Good evening. Tonight, I'm gonna focus on a verse in the Bible that says Jeremiah in the book of Jeremiah that says, seek the peace and the prosperity of the city to which I have sent you. Pray for it because if it prospers, you will prosper. So, father god, I come before you tonight to call on your name and all that you are to bless the city of Tustin with peace and prosperity.

If I could ask all those who are able to stand and face the flag. And as a reminder, there is no comma after one nation,
so make sure to go through that.
Place your right hand over your heart or render
a salute as appropriate. Ready? Begin.
Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you, council member Fink. And we will now move on to our presentation portion of the agenda. We do have one presentation tonight, which I think is why most of you are here. But as the Test and Host Lions Club was named the 2025 California Lions Club of the year, and I've asked council member John Nielsen to present the proclamation given his, I guess, intimacy with the group and involvement over the years. So go ahead.
Yeah. You like to say I'm a member. I'm gonna talk a little bit about Host Lions Club before I do the presentation and just kinda point out some things. It's been a great few years, and I've been involved with Tustin Alliance for, I think, almost seven years now. And a great group of volunteers, great heart involved.
But let me just kinda go over some things. In district four l four, which encompasses many clubs, our club won district club of the year for the lion year 2425. And then, you know, state club of the year, our club has never won that, and our club has been around since 1947 and earned top honors among 750 lions clubs throughout the state and 17,000 members. So that's pretty impressive. What's even more impressive is what the Lions Club has done as a group.
They've served 19,114 individuals last year. They donated 11,811 funds donated to charity. They engaged 1,478 volunteers. They created 5,212 volunteer hours contributed. And some of the service highlights.
Free vision screening events last year at Century High School, this year in a couple of weeks actually in Columbus Tustin Middle School, last year served over 300 individuals that received complete free eye exams. And if they needed glasses, they were given free glasses to their prescriptions. The club also donated 1,400 pairs of glasses to be recycled. The club donated 1,300 pounds of food to the OC Rescue Mission last year. Supporting city events, the Tustin Chili Cook Off, Tustin Dillard Days Pancake Breakfast, running the games at Tustin Easter egg hunt.
The club also participated in the Christmas Soldier Lions program, putting together bags of essential goods for US marines at Camp Pendleton during the holidays. Volunteers from the club worked with Ronald McDonald House of Orange County in serving meals and donating financially. Club donated gifts and donations to the Tustin Police Department's Santa Cop, Santa Slay programs. The club also did first responder recognition once a quarter, surveying meals to Tustin Police Department and the OCFA fire departments in the jurisdiction of Tustin. The Lions Club also donated scholarships to TUSD high school seniors through the Jean Thomas scholarship program.
The Tustin Lions also hosted the Lions Youth Speaker Contest and Peace Poster Art Contest fostering public speaking and the arts. The club donated to this Tustin Senior Center birthday celebration event, donated to City Of Hope, California Lions Friends In Sight, Camp Teresita Pines for Youth. And these are just some of the ways that exemplify the Lions and Tustin Lions Club that we serve. So congratulations, Tustin Lions. It's an honor well deserved, and I'm gonna come down and present you with the proclamation.
Being California Club of the Year. And Isn't that I just want current President, Sandra Bensworth, to say a couple of words if you'd like before we complete this and take some photos.
Well, we are honored to win obviously out of the California can do it right here We if you would are super excited, but it takes a team and you can see my team showed up. Our club is awesome. We have a couple goals. Our first goal is we want to have fun. That's our number one goal. But our motto is we serve. And so we feel privileged to be able to live in such a wonderful city, to work with the city and the parks and recs that we work with and all the activities. And it's just we are just super thrilled and we are excited to share this with you. So thank you very much.
Perfect.
Yeah, swore people in the front.
They gave
me a name back, so I don't forget who I am.
Before
I move on to public input, I'm gonna give you guys a couple minutes to exit if you wish. I'm sure you're not that interested in what we're doing tonight. So go ahead. Thank you so much for everything that you do for the community. Okay.
