| Everyone to the Citizen Advisory Commission regular meeting, January 2025. I'm calling this meeting to order at 4:03 PM. Madam | 00:06:52 | |
| City Clerk, please take the roll. Member Bruni. | 00:06:59 | |
| Here Member Moody. | 00:07:07 | |
| Members to follow. | 00:07:09 | |
| Vice Chair Burke. | 00:07:11 | |
| And Tara, Claire. | 00:07:16 | |
| We're now going to move to public comments. We'll now hear public comments not pertaining to items on the agenda. Comments are | 00:07:18 | |
| limited to three minutes. This process will be the same for comments pertaining to agenda items. Madam City Clerk, do we have any | 00:07:24 | |
| public comment? We have a public comment from Dulce Satterfield. Thank you. | 00:07:30 | |
| Greetings Commissioners and thank you for being here and doing your service for the city. I don't remember there being a | 00:07:40 | |
| Commission when I first moved here. | 00:07:44 | |
| So it is my first time in front of you, though I've watched a couple of the online meetings and I heard the. | 00:07:49 | |
| Report delivered by the deputy. | 00:07:58 | |
| City manager about the. | 00:08:02 | |
| Recent beach festival. | 00:08:04 | |
| So I'm here today. I, I wrote on the card, I said about thinking out-of-the-box because I did read in the minutes that you're | 00:08:08 | |
| supposed to be looking out to approve later in the meeting about. | 00:08:14 | |
| Vice Chair Jan Burke saying that suggestions from this Commission add to the staff's ability or maybe willingness also, to think | 00:08:21 | |
| out-of-the-box. So here I am. I'm often a little bit out-of-the-box. | 00:08:28 | |
| And 1st, as its disclaimer, I don't have any acquaintances or beneficiaries of from the city. Events that happen tend to happen at | 00:08:35 | |
| the beach. | 00:08:41 | |
| Don't know the vendors or anyone. | 00:08:48 | |
| So that aside, I did notice in the report that was given that there was no mention that there's been any kind of noise concerns | 00:08:50 | |
| raised about events, not just not just the beach festival that was reported on, but others. And then what was so that was that's | 00:08:58 | |
| hidden from you that there's really another side to what you're what's being reported. This is stuff that's not reported and then. | 00:09:06 | |
| I didn't see anything reported about any attempts to maybe monitor any of the noise levels, excessive noise that affect the | 00:09:14 | |
| multifamily. | 00:09:18 | |
| Households so nearby, so I'm going to get to that in a minute. But first, a little bit of fun stuff because I just stumbled across | 00:09:22 | |
| something. | 00:09:26 | |
| Really fun. | 00:09:31 | |
| This. | 00:09:34 | |
| A1 day event in a small city. | 00:09:36 | |
| Known as Ohai, we have something I think will look great and be so much fun at the beach and you can find it online if you search | 00:09:39 | |
| for. | 00:09:44 | |
| Shark. | 00:09:51 | |
| Shark something or other, I'll remember it in a minute, but this? | 00:09:55 | |
| This little boy, see, he's got one arm up. He was just so excited the whole time. But. | 00:09:59 | |
| This is how he approached the giant wave and the shark. He couldn't wait to get there. He's running. I think he's the smallest of | 00:10:04 | |
| the children I saw, but this girl seemed older than the others, maybe longer legs. She was the champion. She didn't fall off | 00:10:12 | |
| during that allowed allotted time. And when she got off, I saw this transformation moment. | 00:10:19 | |
| She was looking up at the sky, not going to her parents or anything. | 00:10:28 | |
| And it was like this whole self esteem, like I did it. I can do it like. | 00:10:32 | |
| Is magical and she thought we need more of that at the beach. So am I out of time? | 00:10:38 | |
| OK, well I'll have to be back another time to finish, but I have a few more photos. | 00:10:44 | |
| And they will be available if you're interested. | 00:10:52 | |
| The pilot noise study was delivered to the City Council, verbally introduced it to them in December. I didn't want you to be out | 00:10:55 | |
| of the loop, so if you want more on that, please be in touch with me. Thank you. Thank you for your public comment. Our next | 00:11:01 | |
| meeting is in April if you'd like to attend that meeting at anytime. If you want to provide information to the Commission, you can | 00:11:07 | |
| also forward it to staff and they'll forward it on to the commissioners. Thank you. | 00:11:13 | |
| Yes, our city. A city clerk. | 00:11:20 | |
| Are there any other public speakers? | 00:11:23 | |
| No other public comments at this time. OK, thank you. We're going to now move on to the consent calendar, the consent calendar. | 00:11:26 | |
| Items will be considered in one motion unless the commissioner has a request to remove an item for discussion. | 00:11:35 | |
| This meeting only has one item on consent and that is meeting minutes from our October meeting. Is there a motion to approve this | 00:11:42 | |
| item or to approve the consent calendar? Move to approve? Is there a second commissioners? | 00:11:48 | |
| I'll second. | 00:11:56 | |
| OK, it's been moved and seconded. Can I have a vote please? All in favor. | 00:11:58 | |
| Aye, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. | 00:12:04 | |
| Thank you. We're now going to move on to our business items. The first business item of our meeting this afternoon is the | 00:12:08 | |
| Community Benefit Fund sponsored Run Fund or excuse me, run walk event. Will staff please present the report? | 00:12:16 | |
| Thank you. | 00:12:24 | |
| Good afternoon, Commissioners, members of the public, staff. | 00:12:31 | |
| So, as the Commission may recall, one of the items under the purview of the Citizen Advisory Commission is to review city | 00:12:35 | |
| sponsored large scale recreation events, as was the case last year. | 00:12:41 | |
| This year's funding for the Community Benefit Fund includes an allocation. | 00:12:48 | |
| For a running race event. | 00:12:53 | |
| Special use permit for that event is scheduled to be presented to council. | 00:12:57 | |
| Next week, at the Tuesday meeting next week, but we wanted to ensure that this Commission had the opportunity to review and | 00:13:01 | |
| provide any comments about the event in advance of that. | 00:13:07 | |
| Unfortunately, the December meeting where we sought to engage the Commission about that was was cancelled for lack of a quorum, | 00:13:13 | |
| but we look forward to commissions input at this time. And with that brief overview, I'll turn it over to the Cities Recreation | 00:13:20 | |
| and Community Services Manager, Anna Haley, who will walk us through the presentation about this event. | 00:13:27 | |
| Good afternoon commissioners, members of the public and staff. As mentioned, agenda item 2 is the proposed Community Benefit Fund | 00:13:35 | |
| sponsored Run Walk event tile titled, see Splash Color Dash 5K. | 00:13:42 | |
| This is a city and Port of Waimea sponsored event. It is a road based public run walk featuring A5K race Kids 1K and Wellness | 00:13:51 | |
| Fair. | 00:13:56 | |
| The event is set to occur on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025 in the area will be impacted from 5:30 AM until 1:00 PM which includes | 00:14:02 | |
| setup and breakdown. | 00:14:08 | |
| The Wellness Fair will host health based providers sharing educational information. | 00:14:15 | |
| Children's activity area, refreshment vendors and live entertainment by way of a DJ. | 00:14:21 | |
| To give you an overview of the event's fiscal impact. | 00:14:30 | |
| Beach parking revenues will not be collected for parking lots. | 00:14:34 | |
| Abe or along the Surfside Drive or Ocean View Drive. The Community Benefit Fund contains a $10,000 allocation for this event. | 00:14:40 | |
