CC / LRA Minutes - 06/25/2024
• City offices will be closed tomorrow morning from 8:00-9:30 am so that staff can attend some mandatory training regarding workplace violence. We want to make sure we are in compliance with our state regulations which requires that we hold this training before July 1s' so city offices will be closed during that time so everyone can attend.
• City offices will also be closed on Thursday 7/4 for the 4th of July holiday. The offices are also closed on Friday 7/5 as part of our normal schedule. • Our 2024 elections are upon us and this year the Mayor, Councilmember District 2 and District 4 seats are up for election. That nomination period will begin on Monday, July 15th and will go through August gth at 5pm. All candidates, including incumbents who are going to seek reelection should contact the City Clerk and Elections Official for more information, and to make an appointment. • The Riverbank. Tuesday market will begin on July gin. There's going to be vendors, entertainment and a kid's corner in the plaza. And so that is here in downtown. • Our next movie in the park will be Saturday, July 13th at Jacob Myers Park, where they'll be playing the Guardian. Bring your snacks, chairs, and blankets, and the movie starts at dusk.
• As part of the city's update to its housing element, we are required to seek input from the public. The city has developed a survey that has now been posted to the city's website for residents, developers, and interested parties to help identify housing conditions, needs and priorities. A public workshop is being scheduled for Wednesday, July 31st from 6 to 8 pm at the Riverbank Community Center. If you'd like to put that on your calendar. Now, we are going to agendize and public notice that particular public workshop which will allow both the Planning Commission and all of the City Councilmembers to attend.
Item 12.2 Council/Authority Member
Councilmember Hernandez reported on the following:
• Thank you to Christina Avalos for hosting the Mexico Magico event. It was great and it's a really a celebration of the Mexican culture here in the community. So, thank you.
Councilmember Uribe reported on the following:
• Took another tour of Cannarise. The owner reached out. They wanted to just kind of share an updated business model kind of their future development. And we do have several DA agreements coming forward to council. I just wanted to take the opportunity to meet with him, and just ask questions about how the business is going.
Attended the cultural event that councilmember Hernandez mentioned. I spoke to the public about the City's continued support about these cultural events, and the appreciation of just holding that event here in Riverbank means a lot to our Hispanic community, and everyone, please have a safe 4th of July.
CC / LRA Minutes - 06/25/2024
Councilmember Barber-Martinez reported on the following:
• Attended the Public Safety Committee with the League of California Cities. We discussed retail theft, mental health and substance use disorder treatment. Just want to mention that there were 12 retail theft Bills that were sent to the Governor's desk for signature. The district attorney's initiative to reform Prop. 47 was also discussed, and we will be in support of that. The homelessness, drug addiction, and theft reduction act. We voted to support that and this measure would increase penalties for trafficking of hard drugs, including Fentanyl. Increased penalties for those who repeatedly engaged in theft add new laws to address the problem of smash and grabs and organize retail theft and provide diversion programs for repeat offenders. Retail theft has been experienced by every single city, whether it be large, small, or whatever. But I think every city that was on that committee with me we all had the same sentiments that something needs to be done. • Attended briefly the Juneteenth event that was held at our Community Center. / wasn't able to stay, but the beginning of it turned out perfect for me, and I think that it was a good event for people to learn about other cultures learn about your neighbor and just share information.
• Remember that safe and sane fireworks sales start Friday of this week. • Our bicycle rodeo, kids' health & safety annual fun fair is on July 10th from 5:30 to 8pm, right out front here. And with the heat, please remember to stay hydrated Check on your neighbors, especially the elderly. Happy July 4th to everyone. Be safe.
Vice Mayor Jones Cruz reported on the following:
• I just wanted to thank the city staff and everyone involved for making this happen tonight. I wanted to be there, I could not. And I really appreciate all the changes, and I know it wasn't always convenient, but it was important. And I really just wanted to voice. Thank you.
• I do have a couple of things on my list here. You heard me reference several phone calls that / was calling back folks today and going over with them. And you heard me talk about the parks one, the other one was housing. Housing is a hard one and I'm just going to take a couple of minutes time here, and just say a couple of things that are near and dear to my heart. This whole housing thing is a very complex complicated issue, and there's so many pieces that have to all fall into place. And this is coming only for me personally, and I've been questioned and scrutinized on why I vote like I do. Please continue calling me and asking me I'm happy to go over any of those personally with you, / encourage that process. But voting on housing it's complicated, and it's taken a long time for me to kind of get all the pieces there, I just wanted to kind of just in a nutshell talk about it. You know, there's always 4 or 5 different things going on, and there's 4 or 5 different points of views, and there's some things that have to be done and follow the law. So, when we get up here and vote on items, they've gone through quite a process through planning etc. But I think one thing I'll get to the point here, when we have comments and / appreciate the public interest. Folks that have concerns about the size of our
CC / LRA Minutes - 06/25/2024
City and how we're growing and where we're putting tiny house villages and that process of having special interest groups and folks coming in and speaking at our council meetings are very, very important. Keep up the good work, keep coming to the meetings, keep giving us your opinions. Your opinions are important in this process. It's important that we hear all sides whether we agree and I'm speaking when I say we me that we don't always necessarily have to agree, but we do need to hear all of it and be respectful of everybody's different opinions. This is a process that is not always easy to go through. It's long and involved, and the Mayor will always say its government, and it takes a long time. And then, when things take a long-time price increase. There're all kinds of layers to coming down to just a yes or no vote. And sometimes, when a yes or no vote is cast by myself there are all these other things that are not maybe visible. That have gone on to get there to that vote and / just want to kind of put that out there. River Walk is a very hot topic and / appreciate those folks, and I appreciate their point of view that come in and tell us. But remember, there's always another side of the coin, and we have to really think of those, and I take it as my job to look at both of those sides. Then look at where the city has to stand in and what the city's responsibilities and job is to our constituents. I just wanted to kind of throw that out there, to just remember to always show a little grace and some patience, and make sure to stop for a moment and think and listen to others opposing ways and ideas. One thing you don't hear a whole lot about is the farmer that owns that land. I'm speaking only for myself. I went out and toured it, and it's beautiful. I'm completely torn. 3,800 homes.
