Dear Heavenly Father,

00:11:58,810 --> 00:12:01,210
Thank you, Father, for all

00:12:01,210 --> 00:12:04,150
Thank you for blessing us

75
00:12:04,150 --> 00:12:06,070

I ask you to pray for our
family, our community.

81
00:12:26,390 --> 00:12:29,870
Just put a hedge of protection
over all of us, Lord.

82
00:12:29,870 --> 00:12:34,950
And I plead the blood of
Jesus over all the people

83
00:12:34,950 --> 00:12:37,690
that are here right now.

84
00:12:37,690 --> 00:12:46,770
And Lord, I just ask you to
just help us to give us peace,

85
00:12:46,770 --> 00:12:49,270
give us love, and unity, Lord.

86
00:12:49,270 --> 00:12:53,350

name I pray, amen.

I'll hand it over

00:15:28,850 --> 00:15:32,430

159
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:51,100
And then I didn't know
if our acting city

160
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:52,820
clerk wanted to say
a few words, but I

161
00:15:52,820 --> 00:15:54,540
just wanted to thank her again.

162
00:15:54,540 --> 00:15:56,460

duty right now.

166
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,180
But Alicia, if you wanted
to say a few words.

167
00:16:07,180 --> 00:16:10,300
I just want to say that I'm
happy to help continue serving

168
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,580
La Palma, and covering
this need until we

00:16:13,580 --> 00:16:15,600
find a more permanent solution.

170
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,100
Yes.

171
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:17,040

His first day was yesterday.

179
00:16:35,820 --> 00:16:38,220
Officer Dvaughn Jackson.

180
00:16:38,220 --> 00:16:40,460
Dvaughn, if you can walk up
here and stand at the podium

181
00:16:40,460 --> 00:16:44,420
while I talk about
you for a minute.

182
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:48,820
Dvaughn went through an
extensive testing with us

183
00:16:48,820 --> 00:16:54,060
that included a
competitive interview,

184
00:16:54,060 --> 00:16:57,680
an extensive background
investigation, psychological,

185
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,140
and medical screening.

186
00:16:59,140 --> 00:17:02,980
And it's my privilege for
him to be my very first

187
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:05,339
appointee since I've been here.

188
00:17:05,339 --> 00:17:07,579
Dvaughn grew up in
North Long Beach.

189
00:17:07,579 --> 00:17:10,319
He went to Paramount High
School and Lakewood High School,

190
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:13,020
where he competed
in track and field.

191
00:17:13,020 --> 00:17:16,900
He attended Cerritos College
and Long Beach City College.

192
00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:20,020
He worked as a EMT before
attending the police

193
00:17:20,020 --> 00:17:22,260
academy at the Golden
West College Criminal

194
00:17:22,260 --> 00:17:24,380
Justice Training Center.

195
00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:26,819
Then he worked for the
Orange Police Department

196
00:17:26,819 --> 00:17:29,500
as a police officer
and a jailer.

197
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:31,840
And we are really excited
to have him on board.

198
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,640
We think he's going
to be a great fit.

199
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:39,940


200
00:17:39,940 --> 00:17:42,700
And Officer Jackson, if you
would like to say a few words

201
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:44,020
to the city council.

202
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:45,140
Yes, sir.

203
00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:47,700
This mic?

204
00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:50,860
Good evening, Mayor, city
council members, chief,

205
00:17:50,860 --> 00:17:52,700
members of the La Palma
Police Department,

206
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:54,420
and members of the community.

207
00:17:54,420 --> 00:17:56,740
I'm truly honored and grateful
for the opportunity to join

208
00:17:56,740 --> 00:17:58,707
the La Palma Police Department.

209
00:17:58,707 --> 00:18:00,140
Becoming a police
officer in this community

210
00:18:00,140 --> 00:18:02,220
is something I do
not take lightly.

211
00:18:02,220 --> 00:18:04,620
I'm excited to serve the
residents of La Palma,

212
00:18:04,620 --> 00:18:06,780
build strong relationships
with the community,

213
00:18:06,780 --> 00:18:09,140
and represent this department
with professionalism,

214
00:18:09,140 --> 00:18:11,220
integrity, and respect.

215
00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:14,400
I'm looking forward to learning
from the officers around me,

216
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,180
continuing to grow, and
giving my best every day.

217
00:18:17,180 --> 00:18:19,260
Thank you to the
city council chief,

218
00:18:19,260 --> 00:18:22,340
department staff, my family,
and everyone who supported

219
00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:24,300
me throughout this journey.

220
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:25,980
I'm proud to be here,
and I'm excited to serve

221
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:27,120
the city of La Palma.

222
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:27,640
Thank you.

223
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:33,740


224
00:18:33,740 --> 00:18:34,880
Thank you, Officer.

225
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,660
And then now, I'm going to turn
it over to our acting community

226
00:18:37,660 --> 00:18:39,500
development and
public works director

227
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:43,540
to introduce our new
water worker one.

228
00:18:43,540 --> 00:18:44,980
Good evening,
Mayor, city council,

229
00:18:44,980 --> 00:18:46,540
and members of the public.

230
00:18:46,540 --> 00:18:48,180
I have the pleasure
of introducing

231
00:18:48,180 --> 00:18:50,780
Johnny Smith, our new
water service water worker.

232
00:18:50,780 --> 00:18:51,840
If you don't mind, Johnny.

233
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,540


234
00:18:55,540 --> 00:18:57,920
Johnny was born and raised
in Long Beach, California.

235
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,060
He has two associate
degrees in mathematics

236
00:19:00,060 --> 00:19:02,920
and physical science from
Long Beach City College,

237
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,180
and he's currently working
on more certification

238
00:19:05,180 --> 00:19:08,420
in water distribution
and water treatment

239
00:19:08,420 --> 00:19:11,740
in American Water College.

240
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:14,740
He wants to continue
his education,

241
00:19:14,740 --> 00:19:16,140
studying at American
Water College,

242
00:19:16,140 --> 00:19:19,820
to better serve the City of
La Palma with certifications.

243
00:19:19,820 --> 00:19:21,940
He likes spending
time with his family,

244
00:19:21,940 --> 00:19:25,020
long hikes, and playing video
games in his spare time.

245
00:19:25,020 --> 00:19:26,940
Please.

246
00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:27,580
Welcome, Johnny.

247
00:19:27,580 --> 00:19:30,646
If you have anything
to say, by all means.

248
00:19:30,646 --> 00:19:32,780
I'll just say, thank
you for the opportunity.

249
00:19:32,780 --> 00:19:36,500
And I look forward to working
hard for the city of La Palma.

250
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:37,380
Thank you, Johnny.

251
00:19:37,380 --> 00:20:01,460


252
00:20:01,460 --> 00:20:02,060
Testing?

253
00:20:02,060 --> 00:20:02,740
Oh, works.

254
00:20:02,740 --> 00:20:03,280
OK.

255
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,700


256
00:20:07,700 --> 00:20:12,220
OK, so the first one, I'd
like to bring up Ms. Cindy

257
00:20:12,220 --> 00:20:16,300
Ferguson and Jill Bellinger.

258
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:18,760
Please come on up for
Constitution Week.

259
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,400
And we're going to give
you a proclamation.

