6. INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE 2022 CALIFORNIA FIRE CODE, ALONG WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS, AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR NOV. 8, 2022

[7. INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE 2022 CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE AND RELATED CALIFORNIA CODES FOR CONSTRUCTION, ALONG WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS, AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR NOV. 8, 2022 (MCA 2022-0005)]

ITEM SEVEN, INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE 2022 CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE AND RELATED CALIFORNIA CODES FOR CONSTRUCTION, ALONG WITH LOCAL AMENDMENTS AND SET A PUBLIC HEARING FOR NOVEMBER 8TH.

MR. CHADWICK, DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THE INTRODUCTION? YES, SIR. MAKING THE PRESENTATION TODAY IS OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, MIKE STRONG.

HI, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, AND GOOD EVENING CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS MIKE STRONG, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

AND JOINING ME IS JASON PASIUT, THE CITY'S BUILDING OFFICIAL.

SOME OF THIS PRESENTATION WILL BE VERY REDUNDANT FROM THE PRIOR PRESENTATION COVERING THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE, AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE INCLUDES 12 ELEMENTS OR 12 PORTIONS, AND ONE PORTION IS THE FIRE CODE.

SO THIS AGENDA ITEM, ITEM NUMBER SEVEN IS COVERING ALL THE OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE.

AND SO THE STATE DOES ALLOW THESE LOCAL AMENDMENTS, WHICH IS BEING PRESENTED TO YOU THIS EVENING.

THE ORDINANCE DOES ADOPT BY REFERENCE THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE.

IT DOES PROPOSE LOCAL AMENDMENTS THAT CONTINUE EXISTING POLICIES.

SO THOSE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE MADE IN THE 2019 EDITION OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARD CODE ADOPTION, AND THERE'S ALSO NEW AMENDMENTS PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS PROCESS.

MOST ARE ADMINISTRATIVE IN NATURE, SO IT'S MORE A CLERICAL IN TERMS OF PROCESSING THE APPLICATIONS OR CONDUCTING INSPECTION INSPECTIONS.

BUT THERE ARE A FEW THAT RELATE TO BUILDING STANDARDS, AND I'LL COVER THAT BRIEFLY IN THIS PRESENTATION.

EXHIBITS TWO AND THREE TO THE AGENDA REPORT DOES IDENTIFY THE TRACK CHANGES OF ALL THOSE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.

THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES THAT ARE PROPOSED AS PART OF THIS ORDINANCE RELATE TO THE FOLLOWING: NOISE STANDARDS ADJACENT TO FREEWAYS AND AIRPORTS ENSURE THAT THE STATE STANDARD FOR NOISE INSULATION STANDARDS ARE SATISFIED, AND IT GIVES PRESCRIPTIVE STANDARDS TO THOSE APPLICANTS THAT CHOOSE TO NOT DO ACOUSTICAL STUDIES THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE PERMIT CONSTRUCTION.

A SCREENING FOR ROOF MOUNTED EQUIPMENT AND ROOFTOP HAZARDS.

THAT IS A STATEMENT OF EXISTING POLICY THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT UTILIZES FOR REVIEW OF DISCRETIONARY PERMITS.

AND NOW THIS WILL SEAMLESSLY CONNECT THE BUILDING STANDARDS TO THOSE SAME TYPE OF STANDARDS SO THAT THEY'RE UNIFORM THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

THE CITY IS ALSO PROPOSING A ROOF RAINFALL RATE, A PRECIPITATION RATE FOR THE CITY, SO THAT ROOFTOP DRAINAGE SYSTEMS CAN ACCURATELY BE SIZED TO DISCHARGE THROUGH INLETS AND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS, THE WATER THAT'S CAPTURED ON ROOF ELEMENTS.

AND THEN THE LAST TWO ELEMENTS ON THIS SLIDE SHOW A CONTINUATION OF EXISTING POLICIES.

THERE IS ALREADY IN THE 2019 EDITION OF THE CODE AS AMENDED, FIRE CLASSIFICATION RATINGS FOR PV SYSTEMS. THAT IS VERBATIM CARRIED FORWARD INTO THE 2022 CYCLE AND THEN ALSO A CLIMATE ACTION PLAN REACH CODES FOR BUILDING ELECTRIFICATION, WHICH MIGHT RELATE TO PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS OR PLUMBING SYSTEMS FOR WATER CIRCULATION LOOP SYSTEMS. THOSE WERE CODIFIED IN 2019, AND ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS ARE CARRIED OVER INTO THE CURRENT CYCLE.

THERE ARE SOME DELETIONS OF EXTRANEOUS TEXT THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED TO BE ELIMINATED AS PART OF THIS, AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE ENERGY CODE AND GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE HAS EFFECTIVELY RATCHETED UP THEIR STANDARDS SO THAT THEY'RE NOT REACHING ANYMORE.

THEY ARE NOW AT THE STATE MODEL CODE.

[00:30:04]

SO THE RECOMMENDATION AND NEXT STEPS INCLUDES VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS ITEM .

WE ARE RECOMMENDING A SECOND READING ON NEXT MEETING, THE NOVEMBER 8TH.

WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE ORDINANCE, STAFF WILL BE PROMOTING AWARENESS OF THE MODEL STANDARD CHANGES AND ANY APPLICATION THAT'S RECEIVED AFTER JANUARY 1ST OR ON JANUARY 1ST HEREAFTER WILL BE SUBJECT TO THESE NEW MODEL CODES.

SO ANY APPLICATIONS RECEIVED PRIOR TO THAT DATE OR AN EXISTING APPLICATION THAT'S ALREADY BEEN ISSUED WILL BE HELD TO THE 2019 STANDARDS.

SO WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE AS MANY APPLICANTS TO SUBMIT THEIR APPLICATIONS AND PRIOR TO THAT EFFECTIVE DATE.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU.

SPEAKERS. THERE ARE NO SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM.

QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM.

COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM.

TITLE THE ORDINANCE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. THIS IS AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, REPEALING AND REPLACING CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTERS 1804, BUILDING CODE, 1806, UNIFORM HOUSING CODE, 1808, MECHANICAL CODE TO BE RETITLED HISTORICAL BUILDING CODE, 1812, ELECTRICAL CODE, 1816, PLUMBING CODE, 1818, SOLAR ENERGY CODE, 1819, DANGEROUS BUILDING CODE, 1820, RESIDENTIAL CODE, 1821, GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE AND 1830, ENERGY CONSERVATION REGULATIONS, AND ADDING CHAPTERS 1804, GENERAL PROVISIONS, 1809, EXISTING BUILDING CODE AND 1810, MECHANICAL CODE, BASED ON THE 2022 CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE AS AMENDED.

MOVE INTRODUCTION OF THE ORDINANCE CONTAIN AN AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN AND MOVE SCHEDULING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR NOVEMBER 8TH OF '22.

SECOND. AND JUST TWO CLARIFICATIONS, CITY ATTORNEY FOR THE GENERAL PROVISIONS WAS AT CHAPTER 18.04 OR 0.03 BECAUSE I SEE IT AS .03 UP IN OUR RECOMMENDATION.

SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

I APOLOGIZE IF I MISSPOKE.

IT'S CHAPTER 18.03.

THANK YOU. GOOD CATCH.

AND IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

[8. UPDATE TO THE CITY’S HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE, INCLUDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A LOCAL MILLS ACT PROGRAM]

OKAY. MOVING ON TO ITEM EIGHT, UPDATE TO THE CITY'S HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE, INCLUDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE LOCAL MILLS ACT PROGRAM.

AND BEFORE I HAND IT TO MR. CHADWICK TO MAKE INTRODUCTIONS, I NEED TO DISCLOSE THAT I HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH RENEE WALES.

DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY DISCLOSURES? I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM JUANITA HAYES.

OK. I'VE RECEIVED EMAILS AROUND THIS AS WELL, SO ALSO FROM OTHER RESIDENTS.

I HAVE NOT SPOKEN WITH ANYBODY.

I'VE RECEIVED THE SAME EMAILS THAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS.

OKAY. MR. CHADWICK.

GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND MAKING OUR PRESENTATION TODAY IS OUR ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, MIKE STRONG.

MIKE. THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING, HONORABLE MAYOR, AND GOOD EVENING, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MIKE STRONG.

AND JOINING ME IS TERI DELCAMP OF DELCAMP PRESERVATION PLANNING.

THIS AGENDA ITEM IS A FOLLOW UP FROM DIRECTION THAT WAS PROVIDED IN 2021 REGARDING PURSUING A MILLS ACT PROGRAM.

STAFF AND THE CONSULTANT HAS WORKED WITH THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING ON THREE OCCASIONS TO DEVELOP A RECOMMENDATION THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA PACKET.

THE REQUEST EFFECTIVELY WOULD AMEND TITLE 22 IN CHAPTER 2.42 OF THE CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE AND DEVELOP ADDITIONAL BENEFITS AND INCENTIVES.

REGARDING THE DETAILS OF THE REQUEST, CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE 2.42 COVERS THE DUTIES OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.

SO MOST OF THE AMENDMENTS PROPOSED IN THIS PACKET ARE CLERICAL IN NATURE AND CLARIFYING THE TRUE SCOPE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AND WHAT THEY'RE CHARGED TO PERFORM AS AN ADVISORY BODY.

CHAPTER 22.02 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE COVERS THE GENERAL REGULATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES IN THE CITY, AN EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE PRESERVATION.

IT PRIMARILY APPLIES TO THOSE PROPERTIES THAT ARE SEEKING TO ENTER INTO A OR ENTER INTO THE LOCAL REGISTER OR THOSE PROPERTIES THAT ARE CURRENTLY CARRYING THAT DESIGNATION. THE PROPOSED CHANGES ARE TO REFLECT THE ACTUAL INTENT OF THE REGULATIONS AND CLARIFY THE SCOPE OF THE CHAPTER AND TITLE.

AND ALSO NEW DEFINITIONS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THAT SECTION TO EFFECTIVELY CAPTURE ALL ELEMENTS OF THE CHAPTER, INCLUDING THE NEW ELEMENTS PERTAINING TO THE

[00:35:01]

MOSAIC PROGRAM. CHAPTER 22.06 COVERS THE PROCESS TO DESIGNATE HISTORIC RESOURCES IN THE LOCAL REGISTRY AND ALSO DISTRICTS.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES ENSURE THAT THE NOMINATION PROCESS IS VOLUNTARY AND DECIDED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER.

IT ADDS A PROCESS TO DESIGNATE RESOURCES AS LANDMARKS.

A CLARIFIES A CRITERIA FOR DISTRICT FORMATION AND ESTABLISHES A DESIGNATION PROCESS.

THERE HAS BEEN SOME COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING THE DESIGNATION PROCESS.

IF IT TRULY IS VOLUNTARY OR PROPERTY OWNER CONSENT IS REQUIRED.

SO AS PART OF THIS PRESENTATION, I'D LIKE TO REVIEW THE EXISTING CODE AND HOW THAT'S BEING PROPOSED WITH WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE AGENDA PACKET AND AS A NEW RECOMMENDATION FROM CITY STAFF TO MAKE A CHANGE.

THE EXISTING CODE ALLOWS ANY PERSON, ASSOCIATION OR AGENCY TO REQUEST DESIGNATION ON PROPERTY.

SO CURRENTLY PROPERTY OWNERS DO NOT NEED TO BE NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE OF THAT OR CONSENT TO THE INITIATION.

