Okay, it's seven o'clock and I'm calling to order the city council meeting, standard of city council today. It's Monday, May 18th. And it's like I said, 7 p.m. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge the allegiance. So at this point in time, if we could have. I guess I'll do my announcement first. So today we've got the swearing in of an appointee. Uh, it's under section 10A. I'd like to move it to the section four recognitions. If there are no concerns, seeing no concerns, we will make that adjustment to our agenda. And uh let's see the city of San Leandro conducts orderly meetings for fill its mandate, discriminatory statements for conduct that would potentially violate the Federal Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty-four and or the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California Pial Code Sections 403 or 415 are per se disruptive from the meeting and will not be tolerated. Please say the city council handbook and city council meeting rules of decorum for more information, Madam Clerk. Thank you, Mayor. For purposes of our roll call. Present. Councilmember James Aguilar. Present. Councilmember Victor Aguilar. Present, thank you. Councilmember Fred Simon. Present. Councilmember Sue Bowen. Present. Thank you. Councilmember Dillon Bolt. Here. And Mayor Gonzalez. Present. Thank you. Now for our public comment announcement. 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. Then wait for public comment on that item to be called. 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. After the 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. So we did not have a closed section, closed session today, so there is no item three to consider. For item number four, we've got our 10A recognition, the motion to appoint and Rixon to the senior commission. We already took public comment during the nomination process. Are there any questions or follow-ups on this item? Seeing none, I believe that we can move straight to a vote. So if you would please vote. Okay. Can I please have a motion?
