I've got a motion from Councilmember Garnika second from Mayor Pro Tem all those in favor aye aye any opposed okay motion carries thank you okay moving on to our presentations our first presentation today is a proclamation in the month of March and And this is to honor and recognize Cesar Chavez, farm worker labor leader, civil rights movement leader. And recognize that March 31st is going to be proclaimed Cesar Chavez Day in Fillmore. In the state of California, we do have Cesar Chavez Day. It is a day of service for our state. And I wanted to do a proclamation again as mayor to recognize Cesar Chavez and recognize the impact that he's had on farm worker communities, but really all of California and particularly how the movement that he and others began for farm labor continues to this day and that we have several organizations present today to receive a proclamation as they are continuing the in honor of Cesar Chavez in the spirit of helping farm workers here locally. So what I'll do is I'll read the proclamation and then I'll go down and sort of introduce each of the three groups that we have here today to receive it. Okay. Proclaiming March 31st, 2025 as Cesar E Chavez Day. Whereas Cesar Estrada Chavez was born on March 31st, 1927, and raised by farm workers who lost their home and livelihood during the Great Depression. He toiled alongside men, women, and children who performed daily back breaking labor for meager pay and in deplorable conditions, and who were denied the most basic protections, including minimum wages, health care, and access to drinking water. And whereas having witnessed such conditions, Cesar Chavez resolved himself to bettering the plight of the farm worker. Thus encouraging the organization of the National Farm Workers Association, the NFWA in 1962, later known as the United Farm Workers of America, wholeheartedly championing the cause of the farm worker, organizing multiple hunger strikes, marches, and nonviolent resistance. And whereas, because of his extraordinary accomplishments on August 8th, 1994, Cesar Chavez, posthumously, became the second Mexican American to receive the presidential medal of freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States, and was honored by the state of California by the Declaration of Cesar Chavez Day on the date of his birth. And whereas Cesar Chavez has left a legacy as an educator, environmentalist, and a civil rights leader, reminding us that every job has dignity. Every life has value, and everyone, no matter who they are, what they look like, or where they come from, should have a chance to flourish. And whereas the city of Fillmore has historically benefited as a community, from the rich diversity of agricultural laborers, who would become an integral part of its social and economic fabric. Continuing its farming tradition, many members of which are still actively involved with the agricultural community. And where in Santa Paula, our neighboring city in the Santa Clara Valley, is home to the first monument dedicated to farm workers in the United States. Unveil 15 years ago in 2010. And whereas today, several local organizations continue to honor the work of Cesar Chavez, and raising awareness and supporting the needs of our local farm workers, including one step alaves, which has hosted an immigration information forum and a farm worker appreciation day. They had one last year and going to continue to have one I think hopefully on a yearly basis or if not more giving out supplies such as gloves, scissors, lunch bags and fruit sacks that farm workers, farm workers, families need here in Fillmore. As well as house farm workers whose mission is to promote affordable, safe, and stable housing for Ventura County farm workers and their families through education and advocacy. And friends of the field workers whose supportive programs include providing emergency funding to Warmer worker families of Ventura County who are experiencing a variety of crisis situations such as an illness, injury or loss of housing. Now therefore be it resolved that I, Christina Viesenior, may of the City of Filmor, and on behalf of the Filmor City Council, do hereby proclaim March 31st, 2025, the CR each Chavez day in the city of Filmorm, and encourage all residents to promote services to the community and honor of SSR Chavez' life and work. Right. You're coming, you're asking for... So I just wanted to come down to present the proclamations to the three agencies who are here today. So first I'll call up one step all of this if they would like to say just a quick minute too of what you've done to help farmers And we'll take a photo too. So let's do that first Okay. Thank you very much. I'm going to say something. Thank you. Thank you to our fellow City Council members. We really appreciate it and we have and may again our farm worker appreciation day where we will be hopefully doing the same thing and even more building off giving to our farm worker community and those who support us. But we are also participating in the Cesar Chavez March and we invite you guys if you guys would like to RSVP and join us. We're going to participate in the Oxnard March. They're providing the one step alavés with free mode of transportation so they're going to provide us a bus and we'll be able to get free food and we just hope you guys could come in support in Half-one. Thank you Okay, next I will call up house farm workers to receive the proclamation Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Winston, and friends of field workers. Thank you to my board members and task force members for being here. But also on behalf of House Farmers. Thank you, Mayor V. S. Injured. Thank you for all of your efforts to help the success of the missions of each organization you've named and presented today. We appreciate you. Okay, and last I'd like to call up, Candy with Friends of the Field Workers. Thank you. Thank you for having us today here and congratulations to the other organizations. Just keep focusing on the mission. Friends of your workers focus on the phone workers. And we are always trying to help and see what the needs are. And we have different programs like the laundry love. We have also a scholarship for, yeah, for the friends, field workers, children, and for students that are going to college. And also we do have the diapers love for all the workers' families. And we continue working and focus and our mission to see what their needs are. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And it's all what I wanted to say in Spanish that we are very grateful for the campaigns that continue to work here in the field of dentura and live in the humor and now I have the value of Santa Clara. Thank you very much. Thank you for your work and we are always asking for hope to you and. Thank you. Thank you. Wonderful. Thank you. That was our first presentation. Our second presentation. I would yes, I'm sorry. I would just point out that, so just a little background for me. My father was a Bracero. He signed a contract down in Mexico City in 1941 to come up and work in the fields of actually Montana harvesting sugarbeats. And then from there he took a second contract and worked actually picking cotton in Bakersfield. This was all during World War II. And then subsequently went to Pomona where he was picking oranges. So, you know, Cesar Chavez Day means a lot to me because it directly affected my family in terms of the things that Cesar Chavez fought for, directly affected my family and myself. So it's very meaningful. Thank you for sharing that. Thank you very much. I'll just add two. I think our community of Fillmore, no more Santa Clara Valley and Ventura County, really our state of California everywhere. All of our communities, either come from farm workers, been impacted by farm workers or the work of farm workers has supported and made our communities thrive. And my story is my grandparents on both sides of the family came to Santa Paula and to Fillmore in the early 1930s. And my grandfather just, just, just the interesting little story. In order to bring my grandmother over from Mexico, he got a letter from Santa Paula's citrus saying that Bob and Ores has, you know, a stable job and is able to, to that helped to bring my grandmother over. And so I think just all of us who have farm workers in our family either as parents, aunts, uncles, or as grandparents or as great grandparents, you know, depending on the generation, have these stories about how farm workers, farm work has helped us to stay in our families and help to make us thrive. So thank you for sharing that. I appreciate it. Yeah, everything else is smooth. I also would like to mention, if it wasn't for the opportunities in agriculture here in Fillmore, I would not be here today. From both sides of my family who came from two different parts in Mexico, they both came here for the agricultural opportunities. So I'm really grateful that we have this proclamation today. And I'm also grateful for the current opportunities that are available in Fillmore. We have a lot of avocado picking, a lot of agriculture that's going on today. So it's an ongoing thing and I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for the organizations here in town who continue to support it, as well as our organization here in North Filmor who houses a lot of immigrants who are here to cultivate to close to pay and pick the fruit and all the work that then needs to be done here in California. So I'm really grateful for this proclamation. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, we'll move on to our next presentation, which is the Housing Trust Fund of Ventura County. I'll call it. Linda. Okay, they asked me to be techy. Let me see if I can figure this out. Okay. Thank you. I've already forgotten. I think you said PowerPoint, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to just read it. Let me just put that on. Let me just put that on. Let me just put that on. Let me just put that on. Let me just put that on. Let me just put that on. Let me just put that on. Let me just put that on. Let me just put that on. Let me just put that on. Thank you. Thank you. My name is Linda Brauntrager and the CEO for the Housing Trust Fund Ventura County as well as the Housing Land Trust Ventura County. Thank you Mayor, City Council members, City Manager, City Attorney for the opportunity to give you an update tonight about the Housing Trust Fund. It's been a few years since I've been out here to visit, and I think it's really important that you learn about all the exciting things that we're doing. For a reminder, we were created in 2008, excuse me, as a nonprofit lender. We got our nonprofit status, federal status, in 2011, and we began lending in 2013. We were founded to do short term loans to help developers building affordable housing here in Ventura County to get those projects moving, to get that early money before they secure their permanent financing. We started with a $2 million match from the state of California. You can imagine how fun that was in 2007 and 2008, trying to raise $2 million in this county for a program that was brand new, has no track record, great concepts, great boarded directors. But thank you, thankful to many of the cities here in Ventura County early on and the county. We were able to raise that $2 million and start lending in 2013. In 2020, we saw a need for a way to preserve infill land and surplus land. To make sure that affordable housing could be built on that land in the future. And so we created the land trust, Ventura County, which is a housing land trust. Cities have donated land to us to be affordable housing in perpetuity or at least 99 years. City of Oxnard, if you know, second in B Street. In 2022, gave us a piece of property which now is completing 110 bed homeless solution center with 56 transitional apartments. City of thousand oaks in 2023 approved a piece of property at the corner. I'm so sorry I have that little tickle. At the corner of herb and hill crest and we will be doing 78 four sale, de-restricted affordable town homes, woo-hoo-hoo, for workforce housing folks that want to purchase. Let's see here. As I said, we are in short-term lender on average two to five years. We do pre-development loans for developers, whether they be for-profit or non-profit. We do acquisition of land for those developers, and then construction as well as pre-development construction. And recently because of the increase of cost of construction and interest rates