of the board of supervisors. Excellent morning, welcome back. – Greetings. I'' m Chuck Baughman from Stone Creek, and I would certainly like to review a letter addressing the PG&E ' s Community.
Wildfire Safety Program. And this letter'' s from the San. Lorenzo Valley Water District and was prepared by the.
Dear respectable managers, the San Lorenzo Valley Water Area provides drinking water to the areas in the San Lorenzo Valley. Concerning fifty percent of the water offered.
is from solution water streams that flow to the San Lorenzo River.As a steward of

the watershed,. the district has actually
invested substantial sources. securing watershed
lands for water high quality, water amount as well as securing essential habitat.
in this biodiverse area. Erosion from PG&E ' s Community.
Wildfire Safety Program might have far-reaching influences.
to the ecological community solutions given by a healthy landmark. The district has been
. keeping an eye on stream flow and also temperature in the San Lorenzo River when it come to influences.
to threatened salmonids. We know amazing water.
temperatures are important for keeping metabolic process prices for raising juvenile salmonids. Our findings reveal that.
during durations of dry spell, deep pools generally stem.
of the San Lorenzo River come to be stratified and.
supply amazing water refuge from the warmer surface.
waters that are affected by warm air temperature. In addition, we located that complying with erosive rains occasions, deep pools load with sediment.
Erosion that results from PG&E ' s program might also influence water top quality. The San Lorenzo Valley. Removing fully grown trees.
The district has restricted.
water storage capability as well as runs largely as needed. If turbidity degrees because of. enhanced disintegration exceed 30 NTU, our treatment plants are unable to sustainably deal with surface area water. Healthy and balanced forests protect the soils and also supply clear and also clean water. We ask that local ordinances. and also administrative guidelines be applied to shield.
the ecological community solutions such as water top quality and also water quantity on which our neighborhoods rely. Thanks, and I ' d like to. send this letter to the court. -[ Zach']
I ' ve been down right here before. They ' re developing what they think are gon na be 400 foot-wide. It ' s fairly outrageous,.
I was astounded when I saw this, but absolutely nothing about PG&E. surprises me any type of longer. These are maps to.
show that the filing, these are parcel numbers, there are 10 of these documents on this scale. Recently, I remained in&San. Francisco on Wednesday.
The public energies compensation is opening up a brand-new proceeding to address. their obligation under SB-901, which is for the IOUs, the. investor-owned energies, to develop what are called, in this law, Wildfire Reduction Program. Several cities and also counties have ended up being parties to this case. This county requires to be a party.Otherwise we ' re just observing whether idiotic stuff. takes place at the compensation, a lot of which, as a person. like me who ' s checked into it, is amazing

. There are no'rules from. the compensation that define safety and security as well as framework. for above circuitry that don
' t date from about 1930. That ' s just how outdated the system is. You recognize, 10% of the. wildfires in the state are ignited by energy cables. They shed regarding 50% of. the'terrain in the state. Every one of those fires are. brought on by downed cords or taking off transformers.
This is a technological. Regions like Sonoma as well as Malibu, that are currently events to this proceeding, they ' re gon na be most worried. That knows what their agendas are.
a seat at that case. It ' s not that huge a deal. You register and also you show up.
I can ' t do it, I don ' t have standing. Thank you extremely much. Thank you, Mr. Collins, value it.
The PG&E Company and its agents are carrying out an organized. devastation of our woodlands.
Agencies permitting this work, consisting of the county of Santa Cruz, need to stop briefly for a min and review, seek what demands, regardless of the rare. Our area board should. Have the courage to inform
our leaders in Sacramento to hold PG&E accountableAnswerable
It is the liable thing to do. We need out region government, we need our federal government. to do the best thing since PG&E won ' t. Regretfully, they put on ' t have a. track'document of stability.
On the contrary, they have. constantly showed a pattern of depraved indifference for the lethal effects. of their actions in spite of having subjective
knowledge of the threats involved.From the infected community of Hinkley to the destruction in Napa

County, from the San Bruno destruction to the snake pit in Paradise, PG&E ' s actions clearly fits the interpretation of indicated malignance. At what point will PG&E ' s. oversight be inappropriate? When will the devastation,. death and also suffering be sufficient
for our leaders to the best thing? The time to do the appropriate point
is now. The golden state has actually endured. enough and also can not neglect the reality that the occurrence and size of the catastrophic. fires goes together with the fact of worldwide warming. PG&E is not as well large to fail, must not be bailed out, and also should be changed. with accountable entities that put the environment as well as. our health before earnings. Thank you.- [Zach]
Thanks, Mr. Gomez. Excellent morning and welcome back.
– Excellent morning, thank you. FYI, there ' s already an ongoing safety and integrity.
There is likewise the regular yearly monitoring plant life program. This is just one example of the complication PG&E ' s actions stimulate. I need to mention that. the damage is not just ecological, it is deeply human.
Thousands of residents are deeply disrupted by the loss or the intimidated. loss of their trees. They comprehend the trees ' values, from soil security, erosion. control, wildlife environment, as well as shelter from weather, to inspiration, remedy for. stress and delight in their beauty.The dangers, the deliberate confusion, mixed messages from PG&E ' s. representatives

at every level, make it even worse. PG&E is disregarding riparian corridors.
Creek, Stone Creek, Two Bar Creek, Bear Creek and even the San Lorenzo River itself is considerable if not extreme. Mill Creek has already. Bear Creek had redwood trees reduced down that would certainly have.
Set down along over a. mile of West Park Method, above the precipitously. high inclines of Stone Creek are loads of significant, healthy, mature trees marked with the yellow X. 2 Bar Road still
waits for. repair services to large slides and also lately, dozens of.
huge red redwoods were drastically limbed. three-quarters of the means up to their crowns by the. security and also dependability team.Many of those same trees. now have yellow Xs. Considering that they are downslope above the creek, eliminating them welcomes.
Simply above the San Lorenzo River, Irwin Method has loads

of trees X
' ed at the edge of the slopeIncline PG&E has actually done so lots of things wrong, specifically stopping working to also. PG&E ignored the CPUC ' s. Office of Public Security Advocate ' s conclusion.
It '&s not simply gon na be confined. to the San Lorenzo Valley.
Thank you. Good morning.- No problem.
Hi, my name is Lydia. Hammock, I ' m from Lompico.
As well as I put on ' t desire to repeat. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you for waiting. I ' m talking on part of the Sierra Club, the Santa Cruz team. Assemblyman Mark Stone, in regards to their requests of having PG&E follow according to the ecological laws.
McPherson and also Mark Stone. This is an extremely crucial. Thank you extremely much, looking forward to speaking with you.
Zach] Thanks Ms. Neal.
Welcome back, great early morning.- Great morning, Jenny
Gomez, Lompico. As a geographer, I ' m. always seeking patterns and linking them with each other. at various scales. To that result, I would certainly

such as to provide some macro-level context. to this conversation. Of the Planet ' s 9 different. life support group, eight are in decline,'a number of. of which remain in sharp decrease. Reversing and also maintaining
. these trends will need many standard changes. from us as people, from exclusive organizations. and also most notably, at every level of
federal government. PG&E, under the auspices.
of the state legislature and the PUC, is trying to reply to these devastating fires. in a much more extreme way
, yet they continue along. the very same destructive course that is neither informed,. nor science-based, nor is it stewardship-based. with regard to the setting and even their very own infrastructure.This is not a paradigm change. A business-as-usual
recipe dish further disaster calamity as well asMisfortune
A new peer-reviewed study. from The Nature Conservancy discovered that 21% of the USA ' greenhouse gas air pollution could be gotten rid of through boosted monitoring. of forest, grassland, farming as well as seaside areas.
A balanced out at this level. would certainly be the equivalent to air pollution from every single.
US auto and also vehicle when traveling. According to Jad Daley, the. Chief Executive Officer of American Woodlands, planting trees as well as boosting the health of existing forests will.
be a deciding element in whether we have the ability to get. ahead of the climate curve.It is feasible that as an area, the biggest as well as crucial.
influence that we can make in stopping climate.
As good guardians we can not.

lots of unsafe shortages in their outdated. electrical facilities. Thanks.- [
My name ' s Andrea Paradise,. I ' m a Santa Cruz resident. I ' m the moms and dad of a transgender child and also their security is so vital to me.
include that as a homeowner, there ' s a PG&E right of way in my yard that for one decade has actually full of debris, no, 30 years that I ' ve been there, that PG&E has not agreed to remove as well as limits their access. to a post in my backyard that is tipping over, that is turning, that they say is not hazardous but that the transformer. exploded ten years ago as well as if it had happened currently, it&would certainly have triggered a fire. It occurred in the. center of a winter months tornado, so it did not, yet the.'stimulates were everywhere. And PG&E is rejecting, I ' ve. been speaking with them last week, they are refusing to. think about either the debris that limits their access to. this location or the post a hazard.Thank you.- [Zach] Thank you. Greetings, welcome, many thanks for waiting.
– Thank you. My name is Julie Wiest and also.
I stay in Rock Creek. And I am a CERT, Area
. Emergency Feedback Team fitness instructor for the region.
And also I likewise train map your area that is a local response to the prompt occasion

of a calamity. So I educate communities. exactly how to arrange themselves as well as ideally get themselves. out of an emergency risk-free.
And also I appreciate your comments concerning what ' s happened in the state.We definitely are all really feeling the impact of what ' s happened up. in the Heaven area. Among the inquiries that I. mosted likely to the firm conference that PG&E had prior to they. had the neighborhood conference. I was invited by Stu. Roth, that works for PG&E. And I asked the question of PG&E, that were they solidifying the. emptying paths out of areas that have restricted in and out gain access to

? And also they claimed, no, that ' s. an actually good'idea.
I execute finding out. As well as the issue that I. have in the minimal view that PG&E is not setting their wiring as well as their.
So my concern is that PG&E. is behaving in a lawless means.
They ' re not adhering to protocol, we put on ' t know what their strategy is as well as one of the important things, you.
We ' ve looked at four feet,. People have have no great.
guidance on exactly how to take care of PG&E on their very own home, so I believe one of the important things. that I ' d be asking for would certainly be to have public hearings, to make sure that the public'is. familiar with what PG&E is doing and they ' re held responsible.
It ' s actually crucial, especially in the unincorporated locations. Bruce, I tease you about being our mayor because we put on ' t have one. It ' s really crucial.
that all'of the other managers as well as agents. get included in this issue. It ' s expanding, and also especially for the. safety and security of every one of the people in this county, it ' s extremely. vital, as we can see. Thanks quite.- [. Zach]
Thanks. Early morning and welcome.- My name is Anne Thrift,.
I ' m a residential property proprietor in Boulder Creek, as well as,.
sorry, I ' m actually anxious. I'' m also really dismayed.
I have actually not been contacted yet by PG&E except by two total BS mails.
One letter and one e-mail. I did the recommended point to do, which is to send them an email saying, I decline to let you on my residential or commercial property and also cut or cut my trees, unless I have a created. In enhancement, I have an extra element, which is I ' m on 236,.
which is a state highway.I have been attempting to. get with the labyrinth of numerous state firms. that might or may not have anything to do with.
this, consisting of Caltrans. That ' s recurring. Caltrans doesn ' t know. what it ' s doing, either. On the other hand, I ' m anticipating.
them to come any day and reduce down one of my trees, or more, as they did a year as well as
a half ago under the apparently basic.
Plants Management Program. When I disagreed with PG&E, they
determined that I did not. need any kind of notification or be worthy of. To ensure that ' s currently took place to me, so I ' m a bit gun-shy. I'finally get one more letter, which is Anne Second hand or existing homeowner. Oh, uh-huh, authorized by no person. They misdo my address. as well as claim it ' s in
Oakland, when it ' s clearly not.And essentially, it ' s some even more public relations rubbish however somewhere in there it says, we ' re gon na come cut anyway, effectively. I would love to provide you.'Because this is the obvious result of attempting to communicate with them which I consider no outcome, men a copy of this letter. The last thing I wan na say is.
this is permanent damage. It hasn ' t occurred to me yet, yet it has actually happened to other individuals. As well as this isn ' t the power. going off in your refrigerator. You understand, you shed what ' s. in your fridge, alright, which is an unbelievably dumb. idea they have, anyway. This is irreversible. There ' s a big tree next to me. Not just will if it goes away.
I be hotter in the summertime, I will be'paying PG&E even more cash. As well as it ' s in between me and the roads, ' reason I '
m so close to the road. What a lot of us are asking you today is do an order.
Stop this, stop it, stop it, stop it, before it goes any kind of farther.Thank you. Thank you.
Greetings, thanks for waiting.&- Excellent morning. My name is Gloria Nieto. I reside in Ben Lomond '. I'' m not here regarding PG&E.

