[PUBLIC COMMENT]
THANK YOU. FIRST UP ON THE AGENDA IS PUBLIC COMMENT. IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW, AN ITEM NOT SCHEDULED ON THE AGENDA MAY BE BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR COMMENT. HOWEVER, THE CITY COUNCIL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DISCUSS OR TAKE ACTION ON ANY ISSUE NOT INCLUDED ON THE AGENDA. YOU MAY SPEAK UP TO THREE MINUTES. SPEAKERS HAVE ONE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL UNDER PUBLIC COMMENT. WE HAVE TWO SPEAKERS. FIRST UP, JAMES AMBROSE. THANK YOU. I LIVE IN THE FARM DEVELOPMENT OFFICE, AND THE REASON FOR MY ATTENDANCE HERE AND DESIRE TO SPEAK IS WITH RESPECT TO THE OPEN SPACE, COMMERCIAL OR RECREATIONAL ZONE THAT, BASED ON MY ATTENDANCE AT THE LAST MEETING, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S NOTHING FORMALLY PENDING. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS IN THE SENSE THAT IS THERE ANYTHING THAT IS BEING PROPOSED AND IS JUST IN THE PRELIMINARY STAGES. AND SO MY QUESTION OR MY, MY REASON IS TO RAISE PROCESS ISSUES SUCH THAT THE, THE PUBLIC. ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT LIVE IN THE AREA, WANT TO BE MADE AWARE OF WHAT, IF ANYTHING, IS BEING PROPOSED AND WHAT STAGE IT'S AT. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT'S EVEN SOMETHING THAT THE COUNCIL ENTERTAINS OR DOES, BUT I THINK THEY SHOULD. AND SO THEREFORE I'M REQUESTING THAT THERE BE SOME KIND OF COMMUNICATION THAT WOULD ALLOW THE PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY CAN EXPECT IN TERMS OF DISCLOSURES WITH REGARDS TO. BECAUSE WHILE IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN BANDIED ABOUT, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE NEXT BIG PROPOSAL SINCE THE MEASURE H DEFEAT HAS BEEN SET FORTH THAT THAT HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN. I DON'T KNOW, THOUGH I WOULD HAZARD TO SAY THAT I COULD BE 180 DEGREES WRONG WITH REGARDS TO THAT. AS I'VE HEARD, NOTHING OFFICIAL FROM THE COUNCIL OR THE ADMINISTRATION AGENCIES. AND SO THE FIRST IS A PROCESS ISSUE WITH REGARDS TO THAT. THE SECOND IS THAT BECAUSE THE THE COMMENTS THAT WE MADE THAT IT HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN, THERE'S NOTHING CURRENTLY PENDING LEAVES ONE WITH THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON. AND THAT'S CONTRARY TO WHAT WE UNDERSTAND THE CASE TO BE. IT'S JUST IN MY EARLIER PROFESSION AS A LAWYER, YOU CAN MINCE WORDS AND YOU CAN SAY THINGS THAT LEAD ONE TO BELIEVE ONE THING, EVEN THOUGH THE THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE. AND SO I DON'T NOT THAT ANYBODY'S DOING THAT HERE. BUT UNTIL SOMETHING IS SAID IN A DEFINITIVE FASHION,[00:05:08]
I TAKE ALL THINGS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. AS FAR AS WHAT IS GOING ON. THE SECOND IS, IS THAT IN THE PROCESS, WITH REGARDS TO MEASURE H, THIS COUNCIL PROCEEDED TO SUBMIT THE.THERE WAS A DISCUSSION WITH REGARDS TO. WOW. MY THREE MINUTES GOES LIKE A HOT KNIFE THROUGH BUTTER. ANYWAY, I WILL OBVIOUSLY STOP NOW, BUT ANOTHER POINT I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE UP THE IDEA OF THE PROCESS FOR WHICH YOU REVIEW THINGS AND GO. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. AND WE HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER HERE, CHRIS OR JULIE, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY TONIGHT OR. AFTERWARDS, TONIGHT RATHER THAN BEFORE THE. WELL LET'S LET'S SEE WHAT CHRIS MIGHT. YEAH. NOTHING REALLY TO SAY TONIGHT, BUT BUT SIR, I'M HAPPY TO GIVE YOU A CALL. JULIE AND I, ONE OF US WILL CONTACT YOU, REACH OUT TO YOU, AND WE'D EXPLAIN TO YOU ABOUT THE FARM SPECIFIC PLAN AND HOW THE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ARE SCHEDULED TO MOVE FORWARD.