IT ALLOWS A HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OR COUNCIL TO INITIATE THE DESIGNATION PROCESS, AND IT ALSO STATES THAT A SITE SHALL NOT BE DESIGNATED WITHOUT THE PROPERTY OWNERS CONSENT.

SO EFFECTIVELY THE DESIGNATION PROCESS DOES HAVE A FIREWALL AT THE BOOK END OF THE PROCESS WHERE THE PROPERTY OWNER CAN ESSENTIALLY CONSENT OR NOT CONSENT TO THAT DESIGNATION TO BE EFFECTIVE.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE DRAFT ORDINANCE ALLOWS A PROPERTY OWNER TO REQUEST THE DESIGNATION, SO THE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IS SHIFTING IT FROM ANY PERSON OR PERSONS TO THE PROPERTY OWNER. HOWEVER, IT STILL GIVES THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL THE ABILITY TO INITIATE THE DESIGNATION PROCEEDINGS.

AND IN TWO LOCATIONS IT STATES THAT THE SITE SHALL NOT BE DESIGNATED WITHOUT THE PROPERTY OWNER CONSENT, AND ALL OF THOSE CODE REFERENCES ARE PROVIDED IN THE AGENDA PACKET AND THE DRAFT ORDINANCE AS PROPOSED.

SINCE THE PUBLICATION OF THE STAFF REPORT, THERE HAVE BEEN PUBLIC COMMENTS RECEIVED EXPRESSING CONCERN ABOUT THE DESIGNATION PROCESS.

AND WHILE THE PROPOSED CODE CLEARLY STATES THAT THIS IS A VOLUNTARY PROGRAM AND REQUIRES PROPERTY OWNER CONSENT, THERE IS A SECTION OF THE ORIGINAL CODE THAT WAS MAINTAINED THAT ALLOWS THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OR THE CITY COUNCIL TO INITIATE THE PROCEEDINGS AND INITIATE THE REQUEST.

AND DESPITE THIS SECTION, THE PROPERTY ARE STILL MUST AGREE TO THE DEDICATION AND CANNOT BE FORCED INTO PARTICIPATION.

BASED ON THE PUBLIC FEEDBACK, STAFF IS NOW RECOMMENDING THAT CITY COUNCIL DELETE ONE SENTENCE JUST TO MAKE IT CLEAR, UNAMBIGUOUS THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER CONTROLS 100% OF THE PROCESS. AND THAT IS REFLECTED ON THE SLIDE.

SO IT REQUIRES A DELETION OF THE PROPOSED SECTION 22.06.040A WHERE THE COMMISSION OR CITY COUNCIL MAY ALSO INITIATE SUCH PROCEEDINGS BY MOTION TO BE STRICKEN FROM THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE.

MOVING FORWARD WITH THE REST OF THE REQUEST TO AMEND THE CODE.

CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 22.08 COVERS THE PERMITTING PROCESS FOR PROPERTIES ALREADY IN THE LOCAL REGISTER, SO IT ONLY APPLIES TO THOSE PROPERTIES THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER CONSENT TO THAT DESIGNATION.

THE PROPOSED CHANGES SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS FOR PROPERTIES UNDER THE MILLS ACT CONTRACT AND STREAMLINES THAT REVIEW PROCESS AS LONG AS IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR STANDARDS.

CURRENTLY, ANY PERMIT WOULD HAVE TO GO BEFORE THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION OR THE CITY COUNCIL.

AND THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THAT SECTION ALSO ADDRESSED PENALTIES AND ENFORCEMENT.

THE LAST SECTION, WHICH IS A NEW CHAPTER, SUGGESTED TO BE ADDED TO THE MUNICIPAL CODE, COVERS INCENTIVES AND BENEFITS.

AND FOR THIS PORTION OF THE PROGRAM OR PRESENTATION, I'M GOING TO ALLOW TERRY DELKEMP TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I'M GOING TO START WITH JUST A.

IS YOUR MIC ON.

IT IS. I WILL BRING IT CLOSER TO MY MOUTH.

SORRY. THANK YOU.

I'M JUST GOING TO START WITH A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE MILLS ACT.

THE MILLS ACT IS STATE LEGISLATION THAT IS KNOWN AS ENABLING LEGISLATION BECAUSE IT ENABLES CITIES AND COUNTIES TO ESTABLISH A MILLS ACT PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS FOR A POTENTIAL PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION AS AN INCENTIVE TO OWNERS OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES.

THE MILLS ACT ENCOURAGES LONG TERM PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION AND MAINTENANCE OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS THAT ARE PRIVATELY OWNED AND ARE SUBJECT TO PROPERTY TAXES.

THE PROGRAM, THE MILLS ACT PROGRAM, IS VOLUNTARY.

IT'S UP TO AN OWNER TO DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO APPLY FOR A MILLS CONTRACT.

IF THEY HAVE A DESIGNATED PROPERTY, THEY DON'T HAVE TO APPLY FOR A MILLS ACT.

IT'S COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY.

HOWEVER, ONCE THE MILLS ACT CONTRACT IS APPROVED ON A PROPERTY AND RECORDED, THERE ARE CERTAIN MINIMUM MANDATED REQUIREMENTS PER STATE LAW IN THE ORDINANCE THAT'S BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING. ONE OF THEM IS THAT THE MINIMUM CONTRACT PERIOD IS TEN YEARS.

FOR MILLS ACT CONTRACT, IT RUNS WITH THE PROPERTY.

IT AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS EACH YEAR FOR AN ADDITIONAL YEAR SO THAT AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN TIME, THERE'S BASICALLY TEN YEARS LEFT IN THE CONTRACT.

[00:40:07]

SO IT RUNS ON IN PERPETUITY.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF WAYS THAT THOSE CAN END AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT MORE IN A QUESTION SECTION AFTER THE PRESENTATION.

ONCE THE MILLS ACT CONTRACT IS APPROVED ON A PROPERTY AND RECORDED, THE COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR CONDUCTS A DIFFERENT METHOD OF VALUATION IN ADDITION TO THEIR REGULAR METHODS.

SO THAT'S WHAT OCCURS AFTER APPROVAL OF THE CONTRACT.

SO IN TERMS OF BENEFITS TO PROPERTY OWNERS, I GUESS THE OBVIOUS ONE IS THE POTENTIAL PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION.

THE COUNTY ASSESSOR'S OFFICE ESTIMATES THAT BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE OF PROPERTIES THAT CURRENTLY HAVE MILLS ACT CONTRACTS, THAT PROPERTIES TYPICALLY RECEIVE A PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION BETWEEN 40 AND 60% COMPARED TO THEIR NORMAL PROPERTY TAX BILL.

THE ACTUAL SAVINGS WILL VARY FROM PROPERTY TO PROPERTY.

EVERY PROPERTY IS DIFFERENT.

THERE'S A NUMBER OF FACTORS AND VARIABLES THAT ARE DISTINCT ABOUT DIFFERENT PROPERTIES.

SO THIS RANGE OF 40 TO 60% IS LIKELY FOR SOME, BUT THIS IS REALLY INTENDED FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES.

SO THE MILLS ACT PURPOSE IS TO HAVE THE SAVINGS IN THE PROPERTY TAXES, HELP TO OFFSET MAINTENANCE PRESERVATION AND IF REQUIRED, RESTORATION COSTS THAT AN OWNER OF A HISTORIC PROPERTY MAY EXPERIENCE.

AND THE MILLS ACT IS ESPECIALLY BENEFICIAL TO RECENT BUYERS WHO MAY HAVE PURCHASED A HOME AT THE PEAK OF THE MARKET WITH THE PROPERTY TAX BILL THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT, OR OWNERS WHO HAVE COMPLETED A MAJOR RESTORATION PROJECT ON THEIR HISTORIC BUILDING.

SO IN GENERAL, IN TERMS OF THE PROGRAM, THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS FOR A WORKPLAN THAT'S PROPOSED AS PART OF THE ORDINANCE.

A WORKPLAN CAN INCLUDE ORDINARY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR TYPES OF ITEM S THAT AN OWNER WOULD TYPICALLY BE DOING, MAYBE REPLACING AN HVAC SYSTEM OR REPLACING THE ROOF.

BUT SOMETIMES THERE MAY BE A HISTORIC ELEMENT OR A MATERIAL OR FEATURE THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED INAPPROPRIATELY.

AND SO A WORKPLAN MAY REQUIRE A RESTORATION ITEM FOR AN OWNER TO RESTORE THAT HISTORIC RAILING THAT HAD BEEN REMOVED.

SO THE RESTORATION PLAN WORKPLAN ITSELF WOULD NEED TO BE PREPARED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE, BUT BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL, AND THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS.

THE PROGRAM IS ALSO SET UP WITH A JUNE 1ST APPLICATION DEADLINE EACH YEAR, AND THAT'S INTENDED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CITY HAS ENOUGH TIME TO FINISH EVERYTHING WITH THE MILLS ACT CONTRACTS BY THE END OF THAT SAME CALENDAR YEAR.

AND THEN IN TERMS OF REVIEW OF THE MILLS CONTRACTS, THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION WOULD BE CONSIDERING THEM TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION, AND THEN THAT RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE FORWARDED ON TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL ACTION.

IN TERMS OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAVE A MILLS CONTRACT ON THEIR PROPERTY, AS WAS MENTIONED, THEY ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THE PROPERTY PER HISTORIC STANDARDS, WHICH INCLUDES THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR STANDARDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES, AS WELL AS THE CALIFORNIA STATE HISTORICAL BUILDING CODE, WHICH CAN PROVIDE SOME RELIEF AND SOMETIMES SOME COST SAVINGS IN TERMS OF SOME REPAIRS THAT OCCUR TO A HISTORIC BUILDING.

THE STATE LAW ALSO REQUIRES INSPECTIONS BY THE CITY EVERY FIVE YEARS, SO THE OWNER NEEDS TO ALLOW THE CITY ACCESS FOR THOSE INSPECTIONS.

AND THOSE ARE INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE PROPERTY IS BEING MAINTAINED PER THE HISTORIC STANDARDS AND THAT THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT ARE BEING FULFILLED.

AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, THE WORKPLAN OCCASIONALLY MAY REQUIRE RESTORATION TYPES OF ITEMS AS WELL AS ORDINARY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

AND SO THOSE ARE THE PROPERTY OWNERS RESPONSIBILITIES TO CARRY THOSE OUT DURING THE FIRST TEN YEARS TERM OF THE CONTRACT.

TURNING TO THE VALUATION IN TERMS OF HOW THE MILLS ACT PROVIDES THIS INCENTIVE FOR OWNERS OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES.

AGAIN, ONLY THE TAX ASSESSOR CAN ACTUALLY CALCULATE THE ACTUAL SAVINGS THAT A PROPERTY OWNER WOULD EXPERIENCE.

THAT'S THEIR JOB ONCE THE MILLS CONTRACT IS RECORDED ON THE PROPERTY.

BUT THE STATE LAW REQUIRES THE ASSESSOR TO USE AN INCOME APPROACH TO VALUE FOR THE MILLS ACT.

AND THIS WOULD MEAN LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU HAD AN OWNER OCCUPIED SINGLE FAMILY HOME, IT'S NOT RENTED.

THEY LIVE IN IT. THE ASSESSOR WOULD DETERMINE WHAT THE PROPERTY COULD BE EXPECTED TO YIELD IN TERMS OF RENT, BASICALLY ESTABLISH A COMPARABLE RENTAL VALUE, AND THEN THAT VALUE WOULD BE USED WITHIN THE FORMULA THAT SPECIFIED IN THE MILLS ACT STATE LAW TO COME UP WITH THE PROPERTY VALUE UNDER THE MILLS ACT, WHICH IS CALLED THE RESTRICTED VALUE.