going up, we're doing more bridge lending, which is helping those developers who don't have their permanent financing yet. But there's a gap now because of these extra costs. So we're doing that as well. Let's see here. Since our inception, as of the end of 24, we had raised 41, almost 42 million. Today it's now 45 million. Since 2013, and that comes from cities, the county, the state, federal government, private companies, foundations and individuals investing in the housing trust fund. Last year alone, we funded 14 million in loans, and again, these are short term loans. And in the first six months of this year, we're expected to do about 17 million. As of last week, we just funded 7.2 million. So the volume is there, it's huge. Now I just need to find all the lending capital to keep this machine moving. Of the loans that I, or the dollars that we've raised and funded, we've produced 1,780 affordable units as of last week that went up to 1898 units. Historically, we have focused our lending on developments that are focused on farm workers, veterans, youth transitioning from foster care, homeless, and extremely low income. Exciting last year, well actually in 23, we received a $5 million, if you're familiar with REAP2 grants, those were COVID money that went from the federal government to the states and the states down to the associations of government. We got one of the largest awards at 5 million. It was clawed back, early part of last year, but we fought really hard and we got it back at the end of last year. And so that will be used for what we call a 15, 16 year receipts residual loan to help our developers get tax credits. As well as a half a million of that will be going to the land trust to build capacity and staffing. We have also the old prop one, the 2018 prop one, which is a $25 million matching grant from the state of California. Last year was the last year to apply. We've currently received $14 million and we are very hopeful hopeful of receiving another 5 million in announcement here coming hopefully in the next couple of weeks. For those of you who are familiar with community impact notes, we do borrow money from our bank partners, from private companies, from individuals and foundations that a below market interest rate to use for lending capital. I'm very pleased to say that the city's initial $50,000 investment that they did, excuse me, back in, I didn't want to mind my notes here, but I think it was 2016 or 17, I think. We leveraged that to fund into two loans here and Fillmore. One is Fillmore Terrace, which is still in the works with people self-help housing and then Mountain View, which is just right down the street that's up and running and families are thoroughly living that beautiful property. That produced 122 units. And we have a couple of projects in the pipeline with developers who are looking to continue to build here in the city of Fillmore. Oh, 2018 is when the city invested 50,000 into the housing trust fund. And we're now asking for an additional 50,000 for the 2526 year and potentially another one for the 2627 year. One of the reasons we've gone to every city this year as well as the county is as you can imagine things at the federal level are getting a little dicey and not sure that we're going to be able to receive those funds and we're on the last year of the state match. So we have some other things in our works to raise lending capital, but we felt it was important to go back to all the cities. But I thank you for your time. I hope that the opportunity to see some of our properties in the future, we'd be happy to show you. And as well as I thank you in advance for considering this request for an investment into the trust fund. I think you'll find that it's been very valuable used here in this city. Happy to answer any questions if there are any. Thank you so much, Linda. Absolutely. I have a question. Yes. So is the amount that the city gives us that proportional to the population? How is that number determined? Or is it $50,000? Everybody pays $50,000. So the smaller cities we've asked for 50,000 and the bigger or more active cities that are doing more in affordable housing 100,000 or a multi-year agreement. Yeah, some cities have done already significantly more than that, but in this round that's what we're asking for. And Linda, our investment, you said happened happened back in 2018, that has been our only investment thus far into the housing trust. Yes, absolutely. Oh, and I guess, is there a distinguish between the housing trust and the land trust in terms of the investment you're looking for to some go to the housing, some go to land, or at all. Good question, good question. The housing land trust is a supporting nonprofit of the housing trust fund. The reason we did it that way is initially under that old prop one, we could match land donation. So that program is now ending last year, was the last year we can apply. So the funding we're asking for from the city is for lending capital for the housing trust fund only. Now we might get a project on the land trust side that will apply for alone from us. But the funding goes to the housing trust fund to our development partners. Yes. So question on the 50,000. So you're calling an investment, investment can be defined a lot of different ways by different people so in my Thought of an investment. I'm thinking you put in 50,000 and you get 50,000 back at the end or is this more of a It's a grant. It's a grant. We want to be perfectly clear because I don't want people to think oh the city's investing money And they're gonna get you know 52,000 back in three years or something. It's actually a grant. It is a grant and the only reason we use the term investment is because we're leveraging that money. So your $50,000, the example that we've done over $2 million into this city. We took your initial $50 and we've leveraged it by many other investors, some who do get their funds back and some who don't, the cities don't. So it is a term that we use but I can see where it can be confusing but in this case it is a grant. Okay, thank you. Yes. All right, thank you very much. Okay, thank you. Okay, thank you Linda. Okay, we're on now to agenda item number six and that's public comments and I should don't have any public comment cards in front of me. We have no public comments today. Okay. All right It's first Okay agenda item number seven now is our city council reports recommendations and comments Okay, I'll hand it over to my council members. Okay, Albertson, have it? It's okay, go right ahead. Is that important? Okay, so I'm usually the one that talks too much on this, but I figure I've got a report back what's going on over what I'm hearing from the city. So first I'd like to start with, I got a question from a constituent about a guard real that had been damaged in an accident on A street. Actually Dave Wright, he lives in my district, asked about this. He said, hey, it's what's going on with it. It looks like it hasn't been fixed in a while. And then I immediately asked what was going on to the city and the city was kind enough to come back and say, hey, we're already on it. We've got bids out. There's already, we've looked like we're going to be letting it contract. So that was actually in process. Also, I'll be attending the Cal City Cities dinner in Galita. So this is a meeting where elected officials from throughout Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties will get together to discuss what's going on with the state and legislative action. This is going to be on Friday, this is the 14th. What else? Also, I wanted to make a comment about the mills act. So if you recall, when I first got on the council, I'd asked about the mills act. So the mills act is basically a proclamation that most cities in the county have already made. And it's specifically to allow for, I believe it's a tax benefit to homeowners that have a historically significant property. So in other words, older homes probably like built in the 1930s or early or they can ask for some relief from the tax bill. And in exchange for that, the homeowner agrees to make certain improvements to that historic home that conform to historic requirements. Fortunately, Erica was kind enough to get back to me and remind me about this. And so in order for us to consider it, I would need to get other support from other members of the council to put it on the agenda. So I'd like to see if we can do that. I think it would be a benefit to our constituents that do have historic homes in Fillmore. And let's see what else. I just had a quick comment. The council packet was quite voluminous. It was 395 pages. I will honestly say I did not read all 395 pages, but it was interesting reading the parts that I did read. And what else. And I think that's it. That's it for my report. Okay. Thank you, Council Member Grinica. Just to clarify for what you're asking for, just very specifically, you're looking for Council support for. So what I'm looking for support is at least two other Council members to say they would like to put the mills act on the agenda, on a future agenda so that we can discuss the merits of it, the pros and cons. Obviously we can't discuss it at this meeting because it's not a agenda, but I'd like to put it on the agenda. Okay. So a discussion of the merits of the mills act. Yes. Okay. I'll be supportive of that. Yeah, I as well. Sorry. Okay. All right. You have your support. Okay. Thank you. Any other council member comments? I do have a comment. I just want to say thanks to the staff. I did have a few questions when reading the cover sheet or the glossary of the agenda. And as I had a question, I would go into the agenda items and my questions would be answered upon further reading. So I'm really grateful for staff for putting covering all the bases on these topics because We have some interesting talk to topics coming up. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, the staff does a great job with our staff reports. We have to say thank you for the summarizing lots of complex material in a couple of pages. We appreciate that in staff report. Okay, so I do have a couple of comments. The first is actually I'll just bring up what I was spoken about by Ms. Ron Swiser, I'm the Browns and I write in this Linda, regarding the Housing Trust Fund. I would like to bring that back up for a discussion. Not, I don't want to mention a particular monetary amount, but just to bring it back up on the agenda. Anyone? I'm supportive of that. I'm supportive of that. Okay. I have one person. Yeah, I'll be supportive of this as well. Okay, thank you. So we'll put housing and trust fund discussion on the agenda. And my other topic is the Clean Power Alliance. And I just want to turn to Tiffany to not make sure I don't give too much information here, but I do want to let our new council members know. So Tiffany, just let me know if I'm talking too much detail. So the Clean Power Alliance is a community choice aggregator. Basically it's an alternative to an investor owned utilities. It's an alternative to like, so-cale Edison or up north Pacific Gas and Electric. And this aggregation, what it is, is the clustering of local governments where geographically close to each other, cities and counties, and they form a program, and they aggregate electricity demand within their jurisdictions in order to procure electricity for their customers. It's a little bit a lot of information, but just to give you a little of what the Clean Power Alliance is. So there's like 20 or 21 of them in California. Our local one here is called Clean Power Alliance, sorry local community choice aggregator. It's. Sorry, we can't go into this level of detail. Oh, okay. Just I think if you could get the ask. Okay, all right. I wasn't I just wanted to explain what it was. Because I figured if I want to put on the agenda. Okay, going to the ask. Thank you. Okay, thank you for letting me know too. Okay, the ask is I'd like to see if I get support for agendizing this topic of clean power alliance, particularly an educational presentation, and also a consideration of funding a feasibility study done by the Clean Power Alliance to determine whether or not Philmore might potentially join. I'm supportive of that. I have any other support? I'll always support the other. Okay, so Councilmember Mayor Pro Temmendas and Councilmember Grinneke, thank you both. Okay, those two things are in the agenda. Thank you. Thank you Tiffany. Okay, and then I had one other comment, and