billing. The corrected trash billing file was submitted to the county last week. The county is in the process of uploading the information to the county's Treasurer tax Collector website and we expect

that to be completed today. Property owners with impacted bills higher than they owe will see their corrected amounts tomorrow. The county is currently printing property tax statements which will

begin mailing to property owners in October. The first installment of the property tax bill is not due until NOVEMBER 1st. The city is finalizing new bill inserts which will be included in corrected

property tax abatement mailers for customers with impacted bills higher than they owe. To educate owners of the situation and advising them on what they should do. Those will be double sided in

English and Spanish for customers with impacted bills lower than they owe. There will be additional communication from the city over the next several weeks. The priority will be communication and

maximizing touch points with affected property owners. The esd Contact Center stands ready to assist customers. We've seen a steady uptake in the number of individuals registering for the city's

residential waste collection services portal which can be found at Waste portal that San Diego gop. And as a reminder residents can access that portal at any time to see the correct amount that they

owe for trash service. As New updates are available, the city's Web team will continue updating the online rfq which has been shared with each of your offices. Environmental services are reaching out

directly via email to residents with waste collection portal accounts. Your offices will continue receiving daily updates on the situation and we will keep the council and the public apprized as

coordination with the county continues. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Not seeing anybody else on the lights. Clerk please go over how the public can offer their testimony. Thank you. Council

PRESIDENT I'd like to highlight the slide on the screen that does reveal how the public can offer their testimony during this afternoon's meeting. The order can be found on the agenda summary found

online or at the table in the back of the room If you're in person, please please complete a speaker slip located at the entrance of chambers and bring it to the front of the room. Council ambassadors

are available near the entrance to assist with questions and speaker slips. No further in-person testimony will begin once the council begins virtual testimony. Thank you, Council PRESIDENT. All

right. Thank you. And with that clerk please introduce item 600. Item 600 is 1137 zero page mobile Court appeal of the Environmental Determination Project Number p r j Dash 0573108. If you'd like to

speak on this item now's the time to submit your speaker slip. This item is not subject to the mayor's veto. Thank you, Council PRESIDENT All right. Thank you. City Clerk So before we go to staff we

have Council member Von Wilpert on the line Council members, thank you very much. Council PRESIDENT This is in my council district and it's my understanding that there were some scheduling conflicts

for one or both parties involved in item 600 and it's environmental appeal. So in order to accommodate all parties involved I'd like to make a motion to continue item 600 to the OCTOBER 5th, 2026 City

Council hearing at 2 P.M.. All right. We have a motion for continuance. I will second that motion and with that we will proceed with public comment on the continuation of this item. Now to be very

clear, we're only talking about the continuation of the item. We're not talking about the merits or your opposition to that project. It's not fair to the applicant or the appellant to have those kind

of conversations at this time. If this motion passes this item will be heard on Monday, OCTOBER 5th in which both parties have actually committed to attend at that time. So with that clerk please

proceed with public comment on the continuation of this item. Thank you. We have two speakers have tonight and allegedly Entourage if you'd like to speak to the continuance drive would you like to

speak to the continuance Please come up. You'll have one minute. Please proceed. Yes, PRESIDENT LaCava. Thank you. I approve the continuance and I'm going to say this when you do the continuation

process. Both parties must be willing to come halfway on the issue involved which are the trees. Thank you to all allegedly drunk Yes this is interesting that there's scheduling conflicts It's makes

you wonder who's at fault for that if there was some kind of purposeful taking events taking place that would allow this to then be continue to push it out further There's always seems to be fraud,

waste and abuse kind of intertwined with everything that you guys do And I think you need to be consistent because in your committee meetings you've actually pulled items when Henry Foster was the

chair and spoke on the item actually had deliberation on it with quite significant amount of time being spent. So you guys need to be consistent with that because if you're going to say here you can

only talk about that you can't get into any kind of speaking of that on the item then that needs to go and be across the board because you are not being consistent with that and that doesn't show

trust with the public that does conclude our public comment hearing council chamber going to those participating remotely. Blair Beckman If you can please unmute speaking on the continuance of this

item you'll have one minute Proceed. I thank you. Blair Beekman We have to speak to the continuance items. I do not at all Question You know the good intentions of speaking to a continuance needing

the people there to be a part of the process for additional applicants. But I question within the Brown Act is there something that said something that that if it's a continuance it allows us to speak

towards a continuance and not to the item itself? The Brown Act states have an item hasn't been to a committee or counsel before. The public has a right to speak on it if its agenda is and noted in

the public meeting space. So technically we should be allowed if continuance ideas within the brown Act that state otherwise I hope there are because Councilperson McCall was offered a nice way to

address it and but people MAY want to address the issue the trees and how we need our trees and such so good luck How to better address this issue in the future Finding the legal language more

formally and officially and report back here would be nice. A public meeting space thank you has concluded That concludes public comment on this item. All right so we do have a motion by council

member Von Wolpert and second by myself to continue the item to Monday, OCTOBER 5th, 2026. Is there any comments or any dialog with my council Not seeing any? Clerk Please call the roll Start the

voting system please cast your vote. Council member Von Wilpert If I MAY have your vote for the record I vote yes and that passes unanimously 9 to 0. Thank you, Council PRESIDENT All right. Thank you.

