good evening

major and city council members

my name is Daniel Alvarez

I'm a carpenter at local 46

I'm just curious to talk about the benefits that the apprenticeship does

and how it has changed my life

before I work on the trace

I used to work at restaurant

I sold cars

I did a lot of stuff

and I joined the trace and

I became a carpenter

that apprenticeship gave me all the skills and the knowledge to perform all the job

and the best I could

now I'm able to afford a house

and I can provide to my family now

so I'm proud of that

and I want to keep it that way

bringing jobs with privileged and

giving more opportunity to more people

thank you

thank you

all right I don't see anybody else signed up to speak

good evening mayor

vice mayor members of the city council

Jason Bairman your city manager

happy to report on several items this evening

horn barbecue

the third location

this dining concept from acclaimed area

area chef Matt Horn

we're excited to welcome

horn barbecue in Elk Grove

council and public I would call that the city provided a loan guarantee

through river city bank in favor of Sloanlow

and the amount of $500,000

by pledging funds already on deposit

the bank is collateral for the loan

the loan is still active

and no city funds have been forfeited

most of the loan funds guaranteed by the city

were used to make permanent improvements to the building

and purchase equipment and fixtures

which remain in place

and will be used by the new owners of the restaurant space

in September the city partnered with SMUD

and the city of Sacramento

to apply for a charging and fueling infrastructure grant

through the department transportation

we were notified this week

that the application was successful

and 11.6 million dollar grant

will help us to install electric

vehicle charging stations at nine locations

five of those being in the city of Elk Grove

at publicly accessible locations

as we begin to implement the project

the city would be working with SMUD

to engage with the community

about the benefits of electric vehicles

members should and is present and 9.1 is to receive information consider resolution approving

the legislative principles and procedures for calendar years 2025 and 2026 oh you go

okay good evening mayor and council members my name is crystal love lizard i am your community

engagement and government relations program manager tonight i'm going to briefly present an update

of the 2024 legislative session is this is playing quickly the slideshow mode

and now you're good okay and the keyboard should take you to the next steps thank you as you know

our legislative affairs program tracks and engages on proposed state and federal bills

to look out for the best interest of elk grove we use the city of elk groves legislative principles

as guidance the 2024 legislative session was very busy again no surprises um of the more than 2500

bills introduced this year one thousand one thousand uh 206 made it to the governor's desk

governor knew some veto to 189 and signed one thousand seventeen into law so like every year

this presentation will very briefly cover a few of the notable laws it's important to note that uh

last year was the second year of the 2023 2024 session so all statutes took effect January

first of this year unless otherwise noted okay of the over 2500 bills it you know we saw a multitude

of topics covered but there were several major themes legislatively so these four areas were where

we saw a lot of activity so none of these i'm sure are surprises to any of you so we're going to go

through these budget deficit retail theft infrastructure and climate and then of course housing

and homelessness so starting with the budget the legislature closed a projected 47 billion

dollar general fund deficit across the three-year budget window using a broad array of budget tools

that you can see listed here in these bullets um as you know as well as i that the funding shifts

delays and deferrals impacted several important programs however the budget deficit this large

required a lot of concessions on all sides so the budget challenge had a big impact on the

legislature in 2024 another big topic that i know many of you know uh was retail theft um so

both the senate and the assembly focused on this in 2024 and made public safety reform a top priority

last year the city of elk grove joined a significant number of cities across california on the yes on

36 coalition the voters passed proposition 36 by a wide margin last november okay there are a lot of

actions in this space but i wanted to highlight these 11 bills this was a noteworthy package of

retail theft bills that all were passed last year they were designed to deter retail theft and um

represent basically a significant policy change for california

okay the passage of the infrastructure and climate bond act last november will provide a significant

amount of funding to make california more resilient as it faces the effects of climate change

a high-level overview of the funding priorities are listed on this slide

um sorry the majority of the funding will be used to address water and fire related impacts

i imagine like me all of you are watching the news today about the horrific fires down in

southern california these types of events are becoming all too common and our hearts go out to

the residents that are being evacuated and the first responders on the ground we hope to do

many good things with the opportunity presented with this climate bond

okay the legislature strengthened its policy on wetlands last year ab 2875 declared that it is

state policy to ensure no net loss and a long-term gain in the quantity quality and performance of

wetland acreage so this is something we will be looking at and taking into account especially our

