In fact, my favorite thing to do is actually biking my kids on these fancy cargo bikes So I've got my five and six year old in the back Which has about another hundred fifty pounds. I feel comfortable and stable, but there are some places Around town that I'm I'd like to ask for you guys to consider Adding to the public works budget to consider repair and kind of primarily in one area And that would be on the westbound on Park Avenue Westbound heading from Sao Paulo into Capitola and I find that the my most. Oh, I don't know treacherous Part is as I come underneath that overpass there is a There's a city sewer or city drain that takes up the entire bike lane and It's not only myself, but it's my peers that that I find kind of navigate this I had a Conversation I can't fire about the bike paths and and also kind of stumble upon this conversation that it's also a soft point and sore spot for a number of other cyclists I see Middle schoolers elementary schoolers taking the same path and driving over it And what ends up happening is that you can't stay in that bike lane You have to gear into you have to kind of merge into traffic to get around it It's usually we're we're headed to school along with the other kids at the same time as people are headed to work heads down just kind of you know a lot of times they can be asking minded and I feel Like it can as a threat or at least a concert of mine and and other community members So if I may I'd like to ask that you guys consider adding adding to the public works budget to consider a pair Along Park Avenue and I'll give you mine specifically for the for the bike lanes Thanks for your consideration. Yeah, thank you, Mr. McBroom for bringing that to our attention Just as a matter of clarification So that we can maybe Better understand exactly the area you're speaking of you mentioned This is just coming from so Cal Just past the overpass. But is it before you get to Kennedy Drive your story? I may have removed his permission to talk Okay, oh, here he is. Oh, sorry Did you hear my question? Yes? Okay It's as you pat if you're coming in the bike lane from so Cal pass underneath the overpass And it's at the center lights of the exit ramp as people are leaving the freeway into town Good. Okay.

Okay Is there anyone else that would like to speak in public comment there's story I Now I do not see any other with their hands raised and we have not received any emails. Okay With that I'm going to move a song now to item number five, which is Staff and city council comments. Are there any staff comments? Just a few first. I do want to apologize as the city clerk mentioned the website is down It is a remarkably Challenging situation fix not as easy as one would think we are on it and doing our best to get it back live In addition, I just want to also announce that tomorrow will be the first side of the capitol leadership Academy We have 21 participants this year, which means it's one of the larger classes. We've seen in a number of years So we're really looking forward to doing that process with some folks who want to become more involved with the city Any other staff comments? See none, I'll bring it to council comments and we'll start with council member Bertrand Thank you, mayor. So I just want to thank Roy McRoom to Come to the city council zoom meeting and talk about his concern I didn't concern about that. Also. I recently brought it up last week with our director of public works and I brought this up multiple times in the past because I noticed a lot of the students that go to Junior high across the street from us. They take that route. So you're not the only one Some of the kids that come through there and they also skateboard. So I appreciate your comments and your detail of the Problem we have a great one on Park Avenue But when they go underneath the freeway freeway as you just described it is a problem And so thank you again for your participation Appreciate it. Yeah, thank you council member Bertrand. Any other council members have comments? Do you know hands raised? I wanted to make a comment and this is in reference to Officer Al Ferrado from the Salinas Police Department, which last Friday night was killed during a routine traffic stop and I just want to extend it to You know his family and and the Salinas Police Department are both with Condolences for their law and and and and I didn't know That some of our Officers went to the Academy with Officer Al Ferrado. And so I Want to extend, you know our sympathies for them and also encourage if there's Any ways that we could help Reach out and support Salinas Police Department As well as you know the members of the Capotas Department You know after this tragic event, I certainly would like to hear From Chief Valley ways that we could do that Yes, and at the appropriate time if nothing else to maybe send a letter of support To the Salinas Police Department And I know that you know and as Jamie has done has put the flag down at half-mass Which will be that way until the memorial service and hopefully we can be kept informed about when that may be So I just want to and unfortunately wanted to acknowledge that And and share, you know our our sympathy To the Salinas Police Department And so those are my thoughts Comments this evening and with that let's move on to the consent items The consent items will be handled in one motion unless Any council members which to pull it for further discussion There's only one item this evening on consent and that's the fiscal year 22 23 budget calendar So what's the will of the council? I'll move approval of the consent There's a motion to approve if there's second second second that And there's a motion and a second so we have a roll call though Chloe And the consent agenda passes unanimously Which brings us to our general government public hearing portion of the meeting this evening on and That will be a presentation and on the 22 23 budget budget principles and Council goals the recommended action is to adopt the fiscal year 22 23 budget principles and goals and Identify related project and program and we have a staff report, please Let's thank you mayor story And thank you council for approving the budget calendar I will get to coordinate with the city clerk to get that on to all of our city calendars and We'll take one moment to share my screen Does that look okay, Larry? Yes, that looks great. Thank you So by way of background as you're all well aware each year we prepare and adopt a budget Which provides the city council direction? regarding our day-to-day functions and establishes the framework for our delivery of services to the community adopting budget goals and principles and Identifying some key projects establishes some metrics in which we can measure performance And it also helps clearly articulate the council's priorities to the residents So budget principles goals and key projects principles provide the overarching guide to budget development Like gold where goals look at a high-level look and how to implement the budget to comply with the principles And then key projects drill down a little bit deeper into line item detail within the budget to achieve the budget goals Underneath those budget principles and these three together help focus staff and the city council on the important stuff that we have ahead of us So as far as high-level budget principles, we basically have three we have fiscal policy public service and public improvement principles As far as fiscal policy principles those consist of maintaining a balanced budget that ensures ongoing expenditures can be met with ongoing revenues Use one-time revenues for one-time expenditures and ensure the budget plans for future cost increases and attainable revenue estimates Public service principles consist of maintaining and improving upon the transparency of city operations and government accessibility Recognize the high priority that the community places on the public safety And analyze future service level increases with their long-term financial impacts to ensure fiscal stability Public improvement principles consist of maintaining the city's infrastructure by providing maximum funding for the pavement management system Maintain and improve capital as natural resources and sustainable green programs And ensure maintenance and cleanness of city facilities sidewalks and streets So I'd like to give a little bit of a status update on last year's goals Before we start talking about next year So we had developed options for council consideration to address rising Calchurst thoughts We've had some conversations on the fact Or in the fact and that's an ongoing project that we continue to try to figure out how to attack that one Working with the Finance Advisory Committee to identify future revenue options. That's also ongoing Continue working with capital of all ownership Grooved for redevelopment of the mall. That's currently on hold due to the pandemic Work towards coastal commission certification of the zoning code update our community development department completed that in May for 2021 Our COVID-19 response. We have a few things as far as response First is administering CDBG grant funds, which is ongoing and just put a little context to that So far we've gotten about $244,000 of grants out to the community 150,000 was for small businesses and 94,000 between second harvest community bridges and gray bears And we still have more money. We're still getting more additional funding out as as we can Collaborating with regional partners on the state rental assistance program. That is an ongoing project right now Maintain City Hall operation protocols to ensure health and safety of the public as well as the staff that is ongoing and changes as Cases change and CDC recommendations and state recommendations change and Then working with the local restaurateurs to establish parameters for the temporary outward dining That was completed early last fiscal year as far as the temporary stuff Transition from COVID-19 back to normal operations again That one's kind of an ongoing thing where we keep adjusting based on CDC state and county recommendations But we are continually monitoring revenues and expenditures We have explored grant opportunities for public safety couple improvement program environmental policies and outreach programs Right now we have a community development department is working on an active CVG application That would cover three years of food assistance for the community The police department has received a tobacco grant and will be applying for an alcohol grant Those are those grants are both for enforcement as well as education Reviewing parklets or outdoor dining And as you recall our sidewalk and street dining ordinance was adopted in December of 21 And it's currently under review by the Coastal Commission and The other piece of that was to review the village parking program once we kind of figured out the street dining So we'll be bringing that I believe we're actually gonna kind of refresh that at the next council meeting And get that going again The next one make available them pre feminine hygiene products for all public restrooms that projects been completed Expand the emergency response planning and pursue grants for city hall generator. We have received $300,000 grant and we've also Added $90,000 from our facility fund that project is in progress Have city council creates that priorities for community grants. We've gone through the Study and those results will be presented to city council next month in April Speaking of partnership with the school district regarding the soccer field So the recreation staff and the school district have been working towards a revised agreement for the community center, but with COVID Restrictions the soccer field is kind of on the back burner right now But once we get through that agreement on the community center, then we'll kind of revive the soccer field Project is again our conversation at least Partnership with scott's valley regarding recreation summer programs and services the city council in scott's valley decided to go a different direction and work with a Non-profit, so we didn't do anything but that one is technically complete Updated our admin policies. We've done a number over the past year. We still have a long list That's still need to get we need to still need to get through so that'll be ongoing Or at least recommend it to be ongoing Monterey Park picnic tables will have that completed before the end of this fiscal year Or signage from pacco blocks to the beach in the village that's been completed Our implicit bias training for staff. We've had two training sessions so far the third Was just rescheduled for early june, so we will have that done by the end of the fiscal year Prioritize our affordable housing and building community relationships On this we've updated the inclusionary housing ordinance We've completed the affordable housing nexus study and feasibility study And we've adopted new affordable housing include these and impact the The community or building community relationships is ongoing Community development part has been working on that continues to work on that That'll my guess will be kind of an ongoing constant As far as capital improvement projects, we had the 41st Avenue adaptive signal That is grant funded and currently in construction We have the Monterey and park rail road station park and pathway The pathway is in design. It's also funded and then the rest of that RTC funding will follow. I think For the park piece of it sometime in the future David management program that's ongoing They're working on that now. We kind of work on that every year and we fund it annually based on available resources Risk risk and park as you recall at the mid-year. We funded that project and we'll fit that out later this spring The utility undergrounding they're at Bay Avenue and Kebabs We're working with PG and the Undergrounding is funded and then we also have the roundabout design that kept the same intersection That'll follow the utility undergrounding sometimes To be determined in the future and as of right now just the pre-design and the outreach is funded So work improvement project, uh, Steve reported last week the phase one is completed Phase two can be bid out the summer pending city council direction And as you recall currently we have about 4.7 million available The full project that was presented last week is 7 million and then Steve presented some