You

State

One

pursue
into
Council

Speakers

The

E
For
those

the
public

left
of
your
three

time,
I
will
quietly
say
15
seconds.
So
that
way
you
know
to
wrap
up
your
thoughts
and
comments.
If
you
were
here
in-house,
please
come
down,
I
will
have
you
speak
at
the
podium
and
the
next
person
up
I
will
call
have
a
seat
behind.
So
that
way
the
transition
is
rather
quick.
So,
first
up
on
Zoom
we
have
Mina
penc
Mina
you're
on
you
have
three
minutes.
Please
begin.
F
Hi,
thank
you
mayor
and
thank
everyone
here.
My
name
is
Mina
I
am
a
mental
health
coach
for
one
of
the
largest
non-profits
in
the
world
called
the
out
of
living
foundation,
and
we
are
collaborating
with
the
government
in
DC,
with
mayor
of
DC,
to
bring
a
huge
festival
at
the
DC
grounds,
where
more
than
100
000
people
have
registered
and
the
reason
I'm.
F
Why
I'm
bringing
this
to
the
notice
of
Taz
analysis,
because
the
founder
of
Art
of
Living
was
a
Global
Peace
humanitarian
is
coming
to
Thousand,
Oaks
and
I
request
a
meeting
with
the
mayor's
office
to
share
more
about
how
we
can
collaborate
on
the
platform
of
mental
health,
given
that
this
is
going
to
be
the
biggest
Dei
mental
health
platform
ever
in
the
history
of
the
United
States.
Thank
you.
E
E
In
what
p
is
in
pop,
he
hasn't
Papa.
Thank
you
excellent.
So
we're
going
to
pull
item
p
as
in
Papa
and
could
I
have
a
motion
to
move
the.
Oh,
we
do
have
speakers.
We
do
actually
chaos
city
clerk
to
do
me,
the
favor
and
remove
the
screen
that
we
have
never
mind.
I
figured
out
how
to
do
it.
Excellent
first
up
on
Zoom,
we
have
Pedro
Toscano
Pedro.
You
have
three
minutes,
go
ahead
and
begin.
I
A
E
I
E
I
Apologize
I
wasn't
ready.
My
name
is
Pedro
Toscano
I'm,
a
member
of
Southwest
Mountain,
States,
Regional
Council
of
Carpenters
I,
live
in
the
local
area
and
and
and
work
in
the
and
recreating
the
vicinity
of
this
project.
I
believe
I
will
be
impacted
by
the
environmental
impacts
of
this
project.
The
city
should
require
project
to
be
built
with
contractors
that
will
hire
locally
pay
prevailing
wage
and
utilize
apprentices
from
a
State
Certified
Apprenticeship
Training
Program
Workforce
requirements
reduce
construction
related
environmental
impacts,
while
benefiting
the
local
economy
and
Workforce
Development.
I
In
a
recent
study,
2020
reported
entitled
putting
California
in
the
high
road
a
jobs
and
climate
action
plan
for
2030.
The
California
Workforce
Development
board
concluded
that
investments
in
growing,
diversify
net
and
upskilling
California's
Workforce
can
positively
affect
Returns.
On
climate
mitigation
efforts,
the
South
Coast,
the
South
Coast
Air
Quality
Management
District
recently
found
that
local
hire
requirements
can
result
in
Airplane
reductions.
I
Recently,
the
state
of
California
reiterated
its
commitment
towards
encouraging
Workforce
developments
and
housing,
affordability
through
the
affordable
housing
and
High
Roads
job
act
of
2022,
otherwise
known
as
assembly
bill
2011.,
which
which
requires
projects
to
pay
workers.
A
prevailing
wage
and
hire
from
State
accredited
apprenticeship
programs
for
projects
meeting
certain,
citing
affordability
and
development
standards.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
your
time
and
I'm
sorry
I
later
in
the
beginning,.
E
J
Members,
my
name
is
Rosanna
Garen
I'm,
a
30-year
resident
of
the
city
of
Thousand
Oaks.
My
purpose
today
is
to
highlight
my
concerns
regarding
the
city's
transition
to
district-based
elections
and
the
creation
of
District
Maps
I
wanted
to
begin
by
pointing
out
two
areas
that
caused
me
the
greatest
concern
as
the
city
moved
through
this
process,
and
they
are
as
follows:
number
one
is
transparency
and
number
two:
the
role
of
the
Thousand
Oaks
Boulevard
development.