260
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,940
And then I'm going to have you
speak, and where you're from,

261
00:20:25,940 --> 00:20:27,200
and what organization.

262
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,300
Because we really love to
celebrate Constitutional Week,

263
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:32,800
and the history of America.

264
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,460


265
00:20:35,460 --> 00:20:39,240
OK, whereas the Constitution of
the United States of America,

266
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,940
the guardian of our liberties,
embodies the principles

267
00:20:42,940 --> 00:20:46,340
of limited government in a
Republic dedicated to the rule

268
00:20:46,340 --> 00:20:49,840
by law, and whereas
September 17,

269
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,020
2026 marks the 239th
anniversary of the framing

270
00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:57,860
of the Constitution of the
United States of America

271
00:20:57,860 --> 00:21:00,300
by the Constitutional
Convention,

272
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:03,860
and whereas it is fitting
and proper to accord official

273
00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:09,220
recognition to this magnificent
document and its memorable

274
00:21:09,220 --> 00:21:12,940
anniversary, and to the
patriotic celebrations

275
00:21:12,940 --> 00:21:15,460
which will commemorate it.

276
00:21:15,460 --> 00:21:19,980
Whereas public law 915
guarantees the issuing

277
00:21:19,980 --> 00:21:23,780
of a proclamation each year
by the President of the United

278
00:21:23,780 --> 00:21:27,620
States of America, designated
September 17 through

279
00:21:27,620 --> 00:21:31,340
23rd as Constitution Week.

280
00:21:31,340 --> 00:21:33,980
Now therefore, be it proclaimed
that the city council

281
00:21:33,980 --> 00:21:37,620
of the City of La Palma hereby
proclaims the week of September

282
00:21:37,620 --> 00:21:41,860
17 through 26th as
Constitution Week,

283
00:21:41,860 --> 00:21:46,580
and encourages the citizens of
La Palma to reaffirm the ideals

284
00:21:46,580 --> 00:21:50,920
that the framers of the
Constitution had in 1787

285
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,820
by vigilantly
protecting the freedoms

286
00:21:53,820 --> 00:21:58,300
guaranteed to us through the
guardian of our liberties.

287
00:21:58,300 --> 00:22:00,560
Congratulations, and
thank you for coming.

288
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,220
I'm going to pass
this to you first.

289
00:22:03,220 --> 00:22:04,500
And then I'm going
to give you the mic

290
00:22:04,500 --> 00:22:06,880
to be able to say something.

291
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:07,380
Oh yeah.

292
00:22:07,380 --> 00:22:08,700
I was going to take
it after, but--

293
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:10,460
[INAUDIBLE]

294
00:22:10,460 --> 00:22:11,220
Yeah, no.

295
00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:28,340


296
00:22:28,340 --> 00:22:29,120
I'm going to take one.

297
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:29,840
There we go.

298
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,020
[LAUGHS]

299
00:22:31,020 --> 00:22:35,412
[INAUDIBLE]

300
00:22:35,412 --> 00:22:36,160
Thank you.

301
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,120
Give me one second.

302
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:40,220


303
00:22:40,220 --> 00:22:41,580
Thank you so much.

304
00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:44,260
It's an honor to be
here again this year.

305
00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:47,540
Also, just a little
tidbit, September 17

306
00:22:47,540 --> 00:22:50,540
is also the
Star-Spangled Banner Day.

307
00:22:50,540 --> 00:22:53,460
So we celebrate a lot
about our Constitution

308
00:22:53,460 --> 00:22:56,020
and American history.

309
00:22:56,020 --> 00:23:01,300
I have been with the Mojave
Chapter DAR since 2000.

310
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:04,580
So 20, 25, almost 26 years now.

311
00:23:04,580 --> 00:23:06,920
And it's a wonderful
organization.

312
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,000
We have many awards.

313
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,480
I've been to
Kennedy High School,

314
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,740
awarded the DAR Good
Citizen, the JROTC Awards.

315
00:23:14,740 --> 00:23:18,060
And I'm so sorry the
program is no longer.

316
00:23:18,060 --> 00:23:22,780
But hopefully, the students can
go into one of the other units.

317
00:23:22,780 --> 00:23:24,560
And we have many other things.

318
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,340
And hopefully, I'm working on
some Police Explorer awards

319
00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:29,780
right now too.

320
00:23:29,780 --> 00:23:33,660
So we have many awards
available for the community.

321
00:23:33,660 --> 00:23:36,740
Anything you'd
like to say, Jill?

322
00:23:36,740 --> 00:23:38,820
We are a patriot
organization who

323
00:23:38,820 --> 00:23:44,180
supports historic preservation,
education, and patriotism.

324
00:23:44,180 --> 00:23:45,940
So we do not lobby.

325
00:23:45,940 --> 00:23:48,960
We do not support politicians,
although we do vote.

326
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,520
[LAUGHS]

327
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:50,020


328
00:23:50,020 --> 00:23:52,700
But at our meetings, we
are non-denominational

329
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:53,880
and not political.

330
00:23:53,880 --> 00:24:00,360
So patriotic, educational, and
preservation are our standard.

331
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:02,960
So thank you very much for
honoring the Constitution.

332
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,320
We are so pleased
that you do that.

333
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,920
And we are happy to
welcome it from you.

334
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:08,920
Thank you very much.

335
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,300
Thank you so much.

336
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:15,240
A little full circle because
when I saw her in the audience,

337
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,520
I was like, I know her.

338
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:17,200
I know her.

339
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,140
And then she goes, I gave
your daughter a award.

340
00:24:21,140 --> 00:24:23,900
My daughter has, for
three years in a row,

341
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:26,240
had the Daughters of
American Revolution, right?

342
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,820
She has been presented
that award every year

343
00:24:30,820 --> 00:24:33,400
from her from being in JROTC.

344
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,680
So it was a full
circle to see her here.

345
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,060
And I was like, oh, wow.

346
00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:39,540
Well, thank you very
much for all that you do.

347
00:24:39,540 --> 00:24:40,240
Thank you.

348
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:50,740


349
00:24:50,740 --> 00:24:53,540
So we're going to
recognize September

350
00:24:53,540 --> 00:24:55,580
as Hunger Action Month.

351
00:24:55,580 --> 00:24:58,700
If we can have Miss
Madelynn, president

352
00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:01,380
and chief executive
officer of Meals On Wheels

353
00:25:01,380 --> 00:25:03,660
with Orange County, come up.

354
00:25:03,660 --> 00:25:05,320
Did you want to bring
Alejandro up, too?

355
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:05,820
[INAUDIBLE]

356
00:25:05,820 --> 00:25:09,060
OK, Alejandro, come on up.

357
00:25:09,060 --> 00:25:11,240
The good thing is,
I remember the name.

358
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,280
I'm so sorry.

359
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,880
But Alejandro, I remember you.

360
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:14,420
There you go.

361
00:25:14,420 --> 00:25:17,540
That's my good friend's name.

362
00:25:17,540 --> 00:25:20,560
OK, so I'm going to
present this proclamation.

363
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,700
And I mean, this just has some
of the things that you do.

364
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:25,900
And we are so proud
to be able to have

365
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:27,890
you partner with
us and everything

366
00:25:27,890 --> 00:25:29,690
that you do for our city.

