Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Jurassic World Evolution! Not uh, our live. I meant to say it. Apologies! So we are back! I've, I, you know, I have had so many freaking issues when it has came to this. You have, you have literally no idea. I've sent my old mixer back, I've got a new mixer, and now the issue I've found is that actually, it's not really the mixer's fault, it's Elgato. For some reason if I capture through Elgato, it starts breaking up and destroys the whole thing. So, I don't know man. It's, it's freaking technology. You think it's supposed to work, but it doesn't. That's what happens when you leave it. Everything installs itself and it's a right name there. But hopefully, our fingers crossed. I'm touching, I'm touching the wood. You would, I hope your wood is some sort of wood. Everything's got to be okay. Because we have a very interesting episode today in Jurassic World. Alive, not evolution. Wow, there is, there's so much going on. I mean, you've probably seen the thumbnail title, we'll get to that in a second. But I just want to, we've got a new update on the horizon that's promising new dinosaurs. But, oh my god, it's like Ludia, Jam City. Whoever you need to chill, really need to chill. It feels like within the last three months, we've had new apex, new apex. Every month there's been a new apex. And what does a new apex mean? It means incubators to buy money, things. It's just money for them. It's, it's now getting to a point, and I know we will get into the fun part of the video. I just want to get this out of the way because this is my initial thoughts. And when I saw this, I was like, oh, for God's sake, really. So I will go over this first. You've got a panther, oh is it panthera? Panthera? There you go, panthera. So the final atrociraptor is coming to the game. A new mammal, the direwolf is also coming. The ancornyx, ancornyx, which is obviously the direwolf mixed with something else to make that hybrid. And as well as the pyrex, which I have no idea what that is. I think this has been datamined or maybe they've put it in. I think they've probably put this in. I can't imagine to find these images through a datamined. Maybe you can. I don't know. Oof, let it. But not only have you got those, you've got like a new epic, you've got a new rare, you've got two new uniques. But you've also got an indolecan. Oh, indolecan. And not only is that an apex, you've also got a new other apex, the geminidus. So if you remember, gemina titan, I think I have a level 29 actually. I never, I never level, oh level 28, okay. I never leveled this up. And I think it's this thing, which is I've got a lot of to make. But gemina titan is getting a hybrid. So this is the thing. And it's, it's so freaking obvious now. And I wish they wouldn't do this. They, they really, really only care about adding new apexes and new uniques to your roster. And it's just going to replace another in your team because you can only have so many.  Because I mean, this is it. This is what you go into. This is what you choose. You choose your, your randomized for from it. And that's it. So when they add new apexes in, the only thing that's going to happen is that it's better than something else in your team and you'd level up and put it in. And yeah, that's the whole game. Yes, but it's, it's just so frequently now. And it's just beyond a joke. What this game is, it does not need new apexes. It does not need new other creatures. What it needs is a balance. What it needs is new things added to the game. It needs new ways for you to interact with the world.  Wait, oh my God, a lot more. There's a lot of stegosaurs there. Why is that? I was like, oh, is it like a, a community day? Like we just had in, in Pokemon Go, but it's not. There needs to be something. There was only one time when Galamimus appeared loads in the wild. And that was it. I want, you know, some sort of, yes, you've got raids, but you can do other things. You can darts it. I don't know, man. There's, there's loads more, but it feels like 10 to 20% of the game is actually what you see right here. And that is the world. The rest of the game is battles. And, you know, depending on how you see the battles, you could see them as very good. And technically for what they are, they are very intense. They've, that's where the money comes from. But a lot of people might not like the battles. But really, I mean, what else is there to the game? You dart the dinosaurs. You level the dinosaurs up to do what? To battle. That's it. There's nothing more to the game. I don't know. I feel like there's just so much more they could do with it. And obviously the CEOs or whatever are seeing that every time they release a new apex, boom, stock shoot-up will release, in-game expenditure in the game goes up. And so they're like, well, we just do that, I guess. There are 330 dinosaurs in the game. So everything else becomes redundant. Things become rare. They deliberately don't have things in the wild, so that when they release a new apex that has that as an ingredient, it takes a long time. And then in order to max it up, you need to buy this incubator, which costs 45 pound. If you don't do that, then you're not going to go higher in the leagues and you're not going to get the better prizes. And therefore, you're not going to do as well. And it's just this long drawn out process that does not stop. I had somebody on the Discord message and say, Beaver, do you like Jurassic