City Council - Regular Meeting

Good evening, and welcome to this, the April 13 meeting, the Livermore City Council. I called the meeting to order. Roll call, please.

Council member Barry Antos? Here. Council member Branning? Here. Council member Dunbar? Here. Vice mayor Wong? Here. Mayor Mershon?

Here. Could you please join me in the pledge of allegiance? I pledge allegiance to flag of The United States Of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay. We just came out of the closed session. Asked the city attorney, was there any reportable action taken during the closed session?

Yes. Kim Sealy, city attorney. There was no reportable action on either item.

Okay. Very good. Thank you very much. Moving on to, proclamations and presentations. We have, National Crime Victims' Rights Week, April 19 to the twenty fifth.

And whereas more than twenty six million people across the nation become victims of crime each year. And these crimes also affect family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. And the Alameda County district attorney, DA's victim witness division is dedicated to ensuring the rights of crime victims and their families by providing services to aid in their recovery from the emotional, psychological, social, and economic impact of crime as they reclaim their sense of safety, well-being, and dignity. Whereas Alameda County DA's Office of Victim Crime Witness Assistance Division partners with survivors, community service providers, criminal justice professionals, and victim advocates to enhance a criminal justice system response that is accessible, culturally competent, and appropriate for all victims of crime. And whereas the DA's victim witness assistance division has been a leader in outreach and services to underserved populations and has been bridging the gap between law enforcement and the community and has been building the community's trust in the criminal justice system.

And whereas National Crime Victims' Rights Week, April the twenty fifth twenty twenty six, provides an opportunity to acknowledge the energy, creativity, and commitment of advocates for victims' rights. Now, therefore, the city council of the city of Livermore proclaims April the twenty fifth twenty twenty six as Victims' Rights Week in the city of Livermore and reaffirms the commitment to respect and enforce victims' rights. And we have, Natalie Hernandez, I believe the the senior advocate is here.

Good evening, mayor, council members, city staff, and members of the public. My name is Natalie Hernandez, and I serve as a senior victim advocate with the Alameda County District Attorney's Office Victim Witness Assistance Division. I'm honored to be here this evening on behalf of district attorney Ursula Jones Dixon, who has served as Alameda County's district attorney since her appointment by the board of supervisors on 02/18/2025 to accept this proclamation recognizing National Crime Victims' Rights Week. Our victim witness advocates work closely with crime victims and their families as they move through the legal process. We help survivors understand their rights, keep them updated on their cases, prepare for court, and provide support during some of the hardest moments they may ever face, including while testifying.

Our advocates also help survivors complete and submit California Victim Compensation Board or CalVCB applications so they can access important support for counseling, medical expenses, lost wages, relocation, and other crime related needs. In 2025, our office helps survivors secure more than 2,000,000 in CalVCB support. Behind every CalVCB application is a person or family seeking stability, healing, and a path forward. This is why the work of our victim witness advocates matter so deeply alongside the care and support offered through the Family Justice Center and the Trauma Recovery Center. Together, these resources help survivors find support, begin healing, and move forward without having to face the aftermath of crime alone.

National Crime Victims' Rights Week is an opportunity to recognize the resilience of survivors and to reaffirm our shared commitment to standing with them every step of the way. This proclamation is a meaningful reminder of our shared commitment to survivors. It also reflects district attorney Jones Dixon's belief that victims and witnesses of crime deserve to be heard, supported, and treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. Thank you for standing alongside district attorney Jones Dixon, survivor of crime and their families, and for recognizing the importance National Crime Victims' Rights Week.

Thank you. Okay. With that, we're moving into the open forum. City clerk will please tell people how they can participate.

To provide comment, please fill out and turn in a speaker card found at the entrance of the council chamber. Speakers will be announced in the order received. Once public comment opens, each participant's name will be announced, and their three minutes will begin once at the lectern. Please note, a speaker is not required to answer any questions from the city council, and the city council is not required to answer questions from the public. However, the mayor has the discretion to ask staff to address the speaker's comments when a council member believes it is relevant to a particular business item.

The mayor will announce the conclusion of the public comment period after comments have been voiced into the record. Mayor, we have two speakers for open forum. Excuse me. We have three speakers for open forum. We

hear four. Our

first speaker is Joe Lee.