it was just actually good information that we received today from Erika. And I wanted to thank Roxanne for all the work that you've done. We know that in Fillmore, we have a lot of backed up traffic on 126, particularly at the rush hours in the afternoons and on the weekends, especially in the summertime if people are going back and forth for the beach. Roxanne, our engineering department has been working with CalTrans and they have implemented a synchronization I want to say, or at least a timed coordination of five or four signals. So basically we're 126 meets C Street, B Street, A Street, Central Avenue, and Mountain View. So that's five. It's rainy this week, possibly next week. So you know, rain always means a little bit more traffic and things are slower. But hopefully in the next few weeks, Cal Transit is going to monitor it. And hopefully, fingers crossed, we will be seeing a change in our traffic flow during these rush hour time. So thank you to the city. Thank you Roxana, particular for your work on that. Okay. Yes, I know. I know. I should be cheering those who are or who are here watching. Okay. We'll go on now to consent calendar. Can I ask for a motion? I move we approve the consent calendar. Okay. I have the first. And the second. Okay, all those in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay, motion carries. We move on to item 9A, new business, our Creekside track, 6053, Citywell No. 8 protection agreement. Okay, thank you, Roxanne. Thank you, Mayor. Mayor Potem. I am a city engineer Roxanne Hughes. I know you all know that, but we are on camera after all. So tonight I'm here to talk to you about this well-site protection agreement. I did do a little bit of a PowerPoint here just to orient everybody what we're talking about. So in your staff report, you do have the site exhibit on looking again. I was like, I could add some more labels and fix good enough road. It's not levy drive. So to get you oriented on the left here, I weigh 126 is at the bottom. If you go all the way up C street, turns into good enough road, goes to the neighborhood, and then straight up to the end of B Street that's where Williams Homes tracked is. Our well site is the way at the north corner of the Williams Homes development where that yellow box just popped in. And then over on the right side here this is a sheet out of the grading planet sheet six. Here's top of B Street. You see in that red box. Now we're zoomed into that top corner. And sheet six of the grading plan is right here that I'm going to go to next. And our well site is pointed to right there on this sheet. So here's the grading plan sheet six. And on that orient us into the discussion here. here. So site is, you know, close proximity to a major remedial grading, mass grading site right now that will then move into precise grading and development of all the homes that we approved with the development of track 6053. When we were going through the remedial grading review and soils review, they did fault trenching, they did significant geotechnical geological work and we brought up during the plan check period hey our well is like right there it's a deep well will any of this impact our well and we have the geotechnical and the geology and then we did a third-party review with our city representatives of geotechnical and geology review everything and the geotechnical geologic geologists of the world all agreed that The little orange piece of the pie on the picture here is like a 40 foot perimeter from the well That within that 40 feet there specialized grading limited use of equipment They they basically can cut it and grade it to where they need to come down to the houses, but they can't drive heavy equipment or do any big activity within that 40 foot perimeter of the well itself. As you know, we had the water emergency where well seven went down, and this is well eight. And then we were like, oh, of depending on well eight to like keep doing its job right at the same time that they commenced grading. And so we talked to them and said, hey, we're not sleeping at night over here. We want to just be extra, extra sure that anything that you do out there isn't going to impact our well's operation. And so first it was a conversation then we talked about putting it in writing for an MOU. Williams staff and team was wonderful. They totally worked with us. We worked through the points of this agreement. And in the meantime, they state to the 100 foot perimeter around the well, which is the yellow. We went from the 40 foot, the geotech said, you're fine as long as you don't go in here to like a hundred foot buffer zone just to be like extra, extra sure. And, and there. We went from the 40-foot, the Geotech said, you're fine as long as you don't go in here to like a 100-foot buffer zone just to be like extra extra sure. And they're starting grading way down at the south end of the site and you know, we'll eventually get up to this corner of the site. Well, seven is back in production, as you know, and we're in the emergency tonight, which is wonderful news. and they have been grading outside this 100 foot perimeter. And then this agreement that's before you tonight basically says that they're going to survey the you know exactly precisely locate the well head facility and then survey it weekly whenever they're within this 100 foot buffer of the well to make sure it doesn't move because if it moves then something's wrong shouldn't move. And we're pulling the well now that well seven's back on and just getting a pre-construction video of the down well and then when they're all set and done we can video it again and make sure nothing unexpected happened to our well and they'll be reimbursing us for videoing the well before and after and they'll be performing and submitting all of the survey monitoring. They've already submitted the initial survey monitoring. Public Works Director Balomo is coordinating the pulling of the wellhead so we can video the down well. Everything's been very teamwork. They've already agreed to sign this, they've already signed and returned this agreement so that we're ready to process it. And it's a, it's a, like I say, we don't really think that building the homes is necessarily going to cause a negative impact and we did all the due diligence with the actual geotechnical people. This is just that extra layer of, oh, what if, you know, and then the MOU also says if there is any damage that they need to repair it at their own cost, no cost to the city. So I do wanna thank Public Work Director Joe Bulomo for all of his help in coordinating with this and the planning team was involved and all of the city staff coordinated really well with the Williams team to get here tonight. So that's my staff report, available for questions. Okay, thank you, Roxanne. I'm gonna have any questions. Questions? I just want to thank City staff and Williams for working together in such a vital part of our infrastructure and we need to protect it. So thank you guys for going that extra mile and doing this. Absolutely. Yeah, I agree. That's really important in the MOU. And like I for Williams tone, Williams to come to the table and be, you know, good partners and this is really great too. So kudos to them for doing that. I agree. Okay. All right. There are no questions then. I'll entertain a motion. I move that we authorize the mayor to execute the well-protection agreement between the city and the developer of pre-site tracks 6.053, Williams homes Creek site 1.31 LLC. Okay, have a motion and have a second. I second that motion. Okay, I have a first and a second. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay, motion carries. Thank you. Okay, next on our agenda item 9B, consideration of acceptance of public improvements for, let me see here, I'm sure for DP. Number 01-02, mod 4, Nova Storage Edition at 455A Street. Thank you, Roxanne. Hello, long time no see. I'm back. So this one is, I'm sure you guys know where Nova storage right up there at the top of A Street at the intersection with First Street. And this is actually the second phase of construction on back in 2018, 2019. They did their first phase and they built most of the new sidewalk along First Street in front of their storage facility and planted trades and put in streetlights. And then this is for mod 4, which is actually at that time they put in some asphalt sidewalk as a temporary sidewalk. The rest of the way to connect to the bike path that goes down by the school and then they came back and they expanded the facility again and they put in a Little driveway entrance in a parking lot and removed all the asphalt sidewalk and put in full concrete sidewalk to the end It did remove one of the palm trees But we have six palm trees and two lights that are related to this that'll that are being annexed into our lighting The property will be annexed into the lighting landscape and district. Well then, financial is working on that. You'll see that come back to you for intent meeting and public hearing and the armed developer just will need to vote yes to be formally added to assessment roles for that. So this just accepts into our public system, the new curb gutter sidewalk that was built as a part of the second phase of development just a little bit. They'll be submitting their warranty bond. We'll make sure I've already got as-built in review right now. And once the as-built are public improvement bonds that did the security until it's built and it's built and it's been inspected. It's ready for acceptance. I do also want to thank Ryan McCarty and the planning department for his cooperation work on helping me do the punch list and coordinate the landscaping with the trees and everything and so Takes village here. We are that's my report Okay, wonderful. Thank you. It's council have any questions All right, if not I'll entertain the motion too I Move that City council consider consider the acceptance of certain public improvements installed for the Nova Storage Edition Project under development permit number 01-02-04 and authorize the City Engineer to reduce the performance and payment bonds and authorize the City Engineer to accept a warranty bond hold for one year and release upon successful warranty inspection. Direct the finance director to address the balance sheet of street assets and begin depreciation in accordance with gas B34 accounting guidelines. All right, not full. Thank you. Can I have a motion a second? A second. All right, first and second. All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Okay, motion carries. Thank you. All right. Moving along. This is great work. It's done. Okay, we have item number 90. Appointment of primary and alternate delegates to the California. Oh, nope, did I move on? I'm sorry. I skipped one. That. 9C. Report to the city council regarding the emergency repairs for well number 7. And a request that the city council determine that the emergency has ended pursuant to California Public Contract Code section 22050. