Thank you.

For tonight's land acknowledgement and pledge, we're going to ask Vice-Mayer Tallah Montez

to lead us.

Please rise for the opening acknowledgments and honor Sacramento's indigenous people and

tribal lands.

To the original people of this land, the Nisanat people, the southern Maidu, Valium

Plains Mewok, Patwen Windtune peoples, and the people of the Wilter Rancheria, Sacramento

is only federally recognized tribe.

May we acknowledge and honor the native people who came before us and still walked beside

us today on these ancestral lands by choosing to gather together today and the active practice

of acknowledgement and appreciation for Sacramento's indigenous peoples' history,

contributions, and lives.

Thank you.

Salute, flag.

What?

What do you need to do to flag the United States of America?

And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation are not indivisible with the indigenous

Israel.

Madam City Attorney, do we have a report out from closed session?

Yes, the Mayor and Councilman closed session to discuss the status of labor negotiations

with our Labor Negotiator and there's nothing to report out of.

Thank you.

So we move to the consent calendar.

I do have two speakers on consent.

Are there any items that the council members wish to pull or comment on?

Seeing none.

Council Member Vang.

Oh, I just comment on item five and item six.

Councillor Diconson.

On item six, please.

And Council Member Kaplan.

Item five.

Okay, so let's go on both of Vang and Kaplan on item five.

Do you want to start off?

Yeah, I'll go ahead and kick it off.

Just first wanted to really take this moment to think our incredible city staff, Sarah.

I don't know if she's in the audience or if she's watching.

I really wanted to commend her for her incredible work with our Sacramento Youth Commission

and in particular, I want to go shout out to Chair Rios and also Stormi Berga, who is our

Vice Chair and obviously also shout out to two of my youth to Commissioner Maria and Grace

Longmeyer.

Really just wanted to say thank you for all of the great work that you all have done.

I had an opportunity to look over the 2025 work plan and it was looking at all the great

work that they've done in 2004 and it's just incredible the amount of work that our young

people have done in this city.

Everything from the youth symposium to the joint meeting with the Sacramento Children's

Fund oversight commission, they've done incredible work and really I know this item's

on consent but wanted to take this moment to really think our young people in this city

for all the great work that they've done and so that's it and really looking forward to

the great work they're going to be doing in 2025.

Councilmember Kaplan.

I too want to echo what was indicated by my colleague but follow up specifically if you

read the work plan and I think it's really important to call out on the dias is seeing

the surveys that they went out to other youth throughout the city is that the themes that

were shared was more peer to peer support and mental health resources.

So one of their action plans is they went and put together basically a compendium of

information of mental health support and I'm just looking forward that when they finish

that that then comes to us on the dias so that we can share out because a theme last year

from summer at city hall was more peer to peer and more mental health support and the youth

were very adamant that they want to hear it from their peers not so much the adults.

So I just want to commend them on doing that and I look forward to actually seeing what

they put together.

Thank you.

Thank you councilmember and I do have a read to the record on item six before we go to

council comments on that.

So on the resolution item G the date should be July 2025 and not July 2024.

So again on G the date is July 2025 and then councilmember Venge you had comments on six.

Thank you city clerk.

Yeah I just wanted to take this moment to think our incredible city staff and also the Sacramento

Public Library authority staff for working really hard to secure grants for Mediview

and North Sacramento.

It's been a long time coming when I came on in 2020-2021 when we applied for these grant

several years ago and we actually were awarded two rounds for the state's building forward

program and so really just want to thank staff for their hard work.

The city received about five million and state funds who renovated MLK library and

over seven million for the North Sacramento library and so really just wanted to thank

staff.

Something that I often share is that our libraries are more than just building with books.

Their central hubs for our seniors, our babies, our youth, our families and so it's so

important to make sure that our library is up to par.

Especially our libraries and our underserved community and I'm really excited even though

I rep Mediview really excited to see a library being built in district two which is long

overdue and so again just really want to thank city staff for being innovative in addition

to the grant.

