All right, thank you. Good evening and welcome to our Sacramento City Council meeting.

I call this order at 504PM.

Madam City Clerk, will you please call the roll.

Thank you. Councilmember Kaplan. Councilmember Tao.

Mayor Pro Tem Telemontes. Councilmember Valenzuela.

We expect Councilmember Gata momentarily. Councilmember Jennings. Councilmember Vang.

Mayor Steinberg will be absent. And vice mayor of my firm Meple.

I am here. Councilmember Tao, would you please lead us in the land acknowledgement and the

due diligence?

Tribal lands. To the original people of this land, the Nisanan people, the southern Maidu,

Valley and Plains Mewak put win-win to people. And the people of Winta, Wotan, Rathuria,

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 today in the active practice of acknowledgement and appreciation for

Sacramento's indigenous peoples history, contribution and lives. Thank you. Please remain standing

for the pleasure of allegiance.

The allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which

it stands, one nation under God and the visible with liberty and justice for all.

All right. Thank you very much. And we're going to start with a very special presentation today,

which is from myself and Councilmember Gera. He is on his way. So I'll get it. I'll

kick us off and if he's able to join us in the interim, then he will. If not, he sends

his regrets that he was unable to be here to do this. But I'm really excited about this

program. Today, there was a, it's the St. Mary's College, new education for women leadership

program. And I had the opportunity along with a couple of other really incredible women

to do a panel discussion for the students today in Midtown. And it was a very, it was

very special. It was great to hear from the students and to get their perspective and

also hear from a couple of other really wonderful women. So I wanted to start out that way.

So while programs like this exist on the East Coast, this is actually the first and only

program of its kind on the West Coast. It's incredibly important that these current and

future leaders have an opportunity to get directly involved in politics and government.

And I see that them trickling in now. Welcome. And public service. So it was just, it was

just an honor to be able to, to talk with them and hear their, their ideas and see and

talk about their interest in public service and government. So I joined them for an open

discussion, about running, discussion about running for office. And why it's important

to have women in leadership. And I'm incredibly inspired by these incredibly thoughtful and

capable women that are filing in right now. And I also brought this up during the discussion,

but I want to say it here too whenever I can. The first woman ever elected to the City Council

in California was right here in Sacramento, as many of you know. Move all of Johnson was

elected in 1912 here at this very city. And we've continued to break barriers by electing

a female majority city council in 2022. And as I often say, it's only the second time

ever. And the first time is before I was born. So, that 2022 was a special year and I have

to say it's an incredible honor to serve alongside the women majority on this council, as well

as all of my colleagues. So I am thrilled. I know that you're filing in. So I hate to put

you on the spot so soon, but thrilled to welcome one of the co-directors, Professor Maria

Luisa Ruiz. Please come to the podium and you can share a little bit more about the program and

take your time. I know that you guys are filing in. Welcome.

Take your time, Naurosh.

I feel like I'm lecturing in one of my classrooms. Good afternoon, everyone.

My name is Maria Luisa Ruiz. She hears your AGA pronouns. I'm a full professor at St.

Mary's College of California and Maraga. I am one of the faculty coordinators for the inaugural

New Leadership Institute at St. Mary's College in California. The first ever program held in the

state of California. New Leadership at St. Mary's, sponsored by the Women and Gender Studies program,

is meant to teach undergraduate women how to become actively involved in politics,

advocacy, and public service. This inaugural cohort brings together students from colleges

all across the state of California. This program has been more than three years in a making.

It is truly inspiring to see the amazing group of students sitting behind me today in this room

learning about multiple pathways to political engagement. On behalf of the participants,

my colleagues and St. Mary's College, we want to thank so many of you, especially Vice Mayor

Katie Maple for this invitation and all the members of the Sacramento City Council for welcoming

us this afternoon. This recognition is incredible as we get this program off the ground.

We hope to be here again next year. Thank you. Thank you so much. And really, really thrilled to see

you all. It was wonderful talking with you today and looking forward to see what you do in the

future, which I'm sure you'll be doing great things, including maybe sitting up at a

dius just like this in your communities. So I'd like to invite you up so we can take a picture

in the front here. So feel free to file in. And my colleagues, I'd love you to join me, all of you.

