“Yes, ma'am. I have a motion to approve by Vice Mayor Puig Corbett, second by Councilman Pineda. All in favor say aye. Aye. Show the consent agenda passed. I now need a motion on the minutes. Nope, no minutes on this one, ma'am. Oh, that's right, there's no minutes on this one.”
“Okay, we'll move on into the discussion items.”
“Thank you, Councilman. Any comments? Okay, need a motion.”
“Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Puig Corbett, second by Councilman Pinedo. If there's no other comments. Just a quick comment.”
“Thank you, Councilman. I just want to make a brief comment. I think this is excellent. Just this morning, I got a text from a parent who was very startled because someone went right in front of them and they almost hit them. So I think that there absolutely has to be some more reinforcement. So I think that this is a great resolution to extend to the state and through our lobbyists to hopefully see some improvements to the legislation. So I think it's absolutely appropriate. Thank you very much, Madam Clerk.”
“So, anyone else? So I actually, and I wanna thank Councilman Pinedo for being on top of this and bringing it up again. We've been there quite a bit and I've talked to many of the residents there and that same issue was expressed, that it's not just the people who live there, but rather the property owners. So there is a process for making sure we get to them. But I think that for a long time, this area has been a huge concern. And while there may be other areas in the city, that may have similar problems. I don't think any is as exacerbated as this one. So I think it's time for us to move…”
“Yeah, I have a concern with this. I know that when the original ordinance that was discussed a couple months ago was passed, there was some confusion on the hours. I WANT TO KNOW IF THAT WAS CLARIFIED ON THE ORDINANCE. DID WE GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE MINUTE? RIGHT NOW IT'S LAST CALL 2.30 BUT THEY CAN STAY OPEN UNTIL 3.30. OKAY. I HAVE MY RESERVATIONS ABOUT THIS. SO MY QUESTION TO LORENZO, CAN WE TAKE UP THE ITEMS ALL TOGETHER OR SHOULD WE TAKE THEM ALL ONE BY ONE? I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT AND I WANT TO”
“And we can vote on all of them together or do you want us to take them up individually?”
“Okay, all right. I'll just make my comments for all of them. I personally have an issue with this. I think the way the ordinance was passed and the way it was passed has to be fixed. And so I won't be supportive of the extended hours at this time, but. There's a motion to approve.”
“Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Puig Corbett. Second by Councilman Cabral for item I. Adam Clerk.”
“Next item. No. No. We have to take them up individually. He said. Sorry.”
“Okay, I incorporate the same comments from item I into this item. Is there a motion?”
“Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Puig Corbett, second by Councilwoman Cabral. Madam Clerk.”
“Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Puig Corbett. Second by Councilman Cabral.”
“Okay, I incorporate my same comments from Item I into this as well. Is there a motion?”
“Motion to approve by Vice Mayor Puig-Corvey. Second. Second by Councilwoman Cabral.”
“Motion to approve. Motion to approve by Councilman, I mean Councilman Porras. Second. Second by Councilman Pinero. Madam Clerk, please call the roll.”
“Okay, I wanna let Councilman know he can come back in. Mayor's report. Okay. Thank you very much. All right, so this is our second meeting in October. I just want to remind everyone to please stay involved. Make sure you sign the petition that's online for the removal of the waste to energy facility. And we will be staying up to date on whether the November 6th meeting at the VCC commission meeting will happen. And we invite everyone to join us for that. I want to encourage people to go out and vote, to have your voices heard. Early voting is taking place now. I want to congratulate the new…”
“All right. We'll move on now to council comments. Yep, we started already, but it's okay.”

“Okay, thank you. Is that all? Yes? That's it. Okay.”
“Okay, that's it. We need... We need to recess the meeting. Is there anything else?”
