 Good evening, everyone. If you can please take your seats, we are about to start. And I have an announcement to make for the Spanish speakers. Buenas noches, si tenemos en la audiencia personas que hablan español y necesiten la traducción del contenido de la conferencia del inglés al español, estoy a sus órdenes, estoy sentado en esta esquina y tengo el equipo de traducción. Simplemente necesitan hacérmelo saber. This was an announcement for the Spanish speakers that would require translations. Thank you. Gracias. Buenas noches. Thank you, everyone, for coming tonight. We're going to go ahead and get started. My name is David Guion. I'm with the City of Santa Rosa. I'm the director of planning and economic development and the assistant city manager. We're very proud to be here tonight. We have a big group of people here to answer questions. We've got tables in the back. A lot of resources for you. We're going to stay here to answer as many questions as we can for you. But the way we're going to run tonight is that we're going to have an opportunity for the agencies to talk a little bit. First, we're going to have FEMA and the Corps of Engineers come up and give a brief update on the debris removal process. Then we'll dive into an overview of the rebuild process. So, myself on the city side and my good friend, Tennis Wick from the Permit Sonoma will be giving an update on the permit process on both the county and the city process. Then we'll open up the audience for Q&A. So, we know we have a lot of questions out there on the rebuild effort. There are cards that are around on your chairs, little blue cards and pink cards. If you could put a question on that, we'll collect those, we'll group those, and then we'll go ahead and answer those. We have people walking around in blue shirts with Sonoma written on them. Please hand your card to them. We'll collect those cards and then we'll go through those and answer as many of those as we can up here at the microphone. After we answer a few questions, what we're going to do is break into tables. So, we have tables in the back for both the city, the county, the water department, and then there's also the Corps of Engineers in the room out the hallway. So, we'll be able to answer more specific one-on-one questions if you have them. We have a lot of communities to ask questions. If you do either on the card or come in person, and we'll be sure to answer those questions for you. So, that's the basic run of how tonight's going to work. We're going to go ahead and get started first with the Corps of Engineers. So, first, please help me welcome Robert Pesepin. He's the Branch One Director for FEMA and Colonel McFadden from the U.S. Corps of Engineers to talk about the debris process. Kevin, thank you for having me here tonight. I'm Robert Pesepin. He's the Branch One Director overseeing recovery efforts for Sonoma, Mendocino Lake, and Napa Counties. First, I want to touch quickly on our individual assistance program, what we've done to date. It's hard to think that we're a little over four months now into this recovery effort from the October Fires. On the individual assistance side, we've already dispersed $15 million in the hands of survivors. It's a combination of other needs assistance and housing assistance. La administración has approved over $120 million. That's a combination of home loans as well as business loans. And we've been working aggressively with county and city officials on the debris removal, which is our largest effort here in the county. Currently, we have in the back, once we break for the tables, we have staff from the individual assistance team. So if you're still having any issues with your FEMA application, received a denial, or are still working through your insurance please continue to work with FEMA. Our job is trying to get the yes if we can and want to be responsive to your needs. So we do have a team in the back. Equally important and timely in this topic of rebuilding is mitigation. So how do you build your home back better and stronger? And so we have staff in the back to talk about our mitigation programs and then some best practices that you can undertake as you go through your rebuild. In terms of the debris removal, for Sonoma County we're 72% complete on the debris removal. That includes complete removal of debris, the initial debris phase in Coffee Park. We're making steady progress in Fountain Grove. I also want to emphasize as we can continue to move through quickly with this debris removal with moving about 25,000 tons of debris a day in over 700 trucks on the road. We are working as quickly and safely as possible. To get into a little more details about the mission, I'm pleased and joined here by Colonel McFadden, who is the commander overseeing the entire Corps of Engineers mission and overseeing our prime contractors. With that, I'm going to turn over to Colonel McFadden. All right, thank you. First of all, thank you everybody. I'm honored to be here in front of you tonight. I can tell you that we wouldn't be here right now in the progress we're at if it didn't take the whole community to get there. Just kind of echo some of the things that Robert talked about. Right now, we've moved about 1.4 million tons of debris in Sonoma County alone. Just to echo about 72%, 1.1 million tons alone just in Sonoma County. Highlight, that means 2,860 parcels have been cleared of debris. However, we're in a phase right now which is called the final prep phase and so what we will be doing on each one of these parcels that are remaining, we're looking at removing the cars, installing some erosion control, sampling will be conducted and continue to go on, and then also hand debris cleanup and then final quality control checks before the county's notify that the parcels ready for rebuild. I am with here tonight. Obviously, I brought a crew of some of the Corps of Engineers folks that are out in the front. You may have seen them when you come in. This is where I ask for your assistance. Please share it with us tonight. We have issue and take forms. We have individuals that are here to answer your questions and if we can't answer your question tonight, we will take it back within about 48, 72 hours, get back with you at least an update on how we're answering the question you've asked of us. Our issue resolution process, the first step in any issue resolution process is understanding the issue and that's where we need your help and what your issue is, your contact information and how we can get back to you to address your issue. Without further