World Live or is it a love-hate relationship? And I was like, it's a bit of both. We're going to be honest. Why are we in today's video, apart from getting all that out of the way, because they have added, or at least, you know, they've put in the scorpion hybrid or scorpion apex. You know, we're going to get another two in the near future anyway, which are probably going to be better than this thing. Um, for 15,000 bucks, which is a crud ton. It might even be more. Anyway, if we buy said incubator and we open said incubator and get the guaranteed 40, we have unlocked the alchronics. Now, is it going to be any good? Don't know. I've never seen anybody use it. I'm sure that now, because I've, you know, I bought every one that had came out. Um, I've really won that try of alchronics. However, even if I buy that, I'm not level 28. So I'm okay. But we do now have the alachronic. So yeah, it looks like edge Lord demon thing. Oh my God.  So 40% armor, 50% chance to crit level 26, 109 speed and necrotic impact, Precise decelerating rampage, decimating a Telsen. Again, that's a delay of two. That's a lot and a strike on escape. Immune to storm, immune to damage of time, immune to speed decrease. If you remember when Trananon Valkyrie came out, that thing, it was, it was so bad that nobody used it. However, Lydia in their, you know, amazing mind decided to buff it. So now it's where it should be. And it, you know, it's just where they want it to be. It's really good for now. Do you know what was also really good when it was released? More wrecks, hadrosolux, gorgotrabex, sinuserotops and cloeslux. Where are they now? Never used. So just like them, Trananon Valkyrie will go down. So will the Sarko go down? Like the flock meta became a thing to get rid of those. So that now they could start fresh and start pushing new things for you to buy. And I just really wish they wouldn't do it. Really wish they wouldn't do it, but they do it. Anyway, anyway. So I'm going to take, I need to take out something from my team in order to use it. But the scorpions are very good because they've got flock. However, this scorpion, the alchronix, whatever you want to call it, does not have the, oh, there it is. Beautiful, Dracorex. Right. Okay. So we're very slow. 109 is very slow. So what is a good thing to go for? Target, HP, what is it? Attack 3200, bypassing dodge, which is good for the internemies thing. And we just speed for 50% for fall. Attack 2 turns, which is very good. It also has this. So it heals health and does a fair bit of damage that goes through armor. It also nullifies. So what is it? That's really good against internemies as well. And this thing. So you go, remove shield, deals rendered damage and enable the swap. So actually two attacks are very good against internemies. None of them, I think, do damage to everything. So it's not good against flocks. So we'll go for the precise one. Why not? Oh, the armor. I mean, I forget. I'm, what, level, I'm level 26 against the level 14. Whoa, cool to see. Yeah. When we did the raid, we didn't do it with it's glow in the dark thing. That's pretty cool. Oh, look, it's bait. So here we go. Something that's got a pounce. It's cleansed itself and it's also, sorry, dodge. Oh, I've never seen it's animation from this angle. That's cute. And it might be just my attack. Okay. So here we go. But okay, we're just completely nullifying that.  Not a great deal. And what does this one do? So remove shield. There's a big attack with a hundred percent chance to crit and bypasses dodge. So it goes through armor. It goes through dodge. You will get a crit. It seems very good. It seems like basically if you have a dodge, if you're an opponent has a dodge, they're not getting through this.  Oh, there we go. Wow. It really runs all the way out of shot. That's amazing. Okay. So basically it's kind of a counter for Comp Seraptor, but it's not because that has no moves that, you know, counter Comp Seraptor. It just has a move that kind of goes through dodge. So basically it has moves that do a lot of damage, go through dodge and it could kind of heal itself. So it's an Indonemis killer, basically. Indonemis, it doesn't matter what it does. It's going to have some that goes through its armor, which it has a lot of, and it's also going to go through its dodge, which it could, you know, put up first term. And I imagine a lot of players, when they first come up against it, are going to have that issue where they don't really know what to do with it. And it does feel like it's a creature that it needs a speed boost. 109 going last. You don't get any, like, good perks from going last. So if I have a look at my Indonemis, it's around about 127. So going first with this Scorpion, the fact that it can't be speed reduced, you need it to be faster than an Indonemis. And if it's faster than Indonemis, that's great, because it means that it's going to kill an Indonemis in two attacks, basically. Especially if it's level 30, and it's got boosts on it. So with that in mind, and because I have 16, I will get it to maybe 27. Should I put one more on? I'll put one more on just in case, just in case. It's faster than mine. It may be faster than some other ones. Hard to say. And that's as much as I feel comfortable putting on at the moment. But I feel like, because it's one of the Indonemis, maybe that's the best way to go for it. We have dropped a load, as you can see, when no one is 6,000 cups anymore, because I love this