What's President Bell? You have Anthony Selazar, who is our director of Indian Operations, who's going to share with us a little bit of an update about all the work that's in the place on the corner of the, you know, on the school. Good evening. Good evening, Mayor Tom Chavez, Council members. Good evening. Board of Presidents, Mr. Bell, members of the Board and Dr. William. Tonight I will give you a brief work, extensive, whatever you'd like to update on the stadium project. So where we are today, to date, we take a look at some of the photos. We have all of our foundations or all of our underground utilities, all new, about sewer, sewer, power has all been completed. Our turf is scheduled to be completed this month. We have our first lit of all of our block or building set and footings for our teachers and tracks related for this week is what, or for this month, I'm sorry. Schedule and timeline, we started this project in the summer with a very aggressive timeline, try to get this project done about a year's time. With our 2025 graduation as our first milestone, So we started down moment June, like I just mentioned, all of our utilities and all of our major infrastructures down and completed. We have started our muskled for our nighting this month. We are also starting a lot of our foundation work for our bleachachers to be completed this month again with our goal of graduation 2025 and being shortly after that we are on target to complete this day, I will be able to buy full ball season or 2025 full ball season, including baseball and tennis sports, shortly thereafter. I will see them, including baseball and tennis courts. I'll show you that after. What was this project in town? This is really just a full athletics renovation or a stadium project. Trying to pay a lot of tribute to green tribute to their Tennessee roots green and gold and really trying to color coordinate a lot of what's going out there. Replacing all of our, for the most part, original infrastructure and components of the Seaheim. So on bleachers, lighting, on the scoreboard and marquees, full on video wall is slated for the stadium. We also are moving up our tennis courts up there to the stadium complex and trying to centralize all of our sports and athletics programs. We have four new tennis sports scheduled to be installed up on the complex, new baseball field, arts and baseball field, new turf on the baseball field. We're trying to centralize all of our concessions and rescue buildings to serve all of our programs and athletics. We are also adding a locker room or visiting team rooms, up on the stadium, really trying to centralize everything up to the north. We also have new track and field events. We have a shop put area, a hammer and a drill area, new jumping events, and then we also increased our track size to include another leap. What we're really trying to do is kind of compete with some of the neighboring cities and then bring some of those needs down the Temple City and offer an operative community, just a better experience to all of our athletics. I'm going to go to the bathroom. that is. I'm going to make a little bit of the dough. I'm going to make a little bit of the dough. I'm going to make a little bit of the dough. I'm going to put the water in the pot. I'm going to put a very special thank you to Mr. Jan Basing and some of the energy you've seen there are Patrick Bauer. I'm quite Mr. Jan Basing. Thank you for your time and any questions? Okay. So before we open up for questions, just a couple of things I've acted at. So as we do this project, you know, our heartfelt thanks goes out to our community members. We would now be able to do this project in the next program. We'll see the first floor of the webinar. We have a guest. That's Not all of the proceeds from the bond are going towards. This project could also be a re-examation front and a receipt for the state. Well, not all of the proceeds from the bottom of going towards. This project could also be a re-examation front in the city of the state. They allowed us to be able to do this. We took this project on with a very aggressive timeline to get it done. In order to host graduation, some of our students were missed out on our wish of New York Stadium. and we're tired. And the more rain we get, the tighter we get with this project. And I know because you guys are also doing some work, you understand that sometimes the architects take some liberties with their renderings. I think it's important for the most part to look right what we shared with you. We actually had a change of keeping. We saw them resolve the two different colors on the track links. We're going to do a single color on the track. And really the reason is that for cost. This project is pushing $140 million dollars. It is a huge project that we're taking on. But in particular, we're adding, you know, there's classroom and the classroom back there in the greenhouse, which centralizes everything for all of our sports, with the exception of our aquatics and those that take place in the gym. But everything else will be out in that area. Our last part of this project, we're chance to be sharing this soft wall project. And the reason why it's closer to the end is because as we were doing this week, we kept adding to the scope of what we wanted to make sure that we included as much through the plastic. But money is going to be the ultimate determining factor on whether or not we can complete everything that we have put forth. So right now we are confident that we will be able to complete everything that we have, but it is tight. So hopefully we won't have any perceived changes. We continue to follow it. We hope that it's something that our entire community will be proud of. So with that, pass the hand to the other questions you've got. Thank you. Does council have any questions? I was just wondering where the snack bar was. So the snack bar will be its change location from the east side of the stadium. It will be now on the west side of the stadium. It will be on the other end of the track centralized to our restaurants and the bus. Okay. Okay, great. Great facility. I'm just curious. Are there any thoughts of opening up part of the complex for the public to use? I mean it's a great running track. Can people come and run at night? Say? Yes. So that is a good question. We actually have our value to talk about. There's a couple of things that we have to obviously consider with opening up our facilities. First one, being safety students. So during the school day, it probably will not be possible to go to the local and local community use. But there are some possibilities on early morning, after school, and possibly on the weekends. But one of the things that we have to figure out as a district and as a board is how do we protect the investment of what we have? And it is, like I said, it is a big investment in what we have. And so, you know, as long as we can have an understanding where you are to take care of the facilities, I don't force any problems with it. I would love it if we could use it. But we do have to make sure that we have some safe concerns there and protect the investment. Thank you. Is seating capacity going to be larger than what was there before or is about the same? It will be larger. Larger? Yeah, I see the capacity grows by about 1000. Okay. And you mentioned a field house. Is that going to be storage for equipment or is it going to be like dressing rooms for maybe the football team or how is that going to be used? It is geared more towards a locker room, not sports specific, but we've been in our minute house for a range sport, not a full spring sport, but a full spring sport. And so as we've been in our minute house for a range sport, not a full spring sport, but a full spring sport. And so as we've been in our minute house for a range work. Not everybody would be able to take advantage of it. So it makes sense. And so I think everybody will have the opportunity to take part in it. I don't feel like some mention that one of the things we're doing in some of them may be interested. But Mr. Bell has ploddered in work fundraising campaign that we're doing, and so we are actually selling some bricks that we're going to be placing at the front of the home entrance of the stadium. We're going to probably do this in phases. We have designed it so that there are sections of the concrete and future that are taking off to build the papers that can be put in personalized data. And so we could have went and tried to do all of them at once but I really do feel it's important for the leadership to come and want to take part in this process and so we have plenty of space for future use as well. Yeah, I think I can recall St. Luke's doing something similar when they were doing raising money for the hall and they put bricks but they kept space open so that future generations could purchase them as well and it's been a pretty good project. So I had another question. I forgot what it was now. Thank you, Anne Circuit, but anyone else any other questions? Council, let's go ahead. So again, first of all, great job Dr. Kudem, Mr. Salazar and the whole team. I saw some of the drone video on Temple City Photos.com that Mr. Jan Basingham posted with the Not just the ones that we saw today, but as it looks As the construction were going on so I think the communities definitely excited as a little league dad I'm particularly excited about baseball I know our mayor also have a long dedicated service and Baseball but not only that but serving as a district 18 official for all the little leagues around the area. So there's a question here. Get into it. So with regards to the softball and baseball and soccer as well, I think much of the activity has been moved to the JV field or I think across the street at Oak Avenue. I just wanted to see if there's the district had any plans or vision as to what other possibilities are with regards to Oak Avenue or the JV field. And by the way, I'll buy a brick too. So the JV field is scheduled to get converted to the softball and really trying to take part in centralization. So moving softball up there, they can take part of the field houses, the restrooms and concessions. All of that that comes with it. We really