City Clerk We will now proceed with the approval of the consent items. Are there any requests to pull an item off of consent by the council not seeing any such request. Clerk Please proceed with

public comment. Thank you. Council PRESIDENT We do have several speakers here. I will note that speakers will have one minute per item per person. If you would like to speak on three or more items you

will have a maximum of three minutes. The consent agenda includes items 601 through 614 Also let me note for the record the potential appointments and reappointment that are on the agenda this

afternoon. Item six is the potential appointment of Artemus Houghton to the Commission of Gang Prevention Intervention item six and nine as a potential appointment of John Cuthbertson to the San Diego

Commission on Prevention and Intervention and also 611 the appointment you commission. I like to start off by saying I come here as friend. I came here spoke many times. I opened a can of worms. I

spoke about some things that very much concern concern our community concern all of us. And I come here as your friend You are elected officials. One of the things I spoke about was the Mafia is

hijacking our federal government and agencies Now this commission on Gang Prevention and Intervention we need it. We have a lot of work to do. I also spoke about the Chinese espionage that was on the

thing the entire time and taking our country of neither of those should be tolerated And I say not the Mafia's fault Of course they have taken the keys to our country So as in Washington dc that

allowed it But now we've got to pick up the pieces. Elected officials did I ask you that We work with prevention gang prevention intervention team What are we going to do? What are we going to do to

fix things? Morpheus Hijacking of federal government agency seriously affected this this community San Diego that you represent And also speaking on 611 the appointment of the youth Commission and the

Youth Commission is very important that I fight for these future. So do you You represent their future. We're going to need them as well. We've got to fix folks. We've got a lot to work on and this

602 Yes on the contract with Skanska the us is a little shaky. I didn't have a chance to look at my notes from before but I think they're very under representative but the rest of it is pretty

commissions And I just love all these people that are willing to serve on these board of supported commissions And I did look at every single item and see if I can remember this game . There's sd sirs

there's another one I love games sd Serve seniors Maybe there's one on one or another one. I just love love, love. So anyway it was a fat consent agenda. I really worked hard on it just this morning

and it was a photo finish So hope it made sense. I really appreciate you listening and love to all. Thank you. So Taylor, if you can please come up you're speaking on item 6o7. You'll have one minute.

Please proceed. Thank you, MR. Taylor. I support declaring these properties exempt surplus. i spoke at this item in age and I want to thank Johnny Romero for his attention. My comments there I see the

city made a few changes to the report and the exhibit but some issues still remain one about Bunker Hill. The acreage was changed and Exhibit a so it appears the city is declaring only part of the

site surplus leaving an adjoining piece of property behind If that land is no longer needed why leave the city with a remnant It MAY still have to maintain Or will there be a future action on it? I've

also submitted written comments with an expanded Exhibit eight and the maps that you a better perspective on the size of these properties and how they fit with surrounding ownership. I hope future

reports from the department will provide the same basic context as it provides greater transparency and helps council and the public understand these properties. I don't see at this time but I also

worked for the city for 41 years and real estate assets So thank you. Thank you Maximilian Schmidt If you can please come forward or begin all the items on the consent agenda 601 through 614 You'll

have three minutes. Please proceed. Hi, my name is Max and Schmidt opened homeless in San Diego for the past two years and I'm opposed to item 60123 item 614. And I believe that the San Diego City

government should be shut down because I've been suffering greatly from mind control and it is and needs to be exposed and the government and the government needs to be shut down until it's exposed.

And I hate liberals and I think they're demons and my life is not a game. As for item six, I want the approval of the council minutes. I believe there should be a lie detector test given to everyone

on City council on if they believe the military should intervene to restore the Second Amendment in California and on if they do not believe so I believe there should be can separate the

constitutionalists from the traitors on And I'll speak more about what I mean when I say the mind control victim during my non agenda Public comment on item six Support the domestic violence shelters.

I'm currently staying in a homeless shelter and getting severely tortured by armed feds who are pretending to talk to each other and then speaking my thoughts out loud and speaking constant gibberish

and I'm actually tortured worse in the homeless shelter than outside the homeless shelter And I've been homeless for two years and I just got into a homeless shelter a few months ago and after

sleeping on the hard ground for two years I'm fighting for my life to not leave the shelter on because it's nice to be able to finally lay on a bed. I'm actually I believe I'm blackballed from every

company in San Diego. I've had 30 interviews and they torture me at interviews and i don't go to single job for items six a by the river bed encampment I believe maybe we could have a homeless shelter

in fascist liberal cities where the homeless can check their drugs in at the door and then that way you can get everyone off the streets because a lot of one of the biggest reasons there are homeless

encampments is because people aren't allowed to take their drugs into the shelter. And I believe that idea can help people. I was with the Gang Prevention the Freemason Fraternal organization and the

Liberals are a gang of demons and I hate the new York Times have concluded Thank you allegedly order if you can please come forward You're speaking on am 604605 6 or 7 601602603 and 612 You'll have

three minutes. Please proceed. But real quick I need to call a point of order because what Blair was saying was actually correct if the item hasn't been spoken on before but you call the item then

that means it's being addressed and therefore we don't have to necessarily confine our comments to it being postponed or continued. So I just want us to I know you guys want to follow the Brown Act

now so I think we need to make sure that our attorney is aware of these things because I'm finding that they're not ensuring that you guys aren't violating the law And it's very easy to find out. I

just you know, all you have to do is pay attention. So I'm hoping that you guys can course correct. Okay. So on the approval of the minutes you know when you guys on MAY 12th it says I commented on

calling out the quorum on 511 you wants a quorum and so you trail virtual comment to the next day And so I wanted to just say that I'm calling out a quorum that doesn't really explain what I'm saying

and I think there needs to be more that I'm calling out that you didn't have a quorum or things like that. I mean there's different words that could be added and I feel like when you're just saying

I'm calling out a quorum that's like what What does that mean? And that happens a lot. And then with this wastewater disposal agreement I think we need to be thinking about making wastewater into

power instead of giving it back to us as a water source especially when we're selling water that is clean water. It doesn't make any sense to me. These domestic violence shelters It's very concerning

because I know women that have tried to get help from these entities and they've actually been turned away And that's very dangerous when they're in need of some kind of an emergency help. And so we

need to make sure that that's not happening If we're claiming that we're actually helping people with the Riverbed encampment resolution, you know, we're sitting here and penalizing people for you

guys not having shelters for them to go into and or places. And so, you know, instead of helping them, you know, we're punishing them and putting them in jail because they don't take a shelter But

that is not offered to them because it's not available. And so maybe instead of cleaning them up I understand we need to keep these encampments clean but how about you have them go clean them up ,get

rid of the trash and make it something more presentable until you guys can go in there and make sure that they have a shelter to go into because people are all over the streets at night. I mean like

Max was saying, they do do drugs much of them and they'll stay on the street because they can sit there and smoke meth or heroin or you know, do fentanyl. I mean we say I'm like bending over. I don't

know. That's not a natural thing And it's just sad that kids have to be around downtown and see people bent over or taking you know, crafts like right in front of restaurants. I mean it's just it's

really embarrassing and it's not safe for children and all of this surplus land This one is interesting. I feel like, you know, you could offer it since they're such small plots that it could be

offered to the people nearby if they wanted to potentially add it to their property to do something beneficial. Could you say that you know, you need to see if it's going to be for affordable housing.

