Hello, my darlings. I'm super happy to see you here through the webcam. I can see you all. Wouldn't it be fun if I had a list of names and then I could call out like, hi, hi everybody, hi, and then you'd all call out, hi Riggs, hi, hi, and then we'd all feel happy. I never know how to start the videos, can you tell? Well, this is our last lecture on heredity. And this class, I like it. I like how the content is put together. I like that we build from very small things and we transition to, you know, from understanding tiny molecules and atoms to looking at how those molecules and atoms get put together into cells that actually do these really cool things like go through mitosis and meiosis, do cellular respiration and grow and make more and make babies. And this whole section is about what do those babies look like? Now, I know you've been following along like good little students and doing all the work that you need to do, taking good notes and probably, hopefully, hopefully, at this point, you're looking at heredity and going, it's kind of mathematical. It's kind of logical. Kind of makes sense if I can figure out phenotypes and genotypes that can predict possible gametes and then I can make a square and do like multiplying stuff and end up with possible offspring. I can interpret this genotype is this phenotype. It's pretty straightforward. You might even feel like, dude, I understand heredity. I understand genetics. Well, I love you. Don't forget that because this lecture is fully designed to show you how all that that you understand, most things don't work that way. And heredity is a bajillion, fornillion, gazillion times more complicated than those patterns that we've learned already in this class. But do not lose heart because I'm gonna break it down for you into little organized clips to slowly build on some non-Mendelian patterns, some explanations for why we don't see Mendelian patterns and hopefully an appreciation for how profoundly complex and amazing we critters life is. All right, probably a good lecture to take your time. I'm going to assume that you have all the previous content in your back pocket. So there will be review opportunities talking through Punnett squares. We're gonna use them talking through phenotypes and genotypes and alleles and possible gametes. We're gonna use all that stuff. So make sure that you are cozy with those concepts. And I tried to organize us from easy to hard. Okay, so we'll start with the stuff that hopefully is pretty logical, but this might be a lecture that you need to, you need to go a little slower on and take your time with. Okay, let's go look at some dominance patterns, some phenotypes associated with dominance that don't quite match what Mendel threw down.


Ciao a tutti! Welcome to Monza, the Temple of Speed, one of the most iconic race track of the world That's gonna be all about straight line speed, pit braking and traction out of the valiente, the chicane Andiamo, let's go Monza!

Item Number – SCP-574 Object Class – Euclid Special Containment Procedures – SCP-574 is located within Containment Site 105, which is surrounded by a concrete barrier 3 meters high and 1 meter wide. Warning signs are posted at the edge of the Foundation-owned property. Months per month, a live adult pig, sus scrofa, is to be placed within SCP-574. Any additional buildings not being cultivated for study are to be demolished by Mobile Task Force size 7, home improvement, as soon as it becomes feasible. The interior of SCP-574 is monitored by both cameras and high-definition microphones. Any anomalies in SCP-574's interior are to be reported immediately. Description – SCP-574 is a former factory in the United States. The exterior appearance of SCP-574 is metamorphic, with over 328 distinct appearances on record. The interior contains three floors, with industrial equipment in varying states of decay. When a subject approaches within 40 meters of SCP-574, it will manifest a campfire near one of its upper windows. If the subject does not continue to approach it, several more campfires will appear, with human silhouettes being visible in the windows. If the subject does enter SCP-574, it will create several signs of human habitation. SCP-574 has been known to commonly manifest broken beer bottles, sleeping bags, clothing, and empty food cans, as well as concentrated deposits of ammonia, urea, and other compounds commonly found in urine. As the subject continues to occupy SCP-574, the floor beneath them may suddenly collapse, causing them to fall into the basement. On impact, the basement floor will take on the properties of wet cement, and forcibly drag the subject underneath, before hardening. When active, concrete within the basement of SCP-574 has been found to be acidic, with a pH of 3.5. If SCP-574 consumes more than three subjects in one month, additional facilities will begin constructing themselves around it. These will be support facilities for a factory, such as an