Meeting Transcript
Good evening. Welcome to the Monday, September 16, 2024, 5.30pm meeting of the Measure U Community Advisory Committee. The meeting is now called to order. Will the clerk please call the roll to establish a quorum? Thank you, Chair. Members, if you could please unmute your microphones. Member McGee is currently absent. Member Sala? Here. Member Maseus? Here. Member Wolfe? Here. Member Johnston? Here. Member Gores? Here. Member Rosales? Here. Member George Off? Here. Member Hogege? Here. And Chair Dickinson? Here. Thank you, we have quorum. Thank you. Oh, my apologies. I need to note that Member Paschal is absent. Thank you. 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's slip when the item begins. I don't believe this applies to our presenters, correct? No. Okay. So it does not apply to our presenters. Otherwise, for other members of the public, if you would like to speak on an agenda item, please turn on a speaker's 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's slips. We will now proceed with today's agenda. Like I just asked people to stand if they were able for the land acknowledgement and pledge of allegiance. To the original peoples of this land, the Nisanan people, the southern Maidu valley, and Plains Mewok, Pat Wintun 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 before 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. A Pledge of Allegiance will apply the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Our first business today is item one approval of the consent calendar and approval of the committee agenda log. Oh yes I have no speaker slips for the consent calendar. Thank you. Are there any members or commissioners who wish to speak on this item? Seeing none is there a motion and a second for the consent calendar. All motion? Member Hojige? Aye, George. Oh, I remember George, I'm sorry. All second. Member Hojige, thank you. I have a motion as second. Will the clerk please call the roll. Thank you chair. Member McGee is absent. Member Salah? Yes. Member Maasius? Yes. Member Wolfe? Yes. Member Johnston? Yes. Member Gores? Yes. Member Rosales? Yes. Member George Off? Yes. Member Hojige? Yes. Member Paschal is absent and Chair Dickinson? Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, can I, it was for the last meeting. I was in at the last meeting. You can go abstain. Thank you. Thank you. With that change, the motion still passes. Thank you. We will now proceed to the discussion calendar. I'm really excited about this item three, which are results and lessons learned from select participatory budgeting pilot program project implementation grantees. And I want to welcome and thank all of our grantees who are here tonight and we're looking really looking forward to hearing from you. Staff, should we just jump in?
