All right.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Welcome to the Monday March 17,

the meeting is now called to order.

Will the clerk please call the roll to establish quorum.

Thank you, chair. Members, please unmute.

Member in man for.

Member bird.

Member in Miele.

Member Stein.

Chair Gonzalez.

Thank you.

We have quorum.

I would like to remind members of the public and 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, knowledgements, and honor of Sacramento's Indigenous people and tribal lands.

To the original people of this land, the Nisanan people, the southern Maidu,

Valley and Plains, Mewak, Pukwin, WinToon peoples,

and the people of the Wilton Rancheria, 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 active practice of acknowledgement and appreciation for Sacramento's Indigenous peoples.

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, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you.

Our first business today is the approval of consent calendar.

Clerk, are there any members of the public who wish to speak on the consent calendar?

Thank you, Chair. There are no speakers for this item.

Thank you. Are there any members who wish to speak on this item?

No.

Thank you. Is there a motion and a second for the consent calendar?

Motion.

First motion by Board Member Man 4. Any second?

I assume the motion is to approve the minutes as written or the consent calendar.

Second by Member Mela.

Will the clerk please call the roll for the vote?

Thank you, Chair. Members, please unmute for the vote.

Member Man 4.

Aye.

Member Bird.

Aye.

Member Mela.

Aye. Members Stein. Aye.

And Chair Gonzalez-Kabatta.

Aye.

Thank you. Motion passes.

So we don't have a discussion calendar.

We're going to go ahead and adjourn to close session.

If you're going to refuse, you should probably refuse yourself on the record.

Just for the record, I am again refusing myself from the closed session.

Thank you.

Next, will you get 30 seconds to resume the live stream, please?

Thank you, Clerk.

We are reconvening back from closed session.

I'm going to turn it over to Vice Chair or Vice Chair to read the decision from closed session.

We're going to proceed into government code section 549571A5 and civil service board rule 12.10D1,

the board by a 3-1 vote passed a motion to adopt the arbitrators proposed decision in its entirety in the discipline case of a police officer.

Thank you so much. Thank you, Vice Chair.

The next item is member comments, ideas, questions, and meeting conference report.

Are there any commissioners who wish to speak?

Okay, board member, Bird.

Thank you, Chair.

We're reflecting on the fact that it would be helpful for staff to provide us with information when we're headed into closed session only.

As soon as possible to get that information in a more timely fashion so that we can determine if we're going to need additional information before we head to these regularly scheduled hearings,

because we've twice now had to postpone decisions because we asked for additional information.

In some cases, it's not fair to the appellant to continue their, you know, ambivalent status waiting for us to get our additional information.

So it's merely a request if we could get information from staff a little sooner when we're headed into closed session.

Thank you.

Remember, sign?

I agree with what member Bird said. I think it would help us better serve any appellant for a closed session.

Any other board members?

Thank you.

The last item is public comments matters not on the agenda. Clerk, are there any members of the public who wish to speak on public comments matters not on the agenda?

Thank you, Chair. There are no speakers for this item.

This concludes today's agenda. Thank you everyone for your participation. The meeting is adjourned.
