We have one, Brian, go ahead

and make your way to the podium.

First of all, happy holidays to all of you.

Very wish, wish you a very happy new year and a very Merry Christmas.

I just wanted to bring up, I brought this up before and I believe one of you thought

about initiating this.

There's days of recognition throughout San Jose and there's sort of a general recognition

for crime victims, but there's not, if I'm not mistaken,

there's not a day where people who are victims of crime are acknowledged,

even honored, if you will, by the city.

Not that, I mean, the city does a lot for them.

I wrote something here.

I would encourage to look into it to see if there's a possibility of having a day.

Even a flag raising ceremony, I don't know what kind of flag you would raise.

It's sort of something I've just thought about.

but one thing you do when you go through Nextdoor

and a bunch of other places is people who are victims

of not only serious crimes, but somebody's tools are stolen,

that could be their entire job.

Their car is stolen, it's the only way they,

and it totally impacts their lives.

They might even be kicked out of their house

because they can no longer work.

Some kind of acknowledgement, I think,

would have a profound effect on people

who've gone through this, so anyway, thank you.

Back to the committee.

All right, thank you.

I think, is this our final?

This is our final rules committee meeting of 2025.

So happy holidays everyone,

and we'll see you in the new year.

We are adjourned, 2.05 p.m.

Thank you.