With that, we'll move on to public input. At this time, any member of the public may address the council on matters which are not on this evening's agenda, provided the matter is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the city council. If any members of the public who are participating through Zoom wish to address the council, please raise your hand. If you're calling in, please press 9 to raise your hand. Madam city clerk, can you request to speak?
No, mister mayor.
Thank you. Anybody in the room? Okay. We'll move on to the closed session report. Mister city attorney.
The city council discussed items five a and five b as they appear on the agenda and prior to discussion of item 5B, Mayor Pro Tem Chenelle did step out of the room as he announced prior to the meeting. Other than that there's no reportable action.
Thank you. We'll now move on to the consent calendar. We have items one through six. All matters listed under the consent calendar are considered to be routine and will be enacted by one motion without discussion. We have public input for the consent calendar. If any members of the public wish to address the council, please submit a request to speak form if you have not already. And if any members of the public who are participating through Zoom wish to address the council on items one through six, please raise your hand. Madam City Clerk, any request to speak on the consent?
No, mister mayor.
Okay. I understand that council member Nielsen is pulling item number four, and council member Fink is pulling item number five. Is that correct? Any other requests to pull items? Okay. Do I have a motion for the balance?
Motion for the balance. Second.
The motion and the second. Madam city clerk, roll call, please.
Council member Nelson? Yes. Council member Fink? Aye. Council member Gallagher? Aye. Mayor Pro Tem Chenelle? Aye. Mayor Lundberg?
Aye.
Motion passes five zero.
Thank you. Next, have item four that was pulled by council member Nielsen, which is to approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for Heidemann School Park. Council member Nielsen.
Well, I just wanted to say that, you know, I'm thrilled with this. The Southwest area of our town needs parks desperately. The last that I remember is, the McFadden Parkette, which is kind of by the freeway and was dedicated in my last go around, and that was great. But this is a much bigger park, I think, and it's serving an area of, absolute need. And I couldn't be happier that this thing is is going in, and I think it's it'll be a a great resource for the neighborhoods that surround the park. So with that, I'm gonna move this item.
And I'll second, and I'll just say thank you to TUSD for our partnership in providing this park and to staff for going and chasing grant funding to help us get it built. Any further discussion?
I just wanna add and echo all of that. I'm hopeful that this is a model for future partnerships with the school district on on their open space. You know, when I was growing up, the the, you know, the parks were the open space in the schools. And and since that time, the schools have sort of closed off. There's gates. And so the way to, you know, partner with the city between between the city and the school district to open that up again during off school hours, I think, is a a real benefit. And there's a lot of places, especially near Heidemann and and Southwest Tustin that need that. But all throughout the city, would be a positive development.
Hear hear. Alright. Madam city clerk, roll call, please.
Council member Nielsen? Yes. Council member Feat? Aye. Council member Gallagher? Aye. Mayor Pro Tem Schnell?
Aye.
Mayor Lumber.
Aye.
Motion passes. Five zero.
Thank you. Next, have item five, which is to approve the redesign of the Armstrong Avenue pedestrian bridge and was pulled by council member Fink. Council member?
So, yeah, I I first of all, I wanna say and I don't know if staff wants to come up. And what we're really considering tonight, as everybody knows, there's two alternatives with one being what I'd call a more intricate rail system and the the which is I think that's alternative too in the in the option that's that's this recommendation. But it's at a higher price tag of nearly $900,000 additional. And I appreciate the work that staff has done both in going back after the first set of bids were rejected a few months ago, coming back, I think, more quickly than we'd even, you know, sort of asked them to do. So I I appreciate the public work staff.
