Commissioner Hogeyge? Here. Commissioner George Off? Here. Commissioner Paskel? Here. And Chair Dickinson? Here. Thank you. We have quorum. Before we start the meeting, I would like to remind members and 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 to today's agenda. Please note that does not apply to those of you who are part of one of the presentations scheduled for tonight. I ask you to please rise if you are able to, for the opening acknowledgments in honor of Sacramento's Indigenous Peoples and tribal lands. To the original people of this land, the Nassonan people, the southern Maidu valley, plains me walk, Patwyn, Winton 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 the sidest today on these ancestral lands by choosing to gather today in the act of practice of acknowledgement and appreciation for Sacramento's Indigenous Peoples' history, contributions, and lives. Thank you. And now, if you can 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, indivisible, and for the team just as for all. Is this you? Yes, Chair. So the next item of business is the recognition of dedication and service to the Measure You Community Advisory Commission. As this is the last regular scheduled meeting before some of your current terms expire, the office of the city clerk would like to extend our sincerest gratitude for your service on the Measure You Community Advisory Commission. Some of you have been on this commission for some time, others were appointed to serve a short partial term. Either way, service has been invaluable to this commission as well as the city of Sacramento. I'll now be handing out some certificates. If anyone would like to say a few words regarding their time on the commission, please feel free to do so. Commissioner Wolff. Yes, so I just want to say thank you to all you guys who have signed up for this largely at times thankless work. I know there's a lot of tedious moments where you have to review a lot of documents that is otherwise on a volunteer basis. So yeah, thank you for stepping up and acting as a public servant in this capacity. We appreciate all of your guys' times here. You know, whether you're back here again or serve on a different commission or whatever I know we'll probably all see each other shortly in the near future. So just one of the say thank you from my own perspective. Thank you, Commissioner Wolff. Commissioner Hojeg. Yes, thank you. I just want to thank you all so much for an incredible year. I know I've only been here a short time but I feel like I've learned so much and with city staff guidance and fellow commissioner guidance. This has been just an incredible learning experience. I can't believe it's already done and I look forward to working with you all more in the future hopefully
