“Yeah, I'm glad we have a chance to reflect on the Constitution because it's such an essential document and, you know, it didn't happen overnight. There was a lot of struggle and we tried other documents. I think the states had a problem wanting to have that federal government step in, but it was so essential. articles of Confederation didn't work and so fortunately we had some great early American leaders like James Madison and we're able to you know crap that document we were able to have the Bill of Rights so everything that we have now is thanks to those people at that time to had the…”

“Yeah, and so is there a little bit of ability of the employees to get into a little more I don't know, not as conservative investments. Do they have that option somewhat so they could, you know, make some small changes where it might be a little bit more less conservative, especially maybe a newer employee who's starting out as opposed to a person who's about ready to retire, probably doesn't want to do a lot of more risky things. But is that something that employees have the ability to do?”

“Yeah, I will echo Council Member Verosa's comment about these kids are just so smart and they are so articulate. And I'm very impressed by the high school students in San Ramon and also Danville. They're just... They always impress us when they get up and interview for these slots. I attended on August 28th, Friday, the San Ramon Historic Foundation.

“All right, Council Member Adler. Yeah, it's always a pleasure to see you out in the community. I think I first met you maybe five years ago, and I didn't know much about the organization then. But I think every few months I see you at Rotary and the antidote machine, the device that was placed at the police station. And you were out there making a difference, and you were really a treasure there. to our community. And I get emotional because you've just done so much. You know, we count on the police for saving lives, but you, you know, you're a citizen and you are, you and your colleagues,…”

“Sure. I don't have too much to say because I was out of state visiting relatives in Michigan. But yesterday I did go to the San Ramon Historic Foundation and went to Carol Rowley's house and Carol has been there. involved in San Ramon as a city council member and done a lot of great things and continues to be involved in our city. And we talked about a number of things. One of the most important, I think, is our own Becky Adams reported on Forest Home Farms. And we have a lot of events there that involve families and tractors. But there was some concern about potential liability. uh with the…”
