	You're good at reminding.	00:00:35
	Yes, he is.	00:00:37
	Good evening.	00:01:02
	And welcome to the City Council regular meeting. I'm calling this meeting to order. The time is now 630.	00:01:03
	Please stand for the flag salute and if our mayor Pro Tem can lead us.	00:01:12
	Ready. Begin.	00:01:18
	I pledge allegiance to the flag.	00:01:20
	Of the United States of America.	00:01:22
	And to the Republic for which it stands.	00:01:24
	One nation under God.	00:01:27
	Indivisible.	00:01:30
	Yeah.	00:01:32
	Madam Clerk, please take role.	00:01:37
	Council member Gama.	00:01:40
	Councilmember Hernandez.	00:01:42
	Here, Councilmember Perez. Here Mayor Pro Tem Lopez present and Mayor McQueen Lejean.	00:01:45
	Here we are going to move to our inspiration that's going to be given by our Councilmember Gama this evening.	00:01:50
	Have a little PowerPoint.	00:02:05
	Let me see if.	00:02:08
	Gaelic Ben Athena Fela.	00:02:09
	Padre Courts.	00:02:12
	That means Happy Saints Patties Day, or Saint Patrick's Day, I should say.	00:02:13
	So who is Saint Patrick?	00:02:19
	He was a guy.	00:02:21
	Actually, a Bishop that.	00:02:22
	Brought Christianity to Ireland.	00:02:24
	And how did he do that?	00:02:26
	He did it with a Shamrock.	00:02:28
	Why the Shamrock? Well, it had three leaves.	00:02:30
	And it was very simple.	00:02:32
	Yet effective way.	00:02:34
	To express the Holy Trinity.	00:02:36
	The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.	00:02:38
	And he turned a nation.	00:02:41
	Ireland, which was a Pagan nation into.	00:02:43
	Highly religious Christian.	00:02:46
	Country.	00:02:48
	And everybody goes green.	00:02:50
	I got this ridiculous green jacket on which?	00:02:52
	Is suitable for today, but maybe not any other day but.	00:02:55
	Rivers turn green.	00:02:59
	Buildings turn green. Ventura had a parade this weekend. Everybody's Irish for the day, and guess what I had for lunch today?	00:03:00
	But many of you did as well.	00:03:09
	Even Moscow gets into it. Nowadays, Moscow hosts a.	00:03:13
	Parade. Saint Patrick's Parade.	00:03:17
	The first parade was in 1992 and.	00:03:18
	Ever since 1999 there's been a yearly Saint Patrick's Day festival in Moscow, which is interesting.	00:03:22
	Couple great Irish leaders of our time, John F Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Orveen Carpenter. He was mainly Scottish. He had a little	00:03:29
	bit of Irish, but at his funeral the other day his great great nephew who was pictured here, Nicholas.	00:03:36
	Had a Shamrock tie on I thought oh how appropriate so.	00:03:43
	He joins us today in our inspiration.	00:03:47
	So a friend of mine, Irish immigrant Mikey de la Hunte.	00:03:51
	He immigrated from Ireland to the United States. He came to Boston.	00:03:55
	And then he.	00:04:00
	Eventually settled here in Port Hueneme.	00:04:02
	And he?	00:04:05
	He worked at the.	00:04:06
	The top deck. This is not the top deck.	00:04:09
	He worked at the top deck for a very long time, saving all his tips, and eventually he opened a bar.	00:04:11
	And it's kind of interesting for Irish immigrant to open a bar called The Local. And so you open the bar in Camarillo.	00:04:17
	This is a little video he put together. I asked him, hey, could you come to our council meeting and be a part of this information?	00:04:27
	He says.	00:04:31
	No, because I'm very busy on Saint Patrick's Day in an Irish pub.	00:04:35
	That makes sense, but we did cut this video and I want to share it with you right now.	00:04:40
	Do we have a?	00:04:48
	Volume.	00:04:49
	Can we start over?	00:04:59
	There we go.	00:05:09
	Yeah.	00:05:10
	I see Curtis coming in. I think he'll see if he can get the volume.	00:05:25
	It's really a nice little video.	00:05:34
	Hope we get to see.	00:05:36
	Or hear it.	00:05:38
	You know, if you'd wear this jacket more to karaoke, you'd sound better.	00:05:42
	This is this Jackets only for tonight.	00:05:46
	Oh boy.	00:06:03
	So the locals in Camarillo?	00:06:21
	And he also owns the Beachcomber.	00:06:24
	His goal of having a pub is for everyone to come and be treated as friends and family.	00:06:34
	He's been in business for seven years out in Camarillo.	00:06:40
	Has a large collection of whiskey.	00:06:43
	Some of which go for 90 plus dollars a shot if you could believe that.	00:06:46
	He's has really good staff and they've been able to.	00:06:53
	Carve out a little niche market.	00:06:57
	And recently he.	00:07:00
	Bought the Beachcomber.	00:07:04
	OK.	00:07:26
	We'll just let it play through and I'll kind of.	00:07:28
	Read the subtitle here in Camarillo Springs.	00:07:31
	Been there seven years.	00:07:34
	First opened it. It was just beer and wine.	00:07:36
	After.	00:07:39
	Couple years, year and a half.	00:07:40
	He was successful getting a liquor license.	00:07:43
	He's a whiskey lover, he's Irish, so as soon as he got the license he started building a selection of whiskeys.	00:07:45
	It's got whiskies from all over the world.	00:07:51
	Including Kentucky.	00:07:53
	Ireland. Japan, Taiwan.	00:07:55
	We have a strong focus on handmade craft cocktails as well.	00:07:58
	Very extensive menu during classic cocktails.	00:08:02
	House creations, Everybody that comes here hopefully feels like they're wanted and needed, and they become a part of our family	00:08:06
	too. And if you're around, pop on by.	00:08:10
	How are the celebrations at Saint Patrick's Day in America versus Ireland?	00:08:15
	A little different here in America compared to Ireland. Don't get me wrong, we party just like the Americans do.	00:08:19
	But we also focus on the importance of Saint Patrick himself as a person.	00:08:24
	As a St. and what he did for Ireland.	00:08:27
	What he did for Christianity.	00:08:29
	The Ireland at the time was this Pagan nation. He used the Shamrock to spread Christianity.	00:08:31
	Using the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.	00:08:38
	And from obviously there.	00:08:40
	Irish immigrants, we spread all over the world and we brought Christianity with us.	00:08:42
	What do you credit your success in America? Irish immigrant? I think being an Irish immigrant helped me.	00:08:46
	In the sense that I brought part of my Irish culture to Camarillo Springs.	00:08:51
	Sharing culture and creating a place like family.	00:08:57
	Would you own a business in the city of Port Hueneme?	00:09:00
	Port 1 Amy for sure. When I first got to America, I landed in Boston.	00:09:02
	After a few years, I left Boston and came to Port Hueneme.	00:09:07
	Where I worked.	00:09:11
	Where I met my wife and a lot of my best friends are from port winding me. I have a very strong connection to port winding I think	00:09:13
	if the opportunity ever arose.	00:09:17
	To build an authentic little Irish pub? Yeah, definitely, I'd be up for it.	00:09:22
	I believe Port Hueneme has a strong community as it is.	00:09:25
	And it would make sense to open a small, authentic little Irish pub.	00:09:28
	To give back to the community that made me feel so at home. Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all you the local sometimes lunch a.	00:09:32
	Thank you.	00:09:40
	Thank you. Thank you.	00:09:44
	Will now move to public comments that are not on the agenda. Comments are limited to three minutes on the process. Will be the	00:09:46
	same when we hear the comments pertaining to the agenda. Madam Clerk.	00:09:51
	Do we have any public comments tonight?	00:09:57
	Yes.	00:10:00
	We'll first start with Becky Burning and then followed by Mark Martin Erickson.	00:10:01
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, council staff.	00:10:12
	An audience I'm here representing Rocapie Outdoors.	00:10:16
	This Sunday is our fish day out at the end of Winning Me Pier from 8:00 to 11:00.	00:10:20
	So bring your kids out and learn how to fish.	00:10:26
	I'm going to switch.	00:10:30
	And I'm representing the wine Amy sister cities.	00:10:33
	We're having our first fundraiser dinner.	00:10:36
	On Tuesday the 25th act or being Carpenter Community Center.	00:10:39
	Tickets are $25 each and you can get those online.	00:10:44
	At our website. Thank you.	00:10:48
	Martin Erickson.	00:10:53
	Hold on just one second. You have a question.	00:10:54
	Becky, real question.	00:10:58
	What are the proceeds from the fundraiser go to?	00:11:01
	Oh, awesome. OK. Thank you. Thank you. Just for the record, that was to go to one of the local students.	00:11:07
	Thank you.	00:11:13
	Good evening.	00:11:18
	Mayor McQueen Lejeune, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez, members of the City Council.	00:11:19
	My name is Martin Erickson and I'm the Executive Director of the Ventura County Transportation Commission.	00:11:24
	VCTC umm.	00:11:30
	Happy Saint Patrick's Day again.	00:11:31
	To all of you.	00:11:33
	Especially those resplendent in in green.	00:11:35
	I it isn't.	00:11:39
	Honor to be back at the.	00:11:40
	City of Port Hueneme.	00:11:42
	The Transportation Commission.	00:11:44
	Is a.	00:11:46
	Special district created by the state.	00:11:48
	That basically serves as the funding conduit for nearly all of the state and federal transportation and transit funding that comes	00:11:50
	into Ventura County.	00:11:55
	And I serve A-17 member board, which includes the five county supervisors.	00:12:00
	And a mayor or council member from each of the 10 cities in Ventura County.	00:12:06
	And the city of Port Hueneme is very ably represented by your mayor.	00:12:11
	Mayor McQueen le Jean.	00:12:16
	Who is also serving as our vice chair this year for VCTC. So I'm very.	00:12:18
	Grateful to her for.	00:12:23
	The time she spends.	00:12:25
	With her fellow commissioners.	00:12:27
	Sometimes grappling over the.	00:12:29
	What can be difficult decisions and how to allocate?	00:12:32
	The money that flows through our agency.	00:12:34
	But I'm proud to be here tonight to share with you our.	00:12:37
	Annual community impact report.	00:12:40
	Which I just shared with my Commission our last meeting. I've left copies with the clerk for all of you. Also some.	00:12:43
	Copies in the front for the public.	00:12:51
	But basically this is a.	00:12:53
	Kind of a snapshot of the many things VCTC does.	00:12:55
	Beyond just the Big Blue buses that provide regional service, the Metrolink system, the Amtrak train, we also provide the freeway	00:12:59
	service patrol.	00:13:03
	Hopefully you.	00:13:08
	You haven't had to experience that service, but that is a free.	00:13:09
	Service of roving tow trucks.	00:13:12
	On the 101 and the 118. And they will.	00:13:14
	For free, fix a flat tire. If you have a flat, they will tow you to a safe location if you have a breakdown. They'll even provide	00:13:18
	you with a free gallon of gas if you run out of gas.	00:13:23
	So that has been one of our.	00:13:28
	Our most recent and most successful programs.	00:13:30
	Another program that we are extremely proud of is our Access for All.	00:13:34
	That is a countrywide wheelchair accessible service.	00:13:38
	For any member of the county that we.	00:13:43
	Put together with the state grant we received just a few years ago, that's also been very well received and.	00:13:45
	Filling some of the gaps in our transit system especially.	00:13:50
	For those folks who have paratransit needs.	00:13:55
	And and and need wheelchair service.	00:13:57
	But it's obviously been a tricky year with funding.	00:14:00
	I'm happy to report our finances are in very strong shape going forward and I hope they continue that way.	00:14:04
	But again, I just wanted to share this report with you.	00:14:10
	And again, thank the mayor for serving.	00:14:12
	The city on our Commission.	00:14:15
	Thank you very much.	00:14:17
	Thank you.	00:14:21
	Apologies if I mispronounced this, but Dawood Mustafa.	00:14:22
	Dawood, Mustafa Ali.	00:14:26
	I hope that was right. Hopefully we do mispronounce it.	00:14:29
	Good evening, Madam Mayor. Madam Mayor Pro Temp.	00:14:34
	And the rest of the city can also.	00:14:37
	Into the audience.	00:14:39
	I would like to commend.	00:14:41
	Madam Mayor and your council members for the swift action.	00:14:43
	That.	00:14:49
	Came about.	00:14:50
	When I shared my concern about parking, some of the people who parked their cars on the corners so that when you are approaching	00:14:51
	the corner to make a turn, a right turn specifically.	00:14:57
	You can't see pedestrians approaching the crosswalk.	00:15:03
	And after I shared that concern with you.	00:15:07
	I saw.	00:15:11
	Citations being issued.	00:15:12
	The car, most of them are jeeps and and trucks that are very high.	00:15:14
	And so when you approach the corner, you cannot see.	00:15:19
	Of pedestrians coming.	00:15:23
	Across across the street and you can hardly see cars that are.	00:15:25
	Coming eastbound, coming from the West, going eastbound Pleasant Valley, I'm talking about that specifically. And so you know I, I	00:15:30
	was so.	00:15:34
	Odd when I saw.	00:15:39
	The citation on a specific vehicle. That was all.	00:15:41
	Always in a way.	00:15:45
	So I commend you all for their swift action.	00:15:46
	And The funny thing?	00:15:49
	Two Sundays ago when I was going home.	00:15:51
	I live on C St. and I was turning the corner and I saw parking enforcement right there on a Sunday.	00:15:54
	Issuing citations and I rolled my window down and I said good. And she gave me the thumbs up. So I commend you all for the swift	00:16:01
	action that you've taken and I appreciate it. You probably saved somebody's life.	00:16:07
	Are some some tragic incidents from happening with pedestrian? So I commend you for the swift action.	00:16:14
	I will stay for the meeting rest of the meeting but I have a.	00:16:21
	Meeting attend to myself.	00:16:24
	So thank you very much.	00:16:25
	Thank you. Thank you. And while we're thanking people, I just want to thank the staff as well and the Police Department and all	00:16:27
	those who participated in helping us do that swiftly. So thank you so much.	00:16:32
	Greg Ross.	00:16:39
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council.	00:16:50
	Rocking the green, I love it.	00:16:55
	I'm Scott, I'm Scottish, but it's OK, My wife is Irish.	00:16:58
	I'm going to start with this.	00:17:02
	Hopefully.	00:17:04
	I can find it on my phone.	00:17:05
	It's an audio recording.	00:17:07
	Of the port at 11:55.	00:17:10
	PM and it was March the 6th.	00:17:14
	11:55.	00:17:24
	That's what we hear.	00:17:26
	In our neighborhood.	00:17:27
	And I've got others, but that's that's one just as an example.	00:17:28
	So you all have.	00:17:33
	I hope a copy of this.	00:17:34
	It's an article. I did not search this.	00:17:37
	On a Google search or anything?	00:17:40
	It came to me.	00:17:43
	BBC is saying.	00:17:45
	That.	00:17:47
	Noise pollution.	00:17:49
	Causes heart attacks.	00:17:51
	Type 2 diabetes.	00:17:52
	And has links to dementia.	00:17:54
	And that's what we get when we live in a high density.	00:17:57
	Right next to the port.	00:18:01
	It's not right.	00:18:02
	And the port is just not.	00:18:04
	A good neighbor.	00:18:07
	I've been to their Harbor District Commission.	00:18:08
	Meetings and asked and.	00:18:13
	And Commissioner Rooney wrote it down.	00:18:16
	But nothing's happened. That was two months ago.	00:18:19
	Here's what I'm asking for.	00:18:22
	A sign put out front for the truckers.	00:18:26
	The truckers are not our friend either. They're they're.	00:18:29
	They're not, they don't belong to the port, but they're they're hired by the port.	00:18:32
	OK so I'm just asking for something like this and.	00:18:37
	So far, the Harbor District Commission.	00:18:40
	Are being very.	00:18:43
	They're they're, they're standing in the way of being a good neighbor.	00:18:45
	So here's where. Here's where it's really.	00:18:49
	Gets to me a lot.	00:18:53
	Every single member.	00:18:55
	On that.	00:18:57
	Harbor District commissioners are all in Oxnard.	00:18:58
	None are in Porto, Winnemi.	00:19:01
	That's not democracy.	00:19:04
	We should have at least based on.	00:19:07
	On.	00:19:09
	The population of Oxnard versus Port Hueneme, we should have at least one member on that Commission and we don't.	00:19:12
	It's not right. It's not democratic.	00:19:20
	And.	00:19:22
	They don't listen when I talk to you all. I love it because you look at me.	00:19:24
	When I talk to them, they're looking at their phone, they're looking down.	00:19:29
	It's not right, and then they want to argue.	00:19:32
	Whether they live in Oxnard or they live in Silverstrand.	00:19:34
	OK, well.	00:19:38
	I said my piece, thanks for listening.	00:19:39
	Thank you, Cesar Estrada.	00:19:42
	Hello. Good evening everyone.	00:19:56

	Whatever you name it.	00:21:52
	Is all produced here this basic?	00:21:54
	Now to make it short.	00:21:56
	There's like.	00:22:00
	I'm seeing like four or five or six or seven or eight or 9 or 10.	00:22:02
	Grants that could be available for public.	00:22:07
	Employment generation if we only start.	00:22:11
	On this.	00:22:15
	Small grants from UC A&R.	00:22:17
	About like the highest is that 25 Tau.	00:22:21
	It could multiply.	00:22:27
	Later on from the world.	00:22:30
	For the public in a big.	00:22:33
	All this I want to.	00:22:37
	To spread it all to you, to your emails, you can read all about the grants.	00:22:41
	That are available through.	00:22:45
	Not just the California conservation, but.	00:22:47
	From USDA.	00:22:51
	These are valid for.	00:22:55
	In the millions or.	00:22:57
	Could be B.	00:22:59
	Wrong. Thank you so much.	00:23:01
	Thank you.	00:23:04
	Dulce Satterfield.	00:23:06
	Good evening, council members.	00:23:24
	I'm going to start with the conclusion I decided.	00:23:26
	Council members the 50th anniversary of Surfside 3 Owners Association is looming.	00:23:29
	It's just less than eight months away.	00:23:34
	We won't aim for speech making or photo OPS, but one or more of you.	00:23:37
	May be invited to a modest shindig.	00:23:41
	OK, so 50 years, that's a lot, but looking back just November.	00:23:44
	I aired 5 questions.	00:23:50
	And none of them were answered.	00:23:52
	They were numbered one through 5. And then the broader questions also unanswered, but two of those questions I'm probing now, so.	00:23:55
	If I come up with facts, I will share them with you with.	00:24:01
	Whatever I find if you're interested.	00:24:04
	Anyway, none of the questions I asked.	00:24:08
	In November, we're about sandbags. But.	00:24:10
	This winter there was quite a spiel in this room about the readiness.	00:24:12
	Promoting sandbags, sandbags, sandbags.	00:24:16
	And The thing is.	00:24:19
	I earnestly explored in 2024 about hands on sandbag use in a shared carport.	00:24:20
	And then the board of the Owners Association opposed sandbags concern is the shifting of risk towards other folks in proximity.	00:24:28
	That's the rationale.	00:24:32
	So what's next?	00:24:37
	I found no written info on the city's website about any proactive infrastructure.	00:24:41
	Next steps.	00:24:45
	A public works list of three goals is posted, but those goals span just a few years.	00:24:47
	A few years out of a 10 year visioning plan.	00:24:52
	How about a new goal?	00:24:57
	To enhance infrastructure.	00:24:58
	It's time we think beyond sandbags.	00:25:00
	And stop pretending one thing fits all concerned.	00:25:03
	Condo homeowners are not second class constituents the last time I checked.	00:25:07
	Looking forward, it may take political will.	00:25:11
	To explore adding a catchment basin.	00:25:14
	Along Surfside Drive is a strategic enhancement.	00:25:17
	This idea was described 12 months ago.	00:25:19
	By someone technically respected and I was only CC D.	00:25:22
	So I know we have a broader spectrum of distinct areas in Port Hueneme.	00:25:26
	But if you assume the word sandbag appeases folks in high density zones, think again.	00:25:30
	Put yourself in the wet shoes of someone young or old rushing outside past midnight as recently as last week.	00:25:35
	With atmospheric waves of rain, yeah, we moved our cars.	00:25:42
	From the carport to slightly higher ground. Again a desperate and sleep depriving coping mechanism.	00:25:45
	So sandbags are not a silver bullet to rely on. We at Surfside Three are constituents. We So don't bury intelligent your	00:25:50
	intelligent heads in sand.	00:25:55
	And pretend that it's.	00:25:59
	Sandbag is a go to.	00:26:01
	Solution for all.	00:26:03
	I've supported candidates forays at Surfside 3 to Canvas in years past.	00:26:05
	So come and get to know our terrain and our stark exposure to backups of runoff from Surfside Dr. triggering sudden and	00:26:09
	destructive ponding.	00:26:13
	OK, I made it.	00:26:18
	Less than 3 minutes.	00:26:20
	So 50th anniversary in February 20252026.	00:26:22
	And then we just have one last public comment written.	00:26:28
	I'll read that to you now. It's from Jessica Camarillo.	00:26:32
	Dear Members of the City of Port Hueneme's Council, My name is Jessica Camarillo and I am a junior at Oxnard High School.	00:26:36
	I am honored to serve on this year's planning committee for the Arthritis Foundation's Walk to Cure Arthritis.	00:26:42
	Which will take place on May 31st at the collection.	00:26:48
	I'm writing to request your support and approving a proclamation to recognize me as Arthritis Awareness Month in the City of Port	00:26:51
	Hueneme.	00:26:55
	Arthritis effects millions of people, including children like myself.	00:26:59
	I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis when I was just four years old and still receive infusions every four weeks.	00:27:03
	Despite these challenges, I have remained dedicated to my academics.	00:27:10
	Maintaining and above 4.0 GPA and proudly playing on the Oxnard High School girls varsity volleyball team.	00:27:14
	I rarely share my condition with my peers because I don't want special treatment.	00:27:21
	I simply want to be seen for who I am.	00:27:25
	However, raising awareness is incredibly important to me, and I believe this proclamation would help shed light on the reality of	00:27:27
	arthritis and the need for continued research and support.	00:27:32
	I would also like to request if you would play the attached 2 minute video Faces of arthritis during the council meeting.	00:27:38
	It is a powerful video that highlights the impact of arthritis for all ages.	00:27:44
	If this is possible, please let me know what steps I should take to make this happen.	00:27:48
	I also want to personally invite each of you to join us at the Walk to Cure Arthritis May 31st, 2025.	00:27:52
	Your support would mean so much to our community working toward a cure.	00:27:59
	Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your response and hope to see you in May.	00:28:03
	Sincerely, Jessica.	00:28:07
	Mayor and council.	00:28:11
	So we did adopt A schedule of presentation items for this year at the meeting in May, there is room for one more item, so.	00:28:13
	Although we can't do it now as part of public comment.	00:28:21
	If there's an interest in from the council and adding that item, it can be added under future agenda items.	00:28:24
	And that concludes public comment.	00:28:33
	Thank you.	00:28:35
	And thanks to everyone who provided public comments tonight.	00:28:36
	We'll move to our agenda approval.	00:28:40
	May I have a motion and a second to approve the agenda?	00:28:43
	Move to approve.	00:28:48
	OK.	00:28:54
	Yeah.	00:28:57
	No, this is.	00:29:00
	This is the.	00:29:02
	To approve the agenda.	00:29:03
	And then we're going to go back.	00:29:05
	And talk about the consent. Do you have a change on the consent? Well, I wanted to ask if we could move one of the items up.	00:29:07
	OK. Yeah, I was hoping that we could move.	00:29:13
	We have the dredging project update.	00:29:18
	At the very end.	00:29:21
	And I believe there was going to be staff here.	00:29:22
	From the county I don't see them though.	00:29:25
	Who are going to speak on that item? And I just didn't want to hold them up.	00:29:29
	Because there's a lot on the agenda. Well, they're not here and so.	00:29:33
	We don't know if they're going to be here in time for us to get there. So we'll go ahead and move it with the approval and OK. OK,	00:29:37
	thank you. Can I get a, I think I got a motion, Councilmember Perez there a second.	00:29:42
	Second, great. Thank you, Madam Clerk and get a roll call. All in favor. Aye, aye. All opposed.	00:29:47
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:29:53
	Thank you. We'll move to conflict of interests. So does any member of the Council have any conflict of interest to disclose	00:29:55
	regarding any of the agenda items?	00:30:00
	Nope. Thank you.	00:30:05
	And we'll move on to our presentations. We're going to have Chief.	00:30:07
	Frederico, come up.	00:30:12
	Good evening everyone. Before I start, Giorgio did stop by tonight to say hi before I give the presentation.	00:30:27
	Where's the squirrel?	00:30:35
	Hey, Giorgio.	00:30:37
	Hi, buddy. He loves that. He's a squirrel catch, you know he loves.	00:30:39
	Always great to see him. I know buddy.	00:30:44
	You know the unique thing about having the non apprehend?	00:30:50
	Dogs is everything they.	00:30:52
	This guy has turned into a.	00:30:54
	Truly a therapy dog in the station, in the community. He wants to play and if you get him on the carpet, he just wants his belly.	00:30:57
	But he's super sweet.	00:31:03
	Thanks buddy.	00:31:05
	He's on everything, but not like he was the first time. Yes, and recently the officers were on a call with a military vet that was	00:31:12
	going through a mental health crisis.	00:31:18
	And you know, all our officers are CIT trained and they were doing a really good job with communication, but there was still a	00:31:23
	hard breakthrough.	00:31:26
	Officer Magana Joel there got Giorgio out of the car.	00:31:30
	Instant a guy hugged him and just got into conversations that I reminded him of his dog and.	00:31:34
	The cooperativeness.	00:31:41
	Came full force, so we're now going to look at the potential of.	00:31:42
	Putting him through some therapy dog training since he's a non apprehension dog.	00:31:46
	OK, lot of information to go over so I'm going to get this going.	00:31:51
	Towards the end we get to the homeless section, I'm going to have officers act from come up.	00:31:56
	And discuss the homeless part.	00:32:00
	If it works, maybe hold the questions at the end and I will try to get through this.	00:32:02
	As fast as I can. Where's my clicker?	00:32:07
	I'm always honored to present to you the.	00:32:23
	The hard work of your staff.	00:32:26
	The PD.	00:32:28
	All this is done an accomplishment with all the teamwork we do with the city Staffs.	00:32:30
	Everything that you support us for in the Council.	00:32:35
	And that the city manager does out of his office.	00:32:37
	OK. Reminder on our mission, vision and values, which we presented last year, leading our community's efforts and safety,	00:32:42
	enrichment and engagement.	00:32:45
	Serving our community with respect, compassion and courage and our values Respect, integrity, compassion.	00:32:49
	Courage and the uniqueness for us here in Winnemi is employee enrichment and Wellness.	00:32:55
	Our staffing levels.	00:33:03
	If you recall, last year you got bragging rights as a city.	00:33:04
	Have the first agency in the county that was fully staffed with.	00:33:09
	Sworn officers.	00:33:13
	It's very unique.	00:33:15
	Not only across the country, but very much so in Southern California. Everybody's.	00:33:16
	Trying their best to recruit the best and brightest into their organization.	00:33:20
	We did get up to 24.	00:33:24
	Sworn staff, which included the myself, the chief of the commander.	00:33:28
	Admin Sergeant.	00:33:32
	3 sergeants. We were able to take one of the operation sergeants, make them a traffic Sergeant.	00:33:33
	2 senior officers. The 12 police officers making up.	00:33:38
	One community resource officer. The motor officer.	00:33:42
	In the canine and one was a trainee.	00:33:45
	Understand this when we came to you for support last year or for.	00:33:48
	Tools and resources such as.	00:33:52
	You know, motorcycle and canine.	00:33:54
	We weren't adding full time employees. We were.	00:33:55
	Adding tools and resources.	00:33:58
	For the motivated team that's already in place.	00:34:00
	To take those and use them.	00:34:03
	In patrol.	00:34:05
	We have.	00:34:09
	For reserve officers.	00:34:11
	We were up to two community serve officers and then we brought parking enforcement.	00:34:12
	Back over to the Police Department, which was here.	00:34:16
	Another PD.	00:34:19
	Well over 20 years ago.	00:34:21
	Investigations Division. There's one Sergeant here running the shop.	00:34:24
	There's a senior detective and then a police officer detective.	00:34:27
	And we have one Sergeant on the Organized Retail Theft Task force leading a team.	00:34:30
	With of deputies and police officers.	00:34:36
	Our staffing levels with the administration.	00:34:40
	Our support services, we have our one manager.	00:34:46
	One dispatch supervisor and five dispatchers.	00:34:49
	We had a transition last year in dispensers, you recall.	00:34:53
	We lost dispatcher Ivan Vasquez at a very young age to cancer.	00:34:56
	And then we brought a board, Nikki.	00:35:00
	We've it's still.	00:35:05
	Losing Ivan at such a young age and last year in May.	00:35:09
	Was.	00:35:17
	Rough for the department, but the good thing was we had brought peer support.	00:35:18
	And some other things into the department.	00:35:23
	In time to help address that.	00:35:25
	Property and Evidence. One supervisor in the support services part Technician part time back there in property and evidence.	00:35:29
	And then in records.	00:35:36
	There are uh.	00:35:37
	To senior records technicians and we've held a spot in their vacant during all of last year.	00:35:38
	We have 11 explorers and growing. We just recruited some more.	00:35:47
	And three police chaplains.	00:35:50
	Call summary so 911 calls.	00:35:59
	We're at 7082. It's actually down from last year our administrative calls.	00:36:03
	Or 24 thousand 057, but that's also down.	00:36:09
	In the for the total calls.	00:36:13
	They're down from about.	00:36:16
	Altogether from last year about 33,400 to 31.	00:36:18
	1000.	00:36:22
	Our incident totals.	00:36:25
	For the department.	00:36:28
	Is 18,890. Incident totals from last year was about 16,700, so we are up that.	00:36:30
	Is also because of activity of your personnel.	00:36:37
	Doing more work in the field so that brings your total number of incidents up.	00:36:40
	Police reports are up this year by about 200. More at.	00:36:45
	1531.	00:36:49
	And the most common incidents are subject disturbing calls.	00:36:51
	And our.	00:36:55
	Traffic stops, disabled vehicles, those.	00:36:57
	Self initiated activities by your.	00:37:00
	Field personnel.	00:37:02
	Our homeless related calls last year were at about 10%. They're down a little bit.	00:37:05
	Between the five and 10% mark of our calls the problem with an exact number on homeless calls sometimes those subject disturbing	00:37:10
	calls are actually homeless related, but they.	00:37:14
	Did not get queued as.	00:37:18
	Homeless related calls.	00:37:21
	Quality of life incidents.	00:37:24
	Everything has gone up.	00:37:28
	With the exception of.	00:37:31
	A few less loud music party calls.	00:37:33
	And suspicious vehicle calls.	00:37:36
	Maybe, uh.	00:37:38
	The suspicious vehicle calls are down drastically in half, probably because.	00:37:40
	Word got out that we have flock cameras in the city.	00:37:45
	We have good response times and maybe people are prowling and doing less.	00:37:48
	Arrests.	00:37:56
	Are down slightly to 637. They're about 685 last year.	00:37:57
	Among those.	00:38:02
	Adult 595 and the 36 juvenile.	00:38:05
	Something that.	00:38:08
	Wanted to bring here was juvenile diversion which we got up successfully running.	00:38:10
	Last year working with our partners and county with probation.	00:38:14
	With the Sheriff's Department.	00:38:18
	And City Impact and the City Impact team has incredible resources that we can bring a juvenile who.	00:38:20
	Is subject to arrest but chooses to take a path.	00:38:26
	To juvenile diversion.	00:38:29
	To avoid the system.	00:38:30
	And if they agreed to that and the family agrees, we had four in this case.	00:38:32
	They all went through successfully.	00:38:37
	One of those juveniles even called back.	00:38:40
	To talk to.	00:38:43
	The detaining officer officer from.	00:38:45
	To thank him for giving him the opportunity for juvenile diversion and changing his life.	00:38:47
	These these four stayed on or three of the four stayed on with the program to do more stuff that they're doing at City Impact.	00:38:54
	And one of them apparently is even trying to.	00:39:01
	Be a mentor to other kids. So this is.	00:39:04
	This is good news and I hope to see those numbers grow.	00:39:07
	Your traffic citations.	00:39:10
	Are up.	00:39:12
	I had to note from 20/23, it was 784 to 1306. That's what happens folks when you put motorcycle officers out there.	00:39:13
	To slow speeding and other hazardous driving.	00:39:21
	Very proud of our.	00:39:27
	Average response times in this city? I've always bragged about it. Even when I worked in another city, I talked about how great	00:39:29
	the response times were in Fort Wayne, ME.	00:39:32
	And having an average of 2.3 minutes in today's world.	00:39:36
	For an average call is.	00:39:39
	It's great, we get 2 calls fast and sometimes the initial call are still on giving details to the to the.	00:39:42
	To the dispatcher while we're pulling up on scene.	00:39:48
	OK. As I mentioned, parking enforcement came over to the PD mid year.	00:39:55
	Right at July 1st we moved him over.	00:39:59
	And I was very happy to hear somebody come in.	00:40:02
	And praise the.	00:40:05
	Of your.	00:40:07
	Hard working parking enforcement officers.	00:40:08
	Sometimes.	00:40:11
	You just hear the negative and you don't hear the praise. The work they do is difficult.	00:40:12
	It's hard.	00:40:17
	But there's a reason for traffic flow and parking safety and things like that, so.	00:40:18
	If you see the.	00:40:23
	Top 2 lines are the six months prior to coming over.	00:40:26
	And then the bottom 2 are the six months.	00:40:30
	Here at the PD.	00:40:33
	The drastic difference is that green line. The green line is.	00:40:34
	They're following our respectful, compassionate approach and spirit of the law and how we.	00:40:38
	Handle enforcement in the city.	00:40:43
	And that is?	00:40:46
	Warning citations in green.	00:40:48
	And it's allowing people to change their parking behaviors.	00:40:51
	Before they have to cite them.	00:40:54
	The majority the reason why you might have seen a little bit of decline in the top bar.	00:40:56
	The first six months of the year.	00:41:00
	Was we suspended some parking enforcement?	00:41:02
	As a city after the storm.	00:41:05
	If you recall.	00:41:06
	The good news is, in these past six months, the majority of the red citations.	00:41:09
	Have been down at beach parking.	00:41:14
	I don't understand why people would still come to our beautiful beach.	00:41:16
	And not pay the lowest beach parking ticket prices I've ever seen.	00:41:20
	It's like $8 for the whole day like.	00:41:25
	So, but they're still out there and so.	00:41:27
	Parking does focus on that.	00:41:30
	Can I just say something? Thank you so much for explaining this line. I think if.	00:41:33
	If someone would review this report.	00:41:37
	Outside of hearing you say and I recall when.	00:41:41
	After the storm, there weren't.	00:41:45
	The tickets weren't being giving out, given out.	00:41:47
	So if you didn't have that information, you just look at this and say, wow, they're giving more tickets.	00:41:49
	But they're.	00:41:55
	They're given warnings as well.	00:41:57
	And so.	00:41:58
	That, uh.	00:42:00
	Top line I imagine if.	00:42:00
	We didn't halt.	00:42:03
	The tickets.	00:42:05
	Being given that, that line would be probably.	00:42:06
	The 449 and the 12:52.	00:42:09
	The warning? I even went on right along with both our park enforcement officers when they came over.	00:42:12
	And we talked about.	00:42:18
	My philosophy, the community's philosophy and how we want to approach these.	00:42:20
	And.	00:42:24
	Like I said.	00:42:25
	They either one of them will tell you right away what's the highest number tickets or what's the highest category tickets. It's	00:42:26
	now beach parking that's the focus.	00:42:30
	In a small community like ours.	00:42:35
	If somebody's blocking somebody's driveway or there is a there is a need or somebody has explained they called to complain about.	00:42:37
	Certain parking violations, they'll let us know.	00:42:43
	You know, they'll let us know we are doing proactive patrols in the neighborhood.	00:42:45
	But I think a community that's able to call in when.	00:42:49
	When it's a nuisance.	00:42:52
	Is a happier community.	00:42:55
	And then when parking enforcement is down, focused on the beach where people should be paying, it's clearly marked.	00:42:57
	Then that also makes for a happier community. And just one more question, if I may.	00:43:02
	So when you give tickets.	00:43:07
	Do you see where the car is registered at?	00:43:10
	And I get the reason I ask that. Are the tickets coming from people who don't live in Port Hueneme?	00:43:13
	Now, some of them are residents. If some of them are out and they're not running the plates, they're just issuing the ticket	00:43:18
	pretty quickly on an electronic device and then leaving it.	00:43:24
	Thank you.	00:43:29
	OK, I'm gonna.	00:43:32
	I'm going to bring you to the chart while I read these next two instead of having you on the paragraphs.	00:43:34
	So.	00:43:39
	Fort Worth Police Department.	00:43:40
	Previously utilized the Uniform Crime Reporting System, which has been the data collection method for law enforcement agencies	00:43:41
	across the country for many decades.	00:43:45
	This year, law enforcement agencies have now transitioned.	00:43:50
	To the National incident based reporting system.	00:43:53
	The change the neighbors from the former UCR system.	00:43:55
	Can make crime statistics appear higher in the first year of transition.	00:43:59
	This is primarily because Neighbors captures a much more detailed picture of crime.	00:44:03
	By reporting every offense within an incident.	00:44:07
	Versus reporting only the most serious crime in a single incident in the past.	00:44:10
	There are now multiple reported crimes for some incidents.	00:44:15
	That may have only had one crime reported per incident in the past.	00:44:18
	There are two categories.	00:44:24
	Shown here the property crime and the violent crime.	00:44:26
	Again, this is going off of what we could compare to last year's with the new numbers that they keep with the new system. So we	00:44:30
	did our best to.	00:44:33
	Try to match him.	00:44:37
	A significant increase in burglaries.	00:44:39
	Has nothing to do with the systems. That has everything to do with.	00:44:42
	The flooding we had.	00:44:45
	After the storm.	00:44:48
	That the community suffered.	00:44:50
	In late December 2023, over the next few weeks, we had several burglaries reported in the area.	00:44:52
	Where homes were left vulnerable after the flooding.	00:44:57
	Laughter.	00:45:00
	Properties were left vacant.	00:45:02
	And a lot of times we had to double check with folks and just make sure it wasn't something that was cleaned up in the removal of	00:45:04
	debris and property.	00:45:07
	If you recall, how much?	00:45:11
	Assertiveness. We did.	00:45:13
	As a Police Department in our vulnerable neighborhoods that were.	00:45:15
	Were vacant, we were making an arrest or we make an arrest.	00:45:19
	We were doing surveillance on some people that we weren't sure if they were there to help.	00:45:22
	Or hinder.	00:45:26
	We had a couple of foot chases. I was involved in one myself.	00:45:29
	And we got people in custody who were up to no good.	00:45:32
	Among that 24 hours a day.	00:45:35
	It's hard to be in there.	00:45:38
	And there was a few.	00:45:39
	Some incidents that would have been previously categorized under simple assault.	00:45:43
	Are now moved up to aggravated assault, so it looks like our aggravated assault numbers are.	00:45:48
	Or higher. This created a significant increase.	00:45:53
	That is due to the change in the system. So next year when I'm able to present.	00:45:56
	To similar systems under an Ibar under neighbors.	00:46:01
	It'll look.	00:46:05
	It'll be easier to compare.	00:46:06
	The other.	00:46:09
	Significant increase.	00:46:11
	In violent crimes category.	00:46:13
	Is that the from the homicide incident in 2023?	00:46:15
	To the two separate homicide incidents involved.	00:46:19
	With three reportable homicides in 2024.	00:46:22
	What you will see next year.	00:46:30
	Is a comparison between.	00:46:33
	The new neighbors chart.	00:46:35
	With.	00:46:37
	2024 and 2025.	00:46:38
	And as you can see, it's breaking categories down.	00:46:42
	To be more specific to understanding.	00:46:46
	What's going on in each crime trend and what's affiliated to a crime where they weren't tracking specifically the weapon or if	00:46:49
	drug use or mental health was involved, That is something now that we're going to track nationally.	00:46:54
	OK, every Police Department in California has DOJ reporting.	00:47:05
	Amongst.	00:47:14
	What you're going to see is I'm going to explain them and then on the next page you're going to see the outcome of our reporting.	00:47:16
	SB54 All individuals transferred from our custody to immigration authorities.	00:47:21
	Per the government code.	00:47:26
	You will also see death in custody and arrest related.	00:47:27
	Arrest related deaths.	00:47:31
	Law enforcement personnel say survey of the number of personnel.	00:47:33
	AB 953 The civilian complaints against police officers, the number of criminal and non criminal complaints and dispositions.	00:47:40
	AB71, The use of force reporting.	00:47:47
	Must be reporting use of force incidents that result in serious.	00:47:51
	Bodily injury or death?	00:47:55
	To a civilian and or a police officer.	00:47:57
	And then our repo reporting.	00:47:59
	Our Racial Identification and Profiling Act numbers.	00:48:02
	After each stop, an officer must complete.	00:48:06
	And we fill those out after.	00:48:09
	At the end of the day.	00:48:11
	So when I go to the chart, I'm always happy to report this. First of all, all your reports are available on Open Justice.	00:48:14
	DOJ.	00:48:21
	Gov.	00:48:22
	As far as?	00:48:24
	Transfers to immigrations.	00:48:25
	For the city? For what? You mean it's 0?	00:48:27
	Death in custody and arrest related deaths.	00:48:31
	Our law enforcement personnel survey 22 male, two female.	00:48:35
	Non sworn 3 mil and nine female. It doesn't count certain positions in the department of non sworn, IE the part time.	00:48:39
	So that's why I put the 12 next to it. That would be our full contingent.	00:48:46
	Civilian complaints against peace officers.	00:48:50
	Even Commander Albertson told me he doesn't remember the.	00:48:53
	Last time we had just seen one.	00:48:56
	One your folks.	00:48:58
	Your team is out there.	00:49:01
	Being assertive on the streets, they're making contacts, they're making arrests.	00:49:02
	You saw the numbers before you.	00:49:07
	In almost every organization that has assertive police officers out there.	00:49:08
	You will see a number of complaints. There are some people who will will complain.	00:49:12