There'' s a revised memo, package page 623, and also there ' s a changed. I'' m Chuck Baughman from Boulder Creek, and also I would such as to read a letter addressing the PG&E ' s Area.
I can ' t do it, I put on ' t have standing. PG&E overlooked the CPUC ' s. Office of Public Safety Supporter ' s conclusion. As well as it ' s between me as well as the roads, ' reason I '
m so close to the road.I'' m the designated representative
of Manager McPherson to the Latino Matters Compensation. I'' m right here on behalf of product number 36 to adopt the resolution
on transgender security. As I was checking out the region seal, I assume my Old Latin states
The LGBT community and that we ' re gon na. Thank you. Thank you.
Gary Richard Arnold. I believe I'' m talking.
Back at the turn of the century, the Public Management Clearing Residence at Chicago University. The trustee was Charles Merriam.
Rockefeller Spelman Fund. They planned local government.
to replace self-government. A worldwide union of.
cities was assembled by Emil Davis, chair.
of the London'' s Fabian exec committee, which Mr.Coonerty.

need to recognize a lot about. They quickened the substitute.
of counties and cities, and they'' re meant to be soaked up by federalized world federal governments. We'' re speaking about AMBAG, and so on. We recognize that the Rothschilds, Lord Rothschild in Cambridge.
belonged to the secret society of the Apostles. He joined the Fabian Culture, which assembled a group called Inquiry that began on just how they.
were gon na rule the globe making use of the Organization of Countries as its base. The United States.
Senate elected versus it. J.P. Morgan, Thomas Lamont,.
Walter Lippmann all pressed in. There was a reset on the United Nations as a basis utilizing regional Soviets. Robert Hutchins, again from.
the College of Chicago, published a publication with four quantities with a brand-new globe constitution. The magazine was called Typical Cause.Leon Panetta founded California Onward, component of Typical Reason. His vice president is Lenny Mendonca, a participant of the Committee. for Economic Freedom that supports doing away with 80 %of the cities and areas. The Fabian Culture right. right here, Mr. Coonerty, pushes local federal government to.
remove neighborhood federal government. We'' ve also obtained the conference last time, some weeks back by yourselves. You all came off your.
dais and also accepted an honor by a man that functioned for ICLEI. ICLEI is a front for the World.
Financial institution and the United Nations. He promotes sculpting up the western states to create a new country. A Chinese, Communist, Soviet-style country, getting rid of the Constitution, which you are doing.
presently by your memberships in multiple organizations.I motivate you to

promptly. established up an investigation of the transfer of power and to restate, break your links with those. I additionally ask that both Zach Pal and also Leopold, who have actually made dangers against both people and organizations and also supported by COPA, a company sustained by the Panetta Institute, for hazards versus people,. residential property as well as people.
COPA ' s nothing greater than a rent-a-mob. It was set up. I encourage you to follow your oath, resign from these organizations. The people here, regarding the power. Search for S-E-E-C, SEEC,.
it'' s the power cartel.You won ' t get anything done–.- Thank you, Gary.
Thank you. Great early morning and welcome back. – Great morning, managers,.
Chair Good Friend, Mary Jo Walker. We understand that PG&E was liable.
for the gas line explosion in San Bruno in 2010,.
eight individuals died there. PG&E was condemned of violations of the Pipeline Safety and security.
Substitute its record-keeping and monitoring as well as obstruction of justice for existing to the investigators. It shows up that PG&E ' s.
liable of fires in Sonoma, Napa as well as.
Mendocino County in 2014. 18 individuals passed away there,.
plus billions of bucks of damages and disturbance of lives. And also currently it appears that.
PG&E is responsible for the Paradise fires. 79 individuals, thus far this.
early morning, melted alive.PG & E reported

troubles. with two high-voltage lines at the same time and also location. where the fire began, and also a lady apparently. alerted PG&E of stimulates from among those lines. 1 day prior to the fire. PG&E not did anything. When will it be the Felton fire? Or the Aptos fire? Or the Mount Madonna fire,. or Corralitos, or Bonny Doon brought on by PG&E ' s devices. and poor management? PG&E would have us think that the trees are the problem. This is a red herring, I. hope you recognize that. , if they make us think that.. the trees are a problem, then they draw away the blame. far from themselves, as well as cutting
trees is. cheaper than dealing with lines.And we additionally know that the trees, there ' s not a great deal of trees in Malibu, that ' s shedding like crazy. It ' s not the trees that'. are causing the trouble. I'' m not saying that fires wear ' t. take place from other resources, and I ' m not saying'that. plant life management isn ' t necessary, it
is. PG&E ' s objective of 30-foot. broad swath lawn to sky along every significant translation line, there ' s numerous issues keeping that, I wear ' t have time.People feel powerless and also we are here today to show that we

are not helpless. And I desired to remind you of points that the county can do. I know that Manager. McPherson co-signed a letter with Mark Stone asking.
concerning PG&E ' s facilities. Thanks, that was superb. As well as there'have actually been most likely various other actions that the region has actually taken I ' m not knowledgeable about yet I have a few points that. I assume the county might do. Hold public hearings. PG&E has refused to hold public hearings. They ' ve had meet-and-greets so we can hear what they have to say, yet they wear ' t intend to speak with us. The county needs to hold public hearings to make sure that to enable homeowners to be heard, and also inform building. proprietors of their rights.People are puzzled. PG&E tells them one thing. as well as then they listen to the realities from another resources. The area needs to put together a file summing up homeowner '. legal rights to protect their trees. Become an event to the issue that Kevin
Collins mentioned. Change the dialogue from the. focus on trees as the problem to the focus on PG&E. devices and also management as the trouble.
Make certain that PG&E is held. responsible for their actions. Senate Bill 901 enables PG&E.
Presently, these costs have. This needs to be reversed.
Send a message to the guv. that PG&E board members require to be changed. Prepare for a. potential PG&E insolvency that might happen.
Thank you for waiting. -Thank you, Jennifer. PG&E and my issues.
You know, trees are the. essence of Santa Cruz Mountains and where we live. The factor a lot of us live. right here is since of the trees
, as well as the nature that borders us. We put on'' t installed
with an. Due to the fact that we want to live, hour commute to San Jose.
in a metropolitan atmosphere. It'' s truly vital.
component of our being right here. The point is that part of.
our purchasing choice as well as decision to live in Santa Cruz Region is the trees that surround us and the trees on our buildings. It offers us an all-natural,.
relaxed setting. As well as this huge task,.
which incidentally, it was mischaracterized.
as a project, of PG&E, along with all the.
serious environmental issues that you'' ve heard talked around, in addition to not in fact addressing the framework which.
has additionally been spoken about, it'' s really gon na ruin the looks and the residential property values of where we live which'' s gon na impact the county, because that'' s gon na influence.
the worth of our residential properties and also the tax obligation base for the county.And PG&E is simply running. widespread&doing this, and it ' s gon na have a horrible result on our residential or commercial property values and.
the locations that we live. So, you recognize, you'' ve heard. a lot of remarks today but we stand for simply a little.
fraction of all individuals that wanted to speak today. There'' s a great deal of people that work that can ' t involved these conferences. Therefore I wish you take.
that into factor to consider that our voices are just a tiny portion of those who'' d like to have spoken.And so for

the purpose of our.
Thank you. – Excellent morning, thank you. Prior to I neglect, I'' d like.
agents on October 1st in a different conference room.Braemoor Drive

like a lot of, or I.
must state all of Bonny Doon, is a gorgeous component of.
the Santa Cruz Mountains. There are so many trees. Redwoods, oaks, madrones,.
Douglas firs, pines, as well as a wealth of.
It'' s a prize. Unfortunately, today, there are far less trees, at the very least on Braemoor Drive, than there were just 3 months earlier.
before-and-after photos to show you. But I never dreamed in the past.
that I would actually require to go out and paper.
what the area appeared like, because no person understood what.
will occur. When PG&E and also Davey Tree.
Business, at their wish, appeared as well as just began.
reducing trees like crazy.Now, none of us who live up there, and I ' ve been there 6 years, a lot less than a number of other individuals here, none of us that live up. there are ignorant regarding fire.
Even from my house, I ' ve. looked out onto the'sight that I have down in the direction of Rock Creek, Ben Lomond and also seen smoke. coming up from the Top Fire and also from other fires for many years. As well as we are prepared to. get away at a moment ' s notice, as ideal we
can. What PG&E and also Davey Tree Business have actually done on Braemoor. Drive is merely a debacle. They have actually intimidated great deals of
neighbors right into thinking that they had. to allow Davey Tree Business just cut whatever they desired to cut.Some trees needed to be limbed, they cut them down instead.

And also I ' m not talking dead trees, however whole lots of healthy trees. Currently I ' m not a scientist or a designer, however I ' m persuaded of 2 things. The setting on Braemoor Drive has actually been irreversibly harmed. in regards to tree removal, which will certainly cause disintegration, flooding, and even under the. trees that were eliminated, currently, there will certainly be whole lots. even more brush expanding, which is also a poor fire fuel. As well as 2nd, there are numerous actions that PG&E can be taking yet is not. taking to reduce this problem. A few of the technical. improvements and upgrading that various other people
have actually spoken to.So I would request that you,. as our board of managers, do whatever you can in. terms of legal take advantage of and political leverage to. reduce this issue.
Thank you quite.- [Zach] Thanks. Greetings, welcome back.
– Hey there, my name is Steve Holman. I stayed in Bonny Doon for 42 years. I additionally have experience. in environmental health, flood control and also water pollution for 3 various counties.I intend to advise you that the community that
I stay in, Bonny. Doon, is the supply of water for most likely half of everything.

to the west as well as north of 30th Opportunity. There are seven streams.
that appeared of Bonny Doon that serve the San Lorenzo.
Valley and 2 springs. There are three that serve. Santa Cruz and also one spring. There are two that offer Davenport, and Santa Cruz ' s water
. copulates out to virtually Capitola. We require to safeguard those landmarks from people taking down trees without assuming about what they ' re doing. I do have below from the. Valley Continue the 9th. It ' s an advertisement from PG&E. And it says the 4. points that they desire to do
with people to do their. improved vegetation program.

One says, our safety and security assessors. will certainly remain in your neighborhood to figure out
which vegetation might require to be trimmed or removed.

Tip two is, if required, we will certainly mark trees that need to be addressed and also contact you. As well as tip four is we ' ll strategy. What they ' ve left out is some points that they ought to have put in.
we assure not to make judicial dangers and false. legal insurance claims of liability to individuals who simply wish to bargain.
They need to take on arrangement between trimming and also cutting to the ground with people that desire to. They ought to comply with a letter of the law from the PUC, which is. And also the 6th thing is.
I ' ve been waiting 42 years to see any cords in my area which is an extremely high. fire danger neighborhood. to see any of them altered over to wires that have insulation.
That would certainly make a wonderful. Thank you really a lot.
Thank you. As well as I ' m here in assistance of.
thing 53 to file and also accept record on proposed federal.
immigration rule changes to public fee resolutions.
And also as several of you recognize,. Households with.
continuously as well as earn enough to leave hardship. This proposition would make it harder for bad immigrant employees to advance. Exactly how you live your life and also. add to your neighborhood needs to define you in this country, not how you look or exactly how. much cash you make. This proposition would certainly make.
as well as has already made immigrant households afraid to.
look for programs that help them remain solid and also productive.
as well as increase kids who grow. Concerning 26 million people could.
be damaged by this proposition, including one in four youngsters with at the very least one immigrant moms and dad. That ' s concerning 18 million children. These youngsters are our future. Assuring their healthy and balanced. advancement will certainly benefit all of us for years to come.So I invite you and also every person. else to interact to oppose the general public fee regulation. We have till December 10th.
to send public comment on this law. Our opposition requires to be strong due to the fact that the stakes are high. If we want our neighborhoods to prosper, every person in those communities. must have the ability to remain together and get the treatment, services. and also assistance they need to
stay healthy and also efficient. I thank you for your management as well as that of the Human Solutions Division for standing up for families. and kids in this community.Thank you. -[ Zach] Thanks,. thank you for your work.
Excellent morning, welcome back.

– Greetings. I ' m Tony
Crane, representing. a community in Aptos. And this is regarding the Peer. Reprieve Care Give Program
as well as the home at 2884 Estates Drive. I simply received a letter that. we were somewhat anticipating. Let me read it to you. This letter is to acknowledge that the California Wellness. Facilities Finance Authority has actually obtained confirmation.
that the area of Santa Cruz as well as Encompass Neighborhood.
Services have actually jointly agreed to waive the entire peer respite give completing $1,126,828, therefore waiving the remaining 71,000 and change in undisbursed funds and returning 1,055,775 that has actually been disbursed. The interesting point is why? Why would certainly you individuals.
surrender a million bucks for a program that you. believe is helpful to the area? The reason is because that. cash never must have
been given up the top place. It was done under, in our.
point of view, unlawful conditions, certainly dishonest circumstances. We ' ve gave the evidence of that. We ' ve given inner e-mails showing that they never ever had any purpose of meeting the regards to the grant.It ' s clear as day in their very own words. And afterwards they reverse. as well as existed to the neighborhood.

'we ' ve been telling. you this for over a year.
And also so, why would certainly you do this? It doesn ' t make any
sense. We ' ve been collaborating with you. for over a year currently', claiming, this is an incorrect place for this.
It was done under, you recognize, situations that are questionable. , if you had just offered the.. residential or commercial property, taken the money. Now they ' ve paid it off. with a$ 2 million grant that they received, or excuse me, gift from a confidential contributor. If you had actually just paid attention. and also took a look at the evidence and also just worked with us, they ' d currently have$ 3 million and also transform to even more this program. But instead, you offer it back. And also I assume it ' s since this was done under. questionable circumstance.And so if you think that this letter is mosting likely to reverse what has actually been.

done and also what we can verify has been impropriety by members. of the area of Santa Cruz as well as Encompass Area. Providers, you ' re incorrect.
We ' ve currently been to. the board of incorporate.
They ' ve consented to take a look at various other residential or commercial properties and are gon na be speaking. to you about thata and I would prompt you to. take that extremely seriously.
Thanks.- [Zach] Thank you. Excellent morning and also welcome,. -Good early morning, my name is Peggy Seas.
And also everybody ' s already. said&all the points regarding saving the trees and why.
we shouldn ' t cut them down.
Ditto to that. I ' m here to encourage you to discover some of the resources in this community as well as utilize them that help to have a various strategy to it rather of the.
We ' ve got groups right here. We'' ve obtained CNPS, we ' ve obtained. We ' ve got individuals that are actually.
It takes a lot of initiative to do it, yet it ' s worth it in the end. And also if we just let this go. Everyone involved is gon na.
get a great deal of lawsuits. , if somebody comes on my.
.
With a lot of work, I ' m. ready to assist to place together some various other options with other people that recognize exactly how to do this. Thank you. Our family got a. letter just recently from PG&E stating they ' re coming to our area.
This is gon na be in your. And also I function at a local baby room, I got a phone call that from. The woman said they adamantly opposed any type of trees being removed.
female and her partner were out of town, PG&E moved. in as well as lower 21 trees without any kind of permission.This is occurring, as well as this will certainly occur in your area also, so I advise you to make an&.
injunction against PG&E. Since I come from the.

