Description
Hollister City Council Meeting November 1, 2021
A
And
I
I
I
could
not
help
but
laugh
and
chuckle,
and
I
said
of
course
this
was
way
back
in
the
early
2000s.
Probably
before
you
guys
were
born,
and
he
was
there
at
the
key
club
and
they
were
making
things
happen
in
our
community.
You
can
see
how
long
it
can
take
a
project
to
get
gut
done
and
this
dream
started
in
the
early
2000s.
I
want
to
thank
you,
mr
hart,
because
I
know
you
are
always
there
for
this
community.
A
Therefore,
I
ignacio
velasquez
mayor
of
the
city
of
hollister
proclaim
november
1st,
through
the
6th
2021
as
key
club
week
in
the
city
of
hollister,
and
call
upon
our
officials
and
all
citizens
to
support
the
members
of
this
organization
and
make
themselves
aware
of
key
club
whose
members
are
preparing
themselves
to
be
better
more
responsible
citizens
as
they
provide
service
to
our
community,
and
really,
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
guys
again,
you're
so
important
to
our
community.
Can't
say
enough:
it's
your
heart
come
on
come
on
over
here.
A
A
All
of
you
well,
thank
you
so
much.
I
just
want
to
say
how
proud
I
am
of
this
organization,
the
key
club
celebrated.
Well,
we
observed
our
30th
year
in
december.
We
weren't
able
to
celebrate
for
obvious
reasons,
but
they
have
been
doing
great
service
to
our
community
for
30
plus
years,
including
raising
thousands
of
dollars,
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
for
relay
for
life
and
unicef
and
a
number
of
charities
and
supporting
our
local
agencies
that
need
a
lot
of
labor.
A
Like
our
city,
recreation
group,
just
yesterday
at
trick-or-treat
streets
they
did
a
wonderful
job
and
actually
picking
up
that
river
walk
parkway
and
I
think
they're
going
to
be
continuing
to
do
that
in
the
future.
So
I'm
very
proud
of
them
and
they're
great
leaders
as
well.
This
club
is
completely
run
by
students.
We
just
make
sure
that
they're
staying
within
the
bounds
that
are
set
school
policy
and
regulations,
but
they
are
the
leaders
that
run
key
club
and
I
couldn't
be
prouder
of
them.
A
Just
go
up
and
smile
and
say
who
you
are
hi,
I'm
morgan,
I
am
the
president
of
san
diego
key
club.
I
just
want
to
say
that
it's
an
honor
to
be
here
and
thank
you,
mayor
velasquez,
for
giving
this
proclamation
to
for
key
club
week.
Key
club
has
been
an
organization
that
has
truly
changed
my
life
I'd
say
and
my
high
school
experience.
I
just
want
to
thank
mr
hart
and
all
the
members
and,
of
course
my
supporters
are
here.
Thank
you
guys,
yeah
and
thank
you
again,
mayor
velasquez.
A
A
A
I
would
just
ask
if
the
city
clerk
or
the
city
manager,
city
attorney
one
of
the
three
just
maybe
review
the
resolution
and
and
speak
to
it
so
that
we're
clear
I
I
think
we
as
council
are
clear,
but
I
would
like
for
the
community
to
also
be
aware,
and
particularly
those
that
may
be
viewing
or
have
questions
later
and
so
I'll
defer
to
the
city
clerk.
I
believe.
Thank
you,
sir.
A
A
A
Under
the
orders,
the
local
agencies
were
still
required
to
provide
advanced
notice
of
each
public
meeting
according
to
the
time
frame
otherwise
prescribed
by
the
brown
act
and
using
the
means
otherwise
prescribed
by
the
brown
act.
Agencies
were
for
a
time
required
to
allow
members
of
the
public
to
observe
and
address
the
meeting,
telephonically
or
otherwise.
Electronically,
local
agencies
were
eventually
explicitly
freed
from
the
obligation
of
providing
a
physical
location
from
which
members
of
the
public
could
observe
the
meeting
and
offer
public
comment
that
order
was
lifted
by
another
executive
order.
A
After
that
date,
local
agencies
were
required
to
observe
all
the
usual
brown
act
requirement
status
quo
as
they
existed
prior
to
the
issuance
of
the
orders.
Local
agencies
must
once
again
ensure
that
the
public
is
provided
with
access
to
a
physical
location
from
which
they
may
observe
a
public
meeting
and
offer
public
comment.
A
A
A
After
discussions
between
the
csda,
the
governor's
office
and
stakeholders
on
how
to
best
assist
local
agencies
to
conduct
meetings
in
an
open
and
public
manner,
the
governor's
office
modified
its
approach
and
issued
a
revised
order
on
september
20th
suspending
the
provisions
of
ab361
and
providing
for
a
clear
transition
until
september
30th
local
agencies
should
look
to
the
revised
order.
N1521
we're
past
that
now
the
revised
order
makes
clear
that
until
september,
30th
local
agencies
may
conduct
open
and
public
meetings.
A
Ab361
provides
flexibility
for
remote,
open
meetings
during
a
proclaimed
state
of
emergency,
an
important
note
on
ab361.
The
provisions
can
only
be
used
in
the
event
that
a
gubernatorial
state
of
emergency
one
has
been
issued
and
two
remains
active.
It
is
not
sufficient
that
county
and
or
city
officials
have
issued
a
local
emergency
declaration.
A
The
emergency
declaration
must
be
one
that
is
made
pursuant
to
the
california
emergency
services
act.
The
provisions
enacted
by
ab36
ab361,
providing
flexibility
to
meet
remotely
during
a
proclaimed
emergency
will
sunset
on
january.
First,
twenty
twenty
four.
This
is
subject
to
change.
If
a
future
legislature
and
governor
elect
to
extend
the
sunset
or
make
the
provisions
permanent.
A
Another
important
note
is
local
agencies
must
still
provide
advanced
notice
of
public
meetings
and
must
still
post
meeting
agendas
consistent
with
the
provisions
of
the
brown
act.
Ab361
does
nothing
to
change
the
fact
that
meetings
must
still
be
noticed
and
agendized
in
advance
no
requirement
to
have
a
quorum
of
board
members
participate
from
within
the
territorial
bounds
of
the
local
agency's
jurisdiction.
A
Local
agencies
must
clearly
advertise
the
means
by
which
members
of
the
public
can
observe
a
public
meeting
or
other
or
offer
comment
during
a
meeting
remotely
via
either
a
calling
or
internet-based
option
agencies
whose
meetings
are
interrupted.
Oh,
I
just
said
that
we
must
resolve
any
technological
disruptions
before
taking
any
actions.
A
A
If
the
council
so
chooses
to
pass
this
resolution
tonight
by
a
majority
vote,
that
meeting
in
person
during
the
state
of
emergency
would
represent
imminent
risks
to
the
health
or
safety
of
attendees.
The
resolution
would
permit
meeting
under
the
provisions
of
ab361
for
a
maximum
period
of
30
days
after
30
days.
The
local
agency
would
need
to
renew
its
resolution
consistent
with
the
requirements
of
ab361.
