Hollister City Council Special Meeting June 28, 2021
A
B

F
B
D
For
this
item,
I
would
first
like
to
wish
our
hr
manager
happy
anniversary
as
this
is
why
I'm
doing
this
this
item
as
she
is
enjoying
her
anniversary.
But
this
is
so.
This
resolution
is
to
approve
a
memorandum
of
understanding
between
the
city
of
hollister
and
the
confidential
unit
for
the
term
of
july,
1st
2021
to
through
june
30th
2023.
E
D
E
I
appreciate
that
I
guess
my
other
question
would
be.
I
noticed
that
we've
we
put
the
juneteenth
holiday
on
there
as
well,
and
just
for
clarification,
that's
that's
not
a
mandatory
holiday
that
everybody's
entitled
to
correct.
That's
a
choice.
The
city
and
the
council
have
the
discretion
of
either
saying
yes.
D
E
D
There
is
not
any
for
say,
increased
benefit.
There
will
be
an
increased
cost
to
how
it's
been
in
the
past.
There
pers
increases
their
health
care
costs
and
there
will
be
a
12
increase
in
health
care
costs
to
the
city.
But
it's
in
that
that's
what
has
been
in
the
past
negotiat
year.
Yearly
increases
have
been
from
anywhere
from
two
to
percent
to
twenty
percent
increases.
E
D
B
E
H
H
The
list
of
streets
that
we
are
proposing,
or
that
will
be
done
for
this
project,
would
be
chapel
road
from
mccarthy
to
alvarado
mccarthy
street,
from
alvarado
to
wrecked
cast
in
court
from
chapel
to
the
end
alvarado
street,
from
chapel
direct
and
rec
street
from
mccarthy
to
alvarado
in
november
2020.
A
task
order
was
issued
to
kimberly
horn
to
prepare
plans
and
specs
to
construct
the
project.
The
plans
are
now
complete
for
bidding
purposes.
H
G
Yeah,
actually
it's
more
of
a
comment.
It's
like
this.
The
whole
plan
and
everything
seems
to
be
looks
really
good.
I
think
it
just
continues
the
with
the
work
that's
going
on
at
mccarthy
park.
Mccarthy
street
is
they're,
not
gonna
know
how
to
act
when
it's
all
nice
but
yeah.
I
just,
I
think
it's
a
great
thing
to
happen
to
continue
what
we're
the
process
of
the
park
and
everything
good
job.
Thank
you.
F
F
B
H
Good
evening
mayor
mr
mayor
city,
council,
renee
perels
again
this
item
resolution
2021-132
will
approve
a
supplemental
appropriation
and
a
professional
services
agreement
with
raf
telus
financial
consulting
to
perform
an
update
on
our
water
and
wastewater
rates,
connection
fees
and
wastewater
capacity.
Fee
study,
as
mentioned
in
my
report,
the
last
study
was
for
water
was
performed
in
2012
and
staff
feels
that
it's
the
right
time
to
conduct
a
peace
study
to
bring
those
cities
fees
in
line
with
the
current
costs.
H
Raph
telus
has
provided
our
last
fee
study
and,
due
to
their
knowledge
of
our
system,
feel
that
they
can
provide
us
with
a
more
cost-effective
or
it
was
a
more
cost
effective
way
to
to
have.
The
study
done.
Staff
recommends
that
the
city
council
adopt
resolution
2021-132,
approving
a
supplemental
appropriation
and
the
professional
services
agreement
with
rapha
telus.
B
B
I
think
part
of
the
issue
I
had
is,
I
believe,
the
last
one
added
in
several
of
the
county
projects
and
different
things
and
pretty
much
put
the
burden
back
on
to
the
regular
rate
payers
rather
than
to
the
new
construction
going
on.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
addressing
that
this
time
around
yeah.
Thank
you.
Councilmember.
G
G
D
Is
the
water
the
water
portion
would
go
up,
but
my
guess
is
also
that
the
wastewater
portion
will
go
down
so
that
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
balance
out
what
our
our
rates
are
kind
of
different
correctly
and
then
also
we're
as
part
of
the
budget
presentation.
Is
we're
also
looking
at
replacing
water
lines.