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Good evening, City Council. It is with great pleasure. I'm up here right now and reporting to you that everything is done with our emergency. So as a matter of background, we had our public works supervisor, Jay Kaufman, during his routine inspections of the water infrastructure come across, well, seven, making an knocking sound and it was hot to touch. So that was our first clue on January 7th that we had a problem. The same day, he coordinated with our Pumpy contractor, a general pump company to come out, take a quick look at the knocking and give us a quick assessment on, you know, what do we do at this point? Do we let it ride? Do we pull it? Is there anything that you can, you know, do to assess the situation? The recommendation came that we do pull it, make an assessment of the downhole and the equipment. March 15th, the well was removed and the evaluation phase of this project began January 1st. March, sorry. January 15th, yeah. So the delay there, when we noticed the knocking, we didn't want to take well seven down immediately, because we knew what the public capacity at well eight was and that was barely meat. That wasn't to meet and demand at that point. So we had to toggle on, we came up with a program where we had our standby crews working over the weekend, toggling on well seven, every two hours taking it, letting it rest for two hours, until our reservoir has got up to full. And then at that point, we would take seven offline and go forward with this project. So that happened on January 15th, we were at that comfortable point where we could pull well seven for the full analysis. Here you'll see, this is our, this is a snapshot of our SCADA system. The red, and I'll go back to this and explain how we're gonna approach this situation forward. So we're not caught by surprise. This has been a learning lesson for all of us in the Public Works Department on how we can prevent these things from happening. Little key tools and stuff like that that we can start looking at and making sure this is something that is, if it is preventable, that we do prevent it. So here you'll see on the seventh, we were pumping at a capacity, or a rate, a supply rate of 1,500 GPM gallons per minute. This is on the 15th, the Welk Pumping Contractor pulling the house off off of the wellhead next to it. The structure is where we keep our electrical equipment, you know, our chlorination equipment, all that sense of stuff. Behind it's covered, you can't, you'll see it in another picture, is our headworks for the well. It's all the piping and stuff that gets into our distribution system at that point. When we pulled it, this is what we found. This is deep pitting. This is an indication of, not in fear or material, it was years since we actually touched this well. So this is understandable for the type of material it was. This is an indication that you're gonna have a torque problem at some point with this kind of deep pitting like this. So this is something that we wanna try to prevent against either with the use of different type of material or pulling it more frequently and maintaining it, doing whatever maintenance we can. Joe, is that carbon steel? This is carbon steel, correct. Yeah. This is the first, the most deep part of the downpipe. This is our strainer. This is at the bottom of it is, and I have another picture of this. This is what pulls in the water. The turbine, our bowls are right above this, another section of intake pipe. As you'll see in the blowing up picture to the right here, You'll see a lot of bio solids clogging the intake. This is just like with the well shaft and the condition of the well shaft in the previous picture, these are adding to our decreased pumping capacity. And this is a picture of our turbine assembly, the top part of it. This is not gonna mean much to you until a later slide, but you'll notice the very thin wall of brass surrounding at the outer perimeter of that inlet part with a diameter structure. And here we're showing a picture of the degrading a bull skirt. This is a problem. This is adding to the inefficiency of the pump and it's causing the pump to work harder than it should. Here's that first, the deepest part of the well, the strainer part, this is what, you know, the water is sucked up into the pipe system and then pushed up through the wellhead. You'll see a lot of scale build up. This is again, further clogging of our system. This is making the pump work harder than it should. And again, this is another screen or another picture that will mean something more when we get to a later picture once you know of what we installed. But in this this this is showing how much wear has occurred. This is you know for not the faint of heart, but this is our well system. This looks very, very disturbing, but I assure you this is very, very typical of a well. is that what you're looking at is biosolids that accumulate. This is algae, just typical things, nothing that's a serious harm to our health, but to the well's health, this is very detrimental. This adds to early wear. This is clogging that system again, adding to the reduced pumping capacity, the well-working heart, the well-head, the motor working harder than it really needs to. This is an indication that we need to get in there more often and clean this stuff. And you'll see later on how it helps when we do our maintenance program as it's intended. So we're in this analytical stage where we're taking all this information that we've gathered through pulling the pump coming up with a recommendation how to move forward, working with our pumping contractor, you know, determining what is necessary. A big part of the cost on these well rehabs is if you have a failed screen. We were very fortunate we did not. So that, you know, that could have been at least another 150,000 if we had to re-line it and then associated costs with resizing the pipe in the well head. It just gets expensive if you have to re-line, replace that screen that I showed you. So we came to City Council on the 28th, January 28th, and with the request to declare an emergency for WEL7, which would free us up and move quick on the necessary pairs, that's where you all adopted Resolution 25, 40, 45. And we, the next day, signed a contract with our public contractor. And I'd like to thank the City Attorney's Office and her staff for all the quick help that we got on getting that contract in place. So, much appreciated. This is one method, this is the primary method that we use to clean our screens. What this is is a pressure, a device that we put down the downhole and it shoots out air at a very high rate, a very strong burst of air that pushes it acts like a backwash filtering system. So it pushes it out and then sucks it in in a very fast rapid action. This is what knocks down that biosolid. It's really good at the normal biosolids, but what we had was very thick and hard biosolids and this worked really well on that. This is what after the cleaning, you'll see much different than what the earlier screen had shown. This is biosolids that have grown on not the screen part, where you see most of our screen. What's indicated right here is a patch. This is actually the start of our down pipe, actually the start of our screens. So this is solid pipe, this is screen, this is where it starts. So it doesn't matter that that biosolid stayed there. It's not a screened area. And this is patch. So we, in the past, I don't know when at what point that this patch was put in, but it was a patch that repaired a broken part of the screen or a damaged part of the screen. You know, based upon the depth, I can't really apply it to anything. You know, when we do see a lot of like damaged screens where the bowls are located, where the suction happens, there might be like a little jet or a hole that happens or that occurs within the bowl from Sanding and you know causes a leak in that bowl that will actually cause a water jet to damage the screen That wasn't in this location so It had a pumping contractor and us mystified on why that patch was needed We didn't find any events of why it was needed But it's not a problem it stayed in stayed in place throughout the cleaning operation. If we did a different approach, which is a brush and bail approach where we have brushes that scrub the screens, that may have came off. So the method that our contractor selected for cleaning the screens was really good. This is new material day. So this is what makes us really happy. We're getting in there now with our new pipe and cleaned pipe from our material that we had taken out. These are our screen pipes segments and this is our bowls in turbines and then these are just typical down pipes. So this is where I was telling you you could see the difference. The thickness in the brass section versus that. It's, you know, this is, this well needed to be taken down and rehabbed. It's very apparent in this picture among the other pictures, but this is what was really telling to me that this was long overdue. And you'll see the previous picture with all the biosolids of the scale of buildup and after it's been dipped in acid and cleaned much different. And our screens, our pipe with screens have been cleaned as well during that process. So this is the cleaned pipe that you'll see that there's already one segment in with that strainer. That segment is in the down hole right now. That's the first pipe that goes in and then we have screens and then we have our turbines, our bowls, a segment that attaches on top of the screen section, the screen pipe. Above the bowls is about 750 feet of solid pipe. And the final piece of it before our well head gets installed. This was rebuilt, taken apart, rebuilt. There was a lot of issues with it. I don't have a full report of the issues that were found, but I mean, it was rebuilt. It was, it's functioning really well now. This is the post picture. It's a shorter time frame. We didn't, this was during our pumping test pumping phase. So we didn't want to leave it online for too long. We wanted to get, you know, we were pumping essentially to waste, but we'd bring it into the system to have it red, the flow red. So we're now pumping at 1800, G GPM, significant improvement. So the contract was written for, the agreement was written for $244,000, $15,000 and the final cost from the contractor came to 236, 223, 98 cents. One thing that we had to add, let me back up, we don't show it in that picture. One thing we had to add to this final cost was about $2,500 to our electrician. I passed around a piece of, yeah, this is another indication of why pulling these, the wells offline for a little bit and having to evaluate is so important. On there, you'll see that there are cracks in the coding. We are so fortunate that that didn't arc in fry the pump or cause more damage of fire. There's one of three of those size gauge wires in there. So it's a significant amount of energy that's passed through those. That, so the contractor came, our electrical contractor on a separate contract came and cut away the bad section and spliced in some new wire for us to connect to our pump. So that was an additional $2,500. So it wasn't a big expense. So this evening, we're requesting that the City Council adopt a resolution 25, 40, 50 that ends the emergency. We have an approval for staff to file the notice of completion and after the 30-day lean period to release that final payment to the contractor. And with that I happen to answer any of your questions. Okay thank you Joan. Do we have any questions? Any comments? Well done. It took a team. All of us in public works, you know We had shifts and we were there with the contractor We don't like to leave our well sites unattended even if it is you know some is under contract It's just you know our baby So we don't like to leave it unattended and we had it rotating shifts and we did a lot of weekend work making sure that the system was keeping up. Well, it kept up. You know, we were very fortunate that through some actions that we took that we were able to equal the demand with the supply that well, eight was giving us at 1200 GPM. On the seventh, we were at about 1400 GPM on and demand but we tweaked our system we took our all of our potable water green space that the city owns and maintains we took that all offline we turned all of our water off at those those green spaces and then we were fortunate to have rain come and we saw a significant dump in the demand during that time and I can only attribute it to smart irrigation controllers that the residents around town have. So, you know, brought that up and have talked to Erica about that. We're going to be pushing more advertising on that, the smart system. We have the smart system for our own irrigation controllers proposed in the coming budget It's a smart way to go and getting the residents to convert to smart irrigation controllers is only gonna help us Joe, I know last time when you came before us for the emergency declaration I'd ask the question about what can we do to prevent something like this happening in the future? And you mentioned, I believe at the time that the well had not been touched really or maintained in like 30 years. And so this is the consequence of not maintaining it. So I guess my question would be, short summary, could you tell us like how often would be recommended that we go into the well and do regular maintenance? Like the screens or the back flushing or any of that stuff? I mean I'm not looking for a whole another report just a quick summary. Well, you know I actually act that in the last city council meeting that this came up. I did promise a maintenance program and it's going to be important for us to develop that. And I'm working with the contractor to come up with a plan that you guys can see, a plan that we could use to budget appropriately in our fiscal year budgets and our five year projections. It is a very important thing. There's, we are, I think I may have misled you all at