San Bruno Special City Council Meeting September 17, 2021
trt 1:10:40

Here,
we'll
move
on
to
item
three
public
comments
for
items
not
on
the
agenda.
Individuals
will
be
allowed
up
to
three
minutes.
It
is
council's
policy
to
refer
matters
raised
in
this
form
for
staff,
for
investigation
and
or
action
where
appropriate
brown
act
prohibits,
counsel
from
discussing
or
acting
upon
any
matter
not
gender
is
pursuant
to
state
law.
If
there's
any
members
of
the
public
that
wish
to
take
on
items
the
item
not
on
agenda,
this
would
be
the
opportunity
in
which
to
please
raise
your
hand,
and
then
we
will
go
ahead
and
call
it.
B
A
A
My
goal
is
to
always
hold
myself
to
the
highest
standards
of
personal
and
professional
conduct.
As
an
elected
official
and
citizen
of
the
city
of
san
bruno,
and
I
fell
short
of
that
expectation
as
detailed
in
the
investigators
report,
I
apologize
to
everyone
directly
and
indirect
impacted
by
my
actions.
I
take
and
accept
responsibility
for
my
behavior.
A
This
entire
process
has
resulted
in
my
take
steps
to
address
and
understand
my
actions
in
order
to
move
forward,
so
I
can
achieve
the
highest
standards
of
personal
and
professional
conduct.
Once
again,
since
I
am
personally
the
subject
of
tonight's
special
meeting,
I
do
not
feel
it
is
appropriate
to
participate
in
the
discussion
and
I
am
recusing
myself
at
this
time.
I
will
turn
the
meeting
over
to
vice
mayor
medina
and
I
trust
my
colleagues
to
act
in
the
best
interests
of
the
city
of
san
bruno.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
D
E
E
E
Given
that
the
mayor
was
warned
previously
regarding
misconduct
and
only
for
that
conduct
to
continue
makes
it
clear
that
real
sanctions
are
necessary,
I
have
suggestions
for
what
I
think
we
should
do.
I
don't
know
if
everybody
else
can
make
a
statement
before
we
get
to
that
or
if
I
should
do
that
now.
E
Stop
there
well,
you
know,
okay,
I
do.
I
believe
that
it's
imperative
that
any
action
we
may
choose
to
take
tonight
be
taken
away
that
once
this
meeting
adjourns
tonight,
this
matters
effectively
close
to
continue
the
decision
to
another
meeting
and
prolong
the
process
would
be
unfair
not
only
to
the
mayor
but
to
the
public
to
deserve
to
have
their
council
and
their
city
organization
focused
not
on
this,
but
on
all
the
things
we
need
to
get
done
in
san
bernardino.
So
I'm
going
to
be.
C
F
So,
thank
you
vice
mayor
medina,
so
I
think
tonight
was
unexpected
for
a
lot
of
us.
The
council
was
was
not
involved
in
the
investigation
and
we
got
the
executive
summary
that
the
public
saw
so.
First
of
all,
I
really
want
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
the
complex
nature
of
this
investigation
when
you
have
a
long-standing
public
official,
with
countless
relationships
within
san
bruno
and
throughout
the
region,
who's
being
investigated
with
an
investigation
initiated
by
those
individuals
who
essentially
report
to
the
council
and
thus
the
mayor.
F
The
findings
were
then
brought
to
the
to
colleagues
and
we're
now
being
asked
whether
we
want
to
take
any
action
on
our
colleague
whom
we've
been
working
with
for
the
last
couple
of
years,
some
many
years
so
in
looking
at
the
executive
summary.
The
findings
are
not
a
question
of
law
or
policy,
but
instead
they're
factual
findings.
F
F
After
reading
the
executive
summary,
it
is
reasonable
to
believe
that
actions
taken
by
mayor
medina
place,
the
city
of
san
gurno's,
already
lean
staff
in
a
position
of
having
to
choose,
in
some
cases,
public
health
over
job
security
over
the
mayor.
Sometimes
what
appears
to
be
an
executive
summary
described
as
what
maybe
some
could
describe
as
mercurial
temperament.
F
The
example
provided
an
executive
summary
of
the
mayor,
coughing
in
city
hall
and
an
employee
informing
the
mayor
that
staff
was
concerned
with
a
legitimate
staff
concern
based
on
the
dates
within
the
executive
summary
and
its
timelines.
