 Welcome, everyone, to today's Santa Rosa City Council meeting. Madam City Clerk, can we get a roll call? Let the record show that all councilmembers are present. Great. Now, item two on the agenda is going to be the administration of oath of office and presentation of certificate of appointment to newly appointed councilmember Richard Dowd. Madam City Clerk will be administering the oath. Welcome, Mr. Dowd. Please repeat after me. I, Richard Dowd, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of California that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I am about to enter. This is subscribed and sworn to this before me on this 14th day of January, 2020, in the city of Santa Rosa, California. Thank you, Mr. Dowd. Welcome aboard. Thank you. Mr. Dowd, before you make any comments, did we have any cards on this item? So, definitely we'd do the one public comment, then I'd invite you to make some comments. And Mr. City Manager, is this a live mic down here? Is this one operational? We have one card on this item, Mr. Dwayne DeWitt. Your preference. Feelings mutual, Dwayne. For taking on this sometimes thankless task, it's a wonderful thing that you volunteered your time, and I wanted to commend him for all of his time that he spent on the board of public utilities. He met me through my coming there and getting a chance to perhaps talk about positive things that could occur that that board had within its purview. He has seemed to be a fair and good man. I hope he stays that way in this position on into the future. Good luck to you in the new year, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Dowd, would you like to make any comments? Thank you very much, Mayor and other members of the council. It's a great pleasure for me to sit here with you and look for ways to improve our fine city. I also want to say that I'm really was quite proud, even though it was overwhelming to fill in the application to get the appointment, but I was very proud that this community had 19 different people who wanted to help out. And when you add up the council and all the boards and commissions that this city has, I think we have a strong leadership help and pull the wagon in our community and it makes me proud to be a resident here. I do want to take a moment to say I have friends and family here, my wife and sister-in-law and one of my sons, good friends, the Zoom alts and good friend, Ananda Sweet from the chamber and a fellow colleague at the Board of Public Utilities, Lisa Baddon Fort. I just want to say that I spent 25 years on the BPU. There were a lot of stressful times and stressful decisions that had to be made, but together the BPU and the City Council, I think, accomplished a lot and it makes me proud to have that heritage. Thank you very much. Thank you for your willingness to participate. Look forward to seeing your contributions. Any other council members would like to make any comments on this item? Seeing none, we then are going to recess this open session and we'll reconvene in closed session at 2 o'clock in the Mayor's Conference Room.
