I ' m right here today as a representative of Jacob ' s Heart Children ' s Cancer cells Support Services. And also whereas throughout the continuous COVID-19 crisis, Jacob'' s Heart Children ' s Cancer Support Provider has actually been keeping medically vulnerable children as well as families-, and households housed, fed, and also emotionally supported by steadfastly sticking to the following dedications: Moms and dads of children with cancer and also various other serious diseases are eliminated of financial worries and also able to focus attention on their kids; no child undertaking extensive therapy in our area will be homeless; and also families of seriously sick youngsters will certainly not experience food insecurity during and also after the pandemic; as well as no seriously unwell youngster in our area will ever before miss a medical appointment due to the fact that of lack of transportation.And whereas Jacob ' s Heart Children ' s Cancer Assistance Solutions holds the memories as well as honors the heritages of hundreds of kids from our neighborhood community that have been lost to cancer cells. The council obtained a record from the city'' s attorney ' s workplace on one thing of substantial exposure to lawsuits, as well as there was no reportable activity.
I ' m right here today as a rep of Jacob ' s Heart Children ' s Cancer Assistance Solutions. As well as whereas during the ongoing COVID-19 dilemma, Jacob'' s Heart Children ' s Cancer cells Support Services has actually been keeping medically vulnerable children as well as families-, and also family members housed, fed, and also mentally supported by steadfastly sticking to the adhering to dedications: Moms and dads of kids with cancer and various other major illnesses are eased of financial worries and also able to focus interest on their kids; no youngster going through extensive therapy in our community will be homeless; as well as family members of seriously sick children will not experience food insecurity throughout and also after the pandemic; and also no seriously ill youngster in our community will certainly ever miss a clinical visit since of lack of transportation.And whereas Jacob ' s Heart Children ' s Cancer Support Providers holds the memories and also honors the heritages of hundreds of youngsters from our local neighborhood that have been shed to cancer cells. Whereas the Oncology Department of Lucile Packard Kid'' s Healthcare facility at Stanford has actually worked very closely with Jacob'' s Heart Kid ' s Cancer Assistance Providers for the previous 24 years as a trusted community companion in supplying family-centered treatment that resolves the emotional, functional, and monetary battles of families as well as kids with cancer cells. Well, I don'' t know if it ' s. The council obtained a record from the city'' s lawyer ' s office on one item of considerable direct exposure to lawsuits, as well as there was no reportable activity.- It ' s difficult to fo-, it ' s tough to follow Principal Golder there but I just want to, um, I simply want to echo and also claim how much I value functioning with my colleagues in the City School ' s Area and actually desiring to encourage my fellow citizens in sustaining these, , these two bond actions. And also in reality, I ' m actually thrilled to state that we are really working right currently, I ' m functioning with a master ' s trainee on a consumption-based inventory, which was slated for some time in the following five years but, um, had the ideal master ' s student who wanted to do the ideal task. I ' ll reveal you much more on how we ' re going to get there.
– It ' s difficult to fo-, it ' s hard to follow Principal Golder there yet I just want to, , I simply desire to claim and also echo just how much I value functioning with my associates in the City School ' s District as well as truly desiring to motivate my fellow residents in sustaining these, , these 2 bond actions. Now, you ' re a participant of the sustainability group, but really, that ' s simply indicated to acknowledge your management and also assistance of climate action, and I love that you all just put them on. Truly, the vision that we created iteratively over this time, and also I ' m just, I ' m not going to review all these slides. And in truth, I ' m actually delighted to say that we are really working right now, I ' m functioning with a master ' s student on a consumption-based inventory, which was slated for some time in the next five years but, um, had the ideal master ' s trainee who desired to do the ideal project. I ' ll reveal you more on just how we ' re going to obtain there.You can see, um, at the 2030 right below, we'' ve obtained our CEQA target, as well as then we have by 2035 at, uh, we have our carbon neutrality target at zero.One various other
comment that we heard during, uh, the public review of this draft is that it kind of made it look like we were waiting up until 2030 before we really did steep in radical decreases. Which actually was, uh, sort of an, uh, we made a bad move and also exactly how we, maybe, showed that since that was not the intent. And so, this grey line reveals you what it appears like getting to carbon neutral by 2035. We really require to be operating closer to that 85,000-86,000 metric tons. We need to be actually functioning to that if we'' re going to make carbon neutral by 2035. Okay. As well as this is simply another method to believe concerning that. On the leading chart that I have below is what'' s called mass discharges, so all the exhausts in
the community.But we'' re additionally, um, bringing forward the target around per capita, so per person exhausts, which aids us to account for populace development, and also, um, much better allows us to achieve our target since if we have a mass influx of individuals, we might not be able to get to that mass discharges target. Therefore, you can see right here, , you recognize, what we need to do on know an each degree. In order to get to the 2030 CEQA target, we need to obtain to 2.74 metric tons, uh, per capita per individual, uh, of carbon as well as after that absolutely no at 2035 for our voluntary target. Um, so, what do we have in this climate activity strategy? Well, we have 152, uh, activities. As well as these activities really, um, need to-, they are created to resolve in addition to strike an equilibrium across 6 crucial pillars. Obviously, greenhouse gas emissions is vital. While that is the major goal of this plan, we also recognize that we can utilize this strategy to have even more better outcomes in public health and a number of various industries which I will share with you in a moment.So greenhouse gas emissions decrease, , architectural and business change, of training course, um, equity partnerships, business economics, and also financing and financing. So, where are we going to make these reductions? Um, I additionally provided this, uh, at our research study session, uh, in March and also these are the locations where we need to make reductions. Once more, uh, electrical automobiles as well as electrical buildings, and renewable resource are really for the CEQA target, or the CEQA industries are actually our most significant bang right currently. They are the locations where we have the most possibility to make decreases. As well as I intend to emphasize that while through Central Coast Neighborhood Energy, where that'' s truly mosting likely to aid us with those 2 markets, we are not deserting rooftop solar. It is simply as crucial. And we call out at least 3 actions in the plan to sustain renewables.I understand that ' s something that'the neighborhood has been interested in. Um, naturally, waste decrease, , water effectiveness, and also that really does come, uh, to being energy use, right? The much less water that we make use of, the less power we need to pump and also treat it. Public transport, which is one more area where we obtained a lot of remark. We wear'' t have a huge mode-share that we have the ability to really probably attain. We just show a 1% boost in public transport by 2030 for the CEQA-qualified plan. However I'' m thrilled to state that considering that the draft strategy appeared in June, it seems like there is a great deal of sychronisation and discussion regarding actually speeding up around public transportation both with City and also the RTC. I'' m very motivated because I think that'' s the