AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ITEM FOUR, WHICH IS THE USE PERMIT APPLICATIONS UP 2026 00181 BY JIM HUBER TO ALLOW OUTSIDE STORAGE OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, TOOLS, VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT IN A FLOODPLAIN ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5115 EAST SIDE ROAD IN AN H. C COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. I AT THIS POINT AM GOING TO TURN THE MEETING. BEFORE WE GET STARTED, SHOULD WE ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE AN ATTORNEY ON THE LINE? OH DO WE? YEAH, I WAS JUST GOING TO BEAT ME TO IT. I WAS JUST GOING TO.SHE'S NOT HERE WITH US. SHE'S HERE VIRTUALLY. OKAY. BUT MARY WAGNER WITH OUR OUTSIDE COUNSEL CONTRACT ATTORNEY, IS ON THE CALL. AND I THINK WE'VE SORTED OUT OUR TECHNOLOGY. SO JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO SPEAK INTO YOUR MICROPHONE AND SPEAK CLEARLY SO THAT OUR OUTSIDE COUNSEL CAN HEAR US. THANK YOU JENNIFER. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO TURN THE MEETING OVER TO COMMISSIONER NGUYEN. I'M GOING TO RECUSE MYSELF FROM THIS ITEM DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF A BUSINESS THAT I OWN NEXT TO IT. SO I WILL HEAD OUT, BUT BE BACK FOR THE NEXT ITEM. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. WE WILL SIT HERE AWKWARDLY. YES, UNTIL I RUN WHILE YOU EXIT.
JEOPARDY MUSIC. I KNOW THAT'S THE AWKWARD THING. I'VE HAD TO DO THAT A FEW TIMES. IT JUST FEELS LIKE A LONG WALK. OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR. PUBLIC HEARINGS, ITEM FOUR A ONE USE PERMIT 2026 00181 BY JIM HUBER, AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO STAFF FOR A PRESENTATION. THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. SO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 5115 EAST SIDE ROAD, ON APPROXIMATELY HALF AN ACRE OF LAND ABOUT 100FT FROM NORTH BONNYVIEW ROAD, AND IT'S LOCATED ALSO WITHIN THE H. C HEAVY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.
SURROUNDING USES INCLUDE UNDEVELOPED COMMERCIAL PROPERTY, NORTH SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS WITHIN AN EXISTING STORAGE YARD TO THE SOUTH. SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING WITHIN A H. C DISTRICT TO THE WEST AND SINGLE FAMILY DWELLINGS WITHIN AN RS TWO RESIDENTIAL SINGLE FAMILY DISTRICT TO THE EAST. ISSUES AT THIS LOCATION INCLUDE THE MONTGOMERY WATSON 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN AND THE NEED FOR BUFFER YARD SCREENING BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND THE HEAVY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. THE SITE PLAN PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT SHOWS THE PROJECT SITE WHERE OUTDOOR STORAGE IS PROPOSED, CONSISTING OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS, TOOLS, VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT. THE SITE PLAN ALSO SHOWS WHERE ACCESS IS PROVIDED THROUGH AN EXISTING AND APPROVED OUTDOOR STORAGE LOT TO THE SOUTH RIGHT HERE, AND THEN ALSO PREVIOUSLY UNUSED ACCESS EASEMENT TO THE EAST WOULD BE ABANDONED RIGHT HERE, AND SITE PLAN ALSO SHOWS THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED BUFFER YARD TO THE EAST, WHICH YOU'LL SEE AT THE NORTH EAST
[00:05:04]
CORNER OF THE SITE PLAN WITHIN THE HC DISTRICT, OUTDOOR STORAGE IS PERMITTED, SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF A SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT BY THE BOARD OF ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW.HOWEVER, DUE TO THE PROPERTY'S LOCATION WITHIN THE FLOOD FRINGE USE PERMIT IS NECESSARY.
THE FLOOD STUDY FOR THE PROJECT, PREPARED BY PACIFIC HYDROLOGIC INCORPORATED, SHOWS THE PROPERTY AT AN ELEVATION OF 482FT. FLOOD STUDY ALSO SHOWS THE MONTGOMERY WATSON 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN AT AN ELEVATION OF 483.7FT. AND IN ORANGE, YOU'LL SEE THE EXTENT OF THE FLOODPLAIN INUNDATION AREA. THE STUDY ULTIMATELY FINDS THAT THE ENTIRE PARCEL WHERE. IF THE ENTIRE PARCEL WERE ELEVATED ABOVE THE FLOODPLAIN, THERE WOULD BE NO INCREASE IN PEAK WATER SURFACE ELEVATION. THIS FLOOD STUDY WAS ALSO REVIEWED BY THE CITY'S HYDROLOGISTS, AND STAFF CONCURS THAT THE USE WILL HAVE NO MEASURABLE IMPACT AND WILL NOT INCREASE FLOOD LEVELS.
WITH RESPECT TO BUFFER YARD STANDARDS BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS. A MINIMUM BUFFER YARD WIDTH OF 20FT IS REQUIRED. ALSO, MINIMUM WALL HEIGHT OF SIX FEET.
HOWEVER, CURRENT FLOODPLAIN ORDINANCE PROHIBITS WALLS OR FENCES WITHIN A FLOODPLAIN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ALONG STREET ARTERIALS. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, A SOLID SCREEN WALL WAS CONSTRUCTED IN THE 90S ALONG THE NORTH AND EAST PROPERTY LINES PRIOR TO THE CITY'S ADOPTION OF CURRENT FLOODPLAIN STANDARDS IN 2002 THAT PROHIBIT SUCH WALLS. THE CURRENT WALL PROVIDES SOLID SCREENING BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, MEETS THE SIX FOOT HEIGHT REQUIREMENT, AND MAINTAINING AN EXISTING WALL VERSUS NEW CONSTRUCTION WOULD NOT CONFLICT WITH THE CURRENT FLOODPLAIN REQUIREMENTS. ALSO, THE PROPERTY IS BORDERED TO THE SOUTH BY AN EXISTING PREVIOUSLY APPROVED STORAGE YARD THAT HAS BEEN CONDITIONED TO MAINTAIN A MINIMUM. A COMBINATION OF SOLID BLOCK WALLS, LANDSCAPE AND CHAIN LINK WITH SLAT GATED ACCESS. ADDITIONALLY, NO CHANGES WOULD BE NEEDED WITH RESPECT TO THE FLOODPLAIN REQUIREMENTS, AS THE FLOOD STUDY FINDS THAT RAISING THE ENTIRE PARCEL ABOVE THE FLOODPLAIN WOULD HAVE NO IMPACT. FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION, STAFF FINDS THE PROJECT IS CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT UNDER SECTION 15332 INFILL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS OF THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT. THIS TYPE OF EXEMPTION GENERALLY APPLIES TO PROJECTS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING. LESS THAN FIVE ACRES AND SURROUNDED BY URBAN USES NOT AFFECTED BY SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES, AND CAN BE SERVED BY ALL NECESSARY UTILITIES. AND TO DATE, STAFF HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. NECESSARY. FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF THE PROJECT ARE ATTACHED WITH THE STAFF REPORT, AS ARE THE DRAFT CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL RECOMMENDED BY STAFF. AND IN CONCLUSION, STAFF FINDS THE PROJECT IS APPROPRIATELY LOCATED. GIVEN THE USES ALLOWED WITHIN THE HEAVY COMMERCIAL DISTRICT AND THE SURROUNDING OUTDOOR STORAGE YARD, THAT LIMITS ACCESS AND VISIBILITY FOR ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT.
