square foot, and the existing 6,530 square foot, and the existing 6,530 square foot, and the existing 6,530 square foot, and the existing 6,530 square foot, is in a neighborhood that is, an established residential neighborhood, it consists of Cassia Lane, and Regal Oaks Drive, these are all two story custom built homes, developed with a variety of, contemporary architectural styles, that primarily consist of, contemporary architecture, some have Spanish, and Mediterranean influences, while others are defined by, Tudor elements, with turret entries, some of the defining characteristics, for that neighborhood that are, consistent include large covered entries, generous use of windows, stone brick finishes, and large garages. In recent years, homes have been remodeled, across the street, seen at the top here, on the corner of, 2510 Regal Oaks Drive, and then on the bottom, that would be the property to the left, you can see the subject property, and the Spanish tile roof to the right. These recent remodels have, although not gone to the Planning Commission, for entitlements due to, either distance from the neighboring properties, or simply due to remodels, but no new addition on the second floor, have employed the modern approach, of having bigger windows, you know, black aluminum windows, smooth white stucco finishes, that are similar to the proposal, that's in front of us. These types of modern approaches, are becoming a little bit more popular, in the city, and are similar examples, that have been employed. In terms of this design, some of the contemporary design elements, include metal shingle roofing, which would be added, to the existing gable roofs, on the top left hand side, you'll see, the single story portions of the home, that will be retained, those are the story, those are the portions of the house, that are closest to the street, it'll continue to be, a minimum of 100 feet, from the street, as measured to the second story, portion of the home. New elements include, new flat roofs, with cast stone cornices, a mixture of horizontal, and vertical, white cast stone siding panels, smooth stucco finishes, black aluminum windows, and sliding doors, a mixture of curved, and rectangular windows, smooth black, powder coated, and horizontal window overhangs, metal balcony railings, and a wrought iron decorative accents. Staff finds that, the new design is compatible, with the neighborhood, in terms of size and scale, due to the variety of architecture, in the neighborhood, and the existing presence, of contemporary materials, and design. The maximum height of the building, will increase by four feet, but staff believes, that due to the varied roof planes, and articulated façade, helps break up the mass and scale. It will be a large departure, in terms of the architecture, from the existing. The designer is here, and he has provided a letter, indicating their design goals, and approach to that, and I'll let them expand upon that. With these findings, staff is making recommendation, for approval of conditional use, for at 2025-51 Kim, subject to the attached conditions, and staff would be happy, to answer any questions. - So just for clarification, the letter cohesion, through differentiation, and compatibility, that is from the applicant. - That's correct. - Okay. So, we'll enter that into the record. Anybody have a question for staff? Nope? Okay. With that, we'll open up to the public, and we'll have the applicant come forward. Good evening. Can you please state your name, for the record? - So Young Kim. - Have you reviewed all the conditions, of approval, and are in agreement with those? - Yes, I have. - And do you have anything, you'd like to say to us? Have you reviewed all the conditions of approval and are in agreement with those? Yes, I have. And do you have anything you'd like to say to us? No, I don't have anything to say. Okay, real quick. Does anybody have questions for the applicant? I just wanted to see, is the architect with you? Yes. Hi. Do you mind just walking us through the overall design of what you're proposing? Sure. If you don't mind, and state your name for the record, please. I'm Eric Peterson from Claremont Environmental Design Group. Thank you. So we started off trying, the original idea, my approach is save what we can, reuse what you can of a structure. And we kept trying to figure out a way to make the house work with the existing turret. And at some point we realized what's keeping us from achieving the client's goals was the fact that that turret was there. And the other main design issue is the fact that they have a giant front yard and no backyard. It's got the tiniest little backyard and then it just drops off down the hill. So it was like, then we decided, you know what, let's take the center wing out. It's like a long, elongated H structure. So we said, let's take that center piece out and then put a bigger piece that's more of the generous living space and views that we're looking for. And set that back into the front courtyard, which was quite large. And so now we still have a generous front entry, but now we have actually a bigger backyard. Then the other part is to make the yard even bigger, we've added a tiered retaining wall system. So it turned out to create these spaces that we were looking for that a contemporary design would be helpful because we could get more volume and more open feeling inside the structure. And so that center living room, kind of great room, and then we added two bedrooms to the upstairs and an office. And so those were then done in that same style. The front wings of the house, which is the two extensions of the H, legs of the H, there was no change. Two garages, laundry room, media room, two guest bedrooms and suites. That didn't need to change. So we were not interested in tearing that all down to try to make everything look the same. And we did struggle trying to, okay, how are we going to make this all work together? And so what we came up with, because the original design was very minimalist, modern. And so the client was like, well, I don't really want it to be that minimalist. So we went back and said, what kind of decorative elements can we add? So we went back and we said, we found the cornice from the original style. We started adding that cornice to our roof edges. And then we started to add a cast-on element to some of the portions of the facade. And then we carried that back the other direction. So we added the cast-on and some of the metal that we were doing in the addition back to the original. And it started to create this cohesion that we feel really works well. And we're quite happy, excited about it, because it took a long time to get excited about it, trying to make those dissimilar elements work together. And that's kind of how we arrived at where we did. So, Eric, just looking at the north elevation, I'm just responding to the rendering. So, you know, when I received the staff report, I called the staff and we were just walking through the architecture and what you guys are trying to do. I went out there as well to just get a sense of the neighborhood and how does it fit within the overall fabric of the community and just trying to get a better understanding. Currently, what's there today fits better than what you're proposing, in my opinion, from an architect's point of view. So, just looking, for example, at the north elevation that's on the rendering on the left side and just looking at the entry. And I'm assuming these renderings are accurate, right, from what you're proposing. So, just looking at that, just the cornice on top of the entry of the arch or semi-arch window. Is that offset like that on purpose or is it, or is that? You mean the cornice coming out? Yeah, the cornice that's right above the two pilasters and the arch window. Right, we extended that out a little bit for shade. Is it off-center like that, though, or is it just the... It's not off-center. It's symmetrically placed about the front entry. So, is the rendering not correct then, or? Oh, you know, it's how the picture is taken. Because it's on one side is sitting past the pilaster on the left. On the right side is sitting past the pilaster on the left. Well, maybe there's something... It's how the picture is oriented. Because the garage to the right is actually at an angle. So, it's not... That's not the front of the house. It should be the other way, like this. Yeah, this is taking a side view of the house. Do you know what I'm talking about? I don't know what we're talking about. So, are you talking about the center? Oh, yeah. We can't pick up. Do you mind? Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah. Do you mind pointing, Gabe? Are you talking about the center entry? Yeah, the center entry... So, it's symmetrical. So, if there's a mistake, then it's a mistake. But I don't think it's a mistake. I think it's just right. Oh, it might look asymetra because of... Oh, the way it steps? Right, right. Like this. Oh, I see. So, but it is very symmetrical. Yeah. That was important to me, that everything was symmetrical. Yeah. Is that shown somewhere on the elevation that we're just missing it? There were, like we said, like probably like 15 iterations of the design trying to get it to where we want. And so, that particular elevation doesn't show it. But it's literally centered on that piece. It is intended to be symmetrical and centered. Absolutely. Absolutely. Okay. I think right now it's not. So, that it was throwing me out. So, what stone are you proposing to use? So, when I look, so here's my dilemma when I look at the architecture, Eric. Okay. I'm not seeing a residence. I'm seeing like a commercial building in the middle of a neighborhood that you have custom homes. And to me, it starts to feeling like you're going to maybe a dentist's office or something like that. It doesn't look like an actual residence. So, I'm trying to figure out how does it fit within the fabric of the community when you have so many, I know on your write-up you mentioned it's cohesion through different differentiation. So, it's kind of like opposite, right? You're trying to make it cohesive, but it's totally different, which I could appreciate that analogy. I'm just trying to, how does it tie into the overall neighborhood? And I think Gabe did a great job of sharing some other. If Gabe could bring up the two houses that were adjacent, I don't really see. I think our house looks way better. Although it's contemporary. They're more contemporary style. But... So, are you proposing that some of your... So, you're going to keep the gaber roofs. You're going to introduce these cornices. And are you keeping some of the tile or are you replacing the tile on the gaber roof? All the tile is being replaced with a... You see the... Oh, Gabe, can you bring back the house that's right next door? That one. So, the 4070 Cassie Lane house has metal shingles. Yeah. And so, we're replacing our clay tile roof with metal shingles. Are they solar metal shingles or... No. No. No? Okay. We're going to have a large solar array, but it'll sit out of sight on top of the flat roofs. Our feeling is that as you approach the house, you see less and less of what's a gable and what's a flat roof. And you see a horizontal line that's the edge of the roof. And so, we don't... Yes, you see from the street, you see a gable, but it's so far back that we don't really see... I just don't see a conflict anymore at that point. Yeah. I mean, I do agree that the home, that's currently how it sits contextually. It's set back. So, that's a plus, I think, to your benefit. Yeah. I just don't know how it fits within the... Because you end up having competing elements. You end up having gable roofs, and now you have all these parapet walls with this cornice. And I think in your presentation, you mentioned that you're grabbing the cornice profile from existing and incorporating it into your cornice. But I'm not seeing it on the existing in terms of how you're tying it together. Well, look at the north elevation. You can see the cornice on the gable end and on the drip edge of the other garage. You have like an OG there or something? Yep. Okay. And so, some of the elements have a bigger cornice. Yeah. And some of the elements have a smaller cornice that it scales back down to the original cornice. And we just did that based on the hierarchy of the spaces. And then how do you feel about the... So, you're proposing a stone finish on the facade? Not 100%. It's not taking over the whole house. It's just... Partially, though, right? Yeah. You're selectively... By doing it in partial elements, it helps to, again, break the massing down and ground the building to the earth. Yeah. What kind of stone is it, again, on the panels? Oh, it's going to be kind of like a sandstone. Sandstone? But, you know, it's manufactured. So, it's going to be sharp, like sharp edges and everything. And have some, you know, panels so that it won't be like one massive wall. It'll be broken into, like, blocks. And soldier course or stacking course that just... Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And then you guys are okay with having stone above glass? Because it's usually the other way around. You want the lighter material on the top and then the heavier on the bottom. This was an owner-requested idea. And we're... I try not to force myself on... I have my opinion and then I say it's you telling me what you want to do. But here's my thinking. And... Yeah. And, look, I do appreciate... And thank you for sharing the write-up. I did ask staff that I wanted to see a write-up. I wanted to just understand where you guys are coming from. I also understand that Ms. Kim is providing direction, so I respect that as well. Part of how I'm reviewing some of these projects for me as an architect, I'm looking at how do they fit within the fabric, right? And when I look at contextually, like, I think your existing home, Ms. Kim, fits better as currently sits. But I know you're doing a remodel. The plan and all that, I think all that makes sense. It's just the skin of the building or the elements that are being added. Because a lot of them feel forced to me. But, you know, your client, you like it, Ms. Kim. So, for me, it's like, okay, this is something you guys want. I personally don't think it fits well. I drove around the neighborhood and I was looking at some of these other modern additions. And I think they do fit, you know, when you start looking at them. I think this one starts feeling very commercial. And maybe it's just the renderings that's making it look this way because it doesn't have any planting or anything like that. But this is the look that the client wants, and I respect that. I think that the scale of our building is actually broken down to a more residential scale than the other examples in the surrounding neighborhood. And so that when you actually see it side by side, you'll actually think, well, the other one looks more like AMC Theater. You know, or whatever it is where we're going with this. But, yeah. Well, thank you. Appreciate your sharing your design process with us. Appreciate it. Anybody else? Any other questions? Nope. Okay. Thank you very much. Sure. With that, we'll open up to the public. Does anyone wish to come up and speak on this item? Seeing no one coming up to speak. I'll bring it back. I'll bring it back to the commission. Do we have any comments? Start over here. No. No. It's an area with a lot of big houses, a lot of big lots. So there's a little more freedom to me to do stuff there than you would if it was more together. So the fact it may not be exactly the same, to me, that's something good about that because it's same enough. And it's spread out enough in those lots where I think it's acceptable. I think it's a good project. Mr. Marcus? I just wanted to say, so when I look at, again, like I mentioned, when I'm looking at how it fits, and I agree, I don't want all the homes to look the same, but I do want them to fit within the neighborhood. So contextually speaking, we're going to have a difference of opinion. It's okay. We don't have to agree. I get it. You're following direction from your client. You know, as a commissioner, and one of the reasons why I wanted to do this was to just make sure that the projects are fitting in within the fabric. And that's how I'm looking at it. So contextually, I don't necessarily think that it fits well, but this is what the client wants, and I respect that. So, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And my comments are on this, I completely understand what Commissioner Chavez Marquez is saying. Not to his level, because he is an architect by trade. So, but I do feel these type of lots, where they're located, also, too, this street is a little different. This isn't a normal, you're getting very few tracks. You're specifically going to someone's house, and these are much, and that where I feel like this works here. Plus, I think a lot of the other houses are, if I remember right, there's a lot of gates that block, and I'm sure there's going to be landscaping. And I completely understand your point, especially if these were smaller lots into a neighborhood. I can fully understand where this wouldn't fit in. I think this, you know, allows more flexibility. So, I'm in support of this project. With that, I'll look for a motion. I'll move to approve the condition use permit. Do we have a second? Second. Okay. Can we please vote? Okay. Motion moves forward to zero, with Commissioner Bujara absent. Okay. Mr. Dominguez. Thank you. So, this item is approved, subject to a 15-day appeal period to the City Council. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Yep. Great to have you had that action. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Moving on. Item number eight. No new business. There is none. Item number nine. Old business. 9.1. Continued public hearing on conditional use permit 2026-06. DeVore. Mr. Dominguez. Yes. Thank you, Chair Masterson. So, I'll provide a few introductory comments on this one for the benefit of the commission and also for the benefit of the community that's here with us today. So, this item, as you may recall, was last heard by the commission on May 27th. And, you know, we had some great participation from the public on that item, got some great feedback about the project. And, as a result, the commission directed a continuance to tonight's meeting with some direction to have the applicant, you know, reach out to neighbors, have staff provide some information about other kennel facilities within the city. And so, over the last few weeks, you know, we've had good correspondence with the applicant, good correspondence with neighbors. And, ultimately, at this point in time, the applicant has asked staff to come forward this evening with a continuance request to a date uncertain while they evaluate all of their options for whether or not to move forward on this one. So, by continuing this project to a date uncertain, as staff is recommending this evening, what that'll do is when the applicant is ready to bring the item back to us, we'll send out another public hearing notice to all of the neighbors within 300 feet to advise them that it's coming back with the date that it's coming back so that we can make sure that everyone who's interested in this item can come back and participate. So, with that, that's our recommendation this evening, is to continue the item to a date uncertain. I have a question. So, is there some time within which staff will go back to them and say, "Now's the time. Are you ready to go or not? Will it be around forever? But I know there's people who are interested, and I don't wanna have them hang on, you know, every two weeks to come back or wonder when it's coming. So I understand they have the right to put it over and take more time to gather up their facts, but I was curious if there's some routine that staff follows to keep track to where we are along the way. - Yes, thank you for that. So our staff does check in with applicants regularly in situations like this where we have a project that is potentially going to be continued to a date uncertain, just to make sure that, you know, we're all on the same page about, you know, whether or not the project's moving forward and how things are going with the outreach. You know, we all wanna be prepared if this does come back to the commission. So in an event where there's an extended period of time where, you know, we don't hear back from the applicant and we're checking in and we're not hearing back, you know, we would at some point issue, you know, typically a letter just saying, you know, if we don't hear from you within usually 30 days, we're gonna move to expire the application. We recognize that, you know, we need some certainty in these things about whether things are gonna move forward or not. So we do try to push that as best we can as staff. Thank you. So, so just for clarification, obviously we're not taking any action on this item. The only item is to continue this to a non-date certain and for the public that's here, anyone within 300 feet will get re-noticed. Will that, will that actually happen? That's correct. A new notice will go out once we've scheduled this for a later planning commission hearing. Okay. Perfect. Let me ask one more to clarify. Is it actually being continued to an unknown time or is it being taken off calendar, subsequently being placed back on? Does that make any sense? It does to me. So at least from our perspective as staff, those two are synonymous with each other. Okay. Commissioner Burstyn? Okay. With, with, with that item, I'll open up to the public. If anybody, I have, I do have two comment cards, but anybody, Oh, if you want to bring that forward. Anybody who still wishes to speak on this item is more than welcome to come up and speak for five minutes. But also just to understand, we are not taking any action on this item. Tonight formally off of an approval or not. You will get renoticed and there will be another, you know, if the app, it sounds like if the applicant does, thank you. If the applicant does go forward, everyone will be renoticed and there will be a, at that next meeting, the public will go to, anybody in the public will go to come and speak either for or against the project. So with that, Wayne Fry, Wayne Fry, Fryman. Yep. Can you, can you, you have, state your name for the record and you have five minutes. Yes. My name is Wayne Freeman. Freeman. Sorry. E I M A N. Sorry about the spelling. I inherited the name. I didn't make it. I'm not used to speaking to a group like this. I was a college teacher for 35 years looking at a group of students, frightened at looking at me and I'm used to looking at a blackboard behind me cause I'm really old with chalk and then eventually it became a whiteboard. So here I am speaking to you. I live across the street. My wife and I live physically across the street from the divorce who are requesting this conditional use permit. And we are here with multiple neighbors who are not thrilled with the concept of having a dog kennel in our neighborhood. I emailed all of you a piece of paper and I'm not sure if you had the time to read it. And I don't normally do this because I'm used to just speaking off the cuff because that was what I did in the classroom. But I'm going to kind of skim through what I sent to you to speed up what I want you to hear and what I want to say. My wife and I have been in our house for 51 years. We are one of three people in the neighborhood. Jim is one of them who have been in this same street for 51 years. I cannot accept the need to have a business to be started in my, in a residential home across from my house. In fact, I don't understand the need for any business to be allowed in any residential neighborhood in Yorba Linda. This would be a precedent that is wrong. The request for this conditional use permit is from a company, not necessarily a person. This is from a company with the owner of that company living at the address listed on the request for the conditional use permit. I suggest if you have time, some time to go to your computer and enter Falco Dog Training Orange County. That is the owner's name of the company. Now the Falco confuses me because there was a Falco Enterprises from a person who was affiliated with the Anaheim Police Department training dogs. And don't ask me why the name Falco is tied to this company, whether there was anything between these two companies or that he worked for Falco Enterprise. I don't know. But if you go to the computer and you look at his website and you enter Falco Dog Training Orange County, there's a bullet point that says meet the team. So meeting the team is Zach DeVore, owner, head trainer. That's our neighbor across the street now. Then there's a person by the name of Gabby. She's a lead trainer. Then there is a woman by the name of Alisa. She's a trainer and a kennel technician. Then there is Brianna. She is a kennel technician. And then there is Amanda. She is a kennel technician. Then there is Cindy DeVore. That is his mother. And then there's Haley DeVore, the office manager, his wife. There's no question that the mother and the wife are part of a family. And a family as far as having a business in the city of Yorba Linda that's a residential business, according to what I read in the fine print of Yorba Linda. I don't even know what you call the piece of paper that's online. But there are four people here. Just so you know, you have one minute left to speak. So there are four people that are employees. I'm not thrilled with the concept of having an employee that's part of a business. Also, if you go to the website, you will find out that he's running a training session in Brea two days a week. He's running a training session for, now this is not the dogs that are in the kennel. These are other dogs. And a training session in city of Tustin. Now, if he ends up with this house and a lawn and a kennel, do you think that he's going to want to drive to Brea to do a training session if he couldn't do it in his own front yard? Or drive to Tustin if he couldn't do the training in his own front yard? That's it. Thank you very much. Next is Brian Walters. State my name? Yes, please. My name is Brian Walters. I'm a 10-year resident of Yorba Linda. Thank you for the opportunity to speak. And thank you for bringing the question up around this continuance. We would like to see this come to a close. I'm here to respectfully oppose this conditional use permit 2026-06 for a dog boarding and training facility. At its core, it's a simple issue. This is a commercial business in a residential neighborhood. Our neighborhood was designed to be lived in with clear expectations around limited traffic, a residential environment free of commercial activity. 