Good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
back
from
our
summer
hiatus
our
first
meeting
back
after
our
summer
break.
So
thank
you
all
for
coming
out
tonight
and
I'm
I,
for
one,
am
happy
to
be
back
with
everybody,
so
we're
gonna
change
things
up
a
little
bit
today,
because
in
less
than
two
weeks
now
we
have
the
remembrance
of
9
11..
B
B
B
I
knew
I
knew
the
first
firefighter
who
was
killed
that
day.
I
had
met
him
and
talked
to
him
had
dinner
with
him
since
9
11,
I
had
the
honor
of
getting
to
be
friends
with
a
firefighter
who's
buried
at
9.
11.
he's
buried
twice
from
the
collapse
of
the
buildings
and
he
survived
he's
not
doing
too
well,
because
it's
all
the
things
he
inhaled
that
day
but
9
11
is
personal
to
me.
I
knew
some
of
those
people.
B
B
C
D
B
F
F
They
are
also
spotlighted
on
the
city's
website,
through
our
social
media
channels
and
they're
highlighted
in
our
city's
monthly
economic
development
newsletter.
Lastly,
they
will
be
mentioned
during
the
city's
annual
state
of
the
city
address
tonight.
We
would
like
to
introduce
and
recognize
our
first
program
award
recipient.
F
F
They
employ
between
15
and
20
people
and
are
passionate
about
sharing
their
delicious
foods
and
culture
with
anyone
who
walks
through
their
doors,
there's
so
much
more.
That
can
be
said
about
the
latino
marketing
grill,
but
I'm
afraid
it'll
make
me
a
little
hungry.
So
at
this
time,
mayor
engler
I'd
like
to
invite
you
up
to
say
a
few
words
and
to
present
this
award
on
behalf
of
the
city.
B
B
I
must
say
I
have
had
some
of
the
tamales
from
your
place
and
they
are
to
die
for
so.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
being
here
in
town.
Thank
you
for
everything.
You've
done
your
story,
embodies
the
spirit
of
the
american
of
this
award
perfectly
your
longevity.
The
growth
you've
experienced
your
resiliency
and
the
cultural
enrichment
you
bring
to
our
city
is
truly
exceptional.
We
are
honored
that
you
call
thousand
oaks
your
home
and
tonight
we
celebrate
your
history,
your
success,
and
we
wish
you
many
many
more
years
of
success
into
the
future.
Congratulations.
B
E
B
It
will
represent
the
first
attempt
in
east
ventura
county
to
start
concretely
addressing
homelessness,
and
it
would
not
have
been
possible
without
the
the
staff
who
did
great
work
over
a
period
of
several
years,
our
city
council,
who
backed
the
the
effort-
it's
also
due
to
a
large
part,
to
our
assembly
assembly,
member,
jackie
irwin,
who
we're
now
calling
her
the
velvet
hammer,
because
she
was
pounding
the
desks
up
in
sacramento.
To
make
this
happen.
B
The
county
of
ventura
also
is
coming
in
with
with
money
and
and
and
coming
in
with
people
who
will
help
us
give
the
types
of
services
that
these
folks
need.
We're
looking
forward
to
working
with
our
our
developer,
shangri-la
industries
we're
looking
forward
to
working
with
our
our
purveyor
step
up
on.
Second,
who
will
help
administer
the
the
building.
B
It's
a
a
real
milestone
for
the
city.
We're
gonna
have
a
groundbreaking
here
in
I
don't
know
a
few
few
more
weeks,
maybe
a
month,
and
then
we
will
get
busy
and
make
this
happen
within
the
next
eight
months.
So
we
can
have
people
housed
within
eight
months,
so
a
real
feather
in
the
cap
of
the
staff,
hats
off
to
them
and
a
real
nice
thing
for
our
city
going
forward.
B
E
This
is
a
time
and
place
for
public
comments.
All
remarks
should
be
addressed
to
the
council
as
a
whole.
Speakers
are
requested
to
state
their
name
and
community
of
residence
for
the
record.
Sixteen
individuals
have
requested
to
speak
and
pursuant
to
council
standards,
speakers
are
allowed
three
minutes.
The
yellow
light
displays
when
you
have
one
minute
remaining.
B
Very
good,
we
do
have
some
speakers,
our
first
speaker
and
if
we
can,
if,
if
I
call
several
names
out,
if
you
can
kind
of
start
lining
up
in
front
here,
so
that
we
can,
you
know
save
as
much
time
as
we
can
as
we
can.
So.
Our
first
speaker
up
is
lauren
brazulia
brazula,
followed
by
adam
haverstock
and
george
rosenthal,.
E
E
E
Our
dog
ollie
had
a
severe
and
traumatic
injury
to
his
head
region
at
4,
30
p.m.
On
a
busy
friday
afternoon,
as
I
was
leaving
work,
my
husband
crater
cradled,
our
injured
ollie
and
frantically
searched
for
the
nearest
emergency
vet,
a
quick
google
search
provided
the
vet
services
of
visec
veterinary
specialty
and
emergency
center
here
in
thousand
oaks.
E
Vacation
ollie
was
crying
and
yelping
loudly
from
the
considerable
damage
and
pain,
desperately
my
husband
attempted
to
persuade
the
staff
to
assist
him
in
any
way
begging
for
a
piece
of
gauze
to
manage
the
bleeding
or
something
to
secure
ali
to
protect
and
prevent
further
injury,
while
he
traveled,
but
unfortunately
the
requests
were
held
on
deaf
ears,
as
he
was
coldly
denied
any
support
with
ali
in
his
arms.
My
husband
would
make
it
to
the
oaks
veterinary
urgent
care
in
agoura
hills
in
time.
E
E
Why
do
they
not
present
a
clear
description
in
the
name
of
their
company
and
hours
of
operations
that
they
can
accurately
describe
what
services
can
actually
be
provided?
But
I
ask
you
who
will
stand
with
the
families
affected
by
this?
Who
will
advocate
for
us
in
the
community
to
do
what
needs
to
be
done?
Others
who
share
a
sincere
concern
for
the
safety
of
our
animals
have
bravely
joined
us
at
our
rallies
in
front
of
vsec.
E
Unfortunately,
many
of
them
also
believe
they
may
have
lost
their
animals
here
because
of
their
decision
to
bring
them
to
this
facility,
which
is
heartbreaking.
I
can
spread
our
story
within
my
capacity
to
the
fullest
extent
possible.
I
believe
our
cause
is
a
just
one
and
I
will
do
everything
I
can
to
prevent
this
unnecessary
risk
in
our
community.
From
continuing,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
raise
awareness
of
this
serious
issue.
I
am
only
one
person
and
I
cannot
carry
this
burden
alone.
F
Thank
you
mayor
angler
and
council
members.
My
name
is
adam
haverstock
and
I'm
the
director
of
government
affairs
and
tourism
at
the
greater
canelo
valley
chamber
of
commerce.
Here,
with
a
report
from
your
chamber
this
month,
the
chamber
hosted
the
second
annual
kaneoho
valley,
job
fair,
the
job
fair
is
a
new
event
that
was
created
to
assist
our
employers,
who
are
trying
to
fill
vacancies
in
our
tight
job
market.
This
event
was
on
august
10th
at
los
robles
greens
and
thousand
oaks,
and
it
was
a
huge
success.
F
F
Next,
I
wanted
to
tell
you
about
our
small
business
stories
project.
This
is
a
partnership
between
the
chamber
of
commerce
union
bank
and
the
rotary
club
of
westlake
village
sunrise.
The
chamber
is
producing
videos
featuring
kanejo
valley,
small
businesses.