So this is continued effort to, encourage City of Livermore to adopt more free software in its workflow, to replace proprietary software. So my objective is, with the objective of high public visibility and low impact on city workers while offering benefits to the public. I propose as a pilot program the installation of GNU slash Linux on a fraction of the computers at the Livermore Public Library. This pilot program would come at no cost to the city. The operating system would be installed on six of the 30 computers available to the public at the Civic Center branch of the Livermore Public Library.

As a volunteer, I would provide support and training to city to the library and city staff. I would also make myself available to support and train library patrons. My vacation hours at work are reaching my cap, so I need to take vacation anyway. The full GNU slash Linux installation takes less than fifteen minutes on a typical computer with an eighth gen Intel CPU, which is what I found at the library, and a solid state storage device. I've already reproduced the functionality and appearance of the library computers on one of my my own computers, and it is ready to be to be deployed.

Installing it on six computers would take me about an hour and a half. Once installed, I propose allowing the pilot program on these six computers to continue for a full year with periodic volunteer voluntary reviews of the GNU slash Linux systems in comparison to the Windows systems. If this were to go beyond a pilot, the cost of implementation and ongoing operational maintain maintenance costs would be no more than the cost of maintaining the systems now. And I say this because I intend to make myself available as an unpaid volunteer at zero cost to the city to train anyone who wishes to learn. In my experience, GNU slash Linux is quicker and simpler to deploy than Windows.

Once at least one person on the IT staff at at Citi has learned, they will be able to lead and teach others with relative ease compared to Windows. If this gets extended to all computers in the city, I hope the potential cost post pilot would and financial benefits of the city include the elimination of the perpetual renewal of subscription fees for Microsoft Office three six five, for example. And, I regret that I hadn't started this five years ago. Otherwise, we could have saved, the city 1,500,000.0 this year. Operational benefits include the elimination of data leak through Microsoft's Copilot disservice.

LibreOffice does not force, quote, AI, unquote, onto users. There will also be additional security benefits due to the continuous scrutiny, which code receives from users, with event vested interest in keeping the program secure for themselves. Free software tends to be a lot more secure than proprietary software. The users sorry. Users with vested interest include, well, a bunch of governments. Denmark, northernmost state of Germany, Schleswig Holstein, and just recently France, so that last week.

Our next speaker is David McGuigan.

The unfortunate truth that people at Livermore are going to have to come to grips with is that you, Johnny the rapist marshal aunt, have sat there in your official capacity as mayor and deliberately lied to cover up crimes committed by the Livermore police. You sat there and loudly proclaimed that Livermore has an exemplary police force, fully aware that you participated in the cover up of rape committed by a Livermore police officer. Tell us, Johnny, the rapist Marshawn, how many other exemplary police departments do you know that go around raping citizens when they've sworn to protect? And knowing that police departments are just like small towns where everybody knows everything about everybody else, how corrupt does a police department have to become to welcome rapists wearing badges and guns? No, Johnny, the rapist marchant.

The only thing exemplary about the Lidmore police is just how much of a bad example they are. The thing is, Johnny, rapist monastery, when you had when you were told you had a rapist police officer who was arrested for sexually exploiting a teenage girl, you could have done the right thing. You could have asked, why was this man still in uniform? Who's responsible? And why are they still in re uniform?

But you instead thought it might look bad for a little more police to if the people knew the little more police were harboring rapists and directed mister Ocala, your attorney at the time, to cover it up because that's the kind of guy you are. Now let's be really clear about something, Johnny, the rapist Marshawn. The fact that the Linnmore Police will be harbors rapists in its rank doesn't look bad. It is bad. And since you promoted captain rapist groomer to the police chief, there's no reason for the people people to expect anything to change, which is all the more reason that you, Johnny the rapist marshal, deserve to be personally held accountable.

Of course, now that you are getting political heat for your willful choice to cover up rape, you fired mister Callow for doing what you asked because that's the kind of guy that you are. Now I have no doubt when I'm finished speaking, you will use your bully pulpit to try to disparage me, but people are going to eventually realize two things. First, nothing I've said tonight has anything to do with me, so your choosing to disparage me will be seen as this eventually seen for the distraction that it is. Then people will realize that while you have used every large caliber ammunition you can get your hands on to shoot the messenger, you have not disputed the message because you cannot dispute the message because it's true. And when people come to realize, and they will, that you would literally use the power of the mayor's office to help a rapist Livermore police officer escape justice, then everybody will be calling you Johnny the rapist, Marshawn.

