Deputy City Clerk, can you please pull the slide and make the Spanish announcement? Yes, this is the Spanish interpreter. I'll start. Oh, hold on one second, Claudia. Sure. Thank you. Good afternoon. I'd like to ask the interpreter currently on the Spanish channel to commence interpretation of the meeting. For those just joining the meeting, live interpretation 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 the Zoom toolbar. It looks like a globe. If you are on your cell phone or tablet, locate the three dots, tap them lightly and put a check mark on your preferred language. Click done to activate and begin the interpretation. Once you join the Spanish channel, we recommend you shut off the main audio so you only hear the Spanish interpretation. Claudia, please go ahead and restate this in Spanish. Yes, thank you. Today is the 24th of September, and we'll be starting our meeting. Councilmember McDonald. Here. Yes, we do need to have you.
