Thank you very much. I'd like to start off with a land acknowledgement. The city of Daily City acknowledges that we are on the ancestral lands of the Ramatouch Aloney peoples. We recognize their enduring connection to this region and honor their history, culture, and contributions. As the indigenous protectors of this land, we affirm their sovereign rights as the original inhabitants of this land and pay respects to the ancestors, the elders, and relatives of the Ramatouch Aloney peoples. Uh, madame city clerk, may I have a roll call, please?

Miss D. Giviani, present. Dr. Rod, present. Miss Piranho present. Manalo present. Mr. Sylvester. Glenn Sylvester present. Thank you very much. Uh the next order of business is presentations and we have two of them this evening. Uh the first is a proclamation regarding human trafficking ongoing awareness and prevention month. Sorry. And I'll read the uh the first one. Sorry.

Whereas human trafficking is a serious and human rights violation affecting people of all backgrounds and worldwide and January is recognized in the United States as National Human Trafficking Prevention Month to raise awareness and prevent exploitation. Whereas although this observance has passed in 2016, the need for awareness, v vigilance and action does not expire with the calendar and is never too late to educate our communities and reaffirm our commitment to prevention. And whereas human trafficking is not confined to distant places, but exists within our own region, including the Bay Area, where diverse populations, major transportation corridors, and largecale events can increase vulnerability and risk. Whereas global events such as the FIFA World Cup 2026 brings visitors and economic opportunity, but also underscores the importance of proactive awareness and prevention efforts to safeguard vulnerable individuals. And whereas venues such as Levi Stadiums may host international events, presenting an opportunity for public agencies, businesses, and residents to work together to recognize the signs of trafficking and respond appropriately. And whereas the city is committed to raising awareness through proactive outreach to local businesses.

encouraging their participation in recognizing and reporting potential trafficking activity. And whereas the city has implemented a public awareness campaign that includes the display offormational posters at city facilities, the sharing of educational content through official and social media channels, and the creation of a dedicated city website page providing accessible resources and guidance to the community. Whereas raising awareness empowers community members to identify potential trafficking situations, support survivors, and connect individuals to critical resources such as the National Human Trafficking Hotline. And whereas the education, collaboration, and sustained public engagement are essential to preventing exploitation and providing the dignity and freedom of all people. Now, therefore, I, Glenn R. Sylvester as the mayor and members of the city council do hereby proclaim April 26 as human trafficking ongoing awareness and prevention month in Daily City and encourage all residents, businesses and community partners to remain informed, vigilant and engaged in preventing prevent prevention efforts. recognize that awareness is a yearround responsibility and call upon the community to learn the signs of human trafficking and support efforts to end it. So with that being said, I'd like to call up Miss Tally Maxman of the St.

Ignatius College Prep course. Good evening, Tally. Make sure your mic is on. Is it green? Okay. Um, good evening. My name is Ty Maxman. Um, I'm a junior at St. Ignatius College Prep in the Sunset, uh, and a Daily City resident. Last summer, I interned at the San Francisco Collaborative Against Human Trafficking with Antonia Levine, the executive director. Um, and this experience opened my eyes to the issues of human trafficking. I appreciate this recognition and I want to recognize Antonia for her efforts in uh on the issue of human trafficking in the Bay Area. She could not be here today to accept this proclamation, so I'm reading a small speech on her behalf. Um, dear council members, I'm writing on behalf of the San Francisco Collaborative Against Human Trafficking um to congratulate you for taking the step to declare April as the as human trafficking ongoing awareness and prevention month in your city. We take great pride in the courageous and meaningful initiative of our activist and SFAT student alliance member Tally Maxman to spearhead this thoughtful movement by the daily city council. A passionate youth leader in our movement, Tally has helped to organize and present our annual awareness and prevention campaign consisting of multiple education events, trainings, and direct outreach actions. This initiative to foster a month-long annually carried out awareness uh and prevention effort in Daily City is a culmin culmination of Tally's inspiring work to bring focus to the suffering of those trapped in modern-day slavery and rally the local communities in their support. Specialized data analysis from all sources indicates that the Bay Area is a national hub for human trafficking. While this explosion of human trafficking in our backyard is un uh disputable, the victims remain largely hidden from plain view and are afraid to report the crimes committed against them. Only with the combined forces of

the community and government stakeholders can we confront the raising uh scourge of these heinous crimes and protect and restore the victims. We thank you for your bold move to declare an ongoing commitment to fighting human trafficking through outreach, education, prevention, and support of survivors. We look forward to partnering with Daily Cities Council, law enforcement, and community forces in these critical efforts. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Maximum. Uh would you kindly what I'm going to do now is open it up to my colleagues for any comments. Okay. Anyone? Uh, Vice Mayor Perano,

first of all, I'd like to thank you for your pro proactiveness for you as a youth at this age uh to find something like this to to actually be a part of and to support. I really appreciate that and I I know your mom must be quite uh proud of you. So, thank you very much. Um, and I just wanted to say that the more we can let the community know that this is something that is happening more and more and what really does happen, I think people have an idea, but they have no idea how how uh this happens so much. And I'm sure that's something you learned when you uh took the time to work with uh with them. So, thank you very much for coming and uh thank you for everything you're doing.

Thank you, Vice Mayor, Dr. Rod.

Yes. Um, thank you for coming and speaks volumes for young people to talk about this issue. And I think the more and more people that are able to talk about it, then we can actually bring it out into the forefront and problematize this issue if it hasn't done before. And you know by promoting this type of um education and dialogue it provides people to look at this and say this is an issue and that it's important to talk about. And so um I'm just glad that mayor and my colleagues in the dis are supportive of of behind this proclamation and to really um put it out there to discuss and so that people can understand what are the issues, what are the signs and especially in terms of you know the FIFA World Cup coming and whenever there's big spectacles like that there tends to be an uptick of human trafficking. Thank you, Dr. Rod. Anyone else?

Uh, Council Member Manalo, please.

Thank you, Mayor. Um, I thank you, uh, Tali, for your work on this. It's really wonderful to see young people like yourself, um, really try to educate others. You know, when you think about human trafficking, um, sometimes it's like, oh, it feels like it's foreign or global, but really it happens in our local areas. Um and having um this type of education is huge, right? Um even, you know, having these flyers in maybe our local malls or whatnot and that uh folks that might be, you know, afraid, you know, uh can see the resources. And so it's really through advocacy on a local level. And so um congratulations. Thank you for bringing this to light and sharing it with your peers as well as the community. Thank you, Jesseline. Uh, council member DJ Roani.

Well, first of all, you being an intern with Antonia and and SFCAT, so people know that that was the original that started the awareness for the anti-human trafficking and along with the National Council of Jewish Women that I was proud to be a part of. And I actually was very active at that one time. And so I know that you at that age, which I really appreciate you being awareness, but it's also something culturally that we are told to fight for others in slavery, modern-day slavery, um, in in your culture, and that that's embedded also with your your mom and family, and that Antonio has been a fighter, and you're under the best wings possible, and I know that her son and and daughter still are part of it, and everyone house and that you will cultivate and be the next generation which not even the next the now generation that will keep continue this because everybody needs to be on board and that you know we brought the awareness here and that people think it's it could be anywhere and I like to commend because they work with our daily city police officers and there are agents that have actually won awards that are from our daily city area and our site tail county that um were recognized by SF Cat and I had the honor to be there for. So I give my best Antonia and I am so impressed and heartfilled that and doesn't surprise me the apple doesn't fall from far from the tree is I know it's an old saying but it is so true and that to really caring and to be involved in that because now more than ever I don't it it hasn't gone away. So, keep up the fight, keep going, and you're in great hands, and thank you for taking the initiative. Blessings. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, Council Member Diovani. Um, I'd like to start off with a few things. Um, Tally, I know you wrote to me um quite a few weeks ago and I don't think I ever responded, but I did get it off to our city manager and staff. And, uh, also I'd like to acknowledge your mom, um, Mrs. Maxman who is uh a member of our women's commission the newly established commission uh under uh Jesselyn Manalo who serves as a commissioner for Daily City and it's been as it says the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. In listening to my colleague speak I see a general consensus here and that is your awareness and thoughtfulness at such a young age. I'm going to admit to you when I was your age, I didn't have a clue. And you know, another testament to our um uh youth today. So, it's very important to me. But what folks don't realize that in the letter um Tally did not just write me, but she also offered suggestions.

And basically what I've read in the proclamation didn't include that personal touch. Tally recommended uh reaching out to schools, sending them posters. She also recommended uh transportation, putting them on buses. And I'm going to read you a few quotes that the city of Daily City under the leadership of our city manager who received this information and staff worked dig digit dig diligently to put this together. As we said earlier, January marks National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, but in the proclamation, we indic we indicated that should be a yearround focus. So subsequently uh we are going to distribute post posters provided by the county via direct mailer to 111 covered businesses here in daily city as per the state civil code section 52.6 for for posting. We will also distribute posters by the county to all recreation facilities. another one of your recommendations. Tally and library branches for posting. You received you will receive the proclamation proclaiming April 2026 as ongoing awareness and prevention month. And we will also share posters and I didn't I didn't read that here in the proclamation but this was your idea with also the school districts. So, uh, I do have a sample poster that has been created and this is going to be distributed and Tally and with you and Miss Antonia, this would not have been

done had you not approached this council and subsequently the staff and Miss Maxman. I can see the tears in your eyes and I I I definitely understand that. This is welld deserved and uh tally I'm very very appreciative and we as council are appreciative as well. So with that being said I would like to present you this proclamation along with the rest of city council will come to you. Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU.

Thank you. Why don't you come up here? Give you the spotlight. Ready? On three. One, two, three. Sorry, hold on. I'm having an old lady.

Thank you everyone.

Congratulations. Come on. All right, that was Good. Uh, leaves you with a good feeling. Definitely a great feeling. All right. The next proclamation we have is a proclamation for fair housing month. Um, Miss Laura Diaz of Project Sentinel. Is she here? Hi, Miss Diaz.

Hi.

Vice Mayor, would you do the honors, please? First of all, Laura, thank you so much for being here and for everything you do. I am honored to read uh the proclamation this evening for fair housing month 2026. Let's make sure I don't forget a word. Here we go. Whereas adequate housing is a basic need and right of all people. And whereas this year we celebrate the 58th anniversary of the enactment of the Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968, which states that discrimination in the sale and rental of housing is illegal when based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. And whereas the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 extends Fair Housing Rights on the basis of uh familial status to families with children and on the basis of disability to persons with disabilities. And whereas California statutes additionally protect citizens on the basis of age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and source of income. And California celebrates the 66th anniversary of the Fair Employment and Housing Act, FEA. And whereas the city of Daily City supports fair housing efforts to eliminate discrimination in housing and

recognizes the benefits of Project Sentinel in educating home seekers, apartment managers, and property owners on federal and state housing laws, as well as investigating complaints of illegal housing discrimination in Daily City. And whereas in order to heighten public awareness, the city of Daily City wishes to focus public public attention on the month of April as fair housing month. Now therefore, here you go, mayor. Oh, you're fine. You're doing just good.

Now therefore, our mayor, Glenn R. Sylvester and the members of the city council of the city of Daily City do hereby proclaim the month of April 2026 as fair housing month in Daily City and encourage all residents and community organizations to celebrate the value of harmonous and diverse communities of neighbors and to support the goal of equal housing opportunity for all people. There we go. Great. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

Um, thank you, uh, Vice Mayor. I'll open before you speak, Miss Diaz, I'm going to have, uh, each one of our council members, uh, provide any comments, if any. Who's first? Oh, you I can make mine real quick. Okay.

First of all, thank you for what you're doing. I think the people now in in 2026 may not realize the importance of what we're used to being having neighbors of all race and gender and uh but not too long ago uh I believe was it Willie Mace was unable to buy a home in Westlake because he was black. Mhm.

So that tells me or shows me and shows all of us that, you know, through the years, these acts, these laws really do make a difference. And I appreciate what you do to continue to make sure that no matter who you are, what you believe, that you're able to live in the city, a daily city. So, thank you. You're welcome. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Anyone else? Uh Justin Manalo, please.

Thank you, Mayor. Um, first and foremost, thank you to Project Sentinel for your continued work and advocacy day in and day out, whether it is around your case management, um, your advocacy as mentioned by Vice Mayor. You know, there was a time when um there were covenants uh that stated literally in deeds of trust that, you know, um, people of color could not purchase homes in in Daily City. um and they were dolier homes. Um but uh over time we see today um that the cultural diversity has been enrichened and that no longer those type of covenants um are allowed. Um, and but you know, I think uh in these moments we are reminded of what we have now to cherish and to continue to ensure that folks that um want to purchase a home, want to live in um housing um be treated fair, equally, and have the opportunity to u live and thrive without uh those uh barriers. And so, uh, thank you for the continued work. I know that, um, you know, over the years through the city council, uh, we've been able to support your work through our CDBG funds. Um, and I know that it continues to be something that we value as a council um, in in the work that you do. So, thank you for that.

