Hello all. Today is June 3rd, 2026. Welcome to the Carpintero City Council meeting. Hola a todos.

Hoy es el 8 de junio de 2026. Hemos culminado la sesión cerrada. Vamos a tomar la sesión abierta y vamos a tomar el voto nominal. Consejal Nomura.

I will request a closed session report. Thank you, Mayor Alarcon. We were in closed session for two separate items, and I don't have any reportable actions.

We will now move on to the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

And we will move on to introductions, proclamations, and presentations.

We will begin proclamations and proclamations. We will begin proclamations and proclamations. We will begin proclamations and proclamations. Comentario público en persona vía Zoom. No. Vuelve al consejo para la propuesta que se adopte la proclamación honrando el 19 de junio de 2026, el día de la independencia ayuntina. Nada. Todos los que estén a favor, sí. La moción se aprueba. Vamos a comenzar con la concejal mayor. El 19 de junio de 1865, las tropas del Ejército de la Unión lideradas por el general Gordon Granger, llegaron a Galveston, Texas, y emitieron el decreto general número 3, por el cual se proclamaba, sin formar pueblo de Texas, que conforme a una proclamación del presidente de Estados Unidos, todos los esclavos son libres, emancipando oficialmente a los esclavos en Texas y concediéndoles la igualdad de derechos ante la ley. The legacy of slavery, segregation, and discrimination has had a lasting impact on African-American and black communities. There are still many disparities and discriminations in social settings. Racism and white supremacism Representa una lacra en los cimientos de Estados Unidos, comenzando con la llegada de los primeros esclavos africanos en 1619 y el establecimiento posterior de la esclavitud prendaria por medio de la cual los mismos autores de la declaración de independencia declaraban que todos los seres humanos son creados iguales, aunque le negaban su humanidad a los esclavos. to experience men and women of African descent. Many members of the black community are still experiencing impediments and injustices that undermine their health and opportunities. We must confront the harsh reality of racism and discrimination, in which black people suffer in our community, to actively work to find solutions, to provide hope in the fight to overcome the mortality crisis among black people in the United States, and to contain all racist acts, as well as the activity that keeps systemic racism alive. And the Day of Slavery Emancipation provides us with the opportunity to reflect on the history of our country, recognize the post-war struggle, to reflect on the history of our country, la igualdad y justicia y ratificar nuestro compromiso y tratar a todas las personas con dignidad y respeto. El Consejo Municipal de la Ciudad de Carpintería designó formalmente el 9 de enero de 2023 como el Día de la Emancipación de los Esclavos mediante la adopción de la resolución 6184, disponiendo que el 19 de junio sea conmemorado como Día Festivo todos los años. En virtud de lo cual, el Consejo Municipal de la Ciudad de Carpintería celebra el 19 de junio de 2026 como el Día de la Emancipación de los Esclavos, animando a todos los residentes a aprovechar Esta fecha para aprender sobre el legado, celebrar las contribuciones de las personas negras en nuestra comunidad, en nuestro país y estar contra el racismo, intolerancia y odio. Juneteenth Santa Bárbara va a celebrar un evento Amemos a la Gente el 19 de junio de 2026 de 11 de la mañana a 6 de la tarde en la Plaza del Mar Parque Van Shell en Santa Bárbara. Y con esto... Presentamos el certificado a la señorita Diane Travis-Teague. Alcaldesa, acabo de descubrir que la señorita Diane está demorada por el tráfico. Quizás podemos mover este punto para después del informe de planificación. Muy bien, vamos a avanzar al siguiente punto, que es el reconocimiento. of the member of the Commission for Architectural Review, Richard E. Johnson, for his 18 years of service to the community. Let's open the public comment. We have a number of speakers. No, there's no one on Zoom. We'll close the public comment. And I want to share a few words about Richard Johnson. He received his TITULO DE ARQUITECTURA EN LA UNIVERSIDAD DE KANSAS, KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY, COMO ARQUITECTO DESDE 1972 Y HA SERVIDO NUESTRA JUNTA ARB POR 18 AÑOS Y HA APLICADO SU EXPERIENCIA PROFESIONAL COMO ARQUITECTO PARA HACER QUE LOS PROYECTOS SEAN NO SOLO MÁS ATRACTIVOS PERO TAMBIÉN FUNCIONALES Y PARA DESTACAR ALGUNOS DE LOS PROYECTOS EN LOS QUE EL TRABAJÓ, LAGUNITAS, MISSION TERRORISTS, LINDON SQUARE, sea house condominiums dalila court la faceta dos y casa de las flores y con esto vamos a darle la bienvenida a richard e johnson al podio para que comparte unas palabras si gusta Usted mencionó la Universidad de Kansas State. Cuando me preguntan, digo Manhattan, que es donde está Kansas State. Está en Manhattan, Kansas. Bueno, pero está muy bien conocida como la pequeña manzanita del mundo. De todas maneras, ¿qué está? Gracias, Sonia, que hubiera dicho una broma. Nueva York es la gran manzana, por supuesto. No tengo mucho que decir. Ha sido un gran placer trabajar con ustedes en... arv we've had a lot of very interesting projects we've had to do scale projects with compatibility problems and we try to suggest to the applicant things to improve the projects as civilly as possible and we try to make it a win-win for the city and we try to make it something where both the applicant and the city win and we've received Suggerencias sobre esas metas y el personal ha sido tan bueno guiándonos como consejo.

Ahora puedes llegar a casa a horario para mirar Jeopardy juntos. Gracias. Nos encantaría presentarte este reconocimiento y si nos podemos tomar una fotografía con usted. Muchísimas gracias.

Thank you.

Good comment there, Nick. Yes.

A quick comment I'd like to make for Richard.

I remember when you came on, you talked to a community boarder who was part of that committee at the time. As I recall, you were both young and I heard some of that discussion now. So with that one, congratulations. They are really putting me in that much time. Muchisimas gracias y muchas felicitaciones. Alcaldesa, tenemos a la señorita Diane Travis-Tee, que está disponible si quiere acercarse al podio.

Leemos la proclamación y aprobamos la...

Hemos secundado también la propuesta. Si quiere tomar su fotografía, buenas noches. Mil disculpas por haber llegado tarde. Si han estado manejando por la 101, saben lo que he vivido. En nombre del Comité de Celebración de Junta es un gran honor aceptar esta programación de la Ciudad de Carpintería y extendemos nuestra gratitud a la alcaldesa, al consejo y a toda la comunidad de carpintería por reconocer la significancia de Junta. the importance of our shared history. So, this is more than a commemoration of freedom. This is a reminder that freedom, justice, and opportunity are ideals that require our continued commitment to what we have been, And courage makes us reflect not only on what we have been, but also on what we want to be. This year, the celebration of St. Barbara of Juneteenth, Love for People, reflects that aspiration. Love for people means seeing our humanity, honoring our stories, and creating spaces where everyone can feel valued, welcomed, and connected. And it reminds us that our strength is not in our differences, but in the willingness to find understanding together, respect, and shared objective. We invite you in June, on the 19th, at 11, 6 in the afternoon, in Plaza del Mar and Vanshell Park in Santa Barbara. para reunirnos a celebrar cultura música comunidad y reafirmar nuestro credo que la libertad florece cuando las comunidades están unidas en la ciudad de carpintería en espíritu vamos a apoyarlos en apoyo de la historia del yuntin continuar educando inspirando y uniendo generaciones a futuro We accept this proclamation in the name of all those who have contributed to this important celebration to honor the promise of freedom. And to close, in moments when the world feels divided, Jun Team reminds us that progress is possible, that the community counts, and that love for people is maintained as one of the strongest

Thank you for those were excellent remarks and I appreciate a lot of what you've mentioned.

Can we take a picture together?

Thank you.

The next item on our agenda is number five, but I understand that we're going to postpone it, but I think we're going to postpone it. The presentation by Francisco Morales, Worker of Maintenance 1. We will now move on to item number six, which is the Library Report. Library Report.

Now we'll call to order and request for a roll call.

We'll call to order and request for a roll call. We'll call to order and request for a roll call. We'll call to order and request for a roll call. We'll call to order and request for a roll call. And I will invite Danielle Manriquez Osborne.

Good afternoon, City Council.

I'm Danielle Manriquez Osborne. Y tengo hoy, vengo en condición de comisionada de la biblioteca. Quiero hablar a favor de la biblioteca y como saben, el presupuesto ha llegado y quiero dar mi apoyo a la biblioteca. Ha sido un honor representar a la biblioteca, a la comisión de la biblioteca y ser parte de la comisión. I admire Jody a lot. I admired Eric now. They've done a great job as librarians. I don't know if you look at the monthly events. todos los eventos que él ha organizado. Es un gran logro, no solo incluye a los pequeños, pequeñitos, adolescentes, los ha empoderado. Es increíble, ¿no? Todo el mundo tiene la capacidad de empoderar a los adolescentes. Es difícil, pero lo ha logrado. Sé que han venido incluso a hablar frente al consejo. Estuve, la verdad, sorprendidísima al verlo. I really admire what you have achieved and all cultures are welcome. Last May we had a presentation in Hula. I don't think that happens everywhere. We also have Hazel, I don't know how to pronounce her last name. It's D-U-G-R-E-X. And I think the library is amazing. And here in Carpinteria, they're doing fantastic. They're saying there's not enough space for the kids here, but Eric is giving them the space, not just the library and the little kids, but also teenagers and adults. And it was such a year that I was, La biblioteca está en peligro en cuanto a lo que son los cortes presupuestarios. No podemos operar con menos fondos. Saben que es muy difícil y sé que ustedes están al tanto, pero... that, you know, we want, we would like to have maintained the funds and get more of the funds, but I know it's going to be difficult for you, but I just feel like I want to tell you and tell you that we're going to be losing a lot if you start cutting off, we're going to be losing a lot of things if we cut off the library. That's it. And I remember a way to say, something to the other side because the library is a real gem in our community and it is and we're keeping it but i just want to sign off to eric for continuing providing the title for the library and i hope that apoyo a la biblioteca y ojalá pueda mantener sus programas intactos y gracias y los admiro mucho a todos ustedes porque sé que es un trabajo muy difícil y realmente estoy al tanto de eso. Muchas gracias por sus comentarios, señor Osborne. El señor Rogelio Delgado, bienvenido.

Thank you, Rogelio Delgado.

Primero en español, después en inglés.

Bueno, voy a dar mi mensaje primero en español y después en inglés. Algo curioso en la comunidad, inclusive para mí.

¿Por qué durante la junta se separa para escuchar el reporte de la biblioteca? ¿Por qué no continuar?

¿Por qué durante la reunión se separa para escuchar el informe de la junta, de la biblioteca? ¿Por qué no continuar?

¿Qué tanto soporta el gobierno de la ciudad la biblioteca?

¿Qué tanto apoya el gobierno de la ciudad la biblioteca? ¿50, 20%? No sé.

No sé. La separación no está muy clara.

La separación no está muy clara.

How many members does the library have? Local residents or from outside? How much is the library's support, let's say, Hispanic support?

How much does it support the library, Hispanic support, Anglo-Saxon support?