	Just because.	00:49:17
	They got caught or.	00:49:18
	They disagree.	00:49:19
	We had one.	00:49:21
	One folks.	00:49:23
	Very proud of this team and their professionalism and their.	00:49:24
	Acts as respectful, compassionate guardians.	00:49:28
	Use of force reporting.	00:49:32
	A zero that met the criteria.	00:49:34
	Our RIPA stops there were 962 that were submitted by the deadline of the October count.	00:49:37
	With umm.	00:49:43
	Amongst those stops, there was 1047 individuals encountered.	00:49:44
	OK, accomplishments for 2024?	00:49:53
	We promoted one new support services manager at the end of the year.	00:49:55
	We've hired.	00:50:00
	We hired 2 police officers.	00:50:01
	And we welcome parking back, I mentioned that.	00:50:04
	We created the community resources officer position, so we took the cannabis HLO position and we've put.	00:50:07
	Schools and the other need for this trend in graffiti right now. I wanted to go back to a system where we were doing more	00:50:12
	tracking.	00:50:15
	So your community resources officer Zach from so he's built out.	00:50:18
	Some program for tracking graffiti.	00:50:22
	He handles some new programs we've started in the schools.	00:50:25
	As well as.	00:50:30
	Maintaining and monitoring the enforcement side of cannabis.	00:50:31
	And our homeless liaison efforts.	00:50:34
	We brought back a regular beach patrol. You might have seen the Polaris. They've even been out there myself.	00:50:37
	We brought back a regular.	00:50:43
	Scheduled beach patrol, especially on holiday weekends.	00:50:45
	I've seen many of you out there myself. When?	00:50:49
	Usually you're barbecuing or you're just hanging out the beach.	00:50:52
	And for the first time in the department's history, we added a second motorcycle officer.	00:50:56
	Not only increase in traffic enforcement, but folks.	00:51:03
	I know when the report was given.	00:51:06
	By Commander Albertson on the history of the motor program here.	00:51:09
	Where we brought the motor and it reduced fatal crashes.	00:51:12
	We took the motor away years later and we went years with an increase in fatal.	00:51:16
	Crashes.	00:51:21
	And uh.	00:51:22
	Since the motors been back.	00:51:23
	2022.	00:51:25
	There was two fatals. We brought the motor in 2023. There was one fatal crash.	00:51:27
	And last year there was 0.	00:51:31
	Now, you might have heard of two crashes involving deaths.	00:51:33
	There was one in front of Grocery Outlet.	00:51:36
	That was a medical emergency. That was not a fatal crash. That's that's unavoidable, very sad and tragic.	00:51:39
	Incident.	00:51:45
	There was one on hemlock with a young man.	00:51:46
	After the, our traffic team took that investigation.	00:51:48
	All causes of the crash, the speed.	00:51:53
	All attributing factors happened in the city of Oxnard.	00:51:55
	The vehicles.	00:51:58
	Original point of impact was in the city of Oxnard. The sad thing is the vehicle went airborne and landed.	00:51:59
	Across the street in the city of port waiting me. So if you understand jurisdictional, this was not our crash.	00:52:04
	That is a.	00:52:11
	City of Oxnard crash.	00:52:12
	So all the.	00:52:13
	Contributing factors are not in the city of Fort. What do you mean?	00:52:15
	We created a full time Traffic Unit. There used to be a motor or traffic officer in the history of the department.	00:52:21
	Collaterally a.	00:52:28
	A Sergeant overseeing it, usually a day watch Sergeant.	00:52:30
	We changed the game here.	00:52:34
	To take the.	00:52:36
	Communities concerns for traffic. Seriously. And you have first time you have a full time Traffic Unit.	00:52:38
	Which also allowed us to bring parking over and put them in the Traffic Unit. Which reassigned the CSO's to the Traffic Unit.	00:52:43
	And you have a full Traffic Unit.	00:52:49
	Again, other than bringing parking over, we did this without adding.	00:52:52
	Ftes we?	00:52:56
	We moved personnel around.	00:52:57
	Empowered them and gave them the equipment and the.	00:53:01
	The opportunity to handle the Traffic Unit.	00:53:03
	With that, another first for the department.	00:53:07
	Is the traffic the commercial enforcement equipment?	00:53:10
	Which I was thinking.	00:53:14
	BCTC friends as they really because that VCTC grant is what brought you.	00:53:15
	Your commercial enforcement.	00:53:20
	It was. All the commercial enforcement equipment was fully funded.	00:53:22
	By a $31,000 grant from BCTC.	00:53:25
	That is there to.	00:53:28
	Bring some safety and some security measures of our traffic flow, not just on the boulevards, but that which is coming from our	00:53:32
	port so.	00:53:36
	There's a, there's a, there's a lot of pluses to have a commercial enforcement.	00:53:42
	Team Umm.	00:53:46
	It also brought us our first drone. If you recall, part of that package was a drone.	00:53:48
	We've had success with using the drone outside of the traffic investigation field that it was originally brought for.	00:53:53
	We had some spacious subjects on the roof of a shopping center. In the old days, we'd get the fire department out there, our	00:53:59
	friends in the fire department.	00:54:03
	I love them because they have ladders.	00:54:06
	Beck and call and we would put two ladders up and have to do a tactical climb.	00:54:08
	On two sides of the building, Well, we have drones now. We don't have to do that. We brought the drone, we used it.	00:54:13
	I think Sergeant Bates used his dad voice.	00:54:21
	And gave commands to the suspects from the drone and ordered them off the roof so.	00:54:23
	It's it's got some successful use. We would love to expand the.	00:54:28
	Drone program, we'll talk more about that later because we are very close to.	00:54:33
	The ability to have a.	00:54:39
	Potential of a drone.	00:54:41
	First responder program, but we'll present that later.	00:54:42
	We got a Bosch crash data recorder in a new Lidar systems.	00:54:45
	Laser.	00:54:51
	The old radar.	00:54:54
	Speed gun. It's now Lidars.	00:54:55
	Which is a more accurate?	00:54:57
	Speed detector.	00:55:00
	And the Bosch crash data.	00:55:01
	Does everybody have one of those?	00:55:04
	Yeah, they're very unique, but it's the best.	00:55:06
	Vehicle reader for.	00:55:09
	Reading the computer in a car for crash data.	00:55:11
	And we have one of the unique ones that can read multiple cars.	00:55:14
	Very accurate and honestly on a risk management side for the city.	00:55:19
	It's outstanding to have that.	00:55:23
	Because in a lot of fatal crashes, there's a lot of.	00:55:25
	Engineering questions and stuff about the city, but when we have all the facts that we can gain for ourselves.	00:55:28
	It's a benefit to the city.	00:55:32
	We upgraded virtual retraining, virtual reality training for our officers.	00:55:36
	We upgraded.	00:55:41
	To a higher quality Taser 10, which is another useful.	00:55:42
	Tool to reduce injuries to both us and arrestees.	00:55:47
	And we upgraded our body worn camera system.	00:55:53
	We've had improvements within the station remodel after the flooding of 2023.	00:55:56
	It's we've.	00:56:02
	Worked within budget with that to get everything up and running. I told you I was even able to squeeze in I think when I talked	00:56:05
	about the Wellness presentation.	00:56:08
	Squeeze in a small gym at the back of the station.	00:56:12
	So.	00:56:15
	And we bought some equipment with that.	00:56:16
	With with grant money from the state.	00:56:18
	And you saw Giorgio as our newest K9 officer in five years.	00:56:22
	And there's a lot of community support for a second K9.	00:56:26
	Giorgio focuses on explosives and.	00:56:32
	And, umm.	00:56:34
	Firearms.	00:56:36
	The next one would focus on narcotics. You can't cross train them in that.	00:56:38
	But in both cases.	00:56:42
	They're able to.	00:56:43
	Sniff out people so not just for suspects but one with a lost child disappears or.	00:56:45
	Or one of our residents, our young residents with autism.	00:56:50
	Goes lost from the home at night. We can bring a canine out there and have them sniff the bedding and start looking right away.	00:56:53
	And find a lot faster than we can with flashlights.	00:56:58
	We've.	00:57:04
	Let's see hired 3 new Police Explorers. We hosted a regional Police Explorer Academy. We hosted Police Explorer holiday toy	00:57:06
	giveaway. Thanksgiving Turkey giveaway.	00:57:11
	Police explore car show Havana Knights fundraiser.	00:57:17
	The Explorers competed in two state and one national competition.	00:57:20
	The Sunny Horses for Kids folks came out and we did an event with them with our officers at the Boys and Girls Club.	00:57:25
	Wyoming Beat. We participated in Wyoming Beach Festival fun run events.	00:57:31
	Part of Wine Me Beach Festival.	00:57:35
	There's been a lot of backpack medicine events. I can let Zach talk about them when he gets to homeless.	00:57:38
	We did a really cool thing this year. We did the Autism Society of Ventura Counties ought to run.	00:57:42
	But we did it as a City team.	00:57:47
	We had.	00:57:52
	Other members of the department. Members of council.	00:57:53
	I wanted to walk.	00:57:56
	Council member Perez was like, no, you will keep running. If I'm running, you're running. I wanted to just walk the second-half of	00:57:59
	that thing.	00:58:02
	And it was good, but we had.	00:58:06
	Different members from different.	00:58:09
	Departments in the city plus members of our community.	00:58:12
	All running in camera rail for that. So that was that was a good day and we're gonna do it again this year.	00:58:15
	Special Olympics torch run participation, which again had members of the City Council, a lot of people involved in that.	00:58:21
	We hosted another National Night Out event.	00:58:27
	And our social media continues each year to increase over 10%.	00:58:30
	Talked about juvenile diversion. Justice Assistant Grant.	00:58:39
	With our county partners and city impact team.	00:58:42
	I won't get into that again as I already explained.	00:58:46
	4 juveniles, three of them stayed beyond their requirement.	00:58:48
	The grants spending on grants so.	00:58:51
	Juvenile or the justice assistance grant.	00:58:55
	We've used.	00:58:57
	$9140.00 of that in this year's budget.	00:58:59
	The Organized Retail Theft grant brought us $254,000.	00:59:04
	Officer Wellness and Mental Health grant, we spent all 20,000 of that.	00:59:11
	This year and the Prop 64.	00:59:15
	Cohort 2 and Cohort 3 grants although.	00:59:19
	There's hundreds of thousands going to the Boys and Girls Club.	00:59:22
	Through the the City Grant 64,000 came back to our budget to fund a position.	00:59:25
	Again, I mentioned VCTC 31,000.	00:59:33
	And our total grants that we attained this year.	00:59:36
	That we allocated this year was 379,000.	00:59:39
	151.	00:59:43
	Lots of community engagement and then it brings us to.	00:59:47
	Homeless with your community resources officer?	00:59:52
	Zach from.	00:59:55
	Some good numbers to report.	00:59:59
	Good evening, SO.	01:00:04
	Homelessness. I'd like to start with the graph on the right.	01:00:06
	It is just a heat map if you will, just the hotspots for calls for service. So if you see on the North End.	01:00:09
	Where the red is, it's generally around the mainly village marketplace as well as Olvera.	01:00:16
	The beach has gone down. We'll go over that in a second. So the point in time count in 2024 was 44.	01:00:22
	Individuals that were.	01:00:29
	Experiencing homelessness, so a point in time count for 20/25 was 21, so we decreased that significantly.	01:00:31
	With not only myself but our entire department just working with anyone that they can to at least direct them to me or I can	01:00:38
	direct them to the proper resources.	01:00:43
	Individuals House.	01:00:48
	In 2024 was one and the OS stands for out of state one individual who.	01:00:50
	Was primarily around the peer area. Some of you may have seen him with his girlfriend under the pier in the little.	01:00:56
	Table area and stuff like that. He's from Georgia.	01:01:03
	Experiencing homelessness.	01:01:06
	We've had countless calls for service on them and just.	01:01:08
	Initially was service resistant, which is.	01:01:12
	A difficult thing to just breakthrough to people that understand that there are resources for them.	01:01:15
	But eventually we got to him and he was just tired of living, you know, under the pier and tired of us coming out there talking to	01:01:20
	him and just wanted his life back so.	01:01:25
	He's from Georgia.	01:01:30
	He had family there that was one to take him in and we were shot to our county, county resources.	01:01:31
	And got him back to Georgia on a Greyhound bus. So it was a nice little success story.	01:01:36
	Him and his girlfriend.	01:01:42
	You actually send one of our officers, Officer, can you know a selfie?	01:01:43
	Of him and his his girlfriend on the bus going back. So it was a little heartwarming to see, You know, you always hear you send	01:01:47
	people off and you hope that they make it. And it was encouraging.	01:01:51
	We received that simple picture.	01:01:57
	So since the.	01:01:59
	CRO position.	01:02:02
	Previously was the HLO the homeless liaison officer.	01:02:03
	That was created in 2021.	01:02:06
	We have housed 5 people so it's a.	01:02:10
	Awesome. Umm.	01:02:13
	But the biggest difficulty, again I'll reiterate, is just people being service resistant.	01:02:14
	We contact individuals every single day, we offer resources and it's just whether they're willing to receive.	01:02:19
	The help and so.	01:02:27
	Speaking on backpack medicine as well.	01:02:28
	We met with them today, did a whole.	01:02:31
	Roundabout in the city, just trying to contact anyone that we can.	01:02:33
	And James Boyd, the director of all that, he's an awesome man and he's.	01:02:38
	Got his work cut out for him, but he spends time with our city which is awesome and he cares and he's always available no matter	01:02:42
	if he's in our city.	01:02:46
	Were in another city doing a cleanup or doing whatever he's doing elsewhere in the county.	01:02:49
	Yeah, frequency is increasing, so that's encouraging.	01:02:55
	Just because we're trying to breakthrough the service resistant people, letting them know that we don't.	01:02:59
	At the end of the day, we don't have to take him to, you know, county jail or there's there's actual legitimate help. There's	01:03:04
	shelters, there's there's these things for you, especially for veteran too as well. There's all these resources.	01:03:09
	So we're increasing the frequency of backpack medicine, so.	01:03:14
	We're going to be changing the date hopefully of the week just because of certain days off and things like that, but it's	01:03:18
	increasing, which is extremely encouraging, so.	01:03:22
	Yes, that's a good transition. So I've been working extremely closely with the Ventura County District Attorneys office and	01:03:31
	because of.	01:03:35
	The Grants Pass Supreme Court decision it now has allowed us.	01:03:39
	A little more enforcement options and so some of the previous laws that we were not allowed to enforce at all.	01:03:44
	Just kind of went to the wayside we're now.	01:03:51
	Allowed to enforce those laws, and mainly that has to do with private property versus public property.	01:03:53
	And so a lot of our.	01:03:58
	Issues, if you will, would.	01:04:00
	Generally tend to be on private property. The things you see at Mandalay Village, the things you see at Olvera.	01:04:02
	In various other places they now allow a certain.	01:04:07
	Codes that were allowed to use to may affect an arrest.	01:04:10
	If that's the last resort, of course.	01:04:13
	So encouraging things coming.	01:04:16
	Had a really good conversation, followed up one of my cases at the end of last week and they're actually filing the charges that	01:04:18
	we were previously not allowed to based off the Grants Pass decision. So.	01:04:23
	And Prop 36, thank you for everyone.	01:04:29
	Yes.	01:04:32
	Yep, cool.	01:04:34
	Any questions at all questions while I'm here, I do have one specific question for you officer, from how much of your time do you	01:04:36
	spend?	01:04:41
	With the homeless, is it your whole?	01:04:47
	Everything. I mean, you're.	01:04:51
	All day your job is to just.	01:04:53
	Be the liaison.	01:04:56
	If I'm at work and if I.	01:04:58
	I'm not going to the homeless related call and another officer is they will direct it to me. Call me out there.	01:05:00
	Generally.	01:05:06
	The guy to go to for homeless if I am there so I will get dispatched to all those calls. It may feel like it's all I do sometimes,	01:05:08
	but I have a lot of other responsibilities like Chief went over with.	01:05:13
	Schools and youth outreach and all that stuff.	01:05:19
	But I do spend a significant amount of time.	01:05:23
	Of everyday handling homeless related issues.	01:05:26
	Thank you. And I just want to thank you for that.	01:05:30
	We we see it from afar.	01:05:33
	And so just it.	01:05:36
	You know to have to.	01:05:38
	Come in contact with and and just.	01:05:40
	Umm, continually, you know, and not giving up.	01:05:44
	Yeah, is very, very important and.	01:05:47
	I'd say it's God's work. So I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, Councilmember. Thank you.	01:05:51
	The other day officer from I saw a U-Haul truck.	01:05:58
	And they were collecting.	01:06:01
	Beds and.	01:06:04
	Wedding and homeless stuff that was hidden where these spots were. Could you tell us a little bit about what that was?	01:06:05
	Yes, so we.	01:06:12
	Chief and I and a couple other other members of the department had a really good meeting with the property manager of Mandalay	01:06:14
	Village Shopping Center. I'm assuming that's maybe where he saw it. OK.	01:06:19
	And we had a really good walk through with them, did a really just deep dive on the entire property, the CEO that handles the	01:06:25
	entire.	01:06:29
	From Seattle all the way down to San Diego, came out and did a walkthrough with us.	01:06:33
	And we spent a significant amount of time there and.	01:06:37
	They're completely invested in that property, they love the property and they love that we're willing to work with them with	01:06:40
	whatever they need.	01:06:43
	And they're also willing to do whatever they can. And so that day.	01:06:47
	They just had a.	01:06:51
	I guess a clean up crew come out that handled over oversized.	01:06:55
	And soiled.	01:06:59
	Bedding and bulk items. Sorry that's what I was looking for.	01:07:03
	Bulk items. And so they're really doing a deep dive and I know that they were pressure washing, power washing the side of the	01:07:07
	house, the old House of gains right there and they're really.	01:07:11
	Invested in that property. When I saw the truck it was nearly full.	01:07:16
	Yeah, and.	01:07:20
	I thought that was a great example of communication with our community stakeholders working together and all that. So that was	01:07:21
	really nice to see.	01:07:25
	Thank you.	01:07:29
	Any other questions?	01:07:30
	So recently there was a.	01:07:34
	Treehouse.	01:07:36
	By KFC someone was there for looks like a little while.	01:07:38
	What was?	01:07:42
	What was the end result?	01:07:44
	Did he mental health drugs?	01:07:46
	Mainly mental health.	01:07:49
	So that trios was discovered, I'm sure many people have saw it on social media. It kind of made its headlines around.	01:07:51
	A lot of my friends that work at the LA County Sheriff's Department even sent it to myself and they're like, what's going on here?	01:07:59
	I'm like, all right.	01:08:02
	We're figuring it out.	01:08:05
	But uh.	01:08:07
	The property manager, what they were doing some tree trimming, they exposed this tree house. We would have never have saw it if.	01:08:08
	They didn't do any of the.	01:08:14
	The abatement with the branches.	01:08:16
	And so it was initially.	01:08:18
	Someone that was very service resistant resistant.	01:08:22
	And I believe he still is service resistant. He still frequents that area in the Wine Amy Bay Shopping Center.	01:08:24
	But yes, we have offered him.	01:08:31
	Help and we.	01:08:32
	Eventually, obviously, took down.	01:08:33
	The.	01:08:35
	So last question.	01:08:37
	How you know the?	01:08:39
	The waterways that are under there are.	01:08:43
	Do we frequently go through through there?	01:08:45
	Yeah, myself and Sergeant Perez over there, we love to get down and dirty. We'll go down. We have a key for the county entrance	01:08:48
	along.	01:08:51
	Just north of KFC, there's a little.	01:08:56
	Gate access down there we have our own little Batman style rope and we'll repel down into the canals and we walk through.	01:08:59
	All the way under the intersection, there's a giant L that you just can't see. It just goes down, connects to Channel Islands, and	01:09:06
	we'll walk it ourselves. And we walk it before every major storm. Every.	01:09:10
	Just to see if anyone's down there. We've had tents and we've encountered several people, dogs. It's.	01:09:15
	It's pretty wild sometimes.	01:09:22
	Thank you, of course.	01:09:24
	Yeah, Councilmember.	01:09:26
	Officer from Thank you for your work with our homeless situation in Port Wine, Amy.	01:09:28
	Umm, I remember hearing. I'm not sure if it was at a port meeting or this meeting.	01:09:34
	Residents from Harbor Lights complaining about.	01:09:39
	People screaming and yelling they have but.	01:09:42
	Right against Mandalay.	01:09:45
	Village Shopping Center.	01:09:46
	Have you had any discussions with the HOA there about the walkthrough you did and the cleanup efforts that the.	01:09:48
	The shopping center took on. I think they'd really like to know.	01:09:56
	That you've made some progress there.	01:09:59
	Yes, we do meet with their HOA's especially, mainly our beat coordinator for that area as well.	01:10:01
	And so I have experienced that as well, even just driving through, even hearing that.	01:10:08
	It's kind of hard to sometimes know where it's coming from because things echo off certain structures.	01:10:12
	But umm.	01:10:17
	I will follow up with our B coordinator to make sure that's addressed.	01:10:19
	Thank you.	01:10:22
	All right, of course.	01:10:28
	When they signed up to be peace officers, they didn't know they'd be repelling into canals, did you?	01:10:29
	But they go above and beyond. That's the services you get here from this Police Department.	01:10:37
	And again, when we deal with the canals too, we have to do it in conjunction with communicating with Oxnard if they're going to do	01:10:41
	some type of activity or clean up in the city of Oxnard.	01:10:45
	We need to be ready because the next place.	01:10:49
	Individuals may want to go is there so.	01:10:52
	We do cleanups in those canals compassionately before the storms, plus we check for debris and communicate with our county	01:10:54
	partners and public works.	01:10:58
	If we go down there and find debris that needs to get moved out before storm.	01:11:01
	And.	01:11:06
	We regularly go down there just to look for people.	01:11:07
	All right.	01:11:11
	With that, questions on.	01:11:14
	I have one question.	01:11:17
	In the slide that had the chart and you, there seemed to be a.	01:11:20
	A large jump from last year's 2023's report of assaults.	01:11:27
	To aggravated assaults was like 83 or 88.	01:11:32
	I know that you all are reporting.	01:11:38
	Based on.	01:11:40
	Possibly different definitions, yes. And you just so so we used to not we used to have to have things in conjunction with the	01:11:42
	reporting. So if it was it appeared to be a serious charge.	01:11:48
	But it was.	01:11:55
	There weren't significant injuries.	01:11:57
	Those didn't get counted. Now the injuries are out of play, which might have been a simple.	01:11:59
	Assault before.	01:12:03
	The injuries doesn't matter, the action does.	01:12:05
	Weapon does.	01:12:07
	Even though the person didn't get injured, so that got.	01:12:08
	Put into.	01:12:11
	The higher number.	01:12:12
	So next year's we'll look.	01:12:14
	Hopefully where.	01:12:16
	There will be a more defined number similar to that, either up or down.	01:12:18
	Yes, Mayor Pro Tem.	01:12:22
	So.	01:12:24
	There was a heat map of.	01:12:26
	Don House, do we have a heat map of like?	01:12:29
	Of this chart.	01:12:34
	We do. We have.	01:12:37
	Our Socrata based on our website that you can go to.	01:12:40
	And.	01:12:44
	We Where's Frank?	01:12:45
	Can we do?	01:12:48
	Sorry.	01:12:52
	The calls for service versus the Dyspo.	01:12:55
	And that's where that's where our technology gets.	01:12:58
	So with Socrata is based off of the heat map, it's based off our calls for service derived from our dispatch center. So there's	01:13:01
	functions where you could.	01:13:05
	You guys to go find a while what you're looking specifically it could be whether it's like a fight call, a transient disturbing a	01:13:09
	subject disturbing call. It will show you. And then you could do a comparison from like the year prior, year of or like a three	01:13:14
	month look. But it's divided off of our calls for service, not necessarily our status reported from our reports.	01:13:20
	I would just curious because you know if we have.	01:13:26
	Aggravated assault.	01:13:29
	Robbery. Uh.	01:13:31
	You know, things that are actual were actual.	01:13:32
	Events.	01:13:34
	And you can actually see the heat map of those.	01:13:36
	That would.	01:13:39
	You could actually see where all the.	01:13:41
	The issues are in a quick.	01:13:43
	Correct. And the visual we do have some calls for servers that will show like an assault or like a.	01:13:46
	Certain criteria that we have and if you go on the on the.	01:13:52
	The link with the Crata will show you and you can select them and it will show you those specific types of calls. So it doesn't	01:13:55
	capture all of our calls, but there are certain preset calls that we have in our dispatch center.	01:13:59
	That will umm, uh.	01:14:04
	Like a.	01:14:05
	A shots, fire call, vehicle theft, we have a subject disturbing call on there and you can sort it from that from there.	01:14:06
	And if any of you guys have any question, I'll be more than welcome to show you guys how to navigate the program so you guys could	01:14:14
	run your own heat maps because it's all open to the public.	01:14:17
	Thank you.	01:14:21
	And as we build out our technology there, especially now.	01:14:22
	We're gonna build out.	01:14:27
	The technology around the new Neighbors campaign versus the UCR. So when we build that the technology out with our city's got.	01:14:28
	Is built up some technology over the years, but technology takes time.	01:14:35
	Maybe we can hone it in specific to the next standard of reporting.	01:14:39
	Great. Any other questions, Councilmember Hernandez, Chief, thank you for your report. I wanted to know you mentioned something	01:14:44
	about.	01:14:47
	Building improvements, I wanted to know the status on dispatch.	01:14:51
	How's that just coming along? So we are waiting on some really good technology for them. We're funded for this in the budget.	01:14:55
	So we've done the physical build out, they have these.	01:15:02
	These great ergonomic consoles, the spaces there.	01:15:05
	But the technology build out we did, we are still standing by for some of the technology.	01:15:10
	It's going to be.	01:15:15
	A good technology with some advancements to help on our dispatching of calls in 911.	01:15:16
	It's on its way.	01:15:21
	Thank you.	01:15:22
	Great.	01:15:26
	Questions. Thank you.	01:15:27
	Thank you all.	01:15:28
	OK.	01:15:33
	Will now consider items on the consent caller, which will be enacted in one motion unless a council member has a request to	01:15:35
	remove.	01:15:39
	An item for discussion.	01:15:43
	Any items pulled?	01:15:45
	If not, may I get a motion and a second?	01:15:47
	Move to approve.	01:15:50
	Thank you, Madam Clerk, please we have any discussion.	01:15:53
	Oh, sorry.	01:15:55
	Umm, you're taking discussion on consent?	01:15:58
	Do we need to? I just wanted to say I just wanted to.	01:16:02
	Thank you.	01:16:06
	All in favor.	01:16:11
	Aye, all opposed.	01:16:12
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:16:14
	Thank you.	01:16:17
	We're going to now move into the public hearings.	01:16:27
	Madam Clerk, do you have proof of publication as required by law and a complete file of reports and exhibits for the Adopt A	01:16:32
	resolution granting special use permit #1?	01:16:37
	Through 25.	01:16:42
	5 For the City of Port Hueneme 2025 Movie in the Park.	01:16:44
	Yes, Madam Mayor.	01:16:48
	Thank you.	01:16:50
	Will staff present the report?	01:16:51
	Hi, good evening.	01:16:57
	Thank you, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council, members of the community joining us tonight. So this will be a joint presentation.	01:16:59
	I'm Jose Coyote, the associate planner here and.	01:17:07
	Taylor Penny is joining us recreation coordinator with the Port Wayne Amy Recreation and Community Services division.	01:17:11
	Before you tonight is going to be special use permit 125 named.	01:17:19
	2025 Movies in the Park.	01:17:24
	The applicants request is to hold a public hearing, known as the 2025 Movies in the Park, featuring a city sponsored Movies in the	01:17:29
	Park screening series.	01:17:33
	With approximately 500 to 1200 participants at Wyoming Beach Park.	01:17:37
	The movie series event is to occur on June 13th, July 5th, and August 22nd, 2025 from roughly around 8:15 to 10:00 PM.	01:17:43
	The event will include portable screens.	01:17:53
	A well one portable screen, a speaker system and ADA accessible mat, and a refreshment station offering popcorn and soft drinks.	01:17:56
	Oh, and so the general information here is this item came to City Council because an Sup at Wyoming Beach Park requires council	01:18:06
	approval.	01:18:11
	This event is considered to be exempt under Sequa sections 1530115304, E 15308.	01:18:17
	And 15 Three to Three has the project uses existing facilities and will be a minor and temporary use of the land and will be	01:18:24
	restored.	01:18:28
	Once the event is over, appropriate conditions of approval will ensure that the protection of the environment is kept.	01:18:32
	I'll now turn it over to Taylor to go over the event details.	01:18:40
	Good evening everyone.	01:18:48
	So as you can see this proposed site map, this will be our.	01:18:50
	Our 4th summer doing these movies at the beach. It's very highly anticipated and enjoyed by people from not just our county but	01:18:54
	other counties that come and watch a movie under the stars at the beach.	01:19:00
	So.	01:19:06
	This map is not to scale obviously, but we have the movie screen.	01:19:08
	That is just to the right of the pier with viewers facing.	01:19:12
	Towards the ocean, the first landing with the.	01:19:16
	Concrete tables is where we have the popcorn station at.	01:19:20
	And.	01:19:23
	We offer free parking throughout the beach We have.	01:19:25
	Depending on the weather and the movie, we've had from 500 to 1200 viewers come to the movie, so it's definitely.	01:19:28
	A summer activity that people look forward to hearing.	01:19:37
	And the next slide is just some photos to kind of.	01:19:43
	Grass. There are rec attendants serving some popcorn. The line goes pretty far out, but.	01:19:46
	Everyone gets a couple bags of popcorn.	01:19:52
	And then the other images are just some.	01:19:55
	To capture the audience and size of.	01:19:58
	How many people typically come to these events at the beach? Whether it was a foggy, kind of misty day, there was still probably	01:20:01
	like 5 to 700 people at that one or a clear.	01:20:06
	Evening that.	01:20:11
	The bottom picture was.	01:20:12
	When we showed Moana and it was about 1200 people there, no parking was nearby. It was a packed house.	01:20:15
	Moving over to the fiscal impact, once again, this is a city sponsored event.	01:20:25
	And beach parking is being requested to be waived, so revenues.	01:20:30
	Usually collected for beach parking lots ABC and along Ocean View Dr. will not occur.	01:20:34
	Strategic plan consistency. This is on two optimal levels of service for residents and businesses to support and establish	01:20:42
	programs and events that create a strong sense of community, pride and connection to our history and our heritage.	01:20:48
	And also safe and secure.	01:20:54
	Beautiful Community Upgrade our beaches, parks, city owned facilities and structures to provide a better experience for our	01:20:56
	residents, employees, community commuters and.	01:21:01
	Visitors.	01:21:06
	The recommendation before you is to adopt A resolution that conditionally approves special use permit #1-25 and find the project	01:21:08
	to be characterically exempt from Sequel.	01:21:13
	This concludes this presentation.	01:21:20
	This Council have any questions or take comments later?	01:21:22
	Question. Question.	01:21:25
	So I've been to two of these and they're.	01:21:28
	Awesome, hands down.	01:21:31
	Just out of curiosity.	01:21:34
	Did we get any complaints?	01:21:36
	Not that I'm aware of, none that came specifically to me. Maybe the line for the popcorn was too long when we.	01:21:40
	Mitigated that by bringing in more popcorn machines and so.	01:21:48
	Everyone typically gets 2 to 3 packs of popcorn. We are able to bring out the temporary accessible mat that allows.	01:21:52
	People in.	01:22:01
	Maybe wheelchairs, strollers, wagons where they're pulling out their dinners and and blankets and stuff out farther into the sand	01:22:03
	without.	01:22:06
	Chugging through the sand so that that Matt does offer more accessibility and convenience for people to get out closer.	01:22:10
	So we've.	01:22:16
	Over the few years I've been here leading this event.	01:22:17
	Heard and made some accommodations to make it a better experience. So like no noise complaints at all?	01:22:21
	No, not in regards to this event.	01:22:29
	And then it's farther out.	01:22:32
	Yeah. Are the speakers like pointing away from like Surfside or, you know, towards?	01:22:34
	It doesn't show.	01:22:40
	How the?	01:22:41
	The.	01:22:43
	So if you go to the next slide with the pictures and you see.	01:22:44
	So.	01:22:49
	You see the screen and if you can see kind of the.	01:22:50
	2 black dots on this left and right side of the screen. That's the speakers and they're just like normal like DJ side speakers	01:22:53
	and.	01:22:57
	IT projects enough to where you can hear it.	01:23:01
	Back by where the popcorn stand is. But if you're in the parking lot, you can't really hear You can.	01:23:04
	Tell something's going on down there, but you the sound doesn't like travel that far so.	01:23:10
	It's far enough into the sand.	01:23:14
	I don't believe the housing community is affected. We that I'm aware of haven't had any complaints in the four years we've been	01:23:17
	having it out there from them on this so.	01:23:21
	I guess the answer is no, no noise complaints on this event.	01:23:28
	And if I may, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez.	01:23:32
	We have the community development department and Code compliance. We haven't received anything for this specific events type.	01:23:35
	Thank you.	01:23:42
	I have a question, Mayor.	01:23:43
	Did you mention what movies?	01:23:44
	We're going to be playing.	01:23:46
	I have those lists pending which first trying to get approved and then I will the recreation team will announce the the.	01:23:48
	The whole series because there's more nights beyond this just at the other parks that don't require the SCP so.	01:23:55
	The full list will be shared probably in April, May time.	01:24:01
	Any other questions?	01:24:05
	No, OK.	01:24:07
	So we'll now open the public hearing. The public hearing is now open for public input.	01:24:09
	And the time is 7:53.	01:24:14
	Are there any public comments regarding this item? No public comments. Thank you. We'll close the public hearing.	01:24:18
	Public input has concluded. I will now close the hearing. It is now.	01:24:24
	753 So we have before us a recommendation to adopt the resolution continuum.	01:24:29
	Conditionally approving a Special Use permit #1-25 for the 2025 movie in the park and find the project Special Use Permit 1.2 Dash	01:24:35
	25 to be categorically exempt from sequa and take such additional related action that may be desirable.	01:24:44
	May I get a motion and a second?	01:24:53
	So moved.	01:24:56
	2nd.	01:24:57
	Is there any discussion?	01:24:59
	Council member Mike this doesn't include Miranda Park.	01:25:02
	Or does it?	01:25:06
	No, these three nights are specifically at the beach. There will be a showing at Miranda Park and.	01:25:08
	Potentially, uh.	01:25:14
	The newly bubbling Springs park.	01:25:15
	Nice. Yeah, because I just wanted to make the comment that when you did it at Miranda Park.	01:25:17
	It's the noise. There really isn't any noise. You actually my house is very close.	01:25:23
	I can see the screen.	01:25:29
	In order to hear.	01:25:30
	You have to walk in close, closer and closer you get you can hear it better so.	01:25:32
	The noise is.	01:25:37
	Is is not an issue so I just wanted to make that comment and I really enjoyed having it in Miranda Park.	01:25:39
	Brightens up the neighborhood, so thank you.	01:25:45
	Great. Any other discussion?	01:25:48
	If not, Madam Clerk, can we take a vote, please?	01:25:50
	Councilmember Gama.	01:25:53
	Yes, Councilmember Hernandez.	01:25:55
	Aye, Councilmember Perez. Yes. Your Pro Tem Lopez. Yes. Mayor McQueen Lejeune.	01:25:57
	Yes, motion passes unanimously.	01:26:02
	Thank you.	01:26:04
	We'll move to item number 12.	01:26:05
	Adopt A resolution granting Special Use permit #225 to allow the City of Port Hueneme to host.	01:26:08
	The Wine Amy Beach Festival with ancillary live entertainment stages.	01:26:14
	A youth youth wrestling tournament, soccer event, food and vendor booth, and art and crafts area carnival.	01:26:18
	A carnival.	01:26:26
	Alcohol boost and find the event exempt from Sequa.	01:26:27
	Madam Clerk, do we have a proof of publication as required by law?	01:26:31
	And a complete file, a report of.	01:26:35
	Reporting exhibits.	01:26:37
	Yes, Madam Mayor.	01:26:38
	Thank you. Will staff please present the report.	01:26:39
	Yes. Moving on to the next item, this will once again be jointly presented with myself, Jose Coiled, Associate Planner with and	01:26:43
	Frank Montelongo.	01:26:48
	Who is part of the Police Department but also coordinates with the Wayne Amy Police Explorers?	01:26:54
	And he is active, as I am on the committee for this Wyoming Beach Festival.	01:26:59
	So once again the item is winning me Beach Festival Special Use permit 2-25.	01:27:05
	The request is to, by the direction of the City Council, to continue to host a public event known as the Wayne Beach Festival.	01:27:11
	This event will once again feature live entertainment, a youth wrestling tournament, food and vendor booths, and art and crafts	01:27:16
	area.	01:27:21
	Carnival and alcohol booths.	01:27:27
	The festival is to take place on Saturday, July 12th and Sunday, July 13th from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM.	01:27:29
	With approximately 15,000 patrons per day.	01:27:36
	General Information Once again this is brought to the council because of special use permit on being hosted at Wyoming Beach Park	01:27:40
	requires council approval along with the closure of Ocean View Drive.	01:27:47
	Once again, this is consistent. This is considered to be examined under sequa based on the fact that this is a temporary minor use	01:27:54
	of the land.	01:27:58
	And there's conditions of approval that will ensure the protection of the surrounding environment.	01:28:03
	I'll turn it over to Frank now.	01:28:09
	Good evening.	01:28:14
	So the festival layout, once again, we'll be using Ocean View Drive that will be the main entryway to the festival walkway.	01:28:14
	With our first a tent, information booth, our food and general retail stalls.	01:28:20
	Parking lot B will be used as our.	01:28:25
	Host live stage area as in years past with our mainstage.	01:28:27
	We'll have all the.	01:28:31
	Outside perimeter of a lot B with our food.	01:28:33
	Of food services with the tables in the middle and our beer booth.	01:28:36
	Ocean E Ocean View Drive in the parking Lot C will feature our Carnival area.	01:28:39
	With additional food vendors down in that area with the beer booth and our arts and crafts along the aisle of Ocean View Drive.	01:28:44
	For Winnie Me Beach will once again be hosting our youth wrestling tournament.	01:28:51
	And.	01:28:55
	Jose will touch on this later Copacabana soccer tournament as well during the festival.	01:28:56
	And then on Surfside Drive, it will be, it's gonna remain unchanged. We're gonna have the right of way of traffic. So First drive	01:29:01
	drive will not be impacted with the road closures.	01:29:05
	Frank, if I could just note there and actually it works well for this slide too.	01:29:10
	Just to reiterate that this is the new.	01:29:15
	Layout that we did for the first time last year with the goal of reducing the impact on.	01:29:18
	Neighborhood, the neighborhood and the residents nearby and reducing the amount of St. closures and all of those things.	01:29:23
	And just, I know we'll get into more detail, but.	01:29:30
	In light of the questions on the last item about complaints, I just want to highlight that with this new.	01:29:35
	Footprint last year.	01:29:41
	It was the first time that the Beach Fest received 0 complaints as well with this this.	01:29:42
	With this proposed site plan so.	01:29:48
	We are proposing.	01:29:51
	Operating it with that same.	01:29:53
	Site footprint to.	01:29:56
	Really make sure that it ties in with the residents in the neighborhoods and the in the community.	01:29:59
	I'll hand it back to Frank.	01:30:04
	Yeah, so like James mentioned, this is the layout you'll see down at the bottom of the beach is where we plan on hosting the	01:30:06
	wrestling tournament once again as last year.	01:30:09
	We're anticipating having a higher turn out this year, last year when we did it.	01:30:12
	It was at the beginning of the school year, September, so a lot of the wrestlers are either playing their.	01:30:16
	There are fall sports, football.	01:30:21
	And other sports, so they weren't able to participate. So being in the summers during the end of their freestyle wrestling season,	01:30:24
	so they'll be more availability for more wrestlers.	01:30:27
	The Copacabana will be on the opposite side of the pier.	01:30:31
	For their tournament on Saturday will be the head they'll be having their.	01:30:34
	Their event and then there'll be an additional slide with their layout.	01:30:39
	You'll see in the green the back lot see again is where our carnival area will be at and extends out to the.	01:30:41
	The roadway into Ocean View Dr. aligned with all of our informational booths, our arts and crafts and the purple tans are usually	01:30:47
	a reserved for our sponsors. All of our sponsors for the festival is where they have their booths and then the blue on top.	01:30:53
	Last year we had our head security with Viper security, we had the real guppies and then it was like our command post for our	01:30:59
	explorers with all the T-shirt sales and information for the.	01:31:04
	The goers and then you'll see the mainstage or the tables and then the outline with the tables and the food vendors.	01:31:08
	So for entertainment currently, right now we're working on.	01:31:16