My view of this is as as we look at these two options, there's option one to me strikes me as a as a better alternative. It is less expensive, you know, 6 and a half million versus $7,400,000. And while one might say that the aesthetics on alternative two are better, There's a couple of the alternatives or a couple of the ways that we have reduced costs that I think that if we were looking to upgrade the aesthetics are both better and more cost efficient. So a couple that were in there. Forgive me because I don't have it in front of me. Mike Grissom might know this off the top of his head. But both the
greenery package, I guess you'd say,
that was in the original plans that we've reduced in order to bring down the costs. I think the cost of that would be I've got it in front of me. The planters is 200,000. So if we put the planters back in with option alternative one and put planters in, instead of 6,500,000, it's 6.7, 6.8 if you throw in contingencies. Simplified, the lighting system is $550,000 I think the lighting system would be a better visual effect.
It would have a great impact, be a greater effect than the more intricate railing system that we're talking about. Now that being said, I am just as wary as others that that kind of lighting package might break down. So I like the idea, for sure, of being able to light it up. We could light it up. Then Beckman, a high school, win the CIF championship last fall.
You could light it up red, white, and blue. You could light it up for various events. I think that would be a better investment if we were looking for an upgrade in the aesthetics than the railing system. And if you look at, by comparison, the Jeffrey Open Space Trail expansion is being built over the 5 Freeway right now, and they've started putting up the railing. And that rail looks sort of similar to the railing an option one, an alternative one.
In fact, think our railing would look even better than that. So we still have what I think is as good of, if not an even better bridge than what they're building in Irvine, saving nearly a million dollars. And if we wanted to upgrade, I think the place to upgrade would be the increased deck planters, which would have a great static for people on the bridge, or even the lighting package if we were willing to go forward with those. So my suggestion and what I would move is that we adopt alternative one. And then I'm open to, if folks wanted to add in those other pieces of it, because I think those would be more cost effective upgrades than complicated railing system with alternative two.
And I'm worried that we're sticking with alternative two just because it looks as close to what the old design was. And I just don't think that in the community in general, people are committed to that older design. I think they're looking for a good bridge that's serviceable, that looks good. And I don't think people are committed to that particular vision of what it looked like. So that's what I would do. I would suggest an alternative motion of adopting alternative one and open to any other amendments adding in pieces.
Is there a second for that motion? Motion fails for lack of a second. I'll just provide some context on the discussion. We asked staff. Staff rightly came to us with a a price tag
for
this bridge that was well above what we had budgeted for many years ago. We have advertised the optics of alternative two to the community, but I think there were some things in the design like the lighting package, zero point million that seemed a little bit of gold plated for what we're trying to accomplish. And so I'm I'm in favor of alternative too. I I think it's really in the eye of beholder. I mean, the green space, the lighting, the the railing, you know, we're all gonna have we're all probably going to have different perspectives on that. But this was, I think, a nod to going as low as possible without it looking overly simplistic. I think we should really set the tone with the bridges out there. And if we're going do something special on a bridge, I think we really should do it on Tustin Ranch Road probably, which is more of a thoroughfare and kind of
a gateway into the city.
That's why I'm supporting option two. So that's a staff recommendation. Further discussion? Yep. Mr. Mayor.
Yes. Councilmember Nielsen. I think that you know, we came back to staff who have, you know, lighting engineers. They have designers. They have everything else that, to actually take a hard look at this, which is what exactly what they did.
You know, they're the ones that initially had caught this. They're the ones that went back to it and and refigured it. And so I'm relying on the experts here, you know, the engineers, the public works folks that are involved in design, and the, the folks that, originally come up with the concept. So, I think, option two is is the best way to go. I think it is what's been or at least closer to what's been shown to the public during, what we've gone through in in the outreach. So anyway, my 2¢.
Further discussion? I'm gonna move alternative two, which I believe is staff recommendation. Correct? I'll move staff recommendation. Do you have a second?
I'll second.
Motion and a second. Madam City Clerk, will call, please.
Councilmember Nielsen? Yes. Councilmember Pete? No. Councilmember Gallagher? Aye. Mayor Pro Temischinil?
Aye.
Mayor Lundberg?
Aye.
Motion passes four one with council member Pink dissenting.
