?	02:20:17
	Do we? OK, so did.	02:20:23
	When vehicles were going.	02:20:26
	To the Navy base, did they ever come to say, hey, we're now going to do 50 acres of vehicles on the Navy base and.	02:20:30
	We didn't update our.	02:20:37
	Make a change to any agreement on that? Not that I'm aware of. OK, thank you.	02:20:39
	Yeah, so.	02:20:47
	Reading some of the this this here I guess for clarity too. If we're going to clarify convoys, I think we should clarify.	02:20:50
	Cars. So when we say cars, is it?	02:21:01
	Because in some invoices by tonnage, by weight. So I think just we need clarity on.	02:21:04
	Is it weight or is it per car? So if we're going to ask for clarity, we should basically fix that language also.	02:21:13
	And that may be like Joan had started off saying that the purpose of this is to be educational. And so a next sort of step can be	02:21:23
	those questions that the council is identifying. If you identify those, then we can do our own research. We could also contact the	02:21:31
	port and make sure we all have the same understanding. So that might be a good next step. And so.	02:21:39
	We'll start tracking sort of those questions and that that can be.	02:21:48
	Something we do moving forward.	02:21:55
	Yes, Councilmember 16, we went through a severe drought period.	02:21:58
	And I'm wondering, has 16 ever been in play?	02:22:04
	Because I'm, it's really because I know that during the drought, I mean, we're all rationing water. Remember that It was tough.	02:22:09
	So it says.	02:22:15
	During.	02:22:17
	Times of water shortage.	02:22:19
	I'd add that to our list of questions. Yeah. And I think that term water shortage, I was going to say that's complicated. Even,	02:22:22
	you know, we've had water restrictions, but that might not actually be a a water shortage. So I don't, Joan and I will give the	02:22:29
	default answer that none of neither of us know what happened in 1983 or in 1987.	02:22:37
	For the record, I was not born yet in 1983.	02:22:46
	Come on.	02:22:51
	But so like we're trying to answer these very like strictly with like what's on paper that we can read. We have theories about why	02:22:52
	things have happened and things like that. But I think having this discussion is good because we can follow up and make sure that	02:22:58
	we have understanding on what's happened. That's right. There's a lot of these questions that at this point we just don't have	02:23:04
	answers to. But you're taking note of tracks that I can look at and read, try to decipher them in my own mind, come up with	02:23:10
	questions.	02:23:15
	Umm, my job tonight is to educate and refresh your recollection.	02:23:23
	On these agreements.	02:23:28
	And the next one is actually the easiest one of the bunch. The first modification of the 83 agreement dated in 1988 and it removed	02:23:31
	the requirement to widen Panoma Rd. So we can now get on to.	02:23:38
	I'm sorry but.	02:23:49
	OK, again, I'm trying to learn SO.	02:23:51
	The port recently established that temporary lot at Perkins and Saviors Rd.	02:23:55
	Looks like there's thousands of cars there.	02:24:02
	Few, 1000.	02:24:05
	Which, that's a convoy, right? I think everyone agrees that. Are those cars counted as a convoy? We don't know that.	02:24:09
	I don't know. OK, I think it depends on how they got there. But I'm not, I don't want to speak for the port. So I think that's	02:24:17
	something we have to get clarity on. Not according to Webster's dictionary. The the definition of convoy is just a group of	02:24:22
	vehicles.	02:24:27
	So, so it's Convoy 1V under these agreements is, are you counting one vehicle but when they're driving down the road?	02:24:32
	Of vehicles so as a truck, so as a you know all these any kind of transport is a group of vehicles so we're going to find out what	02:24:43
	convoy means in these agreements and how it's been applied and how it's really critical yes.	02:24:52
	How hasn't been implied?	02:25:03
	That's correct, yeah, because there's two sides to it.	02:25:05
	All right, here comes one of the more complicated agreements, which is the 1995 Encel MOU.	02:25:10
	This one came about as the port was acquiring 33 acres of land, the end cell, from the US Navy in a no cost transfer.	02:25:18
	The term of this agreement tracks the 1983 and the 1987 agreements such that it terminates in 2036. The end cell property was to	02:25:29
	be divided into 3 parcels.	02:25:35
	Parcel A was a minimum.	02:25:42
	Of 21 acres and a maximum of 25 acres to be used for expansion of the port.	02:25:45
	Parcel BA minimum of eight acres and a maximum of 12 to be used by the Surplus Land Authority, which is referred here as the	02:25:52
	authority for aquaculture, marine fisheries and maritime related activities. And then there was a parcel CA minimum of eight acres	02:25:58
	and a maximum 12 acres.	02:26:04
	To be used for construction and maintenance of a seawall and waterfront access.	02:26:11
	OK. Next slide.	02:26:17
	Thank you, all right. Parsley was to be managed and funded by the Port. Parcel B was to be managed and funded by the Authority,	02:26:19
	which again is the surplus land authority. Parcel C was to be managed and funded jointly by the City, the Authority and the Port	02:26:25
	by percentage of land under the exclusive control of each entity.	02:26:32
	The MOU created additional payment obligations from the port to the city.	02:26:40
	These included a one time advance payment, base payments, variable payments based upon gross operating revenues.	02:26:45
	And a premium on vehicle convoy fees for exceeding the $50,000 vehicle annual limit pursuant to the 1987 agreement. And there's	02:26:53
	that term convoy again.	02:26:58
	Upon transfer.	02:27:05
	Excuse me of the end cell property. The port is to pay the city $150,000.	02:27:08
	Which must be used for traffic improvements as identified in the 1995 and Self Community Reuse Plan.	02:27:13
	In addition, the port will begin making base payments divided into 3 phases.	02:27:21
	Phase one commences when the full and immediate transfer of the end cell property is completed and results in a port payment of	02:27:29
	$30,000 per year with CPI adjustments annually.	02:27:35
	Phase two commences with the issuance of all governmental approvals and environmental approvals.	02:27:41
	Required for the development permits on the end cell property. Phase two made two payments are $60,000 per year, subject again to	02:27:49
	annual CPI increases.	02:27:55
	Phase three commences upon issuance of certificates of occupancy for substantial developments on Parcel A. During phase three, the	02:28:01
	port shall pay $90,000 annually to the City with CPI increases.	02:28:07
	Base payment variable payment are separate and in addition to the gross operating payments.	02:28:15
	That were identified in the 83 and 1987 agreements.	02:28:21
	This slide shows you the variable payment.	02:28:27
	Percentages based upon gross operating revenues and that this slide is actually right in the agreement itself.	02:28:31
	So you can see if the gross operating revenues were 8 million or less, the variable payment percentage would be 2% and then it	02:28:40
	increases from there.	02:28:44
	Going to 14 million or greater at 3%.	02:28:49
	And the payments for vehicles convoyed remain the same as the 87 agreement.	02:28:54
	However, for every vehicle convoy in excess of the 50,000 vehicle annual limit, the port will pay a premium of $0.50 per vehicle.	02:28:59
	All right, here we go.	02:29:10
	The 1995 End Cell MOU also includes land use provisions for Parcels A and three and waives the fees for any development with the	02:29:13