It's never going to work for that And so it allows you to then you know, put it up to kind of anybody And I feel like the people nearby need to be the ones that are offered it up and not for some

crazy amount just so I can get used instead of you guys having to pay money or us to take care of it. And with this appointment to the Climate Advisory Board I think we need to be considering people

who talk about whether modification and geoengineering. Thank you have started the five minute timer going to those participating remotely starting with crypto Bradley if you can please let me know

which item or items you wish to speak to. I like to speak to 60264608 and 612 please. Thank you. Have three minutes Please proceed. Go on a6o2 the Del Mar Bridge You know that bridge is going to

benefit our properties That owes a lot of money that are taking advantage of the city like the soccer fields and the golf course There really does by the kind of thing. We could turn that bridge into

its old bridge like the bridge over Central Bay They used to charge people to go across to pay for the bridge So to get back at those other guys have taken us for a ride. We keep charging golf for

each soccer person that goes to the bridge We can charge you a $20 toll just to make it even with those guys with the leases we gave them away just like they did at the San Diego Bay going the huge

bridge there We're not up. They had that thing going on for years when I was a kid and stuff I saw what they built that so we could do it back to those guys And we should do the same thing for

SeaWorld too. They took us for 70 million. We own the roads to get into zero. We could put a toll booth there Anyway it gets back to 607 the land they only lease the land that land in bay Park They

can chew into the wall like they did in Mission Valley. They shoot into those walls like and down like way deep. It's like a seven story building there That property is worth a fortune. We just sell

it outright to apartment builders like they haven't Mission Valley now on Fire Road side It's not Mission Valley it's the Friars Road Canyon Both sides with this eight story building it's like you're

walking through a drive into a canyon Now that is not no more Mission Valley but it's getting really big there now on the gang things It's okay. The gangs are like I think that last shooting down at

the trolley was gang related and they're trying to say it wasn't But the one kid that got killed had a gun on and it looks like in the video he drew down on those two other guys and they had guns and

they shot at him. Those are the guys that shot the guns. So I think that was like you kind of push it on the table because you don't want everybody to bang or some kind of police thing. Black Lives

Matter, you know, instead of just giving 30 million try to quiet it all up with the gang things the black guys they know the guys on the bench of the gangs. They're the experts that a white guy would

know what to do with them But and then on to 612 the climate change thing it's somebody get a couple guys on the board that don't go for the climate change votes you know just like you know that's a

poll snag Some guys are on the other side of the fence. It's not the guys that are doing climate change climate change. Thanks a lot for your time. Thank you. And next is Blair Brinkman. If you can

please unmute and let me know which item or items you wish to speak to. All right. Item 6036 12 Please proceed. You have three minutes. Thank you. These are a bunch of new upcoming commissions

appointments and I just wanted to thank yourselves for the commission process that you know, I've gotten some reminders that the San Diego Commission process actually does some pretty interesting good

work and how they try to connect with community and with government and works as an important voice in that process. And coming from San Jose there was a little bit of redundancy of how commissions

work and sometimes they're just kind of gets a fifth. We all kind of thing We're not really that needed sometimes and it seems like you guys make the efforts that for vibrancy in the commission isn't

it isn't a live active process and thank you for that It's important I wish commissions had a little bit we have to develop a very delicate language in what commissions can offer government and

community and I wish those words can be a bit stronger sometimes but we can make sense out of what they what they can do in the current language you use. So good luck How we continue to develop Just

the commissions can have an important voice and it's a really important part of our process. Thank you. Our public process I wanted to note in our public process that this past Thursday, SEPTEMBER

24th, the Transportation Committee meeting had an item involving neighborhood tech. This meeting was canceled because of lack of qualm in the many awkward conversations with absent council persons

After this meeting cancellation I'm assuming I hope we are all better understanding that in this fall election time of 2026 open friendly tech dialog from all community sides is knowledge and

information sharing and how we can grow together in San Diego towards our best neighborhood public safety and more responsible tech accountability practices into 2027 a real good opportunity. A public

dialog was missed at that meeting and I hope we can make up to that and that our public process boy it really can be a really good thing. Let's let's hope we can treat it well and respect it a lot.

Thank you. Thank you. Our final speaker is Natalie Raskin. The five minute timer has concluded here in council chambers Not only Raskin which item are items you wish to speak to but I'm speaking on

the encampment and you that youth commissions. You'll have two minutes. Please proceed. Okay So on the encampment it reports that 134 people were served 17 long term housing and over $3 million spent.

That's about 48,000 per person housed in San Diego Rent that covers under two years for one bedroom. What happens when these subsidies end? I'm in that kind of predicament. Where are the other 48

people? Were they temporary with a shelter? How long is long term housing defined? How many of the 70 are still house today? Where did the other 48 go? Those are questions that concern me. I've been

recently reading Air Seattle's Ethics and Aristotle wrote that we become just by doing just acts and break by doing Brave ones character is built through practice, he said Lawmakers make citizens good

by forming their habits. That is the difference between a good government and a bad one. So look at what the top practices when federal leadership models bad habits how are we expected to follow or

even listen? People learn what they see not what they're told. The habit runs downhill from Washington to this council to our neighborhoods Council members you can't control the top. You can control

what you practice here And I'm hoping that we set good examples so that you can follow. Thank you. Thank you. That concludes public comment for this item. All right. Thank you very much City Clerk

culture And over to my colleagues for questions, comments and entertain a motion. We'll go first to Councilmember Campbell and then we'll go next to Councilmember Vaughn Wolford. Council member