367
00:25:29,690 --> 00:25:33,250
Whereas hunger and poverty
are issues of vital concern

368
00:25:33,250 --> 00:25:35,930
in California, where
approximately 22%

369
00:25:35,930 --> 00:25:39,930
of California households and
27% of households with children

370
00:25:39,930 --> 00:25:42,250
experience food insecurity.

371
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:44,330
Whereas the City of La
Palma is committed to taking

372
00:25:44,330 --> 00:25:47,450
steps to combat hunger in
every part of our community,

373
00:25:47,450 --> 00:25:49,610
and to provide additional
resources that those

374
00:25:49,610 --> 00:25:51,310
in the City of La Palma need.

375
00:25:51,310 --> 00:25:54,490
Whereas the City of La Palma is
committed to working with the OC

376
00:25:54,490 --> 00:25:57,610
Hunger Alliance and educating
people about the role

377
00:25:57,610 --> 00:26:01,610
and importance of food banks
and the charitable food systems

378
00:26:01,610 --> 00:26:04,610
in addressing hunger,
and raising awareness

379
00:26:04,610 --> 00:26:06,770
of the need to
devote more resources

380
00:26:06,770 --> 00:26:09,590
and attention to hunger issues.

381
00:26:09,590 --> 00:26:13,930
Whereas in 2025, Orange County
Food Bank and Second Harvest

382
00:26:13,930 --> 00:26:21,530
Food Bank collectively recorded
an average of 808,473 individual

383
00:26:21,530 --> 00:26:25,690
food distribution visits
per month from our community

384
00:26:25,690 --> 00:26:28,490
members facing food insecurity.

385
00:26:28,490 --> 00:26:32,870
Whereas in 2025, Orange
County Food Bank and-- oh no.

386
00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:38,390
Whereas Abound Food Care helps
to facilitate the recovery of 25

387
00:26:38,390 --> 00:26:44,490
million pounds of excess edible
food in Orange County each year,

388
00:26:44,490 --> 00:26:46,330
reducing food
waste, and providing

389
00:26:46,330 --> 00:26:48,690
the food to those who need it.

390
00:26:48,690 --> 00:26:52,130
Whereas Meals on Wheels Orange
County prepared and delivered

391
00:26:52,130 --> 00:26:59,410
1,272,000 meals in 2025,
providing older adults

392
00:26:59,410 --> 00:27:02,770
and vulnerable neighbors
with vital nutrition,

393
00:27:02,770 --> 00:27:06,970
compassionate support, and
services promoting health,

394
00:27:06,970 --> 00:27:09,370
independence, and dignity.

395
00:27:09,370 --> 00:27:12,290
Whereas food banks and
other organizations

396
00:27:12,290 --> 00:27:15,370
across the country, including
the members of the OC Hunger

397
00:27:15,370 --> 00:27:18,130
Alliance, will host events
throughout the month

398
00:27:18,130 --> 00:27:22,450
of September to bring awareness
and help end food insecurity

399
00:27:22,450 --> 00:27:24,090
in our local community.

400
00:27:24,090 --> 00:27:26,370
Now therefore, be it proclaimed
that the City Council

401
00:27:26,370 --> 00:27:30,370
of the City of La Palma
hereby proclaim September 2026

402
00:27:30,370 --> 00:27:33,290
as Hunger Action Month,
and enlists the public

403
00:27:33,290 --> 00:27:37,390
in the movement to end
hunger by taking action,

404
00:27:37,390 --> 00:27:41,730
including volunteering,
donating, and advocating

405
00:27:41,730 --> 00:27:47,290
to ensure every community and
everybody in it has the food

406
00:27:47,290 --> 00:27:49,410
that they need to thrive.

407
00:27:49,410 --> 00:27:51,730
We thank you for
all that you do,

408
00:27:51,730 --> 00:27:54,630
and we appreciate that
you do God's work.

409
00:27:54,630 --> 00:28:00,730


410
00:28:00,730 --> 00:28:01,610
Hello.

411
00:28:01,610 --> 00:28:04,750
So good evening, mayor,
city council, and of course,

412
00:28:04,750 --> 00:28:06,030
the community of La Palma.

413
00:28:06,030 --> 00:28:08,370
My name is Madelynn
Hirneise, and I'm

414
00:28:08,370 --> 00:28:11,130
here excited to share
on behalf of Meals

415
00:28:11,130 --> 00:28:12,190
on Wheels Orange County.

416
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:15,570
We are a very proud member
of the OC Hunger Alliance.

417
00:28:15,570 --> 00:28:18,030
Now the mayor captured
everything so beautifully,

418
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:19,070
so I won't repeat it.

419
00:28:19,070 --> 00:28:22,170
But I do want to encourage
all of you to get involved.

420
00:28:22,170 --> 00:28:26,780
Let's make awareness the reality
that hunger is affecting 1

421
00:28:26,780 --> 00:28:28,630
in 6 children in Orange County.

422
00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:30,570
And most people
don't realize that.

423
00:28:30,570 --> 00:28:37,158
So I just encourage all of you,
go to [? feedoc.com/ham, ?]

424
00:28:37,158 --> 00:28:40,050
Hunger Action Month, to find
out more ways to get involved

425
00:28:40,050 --> 00:28:41,690
in your local
community so that we

426
00:28:41,690 --> 00:28:43,530
can really share that
the need is real,

427
00:28:43,530 --> 00:28:45,110
and we're here to end it.

428
00:28:45,110 --> 00:28:47,970
So thank you all.

429
00:28:47,970 --> 00:28:48,790
Thank you.

430
00:28:48,790 --> 00:29:18,010


431
00:29:18,010 --> 00:29:19,630
Oh, now we got a big night.

432
00:29:19,630 --> 00:29:26,070

00:29:26,070 --> 00:29:28,810
I'm just [INAUDIBLE].

434
00:29:28,810 --> 00:29:31,450
I'm going to call up
Principal Hill-Bonales

435
00:29:31,450 --> 00:29:35,910

certificates, if that's OK.

00:29:35,910 --> 00:29:41,530

volleyball come in.

00:29:44,550 --> 00:29:47,810


439
00:29:47,810 --> 00:29:49,890
Oh, you made it.

440
00:29:49,890 --> 00:29:50,550

441
00:29:50,550 --> 00:29:56,690

And I know you put in this--

Coach [? Micks, ?] you
put in a lot of work.

464
00:30:39,390 --> 00:30:40,630
But your work pays off.

say a few words.

541
00:35:09,850 --> 00:35:12,330
So come back in, boys.

542
00:35:12,330 --> 00:35:15,046
Hiro, get back in here.

543
00:35:15,046 --> 00:35:16,480
He just took off.

544
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,840
Yeah, he's running.

545
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:19,620
Yeah, I won't be long.

546
00:35:19,620 --> 00:35:22,580
I just, a lot of
these guys are gone.

547
00:35:22,580 --> 00:35:24,420
We have four
returners coming back,

548
00:35:24,420 --> 00:35:25,960
so a lot of seniors this year.

549
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,440
First time I've seen a lot of
these guys since graduation

550
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:29,860
and the last week of school.

551
00:35:29,860 --> 00:35:31,340
So it's good to see them.

552
00:35:31,340 --> 00:35:34,800
We always are appreciative
of how you guys recognize us

553
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,360
as a school, and some
of our sports teams,

554
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:38,100
and stuff like that.

