City Council - Special Meeting

All right, we're going to go ahead and call to order special meeting of the Vallejo City Council at 5.07 p.m. And before we conduct a roll call, we do have a council member participating remotely, so we want to make sure we announce that in accordance with the Brown Act. All right, so Council Member Matias, would you please announce your Brown Act provision? Council Member Matias, we're going to announce your Brown Act provision if you can unmute yourself and clarify your just cause reason.

Attending the meeting virtually because I have to care for a family member.

Thank you. And that is included in the just cause provision of the Brown Act for remote participation. With that, I'll go ahead and ask our clerk to conduct the roll call.