Does it go according to the local population or not? questions from the community. Why does the city council separate the meeting to hear the library report? I wonder. And some people wonder. That's why I'm bringing it up today.

I just wanted to mention that today.

What percentage does the government support the library? 100%, 50%, 20%? What are the services the library offers in terms of... What's the percentage that the government supports the library?

100%, 50%, 20%? What are the services that they offer? Who uses them? 50% Hispanic, 50% non-Hispanic, 20%. How many members does the library have?

The nations from the outside?

Does it get the nations from the outside?

What's the total budget for that?

¿Cuáles son las naciones externas? Las nacionalidades. ¿Son nacionalidades de afuera? ¿Es gente de afuera, de adentro o locales? Gracias por sus comentarios. ¿Tenemos algún otro orador? ¿Tenemos alguien por Zoom? No, no hay nadie vía Zoom. Tampoco en persona. Oh, sí, Fred, aquí en persona.

Good evening, Council and staff. Fred Shaw. I'm part of the Library Advisory Board.

I just wanted to make a few points actually state in fact about what our library does. We are small but mighty. Every day, it's the busiest building in Carpinteria. Every day, 200 more people walk through the door looking for something to read, something to watch, or just to see. in something that they read. And more than 400 people every day access our website to read information. four people in volunteers, Eric manages to oversee 650 different programs that meet almost every idea, every purpose that people might want to achieve in the city, and in the capital of the island. Like I said, Eric does this with staff of four dedicated volunteers, the full department directly, the campus library, and demographics. The nearest library to us is Santa Barbara in the east. They close one day more than we are, and they have 12 employees. So Eric does an amazing job. He's really doing an excellent job. He gets grants from all over the country. Maybe we should hire him as one of the people dedicated to finding funding and more subsidies. Thank you very much for those comments. I don't see any more people. We're going to close the public comment. I'm going to ask the staff, they have two questions, maybe for the attorney, maybe for the lawyer. Why did we separate the meeting from the Board of Trustees meeting, from what is the rest of the meeting? Yes, of course. This is a requirement of the state law because they are technically two different governing bodies. It's part of Chapter 2.38, which is consistent with the Education Code in its sections 18,900. Y el titulado como la ley de las bibliotecas públicas municipales y esto requiere que las bibliotecas públicas municipales estén gobernadas por su propia junta y se las mencione o se lleven a cargo las reuniones de manera separada, si es por eso. that the city of Carpinteria, the council, the mayor can assign to the members of the council of the library. those members, especially those who are separated from what the council is and the members of the council. There were two questions about the budget, but we're going to be covering them at point 16 of the order of the day unless there's anything else pending. No. Very well now.

Let's go to item number four, which is to approve the meeting minutes.

On May 11, 2026, we do not have any public comment in person or virtually. . . . . . But I'm really happy to have this responsibility.

to have this responsibility and it is a pleasure to work here for the carpentry community there is no more to mention here but I am going to start by mentioning the programs and dates on may 8 the youth advisory council

closed its first cycle, we had meetings and we had different teenagers participating, sorry, eight, with an average of participation of five per meeting, with their ideas, their energy, and they presented their programs, their things, because they could really tell us cuáles son las aspiraciones, sus deseos y cómo quieren ser tratados. Estamos teniendo en consideración sus opiniones y vamos a continuar dándoles la oportunidad de desarrollar sus propios programas con nuestra colaboración, por supuesto. No es que estamos haciendo programs for them, but in conjunction with teenagers. And that's very good to see how they are flourishing when they have confidence that adults put in them. this thing advisory board our success with this adult advisory board we are going to have another cycle of meetings we are going to accept more members and I propose to all adolescents in carpentry to postulate starting in august come to the library talk to me or jody or with any member of the library of the librarians to be part of the Teen Advisory Committee, because they are currently in the summer recess. On May 14, in collaboration with AgeWell, Biblioteca invitó a la fisioterapeuta loca, Shelby Donald, para demostrar el uso de un tensiómetro y sobre la importancia de monitorear regularmente la presión arterial. Es importante destacar que podemos prestar estos equipos para el control de la presión. Los materiales serán parte de una donación. de un proyecto de conductador rural que hemos recibido hace unos meses. El 16 de mayo tuvimos Save Our Seals, el programa Wild Things, para salvar a nuestra colonia de focas y promover la difusión de información y el conocimiento sobre la colonia de focas comunes del Puerto de Carpintería. El 18 de mayo, la biblioteca le dio la bienvenida a who immersed the attendees in the living tradition of hula dance with an interactive presentation. The participants learned about the meaning of history and the cultural importance of hula within Hawaiian culture. Within what was the month about the Asian heritage of the Pacific Islands, on May 29 we had a dinner night, Rental Family, Y la siguiente está programada el 26 de junio a las 6 de la tarde y vamos a estar proyectando The Big Year, que es una comedia con Steve Martin, Jack Black, Owen Wilson. Muy divertida y es gratuito.

this meeting.

On May 31st, a book, a thing, a conversation with the author, a conversation with George Takei, author of They Called Us Enemies, very good assistance with 24 participants. They expressed positive comments both about the presentation and about the book. It was very important to hear directly from the author about his experiences, his memories, and the importance of justice, of how society We make mistakes and we should always be aware of these mistakes because we are humans and that's why we should constantly participate in democracy. Of course, we have programs from the library that are still in progress. We encourage everyone to go to the website to see the calendar. I want to talk a little bit of the Summer Reading Program, which will start on June 15. So, it starts on June 15, there are a number of events, during the month of June and throughout the month of July. In addition, come to the library. All the activities and materials we offer are free, and all the materials are bilingual in English and Spanish. In regards of Library Outreach, in the months we were setting up, we went to the primary school, Liso, and the carpentry school, and in the last month we also went to the primary school, Canalín, and we went to a couple of bilingual immersion classes, and these children were informed about the summer reading programs and also received library cards in terms of personal information. So... between the Municipal Library and the Reflections Coordinator attended a conference for new coordinators and directors of the California Libraries, held in San Diego on May 19-20, and then those coordinators exchanged ideas, and everything was covered through the funding provided by the Library Service, and everything was done for free. covered through the fund provided for the California Library and the California Library Association. That's all. The Adolescent Assessors Committee is very good that they are going to have a new committee. So, how do they communicate with young people to get involved? They do it through the school district. We do it in several ways. The last time we did it through flyers in the school district, but also through the movie nights, when we see teenagers, we talk to them. and we informed them of the program and at that moment we are also asking these teenagers to make their voices heard. And we also asked the parents to ask their children to contact us so that they can be part of this council. And I also mentioned this conference for library services, what they were like. So, any ideas or best practices that you saw? Yes, then, for example, the reading-writing program, follow the model of public libraries in California, and we talk about that model that we follow, and we compare some programs with others, and then say that when we compare the model that some libraries follow with others, then some sites have fewer tutors,

although they are larger, but for example, we have 21 teachers and apprentices, while other larger libraries only have 10, so then, and they asked us how we managed to do this, so I think part of our success is that

is that these learners could go to the library and had enough confidence to be able to talk to me, especially because people who are still learning English as a second language, a situation that I also went through. So they were reflected in me and thus acquired the confidence that there is a person there who understands them.

and that will be able to help them, so that they can be the focus of that program.

And I wanted to emphasize this program because one of the objectives of the Library is for us to be able to focus on the community. Thank you, Mr. Castor. Thank you, Mr. Castor. Thank you, Mr. Castor. Thank you for your report, Director. We will now reconvene with the City Council and we will continue with the City Council and the City Council. Thank you. So, mayors, council, members of the community, I want to remind everyone that I don't read all the issues in the municipal managerial report, I want to read them all, or also to obtain more information through links. And, for example, there is an issue that is not included in my report, because SESOLAPOA, when preparing this report, introduced a community workshop last Thursday in which we reviewed the financial situation of the city and then we answered questions for the different departments at the tables outside and that y entonces que también el obras públicas también tomó nota de algunas solitudes de servicio así que de algunas personas así que entonces por lo tengo entendido la recepción muy buena pero I'm not good at calculating how many people came, but I think it was about 30 or 40, in terms of recruitment. We are now reviewing the applications for the principal construction instructor position, plan reviewer. We are still accepting applications. para el puesto de auxiliar de instalaciones para gente que también trabaja en el salón de los veteranos ayuda con los alquileres también estamos haciendo entrevistas para un líder recreativo a tiempo parcial project. So, Mayor Alarcón, I advise you a couple of things. I'm going to start with environmental science associates SA, to prepare the environmental impact report for the project y ahora están empezando con el proceso. Así que este jueves, el 11 de junio, será público el proceso de aviso de preparación, que es la primera parte, el primer paso de la preparación del informe de impacto ambiental. and the commentary period is for the NOP, or Preparation Report. Then, on Friday, July 10, 2016, during that period, the responsible agencies and the public will be invited to present comments related to possible environmental impacts of the project, suggested mitigation measures and alternatives to the project, which will be included in this environmental impact report during this the 30-day project, there will also be a meeting to obtain comments from the public, which will be on Tuesday, June 30, at 5.30 p.m. here in the Actors Hall of the Municipal Council, and this will also be broadcast live on Zoom, and the objective of this will be to give the public the opportunity to ask questions about the project and the review process, and also to provide verbal feedback to staff. and to the SA consultants about the possible environmental impacts of this project. So, again, June 11 to July 10 for the 30-day period of comments. y también una reunión para obtener comentarios del público. Aquí nos salen de actos del Consejo Municipal el martes entre junio y media. Y como siempre, tendremos el aviso de preparación y todo el material en nuestra página web. Así que si van al portal, vayan a la parte de abajo de la pantalla y entonces hagan clic aquí en el... farm project and soon we will have the morning notice available so people can read and also sign up to be interested in being part of this process and also update you on the dismantling works and maritime installations of Chevron from next week. Chevron will launch the dismantling of the maritime installations, and then a boat will leave the Long Beach on June 15, and then next week the boat will be here in the Chappapote pit park to start the demarcation of the pipes and they will also work in the three miles closer to the with the dismantling of the pipes that have already been left to be used. So there will also be more activity there, next to this park of the Chapapote graves in the coming months. and then the mitigation and monitoring measures will be implemented to ensure that we reduce as much as possible the impact on marine ecosystems and sensitive species, including marine mammals. And then, again, now that Richard Johnson has retired from the architectural revision board, we have a vacancy position in ARB. And those who have some interest in architectural and design issues, we ask them to also present themselves to cover this vacant position in the architectural revision board. That's all. So as soon as. similar question at the last meeting with the public on the farm project, but it could also be most helpful as an example of the type of comments that would be most useful to the public, because I see that no decision will be made on this project or on the meeting, but for people to know what types of comments would be useful. through the mayor, vice-mayor, or Zanotti, of course. So, as a result of this part of the process, we are not trying to get comments about who likes the project or not. It would be more useful at this time what kind of impacts people are worried about who may have this this project on the environment and then suggestions of alternative projects or, for example, how the project could be reduced and also strategies to try to minimize the potential environmental impacts of this project. So this is more or less the type of concrete or general comments, or it could be that it concerns, for example, traffic, the impact on fauna, or, for example, those who like birds, who are also concerned that this may have a specific impact on a species of especially sensitive birds. So, that's the kind of material that we would appreciate. Thank you. Perfect. I think I had also asked this before, but... in the report it says that the people who participate will be able to ask questions so that they can clarify about the project of the process and also raise problems so who is going to answer those questions it will be the municipal staff who will talk about this project or this environmental impact report Hello, people in charge of this report, those who have received the contract will come to talk about it. So, we are going to have a municipal staff assigned to this project, in addition to one or two members of the ESA consultants. So, apart from the technical personnel of the consultants, there will also be a municipal staff member to be able to answer the questions about the project. In addition, it is possible that we have a representative of the project, but but at the moment we have not yet thought of allowing them to speak. So, with respect to that, to this meeting, to obtain public comments, I am sure that this will generate a lot of interest in our community. So, how are you going to advertise this, Mayor Alarcón? We are going to send mail notifications to the owners of um

in our relationship with Two Trumpets to help get the word out there on social media.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

Any other questions?