555
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:42,340
We've been here a few times now,
and it's just a high class act.

556
00:35:42,340 --> 00:35:44,880
And we really appreciate the
City of La Palma and everybody

557
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,560
taking the time to reach
out, and honor these kids,

558
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,580
and their parents
for their hard work.

559
00:35:49,580 --> 00:35:52,980
A lot of it doesn't
get seen sometimes.

560
00:35:52,980 --> 00:35:56,800
And so it's great to be able
to experience that with them

561
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,540
and have that support.

562
00:35:58,540 --> 00:36:00,080

Can we have girls
swimming come in?

00:36:17,700 --> 00:36:24,960


568
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,940
Is this a freestyle?

569
00:36:25,940 --> 00:36:29,040
Oh, they're all freestyle.

OK, well, I know that a lot
of you have won, I think,

573
00:36:41,340 --> 00:36:44,020
individual awards too, right?

574
00:36:44,020 --> 00:36:46,780
Or it's a group championship.

575
00:36:46,780 --> 00:36:48,780
It's both and individual.

576
00:36:48,780 --> 00:36:51,600
So give me some time
to recognize you

577
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,820
for your individual
accomplishments, too.

578
00:36:53,820 --> 00:36:55,240
So when I call your
name, I'm going

579
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:58,410
to look to see if it was a group
or an individual accomplishment.

580
00:36:58,410 --> 00:36:58,910
OK?

581
00:36:58,910 --> 00:37:02,360

all of you guys here,

especially the
seniors who graduated,

793
00:46:14,550 --> 00:46:16,710
to come back to this award.

794
00:46:16,710 --> 00:46:19,870
And the city council,
thank you for doing this.

795
00:46:19,870 --> 00:46:22,790
All the other coaches
around Orange County, this

796
00:46:22,790 --> 00:46:24,570
is the only city that
I know that does that.

797
00:46:24,570 --> 00:46:27,550
And these guys
work very hard not

798
00:46:27,550 --> 00:46:30,910
only to try to be a champion,
but to be recognized.

799
00:46:30,910 --> 00:46:34,190
And this is really important
that they're being recognized

800
00:46:34,190 --> 00:46:35,790
for all their hard work.

801
00:46:35,790 --> 00:46:39,430
And the reason why I'd like them
all picture together because

802
00:46:39,430 --> 00:46:40,730
these kids train together.

803
00:46:40,730 --> 00:46:44,090
And we also have a couple
meets where they compete co-ed.

And it's a really unique
and fun experience.

Appreciate your hard work,
especially when a couple of you,

807
00:46:51,410 --> 00:46:53,150
we wouldn't let out
of the shallow end

808
00:46:53,150 --> 00:46:54,430
because you would drown.

809
00:46:54,430 --> 00:46:57,230
I don't know why you would join
swim when you don't know how to.

best this year will have.

years ago, we started this.

And what he just said that I
don't think anybody in Orange

819
00:47:21,030 --> 00:47:22,530
County recognizes students.

820
00:47:22,530 --> 00:47:27,390
And as I was saying earlier when
I was talking to our residents,

821
00:47:27,390 --> 00:47:30,390
this is important because
you guys are our future.

hard work that you're putting,

823

you're seeing your
accomplishments from it.

00:47:35,690 --> 00:47:39,930
So even if they're big or small,
but they're accomplishments.

You're laying the
foundation for your future.

So congratulations
to you, but you

827
00:47:44,430 --> 00:47:46,590

that is leading,

828
00:47:46,590 --> 00:47:49,330

cares for students.

Because to get this list to us,
to work with the city, on top

830
00:47:53,270 --> 00:47:54,910
of everything that
she does, so let's

00:50:28,270 --> 00:50:31,670
I won't take too much
of the council's time.

878
00:50:31,670 --> 00:50:33,630
I was just reaching
out to the council

879
00:50:33,630 --> 00:50:39,550
to request the
council to consider

880
00:50:39,550 --> 00:50:45,910
discontinuing the use of, and
or shutting down ALPR devices.

881
00:50:45,910 --> 00:50:47,670
These are the
automatic license plate

882
00:50:47,670 --> 00:50:51,470
reader cameras, which have
been in the news quite a bit

883
00:50:51,470 --> 00:50:53,150
recently.

884
00:50:53,150 --> 00:51:00,270
Brands such as Flocks or
Axon may come to mind.

885
00:51:00,270 --> 00:51:03,230
So my concern is
that this technology

886
00:51:03,230 --> 00:51:06,670
hasn't been fully proven yet.

887
00:51:06,670 --> 00:51:09,430
There's been a lot of
cases of misidentification,

888
00:51:09,430 --> 00:51:12,430
causing a lot of problems.

889
00:51:12,430 --> 00:51:20,470
Along with that, there's
also a privacy standpoint,

890
00:51:20,470 --> 00:51:25,930
where the devices
collect a lot of data

891
00:51:25,930 --> 00:51:28,750
from folks who
might not be aware

892
00:51:28,750 --> 00:51:31,190
that their devices
are transmitting

893
00:51:31,190 --> 00:51:35,330
a lot of information
to these ALPR devices.

894
00:51:35,330 --> 00:51:40,590
So those are just a few of the
reasons why asking the council

895
00:51:40,590 --> 00:51:43,990
to consider
discontinuing the use of,

896
00:51:43,990 --> 00:51:47,710
and maybe even
removing the cameras.

00:51:47,710 --> 00:51:51,210
Thank you again for your time.

898
00:51:51,210 --> 00:51:51,710

00:52:14,190 --> 00:52:16,530
I'll make a motion to
approve the consent calendar.

913
00:52:16,530 --> 00:52:17,030
Is there a--

914
00:52:17,030 --> 00:52:17,530
Second.

915
00:52:17,530 --> 00:52:20,150
OK, there was a
motion by Mayor Pro

916
00:52:20,150 --> 00:52:25,710
Tem Debbie Baker and a second
by Council Member Vikesh Patel.

917
00:52:25,710 --> 00:52:27,670
Roll call.

918
00:52:27,670 --> 00:52:29,510
Council Member Keo Conklin.

919
00:52:29,510 --> 00:52:31,430
Aye.

920
00:52:31,430 --> 00:52:33,010
Council Member Vikesh Patel.

921
00:52:33,010 --> 00:52:34,710
Yes.

922
00:52:34,710 --> 00:52:35,990
Council Member Waldman.

923
00:52:35,990 --> 00:52:37,790
Aye.

924
00:52:37,790 --> 00:52:39,370
Mayor Pro Tem Debbie Baker.

925
00:52:39,370 --> 00:52:40,770
Aye.

926
00:52:40,770 --> 00:52:42,470
Mayor Nitesh Patel.

927
00:52:42,470 --> 00:52:44,190
Yes.

928
00:52:44,190 --> 00:52:45,730
Motion carries unanimously.

929
00:52:45,730 --> 00:52:46,230
Great.

930
00:52:46,230 --> 00:52:46,990
Thank you.

931
00:52:46,990 --> 00:52:49,990
Moving on to the regular
items, economic development

932
00:52:49,990 --> 00:52:54,030
and business engagement
ad hoc committee.

933
00:52:54,030 --> 00:52:58,210
I'm going to pass it
to our city manager.

