          WONDERFUL. 
          WE ARE NOW GOING TO MOVE ON TO PUBLIC HEARINGS AND MATTERS OF CONSIDERATION FOR THAT. 
          WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT MEETING ITEM THREE. 
          AND MY GOD, THAT IS A LONG TITLE FOR A SESSION ITEM. 
          YOU HAVE  HMM. 
          MINUTES. 
          I COMPLETELY MISSED THAT.

          OKAY. 
          NOW WE WILL MOVE 
          [PUBLIC HEARINGS AND MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION]
ON TO PUBLIC HEARINGS AND MATTERS OF CONSIDERATION. 
          AND WITH THAT, WE WILL TALK ABOUT MEETING ITEM THREE, WHICH IS A FAIRLY LONG STUDY SESSION AS WE MOVE IN TO DISCUSS FURTHER GENERAL PLAN FRAMEWORKS. 
          AND WITH THAT, I WILL HAND THIS OVER TO STAFF TO BEGIN PRESENTATION. 
          GOOD EVENING COMMISSIONERS, HEATHER HINES, SPECIAL PROJECTS MANAGER. 
          UM, HAPPY TO BE BACK BEFORE YOU AND JUST EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR THESE BACK-TO-BACK MEETINGS. 
          UM, I KNOW THIS IS A BIG LIFT AND MUCH APPRECIATED. 
          SO THIS EVENING WE'RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THREE FRAMEWORKS, FLOOD RESILIENCE, NATURAL RESOUR, NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          UH, THIS IS JUST PROOF THAT WE'VE BEEN HERE BACK TO BACK. 
          UM, SO THIS IS OUR REALLY OUR THIRD MEETING. 
          UH, AND WE'VE GOT TWO MORE AHEAD OF US, UM, WORKING THROUGH THESE FRAMEWORKS. 
          SO, UM, THIS JUST LOOKS AT THE OUTLINE OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY. 
          UM, AND THIS IS ANOTHER, UM, EVENING WHERE WE'LL DO PRESENTATIONS AND ALSO HEAR FROM AD HOCS, UM, ON SOME OF THESE FRAMEWORKS. 
          NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. 
          UM, WE DID SHIFT THE ORDER AROUND A LITTLE BIT. 
          UM, THE AD HOC THAT IS LOOKING AT FLOOD RESILIENCE, WHICH IS A VERY MEATY FRAMEWORK TO SAY THE LEAST, IS THE AD HOC THAT HAS LOST A COUPLE MEMBERS, UM, FROM THE MEMBERS THAT HAVE STEPPED DOWN RECENTLY. 
          SO, UM, THE COMMENTS ON FLOOD RESILIENCE AREN'T QUITE PRIME TIME. 
          SO WE SHIFTED THIS UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA START WITH, UM, SEBASTIAN, UM, IS HERE FROM SHERWOOD, UM, TO DO THE OVERVIEW OF THE FLOOD RESILIENCE POLICY FRAMEWORK. 
          PROVIDE SOME OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMISSION TO ASK QUESTIONS WHILE, WHILE HE IS HERE WITH HIS EXPERTISE. 
          UM, AND DO SOME, UH, IF THERE'S SOME INITIAL, UM, COMMISSIONER COMMENT AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          BUT WE WILL FOLLOW THIS ITEM UP WITH THE AD HOCS PRESENTATION ON THIS FRAMEWORK ON JUNE 25TH. 
          SO IT WILL BE A GOOD START AND A GOOD CONVERSATION AND IMMEDIATE OVERVIEW. 
          AND THEN WE WILL RETURN TO IT ON THE 25TH. 
          WE WILL THEN HAVE A PRESENTATION, UM, BY DELLA WITH RCON ABOUT NATURAL, 
          [00:05:01]
OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK CONSULTANT WILL PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW. 
          THE AD HOC WILL PROVIDE THEIR PRESENTATION, ANY CLARIFYING QUESTIONS. 
          WE'LL THEN DO THE SAME WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE POLICY FRAMEWORK. 
          AND RON WHITMORE FROM RAMEY WILL, UM, BE DOING THAT PRESENTATION. 
          AND THEN WE'LL BREAK FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON BOTH OF THOSE POLICY FRAMEWORKS BEFORE COMING BACK FOR COMMISSIONER COMMENT. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS THIS EVENING. 
          UM, AND I'M NOW GONNA TURN IT OVER TO RON WHITMORE, PRINCIPAL WITH RAMEY. 
          UM, AND MAY BE FEELING LIKE HE'S BECOMING YOUR BEST BUDDY WITH HOW MUCH YOU'RE SEEING HIM. 
          UM, AND HE'S GONNA KIND OF TEE IT UP, UM, BEFORE HANDING IT OVER, UM, TO SEBASTIAN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH, HEATHER. 
          UH, GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY. 
          GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. 
          UH, SORRY THAT I COULDN'T BE THERE IN PERSON THIS EVENING. 
          UM, BUT HAPPY TO BE JOINING YOU BY ZOOM. 
          UM, I'M JUST GONNA DO A FEW QUICK, UM, UPDATED, UH, SLIDES AND THEN HAND IT OVER TO SEBASTIAN REAL QUICK. 
          UM, JUST A REMINDER, UM, WE ARE ASKING, UH, ALL CCBS, INCLUDING THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO PLEASE PROVIDE US COMMENT IN, UH, WRITTEN FORMAT. 
          UM, YOUR, THE PC IS PARTICULARLY WELL ORGANIZED IN THIS REGARD, UM, AROUND USING AD HOCS TO REVIEW SPECIFIC FRAMEWORKS. 
          WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR DEEP DIVE ON THE POLICY FRAMEWORKS. 
          UM, THAT BEING SAID, UM, THERE ARE ALSO OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL COMMENT. 
          AND SO IF YOU HAVE, UM, ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON ANY OF THE FRAMEWORKS, WHETHER THOSE ARE BEING REVIEWED IN DEPTH BY AD HOCS OR NOT, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE DO PROVIDE THOSE BY JUNE 30. 
          UM, AND THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WAYS TO DO THAT. 
          THE FIRST IS THE REVIEW FORMS THAT YOU'VE BEEN PROVIDED. 
          UM, WE'RE ALWAYS HAPPY TO ACCEPT COMMENT IN THOSE FORMS. UM, I THINK YOU'VE BEEN PROVIDED WORD MICROSOFT WORD VERSIONS OF THOSE, SO RETURNING THOSE WOULD BE GREAT. 
          OTHERWISE, YOU CAN ALSO PROVIDE FEEDBACK DIRECTLY ONLINE ON ANY FRAMEWORK. 
          UM, AND THIS PORTAL IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND EASY TO USE. 
          YOU CAN SPECIFY THE FRAMEWORK, THE GOAL, THE POLICY THAT YOU'D LIKE TO PROVIDE SPECIFIC FEEDBACK ON, AND THEN SUBMIT THAT ELECTRONICALLY FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME. 
          UM, AND THEN FINALLY, JUST BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO SEBASTIAN, UM, AS IS THE CASE WITH ALL THE FRAMEWORKS, WE'RE VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE MOST IMPORTANT. 
          UM, LIKEWISE, IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT ANY SPECIFIC POLICIES, WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN KNOWING ABOUT THOSE. 
          AND THEN FOR THE TOPICS COVERED TONIGHT, UM, THERE ARE SOME SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. 
          THE ONE RELATED TO NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. 
          WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN PEOPLE'S FEEDBACK ON WHERE URBAN FORESTRY AND TREES SHOULD LIVE WITHIN THE POLICY FRAMEWORKS. 
          THEY'RE CURRENTLY CONSOLIDATED WITHIN THE PARKS FRAMEWORK. 
          SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT'S A BAD IDEA. 
          THEY BELONG BACK IN THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, UH, FRAMEWORK. 
          AND SO WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN ANY THOUGHTS YOU HAVE IN THAT REGARD. 
          LIKEWISE, WITH ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, WHICH IS THE THIRD TOPIC WE'RE COVERING THIS EVENING, UM, WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN WHETHER OR NOT YOU THINK THE ANALYTICAL PROCESS WE USE TO IDENTIFY EQUITY PRIORITY AREAS OR DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES, UM, HITS THE SPOT AND WHETHER MAYBE THERE'S OTHER AREAS WITHIN THE CITY THAT, UM, ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACTS FROM ENVIRONMENTAL, UH, AND HEALTH FACTORS THAT WE SHOULD BE CONSIDERING. 
          LIKEWISE, WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN WHETHER YOU THINK THE FRAMEWORK AS WRITTEN SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSES CHALLENGES THAT RESIDENTS FACE RELATED TO THEIR EXPOSURE TO POLLUTION, UM, HEALTH, SOCIAL, AND OTHER, UM, UH, UH, VULNERABILITIES THAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING WITHIN THE CITY. 
          SO IF YOU COULD KEEP THOSE COM THOSE QUESTIONS IN MIND WHEN YOU'RE CONSIDERING YOUR COMMENT, THAT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. 
          AND AS HEATHER NOTED, I'LL NOW PASS IT OFF TO SEBASTIAN WHO'S GONNA GIVE YOU A SLIGHTLY MORE DETAILED THAN USUAL, UH, OVERVIEW OF THE FLOOD RESILIENCE FRAMEWORK BECAUSE IT IS QUITE DENSE. 
          AND THEN, AS HEATHER NOTED, WE'LL PAUSE FOR QUESTIONS, PUBLIC COMMENT, AND THEN ANY INITIAL COMMISSIONER COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE FOR US THIS EVENING. 
          SO, SEBASTIAN, THANKS RON. 
          UM, IF YOU COULD GO TO THAT NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA GO QUICK THROUGH, UM, SOME MATERIAL THAT YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE, WE'LL JUST BLITZ THROUGH JUST AS THE REFRESHER. 
          UM, WE HAVE COMPOUND FLOOD HAZARDS IN THE CITY, RIGHT? WE'VE GOT RAINFALL, FLOODING COMING DOWN, NEXT SLIDE. 
          AND THEN WE HAVE THESE INCREASINGLY SEVERE STORM SURGES COMING UP, EXACERBATED BY, UH, SEA LEVEL RISE AND CLIMATE CHANGE. 
          NEXT, WE'VE CURRENTLY TO DATE, DONE WHAT MOST JURISDICTIONS DO, WHICH IS RELY ON THE FEMA FIRM MAPS TO 
          [00:10:01]
PRO PROVIDE A PLANNING TOOL. 
          AND THE, THE V THAT WAS UNDERSTANDABLE 'CAUSE THEY WERE THE RESOURCE THAT WAS AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE NATIONWIDE. 
          BUT THEY'RE REALLY NOT INTENDED AS PLANNING TOOLS. 
          THEY'RE INTENDED AS INSURANCE RATE MAPS. 
          THEY ASSESS CURRENT HAZARD. 
          UM, AND FOR PLANNING, WE ARE WANTING TO LOOK AT FUTURE HAZARD. 
          NEXT PAGE, HENCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF, UH, ADDITIONAL MAP PRODUCTS TO, UH, LOOK FOR FUTURE. 
          AND AS YOU GUYS SEE, REMEMBER FROM THE LAST PRESENTATION, UH, A RATHER COMPREHENSIVE FLOOD MODEL UPDATE WAS PERFORMED USING THE MOST UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION. 
          WE, WE HAD, UH, ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO AND DEVELOPED A REALLY SPECIFIC TO PETALUMA VERY DETAILED MAP OF DIFFERENT FUTURE SCENARIOS. 
          NEXT, UH, WE CAN SKIP NEXT THAT OUTPUT, THESE MAPS THAT YOU'VE SEEN. 
          AND WE'RE GONNA GO INTO THE POLICIES. 
          YOU'LL SEE WHERE THESE COME UP AND HOW THEY START BEING USED. 
          BUT WE HAVE DIFFERENT MAPS FOR DIFFERENT SCENARIOS OF THE THREE MAIN TYPES OF FLOODING THAT WE GET, RAINFALL, FLOODING, STORM SURGE FLOODING, AND KING TIDE INUNDATION. 
          AND WE HAVE THEM CURRENTLY AT THREE FUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIOS. 
          1.9 FEET. 
          NEXT 3.4 FEET. 
          OH, THERE'S THE 1.9 KING TIDE NEXT, THE 3.4 RAINFALL STORM SURGE, THAT 1% FLOODS AND THE 3.4 KING TIDE. 
          AND THEN FINALLY THE REALLY SCARY ONES, THE END OF CENTRALLY VERY LOW PROBABILITY SCENARIOS OF UP TO 6.9 FEET. 
          UM, NEXT AND ZOOM INS ARE AVAILABLE, UM, AS YOU'LL, AS YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE, IN THE FRAMEWORK. 
          THEY'RE VERY SMALL. 
          UM, THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN INTENDED TO BE A DIGITAL PRODUCT AVAILABLE ON THE CITI WEBSITE THAT CAN BE ZOOMED IN DOWN TO THE PARCEL SCALE. 
          NEXT, WE CAN SKIP THROUGH THESE. 
          UM, SO THE, THE KEY INPUT THAT WE GOT EARLY IN THE PROCESS, UM, EVEN BEFORE THE WHITE PAPER, WAS THAT THERE'S SIGNIFICANT COMMUNITY AND STAFF INTEREST IN, UH, DOING MORE THAN JUST WHAT OTHER JURISDICTIONS HAVE BEEN DOING. 
          REALLY SETTING THIS NEW STA STANDARD OF FUTURE PLANNING DECISIONS ARE DONE WITH FUTURE CONDITIONS IN MIND. 
          AND THAT REALLY INSTIGATED, UH, A SIGNIFICANT REWORK OF PREVIOUS GENERAL PLAN FLOOD CONSIDERATIONS TO, TO SAY HOW DO YOU INCORPORATE BOTH THE NEEDS OF CURRENT, WHAT WE NEED NOW TO PROTECT AND TO DEVELOP WITHOUT ENCUMBERING THE ABILITY TO ADAPT IN THE FUTURE, HENCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF WHAT IS TO BE FAIR. 
          PRETTY COMPLEX MAP PRODUCTS, PRETTY COMPLEX CONVERSATIONS AROUND PROBABILITY, UH, AND, UM, AND APPROPRIATENESS OF DIFFERENT MAP PRODUCTS. 
          AND THAT'S REALLY COMING FROM THOSE FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES THAT WE GOT FROM THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO WE'RE ABOUT TO GO INTO THE GOALS. 
          I'D LIKE TO PAUSE QUICK AND JUST REITERATE THE FOUNDATIONAL ETHOS OF THIS PROCESS THAT WE'RE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK TO IS THIS NOTION OF THERE ARE CURRENT FLOOD RISKS THAT WE NEED TO BE SAFE TO NOW. 
          AND WE NEED TO DO THAT IN A WAY THAT'S NOT IN ENCUMBERING, OUR ABILITY TO DO WHAT WE NEED NOW. 
          BECAUSE SOMETIMES, UH, FLOOD PROTECTION, UH, AND OTHER COMMUNITY GOALS LIKE RIVER ACCESS OR URBAN INFO, THERE'S POSSIBILITIES THAT THESE THINGS COME INTO CONFLICT. 
          SO THERE'S AN IMMEDIATE NEED TO PROTECT OURSELVES AGAINST THE CURRENT HAZARD. 
          THERE'S ALSO THIS NEED TO PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY AND PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO BE SAFE AS THESE CONDITIONS CHANGE. 
          THOSE APPS THAT YOU'VE SEEN ARE PROJECTIONS OF FUTURE POTENTIAL IMPACT. 
          THEY'RE NOT GUARANTEED TO HAPPEN. 
          IN FACT, THEY'RE ALL LOW OR VERY LOW PROBABILITY THAT THEY WILL HAPPEN. 
          THEY'RE USING VERY CONSERVATIVE, PLAY IT SAFE SORT OF PROJECTIONS. 
          THEY CAN HAPPEN. 
          THEY'RE ALSO CONSERVATIVE IN THAT THEY'RE ASSUMING WE'RE DOING NOTHING IN THE INTERVENING DECADES TO ADDRESS THOSE POSSIBLE FLOOD CONDITIONS. 
          SO THOSE MAPS ARE NOT INTENDED TO SAY WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING TO ADDRESS THAT HAZARD. 
          RIGHT NOW, THE CHALLENGE OF SETTING UP THIS FRAMEWORK IS HOW DO WE PROVIDE FOR DEFINITE AND RELIABLE PROTECTION TO CURRENT AND NEAR TERM HAZARDS AND A PATHWAY THAT LETS US ADAPT OVER THE DECADES TO THESE LONGER TERM HAZARDS AS THEY'RE COMING TO US. 
          WE DON'T NEED TO BUILD THE FLOOD PROTECTIONS FOR THE END OF CENTURY YET. 
          WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT. 
          AND IN FACT, IT WOULD BE A VERY BAD IDEA 'CAUSE IT WOULD COME AT THE COST OF OTHER THINGS THE CITY'S TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. 
          BUT WE DO NEED TO LAY OUT THE, THE REGULATIONS AND THE ACTIONS SO THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADAPT TO THOSE. 
          [00:15:01]
SO THIS ENTIRE FRAMEWORK, AND THERE'S A SECTION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FRAMEWORK, THIS DISCUSSING IT, IS THIS NOTION OF THE ADAPTATION, THE ADAPTATION PATHWAY THAT SAYS WE DON'T NEED TO DO EVERYTHING NOW. 
          IN FACT, WE CAN'T AND SHOULDN'T DO EVERYTHING NOW. 
          WE NEED TO DO THE RIGHT THINGS NOW SO THAT WE LEAVE OURSELVES THE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO DO IN THE FUTURE. 
          AND THAT'S THE OVERALL ETHOS HERE IS BUILD AND BE SAFE. 
          NOW LEAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND PROVIDE THE PATHWAY TO BE SAFE LATER AS CONDITIONS CHANGE. 
          SO ON PAGE 12 OF THE PATHWAYS, THIS DIAGRAM THAT TRIES TO  TRIES TO BOIL SOMETHING DOWN, UH, UH, COULD USE SOME MORE BOILING. 
          AND OVERALL, WE'VE BROKEN THIS DOWN INTO SEVEN GOALS. 
          THAT LOWEST ONE. 
          GOAL NUMBER SEVEN IS REALLY ONE ABOUT ENGAGEMENT, AND THEREFORE IT, IT'S NOT IN ANY WAY SEQUENTIAL. 
          IT'S HAPPENING CONTINUOUSLY. 
          THE OTHER GOALS CAN BE SOMEWHAT THOUGHT OF AS SEQUENTIAL, THOUGH THE REALITY IS WE'VE DONE SOME OF THE LATER, UH, ACTIONS ALREADY. 
          THEY WERE CRITICAL STEPS LIKE THIS FLOOD MODELING. 
          SO THIS IS NOT, THESE ARE NOT LAID OUT IN TERMS OF THE MONTHS IN WHICH THE CITY WILL UNDERTAKE THESE ACTIONS. 
          THEY'RE LAID OUT BASICALLY IN THE FLOOD ADAPTATION PROCESS, WHICH IS STARTING FROM GIRL ONE, MAKE SURE YOU'RE SAFE TO WHAT THE FLOOD IS RIGHT NOW. 
          SO YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE FLOOD IS AND YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO, UH, HOW TO BE SAFE AGAINST IT. 
          TWO, TWO, YOU NEED TO DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM. 
          YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE FUTURE FLOOD. 
          AND THAT'S WHERE WE COME INTO SOME OF THESE, UM, MAPPING EFFORTS THAT WE'VE DONE AND MAPPING EFFORTS THAT ARE STILL TO COME. 
          THREE IS KIND OF THE GENERAL PLAN OF FLOOD ADAPTATION, THE FLOOD ADAPTATION MASTER PLAN, WHICH IS TAKING THE CITY LEVEL, BUT ZOOMING IN WITH ENOUGH ENGINEERING AND COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT THAT YOU ACTUALLY ARE DEVELOPING, UH, LOCALIZED PLANS FOR FLOOD ADAPTATION. 
          FOUR, WE GET INTO, WE WANT TO PREEMPTIVELY PREPARE FOR FLOODS, NOT JUST TO PROTECT THEM, BUT ALSO THE REALITY IS WE WILL HAVE FLOOD IMPACTS AND THERE'S THINGS WE CAN DO AHEAD OF TIME SO THAT, UM, WE RESPOND TO THOSE FLOOD IMPACTS MORE RESPONSIBLY. 
          AND NUMBER FIVE, YOU'RE LOOKING TO, UM, HOW DO WE, AS WE'RE BUILDING WITHIN THE CITY, UH, HOW ARE YOU INCORPORATING THESE FUTURE CONDITIONS AS GUIDANCE AND AS REGULATORY TOOLS FOR, UH, CURRENT CONSTRUCTION. 
          AND IN SIX, IT'S ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT, UH, FLOOD PROTECTION AND CITY EFFORTS. 
          NAMELY, HOW DO YOU INCORPORATE FUTURE FLOOD SAFETY INTO CITY CIP, UH, AND INTO THE CITY LED AND COUNTY LED FLOOD CONTROL EFFORTS. 
          SO NEXT UP, WE'LL JUST GO THROUGH THIS QUICK. 
          UM, SOME OF THESE POLICIES, UH, YOU'VE SEEN, UH, HAVE ONE ACTION. 
          SOME OF THEM HAVE MULTIPLE ACTIONS AND MULTIPLE PAGES OF EXPLANATORY CONTENT. 
          UM, THIS IS A REALLY TECHNICALLY HEAVY FRAMEWORK. 
          UM, WE'VE TRIED TO REDUCE IT WHERE POSSIBLE, BUT, UH, THERE ARE CERTAIN AREAS THAT WE THOUGHT WERE VERY IMPORTANT TO ACTUALLY EXPLAIN THE TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOME OF THESE POLICIES AND LAY OUT THE, UH, THE MENTAL PROCESS AND THE KIND OF ETHOS THAT'S BEHIND THEM. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF EXPLANATORY CONTENT THAT DESCRIBES, WELL, WHAT STANDARD, YOU KNOW, WHAT REFERENCE DID WE USE? WHO DECIDED THESE NUMBERS? UH, WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL PROCESS SO THAT 10, 15 YEARS DOWN THE LINE, UM, WHEN MAPS ARE BEING ADJUSTED OR POLICIES ARE BEING ADJUSTED, UH, IT TRIES TO BE CLEAR, WHY DID WE LAND WHERE WE DID? SO, UH, JUST LOOKING AT THE POLICIES FOR NOW, GOAL NUMBER ONE, SAY FROM THE CURRENT FLOODS. 
          WHAT THIS IS, IS BASICALLY LET'S UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CURRENT FLOOD CONDITION IS AND LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE EXCEEDING WHAT FEMA CURRENTLY REQUIRES, AND LET'S USE THAT UNDERSTANDING TO REDUCE THE CURRENT RISK WE HAVE OF FLOODING. 
          THE BIG CHANGE HERE, AND IT'S A RATHER SIZABLE CHANGE, IS THAT WHERE BEFORE WE ONLY USED FIRM MAPS, WE ONLY USE THE FEMA PROVIDED MAPS. 
