1
00:00:02,220 --> 00:00:16,800
Good afternoon, everyone. It is 5 PM. We're running 10 minutes late. It's April 25, 2017, and I'm calling to order the meeting of the two of the city council. Madam clerk, would you please call the roll.

2
00:00:17,620 --> 00:00:21,960
Council member, are you there? Council member Diaz? Council member Mackan?

3
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:28,940
President, Council Member Padilla, Mayor Cassia Salas, President, Mr. Padilla, will you leave some pledge?

4
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,080
Please stand and join me in the pledge of allegiance to our flag.

5
00:00:34,180 --> 00:00:41,220
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States, and to the Republic of which it stands.

6
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:47,320
One nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

7
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,080
Today, I'm going to ask you to remain standing for a moment of silence.

8
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:59,140
This week is whole-cost remembrance week, and so I'd like to call for a moment of silence

9
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:06,760
to honor all those that perished during that time and also for refugees that are suffering

10
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,300
now.

11
00:01:14,590 --> 00:01:15,470
You may be seated.

12
00:01:17,750 --> 00:01:24,090
We have a lot of great presentations today, and the first one is a presentation by

13
00:01:24,090 --> 00:01:30,490
Ben Vallejo's Executive Director of the Living Coast Discovery Center regarding an update on the

14
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:34,430
Living Coast Discovery Center and its 30th anniversary.

15
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:42,850
Hi, my name is Ben Vallejo, and I'm the Executive Director of the Living Coast Discovery Center.

16
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:48,150
Thank you Madam Mayor, Council members, City Manager, and I will say this to all of you

17
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:52,850
to speak about the ribbon cuts to light. The ribbon cuts is just about to complete the

18
00:01:52,850 --> 00:01:56,150
current chain of the software that you've been in with the city and I would like to

19
00:01:56,150 --> 00:01:59,610
highlight a few of our catfish roots over the last three years.

20
00:02:09,540 --> 00:02:10,580
Our machine is inspired

21
00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:16,320
care and exploration of a ribbon earth by collecting people with coastal plants, animals and habitat.

22
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,740
And this year the ribbon cuts is celebrating its 30th year of doing this mission. And it's been

23
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:29,100
Seven years since the nonprofit has taken over the operations of the major center.

24
00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:33,960
I think we all know the difficulties of the living class in the major center has had over

25
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,840
the last nine years, especially especially in the first three years of operations of the nonprofit.

26
00:02:42,790 --> 00:02:46,990
But in recent years, we have turned the corner and learned a solid path towards financial sustainability.

27
00:02:47,810 --> 00:02:53,250
For the past three years, the living class has operated in the black with revenues exceeding expenditures

28
00:02:53,250 --> 00:02:58,430
for three consecutive years. In the first twenty-six years of the

29
00:02:58,430 --> 00:03:02,510
urbanization assistance, the Nature Center had never operated on the

30
00:03:02,510 --> 00:03:06,770
press-side of the leather. We are seeing the slide that in recent years, we have

31
00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:12,030
suddenly increased gross revenues, all keeping expenses in line and maintaining a

32
00:03:12,030 --> 00:03:16,230
balance budget. In addition, our financials have been audited by independent

33
00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:20,350
auditor and in each of the past three years, the auditor gave the River Coast

34
00:03:20,350 --> 00:03:24,530
Governor Sennler, a clean, un-fedified grading, the highest rating possible.

35
00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:28,850
So, I'm proud to say that the living curves have had three successful years, and

36
00:03:28,850 --> 00:03:32,290
it has come operating with the city, with the city.

37
00:03:32,810 --> 00:03:34,670
So, how have we been able to do this?

38
00:03:34,730 --> 00:03:37,010
We've been able to be successful for many reasons.

39
00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:43,570
First, by providing a quality, a great experience for guests and families and students.

40
00:03:44,230 --> 00:03:47,670
Last year, we had over 70,000 guests visit the living curves.

41
00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:57,770
But 20% for last year, and general mission, sorry, and general mission is up 10% and we also have over 5,000 members.

42
00:03:58,350 --> 00:04:04,430
And our data show that approximately 75% of our guests come from outside of the zip code of true risk that.

43
00:04:04,750 --> 00:04:11,570
We are able to track these guests through the room close to the city by providing new and exciting hands-on exhibits and programs.

44
00:04:13,110 --> 00:04:19,990
Lastly, we probably completed the first capital campaign project in over 10 years of the enhanced

45
00:04:19,990 --> 00:04:20,730
children again.

46
00:04:21,210 --> 00:04:25,330
This exhibit is not almost three times larger, which allows the tourism to be more fit,

47
00:04:25,330 --> 00:04:26,570
feeling, and the pool.

48
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:31,250
And it also feels like they're the graphics, and tripled elements, we're just to learn about

49
00:04:31,250 --> 00:04:33,290
the recent children that lived in Sunday, over there.

50
00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:40,390
This year we are featuring back to the recent exhibition exhibition, featuring some fan

51
00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:47,210
of the past, including the mass-house and the being of Grana. This exhibit encourages guests to escape the

52
00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:53,110
confines of the urban jungle and get back to nature. I hope everyone can come to see the visit and

53
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:59,730
see this exhibition before it comes to the end on Labor Day. Another key element to our success is every

54
00:04:59,730 --> 00:05:05,290
need and updated and expanded focus on standard space and environmental education programs.

55
00:05:06,270 --> 00:05:11,390
Our esteemed focus programs are not only popular with students and teachers, but also resident

56
00:05:11,390 --> 00:05:15,670
graduates from the Federal Institutes of 30s programs, because of these sponsorships, many

57
00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:20,110
of these programs offer that low class or low class to which local students and school

58
00:05:20,110 --> 00:05:23,550
of VISTA and students throughout the entire San Diego region.

59
00:05:24,330 --> 00:05:29,210
Last year, across the 8,000 students from the Tour of the Social Elementary School District,

60
00:05:29,210 --> 00:05:34,670
a term that I close to education program and close to education and future programs.

61
00:05:35,170 --> 00:05:39,910
And for those who are unable to come to our site, we've got into local classrooms, libraries

62
00:05:39,910 --> 00:05:43,290
and community centers where we reached over 15 hundred students.

63
00:05:43,930 --> 00:05:48,690
In addition, over 35 hundred students participated in a week-round while-like day-camps

64
00:05:48,690 --> 00:05:51,850
and hundreds more in exciting overnight programs.

65
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:59,200
Another key contributor to access when the past three years is at increased Femoisee efforts.

66
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:14,340
We are annual founded very event, our consistent focus on corporate and foundation plants, and by strengthening relationships with community members and supporters, we have generated consistent donations to over 50% of the revenue generated over the last year.

67
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:29,100
Some of the key elements include a focus on anger and membership, online giving opportunities, and third party events that have been affected by the ribbon curse, including a run on the rare out of front, a rare time industry mixer to benefit the ribbon curse.

68
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:34,900
And we continue to see the world creative revenue generating opportunities that are in line with our mission.

69
00:06:35,620 --> 00:06:40,580
And with this new revenue generation, our economic impact to the local economy has been significant.

70
00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:50,900
For the last three years, four million dollars were contributed to the local economy and directed spaces such as salary and operation of expenditures.

71
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:58,360
We currently declare over 35 paid quality staff in meaningful jobs.

72
00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:03,200
We have over 300 volunteers, spending their time and money into a VISTA.

73
00:07:04,140 --> 00:07:08,060
I mentioned earlier that approximately 75% of these guests come from outside

74
00:07:08,060 --> 00:07:10,080
to a VISTA, ZIP codes.

75
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,920
Again, these guests are coming to a VISTA spending their time and money at local restaurant

76
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,600
shops and at local businesses.

77
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:25,360
And our relationships with local businesses, the community, school districts and other governmental

78
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,080
agencies have never been stronger.

79
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,620
From a true-visual elementary school district and rural childhood school programs and our

80
00:07:31,620 --> 00:07:36,620
site, to fish in our lives, to the planet San Diego, to cooperate with members such as

81
00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:41,600
rural networks and previously new T.C.R. space systems, to partnerships with the county,

82
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,380
as C.G.A.D.E. Spats and other local businesses. We are also active members in South

83
00:07:46,380 --> 00:07:53,380
County, E.D.E.E.E.T.R.R.B., the Chamber of Commerce, O.V.R.P., Montenegro, San Diego, and the

84
00:07:53,380 --> 00:07:58,340
risk lives on. In addition, we're moving to Australia's support and purchase space and events

85
00:07:58,340 --> 00:08:03,780
throughout the city. One of these activities in the team at the Cleanup Program, sponsored

86
00:08:03,780 --> 00:08:08,880
and part by grant from the Tour of Australia Foundation, where we can play up throughout the city,

87
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,280
including J-Shoot, Marina, Max, Field, you built this pack, and many of our locations in

88
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:14,820
Tour of Bister.

89
00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:20,680
We regularly participate in local TV events, with add-with-out add-with-out add-with-out

90
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:27,380
programs, such as hybrid-fest, style-out parade, Tour of Bister, Femran, over the IPD,

91
00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:30,740
one-and-ffest, and even the Faculty of Publicity Historic Heart.

92
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,400
We also applied with the local, Clio Company Tour of Bister, Clio Act, to provide

93
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,440
bad image or tours and staff sent me a bag, and the tour of this reserve, we note on that bad

94
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:47,060
event corner that is the mirror kayaking. And the one next to it, she's there heading

95
00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:55,900
a snake at one of her outreach programs. So, he got petting a snake. Yes, so, yes, so if all

96
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:03,220
of our programs, events and activities, living courses, increases efforts to promote our

97
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:11,320
on site, live these segments, in senior interviews, annual reports, paid advertising, and of course social media.

98
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,740
All of this helps to promote the RIMCUS and the City of Trilovista.

99
00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:19,740
As I mentioned earlier, the RIMCUS is celebrating its third with Anniversary.

100
00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:25,440
We'll be holding several events throughout the year, including a history of the Trilovista Nature Center,

101
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:32,140
social media campaign where we invite guests to share online, their favorite moments and photos of the Trilovista Nature Center.

102
00:09:32,140 --> 00:09:37,820
but on the left corner, that's supervisor, Clarkson and Mayor Greg Cox, and there's some

103
00:09:37,820 --> 00:09:39,660
forensic classes that he's wearing.

104
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:47,240
We also have a July 4th anniversary, the public events, with a close-for-life fundraising

105
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,680
campaign, the 7th Annual Founder Bay fundraiser, this year we're honoring Supervisor

106
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:59,260
Cox, a free community day in October, called Animals in the Bay Day, and finally, a special

107
00:09:59,260 --> 00:10:04,420
The 30th Anniversary cocktail event on October 21st, on Monday's headmates a difficult

108
00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:07,880
impact to the major center and the living coast over the last 30 years.

109
00:10:08,460 --> 00:10:13,040
I hope that we have found time for the year to enjoy these events and to celebrate 30

110
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,740
wonderful living major center now the living coasts established center here in this great city.

111
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:28,430
Lastly, I want to thank the City of Tourism for all of your continued support of the living

112
00:10:28,430 --> 00:10:28,770
coast.

113
00:10:29,390 --> 00:10:32,830
We can never be in this position without support from the city.

114
00:10:32,830 --> 00:10:44,930
Our business model relies on income support provided by the city and we would not be able to provide the experiences and the programs to the community if not for the generous support of the city.

115
00:10:45,210 --> 00:10:55,830
From the public works department, construction repair, pump cream, IT support, the utilities support, all of this has allowed us to be successful in recent years.

116
00:10:55,830 --> 00:10:56,450
Thank you.

117
00:10:56,770 --> 00:11:01,030
The U.N. Coast, however, still faces significant challenges in coming years from maintaining

118
00:11:01,030 --> 00:11:06,450
an aging building that's over 30 years old through placing an 11-year-old bus to increase

119
00:11:06,450 --> 00:11:12,250
staff time, staff in class, to the uncertainty and financial support for other agencies, corporations

120
00:11:12,250 --> 00:11:13,270
and foundation.

121
00:11:14,350 --> 00:11:18,490
Even with these challenges that we are with face, I look forward to the upcoming meeting

122
00:11:18,490 --> 00:11:22,690
year of the operating agreement with the city for the next three years, and to continue

123
00:11:22,690 --> 00:11:24,650
its success for the next 30 years.

124
00:11:24,970 --> 00:11:25,430
Thank you.

125
00:11:25,430 --> 00:11:27,670
Thank you so much. Thank you, Ben.

126
00:11:32,410 --> 00:11:39,170
Thank you for your excellent leadership and the Living Coast Discovery Center gets bigger and

127
00:11:39,170 --> 00:11:43,130
more exciting each year, more students enjoy it every year.

128
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:49,110
And thank you to all your staff for the work that they do in the Discovery Center,

129
00:11:49,390 --> 00:11:52,670
but not only that they're outreach that they do in the community.

130
00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:58,850
The Board of Directors that it has been really really awesome and of course your hundreds of volunteers there

131
00:11:58,850 --> 00:12:03,590
It's really a beautiful place to visit if you haven't already. Thank you so much

132
00:12:04,690 --> 00:12:06,830
So with that I'm going to

133
00:12:07,670 --> 00:12:09,710
Yes, I'll go ahead

134
00:12:09,710 --> 00:12:11,290
Thank you madam mayor

135
00:12:11,850 --> 00:12:12,810
then I

136
00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:20,090
I wanted to offer my personal congratulations with the transformation that's been been made to the former

137
00:12:20,090 --> 00:12:31,850
to the Nature Center. You've done a spectacular job and to also thank you personally for the many hours of fun that I spent there with my grandson.

138
00:12:32,490 --> 00:12:32,910
So thank you.

139
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:38,760
Thank you very much.

140
00:12:38,980 --> 00:12:45,080
And with that, we'll move on to item BN special orders of the day and that's a presentation of

141
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:51,460
commission to promise neighborhoods and Mr. Council member Diaz will go down to the

142
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:58,080
the podium and will the representatives of the leadership academy please come forward.

143
00:12:59,140 --> 00:13:00,940
President leadership academy.

144
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:03,260
Great.

145
00:13:03,460 --> 00:13:04,480
We have a long agenda.

146
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:08,520
Okay.

147
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:15,260
So the proclamation reads was neighbor day created by the resident leadership academy graduates.

148
00:13:15,260 --> 00:13:19,500
sponsored by the South Bank Community Services supports the

149
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:23,900
sea goals of creating a thriving, productive, healthy, and safe community.

150
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:27,580
Whereas residents in the Castle Park and Harbyside communities

151
00:13:27,580 --> 00:13:32,140
at Chorvista are experiencing revitalization of their community,

152
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:38,160
from an increased volunteerism at local schools, more community-based events,

153
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:42,420
thriving community gardens, and an increase in civic engagement.

154
00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:48,580
Whereas the resident leaders engage in support community members in creating better health

155
00:13:48,580 --> 00:13:52,780
near neighborhoods by encouraging neighbors to reach out to one another.

156
00:13:53,540 --> 00:13:57,560
Whereas neighbor day is a one-day event to enrich the resident leaders.

157
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:06,620
Encourage residents, businesses, or community groups to come out and connect with neighbors through random acts of kindness throughout the city of Cholvista.

158
00:14:06,620 --> 00:14:14,140
and whereas resident leaders in partnership with Healthy Cholvista and Community Organizations celebrate

159
00:14:14,140 --> 00:14:21,480
the special date of increased kindness and those around us to strengthen our bonds and our neighborhoods.

160
00:14:22,260 --> 00:14:27,620
Now therefore, I'm here to see a solid, supportive mayor of the City of Cholvista together with the City Council

161
00:14:27,620 --> 00:14:33,960
to hear by proclaim May 6, 2017 as Neighbor Day in Cholvista

162
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:39,860
encourage all residents to continue to find ways to strengthen ties within their neighborhoods

163
00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:46,400
and overall, show us the community. Thank you very much for this great and innovative program.

164
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,480
I understand you want to give a little speech. Yes. Yes, Madam Mayor. Good evening. My name is Jitme Lekisar.

165
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:15,980
And I'm a resident of the community. And I'm a representative of all the residential academy.

166
00:15:16,940 --> 00:15:24,000
We as parents and members of the community have a vision. That is to achieve a peaceful and safe environment

167
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:30,180
for the communities which we can enjoy a healthy and respectful coexistence.

168
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,480
We can continue to foster values and work together to achieve goals.

169
00:15:36,940 --> 00:15:41,640
Together, we can build a community in constant development and transformation.

170
00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:45,260
We are empowering each other to stay informed.

171
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,660
That is why we wanted to build the idea of motherhood day to our city and to understand.

172
00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:59,400
This year will be the first annual member of her day to be celebrated on Saturday, May 6th at Casa Park Elementary School.

173
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:02,100
This year, then we begin with a party's breakfast.

174
00:16:03,940 --> 00:16:06,400
And then I continue to get to my younger members.

175
00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:09,740
There will also be free activities and give a vote for our children.

176
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,740
You will also have a chance to create an art project

177
00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:18,460
and to share with one another in one or two of your members as well.

178
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:26,120
The plan is to create two paper flowers and give them to a neighbor, you do not move very well.

179
00:16:26,460 --> 00:16:35,320
That neighbor will keep an extra flower and give the other flower to another neighbor as he does not move.

180
00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:38,860
Creating the sense of the safe and family community.

181
00:16:39,660 --> 00:16:43,460
Other ideas you can draw home on this day, you can join us.

182
00:16:44,380 --> 00:16:48,880
random kind of backmix, random act of kindness.

183
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,520
For example, like to clear a small drift,

184
00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:02,280
also fresh flowers from your garden, creating a block party in your neighborhood, helping the day

185
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:08,040
you to rush here so her car, you love that, right? And also, rather, you start, by not.

186
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:14,740
And by your labor to eat, or maybe take a treat, or just not even the doors, and it will be so yourself.

187
00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:23,880
The point of having an event like this is so that the community can meet and socialize with the people who they live day by day.

188
00:17:24,620 --> 00:17:27,180
But not normally do not interact.

189
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:37,880
We hope that we have a question to participate on this day with us, and so we ask you, why would you do for your labor on this day?

190
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,380
Remember, everyday can be a everyday.

191
00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:02,340
Thank you very much.

192
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,580
We can also implement our values.

193
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,680
We are working together with our methods and our proposals.

194
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,520
We can build a community that is constantly developing growth.

195
00:18:25,220 --> 00:18:26,860
But this is what we are trying to do.

196
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,080
This is the first celebration of the day,

197
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,340
but I hope it will be a great success in the history of the city.

198
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:37,280
In fact, it is the first day of the year in the first case of the park.

199
00:18:37,380 --> 00:18:40,280
At the end of the year, we are all invited to come up with a surprise.

200
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,800
I think that all of us, here in my company,

201
00:18:44,120 --> 00:18:46,200
to make a lot of sense in the discourse,

202
00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:48,080
we are also invited to this day,

203
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,680
and we expect that we are in the first of many years

204
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,300
to celebrate and that our community is together

205
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,000
to participate in this day.

206
00:18:55,140 --> 00:18:55,420
Thank you.

207
00:18:56,260 --> 00:18:58,160
Thank you.

208
00:19:02,950 --> 00:19:04,950
Now we'll move on to a presentation

209
00:19:04,950 --> 00:19:08,830
of the quarterly employee recognition recipients.

210
00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:12,730
Mr. City Manager, do you want to hit this off?

211
00:19:13,490 --> 00:19:15,950
Courtney Chase will take the lead on this item for us.

212
00:19:17,610 --> 00:19:19,570
Good evening, I'm the main concern.

213
00:19:20,810 --> 00:19:24,950
Tonight we're doing an important bookborder, so this is the second-quarter of 2017.

214
00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:28,590
The employee recognition program is intended to imagine

215
00:19:28,590 --> 00:19:32,650
for a student who have made net standing petitions through a project

216
00:19:32,650 --> 00:19:36,750
for a brand action idea for service to the community

217
00:19:36,750 --> 00:19:39,510
when you're at one time over the course of time.

218
00:19:39,510 --> 00:19:45,810
This asked for all received 87 nominations and we wanted to recognize these employees tonight.

219
00:19:46,170 --> 00:19:48,030
First is Joe Aden.

220
00:19:55,130 --> 00:19:57,830
So, here's a little bit of what we received about Jay.

221
00:19:58,230 --> 00:20:04,990
Jay is described by his colleagues as a pleasure to work with and demonstrates extraordinary effort in this creativity to accomplish tasks.

222
00:20:05,730 --> 00:20:08,730
He strives to improve the efficiencies and improve processes.

223
00:20:08,730 --> 00:20:13,810
I was, because I always had both consistent with the vice-timer responses to questions and

224
00:20:13,810 --> 00:20:14,390
requests.

225
00:20:14,910 --> 00:20:19,610
She collaborates with controlling external test rules to ensure commitments and expectations

226
00:20:19,610 --> 00:20:20,470
in that.

227
00:20:20,770 --> 00:20:25,010
And I will add these during the age of 18 or late, so we're very excited for him.

228
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:40,060
We're in the gentleman, sitting at the manager, at a mayor, council members, thank you for having

229
00:20:40,060 --> 00:20:40,420
me.

230
00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:45,080
greatly honored and best be here.

231
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:57,220
I am not truly humbled to be here. I work with a

232
00:20:57,220 --> 00:20:58,600
great department.

233
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,040
I want to actually dedicate and share this great

234
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:12,820
recognition with my peers and about because they do a lot of things for me. If

235
00:21:12,820 --> 00:21:18,320
without them. I will not be standing here. The final part is our people, who cares about people.

236
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:23,440
Without them, again, I will not be here. I work with a great team, don't believe this, Maggie.

237
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:33,400
I'll see Chief here in Chief Manson. My dream leader, Justin Gibson. He is amazing.

238
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:39,720
I work with him in team and I am truly honored to be recognized by him and I definitely want to show this to you.

239
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,800
because I'm not 19, deserves it. Thank you.

240
00:21:43,980 --> 00:21:44,940
Thank you so much.

241
00:21:52,490 --> 00:21:55,570
All right, and next we're going to recognize Patricia Fernand.

242
00:21:55,590 --> 00:21:58,150
She's a principal landscape architect and development service.

243
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,180
So Patricia was nominated for her outstanding design work.

244
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:08,880
I'm two phases of the third avenue of downtown improvements,

245
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:12,440
and she was the creative force behind the straight skate master plans.

246
00:22:13,020 --> 00:22:15,440
In addition, she's demonstrated excellent project management

247
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,940
at the Laniac project in the cornerstone of the old-time range.

248
00:22:18,940 --> 00:22:19,940
Thank you.

249
00:22:20,980 --> 00:22:22,280
Well, thank you very much.

250
00:22:22,380 --> 00:22:24,720
What an honor to be here in front of you.

251
00:22:24,900 --> 00:22:25,880
Thank you for your manager.

252
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,560
Members of the City Council.

253
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,360
It's a true honor and thank you to the Employee Engagement Committee.

254
00:22:31,780 --> 00:22:34,160
I'll support the great work.

255
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,240
But before I leave this podium, I would like to thank everybody here at the city.

256
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,940
We all contributed greatly to creating a city that thrives.

257
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,460
And that creates where we actually write our stories and shapes our lives.

258
00:22:47,460 --> 00:22:52,900
So, it's a true honor to be part of this team and I love working at the City of

259
00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:53,340
July Studies.

260
00:22:53,340 --> 00:22:54,040
This is my home.

261
00:22:54,060 --> 00:22:54,820
This is where I leave.

262
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:55,720
This is where I shop.

263
00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:57,300
So, I wanted to be great.

264
00:22:57,660 --> 00:22:58,260
Thank you.

265
00:22:58,380 --> 00:22:58,680
Thank you.

266
00:23:13,390 --> 00:23:17,170
I was actually the perfect team because our next group we're going to recognize is actually

267
00:23:17,170 --> 00:23:20,850
our Employee Engagement Committee, which is a big group.

268
00:23:22,610 --> 00:23:25,810
I know they're here, so they can come down while I talk, I guess.

269
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,580
So, our Employee Engagement Committee was actually formed in 2014 by sitting in

270
00:23:37,580 --> 00:23:42,140
your hub, and I responsible for a variety of things that happen in this city, so I just want

271
00:23:42,140 --> 00:23:44,840
to share a couple of the things they've done over the past year.

272
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,660
So they work on leadership seminars and trainings for city employees, so through them we brought

273
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:54,220
strength-finder training, team building, building relationships, time management, and two

274
00:23:54,220 --> 00:23:58,940
supervisor academies to the city and provided scholarships to employees to attend.

275
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,740
They've created social events that include a very popular Halloween costume contest,

276
00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:05,700
We're HR.

277
00:24:07,020 --> 00:24:07,740
We're right.

278
00:24:08,340 --> 00:24:14,480
And also helped the public works with our current outside of Atlanta and one of the things

279
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,260
they've done is actually redesigned this event.

280
00:24:16,460 --> 00:24:20,700
It used to be department nominated and held the now we have moved to an employee recognition

281
00:24:21,380 --> 00:24:24,560
event and employee sponsor for this event.

282
00:24:24,860 --> 00:24:25,760
So, move that to me.

283
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,440
Thank you very much.

284
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:30,020
I am the current chair.

285
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,660
I'm going to step down on the Bomea Council Member City Manager at first.

286
00:24:34,660 --> 00:24:36,800
I would like to say thank you very much on behalf of the

287
00:24:37,820 --> 00:24:38,540
Implementation Committee.

288
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,140
I don't think they are all here but it's a spectacular team, they are an amazing team.

289
00:24:43,980 --> 00:24:47,560
And everything I can do they do from the heart, they do it just for a smile, not expecting

290
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,860
making a return, which is what makes me think this is so special that we are going to

291
00:24:51,860 --> 00:24:52,720
expect it at all.

292
00:24:53,540 --> 00:24:58,520
So we thank you and I think that I speak for all of us here.

293
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,840
We really enjoy what you do, what we do, sorry, what you do as well.

294
00:25:04,620 --> 00:25:09,420
Thank you for the recognition and we would love to be here in Chalveston.

295
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,340
Thank you.

296
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:10,980
Thank you.

297
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:13,120
Thank you.

298
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:13,160
Thank you.

299
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:39,420
Thank you.

300
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:40,280
Thank you very much.

301
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:57,180
What we'd like to do is this is the presentation of the Clean Champion Awards by the Chalveston Sustainability Commission.

302
00:25:57,660 --> 00:26:01,460
If you could please come up and the Mayor would like to participate with you as well.

303
00:26:01,460 --> 00:26:04,420
Thank you very much, everybody give them a round of applause.

304
00:26:15,390 --> 00:26:18,470
I saw you got right up, but everybody else is following you, huh?

305
00:26:21,220 --> 00:26:22,160
Go ahead, you're on.

306
00:26:22,620 --> 00:26:23,880
OK, thank you.

307
00:26:26,050 --> 00:26:29,930
Mayor, council, staff, and sitting, since it's a cheerleaster.

308
00:26:30,470 --> 00:26:34,610
Over here, the Sustainability Commission comprises seven commissioners.

309
00:26:34,610 --> 00:26:41,230
I'm glad we will share you the more out of Vice Chair and ask a winner, Carlos Hayme,

310
00:26:41,470 --> 00:26:46,350
whom caps, Ceci, and our teams today and our self-bound opponent, recognize his

311
00:26:46,350 --> 00:26:51,290
urbanizations or community members have a living or working in the city that demonstrates

312
00:26:51,290 --> 00:26:55,730
exceptional environmental ownership to its clean, championed world.

313
00:26:56,550 --> 00:27:01,750
The roadwings directly contribute to achieving cleaner, clean water, clean land within

314
00:27:01,750 --> 00:27:02,490
our community.

315
00:27:02,490 --> 00:27:08,030
nominations were submitted by the public and it seems to have been five categories listed.

316
00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:13,570
Resident, business, organization, youth, and city employees.

317
00:27:14,690 --> 00:27:21,330
And I am privileged today to present a few resident groups in the winner of the King Champion World for Resident.

318
00:27:23,010 --> 00:27:28,010
There could come on up, it's not a fake and murder below.

319
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:41,180
And I want to let you all know what they did to win this award.

320
00:27:41,740 --> 00:27:44,420
Go ahead and scoot over a little box so we can hear you in the microphone.

321
00:27:44,860 --> 00:27:45,360
OK, great.

322
00:27:45,980 --> 00:27:50,020
So after receiving a home energy and water check-up from City staff,

323
00:27:50,260 --> 00:27:53,000
I pray that our residents can utilize Frank and Nada

324
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,620
if in the various actions in their home

325
00:27:55,620 --> 00:27:58,640
to help children as to become more sustainable and clean.

326
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:03,000
They ought to sell their panels to generate clean, renewable electricity

327
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:16,360
And then we placed out our lights around these and other energy-efficient fixtures, and I also added a smart things that they could manage their heating and air conditioning very efficiently.

328
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,940
And also, to combat the drought, they replaced their red and intense alarm when the drought tolerates plants.

329
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,180
And they were most innovative with their turf removal.

330
00:28:26,180 --> 00:28:35,320
The I-Labachi Labore with fresh grants, your fist is to spend the game, the game can only be played on grass and you can see the picture right up there.

331
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:36,500
Little Bouchy Balcour.

332
00:28:37,060 --> 00:28:38,840
So, Frank, are you pretty good at it?

333
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:42,440
I bet your life is now.

334
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,460
So, we could graduate then and let us present to you.

335
00:28:46,540 --> 00:28:47,100
Thank you.

336
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:48,180
Thank you.

337
00:28:52,780 --> 00:28:53,140
Excuse me.

338
00:29:04,010 --> 00:29:04,450
Cancel.

339
00:29:05,610 --> 00:29:08,170
And then, you may need to sit down right here today.

340
00:29:08,170 --> 00:29:17,470
I'm here to present the Business Clean Champion Award to Mr. Harry Ogrin, who I've actually

341
00:29:17,470 --> 00:29:22,470
had the pleasure of working with on the climate adaptation, working with as well as I can

342
00:29:22,470 --> 00:29:23,090
in 2011.

343
00:29:25,870 --> 00:29:29,930
Harry's growing up in Chile this time is a graduate of Chile as to how he has been in

344
00:29:29,930 --> 00:29:34,450
respect for community, I can't think his back to his community in many ways.

345
00:29:34,450 --> 00:29:42,210
He's been a lower-volunteer and the reason of living close to slavery center since 2009

346
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:48,250
And has long over 15 hundred hours of community service.

347
00:29:48,250 --> 00:29:50,170
Do you think it?

348
00:29:51,390 --> 00:29:51,470
Yes.

349
00:29:51,670 --> 00:29:56,870
His calls should be a living close and South Christ shown by his advocacy to be checked on natural resources.

350
00:29:57,590 --> 00:29:59,790
And by serving as the Vice President and a member on the board.

351
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,460
The Saturday Stroke Society and Chilester Heritage Museum. As the owner of Chilester Carac, and the National Living Coast,

352
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:17,080
Heritage is the importance of wetlands and works to protect local endangered species, including the light-footed rich ways.

353
00:30:17,900 --> 00:30:20,000
Well, rich way, rich way, rich way, rich way.

354
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:29,660
In addition to a guided historical and ecological tools of South San Indigabri, here he donated his time and triacs for volunteers to collect trash along the shoreline.

355
00:30:29,660 --> 00:30:41,900
Here in the cleanup to team up the monitoring team, we're trying to be making the area safer for the danger of each specific green CTRLs, and other animals that cross any in the bay home.

356
00:30:42,780 --> 00:30:53,000
Through each patient, community cleanups and getting outdoors through kayaking, hay encourages guests to explore and protect the natural resources in chillin with the senior bay and beyond.

357
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,260
As you have no choice to kayak, K provides tours, introducing kayak history and a book

358
00:30:58,260 --> 00:31:02,040
ecosystem that exists just below the surface of seeing the bigger bed.

359
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,620
This allows families and students to have a opportunity to experience local wildlife first

360
00:31:06,620 --> 00:31:07,140
hand.

361
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,720
To get on and choose this time in kayaks for clean ups and set 10 year day, we have our volunteers

362
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,540
kayak along the shoreline collecting trash and debris.

363
00:31:16,260 --> 00:31:20,320
As the last one has the living coast to Discovery Center, he leads tours for students

364
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,280
who are on the field trips, educating them, and the importance of wet land habitat conservation,

365
00:31:26,140 --> 00:31:30,780
encourages all visitors to land where about local species, how they identify them,

366
00:31:31,020 --> 00:31:35,520
and how to protect them, how they connect personally with every person in counties and

367
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,400
towards how long the water and that delineate coast.

368
00:31:45,060 --> 00:31:46,780
Thank you much, Harry.

369
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:50,720
Harry, would you like to say anything?

370
00:31:53,460 --> 00:31:55,500
I'm not ready to say anything about it.

371
00:31:55,540 --> 00:31:57,120
I'm not going to say thank you to everybody.

372
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Presenting this for all it.

373
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,320
I do want to thank the little of him close to me

374
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,520
because I've been inspired way throughout my...

375
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:16,600
And my latter years in learning about wildlife, the habitat, how precious it is for all of us.

376
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:23,000
And how important it is to stay on top of keeping it clean and healthy for the wildlife.

377
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,940
I'm valuable to be able to come kayaking in any time until this kayak.

378
00:32:27,940 --> 00:32:30,540
I'm just looking at business fans, you know how I am.

379
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,860
Thank you very much, Eric.

380
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:42,140
Hi.

381
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,200
Good evening, Council, Mayor, staff.

382
00:32:45,460 --> 00:32:49,220
My name is Ellen Capis, and I'm one of the commissioners, and I'm going to be recognizing the

383
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:55,020
environmental leadership of the, in the organizational category for a non-profit

384
00:32:55,020 --> 00:32:58,420
civic group public agency or other organization.

385
00:32:58,660 --> 00:33:02,240
And I'm happy to present it to the Living Coast Discovery Center.

386
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,400
What work then go?

387
00:33:10,150 --> 00:33:10,190
Other?

388
00:33:10,590 --> 00:33:11,510
Come on down, babe.

389
00:33:12,510 --> 00:33:17,270
So, as we had a little bit from Ben, the living post-discovery center is a non-profit

390
00:33:17,270 --> 00:33:23,250
sort of crime uniquely situated on our sweet water marsh, national wildlife refuge here,

391
00:33:23,250 --> 00:33:28,510
which is the home to many amazing animals and plants that call our coastal region home.

392
00:33:28,510 --> 00:33:34,290
And, as you heard also, they're celebrating their 30th year of spreading the message of

393
00:33:34,290 --> 00:33:40,130
wildlife conservation and environmental education, and our community is so enriched through

394
00:33:40,130 --> 00:33:45,330
their animal exhibits, camps, field trips, scout badge programs in over 90 ventures.

395
00:33:46,030 --> 00:33:52,730
And the Commission wanted to especially recognize them for the team-up to clean up program,

396
00:33:52,950 --> 00:33:54,910
which you also heard a little bit about.

397
00:33:55,730 --> 00:34:01,010
You know, this is a program where they organize monthly community cleanups with local resident volunteers.

398
00:34:01,610 --> 00:34:09,470
And in 2016, they had over 470 community volunteers at seven official cleanups within the South Bay.

399
00:34:09,830 --> 00:34:12,350
So congratulations to the Living Coast Discovery Center.

400
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,080
Go ahead and take the picture and then you can say something.

401
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,860
Well, thank you so much. I really appreciate this.

402
00:34:30,860 --> 00:34:33,460
Actually, I cannot do it without my amazing team of volunteers.

403
00:34:33,460 --> 00:34:40,060
Because this is my quality right here and without these guys all the two gentlemen that you will be honoring soon as it will be our evening

404
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:48,200
We cannot complete all the cleanups that we've done. Just this year long. We did

405
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,980
Seven-ish she had mentioned and now it's with all the way that we've had

406
00:34:51,980 --> 00:35:00,180
All the strong grains the watershed the pollutant had landed out in our Bayesian oceans and we're doing our part and the community is cut along to it

407
00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:04,200
It's just been amazing that they want to keep this whole environment, this whole ecosystem

408
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,440
that community clean.

409
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,800
So I just want to thank you guys for acknowledging us.

410
00:35:07,860 --> 00:35:08,620
Thank you guys.

411
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:09,920
Thank you for all your things.

412
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,040
Good afternoon.

413
00:35:27,060 --> 00:35:29,600
May you city council's death.

414
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:30,960
I mean, it's Uglomerate.

415
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,760
And the living coast, this country's center of high school, Berlin Bridge,

416
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:44,860
have created a cloud in the school that teaches the kids about local advocates to clean

417
00:35:44,860 --> 00:35:52,500
up and in the educational facts. This high school volunteers, they're not only volunteers,

418
00:35:53,420 --> 00:36:00,780
they're leaders in the community, they participate in teaching children about conservation

419
00:36:00,780 --> 00:36:09,820
in recycling from natural crafts and in the end of the period of the work of the Marine

420
00:36:09,820 --> 00:36:16,180
Wife and the living coast type will test table in child and rape exhibits. The last

421
00:36:16,180 --> 00:36:23,760
span, weekends, educating youth about environmental around us and the many of which

422
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,500
in community clean-ups after by the leading pro.

423
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:37,680
When of the amazing roots at the leading course, the discovery center of the field,

424
00:36:38,740 --> 00:36:44,820
who has spread his dedication and passion for the leading course, to his fellow classmates

425
00:36:44,820 --> 00:36:49,160
in school, is very well.

426
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:49,640
Well,

427
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:13,900
let's go

428
00:37:22,090 --> 00:37:27,130
ahead and take a picture and then boys, if you'd like to say something, go ahead.

429
00:37:28,670 --> 00:37:36,030
Do we have any, okay, go ahead and tell us what you did.

430
00:37:36,030 --> 00:37:48,450
All right, so the value of having programs in our community sponsored by FACES such as

431
00:37:48,450 --> 00:37:59,510
the Wooden Coast Discovery Center is inevitable because educate our future generations is

432
00:37:59,510 --> 00:38:03,250
one of the most valuable things a city can do.

433
00:38:03,250 --> 00:38:19,210
I'd like to thank everyone in present here, especially like to mention King of the Fise, without her work organizing hundreds of volunteers and countless hours.

434
00:38:19,810 --> 00:38:20,970
We would not be here.

435
00:38:22,130 --> 00:38:23,070
Thank you for this honor.

436
00:38:24,550 --> 00:38:26,790
And here's her.

437
00:38:33,980 --> 00:38:38,020
I'd like to take the council once again and see you, of course, and that Limpos Scorer

438
00:38:38,020 --> 00:38:39,480
Center, they're fine.

439
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:47,260
One thing I've seen when I started a club in Bones here, is that my time at the Center

440
00:38:47,260 --> 00:38:52,920
has sort of been with a chance at me, because my first time there, my friend recommended me

441
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:53,880
to volunteer there.

442
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,560
And I never even heard of a positive Limpos Scorer Center.

443
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:06,730
But once I did and spent some time there, I fell in on the fit and I think that I tried this new thing and

444
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:09,620
It somehow became a big part of my life.

445
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:15,500
So when I start this club, I hope that two of my fellow peers that will have the same experience as me.

446
00:39:15,860 --> 00:39:20,140
That very willing to love nature as much and appreciate the beauty of it.

447
00:39:20,260 --> 00:39:20,640
Thank you.

448
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,280
Thank you.

449
00:39:27,900 --> 00:39:29,360
Mr. Chair, it's your time.

450
00:39:31,380 --> 00:39:34,800
Good evening, Madam Mayor, Councilor and staff.

451
00:39:34,940 --> 00:39:35,960
My name is Mark Valin.

452
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,640
I'm this year's chair of the Sustainability Commission.

453
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:44,280
And tonight, I have the honor of presenting the Clean Champion Award

454
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,100
in the Employee Category to David Anton.

455
00:39:53,940 --> 00:40:00,940
David Anton is the Senior HVAC technician for the City of Churissa in the Public Works Department.

456
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:08,180
So it's his job to make sure that the air we are breathing right now is clean, healthy and fresh.

457
00:40:08,980 --> 00:40:15,760
He is in charge of a lead certification project for City Hall, excuse me, City Hall.

458
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:27,140
And I have had the pleasure of working with him directly, and I get to see firsthand the high quality and the attention to detail that he takes in everything that he does.

459
00:40:27,140 --> 00:40:38,820
I happen to know that in his spare time, in the evenings, he goes and teaches at San Diego City College and trains our young people in an intract technology.

460
00:40:39,460 --> 00:40:42,480
So it is my honor to present this award to David Anton.

461
00:40:53,590 --> 00:40:55,570
David, go ahead and get up to the mic and speak.

462
00:40:56,410 --> 00:40:57,830
Thank you.

463
00:40:57,890 --> 00:40:58,330
Thanks God.

464
00:40:59,590 --> 00:41:01,430
Good evening, Madam Mayor.

465
00:41:01,870 --> 00:41:02,810
Council members.

466
00:41:03,190 --> 00:41:03,270
Yes.

467
00:41:03,270 --> 00:41:07,290
staff. I'd like to see, I'm truly honored and received in this clean

468
00:41:07,290 --> 00:41:12,830
champion award and know that it's wonderful to be recognized for my efforts in energy

469
00:41:12,830 --> 00:41:17,230
conservation and sustainability. I just want to take this time to thank

470
00:41:17,230 --> 00:41:22,510
the Office of Sustainability and as well as the Sustainability Commission

471
00:41:22,510 --> 00:41:30,210
to understand this honor out to me. Again I also like to thank my clinical workers

472
00:41:30,210 --> 00:41:35,910
And public works, all the city staff, and especially with construction and pay division, for

473
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:41,850
whether or for, because without them, this is a team effort, we all help each other out.

474
00:41:42,350 --> 00:41:47,270
I wouldn't succeed, none of us will succeed, so thank you very much, and again, it's truly an honor.

475
00:41:53,740 --> 00:41:58,700
The mayor is back, but I know that they wanted to do a group picture, so come on over and let's have a group picture.

476
00:41:58,700 --> 00:42:02,240
And congratulations to all of you for your awards.

477
00:42:02,340 --> 00:42:04,800
They were very well earned and deserved.

478
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,720
And thank you for making the city of Chilivista

479
00:42:07,720 --> 00:42:10,540
more and more sustainable each and every day.

480
00:42:10,820 --> 00:42:11,280
Thank you.

481
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,800
Well, I'm to the next special orders of the day.

482
00:42:52,820 --> 00:42:55,900
I would like to make an announcement that item three

483
00:42:55,900 --> 00:42:58,140
on the consent calendar has been pulled.

484
00:42:59,420 --> 00:43:02,800
And item one has been pulled by staff.

485
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:11,800
And item number eight has been pulled and requested that we continue that by staff to the meeting of May 9th.

486
00:43:12,060 --> 00:43:18,740
So just in case you were here for those items, we would not be hearing those items this evening.

487
00:43:20,340 --> 00:43:26,460
So with that, we moved to a very special remembrance.

488
00:43:26,460 --> 00:43:35,420
and this is about Holocaust Remembrance Week. From 1933 to 1945, there was a government sponsored

489
00:43:35,420 --> 00:43:42,480
and systematic persecution of Europe's Jews, and those considered to be politically, racially,

490
00:43:42,740 --> 00:43:49,720
or socially different. Holocaust Remembrance Week runs from the Sunday before Holocaust Remembrance Day,

491
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:56,240
which this year was observed on Monday, the April 24th through the following Sunday.

492
00:43:57,420 --> 00:44:04,860
Remembering the Holocaust is important as it demonstrates what evil is capable of when left unchallenged.

493
00:44:05,740 --> 00:44:11,400
Such devastating event was not only the product of a strong man who came to power,

494
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,560
but those who stood by contributing to the suffering of others.

495
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:41,560
Tonight, removing the loss of the 6 million Jews and around 1.0 million non-Jewish Polish civilians, around 3 million Soviet prisoners of war, 312,000 Serbs civilians, and up to 250,000 people with disabilities, living in institutions, gypsies and homosexuals.

496
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:48,800
We also honored those who are here tonight who survived and are living in our beautiful and diverse community.

497
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:55,580
Let this day also serve as an appreciation for the brave soldiers who fought in World War II

498
00:44:55,580 --> 00:44:58,820
and in their mission liberated concentration camp.

499
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:09,780
We also honoured the 418,500 Americans killed during World War II who fought defending our values.

500
00:45:11,260 --> 00:45:21,180
I believe there is a moral obligation for all of us to defend those who cannot defend themselves and act when confronted with justice.

501
00:45:21,180 --> 00:45:28,680
So, I would like to invite my city council members to go down to the podium and then I would

502
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:36,480
like to ask the very honoured Holocaust survivors that are with us today, which include

503
00:45:38,180 --> 00:45:41,320
Ruthie Grills, Mayoth, Sacks,

504
00:45:48,670 --> 00:45:49,510
Lily Hetch,

505
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:54,440
and Salomon Slosser.