SO THE ASSESSOR STILL IS DOING THE NORMAL VALUATIONS AS WELL, THE FACTORED BASE YEAR VALUE AND THE FAIR MARKET VALUE.

SO THEY END UP WITH THREE VALUES.

THE LAW REQUIRES THEM TO APPLY THE LOWEST OF THOSE THREE VALUES AS THE VALUE FOR THE PROPERTY ON WHICH TO BASE THE PROPERTY TAX.

SO FOR THE MOST PART, THE MILLS ACT VALUE IS GOING TO BE THE LOWEST OF THE THREE VALUES.

BUT IN A SITUATION, SAY, IF A PROPERTY HAD BEEN INHERITED OR IT WAS OWNED SINCE BEFORE PROP 13 WENT INTO EFFECT, THE FACTORED BASE YEAR VALUE MIGHT BE THE LOWEST AND SO THAT ONE

[00:45:09]

WOULD BE APPLIED. SO IT'S JUST KIND OF AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THAT MIGHT WORK IN THAT SITUATION.

AND WHILE THE, YOU KNOW, THE SAVINGS OF 40 TO 60% ON A PROPERTY TAX BILL ARE SIGNIFICANT FOR AN INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNER IN TERMS OF THE OVERALL IMPACT ON CITY REVENUES, CITY RECEIVES ABOUT 10% OF THE PROPERTY TAXES THAT THE COUNTY COLLECTS.

AND IN TERMS OF A SINGLE PROPERTY OWNER SAVINGS IMPACT ON THE REVENUE, IT'S PROBABLY LESS THAN 0.001% OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAX REVENUES RECEIVED BY THE CITY.

SO IT'S A MINIMAL IMPACT.

IN TERMS OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS, THE MILLS ACT WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY THE PLANNING DIVISION IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.

SO THEY HAVE THE APPLICATION FORMS AND ALL THE GUIDANCE THEY'LL BE TAKING IN THE APPLICATIONS AND PROCESSING THEM.

PROPERTY OWNER WOULD HAVE A PRE-APPLICATION MEETING WITH CITY STAFF AND WITH PLANNERS TO GO OVER WHAT THE MILLS ACT IS AND WHAT IT REQUIRES AND THEN GO OVER THE APPLICATION FORMS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING ABOUT ABOUT THE PROCESS.

ONCE THEY FILE THEIR APPLICATION FORM WITH THE REQUIRED SUBMITTALS, STARTS GOING UNDER REVIEW.

THE CITY WOULD SCHEDULE A TIME TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SUBMITTED LINES UP WITH WHAT THEY'RE SEEING, MAYBE TAKE SOME ADDITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS.

ONCE EVERYTHING IS READY TO MOVE FORWARD THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION WOULD HAVE A MEETING AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION.

TYPICALLY THAT WOULD OCCUR IN SEPTEMBER AND THEN THAT WOULD BE FORWARDED ON TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR FINAL ACTION.

AND TYPICALLY THAT MEETING WOULD OCCUR IN NOVEMBER.

AGAIN, THE WHOLE LINEUP OF THE JUNE 1ST APPLICATION DEADLINE, THE SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER MEETINGS ARE ALL INTENDED TO MAKE SURE THAT A MILLS CONTRACT CAN BE APPROVED AND RECORDED IN THAT SAME CALENDAR YEAR BY DECEMBER 31ST.

AND THAT THEN ALLOWS THE COUNTY TAX ASSESSOR TO TAKE THE MILLS ACT INTO CONSIDERATION IN THE SPRING AFTER THAT DECEMBER 31ST AND TO PREPARE THE MILLS ACT VALUE FOR THE PROPERTY AND HOPEFULLY RESULT IN PROPERTY TAX REDUCTIONS FOR THE OWNER OF THAT HISTORIC PROPERTY.

I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TURN IT BACK OVER TO MIKE AT THIS POINT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, TERI.

SO DURING THE PRESENTATION, STAFF DID ACKNOWLEDGE A POTENTIAL CHANGE THAT COULD BE INCLUDED INTO THE MOTION THAT STAFF BELIEVES WOULD ADDRESS SOME OF THE RECENT COMMUNICATIONS AND ENSURE THAT THE PROGRAM TO BE DESIGNATED AS A HISTORIC RESOURCE WAS 100% IN CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY OWNER.

THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER SUGGESTED CHANGE IN THE PRESERVATION, BENEFITS AND INCENTIVES, CHAPTER 22.10.

IT CURRENTLY LISTS THE STATE HISTORICAL BUILDING CODE AND THE MILLS ACT PROGRAM.

BY PRIOR ACTION EARLIER THIS EVENING THE CITY COUNCIL HAD INTRODUCED AN ORDINANCE TO ADOPT THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING STANDARDS CODE, WHICH INCLUDED THE HISTORICAL BUILDING CODE.

SO THAT MAKES THIS REFERENCE REDUNDANT.

SO I WOULD SUGGEST DELETING THAT SECTION IN ITS ENTIRETY.

AND SO THE ONLY SECTION REMAINING WOULD BE THAT SECTION 22.10.20 FOR HISTORICAL PROPERTY CONTRACTS THROUGH THE MOSAIC PROGRAM.

SO THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

CITY STAFF WOULD ALSO BE RETURNING TO CITY COUNCIL LIKELY IN DECEMBER OR JANUARY WITH A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE FEES TO HELP IMPLEMENT COST RECOVERY SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH ADMINISTERING BOTH THE DESIGNATION PROCESS AND THE MILLS ACT PROGRAM.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. OKAY.

VERY WELL DONE.

DO WE HAVE SPEAKERS? YES. MAYOR. THE FIRST SPEAKER IS RENEE WAILES, FOLLOWED BY BOB WAILES.

HELLO, I'M RENEE WALES, 2729 OCEAN STREET, CARLSBAD.

AND WITH THE CHANGES THAT MIKE HAS PRESENTED, I ACCEPT.

OKAY. BOB WAILES, FOLLOWED BY WAYNE BRICKNELL.

HI, MY NAME IS BOB WAILES AND I HAVE LIVED IN CARLSBAD SINCE 1984.

LOVE THE CITY, GOOD WORK.

AND BASED ON THE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE PROPOSED TODAY, WE SUPPORT ITEM NUMBER EIGHT.

IT'S IMPERATIVE TO SAVE THE VOLUNTARY NATURE OF THE HISTORICAL DESIGNATION.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THAT IMPORTANT POINT.

THANK YOU. WAYNE BRICKNELL.

YOU KNOW, IN MY BUSINESS, I DON'T GET TO COME UP HERE AND SUPPORT STAFF.

I USUALLY COMPLAIN. SO I JUST HAVE TO TAKE THE CHANCE TO SAY, YES, WE DO SUPPORT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.

AND JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY IT WASN'T AN EXERCISE IN SEMANTICS, THERE ARE NEW RESTRICTIONS THAT APPLY TO NOMINATED STRUCTURES THAT DON'T EXIST IN THE PRIOR ORDINANCE,

[00:50:04]

AND THAT MATTERS IF IT'S AN INVOLUNTARY PROCESS.

BUT GIVEN THE CHANGES, WHICH MEANS THE ONLY THE OWNER CAN NOMINATE THE STRUCTURE, THAT'S COMPLETELY ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE IT REMAINS A VOLUNTARY PROCESS.

AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK YOU TO STAFF FOR MAKING THE CHANGES.

THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES ALL THE SPEAKERS MAYOR.

QUESTIONS. MR. NORBY. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

SO IN READING AND LISTENING TO THE PRESENTATION, WE'RE GOING TO LIMIT, AND SEE IF I HAVE THIS RIGHT.

WE'RE GOING TO LIMIT THE APPLICATIONS TO THOSE WHO ARE ON A LOCAL HISTORIC REGISTRY.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT WOULD BE CORRECT, YES.

OKAY. IS THERE ANY.

SO I GUESS MY SECOND QUESTION WOULD BE HOW MANY PROPERTIES ARE THAT AND WHEN WAS THE LAST HISTORIC RESOURCE INVENTORY DONE? THE INVENTORY THAT'S BEEN REFERRED TO IS THE SURVEY, THE WINDSHIELD SURVEY THAT WAS PERFORMED, I THINK IN '92 OR '93.

AND I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS THE DATE? 1993.

'91. EARLY NINETIES.

THE INVENTORY IS ACTUALLY PRESUMED TO BE VALID FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS.

THERE'S A STATE STATUTE THAT ACTUALLY COVERS THAT, AND THAT'S SECTION 5024.1 OF THE PUBLIC RESOURCE CODE.

SO ESSENTIALLY, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO UPDATE IT EVERY FIVE YEARS.

SO THE CITY COUNCIL ALSO TOOK ACTION TO DELETE THAT SURVEY.

SO THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE AN EXISTING SURVEY THAT CAN BE UTILIZED FOR ANY PURPOSE.

BUT INDEED, ONE WAS DONE IN THE EARLY NINETIES.

SO THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE ORDINANCE ACKNOWLEDGE AND DELETE REFERENCES TO THE SURVEY, BUT THAT DOESN'T PRECLUDE THE FUTURE EXERCISE OF CONDUCTING SURVEYS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

AND WHAT NUMBER OF PROPERTIES ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THAT ARE INCLUDED? IN THIS SURVEY IT WAS PROBABLY ABOUT 350, 350 AT A POINT IN TIME, 1990, EARLY 1990S.

SO IF ONE WAS DONE TODAY, THAT LIST WOULD GROW CONSIDERABLY BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES THAT MIGHT BE CONTRIBUTING IN THOSE INTERVENING YEARS BECAUSE OF PASSAGE OF TIME. RIGHT. SO LOVE THE MILLS ACT.

I HAD A CHANCE TO TALK TO SENATOR MILLS ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO AND JUST THANK HIM FOR HIS WORK.

I'M AWARE OF SOME CITIES, CITY OF SAN DIEGO, THAT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BIT LAX AND A LITTLE BIT MAYBE ABUSIVE IN TERMS OF TOO MANY PROPERTIES GETTING ON THE MILLS ACT.

AND I'M AWARE OF CITIES THAT HAVE ESTABLISHED A MILLS ACT AND ARE WAITING FOR THEIR FIRST MILLS ACT APPLICANT TO COME FORWARD SEVERAL YEARS LATER.

SO MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS VERY LIMITING IN TERMS OF OUR LOCAL HISTORIC REGISTRY.

I'LL SIMPLY SAY THAT A LOT OF OUR WORK IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION IS KIND OF LED BY THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL AND OUR STATE HISTORIC RESOURCES OFFICER AND THEN LOCAL AND BOTH AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL AND THE STATE REGISTRY, THEY THEY APPLY A DATE OF 50 YEARS OR OLDER FOR SIGNIFICANCE. AND OUR INVENTORY IS 30 YEARS OLD NOW.

IT'S LIKE ALMOST, IT'S ALMOST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THAT'S NOT ON THE REGISTRY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE, YOU KNOW, PRETTY SOON IN 15 OR 20 YEARS. AND THEN ALSO IT CAN BE UNDER THAT IF IT'S A PERSON, A FAMOUS PERSON THAT HAS A RELATIONSHIP TO OR SOME OTHER HISTORIC EVENT OR HISTORIC PLACE THAT IT HAS A RELATIONSHIP TO.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF PROPERTIES IN CARLSBAD, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT ARE RELATED TO HIGHWAY 101, WHICH IS A STATE HISTORIC RESOURCE, ESPECIALLY STATE STREET AND SEGMENTS THAT WERE THERE IN THE 1930S AND THAT NO LONGER SERVE.

