Description
Thousand Oaks City Council Meeting 11/16/21
A
C
A
A
A
One
year
after
graduating
from
high
school,
his
significant
decorations
include
the
eame
campaign
medal
with
two
battle
stars:
the
combat
infantryman
badge
and
the
good
conduct
medal
after
returning
from
service
charles
worked
with
the
ali
unified
school
district,
as
a
regional
director
taught
at
the
college
level
until
until
his
retirement
in
2007.,
charles
and
his
wife
of
79
years,
I
mean
75
years.
Imagine
75
years
reside
in
thousand
oaks
and
we
want
to
thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
our
hearts
for
your
service.
A
Now.
Our
second
legion
of
honor
honoree
is
private,
first
class
aldon
knute,
who
served
in
the
us
army
through
world
war
ii.
Mr
knute
was
ordered
to
report
to
the
95th
infantry
division,
where
he
worked
to
liberate
the
heavily
fortified
city
of
mets.
In
france
he
suffered
from
trench
foot
and
after
nine
months
of
hospitalization,
he
was
discharged
with
50
percent
disability.
A
He
was
appointed
a
night
in
the
french
legion
of
honor
in
2019,
mr
knute
and
his
wife,
margaret
also
in
thousand
oaks.
And
again
we
thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
our
hearts
for
your
service,
mr
knute,
and
we
were
not
able
to
be
with
you
last
year
when
you
were
awarded
the
highest
medal
that
france
has
to
offer,
both
in
military
or
civilian
life,
and
so
we
decided
that,
while
we
are
then
also
honoring
your
friend
and
neighbor,
we
would
honor
you
as
well.
C
A
A
A
A
H
Well,
madam
mayor,
thank
you
very
very
much
for
this
opportunity
and
I
thank
you
for
these
recognition,
given
in
thousand
oaks
and,
as
I
said
to
the
mayor,
because
of
this,
you
have
all
earned
my
vote
because
we
do
live
here
in
thousand
oaks.
We're
happy
to
do
that.
I
want
to
say
just
a
very
few
words
about
our
experience
in
france.
H
H
And
then
I
discovered,
with
that
background
of
france,
that
we
were
able.
The
french
had
gotten
reorganized,
they
were
free
of
germany
and
they
we
could
have
passes
to
paris
a
three-day
pass
to
paris.
Well,
that's
how
I
ended
my
career,
a
three-day
pass
to
paris.
It
was
wonderful.
We
got
to
ride
the
subway
without
tr.
H
E
E
E
E
A
A
F
A
C
D
A
And
I
am
pleased
to
introduce
this
month's
recipient
of
our
community
commitment
award,
which
is
always
one
of
my
favorites.
Her
name
is
rosalinda
vint.
Miss
vint
serves
as
the
president
and
ceo
of
the
non-profit
organization,
women
of
substance
and
men
of
honor
in
thousand
oaks
as
a
child.
Mrs
vint
entered
the
foster
care
system
and
worked
hard
to
make
a
strong
path
for
herself.
A
She
worked
in
corporate
america
for
many
years
before,
leaving
her
career
and
dedicating
her
life
to
serving
youth
in
need.
She
has
served
and
supported
thousands
of
youth
through
housing,
employment,
education,
support,
transitional
services
and
mentorship
as
they
transition
out
of
the
foster
care
system.
A
Ms
vint
is
the
embodiment
of
patience,
empathy
and
understanding
and
has
done
a
tremendous
job
supporting
our
young
people
in
the
city
of
thousand
oaks.
Congratulations!
Rosalinda
for
receiving
the
community
commitment
award
for
the
month
of
november.
We
are
so
very
thankful
to
have
leaders
like
you
working
hard
to
advance
our
community
and
before
I
call
you
up
to
the
podium
I'd
like
to
present
a
video
about
you.
A
Hi,
I'm
claudia
bill
de
la
pena,
mayor
of
the
city
of
thousand
oaks,
and
we
are
here
today
with
the
november
honoree
of
our
wonderful
community
commitment
award
and
she
is
the
amazing
rosalinda
vint
executive
director
of
the
nonprofit
organization,
women
of
substance,
men
of
honor
hi
rosalinda.