Okay, Dr. Rod. Thank you, Council Member Manalo. Council Member Djiovani. Oh, I was going with Dr. Rod. Oh, Dr. ride. I know he's going to have a few words, so please go ahead. Uh, council member DJ.

Okay. Thank you. Well, we all know that project sentinel has been just a lifeline for people and then but I know that it's not enough especially going through this as the council member Manalo said the CDBG funds and things that that are happening. So hopefully we can put the get things together so that that will not be a sinking thing because we need to not only do we need to support at the level but increase the support and I think that's really up to all of us as uh humanity to remember people are not looking for just a handout. If they don't have housing then then where do we start? So it's always systemic. That's the way I view it. and that if it systemic to keep people at a poverty level or whether it's to keep them out of housing or whatever the case may be. And then I know that recently when we had um people come on the anti-harassment. So there's different things that are happening when it comes to housing. for sure.

It's not just one thing that happens that I know Project Sentinel deals with in a sensitive manner and that um culturally that it's very sensitive and that people don't want to speak up and fortunate there are like you nonprofits that give them a voice and that you're able to let people know that these are real things that are happening to people. It's not some abstract that is happening. Even though we we were sitting here today, it's happening

and we we cannot wait as a a city council and we have the ability to help people and that's our job to do that on a humanity level and an ability level and I think that our council will support and hopefully soon to strengthen what we what we have to protect people on all levels. So I really appreciate it. Thank you very much for being here and uh my best to all of you. I know tough times, but we'll weather the storm. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Um, Council Member Diovani, Dr. Rod.

Yes. Uh, thank you for coming in and the work that you all do for our community. Um, it's the elephant in the room, right? Like, um, affordable housing, housing for everyone. Um, just to expand from my colleagues and, you know, talking about um, we do have a resolution to protect like anti-harassment um, cases. Hopefully we could expand the conversation um further and you know hopefully my hope is to have it um into an ordinance. And so like with that spirit, you know, I would, you know, broaden the perspectives of this um affordable housing u proclamation um and you know, being able to uh protect our renters um that are very vulnerable, especially the ones that are most vulnerable and most um

yeah, in need. Yeah. Kind of the most oppressed in our communities. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, Dr. Rod. Miss Diaz, thank you so much for being here. Excuse me. Um, after reading the information, uh, especially what happened here in Daily City and in Westlake as the vice mayor had, uh, pointed out and I believe we had a few council members, uh, who at that time had difficulty buying a home in Westlake and, uh, they didn't give up. So this civil rights act that was passed which saying it's illegal on the basis of race, color, rel religion, sex or natural origin was a very very important act that has passed but not all people know of that. So having a situation like today to provide a fair housing proclamation gives awareness to the folks that more folks should be aware and that is basically illegal. So we thank you for the work that you've been doing, the work you continue to do and uh uh I wish you the best and uh it's a continued awareness for me as well. So, thank you so much for being here. So, I guess we've said enough, Miss Diaz. I'm gonna give you the floor now.

Okay. Yes, I do have a few words. Um, okay. So, thank you to the day to the city of Daily City and the mayor for your continued partnership and support of Project Sentinel and fair housing in the community. Um, so like we just mentioned, um, fair housing is deeply rooted in the civil rights movement and the protections like you've mentioned, um, rely on that history. the protections today rely on that history. Um and so while we've made progress um housing discrimination is not a thing of the past, it's still very real and present um in not just daily city but just communities just across the board um throughout the bay and outside the bay because we also serve those communities. So um it continues to imp so fair housing does continue to impact residents especially during a time when housing challenges are so prominent and so top of mind for so many people. Um so now more than ever um support for housing is essential um to create real solutions um that promote um access, stability, opportunity, affordability, like all of those things. Um, so at Project Sentinel, we're committed to this work every day, addressing housing discrimination one day or one case and one day at a time. Um, so to learn more about our services, community members can visit our website. It's really easyousing.org. Thank you.

Thank you, Miss uh Diaz. Uh, I would like to present the proclamation to you. Okay. And we'll do the same. Everyone picture time. This time you stand on the inside.

Uh if um there shall be no separate discussion of matters on the consent agenda unless requested by a member of the city council. So council member DJiovani.

Yes. I'd like to pull item number seven and number nine. Number seven and number nine, please. Okay. Are there any other items to be pulled from the consent agenda? Um yes. Item number Oh, where is it? It's on

Oh, item number six. Number six. Uh, Council Member Manalo. Yes. Thank you. Okay. So, I'll entertain a motion to uh approve the consent agenda with the exceptions of numbers six um six, seven, and nine. Is there anyone to make a motion? Uh with the exception of items 6, seven, and nine, um approving the consent agenda. Okay. Motion by Manalo. You have a second. Second. Second by Dr. Rod. Any further discussion? All those in favor say I. I I

Okay. Uh we'll start with item number six. Consent agenda has been approved and we're going to um speak on item number six. And uh Mr. Chu.

Yes. Thank you. Uh Mr. Mayor, members of the city council, good evening. Uh item number six is the appropriation of grant funds for the city county association of governments Sanonteo County and also authorizing the city manager to execute amendment number one to the funding agreement for fiber splicing fiber cable termination for the smart corridor project. Uh CKG is uh sponsoring the Samontel County smart uh corridor project. This is a intelligent transportation system project. Uh it extends uh along El Camino Rial and um major streets in Sontel County connecting 101 and uh I280. Uh the current phase of the smart corridor project extends into daily city, Brisbane, and KMA. Uh the project will allow agencies to deploy incident response plans to manage uh traffic congestion on uh Juniper Sera Boulevard and Bashar Boulevard. Uh these are the two primary parallel corridors for I280 and uh US 101. Uh in October of 2023, the city council authorized the city manager to execute the funding agreement with CKG to reimburse Daily City for up to uh $672,500 uh for costs that the city will incur as it relates to fiber installations uh for this project. Um right now the majority of the IT elements have been installed already in the field. Um CKG did select a consultant to integrate the new uh IT technology with the existing smart corridor system. Uh the system integration work is expected to be completed uh by the end of this year. Uh and amendment number one um will extend the funding agreement uh to June 30th, 2027. Uh the current expiration is June 30th, 2026. Uh so

it's a one-year extension. The estimated cost is um the total of $672,500. Uh the city will be re reimbursed by CKG uh up to that amount uh for this project and no additional city funds are needed for the project. Uh so in summary um staff is recommending that the city council uh appropriate the 672,500 in in funds from Sik to the northern city smart corridor expansion project and then also authorize the city manager to execute amendment number one uh to the funding agreement for CKG um basically for the fiber work uh for the smart corridor project. Uh that concludes my presentation. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Thank you Mr. Chu, I'll uh give the floor to Council Member Manalo who uh pulled this item.

Thank you uh Mayor and thank you Director Chu on this presentation. Um I brought this up because uh it's so important when we look at the congestion and the traffic that we've seen on 101 280 and this is just a concerted effort on a regional basis. Um and so seeing this come to us and us as a city of daily city take the initiative to work on this project um we can't fix something that is only parsed out with our city. We need to look at it as a concerted effort. Um and we see that this doesn't only extend to us as daily city but it moves to Kulma Brisbane um in that realm. And um some of you maybe are watching, you've seen sometimes how there's bottleneck that happens on 280 and 101. We're looking at uh an opportunity to just have less congestion on those roads. Um and that I just want to say thank you um to the city for seeing how important it is to start and move on this project knowing that CCAG and um we'll be able to reimburse. Um there's many other projects along the way when we talk about bicycle pedestrian safety, but this is one of the larger projects that have been envisioned for a while and is now going moving into multiple phases. And so thank you to our staff here working with CCAG to the city manager and everyone around this concerted effort. We can't do it if we're just in silos and for us working together as a region. Um and those watching um CACAG stands for the City County Association of Governments. Um really a place where everyone um can work on issues around the county um with all the 20 cities and the county together. And so thank you.

Thank you. Um Council Member Manalo, any other comments? I'll make one. Um, Council Member Manalo, um, when you wanted to pull item number six and as I was reading it and I says fiber optics, why would she be pulling this item? Well, uh you definitely explained why uh you pulled the uh the item and I concur with every the comments that you made, but I just wanted to give uh another uh thought for folks to realize uh there's something called I I think more of a technical sense. There's something called dark fiber.

Dark fiber is basically cable that's underground that is unutilized. And how do you utilize it? You've got to draw cable lines throughout. And fiber optic operates on light impulses that travels at 186,000 mph. Compare that to the speed of Wi-Fi. No match. So uh definitely and especially the collaboration as you made mentioned uh council member Manalo with uh CCAG and uh the various cities that's going to be involved. That's not cheap and yet the results is going to be tremendous. So uh thank you for uh Council Member Malo for giving me that chance to uh show my prowess on uh fiber optics. Should we call you high-tech mayor?

So great. All right. Are there any other comments from my colleagues? Hearing and seeing none, uh, Council Member Manalo, did you want to um make a motion to approve item number six? Happy to do so, mayor. Uh, motion to approve item number six. Second. Second. Okay. Uh, I heard two voices and, uh, this time I'm going to give it to council member uh, Diovani. Okay. At the same time. So, we have a first and second. Any further discussion? All those in favor of approving item number six say I. I. I. Any oppose? Any abstensions? Thank you very much. Item number six has been approved. Okay. Moving on to item number seven. And uh

Mr. Ch parking sign. Oh, Mr. Chu. Okay. Who pulled item number seven? Was it council member uh DJani? Okay. Mr. Chu, please.

Yes. Uh thank you. Um so yeah, item number seven is mine again. This is the amend traffic regulations uh to one install uh stop signs on Washington Street at Edgeworth Avenue and two to install no parking zones on Lake Shire Drive under the Highway 1 overpass. Uh so on March 16, 2026, the city's uh traffic safety committee met and reviewed various requests for traffic improvement, signage, and pavement markings and recommended that the city manager proceed with uh amending the aformentioned traffic regulations. Um for uh number one, for the stop sign, staff uh received a request to install stop signs on Washington Street at Edgeworth Avenue. Uh staff recommends installing the stop signs at the intersection uh to provide the adequate sight distance for drivers on Edgeworth Avenue. Uh and then for the second item, uh city received uh complaints regarding illegal dumping uh under Highway 1 overpass. Uh this is one of the hotspot locations. Uh staff is recommending uh implementation of a pilot program uh to prohibit parking on both sides of Lakeshore Drive under Highway One overpass and evaluate its impacts on illegal dumping. Um the funding is available uh for both uh of these items uh in the streets operating budget uh for the current fiscal year u 20 fiscal year 2025 and 26. So in summary, staff is recommending that the city council uh amend the aformentioned traffic regulations and uh I'm available for any questions. Thank you.

Thank you Mr. Chu. I'll start off with council member DJani since she pulled this item.

Thank you for Mr. Chu. One of the reasons I pulled it is I wanted to make the public aware this is just one of many things that that on the traffic committee that that you're on that you always are doing things to improve public safety. So I want to commend you and everyone on the traffic committee which is our PD and others um to to analyze and I know we have state regulations that prohibit or not prohibit. You have to know all that knowledge. So, I want people to know that engineers and and that and even public works is involved in a lot of this and it's really a thorough um I known that I know other cities that have a different process, but I'm really proud that we have a traffic committee where all the partners come together and address issues like this and to make things safer because it's ongoing because it seems like that the car issues I know are really ongoing. So, I I want to let people know and thank you for that location. So, so, so that people in the city will know no matter where you are in the city, they're looking into it and if you contact them or you have an issue to contact our city manager and then um he'll convey it to our public works or whomever and that he'll be happy to do that if you really are concerned about any issue in your neighborhood or anything that you think and if there's a possibility they can done, it'll get done. So they've already proven it in the past by that stop sign, but another another highlight here. So thank you for everything. I know it's a lot of analyzing. So thank you.

Thank you. Uh council member uh DJ Giovani, vice mayor, please. Mayor, thank you very much. Yeah,

as uh the mayor and I sit on the illegal dumping uh uh group, I wanted to thank you because that was something we we talked about during the meeting and understanding that um so many people uh are dumping on our streets and uh to see that there's a uh a proactive move on hopefully hoping that having no parking side might stop people from dumping there. And so I know that the residents and the people that live and go on or drive on that street and live in that area are going to be most appreciative. So thank you. Let's hope for the best, right?