934
00:52:58,210 --> 00:53:00,430
Yes, thank you, Mayor.

935
00:53:00,430 --> 00:53:02,630
So before the city
council this evening

936
00:53:02,630 --> 00:53:05,750
is the newly proposed economic
development and business

937
00:53:05,750 --> 00:53:07,690
engagement ad hoc committee.

938
00:53:07,690 --> 00:53:11,606


939
00:53:11,606 --> 00:53:13,490
Ooh, may not work here.

940
00:53:13,490 --> 00:53:15,310
The clicker may not work.

941
00:53:15,310 --> 00:53:16,590
Thank you.

942
00:53:16,590 --> 00:53:19,030
Over the years, the city
council has established

943
00:53:19,030 --> 00:53:22,750
several distinct advisory bodies
to support business engagement

944
00:53:22,750 --> 00:53:24,670
and land use planning.

945
00:53:24,670 --> 00:53:27,030
The business task force
was originally created

946
00:53:27,030 --> 00:53:30,830
in December 2012 to succeed
the business subcommittee

947
00:53:30,830 --> 00:53:33,910
and address local
business concerns.

948
00:53:33,910 --> 00:53:37,830
In January 2019, the business
engagement ad hoc committee was

949
00:53:37,830 --> 00:53:41,510
established to directly
engage local businesses

950
00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:44,470
and foster economic vitality.

951
00:53:44,470 --> 00:53:49,990
Most recently, in December 2023,
the Economic Development Land

952
00:53:49,990 --> 00:53:53,990
Use Advisory Ad Hoc Committee
was created for a one-year term

953
00:53:53,990 --> 00:53:58,470
to analyze land use issues and
connect with property owners.

954
00:53:58,470 --> 00:54:03,790
Both Mayor Nitesh Patel and
Mayor Pro Tem Debbie Baker

955
00:54:03,790 --> 00:54:07,790
were appointed at the December
9, 2025 council meeting

956
00:54:07,790 --> 00:54:10,590
to serve on all three
business or economic

957
00:54:10,590 --> 00:54:14,370
development-related bodies.

958
00:54:14,370 --> 00:54:15,430
Is this is working?

959
00:54:15,430 --> 00:54:17,950
Yes, thank you.

960
00:54:17,950 --> 00:54:20,950
On March 3, 2026,
the city council

961
00:54:20,950 --> 00:54:24,250
adopted its 2026
goals and objectives,

962
00:54:24,250 --> 00:54:28,510
which included a specific
objective to consolidate

963
00:54:28,510 --> 00:54:32,590
these three advisory bodies
into a single unified committee

964
00:54:32,590 --> 00:54:36,950
to foster better coordination,
enhance clarity, and maximize

965
00:54:36,950 --> 00:54:39,510
administrative efficiency.

966
00:54:39,510 --> 00:54:42,470
The new committee will
work cooperatively

967
00:54:42,470 --> 00:54:45,950
with the city manager and
designated staff on key business

968
00:54:45,950 --> 00:54:49,620
outreach initiatives related
to the implementation of the

969
00:54:49,620 --> 00:54:52,860
Economic Development Plan 2030.

970
00:54:52,860 --> 00:54:55,060
These duties include
selecting honorees

971
00:54:55,060 --> 00:54:57,500
for the Quarterly
Business Spotlight Award,

972
00:54:57,500 --> 00:54:59,700
and hosting an
annual business mixer

973
00:54:59,700 --> 00:55:01,940
to strengthen
local relationships

974
00:55:01,940 --> 00:55:06,420
and support business
retention and expansion.

975
00:55:06,420 --> 00:55:08,340
Additionally, the
committee may provide

976
00:55:08,340 --> 00:55:11,980
policy and advisory oversight
on land use matters,

977
00:55:11,980 --> 00:55:15,260
and the continued implementation
of the economic development

978
00:55:15,260 --> 00:55:17,620
plan 2030.

979
00:55:17,620 --> 00:55:19,420
Next slide.

980
00:55:19,420 --> 00:55:23,140
Committee members will provide
periodic updates on development

981
00:55:23,140 --> 00:55:24,900
and business
engagement activities

982
00:55:24,900 --> 00:55:29,900
during council member AB
1234 Reports at regular city

983
00:55:29,900 --> 00:55:31,420
council meetings.

984
00:55:31,420 --> 00:55:33,700
The committee is
temporary in nature

985
00:55:33,700 --> 00:55:39,180
and will dissolve on December
12, 2028, which is the December

986
00:55:39,180 --> 00:55:42,180
2028 council meeting,
unless otherwise

987
00:55:42,180 --> 00:55:44,500
determined by the city council.

988
00:55:44,500 --> 00:55:45,980
Next slide.

989
00:55:45,980 --> 00:55:48,820
So it is the staff's
recommendation that the city

990
00:55:48,820 --> 00:55:50,860
council do the following.

991
00:55:50,860 --> 00:55:53,820
Adopt a resolution establishing
the Economic Development

992
00:55:53,820 --> 00:55:56,740
and Business Engagement
Ad Hoc Committee,

993
00:55:56,740 --> 00:55:59,100
adopt amended
council policy number

994
00:55:59,100 --> 00:56:02,980
8 governing economic development
and business engagement,

995
00:56:02,980 --> 00:56:05,820
and appoint two council
members to serve on

996
00:56:05,820 --> 00:56:08,140
the new Economic
Development and Business

997
00:56:08,140 --> 00:56:10,540
Engagement Ad Hoc Committee.

998
00:56:10,540 --> 00:56:12,460
This concludes the
presentation, and I'm

999
00:56:12,460 --> 00:56:13,780
available to answer
any questions

1000
00:56:13,780 --> 00:56:15,040
the city council may have.

1001
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,220
Thank you.

1002
00:56:17,220 --> 00:56:21,340
Are there any comments from
the public on this first?

1003
00:56:21,340 --> 00:56:22,980
Seeing none.

1004
00:56:22,980 --> 00:56:26,080
Any comments online
telephonically?

1005
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:29,740


1006
00:56:29,740 --> 00:56:31,520
Mr. Mayor, there are
no hands raised online.

1007
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,220
Thank you, Madam Clerk.

1008
00:56:34,220 --> 00:56:38,580
Questions or comments
from council?

1009
00:56:38,580 --> 00:56:41,060
Is there a motion?

1010
00:56:41,060 --> 00:56:47,020
So I would like to make a motion
to approve this item, and also

1011
00:56:47,020 --> 00:56:50,860
for item number three,
for the members to remain

1012
00:56:50,860 --> 00:56:54,380
the same for Mayor
Patel and for myself

1013
00:56:54,380 --> 00:56:58,480
to stay on this committee.

1014
00:56:58,480 --> 00:56:58,980
Second.

1015
00:56:58,980 --> 00:57:00,100
Second.

1016
00:57:00,100 --> 00:57:04,500
OK, we have a motion
by Mayor Pro Tem Debbie

1017
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:10,980
Baker to adopt 1, 2,
and 3 with the intent

1018
00:57:10,980 --> 00:57:13,860
for Mayor Pro Tem
Debbie Baker to serve

1019
00:57:13,860 --> 00:57:16,600
and myself, Nitesh
Patel, to serve.

1020
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:21,300
And there was a second by
Council Member Vikesh Patel.