This
incident
occurred
in
the
middle
of
the
covid
pandemic,
which
was
not
yet
over
and
has
killed
over
600
000
people
as
of
last
week
amongst
the
symptoms
of
standard
covid
questionnaires
that
we've
all
seen
coughing
is
one
of
them.
F
F
F
The
staff
member
was
then
asked
to
disrupt
their
own
chain
of
command
and
not
their
supervisor
and
instead
to
the
mayor.
Should
this
occur
in
the
future.
The
mayor
who's,
not
the
employer
supervisor,
asking
a
subordinate
to
essentially
stoop
their
their
chain
of
command,
which
could
easily
be
insubordination.
F
The
report
refers
to
mandina
contacting
city
staff
on
the
evenings
and
weekends
after
he
had
been
drinking
alcohol
at
social
events
and
to
be
clear,
these
were
not
emails
that
could
be
responded
to
on
monday
morning.
These
were
phone
calls
of
which
most
individuals
would
answer,
because
it's
the
mayor,
calling
you
the
level
of
comfort
established.
F
To
be
able
to
contact
staff
on
their
time
off,
not
knowing
if
they
were
busy
with
their
family
or
friends
and
intoxicated,
raises
a
question
to
me
of
how
long
this
has
been
going
on,
which
is
which
also
addressed
later
in
the
executive
summary
and
further,
it
wasn't
just
one
witness.
According
to
the
report,
two
witnesses
suspected
mayor
medina
had
been
drinking
and
three
witnesses
felt
mayor.
Medina
was
impaired
with
seven
witnesses
in
the
entire
investigation.
F
However,
the
fact
that
mayor
medina
was
previously
spoken
to
about
similar
behavior,
none
of
which
is
documented
here
and
that
the
actions
continued
makes
me
feel
like
we
can't
walk
away
without
being
clear
that
this
conduct
is
not
what
we
want
to
represent
san
bruno
today,
nor
the
future
we
are
in
the
process
of
hiring
new
staff.
We
have
a
team
of
new
directors,
many
of
whom
have
just
started
in
the
last
year
and
if
we're
serious
about
creating
a
strong
team,
it's
not
just
about
supporting
the
city
manager
financially
with
extra
positions.
F
C
G
C
C
E
Is
it
before
going
to
public
comment?
I
think
maybe
it
would
be
best
to
have
public
comment
before
we
before
we
make
any
decisions,
of
course,
but
you
know
before
we
have
the
discussion
and
getting
a
decision,
I'm
wondering
if
it's
important
to
just
state
what
our
options
are,
because
you
know
we
don't
have
the
the
you
know:
infinite
number
of
options
of
what
what
we
can
do.
Is
it
important
that
the
public
know
what
the
options
are
before
we
open
it
up
for
public
comment?
E
C
D
B
H
Thank
you.
This
is
laura
davis,
you
guys
all
know,
I'm
a
former
council
member
for
the
city
of
san
bruno
and
I'm
calling
tonight
to
just
simply
say
that
I'm
pretty
disgusted
by
the
council.
I
feel
that
this
is
a
political
witch
hunt.
I
think
that
any
person
who
has
gone
through
a
process
of
having
difficulties
and
challenges
is
dealt
with
privately
and
is
gotten
help
through
the
city
or
through
their
employer.
H
I
believe
that
the
city
of
san
bruno
unfortunately
has
had
a
history
of
of,
I
would
say,
inappropriate,
behavior
by
not
only
a
city
manager
by
staff
members
who
have
made
employees
cry.
I
think
that
this
is
a
perfect
opportunity
to
get
all
employees
and
all
leadership.
A
training
that's
well
deserved.
H
I
believe,
linda
mason
is
out
for
running
for
mayor,
and
I
believe
that
rico,
I
think,
simply
stated
that
he
has
apologized.
He
feels
that
his
actions
were
inappropriate
and
I
hope
that
when
you're
down-
and
we
all
have
struggles
mentally
physically-
that
we
are
supported
by
our
colleagues
because
we
want
the
betterment
for
the
community-
rita
gets
frustrated
with
the
lack
of
the
city.
Manager's
response
and
emails
and
constant
communication
he
wants
to
tend
to
support
linda
mason
and
her
supporters,
because
there
was
someone.
B
I
I
I
J
J
D
On
two
occasions
rico
medina
came
to
my
home
for
dinner.
Both
times
we
had
to
gently
ask
him
to
leave.
He
showed
up
fairly
inebriated,
drank
more
and
refused
to
take
an
uber
home.
We
could
not
get
his
keys
away
from
him.