J
So
my
first
point
is
transparency.
My
expectation
was
that
during
this
process
it
would
follow
the
same
example
of
transparency
as
I
experienced
with
the
kanejo
recreation
and
Park
District
I
attended
three
out
of
the
four
meetings
and
asked
the
demographer.
If
a
point
on
the
map
of
each
city,
council
member
would
be
shown
for
each
map
submitted.
This,
for
me,
was
an
important
Point
by
providing
the
approximate
residential
area
of
each
city
council
member
on
the
map,
it
would
alleviate
any
doubt
of
incumbency
production.
This
was
not
adhered
to.
J
Maps
were
submitted
to
NDC
and
uploaded
to
the
website
without
the
knowledge
of
who
authored
the
maps.
This
is
a
particular
concern,
since
only
the
author
of
map
104
and
113
was
made
available
to
the
community
maps.
106
and
111
were
never
challenged,
as
was
the
case
of
104
and
113..
It
was
only
after
the
initial
vote
by
city
council
to
only
accept
106
and
111
and
reluctantly
add
104.
That
I
was
made
aware
that
111
was
submitted
by
a
special
interest
group
with
ties
to
the
Thousand
Oaks
Boulevard
Association.
J
Now
every
constituent
can
author
a
map.
My
concern
as
a
taxpayer
is
that
I
have
the
right
to
know
who
authored
those
maps
and
face
the
same
scrutiny
as
map
104
and
113..
All
other
Maps
were
thrown
out
that
were
submitted
by
the
demographer,
giving
me
the
appearance
right
or
wrong
that
this
was
the
whole
that
the
this
whole
process
was
an
exercise
in
futility
and
that
a
map
had
already
been
agreed
upon
long
before
the
process
began.
J
My
second
point
is
the
role
of
the
development
of
the
Thousand
Oaks
Boulevard.
This
point
came
up
time
and
again
voiced
by
one
of
the
city
council
members
as
the
reason
to
add
Westlake
Hills
neighborhood
to
area
5.
Rather
than
remain
in
talk
with
Westlake
Village,
the
reason
was
that
Westlake
Hills
should
have
a
voice
in
whatever
development
happens
along
the
boulevard,
which
is
confusing,
because
any
development
along
the
boulevard
goes
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
city
council
for
approval
and
Howard's
Westlake
Hills
have
a
voice
in
any
development.
J
K
I'm
Bonnie
shebb
good
evening
last
week,
I
tried
to
explain
to
this
Council
that
many
community
members
were
fearful
that
you
would
be
trying
to
keep
your
old
boys
club
intact,
rather
than
even
listening
to
the
community
you're
supposed
to
serve,
and
you
did
just
that.
A
convoluted
method
of
voting
was
contrived
by
native
mayor
mcme,
which
it
appeared.
No
one
understood
the
mayor
made
three
or
four
times
suggestions
to
his
Pals
that
they
can
meant,
as
should,
vote,
none
or
no
or
zero.
K
The
mayor
even
stifled
any
support
given
to
the
speakers
by
the
rest
of
the
community
in
attendance
by
eliminating
Applause.
He
knew,
however,
that
everyone
there
was
in
support
of
map
113.
that
silencing
of
support
even
included
the
well-written
and
presented
opinions
of
a
few
high
school
students
who
were
here
to
see
democracy
in
action
and
left
in
shock
and
disillusionment
along
with
the
rest
of
us.
K
K
We
are
searching
for
candidates
in
each
district
who
will
care
about
their
constituents,
no
matter
where
in
Thousand
Oaks
they
live.
We
will
put
together
a
committee
to
vet
those
future
Council
candidates
and
with
resources
from
all
over
the
district
from
dos
bientos,
where
I
live
all
the
way
to
see
the
area
by
clu
to
West,
Lake
and
all
the
other
areas,
including
the
apartments
along
the
boulevard.
K
In
the
other
areas
of
Thousand
Oaks,
we
will
be
providing
information
to
the
voters
as
each
of
their
districts
come
up
for
election.
We
are
empowered
by
your
behavior
last
week
and
this
enthusiasm
will
last
unto
us
until
all
districts
are
represented
by
people
who
care
about
all
the
special
interests.