ado, thank you. It's an honor to be here in front of you and I look forward to talking to you. Thank you and again they will be here in the back to answer questions after this so please remember if you have questions you can either see them in the back or again write them down on a note card and we'll answer them during the Q&A. So the next thing we want to do is give an update on the rebuild process. I'm going to invite Tennis Wick up. Tennis Wick is the director and we'll let him get started first. There's information behind us on the screen about the City Permit Center and the County Permit Center. We'll talk about both those, what the process is, what resources that are available to you at those locations and give an overview of process. So we'll start with the county first with Tennis. Thank you, David. Good evening everyone. So let me start first with the work that's been going on with fire survivors in the regular permit center. Many of you have been coming through there and getting permits for reconstructing your homes in the burn zone. We have 10 residences under construction there now, 11 bridges of the 72 that were destroyed. So progress is being made out there. It's really heartening to us to see you in our shop moving through the process quickly and coming out. For those of you who did go through before the board reduced the fee schedule we are automatically refunding you the difference. You don't need to submit a form. So if you are one of those individuals hopefully you'll be receiving a check from the county soon. For those of you who have not been through the permitting process yet for the county, we are in day three of the resiliency permit center. So this is a separate entity that you'll find outside of our normal office in modular buildings. It's housed by and staff by West Coast Consultants. WC3 is the recipient of the contract. They will be with us for at least three years. We're going to be there as long as the need is. And Mike Renner is a principal with the company. He will be the primary contact in the center. Rob Spalding, the gentleman in the black next to him is one of their, he's our chief building official. Any of the gray area questions that come up between the white shirt and the black shirt will be handled through those two. We want to make our customs and practices that aren't clear in our code get those resolved quickly. We negotiated I think a very good contract with WC3. You have a guaranteed reduced rate that's about 35 to 40% lower than the regular fee schedule. You'll be processed to first plan check in no less than five, no more than five days. What we're seeing is that's happening a lot faster. So what we're encouraging is electronic plan check which most of your designers will be happy to hear about. That helps us facilitate the speed in getting you through the system. We have digital scheduling telephone scheduling. We highly encourage that you contact us for a pre-application meeting. And it doesn't matter where you are in the design process. If you're still at the beginning maybe you're still trying to work things through with your insurance company. It's never too early to come see us. You can't come see us too much. We want to see you to get your package as complete and thorough as possible before it's submitted so we can get it through the process quickly and get you on to construction. So I'll leave it there and look forward to your questions. Thank you. If you're in the city of Santa Rosa limits you'll come to the city's permit center. It's again a separate center. We've been open since November 27th and we've currently processed as of today 21 plans have been approved through that program. En Santa Rosa County we have hired additional staff to get that through. We have our Steve Jensen who's in the back of the room at the back table. He oversees that group with Brian Spain and Gabe Osborne is at the back table as well to provide answer questions tonight. The center is dedicated for those that are rebuilding so focus on you again and again we're seeing about two to three day turnaround times on your first plan check and then a quick potentially over the counter one day turnaround time for the final check. So things are moving quickly and again the engineers and contractors and architects that are working through are getting used to the system and working with us so please if you have questions about the process if there's issues you're running into letting myself or Steve know and we'll work through them with you. The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 to 5 so you can come in any day through the week again it's at City Hall so make sure to come in if you have questions there's also a phone number there that we answer you will be able to answer your questions over the phone or via email so any way that you need to to get your questions addressed. One of the other things that we are doing that we're announcing is that we're going to have a wood shipping program that has been released today where there's trees and wood debris on properties we have two weekends identified now that we're going to offer a free shipping event they're February 24th and February 25th and this information is there's a flyer on the back table so if you want to pick one up and not have to write this down but it's two weekends February 24th and 25th be it Nagasawa Park on the 24th and Coffee Park on the 25th and then the second weekend is March 10th and March 11th Nagasawa Park on the 10th and Coffee Park on the 11th and so that'll be an opportunity for you to bring wood debris to have that chip for free and then we'll utilize those chips around in city parks and other things to help reuse that product in terms of the questions that are coming in we are seeing a desire to want to take a different look at your home potentially make changes to your home your footprint we understand that we're expecting that and we're supporting that effort so if you want to make changes you don't have to stay strictly to what your footprint is the staff has been seeing plans come in and seeing people want to update things and working through fairly quickly with those so please don't feel like you have to stick directly to your footprint if you have questions about that if you have ideas please talk to us and know that we are working through any changes and modifications that you want to make to your house so with that I think we want to give people time to write questions down we'll answer specific questions here in a minute but if you have questions please get them to people that are on the