Campbell thank you very much. Council PRESIDENT I would like to move the consent agenda and I would like to speak especially to item 612 which is the reappointment of Christina marquez to the Climate

Advisory Board. She's a resident of Ocean Beach in my district too. She's willing to be reappointed to the Climate Advisory Board. She's an environmental organizer with the International Brotherhood

of Electrical Workers Local 569. She advances renewable energy advocacy and climate policy efforts. She previously served as outreach coordinator for the Electrical Training Institute of San Diego and

Imperial Counties. Her Bachelors of Science degrees from San Diego State and given her experience in energy and climate I support the reappointment of Christina marquez to the Climate Advisory Board

and I appreciate her willingness to continue to serve. Thank you. Council PRESIDENT All right. Thank you. Council members. We have a motion by Council member Campbell to move the consent items. We'll

go next to council member Von Alpert. Thank you Council PRESIDENT And I will second the motion. I have a few comments on item 611 the appointment of the Youth Commission. I want to thank Charlotte

Bart for stepping up to serve our city and represent the young people on our youth commission. Charlotte has already demonstrated an impressive commitment to leadership and public service including

serving as her associate a student body PRESIDENT Leading community service efforts to support families in need and organizing a financial literacy literacy workshop for foster youth transitioning

into adulthood. It is inspiring to see a young person so dedicated to giving back to our community and making a difference in the lives of others. Thank you Charlotte for bringing your energy

leadership and passion for service to the Youth Commission and I look forward to seeing all that you accomplished during your term on item 613 I have an honorary street renaming in recognition of

Marty Judge way on the 515 600 block of Avenida Souto and Kim Anita Corrientes According to San Diego Miscible Code 1.1 25.1130. Today we have the honor of recognizing Marty Judge a long time Rancho

Bernardo community leader whose dedication to public service, civic engagement and volunteerism spans more than three decades. Since 1989, Marty has played an instrumental role in shaping Rancho

Bernardo from serving on the Rancho Bernardo Community Council and leading the San Diego State University Continuing Education Center to serving as PRESIDENT Of the Rancho Bernardo Rotary Club and

Business Association. Marty has consistently stepped forward to serve his community. His contributions extend far beyond leadership positions He helped establish the annual Christmas Tree and Menorah

lighting ceremony He chaired Rancho Bernardo 45th and 50th birthday celebrations and has spent more than two decades supporting the Rancho Bernardo Veterans Memorial Association. He also helped

establish our annual Hats Off to Volunteers award ceremony recognizing the individuals and organizations whose service strengthens the Rancho Bernardo community. And more recently he founded the

Rancho Bernardo Town Hall Speaker series Creating Opportunities for residents to engage in meaningful civic dialog. He has also been a huge part of the continuing Education Center and has invited

wonderful public speakers up and down San Diego to come speak and educate residents no matter how young they are in life. And throughout his years of service, Marty has received numerous honors

including induction to the Rancho Bernardo Hall of Fame two California State Assembly resolution recognizing his outstanding community service and the outstanding Eagle Scout Award as a Girl Scout who

earned my Gold Award, I'm very proud to be in his company. But Marty's greatest accomplishment is not any single award or position. It's actually the lasting impact he's made on the people,

organizations and institutions that make Rancho Bernardo such a special place to call home. I am also very honored to call Marty a dear friend and today's honorary street renaming is a recognition of

that legacy and a lasting tribute to a citizen who has devoted so much of his civic life to serving others. Thank you. That concludes my comments. All right. Thank you, council members. So with that

we have a motion by Councilmember Campbell, the second by council member Paul Wolpert to move the consent items. We'll go next to council member Moreno Thanks. I have comments on item 6o7 declaring

six city owned parcels exempt surplus land. I didn't support this item during the land use and housing meeting we had this a few weeks ago and I've consistently been opposed to the sale of city owned

land at city owned land is a limited public asset and once we sell it we can't just simply get it back. I'm concerned that the focus is primarily on identifying city properties that could be released

and ultimately sold to generate revenue rather than first determining how these properties could provide a long term public benefit to our communities. The fact that there wasn't a city department

that identified a need for these parcels doesn't mean that there's going to be that there will not be a future need for them and instead we should be thinking about affordable housing. We should be

thinking about future parks, open space and community facilities that might be needed in the future. While I do understand that this action does not authorize an actual sale, I do understand that

declaring these parcels exempt for surplus land will move a step closer to the final sale of these properties. The city's needs are going to continue to grow and public land should not be viewed as

just transaction tional And for these reasons and to be consistent with my long standing position I will record a no vote on item 6 or 7 and support the balance of the consent agenda. Thank you

Council PRESIDENT. That concludes my comments. All right. Thank you, Councilmember Moreno. We'll go next to Council member Whitman Thank you. Council PRESIDENT. I just want to congratulate and thank

Artemus Soriano, our district three representative to the Commission on Gang Prevention and Intervention on her appointment She currently serves in the Office of State Senator Steve Padilla where she

leads the senators portfolio and by national and regional issues affecting the San Diego to our region including cross-border public safety, economic cooperation and community partnerships with

experience serving in the us Senate, us House of Representatives and other state. Her work makes her an excellent fit for the Commission. We thank her for serving in this role and we thank everybody

being appointed to boards and commissions today for their service to our city. Thank you Council PRESIDENT All right. Thank you. And I see the office of the city attorney is on the line. Thank you

