I'd like to use the over. I'd like to ask the interpreter currently on the Spanish channel to commence translation of the meeting. For those just joining the meeting, live translation in Spanish is available, and members of the public or staff wishing to listen in Spanish can join the Spanish channel by clicking on the interpretation icon in Zoom toolbar. It looks like a glow. Once you join the Spanish channel, we recommend you shut off the main audio so you only hear the Spanish translation. Interpreter, will you please restate this in Spanish? Interpretación in vivo, Estara disponible y los membros del Publico or Personales can the CNECORANASELO. Sobre la vara de herramientas or the functions de Zoom. Una vez uno se canal, se recomenda Timkapagio Primario para que solo escuche la interpretación a la Spanna. All right. Welcome everyone to our April 25th, 2003 Santa Rosa City Council meeting. It is now 231, and we will be starting our meeting. I would like to welcome our Madam City Manager, Madam City Attorney, and our Madam Deputy Clerk that will be filling in today. Thank you for that. And all of my council members, thank you very much. Councilmember Stapp. Here. Councilmember Rogers. Here. Councilmember O'Krepke. Here. Councilmember Fleming. Here. Councilmember Alvarez. Vice Mayor McDonald. Here. Mayor Rogers. President. Let the record reflect all council members are present with the exception of Councilmember Alvarez. We will begin our meeting today with two closed session items. 2.1 conference with labor negotiators and 2.2 public employee appointment. Madam City Clerk, may you please conduct public comment. We are now taking public comment on item two. If you are in the chamber and would like to comment but have not provided a speaker court or your name, please make your way to the podium. If you are participating via Zoom, please raise your hand or dial star nine. You'll have three minutes and a countdown timer will alert at the end of that period. What you see here is a copy of your agenda, which I picked up yesterday. And if you'll notice in item two, it does not put in there what you're speaking about in the closed session. As you know, it's important that that be told before the meeting. At the same time, because there are so many restrictions on how you folks share information with the public. Now we challenge other autocratic dictatorial nations throughout the world. Trying to make sure they'll look into the democratic approach. So please look at this like yes, you want to make it open. It's something that has to be done though, according to our previous settlements. All right. Welcome back, everyone. We will now reconvene our meeting, seeing a quorum. Madam Deputy City Clerk, can you please call the roll? Councilmember Stapp? Here.
