• Better and faster routes
• Wider variety of routes to areas within the city. Most are dedicated to MSJC • I would Uber or Lyft before using public transportation • Increase routes, ex: no fast routes to Heritage for those of us who live in areas outside school bus zones.

At least, not in our area.

• Provide service within the city
• Add additional route just inside the city
• NA
• Widen roads before you institute public transport programs. Adding busses to your over crowded streets is a horrible idea
• Need more bus stops and punctual scheduled for workers in the area. Had daughter-in-las in Menifee who is a student teacher that couldn't find a ride to a school in Winchester so has to use pricey Uber.

Need more bus stops by schools.
• Paint bicycle lanes without a road diet & widen paved roads where safe bicycle transit in bike lanes can be provided to encourage its use and access to other regional bike trails for safe commuting • Shelter at waiting points.
• Pick up and drop off at the home and direct route to other towns without a transfer in the city of Perris or others
• Provide lost cost shuttles in areas where seniors and low-income residents live • School busses
• Make it free and expand the lines.
• Safety
• I don't know enough about it to have an opinion
• Provide a free Trolley service like the city of Temecula does • More stops are needed, closet stop to me is 2 miles away

Q. 26 How Can Broadband internet access be improved?
• We need city wide internet access for everyone. We should have wifi go all residents … Also, Verizon has poor coverage within the city .
• Incorporate SMART cities methods. Make it part of the infrastructure improvements. Make internet accessible to everyone.
• Upgrades in service
• Dont know
• To have more internet company.
• Lower cost
• Not sure how the city can do anything about it, the service providers are the general problem. • The City should negotiate a reasonable rate and service availability with providers. • By providing access to everyone.
• Increase infrastructure for internet
• I don’t have internet again Romoland it’s 2021 and hard to believe that no internet is unavailable • Improved speeds and services without the price increase. Speeds are always slow. • Unfortunately more towers
• No need
• More competition to lower rates
• Be more consistent without so many outages
• The internet strength could be better -- I have Frontier and it would be nicer if it was stronger.

Thank you.
• Speed
• NO OPINION
• Free, high quality broadband
• Yes
• More providers
• More providers offered in our area. We do not have options. • More options
• By letting the broadband internet providers know about deficiencies in their service so that they can make improvements. There is no need for the city to meddle in this connection. Frankly, the city needs to work on its own communications with its constituents. The recent expose on Menifee 24/7 left the impression that our City government is unable to the fund the community's needs while buying a new PA system for the Council's Chamber that cost more than some houses in town and debating how much largess to bestow on a high tech shade structure in Central Park to host concerts when that venue has neither the ambience (next to high density housing) for that use, parking, nor traffic infrastructure to support the many cars such a use would necessitate.
• More competition. Some areas have no choice and the provider is horrible and/or overpriced. • Tell spectrum to lower their prices and stop taxing us taxpayers and billing ys like Newsome will do to give to the poor
• Offering affordable services to low-income people
• Encourage other broadband companies that can provide better faster service to provide for this area
• Bad carriers should lose contracts and be replaced by open bids • More providers, possibly short distance wireless providers Item Title: 11.1 Community Development Block Grant 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan Preliminary Priorities Discussion Item Page Number: 35

• Create more infrastructure that will support improved service • I dont know
• Make it more accessible
• Providing conduits to service throughout the city.

• Internet connectivity seems to be slow overall in the Menifee area. • Housing track in front has good internet they are offered a good service versus us it’s not available. We have paved streets.
• Provide more choices. Sun City part of town only has Frontier or mediacom. Both have issues. • More internet providers that serve the Menifee area
• I run my business through the internet and many times my student have problems with connections etc. Two of them have had to upgrade speed just to use Facetime or Zoom. So it seems some areas have very low connectivity even though they have Spectrum or Frontier. • More Options.