electrical power plant, or a market to sell the goods produced within the factory. If allowed to build completely, these structures will become derelict, and begin sharing SCP-574's properties. When it was initially contained, SCP-574 was surrounded by two power plants, a marketplace, and the remains of a harbor. If SCP-574 is denied food, these structures will begin manifesting more enticing items, such as silhouettes of women undressing, the cries of distressed animals, and the odors of food, and cannabis. SCP-574 was initially discovered on 918-1995, when a homeless man called paramedics to it. Upon arrival, the subject claimed he had taken up residence within SCP-574, and had witnessed the deaths of other subjects, due to SCP-574's effect. After several paramedics were killed, reports of the anomaly reached Foundation agents embedded in the American military. Containment was successfully enacted by members of MTF-SI-7, Home Improvement. As of 10-30-1995, all witnesses were issued Class-C amnestics, and SCP-574 was classified as Euclid. Addendum, Interview 574-A Interviewed, Subject 574-A Interviewer, Dr. Jankiewicz, forward, interview taken during initial containment. Interview, Dr. Jankiewicz, forward, interview taken during initial containment. So please tell us how you came to find this structure. Subject 574-A You mean the WTF factory, right? I guess, I mean, it was some place we all knew about. Good night's sleep, warm, usually kinda dry. Interview, Dr. Jankiewicz, forward, interview taken during initial containment. It was a well-known squatter camp. Subject 574-A Well, not a camp. You see, nobody wanted to live there. There was noises, sometimes, at night, spooked the hell out of me when I went there a couple of times. Interview, Dr. Jankiewicz, forward, interview taken during initial containment. Dr. Jankiewicz, forward, interview taken during initial containment. Dr. Jankiewicz, forward, interview taken during initial containment. Why did you go on the 18th? Subject 574-A Ah, sh**, now I gotta think about this. Ah, sh**, probably Frank, or his little posse, told me he was gonna be staying up there tonight to talk about something. Dr. Jankiewicz, and you went? Subject 574-A They said they had some baked beans, so sh**, yeah, I went. Dr. Jankiewicz, what happened when you arrived? Subject 574-A Well, nothing much at first. I bummed around, hehe, on the first floor, heard a lot of people on the next one up, but I didn't really want to bother with those guys more than I needed to. Dr. Jankiewicz, please get to the point, if you can. Subject 574-A Right, sorry, tend to ramble about stuff. Anyways, so I'm bumming around on the first floor and Frank's crew comes down. Frank starts preaching to the dozen or so guys there, talking about a place where we'd never need to worry about cops or gangs or nothing. We asked where it was, and he said we was in it. Dr. Jankiewicz, what was the general reaction? Subject 574-A Confusion, cause that sh** didn't make sense. He goes on about there being a lot of new buildings around here and how they was going to make even more for us, then he started asking for volunteers. Dr. Jankiewicz, please continue. Subject 574-A Sorry, sorry, so he takes the volunteers and sticks them under this big rusty a** pipe. Next thing you know, they got swallowed up by the rust and the grunk on the floor. We could hear them screaming and breaking. It was like a speaker outside a store. It was horrible. Dr. Jankiewicz, I'm sorry, did it go on for long? Subject 574-A Yeah, Frank tried telling us to chill out because we didn't have to die, and we could live for free, but he got shouted down, and then a few people got rough, then the floor started to rumble. People were falling left and right. God, I, it was killing each other, even down there. I saw it. They choked each other before being just drowned in that cement. Frank was hollering his lungs off, till the cement set. F**k, I just wanted beans, you know, didn't need that s**t. Dr. Jankiewicz, so that was when you left and contacted the authorities. Subject 574-A went to the corner store, yeah, are we done, please? End log. Closing statement. Subject was issued Class B amnestics following this interview. Isn't complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-573, the Pied Pipe, right now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.


Robust scientific evidence supports the significant impact of two rotavirus, RV, vaccines worldwide on RV disease burden. Improving vaccination coverage may lead to better disease control, and research continues into new RV vaccines to improve accessibility and effectiveness in high mortality settings. Informed decision making is crucial when choosing a vaccine for immunization due to the range of available options, with future investigations needed to evaluate their performance in real world settings. This article was offered by Volkaveta, Robert C. Gardner, Serge Debruss, and others.