	exception of environmental mitigation, railroad mitigation, sewer connection, service charges, or other agency exactions, as the	02:29:20
	annual payments are deemed in lieu.	02:29:26
	Now, specific land use provisions for Parcels A and three are as follows, and all of those are listed in my staff report. They're	02:29:34
	on the PowerPoint here.	02:29:39
	And.	02:29:45
	They are basically that the use of the parcels must conform to the end cell Community Reuse plan and Parcel A must conform to the	02:29:48
	VM development concept requires the city and port to implement zoning changes and identify that were identified in the 1987	02:29:55
	agreement.	02:30:01
	All vehicle traffic to Parcels A&B shall be through the central gate, with limited exceptions identified in the 87 Agreement.	02:30:09
	The Southerly rail service.	02:30:17
	Excuse me is to be realigned across the sun kissed site and terminate at the southerly portion of the end cell property.	02:30:20
	The Port City and Authority will jointly cooperate to develop Parcel B into an aquaculture business area and net income from this	02:30:30
	area should be retained by the Authority. The Port City and Authority will enter into a joint use agreement with the US Navy	02:30:36
	regarding the end sell property. The Authority will be responsible for implementation of the Homeless Assistance Strategy and	02:30:42
	specified.	02:30:49
	In the 1995 ends health community reuse plan. OK. So there's a lot. There's a lot here. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Question. We still	02:30:56
	have more to go. I have one more slide. OK, just questions really quick. Any questions where are parcels AB and C located?	02:31:04
	I don't know.	02:31:13
	And have we ever?	02:31:16
	Done any of these things that were supposed to be jointly engaged in? Has this ever do we know?	02:31:19
	So we know certain things have been done, we know certain things were not done. And then there's other things that that we don't	02:31:28
	have any record of if they were done or not. And you know example of the widening of Panama St. we know that wasn't done, but we	02:31:34
	know there is also a contract later on that said we agreed not to do it likewise and we just went through this with the community	02:31:41
	benefit fund to that.	02:31:47
	There are some things that we agreed to do and then four or five years later we hadn't done. And then and then I think both	02:31:55
	agencies just said then why bother? You know, if it, if it we didn't need to do it and it's not done, then we're not going to do	02:31:59
	it.	02:32:03
	So I think that there's kind of this combination of those things, but I think just on this slide that there are a couple things	02:32:08
	that like development of the aquaculture business area. I know that there's been aquaculture, but I don't know if it was done per	02:32:16
	this agreement and with all of those requirements of this agreement. That's something we'd have to find out. Council Member Perez,	02:32:23
	I misspoke at the end of the agreement which is attached.	02:32:30
	As Exhibit 4, right after the signature pages, there is a map. There's a map, Yeah, there's a map. And there's some diagrams that	02:32:39
	would indicate where the respective parcels are. And I apologize for miss speaking. Thank you.	02:32:47
	A few slides ago.	02:33:00
	There was 60,000 payment for partial ABC have we?	02:33:02
	Track those payments or do we have evidence that those payments have been made or?	02:33:07
	It just seems very vague and.	02:33:13
	Honestly, my.	02:33:18
	My eyes were rolling in the back of my head. I'm like, can you please stop? Because, you know, like each one of those points, you	02:33:20
	know, I would like to see some source documentation at least and say, hey, here's what we did, Here's what we got, you know?	02:33:26
	I think.	02:33:35
	The challenge is those payments were.	02:33:37
	Due to be made in 1995 and I don't think we'd have our computer system that has our financial records doesn't go back to 1995. So	02:33:41
	some of this is going to the assumption is going to have to be made that some of these things were done otherwise there would have	02:33:49
	been an issue at some point in that period. But we we can't even go back to some of those records at this point.	02:33:56
	And there was an issue because at later point there was a settlement agreement that would be the next document.	02:34:05
	Is the next contract there was a settlement agreement because there was a dispute as to whether or not the port and the city were	02:34:12
	complying with their respective obligations under the agreements?	02:34:19
	OK. Any more questions so far where we are? OK.	02:34:31
	You can continue.	02:34:34
	Um.	02:34:36
	The last slide on the 1995 and Cell MOU is that there have been 2 addendums.	02:34:38
	To this the addendum number one was added because of exhaustion of reasonable efforts to resolve sand replenishment issues.	02:34:44
	And addendum #2 relates to waterfront improvements and constructions of a lighthouse promenade, and I haven't summarized that	02:34:52
	here.	02:34:56
	Though the maintenance of the seawall and Parcel C is a portion to each of the parties, based upon the exclusive control of each,	02:35:02
	the port may advance any unencumbered funds to cover the authorities pro rata share of the authority at the Authority's written	02:35:07
	request.	02:35:12
	The advance will gain interest at the rate of 6% and may may be amortized over a period of six months.	02:35:18
	And the advance may only occur when emergency repairs to the seawall are necessary during a period when the federal government	02:35:25
	fails to maintain a littoral sediment balance of 1.254 million cubic yards per year.	02:35:32
	And nothing in this in the addendum prevents any party from recovering funds.	02:35:42
	From the federal government and the amount deducted from port annual payments may not exceed the amount owed to the city.	02:35:47
	That concludes my discussion on the 1995 and cell Mou.	02:35:59
	As I mentioned previously, there was a dispute between the city and the port where the city alleged that the port was under	02:36:05
	reporting its gross operating revenues and making insufficient payments under the 8387 and the 1995 End Cell MOU.	02:36:13
	And the city also alleged that the port was making or taking improper automobile convoy credits. This resulted in the 2015	02:36:22
	settlement agreement.	02:36:27
	Under the 1995 Encel MOU, the Port acquired property from the Navy and granted a leasehold interest in Parcels B&C to the	02:36:34
	Authority. The Authority had the right to sublease and enter on Parcel B. There were a number of sub tenants on Parcel B. Part of	02:36:41
	the 25 2015 settlement agreement was to clarify the sharing of gross operating revenues, the vehicle convoy payments and to give	02:36:49
	all of the authorities rights in Parcel B.	02:36:56
	Support Under the agreement, the port obligated itself to be responsible.	02:37:03
	For everything related to Parcel B, the city retains land use authority over all end cell properties. Parcels A&B are now under	02:37:10
	full control of the port.	02:37:15
	And the port is entitled to the whole common trust allocation of the 1995 in cell MO U.	02:37:21
	The port must pay to the City a one time payment of $1,000,100 dollars, $100,000 within 30 days of the transfer of Parcel B.	02:37:28
	Next side please.	02:37:40
	OK. Calculation of gross operating revenues is to be completed in accordance with the 1983 agreement and be identified as total	02:37:44
	operating revenues in the Ports Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.	02:37:50
