Okay, I think we are going to get started.

Good evening, everyone.

It is Monday, February 2nd, 2026, and I called the regular committee of the board of representatives to order.

The time is 7:35 E.M.

The invitation tonight will be delivered by Representative The Obros.

Evening everyone.

This past Saturday in the synagogue, our weekly reading from the Torah was Mashal, which translates to the first words of the text.

When far let the people go.

In this reading, we followed the Israelites on their journey out of Egypt through the desert as God performs many miracles for them.

You need it for your leadership, Moses and Aaron.

Throughout this episode, the Israelites are anything but willing followers of Moses and Aaron.

He routinely expressed doubt that they'll survive their voyage.

So God's advice for them each side miracle after miracle.

When being pursued by Faro, they complained to Moses that they would have been better off staying in slavery in Egypt.

Soon after this miraculous escape from danger, he complained the water available to them is undrinkable.

So God has Moses sweetened the water for drinking.

They then complain for lack of food and say they would rather have died in Egypt, so at least they could they could eat.

So too, then God provides them with quails to eat in the evening, and rings down from the sky in the morning for sustenance.

Governing is a difficult task.

From the perspective of the people, it's easy to lose sight of the journey where our leaders are taking us and our reason for setting out this electing us to represent them.

The good people of Stanford have taken a leap of faith to trust us with the city's longer term welfare.

They will question what we give its body and the direction we are heading in, as is the right and appropriate in any democratic society.

For the Israelites, it's likewise big leap of faith to follow Moses through the desert and to trust in God delivering them after several hundred years enslaved in Egypt, even after being singled from miracles.

So I blessing so let us have the patience of Moses and Aaron to listen to the people and find solutions to problems.

Let us have their humility to ask for help when we need it and when the path already isn't clear.

Like Moses and Aaron, let us not forget the big picture.

The promises we ran on and our vision of a city which works for everyone, which should guide us in every decision.

I want all board members of there's very evening to consider uh taking such a meaningful step by voting in favor of this proposed item, which is about 32.032, which authorized as a support for all us different stampers students and all schools are by increasing uhdoor activities of epic resources of protesting all the bicycle girls and bike help as for them to be protected from getting harmed for during daytime hours and showing that students who are to be participating in many types of outdoor activities or to enjoy themselves to follow follow the rules of an experience of adventurous moments of let's look out for the boys and girls of the step of public schools in the middle middle school school so they can be prepared for the upcoming summer beginning in the month of June.

Thank you from Kieran Matthew Edmondson.

Thank you, Mr.

Edmundson.

Um next speaker is Ms.

Dolores Gambini.

She's supposed to be in person.

I don't see her here.

Ms.

Gambini, are you online?

She is not online.

Okay, she's not online.

Okay, we can go back and see if she's either coming or scan.

Move on to the next speaker.

It is Miss Gina Calabries.

Ms.

Calabriz, are you online?

She is online.

Okay.

Can you yes, I was trying to unmute.

Yes, we can hear.

Okay, thank you.

Um, good evening.

It is a it is a leading principle of the Democratic Party these days to be for inclusion.

Yet this board is seriously considering a rule that would impose restrictions on public comment and is erecting obstacles to public participation.

The first issue is the requirement that only people who sign up ahead of time may speak.

There is good reason to have a list of how many people plan to speak.

However, to exclude anyone else from speaking if they had not signed up ahead of time is anti-democratic.

There could be a reasonable amendment to this rule to allow people to speak even without signing up ahead of time, subject to time being perm being available that night.

There's no good reason not to allow that.

Um, and they may not be on top of all the comings and goings and the rules of the board of representatives.

By excluding such people, which this rule will do, you are excluding public voices, the voices of constituents who have elected you and who you have a responsibility to represent since they delegated their power to you.

The second part of the rule that's also troubling is the restriction on what someone can say.

I do understand the need for decorum and for there not to be coarse and vulgar language and attacks at these meetings, but the term personal attack on a board member is vague to an unconstitutional extent.