Thank you. Next, we have our public hearing portion of the agenda.
We have
one item tonight, which is item seven, the code streamlining and improvement program. I'm gonna open the public hearing and invite our assistant director of community development, Jay Eastman, up for a presentation. Jay?
Good
evening, mayor and member of the city council. Jay Eastman, assistant director of community development. The public hearing item before you today is a code amendment request. This code amendment request is related to our Streamline Tustin initiative. Our Streamline Tustin initiative is an ongoing program.
Under the program, staff continuously evaluates land use related codes and on a regular basis introduces amendments when appropriate. Typically, the code amendments or the program relates to clarifying the code, looking for inconsistencies, and typographical errors. However, we often look at simplifying the process and standards, updating the code to comply with current laws, and implementing the city's policies. And so what we have before you today oops. Is that the way?
What we have before you today are three categories of code amendments that we bundled together. The first category is related to our general plan housing element compliance. In our certified housing element, we have implementation programs that we committed to. One of those implementation programs relates to employee housing. By employing housing, housing is specific to safe the health and safety code, which is actually relative to, farm workers, agricultural employees.
It's not employees in general. And so, we have very few. We have actually one property that's zoned agricultural in the city that's currently a substation, so not likely to be used for agricultural use. But when we went through the housing element process because farm worker issues are of statewide importance. The state wanted us to incorporate revisions to our zoning code to address employee housing related to farm workers.
So we've done that here in compliance with our, obligations under the certified housing element. The second aspect of the general plan housing element relates to a multifamily residential housing. We have a program that specifies that we will amend the code to ensure that 5% of the units in multifamily housing programs are three bedrooms or more in size. The intent of incorporating that is to address large family households, large family dwellings, and to minimize or try to reduce overcrowding. If we're building a lot of units that are all smaller than, obviously, three bedrooms, where do larger families live?
And so that was a program within our housing element, and that is an amendment we're proposing tonight to address the certification with the state. The second category of amendments relates to the really miscellaneous code updates. There's a sign code reorganization related to our master sign program. We actually have it in various various areas of our code, so we're consolidating it and cleaning it up. We identify here workflow alignment.
Really, what we mean there is that we actually, in the sign program, have, different language related to programs and who the approval authority is, so we're consolidating and cleaning that up to make it clear. We have some other technical fixes and clarity issues that we're addressing as well. None of the changes related to the miscellaneous code amendments are substantive in nature. And finally, the third category relates to short term rentals. Short term rentals are residences that are rented for thirty days or less.
These are often Airbnb, VRBO. They're listed online through online platforms. Currently, the city has interpreted the code to prohibit short term rentals, and we do not have any explicit language in the code. So what we are proposing today is to clarify the definition of short term rentals in the zoning code, and also to explicitly prohibit it. This improves clarity, obviously, and it is an enforcement consistency issue.
Additionally, it creates consistency with our finance code. With that, the Planning Commission reviewed this item on the twenty seventh and recommended approval. And also, the project is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to section 15 o six one. So the recommendation that's before you today is to introduce and have a first reading of ordinance fifteen seventy four and then have a second reading of the ordinance on March 17. And if you approve this, it would go into effect on April 16. With that, I'm happy to answer any questions you have.
You, Jay. This is a public hearing, so we have to take public input. But do we have questions for Jay or staff before that?
Just to clarify. Yep. Yeah. If we approve this this week and in two weeks, there's a second reading. Right?
That's correct. This would be the first reading, and then you would have a second reading.
K. Thank you, Jay.
Thank you.
Okay. We'll move to public input. If any members of the public wish to address the council, please submit a request to speak form. And if you are participating through Zoom, please raise your hand. Madam city clerk, any request to speak?
No, mister mayor.
Anybody in the room? K. We'll close public input, and we'll close the public hearing. We'll bring it back to the council for questions, comments, or discussion. Any discussion? Or I will entertain a motion.
I make a motion to move.