They were able to also identify strategies to ensure that we were able to fund fully both

library projects and so again just really wanted to thank city staff for all their hard

work.

Thank you.

Councilmember Dickinson?

Well let me just if I may, underscore the comments of my colleague, Ms. Van, Councilmember

Van.

I know firsthand from my experience how significant a community asset libraries are.

They as I think all of us on this panel know become a centerpiece of community activity,

of community engagement, community resource and I can't say strongly enough how significant

it is to have a new library in North Sacramento and Hagenwood.

The current library offer operates out of a small rented storefront on Del Paso Boulevard

which is much too little for the needs of the community and this project has been seen

for a number of years as symbolic of both how important it is in its own right but also

as an indication of the commitment of the city and the library authority to the community

in North Sacramento and Hagenwood.

So I want to join in thanking the city and library authority staff.

I want to thank all the members of the community who have participated in the planning of

the library.

This is a significant vote tonight both for the MLK library which is equally important

to its neighborhood and community and for this project because it is a manifestation

and concrete terms literally it will be concrete terms to bring these libraries to life or

to new life in the case of MLK for our community.

So thanks to all.

Thank you council member.

It's a capillary.

I just also wanted to talk about these two library projects and first of all we all

love our libraries.

I don't have a district so I have all of our districts but I'm very familiar with the

project in your area council member Dickinson.

We did help get some state resources for this long promised library and know the building

there and the community has certainly been really engaged in this past fall led by council

members.

The electorate says we love our libraries and they stepped up to make sure we have continued

funding for our libraries but some of our libraries are at hours not always available

and some of our communities will have one in the first place.

So I think this is what we're doing tonight is answering that call and a few weeks ago

just so the public knows we were talking about oh we can't do this we can do one library

over the other library and so through hard work of our city managers office our finance

team we were able to make sure we have resources to do both libraries so this is not picking

one community over the other but making sure both communities have a significant win.

So thank you council members for working on this.

Okay thank you public comment.

Thank you Mayor.

Council member Dickinson one more time.

You know I excuse me I just wanted to add one quick note because there's another element

of significance to the project in North Sacramento and that it's an adaptive reuse of an existing

building.

We're taking a building that had been used for another purpose quite well over the years

but now we are modifying it and reusing it.

This is the essence of what we do in smart urban development is make use of the assets

we've got for purposes that may change over time but are no less worthwhile and important

to the community so I just wanted to also mention that.

Thanks.

Thank you public comment.

Thank you.

Members for the consent calendar the first is Lambert on item 3 and 6.

Danielle Foster on item 7.

Rev on item 3 and Mac Rivion on item 1.

As I look at item 6 I'm very impressed with that.

This is the way it should be done.

City Councilman Dickerson and City Councilwoman Mai Vang.

When I first saw this, which was on the weekend, this was not worded like this.

So I have to give a shout out to Minty Cuppie because this was number three on the consent

calendar and now it's six, which to me meant it had to be re-amended.

The only thing that I see negative about it is it says suspended competitive bidding.

As a person who owns a business, I'd like to get a $10 million contract with no bidding

with cheesecakes or whatever it is.

I think you should really take a look at the bidding part of it.

When you don't bid on something, that's called bid rigging to me, bid peddling.

That's why they used to say a sealed bid.

You don't know what the bid is and the lowest bid comes out.

Well whoever's handling the paperwork, so be careful with this.

This could come back to haunt you for no bidding.

But as long as Mai Vang and Roger Dickerson are involved, once they figure that out, I'm

all for it.

Because these are two people that I'm excited about that are really trying to help their

communities.

And number three, which is measure you, I think more money should go to people who are

going to be coming up here later.

They have some brilliant ideas about homeless.

You should take a look at that because there's plenty of money in measure you as just depends

on how you spend it.

That's a very good job.