| The event expenses are also to be offset by the $20 registration fee for the 5K and $10 registration fee for the one, Excuse me, | 00:14:51 | |
| the kids 1K. | 00:14:56 | |
| Participants will be required to register in advance and they are to receive a race T-shirt and medal. | 00:15:02 | |
| Before you is the proposed race route for the 5K. | 00:15:13 | |
| This is the same route utilized for the Run for Your Heart 5K last February. We have a traffic plan in place in coordination with | 00:15:17 | |
| our Police Department in a series of. | 00:15:22 | |
| Excuse me? Hard Rd. closures will prohibit vehicular access to the area for the duration of the race. | 00:15:28 | |
| Staff has also secured an encroachment permit with our Public Works Department and affected residents will be noticed well in | 00:15:35 | |
| advance as we will be working with the HOA's for Surfside One and for Surfside 4. | 00:15:42 | |
| A new offering this year is the Kids 1K, as well as the color run element for both races. By design, we're offering a path for | 00:15:52 | |
| those participants that want to engage in the color powder tunnel, shown here with the yellow arrow. | 00:15:59 | |
| The color tunnel will be constructed using tarps anchored to the palm trees on either side of the pedestrian walkway between | 00:16:08 | |
| Parking Lot A and Parking Lot B. | 00:16:12 | |
| This design will help contain the 100% natural cornstarch and naturally dyed powder, minimizing it from drifting into the | 00:16:18 | |
| surrounding beach areas and reducing the risk of dust pollution in neighboring communities. | 00:16:26 | |
| After the race concludes, the Public Works Department will promptly clean the pedestrian area and reopen it to the public. The opt | 00:16:34 | |
| out path on the map is represented with the blue arrow and blue lines for the participants not interested in going through the | 00:16:39 | |
| color station. | 00:16:45 | |
| Here is a general overview of the Wellness Fair site plan. | 00:16:56 | |
| This is the same footprint as last year's race event and I wanted to highlight the red perimeter, which designates the area that | 00:17:00 | |
| will remain closed for pedestrian traffic only throughout the entirety of the event. | 00:17:06 | |
| We will reopen Surfside Drive parking lots, A&B as soon as the race concludes. | 00:17:12 | |
| But retain the area shown in red through 1:00 PM, the 1:00 PM time frame. | 00:17:17 | |
| This year's event is also to include an additional opportunity for local health and Wellness based businesses to table at the | 00:17:23 | |
| event, showcasing products and services in alignment with the event focus. | 00:17:28 | |
| Today's recommendation is that the Citizen Advisory Commission review the Community Benefit Fund sponsored Run Walk event plan and | 00:17:36 | |
| provide an approval recommendation to the City Council. | 00:17:42 | |
| And we're happy to answer any questions that you may have at this time. | 00:17:48 | |
| Thank you. Thank you for that wonderful presentation. Does the Commission have any questions for staff at this time? Only | 00:17:52 | |
| questions will be taken at this time. Comments and discussion will be heard later on this item as first we need to go to public | 00:17:58 | |
| comment. Are there any questions before we go to public comment? Yes. | 00:18:04 | |
| I have one question. | 00:18:11 | |
| There you go. You're now unmuted. Go ahead. Sorry. | 00:18:14 | |
| You unmuted, now go ahead. | 00:18:17 | |
| I am unmuted. | 00:18:19 | |
| Yeah, continue. | 00:18:23 | |
| OK. I'm sorry, you said everybody gets AT shirt. I understand that they do, absolutely, yes. So it is a competitive race. However, | 00:18:25 | |
| every single person will receive a participation medal and AT shirt. So that's included in your registration fee. There is an | 00:18:34 | |
| opportunity for for 2nd and 3rd place winners for different age groups and that's in addition to the race T-shirt and metal. | 00:18:43 | |
| So if you're not first, second or third, you'll get some little metal. | 00:18:53 | |
| Yes, thank you. | 00:18:56 | |
| You're welcome. | 00:18:58 | |
| OK, there's no questions quite yet. Let's go to city, the city clerk to see if there's any public comment on this item. No public | 00:18:59 | |
| comments for this item. There's no public comments on this item. So the recommendation is to review the Community Benefit Fund | 00:19:05 | |
| sponsored run and walk event plan that was presented and provide a approval recommendation to the City Council. Does the | 00:19:11 | |
| Commission have a motion? | 00:19:17 | |
| At this time. | 00:19:24 | |
| I make a motion to approve. | 00:19:26 | |
| And this moved. Is there a second? | 00:19:29 | |
| I'll second the motion. It's been moved and seconded. Let's go ahead and see if we can have any, if there's any discussion on this | 00:19:33 | |
| item. | 00:19:36 | |
| Any Commissioner have any discussion on this item at this time? | 00:19:41 | |
| Well, I just want to thank the staff for this great report, another great event. I think it's going to have a good participation | 00:19:46 | |
| level. It's one of those things each year it's going to get wider and wider outreach just by word of mouth right among among the | 00:19:53 | |
| the running community, in the local community. I think the informational booths is going to be really valuable to bring in those | 00:20:00 | |
| partnerships. I really appreciate the addition of the color run and the kids run. Those are really making it multiple. | 00:20:07 | |
| Multi generational and inclusive and so. | 00:20:15 | |
| I really appreciate that and appreciate the staff support. I know that it's. | 00:20:18 | |
| Going to have a little bit of impact on that neighborhood for a couple of hours, but just a remarkable way of utilizing the beach | 00:20:23 | |
| and and funding it using funds intended for that very purpose. So I just want to thank staff for that. | 00:20:30 | |
| OK, Commissioners, are there any other comments on this item? | 00:20:38 | |
| OK, hearing none. Oh. | 00:20:42 | |
| Any comments? | 00:20:44 | |
| Just again, thank you, Anna for for. | 00:20:46 | |
| Your thoughtful process and putting these events together, you do a nice job and. | 00:20:50 | |
| It's a fun name, see splash color dash. Very creative and I think that it is nice to see. I've watched this race last year from my | 00:20:57 | |
| deck and it's very nice to see the. | 00:21:03 | |
| Amazing participation that we've had. How many did you have, Lester? We had 600 registrant participants and it sold out in one | 00:21:10 | |
| week. | 00:21:14 | |
| Yeah. So I imagine it might be more this year. So that's terrific. Thank you for for the hard work that you do. Thank you. That's | 00:21:19 | |
| all I know. Thank you. | 00:21:23 | |
| Wonderful. Thank you, Commissioner. Any other Commissioners have any comments or questions about this item? | 00:21:27 | |
| OK. It has been moved and seconded. So we're going to go ahead and take a vote on this item all in favor. | 00:21:34 | |
| All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you. We're now going to move to the next business item. | 00:21:42 | |
| This is the review of the City's legislative platform. Will staff please present the report? | 00:21:49 | |
| So item number three on the agenda pertains the legislative platform. Another item under the Commission's purview is the | 00:21:59 | |
| opportunity to review and make advisory recommendations to the City Council with regard to the cities legislative platform. | 00:22:06 | |
| As noted in the report, the document allows for a prompt response to proposed legislative changes and alleviates the need to go to | 00:22:14 | |