A
If
the
agency
seeks
to
meet
remotely
again
under
the
modified
brown
act
requirements,
it
must
pass
a
new
initial
resolution
affecting
the
transition
to
the
modified
brain
act
requirement,
subject
to
the
same
substantive
and
procedural
requirements
as
before.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Any
questions,
sir
mayor
velasquez,
please
I
I
would
simply
like
to
thank
the
city
clerk
for
explaining
that
and
and
clarifying
any
questions
that
I
would
have
had.
So.
A
A
A
This
is
the
time
for
anyone
in
the
audience
to
speak
on
any
item
not
on
the
agenda
and
within
the
subject
matter:
jurisdiction
of
the
council.
Speaker
cards
are
available
in
the
lobby
and
are
to
be
completed
and
given
to
the
city
clerk.
Before
speaking
when
the
city
clerk
calls
your
name,
please
come
to
the
podium
state,
your
name
and
city
for
the
record
and
speak
to
the
city
council.
A
A
A
A
The
construction
of
possibly
11
triplexes
with
connection
to
sewer
mr
intravia's
parcel
is
across
the
street
from
this
one
would
connect
to
the
same
sewell
line
that
lies
in
the
frontage
of
this
parcel
in
hillcrest
road.
The
subject
parcel
is
in
the
sphere
of
influence
in
1990.
Was
pre-zoned
by
the
city
agreed
to
annexation,
dedicated
the
future
widening
of
hillcrest
road
and
meridian
avenue
and
entered
into
a
recorded
deferred
improvement
agreement?
A
We
request
that
you
ask
development
services
to
provide
what
conditions
are
necessary
for
the
issuance
of
a
sewer
availability
letter
or
the
conditions
to
actually
request
an
and
effect
sewer
connection.
The
second
item
relates
to
the
rizzotti
subdivision.
The
tentative
map
was
approved
last
thursday
evening.
We
have
two
issues
on
that.
One.
A
In
that
same
sewer
study
in
2010,
it
was
shown
that
east
of
the
rosati
development
back
up
along
santa
ana
road
across
fairview
and
down
south
towards
hillcrest
road
there's
about
a
couple
of
hundred
acres
of
parcels
in
the
sphere
of
influence.
In
2018,
we
submitted
a
sewer
feasibility
study
to
the
city
engineers
for
our
pre-zoned
acreage.
A
A
This
is
going
pre-coveted
we're
going
over
the
airport
budget.
It
came
to
my
information
there
that
the
airport
was
operating
a
pretty
substantial
negative
loss
and
I
wasn't
sure
why
so
I
started
asking
questions
and
your
apartment
manager
explained
to
me:
there
had
been
a
lawsuit
and
that
the
there
was
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
attorney
fees
and
but
it
was
going
to
be
reimbursed
to
the
airport,
and
I
said
so.
A
I
jumped
to
the
conclusion
silly
me
that
that
must
mean
we're
the
prevailing
party,
so
some
months
go
by
and
and
checking
on
this
and
this
session
comes
up
again
and
I'm
asking
about
you
know
when's.
This
reimbursement's
gonna
occur
and
I'm
told,
while
I
said
we
were
the
preventing
party,
correct
notes.
Well
there.
No,
there
really
wasn't
a
prevailing
party
further
discussion,
no
the
airport
lost
the
lawsuit.
A
A
A
A
You
know
working
hard,
paying
their
rent
and
expecting
good
things
to
happen
out
there
at
the
airport.
So
I
know
that
before
long
you
guys
are
going
to
be
looking
at
the
possibilities
for
new
airport
managers.
I
just
would
like
to
know
if
you
could
consider
allowing
the
airport
commission
to
get
involved
with
that
to
somewhat
it's
a
very
unique
business.
A
A
I
have
no
more
speakers,
mr
mayor,
thank
you
we'll
now
go
to
item
d1
city
manager's
report.
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
I
just
kind
of
on
that
last
note.
The
airport
manager's
position
has
been
posted,
we're
just
waiting
for
the
for
it
to
close
and
then
we'll
start
going
through
the
interview
process,
but
I
will
definitely
consider
talking
to
the
airport
commission.
A
Yeah,
the
chief
had
something:
yes,
thank
you,
your
honor.
First
of
all,
I
apologize
for
my
tardiness
today
to
everyone
did
have
a
training
to
report
a
couple
weeks
ago.
I
missed
the
the
meeting
here
because
I
was
at
strategic
and
succession
planning
training
put
on
by
the
california
police
chiefs
association.
A
It
was
a
one
day
course
in
pasadena,
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
talking
and
reporting
to
the
council
later
on.
Our
plan
is
to
provide
a
succession
plan
and
a
strategic
plan
for
the
police
department
so
that
the
council
can
participate
in
that
it's
a
long
process.
It's
going
to
involve
counsel
the
public
staff
to
have
input
into
what
our
police
department
should
be
looking
into
look
towards
in
the
next
three
to
five
years
and
succession
planning
is
how
we're
going
to
get
there
with
the
staff
that
we
have.
A
A
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
my
name
is
amber
cameron,
I'm
an
associate
planner
with
the
planning
department.
Tonight,
the
planning
department
is
asking
that
the
city
council
consider
amending
modifying
and
revising
the
existing
contract
between
the
city
of
hollister
and
place
works
inc
for
the
general
plan.
Update
and
environmental
review
that
was
entered
into
a
pawn
on
february,
2nd
2020
to
include
the
scope
and
services
and
cost
and
schedule
to
be
conducted
by
place.
A
Works
in
corporation
with
goldfarb
and
litman
llc
authorizing
the
city
manager
to
execute
an
amendment
to
the
professional
services
agreement
and
authorizing
the
city
to
receive
grant
funding
for
sb2
and
improving
a
supplemental
appropriation
in
the
amount
of
64
thousand
dollars
from
the
general
fund.
On
february,
2nd
2020,
the
city
council
approved
resolution
2020-17.
A
Accepting
the
proposals
received
for
the
city
of
hollister's
2040
general
plan
update
and
awarded
the
contract
to
place
works
inc
for
the
preparation
of
the
general
plan,
update
and
environmental
review
staffers
requesting
that
the
city
council
consider
amending
the
existing
contract
between
the
city
of
hollister
and
place
works
for
the
general
plan.
Update
and
environmental
review
to
include
the
development
of
an
inclusionary
housing
program.
A
A
Approximately
fifty
four
thousand
dollars
of
the
grant
funding
has
been
allocated
to
create
an
inclusionary
housing
ordinance
for
the
city
of
hollister
staff
is
requesting
that
the
city
council
authorize
an
additional
10
thousand
dollars
beyond
the
54
000
of
grant
money
for
a
total
of
sixty
four
thousand
dollars
to
cover.
The
cost
proposed
by
place
works
with
an
additional
ten
percent.
A
It
is
also
possible
that
the
remaining
100
and
800
thousand
dollars
of
the
sb2
grant
funding,
while
currently
allocated
to
additional
approved
projects
such
as
pre-approved
adu,
architectural
drawings
and
zoning
amendments,
updating
the
city
hall,
there's
a
website
to
have
capabilities
and
more
clarity
for
users.