opportunity for us to really draw down as well as obtain to carbon neutral. As well as we do have in the plan activities around supporting young people, uh, bus passes etc, all kinds of points, 152 activities. We do have carbon sequestration there. It isn'' t component of the state scoping strategy however it may be quickly. We do have activities related to that, although we have not yet quantified them.So, what I'' m revealing below is, exactly how do we get to that CEQA target? You can see, these are the actions that we really are able to measure that have strong technological and lawful basis to them. As well as that'' s extremely vital for us to show. Um, so you see, I will aim out BE2 which is Existing Building Electrification. As you know, you embraced an all-natural gas prohibition 2 years ago which has, uh, been going really extremely well. In regards to existing structure electrification, we actually are looking at, um, a phased technique gradually. But it is necessary that we start in 2030. It'' s likely … And incidentally, we'' re dealing with our existing building electrification roadmap today. And we'' ll be giving you a draft strategy at the start of the year to attempt to, you know, sort of examination, where should we start with this? Um, what we'' re reasoning is that we'' ll take an identical pass with both voluntary incentivized, um, [clicks tongue] uh, existing structure electrification. The Division of Power Weatherization Assistance Program give, we just got 2 million bucks with Watsonville to electrify and make healthy and balanced, uh, houses in low-income homes.So, we ' re
going to be able to take care of mold and mildew removal in the coastline apartments as well as electrify at the exact same time. So, one path with incentivized volunteer and also then another path with phased implementation, points like time of, uh, time of authorization replacement. As well as so we'' ll be bringing that to you again, uh, in January. And also as you can see below, we are able to reach our target with the activities that we have actually established. I assume it'' s likewise vital below to highlight what the high-impact activities are since everything I'' ve simply revealed you actually just accounts for those, um, states scoping strategy sectors.And right here ' s where we ' re truly bringing in some of those various other points that aren'' t quantified, things like minimizing air travel, eating even more plant-based meals, , and the solar-, installing solar. These are the ones that we'' re actually going to be, um, stressing in our community involvement which we'' re going to do really strongly over the next 4 months. As well as I have some more on that particular momentarily. So, in terms of the CAP actions with co-benefits, I currently mentioned that we know that discharges decrease has various other co-benefits. And I'' m showing here what percentage of the 152 activities associate with or sustain all the various co-benefits from neighborhood health to strength as well as neighborhood environment-friendly jobs in addition to restoration.I likewise want to claim, and I was surprised when I saw this figure that 91 %of our activities support our Health as well as All Plans neighborhood well-being end result signs. Who would have understood? No, we understand, best? [giggles] At any rate, um, you know that, that-, once again, stressing the demand for this, uh, nexus, this work with this nexus between public health and wellness equity as well as sustainability. In regards to tasks, we are projecting that by 2030, simply in developing electrification, energetic transportation, and also EV fostering, over 2,000 work will be created. That belonged to our, uh, our eco-friendly, uh, economy analysis started throughout Councilmember Myer'' s mayorship. And now, let'' s speak about the, uh, environmental review process.So, we did prepare a first research study, negative affirmation, uh, Rincon Consultants did. As well as via that process, they ended that the application of the CAP as well as its list, which I ' ll share with you next,'would not result in potentially considerable effect on the setting. We did, , distribute the, , the IS/ND for a month, um, over-, between July and August. Um, we did not … We just got one letter, it was from Caltrans in assistance of the strategy. Um, [clicks tongue] uh, yeah, to ensure that'' s the uh, preliminary research study neg dec. What this additionally allows us to do is this certified, CEQA Certified CAP can be utilized for tiering and enhancing discharges evaluation in future CEQA task like growth project assessments. And so what we were able to do, so it'' s type of a win-win.'We ' re able to obtain truly solid, , uh, low-carbon structures yet at the exact same time, offer whoever'' s stepping forward for the permit as more structured environmental process.So if they meet the uniformity list that we'' ve created, they wouldn ' t have to go via a more strenuous environmental evaluation procedure. It'' s really a win-win. In terms of the public review comments, … [ gets rid of throat] I'' m-, So, we received 542 discuss our draft strategy while it was open during the month of June. We summarized them or right into motifs, and also what I'' m sharing with you are truly the top themes, so the motifs that got perhaps 10 or even more comments. The discharges projection had an error in it and also so a great deal of individuals selected that up, and we clearly dealt with that. We had 33 remarks on that. Public transportation, I'' ve already discussed, people desire us to go harder. We do have actually restricted influence on public transport. Nonetheless, we have board members on the companies, as I stated, however, it, it feels like there'' s some momentum there and also we recognize that, , with the federal framework and also individual retirement account, there'' s mosting likely to be heaps of money.So I believe that we are getting positioned for that. [clicks tongue] In regards to EV facilities, individuals desired to see even more EV infrastructure. Once again, I reached provide a shout-out to our energy department who simply replaced all of our EV chargers in the city, , [clicks tongue] however we do have lots of actions in the strategy concerning EV facilities. On car parking, we had numerous comments on, um, equivalent, uh, talk about, “” Hey, we wear'' t desire you to lower car parking” or “” Hey, you must truly lower vehicle parking.”” So, obviously, we'' re gon na resolve those tensions when it pertains to ordinance growth around that. [clicks tongue] Um, on application, I believe, people did not understand that we had an actually solid execution appendix that was related to the plan.Um, and also we also have a funding as well as financing matrix that will help us for every action to find the funding to implement the plan. Folks were concerned regarding composting however I believe that was simply perhaps a misconception due to the fact that we don'' t do composting in the city. We take our food scraps to the, uh, wastewater treatment plant, and they, uh, the methane that comes off is used for electrical power. So I believe there was just, uh, some misconception. People really intend to see ecological remediation. We do have a great deal in our plan connected to that and also after that we had 11 talk about plant-based diet regimens, which we do have three actions in the strategy for the neighborhood in addition to numerous activities internally for our municipality.And we additionally, as I said, actually type of reorganized the plant to highlight these points that weren ' t in the core, um, scoping markets, uh, that are evaluated currently. Okay, virtually throughout here. Liability. We have some existing as well as some brand-new liability tools that we ' ve put in location, every little thing from tools and training to normal conferences. I wan na point out that we are going to be starting a brand brand-new application companions ' round table to really aid' us with the application since we understand the city can ' t do it alone? We don ' t have control over everything,'as well as it ' s gon na take everybody on this strategy, along with some yearly tasks related, you recognize, to, , being clear, offering to the community, also, you know, as, uh, global disclosures like the Carbon Disclosure Project of which we'' ve had an 8 or an A-rating.I believe we'' re mosting likely to