options That kind of fall in between that 4.7 and 7 million dollar range that we can discuss a little bit later Claire's pedestrian improvements in design and will be bid out this spring. It's fully funded And then the last four there that kept Kebabs sidewalk Keptola library bloom rehab and jetty rehab. We're all completed this past fiscal year And that kind of covers The high arching budget principles and last year's goals So i'm going to turn it over to city manager Goldstein and start looking forward to next year Well before we get into the next phase, but I wanted to maybe put it out to council and see if they had any questions About what you had just gone reviewed jim. Sure. So, um Looks like we have uh council member brooks Thank you mayor story. Um, just a couple questions about some of the items like the Implicit bias training and the funding for like free feminine hygiene Are we to assume that this is is going to continue into the next year or I just can't remember where we left off So as you know, when we start talking about priorities, whether it's to assume that Yes, there will be free Um hygiene products for for all of our bathrooms in the next years to come. So that's my first question That's my understanding is that the um The centers are are have all been installed and then our may just so keep them fully or not fully stopped but keep them stock as okay Great and then for the implicit bias training Um, jamey you might have to help me remember. Did we decide that we're going to continue to Did we create a timeline on how often we're going to be doing this or? so I don't For general staff, we better to contract with circle up and they've been providing the staff the training for staff and Our police officers and so we're one training away from completing that scope of work I think if we wanted to be a recurring thing, I think we would need to make that decision I don't think we've made a final decision about recurring training in that regard Okay, great. Thank you very much. Those are my questions Council member for triumph Thank you, mayor. My question is about the clear street of pedestrian improvements um So we're redoing clear street in general, right? Leaving their council. Yeah, the project includes repaving clear street from morpher to 41st and then installing various uh bike and pedestrian improvements Okay, so in a sense that's the project that's been approved. It just wasn't on the list. So that's why I'm I'm asking that's all Yeah, so we're calling today Clear street pedestrian. I guess what it was called originally It's definitely more than beyond that that it is a fully complete street project Okay, thanks. That's my my major question and um Okay, I'll say my other question now that you're on Steve I'm glad to see someone to talk about the Park Avenue issue. Thanks from any other council members Seeing none Jim, I did have a question of concerning the partnership with the school district Over the soccer regarding the soccer field Which soccer field are we talking about the one in jade street or a Monterey park? I believe Monterey park The Monterey park, okay I think maybe if we could just you know clarify that on our chart so we know We'll do okay with that jimmy you want to Pick it up from there Yeah, I will Yeah, I just is looking at this list in the conversation about park avenue. I do think I do think we missed the project Steve do you chime in here? We put funding into a park out. I know you have something in design right now for some options to improve bike lanes on park avenue We do we have a traffic calming project, but it does focus on I would say from Coronado to Monterey We didn't really look at the freeway. We could actually bring that in as part of this project Under the freeway if we wanted to but there is a hundred thousand dollars We have one preliminary design. We're trying to get a couple options for return to council Okay, I apologize for missing that one on that list, but that is another project that's in the works that does have funding Okay, if I may Mayor if I may just make a comment. Yeah, go ahead council member Yeah, so rgc is going to be funding improvements and bike lanes on so kell and you know, I brought this subject up Because I didn't know where the city boundaries were when we discussed this And the rgc. So it's the same issue of going on in the freeway Overpass and I don't know if there's going to be more traffic, but I can anticipate more traffic if so kell gets improvements and you know That whole section there's a good bike lane on either side of the freeway, but going underneath that overpass I do things problematic. So see if that could be included. That'd be great Um And I did not ask rory to make a comment I'm glad he did though. It's nice to know that the public has the same concern I think we can leapfrog and not bring in the area where the eucalyptus trees are but we could certainly Bring in the uh the couch hands property and uh And looked our improvements there. So that is all in couch hands right away But we are responsible for the park avenue improvements as they go through there Okay, well, I look for look to you to manage that. Thank you very much. So Okay Mr. Mayor, are we ready to proceed? Yeah, okay so We're proposing a little bit of a different structure Uh that we have done in the past for this goal setting and one of the things I thought might be helpful Is to take a look back at our mid-year report that we just did Um a couple weeks ago maybe a month ago and remind everybody about the resources that we identified that exist within the city budget So you'll recall that we ended up after the mid-year adjustments with about 2.4 million dollars in general fund balance And that's including the 600 k in the covet reserve account So it's 1.8 at this point sort of pure general fund and then 600 k in the covet account In addition, we have about $250,000 more than american rescue plan that we have not yet counted for that is available to be allocated to projects Um next year's budget will include around 1.1 million dollars in measure f funding You'll recall measure f with the voter approved initiative that was intended to be dedicated towards Sort of our infrastructure facing the beach That 1.1 million dollars is a rough estimate. We haven't done our budget estimates yet for next year But that's probably in the ballpark where it'll end up Uh in addition, you'll remember that we identified a certain amount of ongoing revenue at the mid-year I think it was around 675 k or so and we appropriated about 300 k of that for this year So there there is another chunk of unallocated ongoing revenue That that is available at this time to allocate to key projects that the council is looking to to implement And then we're going to go into the budget process And when we go into the budget process, we'll be looking at, you know, another estimate of this year's revenues and expenditures And then our estimates for next year. And so I can't tell you how much there may be carry over from this year or what the resources will be in next year but Setting that aside for a moment. We have about 4.13 million dollars of fund balance or Funding that can be allocated towards key projects at this time Um in the past we've sort of operated with around a $500,000 fund balance target Um given the level of uncertainty. I think Just with where we are right now Um, I would suggest probably aiming for something higher, maybe a $750,000 fund balance target Or alternatively we could aim for Hypothetically a, you know, take the COVID account down a little bit and then aim for the $500,000 fund balance target But if you do that that leaves around 3.4 million dollars available To dedicate towards key projects and goals When we Jim presented the Progress on the different goals from last year We have a number of them that we would recommend carrying over to this next fiscal year They include looking at the CalPERS costs It's been an ongoing challenge for a long period of time and we do actually have potentially a key project To help address that Continue to work with the finance advisory committee on future revenue options Um, and you'll know we also have the Parking rate discussion that'll be coming in front of council, which is related to that and in addition you'll see a goal potential work plan goal for next year to think about a ballot initiative Or whether we want to do that coming up in the 22 November election The mall obviously remains a high priority for the city Of course until the developers are prepared to move a project forward We are in a bit of a holding pattern, but I think it should remain as a goal. I recommend it remaining as a goal for the city Continuing to respond to COVID I'm hopeful as I was a year ago at this time that we are moving beyond this But you know our hopes have been dashed in the past. So I think we just need to continue to monitor um the situation Again moving forward with the transition back to normal operations And continue to seek grants whether it's in public safety for cip or environmental programs or community outreach cdbg, etc Next slide please As i've mentioned, um, we're going to be tackling we're going to start the conversation about village parking rates at our next meeting It's not going to be a final decision for anybody who's tuning in It'll be just sort of a work plan and going through different options for the work plan for council consideration Um the community grant project has been an ongoing one And that is I think we have an april the hearing with our consultants who's going to start sort of diving into our process I'm looking at some of our priorities I think that the partnership with the school district around the potential soccer field at Monterey park Remains should remain a priority. Um, obviously at this point We need to maybe focus first on jade street properties And once we get that done then we can look over it at Monterey park Continue the updated admin policies um Continue to prioritize the affordable housing projects You'll recall that we received two million dollars and repaid affordable housing loans this last year So we do have resources to assist with key affordable housing projects should they crop up And then complete the cip projects keep them moving forward So those were the those none of those were new those were all from prior year There's definitely some heavy lifts in there. Uh, the community grants. I don't think anybody assumes is going to be an easy process And village parking is always Uh, robust debate. So there's a fair amount of um a fair amount of work associated with getting those items done Then in addition, I put out a few sort of Sort of first draft proposals on kind of work plan items Now the idea behind these is that they may involve a lot of staff time council time community outreach But often they don't involve a huge amount of cost So the housing element update is going to be a very significant work effort for us this next year Councilmember Peterson has kept us abreast of the current situation with the housing arena housing Allocation from ambag and it's going to be it's going to be a challenge to find spots to accommodate all those units You're um, apparently going to be assigned Um enhancing community outreach. This there's a number of different ideas that my staff has I think it's a priority for this council and certainly for me To always try to be finding ways to better communicate with the public Uh, and I think that that's something we should always keep our eye on The regional bike share program has been something that our planning staff has been working hard on coordinating with the county the cities of sanacruz, watsonville and scott's valley as well as A ucsc and we are hopeful that we'll be able to bring a proposed contract with a regional vendor to the council Coming up here. Uh, hopefully in the next six months Comprehensive fee study. This is something that we do in our um finance department I think the goal is to do it every five years and it's due again The hope is to do it in-house rather than bringing consultants in Which reduces costs, but obviously is a workload issue Um the november ballot november ballot is um any items that we would want to consider putting on we have to Decide on that by the end of july I know that before the 2020 general election We had a conversation about whether we wanted to put a tax measure on and ultimately decided to defer it Given the situation with the pandemic So I would suggest If council agrees that this could be something that we would agendize for a future meeting and have a Dive into whether or not we want to talk about ballot measures for the november election Memorial bench program. This is something that needs some work. Most of our memorial benches are old My staff has some ideas some revisions to the program to bring to council in the coming year We want to get more parking enforcement done with bikes um in the police department has some plans around that and then interesting kind of inside baseball is as we do need to update our special event permit process Right now we have a host of different code sections and policies that govern how these things Are issued and I think we can achieve some streamlining and some consistency improvements by fixing that With all of these projects like I said before it's mostly a staff time thing Probably the biggest cost associated with these would be obviously the housing element update Which can be funded with our dedicated general plan update fund as well as the Potential funding should we decide to look into ballot measures for potentially community polling To take a look at where the community their feedback about different ideas that we might have for the november election Um next item, please So those were the carryover and the kind of the new work plan ideas that I wanted to toss out And then in addition now we have a some projects to consider Allocating funding to this wouldn't be a publication of funding This is sort of the first step in the budgeting process But if we can get the guidance now we can prepare a draft budget that reflects the council's goals So you'll recall as jim mentioned and we had a hearing on last meeting that we're about 2.3 million dollars away from full funding about 2 million dollars away from um from funding everything except for the floating docks We can obviously scale the project back further if it's the council's desire to do so However, there is an economy of