506
00:45:54,820 --> 00:46:00,660
If you'll all come to the Dias and then I'll have the council members proceed there with your

507
00:46:00,660 --> 00:46:02,100
And

508
00:46:22,740 --> 00:46:30,280
the proper mission reads proclaiming the April 23rd to April 30th, 2017, as the

509
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:35,820
other members' week in the city of Chilvista, whereas pursuant to an act of Congress,

510
00:46:36,340 --> 00:46:45,560
Public Law 96-388, in October 7th of 1980, the United States Holocaust Memorial Council

511
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:51,460
designated the days of remembrance of the victims of Holocaust to be Sunday, April 23,

512
00:46:51,820 --> 00:47:00,620
through Monday, April 24, known as Yamhashosh, and whereas between 1933 and 1945,

513
00:47:01,260 --> 00:47:07,000
six million people were murdered, targeted for destruction, or a recrimination for racial,

514
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:13,340
ethnic, or national reasons, and millions more including homosexuals, Jehovah witnesses,

515
00:47:13,340 --> 00:47:23,220
Soviet prisoners of wars, political dissidents, also suffered previous oppression and death under the Nazi tyranny.

516
00:47:23,720 --> 00:47:36,220
Whereas the history of the Holocaust provides the opportunity to reflect on the moral responsibilities of individuals, societies, governments, and their efforts to overcome prejudice through education and reflection.

517
00:47:36,220 --> 00:47:43,020
When we, the people of Chilvista, should always remember the terrible events of the Holocaust

518
00:47:43,020 --> 00:47:48,120
and remain vigilant against hatred, persecution, and tyranny.

519
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:54,140
When we, the people of Chilvista should actively re-dedicate ourselves to the principles

520
00:47:54,140 --> 00:48:01,500
of individual freedom in a just society, to work to promote human dignity, and confront whatever

521
00:48:01,500 --> 00:48:03,820
hate and when ever hate occurs.

522
00:48:04,620 --> 00:48:09,680
Whereas the days of remembrance have been set aside for the people to remember the victims

523
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:15,920
of the whole cast, as well as to reflect on the need for respect of all people, and whereas

524
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:22,920
in honor of Yam Hashawah, the people of Chulvesti community recognize and honor Chulvesti

525
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:30,640
residents, Ruth, Goldshinidova, Sachs, and we know her as Ruthie.

526
00:48:31,380 --> 00:48:37,680
Louis Hetch, and Solomon Schlosser, as Holocaust survivors and advocates for harmony and peace

527
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:44,480
through education and guidance guidance to those around the world, and whereas Ruthie Sachs

528
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:51,440
experience from a past shall be a constant reminder to our future that this will not be

529
00:48:52,100 --> 00:48:58,780
tolerated again. And the legacy of her story by her daughter, Sandra Sheller, tried to remember,

530
00:48:59,140 --> 00:49:05,260
never forget my morals. It is a contribution to the world touching each and every beating heart.

531
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:12,460
Whereas Lilly Hetch is a Holocaust survivor and an advocate for harmony and peace in her experience

532
00:49:12,460 --> 00:49:20,740
should be a reminder of the terrible events of the Holocaust and guide us to remain vigilant against hatred, persecution, and tyranny.

533
00:49:20,740 --> 00:49:27,580
While Solomon Schlosser published a children's book in Spanish about his conversations with

534
00:49:27,580 --> 00:49:32,480
his daughter and granddaughter, where he could explain to his experience in an age-appropriate

535
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:38,320
way about the need to collaborate to create a better world, a world where different religions,

536
00:49:38,780 --> 00:49:41,500
races, and cultures coexist harmoniously.

537
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:47,580
Now, therefore, I, America, see as sawless the foe of mayor of the city of Chorvista, California,

538
00:49:47,580 --> 00:49:54,840
Together with the city council do here by proclaim April the 23rd through April the 30th as

539
00:49:54,840 --> 00:50:03,140
Do you remember it's week in memory of the victims of the whole cost and honor of the survivors as well as the rescuers and liberators

540
00:50:42,330 --> 00:50:50,370
You can see the baby of the group with this movie and she's 88

541
00:50:51,950 --> 00:51:04,750
Mr. Schlosser is 93, and then really is 94, so they're precious to us and we need to remember

542
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:11,750
what happened to their generation. We need to always remember the injustices then, the injustices

543
00:51:11,750 --> 00:51:16,850
in the past, even before them, in the injustices that are occurring out in the many more

544
00:51:16,850 --> 00:51:20,390
countries in our world.

545
00:51:56,870 --> 00:51:59,090
We'll just want to say thank you so much.

546
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:14,200
So we've been seeing here going to be at the chill of this library next Thursday, this Thursday,

547
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,220
and they'll be discussing with these books.

548
00:52:17,700 --> 00:52:21,500
And then Mr. Schlaus, or I met him in 2008 in Sacramento,

549
00:52:21,500 --> 00:52:27,540
You know, the book that he wrote is absolutely precious, it's written from the perspective

550
00:52:27,540 --> 00:52:33,520
of a grandfather trying to explain to his grandchild, a very horrible thing that happened

551
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:40,700
in a very tender and aid-appropriate way, and his family has donated several of those books

552
00:52:40,700 --> 00:52:43,860
to us and will be placing them in a natural-listed library.

553
00:53:24,980 --> 00:53:27,860
You have to stay for the rest of the meeting if you don't want to.

554
00:53:31,660 --> 00:53:34,120
I know my bomb goes to bed at 7.

555
00:53:43,620 --> 00:53:46,980
Okay, with that we will move on to

556
00:53:52,780 --> 00:53:55,120
a presentation by Luan Fulcizer.

557
00:53:55,420 --> 00:54:00,040
Madam Mayor, yes, there was a potential speaker that we gave us before.

558
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:01,660
Oh, I'm just item.

559
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:02,720
Oh, yes.

560
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,990
Mario Saltzman, please come out.

561
00:54:13,070 --> 00:54:25,500
So, to very much more resistance, than there are parents, living, germination, they belong in their parents,

562
00:54:27,380 --> 00:54:34,220
1915, 1880, and they live in their territory, and it's generally 1848, who are all the fortunate.

563
00:54:34,220 --> 00:54:39,760
It was a way, remember that

564
00:54:44,810 --> 00:54:50,590
when people approached, they survived, and we were actually

565
00:54:50,590 --> 00:54:59,270
simply in the spirit of remembrance, and as a family would say, they can't keep chosen

566
00:54:59,270 --> 00:55:05,650
if they were into darkness, even though it doesn't happen that way.

567
00:55:05,650 --> 00:55:12,330
If my father were alive today, he was a pretty good historian who was in the late, he said,

568
00:55:12,450 --> 00:55:21,030
when the father would tell you that he would be sad or very distilled by some parents that he saw in joint,

569
00:55:21,450 --> 00:55:24,050
and that he sees, but he would see today.

570
00:55:25,090 --> 00:55:26,150
And if I would pass to him,

571
00:55:30,540 --> 00:55:32,380
he would say,

572
00:56:20,530 --> 00:56:27,190
and the religious, the De Baekil, the precious,

573
00:56:32,950 --> 00:56:34,830
and the precious, the de Baekil.

574
00:56:38,250 --> 00:56:45,090
We have to listen to the world's rules, to the people, to the Mexicans."

575
00:56:45,090 --> 00:56:47,730
The first

576
00:56:52,850 --> 00:57:00,470
thing we're going to do is to establish the state of the universe, the light and the light of the facts,

577
00:57:02,550 --> 00:57:10,490
those who are celebrating the next, who are celebrating the next, who are celebrating the next, who are celebrating the next, who are celebrating the next.

578
00:57:11,770 --> 00:57:23,910
In essence, it's simple art, just life, life is important to life, create your own facts, and eventually people will believe it.

579
00:57:28,900 --> 00:57:29,980
If our family

580
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:34,160
will be the Lord,

581
00:57:36,590 --> 00:57:39,550
they can't some criticism of it, it has to be the Lord.

582
00:58:17,540 --> 00:58:29,020
criticize a judge solely in the Pacific Islands, because that judge on the right took a position against all the Americans.

583
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:47,560
I think if I relate also to the ballot, when he sees one party controlling the seats, the ballot, the presidency, the state houses a legislative country.

584
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:59,080
If you would be bothered because in the rise, if you'd be prepared to pay the reality to control entirely of the government,

585
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:03,080
because in a jeopardy, it might seek control of the government,

586
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,220
and it's a system of escalation of socialism,

587
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,740
because I'm a part of the nation, socialist party,

588
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,660
then you need to wrap up.

589
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:54,220
We all speak people and we turn to the old book, and we all turn to the old books, and we all turn to the old books.

590
00:59:55,700 --> 00:59:57,420
Thank you so much.

591
00:59:58,280 --> 00:59:59,500
You can take a very long time to speak.

592
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:14,120
Now, we have a presentation by Luan Hulcicer, the Executive Director of Thursday's Avenue Village Association,

593
01:00:15,100 --> 01:00:19,960
regarding the success of partnerships and collaborations with the City of Chilvista.

594
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,820
Good evening, we are Council staff and the public.

595
01:00:32,820 --> 01:00:41,060
Following the population that you just did, I can say that, hopefully I can put myself together

596
01:00:41,060 --> 01:00:47,520
from my presentations to being a touchy, and although third avenue village and city to

597
01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:54,660
a VISTA, we can't do anything about past suffering, we can do what we can do as helping

598
01:00:54,660 --> 01:01:00,680
with future, and together I'm here tonight to share with you how we've been partnering with

599
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:06,740
the city and with the community in hoping to bring at least a small piece of our city

600
01:01:06,740 --> 01:01:10,120
for a place where there can be celebrations for families,

601
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,260
refuge for families, a small little space,

602
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,180
where we can embrace history as well as the future.

603
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,160
So thank you for allowing me to come before you this evening.

604
01:01:20,980 --> 01:01:25,440
And I have a handout that I provided to you

605
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,500
with that says we're working together for success.

606
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:31,540
I feel I've been here five years now,

607
01:01:31,660 --> 01:01:34,120
this is the Executive Director for Third Avenue Village.

608
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:49,020
And over that progression, you know, we had a few things to take care of at all the first and then meeting forward and starting the streetscape, we were able to progress towards a future which I feel we're embracing at this time.

609
01:01:50,020 --> 01:02:03,340
Just some highlights from the fiscal year, 1516, we had a successful P-bit renewal, which is very exciting for us, because that's another 10 years of being able to provide enhanced services to our property owners.

610
01:02:03,340 --> 01:02:10,360
And that's something that has to be passed by the proper dealers to vote to assess themselves.

611
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:15,300
So that shows you their commitment to vote avenue into our historic district.

612
01:02:15,980 --> 01:02:24,620
Also with them a new plan and the management plan, there's a dedication of $17,000 to economic development

613
01:02:24,620 --> 01:02:36,060
And it does agree with a district marketing fund and of which we can support the city and the city's communication that can enable development department to partner again in that success.

614
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:54,020
And then one thing also on the whole list initiatives, we've been able to work with two of this to please department on addressing that, working with them and their hot team as well as talk as being able to invest six hours or more per week.

615
01:02:54,020 --> 01:02:57,660
into a night-time petroleum and assisting our crocodiles

616
01:02:57,660 --> 01:02:59,640
that have utilized the trespass letters.

617
01:03:00,940 --> 01:03:03,640
So those are successful P-bed renewals,

618
01:03:03,980 --> 01:03:06,240
and the Mandarin Vance, which I think a lot of people

619
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,320
think about us as events, driven, or maintenance,

620
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,320
driven, are events during the fiscal year 1560

621
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,840
attracted over 65,000 visitors to the district

622
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,500
as well as to chew the vista, or holiday event,

623
01:03:20,500 --> 01:03:26,900
holding the village and being able to work in successful collaboration with Council Member Aguilar

624
01:03:26,900 --> 01:03:33,160
and the city staff, on having an adventure in the day that assist those 30,000 people

625
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:39,060
that line the street for the annual Starlight Crayed, and then are in every mouse and

626
01:03:39,060 --> 01:03:41,840
ails event that we created last year.

627
01:03:42,260 --> 01:03:47,740
That came out of the investment of time, which is a community development development services

628
01:03:47,740 --> 01:03:51,360
when we are bringing in the fusion of the craft fair industry.

629
01:03:52,140 --> 01:03:54,060
We thought, we've got to get on top of this.

630
01:03:54,220 --> 01:03:56,340
We got to let us say the world.

631
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:00,460
But at least Andy Agano about this confusion that's coming

632
01:04:00,460 --> 01:04:04,000
and the drive and the business that it will bring to us.

633
01:04:04,420 --> 01:04:07,700
Marketing on top of installed branding, you can't pay banners

634
01:04:07,700 --> 01:04:11,740
on the main intersections as well as in pedestrian walkways,

635
01:04:12,820 --> 01:04:14,840
which we haven't had for a long time.

636
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:20,880
and CD-Beat predicted that third avenue to be the next 30th Street, and actually there was a

637
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:26,820
follow-up article about them, so that gentleman still confirms that, so we are excited

638
01:04:26,820 --> 01:04:32,780
about that. We didn't pay for that advertisement, so. And then, um,

639
01:04:32,780 --> 01:04:38,840
telecreated an additional ad, which you see before you, the rise up ad, um, for helping to

640
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:44,400
market that you can craft beer industry and to include that, and you'll see on that

641
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:49,280
arm there is actually a tattoo on that arm that says Third Avenue Village, fortunately

642
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:56,400
with temporary tattoo created by Blackwater tattoo on the street, so I thought it was perfect.

643
01:04:56,980 --> 01:04:57,880
Yes, I know.

644
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:00,720
And then I'm not going to get you in trouble.

645
01:05:04,430 --> 01:05:12,550
And then on maintenance, our crew put in over 6,500 annual hours, maintain the district,

646
01:05:12,930 --> 01:05:19,270
hard state landscape, pulled 500,000 or 5,000 plus trash bates, and removed 250 plus

647
01:05:19,270 --> 01:05:24,230
graffiti tags from throughout the village in Germany within 48 hours.

648
01:05:25,370 --> 01:05:31,750
On the next page, you can just see and look at that later as far as our fiscal responsibility

649
01:05:31,750 --> 01:05:41,830
our fiscal transparency on how we allocated the funds last year and that we actually had a net

650
01:05:41,830 --> 01:05:49,550
income of $9,500. It's, I know that's not very much to the city, but it's great for us.

651
01:05:50,250 --> 01:05:56,590
On a mixed page, it's a quote from Henry Ford that I've kind of embraced this year,

652
01:05:56,590 --> 01:06:02,310
It's coming together as a beginning, keeping together as progress and working together as success.

653
01:06:02,950 --> 01:06:07,010
I think that this is kind of a statement for all of us in the community.

654
01:06:07,430 --> 01:06:13,870
The city of Chulavista, if I were to thank everyone, I'd be here like that Academy Award.

655
01:06:14,270 --> 01:06:16,910
Thank you, you know, and they're trying to pull you off the stage.

656
01:06:17,410 --> 01:06:22,390
Because there's not a department we don't touch that we don't work with.

657
01:06:22,390 --> 01:06:26,230
At City Hall, there are many, many qualified employees.

658
01:06:26,930 --> 01:06:29,970
We have City Hall support, we have Council support.

659
01:06:30,790 --> 01:06:33,710
The streets create master plan is already gone through two phases,

660
01:06:34,450 --> 01:06:37,210
economic development and development services department.

661
01:06:37,570 --> 01:06:43,290
It was three years ago, I think, when we approached and started talking with Scott Donahee

662
01:06:43,290 --> 01:06:46,130
about recruiting the craft gear industry.

663
01:06:46,730 --> 01:06:49,370
And I don't know, Gary, if you remember,

664
01:06:49,910 --> 01:07:01,130
On the initiative, one was Stone Brew in the RFP, they had for the city, it was like, yeah, this is a lot our partner, so we have some great partners, thanks to the staffs effort on that.

665
01:07:01,350 --> 01:07:07,550
They provided us with concierge services for our property owners for new and existing businesses that's been extremely helpful.

666
01:07:07,970 --> 01:07:13,870
The communications department collaborates with us on social media, on marketing and promotions.

667
01:07:13,870 --> 01:07:21,590
And again, Chulavista, PDE, public works, we all work together, you know, most of the time with

668
01:07:21,590 --> 01:07:28,450
miles on our face and are in our hearts, but we again, we wouldn't be able to do without

669
01:07:28,450 --> 01:07:30,970
the support of everyone at this city and the departments.

670
01:07:31,550 --> 01:07:36,310
The community is also interested in the success of third avenue in the city of Chulavista.

671
01:07:36,570 --> 01:07:42,090
They support us through our events, not only just in Chulavista, but throughout San Diego.

672
01:07:42,890 --> 01:07:48,770
When, I think, Mayor Solis, you can remember when we had the graph beer presentation at

673
01:07:48,770 --> 01:07:54,730
first Friday, and I think it was Tony Rassell said he works at Fall Brewing, and he sees

674
01:07:54,730 --> 01:07:59,070
a lot of IDs from Chula Vista, and then our goal was, like, we got to get those guys

675
01:07:59,070 --> 01:07:59,430
back.

676
01:07:59,510 --> 01:08:06,300
We got to get those people to stay, and that was a motivator back then to bring people back

677
01:08:06,300 --> 01:08:13,560
or back now into third avenue, but you'll list our community has totally embraced and infused

678
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:19,680
the excitement of the breweries, the tasting rooms, the potential new restaurants, as well as

679
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:25,880
the new public arts space, that the city is working on. They've increased our interaction on social

680
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:32,840
media and now we're actually hosting events or having communications as bringing other organizations

681
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,140
to throw it out in you like this Sunday we're going to have the first

682
01:08:36,140 --> 01:08:44,480
cyclovista and I wore my bicycle dress in support of on those

683
01:08:44,480 --> 01:08:49,140
collaborations they're very important for us our businesses can actually do what I

684
01:08:49,140 --> 01:08:54,380
call piggyback marketing they can actually work with those organizations they

685
01:08:54,380 --> 01:08:58,560
can stay open different hours we encourage them to like for this event to be

686
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:07,020
been on Sunday. And then our top of Propheoners and business owners are really getting more support

687
01:09:07,020 --> 01:09:13,120
from them. They have been enhancing the need for embracing the need for change. It's been

688
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:18,160
somewhat difficult for our established businesses that have been here for 30-plus years.

689
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:23,140
But I'll tell you, I am so excited when Propheoners are calling me and saying,

690
01:09:23,140 --> 01:09:29,600
We end what's happening in the village, and of course my media reactions, I don't know, do you have something that you need help with?

691
01:09:29,820 --> 01:09:32,320
People are calling me, they want me to sell my property.

692
01:09:33,440 --> 01:09:45,580
So I, in the five years, having those calls in the last like 90 days or so, have been very encouraging as well as business owners wanting to improve and grow and saying,

693
01:09:45,580 --> 01:09:53,280
This isn't really going to be the time for us to search, and I'm like yes, and so they're embracing the change.

694
01:09:53,820 --> 01:10:01,760
They're obtaining guidance from economic development. Again, utilizing the trespass letter, I think you're all probably familiar with that.

695
01:10:01,780 --> 01:10:13,220
And then the long-term property owners are actually considering the sale of their properties to new investors that realize that we have to change to stay relevant in the community.

696
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:20,960
So, to sum that up, working together for success follows in my path of the last five years,

697
01:10:21,340 --> 01:10:25,220
and Latava, and through the Board of Directors, the Streets Gate Master Plan originally

698
01:10:25,220 --> 01:10:31,820
started in June 2012, a huge investment from the city, and I, Gary, I had that check for you

699
01:10:31,820 --> 01:10:37,980
for our final payment to our contribution. I should say to space one, the new investors and craft

700
01:10:37,980 --> 01:10:41,280
Beer Infusion came in 2015 to 2016.

701
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,080
Peabed renewal happened in 2016, so we know we're here

702
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:46,600
for at least another 10 years.

703
01:10:47,300 --> 01:10:50,580
And then in the fall of 2017, we should be having new businesses,

704
01:10:50,780 --> 01:10:53,640
two new breweries, three tasting rooms, a coffee house,

705
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:54,840
and a public art space.

706
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:56,140
That's success.

707
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:59,420
And thank you very much to the City Council,

708
01:10:59,660 --> 01:11:02,540
to City staff, to City Hall, and to our community

709
01:11:03,700 --> 01:11:06,780
for banding together holding those hands and working

710
01:11:06,780 --> 01:11:08,920
towards that goal. Thank you very much.

711
01:11:13,940 --> 01:11:17,720
Thank you, Louanne. And I can attest that downtown

712
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:23,200
Third Avenue is really hopping. It's beautiful. The transformation is amazing. And Patricia

713
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:32,400
Aguilar represents that area and she wants to say a few words. Thank you, Madam Mayor. So not only

714
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:39,780
has Third Avenue village been transformed as a result of the Third Avenue streetscape project,

715
01:11:39,780 --> 01:11:47,100
But Tava, as an organization, has been totally transformed in the six years that I've been

716
01:11:47,100 --> 01:11:55,780
here in this seat, it's become a much more business-like professional proactive association.

717
01:11:56,640 --> 01:12:04,420
It's my pleasure to attend their monthly meetings and the engagement by the board is a pleasure

718
01:12:04,420 --> 01:12:12,060
to see, and I'm just thrilled as to what's happened to, to Tava and Third Avenue over the

719
01:12:12,060 --> 01:12:19,420
time that I've been here. And I also wanted to do a plug for Psychic Levista. I am so excited

720
01:12:19,420 --> 01:12:23,920
about that event. What we're going to be doing for those of you who are not familiar is closing

721
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:31,160
Third Avenue to all cars, all vehicles. I think it's between the hours of 11 and 2, was that right?

722
01:12:33,460 --> 01:12:35,360
between 11 and 3.

723
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,060
All right, for four hours, you'll be able to wander around the streets,

724
01:12:39,340 --> 01:12:43,420
ride your bike, hang out, not have to worry about cars.

725
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:49,480
And I'm hoping that that cyclists that will be the first of many such people

726
01:12:49,480 --> 01:12:56,080
friendly close to cars, the events in our historic downtown village.

727
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:56,820
Thank you, Louie.

728
01:12:58,650 --> 01:12:59,910
Thank you, Mr. McKen.

729
01:13:01,230 --> 01:13:04,730
Thank you very much, Louie and I want to appreciate

730
01:13:04,730 --> 01:13:09,390
your leadership, and the P-Bid I think was a very, very huge thing that people

731
01:13:09,390 --> 01:13:16,130
don't realize that was substantial. In every day I go down to Third Avenue, I think things

732
01:13:16,130 --> 01:13:21,390
get better and better at the signage, the community, the working together, the

733
01:13:21,390 --> 01:13:28,570
the ineffication, and growing up in Chulavista, I've started remember going to

734
01:13:28,570 --> 01:13:35,130
bellows and needing there, and third avenue is the heart of Chulavista, the history, the

735
01:13:35,130 --> 01:13:40,830
remembrance, all the great people, and it will continue to be a great star in our city.

736
01:13:41,070 --> 01:13:42,270
So thank you very much for your effort.

737
01:13:43,390 --> 01:13:44,470
Thank you very much.

738
01:13:45,450 --> 01:13:50,410
So speaking of Taven, somebody that was an outstanding leader there while she was president,

739
01:13:51,550 --> 01:13:58,310
we are going to bid a sad farewell to one of Chulavista's finest residents, Christine Moore,

740
01:13:58,310 --> 01:14:11,370
Christine, would you please approach the podium and let's, okay, so what I'd like to do is you know you've gotten a lot of outcolates.

741
01:14:12,430 --> 01:14:22,930
You've got a proclamation today naming Christine more day in the County of San Diego. Last week they give you one at the City of San Diego, but you know in

742
01:14:22,930 --> 01:14:27,570
service that we do things differently and we don't just want to give you a

743
01:14:27,570 --> 01:14:33,590
proclamation for a day. We actually want to give you the keys to the city and I'll

744
01:14:33,590 --> 01:14:38,110
tell you what this is. It's something that's very rarely done, but it just means

745
01:14:38,110 --> 01:14:45,130
that the door is open to our hometown girl. She moves away to Bicellia and that with

746
01:14:45,130 --> 01:14:50,530
this key Christine, you can come to tell us at any time you've just made some such

747
01:14:50,530 --> 01:14:55,850
tremendous contributions to our city over the years that you've lived here, whether it was

748
01:14:55,850 --> 01:14:58,590
professionally, whether it was serving on board.

749
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:27,680
Cultural Arts Commission, chairing that Commission, being the chair of Tava and really being the catalyst to move Tava to a bigger level. I mean, you know, a more professional level and really getting the just the amazing way that you are a people connector and that you have made so many friends that are going to miss you terribly. I have your address.

750
01:15:28,780 --> 01:15:32,980
I know where you live in. I know where you live in, I know where you live in by Celia. It's

751
01:15:32,980 --> 01:15:38,640
very close to your ceremony when my ever places to visit. And so all of us on the City

752
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:44,240
Council would like to step down and give you the key to the city. But first of all, when

753
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:53,480
you're very good buddies, Steve Pidea wants to say something. Thank you. Thank you, madam.

754
01:15:57,680 --> 01:16:04,100
I think the symbolism involved with giving the key to the city to an amazing human being

755
01:16:04,100 --> 01:16:06,140
like you, Christine, it falls short still.

756
01:16:07,460 --> 01:16:12,800
For those of you who may not know, the keys to cities have been given out for centuries,

757
01:16:13,540 --> 01:16:15,200
a tradition that goes back to Europe.

758
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:20,760
It's traditionally been reserved only for the most esteemed,

759
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:27,440
The most honored members of the community who have far outpaste through their actions, their

760
01:16:27,440 --> 01:16:29,040
love and commitment to a given community.

761
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:34,460
It's in my 25 years in public life, I think I've seen the city of the city of Cholovice

762
01:16:34,460 --> 01:16:35,460
to give it out once.

763
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:40,680
And I'm really happy to be part of this presentation to you.

764
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:48,680
Christine Moore is not just a professional acquaintance or a fellow person involved in government.

765
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:53,300
But she's a dear personal friend, a close friend.

766
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:57,280
Her children are like my children.

767
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,540
I want to swim rain in the city with the camera ready to go.

768
01:17:04,140 --> 01:17:06,760
Our daughters grew up went to school together,

769
01:17:06,900 --> 01:17:08,660
some a very young age.

770
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,760
She has nursed my daughter Ashley when she was sick,

771
01:17:13,820 --> 01:17:16,980
and I have nursed Celine when she was sick.

772
01:17:19,620 --> 01:17:26,220
What I love and respect about you Christine is that you bring a new meaning to the word commitment and to heart.

773
01:17:27,060 --> 01:17:33,780
Everything I have ever seen you do, and all the years I have known you, you have given every fiber of your being to.

774
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:39,140
But what I'd like to speak to, just briefly, is not all your professional accomplishments.

775
01:17:39,440 --> 01:17:44,240
I mean, your resume is unbelievable, and it could take all data reader proclamation about all the boards you sit on.

776
01:17:44,240 --> 01:18:03,700
It's love some of that energy, but as a human being, I've shared with you and watched you be an incredible mom, be an incredible human being, deal with adversity of the worst kind, painful adversity, and come out on top.

777
01:18:03,700 --> 01:18:07,700
And I just want you to know that I'm more than proud to know you,

778
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:12,120
a professional level, but most of all,

779
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,600
I'm incredibly proud of you as my dear friend.

780
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:17,960
And I'm going to miss you not being around to call me up,

781
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:20,340
and you help me about something to do with AT&T.

782
01:18:21,660 --> 01:18:22,420
Which, yes, you do.

783
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:26,600
But I just love you, and I respect you.

784
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:29,940
You've made an impact in this community, and so congratulations, my friend.

785
01:18:30,020 --> 01:18:32,280
So very much, you're more than deserve this recognition.

786
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:33,500
Thank you.

787
01:18:33,540 --> 01:18:33,860
Thank you.

788
01:18:33,900 --> 01:18:34,300
Thank you so much.

789
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,280
Thank you.

790
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:36,920
Thank you.

791
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:37,360
Thank you.

792
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:31,940
And then I wasn't expected.

793
01:19:39,930 --> 01:19:41,350
I was just wondering how to set up.

794
01:19:41,950 --> 01:19:43,830
We chose to make sure that it's to our home.

795
01:19:45,130 --> 01:19:49,070
And I wanted a feeling that was good enough that we could have all of it in losing

796
01:19:49,070 --> 01:19:49,710
and letting it in.

797
01:19:50,310 --> 01:19:53,310
Great parks and safe streets and good schools.

798
01:19:54,550 --> 01:19:57,690
But I wanted to be small enough that it's like what's decided to put it.

799
01:19:57,690 --> 01:20:02,910
somebody recognized them in public and they didn't imagine my surprising that happens.

800
01:20:03,570 --> 01:20:04,670
Right, man.

801
01:20:06,690 --> 01:20:08,790
But you have to come to the end.

802
01:20:10,070 --> 01:20:16,550
You know, just tonight, all the comments we heard, all the things that were talked about in the presentation before then.

803
01:20:16,970 --> 01:20:18,690
That's what makes this pretty amazing.

804
01:20:21,090 --> 01:20:27,690
And the diversity and the welcome that we provide to everybody who chooses to make a community

805
01:20:27,690 --> 01:20:28,630
at home.

806
01:20:29,150 --> 01:20:31,830
I have worked with each of you on a lot of issues.

807
01:20:32,530 --> 01:20:38,990
And I have helped you celebrate for, you know, military service of yourselves or your spouses,

808
01:20:39,590 --> 01:20:43,890
and watching your kids grow up and celebrating graduations and trips and marriages.

809
01:20:44,950 --> 01:20:47,170
I have a finger, so I've been to go for a inventory.

810
01:20:47,590 --> 01:20:48,470
I'm getting a finger.

811
01:20:48,570 --> 01:20:51,330
I wasn't all the things that my brain's runway.

812
01:20:53,850 --> 01:20:56,670
We see more from here and my neighbors and my family here.

813
01:20:56,750 --> 01:21:00,590
And she looked at it, yeah, they're stiff at the way and I am...

814
01:21:00,590 --> 01:21:01,890
I'm so sorry to you.

815
01:21:02,270 --> 01:21:03,890
But I'm sorry.

816
01:21:04,590 --> 01:21:06,370
I'm sorry to you all.

817
01:21:06,390 --> 01:21:07,370
I'm sorry to you

818
01:21:09,770 --> 01:21:10,090
all.

819
01:21:10,090 --> 01:21:10,570
So I'm so sorry to you all.

820
01:21:10,570 --> 01:21:11,650
Mom and dad, bye to everyone.

821
01:21:20,420 --> 01:21:20,700
Bye.

822
01:21:20,700 --> 01:21:22,300
You have physical degrees like myatal activity.

823
01:21:22,300 --> 01:21:24,380
to do good things in the city.

824
01:21:24,580 --> 01:21:25,280
It doesn't have to be.

825
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:28,700
Or that really cool stuff, like living codes,

826
01:21:28,980 --> 01:21:30,160
because they're not able to just association

827
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:31,960
and traffic. We just sort of put all those things

828
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:34,060
when you're talking about work, those groups are amazing.

829
01:21:34,700 --> 01:21:37,180
And they do such good work and are happy to work this time.

830
01:21:37,300 --> 01:21:38,940
All their efforts over the last couple of days.

831
01:21:38,940 --> 01:21:40,420
Okay, so thank you.

832
01:21:40,700 --> 01:21:43,460
Let us thank you for letting me back part of this

833
01:21:43,460 --> 01:21:45,240
and part of what experience we're in there,

834
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:46,400
raising my family here,

835
01:21:46,480 --> 01:21:48,820
and it helps me to come back sooner rather than later.

836
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:49,760
Thank you.

837
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:14,320
Okay.

838
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:22,650
night we're like extra have been proclamations. So we have Glenn Gurgons and he's going to

839
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:30,520
he's a it's a proclamation to the city it's no it's not too Glenn it's not too Glenn but I'm going

840
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:37,820
to let Glenn read the proclamation proclaiming Monday may first as Laude in the city of Chulvista.

841
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:46,160
Thank you Madam Mayor. It's my pleasure to be here to celebrate with you the

842
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:51,060
Proclamation of Loday. It's a very nice turnout for Loday. I think I'm doing better

843
01:22:51,060 --> 01:22:56,260
over here with that. I think this is the first year that Madam Mayor that I

844
01:22:56,260 --> 01:23:00,120
revertracted media attention. So I appreciate that as well that you guys are here

845
01:23:00,900 --> 01:23:08,180
to cover the Loday. I am truly honored to have with me today a co-sellabrint.

846
01:23:09,940 --> 01:23:18,520
I've got Carlos Farrellow with me today. Carlos is the assistant chief of the South Bay division of the district attorney's office.

847
01:23:19,100 --> 01:23:25,320
He's been at it for longer than his youthful appearance might suggest, but really does extraordinary work.

848
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:30,640
He's risen up the ranks in the district attorney's office to be kind of seconded command down at South Bay.

849
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:35,000
very important duty, he is also a tool Mr. Resident for many years.

850
01:23:35,260 --> 01:23:38,560
So, I happen to have Carlos here and he'll have a portion of the presentation

851
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:39,400
a little later in.

852
01:23:40,900 --> 01:23:46,320
There, as you know by now, law days celebrated every May 1st.

853
01:23:46,340 --> 01:23:51,980
It's a national day of recognition that began with President Eisenhower in 1958.

854
01:23:52,980 --> 01:23:59,120
The general idea then, as it is now 57 years later, is to promote a better understanding

855
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:05,780
of the law to remind people of the important world of the law plays in a democratic civilized

856
01:24:05,780 --> 01:24:11,000
society, and to encourage people to take action in favor of legal justice.

857
01:24:12,220 --> 01:24:15,440
Each year, a different law, day-fiend, is chosen.

858
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:22,980
Past themes have included, you may recall, the importance of the court system, equality in

859
01:24:22,980 --> 01:24:30,380
Social Justice, voting rights, the magna carda, and last year's celebration of the 50th anniversary

860
01:24:30,380 --> 01:24:32,540
of the very important Miranda case.

861
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:39,060
This year's law theme, and I know you're all very excited to hear it, is there some

862
01:24:39,060 --> 01:24:45,540
suspense in the room, is the 14th Amendment transforming American democracy.

863
01:24:46,760 --> 01:25:05,460
So since this talks about the Constitution, I was tempted to provide everyone something I've got some notoriety of it, a performance of the pre-under to the United States Constitution that I learned on perhaps the best Saturday morning kids show in history history walk.

864
01:25:06,380 --> 01:25:13,540
Unfortunately, that is taught by singing, and so I will spare you all my voices and quite

865
01:25:13,540 --> 01:25:17,180
what it used to be when I was a kid. It was very charming when I did it as a child. I

866
01:25:17,180 --> 01:25:21,240
will spare you that. But instead of that, I want to talk to you a little bit about the

867
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:26,200
4th month of amendment, it's an important role in American history. Most of you will probably

868
01:25:26,200 --> 01:25:33,280
very familiar with the first 10 amendments. These were proposed and then adopted in 1791 all

869
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:37,660
together as a cluster and they became known as the Bill of Rights, and these established

870
01:25:37,660 --> 01:25:43,000
an embed, you know, in the fabric of our civil society, some really key principles, religious

871
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:50,300
freedom, free speech, the right to bear arms, the prohibition on unlawful searches and seizures,

872
01:25:51,180 --> 01:25:56,540
due process, the right to affair trial and the preservation of states rights.

873
01:25:57,660 --> 01:25:59,400
And then things were quiet for a while.

874
01:25:59,620 --> 01:26:05,100
They seemed to work pretty well, but 75 years later, in the wake of the civil rule, there

875
01:26:05,100 --> 01:26:09,540
was another cluster of very, very important foundational amendments.

876
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:14,380
And a lot of them responded to, of course, the condition of slavery and the abolishment

877
01:26:14,380 --> 01:26:15,140
of slavery.

878
01:26:15,380 --> 01:26:21,040
But they had much more broad application and universal benefit beyond that.

879
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:24,480
The 13th Amendment, of course, on the abolished slavery.

880
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:28,340
The 15th Amendment, a few years later, ratified in 1870,

881
01:26:28,860 --> 01:26:33,640
assured everyone, but with a target of the recently freed slaves

882
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:37,120
blocks with the right to vote, in between that came

883
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:38,200
the 14th Amendment.

884
01:26:38,660 --> 01:26:41,660
In the 14th Amendment, which was proposed in 1866,

885
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,780
and ratified in 1868, was commonly known as the Civil Rights

886
01:26:45,780 --> 01:26:46,160
Amendment.

887
01:26:46,700 --> 01:26:49,140
There's a lot of kind of, there's some ranking parts of it

888
01:26:49,140 --> 01:26:50,400
that don't get focused on.

889
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:54,380
But the really key part where the action is is in Section 1.

890
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:57,720
In Section 1 provides that all persons that are born

891
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,700
or naturalized in the United States are citizens

892
01:27:00,700 --> 01:27:03,980
of the United States, entitled to all the rights

893
01:27:03,980 --> 01:27:06,140
and privileges of citizenship.

894
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:08,960
Again, the target of that was recently

895
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:11,700
freight, freed black slaves in order to make sure

896
01:27:11,700 --> 01:27:14,340
that they have the rights and protections

897
01:27:14,340 --> 01:27:15,420
that everybody else did.

898
01:27:15,740 --> 01:27:17,940
Obviously, the practical reality of that

899
01:27:17,940 --> 01:27:21,000
I didn't come too much later and still is a struggle today.

900
01:27:22,300 --> 01:27:25,520
But the way I'm essence of it, I'm more

901
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:28,720
an additional key part of it was that no state was allowed

902
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:31,640
to make any laws that abridged the privileges

903
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:33,280
and immunities of citizens.

904
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:36,760
More where they allowed to deprive any person of life,

905
01:27:36,940 --> 01:27:39,600
liberty, or property without due process.

906
01:27:39,900 --> 01:27:42,560
Nor did I anyone equal protection of the laws.

907
01:27:43,460 --> 01:27:45,980
These rights advance the bill of rights.

908
01:27:45,980 --> 01:27:52,120
So further and apply the bill of rights to the states through a doctrine called the incorporation

909
01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:55,540
doctrine, a lot of the other provisions of the bill of rights got extended to the states

910
01:27:55,540 --> 01:27:55,900
as well.

911
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:02,080
This was really crucial in order to make sure that, again, in the wake of the civil war, that

912
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:06,760
not only was the federal government responsible and respectful of people rights, but that

913
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:09,140
the states and local government were as well.

914
01:28:09,140 --> 01:28:16,440
40th amendment has been key to almost every significant piece of civil rights legislation

915
01:28:16,440 --> 01:28:22,480
and to cases interpreting the constitution to protect people civil rights.

916
01:28:22,700 --> 01:28:30,280
A lot of days is teaching, but it's also a challenge to the legal community to make sure

917
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:35,020
that we are doing what we can to engage the community and promote the idea of civil

918
01:28:35,020 --> 01:28:42,660
society in the world of law and that. And I'd like to now invite Mr. Varella to the

919
01:28:42,660 --> 01:28:46,200
microphone to describe a little bit about the District Attorney's Office does in that

920
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:46,780
department.

921
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:48,420
Thank you, Glenn.

922
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:55,400
Madam Mayor, City Council members, City Manager. Good afternoon. It's an honor to be here,

923
01:28:55,460 --> 01:28:59,440
especially with the people that have come up here and spoken today. I'm Holocaust survivors,

924
01:29:00,060 --> 01:29:03,940
people who've been amazing things as being a residential, a best that's really an honor to be here today.

925
01:29:03,940 --> 01:29:08,060
My name is Carlos Rara, I'm the Assistant Chief of the Deos Office here in Tulivista.

926
01:29:09,780 --> 01:29:16,520
We are, in essence, the community, the 35 loars out of the 300 that are at the Deos

927
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:16,980
Office.

928
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:23,260
We have some of the most talented loars in the county working to keep our city safe.

929
01:29:23,420 --> 01:29:26,120
We work hand in hand with the Tulivista Police Department.

930
01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:27,460
I know some of them are here today.

931
01:29:28,300 --> 01:29:30,280
I tell you what I've worked 20 years as a prosecutor.

932
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,120
you have one of the finest police departments in the county,

933
01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:35,540
I'm working to keep the streets of Chile with us a safe.

934
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:38,860
One of the things that we do is we will be

935
01:29:38,860 --> 01:29:41,960
prosecuting cases from San Pedro, to National City,

936
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:46,580
from Coronado, to East Lake, and we have a thousands of cases a year.

937
01:29:47,480 --> 01:29:49,320
We are dedicated to the pursuit of justice,

938
01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:51,820
protection of the instant,

939
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,320
pursuit of the truth, and the prevention of crime.

940
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:58,500
The side of them are our day-to-day court duties,

941
01:29:58,500 --> 01:29:58,680
Thank you.

942
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:05,840
In cases, we have a district attorney body to monitor who encourages us to get on the community and be part of the community.

943
01:30:06,220 --> 01:30:12,460
For me, it's easiest, especially since Chulabissa is my home. I've been a lifelong member of the South Bay community.

944
01:30:13,620 --> 01:30:22,700
One of the things that we do is, every week, we have prosecutors out in the community speaking and educating the public about various topics, whether it's human trafficking, elder abuse,

945
01:30:23,660 --> 01:30:29,620
I know Mayor Siles, I've spoken to you in some of the events with you talking about gain prevention.

946
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:35,560
Talking about parents about how warning signs for kids that are getting involved in gangs and how to...

947
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:39,620
Things just spot when you think your kid might be hanging out with a wrong crowd.

948
01:30:40,140 --> 01:30:40,960
Identity of you.

949
01:30:41,060 --> 01:30:41,640
Identity of you.

950
01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:43,720
Two world justice internet crimes.

951
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:44,540
Child abuse.

952
01:30:45,020 --> 01:30:48,260
Just to countless member things that we are there both to get out and speak your group.

953
01:30:48,260 --> 01:30:53,840
So if any of you, anybody in the public, if you have a topic that you want to speak about,

954
01:30:54,140 --> 01:30:54,520
let us know.

955
01:30:54,620 --> 01:30:58,020
We have experts in the office for when you go out and speak to your groups.

956
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:06,560
Other things we're doing here in the south-east specifically, we hope kids, high-square kids.

957
01:31:07,020 --> 01:31:09,000
There are no middle school kids as well.

958
01:31:09,260 --> 01:31:15,960
Just last week, we hope south-west high school, where we had students sit with judges and

959
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:21,340
and talk about their jobs, and how they become lawyers, how they can become judges.

960
01:31:21,900 --> 01:31:27,900
Last year, we had a program called Open Doris Suggestus, where we trained at Montgomery High School students

961
01:31:27,900 --> 01:31:29,280
to present a case.

962
01:31:29,620 --> 01:31:33,640
Present the defense, present the prosecution, every Friday, and we're going to meet with the kids,

963
01:31:33,820 --> 01:31:37,380
teaching how to cross-examine a witness, how to present an opening argument.

964
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:44,040
And the key thing with all this is to teach them that they can do whatever they want, if they keep going

965
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:52,140
school. If the kid from San Jose do it, which is where I grew up, can go to UCSD, can go to

966
01:31:52,140 --> 01:31:55,360
law school and become a prosecutor for 20 years, well, they can be whatever they want.

967
01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:59,480
So that's the message that we want to send the kids if they keep going to school, they can

968
01:31:59,480 --> 01:32:03,760
be whatever they want. So thank you. And thank you for allowing me the opportunity to

969
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:07,200
celebrate this very important event. Thank you. Thank you very much.

970
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:14,620
Thank you for the reminder on the court on the 14th of men's and the due process clause.

971
01:32:15,260 --> 01:32:20,540
One of the things that's really troubling today is that there's such a big delay in getting

972
01:32:20,540 --> 01:32:23,260
civil and criminal matters heard in court.

973
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:28,760
The saying is just a delayed is just a denied.

974
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:35,340
So it's something that we really have to see that there's more judges appointed.

975
01:32:36,540 --> 01:32:40,600
So the cases could be heard in a more expeditious manner.

976
01:32:41,380 --> 01:32:42,400
Thank you.

977
01:32:42,500 --> 01:32:42,820
Thank you.

978
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:44,040
One last comment.

979
01:32:44,860 --> 01:32:45,760
The city of Kerala.

980
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:49,840
There is very active in sponsoring law day and law re-cactivities.

981
01:32:50,140 --> 01:32:51,540
And I wanted to give a little shout out to them.

982
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:52,860
They were not able to be here this year.

983
01:32:52,980 --> 01:32:57,620
But they've been active in this program for years and years.

984
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:02,200
And providing free legal resources to the community since 1891.

985
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:10,160
They've got four branch offices in Vista, alcohol, downtown San Diego, and here in Chula Vista.

986
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:18,520
You've heard a presentation in early 2016 from Library Director Betty Wazons about the partnership with the county law library.

987
01:33:19,220 --> 01:33:27,240
They're satellite office down here is now actually a key ask with two terminals situated right on our Civic Center Library.

988
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,840
I went over there to check it out this morning.

