Description
Thousand Oaks City Council Meeting 12/14/21
A
A
A
A
A
B
C
B
I
was
worried
if
I'd
have
a
perfect
meeting
and
that
got
out
of
the
way
really
fast.
B
As
I
was
saying,
I
think
we're
gonna
move
item
11a,
which
is
the
community
grants
up
to
right
after
the
the
consent
calendar.
So
but
first
we
have
a
couple
of
really
great
presentations
to
make
and
let
me
move
over
to
the
other
podium
and
we'll
do
some
nice
presentations.
B
It's
great
to
see
so
many
people
in
the
audience
and
to
have
so
many
of
our
our
younger
members
of
our
community
here
is-
is
very
exciting
for
us,
so
I'll
be
right
over
there.
B
So
we're
going
to
have
a
great
presentation,
not
actually
two
presentations
for
our
youth
of
our
community,
who
have
really
shown
some
excellence.
Our
first
presentation
and
I'd
like
to
welcome
the
mayor
players
and
coaches
of
the
thousand
oaks
girls,
softball
association,
10.
U
all-star
team
to
the
podium!
If
you
can
come
on
down.
B
A
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
so
much
everyone
for
having
us.
This
is
our
10u
all-star
team
from
thousand
oaks
girls
softball.
They
won
our
local
district
tournament.
It
came
in
fourth
in
the
state
tournament
and
then
they
won
the
national
championship
for
their
age
division.
A
They
worked
very
hard,
five
or
probably
six
days
a
week
when
you,
when
it
comes
down
to
practices
and
games,
it's
pretty
was
pretty
much
their
whole
summer,
but
they
did
it
with
a
smile
and
the
amount
of
hard
work
and
effort
they
put
in
was
just
truly
mind-blowing
to
me
not
only
as
a
coach,
but
as
a
parent
as
well.
A
A
They
were
pretty
impressive
and
all
these
girls
are
going
to
go
on
to
going
to
our
local
high
schools
here
in
thousand
oaks
and
the
canal
valley
unified
school
district.
So
I
would
like
to
introduce
all
these
girls
individually,
so
all
right,
all
right.
So
first
up,
we've
got
addie
mackins.
A
B
B
This
this
order,
even
better.
B
Okay,
thank
you
all
for
coming
down
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
very
impressed
with
this
group
of
athletes
here
on
november
12th,
the
warriors
won
their
first
cif
southern
section,
open
division
championship
in
in
30
years,
so
you
guys
are
the
first
in
30
years,
which
was
great,
but
that's
not
your
only
accomplishment.
B
B
G
First
of
all,
we
had-
oh
I'm
sorry
due
to
cove,
but
everything
was
a
little
tricky.
We
ended
up
last
season,
condensing
the
boys
and
girls
into
one
season
and
that
got
to
be
kind
of
tough
to
do,
but
our
girls
just
kind
of
rose
up
and
in
the
spring,
won
their
first
state
regional
championship.
G
So
we
had
boys
and
girls
going
on.
At
the
same
time,
the
girls
excelled
one,
and
then
we
started
took
about
a
month
off,
started
right
away
in
the
summer,
got
ready,
and
then
this
season
won
the
cif
open
title.
The
next
week
won
the
state
regional
championship
again
to
go
back
to
back
on.
As
I
told
the
girls
and
my
parents
probably
aged
me
about
10
years,
but
we
were
able
to
do
it,
which
is
quite
exciting.
Just
an
unbelievable
group
of
kids.
We
have
freshmen
that
made
the
team.
G
We
have
seniors
and
I'll
introduce
one
or
two
that
are
going
to
be
playing
at
the
next
level,
which
is
quite
exciting,
not
that
I
had
a
lot
to
do
with
that,
but
they
work
hard
they're.
Unbelievably
great
students,
many
play
instruments
so
they're.
Just
they're
just
fantastically
well
well-rounded,
kids,
and
so
I
don't
forget.
I
want
to
thank
coach
diane,
my
assistant,
who
helped
me
every
step
of
the
way
so.
G
G
I
think
abby's,
probably
about
a
5.0,
give
or
take
gpa
something
like
that.
Sophomore
one
of
my
super
sophomores
was
hurt
most
of
the
season,
but
came
back
just
in
time
to
help
us
make
our
run.
It
was
allison
leon.
G
Another
senior-
I
don't
know
where
she
is
somewhere
in
the
line
here,
who
was
a
big
part
and
a
lot
of
fun.
Just
a
great
person
to
have
on
the
team
and
to
be
around
is
angela
ling.
G
G
Another
freshman,
whose
limit,
I
think
is
limitless.
Her
potential
is
going
to
be
fantastic,
very
excited
to
see
how
she
progresses.
Carolyn,
horton.
G
G
And
obviously
this
is
in
no
particular
order,
but
one
of
our
true
incredible
athletes.
I
can't
say
enough
about
emma
other
than.
H
G
Fact
that
she's
already
committed
to
play
tennis
next
year
at
stanford
concert
pianist
and
about
a
four
point,
something
four
point:
something
gpa.
G
G
Karena
another
junior
another
huge
part
of
what
we
did
seems
like
everybody
was
a
big
part
of
what
we
did
very
excited
to
see
how
kailyn
finishes
off
for
senior
next
year.
For
us,
I'm
really
excited
way
to
go.
G
Another
wonderful
freshman,
whose
potential
is
also
through
the
roof,
super
happy.
I
got
a
call
from
their
family
the
week
before
school
started.
I'm
like
sure,
let's
see
what
you
look
like,
so
I'm
like
okay
you're
on
the
team
you're
great.
This
is
going
to
be
wonderful,
liv,
nardialis.
G
G
Do
I
get
everybody?
Oh
last,
but
not
least,
one
of
my
other
seniors
I've
had
the
pleasure
working
with
four
years,
just
a
fantastic,
fantastic
kid
rachel
I
can
tell
everybody
now
will
be
our
ventura
county
player
of
the
year
for
her
effort
and
we
couldn't
do
what
we
do
without
rachel.
G
How
come
you're
not
on
here?
Oh
god,
I
went
right
past
you,
oh
my
god,
I
say
the
best
for
last.
I
couldn't
do
what
we
do.
Hopefully
everybody
follows
us
on
our
instagram
and
we
passed.
We
passed
the
torch
each
year
and
I
had
one
of
the
seniors
helping
me
in
the
beginning
and
just
got
too
busy
with
school
and
all
her
demands
and
we
passed
it
on
to
anissa
who's,
also,
a
great
player
and
just
a
wonderful,
wonderfully
funny
great
kid
to
have
around
anissa
vadia.
G
A
C
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
of
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.
Four
individuals
have
requested
to
speak
and
personally
went
to
council
standards.
B
Okay,
our
first
speaker
up
tonight
is
sherry
ferber.
I
believe
she's
online.
J
J
Yet
we
are
allowing
native
wildlife
to
be
exterminated.
The
irony
of
this
and
these
actions
is
that
artificially
impacting
the
coyote
population
will
most
likely
result
in
females
having
larger
litters
and
more
frequently.
Coyotes
are
native
wildlife
and
an
essential
part
of
the
trophic
cascade.
Reducing
numbers
of
mice,
rats,
gophers
and
rabbits.
Coexistence
is
truly
so
simple
to
achieve,
and
agencies
are
at
the
ready
to
educate
north
point
on
how
to
achieve
it.
What
a
disrespectful
disregard
of
the
spiritual
values
of
the
nearby
chumash
center
and
the
native
american
respect
for
wildlife?
J
I
have
to
wonder
as
well
if
there
might
be
a
connection
found
here
to
our
recently
poisoned
bobcats,
three
of
which
did
not
survive.
Someone
is
lying
either
the
company
trapping
or
the
board
to
the
homeowners,
because
in
their
letter
to
homeowners,
they
claim
the
coyotes
are
being
relocated,
not
true.
How
can
this
be
anything
other
than
animal
cruelty?
That
must
be
stopped,
and
this
is
taking
place
within
your
city.
So
I'm
asking
the
council
to
look
further
into
this
and
to
do
everything
within
their
power
to
prevent
this
from
continuing
to
go
on.
K
Good
evening,
good
evening,
city,
council,
members
and
mayor,
my
name
is
randy
feivish
and
I
am
a
calabasas
resident
and
humane
policy
volunteer
for
humane
society.
United
states,
I'm
speaking
tonight,
because
many
of
us
volunteers
have
attempted
to
reach
out
to
north
point
hoa
and
their
property
management
company
and
have
had
absolutely
no
response
to
our
offers
of
presentations
and
help
with
their
coyote
situation.
K
K
Scientific
studies
show
that
trapping
will
ultimately
prove
ineffective
and
will
exacerbate
the
situation
as
coyote
populations
will
quickly
rebound
often
within
weeks
or
months.
Instead,
northpoint
hoa
should
choose
a
more
humane,
effective
and
ecologically
sound
approach,
one
that
emphasizes
public
safety,
education
and
a
reduction
of
coyote
wildlife.
Attractants
unexploited
coyote
populations
naturally
will
limit
their
own
population
density
by
establishing
and
defending
non-overlapping
territories
and
suppressing
breeding
among
subordinate
members
of
their
extended
family
group.
This
will
prevent
the
overpopulation
in
any
given
area,
and
then
it
ensures
sustainable
prey.
Resources
for
the
group.
K
K
A
This
is
jody
roshani
of
agora
hills
and
thank
you
for
giving
me
this
time
to
speak.
I
would
like
to
speak
out
about
the
north
point
hoa
community
trapping
and
killing
of
coyotes,
I'm
speaking
tonight
for
the
creatures
who
cannot
speak
out.
I
am
speaking
out
for
those
who
have
no
voice
and
are
enduring
immense
suffering
and
cruelty
that
is
needless
immoral
and
is
harmful
to
our
ecosystem.
A
A
A
L
Good
evening,
mayor
engler
and
city
council,
my
name
is
danielle
borja,