try to be mindful on how we're designing these fields so that we don't cut ourselves off with fencing. Soap all tends to have a shorter distance of porch. So you know allowing us to have a little offensive is still keep that open area for other sports such as Soap Ball or Van. Because there is that that Jamie field is a. I also just wanted to point out a couple of things that the things with power programs that we didn't have to talk about. And one of them is our sports medicine classrooms that were included there. We were really excited about that. This is a very popular program. And now they'll have a brand new space for that program. And then also, you know, thinking about our traditions and our history. We have, you know, ways that we're capturing, you know, that history in these memorial towers. I don't know how to make you want to talk about that. Yeah, they're in the slide. There are eight, I believe, Memorial Tower slash time capsule walks. So keeping that opportunity to go ahead and capture future programs, past programs, memorializing them on these Dr. Cruz vision. And this was really trying to give our students and our community more of a college field out in the stadium. So you're going to see a lot of that break that we have encompassed around around the site. Break and block and a lot less chain leap out there. And one of those items was the Memorial Walls, full brick Memorial Walls with Air Dispoor or plaques and in time capsules. one's our tour. We're probably looking at a couple weeks because I don't want us to compete in them. No, of course not. No, thank you. Thank you. We're under some really, really fine timeline right now where it can be done by graduation. And so I'm thinking in a couple weeks we should be able to get out there and take you guys to. And then one other thing I wanted to mention, next year we will be starting the most blackboard. Oh. Okay. So that's the first, it's the first for us and there'll be, unfortunately, also a ball sport. We were hoping it would be a spring sport. But there's some political pieces here. Obviously the NFL is very involved with spearheading Black football and so they were playing for it to come inside. It was the other season, which is why it took fall sport. We already had a very large number of young employees who would like to take part. I think over 40 signed up already and that's including students from the local and B transfer. So we're excited to see that. So our fields are going to be plenty of years. Right. Another part of the stand with the expansion of the seating is also the ADA compliant with special. part of the, the stand with the expansion of the seating is also the A.E. compliant with special seating areas for handicapped visitors and at the top of the home side there's going be a press box which is great for an answer. We're not going to have to find more. So if everything is going to be a big, compliant for our visitors who need. Great. Come on. A couple of things. The idea is really to be safe if you are in the amount of technology that we're incorporating out there, and you the possibilities that we kind of show in community and have the kids experience. Dr. Koon of the community myself spent a great deal of time in research and fields, technology practice, that they might offer really to the four students, the best that is out there in the years. It of that is that press box that we are getting out there. Trying to partner with all of the stakeholders here in the district that may be able to utilize the tools that we will be giving them. It's kind of one of the goals that we're trying to achieve. Yeah, very exciting. I looks like a few is striped for football. Would it also be striped for soccer as well? Yes, it's also striped for soccer as well. Okay, you know what, it's funny. I know I love the self-site transmitter right now. Actually on a county site we've been getting some complaint about self-signal not being well. Would you be locating new self-site transmitter on the lighting pole? So, if you're starting to batten, let's see what we want. For either starting their temporary site construction visit. So, so be sure to answer that directly. No, everyone. So, we want to drive this car in their temporary cycle construction visit. So, to be sure that directly, no, it will not be on the leg pole. And the reason being is we had given a rise in the opportunity to give us some drawings, what it would look like on the pole if you went to aSA for approval, it did not get us that those drawings. And so we did not stop our project to wait for the drawings to come in. So now they have a temporary sign that they're going to be correcting, I think, over the weekend. and we have talked to them about options for a more permanent site. Within our grounds, but it's just a matter of whether or not they can bring them up to code for us to work there. Yeah, because I was hearing that some races were complaining about their signals not being, not doing this well. It was definitely been a lot to signal. I got to meet with that. That's self-tower without a commission in the past. When was it obvious? Yeah. And they are just now erecting their temporary. And I believe you can correct me if I'm wrong right now. That was a crude once thought for them to do that. So it's really in their hands. We haven't put up any roadblocks for them. Great. All right. Okay. Good. Thank you. Thank you very much, Joe. So, I for a train on that information with our city council and all the other general public. Nice to meet you. I have a deep inter discussion right on an update from the city of Pepple City. And then I'll start off there. Okay. Yes, go ahead, please. Thank you, board member Bell and members of the council members of the board. We have the fun item for tonight's discussion. E-bike safety and awareness to keep everybody away. But we know across the county and everywhere, actually in the state, E-bikeikes and e-bikes say if you're becoming a real challenge from an enforcement standpoint and more importantly what we can enforce. So Jose Maya, our public safety supervisor, along with our special assignment deputy Randall and Chandler here, we have been having a more extensive dialogue with the school district about the real challenges that we have with e-bikes and what we can do. So but thanks to the school district we've been having some more direct dialogue with them about some of the issues that we have with the motor vehicle code in terms of what can be enforced and what can be enforced but also to some of the challenges. So with that mayor and we remember, Chair Bell, I'll turn it over to Mr. Miley. Thank you Mr. Cook. The council board. So as what you've said, there's a little challenge in estimations when it comes to e-vide and mic safety. Moreover, if you, the age of the riders continues to stay down there longer, then something that we have to do is to do this duration. And what does that mean to you? The rest is providing education to people who and more to provide the rest of the same issues that are happening in the use of the virus. But I'd be going to take you by the time I was with through some of the types of devices that have been used. But understanding the types of devices, this is where the challenge is. The responsibility of types of ebikes. As they're, the food around us is very hard for anybody, which is a legal off-right, ebikes versus what's not, how fast they're going, how the cars can be realized. Well, I want to to consider the opening in terms of large amounts and how this goes to state, I don't know how you do that. So the purchase is held in state. And you might be as a bicycle with operatives, tellers and electric motors that under 700 is what? It has been maximum, even from the5 miles per hour. Must imply that it's been three possibilities. eBay manufacturers, after 2017, are now required to do the labeling that started to get now right on the frame. So, we might, we'll eventually help move forward to the other way down by the types of events. But, you guys can picture in terms of the different types of advice. So the three possibilities of the advice are the type one, two, and three. So we have our standard advice board, which in and of and operate, you know, that doesn't have no no motor on that, you know, no age restrictions, and just for personal and other age of 18 to use and have a problem. A type 1 e-bite is held, operates, so pedal systems. It's the only way at the end of the motor is going to engage on this type of e-bite is if someone is pedaling and they're going to generate the assist with the motor in order to get that. And the type 1 type of maximum is going to get a 20-mouse rod. Again, no minimum adquirement, no license requirement, no license that can be it. And again, the operator is under the aduate team, they are required to wear a type 2. And even if you pedal, operate it, or the rod is operated, so the more it can be engaged, simply by being able to throw. And therefore, at that, the type 2s, they do go up to 20 miles an hour. The way each apartment on that, the driver's license and the license plate, and again, they're under 18, that you can help help. Type III, we're also a pedal assistant. So this is not a pedal, this is the fastest one of the regular classified B-bytes that we have. Can go up to 20 miles per hour, and again, the operator does have the pedal in order for the load to be gained, and it gets up to speed up to 20 miles more. This one does have an end of your party, so you would be 16 years or older to operate. No guard requests, no guard requests, but I think that's just one of the required elements. Here, the orders of our state, the operator should have the helmet. And then we'll use two programs, which is separate types of things them all together. Basically, two white skulls that don't have a petal, we have now unauthorized devices such as the chronic dirt bites that are out there that can be used. And some of these go history is about 50-60 mile an hour depending. So So those are the few with challenges in terms of reviews, identify that and can understand what type of feedback is out there. Especially, like I said, there's a few things that are really hard to get that understanding. So, he might probably