Thank you for your comments.

Danielle Foster on item seven.

Good evening, Marin City Council.

I'm Danielle Foster.

I'm the executive director at the Capital Area Development Authority, Cata.

One of your joint powers authorities with the state of California.

And I'm glad to be here tonight representing both Mutual and Cata on item seven, our

project Monarch.

Which is at 8th and R. That's one of the state surplus properties.

And we are ready to get going on it.

241 units of affordable housing.

And thanks to our partnership with the city and your support and designation as a pro-housing

community.

We are fully lined up to start construction soon.

So appreciate your partnership.

And in addition to this project, we also have another project we'll be bringing online

at 16th and T. And in total, we'll be starting about 375 units of affordable housing downtown

over the next few months.

So really appreciate all of the work that we're doing together and just wanted to say thank

you.

And I left a flyer at each of your seats for more information and the elevations because

it's always fun to see pictures.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker is Rev.

That's worthy.

And Rev is speaking on item three.

Blessings to you all.

I'm going to speak on this the best as simple as I can measure you.

I just found out about it really.

It's revolved around my home.

I'm homeless living in these streets running my ministry.

So to know 24B, I pray to God and I need to have your hands in that park to get some of

that $24 billion dollars.

I was stolen that's crazy money.

That would have ended homelessness.

So everything I'm working for is to put a big dinner ended if I could.

If I'm blessed to end homelessness, I know that'll put a lot of people out of the

poor jobs.

All these non-problems is I have faking acting like they're doing something because they

give out a blanket and some hot chocolate.

I'm not doing that.

I don't like cheating because I know they feed themselves.

I want to put them to work.

On a stage work, Mr. Dixon, you know what I mean?

Just to give them something to do.

Other than walking around a circle chasing a tail like a dog.

Even one of my God children back here is homeless.

Said he just took his RV.

Not good.

Not good at all.

So I see all this.

I'm living out here amongst them in a limousine as parked out right inside your door.

Been doing for 13 years, different limousine.

They get beat up, battleized shot, destroyed and everything else.

That's okay.

Because I got to keep doing what I'm doing.

So I was already informed to get a hold of you, Mr. Dixon, because I have a really big

spirit in Del Paso Heights.

Real big spirit.

I just want to make a difference.

If I can do just that before I die, that's all I want to do.

I won't even sing my song.

I've got a couple of seconds.

It's time to time in our line, Lord, we all lose faith, Lord, and we all have this

sorrow.

And our Lord, He gave His life.

So we know that there's always tomorrow.

Lean on Him.

When you're not strong, my Lord will be your friend.

And He'll help you carry on.

Because not, dear Lord, it won't be long.

Because we're going to need need need need.

Thank you for your comments.

Thank you for your comments.

Your time is complete.

Mac Worthy is our final speaker on the consent calendar.

He's speaking on item one.

People, you know, would you like to know what the public is investing your money?

Why would you put on there?

And nobody never said what you invested in.

That street that bank of America was sued because you lied to the taxpayers.

That's real money.

Wake up people.

I was in the beginning for 59 years here.

If it hadn't been competitive, I would have never been 20 years with the legal government

cities without hot air and brown right across the street there, as 11 years.

My current camera, I was with them 18 years.

I've had 32 years.

I was 59 years, competitive.

People, we don't know, but we see it being peddling.

I think I found what I've been looking for on attorney.

Say it.

And Dickerson, the money over there, did you read to Sakwane Rhee?

Don't let him get you on a squeeze.

I expect a lot out of you because you was here when the pack was in the community.

The sheet is white, Mr. Warren, that told him not to leave the pack because you're

lose to arm investigation.

And they done just that.

That property is called a state owned.

There's no taxpayer on it.

There's a law there that they can walk an assort your property and then they get ready.

Tell the people the truth.

You got programs on on that.

You're not going to get into kids.

How do you run on the ground?

Well fair, to teach an ass does how to take care of their house.