just
a
couple
of
updates
from
your

this
evening,
one
we're
less
than
two
weeks
away
from

just
want
to
remind
everyone

So
if

the
new

two

one
of
our
local

I'm
in

they
are
have
the
ability

get
a
hundred
dollars
in
canado
cash

they
can
use

last
event
of
the

30
to
wrap
up
the

and
thank
you

much.
B

and
p
are
the
the
votes
for
the
lake
specific
plan,
as
well
as
the

housekeeping
purposes.
Since
I
voted
against
both
of
these
I'd
like
to
the
record
to
reflect
that,
so
I
will
not
be
voting
in
favor
of
o
and
p
because
for
housekeeping

repairs
and
directed
that
this
grant
amount
be
considered
against
any
further
funding
for
senior
concerns.
N
B
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation,
it's
very
very
nice,
to
see
so
much
of
our
money
going
to
such
worthy
organizations
and
thank
you
for
that
hard
work
and
trying
to
decipher
and
and
make
that
award.
So
thank
you
for
that.
My
council
colleagues.
E
I
know
you
want
to
call
me
mayor,
we'll
take
a
while
to
get
used
to
that.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation.
This
is
a
christmas
present
for
all
of
these
organizations
that
are
so
worthwhile
and
so
worthy,
and
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
there
is
a
reason.
These
are
excellent
organizations
they
have.
They
have
fantastic
volunteers
and
several
of
the
volunteers.
E
Actually
many
were
highlighted
in
the
community
commitment
award
that
we
had
going
on
all
year
long
and
it
is
what
really
is
a
testament
to
the
the
character
of
our
community,
in
that
we
volunteer
so
much
of
our
time
for
and
two
needy
causes,
and
I'm
so
glad
that
the
city
was
able
to
provide
this
grant,
especially
in
this
more
difficult
time.
So
I
know
it
wasn't
easy
to
go
through
all
of
the
applications,
but
thank
you
very
much
to
you
and
the
group
as
a
whole.
M
Hi,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
what
a
wonderful
presentation
as
a
council
member,
claudia
de
la
pena,
had
commented
that
these
type
of
programs
are
so
vital
in
our
community
and
I've
served
on
committees
such
as
yours
and
takes
many
many
hours
to
go
through
and
decipher
which
ones
get.
What
please
extend
my
most
sincere
thank
you
to
everyone
on
those
committees
for
the
hard
work
they
put
into
this.
I
know
it
was
not
easy.
M
B
Very
good,
we
have
a
couple
of
public
speakers,
so
if
I
can
get
the
brian
mcqueeney,
if
he's
on
on
the
call
looks
like
he's
remote,
so
brian
mcqueeney
is
up.
H
Good
evening,
council
members,
thank
you
so
much
for
holding
this
a
really
amazing
grant
giving
ceremony
that
you're
doing
tonight.
I
think
it's
a
testament
to
the
leadership
in
the
community
really
going
back
a
generation
or
more.
H
I
will
tell
you
firsthand,
having
spent
many
many
years
in
the
nonprofit
sector,
that
this
type
of
leadership
is
not
common
and
it's
not
to
be
taken
for
granted,
and
I
know
all
the
hard
work
that
goes
in
on
the
part
of
the
committees
on
the
part
of
city
staff
and
in
particular
the
driving
direction
from
the
city
council
is
just
enormously
important
to
all
of
us.
H
Some
of
the
grants
you're
approving
tonight
for
right
on
will
benefit
our
disabled
writing
program
and
some
of
them
will
begin
to
help
us
with
the
rebuilding
process
out
at
rancho
petrero.
So
we're
grateful
for
both
of
those
on
any
given
day.
We
are
serving
hundreds
of
people
now,
hundreds
of
individuals
with
disabilities,
hundreds
of
people
who
are
able-bodied
equestrians-
and
this
is
something
that
is-
that
is
remarkable,
and
we
have
many
volunteers
that
that
come
and
help
us
as
well.
H
We
have
partnerships
with
cal
lutheran
right
now,
with
safe
passage
with
the
girl
scouts,
with
the
crpd
program
staff
and
as
mayor
engler
just
saw
in
his
capacity
with
his
kiwanis
hat
on
last
week
out
at
our
trail
fest,
where
we
brought
over
100
riders
with
disabilities
out
to
enjoy
these
amazing
animals
and
our
amazing
open
space
that
is
really
eye-opening
to
see
not
only
the
number
of
people
who
want
to
participate,
but
the
the
universe
of
people
who
are
willing
to
help
them.
H
B
Valerie
is
in
this
in
the
in
the
house
coming
down.
F
F
The
founders
appreciated
the
desire
of
nearly
all
the
residents
to
continue
living
in
their
homes
as
they
age,
and
they
recognize
the
challenges
in
doing
so,
as
they
began
became
aware
of
the
village
to
village
movement
which
offered
a
model
for
meeting
this
challenge
through
a
network
of
independent
villages
springing
up
through
out
the
united
states.
The
founders
created
canao
valley,
village,
the
village
is
a
membership
organization
and
it
connects
older
adults
to
the
community
living
lives
of
purpose
and
growth.
F
F
F
F
They
can
get
a
ride
to
the
doctor's
office
and
have
someone
there
to
take
notes
if,
if
that's
what
the
member
would
like
and
we
help
with
minor
home
repairs
technology,
which
is
a
big
one,
with
cell
phones
and
getting
everybody
on
zoom.
This
past
couple
years
was
a
challenge,
but.
F
Okay,
all
right,
okay,
anyway,
we
have
a
lot
of
events
for
our
members,
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
consideration.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
committee
for
doing
such
a
good
job
in
sharing
the
wealth,
among
so
many
different
organizations
that
you
got
a
real
cross-section
here
of
the
community
and
that's
going
to
enable
these
organizations
to
continue
to
serve
our
residents.
Appreciate
that
anne
really.
B
Well,
very
good,
just
a
quick
comment
from
from
my
position.
B
We
were
very
fortunate
to
be
able
to
provide
this
extra
money
that
is
available
now,
not
only
just
for
the
the
sports
groups,
but
also
for
the
social
services
group.
I'm
I'm
very
happy
to
be
part
of
this
organization
that
was
able
to
get
get
the
cash
and
bring
it
in
for
you.
B
Looking
at
the
the
the
array
of
people
were
able
to
help
this
year
from
football
to
golf
to
therapeutic
horsemanship,
and
then
our
social
services
from
adelante
munidad
to
safe
passage,
mana
and
people
that
have
been
in
town
for
a
long
time
like
mana,
and
then
very
new
organizations
such
as
the
kaneho
community
outreach,
which
provides
diapers
for
those
in
need.
So
I'm
really
happy
to
be
able
to
be
part
of
this
and
to
help
these
organizations
better
serve
our
our
community.
O
B
Okay
on
to
our
our
next
public
hearing,
which
is
on
the
water
and
wastewater
rates
and
fee
adjustments,
I
believe
we
have
carrie
matson
going
to
do.
The
presentation
as
well
as
cliff
finley,
will
be
there
and
nader
hidari.
C
And
mayor
I'll
go
ahead
and
open
the
hearing
hearing
advertised
as
required
by
law,
is
open
to
consider
agenda
item
8a
water
and
wastewater
rates
and
fee
adjustments.
Speakers
are
requested
to
state
their
name
and
community
of
residents
for
the
record.
One
individual
has
requested
to
speak
and
speak
and
pursue
it
to
council
standards.
Speakers
will
have
five
minutes.
P
Good
evening
and
thank
you
mary
engler
and
city
council
members,
this
discussion
is
our
rate
utility
rate
setting
public
hearing
to
establish
water
and
wastewater
rates
for
the
next
two
years.
Just
to
reiterate
joining
me
on
the
diocese
evening
is
cliff.
Findlay
public
works
director
and
nada
hidari.
Deputy
public
works
director
also
joining
us
is
sanjay
gar
from
raf
telus
financial
consultants.
P
Here's
a
summary
of
the
proposed
utility
rates
for
the
next
two
years.
There
is
a
one
percent
increase
each
year
proposed
for
our
water
service
rates
and
adding
to
that
amount
is
a
two
and
a
half
percent
for
year,
one
and
three
percent
for
year,
two
pass-through
rate
for
imported
water
costs
for
wastewater
there's.
A
three
percent
proposed
increase
for
the
next
two
fiscal
years:
the
utility
financial
plans
and
water
cost
of
service
study,
which
provided
the
framework
for
these
proposed
utility
rates,
were
approved
by
city
council
on
october
12
2021..
P
Water
rates
are
composed
of
two
different
components:
there
is
a
base
rate
that
is
charged
regardless
of
water
use
and
a
variable
rate
that
depends
on
the
quantity
used.
The
base
rate
is
determined
by
the
size
of
the
meter.
A
three
quarter
inch
or
five
eight
by
three
quarter
inch
meter
size
is
predominant