be most of the same type of rules as usual, but let me just say that they must have a lot of rules, all post-sign, they are allowed in true by then in the roadways, 10 runs is not allowed on the device, so you know, you're all from that. So that's definitely a concern, and again, writer to the English, or the the part of the book. Well, this is where resources can be collected. This is some of the actions that our arguments can take in terms of addressing some of the issues in the use of e-mites. But if you are bald, you need to challenge the people how to add down these types of, these best of all, how they can go. So, we want to be very conscious of how we're going to go forward in trying to address this issue. And in talking with, like, who now, that we, we feel that the best course of action to get into the study. So, given the ongoing issues, there are kinds of students, apparently educated on key bi-preservation. Currently, all the safety team has always started a process in deep operating this information as part of our neighborhood of Washington. Our team is collaborating further with the schools to create information apply to the team that we, The most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the most beautiful thing about this is the with a lot of feedback. Our team is collaborating further with the schools to create an information supplier between the team that means there is a free training course that is available to the CHP that will actually generate a certificate of accomplishment and for the user that goes through that. Just to provide awareness, just to provide that level of knowledge in terms of what it takes to operate one of these devices on the roadway. But having that free trade force level, so if you're meeting, you think it's a good thing to have the right to have the right to go to the sirens. But this one, through the public safety team, you know, will work and offer a high-conferential practices, if you have an issue, and we can come around and we can identify different types of advice and for all that we're interested in, I think, about way to make them or where the type of advice that they use by chance and not. Also, attendance such as popular, physical, and that's one night all of these local places are very useful. So, with that. Thank you, Jose. One of the things that we'll be doing as well along, obviously with the education, efforts, and tandem, and in partnership with the school district, some of the things you see related to the, what the vehicle code allows us to do from an enforcement standpoint, we are going to take a more aggressive stance in enforcing that. I've seen it myself on Temple City Boulevard, some people writing in tandem. So the things that are easily identified in terms of the vehicle code and what is allowed from an enforcement standpoint, that we are going to be more aggressive with. On top of that, educating our community, as Hozebe has mentioned, and partnership with the school district is going to be the other key element of that. It is a phenomenon that is happening everywhere and with a sense of false security with many people who ride these e-bikes because 28 miles an hour is still a very fast level of speed to be going in any major thoroughfare or any part of the community and the redways throughout the city. One of the other things we'll be looking to do is from not just an enforcement, not just ticketing standpoint, but we're asking our team and the patrol deputies as well. If you see somebody who looks under 18, as long as you're doing it, the phone is doing it legally and everything else to just educate the community and the community members about wearing a helmet as well. So that's part of our efforts and we are here for any questions that either the council or the board may have. I have a question. Is it prohibited for these bikes to be riding on this sidewalk? Yes, there's a whole lot of you have on the railway and all of the stuff. So that's like an actual road. Yes. Okay. That's good. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That's the same. I've seen parents giving their kids rights, um, that's usually that more of a scooter type of thing is that in the same category. Is it making your child to school under motorcycle or something? Well, the only, the only accrued, um, that you can add to, in fact, the spascura, like what it is not allowed to have kind of light, even though it does have, you know, the, um, how long it takes to play for, you know, bored and work with the hood, the things of the seven that, but it's not intended for them. Um, e-buy schools or advice schools that have to have anything, like a child's the CP, that you see on, any other cyclist in the house of your fixed device. I mean, I prefer to be a sensitive exercise. I do agree that we do need to find better ways to educate our community, our families, and the students and health care. I understand some faculty members have had the habit of doing this, or have helped her, and so I don't really understand necessarily all this because we need laws that we have here. So they're here to protect them, to make things happen. And I agree I agree that that's a big part of the issue is that there's an agitation of whether the regulations are in the present measure of any of these legal laws. If I may, I'll call for the other. Yes. OK. The class that's offered by the CHDBG that is there for that? No talk about it all online. One of the things that I was going to do is in the development of the flyer to have a QR code on this flyer where the kids are apparent to the staff for the movement directly to that code to that class. And there you go, it breaks it all down. So what is the operation and what they can do in order to bring that arrangements in again? And being able to pull through that force and give us a certificate to show that it's completed. So you can go to the office and we'll understand what it is. Okay, any questions, council? I have a question actually for for the school district. Do you know how approximately with a percentage use of kids riding e-bikes and do you from your point of view see that as an issue because I drive to work every morning and more than a few times I see e-bikes and I presume especially on Temple St. Boeck Park they're coming to school. They try and I'll run cars so because they go pretty fast. So I just is curious what this school district view of e-bikes. So I don't know the percentage when I will say that it increases consistently as far as the neighborhood bikes that are now electronic. And I will also say, just like when foam prefers to introduce, right, it was a high school thing. And I've become a junior high now. Now, elementary school, the writers are getting over it. And so my fear is that somebody is going to get hurt. I shock that there are no requirements for age requirements, and that there's no real safety requirements for students to be able to operate these electronic vehicles. It is definitely something that I want to say thank you to Mr. Maya, Deputy Archando, for sharing with us the information as they receive it. And it's difficult as it is for them to identify what is legal and what is not legal. You can imagine how difficult it is for my administration to be able to force a lot of my trips coming on to the campus. And I will say it as an hindsight it sounds like we should have known this. But anything that doesn't have pebbles is not allowed on the campus. And so that is something we can enforce because this legalist should not be anybody who has these blocks that they have for health. That is just the law of existence. So it is definitely a concern that we have. I'm just going to review something that we are looking forward to educating our parents on because I really do feel like a lot of our parents don't know either. And they buy these for their students because everybody has them. And this is what they're able to do. Yes. So I think the more education we can do, the better off would be part of the government's work. I'll thank you for this. I'll thank you for your hard work. As well. I'm very happy to hear that you're saying any bikes with a paddle are not allowed. Did I hear that correctly? Yes, so we do have a duty to, our first possible pair actually to perform the ball. So at the time when they school and they come to school and they get a pass. And so if they operate at something that is not legal for them, operating. We have a duty to make sure that he's taking care of or addressed. And so we will be doing that. And that's something that we can be so important with our school administrators as they're looking at our microactual, whatever, and just flagging those pieces that are out of the law on school maps. Yeah, I think that's half the battle there because I was hearing it was a throttle type of e-bike that's giving us the most problem. Okay, question. I just want to piggyback on Dr. Kuhn at this point regarding how difficult it is to tell the different types of e-bikes around even in law for them. It's very difficult to look at a bike what it is. I know it is surprising me when I went to the Sheriff Reserve Academy that I all of a sudden realized there are all these Temple City high school alumni's. I think it's probably the green and gold that motivated them to become Sheriff's deputies. But I do have a pretty good cheater that I have shared with our team. But it's law enforcement only so I'll share with those members here at this table. It's actually authored by a Temple City alum, Brandon Cardella, the cousin of a detective cardella, here at Temple Station, their Temple City high school alumns. It's complete with photographs, the types of bicycles and what the laws are. But it is confusing for law enforcement as well. So I applaud the team and the schools for taking a proactive step towards it. Yes, go ahead. So earlier you were talking about enforcement. So can you tell us more specifically what that actually entails? Like if you or anyone from the sheriff's side were to enforce this, what does that actually mean for someone writing tandem or otherwise? Inforcing what, specifically from the Sheriff's Farm in the specificity on the roadway. So. Right, so is it like a citation? Is there a fine? Or how