[24:54] 501 and as 502.

[24:55] Please proceed.

[24:55] Hello.

[24:56] Thank you for letting me speak.

[24:59] I would like to say that I had

[25:00] declined on commenting on This

[25:04] is such a lovely day with folk

[25:05] to celebrate things and have a

[25:08] good time and thank you all for

[25:09] letting me stand amongst you.

[25:13] Please encourage City Council

[25:14] to allow the flow of

[25:18] information Getting through to

[25:18] your office.

[25:19] All of these things are very

[25:22] important but so is

[25:23] the public's comments concerns,

[25:28] complaints things we need to

[25:28] bring to attention to city

[25:29] council men and women that

[25:32] represent us as the people.

[25:33] So I'm going to decline to

[25:34] speak any further other than

[25:37] non agenda public comment and I

[25:48] thank you all Taylor Item s501.

[25:48] Good morning.

[25:49] I just wanted to take a moment

[25:52] and sincerely thank you for

[25:52] recognizing something that

[25:53] impacts so many families yet is

[25:56] often carried in silence when

[25:57] we say that 1 in 6 people

[26:00] struggle with infertility and 1

[26:01] in 4 pregnancies and a

[26:01] miscarriage.

[26:02] These aren't just statistics.

[26:05] They represent real people,

[26:06] real grief, real journeys and

[26:06] deserve to be seen and

[26:07] supported.

[26:10] Your decision to bring

[26:10] awareness through this

[26:11] proclamation sends a powerful

[26:15] message that those walking this

[26:15] path are not alone and other

[26:16] stories matter.

[26:20] It helps break the stigma,

[26:21] invites conversation and create

[26:21] space for compassion and

[26:25] community on behalf of everyone

[26:26] that's experienced

[26:26] The heartbreak of the waiting

[26:29] the hope that comes with

[26:30] building a family in unexpected

[26:30] ways.

[26:34] Thank you for your recognition

[26:35] .

[26:35] It means more than words can

[26:36] fully express and it brings

[26:39] light to the journey that many

[26:40] carry quietly.

[26:40] So thank you for standing with

[26:41] us.

[26:41] Thank you.

[26:46] Allegedly Audra you're speaking

[26:47] on s five awareness 5a2 is 5a4

[26:47] and 32.

[26:50] Please proceed.

[26:54] >> It's interesting

[26:55] the proclamations you guys

[26:55] bring forward and then

[26:56] the things that we don't talk

[26:59] about that have to do with

[27:00] these types of things like 32

[27:03] an s5o2 about teachers and

[27:04] education and what's really

[27:07] going on in schools and what

[27:08] children are and are not being

[27:09] taught and the fact that they

[27:12] are you know, learning more

[27:13] about sexualization than their

[27:16] ABCs and one two threes and

[27:17] learning how to be a productive

[27:18] human.

[27:18] So it's very sad to see what's

[27:22] happens in the public education

[27:22] system because children are

[27:23] given pornographic books.

[27:26] In fact they can't even go read

[27:27] them at their school boards

[27:27] because they're so graphic And

[27:31] with all of the sexual abuse

[27:32] that happens with children it

[27:33] is very dangerous because that

[27:36] is a place where they get

[27:36] groomed and things happen.

[27:37] When you are sexualizing

[27:38] children like that and you have

[27:41] adults that come in and take

[27:41] advantage of that And I just

[27:42] don't think that we talk about

[27:45] that as well as the Infertility

[27:46] Awareness week.

[27:46] I can't have kids and I know

[27:50] there's reasons there's medical

[27:51] reasons and medical things that

[27:51] are taking place that are

[27:55] causing infertility like all of

[27:55] the vaccines that you guys

[27:59] think are so great like a lot

[28:00] of the toxic chemicals that are

[28:01] in food or the water or the air

[28:04] that nobody wants to really

[28:05] acknowledge, you guys actually

[28:06] talks of the water.

[28:06] You don't make it something

[28:09] that is is something that

[28:10] people can drink and do it in a

[28:11] way that they're going to be

[28:11] healthy.

[28:14] So it's like as we have these

[28:15] awareness things it's like we

[28:16] should be talking about why

[28:19] they actually exist because it

[28:19] doesn't do anybody a service

[28:23] just to have a day of awareness

[28:24] and it's sad And then with

[28:28] the capture the sorority stuff

[28:28] it's like that's a whole other

[28:32] aspect of something that can be

[28:33] super nefarious And it's like

[28:33] we live in a world where you

[28:37] know it is very inverted and

[28:38] it's like people don't like to

[28:39] talk about that and the real

[28:42] things that are going on But

[28:43] it's true And these places are

[28:44] places where you know, they put

[28:47] people into secret societies

[28:48] because they do a lot of

[28:48] nefarious things in these

[28:52] sororities or frat houses.

[28:53] And I mean I saw a video of

[28:54] these guys.

[28:54] They were sitting there bloody

[28:57] the police had come and they

[28:58] were all sitting there silent

[28:59] because they thought it was

[29:02] part of the test to stay loyal

[29:03] to that entity.

[29:03] And so nobody wanted to talk

[29:07] about why they were all bloody

[29:07] standing up against a wall and

[29:08] things like that And it's like

[29:11] this leads to a lot of

[29:12] the nefarious things that we

[29:13] see that are going on on our

[29:16] world And I just think it's sad

[29:17] that people don't want to

[29:17] acknowledge that we look at

[29:20] some things and not all things

[29:21] And the more that we recognize

[29:21] this place that we're in and

[29:25] how inverted it is, it's

[29:26] because it is void of GOD and

[29:30] it's a reflection of that And

[29:31] it's sad because we shouldn't

[29:32] be turning away from our

[29:35] creator and allowing the ruler

[29:36] of this world which is our

[29:40] adversary to run rampant and

[29:40] the things that happens to kids

[29:41] it's very sad or just

[29:44] the people in our communities

[29:45] and some of it's recognize and

[29:46] some of it isn't It just

[29:49] depends on if you check a

[29:50] certain box.

[29:51] So I just would hope that you

[29:51] guys would course correct at

[29:58] some point And I mean as I were

[29:58] one 3231 you'll have three

[29:59] minutes.

[29:59] Please proceed.

[30:00] Thank you.

[30:04] My name is Andrea Ebbing and

[30:04] the first one I will speak on

[30:07] is as 501 So national

[30:08] Infertility Awareness Week.

[30:09] I just pray for the families

[30:12] that are struggling to conceive

[30:13] and have children because

[30:16] having children is one of

[30:17] the most special rewarding

[30:21] blessings in this entire world

[30:22] And I'm so blessed to have had

[30:23] three beautiful daughters

[30:26] Bianca Viera and Camille who

[30:27] now reside in two separate

[30:31] states with their felony

[30:31] charged fathers who are both

[30:32] perpetrators of domestic

[30:35] violence with me as their name

[30:36] victim Which charges were

[30:37] removed from the charges system

[30:41] after the case was buried by sd

[30:45] pd and fda Because my ex is a

[30:45] $6 million County contracted

[30:46] rehab owner who is a partner of

[30:50] a dope dealing enterprise in

[30:50] San Diego.

[30:51] That's a fact According to dea

[30:54] convictions.

[30:55] But I love my daughter so

[30:56] dearly even though we are all

[30:59] so deeply traumatized by

[31:00] the abandonment of the city and

[31:04] county and what took place, I

[31:08] also hope that even though I

[31:09] don't plan on having more

[31:10] children that my organs are

[31:14] still intact After I was

[31:14] brutally beaten by the San

[31:18] Diego Police Department Anthony

[31:22] Warner in public on MARCH 21st

[31:23] in front of 40 children who I

[31:27] was encouraging to use their

[31:27] First Amendment rights do

[31:28] the right thing.

[31:31] I think in some of the video

[31:32] clips I look like I'm talking

[31:32] crazy But I was telling them

[31:36] you don't want to wind up in a

[31:37] position where you're in jail

[31:38] or you're in trouble because I

[31:41] live in a you know, in a low

[31:42] income community and Linda

[31:45] Vista and I think these kids

[31:46] are awesome and I want them to

[31:46] succeed.

[31:47] But I was brutally beaten and

[31:50] every time I told the officer

[31:51] where I was hurting most he

[31:51] would hurt me there most.

[31:55] There is an open rape kit for

[31:55] me because when the ambulance

[31:59] arrived emt had a needle in his

[32:00] hand even though I was

[32:04] handcuffed had a bag on my

[32:05] head, several broken bones in

[32:08] my face and I was in a burrito.

[32:09] They still wanted to do

[32:10] chemical restraint on me.

[32:14] We're missing a period of time

[32:14] And I was telling the officer

[32:19] What if I'm pregnant?

[32:19] And at that point he just

[32:20] started hurting me more in that

[32:21] area digging his knee, kicking

[32:24] me And when they did the rape

[32:24] kit they found that I have some

[32:28] internal damage.

[32:28] So I just hope that I don't

[32:29] plan on having more children.

[32:33] I just hope that I wasn't

[32:36] altered in any way in terms of

[32:37] APRIL 10th Francisco Castro

[32:41] that day I think that's

[32:42] wonderful And I just thought

[32:42] that was my birthday and I

[32:46] thank GOD that I will see it

[32:46] here on Friday.

[32:47] I'll be 46 years old and I

[32:51] lived through a ruptured

[32:54] aneurysm, a second rupture on

[32:55] NOVEMBER 4th and they tried to

[32:56] failure to appear me and put

[32:56] $100,000 warrant when I was

[33:00] getting brain surgery at

[33:00] Scripps La Hoya.

[33:01] >> So thank you.

[33:01] That concludes with a comment

[33:04] here in council chambers I've

[33:05] started the five minute timer

[33:08] going to 7499 if you can please

[33:09] unmute your only speaker

[33:13] currently online for approx

[33:13] 7499.

[33:14] Please let me know which item

[33:18] or items you wish to speak to.

[33:23] >> Items 3132 as final one I

[33:24] strive to and as vivo for thank

[33:25] you you'll have three minutes.

[33:26] >> Please proceed Bob Kozinski

[33:26] here.

[33:31] >> I'd like to amplify some of

[33:31] what some of the other speakers

[33:32] have said about the hypocrisy

[33:36] of this council regarding De La

[33:36] Hoya Shaw's proclamation and

[33:41] all of these proclamation.

[33:42] It's just one example of your

[33:42] hypocrisy.

[33:43] I'm going to read a letter from

[33:46] La Hoya Shaw's Association to

[33:49] Joe LaCava dated NOVEMBER 13th,

[33:50] 2025 just a few months ago.

[33:54] Quote To whom it MAY concern

[33:54] The La Hoya Shaw's Association

[33:55] respectfully submits this

[33:56] letter in support of

[33:59] establishing the Torrey Pines

[33:59] City Park Advisory Board and

[34:00] its role in overseeing

[34:04] Operation at the Torrey Pines

[34:05] Glider port.

[34:05] Our association believes this

[34:09] matter is vital to the safety

[34:09] of park users, visitors and

[34:13] the surrounding community.

[34:14] We encourage the city of San

[34:15] Diego to carefully evaluate

[34:19] whether solo flier pilots

[34:19] should be required to pay

[34:24] annual membership fees and or

[34:24] maintain insurance coverage to

[34:25] fly at the glider port.

[34:28] These measures would help

[34:29] ensure accountable and

[34:33] responsible use of this unique

[34:33] coastal resource while

[34:34] preserving safe and equitable

[34:38] access to a valued city park.

[34:39] Thank you for your attention to

[34:40] this issue and your continued

[34:44] stewardship of Torrey Pines

[34:44] City Park.

[34:44] Sincerely John Pierce,

[34:45] PRESIDENT Of the La Hoya,

[34:48] assures Association Joe LaCava

[34:49] has completely ignored this

[34:53] letter and many other letters

[34:54] throughout his term.

[34:58] And yet he has the audacity to

[34:58] proclaim it to be La Hoya

[34:59] Shores Association 60th

[34:59] anniversary day.

[35:03] While totally ignoring

[35:03] the wishes of that body and of

[35:07] all the people they represent

[35:08] it is disgusting how this

[35:12] council has used these

[35:13] proclamations to pretend that

[35:13] they're on the side of

[35:17] the people on the side of these

[35:18] good organizations while you

[35:22] just thumb your nose at what

[35:22] they bring to this city and

[35:26] recommend that this council do

[35:27] with great disgust.

[35:27] I'm done.

[35:30] Thank you.

[35:35] >> Travis Bouchard Please let

[35:36] me know which item or items you

[35:37] wish to speak to.

[35:40] >> Travis I'm just speaking for

[35:55] >> I'm speaking on knowledge

[35:59] and the public comment.

[36:00] >> Okay.

[36:00] That will be at the end of

[36:01] the meeting.

[36:01] Thank you.

[36:04] That does conclude public

[36:04] comment on the proclamations.

[36:05] >> All right.

[43:35] we're bringing this forward and

[43:39] letting folks know who've

[43:40] experienced that very, very,

[45:22] more families than many realize

[45:22] .

[45:23] We recognize the strength and

[45:24] resilience of those navigating

[45:27] infertility often quietly and

[45:28] with great courage.

[45:28] Too many still face barriers to

[45:32] care including cost and limited

[45:33] access to treatment.

[45:33] This week is about raising

[45:37] awareness, reducing stigma and

[45:38] making sure people feel seen

[45:42] and supported.

[45:43] Lastly items five for Delta

[45:43] Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha

[45:47] Safe Fraternity Inc. Day.

[45:47] I'm proud to be here not just

[45:52] as a council member but as a

[45:52] lifetime member of Kappa Alpha

[45:53] psi Fraternity Inc. An

[45:57] organization that helped shape

[45:57] the man I am today.

[46:02] My time I was initiated spring

[46:06] in 1994 at the btk chapter of

[46:07] Hampton University.

[46:08] And I must say being a member

[46:11] of this organization has helped

[46:12] to ground me in discipline,

[46:13] accountability, service.

[46:15] And these are the values that I

[46:20] carry every day.

[46:21] When I look at Delta Epsilon

[46:21] chapter here in San Diego, i

[46:24] see that same commitment.

[46:25] Today we recognize the Delta

[46:26] Epsilon chapter's legacy of

[46:29] leadership and impact in

[46:30] the city of San Diego.

[46:33] Celebrating 75 years of service

[46:34] in the city of San Diego.

[46:38] This chapter has produced

[46:38] leaders across education law,

[46:39] public service and more

[46:43] including former council member

[46:44] George l Stevens.

[46:47] A 1953 initiate who represented

[46:47] District four a legacy I am

[46:51] proud to carry forward today.

[46:51] They've done the work, mentored

[46:55] young men and created real

[46:56] opportunities for those coming

[46:56] behind them.

[46:57] You can see that impact across

[47:01] this city in the lives that

[47:02] have been shaped and the doors

[47:02] that have been opened.

[47:06] So today again I want to say

[47:06] congratulations on 75 years and

[47:10] here's to continuing to build

[47:11] lead and set the standard for

[47:11] the next generation.