for
singer.
Family
residential
customers
and
their
base
rate
would
increase
by
41
cents
per
month
in
2022,
which
is
a
1.6
percent
increase.
P
P
To
summarize,
the
water
rate
changes
this
chart
illustrates
how
low
moderate
and
high
usage
bills
will
be
financially
impacted.
An
average
residential
customer
shown
in
the
middle
of
the
graph
using
16
units
of
water
per
month
with
a
three
quarter
inch
or
five
eight
by
three
quarter.
Inch
meter
would
be
minimally
impacted
at
a
cost
of
a
dollar
49
per
month.
P
P
The
city's
average
monthly
bill
would
still
compare
favorably
with
our
other
waters
water
providers
in
the
area
for
an
average
residential
customer.
There
would
be
no
change
to
our
rank.
It
is
important
to
note
that
agencies
with
lower
water
costs
reflect
differences
in
local
water
supply,
such
as
groundwater
or
reclaimed
water,
which
is
less
expensive
than
imported
water.
P
Adjustments
are
based
on
engineering
news
records
construction
cost
index
for
los
angeles,
which,
over
this
past
year,
experienced
an
8
increase
equating
to
the
655
dollar
adjustment.
You
see
here
going
forward
a
biennial
versus
annual
increase
or
decrease
based
on
two
years.
Prior
engineering
news
record
construction,
cost
indexes
for
los
angeles,
will
save
staff
time
in
preparing
reports
and
adjusting
fees.
P
P
P
Additionally,
waste
water
connection
fees
are
also
currently
adjusted
annually
to
reflect
changes
in
construction
costs.
This
year,
an
8
increase
which
is
710
for
new
residential
connection,
is
proposed
connection
fees
mitigate
the
financial
impact
of
development
on
our
existing
customers,
and
these
one-time
fees
apply
only
to
new
construction
similar
to
water
going
forward.
Connection
fees
would
be
adjusted
by
annually
versus
annually,
also
based
on
the
two
years
of
prior
engineering
news
record
construction
cost
indexes
for
los
angeles.
P
P
P
Staff
performed
outreach
via
brochures
billing,
inserts
and
information
provided
on
the
city
website.
We
are
currently
at
36
capacity
for
waste,
water
and
62
capacity
for
the
water
program.
The
program
has
been
well
received
and
we
have
room
for
more
customers
who
meet
the
eligibility
criteria
for
this
assistance.
P
E
Thank
you.
Yes,
we
do
have
a
few
comments
from
the
public
about
item
eight,
a
two
or
three
opposed
three
opposed.
I've
wondered
if
staff
had
a
chance
to
look
at
these
comments
and
if
so,
what
would
be
your
response.
Q
Good
evening
councilmember
this
is
nader
hidari.
Yes,
there
was
two
supplemental
packet
items
submitted
on
item
8a
and
one
the
first
one
was
addressed
during
the
presentation
here,
which
is
that
the
unincorporated
residents
pay
a
small
additional
surcharge
to
cover
the
direct
cost
the
city
incurs
in
providing
the
wastewater
service
to
the
unincorporated
area.
Q
The
the
other
comment
that
we
received
on
item
8a
had
indicated
that
the
increases
may
be
a
result
of
expansion
of
the
system.
However,
that's
not
correct.
The
increases
are
instead
necessary
to
ensure
ongoing
operations
and
maintenance
of
the
wastewater
system
to
keep
that
essential
infrastructure
operating
at
a
high
level.
So
they're
they're
not
being
done
to
fund
expansion
of
the
of
the
wastewater
system.
E
P
E
So
to
make
it
clear
to
the
residents
who
are
saying
that
they're
already
pre-paying,
it
sounded
as
though
they're
paying
more
for
it
in
their
in
their
emails.
P
B
L
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
wrote
to
you
extensively
regarding
the
rape
charges
I
live
in,
I'm
wendy
zimmerman.
I
live
in
newbury
park.
I
am
one
of
the
residents
who
is
being
demanded
to
pay
the
surcharge.
L
Proposition
2018
to
18
says
that
a
city,
their
engineering
report,
which
you
have
rich
vap
telus,
who
does
reports
for
lots
of
folks,
has
to
add
up
all
of
the
costs
and
look
at
all
the
rate
classes
and
all
of
the
parcels
belonging
to
a
particular
category.
For
example,
I
live
in
a
single
family.
Residence
have
to
be
charged
the
same
amount,
not
more,
not
less.
It
is
based
on
all
of
the
actual
costs
and
that's
how
the
rate
goes.
L
So
some
houses
are
cost
you
more
to
run
the
sewer
lines
over
to
hill
canyon
than
others.
It
doesn't
matter
whether
they
are
in
the
city
limits
or
out
of
it.
The
wastewater
is
a
district.
The
district
works
differently
than
what
this
city
has
city
does
not
have
the
power
to
charge
some
single-family
homeowners,
more
some
owners
less
than
others.
The
state
says
it
must
be
equitable
and
each
house
pays
its
proportionate
share
case
law
says
that
you
cannot
cherry
pick
whether
it
goes
by
property,
property
or
neighborhood
to
neighborhood.
L
You
have
to
take
all
of
the
single-family
houses,
for
example,
in
the
district
and
divide
them
into
the
total
that
it
costs
you
to
serve
those
homes.
So
we
all
need
to
pay
this
same
amount
for
our
waste
water.
We
all
flush,
we
don't
have
anything
different
or
fancy.
We
don't
have
a
choice
of
to
whom
our
wastewater
goes
for
processing.
This
is
a
necessity,
and
the
california
constitution
lays
this
out
specifically
in.
L
In
13
deep,
so
it's
all
there
for
you,
I
sent
you
a
written
comment
which
ms
de
la
pena
has
referred
to
about
this.
That
explains
it,
including
in
the
words
of
your
own
consultants,
how
it
works,
so
everybody
has
to
pay
the
same
amount.
Therefore,
the
increases
for
the
folks
who
happen
to
live
in
the
county
should
be
less
than
those
who
live
in
the
city,
but
whatever
the
rate
is,
it
is
for
all
of
us,
so
you
need
to
redo
the
math
look
at
it.
L
I'm
not
sure
why
this
has
been
allowed
to
happen
for
years,
but
it
is
not
in
keeping
with
what
the
california
constitution
lays
out
in
this
important
subject
of
wastewater.
I
know
it's
not
glamorous,
but
the
wastewater
district
is
specifically
spelled
out
in
the
california
constitution
that
came
through
from
proposition
218
back
in
about
1996.
L
So
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
this.
Those
differences
do
add
up
for
those
of
us
who
have
been
paying
the
surcharges
and
it's
all
a
cost.
We
don't
necessarily
all
have
the
exact
same
cost
to
run
our
our
lines
and
our
waste
water
to
the
hill
canyon
plant,
but
we
all
pay
a
share,
so
I'm
sure
that
those
of
us
who
have
a
surcharge
for
what
they
consider
paying
the
tax
that
mr
haideri
has
mentioned,
that
that's.
L
Why
you
claim
that
you
can't
have
the
surcharges
but
we're
paying
we're
subsidizing
people
who
have
distance
issues
or
difficult
terrain,
that
their
sewer
lines
go
through.
It
all
goes
into
the
pot
and
we
all
have
to
pay
the
exact
same
thing.
You
can't
split
it.
You
have
one
rate
tier
for
single
family
houses.
You
have
another
vape
tier
for
your
commercial
folks
or
your
apartment,
folks
or
whatever.
However
many
you
have
to
do
it,
but
each
of
us
pays
our
fair
share,
no
more!
No
less!
B
Well,
thank
you
mr
zimmerman.
I
think
we
can
ask
our
staff
for
a
response
to
the
items
you
brought
up
the
information
you
brought
up,
so
I
will
turn
it
over
to
staff
for
any
response.
P
R
S
All
right,
thank
you,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
what
we're
talking
about
is
the
additional
service
charge
for
outside
city
customers.
S
This
is
a
property
tax
that
the
county
of
ventura
assesses
the
city
for
its
sewer
lines.
So
it's
a
third-party
cost.
It's
not
a
cost
that
the
city
boards
it's
actually
and
it's
on
specifically
a
cost
that
outside
customers
units
that
they
assess
that
if
we,
the
city,
did
not
provide
outside
service
to
these
customers,
then
this
cost
wouldn't
occur,
so
it
from
a
prop
to
18
perspective.
A
So,
in
listening
to
the
public
comment,
I
just
want
to
make
four
points.
One
is
that
the
process
that
we
followed
complies
with
proposition
218..
A
Our
methods
are
legally
defensible
as
far
as
how
we
process
this
and
as
staff
has
already
said,
both
in
the
previous
report
and
from
the
consultant's
comments
right
now,
staff
has
addressed
her
comments
and
again
looking
at
her
email
previously
sent
and
the
the
ballots.
This
is
for
prop
218
when
you
send
out
the
ballot
is
for
the
property
owners,
so
every
property
owner
who
receives
the
time
ballot
and
these
ballots
were
timely,
sent
out