have an An once more this year, um, [clicks tongue] for several years. We likewise are gon na be introducing in the next 3 months a sustainability dashboard at the internet site. And also we have a tool that our consultants have actually provided to us that will allow us to track both our progress on the intend on each procedure in addition to our funding that we need as well as the financing. Um, [clicks tongue] We will be working to develop, you recognize, what is the ideal method to show the info that individuals are interested in.And after that internally, we'' ll be straining team on utilizing this device for their own purposes and to assist track and really institutionalize this throughout the company. Okay. As I claimed, everybody in the community truly does have a duty in the CAP 2030. Um, as I stated, we are going to be beginning this new neighborhood of Execution Partner Round Table and, you recognize, offering some devices for individuals or houses. I'' m gon na share extra on that in a moment. What I ' m revealing below is our municipal three-year execution strategy, as well as there'' s two slides of this. I'' m not gon na review all of this however there are 20 particular tasks that we are, have already started, or we are mosting likely to be correcting the next three years. The bolded teal ones are the high-impact actions.So the ones that obtain us the most discharges decreases. So you can see gradually when we ' ll be working with those. Like'I stated, some have currently been started and also which departments are accountable for those. I ' ll show you also the next one too.'There ' s, there ' s quite a little bit below'that we have committed to, and also I ' m really happy to state that I got, I believe the, the ideal praise from one of my colleagues at another city who stated, “” I can'' t think what you guys are bringing forward for your neighborhood government implementation.”” So, congratulations to, um our personnel, our division heads, as well as you all for actually … This is, this is a strong municipal job strategy. [clicks tongue] I think it'' s additionally essential to explain we'' ve made a great deal of progression on grants in simply this year. I think, you know, through Central Coastline Power Providers, we'' re already functioning on our Fleet Electrification Roadmap, bringing with each other a whole lot of items that we'' ve currently done into one cohesive implementable plan.Um, we likewise … I discussed currently both million for the environment-friendly as well as healthy and balanced house effort, um, we'' re getting provided tomorrow our mobile solar panel EV tools charger at the library car park great deal at 8:00 am. [click tongue] We likewise, once more, this is with, uh, ecology action and also my coworkers around the Monterey Bay. We'' ve simply funded a collection of meetings with frontline groups, justice groups on, and compensated them to comprehend how can we enable people to bait climate as well as make certain that their requirements are addressed. As well as so that'' s virtually, uh, total. We have our last meeting tomorrow on that. We have 250,000 for E-refuse vehicles as well as we have an additional 400,000 pending in gives for other sturdy electrified equipment.Um, we have-, we ' ve developed a regional climate project functioning group with other Monterey Bay, um, jurisdictions, , that all brought money together as well as we got a give from Central Shore Energy Solutions so that we can compete together for environment financing that perhaps little Santa Cruz can'' t compete as well on taking on LA. We simply worked with two professionals for that. [clicks tongue] Um, I ha-, I have really a lot of high hopes and expectations for that working group.Um … [clicks tongue] And afterwards lastly, and this, I need to say this grant progress is not all-encompassing. You recognize, I understand transport and also public works has actually gotten a great deal. This is simply what I recognize now. Um, we likewise have the Pack Terminal North Internet Positive Resistant All-electric Cost Effective Real estate at 1.8 million that we got from the California Energy Payment. As you can see, we have actually ramped up our efforts for funding and we will certainly proceed to do so. We simply employed internally four grant writing companies to assist citywide yet climate is most definitely a focus there. Okay, rounding it out. Right here'' s my phone call to activity for all of you as well as for everybody in our community, everybody in our target market. We need to activate and also we are releasing as component of a 6-county initiative a system called Resilient Santa Cruz, and you can see the link at the end of the screen.
[clicks tongue] Um, this is a platform that will allow individuals to understand what is their carbon impact and also what are the actions they can require to reduce it on a per-person or per-household basis. So it'' s actually very easy. You create an account, kind or join a team. A huge aspect of this is signing up with a group, having that affordable component. We already have some wonderful rewards aligned that we'' re going to introduce challenges over the next couple of months to really obtain people to involve with this. We have an interactions intern that'' s gon na be committed to introducing this over the next four months, functioning with the ecology action who'' s additionally supplying communications support as well as truly is the entity that brought this together. We began talking regarding this three years ago that we truly need more than just a truth sheet to hand individuals? , so individuals can discover their effect. You can see on the appropriate hand side what that looks like for whoever took this, their beginning point was a 4.1 metric heap carbon impact each year.We recognize that our objective is to obtain to 2.74, I showed you that in a slide, to get to our CEQA target. But if we wan na get to carbon neutral, we really need to be functioning in the direction of 1.32 by 2030. Now, the important things to keep in mind here is if you have an actually high exhausts result that'' s over the Santa Cruz average, which is about 8 heaps, you possibly need to be minimizing a bit much more, right? Since that'' s the average per capita discharges reduction.And if you have less than 8.4, possibly you don ' t have to function so hard at it,'? So find your influence, create a plan, and also select your activities and also track and also do something about it. This is what the touchdown web page looks like. It is totally personalized for us. It has all the discounts, all the incentives, all the information on every little thing we'' re doing in a one-stop shop below. Um, this is where we'' re gon na be issuing obstacles. You do see Watsonville City staff, that'' s since there ' s somebody that resides in Santa Cruz however is on a group in Watsonville, to ensure that'' s just how it
functions. [clicks tongue] And after that below ' s just how you assess, which actions do I want to pick? What'' s wonderful concerning this is there ' s something for everybody. If you ' re a tenant, you can click the occupant switch. It reveals you the actions that are -, that, you recognize, you could wan na take into consideration that are customized. There'' s family-friendly ones, there'' s ones, uh, for if you'' re on a budget or if you wan na do a fast increase. Actually, it'' s very easy to browse, uh, to help you to figure out what do I wan na commit to? As well as it reveals you the degree of initiative, just how much you may conserve doing so, and afterwards there'' s factors linked with it.Okay, so my obstacle to every person today that'' s listening is to sign up for this platform. Please, since it'' s gon na take individuals signing up in that interaction for us to truly reach these targets. Okay, we go to completion below. Here'' s our recommendation, as it'' s consisted of, um, in the schedule report. I do wan na keep in mind that we are going from a 10-year upgrade to a five-year upgrade of our environment activity strategy. And also next time we do so, it will be a consolidated plan with our adaptation plan. As I stated, we'' re preparing yourself to roll right into the adaptation plan and really, we'' re gon na be bringing these with each other in the following cycle. So I'' m truly delighted to take any kind of inquiries that you might have at this moment. Thanks.