Council PRESIDENT For the record on item 607I did wish to point out that we identified a typographical error in the resolution in item d the acreage for Marina Boulevard and Bunker Hill should be

identified as.05 and in f the property located near Sweetwater Road should be identified in as 0.29 acres And if the item passes we will submit a corrected resolution after the meeting. Thank you. All

right. Making no assumptions the Councilmember Campbell made the motion and Councilmember Brown Wolpert having heard that, do you have any issues with that Sounds good to me. Sounds good. Okay, double

check it or not See anybody else Lights I too will jump in and congratulate Charlotte Locke for your appointment to the Youth Commission. Councilmember Obama Wolpert took the words right out of my

mouth You have a lengthy Despite your age you have a lengthy and impressive resum\ So far we can only imagine what you will do in your future years and you obviously are a very busy person and

certainly appreciate your willingness to step up to the youth commission. As you MAY have heard and if you haven't let me share that we are working to allow the Youth Commission to hold their meetings

virtually because we know for the folks on the commission it can be difficult to attend meetings downtown or at some venue. So hopefully we'll get news on that very, very shortly and we'll certainly

convey that to you. But again, thank you for your willingness to step up to youth. It's so very important that we get voices from a variety of directions and I appreciate your willingness to share

northeast portion of East Village bounded by Parkville Bar to I-5 and b Street to Market Street. This area is bordered by Balboa Park Golden Hill, Barrio Logan and downtown. Request number one is for

a drug free school zone enforcement. I request enforcement of applicable California drug laws including provisions concerning specified drug offenses occurring on or within the statutory distance of

school grounds. There are 10 to 15 encampments located within 1000ft of these schools including Garfield High School, San Diego State or excuse me San Diego Community College and the Urban Discovery

excuse me the Urban Discovery Charter located at 13th and e i request the installation of drug free zone signage in this area and also and also a lawful assessment and abatement of a cap ment's which

violate the applicable health, safety, sanitation or public right of way requirements. I included photographs of the encampment and other documents with my public comment. Request number two is for

green space and ground restoration Running along the end of 16th Street at e Street is an approximately 160 foot strip of dirt shown in Exhibit a of my documents attached where ongoing dog waste has

degraded the area I request appropriate grandmaster ation including grass plants, rock or other suitable treatment. I also request trimming of overgrown vegetation along this fence line in the area

which provides concealed areas for drug use inspection of two damaged young trees and appropriate maintenance of this prominent gateway leaving downtown. I appreciate the work of get it done in the

clean and safe teams Conditions of measurably improved in the recent weeks. Thanks so much for consideration. Thank you. Kate Killen My comment is about the news we just got about San Diegans being

overcharged on their property tax bills for trash fees. I never thought I would come to City Hall to speak up for Todd Gloria but he does not deserve all or even most of the blame for this fiasco His

failures as mayor and there have been quite a few are your failures as a city council your job was to check his strong mayor powers You were supposed to be the guardrails that kept him from driving

the city into the ditch And with the exception of Councilmember Campo, you have failed at that. You have rubber stamped pretty much everything he sent to you. You echoed his talking points. You

praised his leadership And when your constituents filled this chamber and said to you don't give him what he wants, this is this is not going to work out. You just shined us on You treated us as if we

were annoying. We came in here and we said no to paid parking in Balboa Park. We said no to closing the restrooms in Mission Bay. We said that the bait and switch trash fees were too high and you just

dismissed us And then you had to walk those decisions back decisions that you never should have made in the first place. And let me point out that if you had conducted a reduction in the city

workforce which is a standard practice for governments dealing with budget crises, we in better shape now and you wouldn't have to be grabbing at stray dollars. I'm going to end with a request to

Council PRESIDENT LaCava Councilmember Campo has suggested this week in an editorial we needed open council meeting a special session that just focuses on what went wrong and the mayor needs to be

there now You may find MR. Campo annoying because he breaks ranks with you a lot but he's dead right about this. We need an open hearing. We need to know what's happened. Don't just brush this under

the rug. Don't do that again. Thank you. Jacob Lewis. Edwards All right. The first start out by commending the police department for the fine work they're doing there around the presence around the

library and they're cleaning up the city and it's really making a difference. It provides social order and safety and social order is very important. I'm here today non agenda public comment to speak

about the Neil Davidson r that is a resource center that provides a place for homeless folk to go during the day provide social order is people don't want to be out in the street all day shuffle from

block to block and that resource center provides resources such as a place to do laundry, food donations come in there, health care insurers, providers and these homeless folk need that resource

center . The community needs social order and I think that we would all agree I think you would agree that we will support our homeless community. I think we would all agree that we want to provide

social order to our community. So with that I'm asking you to please consider I recommend that you reconsider the 2027 budget to include funding for the Neil Davidson or we need that center city needs

that center and the homeless people need that center. So please behind closed doors discuss or find a way to fund locally fund that center. Federal money was held over Father Joe's head so it involved

that center and it's something I'm confronting not going to bring it forth to city council but let's show locally we're going to support this center and we don't tolerate federal money held over

organizations. Thank you for that concluding comment Max as a bribery effect. Thank you. Thank you. Maximilian Schmidt. After that our final two speakers hearing Council chambers I have submitted

speaker slips are Joyce Kenyatta and allegedly Andre. Hi. I just want to start by saying I've been tortured in psych ward Psych wards very severely and want to sit and want to say what I'm

experiencing in San Diego There be visions of the devil and demons when I close my eyes and I just also wanted to make a point to say I hate liberals and I think they are demons and that includes city

council. They're constantly the demons in my peripheral vision making weird gestures and constant inaudible gibberish I'm getting tortured pretty severely. People constantly invading my personal space

and darting at me around corners and treating me like I'm invisible and I have to jump out of the way and feels like happens hundreds of times a day And there are police sirens in conjunction of my

private thoughts It feels like hundreds of times of day and even though I'm Christian and no Jesus the judge people will teleport in front of me and literally appearing into thin air and then say Long

live the Messianic empire and that they're going to chop my soul in a box of fire after I die. And there are always random boxes in my path everywhere I walk it's childish and stupid If I somehow

escape people in gibberish by going to public park I'll hear a voice going Ah and one of the worst things is I can't eat food because I'm possessed by the devil and start swallowing like crazy if I

try to eat food. So I just eat yogurt So I just eat yogurt and if I try to eat any type of food I end up having to spit it out because of this liberal liberal demons controlled by the Rothschild is