Area Fire Safe Council, I am privy to some discussions with top-level CAL FIRE officials.
As well as I know that PG&E is gifting&the wood to regional firewood companies and also they ' re marketing it for a big revenue. This is illegal. This is, now I ' m told, being. dealt with in Sacramento. We understand the state moves gradually. They ' re not moving currently and also you need to take. leadership below in your area and also file an injunction till this can all be resolved out and also PG&E made to update their equipment to really handle the issue efficiently that they
are causing in the wildland. I want to say thanks to Mr. Collins. for his management in this. He ' s doing an impressive task and also. I actually am very grateful.I likewise desire to speak with you this early morning regarding fire security in Santa Cruz County as well as funding that fire security.
Mostly all of the CAL FIRE. devices are out of the location.
Area Fire. What are you doing to money Area Fire? Area Fire spending plan is 1.3 to$ 1.5 million shortage every year.

They ' ve had meet-and-greets so we can hear what they have to claim, yet they don ' t desire to listen to from us. There'' s a lot of people that work that can ' t come to these meetings. Now I ' m not a designer or a researcher, but I ' m persuaded of two points. We ' ve given inner e-mails showing that they never had any intent of fulfilling the terms of the grant.It ' s clear as day in their own words. We'' ve got CNPS, we ' ve got.None of that money from
that half-cent sales tax obligation will most likely to moneying the Region Fire budget unless you make a modification. Right currently, no money comes
from the general fund to the Region Fire budget plan. No cash from the state
County Fire spending plan.
It ' s got to change. -Thank you. – Thank you.
they ' ve currently done that.
– Thank you, Ms. Steinbruner. – Thanks.- [Zach] Good morning and.

As well as it truly was a sobering idea. I presently put on ' t reside in a woody area, however'I provided for ten years. live in the mountains as well as I think we all recognize that it ' s simply, there however for the elegance. of'God at this point. Therefore my request with. regard to the PG&E problem, I wish is fairly easy.
I assume that what we all. And that includes interacting to us as well as possibly, the board might act as an interaction intermediary in between PG&E and the people you stand for, to simply give documentation.What are the safety and security steps. Can they demonstrate.
It would certainly be really misguided instructions.
to interact with PG&E on our behalf to ensure that they. might report bent on us what the safety features are. that they are established? Where is that happening,. you understand&, location by area, to ensure that we can
as specific. neighborhoods feel safe and comprehend what type of. circuitry as well as fuses as well as posts, as well as when I look around I. see
stuff that looks like it ' s been there for years and as other individuals. pointed out, it ' s in disrepair. And so that would certainly be my request, thank you significantly.
Thank you. Good early morning and welcome,.
thanks for waiting.- Excellent morning, thanks really much.I have to start, so I. recognize I ' m speaking up of turn on product number 36 however I. wanted to talk anyhow.

As well as I wish to start with claiming that I wouldn ' t be here. today as an out queer guy without the work of numerous.
trans and also sex non-conforming people that came before me.Two of those people. being Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia'Rivera, two
. trans women of shade who were existing half a century earlier on the evening
of the Stonewall riots. An evening that many mark as the

start of the modern
LGBTQIA legal rights motion below in the USA. Trans individuals have actually constantly been here. They should not be made unnoticeable and also for far too long they ' ve. been pushed to the margins. I deal with trans pupils. everyday at UCSC. Just last week, I was sustaining a trainee that ' s using to graduate institutions as well as they remained in a state.
of disarray since currently, they need to believe seriously.
about relating to institutions outside of the state of The golden state must they find themselves. using to an institution in a state that intends to.
embrace some of these new federal understandings.
That ' s not what that pupil should have to be assuming concerning as they apply to finish school. That ' s not a decision they need to have to, something they should have. And it contributes to a narrative that tells them that they put on ' t belong, and that they shouldn ' t. be honored of who they are.
thanks for your work. -[ Thank you. I ' m not right here regarding PG&E or the trees. As well as I ' m looking forward to fulfilling the task ' s goals and.

So I ' m partnering with various other.
That ' s not okay, it ' s inappropriate. They ' re in rejection, they ' re. I don ' t demand meds when they do require medications.
collaboration of government. Whether it ' s Monsanto. corporations or Verizon, or the oil industry, capitalism is ruining this earth.

I wan na have the ability to thank Michael. Wasserman and also Ken Yeager, for not placing a limiting
. order on Successful Alexander.I got my appellate brief. from Jonathan Grossman, my good Jewish bro.

I got the participant.

Is there anyone else. Okay, seeing none,
we ' ll. Manager Caput, any remarks.
on the consent program? -Well, you understand, after paying attention, and also I considered this a little bit prior to. With PG&E, I ' m not saying. there ' s a conspiracy thing or anything but I ' m not also claiming I put on ' t think in coincidence.What I'' d like from PG&E is a reaction discussing why we ' re having a lot more events of fires beginning with their posts and whatever. And also exists a link perhaps between all the SmartMeters. they ' re placing in, all the brand-new technology they ' re putting
in? When, as well as whether or not. you put in brand-new technology it has a dispute with, it ' s all linked to old technology. So, what I ' d like, actually,. is something from PG&E, like a reaction, a written feedback, instead of simply stating,. oh, we ' re not accountable. Okay, what I ' d like to obtain. at is some explanation.
We can ask for that. And also like I said, have it.
Anyway I assume that ' s. something we can do as a board, is
ask for a written composedDescription Which ' s what I ' ll. require in the future.
Thank you. Supervisor McPherson.
comments on PG&E as well, but I comprehend they'' re. gon na be drawing back several of their efforts. As well as we have actually written, as it was pointed out to.
Assemblymember Rock as well as I, to PG&E to state that they must follow what Southern The golden state Edison is doing and also hardening their system before they start lowering trees. And let people recognize that.
we'' re dealing with CAL FIRE to find to a resolution to.
see how we can resolve this the very best way we can. However getting to the.
authorization schedule, product 36. This has to do with truly treating all participants of our public with fairness and also self-respect. It'' s likewise regarding advertising.
excellent public health and wellness results. Evidence has actually revealed that.
They live healthier as well as when individuals are encouraged to determine their very own sex identification.

the Health And Wellness Services Firm for their assistance in preparing this product, for all the great work you.
do to serve our homeowners no matter of their gender identity.It ' s really vital'and it ' s crucial to some people who require every protection that everybody and each and. each of us must have.
On product number 61, I. simply desired to point out that we simply are completing. a resurfacing job.
It represents an investment of virtually$ 1.9 million on our roadways. Before the flow of. Procedure D in November of 2016, we would not have actually had this. kind of funding we have now to take on these kinds of. jobs of vital needs.Last evening, I was in Ben
Lomond with our public jobs supervisor, Deputy CAO Matt Machado, to. discuss our road situation with people in Santa Rosa Valley and
this is a long run. I think individuals notice that. there ' s a great deal of roadwork that has been going on.
that hadn ' t been provided for numerous months, several years.
And we had 140 significant. And I want to praise. The area doesn ' t connect.
You can take it to the financial institution that without this$ 1.9 million, we would certainly not be doing. the road enhancement job that we ' ve been able to
do this last year. So I want to give thanks to those individuals. that elected Measure D. More than a 2/3 majority.
We ' re going at it and also we ' re.
– [Zach] Thanks, Supervisor McPherson. Greetings, Supervisor Coonerty. -All right, excellent early morning. Thanks to everybody who came out today for their vital. remarks and will certainly continue to function with

– Great morning, my name'' s Donna'Meyers and also I ' m a member of the LGBT neighborhood and I ' m here this. And also it adds to a story that tells them that they don ' t belong, and also that they shouldn ' t. be proud of who they are. As well as I ' m looking ahead to meeting the job ' s objectives and.

Thank you. Ryan]
Second. – A motion from Manager Coonerty and a second from Supervisor McPherson. It passes with one voice.
Zach] Thank you.- [Julie]
Suzanne we ' ll be offering you a quick presentation to begin off. Thank you. – Good early morning, Chair as well as supervisors.
Is my on?- Speak out a little bit.
– Okay, sorry concerning that. Is this much better? Okay, we ' re complying with up on direction provided by the board on June 12th of this year to tackle what was called a number of near-term inexpensive housing initiatives.And so what we have below today are modifications that attend to 3 of the issues on that particular list.
The initial among those is the Enhanced Thickness Reward Choice.

That initiative as well as the amendments consisted of under that initiative, make changes to chapter 17.12 which is the region ' s current thickness incentive regulation and likewise 13.10 which is the zoning statute. This effort, as we were undertaking this, we likewise realized that there had actually been numerous state
legislations come on the stepping in years, considering that 2015 when phase 17.12 was last amended therefore, we consisted of modifications to satisfy the existing state legislation afterwards recent regulations. These efforts likewise address, somewhat, the blended use
problems that were elevated as part of that earlier board hearing and also I ' ll go into that in a bit more information in just a moment. The second effort pertained to the regional housing requirements integrating area. For those who are not familiar, this is a district that was developed back throughout the Real estate Component Update of 2007 to assist the area meet the regional real estate needs allotment that is offered periodically by the state.So, the amendments to this area influence phases 13.01 and also 13.10, and also I will enter into that as well in a little much more detail in just a moment. And after that the third campaign we ' re attending to right here relates to the area ' s. inclusionary zoning regulation which is a system for generating cost effective housing within. market price advancements as well as that is chapter 17.10.
The major amendment to 17.10. was a change to'need previous county approval for programmers. that wish to request to pay effect fees instead.
of supplying budget friendly devices within their project. This has been sometimes referred to as the programmers option issue. As well as the second part of the. amendments to chapter 17.10 were to allow repayments of. any kind of superior impact fees.Housing effect costs on. a job to be paid when the task is finished and is released a tenancy
certificate. To dive in a little bit
in more detail information the density thickness benefit updates, the first initial of that is to create develop Enhanced Boosted Thickness Benefit. To start with, several people. might not recognize with what is the density. reward to begin with. This is a state legislation that nearly works type of as a similarly to the area ' s inclusionary statute.
It is a means to provide rewards to real estate developers to. include economical systems in their jobs in. exchange for a boost in the allowed thickness. which indicates variety of units, real estate units per acre. As well as there are some various other.
incentives they can pick from within the state legislation
that is spelled out and likewise within our. existing Region Code
17.10, motivations and also giving ins and also a number of other.
The present regulation and also. No issue just how numerous budget friendly devices you supply in a job,.
Nonetheless, there are alternatives. to ensure that local governments can select to give a. higher reward than that and also that ' s what we are.

trying to lead to out below with
these changes. The state does. need neighborhood areas to provide a thickness. bonus of'even more than 35 %.
The existing code as well as the existing state legislation likewise offer a route to
request ask for waiver of certain specific of development growthCriteria One of which has to do with mixed-use. The area has a policy in.
the complete task floor location, or when it comes to an a. 100% inexpensive task, it can ' t be greater than 67 %. There ' s a system
under the present code for projects that may be.
If, able to apply for a waiver to that need. they'can make the situation that that requirement would.
literally avert them from having the ability to develop the. or else qualifying task on that particular site.
Component of the. The 4 costs that. Of January 2017 were the Bloom bill Abdominal 2501.
This is the one, that as I just kept in mind, included some new language. It ' s in the case that they might
deny reject requested incentive or concession giving in ' s requested asked for a developerProgrammer The second bill was.
the Santiago expense, 1934 which added a particular brand-new sort of incentive for commercial jobs. And this is not meant out rather as formulaicly in the in the law.
There ' s some regional. It essentially suggests that you can have an industrial job that possibly would certainly like to develop'slightly much more business space than the code would certainly otherwise enable as well as that project could. That one is fairly new.
I wear ' t know that it has actually been. exercised also many times yet so it ' s kind of yet to be seen. just how that will be played out.But that, we have made modifications in the proposed ordinance to.'satisfy state legislation on that. The Nazarian bill makes clear substitute housing needs.
That suggests that if you.

had a proposed task on a website that included existing real estate, specifically, rental real estate which real estate had actually either been occupied in the last ten years or. was limited inexpensive or based on lease
control or you had actually documented that. occupants stayed in that housing that were understood to be lower-income were based upon neighborhood demographic. as well as socio-economic data that would have been. likely to be lower-income, then the law requires that. before the growth can use
for a thickness reward that they have to. include replacement systems within that new job. at that reduced earnings level in the very same number as we ' re. feeding on the site beforehand.So, this is meant to ensure that the Thickness Bonus Law. is not enabling designers ahead in and also eliminate existing. lower revenue rental units from region. And also the Holden bill placed in an unique reward for designers proposing units specifically for

lower-income foster youth or various other types of. special needs houses. So, to go into simply a bit of detail on the proposed changes pertaining to the regional. real estate requirement integrating district which we typically describe as. the R-combining area, simply as a suggestion, under the. Area Code and basic strategy, all rezoning applications as well as proposed basic strategy amendments always call for board approval. In the situation of an. application to add a new site to the R-combining area. which is a zoning area, they additionally have to supply a scheduled device development application together with that, application to get rezoned.Planned device development application would certainly consist of a website plan. that generally lays out where specific uses are. meant to be on the website.
That PUD would certainly require to be constant with the R-combining district. If there was a proposal to maybe develop one of those sites with something various other than that housing, the county would certainly need.
the capacity for real estate devices that are needed in order to fulfill the local housing needs. as well as keep housing element compliance under state regulation. So, I recognize that was. type of a big mouthful, so I am happy to address inquiries on that if you require more detail on that particular. The other language in the statute are simply to truly make clear the process for this PUD application.How it is processed and also. what type of findings the Planning Compensation as well as board would need to make in order to. accept this type of demand. We additionally just wan na clarify. that the R-combining area may be used in combination. with an underlying zoning of numerous types. Maybe an underlying. property zone, commercial or public facility zone. And also once again, that would certainly enable.