So
we
have
to
kind
of
put
that
into
our
calculation
of
what
our
rates
need
to
be
to
to
able
to
to
pay
for
those
bonds
going
forward.
C
B
D
D
H
D
D
The
reason
for
the
budget
being
so
low
for
2021
is
that
that
was
supposed
to
be
coveted
was
supposed
to
be
that
we
thought
for
sure
we
were
going
to
be
crashing
like
everybody
else,
but
we
said
we
actually
came
in
a
lot
better
than
we
expected
and
we
do
tend
to
have
expected
revenue
growth.
Also
this
year.
D
D
So,
once
again,
we'll
and
with
the
budget
we
have,
we
have
a
balanced
budget
and
we'll
we're
predicted
in
the
year
was
about
4.4
million,
which
would
be
about
15
reserve,
which
is
an
adequate
reserve.
So
we
went
through
with
the
one
time
monies
the
big
thing.
The
change
here
will
actually
be
on
page
two.
D
We
replace
the
the
police
rifle
silencers.
I
believe,
with
the
fire
rate
study,
which
is
the
sixth
item
down
that
it
was
request
requested
and
another
thing
I
added
on
that.
I've
noticed
in
the
last
couple
of
budget
meetings
and
kind
of
looked
at
through
the
revenues
and
felt
like
we
can
balance
this
out.
It's
the
very
last
item
is
a
lot
of
times
throughout
the
year
we
keep
getting
asked.
Can
we
do
a
traffic
study?
Can
we
do
speed
humps
instead
of
going
to
the
to
the
council
every
time
to
do
these?
D
D
And
then
here's
how
we're
gonna
pay
for
all
those
one-time
costs
like
we
did
until
last
time,
and
I
always
like
to
have
this
schedule
in
we
said
we
have
a
balanced
budget.
But
if
you
really
want
to
start
adding
in
the
approximately
three
million
dollars
that
we
need
to
spend
on
our
our
roads,
we
would
be
actually
upside
down
and
we'll,
as
the
years
come.
We're
gonna
start
trying
to
work
on
that
and
then
last
couple
pages
have
a
somewhat
solution
to
help
with
making
that
gap
and
that
that
includes
allies.
D
D
Okay,
so
let's
see
so
those
are
like
the
different
ending
fund
balances.
So
on
this
page
I
really
want
to
thank
the
council
member
burns.
We
had
a
very
good
talk
about
code
enforcement
and
the
different
things
pitfalls
and
things
to
think
about,
and
actually
some
other
things
that
we
need
to
adjust
in
that
department.
D
But
I'm
going
forward
with
the
recommendation
that
we
do
the
community
service
level
two
and
the
main
reason
is.
I
really
like
the
idea
of
having
somebody
at
the
briggs
building.
We
keep
having
issues
over
there
with
homeless
and
some
other
other
issues
with
the
the
parking
garage,
and
this
would
just
give
them
a
presence
over
there.
That
I
think,
would
be
very
needed,
and
so
that's
what
I'm
recommend.
I
made
the
change
from
airport
director
to
airport
manager,
so
those
are
really
the
the
main
main
differences
from
when
we
saw
this
at
the
workshop.
D
That
just
shows
the
staffing
change
so,
like
I
said
beyond
the
budget,
so
that
oops
so
like
I
said
I
won't
want
to
work
on
trying
to
to
obtain
some
financing
say
40.
We
believe
40
million
dollars
in
water
line
replacements
that
could
help
with
helping
us
maximize
the
what
we
feel
about
20
million
dollars
in
street
and
alley
repairs
like.
D
I
said,
we're
going
to
look
at
pension
bond
obligations
and
then
we've
already
started
the
process
tonight
with
the
ad
hoc
committee
to
reevaluate
the
operations,
the
fire
contract
and
cost
share,
and
then
we're
going
to
start
on
the
budget
initiatives,
because
it's
never
too
early
to
start
on.
These
items
is
to
re-look
at
the
business,
license
the
tot
tax
and
then
like
say
our
tax
sharing
agreement
with
the
county.
D
So
one
of
the
questions
was
the
american
rescue
plan
act.
