[Action Items]
I CAN INTRODUCE THIS. THIS IS COMING AT THE REQUEST OF THE BOARD TO AND OUR BOARD PRESIDENT TO ASK THIS COMMITTEE SINCE WE HAVE BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY ONE REGULAR BOARD MEETING IN JUNE AND THERE'S NO BOARD MEETINGS IN JULY.AND THAT MEETING IS AT BIG BREAK. AND SO WE INITIALLY WERE THINKING MAYBE WE MAKE THE OPEN SESSION LONGER TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE ITEMS, BUT WE ALSO JUST WANTED TO CHECK IN WITH YOUR COMMITTEE AND SEE IF YOU HAD FEEDBACK ON IF WE SHOULD KEEP ALL THOSE ITEMS. CONSIDER ADDING ANOTHER MEETING JUNE 30TH OR MOVING ANY OF THE ITEMS TO AUGUST.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? THAT MAKES SENSE. AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, I PROPOSED.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR US TO THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BOARD OR FOR THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO BE USED TO THINK ABOUT BOARD AGENDA PLANNING AND ALSO SCHEDULING. SO I'LL START, YOU KNOW, IT LOOKS LIKE, PARDON ME, THE OPEN SESSION ACTION ITEMS SEEM TO BE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD.
SO IS IT, IS IT MOSTLY THE CONSENT CALENDAR THAT WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT IN CASE SOME THINGS MOVE FROM CONSENT TO ACTION? NO, I THINK IT'S THE. AND IF THE. IF THE ACTION ITEMS DON'T SEEM TO.
I THINK WE'RE ALREADY OUR TEAMS HERE AND CAN SPEAK TO THE ACTION ITEMS. WE WERE JUST WORRIED THAT WITH 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 06,7,8 ACTION ITEMS THAT IT COULD TAKE A WHILE.
WHAT OUR TEAM IS READY TO DO VERY BRIEF PRESENTATIONS ON A LOT OF THOSE ACTION ITEMS. AND THEY'RE HERE AND CAN SPEAK TO THOSE ITEMS. BUT IF THAT FEELS LIKE A, LIKE A DOABLE QUANTITY, THEN I THINK MAYBE WE'RE ALL GOOD TO KEEP ON TRACK.
AND SO I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE THINGS WAS TO START AT 10 A.M.
THOUGH, INSTEAD OF 11 A.M.. IS THAT STILL ONE ITEM FOR CONSIDERATION? YEAH. I THINK IF YOUR BOARD WAS OPEN TO STARTING CLOSED SESSION EARLY AND THEN ALSO MOVING OPEN SESSION TO START EARLY, THEN WE COULD HOPEFULLY HAVE A LONGER TIME TO GET THROUGH THOSE 8 ACTION ITEMS, AND WE WOULD JUST NEED TO THEN AGENDIZE IT AS A SPECIAL
[00:05:04]
MEETING. YEAH, I, I GUESS I'M THE ONLY BOARD MEMBER THAT USUALLY HAS SOME ISSUES WITH EARLIER MEETINGS BECAUSE I TEND TO WORK WITH PEOPLE IN TIME ZONES AHEAD OF ME.AND SO IT JUST MAKES MY MORNINGS A LITTLE BIT MORE CHALLENGING.
BUT I THINK I'M JUST 1 OF 7. SO TYPICALLY THAT'S NOT A CONSIDERATION, BUT ALSO JUST BEING BIG BREAK.
I WONDER IF IT WOULD BE CHALLENGING FOR OTHERS TO BE THERE AT 10 OR.
ANOTHER YEAH. AND WE COULD DO CLOSED SESSION. IT'S ONLY 1 ITEM SO IT MIGHT BE SHORTER.
IT'S PROBABLY WE ANTICIPATE WE WOULD NEED THE WHOLE TIME.
OH REALLY? YEAH. INCLUDING THE LUNCH BREAK. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO GENERATE A LOT OF PUBLIC DISCUSSION. SO IT DOESN'T STRIKE ME AS OVERWHELMINGLY LONG AGENDA.
YEAH, WE USUALLY HAVE A SPECIAL VISITORS THOUGH, TO A BIG BREAK SOMETIMES.
YEAH. JUST TO SAY HELLO. SOME LOCALS COME. SO WOULD YOUR PROPOSAL BE TO KEEP 11 OR TO MOVE IT UP TO TEN OR. I THINK WE LEAVE 11.
LEAVE IT AT 11. IT IS QUITE A DRIVE FOR SOME PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN ALAMEDA.
I GUESS 1 QUESTION I HAVE ON THE JOB ORDER CONTRACT ITEM ON ACTION ITEM 5.
I SEE THERE ISN'T A LOT OF DETAIL ON THAT, SO I'M JUST CURIOUS.
YES, I SEE READ ABOUT THAT ITEM AND MAYBE JUST SPEAK TO THE IMPORTANCE OF US LOOKING AT THIS, YOU KNOW, AT THE THE BIG BREAK MEETING ON JUNE 16TH.
SURE. RYAN BATES, DIVISION LEAD DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.
PRESIDENT. SANWONG. SO, YEAH, IT'S THERE ARE A LOT OF CONTRACTS ON THERE.
I THINK IT'S A PRETTY STANDARD ACTION THAT THE BOARD HAS TAKEN BEFORE.
AND TO NOTE, I WILL BE PRESENTING THE SAME ITEM TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE THE WEEK BEFORE, SO I CAN GO IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL, BUT I THINK IF THAT ONE, WE WOULD IDEALLY LIKE TO ENTER OR GET BOARD AUTHORIZATION, BECAUSE OUR CURRENT ROUNDS WILL TURN OUT IN JULY.
AND SO, IN OTHER WORDS, TO KEEP CONSISTENCY WITH OUR ON OUR JOB ORDER CONTRACTING CONTRACTORS, GETTING THAT APPROVAL IN JUNE ALLOWS US TO GET THEM UNDER CONTRACT SO THAT WE HAVE THOSE CONTRACTS IN PLACE JULY, AUGUST, WHICH IS KIND OF OUR CRITICAL FALL SEASON.
SO. BUT THAT PRESENTATION CAN BE BRIEF IF IF IT CAN BE COVERED IN FINANCE AND THE REST OF THE BOARD IS AMENABLE TO LOOK AT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING PRIOR, IT CAN MAKE THAT A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION AT BIG BREAK.
THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND DIRECTOR MERCURIO, YOU'RE ON THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
I WONDER IF WE CAN ASK YOU TO MAYBE COME TO THE BIG BREAK MEETING AND BE PREPARED TO SHARE HOW YOU'VE HAD AN IN DEPTH, YOU KNOW, OVERVIEW AND DISCUSSION AT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE WITH REN ABOUT THIS JOB ORDER CONTRACTING TO HELP, YOU KNOW, REASSURE YOUR COLLEAGUES AT THE BIG BREAK MEETING THAT THAT DISCUSSION HAPPENED.
THAT'S FINE WITH ME. ALTHOUGH I AM IN FAVOR OF HAVING THAT EXTRA MEETING.
ARE YOU SAYING TO SPLIT THIS INTO 2 MEETINGS? YES. OKAY. THAT'S IN FAVOR OF THAT. AND IT COULD, AND IT COULD, IT COULD BE SPLITTING THE ACTION ITEMS AMONG BOTH ACCORDING TO WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IS IMPORTANT AND TIMELY NEEDS TO BE EARLIER AND THEN ANYTHING ELSE COULD BE LATER.
BUT I JUST SEE THAT BEING A REALLY, REALLY LONG MEETING.
I, YOU KNOW, THE CONSENT CALENDAR ALONE IS BOUND TO GENERATE SOME, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, PULLING SOMETHING OFF CONSENT CAN TAKE A HALF HOUR. I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT A COUPLE OF BOARD MEMBERS ARE REALLY LOOKING NOT TO HAVE EXTRA MEETINGS THIS MONTH BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER THAT WE'VE HAD.
AND, AND IT WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT MORE, IT WOULDN'T BE SO JAMMED UP.