He
was
no
longer
welcome
in
my
home.
For
that
reason,
I
was
attacked
personally
by
him
at
jack's
restaurant
in
2019,
in
front
of
laura
davis,
tom
hamilton
and
marty
medina
about
my
position
on
the
hotel
sale.
D
This
is
not
uncommon.
Behavior
for
rico
medina
rico.
Medina
has
showed
up,
obviously
inebriated
for
community
cleanups
in
2017
and
18..
I
don't
know
about
future
ones,
because
I
avoided
what
I'm
suggesting
to
laura
davis
and
others.
This
is
not
a
political
matter.
This
behavior
is
rico
medina's
and
he
should
own
it
completely.
D
Not
blame
somebody
else
on
the
council,
not
blame
some
other
factor.
He
did
this
long
before
code
and
he's
continuing
to
do
it.
My
own
father
died
of
alcohol.
This
is
very
sad
for
me
to
watch
and
not
spoken
about
it
publicly
before,
but
I
just
want-
and
I
would
not
have
said
anything
if
laura
davis
had
not
made
the
comments
that
she
had
made.
D
K
You're
ready,
okay,
I
just
I
came
in
late
to
this,
but
somebody
had
forwarded
me
the
zoom
invite
regarding
the
situation.
I
was
just
curious.
Did
the
mayor
make
a
comment
regarding
the
accusations
that,
like
I'm,
I'm
kind
of
unclear
what
happened
is
he's
been
accused
of
some
things?
Is
he
disagreeing
with
them
or
owning
it
or
what's
the
situation.
K
D
K
Okay,
I
guess
it's
not
then
for
for
me
personally,
it
would
be
hard
for
me
to
make
a
fair
comment,
not
knowing
all
the
facts.
I
read,
you
know
the
you
know
the
report
that
was
presented,
but
do
I
believe
those
that
one-sided
viewpoint?
No,
I
don't
have
do
I
don't
know
what's
going
on
so
I
I
really
feel
that
it's
not
fair
to
attack
our
mayor
on
things
like
you
almost
have
to
have
a
trial,
because
people
are
saying
things.
It's
like
this
is
politics.
K
This
is
san
bruno
and,
to
be
honest,
if
I
were
the
mayor,
I'd
probably
be
very
frustrated
because
a
lot
of
things
don't
get
done
in
this
city
and
it's
because
people
aren't
doing
their
jobs,
and
so,
if
he's
coming
down
on
people
that
do
their
jobs,
perhaps
this
is
nothing
more
than
people
who
really
don't
work
too
hard
trying
to
get
back
at
him.
So
that's
my
comment
because
I
don't
know
any
more
facts.
L
Good
evening,
I
kind
of
agree
with
the
last
caller
one
thing
that
you
know
I
read
the
executive
summary,
but
it's
an
executive
summary.
It's
not
the
full
report
and
it'd
be
nice
to
read
the
whole
thing
before
make
any
judgments.
The
second
thing,
just
a
couple
of
things
that
I'd
like
to
talk
about
that
I
heard
while
we
were
while
I
was
waiting,
is
there's
accusations
of
alcoholisms
and
that's
that's
unknown,
and
if
the
mayor
has
a
problem,
I
hope
he
gets
help,
but
I
think
that
should
not
be
you
know.
L
The
other
thing
is
one
of
the
callers
made
a
accusation
of
an
incident
that
happened
at
his
home
and
I
think
that
the
since
nobody
else
was
there.
I
think
that
the
council
should
disregard
that,
because
it's
not
part
of
the
report
that
we're
discussing
and
another
thing
was
people
talked
about
removing
from
office
and
obviously
that's
not
an
option,
since
the
city
attorney
gave
the
options.
L
K
K
K
We
cannot
blame
covet,
but,
to
be
honest
with
you,
I
think
from
the
get-go,
this
new
council
everybody's
out
to
get
somebody
and
we
just
need
to
get
sam
bruno
back
in
order
clean
everything
up
and
maybe
maybe
reach
out
to
rico,
I'm
hoping
that
everybody
on
the
council
has
personally
reached
out
to
him
and
and
offered
some
help,
maybe
even
just
an
ear,
a
friend,
my
goodness.
I
can't
believe
that
this
is
happening,
but
thank
you
for
listening
and
please
do
consider
the
decision
that
you're
going
to
make
tonight.
M
Hi
there
hi
whenever
you're
ready,
stephen
okay.
Thank
you.