Sad people.

Developers don't pay tax.

There's no taxpayer on that property.

Why?

Read the B. In another newspaper I'll be meeting with them soon.

In Sakwane.

Why?

Dickerson, don't get caught on a squeeze because I'm going to be trying to get to...

Thank you for your comments.

Mayor, I have no more speakers on the consent calendar.

Thank you.

Do we have a motion on the consent calendar?

Second.

I have a motion.

Second.

All in favor, please say aye.

Any nos or abstentions?

Seeing none.

Consent calendar passes.

Next item.

So, Mayor, the next item is your discussion calendar, item 8.

And today we publish a supplemental that this item will be pulled and will come back to

the council of future date.

So that concludes the business of your meeting.

We'll go to council comments, ideas and questions.

And then I have a few speakers for matters not on the agenda.

Okay.

Councillor Mabra Dickinson.

Is that you?

We're from the last time.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

I have 10 speakers for matters not on the agenda.

So we take this now.

Yes.

Great.

Lambert.

Ron Elmsley.

Victor Lawl.

Kabul Sing.

Jason Randall.

So, members of the public feel free to line up in the aisle.

Again, Lambert.

Ron Elmsley.

Then, Victor.

There's been a major scandal in Sacramento.

It was in the Sacramento B.

And tonight I can personally state that the Davis family, the millennials that follow

us that actually saved our business during pandemic.

And all of the supporters from Del Paso Heights to me, to the Bay and Back Cheesecakes and

the Davis family has been vindicated.

Some of you may not want to hear this and some of you may.

This may be one of my last times coming down here.

I feel like I've graduated.

I knew exactly why I came down here was the study where I grew up, City Hall.

And I feel like I'm going to give myself a degree.

So if you don't see me, it's just some of you might be thrilled that I don't come down

here for a while.

But I did want to end by saying that when you go back and read that article in the Sacramento

B, you won't see to the Bay and Back in there.

You won't see me in there.

You won't see to great Mr. worthy there because we come down here with integrity.

And that's what you need down here.

I think Mr. Dickerson has a tremendous potential to do some very good things down here.

And when you form alliances with people that are really trying to do some good, then you

get a coalition like my van and Roger Dickerson on a library situation.

So people should be reaching out to us.

We're going into the Super Bowl and Valentine's and our cheesecakes have gone viral all over

California.

Nobody's asking us how the Davis family do it with money.

Nobody's asking us that.

And I will end by saying that the company is called to the Bay and Back cheesecakes.

Thank you for your comments.

Ron Elmsley, then Victor Law.

This body has been, let's see, just really sad until you folks, you knew folks came

on board.

The last two mayors, they were something else.

They were kind of, it was weird.

First they voted a basketball star.

And then the only reason he didn't continue is because he had dirty baggage and so he had

to bow out.

And then what's the other guy?

He was a jewel.

He was just, I don't know, he was crazy.

You folks, for the last ever since Heather was gone, it was one of the major reasons for

this was to take pictures.

To get people up here and take pictures and come on, we'll smile and all of that instead

of taking care of business.

It was a strange situation.

Now we only have one neo communists.

They tended to be kind of long-winded.

Talk and talk and talk and talk and talk.

Some of your other folks have been long-winded.

And there's no reason for it.

You just get to the chase and be done with it.

But they wanted to do a filibuster.

And there's no reason for that.

Thank you for your comments.

Your time is complete.

Our next speaker is Victor Laal and Kabul single.

Thank you for your comments.

Your time is complete.

Thank you for your comments.

Your time is complete.

Our next speaker is Victor.

What?

Sir.

I'm announcing my name.

Please take, I'll come and find out how to pronounce it.

Please take your seat, sir.

I'm announcing my name.

Please take your seat.

Your time is complete.

I know.

This is a recording.

Victor?

Hey, good evening folks.

I'm Victor Laal.