• Cannot
• MONEY
• Provide services for low income and senior citizens.
• More reliable options
• More providers available in the area
• Install a better network troughout the city. Better advertisement of possible services being shutdown.
• Allow more competition of companies by bringing more companies into the area. • Internet should be consider a utility need. High speed internet infrastructure should be available to everyone at an affordable rate.
• Faster , cheaper and more options
• Prices need to be fair and cheaper. Not everyone can afford the high prices. • I have lived in the same spot for 8 years and what is now Spectrum (changed names several times since back then) has a stranglehold on my area and is the only provider. This allows them to price gouge myself and residents charging nearly $100 for decent internet. Internet is all but mandatory for school aged children these days and the fact that it is so outrageously priced with no alternatives is a serious concern. Low income families, of which near me there is a large portion, are at a serious disadvantage if they cannot afford it. I have struggled to pay it in the past also.
• Frontier in Menifee is too congested
• The city should be working hand in hand with the 2 largest providers, Frontier and Spectrum, on ensuring proper coverage of the city.
• More broadband/internet options in all areas of city
• I can afford to have high speed internet in the city i live in…if i cant afford the rent or mortgage of an area, i should find somewhere more suitable to live… • Faster

• More provider options
• More affordable competition, increase companies
• More options to service providers
• More options for internet providers. It’s a racket with minimum options. • Make more choices available to all and don't restrict to just one provider Item Title: 11.1 Community Development Block Grant 2022-2027 Consolidated Plan Preliminary Priorities Discussion Item Page Number: 39

• Allow more companies to provide internet service not just frontier and spectrum • Work with providers
• Make it better
• Have more isps available
• Provide fiber internet to all houses. Have cable and phone company options available. • I think if there was businesses and well-paying jobs $26 - $55 an hour) in Menifee. It would give more families a opportunity to secure more income without having to drive a hour more to accomplish.
• Invest in upgrades to existing technology when available • Stop letting t mobile pay you huge money to install their 5G towers and destroying the other providers
• Na
• Make it cheaper
• Larger support infrastructure.

• Allow Spectrum into Sun City so they can offer their Senior rate @ $15 month • I don’t know
• More choices
• Not sure as I’m not familiar with the current broadband infrastructure but, sometimes reliability is slow.
• Better access
• Multiple providers and making sure the public knows which ones are in this area. When we moved here, we were marketed strongly by a internet provider that when they came to set up told us they were not in our service area. We had to reset our plan and find another internet provider and it took two weeks before we had internet set up. Very frustrating. • Get the providers to provide connectivity in all areas of the city • Survey the neighborhood to develop valuable statistics. • I wish I knew
• Offer less expensive service (Maybe Menifee internet Sevices) and more reliable services to Menifee residents
• House by house surveys and via city website and information campaign to identify older communities where a demand exists but providers have not invested. This could include use of grant funds but only if will not result in a monopoly and price gouging in the future • Provide wider access.
• Don’t know
• Mandate the Internet providers to improve coverage, speeds and access. • I am not an internet specialist.
• The quality of broadband internet is not good at all in Menifee. I hear everyone complains about bad service. Of internet within the city. Something needs to be done to provide faster better service without interruption and such low speeds.
• More carriers available in All areas not have designated only • The city should run it's own ISP
• Competition
• I do not know. Just fine with me what we have.

MEETING DATE: February 2, 2022

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Menifee and Menifee Global Medical Center.

DISCUSSION
The City of Menifee is consistently working to develop and build a safe, thriving, and premier place to be. In this mission, city staff works alongside local partners, organizations, businesses, and agencies to build upon its existing success. The City strives to continue to enhance the quality of life for its residents, businesses, and regional trade area. Strong components related to jobs, amenities, infrastructure, education, parks, public safety, housing, and healthcare help create a great quality of life. Since Menifee’s incorporation in 2008, its population has quickly grown over 80% and is now over 105,000. The City and its regional partners have consistently been working together to improve the quality of life for its community residents and surrounding region. While working together, the City and its regional partners work on advancing the region as a regional medical economic hub for excellence in healthcare from birth to end of life care, to research and development to cancer care.