| the City Council each and every time having a platform from which the base the cities position, whether it be the mayor, mayor Pro | 00:22:20 | |
| Tem or the city manager providing a response. | 00:22:25 | |
| During last year's review, the Commission made various recommendations that were presented to the City Council. They considered | 00:22:31 | |
| those in addition to staff recommendations and other items that came up directly from council and adopted the legislative | 00:22:39 | |
| platform. That item is attached and included in the report for your review and once again, this current version, it's an | 00:22:46 | |
| opportunity for the Commission to consider any recommended changes that it wishes. I will Note 2 items that staff. | 00:22:54 | |
| To present to the City Council pertain to. | 00:23:02 | |
| Advocation for legislation that supports equitable, equitable distribution of sales tax revenue from online sales. As some of you | 00:23:06 | |
| may know, in the recent past, we've had a distribution center open up in an adjacent city and that has significantly impacted the | 00:23:14 | |
| amount of sales tax revenue from online sales that the city has received. And then the second item would be? | 00:23:22 | |
| To advocate for legislation that allows FEMA to. | 00:23:31 | |
| More effectively respond to localized disasters. As we will all remember, December of 2023, we had a very localized but very | 00:23:36 | |
| significant local disaster here in Port Hueneme. And based on the overall magnitude, we were not eligible. We, the city, the | 00:23:43 | |
| responders and the individuals that were impacted by the disaster were not eligible for FEMA assistance. And one of the proposed | 00:23:50 | |
| changes is to advocate for legislation that would allow FEMA. | 00:23:58 | |
| Be able to respond me a little bit more nimble and flexible in those types of localized situations that have significant impacts | 00:24:05 | |
| on communities. So those are the two. | 00:24:10 | |
| Topic areas that staff intends to make recommendation to City Council, but again, this is the opportunity for the Commission to | 00:24:16 | |
| consider both of those items in any additional items the Commission may have for the council to consider. | 00:24:23 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Deputy City Manager, does the Council have any questions for staff Only questions will be taken during this time. | 00:24:33 | |
| Comments and discussion will be heard later following. | 00:24:38 | |
| In public comment. | 00:24:43 | |
| OK, City Clerk, do we have any public comments on this item? | 00:24:46 | |
| Dulce Satterfield OK, thank you. And you will have 3 minutes. | 00:24:54 | |
| So I did read through all of the talks that you're considering. | 00:25:01 | |
| I propose adding. | 00:25:06 | |
| Support legislation that aims to strengthen noise awareness in conjunction with the 30th International Noise Awareness Day and | 00:25:09 | |
| where you at It is not my concern. I can see where it might fit here or there and but it's it's more about content and and what | 00:25:15 | |
| drives. | 00:25:21 | |
| This comment that I would hope that there would be more inner jurisdictional support going forward as we have some regional | 00:25:28 | |
| issues, things like Sonic booms and. | 00:25:34 | |
| Umm, so. | 00:25:42 | |
| Various jurisdictions supporting one another in prevention of noise pollution and or. | 00:25:44 | |
| Reduction of chronic or escalating excessive noise situations. | 00:25:51 | |
| Thank you for considering this input. I know it's a very long list of legislative, but the more words that. | 00:26:00 | |
| Other jurisdictions also can consider, I guess, the more vibrant, lively. | 00:26:08 | |
| Discussion comes out of that with legislative action. | 00:26:14 | |
| Thank you. | 00:26:18 | |
| Thank you for your public comment. Any other public comments? That concludes public comment. Thank you. We're now going to move to | 00:26:21 | |
| the recommendation. The recommendation was to conduct a review of this legislative platform, consider the need to recommend | 00:26:26 | |
| changes to the cities councils consideration. | 00:26:32 | |
| Does a Commissioner have a motion at this time? | 00:26:38 | |
| If I tend to do this out of sequence, but we're going to do it, OK, you're going to make, I'll make a motion to accept it and with | 00:26:43 | |
| a what? | 00:26:49 | |
| Deputy City Manager discussed those addition. Is there a second? | 00:26:56 | |
| I'll 2nd that. I also would like to see. I think that given. | 00:27:03 | |
| The incident from last winter, the FEMA edition would be much needed possibly in the future. So that's that's. | 00:27:08 | |
| That's noted and I appreciate the Staffs. | 00:27:16 | |
| Thoughtful consideration and I just want to make sure staff. | 00:27:19 | |
| Feels comfortable with the legislation that they can execute these these policies appropriately and that they're nothing, there's | 00:27:25 | |
| nothing that's in conflict. | 00:27:29 | |
| And so that I think that I think we made a lot of good changes last year. I think I don't have any new changes or additions or | 00:27:35 | |
| thoughts at this time, but thank you for the additional staff recommendations. | 00:27:40 | |
| Thank you. Discussion. Any Commissioners wish? We'll start on this end, Commissioner. | 00:27:47 | |
| I would just like to make a recommendation to the city manager and the city attorney. | 00:27:54 | |
| I'm not an attorney, but I went through everyone of these items. | 00:28:00 | |
| And there to me there's appears to be some conflicts between the art charter, the point where name is charter and the United | 00:28:04 | |
| States Constitution and a few of these items in this list here. And I would just make a recommendation that those two entities | 00:28:10 | |
| actually. | 00:28:16 | |
| Review these things and see if there is conflicts of interest or actually. | 00:28:23 | |
| Problems with these items. | 00:28:28 | |
| In regards to the United States Constitution. | 00:28:31 | |
| And the state constitution. | 00:28:34 | |
| OK, thank you, Commissioner. Any other Commissioner comments? | 00:28:38 | |
| What we can do is walk through the pages. It doesn't sound like there's going to be a lot to acknowledge, but let's do pages one | 00:28:45 | |
| through 3, and I'm looking at the page numbers within the document itself. | 00:28:51 | |
| And one there. | 00:29:03 | |
| OK. | 00:29:11 | |
| Any comments on pages one through 3? | 00:29:18 | |
| Our recommendations. | 00:29:22 | |
| OK. | 00:29:30 | |
| Not seeing any? We're going to go to Let's Go pages 4 through. | 00:29:32 | |
| 6. | 00:29:37 | |
| Of the document. | 00:29:38 | |
| One thing I'll note and it's. | 00:29:41 | |
| It's also kind of implied here under a number 11 open meetings. | 00:29:43 | |
| Considering really calling out ensuring that the city has the flexibility to hold virtual meetings. | 00:29:50 | |
| Whether the City Council participation City Council member participation virtually. | 00:29:57 | |
| Or to hold Commission meetings when deemed necessary virtually. That would be my suggestion is just ensuring that there's local | 00:30:02 | |
| control over that that the city had during the pandemic and and doesn't currently have. | 00:30:09 | |
| So that would be my suggestion under the Open Open Meeting Law section. | 00:30:17 | |
| OK, pages 6:00 and 7:00 any. | 00:30:23 | |
| Any comments on these pages? | 00:30:28 | |
| I have a comment. | 00:30:43 | |
| F of public protection F. | 00:30:45 | |
| Says support legislation that would enhance local control over public new nuisances, including but not limited to adult | 00:30:49 | |
| entertainment facilities. Problem alcohol establishments and properties are illegal, drugs are sold. | 00:30:57 | |
