 Hi Sue, do you want to do a quick sound check? Can you hear me? Just barely. Again, I'm working the mics in here. Okay. Better. That's better. Thank you. Is it better? Yeah. Sure. It's nothing on your end. We're doing it here in the chamber. Thank you. Okay. Great. Thanks. Stephanie is the meeting all, it looked like the agenda stated that it was all by Zoom. That's correct. Okay. Morning, Eddie. Martin, John. Hey, Mayor, how are you? I heard you might have a conflict. Glad you're here. I did, but I had to resolve that. I had to cancel a meeting with five people to make this meeting this morning. So I'm sure you very much appreciate it. The community does. Just send it to Jack. I do see Council Member Fleming in the attendees list. There we go. And Council Member Tibbet should be signing on momentarily. And we have the Vice Mayor too. She accepted the invitation. Oh yeah, she just got promoted. All right. Looks like we have a mostly full council at the moment. Let's go ahead and call the roll and start our special meeting. Okay. Good morning, everyone. Council Member Tibbet. Yeah. Council Member Schwedhelm. Council Member Sawyer. Here. Council Member Fleming. Here. Council Member Alvarez. Present. Vice Mayor Rogers. Present. Mayor Rogers. Here. Let the record show that all council members are present with the exception of Council Member Schwedhelm. Great. We're going to start with item 2.1. Mr. City Manager, do you want to introduce? Yes. The resolution declaring a local disaster from the recent rains. And the unfortunate reality is Council has seen many of these in the past. Do you want to give a little bit of context? I don't know if it's Sue or if it's Jason Nutt of what the council is being asked. I'm happy to take on or Jason is on board. And in fact, Jason was the Acting Director of Emergency Services at the time and the one that issued the proclamation of existence of a local emergency relating to the rains and the flash flooding that was the result of the atmospheric river event that took place over the weekend. He issued under his authority under the city code. He issued the proclamation of existence of local emergency. That declaration survives for a period of seven days unless extended by ratification by the city council. So we're here today to ask that the city council ratify that proclamation of local emergency and that proclamation would then remain in effect uninterrupted for another 60 days. You would review it again in 60 days or earlier if the conditions of emergency are resolved. And Assistant City Manager Nutt, would you like to weigh in as well? Thank you, City Attorney Gallagher. Yes, we were, we have been made aware that the governor may be issuing a statewide declaration. The combination of the two may provide opportunities for both the city as a local government but also individuals to be able to receive assistance if assistance is necessary based on the extent of the damage that was caused by the recent storm events. So by ratifying this proclamation, it does put us in a position to be able to take advantage of those opportunities at the state level if we feel the damage is extensive enough to warrant application. All right, councilor, are there any questions? All right, let's open it up and see if there's any public comment on this item. We'll see no hands popping up, so I'll bring it back. Jason just wanted to say how grateful I am to you and to the team. I know everybody was working really hard, upstaffed through the weekend that obviously when we started to see the water flow, everybody kicked it into high gear. So I know police, fire, water, transportation, public works, so many in the EOC really were give it up the entire weekend to make sure that the community stayed safe. So I just want to say thank you for that and that we're all very grateful for it. Thank you for that, yeah. The team did a fantastic job all the way around protecting the citizens. Yeah. All right, Madam Clerk, would you please call the vote? I think we need a motion and a second for this. Okay, I see Jack is the motion. Do we have a second? Second. The motion is to approve, right Jack? That's right. All right. And was that council member Sawyer who seconded? It was the vice mayor. The vice mayor? Let me change mine. Okay, council member Tibbets. Council member Tibbets. Thank you. Council member Sawyer. Aye. Council member Fleming. Yes. Council member Alvarez. Aye. Vice Mayor Rogers. Aye. Mayor Rogers. Aye. The motion passes with six ayes with council member Schwedhelm absent. Okay, move on to item 3.1. 3.1 is a closed session item, so we'll take public comment on it. If you have an interest in providing public comment on this item, go ahead and hit the raise hand feature on Zoom. All right, I'm not seeing any hands pop up. So council, we have a separate Zoom link for the closed session. We'll reconvene on the open session link after we're done to report out to the public. But for now, let's go ahead and recess into closed session and join that other Zoom link. All right, Stephanie and Dina, it looks like we're ready to come back. Okay, she's promoting. Council member Fleming, I have been trying to promote you to panelists. So if you see that prompt, please accept. Let's also promote Sue. And then let's go ahead and call the roll and establish a quorum. Okay, there we go. We'll begin roll call. Council member Tibbet. Council member Sawyer. Here. Council member Fleming. Here. Council member Alvarez. Present. Vice Mayor Rogers. Present. Mayor Rogers. Here. Council member Tibbet, have you joined us? Okay, let the record show that all council members are present with the exception of council member Schwedhelm and council member Tibbetts. All right, so do you mind giving us a quick report out from our closed session? Sure, thank you, Mr. Mayor. Council met in closed session on item 3.1 concerning negotiations on the real property at 950 South Wright Road, Santa Rosa. Council gave direction to the real property negotiator and no final action was taken. Thank you. All right, with that, we'll go ahead and adjourn. Thanks, everybody.