ADDITIONALLY, THE PROVIDED FLOOD STUDY DEMONSTRATES NO INCREASE IN PEAK WATER SURFACE ELEVATION. THEREFORE, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF THE USE PERMIT TO ALLOW OUTDOOR STORAGE WITHIN A REGULATED 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN, SUBJECT TO THE DRAFT CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
THAT CONCLUDES THIS PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AT THIS TIME, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF STAFF OR CLARIFICATIONS THAT WE WANT TO ASK BEFORE WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING? I DO. PLEASE TAKE IT WITH YOUR MICROPHONE. THERE YOU GO, SIR. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT. JUST IN THE FLOODPLAIN AND WITHIN YOUR CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, IS THERE ANY EXCLUSIONS FOR WHAT CAN BE STORED THERE? HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, YOU KNOW, TOXIC CHEMICALS, THINGS LIKE THAT. I CAN IMAGINE THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE CONCERNS IN A FLOOD EVENT THAT COULD WASH DOWNSTREAM OR BE, YOU KNOW, PROBLEMATIC WHEN YOU'VE GOT A STORAGE YARD POTENTIALLY. RIGHT NOW. IT JUST KIND OF DESCRIBES CONSTRUCTION TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH DEEPER IT GETS INTO WHAT IT'S ACTUALLY STORING.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. CONDITION NUMBER THREE ADDRESSES THIS. IT'S MORE OF A PRESCRIPTIVE WAY OF ADDRESSING IT. WHAT IT STATES IN CONDITION THREE IS THAT STORAGE OF MATERIALS THAT IN TIME OF FLOODING ARE BUOYANT OR EXPLOSIVE OR INJURIOUS TO HUMAN, ANIMAL OR PLANT LIFE ARE PROHIBITED. SO HOPEFULLY THAT ADDRESSES THE QUESTION. THAT'S GREAT. YEAH. AND THEN AS FAR AS THE ANY OTHER REGULATORY BODIES, BECAUSE FOR US, A USE PERMIT, THE REGULATORY BODIES ESSENTIALLY FOR ENFORCEMENT IS JUST OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT
[00:10:05]
AGENCY. IS THAT RIGHT? ARE THERE ANY OTHERS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A USE PERMIT LIKE THIS? WHEN IT COMES TO MATERIALS LIKE IN A FLOODPLAIN, FOR INSTANCE, ANY STATE PERMITTING THAT THAT'S INVOLVED, IF THE PROJECT PROVIDED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF IMPERVIOUS SURFACING IN THIS CASE, IF IT WENT OVER 2500FT■!S OF IMPERVIOS SURFACE WITH THE PROJECT, THAT WOULD REQUIRE FURTHER OVERSIGHT BY STAFF AND REVIEWING THAT REQUEST. SO FAR, WHAT'S BEEN DEMONSTRATED BY THE APPLICANT AND IN MEETING THE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO THE APPLICANT WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP IT WITHIN THE 2500 SQUARE FOOT THRESHOLD. AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT IF THEY EXCEED THAT THRESHOLD, WOULD THAT TRIGGER IN POTENTIAL MUNICIPAL STORMWATER REQUIREMENTS, TREATMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR STORMWATER RUNOFF FROM THE SITE? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT? YES. THAT WOULD BE STATE WATER BOARD OR YES, THAT WOULD BE LIKELY THE TIME WHERE IMPROVEMENT PLANS WOULD BE REQUIRED AND PUBLIC WORKS STAFF WOULD BE REVIEWING IT TO ENSURE THAT IT'S COMPLIANT. IS THAT SUFFICIENT? ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER. THANK YOU. YEAH. I HAD ONE ONE QUESTION. AND MAYBE IT'S JUST CONFIRMING THAT IT APPEARS THAT THE WAY THE ENGINEER DID THE ANALYSIS WAS THEY JUST SAID, LET'S DO A ALMOST KIND OF A STRESS TEST. LET'S ASSUME WORST CASE, THIS SITE WAS FILLED AND DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE'S NO IMPACT ON THE ADJACENT FLOODPLAIN. AND THEREFORE THERE'S NO REASON TO DO ANY MORE DETAILED ACTUAL CONDITIONS ANALYSIS. IS THAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING ALSO BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING TO FILL IT YET, THEY ANALYZED IT AS IF THEY WERE. IT'S KIND OF LIKE A WORST CASE. MY STRUCTURAL FRIEND OVER HERE WOULD SAY, WELL, SOMETIMES YOU JUST DO IT THE EASY WAY, AND IF IT WORKS, THEN YOU DON'T. THEN YOU DON'T FINE TUNE IT ANY FURTHER. IS THAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING ALSO? YES, THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING. OKAY. VERY GOOD. THAT WAS MY ONLY QUESTION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF STAFF? OKAY. VERY GOOD. THEN WHAT WE WILL DO AT THIS TIME IS WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING, SEEING THAT WE HAVE NO COMMENT CARDS. AND I, I WAS JUST, I WAS JUST I SAW THAT LOOK IN YOUR EYES IN THE EVENING WHEN CHOOSES TO SPEAK. SINCE WE DIDN'T ANNOUNCE THAT TO BEGIN WITH, THERE ARE LITTLE PURPLE CARDS. IT'S A SMALL CROWD. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SPEAK, JUST COME RIGHT UP TO ONE OF THE CLERKS WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. SEEING NOBODY MOVING, I'M CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND NOW I'LL BRING IT BACK TO COMMISSIONERS FOR ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR MOTION. YOU'RE STILL ON MUTE, SIR. MR. CHAIRMAN, I MOVE. I'D MOVE.APPROVAL OF U. P 202600181 BASED UPON THE PROPOSAL AS SUBMITTED BY THE CITY. I'D SECOND THAT MOTION. VERY GOOD. WE HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? JUST THE COMMENT TO SAY THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A GOOD USE. AND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE OBVIOUSLY THE INFILL IS GOOD. I'M GLAD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO THE ANALYSIS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT COMPLIES WITH THE FLOODPLAIN. SO IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD PROJECT. VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS BEFORE I CALL FOR A VOTE? SEEING NONE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? NO.
THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. WITH THAT, I THINK OUR NEXT ITEM WE GET TO BRING LESLIE BACK. ANYBODY KEEP TRACK OF WHERE SHE WENT? THAT'S RIGHT. THERE YOU GO. THAT'S YOUR JOB IS TO FIND HER. THANK YOU. THERE SHE IS. OKAY. YEAH. YEAH, YEAH. AND I WILL TURN THE MEETING BACK OVER TO LESLIE. IN 10S. DID I STEAL YOUR PEN? I'VE GOT TWO PENS. THANK YOU,
[5. COMMISSION CONSIDERATION]
COMMISSIONER WENHAM. SO, ITEM FIVE FOR COMMISSIONERS CONSIDERATION IS GOING TO BE PRESENTED BY MR. ANTHONY. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN 2025 UPDATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025 2026 THROUGH FISCAL YEAR 2030 THROUGH 2031, PREPARED BY THE CITY OF REDDING TO ASSIST WITH THE MULTI YEAR SCHEDULING OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT FOR THE CITY TO CONFORM WITH THE GENERAL PLAN. AND AT THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU, MR. ANTHONY. OH, OKAY. THIS CLOCK OVER HERE WITH THREE MINUTES IS REALLY THAT'S INTENSE. LUKE. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M ABLE TO DO IT IN THREE MINUTES, BUT I'M GONNA TRY. LUKE. SO I MEAN COMMISSIONER MINOR. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU,[00:15:06]
COMMISSION MEMBERS. STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOR ALLOWING ME TO BRING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN TO THIS PRESENTATION OR TO THIS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN PRESENTATION TO THIS MEETING TODAY. WE HAVE OUR TABLE OF CONTENTS OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO COVER, AND WE'RE GOING TO GET RIGHT INTO IT. SO WHAT IS A CAP AND WHY BRING IT TO CAP? I MEAN, WHY BRING IT TO PC? AND I'M ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE CAP IS REALLY IT'S AN EXCITING DOCUMENT FOR THE CITY. IT SHOWS THE PROGRESS OF THE CITY AND THE UPCOMING NEW INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, AS WELL AS UPGRADES TO THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE WE ALREADY HAVE. IN SHORT, THOUGH, IT'S A SUMMARY OF ALL OF THE CITY'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANS COVERING ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT WOULD HAVE A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT A BUDGET DOCUMENT. IT IS A METRIC, RATHER TO GAUGE THE AMOUNT OF BUDGET THAT'S NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN OR IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE CITY. AS A METRIC, IT'S UTILIZED FOR GOOD PLANNING AND GIVES DIVISIONS TARGETS TO REACH THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS, AS WELL AS IDENTIFYING FUNDING STRATEGIES THAT THEY MAY GO AFTER. THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY BE INCLUDED IN A CITY BUDGET. THIS FIVE YEAR PROGRAM OF PROJECTS THAT IS ADOPTED ANNUALLY BY CITY COUNCIL, AS REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT CODE 66002 OR THE MITIGATION FEE ACT, IS. IT'S REQUIRED FOR US DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE. CURRENTLY, THE CITY HAS AN ADOPTED DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE PROGRAM. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE DO IT. ADDITIONALLY, WHY BRING IT TO CITY COUNCIL OR GOSH, SORRY GUYS, READ MY NOTES THAT SAY CITY COUNCIL FOR SOME REASON.WHY BRING IT TO PLANNING COMMISSION? WELL, ONE, IT'S THE LAW. SO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65103 C REQUIRES THAT A CITY MAKE FINDINGS THAT THE CIP IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S MOST CURRENT GENERAL PLAN, AND YOUR ROLE AS PLANNING COMMISSION TODAY IS TO MAKE THOSE FINDINGS AND GIVE COMMENTS TO THIS TO THIS DOCUMENT. ADDITIONALLY, IT'S ALSO JUST GOOD BUSINESS SENSE, AS FORMER DIRECTOR CHUCK AUKLAND WOULD SAY, AS SOME OF YOU KNOW, WHO ARE ON THE COMMISSION FOR THE LAST GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, THAT TOOK A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT AND PUBLIC AND COMMISSION INVOLVEMENT. AND THAT DOCUMENT THAT WAS FINALIZED IN THE VISION IS THE VISION OF WHERE REDDING NEEDS TO GO IN THE FUTURE. IF THAT DOCUMENT IS THE FUTURE, THEN THE CIP CAN BE CHARACTERIZED AS THE ROADMAP OF PROJECTS THAT WILL HELP GET US THERE. FUNDING FOR THE CIP COMES FROM, WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, THE VAST MAJORITY OF PROJECTS WITHIN THE CIP COME FROM UTILITY RATES AND COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAMS, BUT THERE ARE ALSO THERE ARE 48 TOTAL DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES THAT MAKE UP THE 751 MILLION. SO THAT'S THREE QUARTERS OF A BILLION WORTH OF PROJECTS. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF TEN MAJOR FUNDING CATEGORIES, ONE OF WHICH IS ANTICIPATED GRANTS. AND I WANTED TO FOCUS ON THIS ONE FOR YOU GUYS BECAUSE IT PLAYS A TWO PART ROLE FOR US. AND SOME OF YOU GUYS HAVE PROBABLY CAUGHT ON. THROUGH THIS, THROUGH THE ALL THESE DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES. DEPARTMENTS ACTIVELY SEEK COMPETITIVE GRANTS TO FUND THEIR PROJECTS. THE OTHER MAJOR, THE OTHER MAJOR. DEFINITION OF THIS FUNDING SOURCE WOULD ALSO BE USED TO CATEGORIZE UNMET NEEDS. SO WE DIDN'T HAVE NECESSARILY A SPECIFIC UNMET NEEDS FUNDING SOURCE CATEGORY. SO I UNIDENTIFIED GRANTS OR ANTICIPATED GRANTS IS THE ONE WE CHOSE TO USE BECAUSE A LOT OF DEPARTMENTS WILL END UP SEEKING GRANTS. OTHERS WILL ALSO HAVE TO SEEK OTHER FUNDING SOURCES TO COMPLETE THEIR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. SO WE BROKE THIS UP THIS YEAR INTO TWO DIFFERENT STAGES. ONE IS WHICH PROJECT CHANGES BETWEEN THE SIPS. SO FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR. AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE CHANGES FROM TWO WEEKS AGO TO NOW TODAY. SO WE'LL COVER BOTH. SO THE FIRST ONE IS THE ANNUAL WE'LL CALL IT COMPLETED PROJECTS. THE CITY COMPLETES A VARIETY OF PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THEY EITHER ADDED NEW. SOME ARE MOVED OUT INTO FUTURE YEARS. SO WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE IS JUST PROVIDED A LITTLE BIT OF SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT EACH DEPARTMENT, AS THEY'VE GONE THROUGH THEIR UPDATE THIS YEAR, HAVE EITHER COMPLETED OR HAVE
[00:20:04]
GOTTEN RID OF AS THERE MAY NOT BE A NEED ANYMORE, OR THEY HAVE MOVED THEM OUT INTO THE FUTURE BECAUSE CURRENT GROWTH OR OTHER FACTORS ARE NOT ALLOWING THEM, OR THE NEED ISN'T THERE FOR THE IMPROVEMENT. AIRPORTS WAS SPECIFIC TO THAT. THEY HAD A LAUNDRY LIST OF PROJECTS. THEY DECIDED THAT A LOT OF THOSE PROJECTS ARE GOING TO FALL WITHOUT OUTSIDE THE FIVE YEAR HORIZON, SO THEY EITHER MOVE THEM TO THE OUT YEARS, WHICH IS SECTION D OF OUR DOCUMENT, OR THEY DELETED THEM IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY MAY DECIDE AT A FUTURE TIME THAT A DIFFERENT PROJECT IS MORE WARRANTED BASED ON THE NEED. SO YOU CAN GO THROUGH AND KIND OF SEE THAT ROUGHLY, EACH DEPARTMENT COMPLETES 1 TO 2 PROJECTS PER YEAR, WITH STREETS AND WATER COMPLETING MUCH MORE. BUT THAT IS DEFINITELY DUE TO YOU CAN SEE THE SIZE OF EACH ONE OF THOSE CAPITAL IMPACT FEE PROGRAM STREETS IS 193 MILLION AND WATER, I BELIEVE WAS ABOUT 130. SO THEY'RE THE LARGER DEPARTMENTS. THEY PUMP OUT A LOT OF PROJECTS PER YEAR, SO THEY TEND TO COMPLETE MORE THAN SOME OF THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS. SECOND ONE IS I ALLUDED TO IS THE CHANGES BETWEEN DRAFTS THAT WE MADE TO BETTER ALIGN THIS DOCUMENT TO WITH THE FUTURE WE SEE AND WHAT WE NEED. ONE OF THE GENERAL PLAN, ONE OF THE DIRECT CHANGES THAT WE MADE WAS THAT GENERAL PLAN GOALS AND POLICIES WERE FURTHER EVALUATED SO THAT THE PROPER GOALS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH PROJECTS, AND THIS WAS DUE ONE TO AS ACTUALLY AN EMAIL FROM COMMISSIONER MANUEL THAT POINTED OUT THAT FIRE HAD NO GOALS LISTED. SO WE INCLUDED THEIR GOALS NOW, AND YOU'LL SEE THAT CHANGE IN THE RED LINE. ADDITIONALLY, AIRPORTS REMOVED SEVEN OF THEIR PROJECTS TO THE FUTURE SECTION AND CONSOLIDATED TWO OF THEIR PROJECTS INTO ONE PROJECT.SINCE IT MADE THE MOST SENSE TO DO THAT. AT THE SAME TIME, THE FUTURE SECTION, AS YOU GUYS HAVE MAYBE FOUND AS YOU'VE RESEARCHED THE DOCUMENT, IS SECTION D THAT THAT ALIGNS FUTURE PROJECTS AS WELL AS UNMET NEEDS. SO EITHER UNFUNDED, YOU'LL FIND, YOU KNOW, THE CITY'S BACKLOG OF PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE IS IN THAT CATEGORY. AND SO WE FELT THAT THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO SHOW AS WELL THAT THERE ARE THERE'S MUCH MORE WORK THAT WE CAN DO, BUT WE AS MANY JURISDICTIONS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE AND THE UNITED STATES ARE LIMITED ON OUR FUNDING OF WHAT WE CAN DO. COMMUNITY SERVICES. THEY COMPLETED A PROJECT, STREETS MOVED A PROJECT OUT INTO THE FUTURE. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON'S COMMENTS. THAT WAS THE POINT OF VENTURA BRIDGE THAT GOT MOVED OUT INTO A FUTURE SECTION, INSTEAD OF AT THE END OF THE FIVE YEARS AND SIX REDDING FIRE DEPARTMENT PROJECTS WERE ADDED INTO THE CURRENT FIVE YEAR HORIZON. WE ALSO RENAMED FUNDING SOURCES THAT WERE UTILIZING IMPACT FEE TO BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH TERMINOLOGY. PARKS HAD SOME. THEY WERE USING A DIFFERENT TERMINOLOGY, SO PARKS IMPACT FEE SEEMED APPROPRIATE FIRE AS WELL. WE WE JUST RENAMED THOSE TO BE CONSISTENT. THEN IDENTIFIED NUMEROUS PROJECTS ACROSS MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS. AGAIN, TO MEET WITH THE GENERAL OR GOVERNMENT CODE 66002. AND WE UPDATED PROJECT BUDGETS THAT HAVE CURRENT ESTIMATES. SO THESE ARE PROJECTS IN YEAR 1 TO 2 YEARS OF THE GENERAL PLAN, WHICH ARE MORE CONCRETE. THEY'VE HAD AN ENGINEER ACTUALLY PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE.