scale is once you have a marine contractor mobilized and on site There's a decent argument and also the permits. It's a very complicated regulatory environment working on the wharf So once you're there you want to get the job done Um the community center council is aware that we are in negotiations about a lease extension for um with the school district For the community center in jade street park Um the community center needs a lot of work There's sort of near term needs the things that really need to be addressed soon probably between 150 and 400 thousand dollars The building itself potentially needs maybe a complete renovation and that's probably in the one to two million dollar range But that's really that's a rough number at this point Um the library taught lot. That's a discussion. I did not include in the staff report I was remiss to to have missed it. It came up at a recent meeting when we were talking about the closeout of the library project and this would be for uh for Enhancements to the taught lot improvements. We doing the taught lot at the library um Local hazard mitigation projects last meeting steed gave us a good in-depth review of kind of what's in our hazard mitigation project reminded all of us and you know, there's a number of projects that I would suggest we should think about kicking off one is um Something that you know, the city hall is in the flood plain. We flooded once The building is in dire need of repair Do we want to take a look at making a plan? You're figuring out is it is this the site where we're sitting and we're going to figure out a way to Abite bait the flood risk or are we going to try to relocate? um, so the suggestion here is it's a fun maybe a Third party to come in and help facilitate a bit of a dialogue and a pros and cons Analysis to come up with what our long-term plan is would be for city hall Stockton bridge that's called out as I think one of the higher other highest risk things the lhmp um And we did the initial study on that to identify the options to improve stockton bridge And I think that there's a number of different options that can start getting funded around the 350 range All the way up to a complete new bridge that would be Standing the creek entirely and wouldn't have legs down in the water anymore that potentially catch logs in high flow um We talked about this in the lhmp presentation We got last meeting started potentially kicking off a study to look at what the options would be around the bluff and the cliff drive stability slope stability um, and again another item that we discussed briefly was doing some engineering feasibility analysis about what we can do with noble college And lastly, uh, it's called out again in the lhmp is fire risk reduction fires always a concern growing concern california for sure and the city does manage a number of eucalyptus groves, uh, and that that is another spot where we could put money and Managing that and putting more resources into managing the eucalyptus groves and reducing fire hazard there next slide, please um It's a little incongruous to talk about maintaining city hall and also talking about Study for a new city hall But the current building is in pretty bad shape. I don't know that a hundred thousand dollars is is the minimum but the building is is is tottering at this point and so Do you think that we could consider putting some money in uh to the facility? Just to tide us over because regardless of what we do we're probably You know four to five years out from anything really happening. So we are stuck with what we've got for a bit of time McGregor sidewalk is an exceptionally expensive project. Uh council previously Historically has talked about this as being a safe way a pedestrian path to get to McGregor park You know, there are ways to go not on the street if people kind of traverse through new Brighton state park, but they're pretty informal. Um It's a shockingly expensive sidewalk really because it's effectively a bridge You know the the pathway the sidewalk would have to be basically hanging out over the over a retaining wall Um, and then there's a number of plant projects that are possible that we could consider from our climate action plan Climate action plan talks about trying to increase community charging stations I think electric vehicle sales double in 2021 compared to 2020 in california california Is the leader nationwide in electric vehicle sales? And I think that the demand for charging stations is only going to grow They run around ten thousand dollars of each and I think that that that is a concrete step We could take to help encourage folks to transition to electric vehicles The roundabout at bay avenue and kappa av that and the signal timing project are called out as two sort of infrastructure changes The city could make to help with um a carbon reduction The signal timing project is obviously in construction on 41st and that has a significant impact The roundabout of bay avenue and capitol would have one as well Um, it's a heavy lift though. It's a lot of money uh, and then We're suggesting improving sort of the overall um Bike conditions and we could we're suggesting potentially $50,000 You could put more in to start addressing and trying to go through the city and do what we can to improve bikeways throughout the city Uh, period park bridge maintenance. You'll recall we did an emergency repair to that bridge But steve thinks that there's probably some other long-term repairs we could make Something I wanted to put on your radar about a hundred thousand dollars there um The bike park was constructed more than five years ago now and it's time for it to be renovated Uh, we do think we have a potential couple potential donor and a potential grant That could be used to do that So I don't think it needs a general fund allocation at this time But I do think it's something we could include it as a key project for that grant and uh donation funding and then Right now our calper's trust which is one of the tools that we're using to sort of Stave off some of the worst impacts of potential increases to our pension rates As well as a potential bridge to manage The construction of the mole when that project happens I believe we established a target of two One-year funding in calp in that fund and we're about a million dollars short at this point of that one-year funding in the calper's trust And then lastly pavement management pavement management is never-ending Need in the city we do have the sb1 the rtc funding Fair number of dedicated sources that now come in for pavement management, but there's always more need So there's always the um ability of the council to put more funding into pavement management So those are all the ideas that I've heard and those are ideas that have been either discussed by the council previous budget sessions staff has identified as real needs Things that have come up in recent discussions So we were trying to attach kind of rough budget pictures to all of those different sort of projects for council to think about So for this evening what we're hoping for is to get council action to confirm the high level budget principles Those are the ones we've been operating under for a number of years Uh, confirm the carryover goals Um, we could obviously cut out something that we said we were going to do last year that isn't done yet If council thinks it's no longer priority But it would look for a motion to carry over those goals Or make changes if council so wishes uh, take a look at the work plan goals that staff has suggested and Hopefully approved by motion of those work plan goals and if council has any that they would like to add to that to do so And then my suggestion would be to identify The top key projects for funding and it doesn't have to be as granular as everything on that list Hypothetically council could say let's fund the wharf. Let's get that done and then let's put A third of the remaining project in lhmp hazard reduction a third of the project in climate goals and a third of the project in You know healing with the purr situation And then we could come back with the specifics and different projects and line items in the budget So that concludes my presentation. I'm available for questions Thank you very short and I think uh city manager Goldstein might have just answered my question in his last sentence But I just wanted to confirm So there's a lot of projects here that have varying amounts of funding I mean one of them. I think it said it could be anywhere from $250,000 to $4 million for Stockton bridge reinforcement So based on what you just said it sounds like we could just say tonight Yes, Stockton bridge reinforcement is one of our priorities We want it in the budget and then staff would come back and say hey We can put this much towards it or this is what we're anticipating it would cost in phases And we can get down to the like you said the nitty gritty of the exact amount We want to allocate when the budget comes back to us and right now We're just looking at the the higher level goals overall correct Yeah, that's exactly right. I think that's a really good example the Stockton bridge You know we completed the study and identified probably two or three fixes And this is based on my memory from probably four years ago So if we said look, let's put some money towards that really what would happen is is we would Come back and whether it's in the budget or actually a separate hearing on that and say, okay We have $300,000 for Stockton bridge. Here's what the different options are in the study There's the near term fix the longer term fix, you know Do we want to save up for the longer term and we can make that decision? We don't need to make that decision frankly You don't have all the information to make that granular level of a decision this evening Exactly and then my other question is for our ongoing goals To support carrying those over do we need to identify funding for those still or I know you will you showed us a list and some of them have funding and some of them Are partially funded And so again tonight all we would need to do is say yes We want to confirm those are still our goals and then we would later Determine how much of the remaining fund balance would go to those ongoing goals as opposed to the new ones, right? That that's correct at this point most of those ongoing goals are more Work work plan associated work plan intensive And so they don't need significant budget allocations But if you do confirm these as your ongoing goals We will look in the budget and see whether or not we do need to include some budget allocations in the draft budget for them Okay, great. Thank you Also member bricks right? Oh, thank you, mayor Yeah, I have a couple of questions. Just sort of remind me city manager in terms of cow purse When we put money into that fund and depending on the amount we put in Do we potentially save money? I mean, I remember one time we did pay off with a bomb because we wanted to save money We knew we had to pay So what cow purse telling us right now? We know we're in deficit So what is you know an appropriate fiscal way to manage that deficit at this time? Sure, that's a great question. Talk about it over tram so so The issue for those of you who are tuning in for the first time is that there's an unfunded liability account purse That is for obligations retirement obligations. The city has accrued in the past and this goes back 30 years There's not enough money in the account for them. And so cal purse has put in place basically a plan for us to Get there to put all the money in And what that included after the great recession was a phase in as they called it to sort of ramp up our Payment for that unfunded liability over time And I remember when that happened looking at it and seeing how much it was going to ramp up over time and looking ahead to 2022 or 2023 and thinking oh my god, how are we going to afford that? Well, we've done that And so we're making those annual payments on the unfunded liability And so the ramp up we're mirroring the peak of that ramp up payment and in theory Please don't hold me to this and theory what will happen is is that then payment will look more like a debt payment And it'll just be the same amount every year in the budget Which is much easier to deal with than a figure that's growing by a quarter of a million dollars every year But that's the situation and what we've done about it Is we've established what's called the 115 trust which basically lets the city set aside money and put it invest it invested in in the stock market That is dedicated to paying that obligation So the money that's in the 115 trust can't be used to fund general city obligation obligations It can only be used to pay that cow purse debt But the money we put there we're getting a market rate returns on So what we're suggesting at this time is At least consider putting some chunk of our money into that trust. We haven't done it in a number of years It's been growing pretty significantly over time and that then can be used to pay that Unfunded liability with countless Okay, so that's what you're proposing Okay, um, I have another question in regards to the Stockton bridge and in general The climate mitigation issues that we've already identified through city planning and community development rather If we do anything to the bridge, shouldn't we be doing something In recognition that the whole espionage and potentially up the river are going to have issues related to sea level rises We can't do it independently of those issues. That's my question well So keep in mind that the primary issue with the bridge Is that it has these two legs that stick in the creek And those two legs act as as dams if you will when large logs come down So the issues with the bridge are less about the water coming from the ocean and more about the water coming from the hills So the fixes that were studied in the um stockton bridge assessment We're really looking at ways to mitigate the risk of flooding from Mountains and not from coastal not from being inundated by sea level rise And so they included I think specific You can go into details if we need to but it like deflector walls around those Those legs in the creek Or one for that was I think the lower cost option that was identified in the study And then the higher cost option, which is probably unattainable for a variety of reasons would be to Do a new bridge and then span the creek entirely and not