13 dogs overnight training operation. It's not a typical home-based activity. It introduces ongoing business operations, customer traffic, and commercial scale. This fundamentally changes the character of our neighborhood. Once this line is crossed, it becomes very difficult to redraw that line. It sets a precedent for potential rezoning protection that should be in place for residential communities. Respectfully, that is not consistent with the intent of residential zoning. It's not what homeowners in our community signed up for. A second concern is the breed of dog that's being housed at the facility or potential facility. We are not discussing ordinary household pets here. The proposal includes training and managing of 13 Belgian Malinois. These are high-drive, intense, protection-capable dogs. Professionally trained. Professional trainers, handlers, call these guys fur missiles. They're magnificent dogs when properly trained. But they are not typical neighborhood pets. This introduces a high level of training, or introducing this high level of training activity into the residential setting raises legitimate concerns around noise, containment, interaction with other pedestrians and kids. We have a number of kids in the neighborhood. And the potential for legal consequence if even one incident occurs. This is not an appropriate setting for this type of activity. Not in our neighborhood. The role of the commission is to ensure capability, or protect the health, the safety, and the welfare of our community. I also want to state respectfully and transparently that if this conditional use permit does get approved, we will appeal it to the city council. Now this is not objection in conflict. It's ironically in protection. Protection of our neighborhood. We want a quiet, peaceful place to live. In closing, it's not opposing dogs. It's not opposing business. It's about location compatibility. Commercial scale dog boarding and training operation in our neighborhood is not in the properly zoned area. This is for a commercial or rural area. I respectfully ask you guys to deny this conditional use permit. And with that, I'd like to formally present a signed neighborhood petition of opposition representing the voices of the residents most impacted by this. So I do have a copy of our petition. Yeah, if you bring it up. Okay. Give it to the minister. And thank you for your time tonight. Thank you. We have another comment card from Thomas. Yeah, it's me. Hi. Yeah, I was going to say exactly the same. You want to? I'm good. Okay. Okay. Just for the record, he is in opposition of the project. Anybody else wish to come up and speak? Please step forward. State your name. You have five minutes. Dr. Cynthia DeVore. Good evening. Thank you guys for listening to me. I also want to thank, he's not here, Director Farnsworth. He's been speaking with Zach and instrumental in helping him work through this process and what he can do next and how he can make certain things work with his neighbors. He does not want to fight with his neighbors. He was very upset that no one came to speak to him and no one has reached out to come to Zach and talk to him directly. I also want to get rid of some misinformation that's going around the neighborhood. There's never going to be nor was there going to be 13 Belgian Malinois on the property. I don't know where that came from. I don't know if they're looking at a website that doesn't exist, a website that might connect the name Falco, but I believe the commissioners actually even acknowledged to Zach that they understand that there are never going to be 13 Belgian Malinois on the property. He doesn't train police dogs. He doesn't train military dogs. He's a pet trainer. He's a pet trainer. And yes, he goes to Tustin. He will continue to go to Tustin. He goes to Brea. He will continue to go to Brea. He has clients in that area. He would not expect clients to come all the way to Yerba Linda when they're used to him going to them. And those are group classes that he teaches in those cities. So I just want to calm everybody down. Zach is following the process. And we just want to thank everyone for their input and how we can get to the next step. Thank you, guys. Have a good evening. Thank you very much. Anybody wish to come up and speak? Please come forward. State your name for the record. Edie Frederick. Oh, sorry. When you get to the microphone, so. And you'll have five minutes. Hi there. D.D. Frederick. I live close but not on their street. And I'm also the president of the Yerba Linda Country Riders. In fact, when they moved in, I was all excited. I know about the barn in their backyard. And I did many drive-bys, but I didn't want to be forceful. But I was hoping to catch them and say, hey, you want to rent out those stalls? Because there's a lack of stalls in Yerba Linda. But that never happened. And the next thing I heard was about this. And I did hear everything that she just said, that it was going to be cop dogs. And so on and so forth. So as you can imagine, as a horse lover, I'm a dog lover. A people lover. I love our city. And I would just say, you know, it's just for the safety of, if it was the police dogs, apparently it wasn't. But anyway, just the safety. I know they have 4-H animals in that area. Sheep, I think, are next door, very close. Imagine one of the dogs jumped the fence. You know, that kind of thing. That would be horrible. But, and then I also looked up some information that there hasn't been any kennel license apparently given since 1970. So I think that, you know, it's not the right place, a commercial business, again, to be in a neighborhood. Like I said, I live close. And I've heard from many of the neighbors. So, you know, if there's some way to, you know, compromise or whatever, obviously that's a great idea. But, you know, hearing it might not be police dogs and whatnot. But other than that, I would just go with safety of the kids, the animals, neighbors, and all of that would be my preference. And, again, with not having kennels since 1970, it doesn't seem like it's real likely to happen. But it's just my two cents. Thank you for listening. Thank you very much. Anybody else wish to speak? No, it's not. But I will. Please state your name for the record. And you have five minutes. I'll be happy to. My name is Ruth Freeman. I live at 17936 Sun Hill Drive in Yorba Linda. I was here at the meeting of May 27th. And you called me first to the podium. Okay. And so, therefore, in the minutes is a bullet point of how it was reviewed, what I said. So I'm not going to reiterate that. But since May 27th, we have learned that that 300-foot radius of map was registered on March 11th. Probably as a part of the conditional use permit. So it's on record. And I've seen it. And in that, in our neighborhood altogether, around our U of Sun Hill, Sun Knoll, Sun View, are 40 homes. Sun Knoll Drive is not impacted because they're not in the 300-foot radius. But other people are. And there are 12 other homes that are on Neff Ranch, Mariposa, even one on Richfield. It's in that radius. I spoke to a man yesterday on Neff Ranch. And he had not been informed. Maybe that's what's happening. But anyway, not one of our neighbors who spoke on May 27th was in favor of this conditional use permit request. Or granting it. Not one. And several of those, one of those in opposition with my neighbor, James Wagner, who's in the room tonight, his daughter, April Tomminelli, spoke on the 27th. And she had given an email to all of you the day before. It is very possible because there was only a 24-hour notice that maybe you didn't read it. But your other member of your panel, of your commission, was Nathaniel Bahuri. And he did read it. And he sent a reply back to all of us, actually. And I would like to quote him, if I could. The planning commission has reviewed, because you had said, excuse me, that you had some questions as a group about what is the precedent here. The planning commission has requested a search of any history of such approvals in the city to see how we've handled these in the past. The research shows that the city has not approved such a business since the time the city was incorporated in the 1970s. Actually, you know, on your logo, it's 1967. My husband and I became a resident in 1975. It appears that the only kennels that were approved were private use for four to five dogs to give them end-of-life care. My position is that we should not approve this business or such businesses, as they are not compatible with residential neighborhoods. They may create noise, odor, danger, or a stray dog. Old businesses may have been grandfathered, but we should not approve new ones. And he stated in his email that he was going to let you know his position. And I know he is in Europe now on vacation. Bless him. There are many things you have on your website that calls this a home occupation. This is not a home occupation because in your minutes last, on the 27th, one of you asked him, is this a business? And Zach DeVore said yes. I have to say something else because this is aside from all of this. I think the realtor involved here has some impact. Not only did she sell the house that the divorce have, but on the other side, two houses down, the house in between belongs to the Lalani's who are in the room tonight. The next one is also sold by the same realtor. And she has one on, listed right now, on the next street. She could solve the whole problem because if indeed she sold the property knowing that it was going to have a request for it to become a business. In all good faith or integrity, she should have said, maybe this isn't the place. If it was going to be an ADU, which we all thought from the beginning, that's a residence, I think we could have accepted that. So what I'm saying is maybe this young couple, bless them, and they have a precious young family, bought the wrong property. If she could help them find another property, sell it, she gets a win-win, and our neighbor can sell his house without contention. But that's an aside. Anyway, neighbors did meet in our home on just the day before Saturday before Father's Day. And again, they are all in opposition. Thank you for hearing me out. Thank you very much. Anybody else wish to come up and speak? Please come forward. State your name for the record, and you have five minutes. Hadi Lalani. And the reason I want to say a few words, I think most of the concerns have been raised. And not a single neighbor is in favor of this business. I am next door to Devor. I live at 17947. We've been living there for 15 years. We had the best of the houses, and we enjoyed this neighborhood extremely well. We do not want our lives to be interrupted. And have to bother about the neighbors all the time. A couple of topics came to my mind about reaching out. That was agreed in the last meeting on 27th. I'm the next door neighbor. I haven't seen my neighbor since then. Prior to the last meeting, they did invite us for the dinner. Like a couple of days before. And I had pre-scheduled meeting, which I could not cancel. So I just want to make a point that not a single neighbor who lives in this area has cordial relationship in this aspect. Devor are nice people. I met them. They're wonderful two kids. Nice couple. We welcome them in our neighborhood. But I don't think so. We want to live next to a business, which is going to just make our life miserable. Excuse my word. But that's what we all agree. That it is just going to create unnecessary turbulation in this neighborhood and between the neighbors. So I strongly, strongly, strongly I'm against this permit. Thank you. Thank you very much. Anybody else? Please state your name. You have five minutes. It's a short timer here. I've been here 35 years. But I live three doors down. And when we moved in in 91, we had a kennel two doors down. And I still recall that on July 4th, we had all our friends and family over. And it was a horror story with all the flies created by the kennel at that time. It was absolutely like you were living on a farm. It was disgusting. And this went on for years. And they had a permit at the time for six dogs. But we suspect there was a lot more than that at the time. But it fell on deaf ears when we complained to the city. And we had to live with it for quite a few years. So I object to it on a lot of different levels. I agree with almost all the objections, you know, with the increased traffic, because we do have grandkids that come over. And, in fact, my daughter has two of these dogs, which we're babysitting right now. And I can tell you, they are high-strung dogs. My wife literally has to go over there and spend the night, which she's going to do tonight. And she's disabled, but she's going to do it, you know. Because the dogs, and they've been through training, proper training. My daughter insisted that they be properly trained with the whole family. And that brings up another thing. Like, it's not just one-on-one when you're training these dogs. If you have a family that's going to take these dogs, you have to train the whole family to be in the pecking order. So my daughter, her husband, and my two grandsons, they all had to be trained how to handle these dogs. And it's constant. They're amazing animals, but they do require constant supervision. That's all I've got to say. Thank you. Thank you very much. Sir, real quick. Could I, sir? Could I just ask your name for the record? I apologize. I didn't catch it. Of course, Barnett. Thank you very much. Anybody else? Okay. Seeing no more people want to speak, I'll bring you back to the commission. I think where we stand, there's probably not much to discuss because we'll have another opportunity. In a hearing, assuming the applicant brings it back to discuss this and hear from the public, taking in, obviously, this meeting's comments as well as the previous one. So I'd be looking for a motion to a continuance to an uncertain date. Can we ask staff a question before we do that, relevant to this? We're going to have to wait until the next time. No. You can ask. Okay. Go. I heard some comments from them, and I think I did. I know the zoning on this may permit a family business. Is there a definition of a family business being a family, or is it just a business that kind of looks like that? Because of the comments that there were four employees who weren't family members, does that still qualify as a family business? Or can it? Yeah, thank you for that question. When I think of the code, it doesn't typically get into specifics about defining what a family business is. Within the context of a residential zone and a neighborhood, we do have a home occupation permit process, which is typically used for a home-based business. Typically, it's an office-related use. But these types of applications that the code does recognize could have a higher impact on a neighborhood is the main reason why this conditional use permit is required. So that it is discretionary. It allows the commission to evaluate it on a case-by-case basis and make a decision on that versus a home occupation for a smaller operation that you wouldn't recognize. It's even being run out of a residence. Thank you. Chris, my only question I have, I called you earlier in the week to just talk a little bit about the candles in general, but do we have an understanding of how many business licenses we have within the city? I know some of the residents brought up that the last one was issued back in the 70s. Has there been any more? And I know I think per our conversation, we discussed that the candles that are existing predate the city's, not the ordinance, but when it was incorporated into a city. So some of those things were before that. And also, these candles are more in a different type of a neighborhood than a single family. Is that correct? Yeah, that's generally correct. And just so the commission is aware, we have some high-level knowledge on the other kennels that are operating within the city. We didn't want to do a deep dive into it until we had some certainty about how this application was going to move forward or not move forward. So, you know, we do have information on, I would say, about seven other kennels that most of them are older, either dating back to the 70s or predating the city's incorporation that was permitted under the county. But the context of those kennels are often such where, you know, they're located along, you know, one example I like to use is Vin John's Kennel, which even though the property might be designated or zoned as residential, at that location, it presents a lot more like a commercial location along a main highway. There's another one right around the corner from here at City Hall that is similarly presenting as a commercial location with frontage along a main street. You know, much different than the context of this particular application. But when and if this does come back, we will have some more detailed information as the commission requested. Yeah, we should, you know, if it does come forward, I think it would be good for us to understand have there been any noise complaints, what are some of the complaints they received, how are they operating, those kinds of things, I think will be beneficial just for context as we, if they do come back, if we want to review it and evaluate it more holistically. We can do that. Perfect. Thank you. Mr. Bernstein, anything? Good. Okay. Do we have a motion? I move to continue. Is that the... the request, the continuance? To... To... Indefinite. To date uncertain. Date uncertain. Okay. Do we have a second? I'll second it with the understanding that that language means also or similar to off calendar until reset. So if that's the understanding of the language... Yes. And a new notice will go out to the community when anything gets scheduled. Okay. Can we take a vote? Motion moves forward to zero with Commissioner Bahura absent. Okay. Thank you. Moving on, item number 10, Director's Report. Yes. So I do have a few items to pass along as we get into the 4th of July holiday that's coming up. There's a series of events that I just want to, you know, mention to the commission. So you should have received an email from the Richard Nixon Foundation about a kickoff event that they're holding on June 29th. The entire commission has been invited to go to the commission. And also serve as a sendoff for the Marine One helicopter. Sounds like it'll be a neat event. So if any of you are interested in attending, please reach out to Nicole for an RSVP so we can let them know how many from the city are planning to attend. So that's exciting. So that's exciting. And it's meant to really be a celebration of the 250th anniversary of the country's founding. So that'll be at 10 o'clock on July 1st. And, and again, we'd invite everyone to be a part of that. Moving along to the actual holiday, July 4th. You all know the city hosts a wonderful event. And we do have parking passes that can be made available to anyone on the commission that would like to attend. In order to obtain those, you do need to email the parks and rec department. And from what I've heard, it's going all digital this year. So if you're interested in that, let's shoot an email to parks and rec. Looking ahead on the planning commission calendar, we are recommending that the July 8th meeting be canceled. Primarily due to a lack of items. So, um, in closing for this evening, I would look to the commission to adjourn to July 22nd. And that concludes my comments. Thank you. Okay. What else is on here? Commissioner comments. Start over here. Anything? Got nothing. Um, I just wanted to share that, um, good design matters as we look at architectural aesthetics overall. And, um, you know, I struggle when I see some of these projects, uh, just, just as an architect and just looking at the overall aesthetics, how it fits within the overall fabric. So it's always a challenge. Um, you know, I, this is an example where I felt like they, they do have an architect on some of the other projects that we've seen before. Uh, they've had a designer that's not necessarily an architect. So, um, there's a different level of expectations, but it's, it's always hard because, you know, from a, from a addition and all the things that they want to do. I'm totally for it. Um, but it, it, it usually comes to design as a whole. We don't necessarily have a say, much of a say, but I do believe that design matters. So I just wanted to share that with my fellow commissioners. I think your comments was great and helpful to me. Yeah, no, I, I, I don't see what you see as well. Yeah. You didn't see that. Yeah. I do. I do think, I do think on kind of where you were going at with it. And that's what the applicant want. I, I think, I think there's a certain areas. I think you let it go in certain areas. Yeah. It doesn't. Right. And I, I like just on that item, I felt personally where that's located. Mm-hmm. That's a little bit different, larger lot. Um, you know, and then it gets into the thing where, where I always like to say, I'm, I'm pro property rights. Right. Someone buys, you know what I mean? But it's, you know, so it's, it's always a tough, tough, tough. And I, I mean, I did, I did like the fact that it's set back quite a bit. There's some mature landscapes that help. You know, if it wasn't like you, you were saying, if it's an attractive element and we're seeing that, you know, I, I mentioned to Chris and Gabe when I spoke to him, I was like, I feel like I'm walking into someone like a doctor's office, like a dentist's office or something like that. It doesn't feel like a residence. But I, you know, it's subjective, right? It's subjective. And, um, as we look at the overall design, I think. It looked pretty institutional. I mean, it did. Yeah. I thought. Yeah. But I don't want that real modern stuff. And yeah. Well, also to the rendering had no end scheme. So you couldn't, or, you know what I mean? So. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, so. Anyhow, my two cents. Perfect. Any other? No. My only comment is I hope everyone has a great, a great 4th of July. Okay. Thank you. Likewise. And correspondence received, uh, we received the one from the applicant on the, on the public hearing. And did we receive a, from Mr. Freeman, did we receive email correspondence? I think we got that email a while ago. Is what I recollect. It might've been part of the first hearing. Yeah. I think so. Okay. And if I can just comment on that, um, I do read all the things that come through. Perhaps I miss one once in a while, but I'm pretty diligent about it. I think my colleagues are as well. But if the correspondence doesn't request an answer or ask a question, I don't feel the need to say, yes, I read your email. So the assumption that we didn't read their emails in my case is incorrect. So I just think we might help the public know that, you know, we do read the emails just because you don't get a like, Hey, I got it. And I have an opinion that we're tracking. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I don't respond to them. But I read them. Yeah. Cause it's, in a way it's not fair to respond to the email. You, and you know what I mean? You need, we come here, we listen to both sides and then we make. A hundred percent. Best judgment. And I think that's, that's my approach. I mean, I like to just hear the, the story first. You know, we get the feedback, we read it. Okay. Thank you. And, but we're not, personally, I'm not responding. I usually wait until we have that, the hearing. Yep. Yep. Also for the record, most of these items actually visit. Mm hmm. Um, I know, I know, I know for awhile there, we gotten to a point where everyone would say if they visited this. I don't know. I don't know if there's a reason we need to do that or not, but I mean, most, most these items, you know, I do drive by and look, but as I'm sure my other commissioners do as well, but do we need to start pointing that out more or? I don't, I don't believe so at this point. I mean, if there's consensus that that is the standard practice that typically happens, Yeah. Um, I, I think that's fine. Okay. Of course I have a comment on that one too. I mean, I think, I think it can really settle the public or confirm for the public that we're doing the work. Yeah. So I think stating it is actually a good thing personally, even if it's not required. And sometimes like I, I use technology a lot. I will Google earth first and see, and sometimes it's like, you know, I can't see this. Like you, you got to dry some of them. You can't see where things are. And then sometimes when you, they're in person, you see all kinds of other stuff. So. Well, in the meetings I go on Google earth and actually put the little person there. I can't. Yeah. You can. You can. Okay. I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I do that all like this one again. I went back and looked at it, looked at the, so, so you, you can do that here. So. That's good to know. Yeah. We find the old minutes and I found last meetings. Can we go back three or four meetings and read our minutes? Are they? You got to go on the web. You got to, go to the, go to the website, planning commission, past meetings, everything's there. Okay. I have one more question. Uh-oh. Rules. I had someone call me. I had someone call me. No. I had someone call me and they said, I know you guys approved, you know, the one project on Nerva Linda. And they said, can I, do you know where I get an application or how I apply or how I get the readiness to get one of those condos here? And I said, I have no idea, but it's okay to give them the name of the developer, right? Because that's the public knowledge already, right? So I can say the builder's name under the app is X. If you want to call them, you can. That's okay? Or is that not okay? Yeah. So we have been getting calls recently about the Messiah Lutheran housing project that was approved early in the year. They recently wrapped up an affordable housing agreement. And within that, there's provisions about how they're supposed to go about offering the affordable units. And so essentially the developer is responsible for administrating that process, not the city. So we've reached out to them to try to get a lead contact that we can refer people to because we have been getting calls about how do I get on the waiting list or the lottery list for those units. So if the commission were to receive calls, I don't see a problem referring them to the developer as they're the ones that are administrating that process. Typically, any call or email I get, all I do is send them to the city, to the community development department. You could also refer them to staff as well. Yes. Yeah. I don't say made. I just say them. Just know we're going to be referring them to the developer in any way at that point. Okay. Well, with that, I will adjourn to the next planning commission meeting, which is scheduled for, hold on. Do we need to take a vote to not have the July 8th meeting? Because we're going to, or can I just adjourn to the July 22nd? No. It's legal counsel. We can adjourn to July 22nd. Okay. So we will adjourn to the next planning commission scheduled for July 22nd, 2026 beginning at 6:00 PM. Thank you. 6:30. 6:00. Sorry for the 6:30. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

One nation. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. county emergency management organization large animal evacuation and sheltering committee and i do that because my passion of horses i'm a horse owner i live in tropego canyon uh it'll be my fifth year here in emergency management and we have a large as we all know and realize and hopefully support large equestrian community here in urba linda and so that being said i got the chance to meet probably our biggest flag carrier dd friedrich when i first started pulled my horse up we took trail ride and learned about the trail system in your bill and have been supporting them ever since and with partners like uh council member uh campbell and others uh at the city and county level we've finally been successful helping to fulfill this gap in long -term regional uh county-wide efforts with support now from the state through different programs to support our equestrians the time of emergencies wildfire and other emergencies that might cause for an evacuation scenario so just this morning i attended the uh the county's mass care and shelter committee meeting in irvine and part of the standing subcommittee that i chair is the large animal evacuation and shelter subcommittee of that and we discussed the updates our friends and contractors from occr animal care here in orange county and the county's community uh and the county's community uh and the family members of the community and the community and their rep who's been heavily involved with this uh forward-leaning progress of this program uh was there and we shared uh she shared the update with the mass care and shelter folks and it involved um um the oak heart now the orange county animal response team is a 501c3 uh chaired by two spectacular individuals one being uh dd friedrich from our urbalinda uh community and then uh bill who owns the el rodeo stables and brea our closest arguably uh neighbors who have horses so that being said is uh he had a standing 501c that he jumped in and said this will be the old card they uh sent the letters out to the whole orange county equestrian community who really really stepped forward and said yes a lot of those folks myself included were part of the tan juan capastrano's effort several years ago that kind of have petered out over the years and left this gap that the county then recognized in the support of our leaders that we need to refill and re-examine this because we're a very very small county but the equestrian folks treat these animals like i do as well as a horse owner like our pets and pets are federally and state mandated to be in all evacuation plans why isn't some consideration for large animals including especially especially horses uh so that being said we meet every uh we bi-monthly and we always make sure that's a talking point about where we are with that so in terms of conclusion we have our second training we just had our second turning about four weeks ago and i i'm up there volunteering myself on a saturday uh the last two times they've had training to help teach backing skills trailer hookup skills that type of thing and each training has 50 plus volunteers showing up so it's well over 100 folks now signed up and registered through the 501 c3 uh and the leadership there is working with the county through uh emergency management the sheriff's department uh fire authority and with animal care uh and uh bill up in uh el rodeo stables in uh in in brea and all the hard work they've done and the the excitement and i'm sure um uh captain wigginton who was there at the first training would recognize the excitement she expressed to me the enthusiasm of those volunteers right uh and even our uh chief morgan stern as well uh supported the first training and saw how many really good folks that are up there equestrians are all good folks in my opinion but very dedicated volunteers the second training a few folks that stepped up as leadership i'll leave you with this are buying their own equipment they're buying satellite phones radios for the cause they really want to be involved so it's a five-year effort from my perspective shaking the tree of bureaucracy to see something happening and i'm super proud to say that being a uh an uh resident of unincorporated orange county and and a worker here in your belinda that we're all a much safer community as equestrians knowing we have a great firm plan that's only growing and growing so uh i want to make sure i give that update to the council and uh prepare for any questions if you have them uh thank you for your uh report uh colleagues any any questions no i just want to thank you for uh working in uh such close collaboration with our community and our equestrian community dd thank you for your time and effort i didn't see dd i apologize so we uh we appreciate that spirit of collaboration to this is this is part of why uh your belinda continues to be one of the safest cities in the nation so we appreciate it thank you thank you okay we're getting down to that uh the countdown uh to uh the 250th anniversary of our country it's very exciting our next presentation is recognizing that uh signing of the declaration of of independence at this time i'd like to ask joe joellen chatham to please uh come forward uh representing the usa 250 orange county co-chair uh we have a special um uh recognition for our our wonderful country and we want to thank you for all that you're doing uh i had a chance to chat with you at the civics b earlier this year and kind of talking about different ideas uh for uh how do we you know best um celebrate uh our wonderful country and uh kind of ran with the idea that we talked about and having uh our liberty tree uh ceremony on july 1st so we're excited about that thank you for all you're doing to kind of share those great ideas across orange county uh and with that uh i'm just gonna run through a few where as is and then ask if you say a few words okay uh so uh friends whereas uh july 4th 2026 will be the 250th anniversary of the signing of the declaration of independence and the birth of the united states and the united states was founded on the revolutionary principles proclaimed in the declaration that we are all created equal and endowed with unalienable rights and that government is based on the consent of the people it is right and proper that the citizens and residents of yorba linda and orange county should be encouraged to commemorate and celebrate the historical ideals and aspirations embodied in the declaration and to reflect on the origin of orange county its history and contributions to the development of california and the united states and the 250th anniversary celebration provides a community-wide effort to equip our citizens and residents to engage in the civic life of their community and to listen and to learn from our history and each other to make a lasting impact for generations to come therefore i carlos rodriguez mayor of yorba linda along with my council colleagues mayor pro tem peggy wong council member tara campbell council member janice slim and council member shav inder singh do hereby recognize that the city of yorba linda hereby recognizes july 1st. july 4th 2026 that's a 250th anniversary of the foundation of our great nation celebrating two and a half centuries of the land of liberty freedom innovation and unlimited potential and that's the beauty of america we have local communities where people choose their elected officials make their own decisions for their own cities and their own and that's one of the great nation of our country and that 's one of the great nation of our country and that's the beauty of america we have local communities where people choose their elected officials and that's one of the greatnesses of our country this 250th anniversary we've only done this five times the first time was on july 4th 50 years after the declaration of independence was signed and its author thomas jefferson died on that day which was amazing then we had 50 years after that which was the centennial 100 years then 1926 and then the bicentennial 50 years ago and now we're here at number five we've been here for 250 years um it's important that we remember the declaration i wear this this little badge this was um actually 100 years old this is from the 150th anniversary back in 1926 and the reason i wear it is because i think silent cow the president of the united states in 1926 didn't say much that's why it's called silent cow but when he did say something it meant something and i have never heard a better explanation of why the declaration is important than his j uly 4th 1926 speech and i'll just read this portion of it it said you know we're all looking for new ideas we say what what they did 200 years ago 250 years ago it's not that important we need to update we need to be more modern he didn't agree here's what he said if all men are created equal that's final if they are endowed with inalien able rights that's final if governments derive their just powers from the scent of the governed that is final no advance no progress can be made beyond these propositions if anyone wishes to deny their soundness or their truth the only direction they can go historically is not forward but backward backward to the time when there was no equality there was no right of the individual and there was no rule of the people those who wish to proceed in that direction cannot lay claim to progress they are reactionary i think that is such a great truth and then he said if there's any failure in respect to any of these principles it's because the failure of us as citizens to observe them and with usa 250 we've taken from the very beginning a simple statement that a friend of mine who's an immigrant to this country said to me about 10 years ago he said america is the perfect idea the united states of america is a work in progress in other words those principles that silent cal referred to that are in the declaration that's the gold standard and if we don't live up to it that 's our fault and as a country we have progressed we got through slavery we got through giving women the right to vote and equality under the law we got through the civil rights era are we perfect no but in every one of those eras we advanced and whether it was frederick douglas or abraham lincoln or susan b anthony or martin luther king every time they got in these discussions and were fighting for new rights they founded their arguments on the declaration of independence so it's not old- fashioned it's as good as it was 250 years ago and i am so pleased that you're belinda you're just one of the great patriotic cities and you're planting the liberty tree is a wonderful thing that'll grow for years and i brought each of you a present this is our christmas tree ornament and i gave them to the assistant city clerk and i'll give for this last one this one is for you mayor but thank you for your patriotism for your community service and for all that you do for the people of your bel inda thank you mayor sorry oh yes i hate to bring joe ellen back up and i hate to put her on the spot but there's also a lot of events that usa 250 orange county has been doing to promote uh civic literacy and just the cell in celebration of the the anniversary but hopefully an opportunity for us to come together as a community to learn more about it and and and talk about it so where can people go to see those events and i don't know if you want to talk about i know our local part of history here with the nixon library might be hosting a very special event coming up and i don't know if you want to tease that a little bit so our community can be on the lookout for that coming up thank you for asking first of all our website is really robust um it beats the national website by a mile and the state website and it's just usa 250-oc.com there are a lot of resources we'd love people to look at it and it's in five languages and it covers most of the people in orange county um and we have done a number of events with the richard nixon library because it's such an iconic place i mean whether you're republican or democrat these things don't matter for this type of thing but it's an iconic place we've held a number of events there where we've looked at forgotten founders we had a great afternoon with ben and george george washington and benjamin franklin c-span covered it we recently did we did an event last year which was fantastic on the constitution c-span covered that one but the event that i think you're referring to is on july 8th july 8th was the first time the declaration of independence was read publicly they voted on it on july 4th but it had to go to the printer and all of that and it was read on july 8th in philadelphia colonel nixon read it and hawaii 250 came up with a great idea that americans all across the country should read the declaration together publicly at the same time as it would have been the time in phil adelphia well we're lucky because that's three o'clock in the afternoon it's not like another time zone and we'll be doing that at the nixon library it will be open to public it will be free and we'll have different members of the community reading different segments of the declaration it 's going to be very special and your boss supervisor don wagner is the honorary chair of usa 250 oc and we're very proud that the other supervisors all four of them are co-chairs of usa 250 oc thank you mary i just wanted people to get excited about july 8th coming up absolutely happy to host this county-wide celebration here in york belinda so it's fantastic not a surprise that supervisor w agner would be uh chairing that so uh i'll just say uh we are you know continuing to try to do all we can to celebrate uh this wonderful occasion uh you know i did i did do my best uh to reach out to dana white uh see if we can get uh some ufc on our fourth of july uh pete mentioned we couldn 't get through but he did he did mention we're gonna have one of the best fourth of july we've ever had here uh coming up so you want to make sure you uh don't miss that so i don't think they were reading too much of the declaration at that right no no but uh at least they weren't fighting over it yeah all kidding aside thank you and uh we'd be delighted to take a quick photo with you well thank you for the city perfect ready one two three okay thank you thank you so thank you so i think this is the most important part of our meeting tonight and i want to i want to i want to say that it's kind of mixed feelings uh as we take a moment to recognize susan lamp and her retirement uh very excited for susan and her family uh well-deserved retirement but selfishly i think we all are like oh so ready so soon uh so we'll get into uh a lot of that here in just a moment but uh it it's really my honor uh to recognize uh susan uh for her uh distinguished tenure here at the city of yorba linda and so i don't want to mess it up so i 'm gonna i'm gonna read some words and then i'll go back off off script and then i'll go back off off script in just a second uh again uh we're really excited to recognize susan lamp the executive assistant on her retirement uh susan was hired at the city of yorba linda park and rex recreation department back in february 11 2008 as an account clerk and quickly becoming an essential part of the team and that's always been the case wherever she's been involved within the city an essential part of the team on december 10 2012 susan was promoted to administrative secretary in recognition of her dedication her professionalism and strong worth that work ethic she continued to demonstrate exceptional service and commitment to the city and on january 30th 2017 she was promoted to executive assistant where she served under multiple city manager managers well not that many just two with reliability discretion and care and that's that is true i mean that is really true reliability discretion and care those are three appropriate descriptions of you susan for sure throughout her 18 years of service susan took great pride in her work and in the many projects she completed consistently approaching each task with attention to detail thoughtfulness and a desire to support those around her as one of the city's most experienced veteran employees sus an has been an integral part of the organization providing steadfast support leadership and a constant willingness to help making her an invaluable invaluable staff member co-worker and friend so after 18 years of dedicated service susan leaves behind a meaningful legacy of kindness teamwork institutional knowledge and a commitment to the city of yorba linda thank you for leaving an indelible mark uh throughout the years you were going to be really missed and i hope to see you around uh town here you could make us all jealous on the things you're doing now that you're in retirement we also have certificates uh from the offices offices of uh congresswoman young kim and senators stephen choy and kelly siar toe and assembly man philip chen and of course our wonderful supervisor don wagner and i would like to ask you to come up so we can embarrass you a little bit and ask one of the many city managers you worked under uh peter grant with a nice wardrobe change here to say a few words all right there you go i'll give it to brian on the way out that's awesome where do you get that merch that is a really nice i wish i could have found it in a local business sorry colleen but it's from amazon and it says i heart lamp uh brooke tamblin is the anchorman reference for anyone who can't see it it was just the other day that i i made a joke to susan that i hadn't heard enough people make that joke to her and it occurred me to snap this up for tonight i've only had and she wants me to talk as long as possible because she doesn't want to talk exactly but i've only had the pleasure of working with susan for about nine months in fact i think it's nine months exactly but i would not have survived those nine months without her being a new city manager you really need someone to look after you and keep you from stepping on landmines and opening doors behind which there are monsters and she's done a fantastic job of that and i will really really miss her but it has been remarkably heartwarming and speaks to susan the constant flow of employees who have been through her workspace since we announced her retirement sad for themselves but happy for her the folks that have come here tonight to gather and celebrate susan's career her old boss came back to a council meeting which for city managers is sort of verboten it's like a vampire walking into a church or something so i'm sure it's a different view but the uh i think that's really the legacy that you see someone like susan leave behind it's not so much the work that they've done or the projects that they've completed for a city it's the relationships that they've built and especially for residents of the towns that they work for how much of themselves they pour in to work how hard it is to go home and turn the job off but how extra rewarding the contributions that you make to taking care of your community are and so our heartfelt congratulations to susan we look forward to celebrating her more on thursday before we send her home to brian who's been so patient i knew i was in trouble when i first met brian and learned that he'd already retired so congratulations susan thank you thank you so i have always wanted to say this so i have to start off by saying as a 28 year resident and also as an 18 year employee of the land of gracious living i've had the privilege of working with dedicated elected officials some extremely talented employees and staff members and community members who care very deeply about the city and are very committed to the city but i want to thank you the mayor and council members because you made my job super easy and i've worked with fabulous councils over the past nine years back in the city manager's office and two really great city managers so it is hard to leave because p ete's absolutely fabulous you know too so but it's time for me to move on and i'll miss my colleagues and thank you so much for your friendship and teamwork um i've made some lifelong friends here they 're in the audience i'm very surprised to see them tonight um and i want to thank brian and my two sons r iley and andrew for always supporting me um i went from a stay-at-home mom to a working mom and they were always behind me and retirement is just the beginning of a new adventure um and i hope to have a lot of those and pete you almost made me cry but wait there's more but wait there's more all right so colleagues uh unless you have any other comments we're gonna come on down we have a few goodies for you okay all right mayor rodriguez may i thank you i needed to ask that um and susan i have to apologize i am representing orange county supervisor don wagner