I
got
to
tell
you
nothing
changes
if
you
rush
something
out
of
government,
there's
always
changes.
So
this
I
feel
that's
got
really
rushed
through
and
there
are
ideas
that
can
continue
to
change.
So
this
kind
of
really
shows
the
allocation
of
the
monies
between
all
the
different
states
and
cities,
and
I
want
to
I
reported
at
one
time
we
got
7.7
and
I
feel
like
it
was
one
of
the
greatest
investments
and
within
a
couple
weeks
we
got
9.7.
D
So
so
what
can
we
spend
this
money
on?
So
you
can
use
it
on
funds
to
respond
to
covet
19
public
health
emergency
or
support
various
activities
to
decrease
the
spread
of
virus,
so
we'll
be
looking
at
different
items
that
we
can
use
in
with
throughout
the
the
city
to
protect
our
workers
and
the
public.
D
This
is
one
of
the
areas
that
I've
heard
numerous
different
things
that
different
governments
are
doing.
I
don't,
I
will
say
I
don't
mind
being
part
of
the
leading
cutting
edge,
but
when
it
comes
to
federal
money
and
their
ability
to
take
your
money
back,
I
would
really
like
to
make
sure
some
proven
facts
before
we
go
cutting
edge
with
this.
But
some
some
agencies
are
actually
giving
kind
of
one-time
monies
to
their
employees
as
a
kind
of
a
appreciation
of
working
through
the
through
all
the
heartaches
of
the
coed
19.
D
D
So
I
say,
as
this
keeps
changing,
there's
always
different
ideas
and
stuff
to
look
at.
What
I
would
ask
is
that
we
adopt
the
budget
as
is,
but
for
when
it
comes
to
the
american
rescue
rescue
plan
that
will
have
a
baby
late
august,
a
special
meeting
to
really
go
through
the
different
ideas
and
then
get
councils
buy
off
what
they
think
is
the
best
use
of
those
funds.
B
D
F
F
E
E
With
regard
to
the
american
rescue
plan
money,
I'm
wondering
if
it
wouldn't
behoove
the
council
to
maybe
create
an
ad
hoc
committee
to
to
be
involved
in
that
before
it
comes
to
the
council,
because
clearly
the
council
has
the
pulse
of
the
community
and
with
regard
to
what
is
currently
the
permitted
uses,
one
of
those
areas
is
sewer.
I
I
I
just
read
that,
and
I
believe
I
read
in
the
report.
E
So
if
we
were
to-
and
this
is
maybe
more
of
a
what-if
question-
we
have
a
a
lot
of
old
underground
pipe
and
it
frequently
breaks
and
we
go
and
we
fix
it
and
then
down
the
road
it
breaks
and
we
fix
it
and
we've
done
that
for
a
number
of
years
and
that's
consistent
with
a
lot
of
cities
that
are
old,
correct.
Is
that
money,
something
that
if
we
wanted
to,
as
a
council
commit
to
just
do
all
the
pipes
that
we
could
buy
with
the
10
approximately
10
million
dollars?
Is
that.
E
D
E
I
just
want
to
put
it
out
there.
That's
kind
of
where
my
focus
and
priority
is
with
this
money.
It's
it's,
it's
not
a
windfall
by
any
means,
but
it's
certainly
enough
to
get
us
to
where
we
would
like
to
be,
and-
and
you
know,
I'm
not
convinced,
we'll
see
this
kind
of
money
come
our
way
in
the
future
correct,
and
so
I
want
to
talk
for
a
minute
about.
E
During
our
last
budget
conversation,
I
brought
up
the
request
to
include
two
fire
prevention
officers,
and
I
still
would
like
to
see
that
happen.
I'm
convinced
that
the
fire
department
has
a
use,
a
need
of
value
and
I'm
I'm
comfortable
with
an
idea
that,
particularly
with
the
fire
fee
study
that
we
can
get
to
a
budget
neutral
position
on
those
two
positions
not
to
make
money
but
fee
for
service
skills,
and
I'd
really
like
to
see
a
commitment
on
behalf
of
this
council.
I
know
this
council
clearly
supports
public
safety.