make me here, make my ears pop randomly and give me bad headaches And people will say enjoy the headaches. Then I'll get migraines. They'll say enjoy glass or dust in your eyes and I have to wash my

eyes out like ten times a day a term or mco And it was so random I think it was black magic. I hear liberals saying Good for you. GOD wants you to suffer and now I have to walk with a limp on it. They

say GOD wanted you to suffer for the craft GOD when you suffer for Freemasonry my heart rhubarb abnormally when my ears pop and people say We're going to stop your heart and put your soul in a box of

fire And then like I said random boxes my path I liberals are demons. I hate these people. I hate liberals. I hate I hate them. I think they're demons. I've had 30 job interviews in the last two years

and they torture me The job interviews I think I'm blackballed from the market. I've been stranded in San Diego for the past two years. Troy Sonata First of all Koehler, thank you for the update on

the trash free billing. That was very informative. So last week the 80 and I meeting was adjourned because of a lack of quorum. So what I decided to do today is to speak my non agenda public comment

that wasn't able to be heard at that meeting. So here we go. All right. From Google definition of soft infrastructure the Nonphysical systems organization's rules and human capital that supports

community life core purpose uphold social order, public health, education and economic stability and governance. Key example from me today on my focus on this area is human infrastructure. Physical

infrastructure. Sheer assets cannot function without the skills, knowledge and labor of the people behind them Also known as human infrastructure. For me the best mechanic to support our sd City

employees is it's a framework of explicit city values. This is why I am so excited about pandas draft performance management principles and practices Plan with their core focus on key p ai and their

application of the Audit department finding on this matter. I am also excited of course that they are partnering with d r e the Department of Racing Equity during public watch for pandas Online Public

comments next month. Let's hear you have to hear you roar again okay that you're good at boring love to allegedly address if you can please come forward. So interesting to watch your guys's behaviors

when somebody comes up and says something that's appalling when or if you're going to comment on it or let it stand as fact. What happens between you guys and the mayor anyway? Yeah, it's just

interesting People who want to change your behaviors you get to watch theirs And yeah, it's interesting Anyhow, you know with that 80 Anni meeting that was delayed it's a little concerning. There were

emergency repairs that seem to be delayed. Does that affect that Because it's not going to be until like the end of OCTOBER and there's some things that need to be worked on And then thinking about

that with the gas prices and diesel prices going up and diesel shortages like I continued to tell you guys it's concerning what this looks like for projects like that emergency repairs and being able

to make sure that we're continuing to do repairing of infrastructure. And again, you know, I don't know what's going to happen on OCTOBER 1st but they're potential It could be a strike, you know, and

it's like the news doesn't necessarily want to talk about those things but whether there is a strike or there isn't, there will be more and more shortages and it could just be for short periods of

time if there is a delay and it's being delivered or you know, maybe you know it's not being able to be delivered. But I think these things that we need to think about again because of the storms that

are coming and your ability to have a fire truck go in and you know, save somebody in an emergency and get them out of, you know, some treacherous water or the, you know, heavy duty equipment that you

guys have that would use this type of fuel. And so again, it's like I mean that shouldn't fall upon deaf ears And when these things are looming, what are you doing about it Again, don't wait till it's

too late and somebody loses their life because we don't have the ability to go and save them. Thank you for that concluding remark. I started as a five minute timer going to those participating

remotely. We currently have 11 speakers in the queue starting with Blair Beckman. If you can please unmute my my thank you for Beekman to state simply I feel we're at the point that San Diego City

government and community can be developing practices to begin to leave the Apple vendor flock by the end of 2027. A simple thank you Now to everyone's efforts in San Diego and across the country to

make clear that Park is possibly overly serving the war industry and law enforcement and that its current policies and practices are not very accountable to both the everyday community person and to

local governments themselves. I have been speaking here for months now that I hope all sides of our San Diego community this fall can be working together in shared dialog and respect towards our

future neighborhood public safety and tech use in San Diego And so all of us can grow, evolve into more clearly address and to better understand together issues like why San Diego MAY soon be leaving

the air vendor flock and listening to the needs of how to better create our future . San Diego San Diego Neighborhood Public Safety Our Future Community Conversation is simply need to be more about

neighborhood social services and that our neighborhood tech use is a continually evolving growing process a better tech accountability, responsible practices, public oversight and community

participate in and leaving flock. I ask our San Diego community to better consider an ongoing continuing list of upcoming tech accountability developments including how there can be a more open public

process each year to eliminate redundant tech placed in the neighborhood and that less tech more strategically placed in a neighborhood can usually offer the same amounts of neighborhood public safety

help good natured, well intentioned public safety and tech conversations from all sides during this fall election time of 2026 can simply translate into a smarter, friendlier, more knowledgeable, more

open and accountable San Diego community process in 2027. Thanks for your time. Good luck. We can have good conversations about the future how to address the your good Day center. Thank you. Thank you

Barbara Gordon If you can please unmute me. Thank you. As a public health educator I wanted to urge the city Council to advance an ordinance that would create a citywide standard for smoke and vape

free outdoor dining areas. My concern is the increase in amount of toxic secondhand smoke in the air from vaping marijuana or cigaret use. It's practically everywhere not just in outdoor dining.