[applause] – Thank you a lot, Tiffany Wisewest. Um, extremely useful. Uh, thank you for highlighting every little thing we'' ve done so much and also where we'' re at, specifically with the grants and the financing. Such a vital elements to this. I will open it up to my coworkers for concerns. Um, I did wish to simply raise a couple of inquiries got through e-mail, , just regarding problem of affordability a few of these activities might take. That website to enroll in an account, um, I'' m delighted to inspect it out and also to see just how straightforward it is. I'' m pleased to listen to there'' s different parts, , yet can you talk to the price of the strategy? – Absolutely. This was something that was seriously vital for us as we were, , establishing the plan.I stated as well as I didn'' t go into a great deal of information about the equity testing tool however one of the thoughtful concepts that we had going right into this plan is that we would not approve any action that would certainly trigger damaging impacts on frontline underrepresented and underserved communities. And if there was an activity when we underwent the screening process which was rather substantial, , if it was found to be that we had any type of activities that did, , include unfavorable impacts like expenses, for instance, we require to customize the activity or we needed to create an action that minimized that. There'' s one various other thing I wan na mention, however, is that with regard to developing electrification, um, I know that price is a concern there, we'' re all worried regarding energy.I mean, what ' s
taking place? I think on an international, um, uh, scene is actually, highlights our demand to obtain off fossil gas? That this cost problem is not so widespread. With respect to existing building electrification, any type of plans that we bring ahead that transform our community code must come with a cost-effectiveness study. It'' s needed by the state. That is a crucial function that the state puts in place to make certain that you'' re not putting something that'' s going to boost costs extensively. And as I claimed, we understand that people aren'' t gon na be able to do it on their own. A great deal of folks aren'' t, as well as that ' s why we ' re going hard on bringing in the grant so that we can cover the price 100% sometimes and also then incentivize in other cases. – Thank you. I think one even more question I'' ll raise as well as after that I'' ll open it up.Um, in regards to the electrification, I know, um, a number of members of the neighborhood are worried about power failures and also, um, not rather understanding exactly how that would work if every little thing was electrified. Can you speak to that? – I absolutely can. This was something, , that we additionally, uh, discussed, uh, with the Natural Gas Prohibition.
On the top graph that I have below is what'' s called mass exhausts, so all the emissions in
the community.But we'' re also, um, bringing onward the target around per capita, so per individual exhausts, which helps us to account for population growth, and, , better allows us to accomplish our target due to the fact that if we have a mass increase of individuals, we may not be able to reach that mass exhausts target. We ' re able to obtain actually solid, um, uh, low-carbon structures but at the very same time, offer whoever'' s coming ahead for the authorization as more streamlined ecological process.So if they fulfill the uniformity checklist that we'' ve developed, they wouldn ' t have to go via a more tough ecological review process. You can see over time when we ' ll be working on those. What'' s terrific concerning this is there ' s something for everybody. A whole lot of individuals aren'' t, and also that ' s why we ' re going hard on bringing in the give so that we can cover the expense 100% in some instances and after that incentivize in various other cases.There are some points to realize about, , uh, natural gas devices. Newer ovens call for electrical ignition. Um, so as well as electric-, so you can'' t utilize an all-natural gas cooktop throughout a power outage unless you have an older cooktop. – Or a battery. [target market babble] – However … – You-, Allow'' s claim in a safe sort of means with utilizing the ignition.The various other point is that, , electrical power is brought online quicker than gas. Um, we also-, I must have put this slide in due to the fact that we have a number of points on this. Um, and afterwards I also just wan na factor to the safety and security aspect of having gas in the house. So there are-, The safety piece is massive. We understand that indoor air quality, uh, in 40% of houses does not meet outdoor air quality standards.We wear ' t have indoor air top quality requirements, , as well as, but in houses that have all-natural gas stoves, they would certainly not meet exterior air top quality criteria. So they'' re several of the factors why, , public safety power turned off. Certainly, um, it may be a worry, however you know, there'' s, there ' s some pros and also disadvantages with this.-As well as, , is that details likewise on the city web site? – Yes, it is. Um, I can supply a link later on to our gas prohibition that actually has a slide that discusses this. – And exists details on that particular web link web site you offered to create an account, and when you choose actions, does it have accompanying details that would be advantageous for the user to … – Absolutely, it does. And also it does link to our structure electrification web page where that information can be found. – Perfect. – Yes. – Thanks. – You'' re welcome. – Okay, do any of my colleagues have questions? Councilmember Golder? – I do, and also it is about that because I am truly worried and also I don'' t understand about the remainder of the room however I have actually put solar on two residences in Santa Cruz with batteries as well as two houses in Santa Cruz.And what makes
me feel great to get most of my electrical energy, you know, from sustainable resource. The truth is, I also think about the atmosphere impact of those batteries and the 10-year lifespan of those Tesla powerwalls I just purchased for $30,000 and also the impact that it causes in developing nation … – Oh, my God. Close up. – … for developing nation where they'' re mining the minerals as well as where is that gon na enter ten years and also what garbage dump is that battery gon na go? And to the target market participant'' s factor, my gas stove does transform on and also does spark with the battery in case of power outage.It ' s readied to that. You understand what I mean? So, it is all secure, able to run with the follower, there'' s particular home appliances, right? And afterwards I think concerning back, um, when we had the, my very first meeting when we had the electrification statute where I was really not in favor because I do know that the majority -, not a majority yet a substantial amount of power that'' s on our terrific grid is coming from the gas power plant down in Moss Landing. Therefore, like, while I'' m in support of renewable resource, that is not our fact at this moment and I seem like, [clicks tongue] , this is, you know, a little, in my opinion, it feels like we'' re patting ourselves on the back in, in, uh, this in-, As well as I recognize that there'' s state legis -, road state'laws that we ' re aiming to fulfill and I agree that we need to attempt to get there.But I am-, I do have severe concerns because even in our last remodel that we just did, I went with the city'' s eco-friendly building checklist as well as I acquired the devices right off the list and the most effective way to heat your house was with a combo radiant floor gas, hot water heater, tankless water heating system for heating the floor and heating up the residence. I just bought it. Intended to last 30 years, right? Like, therefore now you'' re saying like, “” Oh, sorry, Renée, as well as various other individuals that just invested tons of cash on this for your residence.”” Like, [rustling] and also so I see why the area as well as the next-door area online and also people are up in arms regarding this due to the fact that it appears sort of counterintuitive, like it'' s great to establish soaring objectives but to begin, I believe we ' re-, where the area could be scared is that they ' re thinking the season to find along is to switching off the natural gas.Reading with,
I read that, you understand, in BE2 that you wanted 31% of residences by 2030 as well as so I'' m picturing they ' ll be incentives with, you recognize, if I was to request an authorization once more, “where they claim, “Hey, Renée, rather than purchasing this,” possibly choose this.” Which ' s where I ' m picturing it if people can select to have their lines shut down. And afterwards seeing the goal where it was by 2035, 53% of houses and I'' m thinking by 2035, you understand, there ' s an all-natural cycle and houses getting restored, right? And so I'' m thinking, and also this is where my concern follows the lengthy overture, is that I'' m presuming that you'' re not gon na say “, “Hey, Renée, draws to you that you just did your residence, we'' re turning it off.”” You'' re going to claim “, “Hey, whoever is the following person occurring doing their remodelling throughout the years, would certainly you favor this?”” We'' re gon na provide you these rebates, incentives and also let people choose and do it in between currently and 2035.