So
this
meeting
started
someone
alluded
to
the
fact
that
this
is
a
a
sad
day
or
an
embarrassing
day
for
san
bruno,
and
I
do
believe
that
that's
the
case.
The
behavior
of
mayor
benita
was
clearly
inappropriate
and
he
admitted
that.
But
the
sad
and
embarrassing
part
of
this
day
is
what
has
come
in
response
from
the
city
manager
and
from
his
colleagues
on
the
council
for
the
city
manager
to
trigger
a
formal
investigation
on
this.
M
Behavior
is,
what's
embarrassing
and
for
personnel
matter
to
be
held
at
a
public
meeting
with
the
clear
intent
to
just
embarrass
and
belittle
one
of
our
public
officials,
for
these
instances
is
what's
embarrassing
and
disgusting
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
to
sit
on
a
council
for
some
of
these
people
for
years
and
for
this
council
or
this
city
manager
not
to
handle
this
privately
in
a
professional
manner
is
absolutely
awful.
Does
it
mean
that
we
should
condone
mayor
medina's
behavior?
No,
but
this
is
not
how
it
should
be
handled.
Thank
you.
N
Just
wanted
to
say
that
it's
2021
alcohol
has
no
place
in
the
professional
environment
and
I
think
for
those
of
us
that
come
from
non-government
companies,
really
we
have
hr.
We
I
mean,
if
you
take
the
behavior
of
the
mayor
and
put
it
in
terms
of
a
private
company
or
even
a
publicly
held
company,
whatever
a
non-government
agency,
we
would
all
be
appalled
like
that.
This
would
not
happen
so
for
those
of
us
that
come
from
companies
where
we
have
hr
and
whatnot.
N
This
is
just
off
the
wall
crazy
and
that,
I
guess,
is
what
it
means
to
be
working
for
government
some
of
the
people
who
called
in
and
commented
laura
davis
who
are
doing
the
mayor,
no
favors,
no
matter
what
is
going
on
with
him.
Personally,
there
is
no
place
in
attacking
employees
of
the
city.
For
any
reason,
it's
just
it's
just.
This
is
not
professional,
no
matter
how
you
look
at
it,
it's
not
a
personal
vendetta.
N
I
actually
think
he's
he's
been
very
nice
to
me.
I've
seen
him
act
only
professionally,
but
for
those
of
you
saying
this
is
not
how
this
process
is
supposed
to
play
out.
My
question
is:
he's
a
publicly
elected
official.
What
is
the
process?
I
understand
privacy.
However,
again
he
is
an
elected
official,
so
I
think
it
requires
transparency
and
for
those
of
us
female
humans,
this
is
kind
of
what
it's
like
to
be
a
female
every
day.
N
C
C
C
E
E
I
have
known
the
mayor
for
nearly
40
years
since
I
was
child,
and
I
take
no
pleasure
in
any
of
this.
In
fact,
I
have
been
sick
about
having
to
do
this,
but,
as
I
stated
earlier
to
do,
nothing
would
tell
everyone
that
we,
as
the
leadership
of
san
bruno,
condone
this
behavior,
and
given
that
the
mayor
was
warned
previously
regarding
misconduct,
which
was
an
attempt
to
handle
the
matter
privately,
the
behavior
continued.
E
E
E
What
this
would
do
is,
in
the
unlikely,
extremely
unlikely
event
that
the
conduct
would
reoccur
that
we,
the
council,
would
have
you
know
other
other
remedies
still
available.
But
that's
not.
I
do
not
believe
that's
going
to
happen,
and
I
do
believe
that
the
mayor
is
was
sincere
in
his
in
his
apology
and
in
his
and
his
commitment
to
to
to
do
better.
C
Our
management
staff
did
what
they
had
to
do
to
protect.
The
staff
that
were
involved
in
the
behavior
electeds
are
are
quite
different
than
regular
staff
of
we
are
not
supposed
to
do.
We
have
limited
ability
to
contact
staff,
and
the
actions
in
the
report
were
way
beyond
what
anyone
should
should
be
doing,
and
so
I
am
in
favor
of
the
censure,
with
the
removal
of
the
city,
committees
and
and
one
one
other
reason
for
that
is,
is
just
to
remove
all
uncomfortable
and.
C
G
So
I'm
wondering
you
know,
first
of
all,
is
this
something
that
was
going
to
go
away
anyway.
Second
of
all,
is
there
that
much
interaction
that
happens
there,
where
we're
actually
protecting
anyone,
or
is
it
just
a
punitive
action
where
we're
going
to
take
some
action
to
say
that
we
took
action-
or
you
know
is-
is
the
city's
current
action?
