“Yes, Councilman Enriquez, District 4, everybody over here all day. Thank you, Mayor. So I'm kind of all over the place because I had to write all my council comments on my notebook due to my iPad. But just so folks know, I usually like to be a little bit more organized. But I just want to say it's been just a very productive last couple of two weeks since our first meeting here at City Hall. But I want to start off with Lewis Park and the folks that spoke about the incidents of public safety that have been going on throughout the city and that i want to talk about just generally but…”

“Perfect. And that'll be the first branch that'll be officially here at New City Hall. So congrats to the U.S. Coast Guard on Tuesday, August 4th. So join us at 9 a.m. Like many of my colleagues have shared, National Night Out will be coming. I will be, I think last year I went to about 10 or 11. This year I hope to beat my record, but I want to thank our police department. They shared all the locations. And learning from last year, I want to put it out there. For folks that put the addresses of where they're hosting, please let us know if you want us to publicly put that out there. Because…”

“Thank you, Mayor. I just want to thank everyone for this presentation, all the information. I'll echo what many of my colleagues have shared so far. I know one of the things for me that I appreciate about this project was first I asked questions about the water infrastructure and all my questions were answered. So that was the main focus that I had in terms of how it's going to be laid out in terms of the three developers uniting together for this. So seeing the visuals was really helpful for me. Also appreciating the green space. So I think those so that was another component to it I'm not…”

“No worries. Thank you, Mayor. And yeah, I just want to just reiterate just in terms of when I first read the grand jury report, I was actually happy that we finally got it because I kept asking myself every month, when are we going to get it? When are we going to get it? And I remember Thinking back early last summer, about a year ago, I think it was maybe late May, early June, probably July, but I remember when, what I shared about what I wanted taken to the grand jury, and having gone through, I think, two interviews, I think one lasted three hours, where I was being asked questions left…”

“Yes. So I appreciate the tension that there's a... Council members are protected, but I want to just continue with just kind of giving just the general thoughts of why this is on the agenda. So I appreciate you, city attorney, just for us to be extra cautious. But what I was going to say was just in terms of the overall process from last year and looking at it and reading it thoroughly page by page and the recommendations. And one of the things that, you know, for those that don't go to ledge, and I know I wanted to give context, was people kept asking about recommendations from the first…”

“Great, thank you Mayor. So like many of my colleagues have shared, I'm very excited that we're here at New City Hall and the fact that I made a comment about being on the dais and just what an honor it is to represent District 4 and to be in these new chambers. It means a lot and I know it's the same sentiment that my colleagues have to be able to be here and represent their constituents. There's a new energy here. I felt it even when I first came a couple weeks ago when staff was here. Every time I saw staff, I just felt I saw more smiles. And I said, you know, it just feels lighter. There's…”

“Thank you mayor. So city attorney, one of the things that, and just for the public, I know when this was first initially discussed at our legislation committee last year, and I know he got, he got brought to council and we had a discussion and you know, the police who all gave your perspective, which I appreciate a lot has happened since ledge meeting to the last time he was brought to full council to now having a new city attorney to the lawsuit in Modesto and just the crime rates that have been lowered here in Stockton, and that's something that we want to talk more about how crime is down…”

“Not necessarily a question, but just something to think about in terms of having a proper legal analysis. Again, just if you had the time to really review this and considering all the moving parts I shared, I think would be helpful for this council.”

“Thank you, Mayor. Just really quick, Penny. Maybe you already answered this, so I apologize if you have to repeat yourself. But in terms of the six bids that were out and three were chosen, Why three? Why not two? Is it just based on you staggered the hours that they could do per week? Why three out of six, not two out of six or one out of six? We could have gone with one out of six. Is it normal to do? Was it three before or is it three this time around?”

“No, and I appreciate that, and thank you for saying that because I'm sure, I mean, I didn't know that, so I don't know how many, the public knew that until just now, so it's good to hear, and also I think I had the same thoughts as the mayor had about just the tracking, how much is picked up per district throughout the city. I know we get it once a year, but if there were emails that maybe I didn't get, my apologies, but even if it's something as simple as quarterly updates about what these three partners, especially if they were previously having done this, you know if there are focus areas…”

“Thank you, Mayor. So yeah, thank you, Council Member Villalpudo for bringing that up. I know we did ask that for it to come to ledge. So any animal related ordinances is gonna be presented to our future ledge meeting. And we know that's a priority throughout the entire city. And then also I wanna just, even though I am chair, I wanna just reiterate to the public that we are bringing back slight amendment for street vendor ordinance, a very slight amendment just through the ongoing work. As we said, it's been six months, but we also know that there's been a lot of lessons learned, but we wanna…”

“Just for clarity, thank you, Mayor. If you don't mind just sharing how many meetings you did to get to this point. because again, I do disagree with my colleague, because I know in my district, I did talk about the water rate, so I wouldn't speak on behalf of everyone up here, but I would just say for the record, if you all can just give us a ballpark of how many meetings you all did, how many letters you put out there, and especially Council Member Villaputua, we're on the Water Committee together, and we discussed this very heavily about the public and sharing the video links to the public,…”

“No, and I appreciate that because I know one of the asks during our Water Committee meeting was to be able to share that link and that resource so we can share it amongst ourselves, which you all did. And I know I took advantage of it, so I wanted to say thank you for that. And a lot of my constituents did ask questions, so we had good dialogues. I know during my mornings with Mario, I always make that a topic, a priority to discuss. So I mean, we all work in different ways, but I don't want to take away the work that you all did to get here. And also, I would say for anyone that did give a…”

“Thank you, Mayor. Morgan, I just want to say thank you for this presentation to Barbara and the entire team. And I know I've been to a couple meetings. One thing already, because I think we first met, I think it was we were in South Stockton. There was a presentation. I forget where we were at, but it was my first introduction to the Mormon slew restoration and all the efforts you all were doing. And I know I've been to two that you all had at your main office and then one recently at the well. But resharing your content online has been really informative for me at least. I know it has been…”

“No, thank you, Miss. I appreciate it. I just had a quick question, and I think you just said it. The slide where it has motions governing debate, motion to limit debate. So if someone calls the question, they can do it whenever. uh requires two-thirds approval so you do need to so do you first caught a question you get a second and then the majority two-thirds have to approve that after the second yes okay and i asked that because i think that i don't know if this happened when my three of my colleagues were here before the four of us came on if called a question has ever happened i've never…”

“Thank you, Mayor. So I'll start off like I normally do. I will start off with infrastructure. I want to just let my constituents know, and I did do some follow ups, but for now we have three potholes we're able to get fixed the force 4600 block of venicia boulevard the 1500 block of bacardi drive and the 1400 block of columbia avenue near victory park and that one in particular was about six small potholes and that was really important because as we all know and i mentioned at the last council meeting we have our concerts in the park now happening again at victory park so a lot of folks park…”

“Oh, of course. Yeah, she has to come back to New City Hall. At least once a week. Yes, once a week. Try the Dunkin' Noodles. And then also, I want to thank Stockton Service Corps. They had their alumni induction ceremony over the weekend. I know Congressman Harder was there. And a couple other staff were there, but it was really great to be there because we had a lot of the students that were there. They came to City Hall and I want to think our city clerk in our city manager. We got to meet about 20 of them who were here and just kind of really give them a lay of the land of the politics,…”