1021
00:57:21,300 --> 00:57:24,100
Roll call, please.

1022
00:57:24,100 --> 00:57:26,140
Council Member Keo Conklin.

1023
00:57:26,140 --> 00:57:27,820
Aye.

1024
00:57:27,820 --> 00:57:29,460
Council Member Vikesh Patel.

1025
00:57:29,460 --> 00:57:30,700
Aye.

1026
00:57:30,700 --> 00:57:32,180
Council Member Waldman.

1027
00:57:32,180 --> 00:57:33,220
Aye.

1028
00:57:33,220 --> 00:57:34,340
Mayor Pro Tem Baker.

1029
00:57:34,340 --> 00:57:35,860
Aye.

1030
00:57:35,860 --> 00:57:37,120
Mayor Nitesh Patel.

1031
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:38,700
Yes.

1032
00:57:38,700 --> 00:57:40,240
That motion carries unanimously.

1033
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:40,740
Great.

1034
00:57:40,740 --> 00:57:41,240
Thank you.

1035
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,160
We're going to go on to
council member AB 1234 reports.

1036
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,440
And I'm going to start with
council member Vikesh Patel.

1037
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,340


1038
00:57:49,340 --> 00:57:51,300
On August 10, I attended
the Kennedy High

1039
00:57:51,300 --> 00:57:53,460
School breakfast for the staff.

1040
00:57:53,460 --> 00:57:57,860
It was a great event put on
by Each One Teach One as well,

1041
00:57:57,860 --> 00:58:01,660
and just welcoming
the teachers and staff

1042
00:58:01,660 --> 00:58:03,620
to the new school year.

1043
00:58:03,620 --> 00:58:07,020
August 20, I attended the Orange
County Mosquito and Vector

1044
00:58:07,020 --> 00:58:10,540
Control District Board
Meeting, August 28,

1045
00:58:10,540 --> 00:58:14,820
attended the EOTO Kicks 4 Kids
shoe drive at Hope School.

1046
00:58:14,820 --> 00:58:18,740
And that was another
great event by EOTO,

1047
00:58:18,740 --> 00:58:24,740
and just giving backpacks,
and shoes to the kids.

1048
00:58:24,740 --> 00:58:30,900
And I'd also like to welcome Sea
to the assistant city manager

1049
00:58:30,900 --> 00:58:36,940
role and Dvaughn Jackson for
coming as a police officer,

1050
00:58:36,940 --> 00:58:39,900
and Johnny Smith
as water service.

1051
00:58:39,900 --> 00:58:44,420
And also, to Alicia for helping
out with the city clerk.

1052
00:58:44,420 --> 00:58:47,680
And also, I'd like
to recognize, again,

1053
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,060
all the high school students
for their championship

1054
00:58:51,060 --> 00:58:54,240
league titles.

1055
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:54,740
Great.

1056
00:58:54,740 --> 00:58:55,700
Thank you.

1057
00:58:55,700 --> 00:58:57,760
Council Member Keo Conklin.

1058
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:01,460


1059
00:59:01,460 --> 00:59:03,760
First of all, I just
wanted to go backward.

1060
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:09,600
Congratulate the John F. Kennedy
School's girls track and field,

1061
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,460
boys track and field, boys
volleyball, girls swimming,

1062
00:59:13,460 --> 00:59:16,260
and boys swimming
team for achieving

1063
00:59:16,260 --> 00:59:17,720
the League Championship.

1064
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,000
So that's phenomenal.

1065
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:20,800
Even though they're
not here on the record,

1066
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,780
congratulations to them.

1067
00:59:23,780 --> 00:59:27,460
So I just wanted to welcome
our new city employees.

1068
00:59:27,460 --> 00:59:32,940
Sea Shelton, our assistant city
manager, and our new police

1069
00:59:32,940 --> 00:59:39,620
officer, and also welcome
Alicia for backfilling our

1070
00:59:39,620 --> 00:59:41,820
assistant city clerk position.

1071
00:59:41,820 --> 00:59:45,420
It's a huge undertaking,
especially knowing our mayor

1072
00:59:45,420 --> 00:59:47,180
loves proclamation
and certificates.

1073
00:59:47,180 --> 00:59:49,980
So-- [LAUGHS]

1074
00:59:49,980 --> 00:59:50,480


1075
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:51,300
So welcome.

1076
00:59:51,300 --> 00:59:56,980
And just wanted to
say, this is great.

1077
00:59:56,980 --> 00:59:59,980
We are excited to have you here.

1078
00:59:59,980 --> 01:00:04,420
Other than that,
have a great evening.

1079
01:00:04,420 --> 01:00:05,860
Council Member Waldman.

1080
01:00:05,860 --> 01:00:07,100
Nothing to report.

1081
01:00:07,100 --> 01:00:09,460
Mayor Pro Tem Debbie Baker.

1082
01:00:09,460 --> 01:00:10,540
Thank you, Mayor.

1083
01:00:10,540 --> 01:00:14,880
On August 6, attended the
Civic Expo National Night Out,

1084
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,780
and Hometown Heroes Concert.

1085
01:00:16,780 --> 01:00:19,460
And thank you again to
Jason and our community

1086
01:00:19,460 --> 01:00:22,020
services team, and
CAB, for putting

1087
01:00:22,020 --> 01:00:26,100
on another great National Night
Out and a season of concerts.

1088
01:00:26,100 --> 01:00:29,900
The 13th, I attended the
Filming for our Business

1089
01:00:29,900 --> 01:00:32,780
spotlight of the
quarter recipient

1090
01:00:32,780 --> 01:00:34,580
with Mayor Nitesh Patel.

1091
01:00:34,580 --> 01:00:36,380
I'm going to just leave it
at that because we're going

1092
01:00:36,380 --> 01:00:37,520
to leave it as a surprise.

1093
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,300
It's going to be next month.

1094
01:00:39,300 --> 01:00:40,820
Won't name them.

1095
01:00:40,820 --> 01:00:44,600
And thank you to our
community development team,

1096
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,100
Stephanie, Marion, and Jess.

1097
01:00:47,100 --> 01:00:49,480
Another fantastic job.

1098
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,900
And I know Jess is going
to be leaving us this week,

1099
01:00:51,900 --> 01:00:53,260
and just want to
get in our record

1100
01:00:53,260 --> 01:00:56,860
that we're going
to be missing Jess.

1101
01:00:56,860 --> 01:00:59,900
And also, I attended
the SCAG Regional

1102
01:00:59,900 --> 01:01:03,220
Housing Needs Assessment,
the RHNA subcommittee.

1103
01:01:03,220 --> 01:01:07,660
So there are 17 of us
across the SCAG region,

1104
01:01:07,660 --> 01:01:14,620
and we've been appointed
with the task of developing

1105
01:01:14,620 --> 01:01:16,780
and adopting a
methodology to allocate

1106
01:01:16,780 --> 01:01:21,580
the regional need among
individual jurisdictions

1107
01:01:21,580 --> 01:01:22,840
in the scag region.

1108
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,860
So it's one first
meeting that we just had,

1109
01:01:25,860 --> 01:01:27,720
and it's a two-year commitment.

1110
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,780
We'll be meeting once a month.

1111
01:01:30,780 --> 01:01:31,760
And let's see.