game. It's brilliant, but we'll play a few things. We'll play a few games, and we'll see how this does. Okay, okay. I'm very curious to see how it does. Also, if we get the other Scorpion, that would be good, too. Oh, the first one. Should we put our Scorpion out first? Yeah, go on then. I didn't really put any boosts on it, but you just didn't see. The whole Scorpion team, yes. Oh, it would be good against Inditorus. But actually, this Scorpion itself is good against Inditorus, because it could do a stun. It can do the bleed. Yeah, let's do that. I don't know what he's going to do here. What would be a good thing for him to do? To swap. Oh, is it able to escape? It is able to escape. So that's all I do. Okay, sweet. Swap and distraction. Ooh, that's... Well, we do bleed it, I think. So pretty decent. He's now, however, going to go for his 3,700 damage. I do have a lot of armor, but it isn't enough. And he's definitely quicker. So it's really tricky to say what to do. Yeah, I don't know. I think we're going to have to lose it. I think we're going to have to lose it. Oh, shield and lockdown. Okay, that's a cool animation. I haven't seen that one before. Oh, wait, what? Did he just expect me to...? Ooh, interesting. I think he expected me to do that. Has he ever came up against this? Well, he could. Surely he can definitely kill me now. Very... Well, that was well played. Oh, he gets a crit. Of course he gets a crit. Okay, cool. Would that have killed me anyway? Maybe not with a crit. Maybe not with a crit, but... Hey, hey, oh, there you have it. So now he has an attack that does 5,000 damage. I have 40% armor. Come on, then! Another scorpion! Right, so we could slow him down and then devour him. He is sped reduced for this turn. So we may as well just speed reduce him for the next one as well. If I was him, yeah, just go for the big hit. Best thing to do.  I'm sorry to kill him. If I was level 30 and I put attack boosts on it, I probably could have killed it there. But you know, this is the way the cookie crumbles at the moment. I don't think I have any resistance to attack. So if he wanted to, he could just go for his priority and just completely reduce me. However, he didn't, but I don't think I have enough attack to kill him, so I'm definitely dead. Whoopsies! Yeah, I think this is the problem. I think ref is actually against this scorpion a good counter. So yeah, this wasn't a good showcase. Whoopsie, Daisy! But again, you know what? I will have a look. I'll have a look at the top leaderboard, see if anybody actually has this scorpion, what they're thinking about using it. Oh, swapping out. Very interesting. Unless he's got a paratops, which you know, at this level, I kind of wouldn't be surprised to run into one of those. Okay, and on close looks, am I able to be stunned? There was a slight chance, but okay. I think he gets invincible. Oh, he doesn't get invincible. Okay, so I do not want to be hit with a counter here, but that's, it's going to be a fair amount of damage that comes through. I've pretty much lost this one. I really don't think there's any way that I could win it. That would be very surprising, because he has his ref to go for that, like speed. And then he also has an Inditorus to really just slow me down here. Unfortunately, that's not enough to take me below half hell. I think he's going to go for his priority here to do some damage. And I can't believe he knew exactly what to do against that scorpion, predicting me to go for the shield. That was very interesting. So I feel like refs probably going to be faster. I mean, 124 is not fast enough to take on ref. I don't think so. I hope that it is. I'll bird to serve you. Damn it, he's faster. I am just, oh, I'm not, I'm not even slow. Yeah, just, just, just finished me. Like that was, that was horrendous. You know what? I've never used those creatures before. But yeah, that was, that was not good. Maybe it's not good against ref. Shall I put out first? No, I'll put ref out first. I'll die if I do that. We don't want to do that. What would it be? Ah, Imperatus Sutius. Could have been an interesting fight that actually, because like it's got some resistance to the bleed. But then again, I counter bleed, and then I can put bleed on. So even with the resistance there, that would be interesting. Did he just let that time out? I think he let that time out. Did he? Maybe he was like, ah, it doesn't matter what I do here. I just want to reduce his speed, so it doesn't matter.  Possibly, we don't know. All right, okay, we'll, we'll figure out now, because he should go for a heal. Let's have a look. I think, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Okay, good. I was a bit worried that, um, yeah. He would, I think the one time I get the actual scorpion, and he was just about, he'd like gone. It's like, come on, no. Right, okay, okay. I mean, that's like the best you could really do. I mean, what am I going to do? I'm just going to try and, try and stall him out here a little bit.  