that first meeting. We do maintain these wells, but there are some long term frequency maintenance things that we do not do. Or we don't have track, I should say that, we don't have track. We wait for events like this and we should not. So one of the things I you know thank you for the reminder I wanted to go back to the slide and you know show you something that I I've realized in looking back of the day you know trying to figure out you know was there something that we could have picked up on earlier on and prevented this from being an emergency. We still would have done the same stuff. We still would have paid the same prices. That wouldn't have changed. We would have been a couple months ahead of this and we would have been in the winter, which would have been better. But this is, you know, this is the same kind of information that I saw is back as far as back as September. Actually, October is the furthest back I could get in SCADA. So this was usable data. I could get the raw numbers, which would be a little bit more difficult to analyze. But through SCADA, I was able to see this. And this. And I see fluctuations, right? That's not normal. What that is is all the wear, all the metal rubbing on metal. That shouldn't be like that. That should be more of a flat line. And I could show you what well eight, well eight was rehabbed in 2021. I could show you what that looked like today. And that's more of a straight line. So this, you know, we're learning a lot from that waving and that's escalation in that line. That's telling to us. And another big point, obviously the reduced capacity. So we know what our wells produce, you know of our well. It's under about 300 GPM at this point. So it should not be this low. And that should have been our first sign. So we've educated our staff, our field staff, when you see a reduction in supply supply, that's your first clue to come to us. So, but this, this, this osculation is a big indication to me. More importantly, when the cycle starts, when the, the well turns on, we're at a higher pumping capacity than where it ends its cycle. This is, this is a lot lower. I don't show the quantity here, but there's every reduction in about at least 150, maybe even 200 GPM. So over the start of the cycle to the end of the cycle. And we're talking about from, like, say, I think 4am to when it shuts off about 11, about 12 p.m. I have that, this is eight, I mean, 8 a.m. So I got that wrong. This looks like it's a p.m. cycle to a.m. shuts off at around 11 or 12 midnight. Something like that, I mean, afternoon. So, but yeah, let me, I'll be really quick about this because you guys wanna get on with the night. But, there are eight, that's eight's line. It stays consistent and it's on forever and it stays consistent So that that's you know difference. Yeah much big difference Okay, well, thank you. Thank you Joe again and and for all of the team for their diligence and work on this and to really Thank thank you Tiffany as well for again, turning around what we needed in terms of fixing this emergency that we had to do. This water is our precious resource that we have here in Fillmore. So, and us being our own water perv air, you know, or you know, dependent upon Joe and team to maintain it. So again, thank you for all of that. Thank you. Okay. All right, with that, I will look for a motion on this item. I move that we receive the report regarding the status of the emergency repairs for well number seven, that we ratify the contract to work to general pump company, Inc. We're amounting not to exceed $244,000, $015. For the installation of temporary rental pump and rehabilitation of well number seven. That we determine that the emergency has ended and adopt resolution 25-4050. Memorializing this determination. That we authorize staff to file the attached notice of completion and authorize the final payment to the contractor of owed retention and release on contract pending clearance of the 30-day lean period. Okay, thank you. And I'm looking for a second. Second that motion. Okay, we have a first and a second. All those in favor? Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay, motion carries. It's great. it's great that we're able to wrap this up. And that was fascinating to be able to see the insight of the well. Thank you, Joe, for all the pictures and the graphics. This is really helps to explain to us as council members and also to the public. Okay, we'll move on to now agenda item number 9D, the appointment of primary and alternate delegates to the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority Board of Directors. Thank you, Mayor. That was definitely a gnarly presentation even brought props and everything else cool. Good job, Joe. Yes, so today I'm bringing to you, Council, the appointment of a primary and a delegate to the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority Board of Directors, also known as the CJA for short. And I'm looking for staff recommends to appoint an elected official to the CJA Board of Directors as a primary delegate, and an alternate delegate that is either an elected official or a staff member. City Council members serve as an official representative to cities various intergovernmental agencies. And this happens to be one of them. The California Joint Powers Insurance Authority Board of Directors is made up of elected officials from each member agency. It is once again time for a council to point primary and delegate. The primary must be an elected official and in the past the alternate was our assistant city manager as also our risk manager but I believe you couldn't choose one to people from the council this year. And so the board of directors meet annually and their next meeting is currently scheduled for Wednesday July 23rd at the CGCJPIA's campus in La Palma and this is happening at 7 p.m. on that Wednesday and there's no fiscal impact to this as the CGPA covers all costs associated and this is only a one-day thing no Night stay or anything like that. So thank you. OK. All right. Thank you. All right. So Erica, we know that you will not get out of this one. But do I have any council members who are would like to attend this? OK. Thank you, John. OK. So we have John as primary. Anyone willing to? I'll be the altar. I'll be the altar. Thank you, Mayor Proton. Okay, great. We've got Councilmember Garnika's primary, Mayor Proton, Mendes is alternate. Thank you both. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, you know they've had a reminder of a month before so that I can plan that. Okay, reminders will be sent. Yes. Excellent. Okay, reminders will be sent yes excellent. Okay great We need a motion on that Are we okay great. I'll look for a motion on this item I Moved that we appoint an elected official to the art Council member Garnika and, Mayor Portem, Mendez, to be the primary and I'll be the alternate. Alternate. Okay. All right. Got it motion. Second. Second by Councilmember Nika. All those in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Okay, great motion carries. Thank you. All right. Okay. Now item number 9E, the review and approval of the contract for the 2025 3rd of July Community Firework Show to be provided by pyrospectaculars. Yes, thank you, Mayor. Now let's talk about fireworks. So this is for the annual third of July fireworks. So staff is presenting this staff report today to approve the appropriation of $29,000 for the 2025 third July third community fireworks show subject to approval of necessary permit from the Fillmore Unified School District and authorize the city manager to execute the agreement with pyrospectaculars. After the Fillmore Unified School District permit is approved. And so currently that is pending. There was a shift this past October where it's no longer a facility use permit. It's an actual agreement with the Fillmore Unified School District and we did already submit that and we're just waiting for it to get approved. And so the City of Fillmore has traditionally hosted a professional firework show to celebrate Independence Day on 4th of July, however due to the high demand on July 4th. Fortunately, we weren't able to find a producer that could do the fireworks on that day. But we went ahead and went with our trusted firework company, Pyros Spectaculars. And since we have already been with them, for, or they've been with us for four years, we are on the top of their list. So if anything comes opens up then they will go ahead and let us know. And they do have a $6,000 premium on that day just because it's very popular. So if we were to get that fourth of July date it would be a total of $34,000. And so- 35, 35,000. Okay, sorry, my math philmy. Yes, so they also, Pyre also let us know that they're also willing to train anybody who's interested in doing the production of this. Usually training is about two years because it's, you know, something you really want to get trained on. You can't just shoot off fireworks, but they're willing to expedite and work with community members if they're interested that way we can get the community members to do the fireworks shows for us, and we can get that forth of July every single year. And other cities have done the same as well. So if anybody's interested, please let us know, and we'll get. I see that there's interest. John Meadows and Gary, Christian in the audience. Oh, no, not Gary. Okay, just John. Okay. Thank you. Question, Arrelli. For the 29,000, so basically it's if the fourth becomes available, we're allowing ourselves through this contract to go up to 35,000 for a fourth of July day of Firework Show. Yes, so we're allocating that additional 6,000. In case we do, hopefully, fingers crossed, get that date, if not, then we'll just move forward with the 29,000. It's also my understanding understanding if we get a member of a local member of the public To be trained then we can also that will facilitate doing it on the fourth Yeah, probably this year it's probably a little too tight because of the two-year training but in the future yes So you said So you mentioned they have a long-term, or a bit of an injury. So you mentioned there were only two expedited, does that mean quicker than two years? Or is two years expedited training? So usually it's two years, but they'll expedite the training, so hopefully less than the two years. But I would assume, if I were wanting to get trained, I would want two plus here. Yeah, it's very dangerous. Yeah. I just heard about this concept recently, but if there is a way for the community to know about this dynamic, then maybe we can have some volunteers for this process. And maybe there could be some sort of a background check on these volunteers to make sure that their abstaining citizens are going to be dealing with explosives. I'm sure there's a huge background check and I'm sure we could probably do community outreach on getting community members as well. We wouldn't have to work with Pyro and then there's a so the California marshals state has to veto these operators and they have to go through all the the process for that. Just reminding also the public and the community that the reason why we ended up with the third of July show it's not because you know we waited on signing up a contract but the year of the, our previous operator actually got into some legal troubles and lost their license. And so we were put in the position right two months prior to 4th of July to scramble on trying to find an operator with a limited budget and we were able to work with Pyrospactacular and we have been working with them since the pandemic. And so every year we have been going back to them and saying, is it our turn now to have it on 4th of July? And so graciously, their board is aware of that and we're hoping that we can get that priority. However, it's a statewide situation where the operators are limited. And so that's why they came up with the idea this year on saying if you have anyone that would be volunteering or would like to go through the process, obviously it would be, you know, the community member working directly with Piro to make sure that they go through the training and they get certified, but then Piro would delegate that person to fill more so that we could have a fourth of July event. Otherwise, we're still on the waiting list Okay, all right, it's clear. Okay. Thank you. All right, there's no other questions. I'll entertain a motion I'd like to move to approve the appropriation of $29,000 for the 2025, 3rd, July 3rd community fireworks show