2:26

who came before us and still walk beside us today on these ancestral lands by choosing

2:32

to gather together today in the active practice of acknowledgement and appreciation for Sacramento's

2:38

indigenous peoples, history, contributions and lives. Thank you. And I would, we would

2:45

like to join the pledge of allegiance. I pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United

2:52

States of America and to the republic like the Wittichestians, one nation under God,

2:58

indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

3:15

Thank you, Vice Chair. Thank you, Vice Chair. I would like to make a notation before

3:35

moving on in the agenda to move public comments matters not on the agenda that's currently

3:46

at the end of the meeting to now before the consent calendar. So commissioners, if you

3:58

could make that note.

4:21

Clerk, are there any members of the public who we should speak on public comments for any

4:25

matters that are not on the agenda? Thank you, Chair. We have no speakers for this.

4:35

Thank you. I'd like to turn the meeting management to Vice Chair Kramer for the consent calendar,

4:42

please. Thank you, Chair. Can we get approval for the commission meeting minutes?

4:54

Second.

4:59

Oh, motion to approve the consent calendar. Yes.

5:11

Second.

5:18

Now, we need a press motion for the commissioner follow-up blog.

5:25

I think what they're moving. So usually the consent calendar. So you would just call for

5:30

a motion to approve the consent calendar. So that would include whatever's in the consent

5:36

calendar. So now I think you've had a motion in a second. So then you would just call

5:43

for a vote at that point. Okay. So may I get a vote to pass the commission follow-up

5:52

blog? Thank you, Vice Chair. And just to confirm the motion that was on the table was just

5:57

for the meeting minutes. So do we want to approve the consent calendar as a whole?

6:04

Perfect. I second that amended motion. Thank you.

6:10

Question. All right. And then for the record we have no public speakers for the consent calendar.

6:17

Commissioners, if you can please unmute your microphones for the vote. Commissioner Tuzon Boit.

6:22

Aye. Commissioner Mercer. Aye. Commissioner Ellis.

6:27

Aye. Vice Chair Kramer. Aye. Commissioner Smith is absent.

6:32

Commissioner Greenbaum. Aye. Commissioner Carr. Aye.

6:35

And Chair Crowley. Aye. Thank you. The motion passes.

6:44

At this time I'd just like to offer Vice Chair Kramer if you'd like to continue leading

6:51

the meeting for the discussion calendar. If you would like to continue that would be acceptable.

6:56

Yes. Thank you. So we have we have one agenda, one this one item on our discussion calendar

7:03

today and that is to reveal the draft of the DAC for 2024 and our annual report and work

7:11

plan for 2025. All right. Thank you. So after our meeting in November,

7:23

Stephanie Siaz, who's with me again tonight, went through the annual report and provided

7:28

the updates. And so we also I met with Sylvia and Mo to go over the meeting and make the

7:39

revisions that we all discuss. So I hope you had time to review the revised report. And so

7:49

I'd like to just step through and I think the most efficient way to go is just to kind

7:53

of take it page by page and we can proceed that way. And I should be able to share my

8:03

share my computer to if we want to talk to specific edits and I see it's up there.

8:09

That's sound good. All right. So just have our cover page.

8:19

How many changes there? Table of contents. There was some minor edits just to the ordinance