does that translate to minors? Good, man. So basically, we have discretion. We can educate initially as with even tickets, right? If we pull the car over from speeding, we don't have to give the ticket. You have discretion all the way up to the misdemeanor level. Anything above the misdemeanor level doesn't matter no more discretion. but none of what we're talking about today would qualify for that, just kind of giving us a baseline. In terms specifically to your question, yes, we can educate if we were to stop a bike or some type of vehicle violation. We could cite, and then that did, but also depend. We are able to tell them. So there's a lot of things we can do. I think the point here today is to try to collaborate together and figure out how far you guys want us to go because we can go all the way up to towing these off-street mainly in the condensation in the toe piece, pay the vehicle fees to get those out, etc. No, that could on top of the fine itself, which let's say it was for running a stop sign. As a bicycleist, you're so required to all of those rules of the road. That's a $400 ticket for tow of bees from the station to $150 a believe in a temple city plus the tow yard itself is $200. You're talking about $5,000. If we wanted to go back far and so the cuts. Okay, all right, let me stop you there. Are you asking us to give you guys the authority to do that? Okay, so here's my question to you. You see a kid 16 year old riding down the street, runs a red light, no helmet, and you think, well, that's illegal. You pull them over. What are you going to do? We decide. Well, you can't want to decide him and then take that. You're not going to allow him to get on that bike and keep riding the school, are you? One of the things we're going to be doing from a law enforcement standpoint with the Sheriff's Department, too, is working with the school district to identify problematic potentially individuals or others for the person who's doing that and you know again from a law enforcement standpoint our Sheriff's Department do have that level discretion and they make those decisions all the time. I think at a certain level we have not towed yet but I think there will be, after we do some level of education, or unless we see a absolutely dangerous hazardous condition. Okay, well that's what I just described. So what's the answer to that? In that case, I would hope that the Sheriff's Department would in fact, so that- Are we in fact ticketing anybody at this point? Yeah, not ticketing anybody yet on any bike. At the moment, we're doing our very best to educate. Right now, we would not like a 16-year-old kid to go through all of that and have a bird find trouble. However, we do not have a problem doing any of that. So at one point do we stop educating and start enforcing the law? And I don't know, I don't think you should be answering this or I can't say this is not a city. This is a sheriff enforcement issue. And I think the sheriff should not be taking the cue from us as a city of what we need to do. It kind of reminds me of the problem we're having with the high school and people not obeying the laws. And we educate, we tell them you can't do that, but they keep doing it. And so at one point we're going to start giving tickets to these people I mean If I may I just want to say I think our team does a great job at the same time We we're declaring this kind of a epidemic if you hold it. Well, it's not gonna get any better. It doesn't seem to me right so This team and as well as all our patrol deputies need to know that are the council as well as the city supports with strong enforcement action and that while they can take individual cases discretion that's fully within the deputies ability and reasoning and oftentimes they weigh that into consideration but I think we can express a strong desire for more proactive and stronger enforcement and that we would support such action up to and including towing such vehicles and then in the city being able to support the team and the deputies that make those decisions that there's no consequences because it's something that both the school district and the city have declared a problem. Who gets the ticket? The youth or the parent? The youth would be named on that to it and I was kind of some happy with stepping that somewhere. But the youth, whomever operating at vehicles, it seems to me that, and I'm looking also from a liability standpoint, if, if, if let's say one of our sheriff deputies pulls over someone who's riding an e-bike and again has no helmet on, and it sounds like what we're doing now is we're simply we may we may be pulling him over and say look you need to have a helmet on. And then we've educated him but presumably he gets back on his bike and goes to wherever he's going to be going. We don't we don't take the bike away from him or anything like that at this point At least we haven't done that yet Mm-hmm So what I'm saying is if he if he goes on and let's say gets in an accident and is killed, guess who the parents are going to sue. Correct. We collectively want force to understand that. However, as has been said, we take all of these things on the case by case basis, whether it's a 16 year old person who ran our life for 40 year old adult who did all the running away. We choose our special moments of resources, whether we want to enforce that person or not or whatever reason that individual that pure officer makes in that individual specific moment. We understand we're taking that liability moment and that's sort of a choice that anyone in this profession takes. Whenever we make one of those thoughts. So to avoid that liability, it's not an lesson to do this, but the only way to avoid the liability was to knock me at the top of the first place. I would be, do it, knowing what that end result could be. Same with someone without a license. I let them drop away, again they crash again liability on me. Each individual person though doesn't necessarily need to be reminded of their legal responsibilities with a $500 fund. Some people, we feel, in that moment, were educated enough just by the stop itself. And so that's kind of how we address those issues in the moment. can't speak to a future stop, but that's kind of how we look at them. Deputy, when you pull over someone who doesn't have a seat belt on and they're under 16, doesn't the parent get that ticket? Because the parents responsible in the car, but there is no responsible for that bike of personal operating the bike. So you couldn't use the same argument for the e-bike the parent pretty much has purchased it. Correct, but the person who has actually, I take that back, the person who's not not wearing a spug me an example, not the virus. So the child gets to take it from him? I was the person who is not. So if you were with your seat belt and sort of put your passenger with no seat belt, and I hold that car over for that reason, Mr. Cook would you consider you have to do? See, I have that situation happened to me and my son blatantly was, and we were just going to CVS and I was arguing, he was very young and he was not going to put that seatbelt on. And I needed to get to CVS and from my house, you know, the whole thing was an argument and I got pulled over and you said, you're going to get the ticket because you didn't enforce the seat belt while. I don't recall what happened because I did go to court in the deputy building floor. So I didn't have to pay for the ticket, but I recall it's telling you it's your responsibility. And no matter how much I said, listen, I've been arguing with him. He said, your responsibility. I'm sorry, Mike. I'm sorry. Ultimately, it's the end of the day for a person who has a lot of cloned. So they get the ticket and then the judge will decide whether or not I pay the fine because he has no resources at 14. That's exactly yes. Okay. I would ask, I'm sorry, go ahead. Let me do it real quick. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Let me do it real quick. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. but maybe there is some bill or something because most of these problems that we're having, I think, have to be addressed at a higher level. Because here we're more enforcement, but we can only enforce what laws we have. And it doesn't appear that those are going to be sufficient or not clear enough to allow you as a police officer to really do your job. So and this is something that we can talk to our representatives and stuff to see if there's something in the legislature or maybe there should be something in the legislature moving forward. No problem. All right, thank you. Go ahead. Councilor, remember, a man had a question. This is maybe more of an open-ended question for all of us. I think a lot of, I guess the question is, do we actually keep track of, or metrics of, say, number of times you'd have to stop someone on a e-bike, or any kind of incident related to that? My sense is that a lot lot of points were bringing to the table to discussion our anecdotal, like we saw this, they saw that. What are those numbers associated with? Similarly to how on a monthly basis as Deputy on Chondo Knows, we have our meeting with the team and our captain. And we get numbers of the number of tickets that the city and the shares have done on any given month. Is this a metric that is being tracked or is that not part of current practice? Right. You might, my patients or just general, just have everything. I mean, you've pulled over and the citations, I will never review. But citations, I don't believe, are tracked because they were just all under the general vehicle code violations. So we would get a total number of citations written, but not specifically for even bikes. So we wrote that number of citations. That one. When you pull someone over and don't cite them but educate them, do you keep track? I think that's what you were asking. Do you take his name and address and information so that as as a city manager cook mentioned earlier, we may not get to this point until we know that there's a repeat offender out there. How do we know that? So anytime that we make an enforcement stop, we do get every their first name, last name and birth date. And then we were required at state law to fill out a