HAPPY TO DO THAT. THANK YOU. NEXT UP, NANCY BRAGG. THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO TRY TO STICK TO THREE MINUTES. SO THAT'LL BE A MIRACLE IN ITSELF. WHY DON'T YOU PULL THOSE MICROPHONES DOWN A LITTLE BIT BETTER. THERE YOU GO. OKAY. I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT HERE SINCE 1987. I LIVE IN THE GARDEN ROAD COMMUNITY. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY. I LOVE MY CITY. BUT THE PROBLEM WE'RE HAVING AND I HAVE SOLUTIONS. I CALL THE CITY COMPLIANCE OFFICE A NUMBER OF TIMES. RESIDENTS DO.
IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM IN GARDEN ROAD OF OVERGROWN WEEDS ON PROPERTIES, FRONT YARDS, ABANDONED VEHICLES, FRONT YARDS. WE DO THE WHOLE DANCE. YOU CALL THE CITY, THEY WANT US TO TAKE PICTURES. NOBODY WANTS TO DO THAT BECAUSE THERE'S RAIN CAMERAS. THAT'S NOT REALLY THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE. THE CITY COMES OUT, SENDS LETTERS TO THE RESIDENT. IT DOESN'T GET DONE, THE FRONT YARDS DON'T GET CLEANED UP. AND IT'S JUST AN ONGOING PROBLEM TO ME. IT'S A WASTE OF TIME, OF THE CITY WHEN WE CAN HAVE SOLUTIONS THAT I THINK WOULD BE BETTER. OTHER CITIES HAVE ADDRESSED IT, THESE ISSUES, AND THEY HAVE HAD THE THE SOLUTIONS AND CLEANED UP THE AREA, WORK WITH THE RESIDENTS. SO THAT THAT'S MY MAIN ISSUE IS OVER. I MEAN, IT MIGHT SOUND PETTY TO SOMEBODY, BUT IF IT'S YOUR VALUE OF A PROPERTY AND A REALTOR IS ACTUALLY CALLING FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SELL YOUR HOME, THE VALUE OF THOSE HOUSES IS UNREALISTIC. $1 MILLION TO 900, A FIXER UPPER ON SOME OF THOSE, AND THEY ARE GETTING CLEANED UP AND THINGS ARE BEING DONE, BUT NEW RESIDENTS ARE COMING IN. BUT IT'S THAT IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM. SO I'D LIKE THE CITY TO, YOU KNOW, THIS ISN'T WORKING. WHAT WE'RE DOING PRESENTLY SENDING LETTERS DOES NOT WORK. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ONCE AGAIN, I THINK I'LL HAVE THE CITY MANAGER REACH OUT AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN BE MORE EFFECTIVE FOR YOU. YEAH, AND SOMEBODY LEFT A PARCEL HERE. MEXICAN. IS IT VALUABLE? I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT FROM MEXICO, SO I WOULDN'T KNOW THE FIRST TIME YOU GET MONEY FOR SPEAKING AT CITY COUNCIL. THANK YOU. OUR CITY MANAGER, CHRIS HAZELTINE. THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT. NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS THE
[CONSENT CALENDAR]
CONSENT CALENDAR. DO WE HAVE ANY SPEAKERS? WE DO NOT. I'M HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEMS ONE THROUGH SIX, THE CONSENT CALENDAR, COUNCIL COMMENTS OR A SECOND, NOT ALL AT ONCE. THAT LOOKS LIKE A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER DE HOFF. THIS IS A ROLL CALL. VOTE WITH THE DEPUTY CITY CLERK. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL COUNCIL MEMBER DAYHOFF AYE. COUNCIL MEMBER PIKIS A DEPUTY MAYOR. MAEDA I MAYOR VOSS I. ITEM PASS. THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO ITEM[7. Capital Improvement Program Update]