Thank you so much. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Um I'd like to concur with what Vice Mayor uh was speaking about and that is a problem area for illegal dumping. Um, and I'm thinking about the law enforcement side of it, and I'm I already know the answer, but I'm going to ask you, Mr. Chu, why are you going to have no parking on that on that strip?

Um, it it really helps with enforcement in regards to no parking anytime. Um, some of the other areas where it's limited time and all that, there's been um challenges. Um, I think many of you know just the ability to mark tires. They can't do that anymore. Um, so this is uh, you know, a hot spot and we thought we we'd give it a try. Um, so the the the concept is to put it in and monitor it and see its effectiveness or or or not, but at least um, you know, we're going to give it a try and and see how that works out.

Uh, and yes, as mentioned, the traffic safety committee has police, fire representatives from planning. I mean, it's a it's a large group that, you know, takes a look at this, but it was initiated by the um illegal dumping task force uh group. So, so yeah, hopefully this will work well.

Um yes, it will work well. Um usually folks can use parked vehicles as a shield for dumping, basically to try to hide their activity and by the time they pull out of parking spot, oh wow, there's garbage on the sidewalk. So, by not having uh cars at all, just on that little small strip, uh it can probably really deter illegal dumping tremendously. And it gives our police department probable cause to investigate. Oh, uh this whole street is empty. Why is there one car here? So the car could either be doing something illegally, the car could be stolen, but if I know that the street is clear and it should be clear, then that gives I think law enforcement additional probable cause to uh

to take action. So I want to say great job and like you said, we are optimistic and hopefully it will work out. So thank you for that. All right, who pulled number seven? Is council member DJI? No. Did you pull number seven? Uh yes, I did. Okay. Well, I'll give you the option if you would like to. Oh, Dr. Oh, I missed anybody else with comments. I still have Okay, thank you. Thank you, mayor. Um, before uh the vote, I I just wanted to commend the city manager. I remember um and this is for the uh record, Madame City Clerk, um reaching out to the city manager around uh the Washington Edgeworth.

Um issue. Um there's actually a medical facility that houses different um what do you uh medical professions there um and because they work in that space all the time. Uh Dr. Ean Vest, he's a chiropractor, you know, brought it to attention and say this is pretty dangerous cuz he always goes to work, you know, Monday to Friday. Um and had brought it up. And so I just want to say thank you to um our city manager for remembering that. Um, and I'm sure that uh, you know, the business owners and the residents, Director Chu really will appreciate it because you know whenever there is um, you're trying to it's kind of similar to that stop sign um, over there on Eastmore like you you don't want you're like you're taking your chance and we all pass by there too. And so having feeling that safety

um is so important whether it's a business owner or a resident or all of us that travel to in and out. I'm just kidding. Um but um in that realm so I just want to say thank you. I know that was something we discussed and um you executed on that. So I appreciate it. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council Member Manalo. I'll add on to that. I know after I leave the council meeting on Mondays, I go home that way when it's tough sometimes. It can it's hard to make that left turn onto uh Yeah. Eastmore and it there's already a stop sign if I'm not mistaken on Edgeorth. So, this would now become a four-way stop for Washington.

Oh, yeah. I make a left turn on I say Eastmore. Okay. Washington. Yeah. Exactly. So, wow. I didn't know you had basically precipitated that quite some time ago because it's been a problem. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. Any other comments? I'm just curious question.

I know there are probably some communities uh I'm just curious. I'm not I'm not for but are are there like any movement towards like um solar operated cameras that can use like AI to track um people that dump like in terms of like license plates? I'm just curious. I'm not I'm I'm not really something that's up my alley, but I was just curious because I'm not down with the surveillance, but just a way of using technology.

We we are exploring a lot of those uh new technologies as it relates to artificial intelligence and all that. Um I don't think there's anything that's proven at the moment, but it is things that we are looking into and we're constantly researching in terms of what can help us with this issue. Yeah. Um and and obviously working with PD as well. Um so good one. All right. Well, yeah, just the license plate readers alone have made a difference already in terms of some of these and and other other cases as well. So, thank you. Drones.

Well, um Dr. Rod would uh vice mayor and I has been working on this committee with the uh with Mr. Chu and wait till you see of some of the ideas that we got coming up. Oh my goodness. This to this is to include cameras, right? And uh we approved $15,000 for cameras, but not cameras for us, cameras for the residents. Oh, I give you a hint. Oh, so it's coming. All right, great. So, um, Miss Dia Gi, would you like to um present a motion? Motion for item number seven to be approved.

Okay. Do I have a second? Second. Second by uh council member Malo. All those uh any further discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Any oppose? Any abstensions? Okay, that uh item has passed. Moving on to item number nine. Approve a purchase agreement with GBL Infrastructure Solutions Incorporated for Predator Series by Grid Shift Solutions, Solar Street Lights and Poles. Boy, that's a mouthful. Great. Great. I found this on the web for by grid shift solutions. Solar Street lights and poles. Oh my goodness.

They're listening. Speaking of AI, I just say I didn't say hey Siri, did I? Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Okay, great. Mr. Ch, you again. Okay.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mayor and council members. Uh really excited to present this project. Um this is to approve the purchase of uh purchase agreement with GBL uh infrastructure solutions uh for the predator service uh by grid shift solutions solar street lights and post. So, um, Daily City, we currently own and maintain approximately 3,600 almost 3,700 street lights. Um, there are 14, uh, regulated out, uh, put street light circuits, which I'm sure many of you have heard of. Um, those, uh, RO circuits, uh, serve about, uh, a little bit more than 800 street lights. Um, these RO circuits operate similar to old, um, strand holiday lights. um they're basically a series circuit and so when one light goes out it impacts several other lights.

Uh so we we definitely have had situations where there's a failure and an entire neighborhood has been been in in the dark uh because of the uh series circuit street light. Um the uh Predator series by Grid Shift Solutions uh solar street light and pose provided by GBL infrastructure. Uh we're proposing to replace uh RO460 which has 49 street lights uh and replace those with uh solar street lights. Um this area is bounded by Skyline Drive on the east uh Ocean Drive to the south, Westmore A to the north. uh staff is proposing a sole source purchase for the predator series solar street lights and pose from grid shift uh provided by GBL uh infrastructure solutions. Uh grids shift solution is currently the only manufacturing offering an integrated 5G enabled control system with EIM technology. uh and it delivers real time diagnostics uh the ability to remotely monitoring uh the lights uh adaptive lighting control and performance via an open uh API platform. Um we've also had extensive conversations with the city of San Bruno. Uh they've also selected um the Predator series solar street lights after they've evaluated multiple manufacturers. Um San Bruno is our neighbor. Our conditions are very similar. Um and as a result um it makes um you know this um grid shift um series predator series an optimum choice for our uh RO460 which is 49 street lights. Uh the original RO460 Northridge conversion project was to convert it uh the series circuit to a traditional parallel circuit. Um that's already been approved by the city council. Um if approved, what we're proposing is to um not do a traditional parallel circuit,

but do it as a solar conversion. Um and so uh if approved, um that's that's what we would be uh would be implementing. Um because of the previously approved project, there are sufficient funds for this project um for the street lights and the poles in the amount of just under uh $500,000 um in in the RO460 Northridge conversion account budget. Um so in summary, staff recommends that the city council approve the purchase agreement for the solar street lights and poles uh and authorize the city manager to execute all necessary documents to complete the purchase. Um we do have representatives from uh GBL as well as from Grid Shift here. They're in the audience and so if there's any uh technical questions um they're here to assist with those. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chu. Uh vice mayor, please.

So, first of all, I'd like to thank the city uh manager uh Tom. This was there was something that uh I personally had been asking for. or I have neighbors and or not neighbors really uh people that I know that in those neighborhoods are uh have been complaining for a number of years these this is where a lot of the light fixtures are obsolete can't get parts anymore and the one place that had the parts closed so I understand that. So, I just want to thank you on behalf of the people that have been complaining to me and uh you know, I did let them know that you all have been working on it and so I'm thrilled personally. Uh but uh also uh I would ask a question. We would be saving Pen costs, correct?

Uh yes, that's correct. So, uh these run on solar. It's my understanding that it lights up like a foot football field. Some people might complain it's too bright at night, right? I mean, I don't know, but I'm but I'm really happy to hear that. Uh, and these specifically, these lights, I would guess, uh, work well in in fog and I get nods from the gentlemen. Go ahead.

Yes, that's one of the main reasons that we selected grid shift and and in our conversations with our neighbors in San Bruno. Um, the fog is a big concern um, and as well as our corrosive environment. And so um kind of piggybacking on you know what San Bruno did and and having extensive discussions um you know this is the predator series that we're

and I just the last question before everybody else has questions. Um so once this is approved and and you follow through uh how long will we be seeing these new lights and it it says 49 streets lights. So how many blocks would that be? I do know roughly um there is an exhibit uh as part of the staff report that shows the area uh for RO460. Um so maybe about 8 nine blocks roughly. Um but yeah, there's an exhibit for RO460.

Thanks. I pulled it up. But and this is kind of along the coast. Um, so it's one of the areas that uh will really give us the ability to to monitor this system, see how well it works, especially being so close to the coast. No, it's exciting. May I thank you. Um and so once this is done, do we project having how many more throughout uh is this something that this is like a test pilot kind of section? And then if if everything goes the way we believe will happen, how much how many more would we how many more streets or lights would we be looking?

Yeah. So uh currently we have uh 14 zones, 14 RO circuits. Um and so they they vary in size in regards to the number of lights. Um so if this goes the way we anticipate it going um then we will be able to implement this on other RO zones um based on availability of funds and and all of those things. But um we've got 14 zones which is quite a bit. Um, and so it will take some time, but if this works well, it'll definitely be less expensive than traditional parallel circuit and running new wires and and all of those things. So, um, so we're hopeful, but, um, this is the the start of the of of one complete zone. Uh, and then hopefully, you know, more to come.

Thank you so much. Thank you, Mr. Chu. Council member Diovani, please.

Yes. Well, Mr. Chu, timing is everything. That's the way I feel with with the technology finally came because I want people to know that Mr. Ch's been working on this over a decade because and and that that as you know has been a safety issue for a lot of people and we had this room filled with people. I think if you recall when they were going to propose breaking it up in districts and it was like I don't know 1.5 million per per district or something. You remember that for Na? Yeah. It was something like that and trying to get people on board and then other people were saying well I don't live in that area and then so it didn't pan out but here we are today with new technology and um more green technology which is even better because I think with that at that time we were looking at the the ROS and and replacing with the LED and then PG&E owned the poles and you know all that that you had to to deal with. Then he was trying to figure out when he worked with uh Phil Teen, we had a meeting when uh we had the prior city manager and then they wanted to know who was responsible because over there they had already gotten an area in Richmond done and P Genie had to pay for it. So that was very back and forth. So now I'm just so excited that thank you for being here and Mr. you. This is like um well, it hasn't happened yet, but um I think very hopeful that um green technology is here and we can take control of the rates for people where they're astronomical and uh it will help in more ways than one. public safety economically. I mean, and uh the fact that you can take that issue and actually now have for for you and for your team a way to

try to get to the solution of this finally cuz I know you really wanted to be the really it was kind of like bits and pieces and it was quite um endeavoring and I thank you for doing it. Thank you Mr. for and um with your engineers and everyone and thank you for your technology. I don't know who invented it, but uh I don't know if you're the inventors, but the they they uh thank them as well. And I'm glad that San Bruno is on board cuz they're they get pretty foggy as well. And this is the area. So, uh hopefully it'll work and people will finally get their street lights on that that you have. I want people to know you've been doing it diligently. You and Fernasy and everyone. It's been something that I know you've looked tried to keep and think about ways to get it done. So much appreciation and the um neighborhoods will be very happy and this is just the beginning. So we got a solution.

Yeah. I just like to you know Yes. Thank you, Council Member Diovani. And as you mentioned, I mean, this RO has been an issue since day one, since I started here, and even before I started here.

I remember I'm coming up on, you know, 10 years now. So, it's it's been an issue before long, long time. Um, I I I do want to uh mention and give kudos to the city manager in regards to, hey, it's time to look at solar now. and you know the technolog is there and so uh at you know um uh city manager uh you know request and kind of digging deeper into it um you know and exploring all the different options and as you mentioned new technology um it's it's gotten to the point where it's it's it's pretty reliable and and and dependable uh for for street lights. Yeah. And so so yes, definitely thank you for the city.

So Mr. Picotti, I remember. Is this a part of that solar thing that I remember this is a dating a little bit when you became on board? You proposed a pilot program or I remember something about that and I appreciate that.