I have a small business, a catering business, and food truck.

This is regarding on SACB about the Black Chamber.

And Mr. J. King, there's a comment about him being sued

or whatnot.

So I just want to show my support for the California

Black Chamber, what they've done for me.

And Mr. J. King, he's the president for the Black Chamber.

How he has supported the minority folks

in starting a business, running a business,

state jobs, and bidding, and so much.

Mr. J. King has done so much for all community,

for the minority community, and the staff that works

at the Black Chamber, they're outstanding.

I mean, all the love, all the support

that they give to us as far as running a business,

starting a business, advertising.

So I just want to say thank you to the California Black

Chamber and Mr. J. King.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments.

Kabul, single, and Jason Randhawa.

My name is Kabul Singh, and I'm a small business owner

in District 2.

Mr. Roger Dixon is our new city council member.

We appreciate you.

I am here to support Black Chamber.

There was always there in the go-over and everywhere,

wherever we could not reach out any grants or anything,

or any problems we ran into, they were there to support.

So does Peabed.

Peabed is good there.

I support Peabed and Black Chamber, both they are there for us.

When we cannot speak, when we have language barrier,

when we can't keep connected to right place,

they connect us to right place and speak for us.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you for your comments.

Jason Randhawa and Kevin MacRaz.

Hello.

I'm here to support my, give my support to the Black Chamber.

They do a lot for the community.

They help people who don't have the knowledge

to continue lives in a good manner.

They help them pursue a good future.

They are giving a lot back to the making after school

programs for the kids in the community.

So I just want to give my full support to Black Chamber.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Kevin MacRaz.

And then Rev.

Good evening, council members.

My name is Kevin McCree.

Good evening, Mayor.

I'm here this evening speaking on behalf

of my family business, my wife and children,

we own a so-full restaurant in Del Paso Heights,

co-loaths, Southern Cafe, our business sits right

in the middle of one of America's highest mortuary rates,

zip code 9, 5, 8, 1, 5.

I don't think there is other too many communities

that faces high cancer rates, child deformities,

premature death, autism, mercury, and mercury

inhalation risk and physical threats as we do in the 9, 5, 8, 1, 8.

Over the past last five years, Mr. J. King

has been a pillar and an entrepreneur

to keep in many businesses doors open, not just co-loaths

in the Del Paso Heights community.

Our business has a proven track record

of delivering great Southern co-zines

to you, the elderly and family communities,

in the Sacramento County.

Without J. King and the Black Chamber of Commerce,

his city resources is to the most challenged neighborhoods.

And we probably wouldn't have survived

with those resources.

J. King has always put 9, 8, 9, 9, 5, 8, 1, 5 community

business interests first, and it doesn't matter

what time it is.

In closing, we are dedicated to the,

when you're dedicated to the more on business

ablipment of the worst community in America, like Mr. J. King

have, you need special resources, sometimes,

totally different that they have to do other

Sacramento communities.

Thank you for your comments.

Your time is complete.

Our next speaker is Rev.

Then, Dia Good, then Kyle Williams.

Next speaker is Rev, then Dia Good, then Kyle Williams,

and Devon Strecker.

Hello again.

I wish I can get some help from California Black Chamber

of Commerce, maybe he'll hear this message.

Because I know J. King, just talk to him today for a quick

second.

Because my issue will always be, and I

sing that song because I'm learning myself to lean on God

instead of myself.

And all the music that I'm being working on,

my movie series, and things like that,

is like, I'll be funding my own homeless organization.

Because I know it'll be worth by maybe a year from now.

So I'm going to be putting so much in your face

to where I want to make these changes.

Because I see what Sacramento's following in the last 12

years that I've been doing my ministry.

Just watching the homeless population grow, and it's

sure a part of the pandemic, and people can't get a job enough

to afford these housing out of here, so understand this part.

And what I'm wanting to do, as I indicated,

last time I was here, is to get one truck.