Come join us.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Awesome.

Looking forward to having you here.

I'm going to show you guys.

Yes.

Okay, get in.

Do you want to get in the picture I can take a photo?

Yeah, but, are you sure?

Okay.

Say women and leaders should know.

Oh my goodness.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

To start the meeting.

Thank you so much for indulging me colleagues.

And also, again, want to say for Councillor McGarae,

I wish he could make it here in time, but he's second traffic,

but very much also from him.

Okay, so now colleagues, we move on to the consent calendar.

Any items pulled for comments, questions, or separate vote?

Okay, I see Councillor Cappellan.

Thank you, Vice Mayor.

Just brief comments on 15 and 17.

And then items 23 and 25.

I'd like to pull for a separate direction and motion.

But if all of us agree, I guess it could go on consent when I bring it up.

Okay, perfect.

All right.

Mayor Pro Temtolmontez.

Thank you.

I need to abstain from item number 16.

Just kind of been of caution because it's near my house.

Okay, noting an exception from Mayor Pro Temtolmontez and item 16.

Any other items for discussion vote?

All right.

Starting first with Councillor Cappellan, item 15 and 17.

Thank you.

On item 15, which is our reduced residential development impact fees,

I just want to thank our city staff for being innovative and understanding.

We have a limited amount of funds and how do we make sure that projects understand

they are getting those funding, especially when they are for affordable dwelling units

because a certain amount of predictability is needed.

I just want to, if we can put a pin in it and come back next year at this time to see how

did this work and do we need to make any other changes to allow that flexibility.

Specifically, some of my concerns are we know costs are increasing and are there

extraordinary circumstances where somebody should get more than the $10,000 per unit cap.

So just be thoughtful in that as you always are but would love to hear feedback

as you guys have come up with a good idea.

How can we make it equitable and is it working how the way we wanted it to?

And then on item 17, I'm just calling out while we have our insurance broker

and they've been with the city for 20 plus years and are great.

So we had a 26% increase in contract costs in last year.

So something to be mindful and it's a little bit of out that costs are increasing

and that's part of our issues in the city.

And then on consent items 23, so you want those for separate?

Well, can I bring it up? And then if we need separate, I'm open to it.

I'm going to go ahead.

On 23, 24 and 25, which specifically relate to removal of commission members for lack of attendance,

this has been a conversation that we are currently having at PMPE.

And what I'd like to do is remove these from consent and give direction to our clerk

while we are discussing amendments to make clarity that we bring no more removals for lack of attendance

because some of it is excused, what's excused, what's unexcused, timing, schedule.

I hate the, they have to resign then we reappoint until we clarify.

I would love to just pause because this is an ongoing conversation.

Legitimate we just had what a week ago? Two weeks ago?

A week ago. A week ago that I would love for us to finish it instead of doing this

and make our commissioners feel awful, especially when some of them do have legitimate scheduling reasons.

And Madam Clerk is this okay? Do you need any other clear direction?

I think that direction is very clear, so we're going to remove those three items from this agenda.

We're going to postpone and I will not bring any removal reports forward.

And so we will ignore that portion of the city code chapter 2.40 in regards to attendance until the council has opined on it.

Okay, Councillor McHopman, do you want to make a motion?

Then I will make a motion with that action on items 23, 24 and 25.

And then noting, and noting abstention on item 16.

So we have a motion?

And we have a second, Madam Clerk.

And council member Jennings has a.

No, I, I, I, I, um, I, I, um, I, yeah, we're not voting it.

Just want to know. No, no, I, I, I, um, I pushed up in order to second the motion

so I'll allow the second to stay the same. That's fine.

But I, I do want to support the motion because I believe it's very important that we get consistency in this matter

so that we can then treat everybody the exact same way and that there's no inconsistency and that we as a council then know what and commissioners know what the standards are

and they can then abide by them accordingly if they can.

It's a great point. And I also agree on that front. I know this got brought up at PMPE.

But I think, you know, I know that the clerk is doing a wonderful job and it's based on what's actually in the code.

So I think it's incumbent upon us as policymakers to revisit that and see if there's something that makes a little bit more sense.