How
are
you
good?
Thank
you.
A
So
much
for
having
me
I'm
so
excited
the
community
commitment
award
is
an
award
in
which
we
highlight
persons
who
have
given
so
much
behind
the
scenes
and
have
not
been
recognized
all
that
much
if
at
all,
but
your
organization
continued
through
the
pandemic
to
re
to
help
foster
youth
persons
who
have
aged
out
of
foster
care.
For
example,
you
are
different
from
other
organizations
in
that
you
offer
wrap-around
services
and
help
these
kids
and
young
adults
get
back
on
their
feet.
Tell
us
more
about
what
you've
done
well,.
J
And
what
has
happened
is
that
they,
unlike
many
didn't,
have
parents
that
they
could
be
locked
down
with
they
didn't
have
family,
we
became
their
family,
the
staff
at
their
group
homes
were
their
family
or
they
were
alone
in
their
apartments,
and
so
what
we
did
was
we
gave
that
hand
up.
We
made
sure
that
they
had
clothing.
We
made
sure
that
they
had
supplies.
We
made
sure
that
they
had
rides
to
their
mental
health
physicians.
It
was
an
honor
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
coming
from
foster
care.
A
J
Of
our
success
stories
have
been
youth
that
we
serve
in
our
housing
program
that
they
have
lived
there
and
they've
been
able
to
go
on
and
get
their
own
housing.
Some
of
our
other
success
stories
are
them
coming
out
of
the
division
of
juvenile
justice,
getting
married
having
a
family,
a
working
citizen,
a
working
able
law
abiding
citizen.
We
have
some
that
are
firefighters
and
we
have
some
that
are
the
unsung
heroes.
They
are
the
ones
that
come
here
day
in
and
day
out,
they'll
donate
for
halloween
they'll
clean
the
facility.
A
So
rosalinda
mentioned
one
of
the
success
stories
and
he
is
carlos
barba
and
he
is
with
us
today.
Carlos
you
mentioned
also
to
me
that
you
had
some
struggles
in
life
but
you're
here,
a
productive
citizen
of
the
community
productive
citizen
of
the
world-
and
you
know
we,
you
know
I'm
looking
at
all
these
paintings
that
were
completed
and
created
by
foster
youth
and
they
depict
the
struggles
that
foster
youth
often
encounter.
C
You
know
I
was
basically
on
that
path.
On
that
way,
I
ended
up
doing
some
time
where
I
met
rosalinda
in
the
ventura
youth
correctional
facility.
I
took
her
course.
I
graduated
her
course,
and
it
really
just
opened
my
eyes
and
she
just
she
offered
her
services
her
helping
hand-
and
I
I
found
myself
in
a
place
where
I
decided
help-
was
going
to
be
necessary,
so
I
reached
out
to
her
and
I've
been
attending
her
programs
and
helping
out
the
youth
and
helping
out
any
which
I
any
which
way
I
can.
K
So
I
nominated
you
rosalinda,
because
I
know
one
you're
so
deserving
of
this
award,
your
heart
for
not
just
the
youth
that
you
serve,
but
for
the
community
is
unmatched,
and
I
just
wanted
to
do
this
small
gesture
of
all
the
great
things
that
you've
done.
I
just
knew
that
you
deserved
to
be
nominated,
as
you
mentioned,
you've
helped
so
many
youth,
and
not
just
with
mentoring,
but
with
housing
and
all
of
the
alpha
leadership
support
and
the
transitional
services.
K
I
mean
you
really
put
in
your
hard
work,
seven
days
a
week
365
days
of
the
year.
I
think
maybe
you
take
one
day
to
yourself
and
I
just
wanted
you
to
know
how
much
the
community
loves
you,
how
much
you've
done
for
the
youth-
and
this
is
the
least
that
I
can
do
so.
It's
my
honor
to
nominate
you
and
I'm
just
so
grateful
that
we're
able
to
do
this
today,
for
you.
A
A
J
J
J
I
would
also
want
to
say,
on
behalf
of
women
of
substance,
men
of
honor.