Am I right? – Yes, it is correct. As I said, that we are gon na be phasing in as well as time of authorization is most likely mosting likely to be the first. So you wouldn'' t be required to transform out anything that you just set up today. Time of authorization would likely be among the very first things that we established along with, again, having voluntary uptake through incentives. There'' s a whole lot of incentive, uh, funding originating from the federal government. I don'' t wan na be counter to, , what you kept in mind yet heatpump are one of the most reliable, uh, way to warm both water and room, uh, not natural gas which'' s something that we did review during the gas prohibition. I likewise intend to mention that PG&E is encouraging of electrification since they can not support their aging infrastructure.It ' s harmful and also
they are decommissioning gas power plants. Our power is acquired via Central Coast Area Power and gets on track to be 100%eco-friendly power by 2030. So, I simply intend to additionally discuss those points as well.- And also so after that, then I would certainly, I would pleasantly request that in our City ' s developing authorization process, today, the one that they informed me to purchase, the only readily available choice was gas. That was it.- I don ' t have familiarity precisely with what ' s on that particular list.-That perfect cooperation needs to occur if we ' re going to apply this type of approach. -Definitely. I ' ve been collaborating with the Eco-friendly Structure expert on this, uh, building electrification roadmap. Therefore, we will remain to do so as well as bring onward to you in January some suggestions to see where y ' all wish to opt for that.-Thanks, Tiffany.- Definitely. [mic thump]-Thank you, Councilmember
Golder. Do any kind of various other Councilmembers have inquiries? Councilmember Kalantari-Johnson?-Thank you for, , the discussion and the work. Um, I may have, I marched therefore you might be covered this, yet this is a rather robust strategy and a durable process. What type of partnership or cooperation have we made with other cities within our region and also the Board of Supervisors?- Yes. Well, uh, I did state our regional environment project working group, , that has come with each other. That ' s the County Watsonville, Monterey County, and San Benito County. We are going with each other for gives on shared concerns like structure and also transport electrification, in addition to others, um, equity being a large part of it, actually attempting to stand up a governance framework that brings individuals right into the decision-making from frontline groups. We likewise have actually fit with Watsonville to obtain that $2 million Division of Energy Weatherization Assistance Program Give. We are colla -, we ' re meeting weekly.-Okay.- Think it or otherwise.-Great deals of collaboration.-Great deals of collaboration. Um, I did just take part the areas in their climate action plan advancement process right currently. Um, I just went as well as did a 2-hour job session with them and also a bunch of stakeholders on their plan. I think the partnership, um, on the jurisdictional range in the Monterey Bay Location over the in 2015 has ramped up like never ever before.And it ' s a good idea due to the fact that most of us require to be doing the exact same points. Exactly how we do it may vary however … And additionally, it makes feeling for us to fit for performances of range. A lot of. -Okay, great. I think I did march when you covered that after that.- No fears.-And after that, , kind of a comment inquiry with the, the platform. -Yes. – , are we involving the college systems, specifically, Santa Cruz High or Harbor High that are within our institution systems to like, allow ' s obtain the -, whatever the classes remain in high school.I wear ' t know. I have a 9th-grader, so I don ' t know what they are. But the ecological climate feedback classes in senior high schools
, are'we engaging them and also just how?-We ' re not involving with curriculum in itself however we ' re gauging with the Environment-friendly Schools board that we get on. As well as so, we are going to be -, uh, young people and schools is one of the focal locations that we ' re gon na hit hard over these next 4 months in introducing this campaign.I think the first Eco-friendly Institution ' s committee conference is coming up in about a month approximately. Or we have a standing of area on the schedule as well as we ' re going to introduce it. We additionally, , we do have the ecological clubs via the area, uh, Department of Edu -, or Board of Ed -, yeah, the Department of Education. Um, Amidi Sandidge that ' s the environmental coordinator, we likewise have actually been working with her on getting to the colleges. Kind of obtaining at it from 2 different angles.-Great. And also after that, just one last item, there ' s a whole lot under transportation as well as plainly, there ' s councilmembers that offer on RTC and Metro. , one piece that I selected up was the activity about, um, ensuring that, that youth have complimentary prices. So, ABDOMINAL MUSCLE 1919 just passed and also it ' s being signed, I think it ' s authorized by the guv. It ' s by grants. , simply for all of us, in collaboration with the job you ' re doing, I assume we should be keeping our eye on that because we have to use …-Definitely. -… to'obtain those funds to permit complimentary price for our students.-Absolutely.We have eyes on that.-Okay, thank you. Those are my questions.- Thank you, Councilmember Kalantari-Johnson. Councilmember Myers?-I simply wan na additionally thank you for the -, all the job
, , and simply intend to additionally just actually identify your deal with the outreach to our under -, you recognize, underserved communities as well as folks who a lot of times aren ' t actually even involved in these sort of efforts. Um, and in fact who will experience a few of the first influences from environment change as, you know, sea degree surge and also various other problems that we recognize are coming. Um, [clicks tongue] uh, as well as I recognize that this, um, plan is really around, , doing our actions to decrease our exhausts. And also I believe we finished our adjustment strategy 2 years back, right? Or what ' s the order? 4 years ago now, it ' s been a while. As well as does, uh, adjustment plan obtain a DOT updated as well, or is that on a 10-year cycle? Currently that we ' ve obtained this component done, do we go back to that adaptation item? Since that ' s going to be credibly needed in this area.- Yes, , we ' re mosting likely to be beginning the Adjustment Strategy as well as the Neighborhood Danger Reduction Plan updates later on in the year. We ' re waiting to hear if we got a FEMA Danger Mitigation Give to be able to money that.