SEVEN. STAFF REPORT. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE. PRINCIPAL CIVIL ENGINEER JONATHAN SCHAUBLE WILL PRESENT THE ITEM ALONG WITH THE POWERPOINT. JONATHAN, WELCOME.GOOD EVENING. MAYOR, DEPUTY MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. TONIGHT I'M GOING TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE ACTIVE PROJECTS. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS LIST OF PROJECTS THAT ARE PULLED TOGETHER FROM VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS BASED ON NEEDS ASSESSMENTS, MASTER PLANS, AND CONDITION ASSESSMENTS. EACH YEAR. THE PROGRAM IS APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL IN JUNE PRIOR TO THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. THE CITY'S CURRENT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WAS APPROVED IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR AND INCLUDES 78 TOTAL PROJECTS, WITH A MULTI-YEAR FUNDING ALLOCATION OF NEARLY $69 MILLION. THESE 78 PROJECTS HAVE BEEN DIVIDED INTO FIVE
[00:10:04]
CATEGORIES STREETS, DRAINAGE, PUBLIC FACILITIES, WATER AND SEWER. TONIGHT I'M GOING TO START WITH THE STREETS PROJECTS. HERE'S A LIST OF STREETS PROJECTS THAT ARE ACTIVE AND DISCUSSED IN THE STAFF REPORT. FOR THIS ITEM, I'D LIKE TO START BY TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT OUR STREET MAINTENANCE AND OVERLAY PROJECTS. THE ANNUAL STREET MAINTENANCE OVERLAY PROJECTS FOR 2025 ARE COMPLETE. THESE PROJECTS RESURFACE THE ROADS AND MAINTENANCE ZONE EIGHT, WHICH IS IN THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF POWAY, SHOWN AS LIGHT PURPLE IN THE MAP. THE STREET MAINTENANCE PROGRAM UTILIZED A NUMBER OF TREATMENT STRATEGIES IN ZONE EIGHT, INCLUDING CRACK SEAL, SLURRY SEAL, CAPE SEAL AND HOT MIX ASPHALT CONCRETE PATCHING.WHEN ADDED TOGETHER, APPROXIMATELY 5,000,000FT■!S OF PAVEMENT WAS RESURFACED AS PART OF THIS ANNUAL PROGRAM. AFTER THE STREET MAINTENANCE WAS COMPLETED, THE ANNUAL CITYWIDE STRIPING PROJECT REPLACED PAVEMENT STRIPING AND MARKINGS ON ALL THE STREETS THAT WERE RESURFACED IN ZONE EIGHT. THE PROJECT ALSO REFRESHED FADED PAVEMENT STRIPING AND MARKINGS, AND MAINTENANCE ZONES TWO, FOUR, AND SIX EFFECTIVELY RESTRIPING HALF THE CITY. AS A RESULT OF STREET MAINTENANCE WORK IN ZONE EIGHT, THE CITY'S OVERALL AVERAGE PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX SCORE HAS INCREASED FROM 76 TO 78. YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHAT IS A PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX SCORE? PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX, OR PCI, IS A SCORE BETWEEN 0 AND 100 THAT IS USED TO INDICATE THE GENERAL CONDITION OF PAVEMENT BASED ON PAVEMENT DEFECTS SUCH AS CRACKS, RUTS AND POTHOLES. SO BASICALLY, THE HIGHER THE SCORE, THE BETTER THE PAVEMENT CONDITION.