Other maybe some who opt for the more concise Johnny rape. It's just kind of sickening to see you honor crime victims when you've helped your police rape your citizens.

It's interesting, mister McGuigan. I finally figured out your pattern. Your son-in-law keeps wanting to be appointed by this council to the various appointments in the city. And when those appointments are up, you disappear. And then all of a sudden, when that window goes away, that's when you come back. Since it's about getting your son-in-law appointed to a city position. Next speaker, please. No. No. Thank you very much. Had your you've had your time. Great. And You've had your

good, Johnny.

You're gone. You're gone. Next speaker, please.

The next speaker is Connie Cox.

That's a tough act to follow.

I'm okay. You're okay. Right? Okay. This is a whole new thing. I'm asking for, a little guidance, a little help. In January, January 6, I sent a letter to my president, my governor, and my congressman. And, it was, my letters, of course, are, you know, what I've been promoting since 2004. My my little way that I can I have proposed to offset, costs, and it involves some intellectual property that I'm kinda hoping to license? And I did get a letter back from our president.

I didn't get a letter back from our governor, and I'm not sure what's gonna happen due to our congressman having some trouble right now. So, I'm not sure if you have any direction on, you know, who's taking over our congress. I know Ro Khanna is kind of a neighboring congressman, and my want is to, you know, present to congress, this idea. And so if you have any direction or guidance, I would really appreciate it. And then my other thought is our last or our first speaker, Joe Lee, I don't know a lot about computers, but I know, like, when I was trying to do this, my proposals in 2000 I think it was 2009.

My computer got hacked the same time that Washington DC's computers got hacked. And it's weird because Silicon Valley has big names, and they have big powers that I don't really have. And I think that if you do consider the computer programs that Jolie is presenting, that maybe people like me could have a little bit more level of a playing field when it comes to things that can happen online and over the computer. And I don't know. My suggestion is I'm going to forward my letter to Rokana, but my thinking is that because I'm not a constituent of his, I'll get that to bounce back.

So I'm asking maybe for you to heads up him. I know you've seen my proposals. And if you could heads him up that I'm really interested in in being taken seriously with this, and I hope you will really consider Jolie's proposals. I hear him on TV talking about ways to make the playing field a little bit more level. And I don't know a lot about security, but think about it and have a great night.

Thank you. That our speaker?

That concludes public comment. Open forum.

Okay. Thank you very much. I will close the open forum and bring it back to the council on consent calendar. Do we have any items that any member of the council wishes to pull for comment? Do we have any public comment on consent calendar?

Yes. We have two speakers for

Yes. Six point two and six point four. Okay. And we have two speakers on

We have two speakers. One speaker on six on item six point two and one I one speaker on item 6.6.

Okay. Very good. Let's we will have oh, let's go ahead. We'll take the comments. I'll open the public forum on the six point two and four.

We're pulling items 6.262.

Go ahead and take those two items. Two items first. Okay. So that's the airport innovation center. And

Our first speaker is Carol Silva for item 6.2.

And mayor. This is a letter that Donna Caban wrote, and I also second it. So I'm gonna read her letter in the places where she's got I. I'll just put Donna and me or Donna and I. Donna and I urge you to postpone funding the designs for an airport innovation center at LVK.

Staff supports an agreement transferring over 800 k from airport operating funds to renovate an existing airport building into an innovation hub. Some of the re sorry. Some of the Remodeling could include public plumbing upgrades, roof repairs, etcetera. While these improvements may provide additional safety measures for those who use the airport, safety for the community beyond airport buildings are important. The city council could and should support greater airport safety by directing the fixed base operator, Peter Sandhu, to offer GAMI 100 UL for piston engine aircraft.

Offering unleaded fuel such as GAMI 100 UL will reduce air pollution during takeoff runways from piston engine aircraft, which make up 70% of the aircraft housed at LVK. Offering GAMI 100 UL could also improve the health of airport employees. Furthermore, the majority of funds requested, 622 k, will be used to develop designs for the airport innovation center project. The request for funding designs at this time is problematic. Before spending over 600 k on designs for future airport centers, would it be wiser to wait until the additional PFAS testing required by the water board is finished.