community development department okay to continue the state's goal to reduce dangerous solid waste

going into landfills sp1280 prohibits the cell of propane cylinders unless they are reusable

or refillable although this has an effective date farther out so we have time to get ready for this

we saw numerous bills focus on the speeding up of the transition to electric vehicles

these two bills illustrate the impact on our local planning decisions and again things that

will impact our community development programs similarly there were many bills passed in 2024

aimed at speeding up the housing approval process and focusing specifically on fees

so these again are four bills that illustrate some of these changes

okay um let's see a major focus in 2024 no surprise was housing and homelessness

so this we saw many changes to the housing elements these are two just two examples of

changes to our conservation element and our safety element so there's going to be a lot of just

planning changes housing and homelessness again major focus these were two bills illustrated

I feel like we could talk all night about housing and homelessness I did want to note that the city

of Elk Grove opposed AB 1886 but we were unsuccessful but there were a significant number of housing

and homelessness bills again this year as illustrated again by the rena changes so this

is a change to our housing element and it introduces two new categories to our low income

housing element so there's just more guidance that's going to come from

hcd in the future but this are again many many changes that we will be taking into account as we

proceed forward housing enforcement again you can't have housing without enforcement so SB 1037

was a bill that the city of Elk Grove strongly opposed along with the California League of

Cities and many others on the grounds specifically this third bullet here that for any local agency

act or mission that is arbitrary capricious entirely lacking in evidentiary support contrary

to established public policy unlawful or procedurally unfair we felt that was vague and up to interpretation

but we were unsuccessful in our opposition to this bill so again SB 1037 is another

bill that we will consider moving forward okay I could talk literally all night about housing but

HR was very closely watching this bill so I wanted to note AB 2561 which requires local agencies to

present the status of vacancies and recruitment and retention efforts at public hearings at

least once per fiscal year but it really dealt with if there was an excess of 20% within a

bargaining unit that's when that's sort of triggered but HR I'm sure is on this watching it last but

not least AB 98 was something that our economic development program closely watched and the

city of Elk Grove did also oppose this dealt with prohibitions to newer expanded logistics uses

like warehouses near sensitive receptors unless a whole myriad of standards are met

we were also unsuccessful in this opposition as well we didn't lose everything so we had one

really giant win that I would remiss not to mention so Senate Bill 739 this bill empowers the city of

Elk Grove to use the construction manager at risk contract model for the new zoo and its related

infrastructure ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency in this development so we

again greatly appreciate the partnership with senator Ashby for authoring this bill and shepherding

it through and getting it ultimately passed so we say thank you again to her and that was huge and

some of the bills that we opposed did actually fail so we had AB 2557 did not pass and AB 2593

as well so I just want to put it on the record that you know we do not win every battle but there

are some that we were successful in opposing in in partnership with other cities looking ahead to

2025 and 2026 we begin the first year of a two-year session there are over 30 new lawmakers up at

the capitol so lots of new faces we are anticipating significant policy changes at the federal level

that we're watching and adapting and then also noting that there's still a projected two billion

dollar California state budget shortfall so there are still budget challenges ahead that we will be

moving through so that concludes what could be a very long presentation any questions thank you for

that excellent presentation at this time I will open up public comment I do not have anyone signed

up I'll close the public comment I have a couple of questions as it relates to the bills that we've

opposed or whatever positions we've taken actually is it possible to get in the future or even for

these you can send it to us the scorecard I would like to see where our local leaders landed on

these key bills with the mayor like just our you know Ashby and Nguyen or the regional leaders maybe

regional just to get a good just to get a sense of where where you know how they're voting yeah

and if they're voting in the interest of not only our city but other cities would be would be helpful

I think yeah that's all I have for that any other questions looking to the left looking to the right

no further questions thank you for your report thank you all right well we are sailing through

this agenda here we do have a resolution that is part of this item so that we would ask council to

take into consideration oh yes absolutely and the motion is you see here to adopt the resolution

approving our legislative principles and procedures for calendar years 25 and 26 so moved second all

those in favor please say aye thank you all right next up is our council comments reports future

agenda items I'll start with council member Speese I do have two thank you madam mayor first

um on the ev charging uh the grant congratulations um good work I mean that's uh having more ev

ev ev charging available for residences is a very good thing and then um I'm bummed Mr. Paulin I'm