AND THE MAJORITY OF THOSE BUILDINGS ARE OVER 50 YEARS OLD, OR AT LEAST A LOT OF THEM.

AND SO I GUESS I WOULD PREFER TO SEE A WIDER ENVELOPE.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU MEET THE NATIONAL TRUST BASIC DEFINITION, THEN COUNCIL CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION OR STAFF THAN JUST SIMPLY SAYING, NOPE, YOU'RE NOT ON OUR LOCAL HISTORIC REGISTRY. SORRY, IT'S 30 YEARS OLD, BUT YOU'RE NOT ON IT AND THEREFORE YOU DON'T GET TO APPLY.

I THINK IT'S TOO LIMITING.

SO I WOULD ASK MY COLLEAGUES TO MAYBE EITHER BRING THIS BACK AND EXPAND THAT OR COME UP WITH SOMETHING TODAY OR AT LEAST STUDY IT IN THREE YEARS.

AND IF THERE'S NO APPLICANTS, THEN WE CAN EXPAND IT.

BUT I JUST, FOR ONE, BELIEVE IT'S TOO LIMITING.

YES. COUNCIL MEMBER ACOSTA.

THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO ASK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION'S DELIBERATIONS AND THEIR VIEW ON THIS WHEN IT CAME BEFORE THEM, BEFORE IT CAME TO US.

COULD YOU ELABORATE? I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S MR. STRONG OR MS. DELKEMP.

IS YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THEIR DELIBERATION ON THE MILLS ACT SPECIFICALLY OR ON THE REST OF THIS ITEM, HAS THIS COME BEFORE THEM BEFORE IT CAME TO US? BECAUSE I SEE THIS IN THE STAFF REPORT AND I'M WONDERING IF YOU CAN CLARIFY.

YES. DURING THE PRESENTATION I NOTED THAT WE, TERI AND I, BOTH WENT AND VISITED THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION THREE TIMES.

[00:55:02]

ONE WAS IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR, JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, AND MARCH OF THIS YEAR.

AND THEN A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION WAS DEVELOPED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE TIME.

SO IN TOTAL IT WAS ACTUALLY FOUR TIMES, THREE IN AN UNOFFICIAL CAPACITY AND THE FOURTH FORMALLY.

THE FRONT END OF THAT OUTREACH WAS MORE INFORMATIONAL SHARING.

SO IT REALLY CULMINATED IN A WORK SESSION IN MARCH, AND THERE WAS MUCH DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CONTEXT OF DESIGNATING PROPERTIES.

THERE WAS CONTACTS ABOUT THE MILLS ACT PROGRAM.

THERE ARE SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WERE GUIDED BY THE HISTORIC COMMISSION THAT WAS INCORPORATED INTO THIS DOCUMENT.

OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, ONE ELEMENT WAS LIMITING THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS THAT COULD BE RECEIVED IN ANY CALENDAR YEAR, AND THEY DIDN'T THINK THERE SHOULD BE ANY LIMITATION.

SO THEY WERE INTRINSICALLY INVOLVED IN DEVELOPING THE DRAFT FRAMEWORK OF THE ORDINANCE.

AND IN THEIR RECOMMENDATION, THE FULL ORDINANCE WAS PRESENTED TO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO.

THANK YOU. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR, JUST TO BRING THAT FORWARD, THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS AND PART OF THE CARLSBAD COMMUNITY THAT ARE RESIDENTS IN THE CARLSBAD COMMUNITY THAT ARE DEDICATED TO PRESERVING HISTORIC PROPERTIES WERE INVOLVED IN THIS.

THIS IS SOMETHING DEVELOPED WITH THE COMMUNITY WITH A LOT OF COMMUNITY INPUT THROUGH THE COMMISSION.

IS THAT RIGHT? YES, CORRECT.

OKAY, GREAT. AND THEN WHEN THE APPLICATIONS COME, THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION WILL HAVE A MAJOR ROLE IN IN GOING THROUGH THOSE AS WELL.

IS THAT RIGHT? CORRECT.

THEY'LL BE FORWARDING THE RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

OKAY, GREAT. I JUST WANTED TO PULL OUT THOSE QUESTIONS TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE POINTS.

AND I DO HAVE SOME CLOSING COMMENTS AS WELL, BUT I'LL WAIT FOR THAT PERIOD.

DOCTOR, YOU HAVE QUESTIONS? SO JUST SO I HEARD CLEARLY, 50 YEARS IS THE MILESTONE? FOR THE DESIGNATION PROCESS, ALOT OF EMPHASIS IS PUT ON ELIGIBILITY, INCLUDING PROPERTY OWNER CONSENT AND THE 50 YEARS AGE OF STATUS. THERE IS A SEPARATE PROVISION THAT ALLOWS SOME EXCEPTIONS TO THE YEARS, PROVIDED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING EXEMPLARY ABOUT THAT THAT IS TIED TO THOSE FOUR ELEMENTS THAT'S IDENTIFIED IN THE CODE.

SO THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THE 50 YEAR LIMITATION SPECIFIC TO GETTING ON THE LOCAL REGISTRY.

OKAY. WALK ME THROUGH THIS AGAIN.

THERE'S A FEDERAL REGISTRY, A STATE REGISTRY.

IS THERE A COUNTY REGISTRY? NO, THERE'S NOT. WELL, THE THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, THEY DON'T ADMINISTER.

THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO DOES HAVE ITS OWN HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM, BUT THEIR RULES AND REGULATIONS DON'T APPLY TO INCORPORATED CITIES.

SO IT DOESN'T SUPERSEDE OURS? IT DOES NOT. DOES NOT AFFECT OURS AT ALL.

SO WALK ME THROUGH THIS.

IF THE HISTORIC COMMISSION WANTED TO LOOK AT ONE OF MY PIECES OF PROPERTY AND SAY, HEY, WE WANT TO PUT THIS ON THE REGISTRY.

HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW THAT PROCESS WORKS.

UNDER TODAY'S RULES, THEY COULD INITIATE THE PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE, AS AMENDED THROUGH THE SUGGESTION AND THE PRESENTATION, THEY COULD NOT. THEY COULD ADVISE THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT THEY THINK IT'S A GOOD CANDIDATE SITE.

BUT ONLY THE PROPERTY OWNER COULD INITIATE THE PROCEEDINGS TO BECOME ON THE LOCAL REGISTER.

SO WHEN YOU DO THAT, DOES THE PROPERTY OWNER GET NOTIFIED AS IT'S GOING TO BE ON AN AGENDA ITEM? HOW DOES THE MECHANICS WORK ON THAT? UNDER THE EXISTING RULES AND PROCEDURES, THERE WOULD BE THAT DUE PROCESS ELEMENT WHERE WE WOULD NOTIFY THE PROPERTY OWNER.

UNDER THE NEW PROPOSED ORDINANCE, AS AMENDED OR SUGGESTED FOR AMENDMENT, ONLY THE PROPERTY OWNER WOULD INITIATE THE PROCEEDING.

ONLY THE PROPERTY OWNER WOULD INITIATE THE PROCEEDING? FOR THE LOCAL REGISTRY.

OKAY. OKAY.

SO I JUST WANT TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR AS TO WHAT THE PROCESS IS.

SO ANYBODY, AND LIKE MR. NORBY SAID, WHEN YOU THINK OF THE BARRIO, I MEAN, IT WAS BUILT IN THE TWENTIES AND THIRTIES, SO I MEAN, THERE COULD BE LOTS OF PLACES.

SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER IS PART OF THE PROCESS AND AT THE END HAS SOME SORT OF ULTIMATE SAY IN IN THE CONVERSATION.

I'M SORRY, YOU.

MAYOR, CAN WE HAVE MAYBE A FIVE MINUTE RECESS SO THAT WE CAN CAUCUS BOTH WITH THE ATTORNEYS AS WELL AS STAFF? BECAUSE I THINK THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE OF INTERPRETATION THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT COUNCIL IS PROPERLY ADVISED ON.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR, FOR SUGGESTING A BRIEF RECESS.

[LAUGHTER] OKAY.

WE'LL STAND DOWN FOR FIVE MINUTES.

THE REASON FOR AND FOR THE PUBLIC'S BENEFIT AS WELL.

WHEN MR. NORBY WAS OR COUNCILMEMBER NORBY WAS INITIALLY ASKING QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE LIMITING RELATED TO WHAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE MILLS ACT,

[01:00:10]

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE ABUNDANTLY CLEAR, BECAUSE INITIALLY STAFF WERE INDICATING THAT IF THEY WERE ON THE LIST, THEN OBVIOUSLY WE'RE PART OF THE SURVEY, THEN THOSE ARE BASICALLY THE PROPERTIES THAT QUALIFY.

BUT I DO WANT TO READ INTO THE RECORD, WHICH IS FOUND IN CHAPTER 22.10B, 22.10.020B, AND IT SAYS INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES THAT ARE NOT A QUALIFIED HISTORICAL PROPERTY AT THE TIME OF THE APPLICATION FOR A MILLS ACT CONTRACT MAY SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR THE PROPERTY TO BE LISTED IN THE REGISTER SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE APPLICATION FOR A MILLS ACT CONTRACT. THE APPLICATION WILL BE PROCESSED CONCURRENTLY.

SO I BELIEVE THAT THAT INFORMATION AGAIN, WE APOLOGIZE IF WE DIDN'T MAKE THAT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR, BUT I THINK THAT THIS ADDRESSES THE ISSUE THAT YOU WERE BRINGING UP, SIR. THAT'S RIGHT.

SO, ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? FINAL COMMENTS.

MR. NORBY. I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE A MINUTE ON THIS.

YOU KNOW, I DID WORK IN ANOTHER CITY FOR 19 YEARS AND WE DID NOT HAVE A REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND WE DID NOT HAVE AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, YET WE HAD KIND OF THREE COMMUNITIES THAT WERE A LITTLE BIT RUNDOWN AND BYPASSED BY HIGHWAY 5.

AND WHAT'S THE STRATEGY? HOW ARE WE GOING TO BRING LIFE BACK INTO THESE COMMUNITIES? HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE THEM RELEVANT IN TODAY'S WORLD AND ACTUALLY MAKE THEM SHINE IN TODAY'S WORLD AND BE A PREFERRED DESIGNATION? AND THE SHORT ANSWER IS HISTORIC PRESERVATION, ARCHITECTURE AND ARTS.

AND CREATING KARATS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION IS ONE OF THE SMARTEST THINGS THAT THIS CITY CAN DO.

AND NOT JUST THIS KARATS, BUT OTHER KARATS.

AND SO MY CONCERN AND SUPPORT OF THE ARTS, AND WE JUST WE SEE THAT WITH NEW VILLAGE ARTS.

LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED DOWN THERE IN THE LAST TEN YEARS.

IT'S BEEN MIRACULOUS WHAT THE ARTS CAN DO.

AND SO IT IS WHAT SEPARATES US, RIGHT? SO WE CAN, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GO TO A HOME DEPOT OR A LOWE'S OR A COSTCO IN BOSTON, AND IT'S THE SAME AS OURS.

BUT OUR LOCAL ARCHITECTURE, OUR LOCAL ARTS REALLY IS WHAT MAKE THIS COMMUNITY SHINE.