E
L
Good
evening
missed
opportunities,
we
are
often
faced
with
missed
opportunities,
but
in
our
private
lives,
it's
usually
just
between
us
and
our
conscience.
However,
last
Tuesday
with
a
mapping
issue,
our
city
council
had
several
missed
opportunities
which
could
have
been
changed
for
the
better
one.
It
was
a
missed
Opportunity
by
our
Council
for
one
for
once
to
recognize
that
the
city
is
not
necessarily
made
up
of
primarily
white
out-of-town
business
people
who
only
care
about
having
their
own
political
influence
being
heard
by
City
Hall.
L
It
was
a
missed
Opportunity
by
the
council
majority
to
gratefully
thank
over
100
letter
writers,
plus
over
30
people
present,
who
took
time
out
of
their
busy
lives
to
attend
a
council
meeting.
Instead,
there
were
one
or
two
mumbled,
quick
thank
yous
and
not
much
else.
It
was
a
missed
Opportunity
by
the
council
to
thank
some
high
school
teens
for
speaking
out,
which
is
extremely
difficult
for
many
of
them.
Do
you
have
any
idea
how
hard
it
is
for
some
kids
to
even
get
up
in
front
of
their
classroom?
L
Let
alone
come
down
here
with
all
these
adults
in
a
strange
place,
it
was
a
missed
Opportunity
by
the
council
to
have
an
essential
conversation
with
many
Community
groups
who
provide
highly
necessary
support
to
underserved
communities.
It
was
a
missed
opportunity
for
the
council
majority
to
realize
the
selection
of
a
map
which
protects
their
incumbencies
is
highly
distasteful
to
a
large
group
of
Voters
in
this
city.
L
It
was
a
missed
Opportunity
by
the
council
majority
to
understand
this
is
not
a
partisan
issue,
but
rather
an
issue
of
trying
to
represent
the
underserved
who
need
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table
of
influence.
It
was
a
missed
Opportunity
by
the
council
majority
to
recognize
the
dedicated
public
participation
by
at
least
17
citizens,
who
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
to
provide
the
graft
draft
maps
that
were
used
by
the
paid
demographer.
L
It
was
a
missed
opportunity
that
you
could
have
used
to
recognize
those
17
people
and
have
them
come
to
a
council,
maybe
meeting,
maybe
last
week,
to
receive
a
certificate
of
appreciation
for
thanking
them
for
their
service.
Instead,
their
names
were
kept
quiet
and
they're
further
public
in
but
was
ignored.
It
was
a
missed
opportunity
for
the
council
to
have
the
map
makers
of
those
three
Focus
Maps
step
forward
and
provide
input
at
a
public
hearing
plus,
perhaps
answering
your
questions.
L
Perhaps
one
of
you
might
have
asked
the
creators
of
maps
106b
and
111b
why
there
are
maps
Justified
incumbent
protection,
15
seconds,
so
I
invite
you
not
to
miss
any
more
opportunities
to
reach
out
to
underserved
residents.
You
definitely
missed
a
great
opportunity
by
adopting
such
a
weak
map.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
Diane.
E
M
Good
evening
I'm
Diane
burchman
resident
of
Thousand
Oaks
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
UW
past
president
and
current
board
member
I'm
here
to
address
the
approval
last
Tuesday
at
map
106b
in
lieu
of
the
consideration
in
map
113.
What
I
was
witnessed
last
week
was
not
an
example
of
good
governance.
It
was
performative
at
best.
The
four
California
factors
are
to
be
considered
in
order
a
priority.
Community
interest
is
ranked
number
two
recognizing
the
underserved
and
underrepresented
communities
was
not
given
more
weight
than
304
and
not
logically,
including
Westlake.
M
Hills
in
the
Westlake
portion
also
does
not
adhere
to
giving
proper
weight
to
the
number
two
Factor
the
threshold.
To
the
extent
practical
is
not
that
high
Is,
it
feasible
capable
of
being
done
or
carried
out
with
reasonable
effort,
and,
as
you
know,
map
113
was
referred
to
by
Kristin
Parks
as
extremely
balanced
in
population
near
zero
percent.
Total
deviation,
the
Martinez
cage,
which
is
not
dissimilar
in
its
fact
pattern
than
what
we
are
contending
with
was
referred
to
at
a
prior
meeting
was
not
clearly
presented.