Um, that requires to be updated on a 5-year cycle and also it has actually been since we do it along with the Regional Danger Reduction Strategy which we only get approval for FEMA for 5 years for. Since it makes us eligible for specific categories of FEMA gives which we have actually taken benefit of, and also it ' s vital for us to keep the LHMP. We ' re right currently creating a notice of intent for, um, an $11 million project. Had we not had that LHMP certified, we would certainly not be eligible for that financing. Currently, as I said though, and also as you see right here, we are gon na be combining the strategies together in our succeeding update, which is type of the standard of method as that ' s arising is doing those with each other, identifying the nexus between Emissions Mitigation as well as Environment Adaptation.-So, that, that combination will certainly happen in that in …- 2028. -In 2028. Till after that, they arrange of hopscotch a'little bit, however 2028, you wed them together.And that ' s just how we manage from there on forth.-Yes, we have one even more hopscotch which ' s what this adjustment strategy. – Okay. – As well as then the following one would be with each other. – And does this state, um, require that, that combination? Or is that'truly, we ' re doing that because we see those relationships between our'basical -, basic, , [clicks tongue] influences that we have to adapt for and also strategy for as well as after that clearly, um, work as we can to minimize exhausts. That ' s actually just the way that we ' re going to run going forward. I believe that ' s really clever and thank you for …-Yeah, it is the-, it ' s not a requirement by the state but it is kind of in our neighborhood of practice. The fad currently is to do them together.-Okay. Okay'. Um, I might have missed this as well as I did try to check out every little thing. Um, and also I-I-I, um, superb record and extremely available. I wish to match you on that. Um, it ' s really, hard and also extremely technical point to do however it comes and the graphics are wonderful.And the method you ' re offering a great deal of the, um, [clicks tongue] actually, a great deal of the important things that we ' re attempting to achieve are just instantly available. I ' m incredibly excited concerning the program that you showed where people can get on-line and really figure this out, just how they wish to take their own private actions create that ' s what it ' s gon na take. Um, [clicks tongue] with every one of that, um, exactly how does the fad that we ' re seeing with concerns to, and I ' m, I ' m, you recognize-, Do you compute into the vehicle'miles traveled in the exhausts? Um, I presume VMT is type of old-fashioned currently but to end of the exhausts estimations the reality that we are building a lot more housing downtown.How do you -, exactly how does that entered our calculation? So, I ' m envisioning the person who resides in Watsonville however might work right here in the city of Santa Cruz and they ' re being in that web traffic jam. Therefore, just how do we, how do we do that here in terms of our region? Because that ' s things that everyone speaks to me regarding. When they consider exhausts decreases, they ' re like, just how do we get people living here, who are functioning below versus needing to travel? So, can you just really quickly … -Yeah. -… perhaps give us, how you do that? -Yeah. Well, VMT is still the name of the game for …-Okay. -… exhausts, which ' s vehicle miles traveled. And also uh, the city as well as the area really established together a design due to the fact that AMBAG ' s version does not make up discharges that come from outside of the city and also end in the city, or start in the city and end outside the city. And also it is … SP375 requires that that ' s what you include in your VMT. The city as well as the region went with each other to create, um, [ clicks tongue] their very own, uh, design that designs that. Theoretically, claim, with even more affordable real estate thick infill, , transit-oriented development, in theory, in the future, our model should be able to find that? That we ' re having much shorter, um, within territory, journeys as well as less journeys that stem outdoors and also come in or vice versa. So, the manner in which we will certainly track that is when we do our next supply, which we do our supplies every 3 years at a minimum. We ' ll be able to compare it to what we have for 2019. -So, it'' s imaginable that whether it ' s affordable or truthfully market price because there ' s people that would reside in market-rate housing that also stay in the county that get on now taking a trip from other places.The idea behind that actually is being'able to show those much shorter ranges as well as individuals actually moving to be closer to their task center, and also potentially, also just staying in a much more walkable'lifestyle since whatever ' s right there. So, would it be accurate to claim that, , developing real estate midtown is a very
, extremely important climate activity that we should take?-It is undoubtedly as well as constructing affordable real estate midtown is a particular action … -Particularly.-… that ' s called out in the plan that ' s really focused on, , as a high-impact near-term action that we need to take is creating a strategy on how to accelerate that.-Okay, terrific. That, that ' s, I think, really essential for people to recognize the, the worth of, you know, what I call the real estate'ecosystem, you recognize, the real estate ecosystem has to exist. Not, not, you understand, across for certain objectives, but really, to most likely among our most crucial environment activities we can take as an area. As well as frankly', as a state, it ' s to really obtain people housed closer as well as more detailed to the economic centers that everybody depends on.So …- Absolutely. -… I ' m grateful that we ' re believing this way as well. Um, what was my various other question? Um …-May I include one other factor on that?- Yes. -We do also have another activity'pertaining to looking at land usage to ensure that we ' re able to sustain the industries that individuals are operating in to keep them below. You recognize, do we'require to possibly keep some of our industrial zoning in instance we do have commercial, , you recognize, individuals that are rather of traveling over the hill to go to, you know, their job. That is'another method that we are assuming regarding this.-That ' s great, that ' s wonderful. And I believe additionally the -, I support and also I ' m happy that you place in additionally the sequestration item since, , there is still work that could be done around open landscapes around the, you know, the kinds of things that we ' re using our open rooms and things for.So, I assume, I believe that ' s really wise'. Um, I assume that is all my inquiries. Thanks.-Thanks, Councilmember Myers. Vice Mayor Watkins. -Thank you, Tiffany. This was outstanding and also the report was exceptional and the presentation was superb and the job that
went to make it occur. You understand, I value everything from the neighborhood participants that got involved to all your work also.- Thanks. -, I believe my questions resembled Councilmember Meyers. I particularly wished to inquire about the sequestration yet it seems like that ' s something we can still proceed to work towards as well as broaden upon. Um, [clicks tongue] I assume in terms of also the placement with the health and wellness and all policies, you understand, just truly valuing that because when you live where you work as well as you can access healthy foods and you can stroll and also you experience a better of life. And so, as we believe about not only the, um, quantifiable metrics of reductions, we can additionally consider how to overlay that with several of the proxy measurements around just establishing health and how that makes individuals feel in our community, right? Therefore, I believe, um, the CAP could be, uh, not this CAP. [laughes] The other, …-Adaptation Strategy?- Not the Adjustment Plan yet the countywide, … -Oh, the Community Assessment Project.- The Area Assessment Task. The other CAP. Yes, it might be a device potentially to overlay below … -Yes.-… as we think of that. That was simply kind of one idea in tip.