I think he's got no attack now? Yeah, he's got no attack, so he just put some bleed on. He does, um, uh, reduce my speed even more, but it could have been the big hit. It could have been the big hit there, um, but it wasn't. So it's going to be the big hit now, of course. Oh, and it's a crit. Oh, uh, whoa, whoa, whoa. It was the big hit, but I've survived. Don't know how I did that, but you know what? I'm not going to argue. Oh, I cleansed myself. Ooh, ooh. I might have been better just doing a regular hit, actually. Hmm. Must remember that. I'll save that for future. In the brain. All right, here we go. Into Taurus. Interesting. I think I have enough for my, yeah. I don't think he realizes it. Yeah. Oh, wait, no, it goes through dodge. Not cloak. Hmm. This could be interesting. I don't even have, again, like I said, 80% chance for ref to get crit. Like, honestly feel. It's not 20% chance. It's a lie. He's going to do nothing here. He is faster, I think, but that's it. I think I'm faster next to him. No, I'm not. Well, I think he kind of forgot that I can just get rid of his shield.  Oh, he does. Okay. Well, yeah, that's okay. That's okay. He does have a revenge cloak. However, this thing is basically built to kill clokey things. So what would it be? Let's round of applause for this scorpion. Thank you. Thank you. I know. I know. I spent money. It's brilliant. Thank you. Thank you. I know.  And we're precise to celebrating rapids. Wait, they're crit. Gets the kill. Oh, you love to see it. What's this one? Oh, that's not what I wanted. Anyway, oh, dear. Oh, Kyrie's something that's resistant to bleed. Very interesting. I absolutely hate with a passion deal because it takes no skill and all you need to do is go hit, heal, heal, hit, heal, heal, hit. And that's it. That's all you need to do. But strangely enough, it is actually okay. Oh, okay. He could have happily have stalled that and just kept on repeating the same thing over and over and over. But he didn't for some reason. Why did he not do that? Instead, he's locked himself in to a bad situation. He's locked himself into a loss. He could have just like done big hit, heal, heal, big hit, heal, heal. And I don't have an answer for that. My Sarko isn't too great because all of the attacks, you know, it reduces my attack and gets rid of my attack buff. But for some odd reason here, he's decided to... I might not still be over for him to be fair. He still has a chance to swap out. I don't think this bleed is going to kill him. I'd be very surprised if it does. Oh, he's got a chance to get out. I think he's got a chance now. Oh, wait, he doesn't. Oh, no. Wait, hold on. If I swap and I die, I have 40% armor. You know what it is. Let's go. Let's go. We're going to get a scorpion win. We're going to get the kill. Please survive, Mother of God. You've got 40% armor. You better survive. Yes, I think it's done it with the counter. Oh, please. Oh, it's when he swaps out. Oh, no. I thought it was a counter. It's horrible. That was literally 10 whole minutes of nothing, but heal, heal, attack, heal, heal, attack, heal, and couldn't do anything. So, sweet. Yay, all the scorpions. Oh, I should just put a deal on my team for the second rolls and just see, like, what can defeat deal? I'm actually genuinely curious now because deal seems a right pain in the arse. But, like, you have to be non-reduction to attack and then just be able to, I don't know. I don't even know. Like, it's just, it's horrible. Scared of it. Okay, so here we go. What's good? What's good here? We're a flock creature, right? So just increase my attack and then attack it because it can't do anything to me, really. And I've got no health, so it's not going to gain anything from me. So, yeah, a little bit of a disposed ferocious impact. Do I take damage down? I think, I think all scorpions do, don't they? Yeah, there's no reduction from that. That is crazy. And then we can... Oh, he's quicker now. Cool. Oh, does anything happen to him that's special when he swaps out? What should be Arcto? What should be, oh, Alberta Survey, sorry. What should be Alberta Survey you swaps into? If he swaps into Alberta Survey, I'll end the video right now. It'll just, it'll just end. Like, I won't even have an outro or anything. It'll just... I wouldn't have done it as well. Oh, come on, I'm good. That means why is everything good against me?  Oh, it's honestly, honestly. You've seen that one 5,800 cups, every, every freaking battle. It has just been like the perfect counter comes in and it's like, sweet, sweet. I wish there was like a, like a give up button. I love that because I would honestly just be like, oh sweet, you've got everything to count on me? Give up. Because that's what this game is. Because Flock's completely changed the way the game was, it's like, now you either have two things, you have something that's good against Flock's or something that'll do a lot of damage. Oh, sorry, a third one. Dio, which just basically heals over and over.  So I wonder if it's just like a meta thing, like a, like in Jarvis Speed, everyone has Dio, so they need to have a way to take on Dio. And I think it's just a way of like slowing it down and then having a card and then just killing it. It must be something like that. Anyway, here we are in this battle where there's no Dio yet. Just wait, there may be.  He might do. Oh no, of course he cleanses himself. Okay, so I'm glad I've done this one because I actually cleanse my own damage resistance. So, yes. Will this be a win? I don't know, will a Dio appear? Maybe. I threw the other game away to be fair.  