[47:25] Campbell.

[47:27] Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

[47:31] I just as a family physician I

[47:32] really should say a few words

[47:33] about National Infertility

[47:33] Awareness Week.

[47:36] I'm so delighted that families

[47:37] that are facing these problems

[47:41] are able to be helped by

[47:41] medical science.

[47:42] And let us hope that we

[47:43] continue to advance so that it

[47:46] isn't quite so difficult is it

[47:47] as it is, you have to be

[47:48] extremely brave to go through

[47:51] this.

[47:51] Thank you To those families

[47:55] that do and to those who who

[47:56] who step up and try this.

[49:25] Acknowledging their experiences

[49:29] and important step towards

[49:29] building a more supportive and

[49:30] aware community for all.

[49:33] Another important step is

[49:34] making sure individuals have

[49:34] access to the proper resources

[49:38] and support systems for those

[49:39] navigating the challenges of

[50:36] Heidi who will identify with

[57:47] .

[57:52] >> Okay, back to council

[57:52] business.

[57:53] We will now proceed with

[57:56] the approval of the consent

[57:57] items But first I will turn to

[57:58] MR. Cote as advisor from

[58:01] the mayor's office for a

[58:01] statement.

[58:02] Thank you.

[58:02] Council PRESIDENT.

[58:04] I do have statements on two

[58:05] items quickly on item 113 there

[58:09] has been a correction made to

[58:09] the staff report and

[58:10] the resolution for the Youth

[58:11] Commission appointment.

[58:14] It has been corrected from

[58:15] Council District four Webster

[58:15] to Council District one at La

[58:18] Hoya.

[58:19] And then on item 100 on

[58:22] FEBRUARY 23rd the Council

[58:23] approved the third addendum to

[58:23] the third amended and restated

[58:24] management agreement between

[58:27] the city and the Convention

[58:28] center due to an administrative

[58:31] error An earlier version of

[58:32] the third addendum that did not

[58:33] include all of the language

[58:33] that the city and

[58:34] the Convention center had

[58:37] agreed to and which

[58:37] the Convention Center

[58:38] Corporation's board approved

[58:41] was uploaded with the materials

[58:41] for that item.

[58:42] The final agreed upon version

[58:45] of the third addendum was

[58:46] included when this item 1 to 80

[58:46] on JANUARY 29th and was

[58:49] described in the staff report

[58:50] when it was presented to

[58:51] council in FEBRUARY.

[58:51] The final version is uploaded

[58:54] correctly with this item today.

[58:55] So again this is the version

[58:56] that was approved by

[58:59] the convention center by

[59:00] committee but was incorrectly

[59:00] uploaded when it came to

[59:04] council the last time.

[59:04] All right.

[59:05] Thank you sir for those

[59:06] corrections and clarifying

[59:09] statements.

[1:01:40] individuals please come forward

[1:01:40] to the front row in the yellow

[1:01:43] reserved seats and the other

[1:01:44] seats Bethany Case, Luis

[1:01:48] Guerrero, Patricia Mondragon

[1:01:53] Cristoforo Gomez Oh Myra Yousef

[1:01:54] and Romo Abdi if you can all

[1:01:58] please come forward to

[1:01:59] the front row Bethany case if

[1:01:59] you can please come to

[1:02:00] the microphone.

[1:02:01] You're speaking on item one

[1:02:06] seven.

[1:02:06] >> Good morning.

[1:02:07] My name is Bethany Case.

[1:02:11] I'm the senior community

[1:02:11] relations facilitator at

[1:02:12] Southwest Middle School.

[1:02:15] I facilitate our State

[1:02:16] Community Schools grant which

[1:02:17] aims to transform our school

[1:02:20] into a community hub.

[1:02:21] I'm here to support the Grove

[1:02:21] Neighborhood Park.

[1:02:24] There are several large

[1:02:25] apartment complexes within

[1:02:25] walking distance of the park.

[1:02:26] And because many of our

[1:02:29] students live in these

[1:02:30] complexes they are deprived of

[1:02:30] space to play, pick up games

[1:02:31] and gather with friends.

[1:02:34] They don't have a mall nearby

[1:02:35] to hang out and they end up

[1:02:36] finding places that are unsafe

[1:02:39] or where they are unwelcome.

[1:02:40] The area surrounding the park

[1:02:40] doesn't have open space for

[1:02:43] the community to gather.

[1:02:44] And because of the pollution at

[1:02:45] the beach, the large free area

[1:02:48] that large free area of

[1:02:49] recreation is not safely

[1:02:49] available.

[1:02:50] Additionally we have an

[1:02:53] incredible before and after

[1:02:54] school program called Hope who

[1:02:55] will be able to use this space

[1:02:57] to expand programing Expanded

[1:02:58] programing helps keep students

[1:02:59] who's homeschooled Southwest

[1:03:02] Middle school from going

[1:03:03] elsewhere and it brings

[1:03:03] students from outside of our

[1:03:07] zoning onto our campus which

[1:03:08] shrinking enrollment.

[1:03:08] >> This is a huge benefit for

[1:03:09] them.

[1:03:15] Thank you so much Luis Guerra

[1:03:16] Good morning.

[1:03:16] My name is Luis Cara.

[1:03:20] I am the advocacy and external

[1:03:20] relations director at

[1:03:21] the Immigrant Defenders Law

[1:03:22] Center, the largest nonprofit

[1:03:25] deportation defense

[1:03:25] organization in California.

[1:03:26] Proudly serving the San Diego

[1:03:27] immigrant community.

[1:03:30] I'm here in strong support of

[1:03:31] the passing of the Due Process

[1:03:31] and Safety ordinance.

[1:03:35] We want to think council member

[1:03:36] Shawn Isla Rivera for listening

[1:03:36] to the community and working

[1:03:39] collaboratively to bring this

[1:03:40] forward.

[1:03:40] This ordinance provides

[1:03:41] critical protections for our

[1:03:44] most vulnerable neighbors in

[1:03:44] much needed clarity for our

[1:03:49] city employees by setting clear

[1:03:49] limits on involvement in

[1:03:50] immigration and immigration

[1:03:54] enforcement especially at a

[1:03:55] time where are when we're

[1:03:59] seeing extraordinary abuses of

[1:03:59] power at the federal level.

[1:04:00] We urge you to support this

[1:04:00] ordinance.

[1:04:04] Thank you, Patricia And

[1:04:09] Patricia, you have time people

[1:04:10] seeing your time Erin somewhat

[1:04:10] somewhat too aggressive.

[1:04:13] Thank you.

[1:04:14] And Jessie Schmidt, thank you.

[1:04:14] You'll have three minutes.

[1:04:15] Please proceed.

[1:04:18] Thank you.

[1:04:19] Good morning.

[1:04:19] Council members Patricia Mulder

[1:04:20] I one regional policy manager

[1:04:22] for Alliance San Diego.

[1:04:23] I'm here to express our strong

[1:04:28] support from Alliance San Diego

[1:04:28] for the Due Process and Safety

[1:04:29] Ordinance.

[1:04:32] This ordinance is about

[1:04:33] upholding the most basic

[1:04:33] promise our city can make to

[1:04:37] its residents that everyone

[1:04:38] deserves to be treated with

[1:04:42] fairness, dignity and respect

[1:04:43] no matter who they are or where

[1:04:44] they came from.

[1:04:47] It reinforces our shared values

[1:04:48] of justice and equality by

[1:04:51] ensuring that city departments

[1:04:52] and contractors respect

[1:04:56] people's rights and due process

[1:04:56] Right now that due process our

[1:05:01] safety and our rights are under

[1:05:01] threat.

[1:05:02] San Diego has seen a threefold

[1:05:06] increase in immigration arrests

[1:05:06] ,arrests that have led to

[1:05:07] family separation and a

[1:05:11] significant increase in

[1:05:12] the detention of children.

[1:05:12] Residents are afraid to leave

[1:05:16] their homes even immigrants who

[1:05:17] have lived here for decades or

[1:05:20] with legal status are feel

[1:05:21] fearful that they could be

[1:05:22] targeted or separated from

[1:05:25] their loved ones.

[1:05:26] This fear erodes public trust

[1:05:30] and makes our city less safe.

[1:05:31] The Due Process and safety

[1:05:35] audit helps rebuild public

[1:05:36] trust by setting clear limits

[1:05:37] on how city resources are used

[1:05:40] and by requiring transparency

[1:05:41] when federal agencies operate

[1:05:42] in our communities.

[1:05:45] By aligning the cal with

[1:05:46] the California Values Act, it

[1:05:49] ensures that San Diego is doing

[1:05:50] its part to uphold the due

[1:05:55] process and public safety of

[1:05:55] our residents.

[1:05:56] >> And in reporting on Joint

[1:05:59] Task Force's clarifies the San

[1:06:00] Diego Police Department's role

[1:06:00] when immigration enforcement

[1:06:04] occurs and requires federal

[1:06:04] agents to have judicial

[1:06:09] warrants before entering public

[1:06:09] spaces.

[1:06:10] These are practical, lawful

[1:06:14] steps to protect everyone's

[1:06:14] rights while strengthening

[1:06:15] community safety.

[1:06:19] Equally important,

[1:06:19] the ordinance protects

[1:06:23] the privacy and freedom of all

[1:06:23] San Diego since it prohibits

[1:06:24] the sharing of data based on

[1:06:28] protected activity or

[1:06:28] characteristics and safeguards

[1:06:32] Reproductive rights free speech

[1:06:33] and personal autonomy.

[1:06:33] >> These protections are

[1:06:37] essential to a healthy

[1:06:38] democracy and to a safe city

[1:06:42] Passing the Due Process and

[1:06:43] Safety ordinance is about

[1:06:44] leading with courage.

[1:06:48] It's about ensuring our city

[1:06:48] operates with integrity,

[1:06:52] transparency and compassion.

[1:06:53] It tells every resident San

[1:06:53] Diego will stand up for your

[1:06:56] rights.

[1:06:57] Thank you Council member

[1:06:57] Cornelia Rivera for your

[1:07:01] dedication in passing this

[1:07:02] ordinance.

[1:07:02] Working with advocates and

[1:07:06] community and reaffirming San

[1:07:06] Diego's commitment to justice,

[1:07:11] accountability and equal

[1:07:11] protection for all, we urge

[1:07:12] the Council to pass the due

[1:07:17] process and safety ordinance

[1:07:17] today.

[1:07:17] >> Thank you.

[1:07:18] Thank you.

[1:07:21] Cristoforo Gomez.

[1:07:22] You have time to buy a Marco

[1:07:22] Briones.

[1:07:22] Thank you.

[1:07:25] You'll have two minutes.

[1:07:26] >> Good morning, council

[1:07:26] members.

[1:07:27] My name is Cristoforo Gomez and

[1:07:30] I'm an organizer with the San

[1:07:30] Diego and Imperial Counties

[1:07:31] Labor Council.

[1:07:33] We represent over 130 unions

[1:07:33] and 200,000 working families

[1:07:34] across the county.

[1:07:37] We're also here as proud

[1:07:38] members of the San Diego

[1:07:38] Immigrants Rights Consortium.

[1:07:39] So first I want to thank

[1:07:43] Councilmember Eli Rivera and

[1:07:43] his team for their work on

[1:07:44] the due process to safety

[1:07:46] ordinance and to the rest of

[1:07:47] the council for moving it to

[1:07:47] this point.

[1:07:48] We are in a moment where it's

[1:07:51] truly incumbent on local

[1:07:52] governments to do everything in

[1:07:53] their power to protect their

[1:07:53] constituents.

[1:07:57] Our workers and their families

[1:07:57] from the terror and violence of

[1:07:58] this federal administration.

[1:08:01] And so we think the council for

[1:08:02] joining in on a regional effort

[1:08:02] to do just that.

[1:08:06] So we urge your support today

[1:08:07] to vote yes on the due process

[1:08:07] safety ordinance.

[1:08:08] Thank you.

[1:08:11] Thank you.

[1:08:11] If I can have the following

[1:08:12] individuals please come up to

[1:08:13] the front row as well.

[1:08:16] Well Tazeen these are.

[1:08:16] Come up to the microphone and

[1:08:17] then we have Amira Sophie Ramo

[1:08:22] of the Anita Oceanic Turner

[1:08:22] Ramo Abdi.

[1:08:29] I think that's a that's a dope.

[1:08:30] Amir is also a Jew.

[1:08:33] After that Andrea Irving

[1:08:34] allegedly Audra we trend and

[1:08:38] it's say Calderon Vargas If you

[1:08:39] can all please come up to

[1:08:42] the front row.

[1:08:43] >> Tazeen please go to

[1:08:47] the microphone.

[1:08:48] Okay.

[1:08:48] Good morning council members.

[1:08:51] My name is to Zionism and I'm

[1:08:52] here on behalf of the Citigroup

[1:08:53] Immigrants Rights Consortium.

[1:08:56] When due process is abandoned,

[1:08:57] communities are left to live

[1:08:57] under fear rather than the law.

[1:09:01] Families become afraid to

[1:09:02] report crime.

[1:09:02] Workers avoid public spaces.

[1:09:06] People live with a constant

[1:09:07] threat that their rights can be

[1:09:07] taken away any minute.

[1:09:11] Just based on the way they

[1:09:11] look.

[1:09:12] This kind of environment does

[1:09:12] not make anyone safer.

[1:09:15] It destabilizes entire

[1:09:16] neighborhoods and erodes trust

[1:09:20] in every level of government.

[1:09:21] Local governments cannot turn a

[1:09:22] blind eye when federal agencies

[1:09:25] engage in unconscious

[1:09:26] delusional conduct.

[1:09:27] My I have been a 25 year U.S.

[1:09:31] Citizen and today I carry my

[1:09:31] passport card with me

[1:09:32] everywhere because I am afraid

[1:09:36] of being taken deported without

[1:09:36] due process.

[1:09:40] This is why institutions need

[1:09:41] to ensure that due process is

[1:09:42] exercised at every level of

[1:09:42] government.

[1:09:45] And you my friends, are

[1:09:46] responsible for making sure

[1:09:47] that San Diego City practices

[1:09:47] it on a daily basis.

[1:09:51] Thank you.

[1:09:51] >> o'mara Yes.

[1:09:52] If you have time ceded to you

[1:09:56] by Patricia Serrano Patricia if

[1:09:56] you can.

[1:09:56] Thank you.

[1:09:57] You'll have two minutes.

[1:10:00] Please proceed.

[1:10:00] Thank you.

[1:10:01] My name is Myra Safi with Pena.

[1:10:05] I'm here today to express our

[1:10:06] deep gratitude to you all and

[1:10:06] especially Councilmember Ella

[1:10:09] Rivera for bringing this due

[1:10:10] process and safety ordinance

[1:10:10] forward.

[1:10:15] When the community need it

[1:10:16] needs someone to like stand

[1:10:16] with us, Councilmember.