	I'm finalizing our lineup for the event. We're waiting on availability. We're checking with all the different types of musicians	01:31:20
	and the boards discussing on who we're going to be going with this year. Once we have that available, be updated and posted on the	01:31:24
	Winning Beach Festival website.	01:31:28
	For live music will again be provided on the mainstage. We won't be having a stage in the back this year. We're going to utilize	01:31:33
	the space again for more.	01:31:36
	We're going to put seating tables back there for parents or for.	01:31:41
	Festival goers, we would sit down in the back because that's one thing we realized we didn't have last year. And we're going to	01:31:44
	leave space from to add additional rides in the back instead of the secondary stage, so all the music will be in Lot B.	01:31:50
	And then we're exploring the ideas again of once again having a Banda, classical rock, pop, R&B and Spanish rock. So you have a	01:31:55
	variety on both days for the community.	01:32:00
	And then we're waiting on confirmation. But again, once again, we want to include the high school marching bands for the Saturday	01:32:05
	of the opening of the Beach Festival. We last year we had Wynnie High School.	01:32:09
	Channel Islands and Oxford High, they did their all bands perform and they kind of had like a drum off.	01:32:14
	A little performance they did at the end, so.	01:32:18
	We're hoping to get all them to come back. We're just verifying since it is in the summer. We just got to make sure the students	01:32:20
	are available.	01:32:23
	And then this is the information for the wrestling tournament.	01:32:28
	So again, it'll be on July 12.	01:32:31
	Will be hosted by Beats the Street LA, the Oxnard chapter. They are a nonprofit organization that offers free wrestling for the	01:32:33
	youth in the area of Ventura County, so they charge no fee for their training, so they use it as a fundraiser here.	01:32:40
	At the beach, though, the $3 per athlete, which is a typical price for a wrestling tournament.	01:32:47
	Whether it's here in our county or up North and South.	01:32:52
	We're anticipating 80 to 100 athletes ages as small as five years to high school or adults could participate.	01:32:56
	All athletes must possess a active USA wrestling card in order to be able to compete because it includes their insurance.	01:33:02
	And if they don't have one, they'll be able to purchase a $10 one day memberships without where they're covered for the event.	01:33:08
	And again, this is just the way the outline of the ring is not your traditional wrestling match, just a pool noodle ring mat and	01:33:17
	they're not allowed to wrestle on the ground is really more of a.	01:33:21
	Of a.	01:33:25
	A takedown, they gotta they gotta take him down from a standing position and when they get him down, 3 takedowns is essentially a	01:33:27
	win for the it's accelerated for the event.	01:33:30
	All right, and as mentioned by Frank earlier, there will be another event at the beach at the same time. This will be the Beach	01:33:38
	Soccer Tournament on Saturday, July 12th, organized by Beach Soccer Promotions, LLC with free admission.	01:33:45
	So event guests can actually travel on outward. I'll have the site plan available in the next slide to show how the close	01:33:52
	proximity it is to the Wyoming Beach Festival.	01:33:57
	This type of beach soccer tournament was actually previously approved by City Council back in 2023 under Special Use Permit 2-23.	01:34:02
	And it was for a five year summer soccer series at Wanami Beach Park.	01:34:12
	To basically summarize what was approved, it is a.	01:34:16
	Tournament hosting 10 temporary soccer fields on the Beachy sand.	01:34:21
	Southwest of the pier with about 150 youth players. Total expected capacity between spectator staff and vendors is about 400	01:34:25
	persons at this event.	01:34:31
	And then the audience staff level is approximately 150 to 200 for spectator.	01:34:37
	And then ten adults for the hospitality and security aspect of running the administrative program along with referees, first aid	01:34:44
	personnel and whatnot on the field. But it is anticipated with a maximum of 400 persons depending on how many.	01:34:51
	Players sign up.	01:35:00
	Here, once again, it'll be on the northwest side of the pier, so it'll be completely on the other side, closer to Ventura Road and	01:35:03
	Surfside Drive.	01:35:08
	As you can see, there are the 10 fields that are replaced out there, and there is a small on the red there you'll see it's a small	01:35:13
	administrative trailer that pulls up and that basically helps them organize the event, set up the cones and whatnot.	01:35:20
	There's the Copacabana branding that the company uses to go ahead and advertise for this event.	01:35:27
	And once again, this was previously approved.	01:35:34
	And this was the day that they chose to go ahead and host this. We anticipate that the parking demand available both on Surfside	01:35:36
	Drive and Ventura Rd. along with all the open lots will be sufficient for both events happening at the same time.	01:35:42
	We'll turn it back over to Frank on to go over the security and parking plan.	01:35:50
	And just to touch really quick on Copacabana, I have been in contact with the coordinator. So they're on board having their event	01:35:54
	in conjunction with ours because they're able to offer additional activities for the parents as they're waiting for in between	01:35:58
	their games. So they kind of the festival.	01:36:02
	And they're going to be advertising our beach festival for us as well to all of their all their participants to know that it's a	01:36:07
	free event for the community and they go there.	01:36:10
	With their families after or in between games during the festival.	01:36:14
	So with security, the the festival is completely fenced off. We'll have our main entrance way. We have an emergency exit near the.	01:36:17
	The Alaska Memorial and then we have a 2 secondary emergency exits down in Lot C.	01:36:26
	That are marked and posted manned by our security company.	01:36:30
	All guests will be screened.	01:36:34
	By security before entering the festival, the Police Department will have staff to monitor the gate and screening areas as needed.	01:36:36
	Parking will be general parking for all event guests free of charge for the entire public.	01:36:42
	We're going to be using a lot a along Surfside Drive and Truro Rd. Market Street.	01:36:47
	And then last year we did have the port lot. They had allocated parking fronts as well and we included transportation from that	01:36:52
	lot to and from the main entrance of the festival.	01:36:56
	And then we'll have accessible parking in Lot A for a handicap and Surfside Drive once again will remain open for all circulation	01:37:01
	and for buses.	01:37:05
	As well.	01:37:08
	Once again this year, we're going to be having our.	01:37:11
	Youth Poster Contest. We're hoping to have a bigger turn out and participation this year. As you can see, these are all the	01:37:14
	posters that were submitted last year. The theme this year is Hello Summer.	01:37:19
	Prizes again is being sponsored by Lujan. Transportation will be $350.00 for each winner, which will come back to a council	01:37:24
	meeting at a later date to present the winners like last year.	01:37:28
	Will have two elementary for an upper or lower grade when junior high 1 high school winner this year for the pollster contest.	01:37:33
	So fiscal impact?	01:37:41
	Festival costs last year for the city was $35,000 and sending.	01:37:43
	In seed funding for the event, plus an additional $25,000 donation to the Please Explorers.	01:37:48
	For the event related services and the coordination for the event.	01:37:53
	The proposed changes for this year's festival and retroactively for 2024.	01:37:57
	Is to have the police explorers coordinate and manage the alcohol sales with the volunteers over 21 years of age.	01:38:02
	The police explorers to collect revenue from alcohol sales instead of receiving.	01:38:07
	The $25,000 from the city and the reason for the change?	01:38:12
	We determined that the city should not be involved in alcohol sales.	01:38:15
	And receiving the revenues from alcohol sales, so allowing the police exports to manage the alcohol selling. Their proper	01:38:19
	coordination help sets house offset the city's previous expenditure.	01:38:23
	When we pull the permit for the alcohol sales, it's under the Explorers nonprofit, so our alcohol safe handling certification, the	01:38:28
	insurance.	01:38:32
	And.	01:38:36
	Purchasing of the alcohol from the vendor, it has to be done under under a nonprofit. So like last year was done under all the	01:38:37
	under the police explorers.	01:38:41
	So that's the reason why for the change for this year.	01:38:46
	And then fiscal impact continued. City sponsored event, the parking revenue typically generated from the beach parking tournament.	01:38:51
	In general, visiting parking for all the lots will not be collected. That's one change from the soccer tournament from from.	01:38:57
	Typically when the Copacabana has it is since it is in conjunction with the beach festival. There won't be any revenues from the	01:39:04
	soccer tournament because it's free parking the that weekend for the entire room.	01:39:08
	Public The police maintenance and other service costs will be covered by the pre budgeted staff time but no additional expenses.	01:39:13
	The city.	01:39:16
	The we're hopeful that the festival is expected to achieve a similar financial results as last year, with the cost offsetting the	01:39:19
	business sponsorships, donations, vendor fees and beverage sales.	01:39:24
	The structure will mirror what we did last year.	01:39:30
	And hosting all the costs covered by the festival generator revenues.	01:39:32
	Moving on, strategic plan consistency, such as on three major pillars, optimum levels of service for residents and businesses.	01:39:39
	To support and establish programs and events that create a strong sense of community, pride and connection to our history and our	01:39:46
	heritage.	01:39:49
	Innovation and opportunity retain and maximize opportunities for local businesses as the backbone of our community.	01:39:53
	And finally, safe and secure and beautiful community. Upgrade our beaches, parks, city owned facilities and structures to provide	01:39:59
	a better experience for our residents employed.	01:40:03
	Employees, commuters and visitors.	01:40:07
	The recommendation before City Council now is to adopt resolution conditionally approving Special Use Permit 2-25 and to find the	01:40:12
	project to be categorically exempt from Sequel.	01:40:16
	That concludes this presentation. We're available for further questions.	01:40:21
	Have any questions, Council?	01:40:25
	Yes, with regards to the.	01:40:29
	Bands, entertainment, stage and all that.	01:40:32
	Is umm.	01:40:34
	Is there a headliner for each day or?	01:40:36
	Or would the headliner be in the middle of the day? Or is it programmed to be at the end of the day? Or have you even thought of	01:40:39
	it? We're working on it. Typically we have the headliner at the end of the day for both closing days. But I think we'll last year,	01:40:45
	I think the music we should ask for, any one of the bands could have been a headliner to close the event.	01:40:51
	Obviously everything's depending on our budget restraints on the type of.	01:40:57
	Of the bands that we could bring into the festival. So that's something that the committee is looking at to.	01:41:01
	To adjust and see how we're going to align the musicians through it throughout the day.	01:41:07
	So is.	01:41:10
	Midday.	01:41:11
	What's the most the best time slot for a band?	01:41:13
	Like a mainstream band that everyone likes. If I was a reference from last year, it kind of honestly depended on The Who was	01:41:18
	playing. Because what we noticed last year, for example, on Sunday we had a crowd in the morning for Santana and then we saw a	01:41:23
	crowd show us specifically for Twisted Gypsies.	01:41:27
	And then we saw a different crowd showing up once they knew the Banda was going to come on and like we saw the crowd that was	01:41:32
	there for Twisted just kind of went on. And then we saw a different crowd coming in for the.	01:41:37
	For the Banda, So I think it just depends on who's playing to try to see who's gonna be coming at what times.	01:41:43
	If I could just add there, because Frank and I talked about this and one of the things we're trying to do is.	01:41:49
	Have something for everyone, which is a challenge. Easier said than done.	01:41:54
	But we're looking this year to try to have a mix.	01:41:59
	Different types of music and also to kind of mix up the order where it's a little different from last year's order. It's not going	01:42:02
	to be the exact same order.	01:42:06
	So we're looking at.	01:42:11
	Sort of trying to make sure there's something for everyone and maybe the style of music that headlines one event might not	01:42:13
	headline the next event as an example, so.	01:42:17
	So we're working on that.	01:42:22
	Thank you, Mayor.	01:42:25
	And thank you, Mr. Montelongo and Mr. Coyote for your presentation. I have a few questions if the first one has to do with.	01:42:26
	The policy on service dogs I noticed last year.	01:42:34
	There are a lot of dogs.	01:42:38
	At the festival on both days.	01:42:40
	And they didn't all seem like service dogs. I was wondering what the.	01:42:42
	Screening processes, because it says that we have a screening process and no pets allowed. So I was just curious. So with the	01:42:46
	service dogs of an individual says it's a service dog, we don't have a way of editing whether it truly is or not. So we have to	01:42:52
	take it for word of mouth. So that's why. So if someone comes in with a small Chihuahua or Pitbull says my service dog.	01:42:58
	We have to take their word for it so.	01:43:05
	Luckily we had no incidences last year with the event, but as well something in the security was monitoring.	01:43:07
	And just actively knowing that we had we had dogs in the area.	01:43:12
	I think I saw somebody with three dogs, three large corrects there.	01:43:15
	All service dogs.	01:43:20
	I know we're adopting the special use permit, This is why we're here tonight, but I wondered if we're.	01:43:23
	Staff will be coming back with a budget.	01:43:31
	No. So we will be approving because we have $35,000 that the city is going to be.	01:43:34
	Providing a seed money, are we approving that? So the Council has already approved that when we.	01:43:39
	Council direction to move forward and so.	01:43:44
	Budget has been approved. The permit is being approved tonight and there's no.	01:43:47
	Planned future item.	01:43:51
	There's not another item returning to council. I don't recall seeing a budget.	01:43:53
	Do we not get to see the budget?	01:43:58
	We can send it to you, but I wouldn't recommend.	01:44:00
	Holding up the Beach Fest and scheduling another item to review it.	01:44:04
	Well, I would like the opportunity to discuss.	01:44:08
	Budget because I'm concerned.	01:44:11
	About the.	01:44:13
	City costs that we're not covering our city costs.	01:44:14
	And I'd like to know how we're.	01:44:18
	How we're monitoring them.	01:44:19
	And how we are.	01:44:22
	Covering.	01:44:24
	For them, because it does, the report does say.	01:44:25
	That.	01:44:27
	That the city does budget.	01:44:30
	For them, but I don't.	01:44:32
	Know how maybe we can talk about it on our one-on-one? Sure, yeah.	01:44:33
	Mayor Progen.	01:44:37
	Thank you for your presentation.	01:44:39
	I see that there's no soccer fees for the Copacabana.	01:44:41
	So how? How is that working? How are clubs invited?	01:44:48
	To this event.	01:44:52
	Yes, Mayor Pro Tem.	01:44:53
	So the other one functions as a for profit, if you will type.	01:44:55
	Facility. So they come in here asking for permission to use the beach and in an agreement they have to pay for the beach lots that	01:45:00
	they use. And then that's basically how that works out for us.	01:45:05
	It's a benefit for the city because they provide basic tourism and and that sort of thing.	01:45:11
	And another thing, they will charge an individual price, while they don't charge an admission price to spectate and be a viewer,	01:45:18
	they do charge for the children being a part of the tournament and that is basically market rate based on Copacabana.	01:45:25
	So we don't know what clubs are invited to this event.	01:45:33
	So typically the Copacabana is open. So if you go to Cal S soccer because it's a Cal style sanctioned.	01:45:37
	Soccer tournament though they're listed on the website so.	01:45:44
	They give discounts to teams that need to split up into multiple teams. They lower the cost for them because they know they got to	01:46:17
	split up their teams from their normal size.	01:46:21
	So and it's advertised for it like on our when we go out advertising the festival will also be advertising the Copacabana as well.	01:46:24
	And people within the soccer community know that these tournaments are out. So it just depends on what the each individual team	01:46:30
	for a club is registering for their tournament schedule for the summer.	01:46:36
	OK, so.	01:46:42
	The LCS.	01:46:43
	Promoting this specifically within their.	01:46:45
	Like they're collecting all the revenue from the beach festival completely. They have their own website. You go to Copacabana	01:46:48
	Beach Soccer and their websites there. I think they have three scheduled tournaments here in Winnemi or two. Are those ones coming	01:46:54
	up really soon? Then they have their mid-july 1 as well and the last one for the summer for for.	01:47:00
	Boys and girls yes. As boys and girls typically it's not Co Ed unless you're well Co Ed would be if you have a female player on a	01:47:07
	boys team but you'll have your female division than your male divisions will be your your teams for the event.	01:47:13
	All right. Next question.	01:47:19
	What I I went because I did go to the Beach Fest last year and I some of the.	01:47:22
	Some of the bands that were playing in stone, like they bring a crowd, correct?	01:47:28
	That Bruno Mars cover band was a hit.	01:47:32
	DJ Depeche Mode was good.	01:47:37
	So.	01:47:40
	My my plug is that was some good entertainment.	01:47:41
	That's all I have.	01:47:48
	Thank you. I had one more question.	01:47:49
	Yeah, so.	01:47:57
	Mr. City Manager, basically we're going to follow the model that we followed last year, correct?	01:47:59
	Yes. And I think last year for the first time in the.	01:48:04
	Beach Festival since I've been on City Council.	01:48:08
	Turn a profit.	01:48:11
	It broke even.	01:48:12
	It includes it didn't include city costs.	01:48:14
	I think it did.	01:48:18
	And we explained it last year. It's the $35,000 contribution in staff time for a committee. So that's the budget, right?	01:48:23
	OK, I.	01:48:29
	And.	01:48:31
	My next question.	01:48:33
	Is oh.	01:48:36
	So, umm.	01:48:37
	Will Copa.	01:48:39
	Cabana.	01:48:41
	Beach soccer.	01:48:42
	Because when they come for their.	01:48:45
	Three events in the summertime.	01:48:47
	They bring a lot of people.	01:48:49
	So is their footprint gonna be the same?	01:48:51
	As, say, last summer.	01:48:55
	Because they take up.	01:49:00
	All of BA.	01:49:02
	Surfside Drive, I mean, they bring a lot.	01:49:04
	A lot of people with them.	01:49:06
	Correct. So we anticipate having that overfill parking in the Surfside to Market Street area and the port.	01:49:08
	Lot as well as having the parking available there for their goers because they'll be closer to their event on the beach side.	01:49:14
	Right. And I imagine we strongly encourage them to go.	01:49:20
	Purchase her food in the beach festival because I know a lot of them.	01:49:23
	Go out and about to bring food back for their players and stuff like that correct and Copacabana and talking to them I'm working	01:49:26
	on a flyer So what they're going to do on their registration or e-mail blast is they're going to actually be disseminating our	01:49:32
	festival poster to them to all the registered participants and their acts again to put our information on their website as well	01:49:37
	that their their event for this fest this tournament is in conjunction with our free event to the beach so are they like super	01:49:42
	excited because.	01:49:47
	Well, let me ask you this way.	01:49:53
	Are they?	01:49:55
	Experiencing cost savings because of this.	01:49:56
	Joint effort.	01:50:00
	I think the only difference that with the event is the parking.	01:50:02
	Because though the the whole beach park area is free parking because of the beach festival.	01:50:05
	So all the soccer players will get so the families of the teams coming to participate in the soccer tournament instead of having	01:50:11
	to pay their $8.	01:50:15
	All day parking paths of the family to come wash their children, play soccer, they now get to come enjoy for free because parking	01:50:19
	is free that weekend, right? So it's the cost of the family. They don't have to.	01:50:23
	In court to come to do they pay other fees to be on Winning Me Beach?	01:50:28
	Though any other fee they pay is a registration for the tournament, so it'd be the parking fee and then the.	01:50:32
	Your the beach parking fee to park and then their entry to the tournament. Are we gonna adjust their registration fees since	01:50:36
	they're getting free parking? Are we gonna kind of kind of make it up in another way or they don't pay the city any other fees	01:50:41
	other than parking other than other than they paid for their permit initially?	01:50:46
	And which is already paid for so, so we won't have any.	01:50:51
	We don't have a way to increase any fees for them to offset.	01:50:55
	I think 1 positive though is that the.	01:50:59
	The port.	01:51:02
	Last year graciously provided parking.	01:51:03
	And we didn't really have enough people to use it.	01:51:07
	And so we talked with the port about the advantage of this year.	01:51:10
	If if they provide that parking that it'll actually be widely used and it'll they'll be able to.	01:51:14
	Were really advertised the appreciation to the port.	01:51:20
	So the soccer tournament.	01:51:23
	Although we lose the.	01:51:26
	The parking revenue from their regular event.	01:51:28
	It actually will allow us to better use our resources for the Beach Fest event.	01:51:31
	And then yes, the hope is that.	01:51:36
	We're offsetting that cost by having all of those families join the beach fest and shop and eat and support the beach vest.	01:51:38
	Yeah, we've always, I've always interacted with Copa.	01:51:46
	A lot and during beach cleanup and stuff, and they do a magnificent job of cleaning up after themselves.	01:51:50
	However, the trash cans are usually overflowing, and it does.	01:51:57
	Necessitate.	01:52:01
	Staff time on the beach to remove all the trash.	01:52:02
	So we can work on allocating additional trash hands in that area then if that's a.	01:52:05
	The area of that, they need more trash cans for that area.	01:52:09
	That since we will have city staff there.	01:52:12
	Managing all the trash for the festival as well.	01:52:14
	Yeah. So that does that's a really good trade off because they're gonna.	01:52:17
	You're going to be out there anyways.	01:52:21
	OK, great, Councilmember.	01:52:22
	Hernandez, I'm going to pass on my question. We've spent enough time on this item. OK, Councilmember Perez?	01:52:25
	You said there's gonna be about 15,000 people. Are you actually counting? I know in years past they approximated how many people	01:52:31
	come in, but they weren't really.	01:52:34
	Keeping a tally? Are you actually counting your plan? We plan on getting an actual count this year so we have true numbers.	01:52:38
	Thank you. Great. Any other questions?	01:52:45
	If not.	01:52:47
	Do we have any public comments? Oh, let me.	01:52:49
	Sorry, umm.	01:52:51
	I'm now going to open the public hearing. The public hearing is now open the public input at.	01:52:52
	8/22.	01:52:58
	Are there any public comments regarding this item?	01:53:00
	Yes, we have one public comment from Dulce Satterfield.	01:53:02
	Good evening again and.	01:53:18
	Let's remember following public.	01:53:19
	Hearing there's consider the evidence is one of the follow up steps.	01:53:23
	So this is a hearing with a city run event. After a years long pause, the events grown louder and more ambitious.	01:53:28
	It seems that those doing the planning and.	01:53:35
	Analysis and here to.	01:53:38
	Make motions and vote.	01:53:40
	Can't be trusted to recognize.	01:53:42
	The proximity of hundreds of multifamily households.	01:53:45
	The go to stance seems to be to deem these.	01:53:49
	Condo homes as a noise pollution dumping ground.	01:53:51
	Tonight I heard about peace officers with respectful, compassionate approach.	01:53:55
	Why not some respectful, compassionate?	01:54:01
	Approach with the high density zone.	01:54:04
	Didn't hear mention of that.	01:54:07
	In the presentation.	01:54:09
	A mass murderer.	01:54:11
	Said that he.	01:54:13
	Wouldn't see people in the periphery of his.	01:54:15
	Target area.	01:54:19
	And likewise all of you when you're looking at these site maps, you see vague shapes.	01:54:20
	Around your footprint of an event and not thinking about.	01:54:26
	People living and breathing there, real people.	01:54:31
	Households.	01:54:35
	So we surf ciders.	01:54:36
	I could hide my ears, but we're not aliens. We can't transform them.	01:54:39
	And.	01:54:44
	We deserve the same safeguarding that the medically vetted standards in Government code have.	01:54:45
	For sound levels.	01:54:51
	Those standards.	01:54:53
	Inform our general plan and our municipal standards. Standards exist for a reason.	01:54:55
	Not umm.	01:55:00
	To be used only with favored populations.	01:55:01
	Now.	01:55:05
	Umm, last year.	01:55:06
	Van Clausen Associates revealed the city exceeds the well known standards.	01:55:10
	But the city cowers.	01:55:14
	Behind an exemption blurb in the Munich Code.	01:55:16
	And the Inception is not an end of story.	01:55:19
	I'm not here for legal lingo wordsmithing.	01:55:24
	But in the Munich code. But remember, respectful and compassionate. You seem to want that in other parts of your affairs.	01:55:28
	Do the homeless deserve that approach more than the multifamily households?	01:55:35
	At the periphery of your event.	01:55:40
	I asked leadership here and now. Consider the inhumanity.	01:55:43
	To the folks in the high density zone.	01:55:47
	And if.	01:55:50
	If our lives and health don't matter, that seems sad and ridiculous. I'm running short on time and I'm not going to do the deets	01:55:53
	about the.	01:55:57
	Sad and ridiculous, but.	01:56:00
	But I do want you to know the noise study is ongoing.	01:56:02
	And last year's study was a preliminary.	01:56:05
	If I can just respond.	01:56:15
	A bit miss settle field.	01:56:18
	You know that I've replied to you about the noise ordinance comments, and I've also been in communication with you about the.	01:56:20
	Beach festival event.	01:56:27
	We noted to start the presentation that the.	01:56:30
	Beach Festival is the.	01:56:33
	New lower impact.	01:56:36
	Footprint that we implemented last year, that we continue to implement. So I just want to note that I have replied to you.	01:56:38
	With information about.	01:56:45
	The noise ordinance and how permits.	01:56:46
	Work within those noise ordinances.	01:56:49
	And also that we have communicated about.	01:56:51
	Your concerns with prior beach vests and my understanding.	01:56:54
	Was that you had commented that last year's Beach Fest was much improved so.	01:56:58
	If that's not your opinion at this point then you and I can follow up but.	01:57:02
	I'm our staff is taking.	01:57:07
	All of these issues, seriously, we've put.	01:57:11
	Real effort into improving the situation.	01:57:14
	If the request is just to not hold the beach vest, I don't think that's fair to the community, but that's.	01:57:17
	That may be the request of one person, but I would recommend approving the beach vest permit at this time.	01:57:23
	Thank you.	01:57:30
	And there are no more comments.	01:57:31
	Great. Thank you. So the public input has concluded. I will now close the public hearing, the time being 8/26.	01:57:34
	And we'll have.	01:57:41
	We have before us the recommendation to adopt the resolution conditionally approving the.	01:57:44
	Special Use permit to find the project to be categorically exempt from SEQUA and take such additional related action that may be	01:57:49
	desired. Is there a first?	01:57:53
	A motion and a second.	01:57:58
	Move to approve.	01:58:00
	2nd.	01:58:02
	Great. Any discussion?	01:58:03
	If there are no discussion.	01:58:07
	Clerk, can you take a vote?	01:58:10
	Councilmember Gama.	01:58:11
	Yes.	01:58:13
	Councilmember Hernandez, Yes.	01:58:14
	Councilmember Perez Yes, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez.	01:58:16
	Yes, and Mayor McQueen Leon.	01:58:21
	Yes, motion passes unanimously.	01:58:23
	Thank you.	01:58:26
	We'll now move to the business items.	01:58:27
	Item number 13.	01:58:37
	The 2024 annual general plan and housing progress report.	01:58:39
	Will staff please present the report?	01:58:45
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, members of the council, staff and audience, Tony Stewart, Community and Economic Development	01:58:50
	Director.	01:58:54
	This is a short presentation. It's one that we're required to.	01:58:58
	Give to the City Council every year.	01:59:02
	And it's a report on the progress made towards meeting our general plan goals, particularly with regard to the housing element.	01:59:05
	And it also provides an annual report on the housing successor agency.	01:59:13
	And then?	01:59:18
	By April 1st of each year, we have to report.	01:59:20
	The bindings.	01:59:24
	To the States Department of Housing and Community Development or HDD.	01:59:26
	And the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation used to be known as OPR, but now it's not that much longer. Name to	01:59:31
	it.	01:59:34
	And this by the way, will be the last of the reports under this five year reporting period. And next year will be possibly an	01:59:39
	entirely new type of report, but this one's pretty much the one that you hear.	01:59:45
	Every year.	01:59:51
	And as a reminder, we primarily are reporting on the housing element here, which was officially certified by HCD back in October	01:59:53
	of 2022.	01:59:58
	And a refresher for everyone is that the state, through the housing element process, mandates what they call the regional housing	02:00:03
	needs.	02:00:08
	Allocation and for the city of Port Hueneme, it's 125 new units that would need to be built.	02:00:12
	By well planned for by 2029, they don't actually have to be built.	02:00:18
	At least not with this cycle. But HCD keeps making things tougher, so we'll see what happens with the next cycle.	02:00:24
	But for this one at least.	02:00:30
	We are required to plan for 21 extremely or very low income units, 16 low income.	02:00:32
	18 moderate income and 65 above moderate income which would be like market rate.	02:00:38
	And the income levels are described by the federal.	02:00:44
	Housing and Urban Development Department, or HUD.	02:00:49
	And then they are broken down by state and by county. So we of course would reply with or are required to meet Ventura counties	02:00:52
	requirements.	02:00:57
	And we are actually well underway to meet our arena in a couple of the categories. We have 16 Adus which do count towards those	02:01:02
	numbers.	02:01:08
	That were permitted last year and seven additional were completed.	02:01:14
	We do actually have 13 more in plan check right now.	02:01:18
	And so during the current cycle, which we started reporting on back in 21.	02:01:22
	Through today we have a 19 low income units, a total of the 16 that were required. So it means we're actually 3 above.	02:01:27
	Three over, so we don't actually need to.	02:01:35
	Plan for anymore, but it's a good idea that we do just given the market.	02:01:37
	And then we have 20 above moderate income units. Now we do still need to meet our extremely low, very low income requirements as	02:01:41
	well as some of the above moderate and moderate income requirements.	02:01:47
	So our housing element that was approved by HGD has 21 programs within it.	02:01:54
	And I'm happy to report that with all of the rezoning work that we all did a couple months back.	02:02:00
	We have now met all of our programs. They're all either in progress or they've been completed.	02:02:06
	Point SO.	02:02:13
	That's great news for us and it's good to report back to HD that we are not in out of compliance with our housing element at this	02:02:14
	point, which is always something that they are looking at.	02:02:19
	So with regard to the report itself, I'm not going to go into a whole lot of details. As you know in your packet there, there,	02:02:26
	there is quite a bit of it.	02:02:29
	Appendix. They describes our compliance with the various housing successor agency expenditures and production requirements.	02:02:33
	And because we've dissolved the successor agency back in May 17th of 2023.	02:02:42
	Most of those numbers are just.	02:02:49
	They'll continue to wind down basically with the activities, but the numbers themselves don't differ a year over year very much	02:02:53
	anymore.	02:02:56
	And so similar to last year 127,000.	02:03:02
	$488 in the asset fund was spent on administrative costs, which is actually under the amount that we're allowed to spend.	02:03:08
	The balance is a little over 5.2 million, of which 4.55 million is cash, which is equity and assets, including the properties that	02:03:16
	the city owns.	02:03:22
	And the fund may not accumulate excess surplus and the report, the numbers that were in the report and audited shows that it has	02:03:28
	not exceeded that. So we're in good standing there.	02:03:35
	And so that basically is my presentation. The big difference between last year and this year really is the report on the fact that	02:03:43
	all 21 of those programs have now been complied with.	02:03:49
	Thank you.	02:03:55
	Thank you.	02:03:56
	Start with Mayor Pro Tem.	02:03:56
	So my understanding is.	02:03:59
	The housing requirements from California are RHNA.	02:04:03
	I think that's the acronym.	02:04:08
	If we, you know, if we can't get builders to build.	02:04:11
	Did nothing. Nothing happens, right?	02:04:17
	Correct. So as I mentioned, we have to plan for them which we've done with all with the general plan itself, the housing element	02:04:19
	that was approved and then all of the rezoning that we just did. So we are in good standing with planning for them.	02:04:25
	So we set up the groundwork. But you are correct, we can't force a developer to come in and build something.	02:04:31
	That said though, with the new tools that we put into place, so to speak.	02:04:37
	We've made ourselves more marketable to potential developers. No Has anyone?	02:04:42
	Contacted.	02:04:48
	The city just.	02:04:49
	To maybe you don't talk about.	02:04:51
	Possible developments and what website?	02:04:53
	We've got some. We've got a couple folks that are interested in several of our sites. A Habitat for Humanity in particular is	02:04:56
	interested in our Pleasant Valley sites, which is what we were hoping that they would be.	02:05:01
	We just actually got the appraisal back, so I'll be meeting with the city manager about that within the next couple of days.	02:05:08
	And then presenting that to Habitat and hopefully moving forward with that. And so that should get us some additional good numbers	02:05:14
	and good development of those city owned sites there along Pleasant Valley.	02:05:20
	So last question.	02:05:26
	Since we've met the low income requirements for A to use.	02:05:28
	We're not rejecting.	02:05:33
	Any ad use anymore, correct? I mean, we're not allowed to reject 80, correct? Just want to make sure that yes, no one's coming in	02:05:35
	and we're just.	02:05:39
	Say no.	02:05:43
	If they come in and that they meet the the building code requirements, they're processed.	02:05:45
	Thank you.	02:05:49
	When it comes to Habitat for Humanity.	02:05:55
	I wish I could ask a question when you're going through your.	02:05:58
	PowerPoint, but you had a slide.	02:06:02
	Says extremely low, moderate.	02:06:04
	Listen to that wind.	02:06:10
	There we go. So where does does a habitat fall into moderate income?	02:06:12
	No, they're actually generally low income.	02:06:17
	So, but they can also fall into the extremely or very low, but they generally try to be within the low income.	02:06:21
	And so if we were successful in.	02:06:28
	Work with Darcy Taylor and Habitat.	02:06:31
	How many units would we be able to?	02:06:34
	Satisfy umm.	02:06:37
	In that Pleasant Valley, San Pedro area.	02:06:39
	Well, that's, that's a good question. We're thinking at least based on the appraisal somewhere between 15 to 19, but it really	02:06:43
	depends upon.	02:06:47
	How habitat will layout the? Would we approach habitat like going with the same?	02:06:52
	Genre because it's would we go with the same design?	02:06:58
	Because that would relieve.	02:07:02
	Architectural costs and stuff like that. Or would it just be?	02:07:05
	A whole new project.	02:07:09
	They've come to us with a few different proposals, but we're looking at something similar to what was produced over off of.	02:07:12
	San Pedro, which is the town home.	02:07:21
	Concept. Yeah, I would.	02:07:23
	I just think they're those are.	02:07:25
	Probably one of the best habitat.	02:07:28
	Developments I've seen.	02:07:30
	And those really look good. Those will come back to council we're working on. It would bring them back.	02:07:32
	My recommendation would be not to go too far into that topic on this item because it's not agenda as does that project, but.	02:07:37
	But when we bring it back to the council, we'll have an opportunity to go through all of those, all of those.	02:07:45
	Options.	02:07:52
	So when we look at the numbers though.	02:07:53
	Do we start checking off boxes like OK?	02:07:56
	X company. X development.	02:08:01
	I mean, do how do we how do we approach the?	02:08:03
	Satisfying these 4 categories, yeah, we track all of the numbers and we have to provide the annual report. So we track those and	02:08:07
	we provide an annual report to the state each year.	02:08:12
	So that's part of what we're doing tonight with this.	02:08:18
	Last question, have we got any above moderate income developments yet?	02:08:21
	Those would be basically the market rate. And so because we are no longer allowed by this state for instance, to consider our Adus	02:08:27
	going forward as low income.	02:08:33
	We considered them all to be above moderate, for instance.	02:08:38
	Great. Thank you. Any other questions?	02:08:44
	Do we have any public comments?	02:08:47
	No public comments. Great. Thank you.	02:08:49
	So we have before us a recommendation to receive the information and direct staff to submit an annual report to the California	02:08:51
	Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation.	02:08:57
	May I have a motion and a second?	02:09:03
	Move to approve.	02:09:06
	Second, great. Is there any discussion?	02:09:08
	Madam Clerk, can we have?	02:09:13
	All in favor.	02:09:15
	Aye, all opposed.	02:09:16
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:09:18
	Great. Thank you, Mr. Stewart.	02:09:21
	We're going to move to #14 item number 14 Utility Box Beautification Project details.	02:09:23
	Will staff please?	02:09:30
	Present the report once you get up to the table.	02:09:31
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council members, members of the public.	02:09:44
	So.	02:09:48
	Item 14.	02:09:50
	Is a follow up to discussion.	02:09:53
	And an item that was.	02:09:55
	Discussed at the February 18th, 2025 meeting.	02:09:57
	At that time, Council considered.	02:10:01
	Reaches requests to approve a utility box beautification project.	02:10:03
	Council approved the request, which included the use of up to 25 hours of staff time and the waiver of any fees associated with	02:10:07
	city permits.	02:10:11
	But requested that a map of the proposed locations.	02:10:15
	And additional information about artistic themes.	02:10:19
	Return to Council for their consideration.	02:10:21
	Subsequent to that meeting, staff communicated with REACH representatives.	02:10:25
	To obtain that information.	02:10:28
	That information is included in the staff report and summarized here in this presentation.	02:10:31
	The project proposes excuse me, to beautify.	02:10:36
	A total of 8 utility boxes in the city.	02:10:39
	And Reached Reach has identified 4 themes Military Chumash.	02:10:42
	Port and nature.	02:10:47
	And is proposing that each theme would be applied to two of the.	02:10:48
	Utility boxes.	02:10:53
	The project map illustrates the proposed location for the boxes.	02:10:56
	And Reach has indicated that the location of each box is connected to the theme proposed for that location.	02:11:01
	For example, the box that will highlight the Bard family.	02:11:07
	And its role in founding the port is located.	02:11:10
	Along Bard Rd.	02:11:13
	And the box highlighting the importance of the CBS.	02:11:15
	Is located adjacent to the CB Museum.	02:11:18
	So once again this is provided in response to councils request for a project map and additional information about the artistic	02:11:25
	themes associated with the project.	02:11:30
	It's recommended that the Council receive this information. Consider it.	02:11:35
	And provide whatever direction it deems appropriate.	02:11:39
	To reach.	02:11:42
	If I can add just one comment, if you could go back one slide.	02:11:44
	So we want to thank both REACH and the Council for bearing with us, because this is a new.	02:11:49
	Type of project I think first of its kind for here in port 1 E me and so we're still trying to figure it out and.	02:11:56
	When we had come to the Council.	02:12:02
	Previously.	02:12:05
	Sort of talked about, you know?	02:12:06
	Is there any further review of this?	02:12:08
	And I think Reach talked about.	02:12:11
	The one concern they have is really not getting into a situation.	02:12:13
	Because they're going to have a limited budget where the city is asking for revisions or refinement to the art and and.	02:12:16
	That having a cost to it.	02:12:23
	And so we had proposed the idea of.	02:12:25
	Providing a map with the locations in the theme which which we received and we appreciate that from Reach.	02:12:28
	I think looking.	02:12:36
	At this and really thinking through next steps.	02:12:38
	I do recommend that the Council.	02:12:42
	Consider tonight giving the approval or any modifications to this site map.	02:12:46
	And, umm.	02:12:51
	And moving forward with that.	02:12:52
	But with one.	02:12:54
	Requirement. Umm.	02:12:56
	Which is.	02:12:57
	I do think.	02:12:58
	Looking at this, one of our roles sometimes is to look for things that could be potentially.	02:13:00
	Controversial, or that, you know, that the City Council should get eyes on before moving forward.	02:13:05
	And so we do recommend or I'll say I recommend that.	02:13:11
	The council asked for one.	02:13:15
	Final round of approval.	02:13:18
	That the.	02:13:21
	Reach as they develop each.	02:13:23
	You know, they're eight pieces that they bring a.	02:13:25