It's
not
just
me,
I'm
just
the
face,
but
there's
so
many
volunteers
from
our
city,
the
city
of
thousand
oaks,
that
rally
around
us
that
come
in
at
any
time
to
help
that
pray
for
us
that
serve
with
us
that
love
on
the
kids
and
that
appreciate
all
that
you
are
doing
here
for
us.
So
we
want
to
say
on
behalf
of
women
of
substance,
men
of
honor.
J
A
Thank
you,
thank
you
so
very
much
and
we
wish
you
all
the
best,
hopefully
for
another
successful
year,
where
you
can
help
other
youth
foster
youth,
really,
you
know,
get
on
their
feet
once
they
age
out,
so
that
they're
not
left
behind.
Thank
you
appreciate
that,
and
with
that
we
are
concluding
our
special
presentations.
B
This
is
a
time
and
place
for
public
comments
for
those
wishing
to
address
the
city
council
regarding
items
on
the
agenda
or
on
a
subject
within
the
city's
jurisdiction.
All
remarks
should
be
addressed
to
the
council
as
a
whole.
Speakers
are
requested
to
state
their
name
and
community
residence
for
the
record
under
state
law.
Public
comment
matters
may
not
be
considered
by
the
council
unless
listed
on
the
agenda,
but
may
be
referred
to
the
city
manager
for
administrative
follow-up.
B
L
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
mayor
mayor,
pro
tem
and
esteem
council
members.
My
name
is
michael
morrissette.
I
live
in
simi
valley.
I
am
here
tonight
to
represent
the
artist
ali
linajad
he's
the
artist
who
created
the
sculptures
that
we
see
presently
on
a
30-day
temporary
exhibit
in
front
of
the
civic
arts.
L
L
C
L
As
a
subject
of
discussion,
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
create
some
debate
on
whether
or
not
there
is
another
or
finding,
I
should
say
finding
the
permanent
home
location
for
the
art.
So
just
wanted
to
remind
you
and
the
community
that
the
art
was
not
specifically
created
for
the
families,
but
it
was
created
for
the
community.
L
A
A
G
We
think
that
these
types
of
installations
help
with
the
future
adaptation
at
times
when
we
have
public
safety,
power,
shutoffs
and
other
times
when
the
grid
may
be
insecure.
So
we
should
be
investing
in
battery
backup
storage
at
all
major
and
critical
facilities,
and
I'm
very
glad
to
see
my
city
taking
lead
on
this
forward.
Thinking
approach.
Thank
you
so
much
I'll
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
M
Hello,
my
name
is
clint
fultz,
I'm
a
member
of
the
canado
climate
coalition,
and
I
live
in
thousand
oaks.
I'd
like
to
commend
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
for
considering
the
implementation
of
battery
energy
storage
systems
and
microgrid
infrastructure.
This
is
absolutely
a
move
in
the
right
direction.
These
microgrid
systems
will
save
money
and,
unlike
diesel,
backup
generators
won't
make
greenhouse
gases
or
create
noise
pollution.
A
microgrid
can
also
benefit
neighbors
when
it's
used
to
strengthen
the
broader
electrical
grid.
Microgrids
can
augment
normal
grid
operation
by
participating
in
demand,
response
programs
or
providing
ancillary
services.
M
Microgrids
can
also
help
ease
strain
on
the
central
grid
during
periods
of
peak
demand.
They
act
as
an
additional
resource
that
grid
operators
can
call
upon
during
high
demand
times.
I
urge
the
city
to
make
these
and
additional
microgrid
systems
available
to
the
community
during
emergencies
to
aid
in
communication
and
allow
community
members
to
charge
their
cell
phones.
Microgrids
could
also
be
used
to
provide
cooling
centers
during
heat
waves,
which
sometimes
result
in
power
outages.
So
thank
you
for
considering
the
implementation
of
these
microgrids
and
working
towards
future
proofing,
our
community.
G
We
have
to
be
diligent
about
identifying
ways
to
migrate
away
from
fossil
fuels
in
order
to
reverse
global
warming.
Microgrids
provide
clean
energy,
reducing
the
environmental
impact
of
power
generation
in
our
city's
carbon
footprint,
and
since
our
community
is
experienced,
wildfly,
wildfires
and
power
shut-offs,
we
require
critical
infrastructure
that
increases
reliability
and
resilience.
