“Thank you. The CSC Citizens Advisory Committee met last week. They continue to do outstanding work with the incarcerated population. I am I would like to share that it took a year, but however, they now have a bachelor's degree offering at the prison. The first cohort, they had 36 to sign up, and 35 showed up for the orientation. And I want to make mention that a local paper, the recorder, had an individual to go there on site and take a tour and they, I believe it might have been Sunday's paper, but they were on the front page and they were so happy that time was taken to come in and see the…”

“Thank you. I wanted to add on regarding to what Councilmember Wiley and Silva had stated about the backpack drive. It was great, aside from all the activities for the young people, parents and the children, they were out. I mean, oh boy, were they out. 1,700 backpacks were made available through donations. I just want to mention the school district, the city, local businesses, and the parents. Everyone was out there because of the children. Something was being provided to them.