M
The
reason
the
plaintiffs
did
not
Prevail
was
because,
coincidentally
and
ironically,
the
passage
at
the
same
time
at
ab849,
the
fair
Maps
act
ended
up
tying
the
hand
of
the
judge,
because
the
FMA
was
not
in
effect
when
the
city
approved
its
map
and
therefore
it
was
technically
legal.
Although
judge
treat
called
the
map
absurd
and
said
quote
bluntly,
the
map
verges
on
Cell
parity
and
flouts
the
state
election
code.
M
The
Martinez
map
in
drafting
ab849
was
even
used
as
an
illustration
of
why
the
FMA
was
necessary
and,
according
to
its
author,
the
then
assembly
member
Rob
Banta.
Now
our
attorney
general,
its
goal
was
to
encourage
broad
participation
in
the
redistricting
process,
particularly
underrepresented
and
marginalized
communities.
He
is
still
working
vigorously
to
enforce
that
goal.
Think
Los
Angeles.
In
Spring
of
this
year,
San
Luis
obiso
adopted
a
new
redistrict
map.
After
repealing
the
original
map,
there
was
a
court
settlement
wherein
they
agreed
to
repeal
and
replace
redistricting
decisions
made
are
not
without
their
legal
ramification.
M
It
is
no
surprise
that
there
are
now
over
20
cities
and
counties
using
the
independent
redistricting
commissions,
collectively,
accounting
for
42
percent
of
our
state's
population.
In
the
end,
this
is
about
the
Little
D
democracy.
Listening
to
the
people
and
representing
them,
voters
choose
their
representatives,
not
Representatives,
choosing
their
voters.
The
Latino
youth
leaders
who
spoke
out
last
week
were
courageous,
articulate
and
hopeful
that
their
voices
make
a
difference.
They
left
feeling
disempowered
and
not
heard.
N
N
Second
I
was
not
pleased
that
map
113
was
labeled
a
racial
gerrymander
by
national
demographics
Corporation,
as
I
stated
at
the
7-Eleven
meeting
in
public
comment,
there
are
times
that
race
and
poverty
equate
social
economic
factors
were
used
to
draw
a
map
113
and
because
people
of
color
are
disproportionately
poor.
These
demographics
are
often
nearly
contaminants
on
maps,
but
map
113
was
definitely
not
a
racial
gerrymander.
N
Point
areas
of
lower
socioeconomic
status
often
voted
much
lower
rates,
so
it
makes
sense
to
group
them
together
so
that
their
voting
power
is
not
diluted
or
divided.
Disadvantaged
communities
must
have
a
voice
and
I
will
continue
to
advocate
for
that
voice.
So,
and
I
will
submit
these
items
for
the
record
to
show
to
demonstrate
my
point
about
it
not
being
continued
about
it
being
contiguous.
Thank
you.
O
Yes,
I'm
Patricia,
everybody
knows
me
mostly
is
Chase's.
Mom
and
I
was
very
offended
at
the
last
council
meeting.
For
two
reasons.
The
speakers,
the
whole
Council
dismissed
were
dismissive
of
the
speakers
and
to
do
teenagers
like
you
did
and
their
future
voters.
You
ought
to
be
ashamed
of
yourself
and
if
Infinity,
you
are
still
sitting
there
when
they're
on
a
voting
age
and
they
decide
to
win,
run
for
office
I
hope
they
take
you
to
the
cleaners.
Second
106b.
O
O
You
took
that
good
old
boy
mentality
from
the
south
and
you
brought
it
here
to
Thousand,
Oaks
and
I
did
not
appreciate
it,
because
Chase
is
always
treated
you
with
respect
and
that's
how
I
raised
him
he
was
raised
by
me
and
his
grandmother.
He
is
not
a
statistic
statistic.
He
is
intelligent
and
he's
been
doing
these
maps
for
years
just
for
fun
in
different
states,
so
he
did
know
what
he
was
doing
and
the
mayor
did
not
follow
proper
protocol.
O
When
it
comes
to
the
council,
when
you
were
attacking
my
son's
map,
he
should
have
stopped
it
and
said:
let
Chase
come
up
and
defend
his
map.
You
even
I
doubt
councilman
Newman,
for
being
transparent
on
Facebook
I
mean
on
Twitter.