Let's work to upgrade the safety of the airport for its users and the community by starting with the addition of GAMI UL 100 for piston engine aircraft. Let's pause spending money for designs on future airport innovation centers until the waterboard testing is completed. I ask you to table funding for the airport innovation center designs at this juncture. Thank you.

Thank you.

Next speaker? 6.4.

Our next speaker will be for item 6.6.

Oh, 6.6.

Alan Marling.

Mayor and council, I believe that 6.6 is concerning emergency supplies and winter shelter for the homeless. Not only do we have a moral imperative to help those less fortunate than ourselves, but doing so creates a better and safer community for all. I am happy to see money spent helping the homeless much more so than spending money on surveilling and persecuting them. In other cities where I've lived, tens of thousands of dollars was wasted pushing around the homeless, breaking up encampments, and attempting to sweep them out of sight and further into the margins of society, making their lives less secure and less comfortable, which is cruel and also foolish. Other speakers in the past have commented that Livermore previously has taken away tents in other shelters from the homeless.

That indicates a failure of policy. The more desperate you make people, the more likely they are going to resort to crime. Instead of housing the homeless in jails, it is cheaper and more humane to give them a warm meal and a few nights in a hotel. Rather than forcing people into positions where they see no good alternatives, better to treat them with dignity. Livermore is one community, and should we wrongly try to deny the existence of those who have fallen on hard times, the harder it will become for all. Thank you.

We have no other speaker public comment speakers.

Public comment period on this. And now council member, you wanted to talk about the six point two and six point four? Yeah. Okay. One of the things one of the the points that that I'm excited about with the airport innovation center is that as that is developed, we can actually achieve the very things that we heard talked about tonight, quiet electric vehicles, the the EV tolls, the electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, which which are ultimately quiet, and and don't use don't use fuel, gasoline.

So I think that as we move ahead with the innovation center, we'll actually achieve the very things that the speaker wanted tonight. Well, that's fine. I want Yeah. Part.

Yeah. Thank you. I'd be happy

to Cardwell, would you like to speak to that?

Absolutely. Thank you, mayor and and city council. I'm Brandon Cardwell. I'm your director of innovation and economic development. You're exactly right, mayor.

The innovation center is proposed in an approximately 18,000 square foot existing city owned building. So it'll be a tenant improvement project as opposed to a ground up development project. So it's an existing building that is running roughly 50 years old, and the intent here with the item tonight is to fund the design components so we'll be able to move forward with the renovation of that project. And, ultimately, what we wanna have in this facility is a research and development space for emerging companies in spaces like advanced air mobility, as you described, Meyer, focused on cleaner aviation, potentially cleaner synthetic fuels, but also advanced manufacturing, fusion energy in the supply chain, all the areas where Livermore has some existing advantages because of the presence of the two national labs and the long history of the innovation economy here. So this is, as you may recall, one part of the four part airport development strategy that the council saw after we completed that project.

And so along with, with the other three components around hangars, the public safety complex, and EV toll, AAM advanced air mobility components, this is one of the projects that we are pursuing. Very good. Happy to answer any specific questions about that or provide any additional context.

And 6.4?

Yeah.

You you had some comments on 6.4? The the public understand what's going on with these two things. Oh, okay. I do have a comment on 6.4, and that would be that's there's landscaping that's proposed for that as well. And we have, as a city, adopted the the monarch pledge. So I just wanna ensure that as that landscaping is going in for the Atlanta Center, that they would include pollinators for for things like like the monarch butterfly.

Thank you, mayor. Paul Spence, your assistant city manager. And, yes, we have requirements landscape requirements for that project consistent with the council's direction requiring that they include pollinators, some of which would benefit the monarch butterfly. Okay. And if you'd like, I can provide a short summary of that item.

If you if you wish. Yeah. Do okay. I think customers are very interested like that.

So this is for a final map and a subdivision improvement agreement for a portion of the Oaks Business Park at the southern end next to Atlantis Court. It's for the development of two industrial buildings within that business park, consistent with the other types of businesses that are there. The project will, allow for public improvements as part of the subdivision improvement agreement, including public sidewalks, sewer, water, storm drain facilities. And some of those are deferred until the project is complete and then will be accepted at a later date, And that is our standard practice. This is a relatively straightforward final map and subdivision improvement agreement.

Very good. Any further questions, councilmember? No. Okay. Councilmember Dunbar.