We
are
telling
their
stories
and
putting
a
human
face
to
these
businesses,
and
all
of
them
are
businesses
that
struggle
through
the
pandemic
and
have
great
stories
to
tell
about
the
community
support
that
helped
them
stay
in
business.
F
Three
of
the
businesses
that
recently
filmed
are
oak
and
iron
grab
a
green
and
hub
bike
shop,
all
in
thousand
oaks.
The
video
for
grab
a
green
is
already
live
and
can
be
found
on
the
chamber's
website,
canehochamber.org
on
our
social
media
or
in
our
newsletter.
The
other
two
videos
are
in
post-production
and
we'll
be
going
live
soon.
F
Next,
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
save
the
date
for
the
chamber's
taste
of
kaneho
mark
your
calendars
for
sunday
november,
6th
from
1
to
4
p.m.
This
year,
taste
of
conejo
will
be
at
the
higher
regency
west
lake,
which
is
actually
a
thousand
oaks,
and
this
is
the
first
time
that
we
are
hosting
taste
of
canao
since
2019
before
the
beginning
of
the
covet
19
pandemic.
F
F
F
The
revenue
per
room
even
exceeds
our
previous
highs
made
pre-pandemic
in
august
of
2019.
in
the
month
of
august
of
this
year.
So
far,
revenue
has
been
about
130
dollars
per
room
per
night
district
wide.
This
is
much
higher
than
the
110
dollars
per
room.
We
budgeted
for
and
august
is
peak
season
for
our
hotels
with
the
additional
revenue
we
have
greenlit
some
new
projects
for
visit,
canejo
valley
number
one.
We
have
done
an
update
to
the
hiking
trails
section
on
canejo.com.
F
B
I
I
The
cpi
is
not
going
down
anytime
soon.
In
fact,
yearly
increases
will
continue
to
be
compounded
year
after
year.
The
council
did
not
differentiate
between
family
and
senior
parks.
A
family
park
would
have
two
or
three
working
individuals
with
multiple
incomes,
while
the
senior
parks
usually
have
one
individual
on
social
security
seniors
have
to
pay
utilities,
trash
groceries,
phone
home
insurance,
health
insurance,
gasoline
car
payment,
as
well
as
huge
increases
in
everyday
expenses
due
to
inflation.
I
Many
are
struggling
to
get
by
with
only
social
security,
the
seniors
own,
their
mobile
homes,
but
they
could
be
forced
out
with
lot
rents
approaching
a
thousand
dollars
per
month.
Council
needs
to
amend
the
ruling
and
put
a
three
percent
cap
on
senior
mobile
home
parks
lot.
Rent
as
it's
been
for
the
last
10
years,
keep
the
status
quo
at
three
percent,
not
triple
it
for
seniors
and
force
them
out
on
the
street.
We
have
a
hundred
plus
homeowner
signatures
right
here.
I
We've
gathered
in
just
a
few
weeks
we're
trying
to
keep
seniors
who
own
their
homes
from
losing
their
homes
and
being
not
put
on
the
street.
The
council
and
park
owners
made
a
moratorium
that
covered
the
last
10
years.
Why
would
that
moratorium
be
dropped
in
light
of
the
disastrous
skyrocketing
economy?
Now
the
the
city
of
city
attorney
here
stated
to
the
ventura
county
store.
I
The
attorney
said
any
future
of
amending
the
ordinance
has
to
be
approved
by
the
owners
why
they
already
got
their
input
into
this
at
eight
and
a
half
percent
when
they
decided
to
gouge
the
seniors
who
cannot
even
afford
medicine.
I
sat
with
many
of
these
people
in
their
kitchens
80
to
90
year
old
seniors.
I
B
J
J
J
How
do
we
envision
our
city
developers
must
not
be
allowed
to
remove
oak
trees
protected
by
the
general
plan
and
replace
them
with
3.1
non-native
15-gallon
trees
requiring
water
68
of
californians,
say
water
supply
is
a
critical
issue
for
us
and
they're
not
happy
with
our
state
and
local
governments
on
how
it
appears.
You
are
rolling
over
this
mandate
with
no
infrastructure
or
plans.
J
The
governor's
19-page
plan
does
not
go
into
effect
till
2025..
This
city
must
pause
and
further
high
density
developments
until
this
water
supply
infrastructure
is
in
place.
There's
a
projected
loss
of
10
percent
of
our
state's
water
supply
in
the
next
two
decades.
Developers
must
use
gray,
water
and
plant
drought
resistant
landscape.
We
can
still
energize
thousand
oaks
boulevard
and
include
more
park
road
with
street
enhancements,
but
we
must
fill
higher
capacity
of
our
retail.
There
are
too
many
empty
retail
spaces.
J
We
need
to
watch
299
and
1710
to
see
if
this
mix
use
model
actually
fits
in
our
community.
It
may
not
be
best
for
our
city
there's
an
election
in
november,
and
we
need
council
members
and
county
supervisors
who
support
open
space
oak
trees,
families
of
all
ages
singles
members
of
responsible
development
and
safety,
as
well
as
economic
growth.
The
use
of
special
plans
needs
to
be
audited
by
an
independent
source
since
way
too
many
protected
oaks
are
getting
removed
by
this
backdoor
loophole.
J
Affordability
must
be
real.
Seven
thousand
dollars
a
month
for
an
apartment
is
not
affordable
for
the
same
price.
You
can
get
a
four
bedroom
home
in
westlake
village.
We
need
to
rein
in
inflation,
although
it
may
be
painful
for
our
developers
really
look
at
the
target.
Renter,
it's
not
a
recruiting
tool
for
singles,
but
for
families
who
work
in
our
doctor's
offices,
restaurants,
small
business,
clean
our
houses,
retail
establishments
and
grocery
stores.
Look
like
tino
market.
J
We
do
not
want
to
become
like
idaho,
where
it
becomes
so
unaffordable
that
the
labor
lives
on
the
outskirts
of
town
in
motorhomes
and
cars.
Finally,
with
this
drought,
the
city
council
must
budget
for
the
tree,
trimming
costs
and
removal
of
non-dated
dead
trees.
Look
around
our
town,
the
mature
branches
are
going
to
begin
to
split,
fall
on
roads,
power
lines,
houses
and
parking
lots
up
to
25
percent
of
our
tree.
Canopy
is
going
to
die
in
this
drought
at
the
end
of
the
year.
J
K
When
I
moved
in
there
two
years
ago,
they
increased
it
by
10
percent,
and
now
I'm
going
to
be
going
to
a
22
percent
and
that
affects
my
income,
I'm
obviously
what
do
I?
What
am
I
going
to
buy?
What
am
I
going
to
have?
Do
I
have
to
buy
enough
groceries?
Do
I
have
to
pay
for
my
car
insurance?
Do
I
have
to
pay
for
my
my
home
insurance?
Do
I
have
to
pay?

When
the
10-year
rent
increase
measure
came
up
for
renewal
in
june
of
last
year.
We
thought
renegotiation
would
be
part
of
the
package.
Instead
such
discussion
was
tabled
sometime
in
fall
when
it
never
came
up.
We
asked
for
a
cap
at
that
time
of
five
percent.
It
was
never
addressed.
It
was
promised
to
be
addressed
in
the
fall.
It
never
come
in.
L
L
L
L
Global
home
population
is
roughly
60.
Ladies
20
men
and
the
average
social
security
income
of
a
lady
is
1300
a
month
or
15
600
a
year,
and
the
ventura
county
points
out
that
between
12
000
is
acutely
low
for
a
single
person
and
26
five
hundred
income
is
extremely
low
landowners.
Imposing
an
eight
percent
point:
five
percent
rent
increases
price
gouging,
just
like
big
oil.