989
01:33:30,040 --> 01:33:34,360
They've got really great links to a lot of useful legal resources for the community in order

990
01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:38,860
to familiarize themselves with the laws and potentially get assistance with legal issues

991
01:33:38,860 --> 01:33:39,820
that they have.

992
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:46,680
Those key ask and those terminals are available to the public really during all of library hours,

993
01:33:46,900 --> 01:33:50,660
but they're in addition staffed by county law library personnel.

994
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:56,420
Every second and fourth Monday of every month from 10 to 2 p.m.

995
01:33:56,420 --> 01:34:02,460
So they also have special programs there from time to time and in recognition of

996
01:34:02,460 --> 01:34:04,480
a law day in raw week.

997
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:08,220
On May 2nd, Madam Mayor, they're going to actually have a bonus session of the legal

998
01:34:08,220 --> 01:34:14,920
resources fair from 10 to 2 p.m. I would be there as well myself from 10 to 12 p.m.

999
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:19,160
to provide the assistance and answer questions that anyone might have.

1000
01:34:19,660 --> 01:34:22,220
So that's all I've got this year, Madam Mayor, appreciate recognition of

1001
01:34:22,220 --> 01:34:29,400
that day 2017 and frankly the real that this Council plays an encouraging civil society and

1002
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:31,620
and respect for the law in our fair city of China.

1003
01:34:31,900 --> 01:34:33,140
Thank you so much.

1004
01:34:33,480 --> 01:34:33,780
Thank you.

1005
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:42,180
With that we will move on to the consent calendar again item number one and item number three have

1006
01:34:42,180 --> 01:34:48,320
been pulled and so the balance of the consent calendar is item number two and item number

1007
01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:49,140

1008
01:34:49,220 --> 01:34:51,700
Motion to approve item number two and number four.

1020
01:36:02,100 --> 01:36:07,920

Code of Regulation and State of Two, section 5, 7, and 0.5, end of this egg calendar.

1024
01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:31,000
Please vote,

1025
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:38,180
consent calendar passes unanimously.

1026
01:36:39,020 --> 01:36:41,020
We're going to move on to public comments.

1027
01:36:41,440 --> 01:36:47,100
Now, under the action items, there was a request by staff to continue that item 8 until

1028
01:36:47,100 --> 01:36:54,880
meeting of May the 9th, but there were three people that submitted requests to speak on number

1029
01:36:54,880 --> 01:37:01,180
8. Now that is not part of the agenda now. So if you still want to speak under that item,

1030
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:08,300
you can do so under public comments. So if you still want to speak on what was the item 8,

1031
01:37:08,300 --> 01:37:11,740
The first speaker that I have is Kathleen Lipick.

1032
01:37:14,930 --> 01:37:15,770
Welcome Kathleen.

1033
01:37:21,210 --> 01:37:39,290
We have a petition in here on behalf of the Sandiagans for safe neighborhoods coalition of individuals throughout the county concerned with the associated harms that come from commercial and recreational marijuana activities.

1034
01:37:39,290 --> 01:37:46,610
Thank you for your intention and consideration to remind you many codes to increase daily civil penalties,

1035
01:37:47,390 --> 01:37:54,690
prohibit all commercial and recreational activities and add marijuana to your existing social host ordinances and other drugs.

1036
01:37:55,370 --> 01:37:59,710
It is commendable for at least two significant reasons.

1037
01:38:00,150 --> 01:38:05,610
Other cities have paved or capitulated to the pressure exerted by self-interest marijuana advocates.

1038
01:38:05,610 --> 01:38:12,390
and to your action speaks volumes about your integrity and concern, for youth and communities.

1039
01:38:13,230 --> 01:38:17,550
Thank you for appreciating that regulations are never the true goal of the marijuana industry,

1040
01:38:17,630 --> 01:38:20,830
but the weaknesses they will exploit and then work to eliminate.

1041
01:38:21,790 --> 01:38:25,290
Non-matter revenues can cover the criminal justice costs,

1042
01:38:25,550 --> 01:38:30,210
loss productivity, health care costs, driving fatalities, academic failures,

1043
01:38:30,590 --> 01:38:34,630
treatment and addiction costs, workplace injuries, environmental damage

1044
01:38:34,630 --> 01:38:42,730
that narrowing the activities brain for your concern, for you, for families and communities,

1045
01:38:44,010 --> 01:38:49,490
is as reliable and they are fortunate to benefit from your leadership.

1046
01:38:50,250 --> 01:38:50,530
Thank you.

1047
01:38:50,730 --> 01:38:51,530
Thank you very much.

1048
01:38:51,830 --> 01:38:53,530
Next speaker is Joe Everstein.

1049
01:38:56,870 --> 01:39:00,910
And then the next speaker is Mary Roach.

1050
01:39:02,210 --> 01:39:02,870
Is Mary here?

1051
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:06,220
Okay.

1052
01:39:06,220 --> 01:39:10,220
They'll have an opportunity when we hear it on the 9th.

1053
01:39:11,940 --> 01:39:20,540
So with that, we will move on to the action items and I don't number 5.

1054
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,080
So I have number 5 is a report on a China rebate commission.

1055
01:39:24,860 --> 01:39:30,080
Yes, I'm so sorry. I believe there may be one additional public speaker on 8.

1056
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:32,800
No, not on 8, but public comments.

1057
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:33,360
Oh,

1058
01:39:45,300 --> 01:39:47,840
I'm not seeing it.

1059
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:53,160
Is there anyone else wanting to speak?

1060
01:39:53,420 --> 01:39:54,800
Yeah, I'm just a guy who's raising me.

1061
01:39:54,800 --> 01:39:56,880
Okay, and this is, I'm not on the agenda.

1062
01:39:56,980 --> 01:39:57,640
Yes, that's right.

1063
01:39:58,120 --> 01:39:59,380
Okay, please welcome.

1064
01:40:04,130 --> 01:40:05,150
Oh, Robert Solomon.

1065
01:40:05,790 --> 01:40:06,410
Oh, thank you.

1066
01:40:06,610 --> 01:40:07,070
I didn't hear.

1067
01:40:08,450 --> 01:40:09,990
It says number nine here.

1068
01:40:11,930 --> 01:40:12,630
Well, there's two.

1069
01:40:12,810 --> 01:40:13,390
There's two.

1070
01:40:14,350 --> 01:40:14,470
There's two.

1071
01:40:14,470 --> 01:40:15,610
Don't start to clap please.

1072
01:40:17,700 --> 01:40:18,180
Okay.

1073
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:19,120
Okay.

1074
01:40:19,700 --> 01:40:22,720
I'd like to tell you that it meant me to become...

1075
01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:28,760
in American citizens that happened a long time ago, my life and daughter came here as immigrants

1076
01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:31,700
and both from Asian countries, both from different countries.

1077
01:40:32,420 --> 01:40:38,100
And I'd like to pass around, I'm very proud of these copies of their naturalization certificates,

1078
01:40:38,380 --> 01:40:40,880
and I'm going to go to the city club, can you pass that on?

1079
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:46,540
No.

1080
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:58,600
I'd like to be maybe as a neighbor or a station found a batter, and my daughter was four years

1081
01:40:58,600 --> 01:41:05,240
that time. And we went to read on the battle for at least one end as a citizen. As a

1082
01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:09,920
new woman citizen, you're kind of taking it for granted. I was really taking back by the

1083
01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:14,800
ceremonies. I was amazed. The governor of Nat and the Vatican order for the ceremony was

1084
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:21,820
three other people that took the oath for citizenship. The judge was very nice. It was just

1085
01:41:21,820 --> 01:41:27,300
really great. And as I was taking the oath of citizenship from my infant daughter,

1086
01:41:30,340 --> 01:41:37,800
I was looking at the gentleman next to me who was taking the oath, and he was crying, his tears coming down his eyes.

1087
01:41:38,860 --> 01:41:46,600
And I was taken by this, and when we were done with the oath, I asked him, I said, how long have you been waiting to become a citizen?

1088
01:41:47,620 --> 01:41:51,800
He said, well, I waited eight years to get an interview in the United States.

1089
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:56,760
This journey was from Czechoslovakia at that time, which does not exist anymore.

1090
01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:00,200
And I waited five years to become a citizen.

1091
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:04,260
I said, you've waited 13 years to become a citizen.

1092
01:42:05,020 --> 01:42:07,700
My daughter only had to wait a year because she isn't infinite.

1093
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:10,800
The fact that I was clear military had nothing to do with it.

1094
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:14,280
We didn't get any special considerations or it.

1095
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:17,600
The other certificates of my right, who has since passed,

1096
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:22,220
Unfortunately, I have to get back to Vietnam when she was growing in a couple of years later.

1097
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:29,340
But the ceremony, I really did find out what it was to become a source in this country.

1098
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:30,520
I think you're very much.

1099
01:42:30,820 --> 01:42:32,100
Thank you so much.

1100
01:42:34,730 --> 01:42:38,630
Okay, so we're going to have a really long evening.

1101
01:42:40,530 --> 01:42:40,530
So

1102
01:42:43,090 --> 01:42:44,970
we need to move on.

1103
01:42:44,970 --> 01:42:55,910
So, the next action item is item number six consideration of amending chapter 2.56 of the Cholester Municipal Code.

1104
01:42:56,290 --> 01:42:58,070
Do we have a separate point?

1105
01:42:58,770 --> 01:43:02,930
Thank you, America, see a Salis No, we do not have a staff report. We're available for any questions.

1106
01:43:03,310 --> 01:43:06,450
Okay, thank you very much. She's just an enemy. I skipped number five.

1107
01:43:07,750 --> 01:43:09,890
I don't want to rush this on, okay?

1108
01:43:14,030 --> 01:43:24,550
What we can do is just, since I know questions on this and this is an action item and it's merely a procedural item, I don't have any requests to speak on this item.

1109
01:43:25,570 --> 01:43:31,690
So I'll take a motion for this action item and then I'll move back to item number five if that's okay.

1110
01:43:34,030 --> 01:43:34,550
Okay.

1111
01:43:35,010 --> 01:43:36,110
Mr. Mr.

1112
01:43:36,930 --> 01:43:38,350
Do you want to, do you have a staff?

1113
01:43:39,150 --> 01:43:40,570
Okay, there's no problem.

1114
01:43:40,570 --> 01:43:42,030
I appreciate for the next item.

1115
01:43:42,190 --> 01:43:42,490
Okay.

1116
01:43:42,870 --> 01:43:43,950
Okay, great.

1117
01:43:45,270 --> 01:43:45,410
Okay.

1118
01:43:45,550 --> 01:43:47,970
We had a motion by Mr. Padilla.

1119
01:43:48,310 --> 01:43:49,870
I'll take the second for you.

1120
01:43:50,490 --> 01:43:51,930
So, motion by Mr. Padilla.

1121
01:43:52,190 --> 01:43:54,290
And second by Mr. Aguilar.

1122
01:43:54,810 --> 01:43:56,390
Madam Clerk would you read the heading.

1123
01:43:58,190 --> 01:44:02,070
Item six, ordinance of the City of Children's Amendment in Chapter 2.56

1124
01:44:02,070 --> 01:44:03,870
As a child of the Seminas for Code,

1125
01:44:03,870 --> 01:44:09,110
purchasing system regarding contract limits and authorities associated with city procurement

1126
01:44:09,110 --> 01:44:11,150
practices for treating.

1127
01:44:12,030 --> 01:44:13,090
Please vote

1128
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:26,980
item six passes unanimously, and now we'll go back to item five boards and

1129
01:44:26,980 --> 01:44:29,460
commission's report and now.

1130
01:44:30,240 --> 01:44:34,840
Thank you, Madam Mary and John Ame and Assistant City Attorney, I staffed the Tribal

1131
01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:40,440
Lead Commission for the city and they've been working hard individually and to support

1132
01:44:40,440 --> 01:44:47,200
and have come up with a plan. Every port that was included in your agenda packet, I've got

1133
01:44:47,200 --> 01:44:53,080
summarized as some of the recent work that they've done, some of the work that is in progress

1134
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:58,820
and other plan on and go forward bases. We have heard night the chairperson of the Commission

1135
01:44:58,820 --> 01:44:59,280
I'm caring.

1136
01:45:00,110 --> 01:45:06,890
As well as two of the commissioners, volume felt further, and Tom Donald, and we have a brief presentation

1137
01:45:06,890 --> 01:45:07,550
to give to you.

1138
01:45:07,650 --> 01:45:08,630
Thank you so much.

1139
01:45:08,930 --> 01:45:12,670
Yes, and we understand it with very busy schedule and so we're letting down here.

1140
01:45:13,510 --> 01:45:15,390
I have a presentation with Susan.

1141
01:45:15,830 --> 01:45:16,210
There it is.

1142
01:45:16,750 --> 01:45:22,010
Okay. First one, very pleased that they are taking the time to be able to talk to you here.

1143
01:45:22,070 --> 01:45:25,670
To kind of give you a little status update on the commission because we don't come before you

1144
01:45:25,670 --> 01:45:29,490
very often and with my subcommittee here and I don't know if we have any other members.

1145
01:45:29,490 --> 01:45:34,510
but we've been working diligently on some things and we wanted to also give us kind of our status

1146
01:45:34,510 --> 01:45:40,470
and to give an idea so that you can give us some feedback and some input, perhaps at a future time, but you'd like to do.

1147
01:45:40,610 --> 01:45:45,490
The first thing I'd like to just say, as I always do is we look at what our purpose is, which I'm sure most of you know,

1148
01:45:45,750 --> 01:45:54,070
but we try to keep it in mind that our job is to review the charter and make recommendations to both the Council and the City Manager.

1149
01:45:55,550 --> 01:46:00,610
passed to give you a little update and I didn't talk fast that he helped so I have to

1150
01:46:00,610 --> 01:46:08,030
use the slowdown. In the past, just to refresh your recollection a little bit, the things

1151
01:46:08,030 --> 01:46:14,890
that we have done is in 2012, our permission was responsible for reviewing, seeking input from

1152
01:46:14,890 --> 01:46:24,050
the public as well as researching and then drafting and recommending the changes for the

1153
01:46:24,050 --> 01:46:28,830
to better all those changes, and we were also involved in selecting the District and Commission,

1154
01:46:29,110 --> 01:46:31,310
the first one ever in the City of Tula Buster.

1155
01:46:32,990 --> 01:46:39,950
More recently, in 2014, we updated the section of the charter dealing with contracting

1156
01:46:39,950 --> 01:46:45,150
by public works in order to make it more modern up to date and to better suit the needs of staff

1157
01:46:45,150 --> 01:46:47,110
that the way we've been given it.

1158
01:46:47,990 --> 01:46:52,550
More recently, I'm just going to highlight some of the draft amendments that we have worked on,

1159
01:46:52,550 --> 01:46:57,370
that we have not presented to you yet, we don't have an election coming up very quickly.

1160
01:46:57,690 --> 01:47:01,150
So we have time, but these are some of the highlighted things that we have been working

1161
01:47:01,150 --> 01:47:03,090
on, diligently as a commission.

1162
01:47:03,630 --> 01:47:07,570
And for further detail, it's also, in, I believe, the document that's been given to you

1163
01:47:07,570 --> 01:47:12,070
as a work plan, gives some more detail on it and staff can get more detail or we can do it

1164
01:47:12,070 --> 01:47:13,370
at a future date.

1165
01:47:14,450 --> 01:47:20,150
One of the draft amendments we worked on was a city attorney, the provision of the charter

1166
01:47:20,150 --> 01:47:24,670
which is Section 503, we originally were concerned with making sure that we had a residency

1167
01:47:24,670 --> 01:47:27,790
requirement in order to be in a line with other cities.

1168
01:47:28,570 --> 01:47:33,210
We drafted that, brought it to Council, and then Council requested that we did a comprehensive

1169
01:47:33,210 --> 01:47:36,590
review of the city attorney, which we did do.

1170
01:47:38,270 --> 01:47:44,590
We first, we have drafted a completely comprehensive, which includes the residency requirement,

1171
01:47:44,590 --> 01:47:52,450
which makes our charter and our office more consistent with the other elected city attorneys in the state of California.

1172
01:47:53,190 --> 01:47:55,930
10 out of 11 which do that.

1173
01:47:57,010 --> 01:48:01,410
We also clarified it and updated some of the powers in the duty of the city attorney to make more sense.

1174
01:48:01,590 --> 01:48:04,090
And we did this of course with input from the city attorney's office.

1175
01:48:05,150 --> 01:48:09,530
We worked on the city attorney's salary. This is what council also wanted us to look at.

1176
01:48:09,530 --> 01:48:14,910
We had drafted provision that gives some flexibility to the council in setting the city attorney

1177
01:48:14,910 --> 01:48:19,490
salary in order to allow us to have the highest and most qualified individuals and the

1178
01:48:19,490 --> 01:48:21,730
attorney's applied for the job and keep the job.

1179
01:48:22,830 --> 01:48:24,710
We have worked on the term limits.

1180
01:48:25,370 --> 01:48:28,490
We advise increasing term limits from two to three.

1181
01:48:28,570 --> 01:48:33,510
This is because of the learning curve and such a job like that and the degree of knowledge

1182
01:48:33,510 --> 01:48:37,090
that is necessary to be in the office and retained, we recommended that.

1183
01:48:37,790 --> 01:48:44,550
We finally modified the world of the legislative council based on the advice of the City Attorney's Office to make it a little bit more efficient.

1184
01:48:46,570 --> 01:48:50,590
Another draft amendment that we have worked on was the council member's eligibility in terms.

1185
01:48:51,170 --> 01:48:55,360
We deleted some of the language things that we cleaned up basically because of district elections.

1186
01:48:56,470 --> 01:49:03,630
We renamed the elections for clarification purposes from what was a general election planner from what was the general,

1187
01:49:03,630 --> 01:49:08,410
So the general election to the primary and the November to the general just straightened out

1188
01:49:08,410 --> 01:49:13,130
to make sense in the way that I wrote, we thought it appropriate not to allow right

1189
01:49:13,130 --> 01:49:18,630
in candidates in the general election in November election unless for some unknown reason

1190
01:49:18,630 --> 01:49:20,910
or bizarre reason there was only one candidate.

1191
01:49:21,830 --> 01:49:22,810
We thought that was appropriate.

1192
01:49:23,770 --> 01:49:28,850
We clarified the language we're going to call the one-year sit-out or when a council member

1193
01:49:28,850 --> 01:49:34,310
or official is turned out, at what point that they can begin collecting funds in order to be

1194
01:49:34,310 --> 01:49:35,390
fair with our candidates.

1195
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:41,080
And we did some clarification regarding the death of a candidate.

1196
01:49:41,260 --> 01:49:45,640
We really cleaned up that section as well as made some suggestions. The next draft amendment

1197
01:49:45,640 --> 01:49:50,980
that we have worked on is the further is council vacancies. We further defined what constitutes

1198
01:49:50,980 --> 01:49:56,840
a vague vacancy made it a little bit more specific. We deleted the section on anticipated vacancies

1199
01:49:56,840 --> 01:50:00,900
because that really won't matter once we revive the section on vacancies.

1200
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:09,900
We have revised the process and clarify for filling vacancies to make it really more efficient

1201
01:50:09,900 --> 01:50:12,320
and to make more sense and logical.

1202
01:50:13,780 --> 01:50:18,480
And we also provided a vote by mail option at the Council's discretion

1203
01:50:19,240 --> 01:50:30,640
And as an option, instead of holding a special life election for vacancy, the council can opt to do a vote by mail, which saves a great deal of costs on doing a election.

1204
01:50:31,580 --> 01:50:37,460
For our proposed future work, and this is where we'll need, we'd like your input at some time, but we'd like to know what we're looking at.

1205
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:43,920
We have looked at continuing what we call a summary of view of the charter beginning at the beginning and going straight through.

1206
01:50:43,920 --> 01:50:46,500
in order to try and update it with language that

1207
01:50:46,500 --> 01:50:48,640
clarification that need based on other

1208
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:50,820
trial amendments, just modernization.

1209
01:50:51,420 --> 01:50:54,020
I'll also include input based on staff,

1210
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:55,960
going basically from the front to the back.

1211
01:50:56,380 --> 01:50:57,880
And that's a long thing to do with our charter,

1212
01:50:57,980 --> 01:50:59,740
because you can imagine it's really interesting reading.

1213
01:51:02,120 --> 01:51:03,240
Other potential amendments,

1214
01:51:03,580 --> 01:51:04,440
where you think amendments,

1215
01:51:04,660 --> 01:51:06,240
but we think as a commission are implotent.

1216
01:51:06,960 --> 01:51:09,040
For example, one of the recent items we've

1217
01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:10,920
thought about discussing is whether or not there

1218
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:16,940
be a way for Council to perhaps suspend elected officials if they had been under felony

1219
01:51:17,660 --> 01:51:21,440
indictment, and during the prosecution, while that was occurring before conviction,

1220
01:51:21,740 --> 01:51:26,220
could that there be a provision to suspend that individual? That's another amendment

1221
01:51:26,220 --> 01:51:32,600
we're possibly looking at. We are also looking for continuous, continuously working with

1222
01:51:32,600 --> 01:51:36,500
the city staff, for their input of what they think needs to be revised. There's some

1223
01:51:36,500 --> 01:51:41,240
detail I believe in our work plan of already suggestions that we've gotten so those are things

1224
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:46,700
we want to look towards. We want to increase our public outreach and education part of that is

1225
01:51:46,700 --> 01:51:51,340
just coming right here tonight for any public that we see here we want more people to know

1226
01:51:51,340 --> 01:51:56,700
about what the charter is what it does and so they can give us their input on what might be possible

1227
01:51:56,700 --> 01:52:00,720
charter amendments both when we're looking at a charter amendment that we think is important

1228
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:04,680
or the council thinks is important when we're evaluating it which is what we did with district

1229
01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:07,640
and we went more input from the public.

1230
01:52:08,060 --> 01:52:09,240
We went from to know more about us.

1231
01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:10,760
We don't get a lot of people at our meetings.

1232
01:52:11,320 --> 01:52:12,880
So it would be nice to have some public input.

1233
01:52:13,020 --> 01:52:14,540
So we're doing that both with city staff

1234
01:52:14,540 --> 01:52:15,420
that's been very helpful.

1235
01:52:15,820 --> 01:52:16,840
We're working with communications.

1236
01:52:17,220 --> 01:52:18,880
We may hold meetings other places.

1237
01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:21,880
We're going to hear from the public what they want to do.

1238
01:52:24,550 --> 01:52:25,890
And so listening new amendments

1239
01:52:25,890 --> 01:52:27,470
and then the city council direction.

1240
01:52:27,770 --> 01:52:29,570
And that's not the last thing, but it's the last thing

1241
01:52:29,570 --> 01:52:33,770
I'm going to say about it is that we want to have direction

1242
01:52:33,770 --> 01:52:35,090
from you on our past amendments.

1243
01:52:35,090 --> 01:52:36,850
But we haven't actually brought forward.

1244
01:52:37,470 --> 01:52:40,950
We didn't get the opportunity on the city at 31 because of time factors.

1245
01:52:41,350 --> 01:52:44,790
So at some point, bring them forward, get your input on how you'd like to have them.

1246
01:52:44,990 --> 01:52:47,290
What other things you wanted to do, we responded to those.

1247
01:52:47,710 --> 01:52:51,690
And then any potential future amendments, issues, priorities,

1248
01:52:51,930 --> 01:52:54,310
by lines, that type of thing is what we'd like to have.

1249
01:52:54,770 --> 01:52:56,670
So essentially, I just wanted to give you this update.

1250
01:52:56,670 --> 01:52:58,970
Our next meeting is actually on May 10th.

1251
01:52:59,030 --> 01:53:00,570
We generally will meet every month.

1252
01:53:00,590 --> 01:53:03,310
I think it's the second Wednesday if we have something to work on.

1253
01:53:03,810 --> 01:53:07,150
We're deciding ourselves what we want to work on and we really thought was important to get

1254
01:53:07,150 --> 01:53:09,790
Council input so that we know what we're all on the same page.

1255
01:53:10,150 --> 01:53:13,550
So it's some future time we do hope that we can get the input and we very much thank you

1256
01:53:13,550 --> 01:53:14,470
for your time.

1257
01:53:14,630 --> 01:53:15,790
I don't know if there's anything else.

1258
01:53:16,010 --> 01:53:19,250
Thank you very much and I do have a suggestion.

1259
01:53:20,170 --> 01:53:28,230
You have two goals here to increase public outreach and education and also to solicit the City Council

1260
01:53:28,230 --> 01:53:34,730
direction and I thought that because of the technicality of the work that you do, that it

1261
01:53:34,730 --> 01:53:41,130
might be a good idea for us to have a joint workshop with the Charter Review Commission

1262
01:53:41,130 --> 01:53:47,230
and the City Council so that we can really delve into this together and then that usually

1263
01:53:47,230 --> 01:53:50,990
is a really good opportunity for the public to weigh in as well.

1264
01:53:51,430 --> 01:53:57,310
I think that I really like to see the workshop because we don't do you just this when you

1265
01:53:57,310 --> 01:54:03,530
come up before us and we can dedicate a workshop, we can dedicate a good two hours to the discussion.

1266
01:54:04,150 --> 01:54:09,430
And then just be more thoughtful about the direction that we give you.

1267
01:54:10,510 --> 01:54:15,490
So that's the recommendation that I have.

1268
01:54:15,950 --> 01:54:16,610
Ms. Aguilar.

1269
01:54:19,290 --> 01:54:25,650
Thank you, Madam Mayor. First of all, I want to thank you for the presentation and thank you for the work that you do.

1270
01:54:25,650 --> 01:54:39,710
It's so well-paid, you know, for the city, it's inspiring really, because I know Charter Review is very technical and requires a lot of studies, so thank you for that.

1271
01:54:39,870 --> 01:54:45,090
You wanted input, I'd love the mayor's idea of doing a joint workshop.

1272
01:54:45,090 --> 01:54:52,630
I think that would be very productive, but based on your proposed work plan and looking through

1273
01:54:52,630 --> 01:54:58,670
what I just want to tell you what I think are sort of, if I were in your shoes, the thing,

1274
01:54:58,850 --> 01:55:06,710
the first thing that I would tackle are under the draft amendments prepared, but not enacted

1275
01:55:06,710 --> 01:55:08,070
on the shelf.

1276
01:55:08,070 --> 01:55:19,090
To me the two most important items are the ones that deal with council member eligibility in terms and city council vacancies.

1277
01:55:19,170 --> 01:55:23,250
I'm a big fan of voting by mail.

1278
01:55:23,950 --> 01:55:30,450
It's much cheaper, more efficient and from everything I've read actually increases turnout as well.

1279
01:55:31,050 --> 01:55:35,130
So that would be my input, but I love the idea of having a joint workshop.

1280
01:55:35,430 --> 01:55:36,390
Thank you.

1281
01:55:36,390 --> 01:55:41,810
Thank you very much. And you know, thank you for your report. You are very, very important

1282
01:55:41,810 --> 01:55:47,450
commission to the City of Cholovice. Certainly, I think that your work is really, really difficult,

1283
01:55:47,770 --> 01:55:52,910
and it really takes a special kind of person to be interested in the charter review commission.

1284
01:55:54,630 --> 01:56:00,110
And I know that you're all thoughtful people, and you spend so much time on it.

1285
01:56:00,330 --> 01:56:04,470
So I just want to thank you for your service. It's really awesome that you step up

1286
01:56:04,470 --> 01:56:08,190
to the plate and work on this very technical and difficult commission.

1287
01:56:08,810 --> 01:56:10,670
Mr. Diaz?

1288
01:56:11,310 --> 01:56:12,530
Yeah, I agree with you, Mayor.

1289
01:56:12,650 --> 01:56:13,870
I think we should have a workshop.

1290
01:56:14,090 --> 01:56:16,270
I'd like to see if we can do that.

1291
01:56:16,690 --> 01:56:22,450
Okay, so there's a consensus that we have a future,

1292
01:56:22,890 --> 01:56:25,130
I don't work shop at some future date.

1293
01:56:25,470 --> 01:56:27,490
So do we have to, we don't have to vote on it, do we?

1294
01:56:27,690 --> 01:56:31,890
No matter where I think the consensus works for us,

1295
01:56:31,890 --> 01:56:39,090
Joe, we'll get back with the commission project, they're really next meeting to start talking about how to develop

1296
01:56:39,090 --> 01:56:47,190
the workshop agendas so that it's a really productive engagement and you can all dive in together to the work plan

1297
01:56:47,190 --> 01:56:54,250
and looking forward to that. I want to echo your comments about the importance of the Tribal Review Commission

1298
01:56:54,250 --> 01:56:58,290
and the really terrific and very thoughtful work

1299
01:56:58,290 --> 01:57:00,670
that this particular group has put in,

1300
01:57:00,770 --> 01:57:02,510
they've accomplished a lot,

1301
01:57:02,810 --> 01:57:05,510
and they've been unflinching in their willingness

1302
01:57:05,510 --> 01:57:10,410
to take on issues, both wonky technical issues

1303
01:57:10,410 --> 01:57:13,690
and potentially political, provocative issues.

1304
01:57:13,810 --> 01:57:16,530
That's the kind of group you need doing that work.

1305
01:57:16,830 --> 01:57:18,930
And so I appreciate your interest in support for them.

1306
01:57:19,010 --> 01:57:19,670
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

1307
01:57:19,750 --> 01:57:20,510
Thank you very much.

1308
01:57:20,510 --> 01:57:27,950
And I'm also doing the staff that a German has been our advisor and has been very responsive

1309
01:57:27,950 --> 01:57:30,770
and done a lot of work and as well as Mr. Gorgons and everyone.

1310
01:57:31,130 --> 01:57:35,250
So I have to really get thankful to run for a fitting out the wonkyness of everything that we're looking at.

1311
01:57:35,330 --> 01:57:36,410
Okay, thank you very much.

1312
01:57:36,570 --> 01:57:37,410
And thank you, Jill.

1313
01:57:38,950 --> 01:57:40,150
Thank you so much for your work.

1314
01:57:40,470 --> 01:57:40,830
Good work.

1315
01:57:40,930 --> 01:57:41,050
Good work.

1316
01:57:43,510 --> 01:57:45,230
It's a dark screen, thank you.

1317
01:57:46,390 --> 01:57:47,730
Okay, let's see.

1318
01:57:48,890 --> 01:58:04,080
Okay, the next item is item number seven and that's consideration of nominations of applicants to be interviewed by the Cultural Arts Commission.

1319
01:58:04,920 --> 01:58:12,300
If I may, I was going to suggest that maybe we would go on to item 9 and then I would say that I'd be so open and I think that you're right.

1320
01:58:12,520 --> 01:58:17,160
I think that, yeah, because people have been here for a long time, so you're absolutely right.

1321
01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:18,720
We can consider this afterwards.

1322
01:58:19,980 --> 01:58:22,580
Before we go on to item 9,

1323
01:58:24,630 --> 01:58:35,190
I just wanted to make some comments that this is the result of a meeting that recommendation of a meeting that we had.

1324
01:58:35,190 --> 01:58:49,790
I believe it's now three weeks ago where the city, there was a five-over vote by the city council to direct staff to come back with a resolution considering the seven points that we discussed.

1325
01:58:50,670 --> 01:58:59,310
I have a number of speakers to speak on this item. There are actually 30 people that want to speak under item number nine.

1326
01:58:59,310 --> 01:59:06,650
Many of you spoke during that first meeting, and many of you were very, very eloquent.

1327
01:59:07,670 --> 01:59:14,950
I have these 30 people that want to speak on item number 9, and then we have item number 10,

1328
01:59:15,230 --> 01:59:21,870
which we have another 15 people, and many of the people that are speaking under item number 9,

1329
01:59:21,870 --> 01:59:25,410
also requesting to speak under item number 10.

1330
01:59:25,410 --> 01:59:33,770
So with that in mind, what I would respectfully ask the speakers to do is to, you know, try to limit your comments.

1331
01:59:34,250 --> 01:59:46,330
You are entitled for two five minutes, but because we have so many people and because we have really delved into this issue three weeks ago,

1332
01:59:46,730 --> 01:59:52,670
to please try to keep your comments under three minutes and try to be as distinct as you can be.

1333
01:59:52,670 --> 01:59:57,230
and try not to be repetitious of others, okay?

1334
01:59:59,130 --> 01:59:59,790
Mr. City Attorney?

1335
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:09,640
Yes, Madam Mayor, brief presentation on the resolution in front of you which might benefit the speakers since a lot of them might not have seen the resolution.

1336
02:00:10,040 --> 02:00:18,660
So what I was intending to do is to present the resolution and then as part of staff's referral, you also wanted a presentation from staff.

1337
02:00:18,660 --> 02:00:32,540
I am number five, the implementation of a program to communicate city policies and connect the immigrant populations with immigrant services and city services and so.

1338
02:00:32,540 --> 02:00:33,900
The staff members,

1339
02:00:34,900 --> 02:00:39,700
Einstein Berger and chief Kennedy are here to provide that presentation to you.

1340
02:00:39,700 --> 02:01:00,940
But first, Madam Mayor, as you indicated, this resolution was intended to implement year 7 point proposal which was approved by the Council for a referral to bring back at this meeting following extensive presentation and discussion of the federal state and local enforcement laws and immigration policies and practices.

1341
02:01:01,880 --> 02:01:08,600
And we believe working with the City of Manager and the Chief of Police, we've done a good job of translating your wishes.

1342
02:01:09,280 --> 02:01:11,380
And I'm going to go through that resolution now.

1343
02:01:11,600 --> 02:01:17,820
The first four items, Mayor and Council, I really restatement of existing city council.

1344
02:01:18,500 --> 02:01:25,360
I'm sorry, city policies and making them more official policies that have been in effect affirmed and declared by the City Council.

1345
02:01:25,360 --> 02:01:32,360
The first item is consistent with the principles outlined in the Tourista Police Department.

1346
02:01:34,380 --> 02:01:41,160
I see a type over there now that I'll call it the Mission Statement and Policy 428 of the Tourista Police Department,

1347
02:01:41,180 --> 02:01:42,000
Policy Manual.

1348
02:01:42,200 --> 02:01:46,700
It is now the official policy of the City of Tourista that all residents of the city regard us

1349
02:01:46,700 --> 02:01:51,380
of their immigration status shall be entitled to equal enforcement of the law and equal service

1350
02:01:51,380 --> 02:01:54,820
And that all shall be treated with fairness, respect, and dignity.

1351
02:01:55,620 --> 02:02:03,500
I am number two, it is the official policy of the city that CDPD contacts and arrests shall not be based on race,

1352
02:02:03,740 --> 02:02:09,280
ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, social economic, or immigration status.

1353
02:02:09,840 --> 02:02:15,360
Number three, it is the official policy of the city that the CDPD shall not enforce immigration laws.

1354
02:02:15,980 --> 02:02:19,900
Number four, it is the official policy of the city that is the responsibility of the federal government,

1355
02:02:19,900 --> 02:02:24,840
to enforce immigration laws, and again, these are all just restatement of the existing reality

1356
02:02:24,840 --> 02:02:29,840
of what the rules and responsibilities are of those respective law enforcement agencies.

1357
02:02:30,340 --> 02:02:34,960
Then I am five city staff as authorized and directed to develop and implement a program

1358
02:02:34,960 --> 02:02:39,340
to better communicate the official city policies set forth above to the public.

1359
02:02:39,900 --> 02:02:45,380
And to better connect city residents in need with available immigration services and city services,

1360
02:02:45,380 --> 02:03:12,260
I am number six, city staff is authorized and directed to join the welcoming America Network to demonstrate that the city values its immigrant and refugee residents and to help them to become a vital part of our economic and civic society and then I am seven city staff is authorized and directed to track and report back to the city council and federal and state legislation that impacts city interests and policies on immigration enforcement particularly

1361
02:03:12,260 --> 02:03:18,780
local control of policing policies, protection of constitutional rights, and availability

1362
02:03:18,780 --> 02:03:23,940
of funding, with an opportunity for the city council to actively support or oppose

1363
02:03:23,940 --> 02:03:24,700
same.

1364
02:03:24,780 --> 02:03:29,540
And I have an update after the presentation, Mayor, on one of the aspects of that that

1365
02:03:29,540 --> 02:03:30,360
we're involved with.

1366
02:03:30,680 --> 02:03:38,260
So that's what you're being asked to act on tonight, Madam Mayor, and might be appropriate

1367
02:03:38,260 --> 02:03:44,960
it now to invite Ms. Steinberger and Kennedy to the podium to present on status of the program

1368
02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:45,920
for our week.

1369
02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:47,240
Good evening, Dan Council.

1370
02:03:47,360 --> 02:03:53,100
Yes, we're here to give you a little update on what is item five here that we've been authorizing

1371
02:03:53,100 --> 02:03:55,320
directed to develop a communications program.

1372
02:03:56,180 --> 02:04:00,440
So since the meeting a few weeks ago, we've been collaborating on a number of efforts to develop

1373
02:04:00,440 --> 02:04:05,560
this program and really start after tonight's action to put it in place.

1374
02:04:05,560 --> 02:04:09,500
She, Kennedy, and her team have been very involved for years

1375
02:04:09,500 --> 02:04:13,800
in internal external communication about these issues,

1376
02:04:13,860 --> 02:04:16,380
but from a communication standpoint to the public.

1377
02:04:16,520 --> 02:04:20,340
We will build on these efforts to ensure that we are providing information

1378
02:04:20,340 --> 02:04:23,700
to our residents and the immigrant community in the manner

1379
02:04:23,700 --> 02:04:25,780
and media that best meets their needs.

1380
02:04:26,560 --> 02:04:29,640
For example, some residents and groups may prefer a community meeting

1381
02:04:29,640 --> 02:04:32,100
where they can hear from the speaker and ask questions.

1382
02:04:32,100 --> 02:04:38,020
others making it to view a web page and web information, and others may want to fly our brochures.

1383
02:04:38,180 --> 02:04:44,660
So we'll take a look at all of those media and put those together for this outreach and communications effort.

1384
02:04:46,280 --> 02:05:02,080
And we do believe it's important that residents in the community have a variety of options for accessing the information that we will

1385
02:05:02,080 --> 02:05:15,900
With the groups that they've been meeting with to develop the communications program, entertain ideas, and input so that we can make sure that we are providing the information that the community needs from the city.

1386
02:05:16,520 --> 02:05:30,580
As is referenced in the resolution, Police Department Policy 428 already has a lot of the language that again from the communication standpoint, we will address and provide to the in a public way in communications and outreach.

1387
02:05:30,580 --> 02:05:34,640
And we are happy to take recommendations from the Council this evening.

1388
02:05:34,880 --> 02:05:35,620
I'm going forward.

1389
02:05:36,360 --> 02:05:40,040
We, of course, heard what the speakers presented a couple of weeks ago.

1390
02:05:40,500 --> 02:05:42,520
And we'll listen to the suggestions tonight.

1391
02:05:42,820 --> 02:05:47,880
Continue to reach out to nonprofits, social services, community groups.

1392
02:05:47,940 --> 02:05:52,240
Many of the people who are here to then take input and feedback on what this

1393
02:05:52,240 --> 02:05:53,940
Communications program should include.

1394
02:05:54,120 --> 02:05:57,360
What it should look like and what it should provide to the immigrant community.

1395
02:05:57,360 --> 02:06:02,020
And now we'll turn it over to Chief Kennedy for additional feedback.

1396
02:06:02,760 --> 02:06:02,900
Thank you.

1397
02:06:03,560 --> 02:06:04,280
Good evening.

1398
02:06:05,240 --> 02:06:09,420
I'm very pleased to be able to come back with some information in regards to what we've been

1399
02:06:09,420 --> 02:06:10,740
able to do at the police department.

1400
02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:16,180
So I want to highlight some of the outreach efforts and share that we've been sharing our message

1401
02:06:16,180 --> 02:06:20,040
and our concern has been that we want to get out in ease community concern.

1402
02:06:20,800 --> 02:06:25,080
So I'm very pleased with some of the effort that we put into place.

1403
02:06:25,080 --> 02:06:28,960
So first I wanted to say that our immigration policy has been shared across our entire

1404
02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:34,780
department and it's posted on our police department web page as our our of our policies.

1405
02:06:35,020 --> 02:06:39,220
So anyone from the community at any time can go to go to the police department web page

1406
02:06:39,220 --> 02:06:40,960
and see what our policy state.

1407
02:06:41,920 --> 02:06:46,560
I personally met with every division within our department and shared our immigration policy,

1408
02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:51,900
the philosophy and discuss how our personnel should be involved in efforts to share our

1409
02:06:51,900 --> 02:06:53,900
message into East community concerns.

1410
02:06:53,900 --> 02:06:59,780
On March 8th of this year, during our actual whistle-placement leadership team meeting, which includes

1411
02:06:59,780 --> 02:07:05,040
are of our smart and professional supervisors and managers within our department, everyone attended

1412
02:07:05,040 --> 02:07:08,600
it and again, we had an opportunity to share our philosophy on immigration.

1413
02:07:09,840 --> 02:07:15,900
I've also provided Anne with a prepared statement for me regarding an immigration policy that

1414
02:07:15,900 --> 02:07:22,540
will be placed on the city of Trilvista webpage in regards to immigration resources and it will

1415
02:07:22,540 --> 02:07:27,640
be provided in English and English Spanish. Tomorrow I will share this message again with my

1416
02:07:27,640 --> 02:07:33,000
department by sending out an email to everyone. We constantly keep reinforcing the message

1417
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:38,480
and that we need to go out into the community and ensure what it is that we stand for.

1418
02:07:39,080 --> 02:07:45,820
My command staff and I, so February, have been involved in more than 25 community meetings providing

1419
02:07:45,820 --> 02:07:51,060
outreach regarding our immigration policy and addressing community concerns. These have been

1420
02:07:51,060 --> 02:07:57,080
and civic organizations to some of our schools, churches, business groups, our community advisory

1421
02:07:57,080 --> 02:08:02,100
committee that the Police Department has as well as the ACLU.

1422
02:08:03,100 --> 02:08:07,400
I'd also like to talk about some of the future efforts as we stated the last time we met

1423
02:08:07,400 --> 02:08:13,180
was April 4th, so we've been pretty busy in this last few weeks, but we're planning to work

1424
02:08:13,180 --> 02:08:18,620
very closely with South Bay community services to reach out to many of the concerned community

1425
02:08:18,620 --> 02:08:25,020
members. I'm pleased to announce that our first community firm will be tomorrow night, South

1426
02:08:25,020 --> 02:08:30,100
Big Community Services, putting this on at Latterback Elementary School at 6 p.m. also

1427
02:08:30,100 --> 02:08:34,680
in the collaboration with the ACLU, and we'll be a part of that. It'll be reaching out

1428
02:08:34,680 --> 02:08:40,620
to many of the people in the promised neighborhood residents in our community. Our SOO program,

1429
02:08:41,180 --> 02:08:46,420
a very successful program, is working also on strategies on the best way to reach out to

1430
02:08:46,420 --> 02:08:51,420
of our schools. And they've been working diligently to come up with what is the best way to reach

1431
02:08:51,420 --> 02:08:58,720
out to the community because oftentimes when we try to explain and share a message, we might

1432
02:08:58,720 --> 02:09:03,320
be reaching out to them in a manner or method that's not comfortable to them. So we're really

1433
02:09:03,320 --> 02:09:07,940
looking at what is the best way to share our message and reach as many people as possible.

1434
02:09:09,100 --> 02:09:13,960
In an effort to seek community input, I'm working with our community advisory committee that

1435
02:09:13,960 --> 02:09:19,380
Police Department has. One of the members is a very active in our community, is a

1436
02:09:19,380 --> 02:09:24,540
room at Kassaris, and we're almost a longstanding member of our community advisory

1437
02:09:24,540 --> 02:09:29,160
community. And I've asked for it to work with me to help formulate a plan where we can

1438
02:09:29,160 --> 02:09:34,780
provide the right community outreach. And so I think it speaks volumes to have people

1439
02:09:34,780 --> 02:09:38,780
from our community talk about what we do with the Police Department, as well as just having

1440
02:09:38,780 --> 02:09:41,700
our police officers go out there and reach out to the community.

1441
02:09:42,340 --> 02:09:49,520
I've also asked the community advisory committee to also review our policy for 28 and provide

1442
02:09:49,520 --> 02:09:55,360
their feedback in their recommendations and as we move forward, they will help us be involved

1443
02:09:55,360 --> 02:09:57,640
in a revision of that policy down the road.

1444
02:09:58,000 --> 02:10:00,940
I think it's really important to have their input in that process.

1445
02:10:01,980 --> 02:10:06,940
We're also discussing options on the best way to host and be involved in community firms

1446
02:10:06,940 --> 02:10:11,860
and utilizing our community advisory committee to be a part of that process as well.

1447
02:10:12,960 --> 02:10:18,240
And I just like to really remind everyone that the cheerless of these departments focus,

1448
02:10:18,580 --> 02:10:22,680
as I stated many times before, is to focus on public safety and not immigration.

1449
02:10:23,520 --> 02:10:26,320
And I think we're in the right steps moving forward.

1450
02:10:26,380 --> 02:10:29,300
And I'm very pleased with the effort that I've been putting place.

