“Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a comment real quick. Councilman Bui. Thank you. We appreciate all the speakers, but ideally it is point of order. If any speaker wants to address, I think it's more appropriate, according to our decorum, it needs to be addressed to the mayor and the body as a whole and stick to the point of concern, not demonize the individual or representative of any organization organizations that try to represent the city. I think the point is taken, but I think it will be more professional if the conversation was to carry just the point of the concern, but not to address to…”

“No worries, no worries. On July 15, I attend the PCTA board meeting. As you all know, for the month of July or mid-August, I was on vacation, so there's not much to report during those periods. I know a lot of my colleagues have been attending a lot of events during those times. On 8-19, I attend the PCTA board meeting. On 8-25, I attend the Senior Center Lua. And it was fun. You know, get to learn a few words, but some of the Tahitian word, it's hard. I couldn't pronounce it. I would say, aloha. That was easier. But the other one was pretty tough. On 8-26, I attend OC SEN Board of Director…”

“Okay. And the best part is, our goal is to break the Guinness World Record. And I think so far, what we're hearing, I think we are going to break the Guinness World Record. And this extension is invited to 34 city. to come and join us. So it's about Orange County breaking the Guinness World Record. So it'll be exciting. So for those who would like to partake, reach out to our mayor. We'll give you more information.”

“Oh, you're right. The Guinness World Record to have the largest outdoor potluck. And if we break it, we'll take the title away from India. India is currently holding the title. So that will be very interesting how that's going to play out.”

“Yeah, questions for you. So since we came back in 2023, like you said, our workers' comp, you know, average is a little bit higher than others. But since we've been back with GPIs for three years, has GPI offered any workers' comp training or look at our workers' comp where we're at?”

“And so you say annually, right? And doing 23, 24, 24, 25, any improvement have you seen or there's a risk that you saw that we could have improved? What's your analysis on that?”

“Thank you. Can you go back to the fly? Sure. Thank you. So 23 to 26, so far, like you said, we paid, what, projected 27, 2.3, right? Yes. The total premium. And if we were part of the workers' comp, it would have been 5.4? No, this is liability. Oh, liability.”

“And the only reason why you need additional data because it's only now that having you on board as the risk analysis, you start closing out those claim because it has been open.”
City Council · Aug 18, 2026

“So my question for you is for those claims that are still open out there and then you try to close those claim out, are you able to foresee the cost of those projections future closeout claim? Because if those 87 claim and you project close them out, it's going to be way more than having with the three data now and it make more sense to have now than pay them out at that time because we pay most of it already.”

“I thought, I mean, I'm on the private sector side. If I close that year on the workers' comp, my next year, my workers' comp goes up. So I'm not sure how it's not calculated.”

“Thank you. Can I ask you a question? How do you determine the five-year mark data? Why is it five years? Why could it be three years? It would be seven years.”

“Got it. I understand. I just want to know how you come up with a year. As a private sector, we want workers' comp insurance right away. We don't want to wait until data. Yes. That's what I'm trying to figure out.”

“Actually, you mentioned 24, there were seven, right? And then now there's six. Are those six same address as the seven or different?”

“Well, I think we have talked about this years ago when we took away STR. Keep in mind that back then we don't have any policy. And I've said that when you put a policy preventing people from doing STR, people will be creative. Business people are creative. That's why they're business people. They find different way. There's my understanding there's a shift that went to sober living home. Can we do anything about that? No. That's a consequence of taking something that we didn't have a policy. And we can't do anything on sober living home right now. I think that's even more dramatic to…”

“that's gonna be the pleasure of the council I appreciate my my point I'm trying to say is people I know my my my one try say is people are creative okay sounds like without any vote from the council member buoy I think it's option one well I want to say something if I may so if property owners did participate I mean on a regular basis”