L
M
The
petition
asks
the
city
council
to
begin
the
legal
process
to
amend
the
rent,
stabilization
ordinance
to
add
a
5
percent
cap
on
the
100
cpi
figure
that
is
used
to
calculate
our
annual
rent
increase
to
support
the
residents
petition.
I
reference
a
table
that
is
published
by
gsmol
the
table,
lists,
cities
and
or
counties
in
california
that
have
a
rent,
stabilization,
ordinance,
92,
california,
cities
and
or
counties
have
a
rent
stabilization
ordinance.
M

There
was
a
cap
of
5
and
it
was
removed.
I'm
here
just
like
everybody
else
wanting
to
put
a
cap,
especially
for
our
low-income
seniors.
I
we
we
have
they're
there.
I
don't
know,
there's
anybody
here
from
the
ranch,
but
our
seniors
are
they're
quiet.
They
stay
to
themselves,
they're,
elderly
they.
They
have
many
medical
issues
and
we've
been
referred
to.
As
from
the
ambulance
that
come
into
the
park,
we've
been
referred
to
as
god's
waiting
room,
and
so
we
don't
cause
any
problems
and
it's
a
lot
to
pay
your
space
rent.
N
B
M
M
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today,
I'm
here
to
add
a
voice
to
the
issue
of
the
exceedingly
high
8.5
rental
increase
imposed
at
our
area,
mobile
home
parks,
and
I
talk
multiple
like
thunderbird
and
ranch
and
venture
anyway.
You've
heard
also
all
the
statistics,
and
if
you
didn't
know
that
before
you
got
here,
you
certainly
know
it
now.
For
mr
rosenthal
and
others.
M
I'm
63
years
old,
when
my
husband
is
72.
While
we
can
afford
the
increase
many
of
our
neighbors
cannot.
They
are
senior
citizens
on
fixed
social
security
incomes.
They
did
not
get
an
8.5
pay
increase
on
the
social
security
checks.
My
neighbors
and
area
residents
have
enjoyed
a
peaceful
existence
who
may
actually
already
be
living
check
to
check
into
their
80s
and
beyond.
M
They
cannot
go
out
and
get
part-time
jobs
to
pay
for
their
sudden
increase.
The
raises
vary
from
65
to
90
a
month.
It's
so
easy
to
provide
for
low-income
housing
for
prospective
residents,
and
we
want
to
do
that
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we
can
do
something
about
the
homeless,
but
we
can't
sit
idly
by
and
forget
the
mobile
home
park
residents
who
have
lived
here
for
decades.
They
patronize
their
local
businesses
as
well
as
utilize,
much
needed
services
in
their
daily
lives.
Many
of
these
residents
don't
even
drive
anymore.
M
I
I
visit
many
of
them.
I
implore
you
to
rethink
the
increase
before
causing
chaos
and
disruption
in
the
lives
of
our
mobile
home
park
residents
who
may
need
to
leave
because
they
can't
afford
the
increase,
but
would
have
no
place
to
go.
Please
let
them
live
out
their
golden
years
in
peace
and
without
financial
burden
they
earned
it.
Thank
you
thank.
D
To
the
mayor
and
city
council,
thank
you
very
much
for
letting
me
speak.
I
am
christine
white.
I
live
in
thousand
oaks
mobile
home
park
and
I
am
a
37-year
united
states,
army
veteran
and
I
moved
to
this
park
in
2017,
knowing
that
this
is
a
retirement
park,
it
was
a
55
plus,
and
most
of
my
neighbors
are
in
their
80s.
D
So
it
just
doesn't
happen
overnight.
It's
just
not
an
automatic
thing
and
it's
not
an
automatic
thing
for
our
seniors.
So
I'm
trying
to
represent
our
seniors
that
live
in
thousand
oaks
and
all
the
other
parks
and
hopefully
you'll,
understand
that,
and
I
appreciate
you
listening
to
me.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Ma'am.
O
Hi
boy,
I'm
a
lot
more
comfortable
behind
a
pen
than
behind
a
microphone
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
me
my
name's
becca,
and
for
the
last
almost
decade
I've
been
reporting
for
the
acorn
on
most
of
the
things
that
happened
in
this
room,
but
recently
I've
accepted
a
job
still
with
acorn
on
the
other
side
of
the
grade.
So
I
won't
be
reporting
here
anymore
and
I
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity,
the
first
time
being
up
here
just
to
say
thank
you.
O
I
think
steve
kearns
was
on
my
speed,
dial
quite
often,
and
to
tracy
and
her
staff,
who
would
have
the
patience
of
saints
to
explain
a
a
legal
issue
that
the
city
was
facing
and,
of
course,
all
of
you.
I
think,
there's
supposed
to
be
this
separation
of
church
and
state
between
the
reporters
and
those
that
are
reporting
on.
O
B
B
P
P
Drug
addiction
homes
propped
up
here
in
thousand
oaks
alone
as
a
money
scheme
collecting
thousands
per
head
abusing
the
system
and
creating
a
hazard
in
our
residential
areas,
there's
drugs
that
are
currently
being
smoked
on
that
premises
where
I
live
as
well
as
others.
My
neighbors
have
already
been
there.
Apparently
right
now,
there's
six
people
in
that
house
all
from
la
which
what
appears
to
be
one
all,
but
one
who
is
a
drug
addict?
So
now.
Clearly,
we've
allowed
this
to
happen.
P
Since
you
know,
there's
been
more
around
the
community,
and
so
I'd
like
to
point
out
some
of
the
facts
that
we
that
may
be
unknown
since
they
actually
don't
require
a
license
in
order
to
operate.
We
don't
know
what
the
charges
could
be.
A
sex
offender
could
be
a
drug
addict.
We
don't
know
what
the
record
they
have:
they're,
not
supervised.
P
Sometimes
it's
been
caught
in
in
previous
instances
as
a
drug
house
and
they're,
also
known
as
the
quickest
ski
quickest
way
to
scheme
insurance
money
due
to
lack
of
operational
guidance,
so
doing
a
deeper
dive.
The
person
who
owns
multiple
registered
business
names
involving
drug
addiction,
housing,
who
is
now
who
has
been
sued
by
the
beverly,
the
city
of
beverly
hills,
is
in
the
same
very
situation.
P
That's
three
doors
down
from
my
house,
say
that
he's
moving
a
family
into
the
neighborhood,
not
drug
addicts,
for
a
profit
scheme
on
my
seat
on
my
street
that
we
see
every
day.
So
now,
I'm
certain
that
I
speak
for
those
who
are
in
this
county
who
may
have
the
same
issue
going
on.
It
definitely
is
something
that
is
definitely
not
tolerable
to
allow
in
our
community
and
from
a
sincere
common
sense
standpoint.
P
These
homes
are
filled
with
addicts
under
no
supervision
operating
without
a
license
around
our
kids
still
doing
drugs,
with
my
neighbors
that
I
have
witnessed.
So
there
have
been
several
counties
that
have
gone
after
this
issue
and
one
due
to
constant
ambulances
being
called
drug
overdoses,
fighting
in
the
streets,
etc,
and
as
many
as
my
neighbor
can
attest-
and
I
have
firemen
here
that
can
attest
as
well
as
an
emt
fireman
says
that
we,
this
is
gonna
happen,
and
I
honestly
work
too
darn
hard.
P
K
So
then
they
increase
our
medicare
and
all
the
prices
go
up
and
we
are
behind
every
year,
more
and
more,
but
at
least
we're
a
lot
better
off
than
camarillo
who
doesn't
have
rent
control,
rinse
stabilization,
not
rent
control
and
as
a
result,
they
raise
their
prices
on
two
of
their
their
rents
on
two
of
their
mobile
home
parks
in
camarillo
by
100
percent.