The City of Menifee’s Economic Development Department recently completed the City’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), and narrowed the concentrated industry outreach plan to four main categories, of which healthcare firms and medical uses were one of the four industries identified. Through the continued development of additional healthcare amenities, physicians specialized networks, and care, Menifee could more easily diversify its local economy, enhance medical care, and overall health of the City. This would provide needed care not only for Menifee’s fast-growing population needs, but also creating a much-needed and targeted healthcare careers locally in the region. Within the last three years, Menifee has added over 50 new healthcare businesses and networks and is working hard with local partners to attract Item Title: 12.1 Memorandum of Understanding with Menifee Global Medical Center Item Page Number: 1

2 new research facilities, and new healthcare firms and businesses bolstering the overall industry in Southwest Riverside County.

Background
Menifee Global Medical Center (MGMC) is currently the only Medical Hospital Facility in Menifee and their mission is to support and maintain a full range of specialty services that serve both Menifee’s inpatient and outpatient acute care needs. MGMC is confident about providing Menifee residents and the surrounding region with the most comprehensive, personalized treatment plan available in the healthcare industry. Over the years, MGMC has looked into expanding the hospital with additional office facilities for patient care, possible physician medical and local nursing school, and partnership opportunities for local student pathways at the hospital.

Memorandum Of Understanding
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with MGMC, proposes a partnership that would help advance healthcare in the City and region through co-promotion. The City and MGMC would work together to support, enhance, and explore the possibility to strengthen healthcare in Menifee through the healthcare workforce. MGMC and the City would explore opportunities to expand the medical facility and identify strategies to support the medical needs of Menifee residents and the surrounding region. The City and MGMC hope to identify enhancements that would help to develop the medical facility as MGMC’s central hub, thereby allowing Menifee to be recognized as a regional medical economic engine and hub or become an “anchor institution” playing a much larger role in the vitality of Menifee and the region.

Staff is recommending an allocation of approximately $30,000 for approval of a professional services agreement at a later date. This agreement would provide for marketing, feasibility studies, health needs study or any other partnership requests to accomplish the set goal of advancing healthcare in the Menifee region.

STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Livable and Economically Prosperous Community
Community health is an important subsection of physical, mental well-being of a city, and collaborative initiatives between a city and healthcare can assist community members to maintain or improve their healthcare, prevent the spread of infectious and chronic diseases, and prepare for natural disasters. In addition, to prepare our existing and future workforce for the healthcare needs of today and tomorrow, as part of the City's existing Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) and Industry specific needs (Jobs Blueprint Plan), by focusing on regional community health partnerships together which can both directly and indirectly equate to a higher quality of life for Menifee residents- by being able to reduce commute times, enhance opportunities for higher income local jobs, and enhance financial health, and happiness overall.

Through partnership, a regional economic healthcare hub or "anchor institution" can play a major role in the social and economic vitality of cities. Healthcare institutions, and government agencies, and other entities, must partner together to adequately address the multi-faceted, social drivers of health disparities in communities, while simultaneously bolstering their economic advantages.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day
MEETING DATE: February 2, 2022
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Mariana Mitchell, Community Services Manager REVIEWED BY: Jonathan Nicks, Community Services Director APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RECOMMENDED ACTION

1. Discuss the staff provided recommendations for Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day; and

2. Provide additional direction for City staff.

DISCUSSION
In 2009 California Assembly Bill 717 (Cook) was signed into law declaring March 30 th as "Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day" in California as it was the final withdrawal date of all combat and combat-support troops from Vietnam. Shortly afterward, in 2011, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution designating the same.

This day is set aside to commemorate the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and their families and is part of a national effort to recognize the men and women who were denied a proper welcome home upon returning home more than 40 years ago.

At the February 17, 2021 City Council meeting, it was requested by City Council that staff bring forward a recommendation on how to implement Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day in Menifee.

After consulting with community partners including the local VFW and several veterans resource groups, it was discussed that a recognition event held in the City Council Chambers on Welcome Home Veterans Day, March 30th, would be an appropriate setting to pay tribute and honor Menifee residents who served in the Vietnam war with an official ceremony and certificates of appreciation.

City staff is open to other options or additional components at the recommendation of City Council.