Yeah, we've been looking at it for a couple years to go into solar. They may have been looking at it before, but I got to um give credit to staff for switching switching gears on this particular project. This was one that was approved to to um run the parallel circuits and they realized in a lot of our discussions that we've done enough research and there's good enough technology out there that staff decided at this point this is a good time to go solar and so I want to give them credit for doing that. Yeah, this is something we've been looking at for about three years. Uh just with regard to going solar, we've put out pilot lights out there in the city and they've been testing them and this ended up being the the the one that the city's going with. So I I think it's a good step in the right direction. I think we can pretty much if this is successful solar a lot of stuff,

a lot of areas including ball fields. So looking into that as well. So wanted to just point that out. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. For our parks and wreck or or who knows what. So thank you. You're right to the city manager for getting that push on and everyone is a team. Thank you. Thank you, uh, mayor. Thank you, Tom. Mayor, um, thank you, uh, council member, um, Diovani before, uh, vice mayor. Yes, just I give everybody a chance and we'll come back around. Uh, did anybody council member Manalo?

Thank you so much, Mayor, and thank you, um, for the presentation, Dr. Chu. I think that when I look back um over time, one of the first issues, oh my goodness, being on city council uh with mayor was definitely around the AROS. uh remember going to Southern Hills and that was an issue folks around West Lake as well as the Skyline area and learning about the old technology and that we would have to get a specific bulb from I think PG& I mean like all the intricacies because you're trying to find a solve for it and then move into finding like redoing the grid right and then moving into to the technology about 3 years ago that um city manager Picolotti said, "Hey, maybe it's time to pivot and find another solution using green energy." Um so it is really wonderful to see where we're at now and that this is a pilot area. I do recall maybe two years ago that there or two or three years ago um looking at potential technology on Doorchester. There was a solar light pole that we were able to look at with assembly member Phil Ting. Um the city manager um we went to that corner actually it's uh right across the street from one of um the homes of Miss Mata who was you know always here sometimes. Um, but seeing that that was a potential possibility and with the staff and city manager taking it on to a different level of looking at what's best out there for our city is huge because it takes obvious time, right? We're solving for something that for decade a decade or so how to solve for which was old technology and to see new

technology incorporated into you know this uh issue is is really great. So, I'm really excited to see how that all works out and integrates because obviously it's not just that area. Um, but it's looking at um innovation um and being able to um pivot when there's actually other options, right?

And so I think um yeah, kudos to the whole team here um for doing that. Um we look forward to it. Can can you do like a ribbon cutting or something when that happens because I think that's going to be like a moment so to celebrate honestly because people have been left in the dark quote unquote you know for times when um there's issues and to solve for that would be great. Yeah. Agree. So just a suggestion um in that realm because I know um mayor we heard we heard it as well like many years ago and so absolutely

you're like yeah even before that um you done council member good okay Dr. Yes. Um, as part of the Peninsula Clean Energy, I really respect the fact that we're getting like solar energy within um, our community. Um, I just have like I just three curious questions. One is um, lumen output. Just want to know I just want to know how bright this is, right? cuz we we I know what the daily city light look like but I'm not familiar with the lumens in terms of this particular product like and if you could compare it to something like this light is compared to this light.

Yeah. So I I guess I can comment in regards to um the the the bulbs themselves. Obviously just like uh a lot of different bulbs they have different wattages um that we can select from. Um and so what we try to do is uh look at the roads themselves and if it's kind of like a major arterial road that should be a little bit brighter. Um so we go with a you know slightly larger wattage bulb for some of the more residential type streets. U maybe a lower wattage um just to kind of minimize you know disruption into shining into people's lights and things like that. Um so so that's kind of what we looked at. Um um John, if you want to come in and comment in regards to specific lumens. I mean, we do try to

uh be somewhat similar to our standard. Okay. Um but well now that's one thing that's nice about the Oh, I'm sorry. I'm John Bright in. This is Ryan from Grid Shift. Um so with the Grid Shift Connect, like if you do have a someone that complains, you can dim down that light. Oh, that's my second question. Check that one. You can do that from your desktop, you know. So, um, it's going to be it, like you said, the technology is here now, you know, 5 years ago, this would have worked, you know. So, but he's the expert. If you have any direct questions you would like to talk about the the predator system. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, I guess maybe that's the transition is the um like timebased dimming or is there ways to keep because like I have the street light across my house. something. But it's like super bright. But um yeah. Is is there what is the procedures for like timebased dimming? Cuz sometimes it'll if it's is it situational or is it just a constant um consistent time of lumens that are um sh like uh just shown? It can be accustomed to what you want. So, if you did have a resident that was complaining, okay, you wanted to

at 10 o'clock, you wanted to dim that down to what you still felt was a safe uh lumen output, you could do that. And it doesn't have to be the whole street. It could just be that one. You know, you could you could dim them all at a certain time if you want to as well. Like if you wanted at like two in the morning, right, have them dim down 30%. To save energy on the battery if need be, you So my question then is because it feels very specified. So does that mean that like if let's just say that we're all neighbors and then I wanted it to be at 20% but then Glenn wants it at 100%. Then what will happen? Do they cancel each other out or they find an average and that's the average lumen? Like how does that work?

Yeah. So so I guess I'll comment. I mean this is going to be the first one for us. And so one of the things is to really try to flush out some of these things in terms of do we have an issue with with the battery and then not lasting long enough? do we need to dim it as a result of that? And one of the reasons that we went with this this specific soul source is the ability to to be flexible and and the ability to make make some of the changes kind of on on the fly. Okay.

Um because of the technology and and the ability to do it kind of remotely on our desktop uh and monitor it and check it. Um that that really gives us an advantage to to fine-tune it. Um, and obviously we'll have to decide as a city in terms of well, if it's the same street light in front of two homes and one wants a brighter one, you know, how do we handle that situation, but um, but but we do have the ability to to adjust. That's really cool. Um, so I'm excited for this. Yeah. And the the technologies based out of the Bay Area as well. So um, the the technology providers here are representative um, is located in the Bay Area as well. And then we manufacture everything out of Southern California. So,

um, and then to answer your questions about like the lumen output, um, the technology is really advanced. So, um, these fixtures get up to 190 lumens per watt. Wow. Where some of these older HPS fixtures are, you know, less than 100 lumens per watt and, um, they don't have, uh, optics that focus the light as well. So, it kind of throws the light everywhere. These are very focused. So the technologies all come together with battery technology, um solar panel technology, um and then the intelligent controls um have all really met its pinnacle um right now. So that's really that's exciting. Can they change colors?

I was serious. Like let's just say that we were having Christmas and we wanted to like do like a one minute Christmas show. Not necessarily like electric parade, but just curious. down colors. Yeah, it'll be like red and green. No, I know. Yeah, maybe. Okay. Oh, no. No. And then my last your house. We just have one up there. And then my my last questions was like uh inspection and maintenance like what is the intervals like how often does it depend on like the output or is there like a standard?

Yeah. So, we we use lithium iron phosphate batteries. That's basically all solar energy storage, home storage, electric vehicles. Um it's the technology they're using. So, uh you can expect a lifespan um up to and past 5,000 cycles, so uh 13 plus years. And paired with the the monitoring package, um you can set different alerts. So once it's starting to reach its lifespan, you can be proactive to replace those batteries, which are very easy to install. And um it's it's in partnership with that technology that allows that maintenance um to be very easy. Wow. That's it for me, mayor.

Get those alerts, too. Like that's really cool. There was a light or something versus you getting a call from a resident saying, "My lights out." Maintenance will already know, you know, and be able to address it before you get that call. Wow.

Thank you, uh Dr. Rod. I'll now go back to uh Vice Mayor who had another question. Well, you answered. I was wondering about the warranty and the lifespan and thank you for answering that question. And I was just going to say it would be nice to invite you up, but then Mr. Chu invited you up. I saw that you guys were so kind to stay with the rest of us. The least we could do is is hear you. But I guess if you could give a quick brief, if someone had no idea about your lights, what would you tell us that would want us, you know, how we would be so happy to have you? Um, well, first off, I would just one of the things that we're most proud of, we're um combat veteranowned. Uh, we make our product here in California. We're very proud of that. It's not something that you really see in the industry. Um, and then we use all the the highest grade components that go into it. So, the solar panel, the battery,

the um LEDs. So, um, the thing that I always say too is there's been so much money poured into solar panel technology and battery technology that right now is the right time for solar lighting. So, that's what I would say. Thank you. Just one last thing is um I'll mention it's been really good to work with these folks in in regards to really customizing what we what we really need. It's not just like, oh, here's off the shelf and this is what you got. you we have the ability to work with them for the

for our situation uh our conditions and you know get the right battery size get the right you know solar panel size and and all of those things. So that really increases our confidence level in regards to the reliability of of the lights um provided by this these folks. Good job Tom. All right. Um great. Um did you have something else?

I have one last question. Thank you mayor. Um, in regards to the technology, and I know my colleagues alluded to it around being able to move the light brighter or dimmer. Um, I'd like to understand like how would that work? Obviously, in kind of the situations when there's storms, right? It's a lot more darker um, you know, because of the clouds or whatnot. is the ability to make it brighter but it make sure it doesn't cause the glare effect when people are driving. You know like you know it's too bright and then but you know have you tested it in like the weather storms and is it more beneficial to residents or commercial districts when you make it brighter during a storm? I guess my question is has it been tested for that? And if so, I I would say that would if it's beneficial, then we would do it that way. I don't that's my question because you've done it.

We've we've actually never done that, but that's kind of an interesting take. So, I can look into that, but we we have never done that, you know, cuz you know how like storms go out and it gets more it feels more darker. Yeah. Right. because of just the clouds and I was just wondering since now you have the technology to brighten it then it feels a bit you know more safer because when you're driving it's and it's raining it's hard to see but when you have more light it feel you know what I don't know so that's why I don't I scientifically if it's been tested but it was a thought I'm not sure I can we can definitely look into that it's a interesting take

and because of being able to program it remotely. You can easily test that, you know. Um, but the it's the lights are set up for a certain lumen output based on the speed of the street, not the weather. So that's something if you guys as want to look at and change, you know, the the lighting schedule, like you know, a big storm, you know, is coming in and you wanted to brighten it. Say you wanted an extra 1500 lumens or something to brighten that area, that would be something. But we would also need to take in consideration the battery, but we'd have the feedback there. If we could do that, it would you wouldn't be guessing, you know. Yeah.

Um because of that technology if safety wise we could do the experiment with staff ourselves to see kind of what that gauge is. Uh okay. Thank you. I didn't I didn't know if you already did it and that's a question and if not it seems like we have the capacity to during the pilot phase kind of see those parameters. Thank you. Yeah. Well, one thing I'll just mention along those lines is um you know, you mentioned during a storm and so um one of the nice things about solar is that it's not tied to the grid and so there's been situations obviously when there's big storms and P Gen is out and it doesn't matter whether the lights are just you don't have power. Wow.

Um so so this won't won't have that situation. Um so um that that's another benefit. So yes, thank you. Just to add to that too is now with uh this new system, we won't have to coordinate with P Gen to make light repairs. So the the Bravo uh the response time and the repair time is almost like 20 within 24 hours. So I like that.

All right. Thank you. Now I'll ask my question. I guess my colleagues have had the opportunity to provide theirs. Um Dr. Rod brought up uh one of the main important thing and that is lumens. So I would assume that we will determine the lumen output of what we are using now and hopefully we would get something maybe a little bit brighter that we can control. Say if we output say maybe 2,000 lumens at a minimum and if the next step up is 2500 under this program, I would hope we would not go with the 2,000 but go with the 2500 so that we can adjust up accordingly. Is that the thought?

Yeah, I understand the question and that's definitely something we can do mention. Give us a little buffer, right? there's a situation where we might want to bump it up. Okay. Have that ability to do so. So that is something. Okay. And another question I had and uh you kind of uh both of you alluded to it at the end just moments ago and my question is how we started this in the first place is that we're operating on an RO in a series setup. Right? series means if you break connection on one all of them go out. That's correct.

That's correct. The way to correct that is to go into parallel so that if one goes out the others stay lit. But that would entail additional wiring to each one uh instead of the wires. I mean for parallel hookup.