So, Julie, this project has a farm thing on it, so they put in this huge, like, functional... It's $10,000 in water tank. All right, promptly at 7 o'clock, I will call this meeting of the City of Santa Cruz Planning Commission to order. Tess, can we have a roll call please? Mr. Conway? Here. Dawson? Here. All right. Here. Maxwell? Here. McKelvie? Here. Paul Hemis? Here. Kennedy? Here. Are there any statements of disqualification tonight? Seeing none, we'll go ahead and open the oral communications. Anybody from the public here? No. Moving on. So, let's go through the approval of minutes, and I'd like to do one vote per, because I know that some people are here and some weren't. So, Tess, would you like to lead us through those approvals of the minutes? Sure. Do I have a motion for approval of the minutes of March 16, 2023? I would like to make a motion to approve the minutes for March 16, 2023. I'll second. Thanks, guys. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Abstentions? The motion passes. Approval of the special meeting minutes of March 30, 2023? I'll move the approval of the minutes for March 30, 2023. I'll second. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Abstentions? Is there a motion for the approval of the minutes of April 20, 2023? I'll move the minutes for April 20, 2023. I'll second it. All in favor to approve the minutes of April 20, 2023? A quick point of order. I wasn't at the 30th. Okay, cool. Never mind. I abstain. I abstain as well. I'll abstain also. Three abstentions. We have some more all in favor. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay. The minutes pass. Thank you. Was I supposed to abstain from the 30th then if I wasn't here? Sorry. I think she took another. Okay. I'm going to go ahead and vote. It just goes by who was there. I said roll call vote, but I meant voice vote. All right. So tonight we have general business. Is this a public hearing? I don't think so. We're just going to talk about it and give input. So the capital improvement program is great. I've been doing this a long time. I've literally seen projects go from the bottom of the list to the top of the list. And I'm very excited to get this started. I'm a little bit excited to get this started. I didn't watch the administration's advisory, but I really want to encourage everyone to like ask your questions be like, hey, what about I'm going to ask about the softball field lights? You know, but this is a really good opportunity for us to understand kind of budget priorities and things like that. So don't be shy. We start the staff presentation please. All right. Thank you commissioners. the new capital investment program. We're going to go into 2020 capital investment program consistency with our general plan 2030. So there's a state law requirement. That states that all new capital improvement programs projects need to go planning body of that city for to be found consistent with a general the city of Santa Cruz. There's really a lot of things that we're talking about in the capital investment program. So just really briefly general plan 2030 it's a city's blueprint and includes the 10 elements and 7 of which are highlighted in yellow here and those 7 are touched upon tonight through the consistency finance of these projects that we're talking about tonight. So the capital investment program for the city of Santa Cruz there's really a lot of things that we're talking about in the city of Santa Cruz. So we're talking about that 2, 3 years ago in our ongoing and are continuing into this new capital investment program. And then there's maintenance and improvements to existing facilities. And those are projects larger projects that have previously been reviewed by this commission that have other minor improvements or maintenance happening to them in as part of the planning process. So really what we're here for tonight is to find consistency with the general plan for new projects. That have not yet been analyzed. And specifically we're looking only tonight at the 9 projects that will begin in FY 24. So while there are many, many CIP projects. That you'll you'll see in the list and in the attachments to the agenda that we're talking about tonight to find consistency with. And you're certain and I'll go over those 9 projects now, but you're certainly welcome to ask me questions about other projects, but I likely won't know the answers to them. And I'm I'm I'm certainly happy to reach out to our folks in parks, public works and whoever and get back to you if you have a specific question on a project, but we we're here tonight really as you know about it check it out. So we're going to start with the parks and rec projects. We have like that consistency finding with these 9 new projects that are beginning in beginning work in 2024 fiscal year. So I'll start with the parks and rec projects. We have parks facility security improvements. These were really done. This is a high because of the arson that happened at the parking lot. So we're going to start with the park design for those those park facilities. And then the Harvey West Park redesign. That's a larger one they're looking at doing a master plan for this park is there there really has never been one. And a lot of the facilities in this park are kind of nearing the end of their lifespan. So it's a really good opportunity for parks to kind of think bigger about this about this area. So we're going to start with the park design. And then we're going to have a special interest in the pool. And figuring out the programming capacity of that how to make it even better community facility. And is currently. There's a sergeant Derby playground renovation. And this is really part of the community parks replacement program. Whether they're going around park by park to improve the design of the park. So we're going to start with the water conservation irrigation system in this park and. If you want an example of this program, you can look to the recent Garfield Park improvements that were done. This will be a very similar project to that. And then the water conservation irrigation system. This is really centered around. Park and golf course and this is a very similar project. So we're going to go beyond just. Simple incremental changes that improve the efficiency of the park in its water use this. They're looking at a much more comprehensive way to really decrease the water use in the park. This project. And then West Cliff design and improvement in the water conservation system. The park's interest in also doing design and standardization of all the new improvements that are happening there whether it's like railings and benches. Things things of that nature. In public works projects. We have a traffic