the sorts of mixed-use jobs that have been of interest recently. Every one of the changes. in the draft ordinance to chapter 13.10 our coastal carrying out therefore they will certainly be forwarded. to the Coastal Compensation for their review and approval.
The California Environmental Quality Act if embraced by the board.We have some info right here regarding CEQA. We have actually offered a notice. of exemption under CEQA with this
bundle today. Brooke, our area council is here today to answer if you have any kind of. detailed inquiries
regarding that. As well as just the bottom lines. in the notice of exemption are that the statute.
in front of you today is ratifying and also restating
existing legislation specifically in the

situation. of the thickness perk where existing state law. and existing area code do supply that the county. may approve thickness perks of greater than 35% as well as in. the existing code as well as legislation, there is no upper limit.So, we have suggested amendments that actually established an upper. In the existing law,. You could go up to any type of quantity above 35% under the present area code.
The 2nd rationale for the exception is that the statute itself will not cause a direct physical.
Currently, some have increased problems.
categorical exception under CEQA for density bonus. projects and also several of them are combined income.They are not 100% cost effective. as well as so they would not receive that categorical exception that is for 100 %budget friendly tasks and as much as the infill exception, that ' s an extremely site-specific evaluation and so not every task that could possibly. stepped forward would certainly qualify. In fact, several of them may not certify for that infill exception.
To dive a little bit deeper into the Improved Thickness Bonus Offer Option that we ' ve consisted of in these

amendments, we evaluated kind of the region ' s. present development trends and current development trends.
You ' d have blended revenue,. These are usually, it ' s.
a market rate developmentAdvancement You ' ve got a market price developer that could be interested
in providing some affordable budget friendly devices their project task order to get obtain density thickness benefitAs well as or the related concessions giving ins might may with the.
systems as well as the task in these blended income. situations are commonly non-restricted market

price units and also it would be a
smaller portion that would certainly be inexpensive.
On the for sale project. side, we concentrated the recommended new enhanced program on. tasks that would certainly be supplying inclusionary to buy systems. which we usually, in this area, call Procedure J houses up for sale. Those jobs would be the ones that would be able to certify. for this enhanced perk. They would certainly have to add a minimum give 15 %of the homes.
within the development as those cost effective Step J residences in order to apply for this enhance incentive. They can go up greater than that. They could increase to 25% of.
the homes in the development if the programmer picked to do that and obtain a somewhat greater bonus.So, simply to sort of provide.
At the 50% degree, we ' re. I mentioned earlier, the existing state thickness. In order to get that 35%, if.
You can supply low-income.
So, the range set forth in the state legislation and also in
the present code, it needs that you'. provide 11 %of the devices in your project as an extremely reduced devices to get the optimum.
As well as the number is 17%. You ' d have to supply. In between, it ' s simply kind of a math.
if you ' re supplying 50%. it would be a little bit, I ' m sorry 15%, extremely low, it would certainly be a little. below 50% reward as well as so on. On the inexpensive real estate side, these would certainly be tasks. that frequently the region is directly

assisting. They may be offering land, they may be offering. state pass-through funds to subsidize that project, they might be doing several of. these tasks to comply with.Housing aspect goals or real estate follower. agency efforts and more. So, for those we ' re suggesting. to offer as much as a 75% perk which would mean that. the task is composed completely of
lower income systems. or a mix of low and also very reduced. We ' d like to run. you with an instance just to kind of highlight. these various options.
On this slide, what I ' m revealing below is an example of how it. In the case of the site and this site we ' re looking. The state law specifies two things when you ' re kind of.
to the following whole system also if the fraction is like 1.1, you ' re still assembling to 2. With that mathematics under choice one, somebody might come in and also apply for a density incentive on this website as well as rather than just getting 11 units as long as they give 11% extremely low devices which would be two devices in this situation, they might obtain a job with 15 devices and also that would result in an area per unit of somewhat under 3,000 square feet which is not a typical of. that kind of middle medium city density variety. What is recommended in the amendments is that we would prolong that. array approximately a cap of 50 %if they were to give 17
% extremely reduced devices as well as the last task can be approximately 17%. I ' d like to likewise note that. we likewise integrated in a cap in the regulation that no matter. of exactly how the math plays out on this extra reward, that. we would additionally impose a cap of no more than 30 units per acre. So, in this instance, this doesn ' t. hit that high of a density however in a few of the, if allow ' s state it was in. the R-combining area, that this improved reward program is topped at either 50 %bonus offer or 30 systems per acre, whichever is a lower density, or in the instance of the. 100 %affordable systems, it would certainly be 75 %bonus. or 30 units per acre, whichever is lower. So to put it simply, it ' s. never gon na go over 30 units per acre under.' this enhanced program.
On the same website, exact same. beginning factor, very same base, I am showing here 2 alternatives. , if it was a for sale project.. So, among the nuances in the state law and also the existing code on thickness incentive is that there ' s a whole. various moving range for available proposals that.
compared to rental propositions, therefore in the available for sale instances, it ' s thought that the. units will certainly be offered at the moderate earnings variety,. that ' s the most typical.That doesn ' t indicate you couldn ' t. choose to do a lower revenue device however one of the most regular'is
modest therefore the state offers.
a sliding range of reward for those modest income devices. Currently, you may note below that.
For a 15 %moderate revenue,. The formula in the existing code is whatever the quantity affordable is, the bonus offer is 10, I ' m sorry, five percentage points lower than that.

It ' s in the case that they might
deny refute requested incentive or concession giving in ' s requested by a developerProgrammer You ' ve got a market rate developer who may be interested
in providing offering affordable budget-friendly devices their project job order to get obtain density bonus perkAnd also or the related associated that might come with the. In this instance, this doesn ' t. struck that high of a thickness however in some of the, if allow ' s state it was in. One of the nuances in the state law and also the existing code on thickness reward is that there ' s a whole. The formula in the present code is whatever the amount budget friendly is, the incentive is 10, I ' m sorry, 5 portion points reduced than that.In this situation, this
option is not normally utilized very usually due to the fact that it'' s. not a generous bonus offer as well as, when people run a pro.
forma or take a look at this, they may seem like I'' m. having to provide even more devices that I'' m getting as incentive. units so it'' s a web clean. I might as well just do 100% market rate. Currently, in territories where there is an.
inclusionary requirement, their calculation might be.
a little various yet they might not want to go.
It'' s 2 more than the base. In obtaining that', they ' re. It'' s net, it ' s still practically the exact same number.
and also the rationale for this is truly that it seems.
that there sanctuary'' t been a great deal of jobs recently constructed out with Action J for sale residences in them as well as there'' s a significant need for those houses as well as so we ' re attempting to
. provide an incentive here that would certainly encourage extra.
There'' s a great deal of workforce.
housing for their employees and so Measure J residences are one means to help provide that labor force real estate, so we'' re attempting to make that even more feasible via this recommended bonus. In the very same scenario.
under our suggested changes, in this instance, you could.
obtain 16 units on this site with a 15% moderate devices. Now, I may additionally include that.
there'' s a couple other pieces in the thickness.
bonus offer, the existing law and one of things.
that was just recently modified right into the state regulation was an information that a developer can request.
a thickness reward application and job without in fact.
building out the reward systems. It'' s totally at their discernment. Since of some, they could wan na submit that application simply.
of the various other rewards that can be asked for along with the thickness bonus application such as the state has actually a.
a little lower car parking schedule than what lots of local neighborhoods call for so they can get approved for.
that lower parking requirement, they can additionally ask for as much as 3, what are called motivations or concessions.Now, to get 3, you have.
to offer an extremely significant portion of economical.
units in the task or a great deal of extremely low earnings devices. You understand, a lot of the.
mixed income advancements might just get a couple of motivations. And those are points like you can ask for a little adaptability on some.
of the advancement standards, points like setbacks,.
elevation, open room ratios and all of that. You do not obtain to abandon all.
of the development requirements so you'' ve reached truly. emphasis as well as pick which ones are very important for your job. In some cases,.
If a designer desires to maintain their, specifically.
job as single-family houses, they may not have the ability to fit, for example, 16 devices on this website and also it.
might be extra vital to them that they desire single-family homes to market than they definitely need to.
get every last system in there. That'' s an analysis that it will be actually situation by instance,

website by site.In the case of our zoning
. districts that are R1, they still, no matter the bonus as well as whatever thickness they might obtain, they still just have.
the option of offering standalone detached.
single-family homes or at most, a semi-detached which is.
sometimes called duets where you have actually two residences attached together however you don'' t have three. or 4 or 5 straight attached with each other. No even more than 2 affixed in order to be constant.
with our R1 zoning. We just wan na.
reveal you some examples of some buildings that you.
might have seen around town and let you recognize what.
the actual thickness are computed the very same way.
that the state prescribes in the thickness reward law.So, the majority of people recognize.
with the Venetians in Capitola on the beach down there. That computes out at.
regarding 65 systems per acre. They'' re not big, they ' re not tall, it'' s just that'they ' re'rather tiny and there'' s not a great deal of, there ' s not a huge.
parcel on which they establish. Here ' s one more historic. example from Capitola. the Riverview houses. That ' s 6 systems on a really tiny residential property as well as it corresponds to regarding 44, I ' m sorry, 45, a little over 45 devices an acre. Oops, sorry. My computer mouse is going also quickly right here. Okay, here we are. the Volunteers of America.
elderly housing home in Live Oak is 29 devices an acre. Oops, sorry regarding this.Yeah.

We have a property on Hubbard.
It'' s a four-plex, it is. It was restored just recently.
It was developed previously. I think it was integrated in the '' 70s. Right here ' s one more similar residential or commercial property.
in the City of Santa Cruz. It'' s a four-plex, it'' s. about 21 devices an acre. As well as right here'' s an one of the. county ' s current advancements, St. Stephen'' s, it ' s a 100%. cost effective in Live Oak that'' s concerning 22.4 devices an acre.
And also below ' s an example of. I'' d be delighted to respond to any kind of questions.
I know there'' s a whole lot. -Simply a couple questions. Thank you for the discussion and thank you for putting this together.I think I know a lot of difficult work went right into type of a basic direction as well as I appreciate the.
initiatives to attempt to meet what the board asked you for and also I appreciate the moment you'' ve. invested with me and also my personnel to assist me much better.
understand what this indicates. I'' m asking yourself if you might just, you discussed giving ins or incentives around development requirements. Could you just state a little.
bit more regarding what those are? – Sure, so basically, there.
Those are the exact same thing, basically. And also what those are is a designer can ask for some flexibility on any.
of the development criteria and even occasionally, things like.
the timing of cost repayments which kind of point. They need to make a case for it. It is an optional choice which belongs to the.
total job application that would be going to.
the Planning Compensation as well as if it'' s a larger. project, the board additionally. It'' s part of that overall.
It ' s a monetary evaluation. And they can be required. There ' s not a ton of guidance in the legislation as to exactly how the jurisdiction.
make a recommendation to the approving body.
or the reviewing body regarding whether personnel.
really feels that the candidate has made a great case or possibly not a lot. It'' ll depend on a situation by instance

basis.The things you usually will find.
in those type of requests are points like, you recognize, oh can we.
go beyond the height restriction by a foot or 6 inches.
or something like that or if it'' s a really large city task, it may be a larger distinction. It'' s not to wave or toss.
It'' s just asking for, you understand, perhaps if the setback has. 15 feet, in a particular case, they are asking might it.
and forth discussion in the development testimonial.
stage with that said candidate if they'' re asking for something that seems actually unreasonable.
or not likely to be approved, you can kind of overview.
the applicant to claim, well, I don'' t understand if you can. If you asked for something, truly make the instance for that but.
a little downsized, you might have a much better.
As well as in a lot of cases, I'' ve. And also on the development, the.
waiver of growth standard is a various sort of evaluation. It'' s a similar concept incidentally it functions is they have to show by.
sending site strategies as well as layouts as well as whatever is required that it would be literally.
difficult for them to construct the proposed job with the suggested number.
of inexpensive units as well as the complete variety of devices that they would qualify for with a perk if a certain growth.
criterion is not waived. Waived totally. On that front, to give you an example, the combined usage ratio that.
has actually been gone over a lot. This problem of the 50%, 67%.
domestic area restriction. That'' s the type of point. where you could think of someone would ask for a waiver to that because they can state, well, here I have this terrific job, it fulfills all the advancement.
standards generally but maybe it'' s just slightly over 50 %or a little over 67% commercial versus property space in the task however whatever else checks all the boxes.It ' s

a great task, satisfies.
the advancement standards, fulfills all the intent of the.
areas land usage policies. They might request that.
something to be forgoed. Once more, that'' s going to require.
the discretionary review by the authorizing body and also you.
would certainly have to make a decision on whether or not maybe waived and if you chose.
to let'' s state not forgo it, maybe appealed as well as that.
knows just how that'' s gon na go?- Yeah, so thanks significantly however simply to obtain clearness on
. the things like auto parking, elevation, obstacles, riparian barriers, those are all things that could be asked in regards to concessions or.
rewards as component of that.

– Usually, yes. I will state on the riparian barrier. In a great deal of situations, in the.
county'' s general plan, often there ' s not. only a barrier classification yet
additionally that section of. the site might be actually have a basic plan.
You can'' t forgo that. I mean that would certainly not be open to a waiver as well as simply as an instance, I put on'' t believe team.
in the riparian barrier. There'' s specific sort. of sound judgment points that we would certainly once more attempt.
to guide the applicant to suggest things that we assume make sense and wear'' t impair sources.
If, or wellness as well as security and that kind of thing as well as you can refute any of these demands.
they have a straight link to public wellness as well as security as well as they would hinder those things.

