Okay, thank you very much.

All right.

We do have a quorum.

So I will hand control of the meeting back to you, President Shaw.

Thank you so much.

So before we go into the actual items, I have a couple of announcements to make.

My first one is a warm welcome to our clerk of the board, Parker Johnson.

Welcome back.

He's sworn in today and he's ready to go.

And the second item is about the late submissions.

We do have a couple of late submissions that we will discuss as we go through the committees.

But there was one that I really want to bring into attention, which is not here.

On Friday, I did get a note from Vice Chair Kimperelli to add the two ordinances, the veto ordinances, one for the pet uh pet stores and the three ordinance to the uh late submissions.

Um we uh so we we did discussion with uh our majority leader Morrison and our parliamentarian, and we had asked for legal counsel because we were thinking that we based on what the charter interpretation is that we should just put that in the board item.

And so the corporation council did come back and they've clarified that um uh the that this committee's role with respect to the veto ordinances, and we don't need to put that in the steering at this time.

Um, but all four ordinances will need to be placed in our next regular board meeting, which is on January 5th.

Um so as such, we will not be placing those two items um at the steering committee this time.

But with that, we will proceed with the uh with the uh with the agenda here.

So the first is the honorary resolutions.

There are two resolutions here.

The first one is congratulating and thanking four former uh representative Mary Fidelity for her 30 years of service on the Board of Representatives.

And a second resolution is honoring uh Jackie Hefman on her more than 30 years of dedicated volunteer leadership to the people of Stamford.

Do I have a motion to pick up these items?

So move.

I hear uh um motion and a second.

Is that any discussion?

I'm sorry if I'm not seeing uh hands, but I'm just gonna go through it.

Uh and Ms.

Montel, if you see any hands, please just interrupt me.

Um seeing no hands, I think we will take this to a voice board.

Oh, uh, it looks like uh representative Zachary, are you here?

I think that's your hand.

He will unmute himself eventually.

But um, let's stick to the voice board.

All in favor of uh uh having placing these two items in the uh agenda, please say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Any abstentions?

Okay, those are on the agenda.

Okay, moving on to the standing committees, uh appointments committee.

Uh, which one of the co-chairs will be uh presenting this today?

I'll go ahead and do it.

Okay, go ahead, Gardner.

Uh as suggested by the uh director of operations, uh Matthew Gunanas, we're gonna go ahead and uh proceed with our appointments process overview from him.

Um should be a simple formulaic agenda item for the appointments committee next week.

Okay, so are you moving this item to the agenda?

Yes, please.

Okay, is that a second?

Second.

Okay, any discussion.

Seeing or hearing none, we'll take this by voice vote.

Sorry.

Is there any series?

What was the reason for the uh one that you're exempting?

Um this item is actually for the first time.

I'm sorry, who is this?

I'm sorry, Representative Bouchard.

Sorry, uh Representative Bouchard, you have to uh ask for the floor, and then I have to give it to you.

So just procedurally, if you raise your hand, I will I will recognize you, and then you can ask you a question.

So go ahead and ask your question.

Yep, representative Bouchard.

Okay, thanks.

Sorry for the violation of procedure.

I'll get it.

Um worries representative Bouchard.

The question is uh what is the reason behind the one uh item that's being exempted?

Um this is something that I this is for an item that uh representative McEwen uh suggested, which I'm actually in full favor of.

Uh but the proper the process we've always followed, especially for something uh of this uh dollar amount uh is gonna go through the uh the annual board office budget process, which is underway at the moment.

Uh so it a resolution to handle this item isn't necessary.

Okay, thank you.

Appreciate the background.

Any other hands, any other questions?

Okay.

Seeing none, we'll take this by voice vote.

All those in favor of moving those items, please say aye.

Opposed.

Any abstentions?

Okay, all those items will be placed on the agenda.

And uh Chair Morsen, would you like to inform the date and time and the uh meeting?