through my mind so i automatically put parks and recreation i will correct it i will correct it and make sure i get the correct title i apologize um i had the opportunity to work with susan when she was in parks and recreation when i was with southern cal ifornia edison and joellen was my boss at edison so this is old home week for me too um but really um supervisor wagner is always delighted to

healthy retirement and i want to see you finish getting through that entire bucket list and thank you again for the privilege of working with you and again on behalf of orange county supervisor we're

America Jackson. - That's awesome. All right, thank you. - Congratulations. - Okay, that's a tough one to follow up. We'll do the best we can. We are going to take a moment here for a wildfire update by Orange County Fire Authority. And we are going to ask our division chief, welcome chief, Mike Morgenstern. Welcome. I haven't seen you since our chat over at Cypress during the update on the issues in Garden Grove. So thank you for your efforts there as well as what you do here in Yorba Linda. So good to see you tonight. - Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, city council, city staff, and residents of Yorba Linda. As you know, as we move into off the shoulder season of 20 26 wildfire, we're actually moving into the main part of 2026 wildfire season. And with that, with the Orange County Fire Authority, we're getting prepared for that piece of it. Just a little update on how it goes in the region and also the state. We've had little to no rain in spring and through their summer months, which means we're entering critical fuel moisture weather. Excuse me. Critical fuel moisture status for the region is our one hour grasses or our grasses that you see that are nice and beautiful in the fall and in the springtime are now turning brown, which means they're cured, which means they're ready to burn. As that happens, that is happening now. As we move into July, August, our heavier vegetation in the late July will also start to cure. And that will actually carry the fire from the grass area to our heavy vegetation, which means more burning sustained periods of burning periods, hotter burns and also more rapid rate of spread. Throughout the region, we've had multiple starts. If you have watch duty and you've seen it throughout the state, we've had multiple starts throughout the state. There's actually a fire burning right now in Camp Pendleton . It's roughly six to 800 acres right now off of Camp Pend leton. And we just had one in Riverside, Riverside County with a shore fire. It's still burning right now, but they're getting a good handle on it. All the resources are intact. So we're not in drawdown at this point and this part of the season. The projection for this year is based on the lack of moisture that has continued through the spring and also through the summer events of this. Our potential for large fire growth is going to be good or great as far as that goes. And it'll be pushed with five to 10 mile an hour winds. We won't need the traditional 30 to 40 mile of Santa Ana winds to drive our fires this year up and down the state because of the dry fuel moisture and the critical levels we 're already at within the state. As the summer months heat up, as you know, it's a beautiful time to go outside and be part of the community and be outside in the beautiful sunshine and do swimming and everything else that goes on with summer, but also heightened fires fire danger as well. And being prepared for that is critical to the city of Yor ba Linda and also to the county of Orange. So some of the things that OCFA has done recently and continue to do throughout the year is we're operational ready. All our fire stations, our entire organization is operational ready from our firefighters to our executive staff, to our incident management teams, to our helicopters, our bulldozers, and everything else is ready to go. Everything's been checked. Everything's been ready to move. And we're in preparation for fire season with the support of our board of directors. We also work with our partners in law enforcement doing evacuation drills and reconfirming and reconfirming again the evacuation zones for our residents, where they're going to go, how they're going to be displaced if there's a fire in the area, working tightly with our law enforcement partners to ensure that we have that seamless evacuation of residents and animals during a wildfire event. With our contract counties, we just had a contract county meeting and the guarantee from the state of giving us resources in the Orange County. If there is a fire within Orange County, our Cal Fire partners are ready to help, ready to send resources for as long as we needed. And in turn, we're ready to send resources to them and at moments notice as well. As July 1st of this year, we'll put our first 24 hour dozer in place. Normally we have them on a 10 hour shift, but coming July 1 st, we're going to have to start having 24 hour dozer operations. So we'll have a bulldozer available 24, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days out of the year. That's enhancing our staffing. That's making that dozer available to cut fire breaks and assist firefighters on the ground. Within the county itself, we have 24 wildland cameras. Those cameras are monitored not only by us, but by the sheriff's department as well. And we'll be able to see they're strategically placed throughout the county. So we see initial smoke that comes up and we don't even have to wait for a 911 call. We investigate. We send units out to those areas. If we see visible smoke on our cameras, we get a good Intel . We're able to judge the rate of spread of the fire and also the resources that we'll need to send to these fires. We're lucky in Orange County as well. We have six water point water points in this county. Three of them happen to be in Yorba Linda and with helohyd rants. So the helohydrants are a great resource, especially for the city of Yorba Linda and the county as well. We also have three additional helipods, which are located in the south county. So Yorba Linda with the helohydrants is a great, great model for that. No fire engines are needed. The helicopter comes over clicks open, starts filling and we can start dumping water as fast as possible. The whole goal of this program is to have a water source, no more than five miles by flight for any aircraft that comes in Orange County. And we're working towards that goal and working hardly towards that goal. We've also have a robust drone program. As you guys realize in this world we live in today, drones are apparent and we're using them and their technology to not only, not only be able to help our firefighters on the ground, but also do our mop up procedures. So we don't have a rekindle or we don't have another fire that comes out of a fire that we already had. We put a robust mop up policy in place so we can ensure the Orange County residents that we as the Orange County Fire Authority will make sure when we walk away from this and call fire out, the fire is out. And our drones are a vital part of this finding hotspots, finding embers that normally you wouldn't be able to find using infrared technology. So if you could stand right in front of a bush and not know it, not know it has heat source in it, that drone will come over, it says I had heat source. And we go point by point to find every little heat source within the fire perimeter. And also for the residents in your Belinda is visit us, visit, visit our website, orange county fire authority, OC FA.org and go to ready, set, go. There are tips. There are educational materials. There are things for your home defense. There are, there are items in there that will help you prepare yourself for a wildfire if it approaches your community or in your community tips on evacuation tips on home hardening tips on fire prevention. What you needed to prepare list of items that you need to in case you are evacuated. So visit our website at OCFA.org to get more information and more education. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Let's give him a round of applause. That deserves some great, great work. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. We do appreciate the update from our division chief. And we also, did you have something you wanted to add? I do. Please do. Thanks. Peter asked me last minute to jump in here and summarize some of the local stuff we're doing, make sure we understand the plans, if you guys don't mind. And we'll go through that pretty quickly. But I do want to segue into what we're doing in partnership , right, with what the Orange County Fire Authority, Orange County Sheriff's Department is doing. Work in harmony throughout these systems. The systems he mentioned, the 24-hour wildfire cameras, we have installed in our emergency operations center. In fact, they're on the third screen in my desk every day. I stare at those cameras. We monitor. We have the fire radios we're listening to. We can hear the dispatch calls. It's a very good situational awareness resource in terms of technologies broadest. The application he mentioned was Watch Duty. You can now access those cameras, the general public can, on WatchDuty.com. You can see in here now the briefings, the initial spoke, the cameras profiled. We'll zoom in if you're a wildfire vegetation fire geek like myself. Professionally get paid to be aware of these things all of Orange County. The radio's in the car, radio's in my office, and we listen to it all the time and making sure we're well aware and first aware of any vegetation fires in Orange County. If they're anywhere near Yorba Linda, it gives us first access to any notification. And that's the key point, Mark. I want to make sure that you mention the emergency manager here in Yorba Linda, like most cities, here to support the response. Our footprint is pretty narrow in terms of response when there's a wildfire, our biggest threat, according to our hazard mitigation plan. But it's a main, main, incredible threat. We've all had plenty of historical knowledge of fires during Yorba Linda, right? So that being said, the best thing we can do as a supporter of the operation led by OCFA and OCSD, who handles most of the response piece, is alert and warning to our residents and key and critical and updated and accurate information to our council and to our residents on a timely basis, right? What exactly is going on. So the city under the leadership has invested in that technology, including the cameras, the radio systems, our antennas, and our partnership, the relationships we continue to build, to be well aware and ahead of the game when it comes to being alerted. So we can then afford and have extra time to alert our equ estrian folks and our residents, our schools, our hospitals, et cetera, to make sure they have the best chances of evacuation survival that we can possibly offer. And then, obviously, once those folks land through an evacuation plan that's in our emergency operation particular plan, I'll talk about that in a second, we have the shelter, care , and reception all planned out. And we like to think that we practice that a lot. I would encourage us to continue and look at that all the time to make sure our systems are in place and well practiced. That being said, a quick version, I'm not going to step on Noelle's toes, our contractor here with Michael Baker International, but she supports us in developing these plans. I'll mention quickly, we have three key that are involved in my area of expertise. It's the hazard mitigation plan that identifies and priorit izes the natural and man-made hazards around the city. We take a deep, deep look. We did that about two years ago and wrote a very, very comprehensive plan. And obviously, it should be obvious that wildfires followed a close second as flooding, where two major hazards here in your Bulletin are right and we concentrate greatly. And I look forward to that conversation with Peter about those hazards and where we fell in terms of priorities in the city. Next is our, that was our hazard mitigation plan, our emergency operation plan, is how we, the city, are going to play our roles. It helps identify the roles, the expectations of OCFA, our contractor partners and OCSD. And we all agree ahead of time that we know what our roles are going to be and what those clear expectations are, right, in terms of a response, what that might look like. Our role is narrow. I mentioned before, it's situational awareness. It's clear alert and warning, assistance and support, evacuation support, and then care and shelter once the folks are off the hill, right? And then during the year is public education. I'll mention that in a quick second. And I'll leave the safety element of the general plan, which is the third of our triad of plans for emergency planning for my role. I'll leave that to Noel to talk about when she comes up and discuss the safety element of the general plan that Nate's been working so hard on. So in terms of upcoming events, on the back when you folks walked in, there's a flyer, a little half-page flyer, advertising our upcoming wildfire preparedness community meeting. We have that annually. It's a great time to showcase your blender resources, public safety-wise, in the event of a wildfire, learn about, ready, set, go, all the air programs that we have, and how you too, all the residents, we all can be better prepared for that in case of emergency . Highlight from all of our partners, including Edison, Gas, our horse community through Orange County Animal Care, of course law and fire, our ambulance provider, and generous support from most of the city council folks who come to support my day there. October 1st, the flyers in the back. Before that, in August, late August, I have a community emergency response team training. It's a 20, 22 hour training. It's five nights. And personally, walk the residents through, anyone who's willing to come and listen, haven't seen Todd yet, but walk through their personal emergency preparedness plans. And we build the go kit. We talk about radio communication, all the resources, like walk through the available to them. And we have our public safety partners help teach that. From law enforcement, we had some cadets there last year, look forward to seeing them come back this year. Our fire helps us as well with medical training and that type of thing. So a lot going on. And of course, I make myself available at any time for any more information the council would like or the residents would like, the numbers on the website. We have a very, thanks to Hannah and her communication team , a very, very good website in terms of the city's website, in terms of emergency preparedness. So feel free to advise that before or after you're visiting the OCFA website. So thank you for your time. Thank you for your tag on. Appreciate it. Thank you, Chris. And I do really appreciate the update from our division chief. As I heard the report, which is fantastic to hear how comprehensive our efforts are. And again, that's again, part of why we're one of the safest cities in the nation. I heard our division chief mentioned a little bit about the heli hydrants. So I want to ask Brett Barbary just to, I'm going to do a mayoral audible here and ask him to come on down. He's serving on our water board and Brett has served not only our water board, but Metropolitan Water District also served at our water district and was a big part of bringing that technology. For the benefit of our residents who are here and watching, love to have you share a little bit about that. And then afterwards, I'd like to have our division chief come back because we did want to present a proclamation to you. So don't go too far. Brett. Brett. Brett. Thank you very much, Mr. Mayor, members of the council. It's an honor for me to be up here the same night my mom is , Joe Allen. So I've known Joe Allen. It's just great to be here. Anyways, appreciate the chief's shout out to the heli hyd rants. And that was the result of anyone that was here in 2008 remembers the freeway complex fire. And we had the district suffered a failure at the Camino de Bryant reservoir and booster pump station. And it was decided that would never happen again. So we helped develop the technology here in Yorba Linda. Previous general manager, Mark Marcantonio, worked with the inventor of the heli hydrant. We perfected it. The first one is named after him the Mark Marcantonio heli hydrant went into effect in 2019, 2020. The Blue Ridge fire came. The firefighting helicopter pilots told us cut the turn time down by 50%. And that's quick to get the water onto it. And what it is, it's a tank that's radio controlled. It's the only one radio controlled firefighting. Helicopters can fly over, activate it, fill the tank, and they have unlimited gravity fed water. They lose power. They're still going to get water. So it's been a great tool. So as a result of that, we built our Wells Fargo heli hyd rant further east, a little bit bigger. We added a landing zone so helicopters could land there. We could refuel helicopters. That's been used about eight times in the last couple of years to put out fires before we were able to get out. We could have been able to get out fires before they become big fires. And one way it's so important. In May of 2025, the Sapphire fire broke out in the Chino Hills. Could not be reached by people unless they hiked in, couldn 't get in with trucks. So they activated the heli hydrant. Cal fire came to 28 sorties, put it out. We didn't have to do anything at the district because they went, they filled it up, they dipped, and then they went and emptied it. So it's a great tool. Some of you may remember April of this year up around De emer. There's a big fire and carbon canyon. And we built our third heli hydrant up there, joint venture with Metropolitan. And big landing zone up there. They were refueling helicopters. There were 60 sorties run out of that facility. 46 by OCFA, eight by Cal fire and six by Colson. And that's the big boy that drops about 3000 gallons per drop. So we're really privileged as part of the district and the community to provide that service. Partnership and development with the fire authority, but also it's been great for the community. So we are prepared when it's extra hot, when it's windy, we pre-fill the fire hydrants or the heli hydrants. So as soon as they come, they can start dipping. So, Mr. Mayor, thank you. Well, Director Marbury, what happens if, God forbid, the electricity goes out? Very good question. As you know, we're a very hilly community from 250 feet up to 1390. So we're pumping a lot of water. And so one of the things we started doing is putting in permanent natural gas backup generators at all of our booster pump stations. We have 14 reservoirs, 12 booster pump stations, four of which are in the high fire areas. And we have permanent generators at three of them. And the Elk Mountain was our very first foray. And your help at the AQMD was great. And Peter's wife, Emily, her help at the then gas company was, it was an outstanding team effort. You can go see their names on a plaque outside our Elk Mountain facilities. We believe in thanking those partners. And if you look at the heli hydrants, the fire authorities thanked on everyone as well. In fact, they actually helped grade the Wells Fargo heli hydrant site. So it's been a great partnership. So our community is well served by the partnership between the city, the one of the city, the water district and the fire authority. Thank you, Director Barbary. I appreciate the partnership, the comprehensive nature. I hope our friends and neighbors tonight get an appreciation for how we're working, handing love. And also I hear that we have a future mayor here. That's your grandson. We do. My grandson, Charlie, is here from Washington, D.C. Visiting for a couple of weeks. Welcome, Charlie. Good to have you here tonight. Okay. Well, Grandpa did good, huh? All right. Okay. Thank you, Director Barbary. We're going to ask our division chief to come on back and we're going to highlight a proclamation declaring wildfire awareness and prevention season. Kind of tying into everything we've been talking about today. Just to highlight again, whereas in 2020 California experienced a record breaking wildfire season with over 4 million acres burned across the state in 2024. The state faced 8,000 wildfires that burned approximately over a million acres reflecting a significant increase from the previous year. And whereas the recent wildfires in Los Angeles County, including the Eaton and Palisades fires in early January 25 resulted in at least 29 fatalities and destroyed over 16, 000 structures. I like to call those homes. The economic impact of these fires is profound with tragic death tolls and estimated damages and economic losses reaching up to $250 billion. And whereas every citizen has a key role in preventing destructive wildfires from occurring, public education, like we talked about today, and up-to-date regional emergency planning are key to making our communities more resilient to the impact of the the impacts of wildfire and other extreme weather events. Therefore, be it resolved. I, Carlos Rodriguez, mayor of Yorba Linda and my colleagues , mayor pro-tem Peggy Wong, council members Tara Campbell, Janet Slim and Shavinder Singh, hereby proclaim the height of wildfire season beginning in midsummer and running through early autumn as wildfire awareness and prevention season. I encourage everyone to do their part to raise public awareness, take steps to protect our homes and businesses and prevent sparking a wildfire. One less spark means one less wildfire.

