HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - March 20, 2019 Public Comment 1(Government Code Section 54954.2(b)(2))_ AEI other items may only be referred for review to staff or placement on a future Council agenda. Amanda Lee, member of the public, stated her opposition to the water rate increase, discussed the homeless issue plaguing the community (including photos, filed), and referenced a news video she e-mailed to Council earlier about the homeless situation in Seattle. She encouraged Council follow through with the suggestion from a previous Council meeting to hold a Town Hall regarding homelessness because something must be done to address the drug, mental health, and transitional housing problems. She reported that, at the last San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors meeting, her mother proposed a temporary homeless encampment by the County general hospital in French Camp, along with an offer to donate the first 100 tents. She stated nothing seems to be changing and she wants to keep the momentum moving forward to make significant changes. She urged the City to stop worrying about being sued and to take care of the lawlessness. Curtis Lee, member of the public, presented a map illustrating the multi -jurisdictional area near the river and homeless encampments (filed). He stated California Highway Patrol does not respond to the area, the Lodi Police Department takes an hour to respond, the San Joaquin Sherriffs Department only responds to its own jurisdictional area, and the Lodi Fire Department does not show up to the area. He stated there is one transient who carries an axe and threatens families, yet law enforcement does nothing to protect them. He believes this shows a lack of leadership and hopes to see a more proactive approach to help the community. Tiffany Anderson, member of the public, also commented on the homeless encampment along the river and expressed her frustration with the multiple jurisdictions who seem to point fingers at one another and not take responsibility. She pointed out that Measure L was approved to improve response times and the homeless situation; however, it took hours to have one trailer moved out of the area and the Fire Department did not show up after calls for assistance. She referenced the suggestion for a temporary encampment at French Camp, stating it could serve as a one-stop shop for homeless services. Mayor Chandler reported that he and City staff met yesterday with representatives from Caltrans, Assemblyman Cooper's office, Senator Galgiani's office, California Highway Patrol, and Mark Armstrong with Take Back Lodi to discuss potential resources coming forward for fencing, increased patrols, and modifications along the river that will make it less comfortable for the homeless. He stated there is no timeframe yet on completion of these efforts, but they are in the works. He gave credit to the group for expediting the conversations and added there is a lot of frustration by law enforcement due to State laws that prohibit them from doing their job effectively. Gunnar Hendrickson and Erica Anderson with Jim Elliot Christian High School reported on the school's competitive robotics team, which is open to students all over the community, and invited Council to attend a community dinner fundraiser and the public to follow the program on social media. The program focuses on science and technology, allows students to build robots and participate in competitions, and teaches students skills needed in the real workforce. E. Comments by the City Council Members on Non -Agenda Items Council Member Nakanishi once again stressed the need for a Town Hall on homelessness so citizens can hear what is being done to address the issue and what will be done going forward to continue making improvements. He further reported that he serves on the Groundwater Banking Authority, which is working to address the State Groundwater Management Authority legislation passed by the State regarding groundwater resources. Seventeen agencies have joined together to develop the required plan with costs being shared by all agencies. Lodi will pay $11,000, the County will cover a larger share, and the State will pay $1 million to complete the study by 2020, with the sustainable groundwater plan done by 2040. Council Member Mounce thanked the Mayor and City Manager for arranging the meeting