| Now, to me, that's in conflict with federal law. | 00:31:05 | |
| But this is my personal I believe. | 00:31:13 | |
| This issue was brought up when they were. | 00:31:16 | |
| Setting up the marijuana stuff, but. | 00:31:19 | |
| I'm coming. | 00:31:23 | |
| Thank you, Commissioner. | 00:31:26 | |
| Any other feedback on these pages? | 00:31:29 | |
| OK, let's walk through that was pages 6:00 and 7:00. | 00:31:36 | |
| When the home stretch here, let's look at pages 8 and 9. Anything on page 8:00 and 9:00? | 00:31:41 | |
| Yeah, I would just add just flagging for staff. I know they they will already be doing this, but under resources and environment, | 00:32:12 | |
| it doesn't need to be listed here, but I'm under #2 the California Environmental Quality Act and also under the disaster | 00:32:18 | |
| management sections. | 00:32:23 | |
| Just monitoring what's going on, the LA fires and the legislation that will be coming out of that. I know the governor, for | 00:32:30 | |
| example, in order to help with recovery, is actually utilizing some of his powers to suspend Sequa and some of the rebuilding. So | 00:32:36 | |
| I think just watching that space and being aware of how it would impact a place that's susceptible to flooding and erosion like | 00:32:42 | |
| like Port Hueneme. | 00:32:48 | |
| OK, any any comments on pages 8-9 and 10? | 00:32:56 | |
| I'd like to just make a comment on 6 energy on page. | 00:33:07 | |
| Then. | 00:33:12 | |
| That's a support legislation about alternative energy sources. | 00:33:14 | |
| I'd like to see something in there about if. | 00:33:19 | |
| That. | 00:33:22 | |
| Alternative Alternative energy sources are supported by scientific data or some type of support. | 00:33:25 | |
| Yeah, OK. I think that's agreeable. | 00:33:33 | |
| Anything on pages 11:00 and 12:00? | 00:33:37 | |
| I know we're going at a breakneck space speed here, but we're getting through it. | 00:33:48 | |
| OK, anything on pages 11:00 and 12:00? | 00:33:54 | |
| OK, let's go through pages 13 through 15 and then that will include this item. Anything on those pages? | 00:33:59 | |
| OK, Commissioners, any, any notes on pages 1314 or 15? | 00:34:52 | |
| On 14 law enforcement. | 00:34:58 | |
| I'd like to see something added about support for legislation that increases communication between law enforcement and federal | 00:35:01 | |
| agencies. | 00:35:05 | |
| Staff will make note of that and see if it can fit in there somewhere. | 00:35:13 | |
| Thank you. | 00:35:17 | |
| Any other? | 00:35:24 | |
| Any other notes? OK, we're going to zoom out to the whole document overall. Any additional feedback for staff on this item? | 00:35:26 | |
| Perhaps we can just note there in the notes in this item, not necessarily brought forward the Council, but just the concern shared | 00:35:36 | |
| about the noise awareness. We can just note that for. | 00:35:41 | |
| Kind of watch that space for future cycles. | 00:35:47 | |
| OK, there has been a motion and seconded a second on this item. | 00:35:52 | |
| City Clerk, do you mind taking a vote? | 00:35:56 | |
| All in favor, aye. All opposed Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you and thank you to the staff that work hard on on | 00:36:01 | |
| developing that and we'll be bringing it forward to the council. | 00:36:07 | |
| So now we're going to turn to our next item, which is staff comments. Staff, do you have any comments? | 00:36:14 | |
| The only comment slash announcement I wanted to to make for the general public's knowledge and also just to remind commissioners | 00:36:22 | |
| last year. | 00:36:26 | |
| The Commission spent some time reviewing and providing recommendations with regard to the Community Benefit Fund process and as | 00:36:31 | |
| part of the action that Council took in adopting a new process beginning February, the beginning of February, Monday, February 3rd | 00:36:39 | |
| is the first working day in February will be opening up the applications and inviting people to apply for Community Benefit Fund. | 00:36:47 | |
| Dollars according to the the new established process. So I wanted to let the Commission know about that and also for anyone | 00:36:57 | |
| listening to make sure that they they keep their eyes open. We'll have it available on our website. We'll promote it through | 00:37:01 | |
| social media. | 00:37:05 | |
| We'll probably also have some hard copies of the application available at public counters so people can start thinking about and | 00:37:10 | |
| preparing for requests for Community Benefit Fund dollars in the very near future. | 00:37:17 | |
| Thank you. Any other staff comments? | 00:37:27 | |
| OK, Thank you. We're now going to move to the next item, which is commissioner comments. We'll start on this side. Do any of the | 00:37:30 | |
| commissioner, commissioners have any comments? | 00:37:34 | |
| I was there. | 00:37:39 | |
| I do, I want to, I just want to thank all the staff when I came to the council meeting in December when we did the state of the | 00:37:42 | |
| City address. | 00:37:49 | |
| It was remarkable, the work that has been done in this past year by our city. It was I was very impressed with all the work that | 00:37:56 | |
| you all have done. | 00:38:00 | |
| Umm, I think that's the most accomplishments I've seen in a long time. You guys have been busy and I want to thank you all for a | 00:38:05 | |
| great job and it's. | 00:38:09 | |
| Very much appreciated by all of the citizens of the city, so thank you. | 00:38:15 | |
| Thank you, Commissioner. | 00:38:22 | |
| I hope everybody had a restful holiday season. I hope, you know, between Christmas and, and Hanukkah, and I mean, those overlapped | 00:38:25 | |
| a lot this year. So and then New Year's finally, I, I of course, need to acknowledge the Los Angeles fires that are happening. I | 00:38:31 | |
| know some and in our community are definitely impacted, if not volunteering down there, I know even some city and municipal staff | 00:38:38 | |
| elsewhere in the county that are down there. | 00:38:45 | |
| Assisting. | 00:38:53 | |
| And so, you know, continuing to watch that space, you know, those are our neighbors to the South. And, you know, many lives were | 00:38:54 | |
| lost and that in that fire. And I know they're continuing on that search too. And so, of course, as I always say, may their | 00:39:00 | |
| memories be a blessing. And I hope that I. | 00:39:06 | |
| We're there to help help them recover and also welcome them when many of them will need to relocate, possibly to Ventura County | 00:39:14 | |
| temporarily. So in places like Port Hueneme and Oxnard, Ventura, Macy, individuals, especially from the Palisades that need need | 00:39:20 | |
| to find homes. So be on the lookout for that. | 00:39:27 | |
| And also additionally, there's going to be some additional measures around. | 00:39:36 | |
| Price gouging that might be taking place in Ventura County as a result of the emergency in Los Angeles County. So please be on the | 00:39:41 | |
| lookout for that information coming out, including rent, rent and another price gouging because of the influx from the Palisades | 00:39:48 | |
| especially. So be on the lookout for that. There's the public safety shut off that are happening. I know we're aware of, but I | 00:39:55 | |
| know I have friends in the Thousand Oaks region that been without power for four days. | 00:40:01 | |
| So it's a good reminder to look at. | 00:40:09 | |
| What we can do to be prepared as individuals and what the city can do. | 00:40:12 | |
| So with that, that concludes my public comments. The next regular quarterly meeting of this body will be Monday, April 14th at | 00:40:16 | |
| 4:00 PM located here. The meeting is now adjourned at 4:37 PM. Thank you, everybody. Thank you for your time. | 00:40:23 |

