	And good evening, everyone. We are going to now call tonight's meeting to order.	00:02:11
	It is now 630.	00:02:17
	Welcome to our meeting.	00:02:20
	Madam Clerk, can you take role?	00:02:22
	I'm sorry, let's stand for flag salute.	00:02:24
	Right.	00:02:31
	Ready. Begin.	00:02:32
	Of the United States of America.	00:02:36
	And to the Republic.	00:02:38
	One nation under God.	00:02:41
	Thank you.	00:02:49
	Madam Clerk, roll call, please, Councilmember Gama.	00:02:50
	Here, Councilmember Hernandez.	00:02:54
	Councilmember Perez here, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez here and Mayor McQueen La Shawn here.	00:02:57
	I will now move to the inspiration given by Mayor Pro Tem.	00:03:03
	Lopez.	00:03:07
	Thank you.	00:03:08
	Welcome.	00:03:10
	This was a.	00:03:14
	Gave us a lot of thought over the weekend.	00:03:15
	And uh.	00:03:18
	You know, poor Wayne, Amy, where we're dealing with.	00:03:21
	A lot of uncertainty and.	00:03:22
	A lot of tension.	00:03:25
	A lot of anxiety within our community and.	00:03:27
	You know, you can kind of fill it just.	00:03:30
	Walking around.	00:03:32
	And so to me, I thought it was important to to talk to it.	00:03:33
	So to the people of Port Hueneme.	00:03:38
	In these uncertain times, with fear, echoes in our neighborhoods and the shadows of mass deportation grow stronger.	00:03:41
	I want to speak directly to it.	00:03:48
	To our families, our workers, our students.	00:03:49
	Our elders to every neighbor who calls.	00:03:52
	Port Hueneme home.	00:03:55
	Our story, like others in this nation, is built upon those who came to seek a better life for the original Chumash Indians who	00:03:58
	cared for this land.	00:04:02
	To Thomas Bard, who saw opportunity in a coastal town.	00:04:07
	Port Winemi has always been a place where hope takes.	00:04:11
	Route We are dock workers, teachers, scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers.	00:04:14
	Farm laborers. Students chasing dreams.	00:04:21
	We are mothers, fathers, daughters, sons.	00:04:24
	We may come from different places.	00:04:27
	But here we are united by the promise of opportunity and the pursuit of dignity.	00:04:29
	This nation, at its very heart, is a nation of immigrants.	00:04:35
	Each generation brought you with.	00:04:39
	With not just its labor, but its love.	00:04:42
	Not just in streams, but its determination.	00:04:45
	This legacy lives not just in history books, but in the pulse of our city.	00:04:48
	In the laughter at our beaches.	00:04:53
	The fun at our.	00:04:55
	The voices at the port in the spirit of our local businesses and the community we are shaping.	00:04:58
	To everyone here at port, my name is feeling afraid.	00:05:04
	Or uncertain.	00:05:07
	You belong.	00:05:08
	Your story, your presence.	00:05:10
	Your contributions is not only valued, it's vital.	00:05:12
	Now is the time for us to come together.	00:05:15
	In the face of fear, let us choose courage.	00:05:18
	In the face of division.	00:05:21
	Let us choose unity.	00:05:23
	And in the face of injustice, let us speak.	00:05:26
	Up not just for each other.	00:05:29
	But for the values that define us human dignity, compassion, justice.	00:05:31
	These are not just words, they are commitments.	00:05:37
	And now, more than ever, they must guide us. Let us move forward.	00:05:40
	Apart, let us lead not with anger, but with love.	00:05:44
	And let Port Hueneme stand as the light in the darkness, a city that chooses humanity over hate.	00:05:47
	And hope over fear.	00:05:54
	And let us live up to our motto.	00:05:55
	The friendly city by the sea.	00:05:57
	Thank you.	00:05:59
	Great. Thank you.	00:06:01
	Thank you, Mayor Pro Temp.	00:06:02
	Now we're going to move on to public comments. These are public comments.	00:06:04
	Not pertaining to an agenda item. Public comments are limited to 3 minutes.	00:06:10
	Madam Clerk, we have public comments.	00:06:15
	Yes, we have a few public comments. First will be Joan Tharp, followed by Greg Ross.	00:06:17
	Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem for those words.	00:06:30
	City Council, mayor, mayor, Pro Tem and staff and public.	00:06:33
	I'm here representing Ventura Surfrider and I just wanted to let everybody know you should have gotten your invitations today.	00:06:38
	That we are doing our kickoff for a restoration program out at the Wannemie Beach Park in 2 1/2 acres of dunes on June 28th.	00:06:45
	I hope that you can all make it, spread the word. Everybody's invited public, all the staff.	00:06:53
	Like love to have as many people out there as possible.	00:06:59
	We're going to do that from 9:00 to 11:00. We'll meet up around the memorial area, parking lot B.	00:07:02
	And we're going to do a brief welcome, have some coffee and pastries, do an explanation of what we're planning to do with the	00:07:10
	restoration and why it's important.	00:07:15
	We'll do a little tour if anybody wants to wander around in the sand, so where your appropriate shoes?	00:07:20
	And then for anybody that wants to get their hands dirty, we're going to do about an hour of pulling invasive species.	00:07:26
	I also just want to thank the city, the city staff particularly. I just wanted to do a shout out to public works.	00:07:33
	Everybody has been so helpful in supporting Surfrider in all of our programs and campaigns.	00:07:40
	From the hold on to your program to Blue water Task Force our cleanups.	00:07:46
	We're going to be putting up some more ash cans in the new Bubbling Springs park.	00:07:51
	Did a walk through the other day and we're gonna put those up in the next month or so.	00:07:58
	And also in May we did a cleanup of.	00:08:03
	70 people showed up was amazing.	00:08:07
	Pulled about 270 lbs of trash out of Bubbling Springs park and this is a brand new park so it was a little.	00:08:09
	Daunting that we've got so much trash out of there, but I did have my my volunteers complaining there wasn't enough trash. They're	00:08:15
	used to pulling thousands of pounds off.	00:08:19
	The beach, so you know.	00:08:24
	Go figure.	00:08:26
	But anyway, I just wanted to again announce the kickoff.	00:08:27
	And then we're going to be doing.	00:08:32
	Restoration project on the 1st Saturday of every month, starting with the dirtiest beach day of the year which is July 5th.	00:08:35
	We're going to combine that with the cleanup at Wanimi Beach and I'm sure that there will be other people out there doing cleanup	00:08:43
	too.	00:08:46
	So if you can come out whenever you can, we'd love that. And again, thank you so much, City of Portland, this is a great place to	00:08:49
	live and work and volunteer. Thank you.	00:08:54
	Thank you.	00:08:59
	Good evening, Mayor.	00:09:10
	Mayor Pro Tem.	00:09:13
	You're in. It was a great speech.	00:09:15
	Now I know why you got elected.	00:09:18
	And council members.	00:09:21
	Thank you for listening. I've lived in Ventura County since 1970.	00:09:23
	Port Wayne, ME since the early 2000s.	00:09:27
	And again.	00:09:31
	We love this city.	00:09:33
	I attended the.	00:09:35
	Coffee with the city.	00:09:37
	And was amazed to see.	00:09:39
	James Vega and Jess Lopez.	00:09:42
	Mayor Jean.	00:09:45
	Mr. Gama, thank you for coming and thank you for listening.	00:09:47
	There aren't too many cities that do that, and especially when I.	00:09:51
	Say, hey, what about this and?	00:09:55
	I get an e-mail this morning from Mr. Vega and it's like.	00:09:58
	Wow, somebody got back to me. This is great.	00:10:01
	This wouldn't happen anywhere else.	00:10:04
	So again, my hat's off to you.	00:10:06
	I said in front of you.	00:10:09
	I hope you have this.	00:10:11
	A little sheet.	00:10:12
	About the port.	00:10:14
	This is my.	00:10:15
	My through my mantra, if you will.	00:10:16
	The the port I'll remind you is the closest cargo port.	00:10:20
	On the West Coast to residential areas, especially high density residential area.	00:10:25
	So what we what we have to put up with as a city or neighbors?	00:10:30
	Our noise pollution trucks.	00:10:34
	ETC. And I want to remind you that we're on the other side of the westerly winds from.	00:10:38
	Carpentry at the Malibu.	00:10:45
	So the winds are blowing the noise.	00:10:47
	The pollution etc towards us.	00:10:49
	So my my 4 points here are pretty easy.	00:10:52
	You can read them yourself. I won't. I won't go into it to any two major detail, but the the truckers.	00:10:56
	We've I've asked the Harbor Commission.	00:11:03
	District.	00:11:06
	To post a sign for the truckers to layoff their horns as much as they can.	00:11:07
	And that sign didn't get put up.	00:11:12
	So the the commissioners, they they nod and sometimes they get off their phone to look at me.	00:11:14
	But.	00:11:20
	They don't react.	00:11:21
	So that's not right. That's not being a good neighbor.	00:11:23
	The ships are leaving the port and they're violating.	00:11:26
	Our city ordinance about noise.	00:11:29
	So this morning, even this morning, very morning, 5:55 AM.	00:11:31
	Ships leaving the harbor.	00:11:36
	Boom, big loud Longhorn from the ship.	00:11:38
	Can't that ship leave at 7:00? Let's the city ordinance for noise.	00:11:42
	Nope, I guess not.	00:11:48
	Anyway you can read this? Please, please do. We've got.	00:11:49
	Pollution coming our way, smells, fuel, fuel leaks, etcetera.	00:11:55
	And they're not responding.	00:12:00
	They just don't respond.	00:12:01
	So I thank you for listening.	00:12:03
	Austin Yang and then followed by Brooke felt the Sir.	00:12:07
	Good evening, Mayor McKinnon is on.	00:12:17
	Pratim.	00:12:20
	Member of the Council.	00:12:21
	Mr. Vega and silly step and.	00:12:23
	Citizens over this beautiful city.	00:12:25
	My name is Austin Young. I'm Chief Financial Officer at the Port of Anemi.	00:12:27
	I brought my statement here so.	00:12:32
	I hate.	00:12:35
	What age does to your eyes right so.	00:12:36
	The port and the city has shared long standing and productive working relationship.	00:12:39
	And the Port City Standing Committee has played a vital role in fostering that collaboration.	00:12:45
	The Port City Standing Committee was established way before 2015.	00:12:51
	We have a meeting minutes from as early as 2009.	00:12:56
	In 2015, as a part of settlement between the port and the city.	00:13:00
	Both parties mutually agreed to use the Port City Standing Committee as a venue.	00:13:04
	For discussion related to the.	00:13:10
	Late to community benefit fund.	00:13:13
	This the CBF is one example of many.	00:13:16
	Important topic that can be addressed through this joint committee.	00:13:19
	Any issue related to the port and the city can be initially brought to the Port City Standing Committee for doppel discussion.	00:13:23
	From there.	00:13:32
	Committee members may bring those you know issues back to their respected governing bodies for further consideration and action.	00:13:33
	We believe the Port City Standing Committee remains A valuable platform.	00:13:41
	Where the sea and the port can bring forward.	00:13:46
	Creative, innovative and collaborative ideas that benefit.	00:13:48
	Not only our respective agencies.	00:13:53
	But also the, you know, broader community we serve.	00:13:55
	Thank you again for opportunity tonight to speak and we look forward to continued.	00:13:59
	You know partnership. Thank you.	00:14:04
	Thank you. Past question, was that related to item?	00:14:07
	18.	00:14:12
	I don't know.	00:14:14
	I was thinking that as well but that's OK. He's already given the comment.	00:14:15
	Yeah, but so we could discuss the comment later, but not now.	00:14:19
	Yes, let's do that later.	00:14:23
	Yeah. I would suggest it's close enough to that item that we should discuss it at that time. Yeah.	00:14:24
	Thank you.	00:14:29
	Benny, you'll be after Brooke.	00:14:31
	OK, good evening, Fort Wayne, ME City Council. My name is Brooke, and I'm the community organizing manager at a local nonprofit	00:14:33
	called Climate First, Replacing Oil and Gas or Sea Frog.	00:14:39
	I am also a neighboring resident living in South Oxnard, and I'm here today to ask you to take action to protect Port Wine EMI and	00:14:44
	its residents from the affordability and climate crises that we're seeing unfold today.	00:14:50
	I am respectfully asking you to direct city staff to draft a resolution in support of the California Polluter Pays Climate	00:14:56
	Superfund Act.	00:14:59
	Or AB1243 and SP684.	00:15:03
	This is a critical piece of legislation that would hold polluters accountable to the damages they have caused while all.	00:15:06
	Also protecting taxpayers and our state and local budgets from shouldering the billion dollar cleanup costs for climate related	00:15:12
	disasters.	00:15:15
	Californians in Port Hueneme residents are facing an affordability crisis.	00:15:19
	From increased insurance costs to higher costs of living to the costs on our health and safety, Californians have paid enough.	00:15:24
	At the same time, we're seeing federal funding cuts to FEMA and the stripping of environmental protections.	00:15:30
	And beyond this, Californians are facing a $12 billion budget deficit, resulting in funding cuts to essential programs and	00:15:36
	services that Port Winnie, Me residents likely rely on.	00:15:41
	With climate related disasters projected to increase in frequency and severity, we desperately need another source of state	00:15:46
	funding that does not rely on taxpayers.	00:15:51
	Which is why the polluter Pays Climate Superfund Act is so important.	00:15:55
	This bill is modeled on other successful Superfund acts such as CIRCLE and the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act.	00:15:59
	And it would direct Cali, Pennsylvania, to identify the fossil fuel companies that have admitted the largest levels of pollution	00:16:06
	in our state from 1990 to 2024.	00:16:10
	The companies would then be assigned a fee proportional to those emissions, which would be less than 1% of their trillion dollar	00:16:14
	profits and can be paid over a 20 year period. So it's not a big financial hardship.	00:16:20
	The fees collected would go into a Superfund and that funding would go directly towards efforts such as climate mitigation and	00:16:25
	adaptation.	00:16:29
	Grid resiliency and infrastructure, green jobs, resilient schools, and so much more.	00:16:33
	At least 40% of the funding will go to disadvantaged communities and those hit hardest by climate disasters and pollution.	00:16:38
	As a coastal community in the fastest warming county in the lower United States and overly burdened by industry pollution.	00:16:44
	Poor Juan Amy would more than likely benefit from the passage of this bill.	00:16:51
	We'd see much needed funding being brought to our communities to address issues such as sea level rise, electrifying port	00:16:55
	infrastructure, grid reliability and resilience, first responder and community preparedness.	00:17:01
	Workforce development and so much more.	00:17:07
	That is why I'm asking you to direct city staff to draft a resolution in support of the California Polluter Pays Climate Superfund	00:17:09
	Act.	00:17:13
	Many other cities across the state have passed similar resolutions and I would be happy to follow up and share those with staff in	00:17:16
	case it's helpful.	00:17:20
	Please help us protect taxpayers and hold polluters accountable. It is time we put people before profit. Thank you.	00:17:24
	Thank you.	00:17:30
	Hello.	00:17:40
	Mayor Pro Tem, thank you for your words at the beginning of the meeting.	00:17:41
	I know many of us in this room agree with you wholeheartedly.	00:17:45
	I'll be issuing a statement similar to Brooke.	00:17:49
	My name is Ben Mullick and I'm I live in the condominium complex of Anacapa View right off Ventura Rd. here in Port Hueneme.	00:17:52
	I'm here today to ask the Port Wyoming City Council to draft a resolution in support of the polluters pay bill.	00:18:00
	SB684.	00:18:05
	Currently making its way through the California State Legislature.	00:18:07
	This bill would establish a climate Superfund administered by CALP EPA by placing fines on the major fossil fuel companies.	00:18:10
	Thereby holding them financially responsible for environmental damages in California.	00:18:17
	Port Wiley EMI has long been a city that has faced environmental degradation.	00:18:21
	From our fragile coastlines to our diminished air quality.	00:18:25
	Our city is also under budgetary strain due to rising insurance costs and the need for continual sand dredging around Winnemi	00:18:28
	Beach.	00:18:32
	The establishment of a Superfund through the Polluters pay bill would open up new sources of revenue for our city.	00:18:35
	And would also provide the necessary funds to protect the communities.	00:18:40
	Most in danger from our changing climate.	00:18:44
	Thank you for your time, I do appreciate it.	00:18:46
	Thank you.	00:18:49
	Came here and then we have a few written public comments.	00:18:51
	Dear Winnie me City Council members, I urge you to pass the resolution in support of the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund bill. The	00:18:55
	funds from a tax on big oil companies would help our state invest in climate change resilience.	00:19:00
	The money could also be used to help homeowners invest in ways to protect their homes.	00:19:07
	From future wildfires.	00:19:11
	It's obvious that climate change is here to stay, and we need the resources to deal with it.	00:19:13
	The Polluters pay bill will provide those resources while holding Big Oil accountable for misleading the public about climate	00:19:18
	change.	00:19:21
	Thank you for your time and consideration, Kristin Kessler.	00:19:25
	Hello, I'm with the Ventura County Climate Alliance and a resident of a neighboring coastal community, and I am writing to urge	00:19:30
	the city staff to draft a resolution in support of the California Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act AB1243-SB684.	00:19:37
	With increasing natural disasters impacting our communities and cuts to FEMA and other federal support, it is more important now	00:19:45
	than ever to fund natural disaster relief.	00:19:49
	Climate resilience and a transition to clean energy.	00:19:54
	This legislation will do just that by charging the largest fossil fuel companies less than 0 point.	00:19:57
	1% of their profits to pay for the damages they have knowingly caused through their greenhouse gas emissions.	00:20:02
	California taxpayers have paid enough and continue to do so through rising cost of living.	00:20:08
	It is time to hold polluters accountable.	00:20:13
	Port Hueneme and the rest of California deserve support to address concerns such as sea level rise, energy grid reliability, green	00:20:16
	jobs, climate resilient schools, and more. I'm once again asking the City of Port Hueneme to draft a resolution to support the	00:20:23
	passage of the Climate Superfund Act, AB1243-SB684. Sincerely, Lauren Leland.	00:20:30
	Dear Port Wyoming City Council, those of us who live in Port Hueneme, along with all Californians, must contend with two	00:20:39
	unprecedented crises.	00:20:43
	The crisis of growing climate devastation and the crisis of affordability.	00:20:48
	Each of these intertwined crisis has significantly stretched our stressed our state and local budgets, and each threatens to erode	00:20:52
	our quality of life beyond recognition.	00:20:57
	There is now a state bill going through committees that would, in a fair, legal and practical way, address both of these crises.	00:21:02
	The polluters pay.	00:21:10
	Climate Superfund Act AB1243-SB684 has enormous grassroots support as well as that of many elected state and local leaders.	00:21:12
	Supporters also include labor groups, environmental champions, business owners, doctors, nurses, among others.	00:21:21
	Hearing from you would encourage state legislators to support the bill.	00:21:27
	Will you direct staff to prepare a resolution indicating your support?	00:21:31
	Anyone who reads the bill and takes the time to understand its implications will agree that not only does it make sense.	00:21:35
	It is also the right thing to do for a moral perspective.	00:21:41
	Why? Because it shifts the burden of paying for disaster repair, recovery and prevention from those least able to pay for it.	00:21:45
	To those who have profited for years while paying nothing for the damage their products have caused.	00:21:52
	Even enjoying subsidies at the same time.	00:21:56
	This is about paying their fair share.	00:21:59
	The bill would direct Cal EPA to conduct a climate cost study and use climate attribution science to identify and assess A	00:22:01
	proportional fee from the fossil fuel companies with the most GHG emissions.	00:22:07
	From 1992.	00:22:13
	Through 2024.	00:22:15
	The fee would be paid into a Superfund.	00:22:17
	The funding will go directly to rebuilding climate mitigation and resiliency efforts, frontline communities, green workforce	00:22:19
	development, and more.	00:22:23
	Additionally, 40% of the funding will be allocated to these efforts within disadvantaged communities.	00:22:26
	Please use your influence to pass this legislation. State legislators care what you think. With your support, this bill can help	00:22:32
	us meet these two crises ahead on.	00:22:36
	Addressing impacts which we are now feeling on a daily basis in Port, Wyoming and the rest of the world.	00:22:41
	Respectfully, Kathleen Willer.	00:22:46
	Deer Port Wine Amy City Council I would like to alert the City Council of two California legislative bills called Polluters Pay	00:22:50
	Climate Superfund SB-684-AB1243 that would establish a fund to help communities most affected by the climate crisis. This fund	00:22:56
	would come from the biggest polluters who currently pay nothing for the cost of doing business, while taxpayers, families and	00:23:03
	small businesses and municipalities pay for the cost of climate damages and health harms.	00:23:09
	We have all paid enough.	00:23:16
	Your city would benefit from the Superfund and could help pay for the regular dredging required to keep the city from flooding and	00:23:17
	the difficulty getting the funds to keep the city.	00:23:22
	And his residents safe.	00:23:26
	To date, there are eighty elected officials, plus more than 200 nonprofits and more than 100,000 signatures of residents in	00:23:28
	support of the bills.	00:23:31
	Similar bills have been passed in BT and in New York.	00:23:35
	Sorry Vermont, in New York, please direct your staff to directors. Resolution in support of the polluter pays bills.	00:23:39
	Thank you, Francis Lee, concerned citizen of Ventura County.	00:23:44
	A moment of thanks. Last Wednesday, June 11th, the city sponsored a coffee with the city where various city representatives.	00:23:49
	Met at a local coffee shop and interacted with many city residents during the course of one hour.	00:23:56
	This excellent city offering has been one of great value to citizens as we are given the opportunity.	00:24:01
	Outside of a structured council meeting or an appointment to meet with and seek information.	00:24:07
	From many departments at one time.	00:24:12
	At this last meeting, the city manager, police chief, deputy city manager, public works director, mayor, some council members and	00:24:14
	various other staff engaged with public addressing questions.	00:24:19
	And also learning of our concerns.	00:24:24
	It was also a great opportunity to meet our newest council member and Mayor Pro Tem, Jess Lopez.	00:24:27
	The only thing that could have made this event but even better was if Officer Giorgio had made a cameo appearance.	00:24:32
	There were a few canine residents present that you could tell we're looking forward to meeting and welcoming a local hero.	00:24:39
	At the end, we all came away better informed and more confident that the city was truly listening to us.	00:24:45
	Our city is small and our staff wears many hats.	00:24:51
	But all share a commitment to public service and making a difference for our city.	00:24:53
	I hope this annual meeting tradition continues and for that reason I took the time to share how much it is appreciated.	00:24:57
	Thank you for taking time to take the pulse of the city kindly, Juliet.	00:25:03
	And that concludes the general public comments.	00:25:08
	Mayor, if I could just note so the because we received several comments about the polluters pay bill.	00:25:12
	The and requests to create a resolution related to that.	00:25:19
	We umm.	00:25:25
	I know the council knows this but I'll say it more for the people that commented is we are not able to discuss or.	00:25:27
	Pass that resolution tonight because it's not on the agenda.	00:25:33
	But at the end of the meeting.	00:25:37
	If it's desired, Council could request it as a future agenda item, so thank you.	00:25:39
	Great. I just want to thank everyone for your public comments. We'll now move on to the approval of the agenda.	00:25:44
	May I have a motion and a second?	00:25:50

	be by our city manager.	00:40:16
	Yeah, and I'm going to hand it off to Frank Montalongo, who is helping to.	00:40:21
	Coordinate the event and he's going to tell us a little bit about what to expect because it is somehow almost time for Beach Fest.	00:40:25
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council members.	00:40:53
	I am here today on behalf of, obviously, the City of Port. We need the police explorers for this year's Winnie Me Beach Festival.	00:40:56
	So the festival this year would take place on take place on July 12th and 13.	00:41:03
	From 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, once again we'll be having free parking and free entrance for the entire community.	00:41:08
	The festival layout this year will consist of Ocean View Drive, will be used as a main entrance walkway and feature a first a 10	00:41:16
	information booth, food and general retail.	00:41:20
	Stalls Parking lot B will be used for our host.	00:41:25

	Additional food vendors, arts and crafts, and a secondary alcohol serving area.	00:41:37
	The Winimi Beach will be used on Saturday the 12th for a competitive beach soccer tournament.	00:41:42
	And on Surfside Drive it will remain open, so there'll be no impeding traffic.	00:41:46
	So flow traffic will continue just like last year with the open, the open plan for the right away.	00:41:50
	So for entertainment on Saturday, we're going to start off once again with our high school marching band competition. We're going	00:42:23
	to have Challenge High School, Winimi High School.	00:42:28
	And Oxnard High School and the Portland POA will be making a donation to each one of the organizations for coming out to our	00:42:32
	festival to perform.	00:42:36
	We're then going to continue with the Hero Lord presentation.	00:42:40
	And following after that, we'll have the Red Hot Chola Peppers, which is a.	00:42:43
	Red Hot Chili Peppers cover ban.	00:42:47
	I know the name. And then we're gonna continue with In Stone and then finish the evening, record us on them. And throughout the	00:42:50
	day, DJ Depeche will be playing DJ music as a band transition for the festival.	00:42:56
	Then on Sunday we're going to open the morning with Bruno and the Hooligans once again. We're then going to kick it off with the	00:43:02
	Kings of Queen, a Queen cover band and then finish the afternoon with Band 11 and Also and Los Arcones of a Hill will be playing	00:43:08
	in the evening and DJ Depeche Mode will be playing throughout the festival as well.	00:43:13
	Then on Saturday for the beach parking for the beach soccer tournament, they'll be on the West side of the pier for their event on	00:43:20
	Saturday, they'll have 10 soccer fields.	00:43:24
	The estimate between 150 to 200 athletes competing and competing and competitive.	00:43:29
	Soccer games and they averaged about four to 500 spectators for this event.	00:43:34
	So our hope is with the festival going on in the tournament, we'll get those individuals be able to come to our festival as we're	00:43:38
	waiting for their additional games to go on throughout the day.	00:43:42
	Then we have our youth poster contest once again, As you'll see, all the posters have been hung up.	00:43:48
	For this year, we had over 200 entries. We have not selected a winner yet because some of the committee members were out on them.	00:43:53
	We're out of the office, so we're working on that, but the winners will receive.	00:43:58
	A $350.00 prize from sponsored by Luhan Transportation.	00:44:03
	We're going to have two elementary school winners, a junior high and a high school winner. We plan on announcing the winners,	00:44:08
	presenting them with their award at the Beach festival as well on Saturday.	00:44:13
	This year.	00:44:17
	Then we have our once again our Hang Tan Carnival Fun Zone Presale Carnival tickets are on sale right now $30.00 for 10 rides and	00:44:20
	encourage the community to take advantage of the sale because it does save you.	00:44:25
	Quite a bit of money if you do the pre sell for the rides and the pre sale will end on July 11th. You either could scan the QR	00:44:31
	code or go to the website and the link is there where you could purchase your tickets.	00:44:36
	For we also this year sent out resident mailers. I'm not sure if anybody received them yet in their mail, but it should have been	00:44:42
	included in the water bill.	00:44:46
	So this is the exact Miller that went in. It has the outline with the information of the beach festival with the QR code and take	00:44:50
	you to the website.	00:44:53
	We also included the pre sale tickets and the explorers ended up sponsoring this and covering the cost because we included our	00:44:56
	join today for the portion police explorer so we could get the entire city of Winnie me residents information for the explore	00:45:01
	program. So we thought about it the different way to be able to get our information out to get.	00:45:07
	Get more recruits in.	00:45:13
	Currently we have 7 attending our Academy starting next week. They were actually prepping right now so they'll be starting their	00:45:14
	police Academy and graduating.	00:45:18
	On July 12th from their Explore Academy, hopefully.	00:45:22
	And then for our sponsors, so our goal, I just want to give recognition to our sponsors. For gold sponsors, we have Skunk Masters,	00:45:26
	Portaway, Nimi, Darvik Productions will be handling our stage and audio this year. And while in this from the port, our silver	00:45:31
	sponsors for the High Vacation Club and E Rentals.	00:45:36
	And then our bronze sponsors were Leona, renewed by Anderson Lowers College.	00:45:41
	Farm fresh to you, Ventura County coast.	00:45:45
	A new addition, the Liberty Military Housing group, so they are actually going to get the information for the festival out to a	00:45:48
	lot of our military.	00:45:51
	Families of communities in the area outside of Winnie me and the neighboring cities. So that should be a big help as well. The	00:45:55
	Clean Power Alliance and then carnies as a brother.	00:45:59
	Any questions?	00:46:05
	Any questions?	00:46:07
	Councilmember Kama.	00:46:08
	So I was really surprised to see that one.	00:46:10
	Piece of art.	00:46:12
	Were you promoting that one? Because that's kind of like the one I liked. No, I just, I just took one on random today when we were	00:46:14
	getting the PowerPoint. So again, there's a lot of great artwork. So we just, we haven't, we haven't decided about the committee.	00:46:19
	We've been getting emails and a bunch of different, everyone submitting different posters that they like.	00:46:25
	So we just got to sit down and come to a consensus of who's going to win.	00:46:30
	OK, well.	00:46:35
	Think you know her?	00:46:36
	My favorite?	00:46:37
	In other words, you have to wait until beach festival. My daughter is.	00:46:38
	Any other questions?	00:46:44
	I did have one question and follow up to his counselor McCombs question.	00:46:46
	Are you going to you're not going to show any of the art?	00:46:50
	No posters and for the festive. So we're once again we're going to saw these artworks have been digitized already in JPEG files.	00:46:52
	We're going to have them on banners once again and they will be at the festival again this year. And then we'll now we'll contact	00:46:57
	the winners be prior and then announce them at the festival as well.	00:47:03
	Great. Thank you.	00:47:08
	Any other questions?	00:47:09
	No other questions.	00:47:11
	Yeah, sounds great. Perfect. Thanks everybody there.	00:47:14
	Report.	00:47:17
	Thank you.	00:47:18
	Hey, Frank.	00:47:19
	All right. So next we're going to move on to the consent calendar, will now consider items on the consent calendar.	00:47:21
	Calendar. They'll be enacted in one motion unless a council member would like to pull an item.	00:47:29
	I would like to pull item number 14, the annual Winimi Hero Award and.	00:47:35
	Give the Council a chance to discuss that.	00:47:40
	OK.	00:47:42
	All right. Is there a motion for the remaining items?	00:47:45
	Motion to approve items.	00:47:50
	One through 13.	00:47:54
	Yeah. Is there a second?	00:47:55
	2nd.	00:47:57
	Great, Madam Clerk, have a roll call, please.	00:47:59
	All in favor.	00:48:02
	Aye, all opposed.	00:48:03
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:48:05
	Great. And we'll go to item number 14. Madam Mayor. I'm sorry too, because I don't know if you're gonna take public comment on	00:48:08
	that one. I'm sorry. We. No, no, no. Yeah, we did have a public comment and I usually read them during general, so I just wanted	00:48:12
	to.	00:48:16
	Make you aware so you read it already.	00:48:20
	No, I have not, but we do have. So let's go ahead and what questions did you OK.	00:48:22
	Do you want to do the public comment first or?	00:48:29
	Hello, I would like to share this letter for the Port Wine Amy Lions Club for the Hero Award.	00:48:41
	Parkview thanks the Port Wine Me Lions Club.	00:48:46
	On behalf of the students, families, and staff of Parkview Elementary School, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to	00:48:49
	the Port Winnie Me Lions Club for their incredible support and generosity.	00:48:54
	This valued partnership has been instrumental in bringing to life a vision that is deeply rooted in the mission and values of our	00:48:59
	school community.	00:49:03
	At Parkview Elementary, we believe our school is more than just a place of learning. It is the foundation of support, kindness,	00:49:07
	and care for every member of our community.	00:49:12
	Over the past year, our school counselor and administrative team have worked diligently to create a Resource Center that would	00:49:16
	provide tangible support for families in need.	00:49:21
	Through the Port Winding Me Lions Club, generous fundraising efforts and donation of over $2100, we are proud to announce.	00:49:25
	The opening of the Mustang Kindness Closet.	00:49:32
	This dedicated space is designed to assist students and families facing challenges by offering access to essential items such as	00:49:35
	gently used clothing.	00:49:39
	Choose personal hygiene products, blankets, food and referrals to community services.	00:49:43
	The Port Oneima Lions Clubs contribution enabled us to purchase and install storage cabinets and organizational materials.	00:49:48
	Allowing us to store and distribute resources in a clean, accessible and dignified manner.	00:49:55
	Already, the Mustang Kindness Closet has made a difference in the lives of Parkview families.	00:50:01
	The generosity of the Port Hueneme Alliance Club not only brought this vision to life, but also reinforced the values we strive to	00:50:05
	instill in our students, compassion, empathy and community responsibility.	00:50:11
	It is an honor to share that Parkview was the first school to be selected by the Port Wine ME Lions Club for fundraiser.	00:50:16
	We are truly grateful for this partnership and look forward to many more opportunities to work together in service of our students	00:50:23
	and community.	00:50:26
	Thank you again to the Port Winding Alliance Club for your generosity and commitment to making a difference.	00:50:29
	Thank you, Sarah Jimenez, Principal, Parkview Elementary School.	00:50:34
	And that concludes public comment.	00:50:38
	Great. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor, I just had a question, Is this the first year that we're.	00:50:40
	Approving 3 recipients.	00:50:46
	And.	00:50:48
	Well, we need to somehow include language for the future on.	00:50:51
	The permission to do so, to do 3 verse. I mean, what if next year they want to do four or five? I think we need to.	00:50:57
	Probably address that.	00:51:08
	Yeah. And I to answer the first question, yes, this is the first. We've had three. We did have two last year. I believe that was	00:51:09
	the first time we've ever had more than one.	00:51:14
	So, uh.	00:51:19
	That could be something that the City Council could consider is giving that direction that it be, you know, a single person	00:51:20
	chosen.	00:51:25
	That is something that can be directed for future years. As of this moment, that is. There is no rule on that in the.	00:51:30
	In the program, yeah. So maybe in the future they can do.	00:51:37
	Maybe one individual hero and then an organizational hero.	00:51:41
	Umm, I don't have any problem with three.	00:51:46
	But I just want to make sure that we're.	00:51:49
	It's written into the.	00:51:53
	Into the nomination process.	00:51:56
	Councilmember, I'm sorry and just to so to do that we would we would bring that criteria back. So that's something that we could	00:52:00
	do.	00:52:04
	Yeah, I agree with Councilmember Hernandez that.	00:52:09
	You know it says Hero awarded then last year.	00:52:13
	We had a.	00:52:16
	We had two highly qualified, highly respected individuals that we decided to honor them both.	00:52:18
	I don't think we and then to go to three this year.	00:52:24
	Is great that we have because I mean the Lions Club obviously deserving of of it.	00:52:28
	The other two recipients as well.	00:52:34
	But maybe we do need to change our wording.	00:52:37
	Maybe we could change it to?	00:52:39
	Community leaders or?	00:52:42
	Because when I.	00:52:43
	Here hero I think of a first responder fireman.	00:52:45
	Running into a burning building.	00:52:50
	So maybe we could.	00:52:51
	Address it that way and.	00:52:55
	Make an agenda request at the end of the meeting, but umm.	00:52:57
	But I think it's great if we could.	00:53:00
	If we have more than one person to honor, but I think we should.	00:53:02
	Reflect that in whatever.	00:53:05
	Policy we have because we are.	00:53:07
	Policymakers.	00:53:09
	So I'll just say I think I heard two things.	00:53:11
	I heard Councilmember Hernandez saying.	00:53:13
	Minimum not not minimized, but it's hero. So we should be thinking about it being hero. But then I heard you say change the name	00:53:16
	to leaders, which means that's.	00:53:21
	So we can.	00:53:27
	Have multiple so I think I heard two different things but.	00:53:28
	What what I would like to say is that yes, I'm I'm.	00:53:30
	I'm OK with what we have this year. One of the things I did mention to the city manager is.	00:53:34
	You know when you start giving out an award that we look at as being a prestigious award and you.	00:53:41
	Give it out a lot.	00:53:45
	Then it diminishes the real value of the award. So that's the kind of thing I'd like to just make sure we.	00:53:47
	Keep that in mind.	00:53:53
	When we start.	00:53:54
	Issuing.	00:53:56
	Did you have something? Yeah, I just the language.	00:53:59
	If there's no grading criteria within.	00:54:03
	The language or.	00:54:05
	Because I'm not opposed to, I'm not opposed to seeing three people.	00:54:08
	People are not deserving.	00:54:11
	But.	00:54:13
	You know the language needs to state that.	00:54:14
	So that's what I think we need as a council, need to hammer that out.	00:54:18
	Yeah, sounds like there's a consensus to have a future item about the program. So, well, I think we can, we've heard from a	00:54:23
	majority that we can plan to do that.	00:54:27
	We'll make a request at the end of the meeting.	00:54:34
	Do we need to? I think we can get the direction now.	00:54:36
	Yeah, so.	00:54:39
	So does anybody have anything else before we move forward with the approval?	00:54:40
	All right, can I get a motion and motion to approve item?	00:54:44
	14.	00:54:48
	2nd Madam Clerk.	00:54:49
	All in favor.	00:54:52
	All opposed.	00:54:54
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:54:55
	Great. We're going to move on to item number 15. That's the levy and collection of annual assessments for assessment district.	00:54:59
	87-1 Assessment District 91-1 and Assessment District 95-3 an agreement with the Ventura County Auditors Controller.	00:55:07
	For billing of direct.	00:55:16
