City Council - Regular Meeting

you

We will now come to the session of the committee of the rules and the open government of today. We will start with the nominal appeal, please.

Candelas.

Right. Right.

Fly. Right. We have the body.

And Inky is here. It's the National Dog Day. So I have Inky with me, who comes from our animal shelter and who is available for adoption. So anyone here could leave with Inky today. We are... Oh, I also want to thank Daniel, who is in the audience, from the Animal Care Center, who helped us with Inky for the day. We will start by examining our agenda for next week, on Tuesday, September 1st. Council session at 8 o'clock at 9.30 and open session at 13.30 and the consent begins on page 5 and continues on page 6 and 7. In section 3, we have an amendment to our CalPERS contract and a franchise concession for energy storage for electrical services on the public road. And in section 8, recommendations for affordable financing to stimulate the development of affordable housing, actions related to the redevelopment of the Arena Hotel and the Homekey program, as well as an exclusive negotiation agreement for affordable housing at 71 Vista Montana. That's all. Do we have any comments from the public?

Yes, we have. Before calling the speaker, I remind you that the speakers must respect the city code of conduct for public meetings. Please address your comments to the assembly, limit your remarks to the point of order of the day and respect the time limit. A behavior that sensitively disrupts the meeting or hinders the ability of others to participate can lead to deafening or exclusion according to the law. Brian.

Go ahead. Hello everyone and thank you for sharing the chiot. It's nice. Just for the exam, I went through it. I used the IA just because of my hands and my eyes. I can't type as much anymore. But this raises some of what I consider concerns and compliments and if you have the opportunity to read it. Thanks.

Back to the committee.

Okay. We have comments. I don't see any problems. Is there a motion? Very good. Proceeding to vote. Brian?

Once again, as we only have one minute, and I understand why, you won't hear me complain about having only one minute. I will try to keep this promise. Support for the special meeting of the joint consultative committee with the QE20. The cleaning station is really important. I mean, we wouldn't have a very healthy city without this station, and sometimes I think it goes to the trap. I also really read the file of the gentleman named to the VEBA consultative committee and I think it's an important committee. I wrote something about it in the synopsis of the public file. I think that sometimes these things are forgotten. I really wanted to be interested in indigenous wall painting and Chicana because we have to take care of our heritage. Thank you very much. Next time, if you have the opportunity, you can throw a note.

Let's move on to our virtual interviewee, Jordan.

Jordan Mold, District 3. I just had a question. If anyone wants to answer it, concerning the joint meeting It is registered in the agenda as a public meeting. The fourth point of this agenda also includes a visit to the site. So I wonder if this visit is also considered to be part of the public meeting and if the public can also participate in it or if it will be a private visit on invitation. That's all. Thank you.

Back to the committee.

Thank you. Just to clarify, we are celebrating this year the anniversary of the purification station and we are organizing a joint meeting on November 5th. In addition to the public meeting of the 5th which includes a visit, I think the public can join the visit if they attend the meeting that day. There will be public visits proposed the following weekend, right? Jeff is here to answer this question. We are organizing public visits on November 7th. C'est bien ça ? Hello, Chief Provenzano, Director of the Environment Service. Yes, that's right. We are offering two days of public visits and we will send information on this subject. It has been about six years since we have organized public visits and there was a lot of interest from the public at the time.

We will therefore try on two days this time to see what kind of participation we get and this will help us to evaluate the types of programs that we can put in place.

A few days will come and we will have more information. A few dates of visits will be available on the weekend and our offices will promote it to the public so that they are aware and we will discuss the possibility of regular visits in the future, if the interest is sufficient. Thank you very much. Is there a motion on the consent calendar? Very well, let's proceed with the vote on consent. Okay, the consent calendar is adopted. 5-0. We move on to the Free Tribunal.

Brian.

I don't know if anyone has read the formulas of relativity. Basically, the faster you go, the slower the time goes. I don't know if you knew. I was with a gentleman here, a very nice man who believed that lunacy was a lie and that we lived on flat earth and he was very obstinate. He also used his mobile phone for the GPS, which doesn't really go together. And it's easy to make fun of these people, but that's not the solution. We simply live in a probabilistic universe, with ultimate goals and desires, and that creates conflicts. If I address this subject, it is because we have reached a point as a nation where we do not even know in which universe we live. This is how divided we are. So I hope we can find a way to answer this. Have a good day.

Back to the committee.

On this positive note, we raise the session at 2 p.m.

Bonne journée Lucien. Chaleur.