form documenting that stuff. And so within that form asks a lot of questions, but generally, yes, we do track that. So we were required to list the reason for the stuff and what we did in that stop, whether we issued a warning or a citation, etc. for arrest and stuff. And do you have access to that? So let's say two weeks later you pull a little Johnny over and you say, well, was little Johnny ever pulled over before? Do you have that information at hand? No, no, but I believe our supervisors have access, but Mr. Mayor, I have to double check. I can't get that answer for you. I do know that me, I get to level my jump, but our supervisors will go over all of that point. And if there's corrections and stuff, we have to edit those instructions and errors. So I believe they may be able to get back to you with an actual act. No, I took it. Thank you. This kind of a suggestion for all of us here in this room is maybe we can do a, we can simultaneously do the collaboration on educating families and students while also maybe buttoning down our understanding of how I heard the endemic or endemic, at the epidemic, not pandemic. That it's an epidemic, right? So to me, an epidemic implies that there is a very high number of music incidents occurring. To me what will be helpful to understand maybe from the school side is are you able to approximately keep track of how many students are coming to school on these vehicles? Because then we'd have a kind of comparative way of looking at the situation on whole. And if we do have say, are able to identify who these students are, then I think that education becomes more targeted, and I think that becomes more effective. Because part of it is that when you send out these broad messages, a lot of times it doesn't land where we intend it to to land and it just kind of gets lost into this void of information they reached that all of us are inundated with on social media, email, whatever it may be. So that's one suggestion and I'll finish on one other point is I think language access is kind of a subtext that we need to consider in In one of our previous meetings with I believe it was at the with the sheriff's meeting was trying to outreach to maybe the some of the Chinese newspapers. What I would actually like to see us collectively view and I don't know if it's possible is to enter what I call the WeChat sphere, which I myself, even I'm kind of afraid to get into that sphere because it's kind of like a black hole. But what I do know is if you can get in, if you can get a flyer or a message into one of those parent groups, I guarantee you it's going to circulate. I guarantee you it's going to circulate. It's is a matter of, I don't have access to it. I'm just aware of it. And I'm kind of afraid to add myself to it because the moment they find out who I am, guess what happens to my inbox. So, but I think there's effective ways that we can kind of collaboratively get that message out there, but the key is, how do we target it specifically to the people that need it? Yes, I agree with you. And see if something we can craft already that's a little easier for us to track. The number of students that we might be not talked about, I think, just from my own, that we're talking about getting these, particularly that one graphic, which is, I think, very easily translated into languages for post-excerning where we actually have our so that the messaging is going to the students who are writing these e-mikes. And then we also talked about, I think it was much to say this, what happened during the winter holidays where our sheriffs were giving these courtesy notices to people and vehicles that, you know, in the lead things, in their vehicles, or leave them on block, and just have a good one. And he says, I'm talking about doing something similar that we could attach to a bike itself that has a QR code to the stage. We've seen a graphic that shows some of the requirements of what that is. Just a little bit more. I don't think that in the very roundup, you know, you've got to be right. There's like, here's information, here's the QR code, having that info in the window too. You know, you've got to divide. There's like, here's information, and here's the cure code. So having that, you don't have to be living with it, too. I'm sorry, it's not enough time for you to hide. It's been a very much seven days a week. I've been doing this for years. In the last few years, I've seen a significant increase in the number of e-bikes that we've all called them motorized obstacles. And it can be very honest, this is not a problem. I've never, ever seen a child who has one of those bikes pulled over by an officer or anybody else. And I've also walked around the market and started with the round and look fine. Here's a pretty significant number of these invite surveyors, a person you would call. Parked outside over here, parked outside by the lunch shelter, and it's huge. I wonder, do we have authority? Is it cool district or do we invite the sheriff to come in or if they have authority? And we simply, if we have a invite, that we know it's still a little have on school campus, just place a lock in and make the child do it. Go on to that. And we simply, if we have a bike that we know it still is, it will have on a school campus, and we just place a lock in and make the child who's going to answer that, come to the office and that's up and take responsibility, whatever that might be. I mean, I think the smaller we could be doing, I really think. Yes, that is actually part of our plan as well. We take our figures on this, let on this, about 60, a couple of hours in the club, I got to share that. Probably should have known that something was going on without a couple of blackout tickets. We really didn't know that until now, we have to be at the office. There is some easy-to-be-middle to 60. There is some easy-. Uh, it'm too happy subject. I'm starting to park in open space. I'm not sure what we'll provide. A concise and brief overview of what we've done. But this is a little bit of background. In the mid-2000s, the County Los Angeles performed a assessment of all the cities, all eight cities in LA County. And they either be park four or park rich, and they're on a scale. We're, per short mile, we're considered a park. We are still considered a park for community. That is in title list to some funding that's been not available to us in the past, but we, the council has made a considerable effort in the last few years to make not only improvements new park space with Cremor Park, and we'll talk about Serrano Park in just a minute, but also to do an advanced thing, our existing park space. We'll talk about some of the new playgrounds we have and everything else. So Adam will go over some current and future plans and some of the photos you're going to see today as well. We'll our courtesy of Temple City Photos and Jerry Jan Beasing as well. So with us, okay, I'll turn it over to Mr. Matsumoto. Pickable. Pickable. Thank you for having me here tonight. Thank you both for joining us today. Thank you for attending to the tonight. And I say council members and same manager, same manager, by the way. So we've been fortunate to have a lot of open space projects on our calendar and we'll be some tasks going forward, so this is a highlight of some of the projects that we might as our media or our coverage. We just held our first set of people all to admit that past weekend at our new course that we're opening last March, I will park. We have created our playground for the next couple of years. We are in progress with the live-home park playground renovation. And then we have two new projects that have been created. We have a open-based project at Sino, and that's 500, so we know that's the most out-of-the-west portion of Temple City. And then at 90, 50 lost teams, where we have both recently been approved to move forward with a heart project without location, and that's at the corner of Lost Team, since we're at that. for our level park that of the World Part of just as a brief overview, we received a lot of community and put about wanting access to this facility. We piloted a program. That pilot program was very successful. We worked for our city council to then approve low conversion of one tennis court before the fall court. We have to check that we actually have three sports in one court, but we're actually going to have a total, and I will argue, because for additional courts, we'll be completed in the middle of this year. This is a picture of the original court of the first hours we've completed in March of 2004. The company first went on project and placed the signal that was in the other patient and in the other over 20 years. So we have a community outreach response workshop. We received over 300 responses provided feedback on the type of playground. We would like to see as improvements. We replaced the playground and also didn't have some on our picnic shelter. And then added the last eight foot fruit to the north. So this is the rendering of the playground. We had our groundbreaking march last year, instruction, and then our grander thing and our food pictures are at the end of the honestly. And when we were at our plastic art, you probably told them that they come from the most old art. So, taking that concept plan and turning it into reality, we feel like we have a free food. We were really excited about that. Our level of art is way around. Again, it was a 20 plus 0 step around our space game really, really improved it. And by a lot of our community members, we were reminiscing about the old rocket that was our level part. This is our largest playground by far. It's at four reference per row's part. This is going to be five times larger than the playground itself. So we're going to be a showcase playground. I'm not going to write the first half of these, but I'm regionally as well. We've got a variety of different play components. One of the things that we're proud of today is we're going to have a one off shade structure design and fully cut and the playbinders help with the safety service. We're looking at having that completed in the end of this year. Again, concept of the rendering. We have a groundbreaking event last summer. These are