Resident Voices Concerns on Flock System Software and Local Nuisance Issues
During public input, Leslie, a resident, reiterated her opposition to the 'Flock system' software being used in Tustin. She distributed packets containing findings, articles, and responses from other cities and states regarding the system. She committed to updating this information in the coming months. Another speaker, Guerra, discussed issues related to a facility with multiple houses and clients who allegedly smoke marijuana and use drugs, creating a nuisance and safety concern. Guerra questioned the police department's enforcement of laws regarding marijuana and drug sales, highlighting that these are crimes. Guerra also pointed out code enforcement issues, specifically a two-year-old gopher infestation affecting the community and potentially damaging city infrastructure like street lights. Guerra requested that these issues be taken seriously, emphasizing that they represent nuisance behaviors that the city can address through fines and legal action.
Resident Raises Concerns About Animal Euthanasia Transparency and Practices at Tustin Animal Care
During public input, a resident, Luis Anderson, raised concerns about the Tustin Animal Care (OAK) facility, citing the case of a three-year-old dog named Hermes who was reportedly found in an abusive situation and later euthanized after less than three weeks in the shelter. Anderson questioned the discrepancy in reported dog intake and outcome statistics (172 dogs unaccounted for) and emphasized the need for transparency in euthanasia decisions. The speaker also questioned why Hermes, who displayed fear rather than aggression and showed an ability to interact gently, was not given more time or rehabilitation. Concerns were raised about the facility's practices, the distinction between traumatized and dangerous dogs, and the need for meaningful review of shelter practices. Another dog, Butterscotch, was mentioned as potentially facing a similar outcome despite positive interactions with a foster family. The speaker advocated for better behavioral support, rehabilitation, and rescue outreach.

The proclamation also noted the school's competitive success, including eight U.S. Olympians, its active support for water safety awareness through community events, and its recognition as Tustin Small Business of the Year. The council acknowledged the lasting impact Blue Boy Swim School has made on the Tustin community.

Tustin Adopts 2025 Water Management and Shortage Contingency Plans
The City Council adopted the 2025 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) and the 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). The UWMP evaluates the city's water reliability for the next 25 years, integrating supply portfolios, demand projections, and reliability assessments. The WSCP provides a structured guide for responding to water shortages, including six standard shortage levels and response actions. The plans were prepared in coordination with regional agencies and met all state requirements, with submission to the Department of Water Resources (DWR) on track for the July 1st deadline. The assessment indicated that the city's supply capabilities are sufficient for a five-year drought and that groundwater supply will meet a significant portion of demand over the next 25 years. Council members inquired about contaminants, future regulations, and the plan's consistency with previous reports, receiving assurances of stability and sufficient supply. Mayor Pro Tem Schnell also raised concerns about water availability during fire emergencies and the adequacy of water fund reserves for such events.
Tustin Enters Exclusive Negotiating Agreement for 52-Acre Tustin Legacy Site

Councilmember Chanel encouraged staff to work quickly to finalize the agreement within the initial 24-month period, expressing a preference against extensions unless dramatic circumstances arise. The motion to approve the ENA passed.