	Assessments, Madam Clerk.	00:55:17
	Do you have proof of publication as required by law and a complete file of reports and exhibits? Yes, Madam Mayor, thank you. Will	00:55:19
	staff please present the report?	00:55:23
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, council members of the audience.	00:55:28
	We're here for the second part of the.	00:55:34
	Assessment.	00:55:38
	District approvals.	00:55:39
	At our last meeting, you preliminary.	00:55:40
	Approved with resolutions, the engineers reports the use of that.	00:55:45
	Money. The amounts.	00:55:49
	Tonight is the second portion of that, which is the actual ordering of the levy and collection of those assessments.	00:55:52
	As a quick reminder.	00:55:59
	The lighting district.	00:56:01
	Has a revenue expected of $132,000.	00:56:04
	With expenses of 188,000 which leaves.	00:56:08
	Approximately $56,000 subsidy that the general fund will have to cover.	00:56:12
	That is essentially our street lighting bills, so.	00:56:18
	As you know, the rates have continued to go up.	00:56:22
	And we haven't. We don't have.	00:56:25
	We have the option to raise these, but it would have to go through a 218 process.	00:56:28
	For the Parkway and Median, the revenues.	00:56:33
	176,000 with expenses of 232,000 again a $56,000.	00:56:35
	Difference, but our fund balance.	00:56:42
	Has the money to cover that.	00:56:44
	And with use of that, it's expected at the end of this fiscal year the fund balance for that district would be $195,000.	00:56:45
	And then our drainage assessment.	00:56:54
	Has an expected revenue of 185, with the expenses of 196,000.	00:56:56
	With $11,000 being covered from our fund balance.	00:57:02
	And the expected estimated fund balance at the end of 2526 would be $629,000.	00:57:06
	And I briefly mentioned at the last meeting that we are working on some other things right now.	00:57:13
	To see if we can get.	00:57:19
	Permits and other things for maintenance.	00:57:21
	Of the channel.	00:57:25
	So there will be you.	00:57:26
	Possibly other items coming to you throughout the year.	00:57:29
	If we get those in place and because it will require.	00:57:32
	Appropriating more money so.	00:57:36
	Won't be doing that.	00:57:39
	Again, these resolutions are.	00:57:43
	Finalizing, approving, and adopting the expenses.	00:57:46
	Also.	00:57:50
	Authorizing the documents to be filed with the County Auditor, County of Ventura, which are due by July 7th.	00:57:54
	And if you have.	00:58:01
	Any questions? I'll be happy to answer those.	00:58:03
	Yeah. And the first one you said the general fund would have to.	00:58:12
	Cover it.	00:58:16
	And the second and 3rd, I believe you said the enterprise fund.	00:58:17
	No, not the enterprise fund. The fund balance is for those districts, so.	00:58:20
	Money that's been collected specifically from the assessments previously have monies leftover unspent, so we can use those to	00:58:25
	cover.	00:58:29
	Overage. OK, but on the first one.	00:58:34
	That's going to come from the general fund, correct? OK, can.	00:58:36
	Explain why.	00:58:41
	Is it by default or is?	00:58:42
	Is there a fund that has been?	00:58:45
	Depleted.	00:58:49
	Yeah, the lighting one, as I mentioned.	00:58:50
	Most of that money, all of it essentially goes to paint our utility bill for our street lighting.	00:58:55
	As you know, the rates have continued to go up.	00:59:01
	Every year.	00:59:04
	With those, so that fund has no balance left.	00:59:06
	We've previously spoken in the past years about possibly.	00:59:09
	Creating a.	00:59:14
	What would be called an overlay district where?	00:59:15
	That portion would go back out again to see if.	00:59:18
	The public were willing to.	00:59:21
	Be assessed additionally to cover that difference.	00:59:23
	The other two funds have.	00:59:27
	By the nature of what we've done.	00:59:30
	In those districts.	00:59:31
	We built up.	00:59:34
	A balance that we still have money on.	00:59:36
	Left to spend so.	00:59:38
	Again, just like with the drainage district.	00:59:41
	If we end up getting into doing.	00:59:44
	Chemical.	00:59:47
	Applications which would have to go through the state and permitting process and all that, that would require a bunch of other	00:59:48
	work and.	00:59:51
	A bunch of other expenditures which would be coming back.	00:59:55
	To ask you for permission.	00:59:58
	Then my last question is, is we?	01:00:00
	When we passed our budget, we anticipated this and built it into the budget, correct, Yes. And but I wanted to reiterate sort of	01:00:03
	the point I think you were making, which is that lighting overlay district or I'm sorry, the lighting districts.	01:00:10
	It is becoming more common that.	01:00:16
	Because.	01:00:19
	All most cities are in this position where the lighting costs have increased more than.	01:00:20
	The original.	01:00:25
	Expected amounts.	01:00:26
	That we can't just.	01:00:28
	Add to our.	01:00:30
	Districts. We have to actually create a second district that overlays the first district.	01:00:32
	So that's something that we plan to look at and sort of.	01:00:36
	Prioritize and bring back.	01:00:42
	Right. I think one of the things we're looking at right now is we are looking at all the utility rates and everything. So we are	01:00:44
	trying to put them in order of the most important to the.	01:00:48
	Are, I guess, most costly to the general fund and then to the least costly?	01:00:53
	So it's on our list to look at.	01:00:57
	And we'll bring that back to the council at some point, but yes, we expected that.	01:01:00
	From prior years, we.	01:01:05
	Planned for it, we budgeted it.	01:01:07
	That the long term solution is we need to figure out a way to not have the general fund subsidized that. So was this the first	01:01:08
	time or the second time or No, it's not the first and it's probably been for a few years I would guess.	01:01:15
	The past I'd say at least 6-7 years if not longer.	01:01:22
	That we.	01:01:26
	Had this amount.	01:01:27
	Previous years we've had much smaller amounts that had to be subsidized.	01:01:30
	1015 thousand. But as you can see, now we're talking about.	01:01:36
	$56,000 yeah, electric electricity just goes up. So it's just it's something we'll have to.	01:01:39
	To look at doing the overlay.	01:01:46
	Because we follow the prop 218 process because we have to create an overlay, it is a process that.	01:01:47
	Resident You know voters can.	01:01:54
	Protest and.	01:01:56
	All that. So we have to make sure we do a good job of explaining to everybody why it's needed and.	01:01:58
	You know, what does it mean if you don't do it? It means potentially that services could be cut. So we'd have to have that	01:02:02
	conversation and explain that.	01:02:06
	And just one more note.	01:02:10
	Previous city attorneys.	01:02:13
	Given their opinion on it and as those amounts were smaller at times.	01:02:16
	Because of the process to go through and.	01:02:20
	Do the analysis for it and do a whole prop 218.	01:02:23
	At that point it was.	01:02:26
	Determined that it would be.	01:02:28
	Not useful to go through that entire process and spend a lot of money to do it and risk still not getting it.	01:02:31
	Obviously now we we're seeing that this amount.	01:02:38
	Getting larger and larger so.	01:02:41
	It's something that we can as James.	01:02:43
	Mentioned, we can go back and take a look at.	01:02:45
	And see if it's.	01:02:48
	Effort and expense.	01:02:50
	Let's go to Mayor Pro Tem 1st and welcome back to you SO.	01:02:52
	This the street lighting specifically are.	01:02:56
	Are these just old systems? Like are these LED type lightings?	01:03:00
	Yeah, they've been changed out.	01:03:04
	But it's the.	01:03:06
	Number of lights that we have.	01:03:08
	Our bills.	01:03:10
	Run about fifteen, $16,000 a month.	01:03:12
	So does any more buildings have solar?	01:03:15
	Yes, some of our buildings do have solar.	01:03:18
	We don't have it on our street lighting.	01:03:22
	Would it be worthwhile for us to?	01:03:26
	Investigate.	01:03:28
	That just.	01:03:31
	To offset some of this, these rescues cost grant is continue go up.	01:03:32
	I have electric car at home.	01:03:38
	And I just, I'm transitioning to to solar, right?	01:03:39
	But it just seems like CPA.	01:03:44
	Is gonna work for.	01:03:47
	Gonna work for me as a resident.	01:03:48
	But for street lighting, we're still at.	01:03:50
	The mercy of us SCE Correct?	01:03:54
	Correct.	01:03:56
	I mean they're.	01:03:57
	Our systems that could be put in, they also take up a large amount of space in order to be able to store the.	01:03:58
	Electricity to make sure that the lights stay running all.	01:04:04
	Night. That would be something we'd have to do a lot more.	01:04:07
	Research into to see.	01:04:13
	Whether that would be something that would.	01:04:14
	Help offset this.	01:04:17
	OK. I was just wondering if. If.	01:04:19
	What are other cities doing offset these costs and maybe we can start just?	01:04:22
	Thinking of, you know, brainstorming this, I these ideas.	01:04:27
	Great, Councilmember Perez. Well, that was my question. What are other cities doing?	01:04:32
	Are they dealing with this same issue?	01:04:36
	Or is this just because we have an older system like what is the?	01:04:39
	Actually, I'm not sure what other cities are doing.	01:04:44
	I we can.	01:04:48
	Go back and take a look to see if any of them have switched over to electric.	01:04:49
	Or solar.	01:04:54
	But.	01:04:56
	Off the top of my head, I don't know if there's anybody that's gone to solar powered St. lighting it.	01:04:58
	Or not necessarily solar powered but are they having the same issue with this fund and having money issues and having to?	01:05:04
	And why do? Why can't we add to it? Why do we have to create another?	01:05:11
	Overlay what? What is that? It's because of the voter approval process and the voters approved.	01:05:15
	This assessment.	01:05:20
	So every year we go through the process to re levy that assessment, but we can't change it without going back to the voters.	01:05:24
	And the reason cities do the overlay is because if you if we go back to the voters and we try to just modify the existing one and	01:05:30
	they say no, then then we don't get any like the the.	01:05:35
	The district is gone.	01:05:40
	And So what the way cities have done its answer?	01:05:41
	That question of like, what's the first thing cities typically do when they find themselves in the spot? They create the overlay	01:05:44
	district and they say it's basically, you know, it's not touching the underlying one that pays for the most of it, but then it'll	01:05:50
	be like a second one on top of it that pays the difference.	01:05:55
	And that way, if it fails, you're not in any worse position than you are now, other than you spent probably $20,000 to go through	01:06:01
	the Prop 218 process.	01:06:05
	But if it passes, then you're you're caught up on your electric rates.	01:06:09
	A while at least, but I think everybody.	01:06:13
	Here knows, you know, with the way Edison rates have increased, you know, that's an ongoing battle to try to stay ahead of that	01:06:15
	but.	01:06:20
	But it's not uncommon I would say.	01:06:25
	I think most cities.	01:06:27
	That are in our age.	01:06:28
	Group especially.	01:06:30
	Of 75 year old city.	01:06:32
	And those assessment districts?	01:06:34
	30 to 40 years old.	01:06:37
	That what we originally thought electricity would cost back then, electricity is now costing more than that. That's really the	01:06:39
	problem in a in a nutshell.	01:06:43
	So, lighting assessment.	01:06:48
	District overlay is like probably step one to look into and then as part of that we can look at what other cities are doing if	01:06:50
	there's cost effective.	01:06:54
	Solutions there.	01:06:58
	Great, we're going to council.	01:07:00
	Hernandez Yeah. Also in the report here, it does say that.	01:07:03
	Pre-existing St. lighting assessments are exempt from proposition to 18.	01:07:08
	So two of our districts are exempt, right?	01:07:13
	The all of them are subject to Prop 218.	01:07:19
	OK. So we don't have pre-existing St. lighting assessments?	01:07:24
	The assessment, that is.	01:07:28
	Issued here or up for adoption now Is the one that's been in existence yes. No, we wouldn't. The existing 1 is a new one would not	01:07:31
	be yes.	01:07:36
	And I know at some point you.	01:07:44
	Considered.	01:07:46
	Moving the light district over to CPA, but you didn't do it first for.	01:07:49
	Whatever reason, what was that reason?	01:07:54
	That we didn't.	01:07:56
	Want to move it over to CPA clean power lines all the clean power alliance because the costs would have gone up, which would have	01:07:57
	made the deficit even larger. Yeah it's it's.	01:08:01
	And I'm not as.	01:08:06
	Familiar with that agreement as.	01:08:08
	Yeah, because sometimes their rates, they bring their rates down when when the costs go down South. Yeah, note, I don't want to	01:08:11
	put them on the spot, but I know Charles actually had a call with CPA and.	01:08:16
	And it's specific to streetlights. It was that's something on their end when Charles can maybe speak to a little bit better. But	01:08:22
	in their process they haven't gotten to that point yet. OK, cost would have got.	01:08:27
	It's a really good summary. The city managers.	01:08:33
	Clean power lines indicated that while they can be.	01:08:36
	And in most cases provide actually a slight discount from Edison on residential.	01:08:39
	And small customer rates, they aren't there with the streetlight rates, they're not competitive and they actually would have to	01:08:43
	charge cities slightly more than Edison currently charges for streetlights. Well, great, Thank you for checking. Well, that's, you	01:08:49
	know, that's another possibility though is if they get there and if there's the ability to opt in to CPA where it would actually	01:08:55
	be a savings and that could be another possibility. It's just not there yet. Right. One final quick question are the.	01:09:01
	The lights out to the lighthouse are those considered streetlights.	01:09:07
	Off the top of my head, I don't know. I know we have the map of all of our street lanes that Charles so so this.	01:09:12
	Out to the promenade.	01:09:19
	Yes.	01:09:21
	So basically it's just St. lights mediums.	01:09:23
	In the house in track.	01:09:27
	Typically, OK, this will be the last question. Go ahead.	01:09:30
	The Bubbling Springs Canal.	01:09:38
	You you stated that.	01:09:41
	You're waiting for an EPA.	01:09:43
	Cert to to spray that area right?	01:09:46
	We're going through the process. We actually just recently found out that we'd have to do some other documentation submittal.	01:09:49
	So we don't know. We haven't gotten to that point yet, so.	01:09:55
	There's some other things that we're going to need to do.	01:09:59
	For environmental review before they'll.	01:10:02
	Move forward with looking at processing that permit for us.	01:10:05
	But it has shown to be effective.	01:10:09
	Yes, there's there's a lot of agencies that have drainage channels that do use.	01:10:11
	Chemical application to control.	01:10:17
	Growth. OK, thanks.	01:10:19
	OK, great. So we're going to move. We're going to now open the public hearing and take public comment. Madam Clerk, are there any	01:10:21
	public comments? The time is now 738.	01:10:26
	No public comments for this item. Great. Thank you. The public input has concluded. I will now close the public hearing and the	01:10:32
	time is now 738.	01:10:36
	Umm, any other?	01:10:42
	Any other discussion?	01:10:44
	OK. So we'll move. We'll move on to. We have before us the recommendation to adopt 3 resolutions.	01:10:46
	Of the City Council in the City of Port.	01:10:52
	WINIMI, California.	01:10:54
	One for each of the following districts ordering the levy and collection of assessments for the fiscal year.	01:10:55
	Beginning one July 2025 and ending June 30th, 2026 pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972.	01:11:01
	Lighting maintenance assessment district.	01:11:09
	87-1 Parking and medium maintenance.	01:11:12
	Assessment District 91-1, Port Hueneme Drainage Maintenance Assessment District 95-3 and to authorize the city manager to execute	01:11:14
	the agreement.	01:11:19
	With the Ventura County Auditor Controller for the billing of direct assessments.	01:11:24
	Is there a motion so moved?	01:11:29
	2nd.	01:11:32
	Any discussion? No further discussion.	01:11:33
	Madam Clerk, please take a roll call. Vote please. Councilmember Comma Yes. Councilmember Hernandez.	01:11:35
	Councilmember Perez Yes Mayor Pro Tem Lopez and Mayor McQueen Lejeune. Yes. Motion passes unanimously.	01:11:41
	Great. Thank you, Mr. Camarillo for your presentation. Next, we're going to move to business item number 16, Cindy Watt Citywide	01:11:48
	Neighborhood Parking Analysis Report.	01:11:53
	Will staff please present the report?	01:11:58
	Good evening again.	01:12:02
	What you have before you tonight.	01:12:06
	Is a report that council approved to move forward on back in November of last year.	01:12:09
	It was to take a look.	01:12:15
	Holistically.	01:12:17
	At various things that we might be able to do to better provide parking.	01:12:18
	And.	01:12:25
	So we.	01:12:27
	Have our traffic engineer, Mr. Tom Miracle.	01:12:28
	Who has done a study for us?	01:12:31
	And uh.	01:12:34
	Part of this you all received a technical memorandum that.	01:12:35
	That Tom produced.	01:12:39
	And uh.	01:12:40
	It summarizes all of his findings.	01:12:43
	And then he is going to be presenting this.	01:12:45
	PowerPoint to go over.	01:12:49
	A shorter version of a technical memorandum.	01:12:51
	Thank you, Madam Mayor.	01:12:58
	Mayor, Pro Tem and Council.	01:12:59
	Slightly shorter.	01:13:03
	All right, so.	01:13:05
	We did.	01:13:08
	Essentially looked at 8 areas.	01:13:10
	We sat down with the city staff and kind of said where can we best use the resources that were allocated?	01:13:12
	For the project.	01:13:17
	A lot of the effort for this project was going out and collecting data, as you can imagine.	01:13:19
	Collecting data in these eight areas.	01:13:25
	Weekday. Weekend.	01:13:27
	And then trying to account for.	01:13:29
	Evenings which ended up being our peak period.	01:13:32
	And all of the street sweeping, moving things around, we had to kept coming back and back and back so that we could get it. It	01:13:35
	took.	01:13:38
	About 3 months to collect all the data.	01:13:42
	We collected the data.	01:13:46
	January through March again, weekday and weekend.	01:13:49
	Daytime and overnight.	01:13:54
	Looked at both.	01:13:55
	The public parking and private parking. So as we went through neighborhoods we looked at.	01:13:57
	The parking in people's.	01:14:02
	Front yards where they had cars parked.	01:14:05
	Where there were not cars parked because we had to collect.	01:14:08
	Both the supply and the demand.	01:14:11
	And then?	01:14:16
	We had some general observations which I'll go over a little bit and then.	01:14:18
	Summarized and evaluated the data.	01:14:23
	Presenting our recommended alternatives.	01:14:26
	The areas are Area 1.	01:14:30
	And Area 2 Victoria Marina and Pacific collection.	01:14:33
	Area B Yankee Landing Area C, Bulker Park.	01:14:38
	Area D is the Panoma Clara area.	01:14:42
	Area E was parking lot E and Area F was parking lot F and then Seaview St.	01:14:45
	Kind of our brief general observations is that area 1.	01:14:56
	Area B, Area C and many parts of Area D.	01:15:02
	Had utilization that was approaching.	01:15:06
	Or in one case exceeding 100%.	01:15:08
	So it's probably not news to the council, but it's good to know we have data.	01:15:12
	That supports what the community has been saying for several years, that.	01:15:16
	These these areas.	01:15:20
	Don't have any parking available.	01:15:21
	Some overflow of area one goes into the surrounding streets.	01:15:23
	Catch basins have curbs that are painted red.	01:15:29
	There are some where it's very appropriate to have them painted red because.	01:15:32
	Of the the drainage in the area if a vehicle is parked there.	01:15:37
	It could block the drainage to get into the inlands, but that's not the case for all of them.	01:15:41
	Areas of high utilization have.	01:15:46
	Cars that were parked at red curb.	01:15:49
	Cars that were parked on the curb returns.	01:15:52
	And then parked in yard areas off of the paved driveway, which is not allowed by the current code.	01:15:55
	Parking lot CNF are essentially empty at night and less than 50%.	01:16:02
	During the day, again these are observations that were taken.	01:16:06
	Now, not in the summer, it's it's probably a vastly different look at things for those lots, particularly during the day.	01:16:09
	In the summer.	01:16:16
	And then on Seaview St.	01:16:18
	The the on street parking is not near capacity, but the private parking in the.	01:16:20
	The neighborhood that is on that street is right at 100%. So some of them are out on the street, but there's there's still lots of	01:16:26
	capacity left on the street.	01:16:30
	This is kind of the data summarized in a couple of tables. The first one is the weekday and you can see area 1.	01:16:38
	Has the utilization of 97% for the public parking.	01:16:45
	83% for the private parking, for a total of about 90%.	01:16:49
	Area B.	01:16:54
	87%.	01:16:56
	Public parking.	01:16:58
	Utilization 83% for total utilization.	01:16:59
	Area C was 92%.	01:17:04
	Of the public parking and about 82% of the private parking and then you can see at the bottom Seaview.	01:17:07
	The private parking utilization was over 100%.	01:17:12
	Now one of the things.	01:17:15
	Is in the parking industry, what we typically look for or strive to achieve is somewhere around 85% utilization.	01:17:18
	Lots of paid parking.	01:17:26
	Across the area and.	01:17:29
	Across the nation, is sort of said at this.	01:17:30
	85% so for instance in Ventura.	01:17:32
	Their parking policies are based upon an 85% goal.	01:17:35
	Which means that when you get to where you want to go, there should be a space available.	01:17:39
	It may only be 1 space.	01:17:43
	But there should be a space available.	01:17:44
	So that's kind of what we're using as our threshold. So when you look at the red on these tables, they're way above 85 the.	01:17:49
	The yellowish color is.	01:17:56
	At or just above.	01:17:59
	The 85.	01:18:00
	And then for.	01:18:03
	For weekend.	01:18:04
	Though the weekend peak was actually during the day.	01:18:06
	And, umm.	01:18:10
	Again, very similar 83% utilization for public.	01:18:11
	81% for private.	01:18:16
	Area B 96% Area C 91% for for.	01:18:19
	For public parking areas.	01:18:23
	And then?	01:18:25
	For Seaview, 97% utilization for those private areas.	01:18:26
	So this data really does confirm.	01:18:30
	Kind of what we've been talking about for a few years in regards to parking.	01:18:33
	So there's some general things that we kind of are.	01:18:39
	Want the Council to consider not all these can be achieved right away.	01:18:45
	Some of them can.	01:18:50
	Some of them might be longer term.	01:18:51
	And these are things that can kind of go across the community fairly well.	01:18:54
	Removing red curb at the drainage inlets were feasible.	01:18:58
	Installing some stop signs at some four way intersections where there's a lot of red curves so you can can take that red curve	01:19:02
	out.	01:19:05
	We've had a discussion about that in the past.	01:19:08
	Mark the crosswalks to kind of move the crosswalks further into the intersection so that the impact of the new.	01:19:11
	Clear zone law.	01:19:18
	Doesn't quite impact us as much because it's from the crosswalk.	01:19:19
	At Angle Parking where feasible, there's a number of locations we identified.	01:19:24
	In the report where angle parking could be put in to add a little more supply.	01:19:28
	And even looking in a couple of areas of reducing the number of lanes on a street where the capacity doesn't need more than one	01:19:34
	lane.	01:19:38
	To add parking on the street where there's none now.	01:19:43
	For private parking.	01:19:48
	Allowing So right now, the municipal code says you can only park in a paved area in front of the garages.	01:19:49
	And then it has a maximum amount of.	01:19:57
	Percentage of the yard area that can be impervious.	01:20:00
	So one of the things that.	01:20:05
	That we can look at is.	01:20:08
	Changing those a little bit to maybe allow those driveways to be a little bit wider.	01:20:09
	Those areas that are wider than the garage, maybe they are not totally impervious, but they can be.	01:20:13
	Pervious materials or semi pervious materials?	01:20:20
	That so that it doesn't quite have the impact of everything being paved.	01:20:23
	But it does give the chance for people to add, you know, another space that a car could park that's not on the grass or in the	01:20:28
	side yard or something.	01:20:31
	Encourage the use of on site areas in private multifamily developments. So there's a lot of the areas that were observed where.	01:20:37
	There there was parking available in the private.	01:20:46
	Areas off the street.	01:20:49
	But because every unit sort of has their assigned number of spaces.	01:20:51
	If somebody only has one or two cars, but they have three spaces because they have a.	01:20:55
	Garage and then they have a driveway that can they can put a couple of spaces.	01:21:00
	But they're not utilizing them all.	01:21:04
	That, umm.	01:21:06
	Maybe the community can work.	01:21:08
	With itself through the HOA to say hey, I've got an extra space.	01:21:10
	Can somebody use it and?	01:21:14
	Kind of work that out there. There is some private supply.	01:21:16
	Available particularly in the A1.	01:21:20
	Neighborhood.	01:21:23
	And then and then.	01:21:26
	Kind of some general parking regulation things to consider.	01:21:28
	Moving to either a permitted or a complaint based enforcement of parking in front of your own driveway.	01:21:34
	So right now the Vehicle Code prohibits that practice.	01:21:40
	It does allow a local agency.	01:21:43
	To establish a permit program where somebody can come in and get a permit from the city to park in front of their driveway.	01:21:46
	Permit system without having any other parking permit programs.	01:21:52
	Could be an administrative burden.	01:21:57
	So you could go to just having a complaint based enforcement.	01:21:59
	Rather than a proactive enforcement, whether that's.	01:22:03
	Being done.	01:22:06
	Yeah, that's one other question.	01:22:08
	Prohibit commercial.	01:22:11
	Vehicle parking.	01:22:12
	This is something that you can do the.	01:22:14
	Kind of the problem with the general commercial vehicle parking is a lot of people's larger pickup trucks.	01:22:16
	Are considered by the Vehicle Code to be a commercial vehicle, so we have to be a little careful about.	01:22:22
	About going that far because in residential neighborhoods, if people have businesses.	01:22:27
	Where they have a truck or a van or something that is.	01:22:32
	Defined as a commercial vehicle.	01:22:35
	They would not be allowed to park in on the street and so we.	01:22:36
	We, I think we want to consider that, but that may be going a little too far.	01:22:40
	We can define.	01:22:45
	A commercial vehicle separately.	01:22:46
	Prohibit oversize vehicles.	01:22:50
	So these would be.	01:22:52
	Motorhomes and and large vehicles.	01:22:54
	So right now, tractor trailers and.	01:22:56
	And tractors, trucks and their trailers are not allowed to park.	01:22:59
	But we still have and our observations were that there's only a few across the entire city that we observed.	01:23:05
	Motor homes, mostly.	01:23:12
	We don't.	01:23:16
	I think we do have restrictions for motor homes, right?	01:23:17
	I did not find one in the code. Now maybe we do and I just didn't find it. My uncle would beg to differ with you. OK, got a	01:23:21
	ticket.	01:23:24
	OK, Yeah, I think it's uh, uh.	01:23:28
	And oversized vehicle.	01:23:30
	Yeah.	01:23:33
	Yeah, but.	01:23:34
	I think one of the ideas here was sort of.	01:23:35
	Fine tuning and.	01:23:39
	Crafting some.	01:23:41
	Updating the regulations to be able to enforce that better, yeah.	01:23:42
	And then lastly would be the unattached trailers, so people leaving their boats and.	01:23:47
	Other types of recreational trailers.	01:23:53
	Out in the street that are not attached to a vehicle.	01:23:56
	So.	01:24:05
	Now to get into some of the specific areas.	01:24:06
	Area A1 This is the Victoria Marina area up near.	01:24:10
	Victoria at Hemlock.	01:24:14
	There's actually an opportunity to add some parking on Victoria Ave.	01:24:17
	Not up at the intersection of Hemlock where the the 3rd lane is added, but South of there where there's only two northbound lanes.	01:24:22
	There's a really wide curb lane with the bike lane.	01:24:28
	So some parking could be added there. There's plenty of room. The bike lane would have to be re.	01:24:32
	Restriped.	01:24:36
	Over.	01:24:38
	Adding angle parking along yard arm, spinnaker, sextant and rudder.	01:24:40
	This would actually though, require the streets to be one way.	01:24:46
	Because the streets aren't wide enough. So again, just something to consider. The other thing is the clear zone for fire would not	01:24:50
	be the full.	01:24:54
	20 feet.	01:24:58
	But we thought we wanted to go ahead and, and, and put that out there for discussion because.	01:25:00
	This neighborhood does have alleys also, so there is secondary access.	01:25:04
	Other neighborhoods where there's not that secondary access. This doesn't make sense at all from a.	01:25:09
	A public safety.	01:25:13
	Perspective.	01:25:15
	Encourage property owners to add additional parking spaces on site.	01:25:19
	So there's a picture here of.	01:25:23
	Pretty typical driveway there where?	01:25:25
	They can park 4 cars and then there's kind of this, this is a little bit distorted of a picture because the camera, but.	01:25:28
	There's about.	01:25:34
	7 or 8 feet between the cars in the middle where there's that dark door.	01:25:35
	That is for their laundry room area.	01:25:40
	If they do a little a couple of feet of widening, that gives them enough room to park 1/5 vehicle on their driveway. But again,	01:25:44
	this is something that the.	01:25:48
	The community or the?	01:25:52
	The individual property owners would would have to do.	01:25:54
	And then again, as I talked about earlier, encourage the sharing of of private parking resources so where somebody only has a	01:25:59
	single vehicle and they.	01:26:03
	They don't need to use the whole driveway. Maybe they could give up one of those spaces.	01:26:06
	To a neighbor.	01:26:12
	Area B, which is Yankee Landing. This was an area that was also very high up in the high 90s.	01:26:18
	There, there might be some areas and again, this is this is kind of an HOA thing that the HOA.	01:26:26
	Could reevaluate.	01:26:32
	How their private parking is done on site to see if they could fit in anymore spaces.	01:26:34
	Particularly maybe on the evenings and weekends where there's areas where you could put a car.	01:26:39
	Where you know?	01:26:44
	Day-to-day travel might be kind of tight, but if it's overnight maybe it's OK.	01:26:46
	And some of that parking already happens when the street sweeping occurs.	01:26:50
	People are allowed to park in that neighborhood in areas.	01:26:54
	That gets pretty tight, but it's it's allowed by the HOA for that one day.	01:26:57
	And then?	01:27:03
	Up at hemlock there's quite a bit of red curve for a right turn pocket on.	01:27:05
	To Patterson.	01:27:12
	There's really no, as far as we can tell, there's no traffic need for that to be quite that long, if that need to be there at all.	01:27:14
	But we think at least in the interim until we can kind of do a longer term analysis looking at the.	01:27:22
	The traffic volumes and things.	01:27:26
	We could take about half of that.	01:27:28
	And turn that back into parking.	01:27:30
	Gets us about 6 or 7.	01:27:33
	Area C The Bulker Park.	01:27:38
	Neighborhood umm.	01:27:40
	Again, having the HOA's kind of look within themselves to see if there's more areas they could create parking.	01:27:43
	On side and also the sharing of parking as I've talked about.	01:27:51
	Within the park itself, you're currently not allowed to park there as a resident overnight.	01:27:56
	People do. The park is.	01:28:00
	Full overnight.	01:28:02
	So our recommendation is we just take.	01:28:04
	Remove that restriction.	01:28:06
	Because people are doing it, we're not enforcing it.	01:28:08
	We're probably not going to enforce it, council decision, but.	01:28:11
	That's something we should consider, just removing those restrictions and.	01:28:14
	And recognize how it's being used now.	01:28:18
	And then?	01:28:21
	Bulker Drive to the north of the park is pretty wide. It's 50 feet curb to curb. It's actually way too wide.	01:28:23
	Putting in angle parking will do a variety of things. It will visually narrow the street so hopefully people drive a little	01:28:29
	slower.	01:28:32
	It'll also add quite a few parking spaces.	01:28:36
	And I'm recommending the east side just because the placement of there's a few fire hydrants, but they're all on the West side.	01:28:39
	So you kind of get better utilization of that space if you do it along the.	01:28:46
	The east side.	01:28:50
	Area D the Pomona Clara.	01:28:58
	But Noma Clara neighborhood.	01:29:01
	Adding angle parking along the north side of Pleasant Valley where it's it's really wide. There's kind of a wide pedestrian area	01:29:05
	that's delineated with a bunch of delineators.	01:29:09
	That's for for people to walk into the.	01:29:13
	The base and for kids to go into the school that's there.	01:29:16
	That could be narrowed down to 5 feet and we could put angled parking in there.	01:29:20
	And then also.	01:29:27
	In the area to the east.	01:29:29
	Where there is sidewalk and there's two lanes going westbound.	01:29:32
	That two lanes is not needed.	01:29:38
	At night.	01:29:41
	According to the port.	01:29:44
	To the naval base, it's needed in the morning because everybody coming in, it's a pretty.	01:29:46
	Good cue.	01:29:51
	What we're thinking the overnight we could remove.	01:29:52
	We could remove the parking restriction and allow people to park.	01:29:55
	In that 2nd lane next to the curb at night.	01:29:58
	That gets cool.	01:30:02
	Quite a bit of parking for that neighborhood, though they do have to park across the street.	01:30:03
	Tom, if I could just know right there.	01:30:09
	So we've tried to come up with like these.	01:30:12
	Like option like the menu of options that we could roll out.	01:30:15
	And then, but I wanted to note, I think that was a good point that.	01:30:18
	Some of them would require some follow up conversations like.	01:30:21
	Tom had said with either.	01:30:24
	Agencies like the Navy base or some of the HOA's.	01:30:26
	And so I will just note that I did get a follow up from the Navy base that they would want to talk about Pleasant Valley leading	01:30:30
	into the base. So.	01:30:34
	So on some of these, we're putting these.	01:30:38
	Proposals together, but some of them will. We would follow up with those agencies and come back with what we can do so.	01:30:41
	Just wanted.	01:30:49
	Let everybody know that.	01:30:50
	And to.	01:30:53
	Continue sort of on that vein of discussion.	01:30:55
	Next, we're looking at sort of some future things that the council may want to consider to further increase parking.	01:30:58
	That are going to incur.	01:31:05
	Quite a bit more cost.	01:31:06
	This first one.	01:31:08
	Adding off street parking so there's currently a vacant lot near areas A1 and A2.	01:31:14
	And getting a portion of that lot to be public parking. Now there is a development project that's that's been approved.	01:31:19
	Approval. It's been quite a while since that approval.	01:31:27
	Happened, uh.	01:31:30
	As I understand it, it's John Ascar.	01:31:31
	But when that development comes back through.	01:31:34
	Maybe some?	01:31:37
	Public parking could be.	01:31:39
	Extracted from that development, maybe the developer would be willing to allow the public to park there in certain areas	01:31:41
	overnight.	01:31:45
	So I think a discussion when that development comes back through to get re approved.	01:31:48
	Could really help that.	01:31:55
	That neighborhood?	01:31:56
	We observed.	01:32:00
	We tried to observe how people were using their garages.	01:32:02
	Really tough to do.	01:32:06
	We have no legal right to go in and tell people to show us their garage.	01:32:08
	When When Jim, who did the analysis, drove around.	01:32:12
	His estimate was about.	01:32:16
	50% of the garages were completely full of something other than a car.	01:32:17
	Quite a bit of them had.	01:32:22
	Expanded living space, you know.	01:32:24
	Whether it's.	01:32:27
	A second family room or a man cave or they had, you know, literally.	01:32:29
	There was one they observed where somebody had actually built a bedroom in there and you know, that's.	01:32:35
	That's not uncommon.	01:32:39
	Every city I've ever worked in.	01:32:41
	You see that?	01:32:43
	And they just tend to keep their garage door closed and.	01:32:44
	It takes extraordinary efforts to go enforce that.	01:32:48
	But that is something, if this got really bad and we wanted to look at that, that is something we could do. But that's a very	01:32:51
	heavy-handed.	01:32:55
	City approach and would require a lot of.	01:32:58
	Discussions with the attorney and probably court orders to get people to show us their garages. So.	01:33:03
	Not necessarily a road I think we want to go down, but.	01:33:07
	That is something we could do.	01:33:10
	And then?	01:33:13
	Adding on St. curb parking on Patterson, this would be 1 where we the current traffic volumes on that street are.	01:33:14
	Fairly low. We don't need 2 lanes.	01:33:21
	For the capacity.	01:33:24
	We could keep the bike lane, one vehicle lane and put parking.	01:33:25
	But we wouldn't want to do that until we like resurface the street.	01:33:30
	Work with Oxnard so we can transition.	01:33:33
	And then kind of do an analysis of.	01:33:35
	What does that do to traffic flow and that kind of thing? So something where there's an opportunity, but.	01:33:38
	It's something that we think is future when we get ready to.	01:33:43
	To do some work on that street.	01:33:46
	And then lastly.	01:33:50
	You know the the.	01:33:52
	The best way and.	01:33:53
	Of course we see this with.	01:33:56
	The the arguments about ad use and about mixed-use housing is trying to get people to not buy as many cars and use as many cars.	01:33:57
	As they have.	01:34:05
	So again, I I.	01:34:06
	Through in here, increase active transportation infrastructure and public transit service.	01:34:08
	We have seen in the city of.	01:34:14
	Ventura that I've done a lot of work in.	01:34:17
	The city of Carpinteria is beginning to see this too.	01:34:20
	People are owning less cars.	01:34:23
	Because they have opportunities so.	01:34:26
	Just something to kind of keep out there is that may be a long term.	01:34:28
	Strategy.	01:34:32
	And with that, I'm going to turn it back to Fred.	01:34:37
	To summarize some recommendations.	01:34:40
	So.	01:34:47
	This last slide here are the things that we.	01:34:49
	Really think are the ones that we can get to.	01:34:53
	More quickly and bring.	01:34:56
	Some relief, too.	01:34:59
	Removing red curbs at some of the drainage inlets will free up some parking.	01:35:02
	We can. As you know, we did a pilot project. You approved a pilot project for stop signs and four way stops over on Panoma Street,	01:35:07
	so we could extend that out.	01:35:12
	Which would get us some additional parking in that area.	01:35:18
	One of the things we were also looking at recently we were notified by.	01:35:23
	Gold Coast that they were possibly thinking about removing the bus stops on Panoma as well and.	01:35:28
	The two bus stops on Panoma take up quite a bit of red curb so.	01:35:33
	We haven't heard anything more from them lately regarding whether or not they're planning on still moving forward with that those	01:35:39
	bus stop removals we can follow up with them to see.	01:35:44
	If they have any.	01:35:49
	Updates regarding that.	01:35:50
	If that were to happen, then.	01:35:52
	We could also extend that to include more stop signs, make it a four way stop and then remove all of the red curb.	01:35:56
	If the bus stop wasn't there.	01:36:04
	And then adding the.	01:36:07
	Parking along South side of Hemlock St. at the intersection with with Patterson.	01:36:11
	Allowing the overnight parking on the Northside of Pleasant Valley.	01:36:18
	Again, as as our city manager just mentioned, that would also still require us to.	01:36:23