have those legs that potentially catch logs Okay, um, yeah, I remember when that report came and you just reminded me in terms of the deflector areas So I was thinking I guess mostly in terms of if we built the new bridge with the recognition that We are going to have the issues with sea level rise and the whole issue of mitigation So it's mostly reflective of my concern for that if we're going to do any kind of work on the bridge We'd have to do something with that in mind as well. That's all So I don't think we're going to go that far after what you said, we probably don't have the money for it. So Thank you. I think that's it Hey, any other council members have questions? Um, let's see. Um, vice mayor kaizen Thank you mayor, um City manager, I had a question about the calipers I feel like there was a sentence and I could have totally just missed her due But that it was sort of lumped into something to do with the mall Rehabilitation too or was did I hear that weird? You did you actually heard that right? Oh, okay. Can you elaborate on that? Sorry No, that's that's actually a good question. And I don't know that we've discussed this. Um, Or this may be an internal strategy that jim and I have developed so You'll remember for you if you may may not have been on council at this time But when we've been looking at the mall redevelopment the city has identified The project would take Several years to complete which means that the city would not be getting revenue off the mall There's potentially impact to some of the existing stores So I don't remember exactly what we identified the the cost But we we think that there's probably a million dollar cost like if they came in and said hey We're going to do this big mall redevelopment. We'd say great But we're going to lose a million dollars of revenue over the next three years while you ramp this project up And so I think council has we talked about trying to come up with a plan to deal with that And that's been the thinking that jim and I have had is is that this calpers trust? Particularly if it's coming at the peak of the calpers costs Could be used to pay our calpers bills through that Through that mall redevelopment period Which helps us bridge from one side to the other and then the mall is done and the revenues start coming in So that was that's a little bit of our thinking. It's an interesting question about when would you use a trust like this because Uh, ideally what you would do is you'd use it to smooth out the peak in the calpers cost But to smooth out a peak you have to know when you're actually at the top You don't want to get in the habit of start using the trust to pay down You know pay your calpers every year and then you actually pay off to use up the trust and suddenly It's a general fund hit because you haven't been using the fund So trying to figure out the timing and the best way to utilize the trust Is a little bit of a challenge and we've thought that the mall redevelopment might be the appropriate way And the timing might be good because it might sync up with the calpers peak Okay, cool. Thank you for the clarification appreciate it sure Jamie just a quick follow-up on that strategy Wouldn't the hypothetical million dollars be needed to backfill the general fund If we're losing the million dollars in revenue, it means we have a million dollar hole in the general fund Well, so the general fund currently pays the calpers ual So we would be relieving the general fund of a million dollar obligation I think Okay. Thank you councilmember vertran Yes, thank you. Mary. I just have one question. I forgot to ask There's the issue of studying eucalyptus in terms of fire safety So I was just wondering what eucalyptus. This is going to be We have eucalyptus in the wristband We have eucalyptus along park avenue, which is probably largely owned by the rtc And also off of park avenue. There's a whole swath of along that little creek That's owned by this state and so I'm just wondering and then there's a park avenue near the freeway There's a bunch of eucalyptus that we own too. So I was just wondering what's being anticipated here and if it's would join Owners like rtc or the state who we reach out to them and do it together. That's my question I'll defer to save up this one. He's given more thought into what this project would look like So there's probably three areas the long park avenue The rtc has recently completed a survey of their boundary So we've identified some of the eucalyptus trees along park avenue. We're up over the Monterey bay That are city trees and have them evaluated There's the eucalyptus growth between park avenue and dalboa That's predominantly city property That we go in there and clean out. So that would be the second property and the third property where we have had fire concerns Is the corp yard property down along By the Brookvale terrace mobile home park. We've gone in there and done some more but Now there's probably some more fire suppression work that we could do down in that area I'm not sure it's fully eucalyptus trees, but uh, that's another area of concern So you're not worried about the riskman area? well Britson has a lot of issues the the trees along the the street we have recently had evaluated structural issues But from a fire in point So covered in ivy right now. I'm not sure about certainly an area that The stick with eucalyptus trees And any other questions? um Yeah, I how long I had some questions Um, jimmy starting from the recap of our 21 22 mid-year um, and the expected minimum total available 4.135 million Does that include the surplus from the library project? Yes, yes, okay um on your on now going to um Just like carryover projects. Um The one um is the noblegold engineering feasibility analysis Is that the one concerning the storm drain? in noblegold So Or is that something different? I'll turn this one back over to steve Yeah, that's looking at options. We have the noble which pipe was filled in 2011 still has 10 years capacity So it'd be looking at what options there are to increase the flood protection around that pipeline And this was that and we talked about it of when You did the presentation on the local energy mitigation. Yes, correct. Okay. Got it. Got it. Thank you um And then under also under carryovers By heart renovation um I wasn't quite sure what that is um so So the the bike part the pump track, you know was built with um Oh the pump track. Okay pump track. Yes Yeah, I was thinking of parking bikes um No, the pump track. That's yes bike park is a new term for us. Isn't it? We don't usually use that And um, okay those were my questions um And I'm thinking it looks like we have four tasks That staff has asked us to go to do So I was thinking of just maybe taking them one by one. The first one is to confirm our budget principles as previously presented um Oh, you know, maybe This would Should be the time. Maybe I should just check in with um The public and see if anybody um In the public was just to make the comment on the staff presentation um and so I'll take it out to the public if you would like to speak Raise your hair your hand on zoom um And um, or you can dial star nine You'll have three minutes or you can write an email to us at public comment at ci.capitola.ca.us Mayor story I do not see anyone in the audience raising their hand to speak on this item and we have not received any emails Okay, I'll bring it back then and uh and pick it up with um a discussion and approval of the budget principles as identified on page six and seven of our agenda packet um Any comments or questions about that? um And councilmember peterson Thank you. I just wanted to confirm that you want a separate motion for each one of these Like you want a motion first to confirm the budget principles and we'll move on to Well, I was thinking that would be the most orderly way to proceed Is maybe have an emotion on each topic area um In that way, you know, we can be sure to cover them all um And and do so, you know as in uh step by step You got it in that case. I will make a motion to confirm our high level high level budget principles The second yeah, okay. We have a motion in the second. Um, that's fine. Um, I did want to um I guess make a request or a recommendation on The The topic of public improvement principles And the very last principle where it says ensure maintenance and cleanliness of city facilities sidewalks and streets and um I'm thinking that we should also include the word safety So that if we ensure maintenance Cleanliness and safety of city facilities sidewalks and streets now Now I I know we do reference um public safety under um public service principles But to me that's a different kind of public safety um and I would think it's just important that we use safety as a criteria for evaluating um, you know any improvements or updates or repairs to our city facility So, um, if there's any support for that um That sounds good to me. I'll I'll add that to my motion or if staff wants to add that into the budget principles and My motion stands with with the amendment whatever is most appropriate, but I support that. Thank you councilmember Peterson. Uh, does the seconder support that amendment to the motion? Yes, mayor story Thank you councilmember breath um So with that, um Let's start do any council members wish to make comments on the motion Seeing none. Uh, ploy. I ask for a roll call vote And that motion passes unanimously Which would bring us to the second component, which is to confirm the carry over goals um And I I guess I'll just ask council members if they feel any particular of the former goals Need to be either amended or removed. Can we bring them off? councilmember bruce Thank you, mayor story um, I would like to make a motion to to um Well, now you've changed the screen on me, but to approve the carry thank you to confirm to approve the carry over goals um From the 21 22 year 222 23 year with the amendment on the item that states explore grant opportunities for public safety CIP and their environmental policies and outreach programs CDBG generator et cetera Because there's a lot of et cetera there. I would just like to be clear that we add in um youth and early education Uh opportunities or grants related to youth and educational opportunities for programming In that particular carry over goal I'll start on that one So we have a motion and a second. Uh, is there any discussion on the motion by council members? See you night um Would the council member like to take a uh, um, oh Um, I guess there would be time for a um roll call vote boy I agree And that motion passes unanimously which would bring us to um the third segment of our Effort this evening and that is to identify the 22 23 um work plan goals And we have we have the list on page in an 11 of the Potential um public improvements and fiscal goals I mean if you want if it would help maybe oh council member Peterson. Yes Yeah, I think if we're looking for you know high High level overarching goals everything that's on this slide here Um based on what it says is that these projects to be completed with a budget allocation of About 50 50,000. So I think um for one I would suggest that we move forward with all of these um on this slide and then Do you want to move do you want me to move on with my thoughts on the key projects or? Just stick with what I just said and wait Well just for verification, um You're referring to the goals that are 50 000 and less or Yeah, right right here at the bottom of the slide So staff anticipates these project can be completed with a budget allocation of approximately 50 000 and so I think that we should put all of the things on this slide on our Work plan goals for the coming year because we're not going to be digging into exact amounts tonight And so I think that these are all pretty important Got it all second Sounds good. Okay Is um We have a motion and a second, but I'm going to call on council member brook at this time Right. Thank you mayor story just for clarification if we're looking at page 10 at the bottom so we have those Upstate special events and then below it our potential public improvements and fiscal goals. We are not talking about those We're just talking about the 50 000. That's what the motion is made Um from council member peterson and council member britren correct Yes, that's my understanding is the goals at the top of page 10 are the fiscal and public service goals Okay, and the motion um would then Present itself if we would see that at our next Meeting with numbers next to it jamey that then we would decide what we're moving forward with Um, is that what you're anticipating by us approving the proposed work plan goals for 22 23? from staff So my expectation would be if this is the list Coupled with the continued items from last year Then when we present the budget We'll be putting in specific, you know making sure we have the resources to do these things And then we're going to make each one of these things over the course of the next 14 months So I don't I don't think that we would be doing this same hearing again The next hearing would be looking at the draft budget. Um, and then we're going to be kicking off for example the The ballot measures. I think one of the near term meetings. We would probably come back We would go into some detail but options for ballot measures and try to get council direction about whether or not We were going to do polling things like that. So right one of these things that they if you approve and we would kind of kick off the work plan on them Okay, and then the next three slides with all of these other ideas that you came that you've presented We're going to talk about in this next item That for approval to bring forward. Got it The real difference between them is is that those are kind of very much Projects that need a lot of money and these are much more processes that take a lot of time Okay, so um council members if I may just bring some attention towards the bike share program I was interested in creating a full um A full safety program in addition to like a safe streets program In addition to the bike share program like an all inclusive So I don't know if you want me to add that into this because it's pretty specific here Or we can just tack it on to the end So i'm just looking for some input on the best way to proceed I have a question about that Yeah, go ahead council member Peterson Sure, so if it says the proposed work plan goal is to launch a regional