AND SO WE WOULD BE DOWN TO 6 FOR END OF JUNE.
I DID TRY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THAT BOARD MEMBER TO ITS DIRECTOR, DESCHAMBAULT, TO TRY TO CONFIRM HER THOUGHTS ON THIS, BUT I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO CONNECT WITH HER ON IT.
[00:10:01]
OKAY. 2 PEOPLE ARE ARE GONE. 2. OKAY. SO THAT THAT IS 1 CONSIDERATION.AND I THINK IN THEORY, I AGREE WITH YOU. IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO SPLIT IT UP.
AND I THINK WE'RE DOING BETTER. WE NOW WE AS A BOARD, I THINK AS OF MAYBE 6 WEEKS TO EIGHT WEEKS AGO, WE NOW HAVE ACCESS TO BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT FUTURE, YOU KNOW, BOARD AGENDA, POTENTIAL BOARD AGENDA ITEMS. AND SO I REALLY WANT TO THANK DAVE MASON FOR HELPING TO, TO MAKE THAT AVAILABLE AS WELL AS, YOU KNOW, OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM FOR NOT YOU KNOW, BLOCKING THAT OPTION.
AND SO I THINK MAYBE THIS DISCUSSION IS A GOOD ONE WHERE WE CAN MAYBE START TO INTEGRATE, YOU KNOW, PLANNING FOR FUTURE BOARD MEETINGS AND THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, AGENDA LOAD AND NUMBER OF ITEMS. YOU KNOW, ONE THING ABOUT BIG BREAK, WE TYPICALLY AREN'T ABLE TO HAVE ZOOM PARTICIPATION OR WILL WE HAVE ZOOM PARTICIPATION THIS YEAR? BECAUSE I THINK WITH THE BROWN ACT, WASN'T THERE AN UPDATE NOW ABOUT HAVING ZOOM PARTICIPATION AVAILABLE AT BOARD MEETINGS? SO WE HAVE WORKED TO SEE IF WE CAN HAVE ZOOM.
THERE IS A CAMERA FOR ZOOM, BUT WE WILL NOT BE STREAMING WITH SWAGIT.
AND THE REQUIREMENT IS ON THE BROWN ACT UPDATE IS NOT NECESSARILY THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A ZOOM MEETING OR A TELECONFERENCING MEETING, BUT THAT YOU, IF YOU ARE ABLE TO USE SOME KIND OF CONNECTION WITH THE PUBLIC LIKE A TELEPHONE, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO THAT. SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AT BIG BREAK, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE WE WILL HAVE AT MINIMUM TELEPHONE AVAILABILITY, IF NOT POSSIBLY ZOOM OR SOME OTHER TYPE OF VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE MY OTHER CONCERN WITH HAVING SO MANY AGENDA ITEMS IS THE IS THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION ASPECT.
RIGHT? YEAH. THAT'S CORRECT. AND I THINK MAYBE, YOU KNOW, THIS THIS BRINGS UP ANOTHER GOOD POINT THAT I THOUGHT OF AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS CURRENT SITUATION. YOU KNOW, IN THE PAST WHEN WE LOOKED AT OUR ANNUAL CALENDAR AND DID OUR ANNUAL CALENDAR PROCESS, WE WOULD TYPICALLY, YOU KNOW, INCORPORATE THE CONFERENCES ESPECIALLY THE CONFERENCES THAT, YOU KNOW, BOARD MEMBERS TEND TO GO TO. AND SO MAYBE THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD PRACTICE TO BRING BACK FOR THE 2027.
I THINK I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN KNOWN EVEN IN FEBRUARY, THAT SO MANY BOARD MEMBERS WERE NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE AT THAT, BECAUSE THE PARTICULAR EVENT THAT WE'RE ATTENDING IS VERY POPULAR WITH THE BOARD.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S EASY TO TO VISION FOR BOARD MEMBERS WANTING TO BE THERE.
AND I THINK I THINK THAT THERE WAS WORK ON THAT.
I GUESS THE OTHER THING IS, I THINK YOUR BOARD HAS A SPECIAL MEETING ON THE NINTH. SO THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY. SO IT'S THERE ISN'T LIKE AN EXTRA WEEK IN THERE THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. LIKE THE ONLY THERE'S ONLY SO MANY WEEKS IN JUNE.
SO BUT I THINK LIKE ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS YOUR BOARD JUST HAS A LOT OF BOARD MEETINGS AND SPECIAL MEETINGS, YOU KNOW, LEADING UP TO THAT TIME. SO IT'S JUST A CONSTRAINED PERIOD.
DO WE HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISH TO.
NO PUBLIC COMMENT. ALL RIGHT. SO WE WILL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT.
I GUESS ANY FINAL THOUGHTS FROM STAFF? I MEAN, I THINK LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, ONE OF THE THINGS OUR TEAM IS PLANNING TO DO IS JUST BE REALLY BRIEF WITH PRESENTATIONS AND TRY TO PROVIDE AS MUCH INFORMATION IN THE STAFF REPORTS AS POSSIBLE.
AND HOPEFULLY THAT WAY IT MAKES THE THE PROGRAM GO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
THAT'S GREAT. AND THEN ARE THERE ANY OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA THAT MIGHT BE COVERED IN A PRECEDING COMMITTEE MEETING, SIMILAR TO THE JOB ORDER CONTRACTS? AND MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE TO GO INTO EACH ONE BY DETAIL, BUT IF WE CAN MAYBE HIGHLIGHT THOSE AND THEN I'D BE HAPPY TO TASK A FRIENDLY BOARD MEMBER TO LIKE DIRECTOR MERCURIO TO BE IN CHARGE TO PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, A, YOU KNOW, A SUMMARY.
YEAH, I CAN HIGHLIGHT ALL THESE QUICKLY. I'D SAY THE, THE 2 [INAUDIBLE] ITEMS. THESE ARE ANNUAL ITEMS. THEY COME TO YOU EACH YEAR.
THIS IS LIKE THE. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE 2ND OR 3RD STEP IN A MULTI-STEP PROCESS.
SO WE'VE ALREADY PRESENTED ON THIS. THIS CAN BE A VERY BRIEF.
OPEN THE HEARING, CLOSE THE HEARING, KIND OF I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THIS IS THE HEARING FOR IT.
BUT IT'S ANYWAY, IT CAN BE A VERY SHORT ITEM.
[00:15:04]
AND AND THEN THE BIG BREAK PROJECT THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED A NUMBER OF TIMES I THINK TO THIS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE THAT'S RECOMMENDED IT TO THE FULL BOARD. AND SO, YOU KNOW, WE WANTED TO, IT'S NOT TIME SENSITIVE, BUT WE WANTED TO DO IT AT BIG BREAK BECAUSE IT'S BIG BREAK.AND SO, AND THEN THE HABITAT CONSERVANCY KNIGHTS AND MARSH PROJECT, WE WANTED TO DO THAT THERE AS WELL BECAUSE WE INVITED ABBY FATEMAN FROM THE HCP TO COME AND JUST SAY A FEW WORDS.
AND THEN LET'S SEE DEER VALLEY, WE CAN BE RELATIVELY BRIEF ABOUT THAT.
WE'VE PRESENTED ABOUT THAT MANY TIMES BEFORE TO YOUR BOARD.
AND THEN THE TIDEWATER DAY USE PROJECT, IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT WE'VE PRESENTED ABOUT BEFORE.
AND LIKE REN SAID, WITH THE JOB ORDER CONTRACTING AND THEN THE, THE TREE PROJECT IN TILDEN WHEN ASSISTANT CHIEF HALEY PRESENTED ONE OF YOUR LAST BOARD MEETINGS.
I THINK HE MENTIONED THAT LIKE HE WAS GIVING A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DEPTH PRESENTATION AT THAT TIME, BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE ALREADY PLANNING THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE BUSY, AND WHEN HE COMES, IT CAN BE VERY, VERY SHORT. IT'S A VERY SIMILAR PROJECT TO WHAT HE PRESENTED ABOUT AT THE LAST MEETING.