According to the California Adult Tobacco Survey, e-cigarette secondhand exposure increased more than 65% in two years than marijuana. Secondhand smoke nearly double again there is no safe level of

exposure to secondhand smoke. Really I urge the city to enact even newer and stricter smoke free policies policies in all public spaces. Everyone has the right to breathe clean air Yet I find myself

constantly exposed to toxic secondhand smoke. Any exposure can be harmful especially to children. The consequences of secondhand smoke exposure are severe and really can lead to health issues such as

cancer, strokes, serious respiratory illness and heart disease. Really the public is asking for your leadership in addressing the rise in secondhand smoke in the city, limiting the number of places

where people are allowed to smoke would make San Diego a healthier and more enjoyable place to call home. Thank you for letting me speak . Thank you. Next is Terry and Scully. If you can please

unmute. Good afternoon San Diego City Council Chair McCarver. I came this afternoon because I worked hard to clear my schedule last Thursday to speak to the active transportation and infrastructure

Committee which was eventually canceled after 20 minutes when it was clear that City council persons von Wilborn and Foster weren't going to show up. I guess I would remind the Council that it is

election time. I'm a parent and a volunteer for many youth programs which strive to improve health and safety for teens and young adults. Information has just come in last Thursday from the Journal of

American Medical Association or jama related to traffic safety. The article was another study about the frequent use of marijuana and damaging the brain's working memory and its effect on driving

performance. The lead study author described the working memory as the ability to retain information for a short period of time and use it. The following example the article shared seemed to be

applicable to the city and services it provides. If you checked your blind spot when driving down the road then you look back in front of you. You need to remember what you just saw in the blind spot

from your working memory. Before you can make a good decision if you want to change lanes or not So you can imagine how much marijuana impaired driving affects the driver and consequently all of us

and the services that the city will provide. When there is a tragic accident. Thank you for hearing my concerns this afternoon. Thank you. And if you can please unmute I'm here. Hello? Yes, Please

proceed. Okay. Counselors My name is Dave Nicol. I am a homeowner in 92115 and I run the infrastructure watchdog platform Sandy sd and city disasters.Com. This is for the record four years is

administration has handled aggressive 80 you density bonuses to private developers under the false promise that the free market would create stable housing. Instead your policies have invited a wave

of hyper leveraged corporate flippers funded by high interest private lenders. Today this house of cards is completely imploding following the catastrophic $18 million collapse of Christine Spicer of

sdr. The next domino is falling. Public records show that waypoint development and Brian Rucker have officially hit notices of default on their density projects including 6119 Broadway street in

Encanto 2932 Ocean View Boulevard and the former childhood home of baseball legend Ted Williams for 1 to 1 Utah street where the entire backyard was paved over and then crammed for extra luxury units

onto the lot. Now this speculative high interest private financing is completely running out of steam hitting defaults across our neighborhoods. When one developer has run out of private cash, they

default, walk away and leave Taxpayers stuck living next to half the construction eyesores and neighborhood blight. Worse to build these loophole projects, developers like Daniel Skolnick at 6730

Mohawk St are hiring hostile cut rate outfits like Excel Construction and now Exelis. This construction this contractor has a documented history of neighborhood hostility against shortcuts and safety

shortcuts. I know by example because I had to work with them. They are actively erecting dangerous Boeing and unanchored three story scaffolding right now right next door at 6738 Mohawk. We are done

letting corporate developers cheat our quiet established neighborhoods like a high risk casino. We demanded an immediate independent audit of the city's aew program. Thank you. Thank you Mike Schmidt

If you can please unmute. Hello you everyone that I MISS Including Joe the Curran Diana and MISS Campbell. I MISS You guys and I wanted to point out one thing that I feel that needs to be done as a

way to be re asphalt and also doing that for sure. But anyway I will get back to you any time that you guys want and I just didn't have a good one. Thank you MADAM. Q If you can please unmute. Hello.

Good afternoon Council members . I would also want to commend the Community and Neighborhood Services Committee for passing the ordinance to make outdoor dining areas smoke free. That is an important

step toward protecting public health and creating healthier shared spaces for everyone in our community. I do believe that smoke free multi-unit housing could be a natural next step for families

living in apartments, condos and other shared housing. There is often no way to control the air inside their own home. Smoke can travel through walls, vents, hallways, balconies and other shared

spaces. Children can be exposed while sleeping in their bedrooms or playing in their living rooms even when their own family doesn't choose to smoke. There is also an equity issue here because people

with lower incomes are more likely to live in multi-unit housing and therefore are more likely to face secondhand smoke exposure. Clean indoor air should not be a privilege reserved for people who can

afford a single family home. And today families MAY be dealing with more than traditional cigaret smoke because indoor vaping and cannabis smoke can also introduce harmful pollutants into shared

indoor environments. As San Diego continues to build more housing and increase residential density, we should make sure our policies protect not only access to housing but also residents health and

quality of life once they are there. Smoke free multi-unit housing is a practical way to protect children. Reduce exposure to secondhand smoke, reduce fire risk and create healthier communities. As a

mother raising young children in multi-unit housing, I know how meaningful it is for families to have a home where they can feel confident that the air their children breathe is safe. Thank you for

taking this into consideration. Thank you. Thank you. Next to Walker if you can please unmute. Thank you. Good afternoon. I'm joining the chorus and commending the Community Neighborhoods and Services

Committee for taking leadership and bringing forth the proposed ordinance for smoke free outdoor dining. I urge the remainder of the Council to seriously consider the health and other benefits of this

proposed ordinance and vote in favor if you will, during 15 out of 19 jurisdictions in our county and 400 municipal maladies statewide that already have similar ordinances as part of the County

Tobacco Free Coalition. I support this ordinance because it's good for both public health and the environment. It will support public health by reducing secondhand smoke exposure and outdoor dining at

establishments while protecting nonsmoking diners, children and outdoor service staff from toxic tobacco and vape chemicals. It would benefit the environment by helping reduce toxic tobacco products,

litter and the growing and costs of clean up and disposal. It will help lower fire risks associated with lithium ion batteries and single use vapes and e-cigs that can spontaneously explode. Too often

those vapes are casually discarded in appropriately presenting costly hazardous waste cleanup problems for the city. This proposal is a win win for the public. The environment and waste management

reduction. Please vote in favor. Thank you. Thank you. Natalie Raskin If you can please unmute. Hi Natalie. Russian Aristotle again. He wrote the actions we take willingly earn praise or blame actions

forced on us or in parties sometimes even in pity. He said students of ethics must know where the line falls and it matters most to legislators deciding honors and punishment. An act is forced only

when the cause is outside of us. The person contributes nothing but being blown off course by the win is forced. Ignorance also matters. Pity separates two kinds. Not knowing the right moral principle

is not an excuse Not knowing the particular facts of the situation can be. He says people who give into pleasure or pressure can't blame outside forces for it. It's absurd, he wrote. To take credit