– You discussed in your presentation that people could ask.
for the thickness reward yet not really construct the whole thing. Do they get the incentives or concessions even if they put on'' t construct it?- Well, they do need to construct the task. For example, they.
can request for the number of motivations that they earn and also once again, there'' s kind of a gliding scale relying on exactly how much affordability and also they can ask to use.
the state car parking routine. And they would have to inform.
you what the complete number of devices in their suggested project is and which incentives and also whatnot they want however they do not have to.
consist of every one of the bonus devices that they made in their proposal.So, as an example, if it.
was a 10 system task and also they can obtain a bonus.
for three additional systems, they could claim we still just.
wan na construct the 10 system job yet they would be letting.
you understand at that time, so you'' d understand precisely just how several.
systems would remain in the project when you'' re accepting it. It'' s not like they can ' t. adjustment it after the reality.

– [John] Yet with the car park criterion be for the 10 units or the 13 units? – It would be for the 10 devices. So, that the vehicle parking routine resembles the county'' s very own routine'. It ' s depending
on just how. numerous they ' re suggesting to in fact develop there'' s a particular variety of areas per device and also.
depending on the bedrooms etc. So, the state schedule is similar. It'' s slightly reduced and also what
. we see in a great deal of instances is that although they is.
that lower timetable readily available, a lot of developers don'' t. actually go fairly that reduced since they know that their occupants, their property owner or whoever, it'' s gon na be making use of the residential property in fact gon na want and needs.
a little even more than that. So, extremely typically, they go type of in between that state schedule in the local routine and they kind of choice a center ground. – As well as I recognize a great deal of times been taken into kind of figuring out.
the procedure and also whatever yet in your expert opinion, will this cause two even more units and also you have some feeling of.
what that would certainly look like? – I believe we'' ll need to see. how developers react to this.I wear'' t believe we can make
. a very particular estimate now in time however the.
responses we'' ve gotten thus far from all kinds of community members whether it'' s real estate advocates,. developer ' s potential, designers has been very desirable, so it feels like it might.
inspire some brand-new jobs yet I wear'' t assume
we. have a way to precisely, nobody understands what the financial.
conditions are gon na remain in the following 12 to 24.
months, you understand, yeah.

– Yeah, I suggest, I assumed regarding that when you discussed.
about the low manufacturing of Procedure J devices. If you look over the last 10 years, we have a reduced production.
and also Action J devices due to the fact that we had the Wonderful Economic crisis that we didn'' t do and also truly any type of building and afterwards we had a designer option which gave people a chance.
and also virtually all if not all picked that option of.
paying instead of structure. So, there are reasons that we place'' t had actually a. low manufacturing might not, there may be a great deal connected to our policy and maybe touch various other things. In the discussion around. putting this together and the common of this.
tool throughout the county, has there been any conversation.
with the metro or the RTC about web traffic effects? – They have actually not connected to us.We have released the general public notifications and sent it bent on numerous.
firms as well as so forth. Nobody has raised that concern, I think. Offered the trends of fairly.
few development projects per year in the unincorporated.
location in recent times, I wear'' t believe that this will. trigger many growths that it would certainly have a recognizable.
influence on transit services. It'' s not like every residential or commercial property. is gon na be redeveloped all at the very same time. We'' ve had
relatively. low building numbers for a number of years and also component of that is because to have a project, a landowner needs to be.
eager to sell their land or redevelop it themselves. The substantial bulk of.
landowners at any kind of given time are not gon na be interested.
in doing that, right? They'' re living in their.
house or they'' re doing whatever they wish to with.
their existing property. So, I put on'' t believe this is. going to be such a major change that it will activate a significant.
noticeable wave of development all at the same time that.
it would influence transit in the near term, yeah.

– [John] Yeah, I indicate, I.
appreciate your viewpoint. That'' s all. -[ Zach] Thanks, we ' re gon na open up the general public hearing now. This is a chance for.
members of the neighborhood to resolve us particularly on item 7. The number of people want to.
Begin with three minutes. – Great morning, Chair Good friend.
and also members of the board. I'' m J.M. Brown, chair of your.
Housing Advisory Commission. As you recognize, I'' m likewise an.
expert for Manager McPherson however I was assigned to the compensation and picked as its chair.
before I started that deal with the supervisor. It'' s wearing that commission hat that I ' m resolving you today. In support of the commission, I urge you to support the boating of referrals before you.The commission has actually with one voice sustained these near-term modifications twice. Once in principle discussion forum in May and once more, carefully in September. As you may recall, the compensation.
developed an impromptu board in 2017 to interview a number.
of area stakeholders with the objective of gathering suggestions about what the area.
might do to decrease barriers to the growth of inexpensive housing. Keeping that cost, the committee examined or sought input from the complying with groups and organizations over a six-month period. Cost Effective Housing Currently, COPA,.
MidPen Housing, New Way Residences, Advocate Sensible Transport, the Real Estate Campaigning For Network, California Rural Legal.
Help, Eden Real Estate, Watsonville Law Center, Monterey.
Bay Economic Collaboration, Santa Cruz Chamber of.
Business and the housing personnel of all 4 of our incorporated cities.My factor in analysis.
that entire checklist to you is to remind you of the diverse.
series of housing supporters who went to the table.
all set to assist address our budget friendly housing shortage. They stand for a cross-section.
of this community that traditionally, have actually had competing.
concerns and also approaches. Yet, a lot of them have collaborated to look for sensible as well as reliable steps for promoting a lot more budget-friendly real estate and I anticipate you will certainly hear from much of them this early morning. I'' d like to enhance the.
team of the planning department who thoroughly crafted.
these recommendations as well as I praise the public procedure that'' s happened.
with numerous meetings of the Housing Advisory Commission, the Planning Payment as well as.
your board on several occasions. I expect future work our planning team to.
completely modernize our code in keeping with a Sustainable.
Santa Cruz County Plan. I'' d like to.
once again thank participants of the Real estate Advisory Commission that took part in the.
stakeholder interviews that happened over six months which notified these suggestions. As a payment, we are.
committed to replying to the alarming need for a lot more.
economical housing in our region and our company believe that you.
have the possibility to take a big step toward.
Thank you. Excellent early morning as well as welcome back. – Sibley Simon from New Means residences.
this and considering it. Great deals has actually been claimed so I simply.
wan na add a couple points. One is that I'' m simply truly.
delighted with the task that personnel did evaluating the information and generating.
truly certain policies. I assume the information.
make a whole lot of feeling right here as well as I'' m really happy.
with exactly how they appeared as well as particularly, separating.
the policies for rental versus offer for sale perk thickness. I assume is a truly clever point to do. I think this is a little tipping factor in obtaining even more jobs that.
we'' re already gon na take place to include cost effective.
housing, include more of it and our inclusionary statute or included it a little revenue level. I think that'' s wonderful. My variation of answering your.
question, Supervisor Leopold, is my guess is subject to.
all that economic conditions and whatever. It'' s a few units to possibly sometimes, a few tens of systems if we.
get all affordable projects that can be a bit larger per year.A few units to a couple of 10s.
of systems annually tasks is what we'' re gon na see over.
the years to come based upon this yet more of those will certainly be.
I believe it'' s a little. Bit less of an effect as the ADU ordinance.
is the first jurisdiction in our wider area to utilize this, the boosted perk density in specific that'' s been utilized in other.
components of California.And so I ' m truly

delighted to take this as well as to collaborate with a whole lot of. the various other real estate supporters to visit the cities where. this enhanced bonus density will certainly make a larger difference per job, where we have extra bigger. of the tasks of the size where it makes a bigger distinction. So, I assume we ' ll see a big. influence as we'can do this in Midtown Santa Cruz,. in Midtown Watsonville,
in Salinas, et cetera and I'' m excited that.

personnel right here did a great task of developing an example statute.
that we can make use of to do that as well as I believe that'' s gon na be. its biggest impact is more, as we maintain doing this.
job, even more real estate thickness where there'' s transportation.
and also work, and so on where there'' s bigger projects.And so I assume, since.
it'' s based on percentages, it makes sense, it'' s a. little step-by-step action in anywhere where it'' s zoned.
for even more than 5 devices on a residential property which is only part of the unincorporated region and I wish you'' ll support it, thanks. – [Zach] Thanks, Mr. Simon. Excellent early morning as well as welcome back. – Great early morning, I'' m Donna Murphy and also I'' m here standing for.
the COPA housing team as well as numerous of our members.
couldn'' t be right here today but wished to express our.
support for these changes which we really feel are quite small contrasted to truly.
vital requirement for housing, specifically budget friendly.
housing for our workforce. We hope that you'' ll.
Because every, look at these carefully and authorize them.
device is a household or an employee that will certainly have access to.
real estate in our neighborhood. So please support the changes.

It'' s net, it ' s still virtually the very same number. That ' s 6 systems on a very small property as well as it equates to concerning 44, I ' m sorry, 45, a little over 45 systems an acre. It'' s not like every residential or commercial property. It'' s wearing that compensation hat that I ' m resolving you today. I think that'' s fantastic.Thanks. – [Zach] Thanks,
morning as well as welcome back. – Greetings, Chair Good friend
We all understand it. People are enduring. Let'' s not neglect that individuals are in fact, they'' re suffering.
I agree with Mr. Simon. These are I ' ve browsed these, you got a terrific discussion this morning. I believe it ' s the pointer of the iceberg'in regards to just how well your staff has created these referrals. I wear ' t have any problem with any of the particular suggestions. I also wanted to speak a little bit about the this fear of thickness. I really valued the staffs showing a few slides of what
some individuals could think about high density development.I look at those as well as I see a great deal of attractive housing development

. Therefore I wish you see the same point. Last but not least, website traffic. There ' s a recurring conversation in our neighborhood about'website traffic, traffic, traffic. Building more real estate near where people function will have the unintentional or intended effect, relying on your viewpoint of in fact lowering website traffic. Individuals will not have to drive from Aromas to their work in Santa Cruz. They can drive from Live Oak to their jobs in Santa Cruz. Rest assured, building even more housing is not gon na make web traffic even worse, it will make traffic far better. So, please authorize these changes. Thank you. -[ Zach] Thank you. Greetings, welcome back. – Excellent early morning, I ' m Jack Carroll. I sustain these recommended modifications. At the recommendation of Supervisor Leopold, I read the basic strategy as well as there ' s some great information in there that evidently, we have sufficient sites and also with the'right zoning density to satisfy our real estate demands. Why do we still have a real estate trouble? Today ' s inexpensive real estate modifications are little action in the right direction.The CEQA exception itself predicts no growth.
That ' s not truly excellent information.

After you approve them, we ' ll. still have a real estate problem. We require some big suggestions to.
Programmers could not go to the bother up using for a bonus offer. Maybe it can take the lead in resolving some of these real estate problems and instead than reacting to it. Zach]
Thank you. Simply I ' m introducing myself.
My name is Robert Singleton.'I ' m the exec director of the Santa Cruz Region Organization Council or consortium of the 80 or so largest companies in the area and also our largest issue and has actually been for the past. three or 4 years now has actually been housing our staff members as well as better making. sure that our top quality of life in Santa Cruz is maintained by
making certain that individuals right here have. the real estate they need in order to most likely to work, in order to offer
for the areas as well as offer their family members. Incrementally, this is a tiny step towards a bigger directional adjustment and I praise the work. of team and also your board for having leadership to be one of the first territories to consider these sorts of amendments as well as with any luck we ' ll see,. with your management, we ' ll see various other territories. of the areas and cities around the Monterey Bay location and also beyond adopt similar type of policies.Essentially as well as working. with business community as well as trying to bargain our.
best stance forward on housing. We looked holistically.
at the designer option as well as said, while we appreciate that capacity to choose ahead of time whether we can offer units on site. versus paying in lieu charges, ultimately, that is something.
we ' re ready to surrender if it takes relocating the needle,.
relocating the discussion towards how we can get even more.
end result based policies.Policies around supplying even more incentives for establishing budget friendly real estate.

So now, you have. a policy prior to you, much more collection of policies. that do not eliminate any one of your additional.
discretionary authorization. You can still deny tasks. that you don ' t like or that you really feel or not or also. dense for your community however at the same time, you ' re giving the economic incentive and the versatility for developers to wan na do the best point. to'give even more on-site units. As well as so what you ' re gon na. obtain is extra flexibility, more budget-friendly real estate.
units and eventually, far better high quality of life. for the'people who
stay in Santa Cruz. So to me as well as all the work that ' s been provided for the past year right here with.
all the different stakeholders and also individuals associated with this union, all is concerning our head. right below at this moment.Let ' s take all that job, let ' s take all of those.
those positive purposes and all

that all those. relationships that we ' ve built and also really get a positive policy to relocate the needle here
in Santa Cruz. Ideally'a policy the various other. territories will certainly look in the direction of when looking at their very own. basic strategy modifications as well as thickness bonuses. Thank you.- [Zach]
Thanks. Great early morning, thank you for waiting. – Greetings, Supervisor Pal, various other participants of the board. My name is Rafael Hernandez. I ' m with the Monterey. Bay Economic Collaboration, housing program partner. I ' d like to restate what ' s. been
claimed so far by speakers. Housing prices in The golden state and also the basic understanding have actually been driven by.
significant rises popular as well as a trivial boost in supply. The three efforts today, we recognize that there ' s. no fast or very easy options. We have to come at this. from different angles as well as at different degrees. The 3 efforts are being
taken into consideration in this very first set of suggested.