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS FIGURE, THE CITY OF POWAY'S AVERAGE PCI SCORE OF 78 IS BETTER THAN MOST AGENCIES IN THE COUNTY. THIS DOESN'T JUST MEAN SMOOTHER ROADS FOR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. BECAUSE OF THE GOOD CONDITION OF PAVEMENT, WE ARE ABLE TO UTILIZE MORE COST EFFECTIVE MAINTENANCE TREATMENTS SUCH AS SLURRY SEALS AND CAP SEALS, AS OPPOSED TO MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TREATMENT OPTIONS SUCH AS FULL DEPTH RECONSTRUCTION. YOU SEE HERE WE'RE NUMBER TWO ON THE LIST, JUST CLOSE TO CARLSBAD AT THE TOP THERE. THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL UPGRADES PROJECT WILL START CONSTRUCTION IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR. THIS PROJECT WILL INSTALL HARDWARE AND VIDEO DETECTION CAMERAS AT TWO INTERSECTIONS, TWIN PEAKS ROAD AND COMMUNITY ROAD INTERSECTION, AND THE INTERSECTION OF POMERADO ROAD WITH MEADOWBROOK ROAD. THE PROJECT WILL REPLACE AGING TRAFFIC SIGNAL EQUIPMENT, WHICH WILL PROVIDE IMPROVED VEHICLE DETECTION AND IMPROVE OPERATING EFFICIENCY AT THESE TWO INTERSECTIONS. THE CONSTRUCTION WORK IS SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION BY THE END OF THE SUMMER. THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT BURIAL BARRIER REMOVAL AT BUCKLEY STREET IS COMPLETE. THIS PROJECT CONSTRUCTED PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS TO CREATE AN ACCESSIBLE PATH CONNECTING THE BUCKLEY STREET SIDEWALK TO COMMUNITY PARK. HERE'S ANOTHER SET OF BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES, SHOWING THE NEW SIDEWALK AND RAILING AT THE EASTERN END OF BUCKLEY. THIS PROJECT INCLUDES THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW FLASHING LIGHT SYSTEM AT THE INTERSECTION OF ASHPOLE ROAD AND WESTLAND COURT TO ALERT DRIVERS WHEN EMERGENCY VEHICLES ARE EXITING FIRE STATION TWO STAFF IS CURRENTLY REVIEWING THE FINAL DESIGN. CONSTRUCTION.
BID DOCUMENTS WILL BE PREPARED FOR PUBLIC BIDDING THIS SPRING. AND HERE'S A LIST OF DRAINAGE PROJECTS IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. THE CHANNEL REHABILITATION PROJECT IS AN ANNUAL PROJECT TO REPAIR SECTIONS OF DETERIORATED CONCRETE CHANNEL, SIDEWALLS AND BOTTOMS. THIS YEAR'S PROJECT WILL MAKE CHANNEL REPAIRS ALONG CHANNELS NEAR POMERADO ROAD, FLORAL AVENUE AND ALLBROOK DRIVE. AFTER CONDUCTING A PUBLIC BID PROCESS, THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WAS AWARDED TO L.B. CIVIL CONSTRUCTION AT THE FEBRUARY 17TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING. CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN IN APRIL ON THIS PROJECT AND SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS. SHOWN HERE IN LIGHT BLUE ON THE MAP IS RATTLESNAKE CREEK, RUNNING THROUGH COMMUNITY PARK. ALONG THE CHANNEL BOTTOM IS A 550 FOOT CONCRETE SWALE, OR RIBBON DRAIN, THAT WAS BUILT IN THE LATE 1970S AND IS NOW DETERIORATED BEYOND ITS USEFUL LIFE. HERE YOU CAN SEE AREAS OF THE CREEK WHERE THE CONCRETE
[00:15:02]