          UH, WHAT POLICY 1.1 DOES IS SAY THE CITY, UH, WILL PROACTIVELY UPDATE ITS MAPS INDEPENDENT OF FEMA. 
          AND IT CAN USE THOSE MAPS AS REGULATORY TOOLS BEFORE THEY GO THROUGH FEMA PROCESS. 
          THAT IS NOT TO SAY THEY REPLACE FEMA. 
          YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN'T. 
          UH, WE ALWAYS NEED TO EXCEED FEMA STANDARDS. 
          SINCE YOU'LL SEE LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT REALLY SPECIFIES WHEN THERE ARE TWO STANDARDS THAT DISAGREE, WE WILL ALWAYS TAKE THE HIGHER OF THEM. 
          WHAT THIS LETS US DO IS LEAPFROG THE FEMA APPROVAL PROCESS, WHICH 
          [00:20:01]
IS LENGTHY AND COSTLY AND PROBABLY WILL NOT CONTINUE TO BE DONE AT THE RATE THAT CITI WANTS TO UPDATE. 
          ITS UNDERSTANDING OF MODELING. 
          SO WHAT THIS DOES, LETS US DO IS SET A STANDARD FOR, OKAY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUILD RIGHT NOW, YOU NEED TO LOOK AT FEMA LIKE YOU ALWAYS HAVE, BUT YOU'RE ALSO GONNA LOOK AT THESE OTHER MAP PRODUCTS THAT THE CITY HAS DEVELOPED, AND YOU'RE GONNA MAKE SURE TO BE ABOVE BOTH. 
          THE OTHER BIG CHANGE THAT HAPPENS HERE IS SOMETHING OF A SIMPLIFICATION OF SOME OF THE BUILDING STANDARDS, BUT SIMPLIFIED BY RAISING EVERYTHING UP TO THE SAME BAR. 
          AND THAT IS BY SETTING A STANDARD, THAT NEW CONSTRUCTION, THE FINISHED FLOOR ELEVATION, THE, THE LEVEL OF THE FIRST OCCUPIED SPACE HAS TO BE AT LEAST TWO FEET ABOVE THE FLOOD LEVEL RATHER THAN, UH, IN PORTIONS OF THE CITY. 
          RIGHT NOW IT'S ONE FOOT AND IN PORTIONS IT'S TWO FEET. 
          WE'RE PROPOSING TO LIFT THAT ALL THE WAY TO TWO. 
          WHAT THAT DOES IS BUY YOU SOME EXTRA, UH, TIME. 
          AND IT ALSO APPRECIATES THAT THE LOWER PARTS OF THE CITY, DOWN DOWN RIVER CLOSER TO THE BAY, UH, HAVE THIS GROWING THREAT FROM SEA LEVEL RISE. 
          AND THAT POLICY TRIES TO, UH, UH, HELP ALLEVIATE THAT. 
          IN GOAL NUMBER TWO, WE START LOOKING AT THE FUTURE FLOOD. 
          UH, 2.1 SAYS, LET'S KEEP UP WITH THE MOST UP-TO-DATE SCIENCE. 
          UH, 2.2 SAYS, LET'S USE THAT TO UPDATE THIS FLOOD MODEL. 
          NOW YOU NOTICE WE'VE GONE OUT OF ORDER. 
          WE DID THE FLOOD MODEL, UM, 'CAUSE WE NEEDED IT. 
          SO WE HAVE THIS FLOOD MODEL AND WE'RE LAYING OUT SOME ACTIONS IN THERE TO IMPROVE IT AS WE GET NEW DATA, FOR EXAMPLE, NEW PRECIPITATION DATA, UM, THESE PREDICTIONS THAT RAINFALL IS GETTING MORE INTENSE, LOOKING TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE MODEL. 
          AND THEN ALSO WE GET NEW, UH, CLIMATE NEW SEA LEVEL RISE PREDICTIONS FROM THE STATE EVERY FOUR TO FIVE YEARS. 
          SO LET'S CONTINUE TO INCORPORATE THOSE. 
          AND AGAIN, LET THAT BE A TOOL THAT THE CITY CAN DO INDEPENDENTLY AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL, UH, STAKEHOLDERS AND AGENCIES LIKE BCDC. 
          AND LET'S NOT BE BEHOLDEN TO A FEDERAL PRODUCT THAT IS ALWAYS BEHIND, UH, IN THE SCIENCE. 
          NEXT IN THREE, WE GET INTO THIS FLOOD ADAPTATION MASTER PLAN. 
          THE DOCUMENT THAT, UH, I THINK WE ALL WISH WE COULD MAGICALLY ALREADY HAVE DONE. 
          UM, WHAT THIS IS, IS, IS APPRECIATING THAT, UH, WE DON'T WANT TO SOLVE FLOOD HAZARD IN THE CITY PARCEL BY PARCEL. 
          SOMETIMES WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO IT THAT WAY. 
          WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO LOOK AT INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS AND SAY, THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE HIGHER, UM, OR THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED. 
          BUT THAT'S NOT HOW WE WANNA DO EVERYTHING. 
          WE WANNA TAKE A MORE INTEGRATED, MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH THAT LOOKS AT THE WHOLE CITY AND SAYS, OKAY, IN WHAT PARTS OF THE CITY DO WE WANT TO PROTECT WITH PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE? WHAT PARTS OF THE CITY DO WE WANT TO BE ADAPTABLE? MEANING, UH, THE BUILDINGS ARE RESISTANT TO FLOOD OR THEY'RE RAISED, UM, AND WHAT PARTS OF THE CITY DO WE WANT TO PRIORITIZE FOR REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN HARM'S WAY THROUGH TDR OR, OR PURCHASE OR OTHER MEANS? AND THAT FLOOD ADAPTATION MASTER PLAN IS REALLY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THOSE THINGS. 
          UM, THE, THE DEVELOPING THE REGIONAL SOLUTIONS. 
          AND AGAIN, THAT'S NOT TO SAY WHAT GETS BUILT NOW, MOST OF THESE FUTURE FLOOD PROTECTIONS TO ADDRESS THOSE SCARY LOOKING MAPS OF SIGNIFICANT SEA LEVEL RISE. 
          MOST OF THOSE EFFORTS DON'T HAVE TO HAPPEN FOR DECADES. 
          BUT THERE IS SOME AMOUNT OF PLANNING THAT WE WANNA GET AHEAD OF RIGHT NOW. 
          FOR EXAMPLE, WE KNOW WE DON'T NEED TO BUILD IT FOR A VERY LONG TIME, BUT MAYBE WE WANT TO KNOW WHERE IT'S GONNA GET BUILT SO WE CAN START, UM, DEVELOP A POLICY TO PROTECT THAT AREA AND HAVE IT BE AVAILABLE 50 YEARS FROM NOW WHEN WE NEED IT. 
          ANOTHER PART OF THE FLOOD ADAPTATION MASTER PLAN IS UPDATE TO THE LHMP, UH, THE LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, ALL OF OUR PLANNING DOCUMENTS AND OUR ASSESSMENTS OF HAZARD ARE USING THE SAME, UH, MAPPING AND, AND, UH, PROJECTIONS. 
          NUMBER FOUR, UH, FLOOD RECOVERY. 
          UH, AGAIN, THIS IS LOOKING AT, UM, WE KNOW THAT IN CRISIS POST FLOOD IS NOT THE TIME TO BE, UH, TRYING TO, UM, TRYING TO LOOK 10, 20 YEARS DOWN THE LINE BECAUSE WE'RE VERY MUCH IN A DAY-TO-DAY RESPONSE. 
          AND SO IN GOAL FOUR, WE'RE TRYING TO LAY OUT SOME POLICIES AND ACTIONS SO THAT WE CAN PREEMPTIVELY MAKE SOME PLANS SO THAT WE RESPOND TO, UM, UH, A HIGH IMPACT EVENT OR AN EMERGENCY EVENT WITH, UH, WITH POLICIES THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN LINE WITH OUR LONG-TERM GOALS AND NOT JUST, UM, A RESPONSE TO SOME, SOME CRISIS. 
          UM, NEXT IN FIVE IS WHERE WE GET EXTRA COMPLICATED. 
          UH, 
          [00:25:01]
AND WE'VE ADDED SOME, SOME OTHER DIAGRAMS AND, AND SUMMARIES TO THAT SECTION. 
          WHAT THIS BASICALLY IS SAYING IS THAT, UM, IN FIVE WE LAY OUT THAT THERE WILL BE NEW POLICIES. 
          WE'RE PROPOSING NEW POLICIES FOR, UH, ABIL A NEW CONSTRUCTION OR REMODEL, AND THERE'S DIFFERENT POLICIES FOR DIFFERENT ONES. 
          OF COURSE, IT NEEDS TO MEET THE CURRENT HAZARD BASED ON CURRENT FLOODS, BUT IT ALSO NEEDS TO LAY OUT AN ADAPTATION PATHWAY FOR FUTURE FLOODS. 
          NOW THIS IS WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF CONVERSATION AND JURISDICTIONS DEAL WITH THIS DIFFERENTLY. 
          ON ONE END OF A SPECTRUM, YOU MIGHT SAY, WELL, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT BUILDING IS HIGH ENOUGH TO BE, IS BUILT HIGH ENOUGH RIGHT NOW SO THAT IT IS SAFE FROM ANY FLOOD IT MIGHT EXPERIENCE IN THE NEXT, PICK A NUMBER, A HUNDRED YEARS, 150 YEARS. 
          THAT'S ONE END OF THE SPECTRUM. 
          AND THE OTHER END SAYS BASICALLY WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS DONE, WHICH IS JUST BUILD TO THE CURRENT FLOOD AND IGNORE THAT FLOODS ARE GETTING WORSE. 
          WE'RE CLEARLY NOT GONNA BE AT EITHER END OF THAT SPECTRUM AND WE'RE GONNA BE SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE. 
          AND SO FINDING THAT BALANCE OF HOW MUCH PRE-PLANNING, UM, HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO, HOW MUCH OF THE FUTURE SAFETY DO YOU WANT TO BUILD NOW VERSUS HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO PLAN FOR NOW OR FUND NOW, BUT NOT NECESSARILY, UH, BUILD RIGHT NOW. 
          AND SO WHERE WE'VE LANDED, AND THIS IS WHERE WE'RE LOOKING FOR SIGNIFICANT INPUT, IS THAT THEY WOULD BUILD TO A CURRENT STANDARD. 
          THE BUILDING HAS TO BE SAFE TO THE NOW FLOOD. 
          AND DURING THE APPLICATION, YOU HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THROUGH THE ARCHITECTURE, THROUGH THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING, UM, THAT THAT BUILDING WILL BE SAFE TO THE FUTURE FLOOD LEVEL USING A LOT OF THE DIFFERENT STRATEGIES THAT EXIST TO MAKE A BUILDING SAFE TO A FUTURE FLOOD. 
          MAYBE THAT BUILDING IS ENGINEERED, UH, SO THAT IT IS EASY TO LIFT IT UP BY A COUPLE FEET. 
          UH, THAT CAN BE DONE PRETTY EASY TO DESIGN INTO THE BEGINNING, VERY HARD TO DO AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT. 
          OR MAYBE THAT FIRST FLOOR IS EXTRA HIGH SO THAT YOU CAN RAISE JUST THE FLOOR OF THE BUILDING TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF THE WET. 
          OR MAYBE THE FIRST FLOOR CAN BE HARDENED WITH TEMPORARY FLOOD BARRIERS OR MAYBE THE FIRST FLOOR IS SAFE TO BE FLOODED. 
          UH, AS YOU CAN DESIGN THE ARCHITECTURE OF A BUILDING TO NOT REALLY BE DAMAGED IF IT GETS A COUPLE FEET OF WATER INTO IT. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES. 
          AND WHERE WE'VE LANDED, AS YOU'LL SEE IN THERE, IS THAT, UH, THE ADAPTATION STANDARD IS YOU NEED TO DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY THAT THE BUILDING IS DESIGNED TO, IN THE FUTURE BE ADAPTED. 
          UH, NEXT. 
          AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GEEK OUT ON SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS, I HAVE DIFFERENT GRAPHICS  THAT I CAN SHOW IN GOAL SIX. 
          SORRY, I KNOW I'M GOING REALLY SLOW HERE. 
          UH, NUMBER SIX IS REALLY AROUND CITY ACTIONS. 
          WHAT THINGS IS THE CITY SPECIFICALLY DOING THAT BASICALLY FALLS INTO ALL THE THINGS THE CITY BUILDS AND ALSO FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS WITH THE CITY IS EITHER LEADING OR, UH, HEAVILY INVOLVED IN. 
          SO IN 6.1, IT'S BASICALLY APPLYING THOSE SIMILAR FLOOD STANDARDS THAT ARE BEING ASSIGNED, THAT ARE BEING APPLIED TO THE BUILDING OF PRIVATE BUILDINGS AND APPLYING THOSE REGULATIONS TO THE CITY, THOUGH TO A, UH, SLIGHTLY HIGHER EXTENT AS WELL. 
          BASICALLY SAYING, UM, THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE FLOOD LEVEL TO THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF THINGS THE CITY IS DOING AND THE CITY NEEDS TO, UH, CONSIDER THOSE GOING INTO THE FUTURE. 
          UM, YOU'LL NOTICE IN THAT SECTION THAT THAT 6.9 FEET OF SEA LEVEL RISE, THE VERY LOW PROBABILITY SCENARIO STARTS MAKING MORE APPEARANCES. 
          AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE THINGS THE CITY IS BUILDING, UH, CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE MODIFICATIONS TO A WASTE TREATMENT PLANT, KEY TRANSIT CORRIDORS, UM, UH, PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES, EVACUATION SHELTERS, THOSE FALL INTO A MUCH HIGHER CATEGORY OF HAZARD AVERSION. 
          THEY NEED TO BE SAFER, UM, BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE CRITICAL TO SAFETY AND ALSO TYPICALLY 'CAUSE THEY'RE MORE DIFFICULT TO RETROFIT OR REPLACE IF THEY WERE AFFECTED. 
          SO YOU'LL START SEEING SOME VERY HIGH, UM, YOU KNOW, VERY PLAY IT SAFE, UH, CLIMATE CHANGE PREDICTIONS FOR THOSE IN 6.2. 
          IT'S CONTINUING TO DEVELOP FLOOD CONTROL EFFORTS. 
          THIS ALSO TIES BACK TO FLOOD ADAPTATION MASTER PLAN TO SAY, YES, WE, WE ARE STILL BUILDING FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS. 
          WE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD THEM, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO BUILD THEM IN THE LONG, WITH A LONG-TERM VISION FOR, UM, NOT JUST WHAT DO WE NEED TO ASSESS ADDRESS THE FLOODS NOW, BUT HOW DOES THAT GONNA FIT INTO OUR PORTFOLIO OF FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS 40, 80, A HUNDRED YEARS INTO THE FUTURE. 
          AND SO THE MAIN CHANGE THERE IS REALLY 
          [00:30:01]
LOOKING AT, UM, UH, DEVELOPING CONCEPTUAL PLANS FOR THOSE LONG-TERM PROJECTS. 
          SO WE MAKE SURE OUR CURRENT PROJECTS DON'T INTERFERE WITH THEM. 
          6.3, THE REALLY FUN ONE AROUND IDENTIFYING NEW FUNDING SOURCES, UH, PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF SOME OF THE CHALLENGES AROUND STORMWATER FUNDING IN THE CITY RIGHT NOW. 
          AND NUMBER SEVEN, THIS, THIS THREAD THAT GOES THROUGH EVERYTHING IS HOW DO YOU REALLY EMPOWER THE COMMUNITY TO BE, UM, ENGAGED IN THE PROCESS AND MORE THAN ENGAGED, REALLY BE DESIGNED DRIVERS OF THE PROCESS. 
          HOW DO YOU HELP THE COMMUNITY BE EMPOWERED TO KIND OF, UH, SET THEIR EXPECTATIONS FOR WHAT TYPES OF PROTECTIONS, WHAT TYPES OF OUTCOMES THEY WANNA SEE? PARTNERSHIP WITH REGIONAL STAKEHOLDERS HAS REALLY COME UP AS CRITICAL, PARTICULARLY IN THAT A LOT OF THE WATER THAT FLOODS US RIGHT NOW DOES NOT COME FROM US. 
          IT COMES FROM THE CONTRIBUTING WATERSHED IN COUNTY JURISDICTION AND CHANGES UP THERE DO HAVE AN EFFECT ON US. 
          SO CONTINUED AND INCREASED IMPORTANCE OF COLLABORATION THERE. 
          UM, AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, STRIVES ARE, UH, IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING MADE THERE IN THAT WE NOW USE THE SAME SOFTWARE, WE USE THE SAME MODEL. 
          UH, SO WE'RE ALREADY INTEGRATING WITH THEM, WHICH IS A BIG, BIG WIN. 
          UM, 7.3 PROACTIVE ADAPTATION. 
          A LOT OF THE TOOLS THUS FAR IN THE FRAMEWORK HAVE BEEN REGULATORY TOOLS. 
          UH, THE, THE STICKS. 
          HOW DO YOU DEVELOP THE CARROTS TO SUPPORT PEOPLE PROACTIVELY IMPROVING THEIR FLOOD HAZARD THAT, UM, WHICH MIGHT BE REACHING OUT TO COMMUNITIES TO ASSIST THEM IN RELOCATING, UM, OR DEVELOPING PROJECTS IN THEIR AREA. 
          UH, SOME PROJECTS THAT THEY CAN LEAD TO, UH, SUPPORT THEIR SAFETY. 
          AND 7.4 ALSO, UM, SIMILARLY, HOW DO YOU SUPPORT, UH, COMMUNITY GROUPS AND, UM, AND OTHER COALITIONS TO, UH, SUPPORT THEIR EFFORTS TOWARDS FLOOD SAFETY, UH, IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS? THAT'S THAT. 
          WE HAVE A COUPLE, UH, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR INPUT. 
          UM, AND I WOULD JUST AS A PROMPT GO BACK TO THIS NOTION OF, UM, WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS FIND THIS BALANCE OF WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT TO DO NOW AND ARE WE SO THAT WE'RE NOT ENCUMBERING THE OTHER EFFORTS THAT WE'VE GOT GOING, UH, BUILDING A FLOOD WALL AS A VERY BIG COMMUNITY IN IMPACT. 
          IT'S GOT A BIG FINANCIAL IMPACT, IT'S GOT A GOOD CARBON FOOTPRINT AND IT'S GOT BIG ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS. 
          UM, SO WHAT A WOUND IS APPROPRIATE TO DO NOW VERSUS, UM, WHAT DO WE, AND, AND KNOWING THAT, HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT WE'RE STILL DOING ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE NOW AND DEVELOP NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO DO IMPROVE OUR FLOOD SAFETY IN THE FUTURE? THAT'S, TO ME THE CRITICAL BALANCE THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND IN THE, IN THIS DOCUMENT. 
          THANKS. 
          AND, SORRY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          DO WE HAVE COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? DARREN, THANK YOU. 
          AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT PRESENTATION, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          UM, A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS HERE. 
          SO ON PAGE 22, REALLY THROUGHOUT THE DOCUMENT WE REFERENCE OPC 2018 FIGURES. 
          OBVIOUSLY ON OUR LAST DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS, THERE'S NEW FIGURES BEING DRAFTED. 
          UM, I ASSUME WE HAVE DISCRETION BECAUSE IT SAYS, UH, PER OPC 2018 OR AS AMENDED. 
          IS THAT PURELY OUR DISCRETION IF WE WANT TO USE THE NEW, NEW NUMBERS? I THINK THAT WAS THE CONSENSUS WE CAME TO LAST TIME. 
          OR IS THIS IMPLYING WE'LL UPDATE WHEN NEW DATA COMES OUT? HOW IS THIS KIND OF FRAMED? UH, THE INTENTION IS FOR IT TO BE WRITTEN THAT AS NEW GUIDANCE COMES FROM THE STATE OR SOME OTHER AUTHORITY THAT MIGHT HAVE MORE LOCALIZED GUIDANCE, UH, WE WOULD REEVE WE WOULD, UM, UTILIZE THAT NEW GUIDANCE. 
          SOME OF THOSE, IT'S VERY EASY TO DO IF A NEW NUMBER COMES OUT. 
          WELL, THAT CAN JUST GET PUT INTO THE FLOOD MODEL AND NEW MAPS CAN BE GENERATED. 
          UM, THE, BUT IF IF THE THE NEW VERSION HAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING AT FLOOD PROJECTIONS, THEN THAT MIGHT REQUIRE A MORE INTENSIVE PROCESS TO KIND OF INTERPRET WHAT IT MEANS. 
          UM, AND IT ALSO MIGHT, THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE THAT SAYS WE MUST CONTINUE TO USE THE STATE OCEAN PROTECTION COUNCIL, UM, GUIDANCE IF, FOR EXAMPLE, BCDC DEVELOPS NEW GUIDANCE THAT'S MORE LOCALLY APPROPRIATE TO THE BAY AREA, THAT HELPS US INTEGRATE WITH BAY AREA WIDE PLANNING EFFORTS. 
          AND THE REASON I BRING THEM UP IS THERE'S A NEW LAW AND THERE'S NEW FUNDING THAT IS SETTING UP BCDC TO BE SOMETHING OF A BAY AREA WIDE COASTAL ADAPTATION. 
          UM, 
          [00:35:02]
NOT REGULATOR, BUT REVIEWER AND FACILITATOR TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE OUR, OUR EFFORTS ARE NOT IMPINGING ON THE FLOOD SAFETY OF, YOU KNOW, SOME, SOME OTHER BAY AREA, UM, JURISDICTION. 
          SO IT'S NOT TO SAY WE WE HAVE TO USE ONE OR THE OTHER. 
          UM, THE, AND THIS IS THE OTHER REALITY IS WE WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY THIS LEAPFROG GAME OF, UH, WE'RE WORKING ON OURS AND THEN RIGHT AS WE'RE DONE, A NEW THING COMES OUT AND THAT CHANGES IT. 
          SO WE WILL ALWAYS BE BEHIND OR AHEAD OF THESE CHANGES IN POLICY. 
          I MEAN, INTERESTING TO HEAR ABOUT THAT LITTLE NOTE ABOUT BCDC. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR, FOR FLUSHING THAT OUT. 
          AND THEN ON PAGE 32, THE, IN A COUPLE PLACES THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT FRAMEWORKS, WE MENTIONED A, A TRANSFER DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS PROGRAM, UH, AND MAYBE THIS WOULD BE FOR STAFF, BUT WHAT DOES THAT IMPLY FOR THE CITY? I MEAN, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY FACILITATE? UM, I WASN'T SURE WHAT THE CITY'S ROLE IN THAT WOULD BE OR WHAT THAT WOULD IMPLY, UH, FOR KIND OF EITHER STRENGTHENING OR CREATING A TDR PATH. 
          SO I'M NOT AWARE THAT WE'VE DONE THIS ANYWHERE IN THE LAST DECADE. 