This
year,
100
percent
seems
like
a
thousand
oaks
is
heading
that
direction
and
not
in
lifting
the
cap
on
the
cpi.
It's
pbi.
K
We
don't
know
how
high
it's
going
to
go,
but
it
can
go
quite
high
and
again
I've
seen
people
in
my
park,
which
you
know
is
the
5.9
increase.
Not
all
not
all
mobile
home
parks
took
that
about
12
percent
said
we'll
take
a
little
bit
less
and
I'll.
Take
100
of
your
increase,
but
most
took
all
of
it
and
is
much
worse
in
cameroon
and
much
worse
over
here
in
thousand
oaks.
K
So
you
know
really
I've
seen
people,
even
in
my
park
having
to
move
out
no
place
to
go
having
to
go
back,
live
with
family
family
doesn't
really
want
them.
They
don't
want
to
live
there.
They
want
to
be
independent,
they
want
to,
you,
know,
have
their
own
place,
but
that
just
wasn't
the
case
now
some
people
might
say
well,
why
didn't
we
work
harder?
Have
more
have
more,
you
know,
retirement
and
things
of
that
sort.
Well,
I
have
a
master's
degree.
I
was
a
professional,
my
wife
had
two
master's
degrees.
K
We
both
had
our
own
businesses.
You
know
I.
I
was
an
executive
director
for
a
long
time
for
large
companies
for
residential
care
communities
and
a
professional
trainer
for
many
many
years
throughout
the
whole
state
of
california.
So
what
happened?
My
wife
got
cancer.
My
mom
got
cancer
bankruptcy
losing
our
home
and
ended
up
in
a
mobile
home
park,
and
we
thought
you
know
my
wife
and
I
were
supposed
to
be
traveling
through
europe
right
now,
but
it
didn't
happen.
K
You
just
never
know
what's
going
to
happen
in
life,
and
you
know-
and
this
is
this
is
what's
happening,
but
you
know
we
can't
afford
these
increases.
Someone
said
something
about
9
11
how
people
were
looking
out
for
each
other
that
lasted
a
few
months.
I
guess,
but
it
doesn't
seem
worth
they
were
there
anymore.
So
thank
you.
K
Thank
you
and
good
evening.
My
name
is
jeff
briggs.
I
live
in
the
sunset
hills
area.
My
wife
and
I
moved
here
from
hollywood
just
before
the
pandemic
and
by
the
way
for
our
foresight,
we'll
be
handing
out
lottery
numbers
after
the
meeting,
I've
been
involved
in
dealing
with
homelessness
for
both
the
homeless
and
taxpayers.
K
Since
I
chaired
the
hollywood
chamber
of
commerce
for
two
years
in
2007
and
2008.,
I'm
a
lawyer
for
many
small
businesses
and
business
groups
still
in
hollywood,
I
just
continue
to
represent
them
from
afar,
instead
of
amidst
because
of
the
dystopia.
That
la
has
become
my
goal
in
speaking
to
you
tonight
is
to
help
you
prevent
thousand
oaks
from
reaching
that
same
level
of
dystopia.
K
K
K
K
I
also
applaud
the
thousand
oaks
police
department's,
vulnerable
population
squad
and
various
community
non-profits
who
work
tirelessly
to
try
to
help
get
help
to
those
who
need
and
want
it.
But
one
thing
missing
from
the
strategy
is
a
temporary
shelter.
As
you
know,
in
its
absence,
thousand
oaks
is
not
able
to
enforce
its
anti-public
space
camping
laws.
K
As
we
learned
in
the
in
hollywood
when
we
close
down
a
number
of
open
public
space
encampments
in
the
hollywood
hills,
eventually,
those
people
will
end
up
on
our
streets
and,
as
you
know,
we
can't
make
them
leave
the
streets.
If
you
don't
have
temporary
shelter.
I
beg
you
to
please
make
temporary
shelter
an
urgency
a
priority.
K
D
D
D
D
In
this
book,
the
author
makes
the
case
for
a
number
of
major
reforms
in
urban
planning,
including
housing
reforms
and
transportation
reforms
rooted
in
free
market
economic
scholarship.
The
book
proposes
that
cities
might
be
able
to
work
better
by
harnessing
the
results
of
bottom-up
private
sector
activity
of
many
individuals
as
opposed
to
top-down
government
plans.
D
The
book's
goal
is
to
portray
a
vision
where
cities
could
potentially
be
better
run
more
affordable
and
easier
to
get
around
in
using
a
market
urbanist
model.
I
would
strongly
encourage
some
of
the
people
involved
in
running
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
to
consider
taking
a
look
at
this
book,
I'm
jeff
schwartz

Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.

Q
Q
Acknowledge
becca
I
so
enjoy
reading
your
articles.
They
flow
so
nicely
and
fairly
represent
what
was
presented,
no
bias
at
all
you're,
a
wonderful
reporter,
and
I
hope
you
take
that
and
instill
that
in
the
people
that
would
be
looking
to
you
as
a
editor
of
the
camarillo
moore
park
acorn.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
B
G
Thank
you,
mayor
becca.
I
always
appreciated
a
call
from
you.
Sometimes
when
the
press
calls.
I
I
cringe,
but
when
I
know
it's
you,
I
know
we're
gonna
have
a
good
chat
together
and
I
like
the
way
you
write,
unbiased,
good,
factual
stories,
so
we're
gonna,
miss
you,
but
you're
gonna
do
a
great
job
in
your
in
your
new
post,
so
hope
to
be
reading
a
little
bit
from
that
area
too.
B
B
E
You,
first
of
all
you
know
I
want
to
thank
you
all
who
came
tonight
to
discuss
concerns
regarding
rent
increases
at
mobile
home
parks.
The
city
understands
the
economic
pressure
facing
our
residents.
You
know
those
who
reside
in
mobile
home
parks
and
actually
those
in
all
other
housing
types
in
the
city.
Everyone
is
struggling,
costs
for
vital
needs
such
as
food
and
gas
and
utilities
have
really
imp
and
housing
have
really
impacted
everyone
in
our
community
and
the
city
is
acutely
aware
of
that.
E
With
respect
to
mobile
home
park
rents,
it's
a
really
complicated
matter.
You
know
the
city's
rent
stabilization
ordinance
that
sets
forth
the
entire
formula
for
rent
increases
has
been
in
place
since
2011
the
exact
formula
and
that
formula
itself
was
negotiated
and
agreed
upon
by
mobile
home
park
residents
and
owners.
The
city
didn't
create
the
formula
and
the
city
has
not
changed
what
the
residents
and
the
mobile
home
park
owners
agreed
upon
in
2011.
E
S
S
This
item
of
the
rent,
stabilization
ordinance,
is
not
on
the
agenda
tonight
and
this
city
council
we're
required
to
comply
with
the
brown
act
and,
as
a
result,
the
city
council
cannot
discuss
the
item
tonight.
However,
we
have
received
multiple
emails.
We
have
been
in
conversations
with
our
city
council
with
many
other
residents
here
tonight
and
we
are
prepared.
Staff
is
prepared,
mayor
and
city
council
members
to
bring
an
item
back
to
you
at
our
next
city
council
meeting
on
september
13th.
S
This
will
give
us
an
opportunity
to
more
clearly
explain
the
negotiated
agreement
that
our
city
attorney
mentioned,
that
was
between
the
park
owners
and
the
residents
which
serves
as
the
basis
for
this
rent
stabilization
ordinance
and
then
at
that
time
the
city
council
will
be
able
to
discuss
this
matter
in
detail
and
also
provide
direction
to
staff
on
what
the
next
steps
should
be
and
mayor.