E
We
all
recognize-
and
I'm
convinced
of
this-
that
it
doesn't
matter
how
nice
our
community
is,
if
it's
not
safe,
whether
it
be
from
a
fire
science
or
a
service
or
from
a
police
service,
everything
else
is
just
kind
of
secondary
up.
Until
that
point,
I
believe-
and
so
I
I
want
to-
I
would
like
to
see
us
move
forward
to
commit
to
those
fire
prevention
officers
this
evening,
if
possible.
E
E
But
I
would
like
to
know
if
there
aren't
already
dedicated
employees
to
do
that
work.
I
would
like
to
see
this
council
commit
to
maybe
hiring
a
couple
of
maintenance.
Folks-
and
I
don't
know
what
to
call
them-
I
don't
know
what
their
job
classifications
are,
but
somebody
that
would
be
dedicated
to
do
that
work,
year-round
as
their
primary
function
throughout
our
community
and
then,
if
there
is
additional
time
or
if
there's
an
emergency
or
a
crisis,
pull
them
for
that.
But
you
know
I've
seen
a
lot
of
good
work.
E
I
think
that
we
might
want
to
look
more
closely
at
that,
but
know
that
I
am
concerned
about
the
the
constant
fire
department's
going
over
the
budget,
but
the
reality
is,
is
I
understand
it's
not
that
they're
going
over
it's
if
you've
got
40
employees
and
if
you're
only
budgeting
for
18
people
for
working
overtime,
then
I'd
say
maybe
a
systemic
issue,
and
I
don't
expect
that
to
get
fixed
with
this
budget.
But
I
don't
want
that
to
be
forgotten
about
and
then
my
final
comment
would
be.
E
I'm
not
pleased
with
what
I
heard
at
our
last
council
meeting
vice
mayor
rosendes.
Thank
you
for
quizzing,
the
economic
development
corporation
and
the
work
that
they've
done,
and
I
would
recommend
that
we
remove
that
hundred
thousand
dollars.
I
think
it
was
from
the
donation
and
I
don't
know
what
the
contract
is.
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
feasible,
okay,
but
but
I
would
like
to
find
a
way
out
of
that.
E
D
Okay,
man,
I
will
try
to
re
very
I'm
going
to
try
to
address
a
bunch
of
those.
If
I
can
remember
that
was
a
good
list
so
with
fire.
I
I
kind
of
looking
over
at
rick's
position,
because
I
do
recall
council
member
clower
sitting
and
going
okay.
I
don't
know
what
to
do
about
the
fire
budget.
Do
we,
it
seems
like
we're,
always
guessing
wrong
and
we
increase
it
and
we
don't
have
any.
You
know
they
say
more
people
we
give
more
people
than
we
in
the
fire.
D
D
D
We
use
those
for
sound
walls.
I'm
trying
to
work
with
public
works
right
now
to
maybe
come
up
with
a
a
better
system
so
that
we
can
be
proactive.
I
do
not
like
being
reactive
to
projects,
it's
just.
It
seems
like
we.
We
spend
more
time
jumping
around
from
item
to
items
so
that
we're
really
working
on
being
a
little
bit
more
proactive
but
yeah
that
that
is
a
big
thing,
because
I
mean
we,
it
seems
like
the
weeds
around
here.
D
D
E
I
agree
so
I
I
guess
the
final
question
I
have
is
in
regards
I
I
like
the
proposal,
whether
it
be
25
or
50
000
for
each
council
member
for
fee
studies
or
for
traffic
studies.
I
mean,
and
so
I'm
wondering,
if
there's
a
capacity
within
the
budget
to
allocate
to
each
council
member
x
amount
of
dollars
for
other
things,
whether
it
be
to
contribute
to
the
snip
bus
or
whether
it
be
to
contribute
to
other
special
needs
and
and
nonprofits.
That
may
be
impacted
that
were
that
we're
passionate
about.
D
Okay,
I
think
that's
a
wonderful
idea,
but
usually
we
bring
those.
What
I
would
suggest
is
when
we
do
come
in
with
a
mid-year
budget
or
when
we
close
out
our
previous
year,
I'm
hoping
there's
some
cushion
that
we
actually
brought
in
more
more
revenues
than
our
expenditures
and
that's
usually
additional
one-time
monies
that
we
use
for
other
projects.