1451
02:10:29,400 --> 02:10:34,060
And I really want to hear feedback from the community tonight as well as the Council

1452
02:10:34,060 --> 02:10:36,860
in regards to your recommendations and suggestions.

1453
02:10:37,820 --> 02:10:41,240
We want to have a marketing campaign, but we want to have the right marketing campaign.

1454
02:10:41,480 --> 02:10:43,420
So your input will be very important to us.

1455
02:10:43,720 --> 02:10:44,180
Thank you.

1456
02:10:44,600 --> 02:10:45,260
Thank you.

1457
02:10:45,320 --> 02:10:45,900
Thank you very much.

1458
02:10:46,640 --> 02:10:47,340
I have one more thing.

1459
02:10:47,880 --> 02:10:53,380
We are prepared to launch a new web page that will include much of the information that

1460
02:10:53,380 --> 02:10:58,260
sorry on the police department web page and other links that we have already, so that we can

1461
02:10:58,260 --> 02:11:03,640
by May 1st, so we have this first step in getting information out there, and then form

1462
02:11:03,640 --> 02:11:08,760
and resources where people can start connecting to the resources we want to provide. So I want to

1463
02:11:08,760 --> 02:11:15,700
let you know that as well. Okay, thank you very much. Good report. So before we move on to the

1464
02:11:15,700 --> 02:11:23,660
public speakers, do any of the council members have any questions or comments? With that, we'll

1465
02:11:23,660 --> 02:11:32,580
Thank you, Mayor. Thank you for letting me come in. I would just say I know you had talked of and you had talked very talk about the

1466
02:11:35,340 --> 02:11:42,700
Non-profit organizations and things. I think that's a great way to go. What I would also do is I would

1467
02:11:42,700 --> 02:11:46,080
When we have brochures and go through those forms

1468
02:11:46,660 --> 02:11:52,220
Many of these people that come to our country are interested in becoming legal

1469
02:11:53,520 --> 02:11:59,860
citizens and be documented, and I would want to make sure that they have an avenue that

1470
02:11:59,860 --> 02:12:06,360
they would be able to understand and get help on how they could become legal aliens,

1471
02:12:06,540 --> 02:12:12,860
or they could become an actualized citizens, to the part of this moment that I've had,

1472
02:12:13,260 --> 02:12:17,960
is when I've helped people become US citizens, and it's a great thing, and we want to make

1473
02:12:17,960 --> 02:12:20,780
sure that we don't want people in the shadows anymore.

1474
02:12:20,780 --> 02:12:24,740
or we want to allow them to give documented and become legal.

1475
02:12:25,040 --> 02:12:25,780
Thank you.

1476
02:12:26,920 --> 02:12:29,140
Thank you very much, Ms. Sacketlar.

1477
02:12:30,880 --> 02:12:31,700
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

1478
02:12:31,780 --> 02:12:33,960
Just very quickly, because I'm interested in the speakers.

1479
02:12:35,300 --> 02:12:37,740
But I just want to provide a little bit of feedback.

1480
02:12:37,840 --> 02:12:41,480
In addition to the groups that you name South Bay Community Services,

1481
02:12:42,360 --> 02:12:47,780
ACLU schools, I wanted to recommend that you consult with ACE.

1482
02:12:49,100 --> 02:12:54,200
people behind you with yellow shirts for it was in the ACE, they have very good contacts

1483
02:12:54,200 --> 02:13:00,520
in the immigrant community and I think they could be very helpful in terms of designing

1484
02:13:00,520 --> 02:13:07,080
and outreach program, so I wanted to suggest that you consult with them as well and also I wanted

1485
02:13:07,080 --> 02:13:17,480
to say that for me it's more important that the emphasis be on sort of proactive outreach.

1486
02:13:17,480 --> 02:13:21,900
I mean, putting stuff on the website is great, but that's kind of passive.

1487
02:13:22,240 --> 02:13:24,500
You have to go to the website to get it.

1488
02:13:24,600 --> 02:13:26,960
You have to know that it's there before you even go.

1489
02:13:27,820 --> 02:13:34,080
So I think that sort of the other kinds of things that you were talking about proactive

1490
02:13:34,080 --> 02:13:39,720
outreach through community forums, community meetings, schools.

1491
02:13:39,900 --> 02:13:45,400
I also think it'd be great to have small cards that you could pass out, you know, that

1492
02:13:45,400 --> 02:13:49,460
to summarize the policy and Spanish and English so that when you're at the schools,

1493
02:13:49,580 --> 02:13:51,880
kids have stuff to take home to their parents.

1494
02:13:52,120 --> 02:13:55,320
So I just wanted to make those comments, but I think you're headed in the right direction.

1495
02:13:55,600 --> 02:13:55,800
Thank you.

1496
02:13:55,860 --> 02:13:56,220
Thank you.

1497
02:13:56,280 --> 02:13:56,860
I appreciate that.

1498
02:13:56,920 --> 02:13:59,220
I did want to mention that I had an opportunity to meet this.

1499
02:13:59,360 --> 02:14:03,460
Some of the representatives and we have a, we're scheduling the meeting.

1500
02:14:03,620 --> 02:14:06,320
We're working in that tomorrow, which is going to be great for us.

1501
02:14:06,700 --> 02:14:08,280
And also a Thai language high school.

1502
02:14:08,380 --> 02:14:11,100
We had an opportunity to speak with them in the mail as well.

1503
02:14:11,640 --> 02:14:13,160
So there's been a number of different groups.

1504
02:14:13,160 --> 02:14:15,800
but we're seeking their interests as well,

1505
02:14:15,980 --> 02:14:19,440
so I encourage people to come to us just to call my office

1506
02:14:19,440 --> 02:14:20,600
and we're trying to get in.

1507
02:14:20,600 --> 02:14:23,520
Even if it's 10, 15 minutes, we're trying to meet with anyone

1508
02:14:23,520 --> 02:14:26,360
who's interested in partnering with us.

1509
02:14:26,700 --> 02:14:27,080
Thank you.

1510
02:14:27,520 --> 02:14:28,820
Thank you very much.

1511
02:14:29,060 --> 02:14:31,340
With that, we'll move on to our public speakers.

1512
02:14:31,540 --> 02:14:34,340
And once again, we have three speakers on the item.

1513
02:14:35,600 --> 02:14:38,660
And you all were so terrific three weeks ago

1514
02:14:38,660 --> 02:14:46,440
respecting every speaker and not making comments and allowing them the opportunity to

1515
02:14:46,440 --> 02:14:54,260
state their views whatever they were and I'm also going to ask you not to clap, not to make

1516
02:14:54,260 --> 02:14:59,960
those kinds of demonstrations of

1517
02:15:00,700 --> 02:15:22,460
That's not respectful to, to, you know, everybody that's wanting to speak. And so you guys were terrific the last time. So let's see if we can keep that, that a and good conduct, okay. So our first speaker and please try to limit yourself to three minutes. You do have five minutes, but try to limit it to three. Markling.

1518
02:15:24,720 --> 02:15:24,980
Markling?

1519
02:15:24,980 --> 02:15:32,180
I was number one to speak on nine. I gave it to the city clerk. I don't know why I can't.

1520
02:15:33,020 --> 02:15:39,160
Okay, yes. Mr. Solomon. Thank you. Are you calling me? Yes. Okay, thank you.

1521
02:15:39,620 --> 02:15:44,040
I don't want to get you upset. I'm not upset. I'm just getting tired of sitting around.

1522
02:15:46,040 --> 02:15:47,160
We all are.

1523
02:15:49,980 --> 02:15:51,640
Thank you.

1524
02:15:51,640 --> 02:15:59,160
We were on back, I sent an email to all of your council members, and I got an answer back from Mr. Mike Diaz.

1525
02:15:59,360 --> 02:16:04,760
I didn't request an answer that he sent one, and I thank you for responding, even though it wasn't a requirement too.

1526
02:16:05,500 --> 02:16:07,460
And I'd like to quick read this.

1527
02:16:08,720 --> 02:16:11,320
Reference to the City Council, leaving empty scratch.

1528
02:16:12,060 --> 02:16:15,120
The mayor said she doesn't like the term sanctuary city.

1529
02:16:15,260 --> 02:16:16,980
I don't believe her. I don't like it either.

1530
02:16:16,980 --> 02:16:23,140
One of the interpretations of the world's sanctuary is immunity from punishment or the law.

1531
02:16:23,840 --> 02:16:28,440
I believe the council is going to vote on whether to make sure the list of city a welcoming city.

1532
02:16:28,960 --> 02:16:33,380
As far as I can find out, no one knows why the sanctuary or a welcoming city is,

1533
02:16:33,560 --> 02:16:36,920
even the attorney general of the United States that he did not know.

1534
02:16:37,720 --> 02:16:43,900
My concern is that you don't seem to know and understand the difference between an immigrant and an illegal alien.

1535
02:16:43,900 --> 02:16:49,600
The Indian Green is a person in the United States leading legally with proper documents.

1536
02:16:50,380 --> 02:16:57,700
A person who runs the United States illegally without any offending or fraudulent documents is an illegal alien.

1537
02:16:58,320 --> 02:17:06,940
The United States Federal War so states is also a violation of the United States Federal War to aid in the bit or harbor an illegal alien.

1538
02:17:06,940 --> 02:17:13,860
It is also in violation of United States Federal Law to not only employ an illegal alien.

1539
02:17:15,340 --> 02:17:20,380
The Federal Law, so states which I have copies of here, anybody like to read.

1540
02:17:21,000 --> 02:17:26,540
If the city wants to welcome legal immigrants and refugees, I think that's great.

1541
02:17:26,920 --> 02:17:30,060
We need to help the people that are in that situation.

1542
02:17:31,080 --> 02:17:37,120
However, if the Council's interpretation of wealthy and includes illegal aliens, it would

1543
02:17:37,120 --> 02:17:39,080
be the biggest mistake of your lives.

1544
02:17:39,720 --> 02:17:42,740
The problems associated with that decision would be money-in-minute.

1545
02:17:43,340 --> 02:17:46,220
It would take three more pages of text to list the problems.

1546
02:17:47,300 --> 02:17:53,800
If the city becomes a wealthy and city for illegal aliens, you will have problems you will

1547
02:17:53,800 --> 02:17:54,260
believe.

1548
02:17:54,940 --> 02:17:58,260
One last word, make sure you understand the word in legal.

1549
02:17:58,580 --> 02:18:03,460
Before you vote, be careful what you vote for, you just might get it.

1550
02:18:03,520 --> 02:18:09,280
And along those lines, I had two questions I'd like to ask you, now a man you might have

1551
02:18:09,280 --> 02:18:14,000
to defer to Mr. Guggen who I've had a lot of meetings with over the years.

1552
02:18:21,220 --> 02:18:28,780
We have a policy of services to the sees in the group community when you speak of the immigrant community.

1553
02:18:29,140 --> 02:18:34,560
Are you speaking of legal immigrants or illegal aliens or both?

1554
02:18:35,060 --> 02:18:40,540
We have a policy in the city of Chilivist and not to ask immigration status when we...

1555
02:18:40,540 --> 02:18:41,980
You're not answering the question.

1556
02:18:43,360 --> 02:18:44,220
What was the question?

1557
02:18:45,420 --> 02:18:51,620
When you say immigrant, are you including illegal aliens as immigrants?

1558
02:18:53,140 --> 02:18:53,480
Yes.

1559
02:18:54,300 --> 02:18:56,760
They are not immigrants, under the eyes of Fragur Law.

1560
02:18:56,800 --> 02:18:58,420
I'm not going to argue with you, sir.

1561
02:18:58,740 --> 02:18:59,760
Women your own.

1562
02:19:00,560 --> 02:19:02,000
You're in violation of a law.

1563
02:19:04,480 --> 02:19:06,160
They, in the time is up.

1564
02:19:06,600 --> 02:19:08,100
No, I, I, I, I, I won't you do.

1565
02:19:08,120 --> 02:19:09,740
I've managed the people that spoke out.

1566
02:19:09,760 --> 02:19:09,940
Yeah.

1567
02:19:10,580 --> 02:19:11,100
Okay.

1568
02:19:11,920 --> 02:19:13,000
That's your job to do.

1569
02:19:13,140 --> 02:19:14,760
You're in charge of your supposed beefest possible.

1570
02:19:14,760 --> 02:19:20,700
I'm running the meeting. Please do it. Please do it. Please sit down. Mark Lane.

1571
02:19:21,400 --> 02:19:25,060
Lancet-grade question. Mark Lane.

1572
02:19:33,340 --> 02:19:34,860
Thank you, Mayor. Council members.

1573
02:19:37,320 --> 02:19:40,580
No, just don't, please. Just don't engage.

1574
02:19:41,200 --> 02:19:41,500
Just kidding.

1575
02:19:45,100 --> 02:19:50,640
Just briefly, my community of national city had the opportunity to do it. You guys have the opportunity to do it.

1576
02:19:51,440 --> 02:20:10,380
But they weren't able to do it, the three men that controlled the council there were afraid to be on a list, afraid to draw attention to themselves, worried that they weren't going to get federal funding, and as Mr. Mendeble said, it's purely symbolic.

1577
02:20:13,820 --> 02:20:18,060
Symbolism codified is worth a million dollars to the marginalized community.

1578
02:20:19,680 --> 02:20:21,940
As we found out today, the Ninth Circuit Court said,

1579
02:20:22,520 --> 02:20:24,980
they can't stop you from getting your money.

1580
02:20:26,080 --> 02:20:27,260
So, we're there.

1581
02:20:30,150 --> 02:20:31,650
And what I told them, I tell you,

1582
02:20:31,870 --> 02:20:34,470
as a community that's as diverse as Chula Vista,

1583
02:20:35,670 --> 02:20:39,590
with an immigrant population, legal, undocumented,

1584
02:20:40,710 --> 02:20:41,570
people of color,

1585
02:20:42,730 --> 02:20:48,090
Not only should you be on the list, you should be the top of the list, you should be the tip of the spear.

1586
02:20:51,430 --> 02:20:54,930
In my later years, I decided to study law, which I'm doing right now.

1587
02:20:55,210 --> 02:21:00,510
I'm more specifically an aggression law, and I'm working with an immigration lawyer right now.

1588
02:21:01,250 --> 02:21:06,190
We have several clients in no time detention right now, women, no criminal records.

1589
02:21:07,290 --> 02:21:13,410
that had some kind of interaction with the police department, here in San Diego County, and we turned over the eyes.

1590
02:21:14,690 --> 02:21:20,950
Last Monday we got two of them, luckily out of attention, they've been in for three months, separated from their small children.

1591
02:21:22,070 --> 02:21:29,430
These were two women, when was brought here when she was two, she's now 30, no criminal record works to US citizen daughters.

1592
02:21:30,110 --> 02:21:36,190
We're almost brought here when she's eight, I've no thought either one of them, no criminal record.

1593
02:21:37,890 --> 02:21:41,990
She's at 32, 3 US citizens, children,

1594
02:21:44,250 --> 02:21:46,750
just because of some interaction with a police department,

1595
02:21:47,970 --> 02:21:51,190
the women criminal, they ended up in ice custody.

1596
02:21:53,250 --> 02:21:58,030
So it means a lot to the community that's affected by this.

1597
02:21:58,030 --> 02:22:03,780
you guys vote yes make sure of us to walk in the city for everyone. Thank you. Thank you.

1598
02:22:05,030 --> 02:22:12,590
Hey, Mickey Casparian followed by Andrea Beth Damsky.

1599
02:22:16,010 --> 02:22:22,690
Good evening. Mickey Casparian and the president of the UFCW local then 35 in the same

1600
02:22:23,550 --> 02:22:30,650
the Labour Council. First, I'd like to really compliment you, Mayor Salis, for your leadership.

1601
02:22:31,710 --> 02:22:32,810
This is a bold move,

1602
02:22:34,850 --> 02:22:37,330
and this is the second biggest city in the county. Obviously,

1603
02:22:37,590 --> 02:22:41,230
he's had passed that in the county, but this is the second biggest city in the county.

1604
02:22:41,970 --> 02:22:46,750
And for Council members in addition to that, for the year in Agola, and for your leadership on

1605
02:22:46,750 --> 02:22:52,090
on SB554, and that was a big step for this city to take.

1606
02:22:54,010 --> 02:22:57,190
Hopefully, we have a unanimous vote today, 5-0.

1607
02:22:57,970 --> 02:23:02,290
Council members, McCann, and D.S. sometimes we don't know who's not politically, but this

1608
02:23:02,290 --> 02:23:06,370
is not about politics, it's about people, it's about people that live in your community.

1609
02:23:08,330 --> 02:23:18,310
And to be honest, using our criminals, using people who are hardworking, who live in this city,

1610
02:23:19,030 --> 02:23:22,230
who work in this city, and deserve to be respected.

1611
02:23:22,910 --> 02:23:27,410
And the Donald Trump is our president right now, and this craziness of integration.

1612
02:23:28,190 --> 02:23:29,750
God knows what's going to happen.

1613
02:23:30,290 --> 02:23:33,170
We're saying that we're not going to have an immigration reform at the national level.

1614
02:23:33,170 --> 02:23:40,110
So, as we forget that we were all immigrants, where the we were quite frankly our ancestors

1615
02:23:40,110 --> 02:23:50,050
as well, and we need to respect these people, they're not criminals, they're hardworking men

1616
02:23:50,050 --> 02:23:50,650
in women.

1617
02:23:51,430 --> 02:23:58,370
So, again, May Salas, I would just like to really just say thank you, thank you for your leadership,

1618
02:23:58,370 --> 02:24:04,170
your hard work, making sure to list your reckoning city and taking the leadership for a city

1619
02:24:04,170 --> 02:24:05,070
of this large number.

1620
02:24:05,070 --> 02:24:09,910
We're going to be an example, five of the cities in San Diego County, but we'll be

1621
02:24:09,910 --> 02:24:14,270
providing leadership for other cities in the state of California and in our nation.

1622
02:24:14,650 --> 02:24:16,490
So I urge all of you to support this.

1623
02:24:16,490 --> 02:24:17,130
Thank you very much.

1624
02:24:17,230 --> 02:24:21,570
Thank you so much Andrea, followed by Erin Rossi.

1625
02:24:23,920 --> 02:24:24,880
Thank you.

1626
02:24:25,120 --> 02:24:29,860
Thank you.

1627
02:24:30,740 --> 02:24:36,380
I've been a member of a resident of San Diego County for 20 years originally from New York,

1628
02:24:36,880 --> 02:24:43,880
which private self is being the melting pot of America, and that is the brain storage I do

1629
02:24:43,880 --> 02:24:50,140
the world and do this country as a place that should be welcoming to people from all places.

1630
02:24:51,160 --> 02:24:56,480
I am, I am a Jewish person. It was really moving for me tonight to hear the Holocaust,

1631
02:24:56,480 --> 02:25:04,800
commemoration, the recognition, moving also to hear about the 14th Amendment, and what

1632
02:25:04,800 --> 02:25:10,020
that means relevant to today's issues regarding immigrants and citizens, and who thought

1633
02:25:10,020 --> 02:25:17,440
a city council may be serving. I thank you for that. I am, as a Jewish person, as

1634
02:25:17,440 --> 02:25:27,540
I'm in this country, as a lesbian, as a little different from some people around me, not having the status of being a recent immigrant, I'm afraid in today's times.

1635
02:25:27,880 --> 02:25:38,240
I'm afraid for my life, I'm afraid for people who I identify with, I'm afraid for people who are like men, people who are different for men, people who are having fingers pointed out them today.

1636
02:25:38,240 --> 02:25:46,820
So, I'm gonna buy a little bit from Sophie Tradition and sing a very short song, and I leave with those words.

1637
02:25:58,930 --> 02:25:59,590
And

1638
02:26:13,000 --> 02:26:13,980
that was beautiful.

1639
02:26:15,820 --> 02:26:19,120
And Grassey followed by Kevin Hancock.

1640
02:26:19,540 --> 02:26:23,900
Okay, so Mr. Hancock, get ready to get up to that.

1641
02:26:24,420 --> 02:26:30,700
Could you be in council? My name is Aaron Sumer of Rossi and I am here on behalf of Alliance San Diego.

1642
02:26:31,800 --> 02:26:38,000
Alliance San Diego is a community empowerment organization that focuses on making certain that those in our region are able to achieve their full potential.

1643
02:26:39,120 --> 02:26:43,900
First of all, I wanted to really thank this council for your leadership and bringing forward a resolution.

1644
02:26:44,520 --> 02:26:50,020
And for your commitment to making certain that our residents in Chile to start a welcome.

1645
02:26:50,020 --> 02:26:53,340
And this is not the first occasion that we've come out to Council.

1646
02:26:55,020 --> 02:26:57,400
We've been working with City Council for a number of years.

1647
02:26:57,960 --> 02:27:06,880
And so we're grateful for the leadership that the City has taken in the policies that the city has put in place beforehand to make certain that people are welcome.

1648
02:27:08,680 --> 02:27:16,120
Now, I think more than ever, it's important for us to make sure that we're reaffirming our commitment to the immigrant community.

1649
02:27:17,780 --> 02:27:23,200
And I think it has been doing a number of new rights, infosessions into what it says

1650
02:27:23,200 --> 02:27:24,320
as well as other cities.

1651
02:27:24,540 --> 02:27:29,600
We've also done outreach to the American community heavy outreach since the end of December,

1652
02:27:31,560 --> 02:27:35,640
And what we've noticed is that people are afraid.

1653
02:27:36,140 --> 02:27:41,000
We're hearing more and more stories of people who are afraid to leave their houses, who

1654
02:27:41,000 --> 02:27:42,860
are afraid to take their children to school.

1655
02:27:42,860 --> 02:27:49,680
and were worried for their families, for themselves, for their neighbors, and everyone you can imagine.

1656
02:27:51,180 --> 02:27:56,580
Speaking from my own personal experience, I was part of a running club actually in Belmida for a long time,

1657
02:27:56,960 --> 02:28:02,760
and I have teammates who are afraid to actually come down here any more to run.

1658
02:28:03,940 --> 02:28:09,580
Their afraid to leave their houses to even go for a run, because they're frightened of what might happen to them.

1659
02:28:09,580 --> 02:28:13,940
they're afraid that they might be deported and separated from their families.

1660
02:28:14,580 --> 02:28:18,800
So what you do today is critically important to make sure that you're sending a strong message

1661
02:28:18,800 --> 02:28:19,620
to communities.

1662
02:28:20,620 --> 02:28:26,800
75 years ago, my grandparents were in turn during WWII, and this was able to happen because

1663
02:28:26,800 --> 02:28:31,420
people were willing to stand up and support those who were in the community.

1664
02:28:32,140 --> 02:28:37,640
Now, this city has a history of making certain that they are in supportive immigrants.

1665
02:28:38,580 --> 02:28:43,640
And then we'll say what you did today is critically important, because we don't want to make them mistakes.

1666
02:28:44,140 --> 02:28:45,880
The history has shown us.

1667
02:28:46,520 --> 02:28:49,960
So here to ask you to support the resolution, and again, thank you for your leadership.

1668
02:28:50,400 --> 02:28:54,520
Thank you very much, Kevin, followed by John Skofield.

1669
02:28:55,720 --> 02:28:58,820
So, John, get ready to come up.

1670
02:28:58,820 --> 02:29:10,200
Even mayor and council, my name is Cutton Hancock, I'm going to register the run hills and then resident for three years.

1671
02:29:10,200 --> 02:29:14,860
Four years of the county of San Diego.

1672
02:29:16,480 --> 02:29:22,120
I came here after spending time in the military,

1673
02:29:24,500 --> 02:29:33,020
And I've been managing low-income property for the last three years and also doing construction.

1674
02:29:34,700 --> 02:29:50,840
I can tell you the certainty that illegal integration marginalizes legal residents and legal people trying to get jobs.

1675
02:29:50,840 --> 02:29:58,180
I take exception to welcoming illegal immigrants to

1676
02:30:00,000 --> 02:30:18,180
Legal residents. And when a man robs or steels, robs a store, or steels a car, no one feels sorry when he's taken away and the law is imposed.

1677
02:30:19,340 --> 02:30:25,280
This city isn't an island separate from federal law as this council wants to superimpose.

1678
02:30:26,320 --> 02:30:29,560
When the police chief refers to immigrants,

1679
02:30:31,960 --> 02:30:34,000
she admits illegal immigrants.

1680
02:30:35,280 --> 02:30:44,460
I know with face certainty what welcome city means, welcome city, welcoming city means that everyone

1681
02:30:44,460 --> 02:30:51,440
from the mayor or police chief down to the dogcatcher receiving a government paycheck is

1682
02:30:51,440 --> 02:30:59,980
aiming and embedding rewarding illegal integration by omitting to federal crime, which is

1683
02:30:59,980 --> 02:31:07,220
which rewrote corporate welfare and social welfare, racketeering to depreciate legal

1684
02:31:07,220 --> 02:31:14,440
citizenships, which feeds off the hardworking legal residents who are in the true asset

1685
02:31:14,440 --> 02:31:16,340
column of our city and nation.

1686
02:31:18,280 --> 02:31:26,980
So do what is correct for the legal residents and uphold legal immigration, uphold legal

1687
02:31:26,980 --> 02:31:31,820
immigration for your grandchildren and for their grandchildren.

1688
02:31:31,820 --> 02:31:39,300
This is not about public safety, this is about big government and leftist racketeering.

1689
02:31:40,020 --> 02:31:48,100
And it needs to be redefined as that and the people on this council need to quit super-imposing

1690
02:31:50,040 --> 02:31:56,460
a sociopathic and psychopathic definition of what the law actually implies.

1691
02:31:57,740 --> 02:32:05,840
I heard the city manager, I mean the city attorney talked about our laws, and that's what

1692
02:32:05,840 --> 02:32:06,600
needs to be applied.

1693
02:32:06,900 --> 02:32:07,680
Thank you very much.

1694
02:32:07,980 --> 02:32:08,980
Thank you.

1695
02:32:10,340 --> 02:32:16,740
Vivian Dunbar, oh, I'm sorry, go ahead, John, sorry about that.

1696
02:32:17,300 --> 02:32:19,200
Actually I think it should say Jim, and that's the same.

1697
02:32:19,200 --> 02:32:20,140
Jim is so feel.

1698
02:32:20,400 --> 02:32:21,180
Okay, again.

1699
02:32:22,640 --> 02:32:22,780
I'm different.

1700
02:32:23,520 --> 02:32:24,700
I'm a city resident.

1701
02:32:25,600 --> 02:32:36,460
And I wanted to support this resolution, because I think it's important to recognize that

1702
02:32:36,460 --> 02:32:42,700
immigrants may be authorized or authorized, but they still should be subject to the

1703
02:32:42,700 --> 02:32:50,120
laws of the country and the city, and just because your immigration status doesn't make

1704
02:32:51,100 --> 02:32:59,560
guilty of other crimes, necessarily, or things like that. Looking at the resolution, I slipped

1705
02:32:59,560 --> 02:33:05,580
at part five, which was to this discussion and all the hard work that they've done,

1706
02:33:05,600 --> 02:33:11,820
and I saw this as the hard of the issue. This will be turning the success of this resolution

1707
02:33:11,820 --> 02:33:17,420
they're not, and what I've seen there are big things we agree with, things we disagree with,

1708
02:33:17,420 --> 02:33:23,680
But I would, in general, feel that this is a very good resolution, and some of the comments that

1709
02:33:24,940 --> 02:33:30,540
Council member Aguera and the can made, I think those are important to try and get everyone's opinions

1710
02:33:30,540 --> 02:33:37,180
and support and concepts for how this can be made to work for everyone. Thank you.

1711
02:33:37,280 --> 02:33:42,860
Thank you very much, Ms. Gophil. Vivian Dunbar, followed by Becky Thillman.

1712
02:33:42,860 --> 02:33:42,860
All

1713
02:33:46,600 --> 02:33:47,400
right.

1714
02:33:47,960 --> 02:33:51,960
I've been reading numbers at the City Council and the City staff.

1715
02:33:53,600 --> 02:33:58,960
I respect the City Council on April 4th and on that night I will allow the Article 1 of

1716
02:33:58,960 --> 02:34:05,180
the Declaration of Independence where it says all manner created equal and from a message

1717
02:34:05,180 --> 02:34:06,640
on the statute of liberty.

1718
02:34:07,260 --> 02:34:12,160
I do have some consideration to be given to remember the principles and the ideals that

1719
02:34:12,160 --> 02:34:14,500
our nation was founded on.

1720
02:34:14,500 --> 02:34:21,960
Tonight, I would like to talk about how the issue of immigration integration is perceived in America and here in our

1721
02:34:21,960 --> 02:34:31,960
syllabus to community. There are communities in America where some residents have met a few Mexican, and perhaps there's only a very few.

1722
02:34:32,580 --> 02:34:37,900
These people at all Americans are hearing messages from President Trump and Attorney Jeff Sessions,

1723
02:34:41,880 --> 02:34:43,340
and the

1724
02:34:43,340 --> 02:34:45,560
we're sending this rapists and murderers,

1725
02:34:46,080 --> 02:34:48,420
and on a recent business of the board of the Gospels,

1726
02:34:48,620 --> 02:34:52,500
Socialist declared we had to get rid of this step.

1727
02:34:52,620 --> 02:34:54,780
That was pretty recently in last week,

1728
02:34:55,140 --> 02:34:57,120
LePranza, San Diego, and his paper.

1729
02:34:57,780 --> 02:34:59,620
Over here at California, we have a state code

1730
02:34:59,620 --> 02:35:01,100
with millions of immigrants.

1731
02:35:01,460 --> 02:35:04,840
So, I do some messages affecting the way we see

1732
02:35:04,840 --> 02:35:06,000
at immigrants' neighbors.

1733
02:35:06,480 --> 02:35:08,420
There's been these media telling destroyed

1734
02:35:08,420 --> 02:35:10,460
the effects of Trump's deportation order

1735
02:35:10,460 --> 02:35:13,240
in a fair and balanced way.

1736
02:35:13,340 --> 02:35:17,060
This is nothing to be the case here in Singapore to this step.

1737
02:35:17,900 --> 02:35:23,700
At the recent April 4th City Council meeting, 49 people gave passion,

1738
02:35:24,000 --> 02:35:27,140
that special features, and they would be having a sanctuary city.

1739
02:35:27,680 --> 02:35:31,080
Among these figures, the leaders of the community, including Padre Williams,

1740
02:35:31,240 --> 02:35:35,860
the back defense service group, heads of local unions and school boards.

1741
02:35:36,720 --> 02:35:40,020
And they also pass through that the importance of recognizing the rights

1742
02:35:40,020 --> 02:35:43,680
and doing it in thousands of immigrants in our community.

1743
02:35:44,000 --> 02:35:46,480
Despite the prominence of some of these speakers,

1744
02:35:47,120 --> 02:35:49,460
none of them knows the period in our local news.

1745
02:35:50,360 --> 02:35:53,580
More the content of the powerful moving speeches.

1746
02:35:54,300 --> 02:35:57,580
Instead, for example, China has done a much to my shock

1747
02:35:57,580 --> 02:36:00,840
of featured two speakers that were,

1748
02:36:00,840 --> 02:36:03,760
I guess, to the best of becoming a sanctuary city.

1749
02:36:04,340 --> 02:36:06,740
Now, at Friday's third events,

1750
02:36:06,740 --> 02:36:12,400
Our Terry General Sessions was there, and the media seemed to highlight his speech about

1751
02:36:12,400 --> 02:36:14,120
asking Peter's then activity.

1752
02:36:14,640 --> 02:36:21,300
He used that as an example, you know, of why we should not have sanctuary status, and apparently

1753
02:36:21,300 --> 02:36:25,660
the police chief up there, he has to do it about theory of said, it's have sessions, comments,

1754
02:36:26,680 --> 02:36:30,520
and he's demanding some sort of explanation of the Department of Justice.

1755
02:36:30,820 --> 02:36:36,140
He said that is not true, and apparently I think in 2-12, that's going to be to get some sort

1756
02:36:36,140 --> 02:36:39,300
the world with a cooperating with immigration.

1757
02:36:39,980 --> 02:36:43,480
This story was made to the A.P. wire services

1758
02:36:43,480 --> 02:36:46,940
and if we put in newspapers all over America,

1759
02:36:47,020 --> 02:36:49,520
a little town's in Kansas and Georgia,

1760
02:36:50,140 --> 02:36:54,500
and Washington State, and we are really researched a lot.

1761
02:36:54,960 --> 02:36:56,720
And I couldn't find the mention of this

1762
02:36:56,720 --> 02:36:58,600
and then he said, rhythmers.

1763
02:36:58,780 --> 02:37:02,520
Either I do think I must say, I think KLSU right mentioned it.

1764
02:37:02,520 --> 02:37:07,540
What I'm going to do is, the other one is also Helen, who is a student by an anti-immigrant

1765
02:37:07,540 --> 02:37:10,620
person who remarks on an isolated criminal incident.

1766
02:37:11,440 --> 02:37:15,360
And the groups of immigrant rights advocates gathered at the board and were largely

1767
02:37:15,360 --> 02:37:16,140
mad.

1768
02:37:16,640 --> 02:37:20,620
By as repose her appearance, I look at the marriage repose her to remove the curriculum

1769
02:37:20,620 --> 02:37:23,880
passionate voices, the leaders and members of our community.

1770
02:37:24,680 --> 02:37:29,460
I'm also quickly like to take in that I found that just sessions on the people with

1771
02:37:29,460 --> 02:37:35,980
I made a visit to the outtime ASA, I used to attention facility in the press was not allowed to be there.

1772
02:37:36,600 --> 02:37:42,380
You know, even though certainly people would want to know what those people in the detention center had to say.

1773
02:37:42,480 --> 02:37:46,000
How long have they been there? And one of the conditions they're living under.

1774
02:37:46,620 --> 02:37:51,720
Anyway, if you have some field of these nurses, your signs that are in the room, the opposition would have no power.

1775
02:37:51,940 --> 02:37:58,500
I believe our community's situation is like a cancer. Can't see us silent, but if it's more, it can be a deadly destroyer.

1776
02:37:59,040 --> 02:38:03,220
And our community, I feel I've been destroyed from within because of Trump's immigration

1777
02:38:03,220 --> 02:38:03,920
policies.

1778
02:38:04,520 --> 02:38:08,160
People are afraid to repeat their crimes, they're afraid to read their driver's licenses.

1779
02:38:08,820 --> 02:38:12,160
They're afraid to come over and shop a lot of people that would have been teachy of it.

1780
02:38:12,280 --> 02:38:16,600
Well, I'm really going to come back and forth and shop, and they're like, we're doing so, families

1781
02:38:16,600 --> 02:38:18,920
who live in the fear of being torn apart.

1782
02:38:19,780 --> 02:38:21,820
Help crime are all you need to wrap up.

1783
02:38:23,200 --> 02:38:23,280
Okay.

1784
02:38:23,280 --> 02:38:25,720
So this is the story I chose as a community for within.

1785
02:38:25,720 --> 02:38:36,360
Now is that the time for silence for middle-of-the-road policies, it's time for a community to join the community, for other communities, and stand strong and speak out of less with cancer.

1786
02:38:37,180 --> 02:38:38,040
Thank you very much.

1787
02:38:38,820 --> 02:38:39,060
No?

1788
02:38:39,420 --> 02:38:39,900
No?

1789
02:38:41,340 --> 02:38:41,540
Okay.

1790
02:38:42,980 --> 02:38:43,540
Thank you.

1791
02:38:48,680 --> 02:38:49,640
Thank you.

1792
02:38:51,320 --> 02:38:52,040
My name is Becky.

1793
02:38:52,040 --> 02:38:59,140
to each of the family. Hello Mayor Salis and Council members. I am a retired teacher of

1794
02:38:59,140 --> 02:39:05,260
very years from the Chivalvest Elementary School District. I felt that each and everyone

1795
02:39:05,260 --> 02:39:10,480
in my children, I taught Anna families that I came in contact with, had the need to feel

1796
02:39:10,480 --> 02:39:16,800
that I had respected and loved for themselves as well as welcome to my classroom and my school.

1797
02:39:16,800 --> 02:39:23,420
We are in a unique area. We are not only on a border, we are also on a coast.

1798
02:39:24,960 --> 02:39:30,620
We are economic, social, and any other kinds of unrest in other parts of the world.

1799
02:39:31,100 --> 02:39:34,060
We are one of the places that people integrate to.

1800
02:39:34,340 --> 02:39:38,060
Many languages and cultures are represented here in our community.

1801
02:39:39,020 --> 02:39:44,880
The two of us to elementary school district is the largest elementary school district in the state of California.

1802
02:39:45,440 --> 02:39:53,020
I have at least when I was teaching, which was up to seven years ago, they had 46 to 47

1803
02:39:53,020 --> 02:39:56,740
schools. I think maybe they might be up to 48, maybe now, maybe 49.

1804
02:39:58,440 --> 02:40:02,660
What we learned is that the city, the city, the city, the city, the city being known, now,

1805
02:40:02,940 --> 02:40:07,800
and in the future as a city that makes sure that all people are respected in regard to value.

1806
02:40:07,920 --> 02:40:12,740
No matter what status, there's to this in its ship is in the moment.

1807
02:40:14,280 --> 02:40:21,580
When impact could be made, if a program could be set up to identify community needs and priorities,

1808
02:40:22,220 --> 02:40:28,620
then efforts could be coordinated for refugees and immigrants with both school district offices,

1809
02:40:29,240 --> 02:40:33,420
and that's in both children's elementary school district, as well as sort water,

1810
02:40:33,600 --> 02:40:36,400
because they're not unified, it's to different districts.

1811
02:40:37,500 --> 02:40:44,620
And then setting up some sort of human services offices and valves in this, you know, you get

1812
02:40:44,620 --> 02:40:51,360
involved and then work together. Children are students need to feel comfortable and squirrel

1813
02:40:51,360 --> 02:40:57,500
to be able to learn. Education teaching and a lot of learning is the most important community

1814
02:40:57,500 --> 02:41:03,500
that can be given to any individual group of people. Yes, I may have taught children that can

1815
02:41:03,500 --> 02:41:09,300
across the border, but I would rather educate someone and do it lovingly than not educate

1816
02:41:09,300 --> 02:41:10,800
and be someone in the dark.

1817
02:41:11,520 --> 02:41:17,340
I was reminded just last week by someone, one of my friends, that Trump had said at one

1818
02:41:17,340 --> 02:41:21,280
point that we can't keep taking care of everyone else in the world.

1819
02:41:21,840 --> 02:41:27,580
But I told that friend, well, we gave guns and weapons to the Middle East for years.

1820
02:41:27,580 --> 02:41:34,820
We'll happen to get back, I don't want to have to go back and remind you of the details of 9-11,

1821
02:41:35,420 --> 02:41:39,080
where we gave references literally to these all those years.

1822
02:41:40,180 --> 02:41:41,800
Educate or weaponize.

1823
02:41:43,180 --> 02:41:50,080
I would be able to educate when I looked at that person that person really had a sick look on their face,

1824
02:41:50,340 --> 02:41:51,340
and looked really concerned.

1825
02:41:52,880 --> 02:41:55,960
I support the resolution under consideration in the night,

1826
02:41:55,960 --> 02:42:02,240
And I have made some suggestions for communication with these wonderful people that have chosen

1827
02:42:02,240 --> 02:42:04,400
and are choosing to come to the USA.

1828
02:42:05,340 --> 02:42:08,060
A lot of these people have been terrorized in their own countries.

1829
02:42:08,560 --> 02:42:15,100
Can't we show them as much compassion as possible as they make it choose to make their homes

1830
02:42:15,100 --> 02:42:16,920
here in our country?

1831
02:42:17,180 --> 02:42:18,240
Thank you very much.

1832
02:42:19,420 --> 02:42:21,020
I have one last quote,

1833
02:42:21,020 --> 02:42:29,400
because so little to teach a child to love and so much to teach a child to hate.

1834
02:42:29,740 --> 02:42:31,140
Thank you so much.

1835
02:42:31,540 --> 02:42:34,700
Patty Hoffman and Bertha Gutierrez and Margaret Baker.

1836
02:42:35,500 --> 02:42:37,140
Quickly, quickly.

1837
02:42:37,740 --> 02:42:38,240
Good evening.

1838
02:42:39,280 --> 02:42:45,720
I'm here this evening to encourage you to support and protect our neighbors and friends who are

1839
02:42:45,720 --> 02:42:54,520
at the present time being fearful and uncertain of their positions in our city. Having taught

1840
02:42:54,520 --> 02:42:59,780
which others is his course for almost 30 years, I recognize, building where I see it and

1841
02:42:59,780 --> 02:43:06,080
I, we did not tolerate it on the playgrounds, I don't feel that we should tolerate in

1842
02:43:06,080 --> 02:43:11,320
our cities in our state. The current attack by the federal government discreet group

1843
02:43:11,320 --> 02:43:18,460
and the first of these like ours who value the history and diversity of our community

1844
02:43:18,460 --> 02:43:26,520
to do their bidding, although with whole fuss, is in my opinion a brilliant technique.

1845
02:43:27,380 --> 02:43:34,260
Having lived in a truly distant land, terror life, I can't agree that we have ever been, or are now,

1846
02:43:34,340 --> 02:43:39,400
a world's own, which is what I understand the Attorney General described our broader communities as.

1847
02:43:40,220 --> 02:43:47,540
The last time I asked our statistics about sure the VISTA, we were the seven safest city of our

1848
02:43:47,540 --> 02:43:49,540
size in the nation.

1849
02:43:50,700 --> 02:43:57,420
I feel we will see unfairness and the business increase in our justice system if we give

1850
02:43:57,420 --> 02:44:00,080
in to the demands at the present time.

1851
02:44:00,520 --> 02:44:05,320
And yet when those who feel, I left the end who feels this way, as you can see from the

1852
02:44:05,320 --> 02:44:10,420
of cities and even our state that is training in this direction.

1853
02:44:10,840 --> 02:44:15,580
Also, I will just leave the name to stand the Federal Judging Room in California issued

1854
02:44:15,580 --> 02:44:19,560
a preliminary injunction against the administration's

1855
02:44:19,560 --> 02:44:23,440
objection to stop trying to cut the aid by.

1856
02:44:24,540 --> 02:44:28,160
So, we call on you to resist the bullying contract,

1857
02:44:28,160 --> 02:44:30,920
previously, to defend the rights of the U.S.

1858
02:44:30,920 --> 02:44:39,920
university, but the rest you join in the Royal Queen of America network learning is to support SB 54,

1859
02:44:40,660 --> 02:44:44,920
finalizing the actions to join in the American way.

1860
02:44:46,240 --> 02:44:51,000
The Santa Clara, as I've been to school in the challenge of executive order 1376.

1861
02:44:51,840 --> 02:44:57,560
You should really put it just for the way that you will list the wealthiest people of our nation's degrees

1862
02:44:57,560 --> 02:44:58,620
and thanks.

1863
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:05,780
And based on our most strict values of fairness and justice, for all.

1864
02:45:05,960 --> 02:45:07,140
Thank you so much.

1865
02:45:07,480 --> 02:45:08,520
Birth to the dearest.

1866
02:45:12,120 --> 02:45:13,240
Good afternoon, everyone.

1867
02:45:13,600 --> 02:45:14,880
Both of you have this here.

1868
02:45:15,180 --> 02:45:18,040
Him and rights, grassroots human rights activists.

1869
02:45:19,400 --> 02:45:23,080
Tonight, I want to share some stories that have affected me,

1870
02:45:23,080 --> 02:45:25,100
personally for the rest of my life.

1871
02:45:26,080 --> 02:45:30,960
I want to tell everyone about how a deportation of my eldest brother

1872
02:45:30,960 --> 02:45:38,320
who was like a father to me, has left a home in my heart forever, because, once deported,

1873
02:45:38,980 --> 02:45:44,980
financially, I could not just take a separate quest to build a physical season, and visit

1874
02:45:44,980 --> 02:45:54,260
within my wanted to. When I needed to talk to him and ask people advice, when I needed a hug and

1875
02:45:54,260 --> 02:46:01,560
isolation, because on this came home, who dared, my three brothers, and two sisters, that

1876
02:46:01,560 --> 02:46:10,160
had passed away. My brother, the ribbons, my walk. He was my pillar, and every since I was

1877
02:46:10,160 --> 02:46:17,060
a little girl, I was his baby sister. My brother, the ribbons, he had came here to the United

1878
02:46:17,060 --> 02:46:23,240
States when he was only five years old. My long after my father, the prophet, the eldest

1879
02:46:23,240 --> 02:46:31,540
to the United States during the Bracetal Program. At the age of 69, my brother was pulled over

1880
02:46:31,540 --> 02:46:38,760
and arrested during the anti-immigration law at 1670. After spending one year on a privatized

1881
02:46:38,760 --> 02:46:42,300
prison, he was decoded at the age of 70.

1882
02:46:45,110 --> 02:46:48,650
Shortly thereafter, my brother died in Wattis, Mexico.

1883
02:46:49,570 --> 02:46:57,470
away from all of his family, his neighbors, in his loved ones. His demise displayed our family.