sides and I'm going to turn it over now to Rick Lopez you've got some good information and I'm going to be giving you hopefully some good information as you do look for towards hiring a contractor and to move on with the rebuilding project but in the few minutes that I'm going to be with you I actually as much as I'd like to avoid this I kind of want to scare you a little bit and stick with me here because it's important that as you enter the rebuilding project I'm going to be giving you some good information and I'm going to be giving you some good information it's important that as you enter the rebuilding process that you don't let your guard down that you be sure you keep your guard up if I could ask how many of the anybody here in the room who is opted out of the main debris cleanup and is taking the responsibility for the cleanup do we have anybody in the room that's doing that okay I want you to pay special attention one of the things that we fear that we are starting to see happen here in Sonoma County and that is an influx of unlicensed contractors and we're seeing it especially once I'm going to briefly talk about there is a person who's coming from out of state and has actually leased office space here in downtown Santa Rosa and is working without a license in procuring contracts we issued and we served a search warrant on his office yesterday and we want to warn you about him because we feel very strongly that he's going to continue to try to to take advantage of those of you who are taking care of your own debris removal his name is Peter Koch K-O-K-E he either goes by Koch cleanup or Koch demolition so if anybody has come across or possibly hired him for work I'd appreciate you if you can stop by and see me after the presentations we'd like to have our investigators get in touch with you but if you do get approached or he was doing ads on Craigslist and he is around be very careful he actually is from North Carolina this week he was convicted of insurance fraud and actually it was sentenced to probation and a couple years in jail back there so he is here in this area working and has given us every indication that he plans to stay here so the warning to you is to be very careful if you're handling your own debris removal another thing to let you know of is we are starting to see an increase in unlicensed contractors in other areas on January 27th about three weeks ago we conducted an undercover sting operation here in Santa Rosa where we used a partially damaged home and we posed as the homeowners and we ended up catching thirteen people who had taken out ads and solicited bids to do rebuilding work ten of those people are facing felony charges because of the disaster declaration in this area what is normally a misdemeanor which is contracting without a license can be charges of felony so ten of the thirteen people we caught will now face felony charges two of those people here's a way to be aware de que estos dos personas fueron contractores de licenciamiento y permitieron que sus licencias expieran 1 en el 2003 y 1 en el 2011 entonces ellos sabían que tenían que ser licenciados no han sido licenciados por mucho tiempo fueron pasados a su licenciamiento y fueron licenciados para hacer el trabajo el punto es que hay que mantener tu guardia hay que tener que tener en cuenta que estas personas están ahí y lo que hemos intentado publicar es que no es el área en el que hay que ser una niña negativa pero afortunadamente tenemos que bailar juntos si tienen el coro de la armada y los otros que están cuidando de tu removido pueden tener amigos o neighbors si no están aquí por favor por eso tienen que tener cuidado cuando están buscando para subir un contrato necesita ser licenciado para hacer el removido al menos que hayas solo asado si tienes la fundación no puede ser licenciado tiene la fundación por más de 18 millones pero si alguienaga si alguien tiene la fundación de eso le puede hacer el trabajo tener cuidado porque realmente debería ser licenciado a hacer la trabajo nosotros también estamos conductos en actividades de regulación y operaciones en el área estamos asociados este lugar es muy reimburseado hay un Cymnaga de la Cariñola del S Female La imperialidad de la Lara hay mucha gente aquí que quiere protegerlo. Ok, así que voy a brevemente a ver algunas de las cosas. Si estás buscando comprar un contrato o un par de features en nuestro sitio web que me gustaría saber. Uno de ellos ha sido alrededor de hace años. Es nuestra licencia instantánea. Así que si tienes un contrato que estás considerando o alguien que estás considerando y te vas a dar una bida, quieres ir adelante y mirar la información de licencia en nuestro sitio web. Puedes plugar en su número de licencia, su nombre de negocio, o incluso si eres el owner o alguien de ese licenciado, puedes plugar su nombre en. Ten cuidado en esos, porque puede haber un montón de John Smiths ahí. Así que el mejor way to search is by a license number. So when you're looking to find a contractor, if you get a flyer or you see a truck parked on the street, look by law they're required to have their contractor's license number and any advertising. That includes a business card, a flyer on the side of their truck and add online. So you wanna look, it's a six or seven digit number. Like the gentleman Mr. Coke I had mentioned earlier, he has applied for a contractor's license, that is on hold. But he was using his application number as saying that's how he was licensed. Well, I'm just waiting for the license to get sent to me. So you wanna look, it's either a six or seven digit number. You plug that in, you're gonna get the information on them, their name, their address, what license classification, which is very important. You wanna make sure that their license to do the kind of work that you're asking for. You also have information on their bond and also workers' compensation, which is very important. You wanna make sure if they're gonna have a crew out working on your property, that they're properly covered by workers' comp insurance. And that means if they get hurt while they're on your property, they're covered. If they're not, there's a chance they could come after you for their medical bills. So that's the last thing you wanna have happen. So you wanna be very sure and you don't necessarily wanna take their word for it. Ask them for information on their policy. You can get it on our website, but actually call the company and find out. Make sure that they haven't told the insurance company that they've got five office workers when in reality they've got 