 Good morning and welcome to our City Council meeting. Madam City Clerk, can you please call the roll? Yes, thank you. I think Council Member Tibbets is trying to get on right now. So I will come back to him. Council Member Schwedhelm. Here. Council Member Sawyer. Here. Council Member Fleming. Oh, I'm sorry. Council Member Fleming will not be at the meeting today. Council Member Alvarez. Vice Mayor Rogers. Present. Mayor Rogers. Here. Council Member Tibbets, have you joined us? Okay, let the record show that all Council Members are present with the exception of Council Member Fleming and Council Member Tibbets. All right, thank you so much, Madam City Clerk. We start our day in closed session with items 2.1 and 2.2. I'll go ahead and turn it over to Sandy to see if we have any voicemail public comments or any Zoom public comments. Mayor, I'm not seeing any hands raised and we do have one voicemail public comment. I'll play that. Okay. Hi, this is Sarah Sweever with the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition and I'm commenting on agenda item number 2.1. We have taught thousands of children and adults how to cycle safely and responsibly, but all the education programs in the world will not get people out of their cars and onto bikes if they're not safe streets for which then for them to walk and ride on. So from the beginning, we have supported the residents of the Jennings neighborhood on the city and the quest to reopen the at-grade crossing of the smart track at Jennings Avenue, including letters to the CPUC, speaking before smart, circulating petitions, the CPUC has deemed it safe and extended the application. We urge you to move forward with your application for another extension of the permit. This is such an important pet and bike route for local residents to access their schools, work, and shopping. The alternative routes are all longer. They're on busier streets and they still require you to walk across the tracks. As a cyclist myself, I can tell you that you're at much greater risk of being hit by car on Durville Road or College Avenue than you are being hit by a train crossing the tracks there. The safety concerns that smart expressed also don't take into account the health risks of inactivity. Seniors who don't drive and are frightened by the traffic are more isolated in their homes. Children are unable to walk safely to school and therefore are driven. Our safe access school director has reported that the number of children walking to Helen Limit School declined once the crossing was closed. The city's goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and vehicle miles traveled can't be met without decisive concrete actions that will make it easier for people to travel without getting into a vehicle. So many people rediscovered the joy of cycling and walking during the COVID-related restrictions of the past year and a half. So please let's keep this momentum going and keep pushing to get this crossing built. Thank you for your time. That concludes Voice Message Public Comment. Okay, great. Then I will call us into closed session. I do and I don't see anybody in the chamber who's looking to speak. We did get some late correspondence on item 2.1 and that correspondence was uploaded to the archive record and is available on the website and council was emailed that correspondence also. Yeah, thank you so much and we'll be back. Madam City Clerk, can you please call the roll? Thank you. Councilmember Tibbets. Councilmember Schwedhelm. Here. Councilmember Sawyer. Here. Councilmember Alvarez. Vice Mayor Rogers. Present. Mayor Rogers. Here. Let the record show that all councilmembers are present with the exception of councilmember Alvarez, councilmember Fleming and councilmember Tibbets. Great. I'll go ahead and I will go ahead and report out on our closed session. Council met and gave direction to our staff on items 2.1, which was the Jennings Crossing extension discussion, as well as item 2.2, which was contract labor negotiations. With that, we'll close our special meeting and we'll be back in a couple of minutes for our regularly scheduled council meeting. And interpreter Charles and interpreter Pablo, I'm going to end this meeting and start the new one if you can log back on again. Thank you.