I'd
also
like
to
address
the
other
public
comments
as
well.
S
S
These
businesses
are
heavily
regulated
by
state
and
cities
have
little
to
no
control
due
to
the
criminal
activity
that
mr
stone
mentioned.
I'd
like
to
have
our
chief
of
police,
who
is
in
attendance
tonight.
Jeremy
paris
speak
with
mr
stone
directly,
so
he
will
step
into
the
hallway
to
speak
directly
with
you,
mr
stone
and
then.
Lastly,
with
regards
to
sheltering
from
mr
briggs,
he
and
I
have
had
several
email
communications.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight.
S
Sheltering
has
been,
and
will
continue
to
be,
a
priority
for
this
city
council
until
it
comes
to
fruition,
and
the
city
council
did
direct
staff
to
work
with
the
developer
to
find
a
location
for
an
emergency
shelter,
and
that
has
been
our
number
one
challenge.
I'm
happy
to
discuss
this
further
with
mr
briggs.
I
believe
you
still
have
my
email
address
and
I
can
give
you
additional
information,
and
that
concludes
my
comments.
Thank
you,
mayor.
Thank
you.

gas
emissions
and
the
move
to
electric
vehicles
will
help
reduce
our
reliance
on
fossil
fuels,
while
decreasing
pollution
and
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
that
contribute
to
global
warming
and
climate
change.
The
installation
of
three
electric
vehicle
chargers
at
the
newbury
park
library
and
the
four
ev
chargers
at
the
grant
brim
hall
library
will
be
an
excellent
addition
to
our
city's
growing
ev
charging
infrastructure.
K
These
are
both
great
locations
for
easy
charging
stations.
It
will
help
community
members
top
up
their
batteries
while
utilizing
our
city's
excellent
libraries,
quick
shout
out
to
the
librarians
and
the
staff
at
both
locations.
Thank
you
for
the
work.
You
do.
The
ev
charging
stations
at
both
library
locations
will
provide
community
members
who
live
in
apartments
that
lack
ev
charging
infrastructure,
the
ability
to
charge
their
vehicles
in
a
safe
and
convenient
location
and
for
people
who
typically
charge
their
vehicles
at
home
overnight.
K
This
will
allow
them
to
use
daytime
renewable
energy
provided
by
the
claimed
power
alliance.
I'm
asking
city
council
to
please
authorize
the
acceptance
of
ses
grants
and
the
approved
budget
and
to
approve
the
budget
appropriation
for
the
aforementioned
ev
charging
station
installations,
we're
in
a
climate
emergency
and
every
fraction
of
a
degree
of
global
warming
matters.
Let's
do
the
right
thing
for
our
community
and
help
provide
a
livable
future
for
our
children.
Thank.
B
Okay,
we'll
get
back
to
it.
Councilmember
mcnamee
will
be
with
us
shortly.
What
we
will
do
is
start
our
department
reports.
Our
first
report
up
is
our
water
shortage,
emergency
measures,
and
we
do
have
several
of
our
staff
members
here
to
help
present
it.
We
have
our
dr
helen
cox,
who
was
our
sustainability
division
manager,
and
we
also
have
cliff
finley
and
john
brooks
as
well
as
tracy
friedl,
to
help
us
with
any
questions.
H
Good
evening,
mayor
members
of
the
council,
I'm
here
this
evening
to
present
a
resolution
modifying
the
permitted
time
for
irrigation
and
an
update
on
progress
towards
meeting
our
water
conservation
target.
Also
with
me
this
evening
and
available
to
answer
your
questions.
Our
senior
analyst
john
brooks
and
public
works
director
cliff
finley.
H
As
you're
aware,
during
the
ongoing
extreme
drought,
there
are
insufficient
supplies
from
the
state
water
project
to
meet
the
normal
demands
in
the
metropolitan
cayega
service
areas.
This
year,
emergency
action
was
taken
by
taken
by
metropolitan
earlier
this
year.
First,
secure
emergency
supplies
to
meet
health
and
safety
needs
and
then
to
adopt
an
emergency
conservation
program
on
may
24th,
council
declared
a
level
four
water
shortage
which
brought
with
it
a
number
of
conservation
measures
aligned
with
the
metropolitan
mandates,
including
the
one
day
a
week.
Watering
limit.
H
H
We
also
wanted
to
remind
folk
that
they
may
only
water
one
day
a
week,
regardless
of
whether
they're
using
drip
or
some
other
kind
of
irrigation
system,
and
that
watering
must
take
place
before
eight
in
the
morning
or
after
six
pm.
In
the
evening
hand,
watering
of
trees
and
shrubs
is
only
permitted
to
keep
them
alive
and
must
not
be
abused
or
used
to
water
lawns.
H
This
chart
shows
the
performance
of
the
metropolitan
agencies
that
are
served
by
the
state
water
project,
I.e
those
subject
to
the
current
mandate.
Fortunately,
the
service
area
as
a
whole
is
meeting
the
required
target.
As
a
result,
metropolitan
has
deferred
a
decision
on
a
complete
outdoor
watering
ban,
but
will
be
reviewing
performance
monthly
at
their
board
meeting
the
earliest.
Now
that
a
ban
could
be
put
in
place
is
in
october.
H
Although
metropolitan
as
a
whole
is
meeting
the
conservation
target,
our
region
served
by
cayegas
is
not,
as
of
last
week,
the
local
agencies
were
14
above
the
district's
target.
We
are
indeed
fortunate
that
the
other
areas
have
more
than
met
their
target,
or
we
could
be
facing
an
outdoor
watering
ban
immediately.
H
This
table
shows
the
monthly
targets
and
performance
of
all
local
agencies
served
by
cayegas.
All
three
agencies
serving
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
and
you'll
see
those
marked
by
the
red
boxes.
The
city
and
the
orange
ones
are
the
other
two
agencies
serving
our
local
area,
they're
all
over
the
106,
gallons
per
capita
per
day
or
gpcd
august
target.
H
As
of
the
end
of
last
week,
customers
in
the
city's
own
service
area
used
145,
gallons
per
capita
per
day
or
37
percent
more
than
the
106
target
in
the
cal-am
service
area,
which
covers
the
western
part
of
the
city
and
newbury
park,
usage
is
78
over
the
target
and
in
the
cal
water
service
area
that
includes
west
lake
usage
is
more
than
double
the
target
or
164
percent.
Above
it,
even
though
the
community
has
reduced
water
use
by
approximately
30
to
35
percent
relative
to
the
prior
two
summers.
H
H
H
This
in-house
dashboard
allows
customer
service
staff
to
review
citations
photographs
and
observations
and
respond
to
questions
from
residents
to
date
over
1200
violation
notices
have
been
issued.
Most
of
these
are
warnings,
but
145
include
fines.
Residents
are
subject
to
a
flow
restrictor
should
a
fifth
violation
occur.
All
entities
with
four
citations
are
individually
contacted
by
city
staff.
H
So
far,
no
flow
restrictors
have
been
installed
as
indicated
earlier.
Metropolitan
agencies
that
are
served
by
the
state
water
project
are
meeting
the
current
mandate.
Overall,
two
of
them
are
well
under
the
use
limit.
Two
are
on
target,
but
cayegas
is
one
of
the
two
districts
not
meeting
its
target.
H
The
city
has
made
every
effort
to
get
the
word
out.
We
have
run
full-page
ads
in
the
acorn
newspaper
for
the
past
few
weeks,
co-sponsored
by
our
sister
agencies
and
will
continue
to
do
so.
