“All right. Well, I know we have a huge turnout from the Country Club Crest and broader North Loyola community today. Thank you all so much for joining us, for your advocacy, for putting this forward. When the request first came through, the vice mayor who represents that district and I both gave it the stamp to move forward. We're glad it's finally before the whole council. And my understanding is that we've got quite a few people signed up for public comment.”

“All right. So I'll say two things really quickly before we'll move to comments from council, and then we'll take our vote. I thought a little bit. We talked to some people about this leading up to it, but had thought a little bit before today about the significance of this, because it is hugely significant for Vallejo. But I think... I don't think we need to explain that because I think the people that showed up, the words that were shared, the comments that were shared, I think that pretty much just embodies how significant this is. And somebody said Mac Dre was Vallejo or Mac Dre is…”

“All right, I'm going to, because I'm seeing some second round lights, I'm going to make a few comments and a suggestion and remind us that it is 1030 and we have three more action items and five pulled consent items. So we're going to have to start making some decisions about going faster. With respect to this particular item of the updates, I am very much not in favor of discontinuing the updates to city council. This is the place where the decisions get made. This is the only body of all of the bodies that are receiving updates from PDE that actually has the authority to set policy and make…”
