Date: April 19, 2023
COMMITTEE REPORTS
CM Lind attended a meeting of the Criminal Justice Council Committee, for which she is the Chair. The Criminal Justice Council has an ADHOC committee working on this year’s study focusing on behavioral health needs in our county. The first portion of the study focused on law enforcement and counseling. This year’s portion of the study will focus on the courts and jails. An item that came out of the meeting is that the Sheriff’s Department reported to have 17 people waiting to determine if they are competent to stand trial, some have been waiting for two years without services.
CM Lind attended the Scotts Valley Chamber of Commerce Awards Gala and presented the Claire Hodgin Beautification Award to the Scotts Valley Community Theater Guild.
CM Lind commented on how wonderful the Awards Gala was, and she is thankful that she was able to attend.
CM Timms attended the Area Agency on Aging Advisory Council and reported on the discussions that were addressed during the meeting. One is the intersection between the senior housing needs and the RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) housing element assessment by tying the lower income properties potentially to the needs of fixed income seniors. There was also a discussion around how METRO might help seniors by providing free fares, for example. CM Timms also reported there is still no resolution for the Live Oak facility. They haven’t yet concluded an eviction date and discussions are still ongoing.
CM Johnson attended a Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (SCCRTC) meeting and reported there is a grant program for electric bikes. CM Johnson also reported there is going to be outreach in the county to get information about the problems residents faced from the storms this past year and how it has affected transportation.
CITY MANAGER REPORT
Public Works: It has been a big week for Recreation, they have been working on the Parks Master Plan. A survey went out on April 14th about what the community wants for the parks, and it has already received 300 responses and we are looking forward to more responses coming in before the survey closes on May 3rd. City Manager LaGoe encourages the community to complete the survey if they haven’t already. In addition, there are going to be a couple of public meetings coming up. Next Friday, April 21st from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM at the Scotts Valley Community Center there is a public meeting about the Parks Master Plan and Saturday, April 22th from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in Skypark there will be another place for the public to provide input. The following weekend there is a meeting specifically for the stakeholder groups who utilize our parks.
Per the Councils direction, the Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting on April 20th will have a discussion with the community about the pickleball court concerns. The agenda for that meeting has been posted and already public comments are coming in.
Any community members who would like to weigh in on the conversation regarding City Council Meeting Minutes Page 3
Date: April 19, 2023
pickleball at the tennis courts in Skypark, please attend the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on April 20th.
Storm Cleanup: The damage from the storms continues to surface and Public Works is inventorying all the damage to the roads. The City has received some reports of potholes and concerns of road conditions from residents. The City is inventorying all the concerns and repairing the issues as they have the capacity to. City Manager LaGoe encourages the community to continue to report concerns as they come up to Public Works so the issues can be put on the list. City Manager LaGoe thanked the community for their patience as Public Works makes the repairs to the streets that are necessary after the storms. Staff have continued to meet with FEMA regarding the permanent repairs to both Green Hills Road and Bean Creek Road, which will be an ongoing process.
Scotts Valley Police Department: Last night the police department honored the volunteers of the department. It was the 30th Annual Volunteer Appreciation dinner at Bruno’s BBQ. Five Police Volunteers, four Reserve Officers, and two Police Explores contributed 1,213 volunteer hours to our police department in 2022. City Manager LaGoe thanked the City Council for attending the event to help the City thank those important members of our community who have stepped up to support our police department.
Administrative Services Department: The department continues to be on track with the new software implementation for both our finance system with OpenGov as well as our HR payroll system. The department is already preparing for this current fiscal year’s audit work that will begin shortly.
Wi-Fi: Skypark and the Scotts Valley Community Center now have public Wi-Fi available to use. There will be a splash screen that will pop up which users will have to agree to use the Wi-Fi responsibly and appropriately.
PUBLIC COMMENT TIME
CM Johnson read a resolution from the Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission (SCCRTC) honoring Public Works crews and recognizing their efforts to respond to the recent storm events.
Gary Richard Arnold spoke about his irritation with local government and with how information is reported to the public.
James Ewing Whitman, commented on how he appreciates the time allotted to the public to be able to comment for three minutes at City Council Meetings. Mr. Whitman also complimented the Maintenance staff of the City of Scotts Valley for all they do.
David Alrich, spoke about the Housing Element, he is a supporter of affordable housing and a strong supporter of local jurisdictional control. Mr. Alrich expressed his concerns City Council Meeting Minutes Page 4
Date: April 19, 2023
with how developers look at their own interest over the community’s well-being. Mr.
Alrich also spoke on concerns about having a consultant with no personal stake or understanding of the community and believes they could lead us to overcommit to numbers.

AGENDA ITEM 1
DATE: 05-03-2023
City of Scotts Valley
STAFF REPORT
DATE: May 3, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mali LaGoe, City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDER REQUEST TO DISPLAY THE PRIDE FLAG TO
COMMEMORATE PRIDE MONTH FROM JUNE 1ST TO JUNE
30TH, 2023
SUMMARY OF ISSUE
On June 1, 2022 the City Council adopted a Policy on Display of Flags to allow the display of government and commemorative flags. The policy prohibits third-party requests for commemorative flag displays and only allows for the display of commemorative flags when the request is brought forth by a member of the City Council to place the consideration of a specific commemorative flag on a future agenda. The decision to display the commemorative flag must then be authorized by a majority vote of the City Council at a duly noticed regular or special City Council meeting, as an expression of the City Council’s official sentiments. On March 15th 2023, Councilmember Timm requested a future agenda item to consider flying the Pride flag during the month of June 2023, commonly known as Pride Month.
Per the City’s Policy, any commemorative flag being considered must be consistent with the current City Council recognized goals and priorities and City strategic plan. The Pride flag, in representing the diversity of the LGBTQ community, is consistent with Council’s Strategic Goal of Maintaining the Quality of Life of Scotts Valley Residents whereas Strategy 3 under that goal is to “Support a sense of community through gatherings, activities, inclusivity and arts.” Further in February 2023, the City Council adopted its goals for Fiscal Year 23/24 which includes a goal to Support cultural events, arts and projects that celebrate Scotts Valley.
FISCAL IMPACT
As the City already owns a Pride flag, there is no fiscal impact to approving flying the flag for the month of June 2023.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
001
AGENDA ITEM 1
DATE: 05-03-2023
It is recommended that the Council consider approval to display the Pride flag from June 1 st to June 30th, 2023 to commemorate Pride Month, as requested by Councilmember Timm at the March 15th Council meeting.