What's
already
happened
and
the
restrictions
that
have
been
placed
on
the
mayor
already
enough
or
actually
do
they
far
exceed
what
what's
being
proposed
here.
E
The
the
actions
that
were
taken
already
in
you
know
prohibiting
the
mayor
from
visiting
city
hall
or
contacting
staff
for
the
next
year
are
designed
to
protect
that
and
the
analogy
that
I've
been
kicking
around
in
in
my
head
to
try
to
understand
this
is
that
you
know
if
someone
came
over
to
my
home
and
beat
me
up
and
the
punishment
for
that
person
is
that
they
can't
come
to
my
home
anymore.
Well,
that's
a
good
thing
because
they
can't
come
over
me
up
anymore,
but
where's.
E
C
C
Councilman
cells
are
using
a
good
point.
A
lot
of
these
subcommittees
don't
meet
that
often
and
I'm
looking
at
now.
They
don't
really
involve
much
staff.
So
I
guess
to
answer
your
question.
This
is
a
this
is
punitive
when
something
is
done
wrong,
there's
a
consequence
for
it
and
censure,
and
removal
from
boards
is
the
punishment
for
for
doing
so.
C
F
Yeah,
I
mean,
I
think
we
have
to
make
sure
that
staff
feels
safe
and
the
fact
that
there
was
already
a
measure
taken.
You
know
with
limited
access
to
city
hall,
I
think,
speaks
volumes.
None
of
us
were
involved
in
that
conversation
here
on
the
council,
council
and
none
of
us
were
involved
or
triggered
the
investigation.
F
F
I
can
see
just
by
the
participants
that
are
on
tonight
and
I
think
that
it's
serious
and
I
think
resoundingly
what
has
been
said
tonight
is
that
it
would
be
different
if
it
was
one
time
and
the
mayor
had
adhered
to
it
and
we
wouldn't
be
here
and
there
would
be
no
investigation
and
it
would
be
private,
but
you
have
the
highest
elected
official
in
the
city,
a
public
official
who
made
decisions,
and
here
we
are
right.
This
is
the
result
of
those
decisions.
F
So
it's
not
a
lack
of
empathy.
I
already
said
it
earlier.
None
of
us
are
perfect,
but
I
would
agree
with
council
member
hamilton's
suggestion.
I
don't
think
that
the
measures
need
to
go
as
far
as
the
region.
The
the
regional
awards,
don't
involve
our
staff,
but
I
I
would
agree
with
the
removal
from
committees
for
a
year
that
are
local.
E
So
through
the
chair,
I
would
imagine
in
order
to
make
a
motion
we
would
need
to
have.
I
I
thought
about
what
would
happen
once
we
got
to
this
point
in
the
meeting
and
in
order
to
make
a
motion,
we
have
to
have
a
resolution
in
front
of
us
to
to
vote
on,
and
the
wording
needs
to
be
crystal
clear
to
everyone
voting.
E
So
I
took
the
liberty
of
writing
up
like
extremely
simple
resolution
and
but
then
you'll
see
you'll
see
if
I'm
gonna
share
it,
that
the
the
wording
is
lifted
completely
from
the
staff
report
and
if,
if,
if
everyone
is
in
agreement,
I
can
share
my
screen:
have
it
up
on
just
a
blank
powerpoint
slide?
We
can
have
the
resolution
up
there.
E
C
D
Through
the
white
hair
council,
member
tom
hamilton
did
provide
draft
language
for
a
resolution.
I
have
to
study
clerk
put
that
in
our
resolution
template.
I
think
it
would
be
easier
if
the
clerk
shared
her
screen
and
and
dictate
any
language
that
the
city
council
would
like
so
melissa.
Will
you
do
that?
Please.
B
E
B
E
So
I
want
to
make
sure
everyone
sees
what's:
what's
there
already
you'll
see
that
it's,
it's
literally
the
facts
listed
verbatim
from
the
from
the
staff
report,
and
I
mean
it
was
a
little
literal
copy-paste
and
then
for
the
resolution
part
now
and
thank
you
thank
you,
city
clerk
for
adding
in
all
the
warehouses
and
other
things
now,
therefore
be
resolved
at
the
city
council
of
the
city
of
san
bruno.
Oh,
actually,
the
city
council's
in
there
twice
take
that
out.