          I DO BELIEVE THERE'S SOME LANGUAGE IN THE CURRENT GENERAL PLAN. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF, IF PAMELA REMEMBERS, BUT I THINK THERE'S SOME LANGUAGE IN THE CURRENT GENERAL PLAN THAT KIND OF PROVIDES THAT AS SOMETHING WE COULD DO WITH DENSITY. 
          UM, WE HAVEN'T YET. 
          SO IF THAT'S A MORE, YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD FLESH OUT FURTHER AND CREATE MORE OF A DEFINITIVE PROCESS FOR TO DO THAT SO THAT IT CAN FACILITATE WHAT WE WANT IT TO FACILITATE. 
          WE JUST HAVEN'T, WE DON'T HAVE THAT SPECIFICALLY. 
          I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANYTHING IN OUR ZONING ORDINANCE THAT REFERENCES TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS OR A REVIEW PROCESS OR A, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING LIKE THAT. 
          BUT THERE'S SOME REFERENCE IN THE GENERAL PLAN TO CONSIDERING THAT. 
          SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN FULLY CAN WE ADD SOMETHING? YEAH, PLEASE. 
          WELL, PAM IS COMING UP TO THE MICROPHONE. 
          I KNOW THAT, UH, I BELIEVE IT'S UC, BERKELEY'S TURNER CENTER IS WORKING ON, UH, SOME RESEARCH INTO TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS, WHAT MIGHT NEED TO HAPPEN AT THE STATE LEVEL TO FACILITATE JURISDICTIONS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT TOOL. 
          AND, UM, SO I THINK IT'S VERY CURRENT TOPIC FOR A LOT OF JURISDICTIONS. 
          SO I WANNA INVITE, UM, PAMELA TUFT WITH, UM, PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES. 
          HI, GOOD EVENING. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR, UH, HAVING US AND, UH, IN THE DISTANT PAST, UH, WHICH I CAN TALK TO EASILY. 
          'CAUSE I'VE, I'M OLD AND I'VE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE. 
          SO, UH, THE EAST OF ELI SUBDIVISIONS, UH, WHICH ARE ALL AROUND THE AIRPORT, UM, FROM ELI BOULEVARD SOUTH, WHICH, UM, IT TO EAST TO THE AIRPORT, UH, EVERYTHING THAT ABUTS THE URBAN SEPARATOR U UTILIZED THE TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS, UH, SO THAT WE DID NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE URBAN SEPARATOR IS OPEN SPACE. 
          WE EXACTED IT AS WE DEVELOPED, UH, ALSO IN THE CORONA ELI SPECIFIC PLAN, WE DID THE SAME TECHNIQUE. 
          UM, WE ALSO DID IT TO OBTAIN SOME OF THE PARKS IN THE CORONA ELI SPECIFIC PLAN BECAUSE, UM, UNDER THE OLD RULES WE HAD TO PAY FOR PARKS AT THE MARKET RATE PER ACRE. 
          UM, AND WITH A LIMITED PARKS BUDGET, IT WAS EASIER TO ALLOW THEM TO, UH, TRANSFER THE DEVELOPMENT. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE DID IT EXTENSIVELY IN THE ADOBE, UH, CREEK, UH, GOLF COURSE, UH, PROJECT, WHICH IS WHY THOSE HOUSES ARE SO BIG AND SO CLOSE TOGETHER BECAUSE WE THEN, UH, APPLIED AN OPEN SPACE EASEMENT ON THE ENTIRE 18 HOLES, INCLUDING THE 19 HOLES THAT ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY. 
          SO WE ALLOWED IN FACTORY REQUIRED, UH, DEVELOPMENT AT THE SAME TIME. 
          EVERYTHING THAT'S ABUTTING THE URBAN SEPARATOR ALSO HAD TO MEET THE FEATHERING POLICIES, UM, THAT WE HAD INCORPORATED INTO THE SPECIFIC PLANS. 
          AND THAT MEANS TO REDUCE THE DENSITY AS IT APPROACHES THE URBAN SEPARATOR AND PROVIDE FOR A LARGER LOT, UM, TO ALLOW THE CONCEPT OF, OF EATING, MEETING, UH, OR REACHING THE, UH, EDGE OF THE CITY. 
          THE INTENT WAS THAT WE WOULD NEVER HOP OVER THE URBAN SEPARATOR AND GET INTO THE OUTER, UM, UH, ZONE OF THE AIRPORT FOR THE FLIGHT PATTERNS THAT EXTEND NORTH OF THE AIRPORT AND THEN MOVE EAST AROUND SONOMA MOUNTAIN TO, UM, FOR THE FLIGHT PATTERNS OF OUR AIRPORT MASTER PLAN. 
          SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OLD, UM, THE OLD WAYS, UM, I'D BE GLAD TO RESPOND. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WELL, THAT'S INTERESTING. 
          I MEAN, WHAT, WHAT'S OLD IS NEW AGAIN, AND I I JUST SAW IT THROUGHOUT THE FRAMEWORK, SO THANK YOU ALL FOR GIVING SOME CONTEXT AND TALKING ABOUT THIS TOOL A LITTLE BIT. 
          I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY KIND OF INSTANTIATED IN A LOT OF THESE FRAMEWORKS, SO IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO FOLLOW THAT. 
          UH, AND THEN THE OTHER 
          [00:40:01]
QUESTION ON PAGE 33, IT REFERENCES, UH, ACTION FR 5.1 0.5, AND THEN IT SAYS IMPLEMENT A NET ZERO FILL POLICY FOR ALL USES WITHIN THE EXTENT OF THE 500 YEAR MAP. 
          AND IT WAS MY IMPRESSION WE ALREADY HAD A NET ZERO FILL POLICY ACROSS THE CITY. 
          OR WHAT, WHAT, WHAT IS THAT CHANGE IMPLYING OR WHAT CHANGE IS THAT IMPLY? UH, I'LL START, BUT THEN I'M GONNA HAND IT EITHER TO PUBLIC WORKS OR, OR, UM, SEBASTIAN, WE DO HAVE A NO NET FILL POLICY CURRENTLY, BUT IT'S NOT ACROSS THE WHOLE CITY. 
          IT IS UP UPWARD OF THE WEIR. 
          YEAH. 
          THE CURRENT POLICY IS, UM, UPSTREAM OF THE WEIR WITHIN THE EXTENTS OF THE A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD. 
          AND WHAT, WHAT THIS DOES IS EXTEND IT TO BE THE ENTIRETY. 
          SO IGNORE THE WEIR, INCLUDING THESE OTHER AREAS. 
          'CAUSE WE'RE SEEING, UM, KIND OF INCREASING HAZARD FROM SOME OF OUR OTHER TRIBUTARIES. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, BREAKOUTS OF FLOODING OUT OF ADOBE CREEK, UM, WHICH OF COURSE THAT IS NOT UPSTREAM OF WEIR, BUT IT'S CRITICAL AND THE, THE FLOOD, UH, FILL IN THOSE AREAS COULD AND IS LIKELY TO, UH, SHIFT WATER ELSEWHERE, NAMELY BIGGER BREAKOUTS. 
          SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS. 
          AND THE OTHER ONE IS TO GO FROM THE A HUNDRED YEAR TO THE 500 YEAR IS THAT WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A MAP THAT LOOKS AT HOW INTENSE THE FUTURE RAIN MIGHT BE. 
          WE KNOW STORMS ARE GETTING MORE INTENSE, BUT THERE WASN'T SUFFICIENTLY RIGOROUS DATA TO USE TWO YEARS AGO TO, UM, PUT INTO THOSE MODELS THAT YOU'VE SEEN. 
          SO THEY STILL, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LOOKING AT, UH, SEA LEVEL THAT IS PROJECTING FOR SAY, 2100, BUT STILL USING TODAY'S STORM, WE KNOW THE STORMS ARE GETTING MORE INTENSE. 
          SO BUMPING UP TO THE 500 YEAR GIVES YOU A BIT OF A LEEWAY AND SOME OTHER JURISDICTIONS ARE DOING THIS, BASICALLY USING THE 500 YEAR FLOODPLAIN AS A BIT OF A PROXY FOR HOW BAD MIGHT THE HUNDRED YEAR BE IN THE FUTURE. 
          SO THAT'S THE REASON TO BUMP IT UP. 
          IT DOESN'T, UH, IT, IT'S AN EVOLUTION, NOT A REVOLUTION. 
          IT DOESN'T CREATE ALL NEW AREAS. 
          IT REALLY JUST EXPANDS, UM, THE, EXPANDS THE FOOTPRINT OF THAT POLICY KIND OF OUT FROM THE HUNDRED YEAR. 
          THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. 
          AND FOR NEW APPLICATIONS IN THOSE AREAS, DOES IT IMPLY ANY RETROACTIVE EXAMINATION OF FILL ON SITE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? OR IS IT PURELY MOVING FORWARD? HMM. 
          GO BACK AND I WOULD IMAGINE IT WOULD TYP TYPICALLY IT'S ALWAYS DONE. 
          UM, YEAH, PARTICULARLY, AND, AND PART OF THE REASON FOR THAT IS, UM, PHIL, THAT WAS PLACED BEFORE WE STARTED RECEIVING THESE CITYWIDE, UM, TOPO TOPOGRAPHICAL MAPS, THESE LIDAR MAPS. 
          UM, IT'S REALLY HARD TO KIND OF TELL THE AGE OF WHEN PHIL WAS PLACED, THINGS THAT ARE SINCE, YOU KNOW, MID TWO THOUSANDS, DEFINITELY SINCE 2011 WHEN WE HAD A REALLY, UH, REALLY HIGH QUALITY LIDAR SCAN OF THE ENTIRE CITY, WELL, THE ENTIRE COUNTY. 
          UM, SINCE THEN, IT'S PRETTY EASY TO TELL WHEN FILL HAS BEEN APPLIED. 
          UH, YOU CAN COMPARE BACK TO THAT, BUT, UM, SO TYPICALLY IT'S DONE FROM, FROM, UH, YEAH, DAY OF, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD IMAGINE. 
          UH, BUT THAT, THAT YOU FOR, FOR EXPLAINING THAT. 
          UH, AND THEN MY LAST TWO QUESTIONS HERE, UM, ON ACTION FR 5.114, WE TALK ABOUT THAT FOR SITES THAT CAN'T KIND OF IMPLEMENT OR ADAPT TO FLOOD ELEVATIONS REQUIRED BY CODE, WE'RE ASKING FOR SOME DIFFERENT KINDA ONSITE IMPROVEMENTS OR RETENTION FACILITIES. 
          I KNOW IN INFRASTRUCTURE, AND MAYBE THIS IS IN HERE AND I'M JUST MISSING IT, IT'S A BIG DOCUMENT. 
          I KNOW IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE PIECE WE TALKED ABOUT REQUIRING MORE AND MORE OR ASKING OR REQUIRING APPLICANTS TO BUILD LIKE STORM WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ON SITE AND RETENTION ON SITE. 
          I SEE SOME OF THAT WITH LID UH, IMPLEMENTATION. 
          IS THAT IMPLIED IN HERE AND I JUST MISSED IT. 
          WE TALK ABOUT MAKING SURE NEW APPLICANTS ARE STARTING TO IMPLEMENT THESE STRATEGIES. 
          YEAH, THERE'S SOME PROPOSED, UH, STRENGTHENING OF LID STANDARDS IN HERE. 
          UM, THAT ONE IN PARTICULAR, FFR ONE POINT 14. 
          UM, WHAT THAT'S TRYING TO DO IS THERE ARE LEGITIMATE ENGINEERING CHALLENGES SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO DEVELOP A SITE WHERE, UM, MEETING THE RATHER RIGOROUS STANDARDS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED IN HERE, THINGS LIKE NO INCREASE IN THE TOTAL VOLUME OF RUNOFF, NO INCREASE IN THE RATE AT WHICH RUNOFF LEAVES THE PROPERTY. 
          THAT'S 
          [00:45:01]
VERY DOABLE IN, UM, IN CERTAIN CASES A GREENFIELD DEVELOPMENT. 
          UH, MAYBE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT GOING INTO DENSE. 
          YEAH, THERE'S, THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. 
          AND THERE'S USUALLY ENOUGH FLEXIBILITY IN REALLY DENSE URBAN INFILL PROJECTS. 
          YOU CAN SOMETIMES GET STUCK WHERE THOSE, THE PRO THE, THE AMOUNT OF ONSITE ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT OF STORM WATER WOULD BE SO COSTLY OR SO INHIBIT THE USE OF THAT SITE THAT, UH, WE RECOMMEND TO HAVE THAT, THAT THE CITY HAS THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT THAT SITE AND GO, YOU ARE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR STORMWATER CONTROL ON ANOTHER SITE WHERE IT'S MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE OR MAYBE HAS BETTER, UH, HABITAT BENEFITS TO, UH, TO ADDRESS THAT STORMWATER UPSTREAM. 
          UH, TYPICALLY UPSTREAM, SOMETIMES DOWNSTREAM. 
          A A CASE MIGHT BE YOU'RE DOING SOME PROJECT, UM, REALLY DOWN IN THE FLATS OF THE CITY. 
          IT'S IN YOUR URBAN CORE. 
          IT'S ALREADY VERY DENSE, IT HAS ZERO STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE RIGHT NOW 'CAUSE IT WAS DEVELOPED DECADES AGO. 
          AND ADDING IN, UH, THOSE STORMWATER FEATURES MIGHT BE VERY DIFFICULT COMPARED TO, UH, YOU MIGHT ACCOMPLISH THE SAME TREATMENT OF STORMWATER AND RETENTION OF STORMWATER BY BUILDING SOME NICE GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE UP AT THE TOP OF THE CREEK, SAY A NEW STORMWATER PARK, A BIG FLOOD, UH, PARK AREA. 
          AND THAT MIGHT BE CHEAPER. 
          IT MIGHT, UH, ALLOW THE DENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT THAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT ON THAT URBAN PROJECT AND IT MIGHT HAVE, UM, HABITAT OR CARBON BENEFITS THAT YOU COULDN'T ACCOMPLISH DOWNTOWN. 
          IT POINTS TO, IT'S JUST LEAVING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR WHAT'S CALLED A DISTRICT STORM WATER MODEL IN THE ENGINEERING PARLANCE THAT SAYS, LET'S KEEP THE FLEXIBILITY SO WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO SOLVE A PARCELS PROJECT WITHIN THE PARCEL. 
          LET'S SCALE JUMP AND LOOK WHERE THERE MIGHT BE A MORE, UH, EFFECTIVE WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. 
          THAT MAKES SENSE, THE ADDED FLEXIBILITY. 
          AND IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT THE BASELINE IS TO REALLY TRY TO MITIGATE ON SITE, BUT WE HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY TO, TO IMPLEMENT OTHER STRATEGIES. 
          LAST QUESTION. 
          UH, ACTION FR 6.1. 
          POINT THREE JUST STUCK OUT AND SAYS, WHEN PLANNING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE CORRIDOR IDENTIFY PROCEDURES FOR REUSE OR REMOVAL. 
          AND JUST IN READING THAT, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD. 
          DO WE HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE? UM, YOU KNOW, A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT THAT WOULD WE NEED REUSE OR REMOVAL? I I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT THAT MEANT. 
          MAYBE A TYPE OF PROJECT OR SOMETHING. 
          YEAH, WHAT THAT'S, WHAT THAT'S TRYING TO LOOK AT IS, YOU'LL SEE THAT QUESTION, THAT NOTION OF REMOVAL ELSEWHERE. 
          YOU'LL SEE IT IN POLICIES AROUND NEAR TERM PROJECTS THAT ARE ONLY PLANNING FOR 2050 PLANNING TO BE SAFE AGAINST THE 2050 FLOOD. 
          AND THE NOTION THERE IS, IF WE THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE SHORT-LIVED, THERE SHOULD BE A DOCUMENTED PLAN ABOUT HOW IT'S GOING TO BE REMOVED, UM, SO THAT IT'S NOT JUST BECOMING SOME STRANDED ASSET. 
          AND SO THAT MIGHT BE, UM, LET'S SAY IT'S A, A TRAIL SYSTEM THAT WE KNOW IN THE FUTURE IS GOING TO BE ENCOMPASSED BY THE RIVER. 
          THE RIVER'S GONNA TAKE THAT BACK AS THE RIVER WANTS TO WIDEN AND AS FLOODS INCREASE, UM, THEN THE DECOMMISSIONING PROCESS OF THAT MIGHT BE, WELL, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT IT'S MADE OF MATERIALS THAT ARE NOT GONNA CONTRIBUTE TO CONTAMINATION IN THE RIVER AS WE DO IT. 
          OR IF WE'RE GONNA BUILD IT OUT OF ASPHALT, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN TO REMOVE IT BEFORE IT, IT REVERTS. 
          UM, THAT MIGHT ALSO BE, UH, IF THERE'S FOR SOME REASON SOME INFRASTRUCTURE THAT NEEDS TO BE PLACED, UH, INTO THE CORRIDOR FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, SAY THERE'S SOME UTILITY THAT NEEDS TO BE PLACED IN THERE, WHAT IS THE PLAN SO THAT THAT MATERIAL COULD BE REMOVED IN THE FUTURE IF IT NEEDS TO BE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU ROGER. 
          YEAH, YEAH. 
          JUST GENERAL QUESTION, UM, HOW, HOW WILL THE COST BENEFIT, UH, ANALYSIS OR EVALUATION BE DONE IN TERMS OF, UM, IF THERE'S WAYS TO PROTECT PROPERTY LIKE A SEA WALL OR A D**E OR SOME COSTLY SOLUTION? I MEAN, HOW WILL THAT BE EVALUATED VERSUS, YOU KNOW, LIKE FIVE PROPERTIES IMPROVING THEIR FLOOD CONTROL VERSUS A MUNICIPAL PROJECT INVOLVES FIVE PROPERTIES AND, AND HOW IS THAT DEALT WITH? WELL, THE, WHAT WE TOOK FOR THAT, THE, THE STANCE WE TOOK FOR THAT PROJECT IS KIND OF ASSUMING THAT IN GENERAL THE, THE PROCESS DO OF OF DOING THE COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF A FLOOD PROJECT WILL STAY MOSTLY THE SAME. 
          AND THAT'S TYPICALLY DONE PRETTY. 
          BRASS TAX WAS A COST TO BUILD THE PROJECT VERSUS WHAT ASSETS DO IT PROTECT. 
          [00:50:01]
BUT WE KNOW THAT THAT'S INSUFFICIENT BECAUSE IT PUTS YOU IN SOME SITUATIONS WHERE, UM, LET'S JUST SAY THERE'S ONE $10 MILLION PROPERTY PROTECTED AND THERE'S 20 HALF MILLION DOLLAR PROPERTIES PROTECTED. 
          WELL, CLEARLY ONE OF THOSE IS A BETTER PROJECT THAN THE OTHER. 
          WE WOULD AGREE AS A COMMUNITY. 
          THAT'S WHEN ONE OF THE GUIDANCE WE GET. 
          UM, SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE PUT IN ONE OF THE PROCESSES TO, TO EVALUATE THAT IS TWO POLICIES IN THERE. 
          ONE, UM, THAT IS LOOKING AT, I CAN FIND THE NUMBER FOR YOU. 
          IT'S LOOKING AT THE HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN HISTORICALLY HAS LOOKED AT FLOOD IMPACTS IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT. 
          LET'S ADD TO THAT. 
          UM, OH, IT ALSO LOOKED AT NUMBER OF PEOPLE AFFECTED, BUT MAYBE WE NEED A DEMOGRAPHIC BREAKDOWN TO ENSURE, UH, WERE THEY AT RISK COMMUNITIES, VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES OR WERE THEY NOT? UH, THAT'S RELEVANT PLANNING INFORMATION. 
          SIMILARLY, THE ECONOMIC IMPACT, UM, HOW MANY, UH, YOU KNOW, HOW MANY PEOPLE IS THAT DISTRIBUTED AGAINST BECAUSE, UH, FROM A SOCIAL JUSTICE LENS, THAT WOULD BE MORE, UH, UH, A PRIORITIZED PROJECT. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S STUDIED IN THE LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN. 
          WE'RE PROPOSING THAT THAT'S AN ELEMENT. 
          AND THEN THE OTHER ONE, UH, IS IN THE POLICIES AROUND DEVELOPING NEW FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS. 
          UM, THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE COMMUNITIES PROTECTED IS A CRITICAL FACTOR, NOT JUST THE FINANCIAL FACTOR. 
          UM, THAT'S THE MAIN, UM, ADDITION AND, AND PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE CURRENT POLICY. 
          SURE. 
          THE, THE OTHER QUESTION, UM, I'M THINKING OF STORM SURGE OR TIDAL IMPACT OF, UH, THE, THE, THE FLOOD MOVING UPSTREAM , UH, ARE THERE WAYS OR CONSIDERATIONS OR WILL THERE BE CONSIDERATION OF HOW DO YOU BLEED THAT OFF INTO LOW LANDS? OR HOW DO YOU, UH, DIVERT IT SO IT DOESN'T REACH UPSTREAM? UH, IS THERE IT'S USING, USING OPEN SPACE OR FARMLAND OR WHATEVER TO, BECAUSE SACRAMENTO HAS A VERY BIG HISTORY OF THE SACRAMENTO RIVER AND, UH, IT'S NOT STORM SURGE, BUT IT'S, IT'S HIGH WATER CONTENT AND THEY'VE, I MEAN THE, THE, THE F THE FIRST, UH, FINISHED FLOOR IN SACRAMENTO IS ONE F1 FLOOR BELOW THE STREETS NOW. 
          YEAH, THE ORIGINAL CITY WAS BUILT ONE FLOOR LOWER THAN IT IS NOW, UH, WHICH IS, BUT THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF BLEED OFF TECHNIQUES AND AG, YOU KNOW, HOLDING BASINS AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM. 
          THAT'S QUITE AMAZING. 
          BUT YEAH, I, I LIKE THAT YOU BROUGHT UP SACRAMENTO 'CAUSE IT REALLY POINTS TO, UM, SOME OF THE ETHOS THAT WE GOT FROM, UH, A LOT OF DIFFERENT COMMUNITY GROUPS. 
          CLIMATE ACTION COMMISSION IS, ONE OF 'EM IS REALLY THIS EMPHASIS ON GREEN FLOODING SOLUTIONS. 
          SACRAMENTO'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF IT. 
          ITS FIRST GENERATION OF FLOOD CONTROL WAS RAISE THE CITY. 
          THEY ADDED DIRT AND THEY BURIED THE FIRST FLOORS. 
          UM, THE SECOND GENERATION WAS THIS APPRECIATION THAT YOU CAN ONLY KEEP DOING THAT FOR SO LONG. 
          AND WHAT THEY DID WAS THEY BASICALLY NATURALIZED THE RIVER. 
          THEY PROVIDED THESE BYPASSES, THE YOLO BYPASS THAT RAISED CAUSEWAY BETWEEN DAVIS AND SACRAMENTO. 