Yes, please.

Uh we will meet Monday, December 22nd at 7 p.m.

in the Democratic Caucus Room and hybrid as well.

And that concludes my report.

Thank you, Madam President.

Thank you so much.

Uh, before I move on for appointments, I would like to confirm um representative Gardner, your meeting will be on Thursday, December 18th at 6 30 p.m.

And is that just by webinar only or hybrid this time?

We would like it to be hybrid, Madam President.

Okay, thank you so much.

Notice.

Okay, let's move on to legislative and rules committee.

Chair McEwen.

Uh so with respect to legislative and rules, we have six items uh proposed for the committee agenda uh beginning at the top with LR 32.006, an approval of an agreement with sustainable strategies inc for federal lobbying services under RFP number 2025.0281 uh with respect to law departments file number a 25-0557.

Uh next item is uh LR 32.001, an approval for an amendment to the board of reps rules of order to strike out section 3a 19 and amend section 3a17 to operations and recuse me operations parks and recreation and to amend all references of parks and recreation to operations, parks, and recreation in the rules of order.

Uh the next item being LR 32.002, uh an approval for an amendment to the board of reps rules of order uh to strike out section A, excuse me, 3A11 and 3A113, and amend section 3A12 to housing education and commerce.

Amend all references of education and state and commerce to housing, education, and commerce in the rules of order.

Uh item LR 32.003 in approval uh for an amendment to the Board of Rules, excuse me, Board of Rep Rules of Order to strike out section five, uh rules of procedure, paragraph B55, and replace it with a submitted proposed rule change attached that is part of the legislative record currently.

Uh the next LR 32.004, uh review of section 214-32 of the code of ordinances to consider allowing the city to accept a private road without requiring a petition signed by 100% of the affected property owners.

And finally, LR 32.005, review of section 4E3 of the board's rules of order with respect to time for public comment to discuss potential revisions, including but not limited to deletion of the rule.

So at this time, I'd like to move to amend item number five, LR 32.004, to instead be um section 214.32 of the code and of ordinance by inserting the text, quote unquote, no less than two-thirds of, unquote, after the words, quote unquote, thereby, or excuse me, therefore by and before the words, quote unquote, of the owners.

So Chair McKeewen, do you want to just do the first vote items and then we'll do the amendment separately?

That way it's easier.

If you prefer my anticipation was to amend these items and then move for all six of them together.

Fair enough.

That's fine.

So we'll just take up the amendment of the fifth one right now.

So I say you move, and did I hear a second on this?

Second.

Second.

Okay.

Um any discussion.

Okay, see none.

We can try this by voice vote for the amendment.

Um, all those in favor of the amendment, please say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Any abstentions?

Okay.

That is amended.

Go ahead.

Um, I'd like to also move for an amendment with respect to item number six, LR 32.005, uh, to instead be an approval of an amendment of the board rules of order revising sections E3 as set forth in a document circulated to the committee and to be made part of the legislative record.

I believe tomorrow.

Okay.

Is that a second?

Second.

Okay.

Any discussion?

Seeing or hearing none.

We'll try this by voice vote.

All those in favor.

Oh, sorry, did you have your hand raised?

Sorry.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

So I just wanted to say with respect to this item.

Um, and though not relevant to the previous, um, the amendments are motivated here after having spoken with the representatives that submitted them in order to kind of improve the efficiency of the committee so that they're in a form that is more right for discussion.

Thank you.

Uh any other hands raised for any questions.

Okay.

Seeing none, we'll take this by voice vote for item number six.

All those in favor of uh making the amendment, please say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Any abstentions?

Okay, that item is amended.

So would you now like to move the items four plus the two amended items?

To make a motion to move items one through six onto the legislative and rules committee agenda.

Okay, is that a second?

Second.

Second.

Okay, any discussion.

Seeing or hearing none, let's try this by voice vote.

All those in favor of adding all these items to the agenda, please say aye.