-Wonderful factor.-I presume my only other question is type of more of a, um, a meta concern in that. You understand, I assume with severe weather events, the, um, national understanding or worldwide understanding of environment adjustment is kind of increased in terms of recognition and plan activity. And also knowing our neighborhood is, uh, functioning so well and having such robust plans in position. I presume if you were to foresee type of future, , forecasts around where we can go and also kind of just how we can, you understand, maybe accelerate several of these, these methods. Are you confident? I presume, it ' s my, maybe the inquiry since I feel I am a lot more so than I have remained in the past.-I ' m much more hopeful than ever before.I mean, this is an unbelievable chance for moneying quite truthfully from the Federal Federal Government and the State Federal government. And also I feel like we are well poised as a territory but additionally on the local degree via that Regional Environment Job Working Team I informed you regarding to actually obtain our share since we ' re not mosting likely to be able to do it as a town. We ' re going to need to have numerous financing streams to be able to make this take place. I do feel truly good about that. Yes.- And also there ' s these points that we, as a council, require to be familiar with or exactly how we can sustain, you know, remaining in a really also far better setting than we currently remain in regards to having the ability to access several of these resources that seem like an unbelievable possibility. -Definitely. I do assume that with our legislative agenda as well as sustaining both federal as well as state, um, regulation around this can help not only, , bring sources but also compel, you know,'more policy around this kind of thing so that city government doesn ' t always need to do it all. It ' s really difficult to bring onward these kinds of codes and also so forth since it is.
Of course, um, it might be an issue, yet you recognize, there'' s, there ' s some pros and cons with this. And also that ' s where I ' m picturing it if individuals can choose to have their lines shut off.-We ' re not engaging with educational program per se however we ' re evaluating with the Environment-friendly Schools committee that we are on. And so, we are going to be -, uh, youth and colleges is one of the focal locations that we ' re gon na strike hard over these following 4 months in releasing this campaign.I believe the initial Green Institution ' s committee meeting is coming up in concerning a month or so. I ' m incredibly fired up regarding the program that you showed where individuals can obtain online and also really figure this out, exactly how they want to take their very own specific actions cause that ' s what it ' s gon na take., so that ' s one of my, my major fears, is that, you recognize, we ' re talking about, as I check out the strategy, as well as I ' ll confess, I didn ' t reviewed all of it, but I review a whole lot of it, and also I believed it was wonderful. Considering that 2014, when Alex Clifford was brought in by some extremely reactionary elements on our city board, uh, I could name names, but that ' s not the factor here.The factor is, we all have to truly become much extra severe, and we ' re practically, I believe, to a big level, we ' re out of time for reduction. The anthropologists I ' ve been paying attention to, the specialists I ' ve been listening to, have actually told me, it ' s regarding durability.
And , it'' s not like always laid out yet given that some of those commissions will certainly have a role to play in just how we relocate forward with execution around program statute, this, etcetera.Um, I ' m just questioning how you see there them being involved in taking on particular items of this, um, kind of longer term. Um, so that ' s one of my, my significant worries, is that, you understand, we ' re speaking about, as I review the plan, and I ' ll confess, I didn ' t reviewed all of it, however I check out a great deal of it, and I believed it was fantastic. And I just want to allow you know that the dissonance between my real life as an activist who ' s trying to function with the companies focus like Climate Activity Network as well as the Romero Institute, I recommend their , program, their project called Let ' s Green, California! Because 2014, when Alex Clifford was brought in by some incredibly reactionary aspects on our city board, uh, I could call names, yet that ' s not the point here.The factor is, we all have to actually come to be much extra severe, and we ' re practically, I assume, to a big degree, we ' re out of time for mitigation. The anthropologists I ' ve been paying attention to, the professionals I ' ve been paying attention to, have told me, it ' s concerning durability.To just become an unbelievably gentrified city, while Cynthia Matthews puts herself on the city board, as well as after that she'' s doing her finest to obtain rid of bus lines, because that ' s actually what ' s occurring. Uh, if anyone doesn'' t understand what that suggests, that indicates you wear ' t usage electric motors, you wear ' t usage electrical energy, you gather the sun ' s heat. I do and you'' ll appearance at all the work I ' d done, and also all the comments I ' ve made, which is primarily regarding recs as well as parks and also sports fields.
To just become an extremely gentrified city, while Cynthia Matthews places herself on the city board, and then she'' s doing her ideal to obtain rid of bus lines, since that ' s really what ' s taking place. Uh, if any person doesn'' t know what that suggests, that means you don ' t usage electric motors, you put on ' t usage power, you accumulate the sun ' s warmth. I do and also you'' ll look at all the job I ' d done, as well as all the remarks I ' ve made, which is mainly about recs and also parks and sports fields. It ' s also about organization continuity and also what that indicates is that, it ' s not what happens in the first 72 hrs but what occurs in the next six months.And that ' s what you truly require to believe around. I simply had a couple of comments, so maybe I wear ' t, however a person else can make the motion due to the fact that I simply have a coup -, possibly just a pair of questions and also a comment and I ' m simply questioning exactly how the, you understand, I ' m looking at the procedure around the electrification.I did just desire to comply with up because we got one of our public commenters was from Santa Cruz local and also had some questions and I don'' t recognize if now is a suitable time to try to obtain them responded to or if we want to follow up yet as well as I obtained, I'' ve recorded 2 of them as well as I can'' t bear in mind that … – I have them as well as well as, and also, as well as thank you for bringing that up because my, my inquiry as well as comment was to make sure that we advertise where people can find solutions to their questions and also just how they can input, where will that be? – Wherefore questions that they may have subsequent to this conference? – Yes. – Do you mean? They can always email me, [email protected]. I'' m really responsive to questions.I ' m sorry. I'did not obtain that public document from that you mention. – That call, there were 4 inquiries … – Oh, fine. – Yeah. The much more ambitious plan by 2030 is currently 2035 … – Oh! The person like … – Yeah. And also what cash to finish the plan, Electric Feet, uh, Fleet. Yeah. – There never has actually been a prepare for carbon neutral by 2030 to make sure that I believe is false information. It was part of the conversation at an early stage however that was never anything that we have brought forward.I do believe that I addressed execution. We do have a funding and financing tool for all of our steps. We have in location this local climate task working group, interior gives, uh, group working on this right now. And also after that, the last item about fleet electrification, we are working right now on our fleet electrification roadmap. And also we have actually done, as I stated $5,000,000 simply in financial investment on EV charging infrastructure and fleet. Therefore we are well on our way. You recognize, I will certainly say that Central Coast Community Energy typically asks our team to present at their meetings because we are ahead. Not to claim we put on ' t demand to do a lot much more due to the fact that we do.'We are pressing, Public Functions is pushing on this fleet electrification.And I think that this plan that will come ahead will truly give us something workable so that we can make our targets.-Thank you.- You ' re welcome.- So, [email protected]. -Yes. – Thank you. – You'' re welcome.-Exist any type of various other remarks? Okay, may we have a roll telephone call ballot?'[ mic rustling]-Councilmember Kalantari-Johnson? -Aye. -Golder?-Aye. – Um, Cummings is missing. Brown? – Aye. – Meyers? – Aye. – Vice Mayor Watkins? – Aye. – Mayor Brunner? – Aye. That activity passes with one voice with Councilmember Cummings lacking. Thank you.-Thank you, Council.