When
it
comes
to
planning
items,
this
may
be
able
to
cover
the
additional
ten
thousand.
A
This
resolution
would
approve
the
contract,
amendment
and
scope
of
work,
cost
and
schedule
approve
a
supplemental
appropriation
of
sixty-four
thousand
dollars
again
54
000
of
it
would
be
reimbursed
through
the
grant.
The
additional
10
000
would
be
through
the
general
fund,
and
it
would
also
authorize
the
city
manager
to
authorize
changes
to
the
scope
of
work
to
be
reimbursable,
not
to
exceed
64
000.
A
A
A
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members,
this
next
item
is
a
resolution
requesting
the
approval
of
the
upper
patient
of
17
696
dollars
from
the
general
fund
to
prepare
a
streetlight
analysis
and
design
for
sixth
street
between
monterey
street
and
west
street.
As
the
council
may
know,
right
now,
there
is
currently
no
street
lights
between
monterey
and
west,
the
only
street
lights
that
are
present
out
at
the
south
corner
of
monterey
and
the
south
corner
of
west.
A
This
will
allow
us
to
do
an
analysis
to
identify
what
needs
to
be
done
as
far
as
the
type
of
street
lights.
In
this
case,
as
the
council
may
remember,
we
were
directed
to
proceed
look
into
solar
to
see
if
this
is
something
that
could
actually
be
done,
and
therefore
we
have
this
before
you
for
approval.
A
I
do
have
a
quick
question:
did
that
price?
Is
that
including
the
street
lights?
Or
is
this
just
for
the
analysis?
That's
just
for
the
analysis
and
the
design
as
well,
and
I
I
did
read
a
comment
that
was
important
in
there
talked
about
the
potential
glare
issue.
One
of
the
reasons
for
doing
it
have
we
had
a
chance
to
ask
all
the
neighbors
on
that
block
if
they're
all
right
with
this.
Is
that
something
we've
done
at
all?
A
Not
that
I'm
aware,
I
think
it
might
be
important
because
I
think
some
people
before
we
get
ahead
of
ourselves.
I
think
it's
important
to
get
the
street
lights
up,
but
it
might
be
important
to
have
that
conversation
with
some
of
the
neighbors
counselor
persia.
Have
you
had
that
guy
yeah?
So
I
was
so
I've.
I've
spoken
to
one
two,
three
from
seven
of
the
houses
on
that
street.
I'm
not
sure
how
many
houses
there,
but
I
think
I'm
probably
like
a
40.
A
So
so,
and
it's
a
safety
factor,
it's
it's
a
good
thing,
but
if
yeah,
if
we
could
do
something
to
reach
out
to
them
just
to
get
their
input,
whether
I'm
sure
they're
going
to
go
for
it
but
that'd
be
great,
sounds
good.
Counselor
burns.
Did
you
have
a
question?
I
do
mayor
so
mayor.
I've
heard
what
you
said.
I
and
I
agree
with
what
you
and
councilmember
perez
have
suggested,
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
can
approve
the
request
this
evening
with
the
contingency
that
they
at
least
reach
out
to
x
percentage.
A
I
don't
know
whether
75
80
percent.
You
know
we
prefer
100,
of
course,
but
that
way
they
can
move
forward,
and
I
would
also
presume
that,
as
part
of
the
analysis,
they
could
do
a
consideration
to
shield
or
hood
some
of
the
lights
to
reflect
or
to
deflect
it
from
hitting
certain
areas
as
well.
I
would
assume
that
would
just
be
part
of
the
overall
study
with
it
correct.
Yes,
okay,
thanks!
Thank
you
mayor.
Those
are
my
thoughts
and
comments.
Thank
you.
Actually,
I
do
have
a
couple
other
questions.
A
So
during
this
serve
this
analysis.
What
does
that
look?
Like
I
mean?
What
do
you
I
mean?
Is
this
going
to
be
able
to
be
used
like
on
other
streets
that
are
similar
or
is
every
street
different?
This
is
specifically
for
that
specific
street
based
on
the
canopy
cover
all
the
mature
trees
that
are
out
there
is
going
to
be
different
for
different
streets,
so
this
is
specifically
for
sixth
street
okay.
A
Thank
you
just
one
more
question
that-
and
we
found
this
because
you
there
was
concern
because
of
the
not
enough
light
for
the
solar
first
off
and
the
canopy
of
the
trees
blocking
the
the
light
correct,
and
there
is
a
lot
more
that
goes
into
it.
It's
not
just
the
placement
of
the
solar.
It's
also
making
sure
that
there's
no
conflict
with
other
utilities,
water
lines,
sewer
lines
so
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
it
same
thing
with
the
foundation
of
the
street
lights.
A
Sir.
Thank
you
mayor.
I'm
also
wondering
if
there
would
be
an
opportunity
here
to
consider
maybe
some
sort
of
cameras
in
that
area.
I
don't
know
how
challenged
the
area
is
in
crime,
but
I
know
we're
always
looking
for
opportunities
and,
if
we're
going
to
do
a
study
for
this,
if
we
didn't
maybe
do
a
joint
study
to
at
least
look
at
that
issue
as
well,
don't
we
have
cameras
in
dun
park
also,
yes,
we
do
have
cameras
at
dun
park.
A
We
could
expand
those,
but
as
far
as
this
roadway
there's
no
cameras
there
and
we
would
have
to
look
into
where
they
would
connect.
If
there's
a,
there
might
not
be
a
clear
signal
for
the
wireless
cameras
that
we've
been
installing.
Obviously
the
the
wired
cameras
are
very,
very
expensive.
They
have
conduit
there,
but
we
can
look
into
it
to
see
if
there's
a
feasibility
to
connect
cameras
to
and
point
them
towards
dun
park
where
we
already
have
a
network
there.
A
A
Those
solar
lights
also
have
options
that
they
have
centers
on
them
and
they
will
shut
off
if
there
is
no
motion
in
the
area
and
there
it
covers
a
pretty
wide
area
so
correct.
If
a
car
starts
coming
down
the
block
halfway
down
the
block,
it'll
turn
itself
on.
So
there's
a
lot
of
good
things
can
happen
with
these
types
of
lights,
excellent
and
all
street
lights.
Now
it's
all
the
new
technologies,
but
I
agree
with
mr
burns.
A
His
comment
about
working
through
this
and
having
a
condition
of
I
I
think
80
percent-
is
a
very
good
idea,
very
fair,
no
matter.
If
I
can,
I
mean
we
will
get
a
100
percent
of
the
notices
out
to
the
public,
but
the
you
know
we
don't
never
know
what
the
response
is
going
to
be.
Yes,
so
I
think
moore
would
ask
for
the
number
no
percentage
of
response
correct
yeah.
Do
we
have
any
speaker
cards
on
this?
A
A
Yes,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
resolution
number
2021-204
with
the
changes
proposed
of
the
eighty
percent,
eighty
percent
right
and
try
to
get
eighty
percent,
but
as
city
manager
point
out
probably
right.