Second. Motion by mayor pro tem, second by council member Nielsen. Any discussion? Okay. Madam city clerk, roll call, please.
Council member Nielsen? Yes. Council member Fee? Aye. Council Councilmember Gallagher?
Aye.
Mayor Pro Tem Chenault?
Aye.
Mayor Lundberg? Aye. Motion passes, five zero.
And just to kinda round out that item, thank you to staff for continuing to push on the streamlining efforts in testing and providing assurance to our development community. It really helps. Okay. Next, we have other business. Mister City Manager, do you have a report tonight?
Yes. I do. Thank you, Mayor. I have a public art project update to share with the council. Last month, staff facilitated two community meetings at the Tustin Family and Youth Center to gather input for the design of a public Art Commission Next project, which is a mural spanning three exterior walls adjacent to the parking lot at the center. The project artist led a discussion with 30 community members at each meeting. Based on the ideas received, the artist is moving forward with the design depicting a variety of family center activities that occur there. It's estimated that the final design will be presented to the Public Art Commission on March 18 and followed by recommendation for approval to the City Council at their April 7 meeting. That's my update.
Very cool. Thank you. Mister city attorney, do have a report tonight?
No. No further report this evening.
Okay. We'll bring it back to the council for reports. Council member Nielsen.
Thank you, mister mayor. Well, February 28 was a very active day for me. I taught three classes at Santiago Canyon College that Saturday morning for what's called the University of Scouting. It's a yearly adult training event held by the Orange County Council of Scouting America. So that was lots of fun.
We had a good time. And then rushed on over to dozen community foundations sip and stroll events. And even though it was about a 100,000 degrees out, very, very warm, we did lots of, strolling and eating and, occasionally sipping. So I thought it was a great event. Well done, and congratulations to TCF. And, look forward to more events from TCF in the future. So that's all I have. Mister mayor.
Thank you. Council member Fink.
Thank you, mayor. Just a couple of notes. I too was able to attend the sip and stroll. I was supposed to be volunteering. And when I checked in to volunteer because I was pouring through the Tustin community preschool, they need more pours.
I guess we had overbooked our volunteers so that I think it was a sign of of the volunteer effort here in the community. So I I did get to get to stroll the avenue, and it was a really great event, bigger than I remember being in past years. So it's really great. Folks who came on Saturday may have noticed that the arts Building where Rudabagors is, had a big sign in the window for, I think, it's Maison Bakery that's gonna be moving in. And it was it was in the newspaper in the last week that escrow has closed on that building.
And so, I know the city staff has been talking to the new owners. We're very optimistic that we're gonna see momentum come back in that building in the in the heart of Old Town and that it will hopefully be a a new foundational rock to replace what where Rudolf Agors was. I had a chance to visit with an organization called the Malama Collective that's here in Tustin. It's a mental health services agency that just opened up recently, and it's engaged in community building, teaching a next generation of therapists, and a whole bunch of efforts that will really that provide services for mental health in the community. And so it's right here.
It's in Old Town Tustin, and there was an open house that I attended recently. So I just just wanted to call that out for folks who need mental health services, who know people who need mental health services, who are interested in engaging and providing mental health services, especially if you're an associate marriage and family therapist or a clinical social worker or anybody in that field. Just another resource here in Tustin that I think is very useful to know. And in terms of mental health services, I did have a very informative briefing with the CityNet team that works with our officers, police homeless liaison officers. Appreciate the folks at CityNet, coming in and telling telling me about this.
We have a contract with CityNet. They're here. So if you need, people, there's there's contact numbers. There's, several police officers. A lot of them usually here are are on our homeless team. I don't know if the if the current folks are, who are here tonight. But they if you if you see somebody who's in need, you can contact our homeless liaison officers at the police department, but you can also contact the outreach number through CityNet. And they will work to try to get them help and services. And so I just wanted to reference that. It is still last meeting was just before Ramadan, but Ramadan continues this meeting.
So Mubarak Ramadan to our our Muslim friends. And, otherwise, that's all I've got for tonight.