after
that
initial
meeting
in
october.
A
The
ballots
are
then
sent
out,
and
every
property
owner
has
a
time
to
submit
those
either
opposing
or
approving,
and
that's
what's
before
you
tonight,
and
so
the
city
clerk
will
announce
at
some
point
in
time
what
the
ballots
were.
If
there
were
enough
for
a
majority
to
either
to
oppose
it,
you
would
have
to
have
the
majority
of
the
property
owners
who
were
submitted
ballots,
which
I
believe
is
in
the
thousands.
B
P
That's
correct,
so,
if
we
weren't
servicing
these
out-of-city
residents,
then
we
wouldn't
have
the
charge.
So
part
of
the
proposition
218
is
that
you
want
to
equitably
divide
the
cost
to
the
appropriate
people
who
are
actually
receiving
the
service,
which
is
why
we
just
divide
that
sixteen
thousand
dollar
property
tax
payment
to
those
three
thousand
customers
who
receive
those
services
that
are
in
unincorporated
areas.
P
E
S
P
S
Yes,
that
that
would
be
a
bundle
then,
at
this
point,
it's
going
to
show
up
as
a
single
dollar
amount
for
wastewater
services
from
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
on
the
on
the
tax
bill.
So
just
like
some
of
the
other
fees
that
show
up
on
that
bill,
whether
it
be
for
storm
drain,
et
cetera,.
S
So
you
know
you
remember:
this
is
going
out
with
the
property
tax
bill.
It's
definitely
not
a
city
generated
bill,
so
we
don't
really
have
any
opportunity
to
revise
the
way.
The
county
builds
your
property
taxes,
so.
S
We
we
would,
however,
I
don't
know
that
they
would.
They
would
change
that
for
us.
It's
also,
though
it's
it's
very
clear.
It's
actually
outlined
very
specifically
in
in
the
financial
plan
of
exactly
where
it
comes
from
the
calculations.
Are
there
it's
really
the
basis
of
the
fee?
It's
like
everything
else
that
we
have
in
those
fees.
We
don't
we
don't.
When
you
get
their
costs,
we
don't
break
out
the
different,
the
fixed
cost
versus
the
the
amount
of
water
you
use
et
cetera.
So
it's
really
it's
the
I'm.
Q
The
surcharge
is
currently
31
cents
and
will
now
be
44
cents
per
month.
D
D
B
Erica
any
other
questions
from
my
colleagues,
okay.
Prior
to
closing
the
the
hearing,
I
want
to
take
one
last
call
for
written
protests
before
the
clerk
does
the
tabulations
on
it.
So
if
there's
no
further
written
protests,
I'll
close
the
public
hearing,
will
the
city
clerk
please
provide
the
results
of
her
tabulations.
C
C
C
B
Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
Any
further
discussion
or
or
questions
from
my
colleagues.
B
Very
good
I'll
take
a
motion.
Thank
you.
D
B
Mr
graham
watts
is
going
to
present
with
the
again
nader
hidari
is
available
for
questions.
C
T
T
The
action
also
requires
the
cities
to
identify
to
identify
undergrounding
projects
that
could
be
funded
with
the
remaining
southern
california
edison
credits
or
risk
losing
those
funding.
Credits
staff
has
identified
jans
road
between
moore
park,
road
and
windsor
as
the
best
remaining
candidate
with
above
ground
utilities
to
underground
using
the
1.9
million
in
southern
california,
as
in
credit
funding
available
2
thousand
oaks.
T
The
jans
road
area
is
the
highest
remaining
underground.
Project
remaining
in
the
council,
approved
master
undergrounding
priority
list.
Additional
funds
are
also
budgeted
in
the
city's
undergrounding
fund
to
cover
any
additional
telephone
and
cable
underground
costs
that
might
be
necessary.
It's
also
important
to
note
that
this
project
will
be
completed
at
no
cost
to
property
owners.
T
Approximately
40
property
owners
are
within
the
project
area
and
all
of
them
have
been
notified
about
tonight's
public
hearing
staff
has
also
created
a
project
website
that
will
be
updated
as
the
project
proceeds
to
date,
staff
has
received
no
inquiries
and
all
the
property
owners
within
the
area
will
not
pay
any
assessments
or
fees
related
to
this
project.
T
B
D
I
mean
we
have
a
two
million
dollars
of
these
so-called
work
credits
that
we
need
to
use
by
january
of
next
year,
correct.
That
is
correct,
so
we
yeah.
Well,
I'm
sure
the
neighbors
are
going
to
miss
these
godzilla
telephone
poles
in
the
middle
of
their
sidewalks.
I
tell
them,
don't
think
I've
ever
seen
that
before
you
have
to
walk
around
the
poles
as
you
maneuver
down
the
sidewalk,
with
this
bird
nest
of
wires
above
you.
So
this
I
mean
to
me
this
is
like
a
no-brainer
to
you
know,
replace
underground.
D
E
Thank
you,
you
said,
use
it
or
lose
it
I'll
say,
take
it
or
leave
it
right.
E
Why
can
we
not
start
sooner?
Why
is
it
taking
so
long
until
2024.
Q
Yeah
I'm
having
completed
a
few
of
these
projects
over
the
past
10
years.
It's
just
a
matter
of
when
you're
discussing
the
substantial
nature
of
this
type
of
activity
and
the
design
coordination
that
has
to
take
place
between
all
of
the
different
utility
companies
on
those
polls
and
our
efforts
to
make
sure
that
everything's
buttoned
up
design
wise
before
we
start
opening
up
the
street,
so
that
the
construction
phase
can
go
smoothly.
Q
Q
B
M
Q
Yes,
the
identification
of
the
project
has
to
take
place
by
december
31st
and
then
but
yes,
the
overall
program
which
the
rule
28
program
is
unique
and
it's
a
it's
a
rate
payer
funded
small
amount
every
month
was
collecting
and
the
public
utility
commission.
I
guess,
has
determined
that
the
program
either
the
money
was
being
spread
around
and
not
being
utilized
statewide
or
there
can
be
other
other
purposes
for
it.
Q
M
Q
Yeah
we
we
have
our
own
city
undergrounding,
account
funds
which
have
some
unlimited
funds
in
them
that
some
of
which
will
be
utilized
on
this
project
as
grant
mentioned
to
underground
the
telephone
and
cable
lines
and
so
forth,
but
that
fund
occasionally
receives
a
boost
when
there's
a
an
undergrounding,
and
maybe
somebody
instead
of
undergrounding,
one
pole
on
the
frontage
cashes
out
and
pays
into
this
fund,
that's
where
a
lot
of
the
funds
came
from,
but
that's
not
going
to
amount
to
substantial
work
in
the
future.
You
know
this.
Q
This
doesn't
add
up
to
that
level,
so
we're
hoping
to
find
alternative
sources,
we're
hoping
that
other
sources
may
happen.
We
have
noticed
that
pg
e
in
the
bay
area
has
announced
that
they're
going
to
be
undergrounding.
I
think,
like
2,
000
miles
of
lines
so
and
that's
something
we're
hoping
that
yeah.
M
Yeah
very
good,
mr
graham,
thank
you
for
a
wonderful
presentation.
B
I
just
have
a
quick
question
or
two:
I
believe
that
the
this
this
will
have
some
disruption
to
the
to
the
neighbors
there
that
you
mentioned
40
or
so
homes.
Can
you
explain
how
we're
going
to
alert
them
and
and
how
we're
going
to
handle
that
give
them
that
notice.
Q
Yeah,
certainly
that
that
goes
part
part
and
parcel
with
the
basically
the
schedule
of
the
project
having
to
do
a
lot
of
that
coordination
and
outreach,
and
it
is
going
to
be
disruptive
to
several
of
them
who
currently
have
a
drop
service.
So
the
the
overhead
wire
comes
down
off
the
pull
and
goes
into
their
their
panel.
Q
You
know
through
the
air
and
that's
going
to
be
converted
to
an
underground
service,
and
we
went
through
the
same
scenario
when
we
undergrounded
moore
park
road
back
around
2005.,
so
the
the
advantage
for
the
property
owners
are
going
to
get
a
brand
new
electrical
panel
and
new
underground
service
and
won't
have
the
wire
to
look
at
anymore,
but
certainly
doing
the
work
has
some
disruption.
So
it's
going
to
involve
individual
outreach
with
each
each
effective
property
under
well
in
advance.
B
And
how
is
this
going
to
dovetail
into
any
ada,
because
I
know
those
those
poles?
I've
walked
that
street
before
that
those
poles
are
right,
smack
dab
and
it's
a
fairly
narrow
sidewalk.
Is
that
part
of
the
reason
we
want
to
do
this.
Q
Absolutely
yup
that's
going
to
open
up
that
street
and,
in
addition,
jans
road
does
not
have
dedicated
bike
lanes.
However,
once
these
poles
are
removed
from
the
sidewalk,
that
will
provide
another
opportunity
for
the
bicyclist
to
to
be
off
of
the
roadway
surface
and
still
you
know,
travel
on
jan's
road
by
using
the
sidewalk.
D
Q
Q
It's
roughly
1500
lineal
feet.
I
believe
a
quarter
mile,
a
little
bit
long
and
a
quarter
mile.
D
B
Very
good,
I
don't
think
we
have