our progress pictures of the site. You'll see great and beautiful and conditions for the shoe structure., right on the gray structures in the photos. And then you'll see that's like on the surface right now. We're excited about this. The picture is, I think it's a fantastic being at first, because it's a competitive level, just this scale and the field that you get. So we're excited about it and that is an amenity for our residents or students in Temple City. Our next target that we're currently working on is the Swing Space Project. As the manager, Cook, had alluded to, we are a high-part need community. We started the demolition of that existing structure. And we're working with a great and we're waiting for the nine-servants to really ground the project that you just saw. We did receive county funding for this project so we have a few $2,000 allocated from the alley county measure funding source and this really was an opportunity that City Council took advantage of. There was a price property at $5.03. So, Rehaw, it was very strategically located at the corner of that really made sense to create open space in an area that has a highest need in temple cities. So, I'll work by the library. In terms of location, you can see the yellow circles that portion of where the property is located in a temple city. And this is just that corner lot that I had described. Really, if any other property I've had this lot, what is up there purchased, we wouldn't have taken advantage of it because it wouldn't have made sense to do it. So it was just a fortunate time for the city to be able to take advantage of that. And then finally we have the Happy 50s savings project. This project was a former site of the old timber commerce as well as the Temple to the Library, Fresh Library, while they were doing their renovation back there. and many locations. We're at the top of the city of the delivery, fresh library, while the region, the location back there, main location, so we're in the opposite of the other than our previous or our previous, but it's actually pretty much vision and reflect that's how people look like. And we're looking at having that potentially start in summer and then we'll start the construction of the band in 2006. Again, just a map so you can locate where that project is going to be done except lost in this in Sultana. This is a overhead of that location. And we did some preliminary vision board concept ideas for the projects. So this was that Vision Board that presented to our city council. And that's the reason why they really wanted to push board with the art specific, art and playground specific projects. So you'll see some of these design elements as used as inspiration as we go through the actual process of design, or also a teaming community input as part of the project. And that concludes my staff report. I would like to mention just from my funny sound point. I think that dropped off my presentation. But all these projects were funded from a variety of outside sources. So, whether it's for Alicamian Measure A, this date and Prop 60, and federal funding, who really were able to access those funds so we could utilize non-temple city revenues to fund these projects, which means we're're even going to those funds towards other projects. So we're really, really able to invest in our, I don't know where I can construct our open space and just general amenities for our residents. Look at that, that concludes my presentation, and I can't send you questions. The Board of Education, on the Council, we have. Okay is the shame of building this now? That building is coming down then. It is. So the City Council reviewed four different design options. The building itself is just not a great public facility as it stands right now. So to be able to try to maintain that and use it was really not in the best interest of utilizing the funding for that position. It will be for New Togony. This is Chris. It's Chris Williams. My last one of your deaf persons, though I'm a part of the policy interested in my life. I'm interested in going to work with the Coenac City Rocketship Command. Will you have swings for little ones that work? Yes, we will. So because of the food parenthesis, the size of that location, we are, and we would add a lot of different play components and do it have both regular swings as well as the four event and wonder. I thought the city for trying to get a smet park space into the city is I know what on I'mas and the volcanoes a lot of apartments in that area. They're not very close to a park. And that would be a great place to keep a commitment to the city to see a green space nightclub in the city for it for thinking of using the ever properties you can to increase your current. Yeah, likewise. I think we all concur with that. That, you know, I look here for quite some years. And even as a kid, you know, the parts that we have at Live Oak and Temple City were so critical for our weekends and the things that we come together as families and community and it's I'd like to commend you know, Mr. Wantomoto, Mr. Cook and our city council for continuing that effort to find more green spaces, green spaces is so important for our balance in our communities. And thank you for all that work. It's exciting and we're certainly looking forward to the development of these two new sites. So thank you. You know what I'm saying? Okay. I'll just say it's a dream come true for that's what we're going to do. I think that's what we're going to do. I think that's what we're going to do. I think that's what we're going to do. I think that's what we're going to do. I think that's what we're going to do. I think that's what we're going to ad. I don't want to ask him. You know what? You know what? It's not like it makes you utilize more than we think. So that's something we can take a look at. We can actually, we can actually have our subrecration permission as another image and item have one of our future meetings. But do you, because we now have them now in our hands. I'm going to turn it over. Until about two weeks ago, I had no idea that we had a Gaga Ball facility or courted live or part. Can you tell us all what it is and who uses it? And where it is? Yes. For those out of our, I don't know where, actually, myself had to go through a little bit of the education process. One of our personal regression commissioners, you know, had very strong interest in and played cargo ball. But by the law, I think the party best is right. It's kind of like when you're sure of what dogs fall in in a closed space. But you kind of bouncy that ball. It does it in the hand. A person that they're out, but it's a very fast space getting that turns over so you get a lot of group play and dynamic, but recently it's played within and enclosed area usually it's I believe it's an octagon enclosure or hexagon. Is that what we have in live old park? Is it live old park? It's looking at right next to the playground area and the large picnic shelter. So it's in the shaded area and there's trees. It's not a very unobtrusive cord. It's probably only about three feet high. It's made out of wood and it has a solid playing surface. It's a brush, it's not dirty, but for others it could be cement or DG, something like that nature. But really you would bring your own ball to that port and you'd get a game going and you'd just start playing. So we have general public use of it. We also utilize it for our use sports program. We kind of have like a summer camp sports camp that will use it for our camp programs. We'll take our new pal there and that part of just the camp for us. Do you hear it's about this? Do who plays it? Adults are kids. All ages, but for us it's mostly used better plan the commissioner that had brought it brought that item to us they played as adults as well too kind of reminds me of that movie dodgeball with uh... who's in that movie? Ben Stiller, yeah Okay, I was,. I was in hard hope. Interesting. Kagawa. May me just go ahead. Just want to make a general comment. Not a formal request, but I think that the unified school district being the biggest landlord in Tamil city and has a lot of playground and other public, I mean other amenities that public can use. I think maybe we can look at potential projects in the future, whereby some of the playgrounds in sports facilities that the school district may own, and perhaps we can work together as a city, as a district, to perhaps open up some of those to community use, like we said multiple times, we are a park poor community, but whether it's the school district or the city, we're both serving the same constituents. I was very happy and that's why earlier I asked a question, would this district consider opening up these sports complex for public use at times, you know, when it's not interfering because I don't know if Arcadia still does not, but back in the days when I still run, I used to run a lot in their running tracks at night at the Arcadia High School. And it would be great to see that could be joint projects between us and they can further benefit the community. And kind of a follow up to that at the privilege of attending this past weekend, the 60th anniversary of the Temple City High School Performing Arts is a fantastic event. It was coincided with their production of anything goes at the San Gabriel Civic. And I brought up again in art. I wasn't trying to up, I wasn't trying to, to still your thunder, okay. And I did not intend that it was all on you, but I thought how nice would it be one of these days to, and we're talking about joint projects now, to have our own performing arts center, whether it be on the campus or somewhere in the city that this fantastic program could grow and use in addition to having others. I know Donna knows that Dwardy did a similar type of joint project with the city of Dwardy and Dwardy High School, I believe, isn't it? City paid for it, so that's okay. We can put our thoughts together. There's got to be consideration on both sides, of course. Maybe the land and then the building. But it just brought to mind that, you know, certainly the focus is on parks and sports, which is all great because, you know, certainly our community can do it, but to have such a project, I think, would