1884
02:46:58,350 --> 02:47:03,830
My family suffered immensely from the days he was taken away from his family.

1885
02:47:03,830 --> 02:47:09,750
Her family should ever have to suffer the separation in last seven loved ones, because the race is lost.

1886
02:47:10,310 --> 02:47:13,650
Because this isn't about our burden, this is about racism.

1887
02:47:15,430 --> 02:47:20,030
Today I will also speak about Raul and the Distanien Plotters.

1888
02:47:20,830 --> 02:47:26,710
A father and his nine-year-old daughter who were murdered in their own home in Arivaka, Arizona.

1889
02:47:27,530 --> 02:47:33,250
The members of a militia group have mad, short for a minute men, American defense.

1890
02:47:33,250 --> 02:47:36,810
who patrol the Arizona Mexican border.

1891
02:47:37,750 --> 02:47:42,710
In this case, both father and daughter were American citizens.

1892
02:47:44,090 --> 02:47:49,150
The murder of Breshenia Flores was basically motivated by this militia group.

1893
02:47:49,870 --> 02:47:52,830
Today I speak for them, and for Gina Gonzalez,

1894
02:47:53,410 --> 02:48:01,950
right from mother of the woman Breshenia Flores, who witnessed and survived the attack of two very most precious loved ones.

1895
02:48:01,950 --> 02:48:06,810
who were never ever feel safe anywhere again.

1896
02:48:07,590 --> 02:48:12,570
Arizona became a hub for minute-men groups because it was so easy.

1897
02:48:13,430 --> 02:48:18,610
In fact, state leaders not only tolerated but even encouraged border vigilantes.

1898
02:48:20,330 --> 02:48:26,390
There are just two families of over 2 million who were destroyed because of anti-ingrid loss.

1899
02:48:26,390 --> 02:48:31,630
My 70-year-old brother was a loving, kind-hearted son who never hurt anyone.

1900
02:48:32,430 --> 02:48:35,550
How did his deportation make America safe?

1901
02:48:36,890 --> 02:48:43,390
Now you will be staying afloatist and American citizen died in her own home begging for her life.

1902
02:48:44,390 --> 02:48:47,730
That will also stay with me for the rest of my life.

1903
02:48:48,410 --> 02:48:57,050
I urge you to stand behind what the welcome city status for Chula Vista because there

1904
02:48:57,050 --> 02:49:01,030
is no pay piece for living in fear.

1905
02:49:01,150 --> 02:49:03,550
Living in fear is not living.

1906
02:49:03,830 --> 02:49:04,270
Thank you.

1907
02:49:04,730 --> 02:49:04,850
Thank you.

1908
02:49:04,850 --> 02:49:04,870
Thank you.

1909
02:49:05,830 --> 02:49:06,310
Thank you.

1910
02:49:06,310 --> 02:49:06,370
Thank you.

1911
02:49:06,370 --> 02:49:06,770
Thank you.

1912
02:49:06,870 --> 02:49:08,050
Thank you.

1913
02:49:08,050 --> 02:49:14,970
go feel please get ready speak Margaret. Margaret. Oh you're not. You don't want to speak.

1914
02:49:15,650 --> 02:49:22,330
I do. Okay. And please again if we can keep our comments under five minutes under three minutes,

1915
02:49:22,590 --> 02:49:30,230
thank you. Thank you. Indeed, I will say I'll leave. On behalf of staff day, people power,

1916
02:49:30,830 --> 02:49:36,290
I support the resolution of the consideration tonight. They can support it that the city

1917
02:49:36,290 --> 02:49:41,490
It's policies regarding immigration and enforcement and its relationship with the federal government.

1918
02:49:41,810 --> 02:49:47,330
The community needs reassurance that all residents will experience equal and first move the law

1919
02:49:47,330 --> 02:49:57,090
and equal service regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or socioeconomic or immigration status.

1920
02:49:57,090 --> 02:50:00,670
And certainly, all of a sudden it should be treated with fairness and dignity.

1921
02:50:01,410 --> 02:50:05,710
We certainly do not win any of our local resources to be used to enforce integration laws,

1922
02:50:05,870 --> 02:50:08,130
which is a federal responsibility.

1923
02:50:09,070 --> 02:50:13,970
And these policies need to be integrated into every aspect of our city government.

1924
02:50:15,190 --> 02:50:19,210
We've got to point five of the list that's been provided in the resolution.

1925
02:50:19,210 --> 02:50:26,530
We urge the council members and see staff to take an active role in efforts to communicate

1926
02:50:26,530 --> 02:50:30,610
about the reasons for and the importance of these official city policies.

1927
02:50:31,370 --> 02:50:37,870
The city needs your positive voices to be heard about welcoming and inclusiveness and

1928
02:50:37,870 --> 02:50:39,090
equal treatment.

1929
02:50:39,710 --> 02:50:44,350
I urge you to use all the methods at your disposal to get the right out to the daily

1930
02:50:44,350 --> 02:50:47,350
public, not just our own communities.

1931
02:50:47,350 --> 02:50:53,270
We need you to promote these principles in the newsletter's web pages speaking engagements

1932
02:50:53,270 --> 02:50:56,510
in the nearest state of the city address next week.

1933
02:50:56,770 --> 02:51:01,770
We need you to seek out opportunities for educational firms and churches, schools and other public gatherings.

1934
02:51:02,450 --> 02:51:07,990
We need to see you and your positive representations in the news media.

1935
02:51:09,210 --> 02:51:14,070
Our Facebook, Twitter, and standing proudly as a welcoming city.

1936
02:51:14,070 --> 02:51:21,450
I call him Ruder Broadcast the message that true of the state is safe and true of the state is welcoming.

1937
02:51:22,450 --> 02:51:28,510
The resolution we are waiting on tonight is a good step forward, which is also admit that we still face challenges.

1938
02:51:29,170 --> 02:51:40,050
But South Bay people power in every community groups we present here tonight are here tonight with you, with each other, and with other jurisdictions in a broader effort to build safe

1939
02:51:40,050 --> 02:51:46,030
and hate free environments for all in the books and refugees are welcomed and treated equally. Thank you very much.

1940
02:51:46,330 --> 02:51:51,950
Thank you so much. Carolyn Schofield, Beather O'Reos and Lisa Guestas.

1941
02:51:51,950 --> 02:51:52,830
Get ready.

1942
02:51:53,850 --> 02:51:59,130
Good evening, honourable Mayor City Council members and city staff. My name is Carolyn Schofield.

1943
02:51:59,810 --> 02:52:06,030
I live in Chula Vista and I am a part of the Courage Campaign. I host a community meeting.

1944
02:52:08,350 --> 02:52:25,590
I would like to speak, and we actually would appreciate being able to give input, especially on number five of the resolution involving communication with the city council and the city of Chulivista.

1945
02:52:26,390 --> 02:52:34,190
But I'm here just to make a general statement, this resolution is an important roadmap for the city of Chulivista for years to come.

1946
02:52:34,190 --> 02:52:41,010
We can use the policies and the programs affirmed and created by this resolution to focus on

1947
02:52:41,010 --> 02:52:47,670
and stand up for our shared values, tolerance, social justice, and our community.

1948
02:52:48,290 --> 02:52:54,250
This resolution can guide us moving forward to unite and take actions to make life better

1949
02:52:54,250 --> 02:52:55,670
for all our residents.

1950
02:52:56,450 --> 02:53:01,930
We will be able to use the strengths from our diversity and enlist community members to support

1951
02:53:01,930 --> 02:53:02,770
each other.

1952
02:53:02,770 --> 02:53:12,350
Most importantly, this resolution can lead us to ensure the health and well-being for those in our community who cannot speak up for themselves.

1953
02:53:13,050 --> 02:53:14,030
Thank you so much.

1954
02:53:14,430 --> 02:53:14,770
Thank you.

1955
02:53:15,810 --> 02:53:17,570
Pedro, please.

1956
02:53:19,170 --> 02:53:21,990
And then I'm going to be calling up Roberto after Lisa.

1957
02:53:22,890 --> 02:53:24,230
So Roberto, I'll come back.

1958
02:53:25,330 --> 02:53:30,410
The reason I have a mirror and customer number cities that my name is Beber Riis, I'm

1959
02:53:30,410 --> 02:53:34,830
the director of the American Friends Service Community, which is a human rights organization

1960
02:53:34,830 --> 02:53:39,190
that has been working on human rights issues and border issues for 40 years in St.

1961
02:53:39,190 --> 02:53:40,110
York County.

1962
02:53:40,670 --> 02:53:45,270
Also, I remember the St. York Public Rights Consortium, which is a coalition of over 40

1963
02:53:45,270 --> 02:53:49,730
organizations working on independent refugee issues in St. York County.

1964
02:53:50,410 --> 02:53:57,230
And I think not only I am a 13 year resident of the city of Turbista living in District 4.

1965
02:53:57,550 --> 02:54:00,910
I want to thank you for bringing forward the resolution which I support.

1966
02:54:01,390 --> 02:54:05,650
I think the represents a commitment from the city of Turbista and its electric officials

1967
02:54:05,650 --> 02:54:10,690
to upload the basic principles that all people should be treated with dignity and with respect.

1968
02:54:10,690 --> 02:54:18,550
I do have some concerns, however, earlier today that Chief of Police commented to the media

1969
02:54:18,550 --> 02:54:23,410
sources that she was not in favour of SB-54, which concerns me because in that

1970
02:54:23,410 --> 02:54:28,770
represents disconnect from the resolution, the exposure of the resolution, as well as

1971
02:54:30,570 --> 02:54:36,010
general public and resident of Trulvista commenting about what they would like to see in terms

1972
02:54:36,010 --> 02:54:40,370
of a statement that reflects those values that are called the basic principles of

1973
02:54:40,370 --> 02:54:48,770
And I think that also is a responsibility in passing this resolution as a step forward, a step that represents

1974
02:54:48,770 --> 02:54:50,750
opposing those basic values.

1975
02:54:51,230 --> 02:54:57,490
For one, because the situation this has taken tens of thousands of dollars from federal government

1976
02:54:57,490 --> 02:55:03,090
through Operation Steering Parking, which is reimbursement for building enforcement operations

1977
02:55:03,090 --> 02:55:08,870
or operations that involves the sort of collaboration with federal immigration agents.

1978
02:55:09,450 --> 02:55:16,030
So, we've got to do want to say that given that there have been statements from the left

1979
02:55:16,030 --> 02:55:23,290
of officials from the South County that are despicable, statements that reflect its

1980
02:55:23,290 --> 02:55:29,770
line of phobic sentiments that are representative of what I believe to be a general pilot

1981
02:55:29,770 --> 02:55:34,530
representative in the South Bay. I think this resolution, as I said previously, is a step

1982
02:55:34,530 --> 02:55:38,130
in the red direction and I urge you to support it.

1983
02:55:38,270 --> 02:55:38,690
Thank you.

1984
02:55:38,710 --> 02:55:40,650
Thank you so much, Lisa Questis.

1985
02:55:43,000 --> 02:55:44,900
Roberto, get ready to speak.

1986
02:55:45,660 --> 02:55:47,220
Good evening, mayor and council members.

1987
02:55:47,620 --> 02:55:48,700
My name is Lisa Questis.

1988
02:55:49,160 --> 02:55:50,980
I am a product of immigrants.

1989
02:55:51,760 --> 02:55:54,160
I have been a resident of Tula Vistas since 2001.

1990
02:55:55,220 --> 02:55:58,980
I am the CEO of Gaza Familiar, an organization

1991
02:55:58,980 --> 02:56:03,980
who has served the South Bay region in Sanicio for 45 years.

1992
02:56:03,980 --> 02:56:11,980
We are a organization that people can come to to receive assistance in immigration forms assistance.

1993
02:56:13,140 --> 02:56:20,240
We host a lot of lawyer rights workshops, and we provide a lot of valuable services to the community.

1994
02:56:21,120 --> 02:56:28,560
And we are working together with Sunday or Alliance and other immigration attorneys to make sure we're providing the best services to residents and immigrants.

1995
02:56:28,560 --> 02:56:38,720
And I want to say that this resolution and the mayor and council members is reflective of a very diverse community.

1996
02:56:39,440 --> 02:56:50,560
Therefore, you have the responsibility to make a statement in a time where we have to remember that a lot has happened since the 60s.

1997
02:56:50,560 --> 02:57:01,060
Mayor Salis and this council is an example of that and recently I heard that a lot is worth a speak and she said we have to be careful not to despair

1998
02:57:01,060 --> 02:57:04,200
But we do have to act and

1999
02:57:04,200 --> 02:57:06,800
You have to act responsibly in a tiny

2000
02:57:06,800 --> 02:57:12,720
Adversary like today and so I thank you for bringing this resolution forward, but it's not

2001
02:57:13,240 --> 02:57:20,160
The only thing that has to continue to happen. This is a big step, but it should be among many more

2002
02:57:20,560 --> 02:57:26,620
to ensure to invest in all the people that you have honored today that are like-minded

2003
02:57:26,620 --> 02:57:33,500
that we need to be inclusive and build and community in building equitable prosperity means

2004
02:57:33,500 --> 02:57:39,460
we have to send a welcoming and inclusive and diverse message that is supportive of all

2005
02:57:39,460 --> 02:57:43,200
to the citizens. Thank you. Thank you so much, Roberto. I'll go dot

2006
02:57:43,200 --> 02:57:46,980
followed by Anthony Ortiz and heard him at Garland.

2007
02:57:48,040 --> 02:57:49,520
Good evening, I'm Mayor and City Council.

2008
02:57:50,240 --> 02:57:54,020
Last time I was here, I was here on behalf of, as a Board Member of

2009
02:57:54,020 --> 02:57:54,580
Southern College.

2010
02:57:55,080 --> 02:57:57,300
But today I'm here on behalf of the ACLU of San Diego and in

2011
02:57:57,300 --> 02:57:57,860
Perok counties.

2012
02:57:58,480 --> 02:58:00,640
And so I'm sure to start off by saying that we commend the

2013
02:58:00,640 --> 02:58:03,920
Chilness of Mayor and City Council for listening and responding to

2014
02:58:03,920 --> 02:58:07,200
concerns and fears raised by a constituent by your constituents regarding

2015
02:58:07,200 --> 02:58:09,620
the city's policies on immigration enforcement.

2016
02:58:10,200 --> 02:58:12,900
We are happy to see this resolution before the council for a vote.

2017
02:58:12,900 --> 02:58:15,780
and encourage you to give it your unanimous support.

2018
02:58:16,500 --> 02:58:20,500
Adopting the resolution when Shivis City has a sample policy to protect our immigrant communities,

2019
02:58:21,180 --> 02:58:24,180
a policy consistent with the children's supposed to provide admission statement,

2020
02:58:24,760 --> 02:58:27,720
and policy 428 and CBPD policy manual.

2021
02:58:28,460 --> 02:58:31,940
In voting to adopt this resolution, you have a line on your side.

2022
02:58:32,280 --> 02:58:35,920
Earlier today, a US district court judge issued a nationwide preliminary injection

2023
02:58:36,820 --> 02:58:40,940
blocking implementing President Trump's executive order to deny federal funds

2024
02:58:40,940 --> 02:58:42,860
to so-called sanctuary jurisdictions.

2025
02:58:43,620 --> 02:58:45,440
This resolution together with current policies,

2026
02:58:45,720 --> 02:58:48,420
reinforced, children, VISTAs, commitment to reproduction

2027
02:58:48,420 --> 02:58:50,540
and new classes for our city residents.

2028
02:58:51,220 --> 02:58:52,680
This will ensure our immigrant communities

2029
02:58:52,680 --> 02:58:54,760
will protect it and respect it.

2030
02:58:54,780 --> 02:58:56,740
It will foster greater trust and cooperation

2031
02:58:56,740 --> 02:58:59,360
between CVPD and immigrant communities

2032
02:58:59,360 --> 02:59:01,400
growing the potential for crime,

2033
02:59:01,740 --> 02:59:04,240
improving public safety, and conserving public resources.

2034
02:59:04,920 --> 02:59:06,740
It will make sure that VISTA and rural justice

2035
02:59:06,740 --> 02:59:08,040
and inclusive place for our residents.

2036
02:59:08,540 --> 02:59:10,840
So again, I'm behalf of the ACLU of San Diego and Pro Counties.

2037
02:59:13,700 --> 02:59:15,580
Thank you, Anthony Ortiz.

2038
02:59:19,860 --> 02:59:21,320
Good evening, Council members.

2039
02:59:22,860 --> 02:59:23,960
It's great to be here.

2040
02:59:24,200 --> 02:59:27,500
My name is Anthony Ortiz, and I'm an organizer with Ace.

2041
02:59:28,300 --> 02:59:33,060
I really appreciate the Council's willingness to take up this issue and allowing me to

2042
02:59:33,060 --> 02:59:34,360
opportunity to speak on it.

2043
02:59:35,440 --> 02:59:38,280
I'd just like to start by showing a quick story with you all.

2044
02:59:38,280 --> 02:59:46,540
So when I was growing up, my mom used to tell me about how my uncle, her brother, was brutally

2045
02:59:46,540 --> 02:59:50,480
gunned down and murdered by an American citizen.

2046
02:59:51,220 --> 02:59:57,140
Naturally, this meant that my family was always suspicious of American citizens, including

2047
02:59:57,140 --> 02:59:57,940
ourselves.

2048
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:08,080
We felt safe with my undocumented family members. Now, if the council has not yet determined that I'm being

2049
03:00:08,080 --> 03:00:15,620
facetious, then allow me to spell it out for you. I'm being facetious. And I'm doing so to illustrate

2050
03:00:15,620 --> 03:00:21,580
how ridiculous this kind of argument against making sure the list of welcoming city sounds to me.

2051
03:00:22,180 --> 03:00:29,840
Also, I wanted to take this opportunity to explain to at least one person on the council. The difference

2052
03:00:29,840 --> 03:00:32,680
between anecdotal evidence and data.

2053
03:00:33,600 --> 03:00:36,280
You see, anecdotal evidence is based solely

2054
03:00:36,280 --> 03:00:39,860
on the implement collection of personal testimonies,

2055
03:00:40,320 --> 03:00:42,760
individual cases, which cannot be verified

2056
03:00:42,760 --> 03:00:46,620
by the scientific method to validate the argument being made.

2057
03:00:47,320 --> 03:00:49,380
When this type of argument is used,

2058
03:00:49,820 --> 03:00:52,680
there is a large chance that is unreliable

2059
03:00:52,680 --> 03:00:57,560
in otherwise non-representative of typical cases.

2060
03:00:57,560 --> 03:01:05,140
As a result, when the endoaks, even when the endoaks are accurate, these types of arguments

2061
03:01:05,140 --> 03:01:11,480
are classified as in-frontal fantasies, which means that the contents of the arguments

2062
03:01:11,480 --> 03:01:17,380
premise fails to support its conclusion. In other words, it's not a sound argument.

2063
03:01:18,500 --> 03:01:27,340
Data, on the other hand, is reliable information created you controlled verifiable case studies.

2064
03:01:27,340 --> 03:01:35,100
So we hear the argument that undocumented immigrants or murderers, drug dealers, rapist, criminals,

2065
03:01:35,860 --> 03:01:41,340
as legitimate reason not to make sure a list of a welcoming city need less question that

2066
03:01:41,340 --> 03:01:45,020
person's ability to interpret information accurately.

2067
03:01:45,720 --> 03:01:50,120
Because there has been consistently proven that communities with large numbers of

2068
03:01:50,120 --> 03:01:54,800
immigrants and undocumented people living in them have less crime than communities

2069
03:01:54,800 --> 03:01:57,800
where the residents are mostly American citizens.

2070
03:01:58,580 --> 03:02:02,760
There is literally a mountain of data that proves this,

2071
03:02:02,800 --> 03:02:06,020
because it's an issue that's been studied since the 1930s.

2072
03:02:06,140 --> 03:02:09,860
When Americans thought that immigrants from Central and Southern Europe

2073
03:02:09,860 --> 03:02:11,480
were more prone to be criminals.

2074
03:02:12,380 --> 03:02:15,180
It wasn't the case then, and it's not the case now.

2075
03:02:15,820 --> 03:02:20,580
It's the same reason that just because my uncle was murdered by American citizens,

2076
03:02:20,580 --> 03:02:25,100
I don't assume that all Americans, including everyone in this room,

2077
03:02:25,580 --> 03:02:29,120
all of you sitting in the council, are all some murderers.

2078
03:02:29,620 --> 03:02:31,060
That would be erogical.

2079
03:02:32,000 --> 03:02:38,380
So please, I'm urging you to base your decisions and sound arguments that hold up to the scrutiny

2080
03:02:38,380 --> 03:02:39,960
of the scientific method.

2081
03:02:40,400 --> 03:02:44,300
Do they require research because you're all elected officials who are interested to make

2082
03:02:44,300 --> 03:02:49,260
the best decisions on behalf of your constituents, so I urge you all to support the welcoming

2083
03:02:49,260 --> 03:02:54,440
city resolution and thank you. Thank you Mr. Farland followed by Lilliana

2084
03:02:55,100 --> 03:03:02,920
Robless and followed by Paul Martinez Montes. Please write ready to speak. Okay.

2085
03:03:02,920 --> 03:03:06,560
Good evening. I actually wasn't planning on speaking. Oh, don't.

2086
03:03:08,940 --> 03:03:17,260
I will say this. I do a majority to know for the welcoming cities. Thank you so much.

2087
03:03:17,260 --> 03:03:20,260
I was just choosing you, okay?

2088
03:03:20,960 --> 03:03:21,240
Okay.

2089
03:03:22,920 --> 03:03:24,040
Liliana Robless.

2090
03:03:26,020 --> 03:03:29,340
So, Lilie was also not speaking, she was just submitting her

2091
03:03:29,340 --> 03:03:31,320
cardin support of the resolution.

2092
03:03:31,620 --> 03:03:32,180
What was that?

2093
03:03:32,200 --> 03:03:33,480
Lilie, Liliana Robless.

2094
03:03:35,440 --> 03:03:36,100
So, good evening.

2095
03:03:36,500 --> 03:03:37,860
We are here again.

2096
03:03:38,780 --> 03:03:41,380
I'm Palala Magdinev Montez, I'm a director at In San Diego.

2097
03:03:42,320 --> 03:03:43,940
First, I want to thank you.

2098
03:03:43,940 --> 03:03:58,520
to the University of Canada, Councilwoman Pada Gillard, and my Councilman, Steve Padega, for your leadership in moving us, beginning to move us forward today and in past meetings.

2099
03:03:59,360 --> 03:04:07,380
I thank you for standing in against unconstitutional executive orders, and to thank you for signing

2100
03:04:07,380 --> 03:04:15,620
on to the Amicus brief and to be added on to the Santa Clara versus Donald Trump brief

2101
03:04:15,620 --> 03:04:24,460
to fight for, or to sign on to support the fight against taking or removing federal funding from

2102
03:04:25,740 --> 03:04:33,120
century jurisdictions. As my council member mentioned, at one of the last meetings, this

2103
03:04:33,120 --> 03:04:40,700
is very important because true of this and its policies are very much like one of

2104
03:04:40,700 --> 03:05:04,460
And just today, as Roberto mentioned, we, not we, but there was a total of apologize, said on an earlier hearing that our practices were very much of those who declared themselves a century's jurisdictions.

2105
03:05:04,460 --> 03:05:10,780
And today, as you join and welcome into the welcoming city network and formalized your practice

2106
03:05:10,780 --> 03:05:16,520
as policy, you are sending a loud message to the residents of this great city, and to the nation

2107
03:05:16,520 --> 03:05:21,920
to not govern by fear, but rather govern based on what is right and the just thing to do.

2108
03:05:22,240 --> 03:05:26,880
And I urge you not to stop here and continue to advance our immigrant communities.

2109
03:05:27,440 --> 03:05:34,140
As of now, as an example, as of now, only registered voters are able to be part of commissions in the city,

2110
03:05:34,600 --> 03:05:36,320
excluding even permanent residents.

2111
03:05:36,960 --> 03:05:43,420
Expanding and making changes to the city charter, to include and engage non-citizens in the city process,

2112
03:05:43,800 --> 03:05:47,040
could be a way to expand and really become a worker in the city.

2113
03:05:47,420 --> 03:05:50,980
So I urge you to consider those types of things to move us forward.

2114
03:05:53,160 --> 03:05:54,240
Thank you so much.

2115
03:05:54,240 --> 03:06:02,920
As my younger sister, who is here, and I think that's why I'm nervous today, has to travel

2116
03:06:02,920 --> 03:06:08,780
every single day from Bijuana to go to school, my parents were deported in 2013,

2117
03:06:10,580 --> 03:06:20,370
and no one will understand the hardships, the pain that our families have to face when a parent

2118
03:06:20,370 --> 03:06:27,610
or a family member has been deported. It's not fair. To them, it's not fair. To those who stay behind

2119
03:06:27,610 --> 03:06:34,690
And it's not fair for the community so they belong in two stusters through the pain and the suffering.

2120
03:06:36,210 --> 03:06:40,570
So again, thank you very much and there's much more work that we need to do.

2121
03:06:40,770 --> 03:06:44,250
But I'm happy to be here to meet that happen with you all.

2122
03:06:44,510 --> 03:06:45,530
Thank you very much.

2123
03:06:45,810 --> 03:06:47,410
So that I don't make any more mistakes.

2124
03:06:47,770 --> 03:06:53,250
I pulled out the speaker slips or the slips that people indicated that they did not want to speak.

2125
03:06:53,250 --> 03:07:08,010
So, we have B-clowers that's in opposition of the resolution, we have Kirin Madagay, who is in support of the opposition, I mean, of the resolution, and then we have Judy Walsh Jackson, who is in support of the resolution.

2126
03:07:08,790 --> 03:07:16,310
I'll move on to the Guadalu, Montanio, Jorge, Alexis Del Castillo, and Jason Prater.

2127
03:07:18,110 --> 03:07:18,630
Please hurry,

2128
03:07:23,710 --> 03:07:23,710
hurry.

2129
03:07:24,250 --> 03:07:25,150
Jason, get up quickly.

2130
03:07:26,910 --> 03:07:27,250
Okay.

2131
03:07:27,930 --> 03:07:28,070
Okay.

2132
03:07:28,990 --> 03:07:30,350
Whoever's ready to go.

2133
03:07:30,510 --> 03:07:31,290
Jason, come on.

2134
03:07:32,490 --> 03:07:32,930
All right.

2135
03:07:36,460 --> 03:07:36,640
Excuse me.

2136
03:07:37,040 --> 03:07:37,200
Excuse me.

2137
03:07:38,300 --> 03:07:39,220
Thank you very much.

2138
03:07:39,560 --> 03:07:39,660
Thank you.

2139
03:07:40,340 --> 03:07:40,780
Thank you.

2140
03:07:41,500 --> 03:07:42,340
Thank you.

2141
03:07:43,200 --> 03:07:48,120
for the resolution for the city of Tula-Bister to unite the Santa Clara County and the

2142
03:07:48,120 --> 03:07:52,620
and the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles and joining the welcoming American network.

2143
03:07:53,140 --> 03:07:56,560
Having spent a good deal of time in the welcoming America website yesterday in the smirning

2144
03:07:56,560 --> 03:08:01,060
that came across these words that helped to describe their mission and I believe we should

2145
03:08:01,060 --> 03:08:02,240
join them.

2146
03:08:02,520 --> 03:08:03,800
Here's what these words say.

2147
03:08:04,200 --> 03:08:08,860
In the 21st century, the strongest communities would be the ones where all people

2148
03:08:08,860 --> 03:08:11,660
can take part in economic, civic and social life.

2149
03:08:11,660 --> 03:08:17,500
These places, the cities and urbanizations were joined a welcoming American network, show

2150
03:08:17,500 --> 03:08:22,500
it as possible to build my fear and even tolerance for a bright future for all.

2151
03:08:22,880 --> 03:08:27,780
Just as food of soil is needed for a seed to grow, welcoming communities faster, culture

2152
03:08:27,780 --> 03:08:32,800
and policy environment that makes it possible for newcomers of all backgrounds to feel valued

2153
03:08:32,800 --> 03:08:37,020
and to fully participate alongside their neighbors in the social civic and economic

2154
03:08:37,020 --> 03:08:39,420
fabric of their adopted hometowns.

2155
03:08:39,420 --> 03:08:44,820
Now, like many people, I had been deeply saddened and shaking to the core by recent events

2156
03:08:44,820 --> 03:08:45,980
in a racist history.

2157
03:08:46,540 --> 03:08:50,140
And just a few years ago in 2008, on a clear of being reading, and I stood with friends

2158
03:08:50,140 --> 03:08:54,180
in the rest of Los Angeles, celebrating not only the election of the Great Land of the

2159
03:08:54,180 --> 03:08:59,020
highest office in the country, but we were also celebrating with that election link for our

2160
03:08:59,020 --> 03:08:59,560
country.

2161
03:09:00,100 --> 03:09:05,340
With that even lit for women and women of our races, we ridges backgrounds, creeds, orientations,

2162
03:09:07,100 --> 03:09:11,980
nationalities, for minorities like me who just 20 years ago, would never have imagined

2163
03:09:11,980 --> 03:09:14,120
that we witnessed on that night in 2008.

2164
03:09:15,080 --> 03:09:16,460
That we still had far to go.

2165
03:09:16,800 --> 03:09:21,600
Our country had made a huge stride in progress before, and then, to witness the progress

2166
03:09:21,600 --> 03:09:24,420
of our country, as continued in making the past two to four years.

2167
03:09:25,420 --> 03:09:29,960
Now, to have all of this continuing down, that all of this threatened on November 8th of 2016,

2168
03:09:29,960 --> 03:09:36,320
It is very hard and severe time for many of us who call us as proud Californians in front of Americans.

2169
03:09:37,200 --> 03:09:41,780
A doctor in this resolution today, becoming a rock in this city is a powerful step.

2170
03:09:42,000 --> 03:09:46,660
Our city needs to be taken ready in our nation and a federal government that never reach a livista.

2171
03:09:47,060 --> 03:09:54,960
Where always be a city open to every kind of citizen, every color, every race, every religion, every creed, every orientation,

2172
03:09:55,380 --> 03:09:59,040
whether you are documented or undocumented, we welcome you here.

2173
03:09:59,040 --> 03:10:04,180
Not only do we welcome you here, we fairly accept the fully embraced you here.

2174
03:10:04,420 --> 03:10:09,420
You are a part of the fabric and the DNA of what makes Chima Vista great.

2175
03:10:10,140 --> 03:10:13,320
The council members and city leaders, let's not stop there.

2176
03:10:13,800 --> 03:10:18,300
Let's make sure our policing efforts continue to target actually a regret activity not in

2177
03:10:18,300 --> 03:10:19,060
the racist status.

2178
03:10:19,200 --> 03:10:21,020
We've talked about that this evening.

2179
03:10:21,580 --> 03:10:24,740
Let's make sure our incredible police department continues to police our community.

2180
03:10:24,740 --> 03:10:29,680
not with the mission of the first and federal immigration law, but the simple care for our citizens.

2181
03:10:30,440 --> 03:10:33,080
Let our jail staff does not make the immigration status.

2182
03:10:33,360 --> 03:10:36,540
At least you gave arrest procedures more importantly.

2183
03:10:36,880 --> 03:10:41,720
I asked that our city leadership looking to instigating the World Commission to provide oversight

2184
03:10:41,720 --> 03:10:45,000
in this area of two of this to further becoming a welcoming city.

2185
03:10:45,420 --> 03:10:49,240
That our policies and our programs reflect the willingness and openness towards

2186
03:10:49,240 --> 03:10:55,900
towards welcoming and integrating immigrants, refugees, and all peoples of the tumouristic community.

2187
03:10:56,980 --> 03:10:59,300
Now, if I can just say something more personal, I love the city.

2188
03:10:59,820 --> 03:11:04,140
In a relatively short time that we've been here, not family and I have felt fully embraced

2189
03:11:04,140 --> 03:11:07,300
and fully empowered by tumouristic and by the staff of the community.

2190
03:11:07,700 --> 03:11:11,020
I like the same acceptance, empowerment, and embracing it for everyone.

2191
03:11:11,380 --> 03:11:14,920
I urge you to send a strong message and adapt this resolution tonight.

2192
03:11:15,080 --> 03:11:15,600
Thanks very much.

2193
03:11:16,180 --> 03:11:16,920
Thank you.

2194
03:11:16,920 --> 03:11:23,120
Because of Muntanyu and Jorge, Alexis Silca, Steve,

2195
03:11:23,420 --> 03:11:27,080
get ready to speak otherwise I'm going to pass you over okay?

2196
03:11:27,540 --> 03:11:31,500
Hello, my name is Ivacada Muntanyu and I'm a resident of the Otail Ranch community.

2197
03:11:31,900 --> 03:11:36,700
I would like to talk about why the board should vote in favor of action item nine.

2198
03:11:36,940 --> 03:11:40,280
Let's add in deals with immigration and just a step towards

2199
03:11:40,280 --> 03:11:50,460
Do I need undocumented immigrant rights protecting undocumented immigrants needs to better protection for every American?

2200
03:11:51,920 --> 03:12:09,880
For example, if an immigrant gets attacked or back away with this private type of criminal and does not put it in fear of being deported, then that encourages and makes it possible for that criminal to get away with whatever and crime they committed.

2201
03:12:11,060 --> 03:12:20,720
The early arguments that are airtight in relation to airtight is in phobic and the effects

2202
03:12:20,720 --> 03:12:28,320
air has just as bad or worse than the disgusting aviologists behind them.

2203
03:12:28,880 --> 03:12:39,080
Many of the people that are trying to have the same opportunities as you may have to go through life,

2204
03:12:39,080 --> 03:12:47,200
collecting hurdles to simply stand on the same ground as us, even if they do make it very

2205
03:12:47,200 --> 03:12:53,510
face to risk a game, send back to whatever it is that they are ready for everything.

2206
03:12:53,870 --> 03:12:59,710
But not before being exploited as they were in many independent attention centers, I've

2207
03:12:59,710 --> 03:13:06,030
heard of the hybrid prison industry where conditions and sensitivities have been so bad that

2208
03:13:06,030 --> 03:13:07,690
people have died from them.

2209
03:13:07,690 --> 03:13:18,010
So, this country where everything is about making a profit, you could be a sentencing sender to death just because they were blind on the side of the continent.

2210
03:13:19,150 --> 03:13:20,450
When could I read that?

2211
03:13:21,230 --> 03:13:30,390
It's not out of it, but they were blinder, but when they are here and you send them back to die, you are committed to making it.

2212
03:13:30,610 --> 03:13:31,710
Thank you so much.

2213
03:13:32,190 --> 03:13:37,670
Last time I'm calling Jorge Alexis Delgustio. Okay, here he is.

2214
03:13:41,540 --> 03:13:45,000
What did you mean? She came to say, I'm not sure now that we're done.

2215
03:13:45,480 --> 03:13:49,140
And I don't know if it is that my mom came here to the United States. She was very passionate

2216
03:13:49,140 --> 03:13:53,580
and I'm facing many others because I was sure she was going to make me call my grandfathers

2217
03:13:53,580 --> 03:13:56,360
going to the United States, but I'm just not even being born here.

2218
03:13:56,680 --> 03:14:01,360
He dealt with so much economic discrimination and institutional racism, but he had to go back.

2219
03:14:01,360 --> 03:14:05,100
He did not allow to grow a square and he was not able to secure a life without the

2220
03:14:05,100 --> 03:14:05,540
expert.

2221
03:14:06,780 --> 03:14:10,640
Since he did the birth, my grandpa Shrever trying to get her a green card to get her a

2222
03:14:10,640 --> 03:14:14,100
green card to get her a chrome quest builder and she didn't get it until she was 15

2223
03:14:14,100 --> 03:14:14,920
years old.

2224
03:14:15,200 --> 03:14:18,760
Imagine that a type of person whose parents was already here since they was 15 years

2225
03:14:18,760 --> 03:14:19,960
to secure a green card.

2226
03:14:20,220 --> 03:14:21,800
Most of them don't have time to wait.

2227
03:14:21,920 --> 03:14:25,200
It's in their own personal interest and their families to get a quest of boys

2228
03:14:25,200 --> 03:14:29,200
group of staffer because a lot of them are economic refugees or free values.

2229
03:14:29,200 --> 03:14:34,060
Now, there is an amount of what happens, you cannot stop the world of the people to fight for their survival.

2230
03:14:34,520 --> 03:14:39,580
It's human nature from document and this is completely illegal because they are on the last nature itself.

2231
03:14:40,060 --> 03:14:43,640
So, anybody's like another, they are very affectionate than others because of their class status.

2232
03:14:44,020 --> 03:14:52,340
But to those who have absolutely no education or no matter what happens to happen with their legalization classes, there is literally no way they are able to kind of cross this very legally.

2233
03:14:52,660 --> 03:14:56,080
This system you have is not only a racist system, but it's a classic system itself.

2234
03:14:56,420 --> 03:14:58,680
Now, there's a couple of things that I don't judge or send you to me.

2235
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:10,060
One thing that they said is that it's in the constitution, where we should have had the river immigrants because it's in the constitution, when you remind you that the constitution is inherently racist.

2236
03:15:10,620 --> 03:15:20,260
Like back in the day, they believed that black people were subhumor and they should be slaves. These were the founding fathers of the United States. Then we'll have to work with the constitution says,

2237
03:15:20,260 --> 03:15:25,100
Graphic where you believe, where you know an ethical values are, because if the family

2238
03:15:25,100 --> 03:15:29,560
values are not right, they run, that's when the maintenance needs to know, and the other

2239
03:15:29,560 --> 03:15:34,380
aspects here are these three jobs that you can read, and we're undocumented immigrants

2240
03:15:34,380 --> 03:15:35,140
still jobs.

2241
03:15:35,760 --> 03:15:40,280
Like, if they sell your job, they deserve that job, they might qualify in you, and you should

2242
03:15:40,280 --> 03:15:42,500
have that job because they're going to do a better job in here.

2243
03:15:43,560 --> 03:15:48,200
And so, for that, some people around that community, and if they don't have a choice, I

2244
03:15:48,200 --> 03:15:52,220
a friend and I've been saying food, but he was better than he got a month later he came

2245
03:15:52,220 --> 03:15:57,060
to the United States. He was raised here, he's 27 years old right now. I'm not Mexican

2246
03:15:57,060 --> 03:16:01,540
in years and I'm in the American citizen. He doesn't even know Spanish. What happens if

2247
03:16:01,540 --> 03:16:05,700
he gets deported? He doesn't know how to live over there. We're condemning him to a life

2248
03:16:05,700 --> 03:16:12,260
that he has no idea what to do in. Imagine, like can you say from his footsteps right now?

2249
03:16:12,260 --> 03:16:15,280
You're an undocumented immigrant here in the United States.

2250
03:16:15,440 --> 03:16:16,460
People don't like you.

2251
03:16:16,720 --> 03:16:19,040
If you tell people you undocumented immigrant,

2252
03:16:19,440 --> 03:16:21,280
they're going to try to kick you out of the country.

2253
03:16:21,860 --> 03:16:23,740
You can't go to law enforcement for help.

2254
03:16:23,940 --> 03:16:26,520
You can't go to the hospital to get help either.

2255
03:16:27,080 --> 03:16:28,680
You're always on a constant struggle.

2256
03:16:29,180 --> 03:16:30,880
And you know what I wanted is that that's something

2257
03:16:30,880 --> 03:16:33,340
that the Nazis did during World War II.

2258
03:16:33,580 --> 03:16:37,180
And not only did they do that, but they successfully were able to labor people

2259
03:16:37,180 --> 03:16:38,100
as illegal.

2260
03:16:38,800 --> 03:16:41,840
They said that you should not be placed on this earth.

2261
03:16:41,840 --> 03:16:43,480
That's the same thing as people are doing.

2262
03:16:43,780 --> 03:16:45,320
So much. Thank you.

2263
03:16:45,620 --> 03:16:50,560
Maggie Vincent followed by Ivan Bennett Chante.

2264
03:16:53,670 --> 03:16:54,370
Maggie Vincent

2265
03:16:57,920 --> 03:16:59,960
is Maggie here.

2266
03:17:06,720 --> 03:17:07,360
Hi, good evening.

2267
03:17:08,500 --> 03:17:09,920
She'll have this a city council.

2268
03:17:11,100 --> 03:17:13,180
And I'll have a public back here.

2269
03:17:13,740 --> 03:17:18,920
Anyway, first of all, I just went open up with I was here on the 4th of April.

2270
03:17:19,280 --> 03:17:22,360
I was able to speak then and I think God that I was able to.

2271
03:17:23,300 --> 03:17:32,580
Bottom line, my heart goes out to the people that are illegal and I do need to reiterate what

2272
03:17:32,580 --> 03:17:38,740
I did last time that they need to do everything within their power right now to come forward

2273
03:17:38,740 --> 03:17:39,900
and get legal.

2274
03:17:40,500 --> 03:17:47,140
But then to continue in an illegal status is just putting a lot of hardship on a lot of people

2275
03:17:47,140 --> 03:17:50,820
which I believe should not even be taking place.

2276
03:17:52,560 --> 03:17:56,260
My family came here in the 1930s.

2277
03:17:56,380 --> 03:17:59,700
My dad came here first to be the best-setter program.

2278
03:18:01,120 --> 03:18:08,340
And he had to stand for my mother when he was able to get her legally to come here as well.

2279
03:18:09,120 --> 03:18:11,600
It took many years, but they waited.

2280
03:18:12,400 --> 03:18:16,620
And I do understand that these people are being impatient and that they want to be here.

2281
03:18:16,620 --> 03:18:20,960
Yesterday, or today, you know, the bottom line,

2282
03:18:23,340 --> 03:18:26,100
they need to abide by the laws of the land.

2283
03:18:26,980 --> 03:18:30,560
Donald Trump is our president, whether they like it or not.

2284
03:18:31,220 --> 03:18:34,480
I never voted for our 2008 president.

2285
03:18:34,620 --> 03:18:38,680
I've never voted for him, because I don't stand for what he stood for.

2286
03:18:40,910 --> 03:18:47,930
He got America down, and he didn't do anything for America to make it great again.

2287
03:18:47,930 --> 03:18:52,450
The current administration is making America great again.

2288
03:18:54,830 --> 03:18:58,690
The people that were killed

2289
03:19:00,900 --> 03:19:05,720
by their own president, Assad, killing his own people.

2290
03:19:05,980 --> 03:19:10,200
The way that he was doing it with chemical weaponry is wrong.

2291
03:19:10,920 --> 03:19:14,860
And Trump took a stand against that and I stand with him on that issue.

2292
03:19:18,340 --> 03:19:25,000
It's about time that we have a real man in the White House that is doing right by America.

2293
03:19:26,080 --> 03:19:29,020
And our constitution is not racist.

2294
03:19:30,580 --> 03:19:33,380
Our constitution is a very good constitution.

2295
03:19:33,580 --> 03:19:35,680
That's why everybody wants to come here.

2296
03:19:38,450 --> 03:19:43,270
I would ask America to wake up and smell the coffee.

2297
03:19:43,270 --> 03:20:11,910
Okay, if people are coming here to assimilate and love America and love Americans, and abide by the laws that are already in place, and come here legally, that's wonderful, that's great, but if they're coming here to harm America, to change our laws, and to try to make our laws like those of the Middle East,

2298
03:20:11,910 --> 03:20:15,910
Then they have another thing coming because I stand against that.

2299
03:20:16,790 --> 03:20:19,590
I'm not a racist. Stop it, please.

2300
03:20:20,750 --> 03:20:22,810
Thank you, Mary, for doing that.

2301
03:20:23,170 --> 03:20:24,870
I have every right to speak.

2302
03:20:26,730 --> 03:20:28,910
There are a lot of organized groups here.

2303
03:20:33,380 --> 03:20:43,460
And I would urge them to listen to ACLJ, which is American Center for Law and Justice with Jay secular and Jordan secular.

2304
03:20:43,460 --> 03:20:53,980
I would also urge them to listen to direct TV Channel 347, which is one American news network.

2305
03:20:55,760 --> 03:21:01,380
Also to listen to Fox News 360, because it is a good news organization.

2306
03:21:04,900 --> 03:21:13,580
If welcoming America moves, you're saying that it is one and the same with sanctuary city, I am opposed to that.

2307
03:21:15,140 --> 03:21:28,460
But I do agree that the people that need that are illegals, I really do believe that they need to in some way expedite their legalization.

2308
03:21:28,980 --> 03:21:38,400
But these people need to get it in order and get their paperwork together and get it together, and that way they make it easier under children and grandchildren.

2309
03:21:44,680 --> 03:21:49,540
I do believe in law and order, and I believe that is what Trump is doing right now.

2310
03:21:49,540 --> 03:21:54,280
He is simply enforcing the laws that have always been in place.

2311
03:21:55,160 --> 03:21:57,420
The last eight years, especially, they were there.

2312
03:21:57,600 --> 03:22:00,740
They just were not being enforced by the Obama administration.

2313
03:22:03,930 --> 03:22:09,370
People are bashing Trump and saying such horrible things about the man.