The board of education was considering restrictions a little over a year ago.

And former president of the board cautioned the members that you cannot restrict what someone says, and they had an opinion from the Board of Education's attorney to that effect.

Has this board consulted corporation counsel about the constitutionality of this rule?

It seems to me that many of you are quick to seek an opinion from council when you believe it is going to support one of your actions.

I believe that if you sought that opinion now, it would not support this restriction.

I see no good faith reason for this.

It's anti-democratic, and it's an effort to control the public discourse that happens openly at these meetings.

If you pass this, I for one will not vote for you, and I think you should hang your heads in shame if you vote for these restrictions.

Thank you, Miss Calabries.

Our next speaker is Mr.

Dave Adams.

Mr.

Adams, are you on line?

Where's supposed to do this?

Mr.

Adams, can you get us now?

Mr.

Adams, are you able to unmute?

Yes, I've just been able to unmute.

Go ahead.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the board.

Uh my name is Dave Adams.

I'm from Glenbrook.

And I want to follow up on a couple things that uh Ms.

Calabarese had talked about.

Um, well, first of all, uh the whole action of taking LR 32.005 and considering it at the in the same exact time as you are considering LR 32.010 with all of the, you know, if you look at uh 005, you you are talking about a document that includes the entire section, section 10 of called public comment, and then in LR 32.010, you are uh what happened out of at a committee was that you removed all of section 10 except for added language added to the back end, and that that added language, it's not just board members, it's anybody.

And what is a personal attack?

Before I get there, I want to make it clear that it's it's completely out of process.

You are violating process by considering the same language, yeah, and then adding it into another item that you are considering at the exact same time.

You can't you can't do that, and you can't just uh you know selectively remove a section that you want to add to section 10 when the the previous item included all of section 10.

So that that being said, what is a personal attack?

Right?

We're done you know, on the last board.

I was accused of making personal attacks when I was just being critical of the behavior of certain members of this board of that board because they were attacking other people on the board, and they weren't just attacking other people on the board, they were attacking members of the public, and that behavior continued throughout the 31st board.

It wasn't isolated to you know, just when we you know, no.

No, that behavior continued, and I imagine that that behavior is going to continue.

And if you're gonna tell people, members of the public that they can't stand up for you, stand up for themselves, stand up for each other, then you are doing a great disservice to the city.

It is really important to get the opinions of the people that have the gumption to come up and stand in front of that mic.

You know, not everybody is good at standing at a mic.

It takes courage to go up there.

I don't think you should be doing anything to limit public comment.

And last thing, the speed cameras, it's like you're not even paying attention to what the public conversation is.

You just keep listening.

Thank you and have a great night.

Okay, our next speaker is Mr.

Arthur Gaskin.

He is here in person.

Hello.

My name is Arthur Augustin.

I live downtown this time.

Um I live downtown.

Um, this board has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hold the identity of Stanford.

I'm speaking today to encourage this board and its leadership to lead on the issue of housing by initiating a charter revision committee and enshrine rules that support the development of housing.

Everyone here knows there is a lot of passion opposing development, but we know the public does not oppose development.

We have more than eight years of election data showing whatever anti-development is on the ballot, it loses, including the most recent election.

And while anti-development may frequently lose, we know this faction will never stop trying.

So I'm asking this board to fight back.

We know that we know what the public wants, but often progress is stalled by fear, an aversion to risk taking that robs our city of its future.

Now, on this issue, the data is clear.

Stanford residents want more housing.

And this board can deliver the list to make that possible.

Stanford's charter is more than a governing document.

It states our values.

While the revision is required every 10 years, nothing is stopping this board from starting that process today.

This item can be added by the steering committee and approved by 27 members of this 40 member board.

With the charter revision on the table, the board could do a lot of things, but the one that I want to focus on is enshrining Stanford as a pro-housing city.