He
he
he
would
have
went
when
any
map.
That
was
fair.
You
know
you
have
a
real
estate
investor
sitting
here
in
a
real
estate.
O
Agent
was
the
one
that
the
map
106
B,
is
a
real
estate
agent
created,
and
so
it's
all
about
who's,
gonna
fund,
your
pockets
or
or
do
what
who's
going
to
fund
your
pockets.
You
go
with
the
hi,
it's
better
your
puppets,
but
I
really
am
ashamed
of
you
I'll
Adam,
because
I've
always
defended
you.
You
know
and
I
will
never
give
anybody
on
your
benefit
of
the
doubt
again,
and
my
son
did
email
all
of
you
about
the
mistake
the
demographer
made
and
they
came
after
him
too.
The
only
one
that
responded.
E
O
E
P
F
E
H
Yeah,
thank
you.
Mayor,
I
I
have
no
statement
to
make
at
this
time.
As
you
all
know,
I
voted
against
this
motion
in
our
meeting
last
week
and
for
housekeeping
purposes
for
reasons
of
consistency
and
conscience.
I
I
wish
to
be
consistent
in
my
vote
and
I'll
move.
The
motion
and
I
will
be
after
checking
with
Council.
I
will
be
voting
against
my
own
motion
here.
Thank
you.

Q
Q
The
basic
framework
for
the
legislative
platform
rests
upon
two
principles:
local
control
are
what
many
cities
refer
to
as
home
rule.
This
principle
protects
the
city's
ability
to
govern
locally
and
independently,
without
interference
by
other
agencies,
such
as
the
state
and
number
two
local
budget,
which
is
the
protection
of
local
resources
and
funds.
To
assure
that
the
city
can
conduct
business
and
provide
services
to
our
community
without
impact
to
the
city's
general
fund.
Q
Q
This
year
our
Metropolitan
planning
organization,
Southern,
California,
Association
of
governments
or
skag,
is
involved
in
the
Regional
Housing
needs
assessment,
Arena
reform
process
with
the
state.
Also
Cal
cities
is
working
with
member
cities
on
developing
equal
taxation
structure
on
fulfillment
centers
and
will
seek
legislative
amendments
to
implement.
Q
As
for
regional
interests,
Scag
callegas,
water,
district
and
other
agencies
in
our
region
are
often
challenged
by
legislation
that
impacts
their
ability
to
provide
services
to
the
city.
The
city,
if
requested,
will
consider
sending
letters
to
support
their
issues.
An
example
of
participation
is
adding
the
city's
logo
and
mayor's
signature
to
Coalition
letters.
Q
The
city
will
not
take
positions
on
areas
where
it
does
not
have
direct
Authority
examples
are
individual
rights
such
as
the
Second
Amendment
and
reproductive
health
Federal
issues
such
as
immigration,
international
issues,
war
and
trade,
and
also
areas
where
there
is
a
bona
fide
elected
body
that
has
the
expertise
in
oversight
over
an
issue.
For
example,
the
school
board.
Q
To
help
with
advocacy
efforts,
the
city
is
an
active
member
of
the
league
of
California
cities
or
Cal
cities
and
the
national
league
of
cities,
which
serves
as
a
voice
in
Sacramento
or
Washington
DC.
On
behalf
of
municipalities,
they
Lobby
on
behalf
of
cities,
identify
key
bills
and
funding
opportunities,
provide
Education
and
Training.
They
coordinate
annual
meetings
and
conferences
to
bring
cities
together
to
cohesively,
discuss
common
issues
and
interests.
Q
To
recap:
the
city's
legislative
program
number
one
advocacy
under
the
auspices
of
the
legislative
platform
for
state
and
federal
legislation;
two,
the
pursuit
of
both
federal
and
state
funding,
resources
and
programs;
number
three
annual
meetings
with
council
members
and
state
or
federal
representatives
to
discuss
local
interests
and
issues;
number
four
participation
in
Cal,
City's,
National,
League
of
cities
and
Regional
organizations
and
number
five.
The
daily
monitoring
of
current
state
and
federal
proposals,
budgets
and
trends.