	Rendering of those eight to the Council.	02:13:30
	And I think the the compromise we're asking for and that we're recommending is.	02:13:33
	Knowing our recommendations that the Council know that it's essentially a thumbs up or a thumbs down at that point for each of	02:13:38
	those.	02:13:41
	But knowing that reach does not have the resources to keep.	02:13:44
	Making revisions.	02:13:48
	So we think that would be sort of a reasonable approach.	02:13:49
	Everybody.	02:13:53
	You know compromise is often when both parties are not.	02:13:55
	Exactly happy with it, but in this case I think.	02:14:00
	The city's giving some leeway to get this project going, but then Reach also gives the city one more chance just to say yes or no.	02:14:03
	So we do recommend.	02:14:11
	That, umm.	02:14:14
	Like I said, we we apologize for.	02:14:15
	Sort of the process because being a new process.	02:14:18
	Sort of figuring it out and trying to.	02:14:22
	Find a way to make it work for everybody, but we do recommend that final approval.	02:14:24
	Yeah. Just quick question. So is it the intent to?	02:14:28
	That reach will submit all 8.	02:14:33
	At the same time.	02:14:35
	Or will we be looking at them one at a time as their?	02:14:37
	Complete. My recommendation would be that they come back one time with all 8.	02:14:40
	That it's better for agenda management, also easier for them. They don't have to come sit through eight more meetings.	02:14:44
	So that would be our recommendation obviously if.	02:14:50
	If something happens where they got 4 done and they you know, was going to be a pause before the next 4 or something, we could	02:14:53
	talk to them about that, but we'd recommend just having one item where they ate.	02:14:57
	Renderings come back knowing that.	02:15:03
	What we're approving tonight is the location and the theme for each of these.	02:15:05
	Yes, let's go with Council Member Perez and then we'll go to.	02:15:08
	Yes, I would also encourage and recommend that when they're making their.	02:15:14
	The artwork for this that they're talking to the appropriate parties.	02:15:20
	Or experts, for instance Chumash.	02:15:24
	Talk to the appropriate Chumash tribal people in the area.	02:15:26
	And get their.	02:15:30
	Buy in on whatever art is.	02:15:32
	Yeah. And that's sort of why we had as we took a look at it, we were thinking we really need like that one more approval is.	02:15:35
	We know.	02:15:42
	That themes with some of these groups there might be.	02:15:43
	Other people who want to weigh in or the public or other stakeholders, so we can encourage them as part of that to talk to, for	02:15:49
	example, the military, you know, the base about potentially the military.	02:15:54
	Themed one or the VFW or?	02:16:00
	That you mash about the Chumash theme.	02:16:03
	So yes, Councilmember, that's exactly where I was going, and I would even take it one step further.	02:16:04
	I would suggest.	02:16:12
	That we.	02:16:13
	Contact the tribal leaders and say.	02:16:15
	What would you like to see expressed?	02:16:18
	On our boxes, give them.	02:16:20
	Give them the.	02:16:23
	And same thing with the Seabees, the Bard family.	02:16:24
	Education. I imagine we could go to the Ventura County Office of Education and ask them.	02:16:27
	What would you like to see on there and that and that way?	02:16:32
	You know, at least we give them the control because obviously if we.	02:16:37
	Through certain protocols I know that the Chumash have.	02:16:42
	In artwork depicting their culture.	02:16:46
	And they should be the ones dictating.	02:16:49
	What artwork is going to go?	02:16:51
	And then like.	02:16:56
	For Creek and nature and I just feel like maybe we could get a little surf.	02:16:57
	Commun.	02:17:02
	Surf surfer somewhere.	02:17:04
	But I see the beaches doesn't have any.	02:17:07
	Boxes, but she's right there.	02:17:10
	#7 #7 OK.	02:17:12
	That's way away from the beach, but.	02:17:15
	Anyway, so I think.	02:17:17
	I think we should encourage REACH to reach out to representatives of these.	02:17:20
	The most knowledgeable representative.	02:17:26
	Representatives of each of these themes and ask them.	02:17:29
	What they would like to see?	02:17:32
	Any other?	02:17:38
	Question Councilmember Hernandez.	02:17:38
	Is this comment or question this questions?	02:17:41
	So, Mr. City Manager, did you have this discussion already with reach about?	02:17:43
	Making this recommendation no.	02:17:49
	Because I.	02:17:52
	Do we know if they're going to be using?	02:17:53
	Different artists on different boxes. Are they just using one artist because.	02:17:56
	Coming up with eight renderings all at once, or even 4 all at once, might not.	02:18:00
	Accommodate their.	02:18:06
	Approach.	02:18:08
	If they're going to be, especially if they're using different artists.	02:18:09
	So I think we do have some breach representatives today, so.	02:18:13
	Come on up to the mic.	02:18:20
	Yeah.	02:18:22
	Hello.	02:18:34
	So I can give you a couple of answers. First of all, we are going to go to Aldi's.	02:18:36
	Different organizations.	02:18:41
	We're not going to do what the artist is going to go to it.	02:18:43
	Whoever we choose to do the arting they're going to have, they're going to have the conversation and come back to us.	02:18:45
	So that was our always.	02:18:51
	In the plans.	02:18:54
	What was the question again? What was the original question? 01 Artist?	02:18:56
	We don't know.	02:19:01
	That's a good question.	02:19:02
	We don't know that. I know we have a couple that we're looking at.	02:19:03
	A part of the problem is their availability.	02:19:07
	We don't want to do it like tomorrow, we don't want to do when it's raining. We want to do it in the summer where we know the	02:19:10
	stuff is going to dry properly.	02:19:13
	So that.	02:19:17
	Been decided yet? OK.	02:19:19
	My question was.	02:19:21
	Is this recommendation in alignment with your plans?	02:19:23
	For painting all 8.	02:19:27
	Electrical boxes because you might have Will you have more than one artist? Do you plan on doing all?	02:19:31
	Eight at once. Well, even 4 at once.	02:19:37
	8 is pretty ambitious.	02:19:40
	Renderings for our approval seems I don't know.	02:19:43
	That it's realistic yeah 8 seems to be a little bit ambitious rich you gotta.	02:19:46
	Oh, here comes now. You're in trouble. Rich is coming.	02:19:52
	Yeah. Kind of like our overall approach is that we're going to be.	02:19:56
	Umm going out and marketing to get various different.	02:20:00
	Proposals from various different artists. We want to kind of review the artists.	02:20:08
	To make sure that you know they're.	02:20:12
	They're skilled that they're skilled not only in art, artistry, but also working with the community because each one of these is	02:20:14
	going to be tied in.	02:20:18
	Say with the Chumash community or the the military community. So we want that. We want a good buy in on both parts.	02:20:22
	I don't.	02:20:30
	They, I don't look that we're going to be doing all 8 at once. So like on the month of May, you're going to see.	02:20:32
	Eight of them out there, I think it's.	02:20:38
	It would be ideal.	02:20:41
	But I think the approach of perhaps maybe taking four at a time.	02:20:42
	Getting that.	02:20:47
	Solidly down as far as like the artwork, working with the community, we're looking trying to also we're looking to, you know, get,	02:20:48
	you know, the, the youth involved in and stuff. So like when we're looking out to picking those artists.	02:20:54
	It may be.	02:21:00
	A local junior college or college artists that we work with because they're really trying to make this a very organic community	02:21:02
	thing we're not trying to do.	02:21:06
	While we wanted to be professional looking and stuff like that, we really want to involve the community so that everybody can feel	02:21:11
	proud and happy about it.	02:21:15
	Very non controversial.	02:21:19
	That type of a thing.	02:21:21
	And I think one of the points that you know.	02:21:23
	That you know I.	02:21:26
	Want to make special note of is the controversial?	02:21:28
	Theme. We want there's something.	02:21:32
	Again, that everybody can kind of buy into that. It doesn't make it.	02:21:35
	There's not negative reactions and stuff like that. So I mean, that's kind of our goal right now.	02:21:40
	So I guess my question is, are you going to be able to come back to City Council has the city manager as?	02:21:46
	And show us rendering so we give you the thumbs up and thumbs down on what goes on.	02:21:53
	The utility boxes, I think we'll be able to come back and give you renderings. I don't think we're going to be able to give you 8	02:21:58
	at one shot.	02:22:02
	OK.	02:22:06
	About about not doing 8 at one shot or what?	02:22:09
	Oh, oh, sure, Because, you know, the council is also the community and I want everybody to buy in and I'm looking at you're gonna	02:22:15
	be looking at your.	02:22:19
	Talking to your constituents to get, you know some kind of information and, and we.	02:22:24
	We welcome your input. Frankly, as far as getting to this process, this is not something that's pre designed or pre.	02:22:29
	Ordained that we're going to be doing this. In this we have some basic themes.	02:22:36
	You know, we may find as we go into the community that may some particular group has.	02:22:42
	A whole new.	02:22:48
	Theme that we hadn't really thought of.	02:22:50
	And absolutely we want to bring it back to the console because you want this to be a win, win process.	02:22:52
	Thank you.	02:22:58
	Are you going to?	02:23:01
	Are you going to?	02:23:03
	Contact the high school art departments and work. Yes, we're going to be a high school, the college, junior colleges. Yeah.	02:23:05
	Because, you know.	02:23:09
	I think there may be some very aspiring artists in there that.	02:23:13
	You know this may be.	02:23:18
	Their first step and their careers at the museum over there at Channel Islands every year I think the port sponsors it the art	02:23:21
	contest and there's phenomenal work there so I think there's great talent at the high school when we look at you know this City	02:23:28
	Council, there's some phenomenal artists younger kids that you know probably and as you know we we.	02:23:35
	Again, we look to see to get all of these people involved.	02:23:42
	And we and we're looking for your.	02:23:46
	Your recommendations too, like if you if you know of an artist that you think would this would be.	02:23:50
	A good.	02:23:56
	Fit for them.	02:23:57
	Pass them over to us.	02:23:59
	I know, like I know like when I've been involved in doing these things in other communities, there's like a lot of different	02:24:02
	factors.	02:24:05
	And creating the artists, obviously they have the skills.	02:24:08
	Also their ability to like work with the.	02:24:11
	You know, in a successful manner. So there's a lot of different.	02:24:14
	Aspects to it.	02:24:18
	To make it a good fit.	02:24:19
	Great. Thank you.	02:24:22
	Any other questions?	02:24:23
	Madam Clerk, do we have any public comments?	02:24:25
	No public comments.	02:24:29
	Great. Thank you. So we, we have before us the recommendation, umm.	02:24:30
	And I think what we're doing tonight is we're approving this map.	02:24:35
	And then?	02:24:40
	Along with the added recommendation.	02:24:41
	That, umm.	02:24:44
	Reach brings back the renderings and maybe sets A4.	02:24:45
	For us to review with just a thumbs up. A thumbs down, not a.	02:24:51
	Make changes.	02:24:55
	OK. So that is the motion is there, I mean that is the recommendation, is there a motion and 2nd so moved.	02:24:56
	Second, great. Thank you. Any discussion?	02:25:03
	Think we've had it already?	02:25:06
	All right, great. Madam Clerk, please take a vote.	02:25:08
	All in favor, aye?	02:25:10
	All.	02:25:12
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:25:13
	Great. Thank you. We're going to move to our final agenda item, Channel Islands Harbor dredging project update.	02:25:15
	Will staff please?	02:25:22
	Present the report.	02:25:24
	Yes. And we have, it's a very simple report. I know we've talked about it a lot in bits and pieces, but we're trying to.	02:25:25
	Kind of.	02:25:32
	Just give a simple overview of the.	02:25:34
	Dredging project and where we currently stand and and what the next steps are.	02:25:38
	And so just as some background reminder, because we use the word dredge all the time and we know it, but I know sometimes when	02:25:42
	we're talking to.	02:25:47
	People. Umm.	02:25:51
	Who aren't familiar?	02:25:53
	Not as clear what it is so.	02:25:55
	The By the dredge project we are referring to the For us, the critical portion is the replenishment of sand at Winami Beach.	02:25:58
	It's a crucial project for Wyoming Beach Nourishment, Channel Islands Harbor operations for the Port of Winemes operations and the	02:26:07
	Naval Base Ventura Counties operations.	02:26:12
	And so.	02:26:17
	Critical for for all.	02:26:18
	All of the.	02:26:20
	Those agencies within our.	02:26:22
	Community.	02:26:25
	So people may know and may have noticed that the dredge was ongoing through about February 28th.	02:26:27
	And the promenade was closed at Waeneme Beach.	02:26:35
	Through March 7th and reopened on March 7th.	02:26:39
	And so we were successful in getting the dredge here and making sure that the dredge took place this year.	02:26:43
	The challenge we did have is that the volume dredged was lower than expected, lower than.	02:26:51
	Hoped for, we obtained approximately 900,000 to 1,000,000 cubic yards of sand.	02:26:58
	Which was short of the 2.4 million cubic yard goal.	02:27:03
	And on the next slide, I'll come back to this one.	02:27:07
	We have a picture from pre dredge.	02:27:10
	On the left, October 4th and you can see where it's just a very narrow strip of sand.	02:27:13
	And then on March 4th, which was essentially as soon as the dredge was complete.	02:27:18
	We were able to get pictures and.	02:27:24
	It's a noticeable improvement, but it's still not the level that we were hoping for and expecting.	02:27:26
	And.	02:27:34
	I know.	02:27:36
	In the past, the issue has been budget challenges and I know a lot of people, we got a lot of comments this year about, you know,	02:27:36
	what are we doing to get in front of the budget challenges related to the dredge.	02:27:41
	And, umm.	02:27:46
	Both fortunately and unfortunately, and maybe frustratingly so, the issues this year were not the budget, the.	02:27:47
	There was a.	02:27:54
	Short period of time where there was some.	02:27:57
	Budget related issues, but we jumped on those in partnership with the Challenge Harbor and the Port.	02:27:59
	And with Congresswoman Brownlee's office to get those resolved quickly.	02:28:05
	And so that wasn't what caused any.	02:28:09
	Delays this year What actually caused the delay were permitting, permitting challenges.	02:28:12
	Essentially caused by the differences between state standards and federal standards in a disagreement.	02:28:17
	Between the state and the federal agencies of.	02:28:23
	Whether or not.	02:28:26
	Each agency could apply their rules.	02:28:26
	And so it's a pretty major challenge.	02:28:30
	When you talk about the state of California and the federal government arguing about something like that.	02:28:34
	But.	02:28:41
	In partnership with the port the the harbor.	02:28:43
	The city and others.	02:28:46
	We were able to get movement on that challenge. Our understanding was that challenge was actually causing issue and.	02:28:48
	Across several projects, but we were able to sort of escalate it and get it resolved.	02:28:54
	Where the state and federal.	02:28:59
	Groups came together and agreed that the project could proceed.	02:29:01
	But the.	02:29:06
	Shortage was caused because that delay, well, that was occurring.	02:29:08
	Impacted.	02:29:13
	Our time frame.	02:29:14
	And obviously the question.	02:29:15
	Most people would have as well. Couldn't they have just stayed longer? But we are.	02:29:19
	Constrained by.	02:29:23
	The environmental regulations due to the nesting season here at Waeneme Beach.	02:29:25
	So if they start late.	02:29:30
	They just have to. They still have to leave on the same day.	02:29:32
	So that's essentially what happened this year.	02:29:36
	In the meantime, since the project completion, we have continued to advocate.	02:29:41
	We've had conversations with.	02:29:47
	The challenge harbor the Port of Wine.	02:29:49
	Army Corps of Engineers.	02:29:52
	And and others.	02:29:55
	To try to make sure we're continuing to advocate for the.	02:29:56
	For them to essentially return.	02:30:01
	Normally they come back every two years, but the idea this year would be for them to come back.	02:30:04
	Towards the end of 2025, in October or so.	02:30:10
	Our conversations with the Army Corps of Engineering was that that is looking.	02:30:15
	Positive and that they are starting to prepare to with the expectation that they would do that.	02:30:19
	But.	02:30:26
	I think the Corps of Engineers and really most federal agencies right now, will they, they can't guarantee anything.	02:30:27
	I think we got some some of that feedback from them that they.	02:30:35
	They are.	02:30:39
	Planning on it but.	02:30:41
	They can't guarantee it at this point depending on what other things happen with.	02:30:43
	At the federal level.	02:30:48
	And then I know I shared this.	02:30:50
	With this e-mail with the council.	02:30:53
	But uh.	02:30:56
	We had had that conversation with the Army Corps team that we were in communication with.	02:30:58
	And then?	02:31:03
	Friday we were notified that China Islands Harbor and and Mr. Michael Tripp from the harbor also had that conversation with his.	02:31:05
	Connections at the Army Corps of Engineer and was essentially told the same thing that they're all.	02:31:12
	Starting to prepare with the expectation that they come back in October.	02:31:17
	They just can't.	02:31:21
	Say that they guarantee it at this point so.	02:31:22
	So we're all going to keep advocating, we're going to try to keep it on the.	02:31:25
	Radar and make sure that if there's.	02:31:30
	Any chance of it happening that we are trying to make it happen?	02:31:33
	But it's I think it's one of those things that we won't get.	02:31:37
	Guarantee until the week they show up.	02:31:40
	Really, I think that's that's sort of our read of the situation right now.	02:31:43
	So.	02:31:47
	So the.	02:31:48
	Item was intended to provide an update.	02:31:50
	Really the direction that we were recommending was just to continue to.	02:31:53
	Allow staff to advocate in partnership with the other agencies involved.	02:32:01
	I think we all are advocating and want to continue to advocate.	02:32:06
	And we'll all try to make do what we can to make sure that they are able to come back.	02:32:10
	Later this year.	02:32:15
	So. So that is the dredge update.	02:32:16
	Great. Thank you. Any questions?	02:32:19
	Let's go with the Councilmember Hernandez and then we'll go to Councilmember Gama.	02:32:24
	So I sent some questions I think earlier or maybe I just sent one question, but I have some additional questions.	02:32:30
	Did the numbers that are included in this report from past years?	02:32:36
	On the number of cubic 1,000,000 cubic yards that we received, does that include?	02:32:41
	This the additional sand that comes from the port? Or is it just the harbor numbers because those are two separate projects.	02:32:46
	So my understanding is that's the total cubic yards that were provided to our beach. So it's not it didn't we don't have	02:32:54
	statistics on.	02:32:58
	The source? Which ones came from which of the projects? That was the total sand each of those years.	02:33:03
	OK, can we get that information?	02:33:09
	So we know what is coming actually from.	02:33:11
	The dredging of the harbor versus the dredging from the port.	02:33:14
	Yeah, we could reach out to those. I sometimes increase the amount of sand that we're.	02:33:18
	When we include the port numbers.	02:33:24
	Yeah. Thank you.	02:33:31
	So if they can't come back.	02:33:35
	October 20.	02:33:37
	5.	02:33:39
	Then they would be back.	02:33:41
	27.	02:33:44
	So my question is if they can't come back?	02:33:46
	Then we're just going to go back to two year cycle.	02:33:48
	The IT is on a 2 year cycle. The idea is that they would come back at the mid.	02:33:53
	Point this time only.	02:33:59
	Right. So and then would they then come back?	02:34:01
	On the regular two year cycle.	02:34:06
	I think the county was working on a plan.	02:34:08
	I'm sorry.	02:34:11
	Yeah, on the regular cycle.	02:34:12
	I don't remember now if that's 26 or 27, but it would be on the regular cycle.	02:34:14
	So the idea wasn't to replace it.	02:34:18
	It was just to supplement with the additional dredge in October.	02:34:21
	And so if they don't come back in October 25.	02:34:25
	Then our next window would be.	02:34:30
	October 26.	02:34:33
	Or 27.	02:34:36
	I believe it's October 26, but it's the.	02:34:38
	The it's the what I intend to say is it's the two year cycle that we are on.	02:34:40
	So I believe that would be October 2026.	02:34:44
	But now the the.	02:34:47
	Yeah, because it started October 2024.	02:34:51
	Yeah, OK.	02:34:54
	Any other question?	02:34:56
	Madam Clerk, do we have any public comments? Yes.	02:34:58
	1st is Stacy Link.	02:35:01
	Sorry I'm a little short here.	02:35:12
	Good evening, Mayor. Mayor Pro Tem.	02:35:14
	City Council members, city and City Manager Vega, thank you very much for your time. I'm Stacy Lang, chief commercial public	02:35:17
	affairs officer at the port.	02:35:21
	First of all, thank you for the detailed summary, I just wanted to share that.	02:35:26
	Currently this week, the executives from our government team in the port are in DC for a unrelated meeting, but they actually have	02:35:30
	scheduled.	02:35:36
	A meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers specifically in order to help really fully support this. So just wanted to share with	02:35:41
	you that that is going on behind the scenes. We've got a meeting on Thursday scheduled. It's got Kristen Dicus, our port CEO,	02:35:47
	Jason Hodge, one of our harbor Commissioners and the government affairs team that are all really working. And as as you mentioned,	02:35:53
	we've really been in lockstep with you when we found this issue with the language that that set it back. We really want to	02:35:59
	continue to work with you.	02:36:05
	And make sure that we are doing what we can to push this forward.	02:36:11
	Thank you. Thank you.	02:36:16
	Vienna Lopez.	02:36:19
	Good evening Mayor, Mayor, Pro Tem, council and staff. Just wanted to echo the comments from Stacy on behalf of the the board and	02:36:28
	as the county supervisor representing this area.	02:36:33
	I want to appreciate the.	02:36:39
	Are you bringing this up, bringing for public discussion and and just affirming the importance of of what dredging means?	02:36:42
	For our community here in Port Wayne, me and the harbor, the naval base, the Channel Islands harbor, and I just want to extend	02:36:48
	that support that we're all working together.	02:36:55
	And ensuring that we have that funding provided to to the county.	02:37:02
	The dredging item has a specific budget line item request on our legislative platform, which was approved in January at our board	02:37:08
	meeting and it is on our the request. Our budget request is on a 2 year cycle.	02:37:15
	The legislative platform, but it is something that we will continue to advocate for and working in partnership with the city.	02:37:23
	Through our government affairs team as well and our lobbyists in DC who came out here in December. And so I this is definitely one	02:37:29
	of the key issues that that I've raised.	02:37:35
	To ensure that it continues to receive the attention necessary to support the community here, so just want to reiterate that	02:37:40
	support.	02:37:44
	Look forward to working together in partnership with all the stakeholders to ensure that we get that mid cycle dredging project	02:37:48
	completed as well. So thank you.	02:37:53
	Great. Thank you.	02:37:58
	That concludes public comment.	02:38:01
	Great. Thank you. So we have before us.	02:38:03
	It's the recommendation to receive an update on the Channel Islands Harbor dredging project and provide.	02:38:07
	Direction.	02:38:14
	And so I think the direction is we're going to keep moving and keep communicating and collaborating.	02:38:15
	Correct. May I have a motion and a second to receive?	02:38:20
	So moved.	02:38:24
	2nd.	02:38:26
	Is there any discussion?	02:38:27
	I just want to make a comment that I hope that.	02:38:29
	Mr. City Manager that you don't have to spend 80 hours doing advocacy, that you can work close closely through the county and use	02:38:33
	their lobbyists so.	02:38:37
	So you didn't?	02:38:42
	You know, umm.	02:38:44
	Don't over overextend yourself.	02:38:45
	So thank you.	02:38:47
	Great. Any other comments?	02:38:49
	I have a comment.	02:38:52
	So the port thank you for the advocacy at DC right now. That's that is awesome. And.	02:38:53
	Being a thank you from the county, appreciate that.	02:39:00
	I'll just echo that.	02:39:04
	Thank you for your help in this.	02:39:05
	All right, if there's nothing else, Madam Clerk, can we please take a vote?	02:39:09
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	02:39:13
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:39:16
	Great. Thank you.	02:39:19
	And so we're going to move on to City manager comments and reports.	02:39:21
	Thank you.	02:39:25
	Couple of.	02:39:27
	Items. Quick items.	02:39:29
	So the big one is this weekend is the community benefit fund partnership with city and the port.	02:39:33
	See Splash Color Dash 5K. I'm still having a hard time.	02:39:41
	Saying that, but.	02:39:46
	It's the 5K starts at 9:00 AM this Saturday. The 1K for Kids starts at 10:30 AM and the Health and Wellness Fair will go	02:39:48
	throughout the event from 9:30 to 12:30.	02:39:53
	We know we have about 743 people registered.	02:40:01
	So, umm.	02:40:04
	So hopefully everybody comes out to run. If you didn't register, you could still come out and check out the Health and Wellness	02:40:05
	Fair.	02:40:08
	And we hope to see everybody there.	02:40:11
	This Saturday. I know the turn out was great last year and it sounds like it's actually going to be even.	02:40:14
	Better this year, so.	02:40:18
	We hope to see everybody there.	02:40:19
	Mr. City Manager, regarding that, if we registered to run, is it transferable?	02:40:21
	No, have a good reason. I'm also working a booth and giving out berries to the runners.	02:40:26
	I think we can. I don't know the answer off the top of my head, but I'll find out and we'll try to make it happen since it's for a	02:40:31
	good reason.	02:40:34
	We wanted to give an update on Surfside Motel. I think people probably may have seen the newspaper article.	02:40:41
	On this this week so we just wanted to give.	02:40:49
	Our community a little bit of an update.	02:40:51
	Our City team went out on site and.	02:40:56
	Well, in short, we performed an inspection back in January. We saw potential health and safety issues that required us to sort of	02:40:59
	escalate and bring in our full team.	02:41:04
	So we went back out on March 4th and inspected with our full team and we found.	02:41:09
	Pretty severe violations including lack of water, heat and unsafe living conditions.	02:41:14
	So, umm.	02:41:19
	People may have noticed are a large City team was out there on March 4th.	02:41:20
	We essentially immediately went to work, red tagging and yellow tagging the property.	02:41:26
	As a result of the inspection.	02:41:31
	And we are currently working with the property owner to try to get the tenants who were there.	02:41:34
	Relocated and to make sure that they're getting the relocation benefits that they should get.	02:41:40
	And so that's something our team is currently working on right now and trying to make sure everybody gets out of there and into	02:41:45
	safer conditions.	02:41:49
	And.	02:41:54
	That's really to address the serious violations that we saw.	02:41:55
	That day, it's also to make sure that people aren't living in those conditions, but.	02:41:59
	We know the next question people may have is.	02:42:06
	Well, what's next on this property? You know, how can the city move this forward? And we have.	02:42:09
	Our team working aggressively every day. We're going back and forth to try to move this project forward.	02:42:15
	And make sure that it doesn't continue to just stall out and be.	02:42:22
	A nuisance really, for lack of a better word, so.	02:42:28
	We will be working with the property owner aggressively to try to make sure that the project moves forward.	02:42:31
	In the appropriate way.	02:42:37
	So.	02:42:39
	What we have said to people is if people do see any code compliance issues or any criminal activity.	02:42:41
	I think one thing that's happened is people got so used to seeing some of the issues that they stopped.	02:42:47
	Calling the city about them.	02:42:53
	And we will be out there ourselves and proactively. But if any members of the public, do you see issues?	02:42:54
	We're encouraging everybody to let us know because we will continue to work to address those issues and to make sure to document	02:43:00
	and.	02:43:04
	And, umm.	02:43:08
	Respond to those issues as soon as possible.	02:43:09
	So we just want to let people know we know that's been a hot topic for a long time.	02:43:12
	And these were some of the photos from our inspection. You can see some of the conditions that really just people should not be	02:43:16
	living in so.	02:43:20
	We're going to continue to try to.	02:43:23
	To address those.	02:43:26
	On a more positive note, with the Beach Fest permit being approved today.	02:43:29
	We have also gotten our vendor applications.	02:43:34
	Information up and so vendors can apply for.	02:43:38
	Beach Fest now.	02:43:42
	The application deadline is March 27th, which is coming up quicker than people may realize, so we're asking people to.	02:43:43
	We're trying to get the word out so people can apply for vendor applications.	02:43:50
	And then at the same time, we've also just launched the community poster contest is.	02:43:55
	Mr. Montalongo mentioned.	02:44:00
	With the deadline for that of April 24th. So there's still about a little more than a month on that.	02:44:02
	So we want to get the word out to all of our local students at we have prizes for high school, junior high and elementary level.	02:44:07
	So any local student should be able to participate in that poster event.	02:44:15
	And then a couple more.	02:44:21
	Quick Items.	02:44:24
	One is the.	02:44:25
	I think it might be the second time. I don't think it's the first, but we're having.	02:44:28
	A rock painting event. Sunday the 23rd at noon.	02:44:33
	The museum.	02:44:39
	And so I think it's the second time they've done it and.	02:44:40
	The registration fee is $5. It's at 220 Market St. and again Sunday the 23rd at noon we'll be having the.	02:44:44
	Rock painting event.	02:44:52
	And then we also just wanted to let the public know we had heard at one point that there was a line for the fire pits and some	02:44:53
	people were having trouble accessing them.	02:44:58
	We were able to. We had gotten a pretty good deal on the fire pits, less than we had expected. So we had remaining budget.	02:45:04
	For the fire pits, so we're able to get the two additional fire pits.	02:45:11
	For the the approved budget and so those two additional fire pits were placed at Winami Beach last week.	02:45:15
	We didn't do a big announcement because we we seem to have this.	02:45:22
	Bad luck where we always put the fire pits out on the day it's rainy so.	02:45:25
	That happened again.	02:45:31
	So.	02:45:33
	We didn't announce it publicly yet, but we probably will announce it this week, so anybody who's watching and hasn't been able to.	02:45:34
	To use the fire pits, get out there in the next couple days before we announce them. They're they're out there now and ready to	02:45:40
	use.	02:45:44
	And then for April 7th, our.	02:45:49
	Here's what our agenda is looking like at this point. We do have 3 presentations scheduled.	02:45:53
	Fair Housing Month proclamation.	02:45:57
	The Autism Awareness Month proclamation and the State of the Port presentation by Port CEO Kristen Dicus.	02:45:59
	And then?	02:46:07
	There's a few notable consent calendar items, some projects pub.	02:46:08
	Public Works project.	02:46:13
	The interesting one is the turf turnkey grant for City Hall and Miranda Park.	02:46:15
	We'll go.	02:46:21
	Get more into it at the next council meeting, but.	02:46:23
	It's a opportunity that came in handy. Where?	02:46:25
	The city last year adopted new landscaping standards for the city and it's an attempt to have more water conservation focused	02:46:29
	landscaping.	02:46:33
	And it just so happened when we adopted those that there was a grant opportunity from.	02:46:38
	I think it was Callegus Water District, but we'll give more information.	02:46:45
	To actually fund.	02:46:49
	Some cities.	02:46:51
	Trying to do some demonstration projects to show the communities what?	02:46:53
	Like water conservation projects could look like.	02:46:56
	So we have a good opportunity for one of those and we'll bring that forward at the next council meeting.	02:46:59
	And then for business items, we're bringing our mid year budget review.	02:47:05
	At that meeting.	02:47:11
	We also had talked about scheduling an annual review of the Council policy and procedures manual, so that will be.	02:47:12
	The second annual review will will be scheduled that meeting.	02:47:19
	And then we're bringing the Veterans Advisory Commission options.	02:47:23
	And the send.	02:47:27
	Centenarian Which?	02:47:29
	I is a fancy word I had to learn for 100th birthday proclamation policy.	02:47:31
	And so we'll bring those items back to council.	02:47:38
	On April 7th.	02:47:41
	And that's all I have.	02:47:43
	I will move on to council member reports. We'll start with.	02:47:49
	Councilmember Perez, thank you. The one committee I was able to attend, which is the Federal Outreach Advisory Council.	02:47:54
	Was literally a 20 minute discussion on the update on the Houses debate over the continuing resolution and its implications.	02:48:01
	For defense funding and operations and it lasted 20 minutes and then it was over.	02:48:08
	Hopefully more to discuss the next time round.	02:48:14
	Great. Thank you, Councilmember.	02:48:18
	I think last meeting I reported that our Beacon meeting, then we're having another Beacon meeting this Friday, right VNA?	02:48:20
	I think we fell behind.	02:48:27
	But there's nothing new report there.	02:48:30
	Excuse me, do you have fee increase coming up on your next agenda?	02:48:33
	Yes.	02:48:38
	But but it's.	02:48:41
	It's not going to be.	02:48:43
	It's going to be minimal.	02:48:46
	There was a plan to move.	02:48:48
	Forward a little more aggressively, but.	02:48:51
	That plan has been abandoned. The the unique thing about Beacon is is.	02:48:53
	You can't have a fee increase unless you have unanimous consent among all the members.	02:48:57
	So.	02:49:04
	I think the message was received loud and clear that.	02:49:05
	Budgets are kind of.	02:49:09
	A little tricky right now and so.	02:49:11
	There's I think it's just going to be a cola increase if.	02:49:15
	If I'm correct right?	02:49:19
	Yes.	02:49:20
	And we're going to be discussing the Sand Summit.	02:49:23
	Trying to determine that.	02:49:26
	Which is great. So we're talking about dredging sand Summit and all the funiculars that are involved in.	02:49:27
	I really appreciate.	02:49:34
	The effort that everybody's putting in on the stretch situation.	02:49:37
	A couple of meetings ago.	02:49:42
	We reviewed our port agreements, Mr. City Manager and A.	02:49:44
	I think we had a few questions that we couldn't answer ourselves and we sent them over to our friends at the port of Winning Me.	02:49:49
	Have have we gotten a response on those yet?	02:49:53
	I haven't yet we.	02:49:58
	We had talked about it a couple days after so I'll send a reminder.	02:50:01
	OK. I'll just following up on that. I was checking my notes.	02:50:04
	And.	02:50:08
	Good things are happening at.	02:50:11
	Ventura County Animal Services.	02:50:14
	Our new director is he's an amazing guy.	02:50:16
	He came up with this idea to help move.	02:50:21
	Are overcrowded animals out of state to areas where they're in need of animals?	02:50:25
	And then I noticed that.	02:50:30
	Other.	02:50:32
	Jurisdictions are doing it now.	02:50:33
	And so.	02:50:35
	It's great.	02:50:38
	Went over to.	02:50:40
	Just take a walk.	02:50:41
	Check out all the dogs over there and.	02:50:42
	The place is beautiful, We have a great.	02:50:44
	Expansion plan coming together.	02:50:48
	Originally, everybody included myself, we need to have a Taj Mahal of an Animal Services and let's put it near the freeway. So	02:50:51
	everyone.	02:50:55
	After a lot of long thoughts like you know what, we have enough room here at the airport and let's just.	02:51:00
	Make our existing area better, bigger.	02:51:05
	More modern SO.	02:51:09
	That's all beginning to happen.	02:51:11
	And.	02:51:13
	That's it.	02:51:16
	OK. Thank you, Mayor.	02:51:18
	Over the last two weeks, I attended 2 legislative discussions, 1 through the.	02:51:21
	Local.	02:51:28
	Local communications membership committee.	02:51:29
	Through SCAG and then today I attended one through Cal Cities and I also attended the Cal Cities.	02:51:32
	Get together of channel counties on Friday.	02:51:40
	Friday night up in Goleta and heard from.	02:51:43
	Assemblyman.	02:51:47
	Greg Hart and.	02:51:48
	And also heard from.	02:51:50
	Senator Congressman Salud Carbajal.	02:51:52
	And there's a lot going on in the area of legislation and legislative bills that are.	02:51:56
	Being are going through the House right now, the House and the Senate.	02:52:02
	I just wanted to call out a few just so staff can.	02:52:06
	Be alerted that these are bills to watch for and I will have the handout which I'll pass on to the city manager for specific	02:52:10
	numbers. So there's one piece of legislation that's going to address parking requirements for Adus.	02:52:17
	To make sure that there's plenty of parking when we approve ad use for.	02:52:24
	For the residents of those Adus.	02:52:30
	City attorney billing transparency and city attorney billing is also, there's some legislation coming down the Pike on that.	02:52:32
	K9 unit compliance.	02:52:39
	New compliance requirements under POST.	02:52:41
	Major changes with the Brown Act are being proposed.	02:52:44
	We have new administrative policies regarding the homelessness programs. I think they're switching.	02:52:49
	Offices.	02:52:54
	And then of course, water is always an issue.	02:52:55
	I also attended the VCOG meeting and we talked about broadband planning and the last mile connection.	02:52:59
	Thank you for the information for from Aaron. Please extend my thanks, it was quite useful.	02:53:05
	There is a grant that's available through broadband that they cannot, that they won't be applying for us.	02:53:12
	Of the applicant us this as the city would have to apply for it.	02:53:18
	So I'll send you that information.	02:53:22
	As well.	02:53:24
	And then VCOG is assessing their assessment fee.	02:53:26
	It's going to be.	02:53:30
	Approximately by $550. Not not a whole lot.	02:53:31
	So that's good.	02:53:36
	I'm also working with REACH on a grant and.	02:53:38
	Enough for another mural.	02:53:42
	And we're hoping that we can get off the ground a mural that honors the life of Orving Carpenter.	02:53:44
	So you'll hear more about that. It's in the very, very early stages.	02:53:51
	And then I wanted to bring to the Council's attention that in June.	02:53:55
	The Army Corps of Engineers are going to be celebrating their 250th.	02:54:01
	Anniversary.	02:54:06
	So we might want to consider a proclamation for them in June.	02:54:08
	And that's all I have.	02:54:13
	I didn't attend any committee meetings, but I did.	02:54:17
	I did go to coffee with Steve Bennett here in Winnie Me.	02:54:20
	Locally.	02:54:24
	We had a small turn out.	02:54:25
	But a lot of good information was passed.	02:54:27
	And my hope is that as these.	02:54:30
	You know our assemblyman, Come, come and visit.	02:54:34
	You know, we're a little more active.	02:54:37
	I did meet with former Mayor Bobby Martinez, Councilman.	02:54:39
	With Sister City he had a his.	02:54:43
	Entourage from Puerto Vallarta.	02:54:47
	And we got to tour the robotics.	02:54:51
	First the first robotics that the the port. That was awesome.	02:54:55
	At that event, for people who don't know, we actually have a Winnie Me team.	02:55:00
	At the Winimi High School.	02:55:05
	Thunder Bikes.	02:55:07
	And they're poorly funded.	02:55:10
	So we're going to have to work on that.	02:55:12
	I've been talking with Jonathan Soto and.	02:55:15
	He's he's a school teacher. He's one of the members there and.	02:55:20
	Going to work on some grants for him.	02:55:24
	And.	02:55:29
	That was it.	02:55:33
	Thank you.	02:55:36
	A couple of things. So I am back to.	02:55:37
	All my meetings here.	02:55:41
	All my meetings.	02:55:44
	I am uh.	02:55:46
	I attended the the 83rd CB ball which was wonderful, had a great time.	02:55:48
	I participated this week.	02:55:54
	With the Navy League luncheon, they had a luncheon in celebration also of the 83rd CB birthday.	02:55:57
	I am.	02:56:04
	I completed I think.	02:56:06
	My FPPC 700 forms with the extended version, so that was kind of tricky, so I think I'm done with that.	02:56:08
	I'll be attending one of two budget meetings with VCTC.	02:56:16
	On Monday.	02:56:22
	I'll be literally leaving that office headed to the airport for the trip to DC with RDP.	02:56:24
	And I'll be returning on the 27th.	02:56:31
	I am unable to attend this weekend's event.	02:56:34
	And so just want to let you all know that.	02:56:39
	And.	02:56:41
	I think that that is, that is it.	02:56:44
	All right. So anyone else, did you have anything? Yes, tomorrow morning.	02:56:47
	I'm up at 5:00 to head to the airport to go to Sacramento for two days with the League of California Cities. No, I'm going with	02:56:53
	Skag.	02:56:56
	Confused. I'm going with Skag.	02:57:00
	And I'll be there through late Wednesday.	02:57:02
	Doing some lobbying.	02:57:05
	With the group.	02:57:06
	One more thing I forgot as well. I just want to thank the city of Oxnard Surf Rider.	02:57:08
	Merido Foundation coastal keepers.	02:57:13
	They're really putting in a lot of effort in at Perkins Rd.	02:57:16
	When any beach cleanup is out there every Saturday and so we're now shouting to each other across the lagoon and.	02:57:20
	It's a it's been.	02:57:27
	It is one of the cleanest winter.	02:57:29
	Beach trash situations that we had in a long time in a.	02:57:32
	Everybody's like.	02:57:36
	Kicking in the high gear and really appreciate all that volunteerism that's.	02:57:37
	Prevalent in our community.	02:57:41
	Thank you.	02:57:45
	Let's move on to requests for future agenda items. Councilmember Perez.	02:57:47
	And do we want to approve a proclamation for?	02:57:53

	You're good at reminding.	00:00:35
	Yes, he is.	00:00:37
	Good evening.	00:01:02
	And welcome to the City Council regular meeting. I'm calling this meeting to order. The time is now 630.	00:01:03
	Please stand for the flag salute and if our mayor Pro Tem can lead us.	00:01:12