[1:10:19] You're always there and we

[1:10:20] appreciate that even when it's

[1:10:21] not the most popular opinion

[1:10:21] you're always there and you

[1:10:24] work with community.

[1:10:25] So I really want to thank you

[1:10:25] and all of you for initially

[1:10:29] getting it passed And now we're

[1:10:30] finally here at the other end

[1:10:30] to the finish line.

[1:10:34] So thank you all for that.

[1:10:35] And the Trump administration

[1:10:35] continues his attack on

[1:10:39] immigrant communities and all

[1:10:40] vulnerable communities.

[1:10:41] Now's the time more than ever

[1:10:44] that we need an ordinance like

[1:10:44] this in place.

[1:10:45] Honestly, I wish we had it a

[1:10:46] year ago because it would have

[1:10:49] provided valuable information

[1:10:49] to us today.

[1:10:50] Right.

[1:10:54] Our local city and our police

[1:10:59] department need transparency as

[1:11:00] to what is happening and what

[1:11:00] and which partnerships exist

[1:11:04] with the federal administration

[1:11:05] as they continue to attack our

[1:11:05] communities.

[1:11:09] So we're really excited that

[1:11:10] this ordinance is coming into

[1:11:10] fruition now.

[1:11:14] It will provide us valuable

[1:11:15] information but I hope we also

[1:11:17] see it as a first step, right

[1:11:18] that this is the first step

[1:11:19] that council can take to

[1:11:19] support immigrant communities

[1:11:23] lgbt communities vulnerable to

[1:11:24] other vulnerable communities

[1:11:25] Muslim communities like mine

[1:11:28] who are also under attack with

[1:11:29] this administration.

[1:11:29] You know, we have asked time

[1:11:34] and time again for the city to

[1:11:34] end its contract with Floc

[1:11:38] because our data is not safe

[1:11:39] with a company that continues

[1:11:39] to collude with the Trump

[1:11:43] administration that continues

[1:11:44] that collaboration on the back

[1:11:44] end.

[1:11:45] We have seen that no matter

[1:11:48] what we try to do at a local

[1:11:49] level to keep our data safe.

[1:11:50] We cannot keep us safe with

[1:11:54] Floc so we can we ask for you

[1:11:57] all to continue to see this as

[1:11:57] the first step but to really

[1:11:58] take other steps to ensure that

[1:12:02] our communities are protected.

[1:12:02] >> Thank you.

[1:12:12] Raimo Abdi.

[1:12:12] >> Hi.

[1:12:13] Good morning.

[1:12:18] My name is Rama Abdi, Director

[1:12:18] of Organizing with Pana.

[1:12:19] I'm here again to support

[1:12:22] Express my organizational

[1:12:23] support for due process And

[1:12:23] thank you Council member

[1:12:28] Chinelo for supporting these

[1:12:28] and always standing with our

[1:12:29] community.

[1:12:29] This ordinance is about

[1:12:34] protecting people who are

[1:12:34] already caring so much.

[1:12:35] It stand with those who are

[1:12:37] targeted or afraid.

[1:12:38] People seeking reproductive

[1:12:39] health care, our immigration,

[1:12:43] our immigrant communities,

[1:12:44] people living with

[1:12:44] disabilities, religious

[1:12:45] minorities and other who just

[1:12:46] want to live in peace and

[1:12:48] dignity.

[1:12:49] For San Diego and this is more

[1:12:50] than just a policy it is

[1:12:51] the first step towards being

[1:12:54] safe again.

[1:12:55] It helps clear its health, set

[1:12:55] clear boundaries to our

[1:13:00] community.

[1:13:00] Know that.

[1:13:01] Know what to expect especially

[1:13:01] when it comes to how the police

[1:13:04] department respond to

[1:13:04] immigration enforcement.

[1:13:05] It brings some light and

[1:13:06] transparency The situation that

[1:13:10] have caused fear and confusion

[1:13:10] for too long.

[1:13:11] At the end of the day this is

[1:13:15] about people is about making

[1:13:15] sure everyone no matter what.

[1:13:16] Thank you for that concluding

[1:13:17] comment.

[1:13:22] Thank you, Anita.

[1:13:29] >> Hi, my name is Anita with

[1:13:29] Cynic Turner.

[1:13:30] I didn't know I was going to

[1:13:30] speak.

[1:13:31] I thought we're just going to

[1:13:33] be a proclamation and everybody

[1:13:34] votes on it.

[1:13:34] But I have a few things to say.

[1:13:38] I'll keep it short.

[1:13:39] At a time when our nation is

[1:13:43] experiencing lawlessness

[1:13:44] constitutional violations,

[1:13:48] Democratic violate law

[1:13:49] violations it is so refreshing

[1:13:50] to think that the city Council

[1:13:54] is bringing this up and try to

[1:13:55] do the right thing.

[1:13:55] And special thank you to you

[1:13:59] for leading this And I hope

[1:14:04] that you and and the mayor will

[1:14:05] do the right thing and sign

[1:14:06] the due process and safety

[1:14:09] ordinance which protects and

[1:14:10] implements everyone's civil

[1:14:15] rights and ensures that our

[1:14:16] city is no longer complicit in

[1:14:20] unlawful or discriminatory

[1:14:21] discriminatory enforcement.

[1:14:21] Thank you.

[1:14:28] Thank you, Andrea.

[1:14:29] >> We're going to need your

[1:14:35] time.

[1:14:35] >> You're speaking on several

[1:14:38] items One, two, one one, 221

[1:14:39] over 1271111 1619 and 119

[1:14:42] you'll have three and I'd like

[1:14:43] to respond to that.

[1:14:43] >> Thank you.

[1:14:43] Okay.

[1:14:44] Thank you.

[1:14:47] So the hypocrisy is quite

[1:14:47] interesting because we talk

[1:14:48] about due process and we claim

[1:14:52] that it's for all which this is

[1:14:53] only being brought forward due

[1:14:54] to undocumented immigrants.

[1:14:58] And as a victim of somebody who

[1:14:59] had no due process and also has

[1:15:03] very close friends who have

[1:15:04] also been beat up by

[1:15:04] the sheriff.

[1:15:09] Andrea Ebbing was just

[1:15:09] assaulted brutally by the San

[1:15:10] Diego Police Department and

[1:15:15] nobody is up in arms about it.

[1:15:16] It is very disturbing to see

[1:15:20] that It's like if you are a

[1:15:20] certain demographic or if you

[1:15:21] check this box then it matters.

[1:15:25] >> But we don't even have due

[1:15:25] process here.

[1:15:26] That's what's so crazy And

[1:15:26] people are complaining about it

[1:15:30] and it's like Welcome to

[1:15:30] America.

[1:15:31] That's the way it works here.

[1:15:36] And so until you guys are going

[1:15:36] to make it equitable and

[1:15:39] inclusive to the people in your

[1:15:45] own community, Raul can peel.

[1:15:46] >> a woman was brutally

[1:15:46] assaulted at the Linda Vista

[1:15:50] skate park.

[1:15:51] There are no cameras there.

[1:15:55] There are no lighting.

[1:15:56] There have been four murders

[1:15:59] there to within two days.

[1:16:00] And it's like how can women be

[1:16:05] assaulted like this that are in

[1:16:06] your own community and you guys

[1:16:10] turn a blind eye if that with

[1:16:11] an undocumented woman if she

[1:16:11] was undocumented and that

[1:16:16] happened and wind up at

[1:16:17] the skate park you guys would

[1:16:17] be.

[1:16:18] >> It would be all over the

[1:16:20] news.

[1:16:21] So it is so appalling and just

[1:16:27] offensive to have that kind of

[1:16:27] stuff happen to you.

[1:16:31] And nothing gets done about it

[1:16:32] but it gets brushed under

[1:16:32] the rug.

[1:16:33] >> In fact the San Diego Police

[1:16:34] Department said I am a threat

[1:16:38] to them because I was assaulted

[1:16:39] by a sheriff.

[1:16:41] I still walk with the cane four

[1:16:47] years later.

[1:16:47] >> There's no due process.

[1:16:48] And when you guys sit here and

[1:16:50] you act like you care about

[1:16:56] people that prove it, prove it.

[1:16:57] The people in your own

[1:16:57] community should matter.

[1:17:01] No woman nobody should be

[1:17:02] assaulted like that brutally.

[1:17:07] And it's all for speaking out.

[1:17:08] >> I was speaking at a board of

[1:17:08] supervisors meeting and got

[1:17:14] drug out, had my head slammed

[1:17:14] into the ground, my back was

[1:17:15] met.

[1:17:15] I have dislocated ribs.

[1:17:18] I have nerve damage in my arms

[1:17:19] from him twisting my arm so

[1:17:19] bad.

[1:17:20] >> And you know what he tells

[1:17:24] me every time I have to see him

[1:17:24] at the Board of Supervisors.

[1:17:25] >> You're welcome.

[1:17:29] You're welcome for assaulting

[1:17:30] you And nothing happened to

[1:17:30] him.

[1:17:31] He got exonerated.

[1:17:31] I was told that I should have

[1:17:36] just complied because he had a

[1:17:36] badge.

[1:17:37] >> He wears a costume and I

[1:17:38] have been arrested there before

[1:17:41] for speaking publicly using my

[1:17:41] voice.

[1:17:42] And that is not the protocol

[1:17:46] that goes on.

[1:17:47] That man is proud of beating

[1:17:59] the out of me and driving one

[1:17:59] of 31291 14.

[1:18:00] You have three minutes.

[1:18:00] Please proceed.

[1:18:00] Thank you.

[1:18:04] I'd like to add 54 as well.

[1:18:05] My name is Andrea Irving

[1:18:05] speaking on due process first

[1:18:06] as well.

[1:18:09] I want to talk about a case

[1:18:09] which started about five years

[1:18:15] ago in which I was the victim

[1:18:15] in my children were I was

[1:18:16] strangled on video, had my head

[1:18:20] split open blood everywhere.

[1:18:21] My ex admitted to sdp and fda

[1:18:25] and Judge Paula Rosenstein who

[1:18:26] they now work directly with in

[1:18:26] drug care court for opioid

[1:18:32] distribution rehab kickbacks

[1:18:32] for Prop 36.

[1:18:33] The gentleman back here speak

[1:18:33] about Tent City.

[1:18:34] He's not wrong.

[1:18:37] He's right.

[1:18:38] That's correct.

[1:18:38] And to protect that enterprise

[1:18:44] which fentanyl deaths are

[1:18:44] uphill mill operation Elkhorn

[1:18:48] boulevard a psychiatry issuing

[1:18:49] injectable fentanyl and

[1:18:50] morphine DR. Prakash Batya

[1:18:54] that's who Summer Stephan used

[1:18:54] to commit.

[1:18:55] U.S. Attorney Nancy Sussman,

[1:19:01] the partner of my ex accused of

[1:19:02] Salerno pill mill operator

[1:19:03] 78,000 scription dead people

[1:19:05] and prisoners names homeless

[1:19:06] people in rehab Patients pick

[1:19:07] them up in non-emergency

[1:19:11] transport vehicles which

[1:19:11] the county awarded a $1.5

[1:19:12] million contract to under

[1:19:18] the name of Youth services.

[1:19:18] So these individuals I hope

[1:19:23] everybody Google those names

[1:19:24] are an enterprise.

[1:19:25] The rico enterprise due process

[1:19:25] is important because when

[1:19:29] felony charges go missing from

[1:19:30] the larger system and they

[1:19:31] choose to create a falsified

[1:19:35] case against me with motions in

[1:19:36] limine a which say there was

[1:19:40] never an order to be violated

[1:19:41] which they said I violated and

[1:19:41] that the jury should not know

[1:19:46] this information and then

[1:19:47] abandon my abducted children

[1:19:48] and me and tell me that we

[1:19:48] aren't the victims.

[1:19:52] I am the defendant and carry it

[1:19:53] on and don't allow me to get

[1:19:58] emergency brain surgery at

[1:19:58] Scripps La Hoya on NOVEMBER 4th

[1:20:03] but do issue a $100,000 warrant

[1:20:04] for me and then send me to Las

[1:20:04] Colinas for eight days when I

[1:20:08] have active shingles Extremely

[1:20:09] contagious And they wanted to

[1:20:14] deny me my antivirals for eight

[1:20:15] days in a row that were

[1:20:16] supposed to take four times a

[1:20:20] day and my antibiotics But they

[1:20:21] did give me a stool softener

[1:20:26] just to make fun of me.

[1:20:27] They thought my blood pressure

[1:20:28] was 210 over 110 tended to be

[1:20:32] medical care but also when I

[1:20:33] say this was fake I don't mean

[1:20:33] I'm not exaggerating.

[1:20:34] Here is a call from our bail

[1:20:39] bonds We just got the other day

[1:20:40] because they took Why did they

[1:20:40] take my bill away?

[1:20:45] They got hundred thousand

[1:20:45] dollars.

[1:20:46] >> They came up with my

[1:20:46] question.

[1:20:47] You were like really, really

[1:20:51] helpful And we're just like in

[1:20:52] part of piecing it together I

[1:20:52] just want to know it.

[1:20:53] I had like I'm really tortured

[1:21:01] And then I came up and read Why

[1:21:02] did they take my bill away?

[1:21:03] They got what they wanted to do

[1:21:06] by the way, your time your time

[1:21:08] has concluded.

[1:21:17] We trim back and have

[1:21:18] the following individuals

[1:21:19] Please come up to the front

[1:21:19] row.

[1:21:20] So I called around Burgos Guys

[1:21:23] Blair Beekman and Nicole Lilly.

[1:21:23] Please proceed.

[1:21:27] Hi, my name is DR. Director

[1:21:27] which is my organization work

[1:21:28] with a lot of immigrant women

[1:21:32] community all over counties

[1:21:33] Diego Recently we have to

[1:21:33] organize canvasing to support

[1:21:38] small businesses giving them

[1:21:39] information How to protect

[1:21:40] immigrant workers is a real

[1:21:46] fear in my community When you

[1:21:47] canvasing when I get missing in

[1:21:47] the neighborhood, when I come

[1:21:52] up to the people I can see them

[1:21:52] scaring away trying to hi

[1:21:53] because Asian people we learned

[1:21:56] what I have now just by I don't

[1:21:57] want my people to live like

[1:21:58] this in a country when it come

[1:22:03] to sick for for freedom for a

[1:22:03] live opportunity.

[1:22:04] So this is the best thing we

[1:22:05] can do for now to protect a

[1:22:09] region of people eventually

[1:22:17] celebrating diversity and you

[1:22:18] know it's a proper thing to do

[1:22:19] to government how governments

[1:22:21] to pull protect our people.

[1:22:22] >> So please pass that on and

[1:22:23] thank you.

[1:22:23] Thank you.

[1:22:26] Thank GOD that nobody's.

[1:22:27] >> Good morning.

[1:22:35] My name is DR. C.K. Color on

[1:22:36] Burgers and I'm here on behalf

[1:22:36] of the San Diego lgbt Community

[1:22:38] Center in support of item 54.