          AND THAT IS THE FLOOD PROTECTION TO THE CITY. 
          UH, IT'S LETTING THE RIVER GO BACK TO WHAT IT WANTED TO DO, WHICH WAS BE WIDE, SHALLOW, UM, AND NOT CONFINED INTO A CHANNEL. 
          AND SO ZOOM THAT DOWN TO A MUCH SMALLER PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE LUCKILY THAN SACRAMENTO. 
          UM, SOME OF THE WAYS THAT THOSE STRATEGIES ARE IN THERE, IT'S CALLED OUT SPECIFICALLY THAT FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS SHOULD EMPHASIZE NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS, UM, THAT HAVE SIDE BENEFITS OF HABITAT AND, AND, UH, RIPARIAN AND CREEK RESTORATION THAT'S IN THERE. 
          GENERALLY, UM, EXPLICITLY YOU'LL SEE THAT IDEA PROP UP IN, UM, IT'S BEEN INCORPORATED IN SOME OF THE LAND USE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT YOU'LL, THAT YOU WILL BE SEEING OF INCREASED BUFFER TO THE RIVER SO THAT WE LET IT BEHAVE THE WAY THE RIVER WANTS TO BEHAVE. 
          WE DON'T KEEP STRAIGHT JACKETING IT. 
          UM, ALSO, AS YOU POINTED OUT, STORM SURGE ISSUE THAT'S JUST INCREASING IN THE LOWER PORTIONS OF THE CITY. 
          UM, THINK, YOU KNOW, FROM THE END OF STEAMBOAT LANDING DOWN RIVER, UM, THOSE ARE THE AREAS WHERE STORM SURGE IS, IS REALLY IMPACTFUL. 
          UM, YES, THE PRESERVATION OF SOME OF THOSE LOW LYING COASTAL AREA, COASTAL RIVERFRONT SLEW FRONT PROPERTIES, UM, THOSE ARE KIND OF BEING IDENTIFIED AS PARTICULARLY VALUABLE, UM, AND MAYBE OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO THE CITY TO, UM, TO RETAIN OR, OR, OR, OR, UM, ACCESS IN THE FUTURE FOR, FOR, FOR FLOOD SAFETY THAT, THAT BENEFITS THE CITY. 
          [00:55:02]
THE OTHER BIG STRATEGY, UM, AND THIS WAS BROUGHT UP BY THE CAC BY THE ACTION COMMISSION, IS THIS TAKES REGIONAL COLLABORATION BECAUSE THE, THE, UH, MARSHLANDS THAT ARE CURRENTLY REALLY ASSISTING IN THE PROTECTION OF THE CITY, MOST OF THEM ARE OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS. 
          WE HAVE SOME MARSHLANDS AND THOSE DEFINITELY DO HAVE A BENEFIT AND THEY WOULD HAVE GREATER BENEFIT TO THE CITY IF, UM, IF THEY WERE TO BE MODIFIED TO HAVE A BETTER CONNECTION TO THE RIVER. 
          UH, LOOK INTO THE ADOBE CREEK PROJECT THAT SFEI, THE WETLAND RESTORATION PROJECT THAT SAN FRANCISCO AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE IS EXPLORING. 
          UM, YEAH, THOSE COULD BE DEFINITE STRATEGIES TO TRY AND BUFFER AND, AND ABSORB SOME OF THE IMPACT FROM STORM SURGE. 
          BUT REALLY THIS POINTS TO THE REGIONAL ISSUE. 
          WE NEED TO COLLABORATE WITH THE COUNTY. 
          WE NEED TO COLLABORATE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MARIN COUNTY. 
          UM, AND WITH JURISDICTIONS LIKE BCDC BECAUSE THAT MARSHLAND ALONG THE RIVER ALL THE WAY FROM US DOWN SAN PABLO IS PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT TO US. 
          WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WAVES LIKE SAUSALITO DOES, LIKE SAN RAFAEL DOES. 
          WE DON'T HAVE TO 'CAUSE WE HAVE A MARSH THAT PROTECTS US. 
          BUT OVER TIME, WITHOUT, UH, THE PROJECTION IS THAT OVER TIME WITHOUT HUMAN IMPACT AND HUMAN RESTORATION, THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THAT MARSH OF PROTECTING US WILL, WILL, IT'LL DETERIORATE THAT MARSH WILL CONTINUE TO FLOOD AND A MUDFLAT DOESN'T BLOCK WAVES THE SAME WAY A MARSH DOES. 
          UH, IT DOESN'T BLOCK IT AS WELL. 
          SO IT POINTS TO SOME OF THE COLLABORATE COMMUNITY COLLABORATION AND, AND, UH, JURISDICTION COLLABORATION IN POLICY SEVEN THAT WE DO NEED TO BE PROACTIVE ABOUT, UH, WHAT PROJECTS CAN BE DONE, UH, DOWNSTREAM OF THE RIVER TO, UH, TO PROTECT US. 
          OKAY. 
          LAST QUESTION. 
          UM, UH, PROBABLY THE MOST WELL KNOWN PROJECT IS, UH, SEASIDE, FLORIDA WHERE THE, THE WHOLE GROUND FLOOR IS BASICALLY OPEN FOR WHATEVER COMES , UH, STORMED SURGE OR, UH, HURRICANES OR WHATEVER. 
          SO IT IT, AND ALSO I'M FAMILIAR WITH A RESTAURANT ON A MISSISSIPPI RIVER THAT WHEN THE, WHEN THE FLOOD COMES, THEY, THEIR EQUIPMENT AND WHEN IT GOES DOWN, THEY WASH THE WALLS DOWN AND PLUG IT BACK IN. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S DESIGNED TO ACCEPT OR TOLERATE WATER. 
          IS THAT EVER A CONSIDERATION AND YOU KNOW, THE GROUND FLOOR BE DESIGNED WATERPROOFED OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WATERPROOFED OR WAYS OF YEAH. 
          UM, THE TECHNICAL TERM IS, UH, WET FLOOD PROOFING. 
          WHEREAS DRY FLOOD PROOFING IS, THE DOORS ARE SEALED SO NO WATER CAN GET IN, EVEN IF THE WATER'S COMING UP TO THE WINDOWS. 
          UM, THAT'S ONE STRATEGY. 
          WET FLOOD, FLOOD PROOFING IS LET THE WATER INTO THE BUILDING, UM, AND MAKE SURE IT'S NOT GONNA IMPACT ANYTHING. 
          UM, WE HAVE EXAMPLES OF THAT HERE ALONG THE RUSSIAN RIVER. 
          GO INTO MONTE RE AND LOOK AT THE FIRST FLOOR OF A LOT OF THOSE BUILDINGS. 
          THERE'S NO SHEET ROCK. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, 'CAUSE THAT GETS DAMAGED WHERE, AND THERE'S NO INSULATION DOWN IN THOSE WALLS. 
          UM, THERE'S PLENTY OF CASE SAMPLES. 
          A A FIRE STATION JUST WENT IN IN SACRAMENTO THAT, UH, IS DESIGNED TO HAVE ITS FIRST FLOOR FLOODED. 
          UM, NAMELY THE MATERIALS THAT ARE SELECTED, THE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS ARE PLACED HIGHER, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. 
          NOT TO SAY THAT'S A GREAT SOLUTION. 
          YOU PROBABLY WANT YOUR FIRE STATION TO BE OPERATIONAL DURING THE, UH, DURING THE FLOOD. 
          WE EXPLORED EARLY ON WHETHER THE GENERAL PLAN SHOULD MAKE A STANCE ON WHAT TYPES OF FLOOD ADAPTATION ARE APPROPRIATE FOR A BUILDING. 
          IT STARTED GETTING VERY COMPLEX AND HONESTLY TOO PRESCRIPTIVE. 
          UH, IT'S THE GENERAL PLAN'S NOT THE VEHICLE TO CONVEY SPECIFIC BUILDING STANDARDS FOR. 
          WHAT YOU'RE REALLY TRYING TO ANSWER IS WHAT USES IS THAT APPROPRIATE AND WHAT USES ISN'T. 
          'CAUSE IT'S CLEARLY NOT APPROPRIATE IN A NURSERY, BUT MAYBE IT IS IN CERTAIN TYPES OF, UM, UH, COMMERCIAL USES PERHAPS. 
          UM, SO THOSE DETAILS ARE NOT IN THERE. 
          IT'S BASICALLY LEFT UP TO THE LANGUAGE RIGHT NOW IS, UM, TO BE PREPARED FOR FUTURE FLOODS, EITHER BY RAISING THE BUILDING OR BY OTHER MEANS. 
          AND THOSE DIFFERENT STRATEGIES ARE POTENTIAL OTHER MEANS. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU JESSICA. 
          YEAH, JUST A SORT OF GENERAL QUESTION ABOUT THE SORT OF NATURE OF OUR RIGOROUS AND, AND SORT OF ABOVE AND BEYOND APPROACH HERE. 
          UM, WHICH I THINK IS SMART, UH, 'CAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT, FUTURE PLANNING SHOULD BE FOR FUTURE CONDITIONS. 
          I'M JUST CURIOUS IF THAT HAS ANY SORT OF IMPLICATIONS OR STRESSORS FOR THE EVENTUAL EIR HMM. 
          [01:00:02]
FUTURE CONDITION. 
          RON, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN RESPONSE TO THAT? I, I, THAT'S, IT'S A REALLY GOOD QUESTION. 
          I, I THINK WITHOUT, I MEAN I WANNA LOOK INTO THAT A LITTLE, A LITTLE MORE CLOSELY, BUT MY INITIAL THOUGHT IS THE FRAMEWORK AS WRITTEN DOESN'T, I MEAN, MOST OF THOSE FUTURE LOOKING PLANNING EFFORTS ARE, ARE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN. 
          THEY ARE NOT ESTABLISHING NEW STANDARDS WITH THE FUTURE IN MIND NECESSARILY THAT, THAT I THINK THE EIR WOULD MOST CLOSELY TRACK ON. 
          UM, SO I I I, MY INITIAL RESPONSE WOULD BE PROBABLY NOT, BUT I'D WANNA LOOK AGAIN AT THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE AND THE FRAMEWORK TO BE A HUNDRED PERCENT SURE. 
          YEAH. 
          NOT THAT WE HAVE TO WRITE TO THE TEST, BUT WE CERTAINLY WANNA PASS IT. 
          . 
          YEAH. 
          THANKS. 
          ALRIGHT, I THINK THAT CLOSES US OFF FOR QUESTIONS. 
          UM, I DID WANT TO ASK, I KNOW WE HAVE RON HERE ON ZOOM. 
          WAS HE GIVING A PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION OR ARE WE, ARE WE GOOD THERE? NOT, NOT ON FLOOD RESILIENCY. 
          GOOD TO KNOW. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL WITH THAT, AND MOST OF MY QUESTIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ASKED. 
          I WILL MOVE STRAIGHT INTO PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          DO WE HAVE ANYONE HERE WHO IS PLANNING TO GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? I'LL TAKE IT AS A NO GIVEN HOW LARGELY EMPTY OUR MEETING IS THIS, THIS LOVELY EVENING. 
          UH, AND I'LL ASK THE CLERK WHO RECEIVED ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM AHEAD OF THE MEETING. 
          WE RECEIVED ONE, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM POSTED ONLINE AND AVAILABLE AT THE FRONT FOR VIEWING. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          WITH THAT, I'LL BRING IT BACK TO COMMISSIONERS 
          [COMMITTEE COMMENT]
TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY GENERAL COMMENTS BEFORE WE MOVE ON FROM THIS ITEM. 
          JESSICA, I'LL JUST, I'LL JUST REITERATE THAT I, THAT I, I DO THINK THE FUTURE PLANNING, UH, FOR FUTURE CONDITIONS IS THE WAY TO GO. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR GETTING SO, UM, IN DEPTH ON IT. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          AND OF ALL THE FRAMEWORKS, THIS ONE SEEMED KIND OF THE MOST SPECIFIC OR THE MOST PRESCRIPTIVE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. 
          IT REALLY GOT DETAILED, UM, WHICH I LIKE. 
          AND I THINK PART OF, WELL, JUST PART OF MY PERSONALITY, I KNOW WE NEED TO LEAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY IN THERE FOR, BUT FOR SOME OF THESE THINGS THERE'S PRETTY CLEAR CUT STRATEGIES. 
          I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT I REALLY LIKED ACTION FR 6.2 0.2. 
          I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WAS REFERENCED LIKE TWO YEARS AGO AT COUNCIL PRIORITIES. 
          WE WEREN'T SURE WHERE IT WOULD SHOW UP. 
          I, I'M GONNA MENTION IT IN NATURAL RESOURCES, BUT IDENTIFY AND SEEK OPPORTUNITIES TO PRESERVE VACANT PARCELS ADJACENT TO CREEKS AND THE RIVER, UH, WITHIN AND WITHOUT THE CITY. 
          I REALLY LIKE THAT DIRECTION AND SEEING THAT IN THERE. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING THAT ONE. 
          AND CAN I JUST A, A COUPLE THINGS TO THAT POINT. 
          UM, UH, VICE CHAIR KUSON, UM, AND IT KIND OF CAME UP A COUPLE TIMES THAT IT'S REALLY HARD TO LOOK AT SOME THESE SOMETIMES IN ISOLATION 'CAUSE THERE'S SO MUCH IN THE LAND USE BOTH THE LAND USE FRAMEWORK BUT ALSO THE LAND USE, LIKE THE LAND USE MAP THAT IS ALSO PROVIDING DIFFERENT THINGS THAT REALLY ADDRESS FLOODING. 
          AND WE KIND OF TALKED ABOUT IT I THINK, UH, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS ABOUT LAND USE A FEW MEETINGS AGO IN TERMS OF LIKE, ARE WE ON THE RIGHT TRACK LOOKING TO TAKE SOME OF THESE PROPERTIES ALONG THE RIVER TO DEINTENSIFY, YOU KNOW, UH, DENSITY IN THESE AREAS, BUT ALSO RECOGNIZING THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO INTENSIFY IN OTHER AREAS. 
          SO IT KIND OF GETS TO THAT CONVERSATION THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING AND WE WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT IF WE'RE GONNA DEINTENSIFY SOME AREAS, WE HAVE TO FIND OTHER AREAS TO INCREASE THE DENSITY INTENSITY FOR THAT, ESPECIALLY FOR THAT NO NET LOSS WITH RESIDENTIAL. 
          SO, UM, AND THEN I JUST WANNA, AS WE'RE CLOSING, JUST ALSO FOR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE LISTENING, UM, AND DIDN'T KIND OF HEAR THE BEGINNING OF THIS CONVERSATION, WE ARE GOING TO BE COMING BACK MM-HMM. 
           TO THE FLOOD RESILIENCY FRAMEWORK AT THE JUNE 25TH MEETING. 
          MM-HMM. 
          , UM, TO HEAR THE AD HOCS COMMENTS ON THIS, UM, AND HAVE A DISCUSSION, UM, WITH THE COMMISSION. 
          SO THIS WAS KIND OF THE FIRST BITE. 
          AND, UM, WE ARE, YOU KNOW, THANKFUL TO HAVE, UM, SEBASTIAN HERE WITH HIS WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE THAT WENT INTO THIS. 
          [01:05:01]
SO THANK YOU. 
          AND ONE THING I JUST WANTED TO SAY, 'CAUSE WE ARE, WE HAVE UNFORTUNATELY LOST FEW OF OUR AD HOC COMMITTEE MEMBERS, SO WE'RE TAKING A LITTLE BIT LONGER ON THIS. 
          BUT HAVING GONE THROUGH A CHUNK OF IT ALREADY FOR REVIEW, I AM INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE FLEXIBILITY THAT THIS LEAVES, UH, A LOT OF THESE FRAMEWORKS, BY THEIR DEFINITION, CAN'T BE PRESCRIPTIVE. 
          AND I RECOGNIZE THAT JUST BECAUSE THEY LEAD TO ZONING CODE, THEY LEAD TO BUILDING CODE, THEY LEAD TO SPECIFIC DISCUSSIONS WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD YET. 
          BUT HAVING GONE THROUGH A GOOD FOUR YEARS OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN A CERTAIN WAY BECAUSE OF RIGID FLOOD POLICY THAT WE KNOW IS INCORRECT, I AM GRATEFUL THAT THIS TAKES THE TIME TO RECOGNIZE, UM, AS TO YOUR POINT IN THE PRESENTATION THAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS, BUT WE'RE ALSO BEING MINDFUL OF NOT OVER OVERWORKING OUR SOLUTION FOR THE FUTURE, WHERE WE'RE NOT EVEN SURE WHAT CONSEQUENCES THOSE WILL HAVE YET. 
          AND WITH THAT, I BELIEVE WE'RE GOING TO OUR SECOND PRESENTATION, WHICH WILL BE ON THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          AND I THINK, UH, DELLA WITH RCON IS KICKING THIS ONE OFF. 
          HI, DELLA. 
          HI. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YES. 
          I WILL BE TAKING YOU THROUGH THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT FRAMEWORK. 
          SO THIS FRAMEWORK REALLY FOCUSES ON, FOCUSES INTEGRATING THE CITY AND COMMUNITY'S GOALS FOR BIODIVERSITY AND SUSTAINABILITY INTO ALL ASPECTS OF PETALUMA'S FUTURE. 
          AND IT'S SPECIFICALLY HOW TO MANAGE AND PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES AND NATURAL OPEN SPACE. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO, JUST A FEW QUICK HIGHLIGHTS ABOUT WHERE WE ARE TODAY. 
          PETALUMA ALREADY HAS A STRONG COMMITMENT TO PRESERVING OPEN SPACE AND MANAGING THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES AND HABITAT AND THE RIVER, AS WE JUST HAD A LONG DISCUSSION ON FLOODING. 
          THE RIVER IS A SIGNIFICANT ASPECT OF THIS. 
          UH, THE RIVER FUNCTIONS AS KIND OF A SPINE FOR THE CITY AND HAS A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE ECOSYSTEM, THE CULTURE. 
          UM, BUT IT DOES REQUIRE ONGOING ENHANCEMENT AND PRESERVATION. 
          AND, UH, WE ARE IN THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT FRAMEWORK. 
          WE ARE REALLY LOOKING AT THE RIVER FROM A NATURAL RESOURCES PERSPECTIVE, WHEREAS THE FLOOD RESILIENCE FRAMEWORK YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT, UH, CLEARLY THAT DIGS DEEPER INTO FLOODING ALONG THE RIVER. 
          AND THEN THERE'S ALSO THE PARTS OF RECREATION FRAMEWORK THAT DISCUSSES RECREATION ALONG THE RIVER AND UPDATING THE ACCESS AND ENHANCEMENT PLAN. 
          THERE'S ALSO A RICH BIODIVERSITY IN THE AREA, AND A LOT OF SPECIAL STATUS TREES THAT HAVE HABITAT IN OUR NEAR PETALUMA. 
          THE URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARIES ARE PART OF THIS THAT HELP, THEY HELP PRESERVE THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE NATURAL AND THE WORKING LANDS AREAS IN THE COUNTY JURISDICTION AND THE URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          SO A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE BIODIVERSITY. 
          IN PETALUMA, THERE'S SEVERAL TYPES OF HABITAT PRESENT IN THE AREA. 
          UH, THE WETLANDS IN PARTICULAR HAVE A LOT OF SENSITIVE CONSIDERATIONS AND LEGAL REQUIREMENTS AND BENEFITS. 
          AND ALTHOUGH MOST OF THEM ARE OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS, OBVIOUSLY WHAT THE CITY DOES AFFECTS 'EM. 
          THERE ARE ALSO MANY WILDLIFE BORDERS IN THE AREA THAT ARE MAPPED THROUGH SEVERAL LOCAL EFFORTS AND, UH, REGIONAL EFFORTS AND CONNECTED TO THOSE REGIONAL CORRIDORS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY. 
          AND AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THERE ARE SEVERAL SPECIAL STATUS PLANTED ANIMAL SPECIES HISTORICALLY LOCATED IN THE AREA. 
          THE CALIFORNIA RED-LEGGED FROGS, THE CALIFORNIA TIGER SALAMANDER ARE A COUPLE OF NOTABLE ONES THAT HAVE CRITICAL HABITAT IN PETALUMA AND ARE PROTECTED BY BOTH FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS. 
          UM, THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, I BELIEVE THAT WAS SPOKEN UP EARLIER AS WELL, IN AND AROUND THE CITY. 
          AND WHILE THESE ARE SOMEWHAT FRAGMENTED AT THE MOMENT, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURE, THEY DO HELP TO PRESERVE THE VISTAS AND IMPORTANT HABITATS AND WILDLIFE MOVEMENT. 
          AND THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY THERE. 
          SO THE FRAMEWORKS WERE DEVELOPED IN LINE WITH THE VISION AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT ARE LISTED HERE TO STRIVE FOR PETALUMA TO BE A VIBRANT RIVER TOWN, DEEPLY CONNECTED TO ITS CULTURAL AND NATURAL ROOTS, UH, COMMUNITY THAT'S COMMITTED TO PROTECTING AND RESTORING THE LANDSCAPES AND HABITATS AND BEING INNOVATIVE AND FOR FORWARD THINKING WITH POLICY AND ACTIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          AND FOR THE GOALS, THE GOALS OF THE FRAMEWORK ARE, 
          [01:10:01]
AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, THEY ARE REALLY FOCUSED ON PETALS COMMITMENT TO INTEGRATING WITH NATURE, UM, AND INTEGRATING THAT WITH THE COMMUNITY LIFE AND THE DAILY DECISION MAKING, AS WELL AS MANAGING WATER RESOURCES, INCREASING THE LEVEL OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE ACROSS THE CITY, UM, EMBRACING NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE IN PETALUMA AND FORMING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE LOCAL TRIBES. 
          AND PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THESE HAVE SOME LEVEL OF, UH, CONNECTION TO OTHER TOPICS AND OTHER FRAMEWORKS. 
          SO AS, UH, I THINK HEATHER MENTIONED ABOUT THE OVERARCHING CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THESE TOPICS, EACH GOAL IS SUPPORTED BY POLICIES, AS I'M SURE YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE FRAMEWORK STRUCTURE AT THIS POINT. 
          UM, THE POLICIES IN THIS FRAMEWORK RANGE FROM PRESERVING AND ENHANCING NATURAL AREAS, HAVING THOUGHTFUL APPROACHES TO WATER RESOURCES AND INFRASTRUCTURE PRESERVING NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE. 
          UM, AND THESE FIRST COUPLE GOALS REALLY HIT ON THE OVERALL INTEGRATION WITH NATURE AND STEWARDSHIP. 
          UM, SO THE FIRST ONE, A COMMUNITY INTEGRATED WITH NATURE IS, IS REALLY KIND OF A FOUNDATIONAL GOAL AND POLICY DESIGNED TOWARD PRESERVING THE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP OF THE COMMUNITY, UH, IN ITS DECISION MAKING AND COMMUNITY INITIATIVES AND INTEGRATING NATURAL RESOURCES PLANNING INTO URBAN PLANNING. 