AND IT'S FOR OUR OUR GENERAL SCOPE. IT'S RELATIVELY SMALL, AND THERE'LL BE6 BOARD MEMBERS AT THAT MEETING OR. YEAH. 6. OKAY. WELL, HEARING THE ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY PRESENTED HEREIN. IT WAS NOT AN ITEM I FELT THAT STRONGLY ABOUT, BUT I JUST THOUGHT, GOSH, WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER, YOU KNOW, TO BE MORE LEISURELY ABOUT THE MEETING AND SPREAD IT OUT? BUT YEAH, I'M FINE WITH AND YEAH, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE EFFORT, MAX, TO, YOU KNOW, RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S MUCH LARGER THAN WHAT WE NORMALLY DO. AND THERE'S A LIMIT AS TO HOW MUCH WE CAN DRINK OUT OF A FIRE HOSE, YOU KNOW? SO APPRECIATE THAT. SO YEAH, I'M FINE WITH IT.
IS THAT A MOTION TO. YEAH, LET'S MAKE THAT A MOTION TO THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM.
IT IS AN ACTION ITEM. YEAH. THAT WELL, WHAT TO NOT.
I GUESS TO KEEP THE MEETING AS IS STARTING AT 11.
OKAY. TO KEEP THE MEETING AS IS. YES, I WOULD I WOULD MOVE THAT OPPOSED.
YEAH. SECOND. OKAY, SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY DIRECTOR MERCURIO A SECOND BY DIRECTOR COFFEY.
ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. OKAY. THAT PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYONE, FOR WORKING THROUGH THIS WITH US.
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BIG BREAK. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL NOW MOVE ON.
[Informational Items]
WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON BURRELL. SO LET ME GET MY AGENDA ITEM 5.A.JUST A QUICK RECAP OF THE RURAL PROJECT BACKGROUND.
THE PROPERTY, ORIGINALLY 17 ACRES FROM ARMAND BOREL WITH, WAS BEQUEATHED TO THE PROPERTY TO THE PARK DISTRICT IN 2009 UNDER THE CONDITION THAT IT BECOME AN AGRICULTURAL PARK PER BOARD RESOLUTION 2014.
THAT WAS COMPLETED. AND THEN IT DOES CONTAIN ONE OF THE LAST WALNUT ORCHARDS IN THE EAST BAY AS THE NORTHERN 7 ACRES OF THE PROPERTY. OF THE PROPERTY WAS SOLD TO TRUMARK HOMES, THE HOUSING DEVELOPERS.
AND THAT WAS COMPLETED IN 2021. SALES PROCEEDS WERE DISBURSED AND COMPLETED TO THE PARK DISTRICT IN 2024, AND THAT THE SALE PROCEEDS WERE TO BE TO HELP DEVELOP AN AGRICULTURAL PARK FOR THE THE SOUTHERN 10 ACRES AND AS WELL AS TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE LEGAL FEES THAT WERE TIED TO THE, THE BEQUEATHMENT.
[00:20:11]
TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF HOW THIS PROJECT IS MOVING FORWARD AS A PLANNING PROJECT.THERE WERE CERTAIN CRITERIA. SO THE FIRST ONE IS MORE OF ACQUISITION.
IF THE PROPERTIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED THAT ARE READY FOR THE PLANNING PROJECT TO BEGIN.
IN THIS CASE, THE PROPERTY WAS BEQUEATHED TO THE PARK DISTRICT.
ARMIN BOREL PROVIDED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE AN AGRICULTURAL PARK.
SO THERE WAS THAT COMMITMENT AND DIRECTIVE TO BE AN AGRICULTURAL PARK.
AND SO THERE WERE NO OTHER ACCESS OR ACCESS EASEMENTS REQUIRED.
FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS PLANNING PROJECT.
THE SALE PROCEEDS PROVIDE THAT FROM THE SALE OF THE NORTHERN 7 ACRES AND THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT THROUGH THAT ALSO DIRECTS THE SALE PROCEEDS TO BE INCLUDED INTO A SPECIAL FUND, AND PROVIDED THAT THOSE FUNDS BE USED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AGRICULTURAL PARK.
THAT WAS THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED THIS PAST I BELIEVE MARCH OR SO OR A FEW MONTHS AGO NOW.
AND SO THERE IS THAT EXPECTATION THAT, YOU KNOW, THE THE HOMES ARE BEING ASSESSED WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT AN AGRICULTURAL PARK BE DEVELOPED. AND SO WITH ALL OF THESE, THE PROPERTY BEING BEQUEATHED, THE ACCESS AVAILABLE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE.
AND THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.
AND AS WELL AS THERE ARE PARTNERSHIPS IN PLACE.
SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THE TOWN OF DANVILLE. THERE'S ALSO THE THE ONE ACRE PARCEL TO THE NORTH OF THAT AND ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS IS ALSO THE CONTRA COSTA COMMUNITIES. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT.
THAT'S A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE TIMELINE. ONCE THE SALE PROCEEDS WERE.
DISTRIBUTED TO THE PARK DISTRICT IN 2024. THAT'S WHEN WE KICKED OFF PLANNING.
WE AWARDED A CONSULTANT CONTRACT FOR THE DESIGN AND PLANNING, INCLUDING FEASIBILITY STUDIES.
SO WE DID SOME CONDITIONS. EXISTING CONDITIONS, ASSESSMENT.
A COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT. CAN YOU SEE THROUGH HERE.
FROM PLANNING AND PRE-DESIGN. THAT INCLUDES ALSO PUBLIC OUTREACH AND WORKSHOPS, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENTS WITH TOWN OF DANVILLE, THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT THE MUSEUM OF SAN RAMON VALLEY.
AND THEN HERE'S WHERE WE ARE NOW WITH THE PREFERRED DESIGN OPTION.
AFTER THAT, WE'LL BE BRINGING THE BOARD, THE CEQA FOR THE PROJECT.
FROM THERE, WE'LL MOVE FROM PLANNING PRE-DESIGN OVER TO FULL DESIGN AND PERMITTING.
THAT'S WHEN WE'LL REFINE THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT WORK AND COORDINATE WITH THE TOWN OF DANVILLE AND ANY OTHER NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS, AND THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION, WHICH COULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN PHASES.
HERE'S WHAT'S BEEN COMPLETED THUS FAR WITH THE CHECK MARKS.
AND AGAIN, HERE'S WHERE WE ARE WITH WORKING THROUGH AND REFINING THE PREFERRED DESIGN OPTION.
AND SOME PHOTOS YOU SEE HERE ARE OF THE OUTREACH.
WE HAD A COMMUNITY WORKSHOP IN THE TOWN OF DANVILLE.
AND AN EXAMPLE OF THE SURVEYS THAT WE BROUGHT TO YOUTH.
AND THIS IS SPECIFICALLY GRADES ONE THROUGH FOUR.
AND HERE'S A PICTURE OF US AT THE COMMUNITY WORKSHOP WITH DIRECTOR MERCURIO.
HERE'S AN OVERVIEW OF WHEN WE'VE ENGAGED WITH THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS BROUGHT THIS TO THE BOARD.
SO FIRST WAS THE PROVING THE CONTRACT FOR THE CONSULTANT BACK IN 2024.
WE'VE BROUGHT THIS TO THE BOARD AS A PROJECT UPDATE AND THE BOARD EXECUTIVE BACK IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR, AS WELL AS A BOARD SITE TOUR AND THEN SCHEMATIC DESIGNS WERE ALSO BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD IN SEPTEMBER.
THE ONES ON THE OUTSIDE AND OUTLINED IN GREEN ARE WHEN WE'VE OUTREACHED TO THE PUBLIC.
THERE'S A COMMUNITY WORKSHOP AND THEN THE FOREST HOME FARMS FALL FEST.
[00:25:05]
AND THEN HERE WE ARE AT THE BOARD EXEC FOR THE PREFERRED DESIGN OPTION.AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT ARE THE 3 FACTORS AND COMPONENTS THAT WE'RE IDENTIFYING AND WE'RE LOOKING AT.
SO THE FIRST IS THAT IT DOES NEED TO BE AN AGRICULTURAL PARK.