We
have
a
dedicated
website
at
teoxwater.org,
where
all
pertinent
information
can
be
found
and
we've
given
webinars
utilize,
the
newsletters
mailings,
letters
and
social
media
to
spread
the
word
moving
forward.
We
will
be
increasing
the
use
of
metered
data
to
identify
and
seek
out
violators.
H
Water
agencies
not
meeting
their
targets,
may
be
subject
to
a
penalty
of
up
to
two
thousand
dollars
per
acre
foot
on
water
used
in
excess
of
targets,
beginning
in
december.
At
current
water
usage.
This
is
estimated
to
be
three
hundred
to
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
month
for
the
city
service
area.
H
This
is
a
significant
financial
penalty
and
will
have
implications
for
future
rates
if
current
trends
continue
in
our
local
sister
agencies,
calam
and
cal
water,
because
their
performance
in
meeting
targets
is
worse
than
the
cities,
their
penalties
will
be
much
higher.
Residents
should
be
aware
that
these
costs
are
likely
to
be
reflected
in
future
rate
hikes.
H
B
G
H
H
H
G
G
G
H
I
think
that
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
have
made
those
savings,
and
really
it's
reflected
mostly
in
the
in
the
lawns,
mostly
what
we're
after
and
the
reason
for
not
allowing
spray
sprinklers
is
really
because
we
don't
want
people
watering
lawns
anymore,
so
it
is
fairly
clear
in
the
field
when
you're
out
there,
you
can.
You
know
if
lawns
are
still
green,
then
they're
still
being
watered
and
they
would
be
being
used
using
spray
sprinklers.
For
that.
G
G
Yes,
well,
residents
of
thousand
oaks,
it
seems
to
me
that
the
key
is
to
convert
from
spray
to
drip
and
you
gotta
give
up
the
lawns.
It's
a
part
of
the
past.
Now
and
you
know
it's
a
it's
not
that
bad,
you
know
they
die
and
then
you
come
up
with
something
else
to
replace
them
with
and
whether
it's
artificial
turf
or
maybe
put
in
some
stone
work
or
something.
But
you
know
I
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
this
winter,
but
I'm
not
particularly
optimistic
that
we're
going
to
get
a
deluge.
G
Q
My
concern
is
that
I,
as
I
drive
around,
I
see
some
commercial
businesses
who
have
decorative
lawns
and
it
doesn't
take
a
rocket
science
expert
to
figure
out
that
they
are
watering
their
lawns
too
much
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
we're
leaning
on
the
water
distribution,
purveyors
to
see
who's
violating
and
to
notify,
and
so
far
the
notifications
have
been
via
letter
or
email,
and
I
come
back
to
the
human
bond.
Make
a
phone
call
call
the
owner
of
the
property.
Q
Now
I
know
that
some
people
have
complained
to
the
city
of
some
of
these
larger
commercial
properties
that
have
beautiful
green
lawn
still
and
at
middle
day.
They're
watering,
the
lawn
and
the
city
follows
up
saying
to
the
water
distribution
purveyor.
Why
haven't
you
reached
out?
They
said?
Oh
yeah,
we
sent
a
letter.
We
sent
an
email,
no
response,
so
the
city
winds
up
having
to
get
involved
in
an
area
they
have
no
control
over
and
calling
the
owner
who
says.
Q
Q
Q
But
I
don't
think
it's
too
difficult
if
one
of
the
landscape,
people's
out
there
working
on
our
medians
and
keeping
our
city
beautiful,
that
they
see
a
green
lawn
and
write
down
the
address
and
bring
it
back
and
say:
have
they
reduced
their
water
usage
or
perhaps
we
should
contact
the
owner
of
that
commercial
property,
because
if
we
get
them
all
online
and
complying
like
the
rest
of
us,
I
could
see
us
meeting
our
goals.
Very
quick
thought.
City
manager.
S
Sure,
thank
you
councilmember
mcnamee.
We
do
have
staffing
resources
dedicated
to
the
monitoring
for
compliance
with
our
regulations
in
terms
of
asking
other
city
employees
to
do
that.
There
are
labor
matters
that
we
would
have
to
navigate.
So
we
just
can't
change
someone's
job
description
without
going
to
the
labor
unions.
E
I
try
not
to
say
no,
you
can't
do
that,
but
but
ingrid
is
correct,
you
know,
and
it's
not
just
in
the
city
context.
You
know
any.
You
know
when
you
hire
an
employee,
you
hire
them
and
they
have
a
job
description
and
they
have
duties
and
anytime
you
expand
upon,
expand
those
duties
or
add
new
duties.
You
have
to
evaluate
whether
you
legally
can
do
that
or
not
so
and
and
and
specifically
because
our
employees
do
have
memorandums
of
understanding
that
set
forth
what
we
can
and
can't
do.
T
E
Q
Just
saying
in
the
course
of
their
day,
but
I
follow
that
there's
certain
rules
that
we
need
to
comply
by
and
you
always
keep
me
in
line
and
tell
me
kevin.
This
is
the
way
the
law
reads,
and
I
appreciate
that
the
other
one
is
asking
your
people
in
the
community.
If
you
see
a
green
lawn
and
so
forth,
perhaps
report
it
to
the
city
and
take
a
look
at
the
numbers
and
see
if
it's
one
where
we
need
to
have
a
discussion.
T
First.
First
of
all,
we
absolutely
as
a
department
and
all
of
our
staff
that
are
out
in
the
field
every
day
we
absolutely
send
in
those
addresses,
find
that
information
and
when
it
comes
to
businesses
and
the
big
lawns,
we
have
a
long
list,
but
we
are
contacting
those
business
owners,
one
by
one
face-to-face.
T
K
Q
Q
B
R
Thank
you,
mayor
engler.
Actually,
you
know
you
may
find
what
you
think
is
a
green
grass.
That's
over
watered
is
actually
dyed.
Grass
I've
seen
numerous
homeowners
out
there
with
a
little
spray
bottle,
painting
and
dyeing
the
grass
green.
So
it
looks
like
it's.
You
know
they're
over
watering
or
watering
too
much,
but
in
fact
it's
just
really
a
green
dye,
and
you
know
we
do
have
patrol
out
there
even
overnight
handing
out
citations.
So
I
just
wanted
a
clarification
on
the
drip
systems.
R
H
Yes,
it
only
there
isn't
a
time
limit,
but
it's
still
one
day
a
week
and
that's
where
we're
running
into
a
lot
of
confusion.
We've
had
dozens
and
dozens
of
calls,
because,
unfortunately,
there's
mixed
messaging
from
different
agencies
about
that,
but
in
thousand
oaks
the
rule
is
one
day
a
week,
regardless
of
whether
you
have
a
drip
system
or
a
spray
spray
system.
It's
one
day
a
week
and
the
only
difference
is
the
time
limit
for
which
you
can
water.
On
that
one
day,
all
right,
that's
it.
K
Just
to
comment
when
my
wife
and
I
drive
through
the
neighborhood,
we
see
green
lawns
and
brown
lawns
and
based
on
the
novel
red
badge
of
courage
which
the
red
badge
was
from
the
civil
war.
If
you
have
little
blood
to
prove
you've
been
in
battle,
I
call
the
brown
lawns,
the
brown
badge
of
compliance.
So,
if
you
see
a
brown
lawn,
it's
their
badge
of
compliance
which
didn't
bring
the
house
down,
but.
B
H
That's
calculated
by
cayegas,
based
on
their
budget
that
they
get
from
metropolitan,
so
it's
the
same
across
the
cayegas
districts,
for
people
who
don't
have
supplemental
water,
like
other
you
know,
groundwater
supplies
or
something
else.