	This document created the Community Benefit Fund for each year that the Port reports gross operating revenues in excess of 13	02:37:57
	million at the port, including the revenues from Parcel B. The Port will pay the City $100,000 for CPI increases beginning in the	02:38:04
	2015, 2016 fiscal year.	02:38:10
	Each year, the port and the city will mutually agree to determine projects that will benefit the community.	02:38:19
	For which those funds can be used if they cannot agree. The Community Benefit Fund can be unilaterally used as determined by the	02:38:25
	city for shoreline protection, community development, opportunistic endeavors and other projects as agreed.	02:38:33
	1st Amendment to the 1983 Agreement.	02:38:46
	This extended the term from 25 to 27 years.	02:38:50
	From the additional 25 years, so based on all calculations, the 1983 agreement, the 87 agreement, the 2015 settlement agreement	02:38:54
	and the end cell MOU all conclude in March of 2036.	02:39:02
	The First Amendment to the 83 agreement also clarified that the use of the payments to the city.	02:39:11
	Of the.	02:39:18
	Original .2778% of gross operating revenues, it's restricted.	02:39:19
	In a similar manner to the 1.67% revenue sharing in the 1987 agreement.	02:39:25
	Again, this is capital improvements, infrastructure maintenance and the port is to provide the city with its audited financial	02:39:31
	report by December.	02:39:36
	31 of each year.	02:39:41
	Finally.	02:39:44
	Oh, did you want to have questions on this one?	02:39:47
	See a blue footed booby I've got to say hey, there's a blue footed booby. I'm going to give credit to my wonderful assistant Lexi	02:39:50
	for you know, coming up with the the appropriate visuals for this because she told me this was really boring and she wanted to put	02:39:56
	some fancy stuff into it. I had to agree. I'll let her know you you commented did he did anyone have any questions? I don't have a	02:40:02
	question. I had a comment but just about the.	02:40:08
	Parcel I now have Parcel A&B, which is the beachfront property along The Walking path.	02:40:15
	And where the lighthouse is, they sold that for $1.1 million.	02:40:20
	That's that's your comment. OK, great.	02:40:26
	Questions now. No comments. Questions.	02:40:30
	Questions regarding the data that's being shared with us it's it's just too much I mean I'm overwhelmed right now like I'm, I'm	02:40:34
	literally you know overwhelmed and so I do have questions but then.	02:40:40
	Being overwhelmed makes it a little difficult to ask questions. So basically the only this.	02:40:47
	Zero 0.2778 that applies to parcel, ACBD or all of them.	02:40:56
	On this slide.	02:41:06
	Let me go back to that.	02:41:08
	This is an amendment to the original agreement. It's not an amendment to the First Amendment to the 83 agreement. So the 8083	02:41:11
	agreement was at .02778, correct?	02:41:19
	And So what this amendment did, it didn't change that it just, no, it's a different number because unless I wrote it down wrong,	02:41:27
	I, I thought we had .02778 and here right now on this screen it says .277827 cents versus.	02:41:35
	Two cents right? Set a type. Might be a typo on my part. Let me my bad for paying attention.	02:41:44
	Because this was crazy.	02:41:51
	My records show .2778.	02:41:54
	It's .2778. Get into the.	02:41:58
	It's the 87 agreement. Let me go back to the 83 agreement. So again, that's still a question that we have on our list is the	02:42:05
	formula for arriving at that.	02:42:09
	A formula for arriving at that figure. So that question has been asked and it's on our list, so I don't think we need to belabor	02:42:15
	it.	02:42:19
	Any other questions?	02:42:26
	I think it's .2778, but I will double check that. But what this First Amendment did was it restricted those funds that .2778 to be	02:42:29
	used in the same manner as the funds.	02:42:37
	Discussed in the 1987 agreement the 1.67% revenue sharing for capital improvements, infrastructure maintenance, et cetera.	02:42:46
	So that was the purpose of the 1st Amendment.	02:42:57
	To be 83 agreement.	02:43:01
	Which why on earth there was a modification to the 83 agreement and then a first and 2nd amendment? I don't understand the	02:43:03
	verbiage on that.	02:43:07
	Then there was a.	02:43:13
	Second Amendment to the 1983 Agreement.	02:43:15
	To confirm that it all expires on March 13, 2036.	02:43:20
	And with that, I'll take whatever questions you have. I'm not sure I can answer them.	02:43:27
	But we're certainly open to questions.	02:43:34
	So.	02:43:40
	Say brack realignment.	02:43:43
	The footprint of the port. What would What would happen if Portland be shut down? Naval Base Ventura County? Port Wayne?	02:43:46
	Who divvies that land?	02:43:59
	Most likely that would be, you mean if it was similar to like the Air Force Base, like El Toro, they give it, they give it to the	02:44:02
	city was actually involved in the redevelopment and reuse of George and that actually ended up involving an act of Congress.	02:44:11
	So that's where the land would, not where the land would go, but that's who would have jurisdiction over the land most likely. And	02:44:21
	I haven't thought that one completely through, but I am very familiar with the Air Force Base closures because George was just	02:44:28
	about the first one to be redeveloped in California. I'm very proud of that.	02:44:35
	And that took an act of Congress.	02:44:44
	So that's most likely what would happen, but I can't answer that definitively as we sit here tonight.	02:44:48
	Any other questions?	02:44:56
	If nor the question we have public comments.	02:45:00
	Yes, we have public comments. First is Jan Burke.	02:45:04
	Well, I'm a little overwhelmed too. This is thank you very much for putting this together. I know that was a major undertaking, so	02:45:23
	thank you, city city attorney, for doing that.	02:45:28
	So a number of the citizens and the coalition, the one of the reasons we've decided to take this on as a topic of discussion.	02:45:35
	And it's probably even more so now. We're very concerned about the strategic plan, the 10 year strategic plan.	02:45:45
	We have tried to meet with members of the Commission and have not been able to.	02:45:53
	And invite them to join us. We have met with the Kristen, the CEO and Miguel.	02:46:01
	And so we seem to get kind of stonewalled and we went, we visited with the charette that they had, but there was no exchange in	02:46:08
	Q&A.	02:46:12
	And so the question I have had for this master plan.	02:46:17
	Is how big is big enough? What is the goal? A master plan should have a goal.	02:46:22
	What is the revenue goal? What is the volume of the of the amount of transportation of cargo that's coming in from the from the	02:46:28
	port and I can't get an answer.	02:46:34
	And I think that that's an important thing for the city and for our city to in for our constituents here in the city of Waimea to	02:46:40
	understand how does that impact us from a quality of life.	02:46:46
	From an infrastructure, from the resources that we have.	02:46:52
	Traffic, I mean I was just driving down Wanami Rd. last week to my office from Anacapa View Beach Homes to Arcturus which is a	02:46:56
	high traffic area. 15 trucks in 5 minutes just in that one little drive.	02:47:04
	So there's there's definitely a lot of movement going on in addition.	02:47:12
	I have a view of the ocean.	02:47:17
	In my backyard.	02:47:20
	And I see out there too.	02:47:21
	Five boat ships, I should say, out there parked.	02:47:24
	For days at a time. So there's an emissions issue that that also continues to contribute to the quality of life and error.	02:47:29
