The council also received a referral for an ordinance to ban data centers.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh. Do you want to do that? Okay, 707. I'm calling the City of San Diego. City Council meeting to order today is Monday, June 15th, 2026. I do apologize for the delay or closed session in about 702, and it just takes a while for us to get down here and assemble. Uh at this point in time, I'll let us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Join me if you're able to. I am present. Mayor Gonzalez. Present. Thank you. So the City of San Leno conducts orderly meetings to fulfill its mandate, discriminatory statements for conduct that would potentially violate the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 and or the California Employment and Housing Act. Madam Clerk, your 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 count on timer will appear for their convenience. And when the time is up, all hands will be muted. The microphone will be muted. All hands raised 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 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, City Council reports. Okay, moving to item number three. There was no reportable action taken during closed session. And we don't have recognitions on today's agenda, but we do move on to the consent calendar. So my question first is does anyone have an item that they want to pull for them from the consent calendar? And if not, I'll go to public comment on this item. Seeing none, let's go to public comment on the consent calendar. Mayor, we do not have any comment cards, but we do have one hand raised online. Okay. So we have opened and closed public comment in person, and we're opening it up online. Our online speaker is Douglas Spaulding. Thank you and good evening, Council. Um item 5D of the consent calendar is the uh final vote on on uh your annual military equipment um item. And I want to just reiterate something that I that I said when I came before, which is again there there is no need to replace the uh um disrepaired command uh vehicle. We've been using the backup just fine. So that's a that's an item that we can save money on. And the other thing that concerns me that's a potential money loser is that uh some of the uh military equipment is is what our police department would would use uh in case of a um a big demonstration uh slash mob action slash uh riot kind of situation, and that's when other municipalities such as Oakland, for example, have been doling out uh settlements to the tune of millions and millions of dollars. Unfortunately, we don't have a much, if any uh policy uh of crowd control or what to do in that situation, and I think it would really uh benefit the city to really spell it out so that we protect ourselves in the long run. Hopefully, nothing like that will ever happen here. Uh but uh there have been things that have come close, like you know, when the Dodge dealership was uh was raided a few years back, you know, uh, or when the police department of Prophecy to a riotous mob coming to Bayfair. That that I think turned out to be uh poor intelligence. Um but uh you know we talk about this every year and um and I brought this up every year, and yet we seem to never quite get down to brass tax when it comes to the crowd control policies. Thank you.