RIBBON GUTTER IS BROKEN INTO PIECES AND IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. THE CITY WORKED WITH A CONSULTANT TO DEVELOP A REHABILITATION APPROACH, WHICH INCLUDES REMOVING THE BROKEN CONCRETE AND INSTALLING THREE DROP STRUCTURES TO MANAGE THE FLOW OF WATER AND REDUCE FUTURE EROSION. IN ADDITION, THIS PROJECT WILL STABILIZE THE CREEK BANKS WITH BOULDERS AND NATIVE VEGETATION. THE PICTURES YOU SEE HERE ARE CONCEPTUAL EXAMPLE OF WHAT A FULLY DESIGNED PROJECT MIGHT LOOK LIKE. IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH ENGINEERING, DESIGN AND PERMITTING OF THE PROJECT, STAFF WILL REQUEST APPROVAL OF THE CONSULTANT AGREEMENT AT A FUTURE CITY COUNCIL MEETING NEXT MONTH. HERE'S A LIST OF ACTIVE PUBLIC FACILITIES PROJECTS IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. IN ADDITION TO THE PROJECTS LISTED HERE, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROJECTS SUCH AS HVAC, CONCRETE, ROOFING, LIGHTING, AND PAINTING OF VARIOUS PUBLIC FACILITIES CITYWIDE. THE COMMUNITY PARK RESTROOM PROJECT INCLUDES THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A STANDALONE RESTROOM BUILDING AT COMMUNITY PARK, ADJACENT TO THE EXISTING BOCCE COURTS. THE DESIGN CONSULTANT IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE 50% DESIGN PACKAGE, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN APRIL. THE FINAL ENGINEERING DRAWINGS ARE SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION IN JUNE. THIS PROJECT WILL CONSTRUCT 6 TO 8 DEDICATED PICKLEBALL COURTS FOR USE BY THE PUBLIC. CITY STAFF ANALYZED A NUMBER OF LOCATIONS IN THE CITY AND IDENTIFIED ONE PREFERRED LOCATION THE CORNER OF STOWE DRIVE AND CROSTHWAITE CIRCLE. THE FIGURE ON THE RIGHT IS A CONCEPTUAL LAYOUT OF WHAT THE DEVELOPED SITE COULD LOOK LIKE. THE PARK AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THE PROJECT AT THEIR APRIL MEETING. FOLLOWING THAT MEETING, NEXT STEPS WILL BE TO REQUEST PROPOSALS FROM DESIGN CONSULTANTS AND START THE DESIGN PROCESS. THERE ARE EIGHT CIP PROJECTS RELATED TO MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE POWAY CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS. THESE PROJECTS INCLUDE AN ORCHESTRA SAFETY NET, ELEVATOR REHABILITATION, ADA IMPROVEMENTS, SEWER REPLACEMENT, SECURITY CAMERAS, ELECTRICAL AND HVAC IMPROVEMENTS, THE HVAC CONTROLS PROJECT IS NEARLY COMPLETE. A SEPARATE PROJECT TO REPLACE THE EXISTING INCLINED ADA LIFT AT THE MEZZANINE LEVEL WILL BEGIN INSTALLATION THIS MONTH. THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 PCPA MAINTENANCE PROJECT WILL CONSTRUCT ADA IMPROVEMENTS OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE PCPA BUILDING. THIS PROJECT IS NOW BEING PUBLICLY BID, WITH CONSTRUCTION BIDS DUE THE FIRST WEEK OF APRIL. AN UPDATE ON THE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND THE STATUS OF THOSE ASSOCIATED PROJECTS WAS PROVIDED AT THE FEBRUARY 3RD CITY COUNCIL MEETING. THE WATER MASTER PLAN UPDATE AND IMPLEMENTATION IS CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED WITH AN ENGINEERING CONSULTANT. THE ANNUAL WATER VALVE REPLACEMENT PROJECT WAS CREATED IN COORDINATION WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS UTILITIES DIVISION TO SUPPLEMENT IN-HOUSE MAINTENANCE OF WATER VALVES. STAFF SELECTED THE HIGHEST PRIORITY VALVES BASED ON THEIR AGE AND RELIABLE SERVICE LIFE. THIS YEAR'S PROJECT REPLACED 11 WATER VALVES AT FIVE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THIS PROJECT IS NOW COMPLETE.HERE'S