	For as Greg had mentioned earlier.	02:47:37
	So.	02:47:41
	There's a lot of impact. I believe in growth and I believe as a business owner that, you know, smart growth is good.	02:47:42
	But what we we can't get the answers of what the what the really end goal here is. And I think that.	02:47:50
	There's a lot of.	02:47:56
	Stuff that was just provided today and it is a little confusing and I think we need to to vet it and and really dice it out. And I	02:47:59
	would like to make a suggestion that the two elected bodies.	02:48:06
	Our City Council and our commissioners get together as a whole.	02:48:13
	And have a meeting and let's.	02:48:19
	Get this discussion started.	02:48:22
	Thank you. Thank you.	02:48:26
	Austin Yang.	02:48:28
	I.	02:48:32
	Good evening, Mayor McKinley son and Mayor Pro Tem Lopez and council members step and citizens of this beautiful city. My name is	02:48:37
	Austin Yang. I'm chief financial officer at the port of by Nimi. So if you if I may, I want to clarify a couple things.	02:48:46
	So for example, the requirement for audit report, the old, you know the agreement as senior attorney mentioned, like you know,	02:48:55
	it's September 30th, our deadline, but the new rules, Gatsby rules and regulation require us to have multiple outside report and	02:49:04
	everything pension, open leases, it's virtually impossible for us to provide everything by September 30th, but.	02:49:12
	With that like you know in 2025 agreement.	02:49:22
	We noticed that and we change that back to December 31st. So we've been providing our audio report to the city within the due date	02:49:25
	and that act for contains older you know the cargo commodity by you know by commodity all the cargo reports and everything. So and	02:49:33
	going back to the revenue sharing agreement, there are two kind of revenue sharing agreement, one is based on percentage of our	02:49:40
	revenue.	02:49:48
	Another one is convoy fee.	02:49:56
	So the percentage based revenue sharing is as Councilmember comma questioned 0.2778% per month. So where that number came from,	02:49:58
	right. So I had the same question one time. So I reversed the engineer that when you annualized 0.2778%, it's 3.33%. So I believe	02:50:07
	you know someone back there like 42 years ago.	02:50:17
	Came up with three, three, 3.33%.	02:50:27
	And they divide by by month, so 2.22 point, 0.2778% I believe came from that number. So when you annualize it, 3.30% from the port	02:50:30
	operating revenue goes to the port per 83 agreement, 87 agreement, 1.6%, six, 7% of our total revenue goes to the city.	02:50:43
	And 95 agreement, 3% of our total operating revenue goes to the city.	02:50:57
	That's a percentage based revenue sharing agreement and convoy fee.	02:51:03
	Every cars convoy over city street which means poor car. So you see all new cars on windy mid road right? So 1st 50,000 cars. We	02:51:09
	pay the city $3 and 75% you know, dollars per car.	02:51:17
	And anything over 50,000 cars we pay extra $1.04. So at $4.79 per car. So every year over half $1,000,000 goes to the city as a	02:51:25
	convoy fee. So convoy means to us every cars going convoys over the city street.	02:51:37
	Can I have a three more minutes?	02:51:51
	I know the time is up.	02:51:53
	I think it's typical. This is an agreement related to the port operations and there are questions about it. So I think it'd be up	02:51:56
	to the council to extend that. I'm here to, you know, share some methods on behalf of the portal by Nimi. So here with me, Leticia	02:52:02
	Austin and Maripazakova here.	02:52:08
	With us so.	02:52:15
	We thank the City Attorney for her detailed recitation of the agreement between the City and the Port, including the 2015	02:52:18
	settlement agreement. With one minor exception, we concur in her analysis. The staff report says if there is no consensus on	02:52:25
	project to fund for three successful successfully years, the use of Community Benefit Fund may be used for series of categories	02:52:31
	by.	02:52:38
	Unilateral.	02:52:46
	Action of the city. But the minor exception is we believe the language that the 25 settlement agreement to provide for the city	02:52:47
	and the port to spend 50% each of unused CBF fund. If the CN port cannot agree on how to spend those funds through those CBF	02:52:56
	process for three years in a row. Luckily, the city and the port has not had to use that provision yet.	02:53:06
	And we don't believe that will we ever have to given these.	02:53:16
	Next few points.	02:53:20
	We believe the Port and the City has turned the corner from those times in 2013 and 2014 fourteen that led to expensive	02:53:23
	litigation. And we believe that the 2015 settlement agreement set forth fair and reasonable terms that put to rest once and for	02:53:30
	all the disagreement from those times. The 2015 agreement bring clarity, certainty and predictability about the financial	02:53:38
	relations between the.	02:53:45
	Port with respect to city services at the port such as Rd. improvement and public safety services, which we at the Port genuinely	02:53:53
	appreciate for the benefit of our customers and resident near the port and impact to the city. Most importantly, the 2015	02:54:02
	agreement ushered in and memorialized the new era of collaboration and cooperation between the Port and the city.	02:54:11
	Clearly embodied into the valuable work of Community Benefit Fund as directed by Joint City Port.	02:54:21
	Committee process laid out in step report. The CBF is win win win for Port, the city and the resident we both serve.	02:54:28
	Over the life of the agreement between the city and the port since 1983.	02:54:40
	Approximately $40 million has been deposited into the city's general fund, with approximately about $2.9 million going in most	02:54:46
	recent fiscal year 2024.	02:54:52
	Again, we thank Syria 24 her effort and we appreciate the collaboration and cooperation of the city to through the CBF process.	02:54:58
	Thank you.	02:55:03
	Thank you. Are there?	02:55:10
	Are there any what can we do that?	02:55:12
	Any questions? Yeah.	02:55:14
	Any questions?	02:55:16
	Thank you.	02:55:19
	Austin, thank you for hanging out with us tonight.	02:55:22
	Answer questions as long as you'd like to. You had me at Cotton Boy.	02:55:26
	And I believe you said?	02:55:31
	Convoy is any car that goes down the street.	02:55:33
	Now.	02:55:37
	I would interpret that as OK, so the cars coming out on the auto transport truck from the base is a convoy, but I'm pretty sure	02:55:38
	that's not how the agreement is paid out.	02:55:44
	We paid out based on number of cars convoyed over the city street, individual cars, not on the truck. But you don't see the cars	02:55:51
	that come out on an auto transport truck from the port where they're carrying fifteen cars. You don't see that as a convoy. Is	02:55:57
	that correct?	02:56:03
	Or it's not paid as a convoy. I believe it's not and I believe it should be.	02:56:10
	But that's my opinion. But.	02:56:16
	So. So I just wanted.	02:56:19
	You had me at Convoy. You said every car that travels down the street. You didn't say every car that's being driven individually	02:56:23
	following each other down the street. So I just wanted to clarify that.	02:56:28
	Yes, my understanding is the every car is convoyed over city street individually.	02:56:34
	OK. So I'm just going to ask that we limit our comments and ask questions because we're happy to have you here to answer questions	02:56:41
	for us. So we don't want to.	02:56:47
	You to turn around and leave at any time.	02:56:53