That ' s why
this. If they put on ' t allow for more flexibility, for instance, with vehicle parking requirements, after that they ' re simply making the creation of more housing less practical.', we comprehend in closing, I just wan na say we understand that there isn ' t any type of one large thing yet that is going to deal with the issue.
Thank you. Morning Mr. Dale Cruise, welcome back.
– Thank you, Zack and the. I especially wan na compliment staff. We ' re fortunate to have these individuals.
I ' ve been battling to. And also we drew back on.
well thought out strategy right here, however, there ' s always a however.As you understand, I dealt with Elderly Levine as well as that ' s the new crisis
. that ' s imminent. You ' re gon na see increasingly more of that affordable real estate demand which goes well on smaller sized infill parcels.
I wan na encourage you. There are various other new suggestions that are coming.
There ' s more to do. Specifically, I wan na.
motivate you to consider moving Lasting Santa.
Cruz Strategy into action. It ' s excellent to review it
. but it ' s annoying. That ' s been around for several years and we can see components we could use currently but there ' s no other way staff can'incorporate it right into our developments.The various other concern which. Due to the fact that to be honest with, I need to turn to team. you, I blew up of text. Throughout the Planning Compensation meeting, I thought there was a great deal of
complication among the commissioners as what the staff was
trying to achieve. as well as there was a section which I currently can not find, that perhaps personnel might described to you as well as you might wan na. If I. have those truths correct.So I ' m gon na count on, consider placing it back right into this regulation. people that remain in the understand but at the time I was hearing it, I was believing we need this aspect as well as all the others that are being

offered to you today.
Undoubtedly I ' m encouraging. you to approve it. I wan na praise team,. we work very closely with them in the last year as well as we ' re all privileged to have every one of you. with each other interacting and
the neighborhood that ' s tipping up here attempting to relocate this forward.Thank you.

And what I didn ' t listen to. That ' s an excellent thing. I ' m not satisfied concerning that.
below and also I oppose that.I desire to have a flagging as well as laying statute mounted in this.
region as does Monterey to offer much better public notice. I have a buddy in my political circles that had a Measure J house and also.

I ' m sorry I ' m jumping about however my notes are spread.
She had a Step J home. she wished to market it, the region didn ' t desire it back. She sold it at a lower price. I wan na understand just how many.
As well as I wan na recognize if these. R-combining districts would be limited to within. -Thank you.
Zach] Thanks, Ms. Steinbruner.
– Thanks. – [Zach] Early Morning, Mr. Willowby. Thanks for waiting.

– Tim Willowby, speaking. for Affordable Housing Now. This is a happy day for. Due to the fact that we ' ve been entailed in, us as you can think of. this procedure for a long period of time. I would certainly just like to advise you since a few of the input came from you
. This is called near-term as well as. the entire purpose of this was to attempt to obtain something. to start happening currently because currently we remain in a. situation as well as this is an option. I ' d like to give thanks to the personnel for one, coming up with this. remarkable listing of items that can really relocate us ahead. For Budget Friendly Real Estate Currently, there are three points that we believe are really interesting regarding this.The initially one is that currently, inclusionary will not be. the default beginning factor as opposed to instead. I mean the inclusionary. well be as opposed to in lieu. This is actually important to us as you know because we ' ve we ' ve. spoken about this a lot that if we ' re gon na obtain
some devices, these are systems that are gon na be spent for not by public money as well as. that ' s very'important to us. The second point is that. the best incentives in this whole strategy are for rentals which ' s one of our greatest needs.So, it ' s really skillfully. designed to do that.
It ' s a little. tougher to comprehend unless you start getting involved in it from a developer ' s

perspective however this likewise incentivizes. constructing smaller sized'devices as well as those are the units that. When we, are in most in need of now as well as specifically. reach constructing devices for the reduced income category.
So, it ' s been a long process.
The results are reasonable as well as they ' re sound as well as
. they ' re deserving of your vote as well as we hope that you ' ll relocation this on.
Thanks so much. -[ If that ' s like the actual. Early Morning, Mr. Beyer, thank you for waiting. Of all, I ' m Casey Beyer, the CEO of the Santa Cruz.

, the Preparation Compensation. as well as your area staff for resolving. carefully with a huge diverse stakeholder team for. over the last year and also a half.Today ' s the day to truly. make step-by-step adjustments that profit the area. I won ' t resemble all of the remarks. that have actually been made before however these three minor'. modifications to your ordinances are an excellent starting factor and the concern that. Mr. Leopold, you asked, can we develop what we construct? That is yet to be seen. without these rewards. I would ensure you, you. will certainly not see any kind of more housing concerned account at Santa Cruz County. So on part of the area chamber, thank you for your management as well as I really hope
you ' ll prove. this step today.
– [Zach] Thanks. Morning, welcome back, thanks for waiting.- [Carlos] Morning. My name is Carlos Jurado,. I work for MidPen Housing out of the Watsonville workplace and I just intended to prompt. support for these steps. They will chip away at the. economical housing dilemma we have below in Santa Cruz County.
We have a waiting list for. This year, we got 2,500.
– [Zach] Thanks. Early Morning, Ms. Romero, welcome back. We did get your letter as well.- Thank you significantly for. allowing us to speak today in regard to something that I. take into consideration nearly an emergency.We ' ve been here because, I ' ve been below considering that 1976 so, I got extremely included with real estate and also watched every little thing, concerned board of supervisors conferences and also did not missed out on a single. basic strategy meeting in 1994
which was fairly intriguing.

and an eye-opener. Throughout the years', as I used. to have a huge fat booklet with the entire general strategy. and the zoning done in one book and when the board of. managers made some modifications, we ' d draw out a page. and also place the new page in. And also temporarily, I was able.
to conserve all that stuff, I even kept the page as I tore out however over time, I ' ve.
given that kind of had the ability to recycle points and also.
not have a lot paper. I sort of regret that currently.
that I truly assume back on all of the stuff.
The gentleman who was stating. that 2,400 square feet is a great deal of square footage, it is however I believe he misconstrued, that ' s the amount designated for each and every unit.Out of that comes problems,. all type of driveway, turn-around, fire, whatever it may be. So whatever type of framework. you ' re gon na construct out of that'will certainly be a lot smaller in square footage.

The SRO devices can be as.
little as 380 square feet or 500 square feet as well as I. think that ' s a great location for us to start.
I like the suggestion that. you ' re making an effort. What I ' m anxious about is time. These tasks take so.
much time as well as frankly, I wear ' t have that'far more time left as well as I ' m picturing that
these individuals that are battling to discover something don ' t have much time either.
although they ' re younger.So somehow or another, if it ' s possible to think not in regards to years as well as years to get the housing done.'If we check out throughout the years, just how lots of have been.

built over the 40 years', it ' s not been very lots of. It ' s a tiny number,. and in some way or another, can we really use words. streamlining and also make it'work? I understand that some. individuals are actually worried regarding the setting. Nobody wishes to mess up the atmosphere but nobody wishes to be homeless either as well as I believe we need to consider our future and look toward the suggestions. that we create now. Start with little SROs houses. Build a few townhouses as well as condos so that the people who are. Occupants can move up and also possess something
smaller andAnd also slowly go up the ladder rather than being embeded one. place in something that is, you understand, in a smaller location and you never ever reach move on since you wear ' t
get any type of. equity and also it doesn ' t move. Offer them a reward, those people that are paying. their lease and also succeeding so they can maybe get something. Out of'the inexpensive real estate monies, maybe there ' s a way to do that.I think we need to begin.
thinking really artistically. So I value this as a begin as well as make it truly quick.- Thanks.- Thank you- [Zach']

Thank you. Early morning, welcome,
thank you for waiting. -Hey there, my name is Jamileh Cannon. I possess a style as well as
building and construction. firm in Santa Cruz as well as I am additionally currently establishing. a task in the region. I ' d like to speak with. the programmer ' s hat on today as well as simply say what a big. impact this ordinance will certainly carry the capability to develop. housing in our area. There'' s small nuanced adjustments to it yet they make a really big distinction.
The residential or commercial property that. I ' m currently dealing with, its base zoning as 7 systems. It doesn ' t really pencil at. 7, I can ' t get it to work. Limit density is 16. That additionally is actually,.
This thickness benefit will certainly enable us to have some a lot more. The whole lot supports itself, I could do absolutely nothing with it. That doesn ' t aid any person.
So, I would like to really motivate you to pass

this statute I. would like to say thanks to the personnel and the Planning Payment and everybody who ' s worked so tough on it'. It ' s a truly huge bargain for. producing real estate in our county and thanks all significantly. for your factor to consider. -[ Zach] Thank you. Anyone else like to.
address us on this product?- Definitely, we need cost effective housing
and I hear that word all at time. However, the demand that is so. fantastic is not being fulfilled by
this and seems actually questionable. If this is budget-friendly and I can ' t aid thinking, to me. of that bumper
sticker, it ' ll be a wonderful day when the institutions have all the money they need and also the Flying force needs to have.

a bake sale to get a bomber.The exact same with the real estate.

I ' d like to state what ' s. been
said claimed far much speakers. If they don ' t enable for even more adaptability, for instance, with auto parking demands, after that they ' re just making the production of more real estate less practical.', we understand in closing, I simply wan na say we recognize that there isn ' t any kind of one large thing yet that is going to deal with the concern. I ' m sorry I ' m leaping about yet my notes are spread.
It ' s a little number,.50% of our tax obligation dollars on army destroying houses as well as people as well as having, what is it? That doesn'' t do it. That'' s exactly how I see it, thank you.
Thank you, anybody else like to resolve us throughout the public hearing?- Great morning, Mr. Chair, participants of the board. Costs Park, and I just have a few things. There was a reaction late yesterday from region council regarding my letter which you all saw.I just wan na mention a couple points pertaining to that letter. Region council cites Union of Medical Marijuana Patients for the City of San Diego. That situation is in fact on evaluation to the High court. Who recognizes exactly how actually that will inevitably appear? I do wan na explain that when you will shed discretion when it concerns real advancement jobs. The area council mentions area 65 589.5 handling your capability to do environmental evaluation as well as I wager you that there will certainly be exemptions asserted in future tasks, high-density projects yet subsection J of that section states that anything that complies, you can'' t minimize density as mitigation.You will be linked to density. As in terms of zoning ordinances and also using your zoning statutes, if you up, so currently, I'' m talking regarding the improved bonus. I'' m not discussing state perk need. I'' m speaking about the improved bonus. You will be linked to that as well as you will certainly not have the ability to decrease thickness as mitigations. Just be conscious of that. As well as among the problems actually is, and the area council closes with a statement that claims if the Aptos Council does undoubtedly support thickness raises for cost effective real estate, such specious debates hide its beneficent intent. I wish we'' re not specifying of nationwide politics below. We actually, allow'' s come down.Let ' s have a practical conversation regarding this. Not all thickness misbehaves. Some density is great. I'' m sure individuals would certainly enjoy to reside in the viation. It'' s sea front, it'' s
not in fact a fine example and I ' m sure those units go for over a million dollars however nevertheless, our issue is merely taking care of the enhanced thickness perk and when you consider the moderate concern, the modest income problem, those bonus offers are up to 4x what the state thickness bonus legislation allows.And so we would support thickness bonuses on transit hallways and particular nodes of development yet a countywide proposition that all of an abrupt well established communities as well as single-family residences would have in the center of them these greater thickness tasks that don ' t, that actually wear ' t, aren ' t suitable with the surrounding development. I can consider lots of instances of growth that ' s 30 devices to the acre that would certainly be wonderful to stay in based on area, walkability, sustainability and there are various other jobs that are 10 devices to the acre that you wouldn ' t wan na stay in. Density isn '
t really the issue as much a lot where you put it. Therefore I believe that ' s the absent piece and also so Lasting Santa Cruz Area Strategy, you why put on ' t we get that going and speak regarding transportation hallways, nodes of advancement where this things would be really, truly good so we might in fact generate some needed housing.And incidentally, it ' s
gon na be a hard lift since we were in Coastal California can be really difficult to make real estate inexpensive below yet nevertheless, we need to do whatever we can to aid people who require real estate. There ' s no inquiry concerning that. So, our intent is not to state that your intent misbehaves but merely that we need to believe logically, practically about where density goes.- Thank you, Mr. Park.
– Thank you. -[ Zach] Many thanks for your letter in early this time around. I appreciated that. Is there anyone else that ' d like to resolve us on this product? Seeing none, we ' ll.
Manager Coonerty.- Sure, well first,
thank you to everyone everybody came out today.
from having these voices in the argument? Some things I wan na acknowledge. the personnel that clearly placed in a great deal of time to obtain the information right.
Zach]
We have a. activity, is there a second? A second, Supervisor Leopold. We ' ll just go down the line, see.
– Yeah, thanks, Chair. Thanks to everyone who came out and also for having this discussion. concerning affordable real estate. It ' s really a crucial. part as well as we saw on this simply the current ballot. all the different
ways in which individuals are attempting. to resolve this concern. When we initially spoke. concerning this conceptually, I had concerns yet I claimed let ' s see what.
This is constructing more.
I ' m not sure, it doesn ' t seem to me.
And the idea that the various other housing that obtain built will somehow be economical does not track with. And also considering that land prices aren ' t going down, it doesn ' t appear practical.

It ' ll be more economical than it is'over in the Silicon Valley which. develops a huge stress on our community which I ' m not sure this is gon na settle, so I'believe regarding the kinda. neighborhood conversation we ' ve had.
We ' re gon na see great deals of real estate there and also I would certainly say that we ' re seeing lots of housing being developed there. There ' s currently close.
the First District currently. So, one of things we were trying to do with that conversation around. Sustainable Santa Cruz was to think of the planning objectives that the citizens established out for us in 1978 which is to raise. density in our city core.And to do it in a different way. than what we had done as well as think of those. transportation passages due to the fact that we understand that all the recommendations,. all the scientific research out there says if you can put. individuals closer to areas where they can ride or walk transportation, you can really aid. with great deals of other problems, not
only real estate however reducing. transportation blockage, lowering greenhouse gases
. As well as that we also discussed little units as a part of means to, to resolve that yet we were trying to. do something to sustain and also enhance the. walkability of communities. Our financial growth strategy is based around that similar concept.And so when I took an appearance at these things, I asked some inquiries around, you know, is this excellent land use preparation? The community, the unincorporated. community of Live Oak is a fantastic

instance of. absence of metropolitan preparation. Santa Cruz Region, not. that lengthy ago, in the ' 70s was the 7 fastest. growing region in the state.
That was a structure.
You have whole lots of cul-de-sacs, you put on ' t have things linking up in any kind of kind of purposeful means. As I think regarding the future, I put on'' t wan na repeat the. We ' re expected to be.