So
people
in
the
cayegas
district
that
are
solely
dependent
on
the
state
water
project
or
at
106,
but
the
other
agencies
might
be
a
little
bit
different
depending
on
other
supplies.
H
It's
it's
the
total
water
that
the
city
agency
can
use
divided
by
the
total
population
that
the
agency
serves.
So
it
will
include
the
water
use
for
parks,
for
example,
and
and
schools,
etc.
So
it's
the
total
water
use
in
our
agency,
divided
by
the
number
of
people
that
are
that
live
within
our
boundaries.
B
B
B
B
H
B
B
H
Well,
so
we're
not
asking
everybody,
you
know
we
don't
have
a
mandate
that
requires
a
certain
percent
savings
from
everybody.
Our
mandate
is
on
what
you
are
and
what
what
the
restrictions
are.
So
as
long
as
those
folk
are
adhering
to
the
restrictions
I.e,
you
know
only
watering
one
day
per
day
per
week
at
maximum
etc.
Then
there
you
know,
there's
there's
no
penalties
or
that
they're
they're,
adhering
with
the
regulations.
H
So
really
you
know
what
we're
sort
of
chasing
down
the
the
violators,
the
people
that
that
haven't
made
the
transition
and
the
people
that
are
still
watering
lawns
and
the
people
that
are
not
really
paying
attention
to
the
regulations
and
yeah
for
commercial
we're.
Looking
at
turf
watering,
because
there
is
the
statewide
ban
on
ordering
non-functional
turf
and
we
have
sent
letters
to
all
the
homeowners
associations
etc,
and
we
have
called
them
so
we've
the
you
know
talking
about
the
the
efforts
that
the
city
has
made
to
reach
out
to
businesses
and
homeowners
associations.
B
G
O
B
B
H
So
it's
not
really
the
construction
of
filling
of
pools,
which
only
happens
once
and
there's
not.
You
know,
there's
not
a
huge
number
of
them
that
are
going
to
be
constructed,
that
the
issue
is
more
getting
compliance
with
the
current
regulations
so
pools
it's
very
difficult
to
monitor
because
in
general
they're
in
people's
backyards.
H
B
Okay,
is
there
any-
and
this
is
more
just
an
overhead
question-
this
is
mr
adam
mentioned
it.
If
we
don't
get
precipitation
this
winter,
we
may
be
in
a
real,
have
some
real
problems
coming
our
way?
Is
there
any
thought
from
the
governor
to
may
perhaps
make
a
water
declaration
disaster
declaration
so
that
we
can
get
some
more
help
from
the
federal
government
or
anything?
Is
there?
Is
there
any
talk
that
you've
heard
that
perhaps
we
need
to
take
the
bigger
step
of
working
on
getting
ready
in
case
we
don't
have
rain
this
winter.
H
I
think
the
governor
has
announced
some
plans
for
some
major
measures
in
terms
of
addressing
four
main
areas
that
need
attention:
the
planning
and
of
of
water
resources,
better
planning
and
distribution
of
those
more
forethought.
Then
there's
adding
more
storage
for
water
and
obviously
reducing
demand.
So
there's
there's
like
four
different
pillars
that
he's
working
from
and
I
think
he's
assigned
those
priorities
and
budgets.
I
don't
know
about
a
further
declaration
in
terms
of
emergency
and
getting
funding.
Q
Go
ahead,
mr
jackman,
just
it's
for
assistant
city
manager,
ms
hardy
again,
just
to
come
back
to
my
point,
is
that
are
the
employees
that
go
out
on
their
normal
daily
duties,
asked
specifically
by
their
managers
to
please
write
down,
addresses
the
inspectors
landscape
people?
Anyone
else
we
send
out
is
that
part
of
their
instructions?
To
please
do
this.
I'm
still
trying
to
get
clarification
on
that.
B
G
Well,
yeah
we're
being
asked
by
metropolitan
water
district
to
decrease
for
spray
sprinklers,
only
to
decrease
the
time
that
they
will
use
I'll
use
per
station
from
15
minutes
down
to
10
one
day
a
week,
so
drip
as
dr
cox
mentioned,
did
not
have
that
restriction,
so
there's
definitely
an
incentive
to
switch
to
drip
it.
It
there's
some
cost
involved.
I
will
say
that,
but
water
savings
is
significant.
We
switched
to
drip
our
water
bill
dropped
by
50,
so
I'm
sure
people
get
different
results,
but
it's
worth
it
folks.
G
G
Q
B
B
Earlier
this
year
we
discussed
it
at
council
and
asked
that
the
staff
would
please
come
back
to
us
with
some
more
information
that
we
would
be
able
to
then
digest
and
see
what
we
would
like
to
do.
So
I
think
we
have
staff
in
position
very
good.
I
do
have
mike
hoes
hauser
our
transit
program
manager,
as
well
as
cliff
finley
and
jim
mashiko.
T
Mr
mayor
members
of
the
council,
good
evening,
the
item
before
you,
as
you
mentioned,
is
a
continuation
of
the
item
that
we
brought
forth
to
council
on
june
14th
that
it
was
the
annual
crossing
guard
report
to
council
that
included
recommendations
for
the
closure
of
a
number
of
schools
that
did
not
currently
meet
the
standards
that
we
use
for
placement
of
crossing
guards.
City
council
requested
at
that
time
that
we
return
on
august
30th.
T
T
18
of
these
crossings
are
directly
adjacent
to
the
schools,
and
six
are
down
the
street
most
of
the
schools
that
we
service
have
one
location
per
campus,
but
there
are
a
few
exceptions:
ladera
and
lang
ranch
elementary
schools.
Each
have
two
crossed
locations,
acacia
elementary
school
and
redwood.
Excuse
me:
acacia
elementary
school
and
redwood
middle
school
share
two
locations
and
there
are
three
crossing
locations
for
the
sycamore
canyon
k-8
school
complex.
T
This
function,
converted
into
an
internal
process
using
the
city's
own
traffic
engineering
staff
and
starting
in
the
late
1990s.
These
recommendations
were
first
brought
forth
to
the
traffic
and
transportation
advisory
commission
and
then
finally
to
city
council
for
final
approval
and
that's
the
process
that
has
been
in
place
for
over
the
last
two
decades.
T
So
this
is
an
item
that
is
frequently
in
front
of
the
city
council
when
looking
at
the
standards
of
which
we
apply,
we
must
first
look
at
the
california
manual
on
uniform
traffic
control
devices,
which
is
california's
version
of
the
federal
standards
that
govern
the
use
of
traffic
control
device
devices
specific
to
crossing
guards.
It
sets
standards
for
placement
depending
on
the
type
of
intersection.
T
The
speed
of
the
roadway
vehicle
and
pedestrian
volumes
and,
to
quote
from
the
manual
standards,
exist
to
objectively
evaluate
the
potential
need
for
crossing
guards
to
assist
students
to
find
gaps
in
traffic
flow
to
cross.
The
street.
Most
municipal
agencies
surveyed
use
this
standard
as
the
basis
for
making
crossing
guard
determinations.
T
By
contrast,
the
state
standards
require
twice
as
many
pedestrians
and
more
vehicle
conflicts
to
cross
to
qualify
for
a
crossing
guard.
It
should
also
be
noted
that
our
agency
stations
crossing
guards
at
signalized
intersections,
which
is
contrary
to
state
guidance
in
order
to
develop
these
numbers
and
standards.
T
T
When
we
do
these
counts.
We
endeavor
to
maximize
the
number
of
counts
that
we
are
able
to
obtain.
We
count
all
pedestrians
in
grades
k
through
eight.