[1:22:39] Our center serves thousands of

[1:22:44] lgbt San Diego and many of whom

[1:22:44] are living in fear right now

[1:22:45] fear that their gender

[1:22:46] identity, their immigration

[1:22:49] status or their personal

[1:22:50] choices could make them a

[1:22:51] target of federal enforcement.

[1:22:56] This ordinance matters because

[1:22:57] it ensures that San Diego's own

[1:22:57] resources our city employees,

[1:22:58] our contractors, our police

[1:23:02] will not be used to harm

[1:23:02] the people we serve lgbtq

[1:23:03] people especially our

[1:23:08] transgender and immigrant

[1:23:09] community members deserve to

[1:23:09] access health care, go to work

[1:23:15] and live freely without fear.

[1:23:16] Please vote yes on item 54.

[1:23:17] Thank you Council member Ella

[1:23:20] Rivera for your leadership and

[1:23:21] standing with all vulnerable

[1:23:21] communities.

[1:23:22] Thank you.

[1:23:24] My apologies for misspelling

[1:23:25] misstated your name Blair

[1:23:37] Beekman I should have three

[1:23:37] minutes.

[1:23:37] Oh my apologies.

[1:23:38] Yeah thanks.

[1:23:39] I have a whole bunch of items.

[1:23:41] I put them all in one card for

[1:23:41] easier.

[1:23:42] Please proceed.

[1:23:42] Thank you.

[1:23:50] To speak first to Excuse me

[1:23:50] the item 50 photocopying I have

[1:23:51] about six items all together

[1:23:56] here Photocopying is a contract

[1:23:57] for about $5 million over five

[1:24:01] years It's about $900,000 a

[1:24:02] year.

[1:24:02] That to me is a bit strong for

[1:24:07] photocopying things for each

[1:24:07] year.

[1:24:08] I just wanted to note that and

[1:24:09] you had this up here before so

[1:24:13] it has to be brought back here

[1:24:14] for some reason.

[1:24:14] Good luck in addressing it.

[1:24:18] That needs to be questioned.

[1:24:19] Smart water meters You're doing

[1:24:24] a whole series of practices

[1:24:25] that is not just creating a new

[1:24:26] smart future for San Diego but

[1:24:26] it's how to involve

[1:24:30] the community in the process

[1:24:31] And you're really making those

[1:24:32] efforts and I hope we can

[1:24:36] continue this good effort so

[1:24:37] community can call into public

[1:24:38] utilities, have their questions

[1:24:42] answered.

[1:24:43] Council has been working really

[1:24:43] well on that.

[1:24:44] It's a community effort to

[1:24:44] build our tech future.

[1:24:49] Everyone it's not just you guys

[1:24:50] thinking you're high on

[1:24:50] the hog.

[1:24:51] Okay we're on that.

[1:24:54] This is a community effort of

[1:24:54] technology.

[1:24:55] It's not just you guys.

[1:24:56] With that said, thank you.

[1:25:00] On to item parks.

[1:25:00] I have three items that you

[1:25:01] talk about park issues 56 116

[1:25:08] and 107 When the park

[1:25:09] commissions get hired I hope

[1:25:09] they're considering

[1:25:10] the importance of

[1:25:14] accountability and data

[1:25:14] collection practices.

[1:25:19] When the Trump administration

[1:25:20] first came in, the San Diego

[1:25:21] Park system put kind of a

[1:25:24] hiatus and a hold on how they

[1:25:25] are Technology is working in

[1:25:25] their park systems.

[1:25:26] They took a break to kind of

[1:25:31] reassess how to move forward

[1:25:31] and I was an awesome idea.

[1:25:32] I think we're more reflective

[1:25:37] and responsible how we place

[1:25:38] tech in our park systems, learn

[1:25:39] to really talk about it clearly

[1:25:43] with the public and it's okay,

[1:25:44] it's safe.

[1:25:44] You feel it's unsafe for some

[1:25:48] reason is they don't fear

[1:25:49] the public in those

[1:25:49] conversations and without at

[1:25:53] least to item 54 Brown act

[1:25:53] issues that thank you it's a

[1:25:54] beautiful measure I think it

[1:25:59] works on the early Park

[1:26:00] Department ideas of how to

[1:26:00] address the future of the Trump

[1:26:01] administration and data

[1:26:05] collection and you guys are

[1:26:06] doing it with this item and I

[1:26:06] hope this item is a good

[1:26:11] beginning for, you know,

[1:26:12] current accountability.

[1:26:13] People take accountability.

[1:26:13] People want to work towards a

[1:26:17] future of a warrant for your

[1:26:17] things.

[1:26:18] I think this is a good start

[1:26:23] for that kind of question to be

[1:26:24] better asked So it's a great

[1:26:24] measure.

[1:26:24] Thank you.

[1:26:28] Pb People are being rehired

[1:26:29] reappointed Good luck to their

[1:26:30] continuing efforts that we talk

[1:26:35] more clearly about our care and

[1:26:35] our international affairs.

[1:26:41] Good luck that we really talked

[1:26:41] .

[1:26:42] >> You're more inclusive of an

[1:26:43] international level and how to

[1:26:43] talk about it.

[1:26:47] Thank you.

[1:26:48] >> Nicole Lilly you have at

[1:26:49] times been ceded to you by

[1:26:53] sparking interest.

[1:26:53] Thank you.

[1:26:54] You'll have two minutes.

[1:26:54] Please proceed.

[1:26:55] Hello, My name is Nicole Lilly.

[1:26:57] I'm a 23 year old renter

[1:26:58] resident of District three and

[1:26:58] executive director of our Time

[1:27:03] to Act, a youth led nonprofit

[1:27:04] organizing powerful youth for a

[1:27:04] more inclusive, equitable and

[1:27:05] sustainable future.

[1:27:10] It is absolutely essential that

[1:27:10] you passed item 54 Our

[1:27:11] community is under attack and

[1:27:12] this ordinance affirms

[1:27:12] the city's responsibility to

[1:27:15] its residents.

[1:27:16] This council is not powerless

[1:27:16] in the face of extreme threats

[1:27:17] we face.

[1:27:22] I want to express gratitude to

[1:27:23] Councilmember Ella Rivera, this

[1:27:23] office for their leadership on

[1:27:24] this action and in getting this

[1:27:27] to be across county effort

[1:27:28] across the city today and

[1:27:29] across the county, families who

[1:27:29] are wondering not only how they

[1:27:33] will pay their rent, keep

[1:27:34] the water and electricity on

[1:27:35] and food on the table but also

[1:27:35] whether or not it's even safe

[1:27:40] to leave their home to go to

[1:27:40] work and school and get their

[1:27:41] basic needs met.

[1:27:41] That is an unacceptable reality

[1:27:46] And this ordinance does work to

[1:27:46] actually protect those families

[1:27:47] ability to live.

[1:27:50] This item is only a first step.

[1:27:51] This Council must go further to

[1:27:52] protect our community.

[1:27:56] We must cancel or contract with

[1:27:56] block.

[1:27:57] We must stop investing more in

[1:27:57] surveillance and in policing of

[1:27:58] our communities and more into

[1:28:02] the basic needs of our

[1:28:02] communities.

[1:28:03] Every single day families are

[1:28:04] struggling to live.

[1:28:08] They are waking up and

[1:28:09] wondering where their next meal

[1:28:09] is going to come from,

[1:28:10] wondering whether or not

[1:28:11] they're going to be able to

[1:28:14] make rent this month.

[1:28:14] The least we could do is

[1:28:15] protect their due process and

[1:28:16] their safety across our city.

[1:28:20] I sincerely urge you to pass

[1:28:21] this ordinance and continue to

[1:28:22] seeing that your hands are not

[1:28:22] tied.

[1:28:26] You are responsible to us as

[1:28:27] your constituents.

[1:28:28] You have a responsibility to

[1:28:28] community with the power that

[1:28:29] you are given as elected

[1:28:32] officials and I sincerely hope

[1:28:33] that you consider that going

[1:28:33] into the budget season and

[1:28:34] where you allocate your money

[1:28:39] especially in consideration to

[1:28:39] surveillance and policing of

[1:28:40] our communities this is only a

[1:28:41] first step and I urge you to

[1:28:41] pass this item.

[1:28:45] Thank you.

[1:28:46] Thank you.

[1:28:47] I'm so sorry The five minute

[1:32:07] But thank you very much

[1:32:13] everyone for listening.

[1:32:13] >> Well, thank you.

[1:32:14] Next is Katherine Rhodes.

[1:32:18] If you can please join me after

[1:32:18] that is Hector and then

[1:32:19] Patricia Dharma please let me

[1:32:20] know which item of items you're

[1:32:23] speaking to.

[1:32:24] >> Let me thank you.

[1:32:28] Items 5554 101 of five.

[1:32:28] Please proceed.

[1:32:29] Wonderful.

[1:32:33] First for item 54 the due

[1:32:33] process.

[1:32:34] Thank you so much for bringing

[1:32:34] this forward.

[1:32:38] Yes, people need to be able to

[1:32:39] feel safe and you know

[1:32:39] the faith based community if

[1:32:40] you can make sure that they get

[1:32:45] involved too They want to help

[1:32:45] you know they want to help keep

[1:32:50] people safe and you know, keep

[1:32:50] families together.

[1:32:54] The one four item 55 East

[1:32:55] Village green I'm hoping that

[1:32:55] you put any of these cost

[1:32:56] increases on the recognize

[1:33:01] obligation payment schedule for

[1:33:02] the successor agency to

[1:33:02] the redevelopment agency

[1:33:07] because this was a line item in

[1:33:07] the right and all you have to

[1:33:08] do in order to have the full

[1:33:09] $84 million paid for is put it

[1:33:13] on the right.

[1:33:14] But did you do that?

[1:33:15] I don't know what or what's

[1:33:15] the funding source for this?

[1:33:16] I'm not sure.

[1:33:19] So anyway, back in 2014

[1:33:19] the cost was going to be $45

[1:33:20] million.

[1:33:25] Now it's going to be $84

[1:33:25] million.

[1:33:26] So it's you know, almost double

[1:33:31] not exactly double the cost but

[1:33:32] you know, a very large cost

[1:33:32] increase for what I don't know.

[1:33:37] So you know, 12 years the costs

[1:33:41] somehow escalated and also

[1:33:42] $34.4 million was money that

[1:33:43] came from the successor agency

[1:33:48] Housing agency, affordable

[1:33:49] housing funds.

[1:33:49] And what happened is we bought

[1:33:53] property on an active fault

[1:33:54] When I told you you can't have

[1:33:55] it on the active fault So now

[1:33:56] you're having a park in open

[1:33:59] space which is what you have to

[1:34:00] do But we haven't gotten back

[1:34:01] the 34.4 million And so I think

[1:34:01] that you should put that on

[1:34:05] the ramps also to get it back

[1:34:06] for the Affordable Housing Fund

[1:34:10] for number 100 of

[1:34:10] the Convention Center

[1:34:11] Corporation.

[1:34:11] Remember in nine years if they

[1:34:16] don't have a convention center

[1:34:16] expansion project you're going

[1:34:17] to lose that 3.25% of the total

[1:34:21] that 77 million that's coming

[1:34:22] in if you don't have a solution

[1:34:22] for that And of course I have

[1:34:26] the solution for that which is

[1:34:27] a ballot measure that hopefully

[1:34:28] you guys will put forward And

[1:34:32] that way the it includes 1% for

[1:34:33] the convention center.

[1:34:37] So I think they're getting like

[1:34:38] $45 million now It'll get

[1:34:39] bumped down to like 35 million

[1:34:45] but with all the other things

[1:34:45] they should actually be able

[1:34:46] will make the other two if

[1:34:47] the other changes go through

[1:34:49] Also.

[1:34:50] So maybe you guys could

[1:34:51] somebody can discuss that with

[1:34:51] them because nobody's talked

[1:34:55] about it then you have

[1:34:56] the three surplus properties.

[1:34:56] Two of them seems like we

[1:34:57] should just give them to

[1:34:57] the San Diego Housing

[1:34:58] Commission.

[1:35:00] How come the San Diego Housing

[1:35:01] Commission doesn't want to use

[1:35:02] two of these empty lots to

[1:35:02] build a condo complex?

[1:35:07] You can actually do this.

[1:35:08] Why don't you keep the property

[1:35:08] yourself and actually build

[1:35:13] something And that's what I

[1:35:13] would like to do.

[1:35:14] And the other one there's one

[1:35:18] property that is close to an

[1:35:19] open space and it seems like

[1:35:25] it's on a on a right next to

[1:35:25] open space.

[1:35:26] So I would look for that and

[1:35:27] maybe see if you could make

[1:35:30] that into a little pocket park

[1:35:31] for the neighborhood on

[1:35:31] Fairmont Avenue.

[1:35:37] Thank you so much Your time has

[1:35:37] concluded.

[1:35:38] There are three speakers with

[1:35:39] their hands raised in the five

[1:35:41] minute timer concluded only

[1:35:42] those three speakers will be

[1:35:42] taken If you were not able to

[1:35:43] meet the first time please feel

[1:35:48] free to send in comments to

[1:35:49] City Clerk at any given that'll

[1:35:50] be distributed to the council.

[1:35:50] Hector if you can please unmute

[1:35:52] after that is Patricia Dorman

[1:36:00] and 7499 Hector please unmute

[1:36:00] Hector again very low on

[1:36:04] the status committee.

[1:36:05] >> I hope these guys have a

[1:36:06] couple of men on on the board

[1:36:06] there.

[1:36:07] I'm sorry can you hold on a

[1:36:07] second?

[1:36:11] Which item or items do you wish

[1:36:11] to speak to?

[1:36:12] A 54 and the status of women I

[1:36:16] forget the number now.

[1:36:17] Okay so I'll be two minutes.

[1:36:18] Please proceed.

[1:36:18] Okay, thanks.

[1:36:23] On Saturday women I wonder if

[1:36:23] there's any men on the board.

[1:36:24] That would be a good indication

[1:36:29] of the perspective of men's

[1:36:29] perspective on the status of

[1:36:30] women.

[1:36:30] I think I'm looking at it's

[1:36:36] probably just not women but I

[1:36:36] want to get some men on

[1:36:39] the board next time This time

[1:36:40] and I'm 54 This is what we call

[1:36:45] it when Joe Biden and Kamala

[1:36:46] Harris said you said on the tv

[1:36:47] and said don't come, don't

[1:36:47] come.

[1:36:53] The trouble with that is they

[1:36:53] came they ignored our laws.

[1:36:58] They came with the trouble that

[1:36:59] as to Trump he wants to come

[1:37:01] and he's come and that's it.

[1:37:09] So the left you can in council

[1:37:15] chambers but you're muted I'm

[1:37:16] not sure I'm firm yet I did go

[1:37:19] and Trump might even have a

[1:37:20] bounty on these guys because

[1:37:24] they're going to charge $1,000

[1:37:25] a day if an illegal alien has

[1:37:26] to be in here every day.