So in comes this thing. It's probably gonna do its biggest hit. I don't have any way of regaining things. So, I think it's just gonna do a big hit. Oh yeah, there it is. I was expecting a crit there. I was expecting the crit somehow. The crit would have came through. Like that, like Indonemis is a good counter to this thing. Now, I wonder what he's gonna do here. I think he'll do the big hit and swap? He might do. Or he might just go for his regular hit. Either way, it's not good for me. Yeah, I think he's gonna go for it. I'll happily, you know what, you can have that. Because I genuinely, genuinely want to use this. I do want to see it work. I really, really do. I want it to be good. It's got like 2,000 health by the way.  We could go for that. We could go for that. Yeah, let's go for this one. Oh, oh, he's never faced up against it. Interesting, because everything I've got, he is quicker actually. 135 speed on this thing. Oh, didn't see that coming, did you? I just hope I can survive the next hit. Can I, can you slow him down at all? Oh, you can. Oh, I should have went for the slowing down first. Oh, that would have been it. That would have been perfect. Damn. Do we use the other scorpion to reset a little bit? I think so.  And then we'll see. We'll see. I should have went for that slowing down. Then, then, he would have been like stuck with either staying in and dying or swapping out and taking a bit of a damage. Yeah, I thought that was gonna come in yet. A bit of a damage. Okay, the antidote do some damage to him. Okay. Oh, the speed reduction. Here we go.  Oh, that's a bugger. If only I wasn't level 24. If only I was level 30. Wait, what? He's quicker? Oh, oops. I don't know. Is there anything I can do? But he's getting, you know what? He's getting out. Fair enough. That shows what level we're at, guys. We have a freaking Forex in here. Oh, my God. Wow. If this thing can't take on a Forex, I don't know what to do. Should I go for that? And then get a Heelys? I want some health. I was hoping that wasn't gonna happen. I was hoping he was just gonna go for his regular attack. Damn. Really was hoping for that. I've just been completely played again. I was hoping he would see. Like, if you faced me more often, you'd probably have gone for your daring strike and then gone for your cautious rampage. Because if I'd done that, I would be first now. But this thing, so I'm playing myself. And oh, my God. Oh, and it is a... Yay! It's an Olepex team. Okay. Like, six battles later. We are finally here. Oh, my God. Do we start off with Scorpion? I don't... I don't... I... No, no, no. We'll start out with this... The Croc... Oh, my God. What were the chances he was also gonna start out with his Crocodilian? And he's level 28. Oh. Oh, that's... Oh, that's not good for him. Would that... Would he be good against that Scorpion with that? I don't know. I just don't like to, you know, lose it straight away and go, right, okay, no more Scorpion. At least with the rest of the battle, there's a chance of, you know, finishing with him, winning. Because I don't think it has any way to regain health. Or maybe it does with the armor piercing one. But yeah, not so much. So if I was him, I would go for just the big hit now. Otherwise, you're just gonna get hit with a huge hit from me. And I've regained health. But what does he do? Okay, I don't know if that was a really good idea. He did lock me down though, which is interesting. So yeah, like I said, probably should just went for a regular hit. But hey-ho! He's locked me down. So I can't switch out now. So number two, it's a Mortimer X. Oh my God. It's immune, if I remember correctly, to speed reduction. So he does have his... Oh, oh no. Oh no. Oh, and then the bleed. The bleed's coming through. How much damage does he do? 3,100 with his roll. But then again, he is also quicker than my Scorpion. So with that in mind, I'll let him do this. He might die after it? I think he might die after it. Let's just see. Yeah, he doesn't. I was like, yeah, I'll let him finish himself. And here we go. Scorpion? Look at it. Oh, okay. I'm actually really bad against this, I think. Can I be... Well, I'm not going anywhere either. I'm stuck here. I think I might have died. The other Scorpion is very good against this. However, this Scorpion, not so much. And it's mainly due to the fact that it can't hit everything. And it does take attack reduction without any resistance. So I think he can just hit me with his normal hit. Yeah, 3,300 and just... Yeah. Well, there you go. Is the Scorpion good in the current meta? Not really. I've got to be honest. And unless he's got something good here... Yeah, he's lost. We'll see. He's probably going to swap out because he knows... Well, he just knows his boss. But I mean, there you go. Really, we've seen the Scorpions not really good against a lot of things. I really said it's current level. But I hope I showcased some of it to you. I do hope it has been an hour and a half of me battling and... Hey, we got up like 30 cups, so it's not all bad. But if you join this video, I will continue on. Guys who watch this on groups and like, discord and stuff like that. Feel free to let me know, or even in the comments down below, let me know strategies to use for the Scorpion, stat boosts or what to put on it.  I hope I've entertained you somewhat. It has been an aimer. Well, there we go. If you enjoyed the video, leave a like. Until next time, I'll see you kitties later. Oh, buh-bye.


Good afternoon. I'd like to call the December 19th, 2022 Housing Authority special meeting to order. Due to the provisions of the Governor's Executive Orders, N2520 and N2920, which suspend certain requirements of the Brown Act, the Housing Authority commissioners will be conducting today's meeting in a virtual setting using Zoom webinar.