I'm sad to see you go um but you know I think the the budget as I've mentioned before is kind of like

the the lifeblood right and everybody always wants to know about the budget but then the minute you

start getting into the budget people are like oh too much information right so um I just want to

thank you for the time that you've been here I know you were here of course during our our tax

increase right and that that was that's definitely some work and you know managing measure e and all

of that going forward I want to thank you for your service that that you've given to Elk Grove and

Sunnyvale I guess it is Sunnyvale Sunnyvale Sunnyvale Sunnyvale got a win um not as sunny as here

though but um congratulations to you thank you very much for for uh everything you needed for us

in Elk Grove thank you thank you uh council member Brewer I just want to piggyback on

council member Speces comments for um Mr. Paulin and his service to Elk Grove as that's finance

director when you manage the budget um it's more than just uh making sure the numbers add up it's

making sure that we stay um fiscally clean and healthy because when people when we do our audits

and we're going through the process we want to make sure that we're reaching not only fiscal

muster but also fiscal ethical muster as well and um through you and your team you do a great job

of navigating those waters being very cooperative with the auditors and making sure that not only

are we reaching compliance and meeting compliance but exceeding it um and so it's very important that

when when when Sunnyvale has you that they definitely utilize your you and in all aspects

because um having a a a a a a a a a a whistle clean a report um goes a long ways towards um

a city's fiscal health and so I want to thank you thank you so much for for your leadership all

these years here and and walking us through the process and and helping it make sense for us in

layman's terms thank you council member suan thank you mayor uh i'll start off with uh thanking

matthew as well for your service you not only uh i wanted to also echo the sentiments of uh council

members brewer and spece but uh you help walk us through our biggest financial commitment and

in terms of the the zoo and helping everyone understand uh that decision from a financial

perspective how how uh you know we could afford it or how it would affect our our budget so that's

that was a great task so we really appreciate your effort there and your and the rest of your service

to to the city I will just say I'm not sure I didn't realize we we developed a little turf

for going on with the city of Sunnyvale right now so I think you're gonna find we were better

no I'm just kidding I'm gonna go there um for my rest of my report we had our sewer district

meeting today council uh vice mayor robles and I um nothing to report out there and then uh next

week will be um my first meeting as chair of sacramental council of governments thank you

all right and our um vice mayor matthew just wanted to say thank you um kind of echoing

our colleagues statements you made a great impact in our city and we're definitely gonna

miss you we're looking forward for for the great things you're gonna do in Sunnyvale

and um wish you the best of luck out there thank you thank you and I will also start off by

thanking mr pollin for your service and dedication to our city for our strong fiscal health balanced

budget something that you know we don't take for granted we know that it's not something that most

cities can say including our state so thank you for for all of the work that you've done keeping our

fiscal health study so appreciate all that you've done and the best of luck to you in your new role

wishing you continued success and today I did attend the state of public safety address from

our district attorney tian ho I have the opportunity to speak uh in regards to proposition 36 but happy

to say that you know one of the best things about our da is that he is big on collaboration

and he invited um two of our county supervisors we had non-profit leaders we had um painful stories

from a family who lost their son to fentanyl poisoning and just you know just proud of the

work that he's doing and it's just great to have such a strong partnership with our district attorney

and with that that's all I waive my report madam mayor I do have one more thing I gotta add on a

little bit for mr pollin here please the unfunded pension liability and bringing that down sir most

people are never gonna talk about it because it's not terribly exciting but it's it's important it's

it's an issue that's plagued a lot of cities across not just you know just not the area but across the

state and so um again congratulations and thank you thank you so much for your kind words I so

very much appreciate it I wanted to thank the council uh for their support of infiscal stewardship

the city doesn't end up in a place like it is financially by accident it's the series of a long

uh long series in history of really good decisions led by you and your colleagues and those those

who came before you up on the dais and implemented by the team led by led by Jason I'm very proud of

the work that my team and I did here thank you so much for your kind words we did a lot of good work

here and I'm sure that Jason and Jackie are gonna find a leader worthy of Elk Grove and the finance

department so thank you so much appreciate that thank you thank you sir before we adjourn I do want

to adjourn in the memory of those we've already lost with the fires um happening down south so our

thoughts and our prayers are with all of the impacted residents and a shout out to our

consumers fire and our regional fire fighters that are also going down there to assist in this

horrific moment so wishing everyone safety absolutely um during this difficult time

so I will go ahead and adjourn at 6 39 thank you everyone and happy new year