E
E
I
would
be
fine
with
making
it
making
the
date
because
I
believe
the
date
of
the
of
the
other
sanctions
ends
on
september
3rd
of
2022
and
just
making
the
september
3rd
2022
not
quite
a
year,
but
it's
close
enough,
but
it
would
be
better
to
have
a
specific
date
in
there.
So
that's
crystal
clear:
you
know
what
I
wouldn't
want
there
to
be
any
ambiguity.
C
G
The
resolution
carries
with
it
an
additional
gravitas
that
it
becomes
a
document
of
the
city
that
will
live
on
forever
and
if
that
is
truly
the
intent,
then
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear
to
everyone
that
you
know
this.
It's
I
believe
it's
it's
unusual
for
us
to
do
something
like
this
and
I'm
concerned
about
the
the
fact
that
we
would
that
would
take
this
route,
particularly
and
then
further.
The
other
comment
I
wanted
to
make
is
that
I,
I
really
don't
support
this
action.
G
G
I
was
advised
at
that
point
that
the
city
had
done
everything
that
was
required
and
that
action
from
us
would
absolutely
not
be
required
in
order
to
protect
the
city
to
protect
the
the
staff
to
protect
the
residents.
You
know
there
there's
a
number
of
different
things
that
that
could
have
played
out
in
this.
G
You
know
there
are
bodies
that
have
policies
in
place
for
for
censure
and
in
cases
where
there
is
no
other
recourse.
Censure
is
absolutely
an
appropriate
avenue
for
elected
bodies
to
take,
but
in
this
case
that
I've
mentioned
previously,
the
city
has
taken
action.
Cities,
the
city
staff
did
what
was
required.
G
An
independent
investigation
was
conducted,
findings
were
made
and
there
were
consequences
for
that
that
have
been
implemented,
and
so
I
don't
believe
that
it
is
appropriate
for
us
as
his
colleagues
as
his
peers,
to
go
beyond
that,
and
and
quite
honestly,
I
don't
see
where
these
actions
would
further
protect
staff
from
inappropriate
behavior.
His
conduct,
as
was
mentioned,
hasn't
affected
his
performance
on
regional
boards
and
I
don't
believe
in
any
case,
has
it
affected
performance
in
in
any
of
the
the
that
are
being
discussed
here.
C
I
think
it's
understandable
that
the
council
doesn't
have
to
take
action.
That's
absolutely
correct.
The
city
did
its
part,
did
its
duty
in
protecting
staff.
I'm
of
the
I'm.
I'm
feeling
that
this
council
should
do
something
and
saying
nothing
is
just
that,
so
I'm
in
favor
of
these
rules
from
the
from
the
local
and
and
not
the
regional,
and
is
there
any
other
comments
or
further
discussion
on
this
topic.
E
That's
why
that's
why
we're
here
and
the
regarding
you
know
putting
together
a
resolution
live
on
the
screen
here.
Yes,
that
is
absolutely
unusual,
but
the
other
option
open
to
us
if
we
wanted
it
in
order
to
do
a
resolution
like
this
would
be
for
staff
to
come
back
with
the
wording
event.
We
have
to
do
this
at
another
meeting,
as
I
stated
at
the
beginning,
I
think
it's
important
for
everyone
here
in
the
city
that
we
close
this
matter
tonight
and
move
on.
E
So
that's
why
I
made
the
suggestion
that
we
do
do
it
do
this
this
way,
so
that
we
can
we
can
take,
take
a
vote.
Take
whatever
action
is
necessary,
adjourn
this
meeting
and
that's
the
end
of
it
last
statement.
The
is
that
the
councilmember
cells
are
you
mentioned
that
you
know
the
voters
will
decide
at
the
next
election,
whether
you
know
whether
you
know
how
to
vote.
You
know,
based
on
this
behavior
without
us
convening
tonight,
it's
very
possible
that
no
one
would
have
ever
known
about
this
behavior.
E
C
C
C
D
Mr
vice
mayor,
thank
you.
If
I
may
so,
city
councils
can
take
action
in
three
different
ways.
They
can
make
a
mission,
they
can
adopt
a
resolution
or
they
can
adopt
an
ordinance,
and
obviously
this
is
not
the
latter.
There's
no
words
involved
here,
but
the
two
ways
of
taking
action
would
be
to
make
a
motion
or
adopt
a
resolution
and
in
general,
a
resolution
is
a
more
formal
mechanism
to
memorialize
the
city
council's
action,
and
so
it's
within
the
discretion
of
the
city
council,
to
adopt
a
resolution
that
you
have
in.
