Thank you.

Thank you, Councilmember. Very good afternoon to everyone here. Members, we have a, obviously, a two o'clock meeting. We then have a closed session and we then have a five o'clock.

Excuse me.

Good. Then we will meet at five o'clock for the annual Summer City Hall presentations, which we very much look forward to.

But let's get to this afternoon's meeting. We have a consent calendar. Are there members that want items to be heard or voted on separately?

Well, let me go randomly. Okay, we might raise the hands.

Okay, let's just go around the day is here. Councilmember Vellas, we will.

Yes, I just have a question for staff on item 22.

22. Okay, Councilmember Town.

Your mic.

Well, comment on item 11 and also refuse myself from item 12, just in case there's any conflicts.

Very good. Councilmember Kaplan.

Thank you, Mayor. I too want to comment on item 11, quick comment on 12 as well as 16 and then I'll have questions on item 21.

Councillor, 16.

So 11, 12, 16, quick comments and then 21. I have some questions for staff.

Very good. All right. Let us open the floor so to speak for the public and hear from the public and I'll get to the council members.

Thank you, Mayor. I have one speaker on the consent calendar, Macworthy, on item number four.

Good afternoon, Mayor. I'm going to speak to Patan to the water here of facts.

And I'll be able to be challenged by any engineer that in this region of state of California.

You're not shot of water. The river used to run down where Jay Street and the telephone company used to be the second of the river.

They changed that. When they drilled down, we had water bubble out of the upper months before they stopped that backup.

No idea of just savage water when the river is up, have ever been put on the table.

I'm going to put some on the table here. Okay. When the sewer was changed, the storage was just two or four land park to O-Park.

That's 12 foot deep. I don't know how to put water.

Now if you put pockets beside the river, when the river get up, the water go into there.

And the river go down, pump it back in. It's just a common sense, savage in the water.

No, you put on the public shoulder to pay more developers.

See, if you had a broad end to the people to own this, lives here, to own this city,

it had been some of the powerful people here of business would have been.

But no, you referred to go to the people that make the money and run.

So people to the jump, you're going to suffer for water, lying about water.

One engineer stood up here and said, there's going to pump water to the ground.

That's right. You have to come to St. Colton. How do you service a whale?

Suck to singing out a geolid deeper.

Thank you for your comments. Thank you for your comments, Mary. I have no more speakers.

All right. Thank you. Then let us go through the items with the members.

One to speak or ask questions. Let's begin with item number 11.

I have council members, Kaplan and Tom.

Thank you, Mayor. First off, I would like to thank staff, Jennifer and team on well done job on receiving this grant to really look at

Norwood Avenue and my district as well as going into district one.

You know, the study of transportation is one of the busy thoroughfare of the neighborhood.

And a lot of kids cross the street, a lot of community use the street.

And we really want to look at how we can make it more pedestrian friendly, more traffic.

We have a great bus line that goes through there as well as potential commercial development in a Dupasano area as well as the Robinson center.

And so definitely this will help definitely enhance that area.

Thank you. And I just want to further add my thanks, but also know that like this is the beginning and one part of many as it's planning.

Specifically, you know, of what you know, council member Tal very well, Norwood junior high school right off of Norwood.

There are no sidewalks. So when we talk about complete streets and safe routes to school, we as a city have got to do better because Norwood junior high school has no safe way for our kids to walk or ride their bikes to get to school as well as moving through Norwood from the west side to the east side where