10 people out working in the field. They're trying to get cheaper rates so they're not trying to deceive you. So you have to do your homework, but it's something that you absolutely wanna check and be aware of. The other feature that I'd like you to know about is if you're just starting and don't even know who to call out or where you can even find a contractor to try to see if they're available. We've got a new feature. You can see it on our placard back there, but we have flyers for this. It's called Find My License Contractor. All you need to do is you need to plug in either your city or your zip code and the kind of contractor you're looking for, a general contractor is a B license. So there's a dropdown menu so you would put in Santa Rosa and a B license, hit the button, and you'll get a listing of every contractor in the local area who is licensed with an active B contractor's license. So you're not gonna get electricians in that, you're not gonna get plumbers, you're gonna get that. If you search for an electrician, you'll get that list, but you can be rest assured those people are all at that moment properly licensed to do the work. Some of these other websites and features that are out there that say they do background checks on contractors, that may be a good way to go as one of your checks, but there's no guarantee that people on those sites are actually licensed. So our feature, you are 100% guarantee that they will be a licensed contractor. And finally just a couple other points to make sure you're aware of. And again, we do have the information, we don't expect you to write to all the notes down. We have this that you can take with you. When it comes to down payments, be very careful of any contractor who tries to get a big payment out of you up front. Mr. Coke, I mentioned earlier, was getting usually between 10 and $20,000 up front to do debris clearing. And he took the money and bit a little bit of work. In some cases, some cases no work and took off. So the law in California, when it comes to these kind of projects is this down payment, you should pay no more than 10% or $1,000, whichever is less. So if your job is a somewhat small, I wanted to say it's $5,000, so your down payment should be no more than $500. So if you have a contractor coming and saying, I need to have the money up front, I need to get started, I need to go buy my materials, that should be a red flight to you, is why can't you even have credit? Don't you do this kind of work? Aren't you a professional business to do this? Be careful of the fly-by-night people who say they need you to front them the money. Your money is your best leverage over getting them to do their work. The law says that they can't ask for more than the 10% or $1,000 as a down payment. And then in your contract, you want to have set up what's called progress payments. When a part of the job gets done to your satisfaction, that's when you pay for that portion of the job. And it's spelled out in your contract. When the next part of the job is done to your satisfaction, you pay for that part of the contract. Don't let your payments get ahead of the work that's being done or the materials. If they're saying they've got to deliver your materials they have to pay, you may have to arrange to be there to pay the supplier yourself or write a two-party check, write it to the contractor and to the supply company. Different ways you want to go to protect yourselves. And then there's things you want to be aware of called mechanics leans. I won't get into all the details, but there's a lot of things and it can be a very complex process. So you really should do your homework. Be rest assured though, the contractor's board will be here with you. We have lots of information. We have a great 25-minute video that kind of guides you through the rebuilding process. I'd encourage you to watch that. It's on our website. And the last thing is to make sure that you're checking references. You want to actually go out and see the work. Be contractors and they're just in the city of Santa Rosa. There's more than 800 be contractors. But not all contractors who have that license are necessarily competent or have experienced building houses. So just because they're licensed to do that doesn't mean that they have experience. So you want to get references from them. You want to find out that they're not getting in over their heads. You actually want to go out and see the work, talk to the homeowner, find out did they show up on time, how did the payments go? Is the work the quality good? You want to actually check them out. And the last thing is, we talked a little bit about the permit centers that have been set up, is make sure that your contractor is the one who's pulling your permits. Don't let a contractor or somebody talk you into declaring yourself as an owner builder and you pull your own permits. The responsibility in that case falls on you. When the contractor pulls the permits, they are then responsible for making sure that the job passes all the code and all the inspections. If you pull it, it's all on you. So again, sorry if that sounds like I'm being a little bit of a downer, but it really is critically important at this point is to take a deep breath and realize that there's some homework and there's some things you're going to do. But there are a lot of good competent contractors there and there's a lot of people out here watching over you and making sure that you're not going to become a victim a second time. So we'd encourage you to utilize the services we do have a toll free hotline that's Monday through Friday from 8 to 5. You bypass our automated system. You'll go right to somebody. If you do have any questions about contractors, feel free to call us up. The number and everything is back on our table. So we'd encourage you to stop by and we'll look forward to answering any questions you may have later. Thank you. Yeah, thank you, Rick. That was very helpful information. Again, Rick will be back here and there is a table here for the contractor's license board. And can I get somebody from Santa Rosa to come up as well to help to answer some of the questions? So we have a list of questions here and Tennis is going to help facilitate this. I think we all have questions to go through so we'll get started. Now you find out how dumb the directors really are. They call up their experts here. So first question Tennis, how much can we extend the house? I assume they may expand the house without an extra fee from the county. So we have flat fees for park impact fees, road