calming program and again this is actually tied a bit to West Cliff. Public works is looking to use it as a public engagement tool kit. We're both this neighborhood and then for it to be used also citywide. So it'll it'll initially be tied into this West Cliff work. And. They'll likely be going to City Council in August kind of begin this work if this. Cip is approved. A lot of. A lot of public engagement projects. Citywide. And then the food waste preprocessing system improvement. This actually probably could have been one where it's it's kind of a. Ongoing maintenance kind of project this. This larger project was completed in 2020 just before the pandemic. But they are looking to come back and do additional. Additional improvements to it to cover it and better protect it. And the facilities. And then the. Stream bank restoration which was to improve the erosion protection. To the branch of 40 drive bridge. And branch 40 drive. And then the belts water treatment plant upgrades. There's a well at the one at the. Belts water treatment facility. That needs that needs a modern modernization. And that needs to be improved. And that needs to be improved. And you'll see in the in the commission agenda tonight that we we have a. A spreadsheet that goes through all the various consistency findings for each of the general plan goals and policies. That these 9 projects. And so with that staff is evaluated these projects are consistent with the general plan. With that a recommendation is that. Planning Commission make a motion to find the following that. These are consistent with the general plan 2030. That concludes my presentation. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Commissioner questions. Focused on these 9 projects. And where would those be for the new projects? Says new to the budget document this year are fact sheets. For each of the new projects. I guess I didn't see a fact sheet. I think they were supposed to be separated out from the capital investment program. The larger document I think we're supposed to separate them out. And provide them as another document. I think we're going to do that with the new project. I think we're going to do that with the new document. And I think that's a good attachment. I'll double check on that language and see if I can provide those to. Yeah, I would have been really helpful just to see like you said we're just considering these 9 projects. I also found that the table pretty confusing. constructive feedback that you know just if we're if we're focused on these 9 projects. And I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point to end with the consistency findings for the general plan which was very helpful. But I just found it a little confusing and then I was looking all over for the back sheets. Because I wanted to the details on the fact sheets would have been really really helpful. So I'll probably have some more comments around that later. But thank you. Yeah, I think those fact sheets would have really just centered around the amount of funding. And the timing of those. You know if they're available we could take a look at the number of the items that we want to given the attendance tonight. I don't know are they readily I don't I don't have them separated out from the yeah, no problem. I did have one question. When I read through the tables in the report. If something if there is no expenditure shown for fiscal year 2024 in the column that means that there's nothing slated for the project going forward in this. So that would be the number of CIP items that are new this year, but aren't starting until 2025 or 2026 and they're not included in this review. If if something did have fiscal year 2025. Expenditures. Anticipated would that be in here or is that sort of in the future? Yeah, that would be that would be in the the following year. So they had new new projects but then also new projects that are just starting in this this fiscal year. Questions. Comments. Yeah, and I just was going through the budget sheets and for the most part, I thought that they, you know, pretty much made sense, but some of them do raise some questions. So some of the things that I was curious about is the Coral Street project. It was budgeted at 710,000 and just 99 five was spent and I wondered if there was a change of plans. Or has there been a work plan change? I was curious about that. And then about that. And then there was another in that same category. There was a million seventy three thousand. This is project number C102 three three zero two. There's no EA at all. And I think it's for shelter. And just because it is in the you know, homeless response category, I was just curious about especially when there when there's a budget no EA. What was that number again? It was C102 302. And I believe it was a homeless response. Item and then. Okay. I believe for that one that that's that's an ongoing. Yeah. Amount that we typically give to the housing authority and things like that for shelter services and visions. Okay. So it's a it's a budgeted amount. I hadn't noticed before that there was no EA at all. Yeah. So something's changed. Okay. I'll double check on that. Just curious. It's not it's not one of our consistency findings, but. And then there were a couple of other similar things that just looked like the, you know, expenditures aren't quite going as fast as possible. And you know, it's been a wet winter. So I attributed that to most of those. Yeah. For for coral in particular. There was a lot set aside for that, but we've only used a certain amount for this. Visiting exercise first. And there there will be additional. Money's spent on that in the future is in the next phases of that project. Whether it's hiring architects and developers and things like that. To refine that work. Okay. And I'll look in the budget and see what the sources of those funds are. I am curious. Yeah. I think I think a lot of that came from the federal, the federal funding and the state funding. Which often doesn't work for that stage. So, okay. Thanks. Well, I get my out of the scope question off my chest right now. I feel it's related to planning, but I have a broad definition sometimes. I'm so stoked to see the LED lights going in over at Harvey West field. I play softball there. My kid now plays little league there. And it's great they're doing, you know, supervision lights with solar panels that shade the bleachers, which are super hot all the time. So thank you. My question like from a planning perspective is light spillage. That's actually a pretty cool question. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know about the region, but. Was that addressed on that project? Do you remember like, you know, our scope would intersect with that? I'm pretty sure they're shielded and all that. But that was my question. Yeah. I can't speak to that project in particular. Okay. I know through our objective standards work. In the past couple of years, we've worked a lot with. The night sky folks. The dark sky. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. So people don't know exactly what it is. Um, I don't know. But who knows how well. Okay. So I'm not sure how they're incorporated now, right. Like maybe parks or. Yeah. I think I think that would be parks. Follow up all aspects directly. Um, a lot of times in a tuition lights that everyone's like, Hi, they're so bright and there's a little back and forth there. That we're constantly hear about at these meetings. Yeah. One one plus with those LEDs as they, they can usually be directed really. Yeah. might remember Rod Cortararo who sat up here for many years. This was like his pet peeve and he's happily retired in Hawaii many years ago, so it's nice to see that done. Second question is on point, West Cliff Drive, like it's so rapidly evolving the situation out there and I understand the city's awesome approach is to just like get as much state and federal funding as possible, as quickly as possible. But are we thinking about, I don't know, would it be capital funding to have a planning element to respond to that, you know, from the planning department side, specifically changing streets really quickly, adjusting traffic flows through neighborhoods. Is that something we should start putting at the bottom of the list because it seems like we may need it soon? Yes, as far as the the planning, planning side from from my work, thankfully a lot of a lot of that's already started even before these really specific resiliency and recovery efforts came about due to the winter storms this past year. We're currently working on updating our our LCP, our local coastal program, and that that's been an ongoing effort to bring that into consistency with our general plan 2030, which is actually now we're still still currently technically using our our 1990s LCP. And so it's long been a desire of ours to bring that into consistency with our new general plan. And then also it gives us the opportunity when this documents open to open it up and make sure that it's talking about modern things that are that are happening and not just what was in our, you know, what was talked about in 2012 when our general plan was adopted, you know, language around, you know, climate change and things like that and resiliency has changed since then that conversation and both what's and what's happening on the ground too. So really making sure it's the most up-to-date document possible. We've been working with Coastal Commission on it for a few years now and there's been changes to it and refinements in the back and forth. But it is moving forward now, especially because of these new efforts and just making sure that this work aligns with all the other recovery work that various departments are working on throughout the city. So there's definitely new energy around it, but it's something we've been working on and thinking about for a while from a planning perspective. And we're we're kind of ready to build a lot of this other work that's happening into this effort. That's a great answer. So continued already in budget and then like as grants come as we've already done, you all hold those up for extra work. That's a good answer. Thank you. I'm ready for a motion unless others have questions. So I just was wondering if you talk a little bit more about the re-design of Harveyville West Park. It looks like we have $250,000 slated for that, which is a new project we're considering. So one of it's like a pool feasibility study. So is this for the design and does that include community input? I'm assuming this is a consultant fee to do the re-design and is there a community input part of that or what's that look like? I do imagine so. I think parks tend to work with the community quite a bit on a lot of this, but I don't know specifically what their plan is for that input. Okay, I can follow up with them. Thank you. Mm-hmm. I know with Garfield Park, they did a really good job into that little booth and the kids got to vote on the colors of the equipment. It was a good process, I thought. All right. Anybody ready to make a motion? I have one more question. I'm just curious. This is a little bit out of our scope and this is about the food waste pre-processing system because it is up on here. May I read the little flyers that come with the bills, but how is that program going, the little brown boxes that are going out? I do not know. I will have to talk with our public works person on that one. Okay. I am curious. I see more and more of them being used, but I'm wondering how it's going. Yeah, I can follow with you on that. I'm curious too now. Yeah. You can report back if you wanted a future meeting if it's convenient. Other reckons got ours like last week, so that's how it's going for us. I think it's interesting with that program. The other modes are so automated, but this is literally one of the big brown bins in the back of a pickup truck.  It's really different to see the whole process take place. I don't know if that's something that's evolving or still kind of in the early stages, but it's a very different process. Yeah, I've had a hard time wrapping my head around it too, and I don't use it a lot because I can just use compost. I don't have much to go in there, so I've just been really curious. Good for cooked food though. Keeps a ton of methane out of landfills. One question. I'm curious, I don't know if you're going to be able to answer this, but you can tell me who to talk to you. With the downtown recovery budget that's in here, it's not something we're voting on tonight, but it's in the 2023, and I'm curious, it says begin implementation of downtown design standards to key amenities, such as plantings, bike racks, trash cans, benches, and aspects of hardscaping curbs and parking meters. And it seems like with all the big changes, I'm curious that they're happy in downtown if there's a coordination with the changes that are coming in addition to what I guess we're calling a recovery, which means fixing something that wasn't working, and so I'm just curious if you know anything about that particular. Yeah, great question. So until recently our downtown plan was called the downtown recovery plan because it started, you know, after the earthquake, and I think that's why that language is still used here and not just downtown plan phase four. But it's a really good question though, because yeah, this work has been, was started last year by Public Works and they brought someone in to do kind of like what I mentioned about what Parks is doing on West Cliff, like all the standardization of amenities and doing really significant detailed design work on how and what everything will look like downtown. That's been really beneficial work because it's not only going to help our current downtown, but it's a lot of work we can coordinate with them on to bring down into the expansion area as well as we're talking about that. So kind of the next phase of our downtown expansion work is to go back to the community and talk a lot about design and streetscape and circulation, design of buildings, things like that. And this work definitely, you know, helps inform that part of the discussion and certainly something we want to, you know, make sure that there's a lot of work that went into it and we want there to be consistency between the two.  