So I do support that.

Okay, Madam City Clerk, do we have any public comments on the consent calendar?

I have one speaker on item Stephen Barrasa on item 12.

So this item for parking says these changes will help to regulate parking demand, promote turnover of parking spaces, alleviate congestion and incentivize the adoption of alternative transportation methods.

Now we know this is a bunch of Marlarky. You're looking for ways to backfill the budget deficit, looming budget deficit.

So why not be honest with the taxpayers? Now we flash back in history. Parking used to be free.

That's because the taxpayers already paid for all the streets, sidewalks, streetlights. We paid for everything.

So they came up with this idea of creating parking revenue that would only be used for parking enforcement.

And the reason for that was for businesses so you could have turnover of cars and such, just like this item is stating here.

And so it would be for parking meter, meter maids and the administration of parking enforcement.

We'll flash forward to the Golden One Center and the city signed off on a big multi-million dollar bond and they changed the rules and they said, well now we'll use the parking revenue for the general fund.

And it'll go to help pay for that bond. But now the cookie jar is open and so now we're seeing and what happened.

The time went from six o'clock, meter rates to 10 o'clock. It started in the downtown core and expanded all the way to Alhambra.

And now we're here we are today. We're going to charge on Sundays and holidays. It's endless. You still have a 24 hour day and a seven day week to tax us.

So you see the taxpayer where you're turning them upside down and shaking out every last coin. So what you can generate a million dollars is what you anticipate.

But did you take to account the businesses, the business loss where people in the suburbs, they can park for free out there.

So you're going to take to account the loss of business tax revenue versus what you're going to gain from this unscrupulous item.

So please reject that. Thank you.

Vice mayor, I have no more speakers.

All right. So for the motion in a second, all those in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

All right. Any opposed, absention? All right. That passes unanimously.

Now we move on to our public hearing item number 26. Oh, I think there might be a comment to move this. Is that right?

Councilmember Cha? Okay. Councilmember Cha?

Make a motion for item 26 to be continued to July 30.

Did you like 30? I'll second. We have a second. All right. All those in favor, please say aye.

Aye. Any opposed, absention? All right. That passes unanimously.

So we will continue item 26 to July 30. Moving on to item number 27, vacation of the public utility easement at 2816 D street. Welcome.

Good to see you again.

Good evening, Madam Clerk, and this thing was council members. My name is Thomas Adams and I'm with the engineering service division and the Department of Public Works.

The item before you is a request to vacate a public utility easement located at 2816 D street for the purposes of approving a for their approved seven lot of residential housing development.

The public utility easement curling encroaches over several lots that are intended for future housing and is not needed to facilitate in the for any of the utility services.

With this request, however, AT&T does require future easement dedication be conditioned with this vacation request for utility service and access for this location has not been determined at this time.

City staff along with a very city agencies support this vacation request along with along with AT&T's conditions are dedicated new easement.

As called out in the attached resolution of this report, the actor recommended with this request is consistent with the 2040 general plan and is in compliance with the California streets and highways code.

Staff will be happy to answer any questions that you may have at this time. That concludes my presentation.

Thank you. Madam City clerk, do we have any public comments on this item? I have no speakers on this item.

Seeing none, let's move over to the council member for the district councilor Vanzbela. Thank you for your presentation. This is a really underutilized parcel in my opinion right now.

So I'm excited to see this project moving forward and happy to open and close the public hearing and move this item.

Any motion? And a second by council member Kaplan. All those in favor, please say aye.

Aye. He imposed a steam passes unanimously. Thank you so much.

And we move on to item 28 and ordinance amending section 15.148.920 and other sections related to planning and development. Welcome.

Good evening, council. Kevin Collins, my name and the zoning administrator for your fair city. I'll be giving the presentation this evening.

Thank you. I'm going to move on to item 28 and the committee.

We'll just briefly touch on what is an omnibus. It's kind of a fun word. The amendments that are proposed, the reuse steps to date and our recommendation.

I think of this as the fun alternative to miscellaneous. What is an omnibus bill? This ordinance covers a variety of topics in Latin. This is two four by with or from everything.

