Could you take, that's the latest version of the brochure, correct? Correct. So if you could take that down because we're going to, we need to go back and walk through. Okay. Starting at the beginning again. although that picture is beautiful.
New speaker you gave us a starting point with the brochure based on our original comments and the public. We also got letters from the public that had things plus there's some also just motherhood and apple pie stuff that everybody's going to put on the list. Right.
That would be helpful. And then how you turn that into the first draft of the brochure.
Yeah, so it's sort of an unusual agenda item because I'm not sure questions are really appropriate. You're really looking for input from us to see if we missed anything. So as opposed to questions, let's just go ahead. If any of the council people have some items that they didn't hear that they think should be on the list, I'll let you go ahead and do that now and then we'll get the same thing from the public through their public comments or we can do public comments first.
Let's have them join in on the fun here. I know Cindy's going to have a few. Because I know you, Cindy.
Anything else? Okay. Nancy, are you going to come up?
Thank you very much. So those of you who are online, could you put your hand up if you want to speak? We've got Ian as the only one currently. Ian?
Thank you. Good comments, Ian. Carolyn Hardy, do you have anything to say? Victoria, go ahead.
New speaker thank you. New speaker thank you. New speaker Carolyn. New speaker yes, I could speak and say, see, this is why we're doing this in the public. Carolyn, we can't hear you yet.
Thanks. Okay, great. Thanks, Carolyn. Thanks for sticking it out here. Anybody else? Last chance. Kelly, do you have anything to say? I guess not. All right. Let's bring it back and now we can put in our ideas, comments, priorities. Jeff, you want to start? Sure.
There are things that are going to go into the brochure.
Great comment. Hans, you want to go or you want to, Alessandra, you want to go? Hans, go ahead.
All right, thank you. As usual, all the council people did an incredible job of encapsulating most of what I think. I love Hans's idea about the high performance organization I think demonstrating that that they know how to get things done efficiently and also communicating with council members in our weekly sessions to make sure that they're getting the feedback that we get from the community because we get a lot of it and being able to translate translate that into how to get things done clearly working down through their through the director level and this person coming in is going to have…
Do you have any other things you need from us in order to move forward? I guess you're going to come up with a sample of the brochure to show to the group on Friday.
I don't know. What's the time range that we can work with? You can work with maybe Nova tomorrow on down. She'll get with all of us. Do we want to talk about the time right now? Some of us have more flexibility than others.
New speaker I think we can do it in half an hour. New speaker I think so. New speaker all right. We'll just be really organized.
Are you going to send it to us in advance?
I heard a little bit, a lot of emphasis earlier on, on the character of the town and that sort of thing.
We have to send the agenda out. by around 11 on Monday. Can you get it to Nova by then?
New speaker thank you for your patience. New speaker sure. New speaker I appreciate you.
New speaker bye-bye. I'd like to have a discussion about item four, the development of a streetscape plan for downtown. I know that Hans had put that on the agenda. I discussed it with him earlier. If we might want to push that off. Everybody okay? Everybody's okay with that? Okay. So we're going to put that on next month's agenda at this point, you think? All right. Do we need to vote on that? Do we need to vote on that? Brian?
Okay. I think we had consensus. All right. We're looking forward to that, though. It's going to be an interesting discussion. We're moving on to 5, at-will compensation benefits plan. It's a resolution 2026065, approving the fiscal year 2026-27 at-will or unrepresented compensation and benefits plans. The proposal includes, well, I'm not going to read all that. You're going to cover that in there. you're going to cover what I was about to read in your presentation. So go ahead and make the presentation.
Could you go back to the slide that showed, just go back a couple. Next, no, forward. Next one. How do you explain the Salinas, Sand City, the HR managers basically being so far below market median? I mean, they're bringing the market median down.
Salinas. I mean, they're 148 versus market median of 200,000. I mean, they're off by 25%.
I have no idea. On top of that, it's a large agency. It's a lot of work.