	So questions only.	02:56:55
	Please.	02:56:58
	Anybody have any questions?	02:57:02
	He asked my question. He answered your question already. Good. I had another one.	02:57:05
	OK. So it does that, does that include freight for each car that is is coming out of the port? Is that what is that considered? Is	02:57:10
	that individual car per freight on a train or is that a convoy?	02:57:18
	So if there's twenty cars on a train, how how what is what is the port paying out? My understanding is every cars on city street	02:57:26
	so.	02:57:32
	It's like driven by drivers. So it doesn't include the rail. Doesn't include the rail. It's the nature of the agreement. I believe	02:57:39
	it doesn't include any cargo through the rail. Would it include multiple cars on a truck transport?	02:57:48
	Would that be one car, one item? Or would it would you count the individual cars that are on the truck?	02:57:59
	I need some clarification because you know, I cannot remember top of my head. We can report back to you, you know, with the	02:58:09
	conflation with the, you know, port staff. Thank you. One final question and we'll.	02:58:16
	Get moving on.	02:58:23
	I didn't hear anything about tractors, dump trucks, Volvos, the big things or the oversized loads. Is there any agreement?	02:58:25
	For the special permit loads that have you know, multi axle trailers that need a CHP export, do we get any consideration for those	02:58:33
	types of loads? I believe like you know those high end hobbies like you know we charge tariff rate to our customers and revenue we	02:58:40
	generate 8% of our total revenue goes to the city as a revenue sharing. So we believe that's the fair share of revenue sharing we	02:58:46
	have with the city.	02:58:53
	It's in the 87 agreement.	02:59:00
	Council Member Gama, the reference to trucks, the only really reference that I've seen throughout these agreements is in the 1987	02:59:04
	agreement.	02:59:08
	What about tractors?	02:59:14
	It's again an unidentified term. What do they mean by trucks?	02:59:16
	What about oversized loads, loads that are over £80,000? I'm not seeing that. I think, if I may, I think the report, yeah, I think	02:59:21
	the report, if you read the report, it refers to these heavy duty trucks by weight.	02:59:27
	Not by type.	02:59:35
	Like you have a 50,000.	02:59:40
	Town Vehicle.	02:59:42
	We're not going to describe what kind of vehicle it is. It's it seems their measurements based on the weight of the vehicle.	02:59:44
	Not the type.	02:59:52
	When we get into comments, I'll.	02:59:57
	Would like to make a comment.	02:59:59
	Questions. Yes, so.	03:00:03
	Is my last comment. So when I see a billboard it says like 630,000 cars.	03:00:05
	Coming through the port.	03:00:13
	That doesn't equate to 630,000 cars that we are getting revenue from the city and.	03:00:15
	It sounds like it's not going to match.	03:00:25
	Is that correct?	03:00:28
	I believe this for assessment.	03:00:30
	And then?	03:00:32
	My question my my last question is.	03:00:36
	Can we just get clarification on tonnage?	03:00:40
	Versus per car like when you guys invoice.	03:00:44
	You know your monthly invoice, Can't we just get how many cards were processed? We do have that like you know.	03:00:49
	Annual financial report, which is also available on our website does have all the cargo tonnage numbers information and every	03:00:58
	month the city received four different payment from the port. Each payment will come with the letter stating how many cars	03:01:06
	convoyed over the city street plus what kind of revenue sharing they're getting the city is receiving. So for example.	03:01:14
	87 agreement, 11 point, 1.67% of our total revenue.	03:01:23
	And 95 agreement, we have a 3% of our revenue coming to the port. So each letter specified the specifics about those payment.	03:01:29
	OK. Thank you.	03:01:40
	Thank you. I can just add there. So just Austin, I'll follow up with you after the meeting on some of these items you, you and	03:01:42
	your team and get clarity. And I think just jumping in there because the reference that airport envelope is was referring to as	03:01:49
	some of the reports that we've received will have vehicles by number of vehicles and then others will say tonnage. And it's not	03:01:56
	clear if those are, if it is tonnage or if it's number of vehicles and those types of things, so.	03:02:03
	It's just one of those things on our list to get clarification on. So we'll follow up after today with some some of those	03:02:10
	questions that we can.	03:02:15
	Work together to clarify. Understood.	03:02:20
	Thank you, question. Go ahead comment.	03:02:22
	It is it too.	03:02:26
	Or you just have a comment. Well, I'd just like to make a comment that I think what we've all may have learned here tonight, that	03:02:29
	these agreements are very complicated. They're complex and they cover a very large swaths of time. And I would hope that we all	03:02:35
	could agree to perhaps come together, have conversations that matter and try and simplify our lives. You do a great job, but you	03:02:41
	have difficult agreements, you know, and then we're trying to do a job and we're trying to understand. So maybe hopefully as a	03:02:46
	result of all this, we could all.	03:02:52
	Agree to simplify, come together, have conversations that matter publicly, of course.	03:02:58
	I totally agree with Councilman.	03:03:05
	Great. Is there anything else?	03:03:07
	I think thank you so much. Thank you.	03:03:10
	And thank you, Joan.	03:03:16
	And thank you for the blue footed booby. You know the the blue footed booby has been spotted here in Channel Islands every now and	03:03:17
	then, not often, but it usually resides in the Galapagos Island. She put that in there just for you.	03:03:25
	Madam Clerk, did we have any other comments? And that concludes public comments. Great, thank you. The recommendation, City	03:03:36
	Manager, did you have?	03:03:39
	Well, I was actually just gonna say I think what you were saying, which is there is no specific recommendation. I think we got	03:03:44
	some questions for clarification. So we can proceed with that and get that clarification and provide that information back to	03:03:50
	council. But obviously the council, if the council does want to give any other specific direction, you can do that at this time. I	03:03:56
	have something, Mayor, can I add?	03:04:02
	To the convoy question, I understand Austin's understanding of what that means.	03:04:08
	But I'd like to find out.	03:04:14
	How they came up with that?	03:04:16
	We can, we can find out, we'll ask as part of that is if there's any history to that, if at some point that was defined in, you	03:04:20
	know, any document between the two parties.	03:04:25
	Or if that's just something that evolved over time.	03:04:31
	OK, so the recommendation is just to receive the synopsis of the agreement between the city and the poor.	03:04:38
	City of Port Hueneme and Oxner Harbor and to provide direction and I think that we've done that already.	03:04:45
	All right, is there?	03:04:52
	Motion and a second.	03:04:56
	We don't necessarily need it.	03:04:59
	OK, great. Thank you.	03:05:02
	Um, OK.	03:05:05
	OK. And let's see.	03:05:10
	#11.	03:05:13
	Number. Yes, thank you #11 Item 11 is the 2025 City Council presentation schedule. We're pulling that up now. Here is a visual aid	03:05:18
	for some background I.	03:05:24
	We have prepared based on going back and getting the items that the council regularly puts on agendas or has specifically	03:05:32
	requested. There was an item requested at our last meeting, for example, that's that's on this list.	03:05:39