AND SO I'M SUPER SUPPORTIVE OF THIS AND MY COMMENTS ARE I WANT IT TO SUCCEED AND I WANT TO SEE SEVERAL APPLICANTS GET INTO IT AND GO, AND I DON'T WANT IT TO BE SO LIMITING.

I'LL MAKE SOME CRITICAL COMMENTS OF OUR CITY.

I DON'T THINK IT'S HAD ENOUGH OF A EMPHASIS ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION.

I'LL JUST NOTE OUR RESOURCE WAS DONE 30 YEARS AGO AND IT SHOULD BE DONE, YOU KNOW, EVERY FIVE YEARS.

THE MILLS ACT IS ALWAYS INTENDED TO BE PROPERTY OWNER BASED IN TERMS OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS, THE ONE WHO'S RECEIVING THE PROPERTY TAX DEDUCTION SO THEY CAN MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR PROPERTIES. IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE TO DO SO.

AND SO I'M TOTALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE VOLUNTEER ASPECT OF IT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BAR FOR ENTRY INTO OUR LOCAL RESOURCES AND THE MILLS ACT IS A LOW BAR THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER CAN DO SO BOTH CONCURRENTLY CAN GET IN THERE.

WE DON'T TURN IT INTO, YOU KNOW, SOME SOME MAJOR, MAJOR OPERATION.

AND IT WAS DESCRIBED EXACTLY RIGHT.

IF IT'S OVER 50 YEARS, THE ASSUMPTION IS IT'S A HISTORIC RESOURCE.

AND IF IT'S UNDER 50 YEARS, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SECONDARY ATTACHMENT TO THAT AS WELL.

SO AS LONG AS WE DO THAT AND WE CAN EXPAND THAT HISTORIC RESOURCES LIST WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS, YOU KNOW, APPROVAL AND APPLICATION, I'M IN SUPPORT OF IT.

COUNCILMEMBER ACOSTA.

THANK YOU. I'M SO PLEASED TO SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS AGENDA ITEM.

I REMEMBER THE CONVERSATION WHEN THERE WAS A HOUSE FOR SALE THAT HAS A LOT OF HISTORY AND IS VERY OLD AND VERY BEAUTIFUL.

AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO HAD INHERITED THE PROPERTY FROM A RELATIVE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THEY COULD HOLD ON TO IT.

THEY COULDN'T AFFORD IT. AND THEY CAME TO US ASKING FOR THE CITY TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY OR ANYTHING THAT COULD BE DONE.

AND THE CONVERSATION RESULTED IN THIS EXPLORATION OF THE MILLS ACT AND WHAT WE COULD DO IN CARLSBAD TO HELP ENCOURAGE THE PRESERVATION OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES.

THE LAST THING WE WANT IS FOR PEOPLE TO FIND THAT IT'S MORE PROFITABLE TO TEAR DOWN SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND HISTORIC AND PUT UP SOMETHING NEW WITHOUT THE CHARM AND THE FLAVOR AND THE HISTORY OF THESE OLD BEAUTIFUL PROPERTIES.

SO I'M VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF THE CONCEPT.

I LIKE THE WAY THAT IT'S BEEN DEVELOPED.

I WANT TO THANK STAFF AND CONSULTANTS AND ALSO THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION, BECAUSE OUR COMMISSIONERS ARE VOLUNTEERS IN THIS CITY WHO STEP UP TO SIT ON A BOARD OR A COMMITTEE OR A COMMISSION ARE SO IMPORTANT.

THEY DEVOTE SO MUCH TIME AND EFFORT TO THAT VOLUNTEER WORK ON BEHALF OF THE CITY.

AND I THINK THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION IN THIS IN THIS MATTER HAS DONE A LOT OF HEAVY LIFTING, A LOT OF GREAT WORK.

AND I'M REALLY GRATEFUL TO THEM.

[01:05:02]

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYBODY HERE REPRESENTING THEM, BUT IN THE FUTURE, IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO TO HEAR FROM THEM.

I KNOW WE'LL SEE THEM AT THE COMMITTEE'S RECOGNITION EVENT NEXT WEEK, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GIVING MY MY APPRECIATION, TO SHARING MY APPRECIATION WITH THEM IN PERSON THEN.

SO THANK YOU FOR THIS.

I'M VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT AND IN SUPPORT OF THE CONCEPT.

THANKS.

DOCTOR.

YES, THANK YOU. I'LL JUST ECHO SENTIMENTS FROM THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEMBERS.

I KNOW THE COMMUNICATIONS WE RECEIVED WERE FROM VARIOUS DIFFERENT FOLKS, BUT ALSO I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT THOSE THAT ARE HERE, THIS IS AMENABLE TO YOU, BECAUSE MY QUESTIONS WERE AROUND THAT. AND I'M GLAD YOU ALL SPOKE BEFORE QUESTIONS.

SO IF IT'S AMENABLE TO ALL PARTIES AND WE HAVE FOUND A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD.

AND OF COURSE, HISTORIC PRESERVATION IS SO IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY.

AND JUST THE HISTORY OF CARLSBAD IS SO, SO NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO, OF COURSE, NOT ONLY PRESERVE, BUT ALSO JUST CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT WAYS TO ENRICH. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO DO THAT.

SO REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING.

MR. BLACKBURN. I HAVE NOTHING TO ADD, BUT I'M READY TO MAKE THE MOTION.

I JUST ALSO WANT TO THANK THE COMMUNITY THAT WAS HERE TONIGHT FOR COMING AND SPEAKING BEFORE US AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, STAFF TO MAKING THOSE LAST MINUTE CHANGES.

THAT SHOWS HOW WE CAN ALL COME TOGETHER TOGETHER FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF COMMUNITY.

SO PLEASE.

THE WAY WE NEED TO TITLE THE ORDINANCE FIRST.

AND THIS WILL BE THE ORDINANCE, AS WITH THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CARLSBAD MUNICIPAL CODE TITLE 2 CHAPTER 2.42 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AND TITLE 22 HISTORIC PRESERVATION.

DO WE NEED TO SAY, NOTING THE CHANGES PRESENTED TONIGHT? IF MAYOR PRO TEM BLACKBURN COULD INCLUDE THAT IN HIS MOTION.

THANK YOU. OK MR. BLACKBURN. MOVE INTRODUCTION OFTHE ORDINANCE WITH THE ADDENDUMS AND AGENDA ITEM NUMBER EIGHT AND AS RECOMMENDED BY THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE, I RECOMMEND THE HISTORIC OR DIRECT STAFF TO WORK WITH THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION IN DEVELOPING ADDITIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION INCENTIVES FOR THE CITY COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION.

MOVING ON TO PUBLIC HEARINGS.

[10. PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM FUNDING PLAN AND AUTHORIZATION OF APPLICATION FOR FUNDS]

PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM FUNDING PLAN AND AUTHORIZATION OF APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDS.

CITY MANAGER, DO YOU WANT TO MAKE INTRODUCTIONS, PLEASE? THANK YOU SO MUCH. MAKING OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS OUR HOUSING AND HOMELESS SERVICES DIRECTOR MANDY MILLS AND MAKING HER FIRST APPEARANCE BEFORE CITY COUNCIL, OUR PROGRAM MANAGER, NICOLE PIANO-JONES.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MANDY MILLS, DIRECTOR OF HOUSING AND HOMELESS SERVICES AND CITY MANAGER CHADWICK ALREADY STOLE MY THUNDER.

HE INTRODUCED NICOLE PIANO-JONES, WHO RECENTLY JOINED OUR DEPARTMENT AS PROGRAM MANAGER, AND I WILL TURN IT OVER TO MS. PIANO-JONES TO MAKE THAT PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE VERY WARM WELCOME.

AGAIN, MY NAME IS NICOLE PIANO-JONES.

I AM A PROGRAM MANAGER WITH THE HOUSING AND HOMELESS SERVICES DEPARTMENT, AND I'LL BE PRESENTING ITEM 10 THIS EVENING.

SO THIS ITEM CONSISTS OF A PUBLIC HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION FUNDING PLAN AND APPLICATION FOR FUNDS.

I'LL PROVIDE A BRIEF OVERVIEW PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND FOLLOWED BY THE PROPOSED FUNDING PLAN FOR THE CITY OF CARLSBAD.

SO BACK IN 2017, THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA PASSED SB SENATE BILL 2, WHICH ESTABLISHED A $75 RECORDING FEE ON REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS, WITH THE GOAL OF CREATING A PERMANENT FUNDING SOURCE FOR LOCALITIES TO ADDRESS AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEEDS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

THIS IS NOW KNOWN AS THE PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION OR THE PLHA PROGRAM, AND IT'S ADMINISTERED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT.

[01:10:07]

THE STATE CREATED THE PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND MADE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO LOCAL JURISDICTIONS THROUGH AN ANNUAL NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY.

THE MAIN PROGRAM OF ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA INCLUDES DEVELOPING A FIVE YEAR FUNDING PLAN, IDENTIFYING THE INTENDED USE OF THE FUNDS.

AND FOR REFERENCE, A LIST OF THE ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES IS INCLUDED AS EXHIBIT TWO OF THE AGENDA REPORT.

THE FUNDING PLAN AND APPLICATION FOR FUNDS MUST PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT.

AND FINALLY, THE FUNDING PLAN AND APPLICATION MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE STATE BY THE TIMELINES SPECIFIED.

AND FOR CARLSBAD, THE DRAFT 2019-2023 PHLA FUNDING PLAN, WHICH IS FOUND IN EXHIBIT ONE OF THE ATTACHMENT OF THE AGENDA REPORT, PROPOSES TO UTILIZE ALL THE FUNDS FOR THE ELIGIBLE ACTIVITY OF ASSISTING PERSONS EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS OR THOSE AT RISK OF BECOMING HOMELESS. THE PLHA FUNDS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT THE WORK PROGRAM AS APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS.

WE KNOW THE ACTUAL AMOUNTS THAT CARLSBAD WILL RECEIVE FOR THE FIRST THREE YEARS: 2019, 2020 AND 2021, WHICH IS JUST A LITTLE OVER $1.16 MILLION.

AND CARLSBAD IS ESTIMATED TO RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY $1.6 MILLION FOR THE FIVE YEAR PERIOD.

SHOULD THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE PLHA FUNDING PLAN, STAFF WILL SUBMIT THE APPLICATION TO THE STATE, FOLLOWED BY EXECUTION OF THE FUNDING AGREEMENT AND GRANT ADMINISTRATION.

STAFF WILL RETURN TO THE CITY COUNCIL LATER THIS YEAR TO PRESENT AN UPDATE TO THE HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE PLAN AND WORK PLAN.

AT THAT TIME, THE CITY COUNCIL WILL BE ASKED TO APPROPRIATE THE FUNDS TO SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE WORKPLAN.

UPON NOTIFICATION OF AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR YEARS 2022 AND 2023, STAFF WILL PREPARE AND SUBMIT A STREAMLINED APPLICATION, AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE NEXT FIVE YEAR PLAN WILL COVER THE YEARS 2024 TO 2028.

THAT WILL BE DEVELOPED IN 2023.

STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING UNDER THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PROGRAM, ADOPT THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FUNDING PLAN AND AUTHORIZE AUTHORIZATION TO REQUEST FUNDING.

THIS CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION AND STAFF IS AVAILABLE AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

OK. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING.

DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS WHO WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? WE DO NOT HAVE ANY SPEAKERS.