| Everyone to the Citizen Advisory Commission regular meeting, January 2025. I'm calling this meeting to order at 4:03 PM. Madam | 00:06:52 | |
| City Clerk, please take the roll. Member Bruni. | 00:06:59 | |
| Here Member Moody. | 00:07:07 | |
| Members to follow. | 00:07:09 | |
| Vice Chair Burke. | 00:07:11 | |
| And Tara, Claire. | 00:07:16 | |
| We're now going to move to public comments. We'll now hear public comments not pertaining to items on the agenda. Comments are | 00:07:18 | |
| limited to three minutes. This process will be the same for comments pertaining to agenda items. Madam City Clerk, do we have any | 00:07:24 | |
| public comment? We have a public comment from Dulce Satterfield. Thank you. | 00:07:30 | |
| Greetings Commissioners and thank you for being here and doing your service for the city. I don't remember there being a | 00:07:40 | |
| Commission when I first moved here. | 00:07:44 | |
| So it is my first time in front of you, though I've watched a couple of the online meetings and I heard the. | 00:07:49 | |
| Report delivered by the deputy. | 00:07:58 | |
| City manager about the. | 00:08:02 | |
| Recent beach festival. | 00:08:04 | |
| So I'm here today. I, I wrote on the card, I said about thinking out-of-the-box because I did read in the minutes that you're | 00:08:08 | |
| supposed to be looking out to approve later in the meeting about. | 00:08:14 | |
| Vice Chair Jan Burke saying that suggestions from this Commission add to the staff's ability or maybe willingness also, to think | 00:08:21 | |
| out-of-the-box. So here I am. I'm often a little bit out-of-the-box. | 00:08:28 | |
| And 1st, as its disclaimer, I don't have any acquaintances or beneficiaries of from the city. Events that happen tend to happen at | 00:08:35 | |
| the beach. | 00:08:41 | |
| Don't know the vendors or anyone. | 00:08:48 | |
| So that aside, I did notice in the report that was given that there was no mention that there's been any kind of noise concerns | 00:08:50 | |
| raised about events, not just not just the beach festival that was reported on, but others. And then what was so that was that's | 00:08:58 | |
| hidden from you that there's really another side to what you're what's being reported. This is stuff that's not reported and then. | 00:09:06 | |
| I didn't see anything reported about any attempts to maybe monitor any of the noise levels, excessive noise that affect the | 00:09:14 | |
| multifamily. | 00:09:18 | |
| Households so nearby, so I'm going to get to that in a minute. But first, a little bit of fun stuff because I just stumbled across | 00:09:22 | |
| something. | 00:09:26 | |
| Really fun. | 00:09:31 | |
| This. | 00:09:34 | |
| A1 day event in a small city. | 00:09:36 | |
| Known as Ohai, we have something I think will look great and be so much fun at the beach and you can find it online if you search | 00:09:39 | |
| for. | 00:09:44 | |
| Shark. | 00:09:51 | |
| Shark something or other, I'll remember it in a minute, but this? | 00:09:55 | |
| This little boy, see, he's got one arm up. He was just so excited the whole time. But. | 00:09:59 | |
| This is how he approached the giant wave and the shark. He couldn't wait to get there. He's running. I think he's the smallest of | 00:10:04 | |
| the children I saw, but this girl seemed older than the others, maybe longer legs. She was the champion. She didn't fall off | 00:10:12 | |
| during that allowed allotted time. And when she got off, I saw this transformation moment. | 00:10:19 | |
| She was looking up at the sky, not going to her parents or anything. | 00:10:28 | |
| And it was like this whole self esteem, like I did it. I can do it like. | 00:10:32 | |
| Is magical and she thought we need more of that at the beach. So am I out of time? | 00:10:38 | |
| OK, well I'll have to be back another time to finish, but I have a few more photos. | 00:10:44 | |
| And they will be available if you're interested. | 00:10:52 | |
| The pilot noise study was delivered to the City Council, verbally introduced it to them in December. I didn't want you to be out | 00:10:55 | |
| of the loop, so if you want more on that, please be in touch with me. Thank you. Thank you for your public comment. Our next | 00:11:01 | |
| meeting is in April if you'd like to attend that meeting at anytime. If you want to provide information to the Commission, you can | 00:11:07 | |
| also forward it to staff and they'll forward it on to the commissioners. Thank you. | 00:11:13 | |
| Yes, our city. A city clerk. | 00:11:20 | |
| Are there any other public speakers? | 00:11:23 | |
| No other public comments at this time. OK, thank you. We're going to now move on to the consent calendar, the consent calendar. | 00:11:26 | |
| Items will be considered in one motion unless the commissioner has a request to remove an item for discussion. | 00:11:35 | |
| This meeting only has one item on consent and that is meeting minutes from our October meeting. Is there a motion to approve this | 00:11:42 | |
| item or to approve the consent calendar? Move to approve? Is there a second commissioners? | 00:11:48 | |
| I'll second. | 00:11:56 | |
| OK, it's been moved and seconded. Can I have a vote please? All in favor. | 00:11:58 | |
| Aye, all opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. | 00:12:04 | |
| Thank you. We're now going to move on to our business items. The first business item of our meeting this afternoon is the | 00:12:08 | |
| Community Benefit Fund sponsored Run Fund or excuse me, run walk event. Will staff please present the report? | 00:12:16 | |
| Thank you. | 00:12:24 | |
| Good afternoon, Commissioners, members of the public, staff. | 00:12:31 | |
| So, as the Commission may recall, one of the items under the purview of the Citizen Advisory Commission is to review city | 00:12:35 | |
| sponsored large scale recreation events, as was the case last year. | 00:12:41 | |
| This year's funding for the Community Benefit Fund includes an allocation. | 00:12:48 | |
| For a running race event. | 00:12:53 | |
| Special use permit for that event is scheduled to be presented to council. | 00:12:57 | |
| Next week, at the Tuesday meeting next week, but we wanted to ensure that this Commission had the opportunity to review and | 00:13:01 | |
| provide any comments about the event in advance of that. | 00:13:07 | |
| Unfortunately, the December meeting where we sought to engage the Commission about that was was cancelled for lack of a quorum, | 00:13:13 | |
| but we look forward to commissions input at this time. And with that brief overview, I'll turn it over to the Cities Recreation | 00:13:20 | |
| and Community Services Manager, Anna Haley, who will walk us through the presentation about this event. | 00:13:27 | |
| Good afternoon commissioners, members of the public and staff. As mentioned, agenda item 2 is the proposed Community Benefit Fund | 00:13:35 | |
| sponsored Run Walk event tile titled, see Splash Color Dash 5K. | 00:13:42 | |
| This is a city and Port of Waimea sponsored event. It is a road based public run walk featuring A5K race Kids 1K and Wellness | 00:13:51 | |
| Fair. | 00:13:56 | |
| The event is set to occur on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025 in the area will be impacted from 5:30 AM until 1:00 PM which includes | 00:14:02 | |
| setup and breakdown. | 00:14:08 | |
| The Wellness Fair will host health based providers sharing educational information. | 00:14:15 | |
| Children's activity area, refreshment vendors and live entertainment by way of a DJ. | 00:14:21 | |
| To give you an overview of the event's fiscal impact. | 00:14:30 | |
| Beach parking revenues will not be collected for parking lots. | 00:14:34 | |
| Abe or along the Surfside Drive or Ocean View Drive. The Community Benefit Fund contains a $10,000 allocation for this event. | 00:14:40 | |