any
public
speakers
on
this.
Is
that
correct,
madam
clerk?
Well,
so
any
further
questions
for
our
staff
comments
or
emotion,.
B
I'm
sorry,
let's
close
the
public
hearing
and
then
we'll
go
to
discussion
in
motion.
M
B
R
License
plates
may
be
associated
with
missing
persons,
persons
on
probation
or
parole
people
that
have
warrants,
and
also
we
can
enter
vehicles
in
there
that
are
vehicles
of
interest
to
us.
It
really
works
in
two
ways:
there's
real
time
alerts
where
patrol
vehicles
have
this
equipment
on
their
vehicle
and
as
they
drive
by
a
stolen
vehicle,
may
alert
alert
to
them
that
that
vehicle
their
nearby
is
stolen
and
then
the
other
one.
R
Is
it
captures
that
data
retains
that
data
and
we
use
it
for
investigative
purposes
later
on
for
and
I'll
talk
about
an
example
of
both
of
those
a
little
bit
later
on
for
the
history
of
how
lprs
have
come
to
be
with
the
sheriff's
office
and
the
city
of
thousand
oaks.
We
first
the
sheriff's
office
first
purchased
lpr
equipment
in
2017,
and
all
those
devices
were
patrol
mounted
that
initial
purchase
and
later
on,
we
made
other
purchases.
R
The
city
thousand
oaks
made
purchases
included
a
trailer
mount
system
and
I'll
talk
about
those
in
a
minute
and
a
and
a
fixed
location
system
as
well,
and
we've
had
a
whole
bunch
of
cases
that
have
that
have
been
solved
using
this
one
I
want
to
talk
about
in
particular,
is
in
in
2020
a
16
year.
Old
girl
was
on
a
path,
hiking
trail
in
oak
park
and
was
assaulted,
and
a
man
attempted
to
kidnap
her.
R
She
was
able
to
break
free
from
him.
He
fled.
We
had
a
vehicle
description,
a
patrol
vehicle
with
an
lpr
in
it
had
driven
through
that
area,
15
or
20
minutes
before
and
captured
that
license
plate
and
that
our
crime
analysis,
people
who
analyze
the
data
they're,
actually
able
to
use
the
software
they're
able
to
take
a
location
and
a
period
of
time
and
look
for
any
reads
and
that's
how
they
found
the
license
plate.
They
were
able
to
have
that
suspect
in
custody
later
that
night.
R
For
that,
using
some
other
lpr
reads
that
were
historical
right,
so
I
so
we
have
a
real
time
where
they
captured
it.
Then
we
have
historical
data
and
then
combined
with
some
dna
evidence,
they
tied
them
to
some
other
sexual
assaults
that
occurred
here
in
city
thousand
oaks,
as
well
as
in
matura,
going
all
the
way
back
to
2017.
R
So
it
was
a
pretty
significant
case.
We
also
have
on
regular
basis
we
find
stolen
vehicles
that
are
involved
with
these
lpr
cameras.
We
also
our
recent
north
ranch
burglaries,
the
south
american
theft
groups
have
been
captured.
We
know
to
tie
them
to
cases,
and
that
was
historical
data
that
was
used.
We
found
a
rental
car
they've
been
using
and
then
able
to
look
through
the
historical
data
and
find
a
time
they
had
driven
by
and
tied
them
to
another
theft.
Here
in
thousand
oaks,
we
have
three
types
of
systems.
R
We
have
a
patrol
car
car
mounted
system
that
consists
of
four
cameras
on
the
patrol
car.
The
great
thing
about
those
is
when
they
do
drive
by
say
a
vehicle,
that's
associated
with
a
missing
person.
That
alarm
will
go
off
for
the
deputy
right
there
and
they
can
act
on
that
right
away.
We
have
message
board
systems.
These
systems
are
portable,
they're,
tied
to
a
message
board.
You
see
that
like
say
would
say,
don't
drink
and
drive
on
it.
Those
we
can
are
portable.
R
We
can
put
around
high
crime
areas
or
cr.
You
know.
Crime
trends
address
those
we
use
those
during
the
north
ranch
residential
burglaries.
We
we've
had.
We
also
use
those
in
commercial
areas.
We've
had
the
recent
smash
and
grab
thefts,
they're
a
great
tool.
They
do
are
battery
operated
they
last
about
three
days
and
they
have
to
then
be
charged
for
a
day
and
I'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
later
and
then
also
we
have
fixed
cameras,
so
those
just
what
they
sound
they're
out
of
location.
R
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
data
protection.
It's
a
really
important
topic.
We
have
some
really
stringent
data
protection
rules
set
in
place
and
I
have
a
policy
statement
here.
We
have
but
really
to
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
more
than
what's
just
here.
R
We,
every
user
of
our
lpr
data,
has
to
go
through
a
training
before
they're
allowed
access
to
that.
The
only
people
that
allowed
access
to
that
are
people
have
been
through
the
training.
People
are
doing
audits
of
those
using
the
data
and
then
are
any
technical
people
that
would
be
working
on
the
computer
system.
R
From
that
end,
each
user
has
their
own
unique,
login
and
password,
and
when
they
do,
log
in
the
system
keeps
track
of
who's
logging
in
when
they're
logging,
in
of
what
data
they're
looking
at
and
it
they
have
to
type
in
when
they
do
look
at
the
data
they
have
to
type
in
a
case
number
associated
with
that
data,
so
that
it's
like
on
a
need
to
know
basis.
Therefore
we
go
back
to
audits.
We
can
ask
people,
hey
you
looked
up
plate
so
and
so
what
was
your
reason?
R
And
we
can
tie
that
back
to
a
specific
case
where
they
do
that
some
other
things
that
are
really
important
to
understand.
I
talk
about
the
real-time
use
of
of
the
license
plate
reader.
If
a
deputy
gets
an
alert
that
a
vehicle
say
a
stolen
vehicle
just
drove
by,
he
has
to
visually
confirm
that
plate
and
then
they
run
it
through
dispatch
separate
from
the
system.
So
it's
something
to
really
important
to
understand
because
license
plate.
R
Readers
do
sometimes
give
false
reads:
they
misinterpret,
as
you
know,
a
c
and
a
d
and
and
they
give
a
false,
read
and
so
part
of
our
policy
is
deputies
shall
visually
confirm
that
license
plate
and
then
they
do
a
second
check
of
that
outside
that
lpr
system
to
confirm
that
the
the
data
is
correct,
so
we
don't
act
on
something
with
a
false
read
on
the
license
plate
reader.
R
R
We
right
now
are
keeping
our
data
for
five
years,
and
I
want
to
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
right
right
now,
the
legislature.
Last
year,
california
legislator
had
had
a
bill
that
they
were
considering.
That
was
going
to
limit
that
to
24
hours,
so
data
storage
will
only
be
for
24
hours
that
bill
didn't
go
through
and
we're
glad
because
we
talked
about
the
real-time
data
wouldn't
be
affected
by
that,
but
the
investigative
use
would
get
severely
affected
by
only
being
able
to
keep
that
data
for
24
hours.
R
But
the
legislature
does
have
this
on
their
mind,
and
I
predict
that
sometime
in
the
future
that
there
will
be
some
restrictions
on
how
long
we
keep
this
data.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
a
company
name
called
flax
flock
axon
they're,
actually
getting
started
on
a
study
right
now.
They're,
providing
free
cameras
to
major
counties
throughout
the
united
states,
they're
doing
a
study
to
look
at
really
what
is
the
correct
amount
of
time
or
most
really
the
correct
time
to
keep
the
data
where
it
solves
the
most
cases
yet
still
ensures
privacy.
R
We
have
come
up
with
a
four-part
plan
to
increase
our
our
lpr
presence
in
the
city
just
again
to
go
over
right
now.
What
we
have,
we
have
seven
patrol
cars
right
now
about
half
of
our
patrol
cars.
Have
these
systems
on
them.
We
have
the
two
message
board
trailer
I
discussed
earlier.
We
have
two
fixed
cameras,
we'd
like
to
add
three
more
patrol
cars
with
the
lpr
systems,
we'd
like
to
add
two
additional
message:
board
trailers
and
we'd
like
to
purchase
four
fixed
cameras.
R
Now
we're
gonna
the
two
fix
that
we
have
now
we're
gonna
upgrade
to
a
newer
model,
the
ones
we
have
now
cover
about
eight
feet:
width
of
lane,
the
new
ones
cover
18
feet,
width
of
lane
and
there
has
been
some
they're
getting
older
and
there
has
been
some
problems
with
them.
So
we'd
like
to
upgrade
those
two
and
then
we're
going
to
add
two
additional
fixed
cameras.
R
We
already
had
a
technology
workshop
with
several
businesses.
Councilman
mcnamee
was
present
for
that
and
participated
in
that
we
discussed
with
with
many
local
businesses
about
purchasing
their
own
equipment.
We
we
think
it's
a
great
tool.
I've
spoken
with
caruso
properties,
there
they've
committed
to
purchasing
eight
cameras
for
their
properties.
The