For example, the city, or sorry, the charter could state if the average housing cost in a neighborhood exceeds 30% of the mediums in home pay, then the board of representatives could gain the power to approve land use projects.

This would be this this power design grant the board the ability to block the projects, and it only gives it the power if that circumstance is met.

Essentially, it is the power to recognize the government has failed to divide the one thing everyone in the city needs, which is a place to live that they can afford.

The specific language would have to be scrutinized, but that's why the charter process is long.

It requires interviews, months of meetings, and the approval from this board before the public even gets a chance to vote on it.

It is possible we may get a repeat of the 2023 vision process, which ultimately resulted in nothing.

That's how democracy works.

You have 30 seconds.

Now is the time for a leader on housing, and you don't need to wait for the mayor to act.

In fact, I'm fairly confident she won't act because she's incapable of taking risks.

But this board can lead.

Thank you, Mr.

The Stan.

Our next speaker is Mr.

Josella.

Ms.

Hughes, do you see him online?

No, he's not online.

Stella, if you are in a phone number, could you raise your hand so we can move you?

The last speaker here just says Stanford resident, and I don't have a number or anything.

So if anybody has signed out and did not provide, if you are in a phone number, please raise your hand.

So I think I don't know who this uh Stanford resident is.

Feel free to email us if you are not able to speak tonight.

Okay, that concludes our public participation session.

Thanks for all the speakers that spoke today.

Uh we will now move on to our standing committees.

Uh the question of the steering committee is in a motion to make steering committee report.

Yeah, and there's a motion and a second.

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

One clarification, if you're rejecting, if you want to approve the rejection, I mean yes.

So if you want to approve the rejection, correct.

But if you if you want if you're supporting the item, you basically vote no.

Sorry, go ahead, adjunct more.

So thank you.

To clarify this is a rejection item.

Uh to close out prior project.

So that means the request from uh the submitter is that this being rejected.

The rules say that we must do it as a rejection, not an approval to close out.

So to reject the rejection, you vote no that satisfies the desire of the item submitted.

So if you're in favor of this item, you're voting no to reject the rejected.

We do not want to reject the close out.

So you vote no.

The opposite of what you would instinctively want to be in.

The second change is put in where it says um to insert the words in may also provide uh city or town of residence and board district if known so that um people who sign up are not required but are encouraged to uh provide that information.

Um and the third if you script can scroll down a bit.

And the third is um somehow it's not appearing, so I will read that into this part of the I was just put up here.

Well, I'll I'll I'll read I'll read this.

Um so there's a um section five is cut off, although it's um not any it should read speakers shall be heard in the order listed on the speakers list we've uh that's not a change from before and then there is a section VI Barbara will start a read a scene uh so in the on the so just add the words after on the add the word speakers list, and then a section Di, which reads as follows if time remains in the public comment period, comma and the event that comma in the president's sole discretion, comma the president concludes that an individual who wishes to address the board was either unaware of or could not meet the sign up requirement, comma subject to all other rules regarding the public comment period uh representative.

Uh is the text after board district going if no also supposed to be highlighted in blue to represent that it's being added by this amendment.

Uh if known is is um yes, should be in blue.

Thank you.

Okay, but that is that is that the words if known are an amendment to what was passed and committed, right?

We have to do this amendment, and then we can okay.

I guess we can amend it.

We change our minds.

So we change our mind all the time.

Was either unaware of or and then add the word and could not meet the sign up.

Say that again.

So it would read the move that an individual represented could address the board, and it could not be the sign up required.

Okay, we need it.

Okay, is that a second for this amendment?

Any other discussion, either on this amendment or the amendments report on that side.

Point of order.

Yes.

Yes, it walls.

Go ahead.

Yes.

Yeah.

Sorry, I am not sure I understand your your question.

I was thinking maybe it would make the deadline and requirement.

Are you suggesting making an amendment?

You turn up the word requirement, change it to make out the resting.