          SECOND GOAL, UH, HEALTHY, PROTECTED AND PRODUCTIVE NATURAL LANDS IS ABOUT DEVELOPING A MORE COHESIVE NETWORK OF HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE NATURAL LANDS AND FACILITATING A COEXISTENCE OF PEOPLE IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. 
          AND THE POLICIES UNDER THAT ARE, UM, THE FIRST TWO ARE AROUND CREATING NETWORKS TO HELP WITH HABITATS, WILDLIFE BORDERS, WILDLIFE TRAVEL, AND, UM, CON CONNECTING THOSE ALREADY PRESERVED OPEN SPACES THAT YOU SAW ON THE MAP ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE. 
          UM, PRESERVING OPEN SPACE DOES TOUCH ON THAT TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS, AGAIN, OF USING IT AS A TOOL AS DISCUSSED EARLIER, TO CONTINUE, UM, USING TRANSFER DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS TO PRESERVE OPEN SPACE IN AREAS, UH, IN AREAS THAT IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL. 
          AND THEN MAINTAINING NATURAL LANDS IS, UM, ABOUT PLANNING AND, UH, AND ENGAGING WITH THE LOCAL TRIBES AROUND THE NATURAL, NATURAL AND WORKING WINDS. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          UH, GOAL THREE IS AROUND AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT, WHICH DOES OBVIOUSLY TIE INTO THE FLOOD RESILIENCY FRAMEWORK AS WELL. 
          UM, WE'RE REALLY IN THIS ONE LOOKING AT THOSE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT, UH, OPTIONS FOR PROJECTS, UH, MINIMIZING SOIL, SOIL EROSION AND DISCHARGE OF SEDIMENTS, UM, SURFACE WATER RUNOFF, AND, UH, PROMOTING MORE GREEN DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES. 
          AND THEN GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          GOAL FOUR IS TO MAXIMIZE THE USE OF ELEMENTS IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT THAT CONNECT AND SUPPORT NATURAL SPACES AND MITIGATE CLIMATE IMPACTS. 
          SO UTILIZING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, UM, AND DEVELOPING STANDARDS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE, UH, THE PROJECTS ARE, UM, USING THE MOST MODERN TECHNOLOGIES FOR GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          AND THE FINAL ONE IS ON NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE. 
          PRE PRESERVING, HONORING, PROTECTING THE NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, REALLY NOT JUST THROUGH CONSULTATION, BUT THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE LOCAL NATIVE TRIBES AND ALLOWING THEM TO BE AT THE TABLE TABLE AND ASSISTING WITH THE ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT IN PETALUMA. 
          I THINK THAT CONCLUDES THE OVERVIEW, AND I THINK, UM, WE'LL TURN IT BACK TO YOU CHAIR HOOPER FOR THE AD HOC PRESENTATION. 
          WELL, ON THAT NOTE, I'LL BE TURNING THAT OVER TO VICE CHAIR ATKISSON TO GIVE HIS PRESENTATION. 
          ALRIGHT, THANK YOU. 
          UH, I'M IN THE ZOOM, LET ME POP UP MY POWERPOINT HERE AND WE CAN GET IT GOING. 
          OKAY. 
          CAN EVERYBODY SEE THE SCREEN? I'M SEEING IT ON THE, IN THE CHAMBERS HERE, SO I WILL START THE PRESENTATION. 
          SO WE JUST GOT THE OVERVIEW. 
          [01:15:01]
AGAIN, THIS PRESENTATION KIND OF ASSUMES THAT WE'VE GOTTEN THAT BACKGROUND ALREADY. 
          UM, OUR GROUP AGAIN IS JANICE, ROGER, MYSELF. 
          WE ALSO COORDINATED WITH, UH, SOME OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF THE GPAC OPEN SPACE AD HOC, OF WHICH JANICE WAS A MEMBER. 
          UH, WENT TO AN INFORMAL MEETING OF THAT GROUP, WHICH WAS PRETTY INFORMATIVE TO GET SOME OF US UP TO SPEED. 
          UM, SO WE WILL JUST ADVANCE THROUGH, I REUSED MY PRESENTATION FROM LAST TIME. 
          SO HERE'S A SCREEN ON OUR OVERALL NOTES ON INTERPRETING THE GENERAL PLAN. 
          JUST TO ADD TO THIS, I'LL SAY, AS WE'VE READ MORE AND MORE FRAMEWORKS, WE FIND ELEMENTS THAT WE THOUGHT WERE MISSING FROM ONE AREA ARE ACTUALLY PRESENT SOMEWHERE ELSE, WHETHER THERE'S A WISDOM TO DOING A REORGANIZATION BETWEEN FRAMEWORKS OR IF WE HAVE THE CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL BE IN THE GENERAL PLAN SOMEWHERE. 
          UM, I THINK SOME OF THAT DISCUSSION COMES LATER WHEN WE SEE THE ACTUAL ELEMENTS. 
          UH, BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING, ESPECIALLY WITH THE, UM, HEALTH, UH, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL EQUITY. 
          WE SAW A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT MIGHT BE MISSING ELSEWHERE. 
          ALRIGHT, SO NATURAL ENVIRONMENT FRAMEWORK. 
          UH, I'M GONNA SUMMARIZE KIND OF THE OVERARCHING POINTS. 
          UH, I THINK RON POINTED OUT THERE'S THIS QUESTION OF HOW TREES AND THE URBAN FOREST SHOULD BE MENTIONED OR SHOULDN'T IT IN THIS FRAMEWORK. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, ANOTHER TOPIC THAT CAME UP WAS PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY. 
          WE TALK ABOUT CONNECTIONS TO OPEN SPACE AND CORRIDORS TO CONNECT US TO OPEN SPACE. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT ABOUT IT AS PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY REALLY ARE THAT FIRST CONNECTION TO GET US FROM RESIDENTIAL OR DEVELOPED AREAS INTO OPEN SPACE. 
          UM, NOW WHETHER OR NOT IT'S APPROPRIATE TO INCLUDE HERE, THERE WERE AREAS THAT SEEMED LIKE THAT PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY COULD BE INCLUDED IN SOME OF THE POLICY PIECES. 
          UH, NEXT WE TALKED ABOUT WILDLIFE CORRIDORS. 
          IT IS MENTIONED IN ONE AREA HERE, UM, TO KIND OF EXTEND WILDLIFE CORRIDORS, BUT I DIDN'T SEE, OR WE DIDN'T SEE A FIRM ACTION WHERE WE'VE KIND OF IDENTIFIED AND MAPPED THEM AND IT, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING IN EXISTING CONDITIONS THAT WE MISSED. 
          BUT THAT WAS ONE, UH, KIND OF OVERARCHING TOPIC. 
          THEN THERE WAS THIS TOPIC OF PRIORITY OPEN SPACES. 
          I MENTIONED, UH, JUST IN THIS LAST PRESENTATION ABOUT FLOOD RESILIENCY, HOW I LIKED THAT WE WERE IDENTIFYING PARCELS BY THE RIVER TO POTENTIALLY SAVE. 
          AND, UM, THE CITY OF FAIRFAX ACTUALLY IS AN OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE, AND THEY'VE IDENTIFIED PARCELS WITHIN THEIR CITY THAT ARE PRIORITY OPEN SPACES. 
          SO THAT TOPIC COMES UP. 
          AND THEN RIVER ACCESS AND ENHANCEMENT, OF COURSE, IS KIND OF CENTRAL TO ANYTHING NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. 
          SO GOAL ONE COMMUNITY INTEGRATED WITH NATURE. 
          UM, IT HAS ONE POLICY, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, AND THAT HAS NO ACTIONS UNDERNEATH IT. 
          SO WE THOUGHT THERE COULD BE A LITTLE MORE PUT IN HERE. 
          IT'S A BIG OVERARCHING GOAL OR POLICY, BUT WE THOUGHT THERE COULD BE A LITTLE MORE MEAT ON THE BONE HERE, WHETHER THAT IS, UH, I PUT SOME EXAMPLES THERE. 
          CAPACITY BUILDING ON STAFF IN TERMS OF TRAINING TO UNDERSTAND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP. 
          UM, CONSULTANT REVIEW, BRINGING SOMEONE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF ASSESSMENT OF CITY PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES WHEN IT COMES TO OUR IMPACTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT. 
          UH, WE HAD ALSO PUT IN THERE, YOU KNOW, IN OUR NOTES, WHETHER IT'S CALLING OUT EX POTENTIAL LAND USE CHANGES THAT HAVE MORE EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATE RESIDENTIAL AREAS OR DEVELOPED AREAS WITH OPEN SPACE. 
          UH, THERE'S JUST SOME ITEMS I THINK WE COULD DRAW FROM THERE TO FLESH THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY IMPORTANT CONCEPTS AND MAYBE IT'S IMPLICIT THAT THESE ARE GONNA LACE THROUGH OUR THINKING, BUT WE THOUGHT THAT THERE COULD BE SOME MORE ACTIONS AND SOME MORE ITEMS ADDED IN THERE TO FLESH OUT WHAT IS A REALLY IMPORTANT CONCEPT. 
          UH, GOAL E NV TWO, HEALTHY, PROTECTED AND PRODUCTIVE NATURAL LANDS. 
          THIS WAS A VERY BIG SECTION AND I CALL OUT TWO POLICIES THERE AT THE BEGINNING THAT WE THOUGHT MIGHT NEED TO HAVE THEIR NAMES SWAPPED AS WE READ THE ACTION ITEMS. UH, POLICY ENV 2.1 WAS CALLED, CALLED CREATE A NETWORK OF HEALTHY HABITATS. 
          UH, ENV 2.2 WAS CREATE A NETWORK OF O UH, CREATE A NETWORK OF OPEN SPACES. 
          AND WE THOUGHT THAT THEY MIGHT JUST JUDGING FROM THE ACTIONS THEY MIGHT BE DUE FOR A NAME SWAP OR SOMEHOW CONDENSE THAT LIST. 
          THEY JUST, IT WAS HARD TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE TWO. 
          AND AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO LIKE A REORGANIZING FRAMEWORK MINUTIA, BUT IT, IT JUST STRUCK US THAT MAYBE THAT WAS ACCIDENTAL, THAT THOSE NAMES SHOULD BE SWAPPED. 
          UM, BECAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE THE FIRST PART WAS REALLY ABOUT CREATING NETWORKS OF OPEN SPACES. 
          AND PART TWO MENTIONS WHILE, OR POLICY 2.2 MENTIONS WILDLIFE CORRIDORS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          UH, SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IN 2.1, UH, AGAIN, THIS PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY AS CORRIDORS FIRST JUMPED OUT THINKING ABOUT HOW WE BEAUTIFY AND ENHANCE OUR PUBLIC, UH, RIGHT OF WAY TO ACT AS CORRIDORS TO OPEN SPACE. 
          UH, WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE REFERENCE TO THE A TP MASTER PLAN, UH, BECAUSE A LOT OF THAT TALKS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF TRAILS, THE INTERCONNECTIVITY OF TRAILS, WHICH ARE OSTENSIBLY LEADING US TO OPEN SPACE. 
          AND WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO REFERENCE EITHER STANDARDS OR POLICIES THERE, OR AT LEAST PULL THAT DOCUMENT IN SOMEHOW, BECAUSE THAT DOES HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH OUR TRAIL SYSTEM AND HOW WE CONNECT TO OPEN SPACES. 
          UH, AND THEN WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THROUGH A PLANNING LENS, 
          [01:20:01]
HOW WE CAN MAYBE EXPLORE STRATEGIES TO HAVE NEW APPLICANTS OR DEVELOPERS CONTRIBUTE TO OPEN SPACE GOALS. 
          NOW, RIGHT NOW WE HAVE KIND OF A PARKS PER THOUSAND PEOPLE OR PARKS PER ACRE, UM, DEVELOPMENT FEE. 
          AND, AND I'M, UH, BUTCHERING THAT A LITTLE BIT RIGHT NOW, BUT WE WONDER IF THERE COULD BE SOMETHING SIMILAR FOR OPEN SPACE. 
          YOU KNOW, SOME KIND OF CITYWIDE GOAL THAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR, OR FEE STRUCTURE THAT IS TRYING TO REACH A CERTAIN RATIO OF OPEN SPACE TO PEOPLE OR DEVELOPED LAND OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          IF THAT WAS WORTH EXPLORING, WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT, IT MIGHT FIT THERE AND CREATE A NETWORK OF OPEN SPACES. 
          UH, LIKE I SAID, 2.2, AGAIN, WE ADVOCATED FOR A NAME SWAP. 
          UH, MAYBE ADD AN ACTION THAT TALKS ABOUT IDENTIFYING OR MAPPING EXISTING WILDLIFE CORRIDORS. 
          UH, THAT SEEMED TO BE CENTRAL TO THE CONCEPT OF THAT POLICY WAS, YOU KNOW, ENHANCING OR EXTENDING WILDLIFE CORRIDORS. 
          BUT WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE KNOW WHERE THE CURRENT ONES ARE. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY AS CORRIDORS CAME UP AS ANOTHER THEME THERE. 
          AND THEN WE GET INTO POLICY ENV 2.3, PRESERVE OPEN SPACE. 
          AND THIS IS WHERE I PULLED IN THIS CONCEPT OF DO WE EXPLORE SOME KIND OF PRIORITY OPEN SPACE IDENTIFICATION POLICY AT THE CITY. 
          SO WE KNOW, AND THIS WOULD PROBABLY INVOLVE CREATING OUR OWN METRICS, RIGHT? LIKE WE LOOK AT BIODIVERSITY OR, UH, LOCATION IN TERMS OF ADJACENCY TO EXISTING OPEN SPACES OR OTHER SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL SITES. 
          SOME KIND OF METRIC TO IDENTIFY WHAT PARCELS WITHIN THE CITY THAT ARE OPEN SPACE KIND OF HAVE MAYBE THE HIGHEST PRIORITY TO KEEP IT THAT WAY, IF THAT'S WORTH EXPLORING. 
          UH, POLICY ENV 2.4, MAINTAIN NATURAL LANDS. 
          SO THAT POLICY, WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION, JUST UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW, NATURAL LANDS. 
          IT'S THE FIRST TIME THAT'S USED AND I THINK IT'S THE ONLY PLACE THAT'S USED AND WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTOOD IT. 
          IF THAT WAS REFERENCING OPEN SPACE, IF THAT WAS REFERENCING THE OPEN AREA OF DEVELOPED PARCELS, IT SEEMED LIKE IT COULD MEAN BOTH. 
          SO WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE UNDERSTOOD THAT DEFINITION OR CLARIFY THAT AS MUCH AS WE CAN. 
          UH, SO I WILL MOVE ON. 
          THERE'S A LOT MORE IN OUR NOTES IN OUR SUPPORTING DOCUMENT, BUT IN THE INTEREST OF KEEPING THIS PRESENTATION IN SOME REASONABLE TIMEFRAME, I'LL MOVE US TO GOAL ENV THREE, WHICH IS WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. 
          SO ONE OVERARCHING THING WE PULL OUT RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING, WE SAW A LOT OF PARALLELS WITH UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          WE FEEL LIKE WE FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOME REALLY GOOD LANGUAGE, ESPECIALLY IN POLICY 3.4 THAT COULD BE MIRRORED AS APPROPRIATE IN UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          AGAIN, MAYBE MAKING SURE LANGUAGE BETWEEN FRAMEWORKS IS CONSISTENT ISN'T OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY BECAUSE ALL THESE WILL EVENTUALLY BUILD INTO ELEMENTS, BUT WE WANTED TO CALL THAT OUT. 
          WE LIKE THE WAY THIS DESCRIBED SOME STORMWATER, ESPECIALLY STORMWATER TREATMENT AND PLANS RELATED TO STORMWATER. 
          WE THOUGHT, MAN, UTILITIES MIGHT BE SERVED BY TAKING SOME OF THIS STRONG LANGUAGE FROM THIS AREA. 
          UH, SO POLICY ENV 3.2 STOOD OUT, PROTECT THE RIVER AND CREEKS. 
          OF COURSE, THE PETALUMA RIVER IS A HUGE CENTRAL PART OF THIS SECTION. 
          AND WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE WORTH ADDING AN ACTION, MAYBE THIS IS IMPLICIT ALREADY ONGOING, MAYBE IT'S PRESENT IN ANOTHER FRAMEWORK, BUT WORKING WITH THE APPROPRIATE REGIONAL AGENCIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE SOURCES OF POLLUTION FOR THE PETALUMA RIVER AND THE WATERSHED, UH, JUST TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A HANDLE ON WHAT IS COMING FROM UPSTREAM. 
          IF WE'RE GONNA DEVELOP EFFECTIVE MITIGATIONS, IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW MAYBE WHAT, WHERE, WHAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR. 
          AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO THIS PIECE ABOUT RIVER CONNECTIVITY AND WHETHER THIS IS ALL IMPLIED IN THE PETALUMA RIVER, UH, ACCESS AND ENHANCEMENT PLAN. 
          BUT IN SPEAKING WITH SOME FOLKS WHO WORK WITH THE, UH, LAUNCH DOCK THERE, UM, WHO DO SOME OF THE, WHAT DO I WANNA SAY? THE ROBOS OR THE KAYAKING AND THE PETALUMA RIVER, THEY WANTED TO ADVOCATE FOR DEVELOPING A PLAN REGARDING CONNECTIVITY TO HAVE A KIND OF A MASTER PLAN OF WHERE BOAT LAUNCHES WOULD BE. 
          SOME KIND OF DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE HAVE RIVER ACCESS FOR HUMANS? SHOULD WE INTEGRATE ONE OR TWO OVERLOOKS THAT WAS, UH, COUNCIL MEMBER CATER THOMPSON'S IDEA? WELL, SHOULD WE HAVE A PLAN FOR WHERE AND HOW MANY OVERLOOKS WE MAY WANNA HAVE ON THE PETALUMA RIVER? THAT IDEA OF MAKING SURE WE'VE PLANNED THE HUMAN CONNECTION AND ACCESS TO THE RIVER, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT BETTER ACCESS AND CONNECTIVITY WITH NATURAL RESOURCES ENHANCES OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM AND MAKES US WANNA PROTECT THEM. 
          UH, POLICY ENV 3.4. 
          THIS IS PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES. 
          ONE BIG THING THAT STOOD OUT HERE AS WE REVIEWED KIND SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS BEING IMPLIED, IT WAS BROUGHT UP THAT THERE'S, UH, WE ALL I THINK KNOW ABOUT LEED CERTIFICATION. 
          APPARENTLY THERE'S LEED DASH ND, WHICH IS NEIGHBORHOOD DESIGN STANDARDS. 
          AND WE WONDERED IF IT WAS WORTH, NOW I DON'T KNOW WHERE LEED STANDS NOWADAYS IN RELATION TO KIND OF CAL GREEN AND SOME OF THESE OTHER BUILDING CODES, BUT WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD EXPLORE, YOU KNOW, THAT CERTIFICATION OR MAYBE USING ITEMS WITHIN 
          [01:25:01]
THAT CERTIFICATION PROCESS AS KIND OF A PROMPT FOR OUR OWN ASSESSMENT OF PROJECTS IN TERMS OF THEIR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES, UH, GOAL ENV FOUR, GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          SO I THINK THE BIG ONE HERE, AND IT REALLY CONSISTS OF POLICY, ENV 4.1, WHICH IS UTILIZING GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THIS HAS SOME ELEMENTS OF BUILDING TECHNIQUES, UH, BUT IT SEEMED LIKE THE ONE BIG THING THAT WAS MISSING WAS MENTION OF TREES. 
          AND THERE WAS ONE ACTION EVEN IN HERE THAT TALKS ABOUT DEVELOP A ROBUST LIST OF NATIVE DROUGHT TOLERANT, CLIMATE RESILIENT SPECIES THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH VARIOUS GREEN STORMWATER MANAGEMENT METHODS. 
          AND IT JUST FELT LIKE WE WERE MISSING THE WORD TREES AND WE WERE KIND OF SKIRTING AROUND THAT MAYBE THAT WAS PURPOSEFUL BECAUSE THIS SECTION WASN'T INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS TREES. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT, WE SAID, YOU KNOW, THE ORIGINAL GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE WAS TREES AND NATIVE PLANTS. 
          UH, SO WHETHER THAT'S MENTIONED HERE AS APPROPRIATE AND WE MADE SOME RED LINE COMMENTS OF HOW THAT COULD BE INSERTED, WE THEN ALSO SUPPOSE THAT THAT SHOULD PROBABLY BE A GOAL WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK. 
          UH, AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO SEMANTICS OF MOVING THINGS BETWEEN FRAMEWORKS, BUT AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, HAVING OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT PIECE WHERE WE TALK ABOUT GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE, INTEGRATING OPEN SPACES, NOT TALKING ABOUT TREES, NOT TALKING ABOUT TREES IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, OUR URBAN FORESTRY MASTER PLAN, IT JUST FELT LIKE THAT THAT BELONGED HERE. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT WILL SPILL OVER ORGANIZATIONALLY INTO OUR GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS IN A WAY THAT KIND OF HELPS US CENTRALIZE WHERE TREE POLICY COULD GO BECAUSE IT DOES TOUCH ON SO MANY OTHER AREAS OF POLICY. 
          BUT REALLY A LOT OF THE URBAN FORESTRY MASTER PLAN FRAMEWORK REALLY APPLIES TO OPEN SPACE AND DEVELOPED LAND AND TREES THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          SO WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE REALLY APPROPRIATE TO HAVE A GOAL WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK THAT REALLY CENTERED ON TREES AND THEN HAVE SUPPORTING POLICIES IN THE OTHER FRAMEWORKS. 
          UH, AND THEN GOAL ENV FIVE, NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE, WE UPDATED SOME AREAS OF THAT PLAN TO KIND OF STRENGTHEN INSTEAD OF LIKE EXPLORING, UM, MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES USED BY INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, WE SAID JUST RESEARCH AND IMPLEMENT, UM, SOME AREAS, SOME THINGS LIKE THAT TO REALLY STRENGTHEN THAT CONNECTION. 
          UH, ONE QUESTION WE ASKED WAS WHETHER THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED. 
          IF IT WAS NECESSARY TO INCLUDE A MENTION OF TRIBES OR NATIVE PEOPLES BEYOND JUST GREAT RANCHERIA, UH, FEDERATED INDIANS OF GREAT RANCHERIA OR WHETHER THAT WASN'T APPROPRIATE FOR A POLICY DOCUMENT. 
          WE JUST KIND OF FLOATED THAT OUT THERE AS AN OVERARCHING QUESTION FOR THIS SECTION. 
          UH, AND THEN SOMETHING THAT CAME UP IN OUR MEETING, BUT I DIDN'T PUT IN THE PRESENTATION WAS HOW MUCH WE SHOULD EITHER REFERENCE, EXPLORE, EVEN MENTION THE KIND OF LAND BACK MOVEMENT, WHICH WHEN YOU GET INTO KIND OF NATIVE PEOPLES AND INDIGENOUS, UH, WHAT DO I WANNA SAY, POLITICS OR POLICY. 
          YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE BIG DRIVING CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW IS, YOU KNOW, THE LAND BACK MOVEMENT. 
          YES, IT'S GREAT TO INVITE PEOPLE ON TO SHOW US HOW THEY WOULD MANAGE THE LAND, BUT ARE THERE STRATEGIES WHERE WE COULD ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, PUT SOME SENSITIVE PARCELS ACTUALLY IN POSSESSION OF PEOPLES THAT, THAT HAVE, UH, CULTURALLY MANAGED THEM FOR CENTURIES. 
          UH, THEN THE LAST ONE, GOAL, ENVX URBAN FORESTRY, I JUST SAID MY PIECE ON THAT. 
          WE THINK IT'S WORTH HAVING A DEDICATED GOAL TO URBAN FORESTRY. 
          OKAY, SO I'M GONNA SCROLL BACK. 
          I'M GONNA GO BACK IN TIME TO SOME OF THE OVERARCHING DISCUSSION POINTS. 
          UH, AND THEN I THINK WE JUST OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, IF YOU CAN SPEAK TO THESE GREAT. 
          OR JUST COMMENTS ON THE FRAMEWORK IN GENERAL. 
          ROGER, UM, MIKE MICROPHONE. 
          ROGER. 
          OH, MICROPHONE ROGER. 
          YEAH, I, I THINK THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION OF THE TREE STREET TREES OR URBAN FORESTRY OR WHERE THEY FOLLOW IN, IN NATURAL ENVIRONMENT OR MANMADE ENVIRONMENT OR URBAN DESIGN, UH, IT, IT'S A BIG QUESTION IN MY MIND. 
          AND I, AND I, AND I'D LIKE TO SOMEHOW SEE IN THE GOAL OF THE, OF THE, OF THE LAND USE PLAN THAT TO BE A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF A FULL STREET TREE PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF PET PETALUMA. 
          WHAT'S THE COST? I MEAN, I CAN'T, I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN AFFORD IT OR NOT. 
          I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COST IS, BUT I KNOW THERE'S SOME BENEFITS AND I KNOW THERE'S SOME TRADE OFFS, ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY OF PLACE, SHADE, PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS, LINKAGES, ALL KINDS OF BENEFITS. 
          UM, AND I HATE TO SEE US NOT DO IT JUST 'CAUSE THERE'S NO MONEY PRESENTLY NO MONEY. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE PUT THAT INTO THE THINKING PROCESS, BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE IT, UH, CONSIDERED. 
          UM, FOR INSTANCE, I THINK A GOAL TO ACHIEVE A TREELINE, PUBLIC STREETS AND BOULEVARDS LINKING TO AND THROUGHOUT THE DOWNTOWN SHADED PEDESTRIAN WALKS AND BIKE, INCLUDING SHADED PEDESTRIAN WALKS AND BIKE TRAILS. 
          AND THE STREETS I'VE NAMED ARE THE BOULEVARD, PEDALLING BOULEVARD, 
          [01:30:01]
WASHINGTON, WESTERN MCDOWELL, LAKEVIEW, ELI, AND D STREET. 
          THOSE ARE IN MY MIND THE PRIMARY IMAGE STREETS AND THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE STREETS THAT WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT. 
          UM, AND THEN THE PO POLICY IS TO ESTABLISH AN URBAN FORESTRY CONSULTING TEAM OR CONSULTING TEAM, OR A DEPARTMENT WITHIN THE PUBLIC WORKS OR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. 
          I'M NOT SURE WHERE THAT SHOULD GO OR WHO SHOULD MANAGE IT, BUT IT SHOULD BE A TEAM, UH, AND EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE CONCEPTS AND PRIORITIES FOR STREETSCAPE STUDIES, EDGES, PARKWAYS MEDIANS AND SUCH. 
          SO I'M NOT SAYING THERE'S A SOLUTION, BUT I THINK THE STREET SHOULD BE LOOKED AT IN TERMS OF WHAT IS THE BEST SOLUTION. 
          UM, AND THEN ESTABLISH FINANCIAL SOURCES AND BUDGETS AND PRIORITIES, ACCOMPLISH THE ABOVE. 
          AND THEN ACTION, UH, DEVELOPED STREET TREE MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM FOR THE KEY ROADS, CORRIDORS, AND NOTED ABOVE ESTABLISHED PRIORITY STREETS FOR STREET TREE IMPROVEMENTS, IMPLEMENTS, STREET TREE PLANNING AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM. 
          SO THE, I MEAN THAT, SO SOMEHOW, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT FITS, UH, OR WHAT ELEMENT THAT FITS IN, BUT IT SEEMS TO KIND OF TOUCH MANY DIFFERENT, UH, ELEMENTS. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          UM, I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE FOCUS ON PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY AND KIND OF WHAT THAT MEANS FOR ESSENTIAL STREET TREES POLICY. 
          UH, ONE THING THAT CAME UP, AND WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DIG INTO IT FOR THE PRESENTATION WE'RE GONNA DO LATER IN THIS MEETING WAS HOW DO YOU PRIORITIZE STREET TREES FOR OUR EQUITY PRIORITY AREAS WHERE YOU'VE GOT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IT'S EITHER NEWER OR CERTAINLY A LOT OLDER THAT REALLY JUST HASN'T GOTTEN THE SAME AMOUNT OF LOVE OR DESIGN ATTENTION. 
          RIGHT? AND, AND HOW YOU IMPLEMENT THAT IN AREAS THAT ARE, UH, IN MORE NEED BUT MAY HAVE FAR LESS RESOURCES FOR IT. 
          UH, AND I DID WANT TO SAY I REALLY APPRECIATE IT, EVEN THOUGH I KNOW YOU SAID IT WASN'T PART OF THE MAIN PART OF THE PRESENTATION, BUT TALKING ABOUT HOW WE INCLUDE THE DISCUSSION OF TRIBES AND NATIVE PEOPLES IN THIS PLAN, UH, THAT IT CAME UP A BIT IN OUR DISCUSSION THAT'LL POP UP A BIT LATER. 
          BUT REALLY HOW WE ACKNOWLEDGE PETALUMA'S HISTORY AND ALL OF THIS AND HOW WE MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM, TAKING CARE OF SOME OF OUR MORE SENSITIVE PARCELS YEAH. 
          DO WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE SOME OF THAT LAND BACK? DO WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO THE RIGHT THING THERE FROM HISTORIC PERSPECTIVE? AND IT'S JUST NOT JUST WITH NATIVE PEOPLES. 
          WE HAVE THAT ISSUE WITH THE, THE CHINATOWN THAT WAS KIND OF DESTROYED IN OUR DOWNTOWN. 
          HISTORICALLY. 
          WE HAVE THAT ISSUE WITH THE FARMERS THAT GOT ESSENTIALLY FORCIBLY EVICTED IN WORLD WAR II. 
          WE HAVE A LOT OF THAT HERE THAT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT. 
          SO WHEN, WHERE THERE'S PLACES TO EJECT THAT INTO OUR PLAN, I THINK IS INCREDIBLY HEALTHY AND IMPORTANT. 
          UM, ALTHOUGH MY OVERALL COMMENT IS JUST GONNA BE, I THINK YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB. 
          CAN I JUST, ONE, ONE POINT THAT YOU MENTIONED THAT I WANTED TO CLARIFY, WE DO HAVE AN EXISTING OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION FEE THAT IS CHARGED TO ALL IN ADDITION TO THE PARKLAND ACQUISITION FEE AND IN ADDITION TO THE PARKLAND DEVELOPMENT FEE. 
          SO JUST FOR, FOR BACKGROUND, THERE IS THAT SPECIFIC FEE MM-HMM. 
          . 
          AND THERE IS A, I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO PULL THE RATIO OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT IT'S, IT'S SET A RATIO AT, LOOKED AT THE LAST TIME WE DID THE, THE STUDIES, HOW FAR OFF WE WERE, UM, FROM WHAT WE WANTED TO HAVE AND PROJECTING IT OUT WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT AND SET A FEE TO ACQUIRE BASED ON FAIR MARKET VALUE OF BUYING THOSE PROPERTIES OR BUYING THAT LAND. 
          SO, UM, JUST AS BACKGROUND, VERY EXCITING ACTUALLY, PIECE OF INFORMATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          WELL, WITH THAT, I WAS GONNA ASK, DOES ANYBODY NEED A BREAK BEFORE WE MOVE INTO THE NEXT ITEM? OH, THAT'S RIGHT. 
          WE SHOULD DO PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          UH, I THINK PLANNING TO DO PUBLIC COMMENT ON, ON THE TWO ON BOTH TOGETHER ON NATURAL RESOURCES. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT WE DON'T HAVE A HUGE, I THINK, YEAH, SO I THINK WE WERE PLANNING TO DO NATURAL RESOURCE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND THEN DO PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          RIGHT. 
          FAIR ENOUGH. 
          WELL, IF THERE'S, IF THERE'S NO BIG PUSH FOR A BREAK, WE'LL JUST ROLL RIGHT INTO THE NEXT PRESENTATION. 
          THANK 
          [01:35:01]
YOU. 
          AND THAT'S GONNA BE RON GIVING THAT NEXT PRESENTATION. 
          AND HELLO AGAIN. 
          UM, GIVE ME A SECOND. 
          I'M ADJUSTING SOME THINGS ON MY SCREEN. 
          CAN EVERYONE SEE THE SCREEN WELL ENOUGH AGAIN? YES. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SORRY, MY THINGS ON MY END ARE LOOKING DIFFERENTLY FOR ME. 
          SO, UM, OKAY. 
          SO, UH, YEAH. 
          SO I'M GONNA GIVE A VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE HEALTH EQUITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE FRAMEWORK. 
          I WILL SAY RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT I WAS NOT THE LEAD, UM, AN ANALYST AND AUTHOR OF THIS FRAMEWORK. 
          UM, IT WAS PRIMARILY DONE BY JUAN JUAN RENOSO, WHO WAS ONE OF OUR SENIOR PLANNERS WHOSE EXPERTISE IS IN HEALTH, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. 
          AND HE, AS IS OFTEN THE CASE IN OUR MISSION DRIVEN FIRM, RETURN TO THE, UM, PHILANTHROPY SECTOR, UM, TO WORK ON MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES. 
          UM, THAT BEING SAID, I'M, I'M REASONABLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THE FRAMEWORKS, BUT I'LL APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE IF I CAN'T ANSWER ALL OF WHAT MAY BE SOME OF YOUR DETAILED QUESTIONS. 
          UM, QUICKLY, FOR THOSE UNFAMILIAR, UM, SB 1000 WAS PASSED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE, WHICH REQUIRED THAT ALL CITIES AND COUNTIES, UH, DEVELOP ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENTS AS PART OF THAT. 
          UM, IT, WELL, IT'S TRIGGERED, I SHOULD CLARIFY, IT'S TRIGGERED FOR COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE WHAT'S, SORRY, WHAT'S WHAT'S DEFINED AS DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES, WHICH PETALUMA DOES. 
          AND THOSE IN VERY SIMPLE TERMS ARE AREAS IN WHICH POVERTY INTERFACES, UM, WITH, UH, HIGH POLLUTION OR HEALTH BURDENS. 
          AND FOR COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES, UM, THEY'RE THEN REQUIRED TO PREPARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT OR A SET OF GOALS AND POLICIES ADDRESSING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, UH, THAT ARE DISPERSED IN OTHER GENERAL PLAN ELEMENTS. 
          AND THOSE GOALS AND POLICIES MUST ADDRESS THE FIVE TOPICS LISTED ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN HERE, POLLUTION EXPOSURE, FOOD ACCESS, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, ACCESS TO PUBLIC FACILITIES, AND SAFE AND SANITARY HOMES. 
          SO WE'VE ACTUALLY DONE TWO ROUNDS OF ANALYSIS OF PETALUMA. 
          UM, EARLY ON DURING THE EXISTING CONDITIONS PHASE, WE WENT THROUGH AN EXTENSIVE ANALYSIS, WHICH IS AVAILABLE ON THE PROJECT WEBSITE, IDENTIFYING, UM, WHERE THERE ARE HEALTH AND POLLUTION BURDENS. 
          AND AT THAT POINT DEVELOPED A MAP, UM, IDENTIFYING THOSE POTENTIAL OR PROPOSED DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. 
          IN THIS CASE, WE'RE NOW CALLING THEM EQUITY PRIORITY AREAS. 
          'CAUSE WE THINK THOSE ARE MORE IN LINE WITH THE CITY'S, UM, VALUES AND VISION. 
          UM, AND THOSE AREAS ARE LARGELY A FUNCTION OF NEIGHBORHOODS EXPOSURE TO TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION RELATED IMPACTS, SPECIFICALLY AIR POLLUTION, LIMITED ACCESS TO TRANSIT, AND, UM, HIGH LEVELS OF DIESEL PARTICULATE MATTER. 
          UM, WHAT YOU HAVE ON THE SCREEN HERE IS THE UPDATED MAP, WHICH WE DEVELOPED MORE RECENTLY BASED ON, UH, NEW DATA THAT HAD BEEN BECOME AVAILABLE, BE SINCE WE HAD FIRST DONE THE GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS. 
          THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF INTERFACE BETWEEN ISSUES OF HEALTH EQUITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND THE VISION VALUES AND GUIDING PRINCIPLES, ADOPT, PREPARED BY THE GPAC AND ADOPTED BY COUNCIL. 
          I'M NOT GONNA GO INTO THEM IN DETAIL, BUT IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH THE CITY'S, UM, STRONG VALUES AROUND INCLUS, INCLUSIVITY, EXCUSE ME, INCLUSIVITY, UM, EQUITY, IE MAKING SURE EVERYBODY HAS EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, UM, UM, AND ACCOUNTING FOR PEOPLE'S HISTOR, UH, HISTORY OF DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACTS AND OR DISADVANTAGE WHEN ENSURING ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY, UM, AND REALLY BEING, AGAIN, A LEADER. 
          AS WITH EVERY OTHER TOPIC, BEING A LEADER ON THE TOPIC OF ENVIRON ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. 
          AND IT EVEN, YOU KNOW, GPAC EVEN CALLED OUT ONE OF THE PILLARS FOCUSING SPECIFICALLY ON THESE ISSUES. 
          AND THEN THERE'S A STRONG INTERFACE THERE AS WELL WITH THE EMPHASIS AND THE PILLARS ON PARTICIPATORY GOVERNANCE AND TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT. 
          AND THAT CERTAINLY INCLUDES PROACTIVE EFFORTS TO ENSURE, UM, REPRESENTATIVE PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT. 
          AND YOU'LL SEE THAT A BIT IN THIS FRAMEWORK. 
          THIS IS, UH, A FAIRLY LENGTHY ONE. 
          [01:40:01]
UM, BUT THERE'S A, THERE IS A, A, A, A, A A, SOME, SOME REASONING BEHIND, UH, THIS HIGH NUMBER OF GOALS, NINE GOALS IN THIS CASE. 
          THE FIRST, UM, TWO ARE KIND OF GENERAL IN NATURE. 
          SO ONE, FOCUSING AND JUST REALLY PUTTING THE FLAG IN THE SAND, SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, THE CITY OF PETMAN VERY MUCH PRIORITIZES PUBLIC HEALTH GENERALLY, EVEN THOUGH PUBLIC HEALTH IS OFTEN IN LARGELY OUTSIDE OF A CITY GOVERNMENT'S JURISDICTION. 
          LIKEWISE, GOAL TWO REALLY, UM, TRIES TO ESTABLISH PETALUMA AS A LEADER IN, UM, ADVANCING EQUITY. 
          AND THEN THE NEXT FIVE, UM, OR SIX, EXCUSE ME, FOCUS, WELL FOR THE NEXT FIVE THEN FOCUS ON THOSE FIVE TOPICS THAT I NOTED EARLIER. 
          POLLUTION REDUCTION, ACCESS TO SERVICES, ACCESS TO FOOD SAFE AND SANITARY HOUSING AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. 
          THE SIXTH GOAL THEN ALSO ADDRESSES ANOTHER SB 1000 REQUIREMENT, WHICH FOCUSES ON COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. 
          AND THEN WE ADDED A, UH, A GOAL AT THE END IN RESPONSE TO PETALUMA'S VERY, UH, ROBUST AND RECENT FOCUS ON BEING AN AGE-FRIENDLY CITY. 
          UM, AND SO THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF THE REASONING BEHIND HOW THIS FRAMEWORK IS STRUCTURED. 
          I SHOULD SAY AT THIS POINT, FOLLOWING UP ON SOME EARLIER COMMISSIONER COMMENTS, WE MADE A STRATEGIC DECISION WITH THIS FRAMEWORK FOR, UH, FOR GOOD OR BAD TO, TO TOUCH ON ALL TOPICS. 
          AND IN THIS FRAMEWORK, ADDRESS THOSE THAT ARE EITHER VERY SPECIFIC TO SB 1000 REQUIREMENTS AND OR NOT ADDRESSED ANYWHERE ELSE, BUT WE OTHERWISE ALLOWED AND REALLY ACTUALLY PUT THE SUBSTANCE, MOST OF THE SUBSTANCE RELATED TO SOME OF THESE TOPICS WHERE THEY WERE REALLY CORE TO THE FOCUS OF OTHER FRAMEWORKS. 
          SO PUT THAT IN OTHER FRAMEWORKS. 
          THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THAT ARE HOUSING, WHERE YOU'RE GONNA FIND A LOT OF RELATED AND SUPPORTIVE, UM, GOALS AND POLICIES, UH, IN THE HOUSING ELEMENT AS WELL AS LAND USE. 
          UM, ANOTHER WOULD BE, UM, SERVICES AND FACILITIES. 
          UM, SO WHETHER IT'S IN THE UTILITIES FRAMEWORK, PUBLIC FACILITIES, PARKS OR OTHERS, WE PUT EQUITY ORIENTED, UM, REF, YOU KNOW, PUT POLICIES AND GOALS THAT REFLECTED AN EQUITY ORIENTATION IN THOSE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS THAT EQUITY THREAD WHERE IT BELONGED IN THE FRAMEWORK, FOCUSING ON THOSE SPECIFIC TOPICS. 
          AND THEN WE KINDA REINFORCED, EMPHASIZED THOSE ADDED SUPPLEMENTAL ASPECTS, UM, IN THIS HEALTH AND EQUITY AND, UM, UH, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ELEMENT. 
          SO LET ME JUST, UM, GO THROUGH AT A VERY HIGH LEVEL SOME OF THE POLICIES UNDER EACH OF THESE GOALS AREAS. 
          AGAIN, I'LL TRY TO KEEP IT SHORT. 
          I'M PERSONALLY MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN THE AD HOC COMMITTEES, UM, FEEDBACK ON THE FRAMEWORK. 
          UM, SO THE FIRST ONE, AS I MENTIONED, IS REALLY KIND OF A, UH, SAYING, BEING CLEAR THAT PUBLIC HEALTH IS A VERY HIGH PRIORITY FOR THE CITY, UM, INCLUDING THE INCORPORATION OF WHAT IS A REALLY A NATIONAL PROGRAM OF HEALTH IN ALL SORTS OF POLICIES. 
          AND MAKING SURE THOSE ARE CONSISTENT, UM, ACROSS ALL CITY POLICY. 
          MA UH, MAKING, RECOGNIZING THAT THOUGH THE CITY ISN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST HEALTH SERVICES, IT CAN PLAY A ROLE IN PROMOTING AND, AND INCREASING ACCESS TO THOSE IN THE CITY. 
          UM, REALLY PARTNERING, UH, REGIONALLY WITH OTHER HEALTH PROVIDERS AND HEALTH ADVOCACY, A ADVOCATES SUPPORTING THE LOCAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. 
          AND THEN THERE'S A PIECE IN HERE ACKNOWLEDGING THE ROLE OF FIREARMS AND, UH, CANNABIS IN HEALTH. 
          AND, UM, IDENTIFYING SOME INITIAL POLICY DIRECTION FOR HOW TO HANDLE THOSE SOMEWHAT IN A SIMILAR WAY TO HOW THE CITY HAS HANDLED OTHER, UM, LAND USES THAT IT CONSIDERS EITHER, UM, UNHEALTHY OR INCONSISTENT WITH OTHER CITY GOALS. 
          GOAL TWO, UM, REALLY JUST REINFORCES AND BUILDS ON SOME OF THE WORK THE CITY HAS ALREADY DONE TO ADVANCE EQUITY, EXPANDING THAT INTO CITY ADMINISTRATION, CONTINUING TO BUILD ON LANGUAGE ACCESS AND REALLY TRYING TO BE AS THOUGHTFUL AS POSSIBLE ABOUT, ABOUT THE, UH, DISTRIBUTION OF CITY RESOURCES AND, AND, AND IT BEING DONE IN AN EQUITABLE MANNER. 
          THEN WE GET INTO THE FIVE POLICIES THAT ARE IN A SUBSTANTIVE WAY ARE VERY FOCUSED ON THE AREAS REQUIRED BY SV 1000, THE FIRST ONE BEING POLICY, OR EXCUSE ME, POLLUTION REDUCTION. 
          UM, BEING VERY EXPLICIT ABOUT WHERE WE KNOW THE, EXCUSE ME, THERE ARE AIR, EXCUSE ME, AIR QUALITY ISSUES, DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO, TO IDENTIFY, EXCUSE ME, NOT IDENTIFY, BUT ADDRESS AND MINIMIZE THOSE. 
          UH, POLICY 
          [01:45:01]
TWO THERE, ADDRESSING THAT SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO VEHICLES. 
          AND THEN, UM, WE, WE COME BACK TO OUR FAVORITE TOPIC, TREE CANOPY, KNOWING THAT IT DOES VERY MUCH PLAY A, UH, PUBLIC HEALTH, UM, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EQUITY ROLE, UM, MAKING SURE THAT THAT IS NOTED AS PART OF A, AS ITS ROLE IN POLLUTION REDUCTION. 
          UH, ANOTHER OF, OF THE FIVE, UH, SB 1000 TOPICS, ACCESS TO SERVICES AND FACILITIES IS ADDRESSED IN GOAL FOUR. 
          UM, AND THIS SPEAKS TO SOME OF THE EQUITY ASPECTS OF PUBLIC SERVICES SPECIFICALLY, UM, MAKING, ENSURING EVEN THE MOST VULNERABLE IN THE COMMUNITY ARE, UH, ARE KIND OF CLIMATE ADAPTED. 
          UM, EXPANDING IN THIS CASE ALSO TRANSIT SERVICES, ANOTHER CITY PROVIDED SERVICE ADDRESSING VARIOUS ASPECTS OF COMMUNITY SAFETY, BEING MINDFUL OF HOW SOMETIMES PUBLIC SAFETY IS NOT EXPERIENCED THE SAME WAY BY ALL DIFFERENT, UM, UH, UH, SUBPOPULATIONS WITHIN A COMMUNITY. 
          AND THEN, UM, UH, SUGGESTING THAT THE CITY PLAY A ROLE IN SUPPORTING THOSE RETURNING FROM INCARCERATION AND HELPING THEM REENTER, UH, CITY LIFE AS PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS. 