| The event expenses are also to be offset by the $20 registration fee for the 5K and $10 registration fee for the one, Excuse me, | 00:14:51 | |
| the kids 1K. | 00:14:56 | |
| Participants will be required to register in advance and they are to receive a race T-shirt and medal. | 00:15:02 | |
| Before you is the proposed race route for the 5K. | 00:15:13 | |
| This is the same route utilized for the Run for Your Heart 5K last February. We have a traffic plan in place in coordination with | 00:15:17 | |
| our Police Department in a series of. | 00:15:22 | |
| Excuse me? Hard Rd. closures will prohibit vehicular access to the area for the duration of the race. | 00:15:28 | |
| Staff has also secured an encroachment permit with our Public Works Department and affected residents will be noticed well in | 00:15:35 | |
| advance as we will be working with the HOA's for Surfside One and for Surfside 4. | 00:15:42 | |
| A new offering this year is the Kids 1K, as well as the color run element for both races. By design, we're offering a path for | 00:15:52 | |
| those participants that want to engage in the color powder tunnel, shown here with the yellow arrow. | 00:15:59 | |
| The color tunnel will be constructed using tarps anchored to the palm trees on either side of the pedestrian walkway between | 00:16:08 | |
| Parking Lot A and Parking Lot B. | 00:16:12 | |
| This design will help contain the 100% natural cornstarch and naturally dyed powder, minimizing it from drifting into the | 00:16:18 | |
| surrounding beach areas and reducing the risk of dust pollution in neighboring communities. | 00:16:26 | |
| After the race concludes, the Public Works Department will promptly clean the pedestrian area and reopen it to the public. The opt | 00:16:34 | |
| out path on the map is represented with the blue arrow and blue lines for the participants not interested in going through the | 00:16:39 | |
| color station. | 00:16:45 | |
| Here is a general overview of the Wellness Fair site plan. | 00:16:56 | |
| This is the same footprint as last year's race event and I wanted to highlight the red perimeter, which designates the area that | 00:17:00 | |
| will remain closed for pedestrian traffic only throughout the entirety of the event. | 00:17:06 | |
| We will reopen Surfside Drive parking lots, A&B as soon as the race concludes. | 00:17:12 | |
| But retain the area shown in red through 1:00 PM, the 1:00 PM time frame. | 00:17:17 | |
| This year's event is also to include an additional opportunity for local health and Wellness based businesses to table at the | 00:17:23 | |
| event, showcasing products and services in alignment with the event focus. | 00:17:28 | |
| Today's recommendation is that the Citizen Advisory Commission review the Community Benefit Fund sponsored Run Walk event plan and | 00:17:36 | |
| provide an approval recommendation to the City Council. | 00:17:42 | |
| And we're happy to answer any questions that you may have at this time. | 00:17:48 | |
| Thank you. Thank you for that wonderful presentation. Does the Commission have any questions for staff at this time? Only | 00:17:52 | |
| questions will be taken at this time. Comments and discussion will be heard later on this item as first we need to go to public | 00:17:58 | |
| comment. Are there any questions before we go to public comment? Yes. | 00:18:04 | |
| I have one question. | 00:18:11 | |
| There you go. You're now unmuted. Go ahead. Sorry. | 00:18:14 | |
| You unmuted, now go ahead. | 00:18:17 | |
| I am unmuted. | 00:18:19 | |
| Yeah, continue. | 00:18:23 | |
| OK. I'm sorry, you said everybody gets AT shirt. I understand that they do, absolutely, yes. So it is a competitive race. However, | 00:18:25 | |
| every single person will receive a participation medal and AT shirt. So that's included in your registration fee. There is an | 00:18:34 | |
| opportunity for for 2nd and 3rd place winners for different age groups and that's in addition to the race T-shirt and metal. | 00:18:43 | |
| So if you're not first, second or third, you'll get some little metal. | 00:18:53 | |
| Yes, thank you. | 00:18:56 | |
| You're welcome. | 00:18:58 | |
| OK, there's no questions quite yet. Let's go to city, the city clerk to see if there's any public comment on this item. No public | 00:18:59 | |
| comments for this item. There's no public comments on this item. So the recommendation is to review the Community Benefit Fund | 00:19:05 | |
| sponsored run and walk event plan that was presented and provide a approval recommendation to the City Council. Does the | 00:19:11 | |
| Commission have a motion? | 00:19:17 | |
| At this time. | 00:19:24 | |
| I make a motion to approve. | 00:19:26 | |
| And this moved. Is there a second? | 00:19:29 | |
| I'll second the motion. It's been moved and seconded. Let's go ahead and see if we can have any, if there's any discussion on this | 00:19:33 | |
| item. | 00:19:36 | |
| Any Commissioner have any discussion on this item at this time? | 00:19:41 | |
| Well, I just want to thank the staff for this great report, another great event. I think it's going to have a good participation | 00:19:46 | |
| level. It's one of those things each year it's going to get wider and wider outreach just by word of mouth right among among the | 00:19:53 | |
| the running community, in the local community. I think the informational booths is going to be really valuable to bring in those | 00:20:00 | |
| partnerships. I really appreciate the addition of the color run and the kids run. Those are really making it multiple. | 00:20:07 | |
| Multi generational and inclusive and so. | 00:20:15 | |
| I really appreciate that and appreciate the staff support. I know that it's. | 00:20:18 | |
| Going to have a little bit of impact on that neighborhood for a couple of hours, but just a remarkable way of utilizing the beach | 00:20:23 | |
| and and funding it using funds intended for that very purpose. So I just want to thank staff for that. | 00:20:30 | |
| OK, Commissioners, are there any other comments on this item? | 00:20:38 | |
| OK, hearing none. Oh. | 00:20:42 | |
| Any comments? | 00:20:44 | |
| Just again, thank you, Anna for for. | 00:20:46 | |
| Your thoughtful process and putting these events together, you do a nice job and. | 00:20:50 | |
| It's a fun name, see splash color dash. Very creative and I think that it is nice to see. I've watched this race last year from my | 00:20:57 | |
| deck and it's very nice to see the. | 00:21:03 | |
| Amazing participation that we've had. How many did you have, Lester? We had 600 registrant participants and it sold out in one | 00:21:10 | |
| week. | 00:21:14 | |
| Yeah. So I imagine it might be more this year. So that's terrific. Thank you for for the hard work that you do. Thank you. That's | 00:21:19 | |
| all I know. Thank you. | 00:21:23 | |
| Wonderful. Thank you, Commissioner. Any other Commissioners have any comments or questions about this item? | 00:21:27 | |
| OK. It has been moved and seconded. So we're going to go ahead and take a vote on this item all in favor. | 00:21:34 | |
| All opposed hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you. We're now going to move to the next business item. | 00:21:42 | |
| This is the review of the City's legislative platform. Will staff please present the report? | 00:21:49 | |
| So item number three on the agenda pertains the legislative platform. Another item under the Commission's purview is the | 00:21:59 | |
| opportunity to review and make advisory recommendations to the City Council with regard to the cities legislative platform. | 00:22:06 | |
| As noted in the report, the document allows for a prompt response to proposed legislative changes and alleviates the need to go to | 00:22:14 | |