	Work with the Navy base on that.	01:36:29
	Make sure we weren't having any conflicts with them.	01:36:31
	Regarding.	01:36:35
	Their access through that Pleasant Valley gate.	01:36:37
	With the approval of allowing people to park in front of their own driveway.	01:36:42
	That would free up quite a bit of parking spaces.	01:36:50
	And then as Tom mentioned earlier.	01:36:52
	Not we could do it two ways, we could do it by permit. So if somebody.	01:36:55
	Would have it and it would be able to be verified that the vehicle.	01:36:59
	There belongs to that address.	01:37:02
	Or, umm.	01:37:06
	On a complaint based thing where if someone, let's say a neighbor, decided, well I'm just gonna park in front of my neighbor's	01:37:07
	driveway, obviously someone's gonna be calling pretty quickly.	01:37:11
	And then?	01:37:15
	A response would be required for that to.	01:37:16
	Have them move their vehicle.	01:37:18
	So that's.	01:37:22
	An option, but it that would open up a lot of parking spaces.	01:37:24
	And then?	01:37:29
	Others that would require more work, obviously.	01:37:30
	Going back to.	01:37:33
	Change things in the municipal code to make things more clear about what?	01:37:34
	Types of.	01:37:39
	Vehicles or.	01:37:40
	Things would be allowed in certain areas.	01:37:41
	Prohibiting oversized vehicles.	01:37:44
	To allow that to be.	01:37:48
	More parking spaces.	01:37:51
	Tom did mention that there wasn't a lot of it, but.	01:37:53
	In some areas.	01:37:57
	It seems like every little bit counts.	01:37:59
	And if you have questions, Tom's here, I'm here. Charles Cable is here, So.	01:38:05
	Great. Thank you. Any questions?	01:38:13
	Questions. Mayor Pro.	01:38:16
	I'm sorry, Mayor Pro Tem.	01:38:18
	Yeah, so there is.	01:38:20
	Reading your report.	01:38:22
	There is areas for.	01:38:24
	For improvements for the 50% hardscape landscape.	01:38:26
	Would you recommend taking that down to 30%?	01:38:31
	So that's.	01:38:37
	It's hard to say what that number would be. We have to sit down with the Community Development Department.	01:38:40
	My thought is we leave the 50%.	01:38:45
	But we allow.	01:38:48
	We allow.	01:38:49
	Pervious or semi pervious pavement areas of a certain size.	01:38:51
	To be within that 50%.	01:38:56
	So then it's not, it's not allowing people to just pave their whole front yard.	01:38:58
	Where is that derived from?	01:39:04
	Why did we?	01:39:05
	Arbitrarily pick 50%.	01:39:07
	I don't know.	01:39:10
	The code as I see it, you know, it's, it's got some codification dates. It's been around a long time.	01:39:12
	It's not 8 atypical, you know most cities.	01:39:18
	Don't allow you to pave your whole front yard. They don't allow you to park on on.	01:39:21
	Non uh.	01:39:24
	Non.	01:39:26
	Services as an aesthetic thing, so.	01:39:28
	The 50% is mostly an aesthetic thing so that there is some green in everybody's yard.	01:39:30
	Whether that 50% can be?	01:39:38
	40% or 30%?	01:39:40
	Again, I think we'd have to do a little more analysis.	01:39:43
	Which is why I was thinking maybe a more expedient way to do that is just.	01:39:46
	Keep the 50%.	01:39:50
	But allow up to a certain amount of.	01:39:52
	Square footage to be as long as it's not completely impervious.	01:39:55
	Well, the only reason why I say that is this has been discussed before and.	01:39:59
	And it's.	01:40:04
	We're enforcing it.	01:40:06
	Our code enforcements enforcing it.	01:40:07
	I mean, we, we're getting complaints from neighbors who are.	01:40:10
	Saying, Oh yeah, code enforcement came by and they were like.	01:40:13
	You're you're at 40%, so you're not in compliance and it's just an arbitrary number.	01:40:18
	Just to me it's it's more of a.	01:40:24
	Treating our.	01:40:27
	Single family residence as an HOA.	01:40:28
	And not allowing them to do.	01:40:30
	Whatever they want to do.	01:40:34
	So I just think we've arrived at that, not that 50% as a.	01:40:35
	That's the way it's always been.	01:40:41
	I have heartburn with that.	01:40:44
	Did you have a question?	01:40:49
	Yeah, let's go to.	01:40:51
	Thank you, Mayor, and thank you Mr. Camarillo and.	01:40:57
	Mr.	01:41:01
	Miracle for?	01:41:02
	Your presentation and your analysis.	01:41:04
	When you did the week.	01:41:07
	Day and weekend.	01:41:08
	Surveys.	01:41:10
	Did you do nighttime?	01:41:11
	Yes we did weekday during the day, midday and then.	01:41:13
	The evenings were 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM.	01:41:18
	So and that was definitely the peak during the middle of the week.	01:41:21
	For sure.	01:41:25
	OK, so where is there any case where you found?	01:41:25
	Cars taking up more than one.	01:41:30
	Parking space.	01:41:33
	Parking horizontally against the curb.	01:41:35
	And I know that happens in the Yankee Landing area because I live in that area.	01:41:38
	And so.	01:41:43
	Was I'm asking that question because I'm wondering if there was any.	01:41:46
	Possibility that delineators would.	01:41:51
	Force people to not take up two spaces if they knew that.	01:41:54
	They were parked within the.	01:41:58
	Delineated areas that they wouldn't take up more than two spaces because once one car.	01:42:00
	Along the street parks and two spaces, all the other cars kind of like.	01:42:05
	Bump each other and.	01:42:09
	And there's like half a car.	01:42:11
	Between all these cars and it's just.	01:42:12
	Create more parking if people just parked.	01:42:17
	Yeah.	01:42:20
	Yeah, so.	01:42:22
	Going out and painting actual parking space markings where you're painting every 20 feet you're putting a little tea.	01:42:24
	Yeah, it's something we could do.	01:42:30
	It's very expensive to.	01:42:32
	Put in and maintain and.	01:42:34
	One of the reasons why we didn't recommend it.	01:42:36
	He doesn't look very good. He did not observe.	01:42:39
	That kind of thing happening too much because there's so much demand.	01:42:43
	They're probably fitting in 40 feet. Lots of neighborhoods. They're fitting in three cars and if we mark them for two.	01:42:47
	We're actually potentially taking away spaces.	01:42:53
	So there's kind of.	01:42:56
	There's kind of a two sides of that coin.	01:42:59
	In terms of making it efficient, but also maybe making it.	01:43:03
	Not allowing them to be even more efficient because they.	01:43:08
	Ultimately, the neighbors.	01:43:11
	Are going to try and fit wherever they can and make it as efficient as possible. And if your neighbor is taking up.	01:43:12
	A space and a half. I'm sure his neighbors are saying something to them.	01:43:18
	Just because of.	01:43:23
	You know, but again.	01:43:24
	There's nothing in his notes. He told me he did not see any abnormal parking other than red curb and curb returns.	01:43:26
	Both of those are not allowed, but nothing where people were parking at a slight angle or they were trying to fit in.	01:43:34
	Or where there was kind of this inefficiency just because in those neighborhoods.	01:43:41
	There's so much demand.	01:43:45
	That it just wasn't happening from his observations.	01:43:47
	Did you take the opportunity also to look at parking citations to see the kinds of parking citations people?	01:43:51
	We did not.	01:43:57
	We did not.	01:43:59
	That's it, Council. OK, Councilmember Gama.	01:44:01
	Yeah, I am.	01:44:04
	I get a little indigestion when I think about.	01:44:05
	The single family homes.	01:44:08
	And that arbitrary amount of hardscape.	01:44:11
	Versus Greenscape.	01:44:14
	Because.	01:44:16
	Some lots.	01:44:17
	Are inverted.	01:44:19
	Shape and so the front.	01:44:21
	There's less area.	01:44:23
	For parking.	01:44:25
	If you were to expand.	01:44:26
	And then other lots are the opposite.	01:44:28
	And so.	01:44:30
	When you drive her and I don't think you did much in between a Pleasant Valley and.	01:44:31
	Channel Islands.	01:44:38
	5th place.	01:44:40
	Pearson, all those areas.	01:44:41
	Did you look, you didn't look at those areas, but those would also be candidates where?	01:44:44
	Allowing parking in front of your driveway gets.	01:44:48
	All of those spaces, right? No, no. And I, you know, I in my neighborhood, parking's not a problem except during beach festival or	01:44:52
	when there's a bunch of pickle Ballers going on it.	01:44:56
	But.	01:45:01
	Generally speaking it's pretty good, but.	01:45:02
	When I go to other parts of the city.	01:45:04
	It's like.	01:45:07
	It'd be really frustrating to live.	01:45:08
	To have to battle parking every day.	01:45:11
	And so, yeah, I think we, I think we need to keep that in mind that.	01:45:14
	You know.	01:45:20
	Lots or some of the lots in Wayne are very big, like Gill Ave.	01:45:22
	I mean.	01:45:28
	You could put six cars.	01:45:29
	And some of those front yards with the nice driveway and still be.	01:45:31
	Having that.	01:45:35
	Percentage met.	01:45:36
	But then other areas aren't.	01:45:38
	So generous with with space, you know, so I think.	01:45:39
	And then the other thing, I think that.	01:45:44
	Is kind of odd for me as a Seaview.	01:45:46
	Seaview.	01:45:49
	Gets packed every night.	01:45:51
	Is that what your findings were?	01:45:53
	No, our our observations is that at least during that time period that we looked at it, it was about.	01:45:56
	50 to 60% full at night.	01:46:01
	The private parking.	01:46:04
	Behind the sidewalk was.	01:46:06
	Again, it was that the weeknight it was 103%.	01:46:08
	But on the street it wasn't. And I don't know if people, you know, some people are parking out on the street.	01:46:11
	But maybe.	01:46:17
	You feel more comfortable parking your vehicle.	01:46:19
	On the private property rather than than putting it in street. But that's not what we observed. That doesn't mean that it doesn't.	01:46:21
	Yeah, that's, that's a little odd because.	01:46:28
	I live very close there and I do a lot of walking and stuff but.	01:46:30
	It's always packed.	01:46:33
	There's always a mess on the street and everything.	01:46:35
	And then the other thing when I hear the word commercial vehicles and I think we're talking port truck traffic because there are	01:46:38
	times where.	01:46:42
	And I know they're not supposed to do this, but.	01:46:46
	Port auto transport trucks will park on Seaview.	01:46:48
	And then that has a cascade effect but.	01:46:52
	And then the other thing. OK, so.	01:46:59
	I hate to, I hate, I hate doing this dude.	01:47:02
	We're still in the question phase. We have public comments to go, so let's not get too far into the discussion.	01:47:04
	Anyone else? I'm sorry about that Mister drama.	01:47:09
	Anyone else?	01:47:12
	Go ahead. Last question.	01:47:13
	Bulker Park.	01:47:14
	Where most majority of those cars?	01:47:17
	Did they come from the apartments or were they actually Bulker Park?	01:47:19
	Condominiums areas.	01:47:25
	We don't know because we didn't check license plates.	01:47:28
	We just see the car parked and we're noting that in our observations.	01:47:31
	But we do know that the north part.	01:47:35
	Is more heavily parked than the South Park by a little bit so.	01:47:38
	The apartments.	01:47:42
	Do appear to be.	01:47:43
	Having more which is why putting that angle parking on the north part of book or drive.	01:47:45
	Will sort of help them.	01:47:49
	And then?	01:47:52
	Be beneficial for us.	01:47:53
	Because it's a huge part.	01:47:55
	To widen that.	01:47:57
	Area for parking with the residents. I mean I'm pretty sure they would love that.	01:47:59
	To reduce the green area within the park to add parking.	01:48:05
	Yes.	01:48:08
	That's not a.	01:48:11
	If anywhere you can add parking spaces would help alleviate the problem, it's just a matter of do you want to take away park	01:48:14
	space.	01:48:17
	I imagine you don't have.	01:48:21
	A ton of park space in your community.	01:48:22
	But that's a decision you guys would like from that conversation up there too that I think.	01:48:25
	Part of.	01:48:31
	This round of like that low hanging fruit if you can go back to that last slide.	01:48:32
	As was starting with some simple things that don't cost a whole lot. For one thing, we don't have any money in the budget to do	01:48:37
	some of these things I know like a neighboring city to.	01:48:42
	This week just approved $500,000 just to.	01:48:47
	Do some parking engineering.	01:48:50
	Some parking engineering in their downtown so.	01:48:55
	Actually doing some of this engineering and then doing the work can be expensive, so we tried to find these like low hanging	01:48:59
	fruit.	01:49:02
	Simple cost things I think.	01:49:06
	To the Bulker Park question.	01:49:08
	As of now, the city does not even encourage people to use the lot that's there.	01:49:09
	So that's where we're starting with first step is.	01:49:13
	Let's make that decision. Are we going to like encourage the community to actually use that lot and then from there?	01:49:16
	You know, long term we can look at like next steps from there.	01:49:22
	But as of now there are still signs there that say no parking overnight if I remember correctly.	01:49:27
	So, so that was the thought there. I think the other thing because there's a few questions about the lot coverage.	01:49:33
	So we talked about bringing back changes and I think we just skipped it.	01:49:39
	Accidentally when we went through this, but one of those changes was allowing the wider on site driveways for single family	01:49:43
	development. That's essentially that lot coverage issue.	01:49:47
	One of the ideas that we had talked about.	01:49:52
	Because.	01:49:56
	In sort of direct response to the questions that were asked.	01:49:58
	It looked like most cities picked that 50% number. I don't know if that's just arbitrary or you know what the story is, but that	01:50:01
	seemed to be common.	01:50:05
	So what we were proposing?	01:50:09
	To do.	01:50:11
	Was essentially.	01:50:13
	Trying like a.	01:50:15
	Like a pilot project of saying, you know, something like.	01:50:17
	Than like the 1st 20.	01:50:21
	Houses. I'm just throwing a number out there that want to try to expand with this.	01:50:23
	Permeable material.	01:50:29
	The idea being, there's only two reasons for that law coverage. Standard aesthetics.	01:50:31
	Which I think.	01:50:35
	I think I get the sense that we're at the point now where we're willing to give on aesthetics a little bit to get more parking.	01:50:37
	But the second reason is.	01:50:43
	Water.	01:50:46
	The drainage. Drainage. Yeah, drainage.	01:50:48
	And so the idea would be if we said, let's say that we're going to test, test this out and do something that really hasn't been	01:50:51
	done.	01:50:54
	But you know, let the next 20 houses.	01:50:58
	Who want to try this come in.	01:51:01
	And try to they can expand it as long as it's permeable and that addresses the water issue.	01:51:03
	Then from there, then we can come back and see if it worked, if it caused any other problems, if you know, you know all that kind	01:51:08
	of stuff.	01:51:12
	Because from what we found, we couldn't really find other cities that had.	01:51:16
	Really.	01:51:20
	Even tried that yet?	01:51:21
	So I think.	01:51:23
	That is like the last thing I want to see to this is that we tried to do this when we heard about the things like the state laws	01:51:24
	with not not allowing us to require parking for ad use not allowing.	01:51:30
	Are requiring us to now have more.	01:51:36
	Day lighting, it's called.	01:51:40
	And losing spaces.	01:51:41
	So we try, we were trying to do this evaluation to really be proactive.	01:51:43
	I think to Tom's point, looking at the results.	01:51:48
	One of the spaces, one of the areas is already 103% parked so I think cars are are beating us to the punch.	01:51:52
	But.	01:52:00
	We wanted to try some.	01:52:01
	To make sure we came forward with some simple, quick, low cost ideas that get us some spots.	01:52:03
	That'll start helping, and then it's probably not going to be.	01:52:09
	Just that and we're done. It's probably going to be an ongoing conversation, so.	01:52:12
	So, umm.	01:52:16
	I just wanted to add that.	01:52:18
	Great. So let's move to the public comments. Madam Clerk, do we have any public comments?	01:52:21
	Yes, David Scribner.	01:52:26
	Stiff here, sorry.	01:52:32
	So there's.	01:52:37
	I had a bit more written here, but one of my concerns is Ventura County is getting overwhelmed by traffic to start with, you know?	01:52:38
	I was in LA here.	01:52:46
	While back and.	01:52:47
	Horrified by the traffic and I came back.	01:52:49
	You got on rice.	01:52:51
	And it's like, Oh my God, you know, it's coming here so.	01:52:53
	We have way too many new buildings coming in without enough parking without enough.	01:52:56
	Infrastructure. Umm.	01:53:00
	I believe Oxnard has about 30,000 new residents planned in the next little bit.	01:53:02
	And I don't see any improvements in any of the major streets so.	01:53:07
	It's going to be bad.	01:53:11
	There are two things that I would like to bring up with the parking that are we didn't talk about today.	01:53:14
	The first one is for some reason.	01:53:19
	A while back, people painted Gray over the red by fire hydrants.	01:53:22
	People pull up, park in front of it, don't see the fire hydrant, get a ticket.	01:53:28
	I don't know why those are not painted red.	01:53:33
	You got 15 foot on either side of the.	01:53:35
	The fire hydrant.	01:53:39
	And.	01:53:41
	There are times where the parking people get up with a measuring tape and measure it. And if you're.	01:53:42
	6 inches.	01:53:46
	Over you get a ticket.	01:53:47
	Now, if the goal is to.	01:53:49
	Keep that area open so fire trucks gonna access it.	01:53:51
	Then I don't know why they're not painted red, and I have no idea why somebody painted no Gray.	01:53:55
	So you can't even see him.	01:54:00
	I'd like you to think about that.	01:54:02
	The other one.	01:54:05
	That I brought want to bring up is in the Miranda Park.	01:54:06
	We've got the northeast corner of that park, which is been filled with.	01:54:10
	For lack of better word, ne'er do wells for years.	01:54:15
	People that get in there, they drank, they shoot drugs up.	01:54:18
	They're in hiding under the trees.	01:54:21
	The only thing that ever worked to get him out of there was when.	01:54:24
	The area was conned off.	01:54:28
	You would have thought that if they wanted to stay in the park, they'd have moved to another area.	01:54:31
	They don't because they don't want to be seen. That back area is.	01:54:36
	Kind of hidden.	01:54:40
	Back under the trees and there are people there constantly.	01:54:41
	Living in their cars and.	01:54:46
	I would really like a recommendation from the Council to.	01:54:48
	Put a time limit on how long you can park there.	01:54:52
	We stopped cleaning it off because the.	01:54:55
	Pickleball players needed to use it.	01:54:58
	And which is what it was for. But we now we have these people who are pretty much living there creating problems and.	01:55:00
	The only way I can see the.	01:55:07
	When they couldn't park back up under the trees, they left the park. They didn't want to sit in the middle where everybody can see	01:55:11
	what they're doing.	01:55:14
	So I would really like to think about having you.	01:55:17
	Put a 2-3 hour time limit which is not going to bother anybody using the park.	01:55:22
	It would help.	01:55:27
	Thank you.	01:55:29
	Thank you.	01:55:30
	And we have two written comments.	01:55:33
	Good evening Mayor, Mayor, Pro Tem, City Council member, city staff and fellow community members. My name is Hilda Ocampo and I	01:55:36
	reside on Clara St.	01:55:40
	I'm writing to express my deep concerns regarding the current parking regulations affecting front yard usage in our community.	01:55:45
	As the homeowner on a corner property lot providing Apple open space in front my front yard.	01:55:52
	I find the existing ordinance limiting and inefficient.	01:55:58
	The current municipal code spec.	01:56:01
	Specifically, section 10226, subsection C restricts certain activities and front yards, including the parking of inoperable	01:56:03
	vehicles.	01:56:08
	While it does not explicitly prohibit all front yard parking.	01:56:13
	The code imposes limitations on the amount of landscaping allowed in these areas.	01:56:17
	For instance, ordinance #795 limits fixed concrete.	01:56:22
	Asphalt or similar hardscape materials to no more than 50%.	01:56:27
	Of the required front yard area.	01:56:31
	This restriction effectively reduces the available parking space and imposes conditions more typical.	01:56:33
	Of a homeowners association rather than a city ordinance designed to address practical parking needs.	01:56:39
	Given the growing demand for parking, especially with the rise of accessory dwelling units.	01:56:45
	In our community, I respectfully propose amending ordinance #795 to reduce the hardscaping limitation from 50% to 30%.	01:56:51
	This adjustment would allow for wider driveways and additional parking spaces that are not limited to the area directly in front.	01:57:00
	Of garages, thereby increasing parking availability for residents on their own properties.	01:57:07
	I believe this change is a practical solution that will benefit many homeowners and support our communities involving needs.	01:57:13
	Thank you, Hilda J Ocampo.	01:57:20
	Dear Georgiana Alvarez, here is the revised Under 500 words written submission to the City Council.	01:57:27
	I and my family are new residents to Port Hueneme.	01:57:33
	As in May, I bought a townhouse on the 300 block of Surfside Drive. We have an additional car that cannot be accommodated by my	01:57:36
	two single car garages.	01:57:41
	Also, the HOA at Beachport Cottages has 14 visitor parking places for 30 townhouses.	01:57:46
	And does not allow residents to park overnight.	01:57:52
	The parking on the 300 block of Surfside Drive is extremely restrictive with 1/2.	01:57:55
	To our parking limits and no overnight parking.	01:58:00
	Same thing for the parking city lots E&F on Surfside with no overnight parking.	01:58:04
	It is my understanding this has not always been so on Surfside and over in our.	01:58:09
	Overnight parking was not prohibited.	01:58:14
	I know the city is doing a parking survey, however it appears that this is going to be a lengthy endeavor and I need a resolution	01:58:17
	pretty quickly.	01:58:20
	Councilmember Stephen Gamos, who I spoke with briefly last week, suggested to me that it was possible to get a parking permit for	01:58:25
	one of the city lots as a resident.	01:58:30
	I'm requesting as a homeowner resident, a parking permit for overnight parking either on the street of the 300 block of Surfside	01:58:35
	Drive or in one of the city parking lots on Surfside.	01:58:41
	This is something that many municipalities do for a fee.	01:58:46
	In addition, the side street industrial also has very restrictive parking and no overnight parking, which I understand was also.	01:58:50
	Not always so restricted.	01:58:59
	The cul-de-sac area at the end of industrial is where there is unrestricted parking. However, there are only about 5 parking	01:59:00
	spaces that are always full.	01:59:04
	I do not know why the parking is so restrictive. I understand it is close to the beach and there are always parking concerns.	01:59:09
	However, I believe it is reasonable for residents to have the right to park on city streets without over restrictive parking	01:59:15
	limitations.	01:59:19
	I had planned to come to the City Council meeting in person and present this verbally, however due to unforeseen circumstances I'm	01:59:23
	not able to attend tonight.	01:59:27
	Thank you for your consideration, Jeanette Orlando.	01:59:31
	And that concludes public comment.	01:59:34
	Great. Thank you.	01:59:37
	So we we have before us a recommendation to receive and file this report and direct staff as to what additional actions, if any.	01:59:38
	They want, they want staff, we want staff to complete.	01:59:46
	Or perform.	01:59:49
	Other analysis Is there a motion and a second?	01:59:51
	Motion to receive a file and to approve the staff recommendations.	01:59:54
	Is there a second?	02:00:00
	So just to be clear on that, I think.	02:00:02
	We didn't listen in the report, but the staff recommendations are the to start with the immediate short term recommendations,	02:00:04
	correct? OK, thank you.	02:00:08
	Great. Is there a second?	02:00:13
	I second.	02:00:15
	Any further discussion?	02:00:17
	Yes. So I'd like to comment on the 50%.	02:00:19
	Issue that's being discussed. So that was put in there by the Landscape Policy Committee that was developed a couple years ago to	02:00:24
	overhaul.	02:00:27
	And update our landscape policy. And the reason for that was many.	02:00:30
	Reasons.	02:00:34
	Some of them being environmental infrastructure.	02:00:36
	Umm and landscape that is because aesthetic issues, green space and we just didn't want.	02:00:39
	Our yards looking like Oxnard where people are parking multiple cars in the front yard and it starts to look kind of trashy. So we	02:00:45
	wanted our community to look.	02:00:49
	The way it does now, which is nice and clean and people have green space.	02:00:54
	And it's just that was the reason why we kept the 50%.	02:00:58
	Basically.	02:01:02
	All right, any other comments?	02:01:03
	Yeah.	02:01:05
	I have a comment. OK, go right ahead.	02:01:07
	Yeah, so.	02:01:09
	I just think that you could still aesthetically make your house look good.	02:01:11
	With 30%.	02:01:15
	Landscape.	02:01:17
	Just gonna.	02:01:18
	It to me it's.	02:01:20
	It's being in force.	02:01:22
	And it's.	02:01:25
	Adus coming?	02:01:28
	More and more.	02:01:29
	Parking is getting scarce.	02:01:31
	I we're, we're setting them up for more tickets. That's what we're doing.	02:01:33
	And code enforcement is very aggressive.	02:01:39
	And something needs to be done.	02:01:41
	We just can't keep.	02:01:44
	This. We can't keep this just because it's aesthetic.	02:01:45
	Are we going to worry about aesthetics? Are we going to worry about parking? Well, it wasn't just aesthetics. It was, I mean.	02:01:50
	A lot less soil in the yard causes potential flooding rain. Less ground.	02:01:56
	You know, doesn't allow rainwater to.	02:02:01
	Absorb and it could cause infrastructure issues for.	02:02:04
	You know, for houses, water seeps in underneath if you can't.	02:02:07
	Absorb into the ground. So there were multiple reasons.	02:02:10
	Not just not just aesthetics.	02:02:13
	I think I would.	02:02:16
	Different. I would beg to differ that more concrete.	02:02:18
	Away from your house would actually benefit your house, keeping water running away from it.	02:02:22
	I I just think it's it's too.	02:02:29
	It's too intrusive to.	02:02:31
	Single family residence when there's plenty of room in your in your front yard.	02:02:33
	There's a way to aesthetically make it look.	02:02:38
	Appealing.	02:02:41
	And still park another car.	02:02:43
	In your front driveway.	02:02:45
	Councilmember Gamma.	02:02:49
	Yeah.	02:02:50
	I think these short term recommendations are.	02:02:51
	I think we all.	02:02:55
	My consent says we all agree that we need to try to implement these and.	02:02:56
	Free up parking where we can.	02:03:01
	For the bigger.	02:03:03
	Items. Umm.	02:03:04
	I really do think that.	02:03:06
	We need to come back on this and and think about long term.	02:03:08
	I know of a.	02:03:12
	Of Adu.	02:03:13
	Over here on Oak.	02:03:15
	Court, uh.	02:03:16
	And there is no part is the one place in Winnemi where there's no parking. And so sometimes and then.	02:03:18
	One house has a really big lot and he.	02:03:24
	Put a three unit at you in the back he's got.	02:03:27
	RV on the side of his house, a big storage container and he still has.	02:03:31
	A big old driveway in his front with three or four cars on it.	02:03:36
	You know, so every every place is different.	02:03:40
	You know, so I think we really have to take it case by case and try to.	02:03:44
	And then the bigger items like Pleasant Valley.	02:03:49
	I think that's a great idea, however.	02:03:55
	People race down that road.	02:03:58
	And so, you know, there'd have to be maybe some speed humps put in.	02:04:00
	I mean it's a really busy Rd. in the morning.	02:04:05
	Especially when the gates open and people are pouring on the work so.	02:04:08
	I think short term, yes, we should do this, but I think in the long term we really need to start.	02:04:12
	Really trying to create more parking and then.	02:04:17
	You know, I do know that with over at the collection, all those apartments, if you ever try to go over there and visit somebody	02:04:21
	and park, you can't.	02:04:24
	It's impossible to park over there and my understanding is is that.	02:04:28
	They you have to use your one car garage.	02:04:32
	And they actually limit the amount of cars you could.	02:04:36
	Go there.	02:04:39
	With so I don't.	02:04:40
	Hope that we're going to get to that point.	02:04:42
	But.	02:04:44
	When there is a lack of parking and garages aren't being used and and driveways aren't being used, I mean.	02:04:46
	I don't think the city wants to be a HOA, but I do believe we have to make accommodations and then.	02:04:55
	To the lady in the HOA.	02:05:00
	I I could, I don't know if you.	02:05:03
	We had a family on our street that had three college kids.	02:05:07
	And they all had a car.	02:05:11
	And they're all living at home, going to college, and then when they graduate, they move on. And now we don't have a parking	02:05:12
	problem, but we used to have a parking problem, so.	02:05:16
	You know, how do we?	02:05:20
	How do we accommodate the short term problems versus the long term problems and?	02:05:22
	Back to to Pleasant Valley.	02:05:27
	You know, if you're gonna put parking on the other side of the street, that's gonna benefit everyone over here is the Navy's gonna	02:05:29
	agree to it. But then you got to slow people down. I mean, it just it just kind of like cascading effect, so.	02:05:35
	I think we need to.	02:05:42
	Go with these short term recommendations and over the next two to 3-4 years I think we're we're going to have to make.	02:05:44
	Additional.	02:05:50
	Harder.	02:05:52
	More costly adjustments to accommodate.	02:05:53
	Parking.	02:05:57
	Great. Thank you, Councilman Hernandez.	02:05:59
	OK, no other comments.	02:06:03
	Can I just note with the short term recommendations?	02:06:05
	The I know the lot coverage topic is, is a hot topic that we hear a lot on. I think we will bring try to bring that back with the	02:06:09
	short term and a long term solution.	02:06:13
	Sort of first priority before.	02:06:18
	Before some of the others. So that that I know we have a lot of opinions on, but we'll bring it back so we can make some decisions	02:06:20
	on that.	02:06:23
	And it costs no money.	02:06:27
	Potentially, yeah, Yeah.	02:06:29
	If we do it right, yeah.	02:06:30
	OK, great. Madam Clerk, please take a vote. I'm gonna take a roll call. Vote Councilmember Goma.	02:06:31
	Yes, Councilmember Hernandez. Yes, Councilmember Perez. Yes, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez. Yes, Mayor McQueen Lejon. Yes. Motion passes	02:06:38
	unanimously.	02:06:42
	Thank you. And thank you, Mr. Camarillo, for your report.	02:06:47
	All right, we'll move to item number 17, Veterans Advisory Ad Hoc Committee discussion.	02:06:50
	Will staff please present the report?	02:06:55
	City Manager, Yes, Thank you.	02:06:59
	So the.	02:07:01
	Back in April of 2025, the council agreed to.	02:07:05
	Give staff direction to move forward with starting an ad hoc veterans advisory committee with step one being.	02:07:11
	Advertise umm.	02:07:18
	Through all our.	02:07:20
	The the same way we advertise all of our commissions and committees through our social media and through.	02:07:22
	Our website.	02:07:28
	And making the applications available.	02:07:30
	For applicants to participate.	02:07:33
	And so we.	02:07:35
	Advertised those.	02:07:37
	Over the last couple of months.	02:07:41
	We received I think it was 2 applications initially.	02:07:44
	We umm.	02:07:48
	We wanted to bring this back before the summer break so we can get working on it, so we gave a couple weeks time extension.	02:07:49
	We got a third applicant.	02:07:56
	I was hoping that we'd get two more applicants because it happens sometimes that, you know, the day before we're going to council	02:07:58
	you get the two other applicants. But.	02:08:01
	As of now, we've received 3 applicants.	02:08:05
	So we wanted to bring those forward to the Council again, like I said a moment ago.	02:08:09
	Really. Because we're about to go into a summer break and so I think.	02:08:13
	There's an opportunity for the council to decide.	02:08:17
	Depending on how to proceed, if there's some work that can be done, then over the summer is usually a good time to get started on	02:08:20
	it, so we wanted to bring it back.	02:08:25
	There's.	02:08:30
	Options that the Council has at this point, one could simply be extending the application period further.	02:08:31
	And.	02:08:38
	Even just saying extend the application period until we have a minimum of five applicants and then we can do that.	02:08:40
	We just didn't want to leave people.	02:08:46
	Hanging in the meantime.	02:08:48
	Without that decision having been made.	02:08:50
	Another could be modifying the committees membership criteria.	02:08:54
	Such as, since it's an ad hoc saying that we're going to start with.	02:08:57
	Three members for example, and then.	02:09:01
	You know, have them, you know, get to work and then.	02:09:04
	It doesn't mean that the.	02:09:08
	Later, that couldn't be.	02:09:10
	Adjusted umm.	02:09:12
	Or alternate direction. There's probably 1000 different options.	02:09:14
	But we wanted to bring it back to council.	02:09:20
	For Council to consider and we included the three applications that we've currently received.	02:09:23
	Actually, it looks OK. Yeah, it's 3.	02:09:30
	That may be a fourth one did sneak in, but.	02:09:32
	So we brought in the applications we've received and the item is for the council to determine how to proceed.	02:09:35
	Thank you.	02:09:42
	Any questions for city manager?	02:09:52
	Councilmember.	02:09:55
	Is anything presenting preventing us from going with three?	02:09:56
	No.	02:10:02
	So if we let's say we.	02:10:05
	The council approved 3.	02:10:08
	And we gave, we still gave an extension and we.	02:10:10
	Say we got another.	02:10:14
	5 applicants.	02:10:15
	And then we.	02:10:17
	Pro ceed with just.	02:10:19
	Picking the two additional.	02:10:21
	Yeah. I think what I'd recommend at that point then is say, let's start with three.	02:10:23
	And I think, well, actually there's sort of two paths there that the council could pick is we could start with three and the	02:10:28
	council could just say that we'll take the next two applicants. I think we could technically do that because it's just, it's an ad	02:10:32
	hoc, it's not a formal committee.	02:10:36
	Or the other would be.	02:10:41
	Start with three and then when we get more applications, bring them back to council to be considered.	02:10:43
	So either of those options. So I think that's I think that's a great idea.	02:10:48
	I just want to put this on the record. My only concern would be if we didn't get additional.	02:10:52
	And one decided not to follow through, then we only have two and we can't do business with two people.	02:10:57
	So I just want to put that out there just so everybody understands.	02:11:03
	That's a good point, So.	02:11:08
	Yeah, I think then I would.	02:11:09
	Wanted just to be clear then that if we assuming that three are interested in participating, then we could move forward with those	02:11:12
	and so we could.	02:11:16
	We could reach out to them and and.	02:11:20
	Make sure of that. But as of now they had submitted their applications. We haven't heard that anybody's withdrawn them.	02:11:22
	One of the reasons why we did bring it forward because we thought about should we just extend it, you know, through the summer,	02:11:28
	But it's possible sometimes that people will move on after, you know, a couple of months of waiting, so.	02:11:33
	We wanted to just at least be able to give an update.	02:11:38
	Councilmember Gama.	02:11:41
	I'd like to make a motion.	02:11:43
	Wherever we're at that point where we get a.	02:11:45
	If they're, let's see if there's any more. Any other questions?	02:11:47
	Any other questions?	02:11:50
	OK, if there are no other questions, let's get we'll take a motion in a second.	02:11:51
	Yeah, I would just like to make a motion to approve the three and start the work and.	02:11:55
	Before.	02:12:02
	Have a conversation with the three, make sure you're still interested, start the work and let's get going and.	02:12:03
	So like to make a motion. Before we take a motion, are there any public comments?	02:12:09
	No public comment? Great. Go right ahead.	02:12:13
	So that'll be my motion.	02:12:16
	I second.	02:12:18
	2nd.	02:12:19
	Any other discussion?	02:12:21
	If not, Madam Clerk, please take a vote.	02:12:22
	All in favor.	02:12:25
	Aye, all opposed.	02:12:26
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:12:28
	Great. Thank you. Let's move on to item number 18, strategic partnership, joint meeting options including the Port of Winimi.	02:12:31
	Oxnard Harbor District.	02:12:39
	Will staff please present the report?	02:12:41
	Thank you.	02:12:43
	The this item is on the agenda today. It's we've actually had a strategic partnerships discussion a few times this year.	02:12:47
	And we?	02:12:56
	The Council had discussed a few times how to structure a strategic partnership conversation. What agencies would be involved in a	02:12:58
	strategic partnership conversation?	02:13:02
	And I think most recently when we discussed it, I think it was about end of April.	02:13:07
	The council asked staff to put some thought into how a meeting could be held and returned to council with.	02:13:13
	With some options on how a meeting could be held.	02:13:20
	As we mentioned the staff report, in the last couple of months, we've had a lot of conversation related to.	02:13:24
	The revenue sharing agreement with the port and other questions related to.	02:13:30
	The city and port collaboration.	02:13:37
	Including at the end of our last council meeting, I think there was 4 different.	02:13:40
	Requests to discuss items with the port.	02:13:45
	So.	02:13:49
	With all of that in mind, we.	02:13:50
	Are recommending that the Council.	02:13:54
	Consider starting and having the first strategic partnership conversation with the port.	02:13:56
	In what would essentially be a joint meeting format with all 5 council members.	02:14:01
	All 5 commissioners they.	02:14:07
	City manager and City attorney and the CEO and.	02:14:11
	Port Attorney.	02:14:15
	And having starting with a.	02:14:17
	Meeting that the agencies could work over the next couple of months with on an agenda, with that agenda being discussed at a	02:14:20
	future council meeting in a future report meeting.	02:14:25
	To put an agenda together and a.	02:14:31
	Make sure everybody agrees on a process for a joint meeting.	02:14:34
	And then the staff report includes potential goals based on a lot of the questions that.	02:14:38
	Have been asked a lot of the.	02:14:43
	Topics that have been discussed between the city and the port.	02:14:46
	That essentially we could just get everybody in the room and have.	02:14:49
	Those conversations.	02:14:52
	So we.	02:14:54
	Are bringing that forward with that recommendation. I think the only thing last thing I want to add is.	02:14:56
	I think in some of the comments maybe there is a concern that we wouldn't continue to have the.	02:15:01
	Joint Committee of two and two.	02:15:07
	But our thought.	02:15:10
	Is that that?	02:15:11
	Proposed or intended at all?	02:15:14
	The joint committee.	02:15:17
	Exists and would still exist.	02:15:18
	This was a.	02:15:20
	In response to a council request to have a strategic partnership meeting that would include the port.	02:15:24
	Which is just a.	02:15:30
	It's a full group to let all 10 members.	02:15:32
	Be able to have input and provide.	02:15:35
	Feedback, guidance, etc.	02:15:38
	So I'm happy to answer any questions but.	02:15:41
	We propose this. We note that.	02:15:44
	When you do try to schedule a meeting with two Brown act.	02:15:46
	Bodies 2 full boards.	02:15:50
	It usually requires some back and forth. It means it has to be brought to council meeting, then a port meeting and then, you know,	02:15:53
	potentially back and forth a couple times.	02:15:57
	So one reason we.	02:16:02
	Wanted to bring this.	02:16:04
	For now.	02:16:06
	On top of.	02:16:07
	The fact that we've been discussing it is that.	02:16:08
	If we started now.	02:16:11
	My estimate is it would probably take a few months to actually.	02:16:13
	Get everything set, an agenda set and a date set for.	02:16:16
	For both groups.	02:16:20