Thank you. Before I hand over to Jeanette, I'd also like to remind you that we've had a lot of to receive the slides that were shown in this community meeting. So if you go there, in what is the mayor's office, the municipal council, and the public comment section, and there, in that yellow button, you have all the slides that were shown at that event. And also, if you want, una la versión y y veo que tenemos aquí al club de los leones presentes así que que pudieron hacer una presentación ahí y también tenemos una presentación el 11 a mediodía en el club de los rotarios con esta presentación así que animamos a todos aquellos interesados a que inviten a devorador ya que trabaja en nuestra oficina and who is in charge of all these meetings so that they can get in touch with her so that they can analyze this. So, before I give the floor, to say that the team in charge of environmental sustainability also prepared a report of all the impact, and if you think it's good, we can make a presentation between the Board, in the next meeting, but I just wanted to mention very quickly that we had an event that attracted 100 people, with 17 volunteers and members of staff to do repairs. And then... And that kind of thing. And then... So, there were... They tried to repair 105 things, and 98 of them were repaired. And at least three were diagnosed. So, for a period of repairs. So, and... so you can sign up for the next repair fair if you want something to be repaired. So, the Parks and Recreation Department, we are still very busy, and in the summer we will be much more busy, starting on June 15th. I have some things to inform you about. So, H-Wall's reading session will have a presentation of Elemente de Santa Bárbara on its new Wave service, on Thursday, June 18, at 1 p.m. in the Veterans Center. The H-Walk can also be informed about how this modification to the transit service will change how people can move in carpentry. We are also going to launch the program to be able to sponsor a loss dispensadores de bolsas de perros en los distintos parques hasta la fecha. Entonces, de los 31 dispensadores, In coordination with Public Works, we have decided that we are waiting for the final design of the permanent Monta Vista building. In the meantime, the terminal is a permanent for the existing dog farm. If you're interested in that, go to recreation.carpenteriak.gov. In coordination with Public Works, the staff has also presented a plan for the design of the Montevista dog park. Meanwhile, the temporary use of existing dog parks has been allowed, which have been extended for an additional year, until the revision process for this project is completed. And then we already have the League for the Softball for Adults in motion, and 13 teams have been appointed, including nine for this season. and four teams compete on Tuesdays and nine teams on Thursdays in Biola Field. And the aquatic team, with the help of Public Works, has also installed the platforms on the Crapitería beach on June 1. This platform will remain there during the summer and will be removed on September 8 after the day of work. Those who go to the beach se le recuerda que también que puede haber corrientes muy fuertes y también que sigan las indicaciones salvavidas para usar la plataforma responsable y también les anunciamos que vamos a poner en marcha las noches de las playas de crepinterías, un evento comunitario que tiene lugar los martes por la tarde noche durante el verano y pueden ir a empezar a apuntarse a las cinco y media en Asha Avenue y empieza... and start swimming at six in the afternoon. Participants can also decide if they swim 500 or 1,000 yards, one mile, and also participate in a race of one or two miles on the beach. And these activities take place under the supervision of the Costa Vivas and cost $ 15 per person. In conclusion, then, if you have any questions, if you have a question about the Parque para Perros de Montevista, what are they going to do with this project next? is also received a record number of views on social networks and we have 540 people who have given him the thumbs up and 150 people who have shared it. And so congratulations to all of you for this. Thank you for your report. I have no more questions. And now public comments. And we have several people who have forgotten to speak. Pastor O'Connor. So thank you, Mayor. Leave a comment about the farm project. And I apologize for my persistence, but I skipped a couple of meetings, and as I mentioned, I made a couple of meetings, and then the idea of consolidating the revisions together with the Commission for Architectural Revision, so then it is not clear what the basis of the configuration of this project is, and how it will affect us, because we have not had a conceptual review report and there is nothing that has been published that I know of. And we have the comments here in person and on Zoom, I have not raised my hand. And this is simply for public commentators in general. This is simply for the municipal janitorial report. So, that concludes the public comment on the municipal janitorial report. And I'm going to ask that same question that Mr. O'Connor asked about what is the base project that we've seen, which is the concept of this project, the form project. is this going to be based on this environmental impact report on this or is it or is it going to be based on the project that is seen on the website? Yes, it is. The proposed project is the one that appears in the original structure of the project, that is, of 191 units, basically divided in half between single-family homes and rented homes. So, the description of the project, and then also the project plan has it on the website, and then you can go to see the project as it is at the moment, there on the website, and this will be the project that will be reviewed by the Department of Environmental Impact, and that also has to be determined if it complies with the California environmental laws, several reduced alternatives that we will consider. And then, yes, we will also consider the existing conditions on the ground and also value some alternatives in which the size of the project and other intermediate alternatives would be considered. So, it's a personal question, so, Nick, and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the lead or the group of people together and maybe have the So the state housing laws allow us to have a maximum of five audiences, and we have already informed them of what are the mechanisms and rules that would govern this project. And we are also in communication with the municipal attorney to see what options we have when we have these audiences, to make sure that we can to do it in a way that makes more sense. And knowing that we have a limited number of audiences that we can have, we can also make sure of what is the best way to have them. And this is something that the staff will then design and do it case by case for each project. So... It seems that the most reasonable thing would be, at first, to take care of the aesthetic design issues, but we don't want to spend too much time, either, and that the Board of Directors spend too much time before the qualification issue is passed. So, but we have a certain discretion on this issue. So we don't want to follow up on what the visual review process is. But Patrick also mentioned an important thing, that the Board of Trustees is simply an advisory committee that So we are not the ones making the decisions, and we have to make sure that this is in conjunction with the planning commission. So we are discussing things with the legal advisors to see what our options are. and but it is simple to confirm that this meeting to obtain a public commission is a series of five meetings that I mentioned audiences that I mentioned thank you then and then now the decisions of the planning commission then the commission of publication on Thursday then the first is the installation de las instalaciones inalámbricas de telecomunicaciones de Verizon que se han propuesto para el 112 de Linden Avenue, donde estaban Terry Shurey y Pacific Health Foods y otros comercios. Este asunto resultante pidió que se pospusiese antes de la reunión. and that it would be postponed until December 7 to give Verizon additional time to consider alternative places to be able to install these facilities, and then the Commission agreed with that and granted them this postponement to give them additional time for the second agenda item of the day, was the South Cottage project for 4616 of Seventh Street. This project includes a structure for a development plan, a coastal development permit to remodel an existing building, build a second floor and a garage for said house, and build a new building or two floors with two residential units and two two-storeyed garages. two-story units with attached garages on the same property in the same building to create three units in the condominium. So this was approved by the planning commission with a minor change to align the approval conditions And then the third item on the agenda was the proposed new government building on 3 Linton Avenue.

This is the new Koehler plan and coastal development permit along with a lot line adjustment with the property in the store. And this project was approved and we sold it in 3-2 vote by the planning committee and we detached 840 square foot garage and then a lot line adjustment with the neighboring property. And this project was approved and we sold it in 3-2 vote

was approved in a three to two vote approved by the planning commission and this concludes my comments there are no more questions i have speaker cards and someone via zoom no very well we close the public comment The next point in the order of the day is the public comment on the topics that are not included in the order of the day. Let's start with Annie Slae. Welcome. Good evening.

None of you must be from New York because we're missing the Nick game.

none of you must be New Yorkers because we're losing the game of the Knicks. As for the project that was approved in Lindon at the last meeting of the planning commission, that house, came before the planning commission at a previous meeting and it was approved by who was moved from Linden to the side street because they thought that had a limited space The access to the Linden parking lot was a security problem. If you have access to the parking lot in Linden, it's a security problem. What about the access that is proposed for the lot proposed by city number four, entering and exiting for that parking lot in Linden, and it's close to el ferrocarril tenemos el peligro para los residentes que no permitían que se aprobara el proyecto y estamos proponiendo el estacionamiento de la ciudad en el lote 4 con el mismo problema de seguridad pero mucho mayor habrá muchos más vehículos y está cerca de Thank you very much for your comments. Rogelio Delgado. Thank you, Rogelio Delgado, carpentry resident. Oh, I have a question. Seven points.

Number one, I see the city government, the council that needs the community.

The increase in the sales tax from 9% to 9.25%. If it reaches that.

Number two, the need for the community to support the sales tax. sales tax would come back?

To the people, how? Sidewalk repairs. Sidewalk repairs. It's all in the benefit of the community. I don't know how many years in the past that the community would suffer.

Number four, a confusion.

The city government is solid.

It's healthy.

You don't need a property tax, sales tax, subsidies, occupation tax. That's a mistake. It's a co-option. Because the city has its pausing services, but they haven't been adjusted. uh number two the inflation the number three is the al-wasil contract takes up a large part of the city budget annually the city budget should be solid and good for the benefit of the community point number six is the need for the community to usually attend the town hall meetings because if they do You don't have the actual image of the budget. YouTube, city council views, if you check them, they're low.

They're low. Yes.

en la reunión de la junta escolar es el triple, el triple de esa cantidad. Siete, veo la necesidad en la ciudad y en la comunidad que trabajen en equipo apoyándose unos a otros en el presupuesto y en el propuesto aumento del impuesto a las ventas si es que llega a la elección por su propio beneficio. van a recibirlo en servicios de la ciudad. Muchas gracias. Gracias por sus comentarios. No tengo otras tarjetas de orador.

Sí, bienvenido.