Well,
I
I
would
like
to
see
a
hundred
percent
noticing
yeah
we'll
do
100
noticing
it's
getting.
The
response
back
is
the
hard
part
yeah
and
and
frankly,
if
council
member
perez-
and
I
need
to
walk
the
neighborhood,
we
could
certainly
do
that
too.
A
I
I'd
be
more
than
willing
to
volunteer
as
well
as
we
can
to
just
I'm
not
going
to
suggest
we
sell
it,
but
I
think
people
oftentimes
they'll,
read
something
and
immediately
their
thought
is
well.
There
goes
my
tax
base
again,
I'm
going
to
be
paying
more,
but
you
know
I
don't
know
that.
That's
in
fact
true,
so
yeah,
okay,
you
want
like
75
percent
yeah.
I
think
75
is
good,
that
that's
fine
with
me
and
that's
75
of
the
response.
A
A
I
was
looking
at
of
the
100
percent
that
we
get
the
notices
out
to
we
would
want
so
so,
let's
say:
there's
10
out.
Well,
sorry,
let's
say
10.,
so
we
need
stoning,
7.5
of
the
residents
to
respond
to
us,
so
that
would
make
like
eight
in
that
situation.
Okay,
correct!
All
right,
okay,
we're
clear
on
that.
So
no!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
A
No!
No!
I'm
confused!
Well,
mr
burns!
It
was
your
emotion,
I'm
not
sure
we
have
consensus
either.
So,
if
I
can
so,
I
understand
what
you
guys
are
trying
to
do
and
accomplish
right,
but
I
don't.
I
think
that
we
have
a
responsibility
to
notify
a
hundred
percent.
Yes,
absolutely,
but
we
can't
control
the
response.
I
think
we're
doing
a
little
bit
we're
overreaching
a
bit
here.
In
my
opinion,
I
think
that
we
have
obligation
yes
to
notify
everybody,
and
even
that
is
not
required.
A
If
I'm
not
mistaken
right,
but
to
require
7.5,
which
means
eight
houses.
I
think
we're
doing
a
bit
much.
I
would
just
say
that
we
know
to
500,
and
then
I
mean
I
don't
know.
Typically,
what
do
you
guys
get
in
response
as
far
as
percentage?
Is
that
even
something
you
look
at
it
all
depends?
I
mean
there's
times
where
we
do
300
foot
notices
for
projects.
I
mean
we
get
30
response,
40
50.,
there's
times
where
we
get
almost
80,
I
never
seen
100,
so
it
just
all
depends.
A
Yeah,
I
think
I
think
we're
are
we
looking
at
the
touch
we're
being
a
bit
ambitious
here
in
my
opinion,
or
we
can
look
at
the
218
process,
we
get
more
than
50.
That
say
no,
I
don't
want
them,
then
we
don't
move
forward.
I
like
that
one
okay,
I
might
go
with
that
idea
too.
So
somebody
wants
to
amend
the
amended
amend
amendment.
A
True.
Did
we
ask
for
public
comment?
First
before
we
we
did
and
the
only
reason
I
brought
this
up
is
because
some
people
can
be
pretty
passionate
about
dark
skies,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
very
clear:
no.
They
live
on
7th
street.
So,
mr
burns,
do
you
want
to
amend
your
motion?
Yes,
I'd
love
to
mayor,
so
I'd
like
to
amend
my
previous
motion
for
resolution
2021-204
to
include
that
we
at
least
get
a
75
percent.
A
A
Hi,
mr
mayor
council
members,
I
am
charlie
bedola.
Your
acting
fire
chief
resolution
number
2021-205
is
a
resolution
of
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
hollister
to
allow
the
hollister
fire
department
to
apply
for
the
fiscal
year.
22
bay
area,
federal
urban
areas,
security
initiative,
uwassi
grant
south
bay
hub
operations
for
the
fire.
A
This
item
would
allow
the
hollister
fire
department
to
apply
for
the
fiscal
year,
2022
barrier
bay
area,
uwassi,
grant
south
bay
hub
operational
area
for
satellite
phones,
communications
equipment
and
firefighter
ballistic
helmets
impact
protection
and
for
hostile
hostile
events
and
the
active
shooter
staff
recommends
that
the
city
council
adopt
a
resolution
authorizing
the
hollister
fire
department
to
apply
for
the
fiscal
year,
2022
barrie
uwassi
grant
for
the
satellite
phones
and
the
ballistic
helmets.
Thank
you,
sir.
Any
questions
from
council
mayor.
Thank
you.
Chief,
what's
plan
b
in
the
event
we're
not
awarded
this.
A
That
seems
like
essential
equipment
that,
frankly,
we
should
have
regardless
it
is.
It
is
essential
equipment,
but
we
were
kind
of
hit.
The
new
trend
which
has
been
ongoing
ongoing,
is
to
get
this
equipment
towards
the
fire
department
and
the
communication.
So
we've
been
working
towards
the
so
our
first
attempt
is
to
go
ahead
and
get
this
through
the
grant.
If
not,
then
we're
going
to
have
to
bring
it
to
our
budget.
A
Again,
I
I
I
just
don't
want
to
see
us
playing
catch-up
when
we
don't
have
to
and
when
you're
talking
life
safety
to
me,
that's
a
critical
incident
yeah
right
now
we
can
make
some
movement
and
some
monies
to
go
ahead
and
purchase
it.
But
we
didn't
budget
for
this.
So
this
was
something
that
we
were
going
out
there
and
the
need
is
coming
in
because
it's
hitting
close
to
home.
The
active
shooter
has
a
in
gilroy,
so
we
did
provide
vests
already
to
our
all
our
department
personnel.
A
But
now
we
just
need
the
helmets
to
protect
us
and
you
got
to
remember
we're
not
going
in
there
into
a
hot
zone,
but
we
need
to
be
able
to
provide
the
equipment
because
an
officer
is
usually
leading
us
in
there
to
grab
to
snatch
and
grab
victims
and
to
pull
them
out.
So
even
the
bare
bones
minimum
would
be
a
fire
helmet
with
the
vests
to
protect
the
essential
parts
of
the
body
of
the
head
actually
and
and
the
the
the
the
critical
organs
right
there.
So
right
now,
there's
nothing
budgeted.
A
A
It's
like
between
13
to
20
thousand
dollars,
but
what
we
applied
for
was.
We
were
looking
for
45
helmets
and
it's
like
a
regional
area,
so
45
helmets
is
more
than
what
we
need,
but
we
we'd
we'd
apply
at
least
three
to
four
on
each
fire
engine
and
the
chiefs
on
there.
But
if
we
become
successful
with
this
full
grant,
we'd
be
able
to
give
some
work
with
cal
fire
in
the
fairview
station
and
a
romance
tri
county
fire
protection
district.
A
So
it's
a
slidable
grant
a
slideable
scale,
so
we'll
have
to
see
what
they
give
us
from
there.
If
we
we
do
become
successful
on
it.
Thank
you
chief.
Go
ahead,
sir.
Yes,
sir.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I
apologize.