Good afternoon, chair Tess and members of the housing authority. You'll see attached to the agenda is our monthly pipeline update. So I'm happy to update. The first is that orchard commons, which is a 45-unit development on Boyd Street, is in the process of leasing up. So shortly we'll have 45 additional units targeted to low and very low income households. Working with those developers to close it, and then as noted by their status, these projects have a legal counsel. Everyone has really worked incredibly hard to. Do we have any questions from commissioners? I totally agree. Thank you so much for yourself and all the staff at the housing authority because all of the work that you have done to push these projects through and really appreciate the good work on staff's behalf. Thank you. Hey, right now we are now taking public comments on item 10.1. If you wish to make a comment via Zoom, please raise your hand. If you're dialing in via telephone, please dial star nine to raise your hand. You will have three minutes. Chair Tess, I see no hands raised at this time. Thank you. No consent items on this agenda. Item number 12. Item number 12 is a report item. I'm going to do my best to get through this presentation coughing as few times as possible. I will try to mute my mic if that happens. So we could go to the, there we go, first of the slides. So we can go ahead and move on to the next slide, things. This proposed project is located on Bennett Valley Road. It's at the corner of Rutledge Avenue and Bennett Valley. It is a city-owned site comprised of four parcels that was formerly used for the Bennett Valley to be surplus. And on the screen, you have the four addresses. Those are the four parcels that make up this site. Next slide, please. And here's the overhead so you can see where the project is located. Right there, you see Highway 12 at the top of the screen. And those four parcels highlighted in proposals. And in September of 2019, the council selected the proposal submitted by Freebird Development Company and Allied Housing for the Bennett Valley Apartments. Next slide, please. All right, a little bit about the project. I know you guys have seen it before. It is a proposed project that includes 62 units with over half targeted to formerly homeless individuals as permanent supportive housing units. Permanent supportive housing is a term that is used for the units that are dedicated to formerly homeless individuals and families. They receive additional supportive services to help them maintain their housing and successfully transition into being housed. So the term permanent supportive housing really relates to receive in those units. On the pipeline that you saw earlier and later on in this presentation, we also referenced 30 project-based vouchers in this project. So project-based vouchers are a financing tool. It's the Section 8 financing contribution to the project to commit 30 of the units to having vouchers assigned to those units and receiving that supplemental subsidy, rental income for a 20-year term. For the Bennett Valley Apartments, the 30 committed project-based vouchers will be assigned to the permanent supportive housing units, but that's not a requirement of either the project-based vouchers or the permits 20% of area median income, 29 units at 50% of area median income, and then one unrestricted manager's unit. There will be 19 studios, 19 one-bedroom units, 9 two-bedroom units, and 15 three-bedroom units. All right, next slide please. All right, so the City Council of 2021, the Disposition and Development, sorry, Agreement identifies the price in terms of the sale, including the provisions that the developer must have received funding commitments for the full development cost prior to the sale of the site to the property. So the City has agreed to a sale price of $1 to invest the site fuel into the project to make it successful for affordable housing. The developer so far has secured several funding commitments and anticipates being fully funded and purchasing the property in April of 2023, so coming up in a few months here. Next slide please. The Housing Authority has also invested in this project. You have an approved $5.8 million in loan funds and 30 project-based vouchers to the project so far. The project program, we also refer to that as MHP, Housing for a Healthy California Program, and they recently received a recommendation of tax credits and bonds from TCAC, so the project is nearly completely funded at this point. Next slide please. So these are two photos of what the site looks like now. In October, there was a fire that occurred at the site and damaged the structures, resulting in the City red-tagging the site because it's unsafe to inhabit at this point. As you can see in these recent photos, the structures are now boarded up and fenced. There's damage structures. These are all taken from ability to maintain. The City obtained bids on the cost to demolish the site and coming in at about $272,000. Now this bid contains a contingency and might be further reduced if there are any insurance proceeds that can cover this property. The amount is up to $272,000 for a reduction because it will likely be a little bit less. In a project anyway by agreeing to the $1 purchase price, the developers agreed to a reduction to the $5.8 million Housing Authority Award in the amount of up to $272,000 to cover rather than waiting until they purchased the site. The developer wouldn't be rich, is anticipated in April. The developer, the City and the neighborhood have all expressed desire to have the structures demolished as soon as possible now that the fires occurred. How this would work? Of the $5.8 million loan award from the Housing Authority, this item may be familiar to you because we've come back a couple of times. We ended up splitting the award into two parts. So there's a $2 million pre-development loan and a $3.8 million construction-related loan. We have already underwritten and move forward with dispersing funds for the $2 million pre-development portion of the loan. And what remains encumbered in the Housing Authority budget, loan documents have not been drawn up to loan that yet and the developer did not have access to those funds. Those funds cannot be accessed by them until we have completed the loan documents and everything's finalized and they've purchased the property from the city and we've recorded everything against the site under the developer's name. So if the Housing Authority approves the request and allows up to $272,000 to be reduced from the Housing Authority award, it would bring the total amount of the award and the encumbrance in the Housing Authority's budget down from the $5.8 million amount to the $5,528,000. That would allow up to $272,000 to be used for the demolition costs. The demolition costs, like I said, might end up being less than the $200,000. There's a little bit of leeway there while those numbers are still becoming less flexible. So similarly, if the reduction is approved