You're asking, I'm not if you're asking a question with a change, or you're just suggesting, make a discussion here.

Suggestion, okay.

And replace that with let's move on to the discussion and we'll come back to you.

Yes.

Yes, I I would submit that meeting the deadline is the requirement.

Uh so I think keeping the word requirement means meeting the dead.

Uh and providing one thing.

So there are requirements in addition to the to the the time, the timing requirement.

It's also the requirement for the vital.

Any other discussion?

Yes, open David Delicos.

Or maybe listen up too closely on the one and assume the default.

Okay.

Oh, folks.

So I just microphone side.

So yeah, prevent that will are on any vote.

So thank you, representative.

Any other discussion.

Okay, seeing none, we will just take a vote to um uh or take up the uh representative police amendment.

So I didn't say no other discussion on any other opposition.

We'll just try this by voice vote.

So all those in favor of just making the one change in number six taken out was either not a was either unaware of and adding and could not please say I.

Any opposed abstentions?

Okay, so that amendment passed.

Now we are back to representative Weinberg's amendment, which is all the ones indicated in uh I guess blue, if they all work correctly.

Um any other discussion on yes, yes.

Uh what is down there is B is it's could be script.

That would actually take it out by the committee.

Yes, would it number the B?

Okay, delete it.

Yes, don't want to miss cut up, so leave it against all of it or all of B was was deleted by the committee.

Correct, you hear the boundary one of that was clear.

Point of order?

Yes.

For the purposes of this vote, we are only considering the changes in blue, not necessarily what could be on the screen saying we're doing said so forward.

But what um representative weinberg is making me sure is that that wasn't the ordinary one that we I mistake ignored, so we just wanted to make sure that wasn't part of it.

I would have to check the check okay.

Yeah, Chairman.

Do you have sorry?

I'm I miss I miss, I missed that.

Hold on till I finish talking.

So you so are you good then I agree with Majority Morrison that the motion before the board now is just approval of that amendment, irrespective of what the rest of the test has said.

Okay, but just but that wasn't it, that was in the original content of the LR03205, is my question because I don't have that original original motion about with me.

So I just wanted to make sure.

I'll seek to confirm that, but that will impact the motion for the work.

Okay, got it.

Um representative Weinberg, did you have any other comments?

Yes, I'm I'm looking at what I think mic, sir.

I I'm looking in the legislative record, but I think was approved by the committee, and the only part of B with the committee struck was the last sentence, sorry, the person.

Okay, good.

So we're going to go forward and and um approve the amendments that you have suggested.

Any any more discussion on that?

We know the discussion.

Let's try this by voice for as well.

All those in favor of approving all the amendments as uh you know indicated on the screen and was uh you know presented by representative weinberg, please say aye.

Okay, just to make sure.

Thank you.

Did we get everybody's talk?

I've got five extension and we're naming uh yes.

Okay, so those amendments passed 31 to five, but with noted five extensions.

Uh now we will go back to approving the the item as amended.

So is that any other discussion on yes, Jim McLean?

Um so to clarify on the earlier comments may that last purvey.

Um so the personal attack all the way through the board member, that was stripped in by committee, the rest of you okay.

Thank you.

Uh with that, uh Jenny.

Thank you, Madam President.

Uh I would make a motion to approve item LR32.00.

Um I'd actually like it to make a motion to suspend the rules.

Item LR 32.010 out of order as it was related.

Um, or the same subject matter with only 32.005.

Okay, so there is a motion to suspend the rules and there's a second, so we will have a second one.

So we will uh have to take this by local vote for this is to suspend the rules on taking up item LR 3201 so all right in the uh sustention of rules, representative yes, yeah, representative.

Yeah, representative Johnson, just to clarification, the suspension of the rules is just to take up the items out of order, and please you need that by no worries.

Would you like to change?

Okay, representative yes, that uh representative.

Yes, representative, yes, representative, yes, representative.

Yep.

Yes.

Representative field.