Buenas noches, alcaldesa y concejales. I'm David Heyman. I'm here representing the Carpentry Alliance Club with my colleagues here, which of course you're watching the NBA game. For more than 40 years, the Lions Club has been receiving blood donations through carpentry, and typically we have uh, uh, uh, Recaudación anual de donación de sangre sin costo. Este es el motivo para... Es un lugar excepcional en el centro, representándonos en la ciudad. Es un lugar donde se puede acceder, se puede estacionar. La comunidad en general tiene acceso y estamos tratando de organizarnos con otras organizaciones. Estamos tratando de difundir, tanto como es posible, nuestra intención de recaudar donaciones de sangre. and what we're trying to ask for is a place where the community can donate, donate blood and also generate a network association, us and the city, to continue expanding our future blood donations collection. Thank you very much. Do we have any other speaker sets? We don't have anyone via Zoom. There's no raised hand. Yes, back to the council. thank you the next item which is The next thing we have is the consent calendar. I move to receive and file the requests from the period of May 18, 2026 to May 29, 2026, according to the Municipal Code of Carpentry 2.08150F to receive and file the maintenance and conservation report. de los bienes de la ciudad para dirigir al personal de carpintería en cuanto a lo que es el código de conflicto de intereses y preparar las actualizaciones necesarias para autorizar a la alcaldesa a firmar un acuerdo de cooperativa con la asociación del condado de carpintería y la gobernación del gobierno de carpintería los propongo que se apruebe yo segundo la moción tenemos a alguien that wants to speak. We close the public comment. There is no one. We have first and second. We request the nominal vote. Councilor Nomura, yes. Councilor Solorzano, yes. Councilor Clark, yes. Councilor Mayer, yes. Councilor Alarcón, yes. Very good. We will now move on to administrative matters, and that would be the support for the funding request for the fifth round of the funding program for the camp remediation program presented by the County of Santa Barbara. I'll take this item. I'll take this item. I'll take this item. I'll take this item. I'll take this item. I'll take this item. I'll take this item. I'll take this item. I'll take this item. para resolver los campamentos y para poder proveer viviendas de transición a aquellos individuos dándole servicios interinos. La aprobación de la carta no está dándole a la ciudad la obligación, pero el pedido es consistente con la asociación con el condado de la ciudad apoyando los programas para prevenir y remediar la indigencia. ¿Algún comentario, sugerencias? Viendo que no, abrimos el comentario público. No tengo ninguna tarjeta de oradora. ¿Hay alguien en Zoom? No hay nadie por Zoom. Cerramos el comentario público. Vuelve al consejo para una moción. Propongo que se autorice a la alcaldesa a firmar la cooperativa, el acuerdo de cooperativas con el condado de la Asociación de Santa Bárbara de Gobiernos. Yo lo secundo. Los que están a favor. Sí, los que se opongan. No, la moción se opone. Ahora vamos al punto 14, que es la resolución 6. 482 approbando la solicitud contra los encampamientos, fondo de rondas. Tenemos una solicitud similar para solicitud fondos en nombre de la ciudad. Nick Bobroff va a estar aquí para responder a las preguntas técnicas que tengan. Tenemos una presentación, pero antes de eso, el asistente del administrador de la ciudad, Ryan Kentz, nos está acompañando de manera remota with a couple of comments before the presentation. Very good. Thank you very much, Michael. This is going to be a little bit longer than Brian's, because it's the specific carpentry project. Good evening. It's good to see you all. The point in front of you is the request to adopt Resolution 6482, which approves the fifth round funding request from the Camping Remediation Funding Program. a través del Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo de la Comunidad. El programa de financiamiento de fondos o el programa AIRF es para resolver la indigencia en los acampamentos, dar fondos de difusión, vivienda interina, vivienda permanente y otras actividades relacionadas la ronda 5 del programa incluye aproximadamente 93 millones de dólares en fondos estatales y las solicitudes están recibiendo hasta el 30 de junio estamos moviéndonos bastante rápido durante los últimos años el personal municipal y de la ciudad ha tenido conversaciones con Dignity Moves y otros socios regionales sobre oportunidades para ampliar los recursos destinados a la atención de personas sin hogar en carpintería. Más recientemente Dignity Moves informó esta oportunidad de financiamiento y ellos se asociaron con la ciudad de surgir un proyecto a futuro. Y tenemos un par en mente, pero esta es una solicitud preliminar y vamos a tener más información que se traerá al Consejo una vez que tengamos más información sobre la recepción de este financiamiento o subsidio. Lo que quiero mencionar es que This is limited to the authorization to make the request for this subsidy through the support letter. We are going to be delivering the request with Dignity Move. If this does not support a particular project or site in particular, does not authorize the construction of any place, does not commit funds to the city and does not force the city to receive This is just an authorization to be able to apply to receive a subsidy. If we did get that subsidy, we would return to the city council with a plan of implementation and all the relevant information to the scope of the project, the site considerations, the review of the environment, compromisos operativos, impactos financieros y cualquier otra acción requerida por la parte de la ciudad o antes de recibir y mucho antes de gastar cualquier tipo de fondo. Estamos disponibles aquí para cualquier pregunta. Tenemos a los representantes de Dignity Moves también en persona. So that concludes our presentation, and we recommend that the board and the director of Dignity Moves sign and implement the plan and then the funding field work. And that concludes our presentation. And I'd like to ask you for maybe the Dignity Moves. So if we were ultimately successful in securing these If we were successful in obtaining the funding or the subsidy, what kind of activities would be impacting? Knowing that there is nothing already established, but as examples.

Thank you, Mayor.

Thank you for allowing us to do this presentation. We would be looking at internal or permanent housing for people without housing, NOFA services, Y hemos estado trabajando duro con la filantrofia. Tenemos más de 2 millones de dólares comprometidos en fundaciones, perdón, en fondos donados por familias locales. Y para la construcción, con suerte, estaría todo incluido con los servicios financieros. de construcción, servicios wraparound y lo que consideramos el apoyo para unos 25 residentes. O sea que esto sería una asociación entre la ciudad y Dignity Moves?

Sí.

Muy bueno. Sí, qué buena oportunidad. Y tenemos tres villas, como les llamamos. Si quieren, pueden ir a verlas aquí en Santa Bárbara y estamos muy entusiasmados. Thank you so much. Yes. You mentioned that, you know, more of a permanent and it seems to me permanent is much better, which is what we're going to have to do to get to that point. It's more of a cost, it's more of a question of location, depending on where you are, depending on lo que el propietario de las tierras hay dos o tres propietarios que han expresado su interés y ver cuál es la intención o las expectativas si pudiéramos tener 25 personas fuera de las calles por tres o cuatro años eso nos daría la oportunidad de obtener viviendas permanentes si ryan pregunta para el personal el programa en sí ¿Cuándo nos hemos anotado para este subsidio? ¿Ese dinero será colectivo o específico para carpintería? Me pregunto si habrá coordinación estatal del condado o exclusivo de carpintería. Muy buena pregunta. depends on the final project. We're in the early stages of the project. It depends on where the site is located, if we coordinate with the county, and if it's going to be a close place, with close jurisdiction or not. It's a little premature to give an answer to that, but it's going to depend on the final project scope, and we'll be coming back to the council with more information once we submit the screen and we can get a clear answer Thank you. Any other questions? Muy bien, abrimos el comentario público. No tengo ninguna tarjeta de orador. Tenemos a alguien vía Zoom. Nadie ha levantado la mano. Cerramos el comentario público. Vuelve al consejo para la propuesta. Propongo que se apruebe la resolución 482, aprobando la solicitud de resolución de encampamentos y la ronda 5 para obtener financiamientos. Se ha secundado. Voy a pedir el voto nominal.

Consejal Nomura, sí.

Vice Mayor Solorzano, yes. Clerk, yes. Mayor, yes. Mayor Alarcón, yes. We will now move on to item number 15, the public hearing on the vacancy workplaces and recruitment and personnel retention measures that have been adopted in accordance with Article 3502.3 of the Governmental Code in compliance with AB 2561. Good evening mayor, members of the council, I'm Theresa Ellasing, I'm the administrator analyst two of human resources and I'm presenting this report tonight and this report is presented in compliance with the government code. 35.02.3, which was added through the 25th Annual Statutory Act. The law requires, the Law of the Assembly 2561 is added to the Government Article 35.203 which requires that all public agencies subject to Lake Meijer celebrate a public hearing. That's why we're here tonight, and we're supposed to give this hearing regarding vacancies, retention and recruitment efforts, and the obstacles to hiring. A, B,

2561 was put into effect to try to help the scarcity of staff experienced in public organizations.

After the problems we had with COVID, with the pandemic, there were many public agencies that had difficulty finding employees. De este modo, la ley estatal surgió para generar más transparencia en por qué existían estas vacantes. La ciudad tiene en este momento solo una vacante actual, un miembro representado de SEIU, Servicios de Empleados de la Unidad Internacional, y tenemos siete empleados que están representados por esa vacante. unidad de negociación y los vacantes no llegan a alcanzar el 20% del límite de vacancia, como lo establece el 2561. Y si no tuviéramos ese 20%, tendríamos que hacer unos informes adicionales. La ciudad tiene 23 posiciones de tiempo completo, una vacante de medio tiempo. pardon, de tiempo completo, de jefe de construcción inspector. Luego tenemos posiciones en proceso de reclutamiento. Tenemos dos de medio tiempo, atención de instalaciones y líder de recreación. Programa de verano, pero no están representadas por SEIU. La ciudad tiene aproximadamente 60 a 90 días para poder satisfacer esas posiciones. Hacemos reclutamiento a través de varios medios, página de internet, medios sociales, el sitio social de la ciudad, governmentjobs.com, que es muy común a los candidatos y depende de dónde, LinkedIn también, u otros sitios especiales, organizaciones profesionales. Como por ejemplo, cuando estamos buscando para jefe de inspección de construcción de edificios, tenemos dos asociaciones que son comunes en la búsqueda de ese tipo de profesional y las hemos utilizado. Some key initiatives we do are trying to support, and our main initiatives that we're trying to support is updating the remuneration schedule to try to improve our benefits. We provide leadership and professional development, but we're facing a lot of challenges, such as competing with neighboring agencies, They have more competitive salaries, they have higher recruitment efforts, the cost of living is very high, especially in carpentry, and we've tried to find people from Ventura or even further away, and we're trying to find ways to attract those candidates. And that's not a unique problem in our agency. these challenges. It's something that all agencies are facing in recruitment. We have cities that compete with higher salaries. It's difficult to try to compete with those agencies, but we continue our efforts trying to attract candidates and continue monitoring trends. If we reach out to SEIU and they do not speak to us tonight, but this concludes my report and I'm available for your questions. Questions from the council? No questions. Let's open up public comment. I don't have any speaker cards. Is there someone on Zoom? No. Cierra el comentario público. Vuelve al consejo para la propuesta. Propongo que se reciba y acepte el informe en cuanto a la audiencia pública en las vacancias de trabajadores de la ciudad del reclutamiento de retención de acuerdo al código 3602.3. Por favor, el voto nominal. Concejal Nomura, sí. Vicealcaldesa Solorzano, sí. Concejal Clark, sí. Concejal Mayer, sí. Alcaldesa Alarcón, sí. Y antes de avanzar al siguiente punto, que va a ser largo, voy a pedir un receso de 10 minutos, por favor.

Thank you.