but circumstances outside of our control cause the demolition to not take place before the developer purchased the property in April, we wouldn't reduce the award at all and the developer would end up paying to have the structures demolished after they purchased the site in April. Next slide please. All other loan terms would remain unchanged. The term of affordability is still 55 years. The full amount of the award would be secured against the property by a deed of trust once the developer purchases the property and we execute the loan documents. Benefit of demolishing the structures on the site now means that when the developer does purchase the site in April they will be able to move more quickly to begin the recommendation. The city owns and is responsible for the site until it sold to the developer. That's estimated to happen in April. The fire in October significantly damaged the structures making it unsafe and there's a desire from the developer, the city and the neighbors to demolish the structures as soon as possible. Demolition was a cost that the developer was going to incur regardless so they agreed to reduce the loan award from the housing authority by the cost to demolish the structures so that the city can use those funds. All right, last slide please. So with that it is the recommended date is recommended by the housing authority I'm sorry it is recommended by the Housing and Community Services Department that the housing authority by resolution approve a reduction up to $272,000 to a prior conditional commitment of loan funds in the amount of $5.8 million to free for development prior to developer acquisition. So I'm happy to answer any questions from the housing authority. Vice Chair Owen. Yeah so I went through the background on this before so the city owns the property. Yes. It the fire happened while the city owned it. I'm assuming the city has insurance on the property so it's been I assume and I'm making a lot of assumptions. The there's been a claim made on the on the insurance proceeds. Yes so our real estate manager is working with the insurance and risk management. How does the waiting for that payout from insurance fall into the calendar of next spring them taking title and the property actually being demolished. So we would have an award fly so it's it is a matter of very tight time frame over the next couple months to have these all all these dominoes fall into place. And then if I go back to what we looked at before which is the project pipeline this property and is in the category of waiting additional funding or permits you know the property is not fully funded. They're 40 million dollar budgets not fully funded. Is that correct. That's correct. They are waiting on about 1.5 to 2 million dollars. There's a current infill infrastructure grant application to HCD that this city applied for free bird and the bed of valley apartments was one of the projects in the qualified infill area the QIA for that project. So we are waiting on the timeline to hear back from HCD for that last million and a half to million dollars. The rest of the project is fully funded. Is our closing on the transfer contingent upon them being fully funded. Yes they must be fully funded before the sale happens. Commissioner will. Cause of the fire was. I don't have that in front of me right now. Megan do we have that. Oh actually I've seen Jason turned on his camera. Jason not the assistant city manager. Commissures the fire we believe was started by homeless activity that had gone into the building. We've worked hard since closure the structure to harden and keep those types of illicit behaviors out. But it's been it's been a struggle. We've had small fires on the roof in the past. This particular one occurred inside. So if it disappointed it Nicole if I could if I could just also respond to your own comments previously. We have talked with our insurance. It is through the joint powers authority. We do have a $250,000 deductible. And so that's predominantly why this ask is to cover the first $250,000. Thank you for that information. Commissioner Burr. Thank you. I chair test. So in the development budget from free bird. So the development budget that was originally submitted to us when they applied for and were awarded the $5.8 million is they had actually anticipated a higher amount. So by the city reducing savings to the project. So it would leave a balance of some amount in the you know this resolution before us this action. Yes. The developer came to us with this proposal. Okay. And then in terms of the demolition and thanks Jason for the explanation about the coverage and that was kind of some questions that I have in my mind too. The so covered in this estimate that you have from the contractors. Yes. Commissioner I do believe those contingencies were put in place given the age of the building and what we know about it from our facilities maintenance team members who have been working on it for the last several years. Thank you. Thank you. Let's share on. So if I understand correctly Jason saying that the cities of policies $250,000 deductible looking at $272 is about make simple math $22,000 that could come from insurance. And if this is a $272,000 reduction and alone I don't know what category that came from when we were putting it allocating these funds if it was CDBG fund pays for it. It's the housing authority have to reimburse the city in any fashion because I don't think you can do that with maybe Megan. This is a question for you as to does this does the housing authority source of this 200 this portion of the fire while owning any of the property. So the funding source for this project is local funds. So we don't have to worry about the various layers that federal funding would impose on this project. It is anticipated if this is approved today that the housing authority funding would be applied to the payment. So we would pay the city's vendor for demolition. So there's not as cost savings to the housing authority is just going to the city versus versus the developer for the demolition. Well, yes, the project will realize cost savings as Nicole indicated with the reduced demolition costs. How does this translate into a change in the purchase and sale agreement because I we didn't see that but I would anticipate it would be a sale of the property as is where is with all faults. But now the city is going to have to deliver a property that's cleaned. Are there toxic reports the city has to provide? How does that work in terms of any additional liability? Jason, are you able to answer that Jill's absence? You know, Commissioner, I don't know if I can answer it in a come, you know, as comprehensive as I would like this afternoon. We are still selling the property in an as is condition given the fact that we have to remove it is to some extent incumbent on the city to try to at least provide the property in the condition that they originally intended to purchase it. It's mutually beneficial for us to go and raise the entire