That's a lot and to see that ag and farmland go away. Yes, I hear all the comments I hear, all of them. but sometimes we don't see some of the things in the background the demands that the State puts on us. The demands that the county puts on us. Those have to be taken into consideration, and I just wanted to personally just speak a little bit about that tonight. And just kind of share something that was on my heart, that those votes that we make for housing, and some things have been you know, planned for months down on the road that's finally now coming to council. Those votes from us, me, they're not done lightly, and they're done with all of those pieces considered and they're all really important pieces.
That land. One thing / want to say, is right now, the farming and the investment that they made, this is the other side of it. They can't sustain that farm. Yes, it's beautiful, ag and farmland. But I think in my opinion the writing on the wall is, they can't sustain that. So, being good business people, they are out trying to find an alternative. I'm not saying the alternatives good. I'm not saying that at all. All I'm saying is that there's not just one way of thinking of this. You've got to have an open mind. I have to have an open mind in all of this, and I hope that some of the things that I've been mulling over in the last few weeks and months, and with the opening of our new Costco, and celebrating that and how fabulous was that. What a showcase for Riverbank! But it brings traffic! And with those kinds of projects all those heartaches and all those struggles goes along with it and it's complicated.
And there's so many pieces. And I think that we / can do a better job of definitely just keeping an open mind, keeping an open mind to all of the sides that we hear all of the people's opinion, because there's not just one right way and hopefully, hopefully, sometime down the road we can come to a consensus on this housing.
The state. If you really want to make a difference. That's where your words and
CC / LRA Minutes - 06/25/2024
your votes and you're your time spent is well done, because the State puts demands on us. Sitting up there, me I that we have to take into consideration. If we don't vote and work on these housing projects we lose grant funding. If we lose grant funding, we can't do projects like the crossing for the church, widening bike paths. If you can tell I'm pretty passionate about it spend a lot of time on it. I just want to encourage people to kind of stop, take account spend some time and ponder, and I love what the Reverend says. Remember, our goal here is, we want the city to be the best city ever, and it is, but we want it to continue to be that. And we want it to be like longevity. What we do now makes huge impacts years from now, and we dont even realize it. So those are pretty heavy-duty things for councilmember to think about, and when I'm scrutinized and yelled at for the way I vote there you have it.
• I just want to thank all of you for the job well done for the city, the Rec department.
I want to wish all of you very merry 4th of July. Please stay cool out there. Please check on your neighbors, and the four-legged furry friends don't leave them out in this heat. It's really hard on them. With that I'll end.
Item 12.3 Mayor/Chair
Mayor O'Brien reported on the following:
• At the end of this fiscal year, / wanted to basically say a couple of the things that you said Vice Mayor, but I'll be less eloquent. Marisela, again your staff has performed magnificent this the last fiscal year. Tammy, you did a great job on the budget. Parks did a fantastic job. / wanted to mention the planning commission. / know that they get bombarded like we do if you haven't watched the planning commission, they are bombarded pretty heavily. Why are you only directing certain buildings in a certain district where you should spread it, and you know they take the brunt also. Anybody that forms a committee we are going to get the public coming after them, and I'm sorry that that happens, but that's the way it is. / wish it would be a little bit more respectful. But with the planning commission over the last 12 years, they have done some magnificent work which allowed for the development, the economic development that we're doing in the Crossroads West Shopping Center with the Costco is bringing in an increase of 11.8% in sales tax alone. Which is well above our deficit that we created plus, there's going to be other quality economic development there. I know the City of Modesto was asked.
Mayor was asked, what do you plan on doing for economic development? And he said, it was before Zwhalen, annex Riverbank, and is true. We are doing things that no other city is doing, and I want to thank the staff for all of their patience. And when you transition the $36,000 for Office 365 if there's any room for training. I'd like to be trained. I'm having difficulty spelling 365. • I want to also comment on the housing as you spoke Vice Mayor. Secretary Yellen today commented on what they have to do from the national perspective to increase the housing not in 10 years, but between now and 2030. 3.5 million unit's, single units between now and 2030, and California's deficit in housing has to increase. Or you're driving people to homelessness. You're driving people out of your area because you don't have enough housing that is competitive instead of
CC / LRA Minutes - 06/25/2024
being gentrification of your housing. I had some others, too. But I think, I went on, I didn't want to top the Vice Mayor.