to discuss the homeless situation and encampments along the river, stating this issue has been ongoing for 10 and a half years. Further, she reported she will be attending the League of California Cities Legislative Action Days, during which council members and mayors will convene in Sacramento to meet with legislators. Homelessness will be a topic of discussion because it is plaguing 100 percent of the cities in California. She stated she will follow up with Senator Galgiani and Assemblymember Cooper on this issue. She shared with the public that legislation previously tried to pass a bill through Assembly called "The Right :J) r • • lilllt 1 `� :`r►af 11119101J1110 MAIN 111111111111111 .1 77111177,100 }111111 1111111111111 M11111111i11r1111 hJJlllllullJll}1111111 ,pillJdI► Iq 1l11;;i1i1i11;11a `a'1 11, 11 y�11 11111 + r'111111111111111l1 1411111!!11 >U 1 ,111 .W1111111llkl! 11111 111111111 II II N 11111111I11A11l+11}111A111111111J 1111111J>g11111111 1111+11111 Jud hd>I1 1,11111111111)11 11111111M111i11a 1,11111a111a1u1p f1111)j1J}'111�j111111111�1119.1 11111111011 111,1 � 11111111111J11t11111+JJll1a+11a+1 !>�h 11}J11k1111l,� y 1 1J11Nk►1i IlU111111u11 . ,f 1 1111111 11111 J111111l�j1111 1}1llllllll}�1I11111J �1H�I11 �} I , I1141114�i111u11l1111iiio1litil�wu 11111111] 014101M1»»» '+�l 111111111 fjq� �'u" 111111 f 1. 11 .� 1i'1111 1x111 x111+l�111111111 1111111 1)/01)) *OHM li)}1111I111 �11lI11111111th101111i1�1�11]11111P} �a1k1l+lf�illp�llll�lllYl! +1 rIJ �""��° llllhl+olo 1 11Y�+ 111.1 11 ! 1 1► 1 111HIPII i11JI+111111111 I i1100Thill�q 11bAinIFal�l t11111111}l 11 j,� ;) 1 • 11 11111111111H11111111 11111 1111111 � ; ililllll1111�1111'111J11j1 � ' I 1+11t111111111111�' 11117111.x11 1 11in111 ' a1 'Efoul mpo �iarlk"—"U}gyp+m1r11111k+ANi11111r,1s1'�lr mrl"l�>m,61 1111 1111111 1t'111111p111111u111t1H111R1111111UJ},U11u1 Jr�u>p,+111IV111f7�1 ► 1wp1111111 11,n �,uhm�ulll,� 1111y111urrulrlul 111�1�+u fl+isitlpWUlU1111V1All IG111111Jl11!lItiA +1 1liJ1111111�111l++111}++11'1[} ++111'++1,RJJH14 1 d 1111111 a I.N l.1 nn 1111 vllJ,►111111,11i1►iri 1111111 .1#11u11111�j1Othl111111111.� 11)111j11111q iNia h111}A y lull}}iuuu+llU1J}1x1111 1111 1111p 1 ' lflilld 1 11b 11fu11111i11! 11u111JlJ'J,�1l118+11R�111 1,4r 1 . i 11b1111 11.1.1 i ! ,k.1y1111A11�911}1 111001/10,90109 +�111�.fiII.1I.H11111U11111 111111�U+�iuiii�lii+ , Mgr: � i�1� 1#11111111141jllllll11Jk1111i�'J11 mti 1+ 1111111011111+11m➢NkJ+1U1N• 11111N u1�fJ1 ,1, 1111 1 ,1,1 it II U i �! 1 I 11p1 f11kt11l1111I>?IIt1111dntJ 1111111�ro 11111�1'i1N1�+MMt1 ww. 1111111/11 r "'' 1 r�mirhn 4 N J141k11111 bJ quN11 011e G1111� lft Ifk 11111uH�ullul l ,U I11111]111111i111 11111111 ��b41iU+ 1++ will'"0400 rl1111'illlijlp)I!lkd111. 11J41111111uYW1111>WUl'111�AN17i11N11l11U 1+�al+u11 111��'�111.1111R1l1UU►11l1.1tkq 11 11111111111 ' J! 1111111.1111111 11111a11!!{�11>!i)kp111fHUl �a4,41�1I1fI11U1+ O W1lo MJg 10 �i111111��11�Ill1.+lY1t+11}11111 111 jlllllll`1N11i1l111N1 �;;,i,IN � �: •'oin1tt[tgrlfltl @N llOill JildUllilfl1110N01'1 1UIN11111F,+111✓ ' o 11k1 1.iJim Il�lgl111NdNN1Hll 111+a1�`'�j 1J1111i+11111111111111w1����y lNd11111Nll>e11f1U11}l HR011(414° 13[ " 1 .}! llllllifll�Ji ni11U11,U• llo �1+A�V,�f1��llkll�1A111�1�1U U��aq� ly•1 eI� 1il1�111p 1lo 11}1,y}1 +1111111.11kV11g111mo'� mono 10 ' � , 1 t j11 11 1� MOP 7JJI1. 111+1 u ` ,L�7�,,�+';l��lf111111111'11111��;,;�'11 �,111>11i � +1t '' t.. +,11Y111�+11� 1} liiia11 + '1 u211 • :' Ful +1I�JI11.1''U 1jplfdr ll' p.111,,+j;,;' '111 r �J�J,� ,1j�}+1111 op, . 11 'I \• I\ 9.1 ) \$ \ \$ \,‘ \ \ \ \:1 \\\1 \\\‘ \\\1 \‘‘I 1:111 :\)1 \\1: \\)1,\\)\),\\\)1:\\\)):\\\)1,)'\\::;, \\) :‘:))\\1\1$ \\ )$ \\\')$\\\ \:\;\\\ \,;\; :11\ \\)): 11 \):$1, \I) \\II ) ) $ \\) $ ) ) $ ) ) $ ) ‘\\ vji\ v\), \ \ \ \ )\ )\ $\ \ ,)\ $ .\\i,\I‘t‘:\\:1‘1\i‘:‘\\\:1\: i\s :1 1\1 1\1,\ \ \ ,)\ )\ __\ \,)\ \,) , ) , $ J F \ \ \ ‘1 11‘ :t ‘:1\ is‘:1 :‘ \:\ \t\p \:\$\, \,) \)\,') • \\\ 1\1 1 :1: 11: :: \‘‘:1$11:\f)).\' \:11\F \,$)\- \$), \:$ 1\\\)) ):)) )\\) )) ):\)) \\11 r.))):\ );\)1\\:);\:1\i, $‘ ‘ 1/41t1 1 1 1 $ 1 I $ ) ) ) \.\-\ $ $ $ t‘) $1 $‘$$‘1 $$$ Oririp‘ \'\ \'\- ) ) ) \-• \ ) t \ \ I t % I ‘. .„1\ k 1 V V V )\ \ ‘.‘ „) ) ) ) k , \V, 1 %1 1 $ I 1 , I 1 1 } •• 4 • r_t ••• • 0. • •• • • \ • - • 17 .) .). ). .46 ▪ Ags'y = <3:144, " - 4-10 • • • iv; .31'i • 41/4.......414.4.7.4ip, 60. • • .-.114,17JL - • • 4•0 . 744 ••• 411.- • - • 117 4 -"- dir '•14111,e•O% -••••.• 411. an.