	Ready. Begin.	00:01:18
	I pledge allegiance to the flag.	00:01:20
	Of the United States of America.	00:01:22
	And to the Republic for which it stands.	00:01:24
	One nation under God.	00:01:27
	Indivisible.	00:01:30
	Yeah.	00:01:32
	Madam Clerk, please take role.	00:01:37
	Council member Gama.	00:01:40
	Councilmember Hernandez.	00:01:42
	Here, Councilmember Perez. Here Mayor Pro Tem Lopez present and Mayor McQueen Lejean.	00:01:45
	Here we are going to move to our inspiration that's going to be given by our Councilmember Gama this evening.	00:01:50
	Have a little PowerPoint.	00:02:05
	Let me see if.	00:02:08
	Gaelic Ben Athena Fela.	00:02:09
	Padre Courts.	00:02:12
	That means Happy Saints Patties Day, or Saint Patrick's Day, I should say.	00:02:13
	So who is Saint Patrick?	00:02:19
	He was a guy.	00:02:21
	Actually, a Bishop that.	00:02:22
	Brought Christianity to Ireland.	00:02:24
	And how did he do that?	00:02:26
	He did it with a Shamrock.	00:02:28
	Why the Shamrock? Well, it had three leaves.	00:02:30
	And it was very simple.	00:02:32
	Yet effective way.	00:02:34
	To express the Holy Trinity.	00:02:36
	The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.	00:02:38
	And he turned a nation.	00:02:41
	Ireland, which was a Pagan nation into.	00:02:43
	Highly religious Christian.	00:02:46
	Country.	00:02:48
	And everybody goes green.	00:02:50
	I got this ridiculous green jacket on which?	00:02:52
	Is suitable for today, but maybe not any other day but.	00:02:55
	Rivers turn green.	00:02:59
	Buildings turn green. Ventura had a parade this weekend. Everybody's Irish for the day, and guess what I had for lunch today?	00:03:00
	But many of you did as well.	00:03:09
	Even Moscow gets into it. Nowadays, Moscow hosts a.	00:03:13
	Parade. Saint Patrick's Parade.	00:03:17
	The first parade was in 1992 and.	00:03:18
	Ever since 1999 there's been a yearly Saint Patrick's Day festival in Moscow, which is interesting.	00:03:22
	Couple great Irish leaders of our time, John F Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Orveen Carpenter. He was mainly Scottish. He had a little	00:03:29
	bit of Irish, but at his funeral the other day his great great nephew who was pictured here, Nicholas.	00:03:36
	Had a Shamrock tie on I thought oh how appropriate so.	00:03:43
	He joins us today in our inspiration.	00:03:47
	So a friend of mine, Irish immigrant Mikey de la Hunte.	00:03:51
	He immigrated from Ireland to the United States. He came to Boston.	00:03:55
	And then he.	00:04:00
	Eventually settled here in Port Hueneme.	00:04:02
	And he?	00:04:05
	He worked at the.	00:04:06
	The top deck. This is not the top deck.	00:04:09
	He worked at the top deck for a very long time, saving all his tips, and eventually he opened a bar.	00:04:11
	And it's kind of interesting for Irish immigrant to open a bar called The Local. And so you open the bar in Camarillo.	00:04:17
	This is a little video he put together. I asked him, hey, could you come to our council meeting and be a part of this information?	00:04:27
	He says.	00:04:31
	No, because I'm very busy on Saint Patrick's Day in an Irish pub.	00:04:35
	That makes sense, but we did cut this video and I want to share it with you right now.	00:04:40
	Do we have a?	00:04:48
	Volume.	00:04:49
	Can we start over?	00:04:59
	There we go.	00:05:09
	Yeah.	00:05:10
	I see Curtis coming in. I think he'll see if he can get the volume.	00:05:25
	It's really a nice little video.	00:05:34
	Hope we get to see.	00:05:36
	Or hear it.	00:05:38
	You know, if you'd wear this jacket more to karaoke, you'd sound better.	00:05:42
	This is this Jackets only for tonight.	00:05:46
	Oh boy.	00:06:03
	So the locals in Camarillo?	00:06:21
	And he also owns the Beachcomber.	00:06:24
	His goal of having a pub is for everyone to come and be treated as friends and family.	00:06:34
	He's been in business for seven years out in Camarillo.	00:06:40
	Has a large collection of whiskey.	00:06:43
	Some of which go for 90 plus dollars a shot if you could believe that.	00:06:46
	He's has really good staff and they've been able to.	00:06:53
	Carve out a little niche market.	00:06:57
	And recently he.	00:07:00
	Bought the Beachcomber.	00:07:04
	OK.	00:07:26
	We'll just let it play through and I'll kind of.	00:07:28
	Read the subtitle here in Camarillo Springs.	00:07:31
	Been there seven years.	00:07:34
	First opened it. It was just beer and wine.	00:07:36
	After.	00:07:39
	Couple years, year and a half.	00:07:40
	He was successful getting a liquor license.	00:07:43
	He's a whiskey lover, he's Irish, so as soon as he got the license he started building a selection of whiskeys.	00:07:45
	It's got whiskies from all over the world.	00:07:51
	Including Kentucky.	00:07:53
	Ireland. Japan, Taiwan.	00:07:55
	We have a strong focus on handmade craft cocktails as well.	00:07:58
	Very extensive menu during classic cocktails.	00:08:02
	House creations, Everybody that comes here hopefully feels like they're wanted and needed, and they become a part of our family	00:08:06
	too. And if you're around, pop on by.	00:08:10
	How are the celebrations at Saint Patrick's Day in America versus Ireland?	00:08:15
	A little different here in America compared to Ireland. Don't get me wrong, we party just like the Americans do.	00:08:19
	But we also focus on the importance of Saint Patrick himself as a person.	00:08:24
	As a St. and what he did for Ireland.	00:08:27
	What he did for Christianity.	00:08:29
	The Ireland at the time was this Pagan nation. He used the Shamrock to spread Christianity.	00:08:31
	Using the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.	00:08:38
	And from obviously there.	00:08:40
	Irish immigrants, we spread all over the world and we brought Christianity with us.	00:08:42
	What do you credit your success in America? Irish immigrant? I think being an Irish immigrant helped me.	00:08:46
	In the sense that I brought part of my Irish culture to Camarillo Springs.	00:08:51
	Sharing culture and creating a place like family.	00:08:57
	Would you own a business in the city of Port Hueneme?	00:09:00
	Port 1 Amy for sure. When I first got to America, I landed in Boston.	00:09:02
	After a few years, I left Boston and came to Port Hueneme.	00:09:07
	Where I worked.	00:09:11
	Where I met my wife and a lot of my best friends are from port winding me. I have a very strong connection to port winding I think	00:09:13
	if the opportunity ever arose.	00:09:17
	To build an authentic little Irish pub? Yeah, definitely, I'd be up for it.	00:09:22
	I believe Port Hueneme has a strong community as it is.	00:09:25
	And it would make sense to open a small, authentic little Irish pub.	00:09:28
	To give back to the community that made me feel so at home. Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all you the local sometimes lunch a.	00:09:32
	Thank you.	00:09:40
	Thank you. Thank you.	00:09:44
	Will now move to public comments that are not on the agenda. Comments are limited to three minutes on the process. Will be the	00:09:46
	same when we hear the comments pertaining to the agenda. Madam Clerk.	00:09:51
	Do we have any public comments tonight?	00:09:57
	Yes.	00:10:00
	We'll first start with Becky Burning and then followed by Mark Martin Erickson.	00:10:01
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, council staff.	00:10:12
	An audience I'm here representing Rocapie Outdoors.	00:10:16
	This Sunday is our fish day out at the end of Winning Me Pier from 8:00 to 11:00.	00:10:20
	So bring your kids out and learn how to fish.	00:10:26
	I'm going to switch.	00:10:30
	And I'm representing the wine Amy sister cities.	00:10:33
	We're having our first fundraiser dinner.	00:10:36
	On Tuesday the 25th act or being Carpenter Community Center.	00:10:39
	Tickets are $25 each and you can get those online.	00:10:44
	At our website. Thank you.	00:10:48
	Martin Erickson.	00:10:53
	Hold on just one second. You have a question.	00:10:54
	Becky, real question.	00:10:58
	What are the proceeds from the fundraiser go to?	00:11:01
	Oh, awesome. OK. Thank you. Thank you. Just for the record, that was to go to one of the local students.	00:11:07
	Thank you.	00:11:13
	Good evening.	00:11:18
	Mayor McQueen Lejeune, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez, members of the City Council.	00:11:19
	My name is Martin Erickson and I'm the Executive Director of the Ventura County Transportation Commission.	00:11:24
	VCTC umm.	00:11:30
	Happy Saint Patrick's Day again.	00:11:31
	To all of you.	00:11:33
	Especially those resplendent in in green.	00:11:35
	I it isn't.	00:11:39
	Honor to be back at the.	00:11:40
	City of Port Hueneme.	00:11:42
	The Transportation Commission.	00:11:44
	Is a.	00:11:46
	Special district created by the state.	00:11:48
	That basically serves as the funding conduit for nearly all of the state and federal transportation and transit funding that comes	00:11:50
	into Ventura County.	00:11:55
	And I serve A-17 member board, which includes the five county supervisors.	00:12:00
	And a mayor or council member from each of the 10 cities in Ventura County.	00:12:06
	And the city of Port Hueneme is very ably represented by your mayor.	00:12:11
	Mayor McQueen le Jean.	00:12:16
	Who is also serving as our vice chair this year for VCTC. So I'm very.	00:12:18
	Grateful to her for.	00:12:23
	The time she spends.	00:12:25
	With her fellow commissioners.	00:12:27
	Sometimes grappling over the.	00:12:29
	What can be difficult decisions and how to allocate?	00:12:32
	The money that flows through our agency.	00:12:34
	But I'm proud to be here tonight to share with you our.	00:12:37
	Annual community impact report.	00:12:40
	Which I just shared with my Commission our last meeting. I've left copies with the clerk for all of you. Also some.	00:12:43
	Copies in the front for the public.	00:12:51
	But basically this is a.	00:12:53
	Kind of a snapshot of the many things VCTC does.	00:12:55
	Beyond just the Big Blue buses that provide regional service, the Metrolink system, the Amtrak train, we also provide the freeway	00:12:59
	service patrol.	00:13:03
	Hopefully you.	00:13:08
	You haven't had to experience that service, but that is a free.	00:13:09
	Service of roving tow trucks.	00:13:12
	On the 101 and the 118. And they will.	00:13:14
	For free, fix a flat tire. If you have a flat, they will tow you to a safe location if you have a breakdown. They'll even provide	00:13:18
	you with a free gallon of gas if you run out of gas.	00:13:23
	So that has been one of our.	00:13:28
	Our most recent and most successful programs.	00:13:30
	Another program that we are extremely proud of is our Access for All.	00:13:34
	That is a countrywide wheelchair accessible service.	00:13:38
	For any member of the county that we.	00:13:43
	Put together with the state grant we received just a few years ago, that's also been very well received and.	00:13:45
	Filling some of the gaps in our transit system especially.	00:13:50
	For those folks who have paratransit needs.	00:13:55
	And and and need wheelchair service.	00:13:57
	But it's obviously been a tricky year with funding.	00:14:00
	I'm happy to report our finances are in very strong shape going forward and I hope they continue that way.	00:14:04
	But again, I just wanted to share this report with you.	00:14:10
	And again, thank the mayor for serving.	00:14:12
	The city on our Commission.	00:14:15
	Thank you very much.	00:14:17
	Thank you.	00:14:21
	Apologies if I mispronounced this, but Dawood Mustafa.	00:14:22
	Dawood, Mustafa Ali.	00:14:26
	I hope that was right. Hopefully we do mispronounce it.	00:14:29
	Good evening, Madam Mayor. Madam Mayor Pro Temp.	00:14:34
	And the rest of the city can also.	00:14:37
	Into the audience.	00:14:39
	I would like to commend.	00:14:41
	Madam Mayor and your council members for the swift action.	00:14:43
	That.	00:14:49
	Came about.	00:14:50
	When I shared my concern about parking, some of the people who parked their cars on the corners so that when you are approaching	00:14:51
	the corner to make a turn, a right turn specifically.	00:14:57
	You can't see pedestrians approaching the crosswalk.	00:15:03
	And after I shared that concern with you.	00:15:07
	I saw.	00:15:11
	Citations being issued.	00:15:12
	The car, most of them are jeeps and and trucks that are very high.	00:15:14
	And so when you approach the corner, you cannot see.	00:15:19
	Of pedestrians coming.	00:15:23
	Across across the street and you can hardly see cars that are.	00:15:25
	Coming eastbound, coming from the West, going eastbound Pleasant Valley, I'm talking about that specifically. And so you know I, I	00:15:30
	was so.	00:15:34
	Odd when I saw.	00:15:39
	The citation on a specific vehicle. That was all.	00:15:41
	Always in a way.	00:15:45
	So I commend you all for their swift action.	00:15:46
	And The funny thing?	00:15:49
	Two Sundays ago when I was going home.	00:15:51
	I live on C St. and I was turning the corner and I saw parking enforcement right there on a Sunday.	00:15:54
	Issuing citations and I rolled my window down and I said good. And she gave me the thumbs up. So I commend you all for the swift	00:16:01
	action that you've taken and I appreciate it. You probably saved somebody's life.	00:16:07
	Are some some tragic incidents from happening with pedestrian? So I commend you for the swift action.	00:16:14
	I will stay for the meeting rest of the meeting but I have a.	00:16:21
	Meeting attend to myself.	00:16:24
	So thank you very much.	00:16:25
	Thank you. Thank you. And while we're thanking people, I just want to thank the staff as well and the Police Department and all	00:16:27
	those who participated in helping us do that swiftly. So thank you so much.	00:16:32
	Greg Ross.	00:16:39
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council.	00:16:50
	Rocking the green, I love it.	00:16:55
	I'm Scott, I'm Scottish, but it's OK, My wife is Irish.	00:16:58
	I'm going to start with this.	00:17:02
	Hopefully.	00:17:04
	I can find it on my phone.	00:17:05
	It's an audio recording.	00:17:07
	Of the port at 11:55.	00:17:10
	PM and it was March the 6th.	00:17:14
	11:55.	00:17:24
	That's what we hear.	00:17:26
	In our neighborhood.	00:17:27
	And I've got others, but that's that's one just as an example.	00:17:28
	So you all have.	00:17:33
	I hope a copy of this.	00:17:34
	It's an article. I did not search this.	00:17:37
	On a Google search or anything?	00:17:40
	It came to me.	00:17:43
	BBC is saying.	00:17:45
	That.	00:17:47
	Noise pollution.	00:17:49
	Causes heart attacks.	00:17:51
	Type 2 diabetes.	00:17:52
	And has links to dementia.	00:17:54
	And that's what we get when we live in a high density.	00:17:57
	Right next to the port.	00:18:01
	It's not right.	00:18:02
	And the port is just not.	00:18:04
	A good neighbor.	00:18:07
	I've been to their Harbor District Commission.	00:18:08
	Meetings and asked and.	00:18:13
	And Commissioner Rooney wrote it down.	00:18:16
	But nothing's happened. That was two months ago.	00:18:19
	Here's what I'm asking for.	00:18:22
	A sign put out front for the truckers.	00:18:26
	The truckers are not our friend either. They're they're.	00:18:29
	They're not, they don't belong to the port, but they're they're hired by the port.	00:18:32
	OK so I'm just asking for something like this and.	00:18:37
	So far, the Harbor District Commission.	00:18:40
	Are being very.	00:18:43
	They're they're, they're standing in the way of being a good neighbor.	00:18:45
	So here's where. Here's where it's really.	00:18:49
	Gets to me a lot.	00:18:53
	Every single member.	00:18:55
	On that.	00:18:57
	Harbor District commissioners are all in Oxnard.	00:18:58
	None are in Porto, Winnemi.	00:19:01
	That's not democracy.	00:19:04
	We should have at least based on.	00:19:07
	On.	00:19:09
	The population of Oxnard versus Port Hueneme, we should have at least one member on that Commission and we don't.	00:19:12
	It's not right. It's not democratic.	00:19:20
	And.	00:19:22
	They don't listen when I talk to you all. I love it because you look at me.	00:19:24
	When I talk to them, they're looking at their phone, they're looking down.	00:19:29
	It's not right, and then they want to argue.	00:19:32
	Whether they live in Oxnard or they live in Silverstrand.	00:19:34
	OK, well.	00:19:38
	I said my piece, thanks for listening.	00:19:39
	Thank you, Cesar Estrada.	00:19:42
	Hello. Good evening everyone.	00:19:56
	Especially the OR.	00:20:00
	To the mirror protect.	00:20:03
	And to the city manager and to the.	00:20:06
	Mr. Estrada, can you pull the microphone closer to you?	00:20:08
	Yeah, my topic.	00:20:16
	Or agenda for tonight is very short.	00:20:19
	It's about.	00:20:21
	Project of our old timer.	00:20:23
	Of something like.	00:20:26
	Employment Generation.	00:20:29
	This start problem.	00:20:31
	A little gardening.	00:20:33
	Like from our houses.	00:20:35
	Is being sponsored by UC ANR.	00:20:39
	California.	00:20:43
	They have this club.	00:20:45
	And gardening.	00:20:48
	Currently.	00:20:49
	But beyond that?	00:20:51
	If we succeed on this grant that we're.	00:20:52
	Proposing for.	00:20:55
	UCA and R.	00:20:57
	They have the very small grants.	00:20:58
	For starting up some.	00:21:02
	Home gardening and porridge club.	00:21:05
	We know everybody, everyone here.	00:21:07
	Those portwise Dr. also is a.	00:21:10
	A garden paradise or Barbie?	00:21:14
	Most of the lands here still.	00:21:17
	Stood for farm for either.	00:21:20
	Strawberry, but all kinds of vegetables, baby.	00:21:23
	Or put production.	00:21:27
	So.	00:21:29
	Coming from the.	00:21:31
	Also from the Navy.	00:21:33
	Short time.	00:21:35
	And in the transportation but.	00:21:37
	Transportation years.	00:21:41
	I do, I do free howling for bananas.	00:21:43
	In all kinds of big strawberries or.	00:21:48
	Whatever you name it.	00:21:52
	Is all produced here this basic?	00:21:54
	Now to make it short.	00:21:56
	There's like.	00:22:00
	I'm seeing like four or five or six or seven or eight or 9 or 10.	00:22:02
	Grants that could be available for public.	00:22:07
	Employment generation if we only start.	00:22:11
	On this.	00:22:15
	Small grants from UC A&R.	00:22:17
	About like the highest is that 25 Tau.	00:22:21
	It could multiply.	00:22:27
	Later on from the world.	00:22:30
	For the public in a big.	00:22:33
	All this I want to.	00:22:37
	To spread it all to you, to your emails, you can read all about the grants.	00:22:41
	That are available through.	00:22:45
	Not just the California conservation, but.	00:22:47
	From USDA.	00:22:51
	These are valid for.	00:22:55
	In the millions or.	00:22:57
	Could be B.	00:22:59
	Wrong. Thank you so much.	00:23:01
	Thank you.	00:23:04
	Dulce Satterfield.	00:23:06
	Good evening, council members.	00:23:24
	I'm going to start with the conclusion I decided.	00:23:26
	Council members the 50th anniversary of Surfside 3 Owners Association is looming.	00:23:29
	It's just less than eight months away.	00:23:34
	We won't aim for speech making or photo OPS, but one or more of you.	00:23:37
	May be invited to a modest shindig.	00:23:41
	OK, so 50 years, that's a lot, but looking back just November.	00:23:44
	I aired 5 questions.	00:23:50
	And none of them were answered.	00:23:52
	They were numbered one through 5. And then the broader questions also unanswered, but two of those questions I'm probing now, so.	00:23:55
	If I come up with facts, I will share them with you with.	00:24:01
	Whatever I find if you're interested.	00:24:04
	Anyway, none of the questions I asked.	00:24:08
	In November, we're about sandbags. But.	00:24:10
	This winter there was quite a spiel in this room about the readiness.	00:24:12
	Promoting sandbags, sandbags, sandbags.	00:24:16
	And The thing is.	00:24:19
	I earnestly explored in 2024 about hands on sandbag use in a shared carport.	00:24:20
	And then the board of the Owners Association opposed sandbags concern is the shifting of risk towards other folks in proximity.	00:24:28
	That's the rationale.	00:24:32
	So what's next?	00:24:37
	I found no written info on the city's website about any proactive infrastructure.	00:24:41
	Next steps.	00:24:45
	A public works list of three goals is posted, but those goals span just a few years.	00:24:47
	A few years out of a 10 year visioning plan.	00:24:52
	How about a new goal?	00:24:57
	To enhance infrastructure.	00:24:58
	It's time we think beyond sandbags.	00:25:00
	And stop pretending one thing fits all concerned.	00:25:03
	Condo homeowners are not second class constituents the last time I checked.	00:25:07
	Looking forward, it may take political will.	00:25:11
	To explore adding a catchment basin.	00:25:14
	Along Surfside Drive is a strategic enhancement.	00:25:17
	This idea was described 12 months ago.	00:25:19
	By someone technically respected and I was only CC D.	00:25:22
	So I know we have a broader spectrum of distinct areas in Port Hueneme.	00:25:26
	But if you assume the word sandbag appeases folks in high density zones, think again.	00:25:30
	Put yourself in the wet shoes of someone young or old rushing outside past midnight as recently as last week.	00:25:35
	With atmospheric waves of rain, yeah, we moved our cars.	00:25:42
	From the carport to slightly higher ground. Again a desperate and sleep depriving coping mechanism.	00:25:45
	So sandbags are not a silver bullet to rely on. We at Surfside Three are constituents. We So don't bury intelligent your	00:25:50
	intelligent heads in sand.	00:25:55
	And pretend that it's.	00:25:59
	Sandbag is a go to.	00:26:01
	Solution for all.	00:26:03
	I've supported candidates forays at Surfside 3 to Canvas in years past.	00:26:05
	So come and get to know our terrain and our stark exposure to backups of runoff from Surfside Dr. triggering sudden and	00:26:09
	destructive ponding.	00:26:13
	OK, I made it.	00:26:18
	Less than 3 minutes.	00:26:20
	So 50th anniversary in February 20252026.	00:26:22
	And then we just have one last public comment written.	00:26:28
	I'll read that to you now. It's from Jessica Camarillo.	00:26:32
	Dear Members of the City of Port Hueneme's Council, My name is Jessica Camarillo and I am a junior at Oxnard High School.	00:26:36
	I am honored to serve on this year's planning committee for the Arthritis Foundation's Walk to Cure Arthritis.	00:26:42
	Which will take place on May 31st at the collection.	00:26:48
	I'm writing to request your support and approving a proclamation to recognize me as Arthritis Awareness Month in the City of Port	00:26:51
	Hueneme.	00:26:55
	Arthritis effects millions of people, including children like myself.	00:26:59
	I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis when I was just four years old and still receive infusions every four weeks.	00:27:03
	Despite these challenges, I have remained dedicated to my academics.	00:27:10
	Maintaining and above 4.0 GPA and proudly playing on the Oxnard High School girls varsity volleyball team.	00:27:14
	I rarely share my condition with my peers because I don't want special treatment.	00:27:21
	I simply want to be seen for who I am.	00:27:25
	However, raising awareness is incredibly important to me, and I believe this proclamation would help shed light on the reality of	00:27:27
	arthritis and the need for continued research and support.	00:27:32
	I would also like to request if you would play the attached 2 minute video Faces of arthritis during the council meeting.	00:27:38
	It is a powerful video that highlights the impact of arthritis for all ages.	00:27:44
	If this is possible, please let me know what steps I should take to make this happen.	00:27:48
	I also want to personally invite each of you to join us at the Walk to Cure Arthritis May 31st, 2025.	00:27:52
	Your support would mean so much to our community working toward a cure.	00:27:59
	Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your response and hope to see you in May.	00:28:03
	Sincerely, Jessica.	00:28:07
	Mayor and council.	00:28:11
	So we did adopt A schedule of presentation items for this year at the meeting in May, there is room for one more item, so.	00:28:13
	Although we can't do it now as part of public comment.	00:28:21
	If there's an interest in from the council and adding that item, it can be added under future agenda items.	00:28:24
	And that concludes public comment.	00:28:33
	Thank you.	00:28:35
	And thanks to everyone who provided public comments tonight.	00:28:36
	We'll move to our agenda approval.	00:28:40
	May I have a motion and a second to approve the agenda?	00:28:43
	Move to approve.	00:28:48
	OK.	00:28:54
	Yeah.	00:28:57
	No, this is.	00:29:00
	This is the.	00:29:02
	To approve the agenda.	00:29:03
	And then we're going to go back.	00:29:05
	And talk about the consent. Do you have a change on the consent? Well, I wanted to ask if we could move one of the items up.	00:29:07
	OK. Yeah, I was hoping that we could move.	00:29:13
	We have the dredging project update.	00:29:18
	At the very end.	00:29:21
	And I believe there was going to be staff here.	00:29:22
	From the county I don't see them though.	00:29:25
	Who are going to speak on that item? And I just didn't want to hold them up.	00:29:29
	Because there's a lot on the agenda. Well, they're not here and so.	00:29:33
	We don't know if they're going to be here in time for us to get there. So we'll go ahead and move it with the approval and OK. OK,	00:29:37
	thank you. Can I get a, I think I got a motion, Councilmember Perez there a second.	00:29:42
	Second, great. Thank you, Madam Clerk and get a roll call. All in favor. Aye, aye. All opposed.	00:29:47
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:29:53
	Thank you. We'll move to conflict of interests. So does any member of the Council have any conflict of interest to disclose	00:29:55
	regarding any of the agenda items?	00:30:00
	Nope. Thank you.	00:30:05
	And we'll move on to our presentations. We're going to have Chief.	00:30:07
	Frederico, come up.	00:30:12
	Good evening everyone. Before I start, Giorgio did stop by tonight to say hi before I give the presentation.	00:30:27
	Where's the squirrel?	00:30:35
	Hey, Giorgio.	00:30:37
	Hi, buddy. He loves that. He's a squirrel catch, you know he loves.	00:30:39
	Always great to see him. I know buddy.	00:30:44
	You know the unique thing about having the non apprehend?	00:30:50
	Dogs is everything they.	00:30:52
	This guy has turned into a.	00:30:54
	Truly a therapy dog in the station, in the community. He wants to play and if you get him on the carpet, he just wants his belly.	00:30:57
	But he's super sweet.	00:31:03
	Thanks buddy.	00:31:05
	He's on everything, but not like he was the first time. Yes, and recently the officers were on a call with a military vet that was	00:31:12
	going through a mental health crisis.	00:31:18
	And you know, all our officers are CIT trained and they were doing a really good job with communication, but there was still a	00:31:23
	hard breakthrough.	00:31:26
	Officer Magana Joel there got Giorgio out of the car.	00:31:30
	Instant a guy hugged him and just got into conversations that I reminded him of his dog and.	00:31:34
	The cooperativeness.	00:31:41
	Came full force, so we're now going to look at the potential of.	00:31:42
	Putting him through some therapy dog training since he's a non apprehension dog.	00:31:46
	OK, lot of information to go over so I'm going to get this going.	00:31:51
	Towards the end we get to the homeless section, I'm going to have officers act from come up.	00:31:56
	And discuss the homeless part.	00:32:00
	If it works, maybe hold the questions at the end and I will try to get through this.	00:32:02
	As fast as I can. Where's my clicker?	00:32:07
	I'm always honored to present to you the.	00:32:23
	The hard work of your staff.	00:32:26
	The PD.	00:32:28
	All this is done an accomplishment with all the teamwork we do with the city Staffs.	00:32:30
	Everything that you support us for in the Council.	00:32:35
	And that the city manager does out of his office.	00:32:37
	OK. Reminder on our mission, vision and values, which we presented last year, leading our community's efforts and safety,	00:32:42
	enrichment and engagement.	00:32:45
	Serving our community with respect, compassion and courage and our values Respect, integrity, compassion.	00:32:49
	Courage and the uniqueness for us here in Winnemi is employee enrichment and Wellness.	00:32:55
	Our staffing levels.	00:33:03
	If you recall, last year you got bragging rights as a city.	00:33:04
	Have the first agency in the county that was fully staffed with.	00:33:09
	Sworn officers.	00:33:13
	It's very unique.	00:33:15
	Not only across the country, but very much so in Southern California. Everybody's.	00:33:16
	Trying their best to recruit the best and brightest into their organization.	00:33:20
	We did get up to 24.	00:33:24
	Sworn staff, which included the myself, the chief of the commander.	00:33:28
	Admin Sergeant.	00:33:32
	3 sergeants. We were able to take one of the operation sergeants, make them a traffic Sergeant.	00:33:33
	2 senior officers. The 12 police officers making up.	00:33:38
	One community resource officer. The motor officer.	00:33:42
	In the canine and one was a trainee.	00:33:45
	Understand this when we came to you for support last year or for.	00:33:48
	Tools and resources such as.	00:33:52
	You know, motorcycle and canine.	00:33:54
	We weren't adding full time employees. We were.	00:33:55
	Adding tools and resources.	00:33:58
	For the motivated team that's already in place.	00:34:00
	To take those and use them.	00:34:03
	In patrol.	00:34:05
	We have.	00:34:09
	For reserve officers.	00:34:11
	We were up to two community serve officers and then we brought parking enforcement.	00:34:12
	Back over to the Police Department, which was here.	00:34:16
	Another PD.	00:34:19
	Well over 20 years ago.	00:34:21
	Investigations Division. There's one Sergeant here running the shop.	00:34:24
	There's a senior detective and then a police officer detective.	00:34:27
	And we have one Sergeant on the Organized Retail Theft Task force leading a team.	00:34:30
	With of deputies and police officers.	00:34:36
	Our staffing levels with the administration.	00:34:40
	Our support services, we have our one manager.	00:34:46
	One dispatch supervisor and five dispatchers.	00:34:49
	We had a transition last year in dispensers, you recall.	00:34:53
	We lost dispatcher Ivan Vasquez at a very young age to cancer.	00:34:56
	And then we brought a board, Nikki.	00:35:00
	We've it's still.	00:35:05
	Losing Ivan at such a young age and last year in May.	00:35:09
	Was.	00:35:17
	Rough for the department, but the good thing was we had brought peer support.	00:35:18
	And some other things into the department.	00:35:23
	In time to help address that.	00:35:25
	Property and Evidence. One supervisor in the support services part Technician part time back there in property and evidence.	00:35:29
	And then in records.	00:35:36
	There are uh.	00:35:37
	To senior records technicians and we've held a spot in their vacant during all of last year.	00:35:38
	We have 11 explorers and growing. We just recruited some more.	00:35:47
	And three police chaplains.	00:35:50
	Call summary so 911 calls.	00:35:59
	We're at 7082. It's actually down from last year our administrative calls.	00:36:03
	Or 24 thousand 057, but that's also down.	00:36:09
	In the for the total calls.	00:36:13
	They're down from about.	00:36:16
	Altogether from last year about 33,400 to 31.	00:36:18
	1000.	00:36:22
	Our incident totals.	00:36:25
	For the department.	00:36:28
	Is 18,890. Incident totals from last year was about 16,700, so we are up that.	00:36:30
	Is also because of activity of your personnel.	00:36:37
	Doing more work in the field so that brings your total number of incidents up.	00:36:40
	Police reports are up this year by about 200. More at.	00:36:45
	1531.	00:36:49
	And the most common incidents are subject disturbing calls.	00:36:51
	And our.	00:36:55
	Traffic stops, disabled vehicles, those.	00:36:57
	Self initiated activities by your.	00:37:00
	Field personnel.	00:37:02
	Our homeless related calls last year were at about 10%. They're down a little bit.	00:37:05
	Between the five and 10% mark of our calls the problem with an exact number on homeless calls sometimes those subject disturbing	00:37:10
	calls are actually homeless related, but they.	00:37:14
	Did not get queued as.	00:37:18
	Homeless related calls.	00:37:21
	Quality of life incidents.	00:37:24
	Everything has gone up.	00:37:28
	With the exception of.	00:37:31
	A few less loud music party calls.	00:37:33
	And suspicious vehicle calls.	00:37:36
	Maybe, uh.	00:37:38
	The suspicious vehicle calls are down drastically in half, probably because.	00:37:40
	Word got out that we have flock cameras in the city.	00:37:45
	We have good response times and maybe people are prowling and doing less.	00:37:48
	Arrests.	00:37:56
	Are down slightly to 637. They're about 685 last year.	00:37:57
	Among those.	00:38:02
	Adult 595 and the 36 juvenile.	00:38:05
	Something that.	00:38:08
	Wanted to bring here was juvenile diversion which we got up successfully running.	00:38:10
	Last year working with our partners and county with probation.	00:38:14
	With the Sheriff's Department.	00:38:18
	And City Impact and the City Impact team has incredible resources that we can bring a juvenile who.	00:38:20
	Is subject to arrest but chooses to take a path.	00:38:26
	To juvenile diversion.	00:38:29
	To avoid the system.	00:38:30
	And if they agreed to that and the family agrees, we had four in this case.	00:38:32
	They all went through successfully.	00:38:37
	One of those juveniles even called back.	00:38:40
	To talk to.	00:38:43
	The detaining officer officer from.	00:38:45
	To thank him for giving him the opportunity for juvenile diversion and changing his life.	00:38:47
	These these four stayed on or three of the four stayed on with the program to do more stuff that they're doing at City Impact.	00:38:54
	And one of them apparently is even trying to.	00:39:01
	Be a mentor to other kids. So this is.	00:39:04
	This is good news and I hope to see those numbers grow.	00:39:07
	Your traffic citations.	00:39:10
	Are up.	00:39:12
	I had to note from 20/23, it was 784 to 1306. That's what happens folks when you put motorcycle officers out there.	00:39:13
	To slow speeding and other hazardous driving.	00:39:21
	Very proud of our.	00:39:27
	Average response times in this city? I've always bragged about it. Even when I worked in another city, I talked about how great	00:39:29
	the response times were in Fort Wayne, ME.	00:39:32
	And having an average of 2.3 minutes in today's world.	00:39:36
	For an average call is.	00:39:39
	It's great, we get 2 calls fast and sometimes the initial call are still on giving details to the to the.	00:39:42
	To the dispatcher while we're pulling up on scene.	00:39:48
	OK. As I mentioned, parking enforcement came over to the PD mid year.	00:39:55
	Right at July 1st we moved him over.	00:39:59
	And I was very happy to hear somebody come in.	00:40:02
	And praise the.	00:40:05
	Of your.	00:40:07
	Hard working parking enforcement officers.	00:40:08
	Sometimes.	00:40:11
	You just hear the negative and you don't hear the praise. The work they do is difficult.	00:40:12
	It's hard.	00:40:17
	But there's a reason for traffic flow and parking safety and things like that, so.	00:40:18
	If you see the.	00:40:23
	Top 2 lines are the six months prior to coming over.	00:40:26
	And then the bottom 2 are the six months.	00:40:30
	Here at the PD.	00:40:33
	The drastic difference is that green line. The green line is.	00:40:34
	They're following our respectful, compassionate approach and spirit of the law and how we.	00:40:38
	Handle enforcement in the city.	00:40:43
	And that is?	00:40:46
	Warning citations in green.	00:40:48
	And it's allowing people to change their parking behaviors.	00:40:51
	Before they have to cite them.	00:40:54
	The majority the reason why you might have seen a little bit of decline in the top bar.	00:40:56
	The first six months of the year.	00:41:00
	Was we suspended some parking enforcement?	00:41:02
	As a city after the storm.	00:41:05
	If you recall.	00:41:06
	The good news is, in these past six months, the majority of the red citations.	00:41:09
	Have been down at beach parking.	00:41:14
	I don't understand why people would still come to our beautiful beach.	00:41:16
	And not pay the lowest beach parking ticket prices I've ever seen.	00:41:20
	It's like $8 for the whole day like.	00:41:25
	So, but they're still out there and so.	00:41:27
	Parking does focus on that.	00:41:30
	Can I just say something? Thank you so much for explaining this line. I think if.	00:41:33
	If someone would review this report.	00:41:37
	Outside of hearing you say and I recall when.	00:41:41
	After the storm, there weren't.	00:41:45
	The tickets weren't being giving out, given out.	00:41:47
	So if you didn't have that information, you just look at this and say, wow, they're giving more tickets.	00:41:49
	But they're.	00:41:55
	They're given warnings as well.	00:41:57
	And so.	00:41:58
	That, uh.	00:42:00
	Top line I imagine if.	00:42:00
	We didn't halt.	00:42:03
	The tickets.	00:42:05
	Being given that, that line would be probably.	00:42:06
	The 449 and the 12:52.	00:42:09
	The warning? I even went on right along with both our park enforcement officers when they came over.	00:42:12
	And we talked about.	00:42:18
	My philosophy, the community's philosophy and how we want to approach these.	00:42:20
	And.	00:42:24
	Like I said.	00:42:25
	They either one of them will tell you right away what's the highest number tickets or what's the highest category tickets. It's	00:42:26
	now beach parking that's the focus.	00:42:30
	In a small community like ours.	00:42:35
	If somebody's blocking somebody's driveway or there is a there is a need or somebody has explained they called to complain about.	00:42:37
	Certain parking violations, they'll let us know.	00:42:43
	You know, they'll let us know we are doing proactive patrols in the neighborhood.	00:42:45
	But I think a community that's able to call in when.	00:42:49
	When it's a nuisance.	00:42:52
	Is a happier community.	00:42:55
	And then when parking enforcement is down, focused on the beach where people should be paying, it's clearly marked.	00:42:57
	Then that also makes for a happier community. And just one more question, if I may.	00:43:02
	So when you give tickets.	00:43:07
	Do you see where the car is registered at?	00:43:10
	And I get the reason I ask that. Are the tickets coming from people who don't live in Port Hueneme?	00:43:13
	Now, some of them are residents. If some of them are out and they're not running the plates, they're just issuing the ticket	00:43:18
	pretty quickly on an electronic device and then leaving it.	00:43:24
	Thank you.	00:43:29
	OK, I'm gonna.	00:43:32
	I'm going to bring you to the chart while I read these next two instead of having you on the paragraphs.	00:43:34
	So.	00:43:39
	Fort Worth Police Department.	00:43:40
	Previously utilized the Uniform Crime Reporting System, which has been the data collection method for law enforcement agencies	00:43:41
	across the country for many decades.	00:43:45
	This year, law enforcement agencies have now transitioned.	00:43:50
	To the National incident based reporting system.	00:43:53
	The change the neighbors from the former UCR system.	00:43:55
	Can make crime statistics appear higher in the first year of transition.	00:43:59
	This is primarily because Neighbors captures a much more detailed picture of crime.	00:44:03
	By reporting every offense within an incident.	00:44:07
	Versus reporting only the most serious crime in a single incident in the past.	00:44:10
	There are now multiple reported crimes for some incidents.	00:44:15
	That may have only had one crime reported per incident in the past.	00:44:18
	There are two categories.	00:44:24
	Shown here the property crime and the violent crime.	00:44:26
	Again, this is going off of what we could compare to last year's with the new numbers that they keep with the new system. So we	00:44:30
	did our best to.	00:44:33
	Try to match him.	00:44:37
	A significant increase in burglaries.	00:44:39
	Has nothing to do with the systems. That has everything to do with.	00:44:42
	The flooding we had.	00:44:45
	After the storm.	00:44:48
	That the community suffered.	00:44:50
	In late December 2023, over the next few weeks, we had several burglaries reported in the area.	00:44:52
	Where homes were left vulnerable after the flooding.	00:44:57
	Laughter.	00:45:00
	Properties were left vacant.	00:45:02
	And a lot of times we had to double check with folks and just make sure it wasn't something that was cleaned up in the removal of	00:45:04
	debris and property.	00:45:07
	If you recall, how much?	00:45:11
	Assertiveness. We did.	00:45:13
	As a Police Department in our vulnerable neighborhoods that were.	00:45:15
	Were vacant, we were making an arrest or we make an arrest.	00:45:19
	We were doing surveillance on some people that we weren't sure if they were there to help.	00:45:22
	Or hinder.	00:45:26
	We had a couple of foot chases. I was involved in one myself.	00:45:29
	And we got people in custody who were up to no good.	00:45:32
	Among that 24 hours a day.	00:45:35
	It's hard to be in there.	00:45:38
	And there was a few.	00:45:39
	Some incidents that would have been previously categorized under simple assault.	00:45:43
	Are now moved up to aggravated assault, so it looks like our aggravated assault numbers are.	00:45:48
	Or higher. This created a significant increase.	00:45:53
	That is due to the change in the system. So next year when I'm able to present.	00:45:56
	To similar systems under an Ibar under neighbors.	00:46:01
	It'll look.	00:46:05
	It'll be easier to compare.	00:46:06
	The other.	00:46:09
	Significant increase.	00:46:11
	In violent crimes category.	00:46:13
	Is that the from the homicide incident in 2023?	00:46:15
	To the two separate homicide incidents involved.	00:46:19
	With three reportable homicides in 2024.	00:46:22
	What you will see next year.	00:46:30
	Is a comparison between.	00:46:33
	The new neighbors chart.	00:46:35
	With.	00:46:37
	2024 and 2025.	00:46:38
	And as you can see, it's breaking categories down.	00:46:42
	To be more specific to understanding.	00:46:46
	What's going on in each crime trend and what's affiliated to a crime where they weren't tracking specifically the weapon or if	00:46:49
	drug use or mental health was involved, That is something now that we're going to track nationally.	00:46:54
	OK, every Police Department in California has DOJ reporting.	00:47:05
	Amongst.	00:47:14
	What you're going to see is I'm going to explain them and then on the next page you're going to see the outcome of our reporting.	00:47:16
	SB54 All individuals transferred from our custody to immigration authorities.	00:47:21
	Per the government code.	00:47:26
	You will also see death in custody and arrest related.	00:47:27
	Arrest related deaths.	00:47:31
	Law enforcement personnel say survey of the number of personnel.	00:47:33
	AB 953 The civilian complaints against police officers, the number of criminal and non criminal complaints and dispositions.	00:47:40
	AB71, The use of force reporting.	00:47:47
	Must be reporting use of force incidents that result in serious.	00:47:51
	Bodily injury or death?	00:47:55
	To a civilian and or a police officer.	00:47:57
	And then our repo reporting.	00:47:59
	Our Racial Identification and Profiling Act numbers.	00:48:02
	After each stop, an officer must complete.	00:48:06
	And we fill those out after.	00:48:09
	At the end of the day.	00:48:11