	So I think starting now means.	02:16:22
	Basically aiming for a September, October meeting.	02:16:25
	And if we don't have.	02:16:28
	Agree soon to having such a meeting. It probably won't happen this year so.	02:16:31
	It's just something.	02:16:35
	To keep in mind regarding timing that.	02:16:38
	These meetings don't come together very quickly typically so.	02:16:40
	So with that.	02:16:45
	We're happy to answer it.	02:16:46
	Sonic Boom.	02:16:48
	OK, OK, all good.	02:16:50
	Take it easy.	02:16:52
	All right. Thank you.	02:16:53
	Great. Thank you. City Manager questions. Do you have any questions? I have a comment so.	02:16:56
	Yeah, like it or not.	02:17:00
	Bound by the Brown Act and I think.	02:17:02
	Again, like it or not, you know we have to follow the rules.	02:17:05
	And.	02:17:09
	We probably don't like the fact that it's so hard to get these two bodies together, however.	02:17:11
	You know where?	02:17:16
	We have a public agency partnership like no other in the county.	02:17:18
	And I think we owe it to the citizens of Port Hueneme.	02:17:24
	To have conversations that matter.	02:17:28
	And were inhibited.	02:17:31
	To having those conversations right now. Now we have.	02:17:33
	Two members that are supposed to go meet.	02:17:36
	On the for the Community Benefit Fund.	02:17:38
	And you know, that went off the rails last time in my opinion.	02:17:43
	But I can't talk to it. I can't talk to you about it because it's a Brown Act violation.	02:17:46
	I can't say to the two members, they're going to go over there, hey, make sure you talk about this. It's a Brown Act violation.	02:17:51
	So like it or not.	02:17:58
	I think we need to figure out a way.	02:18:00
	To have conversations that matter.	02:18:03
	That don't put us in a position to violate the Brown Act.	02:18:06
	And.	02:18:10
	It probably will be uncomfortable at first, but that's OK.	02:18:12
	You know, we just.	02:18:16
	We have to have a mechanism maybe to have two meetings a year.	02:18:17
	That's what I would hope would happen, but.	02:18:21
	You know to.	02:18:24
	The Community benefit to member to member.	02:18:26
	You know, that's for the Community Benefit Fund.	02:18:30
	Because someone's shaking their head, but you know, that's an opinion.	02:18:33
	And I.	02:18:37
	Don't believe?	02:18:40
	Anyone of us should be silenced and if.	02:18:42
	The five of us have an obligation.	02:18:45
	To be a partner.	02:18:49
	The port.	02:18:52
	And we have to do it in a public manner. We have to have public conversations. And I think that's what this.	02:18:54
	To me is all about.	02:18:59
	Great. Thank you, Councilmember Hernandez.	02:19:01
	Thank you, Mayor.	02:19:05
	Umm, I thought there was kind of two issues in this staff report. 1 was.	02:19:08
	To talk about this.	02:19:13
	Joint well the strategic.	02:19:17
	Planning discussion.	02:19:19
	And somehow it's turned into a joint city port meeting.	02:19:21
	I believe that the original.	02:19:26
	Intent when I introduced the idea of a.	02:19:28
	Strategic planning meeting it was.	02:19:32
	Bring not just the port together, but the community to get together. A representative from from our school districts. A	02:19:35
	representative.	02:19:38
	From our.	02:19:42
	Boys and Girls Club, The Port, the Navy Base, Winnie Coalition All.	02:19:44
	Critical stakeholders in our community and talk about something that's very specific and at this point I would say economic	02:19:50
	development might be the the topic.	02:19:54
	So that was my vision for a strategic planning session now.	02:19:59
	Umm, I know that would take a lot of work.	02:20:06
	I don't think.	02:20:09
	Having to post the meetings should be such an obstacle we if we are talking about doing a meeting with the port.	02:20:10
	With both full bodies attending.	02:20:17
	It's not that big of a deal. We've done it before. I think we've done it almost twice before.	02:20:19
	We've done it twice and it's not. It shouldn't be.	02:20:25
	A barrier to us having that kind of meeting, however, if we do decide to do that.	02:20:29
	I think we have to be very.	02:20:34
	Specific on what it is we want from the port, what it is that.	02:20:37
	We want to talk about what are our questions and.	02:20:41
	We have yet to figure that out up here on the dais, which we can do very easily.	02:20:45
	In a public discussion is get down to the.	02:20:51
	Essence of what it is we want from the port.	02:20:56
	So before we even get into a joint meeting, I think we need.	02:20:59
	To be able to determine that.	02:21:04
	Now do we need a joint meeting to do that?	02:21:06
	Personally, I feel we don't.	02:21:09
	When we appointed the mayor and the mayor Pro Tem to represent or the City Council.	02:21:12
	They were appointed.	02:21:17
	They were entrusted.	02:21:19
	And I have full confidence in them that they can represent this council.	02:21:20
	At a body given at the port city meetings and.	02:21:25
	Take to those meetings are.	02:21:29
	Comments whether it's the community benefit fund or it's the settlement agreements or it's.	02:21:32
	Talking about other issues, there is nothing that says in the settlement agreements that we can't do that.	02:21:39
	In fact, there's precedent.	02:21:45
	An earlier agenda items and in earlier minutes that other items indeed were discussed.	02:21:47
	At the city port meeting, other than just the community benefit fund.	02:21:53
	It's the Brown act that's the problem here, but it's not a Brown act if we're discussing it here in an open forum.	02:21:58
	So.	02:22:05
	Yeah, it's not a brown. If we discuss it here in an open forum in public, there's the trans.	02:22:09
	That's where we can be transparent in the issues that we want to take.	02:22:13
	To this.	02:22:18
	Joint court meeting.	02:22:19
	So I would like to be able to know that at the next port city meeting that we're not going to run into a situation where.	02:22:21
	We tie the hands of our representatives in discussing any issues related to city port relationships.	02:22:30
	I expect the committee.	02:22:38
	Representatives to glean from our City Council.	02:22:40
	The discussion items to to get them narrowed down to a.	02:22:44
	At a point where they can intelligently discuss them at the port city meetings, I would like to see them meet with the city	02:22:50
	manager so the three of you can actually.	02:22:55
	Come up with your strategy about what messaging we want to take to that meeting.	02:22:59
	Go equipped with staff reports. Go equipped with the settlement agreements. Have staff put together a binder so you have those.	02:23:04
	Those pieces of information at your fingertips. And then we should always have an agendas meeting before the city port.	02:23:11
	Meeting. So those are kind of my recommendations so we don't run into what happened at the last meeting.	02:23:18
	And and give you that authority and the tools that you need.	02:23:24
	To fully have a.	02:23:28
	Productive discussion.	02:23:30
	Mayor Pro Tem and then we'll come back.	02:23:32
	OK.	02:23:35
	Couple things that I know we're bound by the agreement on.	02:23:36
	That particular meeting.	02:23:40
	Just reading.	02:23:42
	The agreement.	02:23:43
	However, I will make a comment I.	02:23:44
	Things that what?	02:23:47
	That we need to kind of expand on is.	02:23:48
	That's the DC trip.	02:23:51
	Like what do we want?	02:23:53
	To what do we need to do?	02:23:56
	To so the poor can help us lobby.	02:23:59
	Like that needs to come from and we need direction so that we can take it.	02:24:01
	With staff.	02:24:06
	To because they have a lobbyist.	02:24:08
	In DC they pay for and they would.	02:24:11
	Sounds like they would help us with that so.	02:24:13
	Again, I'm just thinking out loud.	02:24:15
	Free. Willing.	02:24:18
	So let me let me just ask you a question.	02:24:21
	So are you what you're going through right now you're giving us, you're talking about ideas for the conversation. So when we do.	02:24:22
	If when we do go to the port meeting.	02:24:31
	There should be some things that we can talk about and it's.	02:24:34
	It's things that.	02:24:38
	This joint meeting does which.	02:24:39
	It pre plans that DC trip.	02:24:42
	Which is part of the CBF, right? So the only reason I asked that is because we're not at the point to talk about what those items	02:24:46
	are just yet. We're actually talking about if.	02:24:50
	We should have it.	02:24:56
	Well, that's what I'm saying. Once it's decided if we, we should.	02:24:57
	If anything with keeping within the CBF.	02:25:01
	That DC trip is part of the CBF and it's something that we should have.	02:25:06
	Control over.	02:25:10
	Once the council says, hey, we want you guys to lobby for these.	02:25:13
	Things and then we take it with us.	02:25:17
	That's one. Grant writing is another CBF item.	02:25:19
	And it's just sitting there.	02:25:23
	Idle not doing nothing.	02:25:24
	We need direction.	02:25:27
	Let's let's move on that.	02:25:29
	And instead of having a joint meeting, why can't we do?	02:25:33
	A joint town hall.	02:25:36
	Why can't we do that?	02:25:40
	The that isn't a possibility.	02:25:47
	So I think that's one of the.	02:25:50
	The ideas what this is asking the council what structure you would want for that meeting. We proposed one, but but it can be	02:25:52
	something else identified by the council. So let me let me just kind of summarize what you're communicating to us is that those	02:25:57
	items on the CBF that we have already we have they haven't been approved by the port.	02:26:03
	But we have all we have agreed on them if they were approved.	02:26:09
	By the combined group, those are some topics that we should be freely able to talk about in.	02:26:13
	With preparation, yes, got it.	02:26:20
	Let's go around.	02:26:23
	Sorry, Councilman.	02:26:25
	So yeah, I agree with that. First of all, the grant writing is already there. It's already been approved. It's just waiting for	02:26:26
	our direction as to what.	02:26:30
	Where we want to put it.	02:26:34
	And we already know and because I've heard this before the.	02:26:35
	Poor already wants to do.	02:26:38
	DC trip, that's their plan all along. So we should probably get in mind as to what we want to do, what that looks like.	02:26:43
	We need to plan that, but the problem I have with the port city meetings is.	02:26:48
	They put on an agenda.	02:26:52
	There's always an agenda.	02:26:54
	Ahead of time.	02:26:55
	But they didn't stick to the agenda.	02:26:57
	They went off the agenda.	02:27:00
	And that's the problem with being able to prepare for a meeting.	02:27:01
	When you go in.	02:27:05
	To the agenda that you get from them.	02:27:06
	As to what we're going to talk about, and you go there ready to talk about what's on the agenda and then they throw all these	02:27:08
	other things that aren't on the agenda.	02:27:12
	That's the issue that I have.	02:27:15
	How do we get them back to talking about the agenda items and sticking to those?	02:27:17
	That way we can have.	02:27:21
	Functional discussions and be prepared for meetings ahead of time.	02:27:23
	Thank you.	02:27:29
	Yeah. And it's back to the Brown Act thing. So it's very difficult unless we were to have an agenda item and we're going to talk	02:27:32
	about ABCD as it relates to the port. And then when we decide, OK, these are our five items that we want to have a conversation	02:27:37
	with the port.	02:27:42
	Then we have to get them to agree to that and then we have a joint meeting, which is a big ask, but.	02:27:47
	We're partners.	02:27:54
	We got to work on this partnership.	02:27:56
	And when we do things like, well, we'll have our attorney get back to you, That doesn't sound like a partnership to me.	02:27:59
	And so I feel like it's imperative.	02:28:06
	To improve our relationship, our partnership that we.	02:28:10
	Have a joint meeting so that we could talk.	02:28:13
	Talk and have an agenda.	02:28:16
	But yeah, I was.	02:28:19
	You know what? My name got thrown in. I didn't see my name on the agenda. I would have loved to come and, you know, speak on my	02:28:20
	behalf.	02:28:23
	But you know, my name gets thrown out as others.	02:28:27
	But I think what we need.	02:28:30
	We really need to work on our partnership.	02:28:32
	And this is the most unique.	02:28:36
	Public agency Partnership in Ventura County.	02:28:39
	The broader LA County, I can't think of any other.	02:28:43
	I mean, of course, Long Beach and LA Port.	02:28:47
	You know, we we have to.	02:28:50
	We have to change the way we're doing things and the only.	02:28:52
	And the Brown acts the biggest issue.	02:28:56
	Because.	02:28:58
	If we're going to send two people over.	02:28:59
	I'll wait before you go over, I got one more thing I want. You know, I don't feel like you're you know that it's your job to.	02:29:01
	I I need to speak for myself.	02:29:09
	As each of us do.	02:29:11
	And, you know, when we have a joint meeting, we could do that, then hopefully it could become a little more comfortable as time	02:29:13
	goes on. It's going to be uncomfortable at first, but I really think we should work towards that. OK, I'm going to say two things	02:29:19
	and then I'm going to go to Councilmember Hernandez. So thank you for saying that, Councilmember Gama.	02:29:25
	That's one of the things I've communicated.	02:29:31
	You know, sometimes it's difficult to be on this day as and really understand we're.	02:29:33
	Everybody's coming from.	02:29:37
	So for me and Mayor Pro Tem to go over and take your voices.	02:29:39
	To a meeting. I don't think that that's something that you all should hold us responsible for.	02:29:43
	Because if there is a dialogue.	02:29:47
	Right. The dialogue that I have is not going to come from you, it's going to come from me.	02:29:50
	And that may not be where you're coming from.	02:29:54
	So that's the difficulty that I have.	02:29:57
	When, when the when the council would say, OK, you're open to have these discussions.	02:30:00
	So yes, I think it's important for us to.	02:30:05
	Have some pre meetings to discuss things. I think it's important for us as a committee.	02:30:09
	Port and city to.	02:30:16
	Discuss and agree.	02:30:20
	On the topics.	02:30:22
	I think it's important for us all to have information going into the meeting.	02:30:24
	So that we can actually have an open dialogue.	02:30:28
	And so I think that's some areas where I think that we could do better.	02:30:32
	In those meetings.	02:30:36
	That's been communicated. We're going to continue to communicate that. It's important for us to be able to understand what we're	02:30:37
	going to be talking about.	02:30:41
	So that we can have some.	02:30:44
	Informed decisions. And so we're going to continue to push that. The other thing, I just wanted to go back to the agenda item.	02:30:46
	I know the subject says strategic partnership, a joint meeting options.	02:30:52
	What the port of wine? Me.	02:30:56
	But this item says the recommendation is that the City Council consider options for City Council collaboration with strategic	02:30:58
	partners.	02:31:02
	Including.	02:31:07
	Port Hueneme Harbor District. So this is really about strategic planning.	02:31:08
	In a larger sense, it's not just about the port, but we're just talking about the port.	02:31:12
	As one because we had already had a conversation about.	02:31:17
	This collective meeting.	02:31:20
	Right. So this is just an opportunity to talk about that.	02:31:23
	So. So this item is about extended partnerships.	02:31:26
	But tonight we were just talking about.	02:31:30
	The port, so it's not just specific.	02:31:32
	To the port.	02:31:35
	Did you have something? Yeah, I did want to say that.	02:31:37
	You know my perception of what the role of the committee representatives are. I mean, there's no mistake that the mayor and the	02:31:41
	mayor Pro Tem.	02:31:45
	Are assigned to represent this council.	02:31:51
	On the Port City Committee, it's a very important.	02:31:54
	Relationship that that you're given the responsibility to help build.	02:31:58
	And we don't have.	02:32:03
	And while we might have individual thoughts and personal opinions.	02:32:05
	What you take to those meetings should be the consensus. We said you, not with our personal.	02:32:09
	Ideas of how things should be run, but we come to a consensus on those items that we want you to.	02:32:15
	Represent on our behalf.	02:32:22
	So this idea that somebody.	02:32:24
	Personal opinion isn't going to be counted or you don't get to speak for yourself.	02:32:27
	It does not relevant when you're when you're representing the entire council.	02:32:32
	And so my expectation is that.	02:32:36
	You have.	02:32:40
	Because you're mayor and mayor Pro Tem that you have the ability to synthesize what's been discussed at these meetings. These	02:32:43
	meetings are open meetings.	02:32:47
	They're public on public record.	02:32:51
	There should be no restrictions on your ability to take what you've gleaned from these meetings and share at the Port City	02:32:53
	Committee meetings.	02:32:58
	So if we need.	02:33:02
	If you feel that, Mister Gamma, that your voice is not being heard.	02:33:05
	I would like to know what it is or going to.	02:33:10
	What you think you're going to want to say at a?	02:33:12
	At a meeting that you can't say here in front of us, I would like to know how do you build consensus without having a conversation	02:33:15
	amongst the five of us, so.	02:33:20
	No, we're not.	02:33:25
	There was they, there was an agenda.	02:33:26
	They went off topic on the agenda.	02:33:30
	And So what you're saying is, is that?	02:33:33
	These are two representatives.	02:33:35
	Are with a consensus of the five and I'm telling you no because we never had a conversation in the future.	02:33:39
	Hopefully have that consensus. If we do what we has been suggesting then the other the other we stayed on hold on, we stayed on	02:33:45
	message.	02:33:48
	And I said that last meeting.	02:33:53
	I would have walked out of the meeting.	02:33:55
	Frankly because OK, but but here's here's my point.	02:33:57
	You can't.	02:34:03
	You can't have a consensus unless we have a conversation where all five of us vote. That's why we have this agenda item and we're	02:34:04
	discussing right now.	02:34:08
	The first time.	02:34:12
	OK, umm.	02:34:13
	We've got to move forward so.	02:34:14
	So how again?	02:34:16
	How do we?	02:34:20
	If an item is going to be discussed, both sides have to agree to the agenda and the item, and then both sides have to have a	02:34:22
	conversation.	02:34:26
	So on our side, we send mayor, mayor Pro Tem.	02:34:31
	On their side.	02:34:36
	They send not the president and the vice president, right? Yeah, but that doesn't matter. The contract doesn't matter. Contract	02:34:37
	doesn't state they have to send the president.	02:34:41
	It just has two commissioners.	02:34:45
	OK, well maybe these are maybe these are some of the things that we could start discussing like.	02:34:48
	How could we?	02:34:52
	Have a joint meeting that's.	02:34:55
	And relevant to the issues that.	02:34:58
	By consensus, we want to talk about.	02:35:02
	Yeah, we need to have a discussion here first on what those issues are. So, so I think we that is not the agenda item. So we won't	02:35:04
	be able to do that today. I think today what we're talking about is.	02:35:10
	Umm, the structure.	02:35:17
	Yeah, this drug, was it specifically about having the joint meeting a city manager?	02:35:19
	That that's not what is represented in the recommendation it's about.	02:35:25
	Taking the next step on the strategic partnership meeting that we've been discussing.	02:35:31
	Throughout the year.	02:35:37
	And then?	02:35:38
	As we said, we focused on the port due to the last Council meeting, all the requests from the council to talk about the port right	02:35:39
	as part of that sooner rather than later.	02:35:44
	OK, great Council.	02:35:48
	I don't think we have to be in a room to make decisions today.	02:35:50
	To to move for this item.	02:35:54
	Because it's going to take us time to even.	02:35:58
	Get the item.	02:36:01
	Get feedback from.	02:36:03
	Our partners, the port.	02:36:05
	And so we will have time. We have a lot of avenues that we can use.	02:36:07
	Considering calling a special meeting.	02:36:11
	So I don't think that we can, we need to belabor this issue.	02:36:14
	For having the conversations.	02:36:18
	At a later date.	02:36:20
	So are there any other questions?	02:36:22
	Is there a motion and a second for the agenda item?	02:36:25
	I'll move.	02:36:31
	What are we moving?	02:36:32
	That staff, that based on disease.	02:36:34
	Tonight's discussion that staff go back.	02:36:37
	Come up with a.	02:36:42
	I guess an option we have to vote on whether or not we want to do this joint meeting or exactly that's that's yeah.	02:36:44
	That's what's.	02:36:50
	On the table right now.	02:36:52
	So do we want the staff to go back and work toward establishing this?	02:36:53
	Joint meeting.	02:36:58
	With both bodies.	02:36:59
	To move forward and then we can we can do the rest. Having the discussions within ourselves. That sounded like a motion.	02:37:01
	She made a motion, yes.	02:37:07
	Second, you made the motion, is that correct?	02:37:09
	Yeah, I guess. I mean I'm not OK, so not really for doing this joint meeting, but so hold on so.	02:37:12
	Is there a motion? Do you rescind your? I'm gonna rescind it, Yeah. Is there a motion in a second?	02:37:19
	I'll make a motion to have staff.	02:37:24
	City manager pursue a joint meeting.	02:37:27
	Is there a second?	02:37:30
	2nd.	02:37:32
	All right, any further discussion?	02:37:34
	Madam Clerk, please take a roll call, please.	02:37:36
	OK, Council member Comma, Yes.	02:37:38
	Councilmember Hernandez.	02:37:41
	Councilmember Perez Yes, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez.	02:37:43
	Mayor McQueen Lejeune, Yes. Motion passes with Councilmember Hernandez and Mayor Pro Tem Lopez voting no.	02:37:47
	Great. So that is number 18.	02:37:55
	We'll move to City manager comments and reports.	02:38:00
	OK.	02:38:03
	We have a couple of items we wanted to.	02:38:09
	Highlight quickly.	02:38:12
	We celebrated our first movie in the park for the year last week on Friday the 13th.	02:38:14
	With Moana to at Wyoming Beach Park.	02:38:22
	We had a good turn out.	02:38:24
	At the beach.	02:38:27
	And we wanted to.	02:38:28
	Remind people that the next one is actually just around the corner. July 5th will be showing Top Gun at Wayne B Beach Park at	02:38:30
	8:15.	02:38:33
	And just a reminder that it's free admission and free parking and free popcorn. So hoping to see people there.	02:38:37
	We also wanted to just highlight that a couple weeks back we are.	02:38:46
	Fort Wayne Police Department led the Special Olympic torch run.	02:38:52
	It's kind of a.	02:38:56
	A cool experience. This year we went a different route than what we had done previously to go through all of.	02:38:58
	Are more of our.	02:39:05
	Residential neighborhoods and residential streets and through several schools. So that was.	02:39:07
	A highlight this year.	02:39:12
	So we wanted to.	02:39:14
	Thank everybody who participated and also a thanks to.	02:39:16
	The Oxnard PD traffic team, who also helped court, helped provide some traffic control.	02:39:20
	As we went through.	02:39:27
	The various streets and our port, we need Police Department as well.	02:39:29
	And then we are, as we announced, Wine Amy Beach Fest earlier today, we wanted to remind everybody that we are getting ready for	02:39:35
	summer at Waeneme Beach.	02:39:40
	With beach fests coming up.	02:39:45
	Less than a month away now.	02:39:48
	And then the.	02:39:49
	We also announced today that.	02:39:51
	Annual parking permits are now available.	02:39:53
	For Winning Me Beach for next year so people can come get their parking permits ahead of 4th of July weekend.	02:39:56
	Coming up.	02:40:03
	And then this event is going to occur on June 25th. It's a different one for us, so we're trying to get the word out.	02:40:05
	It's a what we're calling our Short Term Rental Community forum.	02:40:13
	If you recall, the Council approved that we do a community survey.	02:40:17
	And that we get those results and then we have a workshop after that. So we're gonna.	02:40:21
	Do that on Wednesday, June 25th at 5:30 PM.	02:40:25
	And so.	02:40:30
	We are hoping we're going to go through the survey results.	02:40:32
	And uh.	02:40:35
	Try to get additional feedback from community members and we're hoping for more input that will help us shape.	02:40:36
	The recommendations that will come back to the City Council.	02:40:42
	I think right now timing wise, we're thinking that that will come back to meetings.	02:40:45
	From now in August.	02:40:50
	And for our next meeting, which is July 21st, because we have a short.	02:40:54
	Summer break between now and that meeting.	02:40:59
	For July 21st, right now, what we have planned is we are planning to have a Housing Authority meeting.	02:41:02
	We have several presentations, the Winnemi Hero Award proclamation.	02:41:08
	The Parks and Rec Month proclamation and Mothers Against Direct Driving.	02:41:13
	Award.	02:41:18
	Presentation. Umm.	02:41:19
	We do expect to have a retirement appreciation for retiring employee at that meeting as well.	02:41:20
	And for public hearings, we have the continued Emerald Perspective hearing.	02:41:26
	That we continued to that date.	02:41:33
	And then right now for business items, we have our annual comprehensive financial report.	02:41:35
	Our definition of willed vehicles update.	02:41:41
	From that discussion earlier this year.	02:41:45
	The smoking prohibition and multi unit housing that was approved late last year, we have that ordinance.	02:41:47
	Ready for that meeting?	02:41:55
	And the nitrous oxide regulation ordinance, so.	02:41:56
	We'll be bringing those items on July 21st.	02:42:00
	And that is all I have. Thank you.	02:42:04
	Great. Thank you.	02:42:06
	We'll move to Councilmember reports and comments. Councilmember Perez.	02:42:07
	I just have one I attended the groundbreaking of the boys and Girls Club. New construction about to start on the port or any me.	02:42:14
	Are the premier.	02:42:21
	Credit Union. Premier America.	02:42:24
	Port Rainy, ME Club groundbreaking.	02:42:27
	So that was exciting and can't wait to see what that club looks like.	02:42:29
	All right, Councilmember Gama.	02:42:33
	Yes, this weekend at Winemi Beach Cleanup, I had the privilege to meet an American Avocet.	02:42:35
	And it's a bird that I've never seen on Winey Beach before.	02:42:44
	And.	02:42:47
	We we discovered a nest as well with three eggs in it.	02:42:49
	And so I communicated to the Autobahn Society and.	02:42:53
	It's it's just really neat. It's a beautiful bird. I don't know if you could see it.	02:42:58
	Yeah. And it had had these peculiar behaviors that it was doing.	02:43:05
	With its wings, I thought it was doing a dance, but.	02:43:10
	Cynthia Hartley told me that.	02:43:14
	It's cutting the glare with its wings of this, picking bugs out of the water.	02:43:16
	But anyways.	02:43:21
	We are so.	02:43:23
	Proud of the work that we've done over the last 8 1/2 years.	02:43:25
	Miami Beach is it's amazingly clean and I think we hear that from a lot of different people and.	02:43:30
	When we're out there.	02:43:36
	Walking and talking and not filling up our buckets. It's because we've been walking and talking along time and it's really paying	02:43:38
	off in the.	02:43:42
	Our coastal environment is beautiful.	02:43:47
	And.	02:43:51
	Spend more time at the beach and I think.	02:43:52
	I think making popcorn at the beach for movies is a really good idea.	02:43:55
	And we should keep doing that.	02:43:59
	With regards to the.	02:44:01
	Polluters pay.	02:44:03
	I guess.	02:44:08
	I could bring this up later, but.	02:44:09
	I'll be making a request for an agenda item.	02:44:12
	But what I think we need, we need to be.	02:44:14
	Educated on.	02:44:18
	The whole.	02:44:20
	Gamut.	02:44:22
	I from our speakers here, I hear.	02:44:24
	You know the oil and gas companies, but.	02:44:28
	If we got to drill down and understand, you know.	02:44:32
	How is it going to benefit?	02:44:36
	What? I think we have one gas station in wine.	02:44:38
	The truth Maybe 2.	02:44:41
	But anyways.	02:44:44
	So how are we going to understand?	02:44:45
	The resolution how do we work with our partners to.	02:44:50
	To benefit from it and so forth so.	02:44:53
	And and the reason why I bring it up and.	02:44:57
	I don't want at the risk of sounding negative, I'm going to go negative, but.	02:44:59
	You know when we do the dredge.	02:45:03
	It's a great thing.	02:45:06
	However.	02:45:07
	The amount of emissions from the dredge, from what I'm told, is one of the biggest.	02:45:08
	Polluting events.	02:45:13
	In our area.	02:45:15
	And so.	02:45:16
	Is this?	02:45:17
	Polluters pay. I mean, how's that?	02:45:20
	How's that gonna? Is it gonna hamper our dredging project?	02:45:22
	So anyways, I think we just need more information. So I hope that that will be forthcoming before we.	02:45:26
	We get to the point of making a resolution.	02:45:31
	And I just want to say in regards to Juneteenth.	02:45:34
	My parents moved to Paso Robles really long time ago.	02:45:39
	And my first ventures up there.	02:45:42
	We used to go to a Baptist Church.	02:45:45
	And it was.	02:45:48
	We met a lady by the name of Juanita Booker.	02:45:49
	And Juanita Booker sang the national anthem.	02:45:52
	For Ronald Reagan's first.	02:45:55
	Inauguration.	02:45:58
	And, umm.	02:45:59
	This lady.	02:46:02
	Just was so.	02:46:04
	Beautiful in.	02:46:08
	Being a woman of color in an area that isn't known for women of color.	02:46:10
	And I just feel like we've.	02:46:15
	As a country, we've come a long way.	02:46:19
	And I'm really proud to be a member of this country and a member of what?	02:46:21
	Juneteenth has become. I mean, I think it's awesome.	02:46:26
	I think about Juanita Booker all the time because she had such a beautiful voice in that.	02:46:29
	I couldn't help but think about her today.	02:46:34
	Thank you.	02:46:37
	I have no.	02:46:42
	Reports I'm attending all my meetings.	02:46:44
	Got meeting scheduled tomorrow. Legislative.	02:46:47
	Committee meeting with SKAG tomorrow. SO.	02:46:51
	That's always interesting, especially in this.	02:46:54
	Time.	02:46:56
	Things are changing quite a bit.	02:46:58
	But I will have some items for the agenda request.	02:47:01
	Future agenda items.	02:47:06
	Thank you account.	02:47:07
	Yes, so I did.	02:47:10
	Last week I did take a phone call with CPA.	02:47:12
	I am an alternate so I got to.	02:47:16
	I haven't got it to any meetings, just.	02:47:18
	I don't, Laura, you've been on them. So.	02:47:20
	I had personal questions regarding sold to the solar program.	02:47:22
	And for those who don't know, CPA is taking over October 31st.	02:47:27
	I think so.	02:47:32
	So again, it's when that transition happens.	02:47:34
	You know, I, I just, I started doing my homework and, and.	02:47:39
	Trying to make sure that if the public comes and I have, you know, I have the answers.	02:47:42
	There there is net metering for the solar roof.	02:47:48
	People who have solar panels.	02:47:51
	Net metering 3.0.	02:47:53
	Very restrictive.	02:47:56
	Where? But it's not. It's not.	02:47:57
	It's not CPA, it's SCE.	02:48:00
	Anyways, so when when you're actually.	02:48:06
	Creating energy.	02:48:09
	During the day.	02:48:11
	You're selling it at a reduced price rather than getting at the same price.	02:48:14
	When you buy when the sun goes down.	02:48:18
	And so it's it's they're incentivizing what?	02:48:21
	The rule is they want you to buy a battery.	02:48:25
	That's that's that's what they're going. That's what they're trying to do.	02:48:28
	Umm, so I was just getting all the research.	02:48:33
	Getting all the information I'm going to pass it to.	02:48:35
	I think I did pass it to you, James.	02:48:38
	All that information so that we're smarter with the CPA program. It's just not CPA. It's it's.	02:48:41
	It's the utilities.	02:48:48
	Companies that are that are doing passing these rules.	02:48:50
	And I did with Misty and Merritt.	02:48:54
	Attend the Boys and Girls Club.	02:48:58
	Groundbreaking Premier America $6 million.	02:48:59
	Project and they're going to get it done in six months.	02:49:03
	Mind blowing.	02:49:06
	How fast they're going to do that so.	02:49:07
	Looking forward to that.	02:49:10
	And that's all.	02:49:11
	Great. Thank you. Thank you.	02:49:14
	A couple of things. So yes, I did go to the Boys and Girls Club ceremonial groundbreaking. It was really a wall breaking. It was	02:49:16
	really nice.	02:49:19
	Yeah, so.	02:49:23
	I don't know if the council members have seen the hard hat and the sledgehammer.	02:49:26
	In our office.	02:49:30
	Yeah. So we were able to.	02:49:31
	Breakthrough this wall. It was really neat. So they let everybody have their hats.	02:49:33
	So it's in the office.	02:49:38
	So did that was very nice. Yes, on the spot.	02:49:39
	Premier America's Foundation.	02:49:43
	Donated $1,000,000. That was wonderful.	02:49:46
	To see that.	02:49:50
	The other thing is, so I've been participating in my meetings. I did attend the coffee with the city, which went really well.	02:49:52
	And I think our public comments said an hour, but we were really there two hours. It was really nice. There was a lot of people	02:50:00
	out.	02:50:03
	It was really nice.	02:50:07
	Did want to just remind you all that I'm going on the SCE High Sierra workshop.	02:50:09
	I'm leaving on Wednesday, I'll be back on Friday. It's at Big Creek.	02:50:16
	And it's to.	02:50:20
	The hydroelectric.	02:50:23
	Electric project.	02:50:24
	In San Joaquin River.	02:50:26
	So I'm looking forward to that. I found out today that.	02:50:28
	The executive director.	02:50:32
	Of VCC, which I'm the vice chair is also going so he kind of connected with me to dance at see you soon so.	02:50:34
	Anyway going to do that?	02:50:41
	I was at the last meeting I was at at the.	02:50:44
	Or I ran into, I can't remember his name, the director of the EDC.	02:50:46
	You mentioned your name.	02:50:52
	Bruce Stinsley, is it? Bruce Stinsley? Yeah, yeah, I met him for the first.	02:50:54
	And so we were talking and he was kind of talking about that we have a seat on the EDC that's not filled right now.	02:50:58
	And I think it's on Thursdays. I don't know what Thursdays.	02:51:04
	I'm gonna look at my schedule and see if that's something maybe I could participate in.	02:51:07
	Because it seems like it's pretty valuable.	02:51:11
	So we'll see. So I'm looking into that.	02:51:14
	And then the last thing is, yeah, I will be at Juneteenth. Matter of fact, I'll be I.	02:51:16
	Vendoring.	02:51:22
	Booth and selling my dream.	02:51:23
	And So what generally happens is they they, they announced the elected officials. So last year I was able to represent the city.	02:51:26
	I'm sure that will happen again.	02:51:31
	This year, so just want to let you all know that.	02:51:36
	And so other than that, just attending my meetings.	02:51:39
	Yeah, and getting ready, I just got an invite and it's.	02:51:44
	A couple of months away but I just got to invite to go to the annual.	02:51:47
	As the transportation conference that I went to last year.	02:51:51
	It's in November.	02:51:55
	And GCTD picks up the car.	02:51:56
	So there's no cost involved.	02:51:58
	That or.	02:52:00
	The thing that I'm doing in a couple days.	02:52:01
	All right. And so that's all that I have.	02:52:04
	Any oh by the way.	02:52:07
	No, OK, OK.	02:52:08
	So let's move on to the request for future.	02:52:09
	Agenda items.	02:52:12
	Council member Press.	02:52:14
	Going to do the agenda.	02:52:16
	Super fun.	02:52:19
	Councilmember Gama.	02:52:25
	Can we have a detailed presentation on the polluters pay and then I guess we could also.	02:52:29
	Consider a resolution at that time.	02:52:35
	But I just want to.	02:52:39
	Avoid just doing a resolution but have a full on presentation. So if we could get that on the agenda that would be great.	02:52:40
	I'll second.	02:52:49
	All in favor.	02:52:52
	Aye, all opposed.	02:52:53
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:52:55
	Yes, I have a couple of requests. 1 is.	02:53:02
	I would like to request a certificate of appreciation or a proclamation for Pastor Ken.	02:53:05
	Umm, Walters.	02:53:11
	I believe.	02:53:14
	Yeah, he's with the Church of Port Hueneme on 5th St. and he's a.	02:53:15
	Hosts the Friday Food Chair distribution and he's been doing it for a few years. They were coming up on his.	02:53:20
	Anniversary so I'd like to get.	02:53:28
	I don't know what would be better, a proclamation or a.	02:53:31
	Certificate signed by the Council. The full council.	02:53:34
	I can get more details to Georgiana.	02:53:38
	Yeah, if you send us the details, I think off the top of my head, usually proclamations for like proclaiming it.	02:53:41
	Like his day or something like that. So it sounds like maybe a certificate?	02:53:48
	That would be nice, I'll second that.	02:53:53
	Madam Clark.	02:53:57
	All in favor.	02:53:58
	Aye, all opposed.	02:53:59
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:54:00
	Very much. And then?	02:54:03
	I would like to have an agenda item.	02:54:05
	To discuss our.	02:54:08
	Our economic development strategy.	02:54:10
	And plans for?	02:54:12
	A town hall or a meeting to include other stakeholders.	02:54:17
	Umm. My thoughts are it would be nice if we could just do something.	02:54:22
	During umm.	02:54:27
	Council.	02:54:28
	Maybe do a SWOT analysis with our council and invite the audience to participate in it. But I just like to see us.	02:54:30
	Move in that area so if we could have an item to discuss.	02:54:38
	Community.	02:54:42
	The economic development plans.	02:54:45
	All right. Is there a motion?	02:54:49
	What? What's the motion?	02:54:51
	The motion is to agendaize a discussion on.	02:54:55
	Preparing an economic development.	02:54:59
	Stakeholders Meeting.	02:55:03
	I second.	02:55:04
	Madam, all in favor.	02:55:06
	Aye, all opposed.	02:55:08
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:55:10
	I'd like to have an agenda item.	02:55:15
	And I'm just not clear if this is a staff.	02:55:18
	Or this is.	02:55:22
	We need direction on what we need to move.	02:55:26
	With the port for our DC trip.	02:55:30
	I want to.	02:55:34
	If the Council.	02:55:35
	Want staff to do this or?	02:55:39
	Do we want to direct the staff?	02:55:41
	OK, so my my motion is.	02:55:44
	Future agenda item to discuss.	02:55:48
	Our DC lobbying trip.	02:55:51
	I'll second that.	02:55:53
	There's other things too.	02:56:02
	Well, this is strictly the DC trip is like.	02:56:04
	Can you elaborate?	02:56:09
	Well, don't we have about?	02:56:11
	We haven't even seen the agenda.	02:56:20
	Yeah, strictly CBF, right. Well, we don't have another council meeting before then.	02:56:22
	No, no, I know. But that's what's on the, that's what's.	02:56:28
	We haven't even.	02:56:31
	Discuss our results of the CBS. So I think we're talking a little less.	02:56:33
	Let's get back to what? Yeah, so my.	02:56:37
	OK, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So my motion, my my motion was to have an agenda for.	02:56:40
	Our DC trip items, what we want to lobby for.	02:56:47
	I already second it.	02:56:53
	OK, Madam Clerk.	02:56:54
	All in favor.	02:56:56
	Aye, all opposed.	02:56:57
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:56:59
	I have one more item.	02:57:01
	So I would like to have an agenda item for.	02:57:04
	Requesting a scholarship to Winemi High School in J ROTC.	02:57:07
	That when they.	02:57:12
	Have their end of year.	02:57:14
	Award ceremony.	02:57:16
	That we provide a $1000.	02:57:17
	Or $500 five dollars scholarship to.	02:57:20
	An individual who portrays the most community service in the.	02:57:24
	Winimi Community.	02:57:28
	Question.	02:57:31
	Do we have CBF funds already allocated?	02:57:34
	For scholarship money that we put on hold.	02:57:38
	To hold over to other years.	02:57:41
	Yeah, I think there's.	02:57:43
	$4000.	02:57:45
	Available and we.	02:57:48
	We took applications.	02:57:50
	But we haven't awarded any at this point, so that would come to council.	02:57:52
	So is that up for new potential?	02:57:56
	Scholarship East Or do they have to go to those four who already applied? No.	02:58:01
	Purely within the, well I was gonna say within councils choice, but it's a CBF so it would be council on the ports choice. Got it.	02:58:06
	OK, yeah, this would be for 2020.	02:58:10
	6.	02:58:15
	OK, so I'll second.	02:58:18
	Madam Clerk.	02:58:21
	All in favor.	02:58:22
	Aye, all opposed.	02:58:24
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:58:26
	OK if there are no other items.	02:58:32