This
includes
anybody
on
a
skateboard,
scooter
or
bicycle,
and
we
also
count
all
vehicles
that
cross
the
crosswalk
that
conflict
with
those
pedestrians.
T
We
even
try
to
avoid
counting
on
mondays
fridays
and
those
days
where
the
schools
have
minimum
or
early
release
days
in
order
to
capture
what
is
the
true
count
and
under
both
standards
to
qualify
for
a
crossing
guard,
a
location
must
meet
the
minimum
thresholds
for
both
pedestrians
and
vehicle
volumes.
During
both
the
am
and
pm
peak
school
periods.
T
Using
the
account
summary
that
was
conducted
in
february
and
march
of
this
year-
and
I
would
note
that
these
counts
were
also
very
consistent
with
the
last
time
that
they
were
done
pre-pandemic
in
school
year.
1819
10
of
24
locations
would
not
have
a
crossing
guard
assigned
to
it,
based
on
the
currently
used
city
standards,
and
if
we
were
to
apply
the
state
standards,
that
number
would
increase
to
16
of
24
locations.
T
We
took
this
opportunity
to
quiz
the
other
agencies
on
how
they
manage
their
crossing
guard
programs.
Staff
requested
information
from
17,
municipal
and
school
districts
in
ventura
county,
as
well
as
some
adjacent
los
angeles
county.
First
question
we
asked
is:
who
funds
the
crossing
guard
program
overwhelmingly?
T
It
is
the
city
municipal
agencies
that
fund
two
agencies,
port
wynemi
and
ventura
share
this
expense
with
the
school
district
and,
in
particular,
the
city
of
ventura,
has
a
unique
program
where
the
city
of
ventura
only
funds,
those
locations
that
meet
state
standards.
If
the
school
district
wants
an
additional
locations
that
do
not
meet
the
standards,
the
school
district
has
to
fund
that
expense.
T
T
T
It's
to
be
expected,
of
course,
that
the
smaller
agencies
with
smaller
populations
have
fewer
crossings.
But
I
would
note
using,
for
example,
the
city
of
oxnard,
which
is
larger
in
population
in
the
city
of
simi
valley,
who
has
about
the
same
population
and
physical
area
of
the
city
of
thousand
oaks,
have
significantly
fewer
crossing
locations,
and
each
of
these
agencies
apply
the
state
standards
to
their
determinations.
T
T
T
Seven
agencies
do
not
exceed
state
guidelines,
in
other
words,
they
use
the
state
standards
for
crashing
guard
placement.
Two
school
districts
and
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
have
standards
which
exceed
those
state
standards
and
thousand
oaks
is
the
only
municipal
agency
and,
as
already
noted,
ventura
and
ventura
school
district
have
a
hybrid.
They
apply
both
standards
depending
on
who
is
paying
for
that
location.
T
T
We
ended
the
21-22
school
year,
short
for
five
crossing
guards
and
since
that
time,
another
six
crossing
guards
have
either
retired
resigned
or
were
not
able
to
pass
their
medical
clearances,
leaving
us
with
11
program
vacancies.
It's
a
reminder
to
the
council.
Last
year
we
had
two
schools
that
went
essentially
the
entire
year
without
crossing
guards,
because
we
were
not
able
to
recruit
sufficient
staff.
T
Those
four
schools,
as
of
today,
are
aspen
elementary
banyan
elementary
one
of
the
two
locations
at
ladera
elementary
and
then
finally
madrona
elementary,
which
is
the
one
school
that
is
in
the
county
unincorporated
area.
I'm
happy
to
report
that
at
least
for
the
ladera
elementary
school,
that
crossing
guard
is
completing
their
training.
Tomorrow
and
will
be
on
site
no
later
than
the
day
after
labor
day.
We
also
have
a
guard
selected
for
banyan
elementary,
but
due
to
a
personal
emergency.
T
R
G
G
Which
is
an
ongoing
problem?
Okay,
so
status
quo
there
and
well.
It's
certainly
apparent
that
we're
a
pretty
generous
city
when
it
comes
to
crosswalks.
We
have
more
than
anybody
else.
We
fund
more
than
anybody
else.
Our
standards
are
lower
than
what's
required
with
this
manual
for
uniform
traffic
control
devices.
Anyway.
G
Getting
to
the
point,
I
agree
with
claudia.
I
think
this
is
a
perfect
job
for
the
traffic
commission.
There's
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
here:
different
cities,
different
approaches,
I'd
like
to
see
the
traffic
commission
tackle
this
and
come
back
to
us
with
the
recommendation.
So
then
we
can
you.
B
Q
Thank
you.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
just
want
to
concur
that.
Yes,
let's
see
what
traffic
comes
up
with
and
their
recommendations
and
then
come
back
to
us
for
discussion
and
see
which
direction
we
want
to
go
and
make
some
choices
at
that
point,
I
think
that
would
probably
be
a
prudent
way
to
approach
it
initially.
K
B
R
Q
Right
now,
right
now
on
the
floor,
it's
received
the
report
and
the
very
very
well
done
report.
Thank
you,
second
is
send
it
over
to
traffic
to
get
input
and
ideas
and,
as
far
as
funding
I'm
looking
for
that
to
come
from
traffic,
do
we
continue
with
the
program?
Do
we
pass
this
off
over
a
series
of
three
four
years
to
cvusd?
Q
G
R
Q
Is
that
the
school
district
actually
has
lots
of
money?
It's
just
not
allocated
correctly.
Our
superintendent
gets
over
318
thousand
dollars
a
year.
We
have
five
superintendents
that
get
230
000
a
year.
State
only
requires
two
assistant
superintendents,
not
five,
so
it's
not
a
matter
of
resources.
In
fact,
I
understand
mr
finley,
how
how
was
that
received
by
the
school
district
regarding
partial
funding
were
they
have?
They
been
approached
talked
to
about
this
and
what
were
their
thoughts.
B
G
G
B
B
Crosswalks,
you
know
with
with
flashing
lights
and
everything
else
bulb
outs.
I
would
want
all
options
to
be
on
the
table
for
traffic,
so
they
can
come
back
to
us
with
some
really
good
recommendations,
whether
we
pay
for
it
school
district
pays
for
it
there's
a
combination.
You
know
we
could
follow
the
ventura
model.
C
B
C
F
K
B
E
Q
H
B
That's
the
end
of
our
our
department
reports.
We
do
have
a
nothing
from
our
successor
agency
to
our
redevelopment
agency,
but
we
did
have
a
national
league
of
cities,
leadership
meeting
in
august
in
beautiful
atlanta,
attended
by
myself
and
our
legislative
analyst
mina
laba
many
topics
were
covered.
This
was
a
leadership
position,
developing
group
that
went
back
to
atlanta.
B
It
was
a
very
good
set
of
topics.
We
will
have
a
set
of
recommendations
for
moving
with
the
national
league's
approach
to
a
public
safety
coming
up
in
our
next
session,
and
hopefully
we
can
move
forward
with
some
very
good
ideas
that
were
developed
back
in
atlanta.
So
thank
you
to
the
council.
Thank
you
to
our
staff
for
sending
both
myself
and
ms
laba
out
there
to
help
represent
the
city
and
move
some
of
the
ideas
that
really
make
sense
forward
to
our
our
legislature.
Back
in
d.c.
B
S
Thank
you,
mayor
engler.
Our
next
regularly
scheduled
city
council
meeting
will
be
on
tuesday
september
13th.
We
will
have
a
public
hearing
on
the
2021
cdbg
consolidated
action
plan
evaluation
report
and
we
will
also
have
a
department
report
on
the
rent
stabilization
ordinance.