	So when I go to the chart, I'm always happy to report this. First of all, all your reports are available on Open Justice.	00:48:14
	DOJ.	00:48:21
	Gov.	00:48:22
	As far as?	00:48:24
	Transfers to immigrations.	00:48:25
	For the city? For what? You mean it's 0?	00:48:27
	Death in custody and arrest related deaths.	00:48:31
	Our law enforcement personnel survey 22 male, two female.	00:48:35
	Non sworn 3 mil and nine female. It doesn't count certain positions in the department of non sworn, IE the part time.	00:48:39
	So that's why I put the 12 next to it. That would be our full contingent.	00:48:46
	Civilian complaints against peace officers.	00:48:50
	Even Commander Albertson told me he doesn't remember the.	00:48:53
	Last time we had just seen one.	00:48:56
	One your folks.	00:48:58
	Your team is out there.	00:49:01
	Being assertive on the streets, they're making contacts, they're making arrests.	00:49:02
	You saw the numbers before you.	00:49:07
	In almost every organization that has assertive police officers out there.	00:49:08
	You will see a number of complaints. There are some people who will will complain.	00:49:12
	Just because.	00:49:17
	They got caught or.	00:49:18
	They disagree.	00:49:19
	We had one.	00:49:21
	One folks.	00:49:23
	Very proud of this team and their professionalism and their.	00:49:24
	Acts as respectful, compassionate guardians.	00:49:28
	Use of force reporting.	00:49:32
	A zero that met the criteria.	00:49:34
	Our RIPA stops there were 962 that were submitted by the deadline of the October count.	00:49:37
	With umm.	00:49:43
	Amongst those stops, there was 1047 individuals encountered.	00:49:44
	OK, accomplishments for 2024?	00:49:53
	We promoted one new support services manager at the end of the year.	00:49:55
	We've hired.	00:50:00
	We hired 2 police officers.	00:50:01
	And we welcome parking back, I mentioned that.	00:50:04
	We created the community resources officer position, so we took the cannabis HLO position and we've put.	00:50:07
	Schools and the other need for this trend in graffiti right now. I wanted to go back to a system where we were doing more	00:50:12
	tracking.	00:50:15
	So your community resources officer Zach from so he's built out.	00:50:18
	Some program for tracking graffiti.	00:50:22
	He handles some new programs we've started in the schools.	00:50:25
	As well as.	00:50:30
	Maintaining and monitoring the enforcement side of cannabis.	00:50:31
	And our homeless liaison efforts.	00:50:34
	We brought back a regular beach patrol. You might have seen the Polaris. They've even been out there myself.	00:50:37
	We brought back a regular.	00:50:43
	Scheduled beach patrol, especially on holiday weekends.	00:50:45
	I've seen many of you out there myself. When?	00:50:49
	Usually you're barbecuing or you're just hanging out the beach.	00:50:52
	And for the first time in the department's history, we added a second motorcycle officer.	00:50:56
	Not only increase in traffic enforcement, but folks.	00:51:03
	I know when the report was given.	00:51:06
	By Commander Albertson on the history of the motor program here.	00:51:09
	Where we brought the motor and it reduced fatal crashes.	00:51:12
	We took the motor away years later and we went years with an increase in fatal.	00:51:16
	Crashes.	00:51:21
	And uh.	00:51:22
	Since the motors been back.	00:51:23
	2022.	00:51:25
	There was two fatals. We brought the motor in 2023. There was one fatal crash.	00:51:27
	And last year there was 0.	00:51:31
	Now, you might have heard of two crashes involving deaths.	00:51:33
	There was one in front of Grocery Outlet.	00:51:36
	That was a medical emergency. That was not a fatal crash. That's that's unavoidable, very sad and tragic.	00:51:39
	Incident.	00:51:45
	There was one on hemlock with a young man.	00:51:46
	After the, our traffic team took that investigation.	00:51:48
	All causes of the crash, the speed.	00:51:53
	All attributing factors happened in the city of Oxnard.	00:51:55
	The vehicles.	00:51:58
	Original point of impact was in the city of Oxnard. The sad thing is the vehicle went airborne and landed.	00:51:59
	Across the street in the city of port waiting me. So if you understand jurisdictional, this was not our crash.	00:52:04
	That is a.	00:52:11
	City of Oxnard crash.	00:52:12
	So all the.	00:52:13
	Contributing factors are not in the city of Fort. What do you mean?	00:52:15
	We created a full time Traffic Unit. There used to be a motor or traffic officer in the history of the department.	00:52:21
	Collaterally a.	00:52:28
	A Sergeant overseeing it, usually a day watch Sergeant.	00:52:30
	We changed the game here.	00:52:34
	To take the.	00:52:36
	Communities concerns for traffic. Seriously. And you have first time you have a full time Traffic Unit.	00:52:38
	Which also allowed us to bring parking over and put them in the Traffic Unit. Which reassigned the CSO's to the Traffic Unit.	00:52:43
	And you have a full Traffic Unit.	00:52:49
	Again, other than bringing parking over, we did this without adding.	00:52:52
	Ftes we?	00:52:56
	We moved personnel around.	00:52:57
	Empowered them and gave them the equipment and the.	00:53:01
	The opportunity to handle the Traffic Unit.	00:53:03
	With that, another first for the department.	00:53:07
	Is the traffic the commercial enforcement equipment?	00:53:10
	Which I was thinking.	00:53:14
	BCTC friends as they really because that VCTC grant is what brought you.	00:53:15
	Your commercial enforcement.	00:53:20
	It was. All the commercial enforcement equipment was fully funded.	00:53:22
	By a $31,000 grant from BCTC.	00:53:25
	That is there to.	00:53:28
	Bring some safety and some security measures of our traffic flow, not just on the boulevards, but that which is coming from our	00:53:32
	port so.	00:53:36
	There's a, there's a, there's a lot of pluses to have a commercial enforcement.	00:53:42
	Team Umm.	00:53:46
	It also brought us our first drone. If you recall, part of that package was a drone.	00:53:48
	We've had success with using the drone outside of the traffic investigation field that it was originally brought for.	00:53:53
	We had some spacious subjects on the roof of a shopping center. In the old days, we'd get the fire department out there, our	00:53:59
	friends in the fire department.	00:54:03
	I love them because they have ladders.	00:54:06
	Beck and call and we would put two ladders up and have to do a tactical climb.	00:54:08
	On two sides of the building, Well, we have drones now. We don't have to do that. We brought the drone, we used it.	00:54:13
	I think Sergeant Bates used his dad voice.	00:54:21
	And gave commands to the suspects from the drone and ordered them off the roof so.	00:54:23
	It's it's got some successful use. We would love to expand the.	00:54:28
	Drone program, we'll talk more about that later because we are very close to.	00:54:33
	The ability to have a.	00:54:39
	Potential of a drone.	00:54:41
	First responder program, but we'll present that later.	00:54:42
	We got a Bosch crash data recorder in a new Lidar systems.	00:54:45
	Laser.	00:54:51
	The old radar.	00:54:54
	Speed gun. It's now Lidars.	00:54:55
	Which is a more accurate?	00:54:57
	Speed detector.	00:55:00
	And the Bosch crash data.	00:55:01
	Does everybody have one of those?	00:55:04
	Yeah, they're very unique, but it's the best.	00:55:06
	Vehicle reader for.	00:55:09
	Reading the computer in a car for crash data.	00:55:11
	And we have one of the unique ones that can read multiple cars.	00:55:14
	Very accurate and honestly on a risk management side for the city.	00:55:19
	It's outstanding to have that.	00:55:23
	Because in a lot of fatal crashes, there's a lot of.	00:55:25
	Engineering questions and stuff about the city, but when we have all the facts that we can gain for ourselves.	00:55:28
	It's a benefit to the city.	00:55:32
	We upgraded virtual retraining, virtual reality training for our officers.	00:55:36
	We upgraded.	00:55:41
	To a higher quality Taser 10, which is another useful.	00:55:42
	Tool to reduce injuries to both us and arrestees.	00:55:47
	And we upgraded our body worn camera system.	00:55:53
	We've had improvements within the station remodel after the flooding of 2023.	00:55:56
	It's we've.	00:56:02
	Worked within budget with that to get everything up and running. I told you I was even able to squeeze in I think when I talked	00:56:05
	about the Wellness presentation.	00:56:08
	Squeeze in a small gym at the back of the station.	00:56:12
	So.	00:56:15
	And we bought some equipment with that.	00:56:16
	With with grant money from the state.	00:56:18
	And you saw Giorgio as our newest K9 officer in five years.	00:56:22
	And there's a lot of community support for a second K9.	00:56:26
	Giorgio focuses on explosives and.	00:56:32
	And, umm.	00:56:34
	Firearms.	00:56:36
	The next one would focus on narcotics. You can't cross train them in that.	00:56:38
	But in both cases.	00:56:42
	They're able to.	00:56:43
	Sniff out people so not just for suspects but one with a lost child disappears or.	00:56:45
	Or one of our residents, our young residents with autism.	00:56:50
	Goes lost from the home at night. We can bring a canine out there and have them sniff the bedding and start looking right away.	00:56:53
	And find a lot faster than we can with flashlights.	00:56:58
	We've.	00:57:04
	Let's see hired 3 new Police Explorers. We hosted a regional Police Explorer Academy. We hosted Police Explorer holiday toy	00:57:06
	giveaway. Thanksgiving Turkey giveaway.	00:57:11
	Police explore car show Havana Knights fundraiser.	00:57:17
	The Explorers competed in two state and one national competition.	00:57:20
	The Sunny Horses for Kids folks came out and we did an event with them with our officers at the Boys and Girls Club.	00:57:25
	Wyoming Beat. We participated in Wyoming Beach Festival fun run events.	00:57:31
	Part of Wine Me Beach Festival.	00:57:35
	There's been a lot of backpack medicine events. I can let Zach talk about them when he gets to homeless.	00:57:38
	We did a really cool thing this year. We did the Autism Society of Ventura Counties ought to run.	00:57:42
	But we did it as a City team.	00:57:47
	We had.	00:57:52
	Other members of the department. Members of council.	00:57:53
	I wanted to walk.	00:57:56
	Council member Perez was like, no, you will keep running. If I'm running, you're running. I wanted to just walk the second-half of	00:57:59
	that thing.	00:58:02
	And it was good, but we had.	00:58:06
	Different members from different.	00:58:09
	Departments in the city plus members of our community.	00:58:12
	All running in camera rail for that. So that was that was a good day and we're gonna do it again this year.	00:58:15
	Special Olympics torch run participation, which again had members of the City Council, a lot of people involved in that.	00:58:21
	We hosted another National Night Out event.	00:58:27
	And our social media continues each year to increase over 10%.	00:58:30
	Talked about juvenile diversion. Justice Assistant Grant.	00:58:39
	With our county partners and city impact team.	00:58:42
	I won't get into that again as I already explained.	00:58:46
	4 juveniles, three of them stayed beyond their requirement.	00:58:48
	The grants spending on grants so.	00:58:51
	Juvenile or the justice assistance grant.	00:58:55
	We've used.	00:58:57
	$9140.00 of that in this year's budget.	00:58:59
	The Organized Retail Theft grant brought us $254,000.	00:59:04
	Officer Wellness and Mental Health grant, we spent all 20,000 of that.	00:59:11
	This year and the Prop 64.	00:59:15
	Cohort 2 and Cohort 3 grants although.	00:59:19
	There's hundreds of thousands going to the Boys and Girls Club.	00:59:22
	Through the the City Grant 64,000 came back to our budget to fund a position.	00:59:25
	Again, I mentioned VCTC 31,000.	00:59:33
	And our total grants that we attained this year.	00:59:36
	That we allocated this year was 379,000.	00:59:39
	151.	00:59:43
	Lots of community engagement and then it brings us to.	00:59:47
	Homeless with your community resources officer?	00:59:52
	Zach from.	00:59:55
	Some good numbers to report.	00:59:59
	Good evening, SO.	01:00:04
	Homelessness. I'd like to start with the graph on the right.	01:00:06
	It is just a heat map if you will, just the hotspots for calls for service. So if you see on the North End.	01:00:09
	Where the red is, it's generally around the mainly village marketplace as well as Olvera.	01:00:16
	The beach has gone down. We'll go over that in a second. So the point in time count in 2024 was 44.	01:00:22
	Individuals that were.	01:00:29
	Experiencing homelessness, so a point in time count for 20/25 was 21, so we decreased that significantly.	01:00:31
	With not only myself but our entire department just working with anyone that they can to at least direct them to me or I can	01:00:38
	direct them to the proper resources.	01:00:43
	Individuals House.	01:00:48
	In 2024 was one and the OS stands for out of state one individual who.	01:00:50
	Was primarily around the peer area. Some of you may have seen him with his girlfriend under the pier in the little.	01:00:56
	Table area and stuff like that. He's from Georgia.	01:01:03
	Experiencing homelessness.	01:01:06
	We've had countless calls for service on them and just.	01:01:08
	Initially was service resistant, which is.	01:01:12
	A difficult thing to just breakthrough to people that understand that there are resources for them.	01:01:15
	But eventually we got to him and he was just tired of living, you know, under the pier and tired of us coming out there talking to	01:01:20
	him and just wanted his life back so.	01:01:25
	He's from Georgia.	01:01:30
	He had family there that was one to take him in and we were shot to our county, county resources.	01:01:31
	And got him back to Georgia on a Greyhound bus. So it was a nice little success story.	01:01:36
	Him and his girlfriend.	01:01:42
	You actually send one of our officers, Officer, can you know a selfie?	01:01:43
	Of him and his his girlfriend on the bus going back. So it was a little heartwarming to see, You know, you always hear you send	01:01:47
	people off and you hope that they make it. And it was encouraging.	01:01:51
	We received that simple picture.	01:01:57
	So since the.	01:01:59
	CRO position.	01:02:02
	Previously was the HLO the homeless liaison officer.	01:02:03
	That was created in 2021.	01:02:06
	We have housed 5 people so it's a.	01:02:10
	Awesome. Umm.	01:02:13
	But the biggest difficulty, again I'll reiterate, is just people being service resistant.	01:02:14
	We contact individuals every single day, we offer resources and it's just whether they're willing to receive.	01:02:19
	The help and so.	01:02:27
	Speaking on backpack medicine as well.	01:02:28
	We met with them today, did a whole.	01:02:31
	Roundabout in the city, just trying to contact anyone that we can.	01:02:33
	And James Boyd, the director of all that, he's an awesome man and he's.	01:02:38
	Got his work cut out for him, but he spends time with our city which is awesome and he cares and he's always available no matter	01:02:42
	if he's in our city.	01:02:46
	Were in another city doing a cleanup or doing whatever he's doing elsewhere in the county.	01:02:49
	Yeah, frequency is increasing, so that's encouraging.	01:02:55
	Just because we're trying to breakthrough the service resistant people, letting them know that we don't.	01:02:59
	At the end of the day, we don't have to take him to, you know, county jail or there's there's actual legitimate help. There's	01:03:04
	shelters, there's there's these things for you, especially for veteran too as well. There's all these resources.	01:03:09
	So we're increasing the frequency of backpack medicine, so.	01:03:14
	We're going to be changing the date hopefully of the week just because of certain days off and things like that, but it's	01:03:18
	increasing, which is extremely encouraging, so.	01:03:22
	Yes, that's a good transition. So I've been working extremely closely with the Ventura County District Attorneys office and	01:03:31
	because of.	01:03:35
	The Grants Pass Supreme Court decision it now has allowed us.	01:03:39
	A little more enforcement options and so some of the previous laws that we were not allowed to enforce at all.	01:03:44
	Just kind of went to the wayside we're now.	01:03:51
	Allowed to enforce those laws, and mainly that has to do with private property versus public property.	01:03:53
	And so a lot of our.	01:03:58
	Issues, if you will, would.	01:04:00
	Generally tend to be on private property. The things you see at Mandalay Village, the things you see at Olvera.	01:04:02
	In various other places they now allow a certain.	01:04:07
	Codes that were allowed to use to may affect an arrest.	01:04:10
	If that's the last resort, of course.	01:04:13
	So encouraging things coming.	01:04:16
	Had a really good conversation, followed up one of my cases at the end of last week and they're actually filing the charges that	01:04:18
	we were previously not allowed to based off the Grants Pass decision. So.	01:04:23
	And Prop 36, thank you for everyone.	01:04:29
	Yes.	01:04:32
	Yep, cool.	01:04:34
	Any questions at all questions while I'm here, I do have one specific question for you officer, from how much of your time do you	01:04:36
	spend?	01:04:41
	With the homeless, is it your whole?	01:04:47
	Everything. I mean, you're.	01:04:51
	All day your job is to just.	01:04:53
	Be the liaison.	01:04:56
	If I'm at work and if I.	01:04:58
	I'm not going to the homeless related call and another officer is they will direct it to me. Call me out there.	01:05:00
	Generally.	01:05:06
	The guy to go to for homeless if I am there so I will get dispatched to all those calls. It may feel like it's all I do sometimes,	01:05:08
	but I have a lot of other responsibilities like Chief went over with.	01:05:13
	Schools and youth outreach and all that stuff.	01:05:19
	But I do spend a significant amount of time.	01:05:23
	Of everyday handling homeless related issues.	01:05:26
	Thank you. And I just want to thank you for that.	01:05:30
	We we see it from afar.	01:05:33
	And so just it.	01:05:36
	You know to have to.	01:05:38
	Come in contact with and and just.	01:05:40
	Umm, continually, you know, and not giving up.	01:05:44
	Yeah, is very, very important and.	01:05:47
	I'd say it's God's work. So I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you, Councilmember. Thank you.	01:05:51
	The other day officer from I saw a U-Haul truck.	01:05:58
	And they were collecting.	01:06:01
	Beds and.	01:06:04
	Wedding and homeless stuff that was hidden where these spots were. Could you tell us a little bit about what that was?	01:06:05
	Yes, so we.	01:06:12
	Chief and I and a couple other other members of the department had a really good meeting with the property manager of Mandalay	01:06:14
	Village Shopping Center. I'm assuming that's maybe where he saw it. OK.	01:06:19
	And we had a really good walk through with them, did a really just deep dive on the entire property, the CEO that handles the	01:06:25
	entire.	01:06:29
	From Seattle all the way down to San Diego, came out and did a walkthrough with us.	01:06:33
	And we spent a significant amount of time there and.	01:06:37
	They're completely invested in that property, they love the property and they love that we're willing to work with them with	01:06:40
	whatever they need.	01:06:43
	And they're also willing to do whatever they can. And so that day.	01:06:47
	They just had a.	01:06:51
	I guess a clean up crew come out that handled over oversized.	01:06:55
	And soiled.	01:06:59
	Bedding and bulk items. Sorry that's what I was looking for.	01:07:03
	Bulk items. And so they're really doing a deep dive and I know that they were pressure washing, power washing the side of the	01:07:07
	house, the old House of gains right there and they're really.	01:07:11
	Invested in that property. When I saw the truck it was nearly full.	01:07:16
	Yeah, and.	01:07:20
	I thought that was a great example of communication with our community stakeholders working together and all that. So that was	01:07:21
	really nice to see.	01:07:25
	Thank you.	01:07:29
	Any other questions?	01:07:30
	So recently there was a.	01:07:34
	Treehouse.	01:07:36
	By KFC someone was there for looks like a little while.	01:07:38
	What was?	01:07:42
	What was the end result?	01:07:44
	Did he mental health drugs?	01:07:46
	Mainly mental health.	01:07:49
	So that trios was discovered, I'm sure many people have saw it on social media. It kind of made its headlines around.	01:07:51
	A lot of my friends that work at the LA County Sheriff's Department even sent it to myself and they're like, what's going on here?	01:07:59
	I'm like, all right.	01:08:02
	We're figuring it out.	01:08:05
	But uh.	01:08:07
	The property manager, what they were doing some tree trimming, they exposed this tree house. We would have never have saw it if.	01:08:08
	They didn't do any of the.	01:08:14
	The abatement with the branches.	01:08:16
	And so it was initially.	01:08:18
	Someone that was very service resistant resistant.	01:08:22
	And I believe he still is service resistant. He still frequents that area in the Wine Amy Bay Shopping Center.	01:08:24
	But yes, we have offered him.	01:08:31
	Help and we.	01:08:32
	Eventually, obviously, took down.	01:08:33
	The.	01:08:35
	So last question.	01:08:37
	How you know the?	01:08:39
	The waterways that are under there are.	01:08:43
	Do we frequently go through through there?	01:08:45
	Yeah, myself and Sergeant Perez over there, we love to get down and dirty. We'll go down. We have a key for the county entrance	01:08:48
	along.	01:08:51
	Just north of KFC, there's a little.	01:08:56
	Gate access down there we have our own little Batman style rope and we'll repel down into the canals and we walk through.	01:08:59
	All the way under the intersection, there's a giant L that you just can't see. It just goes down, connects to Channel Islands, and	01:09:06
	we'll walk it ourselves. And we walk it before every major storm. Every.	01:09:10
	Just to see if anyone's down there. We've had tents and we've encountered several people, dogs. It's.	01:09:15
	It's pretty wild sometimes.	01:09:22
	Thank you, of course.	01:09:24
	Yeah, Councilmember.	01:09:26
	Officer from Thank you for your work with our homeless situation in Port Wine, Amy.	01:09:28
	Umm, I remember hearing. I'm not sure if it was at a port meeting or this meeting.	01:09:34
	Residents from Harbor Lights complaining about.	01:09:39
	People screaming and yelling they have but.	01:09:42
	Right against Mandalay.	01:09:45
	Village Shopping Center.	01:09:46
	Have you had any discussions with the HOA there about the walkthrough you did and the cleanup efforts that the.	01:09:48
	The shopping center took on. I think they'd really like to know.	01:09:56
	That you've made some progress there.	01:09:59
	Yes, we do meet with their HOA's especially, mainly our beat coordinator for that area as well.	01:10:01
	And so I have experienced that as well, even just driving through, even hearing that.	01:10:08
	It's kind of hard to sometimes know where it's coming from because things echo off certain structures.	01:10:12
	But umm.	01:10:17
	I will follow up with our B coordinator to make sure that's addressed.	01:10:19
	Thank you.	01:10:22
	All right, of course.	01:10:28
	When they signed up to be peace officers, they didn't know they'd be repelling into canals, did you?	01:10:29
	But they go above and beyond. That's the services you get here from this Police Department.	01:10:37
	And again, when we deal with the canals too, we have to do it in conjunction with communicating with Oxnard if they're going to do	01:10:41
	some type of activity or clean up in the city of Oxnard.	01:10:45
	We need to be ready because the next place.	01:10:49
	Individuals may want to go is there so.	01:10:52
	We do cleanups in those canals compassionately before the storms, plus we check for debris and communicate with our county	01:10:54
	partners and public works.	01:10:58
	If we go down there and find debris that needs to get moved out before storm.	01:11:01
	And.	01:11:06
	We regularly go down there just to look for people.	01:11:07
	All right.	01:11:11
	With that, questions on.	01:11:14
	I have one question.	01:11:17
	In the slide that had the chart and you, there seemed to be a.	01:11:20
	A large jump from last year's 2023's report of assaults.	01:11:27
	To aggravated assaults was like 83 or 88.	01:11:32
	I know that you all are reporting.	01:11:38
	Based on.	01:11:40
	Possibly different definitions, yes. And you just so so we used to not we used to have to have things in conjunction with the	01:11:42
	reporting. So if it was it appeared to be a serious charge.	01:11:48
	But it was.	01:11:55
	There weren't significant injuries.	01:11:57
	Those didn't get counted. Now the injuries are out of play, which might have been a simple.	01:11:59
	Assault before.	01:12:03
	The injuries doesn't matter, the action does.	01:12:05
	Weapon does.	01:12:07
	Even though the person didn't get injured, so that got.	01:12:08
	Put into.	01:12:11
	The higher number.	01:12:12
	So next year's we'll look.	01:12:14
	Hopefully where.	01:12:16
	There will be a more defined number similar to that, either up or down.	01:12:18
	Yes, Mayor Pro Tem.	01:12:22
	So.	01:12:24
	There was a heat map of.	01:12:26
	Don House, do we have a heat map of like?	01:12:29
	Of this chart.	01:12:34
	We do. We have.	01:12:37
	Our Socrata based on our website that you can go to.	01:12:40
	And.	01:12:44
	We Where's Frank?	01:12:45
	Can we do?	01:12:48
	Sorry.	01:12:52
	The calls for service versus the Dyspo.	01:12:55
	And that's where that's where our technology gets.	01:12:58
	So with Socrata is based off of the heat map, it's based off our calls for service derived from our dispatch center. So there's	01:13:01
	functions where you could.	01:13:05
	You guys to go find a while what you're looking specifically it could be whether it's like a fight call, a transient disturbing a	01:13:09
	subject disturbing call. It will show you. And then you could do a comparison from like the year prior, year of or like a three	01:13:14
	month look. But it's divided off of our calls for service, not necessarily our status reported from our reports.	01:13:20
	I would just curious because you know if we have.	01:13:26
	Aggravated assault.	01:13:29
	Robbery. Uh.	01:13:31
	You know, things that are actual were actual.	01:13:32
	Events.	01:13:34
	And you can actually see the heat map of those.	01:13:36
	That would.	01:13:39
	You could actually see where all the.	01:13:41
	The issues are in a quick.	01:13:43
	Correct. And the visual we do have some calls for servers that will show like an assault or like a.	01:13:46
	Certain criteria that we have and if you go on the on the.	01:13:52
	The link with the Crata will show you and you can select them and it will show you those specific types of calls. So it doesn't	01:13:55
	capture all of our calls, but there are certain preset calls that we have in our dispatch center.	01:13:59
	That will umm, uh.	01:14:04
	Like a.	01:14:05
	A shots, fire call, vehicle theft, we have a subject disturbing call on there and you can sort it from that from there.	01:14:06
	And if any of you guys have any question, I'll be more than welcome to show you guys how to navigate the program so you guys could	01:14:14
	run your own heat maps because it's all open to the public.	01:14:17
	Thank you.	01:14:21
	And as we build out our technology there, especially now.	01:14:22
	We're gonna build out.	01:14:27
	The technology around the new Neighbors campaign versus the UCR. So when we build that the technology out with our city's got.	01:14:28
	Is built up some technology over the years, but technology takes time.	01:14:35
	Maybe we can hone it in specific to the next standard of reporting.	01:14:39
	Great. Any other questions, Councilmember Hernandez, Chief, thank you for your report. I wanted to know you mentioned something	01:14:44
	about.	01:14:47
	Building improvements, I wanted to know the status on dispatch.	01:14:51
	How's that just coming along? So we are waiting on some really good technology for them. We're funded for this in the budget.	01:14:55
	So we've done the physical build out, they have these.	01:15:02
	These great ergonomic consoles, the spaces there.	01:15:05
	But the technology build out we did, we are still standing by for some of the technology.	01:15:10
	It's going to be.	01:15:15
	A good technology with some advancements to help on our dispatching of calls in 911.	01:15:16
	It's on its way.	01:15:21
	Thank you.	01:15:22
	Great.	01:15:26
	Questions. Thank you.	01:15:27
	Thank you all.	01:15:28
	OK.	01:15:33
	Will now consider items on the consent caller, which will be enacted in one motion unless a council member has a request to	01:15:35
	remove.	01:15:39
	An item for discussion.	01:15:43
	Any items pulled?	01:15:45
	If not, may I get a motion and a second?	01:15:47
	Move to approve.	01:15:50
	Thank you, Madam Clerk, please we have any discussion.	01:15:53
	Oh, sorry.	01:15:55
	Umm, you're taking discussion on consent?	01:15:58
	Do we need to? I just wanted to say I just wanted to.	01:16:02
	Thank you.	01:16:06
	All in favor.	01:16:11
	Aye, all opposed.	01:16:12
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	01:16:14
	Thank you.	01:16:17
	We're going to now move into the public hearings.	01:16:27
	Madam Clerk, do you have proof of publication as required by law and a complete file of reports and exhibits for the Adopt A	01:16:32
	resolution granting special use permit #1?	01:16:37
	Through 25.	01:16:42
	5 For the City of Port Hueneme 2025 Movie in the Park.	01:16:44
	Yes, Madam Mayor.	01:16:48
	Thank you.	01:16:50
	Will staff present the report?	01:16:51
	Hi, good evening.	01:16:57
	Thank you, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council, members of the community joining us tonight. So this will be a joint presentation.	01:16:59
	I'm Jose Coyote, the associate planner here and.	01:17:07
	Taylor Penny is joining us recreation coordinator with the Port Wayne Amy Recreation and Community Services division.	01:17:11
	Before you tonight is going to be special use permit 125 named.	01:17:19
	2025 Movies in the Park.	01:17:24
	The applicants request is to hold a public hearing, known as the 2025 Movies in the Park, featuring a city sponsored Movies in the	01:17:29
	Park screening series.	01:17:33
	With approximately 500 to 1200 participants at Wyoming Beach Park.	01:17:37
	The movie series event is to occur on June 13th, July 5th, and August 22nd, 2025 from roughly around 8:15 to 10:00 PM.	01:17:43
	The event will include portable screens.	01:17:53
	A well one portable screen, a speaker system and ADA accessible mat, and a refreshment station offering popcorn and soft drinks.	01:17:56
	Oh, and so the general information here is this item came to City Council because an Sup at Wyoming Beach Park requires council	01:18:06
	approval.	01:18:11
	This event is considered to be exempt under Sequa sections 1530115304, E 15308.	01:18:17
	And 15 Three to Three has the project uses existing facilities and will be a minor and temporary use of the land and will be	01:18:24
	restored.	01:18:28
	Once the event is over, appropriate conditions of approval will ensure that the protection of the environment is kept.	01:18:32
	I'll now turn it over to Taylor to go over the event details.	01:18:40
	Good evening everyone.	01:18:48
	So as you can see this proposed site map, this will be our.	01:18:50
	Our 4th summer doing these movies at the beach. It's very highly anticipated and enjoyed by people from not just our county but	01:18:54
	other counties that come and watch a movie under the stars at the beach.	01:19:00
	So.	01:19:06
	This map is not to scale obviously, but we have the movie screen.	01:19:08
	That is just to the right of the pier with viewers facing.	01:19:12
	Towards the ocean, the first landing with the.	01:19:16
	Concrete tables is where we have the popcorn station at.	01:19:20
	And.	01:19:23
	We offer free parking throughout the beach We have.	01:19:25
	Depending on the weather and the movie, we've had from 500 to 1200 viewers come to the movie, so it's definitely.	01:19:28
	A summer activity that people look forward to hearing.	01:19:37
	And the next slide is just some photos to kind of.	01:19:43
	Grass. There are rec attendants serving some popcorn. The line goes pretty far out, but.	01:19:46
	Everyone gets a couple bags of popcorn.	01:19:52
	And then the other images are just some.	01:19:55
	To capture the audience and size of.	01:19:58
	How many people typically come to these events at the beach? Whether it was a foggy, kind of misty day, there was still probably	01:20:01
	like 5 to 700 people at that one or a clear.	01:20:06
	Evening that.	01:20:11
	The bottom picture was.	01:20:12
	When we showed Moana and it was about 1200 people there, no parking was nearby. It was a packed house.	01:20:15
	Moving over to the fiscal impact, once again, this is a city sponsored event.	01:20:25
	And beach parking is being requested to be waived, so revenues.	01:20:30
	Usually collected for beach parking lots ABC and along Ocean View Dr. will not occur.	01:20:34
	Strategic plan consistency. This is on two optimal levels of service for residents and businesses to support and establish	01:20:42
	programs and events that create a strong sense of community, pride and connection to our history and our heritage.	01:20:48
	And also safe and secure.	01:20:54
	Beautiful Community Upgrade our beaches, parks, city owned facilities and structures to provide a better experience for our	01:20:56
	residents, employees, community commuters and.	01:21:01
	Visitors.	01:21:06
	The recommendation before you is to adopt A resolution that conditionally approves special use permit #1-25 and find the project	01:21:08
	to be characterically exempt from Sequel.	01:21:13
	This concludes this presentation.	01:21:20
	This Council have any questions or take comments later?	01:21:22
	Question. Question.	01:21:25
	So I've been to two of these and they're.	01:21:28
	Awesome, hands down.	01:21:31
	Just out of curiosity.	01:21:34
	Did we get any complaints?	01:21:36
	Not that I'm aware of, none that came specifically to me. Maybe the line for the popcorn was too long when we.	01:21:40
	Mitigated that by bringing in more popcorn machines and so.	01:21:48
	Everyone typically gets 2 to 3 packs of popcorn. We are able to bring out the temporary accessible mat that allows.	01:21:52
	People in.	01:22:01
	Maybe wheelchairs, strollers, wagons where they're pulling out their dinners and and blankets and stuff out farther into the sand	01:22:03
	without.	01:22:06
	Chugging through the sand so that that Matt does offer more accessibility and convenience for people to get out closer.	01:22:10
	So we've.	01:22:16
	Over the few years I've been here leading this event.	01:22:17
	Heard and made some accommodations to make it a better experience. So like no noise complaints at all?	01:22:21
	No, not in regards to this event.	01:22:29
	And then it's farther out.	01:22:32
	Yeah. Are the speakers like pointing away from like Surfside or, you know, towards?	01:22:34
	It doesn't show.	01:22:40
	How the?	01:22:41
	The.	01:22:43
	So if you go to the next slide with the pictures and you see.	01:22:44
	So.	01:22:49
	You see the screen and if you can see kind of the.	01:22:50
	2 black dots on this left and right side of the screen. That's the speakers and they're just like normal like DJ side speakers	01:22:53
	and.	01:22:57
	IT projects enough to where you can hear it.	01:23:01
	Back by where the popcorn stand is. But if you're in the parking lot, you can't really hear You can.	01:23:04
	Tell something's going on down there, but you the sound doesn't like travel that far so.	01:23:10
	It's far enough into the sand.	01:23:14
	I don't believe the housing community is affected. We that I'm aware of haven't had any complaints in the four years we've been	01:23:17
	having it out there from them on this so.	01:23:21
	I guess the answer is no, no noise complaints on this event.	01:23:28
	And if I may, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez.	01:23:32
	We have the community development department and Code compliance. We haven't received anything for this specific events type.	01:23:35
	Thank you.	01:23:42
	I have a question, Mayor.	01:23:43
	Did you mention what movies?	01:23:44
	We're going to be playing.	01:23:46
	I have those lists pending which first trying to get approved and then I will the recreation team will announce the the.	01:23:48
	The whole series because there's more nights beyond this just at the other parks that don't require the SCP so.	01:23:55
	The full list will be shared probably in April, May time.	01:24:01
	Any other questions?	01:24:05
	No, OK.	01:24:07
	So we'll now open the public hearing. The public hearing is now open for public input.	01:24:09
	And the time is 7:53.	01:24:14
	Are there any public comments regarding this item? No public comments. Thank you. We'll close the public hearing.	01:24:18
	Public input has concluded. I will now close the hearing. It is now.	01:24:24
	753 So we have before us a recommendation to adopt the resolution continuum.	01:24:29
	Conditionally approving a Special Use permit #1-25 for the 2025 movie in the park and find the project Special Use Permit 1.2 Dash	01:24:35
	25 to be categorically exempt from sequa and take such additional related action that may be desirable.	01:24:44
	May I get a motion and a second?	01:24:53
	So moved.	01:24:56
	2nd.	01:24:57
	Is there any discussion?	01:24:59
	Council member Mike this doesn't include Miranda Park.	01:25:02
	Or does it?	01:25:06
	No, these three nights are specifically at the beach. There will be a showing at Miranda Park and.	01:25:08
	Potentially, uh.	01:25:14
	The newly bubbling Springs park.	01:25:15
	Nice. Yeah, because I just wanted to make the comment that when you did it at Miranda Park.	01:25:17
	It's the noise. There really isn't any noise. You actually my house is very close.	01:25:23
	I can see the screen.	01:25:29
	In order to hear.	01:25:30
	You have to walk in close, closer and closer you get you can hear it better so.	01:25:32
	The noise is.	01:25:37
	Is is not an issue so I just wanted to make that comment and I really enjoyed having it in Miranda Park.	01:25:39
	Brightens up the neighborhood, so thank you.	01:25:45
	Great. Any other discussion?	01:25:48
	If not, Madam Clerk, can we take a vote, please?	01:25:50
	Councilmember Gama.	01:25:53
	Yes, Councilmember Hernandez.	01:25:55
	Aye, Councilmember Perez. Yes. Your Pro Tem Lopez. Yes. Mayor McQueen Lejeune.	01:25:57
	Yes, motion passes unanimously.	01:26:02
	Thank you.	01:26:04
	We'll move to item number 12.	01:26:05
	Adopt A resolution granting Special Use permit #225 to allow the City of Port Hueneme to host.	01:26:08
	The Wine Amy Beach Festival with ancillary live entertainment stages.	01:26:14
	A youth youth wrestling tournament, soccer event, food and vendor booth, and art and crafts area carnival.	01:26:18
	A carnival.	01:26:26
	Alcohol boost and find the event exempt from Sequa.	01:26:27
	Madam Clerk, do we have a proof of publication as required by law?	01:26:31
	And a complete file, a report of.	01:26:35
	Reporting exhibits.	01:26:37
	Yes, Madam Mayor.	01:26:38
	Thank you. Will staff please present the report.	01:26:39
	Yes. Moving on to the next item, this will once again be jointly presented with myself, Jose Coiled, Associate Planner with and	01:26:43
	Frank Montelongo.	01:26:48
	Who is part of the Police Department but also coordinates with the Wayne Amy Police Explorers?	01:26:54
	And he is active, as I am on the committee for this Wyoming Beach Festival.	01:26:59
	So once again the item is winning me Beach Festival Special Use permit 2-25.	01:27:05
	The request is to, by the direction of the City Council, to continue to host a public event known as the Wayne Beach Festival.	01:27:11
	This event will once again feature live entertainment, a youth wrestling tournament, food and vendor booths, and art and crafts	01:27:16
	area.	01:27:21
	Carnival and alcohol booths.	01:27:27
	The festival is to take place on Saturday, July 12th and Sunday, July 13th from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM.	01:27:29
	With approximately 15,000 patrons per day.	01:27:36
	General Information Once again this is brought to the council because of special use permit on being hosted at Wyoming Beach Park	01:27:40
	requires council approval along with the closure of Ocean View Drive.	01:27:47
	Once again, this is consistent. This is considered to be examined under sequa based on the fact that this is a temporary minor use	01:27:54
	of the land.	01:27:58
	And there's conditions of approval that will ensure the protection of the surrounding environment.	01:28:03
	I'll turn it over to Frank now.	01:28:09
	Good evening.	01:28:14
	So the festival layout, once again, we'll be using Ocean View Drive that will be the main entryway to the festival walkway.	01:28:14
	With our first a tent, information booth, our food and general retail stalls.	01:28:20
	Parking lot B will be used as our.	01:28:25
	Host live stage area as in years past with our mainstage.	01:28:27
	We'll have all the.	01:28:31
	Outside perimeter of a lot B with our food.	01:28:33
	Of food services with the tables in the middle and our beer booth.	01:28:36
	Ocean E Ocean View Drive in the parking Lot C will feature our Carnival area.	01:28:39
	With additional food vendors down in that area with the beer booth and our arts and crafts along the aisle of Ocean View Drive.	01:28:44
	For Winnie Me Beach will once again be hosting our youth wrestling tournament.	01:28:51
	And.	01:28:55
	Jose will touch on this later Copacabana soccer tournament as well during the festival.	01:28:56
	And then on Surfside Drive, it will be, it's gonna remain unchanged. We're gonna have the right of way of traffic. So First drive	01:29:01
	drive will not be impacted with the road closures.	01:29:05
	Frank, if I could just note there and actually it works well for this slide too.	01:29:10
	Just to reiterate that this is the new.	01:29:15
	Layout that we did for the first time last year with the goal of reducing the impact on.	01:29:18
	Neighborhood, the neighborhood and the residents nearby and reducing the amount of St. closures and all of those things.	01:29:23
	And just, I know we'll get into more detail, but.	01:29:30
	In light of the questions on the last item about complaints, I just want to highlight that with this new.	01:29:35
	Footprint last year.	01:29:41
	It was the first time that the Beach Fest received 0 complaints as well with this this.	01:29:42
	With this proposed site plan so.	01:29:48
	We are proposing.	01:29:51
	Operating it with that same.	01:29:53
	Site footprint to.	01:29:56
	Really make sure that it ties in with the residents in the neighborhoods and the in the community.	01:29:59
	I'll hand it back to Frank.	01:30:04
	Yeah, so like James mentioned, this is the layout you'll see down at the bottom of the beach is where we plan on hosting the	01:30:06
	wrestling tournament once again as last year.	01:30:09
	We're anticipating having a higher turn out this year, last year when we did it.	01:30:12
	It was at the beginning of the school year, September, so a lot of the wrestlers are either playing their.	01:30:16
	There are fall sports, football.	01:30:21
	And other sports, so they weren't able to participate. So being in the summers during the end of their freestyle wrestling season,	01:30:24