If
I
missed
this
and
the
they
report-
and
I
probably
should
ask
this
ahead
of
time,
is
there
a
matching
funds
requirement
for
this
grant
there
isn't
on
this
one?
A
A
A
A
A
Actually
matter,
usually
with
grant
funds,
they
will
re
reimbursement,
reimburse
you
after
you've,
after
it's
been
awarded,
they'll
reimburse
you
for
that
purchase.
They
won't
do
it
beforehand.
Now
we,
it
doesn't
say
we
can't
buy
minimum
separately,
but
I
I
wouldn't
buy
it
to
be
reimbursed
until
you've
been
approved.
The
award
has
been
approved.
A
A
But
what
I
don't
want
to
do
is
have
to
wait
for
the
equipment,
and
so
maybe
we
only
buy
enough
to
put
on
the
the
rigs
that
the
chief
has
suggested,
and
maybe
we
buy
less-
I
I
don't
know
but
again
and-
and
I
believe
we
should
be
getting
words
not
too
far
off
so
as
soon
as
we
do
get
the
word,
then
we
should
be
able
to
purchase
them
and
then
get
that
too.
So
it
it's
a
little
farther.
A
The
process
has
already
started
because
they
told
us
to
get
in
and
prepare
for
it.
So
yeah
and
I'd
be
concerned
that
we
mean
we
can
bring
a
separate
item
on
the
next
council
meeting,
because
if
this
is
that
important,
but
if
I
checked
with
jason,
it
kind
of
seems
separate
we're
talking
about
a
grant,
and
so
that's
that
absolutely
works
for
me,
assuming
we
can
get
it
on
ar.
Are
we
talking?
We
have
a
a
special
meeting
coming
up.
I
mean
he
can
probably
basically
copy
this
and
get
it
on
there.
A
Okay,
that
would
be
great
if
we
could
do
that.
I
just
don't
want
to
risk
somebody
getting
hurt
unnecessarily
right,
yeah.
Absolutely
if
I
could
interject
real
quick.
I
apologize
the
san
benito
county,
sheriff's
deputies
did
issue
us
their
surplus
equipment
that
they
did
get.
So
we
do
have
some
ballistic
helmets
right
now.
We
do
have
their
old
ones
because
they
did
purchase
some
new
ones
with
that,
so
we
do
have
some
helmets
that
are
in
the
process
of
we
need
to
get
those
on
the
engines.
A
So
so
do
they
are,
you
know
like
hard
hats
are,
or
they
have
a
use
by
date
they
have
a
wear
date.
Hopefully
these
helmets
have
a
long
life
still
because
the
helmet's
great,
as
long
as
it
does
what
it's
intended
to
now
chief
renose,
would
probably
know
a
little
bit
more
than
that.
I
believe
the
dignity
as
long
as
it's
not
hit
well.
No,
I
think
I
think
councilman
burns
is
right
now
they're,
making
a
certain
lifespan
kind
of
like
the
ballistic
vest.
A
A
It's
just
that
they're
not
warranty
and
they
recommend
replacement
after
a
certain
time,
but
you
would
have
to
look
at
the
specific
helmet
and
what
they
are
warranting
that
that
item
for,
if
I
could
just
maybe
recommend
gathering
that
information
so
in
the
future
meeting
we
could
discuss
that
there
and
have
that
and
make
that
decision
at
that
point.
So
we
don't
confuse
this
item
yeah,
as
was
recommended
council
or
vice
mayor
recently.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
A
So
my
concern
is
this:
that,
if
we're
planning
on
purchasing
anyway,
we
might
like
disqualify
ourselves
from
even
being
able
to
apply
for
the
grant.
I
think
we
need
to
separate
the
two,
let's
just
in
my
opinion.
If
we
can
approve
this
and
then
we
can
direct
staff
to
come
back
to
report
to
us,
I
don't
think
there's
any
need
for
us
to
waste
time
and
energy
from
the
staff
perspective
to
present
or
get
an
item
together.
So
I
think
we
just
need
to
either
address
this
issue.
A
I
could
report
back
to
you.
The
next
that'd
be
very
helpful,
yeah
or
through
email
to
a
report
where
the
what
the
life
span
of
the
ballistic
helmets
we
have
on
on
that
certainly
works
for
me.
So
with
that
I'll
move
to
approve
the
resolution
is
written,
okay,
there's
a
motion.
A
second
motion
is
second
all
in
favor
aye.
Yes,
yes,
all
right!
4-0!
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
We'll
move
to
item
f4
f4,
mr
mayor
and
council.
Thank
you
again.

A
A
A
A
A
A
A
Good
evening,
mayor
city
council,
before
you
tonight
is
a
resolution
where
we're
requesting
your
approval
for
the
first
amendment
for
the
2021
memorandum
of
understanding
between
the
county
of
san
benito,
the
city
of
hollister
and
the
city
of
san
juan
batista
for
the
middle
of
an
application
and
operations
of
a
cdbg
cv,
2-3
public
service
and
public
safety
public
facility,
I'm
sorry's
program
to
be
funded,
I
believe
enrique
areola
should
be
connected
from
the
county.
He's
the
deputy
director.
A
A
No
speakers,
mr
mayor?
Is
there
a
motion
so
moved?
There's
a
motion
is
there.
A
second
second
motion
is,
second,
all
in
favor
aye.
Yes,
all
right,
yes,
motion
carries
for
oh
well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay.
This
resolution
we're
secretly
f7.
Oh
yes,
sorry
want
to
get
it
over
with
so
we're
seeking
your
approval
for
authorizing
and
directing
the
city
manager
to
execute
a
lease
agreement
for
an
office
space
at
357
and
361
5th
street.
A
It's
the
building,
located
right
next
door
to
us
and
we're
currently
in
the
need
for
space
for
the
human
resources
department
and
payroll,
so
the
building
is
centrally
located
and
it
would
also
be
a
good
location
for
employees
to
be
able
to
access
and
also
for
the
city's
fiber
network.
You
guys
have
any
questions.
Okay,
any
questions
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
A
I
I
I
can't
see
why
not.
We
would
probably
have
to
figure
out
how
to
maybe
accommodate
a
little
bit,
usually
with
hr
stuff.
We
try
to
keep
that
very
private
and
and
or
if
staff
comes
in,
for
whatever
meetings
that
they're
having
that
it
has
to
be
so
that
the
council
member
couldn't
hear
hear
that
area,
but
I'm
sure
we
could
try
to
figure
out
how
to
accommodate
that.
Thank
you
that's
my
question.
Thanks
sir,
does
this
mean
you
don't
like
the
table?
They
set
it
up
for
us
outside.
A
I'm
going
to
reserve
a
comment
on
that
vice
mayor
said
this.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Is
there
a
current
tenant
in
that
building?
I
thought
there
was
do
you
know
it's
vacant?
No!
It's
vacant!
Now!
Okay,
just
so
everybody
knows
it's
the
building
white
building
right
next
to
us,
yeah
yeah.
I
know
they
had
the
martial
arts
or
something
in
there
correct
yeah.
They
thought
it
was
so
functioning
they're
across
the
alley
now
and
then
just
daisy.