[1:37:30] So that's a lot of money, man.

[1:37:31] So it could be why don't you

[1:37:35] guys instead of living in fear

[1:37:36] just pack up your bags and go

[1:37:36] home.

[1:37:37] Don't come in here anymore.

[1:37:43] We got to redo our whole thing

[1:37:43] But a good border now we got to

[1:37:44] move on with America Now all

[1:37:48] these other guys these guys

[1:37:49] didn't killed by legal aliens

[1:37:50] and the illegal aliens are

[1:37:54] living in our houses taking up

[1:37:55] our rent, driving the price of

[1:37:55] rent up.

[1:37:59] We get rid of 100,000 of them.

[1:37:59] They don't lower the rent.

[1:38:00] It'll make the freeways less

[1:38:04] crowded.

[1:38:05] They'll be altogether better in

[1:38:05] San Diego if we just deport

[1:38:10] them all rapidly and everyone

[1:38:11] can cry about it and then we

[1:38:12] can just get on with living

[1:38:17] with it with our American

[1:38:23] citizenship but not that sort.

[1:38:23] >> Your time is concluded

[1:38:24] Patricia There are many of you

[1:38:25] completely new after that our

[1:38:25] final.

[1:38:28] Speaker 749 Patricia Good

[1:38:28] morning to you.

[1:38:34] >> Counsel My name is the only

[1:38:35] sibling of Christopher d Amen.

[1:38:40] Can you please explain to those

[1:38:40] of 23 Excuse me ma'am please

[1:38:41] Ma'am, can you please let me

[1:38:46] know which item or items you

[1:38:46] wish to speak to?

[1:38:47] Item 54 You'll have one minute.

[1:38:51] Let me reset your clock.

[1:38:52] Please proceed.

[1:38:52] I am the only civilian

[1:38:57] Christopher De Armond who was

[1:38:57] atrociously murdered by

[1:38:58] the police on JANUARY 20th,

[1:38:58] 2023.

[1:39:02] Well, I understand

[1:39:03] the importance of this

[1:39:04] ordinance and the need for its

[1:39:04] implementation in order to

[1:39:05] protect immigrants during ice

[1:39:08] encounters.

[1:39:09] I am curious to know how this

[1:39:10] ordinance will affect and

[1:39:10] protect people that continue to

[1:39:14] be unprotected for example as

[1:39:15] felons, people with priors or

[1:39:16] those who simply fit a certain

[1:39:20] stereotype The same racial

[1:39:20] profiling that's been happening

[1:39:21] since the Trump administration

[1:39:22] took office have been happening

[1:39:26] for decades on the streets

[1:39:26] racial profiling, targeting

[1:39:27] harassment, discrimination and

[1:39:28] the violation of civil and

[1:39:34] human rights But nothing new to

[1:39:34] southeast San Diego violence

[1:39:35] and other disparate communities

[1:39:38] that law enforcement claims to

[1:39:39] be up to no good.

[1:39:40] Just as the police did in my

[1:39:40] brother's case, my brother

[1:39:45] Christopher was available

[1:39:45] without a warrant on 17th

[1:39:46] Street accused of being a drug

[1:39:47] dealer because my dad's truck

[1:39:51] was too nice and shiny for

[1:39:52] the 81st neighborhood As acp pd

[1:39:53] stated no officers After my

[1:39:57] brother's driver's license I

[1:39:57] apologize Your time has

[1:39:58] concluded 7499 if you can

[1:39:58] please.

[1:40:09] And you please let me know

[1:40:10] which item or items you wish to

[1:40:10] speak to.

[1:40:11] >> But because it's not here

[1:40:12] I'd like to speak on 50 5152

[1:40:13] 112 and 163 minutes.

[1:40:18] >> Please proceed.

[1:40:19] >> 5051 and 52 These three

[1:40:23] items alone total over $7

[1:40:24] million in contract spending of

[1:40:24] the people's money.

[1:40:25] I don't know the details of

[1:40:29] these contracts but I do know

[1:40:30] for a fact that the city has a

[1:40:31] dismal history of overseeing

[1:40:35] other contracts Where I do know

[1:40:35] all of the detail.

[1:40:36] I urge all citizens and all

[1:40:41] citizen advocacy groups to get

[1:40:42] involved in digging into

[1:40:42] the details of these kinds of

[1:40:43] contracts.

[1:40:43] I know what I've witnessed with

[1:40:47] the Torrey Pines water Board

[1:40:47] under Todd Gloria and Joe

[1:40:48] LaCava.

[1:40:48] It's been abysmal and that's

[1:40:49] just one very, very little

[1:40:52] example.

[1:40:53] I suspect this city is riddled

[1:40:53] with insider contracts and

[1:40:54] gross abuse of the city's

[1:40:55] resources.

[1:41:00] Please find an area that

[1:41:00] interests you and dig into it.

[1:41:01] 112 appointment and

[1:41:02] reappointment to the airport's

[1:41:05] advisory committee.

[1:41:06] First of all there is no such

[1:41:07] thing as an advisory committee.

[1:41:10] The city charter Section 43 is

[1:41:11] very clear that there are two

[1:41:11] types of such groups.

[1:41:15] The charter section 43 eight

[1:41:16] defines what the city charter

[1:41:20] calls advisory boards.

[1:41:21] 43 a clearly defines

[1:41:22] the requirements and conditions

[1:41:22] of advisory boards.

[1:41:27] Similarly, 43 b of the City

[1:41:28] Charter defines what the city

[1:41:29] charter calls citizens

[1:41:29] committees.

[1:41:33] There is no such thing in

[1:41:34] the city charter as an advisory

[1:41:34] committee either an advisory

[1:41:39] board or a citizens committee.

[1:41:40] Period.

[1:41:40] Yes.

[1:41:41] Or you are appointing members

[1:41:42] to what you call an airport

[1:41:45] advisory committee.

[1:41:45] The city's blurring of these

[1:41:46] terms intentionally confuses

[1:41:46] our citizens.

[1:41:51] I can't understand how this

[1:41:52] mayor and city council are so

[1:41:52] inept that you can't even

[1:41:53] bother to read the city charter

[1:41:57] except when you want to

[1:41:58] circumvent it by creating for

[1:41:58] example, the Torrey Pines City

[1:42:03] Park Advisory Board under City

[1:42:04] Charter section 43 b which only

[1:42:04] defines Citizens Committee.

[1:42:09] Second, your lessee at the Port

[1:42:10] Pines Glider port is claimed in

[1:42:11] court that the Torrey Pines

[1:42:11] Glider port is an airport.

[1:42:15] Yet the airports advisory

[1:42:16] Committee has not provided any

[1:42:16] oversight of the property known

[1:42:17] as the Torrey Pines City Park.

[1:42:18] What's going on here?

[1:42:22] What is keeping the city from

[1:42:22] providing oversight of that

[1:42:23] park?

[1:42:23] Three The park and rec or state

[1:42:27] assets or the misnamed Airports

[1:42:28] Advisory Committee or

[1:42:28] the Torrey Pines City Park

[1:42:29] Advisory Board.

[1:42:32] Item 116 Park and Recreation

[1:42:32] Reappointment.

[1:42:33] The Park and Recreation Board

[1:42:34] has been ignoring its necessary

[1:42:38] role in ensuring the public

[1:42:39] safety and public access at

[1:42:40] the Torrey Pines City Park.

[1:42:45] Every time I've attempted to

[1:42:45] bring this matter to the Public

[1:42:46] Light report to the Park and

[1:42:47] Recreation Board I've been told

[1:42:50] to go see real estate assets

[1:42:51] and yet real estate assets

[1:42:51] claims that they just manage

[1:42:52] contracts and aren't involved

[1:42:53] in the management issues of

[1:42:55] the park.

[1:42:56] What kind of vetting process

[1:42:57] produces a Park and Recreation

[1:42:57] Board appointees who refuse to

[1:43:03] do their job with great

[1:43:03] disgust?

[1:43:03] >> Thank you.

[1:43:04] That concludes public comment

[1:43:05] on the consent agenda.

[1:43:09] Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

[1:43:09] >> All right.

[1:43:10] Thank you for that clerk.

[1:43:11] With that we'll turn it over to

[1:43:14] my colleagues for questions.

[1:43:14] >> Comments Entertain a motion

[1:43:15] and we will start with council

[1:43:20] member Eli Rivera.

[1:43:20] All right.

[1:43:21] Thank you, Council PRESIDENT.

[1:43:25] Thank you to everyone who

[1:43:26] engaged today.

[1:43:26] Let me begin with the with a

[1:43:27] handful of the appointments

[1:43:32] that we're considering.

[1:43:33] We've got a number of folks

[1:43:34] from District nine and I wanna

[1:43:38] make sure I recognize enough

[1:43:38] Ted Womack, Daniel Limon and

[1:43:43] Mark Tran.

[1:43:44] All four of these folks there's

[1:43:44] a common thread of sincere

[1:43:49] passion for the work that they

[1:43:50] do on these boards that is

[1:43:51] carried out through the work

[1:43:55] they do on a day to day basis.

[1:43:56] I can think about

[1:43:56] the conversations we've had

[1:43:57] with each and every one of

[1:44:01] these folks about why about why

[1:44:02] they care about the work that

[1:44:07] is involved in each of these

[1:44:08] boards and commissions.

[1:44:08] And so I want to say thank you

[1:44:09] to each of them for stepping up

[1:44:12] and serving in this capacity.

[1:44:13] And then I want to speak to

[1:44:14] another appointment.

[1:44:15] I was the person who I know

[1:44:19] best amongst the appointees

[1:44:19] today.

[1:44:20] Lydia Ball.

[1:44:20] Lydia is being appointed to

[1:44:21] the airport authority.

[1:44:25] I think this is an outstanding

[1:44:25] appointment that will be very,

[1:44:31] very good for San Diego.

[1:44:31] Lydia has a wealth of

[1:44:32] experience in a variety of

[1:44:33] sectors from government to

[1:44:36] the nonprofit sector.

[1:44:37] She's been a champion for

[1:44:37] the environment for years which

[1:44:38] will pair very well with

[1:44:43] the airports commitment to

[1:44:43] sustainability.

[1:44:44] She's a champion for workers

[1:44:44] rights.

[1:44:49] She's an outstanding leader.

[1:44:50] And if if if all that is not

[1:44:55] enough, she has the patience of

[1:44:56] a saint.

[1:44:56] And how do I know that?

[1:44:59] She worked alongside me for

[1:45:00] four years.

[1:45:00] So Lydia, thank you for

[1:45:01] stepping up to serve in this

[1:45:01] capacity.

[1:45:05] I am really excited to see you

[1:45:06] step into this role and see

[1:45:11] the airport benefit from your

[1:45:12] your leadership, your strategy,

[1:45:13] your strategic mind and just

[1:45:17] your overall goodness as a

[1:45:17] human being.

[1:45:18] So thank you for that.

[1:45:22] Moving on to item 54,

[1:45:23] the second reading of the Due

[1:45:23] Process and Safety Ordinance.

[1:45:28] We heard this way back in

[1:45:29] OCTOBER.

[1:45:30] A lot has happened in the world

[1:45:33] since then But one thing that

[1:45:33] has not changed is the need for

[1:45:38] the city to adopt this into law

[1:45:39] .

[1:45:39] As a reminder, the ordinance

[1:45:40] establishes clear

[1:45:40] constitutional guardrails

[1:45:41] requiring judicial warrants for

[1:45:44] federal and out of state law

[1:45:45] enforcement access to nonpublic

[1:45:45] city facilities.

[1:45:46] Extending those same

[1:45:49] protections to city contractors

[1:45:50] lessees and grantees.

[1:45:50] Prohibiting participation in

[1:45:51] any enforcement Targeting

[1:45:52] individuals based on political

[1:45:56] or religious expression race,

[1:45:56] ethnicity, gender identity,

[1:45:57] disability, reproductive care

[1:46:02] and will mandate multilingual

[1:46:03] know your rights education in

[1:46:03] city sites.

[1:46:04] The reason for this is simple

[1:46:08] We deserve to live in a city

[1:46:08] where law order and rights

[1:46:09] actually mean something where

[1:46:10] safety and dignity go hand in

[1:46:14] hand.

[1:46:15] And this ordinance makes it

[1:46:15] clear that look, our local

[1:46:16] government will uphold

[1:46:17] the Constitution, protect our

[1:46:17] people and fight for our

[1:46:20] communities.

[1:46:20] The ordinance builds upon

[1:46:21] the California Values Act and

[1:46:21] the Truth Act.

[1:46:26] State privacy laws and

[1:46:27] the Constitution itself.

[1:46:27] Expanding the protections to a

[1:46:28] wider range of residents and

[1:46:32] situations including health

[1:46:33] care, housing and faith

[1:46:33] settings.

[1:46:34] It also sets a new national

[1:46:35] model extending these standards

[1:46:38] onto the operations to city

[1:46:39] funded entities ensuring

[1:46:40] consistent protections across

[1:46:40] the region.

[1:46:45] I want to say thank you to all

[1:46:45] the committee members who

[1:46:46] helped us bring this forward

[1:46:47] who provided feedback to ensure

[1:46:50] that we are doing what we can

[1:46:51] within the confines of this

[1:46:52] ordinance to make sure that

[1:46:55] it's meaningful And what it

[1:46:56] offers to San Diego residents

[1:46:57] and visitors to our city.

[1:46:58] I want to say thank you to our

[1:47:01] regional partners from various

[1:47:02] cities including the statue of

[1:47:03] ista and the county of San

[1:47:07] Diego who brought forward

[1:47:09] similar policies And in each of

[1:47:16] those jurisdictions.

[1:47:17] And I also wanted to mention

[1:47:17] one thing.

[1:47:18] This is not the protections

[1:47:23] within this law apply to

[1:47:23] everyone.

[1:47:24] And there was a part of

[1:47:28] the conversation that I think

[1:47:28] there's an opportunity here for

[1:47:34] folks to see that a threat

[1:47:35] against a person's rights is

[1:47:35] unacceptable no matter who that

[1:47:40] person is, that rights are

[1:47:41] rights And whether you are an

[1:47:42] undocumented person or someone

[1:47:46] who's lived here for years,

[1:47:47] whether you are a person who

[1:47:52] has who has right wing ideology

[1:47:53] or left wing ideology whether

[1:47:53] you are Muslim or Jewish or

[1:47:58] Christian or atheist your

[1:47:59] rights or your rights.

[1:47:59] And that is the whole point of

[1:48:05] this ordinance.

[1:48:05] And so if your rights have been

[1:48:06] violated that's not acceptable

[1:48:10] regardless of what political

[1:48:10] affiliation you have.

[1:48:11] And so I just don't want that

[1:48:16] to be missed here because what

[1:48:17] we saw today were folks from or

[1:48:22] support or vote for

[1:48:23] the additional detriments.