We have a second. Any further discussion? Seeing none, we'll call for the vote, please. Motion passes unanimously. Okay, thank you, colleagues. That will... Mayor, I heard the motion. I think, Janice, you just said approve the impact fee study, so I think that's the first rezo. I know you probably meant everything. Okay, you want to clarify? But just because this is an important thing, maybe get another motion to actually approve the second rezo, which is actually the TIF fee itself. Okay, excuse me for that. So the transportation impact fee study as well as a resolution approving the transportation impact fee update. So thank you. It's good that we have you here. Is it? Okay. Yes, it is. Okay. Is there a second? Being above reproach here. Second. Thank you. We have a motion and a second. And the vote. Motion passes unanimously. Okay. Thank you. We covered all our bases on that one? I think so. Perfect. Okay. So with that, thank you, colleagues. We'll go to our city manager's report and council's report. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Just one quick comment on the speaker, Mr. Tan about code enforcement. As council probably knows, those are reactive code enforcement efforts. On our part, there would have been a neighbor who expressed some concern about trash can storage. And it's, I think kind of obvious, but a fairly common standard around cities that trash cans should be stored outside of street view for neighborhood aesthetics and other reasons. If anyone has got trash cans that they have a hard time fitting in their side yard because some of the carts have gotten pretty big. Republic services customer service can arrange for you to have a smaller cart. But we also have Mr. Tan's contact information from code enforcement. We'll follow up with him to see what options we have to assist him with some of the logistical challenges that he faces at his house. We have a fantastic group in our community preservation code enforcement team that really does, I think the best job I've seen in my career of engaging with neighbors to find win-win solutions to code enforcement issues. Cities don't have particularly good tools to solve for those sorts of issues. So we do it with a lot of guile, a lot of charisma, a lot of charm and a lot of creativity. And Nate's team is really, really good at that. And then in my role as your cruise director, there's a whole lot of good stuff coming up here in early July. We're planting our Liberty trees, you've already heard, once today on July 1st. There is a, as advertised by the mayor, fantastic 250th celebration of America's birthday, fireworks celebration on Veterans Park on July 4th. Our summer concert series starts on Sunday, July 12th. And then, you know, maybe the thing that city staff is most excited about, our regularly scheduled city council meeting on July 7th is not taking place. So the next time that you're scheduled to be together for a regular city council meeting is July 21st. Thank you. Okay, thank you. We'll start with the council member Campbell. Okay. Council member Singh. Thank you, mayor. No reports. I just want to address, I think one of the residents concerns who came and spoke, Mr. Charles, Mr. Tan. Yeah. He used the word, if you can just look into that, the court enforcement threatened him. I'm pretty sure that our court enforcement, you know, sends letters and works very nicely with the neighbors. I just want to make sure if you could look into that a little bit if his statement was exaggerated or was it true statement? Undoubtedly it was. Thank you. That's it, mayor. Thank you. Thank you. Great. Thank you. Council member Lim. Thank you so much, mayor. I know I'll make it really short and sweet. I know we're all talking about America's 250 and I know our 4th of July celebrations coming up too as well. So I just want to wish you guys all a safe and a happy 4th of July. I just want to shout out one more thing. July, between July 3rd and July 5th, the Nixon Library are having special events there and we're going to kick it off actually this weekend on June 20th with the Nixon Title IX run. So please attend that. I just checked this afternoon. They still have some openings. So if you want to do that, that'd be great. And just to let you know, July 3rd at the Nixon Library, they're going to be open from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. So they're going to be open pretty late at night. So thank you so much for that, mayor. Thank you for that update as well. And I'll just start off with a shout out to our amazing library staff. I had a chance to attend the Yorba Linda Library Summer Kickoff Reading Festival. And as advertised, you know, the Star Wars Day was great, but they had some, just a wonderful array of activities for children of all ages. And really was great to see the families out and very excited to be out there playing some carnival games. And they had Curious George there, taking some photos with the kids. So just really appreciate, you know, the kids' crafts, the games, the photo ops. Storytime Theater had, you know, play zone for the little ones. Different, and then Lana Paseo had a variety of games and booths and a lot of great fun. So a lot more, I'm sure, coming up for all of our friends and neighbors out there. And we'll try to be as family friendly as we can here in the land of gracious living. So keep your eye out on some more updates coming up. We're going to have an update from our outstanding captain on e-bikes. So I'll leave that for a little bit later. I want to steal her thunder on that one. And so then I'll move on to a quick, a few quick updates. So our city is partnering with the Orange County Small Business Development Center to host a free small business clinic on Thursday, July 9th. So all of our local entrepreneurs and business owners can sign up for a 30 minute one on one session with experienced small business development center business experts. These appointments can provide guidance on marketing operations, financial strategy and other business needs. It's all a part of our continued efforts to be as supportive of local businesses, success as possible. The clinic will take place at the Yorba Linda community center with appointments available from 4 to 7 PM. Please note that space is limited. So interested business owners are encouraged to register early at Yorba Linda SBDC clinic.eventbrite.com. Just go to the homepage on our website and you'll be able to find it. We're proud to offer this resource to support again, our local business community encourage everyone to shop, dine and support Yorba Linda businesses. As mentioned a few times again, it's worth mentioning again , Yorba Linda will mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with two community celebrations , July 1st at 10 AM at Veterans Park for the city's Liberty Tree Dedication Ceremony. There's about 250 of these dedication ceremonies across the country. So proud to have all of our patriotic colleagues being a part of that. And we'll gather to honor a newly planted oak tree that reflects the enduring ideals of freedom and independence that have guided our nation for nearly two and a half centuries. And then the celebration continues on 4th of July with our 4th of July spectacular starting at 5 PM. Enjoy food, family activities, and we always have great live music. And of course, the best fireworks show there is at 9 PM. And you can enjoy that either at Veterans Park or from Yor ba Linda Middle School. And you can go to our yorba Linda dot CA dot gov website for more information on that. Our Parks and Recreation Department has been hard at work planning free concerts and movies for the whole community to enjoy. So join us after you do the 5K at the Nixon Library commemorating Title IX. Be sure to come out for our, to Hurlis Parton Park for our first movie in the park. One of my favorites, Zootopia II. It's a good one. The movie starts at dusk. Then mark your calendar for July 12th and enjoy live music from Wild Card, a rock and pop band from 5:30 to 7:00. Sounds like a great one. For both events, bring a blanket or lawn chair, grab dinner from a food truck, or dine at any of our awesome restaurants here in Yorba Linda, and settle in for a fun evening with friends, neighbors, and family. So again, friends don't miss these free summer nights in Y orba Linda. And with that, I will move on to our administrative reports . And that is item 24. And that is adopt procedures for recessing and reconvening a city council meeting in the event of disruption. As required by Senate Bill 707. And again, City Manager Grant, I'll let you kick it to him wherever you want to update us on that one. The city attorney will handle this for us. Oh, there he is right there. All right, Todd. So, the legislature last year made a number of changes to the Brown Act, which is the state law that governs how we conduct city council meetings. Beginning July 1st, cities of our size are required to allow two-way communication for council meetings. So, we have to allow Zoom participation like we did in the good old COVID days. As a preliminary to that occurring before July 1st, the city has to adopt a policy as required by the law, and it has to be an administrative report, it can't be on consent calendar, of what the city will do if technology fails. And the law requires that the city take a mandatory minimum one-hour break in the proceedings, try to fix the problem. If the problem is fixed, then they reconvene it one hour later and move forward with the meeting. If it is not fixed, the city council then can adopt a resolution saying that it is important that the meeting be continued and that the council meeting will move forward. Otherwise, the city can adjourn to a new date or to the next regularly scheduled council meeting. The city is required to adopt this policy before July 1st. That is the policy in front of you, which basically mimics the state law requirements that Marcia and I put together. And it is for your consideration, although it is frankly legally required. With that, I am available for any questions. - Do we take any public comment? - Certainly, it's on the agenda. If anybody wants to comment, they're allowed to. - Do we have any cards? - I have no. - Thank you. We'll close public comment then. And colleagues, any questions? - Just have one clarification question, Mayor, if I may. - Yes, please. - It talks about two-way remote participation. If you can elaborate on two-way, is it something we can answer? - Zoom. That's Zoom. Or Teams. Or what other ones are there? I don't know. - That's still one way, right? I mean, we're listening. - No, it's two-way. They can talk to you and they can listen when you talk back to them. - Got it. - Okay. - Thank you. - Mayor, I'll move staff's recommendation. I've been on a couple of committees now which have had to do the same thing. So... - Okay. - I second. - Thank you. Any discussion? Seeing none, we'll call for the vote, please. - Thank you. - Thank you. - Thank you. - Thank you. - Thank you. - Thank you. - So... - Motion passes unanimously. - Thank you, Madam. - I don't mind. - It's just... - Okay, colleagues. Our next topic is item 25 and that is our approval of our 2026-2029 strategic plans goals. And I appreciate the time and thought put into our recent strategic plan session with all of our department heads. I really want to express my appreciation to staff in helping to have a thoughtful and fruitful discussion. And today is that next step in the process and ensuring that we're remaining proactive in delivering, you know, the best possible policies forward for the betterment of our city. So with that, again, I'll turn it over to City Manager Grant. - Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And I would echo your comments on Zootopia, too. It's much, much better than the original. Go watch it. I had a long presentation planned about the strategic plan and I could talk about it for a very long time. But some council members are well over their fourth hour of this evening's meeting. So I'm going to offer everyone an abbreviated version of it and echo the mayor's comments about how important and impactful that day was. You've heard me say it before. You'll hear me say it again. I think having a strategic plan that a city council and their leadership team actively works is the most important thing a city can do to be successful. Coming out of our retreat in May, the city council and executive team developed six goals to guide our upcoming three-year strategic plan that should appear on the screen in just a second. There we go. They revolve around quality of life, public safety, financial stability, economic vitality, community engagement, and ongoing investments in the city's infrastructure. These are very similar to the goals that guided the city council's last strategic plan from 2020 to 2025, and they are pretty consistent with industry standards. Almost every city prioritizes these areas for the investment of staff time and resources above and beyond the work that we do every day to deliver services to residents. And that's one of the challenges that you'll see as you work through your strategic plan over time. You'll have great ideas and great momentum and great enthusiasm behind things that it just takes us a while to get to because we only have so much bandwidth to work on these projects. What we will do procedurally from this point forward, if the city council adopts these goals, is the executive team will develop objectives underneath them. And those are the projects, programs, policies that we'll be working on over the next six months to advance the strategic goal objectives. And we'll be reporting that back to you on a regular basis. If we skip ahead a couple of slides. Or did we not get the slide of the, we have a missing, it's in the staff report. There is a table that shows how we're going to work the strategic plan. Having a plan that only sits on a shelf defeats the purpose of having the plan. There is a great quote from one of the original sort of self-help and business development authors in the 1930s. And there is a great question that says to the effect of you have to work to develop a plan and then you have to work that plan. And if you don't work the plan, nothing comes of it. You will see regular updates every other month from staff as part of the city council agenda on the progress that we 're making accomplishing our objectives. Those objectives will be updated and communicated to the city council every six months as part of the process. And then every year the city council will gather with the executive leadership team to review the goals. Our progress on the objectives, track those key performance metrics, see if anything has changed in our environment. Make sure that we're always keeping one eye on the horizon while we continue to do a world-class job of providing service to our residents. And with that, I'm happy to answer any questions and recommend the six strategic plan goals for your adoption. Thank you. Do we have any cards for public comment? I have not received a card for this item, Mayor. Okay, thank you. We'll go ahead and close public comment. Bring it back, colleagues. Again, I appreciate the time and thought put into this process and welcome any comments you might have. I would just echo and appreciate the time that we spent. It seems like we're probably going through this quickly, but there was a very long and robust discussion amongst all department heads and the five of us that obviously it was public. The community can go back and listen to. So I appreciate the thoughtful discussion that we all took on this. And as much as there are some similar words and phrases from the last strategic plan, I think some key things that I see as different and emphasize this time our innovation as technology has drastically changed so that we can be efficient and effective, really strengthening the city's financial position and investing in our infrastructure at the city, which I know is a priority of all of us among the six goals that we have. So I look forward to seeing the staff's direct objectives for each of these. And that to Pete's point, we're going to really work these because again, there's a lot behind, looks like a lot of words, but there's going to be a lot of action behind these words. So I concur with the six goals and I will move staff's recommendation, mayor. I'll second. Any further discussion? Any further discussion? Okay. Okay. Again, just to add to those comments, I think what was on the screen really is going to be one of the touchstones of everything we do. And we alluded to it briefly last meeting, I think just as we're looking at any key aspect of operations in our city from public safety to our libraries, to how we handle our budget, to any issues that we may see from a technology standpoint, how we 're dealing with AI, how that can increase efficiency in our city and operations. It's the whole spectrum of what we're going to be looking to do as a city to continue to elevate service safety and continuing to be accountable to everyone as we look to not just have this on a shelf, but to revisit it regularly and to track milestones and drive policy on these matters. So looking forward to being able to work with you all on that. With that, I'll also vote to support. Motion passes unanimously. Okay. Thank you. So item 26 is to receive an e-bike education outreach and enforcement update and potentially provide direction and city manager grant. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Coincidentally, this follows the strategic plan on your agenda and I think it offers a great example of how the strategic plan works and helps position us to tackle new and emerging challenges like e-bikes. This is something that we would have created as a strategic plan objective to develop the ordinance. Staff has done that, did it in October, is reporting back to you now. It's a really good example of how the strategic plan keeps us on our toes to anticipate new challenges. This is one I'm excited to hand off to folks. But I also want to take a moment to thank Captain Wiginton, Alison Estes, Natalie Tran, Sergeant Lee, the number of folks who have leaned in to help the community and the city respond to this fast-moving technological challenges. The number of residents who have taken time not just to provide comments or concerns to us, but really partner with us as we've tried to roll out parts of this program. Our partner agencies around the region, including the school district, have all played a part in what we accomplished over the last six months. I think the council will be really, really impressed. I hope the community has noticed the difference. If you've had the opportunity to attend our events, they are done extraordinarily well. And we're really, really proud of them. And we feel like we're headed in the right direction here without any doubt. And with that, I'm going to hand the presentation off to Alison and Deanne. Thank you, Mr. Grant. Good evening, Mayor and members of the council. As city manager Grant had just noted, we're here tonight to provide an update on our city's e-bike education, our community outreach, and our law enforcement efforts. As you can see here, just as a quick overview, back in October of 2025, the city council adopted an e-bike ordinance, really to help address the growing use of e-bikes here in Yorba Linda. We talked about it then, but we really were trying to be proactive in improving public safety around this matter and promote responsible riding amongst our youth. Since the ordinance took effect back in November, we have focused on four key areas. One education, outreach, enforcement, and again, as you'll see in our slides, follow regional collaboration. Tonight, we're going to provide you with a quick update on the progress and really the accomplishments, things we're really proud of over the past six months. We will share our enforcement efforts. And then we plan to return to the city council back in December with a full one-year progress update at that time. On this slide, you'll see a number of community concerns that we've heard from our community. Our efforts have focused on the feedback that we've heard. So before you can see, there's three areas: reckless riding , conflicts with pedestrians and equestrians, and groups of riders, riding on sidewalks and trails, and again, just the ongoing need for greater education and parents and youth on e-bike awareness. Over the past six months, we've implemented a comprehensive education outreach program, really focusing again on prevention awareness and responsible riding. The stats below just give you kind of a snapshot of what we 're really proud of. Our efforts have resulted in direct engagement and education with over 2,500 middle school students. Over 3,000 parents and families have been reached, and we 've had over 10 community events. A key focus of our efforts have been early education amongst middle school youth. So we are very proud. Our sheriff's deputies, along with our SRO deputy Lee, have visited every middle school campus in Norbalinda, including Friends Christian, attended some PE classes to provide e-bike safety presentations. And in total, you can see that number there. We've been able to reach over 2,500 students. Gave a very comprehensive report and update on what we're looking for in the community. We've given them some educational materials. They received a presentation on local laws, safety practices, helmet use. We made sure to include our trail etiquette for our equest rians and responsible riding behavior. And then this was just a great success. And we do plan to come back to the middle schools, including all of our private schools in the fall. Education we've learned doesn't stop with our students. So we've made sure to distribute our e-bike guides and created an e-bike parent FAQ and distributed those to more than 23,000 parents across 35 schools here in Norbalinda. As you can see, there's a few things listed on the screen of our educational materials. So we wanted to make sure that we included all our parent FAQs. We've received a lot of feedback from our pop-ups, our community engagements. So a lot of those FAQs are included from the questions that were asked at those events. Again, identifying e-bikes, what those classifications look like, what are the local regulations here in Norbalinda, and more importantly, how does a parent select a legal e-bike in Norbalinda. We launched our Ready Parents e-bike safety meetings. These opportunities, this gave our community just a really great opportunity for parents to direct, engage, and engage directly with deputies, ask them questions. Really, we try to help them understand both the responsibilities and the risks that really are associated with e-bike ownership. We've completed two meetings and we have another one scheduled in the coming month ahead of summer. We have learned education is most effective when you're pairing it with hands-on experience. So we have created this Ride Your Ready Your Ride event, which combines both classroom style instruction with practical writing exercises. We have given the opportunity for our middle school students and residents. And what's great, we've had a group of either homeschooled youth here in Norbalinda, private school attendees, public school attendees. So we're really trying to hit the masses there. But really try to enforce and educate our safety rules, our local laws. And then second part of this was an actual writing course where they were practicing skills and receiving direct feedback from deputies. So we hosted our first event just before School It Out for the summer. We have another one planned for the summer and then a third scheduled at the start of the school year. You have seen us out and around the community. So we, our hope was to meet riders exactly where they are. So we hosted these pop-up events throughout the community and high traffic areas, community events, engaged with our local sporting groups and other high traffic locations where gathers, where riders usually do gather. Again, just provided another opportunity for more informal conversation, positive engagement, and then again another opportunity to distribute our educational materials. So we've had five events so far and we have several scheduled throughout the course of summer. Something that we're really proud of in addition to our education and enforcement, we've really embraced positive reinforcement in the community. And this is through our Caught Being Good program. So this program will recognize any of our youth riders who are demonstrating safe and responsible riders. So we have our deputies that are engaging with riders who are following the rules, doing things right, and reward them with a gift card by our local businesses. We have worked closely with our community members, our question community, thank you, DD, to identify key trail and high traffic riding locations for safety messages. So you'll see we've, we're all across town. So today we have installed 400 e-bike safety messages. We broke this up into two phases, one before the winter holidays and again prior to summer. So again, this is to reinforce riding, safe behaviors, trail etiquette, and our local law senior Belinda. And again, we continue to evaluate additional locations. So if there's a specific location that you see a sign missing or you have an interest, just contact us and we're happy to put some signs out there for you. After launching our Ride Ready program, we put together a centralized resource hub for all residents. So this is a great time to visit our website. We have a ton of educational materials, printable guides for you, and then a number of safety resources and a schedule of our upcoming events. Just a few capture of some great educational resources that we have put together. Thanks again to staff member Natalie Tran, who helped develop a comprehensive hub of all of these educational materials. So you'll see on here, we put together a comprehensive e- bike guide class systems. So again, people are asking what's the difference between class one, two, and three. Of course, we wanted to encourage our trail users to ride safely and respect those riding on e-bikes and your horses. Where to ride are again, our parent FAQs and then the classification of e-bikes. You'll see by the numbers, we've had a extensive social media campaign. We've been consistent in communicating and that's been an important part of our outreach