impact fees. So those are the same and those are waived actually for your projects. So there wouldn't be any increase because they're not being imposed in the first place. Affordable housing, some irony, would be imposed for the increment above what you had before. So what I would encourage is that you come in and see us as part of the pre-application. We established the square footage that you had before the fire and then help figure out what the fees will be exactly for your project when it comes in. Yes, sir. That's the square footage on all levels. Okay. So it looks like the city's still making up answers. For the county, no, keep at it. It's all right, take your time. Is it the job of the general contractor to arrange for well-inceptic inspection and for geotechnical tests? As far as work, I'm concerned that can be the property owner, it can be your general contractor, it could be your design professional. So hopefully that answers the question. As far as well, inceptic inspection, we're really keeping that at a cursory level to just demonstrate that those two elements of your property are still functioning. What we found is the fire impacted the electronics for the most part on each one. And we're only requiring something called a modified findings report for your septic system to make sure that it's still functioning. So practically speaking, that means as long as you flush, it doesn't daylight, we're good to go. Now I'm dumb and I'll bring up the experts. This is Mike Renner. All right, so that can be filled out by a licensed, I believe it's a C46 contractor, a civil engineer, or a registered environmental health specialist. And if you stop by our permit center, we have a list of approved vendors for that service. Cool, thanks Mike. Next question, can we have a trailer on our property, basically a fifth wheel until our home is finished? Absolutely. So we have a temporary, housing permit cost a whopping 63 bucks. And that allows you to have that trailer there from now until 31 December 2019. I would imagine if need be, we'll extend that with the board's permission. And it's really gratifying to me when I go through the fire area, to see not only the landscaping coming back, but trailers popping up on properties. That's exactly what we want. We want you back on your land, living there, whether it's in a trailer, a second unit, if you want to build that first, but we want you back on your property. So we're trying to make it as cheap and as easy as possible to get that trailer or whatever unit you're going to use for that transitional housing as soon as possible. Okay, bear with me here. I've got to read different handwriting with 60-year-old eyes. My house was built with 2x4s. I'm now required to build with 2x6s, which adds additional cost per square foot. Will the county consider additional square feet subject to reassessment for prop 13 purposes? So I want to make very clear where the permitting agency y I want to keep our people in our lane. If you have questions, when you come down to the Resiliency Permit Center, one of us will be happy to send or walk you over to a dedicated staffer that's in the assessor's office and they can answer very, very specific questions about what tax ramifications if any there will be for your project. Please address the costs and permit requirements for replacing all or portions of a septic system. So again, modified findings report to make sure your system still functioning as long as the world of septic systems and regulation, it's the number of bedrooms that counts. So if you're bringing back the same number of bedrooms, you're good to go. If you're building more than 640 square feet in additional square footage, then you'll have to upgrade your system to current regulations. If you're not, you won't. Thank you. How much can we extend the house without extra fee in the county? We already addressed that and having an RV on your property while construction's going on and what type of permit you need. So again, the temporary housing permit for the whopping sum of $83. So you'll be good to go. Okay, this last question here. I need to know how much, very nice writing, by the way. Thank you. I need to know how much I can recover from insurance before I can decide if I can rebuild. How can I find out the code upgrades that would apply? Great question. There are a lot of older homes were destroyed out there and we're going to, of course, people will be building to the new building code. So again, that's a really good question for pre-application when you come in and again, so here's someone who's starting pretty much at the beginning. We encourage you to come in and visit and the contact information is backed by Maggie Fleming who will be raising her hand. Maggie's our communications manager and would also encourage you to take that and review the city and counties websites because that's where we're going to be updating information. You folks are generating a lot of good questions and we want to provide the answers there too because many of your neighbors have the same questions. Also the block captains meetings that are held weekly for the Tubbsfire survivors at the water agency. Wednesday mornings at 7.30. We have a resource there not only here from us as regulators but service providers like PG&E and from each other about finding economies of scale. We're also setting up block captains meetings for nuns fire survivors in Sonoma Valley and as soon as that location and time is made final, we'll be posting that on the website as well. So at this point I'll hand it over to Dave for information from the city. Alright, so a question is about accessory dwelling units, second units asked about what are they and how are they, or the fees what are they and how are they determined. So the fees for second units we do have a fee schedule for that but just in general we did institute a new ADU policy similar to the county anything 750 square foot or less we've waived the demand fees except the water connection fees where required anything over 750 square feet would have an incremental cost so again those cost, there's a fee schedule on our website and you can check in the back for more detail information on that but we did lower the cost threshold to try to encourage more second units to be built we are encouraging second units as what the county policy went into effect to allow people to build their second unit first if that's something you want to do prior to your main residence that's an option. Another question is the city encouraging electronic plan check and do encourage yes