structure. It benefits both the city and the and free bird as the developer. So that's that's why we're we're supportive of the action. Okay, thank you. Are there any other comments or questions from commissioners? Seeing none. We are now taking public comments on item 12.1. If you wish to make a comment via zoom please raise your hand. If you were dialing in via telephone please dial star nine to raise your hand. You will have three minutes. Chair test, we have Robin Zimler who has her hand up. So I'm going to move forward with her public comment. Thank you. Hi, can everyone hear me? Yes. Okay, great. I'm Robin. I'm the founder and manager of free bird develop development. So I just wanted to address some of the questions that came up and answer them from from my perspective. Number one, yes, we're super supportive of this. It was kind of our idea to take the money from our loan so that we could get this done sooner rather than later, given the recent fire and the neighborhood support for for taking the the building down as soon as possible. So very supportive. With respect to the hazmat abatement we had done hazmat testing in both the senior building and the ancillary building. So we know what led in asbestos are out there. We forwarded it to the city who forwarded it to the demo contractor. So all of that abatement, my understanding is included in the addition. Does it create additional liability for after the demo to do additional just some additional environmental testing so that we know what we're dealing with. But I talked to my environmental first inch or foot of topsoil will have to be disposed of in a different way than the rest of the soil. But we don't expect this fire or the demo to contaminate any soil deep underneath. So it won't be a financing came up. So as Nicole mentioned, we do have a pending application with the city for IIG funds. That award was initially supposed to be made. But we're like we're so high up on the scoring list that we definitely think we're getting those funds and we are proceeding as if we're getting those funds towards an April closing because we want to get the construction started as soon as possible. So I think that covers the questions that came up. But yeah, that's it for me. Thank you, Robin. Sheriff, would any of the Housing Authority commissioners like to make a motion regarding this resolution 12.1? I will move to approve the resolution of the Housing Authority of the city of Santa Rosa, approving a reduction of up to $272,000 to a prior conditional commitment of loan funds in the amount of $5.8 million to Free Bird Development Company LLC for the Benton Valley Apartments Project to allow funds to be utilized for demolition of the site prior developer acquisition and waive the reading of the text. I would second that motion. Okay, we'll proceed with a vote on the resolution. We'll begin with the mover, Vice Chair Owen, and the second chair test. And Commissioner Rawhouser? Aye. Commissioner McWhorter? Commissioner LePenna? Aye. Commissioner Burke? Aye. Okay, that motion passes. Thank you. Last item on our agenda is the adjournment, and I want to wish everybody happy holidays, and we'll see you next year. Happy holidays. Thank you. Thank you. Happy holidays. Thank you. Bye, everybody.


Let's say that you want to get the subtitles or captions of your own videos on YouTube. Maybe you want to turn them into an article and you need to copy them and edit them in a document. Well, how do you do that? Go to your own YouTube video and I'm assuming that you have given at least 30 minutes for YouTube to process your uploaded video. Sometimes it may even take one or two days before they process it long enough to have the captions and subtitles available. But assuming that you've given it enough time, go to your YouTube video, scroll down, click on edit video and then on the left hand side look for the subtitles icon. So it looks like that. Click on the subtitles icon and then you will notice that on the right hand side, well, first of all, it often already has the subtitles if you have selected your channel to have a default language. So for example, mine is English. So therefore the English subtitles are automatically created by YouTube. But if you want to get the subtitles so you can put it in a document, you need to click on duplicate and edit. So go ahead and do that and then click continue. This will overwrite your existing English draft. It's okay. Click continue. And then here it is. You can simply either put your mouse cursor so that it's now blinking as you can see here and then do control A on your keyboard or if you're on a Mac, it's command A to select it all and then control C to copy or on a Mac, it's command C. And then you can open a new browser tab and go to, for example, a Google document. So I'm going to just type in doc.new to open a new Google document in my private Google drive. And then you simply paste by doing command V or Victor on a Mac or control V on a Windows. So I've pasted it and there it is. This is my entire video's captions or subtitles pasted into a document. Of course, it doesn't have the punctuation and the paragraphs. So you have to add that in as you are editing this document. But that's how you get the subtitles. The other way of doing it is to click on the three dots up here and then click download subtitles. And what it will do is put, as you can see here, a text document, which if I double click and open for you, it's basically the exact same thing. It's just one long block, just like I've shown you here. This is also one long block. Yes, it is. So it's the same exact thing, two different methods of getting the captions or subtitles. So I hope this helps. You don't even have to publish this. You can simply close this and discard changes if you want to keep the automatic YouTube version. But if you wanted to edit that, that's another tutorial. But I hope this helps to help you get the captions or subtitles for your YouTube video.


Karachi is changing very rapidly even the lower income settlements are changing because they are densifying. From single story individual houses they are becoming high rise apartments mostly built through informal means, informal funds and this is completely changing the lower income areas especially those that are nearer to the city and this has very strong implications for planning, for social relations, for job generation, for the younger generation especially because it will grow up in a much more dense and unfriendly environment than before. So this film is about how this change is taking place. It also deals a little bit with the origins of squatter settlements which you call Karachi Abadi's and how the sprawl of the city consumed the rural areas and destroyed the ecology. So all these things come together in this film. It also touches on transport issues, sees how modes of transportation are being affected by increased cost of land, increased distances to travel. So this new world that is emerging is captured in this film.
