“Well, you know, since we discussed this, I want to say in our last meeting, I've given it some thought. And quite frankly, I'm not prepared to pick somebody, to be very honest with you. It needs to obviously be somebody that, you know, we're considering. And then, of course, you know, we need to talk to that person, be sure they're, you know, they're okay. By the bigger picture, though, It just doesn't feel right to me to do this. I wasn't really crazy to pick citizens for our ad hoc committee either without people doing the applications and interviews. But again, I did. I think it should…”

“Okay. Also, Mr. Mayor, if I may, I'm going to go ahead then and put this out on social media, and I'll get some response and can make a selection. However, it is important for me to know, too, when are these meetings going to be? Is it evening, day, weekend? How many meetings are we talking about? I mean, you know, it's because if I talk to people, they're going to ask me, and I do need to get the answers, please. Thank you.”

“Yes, I want to reiterate my desire and very much hope that this committee be for Fountain Valley residents as we do the planning commission and as we do the housing and community development. I'm going to read this paragraph from the staff report. Staff recommends thoughtful consideration for the direct appointments as the committee looks to represent the diverse population and demographics which make up our community. As the city looks towards implementing the Parks and Community Services Master Plan, it is imperative that these spaces, programs, and community events are tailored to our…”

“I knew it. Thank you. I'm good. Thank you. I'm ready. Yeah, so I want to say I wish I could be here in person with you guys, but I am here in San Diego representing the city at the ICSC Western, which is also known as the Innovating Commerce Serving Communities. And it's a smaller event here in San Diego, but very, very busy and good nevertheless. And I'm trying to read. I have low light in my room here. I'm here also in San Diego, not in my room, but elsewhere. Two great staffers. who are stellar in our city's economic development, and they are Omar Databoy, our community development…”

“Well, yes, great presentation. And yes, we haven't lost our economic development department. Of course not, because that's very important for the city's growth. Also, when we met previously a couple months ago about the incentive program for the police, I was very much in favor of possibly increasing it to whatever city staff feels would be lucrative. And I look forward to more officers. Thank you.”

“So, Council Member Bowie, you're mixing the funding. You're mixing the nonprofit funding with the city council funding and the players involved. We also do have the schedule here, and it's all about networking and connecting and knowledge. and gaining information in both ways, whether here or over there.”

“You made some comments in a prior meeting, at least twice now on camera, about your experience on the last trip. I don't really want to go there. So it's surprising. Are you considering going again?”

“Yeah, a couple of things. I want to say I will be attending the meeting next week that we have for this program next Tuesday. And my former career as a Disneyland Hotel employee, we dealt with a lot of Japanese. I learned all about the culture. In fact, our former GM was Japanese, Hideo Amemiya. So I believe I would be a great asset. Nothing to do with the election. Thank you.”