You see.

for the general fund and to be able to maintain the economic reserve fund, which has to be 40% of the expenses of the general fund and of the... and of the subsidies for the operations, and that's all. So, I don't know if I have a question. I know I've said a lot. So, just to make sure I've understood you well, in general terms, and for you to also understand, when we talk about the income of the general fund, ha ido aumentando de forma palativa gracias a ese aumento sobre la venta sobre impuesto de ocupación hotelera. Así que estamos viendo cómo se va aumentando palatinamente. Y para el año fiscal 26 y 27, en las proyecciones se va a ver una pequeña disminución en los otros ingresos de 1.600.000 o 1.200.000. Ya menciono eso, pero disculpe, se me olvidó. But in terms of other revenues, and also what we charge for services has decreased, so we also receive a lot of non-recurrent revenues, and then we have to eliminate them, so the base level, for example, When it comes to services for community development, I think at the moment there are 550,000 this year, but we have not foreseen that next year it will be 250,000 or 300,000. It would be the most conservative and safest exploration, assuming that the fiscal proportion is the same volume. And as for the expenses of the general fund, public security is clearly one of the main expenses, representing 35.8%, followed by salaries and benefits. So, in the results of 2005 and also the predictions for 2026-2027, which is going to go from 5 million to 5.9 million euros. Could you talk a little more about that?

proviene de los fondos no financiados de CalPERS, especialmente para lo que es la seguridad, entre $200,000, $300,000 en cuanto a lo que son empleados misceláneos y para lo que es seguridad. Seguridad original era de 1998. Continuamos pagándolo como una responsabilidad no. I think we have added additional positions in response to AB 939, like, for example, the solid waste rates. There will be an increase in wages and benefits, which are also part of the income. One final question regarding the balance sheets of funds and reserve policies that are not applied in terms of reserve policies. no son NA o no es típico? No, esto es parte de GASB 54 que se había implementado.

It's the government accounting standards board that we have to follow.

It's the government accounting standards board that we have to follow. It's the government accounting standards board that we have to follow. Por ejemplo, las pensiones, que es algo que tenemos que establecer nosotros, no tiene su propia política y está limitada a cuando tenemos que dar el apoyo del grupo fiduciario de pensiones y, por supuesto, se ve afectado por otros. balances. Yes, on the other hand, we have one, and there have been conversations regarding a fiscal stability reserve, and they saw it at 26 and 27, which goes from 5.8 million to 6.8 million. That's a big increase, and in part it's due to what Liz said before, that we're taking certain portions or sections and putting them in the right funds. No por decir que no eran adecuados antes, pero cuando teníamos la Medida X, queríamos que todos puedan ver qué es lo que se pagaba de la Medida X. Y algo que se pagaba de la Medida X quizás era un punto que estaba siendo financiado por recreación o por servicios de la biblioteca. Entonces, tomamos esos fondos de la Medida X, lo pusimos en el fondo correcto, y así veían las transferencias para cubrir esos gastos pero queríamos que el público pueda ver los números en su totalidad que si están dispersados entre distintos fondos es difícil de ver pero cuando se toma el dinero de un fondo y se transfiere a la cuenta específica en lo que es el fondo general la reserva de la La política de reserva que tenemos sobre la estabilidad financiera ayuda a reflejar esos movimientos de dinero. Sea el 40% que el Consejo quiera mantener, que se basa en la cantidad de meses que podemos querer operar de haber emergencia, o si quieren bajar el porcentaje de acuerdo a la nueva manera en que estamos organizando los fondos. Muy bien, muchas gracias. Una pregunta relacionada en cuanto a los subsidios. Parte de las opiniones que hemos recibido y lo que vemos en línea es que los ciudadanos deberían tratar... ¿Qué dicen? Los ciudadanos que deberíamos tratar de gastar menos.

¿Cómo se vería eso?

What would the citizens notice if we didn't use funds from the X measure to subsidize other parts of the budget? How would it look for someone who lives here in the carpentry? Yes, thank you. Can you give a slide back? The one I had on the screen a moment ago.

This will help explain that a little bit.

If the city started to cut back or reduce subsidies to help manage the structural deficit, you can see here and you can see here and you can see here and you can see here and you can see here and you can see here Casi. Medio millón hacia arriba a cinco millones. Ahora estamos usando medio millón porque 33% de esto es el aumento en el costo compartido. Hay ajustes por CPI, por contratos, por salarios. Y creo que es lo que la gente vería primero es la reducción en servicios. Si decidimos limitar algún programa, or eliminate some programs or maintenance levels for perhaps in what is the maintenance in the landscape. They would think that it's not enough and that we don't solve the problem. And so I think that's the biggest piece. They think we have the same situation to resolve. We can do that in this fiscal year, and we're going to deal with the problem. year, but it doesn't eliminate the problem itself. Yes, that's why we want to be able to talk about the difference between having a healthy current budget, but not necessarily, that doesn't necessarily mean a sustainable or healthy long-term financial stability. Si hay un administrador de la ciudad, por ejemplo, no están utilizando los fondos disponibles y si lo mira pueden pensar que ellos están mejor que nosotros porque no tienen incertidumbre financiera. en sus presupuestos, pero en este consejo ha hecho mucho para asegurarnos que si algo sucediera en la ciudad, estamos preparados. Otras áreas en las que no nos fue tan bien. No tenemos, por ejemplo, una cuenta de mantenimiento presupuestario, por ejemplo, para la piscina. Pasó algo y no nos fue tan bien, pero hay cosas en las que sí habíamos trabajado muy bien y en definitiva estamos en una situación en la que ahora podemos tomar decisiones

well thought and advanced

with time, with anticipation, thinking about things, since we're not on the edge of the abyss and we don't want to get to the point where we have to be, having to be reactionary. That's what we're trying to emphasize, the importance of what the structural deficit is for these trends. Yes, you talked a little bit about the Alguacil contract. There are people who see the news, who are thinking about in salirse del contrato una vez que se venza, creo que es para la policía de Lompoc, es algo que está afectándonos a futuro con la policía, con el nivel de servicio que tenemos en algún momento. I have the same thing when I watch the news. I know that Solvang is seriously looking at this and they have gone to talk to his advice. I know that Buelton is exploring it a little bit more. Lompoc does have a lot of teams that are doing un equipo SWAT, tiene su propio despacho, tiene un servicio completo en su mayoría y ha hablado con el administrador de la ciudad y están tomando Solban, tiene un oficial, un motor y están viendo de to take other cities. There are some very important differences and I don't like to speak for them, but I know that in some instances they are not seeing the savings, but the increase in the level of service, that is, they will pay the same, but give more services. I don't mean what they are doing, maybe they have reductions, I'm not sure. I'm trying to think of other differences as well. Y también, por supuesto, quiero mencionar que hablé con el administrador de la ciudad y la primer pregunta que hice es algo que tenemos disponible. Por supuesto, quieren tomar pasos muy de poquito, pequeños pasos, y ver cómo va. Luego tendremos la oportunidad de negociar hasta el fin de año y hay tres extensiones de un año donde podemos extender un año y ver cómo van las cosas. Y también podemos volver a conversar con la ciudad de Santa Barbara. Y estamos considerando todas nuestras opciones en cuanto a los servicios. Si hay un solo oficial motorizado, no hace mucho para reducir la cantidad de horas extras en el condado. Mi otro no tiene muchos más, quizás uno o dos. Y vamos a tener que esperar y ver en qué posición nos pone como ciudad. Dice que otras personas han estado leyendo esas historias y se preguntaban si íbamos a estar haciendo esos cambios. Así que aprecio mucho su respuesta y el contexto. ¿Puede explicar un poquito la diferencia entre las responsabilidades de CalPERS infundadas y luego lo que es la responsabilidad en lo que es los oficiales de policía delegado? ¿Lo mismo? ¿Están separados? With our current payroll, as we in our current payroll, as we in our current payroll, as we in our current payroll, as we in our current payroll, as we in our current payroll, as we in our current payroll, as we in our current payroll, as we in our current payroll, as we in our current payroll, is for those people who had worked in the city and the city was only responsible for a portion of those people who worked in the city. We're always going to be responsible for a portion of those expenses, depending on how the employee uses that retirement. But if, for example, the employee passes away, that could happen to his wife, husband, or children. It depends on... Other dependents, depending on what they have chosen, and depending on that, how that non-financed portion is recalculated year by year from CalPERS. There are also investments in CalPERS, and they have projections on how those investments are going to be carried out, if the investments are desempeñándose de manera positiva o negativa. Y si bajan, veremos una reducción o una brecha. Y el motivo principal por lo que habíamos organizado ese fondo judiciario de pensiones es para tener posibilidad de enfrentar esas subas y bajas en los fondos de pensiones sin que nos impacten negativamente de manera habitual.

We'll continue with all funds revenue summary.

Muy bien, vamos a continuar con el resumen de gastos de todos los fondos. Están projected to increase from 28.6 to 25, 26 to 30 million. The main promoter is the inclusion and the times of capital project subsidies, which fluctuate year by year based on reintegration subsidies. improvements in the programs and activities and the main programs and income, sales taxes, state taxes. As we said before, they remain stable and have been discussed. There are other structural changes that affect year to year the cost of services from 2.9 to 2.3, sorry, also connected with what is the specific projections with projections that reflect the return, current annual activities, other income. It has to do with almost 11 million, mainly motivated by capital movements, financing and subsidies in non-restricted funds. So here, salaries and benefits represent the main category of spending, with a total of $9 million in 26-27, 28.9% of total expenses. This category reflects supporting 43 full-time positions and temporary employees in 50 and 120 mid-term employees. And depending on the operational demands, además de las obligaciones de beneficios de empleados, las obligaciones CalPERS no financiadas en cuanto a lo que es los gastos de seguridad pública. Los contratos están protegidos a 6.9 millones, 22.2% del total de gastos. Servicios profesionales y gastos están proyectados a 4.3 millones para 26, 27 y 13.8 millones percent of the total expenses, other operating expenses, 2.4 million, and composed of 7.1, 7.7 percent of total expenses. This includes supplies, services, maintenance, training, insurance, and other routine operations. Las no operativas en los gastos capitales están proyectados 8.5, 26, 27, 27.3% de gastos, incluyendo proyectos de mejoras capitales, compras de equipos, transferencias, costos de deuda relacionados y otros gastos de una sola vez.

