“Okay, thank you. Okay, and before I go to Vice Mayor, I would say thank you, David and Michelle, for your comments. It brought up some things that made me think about enforcement can be unequal. And, you know, is it, you know, with a minority majority city, we don't want to unknowingly target our black and brown community, but you can't tell when somebody's got a ski mask on, I'll put it, I'll put it like that. But officers still need a legal, you know, a legal precedence, not precedence, a legal justification in order to stop somebody as it is, because wearing a ski mask in and of itself is…”

“Okay, so I'd like to make a comment off that, just letting the people know that this is an RFP process. The city puts it out to bid to any and everybody, and they can submit, there's a deadline for it, and there's actually criteria that you have to meet in order to be eligible. A selection committee comprised of public work staff evaluated and ranked all proposals based on each firm's experience with similar kinds of work, quality work, equipment, and cost. This is a process that has been long standing for, I would say, decades. And the bids are all sealed. You don't know who applied. They…”

“Yeah, because at the State of the City, we talked about the tonnage, about how much was picked up. But knowing each month, is there a particular month where there's more than another month? And I do believe those hotspots, we need to have cameras, we need to have eyes on it, we need to be fully prosecuting, going after the people that are doing this illegal dumping. They could take it out to the dump and pay their $35 or whatnot, or we can fine them $10,000, which would you rather have?”

“And I will echo Councilmember Enriquez you know having staggered a service because I know this last year we did have people going out on weekends but if they're just going out Monday through Thursday with every other Friday off or Monday through Friday. come Monday, they're going to have a whole lot to pick up because Saturday and Sunday nobody was out there. But hopefully we'll be able to deter that so it won't continue to happen at the level it is because we're talking about millions of pounds of trash that are picked up off of our streets. And it's wrong.”

“Okay, no unfinished business. Moving on to public hearing. 9.1, adopt a resolution for the formation of the Five Mile Slough Assessment District. Approve an engineered report and authorize a levy of the proposed assessment. District 3, I need to recuse myself so I won't even open the public hearing. And I have to recuse myself because I own a piece of property that resides on that”

“And piggybacking off of that, 34 years, it's been 34 years since there was a rate increase. And so if pipes get backed up, if there is flooding that happens, just know our staff is doing everything they can, but we cannot update our infrastructure if we don't have the funds to do so. But everybody, this is United States of America, everybody's entitled to their vote. And obviously the public has spoken. Council Member Villapudua.”

“And I would say it doesn't necessarily come down to education. When I did my town hall, we had a conversation about low voter turnout. I mean, how many ballots were sent out? We got 11,444 back, but how many did we put out? Did we send out 100,000? 85,000. 85,000. So actually we had more people vote than we, I think the percentage was higher for voters than we did for people returning this ballot. So it is, you know, we used to have a very active well, newspaper, we did, very active newspaper. I was a subscription holder for the record for many years. That was a way that you could get…”

“So I have a question. So it was brought up earlier. Of course, we have vacancies. Some vacancies fall under the civil service, you know, criteria, and some don't. So people have talked to me about code enforcement and those officers. They have to go through this similar process, correct? Yes.”
