All right, it's two o'clock.

So let's call today's meeting of the rules and open government committee to order and start with roll call, please.

Kendallas.

Here.

Duan.

Here.

Foley.

Kameh.

Here.

Cohen.

Here.

Thank you, Ovocorra.

Thank you.

We have one agenda to review, and that's the agenda for next week's council meeting on June 23rd.

That one has a 9:30 closed session and a 1.30 regular session.

And consent.

Consent starts on page five.

And continues on pages six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, and ends on page 13.

And section three, we have a proposed ballot measure to allow rank choice voting for filling vacancies.

In section five, we have actions related to a large format advertising sign request for SJC.

And Willows Key Willow Keys Corridor Improvement Project.

Section six, long-term power purchase agreement with Shell Energy and the 2026 integrated resource plan for SJCE.

And section seven, an amendment between our animal care services and the city of Milpetis.

Section eight, grant agreements for multiple um programs for homelessness, a home key uh project uh action for Branham Lane, and multifamily housing incentive for the Celee project.

And we have three items on land use consent, which will be heard immediately after regular consent.

We have public comment.

We do not.

Alright, back to the committee.

Okay.

All right.

Motion and a second, then we will vote.

Motion carries five zero.

Thank you so much.

And we have two items on our rules consent agenda.

Do we have public comment on consent?

We do not.

Okay.

Back to the committee.

We have a motion for consent.

Okay.

Let's vote on consent.

And the motion carries five zero.

And now we're on to our action item.

This is a policy analysis for vacant commercial storefront activation.

Remind me on this.

This one's coming back to us or this one is coming back to the rules uh committee chair.

There is a workload analysis a little bit different than the traditional method.

Um, this is a green and a yellow uh recommendation too.

And the memorandum will actually go to the city auditor, and he will be including that as a part of his 26-27 work plan.

Um and then the recommendations one and three are yellow lit, but as opposed to waiting uh, you know, six months until we start priority setting.

We do have the opportunity to bring those forward when PBCE comes forward in the fall with the citywide planning work plan and reprioritization by the council.

So we'll bring these items um into that meeting to have with the council.

Okay, do we have public comment on this item?

Yes, Jordan, please make your way to the podium.

Hi, I wanted to speak again in support of this item.

Filling our vacant storefronts is important.

Um, you know, it's unfortunate that this work wasn't able to be rolled into the upcoming fiscal year from the start.

Same with the work that Councilmember Tordillos was pushing for a few weeks ago with the ministerial approval.

We really need to figure out how to do this little bit of extra work in order to get rid of a lot of work moving forwards.

Um, and so I don't know how we do that, but I think it's it's very important to figure out how to do it.
