“Yeah, I think there was a, you know, it was interesting how some of us decided to step up and volunteer to do the Inspector General Committee. Well, I see we have Council Member Robillard on the board, so Council Member Wright, I don't know if you had any suggestions or recommendations, and then we can go to Council Member Falcone.”

“I won't lie. I figured I wouldn't be considered for this given my term ends soon. But no, I think that's great. Thank you for the recommendations. We'll move to Council Member Falcone and potentially Council Member, okay.”

“Great. And just, I guess my only two sentences, I feel, you know, we were able to serve on an ad hoc committee with the Inspector General, and sometimes it's helpful and necessary to be able to work through some issues. And I really actually love the breakup of east side, mid, and midtown, and then the west side of representation across the city. But again, unless there's other interest from some council members, you know, that may want to be a part of this, we can open that up. Or if there's anyone who wants to make a recommendation, yeah. I will say I would have interest in serving, but…”

“Thank you. Yes, just want to say thank you to Professor for being here today and for your hard work and contribution to our community and echoing the same to the entire board, Latino Network, as well as to Spanish on Heritage Foundation.

“There we go. Sorry, I wasn't turning on. Thank you. Yes, for myself, a couple updates I want to share. The first being that this is in Ward 1, but the True Revolution Wellness Clinic grant opening is going to take place this Thursday from 6 to 8, which we're very excited about. And so I want to congratulate True Revolution, their entire team, and everyone involved to help to support the wellness clinic that is going to be brought to our community and service hundreds, if not thousands, of folks throughout many years to come. Additionally, we do have the Labor Day Inland Empire Labor Council…”

“Yes, Mayor, and I do need to recuse myself from the public hearing at 3 o'clock, item number 40. This is due to a contribution I did receive through my campaign, not from Grapevine, but through a different entity, but that is tied to the developer. So I want to be mindful and be safe and will formally recuse. All right. Thank you, Council Member.”

“All right, these mics are being a little funny today. Thank you for the presentation, and I appreciate some of the questions from my colleagues so that we could just get some more clarity. I think for myself in going through this, I feel most comfortable, and I'd love to hear from my colleagues. In looking at both options, I think I like option two in seeing on the procurement process, and I appreciate your elaboration on some questions I would have had as well. What I like about this one is that it provides the same, just reading from the report, same operational benefits through a dual…”

“I guess I'm thinking of kind of how like a planning has their DRC reviews where they run through things that then aren't going to come here, you know, and it's almost like if you're already going to have a list of, you know, that's going to be clear to be kind of cut out and it's going to be maybe authorized. Maybe there could be a channel through city manager's office that then it's like, you know, council, please see attached. These are the items that are already essentially authorized to go again, it almost could be like, let us know if there's anything you need clarification on, you know,…”

“And I think my suggestion would be then is that we just break these up into two votes so that if we could see if there's a majority that was willing to support item one, we take a vote on it, and then we vote on the item that's on the tape motion for the rest of the week.”

“Thank you, Mayor. Is this working? Okay, there we go. Thank you. Just a few items. I was proud and happy to attend Equality California Heather Leadership Summit up in Sacramento last week and was glad to be invited and able to be there for a day to participate and meet with many other LGBTQ plus leaders across California and to share the great work we're doing here in Riverside.