And there are many titles of code that are amended by this ordinance. They all have or pertained to planning and development issues.

What is included in the ordinance in very broad terms or three topics covered first of which for state law consistency. Where our code is silent or contrary to state law, we have proposed amendments to make our code be in harmony with the state law.

This is housing legislation from the 2022 legislative cycle. Streamlining our provisions that exist in code today. This is existing policy where either the staff or our customers have informed our application of that policy in the regulatory sense.

We have identified ways to improve that policy. We do have amendments that touch on various titles, some of which come from the Law and Legislation Committee to clean up a policy about digital signage for large entertainment venues, perfecting our fencing and regulations, for example.

We are not really not very exciting. There's a typo. We do find humans are capable of errors. We are cleaning those up as we find them.

We have been to date. We have been to a number of meetings required by code. This is amendments title 17. So we have been at the planning and design commission in April. Received a unanimous approval recommendation from the commission subsequently to the law and legislation committee on May 21st of this year.

We have presented the ordinance included some changes. Again, approval recommendation. More recently, we are at a pass for publication before you. We are the contents of the ordinance. As supplemented at that point in time, we are presented for public notice.

We are here today for the hearing. Our recommendation is that you pass a motion determining the ordinance exempt from CEQA, the California Environmental Quality Act, and that you adopt the ordinance making those amendments. We are happy to answer any questions you have.

Excellent. Thank you for your presentation. Madam City clerk, do we have any public comment on this item? I have one speaker on this item. Tiffany Clark.

It's Clark. Welcome.

Good evening. Vice Mayor Maple, council members and staff. Sacramento Attorney Tiffany Clark here, urging a yes vote on this ordinance.

My family and I are so grateful for council and staff tackling three of the four home occupation code sections that have so vexed our family over the years and have discouraged countless very perfectly benign indesernable home office and studio businesses from getting started.

I'm also grateful. We're also grateful for the interpretive clarification offered for the fourth code section and the commitment of the city to integrate a version of that clarification into the code language itself as soon as possible.

While we do wish that could have happened by tonight. And there is another amendment included proposed home occupation code section amendment included in tonight's ordinance that is of some concern.

It carries on the tradition of completely banning certain home occupations, even though they could be operated in a benign fashion, rather than just focusing on regulating externalities.

Even though those two things were the case, we would not want to see the perfect be the enemy of the good enough for now. And we trust that needed reforms will continue to come forth.

And in an expedition fashion and look forward very much to working with the city and council as specific reform proposals are considered and finalized.

Thank you so much for everything on this.

Thank you, Ms. Clark. I appreciate that.

And really appreciate staff for being willing to work with the public and all of us to make this reality in a really timely fashion to you. So just appreciate that.

And want to pass on over to councilman Brownswell.

Yes, lots of small, but very important changes that are going to have a big impact on a lot of projects and a lot of people across town. So thank you again, staff for bringing this forward. Happy to open and close the public hearing and move this item forward.

All right, even motion. I mean, the second by councilmember Jennings, all those in favor, please say aye.

Opposed? It's same. All right. So that passes unanimously.

All right, colleagues, do we have any public comment for items now in the agenda?

Yes, Vice Mayor, I have four speakers for now on the agenda.

And just really quickly, while she gets those preparedness, want to remind members of the public to please keep your comments germane to the issues of city council and the city business. Thank you.

First speaker is Julia Skiles, Ryan Masano, Jensen Ben Edra, and then Sam V. Vigent, Aginant.

I'm going to write a speech, but I didn't have the time. So I'll just say this.

What I would like to see from the Sacramento City Council members is the respect to their constituents and people that they say that they fight for.

When we come up here and speak our concerns, there's going to be those of us who have to say things that you guys may disagree with, and that's fine.

I don't always agree with you guys on everything, but I do sit in patiently and gracefully, graciously listen to you guys say what you have to say,

whether I disagree or not. And I hope that you guys are the same for us.

Free speech is under attack. When you guys shut us down, are you turning your backs? It only shows incompetency from you guys.

We're not seeing a rationalization. We're seeing immaturity from a bunch of adults. A lot of you guys who are older than I am.