And you now got a spare truck at home, 14-foot box

truck, something like that.

And a bunch of tools.

I can get my homes to be able to get some tools,

just so I can put them to work.

Let them cut down the rest of the trees as fall,

and let them pick up all the trash that they may be dropping.

Let them go paint over these spot, let them help cow tram.

I think it's that note they can work.

I gave you out of the mass last time, they make $10 a day,

times $100,000 through our California, that's $1 million a day.

It's 365 a year, $732, $1.4 billion in three.

So I know they work ethics.

They can make $10 a day, they can make $100 a day,

they can make $500 a day.

Because they were working before they were homeless.

They'd just come out of the house warm, they're scooting

around on the ground until they got dirty and grew up.

No, they were just like you, doing the same kind of work,

basically.

But now they fallin' off a little bit

and they get pushed under until they can rip off

this money they got nearly a trillion dollars

in the homeless fund.

Homeless could have been over, but they saved it.

The money just a steel son.

I prayed none of your hands in that pocket,

but I pray for you if it was.

God bless you all, and lean on him, not me.

Thank you for your comments.

Do you see a good than Kyle Williams?

So, do you, Kyle Devon-Strecker?

Ben MacWorthy, then Sally Shapiro?

Good evening, my name is Do you good?

And I'm a retired legislative consultant

who has been involved with the animal shelter

for more than 25 years.

I established the Friends Nonprofit in 2001

and proposed the creation of the advisory

now well-being commission to counsel the prior year.

I have received council resolutions

and an SPCA advocate of the year award for my work there.

I wanted to show you a notice that was recently posted

on every found shelter dog's profile.

The intent, I believe, was to warn an owner

that if they didn't pick up their dog during the stray period,

the dog may be transferred to another city or state.

I have asked twice for the shelter to post

what that stray period is to know a veil.

If you want to warn owners, why wouldn't you include

what the stray period is?

I believe it's 72 hours.

It makes no sense to post,

it's sort of a half-baked post

without that complete information.

And why wouldn't you clarify

that this doesn't apply to microchipped

or dogs with the identification?

Or maybe it does?

Who would know unless it is stated?

And to make matters worse,

the most recent edit states that dogs

may be pre-selected or prioritized for the transfers.

And that means your neighbor's cute poodle

who gets out would be tagged for transfer upon intake.

So I just wanted to see the post fixed

and I, for the sake of transparency for the public,

so they are not confused.

And I hope that you can do that.

Thank you.

And I only, I thought you could do the video thing.

You can't do that.

I'm not staffed.

So anyway, I only have one copy,

so I'll give it to the mayor

and then I'll send it to everybody else.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments.

Kyle Williams, then Devon Strucker.

How's everybody tonight?

I am here because I don't want to leave Sacramento.

I told myself five years ago, things don't get...

Oh well, it's kind of hard to explain,

but they don't get more normal.

I'm leaving.

Oh, congratulations by the way, Mr. Mayor.

For winning, Kevin McCarthy.

And I'd like to thank you, Phil, for putting your phone number

in your thing.

I thought that was amazing.

Do you guys realize he put his phone number in his...

I called it, the answer.

Kyle Williams, by the way, sorry if I didn't introduce myself.

I'm a middle child.

I was born in the middle of the year.

I'm registered independent.

I like to see people work together.

I don't have a preference.

I just would like to see a variety in this room.

Can you guys raise your hand if you're independent or Republican?

I'll try this before I get some new people.

Not that there's anything wrong with Democrats,

but are you all still Democrat?

So, anyway, independence and Republicans,

please show up to this meeting.

We need all walks of life in this room, in this city.

Five G. Does anybody know about five G?

Seems to be going up around town.

Is anybody an expert up here on the panel?

You guys are just as naive as the rest of us.

We're just letting this microwave system go up in our city.

Based off of energy weapons from what I understand,

not saying it's a weapon, but it's pretty powerful.