If you want addressing the council, you might raise your hand either by calling * 9 on your phone, or choosing increase hand in the webinar controls of your computer. You will certainly after that have 2 mins to talk. Members of the public that are joining us in person, you may align to the right of the dais and you will have two minutes to talk. We ask for that you sign in to guarantee appropriate spelling of your name in the meeting minutes. Nevertheless, it is not required. Okay, I'' m going to go out to our virtual guests to see if there are any kind of hands increased. I'' m seeing two hands. The given name is Sabina. Proceed as well as press * 6 to unmute yourself. – Hello there. Um, thank you for taking my dental comment.I appreciate you making time at each conference to do this. Um, I was calling in concerning … I was taking a look at meetings that happened previously. And also after that at the August 9th meeting at the Council on the closed program, there was a product about 333 Grasshopper Street. Therefore I intended to ask a number of concerns about that. Um, I'' m uncertain why it was on the closed schedule and also so I'' d like confirmation regarding that. Yet my understanding is that 2 former mayors of Santa Cruz, Cynthia Matthews and Donna Meyers will likely be making money from this sale of this home to the city and, um, I think there requires to be some public responsibility regarding that as well as at the very least openness about that which is why I asked that in future conversations about the sale, uh, take location in open session as opposed to closed. Um, I have inquiries about what it'' s being cost. Uh, my understanding has to do with, uh, the economic advancement part of the city. Therefore I'' d like to know if'it ' s mosting likely to be used for real estate. Um, also, similar to a suggestion, we ' re truly behind on our RHMA, uh, demands for extremely low-income housing.And so, if the
city is mosting likely to be buying what resembles a quite pricey item of residential or commercial property and 2 previous mayors will certainly be making money off of that sale, that it should be made use of for very low-income real estate. Um, and also at least, it ought to be chatted about in open session and also not behind shut doors. Anyways, thanks a lot. I'' d truly enjoy to listen to even more about this, many thanks. – Thanks for your remark. Our next participant of the general public joining us basically is the name, “” I am enjoying you.”” – Yeah, I don'' t recognize.'Prior to I begin, I ' m uncertain I recognize the timer established to three minutes however you'said two minutes, I don ' t get it. Um, what ' s going on with that? Um, all right, that was 2 minutes. And the last individual finishes up with 3. Okay. Anyway, uh, yeah, you examined the public the last two conferences so, yeah, you made it two minutes and also the various other 10 mins very early both times.I mean, you ' re counting people. You say you have two people permitted to speak, I mean, begin. You should do 3 minutes and yeah, do the mathematics. It ' s not so difficult. Anyhow, because I won ' t be able to complete this anyway, I ' ll simply reach I'can. As soon as again, the most recent clear crusader flag version overstayed. They all taken into consideration May 2020 resolution to present it on public residential or commercial property. I wondered about the after that mentioned purpose was to recognize and sustain the LGBT area as the fact is, central habits choice of sex adjustment dream doesn ' t similar to this special honor as well as it truly is a queer crusading promo of an ethical opinion that is not so different than if you backed a religion and left as in as a kind of religion both in concept and also constitutional suggested by the government from the annual authority on purpose.Your authority ends with what is unlawful habits, lawful, unlawful actions, not morals, as in, for instance, in prostitution etcetera as well as you wear ' t get it this moment, you understand, any ballot on what is thought about honorable morality. By presenting is promoting this part on our best stupidity otherwise they ' re abusing authority as well as a queer crusading abuse of public home'. Difference is illegal, sexuality are an individual moral choice within the court of public opinion. Not your own to decide or affect. Anyway, any kind of satisfaction is something of being proud of oneself, in this situation, the self-congratulatory pride of one ' s sexuality.Pride itself has never ever, has actually never been a virtue for thousands of years.
Sex-related need and really frequently happening organic features are not so different than taking a poop. Protecting neither honor neither assistance allowed alone by the government. You wouldn ' t lift a steaming poop emoji flag on the civic center, would certainly you? I talked when to a millennial about the ethical issues of this motion, as well as he said, it was no negative precepts, it ' s just said.My concerns of whether if I stated to them– [bell ringing]– wife was simply sex. It ' s gon na be
actually excellent but we ' ll just stop there. [mic thump] -Thanks for your comment. Successive, I have a hand raised, Laura Nieto, go in advance and press * 6 to unmute on your own.-Hi, every person. Um, a challenging act to follow. Um, anyhow, I am calling because I ' m the owner of the Russian midtown and we uh, have these terrific patio areas that we have actually placed um, during COVID to produce and also alleviate space as well as advertise wellness for everyone that wants to appreciate, uh, bars as well as dining establishments, etcetera.So I ' m asking that we have the outdoor patio permit, uh, placed onto the program in October
, uh,'and also I ' m likewise hoping that we can request an extension that ' s much longer than, uh, through December or via March, , primarily since even though I ' ve obtained lots of aid from The golden state and also the federal government, I am struggling and also I'called it my most costly leisure activity today, um, and I ' ve been privileged enough to maintain staff as well as keep customers, uh, however I ' m not economically in a location to do all things that uh, are possibly asked for to relocate into permanence.Um, additionally, I ' ll have one more please. I ' m just not a public speaker.