A LIST OF ACTIVE SEWER PROJECTS IN THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. THE ANNUAL SEWER AND MANHOLE REHABILITATION PROJECT REHABILITATES SEWER, MANHOLES AND REPLACES SEWER PIPE AS NEEDED THROUGHOUT THE CITY. CURRENTLY, THE CITY'S ENGINEERING CONSULTANT IS PREPARING DESIGNS FOR BOTH SEWER PIPE AND MANHOLE REHABILITATION AS SEPARATE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. BASED ON CURRENT SCHEDULES. BOTH DESIGNS WILL BE COMPLETED THIS SPRING AND THEN PUBLIC BIDDING WILL COMMENCE. THE SEWER MASTER PLAN AND IMPLEMENTATION IS CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED WITH AN ENGINEERING CONSULTANT. THE BUTTERFIELD TRAIL SEWER PROJECT WILL UPSIZE THE SEWER PIPE ALONG ASH HOLLOW CROSSING ROAD IN A SPOILER ROAD BETWEEN BUTTERFIELD TRAIL AND CLOUDCROFT DRIVE. DUE TO CAPACITY ISSUES WITH THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, THE SEWER UPSIZING PROJECT WAS DETERMINED TO BE NECESSARY IN THE SEWER MASTER PLAN. THIS PROJECT DESIGN IS AT 90% COMPLETION AND WILL BE PUBLICLY BID THIS SPRING. AND THIS CONCLUDES THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
[00:20:03]
THANK YOU. JONATHAN. WE HAVE NO PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS COUNCIL COMMENTS. QUESTIONS. MR. DAYHOFF, LET'S START WITH YOU. THANKS. GREAT PRESENTATION JONATHAN. I ACTUALLY WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE THE BREADTH OF THE NUMBER OF PROJECTS THAT POWAY UNDERTAKES. YOU KNOW, IT'S MORE THAN JUST LIKE WATER AND SEWER PROJECTS. IT'S THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON.I WAS LOOKING AT THE PICKLEBALL COURTS AND I SEE WHERE THEY ARE RIGHT NOW. THAT'S A GREAT THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW, BRINGING THOSE OUT. THERE'S A HUGE INTEREST IN PICKLEBALL. AND CITING THEM UP THERE MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. JUST ONE QUICK THING. I'VE GONE TO THE POWAY PADRES GAMES, YOU KNOW, A NUMBER OF YEARS. AND THOSE GUYS BUILT THOSE BALLS INTO NEXT WEEK. SO YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER PUTTING SOME SORT OF BARRIER UP BY THOSE PICKLEBALL COURTS FOR WHEN THOSE BALLS COME OVER. AND I WAS ALSO SEEING THAT OUR ROADS ARE LOOKING GREAT, WHICH IS REALLY IMPRESSIVE CONSIDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY TRANSIT THROUGH POWAY. AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE ONE BEHIND CARLSBAD. I WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN WE CAN WE CAN BEAT THEM. I WAS THINKING WE NEED A SLOGAN. SO I'M THINKING WE SHOULD LIKE BE BE LIKE 89 BY 29. I KNOW IT'S A IT'S A STRETCH GOAL, BUT I THINK WE CAN DO IT. BUT YEAH, I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO. I GET A LOT OF COMMENTS FROM RESIDENTS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE AMENITIES HERE IN POWAY. AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S YOU GUYS THAT ARE THAT ARE DOING THIS. AND I THINK THEY THEY REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR FOR YOUR WORK HERE. COUNCILMEMBER PINCUS. WELL PETER SAID MOST OF WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY, EXCEPT YOU MENTIONED THAT YOU HAVE REPAID 5,000,000FT■!S. IS THAT PER YEAR OR IS THAT FOR ALL EIGHT DISTRICTS OR HOW DOES THAT WORK OUT? SO WE DO ONE MAINTENANCE ZONE PER YEAR. SO THAT'S JUST THE MAINTENANCE ZONE EIGHT THAT WE JUST COMPLETED. THAT'S 5,000,000FT■!S. THANKS FOR CLARIFYING THAT. JUST LAST YEAR WAS 5,000,000FT■!S. THANK YOU. DEPUTY MAYOR MAIDA. I AM ALWAYS ASTONISHED AT THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE PROJECTS THAT OUR TEAM UNDERTAKES. I WISH THERE WERE A WAY FOR TO SOMEHOW PIPELINE THAT INTO PEOPLE'S BRAINS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS POWAY TEAM IS CAPABLE OF, AND HOW MANY BALLS THEY HAVE IN THE AIR AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IT'S IT'S REMARKABLE. I KNOW THE PICKLEBALL PROJECT. I GET QUESTIONS ABOUT PICKLEBALL.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE SOME COURTS? ALL THE TIME. SO THAT WILL CERTAINLY BE WELL RECEIVED AND GREAT LOCATION FOR THAT. SO I APPRECIATE IT. GREAT REPORT. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. AND WE COULD DO IT SOONER THAN 29, I THINK 89 BY 27. DAMN IT. THANK YOU. WE'RE MOVING ON TO COUNCIL
[COUNCIL-INITIATED ITEMS]
INITIATED ITEMS OPPORTUNITY BRIEFLY SHARE REGIONAL COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENT UPDATES AND BRIEFLY HIGHLIGHT CITY AND COMMUNITY EVENTS COMING UP IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS OR THAT YOU'VE ATTENDED RECENTLY. MR. DE HOFF, TO YOU AGAIN, THANK YOU. ACTUALLY, I ATTENDED THE FIREFIGHTERS BADGING CEREMONY LIKE LAST WEEKEND OR VERY RECENTLY. IT WAS REALLY A GREAT EVENT AT THE PCPA, AND WHAT REALLY STRUCK ME WAS HOW THE WHOLE AFFAIR AND THE WHOLE, YOU KNOW, FIREFIGHTING ORGANIZATION IS LIKE A FAMILY AND IT'S NOT JUST A FAMILY WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION, BUT IT'S A FAMILY THAT EXTENDS TO THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS BECAUSE THESE FOLKS MAKE A HUGE SACRIFICE, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY'RE SENDING, YOU KNOW, THEIR LOVED ONES OUT TO WORK FOR EVERYBODY HERE. AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, JUST LIKE YOU CONSIDER DAY TO DAY, THEY GO OUT AND, YOU KNOW, HUNDREDS OF COUPLE ABOUT A HUNDRED COUPLE HUNDRED TIMES A MONTH. AND THEY'RE SAVING PEOPLE'S LIVES, BRINGING THEM TO THE HOSPITAL. AND THEN SOMETIMES THEY'RE HEADING OUT INTO THE FIELD, YOU KNOW, TO FIGHT FIRES TO, YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE'S LIGHTNING STORMS AND THEY LIGHT UP A BUNCH OF PALM TREES, YOU GOT TO KEEP THAT AWAY FROM THE CITY, OR THEY'RE HEADING OUT TO DEAL WITH FLOODS. AND IT'S IT'S SUCH A VARIATION OF THINGS THAT THEY DO. AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, IT REALLY OPENED MY EYES TO THAT WHEN I WAS THERE. SO I, I THINK PEOPLE HERE. ARE, ARE, ARE UNDERSTANDABLY VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE WORK YOU GUYS DO. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY. COUNCILMEMBER PIKUS, I WAS GOING TO DISCUSS THE FIREFIGHTERS BADGING CEREMONY, BUT PETER BEAT ME TO IT. I DO HAVE TWO OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS. ONE IS EVERY MORNING WHEN I DRIVE ALONG TWIN PEAKS. I'M REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE LANDSCAPING THAT GRANT THAT WE STARTED UP EARLIER THIS YEAR AND CUT DOWN ALL THOSE EXCESS TREES MADE IT A LOT BETTER. IT'S REALLY NICE. SO I WANTED TO THANK THE PUBLIC[00:25:06]