2314
03:22:10,130 --> 03:22:13,750
His son in law is a Jewish immigrant.

2315
03:22:17,840 --> 03:22:19,160
Thank you, your time is up.

2316
03:22:19,240 --> 03:22:20,180
Thank you.

2317
03:22:20,180 --> 03:22:30,780
Okay, I've been penetrating, followed by Leah Chavadiya, and our last speaker is Joshua Montes.

2318
03:22:44,280 --> 03:22:46,560
Thank you.

2319
03:22:46,560 --> 03:22:53,640
policies, about immigration, the communities are really afraid.

2320
03:22:55,160 --> 03:23:00,040
I'm a huge organizer, I'm part of, I'm not buying a Filipino youth social justice organization.

2321
03:23:01,120 --> 03:23:04,600
And I'm also part of Filipino migrant center in the volunteer program.

2322
03:23:05,720 --> 03:23:10,360
The headquarters is in Long Beach, but they serve the overall selling California community

2323
03:23:10,360 --> 03:23:18,020
for low-income Filipinos, on which he is a wachestept human trafficking and immigration.

2324
03:23:20,120 --> 03:23:26,360
And since the election received a spike in clause, because people are living in fear.

2325
03:23:28,100 --> 03:23:31,300
They are being terrible from their families.

2326
03:23:32,820 --> 03:23:35,520
They live in fear from being profiled.

2327
03:23:36,260 --> 03:23:42,220
They are even afraid of traveling and they are not afraid of being the normal day of life.

2328
03:23:44,440 --> 03:23:50,460
This kind of interference in refugees, though, is really just a scapegoat tactic.

2329
03:23:51,460 --> 03:23:59,640
It's a scapegoat tactic to divide inhibition refugees from the rest of the masses of American people here in this country.

2330
03:24:01,880 --> 03:24:10,200
It's a distraction, this racism, this Islamophobia, this xenophobia, it's a distraction, keeping

2331
03:24:10,200 --> 03:24:16,160
the people divided, it's preventing them from united together and solving their actual problems,

2332
03:24:16,740 --> 03:24:21,280
their actual problems created by the wealthiest by percentage of this country, and I was

2333
03:24:21,280 --> 03:24:30,000
political and economic at times that they create, and I just find it curious and funny that

2334
03:24:30,000 --> 03:24:39,600
Saudi so-called patriots out here like to talk about legality. I respect them all, but the very best parts of this country

2335
03:24:39,600 --> 03:24:47,820
is where people start for righteousness and saw that in certain laws were unjust. The very start of this country was a little act,

2336
03:24:48,260 --> 03:24:51,620
an anti-chlorinal or a little act against the oppressor.

2337
03:24:52,620 --> 03:24:57,820
It was civil rights in the 1960s and 70s, people fled of the streets, but it's still

2338
03:24:57,820 --> 03:24:58,600
of this obedience.

2339
03:24:59,000 --> 03:25:04,100
They broke the law because they believed what was right and what was standing on the right

2340
03:25:04,100 --> 03:25:10,660
side of history, which is why I encourage you all to stand on the right side of history

2341
03:25:10,660 --> 03:25:13,320
and to support this resolution.

2342
03:25:14,800 --> 03:25:15,780
Thank you very much.

2343
03:25:16,540 --> 03:25:18,900
three, three, four, three.

2344
03:25:18,900 --> 03:25:19,800
Chauva dea.

2345
03:25:21,120 --> 03:25:21,860
Good evening today.

2346
03:25:22,080 --> 03:25:24,780
Council members and Mayor Mary-Celice.

2347
03:25:25,160 --> 03:25:26,520
Thank you for letting me speak tonight.

2348
03:25:26,760 --> 03:25:29,380
And I will be quick because I know it well.

2349
03:25:29,760 --> 03:25:30,980
I have been here for a long time.

2350
03:25:31,440 --> 03:25:34,980
But I'm hearing behalf of STIRC, the San Diego immigrant rights,

2351
03:25:34,980 --> 03:25:41,160
consortium, its a membership organization of over 43 members of organizations in San Diego community,

2352
03:25:41,540 --> 03:25:45,760
including in troll of this, that are supporting immigrants and refugee rights in San Diego.

2353
03:25:47,280 --> 03:25:52,940
And also the liberal advisory board, or on the advisory board for San Diego and the Great

2354
03:25:52,940 --> 03:25:58,860
Rights Consortium, as an immigration attorney and as the legal consultant for the board.

2355
03:26:00,420 --> 03:26:06,940
As an immigration attorney, I can assure everyone here that the immigration laws in this country are

2356
03:26:06,940 --> 03:26:12,160
very complex. I'm not going to bully you with how complex they are because we would be here

2357
03:26:13,540 --> 03:26:17,740
But there are many people here tonight who have said that people should get legal.

2358
03:26:18,540 --> 03:26:22,180
I just want to say that that's not always a possibility.

2359
03:26:22,780 --> 03:26:31,600
Even when somebody has the ability to become legal, they cannot get legal even if they are eligible for those legal rights.

2360
03:26:32,940 --> 03:26:36,980
Second, this resolution is very important.

2361
03:26:36,980 --> 03:26:49,420
It supports the community members and activists, so that they will feel safe in their own community to report crimes, to report against those people in this country who break the laws.

2362
03:26:50,280 --> 03:27:02,700
Okay, so these individuals, they may be undocumented, they may be documented, but many of them are afraid, even if they are documented or undocumented to come out in the community.

2363
03:27:02,700 --> 03:27:08,300
I have claims of my own, I have many who have come to my office in the last few months,

2364
03:27:08,520 --> 03:27:12,240
crying, afraid to go outside of their home, afraid to go to the grocery store.

2365
03:27:12,560 --> 03:27:15,060
I afraid to take their U.S. to send children to school.

2366
03:27:15,520 --> 03:27:21,740
So this resolution helps to encourage those individuals to feel safe in their community so that they can report crimes.

2367
03:27:21,880 --> 03:27:28,940
They can report those who are begging the laws, so that they can come forward and take care of their fellow community members.

2368
03:27:28,940 --> 03:27:36,020
So I'm fully pleased. I support this resolution and I believe that you should as well. Thank you. Thank you so much.

2369
03:27:37,060 --> 03:27:43,600
Judge Ramondis and there was an additional person, sorry about that Jose Rodriguez.

2370
03:27:46,800 --> 03:27:47,860
Hi ladies, try to be quick.

2371
03:27:48,200 --> 03:27:49,880
Okay, and Jose, get ready to speak.

2372
03:27:50,980 --> 03:27:55,280
Madam Nancy, you can see my amazing city staff. I just want to thank you for the opportunity to speak.

2373
03:27:55,280 --> 03:28:00,860
and support the local and city audience for our city. My name is Joshua Memphis, and I've been

2374
03:28:00,860 --> 03:28:05,960
a touristic resident since the day of November, a little more than 30 years ago. My government

2375
03:28:05,960 --> 03:28:11,400
set up here in my six children and a loving facet children. My parents decided that this is the

2376
03:28:11,400 --> 03:28:16,400
first and last year as their family, and then they filed a cracker life just about a house in the

2377
03:28:16,400 --> 03:28:21,800
district that I am very proud to say where I voted for customer of PDR. I am simply the

2378
03:28:21,800 --> 03:28:26,360
in the city resolution. Although I will be in the midst of I do not say that I do not see a difference

2379
03:28:26,360 --> 03:28:31,560
between the welcoming and sanctuary. I have been sidesteping in the executive order,

2380
03:28:31,940 --> 03:28:36,040
other men in office who does not seem to understand the checks and balances in this country,

2381
03:28:36,460 --> 03:28:41,160
and I have a work in the executive order and I have seen self-hitting that has since I have hit a

2382
03:28:41,160 --> 03:28:45,860
world rock chess this morning. Should be told, how many of those are the last 100 days,

2383
03:28:46,180 --> 03:28:51,060
I can stand here and say I do not believe this administration will see a difference between welcoming

2384
03:28:51,060 --> 03:28:55,740
and sanctuary. So if there's a target where if there's going to be a target on our city

2385
03:28:55,740 --> 03:29:00,580
or something, I'd say it is already there, and it's going to be there. So we got to

2386
03:29:00,580 --> 03:29:05,080
look for more sanctuary. If it wraps up the deck and it wraps up the deck, and it wraps up

2387
03:29:05,080 --> 03:29:09,480
the deck. I'm going to put it on my favorite news from the morning, these crack, crack, crack.

2388
03:29:10,000 --> 03:29:14,620
The night of that, in case you want to win it. Now we just hit the majority of the

2389
03:29:14,620 --> 03:29:18,800
out-gen history, as a council, I go over the cloud and encourage you to move forward

2390
03:29:18,800 --> 03:29:21,240
throughout the year for five in his administration.

2391
03:29:22,140 --> 03:29:22,680
And you just have to understand that,

2392
03:29:22,800 --> 03:29:24,080
I mean, it's a little difficult for you

2393
03:29:24,080 --> 03:29:27,140
to judge and see the office of the cousin at the United States.

2394
03:29:27,300 --> 03:29:28,940
For whatever reasons you might have,

2395
03:29:29,240 --> 03:29:30,580
but they'll be found in groups.

2396
03:29:31,060 --> 03:29:33,940
And understand the fear of insights, questions about public safety,

2397
03:29:35,200 --> 03:29:37,840
questions about everything you need to take care of the city's debt.

2398
03:29:38,420 --> 03:29:42,100
Which apparently won't be resolved within my lifetime.

2399
03:29:42,800 --> 03:29:44,540
Job and school programs for industry.

2400
03:29:44,780 --> 03:29:46,940
We'll understand the city that fear.

2401
03:29:46,940 --> 03:29:53,060
That's it, you chose not the absence of fear, it is just the decision that there is something greater than fear

2402
03:29:53,060 --> 03:29:57,960
And I stand here today because I never decision that this thing in the people who cry the same thing

2403
03:30:00,020 --> 03:30:08,940
So act with courage and again to hear this city, we're out behind you with a great respect with each step for you taking become a welcoming city. Thank you.

2404
03:30:09,000 --> 03:30:16,680
Thank you very much. And our very last speaker on this item, my promise, was said by Regus.

2405
03:30:18,860 --> 03:30:27,040
Good afternoon Mayor council. Thank you so much for taking the time. So we can express our concerns and opinions on this matter.

2406
03:30:28,040 --> 03:30:34,720
I said before each day, I represented SDRP, the Sending Organizing Project, we are a faith-based

2407
03:30:35,740 --> 03:30:41,620
non-demonation and very inclusive non-profit organization of rapid county.

2408
03:30:42,500 --> 03:30:46,420
And it's an honor to privilege to organize the churches with people of faith.

2409
03:30:47,280 --> 03:30:55,160
And as such, we are after reminded to look back on our faith and make decisions that affect everyday people, such as this one.

2410
03:30:55,160 --> 03:31:01,220
I think tells us that in a week or a verse, Matthew 232, it says,

2411
03:31:01,400 --> 03:31:05,240
when they had gone an angel of the Lord up here to Joseph in a dream,

2412
03:31:05,560 --> 03:31:09,780
get up, he said, take the child, there is another and a state to eat it.

2413
03:31:10,440 --> 03:31:17,780
Stay there until I tell you, the Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.

2414
03:31:18,860 --> 03:31:23,480
Where we be reminded that Jesus Christ herself, I learned, was a refugee.

2415
03:31:24,000 --> 03:31:30,480
Somebody who was escaping his homeland in order to find refuge and guided by God himself,

2416
03:31:30,960 --> 03:31:35,660
an angel appeared to Joseph, asking him to move quickly for safety.

2417
03:31:36,720 --> 03:31:39,800
Many of us that are immigrants, this is our story.

2418
03:31:40,240 --> 03:31:41,040
This is our life.

2419
03:31:41,900 --> 03:31:44,560
I may suffocate to this country when I was three years old,

2420
03:31:44,980 --> 03:31:50,400
back here by my parents, my two younger brothers and myself were undocumented until recently.

2421
03:31:50,400 --> 03:31:55,040
I was a high school student, undocumented, and not sure whether I was going to go to school.

2422
03:31:55,820 --> 03:32:00,020
Because at that time, undocumented students were not able to pay for full tuition.

2423
03:32:01,000 --> 03:32:04,620
Like to all the brothers, eventually got their paper were done,

2424
03:32:05,140 --> 03:32:06,820
and a future being members to go to society.

2425
03:32:07,320 --> 03:32:10,620
Both of which have their homes, both of which pay their taxes,

2426
03:32:11,000 --> 03:32:12,980
have their children, children for each other.

2427
03:32:13,200 --> 03:32:16,300
Attendees and your state university as I did.

2428
03:32:16,940 --> 03:32:22,620
So, I was standing here to tell you that these stories are very common.

2429
03:32:23,120 --> 03:32:27,920
And it was completely much to this society and half throughout the course of its history.

2430
03:32:28,680 --> 03:32:34,460
And so, we agree, especially those of you who play yourselves, people of faith.

2431
03:32:35,020 --> 03:32:38,260
So, we really pray and reflect upon the decision you're about to make.

2432
03:32:38,560 --> 03:32:38,980
Thank you so much.

2433
03:32:39,760 --> 03:32:40,840
Thank you so much.

2434
03:32:41,320 --> 03:32:43,060
That was our very last speaker.

2435
03:32:46,180 --> 03:32:54,300
And again, this resolution was brought forward with the unanimous vote of the City Council.

2436
03:32:54,780 --> 03:33:01,040
The recommendations for this seven point resolution were brought forward on a 50 vote.

2437
03:33:02,380 --> 03:33:05,260
And today, you know, it's been a really moving day.

2438
03:33:05,760 --> 03:33:11,240
We recognize our three Holocaust survivors that live in this city of Chilivista.

2439
03:33:11,240 --> 03:33:21,820
We heard from the Mr. Salzman, the story of his father in the persecution that he endured.

2440
03:33:22,420 --> 03:33:30,200
He mentioned also briefly the story of the St. Louis ship, which sailed from Germany in 1939.

2441
03:33:30,200 --> 03:33:39,580
tried to set sail or set foot in Cuba, was rejected, then made their way to Florida, where

2442
03:33:39,580 --> 03:33:49,840
they were there, but was also rejected there, because at the time America, like today,

2443
03:33:50,260 --> 03:33:57,820
was under this cloud where there was a nationalist kind of isolation, is kind of feeling,

2444
03:33:57,820 --> 03:34:03,860
a lot of that had to do with getting out of the depression when there were many people out of

2445
03:34:03,860 --> 03:34:11,120
work and so at that time during that history there were actually thousands of legally born

2446
03:34:11,120 --> 03:34:19,540
American citizens who happened to be of Mexican descent that were deported to Mexico even though

2447
03:34:19,540 --> 03:34:22,080
they were born here. And so,

2448
03:34:24,860 --> 03:34:28,740
I think that, you know, the city of Chulvista has to make

2449
03:34:28,740 --> 03:34:35,380
a stand. You know, we can't make the mistakes of the past. Our nation was founded on religious

2450
03:34:35,380 --> 03:34:41,080
and political refugees, refugees, to create the first democratic republic. And we must

2451
03:34:41,080 --> 03:34:46,780
remember that. And we must not turn our back to those who come to us to escape the horse

2452
03:34:46,780 --> 03:34:54,000
war. My own family came here to escape the horse of war. They came here at the turn of the

2453
03:34:54,000 --> 03:35:02,420
century and just like the last speaker that we heard, our family advanced because we worked

2454
03:35:02,420 --> 03:35:09,720
hard as many immigrant families do and provide so many benefits to these United States. And

2455
03:35:09,720 --> 03:35:15,980
they're the workforce of the United States. And so, you know, a lot of this is driven by fear,

2456
03:35:15,980 --> 03:35:22,260
you know, fear of others, fear of immigrants that led to a lot of injustices.

2457
03:35:24,400 --> 03:35:29,220
So, it's a fear of immigrants is the reason that I strongly feel that the action

2458
03:35:29,220 --> 03:35:34,600
to date, that we take today, joining the welcoming American Network, and that framing

2459
03:35:34,600 --> 03:35:39,720
our current policies on immigration enforcement, sends a message that,

2460
03:35:39,720 --> 03:35:44,040
Service there will not turn you away if you are an immigrant or you are refugee.

2461
03:35:44,960 --> 03:35:51,180
That will acknowledge our moral responsibility to stand up for our newest neighbors in time

2462
03:35:51,180 --> 03:35:55,900
of skateboarding, fair and increased incidences of hate.

2463
03:35:56,700 --> 03:36:02,360
As stated on the American Welcoming American website, and I so moved that we approved this

2464
03:36:02,360 --> 03:36:03,000
resolution.

2465
03:36:05,180 --> 03:36:09,000
Seconded by Mr. Aguilar, Mr. D.S.

2466
03:36:15,010 --> 03:36:17,410
You know what, I'm going to go ahead and make a comment.

2467
03:36:18,150 --> 03:36:19,450
Okay, Mr. Padilla.

2468
03:36:21,900 --> 03:36:22,920
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

2469
03:36:23,520 --> 03:36:27,380
This for me again appreciate the patience of everyone who testified.

2470
03:36:27,640 --> 03:36:31,000
There's an eloquent testimony tonight.

2471
03:36:31,140 --> 03:36:33,260
And thank you for your patience and for your involvement.

2472
03:36:34,280 --> 03:36:37,660
I'm very proud to represent you in honor to do so.

2473
03:36:37,660 --> 03:36:41,600
and we have an amazing community for the most part we behave ourselves, even when it's

2474
03:36:41,600 --> 03:36:42,400
contentious.

2475
03:36:43,480 --> 03:36:49,660
So this was a wishing that a mayor, as I said last month, really to me is not just an

2476
03:36:49,660 --> 03:36:54,540
affirmation of a solid policy that we have had in place for quite some time, actually.

2477
03:36:55,240 --> 03:37:02,400
That basically says, look, our city government and our police department value all of

2478
03:37:02,400 --> 03:37:09,060
residents here, regardless of immigration status, it is not our world to enforce federal

2479
03:37:09,060 --> 03:37:15,460
immigration law. We are going to knowingly restrict the areas in which we cooperate

2480
03:37:15,460 --> 03:37:20,080
with that enforcement because that is not our role as a matter of fact there's

2481
03:37:20,080 --> 03:37:26,520
ample data and thank you again to one of our speakers that very clearly and

2482
03:37:26,520 --> 03:37:37,320
And overwhelmingly demonstrates that communities and cities that encourage diversity,

2483
03:37:37,980 --> 03:37:41,680
respect individuals, regardless of their status, are actually safer.

2484
03:37:42,720 --> 03:37:45,820
They promote better interaction between the community and the police department,

2485
03:37:46,620 --> 03:37:48,700
and all organs of local government.

2486
03:37:49,740 --> 03:37:53,520
And those are facts, as I said last month, not alternative facts.

2487
03:37:53,740 --> 03:37:55,140
They're real facts and data.

2488
03:37:55,880 --> 03:38:02,760
This resolution will not just restate a good policy but more importantly, restate our values as a community.

2489
03:38:03,720 --> 03:38:14,480
Who we are and where we are matters and how we describe ourselves matters when it comes to demonstrating to the broader community what our values are.

2490
03:38:14,480 --> 03:38:20,800
We are a proud community of immigrants, we are a proud diverse community.

2491
03:38:21,080 --> 03:38:25,260
We happen, oh, by the way, to be smack dab in the middle of the Binational Region,

2492
03:38:25,840 --> 03:38:30,180
an important region economically, socially and politically.

2493
03:38:31,580 --> 03:38:35,280
So this resolution isn't doing anything except restating who we are,

2494
03:38:36,020 --> 03:38:37,500
and what we desire to be.

2495
03:38:38,280 --> 03:38:41,000
And the fact that we are prepared to defend a good policy,

2496
03:38:41,000 --> 03:38:46,860
as I said before that I am not going to be prepared to go backwards on.

2497
03:38:47,880 --> 03:38:55,460
I would just reiterate that I appreciate the testimony that we are in an atmosphere of the school bully.

2498
03:38:56,140 --> 03:38:59,940
We have bullies at all levels now, internationally and internationally and regionally.

2499
03:39:01,400 --> 03:39:02,920
And there's only one way to deal with bullies.

2500
03:39:04,440 --> 03:39:08,900
And that is you stand up and you speak loudly about who you are and what you are.

2501
03:39:08,900 --> 03:39:16,700
and you stand your ground. We have the right policy we always have. It's one that reflects our values.

2502
03:39:16,820 --> 03:39:20,640
It's one that I will personally work to defend. Whatever it takes.

2503
03:39:22,100 --> 03:39:26,840
And so, Madam Mayor, I was proud at the last month's meeting that we actually got a five-wheel vote on this.

2504
03:39:27,060 --> 03:39:31,980
I'm hoping we'll have it again. I think it's absolutely the right thing to do and I'm proud to

2505
03:39:33,000 --> 03:39:34,300
Thank you Mr. Rikke.

2506
03:39:36,880 --> 03:39:37,500
Mr. Pat?

2507
03:39:37,700 --> 03:39:38,080
Mr. Pat?

2508
03:39:38,260 --> 03:39:38,400
Mr. Rikke's.

2509
03:39:38,760 --> 03:39:40,500
But you pushed your button first.

2510
03:39:41,000 --> 03:39:41,440
Oh, she did.

2511
03:39:41,680 --> 03:39:42,120
Oh, she did?

2512
03:39:42,360 --> 03:39:42,860
Okay, Pat.

2513
03:39:43,040 --> 03:39:43,820
I'm the Sivilak.

2514
03:39:43,920 --> 03:39:44,940
Sorry about that.

2515
03:39:45,140 --> 03:39:46,160
No, I also.

2516
03:39:49,430 --> 03:39:50,550
Thank you, Madame Mayor.

2517
03:39:51,530 --> 03:39:52,670
And Mr. Derby, you may.

2518
03:39:54,150 --> 03:40:00,990
First of all, I want to thank all of you who came out to speak tonight.

2519
03:40:00,990 --> 03:40:14,190
You know, I say this almost every week at these meetings, but I just can't get over what an incredible amazing city this is.

2520
03:40:15,190 --> 03:40:20,390
And I want to take all of you, whether you hear it support the resolution or an opposition of the resolution.

2521
03:40:20,770 --> 03:40:24,230
Thank you for coming out and expressing your points of view.

2522
03:40:24,230 --> 03:40:36,430
I also received lots of phone calls and emails on this too and I respect everyone who commented on it in either way.

2523
03:40:37,310 --> 03:40:44,470
I want to thank you, Madam Mayor, for bringing this 7-point resolution in front of us.

2524
03:40:44,470 --> 03:40:50,610
I think that, as Council member Padilla mentioned,

2525
03:40:52,870 --> 03:40:57,510
as community leaders in this binational

2526
03:40:57,510 --> 03:41:05,570
area, it's incumbent on us to take a position on this issue, because it's a critical

2527
03:41:05,570 --> 03:41:09,890
issue for members, for members of our community.

2528
03:41:11,490 --> 03:41:22,170
For me that there are two major issues in front of us, one of them is a moral issue.

2529
03:41:24,230 --> 03:41:36,210
I don't know what the first spoken words of homo sapiens were.

2530
03:41:36,210 --> 03:41:49,720
You know, but it was probably us guys in cave one are better than those guys over there in cave number two, you know.

2531
03:41:51,860 --> 03:42:05,680
In human history we have a history of defining certain people as the other, not quite human, not quite the same as the same as us.

2532
03:42:08,500 --> 03:42:18,240
The slaves, at one point, were in the constitution, or, I don't know, in some official document called...

2533
03:42:18,240 --> 03:42:21,600
was a furthus or the furthus of a person.

2534
03:42:23,240 --> 03:42:23,700
How was it?

2535
03:42:23,700 --> 03:42:24,340
I was three years.

2536
03:42:24,420 --> 03:42:25,300
Fear-fist.

2537
03:42:25,540 --> 03:42:29,100
It's a furthus of a person that we're really not nice humanUS, you know.

2538
03:42:29,580 --> 03:42:34,240
Because we're not human, we can sell the children of slaves.

2539
03:42:34,240 --> 03:42:43,180
We can separate families, we can separate mothers and fathers, you know, if it was just

2540
03:42:43,180 --> 03:42:44,280
more or more wrong.

2541
03:42:45,200 --> 03:42:56,060
We just gave a proper nation in response to the Holocaust victims, we're calling April 23rd

2542
03:42:56,060 --> 03:42:59,600
and 24th days of remembrance.

2543
03:42:59,600 --> 03:43:08,660
What we're remembering, it is what I remember, is that there was a time when people

2544
03:43:08,660 --> 03:43:12,460
have Jewish ancestry, we're not really considered human.

2545
03:43:12,880 --> 03:43:16,340
It's okay if we're round them all up and put them in concentration camps.

2546
03:43:17,300 --> 03:43:18,840
And some will pick up families.

2547
03:43:19,860 --> 03:43:22,580
The strong young man will send to the work camps.

2548
03:43:22,800 --> 03:43:24,740
The weak and the older that is able.

2549
03:43:25,260 --> 03:43:26,480
We'll just gas them.

2550
03:43:26,480 --> 03:43:33,180
The children, you know, will see, because they're not really us, they're other, they're different.

2551
03:43:35,580 --> 03:43:42,980
And now I see it going on around the realm again, you know,

2552
03:43:43,840 --> 03:43:51,480
people who happen to live on this side of a political, a political drawn line,

2553
03:43:53,640 --> 03:43:57,520
But those are good people, those are citizens, everyone here, they're cool.

2554
03:43:58,640 --> 03:44:05,660
But if you haven't had been born on the other side of a politically drawn line and you came

2555
03:44:05,660 --> 03:44:11,440
across that line, you're not really the same.

2556
03:44:11,660 --> 03:44:18,900
We can break up your families, we can support parents and keep the kids here and because you're

2557
03:44:18,900 --> 03:44:25,280
We, you're not really human, you're not really quite the same as us.

2558
03:44:25,800 --> 03:44:34,980
So it affends me and that's one of the reasons that I am supporting and was very pleased

2559
03:44:34,980 --> 03:44:38,200
to second the mayor's motion in support of this resolution.

2560
03:44:38,960 --> 03:44:47,560
The other reason is really just a practical reason of public safety.

2561
03:44:50,100 --> 03:44:54,160
The journalist is one of the safest cities of our size in the nation.

2562
03:44:55,580 --> 03:44:58,280
And one of the reasons we are such a safe.

2563
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:12,120
Besides the fact that we have an incredible set of men and women in our police department, it is the fact that we have very strong community policing policies.

2564
03:45:13,240 --> 03:45:21,060
We work really hard to build positive relationships with our community, and that keeps us safe.

2565
03:45:23,080 --> 03:45:37,540
If a person out there who, who, who, who, who, who, who this is a crime is the victim of a crime is afraid to call the police, because either gay or somebody in their household is, doesn't have the right paperwork.

2566
03:45:39,780 --> 03:45:47,520
That is going to affect our ability to keep children as a safe place to live, and, and that is not, not okay with me.

2567
03:45:47,520 --> 03:45:52,480
So, again, thank all of you for coming out tonight.

2568
03:45:53,660 --> 03:45:56,540
I, you know, I'm pleased to support this resolution,

2569
03:45:56,620 --> 03:46:01,540
and I do want to emphasize point number five in the resolution,

2570
03:46:02,280 --> 03:46:06,960
which is that it's critical to maintain our status as a safe city,

2571
03:46:07,780 --> 03:46:15,340
that we, this great policy, community policing policy that we have.

2572
03:46:16,300 --> 03:46:24,620
about what we do, about immigration violations, it's critical that we communicate that

2573
03:46:24,620 --> 03:46:30,980
policy to the immigrant community so that they don't have that fear of calling the

2574
03:46:30,980 --> 03:46:45,320
police when a crime has been committed. So I'm really looking forward, I think it was

2575
03:46:45,320 --> 03:46:47,840
to communicate that policy or becoming bad

2576
03:46:47,840 --> 03:46:50,680
to the council on those 16th, is that correct?

2577
03:46:51,180 --> 03:46:51,800
That's great.

2578
03:46:52,020 --> 03:46:53,420
I'll really be looking forward to that.

2579
03:46:53,740 --> 03:46:56,940
And because I think it's a critical next step.

2580
03:46:57,560 --> 03:46:58,380
So thank you so much, Madame.

2581
03:46:58,380 --> 03:46:59,300
Thank you so much.

2582
03:46:59,360 --> 03:47:01,040
And thank you for your beautiful comments.

2583
03:47:02,500 --> 03:47:02,940
Mr. McKinn.

2584
03:47:04,280 --> 03:47:05,060
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

2585
03:47:05,140 --> 03:47:07,960
I want to thank everybody here.

2586
03:47:08,420 --> 03:47:11,420
I've been to other council meetings in other cities.

2587
03:47:11,420 --> 03:47:19,620
And I think we are the best behave city by far, and I can do this now that I have the opportunity.

2588
03:47:20,020 --> 03:47:21,840
So give yourself a plant round of applause.

2589
03:47:27,310 --> 03:47:27,490
Okay.

2590
03:47:30,050 --> 03:47:32,210
Now no more, I'll get in trouble with the mayor.

2591
03:47:33,130 --> 03:47:35,690
But Gaseous Bordeaux de Roquille.

2592
03:47:37,990 --> 03:47:45,450
This resolution essentially affromes what the police have done in our policing policies has been.

2593
03:47:46,910 --> 03:47:55,130
We have a great police chief, we have a great police officer corps, I've been on several

2594
03:47:55,130 --> 03:48:02,010
right alongs and it's amazing what these individuals do to keep the peace and they

2595
03:48:02,010 --> 03:48:04,090
do in a tremendous great job.

2596
03:48:06,420 --> 03:48:12,160
When we've had this discussion before, we know again we are in a sage race city and I would

2597
03:48:12,160 --> 03:48:16,360
you that even the federal government wouldn't think we are a sanctuary city.

2598
03:48:17,560 --> 03:48:26,540
And if you do read the resolution here, it essentially says that the tool VISTA Police Department

2599
03:48:26,540 --> 03:48:33,520
does not, does participate in task force that include law enforcement agencies at the federal

2600
03:48:33,520 --> 03:48:41,860
level, such as drug trafficking, such as human trafficking, which is a major major issue,

2601
03:48:41,860 --> 03:48:49,620
And I think when you look at human trafficking, your immigrants are one of the most sought

2602
03:48:49,620 --> 03:48:51,580
after components of that.

2603
03:48:52,160 --> 03:48:57,640
And we need to, if you want to protect immigrants, we need to get rid of human trafficking.

2604
03:48:59,060 --> 03:49:10,780
It talks about the Organized Frick Crime, fugitive apprehension, weapons and currency violations.

2605
03:49:11,860 --> 03:49:28,680
So, again, we are making sure that we are keeping all our neighbors and all our citizens safe and we are not breaking any relationships with our federal law enforcement.

2606
03:49:29,320 --> 03:49:35,500
And it was interesting because after April 4th, I know everybody was very passionate on both sides.

2607
03:49:35,500 --> 03:50:00,820
But I had several individuals called me who work in the Border Patrol and worked in for the Federal Law Enforcement, and actually Patea may know some of them, and we grew up with them, and they live in our community, and they were very, very concerned because they felt that they were doing some very good things to protect citizens,

2608
03:50:03,200 --> 03:50:06,660
non-citizens, from human trafficking,

2609
03:50:07,200 --> 03:50:10,020
drugs might want you in other things like that.

2610
03:50:10,540 --> 03:50:15,860
So again, we need to make sure that we keep our relationships with federal law enforcement

2611
03:50:16,420 --> 03:50:20,620
to be able to decrease human trafficking and drug trafficking.

2612
03:50:21,880 --> 03:50:25,480
So with that, again, I want to thank everybody for being here.

2613
03:50:25,700 --> 03:50:33,040
I think we had a very, very good productive night tonight and if nobody else has, well, I think

2614
03:50:33,040 --> 03:50:33,720
Mike's going to speak.

2615
03:50:35,900 --> 03:50:37,420
Thank you.

2616
03:50:37,640 --> 03:50:39,680
I decided to say a couple of comments.

2617
03:50:40,020 --> 03:50:45,960
I'm not going to talk about why I believe, you know, my positions.

2618
03:50:46,140 --> 03:50:52,520
I think those were discussed in the eight or fourth meeting on both sides.

2619
03:50:53,360 --> 03:50:55,740
And we have a very diverse city council.

2620
03:50:57,360 --> 03:51:06,760
And I think Council Member Aguilar, beaming to the punch I wanted to make the motion to adopt this resolution.

2621
03:51:07,460 --> 03:51:13,700
But I think the important thing here today is that this is probably the most controversial issue that this council has been on.

2622
03:51:14,380 --> 03:51:17,080
And we all have our own opinions here, very, very diverse council.

2623
03:51:18,060 --> 03:51:23,700
And I think when I ran one of the things that I wanted to do in this council is being a consensus builder,

2624
03:51:23,700 --> 03:51:30,080
that doesn't happen with one person happens with a group of people. I'm not happy with the entire

2625
03:51:30,080 --> 03:51:38,840
the entire issues I said in the previous council meeting but but I think the reason I'm going to

2626
03:51:38,840 --> 03:51:52,480
go in a vote in the frame it is because I think and I did a lot of work in Sacramento and we

2627
03:51:52,480 --> 03:52:01,180
We really want to build a consensus building city council where we understand other different issues, but we're able to work together.

2628
03:52:02,020 --> 03:52:07,400
I'm sure that there's people on this council that would want to take it further one way in this council members.

2629
03:52:07,960 --> 03:52:17,480
I'm not to take it further the other way, but I think we're doing here is we're working together and I think the American people are tired of government being so divisive.

2630
03:52:17,480 --> 03:52:33,980
And so with that, I will vote for this resolution, knowing that there was a given take here and I think with the end of the day we have a really good resolution that I think addresses the concerns of everybody in the community.

2631
03:52:34,320 --> 03:52:34,800
Thank you, Mayor.

2632
03:52:35,480 --> 03:52:47,160
So you know once again, I have to state that I'm really proud of the people of Chilivista and their acceptance of their neighbors.

2633
03:52:47,160 --> 03:52:51,860
They're caring for their neighbors, and I'm really proud of this

2634
03:52:51,860 --> 03:52:55,380
Childish-to-City Council as well, really proud of them.

2635
03:52:55,980 --> 03:53:06,400
I think that we confronted this discussion with, I would say we had minimal opposition from the community,

2636
03:53:07,000 --> 03:53:16,380
because I think that there's a clear understanding of, you know, the need to embrace our neighbors

2637
03:53:16,380 --> 03:53:23,720
and to value them for what they are and not for what their scapegoated or demagogued

2638
03:53:23,720 --> 03:53:34,880
on top radio or some of the other media that six to paint our immigrant community as less

2639
03:53:34,880 --> 03:53:40,840
than less than honorable. So I'm just really proud of the City Council. I'm so happy that we're

2640
03:53:40,840 --> 03:53:45,320
to be able to take this vote. And it sounds like it's going to be any unanimous vote.

2641
03:53:46,380 --> 03:53:51,380
And our city attorney has one last comment before we take the vote. Yes, thank you, Madam Mayor.

2642
03:53:51,540 --> 03:53:56,860
And I apologize. I didn't mean to have the last comment. I intended to have this as part of my

2643
03:53:56,860 --> 03:54:04,040
presentation. As we described to you in our presentation back on April 4th,

2644
03:54:05,220 --> 03:54:10,540
it was my belief in my office as belief that the city's current policy is complied with federal and

2645
03:54:10,540 --> 03:54:16,580
law. And I just wanted to make clear for the record that this has an affirmation of our

2646
03:54:16,580 --> 03:54:21,400
current policies. There's no statement or a policy in this resolution that's intended

2647
03:54:21,400 --> 03:54:26,340
to cause us to be a violation of federal or state law. And as we go about implementing

2648
03:54:26,340 --> 03:54:31,300
this resolution, my advice would be that we remain in compliance with federal and state

2649
03:54:31,300 --> 03:54:36,460
law. For some point, we get out of compliance with that. I'll be back to advise you and we'll

2650
03:54:36,460 --> 03:54:42,560
proceed accordingly. Thank you Madam Mayor. Okay, thank you very much. With that we have a

2651
03:54:42,560 --> 03:54:48,460
I made the motion to accept the resolution. It was seconded by Council Member. I get

2652
03:54:48,460 --> 03:54:50,380
Madam Clerk, would you please read the heading.

2653
03:54:51,360 --> 03:54:55,760
Madam Mayor's resolution of the City Council of Heming City policies regarding immigration

2654
03:54:55,760 --> 03:55:01,080
enforcement, approving a program for better communication of city policies and services

2655
03:55:01,080 --> 03:55:06,860
to the city's immigrant community, joining the welcoming American network and directing staff

2656
03:55:06,860 --> 03:55:12,460
to track and provide the city council with opportunities to actively support or pose

2657
03:55:12,460 --> 03:55:17,940
laws to advance city interests and policies on immigration enforcement.

2658
03:55:18,920 --> 03:55:20,120
Please vote.

2659
03:55:25,540 --> 03:55:26,480
Resolution passes.

2660
03:55:26,780 --> 03:55:27,920
Now you can vote.

2661
03:55:31,860 --> 03:55:33,020
Thank you very much.

2662
03:55:34,560 --> 03:55:34,600
Thank

2663
03:55:36,720 --> 03:55:37,680
you.

2664
03:55:38,100 --> 03:55:38,700
Thank you so much.

2665
03:55:40,680 --> 03:55:41,120
Thank you.

2666
03:55:43,820 --> 03:55:46,720
Okay, so we still have a few items.

2667
03:55:47,520 --> 03:55:48,700
I hope they're quick.

2668
03:55:49,880 --> 03:55:55,840
We have the city managers report on the status of the agreement between the city of

2669
03:55:55,840 --> 03:56:04,440
district. Thank you Madam Mayor, at your last meeting, you brought up the wanting to have a report

2670
03:56:04,440 --> 03:56:10,920
on the status of a group of agreements between Otai Water District and the city. Back in 1995,

2671
03:56:11,380 --> 03:56:19,800
the city entered into a water service agreement with the Otai Water District for 20 year period.

2672
03:56:21,180 --> 03:56:27,760
for a 20 year period and that was requested by the water district because they were putting

2673
03:56:27,760 --> 03:56:33,200
in a tremendous amount of capital investment into the water storage system and they wanted

2674
03:56:33,200 --> 03:56:38,320
to be sure that they would be able to recoup the costs of those capital investments.

2675
03:56:38,900 --> 03:56:41,220
That agreement expired in 2015.

2676
03:56:41,520 --> 03:56:48,880
We no longer have an agreement with OOTI Water District for water service provision and frankly

2677
03:56:48,880 --> 03:56:54,080
I think it's staff's position that we don't need to have an extension of an agreement

2678
03:56:54,080 --> 03:56:56,260
or just staying with a status quo.

2679
03:56:56,320 --> 03:56:57,680
Okay, thank you very much.

2680
03:56:57,900 --> 03:57:04,380
Were there any questions about the report or the agreement that has now expired?

2681
03:57:05,360 --> 03:57:10,180
Okay, and I don't think that it's necessary that we delve into it any longer.

2682
03:57:10,820 --> 03:57:13,660
Thank you, and Madam Merit, just one other thing.

2683
03:57:13,660 --> 03:57:23,140
At your last meeting, you also had asked that we return to your first meeting in May with

2684
03:57:23,660 --> 03:57:27,160
a item on Senate Bill 54.

2685
03:57:27,880 --> 03:57:34,160
I would ask if we could have the consensus of Council to move that back to May 16 and we'd

2686
03:57:34,160 --> 03:57:39,420
bring both that discussion as well as the outreach program to you on that evening.

2687
03:57:40,060 --> 03:57:44,220
I'm in the agreement with that, do I see the consensus of the council to bring that back

2688
03:57:44,220 --> 03:57:46,220
on May 16th?

2689
03:57:46,280 --> 03:57:46,980
What do you think?

2690
03:57:47,640 --> 03:57:47,700
Yeah.

2691
03:57:48,620 --> 03:57:53,700
Okay, so do I need to take a vote on this, Mr. City Attorney, or is it consensus fine?

2692
03:57:53,880 --> 03:57:55,860
No matter what, I think consensus is fine.

2693
03:57:56,960 --> 03:57:57,260
All right.

2694
03:57:59,100 --> 03:58:04,560
So, with that, we'll go on to, let's see.

2695
03:58:04,560 --> 03:58:12,860
So last time we had a limit, I had to speak her on 10 or do you want to just forget it.

2696
03:58:13,320 --> 03:58:15,440
Okay, he doesn't want to speak on 10 anymore.

2697
03:58:16,280 --> 03:58:24,660
Okay, so, during the last meeting, I referred to staff the question whether or not we could take possible action regarding

2698
03:58:24,660 --> 03:58:30,640
Hector Gistellum of the Otai Water District, including consideration of potentially calling for

2699
03:58:30,640 --> 03:58:37,200
his resignation from the Otai Water District, and to formally request that the Board to remove

2700
03:58:37,200 --> 03:58:44,280
him as a representative of the city's successor agent to that redevelopment agency oversight board.

2701
03:58:45,000 --> 03:58:51,460
So now I understand that the Otai Water Board actually took action last week in censoring

2702
03:58:51,460 --> 03:58:56,700
Mr. Guestalum, and they notified the city that Mr. Guestalum was removed as a representative

2703
03:58:56,700 --> 03:59:03,740
of the Ota Water District, of the redevelopment agency oversight board, and so no action

2704
03:59:03,740 --> 03:59:07,340
needs to be taken on that portion of the request.

2705
03:59:08,300 --> 03:59:15,280
However, I do want to hear from staff on the request on the possible action to consider the

2706
03:59:15,280 --> 03:59:22,920
of the calling for Mr. Guestelms for resignation. Is there anything to say about that Mr.

2707
03:59:23,020 --> 03:59:23,440
City Attorney?

2708
03:59:24,380 --> 03:59:26,840
Yes, Madam Mayor. I'm sorry. I thought you were going on to item B.

2709
03:59:28,440 --> 03:59:33,300
The Ota Water District Board is an independent special district of the state of California.

2710
03:59:35,300 --> 03:59:39,100
Their members are elected by a vote of people within their districts.

2711
03:59:39,100 --> 03:59:49,540
And we found no direct authority of the City Council to order a removal of Mr. Guestalum.

2712
03:59:49,980 --> 03:59:56,300
It would certainly be within the City Council's prerogative if they wanted to adopt a resolution,

2713
03:59:56,880 --> 03:59:59,120
requesting that of Mr. Guestalum.

2714
04:00:00,300 --> 04:00:10,420
But it would have no legal way of authority given our relationship and their status as an independent special district.

2715
04:00:14,990 --> 04:00:20,570
Let's see. Okay. So, yes. Okay. We do have one speaker on the side.

2716
04:00:20,750 --> 04:00:24,170
And that was Mr. James Eliah. He's gone.

2717
04:00:25,640 --> 04:00:28,980
I didn't speak on the second part.

2718
04:00:29,140 --> 04:00:30,420
I don't know.

2719
04:00:30,820 --> 04:00:31,640
I don't know.

2720
04:00:32,860 --> 04:00:32,960
Yeah.

2721
04:00:32,960 --> 04:00:33,920
Just a few more speakers.

2722
04:00:35,100 --> 04:00:35,460
Okay.

2723
04:00:35,660 --> 04:00:36,300
What's happening now?

2724
04:00:39,500 --> 04:00:39,860
Yes.

2725
04:00:40,140 --> 04:00:40,280
Okay.

2726
04:00:40,480 --> 04:00:40,700
Sorry.

2727
04:00:41,160 --> 04:00:42,520
I do have a number of speakers.

2728
04:00:44,060 --> 04:00:47,000
So we've gone on for a really long time.

2729
04:00:47,340 --> 04:00:50,140
We heard testimony from a lot of people last week

2730
04:00:50,140 --> 04:00:51,960
in regards to Mr. Gaston.

2731
04:00:52,720 --> 04:00:55,800
And what I'm going to ask you to do is just make it quick.

2732
04:00:55,800 --> 04:01:02,200
There's no need to repeat everything that was said last week, okay. So with that, Mr. Mark Lane,

2733
04:01:06,080 --> 04:01:07,040
please make it brief.

2734
04:01:14,140 --> 04:01:18,360
First of all, I wanted to thank Mr. McKin. First statement last time.

2735
04:01:19,260 --> 04:01:23,920
And for the conversation we had afterwards, I appreciate it, you words, and any of your sentiments.

2736
04:01:25,260 --> 04:01:30,800
I had some other things to say, but yesterday I had a lift ride home, and it turned into a very packed,

2737
04:01:30,800 --> 04:01:37,540
refried and I met a Facebook post about it. I think it very well demonstrates what hateful

2738
04:01:37,540 --> 04:01:42,680
rhetoric and hateful words from elected officials do, so I want to read that post to you guys.