we're doing that as well another question are there any special permit issues provisions for using prefab such as hybrid core or panelized plans so things such as hybrid core prefab involves the state so it would be a slightly different process where the state would approve the unit itself first and then it would go through a site designer site review through the city process so just be aware it is a two step process but we do allow it and we do support that product this one is there's sorry I think this has to do with security in the neighborhoods with supplies being stolen our police force and the sheriff departments are aware of this understand the fact that there's going to be a lot of construction a lot of materials, a lot of equipment that's out all at one time and through the reconstruction of 5000 homes so they do have a plan in place to make rounds to keep an eye on things so we'll have to make sure the law enforcement stays on top of that and they are aware of it can the city publish a short list of the top 20 or so universal code upgrades since 1970 for insurance purposes yes we could do that we could pull something together but it is a great idea it is a great idea thank you if the footprint of your old home was not compliant with current set back requirements can we rebuild in the old footprint we will grandfather you to build back in to what you were before if you build exactly back to that space the only caveat that we would have is if a creek set back so if you are close to the creek a la oficina y hablar con usted en la ciudad de la ciudad antes de que se mueva demasiado lejos, para que podamos asegurar que se ha hecho de una manera apropiada. Así que eso fue nuestro primer cliente y lo abrimos. Así que la pregunta fue, ¿qué haces si no puedes demostrar cómo es grande o dónde era su casa? Así que el propietario de la propiedad tenía una historia de la historia de la propiedad. Así que, nosotros fuimos a la oficina de los asesores. Llegó las notas del fiel y trabajó con ella para venir con lo que pensamos que era una determinación rígida. Procesa su revisión del diseño ese mismo día. Así que, de nuevo, me gustaría que te acercara, vamos a trabajar con ustedes en otras partes del gobierno de la ciudad para hacer nuestro mejor para establecer un estrés. No encontramos que las personas están bien en este proceso. Sabemos que estás tratando de llegar a donde estuvieras antes, así que podemos trabajar. Eso es, de nuevo, es una gran cosa para entrar y empezar con. Así que, te encourage a venir y visitar. Buenas tardes a todos. Mi nombre es Gabe Osburn. Soy el director deputado de Servicios de Desarrollo para la ciudad de Santa Rosa. Y voy a pasar a la pregunta sobre la ciudad. Así que, el primero, ¿de acuerdo con la ciudad, ¿de acuerdo con la acción de los asesores de los asesores y qué es el proceso y la costa? Sí, el proceso es bastante correcto. Puede ser hecho en nuestro centro de resiliación. Tenemos una hand-out que cubre los pasos que necesitan para conectar esa fuerza a agua, lo que es tu preferencia y los pasos son agregados por ese proceso. Así que eso es detallado en un documento en la cuenta en la cabeza. La segunda pregunta. Con referencia a los requerimientos de la cascada, los precios de agua en el Valle Hidden Water están reportados para ser adecuados para los precios residentes. ¿De acuerdo con la ciudad, ¿de acuerdo con esto? Así que, a la hora de la estación de la acción de los asesores, el sistema de agua es muy difícil de controlar. Es basado en muchos factor. Para propiedades que tienen la presión más baja, es una tasa y una pump que es actualmente instalada en el sitio para obtener la presión de la presión. A veces no hay mucho que puede ser hecho porque es el impacto principal que la presión de la presión tiene. Agrega eso. No te dará la presión de la presión de la presión que estás buscando. El puente y el pie ayudan desde un punto de vista volumen para el sistema de asesores, pero algunas de esas propiedades son la presión de la presión. Así que es muy típico ver la tasa y la cuenta de la pinta para eso. Es una parte del proceso de rebuild. Es una pinta privada y una pump, así que es una parte del sistema de asesores. Así que el propiedad de asesores. La siguiente pregunta es muy cercana a esa costa de asesores y la pregunta de la presión de agua. Es muy similar a la costa de asesores de asesores. El diseñador de asesores de asesores. Se verá. Tienes un contrato o producen la costa asociada con eso. Y la pregunta de asesores de asesores fue la última pregunta. Si tu casa o estación de asesores está cerca de la línea de propiedad y te cambias tu propiedad, ¿cuánto te puedes rebuildar? ¿Puedes utilizar las distancias de asesores de asesores de asesores? Así que eso es muy similar a algunas de las otras preguntas. Hacemos asesores de asesores de asesores si eres actualmente construido en la parte de asesores de asesores de asesores, la propiedad de asesores de asesores. Si eso puede ser determinado, pero en general tienes que estar dentro de la propiedad. ¿Es una lista de personas que hacen reportes geotecnológicas? Así que eso es un profesional de asesores de asesores. Normalmente lo que nos recomendamos a las personas es el exchanging de asesores de asesores de asesores de asesores o los grupos afiliados de asesores de asesores son muy buenos recursos para identificar esos tipos de profesionales de asesores de asesores de asesores. Y el último aquí es de varias partes. Es decir, la secuencia para el exchanging de asesores y tiene una lista de noticias. Es decir, número 1, cheque las propiedades de asesores de asesores, número 2, obtener un diseño arquitectural básico, número 3, cheque la planificación de la ciudad, número 4, los planos arquitecturales, número 5, obtener un permiso de la ciudad. ¿Es esto correcto? Es una secuencia muy buena. Normalmente lo que recomiendo es empezar con la ciudad primero para determinar tus asesores de asesores. Si tienes una idea general conceptual para lo que quieres hacer, no es difícil de dejarme saber para darles una idea de cómo se va a fitizar. A algún punto, esa revisión conceptual es útil, pero si puedes llegar a una dirección sin esa revisión conceptual de la ciudad, podrás despliegar eso un poco, empezar ahí y luego mover a tu revisión profesional con tu arquitecto y luego llegar al proceso de permiso. Entonces, la surveya de la ciudad y esto es realmente el lado de la ciudad, es realmente looking at para determinar espacially donde te colocas la fundación dentro del set. Y muchas de estas propiedades son los monumentos que existen en