OKAY. WITH THAT, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING PORTION AND BRING IT BACK TO QUESTIONS OF COUNCIL.

COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL.

MOTION FROM MR. OH, I'M SORRY.

BRIEFLY, I JUST WANTED TO THANK STAFF FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD.

IT'S ALWAYS GREAT TO RECEIVE FUNDING FROM STATE OR FEDERAL OR OTHER SOURCES, EVEN FOUNDATIONS OR OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE OUT THERE AND ALIGN WITH OUR VALUES AND OUR PRIORITIES AS A CITY.

SO WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED ADDRESSING PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS AS A PRIORITY.

HOW CAN WE HELP THEM? WHAT RESOURCES CAN WE GET FOR THEM? AND I'M JUST PLEASED TO SEE THAT WE'RE GETTING OUTSIDE FUNDING TO HELP US WITH OUR PRIORITY IN THIS COMMUNITY.

SO THANK YOU.

MR. BLACKBURN. MOVE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION CONTAINED IN AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 10.

SECOND. PLEASE VOTE.

OKAY, ITEM 10 PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

WE'RE NOW MOVING ON TO DEPARTMENTAL AND CITY MANAGER REPORTS, THE EXTENDING OF THE PROCLAMATION OF LOCAL EMERGENCY REGARDING BICYCLE, E-BICYCLE AND

[11. EXTENDING THE PROCLAMATION OF A LOCAL EMERGENCY REGARDING BICYCLE, E-BICYCLE AND MOTORIZED MOBILITY DEVICE SAFETY]

MOTORIZED MOBILITY DEVICE SAFETY.

MR. CHADWICK, INTRODUCTION.

YES. THANK YOU SO MUCH, SIR.

AND MAKING THE PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, GEOFF PATNOE, AND OUR CHIEF INNOVATION OFFICER, DAVID GRAHAM.

GENTLEMEN. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST EIGHT WEEKS SINCE THE CITY PROCLAIMED A LOCAL EMERGENCY IN CARLSBAD REGARDING TRAFFIC SAFETY.

TONIGHT, THE CITY COUNCIL WILL RECEIVE A BRIEF REPORT ON RECENT ACTIONS SINCE YOUR LAST UPDATE ON SEPTEMBER 27TH, AND YOU'LL BE ASKED TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO EXTEND THE LOCAL EMERGENCY.

WITH ADDITIONAL RESOURCES APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON AUGUST 30, THE CARLSBAD POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN ABLE TO INCREASE ENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC SAFETY RELATED TO VIOLATIONS, RESULTING IN THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS.

FOR THE NUMBER OF CITATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED IS 1,113.

OF THOSE, 948 HAVE BEEN VEHICLE CITATIONS, 135 HAVE BEEN E-BIKE, 27 HAVE BEEN PEDAL BIKE, AND THREE CITATIONS HAVE BEEN FOR PEDESTRIANS.

[01:15:03]

DURING THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME, THERE'S BEEN 50 DUI ARRESTS MADE IN CARLSBAD.

YOU MAY NOTICE THAT SINCE OUR LAST REPORT, THE PROPORTION OF AUTOMOBILE CITATIONS HAS INCREASED AT A FASTER CLIP THAN OTHER MODES OF TRAVEL.

WE'D LIKE TO THINK THIS IS BECAUSE OF CYCLISTS AND E-BIKE RIDERS HAVE CHANGED THEIR BEHAVIORS, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE HAVE NOTICED ANECDOTALLY.

WE SEE A LOT MORE E-BIKE RIDERS USING THEIR HELMETS AND STAYING IN THE BIKE LANES.

IT'S TOO SOON TO HAVE ANY HARD DATA, BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE BEHAVIORS OF ROAD USERS.

NOW, I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW RECENT LOCAL EMERGENCY RELATED ACTIONS OR ACTIVITIES.

ON OCTOBER 4, THE CITY PARTNERED WITH THE CARLSBAD UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT'S PARENT UNIVERSITY AND THE SAN DIEGO BIKE COALITION, AMONG OTHERS, TO CONDUCT A BICYCLE AND E-BIKE SAFETY AND EDUCATION CLASS.

GIVEN THE BROAD INTEREST IN E-BIKE SAFETY, WE LIVESTREAMED THE MEETING ON THE CITY'S INSTAGRAM AND FACEBOOK CHANNELS AND HAVE THE VIDEO AVAILABLE ON THE CITY'S WEBSITE.

THIS CLASS IS ONE OF SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES WHERE THE CITY IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY TO EDUCATE AND INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT SAFETY.

ON OCTOBER 12, CITY STAFF HELD A COMMUNITY MEETING WITH ABOUT 55 NEIGHBORS TO TALK ABOUT SHORT TERM SOLUTIONS TO SLOW DOWN TRAFFIC ON TAMARACK AVENUE BETWEEN SKYLINE AND ADAMS. THE CITY COUNCIL ASKED STAFF TO ACCELERATE THIS PROJECT, AND I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE RECEPTIVE TO STAFF'S CONCEPT PLAN.

AND ONCE WE WRAP UP THE ONLINE ENGAGEMENT, WE'LL BE READY TO BRING THIS FORWARD TO THE TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION IN DECEMBER AND HAVE COMMITTED TO COMPLETING THE IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN SIX MONTHS.

THERE'S BEEN SOME RECENT REQUESTS FROM THE COMMUNITY REGARDING THE SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM.

THE CITY CURRENTLY FUNDS 36 CROSSING GUARDS, SERVING 14 SCHOOLS IN THE CITY OF CARLSBAD.

THE CITY HAS RECEIVED REQUEST ABOUT THE FEASIBILITY OF EXTENDING THE CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM TO A FEW ADDITIONAL MIDDLE SCHOOLS, INCLUDING AVAIRA AND CALAVERA.

THE CARLSBAD POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHO MANAGES THE CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM, HAVE REVIEWED THE REQUEST WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, AND THE DEPARTMENT HAS INDICATED TODAY THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO REALLOCATE RESOURCES WITHIN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET TO ACCOMMODATE THIS REQUEST, WITH WHICH CITY COUNCIL CAN THEN CONSIDER MOVING FORWARD AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS FOR NEXT YEAR.

FINALLY, AS DIRECTED BY THE COUNCIL, THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION WILL BE HOLDING SEPARATE SPECIAL MEETINGS ON OCTOBER 27TH TO RECEIVE A PRESENTATION ON THE SAFE STREETS PLAN THAT HAD BEEN PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON SEPTEMBER 27.

THE COMMISSIONS ARE BEING ASKED TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE IDEAS AND PROPOSALS CONTAINED IN THE SAFE STREETS PLAN.

THE FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMISSIONS WILL BE SHARED WITH THE CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION, ALONG WITH THE SAFE STREETS PLAN AT THE FIRST COUNCIL MEETING IN DECEMBER.

NOW I'D LIKE TO TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO CHIEF INNOVATION OFFICER DAVID GRAHAM, WHO WILL GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF HOW DATA IS BEING UTILIZED IN THE CITY'S SAFER STREETS TOGETHER PROGRAM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO THE CITY HAS A PRACTICE TO INFORM OUR DECISIONS AND THEY APPROACHED THIS EMERGENCY WAS NO DIFFERENT.

WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DATA THAT ARE BEING USED, WHETHER IT'S RESIDENT FEEDBACK OR SENTIMENT ANALYSIS, ENFORCEMENT, DATA MAPPING, GEOSPATIAL DATA, PROJECT DATA, ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE REGULARLY USED.

AND NOTING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL EARLIER THIS YEAR PASSED A CITYWIDE DATA MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.

IT'S INFORMED THROUGH THAT LENS AND THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY DONE, TO BUILD CAPACITY, TO DO DATA INFORMED DECISION MAKING, WHICH HAS BEEN APPLIED IN THIS PARTICULAR EMERGENCY. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE ALSO IN THE WORKS WITH REGARDS TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND RESIDENT FEEDBACK DATA WILL PROVIDE MORE MEANINGFUL MEASURES FROM THE BEHAVIOR CHANGE PERSPECTIVE AS WELL, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL CAPACITY ON RESIDENT FEEDBACK THAT WAS INCLUDED IN YOUR EARLIER ACTION TONIGHT.

IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THIS, THERE ARE VARIOUS SOURCES OF DATA THAT WE USE, FOR EXAMPLE, INJURY COLLISION DATA THAT WE'RE BRINGING TOGETHER TO REALLY INFORM THE DECISION MAKING WITH REGARDS TO THIS PROCESS.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE WERE TO TAKE ALL INJURY COLLISIONS, DOES IT MATTER WHAT SORT OF MODE, WHETHER YOU'RE WALKING, BIKING, A PEDESTRIAN OR A AUTOMOBILE OR UNICYCLE, YOU WOULD END UP IN THIS PARTICULAR DATA.

AND WE SEE IN THE FIRST THREE YEARS BETWEEN 2017 AND 2019, FAIRLY CONSISTENT INFORMATION WITH REGARDS TO INJURY COLLISIONS, NO MATTER WHETHER YOU'RE WALKING, BIKING OR DRIVING. YOU CAN ALSO SEE A BIG DIP IN 2020 WITH THE RESTRICTIONS THAT OCCURRED DURING COVID 19, WHICH WAS I THINK MOST OF US EXPERIENCED COVID TRAFFIC.

THOSE WERE PRETTY LIGHT TIMES ON OUR ROADS AND ON OUR SIDEWALKS AND BIKEWAYS.

UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU MOVE INTO 2021, YOU BEGIN TO SEE THIS SIGNIFICANT SPIKE, BOTH STARTING FAIRLY HIGH, BUT THEN INCREASING SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE HIGHEST NUMBERS IN THE FALL AND WINTER MONTHS, WHICH ARE QUITE CONCERNING.

SO THEN THAT BEGS THE QUESTION, WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DOING FOR THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS OF THIS YEAR? WELL, UNFORTUNATELY WE STARTED OUT QUITE HIGH AND AS YOU EXPECT WITH ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AND INTO THE HOLIDAYS, WE REGULARLY SEE AN INCREASE.

[01:20:07]

AND SO IT IS AN APPROACH FOR THE CITY, NOT JUST FOR ONE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, BUT FOR ALL MODES OF TRANSPORTATION, WHICH IS WHY WE FOCUS ON SAFER STREETS TOGETHER.

NOW, THIS IS INTERESTING INFORMATION, INTERESTING DATA, BUT IT'S A BROAD TREND FOR THE ENTIRE CITY, WHICH IS WHY WE BREAK THIS DOWN TO SPECIFIC LOCATIONS AND INTENSITIES USING THINGS LIKE HEAT MAPS.

THIS MAY BE FAMILIAR TO YOU FROM YOUR LAST PRESENTATION REGARDING SAFER STREETS.

WE TALKED ABOUT MANY OF THE EARLY ACTION EFFORTS THAT HAD OCCURRED AND LOCATIONS, AND YOU SAW THOSE OCCURRING CITYWIDE.

BUT THERE ARE ALSO NEAR-TERM ACTIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE OCCURRING OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS THAT ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT.

AND ALSO, WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH THE CITY, ARE IMPROVING THINGS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

FOR EXAMPLE, RESURFACING AND RESTRIPING ABOUT 15 MILES WORTH OF STREETS.

AND WHEN WE RESURFACE AND RESTRIPE, WE'RE ALSO ADDING BIKE LANES, HIGH VISIBILITY PAINT, IMPROVING BUFFERED BIKE LANES AND THE LIKE.