subjects to the approval of the necessary permit from the Fillmore Unified School District. And authorize a city manager to execute the agreement with Pyro Spectacular's incorporated after the Fillmore Unified School District permit is received. Okay, thank you. I have a motion. I have a second. Okay, motion a second. All those in favor. Aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay, motion carries. Great. Well, we hope that we do have one or more volunteers. Okay, great. Okay.. Who knows? They may have a whole team, maybe. That would be really, that would be really neat actually. So I have a feeling that we're being a firework town. We'll have volunteers. Okay. Next item on the agenda is 9F. Consideration of allowing, speaking of volunteers. Consideration of allowing volunteers to assist with facility improvements at the Boys and Girls Club. Thank you Mayor, that's why I am. Okay. And so our staff recommendation today is for a council to consider the volunteer approval. for participating and improvements for it at the facility of the Boys and Girls Club. The staff requirements would be that for safety purposes and I'll delve into this a little bit more. We would require for us to always have a full time staff member overseeing the volunteer work. And then number three would be the compliance and guidelines. We have volunteers that we want to make sure that they adhere to established safety protocols. And we also want to make sure that we are following legislation and contracted requirements and prevailing wages. And so we are proposing tonight that there would be a limited amount of activities that those volunteers could potentially involve in. So as you know, just to provide you with a little bit of background, the facility that the Boys and Girls Club currently use is owned by the city of Fillmore, and it is leased to the Boys and Girls Club of the Santa Clara Valley. We have been going, undergoing, I know the facility does need a lot of work, but I will get into detail of what we have been able to do so far in the past three years, being able to appropriate ARPA funds and then general funds. And these upgrades have, in my opinion, made a huge difference of what we've been able to do. We understand there's more work to do but so far we have accomplished a pretty big amount of the punch list of items that we had. And how this came about, Council Member Brogge initiated this discussion back in January and we're bringing this forward to you tonight. And so from 2023 until 2024, actually I should say until 2025, we have been able to do the roof replacement that had a cost of $286,971.52. That was used via ARP Buffon. So it was a one time funding that we received as like the COVID relief. We also have been received approval for the window replacement that is still ongoing. That was also through ARPA funds. It was $127,191. Recently, Council approved the ceiling replacement inside of the facility. This was in February of 2025, which totaled $21,724.8. That has already been repaired. Staff will be preparing a notice of completion and the upcoming agenda. And that was used through General Funds. We also conducted an inspection with their management team at the beginning of the year. One of the concerns that were brought up was the fact that some of the windows were not securely latching. And so one of the things that we were discussing internally, and I want to thank the public work staff for acting up quickly, specifically facilities, was to come up with a relatively clever way on how we can keep the facility safe and also the kids who attend the facility. So we were able to install some ring sensors that technically they pair to their ring camera system. And so if there's a kid trying to open the window and I can particularly use the bathrooms as an example, you know, if you have someone climbing into the toilet and trying to get out of the facility then the staff would be informed by having that sensor go off. And so that was installed and we appropriated $257 out of general fund. And then thankfully we had some of the tile and stock from the facility and there was some tile replacement. That was done internally and the cost was just the overhead of $175, which took about five hours for the staff member to replace the tiles. So the proposed volunteer activities, because our volunteers are covered through our workers compensation program, we need to be really good about how we're monitoring the staff. And so this is just a consolidated list, your staff report includes a bit more detail, but I just wanted to summarize it. So it would be limited to painting and touch ups, cleaning and landscape, minor repairs, fixture and flooring. Nothing that would require a license in the state of California to make sure that we're not violating any prevailing wages or any, we don't call the attention to any unions also. And so those are the type of activities that it would be limited to. Again, our main issue is to make sure that we keep everyone safe and compliant. As I mentioned, the resolution 2317, which was attached to the staff report, does indicate that all our volunteers are covered by workers' compensation. Our work comp claim is really low right now, and we want to make sure we keep that low as well. We would be providing PPE or protective equipment to the volunteers and we would also require a full-time city supervision at all times to make sure that they're abying to the requirements. So we have a volunteer process in place. We would have that potential volunteer submit an application to the HR department. We would go through the interview and background check. The reason why we're doing a background check is because this is a facility that has children. And we need to make sure that we are vetoing any person that goes into the facility. We, our cost is $49 to do background checks. This is DOJ and FBI. And then there's also mandatory training that we would have that staff person or the staff person delegate to the volunteer. And they would go through what we have already an onboarding volunteer process, similar to what we do with the active adult center, which is similar because we have a lot of mandators that we have to follow similar to children. One of the mandator would be the child abuse preventing training. So the fiscal impact I divided it into what we have totally paid from 2023 to 2025 that's $361,733.87 that is the combined facility improvements that have happened in the facility and then the costs associated with this would be the $49 of the screening and the time that it would cost for full-time staff member to process the application and then be there with the volunteers. This does align with the community engagement goals that we will be discussing shortly. It also makes the facility maintenance improvement. And then although this is not a specific direct goal, I think it does promote the volunteer and it builds community ownership to be able to engage our community in assisting. So the next step is for council to discuss this, to let us know whether you want to move forward or not, and for us to implement it. And that concludes my presentation. Okay, thank you very much, Erica. All right, this council have any questions? Oh, no questions. Okay, no. Okay. I had questions, but I just, but my meeting with the City Manager, she answered all my questions. Some of my questions just had to do with the liability and how would we overcome that? Everything was answered, so. Take care. Okay. Great. All right. Well, yeah. I mean, I think it's, I think it's great. I'm glad that Councilmember Brogie, that carried about this forward. And thank you, Erica, for sort of just going over in detail. Assurances that this is something that's possible to do. Okay, with that, I'll entertain a motion. I move that we approve the participation of volunteers in specific facility improvement activities, approve the report of the city manager, for the Boys and Girls Club as outlined in the report. Volunteers would be required to adhere to safety requirements, undergo necessary background checks and be supervised by a full time city employee. Okay, have a motion. Have a second. All right, motion and second. All those in favor? Say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay, motion carries. Great. Thank you. Okay, next item is 9G, the City Council discussion of the goal setting workshop and adoption of goals and change of key results area to organizational values Thank you mayor. That's mine also So typically city council does a goal setting workshop every two years and it happens concurrently when election cycles happen this year we secured a contract with Tracy Miller's of TM Consultants. The workshop was held on February 22nd. We had a virtual broadcasting. So it was broadcasting on our platforms that we usually do with council meetings. I was noticed because it's subject to a brown act and we had the council chambers open throughout the day as well. So members of the public could also engage in the workshop. And it's also recorded. So if you were not able to attend it, you can go back it's on our YouTube channel and on our website as well. And so the workshop components pretty much worked in three pieces. It was number one was a closed session with the city manager's performance evaluation. Then we had a communication workshop and then the goal setting. And so it happened for the entire day. We were here till almost four o'clock. So thank you so much, City Council, for making yourself available on that day. And City staff as well. So the five top priorities that came from it, and these are our five goals that council has given us direction to move forward with, will be improve the downtown central avenue, beautification and economic development, enhanced parks and recreation facilities and programs, improved public infrastructure such as streets, paving and citywide projects, address the homelessness, we would have a county wide partnership, and now we also have a grant that will help us achieve that goal and enhance public Communication and engagement. So those are the five top priorities that council has given us as directions so that we can move forward This is a two-year cycle and so those priorities are there through 2026 There is also backup goals or future goals which is emergency preparedness, public safety for fire and police services, security resources and water management, review of the general fund reserve policy. And for transparency these goals are fluid. It's not that they're just set there and for two years we're just going to focus on that. As soon as a goal is met, I will be providing progress reports for Council and the constituents. And then at that point we could report happily that we've met a goal and then Council can have a discussion and then a backup goal or a future goal can move up to the priority goals. Obviously, there has to be also allocated for those goals, but we are pretty confident that we can within the two years meet at least the first five top ones. As you can remember for those council members that have been here, you know, longer, we used to have something called our key values and goals. And so as part of this process, I was looking at the previous goals that we had. And a lot of them were a combination of goals and values. And so I am proposing that we still continue with organizational values, which I think are important for the organization, such as making sure that we're fiscal responsible, that we have public safety, that we are environmentally being good stewardships, community center growth, that we have inclusivity and engagement, infrastructure and innovation, and of course to me having an organizational excellence is just a given, it's that we should all be practicing and you know staff is always aware about doing that. Thank you staff for always excelling to trying to be the best for the community. So if a council report doesn't meet a goal then we would fall back on the value that we're meeting. Fiscal impact is mentioned. We will work closely in the budget process right now, trying to budget forward on a lot of projects that we are working on. But the implementation of certain goals will be depending on available funding. Staff will also evaluate budget allocations, seeing grants or partnerships when possible. And we will provide a specific cost to be outlined in future budget reports when we're coming mid-year or just doing a request for funding when things come up on the agenda. So the next steps would be, like I