Aye, aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed.

Any abstentions?

Okay.

All these items will be placed on the agenda.

And uh date and time of your meeting and your mode of uh meeting, please, Chair.

The next meeting is going to be on Tuesday, December 23rd.

And at this time it'll be by webinar only.

Um, but we'll update uh the committee members and members of the public if we have an in-person portion as well.

Great.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Okay.

Uh moving on to personnel committee.

Chair Weinberg.

Uh thank you.

Um the personnel committee will meet next Monday, December 15th at 7 o'clock p.m.

Uh by webinar.

Uh we have two items on the agenda and a third that I would like to put on the agenda as a late submission.

But let's take the first two uh first.

Okay.

Uh the first is P32.001.

It's a rejection item of the tentative agreement with the Board of Education and the parent facilitators, uh UPSEU local uh 24 unit 123.

This was submitted by Dr.

Fernandez and uh CFO Feely of the of the Stanford Public Schools.

Um item number two is P32.003, um, which is a review item of the city's HR policies and programs, uh, including the classification systems employment benefit programs andor post-retirement benefit programs for the education of the personnel committee members.

Uh for item two, I would like to move that on to the pending agenda.

Um the reason is is that um uh uh HR director Russell understandably will not have presentation, any any of these presentations prepared by next Monday, which I completely expected.

Uh so I'm totally comfortable moving it onto the the pending agenda with the approval of of this committee.

So uh if I can move that first onto the pending agenda, then we'll take up item one.

Um if that's okay, President Shaw.

Yes, so do you just want to move the I move to put the item number two, P3203 to move it to the pending agenda?

Okay, is that a second?

Second.

Any discussion.

Seeing or hearing none, let's try by voice vote.

All those in favor of moving this to the pending agenda, please say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Any abstentions?

Okay, so that is going to be moved to the pending agenda.

Okay, thank you.

So let's now move to item back to item number one, uh, which I would like to move on to the personnel committee agenda.

So I sort of.

Okay, is that a second?

Second.

Okay, any discussion.

Seeing and hearing none, let's try this by voice vote.

All those in favor of moving item number one to the agenda, please say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Any abstentions?

Okay.

Item number one is now moved to the agenda.

Then let's move to item number three.

So I am asking for the board for the committee to suspend the rules and uh accept this late submission for consideration.

But do you want me to read the submission?

So before you read it, I just like to make a like a procedural clarification.

So based on our board rules, it has been brought to my attention that we do not have to per se suspend the rules, but just to take up the item, we will need to uh we will require a vote of two-thirds of those present to um you know pass this item and put those put that in the agenda.

So with that, I will have you move this item and then to talk about it, and then we will take the vote.

And but it will be a two-thirds to put it.

Great.

Okay, so let me go ahead and just read it then.

So it's item number three, p32.002.

It's a again a rejection item of a tentative agreement between the board of education and the Stanford Administrative Unit.

Uh, that is uh mostly um school principals as well as some positions in the uh in the central and central office of the Stanford Public Schools.

Uh the reason for the late submission, of course, is that it uh it was brought to brought up to us by Dr.

Fernandez and uh CFO Feely uh this afternoon.

Um and there is of course because of the requirement that we that um the that this board rule on rejection or not within a certain time frame after uh the board of education has uh has accepted the contract.

Um we we need to do this post-haste, and that's the reason for the uh for putting it on the agenda and I so move.

Um is that a second?

Second discussion.

I see a hand from uh representative Hyatt go ahead, representative Hyatt.

Are you able to unmute yourself?

I didn't raise my hand.

I I see your hand.

Go ahead.

Okay, okay, avoid it.

Thank you.

Oh, you didn't raise your hand.

I'm sorry.

I thought I saw your hand.

No worries.

Okay, um other questions or discussion.

Uh we were planning to do hybrid and the item for the agenda is item one three two dot zero zero one resolution to opt into the municipal redevelopment authority uh and it's submitted by Leah Kagan.