And so I want our free speech to be protected, to be respected. We have concerns whether you're on the right, the left, Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter.

There are concerns. Money is being stolen from us. Housing is a problem. Homelessness is a problem. Crime is a problem. And many other problems with that.

If you guys choose to sit there and just ignore us and pretend like you're going to solve something and you're really not, then why are you even up there in the first place?

Did you guys give all of the in or were you guys selected?

So I hope that what I have to say does get taken into consideration that you guys take us seriously, whether again you agree or not, at least just listen to us and know what we're coming from.

So hopefully we can find common ground and not to deal with the corruption that we see all the time.

Thank you.

Give your comments, Ray and Missano and then Jensen.

So I just want to talk about free speech as well.

Because if everyone here has ideas that they believe in very strongly, that's a wonderful thing.

The beautiful thing about truth is that it holds itself up against fierce criticism. When that fierce criticism is silenced, you can't be sure that the truth that you are listening to is actually true.

This is why myself being banned on Twitter and Facebook and millions of other Americans as well is such a bad thing.

Because now when you are on those mediums, you are not getting all of the opinions of American citizens, which is why I would recommend every city in America to get off of Facebook and Twitter so we can have an open discussion.

Because what's happening right now is we have those who wish to stifle free speech and it's not a mystery they're doing it right now of who these people are.

And what that does is it takes away everyone to consider what is true and what is not.

Now if what I say is wrong, it should be able to be easily refuted.

Any of you should be able to say, you know Ryan, what you just said is wrong. Here's the truth and you should be able to publicly do that.

Not a single one of you has ever, and I've been coming up here for a year, ever done anything like that.

We are all equal, we all came into this world, created equal, we're going to leave it equal too.

So if you can't listen to other opinions, that's a problem that needs to be fixed, Lisa Kaplan, and yes I'm talking to you.

Please do not address council member Feinley, please address the entire council.

Okay, so please stop doing that. I could talk to any individual council member I want.

Your time is complete.

I can talk to any council member I want.

Please be back, Claire, and stop doing that.

Your time is complete.

Your time is complete.

Please, Jensen, Bez Ezra, who would try it?

Jensen, welcome.

Thank you, city council and city manager, everyone, for letting me have a chance to speak.

I'm not supposed to address anyone, city council, everybody.

Basically, I have a few issues.

I'm trying to get off the subject.

I mean, off long stories for it.

I want to thank you guys for everything that you're doing in the city.

It has to be very hard to run a city like this.

It's not easy, and even my simple job, you know, is always tasked that even I'm a professional, it's tasked that always come and give me a challenge.

So I know you are dealing with challenges every day, and I appreciate just standing here and doing what you have to do.

Okay.

I want to put a subject as I've been trying to get a subject on agenda about the old Sacramento docs.

So I have to address.

I've been trying to contact my city council member in district four, and it's been unsuccessful for me to get the topic of the old Sacramento docs ordinances on agenda.

I was told by the assistant city manager that that's not agenda item.

So if possible, I need to get some type of clarification, but also my family lives in our houseboat in old Sacramento.

We've been living in our houseboat for a few years, often on mooring at the old Sacramento docs.

They have a plan to close the docs on Friday, and they said they will take our boat from us if we're still more there.

We just got approved for our veteran benefits, so we're going to be able to get a VA loan and get a home very soon.

So that's a good thing.

It's just I might need a little more time for us to take care of that situation for my family, have four kids.

I don't have much time left.

I want to get the ordinances on agenda if possible for my district four possible.

Thank you for hearing me out.

Thank you for coming to the city council.

If that's okay, assistant city manager Lara, would you mind connecting with him please?

Thank you so much.

And our final speaker is Sam V. Agilent.

Welcome.

Hello.

My name is Sam Anginette, and I went to the pharmacy to pick up some meds, and they were closed, so I left the target on 4th Avenue.

And a man raced through the crosswalk in front of the store, ran into my shopping cart.

He went parked his car, went to my car, and the handy-cat parking I'm disabled.

He came over and attacked me, beat me to the grounds, kicking me in the head, pounding on my neck.

They took me to jail for self-defense.

And then when they figured out that they screwed up, they didn't take me back to my car a week later.

