“My understanding is we're bringing this back to council as a whole for us to evaluate and give direction to move forward.”

“OK, so can I withdraw my approval of the second motion? Because I would like the entire evaluation to come back before we make a decision. That's what I thought we were all discussing up here was then I asked that earlier. And that was the.”

“ANYTHING MAYOR PUTIN? COUNCILMEMBER EVANS? it's after 10 so i'll make it um really quick or at least i'll try to two things once real quick just wanted to say thanks to everybody that came out and spoke their minds tonight it's great to see residents coming in this is your house and that helps us do our job helps keep us also in check and we need more people coming in. So it's nice to see you out there. Also, we did have a constituent make a request for consideration of Portuguese flag. And I don't know if, do I need to request that from the dais or?”

“Yes, under the flag policy. Is that for a particular date or event? I don't know. I think it is. I'd have to go back. I know I gave it to staff with dates. I think it's the month of June. Yes. Maybe the month of June. Sounds right. Okay. So month of June or whatever we consider. You know, I guess my request is to bring it before council, discuss it, come up with, you know, what we think is reasonable and move forward.”

“I'm looking for the Portuguese Heritage Month. Yeah, Portuguese Heritage Month. And if, you know, the request isn't to approve the flag, it's to discuss and discuss options. And if it doesn't work for a month, maybe there's another possibility.”

“IT'S IN THE E-MAIL. HONESTLY, I'M NOT SURE. IF STAFF COULD JUST LOOK AT THE E-MAIL. OKAY. I WANT TO SAY IT'S THE PORTUGUESE FLAG, BUT I HONESTLY AM NOT SURE.”
City Council · Aug 18, 2026

“And if it's if it doesn't fit the policy, you know, you can let me know. I can ask the constituent to reconsider another option. And I think that's the idea. Bring it bring it forward. And, you know, I'll ask them to be here and.”

“Absolutely. Yeah, I'm not looking to change policy. So thanks.”

“I will second that, but if I can make a friendly amendment to it, there's a parking lot that have been meeting task staff about the parking lot right next to the post office. And not sure what happened, but it was recently overlaid and striped. Looked beautiful. Now there's weeds coming up through it because it was gated off, like chained off and not used for like months. I don't know why.”

“It's it's going to be OK. We have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd big problems.”

“NEW SPEAKER YES, MAYOR. BEEN REQUESTED TO PULL ITEM 3W.”
City Council · Jul 7, 2026

“Thank you, Mayor. Yeah, just a quick comment on this item. I was adamantly against this item, not against building an industrial facility if it were to be placed in one of our industrial zones. This is not. It was proposed for Corral Hollow between two of our largest neighborhoods in Tracy. Disagree with placement of this particular development in this area. For consistency's sake, it's protest vote, but I'm going to vote no for this particular item.”

“JUST TO BE SURE EVERYBODY'S CLEAR AND IT'S ON RECORD, THERE'S BEEN NO DESIGN CHANGES, THERE'S BEEN NOTHING ADDED, NOTHING DELETED, NOTHING ALTERED, IT'S THE SAME Development is the same as it always was, correct?”
City Council · Jul 7, 2026

“Okay. The only thing that does appear to have changed is a phased approach, which is two phases now instead of one.”
City Council · Jul 7, 2026

“Okay. And so the reason this is coming to council through consent now as opposed to a while back, I guess, is because they're getting ready to construct the basic infrastructure. Is that right?”

“I BELIEVE I UNDERSTOOD THE ENERGY AUDIT WAS NOT GOING TO BE INCLUSIVE OF THIS BUILDING, CORRECT? DID I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY?”
City Council · Jul 7, 2026
- Play at 1:09:55
“The reason I guess I think it's germane to this topic is if I understood, if we're waiting for the audit, the audit is not going to be inclusive of the transit center. That's what I'm hearing.”
City Council · Jul 7, 2026
- Play at 1:11:09
“Got it. And I'm open to entertaining this idea. I'm just, my point is I don't think a good reasoning is to wait for this audit. It doesn't sound like this is, if we're only looking at appliances within the transit center, then it's not going to have an impact on the solar option that's being discussed. So that's all my point is. We can wait, if that's Council's will, but I don't see waiting for the audit.”

“Thank you, Mayor. I think to staff, I mean, we're talking about $21 million. It's an awful lot of money. I don't want to disagree with it. I mean, I trust our staff, but there's just not enough detail. I've gone through this. I've gone through attachments. I've gone through everything. There's detail here, like there's amounts, but I can't really see what it is. I mean, I see the categories, and there's columns that kind of explain what they are but I don't understand how we got there is there a way to get more detail like granular detail on what this is like is there something I can see like…”

“Where am I missing that? Because I've looked at the attachments and the staff report. Am I missing it?”
City Council · Jul 7, 2026

“Yeah, I guess I see those. Those are some of the tables I'm talking about. Like, I mean, I see raw numbers, and I mean, that's good. It kind of got me partway there, but I didn't see any actual drawings.”
City Council · Jul 7, 2026

“I would like to see them. Is there any harm in waiting on this a little bit? Or is the time of the essence on this?”
City Council · Jul 7, 2026
- Play at 1:23:27
“I want to approve this. I mean, I want to be clear, like, I have no issue with it overall, but being that we're talking a large sum of money, I would like to see it and understand it a little bit better than I do right now. I see, like, what staff's telling me. I see the descriptions, but I'm having a hard time visualizing what it is that was done, and I'd like to actually... I'd almost like to drive out there and see it. It's a lot of money.”
