Well good evening, everyone. Welcome to our meeting of what day to day, November 25th of 2024. I'd like to ask our city clerk to call the roll, please. Councilmember Aguirre. Here. Councilmember Aiken. Here. Councilmember Howard. Here. Councilmember Martinez Sabayo should be joining us shortly. Councilmember Sturkin. Here. Vice Mayor Espinoza Garnica. Here. And Mayor G. Present. Thank you. Thank you. We are continuing to offer in-person and remote options for our city council meetings. However, due to continued disruptions during public comment at open meetings throughout our region, we've modified our public comment procedures until further notice. The city welcomes public comment on topics within the city's subject matter jurisdiction, and this can be provided in person during the meeting or by email ahead of the meeting. At this time, we are temporarily suspending public comments by Zoom. We want to ensure that the city can continue to conduct the city's business in a manner that allows all residents to participate. We continue to re-evaluate our public comment procedures and will share updates as necessary. Comments that were received via email by five o'clock PM may be read aloud, time permitting, and in any case will be part of the final meeting record. In-person speakers must turn in a speaker card to the city clerk at the Diaz to be recognized to speak. Please be sure to indicate the agenda item number you wish to speak on. In-person speakers will be called in the order in which speaker cards were turned in. If there is a high volume of public comment this evening, we may decrease the time allotted for each comment or limit the total time for public comment. This is to ensure the city council can address agenda items in a timely manner and is allowed under the City Council's Guide to Communications and Business.org so that we can see your comments and they will be part of the meeting record. Lastly, I'd like to let everyone know that Spanish interpretation is available during tonight's meeting through item 7A. If you'd like to receive a and a listening device, please see the staff in the back of the room. Thank you. Matters of council interest and items not on the agenda. Two minutes each, please. Okay. Orange brink blinking light means you've got 30 seconds, and red light with the beat means your time is up. Welcome to the name's Jose Reyes. I'm nervous. I'm here because of an injustice that was done to me. I was tie wrapped in beat. Hog tied. I was tie wrapped in beat, hog tide, and for four and a half years I've been trying to bring it to the light. I've wrote to Christina Corpus. I've wrote to the grievance thing. I've done this is a calendar of all the things I wrote. I wrote to letters to the judge. I've wrote to the DA. This is to the magistrate. This is to anyway, long story short.