G
A
microgrid
can
continue
serving
our
community
when
the
grid
is
down
while
reliability
is
about.
Keeping
the
power
on
resilience
describes
the
ability
to
avoid
power
outages
in
the
first
place.
An
added
bonus
for
our
utility
company
is
that
microget's
grids
improve
the
operation
and
stability
of
the
regional
electrical
grid.
G
Lastly,
microgrids
can
lower
energy
costs
for
our
city
and,
ultimately
its
residents,
and
that's
not
just
the
cost
of
operations,
but
the
subsequent
expenses
that
may
result
when
a
facility
is
unable
to
function
due
to
a
power
shut-off.
So
I
hope
that
the
city
continues
to
explore
these
opportunities
and
that
there
will
be
many
more
microgrid
installations.
A

I
just
wanted
to
introduce
chair
short
of
our
investment
review
committee,
he'll,
be
giving
the
presentation
tonight
on
behalf
of
the
committee
members,
and
I
just
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
our
committee
members
for
their
dedication
and
their
service
to
the
city
and
serving
on
the
investment
review
committee.
Over
the
past
year,
staff
really
appreciates
their
insightful
questions
and
our
discussions
that
we
have
and
so
again
just
wanted
to
send
our
appreciation
and
thanks
to
all
the
committee
members
for
sure
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr.
N
N
Currently,
members
are
myself:
jim
hoagland
mark
kroenke
and
cody
sorensen,
a
vacancy
was
created
by
richard
law's
resignation
in
july,
his
term,
my
term
and
mark
cronky's
term
expire
in
december.
On
october,
26
city
council
appointed
two
new
members
and
reimported
myself
to
two-year
terms
the
terms
for
davin
carey
and
anthony
gonzalez
start
january.
1St,
2022.
N
N
The
committee
presented
its
last
annual
report
to
city
council
on
december
fifteenth
twenty
twenty.
The
committee
also
met
its
schedule
four
times
during
this
past
year,
the
city's
portfolio
yield
decreased
by
45
pesos
points.
Since
our
last
report,
the
decrease
in
the
yield
reduces
the
annual
interest
income
by
almost
1
million
in
2020.
The
fed
rate
decreased
to
near
zero
with
the
portfolio's
five-year
time
horizon
and
laddered
maturities.
N
The
city's
yield
will
generally
follow
the
direction
of
the
fed
fund
rates,
but
the
yield
will
move
slower
both
when
rates
are
decreasing
and
when
they
are
increasing.
Recent
forecasts
suggest
that
the
fed
rates
will
remain
near
zero
through
mid
2022,
while
the
economy
recovers
from
the
bantamic
and
the
supply
chain
issues.
N
N
N
The
city's
investment
policy
currently
prohibits
the
purchase
of
commercial
paper
and
medium-term
corporate
notes
issued
as
private
placements.
This
restriction
was
due
to
the
security
and
exchange
commission
regulations
rather
than
due
to
california
law
or
an
inherent
credit
risk
of
these
investments.
N
A
A
C
A
B
O
O
So
why
do
we
need
to
update
our
ordinance?
Well,
the
city
is
required
to
prepare
and
file
with
the
state,
an
urban
water
management
plan,
which
is
a
long-term
water
resources
planning
document.
It's
updated
every
five
years.
The
urban
water
management
plan
includes
a
water
shortage
contingency
plan
as
one
of
its
components.
O
O
We'll
briefly
review
the
measures
at
each
savings
level.
In
addition
to
the
current
three
level
system,
we
have
permanent
water
conservation
measures
that
we
can
think
of
as
a
sort
of
level
zero.
These
measures
transition
over
to
the
new
level
one
measures
with
a
couple
of
minor
changes,
instead
of
allowing
irrigation
seven
days
a
week.
O
O
Measures
become
increasingly
severe
as
we
move
to
savings
requirements
of
40
percent
or
more.
At
this
level,
residents
are
limited
to
hand
watering
only
and
commercial
watering
is
limited
to
one
day
a
week
for
trees
and
shrubs.
Only
at
this
level,
no
turf
watering
is
permitted.
Additionally,
no
meters
would
be
available
for
new
construction.