la propiedad que son el buen indicador de donde tu línea de propiedad puede ser tirada, puede estar ahí, lo que hemos visto en Coffee Park es un poco de un baguete mezclado. Si están ahí y puedes mezclar eso hacia donde la fundación está colocada dentro del set, esa es una forma en la que puede ser hecho. Si esos monumentos no existen, probablemente necesitas una surveya para certificar que la fundación está colocada en la ciudad. Sí, para la casa residencial. ¿Puedes restituir la pregunta para nosotros? Sí. ¿Tienes el precio para la propiedad? Sí. Así que tenemos, como mencioné, los precios de $83. Y eso es lo que la fundación se ha establecido y eso es lo que estamos encendiendo. Sí. Así que estoy consciente de tu situación. Podemos hablar después porque tenemos que dar dinero a vosotros. Sí. Sí. Sí. Sí. Sí. Así que si pudieras vernos después, podremos hacer las cosas correctas. Puedes. Gracias por tus pacientes. Una pregunta de un cliente aquí. Si mi casa tenía tres bedrooms, tenía tres bedrooms y sólo una subterránea de 1 bedroom, ¿pueden rebuildar la misma cosa? ¡Vamos a verlo! ¡Vamos a verlo! ¡Vamos a verlo! Así que lo que me gustaría es verlo, ¿porque tenés tu contratador? ¡No tenés el sistema! ¡Más pequeño, mas pequeño! ¡Puedes! ¡Puedes! ¡No te deseo! ¡Vamos a trabajar con vosotros y encontrar una solución que es unica. ¿Puedes ser considerado para el sistema de asociación, no. Entonces, siguiente, queríamos ir a Jason, porque Jason tenía una pregunta para que él se validara. Buenas noches, mi nombre es Jason Nutt, soy director de transformación en publico y director de recreación en los parques de la ciudad de Santa Rosa. Y tengo mi una pregunta que todos preguntan y se relaciona con Sidewalks. ¿Qué es la ciudad haciendo en relación con Sidewalks en el área de broma? Y estamos en el proceso de trabajar con nuestros parques, en FIMA, los ingenieros de la Armacorps y nuestros parques de utilidad para probar el mejor sistema al final del día para hacer que el Sidewalks se sienta y se sienta apropiado cuando todos están terminados con tus casas. ¿Estoy un poco evasivo? Partemente porque no sabemos exactamente lo que va a ser el final del proyecto. No sabemos cuánto va a ser reimbursado con FIMA, para determinar si el Sidewalks es tan malo o si el Sidewalks es tan malo. Ese es el proceso que vamos a trabajar en los próximos 60 días con FIMA. Ya tenemos un acuerdo con el ingenieros de la Armacorps, que si el proceso de broma es tan malo al Sidewalks, han agredido a compensar y reparar el Sidewalks. También hemos estado trabajando con PG&E y otras utilidades en las mismas líneas. Si tienen que hacer un trabajo que resulta en el trenchamiento a través del Sidewalks que resulta en daño, también van a ser compensados para hacer eso. Realistically, no queremos rebuilder el Sidewalks tres veces, queremos rebuilderlo una vez, y eso es parte de el esfuerzo de la coordinación que estamos intentando para asegurar que es todo lo que estamos haciendo. La otra parte de la pregunta relacionada con los árboles de la calle, los árboles de la calle que no se generará, serán removidos como parte de el proceso de remover. No tenemos un programa para replantar árboles a este momento. Vamos a trabajar con el equipo de Recreación y Parks para determinar cómo intentaremos repopular los árboles de la calle y las áreas de la tierra. Hay una gran cantidad de la tierra en el área de Fountain Grove, en particular, que fue burnada y completamente dañada como función de este fuego. No tenemos un plan de restauración a este momento. Estamos trabajando en eso como estamos hablando para determinar las opciones que podríamos llevarles. Sabemos que FEMA ayudará a remover para la costa de irrigación y la componencia eléctrica asociada con las áreas de la tierra, pero no remover para la costa de los árboles para replantar. Estamos trabajando en este programa. Estamos contentos de dar más notaciones como para que todos los árboles puedan recorrer un plan de restauración por el sentido de recorrer el camino a las áreas de la tierra. Y con eso, estamos trabajando para determinar las opciones para moderar las áreas de la tierra. D milding y el cambio de los árboles en el estado de la tierra. Estamos trabajando en este programa para determinar la fallida de las áreas de la tierra. No tenemos un plan de restauración a este momento. Estoy contento que los árboles de la ciudad, probablemente o sea donde la ciudad ha delegado la responsabilidad de mantenerla y cuidar el coche de los propietarios. Porque no es el camino público, estamos trabajando con FEMA y nuestros partners federales para intentar recuperar los costos de reparar esos coches por el lado de, no solo tú, sino nosotros, como el público, que usará eso. ¿Habíais cubierto el coche de la ciudad? Así que el coche de la ciudad sería algo que el coche de la ciudad sea parte de tu recuperación en el sitio. Señor. Entonces, ¿el coche de la ciudad tendrá que responder a esa pregunta? Gracias. Gracias mucho. Las dos preguntas, y luego un recuerdo que los oficiales estarán aquí para preguntar cuáles son las preguntas que tienes después de esto. Una buena pregunta aquí, para los test geotécnicos, un recuerdo geotécnico para salvar costos. Perfecto ejemplo de la escala de economía. Sí, y ya hemos trabajado un protocolo con todos los ingenieros geotécnicos en la ciudad sobre cómo esto puede suceder. No voy a entrar en los detalles ahora, pero la respuesta es sí. Y creo que es una buena cosa que estamos haciendo en cooperación con la comunidad de diseño. La última pregunta es el recuerdo de la ciudad. Kenwood, usted ha tenido una pregunta sobre la condición de la pierna, y cuando se repleteara a Laundale y a Shultz. Sé exactamente la parte que ustedいた sobre dónde hay celos y un bájaro. Como director這個 permit, no sabré, pero lo sé. Gozá y me veré a continuación, con tu información de contacto y el director de public works en contacto con usted. Gracias. Lo cerrimos en Salí, el as well as defensible space moving forward in the rebuild process. Thank you. Thank you. Now I'm going to turn it over to Ben Hornstein, who's the Santa Rosa Water Director. So as Dave noted, Ben Hornstein, the Director of Santa Rosa Water, a couple questions here. Can you provide an update on the water quality contamination in Fountain Grove? That question assumes a certain baseline of understanding. I think generally folks do understand as a result of fire. We do have some contamination in a designated area that you've seen on maps and there's one back there in the Fountain Grove area. We are actively investigating the cause and