YEARS THREE THROUGH FIVE ARE A LITTLE MORE PLANNING LEVEL ORDER OF MAGNITUDE NUMBERS. SO YOU CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE A LITTLE MORE REFINED IN YEARS ONE AND TWO. AND THEN WE JUST REDISTRIBUTED. WE DISTRIBUTED THE BUDGET TO YEARS IN WHICH THE PROJECT WAS ANTICIPATED TO GO TO CONSTRUCTION. AND WE FOUND A LITTLE SNAFU IN OUR FORMULAS THAT IT WAS JUST PICKING UP THE FIRST YEAR OF FUNDING, NOT THE FIRST YEAR OF FUNDING OF CONSTRUCTION. SO YOU'LL SEE THAT ON YOUR LIST OF PROJECTS IS NOW MORE ACCURATE TO THE YEAR THAT THEY'LL GO TO CONSTRUCTION. AND THEN WHAT I'M CALLING ANCILLARY CHANGES IS A LOT OF THE BUDGET UPDATE FIGURES. YOU KNOW, WHERE THOSE GOT UPDATED IN THIS PROCESS. AND THEN THE TOTAL CIP VALUES WERE UPDATED AS WELL. SO WITHIN THE CIP, THERE ARE NINE NINE CITY OF REDDING DIVISIONS. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS DOCUMENT, ONLY EIGHT HAVE PROJECTS. RPD DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROJECTS AS THEY INFORMED US, WHICH MAKES UP A TOTAL OF 198 189, EXCUSE ME, CAPITAL INVESTMENTS. BUT AS REDDING CONTINUES TO GROW, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE AIRPORT IS ANTICIPATING GROWTH AS SERVICES EXPAND. HOWEVER, THEIR FUNDING STRATEGY ENTAILS MANY ANTICIPATED GRANTS, WITH THE MAJORITY BEING FFA OR EXCUSE ME, FAA, AND THOSE WILL NOT BE SOUGHT AFTER UNTIL THE GROWTH
[00:25:01]
OCCURS. FOR THE REST, AS YOU CAN SEE, A GOOD AMOUNT OF THOSE INVESTMENTS ARE THE CITY'S UTILITY DIVISION. AS INFRASTRUCTURE CONTINUES TO AGE AND MUST BE UPGRADED WITH CHANGING REGULATIONS REQUIRED BY STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS. AS YOU'LL KNOW TONIGHT, AS PART OF YOUR ROLE AS PLANNING COMMISSIONER IS CONFIRMING THAT THE CIP IS IN CONFORMANCE IS THIS VITAL STEP THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PERFORM. AS SUCH, YOU'LL FIND A LIST OF SAMPLE PROJECTS AND THEIR CORRESPONDING GENERAL PLAN, GOAL OR POLICY THAT THE CAPITAL INVESTMENT IS MEETING. HOWEVER, THERE ARE PROJECTS THAT COVER MULTIPLE GENERAL PLAN GOALS AND ONLY 1ST MAY BE LISTED. AS AN EXAMPLE, THE CALIFORNIA STREET BIKEWAY PROJECT THAT WAS COMPLETED THIS FISCAL YEAR AND WAS INCLUDED IN LAST YEAR'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, COULD BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MEETING SEVEN DIFFERENT GENERAL PLAN GOALS. NOW, THIS IS AN EXTREME AS MOST PROJECTS TEND TO ONLY MEET ONE GOAL OR. THERE'S A SMALL LIST OF PROJECTS THAT MEET MULTIPLE GOALS. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, STREETS TENDS TO MEET THE THE T ELEMENTS. SO THAT'S YOUR TRANSPORTATION ELEMENTS WITHIN THE GENERAL PLAN, ALL PUBLIC FACILITIES, YOU KNOW, FIRE, WASTEWATER, WATER, RU ARE ALL MEETING THEIR PUBLIC FACILITIES, CODE GOALS IN THE GENERAL PLAN. AND PARKS MEETS THE RECREATIONAL GOALS. SO WITH THAT INCLUSION AS PRESENTED TO YOU WITHIN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION FIND THAT THE CITY OF REDDING 2526 TO 20 3031 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN AND OUR NEXT STEPS WITH WILL WITH PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION AND YOUR COMMENTS. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN WILL BE BROUGHT TO A PUBLIC HEARING AT CITY COUNCIL AND RECOMMENDED FOR ADOPTION BY RESOLUTION. UPON A SECOND READING, THE COUNCIL SHALL RESOLVE AND ADOPT THAT THE CITY OF REDDING'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN OF 25, 26 TO 20 3031 IS ADOPTED. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT STAFF WILL BRING TO COUNCIL ACTUALLY NEXT MONTH, AS LONG AS WE CAN MAKE THAT TARGET WITH THAT. THAT'S MY PRESENTATION AND I FEEL FREE FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. AND I WILL OPEN IT UP TO THE COMMISSIONERS FOR QUESTIONS. I KNOW WE HAVE SOME. SO WHO WANTS TO START? NOBODY. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON. YEAH, I'LL I'LL SAY THANK YOU FOR I KNOW THAT WE PUNTED THIS TO THIS MEETING. YOU GUYS, YOU KNOW, WANTED TO TO MOVE IT OUT. AND WE WERE ABLE TO ADD SOME COMMENTS BEFORE, YOU KNOW, HEADING OUT LAST MEETING. AND I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS BRINGING SOME CLARITY AND RECATEGORIZING UPDATING THE, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS SOME OF THE MAIN CONCERN IS LIKE, IT SEEMS LIKE THESE ARE ALL KIND OF PRIORITIZED AT VERY SIMILAR LEVELS. YOU WERE ABLE TO BREAK THOSE OUT A LITTLE BETTER AND ALSO UPDATE THE, THE BUDGET NUMBERS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT COSTS AS BEST YOU CAN.I THINK IT BRINGS MORE CLARITY. SO THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. I HAVE SOME COMMENTS LATER, PROBABLY NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS VOTE. THAT'S MORE PROCEDURAL ABOUT THE CIP PROCESS IN THE FUTURE. SO I'LL JUST DEFER TO THAT TIME. BUT FOR NOW, I DO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU GUYS DID TO UPDATE THIS. THANK YOU. ANYBODY ELSE? MR. WENHAM, DO YOU KNOW? YES. IF I MAY, THE IT WOULD BE ACCURATE TO SAY THIS IS A MIXTURE OF PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN DEFINED AS CAPITAL PROJECTS. THAT THAT COME COME TO BEAR FROM MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE WAYS, WITH ONE OF THEM BEING NEXUS STUDIES FOR DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES. AND A NEXUS STUDY IS THE FOUNDATIONAL ITEM THAT LEADS TO ADOPTION OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES, WHICH THEN LEADS TO THE NEED FOR A CIP, BUT NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. DO I HAVE THAT CORRECT? YEAH. OKAY. GOOD. CORRECT. AND SO WOULD IT ALSO BE FAIR TO SAY THAT YOU DO HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS IN HERE THAT YOU'RE PLANNING AHEAD FOR BECAUSE YOU'RE WORKING ON A CIP UPDATE EXERCISE, EXCUSE ME, A DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE UPDATE EXERCISE. AND IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND OR THE MIND OF ALL THE DEPARTMENT HEADS, THEY'VE DONE SOME ADJUSTMENTS HERE IN ANTICIPATION OF THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE PROGRAM AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE SMUSHING TOWARDS ANTICIPATED CONSISTENCY. HOW'S THAT FOR MY VERSION? THAT IS NOT BAD. ELOQUENTLY PUT. YOU DON'T GET TO USE COMMISSIONER SMOOSHING VERY OFTEN. AND THEN WHAT? ONE ITEM OF JUST IN TERMS OF PROJECTS THAT ARE IN HERE. WELL, LET ME PAUSE FOR A MOMENT. I DON'T, I GUESS SINCE OUR OUR ACTION IS SPECIFIC ONLY TO CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, HOW DO WE DECIDE AS A