AND SO I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL.
SO WHAT, WHAT DOES IT NEED TO BE OPERATED AT THE PARK, AT THE PROPERTY FOR A PARK.
SO SOME OF THAT WOULD BE PARKING, RESTROOMS, FACILITIES AND SOUND WALLS.
AND THEN WE'RE IDENTIFYING THE LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR THE PARK, FOR AGRICULTURE PARK.
AND, AND THEN WHAT BASED OFF OF THAT LEVEL OF SERVICE, WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED THAT WILL FURTHER REFINE SOME OF THE CONSTRAINTS AND CONSIDERATIONS AS WE WORK THROUGH THE PREFERRED DESIGN OPTIONS INCLUDE STAFFING AND CURRENTLY THIS IS STAFFING FROM OUR PARK OPERATIONS TEAM, THE CFD. THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT DOES PROVIDE PARTIAL FUNDING.
SO ONCE IT'S ESTABLISHED IT WAS ABOUT 80,000 $80,000 PER YEAR ASSESSED ANNUALLY PLUS THE THE ADDITIONAL I FORGET WHAT IT'S LIKE THE, THE CPI INCREASE.
AND THEN THE, THE SALE PROCEEDS ITSELF FROM THE NORTHERN 7 ACRES.
AND THEN AGAIN, THE CONTRA COSTA FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT'S PROPERTY THERE.
AND THEN WORKING WITH THEIR ACCESS TO THEIR PROPERTY AS WELL AS POTENTIAL PUBLIC ACCESS TRAIL.
SO IN LOOKING AT WHAT HOW TO ESTABLISH THIS AS AN AGRICULTURAL PARK, THERE ARE REALLY 2 DESIGN COMPONENTS THAT WE, THAT WE WANTED TO CONSIDER AND MAKE SURE THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE PREFERRED DESIGN OPTION.
AND THAT'S REALLY THE WALNUT ORCHARD HERE AND THE WALNUT BARN ITSELF.
AND THEN FROM THERE, THAT'LL KIND OF. WHAT GOES INTO THAT IS THE, YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY HOW TO INCORPORATE THE WALNUT, THE, THE WALNUT ORCHARD, BUT PROVIDING INTERPRETIVE FEATURES AT THE WALNUT BARN, PROVIDING PUBLIC ACCESS FOR THIS AGRICULTURAL PARK AND THEN HAVING AN EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT. SO THE LAST 2 WE'VE LOOKED AT PUBLIC ACCESS AND HAVING AN EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT TO BE INCORPORATED THROUGHOUT THE THE ORCHARD AS WELL AS THE WALNUT BARN. IN TERMS OF OPERATIONAL NEEDS, WHEN WE LOOK AT DESIGN COMPONENTS, THE CRITICAL KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND NEED IS REALLY ENSURING THAT THERE'S AREAS FOR PUBLIC TO PARK, THAT THERE'S A RESTROOM, THAT THERE'S A SERVICE AREA OR FACILITY FOR STAFF, AND THAT BECAUSE IT IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE TOWN OF DANVILLE, BUT ALSO TO 680, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF SOUND BARRIER OR SOUND WALL.
AND SO THESE ARE THE CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE ENDED UP, INCLUDING IN THIS PREFERRED DESIGN OPTION.
ONCE WE REFINE THE LEVEL OF SERVICE WHICH IS CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH WITH STAFF, WE'LL NEED TO LOOK AT THE TRAIL AND INTERPRETIVE PANELS THAT GO THROUGH THE ORCHARD. A PATH ALONG THE CAMINO RAMON HERE, RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT THE PARK FRONTAGE AND THEN WHETHER THE PICNIC TABLES AND BENCHES THAT, THAT GET INCORPORATED INTO THAT. AND WE'VE HEARD FROM BOARD MEMBERS AND ALSO THE PUBLIC THAT YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE COMMUNITY NEEDS SURVEYS AND ALSO THOSE OUTREACH ABLE THAT WHAT WE'RE HEARING IS THAT THERE IS A NEED OR THAT THEY WOULD HIGHLY DESIRE PASSIVE RECREATION, HAVING SPACE FOR PICNIC. THEY DID WE TO BACK UP IN TERMS OF WHAT WE WERE HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC WAS A NEED FOR EDUCATION ON THE AGRICULTURAL HISTORY AND TO MAINTAIN THE PARK IN A WELL, TO HAVE A WELL MAINTAINED AND.
AND FROM THERE WE'LL WORK TOWARDS THE LEVEL OF SERVICE, WHETHER OTHER CONSIDERATIONS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT, WHETHER LEVEL OF GATHERING SPACE OR BENCHES, PICNIC TABLES OR TRAILS.
I DID ALSO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE EXTERNAL CONSIDERATIONS.
SO HERE IS ACTUALLY IT'S NOT NORTH, BUT TO THE WEST IS THE TOWN OF DANVILLE'S ONE ACRE PARCEL, THE SHILOH PROPERTY. SO WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH OUR LAND TEAM TO WORK WITH THE TOWN OF DANVILLE ON THAT.
[00:30:03]
AND KIND OF INCORPORATING THAT. AND THEN WHAT THEY'LL NEED IN TERMS OF ACCESS TO THAT PROPERTY.THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT IS JUST OVER HERE BETWEEN THE BOREL PROPERTY AND 680.
AND SO WHEN WORKING WITH THE FLOOD CONTROL TO ALSO ENSURE THAT, YOU KNOW, IF THEY'RE CURRENTLY USING THIS ACCESS, DOES THAT STILL WORK OR WILL THEY ALSO WANT TO USE THIS THIS SERVICE ROAD? AND THEN IN THE FUTURE, THERE'S WE'RE LEAVING ROOM FOR A POTENTIAL TRAIL CONNECTION TO THE SAN RAMON CREEK HERE AND PROVIDING PUBLIC ACCESS IN THAT REGARD.
WE HAVE A QUICK QUESTION, IF YOU DON'T MIND, REGARDING THE DANVILLE PARCEL THERE.
SO YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN ASKING ABOUT THAT OVER THE LAST 2 OR 3 YEARS.
I KNOW WE'VE BEEN GETTING CLOSE. EVERY TIME I ASK, IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER. SO HAVE THEY, HAVE THEY COMMITTED, CAN YOU SAY WHETHER THEY'VE COMMITTED TO SELLING THAT TO US? IT'S JUST A MATTER OF DETAILS. IT IS. WE'RE GOING THROUGH LIKE THE STEPS THAT ARE NEEDED THAT LAND TYPICALLY GOES THROUGH.
IF THERE ARE ANY CLEANUP THAT'S NEEDED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND THEN I BELIEVE THEN WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE OTHER STEPS THAT LAND DOES NEED TO GO THROUGH.
WE'LL CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR PLANNING PROJECT WITH AN EYE ON THAT AND ENSURING THAT ANYTHING THAT THAT IS NEEDED AS A POTENTIAL LIKE THE SERVICE ROAD THAT'LL BE INCORPORATED INTO THE PREFERRED DESIGN OPTION.
BUT WE WON'T BUT WE WON'T HOLD UP THE PROJECT IF THERE'S ANYTHING, BUT IN TERMS OF UPDATES, THAT'S THE THAT'S THE UPDATE THAT I HAVE. THAT'S OKAY.
SO BARRING ANY BIG SURPRISE. I MEAN, IT IS WE'RE WE'RE ON TRACK TO ACQUIRE THAT THAT PARCEL.
AND SO WE'LL WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS. AND THEN ONCE AS, LIKE YOU SAID, AS LONG AS THERE'S NO BIG SURPRISES, THEN IT WOULD COME TO YOUR BOARD, RIGHT? OKAY.
SO THE TOWN COUNCIL. OKAY, GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.
GLAD TO HEAR IT. THANK YOU. AND I JUST ADD, JUST WHILE WE'RE TAKING A STEP BACK, ONE THING I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HERE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, IN LIGHT OF OUR DISCUSSION YESTERDAY AROUND BUDGET, RIGHT? THIS IS WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS SITE IN TERMS OF SORT OF THE SERVICE LEVEL.