mace
rich
is
looking
at
the
thousand
oaks
business
association
has
committed
to
providing
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
to
the
city
to
assist
with
this
project.
R
So
there's
a
lot
of
value
in
with
the
cities
and
or
with
the
businesses.
Another
thing
we're
doing
with
the
businesses.
As
I
mentioned,
the
trailers
can
only
deploy
for
about
three
days
before
they
have
to
be
charged
and
they're
coming
back
to
the
station.
To
do
that
and
what
happens,
unfortunately,
is
lots
of
times
our
cadets
are
busy
and
they
don't
go
right
back
out
again,
so
we're
looking
at
putting
charging
pads
or
charging
stations
for
those
out
at
the
businesses
in
the
community.
R
So
hopefully
the
trailers
never
come
back
to
the
station,
so
maybe
they're
in
the
north
ranch
area
and
they
need
to
get.
They
need
to
be
recharged,
and
maybe
we
can
move
them
down
to
somewhere
on
two
boulevard,
so
they're
charged
still
collecting
data
and
move
them
back
again
rather
than
having
sitting
in
the
parking
lot,
the
pd
not
collecting
data.
So
that's
where
we're
trying
to
to
make
some
progress
with
the
stuff
we
do
have
to
make
it
more
effective
and
the
other
thing
is.
We
are
participating
the
counties
participating.
R
R
R
The
great
thing
about
vision
solutions
is
our
partner.
Agencies
surrounding
us
also
use
that.
So
we
do
share
data
with
other
government
agencies.
R
We
do
not
share
data
with
commercial
entities,
however,
but
we
do
share
with
other
agencies.
So
when
we
have
lpr
cameras
on
the
vigilance
system
and
we're
using
that
system
and,
for
instance,
we
have
a
smash
and
grab
group
or
the
south
american
theft
groups
is
a
great
example
who
are
staying
down
los
angeles.
We
have
access
to
that
data
because
we're
part
of
that
system
and
that's
the
conclusion
we
do
have.
What
the
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
is.
R
We
do
have
a
policy
on
lpr
cameras
that
spells
out
some
of
the
data
safeguards
I
was
speaking
about
and
those
that
policy
can
be
found
on
our
website
venturasheriff.org
under
the
transparency
tab.
There's
a
policy
section
where
you
can
look
at
that's
policy,
section
429,.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
chief,
any
questions
and
inquiries
from
my
council
colleagues,
I
think
we'll
start
with
council
member
mcnamee
this
time.
Thank
you,
mayor.
M
Chief,
I
have
to
say
this
is
a
pleasure
developing
this
expansion
of
our
public
safety
here
in
the
city
of
thousand
oaks,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
and
your
willingness
to
make
this
happen.
I
appreciate
it
very
very
much
a
couple
questions
I
want
to
clarify
when
I
was
going
through
the
police
academy,
with
los
angeles
police
department.
They
talk
about
right
to
know,
need
to
know.
M
R
Yeah,
so
going
back
to
our
policy,
every
access
point
of
this
system
is
controlled
by
a
unique
login
by
the
person
using
that
you
only
get
a
login
if
you're
trained
that
when
you
do
log
in
it
tracks
where
you
logged
in
from
what
time
you
logged
in
and
out
what
data
you
looked
at
and
when
you
do
run
so
to
look
at
the
data
you,
you
type
say
you
type
in
a
license
plate
or
you
type
in
an
area
search.
R
You
have
to
put
a
case
number
involved
in
that
to
show
to
so
we
can
audit
that
information
later
on,
so
we
don't.
For
instance,
you
can't
you
cannot
use
this
for,
and
it
spells
out
in
our
policy
what
you
can
and
can't
use
it
for
you
can't
use
it
for
your
own
personal,
your
own
personal
say
say
you
sold
the
car
and
somebody
didn't
you
know,
make
all
the
payments
on.
You
want
to
go.
Look
for
it
yourself
if
you
were
to.
If
you
were
to
use
that
system.
R
That
would
be
a
violation
or
policy
and
and
you'd
you'd
get
in
serious
trouble
for
that.
M
Let's
say,
for
example,
a
a
criminal
who
once
has
once
and
warrants
on
them.
They
are
driving
a
vehicle
into
california
and
they
come
to
thousand
oaks
and
they're
in
a
national
system
where
that
license.
Plate
is
identified
as
being
associated
with
someone
with
once
and
warrants.
R
Yeah
and
I'd
like
to
expand
it
a
little
bit.
So
if
it
drove
by
a
patrol
car,
a
patrol
tri
car
drove
by
it,
it
would
actually
alert
the
deputy
right
there
with
the
patrol
car
if
it
drove
by
one
of
our
trailers
or
drove
by
our
fixed
camera
location.
That
read
then
goes
down
to
our
dispatch.
We
have
a
dispatch,
has
an
advanced,
real-time
information
center.
We
have
a
dispatcher,
that's
got
some
investigative
training
there
and
has
access
to
the
system.
M
I've
met
with
some
of
the
mall
and
shopping
center
owners
to
interest
them
in
also
adding
license
plate
readers
to
the
ingress
of
their
facilities,
to
create
a
welcoming
shopping
experience
for
their
guests,
who
come
to
the
shopping
malls
and
centers.
What
is
the
response
been
from
the
ones
that
you've
communicated
with
here
in
the
city
to
help
enhance
public
safety.
M
So
they're
very
supportive
yep.
I
I
remember
reading
not
too
long
ago
in
the
local
newspaper
of
a
stolen
vehicle
from
oxnard
driver
goes
over
to
westlake
high
school
picks
up
two
females
and
as
they're
driving
down
the
street.
The
patrol
unit
picks
up
that
this
is
a
stolen
vehicle
from
oxnard
pursuit
happens.
R
Yeah
and
I'll
tell
you
back
when
I
was
in
patrol,
we
had
one
hand
on
the
keyboard
trying
to
type
it
in
as
we
drove
it
wasn't
as
because
we
would
do
it,
but
we
had
to
manually
do
it,
but
it
wasn't
as
safe
as
having
it
cameras.
Do
it
on
its
own.
M
They
don't
create
sheriff's
deputies
like
that
anymore.
Do
they
no
the
the
questions.
I
have
again
I'll
just
summarize
at
the
end
mayor
as
as
to
the
genesis
of
this
and
how
we
got
here,
but
thank
you.
B
Thank
you
and
council
member
pena.
E
Thank
you.
I
was
wondering
again.
I
think
the
the
primary
concern
that
I'm
reading
from
public
comments
here
that
we
received
in
in
the
supplemental
pocket
is
that
the
company
vigilant
solutions
had
a
couple
of
problems
on
the
other
coast,
and
there
was
an
article
in
the
new
york
times
about
people
getting
wrongfully
arrested.
R
Yeah,
so
I
I
had
the
opportunity
to
read
that
article,
that's
an
article
actually,
the
new
york
times,
opinion
piece
but
talks
about
an
incident
here
in
california
near
oakland
in
that
incident.
According
to
the
opinion
piece,
a
rental
car
was
stopped
by
the
police.
It
went
by
a
fixed,
lpr
location,
their
dispatch
dispatched
officers.
They
stopped
the
car
they
they
did.
What
we
do
on
all
stolen
cars
as
they
take
them
out
at
gunpoint.
It's
called
a
high-risk
stop.
R
After
that
they
looked
at
the
the
paperwork
on
the
rental
car
company
and
saw
that
everything
was
legitimate
at
the
end
of
the
article.
However,
they
did
mention
that
the
car
had
actually
been
entered
in
the
system
as
a
stolen
vehicle,
and
it
sounds
like
the
rental
car
company
failed
to
have
that
removed
afterwards.
So
not
really
an
lpr
problem
with
that
that
does
happen.
That's
happened
to
us
before,
where
rental
car
companies,
they
they
don't
get
returned.
They
rep
report
them
stolen.
They
eventually
do
get
returned.
R
They
neglect
to
have
them
removed
from
the
system
and
they
do
get
stopped.
But
that's
not
that's,
not
a
lpr
problem.
That's
a
a
problem
with
the
rental
car
company,
not
removing
that
stolen
vehicle.
That,
because
I
did
read
that
article.
J
E
Then
it
also
says
here
that
the
city
or
the
sheriff's
department
needs
to
ensure
that
there
are
controls
in
place
to
address
privacy
and
safety
concerns.
So,
for
example,
I
mean
this
would
be
helpful.
I
imagine
in
human
trafficking
cases
as
well
correct.
A
E
All
of
the
massage
places
we
have
on
to
teo
boulevard,
so
this
could
help
in
you
know
in
catching
the
criminals
running
the
organization.
But
what
about
the
customers
that
visit
those
places
is
their
privacy
going
to
be.
R
So,
on
the
privacy
side,
really
we
only
access
that
information.
It's
it's
not
accessible
to
just
anybody
just
look
through.
It
has
to
be
tied
to
a
case,
and
I
should
mention
too,
as
you
talk
about
human
trafficking,
like
all
the
amber
alert
vehicles,
all
those
are
also
in
that
system.
So
if
they
drive
by
those
locations,
we're
able
to
act
on
that
information
as
well.
R
So
right
now,
that's