2739
04:01:45,600 --> 04:01:50,460
I took a lift home that tonight. The driver's name was Bader. I asked him where he was

2740
04:01:50,460 --> 04:01:55,620
front, and he said, Lebanon. He then said, you want to know if I'm Muslim or so? I said,

2741
04:01:55,680 --> 04:02:00,480
no, why would I want to know that? He said, everyone asked me that. The right I just

2742
04:02:00,480 --> 04:02:05,540
was an old white man, I picked him up in La Jolla, he asked me where I was from, and then he asked

2743
04:02:05,540 --> 04:02:10,640
to follow his Muslim. When I said yes, he started cursing me, calling me so many names, the

2744
04:02:10,640 --> 04:02:17,400
effort, the whole right, consulting me and consulting me as long my family, he made me cry. I

2745
04:02:17,400 --> 04:02:21,700
thought you must hate this long, too, and you asked me that. I asked him, why didn't you just

2746
04:02:21,700 --> 04:02:26,720
kick him out of the car? He said, because that would have made him right, I apologize to

2747
04:02:27,160 --> 04:02:32,140
and thinking for his business, that is his own. I wanted him to have a positive experience

2748
04:02:32,140 --> 04:02:37,680
with a Muslim. I was blown away, his eyes were rottering while he was talking to me. I

2749
04:02:37,680 --> 04:02:42,360
apologize to him for that man's behavior. I told him how impressive his behavior, his attitude

2750
04:02:42,360 --> 04:02:47,400
were because I would have just tossed him out. We talked about a lot of things. When I got

2751
04:02:47,400 --> 04:02:52,040
out of the car, he shook my hand and said, thank you for not hating me. I told him he

2752
04:02:52,040 --> 04:02:57,840
on hateable. His parents are both doctors. He's working on his master's in economics and

2753
04:02:57,840 --> 04:03:02,100
working on his ammunition. And already he has management job at the Abel Dweyer World

2754
04:03:02,100 --> 04:03:08,980
Company. Yet he humbled himself before that racist bigot. The damage of our president

2755
04:03:08,980 --> 04:03:14,180
and his followers are doing to the people is horrible. What an impressive young man. If

2756
04:03:14,180 --> 04:03:19,900
you ever get this lift driver hooking up. I think that very, very well demonstrates what

2757
04:03:19,900 --> 04:03:26,500
for rhetoric coming from elected officials can do. And just one more quick thing, I see that

2758
04:03:26,500 --> 04:03:34,010
Hector is here. Hector is an opportunity to take some personal accountability,

2759
04:03:35,710 --> 04:03:41,270
personal responsibility. Stand up, man, the mayor, and apologize for the rules, because

2760
04:03:41,270 --> 04:03:45,210
you haven't done that yet. And that's what's got to sort of get. Your apologies are not

2761
04:03:45,210 --> 04:03:48,840
for real. Please address the council.

2762
04:03:51,190 --> 04:03:53,610
I will move from the stand up right now, then resign

2763
04:03:53,610 --> 04:03:56,730
position and take accountability for his hateful words.

2764
04:03:59,860 --> 04:04:00,480
Vecat Taylor?

2765
04:04:02,920 --> 04:04:03,480
Vecat Taylor?

2766
04:04:04,560 --> 04:04:06,520
She's in support of it.

2767
04:04:06,840 --> 04:04:07,440
Oh, okay.

2768
04:04:08,380 --> 04:04:12,610
So Edgar Hoppeda.

2769
04:04:17,590 --> 04:04:19,470
Not in there, city council.

2770
04:04:20,090 --> 04:04:21,110
My name's Edgar Hoppeda.

2771
04:04:21,570 --> 04:04:24,570
I've been a resident of San Diego County for the 27 years.

2772
04:04:24,750 --> 04:04:26,630
It's my first year in Chela Vista.

2773
04:04:27,070 --> 04:04:30,250
I'm actually a city council member in the county district.

2774
04:04:30,250 --> 04:04:33,810
I mean, I was in the election, so I don't know if I'd go through that.

2775
04:04:35,850 --> 04:04:39,150
But I just moved from a little bit of a mess.

2776
04:04:39,370 --> 04:04:44,950
So I moved here because of the diversity and the respect of this community.

2777
04:04:45,330 --> 04:04:47,470
That's why I moved back to Charleston, that's San Diego.

2778
04:04:48,930 --> 04:04:50,810
I'm the son of the military.

2779
04:04:52,110 --> 04:04:54,930
So even families from the military have sacrifices.

2780
04:04:54,930 --> 04:05:05,730
So my dad sacrificed 3, 7 years in his life to defend this country, to defend the Constitution, and my mom served in the federal government for about 25 years.

2781
04:05:06,370 --> 04:05:09,630
So we sacrificed 7 years in this country.

2782
04:05:10,510 --> 04:05:18,870
Now, I'm American Muslim, I'm happy to be Filipino, and I was at the Altaian World Board meetings, both of them.

2783
04:05:19,110 --> 04:05:22,250
I was there at the city council meeting when things were going off.

2784
04:05:22,250 --> 04:05:29,110
But what I could say is this is that we've been having a discussion with all of the people from the Holocaust.

2785
04:05:30,330 --> 04:05:39,350
Also, I went to an activity yesterday, collaborating with the 100 second anniversary of the genocide of the Arabians.

2786
04:05:40,650 --> 04:05:45,270
So all of this happened because people are being humanized.

2787
04:05:45,270 --> 04:05:50,610
Well, whoever the late deal with Holocaust Studies wrote a massive book on the Holocaust said,

2788
04:05:50,770 --> 04:05:56,050
well, the first step that the Nazi Germans did was call them in heat called the Jews in

2789
04:05:56,050 --> 04:06:02,010
healing and other, and then they started passing the laws, then after passing the laws, they started

2790
04:06:02,010 --> 04:06:04,210
killing and exterminating them.

2791
04:06:04,930 --> 04:06:13,130
Now, I was there at both meetings, Hector, Gistella, did not apologize, in fact he went back

2792
04:06:13,130 --> 04:06:19,310
the audience and said, I want she to condemn what extremists do, thinking that we support

2793
04:06:19,310 --> 04:06:24,870
what extremists do. I have a five-year-old that's in the Cholester School of

2794
04:06:24,870 --> 04:06:31,990
District, she's in a Spanish-Motion Program, she's Filipino, but she now speaks English and

2795
04:06:31,990 --> 04:06:43,110
Spanish at the first grade level, and she's in grade K. And she's a female, and she's a Filipino

2796
04:06:43,110 --> 04:06:47,950
a large district, think sure in human. And he says, oh, no, I'm not just

2797
04:06:47,950 --> 04:06:51,330
condemning the extremists. There's no qualified remarks, and you could

2798
04:06:51,330 --> 04:06:57,090
look at all his posts before he value me. You can look at all his posts that

2799
04:06:57,090 --> 04:07:01,570
show that he attacked misrails in general. He attacked women. He said,

2800
04:07:01,670 --> 04:07:04,970
women should belong in the kitchen where women marched for their rights.

2801
04:07:05,250 --> 04:07:10,090
He attacked immigrants. Now, I know from the city attorney said nothing could be

2802
04:07:10,090 --> 04:07:15,650
legally to get him off, but at least you could do this symbolic thing. A symbolic thing

2803
04:07:15,650 --> 04:07:21,090
that you've been doing all this time. I spent all those three hours here at this meeting

2804
04:07:21,090 --> 04:07:30,690
just for this point. That you can support his resignation. Say, Hector, we can't legally

2805
04:07:30,690 --> 04:07:36,210
get you out of office, but loose as a city council, we're standing up to bigotry, we're standing

2806
04:07:36,210 --> 04:07:43,150
up against hatred because they want to be called an other inhuman and I'm ready for

2807
04:07:43,150 --> 04:07:44,070
Hector to apologize.

2808
04:07:44,350 --> 04:07:48,710
I have a general book on Islamophobia and he said, you know it, I have tell a little

2809
04:07:48,710 --> 04:07:49,290
books to read.

2810
04:07:49,390 --> 04:07:50,270
I can't read this right now.

2811
04:07:50,450 --> 04:07:50,890
Well, you know it?

2812
04:07:50,910 --> 04:07:51,930
All this pressure on your Hector.

2813
04:07:52,170 --> 04:07:53,790
You should read this book on the copy of the list.

2814
04:07:55,090 --> 04:08:00,590
So I urge a lot of you, especially my council member, council member McCann, who's in my district,

2815
04:08:01,170 --> 04:08:02,490
because elections are coming up.

2816
04:08:02,910 --> 04:08:04,830
And I don't know when, but I'm going to come to that.

2817
04:08:04,830 --> 04:08:12,370
But I'm urging the city council to vote in the past to introduce a resolution calling for the

2818
04:08:12,370 --> 04:08:14,390
resignation of Hector Gostellan.

2819
04:08:14,590 --> 04:08:21,830
And I also want to thank quickly thank Oltai Waterboard District Mitchell Thompson, who stood up

2820
04:08:21,830 --> 04:08:27,630
for leadership on the Oltai Waterboard, he's my representative on the board and said we're

2821
04:08:27,630 --> 04:08:30,550
standing up against this and he led the charge to censure him.

2822
04:08:30,690 --> 04:08:31,310
Thank you.

2823
04:08:31,710 --> 04:08:32,470
Thank you.

2824
04:08:33,070 --> 04:08:37,650
James, Alaya, please make your comments brief everyone.

2825
04:08:40,320 --> 04:08:43,260
You've been casting members, Madam Meer. You guys are looking well.

2826
04:08:44,120 --> 04:08:49,620
I think we all know I've been here several times and I've already expressed how

2827
04:08:49,620 --> 04:08:54,160
I feel about Hector and what he said, luckily, I've been able to express it to Hector

2828
04:08:54,160 --> 04:08:56,220
at the Little Ty Water Board as well.

2829
04:08:56,560 --> 04:09:01,720
And I got admit I've got so caught up in this that I myself had taken the focus

2830
04:09:01,720 --> 04:09:10,420
off the people who really was insulted, and it has never my intention to hurt anybody.

2831
04:09:10,880 --> 04:09:15,740
That was the sorry excuse of an apology that was supposed to be given after calling Muslims

2832
04:09:15,740 --> 04:09:19,260
like, after the long ago, sub-even scum and animals.

2833
04:09:20,740 --> 04:09:25,860
So rather dive back into that, I think I'd rather just use my time to apologize other groups

2834
04:09:25,860 --> 04:09:31,500
that he's talked to since he refuses to, to the women who marched at the women's march

2835
04:09:31,500 --> 04:09:37,120
when he was posting means saying, well, if you're marching today, you didn't have double

2836
04:09:37,120 --> 04:09:42,320
choice tomorrow, I apologize. Please don't let that be a reflection of our elected officials.

2837
04:09:44,400 --> 04:09:48,900
To the Muslims in the community that felt like they were called sub-human scum,

2838
04:09:49,960 --> 04:09:55,620
and that they were animals, I greatly apologize. Please don't let that be a reflection of our

2839
04:09:55,620 --> 04:09:56,340
officials.

2840
04:09:58,060 --> 04:10:04,800
To the LGBTQ community who felt insulted when he posted, when Chelsea Manning was pardoned

2841
04:10:04,800 --> 04:10:08,700
that the only reason why Chelsea Manning was pardoned was not because of service, was

2842
04:10:08,700 --> 04:10:13,320
because Chelsea Manning was a transgender service member, I apologize, please don't let

2843
04:10:13,320 --> 04:10:15,180
that be a reflection of our elected officials.

2844
04:10:16,540 --> 04:10:22,560
And finally, to the service members in uniform who fall under any category, that he has

2845
04:10:22,560 --> 04:10:29,900
and he hasn't salted before. I'm so sorry that he did that to you. Please don't let that be a reflection of our America

2846
04:10:31,040 --> 04:10:38,360
And what's funny was before we had the meeting today somebody told me that Hecta was on Twitter talking about how we were trying to bully him

2847
04:10:39,460 --> 04:10:43,860
So when we turn I want to say Hecta, it is never my intention to bully anybody

2848
04:10:47,060 --> 04:10:47,940
Thank you

2849
04:10:47,940 --> 04:10:50,080
Mohamed Abala

2850
04:10:53,650 --> 04:10:54,130
Abdullah.

2851
04:10:55,090 --> 04:10:55,550
Abdullah.

2852
04:10:56,510 --> 04:10:56,770
Good morning.

2853
04:10:57,230 --> 04:10:57,270
Hi.

2854
04:10:57,470 --> 04:10:57,830
Good evening.

2855
04:10:58,350 --> 04:10:59,330
Madam Mayor, Council Member.

2856
04:11:00,170 --> 04:11:01,270
Thank you for being along.

2857
04:11:01,970 --> 04:11:02,770
Thank you.

2858
04:11:02,870 --> 04:11:03,810
I'm humbled to be here.

2859
04:11:03,890 --> 04:11:05,390
I'm honored to be here.

2860
04:11:06,030 --> 04:11:08,670
The most of all I'm really happy to be here to speak.

2861
04:11:08,930 --> 04:11:12,490
I'm the after myself and the after the Muslim community in San Diego.

2862
04:11:12,630 --> 04:11:14,570
And as well as in the entire country.

2863
04:11:15,970 --> 04:11:19,130
And I'm really actually glad that Hector Dessalam is here because I wanted to

2864
04:11:19,130 --> 04:11:26,590
to confront him and address these issues with him face-to-face, but he seems to be in

2865
04:11:26,590 --> 04:11:27,150
that island.

2866
04:11:28,310 --> 04:11:32,430
But a son of phobia and discrimination towards the Muslims in this country have been

2867
04:11:32,430 --> 04:11:35,950
in the rise in the U.S. since 9-11, and that is a fact.

2868
04:11:36,390 --> 04:11:40,670
Many Muslims living in the U.S. have experienced racism and discrimination in various

2869
04:11:40,670 --> 04:11:43,990
forms due to the spread and manifestation of Islamophobia.

2870
04:11:44,910 --> 04:11:49,470
So, I will result of recent events that I've put us on a mission in the start of the

2871
04:11:49,470 --> 04:11:53,530
media that has been increasing fear towards Muslims and the Muslim community.

2872
04:11:54,230 --> 04:12:00,570
Often these fears are perpetuated by skewed media coverage and the type of rhetoric that

2873
04:12:00,570 --> 04:12:04,570
has been used by Trump and other racist Islamophobes like Hector Dostellum.

2874
04:12:05,190 --> 04:12:09,370
Although the US is not a country that engages in outward religious discrimination and

2875
04:12:09,370 --> 04:12:14,710
execution, it is still evident that the latest persecution occurs here in the U.S. towards

2876
04:12:14,710 --> 04:12:18,970
Muslims in the firm of the Stamphobia, Zemaphobia, and racism.

2877
04:12:21,110 --> 04:12:25,770
Trump and many other people have used their political platform to call in the band of

2878
04:12:25,770 --> 04:12:30,850
armed Muslims from entering this country. His political campaign platform has targeted Muslims

2879
04:12:30,850 --> 04:12:34,550
which has undoubtedly contributed to the rise of hate crimes in the Stamphobia within

2880
04:12:34,550 --> 04:12:35,190
this country.

2881
04:12:35,870 --> 04:12:40,970
I have seen tweets from Patrick, I am calling my community my Muslim brothers and sisters

2882
04:12:40,970 --> 04:12:42,490
subhuman scum.

2883
04:12:42,730 --> 04:12:47,690
We confronted and asked about that, he was simply exercising his freedom of speech.

2884
04:12:48,390 --> 04:12:52,330
However, he first realized that when exercising his freedom of speech, he needs to be

2885
04:12:52,330 --> 04:12:57,050
cognizant of the words that he is saying, the hate that he was speaking, and the people he

2886
04:12:57,050 --> 04:13:00,750
was offending and affecting, to be with his dignity in words.

2887
04:13:01,310 --> 04:13:06,810
because we're doing a speech for hateful, and he really should have a real place in a position

2888
04:13:06,810 --> 04:13:11,010
when we were at a board, or any other advisory board for the city of Tula Vista, or, honestly,

2889
04:13:11,070 --> 04:13:16,190
any other public office. He does not represent the people of his community. If he uses his platform

2890
04:13:16,190 --> 04:13:21,530
to call Mr. Motors and rapists, he does not belong in public office. Many Muslims in this country

2891
04:13:21,530 --> 04:13:26,770
are really encountering racism in this community, like I said. And I want to let you all know that we will not be complacent

2892
04:13:26,770 --> 04:13:32,270
and silent any longer. Hector may believe that his words can be justified by simply stating

2893
04:13:32,270 --> 04:13:36,050
that he's practicing his freedom of speech. We all have freedom of speech in this country,

2894
04:13:36,150 --> 04:13:40,350
and that's the great thing about this country. However, his speech is inflammatory, and it's hate,

2895
04:13:40,570 --> 04:13:46,030
it's hateful. And he is mistaken if he believes that he will verify my religion in my

2896
04:13:46,030 --> 04:13:50,690
community and get away with it. He's mistaken if he believes that he can insult and degrade

2897
04:13:50,690 --> 04:13:55,490
or any other communities of color and then we will sit back and allow that to happen.

2898
04:13:55,950 --> 04:14:01,290
As a community, we refuse to be defined by the misconception in the student beliefs that Hector has about our religion.

2899
04:14:02,530 --> 04:14:08,850
The rhetoric that is used by Hector makes Muslims makes me go out every single day and fear for my life.

2900
04:14:09,070 --> 04:14:10,150
We don't feel safe.

2901
04:14:11,010 --> 04:14:15,690
So, respected by the ancestors of the city council today, you had the opportunity to make a difference.

2902
04:14:15,690 --> 04:14:21,330
You have to understand when you're saying the issues that Muslim Americans experience is key to solving

2903
04:14:21,330 --> 04:14:27,610
these issues surrounding Islamophobia and addressing the hate rhetoric that is currently used to depict Muslims in the society.

2904
04:14:28,250 --> 04:14:36,050
Most importantly, you had the opportunity to show racist, like, and bigots like Hector, his words, and his hate speech have workplace in public office,

2905
04:14:36,610 --> 04:14:37,690
especially representing the people.

2906
04:14:38,370 --> 04:14:42,890
I am sure that you and I that go in many young kids living in our communities that need to be taught how to be tolerant,

2907
04:14:42,890 --> 04:14:48,570
how to roll them, how to respect others and each other, especially those who are different

2908
04:14:48,570 --> 04:14:49,670
than they are.

2909
04:14:50,210 --> 04:14:53,990
But by removing Hector from the advisory board and calling for his resignation, we're making

2910
04:14:53,990 --> 04:14:58,390
a difference and showing that showing the youth in our communities that you are true allies.

2911
04:14:58,390 --> 04:14:59,650
So we hope that you...

2912
04:15:00,000 --> 04:15:10,940
How would an active voters, activists, advocates, taxpayers, and protected members of this society, that we refuse to be bullied, shameed, and silence by people like Hector.

2913
04:15:11,700 --> 04:15:16,000
We are taking a stand and we will keep going into these easier removed or recalled.

2914
04:15:16,740 --> 04:15:17,140
Thank you.

2915
04:15:17,260 --> 04:15:17,800
Thank you.

2916
04:15:18,000 --> 04:15:19,440
Fias, no, no, lobby.

2917
04:15:32,610 --> 04:15:36,370
Hello, Madam Mayor City Council, my name is Fias, no lobby.

2918
04:15:36,450 --> 04:15:39,550
I'm going to make this really quick. I was spending a long day.

2919
04:15:39,550 --> 04:15:44,070
As a matter of fact, I had to give a lecture at 7 o'clock and I was able to, at SDSU.

2920
04:15:44,350 --> 04:15:49,970
So I drove to SDSU, gave my lecture, and drove back, and I was still making public comment on what I meant.

2921
04:15:50,450 --> 04:15:52,830
So it worked out just fine for me.

2922
04:15:53,330 --> 04:15:54,910
So I'm going to make this really quick.

2923
04:15:55,470 --> 04:16:00,690
I grew wholeheartedly with every single individual that spoke before me, especially at Grappita.

2924
04:16:01,210 --> 04:16:09,530
I just came from Sacramento yesterday, and yesterday was a commemoration of what happened to the

2925
04:16:09,530 --> 04:16:17,810
The other way, Edgar mentioned, in that, before concentration camps, and entering camps,

2926
04:16:18,370 --> 04:16:23,330
what happens to these minority groups is they are de-humanized.

2927
04:16:23,430 --> 04:16:29,250
Once you de-humanize someone, and they are seen as others, then policies will be created

2928
04:16:29,250 --> 04:16:33,610
to be able to push these people to the side and infringe on their civil rights.

2929
04:16:33,970 --> 04:16:35,210
That's all I want to say.

2930
04:16:35,210 --> 04:16:38,790
We talked about these tweets and other different things.

2931
04:16:38,950 --> 04:16:39,990
You already have that.

2932
04:16:40,370 --> 04:16:42,770
There's kinds of members that have tweets also.

2933
04:16:44,150 --> 04:16:50,110
Last week, when I read the last Otamesa Otamesa Otamesa, Otai Watterbird meeting happened,

2934
04:16:50,550 --> 04:16:55,370
I talked about a tweet that had to send out about the Women's March.

2935
04:16:56,030 --> 04:17:00,070
Their tourist would be doubled when they get back home about these feminists.

2936
04:17:00,070 --> 04:17:22,850
And I want to make sure that this is not just a Muslim issue, it's a women's issue, it's an issue of the LGBTQIA community and we want to make sure that we stand up against these things and I would really recommend the Board, the City Council to vote, to vote, to not censure him, but call for his resignation.

2937
04:17:22,850 --> 04:17:31,950
And also, the agenda item of human relations commission, I do work at the Islamic Senate

2938
04:17:31,950 --> 04:17:37,950
East Lake and the Imam there, so I would really like it that a Muslim would be on that human

2939
04:17:37,950 --> 04:17:43,230
relations commission to be able to give any advice on the Muslim community and be able

2940
04:17:43,230 --> 04:17:47,670
to acquire any misconceptions, misconceptions people have about Islam.

2941
04:17:47,670 --> 04:17:57,170
Thank you so much. Andrea Beth Damisky followed by Kathy Koppos Hardy and Margaret Baker and get up here quick so we don't delay.

2942
04:17:57,470 --> 04:18:05,390
Thank you. My name is Andrea Beth Damisky and I'm also calling for the removal of the resignation.

2943
04:18:05,390 --> 04:18:13,910
the kapot of Hector Guestella from the Utah Water Board. As a change person, as a

2944
04:18:13,910 --> 04:18:18,130
one in the as a gay person lacking in the world, with this kind of administration we

2945
04:18:18,130 --> 04:18:23,890
have and they increase in divisive and hateful rhetoric. I think like I am walking with

2946
04:18:23,890 --> 04:18:28,490
three targets on my back. I can't imagine how my Muslim brothers and sisters feel.

2947
04:18:33,110 --> 04:18:35,370
I can't

2948
04:18:35,370 --> 04:18:41,930
That hate is that it spreads like a wildfire, and in the ecosystem we live in, we know

2949
04:18:41,930 --> 04:18:46,330
that wildfires look like, you know, how quickly they spread, we know how vicious they

2950
04:18:46,330 --> 04:18:51,550
are, we know how consuming they are, we can't afford this in our community, it's an appropriate

2951
04:18:51,550 --> 04:18:58,590
to have an elected official or a community leader in a position and to be able to use this

2952
04:18:58,590 --> 04:19:02,510
position on authority to spread hate and lies about other people.

2953
04:19:02,510 --> 04:19:08,330
I don't want this person to be a well-model for community, for children, or to set the

2954
04:19:08,330 --> 04:19:13,250
tone for how things go in government in Southern California.

2955
04:19:14,490 --> 04:19:19,030
I don't live in this community per se, but Lemase is not that far away and wildfires

2956
04:19:19,030 --> 04:19:19,930
do spread quickly.

2957
04:19:20,490 --> 04:19:20,910
Thank you, Felice.

2958
04:19:20,910 --> 04:19:21,650
Thank you.

2959
04:19:21,790 --> 04:19:22,090
Kathy?

2960
04:19:26,780 --> 04:19:31,300
Thank you again for the opportunity to speak tonight, and I am Kathy Kappa's hearty, and

2961
04:19:31,300 --> 04:19:37,640
And here to ask for you to clap for the resignation of Hector Gastonland, from the O.T.

2962
04:19:37,700 --> 04:19:38,520
Water Board.

2963
04:19:39,540 --> 04:19:45,060
Hatespeach is very dangerous, and Hector Gastonland's use of hateful tweets that gets

2964
04:19:45,060 --> 04:19:50,400
Muslims is reprehensible, and certainly doesn't represent the values that our community

2965
04:19:50,400 --> 04:19:51,440
stands for.

2966
04:19:52,280 --> 04:19:57,440
As a student of history, it's a well-known fact that genocide is often accompanied by

2967
04:19:57,440 --> 04:19:59,080
widespread hate speech.

2968
04:19:59,080 --> 04:20:03,700
The Jews were called rats in German by the Nazis before the Holocaust.

2969
04:20:04,780 --> 04:20:09,820
Titsies were called cockroaches before the horrendous 1994 World War II genocide.

2970
04:20:10,960 --> 04:20:16,520
Hector Gastron has referred to Muslims as subhuman manstros, rapist and murderers.

2971
04:20:17,240 --> 04:20:22,500
Earlier this evening, you did great thing, and presented a proclamation in recognition

2972
04:20:22,500 --> 04:20:26,000
of this week in remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust.

2973
04:20:26,000 --> 04:20:33,620
This is certainly a historical event that all of us must remember and dedicate ourselves to never

2974
04:20:33,620 --> 04:20:35,560
allowing to happen again.

2975
04:20:36,700 --> 04:20:43,420
Science backs up the idea that speech can cause deeper wounds at both a societal and a personal

2976
04:20:43,420 --> 04:20:44,120
level.

2977
04:20:44,700 --> 04:20:49,340
It leads to a dehumanizing effect which lessons are empathy for others.

2978
04:20:49,340 --> 04:20:54,780
This is not the kind of community that residents of Chilivista envisioned for themselves.

2979
04:20:55,840 --> 04:21:01,580
As a 36 year teaching veteran, I taught my students about the Holocaust and took them

2980
04:21:01,580 --> 04:21:04,940
on many field trips in the museum of Thailand and Saint Los Angeles.

2981
04:21:05,760 --> 04:21:11,180
While teaching these units, I always discussed the poem by Nemoor, with them.

2982
04:21:11,300 --> 04:21:13,020
His poem dates a file name.

2983
04:21:14,280 --> 04:21:19,320
First, I came for the Socialist, and I did not speak out, because I was not a socialist.

2984
04:21:20,280 --> 04:21:27,120
Then they came for the trade unionist, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

2985
04:21:27,700 --> 04:21:32,160
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

2986
04:21:33,040 --> 04:21:37,340
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

2987
04:21:38,360 --> 04:21:43,540
As a community who need to speak for those being vilified by Hector Dastronman,

2988
04:21:43,540 --> 04:21:49,040
We do not need to be complicit in allowing this hatred towards a Muslim's to continue.

2989
04:21:49,960 --> 04:21:56,860
Please stand up for the community, you represent, and call for Hector Gaston as removal from the Ota Ratter board.

2990
04:21:57,280 --> 04:22:02,360
And we move him from the oversight board as well, which I just found out tonight, you know, longer as a part of.

2991
04:22:02,380 --> 04:22:03,360
So thank you for listening.

2992
04:22:03,780 --> 04:22:04,780
Thank you so much.

2993
04:22:04,780 --> 04:22:13,220
I'm just going to mention that what I had Patrick McFarland is staying here is called

2994
04:22:13,220 --> 04:22:19,760
support for the call for the recognition of Hector Guston but he does not wish to speak.

2995
04:22:20,880 --> 04:22:26,100
And so then Margaret Baker followed by Maggie Vincent and Marie Elaine.

2996
04:22:27,420 --> 04:22:33,320
Good evening, thank you again for this time, as I said before, my name is Leiber Baker, and I'm a

2997
04:22:33,320 --> 04:22:39,300
child of a star as a teacher's kid, who was brought up to value diversity and to appreciate

2998
04:22:39,300 --> 04:22:44,360
the importance of civic leadership. My father would have to, when he would have joined me

2999
04:22:44,360 --> 04:22:48,700
once a day, so that's why I had to come up. I would have just put in my sleep too, but I

3000
04:22:48,700 --> 04:22:56,540
had to speak for what I'd been raised to do. He, like I, wasn't a gifted speaker, but he taught

3001
04:22:56,540 --> 04:23:03,000
For example, it was a thoughtful and fair-minded minister and an active civic leader in the

3002
04:23:03,000 --> 04:23:08,700
communities of Shaftly, William Park, Los Angeles, and Carlos Bedcuffin.

3003
04:23:10,060 --> 04:23:15,040
In 1930, William Lincoln was still seminary, he traveled with hundreds of young adults representing

3004
04:23:15,040 --> 04:23:20,400
many faith traditions from all over the world to a peace conference in Amsterdam.

3005
04:23:21,120 --> 04:23:31,300
And was inspired by the people coming together for good at a time when hateful speech was moving people between dating and torches behavior.

3006
04:23:32,860 --> 04:23:40,100
It was only waking for him and he realized the importance of speaking out whenever he saw a bigotry and injustice in his community.

3007
04:23:41,100 --> 04:23:42,720
So I'm here tonight because of my father.

3008
04:23:42,720 --> 04:23:48,960
And I deeply concerned by heptricist studies, blatant racism, sexist, and Islamophobic statements.

3009
04:23:49,640 --> 04:23:55,800
His continued defiance was challenged by community members to apologize, and or resign, and devise,

3010
04:23:56,180 --> 04:23:59,300
public respect, confidence, trusting all of our public agencies.

3011
04:24:00,260 --> 04:24:02,080
He recently was quoted as saying,

3012
04:24:02,560 --> 04:24:07,540
I've always had a voice, and when people elected me, they gave me a megaphone.

3013
04:24:08,960 --> 04:24:15,420
In the last week, I attended the U.S. High-Watter District Board meeting when they passed an extraordinary resolution that the Board of Directors

3014
04:24:15,420 --> 04:24:23,320
claimed necessary to censure Mr. Giselle's public behavior as we work with the hands of the U.S., being tolerable.

3015
04:24:24,380 --> 04:24:30,560
Despite this unusual censure by guys who work with him was closely, hectic astounding,

3016
04:24:30,560 --> 04:24:35,320
As shown in the reading moves, we're even understanding of the hand class by his behaviors.

3017
04:24:36,200 --> 04:24:39,660
I think this continued presence in the public office intolerable.

3018
04:24:40,300 --> 04:24:46,000
And so, I urge our city council to take the strongest measures possible to remove Mr.

3019
04:24:46,100 --> 04:24:51,240
the Senate from all leadership rules to the recent official statement of St.

3020
04:24:51,300 --> 04:24:54,460
St. Timer to the three-page resolution passed by the O.T.

3021
04:24:54,460 --> 04:24:57,760
a Wall of District Board and call for his immediate resignation.

3022
04:24:58,660 --> 04:25:02,660
We need to take away his microphone to prevent his hate speech

3023
04:25:02,660 --> 04:25:05,380
and his feet or the text to justify his statements

3024
04:25:05,380 --> 04:25:07,460
from having any further public phone.

3025
04:25:08,820 --> 04:25:11,650
Furthermore, I call each council member to speak out clearly

3026
04:25:12,340 --> 04:25:15,600
in a statement to the media to explain the reasons

3027
04:25:15,600 --> 04:25:17,580
why you're taking these steps.

3028
04:25:17,920 --> 04:25:21,020
So there's no one for confusion.

3029
04:25:21,020 --> 04:25:24,740
There is no room in the staff building for hate speech.

3030
04:25:25,240 --> 04:25:28,100
I feel this matter should not be treated as business as usual.

3031
04:25:28,480 --> 04:25:32,380
It's not enough to simply record your votes in the minutes of the meeting.

3032
04:25:33,820 --> 04:25:40,980
Finally, I urge you as our civic leaders to take steps to address the root causes of bigotry and intolerance.

3033
04:25:40,980 --> 04:25:49,760
by holy assays of public forms and in your food and in service trainings for all city staff,

3034
04:25:50,280 --> 04:25:54,840
commissions, bread members to demonstrate a real commitment to the part of the city of Cholabistate,

3035
04:25:54,980 --> 04:25:59,600
to build greater understanding and skills to promote accessibility and respect.

3036
04:26:00,220 --> 04:26:02,540
Thank you very much, Maggie Vincent.

3037
04:26:06,110 --> 04:26:12,210
I'm going to ask people to praise, move up so that we're not wasting time with people walking up.

3038
04:26:12,210 --> 04:26:14,190
a rail line, get ready to speak,

3039
04:26:16,610 --> 04:26:18,750
and Maria, Maya funny.

3040
04:26:20,290 --> 04:26:23,590
Good evening, Chilivista Council and people.

3041
04:26:25,750 --> 04:26:36,920
I just want to say that I do not necessarily agree with the wording that Hector used.

3042
04:26:38,500 --> 04:26:42,720
I actually disagree with what he said and what he stated.

3043
04:26:42,720 --> 04:26:52,920
However, this is America, the same freedom of speech that all these people that spoke before me had to speak,

3044
04:26:53,460 --> 04:26:57,580
had to have the same freedom of speech, like it or not.

3045
04:26:58,880 --> 04:27:05,060
The reason that these people are here to begin with is because this is America and America is based on freedom.

3046
04:27:06,080 --> 04:27:08,880
We have freedoms that other countries do not have.

3047
04:27:11,160 --> 04:27:21,560
Again, I'll ask you guys a 30 council members and people that were put there by the people you're here for the people and by the people, right?

3048
04:27:22,280 --> 04:27:31,180
You were very living for a reason. Slowly but surely, Christians and other people are being silenced.

3049
04:27:31,180 --> 04:27:32,420
The

3050
04:27:35,780 --> 04:27:45,690
group care supports a terrorist organization, which is the Muslim brotherhood.

3051
04:27:46,210 --> 04:27:50,070
I do not hate Muslims at all.

3052
04:27:51,150 --> 04:27:59,110
They fear loving American people and they love and run a family to the last year and with it.

3053
04:27:59,110 --> 04:28:06,670
If they're trying to install their laws and their practices on Americans and against that,

3054
04:28:11,980 --> 04:28:18,800
then our college is here, Berkeley College, and Culture, which is a well-known speaker,

3055
04:28:19,400 --> 04:28:24,580
that's not allowed to speak. Twice they told her she could not speak.

3056
04:28:25,840 --> 04:28:32,880
Her rights to speak, she has the freedom of speech just like everyone else in this room.

3057
04:28:34,100 --> 04:28:42,100
yet she was not allowed to speak. In our colleges, this is what is being instigated by people

3058
04:28:42,100 --> 04:28:48,400
with our teachers and other people that are teaching our children and grandchildren. There

3059
04:28:48,400 --> 04:28:54,960
are this feeling, in their way, it's hatred. In their speaking against their own country and their

3060
04:28:54,960 --> 04:29:02,020
own values and what America was founded on. America was founded on Christian principles.

3061
04:29:03,620 --> 04:29:07,080
And it is a Christian America.

3062
04:29:08,600 --> 04:29:11,620
Our last administration would not admit that,

3063
04:29:12,360 --> 04:29:14,760
but that's what it was found it on.

3064
04:29:15,140 --> 04:29:17,280
We were found it on Christian principles.

3065
04:29:20,160 --> 04:29:21,280
Also, this is McDonald.

3066
04:29:21,740 --> 04:29:24,360
There's another one writer, speaker.

3067
04:29:25,100 --> 04:29:27,460
She was not allowed to speak at a different college.

3068
04:29:27,540 --> 04:29:31,320
I don't know which college that was, but it wasn't perfectly.

3069
04:29:31,320 --> 04:29:36,200
But she was also shouted down, not allowed to speak.

3070
04:29:37,140 --> 04:29:42,180
We'll now have the students of Berkeley that are the publicans that did want

3071
04:29:42,180 --> 04:29:46,540
and culture to speak, are now singing Berkeley College.

3072
04:29:48,120 --> 04:29:54,440
I would just urge people to wake up and realize what's taking place here.

3073
04:29:54,440 --> 04:29:58,600
Christians in Iraq and Iran in a little Eastern

3074
04:30:00,000 --> 04:30:09,880
And beheaded and killed for what they believe. I believe that it's totally wrong. We need a loved one another.

3075
04:30:10,000 --> 04:30:21,540
This is true. But the Christians over in those countries that are Christians trying to speak and have the freedom of being a Christian are not allowed to do so.

3076
04:30:21,540 --> 04:30:23,300
Why is that?

3077
04:30:23,300 --> 04:30:31,540
Why is that that there be in shadowdown that there be in beheaded that there be in killed for their beliefs?

3078
04:30:33,040 --> 04:30:41,180
I urge you, as Americans, to enforce your laws, yes, this is true, but think about your children and grandchildren

3079
04:30:41,180 --> 04:30:46,440
and what they're going to face with what you're allowing to take place in this city.

3080
04:30:46,440 --> 04:30:52,960
This city has been a wonderful city to me all the years that I've lived here and my parents

3081
04:30:52,960 --> 04:30:58,000
that came here in the 1930s as legal immigrants, okay?

3082
04:30:59,320 --> 04:31:05,540
But the chillivist of that stands here before you today, and I urge you to think about this,

3083
04:31:05,840 --> 04:31:10,880
is not going to be the same chillivist of tomorrow that it is today with what you're allowing

3084
04:31:10,880 --> 04:31:12,440
to take place here.

3085
04:31:12,760 --> 04:31:14,140
Thank you very much.

3086
04:31:14,140 --> 04:31:17,620
really lame, followed by Maria Fani,

3087
04:31:20,840 --> 04:31:21,560
Maya Fani.

3088
04:31:24,380 --> 04:31:25,620
Hi, hello everyone.

3089
04:31:26,260 --> 04:31:30,320
I'm just going to speak straight from the heart and let you know that,

3090
04:31:30,460 --> 04:31:33,080
but we're going to understand Jesus Christ said,

3091
04:31:33,460 --> 04:31:35,580
treat one another as you would want to be treated.

3092
04:31:37,460 --> 04:31:41,580
Jesus Christ is came from the God of Abraham.

3093
04:31:44,440 --> 04:31:48,580
Ishmael is Ishmael is from Mohanid.

3094
04:31:49,540 --> 04:31:54,280
Jesus, God Almighty Jehovah is not the same God as Allah.

3095
04:31:55,360 --> 04:31:57,680
Allah is the God of Micah.

3096
04:32:00,180 --> 04:32:06,320
Our God, our government was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs.

3097
04:32:07,600 --> 04:32:13,580
And the God, Allah, is not the God of the Bible that our country was found with

3098
04:32:13,580 --> 04:32:14,460
it on.

3099
04:32:14,700 --> 04:32:22,420
The Constitution of America was founded that every man and woman is equal, yes, we are all

3100
04:32:22,420 --> 04:32:22,820
equal.

3101
04:32:23,800 --> 04:32:31,280
But, sadly, there has never been peace in the Middle East because of the way they live

3102
04:32:31,280 --> 04:32:33,080
over there, the way they believe it.

3103
04:32:33,080 --> 04:32:41,280
And right now, I'm there to stop us under their law, you wouldn't be seeing that seat right now, because you are a woman.

3104
04:32:42,400 --> 04:32:46,820
Now, I know that all Muslims do not believe in this way. I understand that.

3105
04:32:46,880 --> 04:32:49,260
And I'm not saying that all Muslims believe in this way.

3106
04:32:50,700 --> 04:32:59,040
But our laws are being infiltrated, and I do believe that the trodden horse is here in the United States.

3107
04:32:59,040 --> 04:33:03,120
And they're going to use our own laws against us.

3108
04:33:03,720 --> 04:33:06,440
I am asking you, please.

3109
04:33:08,160 --> 04:33:12,140
As America as we know it, and we do want to keep America

3110
04:33:12,140 --> 04:33:16,620
a free country with freedom of religion, freedom of speech,

3111
04:33:17,400 --> 04:33:20,300
freedom for days, freedom for everybody.

3112
04:33:21,160 --> 04:33:23,220
Open up your eyes, get educated.

3113
04:33:24,400 --> 04:33:27,400
On what is the truth behind the song?

3114
04:33:28,600 --> 04:33:34,880
The Trojan horse is here in the United States and they are infiltrating every part of our government.

3115
04:33:35,860 --> 04:33:41,620
And if we don't wake up and smell the coffee, they are going to come in slowly, but surely.

3116
04:33:42,400 --> 04:33:47,880
How? Because for some reason, they are allowed to have more than one wives than we do.

3117
04:33:47,980 --> 04:33:51,500
I must say no, I must say no, I know you're going to be saying no.

3118
04:33:51,500 --> 04:34:08,340
I'm just saying that there are laws against a lot of stuff that get it happening here and there in a dear boy Michigan and you ask yourself, how is that possible that female genuine relationships happening to little girls?

3119
04:34:09,240 --> 04:34:13,920
Here in the United States, you get it up, look it up, I am not lying to you, it's happening.

3120
04:34:13,920 --> 04:34:20,620
Little slowly but surely it's sneaking in and if you don't think that it doesn't take

3121
04:34:20,620 --> 04:34:27,700
us to get up here and speak against that knowing that the Muslim brotherhood care is a

3122
04:34:27,700 --> 04:34:34,720
terrorist group and please open up your eyes and do not let the trodden horse come in and

3123
04:34:34,720 --> 04:34:41,860
get integrated into our government because I know not my children living underneath

3124
04:34:42,780 --> 04:34:44,740
Thank you very much.

3125
04:34:44,960 --> 04:34:45,760
Thank you.

3126
04:34:46,200 --> 04:34:46,620
Hold here.

3127
04:34:46,880 --> 04:34:47,340
Alex Stoke.

3128
04:34:56,500 --> 04:34:58,320
Just ignore it the Nazis said.

3129
04:34:58,740 --> 04:34:59,340
First half.

3130
04:34:59,800 --> 04:35:00,600
And calling OK.

3131
04:35:00,940 --> 04:35:03,580
So there's not many things that is expected.

3132
04:35:04,980 --> 04:35:05,840
And it's a classification.

3133
04:35:06,220 --> 04:35:07,480
We're actually aware of the believing.

3134
04:35:08,740 --> 04:35:09,500
And just a couple things.

3135
04:35:10,060 --> 04:35:11,580
I begin saying.

3136
04:35:12,000 --> 04:35:12,780
First off.

3137
04:35:12,880 --> 04:35:14,560
What they try to convince you to do right now.

3138
04:35:14,780 --> 04:35:17,300
They try to convince you that they're religion is superior.

3139
04:35:17,300 --> 04:35:26,340
But when we come up here, then I explain to you why they are saying that their regions better and

3140
04:35:26,340 --> 04:35:32,620
his Russian vote than any other group or Russian protect Muslims in general.

3141
04:35:32,860 --> 04:35:36,520
They are trying to expose you why they shouldn't be protected and understand what that means.

3142
04:35:37,180 --> 04:35:38,400
They don't want them to protect them.

3143
04:35:38,460 --> 04:35:40,080
They don't want them to have equal rights.

3144
04:35:40,760 --> 04:35:45,840
That's a fantasy, that's a fantasy, that's a fantasy, that's a fantasy, that's a fantasy, that's a fantasy, that's a fantasy,

3145
04:35:46,340 --> 04:35:52,400
I'm Catholic, and I understand the ways that this structure is categorized.

3146
04:35:52,600 --> 04:35:57,840
I understand the way I'm privileged, I understand, I can grow out, and I get attacked, and I don't have to wear that stuff.

3147
04:35:58,380 --> 04:36:06,320
They do, you know, and when they walk around, like, I have to grow around, and I have to make sure that my friends are safe.

3148
04:36:06,320 --> 04:36:10,760
They ask them to escort them to places, to class, to their car.

3149
04:36:11,400 --> 04:36:15,180
I shouldn't have to be doing that so to begin with, because people like them, they come around

3150
04:36:15,180 --> 04:36:20,200
and they tell you that they're bad people, they're feders, they don't belong in this country.

3151
04:36:20,900 --> 04:36:22,540
They have some conspiracy theory.

3152
04:36:23,000 --> 04:36:24,200
Like, let's look at facts.

3153
04:36:24,660 --> 04:36:28,840
Like, the real people who are at that here is United States.

3154
04:36:29,660 --> 04:36:32,940
And I said, you know, United States, I mean that it's not fair, but they say,

3155
04:36:32,940 --> 04:36:34,860
that guy is people live in the United States course

3156
04:36:34,860 --> 04:36:36,000
so the country is in the United States.

3157
04:36:36,500 --> 04:36:38,120
Then they're not written in his silver D.S.

3158
04:36:38,120 --> 04:36:38,880
He's in a piece.

3159
04:36:39,400 --> 04:36:41,460
Like, that's me very times he doesn't know where the people

3160
04:36:41,460 --> 04:36:41,540
are.

3161
04:36:41,820 --> 04:36:43,980
They keep millions of people in the Middle East.

3162
04:36:44,780 --> 04:36:46,200
Like, how do you justify that?

3163
04:36:46,200 --> 04:36:47,740
How do you justify the mass murder?

