Present. Well, I don't see anyone in the public, so at this moment, we'll go to the flag salute, and it will be led by Councilman Matucci and the invocation by Councilman Shea. Please rise and face the flag. Ready? Begin.

I pledge allegiance to the 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. Thank you.

In the name of God, the most gracious, most merciful, master of the day of judgment, you alone we worship and you alone we ask for help. Guide us along the path of those you have blessed, not those you are disbelieved with or those who are astray. O God, we come before you with humility and a shared purpose to serve our community with honesty, compassion, and integrity. In times when words may divide or misunderstandings arise, guide us toward truth and clarity. Grant us the strength to stand firm in what is right, the wisdom to respond with grace, and the patience to let truth prevail over falsehood.

Amen. Thank you both. For those in the public who's actually watching this remotely, tonight's meeting is only closed session, so shortly after this. Next item is oral communication, since I don't see any. And then now we will recess to closed session to confer with city manager and city attorney on agenda matters listed under 4A. Real Property, Conference with Real Property Negotiator. 4B, Conference with Legal Counsel, Existing Litigation. And 4C, Conference with Labor Negotiator. A closed session on these matters is authorized by California Government Code Sections 54956.8, 54956.9D1, 54957.6. We'll return after closed session. Thank you.

Mayor, we are live.

Good evening. It's 7.09 p.m. We have been in closed session. City Manager, do we have any actions to report out?

Good evening, Your Honor. No actions to report. Thank you.

Great. All right. Adjourned tonight's meeting. Go Team USA.

USA, USA. I move that we adjourn tonight's city council meeting to Tuesday, June 23rd, 2026 at 5 p.m. for closed session with regular business commencing at 6.30 p.m. in the Leroy J. Jackson Council Chamber.

I second that. Start voting, please. Your Honor, that motion carries with Council Member Mattucci absent and Council Member Schaik voting no.

All right. Good night, everyone. We'll see you next week.