[00:30:05]
CITY WHAT BASIC TOOLS AND SUPPLIES IN A DEPARTMENT GET CAPITALIZED IN A PLAN LIKE THIS VERSUS NOT? AND. AND THAT MAY NOT BE AN EASY ANSWER. WE NEED TO PUNT THAT DOWN THE ROAD. AND I ALSO WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT'S NOT GETTING NOT GOING TO GET IN THE WAY OF MY ABILITY TO VOTE YES FOR CONSISTENCY. BUT I DO SEE THINGS LIKE REPLACEMENT OF A FIRE TRUCK IN HERE YET, AND I SEE A REPLACEMENT OF A FORKLIFT AT THE AIRPORT AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO HOW IS IT THAT THOSE COME TO BE CONSIDERED CAPITAL? SO I'LL BRING MY QUESTION DOWN TO SOMETHING VERY SPECIFIC. SINCE WE'RE ASKED TO DO A GENERAL, I MEAN, A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CONSISTENCY. HOW DO WE DECIDE THOSE ARE CAPITAL OR EVEN DOWN TO HOSES IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARE CAPITAL IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS AS OPPOSED TO NOT IN OTHER DEPARTMENTS OR OTHER ITEMS? I THINK MAYBE IT'S MAGIC. YEAH. NO, NO, I THINK I THINK EACH DEPARTMENT LOOKS AT THEIR ASSETS DIFFERENTLY FROM A STREET'S POINT OF VIEW. OBVIOUSLY, MY ASSET IS VERY EASY TO SEE, RIGHT? IT'S OUT THERE ON THE ROADWAY. WATER'S NOT SO EASY TO SEE, BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S THERE BECAUSE YOU TURN YOUR FAUCET ON FOR SOMETHING LIKE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, THE AIRPORT LIGHTS, YOU'VE NOTICED THESE ARE ASSETS THAT THEY SEE SHOULD BE OR NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY VERY HIGH VALUE ASSETS. YOU KNOW, IN THE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FIRE TRUCK, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FORKLIFT PER SE. YEAH, $80,000, 80,000.SO SO, YOU KNOW, I WOULD, YOU KNOW, YOU COULD CONSIDER THAT A LESS EXPENSIVE CONSIDERING YOU COULD BUY AN F-350 FOR THAT, THAT VALUE. WELL, THEY PROBABLY HAVE FUEL TRUCKS AT THE AIRPORT THAT COST THAT MUCH. SO. RIGHT. WE'LL TALK CONSISTENCY LATER. SORRY, I'LL STAY ON TRACK.
RIGHT. BUT BUT YEAH, SO SO AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH OUR PROCESS AND TALKED TO THOSE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS, THESE ARE ASSETS THAT THEY FEEL RISE TO WHAT WOULD BE A CAPITAL INVESTMENT.
SO WE'VE TRIED TO DEFINE THOSE IN THAT RETROSPECT. WHAT IS A WHAT IS A REAL CAPITAL INVESTMENT? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AND I THINK IT MEANS A LOT DIFFERENT TO THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS. AND ULTIMATELY, OUR GOAL WILL BE WITH THE NEXUS STUDY THAT YOU DISCUSSED, THAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW WOULD BE TO HAVE OUR COUNCIL DEFINE WHAT IS CAPITAL INVESTMENT. I THINK THAT'S OUR BIGGEST GOAL OR NEED FROM THEM IS TO DECIDE WHAT IS THOSE CAPITAL INVESTMENT. SO WE ARE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE WITH THIS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. BUT IF THE COUNCIL CHOOSES THOSE ARE NOT, THEN UPON OUR NEXT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT WE WILL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT UPDATE NEXT YEAR THOSE WILL BE REMOVED. AND I THINK THAT'S THE THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE KIND OF WORKING THROUGH RIGHT NOW, BEING THAT BOTH THE, THE UPDATE FOR THIS PLAN AND THE NEXUS STUDY UPDATE FOR DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES ARE JUST ARE RUNNING CONCURRENT. YEAH, VERY, VERY GOOD. I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S SLIGHTLY, SLIGHTLY BETTER. YOU PROBABLY REGRET YOUR CART BEFORE THE HORSE. I THINK YOU'RE RUNNING IN PARALLEL, WHICH IS WHICH IS FINE. OKAY. I'M CONTENT. I'LL HAVE SOME OTHER COMMENTS UNDER COMMISSIONER COMMENTS ABOUT CONSISTENCY ISSUES THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO OUR ACTION ITEM. OUR ACTION ITEM IS GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY. AND I HAVE NO NO CONCERNS WITH WITH THAT. OKAY.
I COULD HAVE JUST SAID THAT. I HAVE A QUESTION KIND OF PIGGYBACKING OFF OF WHAT RUSS, WITH THE IMPACT FEES ASSUMPTIONS WERE CORRECTED. WAS THAT BECAUSE OF THE INCONSISTENT WITH THE NEXUS STUDIES OR THE AVAILABLE BALANCES, IT WAS INCONSISTENT WITH THE NEXUS STUDY. SO SPECIFICALLY LIKE WASTEWATER, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD PROJECTS THAT THEY HAD ALWAYS ANTICIPATED, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THEIR WASTEWATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE AS UTILIZING A PORTION OF. AND THAT WAS THEIR LIST WERE BROUGHT TO THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE STAKEHOLDER GROUP AND WAS DISCUSSED, YOU KNOW, THAT WE DID AT GREAT LENGTH.
YES. SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS, AGAIN, AS THIS PROCESS IS THESE PROCESSES ARE PARALLELING EACH OTHER. YOU HAVE STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, GETTING DEEPER INTO THIS, UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CODE REQUIRES. SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT PROJECTS LIKE THAT WERE INCLUDED, IF THEY'RE TRUE BLUE DEVELOPMENT DRIVEN PROJECT, LIKE SOME THAT ARE IN WASTEWATER AND WATER AND EVEN SOME OF THE STREETS ONES. OKAY.
AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN, BUT I'M WONDERING IF THERE WERE ANY PROJECTS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY ON IT THAT WERE PULLED BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T IN ALIGNMENT WITH OUR GENERAL PLAN? YEAH, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I DON'T BELIEVE, AND I CAN LOOK TO BRANDON AS WE WENT THROUGH. YEAH, WE DIDN'T PULL ANY THAT WERE SPECIFIC, LIKE WE'RE MISSING A GENERAL PLAN GOAL. AND WE WENT, WHOOPS, THEY WERE ALL NEEDS DRIVEN OR YEAH, WE'RE
[00:35:04]
NOT GOING TO DO THAT PROJECT ANYMORE OR COMPLETE IT. SO WE DIDN'T FIND ANY. IT BEGS THE QUESTION, IF THERE WAS ONE THAT WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW. AND THEN DO YOU KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN IS ALREADY FUNDED? IF YOU LOOK AT SECTION D, I BELIEVE IT'S SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 500 MILLION. WE KIND OF BREAK THAT APART. I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIND THE PACKET PAGE. COMMISSIONER. SO 502 MILLION. SO PACKET PAGE TWO. 323233 YEP.I'M IN THE RED LINE ONE. SO THE RED LINE COPY IS 233. SO FIVE 502 MILLION ARE FUNDED. WE'VE IDENTIFIED A GRANT OR WE'RE UTILIZING UTILITY RATES OR GAS TAX TO TO FUND THOSE. AND THEN THE OTHER 248 MILLION IS CURRENTLY UNFUNDED. OKAY. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON HAS A QUESTION THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE FUTURE PROJECTS, THOUGH, RIGHT. THAT'S EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT CATEGORY. CORRECT. THAT'S JUST WITHIN THE FIVE YEAR HORIZON. OKAY. YES.
ALL RIGHT. OKAY. THOSE ARE ALL MY QUESTIONS FOR NOW. SO UNLESS ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANYTHING BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT. OKAY. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME I'M GOING TO OPEN IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. AND SEEING THAT WE HAVE NONE. BUT IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO THE ARE THEY PURPLE OUT THERE? THE PURPLE CARDS CAN BE FILLED OUT AND NOBODY'S GETTING UP. SO I'M GOING TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT AND COME BACK TO COMMISSIONERS FOR COMMENTS. GO AHEAD. I'M READY TO MAKE A MOTION IF YOU'RE READY. CHAIR. YES, I'M READY. I MOVE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. OKAY. RUSS HAS MOVED IT. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I SECOND THAT MOTION. JOSH, ANY OTHER COMMENTS BEFORE WE TAKE A VOTE? RUSS, WE WILL GET TO HEAR THE REST OF YOUR THOUGHTS LATER OR YEAH, I'M I'M HONORED THAT YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS REALLY WONDERING. SO THANK YOU.
YES, YES, I HAVE MORE THOUGHTS. OKAY. IS THAT IF WE CLOSE IT AND I DON'T GET TO HEAR THE THOUGHTS, THEN THAT WOULD REALLY LEAVE ME ON EDGE. NO, NO OTHER DISCUSSION. YOU'VE.
YOU'RE GOOD. YEAH. I THINK WHAT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR STAFF IS UNDER COMMISSIONER'S COMMENTS HERE LATER IN THE AGENDA TO HEAR SOME THOUGHTS MORE GENERALLY AS THEY PERTAIN TO DEVELOPMENT OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. SO THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION. THE GENERAL PLAN. YEAH. OKAY. ARE YOU OKAY? OKAY, LET'S TAKE A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU, MR. ANTHONY. THANK YOU GUYS. I LIKE TO THANK YOU ANTHONY. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT FOR NON AGENDA MATTERS WITHIN THE CITY'S JURISDICTION. AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY CARDS FOR THAT EITHER. SO I'M GOING TO OPEN
[7. COMMISSIONERS’ COMMENTS ]
THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT. AND NOW WE ARE ON TO COMMISSIONER COMMENTS.RUSS GIVE IT TO US. SO RUSS I THINK YOU'RE UP. YEAH, I THINK I THINK COMMISSIONER JOHNSON HAD SOME THOUGHTS ALSO FOR THIS TIME. SO YOU KNOW, WHAT I HAD TO DO IS WHICH IS HARD. THE WAY MY LITTLE HEAD WORKS IS WRAPPING MY HEAD AROUND THIS ACTION HERE, WHICH IS GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY. NO PROBLEM, I LOVE IT. I HAVE NO ISSUES. I DO HAVE SOME SERIOUS RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE HOW THESE PLANS ARE DEVELOPED AND THE INFORMATION THAT'S IN HERE. IT RANGES FROM, YOU KNOW, IF YOU FOLLOW THIS TRAIN OF THOUGHT, IT RANGES FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WHO HAS SOME VERY EXPENSIVE TOOLS TO THAT, THAT THEY DON'T CAPITALIZE IN A DOCUMENT LIKE THIS YET THEY GET MAINTAINED, REPLACED, SERVICED, UPGRADED, ETC. WITHOUT BEING IN A PLAN LIKE THIS. AND THEN YOU HAVE HOSES IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN A LIST LIKE THIS. I CAN'T POSSIBLY RECONCILE THAT. AND THEN YOU HAVE A FORKLIFT AT THE AIRPORT, BUT I DON'T SEE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE GREAT BIG YELLOW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AT THE TRANSPORTATION STATION MUST COST NOW, BUT I'M GOING TO VENTURE A GUESS. THEIR BIGGEST YELLOW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT OUT THERE MUST BE SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND IT'S NOT IN CLEAR. AND THEN. AND THEN AGAIN. YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT I'M GOING TO MESS WITH YOU. MR. ANTHONY, IS THAT YOU SAID? WELL, STREETS, IT'S ALREADY COVERED IN THE STREETS, BUT YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF YELLOW EQUIPMENT JUST LIKE THESE OTHER FOLKS IN THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, HAS A BUNCH OF JOHN DEERE TRACTORS OR WHATEVER THEY DRIVE. SO SO THERE'S JUST TREMENDOUS INCONSISTENCY. AND THAT JUST
[00:40:05]
DRIVES ME NUTS. AND THEN I GET OVER IT. USUALLY THE TRICK IS JUST LISTEN TO ME AND SAY, YES, I HEARD YOU. AND THEN THEN I GET OVER IT. I FEEL BETTER, BUT I THINK WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAN THAT UP. AND, AND I DON'T, AND I KIND OF WONDER IF SOME OF THE DEPARTMENTS HAVE SOME HAVE DONE THIS AND SOME HAVEN'T, BUT SOME DEPARTMENTS HAVE A PRACTICE, AN EVOLVED PRACTICE OF IF YOU GET IT ELEVATED INTO HERE, IF YOU GET IT ELEVATED INTO THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE PROGRAM, THEN I HAVE ANOTHER REVENUE STREAM BY CHARGING DEVELOPERS.AND THEN IN OTHER AREAS, THEY DON'T DO THAT. AND THAT. AND I'M NOT HERE TO ARGUE THE RELATIVE MERITS OF THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL NEEDS. THERE ISN'T ANYTHING IN HERE THAT ISN'T A NEED. BUT AGAIN, THE LAST EXAMPLE WOULD BE TO HAVE IN A PLAN LIKE THIS, A REPLACEMENT OF A FIRE TRUCK AT A MILLION AND A HALF BUCKS THAT WE'VE DECIDED TO CONSIDER IT CAPITAL WHEN THINGS THAT ARE EXACTLY LIKE THAT IN THE CITY, WE HAVE NOT DECIDED TO CALL THEM CAPITAL IS VERY PROBLEMATIC FOR MY HEAD MAKES IT VIBRATE. AND SO I'M JUST GOING TO LEAVE IT, LEAVE IT WITH THAT AND JUST SAY, I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT BEING SOMETHING THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE, WE BRING MORE CONSISTENCY AND NOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF REDUCING FEES.
THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT DISCUSSION, NOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF, YOU KNOW, HOW WE HOW WE, YOU KNOW, CHARGE FOLKS OR WHAT OUR RATES ARE. BUT JUST FOR CONSISTENCY THROUGH THIS, THROUGH THIS DOCUMENT AND IN HOW WE, HOW WE, YOU KNOW, KEEP TRACK OF THESE THINGS. SO THAT'LL SAY THANK YOU. YOU KNOW, JUST, JUST IF YOU LISTEN VERY WELL. AND I GOT IT OFF MY CHEST FOR TODAY, IT'S LIKELY TO COME BACK. SO I'LL, I'LL LET THAT GO NOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER WINDHAM, DO YOU FEEL BETTER, MR. MINOR? THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? YES. SO THE WAY COMMISSIONER WENHAM STARTED OUT, HIS COMMENT, WHICH WAS THAT HE WAS INTERESTED IN HOW THE DOCUMENT WAS PRODUCED OR HOW IT COMES TOGETHER, IS ACTUALLY KIND OF A GREAT JUMPING OFF POINT FOR ME, BECAUSE I SIMILARLY WAS ASKING MYSELF THIS AND PROBABLY NOT TO, TO THE SAME VIBRANCE OF HOW THINGS RING IN YOUR HEAD, BUT I, YOU KNOW, WHEN AN ADVISORY BODY DOESN'T GET TO GIVE ADVICE, WE'RE ON THE BACK END JUST KIND OF STAMPING SOMETHING AND WE AREN'T ON THE FRONT END OF IT. I JUST ASKED MYSELF, WELL, IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY THERE FOR COLLABORATION, NOT FOR POWER? OR SO THAT WE HAVE SOME SORT OF AUTHORITY WE SHOULDN'T HAVE, BUT IN A PROCESS THAT'S SOMETHING SO BIG 700 PLUS MILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE ARE A LOW BODY ADVISORY, BUT CONNECTED TO THE PEOPLE. COULD WE HAVE IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY IN THE FUTURE TO HAVE THIS BODY AND THE PUBLIC MORE ENGAGED IN THE PROCESS THAT COULD KIND OF BRING TOGETHER? PLANNING YOUR, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC WORKS, ENERGY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT KIND OF THIS TOGETHER. OTHER CITIES, AS I RESEARCHED MENLO, OF COURSE, YOU DO THE, THE LEGAL THING WHERE YOU GOT TO FIND IT CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN. SO THEY ULTIMATELY END UP THERE. THAT'S JUST LIKE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. BUT THEY ACTUALLY START THE PROCESS. THEY DEVELOP TOGETHER A FIVE YEAR KIND OF PRIORITY CAPITAL PRIORITIES FRAMEWORK THAT IS MORE OF A POLICY DOCUMENT, NOT A BUDGETARY DOCUMENT. AND THAT COULD BE REALLY INTERESTING TO, TO BUILD OUT, I THINK MIGHT MIGHT BE NICE TO SEE IF ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER WEBB OR THE CITY MANAGER OR THE COUNCIL, CITY COUNCIL WOULD BE INTERESTED IN HAVING TRULY SOME, YOU KNOW, DOCUMENT BROUGHT TO THEM LIKE, HEY, HERE'S, HERE'S ACTUALLY A WORK PRODUCT THAT, YOU KNOW, ISN'T JUST AND THIS IS I WAS TALKING TO DIRECTOR PAGAN TODAY AND, YOU KNOW, STAFF HAS, YOU KNOW, ALL THE DIRECTORS HAVE A PRETTY GOOD PULSE ON, YOU KNOW, THINGS RELATED TO THE NEXUS STUDY AND INVESTMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED AND EQUIPMENT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WEARING DOWN THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE, BUT MAYBE NOT ALWAYS THE SAME PULSE ON WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR THE, OR THE PATHWAYS TO WHERE GROWTH IS HAPPENING OR, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING SO HARD ALL DAY.
SO HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEING KIND OF THOUGHT OF OR PLANNED OR, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE OPPORTUNITIES MIGHT LIE? BUT I THINK THAT IT COULD BE AN INTERESTING OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF BRING THOSE THINGS TO THE SURFACE. AND WOULD THAT HELP INFORM THE PRIORITY LIST OR
[00:45:03]
WHEN THINGS MIGHT GET INVESTED IN BEYOND JUST THE, YOU KNOW, DISREPAIR OF TOOLS? AS, AS YOU KNOW, AS I SAID, SO, YOU KNOW, I GUESS IN, IN SPECIFICS, I WOULD LOVE TO MEET WITH MAYBE DO A LITTLE STUDY ON THAT, LIKE OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, IT'D BE KIND OF FUN TO KIND OF PULL TOGETHER. WELL, HOW ARE SOME OTHER CITIES DOING THIS? IF THEY'RE DOING IT IN REVERSE, WHERE IT'S A MORE COLLABORATIVE PROCESS, COULD THAT BE A FRAMEWORK WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADOPT IF THAT WAS OF INTEREST OF THE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OR ANYONE, ANYONE ELSE BUT THAT THAT WOULD HELP ME BECAUSE I, I FEEL LIKE WE'RE WE'RE AN ADVISORY BODY, NOT REALLY PROVIDING ANY ADVICE HERE. WE'RE KIND OF JUST LIKE, WELL, YEAH, I GUESS THESE ALL KIND OF WORK, YOU KNOW, IT'S CONSISTENT WITH GENERAL PLAN, BUT I FEEL LIKE WE IT'S NOT JUST US, BUT I MEAN, EVEN PROVIDING, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE, WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN GET MORE INVOLVED OR SOME OF THESE LIKE PLAYERS THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT IN OUR COMMUNITY, WHETHER IT'S THE CHAMBER OR THE EDC OR OTHER MEMBERS OF VARIOUS, YOU KNOW, SHASTA BOARD OF REALTORS, OR YOU'VE GOT VARIOUS OTHER, YOU KNOW, COMMUNITY PLAYERS AND STAKEHOLDERS THAT COULD REALLY, IF THEY LOOKED AT THIS AND, AND WE STARTED, YOU KNOW, SANDBOXING, IT, IT COULD BE REALLY INTERESTING IF ANYTHING ELSE WOULD COME TO THE SURFACE AS A PRIORITY THAT MIGHT IT MIGHT EVEN FLAG SOME THINGS THAT ARE LIKE, OH, YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. THAT WAS LIKE A STUFF THAT THAT MIGHT BE HAPPENING OR GOING ON OR PLANS IN THE FUTURE. SO ANYWAY, THAT'S MY RAMBLING, MY ONLY, MY ONLY COMMENT THERE. I THINK IT WOULD BE FUN. I'LL PULL TOGETHER SOME OF THAT STUFF AND MAYBE GET TOGETHER WITH SOME OF YOU GUYS OFFLINE. YEAH. THANK YOU. I'LL JUST ADD A LITTLE DOVETAIL TO THAT. BOTH BOTH YOUR GUYS'S COMMENTS. GREAT COMMENTS. REALLY APPRECIATE THAT FEEDBACK. I KIND OF TEASED YOU GUYS WITH IT LAST TIME. SO YES, IT'S LIKE, JOSH HAVE YOU BEEN I MEAN, EXCUSE ME, COMMISSIONER JOHNSON, HAVE YOU BEEN LOOKING OVER MY DESK LIKE WHAT'S ON MY DESK RIGHT NOW? SO, SO I'M CURRENTLY, YOU KNOW, AT THE BEHEST OF CITY MANAGER AND ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER WEBB, WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING OUT TO RFP FOR THE NEXT CIP. WE'LL INCORPORATE, YOU KNOW, HEARING YOUR COMMENTS COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, THIS BOARD'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROCESS, I THINK WOULD BE GREAT. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD DO AS A CITY TO GET THIS DOCUMENT TO BE THE COMMUNITY DOCUMENT WE WANT. OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF PUSH PULL OF PRIORITIES OF EVERYBODY, RIGHT? WHEN WE GET THAT TOGETHER. BUT THAT'LL BE RIGHT. STAFF'S JOB, YOUR GUYS'S JOB WITH US TO KIND OF HELP HONE IN.WHERE DOES WHERE DO ALL THESE PROJECTS FIT? RIGHT? WHERE DO THE WANTS FIT WITH THE ACTUAL NEEDS BASED ON, YOU KNOW, DATA AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE? SO WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING THE RIGHT PROJECTS IN HERE. SO, SO THAT IS GREAT. I'M GLAD TO HEAR THIS. I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, INVOLVED, YOU KNOW, A WANTED INVOLVEMENT FROM YOU GUYS BECAUSE I WILL BE TAPPING YOU GUYS AND, AND ASKING FOR YOUR GUYS'S FEEDBACK WITH THAT. SO, SO LOOK FOR THAT TO COME. THAT IS MY GET THIS THING DONE AND THEN START DRAFTING AN RFP LOOKING AT WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE DONE AS WELL. SO SO I APPRECIATE THAT. AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO IT'S GOING TO GO GREAT INTO NEXT YEAR. SO WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE A DOCUMENT MORE LIKE THAT. THANK YOU. AND I DO THINK THAT'S GREAT. I THINK IT'LL HELP ALL ADVISORY BOARDS THE MORE CONSISTENCY.