bike share program It sounds that that's like our participation in something that is larger than just us Um, but it sounds like if i'm understanding correctly council member brooks that you're talking about something that is just us is capital wide Um, so of course, I would definitely support that, but i'm wondering if maybe we should talk about that in the Next one standalone item. Yeah, so that it doesn't interfere with the regional aspect of this that's just my um my thoughts on it But I do support the idea of a overall safe Yeah, I just don't want to miss my opportunity To bring that up during this particular time as we're talking about these things. So There I am fine with the motion that's on the table. Thank you very much for answering my questions Council member pretran Yeah, um councilwoman brooks brought up something Um, I think our captain does a bike safety program with new brighton And I don't know how extensive it is But I think uh councilwoman brooks is talking about something a little more extensive than What they have and I I think captain sarah Ryan is on maybe she could talk about that or maybe it's not the time I believe that what council member brooks was talking about was more kind of infrastructure safety if Oh, you mean bike Bike lanes Okay, right whereas What the um, you know chief dally and captain ryan do is more education and training um, and And well education about you know bike Regulations and laws and stuff Okay, well right now we get a law of our funding from rgc. So yeah, I'll wait on that one. Thanks. Yeah Well that that is that my is my understanding correct. Um, councilmember brooks and chief dally Yeah, what i'm asking for is different. It's for the local community similar to what the county That has is a safe streets programs where you see the slow Signs and it's a it's a program already in existence But something that we have not adopted in our in our particular city, right? Okay Okay All right so with that, um We have a motion and a second And I'll at this time I'll ask for a roll call vote I agree And that motion passes unanimously which will now bring us To the hard part identify key projects for funding and We can use the list that's on Now the bottom of page 10 the top of page 11 um And of course not to preclude any other projects that councilmembers may um wish to Have added to the list so um And I did that, you know Maybe if it's okay with councilmembers We could just maybe go down the list and order and speak to each one um And I believe we're also being asked to um prioritize the list for the benefit of staff um, so Keep that in mind as well um, so let's begin with the work Uh rehabilitation project Mayor story. I have a quick question Yeah So I I noticed that some of these like the local hazard mitigation projects are um, it's a general topic and so if if I'm interested in essentially all of the hazard mitigation projects Are we still looking to prioritize each of these projects individually based on funding amount or should I just say I think we should prioritize local hazard mitigation projects and then have staff return to us with the feasibility of funding for each of these um Well, jimmy, maybe I'll let you chime in to respond to that question It wouldn't seem to me that we need to prioritize each separate item Under local hazard mitigation um But it would be helpful for staff to know where that grouping kind of falls within the list Sure, so at this stage, you know, really the goal here From my perspective from staff's perspective is to get guidance in preparation of the budget and so at high level feedback like Look hazard mitigation is an important priority and let's take $300,000 that we have allocated and put it in there If you see one of these projects and you think That's no good. We can't do that. That would be useful to know So we don't spin our wheels and sort of develop it further into the in the budget And again conversely if you see one of the projects and think that's definitely got to be something that happens That would be helpful as well. But no, we don't need to go through each individual project I think at the end of the day what we're looking for is a motion that says hey, let's Let's do projects x y and z And and come back and take a look at them in the budget and also I mentioned this at the outset But I do want to remind everybody that that this is this is sort of the minimum available funding and I do think in the budget We will be able to um bring other resources out that can be also used as well So this isn't the end of the line if you will Did that answer your question? Councilmember Beeson? It did. Thank you With that I'll call on the councilmember brook Thank you mirror story. So, okay. I'll take a stab at this and try to make it as easy as possible so I'm in agreement with the warfare Abilitation program and trying as you know, because I can't see all the math on where we are with the full budget So I'd like to see the work projects fully funded I think it would be great to see the community center to see how close we can get to 400,000 and what we can get for that amount of money The local hazard mitigation projects. I'm on board with all of those Um, what I think we would have to do is start at the lowest end of the the Scale If we wanted to see all those done Um with that So the minimal city hall maintenance like you said jamie 100,000 is 100,000 It would be interesting to see what we get but of course i'm 100 on board with that The migrager sidewalk it is a dream It is expensive that is not on the top of my my list as of today But if we do can find the funding for that that'd be great the climate action plan projects I'm all on board with the charging stations I think that we need to touch base with 3ce because I believe we can get funding from them I'm not interested in the roundabout The bike Pedestering safety projects again. This is where I was talking about of maybe trying to consolidate the state streets program that the county does And then of course the parry bridge maintenance program. I'm on board with that as well as the tot lot So that's my general feelings about all those. It'd be great to see you come back with How much we can get if we were to to ask for all that I do have some additional asked To see where we can find some funding for some additional items mayor story I don't know if you'd like me to bring those up now or wait till you get everyone's feedback on The um, what's on the screen I think that it would be good for us to hear it now so that everyone's familiar thinking of them in context So, okay Okay, um I don't know what was on the other screen. Did we approve the purrs? funding That was the could that's what we just approved right or what is this one? That's on the It is on this list. You you went down to the um, purry park the last three were on the next slide Oh page 11 pardon me. Let me turn the page Okay, so bike park renovation We don't I mean if it's grant funded that's amazing The cal purrs the one million to reach funding targets. So if we only have 4.3 million I've already spent 2.3 on the war and another million on the cal purrs trust I don't know how likely it is for us to get all of that jamie Um, it'd be nice to see some other options and really what the plan would look like in the five years Especially after we get a report out with merlong guyer and how fast we need to move on that for planning And I can't respond to pavement management because there is no number with that I think we've allocated slurry fields in the past and things um of that nature and we have that wonderful spreadsheet that steve created on What's the worst street on the best streets and all of that? Um, it'd be nice to see that come back to us with the number On how much that would cost us to address those next slurry field projects steve. I hope i'm saying that correctly Um, okay, so I'd also like to see us For staff to come back with a cost in relation to continuing implicit bias training I think council will have to decide on what how often we want to do that But I'd like to see that as an ongoing thing. Um, you know every x amount of years Um, for the cip projects. I'd like to um add ballards The onto monorail avenue as a potential project. It's really dark out there And I've gotten some feedback from constituents. So if you're walking up Um where the park is noble goals, so that's the right name That's just really dark up there and ballard seems to be the best bit instead of putting big giant lights because it shines in people's houses So those low lights Um would be really nice. I mentioned the safe street program um you know Staff brought up the 600 000 that still remains in the general fund that we've we set aside for kovid I'd like for staff to explore that three hundred and eighty five thousand dollars as reoccurring fund into something more of like a resiliency fund for the next Projected years out. Um, you didn't mention how What ongoing meant for that three hundred and eighty five thousand? so, um, I'd be interested in looking at that as a possibility and Changing the language right so from kovid to resiliency um And I believe Let me just check my note That is what I have for additional items to be added for this evening Yeah Our chair can come to member brooks of the resiliency fund. Um, yeah, that would be a 385 000 is that correct not to pull 600 000 Right, you know, I know when I sat on finance the fact we've talked about it a little bit of continuing that but you know We're doing a little bit better But we're still experiencing the effects of kovid and employment issues and and all of these things that we still have Unfilled positions and there's just a lot going on with our community that it'd be nice to have a little Reserve, but I don't know what ongoing meant in the presentation. So I'd like to see what that means at a budget hearing Okay, thank you for that clarification. I'll call on uh vice mayor kaizen Thanks mayor, um, I Resonate with um, pretty much, um, all the things that are already on the list that Council woman brooks spoke about um in regards to their importance. Um, I did have a question and I'm not sure who can answer it But what can somebody remind me what the Issues with the top lot was like I know the library got there The situation but what happened with the top lot? Jamie do you want me to answer that since I brought it up at the So the top lot at the library is original. So the library was rebuilt But the top lot wasn't updated and at this time We're seeing a lot of park structures be built that are created with the universal design Meaning all inclusive for all people of all abilities and that particular top lot doesn't really Fall into that category So I ideally would like to see it seem a more inclusive space for people of all and kids of all abilities Yeah, okay. Cool. Yes, then um, I am Definitely on board with that. Um I also wanted to maybe touch on a couple of other things that are not listed um in line with the I guess this would maybe fall under the climate action plan project. Um I sit on the um commission for the environment and we're working on a program to outreach to local restaurants And make sure that they're using Compostable straws to go containers bags things like that. Um, which obviously was a huge thing during To go only times on the pandemic So we want to make sure that all the businesses are on the same page and that they're informed and then we want to hopefully budget for some type of enforcement to make sure that The the guidelines are being followed. So that is something that I wanted to put out there and Then sort of echoing on the Let's see sorry I guess just the street. Um, oh that's under the same thing but the bike and pedestrian safety. Um I I think I like the idea. Um on the corner of Monterey. I also wouldn't mind looking into A better sort of um, maybe a signal at the crosswalk across Stockton Ave into Esplanade. Um, it does get a little hairy with Pedestrians and tourists and people not paying attention and not knowing what's going on. It can be a little cumbersome crossing there. So Also, I think Maybe there's been some issues with the light up crosswalk crossing cliff as well So I'm not sure if that has been addressed or looked at. Um, but things like that. I I think could be an ongoing thing, but I'd like to add that if we can. Thank you so much Also member Bertrand Oh, thank you mayor Okay, just wanted to make sure I'm not on mute again Yeah, I just um, I appreciate the discussion that we've had so far and um My question is about the warf rehabilitation project Um, my concern obviously is as we all share How much um, we need to do to ensure the safety of this So and long term viability Due to waves actions and such like this So is this 2.3? I don't think Because I asked question about this last time. This is not meant to do the raising of the warf. This is just to complete the width and Um, maybe the warf, um, you know the floating dark and stuff like that. I just want to get a sense of what's what this means That's correct. This is the project that we went over last meeting It doesn't include raising the warf But it does include all the resiliency improvements and those improvements can be modified in the future To raise up the level of the warf with the fiberglass pilings Can be added to to raise the work down the road Okay, so we don't have the money to do that um, basically so, um I'm really into the idea of the charging stations as Many of you know, we've received some emails about availability of charging stations and and this is the future And we do have a climate action requirement from the state. So this will help us meet that um Now jamie, I need your help on this or maybe Any if she's on could help me on this so in terms of climate action plan projects We've done. I think two studies so far dealing with the hazards Climate action mitigation issues that we might possibly need to take care But one thing that concerns me is I don't think we've pressed Not pressed. I'll pass this information on to the general public Um, I may be wrong. Um, we might have mentioned in our newsletters that we've done this but So what I'd like to add and you know, maybe come back to us on how this would work Is some way to do public education on what we already know because of the projects that we pay for and fund it rather to give us reports I am concerned that people may not be thinking adequately of the issues in this town And we're basically at sea