“Well, you're saying what I've been saying for over a year on that committee, is that there's not been nearly enough direct report out to the public, and it starts with this council. I gave my word to everybody that we would have a follow-up conversation on reform at this council this fall, and I do still fully support making that happen. So my suggestion, I don't know that we have a motion on this item. I certainly don't support discontinuing the reports to council. I'm tempted, unless someone does have a motion they want to make, to just... PAUSE THIS DISCUSSION AND WE'LL BRING BACK A…”

“Thanks. You already kind of answered my question, so I'm going to jump in and then we'll go to the vice mayor. I was going to say something similar, which is really, you know, I think in Vallejo we have this tendency to make plans and update plans and never really get anything out of them. And I would hate to... I don't wanna not do the work. When I first saw this, I'm not gonna lie, I really had a reaction to the price tag. I appreciate that it's grant funded. We'll be expecting something quite robust for this amount of money, but I would hate to have to wait two to three years to start…”

“And this grant was awarded three years ago. So it just took three years to get from the grant to this and then another three. So as long as it's all compatible and we can still move, I appreciate your response.”

“All right, thank you all again, and thank you for staying with us into the evening. We have two more action items that will be quick. We can try to get through them. We also have five pulled consent items, three of which absolutely have to be adopted tonight. IF COUNCIL MEMBERS MATIAS AND MATULIK HAVE THEIR MEASURE P APPOINTMENTS, WE CAN JUST KNOCK THOSE OUT RIGHT NOW. SO WHY DON'T WE JUST TRY TO KNOCK OUT BOTH OF THESE ITEMS. SO LET'S GO AHEAD TO ACTION CALENDAR, ACTION ITEM 9B. I'LL ASK OUR CLERK TO ANNOUNCE 9B.”

“All right, and this came at the request of council at the last meeting, so I think it's fairly straightforward. It's one line X'd out in the ordinance. City Attorney Nebb, did you have something to, did you have a presentation or something to share on the item?”