3164
04:36:48,060 --> 04:36:49,940
How do you say that the criminal will happen to us

3165
04:36:49,940 --> 04:36:52,040
as I was using this guy when you're still bombing it?

3166
04:36:52,240 --> 04:36:53,680
You're still bombing them.

3167
04:36:53,860 --> 04:36:54,800
Like, understand that.

3168
04:36:54,800 --> 04:36:56,860
They were saying we should kill them in a different way.

3169
04:36:57,420 --> 04:36:58,460
Like, are you kidding me?

3170
04:36:58,680 --> 04:37:00,040
Like, that's basically the right thing.

3171
04:37:00,260 --> 04:37:01,860
They're saying they should be different way,

3172
04:37:01,860 --> 04:37:06,780
a different method of murder. I'm saying like, there shouldn't be the case itself. And when it comes to

3173
04:37:06,780 --> 04:37:11,240
hectic, help these bescripts when this people that endorses their ideology and that they leave,

3174
04:37:11,620 --> 04:37:16,500
he did well when he made this coming themselves. And he not wants to be able to apologize. If you

3175
04:37:16,500 --> 04:37:21,080
like the work that his coming said, or at least what I said, he categorized our Muslims that have

3176
04:37:21,080 --> 04:37:27,320
said he didn't. He doesn't think that they have equal rights as everyone else. You know, you shouldn't

3177
04:37:27,320 --> 04:37:31,380
allow this person to stay in power. You should do everything you can to get him out of there. He doesn't

3178
04:37:31,380 --> 04:37:36,940
people. He doesn't present you. You shouldn't call him a brother.

3179
04:37:38,120 --> 04:37:47,800
Okay, thank you. Thank you very much. I called Myrafani several times as she here. Okay, thank you.

3180
04:37:54,260 --> 04:37:54,940
Thank

3181
04:37:58,590 --> 04:38:01,310
you, I'd like to actually just ask you a quick question.

3182
04:38:03,030 --> 04:38:05,750
I have someone very supposed to represent our community.

3183
04:38:06,910 --> 04:38:08,910
You can speak into the mic over here.

3184
04:38:10,190 --> 04:38:14,670
So, someone who is supposed to represent our community, you have neglected your position,

3185
04:38:15,170 --> 04:38:17,050
advocating for violence against Muslims.

3186
04:38:17,530 --> 04:38:20,210
This is not for the night and for Nazi ideology.

3187
04:38:20,210 --> 04:38:25,790
Journalizing of people based after the faith that they fall under it, you clearly do not understand

3188
04:38:25,790 --> 04:38:30,970
but it means to be human and therefore I'm fed to represent a community made of human

3189
04:38:30,970 --> 04:38:31,950
moral agents.

3190
04:38:32,310 --> 04:38:37,910
Living love, you have excluded yourself from the matter may be by failing to navigate

3191
04:38:37,910 --> 04:38:38,470
the matter.

3192
04:38:38,470 --> 04:38:48,570
We close that the citizens who elected you, asked if you were a relation called as a

3193
04:38:48,570 --> 04:38:48,950
brain.

3194
04:38:49,430 --> 04:38:56,550
This is a neurological statement because if you are supposed to represent our interests

3195
04:38:56,550 --> 04:39:02,490
and we wish our interests as your resolution, then I respectfully ask you to do your job

3196
04:39:02,490 --> 04:39:03,050
and design.

3197
04:39:03,310 --> 04:39:04,030
Thank you.

3198
04:39:04,030 --> 04:39:11,430
Thank you. Mr. Castellan followed by Wendy Patterson and a last speaker of Caesar Fernandez.

3199
04:39:13,350 --> 04:39:18,710
And the mayor, council, say attorney, staff, and citizens.

3200
04:39:24,350 --> 04:39:30,890
I came here because I was just fed up with all this building and one side of this, a blank story.

3201
04:39:30,890 --> 04:39:39,890
It's this folks that I'm hate and they're portraying one-sided story and one-sided story on it.

3202
04:39:40,430 --> 04:39:45,350
In the last year we were said, and he spoke out.

3203
04:39:46,170 --> 04:39:52,850
I spoke out, fed up with a horrible atrocities that are happening in the Middle East.

3204
04:39:52,850 --> 04:39:59,330
I was both specific and grant I was condemning, I was condemning, I was condemning, I was

3205
04:39:59,330 --> 04:40:04,430
in Sweden, they became the mass, they were the rape capital of the world.

3206
04:40:05,310 --> 04:40:11,470
And they said in his book, I spoke up, I spoke up for the women that are not treated

3207
04:40:11,470 --> 04:40:13,130
this thing this many.

3208
04:40:13,890 --> 04:40:20,230
If I remember this rape, heard testimony in the Middle East, can't just have testimony.

3209
04:40:20,230 --> 04:40:25,250
Who speaks out against that? It's not care. It's not for Mr. Miller.

3210
04:40:26,050 --> 04:40:27,850
Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller.

3211
04:40:29,090 --> 04:40:32,150
Who speaks out about the power failure?

3212
04:40:32,790 --> 04:40:36,650
When Wokeh are on kidnapped the kids, the younger us, and right thing.

3213
04:40:37,250 --> 04:40:39,050
Who speaks out?

3214
04:40:40,370 --> 04:40:41,510
It's moved me.

3215
04:40:42,250 --> 04:40:44,810
And I was speaking out as an American.

3216
04:40:45,370 --> 04:40:48,170
As it is guaranteed by the most difficult situation.

3217
04:40:49,070 --> 04:40:56,810
When I'm here, precedent-trumped, say, make America grow again, but makes America grow again,

3218
04:40:57,250 --> 04:41:03,050
as, and again, and again, it's not just our constitution, but it starts with the declarations

3219
04:41:03,050 --> 04:41:12,730
within the peninspirators, all of us who may equal. All of us are the same. I've offered multiple,

3220
04:41:12,730 --> 04:41:14,850
multiple apologies.

3221
04:41:17,450 --> 04:41:23,870
And I never once paid everyone 1.6 billion people with the same brush.

3222
04:41:24,970 --> 04:41:31,690
I spoke out because I couldn't take it anymore. You know, and maybe let me say never forget.

3223
04:41:31,690 --> 04:41:40,030
You know, I don't forget, it's on my heart, when I see, when it all sounds, when I read

3224
04:41:40,030 --> 04:41:48,990
my team-breaking in-women, it's on my heart, when I see homosexuals being trained from the

3225
04:41:48,990 --> 04:41:51,070
roof and certain messaging countries.

3226
04:41:51,070 --> 04:42:01,610
In seven countries, in the Middle East, it is punished by capital capital murder, capital

3227
04:42:01,610 --> 04:42:12,250
punishment in the international lesbian, gay and bisexual federation, which is comprised

3228
04:42:12,250 --> 04:42:20,890
of 12,200 member organizations, they mention that in seven of these countries, the capital

3229
04:42:20,890 --> 04:42:31,570
that punishment for being homosexual. That's a punishment. So I wonder can someone

3230
04:42:31,570 --> 04:42:36,010
believe in condemning me publicly in a loudspeaker can you throw people like

3231
04:42:36,010 --> 04:42:42,970
you? We get through another roof because they choose to let another person

3232
04:42:42,970 --> 04:42:45,990
of the same sex.

3233
04:42:48,250 --> 04:42:56,230
I see here, Mayor Salas, and Councilwoman, Councilwoman Nagler.

3234
04:42:58,030 --> 04:43:06,410
Last week, I met the first Persian women ever elected, not in America, in the history

3235
04:43:06,410 --> 04:43:09,910
of humanity, and we were friends.

3236
04:43:10,570 --> 04:43:17,130
I don't hate people, I don't hate these people that come here and speak and hold their things about me.

3237
04:43:18,530 --> 04:43:25,390
But I do have, I don't know what else to call, this mirror is, about bad people.

3238
04:43:26,590 --> 04:43:34,130
That treatment, like second hand services, that stand them today, stand them to bad,

3239
04:43:36,710 --> 04:43:44,130
because they cheat and they can't defend themselves because their argument is only half.

3240
04:43:45,330 --> 04:43:50,450
When they're raped, when they're misrared, you know, what else do we call people?

3241
04:43:52,150 --> 04:43:58,790
and I, the that do that to run in pedophilia,

3242
04:43:59,950 --> 04:44:04,890
general manipulation, you know, if you can come up with something that

3243
04:44:04,890 --> 04:44:09,370
better symbolizing the better symbolizes that behavior.

3244
04:44:10,310 --> 04:44:11,010
I would like to know.

3245
04:44:11,730 --> 04:44:16,750
In my heart, I can call that anything other than supping the behavior.

3246
04:44:16,750 --> 04:44:22,290
I stand behind that. That's why I haven't deleted any of my tweets. I have been

3247
04:44:22,290 --> 04:44:28,210
based on specific and where I can then and I don't condemn everybody and run and not

3248
04:44:28,210 --> 04:44:36,850
sometimes world will be for me to be condemned, for speaking out for people that none

3249
04:44:36,850 --> 04:44:43,490
have voices and none alone will have their heads attached to their bodies. I can't

3250
04:44:43,490 --> 04:44:56,090
people for the horrible things. And then for it to be mentioned about the genocide that the

3251
04:44:56,090 --> 04:44:57,450
in the fire.

3252
04:44:57,950 --> 04:44:58,850
Committed against Chris.

3253
04:45:01,710 --> 04:45:30,090
It's just to slap in the face. When we sign that we'll try to be with Iran, and if we weren't able to say that to America and that to Israel, after honoring someone who was in a concentration camp, it feels like it's an upside down world, and I respect what you do. It is super difficult getting elected, and I respect the level you've been low enough.

3254
04:45:30,090 --> 04:45:36,550
different opinions. I don't even know what the other thing you say. You will want to do

3255
04:45:36,550 --> 04:45:42,630
whatever thing I said, but I don't pull my punches when I feel and I see such injustice

3256
04:45:42,630 --> 04:45:48,050
and the ones that are seen in this injustice, the most are other Muslim people in the Middle

3257
04:45:48,050 --> 04:45:57,090
East. Thank you and God bless. Thank you very much. We have Wendy Patterson or Patterson.

3258
04:46:02,720 --> 04:46:07,820
I'm going to look hide when the others think I'm a little fled by what we just heard.

3259
04:46:10,400 --> 04:46:16,460
And then if we recognize this formula is matching, so we're meeting from the divisible group of 600 members.

3260
04:46:18,320 --> 04:46:24,740
And we all believe in the previous conversations that we've heard about equality,

3261
04:46:26,280 --> 04:46:29,780
and Muslim rights, women's rights.

3262
04:46:29,780 --> 04:46:39,620
I don't feel, I'm Jewish, that is not your church, you dare just question that is.

3263
04:46:40,580 --> 04:46:44,700
And this country was not founded, it's freedom of religion as well.

3264
04:46:44,980 --> 04:46:48,280
We were founded, people were fleeing persecution for their religion.

3265
04:46:49,840 --> 04:46:53,520
I know how you will feel, you all have shown great dignity tonight.

3266
04:46:54,640 --> 04:46:57,160
And he just showed his colors completely.

3267
04:46:57,660 --> 04:47:04,160
And after that meeting last week, what most upset me that I came back to again is that he posted,

3268
04:47:05,620 --> 04:47:08,220
I'm not being in my supporters to that atmosphere.

3269
04:47:08,860 --> 04:47:13,480
I don't want to expose my supporters to the abuse from care and other radicals.

3270
04:47:13,660 --> 04:47:17,740
Care is leading a fighting against me and pressure that the board members dissensionally.

3271
04:47:18,820 --> 04:47:22,380
I want that I am only blessed and who will to catch him.

3272
04:47:23,500 --> 04:47:27,440
To count with your support, I want that care, silence or burden me.

3273
04:47:27,660 --> 04:47:28,640
Don't listen to care.

3274
04:47:28,780 --> 04:47:31,020
Again, his family, somebody who doesn't listen to care,

3275
04:47:31,220 --> 04:47:33,360
and majority of you know to people behind you.

3276
04:47:33,580 --> 04:47:36,600
My friends in Sharia have no place in United States.

3277
04:47:37,060 --> 04:47:38,660
He's festering hate.

3278
04:47:39,180 --> 04:47:42,020
Because he has a right to a voice. He could say anything he wants,

3279
04:47:42,260 --> 04:47:44,400
but not in the public official.

3280
04:47:45,580 --> 04:47:47,980
I think you guys know what you have to do.

3281
04:47:48,260 --> 04:47:52,260
At least make the recommendation, even if you can't act like fire in here.

3282
04:47:52,580 --> 04:47:57,420
This is what caused the Holocaust and persecution throughout people through the ages.

3283
04:47:58,560 --> 04:47:59,160
Thank you.

3284
04:47:59,500 --> 04:48:00,140
Thank you.

3285
04:48:00,580 --> 04:48:04,160
And our very last speaker is Caesar from Fernandez.

3286
04:48:04,480 --> 04:48:05,040
Thank you.

3287
04:48:05,440 --> 04:48:06,120
Caesar from Fernandez.

3288
04:48:06,780 --> 04:48:07,480
Caesar from Fernandez.

3289
04:48:07,480 --> 04:48:08,420
Caesar from Fernandez.

3290
04:48:10,940 --> 04:48:12,900
Caesar from Fernandez.

3291
04:48:12,900 --> 04:48:14,380
Caesar from Fernandez.

3292
04:48:14,960 --> 04:48:19,420
It's been a fun moment when you get to listen to it a man who is set up and said for

3293
04:48:19,420 --> 04:48:22,460
things being himself as he did to him and a hero.

3294
04:48:24,380 --> 04:48:28,760
So I just want to remind the council that it's not just this moment, there's been a history

3295
04:48:28,760 --> 04:48:33,880
of this rash online behavior and he's talked this way about several seconds of society,

3296
04:48:34,180 --> 04:48:38,320
starting on the way back when he ran for school board, then city council.

3297
04:48:38,520 --> 04:48:42,660
But I think he forgot that those attempts, they're here the idea that he found his spot

3298
04:48:42,660 --> 04:48:49,180
on the Router Board. And I really, I'm here because we all believe that our elected officials

3299
04:48:49,180 --> 04:48:53,980
should be held to the highest standard of service. Okay, we should do fostering a community

3300
04:48:53,980 --> 04:49:01,340
of inclusion and a collaboration and we shouldn't be dealing with this kind of divisive and

3301
04:49:01,340 --> 04:49:08,080
hateful language. Okay, so please do the right thing and call for his resignation. And if there

3302
04:49:15,370 --> 04:49:16,570
Thank you.

3303
04:49:16,650 --> 04:49:18,590
That was the end of our speakers, Mr. Vidya.

3304
04:49:21,450 --> 04:49:26,740
Thanks for everyone's patience and, you know,

3305
04:49:28,920 --> 04:49:32,520
it kind of blows my mind that the city council

3306
04:49:32,520 --> 04:49:39,140
of the second largest city in the county of San Diego, which is the second largest county

3307
04:49:39,140 --> 04:49:41,280
in the biggest state in the United States.

3308
04:49:41,280 --> 04:49:47,180
is here at 10 o'clock at night, having to hear a lot of pain.

3309
04:49:48,520 --> 04:49:55,360
I felt a lot of difficulties, and to consider having to adopt a resolution calling upon

3310
04:49:55,360 --> 04:50:01,540
an elected official in another agency within our city's boundaries to step down

3311
04:50:03,780 --> 04:50:05,580
simply because

3312
04:50:05,580 --> 04:50:15,160
He cannot say, I was wrong, I am sorry, that was not my intention, but I acknowledged that I

3313
04:50:15,160 --> 04:50:16,040
did hurt you.

3314
04:50:16,060 --> 04:50:22,680
And I acknowledged what I said by conflating your people's behavior with their actual identity

3315
04:50:23,620 --> 04:50:24,440
was wrong.

3316
04:50:24,780 --> 04:50:32,100
And how can we take an opportunity to turn what is a very unfortunate developing and continuously

3317
04:50:32,100 --> 04:50:39,220
still developing division in this community because of this situation into a moment that

3318
04:50:39,220 --> 04:50:43,100
could really show grace and dignity and healing and forgiveness.

3319
04:50:45,780 --> 04:50:51,560
After I appreciate your heartfelt testimony and I really have to say as a human being,

3320
04:50:52,600 --> 04:50:55,140
I bear no personal ill-willed towards you at all.

3321
04:50:55,360 --> 04:50:59,320
I respect that you have strong opinions in this matter.

3322
04:50:59,320 --> 04:51:04,260
I respect that you are in pain too, that you are feeling a lot of negative negativity from

3323
04:51:04,260 --> 04:51:09,280
the community, and it took a lot of guts to come and express you are perspective.

3324
04:51:10,300 --> 04:51:15,220
But I have to say respectfully that I think you're missing the point.

3325
04:51:18,300 --> 04:51:24,620
You know, I think all of us find a point, the activities of ignorant intolerant, hateful

3326
04:51:24,620 --> 04:51:30,500
people, no matter who they are, no matter where they are, no matter from what country or

3327
04:51:30,500 --> 04:51:34,440
culture, or language, or religious tradition, or system of beliefs.

3328
04:51:35,600 --> 04:51:41,160
Indeed, in this country, the Ku Klux Klann, who

3329
04:51:41,160 --> 04:51:45,840
brought white crucifixes in flame on the prairies of the South,

3330
04:51:46,320 --> 04:51:51,400
and lynched and murdered and hung people of color up until modern

3331
04:51:51,400 --> 04:51:55,700
history, did not do so because they were Christians.

3332
04:51:57,160 --> 04:51:59,620
They did so because they were ignorant bigots.

3333
04:52:00,960 --> 04:52:11,880
People who are misguided in other parts of the world and invoke Islam, or Allah, or any other religious tradition in the name of violence and intolerance,

3334
04:52:12,220 --> 04:52:21,840
it's not because they're Muslim or because they're Christian or because that is an affront to I think most people in the world who are people of faith.

3335
04:52:21,840 --> 04:52:23,780
And I'm one of them.

3336
04:52:26,800 --> 04:52:29,840
Hector, I think you're conflating people's behavior

3337
04:52:30,440 --> 04:52:33,540
with who they are based on their religious identity

3338
04:52:33,540 --> 04:52:34,820
or tradition or beliefs.

3339
04:52:35,900 --> 04:52:38,660
And the reason so much of our community are hurt

3340
04:52:38,660 --> 04:52:40,860
and offended is because you have done that.

3341
04:52:43,560 --> 04:52:45,480
I've been an elected official too.

3342
04:52:46,280 --> 04:52:47,980
I've had my good times in my bad times.

3343
04:52:48,060 --> 04:52:50,820
In my personal life, I have known in this community

3344
04:52:50,820 --> 04:52:54,400
where I spent my whole life and 20 years trying to serve it.

3345
04:52:54,400 --> 04:52:57,640
I have been on a receiving end of hate and bigotry.

3346
04:52:58,760 --> 04:53:03,360
I know what it's like to be a little boy growing up in Chulavista and called a wetback by grown men.

3347
04:53:05,120 --> 04:53:09,260
I know what it's like to sit as the mayor of Chulavista and have two hours of public testimony,

3348
04:53:09,260 --> 04:53:16,960
personally attacking and condemning me for being a gay person and how dear I tell the world that as a sitting mayor.

3349
04:53:17,940 --> 04:53:20,260
And I know what it's like to sit in awkward silence,

3350
04:53:20,260 --> 04:53:21,880
One none of my colleagues,

3351
04:53:22,920 --> 04:53:27,080
bother to grab a microphone and speak out, so I had to speak for myself.

3352
04:53:28,920 --> 04:53:30,660
I know what it's like to suffer violence.

3353
04:53:32,340 --> 04:53:35,620
I know what it's like to face down hatred in bigotry.

3354
04:53:37,400 --> 04:53:39,860
I know what it's like as an elected official to make mistakes.

3355
04:53:41,400 --> 04:53:47,700
I know what it's like to have to humble yourself to your community and say, I was wrong. I screwed up. I made a mistake.

3356
04:53:48,160 --> 04:53:50,240
Let me tell you what I learned from that mistake.

3357
04:53:51,480 --> 04:53:54,160
I know the humility of being defeated at the polls.

3358
04:53:55,080 --> 04:53:59,660
Both because of bigotry, and perhaps because of mistakes.

3359
04:54:01,780 --> 04:54:05,660
I spent the last decade of my adult life trying to redeem that,

3360
04:54:05,660 --> 04:54:09,000
grow and get back in office, which is the passion of my life.

3361
04:54:09,740 --> 04:54:12,440
And I've been blessed to be given an opportunity to serve again.

3362
04:54:14,900 --> 04:54:17,300
I don't think you're an evil guy, I don't think you're a bad guy.

3363
04:54:17,300 --> 04:54:19,600
I think you're missing the point, you're not here in your constituents.

3364
04:54:20,780 --> 04:54:24,880
The City Council of the second largest city in the county is sitting here at 10 o'clock at

3365
04:54:24,880 --> 04:54:29,940
night, having to consider this resolution and I don't like being in that position because

3366
04:54:29,940 --> 04:54:34,760
you could have simply taken the high road and said, I was wrong, I'm sorry.

3367
04:54:36,480 --> 04:54:42,120
I think with respect the mistake that you make is when you conflate the actions you seek to

3368
04:54:42,120 --> 04:54:43,960
condemn, which I join you in condemning.

3369
04:54:45,460 --> 04:54:51,380
And somehow relate that to an entire class of people in their faith or their identity.

3370
04:54:52,500 --> 04:54:57,340
And that's the danger, and it has always been the danger of what hate and bigotry is.

3371
04:54:57,720 --> 04:54:59,060
And words matter,

3372
04:55:01,560 --> 04:55:05,680
in Germany, after the first great war in the early 30s, as this crazy

3373
04:55:05,680 --> 04:55:10,760
little Nazi national socialist party started to have rallies in the town square, and the middle

3374
04:55:10,760 --> 04:55:15,140
class of Germany at the time who started to suffer under harsh economic conditions.

3375
04:55:15,140 --> 04:55:17,700
They kind of set ignore those guys that kind of nuts.

3376
04:55:18,780 --> 04:55:20,100
You know, their words don't really matter.

3377
04:55:20,780 --> 04:55:22,560
They're just that crazy Nazi party over there.

3378
04:55:22,640 --> 04:55:24,160
I mean, they'll never really be a problem.

3379
04:55:27,720 --> 04:55:31,080
And those words impacted a whole society

3380
04:55:31,080 --> 04:55:35,880
and led an entire government to willingly hand power

3381
04:55:36,660 --> 04:55:40,020
to out off Hitler, because of words.

3382
04:55:42,510 --> 04:55:43,310
Words matter.

3383
04:55:44,390 --> 04:55:46,590
All of us have a first amendment right to expression,

3384
04:55:46,590 --> 04:55:50,590
But we have responsibilities when we're an elective office that go with it.

3385
04:55:51,730 --> 04:55:55,410
This is not a matter of what legal authority we may not have.

3386
04:55:55,410 --> 04:55:58,910
God bless Glenn Guggen's, he always does a good job advising us about our legal position.

3387
04:55:59,390 --> 04:56:00,170
It's absolutely right.

3388
04:56:00,910 --> 04:56:03,470
We have no legal authority over the Otail Water Board,

3389
04:56:04,210 --> 04:56:06,230
but we should as hell have moral authority.

3390
04:56:07,650 --> 04:56:09,630
And we have a voice too.

3391
04:56:10,170 --> 04:56:12,590
And I have a first amendment voice too.

3392
04:56:15,630 --> 04:56:26,530
And I don't like being in this position because it should never have gotten this far, but now that we are here, the choice for me, is do I speak out?

3393
04:56:28,210 --> 04:56:29,490
Do I say something?

3394
04:56:31,980 --> 04:56:38,080
There's a member of this community and there's an elected official representing it, or do I just keep my mouth shut and say stay out of it, it's a lot easier.

3395
04:56:38,960 --> 04:56:42,200
So, a lot easier personally and politically just do not do anything,

3396
04:56:44,540 --> 04:56:45,960
but that's not the right thing to do.

3397
04:56:48,000 --> 04:56:51,260
I'm upset that I'm in this position, but I am going to speak out.

3398
04:56:52,440 --> 04:56:57,720
And so, I'm out of mirror with regret, but with resolve, I'm going to offer the resolution.

3399
04:56:59,040 --> 04:56:59,740
Mr. Reckon.

3400
04:57:05,040 --> 04:57:05,920
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

3401
04:57:06,520 --> 04:57:13,080
I just wanted to say that a lot of people still hear, but I'm very, very proud of this council,

3402
04:57:13,080 --> 04:57:40,120
Because one of the things that we did tonight, if you look at resolution number nine, and if you look at the item number two on a resolution number nine, we have reaffirmed our commitment to not discriminate against someone based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic or immigration status.

3403
04:57:43,870 --> 04:57:46,210
I served in Mosul, Iraq.

3404
04:57:48,380 --> 04:57:56,560
It was incredibly difficult situation. We were there,

3405
04:57:57,540 --> 04:58:02,920
seemed like everybody hated everybody. And he had the shears, fighting with the

3406
04:58:02,920 --> 04:58:09,360
Sunnis, fighting with the Kurds, fighting with the Caldeans, and it was amazing.

3407
04:58:12,890 --> 04:58:13,130
The

3408
04:58:13,130 --> 04:58:17,530
great thing, the glimmer of hope that I had, I was able to make relationships

3409
04:58:17,530 --> 04:58:27,030
and friendships with student Muslims, with sheer Muslims, with Kurds, with Caldians.

3410
04:58:28,310 --> 04:58:33,870
And we worked every day to be able to make that city a better place.

3411
04:58:35,070 --> 04:58:40,490
I still pray every night to my friends, Majid and Basil.

3412
04:58:41,570 --> 04:58:52,780
I've lost contact with them and I pray every night that what's going on in Mosul Iraq, that they're okay, they're safe, and they're family safe.

3413
04:58:54,420 --> 04:58:57,640
And someday I will find out what happened and I hope they are okay.

3414
04:58:59,870 --> 04:59:13,110
I think we need to, again, be a country where we do not look at the differences and say that makes us different.

3415
04:59:13,110 --> 04:59:15,730
We need to be able to accept people's differences.

3416
04:59:16,910 --> 04:59:21,490
And when you look at the entire world, we can't just paint a broad brush on everybody.

3417
04:59:23,190 --> 04:59:26,850
You look at what's happening in Syria, there's a lot of bad things.

3418
04:59:27,490 --> 04:59:33,570
But the country next to it, Jordan, cannot do it the second, as a Muslim,

3419
04:59:34,390 --> 04:59:38,990
yet he is one of the best allies for the United States.

3420
04:59:39,790 --> 04:59:41,130
And he's not a bad person.

3421
04:59:42,010 --> 04:59:51,930
When you look at the over 1 billion Muslims in the entire world, there's so many differences of culture and the way they do.

3422
04:59:52,750 --> 04:59:59,470
So I just want you to know that we need to continue to work together, listen to each other, and...

3423
05:00:00,000 --> 05:00:12,300
To give each other the opportunity to do better and find ways where we share and can work together. Thank you.

3424
05:00:12,480 --> 05:00:14,060
Thank you very much.

3425
05:00:17,380 --> 05:00:22,800
I would be supporting your motion to adopt the resolution.

3426
05:00:22,800 --> 05:00:30,920
But having said that, what I would like to really say is that I hope that everybody who

3427
05:00:30,920 --> 05:00:39,640
ratchets down the rhetoric on both sides and that, you know, Mr. Gustave has errors in judgment.

3428
05:00:41,920 --> 05:00:49,420
And I think that, you know, there's, you know, mistakes in the way that he perceives people.

3429
05:00:49,420 --> 05:00:55,880
it's wrong the way that he perceives people, but I also would like to remind the other community

3430
05:00:55,880 --> 05:01:02,680
too that we don't do any better and they'll find somebody. We don't do any better in doing

3431
05:01:02,680 --> 05:01:12,120
that. And that we have to come to a moment of peace here and resolution on this matter and

3432
05:01:12,120 --> 05:01:17,780
you know, the name calling has to stop, you know, the terrible things that have been said,

3433
05:01:17,780 --> 05:01:24,600
You know, and some of it wanted, but the name calling has to stop on both sides.

3434
05:01:25,600 --> 05:01:28,320
We have to, we have to move beyond that and we have to heal.

3435
05:01:29,700 --> 05:01:40,140
And so I think that, you know, the, the offense to so many groups by, by tweets or comments

3436
05:01:40,140 --> 05:01:46,300
that Mr. Gistellon has had in the past and maybe he's continuing to do that, I think that

3437
05:01:46,300 --> 05:01:51,800
The hurt is, is wanted, you know, I think that it's, it's something that we have to recognize

3438
05:01:52,360 --> 05:01:55,180
that people take great offense to.

3439
05:01:56,360 --> 05:02:03,700
But we also have to not retaliate in a way that you're attacking someone, but maybe in the

3440
05:02:03,700 --> 05:02:05,980
way that you're trying to educate them.

3441
05:02:06,240 --> 05:02:14,160
And I think that we do a lot better when we try to educate and be open to others on both sides

3442
05:02:14,160 --> 05:02:14,840
of the issue.

3443
05:02:15,660 --> 05:02:23,000
But he isn't elected official, and he does have a bully pulpit, and when you're an elected official,

3444
05:02:23,480 --> 05:02:27,440
the words that you say are reflective of the constituents that you represent.

3445
05:02:28,220 --> 05:02:33,100
And so that's where I think Mr. Castellum, you know, crossed the line.

3446
05:02:33,800 --> 05:02:37,680
And so I will be supporting you in your request.

3447
05:02:37,680 --> 05:02:44,280
Council member Padilla, but I just want to get this matter resolved and I want the community

3448
05:02:44,280 --> 05:02:45,140
move forward.

3449
05:02:45,600 --> 05:02:54,120
We did so much tonight about being a welcoming community and we have to embrace people that

3450
05:02:54,120 --> 05:03:00,080
are offensive to us and try to work with them and determine them around, but to continue

3451
05:03:00,080 --> 05:03:11,820
this ongoing discussion in a very destructive manner on both sides, I think doesn't do any

3452
05:03:11,820 --> 05:03:13,240
of us any good.

3453
05:03:13,580 --> 05:03:14,400
Ms. Aguilar.

3454
05:03:19,040 --> 05:03:19,820
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

3455
05:03:21,080 --> 05:03:26,560
Mr. Agustella, I want to thank you for coming here tonight to a lot of courage to do that

3456
05:03:26,560 --> 05:03:29,300
in the face of what was on the agenda.

3457
05:03:29,300 --> 05:03:56,800
Like you, I find the actions of fences that you described that have been carried out in the name of Islam, to be reprehensible.

3458
05:03:56,800 --> 05:04:08,620
I also find that the violence that's going on in El Salvador is reprehensible.

3459
05:04:14,680 --> 05:04:27,920
The problem is in my view that when you attribute reprehensible actions to a whole community

3460
05:04:27,920 --> 05:04:33,180
or a group of people, that's also reprehensible.

3461
05:04:35,120 --> 05:04:40,810
And so I,

3462
05:04:43,810 --> 05:04:51,310
I fairly accept and recognize that you have the right to the preem of speech

3463
05:04:51,310 --> 05:04:59,790
to speak your mind, but that also means accepting the consequences of doing that.

3464
05:04:59,790 --> 05:05:11,310
I also have a right to speak my mind and I find the actions that you describe as

3465
05:05:11,310 --> 05:05:13,730
reprehensible, but they're done by individuals.

3466
05:05:14,330 --> 05:05:21,690
They're not done by a community, a building people, they're not done by care.

3467
05:05:21,690 --> 05:05:39,850
And so exercising my right to freedom of speech, I also want to support council member Padilla's

3468
05:05:39,850 --> 05:05:50,130
suggestion that we direct staff to draw up a resolution calling for your resignation from

3469
05:05:50,130 --> 05:05:53,810
the O.T. Waterboard District. Thank you, Madam Mayor.

3470
05:05:56,810 --> 05:05:57,450
Mr. Thief.

3471
05:06:02,330 --> 05:06:08,090
There's a couple. I will go just two different ways. Number one, I believe that I was a

3472
05:06:08,090 --> 05:06:11,250
firefighter for 30 years and I believe that there are certain groups that need to be held

3473
05:06:11,250 --> 05:06:18,810
higher standard. Please, fire, politicians, clergy, doctors, etc.

3474
05:06:20,930 --> 05:06:21,830
And so sometimes

3475
05:06:22,770 --> 05:06:29,370
we have to watch what we say in the public and we do have a, you know, right

3476
05:06:29,370 --> 05:06:38,250
to free speech, but we do need to be careful. I agree. I think I understood his

3477
05:06:38,250 --> 05:06:47,910
apology, I know he said he wasn't doing broad brush and I can accept that, but I think

3478
05:06:47,910 --> 05:06:55,330
the reason I'm not going to vote for this is because I don't know that we need to become

3479
05:06:55,330 --> 05:06:59,710
the police in the county because we have stacks.

3480
05:07:00,010 --> 05:07:04,930
I create a lot of people talking about things that I thought I was offended about how they

3481
05:07:04,930 --> 05:07:09,590
talk about other people in our government, in our communities.

3482
05:07:10,870 --> 05:07:17,850
And so it goes both ways, and so do we want to take that role, becoming the police in

3483
05:07:17,850 --> 05:07:18,290
this county?

3484
05:07:18,710 --> 05:07:20,690
And I don't think we want to go down that.

3485
05:07:21,290 --> 05:07:28,690
Now if there's an annoying that we do want to hold people to a higher level of accountability,

3486
05:07:30,110 --> 05:07:38,150
If he is on one of our commissions, certainly I would say, well, okay, maybe we don't want

3487
05:07:38,150 --> 05:07:42,650
on a commission representing the city to all of this stuff, but to go out there and

3488
05:07:42,650 --> 05:07:49,930
start policing other politicians from other agencies, I just don't think we need to go

3489
05:07:49,930 --> 05:07:50,730
down that road.

3490
05:07:56,100 --> 05:07:57,980
Did you, you were spoken?

3491
05:08:01,190 --> 05:08:01,790
Madam Mayor?

3492
05:08:02,170 --> 05:08:02,190
Yes.

3493
05:08:02,730 --> 05:08:06,510
This item is actually set up for you potentially to take action tonight.

3494
05:08:06,770 --> 05:08:06,950
Yes.

3495
05:08:07,130 --> 05:08:09,610
Most directly to do that would be,

3496
05:08:10,690 --> 05:08:14,570
that the City Clerk would prepare a minutes resolution based on the motion,

3497
05:08:14,810 --> 05:08:18,350
which the City Clerk and I understand to be based on the testimony presented.

3498
05:08:18,790 --> 05:08:21,690
The motion would be for the City Council to call for the resignation of

3499
05:08:21,690 --> 05:08:24,570
of history of gospel from the Otywater District Board.

3500
05:08:25,090 --> 05:08:27,770
But that's an accurate reflection of the motion

3501
05:08:27,770 --> 05:08:31,490
that could be implemented after a vote

3502
05:08:31,490 --> 05:08:33,870
from the Council by a minutes resolution from the city.

3503
05:08:33,870 --> 05:08:35,370
It's said it was a make-up of the motion.

3504
05:08:36,030 --> 05:08:36,550
So is that?

3505
05:08:36,550 --> 05:08:38,330
Well, for a discussion, I'd be agreeable,

3506
05:08:38,790 --> 05:08:40,390
but unless I misread my agenda,

3507
05:08:40,470 --> 05:08:42,330
I think there is a resolution before us tonight,

3508
05:08:42,430 --> 05:08:44,330
is that not correct or no?

3509
05:08:45,550 --> 05:08:46,590
Not a written resolution.

3510
05:08:46,910 --> 05:08:49,490
It's just in the, I've been effect paraphrased

3511
05:08:49,490 --> 05:08:54,090
the heading of the of the item, but it's not there was no former resolution.

3512
05:08:54,750 --> 05:08:55,850
Oh, is that good for draft?

3513
05:08:56,290 --> 05:08:57,890
So the form would be a minutes resolution.

3514
05:08:58,730 --> 05:09:03,690
If you wanted a formal resolution with elements, I think that we would need to discuss.

3515
05:09:04,010 --> 05:09:05,570
We would need to come back with that.

3516
05:09:05,710 --> 05:09:09,550
Mr. City Attorney, I think if you'd agree, I think it would accomplish the same thing.

3517
05:09:09,950 --> 05:09:16,970
In that the city, by minute order, basically, would express its public reiterated sentiments

3518
05:09:16,970 --> 05:09:19,430
and call for Mr. Guestel on the step down.

3519
05:09:20,330 --> 05:09:22,410
That's I think that's consistent with what I.

3520
05:09:22,630 --> 05:09:24,850
And so as a measure of motion I would agree to that.

3521
05:09:25,790 --> 05:09:26,330
All right.

3522
05:09:26,930 --> 05:09:31,130
And then I was the second I and I agree with that.

3523
05:09:34,840 --> 05:09:36,120
So call for the vote.

3524
05:09:42,740 --> 05:09:42,800
Okay.

3525
05:09:43,900 --> 05:09:46,460
It passes with Mr. Diaz.

3526
05:09:46,720 --> 05:09:47,140
Right now.

3527
05:09:48,640 --> 05:09:49,600
So there's one other.

3528
05:09:50,040 --> 05:09:51,540
There's a couple of orders of business.

3529
05:09:51,780 --> 05:09:54,900
Okay. So there's a section being on on this report.

3530
05:10:00,480 --> 05:10:03,520
I know, let's see. I love the 11.

3531
05:10:04,600 --> 05:10:05,260
That's 11 being.

3532
05:10:05,920 --> 05:10:07,640
Okay, sorry, it's getting late.

3533
05:10:08,680 --> 05:10:12,380
Madam Mayor, it's 11b to regarding the organization.

3534
05:10:12,640 --> 05:10:18,540
Okay, so, but before I go into that, what I'd like to do is I would like to

3535
05:10:18,540 --> 05:10:24,300
call the Council's attention to item number seven, where we're supposed to examine

3536
05:10:24,300 --> 05:10:31,740
the applicant's for cultural arts commission, I would respectfully ask that we continue this

3537
05:10:31,740 --> 05:10:37,000
until at least May the 9th. And one of the reasons being is I understand that there's

3538
05:10:37,000 --> 05:10:42,240
going to be a position opening for the Civil Service Commission, so I think it's more efficient

3539
05:10:42,240 --> 05:10:53,040
if we consider those two vacancies at that time. So we'll continue this until May the 9th.

3540
05:10:53,040 --> 05:10:59,140
Okay? So, we won't have to discuss that. So, you know, we took some of the actions tonight,

3541
05:10:59,600 --> 05:11:05,620
but, and one of the referrals that I made was to have staff return with the updated

3542
05:11:05,620 --> 05:11:12,460
ordinance regulating the Human Relations Commission for their purpose and intent. So, the

3543
05:11:12,460 --> 05:11:19,320
old ordinance is very outdated, and as an example of that, it does not include things like color,

3544
05:11:19,320 --> 05:11:27,560
a street gender sexual orientation, marital status, citizenship, and other descriptions of

3545
05:11:27,560 --> 05:11:33,520
other protected classes. So there's other sections there that are no longer

3546
05:11:33,520 --> 05:11:39,380
applicable to the city of Chilivista. So I believe that we can update the

3547
05:11:39,380 --> 05:11:45,500
ordinance and bring back to the council something much better to consider. And I

3548
05:11:45,500 --> 05:11:51,880
need the consensus of the council in order to direct staff to do so.

3549
05:11:51,880 --> 05:11:52,600
I agree.

3550
05:11:52,920 --> 05:11:53,200
Okay.

3551
05:11:53,720 --> 05:11:54,000
Okay.

3552
05:11:54,320 --> 05:11:55,320
So we have the consensus.

3553
05:11:56,140 --> 05:11:57,080
And thank you very much.

3554
05:11:57,260 --> 05:12:00,640
So with that, we will move on to council member comments.

3555
05:12:01,080 --> 05:12:03,160
And I'll start with Mr. Deez.

3556
05:12:04,080 --> 05:12:04,180
Okay.

3557
05:12:04,640 --> 05:12:05,200
Mr. McKam.

3558
05:12:06,060 --> 05:12:06,900
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

3559
05:12:07,920 --> 05:12:08,160
Wow.

3560
05:12:09,080 --> 05:12:12,320
We have what a motivated group.

3561
05:12:12,320 --> 05:12:19,460
Usually when it's council conference everybody scones out so I'm gonna I'm gonna finish quick before you guys were in a way

3562
05:12:19,460 --> 05:12:21,880
First I wanted to thank the mayor

3563
05:12:22,720 --> 05:12:28,630
Having the Holocaust survivors here. I think it was very very important to do that

3564
05:12:30,260 --> 05:12:36,770
I'm not gonna explain all the reasons why but I think there's so many reasons why I know we need to get home

3565
05:12:37,080 --> 05:12:40,420
I also want to wish everybody a happy Easter and a happy Passover

3566
05:12:41,320 --> 05:12:58,940
And I did attend the Filipino American Military Officers Association Lunch, and it was a great lunch, it was great to see so many people who've been able to be successful and do well in the military.

3567
05:13:00,320 --> 05:13:07,740
And the 11 17th Annual Day of the Child Fair, that was my wife used to be on the Child Care Commission.

3568
05:13:08,060 --> 05:13:11,400
And she was one of the ones that helped really make that go.

3569
05:13:11,660 --> 05:13:13,200
So that was an incredible event.

3570
05:13:13,400 --> 05:13:16,320
I hope most people were able to attend.

3571
05:13:16,700 --> 05:13:19,360
And if you didn't, I would encourage you to do it next year.

3572
05:13:20,360 --> 05:13:24,540
And we also have the one big, big event.

3573
05:13:24,660 --> 05:13:26,400
And this is going to be on the east side.

3574
05:13:26,400 --> 05:13:33,920
We have some great great events. I know the old tide parade. I was very honored to be on the committee with

3575
05:13:34,800 --> 05:13:42,180
Mrs. Aguilar. I thought that was a great event. We have the lemon festival. We have Harbourfest and those are all great events

3576
05:13:42,180 --> 05:13:50,860
But we don't necessarily have an event on the east side and but now we do this will be the first annual lake fest

3577
05:13:50,860 --> 05:13:57,200
So if everybody can mark their calendar, it's going to be Saturday, May 6th from noon to 5pm.

3578
05:13:57,500 --> 05:14:00,220
We're going to have children and family events.

3579
05:14:00,800 --> 05:14:06,960
We're going to have a whole bunch of craft beer, so if you're into beer tasting, we're beer drinking.

3580
05:14:07,480 --> 05:14:10,460
Just to can't drink and drive, please come over.

3581
05:14:10,820 --> 05:14:18,300
And we have some very cool bands on written law, Spun Monkey, and the Montel Jordan's.

3582
05:14:18,300 --> 05:14:28,140
So I think it will be a great event and for everybody involved and I would encourage everybody to be out there because this will be the first animal

3583
05:14:28,140 --> 05:14:34,200
So when this gets bigger and bigger and bigger you can always say I was there for the first time that happened.

3584
05:14:34,560 --> 05:14:35,300
So thank you.

3585
05:14:35,300 --> 05:14:37,380
Thank you very much Mr. Vidya.

3586
05:14:38,000 --> 05:14:40,140
None tonight in the interest of time at a mirror.

3587
05:14:40,580 --> 05:14:42,240
Okay, Mr. Aguilar.

3588
05:14:43,420 --> 05:14:44,460
Nothing tonight, Madam Mayor.

3589
05:14:44,780 --> 05:14:45,700
Okay, thank you very much.

3590
05:14:46,260 --> 05:14:48,900
Just to, on Mr. City Attorney.

3591
05:14:53,040 --> 05:14:54,040
Madam Mayor, no comments,

3592
05:14:54,540 --> 05:14:56,440
but we do have a close session tonight.

3593
05:14:57,660 --> 05:14:59,320
The conference with legal counsel regarding existing.

3594
05:15:00,300 --> 05:15:08,940
We've got three cases listed, but we're only going to go in on the Hess case in the Garcia case tonight.

3595
05:15:09,700 --> 05:15:24,820
Okay, thank you very much. And with that, after we adjourned from the close session, then we will adjourn to a special meeting of the City Council, the Planning Commission and the Growth Management Oversight Commission,

3596
05:15:25,380 --> 05:15:32,040
workshop on April the 27th at 6 p.m. in the council chambers and then to the mayor

3597
05:15:32,040 --> 05:15:39,040
state of the city address on May the 2nd at 6 p.m. in these council chambers. So I hope

3598
05:15:39,040 --> 05:15:45,420
you can come to the mayor state of the city address. It's always nice, our council members

3599
05:15:45,420 --> 05:15:52,900
recognize community leaders and we always have a nice reception afterwards. So with that, I wish

3600
05:15:52,900 --> 05:15:58,640
a good night. Thank you very much for all the participation of our residents and thank you

3601
05:15:58,640 --> 05:16:02,700
to the Council for working so hard tonight. We are cheering for each other.