They threw me out in a street 11.45 pm in the rain.

I'm disabled. I can barely walk.

Fortunately, there was a bail bondsman across the street, and I got a call at cab, and I had a couple dollars and got home.

That's the police.

I totally threw me under the bus.

When they realized they made a mistake, they didn't do anything.

They didn't apologize. They just threw me out in a street in a rain.

That's my first complaint.

Then I moved here to grow marijuana for dispensaries, because I'm disabled, and I could do that in my house.

I became illegal, so I quit. I'm disabled, I have no money.

Everything's sitting there, minding my own business.

I think I know January 5th, 5 in the morning, I have the police two tanks, a SWAT van, 50 more police officers pointing guns at me,

because I have a medical marijuana grow.

I'm not selling marijuana, no criminal charges were ever pressed, and they find me a whole bunch of money for a bunch of tiny little pot plants.

The police are laughing at me telling me I will never see my house again.

They're so proud of themselves.

Daniel Lowe, they're falsified a lot of the code enforcement man, and made me pay for a permit to do a total remodel on my house when all I need to do is.

Your comments, your time is complete.

Oh, that was my second thing.

Mr. City managers, are someone from your team that can help us this?

Yes, a assistant city manager, Lady Millstein, can help you.

She's in the back, she'll connect with you then.

Go talk to her.

Yes, please.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Thanks for having no more speakers.

Thank you, Madam City Clerk.

And now, colleagues, we move on to ideas, questions, comments, and AB 1234 reports.

We'll start first with Council Member Vang.

Thank you, Vice Mayor.

I have just a follow-up direction ask and then some announcement.

And the first one is, I wanted just to follow up on the hiring status of a language equity and access coordinator.

I know my understanding is that interviews were conducted, and then there was a hiring freeze due to the budget, but it was passed for next year.

And so I just wanted a status update.

Actually, I'm making this request on behalf of Council Member Garanai.

I wanted to know what the status update on the hiring is.

Next steps for implementing the position, and hopefully this summer or fall at the latest.

Just because we want to make sure we get that going.

I'll follow up on our provide you an update.

Okay, thank you so much.

Appreciate it.

And then just some announcement.

We have our first summer free concert in the park at Mediview this weekend.

The event is from 5 to 8 o'clock at Mediview Park.

We have, there's going to be live music, family friendly activities, and encouraging everyone to come out.

That is the Saturday from 5 to 8.

And then before that, from 11 to 3 at the Macroad Valley High Community Center, there is a fourth annual Dana Miesha resource fair, so encouraging folks to come out to that as well.

And then as you all know, every Sunday we have our weekly farmer's market at the Mediview White Real Station, so encouraging folks to come out.

It's open from 8 to 1.

Come out and support your local farmers and vendors.

And yeah, have a great beginning of July summer.

Because this is our last council meeting until after council recess, so just really wanted to wish everyone a great summer.

Awesome. Thank you.

Councilmember Tau.

Thank you, Vice Mayor.

Wanted to make some announcements before we go on recess.

You know, summer is here.

Okay, Mayor Pro Tem, Talamontes.

We have our first movie night this Friday at the South of Thomas Community Center to go watch cars,

so I invite us to join us.

And I did a police ride along on Friday for 12 hours, from 2.30 to 12.30, almost 1 in the morning.

And I had the chance to meet Officer Daisy Castro, who was just so incredible,

and just, I got to live a day in her life.

And it was just incredible to meet her and her patients, and who she is, and her story,

and why she decided to become an officer.

So just thank you Captain Chandler for pairing me up with her, and she gives me help for the future.

Careful.

All right, Councilor Kaplan.

Thank you, Vice Mayor, couple of announcements.

This Friday is our District One swim and movie night, where we partner with the city

at the North Natomas Aquatic Center.

The movie being played is the Disney movie soul.

Free swim starts at 7.

Movie begins about 8.15, and it is as well as free entry.

We're providing popcorn, so bring your swimsuit, change clothes, blankets and chairs,

to join us at the North Natomas Aquatic Center.

Excellent.

Councilor Magettings.

Great. Thank you, Vice Mayor.