THERE'S $80,000 THAT COME FROM THE, THE CFD. AND SO IT'S REALLY LIKE YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE OPERATE THIS IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE LIKE A WHOLE TON OF NEW STAFF, RIGHT? IT'S, IT'S A COMMUNITY ASSET. THERE'S THESE EDUCATIONAL INTERPRETIVE COMPONENTS.
BUT I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S GUIDED OUR TEAM HERE IS LIKE, HOW CAN WE OFFER ALL THOSE COMPONENTS TO THE COMMUNITY IN A WAY THAT IS SUSTAINABLE AND DOESN'T REQUIRE A TON OF ADDITIONAL INTENSIVE STAFF TIME? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AND ACTUALLY, I DO HAVE A SLIDE HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
SO IN TERMS OF WE KIND OF WANTED TO UNVEIL A BIT OF THE PROJECT COST.
WE DO HAVE THAT. I'LL GO OVER QUICKLY THE PROJECT FUND SOURCES.
SO THE CFD IS APPROXIMATELY 8000 A YEAR. AND THEN THE SALE PROCEEDS IS, YOU KNOW, MORE OR LESS ABOUT THE 26 MILLION THAT'S ALLOCATED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AGRICULTURAL PARK, MINUS ANY LINGERING LEGAL FEES THAT NEEDED TO BE PAID OFF.
PAID OFF. BUT IN TERMS OF THE COSTS, 600 000 ABOUT AS AS ESTIMATED FOR THE PLANNING AND PRE-DESIGN.
AND THEN WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT DESIGN PERMIT AND CONSTRUCTION, THERE'S A RANGE.
BUT IF CONSTRUCTED IN ABOUT 2030, THAT RANGE IS ABOUT 14 TO 22 MILLION.
[00:35:08]
IF IT WAS JUST TO BE A PASSIVE RECREATION WITH TWO PROGRAMING A YEAR FROM INR.SO THAT WOULD BE MAINTAINING STAFF FROM LAS TRAMPAS PARK OPERATIONS TEAM.
THAT'S ABOUT 96,000 A YEAR 11,000 A YEAR FOR I&R PROGRAMING WITH THE 2 PROGRAMS A YEAR.
SO THAT INCLUDES ALL THE EQUIPMENT NEEDS AND OPERATIONS.
AND SO THIS IS JUST KIND OF LIKE TAKING A PEEK OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE CONSIDERATIONS ARE WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT HOW TO CONSIDER THE PREFERRED DESIGN OPTION GIVEN THE FUNDS AVAILABLE AND THE STAFFING COSTS AND AND WHAT IT WOULD TAKE FOR DESIGN PERMIT AND CONSTRUCTION, DEPENDING ON THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SERVICE AND RECREATION.
AND THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION AND I'LL WELCOME ANY FEEDBACK.
AND I THINK TODAY WE'RE THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL SESSION.
I KNOW LAST TIME WE'VE COME TO YOU, WE'VE GOTTEN GREAT COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK ON PARTNERSHIPS, POTENTIAL PARTNERS THAT WE COULD KIND OF MOVE FORWARD WITH.
AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE OVERVIEW AND ALL THE, ALL THE DETAILS.
SO LET'S SEE IF WE HAVE ANY BOARD MEMBER, COMMITTEE MEMBER QUESTIONS.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO FIRST? DIRECTOR MERCURIO.
SURE. HAS THE, HAS THE CONSULTANT OR MAYBE EVEN STAFF FOR THAT MATTER BEEN TO ANY ANY OTHER AG PARKS, MAYBE IN THE BAY AREA, EXCEPT, YOU KNOW, BESIDES ARDENWOOD TO SEE WHAT WHAT THEY DO AND HOW THEY OPERATE AND WHAT KIND OF PROGRAMS THAT THEY HAVE. YEAH. DURING THE INITIAL, WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THE COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT, PART OF THAT WAS LOOKING AT WHAT, WHAT ARE WHAT'S ALREADY AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITY IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.
SO WE DID LOOK AT DUBLIN'S HERITAGE PARK AND ALSO THE SAN RAMON'S FOREST HOME FARMS. THOSE ARE THE 2 THAT INITIALLY WE LOOKED AT AND WE HAD A TOUR FROM THE STAFF THERE AS WELL.
AND WE, WE SAW WHAT PROGRAMING THEY HAD, WHAT, WHAT THE PROPERTY LOOKED LIKE TO, TO SEE HOW WE CAN, HOW THIS AGRICULTURAL PARK COULD COMPLEMENT THOSE IN THE SURROUNDING AREA RATHER THAN BE DUPLICATIVE.
AND SO WE DID TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE TWO IN PARTICULAR.
AND THEN THERE'S THE, THE PLAN SHOWS A FENCE LIKE OUT FRONT, I THINK MAYBE DOWN ON THE SIDE. ON THE POSTERIOR SIDE AS WELL. WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THAT? WHAT'S THE DESIGN OF THAT FENCE? AT THIS POINT WE HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE EXACT TYPE OF FENCING.
BUT WE DO SHOW A FENCE JUST SO THAT IT WILL BE, YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE GO TO THE PARK, IT'LL BE LIKE A POINT, LIKE ONE POINT OF ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO GO IN AND YOU KNOW RECREATE WITHIN THE PARK.
AND THEN IF THERE ARE THOSE WHO WANT TO WALK THE PARK AND WALK THEIR DOG OR ENJOY A PICNIC ON THE BENCHES, THAT'S WHEN WE'LL PROVIDE THIS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GATE.
WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THE FENCE? TO WANT TO GO? I THINK IT'S GENERALLY SITE SECURITY, RIGHT. THAT THAT'S, THAT'S CORRECT.
SO AT OUR HIGH ASSET PARKS LIKE ARDENWOOD OR YOU KNOW I'M TRYING TO THINK OF SOME, WE OFTENTIMES CLOSE THE ENTRY AND KIND OF DON'T JUST ALLOW OPEN ACCESS AFTER HOURS.
BECAUSE THEY'RE REALLY IMPORTANT ASSETS. I GUESS I'D ADD, WE.
OH, SORRY. I WILL SAY THAT DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET IS THE COSTCO AND THE MARSHALLS.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANTED TO KEEP AHEAD, STAY AHEAD OF AND ENSURE THAT THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN.
YEAH, UNFORTUNATELY, I, I DREAD THAT THIS BEING CALLED THE COSTCO PARK, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE.
[00:40:04]
BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT THERE. AND THAT'S A DOMINANT FEATURE IN THAT AREA.BUT WE GOT TO REALLY, YOU KNOW, GET IT ESTABLISHED AS BOREL.
IT'S BOREL. ON THE, ON THE THE NORTH, IT'S ON THE RIGHT.
THERE'S THAT TRAIL SHOWN THERE. AND THAT IS ACTUALLY FENCED OFF FROM THE PARK.
AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED UNTIL SOME OTHER PHASE.
IS THAT, IS THAT RIGHT? SO CURRENTLY WHAT'S HERE IS THIS CONCRETE WALL BETWEEN THE, THE RESIDENTIAL AND THE, OUR PROPERTY. AND WHAT WE'LL HAVE IN HERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR TRAIL BASED OFF OF LIKE COORDINATION WITH THE CONTRA COSTA FLOOD CONTROL.
IF, IF THAT CAN KIND OF BE COORDINATED, THEN THERE WOULD BE A TRAIL WITH THE FENCE THAT WAY THE FENCE WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO, TO, WOULD ALLOW PUBLIC ACCESS FOR, FOR FOLKS TO GO DIRECTLY ONTO THE TRAIL CONNECTION HERE WITHOUT HAVING TO KIND OF GO INTO THE PARK IF THERE WERE TO PROVIDE IF WE WERE TO PROVIDE PUBLIC ACCESS DIRECTLY TO THE THE TRAIL AND THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT SIDE.
OKAY. AND THEN I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED OF THE LACK OF, OF LET'S JUST CALL THEM WALKING PATHS.
