CHANGES TO THE AGENDA

Mayor Rodrigo Espinoza requested that Item 13 be the first item of discussion.

13. Issuance of Permits to Sell Safe and Sane Fireworks.

Council Members Mendoza and Soria recused themselves from this item because of a conflict of interest due to each belonging to one of the organizations being considered.

Recreation Superintendent Benoit said the Council would be reviewing applications for the discretionary picks tonight. She placed a copy of the applications in the Council’s mail boxes last week for their review. She said the Council will be selecting two discretionary picks and once they are picked the rest will be put in a random lottery. The maximum picks will be five, one booth per 3,000 residents.

Superintendent Benoit advised the Council that the applicants have complied with the requirements for a non-profit organization.

Mayor Espinoza asked if a representative from each group was present. He said the reason he was asking was to see if anyone would like to share a booth.

Mayor Pro-Tem Samra asked Superintendent Benoit if only seven groups applied for the discretionary and lottery picks.

Superintendent Benoit replies yes.

Mayor Espinoza opened and closed citizen comments at 8:31 p.m.

Mayor Espinoza asked if anyone would like to share a booth.

Mayor Pro-Tem Samra asked Mayor Espinoza if he was going to do the discretionary draw first or do the drawing first then the discretionary.

Mayor Espinoza said he was going to do the discretionary first.

Mayor Pro-Tem Samra asked Mayor Espinoza if he wanted to reverse the order if they could reverse it.

Council Member Sicairos said he would like to put all seven groups in the drawing, but if they need to have two discretionary picks, he would like to make a recommendation if possible.

City Attorney Sanchez stated that the Ordinance allows the Council to decide to put everybody in the lottery and not do the two discretionary picks in case the Council was deciding to put everyone into the lottery.

Mayor Pro-Tem Samra suggested putting everyone in a random pick because all the groups do a great job in the community.

Mayor Espinoza made a motion to select two discretionary picks. He said he had promised the Livingston Youth Football to be put them in the discretionary pick for two years in memory of the late Michael Coronado and the other to be the Livingston 4^th of July Committee. He said everyone benefits from the 4^th of July Committee event.

Mayor Pro-Tem Samra made a motion to put all seven applications in the lottery pick.

Council Member Sicairos said the Council Members were in disagreement because he would pick Livingston Wrestling and Livingston Youth Football.

Mayor Espinoza advised Council Member Sicairos since there was no second to Mayor Pro-Tem Samra’s motion he could make a motion. He said to do one at a time.

Council Member Sicairos said to vote on Mayor Espinoza’s motion first because he had made the first motion.

Motion: M/S Espinoza/Sicairos to select Livingston Youth Football as a discretionary pick. The motion failed to carry by the following 2-1 roll call vote:

AYES: Council Members: Sicairos, Espinoza

ABSENT: Council Members: Mendoza, Soria

{Note from TheGardeningSnail. I was at the meeting that night and from what I can remember, and what I have in my notes, Council Members Soria and Mendoza both Abstained from voting on this item…..and because they both Abstained, the above Passed by a 2-1 Vote of the Remaining Council Members. I’m checking on this.}

Council Member Sicairos made a motion to select Livingston Wrestling as a discretionary pick.

The motion died due to lack of a second.

Mayor Espinoza said this is a year where they could work with MID and the cities on how to store water during a rainy year.

Supervisor Pedrozo said everything is connected to water and he remembers how his history teacher, Mr. Evans said water was going to be an important issue in the future.

City Manager Jose Ramirez said California is one of the states that does not regulate its ground water and this might be imposed soon. He said it’s important to work together as a group.

Supervisor Pedrozo said he is the representative for the Regional Council for World Counties (RCWC) and that all 34 counties believe they need to work together instead of the State coming in and telling them where they could or could not drill a well.

City Manager Announcements and Reports.

City Manager Ramirez said ERWIN has come out with some guidelines about the brown water and he will see if they could package Well 15 which has a secondary manganese MCL limit that needs to be worked on. He had several conversations with HCD and HOME Program staff to see if the City could get some funding to help the community for low flushing toilets and shower heads.

City Manager Ramirez added that the EPA requires cities every five years to do an Unregulated Contaminated Monitoring Rule.

CITIZEN COMMENTS

Mayor Espinoza opened Citizen Comments at 8:58 p.m.

Katherine Schell-Rodriguez, P.O. Box 163, Livingston, said she had a couple of things to address, one question followed by a statement.

· How is the Street Fair being run this year, is the City doing it or someone else?

· The City is being sued again. Notice in closed session item, California River Watch vs. the City of Livingston. She did some research on line and downloaded a copy of the document that was filed 03/26/14 and the letter that was sent that was dated 12/10/2013. A case that was a complaint for injunction relief for civil penalties, restitutions and remediation. The whole document was 13 pages. Basically, it is a citizen suing for relief under the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act.

· Read page 5 of the claim for relief on line 11. The City has violated and continues to violate the MCL which is the maximum contaminant level for Arsenic. For Well # 13 is evidenced by the list of reported violations that was provided by the California Department of Public Health.

· Line 15 – the violations of the City as alleged in this complaint are ongoing and will continue after the filing of this complaint.