Everybody's got their own budgets and their own teams and their own vision and all the things. So it would be a missed opportunity to not be thinking bigger picture in that way. And then also I would just maybe suggest to somebody that we look to the future rather than recovering even though there's some serious work that needs to be done down there. But okay, well, thanks for that. And that recovery plan was a huge success. So it needs to get its name taken away before the next recession comes. I'll go ahead and make a motion for the 2024-2028 CIP that it is consistent with the general plan 2030. Moved by Commissioner Dawson, second by Commissioner Maxwell. We have a roll call vote, please. Commissioner Conway. Hi. Dawson. Hi. Gordon. Hi. Maxwell. Hi. Calvi. Hi. Columbus. Hi. Kennedy. Hi. The motion passes seven to zero. Staff, do you have any informational items this evening? We do, yeah. I have a few items to report. There's no items going to the next Planning Commission meeting for you on the first, but on June 15th, there is one item currently scheduled. That's a 1811-1815 Mission Street. It's a 27-unit, three-story SRO project, taking the place of two existing single-family homes in Mission Street there. That's the only other item currently on the Planning Commission schedule. And three other items. Coral Street that we mentioned, the vision plan went to Council last week and was adopted. One major change, one minor change is that three parcels under private control were removed from the vision plan. So those, the references to those and how we think about those parcels is taken out. So that's the one change Council made from this commission. The Oversize Vehicle Ordinance, which this commission saw last year, was approved by Coastal Commission last week for a one-year pilot program. So that was a big success getting that approved there.  Our first draft of our housing element was submitted to HCD. And so that was a very big lift. And I thank your commission for all the feedback and support on that one. So thank you very much. And congratulations. Thank you. Yeah. It's a good document so far. And it's really important just to let everyone at this commission and anyone listening that comments from the state are due in August. But we would really love for anyone the public to provide us additional comments on that submittal that that draft is now available online on our on our web page. It's city of Santa Cruz dot com slash housing element. And you can find our newest submittal to the state. And we're certainly going to be refining it over the summer. In addition to then once we get the state comments back. So whatever comments we get sooner than later is really beneficial because we can work on them now before we get a ton of comments from the state dropped on us in August. So just to just letting everyone know we would love to receive more feedback on that. I'm so proud of that plan. Continuing our leadership. And you got my comment about the mapping of the district. So that's already in the hopper. Good. I have one informational item to add. I know everyone has to work 314 Jesse Street groundbreaking is tomorrow at 11 o'clock. I know me and Julie will be there. If anyone can squeeze an hour out and come by you should. It's an incredible project. And it's the one that completed our arena targets when it finally got through plan check after many, many rounds. So it's going to be a good day for Santa Cruz tomorrow if you can make it. We don't have any subcommittees nor advisory body oral reports nor items referred to future agendas. So with that I will adjourn the meeting. Thank you everybody for coming out and for your time. Thank you. Thank you. I think it's 11.


The best kind of doors are the doors you have to explain. Welcome, welcome to Unhinged with the DoorDork where your hardware nerds get together, we knock and we slam and we laugh and learn at some different doorfills. And we have fun while we do it. We dork around and learn a little bit more about doors and that's the idea behind it, right? And to have a little fun while we do it. Today, we do have a very special nerd joining us, Mr. Leo Des. Maybe one of the only guys that might not need an introduction on this platform, but Lee, why don't you go ahead and hop on and introduce yourself. Tell us a little bit about what you do and maybe a fun fact. No, I appreciate that very much. So yeah, it's great to be here. I've been watching everything that you all been doing and I'm big fans and it's an honor to be here. So thank you and nice product placement, by the way, Benji. So I appreciate the opportunity to come on and share some time with you. So yeah, Leo Des been in the security connected product space, I'll call it for a little bit over 20 years, security a little less than that. Been at places like Brevo had my own integration company, Uniki, Allegiant had a consulting company called Group 337, which was purchased by Latch where I'm currently at now focusing on partnerships in the ecosystem side of it. But really my niche where I like to spend my time is in the access control industry. And so it's somewhat of a segmented knee deep in the access control space, but then overall just sort of lover of the security industry. But where I like to separate myself, if you would, would be to focus on the access control space and really one foot in the old and one foot in the new. Sort of the, I utilize the saying of like, majority of our industry has been focused on today and yesterday, I like to focus on today and tomorrow with an appreciation for yesterday. So that's where I like to spend my time. I like that a lot. Thanks. Yeah, it's been three years in the making of trying to distill exactly what it is and why, but that's my why behind or how I spend my time. Something that people don't know about me. I don't know, recently I got a tattoo, that's new. Oh. And it's a jar. A jar. Yeah. So that's sometimes those people all for a loop and they see that on me. More meaning behind that jar or is it a door pun? You know, like when is a door not a door pun? A jar, there you go. I wish I could say it was. That would be commitment in a lot of ways. That's why soon you got to get your tattooed on and step up and you don't have to. No, it's my wife and kids' initials. And then also I've always liked stencil tattoos for whatever reason. And I don't know, maybe it's a midlife crisis. I just turned 45. You know, it's cheaper than a motorcycle or you know, a lot of other things.  