So
that
would
be
a
good
use
of
those
funds.
E
That
in
past
conversations
it's
been
suggested
that
maybe
maybe
there
could
be
some
some
flexibility
in
how
that
money
is
used,
because
it's
money
that
already
exists.
I
will
tell
you
right
now:
I'm
not
going
to
spend
2500
of
the
taxpayers
money
to
educate
myself.
I
will
not
be
going
to
conferences
and
things
like
that,
and
so,
but
I
also
am
smart
enough
to
know
having
been
in
charge
of
multi-million
dollar
budgets
personally,
that
if
I
don't
use
it,
it
just
rolls
back
into
the
general
fund.
D
G
D
G
G
G
F
Not
really,
I
don't
think
we're
everything
that
you
spoke
about
tonight.
We're
not
voting
on
that
you're.
Just
asking
for
like
a
verbal
commitment.
Is
that
correct?
Thank
you,
yeah
and
then
I
agree.
I
just
think
that
yeah
there's
I've
got
some
some
thoughts
and
some
suggestions,
but
I
think
that
we
can
talk
about
an
appropriate
time
and
I
and
I
support
what
you
suggested.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
sir.
I
I
do
have
a
couple
comments.
I
agree
100
with
councilman
burns
on
the
edc
comments,
and
I
think
we
have
to
really
look
at
a
few
other
contracts
that
we
have
with
the
county
right
now
that
we're
really
not
getting
a
good
return
on,
and
I
do
agree
as
far
as
the
property
tax
sharing
agreement.
B
B
Why
sometimes
it's
hard
for
us
to
afford
to
do
different
projects
and,
as
you
mentioned
it's
clear
now
that
the
county
is
growing
faster
than
the
city,
which
really
should
never
be
happening
and
it
puts
a
strain
on
to
the
city
and
that's
just
not
the
right
direction.
The
comment
about
the
sound
walls-
it's
been
one
of
those
things.
I've
talked
about
for
years
since
the
very
beginning.
It
has
gotten
much
better,
but
I
think
the
answer
is
really
going
to
be
to
start
working
with
local
landscapers.
B
It
gives
them
the
ability
to
grow
their
businesses
and
really
ends
up
providing
a
first-rate
job,
because
that
is
the
kind
of
business
they're
in,
and
I
think
it
will
really
benefit
our
staff
because
it'll
let
our
staff
members
focus
on
other
projects,
repair
projects
such
as
the
roads
or
anything
else
that
we
need
fixed
within
the
city.
I
think
right
now,
it's
hard
for
them
to
try
to
take
care
of
the
sound
walls
and
then
run
off
to
do
another
project
they
need
to
fix
and
back
back
and
forth.
B
So
I
think
we
can
have
consistency,
we'll
finally,
get
to
the
point
of
being
very
proud
of
the
way
our
sound
walls.
Look,
I
think,
the
the
contract
or
some
of
the
discussion
on
the
fire.
I
agree
with
you,
city
manager.
I
think
we
should
get
together
with
the
ad
hoc
first.
Have
a
good,
in-depth
conversation
understand
the
reports
that
were
done
before,
so
we
can
find
a
good
pathway
to
make
this
thing
work
for
us
in
a
very
positive
way.
So,
overall,
I'm
very
pleased
with
the
work
you
did
with
the
budget
this
year.
B
I
do
want
to
get
to
the
point
of
making
sure
that
the
conversation
of
maintaining
our
roads
is
something
that
has
been
talked
about
for
years,
but
without
a
commitment
to
the
funding
to
get
to
that
3
million
three
and
a
half
million
dollars
a
year.
We
will
never
be
able
to
maintain
our
roads
properly
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we
can
put
together
a
plan
that
over
the
next
five
years
we
can
get
to
that
point.
B
Because
again,
if
we
don't
dedicate
those
dollars,
we
will
never
get
to
that
point
of
making
our
roads
the
quality
level
that
the
residents
deserve.
So
with
that
again,
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
Senior
manager
did
a
great
job
on
this
budget
and
let's
do
some
more
positive
things.
I
know
we're
going
to
get
there.