AND THAT'S OCCURRING IN MAJOR THOROUGHFARES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES, WHICH THE CITY COUNCIL IS VERY FAMILIAR WITH IN THE VILLAGE AND BARRIO ARE ALSO ON THEIR WAY AS WELL.

AND ADDRESSING, AS YOU CAN SEE UP THERE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER, AN AREA OF INTENSITY WITH REGARDS TO CONCENTRATIONS OF INJURIES.

MOVING ON TO ADDITIONAL PROJECTS.

THERE'S MANY FUNDED IMPROVEMENTS SUCH AS TRAFFIC CALMING EFFORTS AND COMPLETE STREETS PROJECTS THAT ARE AT VARIOUS OTHER LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

AND THEN THE HIGH VISIBILITY GREEN PAINT, WHICH YOU SAW IN THE LAST PRESENTATION, IS GOING TO BE EXPLODING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY.

WE ARE GETTING MEAN AND GREEN ALL OVER THE CITY.

AND THAT IS IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT THOSE CORRIDORS THAT ARE RECEIVING STRIPING, THOSE INTERSECTIONS WILL ALSO BE SEEING A HIGH VISIBILITY GREEN PAINT.

SO ACROSS THE BOARD, THESE EFFORTS ARE REALLY BEING DRIVEN BY THE CONCENTRATIONS, AREAS OF DATA.

AND WE ARE EITHER ACCELERATING PROJECTS, WE'RE CONTINUING PROJECTS THAT WERE ALREADY PLANNED OR ADDING NEW PROJECTS TO IMPROVE SAFETY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY.

SO WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE? WE'RE USING A DATA INFORMED APPROACH, A GEOSPATIAL INFORMED APPROACH, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO LOOK TO OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.

THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE AND WHAT WE CAN USE.

WE'VE FOUND AND CONTINUED TO IMPROVE OUR ABILITY TO BOTH COLLECT OUR OWN DATA BUT ALSO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND PROCESSES.

AND IT MAKES US VERY INTERESTED WITH OTHER TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE CAN PULL SIMILAR DATA AND FUSE THAT WITH WHAT WE HAVE TO HAVE A MORE GRANULAR APPROACH TO TRAFFIC SAFETY. THERE'S ALSO NEW TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE ALLOWING FOR MORE REAL TIME DATA, WHETHER THOSE ARE SENSORS OR VARIOUS DIFFERENT MAJOR BIG DATA COMPANIES.

WE'RE BEGINNING TO EXPLORE WHETHER WE COULD HAVE THINGS LIKE OUR ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM MONITORING, WHICH ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, PROVIDING THINGS LIKE VOLUME, SPEED AND TRANSPORTATION MODE.

CAN WE DO THAT ON A MORE REAL TIME BASIS? AND SO EXPLORING THAT AS WELL.

ALL OF THIS REALLY UNITES TOGETHER WITH ONE BIG THEME.

THIS COUNCIL, THE LEADERSHIP HERE AT THE CITY, HAVE BEEN VERY FOCUSED ON A DATA INFORMED APPROACH.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TAKING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PARTICULAR EMERGENCY.

AND WE WILL BE USING THAT APPROACH TO IMPROVE SAFETY FOR ALL.

WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT BACK TO ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER GEOFF PATNOE.

THANK YOU, DAVID.

TONIGHT, IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING THIS REPORT ON RECENT ACTIONS, THE CITY COUNCIL IS BEING ASKED TO CONSIDER A RESOLUTION EXTENDING THE LOCAL EMERGENCY UNTIL DECEMBER 17.

WE'LL ALSO BE RETURNING IN EARLY DECEMBER WITH THE SAFE STREETS PLAN, ALONG WITH THE FEEDBACK FROM THE TRAFFIC MOBILITY AND PLANNING COMMISSIONS.

ABSENT ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, THIS CONCLUDES TONIGHT'S PRESENTATION.

SPEAKERS ON THIS ITEM.

WE DO HAVE ONE SPEAKER, MATT MOLDOVAN.

SO MY NAME IS MATT MOLDOVAN AND MY FAMILY AND I HAVE LIVED DOWN THE STREET IN OLD CARLSBAD FOR 18 YEARS.

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I WAS CYCLING, HEADING EASTBOUND ON CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE FROM THE TRAIN WHEN I WAS RIGHT-HOOKED AT THE ROOSEVELT INTERSECTION BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING SLOW.

MY BODY LEFT AN IMPRINT ON THE SUV, AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO WALK TO RIGHT AWAY AND GET HOME TO MY YOUNG KIDS.

NOW MY KIDS ARE OLDER AND RIDING THEIR OWN BIKES, NOT E-BIKES.

AND WE'D LOVE TO BIKE TO THE VILLAGE AS A FAMILY FOR ICE CREAM, GO TO THE BEACH AND LESSEN THE PARKING BURDENS DOWNTOWN.

BUT THE BIKE LANES TO AND FROM THE VILLAGE ARE VERY UNSAFE.

SO TONIGHT, I'M ENCOURAGING COUNCIL AND STAFF TO UTILIZE THE CURRENT EMERGENCY DECLARATION TO IMPROVE THESE UNSAFE CONDITIONS, PROVIDE SAFE PASSAGE TO AND FROM THE HEART OF CARLSBAD ALONG CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE.

SO I'M AN ENGINEER.

AND SO I STARTED LOOKING TO THE DATA OF WHY I FEEL UNSAFE ON CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE.

AND WHAT I FOUND IS SURPRISING.

THE UNION-TRIBUNE RECENTLY RELEASED A REPORT IN THE LAST THREE YEARS ABOUT ONE IN FOUR ACCIDENTS, AS SHOWN ON YOUR HEAT MAP, HAVE HAPPENED IN CARLSBAD VILLAGE AROUND THERE.

IT TURNS OUT THAT THE BIKE LANES ON CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE DO NOT EVEN MEET THE MINIMUM WIDTH OF FIVE FEET REQUIRED BY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GUIDELINES.

[01:25:10]

THE CITY'S OWN SUSTAINABILITY AND MOBILITY PLAN REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF FIVE FEET ON CLASS TWO BIKE PATHS.

AND ON CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE, THE BIKE LANE WIDTHS VARY WIDELY AND REACH FOUR AND A HALF FEET IN MANY PLACES.

FURTHER COMPOUNDING THE PROBLEM, THE TWO LANE VEHICLE LANES, THE TWO VEHICLE LANES ARE ONE FOOT LESS THAN THE 11 FEET REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

SO WHEN YOU ADD UP ALL OF THESE LOSSES OF LANE WIDTH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A THREE FEET REDUCTION IN THE BUFFER THAT WE SHOULD HAVE ON THAT STREET.

MY FAMILY AND I NOW RIDE OUR BIKES ON THE SIDEWALK BECAUSE OUR LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN THE POSSIBLE CITATION OF RIDING ON THE SIDEWALKS TO GET TO THE VILLAGE.

SO I'VE REACHED OUT TO CITY STAFF AND PEDER NORBY OVER HERE, AND THEY'VE ALSO IDENTIFIED THAT CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE IS OUT OF SPECIFICATION WITH REGULATIONS, AND THERE IS NO PLAN TO FIX THIS.

SO QUICKLY I COME OFFERING SOLUTIONS.

ONE, ADD CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE TO THE RECONFIGURATION PLANS AND SAFER ACTION STREETS PLAN.

IMPROVE THE BIKE LANES.

TWO, REDUCE IT TO ONE VEHICLE LANE AND ONE BIKE LANE AND THREE, SYNCHRONIZE THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC FLOW.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THAT CONCLUDES ALL OF OUR SPEAKERS.

THANK YOU. QUESTIONS.

MR. NORBY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION.

AND I SAW THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES AND INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE IN THE BARRIO, TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS AND PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING.

AND I JUST WANT TO SPECIFICALLY KIND OF FOCUS IN ON DISTRICT 1AND SOME OF THE, I GUESS, NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS AND COMMENTS ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT.

WE HAVEN'T OFTEN TALKED ABOUT IT IN OUR KIND OF EMERGENCY SITUATION HERE BECAUSE THE PROJECT IS ALREADY GOING.

RIGHT. SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING NEW THAT WE HAVE TO DO.

WE HAVE TO WORK ON IT.

THE ACTION THAT THIS COUNCIL TOOK WAS TO EXPEDITE.

I HAVE A QUESTION. OKAY.

YEAH. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IN NO WAY WE ARE SLOWING THAT PROJECT DOWN OR SLOW WALKING THAT DOWN, THAT IT HAS BEEN EXPEDITED AND THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IT.

SO, COUNCILMEMBER, I WOULD INVITE THE TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE ANY FOLLOW UP INFORMATION.

BUT THESE ARE ALL PROJECTS THAT ARE ON THE WAY, THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED, ARE MOVING FORWARD AND OR ARE FUNDED.

GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COUNCILMEMBER NORBY, WE ARE WORKING ON ALL THE PROJECTS WHICH ARE LISTED IN THE OPTION A, WHICH WAS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL.

ONES WHICH WERE MENTIONED THAT WE'RE WORKING ON ACTUALLY RATHER QUICKLY IS TO RESTRIPE THE ARTERIALS, THE EAST-WEST ARTERIALS, WHICH DAVID HAD SHOWN ON THAT HEAT MAP.

SO WE'RE LOOKING TO BRING THAT FORWARD WITHIN SIX MONTHS.

THE ARTERIAL RECONFIGURATIONS WE'RE LOOKING, THE TARGET IS TO BRING THAT OR TO COMPLETE THOSE PROJECTS WITHIN SIX MONTHS.

WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT'S THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF PUBLIC VETTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE ADEQUATE PUBLIC INPUT AND ALL THE GOOD FEEDBACK FROM EXPERIENCED BICYCLISTS LIKE WHAT YOU HEARD TODAY.

SO WE DID HEAR COMMENTS FROM THE GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE REGARDING CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE, AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I WAS ACTUALLY JUST TALKING TO MY STAFF AND OTHER MEMBERS OF STAFF ABOUT EARLIER TODAY.

SO. GREAT COMMENTS.

JUST ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION.

THE TRAVEL LANES, ACTUALLY, HE SAID THEY WERE THREE FEET UNDER WHAT THE GUIDELINES WERE AND AASHTO ACTUALLY HAS GUIDELINES WHICH RANGE BETWEEN NINE AND 12 FEET.

SO THE VEHICLE LANES ARE WITHIN THE GUIDELINES.

THEY ARE VERY NARROW.

WE HAVE A LOT OF SPACE CONSTRAINTS THERE.

AND TO HIS POINT, THE BIKE LANES ARE VERY, VERY NARROW ALONG THERE.

SO WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT WHAT CONFIGURATIONS WILL WORK ALONG THAT ARTERIAL.

ACTUALLY, I CONSIDER THAT A COLLECTOR ARTERIAL.

IT'S LIKE A VILLAGE STREET.

AND WE WILL BRING THAT FORWARD TO THE TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION AND ULTIMATELY TO CITY COUNCIL.

OKAY. SPECIFICALLY, I'M, COUNCIL DURING GOAL SETTING.

ACCELERATED, I GUESS IS THE WORD I WOULD USE THAT THE TRAFFIC CIRCLES AND THE BARRIO IMPROVEMENTS AND THE LIGHTING.

AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE UNDER THIS EMERGENCY ORDINANCE THAT THAT IS NOT TAKING PRECEDENCE OVER THAT PROJECT, THAT THAT PROJECT, WE ARE WORKING.

WE HAVEN'T SLOWED IT DOWN.