level and I think they should know of these issues going forward So I look for some guidance on that jamie we could add that to this that would be great So just as a point of clarification you mentioned the climate action plan Sounds like you might be talking about the lhmp the hazard mitigation plan that talks about sea level rise and the threats from Right. No, I mentioned we have items under climate action plan projects and you're right We have the mitigate the studies. I think we've done too and we've identified You know zones are going to be flooded and we've put timelines on that and such like that so my concern is that Does the public really know about these things and you know, they're planning maybe things for their homes or they want to know You know how this might affect them moving forward So I think the public should know that's my my issue here and I think that um I mean some way to get this information out which we've already Detailed through our studies is important So I think some guidance there I can comment on that briefly So ambag is prepared to give an update on the climate action plan, but they asked They recently did an inventory and we got the analysis, but however the The way in which the accounting is done for greenhouse gas emissions and climate To to gauge where we are in our goal setting. It's being we For changing the actual formulas and how it's calculated to be more true to To match consumption So they had asked I think I got the report back in december. However, they're they're updating numbers and we're hoping to bring That to you this summer Okay, so that's greenhouse gas reduction But I'm also thinking about, you know, the sea level is going to rise over a certain rate over the next couple of years What that means to the espanol area and the buildings and such that live there All those along river view are going to be affected Maybe their docks are going to maybe you'll have to do some Armoring or redoing the dock areas so that they don't get completely lost That's sort of what I'm talking about kitty I think that would also be built into that fluff and cliff drive study that's proposed under these projects for hazard mitigation Okay, so Katie I'll take it from you. I'll take your word that that could be a way for us to get the information out to our City residents, but would you agree with that? Yes, we'd definitely be combined in that effort Okay, thanks Yeah, because I want the residents to know about these things, you know, if they have plans for their homes if I think it's important for them to have the information to make up their minds on various things that may want to do in the future Thank you I'll also note that the proof the work plan The council has just sort of approved for next year does include enhanced community outreach And there's a number of efforts like this that can will fall under that overall rubric Yeah, I was going to wait until you brought that forward before I ask questions But if that's being included, I highly commend that on your part council member Peterson All right. Thank you. All right. I have a couple thoughts on what's been presented to us and and also ways that I think we might be able to consolidate some of the recommendations that other Council members have already brought forward My priorities and looking what we have in front of us would be To set aside four hundred thousand for the community center Not knowing what the Complete, you know, given the significant facility needs. I think a good start would be the 400,000 to at least do some work on it I'd also like to see allocation for the 50,000 for studying city hall options Staff can do an rfp with some consultants if it looks like 50,000 isn't going to be an option for You know, some consultants to talk to us about our options and maybe council can reconsider I'd like to see the 50,000 dollars go towards the bluff and cliff drive study I think that's really important It's been eroding for a long time and it's getting worse and worse and worse now And so I think that's an important thing for us to consider from an environmental and a safety standpoint The Vice mayor keiser mentioned some crosswalk safety issues and council member brooks had mentioned some ballards and I think both of those could potentially Get some funding from the $50,000 recommendation for Excuse me bike and pedestrian safety, which I think might have been on the next slide Um Or at least it was in the packet. Yeah, there we go bike and pedestrian safety projects So those are the kind of smaller allocations, but now I'm I'm considering that it might be Important for us to throw some larger chunks of money Towards projects, even if we can't fully fund them. And so one of them would be $500,000 to go towards the war The roundabout on bay avenue it says it's a $1.5 million project, but it's already on the rgc's Um Oh god, what's it called? We're voting on it in like two days At a transportation plan What's that I was just thinking of one of the um the funding sources start Yeah, no, not the funding source. It's just it's on the plan for our county's transportation project And if I remember correctly 500,000 of that's already constrained funding And so there's only a million in funding that's unconstrained So if we could put another 500,000 towards it, then we're only missing another 500,000 to get it done And that's the project that we've been talking about for a really long time that intersection's a nightmare So I think it'd be worth putting towards that Um, and then 500,000 towards our CalPERS trust So even if we can't reach the full funding target putting some money towards it would be great If I did my math correctly that brings us to 2.17 million of the What was it 2.7? fund balance Something something along those lines um, and then council member brooks had mentioned moving 385,000 from the coveted to an Resiliency fund and my recommendation recommendation of that would be to move it into our emergency reserves We already have 10 percent of our general fund in emergency reserves And I don't think that we necessarily and correct me if I'm wrong staff I don't think we have to change the percentage percentage that we want to keep in there In order for us to just move money in there Um, so if that's the case, then I think it would be Wise of us to council woman brooks suggestion to move 385,000 into that emergency reserve knowing that then we can use it however we need For resiliency or what have you without drawing below that 10 percent of reserves That that we have As a mandate for keeping money in there So that was a lot just did all that math real fast. I'm hoping uh Yeah, I think that's all I have to say about that just for clarification council member breeders and uh So you were recommending Allocating 500 000 to the um roundabout that they have a new roundabout In the next fiscal year. Did I get that right? That's correct. Okay Sorry, forgive me when I was doing my math. I couldn't remember where I had thrown in another 20 000 And it was the charging station for two new charging stations. Okay I'll go for the charging stations. Thank you. Yeah, and I'll also to clarify the RTC is contributing 500 000 to the roundabout No, they're not they're not contributing to it. I don't remember what the funding source is but it's on our uh project list for um I just can't call it. I can't believe I'm not remembering what this is called right now Because we're voting on in like two days Or working in like two days. So it's driving me crazy regional transportation plan Yeah, the 2045 regional transportation plan project list that roundabout is already on there $500 000 of it is constrained. Uh a million of it is unconstrained Okay, thank you. Yeah, mr. Mayor may clarify something So councilmember Peterson the $500 000 that's constrained that is not funding that has been allocated or identified as that When we put those projects together we try to identify how much money we think we can come up with with um, and so if you're Put 500 000 dollars for it today that would be the $500 000 that is constrained Oh So it's not available yet But we think we can come up with that and the part that we can't come up with is the remainder So that's what that means in that project. It's not already identified. Thank you. That's really interesting Well in that case I stand by it because then at least we can say that that 500 000 that's constrained is also identified Thank you, Steve. I appreciate that let's see Councilmember Bertrand, did you want to go through your list? um Basically, you know, I just talked about things that I felt were pretty important, but um Councilwoman Brooks brought up ballads on Monterey And I just want to you know, I sort of think I know what she means because I've had the same issue and complaints from other people But I just want to get an idea of what she meant Houston brought it up, too I walked down Monterey Street a lot at night. So I just want to make sure I understand what she meant My my computer went up to ask that question again Councilmember Bertrand. No problem. So, um, I just want to understand what you meant about Monterey ballads And I think I know what you mean because I walked that street a lot at night I'm coming home from the gym and such So I just want the the council to be clear about what you mean. Sure. So this actually Was an issue that was brought to me in 2018. So when I first came on to council From several constituents who had brought up the issue of their concern of safety as they were walking their Walking with their families at night or walking their dogs at Monterey Avenue. So from noble Gulch Park up The street towards New Brighton On the left hand side. It was really dark on that sidewalk And what actually came about was that we could possibly partner with pg and e because that was their area and that they could provide lighting well Going back and forth a year and a half into it pg and event that actually that's not ours That's the city's And so I've had communication with The constituents then to say, okay, well, you know, we can't really build up because the lights would go into people's houses You know, we're exploring some ideas and I talked to staff about what some ideas would be and what the general cost would be And what we found out was bellers those low little lights could be installed Right where that that sidewalk pathway by the park is right now For not much. I think it was Gosh, Steve, if you're I can't see or see where you are, but if you have that general, do you remember? It's in the 10,000 maximum $10,000. Yeah, $10,000. So But staff suggested that I bring this back to all of you three years later For approval. So here I am asking for $10,000 to Light up the street for safety measures. So that's what I'm asking this evening. Thank you Well, I you know, I'm glad you brought that up because It is a safety measure What happens is when the cars are coming down Monterey after they cross at the top of the hill You you basically have an island headlight glaring into so you can't see anything That's one of them And that is a rather dark walkway that I think a lot of people feel somewhat Not safe walking up. So I'm glad you brought that up I know people have actually fallen off because they couldn't see where they were going Yeah, councilmember Bertrand, did you have comments on any of the other Public improvement goals Generally, I you know, I agree with everyone. I think it was a pretty good list that staff put together you know, I just wanted to see some attention given to Communicating to the public about the issues that are going to be Before them with climate rise And so that's going to be dealt with as Katie mentioned in one of the studies. So that's one of them and We are going to have more money for the Electric charging stations, which I think is going to make a lot of people happy You've all gotten emails about people who find it's hard to get some of these stations And the thing that council member Brooks brought up, I think we got an email from a vendor about I don't know how to put it but facilities and parks that Are more accessible to all sorts of different people no matter what their circumstance is So, you know, that that's a good thing. I told you, I read that thing. I thought it was a good thing So, you know, that was an addition. So all in all, I I have no problems with things Yeah, council member Peterson, did you have your hand up again? Yeah, I just wanted to clarify because I had mentioned the Vice mayor Kaiser's crosswalk and council member Brooks Ballard going under the kind of bucket of these bike and pedestrian safety projects and based on the funding that Steve just suggested it might cost it sounds like those two might still fit in there So I'm just wondering if vice mayor Kaiser and councilwoman Brooks for the sake of kind of keeping our Uh key projects within as much as possible within what's already here on the screen for the sake of just keeping it easy for everyone would be willing to Um consider their projects as part of the bike and pedestrian safety project Yeah Wouldn't know that We you know, you'll know that that item is just 50 000 plus um so Right specific things you may want to put more than 50 k into it. Um, considering the baller lighting councilmember Brooks is talking about I think it was you know a little bit under 10 light lit crosswalks Depending on the option. They can they can run a bit of money And then there's some other ideas on park avenue that have come up this evening So you may want to bump that item a little bit Okay, yeah, I'm happy to to bump that up to you know 100 000 if that's more appropriate for staff to be able to Play with the numbers and bring it back to us. Um as long as uh councilwoman Brooks and and vice mayor Kaiser Are okay with you know, just I'm just trying to keep things within the buckets. Um that we already are looking at when possible In order for the sake of of ease of determining what we're actually spending money on and where Yeah, I'll I'll answer your question Count on our peace and what I'm imagining a staff is going to bring back all of these things in each general principle And have a list for us and then there's going to be an x amount of money So however, they need to play it out and fine with that As long as it's the projects that I identified are included with x amount next to them And then we can decide from there what needs to stay and what needs to go Is that what how you envision that