You're okay with that?

It's your responsibility to take care of the city.

A lot of the cities down by San Francisco don't allow five G.

But I guess we don't care.

Okay. Let's see what else.

I'm trying to, I got 10 seconds left,

I'm meeting with Mr. Newsom's assistant,

one of them, and trying to be the Trump advisor,

so that he doesn't just sue everybody.

Did you notice when Trump came in office,

he said, I'm going to spend whatever suing the opponent, Wayne.

Thank you for your comments. Your time is complete.

Our next speaker is Devon Strucker.

Thank you for your comments.

Devon Strucker, then Mac Worthy, then Sally Shapiro.

We're not in any sway.

Thank you, good evening, Mayor City Council staff.

Devon Strucker, Executive Director of the River District

and also a resident.

I'm here again to talk about the North 16th Street Historic Neighborhood

within the River District, which has long suffered a sense of lawlessness

and neglect.

I'm still very concerned about encampments that are on the street

with no separation between the vehicular lanes of traffic

with a lot of third-party food delivery app drivers

driving by very quickly.

There's a huge potential for danger and death there.

Also concerned about businesses that are wanting to move out

or considering moving out of the area due to the situation,

as well as the Roar's District Project

that was announced a few years ago,

which has not really significantly moved forward

and would have a huge catalytic impact on that neighborhood.

However, I do want to thank you for taking this problem seriously

since the last time I was here.

The property owners have formed a task force

and we've had cooperation and participation from the Mayor's Office.

So I want to thank Cheryl Howles from the Mayor's Office.

Council member Pluckybaum and your team has been amazing.

Brian Pedro with IMT.

They've really taken it seriously as well as the county,

County Supervisor Phil Sternos staff

and the Department of Behavioral Health and Homelessness.

So I appreciate everybody taking this seriously,

chipping in to help make things better.

There's a lot more work to be done,

but we're here to be your partner.

The River District Peabit is going to knock you this up until

this is a part of downtown that everybody's proud of

and wants to frequent.

So thank you so much.

Thank you for your comments.

Mac Worthy.

I have four more speakers.

So Mac Worthy, then Sally Shapiro, then Michael Milton.

Here we go.

I'm here to support Mr. Morgan due to the circumstances.

We, some with you to call Mr. Morgan about his truck,

but we want to understand this is not a black history.

This is a Negro America history week.

But we want to know we can't show this here.

That's the relative on the border Howell, Jonas.

He's not showing up at your other people like Martin King.

Your library money is because of this.

And Dixon, I'd be careful.

And my brother was in Vietnam.

Now we have people here that their parents were sent here

because of who you dealt with.

Two or three of them.

Now Dickerson, when the guy was put on there,

some of his money according to the paper,

went into money for the library.

Now, the other guy that they pushed was that he didn't release

money from the cobalt money to the mayor.

These are the things that we're going to be asking people.

So some of you are going to be separated to court.

You are people being non-wenomeness.

That was a commitment that your people sent to Vietnam.

The guard told you you couldn't be.

Now, they're here first of all, they're in Beckonsville.

How did they get here?

Wake up.

Study your people.

Ask your people questions.

I'm available at all times.

You wasn't on welfare.

How much of that money is left?

That's what you want to know.

Because you come on the boat, very young, of education.

Now, we look at education.

We look at the county education.

See, that was prime.

Now, last thing I can refer to you as a whole house government.

Some of your young people was identified very young,

according to your previous mayor.

Now, that's the way in the terrorist film

used his woman to recruit young women.

So be aware, I'm here.

Thank you for your comments.

Sally Stupiro, Michael Milton, and then Frank Morgan

will be our final speaker this evening.

Hi.

Hello.

My name is Sally Stupiro.

I wrote a book called Homeless and Sacramento,

Refugees of Corruption.

You can get it on Lulu.

It went around the world and it's translated

into five different languages.

You are all able to raise enough money to get elected.