Correct. With the implementation of solar, you would no longer have to go parallel setup because solar systems utilize a battery for backup in the sense if basic well if the light goes out there's only one reason the light's going to be go out and that's if it burnt out or there's not enough juice in the battery to charge that during the day. So uh I didn't actually get that uh in in listening because based upon our specific needs you will have to have a battery utilizing as you said lithium ion phosphate which can basically be charged to 100% with minimal degragation over uh a certain number of life cycles. So just given 5,000 life cycles, it could probably even go a little bit longer because of the nature of lithium ion phosphate. So

correct, right? So smart guy, I think better than nickel metal hydride or the you know the other ones. So basically you read our information we

uh basically we're killing two birds with one stone. we're moving away from the RO circuit and the solar light in itself is basically um we're doing away with series as well having to run wires I mean parallel at subsequently so that we don't have to run wires so it's two things in once but in order to charge the battery and keep it charged based upon the weather conditions which Mr. you you says uh it's similar to San Bruno. I'm just thinking maybe a week of rain and we don't have any sun. H it would have been nice to have a rendition of what the lights look like because to accommodate the recharging of the battery would probably take a bigger solar panel. Would the solar panel be this big?

As this screen here on each each light, two of them approximately. Yeah. So, there's there's different size panels and different size batteries for um like he alluded to, there's um what we call residential streets or feeder streets, collector streets, right? Yeah. And then the the controller also has adaptive learning if implemented too where um if there is inclement weather or like we've dealt with um down south um with fires that it um it doesn't deplete itself. So it understands how much time is left um in the night and it can make it through the night without um crashing itself. So there's adaptive learning that's also interesting can be implemented as well. So

so subsequently uh you know I'm sure the battery is enough in there to last the whole night but I'm looking at a a time frame say maybe three or four days. So what I'm hearing from you is the system can perhaps adjust and maybe instead of 80% brightness maybe if it sees that the battery is going lower then it may start off at 30% the next day. Adaptive learning so that correct to kind of maintain the battery because once you discharge all the way you kind of like ruin the battery if you continually to do that. You could Yeah. Correct. Okay. Yeah, the lithium iron phosphate's really resilient. So, right. Okay.

If you're doing it night after night, it's it's definitely detrimental, but yeah, that's one thing like with it doing this. We've I've worked with San Bruno for the last four years and this isn't something they just

we did multiple pilots. They worked with other manufacturers and we did a pilot of 10 and we did another pilot of 10 and they really wanted not only because of the fog, they wanted to see it in December and January. the toughest months, you know, uh, for solar. And so they did their diligence. Uh like I said, they and because I work so closely with public works and engineering, I got to hear all the horror stories of the competition as well of all the issues they were having. you know, one light if you had three or four days of just fog or or even just cloudy weather, it didn't work, you know, and so um through the testing and and and that was one of the things they also like the grid shift connect because I talked to um the city uh streets maintenance guy and he said, "Yeah, there's this big tree."

Yeah. Redwood. Yeah. And um it you know they kept on playing with it and dimming it and figuring out what they were going to do. And so but because of the grid shift connect they were able to adapt and make changes where if it was maybe another compet competitor is something that's pre-programmed and you're stuck with it. You'd have to replace a whole unit and stuff. So this is much more adaptive.

Your partner he said the magic word and that's adaptive. And that's what I uh really like um anomalies and uh I think you basically answered it already for me and that's weather conditions and subsequent but you know we get a lot of wind you know I just keep looking over to my right and look how big uh this and um hopefully that's going to be anchored down pretty well. Uh uh thank you again uh Mr. Picolotti. I had made a a note here. Uh I remember we had something going on at Westlake and uh it's good to know that we haven't stopped looking and Mr. Chu your continued work on this as well as um concluded also by what I've heard up here on the DAS. So uh that's all I have at this time. So, thank you so much and uh open up to my partners for any final comments before we move on. Hearing none and seeing none uh

through the chair. Yes, Mr. Speaker. As part of the early research, I think you brought from a conference you brought us some lights, an idea for some lights. Those are in service at the water wastewater plant. So, just so you know, when that didn't fall on deaf ears either. you went to a conference and brought back some technology and it's in use, several of them. So, just wanted to point that out.

Well, Mr. uh Piglotti, uh you make me feel so much better. And as a note to my colleagues, anything you learned, our city manager is always open. That was years ago, sir. About three years ago. Thank you for uh that reminder, Mr. Pigotti. Thank you so much. Really means a lot. Okay. Uh, council member, uh, was it DJani who pulled number nine? That's correct. I'm glad I'm glad I pulled it. And, um, I'd be happy to make a motion uh, for approval of item number nine. All right, we have a first. Is there second?

Second by council member Manalo. Any further discussion on the uh, on the item number nine? Uh, all those in favor say I. I. I. Any oppose? Any abstensions? The motion has passed. Congratulations, gentlemen, and thank you. Thank you all for the uh due diligence and great work. Thank you very much. All right.

Okay. So, that's the end of the consent agenda. Moving on to item number 13, public hearings. And uh looks like we have Mr. Nevin. um proposed increases and updates to the daily city master fee schedule. Mr. Nevin, good evening.

Good evening. Thank you. Uh good evening to you, honorable mayor, vice mayor, and council members. Item number 13 is a public hearing regarding the proposed master fee schedule for fiscal year 2027. Uh this year, master fee schedule updates. Uh just a brief uh history. In 2022, council reviewed the user fee study uh that staff had completed with a consultant and adopted a master fee schedule. At that time, staff recommended that future reviews happen annually. And here we are. Last year, the majority of fees were increased by a council approved 2% COLA or cost of living adjustment. This year, finance suggests a 3% cola increase across most fees that were adjusted last year. Uh fee changes for general fees in the schedule. Most fees were increased by the 3% cola. Uh fees not impacted include deposits and those regulated by outside agencies or legislation. Uh most fees are rounded down to the nearest dollar figure and fees that were less than uh 33 cents were increased by just 1 cent. There were uh some fee changes in recreation fees. Um so certain fees were impacted um due to better alignment with other program areas. uh reflecting hourly wage increases, accounting for increasing supply cost or relevant certifications, and also incorporating a revised scholarship program. There were also some uh new fees that were created for new youth and adult programming. Uh staff recommends that the city council conduct a public hearing and then adopt a resolution approving the

proposed updates and increases to the master fee schedule as outlined in attachment A. staff is available to provide any additional information desired by the mayor or council members. Thank you.

That concludes my presentation. Thank you, Mr. Nevin, you had me surprised there because you came up with a whole lot of papers and I thought it was going to take some time, but you you went right through that. Thank you, Mr. Nevin. All right, so any questions for um Mr. Nevin? Yes, sir. Uh oh, I'm sorry, Vice Mayor, please. No worries. Um, thank you, Mr. Nevin. I I appreciate this. Uh, actually the explanation. And I just had a quick qu question regarding parking meters.

Um I know many of our parking meters are not working and I know that the city manager is currently has been uh working on new machines. Would this change mean we're working towards getting our meters? We are in the process of um our parking meter program uh and updating that. Um we are looking at taking the existing meter heads and replacing those with um uh more advanced meter heads and um also looking at expanding a bit maybe the footprint of where some of those parking meters are. But that should um take care of a lot of our long-standing issues of uh meters and meters being jammed and and other sort of uh problems that ex existed in our parking meter program for years. So, we're looking to to revamp you'll see um hopefully very soon some some new parking meters. Um not actually the poles themselves, but what's on top of the poles. So, the meters.

Thank you very much. I was just looking through, you know, the different uh uh departments how your list on the master fee schedule. So, thank you very much for providing this. And I'll just add on on the parking meter program. It was a uh a program that was approved by council in this two-year budget cycle, half a million dollars per year for this year, half a million dollars for next year. So, we hope to have the full program completed uh as I mentioned soon.

Thank you again. Thank you. Vice Mayor. Uh, any other questions for Mr. Nevin? All right. Um, what I'd like to do at this time is open uh the public hearing. Do we have any speakers? No speakers. And entertain a motion to close the public hearing at this time. Motion to close public hearing. Uh, first. Is there a second?

Second. Second uh the hear uh public hearing is now closed. So I'll entertain a motion to adopt the resolution. Glenn Sylvester, I'll gladly make a motion to adopt the resolution to the uh daily city master fee schedule. Second. Okay, we have a first and a second. Before we take a roll call vote, is there any further comments or discussion hearing? None. And seeing none, may I have a roll call vote, please? Miss D. Giovani, I. Dr. Rod, I. Miss Piranho, I. Miss Manalo, I.

Mr. Sylvester, Glenn Sylvester. I thank you. Motion passes. Moving on to ordinance item number 14, second reading. Reading ordinance number 1489 amending chapter 17 of the daily city municipal code re res regarding zoning ordinance updates and uh I'll turn it over to um our city attorney. Thank you Mr. Mayor and members of city council. This item came before you by introduction at the last regularly scheduled meeting. This is the second reading of the ordinance of the city council of the city of Daily City amending chapter 17 of the municipal code.

Okay. Um are there any questions from my colleagues? Just uh oh uh yes, council member DJI just for the public to to let them know what is that MUN code explanation through the city attorney. So the municipal code is chapter 17. It's in regards to certain zoning updates to the code. Oh, just all the way across the whole code, right? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. City your turn. Uh uh if it helps, council member DJI, I believe that pertains to building height. Correct. Oh, that's what I meant. Thank you. Contiguous front yard paving.

Thank you, mayor. I'm looking for the part uh pertaining Oh, the permit. We uh madam city attorney I think I had made a recommendation that we go back to what right the planning staff recommended which was three years rather than five years with no extension but this should be three years with the possibility of extension for cars correct that's correct okay great okay great yeah that yeah thank you just for the public thank you mayor

great so any other questions for madam city attorney or on this ordinance Uh, okay. So, I'll entertain a motion to uh to accept a second reading ordinance number 1489 amending chapter 17 of the daily city municipal code. Motion to approve. We have a motion by council member Manalo. Is there a second? Second. Council member Diovani. Second. Any further discussion, concerns? Hearing none and seeing none, may I have a roll call vote, please? Miss G. Giovanni, I. Dr. Rod, I. Miss Piranho, I.

Miss Manalo, I. Mr. Sylvester,

Glenn Sylvester. I thank you very much. Uh, the next item is 15. This is also second reading. Ordinance number 1490 adding chapter 17.62. 62 to the Daily City Municipal Code and this is in regards to commercial cannabis non retail combining district and reszoning parcels. Anyone have any thoughts or uh comments? Okay. Then hearing none and seeing none, as this is the second reading, I'll uh I'll entertain a motion to accept item number 15.

So moved. Uh motion by Dr. Rod. Second. Second by council member um Dier, I mean um Vice Mayor, uh Piranho. Um I have a comment to make, but I'll make it just before uh my vote. Uh, so may I have a roll call vote, please? Miss D. Giovanni. Um, voting no because I think we can do better in our neighborhoods and I'm opposed to Beayshore being affected in the mission street. Thank you. Dr. Rod I, Miss Piranho I, Miss Manalo, I, Mr. Sylvester.

Uh, Glenn Sylvester I. And with a comment, um, like to say thank you to the folks. I believe it was the vice mayor and Dr. Rod who served on this committee. I vehemently opposed it at first but till I learned and the magic word for me was non- retail. So it's nondescript to me. So it's not like uh where the public is always accessing it. I didn't learn that if it wasn't for the both of you. So I want to thank you for that. So I that's why I'm voting I at this time.

All right. With that being said, the motion passes. All right. The next item Oh, anybody Oh, okay. Um, next item on the agenda is appointments. Does anyone have any appointments this evening? Um, through the mayor. Yes. I just want to announce that I will be having at our next meeting to fill the appointments necessary. Okay. Yeah. Thank you very much. Thank you. Anyone else have any appointments? Okay. What I would like to do at this time is nominate a Mr. Mark Estrada. Oh, right on. You know him? He was my former student.

And I mentored him throughout college. Small world. Small world. Okay. I'd like to nominate Mr. Marcus Strada to the recreation parks and recreation commission. Apparently, he'll be filling the seat that was recently uh vacated by Christina Luna, who went to the uh library commission. So, uh we we we we got to really keep our commissions going. Um I had a conversation with Mr. Estrada. He's nice.

He attended San Francisco State University with an MS degree. also San Francisco State with a BA degree. Like you said, Dr. Rod, he also attended Skyline College with a AA in psych psychology. He currently works at El Camino High School and he deals I got a little cut off for me, but uh he's very active and especially working with students. And when you work with students, you think about programs and how to keep them engaged.

Um, he uh attended Jefferson Elementary School District and Jefferson Union High School District and he played in various leagues and youth programs and especially football in the seventh and eighth grade. So, I think he will be a wonderful addition to the parks and recreation uh commission. So, with that said, I would like to nominate Mr. Mark Estrada. He is a Daily City resident. Also, mayor, may I may I comment as well?