Q
To
keep
you
informed
on
what's
happening
in
Sacramento
and
Capitol
Hill
legislative
advocacy
letters
are
shared
with
you
via
Council
mail
newsletters
reports
published
by
Cal
City's
National,
League
of
cities,
Regional
organizations,
state
federal
lobbyists,
State
and
Congressional
Delegation
are
shared
in
Council
mail.
Legislative
updates
are
prepared
and
shared
via
email
on
breaking
news
policy
proposals
by
the
White
House
or
Governor
budgets
and
Trends,
and
a
legislative
dashboard
is
also
prepared,
quarterly
and
shared
via
Council
mail
that
provide
you
a
summary
of
bills
and
issues
and
their
status
as
they
move
along
the
legislative
process.
Q
E
H
I
no
questions
but
I
want
to
compliment
this
report
on
two
counts.
One.
Both
this
report
and
the
regular
legislative
updates
we
received
from
Mina
laba
are
are
somehow
managed
to
be
simultaneously
comprehensive
and
succinct,
which
is
a
neat
trick
and,
and
secondly,
I
encourage
all
residents
if
you're
interested
about
what
is
and
isn't
the
proper
role
of
city
government
there's
a
very
good
overview
of
that
report,
so
on
both
of
those
kudos
for
for
preparing
this.
Thank
you.
P
Q
Q
Unfortunately,
because
of
the
way
our
state
sees
housing
and
the
need
for
housing,
many
of
these
bills
are
moving
forward,
but
we're
still
working
with
the
league
of
California
cities
to
try
to
push
them
off.
So
where
we
are
in
the
process,
is
our
legis
State
legislatures
on
vacation?
They
come
back
for
the
last
six
weeks
of
Bill
cycles
and
hearings,
and
then
these
bills
will
go
to
the
governor.
So
we
are
still
on
the
offensive.
We're
still
looking
to
see
where
these
bills
go
and
we
will
keep
you
posted
on
where
they
are.
P
E
Thank
you,
Mina
I
just
want
to
compliment
you
again,
what
a
wonderful
job
that
you
do,
keeping
us
organized,
whether
it
be
in
Washington,
DC
or
Sacramento
that
oftentimes
the
other
cities
who
don't
have
your
talent
in
their
City.
Look
to
us
and
say
what
does
mina
say
and
it's
a
high
compliment
for
for
you
from
other
cities.
Looking
your
way,
I
do
have
comments
from
people
asking
me
as
a
now
mayor,
former
council
member
and
soon
to
be
council
member.
E
Is
that
what's
your
biggest
challenge
and
I
can
honestly
say
it's
navigating
the
imposition
of
Sacramento
has
upon
my
city,
as
well
as
the
other
cities
in
California,
where
they
know
best
on
how
to
run
their
our
cities
here
in
California.
They
want
us
to
solve
their
problems
that
they
created
and
it's
difficult
when
you've
got
a
city
of
1500
people
and
their
solution
is
more
suitable
for
one
that
has
eight
million.
E
B
B
That
interests
me
because
in
my
mind
it's
a
lot
easier
to
keep
people
in
affordable
housing
than
to
try
to
build
affordable
housing,
not
that
I'm
against
building
affordable
housing
is
absolutely
necessary,
but
I.
You
know,
I
I
read
a
report
recently
on
homelessness
in
the
state
of
California,
and
it
talked
about
the
root
cause
with
a
lot
of
people
were
just
priced
out
of
their
homes,
simply
priced
out.
Maybe
their
their
rent
was
1500.
It
was
raised
to
1900,
they
couldn't
meet,
they
couldn't
meet
the
Gap.
The
400
is
different.
B
They
couldn't
couldn't
raise
it,
but
I
do
understand
that
our
county
has
funds
that
can
help
people
meet
that
Gap
and
keep
them
in
that
affordable
housing
and
to
me,
that's
a
lot
cheaper
and
effective
to
keep
somebody
in
affordable
housing
than
to
have
them
leave
and
have
to
create
it
for
them.
Anyway.
What
I'm?
Getting
at
is,
we
talked
about
the
mobile
home
parks
last
time
and
potential
for
ownership.
B
I
mean
that
is
true,
affordable
housing
here
in
the
city
of
Thousand
Oaks,
I,
wonder
if
any
of
this
2.7
billion
might
be
approached
in
the
spirit
of
the
preservation
of
existing,
affordable
housing
when
it
comes
to
some
of
our
mobile
home
park
residents
owning
the
land
underneath
their
unit,
which
would
certainly
establish
them
in
a
much
more
secure
fashion
than
where
they
are
now
I.
