The City Council met on Monday, June 1, 2026 at 7:00 PM in the City Hall Council Chambers, with Councilmember Victor Aguilar participating via teleconference from Groveland, CA. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Juan González III, who led the Pledge of Allegiance. Roll call established all seven councilmembers present. The meeting covered a consent calendar, a public hearing on rental program fees and loan, a motion to reconsider a prior urgency referral regarding Lake Chabot Road, and various council reports and announcements.
The meeting adjourned at 9:40 PM.
Okay, so it is seven o'clock, and I am calling to order the City of San Leandro City Council meeting. Today is Monday, June 1st, 2026. At this point in time, if you're able to stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance, please do. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. Madam Clerk, would you please take our role to establish quorum? Councilmember James Aguilar. Council Member. Present. Councilmember Bowen. Present. Council Member Bolt. Here. Vice Mayor Vivero Swalton. I would like to tell my son that I am present at work. Thank you. Uh Councilmember Aguilar, Victor Aguilar, if you are on the Zoom call. We are looking for you. Councilmember Victor Aguilar is presently absent. Thank you. And I am present. Just saying. Let's have some fun. Okay, so a couple of announcements. First item 10A. The appointment swearing in of a new youth advisory commission has been removed from the agenda as the appointee is graduating from high school and is no longer eligible to be part of the youth advisory commission. For item four A, our proclamation recipient is going to be a little bit delayed, and so we'll just kind of handle that. We'll try to weave that in when the recipient arrives. And for this evening, we have a presentation that was scheduled under 9A that's relatively short. And I'd like to move this up to section four in recognitions because this is basically a recognition of city staff and great things that are happening in the city. And so if there are no objections to that, we will move that item into uh our slot number four for our agenda. Okay. Madam Clerk, your announcement, please. If you would like to make 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 we'll 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 comment on items not on the agenda, which will take place under item seven 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, the city Council reports. Okay, at this point in time, we'll move to our closed session report. Was there any reportable action taken? No reportable actions were taken in closed session. Direction was provided to staff. Thank you for that report. So at this point in time, we will take our agendized item on the recognition, the presentation from the California Association of Local Economic Development. I believe that we do have uh economic development manager Katie Bowman who's going to make the introductions to get us rolling on this item.