	Future agenda items.	02:58:35
	Going to adjourn this meeting. Our next meeting is scheduled for.	02:58:37
	Monday, July 21st.	02:58:40
	At 6:30, the time is now 926.	02:58:42

	And good evening, everyone. We are going to now call tonight's meeting to order.	00:02:11
	It is now 630.	00:02:17
	Welcome to our meeting.	00:02:20
	Madam Clerk, can you take role?	00:02:22
	I'm sorry, let's stand for flag salute.	00:02:24
	Right.	00:02:31
	Ready. Begin.	00:02:32
	Of the United States of America.	00:02:36
	And to the Republic.	00:02:38
	One nation under God.	00:02:41
	Thank you.	00:02:49
	Madam Clerk, roll call, please, Councilmember Gama.	00:02:50
	Here, Councilmember Hernandez.	00:02:54
	Councilmember Perez here, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez here and Mayor McQueen La Shawn here.	00:02:57
	I will now move to the inspiration given by Mayor Pro Tem.	00:03:03
	Lopez.	00:03:07
	Thank you.	00:03:08
	Welcome.	00:03:10
	This was a.	00:03:14
	Gave us a lot of thought over the weekend.	00:03:15
	And uh.	00:03:18
	You know, poor Wayne, Amy, where we're dealing with.	00:03:21
	A lot of uncertainty and.	00:03:22
	A lot of tension.	00:03:25
	A lot of anxiety within our community and.	00:03:27
	You know, you can kind of fill it just.	00:03:30
	Walking around.	00:03:32
	And so to me, I thought it was important to to talk to it.	00:03:33
	So to the people of Port Hueneme.	00:03:38
	In these uncertain times, with fear, echoes in our neighborhoods and the shadows of mass deportation grow stronger.	00:03:41
	I want to speak directly to it.	00:03:48
	To our families, our workers, our students.	00:03:49
	Our elders to every neighbor who calls.	00:03:52
	Port Hueneme home.	00:03:55
	Our story, like others in this nation, is built upon those who came to seek a better life for the original Chumash Indians who	00:03:58
	cared for this land.	00:04:02
	To Thomas Bard, who saw opportunity in a coastal town.	00:04:07
	Port Winemi has always been a place where hope takes.	00:04:11
	Route We are dock workers, teachers, scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers.	00:04:14
	Farm laborers. Students chasing dreams.	00:04:21
	We are mothers, fathers, daughters, sons.	00:04:24
	We may come from different places.	00:04:27
	But here we are united by the promise of opportunity and the pursuit of dignity.	00:04:29
	This nation, at its very heart, is a nation of immigrants.	00:04:35
	Each generation brought you with.	00:04:39
	With not just its labor, but its love.	00:04:42
	Not just in streams, but its determination.	00:04:45
	This legacy lives not just in history books, but in the pulse of our city.	00:04:48
	In the laughter at our beaches.	00:04:53
	The fun at our.	00:04:55
	The voices at the port in the spirit of our local businesses and the community we are shaping.	00:04:58
	To everyone here at port, my name is feeling afraid.	00:05:04
	Or uncertain.	00:05:07
	You belong.	00:05:08
	Your story, your presence.	00:05:10
	Your contributions is not only valued, it's vital.	00:05:12
	Now is the time for us to come together.	00:05:15
	In the face of fear, let us choose courage.	00:05:18
	In the face of division.	00:05:21
	Let us choose unity.	00:05:23
	And in the face of injustice, let us speak.	00:05:26
	Up not just for each other.	00:05:29
	But for the values that define us human dignity, compassion, justice.	00:05:31
	These are not just words, they are commitments.	00:05:37
	And now, more than ever, they must guide us. Let us move forward.	00:05:40
	Apart, let us lead not with anger, but with love.	00:05:44
	And let Port Hueneme stand as the light in the darkness, a city that chooses humanity over hate.	00:05:47
	And hope over fear.	00:05:54
	And let us live up to our motto.	00:05:55
	The friendly city by the sea.	00:05:57
	Thank you.	00:05:59
	Great. Thank you.	00:06:01
	Thank you, Mayor Pro Temp.	00:06:02
	Now we're going to move on to public comments. These are public comments.	00:06:04
	Not pertaining to an agenda item. Public comments are limited to 3 minutes.	00:06:10
	Madam Clerk, we have public comments.	00:06:15
	Yes, we have a few public comments. First will be Joan Tharp, followed by Greg Ross.	00:06:17
	Thank you, Mayor Pro Tem for those words.	00:06:30
	City Council, mayor, mayor, Pro Tem and staff and public.	00:06:33
	I'm here representing Ventura Surfrider and I just wanted to let everybody know you should have gotten your invitations today.	00:06:38
	That we are doing our kickoff for a restoration program out at the Wannemie Beach Park in 2 1/2 acres of dunes on June 28th.	00:06:45
	I hope that you can all make it, spread the word. Everybody's invited public, all the staff.	00:06:53
	Like love to have as many people out there as possible.	00:06:59
	We're going to do that from 9:00 to 11:00. We'll meet up around the memorial area, parking lot B.	00:07:02
	And we're going to do a brief welcome, have some coffee and pastries, do an explanation of what we're planning to do with the	00:07:10
	restoration and why it's important.	00:07:15
	We'll do a little tour if anybody wants to wander around in the sand, so where your appropriate shoes?	00:07:20
	And then for anybody that wants to get their hands dirty, we're going to do about an hour of pulling invasive species.	00:07:26
	I also just want to thank the city, the city staff particularly. I just wanted to do a shout out to public works.	00:07:33
	Everybody has been so helpful in supporting Surfrider in all of our programs and campaigns.	00:07:40
	From the hold on to your program to Blue water Task Force our cleanups.	00:07:46
	We're going to be putting up some more ash cans in the new Bubbling Springs park.	00:07:51
	Did a walk through the other day and we're gonna put those up in the next month or so.	00:07:58
	And also in May we did a cleanup of.	00:08:03
	70 people showed up was amazing.	00:08:07
	Pulled about 270 lbs of trash out of Bubbling Springs park and this is a brand new park so it was a little.	00:08:09
	Daunting that we've got so much trash out of there, but I did have my my volunteers complaining there wasn't enough trash. They're	00:08:15
	used to pulling thousands of pounds off.	00:08:19
	The beach, so you know.	00:08:24
	Go figure.	00:08:26
	But anyway, I just wanted to again announce the kickoff.	00:08:27
	And then we're going to be doing.	00:08:32
	Restoration project on the 1st Saturday of every month, starting with the dirtiest beach day of the year which is July 5th.	00:08:35
	We're going to combine that with the cleanup at Wanimi Beach and I'm sure that there will be other people out there doing cleanup	00:08:43
	too.	00:08:46
	So if you can come out whenever you can, we'd love that. And again, thank you so much, City of Portland, this is a great place to	00:08:49
	live and work and volunteer. Thank you.	00:08:54
	Thank you.	00:08:59
	Good evening, Mayor.	00:09:10
	Mayor Pro Tem.	00:09:13
	You're in. It was a great speech.	00:09:15
	Now I know why you got elected.	00:09:18
	And council members.	00:09:21
	Thank you for listening. I've lived in Ventura County since 1970.	00:09:23
	Port Wayne, ME since the early 2000s.	00:09:27
	And again.	00:09:31
	We love this city.	00:09:33
	I attended the.	00:09:35
	Coffee with the city.	00:09:37
	And was amazed to see.	00:09:39
	James Vega and Jess Lopez.	00:09:42
	Mayor Jean.	00:09:45
	Mr. Gama, thank you for coming and thank you for listening.	00:09:47
	There aren't too many cities that do that, and especially when I.	00:09:51
	Say, hey, what about this and?	00:09:55
	I get an e-mail this morning from Mr. Vega and it's like.	00:09:58
	Wow, somebody got back to me. This is great.	00:10:01
	This wouldn't happen anywhere else.	00:10:04
	So again, my hat's off to you.	00:10:06
	I said in front of you.	00:10:09
	I hope you have this.	00:10:11
	A little sheet.	00:10:12
	About the port.	00:10:14
	This is my.	00:10:15
	My through my mantra, if you will.	00:10:16
	The the port I'll remind you is the closest cargo port.	00:10:20
	On the West Coast to residential areas, especially high density residential area.	00:10:25
	So what we what we have to put up with as a city or neighbors?	00:10:30
	Our noise pollution trucks.	00:10:34
	ETC. And I want to remind you that we're on the other side of the westerly winds from.	00:10:38
	Carpentry at the Malibu.	00:10:45
	So the winds are blowing the noise.	00:10:47
	The pollution etc towards us.	00:10:49
	So my my 4 points here are pretty easy.	00:10:52
	You can read them yourself. I won't. I won't go into it to any two major detail, but the the truckers.	00:10:56
	We've I've asked the Harbor Commission.	00:11:03
	District.	00:11:06
	To post a sign for the truckers to layoff their horns as much as they can.	00:11:07
	And that sign didn't get put up.	00:11:12
	So the the commissioners, they they nod and sometimes they get off their phone to look at me.	00:11:14
	But.	00:11:20
	They don't react.	00:11:21
	So that's not right. That's not being a good neighbor.	00:11:23
	The ships are leaving the port and they're violating.	00:11:26
	Our city ordinance about noise.	00:11:29
	So this morning, even this morning, very morning, 5:55 AM.	00:11:31
	Ships leaving the harbor.	00:11:36
	Boom, big loud Longhorn from the ship.	00:11:38
	Can't that ship leave at 7:00? Let's the city ordinance for noise.	00:11:42
	Nope, I guess not.	00:11:48
	Anyway you can read this? Please, please do. We've got.	00:11:49
	Pollution coming our way, smells, fuel, fuel leaks, etcetera.	00:11:55
	And they're not responding.	00:12:00
	They just don't respond.	00:12:01
	So I thank you for listening.	00:12:03
	Austin Yang and then followed by Brooke felt the Sir.	00:12:07
	Good evening, Mayor McKinnon is on.	00:12:17
	Pratim.	00:12:20
	Member of the Council.	00:12:21
	Mr. Vega and silly step and.	00:12:23
	Citizens over this beautiful city.	00:12:25
	My name is Austin Young. I'm Chief Financial Officer at the Port of Anemi.	00:12:27
	I brought my statement here so.	00:12:32
	I hate.	00:12:35
	What age does to your eyes right so.	00:12:36
	The port and the city has shared long standing and productive working relationship.	00:12:39
	And the Port City Standing Committee has played a vital role in fostering that collaboration.	00:12:45
	The Port City Standing Committee was established way before 2015.	00:12:51
	We have a meeting minutes from as early as 2009.	00:12:56
	In 2015, as a part of settlement between the port and the city.	00:13:00
	Both parties mutually agreed to use the Port City Standing Committee as a venue.	00:13:04
	For discussion related to the.	00:13:10
	Late to community benefit fund.	00:13:13
	This the CBF is one example of many.	00:13:16
	Important topic that can be addressed through this joint committee.	00:13:19
	Any issue related to the port and the city can be initially brought to the Port City Standing Committee for doppel discussion.	00:13:23
	From there.	00:13:32
	Committee members may bring those you know issues back to their respected governing bodies for further consideration and action.	00:13:33
	We believe the Port City Standing Committee remains A valuable platform.	00:13:41
	Where the sea and the port can bring forward.	00:13:46
	Creative, innovative and collaborative ideas that benefit.	00:13:48
	Not only our respective agencies.	00:13:53
	But also the, you know, broader community we serve.	00:13:55
	Thank you again for opportunity tonight to speak and we look forward to continued.	00:13:59
	You know partnership. Thank you.	00:14:04
	Thank you. Past question, was that related to item?	00:14:07
	18.	00:14:12
	I don't know.	00:14:14
	I was thinking that as well but that's OK. He's already given the comment.	00:14:15
	Yeah, but so we could discuss the comment later, but not now.	00:14:19
	Yes, let's do that later.	00:14:23
	Yeah. I would suggest it's close enough to that item that we should discuss it at that time. Yeah.	00:14:24
	Thank you.	00:14:29
	Benny, you'll be after Brooke.	00:14:31
	OK, good evening, Fort Wayne, ME City Council. My name is Brooke, and I'm the community organizing manager at a local nonprofit	00:14:33
	called Climate First, Replacing Oil and Gas or Sea Frog.	00:14:39
	I am also a neighboring resident living in South Oxnard, and I'm here today to ask you to take action to protect Port Wine EMI and	00:14:44
	its residents from the affordability and climate crises that we're seeing unfold today.	00:14:50
	I am respectfully asking you to direct city staff to draft a resolution in support of the California Polluter Pays Climate	00:14:56
	Superfund Act.	00:14:59
	Or AB1243 and SP684.	00:15:03
	This is a critical piece of legislation that would hold polluters accountable to the damages they have caused while all.	00:15:06
	Also protecting taxpayers and our state and local budgets from shouldering the billion dollar cleanup costs for climate related	00:15:12
	disasters.	00:15:15
	Californians in Port Hueneme residents are facing an affordability crisis.	00:15:19
	From increased insurance costs to higher costs of living to the costs on our health and safety, Californians have paid enough.	00:15:24
	At the same time, we're seeing federal funding cuts to FEMA and the stripping of environmental protections.	00:15:30
	And beyond this, Californians are facing a $12 billion budget deficit, resulting in funding cuts to essential programs and	00:15:36
	services that Port Winnie, Me residents likely rely on.	00:15:41
	With climate related disasters projected to increase in frequency and severity, we desperately need another source of state	00:15:46
	funding that does not rely on taxpayers.	00:15:51
	Which is why the polluter Pays Climate Superfund Act is so important.	00:15:55
	This bill is modeled on other successful Superfund acts such as CIRCLE and the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Act.	00:15:59
	And it would direct Cali, Pennsylvania, to identify the fossil fuel companies that have admitted the largest levels of pollution	00:16:06
	in our state from 1990 to 2024.	00:16:10
	The companies would then be assigned a fee proportional to those emissions, which would be less than 1% of their trillion dollar	00:16:14
	profits and can be paid over a 20 year period. So it's not a big financial hardship.	00:16:20
	The fees collected would go into a Superfund and that funding would go directly towards efforts such as climate mitigation and	00:16:25
	adaptation.	00:16:29
	Grid resiliency and infrastructure, green jobs, resilient schools, and so much more.	00:16:33
	At least 40% of the funding will go to disadvantaged communities and those hit hardest by climate disasters and pollution.	00:16:38
	As a coastal community in the fastest warming county in the lower United States and overly burdened by industry pollution.	00:16:44
	Poor Juan Amy would more than likely benefit from the passage of this bill.	00:16:51
	We'd see much needed funding being brought to our communities to address issues such as sea level rise, electrifying port	00:16:55
	infrastructure, grid reliability and resilience, first responder and community preparedness.	00:17:01
	Workforce development and so much more.	00:17:07
	That is why I'm asking you to direct city staff to draft a resolution in support of the California Polluter Pays Climate Superfund	00:17:09
	Act.	00:17:13
	Many other cities across the state have passed similar resolutions and I would be happy to follow up and share those with staff in	00:17:16
	case it's helpful.	00:17:20
	Please help us protect taxpayers and hold polluters accountable. It is time we put people before profit. Thank you.	00:17:24
	Thank you.	00:17:30
	Hello.	00:17:40
	Mayor Pro Tem, thank you for your words at the beginning of the meeting.	00:17:41
	I know many of us in this room agree with you wholeheartedly.	00:17:45
	I'll be issuing a statement similar to Brooke.	00:17:49
	My name is Ben Mullick and I'm I live in the condominium complex of Anacapa View right off Ventura Rd. here in Port Hueneme.	00:17:52
	I'm here today to ask the Port Wyoming City Council to draft a resolution in support of the polluters pay bill.	00:18:00
	SB684.	00:18:05
	Currently making its way through the California State Legislature.	00:18:07
	This bill would establish a climate Superfund administered by CALP EPA by placing fines on the major fossil fuel companies.	00:18:10
	Thereby holding them financially responsible for environmental damages in California.	00:18:17
	Port Wiley EMI has long been a city that has faced environmental degradation.	00:18:21
	From our fragile coastlines to our diminished air quality.	00:18:25
	Our city is also under budgetary strain due to rising insurance costs and the need for continual sand dredging around Winnemi	00:18:28
	Beach.	00:18:32
	The establishment of a Superfund through the Polluters pay bill would open up new sources of revenue for our city.	00:18:35
	And would also provide the necessary funds to protect the communities.	00:18:40
	Most in danger from our changing climate.	00:18:44
	Thank you for your time, I do appreciate it.	00:18:46
	Thank you.	00:18:49
	Came here and then we have a few written public comments.	00:18:51
	Dear Winnie me City Council members, I urge you to pass the resolution in support of the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund bill. The	00:18:55
	funds from a tax on big oil companies would help our state invest in climate change resilience.	00:19:00
	The money could also be used to help homeowners invest in ways to protect their homes.	00:19:07
	From future wildfires.	00:19:11
	It's obvious that climate change is here to stay, and we need the resources to deal with it.	00:19:13
	The Polluters pay bill will provide those resources while holding Big Oil accountable for misleading the public about climate	00:19:18
	change.	00:19:21
	Thank you for your time and consideration, Kristin Kessler.	00:19:25
	Hello, I'm with the Ventura County Climate Alliance and a resident of a neighboring coastal community, and I am writing to urge	00:19:30
	the city staff to draft a resolution in support of the California Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act AB1243-SB684.	00:19:37
	With increasing natural disasters impacting our communities and cuts to FEMA and other federal support, it is more important now	00:19:45
	than ever to fund natural disaster relief.	00:19:49
	Climate resilience and a transition to clean energy.	00:19:54
	This legislation will do just that by charging the largest fossil fuel companies less than 0 point.	00:19:57
	1% of their profits to pay for the damages they have knowingly caused through their greenhouse gas emissions.	00:20:02
	California taxpayers have paid enough and continue to do so through rising cost of living.	00:20:08
	It is time to hold polluters accountable.	00:20:13
	Port Hueneme and the rest of California deserve support to address concerns such as sea level rise, energy grid reliability, green	00:20:16
	jobs, climate resilient schools, and more. I'm once again asking the City of Port Hueneme to draft a resolution to support the	00:20:23
	passage of the Climate Superfund Act, AB1243-SB684. Sincerely, Lauren Leland.	00:20:30
	Dear Port Wyoming City Council, those of us who live in Port Hueneme, along with all Californians, must contend with two	00:20:39
	unprecedented crises.	00:20:43
	The crisis of growing climate devastation and the crisis of affordability.	00:20:48
	Each of these intertwined crisis has significantly stretched our stressed our state and local budgets, and each threatens to erode	00:20:52
	our quality of life beyond recognition.	00:20:57
	There is now a state bill going through committees that would, in a fair, legal and practical way, address both of these crises.	00:21:02
	The polluters pay.	00:21:10
	Climate Superfund Act AB1243-SB684 has enormous grassroots support as well as that of many elected state and local leaders.	00:21:12
	Supporters also include labor groups, environmental champions, business owners, doctors, nurses, among others.	00:21:21
	Hearing from you would encourage state legislators to support the bill.	00:21:27
	Will you direct staff to prepare a resolution indicating your support?	00:21:31
	Anyone who reads the bill and takes the time to understand its implications will agree that not only does it make sense.	00:21:35
	It is also the right thing to do for a moral perspective.	00:21:41
	Why? Because it shifts the burden of paying for disaster repair, recovery and prevention from those least able to pay for it.	00:21:45
	To those who have profited for years while paying nothing for the damage their products have caused.	00:21:52
	Even enjoying subsidies at the same time.	00:21:56
	This is about paying their fair share.	00:21:59
	The bill would direct Cal EPA to conduct a climate cost study and use climate attribution science to identify and assess A	00:22:01
	proportional fee from the fossil fuel companies with the most GHG emissions.	00:22:07
	From 1992.	00:22:13
	Through 2024.	00:22:15
	The fee would be paid into a Superfund.	00:22:17
	The funding will go directly to rebuilding climate mitigation and resiliency efforts, frontline communities, green workforce	00:22:19
	development, and more.	00:22:23
	Additionally, 40% of the funding will be allocated to these efforts within disadvantaged communities.	00:22:26
	Please use your influence to pass this legislation. State legislators care what you think. With your support, this bill can help	00:22:32
	us meet these two crises ahead on.	00:22:36
	Addressing impacts which we are now feeling on a daily basis in Port, Wyoming and the rest of the world.	00:22:41
	Respectfully, Kathleen Willer.	00:22:46
	Deer Port Wine Amy City Council I would like to alert the City Council of two California legislative bills called Polluters Pay	00:22:50
	Climate Superfund SB-684-AB1243 that would establish a fund to help communities most affected by the climate crisis. This fund	00:22:56
	would come from the biggest polluters who currently pay nothing for the cost of doing business, while taxpayers, families and	00:23:03
	small businesses and municipalities pay for the cost of climate damages and health harms.	00:23:09
	We have all paid enough.	00:23:16
	Your city would benefit from the Superfund and could help pay for the regular dredging required to keep the city from flooding and	00:23:17
	the difficulty getting the funds to keep the city.	00:23:22
	And his residents safe.	00:23:26
	To date, there are eighty elected officials, plus more than 200 nonprofits and more than 100,000 signatures of residents in	00:23:28
	support of the bills.	00:23:31
	Similar bills have been passed in BT and in New York.	00:23:35
	Sorry Vermont, in New York, please direct your staff to directors. Resolution in support of the polluter pays bills.	00:23:39
	Thank you, Francis Lee, concerned citizen of Ventura County.	00:23:44
	A moment of thanks. Last Wednesday, June 11th, the city sponsored a coffee with the city where various city representatives.	00:23:49
	Met at a local coffee shop and interacted with many city residents during the course of one hour.	00:23:56
	This excellent city offering has been one of great value to citizens as we are given the opportunity.	00:24:01
	Outside of a structured council meeting or an appointment to meet with and seek information.	00:24:07
	From many departments at one time.	00:24:12
	At this last meeting, the city manager, police chief, deputy city manager, public works director, mayor, some council members and	00:24:14
	various other staff engaged with public addressing questions.	00:24:19
	And also learning of our concerns.	00:24:24
	It was also a great opportunity to meet our newest council member and Mayor Pro Tem, Jess Lopez.	00:24:27
	The only thing that could have made this event but even better was if Officer Giorgio had made a cameo appearance.	00:24:32
	There were a few canine residents present that you could tell we're looking forward to meeting and welcoming a local hero.	00:24:39
	At the end, we all came away better informed and more confident that the city was truly listening to us.	00:24:45
	Our city is small and our staff wears many hats.	00:24:51
	But all share a commitment to public service and making a difference for our city.	00:24:53
	I hope this annual meeting tradition continues and for that reason I took the time to share how much it is appreciated.	00:24:57
	Thank you for taking time to take the pulse of the city kindly, Juliet.	00:25:03
	And that concludes the general public comments.	00:25:08
	Mayor, if I could just note so the because we received several comments about the polluters pay bill.	00:25:12
	The and requests to create a resolution related to that.	00:25:19
	We umm.	00:25:25
	I know the council knows this but I'll say it more for the people that commented is we are not able to discuss or.	00:25:27
	Pass that resolution tonight because it's not on the agenda.	00:25:33
	But at the end of the meeting.	00:25:37
	If it's desired, Council could request it as a future agenda item, so thank you.	00:25:39
	Great. I just want to thank everyone for your public comments. We'll now move on to the approval of the agenda.	00:25:44
	May I have a motion and a second?	00:25:50
	Move to approve.	00:25:53
	2nd.	00:25:54
	Great, Madam Clerk.	00:25:55
	All in favor, aye. All opposed.	00:25:56
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:25:59
	Thank you. Do we have any members of the Council that have a conflict of interest with any items on the agenda?	00:26:02
	If not, we'll move on.	00:26:11
	We'll move on to our first presentation, which is a.	00:26:12
	Centere ceterion.	00:26:16
	Centenarian proclamation honoring Miss Helen Brant.	00:26:18
	And that's going to be read by Councilmember Perez and while she's doing that.	00:26:23
	You all can come up to the mic whoever would like to.	00:26:27
	Stand at least Miss Brant.	00:26:30
	But whoever else wants to join her can at the podium.	00:26:32
	Proclamation Honoring and celebrating Helen June Brandt in recognition of her 100th birthday.	00:26:37
	Whereas Helen June brand.	00:26:44
	Was born on June 20th, 1925, the daughter of Portoenemy pioneers Bernard and Marie.	00:26:50

	Is everything that the mayor has just said.	00:37:37

	And, umm.	00:37:42
	Back in 1989, a group of us got together and decided that Oxnard needed to become a part of this.	00:37:43
	And we started then and we haven't missed a beat.	00:37:50

	Yeah, and I'm going to hand it off to Frank Montalongo, who is helping to.	00:40:21
	Coordinate the event and he's going to tell us a little bit about what to expect because it is somehow almost time for Beach Fest.	00:40:25
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, City Council members.	00:40:53
	I am here today on behalf of, obviously, the City of Port. We need the police explorers for this year's Winnie Me Beach Festival.	00:40:56
	So the festival this year would take place on take place on July 12th and 13.	00:41:03
	From 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, once again we'll be having free parking and free entrance for the entire community.	00:41:08
	The festival layout this year will consist of Ocean View Drive, will be used as a main entrance walkway and feature a first a 10	00:41:16
	information booth, food and general retail.	00:41:20
	Stalls Parking lot B will be used for our host.	00:41:25

	The Winimi Beach will be used on Saturday the 12th for a competitive beach soccer tournament.	00:41:42
	And on Surfside Drive it will remain open, so there'll be no impeding traffic.	00:41:46
	So flow traffic will continue just like last year with the open, the open plan for the right away.	00:41:50
	So for entertainment on Saturday, we're going to start off once again with our high school marching band competition. We're going	00:42:23
	to have Challenge High School, Winimi High School.	00:42:28
	And Oxnard High School and the Portland POA will be making a donation to each one of the organizations for coming out to our	00:42:32
	festival to perform.	00:42:36
	We're then going to continue with the Hero Lord presentation.	00:42:40
	And following after that, we'll have the Red Hot Chola Peppers, which is a.	00:42:43
	Red Hot Chili Peppers cover ban.	00:42:47
	I know the name. And then we're gonna continue with In Stone and then finish the evening, record us on them. And throughout the	00:42:50
	day, DJ Depeche will be playing DJ music as a band transition for the festival.	00:42:56
	Then on Sunday we're going to open the morning with Bruno and the Hooligans once again. We're then going to kick it off with the	00:43:02
	Kings of Queen, a Queen cover band and then finish the afternoon with Band 11 and Also and Los Arcones of a Hill will be playing	00:43:08
	in the evening and DJ Depeche Mode will be playing throughout the festival as well.	00:43:13
	Then on Saturday for the beach parking for the beach soccer tournament, they'll be on the West side of the pier for their event on	00:43:20
	Saturday, they'll have 10 soccer fields.	00:43:24
	The estimate between 150 to 200 athletes competing and competing and competitive.	00:43:29
	Soccer games and they averaged about four to 500 spectators for this event.	00:43:34
	So our hope is with the festival going on in the tournament, we'll get those individuals be able to come to our festival as we're	00:43:38
	waiting for their additional games to go on throughout the day.	00:43:42
	Then we have our youth poster contest once again, As you'll see, all the posters have been hung up.	00:43:48
	For this year, we had over 200 entries. We have not selected a winner yet because some of the committee members were out on them.	00:43:53
	We're out of the office, so we're working on that, but the winners will receive.	00:43:58
	A $350.00 prize from sponsored by Luhan Transportation.	00:44:03
	We're going to have two elementary school winners, a junior high and a high school winner. We plan on announcing the winners,	00:44:08
	presenting them with their award at the Beach festival as well on Saturday.	00:44:13
	This year.	00:44:17
	Then we have our once again our Hang Tan Carnival Fun Zone Presale Carnival tickets are on sale right now $30.00 for 10 rides and	00:44:20
	encourage the community to take advantage of the sale because it does save you.	00:44:25
	Quite a bit of money if you do the pre sell for the rides and the pre sale will end on July 11th. You either could scan the QR	00:44:31
	code or go to the website and the link is there where you could purchase your tickets.	00:44:36
	For we also this year sent out resident mailers. I'm not sure if anybody received them yet in their mail, but it should have been	00:44:42
	included in the water bill.	00:44:46
	So this is the exact Miller that went in. It has the outline with the information of the beach festival with the QR code and take	00:44:50
	you to the website.	00:44:53
	We also included the pre sale tickets and the explorers ended up sponsoring this and covering the cost because we included our	00:44:56
	join today for the portion police explorer so we could get the entire city of Winnie me residents information for the explore	00:45:01
	program. So we thought about it the different way to be able to get our information out to get.	00:45:07
	Get more recruits in.	00:45:13
	Currently we have 7 attending our Academy starting next week. They were actually prepping right now so they'll be starting their	00:45:14
	police Academy and graduating.	00:45:18
	On July 12th from their Explore Academy, hopefully.	00:45:22
	And then for our sponsors, so our goal, I just want to give recognition to our sponsors. For gold sponsors, we have Skunk Masters,	00:45:26
	Portaway, Nimi, Darvik Productions will be handling our stage and audio this year. And while in this from the port, our silver	00:45:31
	sponsors for the High Vacation Club and E Rentals.	00:45:36
	And then our bronze sponsors were Leona, renewed by Anderson Lowers College.	00:45:41
	Farm fresh to you, Ventura County coast.	00:45:45
	A new addition, the Liberty Military Housing group, so they are actually going to get the information for the festival out to a	00:45:48
	lot of our military.	00:45:51
	Families of communities in the area outside of Winnie me and the neighboring cities. So that should be a big help as well. The	00:45:55
	Clean Power Alliance and then carnies as a brother.	00:45:59
	Any questions?	00:46:05
	Any questions?	00:46:07
	Councilmember Kama.	00:46:08
	So I was really surprised to see that one.	00:46:10
	Piece of art.	00:46:12
	Were you promoting that one? Because that's kind of like the one I liked. No, I just, I just took one on random today when we were	00:46:14
	getting the PowerPoint. So again, there's a lot of great artwork. So we just, we haven't, we haven't decided about the committee.	00:46:19
	We've been getting emails and a bunch of different, everyone submitting different posters that they like.	00:46:25
	So we just got to sit down and come to a consensus of who's going to win.	00:46:30
	OK, well.	00:46:35
	Think you know her?	00:46:36
	My favorite?	00:46:37
	In other words, you have to wait until beach festival. My daughter is.	00:46:38
	Any other questions?	00:46:44
	I did have one question and follow up to his counselor McCombs question.	00:46:46
	Are you going to you're not going to show any of the art?	00:46:50
	No posters and for the festive. So we're once again we're going to saw these artworks have been digitized already in JPEG files.	00:46:52
	We're going to have them on banners once again and they will be at the festival again this year. And then we'll now we'll contact	00:46:57
	the winners be prior and then announce them at the festival as well.	00:47:03
	Great. Thank you.	00:47:08

	Hello, I would like to share this letter for the Port Wine Amy Lions Club for the Hero Award.	00:48:41
	Parkview thanks the Port Wine Me Lions Club.	00:48:46
	On behalf of the students, families, and staff of Parkview Elementary School, I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to	00:48:49
	the Port Winnie Me Lions Club for their incredible support and generosity.	00:48:54
	This valued partnership has been instrumental in bringing to life a vision that is deeply rooted in the mission and values of our	00:48:59
	school community.	00:49:03
	At Parkview Elementary, we believe our school is more than just a place of learning. It is the foundation of support, kindness,	00:49:07
	and care for every member of our community.	00:49:12
	Over the past year, our school counselor and administrative team have worked diligently to create a Resource Center that would	00:49:16
	provide tangible support for families in need.	00:49:21
	Through the Port Winding Me Lions Club, generous fundraising efforts and donation of over $2100, we are proud to announce.	00:49:25
	The opening of the Mustang Kindness Closet.	00:49:32
	This dedicated space is designed to assist students and families facing challenges by offering access to essential items such as	00:49:35
	gently used clothing.	00:49:39
	Choose personal hygiene products, blankets, food and referrals to community services.	00:49:43
	The Port Oneima Lions Clubs contribution enabled us to purchase and install storage cabinets and organizational materials.	00:49:48
	Allowing us to store and distribute resources in a clean, accessible and dignified manner.	00:49:55
	Already, the Mustang Kindness Closet has made a difference in the lives of Parkview families.	00:50:01
	The generosity of the Port Hueneme Alliance Club not only brought this vision to life, but also reinforced the values we strive to	00:50:05
	instill in our students, compassion, empathy and community responsibility.	00:50:11
	It is an honor to share that Parkview was the first school to be selected by the Port Wine ME Lions Club for fundraiser.	00:50:16
	We are truly grateful for this partnership and look forward to many more opportunities to work together in service of our students	00:50:23
	and community.	00:50:26
	Thank you again to the Port Winding Alliance Club for your generosity and commitment to making a difference.	00:50:29
	Thank you, Sarah Jimenez, Principal, Parkview Elementary School.	00:50:34
	And that concludes public comment.	00:50:38
	Great. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor, I just had a question, Is this the first year that we're.	00:50:40
	Approving 3 recipients.	00:50:46
	And.	00:50:48
	Well, we need to somehow include language for the future on.	00:50:51
	The permission to do so, to do 3 verse. I mean, what if next year they want to do four or five? I think we need to.	00:50:57
	Probably address that.	00:51:08
	Yeah. And I to answer the first question, yes, this is the first. We've had three. We did have two last year. I believe that was	00:51:09
	the first time we've ever had more than one.	00:51:14
	So, uh.	00:51:19
	That could be something that the City Council could consider is giving that direction that it be, you know, a single person	00:51:20
	chosen.	00:51:25
	That is something that can be directed for future years. As of this moment, that is. There is no rule on that in the.	00:51:30
	In the program, yeah. So maybe in the future they can do.	00:51:37
	Maybe one individual hero and then an organizational hero.	00:51:41
	Umm, I don't have any problem with three.	00:51:46
	But I just want to make sure that we're.	00:51:49
	It's written into the.	00:51:53
	Into the nomination process.	00:51:56
	Councilmember, I'm sorry and just to so to do that we would we would bring that criteria back. So that's something that we could	00:52:00
	do.	00:52:04
	Yeah, I agree with Councilmember Hernandez that.	00:52:09
	You know it says Hero awarded then last year.	00:52:13
	We had a.	00:52:16
	We had two highly qualified, highly respected individuals that we decided to honor them both.	00:52:18
	I don't think we and then to go to three this year.	00:52:24
	Is great that we have because I mean the Lions Club obviously deserving of of it.	00:52:28
	The other two recipients as well.	00:52:34
	But maybe we do need to change our wording.	00:52:37
	Maybe we could change it to?	00:52:39
	Community leaders or?	00:52:42
	Because when I.	00:52:43
	Here hero I think of a first responder fireman.	00:52:45
	Running into a burning building.	00:52:50
	So maybe we could.	00:52:51
	Address it that way and.	00:52:55
	Make an agenda request at the end of the meeting, but umm.	00:52:57
	But I think it's great if we could.	00:53:00
	If we have more than one person to honor, but I think we should.	00:53:02
	Reflect that in whatever.	00:53:05
	Policy we have because we are.	00:53:07
	Policymakers.	00:53:09
	So I'll just say I think I heard two things.	00:53:11
	I heard Councilmember Hernandez saying.	00:53:13
	Minimum not not minimized, but it's hero. So we should be thinking about it being hero. But then I heard you say change the name	00:53:16
	to leaders, which means that's.	00:53:21
	So we can.	00:53:27
	Have multiple so I think I heard two different things but.	00:53:28
	What what I would like to say is that yes, I'm I'm.	00:53:30
	I'm OK with what we have this year. One of the things I did mention to the city manager is.	00:53:34
	You know when you start giving out an award that we look at as being a prestigious award and you.	00:53:41
	Give it out a lot.	00:53:45
	Then it diminishes the real value of the award. So that's the kind of thing I'd like to just make sure we.	00:53:47
	Keep that in mind.	00:53:53
	When we start.	00:53:54
	Issuing.	00:53:56
	Did you have something? Yeah, I just the language.	00:53:59
	If there's no grading criteria within.	00:54:03
	The language or.	00:54:05
	Because I'm not opposed to, I'm not opposed to seeing three people.	00:54:08
	People are not deserving.	00:54:11
	But.	00:54:13
	You know the language needs to state that.	00:54:14
	So that's what I think we need as a council, need to hammer that out.	00:54:18
	Yeah, sounds like there's a consensus to have a future item about the program. So, well, I think we can, we've heard from a	00:54:23
	majority that we can plan to do that.	00:54:27
	We'll make a request at the end of the meeting.	00:54:34
	Do we need to? I think we can get the direction now.	00:54:36
	Yeah, so.	00:54:39
	So does anybody have anything else before we move forward with the approval?	00:54:40
	All right, can I get a motion and motion to approve item?	00:54:44
	14.	00:54:48
	2nd Madam Clerk.	00:54:49
	All in favor.	00:54:52
	All opposed.	00:54:54
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	00:54:55
	Great. We're going to move on to item number 15. That's the levy and collection of annual assessments for assessment district.	00:54:59
	87-1 Assessment District 91-1 and Assessment District 95-3 an agreement with the Ventura County Auditors Controller.	00:55:07
	For billing of direct.	00:55:16
	Assessments, Madam Clerk.	00:55:17
	Do you have proof of publication as required by law and a complete file of reports and exhibits? Yes, Madam Mayor, thank you. Will	00:55:19