· Line 22 – River Watch alleges that without the imposition of appropriate civil penalties and the issuance of appropriate equitable relief the City will continue to violate the Safe Drinking Water Act as well as Federal Standards with respect to the enumerated discharges and releases alleged ad hearing.

· Page 6 – which is the Relief Requested, line 9 – order the City to provide public notification by mail and through newspapers of general circulation within two days of receipt of laboratory report identifying violation of the MCL (Maximum Contaminate Level). To parents, guardians of children, pregnant women, the elderly and the infirmed among others at risk individuals. Order the City to fund a supplemental environmental project providing potable drinking to parents, guardians of children, pregnant women, the elderly and the infirmed, among others at risk individuals from arsenic and drinking water. Whose doctors provide a written request to the City, order the City to pay a civil penalty per violation per day for violation of Safe Drinking Water Act and order the City to pay River Watch reasonable attorney fees and cost, including expert witness fees, grant such other and further relief that and may be just improper.

City Manager Ramirez said City staff contracted with Between Friends out the Merced area and the Street Fair will start in May, 2014. The City is currently sending out flyers and some will be going out in the utility bills. Anyone who is interested in participating in the Street Fair can pick up an application at City Hall. If vendors are planning to sell food they need to comply with the County Health Department regulations. The Street Fair will be at the same location and might be expanded after the sidewalk is completed where the Court Theater used to be.

City Manager Ramirez said the City has contracted with an abatement person that deals with the pigeons.

Mr. Eldin Perkins, Retired from the Army and Air Force Exchange Service commented on how well the Council Members are doing their job. He is leaving to Kansas and will be back next fall, so keep up the good work.

Mayor Espinoza thanked Mr. Perkins for his service.

Mayor Espinoza closed Citizen Comments at 9:10 p.m.

City Attorney Sanchez said the City has to follow all orders from CDPH with Well 13 and is continuing to follow all orders and is not in violation of any compliance order given by CDPH.

City Manager Ramirez said he is going to focus on Well 13. He said the City received authorization from CDPH to operate Well 13 even though it is slightly over the MCL limit on the contamination level. He said the well is the last one they turn on and the first one they turn off so they could meet the systems’ daily demands.

DISCUSSION AND POTENTIAL ACTION ITEMS

12. California Department of Parks and Recreation Grant – Scope of Work.

City Engineer Gouveia noted that in 2004, the City was awarded a Roberti-Z’Berg-Harris grant through the California Department of Parks and Recreation to restore the Court Theater. The restoration did not take place and the City ultimately used approximately $23,000 of the grant funds to demolish the structure.

City Staff met with Parks and Recreation Staff to discuss the possibility of revising the scope of work and pursuing a waiver for the City match portion of the funding. Parks and Recreation Staff were very receptive and encouraged the City to request a different scope of work to use the remaining $477,000 and to apply for a match waiver. City Staff was also advised that time is of the essence since the City will not be granted more extensions of the grant timeline which means that all construction activities and paperwork must be completed by March 31, 2015.

City Engineer Gouveia commented that in terms of the City match, this grant program requires a match of at least 3/7 of the State grant amount which amounts to $214,300 for a $500,000 grant. The City will request a full match waiver since the funds originally committed to the match by the City were primarily Redevelopment Agency funds that are no longer available. In the event that the State grants the City a partial waiver, the City will likely have to restructure the grant amount to fit within the City’s available match funds.

City Manager Ramirez said he met with the State and the City could do something within a year for recreational purposes and he recommends that the Council complete a project within a one year mark.

City Engineer Gouveia said City Staff met with the State and asked for a partial or full waiver. The State said the City qualifies for a full waiver and he proposes to prepare the application to ask for a full waiver.

City Manager Ramirez said the City is outlined as a disadvantaged community and City Staff asked for a full waiver and the State agreed and now the City is applying for a total waiver.

City Engineer Gouveia proposed that the money be utilized in building such as restrooms, a shade area, a playground and some trees at Joseph Gallo Park.

Mayor Espinoza said Joseph Gallo Park is widely used by the community.

City Manager Ramirez stated that Joseph Gallo Park is a combination of a park and a drainage basin.

Mayor Espinoza opened and closed public comments at 9:16 p.m.

Council Member Sicairos asked what if the City doesn’t get a waiver.

City Engineer Gouveia said if the City doesn’t receive a full waiver, but only a partial waiver the City will have to come up with some match in funds and the scope of the project will be adjusted to what the City can come up with.

Council Member Mendoza asked if the City could put in the playground at the Sports Complex.

City Manager Ramirez said it was up to the Council to decide what park they would like to improve, but only one park would be improved.

Mayor Pro-Tem Samra said Joseph Gallo Park does not have restrooms or anything type of playground.

Council Member Soria said they should build some bathrooms at Joseph Gallo Park.

Motion: M/S Soria/Sicairos to adopt Resolution 2014-20 approving the application for grant funds for the Roberti-Z’Berg-Harris Nonurbanized Area Need-Basis Program under the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks and California Coastal Protection Act of 2002 for improvements to Joseph Gallo Park. The motion carried 5-0 by the following roll call vote:

NOES: Council Members: None

ABSENT: Council Members: None