WORKS DEPARTMENT FOR. LEADING THAT CHARGE, AND I KNOW OUR SUBCONTRACTORS DID IT, BUT IT TURNED OUT REALLY WELL. SO VERY PLEASED. AND SECOND IS THAT JENNY AND I HOSTED THE WEBELOS LAST WEEK. SO AND IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. THEY ENJOYED IT. I'LL LET HER DISCUSS IT IN MORE DETAIL. DEPUTY MAYOR. NOTHING. HOW CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE BADGE CEREMONY AND NOT TALK ABOUT BAGPIPES? YOU GUYS HAD ME AT THE BAGPIPES WHEN THEY CAME MARCHING IN. I TELL YOU WHAT, IT'S JUST GOOSEBUMPS. IT WAS SUCH A GREAT CEREMONY TO THINK WE'VE DONE THEM ALL THIS TIME IN HERE. SO TO BE ABLE TO DO IT AT PCPA, SHOW OFF THAT GREAT FACILITY. AND AUDREY, THE STAFF IS ALWAYS WAS ALL SMILES AND DELIGHTED TO BE THERE AND AND PART OF THE CELEBRATION. SO KUDOS TO THEM. BUT GREAT CEREMONY I LOOK FORWARD TO TO MORE LIKE THAT. AND YOU BETTER HAVE THE BAGPIPES NEXT TIME TOO. LAST WEEK I WAS INVITED TO ATTEND THE CHANGE OF COMMAND CEREMONY AT MARINE CORPS AIR STATION MIRAMAR, WHERE MAJOR GENERAL JAMES WHELAN RELINQUISHED COMMAND AND BRIGADIER GENERAL ROBERT BRODIE TOOK OVER. IT WAS AN AWESOME DISPLAY OF OUR MARINES, OF THEIR AIRCRAFT, THEIR CAMARADERIE. BUT THE HIGHLIGHT FOR ME. I GOT TO MEET CAPTAIN E ROYCE WILLIAMS. IF YOU SAW THE NEWS LAST WEEK, HE WAS PRESENTED THE MEDAL OF HONOR AT THE STATE OF THE UNION A WEEK OR SO AGO, 101 YEARS OLD, HE SERVED IN WORLD WAR TWO. HE SERVED IN THE KOREAN WAR. HE SERVED IN VIETNAM. HE IS CREDITED WITH BEING THE TOP GUN OF TOP GUNS WITH THE MOST AMAZING DOGFIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF THE MILITARY, AND I READ MORE ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS AND IT AMAZED ME. HE HAD THIS DOGFIGHT AGAINST RUSSIAN MIGS IN THE KOREAN WAR, FOUGHT OFF SEVEN OF THEM IN THE SPACE OF 35 OR 40 MINUTES. HE LANDED, AND THEN HE WAS TOLD THAT HE COULDN'T TALK ABOUT IT FOR 50 YEARS. HE HAD TO KEEP A SECRET FROM HIS FAMILY, FROM HIS FRIENDS, FROM HIS OTHER PILOTS, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT THE RUSSIANS WERE INVOLVED IN THE KOREAN WAR WITH AIRCRAFT.AND HE KEPT THAT SECRET ALL THOSE YEARS, AND THAT PUT HIM BEYOND THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS FOR THE MEDAL OF HONOR. BUT THEN FOLKS LOBBIED AND LOBBIED AND LOBBIED. AND HERE, AT 101 YEARS OLD, HE FINALLY GOT THE MEDAL OF HONOR AT THE STATE OF THE UNION. HE STILL SPARKLES. HE'S COMPLETELY WITH IT. AND OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE INTRODUCED AT THIS VERY PRESTIGIOUS CEREMONY WITH BRIGADIER GENERALS AND GENERALS, HE GOT LIKE A TWO MINUTE STANDING OVATION FROM THE CROWD. IT WAS JUST AWE INSPIRING AND WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU. SO,