AND IF WE KNEW HOW THIS DOCUMENT WAS TO COME TO FRUITION, HOW IT CAME TO BE TO US. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER. YEAH. OH, I FORGOT YOU'RE NOT ON MUTE. I HAD A, I HAD ANOTHER, I HAD ANOTHER ITEM ON, ON THE FIRST TOPIC IN THE, IN THE CONTEXT OF EFFICIENCY, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY FLOODPLAIN ITEMS COME BEFORE THIS BOARD EACH YEAR.
LILLY WOULD PROBABLY KNOW ONE A YEAR, MAYBE 1 OR 2 A YEAR. AND HOW MANY IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS OR TEN YEARS. YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME. LILLY. YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEDIGREE IN THIS AREA, AS I RECALL. HAS A COMMISSION DENIED. RIGHT. AND SO IT'S A PRINCIPLE THAT I LEARNED IN ONE OF MY VERY FIRST LEADERSHIP CLASSES A MILLION YEARS AGO. AND THAT IS IF YOU KEEP AS THE BOSS, KEEP GETTING PRESENTED THINGS FOR YOUR SIGNATURE AND YOU APPROVE EVERY ONE OF THEM, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED. THAT'S A, THAT'S A, THAT'S A PERFECT INDICATION THAT IT SHOULD BE DELEGATED. SO A CHALLENGE, I DID NOT DO ANY RESEARCH INTO THE ORDINANCE OR ANYTHING, BUT WE HAVE WE HAVE THESE FLOODS. THERE'S REAL SERIOUS FLOOD SITUATIONS THAT THAT NEED SOME HEAVY DUTY AND PUBLIC REVIEW AND SCRUTINY AND VOTES. BUT THERE'S OTHERS THAT ARE TRUE, JUST FORMALITIES, WHICH YOU ALREADY HAVE, SOME OF THEM WHERE THERE'S FLOOD CERTS OR UNILATERALLY DONE. IT JUST FEELS LIKE THERE'S THINGS LIKE THIS WHERE, WHERE YOU HAVE A, WHERE YOUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT CONCURS WITH THE ENGINEERING ANALYSIS THAT THERE'S A ZERO CHANGE TO THE FLOODPLAIN. AND THERE WE OUGHT
[00:50:04]
TO BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH A WAY TO MODIFY THE ORDINANCES TO WHERE THAT IS A DIRECTOR APPROVAL AND PUT US PUT US OUT OF BUSINESS BECAUSE BECAUSE THERE MUST BE. I KNOW FOR A FACT, BY THE TIME IT GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH, THE CLERK AND THE NOTICING AND THE HAND DELIVERING. THANK YOU. JEREMY. YOU USUALLY DROP IT ON MY DOORSTEP ON FRIDAYS. AND THE PEOPLE HERE, THE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF HOURS THAT GO INTO PROCESSING THESE THINGS WHEN MAYBE WE CAN GET IT DOWN TO ONLY 100. SO THAT'S THAT'S A ASPIRATIONAL IDEA THERE. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT, CHAIRMAN, CHAIRPERSON THERE WE GO. THANK YOU. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER IN ALL OF THIS IS THAT OUR FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS IS ALL PART OF OUR CRS PROGRAM, WHICH IS A COMMUNITY RATING SYSTEM. IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO HOW OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT IS RATED. OUR BUILDING CODE AND STUFF IS RATED RIGHT. SO WE GET A SCORE OF. RIGHT NOW OUR CURRENT RATING IS SEVEN. SO THAT MEANS OUR RESIDENTS WHO BUY FLOOD INSURANCE GETS A 15% DISCOUNT IF WE. SO OUR CHARGE HERE IS BECAUSE WE'VE COMMITTED TO THIS PROGRAM AND WE HAVE A ORDINANCE THAT MEETS THE FEDERAL FEMA STANDARDS IS THAT I. ANY CHANGE WOULD HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED WHAT THOSE IMPLICATIONS ARE. SO I WILL LOOK INTO THAT AND SEE HOW WE CAN REDUCE THE BUREAUCRACY. AS I HEAR IT, THROUGH SOME OF THE PROCESSES THAT MAY BE UNNECESSARY. SO IF WE CAN DO SOMETHING LESS THAN SOMETHING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STILL CONSISTENT WITH FEDERAL AND STATE STANDARDS. VERY GOOD. WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE. IT MAY BE THAT THAT TO TO GET THAT CHECK MARK WITH FEMA, YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE A HIGHER LEVEL PROCESS. BUT MAYBE THAT HIGHER LEVEL PROCESS IS BAR AS OPPOSED TO HERE. BECAUSE EVEN THAT I KNOW HAVING REPRESENTED DEVELOPERS, IT'S A MUCH LIGHTER LIFT FOR STAFF, ENGINEERS, DEVELOPERS, EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, AT A BAR PUBLIC HEARING AS OPPOSED TO A PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING. SO I'M, I'M HAPPY. I PROMISE NOT TO BRING UP ANOTHER ITEM TODAY. THANK YOU. I GUESS THE QUESTION WOULD BE, WOULD FEMA CONSIDER A LOWER LEVEL BODY A RELAXING OF THE STANDARD OR NOT? AND IF THEY DIDN'T CONSIDER IT A RELAXING OF THE STANDARD, WE COULD MAINTAIN OUR OUR RATING.SO IT'S A GOOD COMMENT. WE'LL LOOK INTO IT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMISSIONER COMMENTS? DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS FROM DIRECTOR PAGAN? NO, OTHER THAN YOU MIGHT NOTICE ON THE AGENDA.
I TOOK MYSELF OFF THE AGENDA. YOU DID, YOU KNOW, AND THE INTENTION OF THAT JUST FOR THE FUTURE IS I FEEL LIKE WE'RE ALL COMMUNICATING PRETTY REGULARLY AND TRYING TO KEEP YOU APPRIZED OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE DEPARTMENT. AND I GENERALLY FELT LIKE I I WOULD GET MYSELF IN A BIT OF HOT WATER WITH THE BROWN ACT IF I STARTED, YOU KNOW, JUST GOING ON AND ON ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WASN'T ADEQUATELY AGENDIZED. SO I'VE REMOVED DIRECTOR'S REPORT. AND JUST FOR THOSE REASONS, AND ALSO TRYING TO MAINTAIN CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION WITH YOU ALL JUST ON A REGULAR BASIS VERSUS JUST AT PLANNING COMMISSIONS. SO I'LL HAVE TIME MAYBE UNDER ANNOUNCEMENTS. THERE'S ANOTHER PORTION OF THE AGENDA WHERE I CAN GIVE YOU GUYS SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS OR INFORMATION. BUT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, I'VE WENT AHEAD AND REMOVED THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT IN FAVOR OF JUST REGULAR COMMUNICATION WITH YOU ALL OUTSIDE OF THIS, THIS MEETING. SO NOTHING FURTHER FROM ME. GLAD YOU STATED THAT.
SO NOW WE KNOW AND YOU'LL JUMP IN WHEN YOU NEED TO. I'LL JUMP IN WHEN I NEED