Mister Cardwell, could you come back, please?

Start. Just

to confirm that, that building that's there next to the airport that we're discussing is is currently leased out or was previously leased out to local businesses or other folks. Is that correct?

That's correct. It was. Yes. Yeah. The the building is vacant now.

And so even potentially without maybe there are pieces of the innovation center that are not fully fleshed out yet, but the the improvements that we're making to this would be required even if we wanted to lease it back out again. That's absolutely right.

The the building was actually in in quite a state of disrepair and in need of a number of improvements, which will all occur as part of the renovation project.

Thank you. And then beyond that, we continue to work on the PFAS issue with the waterboards. We have followed up with them regularly.

That's correct. Yeah. Yes.

Thank you.

One question I have on 06/2009 with the the the military what what is called military equipment. We had a public meeting on that recently. Do you happen to know how many people showed up for that?

Mister mayor, we will have our police department respond to your questions, but this particular question, one person showed up at a public meeting.

Okay. Alright. That yeah. Thank you. I think that it's remarkable that well, it's not remarkable. I think it's goes without saying that we use this very carefully, very judiciously. The it's called military equipment, so it sounds really scary. But I personally want our police top police department to have all the equipment that they need when they need it, and it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. So I certainly appreciate that and the fact that there has have have been no complaints over the use of this equipment. And I wanted to highlight one thing that's in the policies.

Equipment policy seven zero nine will safeguard the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties. That's what we use this for. So, again, has it's my absolute 100% support to continue to use this equipment to protect the residents here in Livermore. So thank you very much for the judicious use of the of that equipment. Any further comments? I'll entertain a motion. Oh. I

just wanted to highlight in 6.6, the staff report that speaks to over the past three winter seasons, the shelter relief program has provided 227 overnight hotel stays, 60 participants gained permanent housing, 10 secured housing vouchers, and all 170 restored vital documents, and we're document ready for housing. That is an incredible accomplishment, and three more years of it is gonna be great for our community.

And greatly needed.

Yes.

And the the we're stepping up to do it. Thank you. There are no more comments. I'll entertain a motion for the consent calendar.

I'll move approval of the consent.

Okay. Councilmember Dunbar makes the motion, seconded by councilmember Barrientos. Any discussion on the motion? All in favor, signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? It passed unanimously. Thank you very much. There's no public hearings tonight. So we go right into matters for consideration 8.1. This is to introduce an ordinance and waive the first reading, amending the compensation limits for the mayor and city council members.

Honorable mayor, members of the city council, this is your city manager, Mariana Birch. Item 8.1 is going to be presented by deputy city manager Stephanie. Thank you.

Good evening, honorable mayor and city council. I'm Stephanie Agidio, deputy city manager. I'll be presenting item 8.1 regarding city council compensation. This item is to consider an ordinance amendment consistent with measure w. In 2014, Livermore voters approved measure w, which established local limits on council compensation.

These limits are more restrict more restrictive than state law. Measure w only allows one adjustment per election cycle and does not allow multiyear increases. The most recent adjustment occurred in October 2024 and took effect in December 2024. Staff evaluated allowable increase using the consumer price index. CPI increased by approximately 5.2% since the last adjustment.

However, Measure W caps any increase at 5%, so that is the maximum allowable. If approved, the increase would take effect this December after newly elected council is sworn in. An ordinance amendment is required to implement this adjustment. This slide shows current compensation, the state law maximum, and the proposed adjustment. Currently, council members receive $1,123.50 per month, and the mayor receives $1,564.50.

With a 5% increase, council members would receive $1,179 and $68 and the mayor $1,642.73 For context, state law would allow compensation of approximately $1,900 per month plus CPI adjustments. Even with this increase, Livermore remains well below the state maximum. Staff recommends the city council introduce the ordinance and waive the first reading. The ordinance would amend municipal code section two point zero four point zero three zero. This action ensures that compensation adjustment is consistent with measure w. Thank you, and staff is available for any questions.

Great. Thank you very much. Any questions for the staff? Do we have any speakers?

Yes, mayor. We have one speaker, Alan Marlin.

Mayor and council members, obviously, we need some manner of limit as it wouldn't do for elected officials to give themselves all the money, but neither should the value be so low that only the rich can afford to run for office. My understanding is that having a reasonable stipend can promote diversity in leadership, and it seems like Measure w is a real pain in the ass. Thank you.