You
you've
helped
me
out
with
this
before.
A
If
we
ever
need
a
space
like
if
we
want
to
reserve
this
area
or
the
conference
room,
we
can
do
that
through
you
right
to
meet
with
constituents
and
stuff.
So
yeah,
that's
available
to
us
too
yeah
christine
as
well.
Sorry
yeah.
I
think
I've
reserved
it
through
her
before
so
yeah.
So
that's
always
an
option
too.
If
we
ever
need
a
space
to
meet
with
constituents,
we
have
that
ability
here
at
city
hall
too,
which
is
nice,
you
can
have
town
halls
and
whatnot
so
just
putting
it
out
there
thanks
daisy.
A
Speaker
cards,
no
speakers
tonight.
Okay,
is
there
a
motion
so
moved?
There's
a
motion:
is
there
a
second
second
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor
aye?
Yes,
yes,
motion
carries
4-0
staff.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
We'll
move
now
to
item
g1
reports
from
city
council
members
regarding
their
committees,
mr
burns.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
have
nothing
to
report.
Mr
mercendez,
thank
you
mayor.
We
attended
cog
and
you
might
have
to
cover
that
item,
mr
mayor,
because
I
I
think
it
was
business
as
usual.
A
We
we
approved
well
I'll.
Let
you
talk
about
it.
If
you
remember,
I
don't
know
cog
and
then
lafco
lafco
was
very
interesting.
We
had
a
joint
meeting
between
the
county.
The
two
cities
was
really
good.
I
really
enjoyed
that.
I
hope
that
we
can
have
more
meetings
like
that.
It
was
very
informative
and,
of
course,
we
talked
all
about
planning.
A
That's
conclusive
report.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
perez.
I
also
just
wanted
to
comment
on
the
live
comedian
that
the
county
hosted.
I
thought
it
was
very
informative
and
it's
a
good
thing
to
it's
a
good
way
for
our
city
and
county,
our
cities
and
counties.
To
start
working
closer
together,
that's
right!
A
Thank
you.
As
far
as
the
going
back
to
my
meetings,
cog,
it's
just
standard
making
sure
we're
following
through
highway,
25
156
coming
along
and
there
was
a
new
item
we
added
last
year.
We
did
a
rail
study
and
I've
asked
the
director
to
follow
up
on
a
proposed
train
service
that
is
being
offered
now
and
from
watsonville
to
santa
cruz
and
the
interesting
thing
about
it
and
the
problem
we've
had
here
is
to
bring
rail
service.
A
Here
we
would
have
to
electrify
the
lines
as
caltrans
is
moving
towards
that
which
is
extremely
expensive
and
the
the
cost
of
estimated
costs
for
over
100
million
dollars.
But
this
train
service
is
actually
an
electric,
a
battery
powered
train
that
can
seat
up
to
50
people,
so
they're
making
contact
with
the
manufacturer
right
now
see
we
can
get
more
information,
see
if
that's
something
that
could
work
here.
I
know
the
rail
line
was
improved
recently,
but
we're
we're
going
to
try
to
find
out,
and
if
that
is
something
that's
possible,
that
could
speed.
B
Is
going
to
item
g2
informational
reports
from
council
councilmember
burns?
Thank
you
mayor.
I
would
like
to
know
not
necessarily
this
evening
what
the
status
is
on
the
playgrounds
on
at
clower
park.
I
see
that
they're
fenced
off
and
have
been
for
a
while.
Now
at
least
I
want
to
thank
the
city
attorney.
B
Rarely
do
we
have
a
problem
with
that,
but
just
I'd
rather
have
the
language
and
have
a
clear
understanding
in
the
event,
rather
than
try
and
figure
it
out
after
the
fact.
So
I
would
ask
that
maybe
we'd
do
something
in
regards
to
that
and
again.
Thank
you,
mr
epperson.
I
I'm
sorry
for
sending
you
down
the
rabbit
hole
I
would
like,
potentially
to
maybe
have
either
a
special
session
or
maybe
a
closed
session.
B
D
Acting
planning
and
community
development
director
reach
out
to
mr
sayak
regarding
his
questions
about
the
properties
he's
attempting
to
move
forward,
it
sounded
to
me
like
annexation,
was
on
the
table,
but
somehow
we
couldn't
get
past
that,
and
I
don't
know
that
that's
true,
but
I
would
like
greater
clarity
on
that
as
well
mayor.
Thank
you.
That
concludes
my
comments.
Thank
you
vice
mayor
recentes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Just.
A
A
H
F
A
F
Such
a
fantastic
job-
and
that
is
very
important
for
us,
so
really
great
job,
so
appreciative
of
that,
and
then
we
have
a
fantastic
time
when
we're
out
there
talking
to
the
the
residents
and
the
constituents.
So
thank
you
guys
for
all
the
hard
work
that
you
do
and
thank
you
to
all
the
partners
that
helped
to
put
that
off
on.
G
I
don't
know
if
that's
an
additional
cost.
If
that's
something
we
can
use
the
american
rescue
plan.
Also,
I
I
did
notice
there
they
do.
They
have
other
options
for
different
types
of
lights,
instead
of
just
those
string
ones
that
they
have
some.
That
are,
I
seen
some
in
capitola
the
other
night
and
they
were
like
really
beautiful,
also
so
to
see
if
there
was
like
a
different
option
if
something
just
liven
up
our
downtown
with
our
lights
yeah.
G
G
G
And
does
anybody
know-
or
I
don't
know
if
I
should
reach
reach
out
to-
maybe
excuse
me
reach
out
to
the
arts
council,
because
we
asked
about
getting
a
contest
or
something
for
our
city
flag
or
getting
one
made
up
from
the
arts
council.
The
also
I
don't
know
if
I
should.
I
was
going
to
try
saying
this
during
the
g2
comment,
but
I
also
have
been
meeting
with
the
the
150th.
I
can't
say
this
cause
whatever
it
is
the
150th
celebration
of
hollister's
birthday
they
are.
G
G
It's
exciting.
It's
historic!
It's
once
in
a
lifetime,
it's
once
in
a
history,
not
even
a
lifetime,
but-
and
I
would
like
to
thank
all
the
all
the
volunteers,
all
the
different
agencies
that
are
involved
with
that
for
putting
so
much
time
into
this.
We
we
really
appreciate
you,
and
especially
the
private
businesses,
we're
getting
a
lot
of
private
sponsorship
from
the
businesses
and
small
businesses
throughout
our
city,
and
that's
all
I
have.
Thank
you,
sir.
G
I
too
want
to
thank
the
wreck
department
for
an
outstanding
job
to
see
all
those
families
out
in
our
downtown
this
weekend,
just
having
a
really
good
time-
and
it's
just
amazing-
and
I
I
heard
it
as
I
walked
down
the
street
over
and
over
from
the
public
saying
I
didn't
know,
we
had
all
these
great
things
in
downtown
so
much
fun
here
and
that's
what
we
want
to
hear
and
great
success
thanks
to
you
guys
and
our
partners
as
a
vice
mayor
percentage,
point
out,
but
all
the
partners
working
together.
