“Thanks for putting this together. I know it's taken, what, a year and a half, two years to get it all together, but really a lot of outreach to the community and great feedback from the people. And this is, you know, along with we recently did the public services, public works program. Yeah, they just did a kind of a facility plan as well. So now between the two plans, the Parks Master Plan, the Public Works Plan, what's it called?”

“Facility assessment, along with the dollars associated with each, it just gives us some real information where we can plan for the next 20, 30 years of improvements. And I think it's just really, really good work. So thanks again.”

“I had a question. So I'm interested in making sure that we're in compliance with the ELI percentage. So you mentioned that a number of $246,000. So if we were to spend that money this year, would we then be back in compliance? Correct. Okay. And how – so what would be a – alternative i guess how could we spend money 246 000 could we give rent vouchers out uh could what's what's kind of the most doable uh for fountain valley i know we we there's all these options but if it's um okay you know just a matter of uh writing a check for 246 000 to i don't know somewhere and then we're in compliance…”

“Thank you. Today is July 14th, also known as, for any French people out there, Bastille Day today. It's when they stormed the Bastille prison in the year 1789, started the French Revolution. And France gave us a lot of support in our own American Revolution. So, unfortunately, it didn't help them in the World Cup today. They lost this game. Oh, boy. But we'll still celebrate with them anyway. And let's say Pledge of Allegiance. Ready?”

“Vice Mayor Harper? I have a question. So we're currently doing a community, the study we referred to earlier, the community, what do you call it, statement of cover? Yeah, so would the results of that study impact the capital costs required for the future build out?”
City Council · Jul 14, 2026
- Play at 2:15:09
“Well, yeah. So my point is the capital costs in this study could be underestimated. And maybe they'll be higher after we get the results of the study, the statement of covering community resource. Allocation? Study? Let me finish. The current capital costs that are in there right now, are they from the $48 million? Is that from the facility resource assessment? Where did the $48 million come from?”

“And so when you're- Okay, but how do we get those values? I mean, we- Yeah, I'll let Nicole speak to that.”
City Council · Jul 14, 2026
- Play at 2:17:23
“No, I understand that. I don't need all that information. I'm looking at the study, and the cost, the capital cost, it looks like that it's based on some assumption about the square footage of the station and cost per square foot.”

“So if we adopt it now, we can still update it for when the studies complete? Okay. All right. Thank you.”

“I had a question. So with the saying on the ADU question, so how would, if I'm building, somebody builds 1,000 square foot ADU, how do I calculate the, what would the fee be? I can't really figure it out.”
City Council · Jul 14, 2026
- Play at 2:25:39
“Yeah, that's the one where I don't, okay, so for 1,000 square feet, but I can't charge it on 750, so they only get charged for 250 square feet of the 1,000, or how does that work?”
City Council · Jul 14, 2026
- Play at 2:27:14
“But does the, does the, so if I'm building a thousand square foot ADU, do I get charged for the entire thousand square feet or just the, just the 250 that's over the 750 that we can't charge on?”
City Council · Jul 14, 2026

“guess I don't like the answer yeah I'll do it because I didn't understand it before now I understand it now so 775 square feet is the ad you what's the size of the main house well I wasn't factoring that in well you have oh you have to that's part of the I didn't want to okay a 1400 square feet 1400 square feet Okay, so the 1,400 square foot table.”
City Council · Jul 14, 2026
- Play at 2:36:05
“No, I'm going with her number, so it's 226, right, 226. Doing the math. Okay, so we go 1,400 square foot is 1,033.74, right?”