	staff please present the report?	00:55:23
	Good evening, Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, council members of the audience.	00:55:28
	We're here for the second part of the.	00:55:34
	Assessment.	00:55:38
	District approvals.	00:55:39
	At our last meeting, you preliminary.	00:55:40
	Approved with resolutions, the engineers reports the use of that.	00:55:45
	Money. The amounts.	00:55:49
	Tonight is the second portion of that, which is the actual ordering of the levy and collection of those assessments.	00:55:52
	As a quick reminder.	00:55:59
	The lighting district.	00:56:01
	Has a revenue expected of $132,000.	00:56:04
	With expenses of 188,000 which leaves.	00:56:08
	Approximately $56,000 subsidy that the general fund will have to cover.	00:56:12
	That is essentially our street lighting bills, so.	00:56:18
	As you know, the rates have continued to go up.	00:56:22
	And we haven't. We don't have.	00:56:25
	We have the option to raise these, but it would have to go through a 218 process.	00:56:28
	For the Parkway and Median, the revenues.	00:56:33
	176,000 with expenses of 232,000 again a $56,000.	00:56:35
	Difference, but our fund balance.	00:56:42
	Has the money to cover that.	00:56:44
	And with use of that, it's expected at the end of this fiscal year the fund balance for that district would be $195,000.	00:56:45
	And then our drainage assessment.	00:56:54
	Has an expected revenue of 185, with the expenses of 196,000.	00:56:56
	With $11,000 being covered from our fund balance.	00:57:02
	And the expected estimated fund balance at the end of 2526 would be $629,000.	00:57:06
	And I briefly mentioned at the last meeting that we are working on some other things right now.	00:57:13
	To see if we can get.	00:57:19
	Permits and other things for maintenance.	00:57:21
	Of the channel.	00:57:25
	So there will be you.	00:57:26
	Possibly other items coming to you throughout the year.	00:57:29
	If we get those in place and because it will require.	00:57:32
	Appropriating more money so.	00:57:36
	Won't be doing that.	00:57:39
	Again, these resolutions are.	00:57:43
	Finalizing, approving, and adopting the expenses.	00:57:46
	Also.	00:57:50
	Authorizing the documents to be filed with the County Auditor, County of Ventura, which are due by July 7th.	00:57:54
	And if you have.	00:58:01
	Any questions? I'll be happy to answer those.	00:58:03
	Yeah. And the first one you said the general fund would have to.	00:58:12
	Cover it.	00:58:16
	And the second and 3rd, I believe you said the enterprise fund.	00:58:17
	No, not the enterprise fund. The fund balance is for those districts, so.	00:58:20
	Money that's been collected specifically from the assessments previously have monies leftover unspent, so we can use those to	00:58:25
	cover.	00:58:29
	Overage. OK, but on the first one.	00:58:34
	That's going to come from the general fund, correct? OK, can.	00:58:36
	Explain why.	00:58:41
	Is it by default or is?	00:58:42
	Is there a fund that has been?	00:58:45
	Depleted.	00:58:49
	Yeah, the lighting one, as I mentioned.	00:58:50
	Most of that money, all of it essentially goes to paint our utility bill for our street lighting.	00:58:55
	As you know, the rates have continued to go up.	00:59:01
	Every year.	00:59:04
	With those, so that fund has no balance left.	00:59:06
	We've previously spoken in the past years about possibly.	00:59:09
	Creating a.	00:59:14
	What would be called an overlay district where?	00:59:15
	That portion would go back out again to see if.	00:59:18
	The public were willing to.	00:59:21
	Be assessed additionally to cover that difference.	00:59:23
	The other two funds have.	00:59:27
	By the nature of what we've done.	00:59:30
	In those districts.	00:59:31
	We built up.	00:59:34
	A balance that we still have money on.	00:59:36
	Left to spend so.	00:59:38
	Again, just like with the drainage district.	00:59:41
	If we end up getting into doing.	00:59:44
	Chemical.	00:59:47
	Applications which would have to go through the state and permitting process and all that, that would require a bunch of other	00:59:48
	work and.	00:59:51
	A bunch of other expenditures which would be coming back.	00:59:55
	To ask you for permission.	00:59:58
	Then my last question is, is we?	01:00:00
	When we passed our budget, we anticipated this and built it into the budget, correct, Yes. And but I wanted to reiterate sort of	01:00:03
	the point I think you were making, which is that lighting overlay district or I'm sorry, the lighting districts.	01:00:10
	It is becoming more common that.	01:00:16
	Because.	01:00:19
	All most cities are in this position where the lighting costs have increased more than.	01:00:20
	The original.	01:00:25
	Expected amounts.	01:00:26
	That we can't just.	01:00:28
	Add to our.	01:00:30
	Districts. We have to actually create a second district that overlays the first district.	01:00:32
	So that's something that we plan to look at and sort of.	01:00:36
	Prioritize and bring back.	01:00:42
	Right. I think one of the things we're looking at right now is we are looking at all the utility rates and everything. So we are	01:00:44
	trying to put them in order of the most important to the.	01:00:48
	Are, I guess, most costly to the general fund and then to the least costly?	01:00:53
	So it's on our list to look at.	01:00:57
	And we'll bring that back to the council at some point, but yes, we expected that.	01:01:00
	From prior years, we.	01:01:05
	Planned for it, we budgeted it.	01:01:07
	That the long term solution is we need to figure out a way to not have the general fund subsidized that. So was this the first	01:01:08
	time or the second time or No, it's not the first and it's probably been for a few years I would guess.	01:01:15
	The past I'd say at least 6-7 years if not longer.	01:01:22
	That we.	01:01:26
	Had this amount.	01:01:27
	Previous years we've had much smaller amounts that had to be subsidized.	01:01:30
	1015 thousand. But as you can see, now we're talking about.	01:01:36
	$56,000 yeah, electric electricity just goes up. So it's just it's something we'll have to.	01:01:39
	To look at doing the overlay.	01:01:46
	Because we follow the prop 218 process because we have to create an overlay, it is a process that.	01:01:47
	Resident You know voters can.	01:01:54
	Protest and.	01:01:56
	All that. So we have to make sure we do a good job of explaining to everybody why it's needed and.	01:01:58
	You know, what does it mean if you don't do it? It means potentially that services could be cut. So we'd have to have that	01:02:02
	conversation and explain that.	01:02:06
	And just one more note.	01:02:10
	Previous city attorneys.	01:02:13
	Given their opinion on it and as those amounts were smaller at times.	01:02:16
	Because of the process to go through and.	01:02:20
	Do the analysis for it and do a whole prop 218.	01:02:23
	At that point it was.	01:02:26
	Determined that it would be.	01:02:28
	Not useful to go through that entire process and spend a lot of money to do it and risk still not getting it.	01:02:31
	Obviously now we we're seeing that this amount.	01:02:38
	Getting larger and larger so.	01:02:41
	It's something that we can as James.	01:02:43
	Mentioned, we can go back and take a look at.	01:02:45
	And see if it's.	01:02:48
	Effort and expense.	01:02:50
	Let's go to Mayor Pro Tem 1st and welcome back to you SO.	01:02:52
	This the street lighting specifically are.	01:02:56
	Are these just old systems? Like are these LED type lightings?	01:03:00
	Yeah, they've been changed out.	01:03:04
	But it's the.	01:03:06
	Number of lights that we have.	01:03:08
	Our bills.	01:03:10
	Run about fifteen, $16,000 a month.	01:03:12
	So does any more buildings have solar?	01:03:15
	Yes, some of our buildings do have solar.	01:03:18
	We don't have it on our street lighting.	01:03:22
	Would it be worthwhile for us to?	01:03:26
	Investigate.	01:03:28
	That just.	01:03:31
	To offset some of this, these rescues cost grant is continue go up.	01:03:32
	I have electric car at home.	01:03:38
	And I just, I'm transitioning to to solar, right?	01:03:39
	But it just seems like CPA.	01:03:44
	Is gonna work for.	01:03:47
	Gonna work for me as a resident.	01:03:48
	But for street lighting, we're still at.	01:03:50
	The mercy of us SCE Correct?	01:03:54
	Correct.	01:03:56
	I mean they're.	01:03:57
	Our systems that could be put in, they also take up a large amount of space in order to be able to store the.	01:03:58
	Electricity to make sure that the lights stay running all.	01:04:04
	Night. That would be something we'd have to do a lot more.	01:04:07
	Research into to see.	01:04:13
	Whether that would be something that would.	01:04:14
	Help offset this.	01:04:17
	OK. I was just wondering if. If.	01:04:19
	What are other cities doing offset these costs and maybe we can start just?	01:04:22
	Thinking of, you know, brainstorming this, I these ideas.	01:04:27
	Great, Councilmember Perez. Well, that was my question. What are other cities doing?	01:04:32
	Are they dealing with this same issue?	01:04:36
	Or is this just because we have an older system like what is the?	01:04:39
	Actually, I'm not sure what other cities are doing.	01:04:44
	I we can.	01:04:48
	Go back and take a look to see if any of them have switched over to electric.	01:04:49
	Or solar.	01:04:54
	But.	01:04:56
	Off the top of my head, I don't know if there's anybody that's gone to solar powered St. lighting it.	01:04:58
	Or not necessarily solar powered but are they having the same issue with this fund and having money issues and having to?	01:05:04
	And why do? Why can't we add to it? Why do we have to create another?	01:05:11
	Overlay what? What is that? It's because of the voter approval process and the voters approved.	01:05:15
	This assessment.	01:05:20
	So every year we go through the process to re levy that assessment, but we can't change it without going back to the voters.	01:05:24
	And the reason cities do the overlay is because if you if we go back to the voters and we try to just modify the existing one and	01:05:30
	they say no, then then we don't get any like the the.	01:05:35
	The district is gone.	01:05:40
	And So what the way cities have done its answer?	01:05:41
	That question of like, what's the first thing cities typically do when they find themselves in the spot? They create the overlay	01:05:44
	district and they say it's basically, you know, it's not touching the underlying one that pays for the most of it, but then it'll	01:05:50
	be like a second one on top of it that pays the difference.	01:05:55
	And that way, if it fails, you're not in any worse position than you are now, other than you spent probably $20,000 to go through	01:06:01
	the Prop 218 process.	01:06:05
	But if it passes, then you're you're caught up on your electric rates.	01:06:09
	A while at least, but I think everybody.	01:06:13
	Here knows, you know, with the way Edison rates have increased, you know, that's an ongoing battle to try to stay ahead of that	01:06:15
	but.	01:06:20
	But it's not uncommon I would say.	01:06:25
	I think most cities.	01:06:27
	That are in our age.	01:06:28
	Group especially.	01:06:30
	Of 75 year old city.	01:06:32
	And those assessment districts?	01:06:34
	30 to 40 years old.	01:06:37
	That what we originally thought electricity would cost back then, electricity is now costing more than that. That's really the	01:06:39
	problem in a in a nutshell.	01:06:43
	So, lighting assessment.	01:06:48
	District overlay is like probably step one to look into and then as part of that we can look at what other cities are doing if	01:06:50
	there's cost effective.	01:06:54
	Solutions there.	01:06:58
	Great, we're going to council.	01:07:00
	Hernandez Yeah. Also in the report here, it does say that.	01:07:03
	Pre-existing St. lighting assessments are exempt from proposition to 18.	01:07:08
	So two of our districts are exempt, right?	01:07:13
	The all of them are subject to Prop 218.	01:07:19
	OK. So we don't have pre-existing St. lighting assessments?	01:07:24
	The assessment, that is.	01:07:28
	Issued here or up for adoption now Is the one that's been in existence yes. No, we wouldn't. The existing 1 is a new one would not	01:07:31
	be yes.	01:07:36
	And I know at some point you.	01:07:44
	Considered.	01:07:46
	Moving the light district over to CPA, but you didn't do it first for.	01:07:49
	Whatever reason, what was that reason?	01:07:54
	That we didn't.	01:07:56
	Want to move it over to CPA clean power lines all the clean power alliance because the costs would have gone up, which would have	01:07:57
	made the deficit even larger. Yeah it's it's.	01:08:01
	And I'm not as.	01:08:06
	Familiar with that agreement as.	01:08:08
	Yeah, because sometimes their rates, they bring their rates down when when the costs go down South. Yeah, note, I don't want to	01:08:11
	put them on the spot, but I know Charles actually had a call with CPA and.	01:08:16
	And it's specific to streetlights. It was that's something on their end when Charles can maybe speak to a little bit better. But	01:08:22
	in their process they haven't gotten to that point yet. OK, cost would have got.	01:08:27
	It's a really good summary. The city managers.	01:08:33
	Clean power lines indicated that while they can be.	01:08:36
	And in most cases provide actually a slight discount from Edison on residential.	01:08:39
	And small customer rates, they aren't there with the streetlight rates, they're not competitive and they actually would have to	01:08:43
	charge cities slightly more than Edison currently charges for streetlights. Well, great, Thank you for checking. Well, that's, you	01:08:49
	know, that's another possibility though is if they get there and if there's the ability to opt in to CPA where it would actually	01:08:55
	be a savings and that could be another possibility. It's just not there yet. Right. One final quick question are the.	01:09:01
	The lights out to the lighthouse are those considered streetlights.	01:09:07
	Off the top of my head, I don't know. I know we have the map of all of our street lanes that Charles so so this.	01:09:12
	Out to the promenade.	01:09:19
	Yes.	01:09:21
	So basically it's just St. lights mediums.	01:09:23
	In the house in track.	01:09:27
	Typically, OK, this will be the last question. Go ahead.	01:09:30
	The Bubbling Springs Canal.	01:09:38
	You you stated that.	01:09:41
	You're waiting for an EPA.	01:09:43
	Cert to to spray that area right?	01:09:46
	We're going through the process. We actually just recently found out that we'd have to do some other documentation submittal.	01:09:49
	So we don't know. We haven't gotten to that point yet, so.	01:09:55
	There's some other things that we're going to need to do.	01:09:59
	For environmental review before they'll.	01:10:02
	Move forward with looking at processing that permit for us.	01:10:05
	But it has shown to be effective.	01:10:09
	Yes, there's there's a lot of agencies that have drainage channels that do use.	01:10:11
	Chemical application to control.	01:10:17
	Growth. OK, thanks.	01:10:19
	OK, great. So we're going to move. We're going to now open the public hearing and take public comment. Madam Clerk, are there any	01:10:21
	public comments? The time is now 738.	01:10:26
	No public comments for this item. Great. Thank you. The public input has concluded. I will now close the public hearing and the	01:10:32
	time is now 738.	01:10:36
	Umm, any other?	01:10:42
	Any other discussion?	01:10:44
	OK. So we'll move. We'll move on to. We have before us the recommendation to adopt 3 resolutions.	01:10:46
	Of the City Council in the City of Port.	01:10:52
	WINIMI, California.	01:10:54
	One for each of the following districts ordering the levy and collection of assessments for the fiscal year.	01:10:55
	Beginning one July 2025 and ending June 30th, 2026 pursuant to the Landscape and Lighting Act of 1972.	01:11:01
	Lighting maintenance assessment district.	01:11:09
	87-1 Parking and medium maintenance.	01:11:12
	Assessment District 91-1, Port Hueneme Drainage Maintenance Assessment District 95-3 and to authorize the city manager to execute	01:11:14
	the agreement.	01:11:19
	With the Ventura County Auditor Controller for the billing of direct assessments.	01:11:24
	Is there a motion so moved?	01:11:29
	2nd.	01:11:32
	Any discussion? No further discussion.	01:11:33
	Madam Clerk, please take a roll call. Vote please. Councilmember Comma Yes. Councilmember Hernandez.	01:11:35
	Councilmember Perez Yes Mayor Pro Tem Lopez and Mayor McQueen Lejeune. Yes. Motion passes unanimously.	01:11:41
	Great. Thank you, Mr. Camarillo for your presentation. Next, we're going to move to business item number 16, Cindy Watt Citywide	01:11:48
	Neighborhood Parking Analysis Report.	01:11:53
	Will staff please present the report?	01:11:58
	Good evening again.	01:12:02
	What you have before you tonight.	01:12:06
	Is a report that council approved to move forward on back in November of last year.	01:12:09
	It was to take a look.	01:12:15
	Holistically.	01:12:17
	At various things that we might be able to do to better provide parking.	01:12:18
	And.	01:12:25
	So we.	01:12:27
	Have our traffic engineer, Mr. Tom Miracle.	01:12:28
	Who has done a study for us?	01:12:31
	And uh.	01:12:34
	Part of this you all received a technical memorandum that.	01:12:35
	That Tom produced.	01:12:39
	And uh.	01:12:40
	It summarizes all of his findings.	01:12:43
	And then he is going to be presenting this.	01:12:45
	PowerPoint to go over.	01:12:49
	A shorter version of a technical memorandum.	01:12:51
	Thank you, Madam Mayor.	01:12:58
	Mayor, Pro Tem and Council.	01:12:59
	Slightly shorter.	01:13:03
	All right, so.	01:13:05
	We did.	01:13:08
	Essentially looked at 8 areas.	01:13:10
	We sat down with the city staff and kind of said where can we best use the resources that were allocated?	01:13:12
	For the project.	01:13:17
	A lot of the effort for this project was going out and collecting data, as you can imagine.	01:13:19
	Collecting data in these eight areas.	01:13:25
	Weekday. Weekend.	01:13:27
	And then trying to account for.	01:13:29
	Evenings which ended up being our peak period.	01:13:32
	And all of the street sweeping, moving things around, we had to kept coming back and back and back so that we could get it. It	01:13:35
	took.	01:13:38
	About 3 months to collect all the data.	01:13:42
	We collected the data.	01:13:46
	January through March again, weekday and weekend.	01:13:49
	Daytime and overnight.	01:13:54
	Looked at both.	01:13:55
	The public parking and private parking. So as we went through neighborhoods we looked at.	01:13:57
	The parking in people's.	01:14:02
	Front yards where they had cars parked.	01:14:05
	Where there were not cars parked because we had to collect.	01:14:08
	Both the supply and the demand.	01:14:11
	And then?	01:14:16
	We had some general observations which I'll go over a little bit and then.	01:14:18
	Summarized and evaluated the data.	01:14:23
	Presenting our recommended alternatives.	01:14:26
	The areas are Area 1.	01:14:30
	And Area 2 Victoria Marina and Pacific collection.	01:14:33
	Area B Yankee Landing Area C, Bulker Park.	01:14:38
	Area D is the Panoma Clara area.	01:14:42
	Area E was parking lot E and Area F was parking lot F and then Seaview St.	01:14:45
	Kind of our brief general observations is that area 1.	01:14:56
	Area B, Area C and many parts of Area D.	01:15:02
	Had utilization that was approaching.	01:15:06
	Or in one case exceeding 100%.	01:15:08
	So it's probably not news to the council, but it's good to know we have data.	01:15:12
	That supports what the community has been saying for several years, that.	01:15:16
	These these areas.	01:15:20
	Don't have any parking available.	01:15:21
	Some overflow of area one goes into the surrounding streets.	01:15:23
	Catch basins have curbs that are painted red.	01:15:29
	There are some where it's very appropriate to have them painted red because.	01:15:32
	Of the the drainage in the area if a vehicle is parked there.	01:15:37
	It could block the drainage to get into the inlands, but that's not the case for all of them.	01:15:41
	Areas of high utilization have.	01:15:46
	Cars that were parked at red curb.	01:15:49
	Cars that were parked on the curb returns.	01:15:52
	And then parked in yard areas off of the paved driveway, which is not allowed by the current code.	01:15:55
	Parking lot CNF are essentially empty at night and less than 50%.	01:16:02
	During the day, again these are observations that were taken.	01:16:06
	Now, not in the summer, it's it's probably a vastly different look at things for those lots, particularly during the day.	01:16:09
	In the summer.	01:16:16
	And then on Seaview St.	01:16:18
	The the on street parking is not near capacity, but the private parking in the.	01:16:20
	The neighborhood that is on that street is right at 100%. So some of them are out on the street, but there's there's still lots of	01:16:26
	capacity left on the street.	01:16:30
	This is kind of the data summarized in a couple of tables. The first one is the weekday and you can see area 1.	01:16:38
	Has the utilization of 97% for the public parking.	01:16:45
	83% for the private parking, for a total of about 90%.	01:16:49
	Area B.	01:16:54
	87%.	01:16:56
	Public parking.	01:16:58
	Utilization 83% for total utilization.	01:16:59
	Area C was 92%.	01:17:04
	Of the public parking and about 82% of the private parking and then you can see at the bottom Seaview.	01:17:07
	The private parking utilization was over 100%.	01:17:12
	Now one of the things.	01:17:15
	Is in the parking industry, what we typically look for or strive to achieve is somewhere around 85% utilization.	01:17:18
	Lots of paid parking.	01:17:26
	Across the area and.	01:17:29
	Across the nation, is sort of said at this.	01:17:30
	85% so for instance in Ventura.	01:17:32
	Their parking policies are based upon an 85% goal.	01:17:35
	Which means that when you get to where you want to go, there should be a space available.	01:17:39
	It may only be 1 space.	01:17:43
	But there should be a space available.	01:17:44
	So that's kind of what we're using as our threshold. So when you look at the red on these tables, they're way above 85 the.	01:17:49
	The yellowish color is.	01:17:56
	At or just above.	01:17:59
	The 85.	01:18:00
	And then for.	01:18:03
	For weekend.	01:18:04
	Though the weekend peak was actually during the day.	01:18:06
	And, umm.	01:18:10
	Again, very similar 83% utilization for public.	01:18:11
	81% for private.	01:18:16
	Area B 96% Area C 91% for for.	01:18:19
	For public parking areas.	01:18:23
	And then?	01:18:25
	For Seaview, 97% utilization for those private areas.	01:18:26
	So this data really does confirm.	01:18:30
	Kind of what we've been talking about for a few years in regards to parking.	01:18:33
	So there's some general things that we kind of are.	01:18:39
	Want the Council to consider not all these can be achieved right away.	01:18:45
	Some of them can.	01:18:50
	Some of them might be longer term.	01:18:51
	And these are things that can kind of go across the community fairly well.	01:18:54
	Removing red curb at the drainage inlets were feasible.	01:18:58
	Installing some stop signs at some four way intersections where there's a lot of red curves so you can can take that red curve	01:19:02
	out.	01:19:05
	We've had a discussion about that in the past.	01:19:08
	Mark the crosswalks to kind of move the crosswalks further into the intersection so that the impact of the new.	01:19:11
	Clear zone law.	01:19:18
	Doesn't quite impact us as much because it's from the crosswalk.	01:19:19
	At Angle Parking where feasible, there's a number of locations we identified.	01:19:24
	In the report where angle parking could be put in to add a little more supply.	01:19:28
	And even looking in a couple of areas of reducing the number of lanes on a street where the capacity doesn't need more than one	01:19:34
	lane.	01:19:38
	To add parking on the street where there's none now.	01:19:43
	For private parking.	01:19:48
	Allowing So right now, the municipal code says you can only park in a paved area in front of the garages.	01:19:49
	And then it has a maximum amount of.	01:19:57
	Percentage of the yard area that can be impervious.	01:20:00
	So one of the things that.	01:20:05
	That we can look at is.	01:20:08
	Changing those a little bit to maybe allow those driveways to be a little bit wider.	01:20:09
	Those areas that are wider than the garage, maybe they are not totally impervious, but they can be.	01:20:13
	Pervious materials or semi pervious materials?	01:20:20
	That so that it doesn't quite have the impact of everything being paved.	01:20:23
	But it does give the chance for people to add, you know, another space that a car could park that's not on the grass or in the	01:20:28
	side yard or something.	01:20:31
	Encourage the use of on site areas in private multifamily developments. So there's a lot of the areas that were observed where.	01:20:37
	There there was parking available in the private.	01:20:46
	Areas off the street.	01:20:49
	But because every unit sort of has their assigned number of spaces.	01:20:51
	If somebody only has one or two cars, but they have three spaces because they have a.	01:20:55
	Garage and then they have a driveway that can they can put a couple of spaces.	01:21:00
	But they're not utilizing them all.	01:21:04
	That, umm.	01:21:06
	Maybe the community can work.	01:21:08
	With itself through the HOA to say hey, I've got an extra space.	01:21:10
	Can somebody use it and?	01:21:14
	Kind of work that out there. There is some private supply.	01:21:16
	Available particularly in the A1.	01:21:20
	Neighborhood.	01:21:23
	And then and then.	01:21:26
	Kind of some general parking regulation things to consider.	01:21:28
	Moving to either a permitted or a complaint based enforcement of parking in front of your own driveway.	01:21:34
	So right now the Vehicle Code prohibits that practice.	01:21:40
	It does allow a local agency.	01:21:43
	To establish a permit program where somebody can come in and get a permit from the city to park in front of their driveway.	01:21:46
	Permit system without having any other parking permit programs.	01:21:52
	Could be an administrative burden.	01:21:57
	So you could go to just having a complaint based enforcement.	01:21:59
	Rather than a proactive enforcement, whether that's.	01:22:03
	Being done.	01:22:06
	Yeah, that's one other question.	01:22:08
	Prohibit commercial.	01:22:11
	Vehicle parking.	01:22:12
	This is something that you can do the.	01:22:14
	Kind of the problem with the general commercial vehicle parking is a lot of people's larger pickup trucks.	01:22:16
	Are considered by the Vehicle Code to be a commercial vehicle, so we have to be a little careful about.	01:22:22
	About going that far because in residential neighborhoods, if people have businesses.	01:22:27
	Where they have a truck or a van or something that is.	01:22:32
	Defined as a commercial vehicle.	01:22:35
	They would not be allowed to park in on the street and so we.	01:22:36
	We, I think we want to consider that, but that may be going a little too far.	01:22:40
	We can define.	01:22:45
	A commercial vehicle separately.	01:22:46
	Prohibit oversize vehicles.	01:22:50
	So these would be.	01:22:52
	Motorhomes and and large vehicles.	01:22:54
	So right now, tractor trailers and.	01:22:56
	And tractors, trucks and their trailers are not allowed to park.	01:22:59
	But we still have and our observations were that there's only a few across the entire city that we observed.	01:23:05
	Motor homes, mostly.	01:23:12
	We don't.	01:23:16
	I think we do have restrictions for motor homes, right?	01:23:17
	I did not find one in the code. Now maybe we do and I just didn't find it. My uncle would beg to differ with you. OK, got a	01:23:21
	ticket.	01:23:24
	OK, Yeah, I think it's uh, uh.	01:23:28
	And oversized vehicle.	01:23:30
	Yeah.	01:23:33
	Yeah, but.	01:23:34
	I think one of the ideas here was sort of.	01:23:35
	Fine tuning and.	01:23:39
	Crafting some.	01:23:41
	Updating the regulations to be able to enforce that better, yeah.	01:23:42
	And then lastly would be the unattached trailers, so people leaving their boats and.	01:23:47
	Other types of recreational trailers.	01:23:53
	Out in the street that are not attached to a vehicle.	01:23:56
	So.	01:24:05
	Now to get into some of the specific areas.	01:24:06
	Area A1 This is the Victoria Marina area up near.	01:24:10
	Victoria at Hemlock.	01:24:14
	There's actually an opportunity to add some parking on Victoria Ave.	01:24:17
	Not up at the intersection of Hemlock where the the 3rd lane is added, but South of there where there's only two northbound lanes.	01:24:22
	There's a really wide curb lane with the bike lane.	01:24:28
	So some parking could be added there. There's plenty of room. The bike lane would have to be re.	01:24:32
	Restriped.	01:24:36
	Over.	01:24:38
	Adding angle parking along yard arm, spinnaker, sextant and rudder.	01:24:40
	This would actually though, require the streets to be one way.	01:24:46
	Because the streets aren't wide enough. So again, just something to consider. The other thing is the clear zone for fire would not	01:24:50
	be the full.	01:24:54
	20 feet.	01:24:58
	But we thought we wanted to go ahead and, and, and put that out there for discussion because.	01:25:00
	This neighborhood does have alleys also, so there is secondary access.	01:25:04
	Other neighborhoods where there's not that secondary access. This doesn't make sense at all from a.	01:25:09
	A public safety.	01:25:13
	Perspective.	01:25:15
	Encourage property owners to add additional parking spaces on site.	01:25:19
	So there's a picture here of.	01:25:23
	Pretty typical driveway there where?	01:25:25
	They can park 4 cars and then there's kind of this, this is a little bit distorted of a picture because the camera, but.	01:25:28
	There's about.	01:25:34
	7 or 8 feet between the cars in the middle where there's that dark door.	01:25:35
	That is for their laundry room area.	01:25:40
	If they do a little a couple of feet of widening, that gives them enough room to park 1/5 vehicle on their driveway. But again,	01:25:44
	this is something that the.	01:25:48
	The community or the?	01:25:52
	The individual property owners would would have to do.	01:25:54
	And then again, as I talked about earlier, encourage the sharing of of private parking resources so where somebody only has a	01:25:59
	single vehicle and they.	01:26:03
	They don't need to use the whole driveway. Maybe they could give up one of those spaces.	01:26:06
	To a neighbor.	01:26:12
	Area B, which is Yankee Landing. This was an area that was also very high up in the high 90s.	01:26:18
	There, there might be some areas and again, this is this is kind of an HOA thing that the HOA.	01:26:26
	Could reevaluate.	01:26:32
	How their private parking is done on site to see if they could fit in anymore spaces.	01:26:34
	Particularly maybe on the evenings and weekends where there's areas where you could put a car.	01:26:39
	Where you know?	01:26:44
	Day-to-day travel might be kind of tight, but if it's overnight maybe it's OK.	01:26:46
	And some of that parking already happens when the street sweeping occurs.	01:26:50
	People are allowed to park in that neighborhood in areas.	01:26:54
	That gets pretty tight, but it's it's allowed by the HOA for that one day.	01:26:57
	And then?	01:27:03
	Up at hemlock there's quite a bit of red curve for a right turn pocket on.	01:27:05
	To Patterson.	01:27:12
	There's really no, as far as we can tell, there's no traffic need for that to be quite that long, if that need to be there at all.	01:27:14
	But we think at least in the interim until we can kind of do a longer term analysis looking at the.	01:27:22
	The traffic volumes and things.	01:27:26
	We could take about half of that.	01:27:28
	And turn that back into parking.	01:27:30
	Gets us about 6 or 7.	01:27:33
	Area C The Bulker Park.	01:27:38
	Neighborhood umm.	01:27:40
	Again, having the HOA's kind of look within themselves to see if there's more areas they could create parking.	01:27:43
	On side and also the sharing of parking as I've talked about.	01:27:51
	Within the park itself, you're currently not allowed to park there as a resident overnight.	01:27:56
	People do. The park is.	01:28:00
	Full overnight.	01:28:02
	So our recommendation is we just take.	01:28:04
	Remove that restriction.	01:28:06
	Because people are doing it, we're not enforcing it.	01:28:08
	We're probably not going to enforce it, council decision, but.	01:28:11
	That's something we should consider, just removing those restrictions and.	01:28:14
	And recognize how it's being used now.	01:28:18
	And then?	01:28:21
	Bulker Drive to the north of the park is pretty wide. It's 50 feet curb to curb. It's actually way too wide.	01:28:23
	Putting in angle parking will do a variety of things. It will visually narrow the street so hopefully people drive a little	01:28:29
	slower.	01:28:32
	It'll also add quite a few parking spaces.	01:28:36
	And I'm recommending the east side just because the placement of there's a few fire hydrants, but they're all on the West side.	01:28:39
	So you kind of get better utilization of that space if you do it along the.	01:28:46
	The east side.	01:28:50
	Area D the Pomona Clara.	01:28:58
	But Noma Clara neighborhood.	01:29:01
	Adding angle parking along the north side of Pleasant Valley where it's it's really wide. There's kind of a wide pedestrian area	01:29:05
	that's delineated with a bunch of delineators.	01:29:09
	That's for for people to walk into the.	01:29:13
	The base and for kids to go into the school that's there.	01:29:16
	That could be narrowed down to 5 feet and we could put angled parking in there.	01:29:20
	And then also.	01:29:27
	In the area to the east.	01:29:29
	Where there is sidewalk and there's two lanes going westbound.	01:29:32
	That two lanes is not needed.	01:29:38
	At night.	01:29:41
	According to the port.	01:29:44
	To the naval base, it's needed in the morning because everybody coming in, it's a pretty.	01:29:46
	Good cue.	01:29:51
	What we're thinking the overnight we could remove.	01:29:52
	We could remove the parking restriction and allow people to park.	01:29:55
	In that 2nd lane next to the curb at night.	01:29:58
	That gets cool.	01:30:02
	Quite a bit of parking for that neighborhood, though they do have to park across the street.	01:30:03
	Tom, if I could just know right there.	01:30:09
	So we've tried to come up with like these.	01:30:12
	Like option like the menu of options that we could roll out.	01:30:15
	And then, but I wanted to note, I think that was a good point that.	01:30:18
	Some of them would require some follow up conversations like.	01:30:21
	Tom had said with either.	01:30:24
	Agencies like the Navy base or some of the HOA's.	01:30:26
	And so I will just note that I did get a follow up from the Navy base that they would want to talk about Pleasant Valley leading	01:30:30
	into the base. So.	01:30:34
	So on some of these, we're putting these.	01:30:38
	Proposals together, but some of them will. We would follow up with those agencies and come back with what we can do so.	01:30:41
	Just wanted.	01:30:49
	Let everybody know that.	01:30:50
	And to.	01:30:53
	Continue sort of on that vein of discussion.	01:30:55
	Next, we're looking at sort of some future things that the council may want to consider to further increase parking.	01:30:58
	That are going to incur.	01:31:05
	Quite a bit more cost.	01:31:06
	This first one.	01:31:08
	Adding off street parking so there's currently a vacant lot near areas A1 and A2.	01:31:14
	And getting a portion of that lot to be public parking. Now there is a development project that's that's been approved.	01:31:19
	Approval. It's been quite a while since that approval.	01:31:27
	Happened, uh.	01:31:30
	As I understand it, it's John Ascar.	01:31:31
	But when that development comes back through.	01:31:34
	Maybe some?	01:31:37
	Public parking could be.	01:31:39
	Extracted from that development, maybe the developer would be willing to allow the public to park there in certain areas	01:31:41
	overnight.	01:31:45
	So I think a discussion when that development comes back through to get re approved.	01:31:48
	Could really help that.	01:31:55
	That neighborhood?	01:31:56
	We observed.	01:32:00
	We tried to observe how people were using their garages.	01:32:02
	Really tough to do.	01:32:06
	We have no legal right to go in and tell people to show us their garage.	01:32:08
	When When Jim, who did the analysis, drove around.	01:32:12
	His estimate was about.	01:32:16
	50% of the garages were completely full of something other than a car.	01:32:17
	Quite a bit of them had.	01:32:22
	Expanded living space, you know.	01:32:24
	Whether it's.	01:32:27
	A second family room or a man cave or they had, you know, literally.	01:32:29
	There was one they observed where somebody had actually built a bedroom in there and you know, that's.	01:32:35
	That's not uncommon.	01:32:39
	Every city I've ever worked in.	01:32:41
	You see that?	01:32:43
	And they just tend to keep their garage door closed and.	01:32:44
	It takes extraordinary efforts to go enforce that.	01:32:48
	But that is something, if this got really bad and we wanted to look at that, that is something we could do. But that's a very	01:32:51
	heavy-handed.	01:32:55
	City approach and would require a lot of.	01:32:58
	Discussions with the attorney and probably court orders to get people to show us their garages. So.	01:33:03
	Not necessarily a road I think we want to go down, but.	01:33:07
	That is something we could do.	01:33:10
	And then?	01:33:13
	Adding on St. curb parking on Patterson, this would be 1 where we the current traffic volumes on that street are.	01:33:14
	Fairly low. We don't need 2 lanes.	01:33:21
	For the capacity.	01:33:24
	We could keep the bike lane, one vehicle lane and put parking.	01:33:25
	But we wouldn't want to do that until we like resurface the street.	01:33:30
	Work with Oxnard so we can transition.	01:33:33
	And then kind of do an analysis of.	01:33:35
	What does that do to traffic flow and that kind of thing? So something where there's an opportunity, but.	01:33:38
	It's something that we think is future when we get ready to.	01:33:43
	To do some work on that street.	01:33:46
	And then lastly.	01:33:50
	You know the the.	01:33:52
	The best way and.	01:33:53
	Of course we see this with.	01:33:56
	The the arguments about ad use and about mixed-use housing is trying to get people to not buy as many cars and use as many cars.	01:33:57
	As they have.	01:34:05
	So again, I I.	01:34:06
	Through in here, increase active transportation infrastructure and public transit service.	01:34:08
	We have seen in the city of.	01:34:14
	Ventura that I've done a lot of work in.	01:34:17
	The city of Carpinteria is beginning to see this too.	01:34:20
	People are owning less cars.	01:34:23
	Because they have opportunities so.	01:34:26
	Just something to kind of keep out there is that may be a long term.	01:34:28
	Strategy.	01:34:32
	And with that, I'm going to turn it back to Fred.	01:34:37
	To summarize some recommendations.	01:34:40
	So.	01:34:47
	This last slide here are the things that we.	01:34:49
	Really think are the ones that we can get to.	01:34:53
	More quickly and bring.	01:34:56
	Some relief, too.	01:34:59
	Removing red curbs at some of the drainage inlets will free up some parking.	01:35:02
	We can. As you know, we did a pilot project. You approved a pilot project for stop signs and four way stops over on Panoma Street,	01:35:07
	so we could extend that out.	01:35:12
	Which would get us some additional parking in that area.	01:35:18
	One of the things we were also looking at recently we were notified by.	01:35:23
	Gold Coast that they were possibly thinking about removing the bus stops on Panoma as well and.	01:35:28
	The two bus stops on Panoma take up quite a bit of red curb so.	01:35:33
	We haven't heard anything more from them lately regarding whether or not they're planning on still moving forward with that those	01:35:39
	bus stop removals we can follow up with them to see.	01:35:44
	If they have any.	01:35:49
	Updates regarding that.	01:35:50
	If that were to happen, then.	01:35:52
	We could also extend that to include more stop signs, make it a four way stop and then remove all of the red curb.	01:35:56
	If the bus stop wasn't there.	01:36:04
	And then adding the.	01:36:07
	Parking along South side of Hemlock St. at the intersection with with Patterson.	01:36:11
	Allowing the overnight parking on the Northside of Pleasant Valley.	01:36:18
	Again, as as our city manager just mentioned, that would also still require us to.	01:36:23
	Work with the Navy base on that.	01:36:29
	Make sure we weren't having any conflicts with them.	01:36:31
	Regarding.	01:36:35