	And then alternatively we started with those and then also with the items that staff regularly brings forward and sort of tried to	03:05:48
	create a balanced list of items so that there there were some months where we had.	03:05:57
	5 or 6 requests on a meeting. And so we try to balance that out and start with having three presentations or less at each of the	03:06:06
	upcoming meetings. Are each of the meetings scheduled for this year. We wanted to bring that forward as a starting point and then	03:06:14
	give the council the opportunity to identify any additional items, any changes any.	03:06:23
	Modifications to that schedule and so this list is the proposed 2025 presentation schedule.	03:06:32
	We recommend that the Council review it and make any desired modifications and.	03:06:40
	What we would then take that forward and build that into our schedule of upcoming council meetings for 2025. So with that, we have	03:06:49
	the list and we can walk through it, but we recommend council review it and provide that direction.	03:06:57
	I'm so excited that we're going to be in the council meeting on March 17th, Saint Patty's Day.	03:07:09
	Maybe we should have corned beef and cabbage, but.	03:07:16
	Proclamation perhaps?	03:07:20
	I don't know if we've done that in the past.	03:07:22
	We haven't in the past, maybe because the meetings maybe haven't fallen on that day. That's something.	03:07:25
	We could do.	03:07:31
	Make sure you wear green. We would. One suggestion would be when we do, if the council does identify an item, we'd also recommend	03:07:33
	that the council sort of discuss who we would be presenting that proclamation to because we're trying to, as a practice, make sure	03:07:40
	we always have somebody available to accept the presentation or the proclamation. So I'm not sure exactly if there's a group that	03:07:48
	maybe coordinates the local Saint Patrick.	03:07:55
	A parade, for example, So that would be an option that the council could consider. I may not look at, but I am a little bit Irish.	03:08:03
	Grandma.	03:08:12
	Council Member.	03:08:15
	Yeah, before we decide on adding anything to the March meetings, I did have a couple of March.	03:08:17
	Recognitions that I wanted to request the Council to consider.	03:08:26
	March is also Tsunami Awareness Month, it's national and it's National Women's History Month. So if there's room on the agenda to	03:08:32
	include both of those, I would like to recommend.	03:08:40
	Those two, I also wanted to go back to September and ask that we add National Preparedness Month and the 9/11 as we did this year.	03:08:48
	Can you repeat the month I was writing down September, September? Yeah, we did that this year. And I think in previous years we've	03:08:56
	always had a national, we've had had some kind of emergency preparedness.	03:09:04
	Month recognition.	03:09:13
	And then it's also National Hispanic Heritage Month in September.	03:09:14
	And.	03:09:24
	As I mentioned, Tsunami Awareness Month in March, National Women's History Month in March and then May.	03:09:26
	I'd like to add Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month.	03:09:33
	So we've got black hair.	03:09:39
	Black American.	03:09:43
	Heritage, Hispanic heritage and.	03:09:44
	Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage.	03:09:49
	All the diversity diverse groups recognized at some point.	03:09:53
	Those could be added if the Council provides that direction.	03:10:01
	OK. You want to start with the March, so Women's History Month and Tsunami Awareness Awareness Month. Is there a motion and a	03:10:06
	second?	03:10:10
	I'll make the motion to include from.	03:10:16
	For March, the Tsunami Awareness Month and National Women's History Month.	03:10:20
	I'll second.	03:10:26
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	03:10:30
	Motion passes.	03:10:34
	Unanimously.	03:10:35
	This September, September, I would like to make a motion to include.	03:10:38
	National Emergency Preparedness Month and combine it with 9 recognition of 9/11.	03:10:43
	As we did.	03:10:49
	This same.	03:10:51
	This year.	03:10:52
	And then Nash at National Hispanic Heritage Month for September as well.	03:10:54
	I'll need a second.	03:11:01
	Is there I'll 2nd, 2nd?	03:11:03
	All in favor, aye. All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	03:11:07
	And then one last one. In May, I would like to make a motion to add Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.	03:11:14
	Is there a second?	03:11:28
	I second.	03:11:31
	May 19th.	03:11:33
	Would be the 19th, yeah.	03:11:34
	OK, all in favor.	03:11:37
	Aye, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	03:11:40
	Can we go to?	03:11:45
	Native American.	03:11:47
	Mom, I saw it.	03:11:49
	We have, there's a couple things I think we add, the council added.	03:11:51
	Native American Heritage Month and then.	03:11:57
	That was day proclamation for February 18th. And then what about Father's Day?	03:12:00
	Father's Day, we do Father's Day, then we have to do Mother's Day and we're doing Mother's Day. So and then Native American	03:12:09
	Heritage Month in November.	03:12:14
	Can we get In Sync with the state and the federal government in terms of.	03:12:21
	Language and recognizing all tribes.	03:12:25
	Recognizing all tribes, that's something that council could choose to do, yeah.	03:12:29
	I just think we, well, I think that's November 17th. That's what that does.	03:12:36
	Right. But if we're going to, so does this mean we're going to have a proclamation?	03:12:41
	Yes, I just want to again make the point that.	03:12:45
	Let's get our language in line with the state and federal government.	03:12:50
	So that we're recognizing all.	03:12:55
	Native American tribes.	03:12:58
	So you could make a motion to. Do I need to make a motion?	03:13:00
	Actually, the language did come from the state and federal.	03:13:05
	So it didn't match.	03:13:09
	Heritage Month.	03:13:12
	The proclamation that we had.	03:13:14
	Didn't didn't state that throughout the proclamation.	03:13:16
	Understand. But I want to make sure that our proclamation recognizes all Native American tribes. Thank you.	03:13:23
	Sorry, All in favor, aye, all opposed.	03:13:35
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	03:13:38
	Anyone else?	03:13:44
	Saint Patty's Day got.	03:13:49
	Dropped I guess.	03:13:52
	Make a motion.	03:13:55
	I mean, I don't know.	03:14:00
	I mean, we're, you know, we're just getting to the point where I have to proclamation for everything.	03:14:02
	Yeah, right.	03:14:07
	OK.	03:14:10
	Excluding the Irish.	03:14:11
	I'm going to wear a green jacket so.	03:14:15
	But I'm going to wear a green jacket.	03:14:20
	OK.	03:14:25
	All right. And so I think we had motions to approve all those, so we'll move forward with this list.	03:14:26
	And.	03:14:32
	Build those into the schedule for 2025. Thank you.	03:14:33
	There is no public comment.	03:14:40
	All right, OK, so we're we'll move to the city manager comments and reports.	03:14:44
	Oh, thank you.	03:14:57
	Too much technology today.	03:15:00
	I'm barely surviving here.	03:15:05
	So we have a just a few slides, a few things we wanted to highlight.	03:15:09
	On some projects that are in progress and that we wanted to let people know about first is this morning we launched and it's on	03:15:16
	our website and social media, but we launched the one of the next steps on developing our.	03:15:24
	Americans with Disabilities Act Self Evaluation and Transition Plan. We are developing a citywide ADA self evaluation and	03:15:33