jamie? It is but i'll You and councilmember peterson have not identified the same list So You know, we do we just drift a lot square So right now we're just referring to the bike and pedestrian safety projects And I think if i'm understanding correctly what i'm saying is Let's use that as the priority that we will vote on tonight as giving key funding to as a project for key funding And then when staff comes back Council councilwoman brooks will expect to see The money for her ballard under bike and pedestrian safety projects and vice mayor keiser would expect to see what kind of funding is available for her crosswalk and Etc. Etc. Does that make sense? Yes, that does. I'm sorry. I'm misunderstanding If I if I understand I could be I could be misunderstanding as well, but that was my thought Yeah, my only thing would be I just don't want our points to get lost if they're not Being included separately or something that would be my only take on it Demi, were you still looking for a prioritized list? at this stage Well, I think that the funding allocation determines the priority So if a project doesn't get funded, it's not going to be a priority for us to begin working on at this stage. So If we can if council is going to allocate around three million 3.4 million it should go to the project center the highest priority So, yeah, so you do need us to identify priorities because I have You know, um, I don't know that I've necessarily heard these listed in order of priority, but Maybe they have them So if is that the way council members presented them in order of priority so that Jamie can note them that way Yeah, uh councilmember brook Yeah, thank you mayor story. So Jamie. We're just doing this a little bit differently this time around So I I think the way I answered the question First was going down the list was the direction that was given to us was to go down the list first And and say, you know, these are the things we wanted to include to have that discussion the next time I heard councilmember peterson several times be really clear with what we were expecting So I think what I and I and I'll say it this way is that everything we you've suggested here We need to see it on paper with the numbers next to them at the next meeting at the budget hearing with these additional items That councilmember keiser peterson myself anyone else has brought up and then we could decide then How we're going to stay within that 4.3 million? With with the the projects. I mean, I think that's what I've heard several times But now you're asking us to prioritize and I thought we're going to wait for that at the next budget meeting to prioritize This is your this is your meeting but my recommendation is is to identify The project that you want to see funded in the budget and it's fine to make them a little bit more broad and say It's a hundred thousand provides had safety and let's include enough, you know staff flush out the ideas that you've heard discussed here But but there's not enough funding to do everything on the list So whether it's a question of identifying, you know the projects that you don't want to move forward with at this time Or as councilmember peterson said I'd like to put 400 k of the community center 50 k of the city hall study all the way through that list Either way I apologize. I was not ready to put numbers next to projects. I thought we were just creating high level goals tonight So, um, I appreciate councilmember peterson bringing up numbers that I did write them down So, um councilmember peter I feel like I have to start all over to be completely honest. So I'm sorry council members But if councilmember peterson is so inclined to say those numbers again And if staff can leave those projects, I'll pull up the paper and we'll start writing stuff down or Because I think that's what you're asking us now That would be helpful because then then then we have the feedback on what are the projects that we're going to be putting It's the budget or fleshing out more details, um for the next stage Mayor story, um, yeah, you know councilmember brock's why don't you go back and see if you could You know put some numbers to your particular project and Oh boy And councilmember peterson repeat her items and to maybe stat. I mean I think we're being asked something differently now Mayor's gear may for not being prepared Mayor could I jump in? um, yeah one hold on just a minute, um councilmember peterson Councilmember peterson want to go ahead and go through your list again for the benefit of councilmember brocks and Yeah, okay, um, if we could For the sake of of everyone seeing what i'm talking about I believe we need to go back one slide to the beginning of the Yep, thank you. Um So I was recommending 500 000 to go towards the wharf project It won't be fully funded But as mentioned project can be scaled to match budget allocation And I think we can continue to put money towards it. That's good um The community center was 400 000 it said the dressing near term needs was 150 to 400 I think it's good to start on the higher end of our lower estimate So to speak Uh, I'm fine with the taut lot. I didn't include that last time, but I'm fine with the taut lot. That's 150 And then 50 000 for studying the city hall options 50 000 for the bluff and cliff drive study If we could go to the next slide Uh 100 000 for the minimal city hall maintenance in the meantime while we're determining what's going to happen with city halls Five ten years from now, however long Uh 20 000 for two charging stations 500 000 towards the roundabout project on bay and cap avenue We're now up to 100 000 for the bike and pedestrian safety project And 500 000 towards our cal first trust. So I think that brought me up to what two point Five We added some so 2.6 2.5. I had that I think a two seven, but don't quote me on that one. Yeah Yeah, sorry plus the plus the 385 um That councilwoman brooks had asked to be set aside Uh for a resiliency fund of some sort I'd suggest I had suggested the emergency reserve, but I'm happy to put it, you know, wherever council council teams are necessary So those are those are my priorities for getting things done um, so anything I didn't list I wouldn't consider my personal budget priorities and if it turns out that we have additional funding because I only suggested 2.7 million um And I know that there's more than that to be spent But those are my priorities. Um, that I would like to see council return or i'm sorry staff return to council in the budget Councilmember brooks are you? Prepared to go through your last good numbers now or Do you want to come back to this? Sure, I'll just um if I could ask councilmember peter spin um Just a high level question Knowing that there was some just extra funding available. Was there any reasons that you? didn't do like perry park or perry park bridge or any of those kind of the um or the Stockton bridge program any Um, because these are just the ones that i'm prioritizing right now. I know other council members are going to have other Uh suggestion for what they want prioritized and I did hear I thank you and and I believe it was councilmember Bertrand mentioned though, so I imagine they probably will end up in our priority list if we end up with kind of a merge merging of all of our priorities but as The manager goldstein mentioned we just don't have the funds for every single project And so I was choosing the ones that I would prioritize funding for Okay, thank you Um mayor story to answer a question. I just need a minute Okay, um, I'll then I'll turn to uh councilmember Bertrand Yeah, I I like the old way of presenting where there's a spreadsheet and we could actually You know see What each one is doing so we get a rough idea Um, but let's go back to the top I wasn't prepared for this in this sense also um Is this the top one the top one had the wharf on everything page Yeah So I want to full fully fund that I think that the wharf is A major thing in capitol. It's critical in many different ways and um Once we get that wharf done It's going to be sort of like getting our library done community center. I think is Is definitely a need that's another center part of our community for lots of things That mean tons of things to the public so 400 000 for that local mitigation you know, I I'm actually for all of these things because they are issues that Potentially could bite us and if we don't deal with them now So in terms of funding on go 50 000 for city hall stock and bridge reinforcement um I think at this point we could go for the low end. So let's say 400 000 love Drive study um I have no clue How much money we need to do a study and I do think we need to get out to the public but We've already done in the past. So I'll stick with staff recommendations at 50. Hopefully that does it No, we'll go to engineering. I'll stick with 50 that Actually is a major thing and flooded the mobile home park noble goals You know, so that's something we need to do. Let's get to the next Page, please maintenance city hall maintenance Um, I hope we can do it for 50 000. I'll go for that um McGregor I'll pass on that Climate action charging stations I've heard 20. I'll go for 20 roundabouts Oh Where are we at on that? What did um Peterson say on that 500 000 Okay, I'll say 500 000 bike safety projects Brooke put uh Brooks put in for that. Um, I'll probably pair at hers. Um, I'll stick with 50 and let us take those up Prairie park bridge maintenance. Um, I'm not sure what we need to do there except to replace a lot of the boarding um Can we stop here for a minute? Steve would you tell us what the prairie park bridge maintenance is? I know a lot of wood needs to be replaced. That's about it. Maybe some painting So, as you know, we did some structural repairs, uh, the work of the bridge. I'm sorry That that was the I think there's some continued, um Structural repairs that aren't critical right now, but we need to get ahead of Other than doing on an emergency I think we have to put that that's what we'd like to take Okay, well Jamie you're not muted what Okay, um, you know, I'll take Steve's word if it's if it's something that's structural that might bite us in the future I'll go with this estimate of 100 000 and um You know, we are already granted allocation for purse fund I'll go for the new million. I think it's very critical that we provide for the The funding of per's, um, you know, our employees retirement, etc And often if we can't pay for it, then we have to take a bond and actually pay more for it to retire the bond So Those are the ones I feel are high priority Jamie, what did that get us to on that? So I just called Jim and he's putting up a spreadsheet showing everyone total Thank you very much. This is extremely helpful. Yeah, because I think we're going to need to Um, Kristen's total I think came out to about 2.75 I'm afraid he went over though But off to see it jim's putting it in right now If you get the last item jim what I called and bothered you I think Jacques suggested a million dollars for the purse trust Yeah That's correct We will get that right now Money for the purse trust Yes, sir Yeah, I'm I'm trying to support the big ticket items that the city has responsibilities For the public and also for our employees I'll get rid of this power. Is there a dog that is reminds me my reggie is no longer here That's my dog It's your dog. Oh She wants to walk already There's not working today And well jim um, why don't you continue to work on that and I'll um, I'll say if councilmember brooks is I'm like calculating everything as we I know you I see you there would be a calculator Um Throw him out and you know jim will put him up there and we'll count. Yeah, no Absolutely, I think um Thanks jim It's it's anything I I agree with councilmember peterson know what councilmember pretrand is presenting It's pretty much like we're going below and of all of the recommendations I guess what I would just add is that whatever's left over So whatever x is Jim we could hear you Jim thanks um I would like to see it go towards the warf project So in a perfect world if there's anything left Which there probably won't be I'd love to see an increase the warfare rehabilitation project um, so it's jim Yeah community center 400 beautiful city hall 500 great Stockton bridge. I think we need to bring that back to 350 not 400. That was the low end of that Last cliff drive 50 50 for noble gulch 100 for the city hall Noah McGregor Charging stations 20 Bike pedestrian safety projects 100 Top lot 150 cal first 500 k The resilience fund that using that 385 On that The one thing that I didn't see here and this might not be much And we can bring it next to the budget hearing is the implicit bias training I think we have a pot of money called something for training Um, so we might not even need to go there um tonight Because that's such a small amount So that should leave us about 50 more million dollars to spend right folks 50 million more no okay Not quite I think I think you outpaced jim's Data okay jim. You want me to go again? I think I'll go up I think that you you were trying to fully fund the war. Is that correct? Well, no, I'll stick with the 500 just for for continuity Across the board Okay. Oh, I see what jim's doing. I was reading. Okay tot lot great um Community center 400 City hall option 50 Dockton bridge 350 Bluff 50 Noble Gulch 50 City hall 100 charging stations 20 bike pedestrian safety projects 100 pot lot 150 Helpers 500 Resilience fund 385 and that's ongoing Right did I miss anything? So it looks like your total is about 2.6 There's some amazing formulas you got going on jim Hey jim, do you think you could bump the font the zoom lower right corners hit that plus button a couple times? Does that help folks? Yeah, thank you. Hey, I'm Did you finish your look councilman? Yeah, and and and I think that's And so if we're still kind of staying with the same premise to help me May our story that then at our next meeting whatever's left over we could talk about these kind of other projects that we didn't fund Right and so maybe upping the wharf at a later time We just don't know what the exact numbers would be is that that will happen at our budget hearings This is just giving staff something to work with Right Demi, I think this would be a good starting point and we could come back And You know if we need little some more or add more As the situation may be we still need to get to a majority approval so on Some of these items