not
the
way
this.
The
way
the
system
works,
the
the
basically
the
data
that's
collected,
sits
in
this
database.
We
we
clear
all
the
data
out
after
five
years
but
as
I
mentioned,
there's
legislation
coming
that
that
I
believe
is
going
to
limit
that
more
there's
already.
It's
already
been
proposed.
It
didn't
happen
this
last
year,
but
it
but
it's
coming,
but
that's
what
we
do
as
after
five
years,
we
delete
that
data
when.
R
E
R
Correct
so,
and
the
reason
is
some
of
the
funds
for
this
were
already
in
other
projects
already
in
the
budget,
for
instance,
we
already
had
some
trailers
that
were
budgeted
in
in
there
the
the
lpr
systems
for
the
patrol
cars
there's
one
that
was
already
budgeted
in
the
previous
budget
cycle
out
of
those
four
was
already
already
in
the
original
budget.
So
that's
that's
why
you
see
that
is
some
of
that
stuff
was
already
budgeted
and
we
already
have
funds
for
it.
R
No,
that's
that's
the
city
funds
that
we're
already
in
this
two-year
city
budget.
Oh.
D
R
R
R
No,
there
may
be
times
when,
incidentally,
it
may
pick
up
pictures
of
of
occupants
depending
on
what
angles
are
coming
at,
but
they're
not
aimed
at
that
location.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
at
the
times
I've
I
so
it's
been
a
couple
years
since
I've
used
the
system,
but
when
I
was
using
the
system
initially,
I
never
saw
a
picture
of
a
person,
but
it's
not
to
say
that
that
doesn't
happen
because
it,
it
could,
incidentally
happen,
but
I
have
not
seen
it.
M
Red
mustang
was
involved
with
the
snatch
and
grab
at
one
of
our
retail
stores,
leaving
the
parking
lot,
lpr
picks
up
the
license
plate.
They
proceed
towards
the
101
freeway
and
get
away
patrol
officers
arrive.
They
look
through
the
data
looking
for
specifically
at
205
when
it
occurred
for
that
red
mustang's
license
plate,
no
other
vehicles,
they're
looking
for
they're
just
looking
for
that
one
and
they
find
out
through
the
lpr
national
system
that
this
car
hangs
out
in
camarillo.
M
R
Actually
here
we
we
with
our
south
american
theft
groups,
we
identified
a
rental
car
that
was
being
used,
looked
through
the
historical
data
and
found
it
had
been
passed
by
our
lpr
reader
at
westlake,
continued
boulevard
on
the
night
we
had
a
residential
burglary
and
then
also
we
had
reeds
an
apartment
complex,
I
believe
in
the
san
fernando
valley,
which
led
our
detectives
down
there,
that
then
they
have
to
do
the
actual
surveillance
eyes
on
surveillance,
work
to
figure
out
which
apartment
and
who
involved,
and
so
yes,.
B
Yes,
thank
you
councilman
mcnamee
chief.
I
have
a
couple
questions
like
a
lot
like
a
lot
of
things,
there's
good
and
bad
to
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
these
propositions
that
we
look
at.
I
can
see
that
this
might
be
a
you
know.
It's
automated!
It
would
take
a
lot
of
hours
out
of
a
police
officer's
day
to
do
the
same
thing
that
these
license
plate
readers
do.
What
is
the
difference
then,
between?
B
If
you,
if
you
had
the
manpower
and
and
the
the
amount
of
money,
it
would
take
to
have
a
an
officer
just
sit
there
or
have
the
license
plate
readers,
their
difference
in
how
they
operate
or
other
than
the
fact
one's
automated
one
is
a
human
yeah.
R
Yeah,
that's
a
good
point.
I
mean
these
are
all
it's
taking
images
of
vehicles
that
are
out
in
the
public
right
away
that
that
you
know
they
have
no
right
to
privacy
of
traveling
out
in
the
public
and
if
an
officer
was
there
writing
down
the
license
plate
by
hand
it'd
be
the
you
know
the
same
thing:
it's
just
an
automated
process.
This
way.
B
Okay
and
then
I
think
this,
if
you
can
go
a
little
bit
into
how
this
has
been
helpful
to
the
sheriff's
office
and
our
our
police
in
apprehending
people,
in
other
words,
is
this
a
once
a
year
type
thing
that
we
benefit
from,
or
is
it
something
we
benefit
constantly.
R
Oh
yeah,
this
is
this,
is
a
constant
benefit.
It's
it's
a
you
know,
it's
not
it's
one
of
the
tools
we
use,
but
it's
a
very
important
tool
and,
and
it's
it's
it's
every,
I
wouldn't
say
every
case
most
cases
that
involve
a
vehicle.
The
lpr
data
is
going
to
become
a
part
of
that
investigation
of
us.
Looking
at
that,
and
looking
at
that
data.
B
Very
good
I
I
I
suspected
that
I
did
a
little
bit
of
research.
I
noticed
that
mesa
arizona
has
some
lprs
as
well
in
the
year
that
they
instituted
it.
It
went
from
their
their
stolen.
Car
apprehension
was
tripled.
Yes
in
that
in
that
year,
so
it's
a
good
handy
tool.
Now,
in
the
flip
side,
there's
some
serious
privacy
concerns
that
people
have
expressed
in
our
emails.
B
You
mentioned
that
there
is
no
expectation
of
privacy
in
when
you're
out
in
the
public
once
that
data
is
collected,
though,
can
you
go
a
little
bit
more
into
depth?
How
that
data
is
is
protected
against
farming,
that
data
for
for
information.
B
Mayor,
I
mean
claudia
claudia
mentioned
that
you
know
if,
if
a
customer
at
a
massage
parlor
constantly
is
picked
up
on
the
the
license
plate
reader,
how
is
that
person
protected
from
assumptions.
R
Yeah,
so
so
any
use
of
that
has
to
be
tied
to
a
criminal
case,
so
they
need
to
be
investigating
you
that
massage
parlor
or
that
person
in
order
to
even
gain
access
to
that
data,
but
there
you
know
that
it's
interesting
bring
that
up,
because
when
we
do,
you
know
physical
surveillance
of
massage
products,
we
have.
We
have
the
same
exact
problems
license
plate
reader,
it's
no
different.
There's
people
that
attend
those
that
have
no
criminal
intent
at
all
and
their
license
plates
are
still
written
down.
R
They
may
even
be
run
through
a
database
to
see
who
the
person
is
and
see
what
they're
up
to
same
thing
happens
at
you
know:
drug
houses,
I've
done
you
know
thousands
of
hours,
of
surveillance,
narcotic
surveillance
on
houses
and
write
down
plates
and
we
run
plates,
and
sometimes
you
know
it's
grandma,
picking
up
the
kids
to
to
take
them
to
the
nursery.
But
sometimes
it's
you
know
a
customer
drug
customer,
and
so
it's
that
that
happens
and
that
that
will
happen
with
this.
R
B
I
think
that's
a
major
concern
of
people
who
are
concerned
about
their
privacy
that
this
this
database,
which
is
admittedly
going
to
be
a
large
number
of
of
data
points,
would
be
farmed
for
some
other
reason.
You
mentioned
that
the
sheriff's
department
holds
that
data
and
does
not
share
it.
R
Yeah,
so
I
could
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
so
in
our
policy
429.
It
specifically
talks
about
the
sharing
of
data
and,
if
I
can
get
to
it,
I
can
read
it
to
you.
R
Yeah,
you
have
you
have
the
old
one.
I
have
the
new
one,
so
the
ventura
county
sheriff's
office
shares
a-l
and
again.
This
is
on
our
public
website
venturasheriff.org.
R
You
can
look
this
policy
up
by
yourself
for
yourself,
the
ventura
county
sheriff's
office
shares
alpr
data
with
other
law
enforcement
agencies
upon
the
execution
of
an
interagency
agreement,
by
which
each
agency
agrees
that
all
alpr
data
will
be
gathered,
access
utilized
and
disclosed
in
accordance
with
applicable
law.
Each
agency,
by
way
of
the
agreement
further
commits
to
the
following
alpr
data,
shall
only
be
accessible
to
authorize
users
for
legitimate
purposes.
R
B
Okay,
I
noticed
on
it,
it
does,
it
does
say
it
does,
share
the
it
with
prosecutors
and
others.
R
Yeah,
yes,
so
that's
for
the
others.
Yes,
we
can
talk
about
that
once
say
we
have
a
case
and
we
we
find
a
vehicle
involved
with
our
case,
so
we'll
use
the
south
american
theft
group
that
I
was
speaking
with
that
data
that
that
license,
that
image
of
catching
them
go
by
the
license
plate
reader.
That
then
becomes
evidence
is
treated
just
like
any
other
evidence
and
will
be
shared
with
the
prosecution
will
be
shared
with
the
defense.
That's
what
that's
speaking
about.
B
Okay
and
then
the
the
data,
then
you
say
it
has
to
be
connected
with
a
case.
Therefore,
somebody
would
not
be
should
not
be
concerned
if
their
license
plate
is
picked
up,
say
an
undocumented
person
going
to
work
and
they
always
was
going
by
a
location.
R
B
And
if
somebody
were
to
go
to
say
planned
parenthood
or
go
to
a
church
in
the
area,
that
type
of
information
would
not
flag
and
be
tracked,
then