So we'll see what happens. But yeah, that's something that most people don't know. I got my first tattoo. Well, my only tattoo when I was 20 and I'm 38 now. And I have not gotten another one cause I can't decide on what I'm gonna permanently put on myself. I actually, now that we're talking about tattoos, let's just dive in. I do not have a tattoo. And I don't know, I have a like a textile texture things, I don't like sticky things. But I wonder if I was gonna get a tattoo. It probably would be either something really about my family and love and all of that or something very dorky like a key or like door or something like that. Yeah, I've joked around. I think the next one is it can be like a padlock or something just sort of like moments in time. But this one, yeah, for whatever reason I've always wanted it. And I just said screw it. I'm like, I'll do it. So I did. Yeah, no, that's a great tattoo and a much better reason than just a door pun. So thank you. You can use it for that. I'll add it in front of it. But yeah, only for trade shows though. Okay, well, welcome, Leigh. So happy to have you on the show.  Yeah, hello. Happy to have Leigh on today. And hopefully we can talk about the documented history of electronic access control at some point. My fun fact for today is that I was the president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in college. Kind of boring. That surprised me though, right? I mean, it's definitely a fun fact, but it's not surprising to me. Now that I know you at least. Yeah, also nerdy. Again, staying with the nerdy facts. I was also in student government too. So there you go. Super nerd, been a nerd from the beginning. All right, Benji, your turn. Fun fact. Fun fact. Okay, I got one. So not many people know this about me, but I almost went into culinary arts for school. I'm an avid cooker and love cooking and experimenting. And one of the things that I really enjoyed doing is going and experiencing really good food and then going home and trying to like recreate it. You know, like trying to do it my way. And sometimes I'm very successful other times, but I have no idea. Maybe I'm like missing some secret ingredient that I couldn't get half of my palate. I don't know. Very cool. On that note, I'll tell you, my wife started a catered company before she did. So I was a sous chef for her. It's called Fresh Confections. But yeah, she did desserts. And basically when I started the integration company that we had primarily did audio video work and then some security, but we were doing lunch and learns and she happened to move here from Oregon, University of Oregon. And instead of buying Panera or whatever it was, was like, why don't you make the lunches? And next thing you know, it turned into a whole catering company. So one of the things that we would do was pretty fun is we would go out to restaurants and try different things and see if we wanted to bring it back to the menu. So I share that experience with you. That was the fun part of it. The hard part is being on your feet for that long, cooking and you're working for that living very hard. Oh yeah, especially if you are catering, that's like all day. So much prep work that goes into that as well. Many people don't understand the prep work that comes into it, especially as a sous chef where you're doing most of the prep yourself. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun. We learned a lot about each other doing that. So it's cool. Wonderful. Okay, so let's dive into Unhinged. For those who don't know how the show works, I'll share my screen. I'll pop up a picture of a door, fall, fell, install, code violation, something a little unique. And because we have Lee on deck, I accustomed a little bit more towards access control because I knew that was your niche. So there'll be access control centric to this certain extent. But anyways, we'll give it a knocking score. One being not too knocking bad and 10 being pretty knocking bad. Like this is a code violation. Let's get the AHA involved. I think we've only had a couple of those so far, but we'll see what happens today. You guys ready to get started? Let's do it. Yeah. I don't know if you're ready for this. I'm gonna do my best. What do you see? First impressions. Is that a wave to open? It is.  Or can you only trigger it after you unlock it? Yeah. It might be a little bit of both. Oh, this is like a wall paint. So the keyway? Yeah. That's a pretty open keyway. Okay, I was just saying that. I thought I was like, am I missing something? Did you doctor that up? This is at a hospital and they're missing something. Really? Maybe a cylinder. Yeah, it could be. I mean, do you need it? No, I'm kidding. The only thing that strikes me here, I always feel like the architectural aesthetic side of a lot of the stuff that we do, it seems to be like just slammed together and in a lot of ways. It sort of like shows the disparate systems and lack of interoperability of these systems and that that you have to have like in Portlandia when they're like, just put a bird on it. It's like our approach to every door. It's like, I'll just put this on it, right? Like, and I get why? It's because of the needs and sort of the, I mean, that's two things on Portland, by the way. And by the way, I think this is very Portland show, but I just don't feel like it does us any service in the architectural community to the fact that it's like continuous Mr. Potato Head of doors in a lot of ways. There's got to be a better way, in my opinion. No, I get that. A lot of times when you look at access control, you get a hodgepodge of different systems that kind of get built together to try to make something work. I agree with you. It doesn't seem like it was designed that way. It was almost like an afterthought. Well, it was probably done in multiple steps, right? Like this hospital's probably built mechanical system. Then they probably came back at another time and said, well, we want access control, but we don't want to put any whole EAC in. So electric strike reader, then pandemic probably happened, right? And now they want touchless, so wave to