[1:48:28] The comments we heard were from

[1:48:29] folks who stand along side

[1:48:30] people who are people who on a

[1:48:34] day to day basis are living in

[1:48:35] fear because of completely

[1:48:40] lawless federal regime is

[1:48:40] targeting them and

[1:48:41] the targeting that they feel is

[1:48:46] no different than the target

[1:48:47] and others who are in this

[1:48:48] chamber feel.

[1:48:48] And it doesn't matter what

[1:48:52] the source of that targeting

[1:48:52] is.

[1:48:53] It's unacceptable.

[1:48:54] And so I just wanted to be

[1:48:58] clear that we are not

[1:48:58] separating anyone out in terms

[1:48:59] of protections here.

[1:49:00] The protections in this

[1:49:04] ordinance apply to literally

[1:49:04] everyone.

[1:49:05] So if you're a supporter of

[1:49:10] rights and you believe that

[1:49:11] government should be held in

[1:49:11] check and there should be

[1:49:12] commitments made, you should be

[1:49:16] a supporter of this ordinance.

[1:49:17] And this is a law, not just a

[1:49:18] resolution And it is a law

[1:49:22] because with a law becomes more

[1:49:23] enforceability.

[1:49:29] And that's why it took so long

[1:49:29] at this point.

[1:49:30] And so with that I want to say

[1:49:31] thank you, Coto for your work

[1:49:31] alongside Rosa in my office to

[1:49:34] make sure that each and every

[1:49:35] one of the cities are those are

[1:49:36] the unions that represent

[1:49:40] the city's workers have an

[1:49:41] opportunity to provide to ask

[1:49:41] questions to provide their

[1:49:42] feedback.

[1:49:42] I want to thank each and every

[1:49:43] one of those areas for

[1:49:46] providing that feedback.

[1:49:47] And then I do need to say this

[1:49:47] part because it's important.

[1:49:52] This is an important ordinance.

[1:49:52] It will certainly improve

[1:49:53] protections and give people

[1:49:54] stronger ground to assert their

[1:49:57] rights.

[1:49:58] And what it will not do

[1:49:59] unfortunately although I wish

[1:50:03] it could is guarantee

[1:50:04] protection from a completely

[1:50:09] immoral and increasingly

[1:50:10] unhinged fascist PRESIDENT And

[1:50:16] his fascist regime from

[1:50:16] attacking community members.

[1:50:21] It cannot unfortunately protect

[1:50:22] the community leader in

[1:50:23] District nine when she goes out

[1:50:28] to move her car and ice agents

[1:50:29] snatched Snatcher for no reason

[1:50:33] whatsoever and upend her life

[1:50:34] and her family's life.

[1:50:35] It will not provide protections

[1:50:40] against a military wife who is

[1:50:40] dropping off her husband for

[1:50:41] deployment.

[1:50:41] I wish it could but it's

[1:50:42] the best we can do in

[1:50:46] the moment and we should be

[1:50:47] proud of that and we should be

[1:50:48] continue to be pushed to figure

[1:50:49] out all the ways that as a

[1:50:53] local jurisdiction we can

[1:50:53] provide more protections and

[1:50:54] firmer ground for San Diego and

[1:50:55] deserves a city to assert their

[1:50:55] rights.

[1:50:58] I want to thank my colleagues

[1:50:59] for support provided back in

[1:50:59] OCTOBER.

[1:51:04] I want to thank the community

[1:51:05] again for everything they

[1:51:05] provided not just in helping to

[1:51:06] reform the language of

[1:51:10] the ordinance but also in

[1:51:10] continuing to push us to do

[1:51:11] better.

[1:51:11] With that that concludes my

[1:51:16] comments and my motion

[1:51:16] councilor present.

[1:51:17] >> All right.

[1:51:17] Thank you.

[1:51:18] So we have a motion by

[1:56:08] I want to wait and I thank you.

[1:56:08] Council PRESIDENT.

[1:56:09] All right.

[1:56:09] Thank you, Council members.

[1:56:14] So we do have a motion by

[1:56:14] council member Eli Rivera and

[1:56:15] second by Council member

[1:56:16] Campbell to move the consent

[1:56:16] agenda.

[1:56:20] And we'll go next to Council

[1:56:20] member Moreno.

[1:56:21] >> Thank you.

[1:56:24] I have comments on items 107

[1:56:25] and 111.

[1:56:29] Item 107 is the approval of

[1:56:30] $4.2 million of state grants to

[1:56:35] launch phase one of Grove

[1:56:35] Neighborhood Park.

[1:56:36] First and foremost I would like

[1:56:37] to recognize the board members

[1:56:41] of the Otay Mesa community

[1:56:42] Council mystery Mike and

[1:56:43] Shirley as well as other

[1:56:47] committee members who've never

[1:56:48] stopped pushing for what they

[1:56:49] were promised many decades ago.

[1:56:49] And with this support we're not

[1:56:54] only building a park but we're

[1:56:55] fulfilling a promise to

[1:56:55] the Otay Mesa investor

[1:56:56] community.

[1:57:00] For many years residents have

[1:57:01] looked at an empty lot and have

[1:57:01] been told basically to wait.

[1:57:06] This investment finally

[1:57:07] transforms decades of advocacy

[1:57:07] into action for a neighborhood

[1:57:08] that has been underserved and

[1:57:13] parked deprived for far too

[1:57:13] long.

[1:57:13] Phase one will deliver

[1:57:18] essential amenities a

[1:57:19] children's play areas, picnic

[1:57:19] spaces, public art and new

[1:57:24] lighting and safe walkways that

[1:57:24] families have envisioned for

[1:57:25] generations.

[1:57:30] This grant ensures that phase

[1:57:31] one is not only is not only

[1:57:32] just a set of right away

[1:57:36] improvements but a true park

[1:57:37] recognizing that everybody

[1:57:37] deserves accessible green space

[1:57:42] and safe recreation and just

[1:57:42] space to gather.

[1:57:47] With phase one fully funded, a

[1:57:47] Grove Park stands next to

[1:57:52] Riviera del Sol Robert Edgar

[1:57:53] Senior Coral Gate Memorial and

[1:57:53] via park among the list of

[1:57:58] parks our communities have seen

[1:57:59] built or revitalized since I

[1:57:59] took office.

[1:58:00] This is a little bit of an

[1:58:05] anecdote here but when the San

[1:58:06] Diego Parks and Rec Foundation

[1:58:11] asked for a tour of my parks I

[1:58:11] took them to two of them.

[1:58:16] One of them being this park.

[1:58:17] And when we walked around in

[1:58:18] the open plot of land it was a

[1:58:18] really hot day too.

[1:58:23] They said Why did you bring us

[1:58:23] to an open plot of land?

[1:58:24] And my response to them was

[1:58:29] because this is what our kids

[1:58:30] in dia have to live with day in

[1:58:30] and day out.

[1:58:31] So I'm very, very happy that

[1:58:35] this is moving forward right

[1:58:36] before I end my tenure as a

[1:58:36] council member.

[1:58:40] And I would be remiss if I

[1:58:41] didn't think Assemblymember

[1:58:42] David Alvarez who championed

[1:58:42] this funding.

[1:58:48] Moving on item 111 is

[1:58:48] the approval of

[1:58:49] the reappointment of MR. To

[1:58:50] Victor Temporary as a public

[1:58:53] member to the audit committee.

[1:58:54] I would like to thank MR. Top

[1:58:55] Sharry for his continued

[1:58:56] service and willingness to

[1:58:59] serve another term as a public

[1:59:00] member of the Audit Committee.

[1:59:01] As chair of the Audit committee

[1:59:05] I greatly value

[1:59:06] the perspectives that public

[1:59:06] members bring to our discussion

[1:59:11] and MR. He brings extensive

[1:59:12] auditing experience from his

[1:59:13] work with mta, sandag and

[1:59:17] the City of San Diego.

[1:59:18] His expertise and insight

[1:59:18] insight have been invaluable in

[1:59:23] our discussions in audit

[1:59:23] Committee have helped city

[1:59:24] departments strengthen their

[1:59:25] processes and programs.

[1:59:29] So MR. Sherry, thank you for

[1:59:30] your willingness to serve and I

[1:59:34] look forward to continuing

[1:59:35] the work for the next eight

[1:59:35] months.

[1:59:41] few folks on item 112 for

[1:59:47] Thank you for your willingness

[1:59:47] to serve.

[1:59:48] And on item 117 for

[1:59:52] the historic Resource Board.

[1:59:52] Thank you to MR. Rami Cortez

[1:59:53] for your willingness to serve

[1:59:53] as well.

[1:59:54] And that concludes my comments.

[1:59:59] Council PRESIDENT Thank you for

[1:59:59] the time.

[1:59:59] All right.

[2:00:00] Thank you.

[2:00:00] Council member Moreno We'll go

[2:00:01] next to Council Member Thank

[2:00:01] you.

[2:00:04] Council PRESIDENT Thank you to

[2:00:05] all of the folks who are

[2:00:05] stepping up to volunteer on

[2:00:06] multiple boards and

[2:00:06] commissions.

[2:00:11] I truly appreciate them.

[2:00:11] I do want to call attention to

[2:00:12] new appointees who live in

[2:00:16] district seven and representing

[2:04:18] much.

[2:04:19] And item 117 historical

[2:04:23] resource forward and also a

[2:04:23] plea to support the mayor's

[2:04:24] reappointment of MS..

[2:04:24] Woods to serve another term.

[2:04:27] She brings real on the ground

[2:04:28] experience in land use, housing

[2:04:29] and workforce development areas

[2:04:30] that are critical to our city

[2:04:34] right now.

[2:04:34] In her role with our California

[2:04:36] worked at the intersection of

[2:04:36] government, business and

[2:04:41] policy here in San Diego and

[2:04:50] budgets, launching job training

[2:04:51] programs and bringing in new

[2:04:52] funding to expand

[2:04:52] opportunities.

[2:04:53] She's also become a fantastic

[2:04:56] neighbor and friend as her

[2:04:57] leadership with the Scripps

[2:04:58] been exemplary.

[2:04:58] MS. Melanie But thank you so

[2:05:01] much for your work.

[2:05:02] I look forward to the next time

[2:05:03] we have a party in one of our

[2:05:03] parks.

[2:05:07] I know Item 54 the Due Process

[2:05:08] Ordinance.

[2:05:08] I want to thank our colleague

[2:05:12] Council for Shining Rivera for

[2:05:13] bringing this forward to

[2:05:13] protect the rights and safety

[2:05:14] of the region and minimize

[2:05:17] economic instability.

[2:05:18] The proposed ordinance

[2:05:18] establishes clear

[2:05:19] constitutional guardrails to

[2:05:22] ensure city property personnel

[2:05:23] and funding are not used to

[2:05:24] facilitate unauthorized

[2:05:25] discriminatory or extrajudicial

[2:05:28] enforcement activities from

[2:05:29] everything from immigration to

[2:05:29] disability status to getting a

[2:05:34] team of transgender care to

[2:05:35] making sure that women have

[2:05:35] the rights to reproductive

[2:05:36] freedom.

[2:05:40] Our community is strongest.

[2:05:40] We live up to our shared

[2:05:41] American values a respect for

[2:05:42] life, liberty, dignity and

[2:05:44] fairness Under the law.

[2:05:45] So thank you for bringing this

[2:05:46] forward.

[2:05:46] Thank you to my colleagues for

[2:05:50] supporting it on item 124,

[2:05:51] the San Diego Regional Airport

[2:05:52] Authority Board I'm happy to

[2:05:52] support the appointment of

[2:05:56] Lydia Ball to the San Diego

[2:05:57] Regional Airport Authority

[2:05:58] Board of Directors a welcome

[2:06:01] She brings a breadth of

[2:06:02] experience in the last 20 years

[2:06:02] advancing infrastructure, clean

[2:06:03] energy and regional economic

[2:06:06] development initiatives all of

[2:06:07] which the airport is very

[2:06:07] strong on.

[2:06:08] And as many people have seen we

[2:06:11] have opened only one half of

[2:06:11] the new terminal.

[2:06:12] We are still in the middle of

[2:06:16] that nearly $4 billion project

[2:06:16] And so Lydia is coming at a

[2:06:17] time that is crucial to make

[2:06:18] sure that that project does get

[2:06:22] finished with the new one And

[2:06:22] then we have much more to come.

[2:06:23] So very excited you to join

[2:06:24] the board.

[2:06:27] It's a fantastic organization.

[2:06:28] I think you're gonna love it

[2:06:28] there.

[2:06:29] We're going to love having you

[2:06:29] there.

[2:06:32] I obviously got to work with

[2:06:33] Lydia before you went to

[2:06:34] the city And believe me,

[2:06:34] building green infrastructure

[2:06:35] is one of our specialties there

[2:06:38] So we're very excited to

[2:06:39] welcome you and I'm very, very

[2:06:43] happy to support your presence

[2:06:43] Also on item 119 Commission on

[2:06:44] the Status of Women, I am

[2:06:45] pleased to support the Mayor's

[2:06:49] reappointment of Marilyn Corio

[2:06:50] with the restroom icon Gail

[2:06:54] Freed and Carla Nisbet Stokes

[2:06:54] to the Commission on the Status

[2:06:55] of Women.

[2:06:55] Thank you so much for all

[2:06:56] the work that you have been

[2:06:59] doing on this incredible

[2:07:00] commission with your background

[2:07:01] in education, workforce

[2:07:01] development policy advocacy and

[2:07:05] a clear commitment to helping

[2:07:05] people grow and succeed and

[2:07:06] the challenges that women and

[2:07:10] especially women of color are

[2:07:11] facing now under a federal

[2:07:11] administration are dire.

[2:07:16] Many people might have seen

[2:07:17] the news just last week about

[2:07:19] what the equal opportunity

[2:07:25] the eeoc Commission is doing in

[2:07:26] 2024.

[2:07:26] In the fall about 250 female

[2:07:27] employees of a Coca-Cola

[2:07:32] distributor are gathered for an

[2:07:32] unremarkable meeting inside

[2:07:33] the ballroom of a Connecticut

[2:07:36] casino for a day of speakers

[2:07:37] and team building exercises.

[2:07:38] Their theme was Embrace your

[2:07:42] authenticity.

[2:07:43] It offered women a chance to

[2:07:44] mingle with higher ups to bond

[2:07:44] over their share of challenges

[2:07:48] in a male dominated workplace.

[2:07:48] One participant said it was

[2:07:49] fun, energizing and youthful.

[2:07:50] She said We learned how to deal

[2:07:53] with irate customers for

[2:07:53] example simple strategies for

[2:07:54] women to succeed in their

[2:07:57] workplaces.

[2:07:58] Last month Trump's eeoc sued

[2:08:02] Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast

[2:08:03] for this conference, claiming

[2:08:04] that they engaged in unlawful

[2:08:08] discrimination against male

[2:08:09] employees under the federal

[2:08:10] Civil Rights Act.

[2:08:13] The agency is now seeking

[2:08:14] unspecified compensatory

[2:08:15] damages and punitive damages

[2:08:15] just so the public knows

[2:08:19] The eeoc received tens of

[2:08:20] thousands of complaints a year

[2:08:24] for discrimination in

[2:08:25] the workplace and they hardly

[2:08:25] file any of the lawsuits.

