Welcome to our 04/21/2026 meeting of the City Selection Committee. Can we have I'll call the meeting to order. Can we have roll call, please?

Mayor Washington?

Here.

Mayor Mueller is excused. Mayor Doran? Here. Mayor Williams is excused. And Chair Sedgling?

Present and we do have a quorum. Item two on our agenda is approval of the minutes of the 04/15/2025 meeting.

So moved.

The motion by Director Doring.

I'll second.

Second by Director Washington. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Carries unanimously.

Our administrative item number three on your agenda, pretty straightforward. We're looking to and it's good that we have somebody here in public comment on as a vested interest in this group, appoint American Canyon Mayor Pierre Washington as the representative to and Mayor Paul Doring as alternate to the Executive Board of the Association of Bay Area Governments, also known as ABAG, for the terms commencing on 07/01/2026, to expiring in 06/30/2028. So there were some attachments on this meeting, the bylaws and the history of ABAG appointments. So this item, is there anyone has provided any input or questions? Or Mayor Washington, Mayor Dorring, Looks like you're all on board.

Yeah. We are all on board. I I have to say the last couple of years, I had a chair that was awesome. That kind of got me up to speed what was going on with the ABAC. And I just want to say thank you. I appreciate everything you've done to kind of get me up to speed. And I am more than honored to continue to stay as the representative for ABAG.

We're honored to have you represent us in the county.

Mayor Washington's attendance has been perfect, so I'm more than happy to serve in my role.

So is that in the form of a motion?

That is in the form of a motion. You may want to take public comment. I don't know. There might be some detractors out there.

Well, was gonna go general public comment, but, yeah, if you wanna speak on this one, please.

Good morning, mayors. I haven't had the opportunity to say that collectively. Belia Ramos, Napa County supervisor, and I serve as president of the Association of Bay Area Government. So fortuitous that I am here for for this appointment. And just to add what mayor Doran said, yes, mayor Washington has been fully participating at ABEG.

We appreciate his input and his participation and I think it's it's more important now than ever that we remain engaged. Reminder, Napa County is the smallest of the nine Bay Area counties And as housing policy and transportation decisions are made at that regional level at ABAC, it's more important than ever to have a seat at the table and we are well represented with the selection that you have before you today. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your service, and thank you for your comments.

Thank you. So

now we'll take a motion by Mayor Dorring, Director Dorring. And I'll second. Washington. All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Thank you much. Thank you, gentlemen. Good job, counsel. Good job, counsel. Yeah. Thanks for being here. That's a billable fifteen minutes maybe. So now general public comment. Do we have any general public comment on our selection committee? Seeing none, I don't have any reports or announcements. I don't know that there's anything else from Neha or even Anthony. Any directors?

No, sir.

All right. Well, at 09:27, we will adjourn. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir.

Thank you, Belial.