I've got a lot of announcements to announce since we're going to be on break for a little while,

so I'll start with the music in the park.

At Curtis Park, which is taking place Sunday, June 30th, from 6 to 8 p.m.,

you should bring your blankets and just really try to find a spot where you can listen to the incredible music

that's going to be by unsupervised.

That's right. Unsupervised.

It's going to be, again, once again, at William Lynn, William Curtis Park,

and plus I'll be sponsoring for the kids who may not be interested in the music.

I'll be sponsoring face painting for all the kids who show up,

a group by the name of behind the scenes face painting will be doing it for our kids.

So bring your cameras because you want to take pictures of those kids getting their face painted.

All right.

When I also let you know about the pocket parade that happened on July 4th,

that's next week and we're gearing up for an incredible event.

Some say it's the largest in the city of Sacramento.

We just want to make sure it's an event that you'll remember for the rest of your life.

Registration is now closed, but everyone is welcome to come and watch the parade

and participate in all the activities.

After the parade, we encourage you to stop by Garsha Bend Park

to enjoy some of the delicious food from Sack Motow Food Trucks

and live music from our very own Shark Family Trio.

So it's going to be a great time if you want more information,

especially about road closures on that day,

visit July 4th, PocketParae.com.

Once again, that's July 4th, PocketParae.com.

And then finally, in the month of July, we have a series called Jazz in July.

If you're into jazz, you're going to love this series.

The first night is just slightly outside of the month of July,

it's going to be on Friday, the 28th from 6 to 8 p.m.

at Williamland Park in the Panhandle.

It enjoy the beautiful music of Jeff Minneweather.

It's the Jeff Minneweather Quartet.

And this is an opportunity for you to get your friends and family out there

and have a wonderful time in the park.

And then the second jazz in July will take place on July 12th at Marriott Park.

The third, July the 19th, at Garsha Bend Park.

And then the fourth is July the 26th at Bell Coolidge Park.

So we got the whole month of July pretty much covered every Friday.

If you enjoy jazz, this will be an opportunity to come out,

enjoy free jazz. I see you checking your head.

That's good. Come on out.

And we're going to make sure you get food out there, lots of camaraderie

with family and friends, and just beautiful people enjoying music in the park

and having a wonderful time.

So those are our announcements and I hope to see you there.

A lot of really exciting things.

Thank you for that. And then for the face painting,

does it only have to be children?

I mean, if I roll up, can I get my face painted?

That's all I'm saying.

You can be the biggest kid in our group.

And we will make sure if you got to see him in front of your name,

we'll be out paid for that person.

All right. I'll wear that like a badge of honor.

People often call me a big kid.

All right. So I'm very excited to wish everyone a happy summer

as we head off into summer recess after this meeting.

We have a couple of exciting things.

I am very bummed that I'm going to miss the parade in District 7.

But we are having our very own Hollywood Park neighborhood association

for the July parade starts at Hollywood Park Elementary at 9 a.m.

on July 4th.

I will be, of course, dressed like Bill A. D. Libby, like I did last year.

So if you want to come out and see me look silly, you can join us there.

It's a lot of fun.

And one of the neighbors actually has an old like 1940s fire truck

that they have refurbished and they drive around.

It's a lot of fun.

So come join us if you can.

And then we are also doing our on Saturday, June 29th.

So coming up this Saturday, we're doing our Mangan Park ice cream social

and free pool day.

So come join us on the ice cream socials from 1 to 3 p.m. at Mangan Park.

And then the pool entry is from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Mangan Park pool.

So please come join us.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

I recommend swimming first and then eating the ice cream.

But do as you wish.

And what?

Oh, yes.

And then I have one other really exciting announcement.

We were able to announce this via press conference this last week.

But just want to let the community know that with the partnership of Senator

Angelique Ashby and a generous contribution from Walmart,

we have been able to pay for all youth to swim for free, all summer long at Mckotchy pool.

So, yes, so come on really, really exciting program.

We're calling Katie's cool down.

So youth from all over the city can come and swim for free at Mckotchy pool any day that it's open.

So we welcome the community to come by.

And so with that, seeing no other business to come before the city council,

I call this meeting adjourned at 5.47 p.m.