Si me permiten.

quizas tendremos preguntas que surjan y queríamos explicar a las personas que quizás estés mirándolo en casa. Se ven muy similares al fondo general, pero todos los porcentajes se han cambiado porque estamos viendo los porcentajes con respecto a the city's funds. Therefore, we have public safety, and that shows how much of our salaries and benefits come from restricted or non-restricted funds, where there may also be rates like AB 939, as we said before. o también el problema con la seguridad pública, que es un porcentaje mucho más grande de nuestros dólares discrecionarios para el uso de dineros en esos programas y servicios. Y nuevamente, si las personas se están mirando en contexto de toda la racionalidad capital, es mucho más que 27.3 y los porcentajes se ven afectados de manera proporcional al mismo.

so with that um okay so this is oh sure yeah so uh can we go back yeah thanks okay so uh on the dollars and benefits

the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25, 26, I mean, in the 24, 25 MENTIONED SOMETHING MORE ABOUT THE UNFUNDED RESPONSIBILITIES. THESE ARE CURRENT FOR THE 23, 24, 25. THEY ARE THE CURRENT MONTHS. AND AS THEY MENTIONED BEFORE, WE HAD A LOT OF VACATIONS IN THAT PERSONAL MOMENT IN THOSE THREE YEARS. The budget now is much higher because now we do have those employees in function. I don't know if that's another factor. If we had had the vacancy for the position of the construction inspector, then at the budget level, it seems that we have that employee, but in the current ones, there will always be that difference and it will be more when we look at the current numbers. It may also be the position that I mentioned that had been added, but we already had the funds. In terms of unaccrued liability, then there's also the regular CPI increases, the increase in staff, Okay, so moving on, this is a simplified image of what's happening with the departments. What are the increases for fiscal year 26 for the general government? Our adopted budget is 11.5. at 11.6. That point of increase is the budget adapted for 27. It was 11.7. We are estimating it to go down to 11.6 where we are now. And you can see that it really ends up being the same number, 11.6. 0.01 in the year 1, minus 0.01 in the projection. That's why you can see that in all departments. And we're going to start with the Department of General Funds. For all slides, you will see in each department the fiscal year 25-26 and the next fiscal year 26-27 on the left. Son las distintas divisiones y programas que tenemos. El Departamento de Gobernación General es la oficina del Departamento de Administración, Servicios Legales, el Contrato del Abogado, Administración de Recursos, Archivos, Secretaría, Secretariado, Retención, Recursos Humanos, Preparación de Emergencia, y las promociones comunitarias, los oficiales de información pública, el programa de Yulisa, vitalidad económica, servicios de apoyo comunitario, los subsidios de administración de riesgo, la policía, los contratos, gobernación general, el presupuesto y varios miles de dólares por año. We also have social justice, racial equity, the main projects that we have completed, we started this year, including the five-year emergency operation plan, also the preparation of the general municipal elections in the fall, and that process is listed there the subsidy of the community program we started the eraser of arts and public places that the office of the city lawyer began to manage which is also connected to the city audit and the financial archives of seguro si estamos viendo este año un costo legal de $226,000 debido a muchas cosas que están más allá del control de la ciudad en relación a distintos temas complejos que la ciudad está lidiando con litigios y otras necesidades. Las cosas que sí podemos controlar, una auditoría en el seguro de propiedad y cosas que hemos podido reducir Reducir costos en $57,000 en ese área y esto ayudó a bajar el programa neto y descontinuar el programa de negocios verde. La vicealcaldesa Solorzano hablaba de cuáles eran los impactos. Esto era un mecanismo menos que teníamos para avanzar nuestra sustentabilidad verde, pero This was something that we could reduce, and there were other reductions that are not seen in all departments. Maybe a transfer to the next year, the economic vitality committee, and several programs in the next fiscal year. We are not anticipating funds, but there will be no reductions, and that would also be transferred to the next fiscal year, and the Economic Vitality Committee will hopefully have recommendations for the council. And I think I missed some things, such as education, compliance with the registry audit, and other issues. The next slide, what are we going to be looking at for the next fiscal year is to complete the emergency operations plan, the quinquennial emergency preparation plan, the election conclusion, Municipales Generales de Otoño del 2026, FORA, los distritos 135 del Consejo, estudio de clasificación y compensación, actualización de las reglas y reglamentos de personal. Estaremos implementando el programa de aplicación de normas para bicicletas eléctricas y desvío de jóvenes, con suerte en julio. Desarrollo de una plataforma de políticas legislativas. desarrollo del programa de arte en espacios públicos, negociaciones del contrato con la oficina del sheriff, de sindicales, el desarrollo de un nuevo plan estratégico, y también iniciar la colaboración con SJPIA para resolver temas pendientes en el cumplimiento de la OSCAP. Hay varias cosas pendientes. Algunos de los cambios e impactos importantes que estamos aprendiendo de este año, un incremento en los costos legales de $718,000. debido a muchas cosas que estamos anticipando que van a continuar o que van a surgir el próximo año. Hemos tenido más reducciones en lo que es la responsabilidad civil y de propiedad de lo que habíamos proyectado. Esos ahorros que habíamos sobreproyectado, $126,000, logramos reducir una reducción en reuniones y viajes. reducciones al programa de subvenciones de apoyos y servicios comunitarios y sé que el comité de finanzas y el consejo había hecho la recomendación y obviamente queremos apoyar los programas locales, pero hemos tenido la reducción para el próximo año en ese monto. hay un incremento de $25,000 para actualizar el plan de operaciones de emergencias de la ciudad. Y luego, otra cosa que se ha mencionado para la cantidad de personas es la cantidad de voluntarios que tenemos en la ciudad y querían que nos apoyemos en el uso de voluntarios y tendremos una inversión de $6,000 en la verificación de antecedentes de voluntarios. Entonces, nos estamos preparando para tomar más voluntarios que nos ayuden in the program. I'm very happy to answer your questions, and if not, we can pass the microphone to the next department. Questions? No?

Administration Services.

Very good. Administration Services provides including support functions, financial administration, central services, administrative information services, the main projects, the advance in technology with efforts through planning and preparation, migration, Microsoft 365, También la reducción en servicios profesionales de $35,000, ambos debido a retrasos en la transición de Microsoft 365 para el año fiscal 26-27. El departamento se va a enfocar en modernizar sistemas de tecnología, mejorar los procesos, mejorar las prácticas de administración de bienes, cambios materiales e impactos.

Hicimos

a reclassification of services, $180,000, part of the reduction, but more than anything, it's not a reduction. It went to another department, public works. We have funding for Plan A, five years, of $25,000, funding for Microsoft 365, $50,000, and funding for the redesign of the program um, um, um, equivalents, but they are not exactly equivalent full-time employees. You can see that there are five there, but it's because the council had approved a small superposition when Brenda was retiring that they could hire to not have an employee who was no longer than two years, but it was reflected there. You'll see it in the next fiscal year that they're going to be moving to four.

Any questions from council? Thank you.

Okay.

Well, then, thank you. It's my turn. For community development, we have ten full-time positions and two part-time positions. The budget for operations is a little over two million. The department includes development and community administration, advanced protection, housing, project review and construction, compliance with regulations and regulations, and animal care and control. As for the main projects that were initiated this year, we had a few different categories. that I think in which we dedicate the main efforts, including ensuring to end with the update of the General Plan and start the environmental review for it, and also continue to advance in implementing the housing element, continuing to update the regulations on ADUs and the other category is to try to improve the efficiency of some processes in the Department of Community Development. So, in this category, then, the creation of project structures to complement state laws and also to continue improving coordination with other agencies in the area and the other. is also to implement the new permit platform. As for important changes, you will see there at the top of the slide that the operating expenses this year it was 2.3 it was left in 2.1 and this savings of 200 thousand dollars can be attributed mainly to works that we are not going to complete this year that we propose to move next year so much of this are subsidies for the implementation of the general fund that we do not spend this year so that it will also allow us to dedicate ourselves next year and as 25,000 of that will appear in the next slide which is financing building permit fees for an update of the accounts that we charge for the studies for new construction we had a very busy year in the review program and that also depends on how many plans were available to be able to bill so and is going to be and so we get from that like almost double what we have planned for four hundred or seventy thousand dollars but it is not something that we can then put in contact and this was a year that we were busy maybe next year it will not be like that the other thing to highlight here is that on that specific program that the planners were very busy with the security division and uh fully recover the cost and construction of that program is not going to be able to cover the cost of the services provided that is why we want to review the costs that we charge for the construction so that we can cover the costs and also the new platform for emitting permits online is more expensive than the one we had previously but despite that we have also been able to uh audiences to be able to complete the process that is coming, also to be able to continue with the other products included in the housing movement, as it seems there, and then, for example, regulations on special housing support and the SB9 regulation on the reduction of lots and others, and also to update the regulations on short-term rental goods and also continue with some of the improvements to how we operate with the objectives that we have for next year, for example, to improve the permit dispensing process a platform that can kind of be what we're doing and also to be able to launch the platform to export licenses for dogs, as we are doing with our construction. So, as for the main changes for next year, we hope to continue to be busy in the whole part of the planning, so we hope to be able to poder cobrar un poquito más de donde empezamos 630 mil a pesar de eso el programa de permisos para construcción no está donde debería estar es por eso que que todavía tiene como un déficit de 365 mil dólares pero esperamos poder entonces So, we will continue to have a deficit with this information to authorize the construction permits, and then we will also continue to hire external contractors to one of the services. but well, the good thing about being able to also contract from outside is that we can also adjust the level of services that we need from them. What we expect is that they improve their efficiencies, for example, for the use of licenses for dogs and for construction, that we can ensure that they comply with the narrative, but that we also see a small increase in all the income that comes associated with that. With that I conclude my presentation. Do you have any other questions? Preguntas? No preguntas. good evening mayor good evening mayor good evening mayor good evening mayor good evening mayor good evening mayor good evening mayor good evening to review them. The administration of the Department of Capital Improvement, Transport, Parking and Public Storage, Street Maintenance, Vehicle Floating, Parking and Installation, Conservation of Resources, Soil Waste, and finally, the management of hydrological wells. The main Department of Public Works is the one that has the most employees at full time, 14 including myself, and two employees at partial time. in the maintenance department, mainly for its operating budget for this current fiscal year, 2027, 3.1 million, and the proposed reduction is 0.7 million. So, with that, I can talk about the main projects as initiated. me siento muy orgulloso de nuestro equipo que ha completado o ha puesto en marcha estos proyectos. Uno es el inicio de la construcción del proyecto de mejoramiento that the franklin trail in uh franklin that has been approved by the bolivian council and that the works will begin on june 15 sorry on june 22 but all that depends on the contractor also presenting us with his cianza y seguro, pero entonces, y técnicamente ya hemos completado el proyecto de mejoramiento de Linden Avenue. and that is to monetize the traffic flow and the city has received a few positive comments and also constructive criticism so we will make some changes to a lo que son en las distintos carriles, en concreto el de la ciclovía, porque ha habido una cierta confusión de los conductores aquí, pero que se están acostumbrando a ello, pero las mejoras que that we are trying to implement so that it can be seen better. And then when it comes to projects to improve the infrastructure, it is also to complete the sustainability and environmental programs, participation of more than three local students and the development of 20 cubic yards of waste by means of educational programs. We also have three days to start

for the environment, and the multilingual translation capabilities of our service requests have also been implemented in the services security platform.

So we have a multilingual translation service incorporated in GoGov, using Google Translation, but it has helped a lot for the service structure, but also with the Public Works Department and the inspectors. And I also want to emphasize the important changes in contacts during this fiscal year. Sometimes it does pay me to reduce a lot of the costs or recommend an action on the costs, especially when it's about the infrastructure. So I think what the principal manager has recommended is that these specific reductions to the railway support service services and that consulting service is not tied to a particular project for 30 thousand dollars is more for services of support to the railway so but these are consulting services not associated with a specific project so for example in we are also going to be for the multi-use rail track and we also have to it hasn't gone away but we're just but in terms of the routine inspections to be able to return to the bridge we are consistent and we are also changing the system that we do to determine how to manage these programs of our behavior and the bridges we have seven vehicles every two years but we are maintaining that with Caltrans, but we will ensure that Caltrans also takes care of the inspection of the bridges for vehicles, and we have bridges for vehicles and bridges for pedestrians. So, the inspection of the Caltrans transport bridges, in terms of the master plan for the railways system, This is something that is included in the master plan, I think it was included in 2019, and since then it has already been included in the system of free water, from 101 to... And then, fortunately, a lot of our irrigation systems are still not very old, but sometimes they are also damaged through sporting events, not to blame any of them in particular, but they are things that happen and we have to go there and repair the irrigation system. As for the maintenance of the system of riverbanks,

the public works department and not only does the maintenance department are part of the first but we are also responsible for

We are the first to respond in case there is a forecast for a rain or a lot of rain, so we have reduced routine maintenance for the river systems, but in case we have to prepare for an event of a lot of rain, we will continue to do so, although we will see a small reduction in routine maintenance. So let's move on to the next slide. Any questions about the fiscal year 2026-27? The only question I have is something I mentioned previously, which is the maintenance of the floodwater drainage system. Can you talk a little bit about how they are going to reduce routine maintenance when the year is done? Well, that's a good question. The maintenance of the pluvial drainage system is done throughout the year, because even if there is little flow in summer, or even if there is a lot in winter, it is something that is being used continuously. And then the maintenance of that system also includes having to clean

cleaning up the grates or the access and just cleaning it out.

