roll ninth meeting of the city of west Sacramento City Council the West

Sacramento redevelopment agency and the finance we will begin with the land

acknowledgement we would like to acknowledge that on the land on which

we live work learn and commune is the original homelands of the indigenous

people of west Sacramento who have stewarded this land throughout the

generations we acknowledge and we thank the original inhabitants who have

occupied, maintained and secured this place and who still exist on this land. We respect

and celebrate the many diverse indigenous people still connected to this land on which

we gather. Council met in closed session this evening on the items listed in the agenda,

Mr. City Attorney, please provide a report. Yes, Madam Mayor. The council met in closed

session for the items listed on the agenda. No reportable action was made. We would like

to invite our guests to join council and staff in the pledge which will be led by Mr. Alex Hirsch.

Congratulations to the United States of America, the Republic, the Egyptian, invisible,

invisible, invisible, invisible. Thank you, Mr. Hirsch. As is noted on our agenda, City Council

is prohibited by state law from discussing or taking any action on items that are brought

up under item one for public comment, but it provides an opportunity for a public forum.

The public is given an opportunity at this time to address city council issues not listed on the

agenda. We do have an item on the agenda related to Bright Park and that Bright Park agenda item is

under the consent calendar. So if anybody's interested in speaking about Bright Park,

if you could please list the consent agenda item number and not speak under public comment for

that because I will ask you to pause and then wait until public comment if you do come up and speak

on that item. We do ask that anyone wishing to address the council on this or any other item this

evening to please fill out the request to speak card and return it to the clerk. And we accept the

request to speak cards up to the conclusion of the reading of the staff report on any particular

agenda item. Once the staff report has been read and we open the item up for public comment, the

clerk will announce your name for you to walk to the podium to speak. Now in front of the clerk,

there is a timer to ensure that everyone has a chance to be heard. And we ask that all comments

be limited to three minutes. Also in front of the clerk is an analog flip chart which indicates

which agenda item the council is currently considering. We also recognize that for some

speaking in public can cause anxiety so we request that there is no applause, blues, cat calls,

or other demonstrations. Other demonstrations. Furthermore, so that we maintain a civil discourse

here in the chambers, we ask that those in attendance and those who address the city council

abide by the code of conduct posted and not speak in loud threatening, offensive, abusive,

or other disrespectful language that disrupts, disturbs, or otherwise impedes the orderly conduct

of the meeting. So now this brings us to item one, presentations by the public on matters

not on the agenda within the jurisdiction of the council. Each person has three minutes to speak.

Madam clerk, do you have any requests to speak? Yes ma'am. Guy Stevenson.

Madam Mayor, City Council members, I had an interesting conversation with about three or four

people that come here to your City Council meeting and they stepped to me and they said,

Guy are you about regulations? And I said, yeah, I am as a matter of fact. And I think you know

where I'm going with this is that if any of the city workers here don't like the idea that I'm

bringing it up, that's too bad. I'm not going to stop. And you know what it has to do with? It has

to do with the food vendors that are here in West Sac that don't have licenses, don't have the health

department clear them. And they have to follow the rules. And if they're not going to follow the

rules, then why do any of these people on their own restaurants and own businesses, why do they

have to get licenses and stuff? So I asked one of my buddies who is called the area accountability.

He does a lot of stuff on YouTube. And I said, well, this is what we'll do if they don't want to

listen. Then what I'm going to do is I want you to go around and record these people. And I want you

to put it online. And that's what he's going to do because it's obvious that when you come in here

and you speak, some people up here might listen to you. Other people do not. So you know, they just

look at the ceiling or they just put their ears and close them and just say, I'm not going to listen

to that guy. Well, that's fine. Don't listen to me. I don't want you. But when you see you popping up

on YouTube about something and you're not doing it because of regulations that you don't want to

follow, then that's fine. And the other thing is I was going to bring up is the issue of people

signing in when they come in this building. That is a brown act violation. The only time that a

person is supposed to give him your name is when they fill out one of those cards. Coming into this

building is a brown act violation. If you want to check it out, you can. And so I'm about regulation

and I'm about the law. I mean, if you guys have a problem with that, I'm sorry, but that's just the