THEY'RE NOT REALLY TRAILS, YOU KNOW, IN THE PARK PLACES TO GO FOR A WALK, WALK YOUR, I MEAN, DOGS ARE LIKE THE BIG THING THAT PEOPLE WANT TO DO.
THERE'S ONLY A VERY LITTLE, A LIMITED AMOUNT THERE.
AND I HONESTLY ALWAYS THOUGHT THERE WAS GOING TO BE LIKE A PERIMETER TRAIL OR SOMETHING.
AND AT FIRST WHEN I SAW THAT TRAIL TO THE NORTH, THEY'RE GOING NORTH SOUTH.
I THOUGHT MAYBE WE COULD CONNECT WITH THAT AND TO THE OTHER LITTLE TRAIL NETWORK THERE.
BUT I'M THINKING THAT'S PROBABLY NOT A GREAT IDEA IF YOU'RE TRYING TO DO SECURE SECURITY RIGHT NOW.
SO I DON'T KNOW, I KIND OF FEEL LIKE WE'RE MISSING THE MISSING THE BOAT HERE IN TERMS OF PROVIDING, SOME REAL USAGE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE LOCAL FOLKS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE NAME IS REGIONAL PARK, BUT THE FUNCTION, A LOT OF THE FUNCTION IS A NEIGHBORHOOD PARK.
I MEAN, THAT'S THE WAY THESE PARKS ARE THAT ARE CLOSE TO WHERE PEOPLE LIVE AND PEOPLE LIVE RIGHT THERE, YOU KNOW, AND SHOP RIGHT THERE. SO I JUST THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, A NATURAL SURFACE TRAIL IS NOT AN EXPENSIVE ASSET TO CREATE, TO JUST PROVIDE SOME, SOME MORE OF A, OF AN OPPORTUNITY THERE WITH SOME, SOME ADDITIONAL TRAILS.
I'M WONDERING. KIM AND NAOMI. SO THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL BOARD, RIGHT? COULD WE, COULD WE YOUR BOARDS OR YOUR COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION BE INCLUDE, LIKE ADDING SORT OF MORE OF A TRAIL LIKE THAT OR SO. I MEAN, 2 THINGS. 1 IS THE ORCHARD MANAGEMENT PLAN, JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE ORCHARD WILL BE DISSED ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE OF THE DRY FARMING ASPECT OF IT, LIKE HAVING MORE PATHS WOULD JUST MEAN IT WOULD GET CHURNED UP.
SO IT'S THE PUBLIC WILL BE ALLOWED TO WALK THROUGH THE ORCHARD.
WE JUST CAN'T. WE CAN'T. WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP THEM FROM WALKING THROUGH THE ORCHARD.
WE JUST IF WE BUILD A TRAIL, IT'LL JUST GET CHURNED UP DURING, LIKE THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF THE ORCHARD AS AN ORCHARD, WHICH IS KIND OF, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE 2 MAIN ELEMENTS OF PRESENTING THIS AS AN AGRICULTURAL PARK.
THERE IS, YOU KNOW, THE PERIMETER TRAIL COMPROMISE WAS THIS EXTERNAL TRAIL, YOU KNOW, ALONG CAMINO RAMON AND THEN UP, YOU KNOW, THROUGH TO THE CREEK TRAIL. WE HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF COMMITMENT AT THIS POINT.
OBVIOUSLY NOT LIKE A SIGNED MOU OR ANYTHING, BUT FLOOD CONTROL HAS INDICATED A HIGH LEVEL OF INTEREST OF, OF, YOU KNOW, MAKING THAT A REALITY OF BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC TRAIL EASEMENT.
SO THERE, THERE WILL BE, YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO WALK THEIR DOGS WHEN THE PARK IS OPEN, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO COME INTO THE PARK, DO A LOOP, COME OUT, COME ALONG, AND THEN COME BACK OUT TO THE CREEK TRAIL.
AND THAT WILL THE CREEK TRAIL ACTUALLY CONNECTS FURTHER UP BACK TO CAMINO RAMON.
SO WE DO THINK THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY LIKE A NICE FLOW AVAILABLE.
YOU KNOW, AND DEPENDING ON, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE EASEMENT STARTS AND STOPS AND SAN RAMON NEEDS, WE MIGHT EVEN BE ABLE TO DURING PARK HOURS HAVE A SHORT CONNECTOR, YOU KNOW, THAT CONNECTS THIS WAY AS WELL.
THAT GOES KIND OF OUT OF THE TRAIL PROPERTY ONTO YOU KNOW, THE FLOOD CONTROLS, PUBLIC TRAIL EASEMENT, BUT NONE OF THOSE FINAL ELEMENTS HAVE BEEN FULLY BAKED YET BECAUSE WE'RE, WE'RE DEPENDENT ON YOU KNOW, THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH FLOOD CONTROL. BUT I DON'T, I DON'T THINK WE'LL NECESSARILY PRECLUDE THAT, YOU KNOW, DURING THE PARK OPEN HOURS NECESSARILY.
WELL, I WOULD COMMEND ME COMMEND YOU FOR THOSE ASPIRATIONAL VIEWS THERE.
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA. YEAH. YOU KNOW, THERE'S THIS CONCEPT OF DESIRE LINES, YOU KNOW, WHERE WHERE, PEOPLE CUT ACROSS THE GRASS AND IT WEARS A TRAIL AND THAT'S YOU LOOK AT IT AND THAT'S A DESIRE LINE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEY WANT TO WALK,
[00:45:05]
BUT THERE'S NO SIDEWALK THERE. I KIND OF THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE WHAT HAPPENS HERE IS WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE WALKING AROUND THE EDGE, I DON'T KNOW, SOME SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE'LL FIGURE OUT SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE WHERE IF EVERYBODY'S GOING THERE, THEN THEN MAYBE IT'S WORTH IT TO PROVIDE SOMETHING. BUT I'M, I'M TOTALLY FINE WITH, WITH LEAVING IT.LIKE YOU SAY, THAT'S A REALLY GREAT CONCEPT IS LET THEM WANDER AND SEE WHERE THEY GO.
YEAH. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
SO, SO YEAH, SO WE'RE STILL KIND OF WORKING ON SOME OF THESE DETAILS.
THE FENCE ISN'T GOING TO, I MEAN, CERTAINLY IT'S GOING TO BE A LOT BETTER THAN THE FENCE THAT'S THERE NOW IN TERMS OF NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDLINESS AND WELCOMING FEELING AND ALL THAT STUFF. BUT I MEAN, IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S MAYBE IT'S A COMBINATION OF KEEPING VEHICLES OUT OF THERE FROM DRIVING ACROSS THE ORCHARD AND DISCOURAGING FOLKS FROM JUMPING OVER AND GOING IN THERE.
SOMETHING LIKE IN BETWEEN THERE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. GO AHEAD.
I HAVE A MEMORY THAT THESE WALNUT TREES ARE NOT ACTUALLY PRODUCING WALNUTS ANYMORE.
SO WE DID DO AS PART OF THE FEASIBILITY STUDIES, AN ASSESSMENT OF ALL THE TREES.
AND I THINK A LARGE MAJORITY OF THEM WERE AT THE END OF THEIR LIFESPAN.
AND THEN THERE WILL BE SOME ADDITIONAL ONES PLANTED.
YEAH. BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS STRUCK ME AS A PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE HERE WITH, WITH THAT REALITY, THE, YOU KNOW, A TRUE AGRICULTURAL PARK. THERE'S SOME FARMING GOING ON, LIKE AT ARDENWOOD.
THERE IS AN ANNUAL HARVEST OR HARVESTS PLURAL.
AND IT'S, IT SEEMS LIKE A VOID HERE TO ME THAT THERE SHOULD BE EVERY OCTOBER, AN ANNUAL HARVEST WHERE THE KIDS ARE GIVEN BAMBOO, THEY KNOCK THEM OUT OF THE TREE AND TAKE THEM OVER TO THE BARN WHERE THERE'S A HUSKER MACHINE.