strategy. Again, we are really trying to engage. So we have an average monthly reach of 27,000 trying to get information out. And these last couple months, we've also been able to target a youth focus email list to reach families with children within our target demographic of essentially nine or 10 to 14 to 15. And we continue to support legislation to advance our statewide e-bike safety initiatives. We just recently supported two Senate bills listed before you. We are taking regional efforts, a regional approach to developing legislation and poly solutions. So we're working with all of our regional partners and we continue to support proposed legislation that will really promote rider safety, parent accountability and effective local enforcement. Just a few charts before you. We have a great relationship with our friends over at um, um, Rady Children's health. So they've provided some statistics to us and to the, to captain Wigington. So just wanted to give you a brief snapshot of what pediatric trauma trends are looking like specifically the e -bikes. This right here alone, you'll see that injuries have, e-bike injuries have surpassed traditional pedal bike injuries and and they just continue to grow each year. Similar trend you'll see here is the rise in e-bikes, um, in the last five years. Interesting and we all know this, but they were virtually non-existent, you know, in trauma data, but by 2025 they are the leading cause of all trauma activities. Uh, similar trend, but we're seeing here the highest number of e-bike activations occur among 12 to 14 year olds here. Um, the same audience that we're focusing on through our education outreach efforts. And as we can see, e-bike injuries occur throughout the course of the year, but increase significantly during the spring and summer months and then peak in September. We'll have a full set of data, um, come the end of the year . So we'll be reporting back and, and comparing these trends as well. And again, um, you will see us in the community. Our work is ongoing as we head into the busy summer season. We're going to continue all of our ready parents and ride your ready programs. We'll continue our partnerships with the schools and local e-bike retailers. Um, we will install additional safety signage. Um, we're focusing, going to be focused on permanent sign age. Um, continuing to track incidents, support our target enforcement efforts and advocate for our legislative solutions. And then our plan again will be to come back to the council in one year to provide a one year progress update at that time. And at this time, I'd like to turn it over to Captain Wig ington. He will provide an update on our enforcement efforts. Captain Wigington: Thank you, Alison. Thank you, mayor and members of the council. Um, I really, I want to say thank you for adopting the ordinance. It gave us another tool in our tool belt to be able to address and enforce. Um, it really just gave us clear enforcement authority. So I thank you for that. Um, it also gave us some consistent expectations for parents and riders. Um, and I'm thankful for that. Next slide, please. Uh, bottom line up front. We've had over 300 warnings, 51 citations issued, 24 cit ations for unlicensed operators, uh, 23 illegal e-bikes and e-motos impounded and two arrests for evading a police officer. Um, I will say that, um, these numbers seemed a little loaf to me and I, I had to do a deep dive into why they weren't so great. Well, we've had some numbers of challenges and some of those challenges include, um, kids are running from us and we're not allowed to pursue them. And that, that pro proposed a really big challenge for us. We've seen some damage to public spaces and unfortunately, deputy sheriffs can't be everywhere at the same time. Um, this has increased negative enforcement, uh, contacts with our kids. So I'm super thankful for the, uh, the outreach and the educational opportunities that our staff has created. So, um, those are wonderful. But when you, when you're chasing a 12 to 14 year old on an e-device or in a regulated mobility device, they like to run from us. So that that's been a little bit of a challenge. They've been fleeing from us. Next slide. We've had, uh, 23, 30 day impounds. You can see the numbers there between November and May. Um, municipal code violations. We list 25. I mentioned two evading arrests and that's only because we were actually able to find them because we were able to track them slowly and follow them home. Uh, so that led to a contact with parents on a, on a porch. Um, and then CBC violations. In addition to the municipal code that you adopted as a council, we also have to rely on the California vehicle code for some of those violations. And, um, I mentioned earlier unlicensed driver. Well, that would be a case where someone is not in possession of a driver's license. And they were caught riding an E motorcycle, which has no business on our roadways. So that's, that's what those CBC violations, the majority of those are. Next slide, please. Our municipal code, the top five citations issued were number one for unsafe operations. Um, number seven or section seven for carrying a passenger section eight for wheelies, section 13 for helmet requirements and section 14 for actually altering the e-bike to make it go faster. So removing the governor on the device. Next slide. E-bike impounds have, uh, we found that they are rather time consuming. Uh, when, when we make contact with a rider, the, we already identified that it needs to be off the road way, but that leads to a time consuming, uh, contact in the street. And we're finding that we have to catch up with the technology that these bikes use. Sometimes they've modified their device to have a battery that makes it go literally 18 miles faster than what it lists on the website . And, um, so we've, uh, we're trying to catch up with the technology and we're impounding all of the ones that have no business on our roadways, such as the emotes that you see in these three photos here. Next slide, please. We've had a lot of opportunities for targeted and trail enforcement. Um, we like to be present on the high traffic e-bike areas in the town center, especially, uh, village center in the East Lake area, uh, the alcohol trail. Uh, we've been out there on our, using our off highway vehicle. We've used our patrol vehicles. We've also been out there on foot. Um, we also found a couple of challenges with the earth and trails in that an e-bike or an e-device is generally 150 to 200 pounds. Whereas my motor officers motorcycle is roughly 800 pounds. And so getting onto those earth and trails, uh, sometimes poses a problem. And I've had a couple of my motor officers wash out. And what I don't want is for them to collide or to crash. So just a couple of challenges. So we combated that with, um, going out there with our OHV and going out there with our units and, and just being present. And here you see a couple of those engagement opportunities here. When we call the system of Peregrine for the calls for service, it comes up with 206. When we see 206 on this map, it, that, that appears to be a considerable number. Um, but when we call this, when we query the system, we are also finding that it's not just one caller calling to say, I've got a problem with an e- bike or a reckless rider. Um, the system also identifies any call where e-bike was referenced. So if somebody stole a package off of your porch and they escaped on an e-bike, that would also be in this number of 206. So, um, we're, uh, we're working through the technology at our real time operation center and our crime analysis unit is trying to have a fix for that to make a better query for us. Next slide, please. Actually, could you go back one? The number 65, you see the largest circle is our town center area. And the next slide is actually a zoomed in portion of the town center, um, area. So that's why the numbers kind of shift here. We have had, uh, loads of calls for service in the, uh, in the town center. Um, that also could be because kids were riding by the town center and the caller just said, Yorba Linda Boulevard and Lakeview. And that's why we have such a huge concentrated, um, area here. It might not be specifically inside the town center or on a Royal street, but that's how the calls for service came into the dispatch center. Next slide. A lot of collaborative efforts for us, uh, the district attorney's office, we've had very specific conversations regarding, uh, filing charges on some of these e-bike, uh, contacts to include child endangerment charges for the parents who are aware that their child is riding a bike that they might not be allowed to ride. It might be against our municipal code or against the California vehicle code. So we're having, uh, great conversations with the district deputy district attorneys. Um, in addition to that, the orange County district attorney's office recently created the ride safely unit, uh, the ride safely unit, um, will be prosecuting anything e-bike related in the county. Um, and they've got a couple of very important cases. The first of which they, uh, received from Yorba Linda. So, um, additionally, we've got representatives from the orange County Sheriff's department, as well as OCFA serving on the district attorney's e-bike task force. Um, recently I attended the Huntington beach e-bike symp osium, which held about 60 different police agencies all in the same room, really just talking about how, uh, Yorba Linda is not unique. Uh, they share similar problems in, you know, beach cities and, you know, all the way up to Lancaster and back down to San Diego. So, uh, the symposium was a great opportunity for all of us to come together and that's actually where I got the Rady children's, um, chalk statistics from. Um, and then lastly, I'm a member of a committee within the orange County Sheriff's department focused on e-bike efforts to ensure that all of our contract cities are playing by the same playbook. So I'm, I'm looking forward to being able to, to update in December with some of those efforts as well. Next slide, please. And with that, um, I'm available for any questions that any of you might have. Uh, thank you both for the report. Uh, very comprehensive and really, uh, appreciate the, the detailed breakdown of, um, the different types of infractions and some of the heat map information. Um, let me just start off by, uh, generally speaking, uh, when we adopted this ordinance last year, that was just a starting point. Uh, and it wasn't meant to just, okay, we're done. Let's good luck. And if you find any, you know, folks that are doing the right thing, just give them some tickets. Uh, it was far from that. Uh, every, everything after, you know, thoughtful deliber ation, I'm thankful to my colleagues, uh, for us arriving at that consensus with public input and , uh, just the framework that, uh, uh, our, our great captain and our team put together. Uh, but that was a beginning point for us. And I, I'm really appreciative of being able to look at, uh , at this point in time here at the midpoint of the year at just the, uh, the comprehensive approach that we've taken. Uh, really appreciate staff. Uh, great deliverables, uh, as far as the communication materials. Uh, but you know, you can have some communication materials and then you can put them on a counter. That's, that's not good enough. So I'm really appreciative of how, um, we're continuing to find new ways to get into the community. Uh, to, to, to have those pop-ups. Uh, you know, again, just yesterday, I think we've, uh, when you're starting something new, you're trying to build momentum and, you know, we, maybe we started with, you know, tepid, uh, attendance. Uh, but you know, if there was one or five, they were going to get the full, uh, array of information. Uh, with the same level of enthusiasm. And then yesterday walking into the library, uh, you don't know what to expect and you see there were no seats. No seats. So again, I'm really appreciative. That means the word is getting out. Uh, and also the time of the year also, again, families are really busy. So it's hard to get out maybe during school time. Now that school's out. Uh, it was really timely and very strategic to have it when we had it there. And then also really appreciative of the, the strategy of timing and going back to the collaboration at the beginning of the year, uh, with city manager, uh, Grant Allison, you were there, uh, and talking with our captain in the school district and really being able to work hand in glove with the school district so that we could then get into the, to the PE classes. Uh, so again, every single student, uh, and you know, again , just we were joking about, uh, I think you made the joke that my daughter was paying attention, but every student was getting that information, whether they had an e-bike or not, and then they can share that with their friends as well. So I think that comprehensive approach and then looking at, uh, also, uh, those areas of concern, uh, as to, uh, uh, you know, what, what are we doing on the trail? So I was really appreciative of you highlighting that, uh, part of your presentation as well. So I'll, I'll stop there. But again, I'm just really encouraged. Uh, I don't feel like we, uh, should, um, you know, hurt our elbow, giving ourselves a pat on the back. I think we, we could still do more. We're going to lean in. We're going to continue to do more, find new avenues, uh, to get the word out. Uh, it'd be great if, you know, what, I guess the idea is like, what can we do to have every, uh, child who's interested in an e-bike get this information and to see thousands of families and thousands of, of, uh, uh, children being able to get this information so far is really encouraging. And, um, to deputy Lee, I appreciate your, your great sense of humor during these presentations as well. You do a great job of, uh, keeping the kids engaged. Uh, you really have a, and the dream team, I call them the dream team that, that, uh, continue to do these presentations, do a great job of, you know, they see the glaze eyes just before they're going to glaze. They, they jump in, they do something, you say something funny. Uh, so again, I think there's, uh, they're not just going through the motions. There's a sincerity from our, our deputy team and our staff and our, our whole team here. We really want to make a difference in doing everything we can to prevent any accidents. Uh, so more to come, uh, colleagues, I'll, I'll open it up to any thoughts, uh, questions you have as well. Thank you, Mayor. Um, thank you so much, captain and the team for such an elaborative, um, detailed report with statistics and numbers. And the last year, um, before we, um, adopted the ordinance , um, we, we heard a lot from you regarding community engagement and education, but coming back with numbers and performance, uh, measures and, you know, metrics with numbers, this is very impressive. So thank you so much. I was counting and writing them down when the different kind of efforts you have been doing, it turned out to be 12 plus, you know, including, um, so many workshops, which you've listed and what are coming in the future. So thank you so much. This is very impressive. And, um, and thank you for highlighting, like the mayor said, um, the trails, uh, enforcement efforts as well. Um, that's all for now. Thank you. Uh, council member, Lynn. Well, first of all, I just want to say thank you so much. Um, captain Dan Wellington and for Donnie Lee. I mean, it was amazing the sort of outreach program that you've prepared and put together. Um, Natalie Tran and also Alison, I know that you guys been working hard. I'm a visual learner and the package that you brought forward was very comprehensive. And I really appreciate that. I use that tool to speak to a lot of students as well as a lot of parents. And the two take backs of one of them, um, just happened this weekend when I went into the pop-up and I just dropped by to see how they're doing and try to encourage and support our team. And, um, I went there and there's these two young men. They self identified themselves and they also identified the type of bikes and wanted to know, are, are, am I riding the right bike? So I think you're, it's very effective. You may not see it up front in the beginning, but that's really effective what you guys are doing. The second one was a conversation with a mom. Now this mom did not know that she purchased her 12 year old a wrong erroneous e-bike. And she self, she self determined like, oh, this is the right. She was shocked. She sincerely was shocked. And I thought that was very effective too. And it's just those times, those moments where you just think it's just one and one, but it's not, it's growing. You guys are growing momentum and the word is getting out. So I really want to thank you for all your efforts and what you're doing. I did go around and talk to residents and they all are noticing a difference on our streets, on our trails and on our roads and even in our town center. So thank you again for that because it's really hard to make a difference and quantify that sort of difference. But if residents, everyday residents are noticing it, that 's a good sign. So I think we're on the right, right track. Just a note to parents. I mean, this is your enforcement duty, right? I mean, we can, there's no magical ordinance. We don't, ordinances didn't, we can't make our ordinances lesser than what our CVC tells us to do. We could just improvise and make it more strict if we wanted to. So we did our best when we adopted the ordinance, but there 's no magical ordinance, guys. This is something that parents and guardians, you guys need to understand that what you do with your children, what you allow with your children, you're responsible for it. So there's one lesson I remember my daughter told me just recently. She said, "Mom, I was so upset with you that you didn't give me an iPhone before she was 13 years old because she swore I was going to ruin her life, right? Like, you're ruining my life." And I withheld and she just came back to me, she's 23 now, and she said, "Mom, I'm just so grateful that you you were able to tell me no, that you held back on giving me the iPhone." So anyways, that's just a word of advice and just something that I just wanted to put out there because these ordinance isn't for really just for the kids, it's for your adults too. And I know the DA, and I know him very well, he's going to come down hard. And there's no excuse for not knowing what you're giving your child because it's like giving your child a car. It's just like that because it could go fast as a car too. It's just like giving your child a car without licensing, without knowledge of the road, and without the presence of mind that they could hurt someone as well as themselves. So with that, I just leave and just again, thank you for all your hard work, Mayor. Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Lim. Do we have any other comments? Okay, thank you. We'll go ahead and take a public comment. I'll start with Dee Dee Frederick. Good evening. And then we have Ray Stambuck next. Good evening, Dee Dee Frederick. As most of you know, I usually come to promote or defend or do something with horses, but honestly, this has just become a public safety issue. In fact, it's a national public safety issue. It's on every news channel. It's all over the papers, social media. It's time to act. And this is hard for me because I love Allison. We go way back. I love Deanne. I love my police officers, but I'm sorry. This is not what I'm hearing. I have people, I have two members that write to me every day. I'm not kidding. I can show you every day what's going on out there, and it 's not what you're reporting. I'm not saying that your statistics are wrong, but it's just, it's out of control. Anyway, so you've got my email. So I'm just going to touch on a few points. That one on the record. My report shows 430% increase in accidents in the last couple of years. OCTA built a beautiful bike path through our city. This is where these e-bikes belong. And you have the power to do this. Ordinance 18002, which I have if anybody wants a copy, allows you to keep them off of our sidewalks. Good God, they've got to get off of our sidewalks. And it also allows you to keep them off of our trails. I thought we were getting back in six months. It's eight. And now you're talking about December. So that would be a year. I'm hoping that this isn't just the end tonight, that it's going to be revisited on things that we can do, because it 's out of control. As Deanne mentioned, Todd Spitzer's all over this. He has a committee, or whatever you guys call it, just for e-bikes. I mean, it's like playing Russian roulette. I mean, do we want to be next to be the dead kid in Yorva Linda? We saw the death in Lake Forest. There's a rest on parents. We've got to take this temptation away from the kids and the parents. How can you give a kid, it's 8, 10, 11, 12, a bike that goes 30, 40 miles an hour? It's just absurd to me. Something has got to change. I know it starts with California. I know we can't do it all on our own. But we've got to do something. Just since my email, I live off of Lakeview Buena Vista. My neighbors, they report one end to Heather and I report the other end to Heather. And they said an e-bike went down Highland, 40 miles an hour with a police officer chasing them. The kid got away. She watched the cop, you know, look, look, look. Never got the kid. So there's just, you know, one thing after another. Let's see, what else do I have? You know, people will say to me, people wrote back when I sent my email to the club. Well, what do you think should happen, Dee Dee? And like I said, I know that there's the California laws and whatnot. But what I would like to see us advocate for to California is these kids have to be 16. They can't be 8, 10, and 12. They have to have a driver's license. They have to have passed a test. And they have to have insurance. I mean, how does this make any sense to anybody? And just like this gentleman, the kid that got away, if he had a license, you guys would have got him. But I mean, it just makes zero sense. Anyway, I think that's about the end of my list. So I would just like to say that in closing, again, I know California prevents us to ban them completely. These dangerous stories, ban the dangerous stories. But I just hope that you'll do the right thing. I think you are all proud to be from the common sense party . And so it's time to use some common sense. And I hope the answer is that we will do something sooner than later. Thank you so much. Thank you for your comment. Ray, welcome. Okay. Mary Rodriguez, council members. Good evening. I appreciate the efforts of the city and the sheriff's department for the education and enforcement. I was impressed by the numbers. I mean, you've really reached out to a lot of people, whether the parents or the children listen to them is a different story. I'm here today to express my growing concern and thoughts regarding e-bikes on the trails and streets of Yorba Linda. I'd like to encourage the council to reconsider their view of e-bikes on our trails. I would like to see a ban of the e-bikes on all trails and at the very least to ban the e-bikes driving on earth and dirt trails. As you know, over the last six or eight months that we've reviewed this, there's been more and more incidences of e-bikes and accidents. There was the case of the 81-year-old teacher being hit and killed, the accident of the 13-year-old trying to race the train across the railroad tracks and getting killed, and then the one that was must have lost control and ran into a center divider. And why it was out in the middle of the street, who knows? And then recently there's yet another one where a five-year -old girl was hit and drug by an e-bike in front of her school. You know, you can go on and on, but this doesn't even start to cover the recklessness, disrespect, and ignorance of the safety that the riders have of these e -bikes motorcycles. Because a lot of them are dirt bikes, off-road motorcycles. They're not licensed. They shouldn't even be on the trails and on the streets. There has been a lot of information from the state about what different classes of the e-bikes are, which were on your charts there also. Along with this, Todd Spitzer has created the special prosecution team to address e-bike accidents and infractions. Many trauma doctors have been voicing their concern about the increase in pediatric injuries. And I've also read that Amazon stopped selling certain types of e-bikes. I do know, however, that our trails in Yorba Linda have signage that specifically states no motorized vehicles. And aren't these e-bikes motorized? Many of the so-called e-bikes have the ability to go very fast. And I've noticed that more and more small motorcycles have been taking advantage of the situation and riding on our trails and street. I would also like to point out that Yorba Linda spent considerable time and money in creating a bike lane system connect with the Orange County system. These lanes and other bike lanes should be utilized whenever possible. Also, if these motorized bikes are used on the street, they should be registered and licensed with the drivers following the rules of the road. If nothing else, I would like the council to consider adding a sentence to their current or current ordinance that would read where there are dirt trails and paved trails, e-bikes must use the paved trails. I did when I sent the letter out included a very nice sign from Colorado that showed one of their paved trails. And it had the different types of bikes, what was allowed, what was not allowed. And it was very nice. I hope you were all able to see that. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your comment. Do we have any other comments, please? Thank you again for the opportunity to speak to you tonight . I'd like to reiterate my request that I made a year ago and six months ago to change the e-bike ordinance 2025-1114 to prohibit their use of these vehicles or any motorized vehicles on our horse trails. As I said back then and I repeat tonight, the number one job of city government is to keep residents safe. Through all the discussions about e-bikes over the past year, the focus has been on assuring the safety of the e-bike users as many of them are underage. But these are motorized vehicles and much more focused should be on the pedestrians on these trails who must now share all their walking services, the horse trails , the sidewalks with motorized vehicles now, ridden by young users and in some cases, very inexperienced riders. More accidents like the one that took the life of the 81- year-old teacher are just waiting to happen. And this is all just a repeat. No doubt there are many, there have been some very tragic accidents involving e-bike users on our roads, but this is the risk that they take when parents purchase these vehicles for their kids. And it's very, it's sad, but we should be also looking at the pedestrians and the horses and thinking about whether our trails, we're blessed to have these trails and sidewalks. We should at least use one of them just for horses and pedestrians and leave the motorized vehicles off these trails. So I could go on and on. I've already said it many times before. I'm going to cut it short and say what I would like to see you do is revisit this e-bike ordinance and restrict the use of these motorized vehicles on our horse trails. Thank you for your time. Okay. Thank you. Do we have any other comments? Okay. Seeing none, I'll close public comment and we'll bring it back. Colleagues, we'll start with Council Member Campbell. Okay. Well, I'll just add a little bit more too. I know the legislation has not caught up in California. I mean, I think we all could realize that right now. Oregon and Washington, I said it before, they restrict e- bike usage 16 and under already. And I don't agree with Washington and Oregon most of the time, but this one I do. And right now I think Lori Davies, she's spearheading some of the e-bike ordinances right now. So what she calls for us to do is to call your state legislators and just put your request out to them because it needs to catch up to them. It needs to get that on their legislative pieces of what they're working on. And I think Lori Davies is the one that you want to contact because she's a really great lady. I just spoke to her recently. And so with that again, I think we're doing some really good work. I really appreciate the work that you've been doing on the earthen trails as well as the paved trails. And if you want to respond to that a little bit more, I mean, if you want to do that. So anyways, thank you so much. - Yeah. As far as, well, it looks like you were going to make a comment. Council member Singh. - Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Mayor. Before I make a comment, I just want to acknowledge, I think in the last one and a half year since I've been on the council, today's the first time I've heard repeatedly the name of one citizen of our community multiple times, at least seven, eight times by the city staff thanking, and that is Didi. So thank you, Didi, for partnering with the city staff on everything what you do in the city of and I think Mike Kudron mentioned about five, six times and then Alison and Captain, you mentioned her too as well. So thank you, Didi, for all your efforts. A few clarifying questions, if I may ask from the captain. I know we got a few emails on the e-bikes. I've gone through those emails. So for everyone watching here and online, just want to acknowledge that, you know, we do read your emails. We acknowledge the dangers posed by the e-bikes and we pride ourselves as a land of gracious living, city of trails, equestrian community and safety. Yoruba Linde will be one of the safest cities. So we want to continue that. One of the concerns which was brought up by one of the speakers was the signs were, and I would like you to clarify that once again, I think we 've clarified that before as well, the California vehicle code section 312.5 states that e-reg ulated or e-bikes are still technically classified as a bicycle. And I can't change that law. I can't change that vehicle code. Literally, the e-bicycles are considered bicycles. We have made considerable efforts to get the e-motorcycles that you mentioned, ma'am, off of the streets. I think we've almost 30, I think, we're at right now, with just another two that I didn't even include in our statistics tonight in the last two days. So every single time we can take those off the streets, we will. And it doesn't matter to me if they're parked at In-N-Out. It doesn't matter to me if they're parked in a school parking lot. We're getting rid of the e-motorcycles because they have no business on the streets. But for the sake of bicycles, e-bikes are still classified as bicycle. Yeah. Thank you for clarifying. The second concern, I think, which was brought up in today 's speakers, as well as in the emails, was the enforcement or the trails, e-bikes on trails. From the statistics which you've shown, enforcement, if you can elaborate on enforcement on the trails, in the last eight months since we adopted the resolution, how many times have the police been able to go on the trails and what kind of tools have you used to go on the trails, if you can elaborate on those? Well, when I pulled the statistics, it looks like we've only impounded one e-motorcycle off of a trail from an encounter. And so I had to search a little deeper into that. Why? Why are we only getting one showing from a trail opportunity or targeted enforcement, if you will? And that was when the deputies explained to me, ma'am, we go onto the trail and sometimes they run from us. But if they don't run from us and they're completely cooperative and they're willing to have a conversation with deputy sheriffs and we're able to turn that contact into an educational opportunity and also incorporate some of the caught being good, you know, the gift cards and we're able to have those kids leave with a positive enforcement contact, then I allow my deputies to take that discretion, to have that discretion. We've been on the trails. And then further asking my team, what does that look like to you when you're out on the trail? Are you logging that as a patrol track on a specific trail? Well, maybe not. Maybe they're just traversing El Cajon because they just wanted to cruise and be present and be visible. And obviously I can't get police cars onto all of the horse trails in Yorba Linda because some of them are considerably narrow and I can't get a police car in there. So I said, well, take your bikes. Well, they did take their bikes and fell over because it's an earthen trail. So we did have a couple of challenges with that. So then we said, okay, we'll take take some of the the off highway vehicle time frame, like take take some of that and go out there and be present . And they've engaged with I said 300 plus warnings, but that 's that number is so incredibly low. I would say it's probably closer to 500 because deputies encounter kids on e-bikes all the time, every single day. But specific to trails, they've been on their motorcycles, they've been on their off highway vehicles. We will continue to do that. That's our plan is to continue to do that, sir. Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you. Again, thank you for all the engagement. Thank you for everything which you've done. Education engagement. And I know we've been talking about education engagement for a long time. Again, going back to the trails, you mentioned there was a challenge getting the motorcycles being 800 pounds on the on the earthen trails. And OHV, if you can explain an OHV and how many times have you specifically used and because bikes, yes, it's great. But if you if someone if you do encounter an e-bike, that's going to run away at much higher speed, which bike won't be able to follow that. But on an OHV, how many times have you been able to send your based on the availability and resources, being able to send on the trails? Speaker 2: For OHV, that's our off highway vehicle. That looks like the the one that they you can take out to to the sand dunes. We often bring that one out for our national night out. That has been out on our trails at least three times in the last six months. Speaker 2: Okay. Speaker 2: For you know, a couple of hour shifts. Speaker 2: And have those been on specific high traffic trails noticed or where you've gotten complaints more or that's been random? How many if you can elaborate on that and how many lane miles of highway trails do we have in your Belinda? Speaker 2: We have over 100 miles of trails. I want to say it's 130 miles of trails. Speaker 2: Got it. Speaker 2: In the city. Mike, are you asking me if my off highway vehicle has made it on all 130 miles? Speaker 2: No, no, no. Speaker 2: I cannot say that. Speaker 2: Right, right. So these when you when you selected your to send your OHV on specific trails, were those high accident prone or how did you determine where to send the OHV? Speaker 2: I did not tell the deputies where to go. I said, be present and visible on the trails. Speaker 2: Issue citations if you have the ability to do so . Engage with the kids if you have the ability to turn that into a caught being good scenario, then take advantage of that. Speaker 2: Yeah. I know in one of the last meetings last when we adopted the resolution, the ordinance, it was mentioned that and I think Didi has mentioned just now when she spoke was that she's gotten a lot of complaints from her horse riders and there was a website, you know, in our local community groups, people used to complain about riders and pedestrians walking being encountered by e-bikes . How have you seen, I know you had mentioned that you're monitoring our social websites as well. How have you seen your progress on the trails from complaints wise, either, you know, coming in complaints or on the social websites? Have you seen a decrease in those? Or if you, if you can elaborate on that as well, please? Speaker 2: I did not delve into social media reach for the sake of for my portion of the presentation, but because I'm a resident in the city and because I also monitor the Yorba Linda moms group, the Yorba Linda Buzz and, you know, Yorba Linda News You Can Use. What I see is that there are less complaints on social media on those pages from last November. Speaker 2: Okay. Speaker 2: I'll leave it at that. Okay. No, thank you. Because thank you for giving all the status checks. What I 'm hearing from one of our residents, at least from D.D. here is that, like she mentioned, with all due respect, and what the complaints she's getting are you're getting are different from the numbers, what the report is showing. And I know in the meetings we had discussed that any complaints, which any of the citizens in Yorba Linda get, please forward it to the captain. So have you been getting those emails forwarded from the residents of Yorba Linda for all the complaints regarding e-bikes on the trails? Speaker 2: I sure have. We also have people come into the station, sit down with us. We have discussions about our engagement efforts and our enforcement efforts. We contact people on a daily basis out in the community. People approach us constantly. And and really part of that is also educating those people. There's a challenge with the speed in which these devices can go. And maybe some people aren't calling it in to complain about the e-bikes because by the time the deputies get there, the kids are already gone. And that's a challenge that I can't combat. I can't offer a solution to that one other than to be present in the community and and make contact when we can. And if that means that we have to do it one by one, one, you know, contacting one kid at a time or we take advantage of captive audiences and PE classes, then then that's what we'll continue to do, sir. I appreciate it. Thank you. I know the last eight months from November till now don't reflect the activities in in the summer and summer is coming up where we have a lot of movies, a lot of, you know, parks and rec activities out in the parks and where kids probably will ride e-bikes using different routes, whether trails or to get to these parks. So thank you for bring trying to bring it back in December. But again, we do acknowledge the dangers of the e-bikes and since I think the e-bikes on the trails have been a consistent issue which has been brought up by the residents. I give this example, you know, when we are, when we get complaints about people speeding on certain streets and you guys do talk, what do you call it? Targeted enforcement, right? And then the cops change the positions in the motorbikes and we say these cops are hiding behind those trees and giving tickets. The word spreads around very fast and people do slow up in that specific street for a certain time. So I was just thinking here loudly, would there be any way where we can get a similar message that cops would be there on the trails at different times, surprise checks, surprise visits on different trails. I'm not sure what that would take. But if there would be nice if we could do target enforcement at regular intervals on different trails so the word gets around in the community that hey, cops are present and then when you come back in December, we have the, we have the statistical data from summer, which is the maximum peak time, like, you know, the report showed from chalk between the spring and summer and, you know, there's a lot of things happen with the accidents and injuries. So rather being reactive, if we can be proactive, I would, and I don't know, maybe we can talk about it, if there's any extra resources budget could be allocated for doing targeted enforcement over the next summer. So when the next report comes back in December, we do have some statistical data and a more comfort for the people who are the residents who are talking about the trails and, and we take some proactive action. I'm in a position where I have my last two remaining deputy sheriffs that are on training. And they're about to get off of training and that will put me at complete staffing 100%. With that, Sergeant Lee and I have had some conversations about creating an ancillary position, much like a, or a specialty position, such as an SRO. That 's a designated position with a specific job. I will be in a position to be able to create what we're referring to as a quality of life deputy. And that would be someone that we can use for trails or town center or parking structure, whatever that looks like right now, when we're having a really, really big problems in the town center, I send my specialized enforcement team because it's a team of two. And when they're not working on something specifically already for a big project that they've undertaken. So yes, we, we are able to do targeted enforcement. Okay. That's great. Um, again, whatever resources, if you need anything, that's something I personally would like to recommend, um, using some kind of target enforcement for the next few months. So we have better numbers on the trails, um, in December, whether we need to, again, whatever sources you need, not at the cost of safety of other, um, but this is equally important as well. So thank you. That's all for now. So I think you council member. So I would count that as some direction colleagues for us to consider. I would be supportive of that direction and maybe have, uh, staff, um, put some numbers around that as far as what the cost implications would be, uh, for that approach that, uh, you're recommending, but I don't want to cut off council member Campbell. I want to third time here. If you'd like to comment. No, I appreciate it. Okay. I appreciate hearing everybody's thoughts before giving my comments, because I think we all share in the, the frustration of this issue that's impacting everybody. And it's incredibly hard to tackle. Um, I think all three of you brought up great points about each part of it and the frustration. Um, you know, D.D. I agree. It's going to take state legislation to have more actual impact, uh, to this. And I know, um, I'm sitting here with Alison who had briefly mentioned in her presentation two of the bills that we have sent support letters on. Um, and one of them was the assemblywoman Lori Davies bill that, uh, councilwoman Lim mentioned, but we're constantly keeping on track and trying to push and support legislation that's going to have hopefully the more long term impact that we need to see, um, beyond just our city. And, and Ray, you mentioned the frustration about, well, our signs say you're not allowed to have a motorized vehicle on the trails. And that is as Schvinder had just asked our captain to elaborate on part of our frustration where the vehicle code clearly needs to change at the state level to categorize these. So, um, I'm appreciative of that. I do want to, uh, touch on a couple of things that were mentioned, but I really want to highlight. Um, captain Wiginton brought up, um, that the first case of the D.A. bringing charges was in your Belinda. And that wasn't by accident. That is the work of our captain and our deputies putting together the evidence to give to the D.A. and really pushing, because I think that was a huge step for the D.A. to finally bring a charge against a parent, which is very serious. I understand, but I think it's the wake up call that needed to happen. And you saw a trickle of now a couple other, I think there's been four parents who have been charged in Orange County. And I appreciate the D.A. taking that, that stance because it's really, I think going to come down to the parents. I appreciate that we're having events that are parent focused, um, because, and I hope, I don't know if you've shared that Rady Children's Health slide at the parent ones yet, but I would really encourage that to be front and center. And then maybe even having a printout of that at, I know our 4th of July event that we have coming up. Parents need to see, uh, that that is now a leading trauma impact for kids, especially 12 to 14. Why these kids 12 to 14 are riding e-bikes is, wouldn't be my decision, but, um, I think really critical. I literally this morning, I was at, um, Rady Children's Health about a different presentation about how suicide amongst our youth is, is up. Um, and then to see this statistic from the same rep utable organization to see really the vulnerable, uh, situation, uh, the 12 to 15 year olds are in across the board is, is, um, concerning and to see something like this, that hopefully we can help give that impression to parents that this is incredibly serious for their young kids. Um, so I just wanted to echo and hopefully again, have it at the booth that we're going to have it 4th of July and other things would like to emphasize that I will support, um, also the council members suggestion of enforcement in this time, try to get some more targeted enforcement. But I think you, mayor, that I could hear from, from each of you and our community, um, as we desperately try to tackle, uh, this issue that, look, I, I did a ride along with Sergeant Lee. So I got to see firsthand somebody evading the police. And if you saw the bot or the, the audio from the camera, from the car that I was in, I just could not believe that this person was evading the police in Yorba Linda. I just could not fathom that. And so there are correct that, uh, that does happen. And no matter what we put in our ordinance, unfortunately, that I think is going to continue to happen, um, until there's some actual state laws that kind of help us. Um, so let me just say, Captain Wig ington, Sergeant Lee, all the deputies, how appreciative we are of you taking seriously this ordinance and this concern in Yorba Linda. I know it's probably not the first thing when you decided to put on the uniform that you'd be tackling is, is elementary school kids on e-bikes. Um, and I hope you can relate to the deputies how much we appreciate, um, the effort that they're taking. Cause I'm sure it can be disheartening to try to enforce the ordinance. And somebody is evading, but know that every single time that we're trying to make, um, an impact that you potentially saving, um, a life there. So I hope you can relay that, um, sentiment from us. Cause I know can be probably very annoying. Um, but it's greatly appreciated. So thank you. Thank you, mayor. - Okay. Uh, does that, uh, Pete provide you enough direction as to what, um, we'd like to have you guys come back, uh, with as far as our efforts on the trails? - I think it does. We'll work with the sheriff's department to sort of understand the details of that quality of life assignment and its ability to be on the, the, the trails. Uh, and we'll also investigate other tools that we might have to use over time or, or things like that. Um, so that in the remaining, you know, I think it's 14 or so weeks until the time change happens, weekend to Shavender's point, um, have deputies, um, on the trails enough that the word gets out that there's a, a sheriff in a new part of town. It's not a new sheriff in town joke, but there's something along those lines, uh, in the effort, the hope that the, the prospect of law enforcement being on the trails results in more responsible riding behavior on them. - Okay, great. We'll look forward to that. Uh, colleagues, anything else? - Mayor, if I may, just to add to that, thank you for clarifying. Um, I think that may involve some kind of, um, marketing effort from us as well. Um, sending messages out, um, through communications, through emails, through new that, hey, there is a sheriff on the trails. Um, so marketing plus enforcement, and if any, um, as you go along, you work with the sheriffs , if any other resources, whether it's an, another OHV or anything or another, or directed enforcement , uh, or more people needed or whatever, please let, let, bring it back to the console. So if, you know, additional resources need to be assigned or funds need to be allocated, please feel free to bring it back to the console. Um, because in December, I'll let, really like to see some statistics with numbers, uh, with, and that'll be my question in December. If you know, you were able to, uh, if you were, have your officers able to travel 130 miles or how many miles of, um, target enforcement were you able to cover? Um, what, and especially those areas where it's more prominent and please, I'm sure you'll work with our equest rian community to, uh, capture those areas and the best you could. Thank you. Just a clarification. I don't think it's about miles that they're, it's targeted enforcement on our problem areas, clearly the town center. Agreed. Agreed. Um, whether that's El Cajon in terms of the trails, I'll let you determine based off the call volumes that you've had or, or consultation with Dee Dee, what she 's hearing. I'm sure it's probably Lake Bed and and some similar areas, but I would, I don't need them doing all 100 miles of trails if that's not our problem areas, you know. Yeah, I really would like the communication with, uh, Dee Dee and the equestrian community to continue. So as we're looking at those, you know, targeted areas, be great to get that, that input, um, to just reinforce, okay, if we're going to deploy, um, any deputies to, to those areas that are seen as most problematic and then also be great if there is a budgetary implication. I know if I got a, if I got a text message, uh, from, um, our, our captain Whittington and it, uh, was a text message from her, I would, I would want to open it. And if it was a message that talked about e-bike safety, I think that would be something that would also be interesting. So maybe there's something there with Allison and Hannah, uh, Pete that, uh, can get into, um, uh, a, you know, at least for the summertime, get, uh, what would that look like to get some, um, messaging and on the handheld devices that, um, you know, if they click it, it's in them to the website, they click it, maybe it sends them to a little PSA video. We got those great videos that we, we highlight, uh, during those presentations, maybe just abbreviate them. Uh, some of those videos make them, you know, 20 seconds or something, but I think just thinking outside the box, if we can look at technology as another way of, um, getting the message out in addition to that enforcement, love to see what that might look like. So that enough direction. Yes, sir. Great. Okay. Uh, thank you colleagues for that. Um, want to take a moment as we move off of item 26 and, uh , before we adjourn tonight's meeting, I'd like to do so in the memory of, uh, Albert Michael K inen, a beloved member of the Yorba Linda community whose life reflected the very best of our city. Uh, Albert and his late beloved wife, Carol, moved to Yorba Linda in 1968 and spent nearly six decades building a life, a family and a legacy in our community. I'm married for 59 years. Uh, they exemplified the values of commitment, faith, family, and service. Together. They raised four children, Karen, Paul, Krista, and Kimberly, and established roots that now extend across four generations of Yorba Linda residents. Albert's greatest pride was his family. His legacy lives on through 15 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren with four more on the way. Few people have the privilege of witnessing four generations of their family call the same community home in Albert cherished that blessing. Many longtime residents may remember a future story in the Orange County register that highlighted five couples on Alfred circle who had been married more than 50 years while living in the same homes and neighborhoods for decades. Albert and Carol were among those remarkable couples representing a generation that helped build the foundation of Yorba Linda's close knit character. Their story was not simply about longevity. It was about devotion to one another, to their family, to their neighbors, and to the community they proudly called home. Those who knew Albert knew him as a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, respected engineer, man of faith, and someone who treated others with kindness, dignity, and generosity. He leaves behind not only a beautiful family, but also an enduring example of a life well lived. On behalf of the Yorba Linda City Council and the residents of our city, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire Canin family. We're grateful for Albert's nearly 58 years of residency in Yorba Linda and for the countless ways he enriched our community through his quiet leadership, strong values, and unwavering dedication to family and recognition of his life and legacy. And with gratitude for all he contributed to our city, this meeting of the Yorba Linda City Council is adjourned in the memory of Albert Michael Canin. May his memory be eternal. Thank you.