benefit not only the schools, but also the city as well. So maybe that's something on the horizon that we can certainly talk about moving forward. So, thank you. Okay. All right. Okay. So I did move to item three, which is Mary Ford on the status on our joint use. We're chair and mayor. Go ahead. Real quick, I have some motor state at the podium. We reengaged almost a year and a half ago with a joint use agreement between both the school district and the city, which has allowed us to provide some of the programs that we provide, provided pre-pandemic and actually expand some of those. So we found this has been a very successful. We've heard some of the comments tonight as well to look at other chances of collaboration and but we will be bringing back to our council and I believe in the my colleague superintendent will be bringing back to the board extending that joint use agreement as well going forward and this much money when we give up brief So we sure absolutely so women Working in formation with this The Both The children does end I think both parties, both the city and school district. The term goes in and the end of May of this year. We express interest to the school district and the district that we might extend that agreement. I think maybe even potentially expansion for some of the uses, but for the city, what I can speak to is it's been a huge benefit for our club program, which operated at the elementary school sites as well as our youth basketball program as well. We have utilized a four district facilities, our people cities got talent, program, and for the city we've provided space for for these redistricted individual schools that industry are parties at part locations and you know we're actually looking at essentially a city in helping out with a adult school program as well now so I wanted to be pour this new district, but I definitely pretty much did a very, a phenomenal partnership and getting which I think is better than that. And we both worked with them. Yeah, I would be very proud to have shared it. And we think it's good beneficial as well. Here's a few things that obviously we had written in the onset that we might change. For instance, we don't use light open-out board. We'll unpack or I'll just down the actual open-out board. But the effect of the longer days in there and it's something that's in our FTTA as every year. I'm going to have to take that out of the house. I'm going to have to take that honor of the day is in there and it's something that Mark VT has every year. And now that Mark is in line, I mean, I'm going to check the second language class for our committee members during this program today. The hardest part for us is we can't go into our sites because it's difficult to find a space that we're not coming with students with adults. So reaching out to Adam and Steve in the place that we can host something through the city. I think we can add some more. That's that we're here for any questions. Well, couple. I know I also want to thank the school district. When I attended school here, I remember taking classes at Pasadena City College, Real Hano College, another community college as part of the, well, the mandatory compulsory education. I got to enjoy taking those classes and got quite a bit of college credit when I enter college. So I understand from our PCC trustee that represents the area that there is a partnership with the schools to provide PCC classes on campus. So it does not fall in the city school partnership, but we appreciate you offering that a minute or that service to our residents and our students. There is potential, I think I've asked the city manager to look at a vacant, it's a private property right now. That would be adjacent to the Oak Avenue sports area. I think you're far more visionary than we are sometimes with the pickleball courts that are in the back over there. And I almost, I'm only probably a council member of that, did not get an applause when the pickleball group came to talk about the conversion of the Library of Park Court because I'm almost. At the tournament yesterday, I had your photo on the fence with the darts. It's deservedly so because I was almost ready to vote no because I feel like you know there's a lot of possibility where Oak Avenue or the school district and could provide that to a community used that could well benefit both the community and likewise perhaps we can benefit the school district by providing access, security as well as other forms of assistance because of the one time use and the creativity of this council that I just joined back in March. They were able to leverage outside dollars to build a number of parks and I hope we're not done, we can continue to move forward. So I just wanted to put that on the record to see if they will be interested in a discussion about Oak Avenue, the sports facilities there, and also a private residence at 9089 Emperor Avenue, where I've been instructed the city manager to look into the possibility of some type of a project where we can provide community use to access. Board have any serve our students. There are other comments in that. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Next up on agenda is communications between the city and school district? Board of Chair Bell and Mayor Chavez, do you mind if we combine C&B real quick together? They're kind of the same. I don't mind. Thank you so much. Generally speaking, and I'll turn to my colleague really quickly, we have great communication with the school district. Art has no problem, and I have no problem calling art on a moment's notice, weekend, whatever it may be. Our most recent wind event and the tragedy that happened in Althadena is one indication of that. We've got a tree down on one of the schools that was going to be very complex for us to address and working with Superintendent Cuna was great. So on a day-to-day basis, our communication is outstanding. One of the things we'll improve on our side on the city side is making sure Council is aware because our Council loves coming to school district events and enjoys being there. So we'll do a little bit better job of trying to put and then necessarily not for lack of a term a kind of a master calendar for us so that we're insured of when events are happening and we'll make sure that we strengthen that communication on the staff level to make sure that everybody is on the is aware of some of the upcoming events and activities of the district is having and vice versa for our for your colleagues as the as the school board about the events of the city as well. I don't know, we do publicize that, but just making sure that that's there. But I don't know if anything, my colleague. Is that... No, I think communication has been outstanding. I think more we continue to try to improve. And it's the hardest part is really when it comes to safety, compared to school sites, whether it be, you know, there's a helicopter flying abroad or something that we need to go on lockdown or whatnot. You know, so how does it, it's difficult to, who do you call? I don't know what to do. We don't always have the information that is to replace nearest. But Brian is very quick to respond whenever I call him. So, I appreciate it. We will look towards again a more, at least on the city side, a better basket for all the school events as well. So it's on everybody's radar. Caesar Chavez day tomorrow at temper. I was invited for obvious reasons. Air cabbage. We've covered both those areas. Thanks about it at our standing committee meetings. And we can share that, of course. We can do it that way as well. Share with the rest of the council. But it's close, it looks like, right? Pretty much finished or? It's surprising to me that it's taken as long as it has. Really, It doesn't seem that long, maybe. But it is probably something that you will have a open house for our parents and students that are going to be there, but also to community. Then we'll be around the black centers, the black center that will probably take place in the group, and we'll invite you to that. There's a good portion of work that's going to be taking place over Spring Break, which is next week. And you'll see that the asphalt in the parking lot has been re-reduced. The slurred of extracting will be re-reduced in the RRK, fancy walking club. All hopefully over the Spring Break. And then it will be completed at that point in time. The only thing that we have outstanding in the Marit is a 500-thing is we go in place and we're working with the water company, the same sort of thing. And the app placement for where they're going to be putting that, it'll be probably the alleyway back there. It's just off the side adjacent to our property. And so, yeah, hopefully within a couple weeks, the project should be funding up and we'll invite you to the open house. Thank you. Thank you. Any other comments? Vincent? Yes. I think if we could, I'd like to see that at our next meeting or the one beyond that that we work on collaboration with emergency preparedness just in light of the recent fires and it's been sometimes since the city has engaged in those activities, but just to collaborate somewhat. So if we could put that on the agenda, I appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you. Moving on to public comment. And there is our public. The first one is, I forgot. The East-Ike presentation. I know that the school district and the city at times have put on bike rodeos. But maybe it's nec rodeo and pole which is appropriate and it's a high school and there and be kind of a fun event and kind of make the kids aware of what's required and that type of thing. Number two is I excited about high-voltage part, playground opening and I would would hope that high school graduates and astronaut Steve Lindsay would attend, and just want to make sure that that's on the radar and that he would be here for the rocket ship, grand opening at High Book Park, so that would be great. The last thing is, I was excited about Anthony's presentation tonight, and this is the first that I'm hearing that there's going to be video on the board. I thought it was kind of big and black and empty space, but I didn't realize it was a video board, so are we going to be state of the art