Please, Dr. Mark, if you're um out there listening, just want to say um congratulations. Um I've seen this young man grow up from, you know, going through Skyline College to um going to SF State. He was also part He was also a teacher for my nonprofit, Pinoy Pana Educational Partnerships, and was also mentored by my wife, Dr. Dr. Arlene Doss Magbal through her uh work with um the Anna PZ grants at S SF State. Um you know, he's a wonderful dad partner and I think he'll be a great asset um to Daily City.

Thank you, Dr. Rod. All right, any other comments? So, with that nomination, I believe I would need a second, Madam City Attorney, to accept my nomination. Happy to second that. Uh, Council Member Manalo, thank you very much. And a voice vote. A voice vote. Okay. All those in favor say I. I. Any oppose? Any abstensions? Congratulations. Motion passes. And thank you, uh, Dr. Rod. Are there any other appointments at this time? All right. Uh, moving on, we have, uh, reports, council committee reports. Go ahead, Dr. Ron.

I do, Mayor. Uh, Panessa Clean Energy. Yes. And then Okay, great. Dr. Roth, please.

Okay. Um, let's see here. So, I attended the Peninsula Clean Energy uh meeting on March 26, 2026. Um, so they've been doing a lot of outreach as they did from our past um council meetings. And so they've been going around conducting council briefings at Los Banos, Daily City, East Palto. Uh and then they're going to be doing community events throughout May, including Earth Day celebrations in Belmont, San S. Carlos, San Bruno, Pacifica, East Palto, along with an Athetherton ribbon cutting, and Cinco de Mayo activities. Um they also are in the midst of still rebranding. to West Light Energy.

They actually showed us a um kind of like a blueprint of how it's going to look like for their new offices. So,

um currently we just have one main lobby where we conduct our um meetings. What they have is multiple meeting rooms, also kind of like a meditation room as well. Um a wellness room, all gendered restrooms. Um and then everything is nature inspired and energy efficient design. They also had a report about affordability and some legislative and federal updates. So um PG& as you know have been increasing a lot of their rates. So PCE is trying to find ways to do some uh rate stabilization and so they had like customer bill programs they talked about. Um they also talked about um income qualified all customer programs that lower upfront and ongoing energy costs. They talked about used EV rates. So um using um rates that can provide opportunities for electronic vehicles, home electronic electrification loans, EV ready ebike rebates and solar um storage. We also talked about the gov PV program and one of the main um stars of that report was Daily City. So, um, so they talked about how our sites of Daily City Hall, um, and also Redwood City Police Department, South San Francisco Police Department, they've all are different, um, using different funds, grants, tax credits, surplus, uh, where they're going to be electrifying um, these different buildings. So um so we're so I'm um there's a lot of transition a lot of growth in PCE. Um I also have another report. Um I attended the SFO community roundt in Milbury. Um on April 1st, 2026,

we did a couple of things. We nominated a new chair and vice chair. So Steven Ramaldi from Milibbury and vice chair Paul Gold from the town of Woodside. We also had a um report by Mike uh Nakurquette who's SFO airport director and he went into a little bit about um SFO usage and he said that they're close to prepandemic levels. Um they should see a tick uptick in

SFO flights because of the FIFA World Cup. Um but then he also said there might be a chance that summer travel might be affected due to the Middle East crisis that's happening right now. He also touched upon touched on um the department of home homeland security and what happened in SFO on March 22nd where a woman and her child were detained and they're talking about how um SFO has a third party uh security

and so one of the critiques was how department of homeland security ICE and they coordinated on a federal level but because SFO is under um San Francisco jurisdiction

um they don't participate with um ICE um because it's at the local level similar to our um our practices here in Daily City. Um and then there was also talks about where is it sound levels u about um some reports about daily city and u noise conditions. So, they were talking about how um let's see here. Oh, here we go. So, no, November 2025 noise reporting summary list. There was like five noise reports and out of those five noise reporters, they reported 936 noise reports. And then that same report states that 70% 73% of all logged noise reports were associated with SFO with smaller shares linked to San Jose, Oakland, Palo Alto, San Carlos and other airports. Okay. And so um the report suggests that Daily City remains an active community in regional air aircraft noise conversation even though some other cities generate higher total complaint volume. And the data can also be useful in supporting future requests for targeted re outreach, mitigation, clear publication or public communication during runway closure period. And

um I believe they they released a report that is released throughout the county about this large report. Um I'm still trying to get used to the language lingo and the maps. Um yeah, it's pretty informative, but that's it for me. Mayor Yeah.

Yeah. Thank you, Dr. Rod. Uh, any other committee reports? I have three. Anybody else? I do from um CKG. Okay. Okay. Council member Mandalo. Thank you, Mayor. Um uh first and foremost um I just want to say thank you to um Dr. Rod for that extensive oh my

um overview of the SFO round table. I feel like that's like the first time I've heard a very comprehensive report on that and so I just want to say thank you um for doing that stepping in and informing us here on the DAS. Um thank you for that. um like even in that just synopsis learned a lot you know and so much appreciated um wanted to share with everyone um there was a CCAG meeting on April 9th um and uh there was some presentations we honored Susie Kulkin for her years of service um and also a certificate of appreciation honoring Shawn Sharpier for his years of service um as he will be moving moving on as the city manager for the city of Pacifica, also honoring Adam Rack as uh the past chair. Um and we did receive a presentation on Connect Bay Area with their local investment plan. um and really um understanding how they're trying to uh I would say um survey our communities and so um especially from SAMR I think it's important um for us to be able to share that survey you know some of the questions I had on there is um well what is given the jurisdiction of Sato county like what is their basis on having a certain amount of surveys and they said they had no threshold. So I was like oh okay there's no threshold they're just trying to get as many surveys as they can and it's more qualitative. So to me, um, if we can just send it out again through our

channels, um, I'll send it to a city manager to send out again because it's really identifying if this measure passes, it's a return to source. So then they're trying to capture, okay, when we get this money back and it's returned to source, where should we put those dollars? Um so yes I will just send it over we maybe we have sent it out already it's a survey but that was a lot of questions from my other colleagues around the other um cities because we're like okay well I mean how what does the data do and what happens when you get the data you know and so it was um it's their tool they're using right now so the more we share it with our users or what's needed around transit especially on SAM trans um it's going to be very helpful um when it's returned to source also um we did appoint an acting director khaki um Chun as acting um executive director um since uh April 24 um Sean will no longer be with CEK. Um, and so our next meeting will be on May 14. And I want to say thank you to, um, Vice Mayor Rod for, um, attending that meeting in my place. Thank you.

Sure. Thank you, um, Council Member No. Thank you. All right. Any other uh, Vice Mayor, please? Thank you. Um, I attended uh the International Council of Shopping Centers in Monterey with uh Oh, yeah.

Yeah. with uh Maybel Man uh Mano, economic development specialist. And uh I learned a lot. It it was a very interesting gathering of people. Uh I'm happy to have attended. Uh but basically there were many businesses some that are already in Daily City and others you know where you contemplate and you you see what's out there and where people want what cities they're looking at and we look at

you know what businesses could come and I think that was an enlightening and a learn a huge learning experience for me. So, I appreciate having the opportunity to represent. Uh there uh interesting enough, there weren't just businesses when you went into the big hall. There were cities. So, actual cities were lining up and had tables and they were trying to attract. So, kind of like in reverse. So, I thought that was quite interesting. um in itself uh I was uh as I mentioned earlier with uh with Mayor Glenn Sylvester. I have uh we had an illegal dumping committee uh with the various staff here at the city and I thought it was quite productive and uh so that was that and as well as uh uh I know I'm missing one but I'll leave that one for you uh mayor. I know it's not on my list. Um, but I also uh attended or with uh council member uh Jess Manalo, the public library council committee, which was uh I thought went well and also with uh uh Tim Nevin as well, uh director and uh assistant I always forget his title, assistant city manager. There you go. And uh as uh the other thing was um I was I I went to a city of coma uh they h they were thanking Lucky Chances Mr. Ed Lee. Many of us know him. He's been a fixture uh uh with Lucky Chances and in in helping within the community of both Daily City and uh obviously Koma. So uh I was happy to be there. I presented a certificate on behalf of all of us, thanking him for everything that he's done for us. Uh,

and uh, I know I'm forgetting something, but I just wanted to just say um, that I'm always proud to serve. So, thank you very much. Thank you, Vice Mayor.

All right. Um, on April 8th, I attended a meeting with the Sanonteo County Mosquito and Vector Control District. Basically everything is going good as as normal. I always try to bring out the highlights. Apparently we've uh established an ad hoc real estate committee report to uh build another building which is basically around the corner 1415 North Carolyn. The reason why I bring this up because the process that the district took uh those of uh the folks on the committee, we had 24 attendees to uh uh place bids on the project and 17 of them were contractors. And I had asked a question which they could not give me an answer. uh would they be employing union labor or is they a PLA? So when the actual winner of the bid uh was at the meeting, I asked the question again and uh within the day they got back to me and uh to my understanding the person is a union contractor himself and they will be using PLA. So, um, prevailing wage is what the workers will get on the project. And we subsequently approved the, uh, bid for 7,156,000. So, uh, that's coming going to come through. In the area of real estate, I was happy to attend the HART Housing Endowment and Regional Trust meeting on March 25th,

and we discussed numerous resolutions, especially for uh developments. But the one I'm going to highlight is it's finally came to fruition, which is 1788 Sullivan Avenue, formerly known as 493 Eastmore. You know, the one we we put up all our signs on the fence.

Well, that's going to be 72 units, all affordable units. And thanks to my colleagues here on the uh dis we have provided funding for that project through um uh planning and you all approved that which was great. I think that's to the tune of 5 million. They came to heart asking for an additional 2.4 million. Yeah. And uh I got a message here. Oh, now I don't know. Justin will probably understand this better than I is going to be 20 to 50% AMI. Is that pretty low

for folks to get in there? Uh, AMI is the area median income. And so at 50% it's um half of the median income, but at 20% it's it's pretty low. Okay. Right. So that's actually you're going to get more um very affordable homes in there. Got it. And um as you know 493 Eastmore it's a uh transitoriented

is close to BART and transit. So they got additional funds for that. So I'm very happy to say that HART went ahead and approved that uh additional monies for them. So I believe the county is also putting money into that project as well.

Yes. Okay, let me see. Mosquito, heart, and I have one other one. Oh. Oh, Mr. Picolotti. Oh, boy. On April 9th, I met with the county of Sonteo Department of Emergency Management. And every year, we daily city pays its share. Every city in the 21 cities of San Monteo pays their share for emergency management to include hazmat and responding to hazmat incidents. And somebody begged the question, well, what about getting some money from uh uh bio biotech for hazmat

because we tried to get money from them and they said, "No, we have our own hazmat team." Well, you're gonna have to start responding to some of these incidents if we call you because we have I think it's uh consolidated fire has a hazmat team in existence. But what I wanted to bring out is the formula that they used. And I don't know, I'm still questioning uh the formula, but um they say it's based on population. And uh daily city uh Daily City uh $196,724.

Wow. So I say, who's who's almost as large as Daily City at 190? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Recommended. Yeah. 196,000. 724. Now, who's Redwood City? They went up to 219,000. Wow. San Matteo, which I think they're bigger than us now. They went up to 264,000. coma. How much? $7,115. Oh my gosh.

Uh and uh I got a whole bunch of cities here. Let's take uh Hillsboro. Oh wow.

61,000 dollars. So you you know okay population is one thing but I would I like to see a more I I have to understand this more so because I think it should also be based on calls for service who get who utilizes uh emergency manage management even more so uh just so that was the crux that I got out of that. So, uh, they're going to send this information to all the cities and, uh, so let Miss Picardi know that it's coming. I'm sure Mr. Nevin has budgeted for that. So, that's all I have for the committees that I've attended within the past two weeks. Yeah. Council member Malo, please.

Thank you. So, um I just wanted to add on um with the attendance to the library committee with vice mayor um that uh really the premise of that meeting was to see whether or not we can look at options to increase um hours or days of usage uh for the libraries. And and so that was really the the premise of us convening. Um, we've had two meetings already. Um, and I think, you know, we're gonna probably have a third one coming when we we have. So, I'm glad to, uh, be on the committee with you. Um, Vice Mayor, I know that, um, when we talk about the libraries, which we care deeply about, it's really looking at how we can do it and, um, foresee potential ways to do so. So, I wanted to um share that. And then also um I also was on another committee with you, mayor,

right? Uh yeah, I I didn't know if we had gotten to that one yet. Is that under the next city? It's under committees. Oh, is it under the committees? Yeah. Okay, then I got a few more, too. You go ahead. the the didn't we we met for the beayshore beayshore um revitalization. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. So we met at a committee on the beayshore revitalization. Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay.