	so they'll be more availability for more wrestlers.	01:30:27
	The Copacabana will be on the opposite side of the pier.	01:30:31
	For their tournament on Saturday will be the head they'll be having their.	01:30:34
	Their event and then there'll be an additional slide with their layout.	01:30:39
	You'll see in the green the back lot see again is where our carnival area will be at and extends out to the.	01:30:41
	The roadway into Ocean View Dr. aligned with all of our informational booths, our arts and crafts and the purple tans are usually	01:30:47
	a reserved for our sponsors. All of our sponsors for the festival is where they have their booths and then the blue on top.	01:30:53
	Last year we had our head security with Viper security, we had the real guppies and then it was like our command post for our	01:30:59
	explorers with all the T-shirt sales and information for the.	01:31:04
	The goers and then you'll see the mainstage or the tables and then the outline with the tables and the food vendors.	01:31:08
	So for entertainment currently, right now we're working on.	01:31:16
	I'm finalizing our lineup for the event. We're waiting on availability. We're checking with all the different types of musicians	01:31:20
	and the boards discussing on who we're going to be going with this year. Once we have that available, be updated and posted on the	01:31:24
	Winning Beach Festival website.	01:31:28
	For live music will again be provided on the mainstage. We won't be having a stage in the back this year. We're going to utilize	01:31:33
	the space again for more.	01:31:36
	We're going to put seating tables back there for parents or for.	01:31:41
	Festival goers, we would sit down in the back because that's one thing we realized we didn't have last year. And we're going to	01:31:44
	leave space from to add additional rides in the back instead of the secondary stage, so all the music will be in Lot B.	01:31:50
	And then we're exploring the ideas again of once again having a Banda, classical rock, pop, R&B and Spanish rock. So you have a	01:31:55
	variety on both days for the community.	01:32:00
	And then we're waiting on confirmation. But again, once again, we want to include the high school marching bands for the Saturday	01:32:05
	of the opening of the Beach Festival. We last year we had Wynnie High School.	01:32:09
	Channel Islands and Oxford High, they did their all bands perform and they kind of had like a drum off.	01:32:14
	A little performance they did at the end, so.	01:32:18
	We're hoping to get all them to come back. We're just verifying since it is in the summer. We just got to make sure the students	01:32:20
	are available.	01:32:23
	And then this is the information for the wrestling tournament.	01:32:28
	So again, it'll be on July 12.	01:32:31
	Will be hosted by Beats the Street LA, the Oxnard chapter. They are a nonprofit organization that offers free wrestling for the	01:32:33
	youth in the area of Ventura County, so they charge no fee for their training, so they use it as a fundraiser here.	01:32:40
	At the beach, though, the $3 per athlete, which is a typical price for a wrestling tournament.	01:32:47
	Whether it's here in our county or up North and South.	01:32:52
	We're anticipating 80 to 100 athletes ages as small as five years to high school or adults could participate.	01:32:56
	All athletes must possess a active USA wrestling card in order to be able to compete because it includes their insurance.	01:33:02
	And if they don't have one, they'll be able to purchase a $10 one day memberships without where they're covered for the event.	01:33:08
	And again, this is just the way the outline of the ring is not your traditional wrestling match, just a pool noodle ring mat and	01:33:17
	they're not allowed to wrestle on the ground is really more of a.	01:33:21
	Of a.	01:33:25
	A takedown, they gotta they gotta take him down from a standing position and when they get him down, 3 takedowns is essentially a	01:33:27
	win for the it's accelerated for the event.	01:33:30
	All right, and as mentioned by Frank earlier, there will be another event at the beach at the same time. This will be the Beach	01:33:38
	Soccer Tournament on Saturday, July 12th, organized by Beach Soccer Promotions, LLC with free admission.	01:33:45
	So event guests can actually travel on outward. I'll have the site plan available in the next slide to show how the close	01:33:52
	proximity it is to the Wyoming Beach Festival.	01:33:57
	This type of beach soccer tournament was actually previously approved by City Council back in 2023 under Special Use Permit 2-23.	01:34:02
	And it was for a five year summer soccer series at Wanami Beach Park.	01:34:12
	To basically summarize what was approved, it is a.	01:34:16
	Tournament hosting 10 temporary soccer fields on the Beachy sand.	01:34:21
	Southwest of the pier with about 150 youth players. Total expected capacity between spectator staff and vendors is about 400	01:34:25
	persons at this event.	01:34:31
	And then the audience staff level is approximately 150 to 200 for spectator.	01:34:37
	And then ten adults for the hospitality and security aspect of running the administrative program along with referees, first aid	01:34:44
	personnel and whatnot on the field. But it is anticipated with a maximum of 400 persons depending on how many.	01:34:51
	Players sign up.	01:35:00
	Here, once again, it'll be on the northwest side of the pier, so it'll be completely on the other side, closer to Ventura Road and	01:35:03
	Surfside Drive.	01:35:08
	As you can see, there are the 10 fields that are replaced out there, and there is a small on the red there you'll see it's a small	01:35:13
	administrative trailer that pulls up and that basically helps them organize the event, set up the cones and whatnot.	01:35:20
	There's the Copacabana branding that the company uses to go ahead and advertise for this event.	01:35:27
	And once again, this was previously approved.	01:35:34
	And this was the day that they chose to go ahead and host this. We anticipate that the parking demand available both on Surfside	01:35:36
	Drive and Ventura Rd. along with all the open lots will be sufficient for both events happening at the same time.	01:35:42
	We'll turn it back over to Frank on to go over the security and parking plan.	01:35:50
	And just to touch really quick on Copacabana, I have been in contact with the coordinator. So they're on board having their event	01:35:54
	in conjunction with ours because they're able to offer additional activities for the parents as they're waiting for in between	01:35:58
	their games. So they kind of the festival.	01:36:02
	And they're going to be advertising our beach festival for us as well to all of their all their participants to know that it's a	01:36:07
	free event for the community and they go there.	01:36:10
	With their families after or in between games during the festival.	01:36:14
	So with security, the the festival is completely fenced off. We'll have our main entrance way. We have an emergency exit near the.	01:36:17
	The Alaska Memorial and then we have a 2 secondary emergency exits down in Lot C.	01:36:26
	That are marked and posted manned by our security company.	01:36:30
	All guests will be screened.	01:36:34
	By security before entering the festival, the Police Department will have staff to monitor the gate and screening areas as needed.	01:36:36
	Parking will be general parking for all event guests free of charge for the entire public.	01:36:42
	We're going to be using a lot a along Surfside Drive and Truro Rd. Market Street.	01:36:47
	And then last year we did have the port lot. They had allocated parking fronts as well and we included transportation from that	01:36:52
	lot to and from the main entrance of the festival.	01:36:56
	And then we'll have accessible parking in Lot A for a handicap and Surfside Drive once again will remain open for all circulation	01:37:01
	and for buses.	01:37:05
	As well.	01:37:08
	Once again this year, we're going to be having our.	01:37:11
	Youth Poster Contest. We're hoping to have a bigger turn out and participation this year. As you can see, these are all the	01:37:14
	posters that were submitted last year. The theme this year is Hello Summer.	01:37:19
	Prizes again is being sponsored by Lujan. Transportation will be $350.00 for each winner, which will come back to a council	01:37:24
	meeting at a later date to present the winners like last year.	01:37:28
	Will have two elementary for an upper or lower grade when junior high 1 high school winner this year for the pollster contest.	01:37:33
	So fiscal impact?	01:37:41
	Festival costs last year for the city was $35,000 and sending.	01:37:43
	In seed funding for the event, plus an additional $25,000 donation to the Please Explorers.	01:37:48
	For the event related services and the coordination for the event.	01:37:53
	The proposed changes for this year's festival and retroactively for 2024.	01:37:57
	Is to have the police explorers coordinate and manage the alcohol sales with the volunteers over 21 years of age.	01:38:02
	The police explorers to collect revenue from alcohol sales instead of receiving.	01:38:07
	The $25,000 from the city and the reason for the change?	01:38:12
	We determined that the city should not be involved in alcohol sales.	01:38:15
	And receiving the revenues from alcohol sales, so allowing the police exports to manage the alcohol selling. Their proper	01:38:19
	coordination help sets house offset the city's previous expenditure.	01:38:23
	When we pull the permit for the alcohol sales, it's under the Explorers nonprofit, so our alcohol safe handling certification, the	01:38:28
	insurance.	01:38:32
	And.	01:38:36
	Purchasing of the alcohol from the vendor, it has to be done under under a nonprofit. So like last year was done under all the	01:38:37
	under the police explorers.	01:38:41
	So that's the reason why for the change for this year.	01:38:46
	And then fiscal impact continued. City sponsored event, the parking revenue typically generated from the beach parking tournament.	01:38:51
	In general, visiting parking for all the lots will not be collected. That's one change from the soccer tournament from from.	01:38:57
	Typically when the Copacabana has it is since it is in conjunction with the beach festival. There won't be any revenues from the	01:39:04
	soccer tournament because it's free parking the that weekend for the entire room.	01:39:08
	Public The police maintenance and other service costs will be covered by the pre budgeted staff time but no additional expenses.	01:39:13
	The city.	01:39:16
	The we're hopeful that the festival is expected to achieve a similar financial results as last year, with the cost offsetting the	01:39:19
	business sponsorships, donations, vendor fees and beverage sales.	01:39:24
	The structure will mirror what we did last year.	01:39:30
	And hosting all the costs covered by the festival generator revenues.	01:39:32
	Moving on, strategic plan consistency, such as on three major pillars, optimum levels of service for residents and businesses.	01:39:39
	To support and establish programs and events that create a strong sense of community, pride and connection to our history and our	01:39:46
	heritage.	01:39:49
	Innovation and opportunity retain and maximize opportunities for local businesses as the backbone of our community.	01:39:53
	And finally, safe and secure and beautiful community. Upgrade our beaches, parks, city owned facilities and structures to provide	01:39:59
	a better experience for our residents employed.	01:40:03
	Employees, commuters and visitors.	01:40:07
	The recommendation before City Council now is to adopt resolution conditionally approving Special Use Permit 2-25 and to find the	01:40:12
	project to be categorically exempt from Sequel.	01:40:16
	That concludes this presentation. We're available for further questions.	01:40:21
	Have any questions, Council?	01:40:25
	Yes, with regards to the.	01:40:29
	Bands, entertainment, stage and all that.	01:40:32
	Is umm.	01:40:34
	Is there a headliner for each day or?	01:40:36
	Or would the headliner be in the middle of the day? Or is it programmed to be at the end of the day? Or have you even thought of	01:40:39
	it? We're working on it. Typically we have the headliner at the end of the day for both closing days. But I think we'll last year,	01:40:45
	I think the music we should ask for, any one of the bands could have been a headliner to close the event.	01:40:51
	Obviously everything's depending on our budget restraints on the type of.	01:40:57
	Of the bands that we could bring into the festival. So that's something that the committee is looking at to.	01:41:01
	To adjust and see how we're going to align the musicians through it throughout the day.	01:41:07
	So is.	01:41:10
	Midday.	01:41:11
	What's the most the best time slot for a band?	01:41:13
	Like a mainstream band that everyone likes. If I was a reference from last year, it kind of honestly depended on The Who was	01:41:18
	playing. Because what we noticed last year, for example, on Sunday we had a crowd in the morning for Santana and then we saw a	01:41:23
	crowd show us specifically for Twisted Gypsies.	01:41:27
	And then we saw a different crowd showing up once they knew the Banda was going to come on and like we saw the crowd that was	01:41:32
	there for Twisted just kind of went on. And then we saw a different crowd coming in for the.	01:41:37
	For the Banda, So I think it just depends on who's playing to try to see who's gonna be coming at what times.	01:41:43
	If I could just add there, because Frank and I talked about this and one of the things we're trying to do is.	01:41:49
	Have something for everyone, which is a challenge. Easier said than done.	01:41:54
	But we're looking this year to try to have a mix.	01:41:59
	Different types of music and also to kind of mix up the order where it's a little different from last year's order. It's not going	01:42:02
	to be the exact same order.	01:42:06
	So we're looking at.	01:42:11
	Sort of trying to make sure there's something for everyone and maybe the style of music that headlines one event might not	01:42:13
	headline the next event as an example, so.	01:42:17
	So we're working on that.	01:42:22
	Thank you, Mayor.	01:42:25
	And thank you, Mr. Montelongo and Mr. Coyote for your presentation. I have a few questions if the first one has to do with.	01:42:26
	The policy on service dogs I noticed last year.	01:42:34
	There are a lot of dogs.	01:42:38
	At the festival on both days.	01:42:40
	And they didn't all seem like service dogs. I was wondering what the.	01:42:42
	Screening processes, because it says that we have a screening process and no pets allowed. So I was just curious. So with the	01:42:46
	service dogs of an individual says it's a service dog, we don't have a way of editing whether it truly is or not. So we have to	01:42:52
	take it for word of mouth. So that's why. So if someone comes in with a small Chihuahua or Pitbull says my service dog.	01:42:58
	We have to take their word for it so.	01:43:05
	Luckily we had no incidences last year with the event, but as well something in the security was monitoring.	01:43:07
	And just actively knowing that we had we had dogs in the area.	01:43:12
	I think I saw somebody with three dogs, three large corrects there.	01:43:15
	All service dogs.	01:43:20
	I know we're adopting the special use permit, This is why we're here tonight, but I wondered if we're.	01:43:23
	Staff will be coming back with a budget.	01:43:31
	No. So we will be approving because we have $35,000 that the city is going to be.	01:43:34
	Providing a seed money, are we approving that? So the Council has already approved that when we.	01:43:39
	Council direction to move forward and so.	01:43:44
	Budget has been approved. The permit is being approved tonight and there's no.	01:43:47
	Planned future item.	01:43:51
	There's not another item returning to council. I don't recall seeing a budget.	01:43:53
	Do we not get to see the budget?	01:43:58
	We can send it to you, but I wouldn't recommend.	01:44:00
	Holding up the Beach Fest and scheduling another item to review it.	01:44:04
	Well, I would like the opportunity to discuss.	01:44:08
	Budget because I'm concerned.	01:44:11
	About the.	01:44:13
	City costs that we're not covering our city costs.	01:44:14
	And I'd like to know how we're.	01:44:18
	How we're monitoring them.	01:44:19
	And how we are.	01:44:22
	Covering.	01:44:24
	For them, because it does, the report does say.	01:44:25
	That.	01:44:27
	That the city does budget.	01:44:30
	For them, but I don't.	01:44:32
	Know how maybe we can talk about it on our one-on-one? Sure, yeah.	01:44:33
	Mayor Progen.	01:44:37
	Thank you for your presentation.	01:44:39
	I see that there's no soccer fees for the Copacabana.	01:44:41
	So how? How is that working? How are clubs invited?	01:44:48
	To this event.	01:44:52
	Yes, Mayor Pro Tem.	01:44:53
	So the other one functions as a for profit, if you will type.	01:44:55
	Facility. So they come in here asking for permission to use the beach and in an agreement they have to pay for the beach lots that	01:45:00
	they use. And then that's basically how that works out for us.	01:45:05
	It's a benefit for the city because they provide basic tourism and and that sort of thing.	01:45:11
	And another thing, they will charge an individual price, while they don't charge an admission price to spectate and be a viewer,	01:45:18
	they do charge for the children being a part of the tournament and that is basically market rate based on Copacabana.	01:45:25
	So we don't know what clubs are invited to this event.	01:45:33
	So typically the Copacabana is open. So if you go to Cal S soccer because it's a Cal style sanctioned.	01:45:37
	Soccer tournament though they're listed on the website so.	01:45:44
	They give discounts to teams that need to split up into multiple teams. They lower the cost for them because they know they got to	01:46:17
	split up their teams from their normal size.	01:46:21
	So and it's advertised for it like on our when we go out advertising the festival will also be advertising the Copacabana as well.	01:46:24
	And people within the soccer community know that these tournaments are out. So it just depends on what the each individual team	01:46:30
	for a club is registering for their tournament schedule for the summer.	01:46:36
	OK, so.	01:46:42
	The LCS.	01:46:43
	Promoting this specifically within their.	01:46:45
	Like they're collecting all the revenue from the beach festival completely. They have their own website. You go to Copacabana	01:46:48
	Beach Soccer and their websites there. I think they have three scheduled tournaments here in Winnemi or two. Are those ones coming	01:46:54
	up really soon? Then they have their mid-july 1 as well and the last one for the summer for for.	01:47:00
	Boys and girls yes. As boys and girls typically it's not Co Ed unless you're well Co Ed would be if you have a female player on a	01:47:07
	boys team but you'll have your female division than your male divisions will be your your teams for the event.	01:47:13
	All right. Next question.	01:47:19
	What I I went because I did go to the Beach Fest last year and I some of the.	01:47:22
	Some of the bands that were playing in stone, like they bring a crowd, correct?	01:47:28
	That Bruno Mars cover band was a hit.	01:47:32
	DJ Depeche Mode was good.	01:47:37
	So.	01:47:40
	My my plug is that was some good entertainment.	01:47:41
	That's all I have.	01:47:48
	Thank you. I had one more question.	01:47:49
	Yeah, so.	01:47:57
	Mr. City Manager, basically we're going to follow the model that we followed last year, correct?	01:47:59
	Yes. And I think last year for the first time in the.	01:48:04
	Beach Festival since I've been on City Council.	01:48:08
	Turn a profit.	01:48:11
	It broke even.	01:48:12
	It includes it didn't include city costs.	01:48:14
	I think it did.	01:48:18
	And we explained it last year. It's the $35,000 contribution in staff time for a committee. So that's the budget, right?	01:48:23
	OK, I.	01:48:29
	And.	01:48:31
	My next question.	01:48:33
	Is oh.	01:48:36
	So, umm.	01:48:37
	Will Copa.	01:48:39
	Cabana.	01:48:41
	Beach soccer.	01:48:42
	Because when they come for their.	01:48:45
	Three events in the summertime.	01:48:47
	They bring a lot of people.	01:48:49
	So is their footprint gonna be the same?	01:48:51
	As, say, last summer.	01:48:55
	Because they take up.	01:49:00
	All of BA.	01:49:02
	Surfside Drive, I mean, they bring a lot.	01:49:04
	A lot of people with them.	01:49:06
	Correct. So we anticipate having that overfill parking in the Surfside to Market Street area and the port.	01:49:08
	Lot as well as having the parking available there for their goers because they'll be closer to their event on the beach side.	01:49:14
	Right. And I imagine we strongly encourage them to go.	01:49:20
	Purchase her food in the beach festival because I know a lot of them.	01:49:23
	Go out and about to bring food back for their players and stuff like that correct and Copacabana and talking to them I'm working	01:49:26
	on a flyer So what they're going to do on their registration or e-mail blast is they're going to actually be disseminating our	01:49:32
	festival poster to them to all the registered participants and their acts again to put our information on their website as well	01:49:37
	that their their event for this fest this tournament is in conjunction with our free event to the beach so are they like super	01:49:42
	excited because.	01:49:47
	Well, let me ask you this way.	01:49:53
	Are they?	01:49:55
	Experiencing cost savings because of this.	01:49:56
	Joint effort.	01:50:00
	I think the only difference that with the event is the parking.	01:50:02
	Because though the the whole beach park area is free parking because of the beach festival.	01:50:05
	So all the soccer players will get so the families of the teams coming to participate in the soccer tournament instead of having	01:50:11
	to pay their $8.	01:50:15
	All day parking paths of the family to come wash their children, play soccer, they now get to come enjoy for free because parking	01:50:19
	is free that weekend, right? So it's the cost of the family. They don't have to.	01:50:23
	In court to come to do they pay other fees to be on Winning Me Beach?	01:50:28
	Though any other fee they pay is a registration for the tournament, so it'd be the parking fee and then the.	01:50:32
	Your the beach parking fee to park and then their entry to the tournament. Are we gonna adjust their registration fees since	01:50:36
	they're getting free parking? Are we gonna kind of kind of make it up in another way or they don't pay the city any other fees	01:50:41
	other than parking other than other than they paid for their permit initially?	01:50:46
	And which is already paid for so, so we won't have any.	01:50:51
	We don't have a way to increase any fees for them to offset.	01:50:55
	I think 1 positive though is that the.	01:50:59
	The port.	01:51:02
	Last year graciously provided parking.	01:51:03
	And we didn't really have enough people to use it.	01:51:07
	And so we talked with the port about the advantage of this year.	01:51:10
	If if they provide that parking that it'll actually be widely used and it'll they'll be able to.	01:51:14
	Were really advertised the appreciation to the port.	01:51:20
	So the soccer tournament.	01:51:23
	Although we lose the.	01:51:26
	The parking revenue from their regular event.	01:51:28
	It actually will allow us to better use our resources for the Beach Fest event.	01:51:31
	And then yes, the hope is that.	01:51:36
	We're offsetting that cost by having all of those families join the beach fest and shop and eat and support the beach vest.	01:51:38
	Yeah, we've always, I've always interacted with Copa.	01:51:46
	A lot and during beach cleanup and stuff, and they do a magnificent job of cleaning up after themselves.	01:51:50
	However, the trash cans are usually overflowing, and it does.	01:51:57
	Necessitate.	01:52:01
	Staff time on the beach to remove all the trash.	01:52:02
	So we can work on allocating additional trash hands in that area then if that's a.	01:52:05
	The area of that, they need more trash cans for that area.	01:52:09
	That since we will have city staff there.	01:52:12
	Managing all the trash for the festival as well.	01:52:14
	Yeah. So that does that's a really good trade off because they're gonna.	01:52:17
	You're going to be out there anyways.	01:52:21
	OK, great, Councilmember.	01:52:22
	Hernandez, I'm going to pass on my question. We've spent enough time on this item. OK, Councilmember Perez?	01:52:25
	You said there's gonna be about 15,000 people. Are you actually counting? I know in years past they approximated how many people	01:52:31
	come in, but they weren't really.	01:52:34
	Keeping a tally? Are you actually counting your plan? We plan on getting an actual count this year so we have true numbers.	01:52:38
	Thank you. Great. Any other questions?	01:52:45
	If not.	01:52:47
	Do we have any public comments? Oh, let me.	01:52:49
	Sorry, umm.	01:52:51
	I'm now going to open the public hearing. The public hearing is now open the public input at.	01:52:52
	8/22.	01:52:58
	Are there any public comments regarding this item?	01:53:00
	Yes, we have one public comment from Dulce Satterfield.	01:53:02
	Good evening again and.	01:53:18
	Let's remember following public.	01:53:19
	Hearing there's consider the evidence is one of the follow up steps.	01:53:23
	So this is a hearing with a city run event. After a years long pause, the events grown louder and more ambitious.	01:53:28
	It seems that those doing the planning and.	01:53:35
	Analysis and here to.	01:53:38
	Make motions and vote.	01:53:40
	Can't be trusted to recognize.	01:53:42
	The proximity of hundreds of multifamily households.	01:53:45
	The go to stance seems to be to deem these.	01:53:49
	Condo homes as a noise pollution dumping ground.	01:53:51
	Tonight I heard about peace officers with respectful, compassionate approach.	01:53:55
	Why not some respectful, compassionate?	01:54:01
	Approach with the high density zone.	01:54:04
	Didn't hear mention of that.	01:54:07
	In the presentation.	01:54:09
	A mass murderer.	01:54:11
	Said that he.	01:54:13
	Wouldn't see people in the periphery of his.	01:54:15
	Target area.	01:54:19
	And likewise all of you when you're looking at these site maps, you see vague shapes.	01:54:20
	Around your footprint of an event and not thinking about.	01:54:26
	People living and breathing there, real people.	01:54:31
	Households.	01:54:35
	So we surf ciders.	01:54:36
	I could hide my ears, but we're not aliens. We can't transform them.	01:54:39
	And.	01:54:44
	We deserve the same safeguarding that the medically vetted standards in Government code have.	01:54:45
	For sound levels.	01:54:51
	Those standards.	01:54:53
	Inform our general plan and our municipal standards. Standards exist for a reason.	01:54:55
	Not umm.	01:55:00
	To be used only with favored populations.	01:55:01
	Now.	01:55:05
	Umm, last year.	01:55:06
	Van Clausen Associates revealed the city exceeds the well known standards.	01:55:10
	But the city cowers.	01:55:14
	Behind an exemption blurb in the Munich Code.	01:55:16
	And the Inception is not an end of story.	01:55:19
	I'm not here for legal lingo wordsmithing.	01:55:24
	But in the Munich code. But remember, respectful and compassionate. You seem to want that in other parts of your affairs.	01:55:28
	Do the homeless deserve that approach more than the multifamily households?	01:55:35
	At the periphery of your event.	01:55:40
	I asked leadership here and now. Consider the inhumanity.	01:55:43
	To the folks in the high density zone.	01:55:47
	And if.	01:55:50
	If our lives and health don't matter, that seems sad and ridiculous. I'm running short on time and I'm not going to do the deets	01:55:53
	about the.	01:55:57
	Sad and ridiculous, but.	01:56:00
	But I do want you to know the noise study is ongoing.	01:56:02
	And last year's study was a preliminary.	01:56:05
	If I can just respond.	01:56:15
	A bit miss settle field.	01:56:18
	You know that I've replied to you about the noise ordinance comments, and I've also been in communication with you about the.	01:56:20
	Beach festival event.	01:56:27
	We noted to start the presentation that the.	01:56:30
	Beach Festival is the.	01:56:33
	New lower impact.	01:56:36
	Footprint that we implemented last year, that we continue to implement. So I just want to note that I have replied to you.	01:56:38
	With information about.	01:56:45
	The noise ordinance and how permits.	01:56:46
	Work within those noise ordinances.	01:56:49
	And also that we have communicated about.	01:56:51
	Your concerns with prior beach vests and my understanding.	01:56:54
	Was that you had commented that last year's Beach Fest was much improved so.	01:56:58
	If that's not your opinion at this point then you and I can follow up but.	01:57:02
	I'm our staff is taking.	01:57:07
	All of these issues, seriously, we've put.	01:57:11
	Real effort into improving the situation.	01:57:14
	If the request is just to not hold the beach vest, I don't think that's fair to the community, but that's.	01:57:17
	That may be the request of one person, but I would recommend approving the beach vest permit at this time.	01:57:23
	Thank you.	01:57:30
	And there are no more comments.	01:57:31
	Great. Thank you. So the public input has concluded. I will now close the public hearing, the time being 8/26.	01:57:34
	And we'll have.	01:57:41
	We have before us the recommendation to adopt the resolution conditionally approving the.	01:57:44
	Special Use permit to find the project to be categorically exempt from SEQUA and take such additional related action that may be	01:57:49
	desired. Is there a first?	01:57:53
	A motion and a second.	01:57:58
	Move to approve.	01:58:00
	2nd.	01:58:02
	Great. Any discussion?	01:58:03
	If there are no discussion.	01:58:07
	Clerk, can you take a vote?	01:58:10
	Councilmember Gama.	01:58:11
	Yes.	01:58:13
	Councilmember Hernandez, Yes.	01:58:14
	Councilmember Perez Yes, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez.	01:58:16
	Yes, and Mayor McQueen Leon.	01:58:21
	Yes, motion passes unanimously.	01:58:23
	Thank you.	01:58:26
	We'll now move to the business items.	01:58:27
	Item number 13.	01:58:37
	The 2024 annual general plan and housing progress report.	01:58:39
	Will staff please present the report?	01:58:45
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, members of the council, staff and audience, Tony Stewart, Community and Economic Development	01:58:50
	Director.	01:58:54
	This is a short presentation. It's one that we're required to.	01:58:58
	Give to the City Council every year.	01:59:02
	And it's a report on the progress made towards meeting our general plan goals, particularly with regard to the housing element.	01:59:05
	And it also provides an annual report on the housing successor agency.	01:59:13
	And then?	01:59:18
	By April 1st of each year, we have to report.	01:59:20
	The bindings.	01:59:24
	To the States Department of Housing and Community Development or HDD.	01:59:26
	And the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation used to be known as OPR, but now it's not that much longer. Name to	01:59:31
	it.	01:59:34
	And this by the way, will be the last of the reports under this five year reporting period. And next year will be possibly an	01:59:39
	entirely new type of report, but this one's pretty much the one that you hear.	01:59:45
	Every year.	01:59:51
	And as a reminder, we primarily are reporting on the housing element here, which was officially certified by HCD back in October	01:59:53
	of 2022.	01:59:58
	And a refresher for everyone is that the state, through the housing element process, mandates what they call the regional housing	02:00:03
	needs.	02:00:08
	Allocation and for the city of Port Hueneme, it's 125 new units that would need to be built.	02:00:12
	By well planned for by 2029, they don't actually have to be built.	02:00:18
	At least not with this cycle. But HCD keeps making things tougher, so we'll see what happens with the next cycle.	02:00:24
	But for this one at least.	02:00:30
	We are required to plan for 21 extremely or very low income units, 16 low income.	02:00:32
	18 moderate income and 65 above moderate income which would be like market rate.	02:00:38
	And the income levels are described by the federal.	02:00:44
	Housing and Urban Development Department, or HUD.	02:00:49
	And then they are broken down by state and by county. So we of course would reply with or are required to meet Ventura counties	02:00:52
	requirements.	02:00:57
	And we are actually well underway to meet our arena in a couple of the categories. We have 16 Adus which do count towards those	02:01:02
	numbers.	02:01:08
	That were permitted last year and seven additional were completed.	02:01:14
	We do actually have 13 more in plan check right now.	02:01:18
	And so during the current cycle, which we started reporting on back in 21.	02:01:22
	Through today we have a 19 low income units, a total of the 16 that were required. So it means we're actually 3 above.	02:01:27
	Three over, so we don't actually need to.	02:01:35
	Plan for anymore, but it's a good idea that we do just given the market.	02:01:37
	And then we have 20 above moderate income units. Now we do still need to meet our extremely low, very low income requirements as	02:01:41
	well as some of the above moderate and moderate income requirements.	02:01:47
	So our housing element that was approved by HGD has 21 programs within it.	02:01:54
	And I'm happy to report that with all of the rezoning work that we all did a couple months back.	02:02:00
	We have now met all of our programs. They're all either in progress or they've been completed.	02:02:06
	Point SO.	02:02:13
	That's great news for us and it's good to report back to HD that we are not in out of compliance with our housing element at this	02:02:14
	point, which is always something that they are looking at.	02:02:19
	So with regard to the report itself, I'm not going to go into a whole lot of details. As you know in your packet there, there,	02:02:26
	there is quite a bit of it.	02:02:29
	Appendix. They describes our compliance with the various housing successor agency expenditures and production requirements.	02:02:33
	And because we've dissolved the successor agency back in May 17th of 2023.	02:02:42
	Most of those numbers are just.	02:02:49
	They'll continue to wind down basically with the activities, but the numbers themselves don't differ a year over year very much	02:02:53
	anymore.	02:02:56
	And so similar to last year 127,000.	02:03:02
	$488 in the asset fund was spent on administrative costs, which is actually under the amount that we're allowed to spend.	02:03:08
	The balance is a little over 5.2 million, of which 4.55 million is cash, which is equity and assets, including the properties that	02:03:16
	the city owns.	02:03:22
	And the fund may not accumulate excess surplus and the report, the numbers that were in the report and audited shows that it has	02:03:28
	not exceeded that. So we're in good standing there.	02:03:35
	And so that basically is my presentation. The big difference between last year and this year really is the report on the fact that	02:03:43
	all 21 of those programs have now been complied with.	02:03:49
	Thank you.	02:03:55
	Thank you.	02:03:56
	Start with Mayor Pro Tem.	02:03:56
	So my understanding is.	02:03:59
	The housing requirements from California are RHNA.	02:04:03
	I think that's the acronym.	02:04:08
	If we, you know, if we can't get builders to build.	02:04:11
	Did nothing. Nothing happens, right?	02:04:17
	Correct. So as I mentioned, we have to plan for them which we've done with all with the general plan itself, the housing element	02:04:19
	that was approved and then all of the rezoning that we just did. So we are in good standing with planning for them.	02:04:25
	So we set up the groundwork. But you are correct, we can't force a developer to come in and build something.	02:04:31
	That said though, with the new tools that we put into place, so to speak.	02:04:37
	We've made ourselves more marketable to potential developers. No Has anyone?	02:04:42
	Contacted.	02:04:48
	The city just.	02:04:49
	To maybe you don't talk about.	02:04:51
	Possible developments and what website?	02:04:53
	We've got some. We've got a couple folks that are interested in several of our sites. A Habitat for Humanity in particular is	02:04:56
	interested in our Pleasant Valley sites, which is what we were hoping that they would be.	02:05:01
	We just actually got the appraisal back, so I'll be meeting with the city manager about that within the next couple of days.	02:05:08
	And then presenting that to Habitat and hopefully moving forward with that. And so that should get us some additional good numbers	02:05:14
	and good development of those city owned sites there along Pleasant Valley.	02:05:20
	So last question.	02:05:26
	Since we've met the low income requirements for A to use.	02:05:28
	We're not rejecting.	02:05:33
	Any ad use anymore, correct? I mean, we're not allowed to reject 80, correct? Just want to make sure that yes, no one's coming in	02:05:35
	and we're just.	02:05:39
	Say no.	02:05:43
	If they come in and that they meet the the building code requirements, they're processed.	02:05:45
	Thank you.	02:05:49
	When it comes to Habitat for Humanity.	02:05:55
	I wish I could ask a question when you're going through your.	02:05:58
	PowerPoint, but you had a slide.	02:06:02
	Says extremely low, moderate.	02:06:04
	Listen to that wind.	02:06:10
	There we go. So where does does a habitat fall into moderate income?	02:06:12
	No, they're actually generally low income.	02:06:17
	So, but they can also fall into the extremely or very low, but they generally try to be within the low income.	02:06:21
	And so if we were successful in.	02:06:28
	Work with Darcy Taylor and Habitat.	02:06:31
	How many units would we be able to?	02:06:34
	Satisfy umm.	02:06:37
	In that Pleasant Valley, San Pedro area.	02:06:39
	Well, that's, that's a good question. We're thinking at least based on the appraisal somewhere between 15 to 19, but it really	02:06:43
	depends upon.	02:06:47
	How habitat will layout the? Would we approach habitat like going with the same?	02:06:52
	Genre because it's would we go with the same design?	02:06:58
	Because that would relieve.	02:07:02
	Architectural costs and stuff like that. Or would it just be?	02:07:05
	A whole new project.	02:07:09
	They've come to us with a few different proposals, but we're looking at something similar to what was produced over off of.	02:07:12
	San Pedro, which is the town home.	02:07:21
	Concept. Yeah, I would.	02:07:23
	I just think they're those are.	02:07:25
	Probably one of the best habitat.	02:07:28
	Developments I've seen.	02:07:30
	And those really look good. Those will come back to council we're working on. It would bring them back.	02:07:32
	My recommendation would be not to go too far into that topic on this item because it's not agenda as does that project, but.	02:07:37
	But when we bring it back to the council, we'll have an opportunity to go through all of those, all of those.	02:07:45
	Options.	02:07:52
	So when we look at the numbers though.	02:07:53
	Do we start checking off boxes like OK?	02:07:56
	X company. X development.	02:08:01
	I mean, do how do we how do we approach the?	02:08:03
	Satisfying these 4 categories, yeah, we track all of the numbers and we have to provide the annual report. So we track those and	02:08:07
	we provide an annual report to the state each year.	02:08:12
	So that's part of what we're doing tonight with this.	02:08:18
	Last question, have we got any above moderate income developments yet?	02:08:21
	Those would be basically the market rate. And so because we are no longer allowed by this state for instance, to consider our Adus	02:08:27
	going forward as low income.	02:08:33
	We considered them all to be above moderate, for instance.	02:08:38
	Great. Thank you. Any other questions?	02:08:44
	Do we have any public comments?	02:08:47
	No public comments. Great. Thank you.	02:08:49
	So we have before us a recommendation to receive the information and direct staff to submit an annual report to the California	02:08:51
	Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation.	02:08:57
	May I have a motion and a second?	02:09:03
	Move to approve.	02:09:06
	Second, great. Is there any discussion?	02:09:08
	Madam Clerk, can we have?	02:09:13
	All in favor.	02:09:15
	Aye, all opposed.	02:09:16
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:09:18
	Great. Thank you, Mr. Stewart.	02:09:21
	We're going to move to #14 item number 14 Utility Box Beautification Project details.	02:09:23
	Will staff please?	02:09:30
	Present the report once you get up to the table.	02:09:31
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council members, members of the public.	02:09:44
	So.	02:09:48
	Item 14.	02:09:50
	Is a follow up to discussion.	02:09:53
	And an item that was.	02:09:55
	Discussed at the February 18th, 2025 meeting.	02:09:57
	At that time, Council considered.	02:10:01
	Reaches requests to approve a utility box beautification project.	02:10:03
	Council approved the request, which included the use of up to 25 hours of staff time and the waiver of any fees associated with	02:10:07
	city permits.	02:10:11
	But requested that a map of the proposed locations.	02:10:15
	And additional information about artistic themes.	02:10:19
	Return to Council for their consideration.	02:10:21
	Subsequent to that meeting, staff communicated with REACH representatives.	02:10:25
	To obtain that information.	02:10:28
	That information is included in the staff report and summarized here in this presentation.	02:10:31
	The project proposes excuse me, to beautify.	02:10:36
	A total of 8 utility boxes in the city.	02:10:39
	And Reached Reach has identified 4 themes Military Chumash.	02:10:42
	Port and nature.	02:10:47
	And is proposing that each theme would be applied to two of the.	02:10:48
	Utility boxes.	02:10:53
	The project map illustrates the proposed location for the boxes.	02:10:56
	And Reach has indicated that the location of each box is connected to the theme proposed for that location.	02:11:01
	For example, the box that will highlight the Bard family.	02:11:07
	And its role in founding the port is located.	02:11:10
	Along Bard Rd.	02:11:13
	And the box highlighting the importance of the CBS.	02:11:15
	Is located adjacent to the CB Museum.	02:11:18
	So once again this is provided in response to councils request for a project map and additional information about the artistic	02:11:25
	themes associated with the project.	02:11:30
	It's recommended that the Council receive this information. Consider it.	02:11:35
	And provide whatever direction it deems appropriate.	02:11:39
	To reach.	02:11:42
	If I can add just one comment, if you could go back one slide.	02:11:44
	So we want to thank both REACH and the Council for bearing with us, because this is a new.	02:11:49
	Type of project I think first of its kind for here in port 1 E me and so we're still trying to figure it out and.	02:11:56
	When we had come to the Council.	02:12:02
	Previously.	02:12:05
	Sort of talked about, you know?	02:12:06
	Is there any further review of this?	02:12:08
	And I think Reach talked about.	02:12:11
	The one concern they have is really not getting into a situation.	02:12:13
