Thank you.

We'll have a quorum.

I would like to remind members of the public in chambers that if you would like to speak on an agenda item, please turn in a speaker slip when the item begins.

You will have two minutes to speak once you are called on.

After the first speaker, we will no longer accept speaker slips.

We will now proceed with today's agenda.

Please rise for the opening acknowledgments in honor of Sacramento's Indigenous people and tribal lands.

To the original people of this land, the niece and on people, the southern Maidu, Valley and Plains, Mewak, Patwyn and Windon peoples, and the people of the Wilton Rancharia, Sacramento's only federally recognized tribe.

May we acknowledge and honor the Native people who came before us and still walk beside us today on these ancestral lands by choosing to gather together today in the act of practice of acknowledgement and appreciation for Sacramento's Indigenous people's history, contributions and lives.

Thank you.

Please remain standing for the pledge of allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God in the visible with the Indigenous people.

The first business today is the Commission staff report. Staff you may proceed.

Thank you, Chair Hodele, Jennifer Donlon-Miant, Transportation Planning Manager, and it's good to be here with you this evening.

I have only a few items for you tonight to update.

The first is I'd like to introduce you to our new Civic Spark Fellow, Graham Dillion, Graham's there in the audience.

She started with us a couple of weeks ago. You might have remembered Dylan Samden, who was our fellow last year.

Graham is our fellow this year, and Graham is just getting started in the process of working with us in the city.

This is a program of service.

So in addition to helping us do a lot of work, she'll also be doing some community service.

Graham's workload will include, we're still working through that, but community engagement and by parking and maybe some education.

So I wanted to welcome Graham to our team. We're so happy to have her.

We also have a new commissioner who's not here. Jose Gourous.

And so I was planning on introducing him, having him introduce himself at this point, but he was appointed by Councilman Ravang,

nominated by Councilman Ravang, and then appointed by the full city council.

So when he joins us, we'll show him do a little introduction about himself.

And then last but not least, we have two vacant positions on commission.

We don't get our newsletter, because you would have seen it in our newsletter.

Please sign up for our newsletter, but our newsletter, but we have two vacant seats, and I encourage you all as commissioners and members of the audience to encourage folks to sign up for the vacant seats.

The two vacant seats are one, a professional with experience in transportation planning or transportation engineering.

It is a city-wide position, so that process goes through the PMP Committee of City Council and then to full council for appointment.

And the next position is a new position, a youth seat that has been added to our commission.

So for a youth position, the person should be between, hold on, and pull it up just to be sure.

At least 16 years old and not older than 22 at the time of appointment.
