Okay.

I'd like to welcome everyone to the City of Sacramento personnel and public employee committee meeting.

This meeting is taking place today, Thursday, October the 7th at 11 a.m.

Would the clerk please take roll?

Thank you, Chair.

Member Telamantes.

Vice Chair Kaplan.

Member Vang.

And Chair Jennings.

All right.

I'm going to ask everyone to stand as we take the land acknowledgement and the pledge of allegiance.

And Councilmember Karina Telemantes will lead us in that.

Please rise for the opening acknowledgments in honor of Sacramento's Indigenous People and Tribal Lands.

It's original people of this land, the Disamour people, the Southern Maidu, Valley and Plains Mewak, Patwin Winto people, and the people of the Willow Ranger, Sacramento's only federally recognized tribe.

May we acknowledge and honor the Native people who came before us as they walk beside us today on these ancestral lands by choosing to gather together today on the act of practice of acknowledgement and appreciation for Sacramento's indigenous people's history, contributions, and life.

Thank you.

Salute pledge.

Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

Thank you to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you, Councilmember.

I should have said if you're able to stand, would you please stand?

But it looks like everyone was able.

So thank you very much.

Okay, we will continue to move forward with our agenda.

Our consent agenda is next.

All items are under the consent calendar and considered and acted upon by one motion.

Is there a motion on the consent calendar?

I'll move as long as there's no public comment.

I can confirm there's no public comments for the consent calendar.

I'll second it.

It's been moved and second.

All in favor, say aye.

Aye.

All opposed or abstain.

Let the record show we are unanimous.