	Because they're going to have a limited budget where the city is asking for revisions or refinement to the art and and.	02:12:16
	That having a cost to it.	02:12:23
	And so we had proposed the idea of.	02:12:25
	Providing a map with the locations in the theme which which we received and we appreciate that from Reach.	02:12:28
	I think looking.	02:12:36
	At this and really thinking through next steps.	02:12:38
	I do recommend that the Council.	02:12:42
	Consider tonight giving the approval or any modifications to this site map.	02:12:46
	And, umm.	02:12:51
	And moving forward with that.	02:12:52
	But with one.	02:12:54
	Requirement. Umm.	02:12:56
	Which is.	02:12:57
	I do think.	02:12:58
	Looking at this, one of our roles sometimes is to look for things that could be potentially.	02:13:00
	Controversial, or that, you know, that the City Council should get eyes on before moving forward.	02:13:05
	And so we do recommend or I'll say I recommend that.	02:13:11
	The council asked for one.	02:13:15
	Final round of approval.	02:13:18
	That the.	02:13:21
	Reach as they develop each.	02:13:23
	You know, they're eight pieces that they bring a.	02:13:25
	Rendering of those eight to the Council.	02:13:30
	And I think the the compromise we're asking for and that we're recommending is.	02:13:33
	Knowing our recommendations that the Council know that it's essentially a thumbs up or a thumbs down at that point for each of	02:13:38
	those.	02:13:41
	But knowing that reach does not have the resources to keep.	02:13:44
	Making revisions.	02:13:48
	So we think that would be sort of a reasonable approach.	02:13:49
	Everybody.	02:13:53
	You know compromise is often when both parties are not.	02:13:55
	Exactly happy with it, but in this case I think.	02:14:00
	The city's giving some leeway to get this project going, but then Reach also gives the city one more chance just to say yes or no.	02:14:03
	So we do recommend.	02:14:11
	That, umm.	02:14:14
	Like I said, we we apologize for.	02:14:15
	Sort of the process because being a new process.	02:14:18
	Sort of figuring it out and trying to.	02:14:22
	Find a way to make it work for everybody, but we do recommend that final approval.	02:14:24
	Yeah. Just quick question. So is it the intent to?	02:14:28
	That reach will submit all 8.	02:14:33
	At the same time.	02:14:35
	Or will we be looking at them one at a time as their?	02:14:37
	Complete. My recommendation would be that they come back one time with all 8.	02:14:40
	That it's better for agenda management, also easier for them. They don't have to come sit through eight more meetings.	02:14:44
	So that would be our recommendation obviously if.	02:14:50
	If something happens where they got 4 done and they you know, was going to be a pause before the next 4 or something, we could	02:14:53
	talk to them about that, but we'd recommend just having one item where they ate.	02:14:57
	Renderings come back knowing that.	02:15:03
	What we're approving tonight is the location and the theme for each of these.	02:15:05
	Yes, let's go with Council Member Perez and then we'll go to.	02:15:08
	Yes, I would also encourage and recommend that when they're making their.	02:15:14
	The artwork for this that they're talking to the appropriate parties.	02:15:20
	Or experts, for instance Chumash.	02:15:24
	Talk to the appropriate Chumash tribal people in the area.	02:15:26
	And get their.	02:15:30
	Buy in on whatever art is.	02:15:32
	Yeah. And that's sort of why we had as we took a look at it, we were thinking we really need like that one more approval is.	02:15:35
	We know.	02:15:42
	That themes with some of these groups there might be.	02:15:43
	Other people who want to weigh in or the public or other stakeholders, so we can encourage them as part of that to talk to, for	02:15:49
	example, the military, you know, the base about potentially the military.	02:15:54
	Themed one or the VFW or?	02:16:00
	That you mash about the Chumash theme.	02:16:03
	So yes, Councilmember, that's exactly where I was going, and I would even take it one step further.	02:16:04
	I would suggest.	02:16:12
	That we.	02:16:13
	Contact the tribal leaders and say.	02:16:15
	What would you like to see expressed?	02:16:18
	On our boxes, give them.	02:16:20
	Give them the.	02:16:23
	And same thing with the Seabees, the Bard family.	02:16:24
	Education. I imagine we could go to the Ventura County Office of Education and ask them.	02:16:27
	What would you like to see on there and that and that way?	02:16:32
	You know, at least we give them the control because obviously if we.	02:16:37
	Through certain protocols I know that the Chumash have.	02:16:42
	In artwork depicting their culture.	02:16:46
	And they should be the ones dictating.	02:16:49
	What artwork is going to go?	02:16:51
	And then like.	02:16:56
	For Creek and nature and I just feel like maybe we could get a little surf.	02:16:57
	Commun.	02:17:02
	Surf surfer somewhere.	02:17:04
	But I see the beaches doesn't have any.	02:17:07
	Boxes, but she's right there.	02:17:10
	#7 #7 OK.	02:17:12
	That's way away from the beach, but.	02:17:15
	Anyway, so I think.	02:17:17
	I think we should encourage REACH to reach out to representatives of these.	02:17:20
	The most knowledgeable representative.	02:17:26
	Representatives of each of these themes and ask them.	02:17:29
	What they would like to see?	02:17:32
	Any other?	02:17:38
	Question Councilmember Hernandez.	02:17:38
	Is this comment or question this questions?	02:17:41
	So, Mr. City Manager, did you have this discussion already with reach about?	02:17:43
	Making this recommendation no.	02:17:49
	Because I.	02:17:52
	Do we know if they're going to be using?	02:17:53
	Different artists on different boxes. Are they just using one artist because.	02:17:56
	Coming up with eight renderings all at once, or even 4 all at once, might not.	02:18:00
	Accommodate their.	02:18:06
	Approach.	02:18:08
	If they're going to be, especially if they're using different artists.	02:18:09
	So I think we do have some breach representatives today, so.	02:18:13
	Come on up to the mic.	02:18:20
	Yeah.	02:18:22
	Hello.	02:18:34
	So I can give you a couple of answers. First of all, we are going to go to Aldi's.	02:18:36
	Different organizations.	02:18:41
	We're not going to do what the artist is going to go to it.	02:18:43
	Whoever we choose to do the arting they're going to have, they're going to have the conversation and come back to us.	02:18:45
	So that was our always.	02:18:51
	In the plans.	02:18:54
	What was the question again? What was the original question? 01 Artist?	02:18:56
	We don't know.	02:19:01
	That's a good question.	02:19:02
	We don't know that. I know we have a couple that we're looking at.	02:19:03
	A part of the problem is their availability.	02:19:07
	We don't want to do it like tomorrow, we don't want to do when it's raining. We want to do it in the summer where we know the	02:19:10
	stuff is going to dry properly.	02:19:13
	So that.	02:19:17
	Been decided yet? OK.	02:19:19
	My question was.	02:19:21
	Is this recommendation in alignment with your plans?	02:19:23
	For painting all 8.	02:19:27
	Electrical boxes because you might have Will you have more than one artist? Do you plan on doing all?	02:19:31
	Eight at once. Well, even 4 at once.	02:19:37
	8 is pretty ambitious.	02:19:40
	Renderings for our approval seems I don't know.	02:19:43
	That it's realistic yeah 8 seems to be a little bit ambitious rich you gotta.	02:19:46
	Oh, here comes now. You're in trouble. Rich is coming.	02:19:52
	Yeah. Kind of like our overall approach is that we're going to be.	02:19:56
	Umm going out and marketing to get various different.	02:20:00
	Proposals from various different artists. We want to kind of review the artists.	02:20:08
	To make sure that you know they're.	02:20:12
	They're skilled that they're skilled not only in art, artistry, but also working with the community because each one of these is	02:20:14
	going to be tied in.	02:20:18
	Say with the Chumash community or the the military community. So we want that. We want a good buy in on both parts.	02:20:22
	I don't.	02:20:30
	They, I don't look that we're going to be doing all 8 at once. So like on the month of May, you're going to see.	02:20:32
	Eight of them out there, I think it's.	02:20:38
	It would be ideal.	02:20:41
	But I think the approach of perhaps maybe taking four at a time.	02:20:42
	Getting that.	02:20:47
	Solidly down as far as like the artwork, working with the community, we're looking trying to also we're looking to, you know, get,	02:20:48
	you know, the, the youth involved in and stuff. So like when we're looking out to picking those artists.	02:20:54
	It may be.	02:21:00
	A local junior college or college artists that we work with because they're really trying to make this a very organic community	02:21:02
	thing we're not trying to do.	02:21:06
	While we wanted to be professional looking and stuff like that, we really want to involve the community so that everybody can feel	02:21:11
	proud and happy about it.	02:21:15
	Very non controversial.	02:21:19
	That type of a thing.	02:21:21
	And I think one of the points that you know.	02:21:23
	That you know I.	02:21:26
	Want to make special note of is the controversial?	02:21:28
	Theme. We want there's something.	02:21:32
	Again, that everybody can kind of buy into that. It doesn't make it.	02:21:35
	There's not negative reactions and stuff like that. So I mean, that's kind of our goal right now.	02:21:40
	So I guess my question is, are you going to be able to come back to City Council has the city manager as?	02:21:46
	And show us rendering so we give you the thumbs up and thumbs down on what goes on.	02:21:53
	The utility boxes, I think we'll be able to come back and give you renderings. I don't think we're going to be able to give you 8	02:21:58
	at one shot.	02:22:02
	OK.	02:22:06
	About about not doing 8 at one shot or what?	02:22:09
	Oh, oh, sure, Because, you know, the council is also the community and I want everybody to buy in and I'm looking at you're gonna	02:22:15
	be looking at your.	02:22:19
	Talking to your constituents to get, you know some kind of information and, and we.	02:22:24
	We welcome your input. Frankly, as far as getting to this process, this is not something that's pre designed or pre.	02:22:29
	Ordained that we're going to be doing this. In this we have some basic themes.	02:22:36
	You know, we may find as we go into the community that may some particular group has.	02:22:42
	A whole new.	02:22:48
	Theme that we hadn't really thought of.	02:22:50
	And absolutely we want to bring it back to the console because you want this to be a win, win process.	02:22:52
	Thank you.	02:22:58
	Are you going to?	02:23:01
	Are you going to?	02:23:03
	Contact the high school art departments and work. Yes, we're going to be a high school, the college, junior colleges. Yeah.	02:23:05
	Because, you know.	02:23:09
	I think there may be some very aspiring artists in there that.	02:23:13
	You know this may be.	02:23:18
	Their first step and their careers at the museum over there at Channel Islands every year I think the port sponsors it the art	02:23:21
	contest and there's phenomenal work there so I think there's great talent at the high school when we look at you know this City	02:23:28
	Council, there's some phenomenal artists younger kids that you know probably and as you know we we.	02:23:35
	Again, we look to see to get all of these people involved.	02:23:42
	And we and we're looking for your.	02:23:46
	Your recommendations too, like if you if you know of an artist that you think would this would be.	02:23:50
	A good.	02:23:56
	Fit for them.	02:23:57
	Pass them over to us.	02:23:59
	I know, like I know like when I've been involved in doing these things in other communities, there's like a lot of different	02:24:02
	factors.	02:24:05
	And creating the artists, obviously they have the skills.	02:24:08
	Also their ability to like work with the.	02:24:11
	You know, in a successful manner. So there's a lot of different.	02:24:14
	Aspects to it.	02:24:18
	To make it a good fit.	02:24:19
	Great. Thank you.	02:24:22
	Any other questions?	02:24:23
	Madam Clerk, do we have any public comments?	02:24:25
	No public comments.	02:24:29
	Great. Thank you. So we, we have before us the recommendation, umm.	02:24:30
	And I think what we're doing tonight is we're approving this map.	02:24:35
	And then?	02:24:40
	Along with the added recommendation.	02:24:41
	That, umm.	02:24:44
	Reach brings back the renderings and maybe sets A4.	02:24:45
	For us to review with just a thumbs up. A thumbs down, not a.	02:24:51
	Make changes.	02:24:55
	OK. So that is the motion is there, I mean that is the recommendation, is there a motion and 2nd so moved.	02:24:56
	Second, great. Thank you. Any discussion?	02:25:03
	Think we've had it already?	02:25:06
	All right, great. Madam Clerk, please take a vote.	02:25:08
	All in favor, aye?	02:25:10
	All.	02:25:12
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:25:13
	Great. Thank you. We're going to move to our final agenda item, Channel Islands Harbor dredging project update.	02:25:15
	Will staff please?	02:25:22
	Present the report.	02:25:24
	Yes. And we have, it's a very simple report. I know we've talked about it a lot in bits and pieces, but we're trying to.	02:25:25
	Kind of.	02:25:32
	Just give a simple overview of the.	02:25:34
	Dredging project and where we currently stand and and what the next steps are.	02:25:38
	And so just as some background reminder, because we use the word dredge all the time and we know it, but I know sometimes when	02:25:42
	we're talking to.	02:25:47
	People. Umm.	02:25:51
	Who aren't familiar?	02:25:53
	Not as clear what it is so.	02:25:55
	The By the dredge project we are referring to the For us, the critical portion is the replenishment of sand at Winami Beach.	02:25:58
	It's a crucial project for Wyoming Beach Nourishment, Channel Islands Harbor operations for the Port of Winemes operations and the	02:26:07
	Naval Base Ventura Counties operations.	02:26:12
	And so.	02:26:17
	Critical for for all.	02:26:18
	All of the.	02:26:20
	Those agencies within our.	02:26:22
	Community.	02:26:25
	So people may know and may have noticed that the dredge was ongoing through about February 28th.	02:26:27
	And the promenade was closed at Waeneme Beach.	02:26:35
	Through March 7th and reopened on March 7th.	02:26:39
	And so we were successful in getting the dredge here and making sure that the dredge took place this year.	02:26:43
	The challenge we did have is that the volume dredged was lower than expected, lower than.	02:26:51
	Hoped for, we obtained approximately 900,000 to 1,000,000 cubic yards of sand.	02:26:58
	Which was short of the 2.4 million cubic yard goal.	02:27:03
	And on the next slide, I'll come back to this one.	02:27:07
	We have a picture from pre dredge.	02:27:10
	On the left, October 4th and you can see where it's just a very narrow strip of sand.	02:27:13
	And then on March 4th, which was essentially as soon as the dredge was complete.	02:27:18
	We were able to get pictures and.	02:27:24
	It's a noticeable improvement, but it's still not the level that we were hoping for and expecting.	02:27:26
	And.	02:27:34
	I know.	02:27:36
	In the past, the issue has been budget challenges and I know a lot of people, we got a lot of comments this year about, you know,	02:27:36
	what are we doing to get in front of the budget challenges related to the dredge.	02:27:41
	And, umm.	02:27:46
	Both fortunately and unfortunately, and maybe frustratingly so, the issues this year were not the budget, the.	02:27:47
	There was a.	02:27:54
	Short period of time where there was some.	02:27:57
	Budget related issues, but we jumped on those in partnership with the Challenge Harbor and the Port.	02:27:59
	And with Congresswoman Brownlee's office to get those resolved quickly.	02:28:05
	And so that wasn't what caused any.	02:28:09
	Delays this year What actually caused the delay were permitting, permitting challenges.	02:28:12
	Essentially caused by the differences between state standards and federal standards in a disagreement.	02:28:17
	Between the state and the federal agencies of.	02:28:23
	Whether or not.	02:28:26
	Each agency could apply their rules.	02:28:26
	And so it's a pretty major challenge.	02:28:30
	When you talk about the state of California and the federal government arguing about something like that.	02:28:34
	But.	02:28:41
	In partnership with the port the the harbor.	02:28:43
	The city and others.	02:28:46
	We were able to get movement on that challenge. Our understanding was that challenge was actually causing issue and.	02:28:48
	Across several projects, but we were able to sort of escalate it and get it resolved.	02:28:54
	Where the state and federal.	02:28:59
	Groups came together and agreed that the project could proceed.	02:29:01
	But the.	02:29:06
	Shortage was caused because that delay, well, that was occurring.	02:29:08
	Impacted.	02:29:13
	Our time frame.	02:29:14
	And obviously the question.	02:29:15
	Most people would have as well. Couldn't they have just stayed longer? But we are.	02:29:19
	Constrained by.	02:29:23
	The environmental regulations due to the nesting season here at Waeneme Beach.	02:29:25
	So if they start late.	02:29:30
	They just have to. They still have to leave on the same day.	02:29:32
	So that's essentially what happened this year.	02:29:36
	In the meantime, since the project completion, we have continued to advocate.	02:29:41
	We've had conversations with.	02:29:47
	The challenge harbor the Port of Wine.	02:29:49
	Army Corps of Engineers.	02:29:52
	And and others.	02:29:55
	To try to make sure we're continuing to advocate for the.	02:29:56
	For them to essentially return.	02:30:01
	Normally they come back every two years, but the idea this year would be for them to come back.	02:30:04
	Towards the end of 2025, in October or so.	02:30:10
	Our conversations with the Army Corps of Engineering was that that is looking.	02:30:15
	Positive and that they are starting to prepare to with the expectation that they would do that.	02:30:19
	But.	02:30:26
	I think the Corps of Engineers and really most federal agencies right now, will they, they can't guarantee anything.	02:30:27
	I think we got some some of that feedback from them that they.	02:30:35
	They are.	02:30:39
	Planning on it but.	02:30:41
	They can't guarantee it at this point depending on what other things happen with.	02:30:43
	At the federal level.	02:30:48
	And then I know I shared this.	02:30:50
	With this e-mail with the council.	02:30:53
	But uh.	02:30:56
	We had had that conversation with the Army Corps team that we were in communication with.	02:30:58
	And then?	02:31:03
	Friday we were notified that China Islands Harbor and and Mr. Michael Tripp from the harbor also had that conversation with his.	02:31:05
	Connections at the Army Corps of Engineer and was essentially told the same thing that they're all.	02:31:12
	Starting to prepare with the expectation that they come back in October.	02:31:17
	They just can't.	02:31:21
	Say that they guarantee it at this point so.	02:31:22
	So we're all going to keep advocating, we're going to try to keep it on the.	02:31:25
	Radar and make sure that if there's.	02:31:30
	Any chance of it happening that we are trying to make it happen?	02:31:33
	But it's I think it's one of those things that we won't get.	02:31:37
	Guarantee until the week they show up.	02:31:40
	Really, I think that's that's sort of our read of the situation right now.	02:31:43
	So.	02:31:47
	So the.	02:31:48
	Item was intended to provide an update.	02:31:50
	Really the direction that we were recommending was just to continue to.	02:31:53
	Allow staff to advocate in partnership with the other agencies involved.	02:32:01
	I think we all are advocating and want to continue to advocate.	02:32:06
	And we'll all try to make do what we can to make sure that they are able to come back.	02:32:10
	Later this year.	02:32:15
	So. So that is the dredge update.	02:32:16
	Great. Thank you. Any questions?	02:32:19
	Let's go with the Councilmember Hernandez and then we'll go to Councilmember Gama.	02:32:24
	So I sent some questions I think earlier or maybe I just sent one question, but I have some additional questions.	02:32:30
	Did the numbers that are included in this report from past years?	02:32:36
	On the number of cubic 1,000,000 cubic yards that we received, does that include?	02:32:41
	This the additional sand that comes from the port? Or is it just the harbor numbers because those are two separate projects.	02:32:46
	So my understanding is that's the total cubic yards that were provided to our beach. So it's not it didn't we don't have	02:32:54
	statistics on.	02:32:58
	The source? Which ones came from which of the projects? That was the total sand each of those years.	02:33:03
	OK, can we get that information?	02:33:09
	So we know what is coming actually from.	02:33:11
	The dredging of the harbor versus the dredging from the port.	02:33:14
	Yeah, we could reach out to those. I sometimes increase the amount of sand that we're.	02:33:18
	When we include the port numbers.	02:33:24
	Yeah. Thank you.	02:33:31
	So if they can't come back.	02:33:35
	October 20.	02:33:37
	5.	02:33:39
	Then they would be back.	02:33:41
	27.	02:33:44
	So my question is if they can't come back?	02:33:46
	Then we're just going to go back to two year cycle.	02:33:48
	The IT is on a 2 year cycle. The idea is that they would come back at the mid.	02:33:53
	Point this time only.	02:33:59
	Right. So and then would they then come back?	02:34:01
	On the regular two year cycle.	02:34:06
	I think the county was working on a plan.	02:34:08
	I'm sorry.	02:34:11
	Yeah, on the regular cycle.	02:34:12
	I don't remember now if that's 26 or 27, but it would be on the regular cycle.	02:34:14
	So the idea wasn't to replace it.	02:34:18
	It was just to supplement with the additional dredge in October.	02:34:21
	And so if they don't come back in October 25.	02:34:25
	Then our next window would be.	02:34:30
	October 26.	02:34:33
	Or 27.	02:34:36
	I believe it's October 26, but it's the.	02:34:38
	The it's the what I intend to say is it's the two year cycle that we are on.	02:34:40
	So I believe that would be October 2026.	02:34:44
	But now the the.	02:34:47
	Yeah, because it started October 2024.	02:34:51
	Yeah, OK.	02:34:54
	Any other question?	02:34:56
	Madam Clerk, do we have any public comments? Yes.	02:34:58
	1st is Stacy Link.	02:35:01
	Sorry I'm a little short here.	02:35:12
	Good evening, Mayor. Mayor Pro Tem.	02:35:14
	City Council members, city and City Manager Vega, thank you very much for your time. I'm Stacy Lang, chief commercial public	02:35:17
	affairs officer at the port.	02:35:21
	First of all, thank you for the detailed summary, I just wanted to share that.	02:35:26
	Currently this week, the executives from our government team in the port are in DC for a unrelated meeting, but they actually have	02:35:30
	scheduled.	02:35:36
	A meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers specifically in order to help really fully support this. So just wanted to share with	02:35:41
	you that that is going on behind the scenes. We've got a meeting on Thursday scheduled. It's got Kristen Dicus, our port CEO,	02:35:47
	Jason Hodge, one of our harbor Commissioners and the government affairs team that are all really working. And as as you mentioned,	02:35:53
	we've really been in lockstep with you when we found this issue with the language that that set it back. We really want to	02:35:59
	continue to work with you.	02:36:05
	And make sure that we are doing what we can to push this forward.	02:36:11
	Thank you. Thank you.	02:36:16
	Vienna Lopez.	02:36:19
	Good evening Mayor, Mayor, Pro Tem, council and staff. Just wanted to echo the comments from Stacy on behalf of the the board and	02:36:28
	as the county supervisor representing this area.	02:36:33
	I want to appreciate the.	02:36:39
	Are you bringing this up, bringing for public discussion and and just affirming the importance of of what dredging means?	02:36:42
	For our community here in Port Wayne, me and the harbor, the naval base, the Channel Islands harbor, and I just want to extend	02:36:48
	that support that we're all working together.	02:36:55
	And ensuring that we have that funding provided to to the county.	02:37:02
	The dredging item has a specific budget line item request on our legislative platform, which was approved in January at our board	02:37:08
	meeting and it is on our the request. Our budget request is on a 2 year cycle.	02:37:15
	The legislative platform, but it is something that we will continue to advocate for and working in partnership with the city.	02:37:23
	Through our government affairs team as well and our lobbyists in DC who came out here in December. And so I this is definitely one	02:37:29
	of the key issues that that I've raised.	02:37:35
	To ensure that it continues to receive the attention necessary to support the community here, so just want to reiterate that	02:37:40
	support.	02:37:44
	Look forward to working together in partnership with all the stakeholders to ensure that we get that mid cycle dredging project	02:37:48
	completed as well. So thank you.	02:37:53
	Great. Thank you.	02:37:58
	That concludes public comment.	02:38:01
	Great. Thank you. So we have before us.	02:38:03
	It's the recommendation to receive an update on the Channel Islands Harbor dredging project and provide.	02:38:07
	Direction.	02:38:14
	And so I think the direction is we're going to keep moving and keep communicating and collaborating.	02:38:15
	Correct. May I have a motion and a second to receive?	02:38:20
	So moved.	02:38:24
	2nd.	02:38:26
	Is there any discussion?	02:38:27
	I just want to make a comment that I hope that.	02:38:29
	Mr. City Manager that you don't have to spend 80 hours doing advocacy, that you can work close closely through the county and use	02:38:33
	their lobbyists so.	02:38:37
	So you didn't?	02:38:42
	You know, umm.	02:38:44
	Don't over overextend yourself.	02:38:45
	So thank you.	02:38:47
	Great. Any other comments?	02:38:49
	I have a comment.	02:38:52
	So the port thank you for the advocacy at DC right now. That's that is awesome. And.	02:38:53
	Being a thank you from the county, appreciate that.	02:39:00
	I'll just echo that.	02:39:04
	Thank you for your help in this.	02:39:05
	All right, if there's nothing else, Madam Clerk, can we please take a vote?	02:39:09
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	02:39:13
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:39:16
	Great. Thank you.	02:39:19
	And so we're going to move on to City manager comments and reports.	02:39:21
	Thank you.	02:39:25
	Couple of.	02:39:27
	Items. Quick items.	02:39:29
	So the big one is this weekend is the community benefit fund partnership with city and the port.	02:39:33
	See Splash Color Dash 5K. I'm still having a hard time.	02:39:41
	Saying that, but.	02:39:46
	It's the 5K starts at 9:00 AM this Saturday. The 1K for Kids starts at 10:30 AM and the Health and Wellness Fair will go	02:39:48
	throughout the event from 9:30 to 12:30.	02:39:53
	We know we have about 743 people registered.	02:40:01
	So, umm.	02:40:04
	So hopefully everybody comes out to run. If you didn't register, you could still come out and check out the Health and Wellness	02:40:05
	Fair.	02:40:08
	And we hope to see everybody there.	02:40:11
	This Saturday. I know the turn out was great last year and it sounds like it's actually going to be even.	02:40:14
	Better this year, so.	02:40:18
	We hope to see everybody there.	02:40:19
	Mr. City Manager, regarding that, if we registered to run, is it transferable?	02:40:21
	No, have a good reason. I'm also working a booth and giving out berries to the runners.	02:40:26
	I think we can. I don't know the answer off the top of my head, but I'll find out and we'll try to make it happen since it's for a	02:40:31
	good reason.	02:40:34
	We wanted to give an update on Surfside Motel. I think people probably may have seen the newspaper article.	02:40:41
	On this this week so we just wanted to give.	02:40:49
	Our community a little bit of an update.	02:40:51
	Our City team went out on site and.	02:40:56
	Well, in short, we performed an inspection back in January. We saw potential health and safety issues that required us to sort of	02:40:59
	escalate and bring in our full team.	02:41:04
	So we went back out on March 4th and inspected with our full team and we found.	02:41:09
	Pretty severe violations including lack of water, heat and unsafe living conditions.	02:41:14
	So, umm.	02:41:19
	People may have noticed are a large City team was out there on March 4th.	02:41:20
	We essentially immediately went to work, red tagging and yellow tagging the property.	02:41:26
	As a result of the inspection.	02:41:31
	And we are currently working with the property owner to try to get the tenants who were there.	02:41:34
	Relocated and to make sure that they're getting the relocation benefits that they should get.	02:41:40
	And so that's something our team is currently working on right now and trying to make sure everybody gets out of there and into	02:41:45
	safer conditions.	02:41:49
	And.	02:41:54
	That's really to address the serious violations that we saw.	02:41:55
	That day, it's also to make sure that people aren't living in those conditions, but.	02:41:59
	We know the next question people may have is.	02:42:06
	Well, what's next on this property? You know, how can the city move this forward? And we have.	02:42:09
	Our team working aggressively every day. We're going back and forth to try to move this project forward.	02:42:15
	And make sure that it doesn't continue to just stall out and be.	02:42:22
	A nuisance really, for lack of a better word, so.	02:42:28
	We will be working with the property owner aggressively to try to make sure that the project moves forward.	02:42:31
	In the appropriate way.	02:42:37
	So.	02:42:39
	What we have said to people is if people do see any code compliance issues or any criminal activity.	02:42:41
	I think one thing that's happened is people got so used to seeing some of the issues that they stopped.	02:42:47
	Calling the city about them.	02:42:53
	And we will be out there ourselves and proactively. But if any members of the public, do you see issues?	02:42:54
	We're encouraging everybody to let us know because we will continue to work to address those issues and to make sure to document	02:43:00
	and.	02:43:04
	And, umm.	02:43:08
	Respond to those issues as soon as possible.	02:43:09
	So we just want to let people know we know that's been a hot topic for a long time.	02:43:12
	And these were some of the photos from our inspection. You can see some of the conditions that really just people should not be	02:43:16
	living in so.	02:43:20
	We're going to continue to try to.	02:43:23
	To address those.	02:43:26
	On a more positive note, with the Beach Fest permit being approved today.	02:43:29
	We have also gotten our vendor applications.	02:43:34
	Information up and so vendors can apply for.	02:43:38
	Beach Fest now.	02:43:42
	The application deadline is March 27th, which is coming up quicker than people may realize, so we're asking people to.	02:43:43
	We're trying to get the word out so people can apply for vendor applications.	02:43:50
	And then at the same time, we've also just launched the community poster contest is.	02:43:55
	Mr. Montalongo mentioned.	02:44:00
	With the deadline for that of April 24th. So there's still about a little more than a month on that.	02:44:02
	So we want to get the word out to all of our local students at we have prizes for high school, junior high and elementary level.	02:44:07
	So any local student should be able to participate in that poster event.	02:44:15
	And then a couple more.	02:44:21
	Quick Items.	02:44:24
	One is the.	02:44:25
	I think it might be the second time. I don't think it's the first, but we're having.	02:44:28
	A rock painting event. Sunday the 23rd at noon.	02:44:33
	The museum.	02:44:39
	And so I think it's the second time they've done it and.	02:44:40
	The registration fee is $5. It's at 220 Market St. and again Sunday the 23rd at noon we'll be having the.	02:44:44
	Rock painting event.	02:44:52
	And then we also just wanted to let the public know we had heard at one point that there was a line for the fire pits and some	02:44:53
	people were having trouble accessing them.	02:44:58
	We were able to. We had gotten a pretty good deal on the fire pits, less than we had expected. So we had remaining budget.	02:45:04
	For the fire pits, so we're able to get the two additional fire pits.	02:45:11
	For the the approved budget and so those two additional fire pits were placed at Winami Beach last week.	02:45:15
	We didn't do a big announcement because we we seem to have this.	02:45:22
	Bad luck where we always put the fire pits out on the day it's rainy so.	02:45:25
	That happened again.	02:45:31
	So.	02:45:33
	We didn't announce it publicly yet, but we probably will announce it this week, so anybody who's watching and hasn't been able to.	02:45:34
	To use the fire pits, get out there in the next couple days before we announce them. They're they're out there now and ready to	02:45:40
	use.	02:45:44
	And then for April 7th, our.	02:45:49
	Here's what our agenda is looking like at this point. We do have 3 presentations scheduled.	02:45:53
	Fair Housing Month proclamation.	02:45:57
	The Autism Awareness Month proclamation and the State of the Port presentation by Port CEO Kristen Dicus.	02:45:59
	And then?	02:46:07
	There's a few notable consent calendar items, some projects pub.	02:46:08
	Public Works project.	02:46:13
	The interesting one is the turf turnkey grant for City Hall and Miranda Park.	02:46:15
	We'll go.	02:46:21
	Get more into it at the next council meeting, but.	02:46:23
	It's a opportunity that came in handy. Where?	02:46:25
	The city last year adopted new landscaping standards for the city and it's an attempt to have more water conservation focused	02:46:29
	landscaping.	02:46:33
	And it just so happened when we adopted those that there was a grant opportunity from.	02:46:38
	I think it was Callegus Water District, but we'll give more information.	02:46:45
	To actually fund.	02:46:49
	Some cities.	02:46:51
	Trying to do some demonstration projects to show the communities what?	02:46:53
	Like water conservation projects could look like.	02:46:56
	So we have a good opportunity for one of those and we'll bring that forward at the next council meeting.	02:46:59
	And then for business items, we're bringing our mid year budget review.	02:47:05
	At that meeting.	02:47:11
	We also had talked about scheduling an annual review of the Council policy and procedures manual, so that will be.	02:47:12
	The second annual review will will be scheduled that meeting.	02:47:19
	And then we're bringing the Veterans Advisory Commission options.	02:47:23
	And the send.	02:47:27
	Centenarian Which?	02:47:29
	I is a fancy word I had to learn for 100th birthday proclamation policy.	02:47:31
	And so we'll bring those items back to council.	02:47:38
	On April 7th.	02:47:41
	And that's all I have.	02:47:43
	I will move on to council member reports. We'll start with.	02:47:49
	Councilmember Perez, thank you. The one committee I was able to attend, which is the Federal Outreach Advisory Council.	02:47:54
	Was literally a 20 minute discussion on the update on the Houses debate over the continuing resolution and its implications.	02:48:01
	For defense funding and operations and it lasted 20 minutes and then it was over.	02:48:08
	Hopefully more to discuss the next time round.	02:48:14
	Great. Thank you, Councilmember.	02:48:18
	I think last meeting I reported that our Beacon meeting, then we're having another Beacon meeting this Friday, right VNA?	02:48:20
	I think we fell behind.	02:48:27
	But there's nothing new report there.	02:48:30
	Excuse me, do you have fee increase coming up on your next agenda?	02:48:33
	Yes.	02:48:38
	But but it's.	02:48:41
	It's not going to be.	02:48:43
	It's going to be minimal.	02:48:46
	There was a plan to move.	02:48:48
	Forward a little more aggressively, but.	02:48:51
	That plan has been abandoned. The the unique thing about Beacon is is.	02:48:53
	You can't have a fee increase unless you have unanimous consent among all the members.	02:48:57
	So.	02:49:04
	I think the message was received loud and clear that.	02:49:05
	Budgets are kind of.	02:49:09
	A little tricky right now and so.	02:49:11
	There's I think it's just going to be a cola increase if.	02:49:15
	If I'm correct right?	02:49:19
	Yes.	02:49:20
	And we're going to be discussing the Sand Summit.	02:49:23
	Trying to determine that.	02:49:26
	Which is great. So we're talking about dredging sand Summit and all the funiculars that are involved in.	02:49:27
	I really appreciate.	02:49:34
	The effort that everybody's putting in on the stretch situation.	02:49:37
	A couple of meetings ago.	02:49:42
	We reviewed our port agreements, Mr. City Manager and A.	02:49:44
	I think we had a few questions that we couldn't answer ourselves and we sent them over to our friends at the port of Winning Me.	02:49:49
	Have have we gotten a response on those yet?	02:49:53
	I haven't yet we.	02:49:58
	We had talked about it a couple days after so I'll send a reminder.	02:50:01
	OK. I'll just following up on that. I was checking my notes.	02:50:04
	And.	02:50:08
	Good things are happening at.	02:50:11
	Ventura County Animal Services.	02:50:14
	Our new director is he's an amazing guy.	02:50:16
	He came up with this idea to help move.	02:50:21
	Are overcrowded animals out of state to areas where they're in need of animals?	02:50:25
	And then I noticed that.	02:50:30
	Other.	02:50:32
	Jurisdictions are doing it now.	02:50:33
	And so.	02:50:35
	It's great.	02:50:38
	Went over to.	02:50:40
	Just take a walk.	02:50:41
	Check out all the dogs over there and.	02:50:42
	The place is beautiful, We have a great.	02:50:44
	Expansion plan coming together.	02:50:48
	Originally, everybody included myself, we need to have a Taj Mahal of an Animal Services and let's put it near the freeway. So	02:50:51
	everyone.	02:50:55
	After a lot of long thoughts like you know what, we have enough room here at the airport and let's just.	02:51:00
	Make our existing area better, bigger.	02:51:05
	More modern SO.	02:51:09
	That's all beginning to happen.	02:51:11
	And.	02:51:13
	That's it.	02:51:16
	OK. Thank you, Mayor.	02:51:18
	Over the last two weeks, I attended 2 legislative discussions, 1 through the.	02:51:21
	Local.	02:51:28
	Local communications membership committee.	02:51:29
	Through SCAG and then today I attended one through Cal Cities and I also attended the Cal Cities.	02:51:32
	Get together of channel counties on Friday.	02:51:40
	Friday night up in Goleta and heard from.	02:51:43
	Assemblyman.	02:51:47
	Greg Hart and.	02:51:48
	And also heard from.	02:51:50
	Senator Congressman Salud Carbajal.	02:51:52
	And there's a lot going on in the area of legislation and legislative bills that are.	02:51:56
	Being are going through the House right now, the House and the Senate.	02:52:02
	I just wanted to call out a few just so staff can.	02:52:06
	Be alerted that these are bills to watch for and I will have the handout which I'll pass on to the city manager for specific	02:52:10
	numbers. So there's one piece of legislation that's going to address parking requirements for Adus.	02:52:17
	To make sure that there's plenty of parking when we approve ad use for.	02:52:24
	For the residents of those Adus.	02:52:30
	City attorney billing transparency and city attorney billing is also, there's some legislation coming down the Pike on that.	02:52:32
	K9 unit compliance.	02:52:39
	New compliance requirements under POST.	02:52:41
	Major changes with the Brown Act are being proposed.	02:52:44
	We have new administrative policies regarding the homelessness programs. I think they're switching.	02:52:49
	Offices.	02:52:54
	And then of course, water is always an issue.	02:52:55
	I also attended the VCOG meeting and we talked about broadband planning and the last mile connection.	02:52:59
	Thank you for the information for from Aaron. Please extend my thanks, it was quite useful.	02:53:05
	There is a grant that's available through broadband that they cannot, that they won't be applying for us.	02:53:12
	Of the applicant us this as the city would have to apply for it.	02:53:18
	So I'll send you that information.	02:53:22
	As well.	02:53:24
	And then VCOG is assessing their assessment fee.	02:53:26
	It's going to be.	02:53:30
	Approximately by $550. Not not a whole lot.	02:53:31
	So that's good.	02:53:36
	I'm also working with REACH on a grant and.	02:53:38
	Enough for another mural.	02:53:42
	And we're hoping that we can get off the ground a mural that honors the life of Orving Carpenter.	02:53:44
	So you'll hear more about that. It's in the very, very early stages.	02:53:51
	And then I wanted to bring to the Council's attention that in June.	02:53:55
	The Army Corps of Engineers are going to be celebrating their 250th.	02:54:01
	Anniversary.	02:54:06
	So we might want to consider a proclamation for them in June.	02:54:08
	And that's all I have.	02:54:13
	I didn't attend any committee meetings, but I did.	02:54:17
	I did go to coffee with Steve Bennett here in Winnie Me.	02:54:20
	Locally.	02:54:24
	We had a small turn out.	02:54:25
	But a lot of good information was passed.	02:54:27
	And my hope is that as these.	02:54:30
	You know our assemblyman, Come, come and visit.	02:54:34
	You know, we're a little more active.	02:54:37
	I did meet with former Mayor Bobby Martinez, Councilman.	02:54:39
	With Sister City he had a his.	02:54:43
	Entourage from Puerto Vallarta.	02:54:47
	And we got to tour the robotics.	02:54:51
	First the first robotics that the the port. That was awesome.	02:54:55
	At that event, for people who don't know, we actually have a Winnie Me team.	02:55:00
	At the Winimi High School.	02:55:05
	Thunder Bikes.	02:55:07
	And they're poorly funded.	02:55:10
	So we're going to have to work on that.	02:55:12
	I've been talking with Jonathan Soto and.	02:55:15
	He's he's a school teacher. He's one of the members there and.	02:55:20
	Going to work on some grants for him.	02:55:24
	And.	02:55:29
	That was it.	02:55:33
	Thank you.	02:55:36
	A couple of things. So I am back to.	02:55:37
	All my meetings here.	02:55:41
	All my meetings.	02:55:44

	With the Navy League luncheon, they had a luncheon in celebration also of the 83rd CB birthday.	02:55:57
	I am.	02:56:04
	I completed I think.	02:56:06
	My FPPC 700 forms with the extended version, so that was kind of tricky, so I think I'm done with that.	02:56:08
	I'll be attending one of two budget meetings with VCTC.	02:56:16
	On Monday.	02:56:22
	I'll be literally leaving that office headed to the airport for the trip to DC with RDP.	02:56:24
	And I'll be returning on the 27th.	02:56:31
	I am unable to attend this weekend's event.	02:56:34
	And so just want to let you all know that.	02:56:39

	Merido Foundation coastal keepers.	02:57:13
	They're really putting in a lot of effort in at Perkins Rd.	02:57:16
	When any beach cleanup is out there every Saturday and so we're now shouting to each other across the lagoon and.	02:57:20
	It's a it's been.	02:57:27
	It is one of the cleanest winter.	02:57:29
	Beach trash situations that we had in a long time in a.	02:57:32
	Everybody's like.	02:57:36
	Kicking in the high gear and really appreciate all that volunteerism that's.	02:57:37