correct.
Okay,
that's
all
the
questions
I
have.
I
I
I
I
With
that,
I
want
to
thank
council
member
mcnamee
who
approached
our
toba
board.
With
the
suggestion
of
you
know,
what
does
what
does
our
membership
need
for
a
safe
environment
and
we
we'd
explored
that
at
depths
and
we
participated
a
workshop
held
at
the
ventura
county
sheriff's
office
here,
and
this
license
plate
reader
program,
I
think,
was
one
of
the
results
of
that
outreach.
I
Mr
mcnamee
did
a
lot
of
outreach
to
our
group
to
our
small
businesses
and
really
pioneered
this,
and
and
we're
very
thankful
that
you
did,
that
our
board
of
directors
thought
that
there
was
immense
value
in
partnering
with
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
and
showing
support
to
our
police
department,
and
therefore,
we
like
to
pledge
25
000
of
our
funds
towards
this
program,
because
we
feel
that
our
boulevard
and
our
namesake
thoroughfare
deserves
to
be
you
know,
protected
and
safe
and
use
any
and
all
technology
that's
reasonably
available
to
our
law
enforcement.
I
O
Good
evening
council,
my
name
is
matthew
hofschmidt,
I'm
a
long
time
resident
of
thousand
oaks
been
here
for
over
four
decades.
O
In
that
time,
seeing
how
the
city
has
grown
population
has
grown
and
the
safety
that
the
city
has
has
kept
me
in
the
area
and
I've
been
honored
to
travel
the
world
and
always
come
back
here
feeling
safe
having
personal
experience
with
these
lprs
I've
done
ride-alongs
with
the
los
angeles
county,
sheriff's
department,
and
in
that
time
the
first
time
I
ever
became
aware
of
this
was
there
was
an
alert
that
went
off.
I
heard
it
the
deputy
quickly
checked
made.
O
It
was
no
concern-
and
I
addressed
that
to
some
of
the
comments
that
you're
getting
from
other
constituents
is
yes,
there
is
a
privacy
concern,
but
we
are
in
the
digital
age,
we're
in
the
time
right
now
that
you
already
have
these
lprs
they're
already
on
the
the
cruisers
they're
already
in
the
city
they're
around
the
state
they're
already
there
and
that's
the
issue
is
we
are
in
the
digital
age?
All
you're
trying
to
do
is
look
at
how
to
expand
that
and
keep
the
city
safe.
O
Councilman
mcnamee
and
also
in
chief,
have
been
describing
some
more
serious
ones,
so
it
goes
to
all
the
perspectives
of
it
and
to
really
address
the
concerns
to
the
citizens,
personal
privacy.
I
do
understand-
and
I
do
respect
it,
but
there
is
safeguards
in
place.
I've
personally
have
spoken
to
deputies.
I've
looked
into
how
the
sheriff's
department
goes
about
keeping
our
personal
privacy
and
the
steps
that
they
have
to
go
through
the
qualifications
they
go
through
in
that
training
is
so
high
that
I
just
want
to.
As
another
citizen
say,
to
our
citizens.
O
O
B
Okay,
any
other
public
speakers
not
on
my
list
very
good.
Further
questions
for
staff.
B
I've
got
I've
got
one
question
for
staff
and
it
has
to
do
with
the
the
proposal
for
for
these
types
of
cameras
at
facilities
that
are
not
public
facilities,
in
other
words,
the
shopping,
centers
and
whatnot.
B
M
I,
like
the
promotion
that
we
accept
10
1
through
6
10a
1
through
6.
and.
D
Well,
thank
you
mayor,
and
I
want
to
thank
council
member
mcnamee
for
recognizing
early
on
the
value
of
these
license
plate
readers,
even
before
this
wave
of
thefts
that
we
seem
to
be
going
through
now
you
you
saw
that
value
and
you're
helping
us
makes
public
safety.
D
E
Yeah,
I
echo
what
council
member
adams
said,
so
that
was
really
very
a
good
idea
to
have
the
workshop
and
get
started
on
this,
and
I
look
forward
to
the
to
the
fruits
of
this
partnership
and
see
how
well
it
works
and
hopefully
we'll
catch
more
criminals.
B
And,
and
from
me
I
think
like
like
I
started
off
as
always:
there's
always
a
double-edged
sword.
I
think
the
value
of
this
outweighs
the
privacy
concerns
that
are
legitimate
concerns
from
our
our
members.
Chief,
you,
I
think,
you've
allayed
any
of
my
concerns
with
the
safeguards
that
are
in
place
for
our
sheriff's
department.
Once
again,
our
sheriff's
department,
I
think,
is
a
leader
in
a
lot
of
these
things,
and
I
you've
answered
my
concerns.
Thank
you.
M
The
genesis
of
this
program
10a
and
the
license
plate
readers
started
with
a
concerned
citizen
who
cared
enough
about
the
city
by
writing
a
letter
to
the
local
newspaper
who
pointed
out
that,
as
she
was
sitting
in
the
parking
lot
at
jansen
moore
park,
she
observed
a
drug
deal
go
down
so
outraged.
She
wrote
a
letter
that
I
read.
M
M
I
was
part
of
the
west
valley,
lapd
boosters,
that
put
in
license
plate
readers
and
cameras
there
in
the
west
valley,
which
was
a
forced
multiplier.
We
had
benefit
to
that
and
I
thought
why
not
bring
this
to
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
ricky
gelb.
Who
is
one
of
the
board
members
and
myself?
We
worked
about
eight
years
to
get
it
on
board
and
I
have
to
say
the
four
or
five
months
that
chief
paris
worked
on.
This
was
like
grease
lightning.
Thank
you,
chief
paris
for
expediting
this.
M
We
met
with
the
manhattan
police
department
council
member
there,
richard
montgomery
was
a
contact.
They've
had
tremendous
success
with
license
plate
readers
and
went
through
a
long
list
of
criminals.
They
were
able
to
take
off
the
street
that
normally
would
have
bypassed
and
been
working
in
their
own
community.
M
Captain
dan
cook
and
I
drove
down
there
had
a
wonderful
meeting
saw
how
they
did
their
program
brought.
That
information
back
saw
that
we
also
had
that
capacity
and
the
vision
that
could
occur
met
with
the
business
owners
up
and
down
the
boulevard
and
thousand
oaks,
as
well
as
moore
park
and
other
business
centers,
and
I
became
very
alarmed.
M
I'll
talk
to
the
manager
at
marshalls.
Who
tells
me
that
not
daily,
I'm
sorry,
not
weekly,
but
daily.
There's
snatching
grabs
that
are
occurring
in
their
store
where
people
will
pull
up
run
into
the
store,
grab,
merchandise,
run
back
into
the
car
and
drive
off.
I
talked
to
the
manager
at
old
navy
in
the
jans
mall.
M
Now
we've
got
stores
closing
blight
begins
to
happen.
People
are
unemployed,
city
doesn't
get
revenue
in
order
to
run
the
services
we
provide
like
filling
potholes
and
keeping
street
lights
on,
and
I
identified
this
as
a
big
problem,
because
if
I'm
reading
about
this
in
a
local
newspaper,
I
know
from
my
law
enforcement
background,
it's
more
prevalent
and
in
fact
I
spoke
to
the
woman
who's,
the
regional
manager
of
starbucks
about
how
things
were
going
and
had
they
been
impacted,
can't
see
people
running,
doing
snatch
and
grab
on
starbucks
coffee.
M
But
you
never
know,
but
she
shared
with
me
that
she
knows
that
drug
dealing
was
going
on
at
jansen
moore
park
for
some
four
years
that
she's
been
the
regional
manager.
They
refer
to
it
as
the
tar
pit,
tarpit,
meaning
heroin
sales.
I
do
not
and
will
not
tolerate
drug
sales.
In
my
city,
I
take
this
very
personally
license
plate
readers
go
a
long
way
to
stock
stop
drug
dealing.
M
M
M
We
have
sergeant
dylan
alvarez,
manhattan,
beach,
council,
member,
richard
montgomery,
their
captain
christian,
and
I
can
never
pronounce
his
last
name
correctly
for
allowing
us
to
see
what
they
do.
M
M
So
we
as
a
venture
county
community
with
our
neighbors
of
agora,
westlake
and
moore,
can
keep
the
criminals
out
when
the
manager
at
marshall's
tells
me
that
she
knows
the
people
who
are
coming
in
to
steal.
The
merchandise
are
coming
in
from
her
neighborhood
in
canoga
park,
they're
coming
in
from
outside
our
city,
and
I
would
like
to
protect
our
city
our
residents
and
make
it
a
safe
place
that
we've
always
known
it
to
be.
B
Mayor,
madam
clerk.
B
Very
good,
that's
the
last
item
of
of
on
our
agenda,
with
the
exception
of
our
city
manager
and
comments.
A
Thank
you
mayor.
Our
next
regularly
scheduled
council
meeting
will
be
on
tuesday
january
11th.
Our
agenda
is
still
shaping
up
for
that
meeting.
At
the
moment,
we
currently
have
two
department
reports,
including
a
six-month
report
from
teo
arts,
as
well
as
a
department
report
from
public
works
on
capital
improvements
at
lawrence
and
teller
intersection.
A
B
Thank
you
miss
hardy,
and
I
would
echo
that
very
happy
holidays
and
merry
christmas
to
everybody
in
the
city.
