“NEW SPEAKER THANK YOU. I WANT TO THANK Lemonwood School PTA and those parents for their invitation to participate in some of their events. It is really telling to be out in the community, especially with the kids. I have a soft spot for kids. I also did not have an opportunity to go to today's march. AT THE COURTHOUSE, SO I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM A BIG SUPPORTER OF THOSE RIGHTS. UNFORTUNATELY, I DID HAVE TO WORK, AND I HAVE A STANDING MEETING ON TUESDAY THAT PREVENTED ME FROM ATTENDING THAT MARCH AND SUPPORTING 7-2-1. AND I FURTHER, I WANT TO ECHO SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT…”
“May I comment? I think that because it is a third party and it has really nothing to do with the commenter except for his comments, I DON'T SEE WHY WE SHOULD, YOU KNOW, BRING THIS BACK. THIS IS THE LANDLORD OF THIS PROPERTY HAS SEEN THIS. THEY AGREE. I DON'T SEE WHY WE SHOULD HOLD A LANDLORD THAT HAS NO PROBLEM WITH THIS, HOLD HIM UP JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY ELSE HAS AN ISSUE WITH IT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PROPERTY.”
“MY CONCERN IS I APPRECIATE THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS, RIGHT, THAT A THIRD MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY WHO HAS A VESTED INTEREST BECAUSE HIS HOME IS WITHIN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT HAS. AND I THINK THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WELL, WE SHOULD TRY TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS, BUT MY FEAR IS THAT BY HOLDING THIS ITEM UP IS GOING TO CREATE UNINTENTIONAL CONSEQUENCES NOW THAT THE OWNER, IF THEY'RE NOT HAPPY, IT'S GOING TO JUST, I DON'T WANT TO HOLD THIS UP. SO I APPRECIATE THE QUESTIONS. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING FOR NEXT TIME OR MAYBE MOVING FORWARD, QUESTIONS THAT COULD WORK WITH THE THIRD PARTY IN REGARDS TO IT,…”
“I'll make the motion to move this item forward.”

“Thank you, Mayor. I've also been really busy. I attended the Lemonwood Neighborhood Council meeting and I was also invited to speak at the Lemonwood PTA meeting. So I want to thank the PTA board for their invitation. It was a really good meeting. We discussed concerns regarding Now that Ramona school is shuttling students over to Lemonwood school, they have seen an increase in traffic. They are working with the parents in order to try to alleviate that. So if that is not successful, They will be asking for some enforcement, but overall, it was a really good meeting. Just like council member…”
“Thank you, Mayor. I want to give special thanks to Lailuna Local 585 for their invitation to join them at the Taste of the Fair. It was a fun event. Also, I want to thank Unidos 805 for the invitation to be a speaker at their summer party event at Oxnard College. So thank you very much for them. It was a civic education. and conversation to help build a stronger community. I attended the Oxnard Connect yesterday, but I couldn't stay for the entire thing. I want to thank the staff. It was very well attended, so thank you for that. I had an opportunity to stop by the Heritage Square to meet the…”
“Thank you, thank you. I appreciate the dialogue. I actually see it a little bit different than my colleagues. As I sit here, I'm thinking to myself, A, this is a new regulation coming down, so there does need to be a phasing period because it's new to our citizens. It's not like we have red lights regulation where our kids are six, seven, eight years old. They're driving in the car. They know a red means stop. So, you know, they... We...