| the City Council each and every time having a platform from which the base the cities position, whether it be the mayor, mayor Pro | 00:22:20 | |
| Tem or the city manager providing a response. | 00:22:25 | |
| During last year's review, the Commission made various recommendations that were presented to the City Council. They considered | 00:22:31 | |
| those in addition to staff recommendations and other items that came up directly from council and adopted the legislative | 00:22:39 | |
| platform. That item is attached and included in the report for your review and once again, this current version, it's an | 00:22:46 | |
| opportunity for the Commission to consider any recommended changes that it wishes. I will Note 2 items that staff. | 00:22:54 | |
| To present to the City Council pertain to. | 00:23:02 | |
| Advocation for legislation that supports equitable, equitable distribution of sales tax revenue from online sales. As some of you | 00:23:06 | |
| may know, in the recent past, we've had a distribution center open up in an adjacent city and that has significantly impacted the | 00:23:14 | |
| amount of sales tax revenue from online sales that the city has received. And then the second item would be? | 00:23:22 | |
| To advocate for legislation that allows FEMA to. | 00:23:31 | |
| More effectively respond to localized disasters. As we will all remember, December of 2023, we had a very localized but very | 00:23:36 | |
| significant local disaster here in Port Hueneme. And based on the overall magnitude, we were not eligible. We, the city, the | 00:23:43 | |
| responders and the individuals that were impacted by the disaster were not eligible for FEMA assistance. And one of the proposed | 00:23:50 | |
| changes is to advocate for legislation that would allow FEMA. | 00:23:58 | |
| Be able to respond me a little bit more nimble and flexible in those types of localized situations that have significant impacts | 00:24:05 | |
| on communities. So those are the two. | 00:24:10 | |
| Topic areas that staff intends to make recommendation to City Council, but again, this is the opportunity for the Commission to | 00:24:16 | |
| consider both of those items in any additional items the Commission may have for the council to consider. | 00:24:23 | |
| Thank you, Mr. Deputy City Manager, does the Council have any questions for staff Only questions will be taken during this time. | 00:24:33 | |
| Comments and discussion will be heard later following. | 00:24:38 | |
| In public comment. | 00:24:43 | |
| OK, City Clerk, do we have any public comments on this item? | 00:24:46 | |
| Dulce Satterfield OK, thank you. And you will have 3 minutes. | 00:24:54 | |
| So I did read through all of the talks that you're considering. | 00:25:01 | |
| I propose adding. | 00:25:06 | |
| Support legislation that aims to strengthen noise awareness in conjunction with the 30th International Noise Awareness Day and | 00:25:09 | |
| where you at It is not my concern. I can see where it might fit here or there and but it's it's more about content and and what | 00:25:15 | |
| drives. | 00:25:21 | |
| This comment that I would hope that there would be more inner jurisdictional support going forward as we have some regional | 00:25:28 | |
| issues, things like Sonic booms and. | 00:25:34 | |
| Umm, so. | 00:25:42 | |
| Various jurisdictions supporting one another in prevention of noise pollution and or. | 00:25:44 | |
| Reduction of chronic or escalating excessive noise situations. | 00:25:51 | |
| Thank you for considering this input. I know it's a very long list of legislative, but the more words that. | 00:26:00 | |
| Other jurisdictions also can consider, I guess, the more vibrant, lively. | 00:26:08 | |
| Discussion comes out of that with legislative action. | 00:26:14 | |
| Thank you. | 00:26:18 | |
| Thank you for your public comment. Any other public comments? That concludes public comment. Thank you. We're now going to move to | 00:26:21 | |
| the recommendation. The recommendation was to conduct a review of this legislative platform, consider the need to recommend | 00:26:26 | |
| changes to the cities councils consideration. | 00:26:32 | |
| Does a Commissioner have a motion at this time? | 00:26:38 | |
| If I tend to do this out of sequence, but we're going to do it, OK, you're going to make, I'll make a motion to accept it and with | 00:26:43 | |
| a what? | 00:26:49 | |
| Deputy City Manager discussed those addition. Is there a second? | 00:26:56 | |
| I'll 2nd that. I also would like to see. I think that given. | 00:27:03 | |
| The incident from last winter, the FEMA edition would be much needed possibly in the future. So that's that's. | 00:27:08 | |
| That's noted and I appreciate the Staffs. | 00:27:16 | |
| Thoughtful consideration and I just want to make sure staff. | 00:27:19 | |
| Feels comfortable with the legislation that they can execute these these policies appropriately and that they're nothing, there's | 00:27:25 | |
| nothing that's in conflict. | 00:27:29 | |
| And so that I think that I think we made a lot of good changes last year. I think I don't have any new changes or additions or | 00:27:35 | |
| thoughts at this time, but thank you for the additional staff recommendations. | 00:27:40 | |
| Thank you. Discussion. Any Commissioners wish? We'll start on this end, Commissioner. | 00:27:47 | |
| I would just like to make a recommendation to the city manager and the city attorney. | 00:27:54 | |
| I'm not an attorney, but I went through everyone of these items. | 00:28:00 | |
| And there to me there's appears to be some conflicts between the art charter, the point where name is charter and the United | 00:28:04 | |
| States Constitution and a few of these items in this list here. And I would just make a recommendation that those two entities | 00:28:10 | |
| actually. | 00:28:16 | |
| Review these things and see if there is conflicts of interest or actually. | 00:28:23 | |
| Problems with these items. | 00:28:28 | |
| In regards to the United States Constitution. | 00:28:31 | |
| And the state constitution. | 00:28:34 | |
| OK, thank you, Commissioner. Any other Commissioner comments? | 00:28:38 | |
| What we can do is walk through the pages. It doesn't sound like there's going to be a lot to acknowledge, but let's do pages one | 00:28:45 | |
| through 3, and I'm looking at the page numbers within the document itself. | 00:28:51 | |
| And one there. | 00:29:03 | |
| OK. | 00:29:11 | |
| Any comments on pages one through 3? | 00:29:18 | |
| Our recommendations. | 00:29:22 | |
| OK. | 00:29:30 | |
| Not seeing any? We're going to go to Let's Go pages 4 through. | 00:29:32 | |
| 6. | 00:29:37 | |
| Of the document. | 00:29:38 | |
| One thing I'll note and it's. | 00:29:41 | |
| It's also kind of implied here under a number 11 open meetings. | 00:29:43 | |
| Considering really calling out ensuring that the city has the flexibility to hold virtual meetings. | 00:29:50 | |
| Whether the City Council participation City Council member participation virtually. | 00:29:57 | |
| Or to hold Commission meetings when deemed necessary virtually. That would be my suggestion is just ensuring that there's local | 00:30:02 | |
| control over that that the city had during the pandemic and and doesn't currently have. | 00:30:09 | |
| So that would be my suggestion under the Open Open Meeting Law section. | 00:30:17 | |
| OK, pages 6:00 and 7:00 any. | 00:30:23 | |
| Any comments on these pages? | 00:30:28 | |
| I have a comment. | 00:30:43 | |
| F of public protection F. | 00:30:45 | |
| Says support legislation that would enhance local control over public new nuisances, including but not limited to adult | 00:30:49 | |
| entertainment facilities. Problem alcohol establishments and properties are illegal, drugs are sold. | 00:30:57 | |