for your good acts and blame circumstances for your shameful ones. He also added that sometimes people are pardoned when the pressure is more than human nature can bear. But some acts you must refuse

even constitute everything. So I ask when policy harms people. Who owns it? Pressure is not compulsion. When we are participating in a space where our moral compass is off track, who do we blame? Who

do we look to? We have to start looking at ourselves and what's morally correct what's just How do we follow and keep going through our everyday? When our top tier is extremely unjust and not

accountable I have children to raise. I want them to participate in their community. But who Who do we look to? We look within ourselves and we have to ask ourselves Are we morally doing the right

thing? Thank you. Thank you. Next is Becky Wrap if you can please. I'm you. Good afternoon. My name is Becky Rapp and I want to begin by recognizing the members of the public who continue to show up

and speak out about the city's budget deficit. I especially appreciate the recent comment and update regarding the residential trash charge. These are important conversations and when residents are

being asked to pay more not not just for trash but all over San Diego I've been asking for a for a full transparent audit of the city's cannabis business tax program including taxes owed interest owed

penalties owed and payments actually collected and outstanding balances. As a reminder, under the city's own rules unpaid cannabis taxes can result in a 25% penalty plus a 1.5% monthly interest and an

additional 25% penalty if the taxes remain unpaid for more than a month. So my question is how much money is actually outstanding and how much has the city collected? There's been discussion that

potentially millions of dollars could be sitting in unpaid cannabis taxes. If that's not accurate then please provide the public with the numbers that show that the city recently reported

approximately 15 million in cannabis business tax revenue in 2024 demonstrating that this is a significant revenue stream at a time when the city is facing a budget deficit year after year and the

city is asking residents to contribute more financially and make more sacrifices regarding parks and rec etc.. We should know whether every dollar already owed to the city is being identified and

collected. It's been years since the public received a comprehensive update on this issue so please provide transparency. Residents deserve to know the numbers before asking before being asked to pay

and sacrifice some more. Thank you. Judy Strine if you can please unmute. Good afternoon City Council. I too was among the group left in the cold at the active transportation infrastructure meeting

last Thursday and I had especially wanted to take time out of my workday to share some information that meant a lot to me as a grandparent and many young adults who are driving and many teenagers who

are about to begin that road, that scary road and remind ourselves that it's often said about driving that it is the biggest trust exercise we engage in in a society. And many would say that driving

it impaired puts everyone at risk And that's what I'm here to speak about. There's a new research out from the traffic Injury Research Foundation. They let us know that the number of fatal accidents

has been slowly decreasing over the last many years which is good news. However, the number of those fatalities related to drug use has increased becoming more common than alcohol use speeding,

distracted or even fatigued showing much smaller increases. And that with this research took a look at what are the ages for which this impaired driving most commonly occurs and the ages 25 to 34 have

the highest rate followed by ages 20 to 24 followed by 35 to 44. A particularly young population . And they have found out that drug of choice tends to be marijuana. They have found out that these

accidents more commonly occur from 3 A.M. To 6 A.M. In the morning and on Saturday. Applying we have young people traveling home from probably social events and being a hazard on our roads. So as we

look at what we need to focus on our messaging, we should make sure that our people our residents, our young people in particular now that legal does not mean safe and driving under the influence of

any drugs is an extremely dangerous task. Thank you. Thank you Crypto Bradley if I can please on you for taking my call vector here. I was thinking about how in a question and answer period like once

a week with Erica come up on the stage there and we could ask him questions and he could answer. Or how about just the budget guy The Budget Committee got there. Does he work for the mayor and sewer

for the city of San Diego? The people he could do it like once a week You get all sorts of questions If you had the answers to questions like how much of the contract how many how many pieces are you

paid? Where's the money go? And we have thousands of questions and you can give the answers. You would have to be up there with the rest of the guys there but you might be linked in some way and we

could just ask you questions and debate it, expose it like they're doing in the paper. The city comes out with these articles about the trash They know what are you going to do about it Like the city

council Got it. Everyone's getting charged like crazy. So we could just ask them directly and motivate you guys to get along. And the mayor decided that he needs to know he's nowhere to be found. I

mean he's run the ball. You guys are just about the collateral damage of what the mayor does kind of thing. But and then the flock thing People don't like bloc But why they vote for Marty Marty loves

bloc so don't vote for him or her on the next election. Personally I like Bloc because I'm for I'm for having a committee mass rapid deportation committee and really ramp up on deporting all these

illegal aliens in our county and city. They're taking all the bennies they've got to go. So we want to little help. We could put a bounty on their head like 500 bucks and Trump bypass about your time

has concluded Kathleen limit your final speaker Thank you. Good afternoon. I also would like to thank the city for their refreshing policy support of smoke free outdoor dining. It was a straight up

sound public health policy and we rarely see that these days when the city also budget is overspent. Why is that Its first instinct to cut public services or raise taxes? Failure to require adequate

infrastructure that previous land use problem promises closing public bathrooms cut trolley service increased traffic use high density housing to get payback from developers trying to force the

wealthy to pay a greater tax on not what they own but what they control. It's a cause that also puts in a space to reduce the threshold at whatever level they choose. Intelligent leaders should want

to attract investors, not drive them away. And city leaders always look beyond their salaries, pensions, benefits and perks their unwavering and unqualified support for union contractors to whom they

are beholden. Union workers are the highest paid workers yet they are always the first to protest any cut that might cause them the slightest financial discomfort. Like city officials and staffers,

they have great medical care defined pensions and they get double time for overtime Provided the current economy workers have never been shown any such concern for their pay or benefits as part of the

reason the city continues to spend more than you described our national debt as interchange child internet, national child abuse intergenerational and it's no different. You're trying to make my

apologies. That doesn't put knowledge in the public comment for today's meeting. All right. Thank you, City Clerk With that does the office of the city attorney have anything to report out from close

session? Thank you. There's nothing to report. All right. Thank you for confirming that. We will now adjourn Council to the regularly scheduled council meeting on Tuesday, September