	transition plan and one of the steps that we're on right now is to do a citywide questionnaire asking everyone, including just,	03:15:40
	you know, anybody in the room here is free to answer. Any member of the public can answer. We're asking for people, people for	03:15:48
	their feedback on.	03:15:55
	How our departments and programs and services are, are, are not accessible to persons with disabilities. So that we're able to get	03:16:03
	kind of that understanding of where we're doing things right and where we, we may be missing things. So that launched today. We	03:16:11
	are in the midst of this self evaluation and transition transition plan. And so we're asking people to give us that feedback to	03:16:18
	help us develop that plan over the next few months. So, so that's available now.	03:16:25
	There's a code here that people could scan to take the survey. You can do it from your phone, it's pretty simple, but or you can	03:16:33
	visit our social media and and get the information there as well.	03:16:39
	Next, this one is a lot more visible. People are probably seeing it, especially out in front of City Hall. We've been working on	03:16:48
	our sewer, one of our main sewer lines being replaced.	03:16:54
	Very old, I think it's 60 year old section of sewer lines that's being replaced and it's a critical section that serves a large	03:17:01
	part of our community. And so there's a little bit of an inconvenience right now because we have some lane closures, but we've	03:17:08
	been happy that we've been able to avoid major St. closures. We haven't had to have major streets closed.	03:17:15
	But there's just some areas where people are, we're asking people to merge into one lane for the time being. That project is	03:17:23
	continuing between now and early April and maybe with some luck, maybe a little bit sooner, but we're working on that now. The	03:17:29
	work is proceeding now. And we thank everybody for their patience as that's going on because it's going to ensure that everybody's	03:17:35
	sewer lines work correctly.	03:17:41
	For hopefully 60 more years to come after that project's done.	03:17:48
	We have, we have some big projects right now and I'll say I'll start with that shout out to public works and our facilities teams	03:17:54
	who are doing a lot of things all at the same time like that sewer line replacement and, and one of the next slides we'll get to.	03:18:01
	But another big one we're doing in partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers and the, the port and the channel ends Harbor	03:18:08
	District is the dredging project, which is the replacement of sand on our, which includes the replacement of.	03:18:16
	On our beach and so we thank everybody because it's a critical project to make sure that the beach is still here. But we, we know	03:18:23
	right now we have closed the promenade from now till about March 1st to allow that work to occur. We know that's an inconvenience,	03:18:30
	but it's another one of those ones where it's a minor inconvenience for a major benefit and and a major project to the community.	03:18:38
	So that project is taking place.	03:18:45
	People can go out and kind of from the edge of the promenade could see some of the work taking place there and hopefully we'll	03:18:53
	have our beach fully replenished in the next couple of months.	03:19:00
	And then?	03:19:09
	Seems like people care more about this than the dredge right now. But the, the all important swing set is being installed at	03:19:10
	Wanami Beach. Probably the question we get more often than any other is when is the swing set coming back? And so people probably	03:19:17
	see it taking shape today. We're we're actually building it this week and the installation is going to take a little bit more	03:19:24
	because we have to install the pad and some and some rubberized material.	03:19:31
	But it's being built as we speak. I think people can see it and we're hearing some excitement about it.	03:19:38
	But we expect it to be ready soon.	03:19:44
	It's probably it's still going to take a little bit to get the pad and the rubberized material and everything, but it'll be ready	03:19:48
	soon and we'll make sure we announce it the the minute it is available, so.	03:19:53
	And then lastly on January 21st, we wanted to just preview that agenda. Here's what we currently have scheduled. We have the	03:20:00
	presentation as noted a moment ago presentation scheduled for the Alaska Flight 261 memorial because this meeting will be about	03:20:09
	four days, I think it is before the the major 25th memorial ceremony. So we'll we'll provide that proclamation.	03:20:17
	On consent, there's a couple of grants that we're trying to work on that will be bringing forward to the council and we'll we're	03:20:27
	expecting to have those on that agenda.	03:20:31
	We also have a public hearing for a special use permit for the, it should say city and Port Community Benefit Fund 5K event	03:20:36
	continuing what we started last year, but getting walking through that and getting the permit for that event.	03:20:45
	And then two business items currently scheduled reviewing the legislative platform and then?	03:20:55
	The Citizen Advisory Commission and Measure you committee appointments.	03:21:01
	And we'll provide more information on those ahead of that, but those are the items currently scheduled for January 21st.	03:21:06
	And that is what I have to ask a question to city manager.	03:21:15
	The 5K event, is that going to be the run for the heart with the heart-shaped metals that we did. We're proposing doing a	03:21:19
	different theme this year and part of that is because it's a community benefit fund project, it's the city and the port working	03:21:27
	together. And so our teams work together and they have a different idea this year and and we'll get into it at that meeting. But	03:21:34
	the one thing I want to note is that last year we were trying to kind of make sure we got it in February and we.	03:21:41
	Having the weather issues and we had to cancel the event a couple times. So that led into one of the discussions was trying to not	03:21:49
	do it in February, which kind of.	03:21:53
	Men, it wasn't heart month or whatever that month is. So so they they looked at a new theme on a new date. So we'll be presenting	03:21:59
	that, but it's the council will review it and approve that.	03:22:04
	Thank you.	03:22:12
	Any other questions?	03:22:13
	OK, thank you. So we'll move to the Council member reports and comments.	03:22:16
	Council Member Perez, I have no reports and comments. December was a slow month for.	03:22:21
	My committees, thank you.	03:22:27
	Councilmember Comma.	03:22:29
	Yes, I was able to spend.	03:22:32
	Several hours with the new director of Ventura County Animal Services. We wanted to take them around the city and introduce them	03:22:35
	to all the different.	03:22:40
	Peculiarities regarding Silver Strand Beach, the Navy base, City of Oxnard, City of Port Wanami.	03:22:46
	And it was a really good.	03:22:54
	Good day Beacon, we had a meeting recently.	03:22:57
	We're at a critical.	03:23:03
	Juncture with beacon in terms of.	03:23:05
	Getting regional projects that matter to the stakeholders of Beacon and of course that means expanding the Science committee and	03:23:10
	looking at another increase on our on our budget.	03:23:18
	But there's there's alternatives 10/15/20 and 50% increase depending on what we want it to get out of Beacon and.	03:23:28
	I'm a 100%.	03:23:38
	Convinced that.	03:23:41
	Our our ask of Beacon, if we were to agree to some increase in budget, is to assume the role of our lead.	03:23:44
	Lobbying.	03:23:56
	Mechanism for maintaining our sand. I mean the.	03:23:59