And really looking at um just that development and we have that remainder land and parcel um that's out there. And um I think at this point, you know, it's a discussion that will be brought forth um to the council as a whole um to see whether or not um you know, we need to look at another opportunity to see what other options are out there um in regards to the land. Um because of I think it's important. I I think that's where we ended up, right? Is that where we're at?

Oh, yeah. I'm I'm just wondering. You do pretty good at uh being a little bit uh um not giving it all. Oh, because I'll tell I'll I'll tell you everything. You're pretty good at it. I'll I'll leave it to you, Mayor. No, I don't know if it's I don't know. I'll ask city. Is it I mean where are we at or are we waiting to agendaize the item cuz since I think you reported appropriately. Um we will be going forward on bringing for the council to um present a possible new RFP for the project. Oh said even better.

Oh that's all for our committee. Thank you. Um, thank you, uh, Council Member Manalo and, uh, Madam City Attorney. With that being said, I'm not going to open my mouth and add any more to it because everybody's, what what what's going on? So, okay. Thank you for that. Uh, uh, council me uh, vice mayor had mentioned illegal dumping. I kind of alluded to it at the at the earlier part of the meeting. Uh, we have a project coming up pretty soon. You all are going to be happy to hear the proactive steps that our police department, code enforcement, uh, vice mayor, myself, Mr. Chu, and who else is on there? Police department, the captain, uh, uh, Leilani. Oh, yeah. Uh, Leilani and, uh,

enforcement. Code enforcement. Anna Santiago. Huh? Streets division. Oh, streets. Oh, what a great committee. And um my original thought was just to have you on there, but I got to like it. It's fun, huh? You know, the vice mayor always posts pictures. She drives around daily city and she'll tell you in a moment if about folks dumping it's this has got to stop. And uh with the work that's been

Oh yeah. And uh with the work that uh staff has been doing and was it clean and uh we've got something coming up pretty soon and you're all going to be happy to hear that. So, that's another committee that we serve on, the vice mayor and I. And uh that's all. Any other Okay. Anything else? City council.

Uh uh yeah, city council everything. Will you attend any events and anything? Oh, Dr. Ro. Um let's see. On April, Friday, April 3rd, I had the privilege of speaking at career day at my son's school, Fernando Rivera Intermediate. I saw folks from PD and also water. Um, awesome kids. I feel like I was talking in front of Skyline College kids, but they're just smaller.

But they're they're very engaging. Um, I told them that I'm I'm I gave them a 34 for one special because I'm a nonprofit director, a professor, and a city elected. So, and then they're like, "How do you do it?" I'm like, "I don't know, but it's fun." I was like, "I don't have a boring life." Um, so just want to say thank you to um Mr. Zoo at at Fernando Rivera and all the teachers that allow me to speak in front of their students. And then from speaking to middle school students one week and then this past Friday on April 10th, I was able to keynote the Philippine X law student association of UC Davis, their Filipino graduation. So it was pretty cool to change gears from middle school students to um future law students. Um, and

wow, it's it's really cool to see um folks get into their professions and see where they come from and how they got to where they're at. And I was able I was able to bring my to my children and to see like, hey, is this something that you would want to do?

And um sharp. These students are very very sharp in terms of what they did in undergrad to what type of sacrifices they had to go through. There were some students that were from the islands of Hawaii and um Florida, leaving their families behind and coming all the way to to to the to one from the east coast, one from the islands and building coming here with no friends and no family and and and this uh Philippine X law student association served as their community and their family as they go through this strenuous voyage through law school. So, thank you to both those institutions.

Nice. Thank you, Dr. Rod. Any others? Oh, uh, Council Member Malo. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Um, I just, uh, wanted to share that I was able to join the state of the Cow Palace.

Um, that happened. Um and it was really good to hear what was happening with the director Allison and also um huge congratulations to Al Perez who I believe is the first Asian um chair and Filipino chair of our president of the Cow Palace. Um also it was great to hear um really the increase in usage of Cow Palace. Oh yeah.

In 2025 um a total of $6,963 um has come in through um their events. Um the event tickets doubled um in 2024 to 2025. Um, and also we've been bringing in worldrenowned artists where usually they are in different European main cities and then their their city in the United States happens to be Cal Palace daily city.

Wow. And so I mean seeing that type of usage has been an uptick to um you know people seeing the venue again as a worldrenowned venue. And so I think that's really wonderful. There were also local um motel owners that were there that never actually like came to Cow Palace or or state of Cow Palace and said they want to get more involved. it's been a family business for a long time and so I think really kind of um seeing where that can move towards in and spurring that type of activity um and they've been able to and I just want to say uh thank you to our daily city police department because I know that they've helped a lot when there's large events um in in regards to the the safety um with these large musical events for young people

and it's pretty constant and so um you know I think the goal hopefully one day in that corridor is to have more opportunities for restaurants and food and um maybe when the revitalization of Cow Palace that there'll be by that time a demand for maybe a hotel on that side. Um given the proximity to biotech on 101 and then also you know the events you know that people you know usually they want to stay somewhere close to where they're going to be um you know watching a show. Um so that was really great to hear. Um and then also um the next thing I want to share is the Dr. Jose Razal project that will be at Ceremony Library. I I want to acknowledge staff um for meeting with the committee. Um for those of you watching, Jose Rozelle is a global figure for peace, education, and human rights. Um and to see the project um you know take the steps forward um is really something um on the horizon. um also joined the building trades of Sonteo County um with other elected officials and really um the individual organizations there um reiterated the importance of having young people that may not move into collegate tracks to move into the trades. And that opportunity um is, you know, around, you know, getting jobs that are close to starting at um six figures and sometimes

at six figures. And so it's really a way to sustain um you know, living in the Bay Area, but also find something that they might be interested in if they are they like to work with their hands and build and create and all of that. And so that was really wonderful. It was at the beautiful Feralon room in Skyline College which we all know. Also um wanted to say that the spring funday was really amazing turnout. I know that uh Mayor Glenn was there and also Supervisor Canipa and I al also had a really joyful time giving out the eggs just to see the children. I mean it's such a joyful time like really there the you know when seeing the kids smiles and I want to say congratulations Denise to your entire team. Um it is it's just a joyful time and you put on I feel like every single time it just gets better and better. There's like more more activities, more um you know inflatables. Um, and I know that the children um really enjoy it. Um, also I joined the Sato County leaders to protect essential services um, regarding our VLF funding. Um, it was so important. There was over 200 uh, folks there at the Redwood City firefighter um, station. And when we talk about VLF funding, I think even when I onboarded it to city council, it was a constant fight to get our legislators to get our money back.

Um it was every year constantly um lobbying and and saying, "Hey, at the end we need our money back to our communities and our cities." Um but right now it's a battle. You know, I think even for our city, we didn't get the full amount. And so that means dollars that is not going back to our general fund, dollars that we need. And so as a whole region and county, everyone is working together um to find a permanent fix for this so that we don't expand energy every single year and that multiple jurisdictions have the same issue and more united force to find a permanent resolve. Um and so I want to say thank you. I I saw our daily city staff out there, assistant city manager Nevin, Director Crosgrove, um Battalion Chief Gracia and uh representatives from police and fire um out there. Um and it was just really it just showed a very unified uh approach from Sonteo County that we need to push the state to find a solution. Um, also wanted to share that I was able to see the FIFA World Cup.

Oh, nice.

Like the actual FIFA World Cup um with Ethan, he's a soccer fan. Uh, but the city and county of San Francisco, sponsored by Coca-Cola, was able to bring it to city hall for like two hours. Um, but the World Cup can only be touched by a champion or a head of a a nation. We didn't get to touch it, of course, but there was a there was a there was a a soccer player who won there who was like holding it and kissing it, but just to see that also the youth be so enamored like, "Wow, that's the real World Cup." And really there's only one and it just travels. And so, um, you know, I we hope that hopefully during the World Cup, we're able to, um, have some of that activity in our city, right? Because it's here now. Um, fun fact, I was in the Stanford World Cup game in 1994. Yeah, that that's always my fun fact. But um with Jefferson High School um they had young uh cheerleaders come and uh perform that the show the halftime show with uh Carlos and Tennana and so I mean that's many moons ago. Um but so it was really exciting to see that. And then also um Empire is a independent label in San Francisco and they had an event called Steep in Power, but it was really around a tea time with women empowerment. That's it's called Steep in Power. Um and it's really rare to have a woman president. Tina Davis um is the president of Empire. They also had artists Annayia um and many of the women in leadership with

Empire. So to be surrounded um around uh women in an industry that is usually maledominated um but to have executive roles was really wonderful to see around cross collaboration and just the realness of breaking barriers in the music industry. Um uh also I I'm grateful and humbled to be honored by the AsianPacific American Leadership Foundation um for my civic leadership and public service. That was a surprise when I went to this event. I'm just uh grateful for that. And then also last but not least, I was able to go back to my alma mater Jefferson High School for their career day. I want to thank Shane Nicholls from the school who is um their career person um to invite um me. I was able to tag a team with supervisor Canipa. Um oh my goodness, being in the little theater is like I I was brought back. I'm like we're in the little theater. And um so we just talked about uh public service and also ways uh to give back and also it doesn't have to be later on in in life to give back and that you know if you're a young person that want has an idea now uh bring forth those ideas and um start start now. Um and so that was uh really wonderful to be back but also brought back so many memories. Uh, and that is that's it, mayor. Thank you.

Thank you. Wow. All right. Anyone else? Uh, council member Diovani, please.

Yeah, I'll make mine short. Um, but we all know there were almost 3,000 I think 3,000 Miss Director uh children or if not more at this this year's event. And it was a fabulous event. And yeah, I was there as well as uh the mayor and council member Manalo and the children. Um I don't know, it's it's a cuteness overload. I think that we all enjoyed that. We had Thank you to the vendors that that were there as well. There were local vendors um with their wares and to Romeo and to everyone that that Jeff and so they did well plan and the bunny was in one room and then they had story time. So, I think that was a great added addition and I thought that to me, yes, Miss Shayla and uh was there as well. And so, it was a combination of the there was something for everyone, which I love that. And of course, we love the food and the food trucks and everything that is associated with it. We had great weather and um I thought it was perfect, perfect weather, good time and it does get better and better as council woman says. I also attended the Sanonteo County press conference on the VLF and uh without repeating what she said, I wanted to make sure that that um on the VLF funding while everyone was there, I noticed that we have a website that they were advertising for everyone to go to and I think that you probably received um city manager and all of us that we need to promote that. I saw where South City on their uh marquee is is uh saying something like um there's a billion dollars out there go to I think it's SF

let's see Samonteo County SMC uh funding VLF funding uh dot I don't think it's.com or what have you but I would like to entertain with uh through the mayor and my council members and the city manager if we could do it on our near our ceremony to advertise that like they're doing in South City, albeit theirs is at their library. So that people really they're asking us, the county is asking us to really put it out there so people can learn more about it and put pressure on the state legislators and as well and advertise that site and and and defer to that as well. All other cities, Belmont and all of them are really pushing it as well as our social media. So, um, through the mayor. Um, so I like to entertain that as well so that we could also be a part of it and show them that that we also, um, have a way of getting the word out and that other people can make that call or go on the website and find out why we need it. It affects public safety. It affects our libraries. It affects our public works. And I want the city manager thanking him for bringing people from wastewater and our fire and everyone that showed up. I think we had a great representation as councilwoman Manalo um alluded to um for us at the at such an important and our assistant city manager at that really important news conference. So um because it's really going to hurt people. They were saying things like in Redwood City, they would have to cut nine, I think believe nine or 11 firefighters if they didn't get the money. So, multiply that. Of course, they're going to have, you know, the head chief of there speak as well, but that would be great if we could do that. And also also maybe because we know there's already

legislation for ebikes and scooters at the state level, but I know we have had several incidents um and injuries in Daily City um of young people and all ages on ebikes. And if we could um through the mayor and our city manager uh focus on that at some point and have it as on our um agenda, that would be great because it is a very serious and other cities are enhancing what the state has because even the scooters and they're having children ride on the scooters without helmets and I think that maybe look into that as well with with the mayor and the city manager and maybe adopt our own ordinance like other cities But thank you very much. And so looking forward to everything that is happening. I think we're the mayor will be announcing small business commission event coming up. Uh and whatever he would like to announce, that'd be great. Thank you very much.