          GOAL FIVE, ANOTHER SB 1000 REQUIRED TOPIC. 
          UM, IN THIS CASE FOOD, WE REALLY APPRECIATE THIS REQUIREMENT BECAUSE IT PROVIDES AN EXPLICIT OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIES, UM, TO, UM, SAY A BIT ABOUT AGRICULTURE AND FOOD AND THE ROLE IN WHICH THEY PLAY, UM, IN EVERY, EVERYBODY'S OBVIOUSLY, UH, DAILY LIVES. 
          BUT WHAT ARE, WHAT ROLES THE CITY CAN PLAY TO SUPPORT AND ADVANCE THAT. 
          SO THERE'S SOME CONNECTION HERE WITH A FOCUS ON LOCAL FOOD ECONOMY WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK, UM, BUT OTHERWISE FOCUSING VERY MUCH ON ENSURING EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS TO THE FOOD THEY NEED. 
          UM, AND NOT JUST ANY FOOD, BUT, UM, NUTRITIOUS FOOD. 
          NEXT, SB 1000 TOPIC IN GOAL SIX IS SAFE AND SANITARY HOUSING. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, RECOGNIZING THAT HOUSING IS ADDRESSED, UM, ELSEWHERE. 
          AND THE PLAN, THIS FOCUSES MUCH MORE ON THE QUALITY OF HOUSING, THE RESILIENCE OF THAT, THAT HOUSING. 
          AND GIVEN THAT THIS IS AN EQUITY, EQUITY ORIENTED FRAMEWORK, UM, CALLING OUT HOMELESSNESS SPECIFICALLY AS AN ISSUE THAT, UM, THE CITY'S GONNA LEAD ON GOAL SEVEN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. 
          UM, AGAIN, UM, BUT THE A TP, YOU KNOW, IS REFERENCED PRIMARILY IN THE TRANSPORTATION FRAMEWORK. 
          IT HAS CONNECTIONS MANY OTHER PLACES, AS PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY NOTED, INCLUDING A NETWORK OF TRAILS, PUBLIC RIGHTS OF WAY, ET CETERA. 
          BUT IT ALSO IS REALLY CRITICAL FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE PERSPECTIVE TO ENSURE PEOPLE HAVE EASY ACCESS TO, UM, CONVENIENT WAYS TO BE ACTIVE, WHETHER THAT'S WALKING SOMEWHERE THEY NEED TO GO ON A REGULAR BASIS DIRECTLY FROM THEIR HOME, OR HAVING EASY ACCESS TO A TRAIL OR SAFE BIKEWAYS, WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. 
          THAT'S WHAT THIS, UM, UH, GOAL IS ALL ABOUT. 
          AND HERE'S WHERE WE ALSO, UM, AND I THINK THIS IS ALSO MENTIONED IN THE TRANSPORTATION FRAMEWORK, BUT, UH, PROVIDE, UH, LIFT UP THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL. 
          AND THEN F THE FINAL TWO GOALS. 
          UM, UH, THE LAST ONE REALLY FOCUSED ON THE, UM, ASPECT, THE, THE, THE WAY YOU NEED EACH CITY NEEDS TO REALLY CONTINUE IN AN ONGOING BASIS TO ENGAGE, UM, THE DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES, UM, IN THE CITY. 
          UM, AND SO IT, THIS JUST CALLS OUT WAYS IN WHICH THE CITY CAN CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND STRENGTHEN WHAT IS MUCH OF WHAT IT'S ALREADY DOING, A SPECIFIC CALL OUT TO YOUTH IN THAT REGARD. 
          UM, AND THEN JUST, UM, SOME IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO ENSURE THAT THE CCBS, THE COMMISSIONS, COMMITTEES AND BOARDS WHICH PLAY SUCH A CRITICAL ROLE IN CIVIC LIFE IN PETALUMA, THAT THEY'RE TRULY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DIVERSITY OF THE POPULATION OF PETALUMA. 
          AND THEN FINALLY, AND WE DID ALSO MEET WITH THE, UM, SENIOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND HAD AN EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS. 
          WE, WE ADDED A GOAL, UH, FOR PETALUMA, SPECIFICALLY ON AGE FRIENDLINESS. 
          UM, AND THEY HAVE LOTS OF SUGGESTIONS FOR HOW WE CAN FURTHER STRENGTHEN, UH, THIS GOAL AREA. 
          SO THAT'S IT FOR MY QUICK OVERVIEW. 
          I, I THINK WE'LL TURN, UH, MIKE BACK TO THE AD HOC COMMITTEE, UM, AND THEIR PRESENTATION. 
          AND THEN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND ANXIOUS TO HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS ON THE FRAMEWORK. 
          ALRIGHT, I'M JUST GOING TO ATTEMPT TO SHARE SCREEN. 
          HAVEN'T HAD TO DO THIS IN A LITTLE BIT OF TIME. 
          LET'S SEE. 
          [01:50:02]
YEP, THERE WE GO. 
          OKAY, LET'S SEE IF, EXCELLENT. 
          ALRIGHT, NOW IF I CAN JUST GET THIS IN PRESENTATION MODE, WE'LL BE READY TO GO. 
          YOU'LL HAVE TO FORGIVE ME. 
          I HAVEN'T USED POWERPOINT IN PROBABLY A VERY LONG TIME. 
          UM, OH, THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ALL THE PRESENTATIONS YOU GIVE ARE USUALLY ON THE BACK OF SOMEBODY ELSE'S BINDER AND YOU'RE IN A ROOM WITH SOMEBODY WHO JUST WANTS BULLET POINTS. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          UM, TO GET THINGS STARTED. 
          AS WAS NOTED IN THE INITIAL, IN THE OVER OVERVIEW PRESENTATION, THIS IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT TOPICS. 
          UH, THE STATE LAW AND WHY IT'S BEEN INCLUDED IS CLEAR. 
          WE FULLY UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PRETTY MUCH EVERY SINGLE ITEM WITHIN THIS COLUMN, BUT IT IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT TOPICS. 
          SO WE HAD TO KEEP A FEW THINGS IN MIND. 
          ONE OF WHICH WAS TO AVOID THE TEMPTATION OF GETTING OVERLY PRESCRIPTIVE. 
          WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THESE TOPICS ARE ACTUALLY COVERED IN OTHER FRAMEWORKS. 
          OTHER FRAMEWORKS HAVE CERTAINLY COVERED SOME OF THESE TOPICS BETTER THAN THEY ARE COVERED IN THIS. 
          UH, WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS STEP ONE OF SEVERAL WHERE IT WILL DRILL DOWN INTO THE ACTUAL SPECIFICS, ESPECIALLY WHERE THINGS LIKE THE IMPLEMENTING ZONING ORDINANCE ARE CONCERNED. 
          SO WHAT WE KEPT HAVING TO CHALLENGE OURSELVES NOT TO DO WAS START ADDING FOUR OR FIVE OR SIX BULLET POINTS DOWN INTO WHAT WE THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE WHEN, AS HEATHER POINTED OUT LAST MEETING, WE'RE TRYING TO DEMONSTRATE THE OUTCOMES WE, WE WANT TO GET TO AND LESS GO THROUGH THE MECHANISMS IN, WITHIN THIS PART OF THE DOCUMENT OR THIS PART OF THE PROCESS. 
          UH, TO THAT END, AND ALSO NOTING THAT OUR AD HOC KIND OF SHRUNK ON US A LITTLE BIT, UH, WE DID CHECK IN WITH SOME OUTSIDE EXPERTS. 
          WE DID TALK TO THE SENIOR ADVI MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO SEE WHAT FEEDBACK THEY HAD GIVEN. 
          UH, WE DID CHECK IN WITH SEVERAL MEMBERS OF A FEW OF THE COMMUNITY GROUPS THAT ARE MORE GENERALLY REFERENCED THROUGHOUT THIS DOCUMENT. 
          UH, THERE'S SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT I CHECKED IN WITH DIRECTLY ON GPAC WHO, WHERE THESE, THESE TOPICS WERE THEIR CHIEF PRIORITY, UH, AND OVERALL TRIED TO GET A SENSE OF HOW WE COULD DRILL DOWN WITH SPECIFICS. 
          SO TO THAT END, WE FRAME THE PRESENTATION ON ACTUAL SPECIFIC FEEDBACK. 
          THIS WILL NOT BE, HERE'S A SPEECH ON EACH ITEM. 
          THIS IS GOING TO GO STRAIGHT TO WHERE, ARE THERE PARTS OF THIS WHERE WE THOUGHT IT WASN'T ENOUGH OR WE WANTED TO ADD TO IT? AND WHAT'S THE SUGGESTED ADDITION? WE DID NOT HAVE CHANGES FOR EVERY SECTION BECAUSE AGAIN, WE UNDERSTOOD THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT BUCKETS, WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT POLICY SPECIFICS. 
          AND WITH THAT, WHICH IS WHY, BY THE WAY, THIS IS NOT A PRI PRETTY PRESENTATION. 
          THIS IS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND WHAT IS ON SCREEN, AND WE WILL MOVE TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          SO GETTING STRAIGHT INTO IT, WE'VE GOT POLICY, HEEJ DASH 1.2 TO PROMOTE HEALTH SERVICES AND PROGRAMS AND ACTION HEEJ 1.23. 
          SO THE ORIGINAL TEXT ON PAGE 10 OF THE PLAN CALLED FOR, UH, PARTNER WITH PRIVATE NONPROFIT STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP HEALTH, NUTRITION, RECREATION AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS FOR RESIDENTS THAT IMPROVE HEALTH AND WELLBEING AND HELP REDUCE STRESS AND MENTAL HEALTH SYMPTOMS. WHEN WE STARTED TALKING TO FOLKS ABOUT KIND OF WHAT THESE PROGRAMS MIGHT LOOK LIKE, THE THING THAT CAME UP OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS, ARE WE PARTNERING WITH OUR LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS TO CREATE SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS? UH, SEEING THAT THAT WASN'T REALLY INCLUDED IN THE OVERALL BUCKET TO THIS, WE ADDED, WE MADE THE SUGGESTED CHANGE OF, UH, EDITING THE FIRST SENTENCE TO SAY, PARTNER WITH LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS, PRIVATE AND NONPROFIT STAKEHOLDERS. 
          AND THEN THEY CONTINUE THE REST OF THE ITEM. 
          MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ONE. 
          SO FOR SLIDE THREE, UH, AGAIN, THIS HAD TO DO SPECIFICALLY WITH, UH, TALKING ABOUT THE ROLE OF SOCIAL DETERMINANTS IN HEALTH AND HEALTH INEQUITIES. 
          UH, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I HAD TO FIGHT THE URGE TO START DIGGING INTO HOW ZIP CODES CAN REALLY DETERMINE PEOPLE'S OUTCOMES AND START GETTING INTO ZONING POLICY, BUT 
          [01:55:01]
RECOGNIZING AGAIN, THAT THIS IS A BUCKET, WE FOCUS MORE ON WHO THOSE PARTNERS NEEDED TO BE. 
          AGAIN, WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT HOW SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS WORK, THEY DIDN'T ALL, THEY DON'T ALL ROUTE SPECIFICALLY THROUGH THE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SERVICES SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACTUALLY KEEP A LOT OF THIS DATA AND HAVE TO BECAUSE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT THEY'RE RUNNING. 
          SO WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS, WE WERE LOOKING AT WAYS WE CAN BE WORKING TOGETHER AND NOT AT CROSS PURPOSES OR NOT, UH, NOT, UH, KIND OF DOING THE SAME WORK TWICE. 
          SO WE MADE THAT RECOMMENDED CHANGE. 
          I KNOW THESE SLIDES ARE GORGEOUS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, NOW THIS IS THE, UM,  THE FUN TOPIC. 
          UH, JESSICA AND I WERE QUITE SURPRISED WHEN WE GOT HERE AND SAW, UH, LIMIT FIREARMS AND CANNABIS SALES, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE SEVERAL MEETINGS AGO WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW WE ACTUALLY START TO IMPLEMENT THAT. 
          WE LOOKED AT A FEW WAYS OF DOING THIS, INCLUDING ONE WHERE WE SPLIT UP THE OVERALL, UM, POLICY, AND THEN IT, IT, WE SIMPLIFIED IT TO JUST REMOVE ALL REFERENCE TO CANNABIS IN THIS SECTION, THE STATE, LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LAW ON THIS IS STILL CHANGING HOW THE CITY ADDRESSES, THIS IS STILL AN EMERGING TOPIC. 
          THERE IS NO REASON TO GROUP CANNABIS IN THIS SECTION. 
          AND IT, IT'S MAKING A COMMENT ON WHAT CANNABIS MEANS FOR HEALTH THAT I, I DON'T THINK ANY OF US INVOLVED HAVE A RIGHT TO MAKE OR HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO MAKE. 
          SO OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO ENTIRELY REMOVE IT. 
          AND WITH THAT, IT BECOMES ENTIRELY FOCUSED ON THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR, UH, FIREARM SALES. 
          AND NOW, SO LEADER IN EQUITY, THIS SECTION, LIKE WE WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE FACT THAT THERE WAS CLEARLY A GOOD AMOUNT OF THOUGHT PUT INTO HOW CITY STAFF DO THE WORK, HOW THEY'RE TRAINED, HOW, HOW THAT WORK HAS BROUGHT INTO EACH STEP OF THE PROCESS. 
          WE DIDN'T WANNA DIVE TOO FAR INTO THE SPECIFICS OF THAT POLICY, UH, IN PART BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THAT'S A MUCH LONGER CONVERSATION, BUT THAT'S WHY WE RECOMMENDED HAVING AN ADDED ACTION. 
          AND WITH THIS, WE WANTED TO FOCUS IN ON WORKING WITH TRUSTED COMMUNITY LEADERS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO EVALUATE WHAT THE CITY IS DOING. 
          PART OF WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO GET TO HERE WAS THAT IF WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT REALLY EXPANDING STAFF'S KNOWLEDGE, REALLY EXPANDING THE CAPABILITIES OF THE CITY TO WORK WITH DIS DISENFRANCHISED COMMUNITIES WITHIN THE CITY, THERE NEEDS TO BE CULTURAL CONTEXT. 
          THERE NEEDS TO BE HISTORIC CONTEXT. 
          THERE NEEDS TO BE NOT JUST THE KIND OF NATIONAL PROFILE OF WHAT RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE, BUT AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I MEAN TO BE A LITTLE BLUNT. 
          WHAT HORRIBLE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED IN PETALUMA'S PAST THAT WE MIGHT NOT BE AWARE OF FOR WHATEVER REASON THAT WE NEED TO KEEP IN MIND AS WE'RE MAKING CERTAIN DECISIONS, WHAT ARE CURRENT CONTEXTS THAT WE MIGHT NOT BE AWARE OF? 'CAUSE THAT'S NOT OUR EXPERIENCE. 
          SO THE IDEA WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A VETTING PROCESS OF SOME KIND WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS AND TRUSTED, TRUSTED LEADERS WHO WOULD HAVE OR TRUSTED COMMUNITY LEADERS WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP AND OBVIOUSLY WHO WOULD WANT TO HELP VOLUNTARILY ON THIS. 
          AND THEN MOVING TO THE NEXT SLIDE, I'LL PICK IT UP FROM HERE, UM, IN THE VERY MEATY J TWO, UH, HEEJ TWO, WHICH, UH, HAD A LOT OF GOOD STUFF IN IT. 
          AND HERE AT 2.2 0.2, A QUICK LITTLE ADDITION THERE, YOU SEE IN THE LOWER HALF OF THE SCREEN TO TRANSLATE ALL CITY NOTICES TO THE PUBLIC AND DOCUMENTS FOR APPLYING TO CITY PROGRAMS. THIS HAPPENS IN MOST CASES, BUT WE THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH IMMORTALIZING HERE, UM, IN THE GENERAL PLAN THAT WE WOULD SEEK TO TRANSLATE THE NOTICES TO, TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL ONTO 2.3 WHERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DISTRIBUTING RESOURCES EQUITABLY. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT ABOUT THE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES IN, IN A FEW DIFFERENT WAYS. 
          AND, AND ONE THAT WE THOUGHT COULD BE A VALUABLE ADDITION WOULD BE TO THINK ABOUT IT AS IT PERTAINS TO THE EAST AND WEST SIDE. 
          UM, I THINK THERE IS, AS YOU SEE HERE, UM, SOME OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP AND DES UH, DESIGN GUIDELINES THAT INVEST EQUAL CARE AND ATTENTION ON BOTH SIDES OF TOWN TO SPUR MORE EVEN INVESTMENT THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT THAT AT 2.3 0.4. 
          UH, A SUGGESTED ADDITION AT 2.3 0.5 ABOUT CENTRALIZING, UM, MAJOR EVENTS AND CITY SERVICES, AGAIN, TO SORT OF MAKE THOSE RESOURCES MORE ACCESSIBLE AND EQUITABLE GEOGRAPHICALLY. 
          UM, AND THEN FINALLY FOR THIS, UH, 2.3, ADDING A 0.6, UM, TO EVALUATE POTENTIAL FOOD DESERTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. 
          WE, WE DEBATED WHETHER THIS ACTION REGARDING FOOD DESERTS BELONGED IN, UH, HEEJ 
          [02:00:01]
5.2, WHICH IS REDUCED FOOD INSECURITY. 
          UM, BUT, BUT ENDED UP PUTTING IT HERE. 
          UH, COULD BE UP FOR DEBATE, BUT I THINK THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK TO SPECIFICALLY CALL OUT FOOD DESERTS. 
          UM, AND WHEN IT CAME TO DISTRIBUTE RESOURCES EQUITABLY, IT, IT FELT LIKE A GOOD FIT IN THIS SECTION OR AGAIN, ARGUABLY, UH, UH, COULD FIND ITS HOME IN 5.2. 
          AND THEN OUR LAST, UM, SECTION HERE OF NOTES IN THE LEADER IN EQUITY CATEGORY IS A PROPOSED ADDITION, UM, FOR PRIORITIZING QUICK BUILDS, UM, PARTICULARLY WITHIN EQUITY PRIORITY AREAS. 
          THE RATIONALE HERE BEING THAT, YOU KNOW, THOSE LOCATIONS POTENTIALLY HAVE, UH, LESS ADVOCACY OPPORTUNITIES AND, AND THAT THIS IS A GOOD SPOT TO FURTHER SORT OF ENUMERATE THE EQUITY PRIORITY AREAS, UM, FOR THOSE EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES, EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES, UM, AND THAT BACK TO BLAKE. 
          AND THEN, UH, FOR EXPANDED TRANSIT SERVICES, I HAVE TO SAY I EXPECTED TO REALLY TEAR THROUGH THIS ONE, AND I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH HOW MUCH WAS INCLUDED. 
          UH, I ALMOST PUT THIS IN A, I ALMOST PUT THIS IN THE REDUCING POLLUTION SECTION, BUT REALIZED IT ONLY MADE SENSE WITH EXPANDED TRANSIT SERVICES. 
          UH, REALLY FINALLY KIND OF BANKING ON THE PROMISE OF VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED AND HAVING A MITIGATION POLICY THAT CAN ACTUALLY HELP EXPAND OUR TRANSIT NETWORK. 
          I DIDN'T, AGAIN, RECOGNIZING THESE ARE BUCKETS, NOT POL NOT DEFINED POLICIES. 
          I TRIED TO KEEP THAT AS VAGUE AS EASILY POSSIBLE, BUT JUST THAT IDEA. 
          AND THEN, UH, IN TERMS OF, UH, IMPROVING COMMUNITY SAFETY QUITE A BIT WAS DONE IN THAT SECTION ALREADY. 
          WHEN IT CAME TO POLICE AND FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES, WE WANTED TO BRING BACK THE, UH, FOCUS ON VISION ZERO THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED IN PAC QUITE A WHILE AGO, REALLY FOCUSING A BIT MORE ON STREET SAFETY. 
          UH, WE ALSO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL ITEM WE'RE WE'RE BEING BOTH SERIOUS AND A LITTLE SARCASTIC, UH, ON THIS NOTE, WHICH IS, DEAR GOD, WE NEED LIGHTS IN THIS CITY. 
          AND WE WEREN'T SURE EXACTLY WHERE THAT POLICY WOULD FALL, BUT SAFETY SEEMED LIKE A GOOD ENOUGH PLACE, GOOD ENOUGH PLACE AS ANY, UH, WE WE, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THIS POLICY OR ANOTHER, WE, WE NEED TO FIND PLAN FOR HOW WE GET STREETLIGHTS IN A STABLE PLACE IN THE CITY BECAUSE YOU GO ONE BLOCK TO THE NEXT AND YOU'RE IN DARKNESS. 
          AND THEN SAFETY AND SANITARY HOUSING WAS A BIG ONE FOR US, REALLY GOING THROUGH IT. 
          UM, WE HAD, UH, SORRY, I MOVED MYSELF A LITTLE BIT. 
          ONE SECOND. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          WE HAD A SLIGHT CHANGE FOR 6.2 0.4, AND THAT WAS ONE REALLY CALLING OUT, UH, EVICTION PREVENTION SERVICES. 
          WE RECOGNIZED THAT THAT MIGHT BE PRIORITIZED LEGAL HELP, BUT WE DID WANT TO CLARIFY THAT AS JUST BASED ON PRIOR COUNCIL COUNCIL GOALS AND MEETINGS THAT THEY'VE HAD. 
          THAT SEEMS TO BE A, A GROWING SHIFT FOR OUR CITY TO REALLY LOOK INTO THAT. 
          AND THEN, UH, WE ALSO WANT TO CALL OUT SENIORS. 
          UH, LOOKING BACK AT THE, UH, HOMELESS MASTER PLAN THAT THIS SECTION REFERENCES ONE OF THE LARGEST POPULATIONS OF UNSHELTERED OR UNHOUSED IN THE COUNTIES THAT ARE SENIOR POPULATION OR SENIOR POPULATION. 
          THE CITY IS ONLY GROWING, SO IT ONLY MADE SENSE TO ADD THEM AS A PRIORITY FOR THIS POLICY. 
          AND THEN THIS ADDITION, UH, WE WANTED TO ADD TO SIX, WE WANTED TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL 6.2 0.6 AND REALLY BRING IN THE IDEA OF DIVERSIFYING HOUSING TYPES IN OUR ZONING CODE SO THAT WE'VE GOT MORE OPTIONS. 
          UH, WE KEPT THIS, AGAIN, WE KEPT THIS VAGUE. 
          WE WEREN'T EXACTLY SURE THIS WAS THE APPROPRIATE PLACE TO PUT IT COMPARED TO OTHER, UH, OTHER FRAMEWORKS, BUT IT FELT NECESSARY WHEN TALKING ABOUT A RESPONSE TO REDUCING HOMELESSNESS AND JUST THE LACK OF UNIT DIVERSITY WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN THE CITY, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS JESSICA. 
          YEP. 
          I'LL PICK IT UP WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, UM, WHICH WE JUST HAD A COUPLE OF ADDITIONS HERE THOUGH, I WILL NOTE FOR THE SORT OF NUMBERING HERE. 
