The meeting included non-agenda public comment, approval of consent minutes, and a single information item: a presentation by United Association Local 230 on sustainable landfill innovation and a proposed San Diego Resource Recovery Center.

Public Comment on Item 2 (Sustainable Landfill Innovation Presentation):
All right. We're going to get things started. Welcome to our environment committee meeting of September seventeenth, twenty twenty-six. This meeting is being televised and live streamed on the city's website, and council administration will continue to make arrangements for the public to comment using the Zoom webinar platform. Members of the public who wish to provide testimony via calling or an internet-based service option must enter the virtual speaking queue within five minutes after conclusion of in-person public testimony or before the virtual speaking queue is exhausted, whichever occurs first. This will allow for better meeting management between the two platforms and ensure the committee is able to manage and conduct city business. We appreciate the public's cooperation. Chair. All right, thank you so much. With that, we will call the environment committee meeting of September 17, 2026 to order. Sarah, please call the roll. Vice Chair Campbell. Council President Lacava.

Per rule 2.7 non-agenda public comment is an opportunity for members to comment on items that are not on the agenda but are within the subject matter jurisdiction of this committee, and each speaker will have two minutes to provide their non-agenda public comment. We will begin with testimony here in the committee room. We will begin with Maximilian Schmidt. You will be followed by Joyce Sunyata, Lori Lipton, allegedly Audra, and Lori Saldania. Um the timer is not on. It will begin when you start speaking. Communists know esoteric info about the afterlife and the pride flag, and many of them are also reincarnating, so don't have fear now. However, God's children outside the occult are becoming confused by aggressive propaganda regarding the pride flag. For example, I was walking down embarcadero and noticed they put the pride flag over over the Harbor Police Department, and I've never seen it there before. And James Tallerico made world history and ignited the progressive base when he said God is non-binary on the House floor on October 14th, 2021. Seattle Public Schools reported an 853% increase in non-binary students over a three-year period. And the Pew Research Center found that 3% of young adults these days, under 30 identify as non-binary. And when you search non-binary on Google images, the first images that come up are of the pride flag. And there seems to be a problem here where the um domestic communist progressives are in the occult and trying to guide God's children to have a poor judgment. And um it this needs to be addressed.