That's the entrance. And then the culverts that are accumulating sediments. We typically use real flesh, some kind of sandstone,

of water, to then clean them, as we use the water treatment system,

inlets and the catch bases and so as far as the method that we use we use a system of with pressure water to clean them and also sometimes we clean our hands in some of the collection wells and as for the frequency is something that we do continuously but of course in winter we are always more aware of them especially in the days or weeks before there is going to be rain so then and I could add that in 2025-26 it will be easier than 2027 because there are only 22 years left in this year to see any place where there is enough staff as nick mentioned to in the next fiscal year but even our capacity and our ability to get to those in the next fiscal year. So we still have 22 days left in this fiscal year and we can take care of all that. So I don't want people to think that we are not going to do everything during this year, but due to our ability, we can make some cuts in the little that is left of the fiscal year. Well, okay. So, the projects that are funded by subsidies appear somewhere. Gonzalo Mura was already talking to Lizeth about that. If you go back to the previous slide, actually see the full budget including public funds and also projects to improve the infrastructure. In this slide, it says 3,100,000, which obviously doesn't correspond with the one I'm looking at now.

Yeah, with the 10.9 for proposed.

The difference between those two figures is probably just the infrastructure improvements. So we've separated this in public works so that this corresponds. So we've received comments in the committee's meeting that people wanted to see the expenses in operations against the infrastructure improvements. We separated it there in that slide, but we didn't do it here. But if I'm not mistaken, 7.8 million of that would be investment in the improvement of the infrastructure, while 3.1 million 100,000 is for operations expenses. And then, for example, sports futures could also be included in these public works reports, because there are many subsidies for the public, so that was the comment during the Finance Committee, that there may be sometimes very substantial changes on what is going to be invested in the infrastructure, that we do not reflect operations, actually. So then we are going to move on to the year 26-27, so I'm going to talk about the bottom line, of the note because there will be an increase in the budget of the department of 100,000 dollars that can also be attributed to the costs of public services, to the increase in the costs of public services, as it would happen in a house, the cost of natural gas, electricity, water, sewerage. uh as far as major projects the main projects are planned i also feel very proud that our team is working on it during this fiscal cycle 26-27 in starting the construction of the replacement project of the carpentry bridge avenue that is going to be listed as we go through the solicitations and see how the climate is in this current solicitation environment. It is the completion of the pedestrian crossing project in the area of the carpentry prep. And just a quick update on that. Finally, we have Caltrans, who have granted us a permit to be able to also a stop work notice on that particular project and I believe Caltrans has a right to forget about their land and I think when we talked about that we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back and we had to actually go back but with another part of the organization and but in the end we also get the permission to obtain a right of servitude on its property and we are going to start on Monday I hope with the works unfortunately I was It was going to be once the school course was over, but... But now, or more fortunately, that's going to be before the school course, but not before the summer, so it's going to cause some problems for the parents and the children, so we're going to be able to take advantage of our summer vacation. So, we hope to start one of the other major systems of traffic control, but is executing a minimum understanding for role of a pilot in the Community Hazardous Waste Collection Center program. That is basically, you know, for the dangerous waste collection program because before the carpentry residents had some other things they could take charge of, we would always refer them to the county's dangerous waste collection system, but unfortunately the carpentry residents had to pay to be able to get rid of these dangerous waste. and for them to take them. But now that we are going to be part of this program, then the carpentry companies can go to the Solid Waste Correction Center that is in Goleta. And then we are going to pass the protection of the population of the garbage implementation plan. What is that? Then the State Board of Water Resources forces all local authorities to also implement a program to collect the garbage.

So, in all areas where there is current, it is required to have a place where this water is going to be collected.

This is still not a project to improve infrastructure, but but it's a plan, so they still don't have to assign them any money, but I don't know exactly what that's going to imply, about what we're going to have to modify for the river water drainage system. So many of the river water agencies are preparing for it, but it's something required due to the State Water Resource Control Board deliguas de aguas limpias y entonces la junta estatal de recursos hídricos está requeriendo a las agencias locales a que implementen un plan para poder capturar toda la basura básicamente es una cuenca de sedimentación donde vayan todas las aguas fluviales para poder entonces recoger toda la basura una pregunta sobre eso estamos hablando de básicamente mesh or capping system or anything like that to be able to capture all the garbage that can be considered as waste in the rainwater drainage system so yes that's what we're thinking or what we're thinking the vocal agencies to be able to then we're going to be able to capture some of the larger-sized residues, beyond what are sediments, such as plastic emulsions, or something like that. But is that going to be approved? Or are they going to give us specifications on the part of the State? The reason why I ask this is because if they are the ones who are going to teach that, how can they make sure that in areas where there are many fires, that we do not end up with many other rubble and other types of waste blocking these systems? It is a good question. Thank you. Yeah, I'd be interested in keeping up the speed on that. And that will be something more than we had planned. Yes. So you can keep us informed about that. So before the City Council approves any type of trash implementation, this particular matter... So before the City Council approves any type of trash implementation, this particular matter...

So before the City Council approves any type of trash implementation, this particular matter... So before the City Council approves any type of trash implementation, this particular matter...

So before the City Council approves any type of trash implementation, this particular matter... So before the City Council approves any type of trash implementation, this particular but the only thing I know is that we are going to, the board of directors will force us to prepare a plan to implement this. The last point of projects planned is the financing of the capital improvement program 2017, the implementation of the NEXUS study. This is very important because the main council will have to get involved in in providing indications of the capital improvement program so that it adjusts more to our needs over the next five years. So we have a capital improvement plan for 2020 that you have already seen, but basically we are going to have to renew it to obtain more comments from the community and I am now in conversations with the mayor to prepare a program for this because this is something that will take like a year it is not something simply that we can present it once to the council to approve it the municipal council has also indicated that it also wants to get involved in the program of better infrastructure or the cip so then we will present the program for this once we have it in terms of changes of importance We have eliminated many engineering services. Here you can see repair and maintenance of parking and facilities, that's important, $91,000 more or less. Also, a reduction in consulting services. Unfortunately, this is the one that is something that touches me very closely. It is the update of the pavement conditions. We don't have funds, as you know, for many projects to improve the pavement, but but we're going to have to update the budget and we're going to need more money to be able to update the payment management system or PCI informed decisions to be able to make informed decisions about what street that pavement is before I give the floor to the parks recs to the department of parks recreational activities and community services to a question I think my question is that it has included the design of the community pool but Yes, but how does it work? Because I always assumed that this was an active and recreational park project. Yes, the Department of Parks and Parks is right. It is in charge of the projects to improve its structure, but we don't take, how should I say, but we don't have, they know pools better than I do, better than we do. It is not our exclusive responsibility, so the Department of... services and recreational activities know better about this type of issues, so we do it together with them, so we take care of the project to improve our structure, so we are involved in its design also with the municipal engineers, and we have to observe the plans and give them a good look. So, yes, it is a project to improve our structure, but it is being managed by Janet. Thank you. And this is a decision that, from the time of Dave Derfinger, Matt Roberts and Steve Goha, and when there was a certain confusion sometimes about which projects correspond to the public works, which is the Department of Parks and Recreative Activities,

It's shepherded to a certain point, and then when it gets to the most gray areas, there could be some gray area there and some overlap, but for the most part. And also, I want to apologize.

I was over here trying to figure out if we weren't doing the same, but sometimes it's just a little bit of a change when we've seen somebody And you know that the bridge project is something so important. And then we added it to the presentation of online slides, but I don't know why this slide doesn't appear here. I want to see if there was another change that we had to make, because it didn't appear here in the slides that were available online. So I'll pass the floor to John, if he doesn't have any more questions. Thank you.

Good evening again. I'm not going to say that they always save the best for last, but that's how it happened.

The Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services has seven full-time members and about 80 to 90 full-time members that fluctuate a lot depending on the season. The budget for the department is $2.3 million and we have proposed the fiscal year. In addition to providing services and programs each and every day to our community, we're completing a number of projects this year. And I've highlighted just a few for you people. The council recently approved the donation policy. We've completed the policy on needs assessment before time. All of our program applications, forms, and all of our signings have been translated and now being offered in English and in Spanish by our facility managers. And we've also just recently sent out surveys for EVO and our garden managers and have had a number of people surveyed for all of our services. And we've just recently awarded $28,000 Y después de los alquileres en los que son las instalaciones, en lo que es el año fiscal, hemos reducido $28,000 en el presupuesto de H-Wealth y $28,000 en los gastos de la biblioteca. En el hall de veteranos, hemos aumentado el presupuesto en $2,000. El equipo ha tomado personal y supervisión de parques e instalaciones de antemano. También la provisión de insumos. TUMOS y la participación de Betts Hall. Hemos reducido $4,000 en la piscina comunitaria, el programa de viajes, y hemos reducido $3,200 en el programa de salvavidas juniors. Dado que no tenemos un programa de verano de excursiones, hay una reducción en los gastos en ese punto, ya que estamos pesando la tarifa de esa excursión a los participantes. ¿Eso es un gasto de una sola vez? Hemos planeado no ofrecer excursiones el próximo año tampoco. Déjeme dar un paso hacia atrás. Los excursiones en costo, vamos a estar haciendo las excursiones el día de Rincon Beach. for the additional expense, and it was also a lot of logistics. A lot of logistics were involved. However, I think that it's kind of focusing more on the program itself and really focusing on the economy today. and emphasize the days in Rincon Beach so that everyone can have the same experience. Next fiscal year, we have quite a few projects planned, which are, again, in addition to our daily operations, our program offerings, our social events, some big projects. Algunos proyectos importantes que están todos al tanto y que la concejal mencionó es el proyecto de renovación de la piscina junto con obras públicas. Estamos esperando que el diseño inicial se complete y tener un mejor entendimiento del costo del proyecto. We are also planning to launch a fundraising campaign for the renovation of the community pool and also perhaps get funding services through subsidies. We are planning to launch the open space planning phase, Rincón Bluffs, which is known as Bluffs 3, and also start the construction of Bluffs 2, which we also know as the Coastal View Trail. The next fiscal year, we're looking at surveys to see what adjustments we can make. We've also sent out surveys this fiscal year, and we're excited to get some data back from our participants, hear what they like, what they don't like, what they want more of, and make any adjustments that we need, and make any adjustments and changes that we can make in the next fiscal year in the programs and services. El siguiente año hemos reducido $9,000 en gastos operativos de AgeWealth en reuniones, viajes, suministros, materiales y presupuesto. Reducimos los gastos operativos de la biblioteca comunitaria en $25,000. La principal reducción, programas bibliotecarios, que es el presupuesto para apoyar programas como, por ejemplo, the summer reading program, and also a large book edition, among other line items.