AND OF COURSE, WE DID THAT FOR YEARS AT ARDENWOOD WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNG, AND WE WENT TO THE HARVEST FESTIVAL EVERY YEAR AT ARDENWOOD, AND THEY HAD 2 MAIN ACTIVITIES. THEY'D GO PICK CORN, AND THEN THEY'D GET IN THE BACK OF A TRUCK AND GO OVER TO THE WALNUT ORCHARD WITH THEIR BAMBOO, AND THEY KNOCK IT OUT AND GATHER THEM UP AND TAKE THEM OVER AND THROUGH THE OLD TURN OF THE CENTURY HUSKER.
AND IT WAS A GREAT PART OF THE ARDENWOOD HARVEST FESTIVAL.
THOSE TREES AGED OUT, AND WE NO LONGER DO THAT.
AND I THINK THE ANSWER IS BOTH AT ARDENWOOD AND THIS PARK IS WE SHOULD BE PLANTING A NEW WALNUT TREES AT BOTH PARKS IN HOPES THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL AGAIN HAVE THE EXPERIENCE MY KIDS HAD.
AND IT'S JUST THE THOUGHT. I'M GOOD AT COMING UP WITH ADDITIONAL COSTS.
NO, I THINK THAT'S BUILT IN. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE WHOLE COST.
AND YOU CAN SEE BOTH IN THE DESCRIPTION THAT KIM PRESENTED FOR THE INITIAL COST, BUT ALSO IN THAT MAINTENANCE, THERE'S A, I THINK ONE OF THE LARGEST MAINTENANCE LIGHT ITEMS IS THE WALNUT ORCHARD, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, LIKE THE ENGLISH WALNUTS ARE GRAFTED ONTO BLACK WALNUT ROOTSTOCK.
AND BASICALLY THE ENGLISH WALNUTS HAVE DIED. AND IT'S THE BLACK WALNUT ROOTSTOCK THAT'S LIKE DOING FINE, WHICH IS YOU SEE THOSE BLACK WALNUTS UP IN THE HILLS UP THERE, YOU KNOW, FROM THAT ARE STILL THRIVING WITHOUT A LOT OF WATER OR TENDING. SO ANYWAY, IT'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF WORK TO GET THE, THE ENGLISH WALNUTS BACK TO WHERE THEY'RE, THEY'RE PRODUCING AND THEN TO KEEP THEM PRODUCTIVE.
SO THAT'S, THAT IS THAT EXACT THING THAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING IS, IS WHAT THIS TEAM IS BUILT INTO THE, THE DESIGN THAT'S PART OF THE. THANK YOU. THAT'S REALLY GOOD TO HEAR.
VERY GOOD. YEAH, IT'S IT'S AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION.
YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S TOO BAD ABOUT SOME OF THESE WALNUT TREES.
BUT I THINK WE'RE REALLY HAVING A THOUGHTFUL, INTENTIONAL APPROACH TO, TO, YOU KNOW, PRESERVING THE WALNUT ORCHARD HERITAGE. AND I THINK THAT THAT'S REALLY WONDERFUL TO, TO HAVE THAT STORY.
IT MAKES ME A LITTLE BIT SAD. WE ACTUALLY HAD SOME REALLY GREAT WALNUT TREES AT A WALNUT ORCHARD, I THINK RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE GARMS PROPERTY NEAR FOOTHILL HIGH SCHOOL IN PLEASANTON.
THEY'RE NOW GONE. THEY'RE GETTING REDEVELOPED INTO HOUSING.
BUT IT'S JUST INTERESTING, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT SITUATIONS, DIFFERENT PARCELS OF LAND.
BUT THEY WERE IN GOOD CONDITION. THOSE WALNUT TREES.
PARDON ME. I THINK THAT THIS IS A REALLY GREAT PROJECT.
I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF POTENTIAL HERE. AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE DIRECTOR MERCURIOS HUMOR ABOUT COSTCO PARK, BUT I ALSO, AND I THINK I MENTIONED THIS PREVIOUSLY WHEN WE HAD THE CONVERSATION ABOUT BURRELL AND I THINK THIS COULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK
[00:50:09]
DISTRICT STAFF AND OR POSSIBLY OUR REGIONAL PARKS FOUNDATION TO REACH OUT TO COSTCO AND MAYBE SEE IF THERE'S SOME, YOU KNOW, PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR.AND AS I'VE SHARED BEFORE, YOU KNOW, THE COSTCO CALIFORNIA HEADQUARTERS IS AT THE LIVERMORE COSTCO YOU KNOW, NEAR THE LIVERMORE AIRPORT AND DOOLAN CANYON.
SO WITHIN OUR EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT SERVICE AREA.
I THINK THEY WOULD BE EXCITED TO HAVE THIS PARK NEARBY AS WELL.
AND ALSO THINKING ABOUT NEARBY OPPORTUNITIES TO THIS PARK.
OF COURSE, IRON HORSE TRAIL AND YOU KNOW, JUST JUST BEING ABLE TO IT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE I THINK YOU HAVE TO PASS THROUGH OR PASS BY THE COSTCO TO GET BETWEEN BOREL AND IRON HORSE TRAIL.
BUT I WONDER WITH THIS SAN RAMON CREEK CONNECTION, DOES THAT ALSO MAYBE PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY? AND THIS MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, A PHASE DOWN THE ROAD, BUT TO JUST ALWAYS KEEP OUR EYES OPEN BECAUSE SOMETIMES DIFFERENT THINGS, ALSO DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES MIGHT COME UP IN TERMS OF THOSE CONNECTIONS.
SO JUST TO ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. AND THEN I KNOW ALSO THE LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, I DID MENTION, YOU KNOW, A COMMENT ABOUT DEMOGRAPHICS, YOU KNOW, I CONSIDER DANVILLE TO REALLY BE THAT NORTHERN POINT OF THIS, YOU KNOW, 680 CORRIDOR FROM DANVILLE TO SAN JOSE, WHERE WE REALLY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT POPULATION OF SOUTH ASIAN PEOPLE.
AND I THINK ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO ALSO INTEGRATE YOU KNOW, THE CURRENT DEMOGRAPHICS INTO THIS, I THINK THE HISTORY IS REALLY IMPORTANT. BUT THEN ALSO, YOU KNOW, I THINK IF YOU WERE TO ANALYZE THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE SAN RAMON VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, YOU'D SEE THAT IT'S PREDOMINANTLY ASIAN AND THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT SOUTH ASIAN POPULATION.
AND SO ANYTHING THAT WE CAN CONSIDER, I THINK I SEE THAT THERE'S A LAWN HERE.
AND I THINK ONE IDEA MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE A YOGA CLASS ON THE LAWN AND AND MAYBE IT COULD BE THE TYPE OF YOGA CLASS THAT, YOU KNOW, IS REALLY ROOTED IN TERMS OF LIKE YOGA IN INDIA.
AND THAT COULD REALLY, YOU KNOW, HELP BRING OUT YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE SOUTH ASIAN POPULATION, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THOSE PREDOMINANT DEMOGRAPHICS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE SO IN SAN RAMON THAN DANVILLE, BUT DANVILLE CERTAINLY ALSO IT'S GROWING AND I THINK AND I THINK IT MIGHT NOT BE NECESSARILY PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS, BUT I THINK WHEN WE'RE THINKING ABOUT SOME OF THE INTERPRETIVE PANELS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. AND I THINK YOU MENTIONED THERE WAS A YOUTH SURVEY AS PART OF THIS PRE-PLANNING PROCESS.
I'M JUST CURIOUS IF ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES CAME OUT ON THE YOUTH SURVEY. LIKE WHAT WERE THE AGES? DID IT INCLUDE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS? DID WE KEEP TRACK OF DEMOGRAPHICS? WE SO WE DIDN'T KEEP TRACK OF DEMOGRAPHICS THROUGH THOSE SURVEYS.