And we do that in various other, we'state that we do that in various other areas however when we take a look at facilities investments, we wear ' t make those choices because way. We don ' t we have formulas that are based simply on the. number of miles, of roadways, not on where the housing. is gon na be constructed, we put on ' t make facilities choices about where parks are gon na be built therefore metropolitan locations that. need parks wear ' t have them as well as need to scrounge for cash as well as we don ' t think about. where individuals will go for'basic products, right? Should we be constructing thick real estate in an area where people can ' t also
walk to obtain a gallon of milk? You know, so, clever growth says we must be lowering lorry miles took a trip and we should consider the placement of our our services as well as our housing together.And then we have a transit system, a system that people always. talk concerning sustaining but then we make land-use decisions that are not connected. necessarily to those to the transportation system that we have which is when we considered the Sustainable Santa Cruz Area Plan, we considered our transit hallways to try to think of. enhancing thickness there as a method to both promoting individuals to use alternative transport. and handle the reality that we ' re gon na be requiring. less car parking spaces. There ' s feeling in those in those concepts. So when I looked in. simply the First District, I assumed well, if we. really continued on with the discussion'we. have with the neighborhood, the buy-in that we obtained and also the plan that we accepted in 2015, what would boost thickness
resemble and also exactly how would this device be used? Well, if you
look simply within 200 feet of the transportation hallways
. in the First District, it ' s practically 600 acres of land.When you check out the homes. or the zoning designations that at the very least the staff has actually informed us are the ones more than likely. Points like RM-2.5, RM-4, RM-4PP, RM-6. There are almost 450 parcels within
200 feet of the transit passages. As well as if you consist of the other.

residential classifications of R-1.5, R-1.6, that ' s one more 320. So to me, I ' d like to sustain these thickness bonuses.I assume they should be in show with the conversation. we ' ve had with the public as well as with the with the. Also we, intending goals that we claimed that we
aspire to even. sanctuary ' t ended up the job. And'we need to begin by saying allow ' s do it along those transportation quarters. We must be motivating as well as.
incentivizing advancement along those transport.
hallways to obtain this built. It ' s questionable whether it ' s. gon na add inexpensive housing. We had our previous. inclusionary zoning regulations. Over 35 years, they ' ve constructed. about 500 systems of real estate.
It ' s virtually 15 devices at a year. Will certainly this be substantial. rises over that? It'doesn ' t search in'that models and in the examples that I have seen. And also even the advocate said possibly tens. As well as I don ' t wan na minimize that somebody looking'. for affordable real estate that that comes to be essential.
I assume you additionally wan na. If we ' re gon
na do this, I ' d like to see if the.
– Now, I wouldn ' t approve. that as a pleasant amendment. I comprehend what you ' re. claiming and I ' m actually, obviously those are the kinds of jobs that I wish come before us. Offered the neighborhood ' s initiatives, offered the staffs ' job,. I ' d like to implement it as they gave us and after that we can make tweaks in the future.- Yeah, I understand that as well as I assume we tried 3 years ago to state well, we ' re gon na we ' re gon na. make it simpler for people, we ' re gon na provide. this developer ' s option and also it led to specifically.

absolutely no budget friendly housing, it ' s like, regarding I can inform. I understand we lost cost effective devices.
Virtually 10 devices in the. District that I ' m conscious of. Therefore, I ' d like us to be.
a bit extra targeted in our effort this moment to. really obtain what we state we want which is boosted density.
along our transit hallways that would certainly sustain'both budget-friendly housing that support a transportation system so we won '
t be years from currently trying to take care of the transport.
Manager McPherson.- Yeah, great points. And also I do believe that we, I believe that contractors as well as our organizers will certainly maintain this sustainable strategy trying to obtain these into.
for not checking out notes or the display as well as simply discussing the, really, the outs and ins. of this entire situation and I'' m truly impressed. with the varied group
of stakeholders that have. took part in this. This is going to make it doable, I assume and also we require more understanding in our governmental procedures. below and everywhere else especially
however I believe this will help us as well as I assume it ' s properly to deal with the absence of budget-friendly. real estate in our community. I believe this strategy is. something Santa Cruz Area can do to address our. housing dilemma, fairly simply.Housing is gon na remain to be one of the biggest issues. that we have in our area as well as I think it ' s essential that we bring our code right into placement.
with the state standards that have actually been developed.
It makes good sense to.

increase density in locations where we can support the.
act limited cost and also I believe'that postponing. costs, an element of this till the last strategy. will make it extra versatile and also monetarily much more viable. to obtain a project began. This will certainly aid us, this will assist in the. predictability, as I claimed, as well as it ' s something that we actually
need, that costs was truly. demand and also allow ' s get real, someone ' s gon na construct these systems and I would like to
have it be regional building and construction'individuals as well as. I assume we can do that as well as if it ' s a lot more reasonable. and also much more affordable for them to get it, there ' s high. prices for them in this day to construct the real estate as well as I. think this is a right method to go. It ' s been a long haul and I am truly happy we '
re gon na hear to the.
last to the goal.- [Zach] Thank you. -Yeah, I wan na give thanks to.
certainly, we do have a crisis and also we have to consider. extremely low-income households and low-income families so they can manage to keep functioning right here keep. supporting their family members.
The cautionary note that I am making is I wear ' t like to see extremes. When the market a few years. As well as so we didn ' t do much.
of as far as building budget friendly housing.
Currently, we ' re at a various duration and I put on ' t wan na see an. As well as let ' s claim we construct a hundred homes, after that we ' re speaking concerning what. And also the framework has to maintain up what we ' re looking
at and As well as hope wish are looking at that and we are thinking about regarding.
on at the very least the tiniest level when any kind of project comes through, they do pay their. proportional impact costs that
are to cover the extra solutions that are related to. what they ' re structure which would consist of institution charges.- Okay. After that additionally, again, where.
are we gon na place it? There ' s a whole lot of stress of, we need to have a room to build this and also density does have its issues. Anytime you place a great deal of. density, there ' s no
backyards as well as exists gon na'be space. for parks in the future for people to be able. in fact, neighborhood parks, where they ' ll be able to go to? -Right currently, there'' s absolutely nothing considered that would certainly take room that area for parks and transform it to a different use.- I recognize, that ' s something that we need to be extremely mindful of.'But the other obviously is prime farmland. We ' re gon na need to secure that. We ' re chatting

concerning a$'700 million, the$ 700 million it is generated. generally by the farmland as well as invested the majority of it. is'70 %in South Area. 'we ' re gon na have to secure that, so at the very same time, the stress is securing prime farmland and also after that likewise how much density. can we manage in other locations'.- Yeah, I ' ll simply restate that. There ' s nothing in this job that would certainly enable building on.
farmland that is protected.

– You bet.'And also we always have the issue. that was pointed out previously. Someone ' s for all this.
Not in my community. So, that always comes up.
If you bring up a terrific, even. idea for a community park, there are people that. Due to the fact that homeless individuals, claim we wear ' t want a park. are gon na sleep there as well as then that ' s the trouble. we ' re trying to deal with with the inexpensive housing, so.
We'have to spread it out, we. can ' t put all of it in one area. To ensure that consists of North County,'. South Region, Mid Region. Okay, thanks. I ' m gon na sustain this. due to the fact that we remain in a dilemma. We do have to resolve it yet.
just the cautionary notice, not just run off and also develop.
– All right, thank you once more. Thank you for the presentation. Thanks for their work.
We really go to a defining. minute in our community as well as individuals, also in this. economic situation or questioning why today ' s paycheck isn ' t. covering following week ' s costs or exactly how numerous'work they have to work in order to afford housing.It ' s easy to be against something. It'' s easy to use worry to develop inertia however we see what takes place.
when we don'' t handle adjustment, we'' re living in it, which is.
to say that we have an economy that doesn'' t raise enough.
money for individuals in incomes to really be able to pay for housing as well as we'' re at'a deficiency now that ' s tough to get our means out of. So, I assume that this.
board, as I'' ve said before, will certainly be judged by the.
area moving on about the actions that.
we'' ve taken this year and also in future years to.
assistance address this issue relocating forward.I think this is an. crucial action toward
that yet a few of these. disagreements, retired debates that have been utilized in. the community for 30 years and they ' ve been used to oppose whatever and also as an outcome of that,. people are actually having a hard time in components of my
area, parts of Supervisor Caput ' s area have more than 20 individuals staying in a residence.

As well as since land costs aren ' t going down, it doesn ' t seem realistic. We ' re gon na see whole lots of housing there and I would suggest that we ' re seeing great deals of housing being built there. If we ' re gon
na do this, I ' d like to see if the. It ' s been a lengthy haul and also I am actually grateful we '
re gon na hear to the.
Now, we ' re at a various duration as well as I put on ' t wan na see an.We can do better than that. This is, you know, Santa Cruz County can do far better than that as well as it begins with the elected authorities as well as I assume that this is an
vital very first action for them.So, we have a movement as well as a second. All those in support? Aye, opposed? – [John] No. – It passes, four to one. We'' re gon na take a brief 10-minute break. 10 minutes, and then we'' re gon na come back for the 10:45 set up thing. I ask forgiveness about the hold-up
on that particular which is item 16 as well as we'' ll come back and address product 16. Ready? We'' re gon na return right into session and also do the 10:45 set up
product a little bit late here but which is to take into consideration thing 16 to consider proposed ordinance changing the Santa Cruz Region Code by adding phase 5.49 connecting to single-use
personal care products in the friendliness industry. As well as schedule final fostering
on December fourth, 2018 as outlined in the memo of myself and also Manager McPherson. We have the statute of Santa
Cruz Region Phase 5.49, the hospitality plastic reduction, pollution reduction statute and also I'' ll briefly present the product which is to state that we got to
bent on by Save Our Shores and also some various other local
environmental organizations regarding using single-use plastics generally within our community.And one such area that we understood might in fact have a. quite significant result would be
leading the fee in the country of banning these single-use plastics within the hospitality sector specifically within the washrooms. Many are conscious of the reality that. you get single-use shampoos and also conditioners or body. washes as well as frequently, those are discarded as well as. here in the Monterey Bay as led by Tim Guntroff and also. others here in the area, we ' ve been not simply exceptional. guardians of the environment but leaders in the nation on.
outlawing single-use plastics and securing our aquatic environment
. This looked like a reasonable first action toward some of the other concerns that we ' ve been functioning. on a plastic decrease. We consulted with the sector, we had very effective meetings with them. They expressed simply a. couple components of concern that we included right into the ordinance relating to making sure that. there would be lodgings on ADA as well as a couple other small. things but keeping that claimed, we ' re at the table throughout the procedure and also I was extremely pleased with the truth that they were really open. to what was going on, comprehended the significance, recognize the importance of.
I'think you ' re proper, I'believe the very first in the nation and also I assume it really. To lead by instance.
As well as I assume we ' re gon na. I ' ve spoken with some.
For exceptions readily available for undue challenges.
– And also just to provide one extra point prior to I open it up for the community. I have already spoken,. as Manager McPherson to other territories within our county and also beyond our region. An extra instructions on. the ordinance would certainly serve by the maker of the. motion would be to route the chair to send the. regulation as well as to write letters motivating all the various other. territories within our county
to participate at the very same time so that we can harmonize our statute across the entire county.So, open it up currently for the neighborhood. I value those that have. been here for a lengthy time waiting to speak on

this item. There ' s a chance for. you to speak to us on product 16.
– Great.- Welcome.- I was gon na begin with greetings but I guess it'' s good.
mid-day, supervisors as well as thank you for the. chance to talk below today. As youknow, I ' m Katherine. O ' Dea, executive director at Save Our Shores and I am talking today not just on behalf'of the company but our thousands of constituents that live here in this county. in also Monterey Region. Initially, I wan na applaud. you as a controling body for the ecological leadership.
you saw often display and also to thank you for being on the brink of taking an additional pioneering step forward in the war that we must. wage on plastic pollution. We ' re excited, extremely excited. that you ' ve tipped up in much less than three months. As well as in less than 3 months, are acting on at least among the six plastic pollution concerns we'' ve asked you to attend to. That is to ban using single-use plastic toiletry containers in the hospitality industry.According to our research study, an. typical dimension hotel or motel offers more than 23,000, 23,000 of these tiny. containers to visitors annually. Presuming that we have around.