We
are
unstoppable.
G
The
news
was
here:
they
wanted
to
interview
me
about
it
and
want
to
know
everything
how
we're
doing
this
and
it's
just
great,
just
fantastic
loved
it
loved
it
loved
it.
I
do
also
want
to
bring
up
the
speed.
Humps
they've
been
very
successful
in
the
way
that
the
community
wants
them
everywhere,
but
I
also
noticed
something-
and
I
brought
this
up
about
that
light
with
success.
There's
criticism
and
there
are
those
that
are
criticizing
the
thought
of
having
to
slow
down
for
a
speed
hump.
G
There
are
those
that
are
criticizing
them
for
different
reasons,
including
additional
noise.
That
can
happen
with
the
speed
hump,
and
I'm
wondering
I
think
in
the
past
we
had
a
policy
if
a
street
wanted
to
have
speed
humps
they
had
to
have
a
petition
or
something-
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
should
put
something
together
for
some
of
these
streets,
because
I
can
definitely
see
the
great
majority
overwhelming
want
the
speed
humps.
G
But
there
are
going
to
be
those
that
are
going
to
complain
about
it
and
feel
that
they
didn't
have
their
their
say
in
the
in
the
matter,
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
important
to
make
sure
the
public
is
clear
that,
yes,
it
will.
You
do
have
to
slow
down.
That's
why
we're
doing
this,
and
there
is
a
potential
for
some
additional
noises.
G
Some
people
insist
on
revving
their
engines
once
they
go
over
one
and
I'm
sure
chief
can
handle
that
part
also,
but
I
just
think
it's
important
to
be
fair
and
up
front
with
the
the
public,
and
maybe
we
can
come
up
with
something
to
yeah.
We
can
come
up
with
a
polish
or
some
herbs,
some
kind
of
process
to
request
them,
and
that
way,
as
we
get
more
speed
humps,
we
could
prioritize
those
streets
that
are
getting
those
filled
out
from
their
residents
as
a
way
to
do
it.
G
G
Yeah.
The
pickleball
court
is
a
gift
that
keeps
on
giving
yeah.
We
thought
we
had
somebody
that
would
come
in
and
paint
them
for
a
reasonable
cost
until
his
boss
found
out
what
he
was
doing.
So
we
staff
is
looking
out
to
just
purchase
the
paint
themselves
and
go
ahead
and
and
do
it
do
it
themselves.
G
Thank
you
and
I
think,
for
a
little
more
clarity.
I
think
there
was
a
I've
had
this
comment
or
question
to
me
and
councilman
burns
also
had
the
question
about
clara
park.
I
believe
you
said
that
they're
ready
to
start
moving
on
that
soon
or
yeah.
Sorry,
I
was
writing
notes
for
custom
enterprises.
Last
item.
G
Yes,
so
for
clower
park
they
lowered
the
equipment
to
match
up
the
ramp,
the
ada
ramp
for
that
piece
and
then
also
now
they're
waiting
to
put
the
cement
in
or
slurry
for
the
the
tiles,
and
they
probably
have
to
wait
for
the
weather
to
balance
out,
but
they
are
moving
forward
plus
they
are
adding
some
other
additional
features.
Like
a
merry-go-round.
F
A
So
I
really
appreciate
it
excellent,
excellent
everyone,
city
attorney.
Thank
you
no
report,
mr
mayor
chief,
thank
you
mr
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to.
I
was
advised
of
the
two
issues
that
were
brought
up
when
I
missed
the
meeting,
and
one
of
which
was
the
animal
control
opening
on
saturdays.
We
are
working
on
that.
We
do
have
one
staff
member
that
is
on.
G
I
I
The
ones
that
we
have
are
fantastic
and
they've
been
with
us
for
a
long
time,
but
we
are
open
for
new
volunteers
and
anyone
who
wants
to
be
part
of
our
extended
family
chief.
I
notice
that
you,
you,
the
police
of
our
the
police
department,
has
a
robust
social
media
page.
I
see
it
and
and
and
congratulations.
I
First
of
all,
I
really
appreciate
what
is
put
out
on
a
regular
basis
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
maybe
have
that
social
media
page
maybe
put
something
out
about
the
volunteers
and
and
and
the
potential
for
extended
hours
in
the
future.
Sure
thank
you
can
do
that.
Thank
you.
That's
all
I
have
thank
you,
mr
resendez.
You
have
another
yeah.
Thank
you.
I
I'm
just
wondering
have
you
seen
any
impact
because
of
covet
and
what
are
you
doing
with
the
volunteers
in
regards
to
covid,
I
think
they're,
the
regards
to
kova
they're
they're,
following
the
same
guidelines
that
our
regular
staff
follow
as
far
as
working
there
at
the
at
the
shelter
anything
more
specific.
I'm
not
sure
what
you
mean,
I'm
just
wondering.
Did
we
lose
volunteers
because
of
covet
and
they
haven't
came
back
and
then,
if
not,
then
are
we
gonna
have
or
do
we
have
any
protocols
like?
I
So
I'm
just
wondering
because,
like
parents
can't
come
on
the
campus
at
schools
because
of
covert
I'm
just
wondering
if
it's
any
different
with
your
department
there,
I
I
don't
you
I
don't.
I
haven't
heard
of
any
vo
losing
any
volunteers
because
of
covet.
I
know
there
was
a
time
where
they
weren't
there,
similar
to
the
police
department.
I
We
did
have
volunteers
there
and
during
the
last
year,
during
the
the
the
beginning
of
covet,
we
we
followed
direction
from
the
city
city
manager
to
not
have
them
come
to
work
until
that
was
resolved,
but
since
they've
been
back,
they
have
been
following
all
the
protocols
of
cdc
requirements
and
osha
and
but
I
don't
believe,
we've
lost
any
because
of
that.
Okay,
good
all
right.
I
E
Oh,
yes,
okay,
perfect
good
afternoon,
mayor
city
council.
Today,
I
have
joining
me,
brooke
wright
brooke.
Are
you
able
to
unmute
yourself?
I
am
thank
you.
Selena,
perfect.
Okay,
today
contractor
environmental
innovations
and
myself
will
be
providing
a
brief
overview
of
the
green
business
program
updates
and
a
special
focus
on
the
program,
resources
and
support
that
was
provided
to
aid
our
local
businesses
in
recovery
during
covid.
E
E
These
businesses
receive
free
technical
support,
access
to
rebates
and
other
free
resources
and
the
education
needed
to
green
their
operations,
which
is
good
for
the
environment
and
their
bottom
line.
A
win-win.
Our
local
program
is
part
of
this
statewide
network
of
green
business
programming
for
small
and
medium-sized
businesses,
and
the
network
includes
a
coalition
of
40
participating
and
participating
cities
and
counties
with
over
4
000.
E
Certified
green
businesses
in
the
state
funding
is
provided
by
the
state
and
matched
by
the
participating
program
agencies
and
thanks
to
leadership
at
iwm,
ei,
environmental
innovations
and
the
state
network.
Significant
resources
have
come
right
back
to
hollister
businesses
via
rebates
and
staff
time.