First recording, Secretary Kelly, were there any written comments received? No comments received. Thank you. Okay. So then we will open it up to public comments. If anyone in the audience would like to speak. John Davis, Yorba Linda resident. I just wanted to start with, it's a whole, it was regarding the pickleball thing at Los Palomas Tennis Park. It is a tennis park, not a pickleball park. There seems to be more pushback against the dogs of the Yor ba Linda residents than there is against the pickleball of what we've seen within these meetings of over 50% outside of Yorba Linda. How much money has the county given to Yorba Linda neighborhood park systems in order to fund a county and regional state-wide-sized project that was shoved into a neighborhood park? Since security issues are often gone unacknowledged and unreported, what is the status of charging enough money to the participants to provide a permanent Leo or security patrol for the park for illegal activity? Drinking in the park, smoking in the park, having sex in the park after the lights go out. There's numerous issues which sheriffs have been reported to. What is the status of the sound deadening project? Obviously these things weren't budgeted for before because none of this stuff was thought about or brought to the residents' attention. Even though flyers were said to be given out, I live less than 400 feet from it and I didn't receive them. What is the percentage of homes for sale in the area affected by noise and parking versus the rest of Yorba Linda? Is there a study done by the city? Independent studies range from 10 to 20% reduction in home pricing. Even though we've had speakers here come in and say they're realtors and say that it increases. Well, that's not what the study showed. So once again, please, if Yorba Linda can budget for a study of real estate disturbance. How much money has and time has been spent on this by the city on this poorly planned project and how much more are we willing to spend to ensure the safety and tranquility of the neighborhood? Why are we not willing to spend the money to accomplish the goal of increasing Yorba Linda status on the safest city list? Because we're not increasing. I'd like to once again request a wildlife study, environmental study, as well as a noise study that should have been done beforehand. And if you want to throw a traffic study in there too, which also should have been done beforehand. I'd like to request that officially, please. In animals, loud noises are known to affect physiological behavior, altering with stress induced, disrupting communication, as well as reproduction. And then, is Yorba Linda still a bird sanctuary? I will say that when I spent the 96 degree weather outside of my backyard for the first time in a long time, I didn't hear pickleball because apparently it's not about getting exercise. It's about being comfortable. I was outside and I did hear birds. You know what I didn't hear? Is pickleball at 96 degrees. But I'm out there. Shouldn't other people be out there if they're willing to come into a small neighborhood and cause disruption? Eastside Park is under construction next year, as been mentioned in these meetings. I think that would be a perfect time to discuss putting pickleball there, away from the homes that are at Eastside and actually do the process the right way this time, traffic, noise, wildlife, all these things that should have been done beforehand. We should do that with Eastside Park, keeping it away from the homes 'cause some of it stays on the opposite side of the homes. Would you feel the same thing if it was next to your house? Would you have the same understanding that it's somebody else's problem if it was across the street from your house? There's plenty of greenery on Yorba Ranch Road. There's plenty of greenery on San Antonio Road. There's plenty of greenery in Chappelle Park, Arroyo Park. If we're gonna do this, let's do it. Otherwise, it's obviously not a good idea. Let's remove it and move it to a spot that's not gonna disturb neighborhoods. This is another meeting and this is another property crime report, not 500 feet from my front door. There was a stolen infinity about six weeks ago at Via Bellarmino and Via Sevilla. We've had burglaries, multiple stolen vehicles since this pickleball court is open. It's brought an element of people into the neighborhood, not all, but an element of people in the neighborhood with nefarious intent and they're taking advantage of it. Please, I'd like to request that pickleball be put on the agenda for next time. I've noticed that it's not always there and we still come in and we make our case known. Thank you. - Good evening, Terry or Belinda. Three years ago, a survey came around asking, do you play pickleball, tennis, or both? How would you answer if you didn't play either one? You might throw the survey in the garbage. You might write in your own answer and you might just pick any answer, which would totally skew the results. This is just one problem with that survey. Then there were meetings in this room with law enforcement in the corner, a few blindsided homeowners, and a platoon of pickleball players carrying signs, campaigning like life itself was ending and spreading a lot of misinformation. I refuted as much of that misinformation as time would allow here in some of these five-minute sprints. To be clear, that tennis court conversion was based on a flawed survey, a flurry of misinformation, and a failure to conduct a serious impact study. It should not have been approved based on any of that. The mitigation attempts that followed were greatly appreciated but minimally effective. Now we have a runaway train. In the past year, a few homeowners come here, present myriad of persistent problems, ask for help, nothing happens. Players rarely show up here because they're happy in their element. So time just rolls on as if this is okay. I opened my bedroom window one night at 10:00 p.m. and I heard people playing pickleball. The Palomas courts were dark and empty, but I could still hear it. So I drove around and I found it coming from the backyard of a house on the other side of Paseo del Prado. That is 1,400 feet from my house. In between, there are a few rows of houses, three streets, a couple of trails, a small hill, and a line of massive trees. That's how piercing that sound is. If you stand at the intersection of Paseo de los Palomas and Village Center Drive, on most mornings, you can hear Palomas pickleball. That's a distance of 1,200 feet. Understand that there are three to four dozen homes within 500 feet of the Palomas courts, and some are under or around 200 feet from the courts. For most of those houses, you would not sit in your backyard or your front porch or tinker in your garage without hearing that racket, not to mention loud voices, car alarms chirping, and so forth. Forget about having peaceful mornings. The weekends are atrocious. The are you kidding me moments are endless. Last month, a woman in a pickup pulled into the parking lot , which was full, so she backed out and drove in reverse up L. Sid until she found a spot on the street and backed into it. That's not the safest maneuver on that street. Last week, I was about to walk across the parking lot entrance. A pickleball player in a rush pulled his car into the lot right in front of me like I wasn't there. This is not okay. It's not okay that every player comes around for a few hours, a few times a week at most, to the detriment and the 24/7 quality of life of homeowners nearby. As my friend a disinterested party said the other day, this is wrong on so many levels. The totality of it all is stressful, but when people trivialize it, it compounds the stress. We hear that homeowners just don't want to see or hear people having fun. I used to fly noisy airplanes and ride noisy motorcycles with friends for fun. I used to play music in loud bands. I used to, well, I still do go to loud concerts and sporting events. But I don't want to hear people having fun at a wild party next door at 3:00 a.m. Whether we care about players having fun or not is not relevant to the point that those courts don't belong in a quiet neighborhood. We hear about the benefits of pickleball. I get it. I work in a lot of times when I play team sports in high school and a little bit in college. I worked in mental health and wellness for decades. The beneficial nature of pickleball is not relevant to the point that those courts don't belong in a quiet neighborhood. I served a lot of years in executive management, directed the departments, supervised people, interfaced with many, many stakeholders, sat on and chaired countless committees, work groups, task forces, projects, worked for all levels of government and private sector at various times. I understand the challenges in trying to balance and meet the needs and demands of groups with differing objectives. Those challenges are not relevant to the point that those courts don't belong in a quiet neighborhood. If pushback from homeowners looks and sounds familiar, it should. More and more in this country courts, the legal kind, are s iding with homeowners. The reasons for this are a no-brainer. You don't place a noise factory like that next to people's houses. But it doesn't take a lawsuit or a court order to resolve these things. Last month, the city council in Martinez, California, voted to remove offending pickleball courts after one year. They listened to homeowners, properly assess the situation, and did the right thing. The Palomas courts now appear on the pickleball noise relief hotspot map. Check it out. Not a happy distinction for a city that bills itself as a place of gracious living. Homeowners are asking you to take action on this. Homeowners are asking for your help in returning sanity to our neighborhoods and to our lives. Thank you. Anybody else? Okay. We have any other public comments. So moving on with our agenda, looking to old business. Looks like we have none. New business. Department highlights report presented by Superintendent Jeff Ruth. Thank you, Chair Catlin, members of the commission. Tonight we have our final department highlight report of 2025. It seems a little odd that we're in April of 2026, so apologies. But a lot of the events and program updates have been provided to commission in previous meetings. So I'll go through this pretty briefly. Our movies in the park. Wrapped up with strong attendance. It finished with a sing-along showing of Wicked, which was well attended in October. Our senior wellness expo was held in October and we had over 500 attendees and 60 vendors. And that continues to show strong support from the community. Our trails and treat Halloween hike continues to sell out every year. We had about 600 participants. Our youth empowerment service day for teens brought together 125 teens. We partnered with the library to support the With Hope Foundation. And that event continues to grow every year. Our holiday season, we had breakfast Santa that hosted 250 attendees. That sells out every year. And then our holiday tree lighting continues to be a great event over at Town Center with live music and tree lighting by the mayor and some snowfall. Our teen programs continue to do very well. Our teen action committee stays busy. They're helping at Trails and Treats. They're also doing some new intergenerational program with some of our seniors at our lunch program. They did some human slot machine and balloon tic-tac-toe and board games, which is very interesting to watch. So, sorry. They're also doing some financial literacy workshops. They partnered with the Orange County Credit Union. That continues to be successful. They're hosting Nerf Nights and Spike Time Youth Volleyball Leagues, which are popular as well. Our senior programs overall are doing great. Lunch, Coffee, Grocery program. Those are all remain consistent and very popular. Some of our classes are seeing some more increased attendance, so, as well as our dances are as well. Senior Mobility program continues to be very popular. That program is running Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. It transports seniors within the city. And during this time, it was going three miles outside of Y erba Linda for a $2 fare. Our senior art show reception is always a popular event at the community center. It was held on November 5th. It featured artwork from students at the senior art classes . The show was juried by members of the Yerba Linda Arts Alliance. And then winning artists were invited to showcase their pieces at the gallery at the Culture Arts Center. And so we had 27 pieces being shown there. The Virginia DeLand Theater at the Culture Arts Center. We had performances of Into the Woods and Little Women, which drew over 1,700 attendees and generated 57,000 revenue. With both productions receiving award nominations from the OC Theater Guild. Our letter to Santa program hit a milestone with 500 personalized letters delivered to kids. So our department elves were very creative and busy during that time of year. Our contract classes continue to remain pretty popular and consistent. We had over 192,000 in revenue. And our participation numbers increased primarily because we are starting to have players in our adult sports leagues actually register on the online site rather than just the managers. So they saw increase in participation there. So from a facility standpoint, we had several maintenance and improvement projects that were completed. We did tree trimming, roof work at City Hall, and upgrade to various facilities. And the facility rentals remain consistent and popular with total revenue of 219,569 bookings. So in summary, it was a great end of the year. And if the commissioners have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them for you. Any questions, Mark? No questions, but comment. Just reading through it, I appreciate you guys putting in information about maintenance and structure and some of the pruning and stuff like that. It's not just about recreation. I know you guys take care of the parks, which are beautiful , as always. And I know we have to take care of our maintenance, especially when it comes to some of the funding that we have to take care of that we help guide and that you guys comment and remark about some of the updates. So I appreciate what you guys kind of give some of the updates that you put in there. I think it's important when we advocate for some of the funding because that helps maintain the structures and infrastructure. So I appreciate the updates that you put in there. That's it. But great report. Busy as always. I think Commissioner Hamilton is right that it's not always the most snazzy part of the presentation, but certainly critically important and what gives us the great facilities to do all those fun activities. But it's always fun to see. I am never like it just ceases to amaze me the diversity of the programs we have from the senior socials to the, you know, the mommy and me. I mean, we literally cover every group imaginable in this city. And I think that's something that all the staff should be proud of. So great report. Are there any public comments on the staff report? Seeing none. We can receive and file that report. And then next we will move to matters presented by staff. The, sorry, presented by, Love Your Belinda, presented by Director Kudron. You got that right? I think it's the spring registration. Oh, sorry. That's okay. Spring registration and programs. He just didn't want to like yield the mic to you yet. So we're going to hang on to it. Spring registration and programs. We're right into it. Yes. Sorry. That's okay. Thank you again, commissioners. Just a quick update on some of our registration for spring and then some programs that are already passed and then some upcoming ones. Our spring registration began February 11th and to date we received about 2,900 registrations with a revenue of 219, 000 with 80% of those transactions being completed online. In comparison to last spring, those numbers are comparable. Again, the participation numbers are off a little because of the adult sports that were players that we're having them enroll in online. So currently at the gallery at the culture arts center, we 're featuring the exhibit pop goes the culture. So that's going through June 5th. There's some amazing pieces of art over there. So if you get a chance to swing by, check it out. That program continues to grow every exhibit with more and more submissions. So Val and her team are doing a great job at the art center . We had two of our flashlight egg hunts. Sorry, two of our egg hunts. The first was the flashlight egg hunt held on the Friday, April 3rd. That program runs amazing with 250 participants registered. It's for seven to 13 year old children and they hunt for eggs in the dark out at the field house in Herles Barton Park. So that's great. And then the next day following morning, we had our 41st annual egg excitement hunt, which we anticipate about 3,000 people coming. There's four hunt zones. We have a petting zoo, inflatables, carnival games, and that's for ages two to nine. And that was a great time. One of the new things we introduced this spring, which was kind of last minute, but we've been brainstorming it. We did a bunny with pictures with the bunny offerings the week before, and we held that a couple days and that was pretty good for its first run. So we're looking to continue to do that in the future. We're hopeful that maybe that reduces the bunny line at the egg hunt, but that the egg hunts free. The bunny pictures is a low cost and we still had a good attendance. So the next comedy night at the Virginia Dental Land Theater is coming up. It's on Saturday, April 25th. So you can check that out. Tickets are still available. The kids' community swap meet. This is one of our more popular events. We have 70 vendors that are selling toys, games, sports equipment, clothing, and more. And people continue to call and they want vendor spots. But we are maxed out and we're just now advocating for people to come shop and buy all these people's stuff. So that's at May 30th at the community center. Again, the culture arts center is going to be hosting murder on the Orient Express, which is done by Alchemy Theater Company. That's going to be May 8th through the 17th. So tickets are on sale now and they're looking like strong sales already. Throughout this year we're doing various theming in recognition of the America 250. So a couple of events we have coming up. The senior dance on May 1st and our kids' night out on May 22nd are going to be themed around the America 250. So those participants will have a good time. Our quarterly Encore event, which is for the younger seniors, is going to be held at Exodus Escape Room on Tuesday, May 26th. And that has had pretty good participation. We extend the time the participants could get out because it could be a little bit more. No, I'm just kidding. No, they have a good time and then they go to pizza at Out of the Park Pizza. So, and our staff helped them through the process. So Puzzlepalooza April 24th at the Art Center. We have 13 teams. This event always sells out. We're trying to coordinate to try to get more. But this is a competition of who can put the puzzle together the fastest. And these people love it and they're just dedicated. They come back every time. So, and then our spring swim lessons began on April 6th at Heritage Oak Private School. Lessons are running Mondays and Wednesdays and Tuesdays and Thursdays for two sessions. The first one started April 6th. It goes through the 30th. And then May 4th through the 28th. And then we'll continue with our summer swim lessons up at Yorba Linda High School starting in, I think, late June. So, that concludes my report. And happy to answer any questions you may have. Any questions by commissioners? All right. Let me throw a report. Now he's going to let you speak. Love Yorba Linda Report presented by Director Kadron. Thank you. Just a quick update. Love Yorba Linda is coming up. It's going to be on Saturday, April 25th. This is a community-wide volunteer day where everyone, including city government, businesses, residents, churches, service groups, and sports organizations come together, unite, and serve our community through volunteer projects. We start the day with a big rally at Hurlough Spartan Park. That will begin at 8:00 AM. And then that's followed up with volunteer projects throughout Yorba Linda until around noon. The Parks and Recreation Department will have four projects that we'll be assisting with. The Public Works Department also has some projects. But our biggest is the Paxton Equestrian Center, brush clearing and painting. And we'll have up to 150 volunteers at that location. We'll be planting some bushes, shrubs, and ground cover at a Royal Park. That will have up to 35 volunteers. We have a tree planting project at Dominguez Trailside Park . We'll be planting 12 trees. And that's for, we anticipate 15 to 20 volunteers. And lastly, we have a Think a Hero project at YLCC. And we can take up to 75 volunteers, perhaps even more there. And that's for six years old and up. So, hope to see you there. And that concludes my report. And how do people sign up for this if they have not done so already? They can go to the website at Love Yorba Linda. I don't know the exact website, but if you Google it, it'll come right up. Thank you. Any other questions by commissioners? Yeah. Just a comment about Love Yorba Linda. Thank you for pitching it tonight. It's April 25th. And then I encourage everyone to volunteer. It's such a lovely event. This year, the t-shirts are going to be red, white, and blue as a tribute to the 250-year celebration of our country. And I always like pitching the parks projects because of the Parks and Rec Commission. But actually, this year, we really need help with the schools. So, we will be doing front cleanup at the schools. And we have about 12 locations. And we're still looking for volunteers for most of the schools. So, if you don't want to do a parks project, then please sign up to help out at the schools and let your friends know. And I wanted to thank Commissioner Battaglia for continuing to be a project leader. I know that you were out there at the leadership training and you always serve the Love Yorba Linda event. So, thank you to you. Thank you so much. So, this is many years in a row now that I've been participating in Love Yorba Linda, but I can't say enough great things about the program. It's awesome. Come one, come all. I will be leading the Travis Ranch School project. I've done it the last few years. My kids go there, so I figured let's make it look pretty. But no, it's a great project. We get a great turnout. I think ours filled up within days and I actually just asked them to open it up for possibly some more volunteers. But it's a great way to bond. I love the Thank a Hero piece too. I'm glad you brought that up because that's kind of a new fun addition too that, you know, kids and all can get involved with. But the whether it's mulching or just cleaning up the campus, it goes a very long way. And I can tell you the school administration really appreci ates it. I also volunteer on campuses. I'm the lead watchdog. Dog stands for Dads of Great Students Dogs. And I rolled a program out to Travis Ranch. I've done it at Fairmont, Linda Vista and others around our school district. You know, just to put more dads, father figures on campus goes a long way and it helps out the staff, you know, quite a bit. So I'm on campus maybe more than your average dad, but that 's where I want to be. It's a great break from the day job. But anyway, back to love your Belinda. Can't say enough great things about the program. And I hope to see you and your friends and family there. Thanks. All right, we're going to move on to the next report, our CDBG update by Director Cudron. Yes, thank you. This is about our senior nutrition program. And starting on Monday, April 6th, we had to start collecting proof of citizenship from participants in the senior nutrition program. This requirement is based on new federal regulations that mandate verification of lawful residency for participants in programs funded through community development block grant, in which those are federal funds. So we evaluated whether the CDBG funds could be reassigned to other eligible programs to avoid introducing this requirement. One of the reasons we were unsure at the beginning if our seniors would be able to find the required documents, birth certificate, passports, or even have those. But we weren't able to find another general fund eligible alternative. So the only remaining option would be to redirect the CDBG funds towards miscellaneous ADA projects, which are typically funded through our capital improvement program. But unfortunately, that would create a $40,000 shortfall in the general budget. But I'm happy to report that we've begun collecting this information and it's actually been going relatively smoothly. And our participants have been happy to supply the needed documents. Another good thing is we only need to collect the information for the percentage of people that are in our program versus a percentage of funding we get through the federal government or through CDBG funds and then offset by our general fund here. So it's going well and everyone's still receiving meals and we have not been receiving any complaints to date. So, but a big change and wanted to update the commission on that. Any questions or comments on that? All right, then we're going to pass the mic back for our wall of fame update presented by Superintendent Ruth. Thank you again. Just a quick update on our wall of fame program. It's our athletic achievement recognition and for those people that aren't aware of the program. It's a program to honor exceptional athletic accomplishments by individual athletes or teams in Yerba Linda and outstanding contributions by athletic organizations. So we have a nomination period that nomination period closed. We received two nominations. So our designated commissioners will be joining us in the next couple of weeks. We'll set a meeting for you guys to attend and we can discuss those nominations. As we reported in the past, we've have a Mickey Diamond who 's already been selected to be on the wall. And our wall of fame date will be August 22nd. It's a Saturday. So we'll continue to remind you. And as it gets closer, we will sell it, send invitations out to the commissioners and city council. And then staff and the commissioners will have an update for the commission at our next meeting after our wall of fame committee meeting. So happy to answer any questions that commissioners may have. Questions? All right. You're getting off too easy, I think tonight, but we'll keep moving on. Director's report next to the director's report with director. Thank you. I have three items tonight. So just wanted to apologize for last month. We had to cancel the meeting at the last minute, unfortunately due to a threat at city hall. The sheriff's department investigated and later determined the threat was not credible, but anywhere out of an abundance of caution, we ended up canceling the meeting that night. So unfortunately, one of the items that was on the agenda was a state funding request. And due to the state deadline, we couldn't wait till this meeting to talk about it. So staff got together and reviewed the projects and we selected a replacement of the Travis Ranch youth park playground equipment. And we submitted that request to the office of assembly member Philip Chen. The request was for $650,000. And the proposed project aligns strongly with California goals related to youth health, equity, accessibility and public safety. The playground equipment at Travis Ranch youth park is now 27 years old. And we're going to need to replace that in the near future anyway. As we've been notified by the manufacturer that replacement parts will no longer be available in the coming years. So that's what we submitted. As a staff, we felt that was the best project and didn't really have any downside. Like I said, we're going to need to do that anyway. The other projects that were proposed by staff had some, had both pros and cons. And this one, the only con on it is replacement projects aren't really highly valued for these grants. And so I don't know if it's going to jump to the top. But regardless, it's a needed project and it would be a good project. So we'll keep our fingers crossed. And the staff over at assembly member Chen's office were excited about our application. So that was good news from the start. And so we'll let you know if, if we receive those funds. And then just an update on fee adjustments. As you probably remember, the commission recommended fee adjustments last July. These fees are part of the larger citywide fee study. And unfortunately that's been held up. But it's now ready to move forward to city council. We think it's going to go in May for consideration. And I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that it had been delayed, but it will be coming to council very soon. And then lastly, if you have not submitted them yet, the commissioners are required to submit their 700 forms due to the city clerk. And that concludes the director's report today. Thank you. Any questions? All right. Next we move to matters presented by the commission. Anybody like to go first? All at once. It's been a long day, right? Nobody has any? Go ahead. No, I just, the love Yorba Linda took my breath away literally. So I have nothing else to report on. Thanks. Just for me, like on a personal note, I feel so sad because my children have aged out of the flashlight egg hunt. And so now we'll be moving on to like the teenage programs and the young adult programs. And as it was mentioned earlier tonight, like Yorba Linda supports a multi-generational grouping of programs. So all the way from like toddlers all the way to the end of life to seniors. And so what a great place to grow up. And so I think that's a great place to be able to do that. And I think that's a great place to be able to do that. And I think that's a great place to be able to do that. And I think that's a great place to be able to do that. And I think that's a great place to be able to do that. And I think that's a great place to be able to do that. And I think that's a great place to be able to do that. And I think that's a great place to be able to do that. And I'm really looking forward to participating. Yeah, I know. I completely agree. And I love the reports of the teenagers getting involved now. So they've benefited from the programs and now they get to give back and help out. So that's great. I do not have anything else for agenda building or announcements. Anybody else? Last call? Okay. Then I think we're going to move to adjournment. And the meeting is now adjourned at 19:10 for those of you still on military time. And the next regularly scheduled Parks and Rec Commission meeting is May 21st, 2026. Thank you.