O
O
Our
recommendation
tonight
is
to
adopt
the
ordinance
to
include
the
new
water
shortage
contingency
plan
levels
and
to
adopt
the
resolution
asking
for
a
15
percent
water
use
reduction
and
declaring
a
water
shortage
under
level
1
of
the
existing
ordinance,
because
the
revised
ordinance
would
not
go
into
effect
until
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
The
shortage
must
be
declared
under
the
existing
ordinance,
which
will
automatically
transition
to
level
two
of
the
new
ordinance
once
that
comes
into
effect.
O
O
A
O
So
since
then,
the
state
is
actually
in
the
midst
of
a
water
allocation
study
itself,
which
will
conclude
in
the
next
couple
of
months
and
as
a
result
of
that,
the
city
water
agency,
along
with
all
the
other
agencies
in
the
state,
will
be
given
an
a
water
allocation
budget
by
the
state.
So
essentially,
the
agency
as
a
whole
will
be
allocated
a
certain
allowance
of
water.
O
Now
how
that
plays
what
what
happens
from
there
depends
obviously
on
what
that
allocation
is
compared
to
our
traditional
historical
water
use
and
we've
been
preparing
for
that.
We
do.
Actually.
We
have
actually
joined
that
california,
data
collaborative
and
we've
been
using
that
tool
to
map
out
water
use
at
a
parcel
level
and
to
compare
that
with
what
we
expect
to
get
as
an
allocation
from
the
state.
O
O
Targeted
outreach
to
customers
that
exceeded
median
median
use
by
you
know
maybe
a
factor
of
two
or
something
so
in
other
words,
we
would
target
our
how
high
users,
first
with
education
and
outreach
first
to
make
them
aware
of
their
water
use
compared
to
others
and
to
try
to
help
them
and
offer
city
support,
to
enable
them
to
identify
whether
they
have
leaks
or
to
try
to
incentivize
them
and
bring
them
aware
of
rebate
programs
where
they
might
reduce
their
water
use.
So
that
would
be.
D
You,
madam
mayor
for
apartment
complexes,
which
some
units
are
individually
monitored,
or
they
have
meters
attached
to
them.
Others
it's
for
the
entire
apartment,
complex.
Just
as
one
meter,
our
apartment
complex
is
being
asked
to
also
do
the
conservation
and
how
do
we
help
those
that
are
under
one
meter
for
the
entire
complex
versus
individual
apartments?
O
O
We
would
compare
like
properties
so
compare
the
use
of
different
multi-family
units
and
obviously
do
outreach
accordingly.
So
to
some
extent
the
outreach
within
a
multi-family
complex
would
be
the
responsibility
of
that
property
manager,
but
obviously
we
would
do
our
best
to
help
the
residents
of
that,
as
well
as
the
property
manager
in
identifying
where
water
savings
might
be
available.
D
A
F
F
Yes,
I
have
to
reset
my
sprinklers
right
away
and,
as
I
read
the
staff
report,
it
was
interesting
to
see
that
70
of
our
water
use
comes
from
outdoors,
irrigating,
lawns
and
gardens
and
swimming
pools
and
the
like.
So
this
this
will
take
some
education
on
our
part
for
the
public,
but
I
know
you
have
some
plans
for
that,
so
you
know
I
could
take
this
off.
F
O
F
C
O
So,
generally
speaking,
we've
been
partnering
with
cayegas
water,
district
and
they've
been
doing
a
lot
of
the
promotion
in
terms
of
drought.
Tolerant
landscaping
in
terms
of
what's
the
existing
turf
rebate
is
about
they're,
supplementing
that
actually
it's
about
three
dollars
a
square
foot
right
now.
If
people
replace
the
lawns
with
lower
water
use
alternatives,
so
we
will
be
promoting
those
along
with
our
sister
agencies
and
along
with
the
water
district
kiegas.
Well,.
C
P
So
councilmember
jones,
our
communications
manager,
alexandra
south,
is
here
she's
already
been
meeting
with
the
team
in
public
works.
We'll
have
a
full
scale,
as
we
do
with
all
things
like
that's
a
full
scale.
