How do we give us a hug Oh, I don't know. Oh, I don't know. Oh, I don't know. Okay, it is 702, and I am calling 703. It is Tuesday, September 2nd, and I will lead us in the Pledge of Alle, liberty and justice for all. So we've got our announcement. The City of San Leandro conducts orderly meetings to fill its mandate and discriminatory statements of conduct that would potentially violate the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, and or the California Federal Employment and Housing Act, California Penal Code sections 403 or 415 are per se disruptive to this meeting and will not be tolerated. Please see the City Council handbook and the City Council meeting rules of decorum for more information. Madam Clerk, your announcement, please. Thank you, Mayor. If you would like to make a public comment during the meeting, you can do so in person or via Zoom. If you are present at the meeting, please complete a speaker card and submit it to the city clerk before the item is presented. If you wish to participate in public comment via Zoom, you can use the raise your hand tool when the item is called. During the public comment session, speakers will be invited to speak and will have a set time to share their comments. A countdown timer will appear for their convenience, and when the time is up, the microphone will be muted. All raised hands outside of public comment will be lowered to avoid confusion. Once public comment is opened, hands may be raised to speak. There will be a 30-minute window for public comments, which will take place under item 7, public comments as per the published agenda. After this time is up, the council will proceed with the rest of the meeting's agenda. If you have not had the opportunity to speak during the initial 30-minute period, there will be another chance to do so after item 12 City Council reports. Thank you.