[2:08:26] It's very rare to get the eeoc

[2:08:29] to actually take action.

[2:08:30] And the fact that they chose to

[2:08:31] take action against Coca-Cola

[2:08:32] for simply having a women's

[2:08:35] empowerment day is very, very

[2:08:35] telling.

[2:08:40] Founded in 1977, headquartered

[2:08:41] in New Hampshire, the Coca-Cola

[2:08:41] Beverages Northeast employs

[2:08:42] about 3400 people who bottle

[2:08:45] pack deliver and sell Coke

[2:08:46] products across the region from

[2:08:46] Boston to upstate New York.

[2:08:50] More than 85% of their

[2:08:50] employees are men.

[2:08:51] So back in MAY 2024,

[2:08:55] the company decided to hold its

[2:08:56] first in-person women's forum.

[2:08:56] Before the event, the company

[2:09:01] notified its 11 unions asking

[2:09:01] whether they had any objections

[2:09:02] and not a single union raised

[2:09:06] an objection to a woman's

[2:09:06] forum.

[2:09:07] At the event the attendees

[2:09:07] heard from executives who

[2:09:10] described their career past and

[2:09:11] they watched a demonstration by

[2:09:11] a trainer of a service dog

[2:09:12] sponsored by the company.

[2:09:15] >> One employee who attended

[2:09:16] the 2024 event wasn't aware it

[2:09:17] had triggered a lawsuit against

[2:09:20] the company.

[2:09:21] She said it should happen every

[2:09:22] year and still uses some of

[2:09:22] the lessons she gleaned in her

[2:09:25] work including strategies for

[2:09:26] meeting calm and dealing with

[2:09:27] irate managers our customers.

[2:09:30] She said quote It is very

[2:09:31] empowering for women to get in

[2:09:31] the same room.

[2:09:36] And so what I see is that this

[2:09:36] lawsuit really is not about a

[2:09:37] single networking event.

[2:09:40] It's about whether efforts to

[2:09:41] support and advance women in

[2:09:42] workplaces where they remain

[2:09:46] vastly underrepresented can be

[2:09:46] treated as discrimination

[2:09:47] rather than progress In a

[2:09:51] company where more than 85% of

[2:09:51] employees are men.

[2:09:52] A voluntary forum designed to

[2:09:56] foster mentorship, connection

[2:09:57] and professional growth for

[2:09:57] women is now being framed by

[2:10:01] Donald Trump as unlawful.

[2:10:01] This risks turning back

[2:10:02] the clock on so much progress

[2:10:02] we have made.

[2:10:07] It echoes a time when women

[2:10:07] were excluded from opportunity

[2:10:08] silence in professional spaces

[2:10:09] and told that gathering to

[2:10:13] support one another wasn't a

[2:10:13] simple problem.

[2:10:14] Actions like this and a

[2:10:14] chilling message that even

[2:10:17] modders modest efforts to level

[2:10:18] the playing field for women MAY

[2:10:22] be challenged or punished by

[2:10:22] the federal government.

[2:10:23] And that is what this

[2:10:24] litigation is really about.

[2:10:27] It reflects a broader fear of

[2:10:28] women simply organizing

[2:10:29] speaking openly about our

[2:10:32] challenges and building

[2:10:33] pathways to leadership in male

[2:10:37] dominated fields and empowering

[2:10:38] women to fully participate in

[2:10:39] the workplace and simply ask

[2:10:39] for equality in civic life.

[2:10:43] Is not discrimination.

[2:10:44] It's progress.

[2:10:48] So I want to thank you very

[2:10:49] much the women who are serving

[2:10:49] on the Status Commission of

[2:10:53] Women.

[2:10:54] You have a dire challenge ahead

[2:10:55] of you and you have our full

[2:10:58] support here at the city.

[2:10:59] So thank you very much and

[2:10:59] thank you to my colleagues for

[2:11:00] all of the incredible

[2:11:03] appointments today and I'm

[2:11:03] happy to support the consent

[2:11:04] agenda.

[2:11:04] All right.

[2:11:04] Thank you.

[2:11:07] Council member Von Wilpert.

[2:11:08] We'll go next to Council member

[2:11:09] Whipper Thank you, Council

[2:11:09] PRESIDENT.

[2:11:12] I too want to congratulate and

[2:11:13] thank everybody who is being

[2:11:14] appointed or reappointed to

[2:11:14] boards and commissions today

[2:11:18] especially all of those who

[2:11:18] live at District three.

[2:11:19] But thank you to all of you.

[2:11:23] These positions are really

[2:11:24] important and your service is

[2:11:24] very much appreciated.

[2:11:27] And I have 54 I would join

[2:11:28] everybody in appreciating

[2:11:29] Councilmember Ila Rivera for

[2:11:32] bringing this forward and

[2:11:32] everyone who came to City

[2:11:33] council today to speak in favor

[2:11:33] of it.

[2:11:37] We live in a day when too many

[2:11:38] Americans are afraid of their

[2:11:42] own government.

[2:11:43] People who were born and raised

[2:11:43] in San Diego carry their

[2:11:47] passports because they are

[2:11:48] afraid of being deported.

[2:11:52] I know some of them and I'm

[2:11:53] glad that Councilmember Eli

[2:11:53] Rivera made the point that

[2:11:57] while we unfortunately can't

[2:11:58] fully protect, say, the Reagans

[2:11:59] from the Trump administration,

[2:12:02] this ordinance isn't just

[2:12:03] symbolic either.

[2:12:03] And I appreciate the examples

[2:12:07] that are provided at

[2:12:08] the materials where this

[2:12:08] ordinance can really help

[2:12:09] protect people.

[2:12:12] I have a lot of construction

[2:12:13] going on in my district as does

[2:12:17] Councilmember Rivera, some of

[2:12:18] it funded with city resources.

[2:12:21] And this ordinance prohibits

[2:12:22] federal agents from going in

[2:12:23] and detaining construction

[2:12:26] workers at city funded projects

[2:12:27] without a judicial warrant.

[2:12:28] It provides due process.

[2:12:31] There are other examples where

[2:12:32] this could help protect our

[2:12:32] residents from the Trump

[2:12:33] administration.

[2:12:36] So thank you for bringing it

[2:12:36] forward.

[2:12:37] I'm glad it's going to be

[2:12:41] enacted today.

[2:12:42] Thank you.

[2:12:42] Council PRESIDENT.

[2:12:43] All right.

[2:12:43] Thank you, Council.

[2:12:44] I would probably go back to

[2:12:46] Councilmember Foster.

[2:12:47] Yes, Thank you, Council

[2:12:47] PRESIDENT.

[2:12:48] My apologies.

[2:12:48] I did not see Lydia here.

[2:12:52] I just wanted to take a moment

[2:12:52] and give Lydia a quick shout

[2:12:53] out.

[2:12:53] I had the pleasure to work with

[2:12:56] Lydia as the former chief of

[2:13:02] staff for council member and at

[2:13:02] the time Council PRESIDENT

[2:13:03] Shawn Rivera.

[2:13:04] Just a pleasure to see you

[2:13:04] back.

[2:13:06] And I just wanted to say

[2:13:07] congratulations and thank you

[2:13:11] All right.

[2:13:11] Thank you, Councilmember

[2:13:12] Foster.

[2:13:12] Nothing No one else in

[2:13:13] the lights I think actually

[2:13:16] everybody has spoken a lot.

[2:13:16] Couple of thoughts myself.

[2:13:20] I'll join the chorus on item 54

[2:13:21] thanking Councilmember Eli

[2:13:22] Rivera, the d9 staff and

[2:13:25] everyone who worked on bringing

[2:13:25] forward the due process

[2:13:26] ordinance.

[2:13:30] As I did last time it was heard

[2:13:31] I will register a no vote on 55

[2:13:35] item a item s 500.

[2:13:40] This is regarding the loi

[2:13:40] assures banner district.

[2:13:41] I want to thank the La Hoya

[2:13:44] Association for working through

[2:13:45] the red tape and

[2:13:49] the bureaucracy to expand

[2:13:50] the boundaries of the La Hoya

[2:13:51] Shaw's Banner district and to

[2:13:54] develop a working relationship

[2:13:55] between the La Hoya Shaw's

[2:13:56] Association and the Shaw's

[2:13:59] businesses sociation in

[2:14:00] operating that banner district.

[2:14:01] I know it'll accrue to

[2:14:05] the benefit of both the La Hoya

[2:14:05] Shaw's residents and

[2:14:06] the businesses there and

[2:14:09] everybody that passed through

[2:14:10] that district.

[2:14:11] So thank you for the good work

[2:14:11] And a special shout out to

[2:14:15] Abbie Reuter and my staff for

[2:14:15] navigating this process that

[2:14:16] turned out to be a little bit

[2:14:19] harder than we originally

[2:14:19] thought.

[2:14:23] On the items 110 and one

[2:14:24] through 120 I certainly want to

[2:14:25] congratulate and thank to all

[2:14:28] those who are being appointed

[2:14:28] or reappointed.

[2:14:29] Your volunteer time is very

[2:14:33] much appreciated.

[2:14:33] Serving on our city's boards

[2:14:34] and commissions and of course a

[2:14:38] shout out as council member of

[2:14:43] all the work behind the scenes

[2:14:43] to bring this forward.

[2:14:48] reappointed.

[2:14:48] Validating the qualifications

[2:14:51] of those who want to be

[2:14:52] appointed for the first time.

[2:14:53] And then of course docketing

[2:14:56] the items is no easy task So

[2:14:57] thank you for that very good

[2:14:57] work.

[2:14:59] >> And then on item 120 despite

[2:15:00] the fact that Lydia

[2:15:00] unceremoniously kicked me out

[2:15:04] of a social justice coalition

[2:15:05] many years ago, I hold no

[2:15:08] grudge and will continue to

[2:15:09] support your appointment to

[2:15:10] the Airport authority.

[2:15:14] Congratulations and I'm glad to

[2:15:14] see you're back in the circle

[2:15:15] of city business.

[2:15:18] You'll be a great asset to that

[2:15:19] authority.

[2:15:19] So with that we have an

[2:15:20] appointment.

[2:15:23] Excuse me a motion by council

[2:15:24] member Ella Rivera and a second

[2:15:25] by council member Campbell.

[2:15:57] the mayor's office City council

[2:15:58] member, city attorney,

[2:16:01] independent budget analyst or

[2:16:01] city clerk?

[2:16:04] We see the city clerk has a

[2:16:04] comment first.

[2:16:05] >> Thank you.

[2:16:05] Council PRESIDENT.

[2:16:06] I would just wanted to take a

[2:16:09] moment to mark the 95th

[2:16:10] anniversary of when San Diego

[2:16:10] voters approved our city

[2:16:14] charter on APRIL seventh, 1931,

[2:16:15] otherwise known as Charter Day.

[2:16:15] The document serves as

[2:16:20] the foundation of our city

[2:16:20] government structure and

[2:16:21] operations.

[2:16:24] While it has been amended over

[2:16:25] the years, it continues to

[2:16:25] guide our work.

[2:16:26] And if you'd like to learn more

[2:16:26] the City Charter is available

[2:16:33] online at w w w dot San

[2:16:34] diego.Gov/city Clerk Happy

[2:16:34] Charter Day.

[2:16:34] Thank you.

[2:16:35] All right thank you City Clerk

[2:16:40] And happy charter day as well.

[2:16:40] And we'll go next to council

[2:16:43] member Eli Rivera Thank you

[2:16:47] council PRESIDENT Just as I as

[2:16:48] is often the case I feel like

[2:16:48] it's important when we at least

[2:16:49] acknowledge things that are

[2:16:54] completely unacceptable or

[2:16:59] extraordinary happen outside of

[2:17:00] this of these chambers.

[2:17:04] This morning a increasingly

[2:17:05] unhinged authoritarian said

[2:17:09] that an entire civilization

[2:17:09] could die today that

[2:17:14] authoritarian is our PRESIDENT.

[2:17:18] That civilization includes 92

[2:17:19] million people in the country

[2:17:22] of Iran and at least 5 million

[2:17:23] people in the diaspora

[2:17:27] including family members of at

[2:17:28] least two of us on this dais

[2:17:28] That would not just be a war

[2:17:29] crime.

[2:17:32] He literally you just said that

[2:17:33] could be a genocide tonight.

[2:17:37] So again, just in the spirit of

[2:17:37] not pretending like there isn't

[2:17:42] a maniac in the White House and

[2:17:42] there's any semblance of

[2:17:43] normalcy to those sort of

[2:17:46] statements, I felt like I

[2:17:47] needed to say something.

[2:17:51] i pray to GOD that that is just

[2:17:56] the rantings of a maniac and

[2:17:57] not something that he will

[2:17:58] actually act on Because again

[2:18:01] there's 92 million people in

[2:18:02] Iran and 5 million people in

[2:18:05] the diaspora and that would be

[2:18:06] what the death of that

[2:18:06] civilization would look like in

[2:18:07] human terms.

[2:18:10] Thank you, Council PRESIDENT

[2:18:11] All right.

[2:18:11] Thank you.

[2:18:12] Council member Not seeing

[2:18:15] anybody else in the lights.

[2:19:22] between the city of San Diego

[2:19:31] lease with the ywca with one

[2:19:32] five year option to extend for

[2:19:35] a total potential term of 15

[2:19:35] years for safety and

[2:19:36] confidentiality reasons.

[2:19:40] The specific property location

[2:19:41] is intentionally omitted from

[2:19:41] the public record as the site

[2:19:44] serves individuals receiving

[2:19:44] sensitive and protected

[2:19:58] services staff is requesting

[2:19:59] five actions today Make a

[2:20:03] finding consistent with Council

[2:20:04] policy 712 that the proposed

[2:20:08] lease serves a valid public

[2:20:09] purpose approve and authorize

[2:20:13] execution of a lease agreement

[2:20:14] .

[2:20:14] Waive the Council policy 712

[2:20:15] requirement for a market rent

[2:20:19] appraisal Given the significant

[2:20:19] significant public benefit

[2:20:20] provided through these services

[2:20:24] authorized the Chief Financial

[2:20:24] Officer to accept and deposit

[2:20:25] the lease consideration and

[2:20:29] determine the approval.

[2:20:30] The lease is categorically

[2:20:30] exempt from secret under secret

[2:20:36] guideline Section 1530 one

[2:20:36] The ywca of San Diego County

[2:20:39] was founded in 1907 and is

[2:20:50] critical supportive services to

[2:20:55] Their prior lease expired on

[2:20:58] OCTOBER 1st, 2025 and staff

[2:20:59] have negotiated this new

[2:21:01] agreement to ensure continuity

[2:21:06] of these essential services.

[2:21:07] >> The proposed lease allows

[2:21:10] the ywca to continue operating

[2:22:06] of the work to bring this

[2:22:06] forward.