          WE WERE HOPING THAT THESE COULD FLOAT TO THE TOP OF THE 7.1, PROMOTE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION, UM, BECAUSE WE THINK THEY'RE SUPER IMPORTANT AND AS WE'VE ALREADY HEARD TONIGHT, WANTING TO POTENTIALLY CALL OUT THE A TP, UM, AS A POTENTIAL, UM, YOU KNOW, SORT OF RECOMMITMENT IN THIS SECTION OF THE GENERAL PLAN AND TO SORT OF FORCEFULLY BE  COMMITTING TO THOSE PRINCIPLES. 
          [02:05:01]
UM, MAYBE THERE'S SOME REPETITION BIAS HERE THAT WE'VE ALL JUST SEEN THE ACT OF TRANSIT PLAN SO MUCH AND WE REALLY LIKE IT  THAT, UH, WE WANNA, WE WANNA KEEP SEEING IT AND KEEP RECOMMITTING TO IT. 
          UM, AND SIMILARLY SORT OF ECHOING WHAT IS ENCOMPASSED IN THE A TP, UM, PRIORITIZING, CONNECTING BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SAFETY, CONVENIENCE AND ENJOYMENT, UM, FOR NON AUTOMOBILE TRAVELERS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES. 
          WE HEAR ABOUT THOSE ALL AGES AND ABILITIES, UM, A LOT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE A TP AND I THINK IT COULD ALSO BELONG HERE IN OUR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SECTION NEXT ONTO ENGAGED COMMUNITY SECTION EIGHT. 
          UM, THIS WAS, YOU KNOW, AN INTERESTING ONE TO CONSIDER. 
          I THINK ACROSS OUR EVALUATION OF THE FRAMEWORK, BLAKE AND I THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT LIKE, WELL, HOW DO YOU SPRINKLE IN LAND USE IN THIS SECTION? WHAT, WHAT COULD WE SPRINKLE IN LAND USE WISE? AND WHEN IT CAME TO ENGAGE COMMUNITY, UM, THE DBA PRINCIPLES OF HOUSING FOR PEOPLE IMMEDIATELY CAME TO MIND. 
          MM-HMM, , UH, SHOUT OUT TO DAVE, WHO WAS HERE EARLIER WHO HAS HELPED US SOCIALIZE THOSE CONCEPTS ACROSS OUR COMMUNITY. 
          UM, BUT WANTED TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY POTENTIALLY HERE, MAYBE IT BELONGS MORE IN LAND USE, BUT, UM, TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THOSE PILLARS INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, CULTIVATING CONNECTION WITH COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACES, UH, THE REWEAVING OF THE URBAN FABRIC, WHICH IS THAT CREATE, REPAIR AND ENHANCE CONNECTIONS WITH EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          AND ALSO ENCOURAGING, UH, DEVELOPMENT PLANS TO HAVE THE SORT OF LIVELY DYNAMIC STREETS TO ACTIVATE AT THE EDGES. 
          AGAIN, THESE ARE SORT OF PULLED DIRECTLY FROM THEIR BOOK. 
          UM, AND I KNOW I'VE GOT SOME RUN-ON SENTENCES HERE, BUT FELT LIKE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY, UM, TO AGAIN, REFERENCE LAND USE AND HOUSING AS IT PERTAINED TO THIS HEEJ EIGHT AND FINALLY INTO SECTION NINE, AGE FRIENDLY. 
          AGAIN, TRYING TO CONSIDER THE, UM, SORT OF LAND USE AND HOUSING CONSIDERATIONS AS IT PERTAINS TO THIS FRAMEWORK. 
          MY REAL INTENTION HERE WAS TO HELP ADDRESS HOUSING FLUIDITY FOR SENIORS. 
          UM, I HAVE A VERY RECENT EXAMPLE IN THAT MY COLLEAGUE IS IN THE THROES OF MOVING HIS MOTHER INTO AN A DU AND IT'S BEEN AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE. 
          , HE, YOU KNOW, JUST RIFE WITH HEADACHES. 
          SO, UH, THOUGHT IT COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CALL OUT SPECIFICALLY THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, DIVER DIVERSIFYING HOUSING UNITS AGAIN, UM, WITH VARYING LEVELS OF SERVICES FOR SENIORS, AS WELL AS EXPLORING STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT SENIORS WHO DO WISH TO DOWNSIZE OUT OF THEIR, YOU KNOW, LARGE SINGLE FAMILY HOME THAT SORT OF NO LONGER SUITS THEM. 
          BUT MAKING THAT A LITTLE BIT EASIER BY HAVING SUPPORTIVE PROGRAMS, UM, TO HELP SENIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHEN IT COMES TO SORT OF RESEARCHING THOSE OPTIONS, NAVIGATING THE MODERN REAL ESTATE MARKET, WHICH IS, IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING. 
          AND ALSO THE ACTUAL PHYSICAL FEET OF MOVING , UM, WHICH CAN BE BURDENSOME AT ANY AGE, LET ALONE AS A SENIOR. 
          SO AGAIN, LOOKING TO ADDRESS THE SORT OF HOUSING FLUIDITY FOR SENIORS IN THIS SECTION. 
          UM, AND, AND HAPPY TO MASSAGE THE LANGUAGE. 
          AND WITH THAT, JUST CHECKING TO MAKE SURE WITH THAT WE'RE AT THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION. 
          I HAVE TO TELL YOU, THAT FELT LIKE A LOT MORE TIME THAN THE SLIDES ENDED UP BEING, UH, IN TERMS OF THE PREPARATION. 
          BUT IT FROM, FROM WHAT YOU SAW IN THE PRESENTATION AND THE READING THAT YOU DID ON YOUR OWN ALREADY, THIS IS A LOT OF DIFFERENT TOPICS ROLLED UP INTO ONE FRAMEWORK. 
          SO WE REALLY TRIED TO DRILL IN ON WHAT WERE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES THAT WE THOUGHT NEEDED TO BE MADE TO THE STRUCTURE AS IT WAS LISTED. 
          AND WE ALSO DID A LOT OF EVALUATION OF, OKAY, IF WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS CHANGE HERE, HOW'S IT ADDRESSED IN ANOTHER FRAMEWORK? IF IT'S ALREADY ADDRESSED BETTER IN ANOTHER FRAMEWORK, DO WE NEED TO MAKE THAT CHANGE HERE? ESPECIALLY CAME UP WITH THINGS LIKE TRANSIT. 
          SO, UH, WITH THAT IN MIND, DO FOLKS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? GO AHEAD. 
          UH, YEAH, YEAH, THERE WAS A LOT IN HERE. 
          UM, SO I JUST HAVE A COUPLE COMMENTS 'CAUSE I THINK YOU GUYS COVERED A LOT OF IT. 
          UH, THE ONE WAS KIND OF SOMETHING ECHOING IN MY HEAD FROM ELISE ABOUT EMERGENCY ROOM COVERAGE. 
          UH, AND I DIDN'T SEE THAT SPECIFICALLY CALLED OUT HERE. 
          MAYBE IT'S A LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY WE DON'T NEED. 
          UH, BUT RECENTLY I WAS KIND OF HIP TO NEEDING EMERGENCY ROOMS WITHIN A CERTAIN DISTANCE FROM BUSINESSES, ESPECIALLY INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING. 
          UH, FIRST FOR THE HEALTH OF THE EMPLOYEES TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO ERS OR THE APPROPRIATE. 
          UH, AND THIS IS WHERE I QUICKLY GET OUTTA MY DEPTH, THE CERTAIN TYPES OF HOSPITALS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE ERS. 
          UM, AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR WORKERS' COMP FOR THESE BUSINESSES TO GET COVERAGE FROM WORKERS' COMP. 
          SO MAKING SURE WE HAVE GOOD ER COVERAGE. 
          UH, AND THEN SOMETHING IN A SIMILAR VEIN, MAKING SURE WE HAVE, AND I THINK THIS IS IN THERE ABOUT EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES, BUT JUST THINKING ABOUT HEALTHCARE ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN, UM, WHERE WE HAVE A PRETTY HIGH SENIOR POPULATION AS WELL. 
          UM, SO 
          [02:10:01]
THAT WAS WHAT I HAD FOR HEALTHCARE. 
          AND THEN I CALLED OUT THE SAME THING WITH FIREARMS AND CANNABIS. 
          YOU GUYS COVERED THAT. 
          THOSE, I DIDN'T LIKE THOSE COMING TOGETHER. 
          UM, FOR EQUITABLE ACCESS TO, OH, EXCUSE ME. 
          NO, THIS IS GOAL THREE, THE VERY END OF GOAL THREE. 
          3.3. 
          IT HAS SOME STUFF ABOUT TREES IN THERE. 
          LOW COST OPTIONS TO PLANT TREES. 
          I JUST THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, THIS BLENDS REALLY WELL WITH OUR URBAN FORESTRY MASTER PLAN. 
          WE'RE GONNA HAVE THIS CANOPY COVERAGE MAP. 
          JUST A SIMPLE LIKE COMPARING THAT WITH EQUITY PRIORITY AREAS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE COVERAGE. 
          JUST SPELLING THAT OUT, THAT WE'LL KIND OF OVERLAY CANOPY COVERAGE TO MAKE SURE EQUITY PRIORITY AREAS ARE THE FIRST PLACE TO PRIORITIZE PLANTING A TREES. 
          I THINK BLAKE KIND OF LAID THAT OUT EARLIER. 
          UH, AND THEN, YEAH, OVERALL I THINK MENTIONING THE A TP WOULD BE GREAT. 
          I THINK THE A TP HAS A LOT IN THERE ABOUT ACCESS AND CONNECTIVITY AND, YOU KNOW, WHERE APPROPRIATE, IF WE CAN PAWN OFF REALLY SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO LIKE, HEY, AS PER THE A TP, WE WILL FOLLOW X, Y, Z TO REACH THESE GOALS. 
          I, I LOVE TO SEE THAT KINDA LANGUAGE AND THAT A TP INTEGRATED. 
          BUT OTHER THAN THAT, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S ALL I GOT. 
          THANK YOU ROGER. 
          UH, NO COMMENTS. 
          I THINK IT WAS A VERY THOROUGH JOB AND, AND, UH, I HAVE NOTHING TO ADD AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD. 
          SO I THINK WE'RE, WE ARE DONE ON THIS ITEM. 
          UM, PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          THAT'S WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO GET TO. 
          UM, AND WE HAVE AT LEAST ONE PERSON HERE WHO I HAVE TO IMAGINE IS HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          SO WITH THAT, I AM GOING TO OPEN GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT AND I'M NOT GONNA GO THROUGH THE WHOLE THING BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE PERSON HERE AND I APPRECIATE THAT PERSON STAYING THROUGH THIS . 
          YEAH. 
          EXTRA. 
          I NEED MY FORM. 
          UM, I ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF THINGS TO, TO ADD. 
          YOU'RE GONNA WANNA SPEAK INTO THE MICROPHONE. 
          SORRY, I ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF THINGS TO ADD. 
          UM, BECAUSE THIS, YEAH KNOW. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          IS THAT BETTER? THERE YOU GO. 
          THERE. 
          THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS ON MY LIST, UM, IS THAT I, WE PUT ALL OUR COMMENTS AND THIS WAS THE FRAMEWORK THAT THE SENIOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE WAS ASSIGNED. 
          SO I'VE DONE A LOT ON THIS FRAMEWORK ALREADY, BUT SINCE THEN I'VE COME ACROSS SEVERAL THINGS THAT I THINK THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS. 
          UM, ONE IS THAT IN THIS FRAMEWORK AND IN OTHER FRAMEWORKS, IT SAYS INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. 
          THERE ARE ACTUALLY SIX DESIGNATED DISABILITIES. 
          AND IF WE'RE GONNA SAY THAT KIND OF NEBULOUS, INTELLECTUAL, AND DEVELOPMENTAL, WE NEED TO ADDRESS THEM EVERY SINGLE TIME WE NEED TO SAY WHAT THEY ARE. 
          UM, AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT I THREW IN ALREADY. 
          UM, SO I'VE ALREADY SENT IT TO JOHN AND, AND TO THE CHRISTINE. 
          UM, AND COUPLE OF THINGS THAT HAPPENED DURING THIS SECTION IS PPSD, UM, WHICH IS A GREAT ORGANIZATION AND I WORK WITH THEM ALL THE TIME, IS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION MENTIONED IN THIS ENTIRE FRAMEWORK WHEN THERE ARE MANY, MANY ORGANIZATIONS IN THE CITY OF PETALUMA. 
          SO WE NEED TO ADDRESS IT EITHER AS ORGANIZATIONS WHO WORK WITH THIS OR ADDRESS OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AS PART OF THIS THING. 
          UM, AND I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL, UM, TO KNOW THAT. 
          UM, OTHER THAN THAT, UM, I, I DO WANT TO MENTION SOMETHING THAT HAS, HAS RECENTLY COME UP. 
          I DID AN ACCESSIBILITY, UM, EQUITY REVIEW OF THE CITY OF PETALUMA WEBSITE. 
          AND THIS IS JUST A STRAIGHTFORWARD, NOT THE, ALL THE LINKS IN IT, BUT IT'S JUST A STRAIGHTFORWARD ART. 
          IT'S SCORE IS 43 OUT OF A HUNDRED. 
          THERE ARE 87 VIOLATIONS IN JUST THE IMMEDIATE FIRST SECTION. 
          UH, I WAS INTERESTED IN THE, IN THE VIOLATIONS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH MOBILITY BECAUSE I DO HAVE DIFFICULTIES WITH MY LEFT HAND. 
          I'M A ONE-HANDED TYPER. 
          THERE ARE 53 FAILURES IN MOBILITY IN THE FIRST SECTION. 
          THAT'S A LOT ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITES THAT I USE TO REVIEW, UM, THESE KINDS OF WEBSITES. 
          UM, IT'S AT HIGH RISK FOR VIOLATION TO BE TAKEN TO A LEGAL, UM, THING. 
          UM, IT'S NOT ONLY IMPORTANT TO TRANSLATE INTO SPANISH, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO TRANSLATE FOR US WHO HAVE A MOBILITY, WHO HAVE A HEARING LOSS. 
          UH, BLIND, DEAF, LOW VISION, COGNITIVE NEEDS, ATTENTION DEFICIT, UM, COLORBLINDNESS IN THE FIRST SECTION, THERE ARE EIGHT FAILURES IN COLORBLINDNESS. 
          SO YOU 
          [02:15:01]
HAVE EIGHT PAGES, SOMEBODY CAN'T SEE. 
          THOSE ARE ALL CRITICAL ISSUES AND THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED IN ANY FRAMEWORK THAT I CAN FIND IN WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW, LOOKING AT THE FRAMEWORKS. 
          AND SO WE NEED TO START PAYING ATTENTION TO THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. 
          UM, I KNOW THAT WHEN THE SENIOR ADVISORY COMMITTEE REVIEWED, UM, THIS FRAMEWORK, ONE OF THE THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT WAS THE SOUND SYSTEM IN THIS BUILDING. 
          WE CAN'T HEAR YOU MOST OF THE TIME WHEN WE'RE SITTING, I'M SITTING RIGHT THERE. 
          AND TONIGHT I COULD NOT HEAR, I'M SORRY, I DON'T REMEMBER THE GENTLEMAN'S NAME WHO WAS DOING THE EARLY REPORT. 
          I COULD NOT HEAR MOST OF THE THING 'CAUSE HE PUT HIS HAND FLASHING IN FRONT OF THE MICROPHONE CONSTANTLY. 
          SO THE SOUND WENT IN AND OUT, IN AND OUT, IN AND OUT. 
          AND I KNOW THAT UP THERE, YOU ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM HEARING. 
          UM, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THE BEST PLACE TO GO TO THESE MEETINGS IS TO SIT OUT IN THE HALLWAY BECAUSE THE SOUND IS MUCH BETTER OUT THERE THAN IT IS INSIDE HERE. 
          UM, SO THE MICROPHONE'S, THE SPEAKERS, THEY'RE OUT OF DATE. 
          THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS RIDDLED WITH PROBLEMS AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE ELIMINATING PEOPLE FROM OUR GOVERNMENT OVERVIEW ARE LOOKING AT WHAT HAPPENS WITH OUR GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THE SOUND SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK OR THE CHANNEL, WHATEVER CHANNEL IS ON ON TV GOES OUT, IT GOES OUT FREQUENTLY, UM, AND HALFWAY THROUGH A MEETING, IT'S NOT AVAILABLE. 
          UM, SO THAT'S A PROBLEM. 
          UM, ANOTHER PROBLEM IS, IS THAT, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU, AM I PAST MY THREE MINUTES? DO I NEED TO STOP OR DO I, SHOULD I KEEP GOING? OKAY, I'LL WRAP IT UP. 
          I'M JUST CHOOSING TO PRETEND THAT TIME HAS STOPPED FOR A LITTLE WHILE, SO GO AHEAD. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU. 
          UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, HAVING BEEN IN A POSITION WHERE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN TRAINING PEOPLE IS SOMETIMES THE CITY STAFF NEEDS TO KNOW HOW TO GIVE A TALK. 
          IT'S, IT'S A CRITICAL SKILL. 
          SO ANYWAY, I WILL GO BACK FROM THAT, BUT, UM, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A MEETING WITH SOMEONE AT ANY TIME TALKING ABOUT THE ACCESSIBILITY OF ACTUALLY THE WEBSITE. 
          IT'S, IT'S A BIG CRITICAL RIGHT NOW. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND ABSOLUTELY. 
          DO WE HAVE ANY, UH, PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT WERE GIVEN TO US PRIOR TO THE MEETING? UH, WE JUST HAD THE ONE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WAS GIVEN PRIOR TO THE MEETING AND POSTED ONLINE AND AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING THE FRONT. 
          PERFECT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          AND WITH THAT, WE WILL CLOSE OUT THIS ITEM MUCH SOONER THAN I EXPECTED AND WE'LL MOVE STRAIGHT INTO COMMISSION COMMENT. 
          AND I WILL START WITH JESSICA. 
          UM, I WENT TO A COMMUNITY MEETING IN THE RIVERFRONT NEIGHBORHOOD REGARDING THE CAULFIELD CONNECTOR PROJECT. 
          UM, IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING AND ENGAGING AND I TRIED TO RECRUIT SOME OF THE FOLKS THERE TO APPLY FOR THE COMMISSION , BUT THEY THWARTED MY ADVANCES. 
          UM, I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S IMPORTANT CONVERSATION TO HAVE WITH THE COMMUNITY TO, TO HELP FOLKS UNDERSTAND. 
          UM, BUT I REMAIN REALLY, UM, EXCITED ABOUT THE PROJECT. 
          I THINK THAT'S IT. 
          GREAT. 
          ROGER, NO COMMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          I ALSO HAVE NO COMMENTS, DARREN. 
          UH, YEAH, PBAC DIDN'T, OUR MEETING WAS CANCELED ON THE FIFTH AND TREE COMMITTEE HAS NOT MET. 
          UM, AND I'LL CALL OUT NO, BEFORE YOU GROW, DOING A PRESENTATION ON POCKET NEIGHBORHOODS TOMORROW, WHICH I THINK IS VERY RELEVANT GIVEN ALL THE TALK OF 15 MINUTE NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMPLETE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. 
          GREAT. 
          AND WITH THAT, WE'LL MOVE STRAIGHT 
          [STAFF COMMENT]
INTO STAFF COMMENT, UH, ANDREW. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU CHAIR.

          THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          WE DO HAVE A STUDY SESSION ON THE 18TH. 
          THIS WILL BE, UH, REVIEWING HISTORIC RESOURCES, ARTS, CREATIVITY AND CULTURE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES FRAMEWORKS. 
          UM, SO, UH, LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. 
          THEN ON THE, ON JUNE 25TH, UH, WE'RE ANTICIPATING A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SCOTT RANCH RESIDENTIAL SPAR PROJECT. 
          THAT WOULD BE THE PHASE TWO, UM, RESIDENTIAL DESIGN, UH, FOR SCOTT RANCH, AS WELL AS, UM, REVISITING THE STUDY SESSION TO ON FLOOD RESILIENCE TO RECEIVE THE COMMISSION'S, FINAL COMMENTS, UH, FROM THE AD HOC COMMITTEE AND REVIEWING, UH, PARKS AND RECREATION AND MOBILITY, UM, UH, FRAMEWORKS, WHICH WILL BE COMPLETED BY AD HOC ONE. 
          [02:20:01]
SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT, THEN THAT, THAT REALLY WILL WRAP UP OUR, UH, GENERAL PLAN UPDATE EXCEPT FOR THE LAND USE ALTERNATIVES FRAMEWORK, WHICH WILL BE COMING THEN LATER, UM, IN THE, UH, EITHER IN LATE JULY OR, OR PERHAPS EARLY AUGUST. 
          HAVING SAID THAT, THEN IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE ARE DUE FOR A BREAK, RIGHT? AND SO AT PRESENT, WE HAVE NOTHING SCHEDULED FOR, UM, THE JULY 9TH MEETING. 
          SO WE WOULD HAVE THAT BREAK FROM, FROM THE END OF AUGUST, UM, UNTIL THE END OF JULY AT THIS POINT IN TIME. 
          SO, UH, WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT. 
          WE DO, OF COURSE, HAVE A REDUCED, UM, REDUCED, UH, COMMISSION. 
          SO, SO PLEASE LET US KNOW IF, IF ANYTHING COMES UP WHERE YOU MIGHT BE ABSENT SO WE CAN MONITOR QUORUMS, UM, AT THESE UPCOMING MEETINGS. 
          UM, THE, ALSO, ALSO PLEASE KNOW THAT THE, UH, CITY CLERK IS FINALIZING THE, UM, MEETING ITEM FOR APPOINTMENTS AND REAPPOINTMENTS THAT WILL COME BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL.

          WE DO HAVE A VARIETY OF, UM, APPOINTMENTS AND REAPPOINTMENTS THAT WILL BE HAPPENING. 
          SO WE'LL BE SEEING SOME NEW FACES. 
          ONE THING I WOULD ASK OF YOU, OF COURSE, YOU'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH THE ORIENTATION THAT THE PLANNING STAFF DO FOR US COMMISSIONERS. 
          IF THERE'S ANY RECOMMENDATIONS YOU HAVE TO, UM, IMPROVE THAT ORIENTATION NOW THAT YOU'RE ON THE OTHER SIDE AND SORT OF CAN LOOK AT THAT, THAT INFORMATION THAT WE FIRST PROVIDE, PERHAPS, UH, WITH A MORE SEASONED EYE, PLEASE EMAIL THAT TO US SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GIVING A ROBUST PRESENTATION. 
          UM, THE NEW, THE NEW, UH, COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE QUICKLY INTO THEIR POSITIONS AND SO WE WANNA BE SURE THAT THEY'RE READY FOR THAT. 
          AND, UM, OTHERWISE, UH, HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS TO SHARE WITH THE COMMISSION.
