“Okay. We're now at the portion of the agenda where we entertain public comments on any and all subjects, including those on the agenda. I'll first take those who have pre-registered, followed by those who are present who wish to speak but are not registered, and then we'll go to anyone online. Okay, the first registrants are, this is a duo of, is it Arthur Sori and Adrian Lazarga? Oh, okay, okay, okay, very good, I'm sorry. All right, so the last registrant is Brandi Ramirez.”
“they're great events that you guys are putting on but it's got to get more information that's all thank you okay a couple of things to your inquiry the code reduction i understand has requested a deferral for tonight that will not be going forward tonight but you did have a bigger picture question and maybe you've been attend in attendance or watching online over the last several months where other property owners have come in and asked for additional reductions. We do, the council does have that discretion. It does not end with the special magistrate or special master here. Thank you. That's…”
“Thank you. All right. Is there anyone here in the audience who would like to make a public comment this evening? Come on down. Are you here for the street naming? Well, we're going to bring that to the head of the agenda. So if you just want to wait a few minutes.”
“Anyone else? Yes. Good evening. Good evening.”
“Was your offense having a sandwich type sign? What was the A-frame sign? Yes, A-frame. And that provides a lot of clarification. Secondly, what we are addressing tonight is a small segment of the sign code that deals with window signage. This does not address your issue. I hope that before I leave here at the end of next year, we will have overhauled the sign code to be more with it. I'm not saying that an A-frame sign, you know, We're constrained by county rules. May not be in our code, but we are constrained to a certain extent by county rules. And what I would like, the assistant city…”
“Allowing and overlooking are two entirely different things. Let me ask real quick, and not to get too far out in the weeds. I know clearly no signage is allowed on the right of way.”
“So let's jump to the claim of the second citation. Are A-frame type signs a prohibited sign when placed on private property, let's say during business hours?”
“But never in the right of way and never violating the setback.”
“Your benefit here tonight is we've all heard the same thing at the same time. And that's important. That's very helpful for us.”
“So you're just encouraging us to ignore county code.”
“Anyone else in person? Okay, is there anyone online? Oh, I'm sorry.”

“I would think that you wouldn't find anyone here tonight in opposition to enabling that. Certainly, Councilman.”

“Right. So do we have a motion to defer to July 7th? MOVED BY VICE MAYOR BAILEY, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CANNABAL. ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. SO NEXT WE HAVE I BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY CLOSET JUDICIAL HEARINGS. THAT TAKES US TO TAB 2.”
“Council, any response or commentary regarding that? Any input from the police department one way or the other? That's what I was going to ask.”
“Mayor Mrakas, hey Thank you, Mr manager. Mayor Mrakas, And I didn't forget we're going to go the street naming next I got ahead of myself. Mayor Mrakas, i'm going to support this, I think it's necessary as someone who doesn't have the protection of a gated community, I think this. objective means of measuring noise, whatever it is, loud mufflers, loud car stereos, or music playing three blocks away that sounds like it's in my backyard, I think it's a much needed tool in the toolkit. And it's interesting. that on the one hand, general noise isn't a concern, but I was inadvertently in the loops…”

“Thank you. I know that we've all been briefed and we have the letter from the Aaronsmith Post of the VFW making the request to honor a hometown kid, hometown young man who lost his life in 2004.”
“i want to thank you and commend all of you who who picked up the mantle and brought that forward i think it was just a few well enough days ago but barely that you contacted both myself and vice mayor bailey and asked for this and it's something that we jumped through our backsides to uh to get on the agenda and get done i understand that you know the family will be in the area in january around the time of uh Lance Corporal Segura's birthday, January 17th, that will help you coordinate a formal unveiling and ceremony. And so we do have plenty of time to get the signage. The county controls…”
“Any questions, comments? Have a motion? Move by the vice mayor, seconded by Councilman Roth. Let's have a roll call vote on the street naming.”

“I'm fine, I think, if it's in our package, unless anyone wants it. Also, I know in past years, and maybe this time too, there's always been discussion about safety of law enforcement officers where the big issue is today, as I understand it, window decals, for lack of better expression.”