30 hospitality services running in the unincorporated. location of our area, that ' s 700,000 little plastic bottles entering the waste stream every year.
Due to their size these. containers are not recyclable, suggesting as high as. 65,625 pounds of plastic just from these little toiletry bottles goes for landfill every year. Stopping this volume of plastic.
contamination is significant. We highly urge. you to pass the statute and also praise your leadership in doing so. At the very same time, nevertheless,. we ask for that you take into consideration shortening the suggested implementation as well as enforcement timeline.
Considering that we know a number of hotel chains have already started to relocate far from these single-use.
products to bulk dispensers and also that the switch. from single-use bottles to bulk dispensers actually conserves each ordinary dimension hotel a. minimum of $2,000 a year, we think this regulation.
need to work no later than December.
While we recognize the proposed timeline gives neighborhood hospitality
businesses services to plan intend the change. Like to advise you that there is
a need for even more action. We have actually sought this
board.
Thank you. Zach]
Thank you, thanks for advocacy on this problem and also many others. Good afternoon as well as welcome.- Great afternoon, thank you, individuals.
I simply took a trip of the Dimeo Lane recycling
facility up north as well as if you sanctuary ' t done. it, I encourage you all to due to the fact that it ' s an eye-opening experience.They are really slated. to stop procedure by 2050. So because they are basically at capacity and also we ' re in a serious situation of'what do we perform with all of our rubbish', I discovered that anything.

with 0.5 %contamination does not get reused. You look at all these little. single-use hair shampoo containers as well as they all most like you ' re. gon na have residues of shampoo or cream so they '
re, like Katharine stated, are not going to obtain reused. I assume this is a small action and also
I believe it ' s one that. we can lead by instance as well as show various other neighborhoods that we are really at the forefront of this plastic contamination that. we ' re all mosting likely to take care of currently and also right into the future. So, I truly motivate that.
we relocate a little quicker, do it in, I think a year is sufficient time to obtain all these hotels and also in the hospitality sector all set. We have many regional. suppliers that might provide these companies with hair shampoo.
bars, things like that, amongst a variety of other things.So, I actually wish we can relocate quick and I additionally applaud your. guys ' believed on the problem. And also it ' s a crucial one. It ' s a small
action yet it ' s. really important, so thanks. -[

Zach] Thank you. Good mid-day and also welcome.
– Excellent afternoon. Currently, you ' ve voiced the fact that you would be leading the. A wider issue.
Plastic contamination is such a. challenging and also'tough concern to materialize to a great deal of people. We ' ve currently established. that these little bottles
aren ' t recyclable anyway but this is just one of those things that is really, extremely substantial to people. What normally takes place with plastic, it doesn ' t really trouble any person. It ' s extremely separated, the troubles appear to. be escape in the sea or in different nations. and'a great deal of our regimens in the daily training course of. life are just routines that aren ' t very handy as well as I assume this is a fascinating one because it is very substantial and also you enter into a resort.
We are seduced by the benefit and by the beauty of.
That ' s what we do in resorts
and as well as, this gives offers an opportunity and gives our residents an.
It ' s in fact less expensive not to have them and it ' s one of those ridiculous points that we come to be habitualized to. Once again, I think it ' s really excellent on all matters and also it ' s very interesting to the area at big. I ' m here today on behalf.
It ' s modern actions like this that make me and also so many others so proud to live below in Santa. Cruz and also call it house. I prompt you today to think about the passage of the recommended regulation to.
transitioned by December 31st, 2019 as well as furthermore, it will. save the area costs in clean up and also mitigation initiatives. So, it ' s a win-win for.
all events involved as well as what ' s a lot more is these toiletries, plastics are not actually recyclable like it ' s been stated.
unless they are recycled. There ' s no uncertainty that. there ' s no straightforward service to plastics as well as it'will.
chance for Santa Cruz to blaze a trail and lead.
by instance as soon as again in the direction of a much better future.

So, thank you.
– [Zach] Thank you.
Any person else like to. address us on this thing?- Bear in mind reading this. post, the plague of plastics and while this is small.
I offered them, went to a talk.
open, its body was loaded with various sorts of plastic and also it killed it. We truly require to chat regarding. removing certain things and restricting certain points. While this is well-intentioned. and it ' s a tiny area
, the issue is so substantial. I just really feel like it ' s kind. of like pacifying the public that we ' re doing. something when it ' s entirely inadequate.
With the fires taking place today and also all the particulate issue'in the air, there ' s a lot plastic. I believe it ' s cancer causing,. that it simply huge. We truly require like a guideline that if something is not eco-friendly
or compatible with the atmosphere, that it can ' t be utilized. Since of, it simply can ' t. this sort of devastation. So, and after that I bear in mind. when this board passed
the solitary bag prohibition and also plastic, in the exact same law it stated, I don ' t know the exact words however that the plastic manufacturers can obtained some cash'to. manufacture bags plastic but they could be utilized greater than once.So what ' s that ' s doing? That ' s advertising plastic. And until we can get a hand.

quiting the companies from creating'and polluting,. we are simply buried in this and I saw a Chinese kid as soon as where a few of this plastic. has been sent out from our nation to China which I assume. they ' ve quit doing, accepting it in China and also. this rosy-cheeked girl, and she ' s just obtained all
this'plastic and also they ' re attempting to reuse it.

Just how to stop the air pollution.
That ' s the issue. Thank you.
Zach] Thank you.Anybody else'like to address us? – Great afternoon, Chair. Good friend and also managers. My name is Ashley Blacow-Draeger. I ' m a Pacific Policy and also. Communications Supervisor with Oceana as well as I'' m likewise a new
local of Aptos, having actually resided on the Monterey. side of the peninsula for greater than a years. I do value the. enhancement to the movement, Chair Good friend, of providing. duplicates of this regulation to cities in Monterey too. as the Region Oceana ' s workplaces in Downtown Monterey.'Be pleased to talk in support of this when it obtains to that side. Of the of the bay.
So, I presume I just desire. to reiterate as well as resemble many of the helpful remarks made by those that talked prior to me in supporting this ordinance to forbid these little. single-use plastic containers for toiletries within the resort field in exchange for either. wall installed frameworks or other big refillable containers.As you
currently understand, there ' s. a great deal of resort chains that have actually currently been making the button.

I value the board ' s. continued trailblazing as serving it as a design for. In the passion of time, as I said, I resemble those declarations made.
time and also your thoughtfulness as well as your management on this, say thanks to
you. -[ Zach] Thank you, welcome. to the Second District. -Thank you.
– Sorry regarding your representative.
( Ashley laughing) I ' d say you don ' t obtain to choose them yet you really do every four years. Okay, seeing none, we '
ll.
I still think that it makes feeling to maintain it where it ' s. at as well as I ' ll describe why. In our conversations with the sector, first off, that ' s an upper ended timeline, a number of them already claimed that they would most definitely. We believed in order to maintain them on board, which they ' re already on board, we need to keep that timeline.
It ' ll be shortened for them however it kind of harmonizes. I ' ll step to approve. -So, there ' s an activity with.
Okay, so there ' s a movement.
of the advised actions of the added instructions.
to guide the chair to create to regional jurisdictions to encourage them to participate in this from Supervisor Caput, a 2nd.
– Simply actual briefly, I.
wan na thank Give thanks to Our Shores and and also everybodyThat' s been out there. I believe your campaigning for.
is making a distinction. When we starting to recognize, I can inform with both me as well as my children.
the ubiquitousness of plastics as well as after that the effect.
we'' re making to change. And after that we have actually adhered to.
up on your letter and I'' ve been asking area council what we can and can'' t do legally to take additional steps on various other.
things therefore I believe this is, I value my colleagues progressing, talking with the sector as well as.
Thank you. Thank you so a lot for your work. We'' ll action on to item eight which is a public hearing on.
the 2015 CDBG accomplishments and also to consider the 2018 CDBG.
notice of funding available and also leading principles as outlined in the memorandum of the planning director.Where they recommended 2018. CDBG directing concepts and also the activity funding. restrictions chart for 2018.
Did you miss us? – Thank you. Once again my name is Suzanne Ise, primary coordinator with the real estate area of the preparation department as well as today, I'' m presenting a discussion on part of Julie Conway,.
our housing manager. She needed to leave for a trip out of community for the Thanksgiving holiday. So, I will go through.
the presentation today relatively quickly yet I enjoy to stop as well as respond to questions.
if you have any kind of questions. A pair of kind of housekeeping items for the members of the.
public that might be here. , if you are interested in the.
.
2018 moneying opportunity, we have a sign-in sheet in the.
First, just to evaluate. One, we ' ve given in your. As well as the third product is.
to obtain public input on any type of reasonable real estate.
worries in the neighborhood or if there ' s anybody in the space today with experience on these kind of issues, we ' d more than happy to listen to input on the status of fair housing conditions in. the area right now. Fair real estate has to
perform with. real estate discrimination, so families with children commonly have time leasing units because property owners. are bothered with kids damaging the device and.
points of that nature, people with specials needs.
commonly face difficulties discovering easily accessible systems.
as well as those type of things.So, that ' s what we suggest by
obstacles to a reasonable housing

option. Second, we recommend that you examine and also take on the assisting principles which is affixed to the. report on this product today. This directing principles. document was accepted in 2014 to guide the choice. of proposals for the 2015 application for CDBG funds. So we ' ve taken a look at that and
just made a couple of. little small updates to it for the purposes of the. honest 2018 application. And also lastly, to route
. the staff of the board to arrange a public hearing.
for Tuesday, January 15th, for the board to hold a hearing. on option of proposals to be included in the county ' s application for 2018 CDBG funds.So, just to evaluate briefly, the 2015 give success, the county'looked for and.

got $2 million in funding. CDBG funds originally our government funds. They are given to the state,. a large pool of these funds as well as then the state holds a. competitive application procedure to solicit
propositions from mostly smaller and also a lot more country territories
. throughout the state to contend for those state CDBG funds. The area is one of those even more country or smaller sized territories that is eligible to use through that as well as the. area was awarded$ 2 million.

It ' s a tiny
step but it ' s. really importantVital so thank you. It ' s actually less costly not to have them and also it ' s one of those mindless points that we become habitualized to. Once more, I believe it ' s actually exceptional on all matters as well as it ' s very useful to the community at large.( Ashley laughing) I ' d say you put on ' t obtain to choose them yet you actually do every four years. I still think that it makes sense to keep it where it ' s. at and I ' ll discuss why.Roughly 1.4 million
of that was used to help in funding the Davenport
Recycled Water Job which we were extremely pleased with. We had a wonderful ribbon-cutting
occasion a few weeks ago up in Davenport. The rest of funds was
used to provide 3 grants to regional public solutions agencies that were supplying
homeless aid programs and likewise some outreach
as well as aid programs for farm worker households
in the North Coast area of the county.And an additional task which was a real estate recovery job at the cost effective housing
building known as the farm which lies in SoCal. They had the ability to replace
some aging hot water heater as well as 11 of the devices with about
$ 40,000 in these CDBG funds. Every one of the jobs have been finished as well as we are at the end of this month, we'' ll be transforming in our
closeout records to the state as called for as well as we have a.
public info binder on the fourth flooring at the county, at the planning counter which has a great deal of in-depth information on the 2015 grant and prior CDBG gives that the region has actually gotten. if any person is interested.
they'' re welcome to come in and assess those materials upstairs. Following, I'' ll go briefly.
through this presentation which concentrates on the.
new funding possibility, the 2018 Notification of Financing Schedule occasionally described as a NOFA. To examine what our CDBG funds, they are government funds that were produced via a law established.
They can profit lower-income.
They can eliminate what. made use of to be described as a shanty towns and curse which.
is basically referring to architectural conditions.
like low quality housing, often it can be substandard.
or deserted businesses or any type of things of that nature, inadequate facilities etc. To resolve.
immediate community requirements such as calamity healing.
which we are very aware of below in The golden state and also CDBG funds are typically made use of.
post-earthquake, post-wildfire, post-hurricane to help.
restore a community. What is the lower earnings.
degree currently in the area? Many individuals are not aware that.
the actual reduced earnings limitation for the purposes of this federal program is much higher than you might guess.So, for a

household of 4, it would certainly be just under $90,000 a year. That is your gross pre-tax income. You may not really.
feel all of that in your pocket since a great deal of it is.
coming out of your paycheck however that'' s exactly how its assessed for the objective of.
getting approved for this program. For smaller sized homes, if.
you'' re a household of one, it ' s $ 62,650 for a. family of one, once more, that'' s gross pre-tax income.The sorts of

tasks that are eligible for this new funding opportunity.
are comparable to prior years. They include housing programs. These are basically lending programs that are used to either.
potential homebuyers or low-income homeowners.
who are low-income. That is one group. The second is rental real estate.
recovery tasks. Those would be something.
similar to the one I discussed at the farm. Frequently, if a residential property is older.
than that particular one was, it may call for even more.
considerable rehabilitation that could set you back upwards of.
several million dollars, so you can use for as much as three million for that kind of project. Public enhancements and also centers, comparable to the Davenport recycling plant. Again, as much as 3.
million total is available for those kinds of applications. Preparation researches, we.
might submit possibly one intending research study. That'' s normally the jurisdiction or in partnership with probably.
a social services firm or one more kind of area organization may collectively submit an.
application for a planning study.Enterprise funds is a sort of. financial growth task that can assist microenterprises, little services as well as that kind of thing with like a rotating financing sort of program and public or human services. So the catch below is that no matter of these separate caps. on each type of task, the entire application. that the region sends can not go beyond three million in total. If for example, we were. to send an application for 3 million for among these two bigger. resources job groups, we wouldn ' t be able to. submit for anything else.
Exactly how do interested firms use? Well, we will solicit letters of passion and we have a pending pre. application for– -[ Ryan] I ' m sorry, I. wear ' t mean to disturb.
Offered the quantity of time, we have the quantity of number. of products we have actually left, possibly a summary of. this would certainly be handy.
– [Suzanne] Okay, sure.And I am simply around done right here. I get to the following slide for you. Crucial days. The due date for applications.
for outside teams is December 10th. The following board hearing on the product, we'' re requesting it be.
arranged for January 15th as well as the area application.
is due to the state on February 5th. And also so I have some call.
information up here. If anybody is interested, they'' re welcome to find. conversation with me in the entrance hall after the presentation or speak.
Any type of various other concerns from board participants before we open the public hearing? Is anybody from the board that'' d like to resolve us on this item? Seeing none, we'' ll close.
a comment Mr. Chair for me. – Yes.
– Customarily, Davenport obtains the bulk of the funding. No, congratulations on that long-deserved as well as a very significant job.
It means whatever to that area so I think that'' s great. I would such as to point out that we, some of this was, in my district as well as the City of Santa Cruz for, I think 108 individuals over two years for stabilizing individuals to be housed at the housing.
of the homeless center.These are great programs. They struck the target and extremely significant. Thanks, once again, Suzanne. for the wonderful presentation.
– Yeah, so I ' d like to. relocate the suggestion as well as likewise include in that. My genuine thank you to. personnel who advances consistently actually excellent. tasks across the county that benefit low-income people in manner ins which the issue. in their day-to-day lives. -[