Don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
I
don't
know
if
these
funds
will
qualify
for
that
kind
of
thing.
B
G
G
Assistant
city
manager,
ingard
Hardy,
is
working
quite
a
bit
with
the
rapid
rehousing
program
through
the
Continuum
of
Care
and
landlord
engagement
program
and
a
lot
of
those
funds
are
directed
through
the
continuums
of
care
to
those
entities,
because
you're
correct
is
that
catching
people
before
they
become
homeless,
has
been
a
real
focus
and
priority
I
believe
we
actually
are
going
to
have
representatives
from
those
different
areas
speak
under
special
presentations
in
the
in
the
fall
to
provide
some
additional
information.
Is
that
correct.
R
Yes,
that's
correct
I'm,
currently
working
with
the
continue
of
care
to
provide
an
update
to
the
city
council
and
some
of
the
other
efforts
related
to
homelessness.
As
Drew
mentioned,
keeping
people
in
their
homes
is
the
least
expensive
route
to
go
so
they'll
be
prepared
to
provide
the
city
council
with
an
update
on
some
of
the
other
programs.
R
B
Good
I
look
forward
to
hearing
that.
You
know
I
hate,
to
think
that
someone
would
lose
their
apartment
literally
over
a
couple
hundred
dollars
and
become
homeless,
when
somehow
we
could
step
in
and
make
up
that
Gap
and
keep
them
there
in
the
long
run.
It
would
save
everybody
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
money
thanks
Ingrid.
P
B
E
E
S
Thank
you
mayor
members
of
the
council.
It
is
appropriate
to
take
both
item
15a
and
15b
together
as
they
are
related
items.
These
items
address
the
compensation
of
the
city
manager
and
City
attorney.
That's
why
they've
stepped
away
from
the
dice
state
law
requires
the
council
to
take
these
items
up
as
a
discussion
agenda
item
the
city
manager
and
City
attorney
are
employed
to
employment
agreements
with
the
city.
These
employees
report
directly
to
the
council,
and
there
are
agreements,
require
the
city
council
to
review
their
performance
annually
on
July
11
2023.
S
S
The
council
provided
the
mayor
and
Human
Resources
Director
with
authority
to
negotiate
compensation
adjustments.
The
resolutions
before
you
contain
amendments
to
the
city
manager
and
City
attorney
agreements.
A
non-substantive
correction
was
made
to
the
City
attorney
agreement,
amendment
that
was
in
your
packet.
The
resolutions
contain
a
six
percent
salary
increase
for
fiscal
year
2324
and
a
four
percent
salary
increase
for
fiscal
year
24.25..
S
This
increase
is
consistent
with
compensation
increases
provided
to
employees
across
the
organization
and
is
within
the
authority
provided
by
the
city
council.
The
recommendation
is
to
approve
both
the
resolution
in
15a
and
the
resolution
in
15b
and
find
that
the
actions
are
not
a
project
subject
to
sequa
staff
is
available
for
any
questions.
E
B
B
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
I'll
just
say
that
I
I've
seen
a
lot
accomplished
in
the
city
over
the
last
year
or
two
we've
made
some
some
things
happen.
Just
Leaps
and
Bounds
and
I
can
congratulate
Drew
and
Tracy,
and
the
staff
for
helping
this
make
that
happen
and
and
as
far
as
the
City
attorney
goes,
I've
never
seen
so
many
challenges
that
a
City
attorney
faces
these
days.
Her
plate
is
full
with
all
the
things
that
are
that
are
happening,
so
I
would
move.
B
P
C
E
E
G
Thank
you,
mayor,
McNamee
and
all
right.
This
is
the
last
meeting
of
the
first
kind
of
term
of
the
year,
so
we're
entering
Council
recess
did
have
to
pick
up
an
extra
meeting
here
to
accomplish
some
of
the
things
that
we
had
in
front
of
us,
but
and
our
next
meeting
will
be
Tuesday,
the
third,
the
12th
of
September.
The
meeting
is
still
taking
shape
for
that
evening,
but
we
know
we
will
have
a
department
report
on
senior
mobile
home
parks
and
a
public
hearing
on
cdbg
for
our
Caper.