mentioned, I would be providing regular updates at public meetings to provide you progress reports, continues community engagement and feedback, and at that time you would let me know which goals we need to adjust once those are met. So that concludes my presentation. I do want to thank again City Council for being here that long Saturday for providing us with guidance. Thank you, Tracy Miller, for putting together such a great workshop and staff also for being here and answering questions. And that concludes my presentation. All right. Thank you so much, Erica. All right, the staff, staff. Do I feel council members have any comments? Comments, suggestions. I just wanna thank Erica for putting this presentation together. Then my fellow council members, for that day, I learned a lot about each everybody individually. And I think that helped me understand their way of thinking and improve our how we work together so thank you. Wonderful yeah now I just wanted to to do that as well I thought it was really it was a really good practice I think in ourselves I've seen how as a council we can build consensus and really kind of galvanize ourselves around what our priorities are in our community. And so it was really great. It was a great exercise. And for community members who might be saying, oh, I didn't make it or I'll watch it, but I had some ideas. Well, these are the initial goals that we're setting, but please, of course, like we always say, all of us to all of our folks that we talk to, let us know your ideas, your input on all of these different goals, because like I said, it's a fluid process. So, that's important. Okay, all right, great. Well, I can see here. Is there a particular motion here? Or is it just sort of a receiving file? Okay, I think there's just a receiving file then. Okay. All right, thank you. All right. We don't need a motion. I don't believe. Is that right Tiffany? Okay. Okay. Our next item is 9-H. Consideration of the Zoning Ornance Amendment, number 24-02, and ordinance number 25-976, allowing one, but limiting non-storefront medicinal cannabis retailers to the business park zone. And two, medicinal cannabis delivery, both as requested, both as required by state law and Adopting exemption under Sikwa Hello, thank you mayor and thank you city council city of film more Thank you for the long introduction allowed me some time to get the mouse set up here. I've got I Can keep talking The medical marijuana, facilities and mobile deliveries. This is the first reading, so you're not actually adopting this ordinance tonight. You'll actually adopt it officially on the second reading. It's ordinance, it's only ordinance amendment 2402, ordinance 25976. And we are amending the Film War Municipal Code to do two primary things which is allow for non-storefront medical cannabis retailers in the business park zone and for medical cannabis delivery within the city limits. This is the business park zone as you the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of the state of Are we doing this? The state enacted Senate Bill 1186 back in 2022, and it dictated that cities cannot restrict medicinal marijuana deliveries within the city. And if you do and adopted a zone. And the state regulation also allows for the city to adopt reasonable restrictions. And those summary of what those reasonable restrictions are, characterically, are the city's. And the state regulation also allows for the city to adopt reasonable restrictions. And those summary of what those reasonable restrictions are characterized as are listed there under those bullets. So it's in closed buildings, warehouses, loading, distribution by delivery, on-site sales only. An operations plan can be required, and it can be reviewed by the police department for safety and security. So we took those and adopted specific regulations and the ordinance to oversee these. And it's a lot of words here. I apologize for that, but these are the primary sections and what it really does is four things is it allows for these because our code currently does not allow for it. So it allows it as a specific component of our ordinance. It adds in definitions for medicinal cannabis and other key terms that applicants could identify. It allows for the site as I mentioned the business park zone and it will be allowed with a conditional use permit. And it establishes the operational standards for these types of facilities. And I can go over some of those in more detail if you like, but the operational standards are basically that you have to be licensed. It's licensed by the California consumer affairs, and they would also get a city to fill more business license It restricts use of alcohol it has an onsite 24-hour contact person that's submitted to the city Various other security personnel odor control Law enforcement can enter the facility Let's see food products have to be stored per the health code, video surveillance and various other things in the operations plan. So that it's spelled out here so anybody coming in can quickly see what's going to be required and put that in their application. So there's really no surprises. We had a robust planning commission discussion on these over the months of October and again in February and they made some changes here and some of those are related to the site distancing, so some separation between what would be incompatible uses or to not load up too much in one location. So that's kind of, that was a new sentence, a paragraph that was added, subsection. And also they they asked for video surveillance to be required as part of the operations plan so that text was added as well. That pretty much covers it under the California Environmental Quality Act it's considered exempt because it does not result in a foreseeable physical change to the environment. The business park is covered under SEQUA through environmental impact report. And so construction of one of these facilities or the deliveries are basically already analyzed from an environmental standpoint for the facility. It's expected to be there. Staff's recommendation tonight is to approve this first reading, introducing ordinance 25976, amending those few more municipal code sections. Allow but limit the non-store front medicinal cannabis retailers in the BP zone, and allow medicinal cannabis delivery both as required by Senate Bill 1186, and a finding of exemption from CEQA. And I'm here to answer any questions. Okay, thank you, questions. Not so much questions, I just want to thank Brian and Kevin and the Planning Commission for their hard work on this and they did do lots of deliberations and they did make changes for it and thank you those are good changes. This is not something that the city went out and looked for. We're mandated by SB 1186 to do so I think it's a wise choice and thank you for all your hard work. Sure. And thankfully the city attorney's office keeps us surprised of state bills that are working the way through so that we don't get caught behind on some of these. We're actually early on this. So. That's great. It's good to know. Any other questions? Thank you, Brian. Thank you for the presentation. I did have a questions, slash comment here on page three on the report on the agenda where it says SB 1186 allows for the city to adopt an enforced reasonable regulations related to on number four, it says imposing or collecting applicable state or local taxes on retail sales of medical, sorry, medicinal cannabis occurring within the city. Does the city have any kind of flexibility or leeway on what those taxes might be? Because there are going to be constituents who are most likely are not going to be happy about this. However, as we mentioned before, this is a state mandate that we're ahead of the curve on. But how do we maximize or can we maximize any kind of potential tax revenue from this development? We could look at that. I know some of the other cities in the county have tried to implement a tax and it wasn't very well organized and it's hard to tell whether it actually reaped any sort of tax benefit to this. But I believe under actual, if it's a medical distribution or medical card, we can't tax it, is that right? Yeah, there's two things there. First, we did the council maybe 10 years ago put to the voters, whether to adopt a tax or not, and it very narrowly fails, but that's what's required to oppose the taxes, voter approval of the constituents. But Brian is right, medicinal uses are typically exempt from taxes. Thank you. And then just clear, this is solely both in the physical building that will house the cannabis and the delivery's medicinal odds or events. Okay. Yes. Okay. I had a question. I'm going to have to do my time. Oh, regarding, thank you very much, also planning commission for the changes that were made. The 600 feet within a park. Does that change then? Is there like a little carve out of the business, the business park zone for a cross from two rivers park that board this facility couldn't be housed. Yeah, if you extended a 600 foot line from the boundary of the park, it would get you up to about, I would say within 100 feet of the north boundary, so you could locate locate one of these along the along the highway in that section and then anywhere as you go west away from that corner. You measure 600 feet from from the westernmost boundary of that corner so it would limit it. It would limit it right across the side. On the side. Yeah, because of the six-centrifie from the park. That's good. Yeah. That's great. And then another question. And I'm sorry if this is included in this, I'll report and I didn't see it. But is there signage on a facility is sub? Well, as long as they conform with whatever the city regulations are regarding signage. Can there be any signage with any kind of forms regarding cannabis, that sort of thing? The signage? Can there be any signage with any kind of words regarding cannabis, that sort of thing? The signage would just fall into our general sign and general sign. General signs. So sure if there was anything that we do regarding limiting it, but then what's being adopted here? Yeah, there wasn't any thought to that, to limit what type of words actually be included on the sign sign Businesses have a free speech right though. You would have to have a compelling state interest and and not allowing signage. I don't know that that way okay Thank you for that. I just want to ask a question this came to my mind idea Okay, yeah, we just regulate maybe the size and the size of the letters and the location But we don't tell them what specifically what, what words can be. Okay. To piggyback off that question, I may not be able to limit what kind of logo? Are we able to limit any kind of phrasing? Because being on the 126 on the way into film war, literally the beginning of of town is it the representation that we want for a city to be as soon as somebody enters film war that one of the first signs they may see regards marijuana. Yeah, again, I think that may be a free speech issue. Yeah, that would be a free speech issue, but is there a way to further revise the map where they could be so that they couldn't be along the 126? Yeah, we could increase the restriction so that you're not fronting 126 or maybe that signs don't front 126 and they have to be located kind of on the interior. I mean, it's non-store front, so it's not supposed to draw in everyday traffic coming by. So a sign like that wouldn't do them any good anyway, because it's just, it's medical deliveries to a home. So nobody's coming out shopping for this kind of thing. I'd be surprised if they were advertising, a marijuana leave or something like that. So we can look at some more standards like that if you'd like and bring it back. Well, but I don't think we could treat this type of business different than other type of businesses. That's why I was thinking if you get them off 126, then they're just not visible if that's your concern. But we couldn't say only for this type of business you can't have signs on that side of your building. Thank you guys. Okay. Okay, something. Yes, I'll be delaying to consider Okay, any other questions? Okay, all right Thank you. Thank you Brian. All right With that I will entertain emotion on this agenda item And also we have to read, it is the first reading of the ordinance. We have to read in full page 112. one-tall. I like to move that the City Council, I'm sorry, I don't know where to begin here. Prove and then read the title of the ordinance. I moved to approve the title. I'm sorry. An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Fillmore, California. I'm ending Fillmore Municipal Code sections 6, 0.04, 0.123, 6.04.16, comma 6.4.010, and 7.4, 0.0, 0.6.04.16, 6.4.010 and 7.40.0. So 0, 4, 0, sorry sorry I just want to laugh because it's just a lot of to allow non-store front medical medicinal cannabis retailers in the business park zone and medicinal cannabis delivery within the city limits as required by state law repealing urgency ordinance 24-961 and 24-971 and finding of Sequa exemptions Thank you. I have a motion in a second. All right. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay. Motion carries. Thank you. I know that's a lot of numbers. Okay. Moving along in our agenda. We are now on item 9J, consideration of approval of a contract with Kimley Horn to implement the city's housing element programs and accompanying environmental review. Thank you mayor, city council, city feel more. We as you may recall the housing element was conditionally certified by the state back in September. And there are programs within the housing element that must be implemented before it's deemed fully compliant. And two of those items require an effort to re-zone the land and to amend the text of the zoning ordinance. And Kimley Horne was the contractor on preparing the housing element. And so given the short notice from the state to do these re-zones and zone text amendments, Kimmy Horne was a natural to slide into preparing the mapping and the inventories and keeping it rolling through. So we did roll through that work and they're mostly complete with their scope of work, but we were operating under the presumption that the previous contract could be extended. But due to a technicality within that contract, it's really expired. So we're just kind of coming back and doing the after the fact that people work to re-amend, to restate the contract and continue working going to continue working from there. So that's kind of where we're at. And the amendment would add an additional $31,900 to the expenses under the general plan update contract. And that's, so city staff's recommendation is to approve the, approve the appropriation of the 31,000 from the general fund and approve amended and restated contract services agreement with Kim Lee Horne to add specific new services related to housing element implementation as set forth an exhibit a of the agreement and authorize the mayor to execute the agreement All right. Thank you. Does council have any questions? Okay, I just had a comment and thank you, Brian, for and Kevin, for your work on this. And this is really important to have Kimmy Horne as our consultant as you move forward with these two particular housing programs on Highway 126, right? The housing overlay and the creating of the residential medium high in order to, I guess, officially, officially certify the housing element and move forward. So thank you. Thank you again for your work. Thank you. Okay. All right. I'll introduce you to the motion. I move that City Council approved an appropriation amount of $31,900 from the General of Fund Reserves to fund the cost of this project and approve amended and restated contract services agreement with Kimberly Horn to add specific new services related to housing, element implementation, asset fourth and exhibit eight of the agreement and authorize the mayor to execute the agreement. Okay, have a motion to have a second. Second. Okay, first and second, all those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay, motion carries, thank you. Okay, last item on our new business is item 9J. andation of approval of the County of Ventura Senior Nutrition Program Service Contracts Wenders for use by the City of Fillmore Senior Nutrition Program. I'm eating Deborah. Thank you. Oh, good evening, Council members. Mayor Vies Senor,'m Deborah Cavalato, Finance Director. Item 9J has staff recommending the following to be approved. Approved the utilization of five existing Ventura County Board Supervisor approved vendors for the Older Americans Act Nutrition Program for the City's Senior Nutrition Program. And authorized the city's city manager to make payments to these vendors using already budget funds for the city's nutrition program and enter into the any agreement necessary to facilitate the continued use these vendors through June 30th, 2025, subject to city attorney approval. So the city of filmer provides services under the senior nutrition program, or S&P, which is part of the federal government, the older Americans nutrition program, Title III C, the Ventura County area on the aging monitors and ministers, the funding for the program. Among the goals is to provide high quality nutritional balance meals to persons 60 years or older through conjugate meals and home delivered meals. The cities operations are located at the city's of Adult Center and it's run by City staff. In June 18, 2024, the county Ventura Public, sorry, sorry about that, county Ventura Board of Supervisors approved the S&P contract for services between the county and the city of Fillmore. In addition, they approved various vendor contracts to provide services that meet the requirements of S&P. These include Jurdonos Food Service, Revolution Foods, Waters Edge, Waterside Restaurant and Azul. Also, the senior nutrition program has grant funding that does help cover a portion of the costs associated with the program. These contracts allow the city to supply and food at the contractor price and it ends on June 30th, 20th, 25th with the option to extend or to renew. The county has informed the city that they and others of enter cities as well, that they're no longer be providing the account payable services that they do. Therefore, Philmore will perform accounts payable duties for the city's food services. When the grant funding has been met and then will be responsible for the payment going forward. Well, the Philmore's allocation has been spent and therefore on February 25, 2025 we had a bidier budget adjustment required requested for fund 304 which was approved by the city council of which approximately 50,000 of that will go towards the additional costs associated with the food. Staff time relating to the Council Pay All process will be absorbed of the current process, but we will be visited to ensure that it is not hindering other operations. City staff is also currently assessing whether the contracting process with vendors for the next fiscal year include exploring whether to continue to use these vendors or seek other vendors as well. The county does not restrict us to use these vendors. However, we would have to go out to request for reposal and then the venture or county would then have to review it so that it does provide the senior nutrition requirements of the program. As of right now, using the contracts here, the advantage is that the county has already obtained favorable pricing with the terms of the vendors. And of course, them going with, as the county and other cities, it was a larger scale, so they had a very stronger arm in the negotiating section. This meets the City Council's goals for fiscal management, organizational excellence, and community engagement, and communications. Now, the alternatives also are do not approve the use of these existing contracts, and provide alternative directions to the staff. This ends my presentation, available for questions. Okay, thank you. Sure. So on the pricing, do we know if those vendors will honor the pricing that they're going to check? Yes. In the contracts, I do believe we did add the contracts, yes, we did for the attachments. It'll do say, it does say there that we are allowed to order it and get the meals at the contracted price. And therefore it's also with the county what they did was the whole RFP and therefore it will continue until the RFP expires in the four years as a total contract. Okay, thank you. Any other questions? Yes, my question has to do with, I didn't notice it, but I didn't read it really carefully. Did the contract have any adjustment for costs, like inflation or cost of living adjustments? No, that if I correctly not aware of, it was a strict. Okay. All right, okay. Well, I mean, I think that, you know, maintain our senior nutrition program here and the filmer is really important. So we need, and as you mentioned ever that it's you know that we already have those vendors they're approved and we have you know the cost is locked in but I think it's yeah I think it's important. Okay well I'll entertain a motion on this item. So I move that the city council approved the utilization of five existing Ventura County Board of Suffrage approved vendors with the Old Americans Act nutrition program for the city's senior nutrition program operations as listed and authorize the city's city manager to make payments to those vendors using already budgeted funds for the city's senior nutrition program and to enter any agreements necessary to facilitate the continued use of these vendors through June 30th 2025 subject to the city attorney's approval. Okay great. I have a motion to have a second. My second that motion. Okay I have a first and second all those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay motion carries. Thank you. Okay that brings us to the end of our business agenda items. Now we have any outstanding committee commission or board reports from council members. All right. See none. We'll move on to our city manager report. Thank you mayor. You provided the update on the 126 Signals so I'll mark that off. It's still a thunder. I wanted to thank all the coaches and referees and community members who volunteered for this past basketball youth recreation program Thank also those who joined us a week ago. We had a post Postseason meeting just to to hear what work what didn't, and we'll make sure to be taking that under consideration for the next season. So thank you so much. We could have not done it without your help. So I just want to thank you for doing that. Also remind the public that if you want to continue to stay informed, we do have on our website something called Notify Me. There's a five minute YouTube video on our YouTube page that walks you through and you can sign up. You can decide on whether you want to be informed via text message or email, but every single time that we have a press release or a news flash published on the website, it sends you a text message or an email. It also provides you with the ability of signing up for job notifications. So if we publish a job, then you can just get the text message as well. Stay tuned. I will be starting in April. City manager's coffee in the morning. Day to be determined. I'm planning on putting out a little video out there for the community too. I hope to have many of the residents come and meet me and myself meet them. And we're just open here to hear suggestions and be able to see what your priorities are also. So that will be happening next month if everything goes as planned. And the last thing I wanted to inform the public as we council had a request of us to be providing regular updates on our homelessness situation. Thank you, Captain Malagan for putting that together at the next meeting. We will be having a homeless liaison unit providing an update and so that will be happening on the 25th and that's all I have for you tonight. All right, great, thank you. Okay, at this point in time we are going to move into our closed session. We have two items in our closed session. The first is a conference with legal counsel anticipated litigation. The city council will conduct a closed session pursuant to government code sections 54956.9D2, because there's significant exposure to litigation in two cases. And also conference with real property negotiator, the city council will conduct a closed session pursuant to government code section 54956.8 to enable the city council the City Council The city's real property negotiators, the city manager, the city attorney will seek direction from the city council regarding the price and terms for this property. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank Okay, thank you. Okay, we are back from closed session. The council was updated on those two items previously mentioned and there is no reportable action. So that brings us now to our adjournment and I will officially adjourn the meeting at 907 and until our next regular scheduled meeting at 6.30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25th here at City Hall. Thank you.