open switch, right? So this is probably two to three renovations on this opening. Yeah, which was also like one of my things that I always like to think about is, when you talk about the access control industry, I think the biggest issue that it currently has is actually the doors. So I know we're on a door door, but if you think about it, like look how much real estate that door has. And we always try to solve things like in the centimeters and inches versus this entire door that, that's why I get kind of excited when you think about what some of these door companies are doing where they're embedding technology into it. Is that going to be the way things go moving forward? I gotta believe in some respects, but I don't fault people for trying to do solutions like this, because they're trying to deliver a solution of a need that, you know, it's somewhat impossible to plan for every scenario in a lot of cases, right? Especially as things change and utilization of that, you know, that was a lab. Now it used to be an IT closet before type of a thing, right? Yeah. So from a security standpoint, one thing that stands out to me, yeah, it's the lack of a key way. If anyone has a flat head, they could easily open this up without needing the right credentials. But also, if you look closely, you can actually see that it is a guarded lock set, but the guard is actually slipped into the latch. And I know it's hard to see unless you like blow it up. But if that's the case, you could use the screwdriver. That'd be even easier to open up the doors. You could just slip open the latch that way. And I wonder if there's any like, I don't know, at a hospital, there might be some stuff that people might want to get a hold of, whether it's information or products behind this secure door. That's my first impression, first concern, and partially why I threw this up there. Yeah, and if one door looks like this, more than one door probably looks like this. Yeah, I wonder why they took the cylinder out of there. Maybe because they didn't need it anymore because they have the access control system on there. But I always say this, you can have the best access control system in the world. But if you don't have a controlled key system that backs it up, that supports it, that goes hand in hand with it, you literally bypass your whole system right there. Yeah, actually, you bring up a good thing and maybe tell me if I'm going out of the rules here, but you mentioned the key backup. This is a continuous debate that goes on within our industry. Like what is your views and your thoughts on? Are keys going away? I think eventually we'll get there. But like if you look at the European market and the Asian market, they're already there. I think right now what the perception is, if I don't have a key to override electrical failure, then there's panic around that. So until we can overcome that perception, you'll have a key. I hope we get there. Because that is such a pain to deal with when you're building out a master key system. And it is often your weakest point of your access control system. So I hope we get there. I don't know if it's gonna be anytime soon in the States, just because there's so many of these really established facilities that rely heavily on that system. Unless we have a whole paradigm change in the industry, I think it's gonna be a while before we see that. And I would add as a caveat that there would still need to be some kind of backup system set in place for emergency. So our first responders had to get involved. Yeah, I'm aligned with all of that. My belief is I don't think in our lifetime we'll see it go away. And frankly, I think this is where we'll get interesting in a lot of ways our industry has been horizontally focused. The same systems and products that are built for airports would be built for hospitals that are built for the subshot down the road. And the belief that at least I have is that verticals will specialize and those verticals will have sort of norms or truths. And our industry in certain instances like this it may very well need to have it. But then you could see in some cases, if not having it it's also what's interesting is the US market being such a big growth market but yet slower to adopt in some of those areas the technology, it's like this weird thing where it also though creates a long-term really good opportunity for companies. Like you get examples like multi-family, right? There's a belief that it'll go away and you won't have keys, but then laws come into place because not everybody has a phone and the rest of it's where you would have it and also has a good backup plan on that side. So I just don't see it going away as much as I would love to see it from an innovation standpoint. We can all see the day and maybe this is where we go back to the door side thing, right? The doors go swoosh and they open up like the Jetsons like we believe maybe you wouldn't need a key but you could also imagine there still would be a key override and a lot of those things just in case the power went out or the swoosh didn't work to open up. In this case, it doesn't look like they needed one. Maybe they did, but yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking they probably took the cylinder out from a convenience standpoint or they were in the middle of switching out key systems or updating it and just forgot the store because they didn't need it. They said access control, why have it on it? So what is this now? This is like two rotten tomatoes or what was the... Yeah, let's give it a back in the store. Lee, Mia, what do you guys think? I don't think we have a lot of like, well, I mean, other than you could get through this door with a simple tool. I don't think there's really a life safety risk. There's definitely a security risk here. So I'm gonna say it's about a five. I think that the EAC and a way to open could be laid out better. Yes, there's 15 other solutions we could put here. That being said, the solution we have could have been laid out a little bit better. And then that, you know, the guarding, the fact that the guarding is in the strike, not great, but we've seen worse. Hot mess, seen worse, give it a five. I'm good with that. Kat, yeah, I was thinking a very similar thing. And like this is in a hospital so they'd have to get multiple layers through of security or if someone watching them or looking at them, I happen to get this far. And if I had, I mean, without anyone like really catching me if I had poor intentions or was trying to steal narcotics or something, I would maybe give it a little higher score because I knew what was behind that door being a lap. But that being said, yeah, not too knocking bad. Kat, next one, are you guys ready?