1112
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,980
Also, I attended the
symphony in the park

1113
01:01:33,980 --> 01:01:37,540
with Pacific Symphony's Quintet.

1114
01:01:37,540 --> 01:01:41,060
It was a really great turnout
and a nice way to end our summer

1115
01:01:41,060 --> 01:01:43,620
music for the season.

1116
01:01:43,620 --> 01:01:46,900
The 17th, I attended the Orange
County Council of Governments

1117
01:01:46,900 --> 01:01:48,780
OCCOG special meeting.

1118
01:01:48,780 --> 01:01:51,900
The 20th, I attended the La
Palma Police Department's annual

1119
01:01:51,900 --> 01:01:53,900
awards luncheon.

1120
01:01:53,900 --> 01:01:54,920
Great event.

1121
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,180
It's always exciting to
hear all the accomplishments

1122
01:01:58,180 --> 01:02:03,380
of our officers, and what
they're doing for our city.

1123
01:02:03,380 --> 01:02:06,780
The situations that they're
in, we just aren't even

1124
01:02:06,780 --> 01:02:08,200
aware of what they go through.

1125
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,280
And they just do
such a fantastic job.

1126
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,580
And we just thank
you all for that.

1127
01:02:13,580 --> 01:02:16,780
The 26th, I attended Orange
County Sanitation District,

1128
01:02:16,780 --> 01:02:18,580
OC San's, board meeting.

1129
01:02:18,580 --> 01:02:21,780
The 27th, I attended the
League of California Cities

1130
01:02:21,780 --> 01:02:23,560
Orange County Division meeting.

1131
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:28,500
And we had guest speakers,
Congressman Derek Tran and CEO

1132
01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:31,100
of OCTA, Darrell Johnson.

1133
01:02:31,100 --> 01:02:33,700
Congratulations to all
of our Kennedy athletes

1134
01:02:33,700 --> 01:02:35,280
on all of your accomplishments.

1135
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,620
And have to say,
I'm so proud to be

1136
01:02:37,620 --> 01:02:41,460
an alumni of Night of Kennedy
and just all the accomplishments

1137
01:02:41,460 --> 01:02:42,240
that they have.

1138
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,220
Every quarter, there are
so many of our sports

1139
01:02:45,220 --> 01:02:49,040
that place, and come, and
we get to recognize them.

1140
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,580
And it's just
awesome to see that.

1141
01:02:51,580 --> 01:02:55,020
And welcome to our new
staff members, Sea Shelton,

1142
01:02:55,020 --> 01:02:58,960
our assistant city
manager, Dvaughn Jackson,

1143
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,640
our new police officer,
and Johnny Smith,

1144
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,300
our water service worker.

1145
01:03:03,300 --> 01:03:05,900
And thank you, Alicia,
for stepping up

1146
01:03:05,900 --> 01:03:08,860
and helping us to
fill the city clerk

1147
01:03:08,860 --> 01:03:11,340
position, even temporarily.

1148
01:03:11,340 --> 01:03:13,860
So thank you.

1149
01:03:13,860 --> 01:03:15,220
Thank you.

1150
01:03:15,220 --> 01:03:15,900
OK.

1151
01:03:15,900 --> 01:03:20,580
On August 6, I attended a
concert in the Civic Expo Night.

1152
01:03:20,580 --> 01:03:24,880
Great job to CAB, great
job to Jason and his team,

1153
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,100
the volunteens.

1154
01:03:26,100 --> 01:03:28,780
And one of the things that,
since we have some CAB members

1155
01:03:28,780 --> 01:03:33,940
here, the compliments that
you receive from the community

1156
01:03:33,940 --> 01:03:39,540
and outside our city is you guys
did a stellar job on the lineup,

1157
01:03:39,540 --> 01:03:41,540
picking the concerts.

1158
01:03:41,540 --> 01:03:44,580
Everybody that was coming
from outside the city,

1159
01:03:44,580 --> 01:03:47,060
and residents wise,
while talking to them,

1160
01:03:47,060 --> 01:03:50,580
they could not stop
saying good things

1161
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:54,820
about what kind of people,
or groups that you had there.

1162
01:03:54,820 --> 01:03:57,380
So I know serving on
CAB for eight years

1163
01:03:57,380 --> 01:04:00,780
that picking concerts is an art.

1164
01:04:00,780 --> 01:04:03,560
And you guys nailed it.

1165
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:04,840
So great job.

1166
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:06,700
Great job to you.

1167
01:04:06,700 --> 01:04:10,980
On August 10, each
year, I host a breakfast

1168
01:04:10,980 --> 01:04:14,820
for all the Kennedy
teachers, and staff,

1169
01:04:14,820 --> 01:04:17,180
and everyone returning
back to school.

1170
01:04:17,180 --> 01:04:20,480
And along with my daughter,
we've been doing this for five,

1171
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,300
six years now almost.

1172
01:04:22,300 --> 01:04:25,380
And it's special
because it's our way

1173
01:04:25,380 --> 01:04:28,820
to welcome the teachers that are
teaching our future generations.

1174
01:04:28,820 --> 01:04:31,400
And to recognize them at
the beginning of the year,

1175
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,260
and then we do something
at the end of the year,

1176
01:04:33,260 --> 01:04:35,160
we always do a taco
truck then, too.

1177
01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:36,360
So it's fun.

1178
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,810
I'd like to thank the city
manager for coming out too,

1179
01:04:39,810 --> 01:04:41,870
and Council Member Vikesh Patel.

1180
01:04:41,870 --> 01:04:43,890
Debbie got sick so
she couldn't make it.

1181
01:04:43,890 --> 01:04:48,470
But it's fun to do that and
give back to the community.

1182
01:04:48,470 --> 01:04:52,310
On August 13, did the
business spotlight recording.

1183
01:04:52,310 --> 01:04:56,350
Thank God Mayor Pro Tem told
me not to mention the name,

1184
01:04:56,350 --> 01:04:57,550
so I crossed that off.

1185
01:04:57,550 --> 01:05:00,970
But we'll be recognizing them.

1186
01:05:00,970 --> 01:05:05,170
We started that initiative
when we came on and formed

1187
01:05:05,170 --> 01:05:06,730
this committee
that we just voted

1188
01:05:06,730 --> 01:05:11,670
on to do an every-quarter
Business Spotlight Award.

1189
01:05:11,670 --> 01:05:14,130
And it's a good way for
us to be able to interact

1190
01:05:14,130 --> 01:05:17,590
with our businesses, and to get
them involved in our community,

1191
01:05:17,590 --> 01:05:18,730
too.

1192
01:05:18,730 --> 01:05:21,570
On August 13, I
attended an ad hoc

1193
01:05:21,570 --> 01:05:24,650
meeting for an audit for the
Orange County Fire Authority.

1194
01:05:24,650 --> 01:05:30,450
On August 20, I attended a full
day of OCFA chief interviews

1195
01:05:30,450 --> 01:05:32,290
for our next chief.

1196
01:05:32,290 --> 01:05:37,090
On August 20 also, I came
back and came to the police

1197
01:05:37,090 --> 01:05:38,930
appreciation luncheon that--

1198
01:05:38,930 --> 01:05:41,330
and a big thank you
to all our officers

1199
01:05:41,330 --> 01:05:43,490
and everyone
involved, our staff.