| Now, to me, that's in conflict with federal law. | 00:31:05 | |
| But this is my personal I believe. | 00:31:13 | |
| This issue was brought up when they were. | 00:31:16 | |
| Setting up the marijuana stuff, but. | 00:31:19 | |
| I'm coming. | 00:31:23 | |
| Thank you, Commissioner. | 00:31:26 | |
| Any other feedback on these pages? | 00:31:29 | |
| OK, let's walk through that was pages 6:00 and 7:00. | 00:31:36 | |
| When the home stretch here, let's look at pages 8 and 9. Anything on page 8:00 and 9:00? | 00:31:41 | |
| Yeah, I would just add just flagging for staff. I know they they will already be doing this, but under resources and environment, | 00:32:12 | |
| it doesn't need to be listed here, but I'm under #2 the California Environmental Quality Act and also under the disaster | 00:32:18 | |
| management sections. | 00:32:23 | |
| Just monitoring what's going on, the LA fires and the legislation that will be coming out of that. I know the governor, for | 00:32:30 | |
| example, in order to help with recovery, is actually utilizing some of his powers to suspend Sequa and some of the rebuilding. So | 00:32:36 | |
| I think just watching that space and being aware of how it would impact a place that's susceptible to flooding and erosion like | 00:32:42 | |
| like Port Hueneme. | 00:32:48 | |
| OK, any any comments on pages 8-9 and 10? | 00:32:56 | |
| I'd like to just make a comment on 6 energy on page. | 00:33:07 | |
| Then. | 00:33:12 | |
| That's a support legislation about alternative energy sources. | 00:33:14 | |
| I'd like to see something in there about if. | 00:33:19 | |
| That. | 00:33:22 | |
| Alternative Alternative energy sources are supported by scientific data or some type of support. | 00:33:25 | |
| Yeah, OK. I think that's agreeable. | 00:33:33 | |
| Anything on pages 11:00 and 12:00? | 00:33:37 | |
| I know we're going at a breakneck space speed here, but we're getting through it. | 00:33:48 | |
| OK, anything on pages 11:00 and 12:00? | 00:33:54 | |
| OK, let's go through pages 13 through 15 and then that will include this item. Anything on those pages? | 00:33:59 | |
| OK, Commissioners, any, any notes on pages 1314 or 15? | 00:34:52 | |
| On 14 law enforcement. | 00:34:58 | |
| I'd like to see something added about support for legislation that increases communication between law enforcement and federal | 00:35:01 | |
| agencies. | 00:35:05 | |
| Staff will make note of that and see if it can fit in there somewhere. | 00:35:13 | |
| Thank you. | 00:35:17 | |
| Any other? | 00:35:24 | |
| Any other notes? OK, we're going to zoom out to the whole document overall. Any additional feedback for staff on this item? | 00:35:26 | |
| Perhaps we can just note there in the notes in this item, not necessarily brought forward the Council, but just the concern shared | 00:35:36 | |
| about the noise awareness. We can just note that for. | 00:35:41 | |
| Kind of watch that space for future cycles. | 00:35:47 | |
| OK, there has been a motion and seconded a second on this item. | 00:35:52 | |
| City Clerk, do you mind taking a vote? | 00:35:56 | |
| All in favor, aye. All opposed Hearing none. Motion passes unanimously. Thank you and thank you to the staff that work hard on on | 00:36:01 | |
| developing that and we'll be bringing it forward to the council. | 00:36:07 | |
| So now we're going to turn to our next item, which is staff comments. Staff, do you have any comments? | 00:36:14 | |
| The only comment slash announcement I wanted to to make for the general public's knowledge and also just to remind commissioners | 00:36:22 | |
| last year. | 00:36:26 | |
| The Commission spent some time reviewing and providing recommendations with regard to the Community Benefit Fund process and as | 00:36:31 | |
| part of the action that Council took in adopting a new process beginning February, the beginning of February, Monday, February 3rd | 00:36:39 | |
| is the first working day in February will be opening up the applications and inviting people to apply for Community Benefit Fund. | 00:36:47 | |
| Dollars according to the the new established process. So I wanted to let the Commission know about that and also for anyone | 00:36:57 | |
| listening to make sure that they they keep their eyes open. We'll have it available on our website. We'll promote it through | 00:37:01 | |
| social media. | 00:37:05 | |
| We'll probably also have some hard copies of the application available at public counters so people can start thinking about and | 00:37:10 | |
| preparing for requests for Community Benefit Fund dollars in the very near future. | 00:37:17 | |
| Thank you. Any other staff comments? | 00:37:27 | |
| OK, Thank you. We're now going to move to the next item, which is commissioner comments. We'll start on this side. Do any of the | 00:37:30 | |
| commissioner, commissioners have any comments? | 00:37:34 | |
| I was there. | 00:37:39 | |
| I do, I want to, I just want to thank all the staff when I came to the council meeting in December when we did the state of the | 00:37:42 | |
| City address. | 00:37:49 | |
| It was remarkable, the work that has been done in this past year by our city. It was I was very impressed with all the work that | 00:37:56 | |
| you all have done. | 00:38:00 | |
| Umm, I think that's the most accomplishments I've seen in a long time. You guys have been busy and I want to thank you all for a | 00:38:05 | |
| great job and it's. | 00:38:09 | |
| Very much appreciated by all of the citizens of the city, so thank you. | 00:38:15 | |
| Thank you, Commissioner. | 00:38:22 | |
| I hope everybody had a restful holiday season. I hope, you know, between Christmas and, and Hanukkah, and I mean, those overlapped | 00:38:25 | |
| a lot this year. So and then New Year's finally, I, I of course, need to acknowledge the Los Angeles fires that are happening. I | 00:38:31 | |
| know some and in our community are definitely impacted, if not volunteering down there, I know even some city and municipal staff | 00:38:38 | |
| elsewhere in the county that are down there. | 00:38:45 | |
| Assisting. | 00:38:53 | |
| And so, you know, continuing to watch that space, you know, those are our neighbors to the South. And, you know, many lives were | 00:38:54 | |
| lost and that in that fire. And I know they're continuing on that search too. And so, of course, as I always say, may their | 00:39:00 | |
| memories be a blessing. And I hope that I. | 00:39:06 | |
| We're there to help help them recover and also welcome them when many of them will need to relocate, possibly to Ventura County | 00:39:14 | |
| temporarily. So in places like Port Hueneme and Oxnard, Ventura, Macy, individuals, especially from the Palisades that need need | 00:39:20 | |
| to find homes. So be on the lookout for that. | 00:39:27 | |
| And also additionally, there's going to be some additional measures around. | 00:39:36 | |
| Price gouging that might be taking place in Ventura County as a result of the emergency in Los Angeles County. So please be on the | 00:39:41 | |
| lookout for that information coming out, including rent, rent and another price gouging because of the influx from the Palisades | 00:39:48 | |
| especially. So be on the lookout for that. There's the public safety shut off that are happening. I know we're aware of, but I | 00:39:55 | |
| know I have friends in the Thousand Oaks region that been without power for four days. | 00:40:01 | |
| So it's a good reminder to look at. | 00:40:09 | |
| What we can do to be prepared as individuals and what the city can do. | 00:40:12 | |
| So with that, that concludes my public comments. The next regular quarterly meeting of this body will be Monday, April 14th at | 00:40:16 | |
| 4:00 PM located here. The meeting is now adjourned at 4:37 PM. Thank you, everybody. Thank you for your time. | 00:40:23 |