	Their access through that Pleasant Valley gate.	01:36:37
	With the approval of allowing people to park in front of their own driveway.	01:36:42
	That would free up quite a bit of parking spaces.	01:36:50
	And then as Tom mentioned earlier.	01:36:52
	Not we could do it two ways, we could do it by permit. So if somebody.	01:36:55
	Would have it and it would be able to be verified that the vehicle.	01:36:59
	There belongs to that address.	01:37:02
	Or, umm.	01:37:06
	On a complaint based thing where if someone, let's say a neighbor, decided, well I'm just gonna park in front of my neighbor's	01:37:07
	driveway, obviously someone's gonna be calling pretty quickly.	01:37:11
	And then?	01:37:15
	A response would be required for that to.	01:37:16
	Have them move their vehicle.	01:37:18
	So that's.	01:37:22
	An option, but it that would open up a lot of parking spaces.	01:37:24
	And then?	01:37:29
	Others that would require more work, obviously.	01:37:30
	Going back to.	01:37:33
	Change things in the municipal code to make things more clear about what?	01:37:34
	Types of.	01:37:39
	Vehicles or.	01:37:40
	Things would be allowed in certain areas.	01:37:41
	Prohibiting oversized vehicles.	01:37:44
	To allow that to be.	01:37:48
	More parking spaces.	01:37:51
	Tom did mention that there wasn't a lot of it, but.	01:37:53
	In some areas.	01:37:57
	It seems like every little bit counts.	01:37:59
	And if you have questions, Tom's here, I'm here. Charles Cable is here, So.	01:38:05
	Great. Thank you. Any questions?	01:38:13
	Questions. Mayor Pro.	01:38:16
	I'm sorry, Mayor Pro Tem.	01:38:18
	Yeah, so there is.	01:38:20
	Reading your report.	01:38:22
	There is areas for.	01:38:24
	For improvements for the 50% hardscape landscape.	01:38:26
	Would you recommend taking that down to 30%?	01:38:31
	So that's.	01:38:37
	It's hard to say what that number would be. We have to sit down with the Community Development Department.	01:38:40
	My thought is we leave the 50%.	01:38:45
	But we allow.	01:38:48
	We allow.	01:38:49
	Pervious or semi pervious pavement areas of a certain size.	01:38:51
	To be within that 50%.	01:38:56
	So then it's not, it's not allowing people to just pave their whole front yard.	01:38:58
	Where is that derived from?	01:39:04
	Why did we?	01:39:05
	Arbitrarily pick 50%.	01:39:07
	I don't know.	01:39:10
	The code as I see it, you know, it's, it's got some codification dates. It's been around a long time.	01:39:12
	It's not 8 atypical, you know most cities.	01:39:18
	Don't allow you to pave your whole front yard. They don't allow you to park on on.	01:39:21
	Non uh.	01:39:24
	Non.	01:39:26
	Services as an aesthetic thing, so.	01:39:28
	The 50% is mostly an aesthetic thing so that there is some green in everybody's yard.	01:39:30
	Whether that 50% can be?	01:39:38
	40% or 30%?	01:39:40
	Again, I think we'd have to do a little more analysis.	01:39:43
	Which is why I was thinking maybe a more expedient way to do that is just.	01:39:46
	Keep the 50%.	01:39:50
	But allow up to a certain amount of.	01:39:52
	Square footage to be as long as it's not completely impervious.	01:39:55
	Well, the only reason why I say that is this has been discussed before and.	01:39:59
	And it's.	01:40:04
	We're enforcing it.	01:40:06
	Our code enforcements enforcing it.	01:40:07
	I mean, we, we're getting complaints from neighbors who are.	01:40:10
	Saying, Oh yeah, code enforcement came by and they were like.	01:40:13
	You're you're at 40%, so you're not in compliance and it's just an arbitrary number.	01:40:18
	Just to me it's it's more of a.	01:40:24
	Treating our.	01:40:27
	Single family residence as an HOA.	01:40:28
	And not allowing them to do.	01:40:30
	Whatever they want to do.	01:40:34
	So I just think we've arrived at that, not that 50% as a.	01:40:35
	That's the way it's always been.	01:40:41
	I have heartburn with that.	01:40:44
	Did you have a question?	01:40:49
	Yeah, let's go to.	01:40:51
	Thank you, Mayor, and thank you Mr. Camarillo and.	01:40:57
	Mr.	01:41:01
	Miracle for?	01:41:02
	Your presentation and your analysis.	01:41:04
	When you did the week.	01:41:07
	Day and weekend.	01:41:08
	Surveys.	01:41:10
	Did you do nighttime?	01:41:11
	Yes we did weekday during the day, midday and then.	01:41:13
	The evenings were 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM.	01:41:18
	So and that was definitely the peak during the middle of the week.	01:41:21
	For sure.	01:41:25
	OK, so where is there any case where you found?	01:41:25
	Cars taking up more than one.	01:41:30
	Parking space.	01:41:33
	Parking horizontally against the curb.	01:41:35
	And I know that happens in the Yankee Landing area because I live in that area.	01:41:38
	And so.	01:41:43
	Was I'm asking that question because I'm wondering if there was any.	01:41:46
	Possibility that delineators would.	01:41:51
	Force people to not take up two spaces if they knew that.	01:41:54
	They were parked within the.	01:41:58
	Delineated areas that they wouldn't take up more than two spaces because once one car.	01:42:00
	Along the street parks and two spaces, all the other cars kind of like.	01:42:05
	Bump each other and.	01:42:09
	And there's like half a car.	01:42:11
	Between all these cars and it's just.	01:42:12
	Create more parking if people just parked.	01:42:17
	Yeah.	01:42:20
	Yeah, so.	01:42:22
	Going out and painting actual parking space markings where you're painting every 20 feet you're putting a little tea.	01:42:24
	Yeah, it's something we could do.	01:42:30
	It's very expensive to.	01:42:32
	Put in and maintain and.	01:42:34
	One of the reasons why we didn't recommend it.	01:42:36
	He doesn't look very good. He did not observe.	01:42:39
	That kind of thing happening too much because there's so much demand.	01:42:43
	They're probably fitting in 40 feet. Lots of neighborhoods. They're fitting in three cars and if we mark them for two.	01:42:47
	We're actually potentially taking away spaces.	01:42:53
	So there's kind of.	01:42:56
	There's kind of a two sides of that coin.	01:42:59
	In terms of making it efficient, but also maybe making it.	01:43:03
	Not allowing them to be even more efficient because they.	01:43:08
	Ultimately, the neighbors.	01:43:11
	Are going to try and fit wherever they can and make it as efficient as possible. And if your neighbor is taking up.	01:43:12
	A space and a half. I'm sure his neighbors are saying something to them.	01:43:18
	Just because of.	01:43:23
	You know, but again.	01:43:24
	There's nothing in his notes. He told me he did not see any abnormal parking other than red curb and curb returns.	01:43:26
	Both of those are not allowed, but nothing where people were parking at a slight angle or they were trying to fit in.	01:43:34
	Or where there was kind of this inefficiency just because in those neighborhoods.	01:43:41
	There's so much demand.	01:43:45
	That it just wasn't happening from his observations.	01:43:47
	Did you take the opportunity also to look at parking citations to see the kinds of parking citations people?	01:43:51
	We did not.	01:43:57
	We did not.	01:43:59
	That's it, Council. OK, Councilmember Gama.	01:44:01
	Yeah, I am.	01:44:04
	I get a little indigestion when I think about.	01:44:05
	The single family homes.	01:44:08
	And that arbitrary amount of hardscape.	01:44:11
	Versus Greenscape.	01:44:14
	Because.	01:44:16
	Some lots.	01:44:17
	Are inverted.	01:44:19
	Shape and so the front.	01:44:21
	There's less area.	01:44:23
	For parking.	01:44:25
	If you were to expand.	01:44:26
	And then other lots are the opposite.	01:44:28
	And so.	01:44:30
	When you drive her and I don't think you did much in between a Pleasant Valley and.	01:44:31
	Channel Islands.	01:44:38
	5th place.	01:44:40
	Pearson, all those areas.	01:44:41
	Did you look, you didn't look at those areas, but those would also be candidates where?	01:44:44
	Allowing parking in front of your driveway gets.	01:44:48
	All of those spaces, right? No, no. And I, you know, I in my neighborhood, parking's not a problem except during beach festival or	01:44:52
	when there's a bunch of pickle Ballers going on it.	01:44:56
	But.	01:45:01
	Generally speaking it's pretty good, but.	01:45:02
	When I go to other parts of the city.	01:45:04
	It's like.	01:45:07
	It'd be really frustrating to live.	01:45:08
	To have to battle parking every day.	01:45:11
	And so, yeah, I think we, I think we need to keep that in mind that.	01:45:14
	You know.	01:45:20
	Lots or some of the lots in Wayne are very big, like Gill Ave.	01:45:22
	I mean.	01:45:28
	You could put six cars.	01:45:29
	And some of those front yards with the nice driveway and still be.	01:45:31
	Having that.	01:45:35
	Percentage met.	01:45:36
	But then other areas aren't.	01:45:38
	So generous with with space, you know, so I think.	01:45:39
	And then the other thing, I think that.	01:45:44
	Is kind of odd for me as a Seaview.	01:45:46
	Seaview.	01:45:49
	Gets packed every night.	01:45:51
	Is that what your findings were?	01:45:53
	No, our our observations is that at least during that time period that we looked at it, it was about.	01:45:56
	50 to 60% full at night.	01:46:01
	The private parking.	01:46:04
	Behind the sidewalk was.	01:46:06
	Again, it was that the weeknight it was 103%.	01:46:08
	But on the street it wasn't. And I don't know if people, you know, some people are parking out on the street.	01:46:11
	But maybe.	01:46:17
	You feel more comfortable parking your vehicle.	01:46:19
	On the private property rather than than putting it in street. But that's not what we observed. That doesn't mean that it doesn't.	01:46:21
	Yeah, that's, that's a little odd because.	01:46:28
	I live very close there and I do a lot of walking and stuff but.	01:46:30
	It's always packed.	01:46:33
	There's always a mess on the street and everything.	01:46:35
	And then the other thing when I hear the word commercial vehicles and I think we're talking port truck traffic because there are	01:46:38
	times where.	01:46:42
	And I know they're not supposed to do this, but.	01:46:46
	Port auto transport trucks will park on Seaview.	01:46:48
	And then that has a cascade effect but.	01:46:52
	And then the other thing. OK, so.	01:46:59
	I hate to, I hate, I hate doing this dude.	01:47:02
	We're still in the question phase. We have public comments to go, so let's not get too far into the discussion.	01:47:04
	Anyone else? I'm sorry about that Mister drama.	01:47:09
	Anyone else?	01:47:12
	Go ahead. Last question.	01:47:13
	Bulker Park.	01:47:14
	Where most majority of those cars?	01:47:17
	Did they come from the apartments or were they actually Bulker Park?	01:47:19
	Condominiums areas.	01:47:25
	We don't know because we didn't check license plates.	01:47:28
	We just see the car parked and we're noting that in our observations.	01:47:31
	But we do know that the north part.	01:47:35
	Is more heavily parked than the South Park by a little bit so.	01:47:38
	The apartments.	01:47:42
	Do appear to be.	01:47:43
	Having more which is why putting that angle parking on the north part of book or drive.	01:47:45
	Will sort of help them.	01:47:49
	And then?	01:47:52
	Be beneficial for us.	01:47:53
	Because it's a huge part.	01:47:55
	To widen that.	01:47:57
	Area for parking with the residents. I mean I'm pretty sure they would love that.	01:47:59
	To reduce the green area within the park to add parking.	01:48:05
	Yes.	01:48:08
	That's not a.	01:48:11
	If anywhere you can add parking spaces would help alleviate the problem, it's just a matter of do you want to take away park	01:48:14
	space.	01:48:17
	I imagine you don't have.	01:48:21
	A ton of park space in your community.	01:48:22
	But that's a decision you guys would like from that conversation up there too that I think.	01:48:25
	Part of.	01:48:31
	This round of like that low hanging fruit if you can go back to that last slide.	01:48:32
	As was starting with some simple things that don't cost a whole lot. For one thing, we don't have any money in the budget to do	01:48:37
	some of these things I know like a neighboring city to.	01:48:42
	This week just approved $500,000 just to.	01:48:47
	Do some parking engineering.	01:48:50
	Some parking engineering in their downtown so.	01:48:55
	Actually doing some of this engineering and then doing the work can be expensive, so we tried to find these like low hanging	01:48:59
	fruit.	01:49:02
	Simple cost things I think.	01:49:06
	To the Bulker Park question.	01:49:08
	As of now, the city does not even encourage people to use the lot that's there.	01:49:09
	So that's where we're starting with first step is.	01:49:13
	Let's make that decision. Are we going to like encourage the community to actually use that lot and then from there?	01:49:16
	You know, long term we can look at like next steps from there.	01:49:22
	But as of now there are still signs there that say no parking overnight if I remember correctly.	01:49:27
	So, so that was the thought there. I think the other thing because there's a few questions about the lot coverage.	01:49:33
	So we talked about bringing back changes and I think we just skipped it.	01:49:39
	Accidentally when we went through this, but one of those changes was allowing the wider on site driveways for single family	01:49:43
	development. That's essentially that lot coverage issue.	01:49:47
	One of the ideas that we had talked about.	01:49:52
	Because.	01:49:56
	In sort of direct response to the questions that were asked.	01:49:58
	It looked like most cities picked that 50% number. I don't know if that's just arbitrary or you know what the story is, but that	01:50:01
	seemed to be common.	01:50:05
	So what we were proposing?	01:50:09
	To do.	01:50:11
	Was essentially.	01:50:13
	Trying like a.	01:50:15
	Like a pilot project of saying, you know, something like.	01:50:17
	Than like the 1st 20.	01:50:21
	Houses. I'm just throwing a number out there that want to try to expand with this.	01:50:23
	Permeable material.	01:50:29
	The idea being, there's only two reasons for that law coverage. Standard aesthetics.	01:50:31
	Which I think.	01:50:35
	I think I get the sense that we're at the point now where we're willing to give on aesthetics a little bit to get more parking.	01:50:37
	But the second reason is.	01:50:43
	Water.	01:50:46
	The drainage. Drainage. Yeah, drainage.	01:50:48
	And so the idea would be if we said, let's say that we're going to test, test this out and do something that really hasn't been	01:50:51
	done.	01:50:54
	But you know, let the next 20 houses.	01:50:58
	Who want to try this come in.	01:51:01
	And try to they can expand it as long as it's permeable and that addresses the water issue.	01:51:03
	Then from there, then we can come back and see if it worked, if it caused any other problems, if you know, you know all that kind	01:51:08
	of stuff.	01:51:12
	Because from what we found, we couldn't really find other cities that had.	01:51:16
	Really.	01:51:20
	Even tried that yet?	01:51:21
	So I think.	01:51:23
	That is like the last thing I want to see to this is that we tried to do this when we heard about the things like the state laws	01:51:24
	with not not allowing us to require parking for ad use not allowing.	01:51:30
	Are requiring us to now have more.	01:51:36
	Day lighting, it's called.	01:51:40
	And losing spaces.	01:51:41
	So we try, we were trying to do this evaluation to really be proactive.	01:51:43
	I think to Tom's point, looking at the results.	01:51:48
	One of the spaces, one of the areas is already 103% parked so I think cars are are beating us to the punch.	01:51:52
	But.	01:52:00
	We wanted to try some.	01:52:01
	To make sure we came forward with some simple, quick, low cost ideas that get us some spots.	01:52:03
	That'll start helping, and then it's probably not going to be.	01:52:09
	Just that and we're done. It's probably going to be an ongoing conversation, so.	01:52:12
	So, umm.	01:52:16
	I just wanted to add that.	01:52:18
	Great. So let's move to the public comments. Madam Clerk, do we have any public comments?	01:52:21
	Yes, David Scribner.	01:52:26
	Stiff here, sorry.	01:52:32
	So there's.	01:52:37
	I had a bit more written here, but one of my concerns is Ventura County is getting overwhelmed by traffic to start with, you know?	01:52:38
	I was in LA here.	01:52:46
	While back and.	01:52:47
	Horrified by the traffic and I came back.	01:52:49
	You got on rice.	01:52:51
	And it's like, Oh my God, you know, it's coming here so.	01:52:53
	We have way too many new buildings coming in without enough parking without enough.	01:52:56
	Infrastructure. Umm.	01:53:00
	I believe Oxnard has about 30,000 new residents planned in the next little bit.	01:53:02
	And I don't see any improvements in any of the major streets so.	01:53:07
	It's going to be bad.	01:53:11
	There are two things that I would like to bring up with the parking that are we didn't talk about today.	01:53:14
	The first one is for some reason.	01:53:19
	A while back, people painted Gray over the red by fire hydrants.	01:53:22
	People pull up, park in front of it, don't see the fire hydrant, get a ticket.	01:53:28
	I don't know why those are not painted red.	01:53:33
	You got 15 foot on either side of the.	01:53:35
	The fire hydrant.	01:53:39
	And.	01:53:41
	There are times where the parking people get up with a measuring tape and measure it. And if you're.	01:53:42
	6 inches.	01:53:46
	Over you get a ticket.	01:53:47
	Now, if the goal is to.	01:53:49
	Keep that area open so fire trucks gonna access it.	01:53:51
	Then I don't know why they're not painted red, and I have no idea why somebody painted no Gray.	01:53:55
	So you can't even see him.	01:54:00
	I'd like you to think about that.	01:54:02
	The other one.	01:54:05
	That I brought want to bring up is in the Miranda Park.	01:54:06
	We've got the northeast corner of that park, which is been filled with.	01:54:10
	For lack of better word, ne'er do wells for years.	01:54:15
	People that get in there, they drank, they shoot drugs up.	01:54:18
	They're in hiding under the trees.	01:54:21
	The only thing that ever worked to get him out of there was when.	01:54:24
	The area was conned off.	01:54:28
	You would have thought that if they wanted to stay in the park, they'd have moved to another area.	01:54:31
	They don't because they don't want to be seen. That back area is.	01:54:36
	Kind of hidden.	01:54:40
	Back under the trees and there are people there constantly.	01:54:41
	Living in their cars and.	01:54:46
	I would really like a recommendation from the Council to.	01:54:48
	Put a time limit on how long you can park there.	01:54:52
	We stopped cleaning it off because the.	01:54:55
	Pickleball players needed to use it.	01:54:58
	And which is what it was for. But we now we have these people who are pretty much living there creating problems and.	01:55:00
	The only way I can see the.	01:55:07
	When they couldn't park back up under the trees, they left the park. They didn't want to sit in the middle where everybody can see	01:55:11
	what they're doing.	01:55:14
	So I would really like to think about having you.	01:55:17
	Put a 2-3 hour time limit which is not going to bother anybody using the park.	01:55:22
	It would help.	01:55:27
	Thank you.	01:55:29
	Thank you.	01:55:30
	And we have two written comments.	01:55:33
	Good evening Mayor, Mayor, Pro Tem, City Council member, city staff and fellow community members. My name is Hilda Ocampo and I	01:55:36
	reside on Clara St.	01:55:40
	I'm writing to express my deep concerns regarding the current parking regulations affecting front yard usage in our community.	01:55:45
	As the homeowner on a corner property lot providing Apple open space in front my front yard.	01:55:52
	I find the existing ordinance limiting and inefficient.	01:55:58
	The current municipal code spec.	01:56:01
	Specifically, section 10226, subsection C restricts certain activities and front yards, including the parking of inoperable	01:56:03
	vehicles.	01:56:08
	While it does not explicitly prohibit all front yard parking.	01:56:13
	The code imposes limitations on the amount of landscaping allowed in these areas.	01:56:17
	For instance, ordinance #795 limits fixed concrete.	01:56:22
	Asphalt or similar hardscape materials to no more than 50%.	01:56:27
	Of the required front yard area.	01:56:31
	This restriction effectively reduces the available parking space and imposes conditions more typical.	01:56:33
	Of a homeowners association rather than a city ordinance designed to address practical parking needs.	01:56:39
	Given the growing demand for parking, especially with the rise of accessory dwelling units.	01:56:45
	In our community, I respectfully propose amending ordinance #795 to reduce the hardscaping limitation from 50% to 30%.	01:56:51
	This adjustment would allow for wider driveways and additional parking spaces that are not limited to the area directly in front.	01:57:00
	Of garages, thereby increasing parking availability for residents on their own properties.	01:57:07
	I believe this change is a practical solution that will benefit many homeowners and support our communities involving needs.	01:57:13
	Thank you, Hilda J Ocampo.	01:57:20
	Dear Georgiana Alvarez, here is the revised Under 500 words written submission to the City Council.	01:57:27
	I and my family are new residents to Port Hueneme.	01:57:33
	As in May, I bought a townhouse on the 300 block of Surfside Drive. We have an additional car that cannot be accommodated by my	01:57:36
	two single car garages.	01:57:41
	Also, the HOA at Beachport Cottages has 14 visitor parking places for 30 townhouses.	01:57:46
	And does not allow residents to park overnight.	01:57:52
	The parking on the 300 block of Surfside Drive is extremely restrictive with 1/2.	01:57:55
	To our parking limits and no overnight parking.	01:58:00
	Same thing for the parking city lots E&F on Surfside with no overnight parking.	01:58:04
	It is my understanding this has not always been so on Surfside and over in our.	01:58:09
	Overnight parking was not prohibited.	01:58:14
	I know the city is doing a parking survey, however it appears that this is going to be a lengthy endeavor and I need a resolution	01:58:17
	pretty quickly.	01:58:20
	Councilmember Stephen Gamos, who I spoke with briefly last week, suggested to me that it was possible to get a parking permit for	01:58:25
	one of the city lots as a resident.	01:58:30
	I'm requesting as a homeowner resident, a parking permit for overnight parking either on the street of the 300 block of Surfside	01:58:35
	Drive or in one of the city parking lots on Surfside.	01:58:41
	This is something that many municipalities do for a fee.	01:58:46
	In addition, the side street industrial also has very restrictive parking and no overnight parking, which I understand was also.	01:58:50
	Not always so restricted.	01:58:59
	The cul-de-sac area at the end of industrial is where there is unrestricted parking. However, there are only about 5 parking	01:59:00
	spaces that are always full.	01:59:04
	I do not know why the parking is so restrictive. I understand it is close to the beach and there are always parking concerns.	01:59:09
	However, I believe it is reasonable for residents to have the right to park on city streets without over restrictive parking	01:59:15
	limitations.	01:59:19
	I had planned to come to the City Council meeting in person and present this verbally, however due to unforeseen circumstances I'm	01:59:23
	not able to attend tonight.	01:59:27
	Thank you for your consideration, Jeanette Orlando.	01:59:31
	And that concludes public comment.	01:59:34
	Great. Thank you.	01:59:37
	So we we have before us a recommendation to receive and file this report and direct staff as to what additional actions, if any.	01:59:38
	They want, they want staff, we want staff to complete.	01:59:46
	Or perform.	01:59:49
	Other analysis Is there a motion and a second?	01:59:51
	Motion to receive a file and to approve the staff recommendations.	01:59:54
	Is there a second?	02:00:00
	So just to be clear on that, I think.	02:00:02
	We didn't listen in the report, but the staff recommendations are the to start with the immediate short term recommendations,	02:00:04
	correct? OK, thank you.	02:00:08
	Great. Is there a second?	02:00:13
	I second.	02:00:15
	Any further discussion?	02:00:17
	Yes. So I'd like to comment on the 50%.	02:00:19
	Issue that's being discussed. So that was put in there by the Landscape Policy Committee that was developed a couple years ago to	02:00:24
	overhaul.	02:00:27
	And update our landscape policy. And the reason for that was many.	02:00:30
	Reasons.	02:00:34
	Some of them being environmental infrastructure.	02:00:36
	Umm and landscape that is because aesthetic issues, green space and we just didn't want.	02:00:39
	Our yards looking like Oxnard where people are parking multiple cars in the front yard and it starts to look kind of trashy. So we	02:00:45
	wanted our community to look.	02:00:49
	The way it does now, which is nice and clean and people have green space.	02:00:54
	And it's just that was the reason why we kept the 50%.	02:00:58
	Basically.	02:01:02
	All right, any other comments?	02:01:03
	Yeah.	02:01:05
	I have a comment. OK, go right ahead.	02:01:07
	Yeah, so.	02:01:09
	I just think that you could still aesthetically make your house look good.	02:01:11
	With 30%.	02:01:15
	Landscape.	02:01:17
	Just gonna.	02:01:18
	It to me it's.	02:01:20
	It's being in force.	02:01:22
	And it's.	02:01:25
	Adus coming?	02:01:28
	More and more.	02:01:29
	Parking is getting scarce.	02:01:31
	I we're, we're setting them up for more tickets. That's what we're doing.	02:01:33
	And code enforcement is very aggressive.	02:01:39
	And something needs to be done.	02:01:41
	We just can't keep.	02:01:44
	This. We can't keep this just because it's aesthetic.	02:01:45
	Are we going to worry about aesthetics? Are we going to worry about parking? Well, it wasn't just aesthetics. It was, I mean.	02:01:50
	A lot less soil in the yard causes potential flooding rain. Less ground.	02:01:56
	You know, doesn't allow rainwater to.	02:02:01
	Absorb and it could cause infrastructure issues for.	02:02:04
	You know, for houses, water seeps in underneath if you can't.	02:02:07
	Absorb into the ground. So there were multiple reasons.	02:02:10
	Not just not just aesthetics.	02:02:13
	I think I would.	02:02:16
	Different. I would beg to differ that more concrete.	02:02:18
	Away from your house would actually benefit your house, keeping water running away from it.	02:02:22
	I I just think it's it's too.	02:02:29
	It's too intrusive to.	02:02:31
	Single family residence when there's plenty of room in your in your front yard.	02:02:33
	There's a way to aesthetically make it look.	02:02:38
	Appealing.	02:02:41
	And still park another car.	02:02:43
	In your front driveway.	02:02:45
	Councilmember Gamma.	02:02:49
	Yeah.	02:02:50
	I think these short term recommendations are.	02:02:51
	I think we all.	02:02:55
	My consent says we all agree that we need to try to implement these and.	02:02:56
	Free up parking where we can.	02:03:01
	For the bigger.	02:03:03
	Items. Umm.	02:03:04
	I really do think that.	02:03:06
	We need to come back on this and and think about long term.	02:03:08
	I know of a.	02:03:12
	Of Adu.	02:03:13
	Over here on Oak.	02:03:15
	Court, uh.	02:03:16
	And there is no part is the one place in Winnemi where there's no parking. And so sometimes and then.	02:03:18
	One house has a really big lot and he.	02:03:24
	Put a three unit at you in the back he's got.	02:03:27
	RV on the side of his house, a big storage container and he still has.	02:03:31
	A big old driveway in his front with three or four cars on it.	02:03:36
	You know, so every every place is different.	02:03:40
	You know, so I think we really have to take it case by case and try to.	02:03:44
	And then the bigger items like Pleasant Valley.	02:03:49
	I think that's a great idea, however.	02:03:55
	People race down that road.	02:03:58
	And so, you know, there'd have to be maybe some speed humps put in.	02:04:00
	I mean it's a really busy Rd. in the morning.	02:04:05
	Especially when the gates open and people are pouring on the work so.	02:04:08
	I think short term, yes, we should do this, but I think in the long term we really need to start.	02:04:12
	Really trying to create more parking and then.	02:04:17
	You know, I do know that with over at the collection, all those apartments, if you ever try to go over there and visit somebody	02:04:21
	and park, you can't.	02:04:24
	It's impossible to park over there and my understanding is is that.	02:04:28
	They you have to use your one car garage.	02:04:32
	And they actually limit the amount of cars you could.	02:04:36
	Go there.	02:04:39
	With so I don't.	02:04:40
	Hope that we're going to get to that point.	02:04:42
	But.	02:04:44
	When there is a lack of parking and garages aren't being used and and driveways aren't being used, I mean.	02:04:46
	I don't think the city wants to be a HOA, but I do believe we have to make accommodations and then.	02:04:55
	To the lady in the HOA.	02:05:00
	I I could, I don't know if you.	02:05:03
	We had a family on our street that had three college kids.	02:05:07
	And they all had a car.	02:05:11
	And they're all living at home, going to college, and then when they graduate, they move on. And now we don't have a parking	02:05:12
	problem, but we used to have a parking problem, so.	02:05:16
	You know, how do we?	02:05:20
	How do we accommodate the short term problems versus the long term problems and?	02:05:22
	Back to to Pleasant Valley.	02:05:27
	You know, if you're gonna put parking on the other side of the street, that's gonna benefit everyone over here is the Navy's gonna	02:05:29
	agree to it. But then you got to slow people down. I mean, it just it just kind of like cascading effect, so.	02:05:35
	I think we need to.	02:05:42
	Go with these short term recommendations and over the next two to 3-4 years I think we're we're going to have to make.	02:05:44
	Additional.	02:05:50
	Harder.	02:05:52
	More costly adjustments to accommodate.	02:05:53
	Parking.	02:05:57
	Great. Thank you, Councilman Hernandez.	02:05:59
	OK, no other comments.	02:06:03
	Can I just note with the short term recommendations?	02:06:05
	The I know the lot coverage topic is, is a hot topic that we hear a lot on. I think we will bring try to bring that back with the	02:06:09
	short term and a long term solution.	02:06:13
	Sort of first priority before.	02:06:18
	Before some of the others. So that that I know we have a lot of opinions on, but we'll bring it back so we can make some decisions	02:06:20
	on that.	02:06:23
	And it costs no money.	02:06:27
	Potentially, yeah, Yeah.	02:06:29
	If we do it right, yeah.	02:06:30
	OK, great. Madam Clerk, please take a vote. I'm gonna take a roll call. Vote Councilmember Goma.	02:06:31
	Yes, Councilmember Hernandez. Yes, Councilmember Perez. Yes, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez. Yes, Mayor McQueen Lejon. Yes. Motion passes	02:06:38
	unanimously.	02:06:42
	Thank you. And thank you, Mr. Camarillo, for your report.	02:06:47
	All right, we'll move to item number 17, Veterans Advisory Ad Hoc Committee discussion.	02:06:50
	Will staff please present the report?	02:06:55
	City Manager, Yes, Thank you.	02:06:59
	So the.	02:07:01
	Back in April of 2025, the council agreed to.	02:07:05
	Give staff direction to move forward with starting an ad hoc veterans advisory committee with step one being.	02:07:11
	Advertise umm.	02:07:18
	Through all our.	02:07:20
	The the same way we advertise all of our commissions and committees through our social media and through.	02:07:22
	Our website.	02:07:28
	And making the applications available.	02:07:30
	For applicants to participate.	02:07:33
	And so we.	02:07:35
	Advertised those.	02:07:37
	Over the last couple of months.	02:07:41
	We received I think it was 2 applications initially.	02:07:44
	We umm.	02:07:48
	We wanted to bring this back before the summer break so we can get working on it, so we gave a couple weeks time extension.	02:07:49
	We got a third applicant.	02:07:56
	I was hoping that we'd get two more applicants because it happens sometimes that, you know, the day before we're going to council	02:07:58
	you get the two other applicants. But.	02:08:01
	As of now, we've received 3 applicants.	02:08:05
	So we wanted to bring those forward to the Council again, like I said a moment ago.	02:08:09
	Really. Because we're about to go into a summer break and so I think.	02:08:13
	There's an opportunity for the council to decide.	02:08:17
	Depending on how to proceed, if there's some work that can be done, then over the summer is usually a good time to get started on	02:08:20
	it, so we wanted to bring it back.	02:08:25
	There's.	02:08:30
	Options that the Council has at this point, one could simply be extending the application period further.	02:08:31
	And.	02:08:38
	Even just saying extend the application period until we have a minimum of five applicants and then we can do that.	02:08:40
	We just didn't want to leave people.	02:08:46
	Hanging in the meantime.	02:08:48
	Without that decision having been made.	02:08:50
	Another could be modifying the committees membership criteria.	02:08:54
	Such as, since it's an ad hoc saying that we're going to start with.	02:08:57
	Three members for example, and then.	02:09:01
	You know, have them, you know, get to work and then.	02:09:04
	It doesn't mean that the.	02:09:08
	Later, that couldn't be.	02:09:10
	Adjusted umm.	02:09:12
	Or alternate direction. There's probably 1000 different options.	02:09:14
	But we wanted to bring it back to council.	02:09:20
	For Council to consider and we included the three applications that we've currently received.	02:09:23
	Actually, it looks OK. Yeah, it's 3.	02:09:30
	That may be a fourth one did sneak in, but.	02:09:32
	So we brought in the applications we've received and the item is for the council to determine how to proceed.	02:09:35
	Thank you.	02:09:42
	Any questions for city manager?	02:09:52
	Councilmember.	02:09:55
	Is anything presenting preventing us from going with three?	02:09:56
	No.	02:10:02
	So if we let's say we.	02:10:05
	The council approved 3.	02:10:08
	And we gave, we still gave an extension and we.	02:10:10
	Say we got another.	02:10:14
	5 applicants.	02:10:15
	And then we.	02:10:17
	Pro ceed with just.	02:10:19
	Picking the two additional.	02:10:21
	Yeah. I think what I'd recommend at that point then is say, let's start with three.	02:10:23
	And I think, well, actually there's sort of two paths there that the council could pick is we could start with three and the	02:10:28
	council could just say that we'll take the next two applicants. I think we could technically do that because it's just, it's an ad	02:10:32
	hoc, it's not a formal committee.	02:10:36
	Or the other would be.	02:10:41
	Start with three and then when we get more applications, bring them back to council to be considered.	02:10:43
	So either of those options. So I think that's I think that's a great idea.	02:10:48
	I just want to put this on the record. My only concern would be if we didn't get additional.	02:10:52
	And one decided not to follow through, then we only have two and we can't do business with two people.	02:10:57
	So I just want to put that out there just so everybody understands.	02:11:03
	That's a good point, So.	02:11:08
	Yeah, I think then I would.	02:11:09
	Wanted just to be clear then that if we assuming that three are interested in participating, then we could move forward with those	02:11:12
	and so we could.	02:11:16
	We could reach out to them and and.	02:11:20
	Make sure of that. But as of now they had submitted their applications. We haven't heard that anybody's withdrawn them.	02:11:22
	One of the reasons why we did bring it forward because we thought about should we just extend it, you know, through the summer,	02:11:28
	But it's possible sometimes that people will move on after, you know, a couple of months of waiting, so.	02:11:33
	We wanted to just at least be able to give an update.	02:11:38
	Councilmember Gama.	02:11:41
	I'd like to make a motion.	02:11:43
	Wherever we're at that point where we get a.	02:11:45
	If they're, let's see if there's any more. Any other questions?	02:11:47
	Any other questions?	02:11:50
	OK, if there are no other questions, let's get we'll take a motion in a second.	02:11:51
	Yeah, I would just like to make a motion to approve the three and start the work and.	02:11:55
	Before.	02:12:02
	Have a conversation with the three, make sure you're still interested, start the work and let's get going and.	02:12:03
	So like to make a motion. Before we take a motion, are there any public comments?	02:12:09
	No public comment? Great. Go right ahead.	02:12:13
	So that'll be my motion.	02:12:16
	I second.	02:12:18
	2nd.	02:12:19
	Any other discussion?	02:12:21
	If not, Madam Clerk, please take a vote.	02:12:22
	All in favor.	02:12:25
	Aye, all opposed.	02:12:26
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:12:28
	Great. Thank you. Let's move on to item number 18, strategic partnership, joint meeting options including the Port of Winimi.	02:12:31
	Oxnard Harbor District.	02:12:39
	Will staff please present the report?	02:12:41
	Thank you.	02:12:43
	The this item is on the agenda today. It's we've actually had a strategic partnerships discussion a few times this year.	02:12:47
	And we?	02:12:56
	The Council had discussed a few times how to structure a strategic partnership conversation. What agencies would be involved in a	02:12:58
	strategic partnership conversation?	02:13:02
	And I think most recently when we discussed it, I think it was about end of April.	02:13:07
	The council asked staff to put some thought into how a meeting could be held and returned to council with.	02:13:13
	With some options on how a meeting could be held.	02:13:20
	As we mentioned the staff report, in the last couple of months, we've had a lot of conversation related to.	02:13:24
	The revenue sharing agreement with the port and other questions related to.	02:13:30
	The city and port collaboration.	02:13:37
	Including at the end of our last council meeting, I think there was 4 different.	02:13:40
	Requests to discuss items with the port.	02:13:45
	So.	02:13:49
	With all of that in mind, we.	02:13:50
	Are recommending that the Council.	02:13:54
	Consider starting and having the first strategic partnership conversation with the port.	02:13:56
	In what would essentially be a joint meeting format with all 5 council members.	02:14:01
	All 5 commissioners they.	02:14:07
	City manager and City attorney and the CEO and.	02:14:11
	Port Attorney.	02:14:15
	And having starting with a.	02:14:17
	Meeting that the agencies could work over the next couple of months with on an agenda, with that agenda being discussed at a	02:14:20
	future council meeting in a future report meeting.	02:14:25
	To put an agenda together and a.	02:14:31
	Make sure everybody agrees on a process for a joint meeting.	02:14:34
	And then the staff report includes potential goals based on a lot of the questions that.	02:14:38
	Have been asked a lot of the.	02:14:43
	Topics that have been discussed between the city and the port.	02:14:46
	That essentially we could just get everybody in the room and have.	02:14:49
	Those conversations.	02:14:52
	So we.	02:14:54
	Are bringing that forward with that recommendation. I think the only thing last thing I want to add is.	02:14:56
	I think in some of the comments maybe there is a concern that we wouldn't continue to have the.	02:15:01
	Joint Committee of two and two.	02:15:07
	But our thought.	02:15:10
	Is that that?	02:15:11
	Proposed or intended at all?	02:15:14
	The joint committee.	02:15:17
	Exists and would still exist.	02:15:18
	This was a.	02:15:20
	In response to a council request to have a strategic partnership meeting that would include the port.	02:15:24
	Which is just a.	02:15:30
	It's a full group to let all 10 members.	02:15:32
	Be able to have input and provide.	02:15:35
	Feedback, guidance, etc.	02:15:38
	So I'm happy to answer any questions but.	02:15:41
	We propose this. We note that.	02:15:44
	When you do try to schedule a meeting with two Brown act.	02:15:46
	Bodies 2 full boards.	02:15:50
	It usually requires some back and forth. It means it has to be brought to council meeting, then a port meeting and then, you know,	02:15:53
	potentially back and forth a couple times.	02:15:57
	So one reason we.	02:16:02
	Wanted to bring this.	02:16:04
	For now.	02:16:06
	On top of.	02:16:07
	The fact that we've been discussing it is that.	02:16:08
	If we started now.	02:16:11
	My estimate is it would probably take a few months to actually.	02:16:13
	Get everything set, an agenda set and a date set for.	02:16:16
	For both groups.	02:16:20
	So I think starting now means.	02:16:22
	Basically aiming for a September, October meeting.	02:16:25
	And if we don't have.	02:16:28