The department reduced our sign replacement budget by $2,500.

And we reduced our sign replacement budget by $7,000. And we reduced our sign replacement budget by $7,000. including excursions, transportation costs, supplies, and materials as well. And I want to stress that, although these are significant reductions for our budget, they're not only significant reductions for our budget, it's not just, you know, we're not eliminating any of the programs that are offered, but it's time to get more creative on the programs, insumos, programs, materials, the donation policy, as well, to get additional support and be able to go through the next fiscal year. And I'm available for your questions. Pregunta rapidita, Jeanette, de la reducción de los costos operativos de la biblioteca. Más que nada en los programas, hemos visto tratar que el sector público quizás esté patrocinando algunos de los eventos, como por ejemplo la noche de películas o algunos otros específicos proyectos educativos. Thank you so much for sending me up. Thank you so much for sending me up. Thank you so much for sending me up. Thank you so much for sending me up.

Other questions?

Thank you.

And I just want to reiterate that philosophy.

that we have to observe every year in this instance. It was about us reducing as much as possible, extending the options to find solutions without having to eliminate, or we're not recommending eliminating any program. This could change again in the coming years. But that's where we are now in terms of the next steps. And these have already been highlighted in terms of what the departments are going to be working on in the next fiscal year. And the financial plan for the next five years will be the improvement plan from the roof of this building, to see what the ciclo de vida útil del mismo y cuando los costos de reparaciones, cuántos serán cuando nos tocará lo mismo con el plan de administración de pavimentación, como dijo John, también tenemos las negociaciones con Los sindicatos, las negociaciones con el contrato con Alguacil, el presupuesto de dos años, el plan estratégico y está en superposición con el próximo presupuesto. Y bueno, eso sería todo. Tenemos la siguiente diapositiva y esto concluye nuestro informe y estaré dispuesto a I'll just say, you know, I think this was, the presentation was really, really good. The budget is very hard to communicate because it's so complex and it changes every minute and it's very well crafted and very well laid out. Very, very good. todo lo que contiene los gráficos fueron muy buenos muy buena herramienta de comunicación y aprecio mucho todos los departamentos que estuvieron tratando de arremangarse y buscar la manera de ahorrar fondos lo más posible como fuera posible Quiero hacerme eco de lo que dijo el concejal Clark. Creo que la presentación identifica claramente el déficit estructural. Y estoy muy orgullosa que el consejo y el personal trabajaron juntos. porque estamos tomando decisiones muy difíciles, pero creo que estamos haciendo también las preguntas difíciles y buscando o viendo qué es lo que nos depara en el futuro. Estamos pensando ahora en las decisiones que estamos tomando, cómo nos van a afectar en 10 años de pronto. El siguiente punto que quiero mencionar es que estamos preparados muy bien en ciertas áreas, como por ejemplo, Sustentabilidad fiscal, las reservas que tenemos, cerca de 6 millones llegando al 26, 27, pero donde nos está faltando es cómo vamos a llegar a ese punto a futuro. and staff and the directors for really digging into every single line item in the budget. I know I think it can be really difficult, so I think the directors are very hard working. I'm not really answering the question that was a little bit difficult, and I want to say respond to what the public has been saying about how you can spend less. And the city has made a joint effort on how to advance certain points and look for donations or additional subsidies. Thank you very much to the staff, also thank you to the council for having asked such difficult questions as we try to see what the future holds for us. Yes, quickly, an excellent presentation, and what I love is that everything was divided individually. A suggestion, and I think it's going to take a little bit more work, but if we take each of the capital improvements, if we were to divide them into facets of the specific needs, or like, for example, the program It included the whole city, but they had divided it by neighborhoods. But if they did it with different portions, maybe we could look for solutions instead of trying to generate a million dollars, if we could have to generate 50,000, 100,000, y tratar de solicitar también el apoyo de la comunidad en lugar de tener que esperar 10 años que nos tomará Bueno, 10 años o más el poder ahorrar un millón de dólares. Pero bueno, tenemos un presupuesto ahí como en el área interpretativa de Tamal. Tenemos 150,000 dólares. Si lo dividiéramos, estaríamos viendo componentes de 20,000, 30,000 dólares. Y esas cosas más pequeñas se puede hacer anualmente sin tener que estar tratando de encontrar 300,000 dólares en el presupuesto. Muchas gracias. quiero hacerme eco de lo que todos han estado mencionando y también mencionar algo que todos estamos reconociendo y que en definitiva me parece a mí que la ciudad de carpintería y sus constituentes tienen a conversation with themselves about what we want to do, what we want to do, or how we want the carpentry to look, because we're so lucky to have this approach with the budget, because now we're not at the edge of the cliff. We see what's coming up. We see that the revenues and the expenditures are no están alineados y en cierta manera podemos hacer cortes aquí o allí, pero no vamos a poder hacer suficientes cortes en los gastos Porque están fuera de nuestro control, como por ejemplo, incluyendo las negociaciones del contrato con el Departamento del Alguacil, el contrato de costos, los costos aumentan y cuanto a lo que es la protección de nuestras finanzas, yo aprecio mucho la habilidad de hacerlo de manera que está alineada con cómo la gente de carpintería quiere hacerlo en lugar de tomar decisiones drásticas que están como fuera de línea o no alineadas con lo que la comunidad quiere. Y es muy bueno ver que podemos llegar a donde queremos llegar, aunque vaya a ser difícil, pero una reserva de 40% de estabilidad fiscal es algo de lo que creo que debemos estar muy, muy orgullosos. Muchas gracias. Quiero abrir el comentario público. No tengo ningún orador. Tengo una, perdón, un orador. ¿Rogelio Delgado? Sí, acérquese. No hace falta que espere, sí. Muchas gracias, Rogelio Delgado, residente de Carpintería. Ay, estoy contento que me quedé para su informe.

Este es el informe que estuve esperando desde hace meses, ¿se acuerda?

I think the staff that we have with you and the mayor and the council members that we have are the ideal team to get out of this potential crisis.

And for a moment I thought that There was going to be a train, not a light.

I thought the light at the end of the road was going to be a train and not the light, but this seems to be the light at the end of the tunnel. But very good team effort, the staff, the community. The community is also making adjustments. There are some credit cards, more than ever. There you see, uh, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh, there you see, uh,

It may look like there is no way out, but just believe.

It may look like there is no way out, but just believe.

City Manager Michael Meyer mentioned Proposition 13.

Esas fueron miles y miles de casas que se construyeron en los setentas y ochentas.

Y por qué no se vendían? Porque, bueno, estaban a 1.3 la propuesta y en lugar de pagar

$3,000 in property tax per year. They paid $5,000, $10,000, $15,000 per year.

And well, we've been moving since the first day, but we can't sell the houses.

Two, three, four months, the sellers are stagnant and not... They want to lower prices in real estate. They're 30 years old. The mortgages, 6.5%, and they're going down 5.5%. And it's really a market for buyers. But it's going to get better. And future projects. como por ejemplo los acantilados, Baylor. Ese proyecto, por ejemplo, sería una solución, pero por ahorita podemos encontrar la solución a nosotros mismos. Gracias por sus comentarios. No tengo otras tarjetas de orador. Tenemos a alguien en Zoom. Cerramos el comentario público. Vuelve al consejo para la propuesta.

Sí. Si me permite. Quiero agregar una cosa más.

Nuestro equipo de comunicación, que ahora es un pasante, y Lisa Brown, están en coordinación con Leah Boyd, y Two Trumpets, ha cambiado mucho. Y las finanzas cambiaron mucho, pero lo que podemos hacer es presentar la información yendo también en lo que es la presentación. Y el trabajar en equipo, solo podemos alcanzar tantas cosas. Tenemos que lograr ciertas obligaciones. Y como dijo Rogelio, el comentador público, hay personas que han estado haciendo su parte. Y al final del día, somos todos parte de la comunidad. Queremos lo mejor para nuestra ciudad. Gente que ha estado trabajando positivamente con la ciudad para darnos sus opiniones en cómo podemos communicarnos mejor creo que es en la comunidad del consejo el personal de la ciudad y por supuesto el equipo de comunicación que han estado haciendo un gran trabajo para conectarlo todo y el apoyo administrativo que apoyan a todos los directores de departamentos con las cifras presupuestarias asegurando que toda la información en orden y correcta ha sido gran parte de esto y quiero darles crédito a todos ellos por el trabajo que han hecho. I propose that the resolution 6, 4, 7, 6, 6, 4, 7, 7, 6, 4, 7, 8, 7, 9, and 8, 0 be adopted by the reading of the title, only that the mid-year budget be approved for budget adjustments for the fiscal year 25, 26, 26, 27, and a full-time position be authorized as provided in the I would like to thank and congratulate the highest staff members for an excellent presentation. Comité financiero y al personal por una excelente presentación es de lo mejor que he visto, así que muchísimas gracias. Y ahora vamos a la actualización legislativa.

Thank you, Mayor.

Gracias, Alcaldesa Larcón. Concejales, una actualización rapidita esta noche en cuanto a la recomendación de la Liga de Ciudades de California para oponerse a la ley estatal 1383. This will make several significant changes to the public employee pension reform, known as PEPRA in English. This would be lowering the retirement age from 57 to 55 years for public safety employees with a formula de 3% a los 55 años y permitiría a las agencias locales distintas perspectivas de fórmulas. O sea, que estaría eliminando ciertas restricciones y permitir servicios de Obtener servicios mayores de lo que es la jubilación. Esta es la base del por qué la Liga de Ciudades de California se opone porque puede aumentar el costo sustancialmente a las municipalidades, municipios en California. Entonces, se están pidiendo que las ciudades envíen una carta en oposición de esta ley propuesta. I want to add that I had a meeting with all the city administrators and we asked the question, we have a fire district and the police contract, and we want to better understand how it would impact our city. And as we are understanding it, this would not affect us as much as if we had our own department, but the direct impact on the different agencies, if it would be affecting us, Y creo que esto ya ha sido presentado en la oficina del gobernador, así que es importantísimo que si vamos a actuar lo hagamos de manera expedita, ya que no nos queda mucho tiempo. Quizás ya sucedió desde el viernes, en lo que va del viernes pasado.

um okay i will any pop question council do you want to support it or do you do the recommendation to oppose it right so i will

I'm going to take a public comment. I don't have any speaker cards. Is there anyone on Zoom? There's no one who has their hand up. We close the public comment. It seems that they already have enough direction from the council and we go to the committee reports, including other points presented by members of the council. Viendo que no hay nada, vamos a confirmar la presencia para las reuniones futuras y hemos terminado 8.53 pm la reunión de esta noche. Muchísimas gracias.