nature of this contamination. It is very unique typically in fires in areas like this. You don't see this around the country. So it is something we're struggling through. We're working closely with state, local, federal regulators and a team of national experts to help us. We have set an internal deadline to complete the investigation by the end of March in order to have the plan moving forward in place on how we're going to take care of this issue, how we're going to mitigate this contamination issue. I do want to say that at this point it does look like, more likely than not, we're going to have a wholesale replacement of the entire water pollution system. How will it impact the rebuild timeline? So I think there's two parts of that. The current plan, and I don't imagine it will change, is permits will be issued for rebuild in this area as it will through the other areas. We will not be able to allow occupancy of the homes until we're complete with that work upgrading the water system in that area or resolving it in some other manner. So the question was a follow up to what I noted asking if you will not allow occupancy, how will you get a loan that does exceed my knowledge in terms of the financing of your rebuild. I have heard sporadically that there are some issues with that. I'm hopeful once the city has a defined plan and schedule in place that would be something homeowners can provide lenders to show that there is a clear path the city is committed to and moving on to resolve this problem by date, by a target date. And I do want to call it a target date when we do have the schedule for the rebuild, things don't always happen on schedule. We have a great team of construction engineers that are looking at very creative ways to do this work, to accelerate the work at a very quick pace, far faster than it would otherwise be in a traditional project that we manage. We don't have the time, and I know some folks are very interested because there's decisions based on that, and I will say in a few weeks we will have that. Do I think those are the questions? Yes sir. That's a very good question and thank you for asking. The question was outside of that area, is there contamination? Do you not know? Have you sampled? The answer is we've done extensive sampling throughout Fountain Grove and throughout the city. In the only places we are detecting this contamination is in the advisory zone. I drink the water outside of it, and I do believe it's safe based on the extensive monitoring. Within that advisory zone we have valved off essentially all of it. We are seeing no migration and no signs of contamination elsewhere. We have to move on to the next speakers. The water department will be in the back, so you can ask additional questions. Again, there's going to be tables for each of the groups here that you can ask follow-up questions. We do want to get to Colonel McFadden, I believe, has some questions that he wants to answer, so I'll call him up. Thank you. Alright, so first of all, most of these questions are personal and nature have to deal with specific parcel issues. So, what I would like to do is, I'd like my team of social matters expert to raise your hands. They're around the room here. There's about five of us here tonight, and the reason I address your attention to them, those are the individuals that right after this in the room on the side, they could address your issue and capture your issue and make sure you respond to it. Just a couple of things here. My lot was cleared on the 11th of December and still no all clear from you, Sace, and why. So, again, I have my Major Matt Holbrook back there raising his hand right now. He's my issue resolution officer, and he'll be able to capture that issue, and they will be able to check on the status of that parcel, and hopefully be able to explain why in fact that happened. We have a big trench in our yard from our Army Corps contractors, can we get assistance refilling the three-foot deep trench. Again, if we need to capture the issue, capture the point of contact, and so we can check on that. That has been cleared for a couple weeks except for the burned cars. When can we expect these to be removed? So, it's a two-part process, DMV goes out and verifies the van on these vehicles. Once the van is verified, then the contractor comes back and removes those cars. That is what in the phase after debris removal we'll call the final prep phase before the county's notified. And again, if we could get your name and contact information, we can check on that status for you. We already talked about sidewalks. Why did they take some driveways and leave others? So there's a couple different reasons that possibly this could have happened. If the driveway, part of the driveway was in the ash footprint and was damaged by the fire, that would have been one reason. If it was damaged during debris removal operations, that would have been another reason. I would like to address this specifically, so if we could also capture the specific address and the contact information right after this. Thank you very much. We're talking to you. Thanks. And finally, I'd like to invite Robert Pesping from FEMA. He's got a few questions to answer. One. Okay. There we go. All right. Question is, is it possible to get a copy of the soil test? If so, how? Do these tests include the geotechnical report that determines load to ensure that there are no expansive or localifiable soils? So we're working through the process now as we return these properties back to the county and then they notify you, the homeowner, some additional information. And that's, we're working on that now. I do not believe that the soil tests will be included in the homeowner's report that's issued back to you in regards to your property, but certainly willing to, if this is a concern of the survivors, willing to look into that. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I can talk to that. So you're correct. So if you don't have a soils test, what we're finding in areas like Coffee Park and others, that we are asking that a soils test be done and brought in so we can make sure that whatever is built, whatever footprint or foundation you use is appropriate and can be a successful project. So we are asking that you bring in a soils report for that. So at this point, what we're going to do is we're going to break into tables. So we have the contractors board with the county. We've got the city, the water department, core of engineers. Feel free to ask questions and thank you very much for coming tonight. We appreciate it.