	Agree soon to having such a meeting. It probably won't happen this year so.	02:16:31
	It's just something.	02:16:35
	To keep in mind regarding timing that.	02:16:38
	These meetings don't come together very quickly typically so.	02:16:40
	So with that.	02:16:45
	We're happy to answer it.	02:16:46
	Sonic Boom.	02:16:48
	OK, OK, all good.	02:16:50
	Take it easy.	02:16:52
	All right. Thank you.	02:16:53
	Great. Thank you. City Manager questions. Do you have any questions? I have a comment so.	02:16:56
	Yeah, like it or not.	02:17:00
	Bound by the Brown Act and I think.	02:17:02
	Again, like it or not, you know we have to follow the rules.	02:17:05
	And.	02:17:09
	We probably don't like the fact that it's so hard to get these two bodies together, however.	02:17:11
	You know where?	02:17:16
	We have a public agency partnership like no other in the county.	02:17:18
	And I think we owe it to the citizens of Port Hueneme.	02:17:24
	To have conversations that matter.	02:17:28
	And were inhibited.	02:17:31
	To having those conversations right now. Now we have.	02:17:33
	Two members that are supposed to go meet.	02:17:36
	On the for the Community Benefit Fund.	02:17:38
	And you know, that went off the rails last time in my opinion.	02:17:43
	But I can't talk to it. I can't talk to you about it because it's a Brown Act violation.	02:17:46
	I can't say to the two members, they're going to go over there, hey, make sure you talk about this. It's a Brown Act violation.	02:17:51
	So like it or not.	02:17:58
	I think we need to figure out a way.	02:18:00
	To have conversations that matter.	02:18:03
	That don't put us in a position to violate the Brown Act.	02:18:06
	And.	02:18:10
	It probably will be uncomfortable at first, but that's OK.	02:18:12
	You know, we just.	02:18:16
	We have to have a mechanism maybe to have two meetings a year.	02:18:17
	That's what I would hope would happen, but.	02:18:21
	You know to.	02:18:24
	The Community benefit to member to member.	02:18:26
	You know, that's for the Community Benefit Fund.	02:18:30
	Because someone's shaking their head, but you know, that's an opinion.	02:18:33
	And I.	02:18:37
	Don't believe?	02:18:40
	Anyone of us should be silenced and if.	02:18:42
	The five of us have an obligation.	02:18:45
	To be a partner.	02:18:49
	The port.	02:18:52
	And we have to do it in a public manner. We have to have public conversations. And I think that's what this.	02:18:54
	To me is all about.	02:18:59
	Great. Thank you, Councilmember Hernandez.	02:19:01
	Thank you, Mayor.	02:19:05
	Umm, I thought there was kind of two issues in this staff report. 1 was.	02:19:08
	To talk about this.	02:19:13
	Joint well the strategic.	02:19:17
	Planning discussion.	02:19:19
	And somehow it's turned into a joint city port meeting.	02:19:21
	I believe that the original.	02:19:26
	Intent when I introduced the idea of a.	02:19:28
	Strategic planning meeting it was.	02:19:32
	Bring not just the port together, but the community to get together. A representative from from our school districts. A	02:19:35
	representative.	02:19:38
	From our.	02:19:42
	Boys and Girls Club, The Port, the Navy Base, Winnie Coalition All.	02:19:44
	Critical stakeholders in our community and talk about something that's very specific and at this point I would say economic	02:19:50
	development might be the the topic.	02:19:54
	So that was my vision for a strategic planning session now.	02:19:59
	Umm, I know that would take a lot of work.	02:20:06
	I don't think.	02:20:09
	Having to post the meetings should be such an obstacle we if we are talking about doing a meeting with the port.	02:20:10
	With both full bodies attending.	02:20:17
	It's not that big of a deal. We've done it before. I think we've done it almost twice before.	02:20:19
	We've done it twice and it's not. It shouldn't be.	02:20:25
	A barrier to us having that kind of meeting, however, if we do decide to do that.	02:20:29
	I think we have to be very.	02:20:34
	Specific on what it is we want from the port, what it is that.	02:20:37
	We want to talk about what are our questions and.	02:20:41
	We have yet to figure that out up here on the dais, which we can do very easily.	02:20:45
	In a public discussion is get down to the.	02:20:51
	Essence of what it is we want from the port.	02:20:56
	So before we even get into a joint meeting, I think we need.	02:20:59
	To be able to determine that.	02:21:04
	Now do we need a joint meeting to do that?	02:21:06
	Personally, I feel we don't.	02:21:09
	When we appointed the mayor and the mayor Pro Tem to represent or the City Council.	02:21:12
	They were appointed.	02:21:17
	They were entrusted.	02:21:19
	And I have full confidence in them that they can represent this council.	02:21:20
	At a body given at the port city meetings and.	02:21:25
	Take to those meetings are.	02:21:29
	Comments whether it's the community benefit fund or it's the settlement agreements or it's.	02:21:32
	Talking about other issues, there is nothing that says in the settlement agreements that we can't do that.	02:21:39
	In fact, there's precedent.	02:21:45
	An earlier agenda items and in earlier minutes that other items indeed were discussed.	02:21:47
	At the city port meeting, other than just the community benefit fund.	02:21:53
	It's the Brown act that's the problem here, but it's not a Brown act if we're discussing it here in an open forum.	02:21:58
	So.	02:22:05
	Yeah, it's not a brown. If we discuss it here in an open forum in public, there's the trans.	02:22:09
	That's where we can be transparent in the issues that we want to take.	02:22:13
	To this.	02:22:18
	Joint court meeting.	02:22:19
	So I would like to be able to know that at the next port city meeting that we're not going to run into a situation where.	02:22:21
	We tie the hands of our representatives in discussing any issues related to city port relationships.	02:22:30
	I expect the committee.	02:22:38
	Representatives to glean from our City Council.	02:22:40
	The discussion items to to get them narrowed down to a.	02:22:44
	At a point where they can intelligently discuss them at the port city meetings, I would like to see them meet with the city	02:22:50
	manager so the three of you can actually.	02:22:55
	Come up with your strategy about what messaging we want to take to that meeting.	02:22:59
	Go equipped with staff reports. Go equipped with the settlement agreements. Have staff put together a binder so you have those.	02:23:04
	Those pieces of information at your fingertips. And then we should always have an agendas meeting before the city port.	02:23:11
	Meeting. So those are kind of my recommendations so we don't run into what happened at the last meeting.	02:23:18
	And and give you that authority and the tools that you need.	02:23:24
	To fully have a.	02:23:28
	Productive discussion.	02:23:30
	Mayor Pro Tem and then we'll come back.	02:23:32
	OK.	02:23:35
	Couple things that I know we're bound by the agreement on.	02:23:36
	That particular meeting.	02:23:40
	Just reading.	02:23:42
	The agreement.	02:23:43
	However, I will make a comment I.	02:23:44
	Things that what?	02:23:47
	That we need to kind of expand on is.	02:23:48
	That's the DC trip.	02:23:51
	Like what do we want?	02:23:53
	To what do we need to do?	02:23:56
	To so the poor can help us lobby.	02:23:59
	Like that needs to come from and we need direction so that we can take it.	02:24:01
	With staff.	02:24:06
	To because they have a lobbyist.	02:24:08
	In DC they pay for and they would.	02:24:11
	Sounds like they would help us with that so.	02:24:13
	Again, I'm just thinking out loud.	02:24:15
	Free. Willing.	02:24:18
	So let me let me just ask you a question.	02:24:21
	So are you what you're going through right now you're giving us, you're talking about ideas for the conversation. So when we do.	02:24:22
	If when we do go to the port meeting.	02:24:31
	There should be some things that we can talk about and it's.	02:24:34
	It's things that.	02:24:38
	This joint meeting does which.	02:24:39
	It pre plans that DC trip.	02:24:42
	Which is part of the CBF, right? So the only reason I asked that is because we're not at the point to talk about what those items	02:24:46
	are just yet. We're actually talking about if.	02:24:50
	We should have it.	02:24:56
	Well, that's what I'm saying. Once it's decided if we, we should.	02:24:57
	If anything with keeping within the CBF.	02:25:01
	That DC trip is part of the CBF and it's something that we should have.	02:25:06
	Control over.	02:25:10
	Once the council says, hey, we want you guys to lobby for these.	02:25:13
	Things and then we take it with us.	02:25:17
	That's one. Grant writing is another CBF item.	02:25:19
	And it's just sitting there.	02:25:23
	Idle not doing nothing.	02:25:24
	We need direction.	02:25:27
	Let's let's move on that.	02:25:29
	And instead of having a joint meeting, why can't we do?	02:25:33
	A joint town hall.	02:25:36
	Why can't we do that?	02:25:40
	The that isn't a possibility.	02:25:47
	So I think that's one of the.	02:25:50
	The ideas what this is asking the council what structure you would want for that meeting. We proposed one, but but it can be	02:25:52
	something else identified by the council. So let me let me just kind of summarize what you're communicating to us is that those	02:25:57
	items on the CBF that we have already we have they haven't been approved by the port.	02:26:03
	But we have all we have agreed on them if they were approved.	02:26:09
	By the combined group, those are some topics that we should be freely able to talk about in.	02:26:13
	With preparation, yes, got it.	02:26:20
	Let's go around.	02:26:23
	Sorry, Councilman.	02:26:25
	So yeah, I agree with that. First of all, the grant writing is already there. It's already been approved. It's just waiting for	02:26:26
	our direction as to what.	02:26:30
	Where we want to put it.	02:26:34
	And we already know and because I've heard this before the.	02:26:35
	Poor already wants to do.	02:26:38
	DC trip, that's their plan all along. So we should probably get in mind as to what we want to do, what that looks like.	02:26:43
	We need to plan that, but the problem I have with the port city meetings is.	02:26:48
	They put on an agenda.	02:26:52
	There's always an agenda.	02:26:54
	Ahead of time.	02:26:55
	But they didn't stick to the agenda.	02:26:57
	They went off the agenda.	02:27:00
	And that's the problem with being able to prepare for a meeting.	02:27:01
	When you go in.	02:27:05
	To the agenda that you get from them.	02:27:06
	As to what we're going to talk about, and you go there ready to talk about what's on the agenda and then they throw all these	02:27:08
	other things that aren't on the agenda.	02:27:12
	That's the issue that I have.	02:27:15
	How do we get them back to talking about the agenda items and sticking to those?	02:27:17
	That way we can have.	02:27:21
	Functional discussions and be prepared for meetings ahead of time.	02:27:23
	Thank you.	02:27:29
	Yeah. And it's back to the Brown Act thing. So it's very difficult unless we were to have an agenda item and we're going to talk	02:27:32
	about ABCD as it relates to the port. And then when we decide, OK, these are our five items that we want to have a conversation	02:27:37
	with the port.	02:27:42
	Then we have to get them to agree to that and then we have a joint meeting, which is a big ask, but.	02:27:47
	We're partners.	02:27:54
	We got to work on this partnership.	02:27:56
	And when we do things like, well, we'll have our attorney get back to you, That doesn't sound like a partnership to me.	02:27:59
	And so I feel like it's imperative.	02:28:06
	To improve our relationship, our partnership that we.	02:28:10
	Have a joint meeting so that we could talk.	02:28:13
	Talk and have an agenda.	02:28:16
	But yeah, I was.	02:28:19
	You know what? My name got thrown in. I didn't see my name on the agenda. I would have loved to come and, you know, speak on my	02:28:20
	behalf.	02:28:23
	But you know, my name gets thrown out as others.	02:28:27
	But I think what we need.	02:28:30
	We really need to work on our partnership.	02:28:32
	And this is the most unique.	02:28:36
	Public agency Partnership in Ventura County.	02:28:39
	The broader LA County, I can't think of any other.	02:28:43
	I mean, of course, Long Beach and LA Port.	02:28:47
	You know, we we have to.	02:28:50
	We have to change the way we're doing things and the only.	02:28:52
	And the Brown acts the biggest issue.	02:28:56
	Because.	02:28:58
	If we're going to send two people over.	02:28:59
	I'll wait before you go over, I got one more thing I want. You know, I don't feel like you're you know that it's your job to.	02:29:01
	I I need to speak for myself.	02:29:09
	As each of us do.	02:29:11
	And, you know, when we have a joint meeting, we could do that, then hopefully it could become a little more comfortable as time	02:29:13
	goes on. It's going to be uncomfortable at first, but I really think we should work towards that. OK, I'm going to say two things	02:29:19
	and then I'm going to go to Councilmember Hernandez. So thank you for saying that, Councilmember Gama.	02:29:25
	That's one of the things I've communicated.	02:29:31
	You know, sometimes it's difficult to be on this day as and really understand we're.	02:29:33
	Everybody's coming from.	02:29:37
	So for me and Mayor Pro Tem to go over and take your voices.	02:29:39
	To a meeting. I don't think that that's something that you all should hold us responsible for.	02:29:43
	Because if there is a dialogue.	02:29:47
	Right. The dialogue that I have is not going to come from you, it's going to come from me.	02:29:50
	And that may not be where you're coming from.	02:29:54
	So that's the difficulty that I have.	02:29:57
	When, when the when the council would say, OK, you're open to have these discussions.	02:30:00
	So yes, I think it's important for us to.	02:30:05
	Have some pre meetings to discuss things. I think it's important for us as a committee.	02:30:09
	Port and city to.	02:30:16
	Discuss and agree.	02:30:20
	On the topics.	02:30:22
	I think it's important for us all to have information going into the meeting.	02:30:24
	So that we can actually have an open dialogue.	02:30:28
	And so I think that's some areas where I think that we could do better.	02:30:32
	In those meetings.	02:30:36
	That's been communicated. We're going to continue to communicate that. It's important for us to be able to understand what we're	02:30:37
	going to be talking about.	02:30:41
	So that we can have some.	02:30:44
	Informed decisions. And so we're going to continue to push that. The other thing, I just wanted to go back to the agenda item.	02:30:46
	I know the subject says strategic partnership, a joint meeting options.	02:30:52
	What the port of wine? Me.	02:30:56
	But this item says the recommendation is that the City Council consider options for City Council collaboration with strategic	02:30:58
	partners.	02:31:02
	Including.	02:31:07
	Port Hueneme Harbor District. So this is really about strategic planning.	02:31:08
	In a larger sense, it's not just about the port, but we're just talking about the port.	02:31:12
	As one because we had already had a conversation about.	02:31:17
	This collective meeting.	02:31:20
	Right. So this is just an opportunity to talk about that.	02:31:23
	So. So this item is about extended partnerships.	02:31:26
	But tonight we were just talking about.	02:31:30
	The port, so it's not just specific.	02:31:32
	To the port.	02:31:35
	Did you have something? Yeah, I did want to say that.	02:31:37
	You know my perception of what the role of the committee representatives are. I mean, there's no mistake that the mayor and the	02:31:41
	mayor Pro Tem.	02:31:45
	Are assigned to represent this council.	02:31:51
	On the Port City Committee, it's a very important.	02:31:54
	Relationship that that you're given the responsibility to help build.	02:31:58
	And we don't have.	02:32:03
	And while we might have individual thoughts and personal opinions.	02:32:05
	What you take to those meetings should be the consensus. We said you, not with our personal.	02:32:09
	Ideas of how things should be run, but we come to a consensus on those items that we want you to.	02:32:15
	Represent on our behalf.	02:32:22
	So this idea that somebody.	02:32:24
	Personal opinion isn't going to be counted or you don't get to speak for yourself.	02:32:27
	It does not relevant when you're when you're representing the entire council.	02:32:32
	And so my expectation is that.	02:32:36
	You have.	02:32:40
	Because you're mayor and mayor Pro Tem that you have the ability to synthesize what's been discussed at these meetings. These	02:32:43
	meetings are open meetings.	02:32:47
	They're public on public record.	02:32:51
	There should be no restrictions on your ability to take what you've gleaned from these meetings and share at the Port City	02:32:53
	Committee meetings.	02:32:58
	So if we need.	02:33:02
	If you feel that, Mister Gamma, that your voice is not being heard.	02:33:05
	I would like to know what it is or going to.	02:33:10
	What you think you're going to want to say at a?	02:33:12
	At a meeting that you can't say here in front of us, I would like to know how do you build consensus without having a conversation	02:33:15
	amongst the five of us, so.	02:33:20
	No, we're not.	02:33:25
	There was they, there was an agenda.	02:33:26
	They went off topic on the agenda.	02:33:30
	And So what you're saying is, is that?	02:33:33
	These are two representatives.	02:33:35
	Are with a consensus of the five and I'm telling you no because we never had a conversation in the future.	02:33:39
	Hopefully have that consensus. If we do what we has been suggesting then the other the other we stayed on hold on, we stayed on	02:33:45
	message.	02:33:48
	And I said that last meeting.	02:33:53
	I would have walked out of the meeting.	02:33:55
	Frankly because OK, but but here's here's my point.	02:33:57
	You can't.	02:34:03
	You can't have a consensus unless we have a conversation where all five of us vote. That's why we have this agenda item and we're	02:34:04
	discussing right now.	02:34:08
	The first time.	02:34:12
	OK, umm.	02:34:13
	We've got to move forward so.	02:34:14
	So how again?	02:34:16
	How do we?	02:34:20
	If an item is going to be discussed, both sides have to agree to the agenda and the item, and then both sides have to have a	02:34:22
	conversation.	02:34:26
	So on our side, we send mayor, mayor Pro Tem.	02:34:31
	On their side.	02:34:36
	They send not the president and the vice president, right? Yeah, but that doesn't matter. The contract doesn't matter. Contract	02:34:37
	doesn't state they have to send the president.	02:34:41
	It just has two commissioners.	02:34:45
	OK, well maybe these are maybe these are some of the things that we could start discussing like.	02:34:48
	How could we?	02:34:52
	Have a joint meeting that's.	02:34:55
	And relevant to the issues that.	02:34:58
	By consensus, we want to talk about.	02:35:02
	Yeah, we need to have a discussion here first on what those issues are. So, so I think we that is not the agenda item. So we won't	02:35:04
	be able to do that today. I think today what we're talking about is.	02:35:10
	Umm, the structure.	02:35:17
	Yeah, this drug, was it specifically about having the joint meeting a city manager?	02:35:19
	That that's not what is represented in the recommendation it's about.	02:35:25
	Taking the next step on the strategic partnership meeting that we've been discussing.	02:35:31
	Throughout the year.	02:35:37
	And then?	02:35:38
	As we said, we focused on the port due to the last Council meeting, all the requests from the council to talk about the port right	02:35:39
	as part of that sooner rather than later.	02:35:44
	OK, great Council.	02:35:48
	I don't think we have to be in a room to make decisions today.	02:35:50
	To to move for this item.	02:35:54
	Because it's going to take us time to even.	02:35:58
	Get the item.	02:36:01
	Get feedback from.	02:36:03
	Our partners, the port.	02:36:05
	And so we will have time. We have a lot of avenues that we can use.	02:36:07
	Considering calling a special meeting.	02:36:11
	So I don't think that we can, we need to belabor this issue.	02:36:14
	For having the conversations.	02:36:18
	At a later date.	02:36:20
	So are there any other questions?	02:36:22
	Is there a motion and a second for the agenda item?	02:36:25
	I'll move.	02:36:31
	What are we moving?	02:36:32
	That staff, that based on disease.	02:36:34
	Tonight's discussion that staff go back.	02:36:37
	Come up with a.	02:36:42
	I guess an option we have to vote on whether or not we want to do this joint meeting or exactly that's that's yeah.	02:36:44
	That's what's.	02:36:50
	On the table right now.	02:36:52
	So do we want the staff to go back and work toward establishing this?	02:36:53
	Joint meeting.	02:36:58
	With both bodies.	02:36:59
	To move forward and then we can we can do the rest. Having the discussions within ourselves. That sounded like a motion.	02:37:01
	She made a motion, yes.	02:37:07
	Second, you made the motion, is that correct?	02:37:09
	Yeah, I guess. I mean I'm not OK, so not really for doing this joint meeting, but so hold on so.	02:37:12
	Is there a motion? Do you rescind your? I'm gonna rescind it, Yeah. Is there a motion in a second?	02:37:19
	I'll make a motion to have staff.	02:37:24
	City manager pursue a joint meeting.	02:37:27
	Is there a second?	02:37:30
	2nd.	02:37:32
	All right, any further discussion?	02:37:34
	Madam Clerk, please take a roll call, please.	02:37:36
	OK, Council member Comma, Yes.	02:37:38
	Councilmember Hernandez.	02:37:41
	Councilmember Perez Yes, Mayor Pro Tem Lopez.	02:37:43
	Mayor McQueen Lejeune, Yes. Motion passes with Councilmember Hernandez and Mayor Pro Tem Lopez voting no.	02:37:47
	Great. So that is number 18.	02:37:55
	We'll move to City manager comments and reports.	02:38:00
	OK.	02:38:03
	We have a couple of items we wanted to.	02:38:09
	Highlight quickly.	02:38:12
	We celebrated our first movie in the park for the year last week on Friday the 13th.	02:38:14
	With Moana to at Wyoming Beach Park.	02:38:22
	We had a good turn out.	02:38:24
	At the beach.	02:38:27
	And we wanted to.	02:38:28
	Remind people that the next one is actually just around the corner. July 5th will be showing Top Gun at Wayne B Beach Park at	02:38:30
	8:15.	02:38:33
	And just a reminder that it's free admission and free parking and free popcorn. So hoping to see people there.	02:38:37
	We also wanted to just highlight that a couple weeks back we are.	02:38:46
	Fort Wayne Police Department led the Special Olympic torch run.	02:38:52
	It's kind of a.	02:38:56
	A cool experience. This year we went a different route than what we had done previously to go through all of.	02:38:58
	Are more of our.	02:39:05
	Residential neighborhoods and residential streets and through several schools. So that was.	02:39:07
	A highlight this year.	02:39:12
	So we wanted to.	02:39:14
	Thank everybody who participated and also a thanks to.	02:39:16
	The Oxnard PD traffic team, who also helped court, helped provide some traffic control.	02:39:20
	As we went through.	02:39:27
	The various streets and our port, we need Police Department as well.	02:39:29
	And then we are, as we announced, Wine Amy Beach Fest earlier today, we wanted to remind everybody that we are getting ready for	02:39:35
	summer at Waeneme Beach.	02:39:40
	With beach fests coming up.	02:39:45
	Less than a month away now.	02:39:48
	And then the.	02:39:49
	We also announced today that.	02:39:51
	Annual parking permits are now available.	02:39:53
	For Winning Me Beach for next year so people can come get their parking permits ahead of 4th of July weekend.	02:39:56
	Coming up.	02:40:03
	And then this event is going to occur on June 25th. It's a different one for us, so we're trying to get the word out.	02:40:05
	It's a what we're calling our Short Term Rental Community forum.	02:40:13
	If you recall, the Council approved that we do a community survey.	02:40:17
	And that we get those results and then we have a workshop after that. So we're gonna.	02:40:21
	Do that on Wednesday, June 25th at 5:30 PM.	02:40:25
	And so.	02:40:30
	We are hoping we're going to go through the survey results.	02:40:32
	And uh.	02:40:35
	Try to get additional feedback from community members and we're hoping for more input that will help us shape.	02:40:36
	The recommendations that will come back to the City Council.	02:40:42
	I think right now timing wise, we're thinking that that will come back to meetings.	02:40:45
	From now in August.	02:40:50
	And for our next meeting, which is July 21st, because we have a short.	02:40:54
	Summer break between now and that meeting.	02:40:59
	For July 21st, right now, what we have planned is we are planning to have a Housing Authority meeting.	02:41:02
	We have several presentations, the Winnemi Hero Award proclamation.	02:41:08
	The Parks and Rec Month proclamation and Mothers Against Direct Driving.	02:41:13
	Award.	02:41:18
	Presentation. Umm.	02:41:19
	We do expect to have a retirement appreciation for retiring employee at that meeting as well.	02:41:20
	And for public hearings, we have the continued Emerald Perspective hearing.	02:41:26
	That we continued to that date.	02:41:33
	And then right now for business items, we have our annual comprehensive financial report.	02:41:35
	Our definition of willed vehicles update.	02:41:41
	From that discussion earlier this year.	02:41:45
	The smoking prohibition and multi unit housing that was approved late last year, we have that ordinance.	02:41:47
	Ready for that meeting?	02:41:55
	And the nitrous oxide regulation ordinance, so.	02:41:56
	We'll be bringing those items on July 21st.	02:42:00
	And that is all I have. Thank you.	02:42:04
	Great. Thank you.	02:42:06
	We'll move to Councilmember reports and comments. Councilmember Perez.	02:42:07
	I just have one I attended the groundbreaking of the boys and Girls Club. New construction about to start on the port or any me.	02:42:14
	Are the premier.	02:42:21
	Credit Union. Premier America.	02:42:24
	Port Rainy, ME Club groundbreaking.	02:42:27
	So that was exciting and can't wait to see what that club looks like.	02:42:29
	All right, Councilmember Gama.	02:42:33
	Yes, this weekend at Winemi Beach Cleanup, I had the privilege to meet an American Avocet.	02:42:35
	And it's a bird that I've never seen on Winey Beach before.	02:42:44
	And.	02:42:47
	We we discovered a nest as well with three eggs in it.	02:42:49
	And so I communicated to the Autobahn Society and.	02:42:53
	It's it's just really neat. It's a beautiful bird. I don't know if you could see it.	02:42:58
	Yeah. And it had had these peculiar behaviors that it was doing.	02:43:05
	With its wings, I thought it was doing a dance, but.	02:43:10
	Cynthia Hartley told me that.	02:43:14
	It's cutting the glare with its wings of this, picking bugs out of the water.	02:43:16
	But anyways.	02:43:21
	We are so.	02:43:23
	Proud of the work that we've done over the last 8 1/2 years.	02:43:25
	Miami Beach is it's amazingly clean and I think we hear that from a lot of different people and.	02:43:30
	When we're out there.	02:43:36
	Walking and talking and not filling up our buckets. It's because we've been walking and talking along time and it's really paying	02:43:38
	off in the.	02:43:42
	Our coastal environment is beautiful.	02:43:47
	And.	02:43:51
	Spend more time at the beach and I think.	02:43:52
	I think making popcorn at the beach for movies is a really good idea.	02:43:55
	And we should keep doing that.	02:43:59
	With regards to the.	02:44:01
	Polluters pay.	02:44:03
	I guess.	02:44:08
	I could bring this up later, but.	02:44:09
	I'll be making a request for an agenda item.	02:44:12
	But what I think we need, we need to be.	02:44:14
	Educated on.	02:44:18
	The whole.	02:44:20
	Gamut.	02:44:22
	I from our speakers here, I hear.	02:44:24
	You know the oil and gas companies, but.	02:44:28
	If we got to drill down and understand, you know.	02:44:32
	How is it going to benefit?	02:44:36
	What? I think we have one gas station in wine.	02:44:38
	The truth Maybe 2.	02:44:41
	But anyways.	02:44:44
	So how are we going to understand?	02:44:45
	The resolution how do we work with our partners to.	02:44:50
	To benefit from it and so forth so.	02:44:53
	And and the reason why I bring it up and.	02:44:57
	I don't want at the risk of sounding negative, I'm going to go negative, but.	02:44:59
	You know when we do the dredge.	02:45:03
	It's a great thing.	02:45:06
	However.	02:45:07
	The amount of emissions from the dredge, from what I'm told, is one of the biggest.	02:45:08
	Polluting events.	02:45:13
	In our area.	02:45:15
	And so.	02:45:16
	Is this?	02:45:17
	Polluters pay. I mean, how's that?	02:45:20
	How's that gonna? Is it gonna hamper our dredging project?	02:45:22
	So anyways, I think we just need more information. So I hope that that will be forthcoming before we.	02:45:26
	We get to the point of making a resolution.	02:45:31
	And I just want to say in regards to Juneteenth.	02:45:34
	My parents moved to Paso Robles really long time ago.	02:45:39
	And my first ventures up there.	02:45:42
	We used to go to a Baptist Church.	02:45:45
	And it was.	02:45:48
	We met a lady by the name of Juanita Booker.	02:45:49
	And Juanita Booker sang the national anthem.	02:45:52
	For Ronald Reagan's first.	02:45:55
	Inauguration.	02:45:58
	And, umm.	02:45:59
	This lady.	02:46:02
	Just was so.	02:46:04
	Beautiful in.	02:46:08
	Being a woman of color in an area that isn't known for women of color.	02:46:10
	And I just feel like we've.	02:46:15
	As a country, we've come a long way.	02:46:19
	And I'm really proud to be a member of this country and a member of what?	02:46:21
	Juneteenth has become. I mean, I think it's awesome.	02:46:26
	I think about Juanita Booker all the time because she had such a beautiful voice in that.	02:46:29
	I couldn't help but think about her today.	02:46:34
	Thank you.	02:46:37
	I have no.	02:46:42
	Reports I'm attending all my meetings.	02:46:44
	Got meeting scheduled tomorrow. Legislative.	02:46:47
	Committee meeting with SKAG tomorrow. SO.	02:46:51
	That's always interesting, especially in this.	02:46:54
	Time.	02:46:56
	Things are changing quite a bit.	02:46:58
	But I will have some items for the agenda request.	02:47:01
	Future agenda items.	02:47:06
	Thank you account.	02:47:07
	Yes, so I did.	02:47:10
	Last week I did take a phone call with CPA.	02:47:12
	I am an alternate so I got to.	02:47:16
	I haven't got it to any meetings, just.	02:47:18
	I don't, Laura, you've been on them. So.	02:47:20
	I had personal questions regarding sold to the solar program.	02:47:22
	And for those who don't know, CPA is taking over October 31st.	02:47:27
	I think so.	02:47:32
	So again, it's when that transition happens.	02:47:34
	You know, I, I just, I started doing my homework and, and.	02:47:39
	Trying to make sure that if the public comes and I have, you know, I have the answers.	02:47:42
	There there is net metering for the solar roof.	02:47:48
	People who have solar panels.	02:47:51
	Net metering 3.0.	02:47:53
	Very restrictive.	02:47:56
	Where? But it's not. It's not.	02:47:57
	It's not CPA, it's SCE.	02:48:00
	Anyways, so when when you're actually.	02:48:06
	Creating energy.	02:48:09
	During the day.	02:48:11
	You're selling it at a reduced price rather than getting at the same price.	02:48:14
	When you buy when the sun goes down.	02:48:18
	And so it's it's they're incentivizing what?	02:48:21
	The rule is they want you to buy a battery.	02:48:25
	That's that's that's what they're going. That's what they're trying to do.	02:48:28
	Umm, so I was just getting all the research.	02:48:33
	Getting all the information I'm going to pass it to.	02:48:35
	I think I did pass it to you, James.	02:48:38
	All that information so that we're smarter with the CPA program. It's just not CPA. It's it's.	02:48:41
	It's the utilities.	02:48:48
	Companies that are that are doing passing these rules.	02:48:50
	And I did with Misty and Merritt.	02:48:54
	Attend the Boys and Girls Club.	02:48:58
	Groundbreaking Premier America $6 million.	02:48:59
	Project and they're going to get it done in six months.	02:49:03
	Mind blowing.	02:49:06
	How fast they're going to do that so.	02:49:07
	Looking forward to that.	02:49:10
	And that's all.	02:49:11
	Great. Thank you. Thank you.	02:49:14
	A couple of things. So yes, I did go to the Boys and Girls Club ceremonial groundbreaking. It was really a wall breaking. It was	02:49:16
	really nice.	02:49:19
	Yeah, so.	02:49:23
	I don't know if the council members have seen the hard hat and the sledgehammer.	02:49:26
	In our office.	02:49:30
	Yeah. So we were able to.	02:49:31
	Breakthrough this wall. It was really neat. So they let everybody have their hats.	02:49:33
	So it's in the office.	02:49:38
	So did that was very nice. Yes, on the spot.	02:49:39
	Premier America's Foundation.	02:49:43
	Donated $1,000,000. That was wonderful.	02:49:46
	To see that.	02:49:50
	The other thing is, so I've been participating in my meetings. I did attend the coffee with the city, which went really well.	02:49:52
	And I think our public comments said an hour, but we were really there two hours. It was really nice. There was a lot of people	02:50:00
	out.	02:50:03
	It was really nice.	02:50:07
	Did want to just remind you all that I'm going on the SCE High Sierra workshop.	02:50:09
	I'm leaving on Wednesday, I'll be back on Friday. It's at Big Creek.	02:50:16
	And it's to.	02:50:20
	The hydroelectric.	02:50:23
	Electric project.	02:50:24
	In San Joaquin River.	02:50:26
	So I'm looking forward to that. I found out today that.	02:50:28
	The executive director.	02:50:32
	Of VCC, which I'm the vice chair is also going so he kind of connected with me to dance at see you soon so.	02:50:34
	Anyway going to do that?	02:50:41
	I was at the last meeting I was at at the.	02:50:44
	Or I ran into, I can't remember his name, the director of the EDC.	02:50:46
	You mentioned your name.	02:50:52
	Bruce Stinsley, is it? Bruce Stinsley? Yeah, yeah, I met him for the first.	02:50:54
	And so we were talking and he was kind of talking about that we have a seat on the EDC that's not filled right now.	02:50:58
	And I think it's on Thursdays. I don't know what Thursdays.	02:51:04
	I'm gonna look at my schedule and see if that's something maybe I could participate in.	02:51:07
	Because it seems like it's pretty valuable.	02:51:11
	So we'll see. So I'm looking into that.	02:51:14
	And then the last thing is, yeah, I will be at Juneteenth. Matter of fact, I'll be I.	02:51:16
	Vendoring.	02:51:22
	Booth and selling my dream.	02:51:23
	And So what generally happens is they they, they announced the elected officials. So last year I was able to represent the city.	02:51:26
	I'm sure that will happen again.	02:51:31
	This year, so just want to let you all know that.	02:51:36
	And so other than that, just attending my meetings.	02:51:39
	Yeah, and getting ready, I just got an invite and it's.	02:51:44
	A couple of months away but I just got to invite to go to the annual.	02:51:47
	As the transportation conference that I went to last year.	02:51:51
	It's in November.	02:51:55
	And GCTD picks up the car.	02:51:56
	So there's no cost involved.	02:51:58
	That or.	02:52:00
	The thing that I'm doing in a couple days.	02:52:01
	All right. And so that's all that I have.	02:52:04
	Any oh by the way.	02:52:07
	No, OK, OK.	02:52:08
	So let's move on to the request for future.	02:52:09
	Agenda items.	02:52:12
	Council member Press.	02:52:14
	Going to do the agenda.	02:52:16
	Super fun.	02:52:19
	Councilmember Gama.	02:52:25
	Can we have a detailed presentation on the polluters pay and then I guess we could also.	02:52:29
	Consider a resolution at that time.	02:52:35
	But I just want to.	02:52:39
	Avoid just doing a resolution but have a full on presentation. So if we could get that on the agenda that would be great.	02:52:40
	I'll second.	02:52:49
	All in favor.	02:52:52
	Aye, all opposed.	02:52:53
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:52:55
	Yes, I have a couple of requests. 1 is.	02:53:02
	I would like to request a certificate of appreciation or a proclamation for Pastor Ken.	02:53:05
	Umm, Walters.	02:53:11
	I believe.	02:53:14
	Yeah, he's with the Church of Port Hueneme on 5th St. and he's a.	02:53:15
	Hosts the Friday Food Chair distribution and he's been doing it for a few years. They were coming up on his.	02:53:20
	Anniversary so I'd like to get.	02:53:28
	I don't know what would be better, a proclamation or a.	02:53:31
	Certificate signed by the Council. The full council.	02:53:34
	I can get more details to Georgiana.	02:53:38
	Yeah, if you send us the details, I think off the top of my head, usually proclamations for like proclaiming it.	02:53:41
	Like his day or something like that. So it sounds like maybe a certificate?	02:53:48
	That would be nice, I'll second that.	02:53:53
	Madam Clark.	02:53:57
	All in favor.	02:53:58
	Aye, all opposed.	02:53:59
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:54:00
	Very much. And then?	02:54:03
	I would like to have an agenda item.	02:54:05
	To discuss our.	02:54:08
	Our economic development strategy.	02:54:10
	And plans for?	02:54:12
	A town hall or a meeting to include other stakeholders.	02:54:17
	Umm. My thoughts are it would be nice if we could just do something.	02:54:22
	During umm.	02:54:27
	Council.	02:54:28
	Maybe do a SWOT analysis with our council and invite the audience to participate in it. But I just like to see us.	02:54:30
	Move in that area so if we could have an item to discuss.	02:54:38
	Community.	02:54:42
	The economic development plans.	02:54:45
	All right. Is there a motion?	02:54:49
	What? What's the motion?	02:54:51
	The motion is to agendaize a discussion on.	02:54:55
	Preparing an economic development.	02:54:59
	Stakeholders Meeting.	02:55:03
	I second.	02:55:04
	Madam, all in favor.	02:55:06
	Aye, all opposed.	02:55:08
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:55:10
	I'd like to have an agenda item.	02:55:15
	And I'm just not clear if this is a staff.	02:55:18
	Or this is.	02:55:22
	We need direction on what we need to move.	02:55:26
	With the port for our DC trip.	02:55:30
	I want to.	02:55:34
	If the Council.	02:55:35
	Want staff to do this or?	02:55:39
	Do we want to direct the staff?	02:55:41
	OK, so my my motion is.	02:55:44
	Future agenda item to discuss.	02:55:48
	Our DC lobbying trip.	02:55:51
	I'll second that.	02:55:53
	There's other things too.	02:56:02
	Well, this is strictly the DC trip is like.	02:56:04
	Can you elaborate?	02:56:09
	Well, don't we have about?	02:56:11
	We haven't even seen the agenda.	02:56:20
	Yeah, strictly CBF, right. Well, we don't have another council meeting before then.	02:56:22
	No, no, I know. But that's what's on the, that's what's.	02:56:28
	We haven't even.	02:56:31
	Discuss our results of the CBS. So I think we're talking a little less.	02:56:33
	Let's get back to what? Yeah, so my.	02:56:37
	OK, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So my motion, my my motion was to have an agenda for.	02:56:40
	Our DC trip items, what we want to lobby for.	02:56:47
	I already second it.	02:56:53
	OK, Madam Clerk.	02:56:54
	All in favor.	02:56:56
	Aye, all opposed.	02:56:57
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:56:59
	I have one more item.	02:57:01
	So I would like to have an agenda item for.	02:57:04
	Requesting a scholarship to Winemi High School in J ROTC.	02:57:07
	That when they.	02:57:12
	Have their end of year.	02:57:14
	Award ceremony.	02:57:16
	That we provide a $1000.	02:57:17
	Or $500 five dollars scholarship to.	02:57:20
	An individual who portrays the most community service in the.	02:57:24
	Winimi Community.	02:57:28
	Question.	02:57:31
	Do we have CBF funds already allocated?	02:57:34
	For scholarship money that we put on hold.	02:57:38
	To hold over to other years.	02:57:41
	Yeah, I think there's.	02:57:43
	$4000.	02:57:45
	Available and we.	02:57:48
	We took applications.	02:57:50
	But we haven't awarded any at this point, so that would come to council.	02:57:52
	So is that up for new potential?	02:57:56
	Scholarship East Or do they have to go to those four who already applied? No.	02:58:01
	Purely within the, well I was gonna say within councils choice, but it's a CBF so it would be council on the ports choice. Got it.	02:58:06
	OK, yeah, this would be for 2020.	02:58:10
	6.	02:58:15
	OK, so I'll second.	02:58:18
	Madam Clerk.	02:58:21
	All in favor.	02:58:22
	Aye, all opposed.	02:58:24
	Hearing none, motion passes unanimously.	02:58:26
	OK if there are no other items.	02:58:32
	Future agenda items.	02:58:35
	Going to adjourn this meeting. Our next meeting is scheduled for.	02:58:37
	Monday, July 21st.	02:58:40
	At 6:30, the time is now 926.	02:58:42