Yeah, a couple a couple things um Absolutely, we can follow the process that you just outlined if this is if this is where we want to allocate it right now We do have a little bit of a deadline coming up on the wharf Um and steve you can remind us You're hoping to to be able to bid a project which know you need to know what projects you're bidding by when Sorry, you caught me stretching my legs um You know our goal is to try and start construction probably in october Means we need to probably be going to bid Potentially before the budget is set. Um At this point we probably want to go to bid in May hit the latest award of contract in zoli before our resets So that we could begin in october It's going to take a long time for the contractors to gear up with that And how long do you need to prepare the bid documents? That's six weeks. I've asked made it this time Okay, so your goal would be to know what project we're bidding Coming up in april, so it'd be good So that is one While we could put more money into the wharf project And we don't have to bid on the schedule if we know what we're bidding That certainly is going to help Hey, i'm i want to now Bring this back to a vice maritizer and see if she wants to Um put in her numbers into the spreadsheet Yeah, thank you mayor. Um, I am personally Uh, leaning towards more of the full funding of the wharf. So if that's The 2.3 then that's fine. Um, the Community center, um, I'd be interested actually in just sort of seeing what the lower end of that would get us. Um I don't know the specific needs of the community center at this time. Um, so Getting a little bit more information on that I am for the tot lots and then City hall Yes, the 50 Stockton bridge, I would stick with the lower And so the yes of the 350 Uh, the bluff 50 noble gold 50. I'm trying to like scroll like it's my screen Then Sorry Jim, thanks. Uh, where did we go? Didn't we already do a city hall There's a city hall study trying to figure out what the long-term plan is for city hall And then there's kind of the band aid a lipstick on the peg. Okay. Let's uh do that band aid for the 100 thousand and then um Yeah, the McGregor will have to pass for me charging stations said 20,000 for both I'll skip on the roundabout bike and pedestrian safety. I'd like a hundred thousand Period bridge. It's not super up there for me. Um, but Uh, if we need to allocate I can do that. I guess because I skipped the other one. Um, Like park renovation, no Um Calpers I would go with the 500 personally Park have oh, and then yeah the I would like to Was that 100,000 just added in after the last the tonight's comment? Is that what that was for? I'm not sure I'm not sure He's talking about the bike and pedestrian safety project This last line under pavement management is a park have traffic calming bike lane for a hundred thousand But nobody's sorry. That was sorry. That was my notes earlier before I put this on the screen I'll get rid of that because we've combined them now with bike and pedestrians. Oh, okay Um, great. And then yeah the 385 Um resilience reserve Harder we want to coin that So it's just a little bit of a reminder my my Minimum of available funding at this point. We think it's 4.13 In fact that there will be more if we were to aim for a $750,000 fund Balance that would be 3.4 million Total I think we could if we're going to be setting the 385 aside as a resiliency fund I think we could go back to a $500,000 fund balance. We take us to 3.65 available to allocate if Wait Help me out jim. I'm double counting this resiliency 3.6. You're you're close 3.6 Or basically I have it on the screen Okay, so we could go to 3.6 and spending If we take the 385 Put it in reserves and then go for a 500k fund balance Yes, okay So I think I think council member Kaiser. I think you're a little Over Yeah, yes For sure I'll be fine. But there's winning the day I wasn't like going for exact. I was kind of prioritizing based on my ideals I I I do want to put it out there that to me the worth only because of the The budgeting and the permitting and all of that Stuff that weighs heavy for me. So I would kind of want to put more of my money there and I'm willing to like From elsewhere if that can take priority personally okay, um so Looks like the council members have included their numbers. I guess I'll go through and add mine at this time later What's that council member break time well, I was wondering I was thinking about trimming so, um, I don't know if it's good time to do that now or because you do have to do yours Yeah, I have a message that I think can bring us all on the same page, but I think I'd like to see a mayor's story comments first Yeah, thank you. Yeah, let me throw mine up there then we can See where we need to trim. Um, so my one my thoughts about the war from I think that we need to complete that full project and proceed with it um, you know because it was based upon You know a promise through this measure F And I think that we should follow through and complete it as expeditiously as possible Now, you know with that said recognizing if there's availability of barring some of the money upfront and using future measure F sales tax to pay for um It's certainly be a feasible approach um So hold on let me um The community center, um You know at this point, I think I would like to see the list of of The work that needs to be done. Um and um and and And also I'd like to see where the full district is um, what's the long-term lease and so for that point I think I would like to keep that at 150 for now um The top lot, um Since we have some libraries surplus that could maybe allocated to that and potentially um And I think that's a good point that's not something that this work has made about it. Uh I'm willing to commit 150 for that On the local hazard mitigation project. Um, I'm in agreement with um the list there Except for again the stopping bridge reinforcement project again, um, I guess unclear of the engineering and design work um that you know supports What that project is and how much it may cost and so I would like to Maybe just see, you know, what maybe 50 000 for that, um, you know, um design engineering work. Um, But that that hasn't happened yet. Has it been? Oh, uh, I'll speak in here We did the feasibility study that identified options for doing it to stop from out of the bridge We have not done any engineering And as you can imagine, there's going to be quite a bit of permitting required to do anything on the bridge too Right. Okay. Well, I just I just think that, you know, maybe we should focus on more focused attention on Um narrowing in on what that what projects we wanted to be um and so And that's why I hate constraining that much money When we're so far out on a project and we have more immediate needs But with that said the city hall maintenance 100 000 on that The McGregor sidewalk, I'm in agreement. I think that's To be bigger than the cost and and not as urgent at this time. So I think we can skip that. Um, we seem to be in the unanimous agreement on that You know the charging station No, but that's not very much money, but it seems to me that that should be funded through either grants or Or we should be encouraging Private businesses to set up charging stations in there a lot. I don't know, you know, it's cross valley They just put in a number of of You know the tesla High high high charge station in the king splice the shopping center and To me that that may be more appropriate way to go, but if we could get grant money to fund our expense That could maybe work so Now on the roundabout I don't I don't think we should constrain money on That project this year and it's not because I don't support it. I support the roundabout But I just don't see it Coming to fruition for multiple years because It still needs PG&E to do the under grounding of the utility and until that happens, you know, I don't I don't see Um, that's really moving forward with that and therefore Kind of tying up money for long periods of time when we have other needs Just my thoughts Um The bike pedestrian safety, um 100 000 for that. I'm all I'm all in on that um and um Let's say to purge uh 500 000 um and I think that all the um and the resiliency fund for 385 um, I think I support that I know that's going to take me over but It um we can and but one thought about that is I wouldn't recommend putting that into the emergency reserve um because I'm not sure but that's the kind of resiliency um That we Um, want to try to address I just think it would be hard to pull it out of the an emergency reserve Um, and I'm not sure if that was you know, the intention of this type of fund but um So those are my thoughts on the list. Um, are they Did I miss anything uh jamie? I just did notice uh a little typo and it wasn't on your side jam I think that you forgot a zero on the taut lot item On counts number stories Oh Yeah, and I should The the peary park bridge. I did um Is that That's that there's no no numbers put in there I don't think we've heard anybody Put that in as a priority at this stage Okay, well, um, I would like to maybe put notes that particular project And come back to it if we should then you know have additional funding but Nothing at this point and I'm already over One thing I was going to say on the um your story on the resiliency fund is if um It might make more sense to use the contingency reserve. I think we have a little more flexibility with the contingency reserve Emergencies in my mind. I'd have to go back and read it, but an emergency in my mind is You know a tsunami an earthquake a fire or something along those Where contingency is more flexible kind of evening out to have some blows of revenues and expenditures yeah I would still feel more comfortable just leaving it as the kind of um, you know Constraint fund balance um, I think it would certainly be easier for the council members to act Then being put into either one of our reserves um Which which are more from ordinance driven Our principle driven so um So those those are my Thoughts at this point and numbers um and um now um Demi are you wanting us to go through and It would be helpful to have a unified, you know emotion uh to do something that totals up to somewhere in the range of between three five and three seven If the council can get there Otherwise we can take this and and continue the conversation But I do think the key is the biggest one is making a decision on the war because that will start to impact the project timeline Your story. I'm prepared to make a motion. Oh, okay. Um, go ahead councilman I wanted to trim some of my Estimates, but let's hear let's hear councilmember peterson's motion and If you don't mind joc just because I'm I'm going to be changing some of my numbers and including some of other people's numbers and I think Hopefully this will bring us to a you know, like a united um agreement or Anyway, so, um, jim. I wouldn't yeah. Yeah jim. If you wouldn't mind putting this as like a separate um You know not not necessarily changing mine from what I initially suggested but as its own um column So Here's what here's what my motion is to Oh, yeah, no keep that no down down with all of these like itemized things. We've been doing Yeah, okay, perfect. Okay. My motion is to put 1.5 million towards the wharf 150 000 towards the community center 150 000 for the taut lot 50 000 for the city hall options 350 for the Stockton bridge reinforcement project 50 for noble gulch Is that what that is? No, I'm sorry 50 for the bluff and cliff drive study 50 for noble gulch Where am I cliff love Minimal city maintenance 100 for the minimal city hall maintenance What's the next one 20 for the charging station? But if we can get grants for it great Um, I'm willing to cut the roundabout you guys are breaking my heart, but we'll cut the roundabout down to zero Because that's where I'm getting that's where I'm getting some of the money for the wharf Right, and I don't intend to ultimately cut it. No, I know I strongly support it. I really do Just giving you a hard time for hating all my ideas. No, just um Where am I so cut the roundabout? Uh 100 000 for the bike and pedestrian safety project And 500 000 to the CalPERS and that should bring us it like oh wait Yep. Yep and 385 for the resiliency fund And that should bring us to like 3.45 or something along those lines. Yeah, boom between 3.5 and 3.7 Everyone got a little bit. No one got everything. That's my motion I second you will Yeah, excellent. Well done. Just a point of clarification that didn't So the fire risk reduction you zero eliminated. Okay No, I don't think anyone put anything towards that. Yeah, okay And the peary park bridge You also eliminated Only because no one else, you know, no one else put anything towards those either Um, if we actually I actually I did but it wasn't captured. So I'm going to put myself in uh with the Sam you know You know see invention that we need to do something so I was going along with this Just didn't get captured. So that's fine. I think this is dollars to each of those and then we're at 3.5 something I mean, I'm sorry. Say that again John If we put 50 000 to each of those Which is better than nothing, right? I mean 50 000 worth of bridge maintenance is better than 100 It's not as good as 100 000, but better than nothing and then same with the fire resiliency Uh said 20 to 100 000. So put 50 there And we still come out at 3.5 Yeah All right, great. That's what I wanted to hear. All right, uh Thank you, mr. Um, so Jamie does these just the motion. Um, give you what you need To move us forward. Excellent. That sounds good. Um, and so with that, um, I'm going to call for I'm done Just double check Yeah, um I'm gonna um go after the public quickly. Um, just see make sure no members of the public there's um, wishes to speak to the motion at this time Your story, I do not see anyone with their hands raised at this time for any emails on the item Okay So I'll um, I'll bring it back and ask for a roll call vote I appreciate the compromise. I'll vote for it Good work, everyone. And uh, thank you for your motion council member Peterson um So with that it brings us to um item number nine eight Excuse me nine and number eight, which is adjournment Um, and which at this time I will adjourn us until the next regularly scheduled uh council meeting And march the 10th Uh at 7 p.m So until that time, thank you everyone Uh be kind to yourself and be kind to others And we'll see you around town Bye.