[2:22:09] Clerk Please proceed with

[2:22:09] public comment.

[2:22:10] >> Thank you.

[2:22:10] Council PRESIDENT Andrea Irving

[2:22:14] allegedly Audra and Blair

[2:22:15] Beekman if you can all come

[2:22:15] forward to the front row.

[2:22:16] Andrea, if you can please come

[2:22:21] up to the microphone.

[2:22:21] You'll have two minutes.

[2:22:26] Thank you.

[2:22:26] My name is Andrea Irving.

[2:22:30] I support housing women

[2:22:30] children.

[2:22:31] I support the funding of

[2:22:34] programs for underprivileged

[2:22:35] individuals.

[2:22:40] I would just suggest that we

[2:22:41] kind of look at not creating

[2:22:45] those situations in the city.

[2:22:46] >> I was a little surprised to

[2:22:49] hear so few people speak on sb

[2:22:50] 54 after the proclamation

[2:22:53] because I think that with due

[2:22:54] process both federally and

[2:22:59] locally we'll have a lot less

[2:23:00] of these needs And I think that

[2:23:03] we yes, we need to take care of

[2:23:04] things like this but we also

[2:23:08] need to care of like driving

[2:23:09] revenue into the city as well.

[2:23:09] There's been a really long

[2:23:13] delay at a for an organization

[2:23:17] or a space in Balboa Park

[2:23:18] called Starlight Amphitheater.

[2:23:18] And if you look at the names

[2:23:22] that have performed there

[2:23:22] Beastie Boys, the Rolling

[2:23:23] Stones, The Ramones, Elvis

[2:23:27] Costello incredible acts and I

[2:23:28] know there was okay, they have

[2:23:32] to pause for airplanes to fly

[2:23:33] over but that venue is so

[2:23:37] amazing Like it is so amazing

[2:23:37] and I just genuinely believe

[2:23:38] that it could drive so much

[2:23:42] revenue into the city.

[2:23:43] You know there is a lot of work

[2:23:47] that's gone into it so far over

[2:23:47] the past several years but with

[2:23:48] just a little help maybe just

[2:23:52] some sponsorship that could

[2:23:52] help situations and maybe

[2:23:56] actually help employ women that

[2:23:57] are women and men that are

[2:24:00] going to go into this facility

[2:24:01] and provide employment

[2:24:06] opportunities and great venues

[2:24:07] for graduations, speaking

[2:24:11] engagements and an extension of

[2:24:12] the convention center.

[2:24:12] I think we could upsell

[2:24:16] the space for large speaking

[2:24:16] engagements for orthopedic

[2:24:20] surgeons or the ted conference

[2:24:20] or Comic-Con.

[2:24:21] So just something to think

[2:24:21] about.

[2:24:23] Thank you.

[2:24:33] >> And allegedly under man it's

[2:24:34] like I wish there could be

[2:24:38] something that I could look

[2:24:39] into and not find super

[2:24:39] nefarious things with these

[2:24:43] nonprofits that you guys engage

[2:24:44] in, you've heard plenty of

[2:24:44] information about Tent City and

[2:24:48] Dreams for Change.

[2:24:49] People keep coming here and

[2:24:49] it's still open.

[2:24:50] Steven Whitman laughed at me

[2:24:53] when somebody died.

[2:24:54] It's like there's this is very,

[2:24:55] very bad and you guys are doing

[2:24:57] a ten year contract And just

[2:24:58] with a quick look you can see

[2:25:01] the types of things that have

[2:25:06] taken place with the wide uh

[2:25:06] wca and different things like

[2:25:11] that and you know it's when we

[2:25:12] have these programs that are

[2:25:15] supposed to be housing people

[2:25:16] and it's like of course that's

[2:25:17] what we should be doing but we

[2:25:17] should actually be doing that

[2:25:21] not making it harder for people

[2:25:21] to get into housing to get off

[2:25:22] the streets.

[2:25:23] It's like all of these things

[2:25:26] when we're contracting with

[2:25:27] these nonprofits I feel like

[2:25:27] there's no checks and balances.

[2:25:30] It's like you guys go ahead and

[2:25:31] get in contracts with these

[2:25:31] people and then it's like you

[2:25:32] just kind of go It's up to them

[2:25:35] to do whatever.

[2:25:36] Like you're not also complicit

[2:25:36] in it.

[2:25:40] I mean literally Tent City

[2:25:40] should be shut down.

[2:25:41] It should be ran by somebody

[2:25:41] else.

[2:25:45] I mean I talk to people day in

[2:25:45] and day out These people are

[2:25:46] actually afraid to come because

[2:25:50] they're afraid they're going to

[2:25:50] lose their spot there.

[2:25:54] >> So it's like how can that

[2:25:54] take place?

[2:25:55] And you have people that come

[2:25:56] in here and you don't even want

[2:25:59] to go and talk to them and go

[2:26:00] Hey, what's going on?

[2:26:01] I mean deaths and sexual

[2:26:04] assaults are bad And the fact

[2:26:05] that the city is literally on

[2:26:09] that site and there's code

[2:26:09] violations up the ying yang

[2:26:14] like it just shows that you

[2:26:14] guys can be there, watch it

[2:26:15] happen and not do a thing

[2:26:18] about it but how people kick me

[2:26:19] out so that I don't get to talk

[2:26:20] to those people and count

[2:26:23] the public or the homeless And

[2:26:24] it's like I don't need to be

[2:26:25] there to get people to come to

[2:26:25] me.

[2:26:29] But the fact is is that you

[2:26:30] guys should be doing something

[2:26:30] about it's supposed to be being

[2:26:33] audited but it's like it's it's

[2:26:34] still running and they're still

[2:26:35] getting money so you can't be

[2:26:35] trusted when you're picking

[2:26:36] these entities.

[2:26:37] Thank you for that concluding

[2:26:47] comment Player Beekman Hi we're

[2:26:51] Beekman Thank you for this item

[2:26:52] .

[2:26:53] I had read a news report over

[2:26:56] the past week that Mayor Gloria

[2:26:57] delivered a really important

[2:27:01] memo to yourselves this past

[2:27:01] Friday on the work that you

[2:27:30] and by you know I don't know it

[2:27:31] just to set a standard a course

[2:27:35] of how to talk about the issue

[2:27:35] and to prepare ourselves how to

[2:27:39] talk about an unhoused issues

[2:27:40] into this coming year.

[2:27:41] So good luck What we can be

[2:27:44] doing with those issues

[2:27:45] together.

[2:27:45] Gary and others have made a

[2:27:49] really important point about

[2:27:50] you know, there just needs to

[2:27:50] be a better sense of

[2:27:54] organization of how Tent City

[2:27:59] is kept and worked on.

[2:27:59] Good luck that we're doing that

[2:28:04] And I've had the idea in being

[2:28:05] from San Jose they they've

[2:28:08] taken on the tent cities ideas

[2:28:09] too but to a much smaller

[2:28:10] degree in much smaller land

[2:28:14] parcels Is that an option for

[2:28:15] San Diego San Diego is chose

[2:28:18] chosen this large bulk system

[2:28:19] of tent city How about little

[2:28:23] smaller neighborhood ones?

[2:28:24] I know you don't like to hear

[2:28:25] those kind of words but it can

[2:28:28] be much easier to maintain

[2:28:29] possibly And there's just be a

[2:28:34] sense of uh a familiar sense

[2:28:37] more possibly to it.

[2:28:38] That MAY be an interesting idea

[2:28:39] that I felt it was time to

[2:28:42] mention along with this item

[2:28:42] which is really important and

[2:28:43] thank you for it and good luck

[2:28:43] with it.

[2:28:47] Thank you.

[2:28:48] >> Thank you.

[2:28:49] Sorry The five minute time

[2:28:49] we're going to those

[2:28:51] participating remotely starting

[2:28:52] with 8700 If you can please

[2:28:53] unmute you'll have two minutes

[2:28:58] after that is Kathryn Rhodes of

[2:29:02] Thank you Joyce And the other

[2:29:03] three first of all, good news

[2:29:08] on this item.

[2:29:08] It's an in the operation of

[2:29:11] the transitional housing

[2:29:12] facility that's so wonderful.

[2:29:16] And the second good news is

[2:29:17] that 57,000 will be going to

[2:29:18] the general fund and its

[2:29:22] purchase is precious revenue.

[2:29:26] So let's use it wisely.

[2:29:31] I so before I say something

[2:29:32] that's sort of difficult Yes.

[2:29:35] To the ten year lease with

[2:29:36] the ywca of San Diego County so

[2:29:41] I just wanted to say this I've

[2:29:42] been doing this work for about

[2:29:46] 20 years now and I have really,

[2:29:46] really listened attentively

[2:29:50] most of the time to the voices

[2:29:51] And thank you Blair for what

[2:29:56] you just said.

[2:29:57] What I really like is that you

[2:29:57] said How can we talk about

[2:30:01] these things?

[2:30:02] And that's kind of where I am

[2:30:02] at.

[2:30:05] There's a sense of sadness in

[2:30:06] my heart because I want

[2:30:11] resolution and I want

[2:30:12] prevention and and I don't feel

[2:30:15] we're getting this and some of

[2:30:16] these really, really difficult

[2:30:20] items that are coming up that

[2:30:20] are being spoken to by

[2:30:21] the people of San Diego.

[2:30:25] So I don't know what to do

[2:30:25] about that.

[2:30:26] i just want I appreciate you

[2:30:27] listening to me but there's

[2:30:30] just sadness in my heart And

[2:30:34] how do we talk about these

[2:30:34] things?

[2:30:35] I want more clarity on all

[2:30:35] sides.

[2:30:39] So thanks for listening again

[2:30:40] and love to all.

[2:30:40] Thank you.

[2:30:41] Catherine Rhodes If you can

[2:30:43] please unmute me.

[2:30:48] >> Hello, this is Katherine

[2:30:49] Rhodes and of course I very

[2:30:49] much support this.

[2:30:56] You know it's only $56,633 to

[2:30:57] the general fund So you're

[2:31:01] actually giving to women who

[2:31:02] really need your help.

[2:31:02] One of the things that when I

[2:31:05] was just looking through this I

[2:31:06] saw that you only have annual

[2:31:10] rent increases of 3.5%, which

[2:31:10] is great.

[2:31:15] But I want to tell you, you

[2:31:15] know a similar thing that

[2:31:16] you're doing which is not so

[2:31:20] great for the San Diego Housing

[2:31:20] Commission.

[2:31:21] It's not it's doing that's not

[2:31:24] great for the Mount Edna

[2:31:25] properties where they're doing

[2:31:29] on county land up in Claremont

[2:31:34] your San Diego housing

[2:31:34] Commission is charging seniors

[2:31:35] and people with mental

[2:31:39] disability people that had

[2:31:40] mental retardation instead of

[2:31:43] the annual increase of only 3.5

[2:31:46] or lower they're increasing

[2:31:47] their rent by 8.8% for no

[2:31:51] reason When most of the money

[2:31:52] that came for building this

[2:31:56] came from the county of San

[2:31:57] Diego and from state tax

[2:31:57] credits Not really the San

[2:32:01] Diego Housing Commission put a

[2:32:02] little bit of money in it but

[2:32:05] it looks like they're trying to

[2:32:06] make money off the poor and

[2:32:11] the disabled and if these if

[2:32:16] you're giving this to ymca for

[2:32:16] an annual rent increases of

[2:32:17] only 3.5%, I would like

[2:32:21] somebody to to push this to

[2:32:22] your city attorney and

[2:32:26] the mayor's office and figure

[2:32:27] out why the San Diego Housing

[2:32:30] Commission is trying to charge

[2:32:30] an 8.8% increase that will make

[2:32:31] some of the seniors who moved

[2:32:34] there less than a year ago and

[2:32:35] some of the people with mental

[2:32:35] disability and mental

[2:32:39] retardation not be able to

[2:32:40] afford the rent anymore.

[2:32:43] So please somebody look into

[2:32:44] that.

[2:32:44] >> Thank you so much.

[2:32:45] Thank you.

[2:32:45] That does conclude public

[2:32:49] comment on this item.

[2:32:49] >> All right.

[2:35:13] Yeah my colleagues have run

[2:35:13] out.

[2:35:14] We do not have a quorum so we

[2:35:17] have to adjourn the meeting at

[2:35:18] the direction of the city

[2:35:21] attorney which I concur with

[2:35:27] sadly and frustrated with So if

[2:35:28] you don't have a quorum then

[2:35:29] the public can actually take

[2:35:33] over the meeting So that's

[2:35:33] the problem.

[2:35:34] Okay Until that recording says

[2:35:35] that I'm the one that brought

[2:35:40] it to your attention that I

[2:35:41] would like to invoke that right

[2:35:41] now This is serious.

[2:35:42] >> I'm serious right now.

[2:35:42] Okay.

[2:35:45] To the point that security lets

[2:35:45] you stay in here, that's fine.

[2:35:49] The meeting itself is adjourned

[2:35:50] under the Brown Act.

[2:35:50] Yes, but I called Robert's

[2:35:51] Rules.

[2:35:55] That's fine to you doing that.

[2:35:55] I am the one that brought it to

[2:35:59] your attention that you did not

[2:35:59] have a quorum.

[2:36:00] You didn't know that until I

[2:36:01] said something And now you're

[2:36:04] trying to circumvent that and

[2:36:05] say that as long as security

[2:36:06] let me say so are you

[2:36:09] threatening that you're going

[2:36:10] to have them come after me

[2:36:11] because I'm trying to take over

[2:36:13] a meeting that you negligent

[2:36:14] Lee did not have a quorum for

[2:36:15] that.

[2:36:18] We're continuing with so like

[2:36:19] through Robert's Rules of

[2:36:19] Order.

[2:36:24] Okay.

[2:36:24] All right.

[2:36:25] You've made your point.

[2:36:25] I understand it that you no

[2:36:29] longer can be in control of

[2:36:29] the meeting.

[2:36:30] >> Okay, that's fine.

[2:36:30] Okay, that's fine.

[2:36:31] That's fine.

[2:36:31] You've made your point.

[2:36:33] I understand the point that

[2:36:34] you've made.

[2:36:34] >> Please, please.

[2:36:38] I'm telling you you had no

[2:36:39] Okay, I understand your point.

[2:36:43] >> You are now going to

[2:36:43] the point of being disruptive

[2:36:44] about legality.

[2:36:47] You cannot continue the meeting

[2:36:48] .

[2:36:48] >> That's right.

[2:36:49] We are now ending the meeting.

[2:36:52] No, Now you know what I'm doing

[2:36:53] and you're trying to circumvent

[2:36:53] that because you're scared

[2:36:54] that what just happened.

[2:36:57] I'm not correct.

[2:36:58] Okay.

[2:36:59] If I invoke Robert's Rules of

[2:37:00] Order when you do that you can

[2:37:05] no longer run the meeting is

[2:37:31] adjourned as city council and

[2:37:41] everybody and you're trying to

[2:37:42] Why would you try and stop this