	You know this every two years we go through this process and you know, we're we're not getting the allotment that we are supposed	03:24:05
	to get. We're getting sand, which is great, but.	03:24:10
	If we at some point we're going to have to have a conversation, the Beacon board needs to be 100% unanimous on any increase. And	03:24:16
	So what what I would need to know from this body is what are our expectations of Beacon? What, what do we?	03:24:24
	What are we willing to pay and what are we expecting return from it? I think they are. We have some great.	03:24:33
	Projects that are going that benefit the whole coastal zone membership of Beacon but.	03:24:40
	Each individual member has its own beach issues.	03:24:46
	And so getting Beacon to work on our issues while at the same time they're working on the Ventura issues, you know?	03:24:53
	A managed retreat at Surfers Point, the dam up there in Mattila Ha and the sand issues and all that so.	03:25:03
	And I just like to leave you with a quote. There's a.	03:25:12
	Person by the name of Dos and he says we vote every day for the world that we want to live in. We must also act and lead by	03:25:16
	example to deliver the world we want to live in and leave behind so.	03:25:22
	And at some point we're going to have to have a discussion here to give me direction as to.	03:25:29
	Where we want to go with Beacon on the funding and what are our expectations? So perhaps I'll.	03:25:36
	We should do it today, but ask for an agenda item on that.	03:25:43
	One of the things that.	03:25:49
	Beacon is continued to work on is trying to reestablish the kelp forest that was devastated by.	03:25:52
	By El Nino and the reason why that's important to us because kelp helps us retain sand on the beach and.	03:25:59
	So we're continuing with that. We want to add more professional services so we can get into more technical projects and that are	03:26:06
	regionally focused. In other words, City of Port Huenemes region, regional focuses, dredging, replenishing that beach every two	03:26:12
	years, making sure it's there because it has down coast issues, so.	03:26:18
	And then I just want to recognize Richard Rich Rollins, former mayor.	03:26:26
	You stayed through the whole meeting tonight. We appreciate you. Thank you. And you stayed awake. I think I just woke him up.	03:26:31
	That's it.	03:26:38
	OK. Thank you, Mayor.	03:26:42
	So I have a busy week this week. I am on Wednesday. We finally have a strategic planning meeting planned for RDP on Wednesday and	03:26:47
	then Thursday I will be attending the Navy League luncheon and AWA meeting at 3:00 and B Cog at 4:00. So I've got a busy week and	03:26:56
	next week no meetings planned. We have oh except for the mural debrief.	03:27:05
	On Monday, thank you city manager for finally getting that scheduled. It's I know it's kind of like herding cats trying to get	03:27:15
	everybody's schedule.	03:27:18
	Together and then I've got Skag meeting on the 16th, so I'll have more to report at our next meeting.	03:27:22
	Thank you.	03:27:30
	Mayor Pro Tem.	03:27:31
	Well, I was not on any committees, so I have nothing to report, but I do want to say, John, thank you for the presentation. That	03:27:35
	was awesome. Learned a lot. Austin, thank you for clarifying a few things. Appreciate it.	03:27:41
	Thank you. I haven't had any.	03:27:48
	Meetings this month, they've been all pushed back to February, so I'll start participating again.	03:27:53
	On.	03:28:00
	The 24th of this month, I'll be attending the city selection committee, the county to help fill some county position. So it'll be	03:28:03
	my first time, so I'm excited about that. The end of this month, the 28th through the 31st, I'll be in Anaheim attending the Cal	03:28:09
	Cities Mayor and Council Member Academy.	03:28:15
	And I'm returning home on the 31st, which is the day of the memorial, Alaska 261 memorial. So I'm hoping to be able to make it	03:28:22
	back in time for that, but that's all that I have.	03:28:28
	So we're going to go ahead and move to request for future agenda items.	03:28:37
	Anyone. Council member Gama.	03:28:44
	This doesn't have to be like.	03:28:49
	And quick order, but I think we should have.	03:28:51
	Goals and objective agenda item for Beacon in the city of Port Wanami.	03:28:56
	Again, it doesn't have to be within a month.	03:29:02
	There so but.	03:29:04
	All in favor, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously.	03:29:08
	Councilmember Hernandez, Yes, I have one agenda item request and that is following the presentations, the public comments today.	03:29:14
	I'd like to request an item on short term rentals based on the information submitted by Paige Lapin.	03:29:23
	2nd.	03:29:35
	Second, all in favor, all opposed.	03:29:37
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	03:29:42
	On that quickly, can I just make sure?	03:29:45
	Are we just at this point there's no direction on it. So is it just an overview of where we are with short term rentals, what the	03:29:49
	issue is, what some of the solutions are that the options we have for solutions for addressing the problem?	03:29:57
	And I think.	03:30:07
	Foundational material has been provided to us through Paige Le Pen and I don't want to get into discussion mode, but could we also	03:30:10
	look at what other coastal cities have done?	03:30:15
	She's got that in her information as well.	03:30:22
	So.	03:30:30
	Umm, Councilman Gama had.	03:30:32
	Proposed parking.	03:30:35
	In the past meeting, I just want to know where it's at because we have residents who are struggling with parking and and it has to	03:30:39
	do with expanding.	03:30:43
	Their driveways, you know.	03:30:49
	Limiting the 40%?	03:30:51
	You know, greenscaping and.	03:30:55
	I think that needs to. We need to bring that up on.	03:30:59
	On the calendar.	03:31:03
	So Council.	03:31:04
	Received a report on sort of a variety of parking issues and then some options that we could analyze. And then council gave the	03:31:08
	direction for us to and the authority to contract with a traffic engineer, parking engineer and, and perform an analysis and then	03:31:15
	bring that back. And I think when it's been two months or so and when we did it, we said we estimated it would be four to five	03:31:21
	months.	03:31:28
	Because it's looking at kind of, it's not just that issue, it's like citywide parking and some options.	03:31:36
	So I know it's in progress because I've got some questions from the engineer about, you know, if certain things would work in our	03:31:41
	city or not. So, so it's in progress, but I'm guessing.	03:31:47
	And I think actually I might have actually talked to the department about, I think we were looking at a date like early like the	03:31:54
	first meeting in March, I think is when we thought we'd bring it back. So, so it's in progress and we'll make sure we we bring it	03:31:58
	back in that time frame. So.	03:32:03
	Great. Councilmember Hernandez, yes. I just wanted to ask before we adjourn if we can close an honor of the 174 injured law	03:32:10
	enforcement officers and those who office the four or five officers who lost their lives as a result of suicide following the.	03:32:19
	January 6 insurrection last year.	03:32:29
	Anything else?	03:32:38
	If not we we adjourn.	03:32:41
	And I can't remember everything you said in memory of the injured and lost lives of the law enforcement officers who?	03:32:45
	Who were killed during Let Me Start Over. Who died as a result of the January 6th insurrection? Great. Thank you. We're adjourned	03:32:55
	is 10/01.	03:33:00
	Thank you.	03:33:06