1200
01:05:43,490 --> 01:05:46,330
This is truly what
the beauty of our city

1201
01:05:46,330 --> 01:05:49,410
is, is recognizing
all our leaders

1202
01:05:49,410 --> 01:05:53,150
when we do it for our police and
also our professional staff too.

1203
01:05:53,150 --> 01:05:55,430
So thank you to all
the police officers.

1204
01:05:55,430 --> 01:05:56,030
Thank you, Chief.

1205
01:05:56,030 --> 01:05:58,730
Thank you, Captain.

1206
01:05:58,730 --> 01:06:02,130
And then a big thank you to
La Palma Community Foundation

1207
01:06:02,130 --> 01:06:03,630
for helping to fund this.

1208
01:06:03,630 --> 01:06:04,770
Correct?

1209
01:06:04,770 --> 01:06:07,563
Again, La Palma
Community Foundation.

1210
01:06:07,563 --> 01:06:08,430
That's what they're doing.

1211
01:06:08,430 --> 01:06:09,897
And that's what the
work that they're doing.

1212
01:06:09,897 --> 01:06:13,930
So thank you to them for
helping us to host this.

1213
01:06:13,930 --> 01:06:17,010
August 21, another full
day of Orange County Fire

1214
01:06:17,010 --> 01:06:19,530
Authority chief interviews.

1215
01:06:19,530 --> 01:06:25,570
On August 27, I had a meeting
with [? OCFAMA ?] group

1216
01:06:25,570 --> 01:06:28,450
from the Orange
County Fire Authority.

1217
01:06:28,450 --> 01:06:33,490
August 28, another thing that
we've been doing for now six

1218
01:06:33,490 --> 01:06:37,950
years at Hope, and 20 years
that we've been doing this,

1219
01:06:37,950 --> 01:06:41,770
we provided 325 pairs
of brand new shoes

1220
01:06:41,770 --> 01:06:46,290
for Hope School for
autistic students.

1221
01:06:46,290 --> 01:06:48,610
And we've been doing
this for six years now.

1222
01:06:48,610 --> 01:06:53,810
And I can't thank enough the
Local 3631 for coming out

1223
01:06:53,810 --> 01:06:56,090
and making hot dogs for them.

1224
01:06:56,090 --> 01:06:59,930
We provided backpacks
and full of supplies.

1225
01:06:59,930 --> 01:07:03,330
31 pieces of supplies for them.

1226
01:07:03,330 --> 01:07:06,210
And when you go
through this event,

1227
01:07:06,210 --> 01:07:09,050
you realize that the
shoes that they're wearing

1228
01:07:09,050 --> 01:07:11,730
were the shoes that
we gave last year.

1229
01:07:11,730 --> 01:07:14,450
And their parents always
reach back out to us

1230
01:07:14,450 --> 01:07:17,770
to tell us that we know that
you're going to give us shoes

1231
01:07:17,770 --> 01:07:20,570
so we can take that
portion of that money

1232
01:07:20,570 --> 01:07:23,570
and use it for other
things for these students.

1233
01:07:23,570 --> 01:07:25,070
So this is six years.

1234
01:07:25,070 --> 01:07:29,770
It was an event that my
daughter created, Kicks 4 Kids.

1235
01:07:29,770 --> 01:07:35,030
And they have clubs on campus
at Oxford and at Kennedy.

1236
01:07:35,030 --> 01:07:39,390
And both clubs came out with
about 15 volunteers from there.

1237
01:07:39,390 --> 01:07:41,130
And then we had
community volunteers.

1238
01:07:41,130 --> 01:07:42,590
And again, we had
the firefighters.

1239
01:07:42,590 --> 01:07:44,970
I think the biggest thing
that these kids want to see

1240
01:07:44,970 --> 01:07:46,550
is not us or the shoes.

1241
01:07:46,550 --> 01:07:47,930
It's the firefighters.

1242
01:07:47,930 --> 01:07:50,510
They get so excited
for the firefighters.

1243
01:07:50,510 --> 01:07:54,090
And thank you very much for
coming out and supporting.

1244
01:07:54,090 --> 01:07:56,290
And that's what our
community is about.

1245
01:07:56,290 --> 01:08:00,010
It's all of us coming
together to be able to serve.

1246
01:08:00,010 --> 01:08:02,170
A big shout out to
the Kennedy students.

1247
01:08:02,170 --> 01:08:09,650
And our new staff, Sea Shelton,
assistant city manager,

1248
01:08:09,650 --> 01:08:11,330
welcome back.

1249
01:08:11,330 --> 01:08:13,330
Glad to have you back.

1250
01:08:13,330 --> 01:08:19,290
Dvaughn Jackson, great to have
him aboard and under your first

1251
01:08:19,290 --> 01:08:19,790
hire.

1252
01:08:19,790 --> 01:08:21,210
So excited.

1253
01:08:21,210 --> 01:08:23,450
It's good to see that
our force is filling up.

1254
01:08:23,450 --> 01:08:26,069
And we're excited to have him.

1255
01:08:26,069 --> 01:08:29,189
Johnny Smith, water
service worker number one--

1256
01:08:29,189 --> 01:08:30,970
I mean, class one.

1257
01:08:30,970 --> 01:08:34,450
Excited to have another
member under your team, Jake.

1258
01:08:34,450 --> 01:08:38,450
And then, Alicia,
you're a superstar.

1259
01:08:38,450 --> 01:08:40,069
You're able to fill
multiple roles,

1260
01:08:40,069 --> 01:08:41,649
and we're blessed to have you.

1261
01:08:41,649 --> 01:08:45,569
And thank you very much
for all that you do.

1262
01:08:45,569 --> 01:08:46,149
That's it.

1263
01:08:46,149 --> 01:08:50,930
I'm going to pass
it to our council.

1264
01:08:50,930 --> 01:08:52,109
Do you have anything
to report out?

1265
01:08:52,109 --> 01:08:54,210
And then I'll go
to city manager.

1266
01:08:54,210 --> 01:08:56,370
I changed the order.

1267
01:08:56,370 --> 01:08:57,310
You did change the order.

1268
01:08:57,310 --> 01:08:58,390
No, but I have no remarks.

1269
01:08:58,390 --> 01:08:59,330
Thank you.

1270
01:08:59,330 --> 01:09:00,490
City manager?

1271
01:09:00,490 --> 01:09:01,130
Thank you, Mayor.

1272
01:09:01,130 --> 01:09:04,050
Just a quick reminder that
City Hall and city facilities

1273
01:09:04,050 --> 01:09:06,630
will be closed on
Monday, September 7,

1274
01:09:06,630 --> 01:09:09,210
in observance of Labor Day.

1275
01:09:09,210 --> 01:09:11,770
The police and fire departments,
along with the public works

1276
01:09:11,770 --> 01:09:13,890
department, will
remain available

1277
01:09:13,890 --> 01:09:16,710
24/7 to respond to emergencies.

1278
01:09:16,710 --> 01:09:17,990
That concludes my remarks.

1279
01:09:17,990 --> 01:09:18,890
Thank you.

1280
01:09:18,890 --> 01:09:19,790
Thank you.

1281
01:09:19,790 --> 01:09:23,680
And at 7:28, we're going
to adjourn the meeting.

1282
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:31,000