in any other schools in Tickney area? Is that at this kind of technology? Where are it? Great, I was in my dream bond. It's the replay. Did Jerry just run? Does Ron sell e-bikes? Yes. I wonder if that might be an area where we could help get him to and list some help. He's done that before but I mean as a source of sending out information through his shop, maybe provide him some information or that he can give to whoever purchases one That would be a good start probably. Maybe that would be something. Yeah in motion. We have to go ahead and we'll start this way and we'll go through the way. Yes. Well, first of all, I want to thank, especially Brian and Art for putting together this meeting. This is something that I know we've been trying to do for years. Literally, I think it's been nine years. Oh my God. Hey. Hey. Oh, well. Yeah. Loved it. So, either way, it's been a long time. And so, I'm hoping that maybe we can do these more frequently because I think we've accomplished a lot tonight but at the very least we send a message to this community that both of our governing boards are willing to work together for the betterment of the community and I think that's a real important message to send out. So thank you very much for the meeting tonight, and I look forward to one thing to like you and me. Yeah, echo what the average Georgino just mentioned. I was thinking about this ever since we planned this meeting. Whatever the district, whatever we do, it's benefiting our students. What are you doing? It's benefiting, maybe, and but working together. It's benefiting everybody in this community. We both have the same feeling that we want. People to be involved. Now we can't involve in our schools. And that's reflected also in how many people become involved in city activities. We have a very high-volunteer rate in both cases. So I think we're more than free, cooperate and work together as a district and as a city. It can just add to servicing the community as a whole. Thank you, but I'm Brian, I'll get to that for a radio. That's tonight, and you know, we have a small crowd here. I'm sure those people will see it on Jerry's website, And they'll see that there is an cooperation going in. We're not working against each other. I have the same sentiment as my fellow members here in terms of the benefits of collaborating. But that said, I also wanted to say that, you know, appreciate even just the friendship on robbery that we have between our organizations. We see each other at events. We have a very good relationship formally and informally and we would just like to continue to develop that. And I agree with Member Georgino, maybe once a year, or twice, violently, something would come together and talk about what's top of mind. So thank you for the partnership. Yeah, no. Man, a few words. Well, yes, likewise. I think that it's very clear that all of us here in this room, not just those of us that are sitting behind the table here, are truly best of in our community in all sorts of ways. And then our ultimate goal collectively is to watch and ensure that our city, our schools, our community in general continue to thrive. And we're all doing our part. As I felt, more members have said, this is such a nice opportunity to be able to have this dialogue. I know we haven't had one in person in eight years, according to Mr. Kim and Mr. Kim. I do remember maybe the last one that we had. And certainly looking more, having more of these, because I think that's the best way to really understand as current affairs, what the things that matter to the city and also likewise for us, and the things that matter to our schools and our students. So I want to thank you for being here to see you in front. So we'll go ahead and pass it down to you. Thank you. Good. I think we need an extra symbol that's just a bend diagram with both the school district and the city's field intersecting. Because I think that's really what we do and we want to do and the people in the middle are the community and the students. So I'm just very appreciative for today and I would just like to invite the public that's going to watch hopefully and all of you to come celebrate Tom Chavis' year as mayor. I mean, he really has done an excellent job of reaching or attending school district events and I very much applaud him for that. So thank you Tom. Thank you. It was a lot of fun. I want to concur with a board member, to your genome suggestion about meeting once a year. I think part of what Mayor Chavez and I were biased because we're on standing committee with the school district. So for my perspective, it feels like we talk all the time. But I'm seeing the perspective of the two joint bodies kind of fully together, and meeting is sets of different tenor and tone. And certainly I agree that it is a good model to set for our community. So I want to hope that we work towards trying to make it at least once a year. And again, I won't repeat the comments. I fully concur that we're serving the same community and me kind of being a parent, I guess, I see more the school district side now. The longer my kids are in school and it can appreciate the perspective and the concerns that you kind of bring to the table that perhaps from the city side, it may be our blind spot. So to to kind of merge those two together I think there's a lot more we can leverage to be honest we just I think we're kind of just barely touching the tip of the iceberg so this is the idea there's a lot more we can do when looking forward to all the future possibilities. Thank you so when Vince and I first got on the council back in 2009, these two bodies could not be in the same room together. I know Matt can remember those days. Things have changed significantly. And as Council Member Man mentioned, I think the Standing Committee meetings are great. They go a long way to keeping both bodies informed. We always report out, and I'm sure you guys do too, and it's a good thing, but I think these joint meetings is certainly something that should become a habit. I couldn't believe it's been 2017 since we've done one. Of course, we had a little COVID- in there middle there that probably got in the way, but it's certainly something I think that lends itself well. And again, it shows the, not only the camaraderie, but also the fact that we do represent the same constituents, the same children, the same parents. And we need to get along and do what is best for the community. And I think we've done that for the last few years. So I applaud the board for helping on that. And certainly Dr. Kuno, for all he's done since he's been or how long have you been back now? Is it three years or? It's about year. Third school year, okay. Time goes by fast. So as Council Member Cernquiz mentioned on the attending the school event, I do enjoy that. I'll just share with you the real quick story I was talking with Principal Topoly and at the event on Saturday at the San Gabriel's playhouse and he he told me that he saw a third grade student from La Rosa and went up to him and said, hey, I read to you on, you know, because in Mary was there too, we read to the third grade classes at La Rosa. And he told me, yeah, I read to you. And the kid looked up to me and said, no, you didn't. Mayor Chavez read to us. So I remember that that was pretty cool. But he, but now it's, and just a real quick note about the performing arts program. I know many of you probably attended it. It was so great to see all these young students. I mean one of, I mean Carol Ann Worthline was on my Camilla court as a first grader. And now she's back choreographing most of that program as an adult. And it's just amazing to see them all come back. Leanne Baroldi was saying. And so it just, it makes you, and I told it, kind of makes you feel proud to be part of Temple City. It really does. And a lot of that credit has to go with what you guys do here at the school. And as I mentioned during my state of the city address, we know and we understand that one of the reasons people still want to move the temple city is because of the school district. And we appreciate that very much, though. So thank you. Okay, thanks. Well, I echo everything that's been set. And I want to applaud the school district, applaud the great things that you have done and answering what a mayor just said. People don't necessarily know Temple City if not for the school district. And as a two-largest agency in the geographical area, there's no reason why we shouldn't be working together. I mean, because each agency is so much, I guess, ability to do stuff and with us working together, there's just no limit to what we can do for the community. So looking forward to doing more with the school district and also, also want to thank you for hosting this event. I just wish that we can sit a little closer to the camera. I've had bad eye luck and hardly quite see you guys so. Jerry on your photo can you put us together a little closer? Yeah. Yeah. Full of shoppers. Yeah. Thank you. I'll do everything Calc, Calc's member, man says, because having my son in the school district and as he grows and really just experience itself, really makes me appreciate everything that the school has done. I spend most of my time a lot on the little league field now and that's on the long day of the school campus and where I see a board member Smith and his son also took on a managing a team and just a great community field so I really appreciate all of you, my colleagues in the council and also the school board for your service and just the sentiment out of this meeting I feel really positive about the city and the school district's future and my kids. Oh, hit it. Thank you. All right. Thank you so much everyone for trying this evening for sharing and ideas and we're now hopeful for future collaboration. As a Board of Education, I really also lean on the city for your support, a number of different ways as we have discussed this evening. And we believe in the same idea that we're going to be able to do this all the way is always positive for us. And now I would like to go in and offer a German. I don't need to be this requiring things. I just want to ask. And so thank you very much for all your time. Thank you. We get a group picture of the talk.