Thank you, council member Sink. Council member Gallagher.
Alright. Two items. First, attendance at control and wanted to express my gratitude to all the city staff that helped set up for that event, the police that were there. We we saw you all walk around. We felt very safe. I know it's a lot of work to close off those streets, especially at that size, but you can really feel it at the event. It feels much larger. Feels safer being able to walk around and let loose. And so I appreciate that and and the event was very well done. And then the second, I wanted to express my thanks to all the engineers at the city of Tustin.
Last week was National Engineers Week. I also wanted to thank Ray for sending me these very kind flowers and his appreciation of my engineering work. And to all the engineers that work at the city, it's a sometimes a thankless job. We're not we're not as flashy and bombastic as maybe the city manager's office might be. So we don't get all the attention, but we also don't need it. But it isn't without it isn't without their quiet effort that we wouldn't have the quality of life that we do. So all the infrastructure and all the work that they do and all those that support it. So thank you to the engineers, and and thank you, Ray, for the kind flowers.
Wow. Mayor Proto.
Wow. Follow that. Is your arm okay from patting your back? I thought we talked about the are you really an engineer? What are engineers really engineers? Okay. Well, I was actually gonna wish you a happy birthday. Today is your birthday? How old are you, council member Gallagher?
We don't know.
We don't know yet? Okay.
Well I'm 43.
Do you have any plans for your birthday?
This is it.
This is it?
I want.
Where else could you possibly wanna be than on the dice?
Late.
Alright. Well, happy birthday, February 20, I toured the OC animal shelter, and, you know, we received lots of notices about the the the kind of the quality and the care of the animals that are that are in the OC Animal Shelter. And I have to say I was very impressed by the facility, the cleanliness, the staff, medical care. I mean, the facility was immaculate, and they've got about a 140 people that care for all these animals. Another thing that jumped out is 90 I think 94, 95% of all of the dogs that come in there are actually placed in homes.
So, again, very, very impressed by the facility and the good work that they that they do. February 25, attended the TCA joint finance and investment committee meeting. We elected chair and vice chair, and Tricia Kelly is chair, and Stephanie Otto is vice chair. So congratulations to them both. We also did a 2027 budget review, compensation budget review, and then we took a look at our insurance coverage for the next year.
I'm pleased to see that the the year over year reduction in premium was about 3%. So very well done. And there was a public announcement. The February is moving forward, and agreements were signed by the project partners, which is the TCA and Caltrans, a whole number of groups Riverside that actually came together to bring this project to fruition. This execution of the master agreement and the partner agencies is a really big step to starting the project, and construction is supposed to actually begin sometime late this year, early next year, and complete in 2029.
So it'll definitely help with movement in in Orange County on February 28, attended the Sip and Stroll. Wonderful event. Chad would definitely like to see what the place where AI numbers were, but there were tons of people all over the place. I saw it extended into another part of El Camino. So glad to see that the event is growing. On March 2, participated in the Read Across America. I think our esteemed city manager actually was there as well at Peters Canyon. Wonderful event. I read to kids in first, second, and fourth grade. Very impressed by their intellect and their interest and their energy and their joy.
So that was fun. If you haven't done it, I would highly recommend that you take the time to do that next year. And March 3, which was today, attended the monthly OC Cemetery District meeting. And the highlight was we got to welcome our new legal counsel, David Kendig. Very excited, David, to have you on board and also looking forward to having you help us shepherd in the construction and eventually the completion of Gypsum Canyon Cemetery. So, again, glad to have you. And that concludes my report, mister mayor.
Thank you. Real briefly, had OCFA meetings on February 19 and February 26. And at the twenty sixth, we approved, the board did, interim chief contract with TJ McGovern. And if you've been around this city and the the hangar fire a couple years ago, you remember TJ, but he is the man for the job. And we'll be doing an open recruitment for in the national search for our long term chief, but he's been willing to stick around and really grateful to chief McGovern for that.