Any of the speakers?

No additional speakers.

Okay. I'm going to close the public comment period, bring it back to the council. For comparison, I think, yeah, that none of us are up here for the money. Good heavens. We we love this community, and that's that's why we're here.

As a comparison, the mayor of of Hayward, my city the city I used to live in, their mayor makes $67,000 a year. Their council members make $42,000 a year. Again, as a comparison to Oakland, their mayor is $227,000 a year, and their council members make a 108,000. So we're here because we love this community, and and that's why we serve. So thank you for all of your service and that recognizing that this is why we do what we do. Any comments on 8.1? Yes. Councilman Dunbar.

Yeah. As as noted by staff, the increase is actually lower than the CPI was over the last two years, and that can be a little bit frustrating because we want to reduce the barriers for people who, as mister Marling said, are not rich and need a little bit maybe even just this stipend to have childcare while they're maybe up on this dais can go a long way. So I'm thankful for the many people over the years who have come to this service for the small amount of pay that it provides. Nobody does it for the pay. Right. And this is for the next leader in front of us that comes in that needs that little bit to make childcare or do the small things that they can't keep up with.

And just to point out again that that we are not voting on a raise for ourselves. This is for the incoming council. Now some of us, we may still be here, but this we're not we can't vote on the race for ourselves. This is for the next council to be seated. And this we put this in the hands of the voters. So this is not something that we can change here because we put this this into the hands of the voters so that they could decide. So with that, if there's any further comment or if there's no further comment, I'll entertain a motion.

I'll move approval.

Motion made by council member Dunbar, seconded by council member Branning. Any discussion on the motion? All in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? It passed unanimously. Thank you very much. With that, we have matters initiated and council reports. Councilmember Dunbar.

I'll just highlight that I had a fabulous time interviewing subcommittee candidates with vice mayor Wong to come back in the near future, but we spent more than an hour talking about which ones to appoint in the end. And very thankful for the remarkable people that come and volunteer to spend their time for our community.

Customer Brandon.

Yeah. Thank you. It's been a busy couple of weeks. A lot of really great events. One I would like to highlight is on Saturday, I was at Sunflower Hill for their spring planting, joined by mayor Marshand and senator Wahhab. It was a great event, a lot of fun, meeting with the staff, and, just really supporting a amazing program. If you have not been out to Hageman Ranch to see, the Sunflower Hill program there, please take the time. Go out. If that's a program you would like to support, I'm also going to be serving on Thursday or Tuesday, tomorrow. Gonna be serving at SideTrak, for a fundraiser they're doing there.

So,

if you would like to support Sunflower Hill, that's an opportunity for you.

Alright. Thank you.

Because we're very close. I've been out of the country for the last two weeks. So Oh. While I report jet lagged. Vice mayor. I

just wanna cup highlight a couple of events quickly. One is the Innovation Tri Valley Leadership Group's Energy Unleashed Conference, which was fantastic, and Brandon Cardwell was a big part of that. And mayor Marshawn spoke, and councilmember Dunbar was on the panel. It it was just really great. I loved seeing all of my colleagues up there and learned a lot.

And then also the one of the best, most heartwarming events every year is the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department Academy graduation and badge pinning and the service awards. It's so great, and it's it's so great to see everyone's families up there. And our new fire chief also was recognized, and so it was a great event.

Again, I also attended a women in business symposium that was put on by the chamber. Again, very excited to see what the businesses are doing in our community. Also, as was mentioned, energy unleashed. What an exciting program. We had experts in the field, people from Inertia, people from North Submarine National Laboratory.

Again, mister Cardwell was one of the moderators for a fascinating discussion with one of the founders of Inertia. And, again, the as mister Branning pointed out, the celebration and workday out at Sunflower Hill. I met my adopted chicken. My adopted chicken is named Annie Yokely. And so I had a chance to meet with her.

And the the grounds are absolutely beautiful. We, there were have been significant contributions, by the city, and it's, of course, being maintained by the, Live More Heritage Guild. But I received this from the people that work there. Thank you to the city of Livermore, and they drew sunflowers on the poster. So, thanks to all of the work that, people of all abilities do at that facility.

Thank you for the support from the community. Thank you to Sunflower Hill. And with that, there being no further business coming before the council, meeting is adjourned. Isn't that great?