K
Additionally,
we
have
numerous
program
partners
who
make
the
success
of
the
program
possible,
such
as
the
hollister
downtown
association,
the
san
benito
county
chamber
of
commerce
rocology
our
franchise
hauler,
who
provides
free
waste
audits,
staff,
training,
free
recycling,
containers
and
signage,
and
then
water
resources,
association
of
san
diego
county,
who
also
provides
water
audits,
low
flow
sink,
aerators,
low
flow,
toilets
and
other
water
conservation
tools.
We
currently
have
39
businesses
enrolled,
20
of
which
are
in
hollister,
who
are
actively
working
on
their
certification.
K
I
think
brooke
was
going
to
jump
in
on
this
slide.
Sure
thing,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
giving
us
some
time
to
share
the
highlights
of
this
program
with
you
tonight.
This
seems
like
so
long
ago
already,
but
we're
looking
at
some
of
the
highlights
we
have.
From
last
year
we
had
a
small
business
saturday
ad
campaign,
where
we
were
able
to
do
free
digital
promotions
for
already
certified
businesses
and
remember
this
was
in
the
wake
of
the
pandemic,
and
so
we
were
trying
to
still
get
attention
to
the.
C
We
won't
be
playing
this
clip
today
for
the
sake
of
time,
but
this
is
just
one
example
from
a
recent
interview
with
business
owner
margot
from
margo's
ice
cream
parlor
in
san
juan
batista,
who
has
been
saving
thousands
of
dollars
each
year
on
her
utilities
by
participating
in
this
program,
and
I
think
brooke
was
going
to
take
this
slide
too
great.
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
also
mention
that
san
benito
county
is
really
a
model
green
business
program.
C
We
continue
to
see
san
benito
county's
program
as
a
leader
in
how
to
work
in
rural
communities
effectively
and
collaboratively
with
government
businesses,
associations
and
other
non-profits
thanks
brooke.
So,
in
addition
to
the
free
releases,
resources
and
support
that
is
provided
to
our
local
businesses,
our
regional
agency
members
see
increased
environmental
outcomes.
C
Ei
ran
a
two-year
report
from
march
2019
to
the
end
of
march
2021
that
showed
certified.
Green
businesses
in
san
benito
county
reduced
their
waste
by
almost
eight
hundred
thousand
pounds
and
additionally
saved
over
fifty
three
thousand
through
green
practices,
and
this
past
october
we
held
our
first
in-person
green
business
mixer.
C
Overall,
it
was
an
exciting
event
and
great
opportunity
to
reconnect
with
our
growing
green
community,
and
our
next
mixer
will
be
in
partnership
with
the
chamber
of
commerce
on
january
19th,
and
we
hope
to
see
you
all
there.
I
think
brooke
is
going
to
take
it
from
here
brooke.
Just
let
me
know
next
slide
sounds
good.
Thank
you
selena.
C
So
that
was
mainly
looking
back
and
now
we
want
to
start
looking
forward
a
little
bit.
We
are
happy
to
be
able
to
be
back
in
person,
doing
outreach
and
supporting
businesses
in
person.
We
work
closely
with
the
county
to
ensure
our
program
helps
the
region
meet
waste
mandates
to
that
end
and
to
help
the
sector
that
was
hit
hardest
by
the
pandemic.
We
are
prioritizing
restaurant
outreach
this
fiscal
year
and
we're
also
planning
to
work
with
schools
and
I'll
get
into
that
a
little
bit
more
later.
C
C
So
speaking
of
the
restaurants,
so
we
included,
I
think,
selena
already
mentioned,
we
included
a
little
bit
in
the
contract
this
year
to
be
able
to
support
food
where
ordinance
outreach.
You
may
remember,
iwm's
intern
monica
presented
on
the
food
ware
ordinance
concept
in
the
past
and
city
council
was
very
interested
at
that
time
to
move
forward.
C
At
this
point,
we've
had
34
businesses
fill
the
survey
that
you
know
addresses
food
where
ordinance,
questions
for
them
and
gets
their
feedback
on
the
potential
ordinance,
and
many
of
them
also
include
where
their
pain
points
are.
When
they
do
these
interviews
and
it's
in
person
they're
able
to
share
some
of
the
details
of
what
their
concerns
are
and
then
also
what
they're
looking
forward
to
about
the
ordinance
too
and
what
types
of
resources
they
would
need
to
be
able
to
comply
with
it
successfully.
C
So
we
will
work
to
double
that
number
by
the
end
of
the
year
of
participants
in
the
survey,
and
let
me
just
see,
hang
on
a
second
selena.
I
don't
want
to
talk
for
too
long,
but
I
do
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
resources
that
we're
bringing
so
one
project
that
monica
is
working
now
is
developing
a
robust
vendor.
H
A
F
A
M
J
F
And
we
are
planning
and
developing
a
green
schools
program,
which
means
working
with
the
district
teachers
and
students
to
ensure
that
schools
are
as
green
as
possible
and
that
the
students
are
getting
environmental
education
by
participating
in
the
certification
process.
So
we're
developing
some
projects
and
tools
to
help
kids
actually
own
the
process
of
certifying
the
school.
M
L
L
Seems
to
be
a
big
buy-in,
you
know,
you
said
something
about
34
of
the
rest.
Restaurants
or
businesses
gave
you
feedback.
Was
that
just
like
the
restaurants
and
stores,
or
was
that
also
the
wineries?
And
no,
we
were
targeting
restaurants
and
retail
stores.
Okay,
so
that's
probably
what
130ish
I'm
not
sure.
I
think
it's
about
130.,
the
that's
great
I
mean
for
for
just
starting
out.
I
think
it's
really.
A
F
K
School
program,
you
know,
I
it's
you
guys
are
doing
great
stuff
and
then
it's
it's
an
honor
to
be
part
of
this
committee.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Rick
councilmember
burns.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
don't
know
what
your
staffing
capacity
is,
but
on
the
diocese
evening
I
heard
what
a
great
event
the
parks
and
rec
department
has
put
out,
and
you
know
the
halloween
event.
I
won't
even
hazard
a
guess
on
how
to
say
the
event,
but
I
think
it'd
be
a
great
opportunity.
A
Sort
of
an
educational
booth-
or
you
know
some
sort
of
a
partnering
with
the
city
on
that
kind
of
stuff
to
to
further
get
the
word
out
to
parents
and
kids.
We
often
know
that
the
kids
are
really
great
at
hounding
the
parents,
and
so,
if
you
get
both
at
the
same
time,
that's
a
win-win
and
then
the
other
thing,
I'm
not
sure
you
may
or
may
not
be
aware.
But
this
council
is
very
excited.
J
A
F
F
D
F
A
A
teacher
I
applied
for
a
mini
grant
was
that
through
you
guys
for
a
hundred
people,
yeah
well,
not
through
us,
but
we
help
promote
it.
Okay!
Well,
thank
you,
I'm
really
excited
about
it
and
I've
even
been
talking
to
my
students
about
it.
I
don't
want
to
talk
bad
about
my
employers,
but
I
will
tell
you
that.