Yes.

Representative.

Yes, Mr.

Clerk.

Representative.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

Representative.

Yes.

Representative?

Yes.

Representative pilot.

Yeah.

Yes.

Is that voluntary and just yes?

Yes.

Regulator payout.

Representative.

Yes.

Open price.

I've literally there extended.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Representative.

Yes.

Representative winder.

Yeah.

Weird.

Yeah.

Definitely big.

Yeah.

Uh but we need back here.

Yes.

One more with the remaining present voting yes.

Thank you.

That's means the two-thirds and uh the motion to suspend the rules to take up LR 32010 passes.

Thank you, Madam President.

At this time, I will sort of like to make a motion to divide the question by separately considering the text in what is section F of this document or whole personal attack will be considered disruptive comment.

It will not be committed whether or not the speaker identifies the target of such comment findings otherwise, and the other part being the main or the document.

Okay, so there's a motion just with the divide the question to say that again to take up can you repeat that again?

Yes, madam.

Uh so the motion was to divide the question by separately considering the text and section, subsection that personal attacks will be considered disruptive conduct and will not be committed whether or not the speaker identified the target of subcomments by name or otherwise in the other part meaning uh the rest of the document.

Okay, and those is that a second second.

Okay, any discussion on just division of the question.

See now you're gonna ignore take this five more school.

All those in favor are uh permit the division of the question.

Please say aye.

Any posts?

Okay, extension theory.

Okay, noted uh one extension for this item for the patient, Madam Chair, this time um other those two questions for the home for discussion.

Your discussion.

Okay, so let's call the controversial item.

Uh not but not the personal attack one, the other one discussion on that question, any discussion, which would it be helpful if we put that in the end of the yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, it's all I think it is a long document, but um it might just be easier to just go for an incident.

Okay, so this is the document that was uh this was approved in committee, and the only uh thing we did here is divide the question to take up that original attack piece uh second.

So we will first move forward if there are no further discussion on this, we'll move forward.

Um, point of information, so yes, because we're previously a pretty section already up with helmet that is now a part of this document right now, not just yet, right?

Because we have that's a separate item that is being taken up separately.

We would eventually incorporate that into the board rules, but right as of now that stands as it we can write those grammatical letters, yeah.

We can we can go back and seven part of it actually.

I don't know what it up more.

Representative Adams, did you have a question?

Yeah, could you enhance that a little more on the screen?

Oh, enhance it.

Yes, sorry.

Is that better?

Yeah.

Yes, that's better.

Okay.

So again, this is to do we divided the question.

So we're looking into everything else except the personal attack subset subsection.

So if there are no other discussion on all of that, we can move to take that by voice for yes, point more.

No, point of clarification.

The are we the red line is being redacted, correct?

I don't want that to be for what we're what has changed.

So this version of LR 32010.

So this was completely approved in the committee.

So the only thing we're doing here is we we divided the question, which means we're taking it as two separate questions.

So everything in this document we're discussing except the one subsection that says personal attacks will be considered because we're gonna take that as a separate discussion since we divided the question.

Does that make sense?

Okay, I guess any other questions with us now.

Okay, all right.

Uh let's take this by voice vote.

All those in favor of approving this subsect or this section, excluding the personal exact tax subsection, please say aye.

Any opposed any abstentions?

Okay, ram abstains noted, but this this subsection passes with a noted abstention.

Now let's move on to the subsection.

Yes.

So uh if we can turn if we can scroll to in this file, what is section 10 view uh so section 10 day?

Um move to a recommit section 10 day to uh just here okay.

Any discussion on good to hear once in a while.

Uh yes, even my problem.

Any discussion on this moving to recommend this to steering okay seeing none, let's try this by voice vote.

All those in favor of the recommending this subsection to steering, please say aye.

Any opposed tensions you're opposed or you obtain your opposed.

Okay, so then let's uh take this by Robo.

Let me just change it to uh representative Adams.