And you were elected because your top priority was homelessness.

Now, two months later, the cry and begins no money.

But if your top priority was homelessness and is homelessness,

you won't take the money from the homeless projects.

You will take it from other projects.

You used the stick rather than the carrot.

On the homeless with measure O.

If the stick is the way to get business done,

you get things accomplished.

Maybe you should use the stick on yourselves.

One option would be moratorium on unnecessary development

unless it is housing the homeless.

The second option would be limit.

Your salary is to $20 an hour, including the managers,

until this top priority and your promise to us is fulfilled.

Thank you for your comments.

Michael Milton and then Frank Morgan.

Thank you.

Congratulations on your victory.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Michael Milton.

I'm homeless.

I have no address to register my vehicles.

When I went to DMV, they would let me register my vehicles

for the last Wednesday.

I came to see you last Tuesday.

The next day, they told my RV because I can't register it.

I'm an artist.

I do music.

I'll be working.

I'm homeless because I got a divorce.

I was told to go to 2-1-1 and they put me to shelter.

I've been waiting for my housing.

My RV, my beans, my truck.

I have no address.

All of my stuff is photographs.

They took my RV, took my whole house, everything I own.

I got a couple of changes.

I think some of these have changed.

New law that just passed about Sacramento or California

where they could just tow your car without putting a sticker on it

or ticket on it.

They just told me my whole house.

I got a shelter.

I've been at the shelter for 90 days.

I got my RV so I could stay near the shelter because they told me

you don't have no address.

You don't have to go to the shelter so you can get your housing.

I've been waiting on my housing since 2018.

I got selected in 2021 for Section 8 because I didn't have no address.

I was not giving my housing.

I was going through so many ups and downs.

Also, I work.

I was working for Clark Pacific and they said some racist stuff to me

that fired me.

I can't get my EDD because I don't have the address.

Something needs to change for the homeless.

It's not fair what's going on for the homeless.

You kicking us while we...

Thank you for your comments.

Your time is complete.

Our next speaker is Frank Morgan.

Frank Morgan is our final speaker this evening.

Good evening.

I appreciate you guys hurting my cry last week.

I did get a call from Mr. Benjamin III.

They are helping me.

Also, my other problem was that my van was told.

The gentleman was saying without any sticker or anything on it.

It's gone.

I went to the fire department and they gave me a number.

I came down here and I filled it out for somebody to give me some references or report.

I've never received a report.

They came one night at 10 o'clock at night and just told my van off the street.

No warning, no nothing.

It was just gone.

I'm still trying to...

That was my way of making my money.

That was my work van.

That was my Dodge Brenner van.

It had all my tools in it and everything gone.

I'm just trying to get something back.

It's kind of crazy.

We're out here hustling.

I don't sell drugs.

I don't pound.

I don't do stupid stuff.

I'm a law-abiding citizen.

Like I say, I bought this place in 2007 and I tried to get...

I want to say a help to the people because I hired all the crackheads and the hookers and the methamphetamine heads.

Everybody has a talent.

But when you get hooked on drugs, it's hard to keep going.

But I gave everybody a job and we pulled the place together.

I'm just looking for some more help and I appreciate you guys.

This is a good board here.

We just got to...

We need to come together.

Sacramento is a beautiful city.

I'm from San Francisco.

I didn't like it here at first but I'm a native now.

So just God has been good to me.

Like I said, I want to be good to the city.

And like I said, we've got a lot of work to do yet to do but we're going to get it done.

I appreciate you guys listening and I appreciate for the time and like I say, I appreciate District 5 helping me.

But I need more help.

And I'll keep coming and I'll keep asking.

Thank you for your comments.

Your time is complete.

Mary, I have no more items to come before the council this evening.

Thank you.

And we didn't have any ideas, comments or questions from council members.

Did not.

Seeing none.

Seeing none.

No Germans this evening.

So with that, we are adjourned.