IT'S BEING, YOU KNOW, IT'S PROGRESSING DOWN AS.

I KNOW THE LIGHTING IS GOING TO COME FASTER THAN THE INTERSECTIONS, BUT THAT IS NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM BEEN SLOWED DOWN.

[01:30:02]

THAT'S CORRECT.

WE'RE NOT SLOWING DOWN AT ALL WITH THOSE THAT WERE ACCELERATED BY COUNCIL.

THANK YOU. YEAH, YOU'RE WELCOME. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE ONE.

OBVIOUSLY, MANY OF US ARE IN THE VILLAGE, MYSELF MORE.

AT LEAST ONCE A DAY.

SOMETIMES MORE OFTEN.

ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE NOTICED ON BICYCLES, THEY DON'T HAVE REARVIEW MIRRORS OR THEY DON'T HAVE A MIRROR LOOKING TO THE REAR.

IS THERE ANY KIND OF A STATE CODE OR VEHICLE CODE THAT REQUIRES A REAR VIEW MIRROR ON A BICYCLE? IF I MAY, THERE ARE, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S ANY STATE VEHICLE CODES THAT REQUIRE IT.

BICYCLISTS DO ACTUALLY HAVE THE OPTION TO ATTACH MIRRORS, AND YOU WILL SEE SOME THAT DO COME WITH MIRRORS.

IN ADDITION, SOME BICYCLISTS PREFER TO HAVE MIRRORS ATTACHED TO THEIR BIKE HELMETS.

OTHERS DON'T. THEY LIKE TO RELY ON TURNING THEIR HEAD AND GETTING A REAL TIME VIEW OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, NO, I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY VEHICLE CODE REQUIREMENT FOR MIRRORS.

OKAY. AND I JUST CURIOUS.

I MEAN, WHEN I WAS A KID, I HAD ONE ON MY BIKE.

BUT I'VE NOTICED LATELY, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A PERSON RIDING THE BIKE AND TWO LITTLE ONES ON THE BACK.

AND TODAY WHEN WE'RE GOING ALL TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES, YOU KNOW, IT'S HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN SOMEBODY'S BEHIND YOU, ESPECIALLY AT THE ADDITIONAL SPEEDS THAT SOME OF THE STUFF IS? SO I'M JUST THINKING OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT COULD BE SAFETY ASPECTS OF THE BICYCLE AND HELPING TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.

SO JUST BROUGHT IT UP.

SO, DOCTOR.

YES, THANK YOU. JUST QUICKLY TO CLARIFY.

I KNOW YOU WERE SHARING THAT YOU WILL BE BRINGING SOME PLANS FORWARD WITH REGARDS TO CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE TO THE TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION.

SO WOULD IT BE SAFE TO SAY THAT IN THE FUTURE IT WOULD BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PLANNED PROJECTS WITH WITH REGARDS TO THE ONES THAT ARE LISTED HERE ON PAGES NINE ONWARDS? YES. AND ACTUALLY, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT GRAPHIC, I DID NOT INCLUDE THAT SEGMENT THAT WAS WEST OF I-5 ON CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE. BUT WE WILL EXPAND OUR SCOPE FOR THAT CORRIDOR TO INCLUDE THAT SEGMENT.

SO, YEAH, THE COMMENTS ARE WELL RECEIVED AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS PUBLIC COMMENT.

GREAT. THANK YOU. AND THEN ONE LAST QUESTION.

I KNOW WE RECEIVED SOME COMMUNICATIONS FROM AN ORGANIZATION AROUND THE LICENSING.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW THAT, BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF YOU COULD MAKE SOME COMMENTS AROUND WHAT OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH REGARDS TO THAT.

I KNOW THEY MENTIONED IT'S A BARRIER FOR FOLKS.

AND SO I WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, I READ THAT TODAY.

I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT OUR TAKE WAS ON IT FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE.

I MAY ASK THE ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF TO COME UP AND AND TALK TO THAT ISSUE, BECAUSE I.

YEAH. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL.

SO ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WE'RE LOOKING INTO AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS PARTNERING WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO HOPEFULLY CREATE A CERTIFICATION PROGRAM WITH ALL THE STUDENTS THAT WOULD LIKE TO RIDE THEIR BIKES TO SCHOOL AND HOPEFULLY PARTNER WITH THEM TO CREATE A CERTIFICATION PROGRAM.

WE ARE LOOKING INTO IT WITH ATTORNEYS, OBVIOUSLY, AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THEIR LEGAL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

THANK YOU. I KNOW.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW IT AND TOTALLY FINE IF WE DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER TO IT TONIGHT.

I JUST LOVE TO JUST FLAG IT.

I KNOW THERE WAS AN ORGANIZATION THAT WROTE IN SAYING, YOU KNOW, YEARS AGO THERE WERE A SIMILAR CONTROVERSY OVER WHETHER IT WOULD CREATE A BARRIER FOR FOLKS OR NOT.

I PERSONALLY, PERSONALLY I'M SUPPORTIVE BECAUSE I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE FOLKS HAVE, GO THROUGH A TRAINING COURSE, GET SOME SORT OF CERTIFICATION, AND THEN WE HOPEFULLY CAN KNOW THAT THEY'VE PASSED SOME LEVEL OF SAFETY SIMILAR TO WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING A VEHICLE.

I THINK THE CONCERN THAT I SAW AND MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT OTHERS SHARE, IS THAT IT CREATES A BARRIER FOR FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO GET AROUND. AND MAYBE IT'LL HAVE, WE'LL SEE A HUGE DROP OFF IN TERMS OF FOLKS UTILIZING THIS OTHER MODE OF TRANSIT.

SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF WE HAVE THOUGHTS AROUND THAT.

THAT WAS THE MAIN SENTIMENT THAT I SAW FROM THE LETTER.

SURE. IF I'M UNDERSTANDING THE POTENTIAL BARRIER QUESTION, SOMETHING THAT WE'RE DOING AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO TRY TO HELP GET PEOPLE TRAINED IN IT SO THAT THEY CAN BE CERTIFIED.

WE HAVE SENT POLICE OFFICERS TO A CLASS SO THAT THEY CAN BECOME CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS AND THEN WE CAN PROVIDE THE CLASS TO PEOPLE FOR FREE.

SO THEY, WE THINK WE HAVE SEVEN OFFICERS THAT HAVE ATTENDED SO FAR.

THEY HAVE TO GO TO AN ADDITIONAL SYMPOSIUM, WHICH WE ARE SCHEDULING SO THAT THEY CAN GET THE OFFICIAL MASTER INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATE.

HOPEFULLY THAT WILL MITIGATE THE BARRIERS SPEAKING TO AND ALLOW PEOPLE TO GO THROUGH THIS CLASS FOR FREE.

[01:35:05]

PERFECT. AND I THINK THAT'S EXACTLY SOMETHING THAT IF IF THERE IS A WAY FOR US TO, WHENEVER WE GET TO THAT POINT, COMMUNICATE IT VERY CLEARLY THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL BE OFFERED THROUGH THE SCHOOLS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SCHOOLS, BECAUSE OTHERWISE I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE THOUGHTS WAS, OKAY, WELL, NOW IF THERE'S AN EXTRA BURDEN ON PARENTS OR WHATEVER ELSE TO GO FIND THIS PARTICULAR COURSE, THERE MIGHT BE A HUGE DROP OFF FOR SOME FOLKS.

AND SO I APPRECIATE THAT EXTRA CLARITY.

THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.

FINAL COMMENTS.

COUNCIL MEMBER ACOSTA. YES, I JUST WANT TO THANK STAFF AND ALL THE MANY STAFF.

I KNOW THERE'S ONLY TWO SITTING HERE RIGHT NOW IN FRONT OF US WHO MADE THE PRESENTATION, BUT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WORKED ON THIS.

NOT LEAST OF WHICH IS MR. FRANK, OUR TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO CAME TOGETHER AND THOUGHT OF ALL THE DIFFERENT POSSIBLE WAYS THAT WE COULD HELP ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEMS. AND I DO THINK THE DATA INFORMED APPROACH IS THE BEST.

I SOMETIMES WONDER IF WE'RE COLLECTING ENOUGH DATA, ESPECIALLY IN MY AREA IN DISTRICT FOUR, I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD AND RECEIVED PUBLIC INPUT FROM NEIGHBORS AND MY COMMUNITY, BUT I DON'T ALWAYS SEE IT ON THE HEAT MAP.

SO I SOMETIMES I'M WONDERING LIKE, DO THEY NOT HAVE ENOUGH SENSORS OR HOW ARE THEY NOT SEEING WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING REGULARLY? SO I'M GLAD TO SEE THE ADDITIONAL DATA COLLECTION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER AGENCIES, OTHER LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT EVEN.

SO, THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO DO THAT AND I VERY MUCH SUPPORT THE DATA INFORMED APPROACH.

THANKS. DOCTOR.

YES, THANK YOU. I ALSO JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE ON THIS.

I DO THINK THERE HAS BEEN AN IMPACT OVERALL.

YOU KNOW, DEFINITELY WE CAN SEE THAT FROM THE NUMBERS.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, JUST WALKING AROUND AND JUST BIKING AROUND, I CAN SEE A DIFFERENCE.

I THINK DEFINITELY I CONTINUE TO ASK FELLOW RESIDENTS TO BE MINDFUL WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY JUST NO DISTRACTED DRIVING IS, YOU KNOW, 100% OF THE TIME BECAUSE THAT'S DEFINITELY WHERE WE'RE SEEING A MAJORITY OF, YOU KNOW, AND I THINK WE SAW THAT THROUGH THE CITATIONS, A MAJORITY OF THE TIME WHERE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING. SO, AS A PERSON WHO WALKS AROUND A LOT, I DEFINITELY DO DOUBLE TAKES TO MAKE SURE NO ONE'S GOING TO, YOU KNOW, ACCIDENTALLY COME OUT AND HIT ME. AND SO DEFINITELY I CAN SAY THAT THAT'S HAPPENED AT VERY, VERY FREQUENTLY AT DIFFERENT INTERSECTIONS WHERE I'VE HAD TO STOP MYSELF BECAUSE I SEE SOMEONE TEXTING AND DRIVING. SO I KNOW THAT'S NOT UNIQUE AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ESPECIALLY IN AND AROUND OUR SCHOOLS, THAT FOLKS ARE BEING VERY, VERY SAFE AND OF COURSE, THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT IS SO IMPERATIVE THAT WE ALL WORK TOGETHER ON THIS AND REALLY APPRECIATE, AGAIN, ALL THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE.

THANK YOU. AND JUST ONE FINAL COMMENT.

I KNOW CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE IS A FOCAL POINT.

JUST A POINT OF INTEREST.

IF AND WHEN THE 78/5 INTERCHANGE GETS BUILT, WE LOSE THE LOST FLOORS OFF RAMP.

SO EVERYTHING GOING OFF LESS FLOORS ALSO HAS TO GO ON CARLSBAD VILLAGE DRIVE.

SO THAT PRESENTS SOME REAL ENGINEERING CHALLENGES AS WE LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE.

SO. MR. BLACKBURN.

MOVE ADOPTION OF THE RESOLUTION CONTAINED IN AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 11.

SECOND. PLEASE VOTE.

AND IT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.

[12. AGREEMENT WITH PSOMAS, INC. FOR IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES AND AGREEMENT WITH CARTEGRAPH SYSTEMS, LLC FOR SOFTWARE LICENSING AND MAINTENANCE OF THE CARTEGRAPH OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE]