Okay. Thank you, uh, Council Member DJani. Uh, anyone else? All right. I'm just going to comment on the spring fun day as well. while I was there and so was our city manager as well. When he walked up to one of the one of the food trucks, I thought he was going to buy me a meal, but I haven't been eating much lately. So, you're okay, Tom, you know. So, but it was good to see you out there. Uh that uh event was so well organized. I'm just so impressed. Uh and uh city staff would say, "Oh, okay. Well, I need you over here in 10 minutes. I need you over here 10 minutes." And as it was a council member, DJ Ovani says, they had something for everyone. And when I walked in to the main gym, it was kind of quiet. And I says, "Oh, okay. What's going on?" And they said, "That's quiet time for those who have autism."

Yeah. Again, I didn't have a clue. Who would think of something like that? Which definitely made sense. You're right. And then when the egg hunt came and I saw all the kids running to the back and I go over there to make a quick uh few words with supervisor Caniper, staff handed me a bucket of eggs. Yeah.

And okay, what I'm supposed to do with this? And you know, staff had already thrown a whole bunch of eggs onto the floor. And you know something about you never ask a subordinate to do something that you won't do yourself. So what do you want me to do with these? Oh, you going to throw them on the floor? I said, "Yeah, but I can't pick them up." But needless to say, all the kids when they said go and the kids there, you have to be careful as you walk because all the kids are all around you. And it was such a great event. And then moments later, oh, we got another group starting. So, oh, okay. I thought that was the end of it, but another group and then another group. Very well done. So, uh, the weather again was nice. Yeah. the car clubs there and gave a few certificates, but overall it was a good time. So, thank you again to our recreation and parks department. Um, uh, staff, I I I know your your point is coming up, but, um, I just wanted to put this out there and, uh, maybe this might be, uh, a time to consider it. Basically, I got the idea from another council member uh from another city. What we're lacking is something called agenda setting. I know some of our commissioners do it where any thoughts and ideas can be come under that title so that if we as council decide to move forward with it. No one particular council member can uh you can come up with the idea but it would take the majority of the council to say yeah we agree perhaps we should do that we should do that. I think that would ensure fairness so that no one council member can uh uh basically uh direct uh staff into uh I mean ideas are great and

I think that's how we move along but I think we all act as a uh council and if we have to call uh under agenda setting for an idea and if we need followup on it uh then uh we can basically vote on it and hopefully that will direct staff and at the same time staff can provide their input on it as well. So I think that that would be a good idea as well and that's uh uh to um council member DJani you came up with some good ideas but

uh I think we all have to agree together and come up with the pros and cons. The VLF is very very important and I was going to say as for ceremoni they have been very cooperative before in the past but I don't know under what parameters that we can post information. So I think that's something to be discussed. So it's not that I'm not listening but I do listen and I want to ensure fairness to everyone. I agree. All right. So, so with that being said, uh any other uh coun city council reports? Uh uh council member Manalo.

Thank you, Mayor. Um I I was reminded of our vote on CCAG at our last meeting. Um there was high discussion on this meeting and then the meeting previous around ebikes. Uh, Assembly Member Diane Papin is proposing some legislation at the state level, actually two. Um and it was voted on by CCAG um for a pilot program that she is recommending for the county um in regards to restrictions for age limitations on ebikes as well as I think um the speed portion of it. And so um that's that's have been voting on on CCAG. it's going to be sent over to um the state and if it does get approved given the time frame they're saying it is um hard to get bills passed during a year where it is um an electoral year.

They're just being mindful of that. But that is in the works and we'll see whether or not it um is approved by the state. If it is approved by the state, each jurisdiction um municipality has the opportunity to adopt or not adopt that pilot program. So I just um I was reminded when uh council member DGiovani mentioned that um that CCAG has um had very uh long discussions on this. though. This is on ebikes. Ebikes. Like when you send out an ebite to someone. Oh, ei bikes.

Ebite. Oh, ebikes. Okay. No, I'm trying to write. Okay. Gotcha. Gotcha. All right. That is so funny. You're like an evite. Okay. No. No. I didn't send you an invite. I'm just kidding. No. All right. Thank you. Thank you for the uh com comic relief at the bar. Thank you. I gota keep everyone going for just for a couple more minutes. All right. Any other city uh council reports? Um just reminder, we attended the uh Council of Cities uh in Milbre. You were there. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Anyway, it was a nice event. The city was very kind and um it was informative and uh they uh what was really nice was uh how they how they improved an area where uh there was a parking lot. Jessine was there and so there was a parking lot and uh where they had a BART parking lot. They worked towards creating housing for veterans and a hotel, some restaurants, and it was quite it was quite nice. So, um I just as a reminder, we were there.

Yeah. Um thank you, uh Vice Mayor. Uh that was a very traumatic event for me when I went there. Good thing I got there a half hour earlier because the building, was it the Marriott or was May? Yeah. They didn't have a a sign on the front. So I parked Oh, in the back. And I come out. I said, "Where is it?" So I get a habit of walking west. So I walk west through the whole development. I ended up coming underneath the bridge and back to the corner of um Oh no. Where the gas station is. Does that make sense?

Oh, like on the side of Arco. uh with a quick quack and the AR was but I walked all the way around and by the time I I mean I you know that's why I wasn't a happy camper that day. I just sat at the table drinking fluids, you know. But thank you for sharing your steps, huh? Your steps. What? A lot of your steps. Oh, yeah. A lot of steps. Uh I haven't walked that many steps in years. I got to bring a little humor only because I'm having fun. All right, great. All right, any other city council reports? I'm just going to add one last thing really quick. Really quick. I knew it.

Oh, no. It's cuz you reminded me of Quick Quack. Hopefully, we get a quick quack in Daily City one day. So, so when um I did go to the same convention as you, I I think hopefully a quick quack in Daily City. I mean, mayor and I share some uh we both go to Quick Quack in Milbury, but if we had a Quick Quack in Daily City, I wouldn't go to Milbury, right? I think Quick Quack and Milbury is one of the first. There's also one in South San Francisco near Candy. I tested both. Right. And then uh what's what I know I'm getting a little off subject, but when you travel throughout California, there's a quick one. I went to the one in Sacramento. It was half the price.

Wow. Oh, yeah. And some quick hacks don't even charge you for vacuum. Oh. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. We're we're going off topic. But in that respect about that development across the street, um we were able to see the new SAM Trans headquarters. So, it will no longer Yeah. be in San Carlos. It will be moved to that area. Yeah. Good point. So, that that's it. That's my last. Yeah. It'll be nice. Was quite lovely. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. That's it.

Okay. Thank you very much uh to all my colleagues for your input. Uh now I'd like to turn it over to staff for any reports. Thank you, sir. Just one thing I I think we can from the perspective of the agenda and having an agenda request section that requests can be made. So I think that's a good idea. We'll work with city attorney on that. Okay. Yeah, sounds good. I mean, I think it gives everybody a voice and uh it doesn't go on deaf ears. Thank you so much, Mr. Pigotti. Anything else? Uh come on. You You've been doing so We've covered a lot of ground tonight. I There is one thing. Yeah.

Um we're less than two hours from uh director of water and wastewater resources birthday. How about that? Hey, uh two hours. Sitting right in the center right there. Every time we wanted to take a picture tonight, we were tripping over him. I'm trying to think of a way to keep him here for another hour and 55 minutes. Oh my goodness. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Well, I I I guess I got the memo, huh? Always match somebody always, you know. So great. All right. We covered a lot of ground tonight.

Well, a lot of ground. and and thank you for staff and everything that's been happening around here at city hall. You're definitely making the place look better. So, thank you so much for that. Pretty quick here. We'll go tour the upstairs and look at the the newness up there. No, I'm going home. No, day. All right. I'll do No, I'll do whatever you say, Tom. No problem.

All right. Uh the next item is the adjournment. And I'm so sorry to report uh that on behalf of the entire city council, we would like to adjourn this meeting in honor of Phyllis Reezy who uh is recently departed. Uh does anybody have any would like to add? Uh vice mayor, please. I spoke with Norm, her husband. Um, and I had spoken with um I had spoken with Phyllis a few weeks before and uh she said she wasn't doing well. Oh.

And uh uh you know that her sister was coming um to to be with them. Uh so then I waited a bit. I wanted to give Norm some time and I I called Norm and he says, "I lost the love of my life and uh you know I we've all lost a really dear dear friend and uh you know serving with her on the North Peninsula Food Pantry and Dining Center uh board as well as uh through the DCPLA and and the library. Uh she was one who sat with Chella greeting people at at various uh DCPLA events, always positive and uh loved the city, loved uh serving the community and uh she'll be she will be missed.

Thank you.

Thank you, Vice Mayor. Anybody else? Uh Council Member Diovani. Yeah, I just want to say that in short because I know she wanted everything to be pretty private and there's not going to be her sister said any services probably if um down the road so with conversations or anything like that but I do want to say that I see Captain Brennan and the PD made sure I know I'm not shaming any publicly but they they did make a point to go by and say hello to her. um they kept tabs on her with Miss Dorothy and um they're more than just their community and how much she loved our PD and fire and that for them to take the time to see her that that was pretty incredible. it meant so much to her as well. And um as council as vice mayor shared that uh Norm did say that and when the last time then he said it's the best woman of my life and so may she rest in peace and love and and she was a pillar of our community and and uh we are so blessed for all of us that have been able to know her and love her and u may we keep her memory a blessed memory and to all those in the Bayore who have known her for 50 years. Some of them 50 60 years. That's a long time. So my heart goes out to all of them and to I know everyone got really close to her as well and to the librarian especially our beayore librarian as well. Thank you very much. So rest in peace uh Miss Phyllis.

Thank you council member uh Diovani. Let me tell him this. And then I I I forgot to mention that when I spoke to Norm, he said there will be a celebration of her life uh in the near future and he he was thinking he'd like to do it at his home. So when that comes, he promised to let us know. Sorry. That's what this the sister said, but it'll be quite a while from now. Yeah. Okay. Council member Mano, did you have something? Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Um

it's personal. It was very sad to to hear the news. Um, but Phyllis was such a a light as you mentioned and thanking her for her service. And I just remember when I got to speak with her and she said she didn't know, you know, um was she was very forthright how much time um you know, she was going to be able to go to um some of our events uh with the senior um the senior programming that we would and she and it she always just was like, I wish I could make it, but um I'm just grateful for what she's been able to give back and that um you know before she left we were able to have um some time together, one-on-one time together, uh which was just around the corner at her home. Um, and for her to also share the beautiful artwork that Norm did and um, in in her in her beautiful home and just, you know, share so many pieces of just like how she was able to move um, over here to San Francisco. Um, and I'm just glad that she was uh we were able to have that time together uh before she um left. And I'm just uh grateful to have that opportunity um to spend that time with her. And um she was always she'd always ask about the two littles. Um, and I'll never forget the time when I was walking around the beayshore, um, pregnant with Ethan, and that's when she opened up her home and was like, "Oh my goodness." You know,

it's like she was always a ray of sunshine uh, wherever she was. And so, she will indeed be missed. And deepest condolences to Norman and the family. Thank you, uh, Council Member Nalo. Uh, Dr. for anything or

um I'll just keep it short. Just want to give condolences out to um her family. Um and just also we stand on the shoulders of of giants and she was a giant for that neighborhood and you know hopefully we can build upon her legacy and and serving our not just the Bayore community but all of Daily City for me.

Wow. Uh Dr. Rod, you took uh basically what some of the words that I was going to say. Uh we can continue to go on about Miss Phyllis Reezy and and what she has done and continue to do for the community. And the first thing I thought about was legacy. And when I think of uh legacy, I think of I got along with uh Miss Rizzy and Norm Fine, but I think of the things that could have faulted me. And one thing that I find fault in is every month I would get a a email from her about the upcoming senior's base show of meeting and to not respond and say, "I got it. I can't make it." that really makes me feel bad at this time. So I I guess uh you know just be kind to others and just show common courtesy and I think that's very important like I find that Mr. Picotti is always responsive at least. Uh he'll say, "Okay, I got it." And that's all our uh people in the community needs to know. You know, they write to you and say, "Oh, okay. I got it." Just acknowledge them. And I uh I'm sorry for these circumstances that I had to bring up that point. But I think that's very important as we go through life. Okay. Mr. Picolotti.

Oh, just very brief to the chair. uh my deep deepest condolences to the family, but I also wanted to point out that she was the chair of the daily city um task force on on a aging task force and she worked closely with Leilani who's taken this really hard and and council member Manalo and others. So, I just wanted to point that out that she was steadfast in her role giving back um to the age friendly task force as the chair right up to the end. Wow, I remember that. Okay. Thank you, uh, Mr. Picolotti and thank you all. If we can all kindly please pause for a brief moment of silence for Miss Phyllis Reezy. This meeting is now adjourned. Thank you all so much and stay healthy.