Communications
and
marketing
plan
would
be
social
media,
video
production,
newsletters,
electronic
publications
and
we'll
have
decals
on
the
side
of
vehicles.
P
We
have
all
sorts
of
different
things
planned,
so
you
won't
really
be
able
to
turn
anywhere
without
seeing
messaging
around
around
this,
and
there
will
be
a
hotline
number
as
it
was
the
last
time,
those
of
you
that
are
around
or
know
when
you
see
a
situation
that
needs
to
be
reported.
It
is
a
hotline
and
we
can
call
that
and
attempt
to
achieve
compliance
when
we
see
those
situations.
C
Yeah
I
was
talking
to
our
esteemed
public
works
director,
mr
finley
earlier,
and
telling
him
that
I
have
a
neighborhood
that
is
letting
a
little
bit
too
much
water
go
on
his
lawn,
because
I
have
a
stream
that
is
coming
by
the
house.
Occasionally,
and
I've
always
been
resident
reticent
to
you
know,
go
over
to
a
neighbor
and
tell
them
to
do
something
so,
but
cliff
you
said
there
is
a.
O
The
person
residents
can
report
through
the
connectio
application,
that's
on
our
website
and
that's
a
mobile,
app
and
they'll
send
the
folks
from
the
water
operations
team
out
and
generally
people
get
a
door
hanger
as
kind
of
a
first
warning
just
to
alert
them
that
it's
been
noticed
and
off.
Then
we
get
very
good
results.
Just
from
that,
first
outreach.
O
A
F
O
O
F
O
O
F
F
Who
was
a
mass
man
if
I,
if
I
may,
just
for
the
benefit
of
the
public,
our
city
is
100
dependent
on
imported
water
from
the
metropolitan
water
district,
which
is
been
reliable,
but
you
know
it's
nice
to
have
a
little
water
independence
and
that's
why
we're
going
back
to
our
groundwater.
You
know
before
we
imported
water.
F
However,
the
water
is
not
potable
and
it
has
to
be
dissalted,
I
believe,
is
the
term
and
so
we're
building
a
little
desalter
plant
out
there
to
do
just
that.
So
that'll
give
us
a
little
water
independence.
It
said
that
we
could
get.
Maybe
10
of
our
water
needs
less
than
ten
party
pooper
make
it
five
anyway
between
five
and
ten.
I
don't
know
the
exact
number,
but
we'll
take
it.
D
Mayor
mr
mcnamee,
just
to
dovetail
upon
your
observation.
There
is
that
we're
actually
looking
at
and
the
city
is
cooperating
with
los
virginis
water
system
to
take
that
water,
send
it
over
to
los
virginis
for
the
reverse
osmosis
plant
that
they're
developing
as
well
as
three
four
five
months
out
of
the
year,
send
some
of
our
wastewater
that's
been
treated
and
normally
sent
out
into
nature.
D
We
can
send
that
up
there
as
well
with
the
dilution
and
take
advantage
of
the
ro
plant
at
los
virginis,
so
we
don't
have
to
construct
one
ourselves,
which
is
a
nice
win-win,
water's
become
a
regional
issue,
not
a
city
issue
and
we're
working
cooperatively
and
city
project
manager.
Cliff
finley
is
spearheading
that
with
his
department
to
make
this
a
win-win
for
everybody
and
water
needs
to
be
moved
around
because
it's
become
more
and
more
scarce
as
time
goes
on.
So
I'm
very
excited
about
the
opportunities.
D
A
M
Madam
mayor
council,
good
evening,
the
the
moral
of
this
story
is
there's.
We
have
a
lot
of
options
and
what
we're
really
looking
at
right
now
is
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
best
option
is
for
the
residents
of
thousand
oaks
from
a
cost
standpoint
from
a
regional
standpoint,
et
cetera,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
decision
we
make
about
with
our
water
is
is
a
benefit,
the
most
benefit
to
the
city.
A
D
A
P
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
bill
de
la
pena,
we'll
be
back
here
two
weeks
from
tonight,

30th
of
november,

single
agenda
item
following
up
on
planning
commission's
action
last
night,
a
public
hearing
on
the
lakes
residential
proposal.
We

a
couple
of
consent.
Calendar
items