AND WE HAD WE HAD OUR CONSULTANTS DEVELOP LIKE A GRADES 1 THROUGH 4 AND 4 THROUGH 8, I BELIEVE, OR 4 THROUGH 5 OR 6 FOR THE, THE OUR OWN I&R NATURALIST STAFF TO KIND OF GO OUT TO THEIR OWN COMMUNITY THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE ON THEIR OWN MAILING LIST AND REACHING OUT TO THE SCHOOLS WITHIN THE BOREL PROPERTY PROJECT AREA TO KIND OF GET THEM AND THEIR TEACHERS TO FILL OUT AS WELL ON LIKE, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE? OR WHAT ARE YOU WANTING TO SEE MORE IN YOUR COMMUNITY? BUT WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY GET A DEMOGRAPHICS QUESTION.
THAT'S OKAY. I THINK WE CAN JUST GO TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WE CAN ALSO KIND OF HAVE, YOU KNOW, ESTIMATE IT. AND THEN FINALLY, I THINK I MENTIONED THIS PREVIOUSLY AS WELL, THE TRI VALLEY CONSERVANCY, WHICH DOES ACTUALLY, IT MAY STOP IN SAN RAMON, BUT I THINK THEY'D PROBABLY BE OPEN TO THE IDEA OF CONSIDERING DANVILLE.
OTHERWISE SAVE MOUNT DIABLO. YEAH. IT REALLY IS ON THE BORDER.
OTHERWISE I KNOW SAVE MOUNT DIABLO IS THERE TOO, BUT TRI VALLEY CONSERVANCY HAS A REALLY STRONG AGRICULTURAL COMPONENT IN TERMS OF REALLY PROMOTING, YOU KNOW, PRESERVATION OF AGRICULTURAL SPACES.
AND I THINK THAT THEY COULD ALSO POTENTIALLY BE A GOOD PARTNER TO REACH OUT HERE, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I KNOW THEY GO THROUGH SAN RAMON AT LEAST, AND I'M SURE WE CAN CONVINCE THEM ABOUT DANVILLE.
BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THINKING ABOUT, I THINK THE HISTORY IS SO IMPORTANT.
SO I'M NOT TRYING TO IN FACT, YOU KNOW, I'M SOMEONE WHO REALLY ALSO ENJOYS PRESERVING HISTORY, BUT ALSO THINKING ABOUT SOME OF OUR CURRENT ISSUES. AND I KNOW WHEN I THINK ABOUT GLOBAL AGRICULTURE, FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK THERE'S SUCH A GREAT LEARNING OPPORTUNITY IN THAT FIELD.
SO I THINK THERE'S SO MANY PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.
[00:55:04]
FOCUSED ON THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ASPECTS, SO THIS MIGHT BE MORE I&R, BUT CERTAINLY I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER AS AS WE MOVE FORWARD. SO THOSE ARE MOSTLY MY COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS.I'LL TAKE A MOMENT TO SEE IF WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE ITEM.
NO PUBLIC COMMENT. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT. BRING IT BACK FOR ANY FINAL COMMENTS.
IT'S NOT AN ACTION ITEM. IT'S INFORMATIVE. SO WE'RE NOT MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD.
I GUESS WE'RE JUST HELPING TO PROVIDE DIRECTION FOR WHEN THIS COMES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
SO ARE THERE ANY FINAL THOUGHTS. JUST REALLY GOOD WORK.
SO REMEMBER THAT. REMEMBER I SAID THAT THIS WAS VERY EFFICIENTLY DONE.
VERY EFFECTIVELY DONE. THERE'S A LOT OF REALLY GOOD.
I MEAN, THINK ABOUT ALL THE OUTREACH THERE. YOU KNOW, THAT CHART THAT SHOWED ALL THAT, YOU KNOW, AND I UNFORTUNATELY, I MISSED ONE OF THEM. BUT YEAH, I MEAN, THE WHOLE THING HAS BEEN DONE AND IT'S BEEN DONE IN A SEQUENTIAL, CONSTANT MANNER.
AND YOU KNOW, 2030 IS THE BEST WE CAN DO WITH CONSTRUCTION, BUT THAT'S NOT THAT TOTALLY FAR OFF.
AND OKAY, SO, SO NOW YOU'VE GIVEN ME A DATE. SO JUST BE AWARE WHEN I GO AND SPEAK TO FOLKS IN THAT AREA, I'M GOING TO USE THAT DATE. SO I'LL LET THEM KNOW.
2030. I ALWAYS SAY APPROXIMATELY 2030. SO THANK YOU.
YOU'VE LEARNED. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU AGAIN SOON.
GREAT. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO NOW MOVING ON. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE ANNOUNCEMENTS AGENDA ITEM 6.
[Announcements]
PARDON ME. AND I DO KNOW THAT YESTERDAY WE DECIDED THAT WE WANT TO CALL A SPECIAL MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.AND I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO YOU KNOW, TALK ABOUT THAT SCHEDULING PROCESS A LITTLE BIT AND MAYBE, YOU KNOW, HOW WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO BEST MOVE FORWARD TO MAKING THAT HAPPEN.
AND SO THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO HAVE LIKE A PLANNING.
MY MEMORIES AND MY MEMORIES GETTING OLD. BUT I RECALL THAT YOU COULD DISCUSS AGENDA ITEMS AT ANY MEETING UNDER THE BROWN ACT. WELL, I JUST, I THINK IT'S I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO BUT.
TO ME, THERE'S A PROVISION THAT SAYS TO DISCUSS THE AGENDA, FUTURE AGENDAS.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ON THE AGENDA. I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
I THINK THAT'S MORE OF A PLANNING ISSUE THAT IS BETTER TAKEN OFFLINE.
THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION. IT'S UP TO YOU TO DO.
DID YOU HAVE A DATE IN MIND? WELL, I THINK WE WERE TRYING TO MEET BEFORE BIG BREAK.
IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT. AND I, I HAVE A PROPOSED DATE THAT I TALKED TO JESSICA ABOUT.
POTENTIALLY YOU HAVE A BOARD, A SPECIAL MEETING ON THE NINTH.
SO I WAS THINKING SOMEWHERE AROUND THAT MEETING, THIS SHOULD BE VERY SHORT, SO MAYBE WE CAN DO THAT.
YEAH, IT SHOULD BE REALLY SHORT. I THINK THAT COULD WORK.
SO THANK YOU. AND THEN WE'LL STILL HAVE AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING AGAIN IN JUNE AS WELL.
THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING.
AND MAYBE WE CAN CONNECT BECAUSE WHETHER IT MAKES SENSE ON THE 9TH OR AFTER BIG BREAK.
PROBABLY AFTER BIG BREAK WOULD BE BETTER. YEP.
AND THEN I DID WANT TO MENTION ONE OF THE AGENDA ITEMS JUST REAL QUICK TO THE COMMITTEE.
AND I DID ACTUALLY MENTION THIS PREVIOUSLY DURING OUR WORKSHOP SERIES, BUT FOR A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING OR I'VE RECEIVED A LOT OF COMMENTS FROM, I THINK DOCTOR COFFEY SPECIFICALLY, AS WELL AS OTHER BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE NOT ON THIS COMMITTEE TO, TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE BOARD OPERATING GUIDELINES.
I DON'T THINK IT NEEDS TO BE BEFORE BIG BREAK.
AND ONE PROPOSED IDEA FOR US TO LOOK AT THAT MAY BE TO CONSIDER ANOTHER SPECIAL MEETING IN JULY.
I KNOW THERE'S SOME VACATION SCHEDULES, SO JUST THINK ABOUT IT AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, AS, AS THE COMING WEEKS COME UP. BUT IN THAT SPECIAL, THAT POTENTIAL SPECIAL MEETING IN JULY,
[01:00:03]
MAYBE WE CAN START TO TALK ABOUT BOARD OPERATING GUIDELINES, BUT I'D LIKE TO HAVE THAT COME THROUGH THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OR TO BE CONSIDERED TO COME THROUGH THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. AND IF OTHERS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW, BUT I JUST WANT TO PROPOSE THAT AS A, YOU KNOW, A FUTURE AGENDA ITEM, FUTURE WORK PLAN FOR US.OKAY. ARE THERE ANY OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS? ALL RIGHT THEN WE ARE ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU EVERYONE. THANK YOU.