Okay, are you moving this item?

Representative?

Uh I'd like to move this item to the land use and urban redevelopment committee agenda.

Thank you.

Is there a second second?

Second.

Any discussion.

Okay, seeing or hearing none, let's take this by voice vote.

All in favor of adding this item to the agenda, please say aye.

Any opposed?

Any abstentions.

Okay, this item will be added to the agenda for the legend uh for the land use committee.

Thank you so much, uh Representative Hughes.

The next is operations committee and uh representative Police.

Thank you, Madam President.

All right, the operations committee meeting will take place on Thursday, December 18th, 2025, uh 6 30 p.m.

and it will be by webinar.

All right, Madam President, I have three items today, and also one late submission.

So first we'll actually deal with the items one through three, and then we'll obviously go forward with the uh the late submission after.

All right, so item one.

We have 032-001.

This is a resolution concerning building permit fees on commercial projects exceeding one million dollars.

Item two, we have 032-002, and that is a review item.

Um it's an overview of the uh Office of Operations.

Item three is O32-op, sorry, period.

Um zero three, and that is the approval of the first amendment to the agreement with Fuss and O'Neill in pursuit to request for proposals.

Um 2025, period 0126, drainage assessments for areas of concern.

All right, madam president, I move that item one uh three two period 001 be placed on the steering committee pending agenda, and item two, uh three two period 002 and item three, oh three two period 003 be referred to the operations committee and placed on the next agenda.

Okay, let's do the pending one first.

So that's item number one, uh uh three two zero zero one.

Uh you're moving that to put it in the pending agenda, right?

Is that correct?

Yes, I move it.

Okay, is that is that a second?

Second.

Um any discussion.

Seeing Madam President, I'm sorry, I'm I'm having trouble.

My hand won't raise, even though it says that my hand is raising.

So I I just want to say ask a question.

Are these the same building permit fees that we just passed like two months ago on the 31st board?

My assumption is that that that's correct.

I'll be voting against looking at that.

So I don't know if you want to separate it from the the other things.

I we just passed this resolution only two months ago with lots of debate and months and months of working on this.

So I'm I'm very much against immediately erasing the things that the 31st board worked so hard on.

Vice Chair Camperley, which is why I think uh uh chair, the what chair and the vice chair intent is to move this to pending agenda as of now.

Okay, okay, thank you.

Thank you.

Is there any other any other questions, discussions?

I was told that for the pending items, we don't need to take a vote.

Is that correct?

Uh Majority Leader Morrison procedurally.

Yes, the chair can simply move, say they want to move it to pending.

Uh if there's any member of the steering committee who wishes to move it uh for consideration for the agenda anyhow, they can make that movement independent of the chair.

But simply to put it on pending is it's simply your request.

It's simply a statement of of intent.

Okay.

Uh uh by Chair Pelichia, if that's your uh that's your request, then we would move that to pending agenda.

Yeah, I move uh item one be placed on the pending agenda.

Perfect.

Thank you very much.

And then I had my hand raised for a question.

Sorry, I didn't see your hand, and I'm I'm not I don't know if their hands are not being raised, but um if you have a do you have a specific question on this item, representative Goldberg?

I do.

Okay, go ahead.

Okay, uh thank you.

Uh has anyone talked to the representative that proposed this item to let him know that you were gonna put it on pending or that it wasn't gonna be uh moved on to the agenda?

Is he is is he aware of that?

Yes, he is.

I think uh Chair Chair Sanford has already spoken to him.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, uh we'll move on to item number two, 032.002.

Uh you would like to move this item, uh, Vice Chair Politia?

Uh yes, I see the agenda.

Item, yep, item two and item item three, we'd like item three as well.

Yep.

Okay, item the operations committee agenda.

Okay, is that a second for those two items?

Second.

Discussion.

Uh Vice Chair Camp Rulli, do you have a question?
