What announcements were made at the start of the closed‑session portion?
Good evening, everyone. Thank you for joining us for our closed session. Mayor Showalter, do you have an announcement to make?
Yes, just a second, let me open it up. Pursuant to government code section 54953, I am participating in this meeting remotely through both audio and visual technology under the just cause provision due to travel while on official business of a legislative body. No other people are present at this remote location with me. Thank you.
Thank you. And Vice Mayor, do you have an announcement to make?
I do. Pursuant to Government Code Section 54953, I am participating in this meeting remotely through both audio and visual technology under the just cause provision due to travel while on official business of the legislative body. No other persons over 18 years of age are present at this remote location with me. Thank you.
Thank you. and Council Member Ramos. Do you have an announcement?
Yes. Thank you, Council Member Hicks. Pursuant to government code section 54953, I am participating in this meeting remotely through both audio and visual technology under the just cause provision due to travel while on official business of the legislative body. No other person over 18 years of age is present at this remote location with me.
Thank you. And thank you. As a reminder, all votes during this meeting will be taken by roll call. City Attorney Logue will make a closed session announcement, and then we will welcome public comment on the item listed for closed session. City Attorney Logue?
Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Council Members. There is one item on this evening's closed session agenda. Item 2.1 is a conference with legal counsel regarding two items of anticipated litigation pursuant to government code section 54956.9. Thank you.
Thank you.
How did the council conduct the roll‑call and consent calendar?
Now we reserve time for any member of the public joining us virtually or in person to provide comments on the closed session item. I actually see zero attendees. So I'm assuming nobody wants to make comments, either virtually or in person. So with that, the council, we're on item number two, which is closed session, and the council will now recess to the plaza conference room for closed session and return to the council chambers at the close to continue to the regular session of the council meeting.
Okay, good evening, everyone. Welcome to the regular meeting of the Mountain View City Council of November 12th, 2024. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands,
one nation, under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The city clerk, we are on item number three on your agenda, and the city clerk will take attendance by roll call.
Council Member Abacoga? Here. Council Member Hicks? Here. Council Member Kamei? Here. Council Member Ramirez? Here. Council Member Ramos? Here. Vice Mayor Matichak? Here. Mayor Showalter? Here. You have a quorum.
Thank you. We are now on item number four, which is the consent calendar. These items will be approved by one motion unless any member of the council wishes to pull an item for individual consideration. If an item is pulled from the consent calendar, it will be considered separately following approval of the balance of the calendar. If you'd like to speak on these items or the next item, oral communications on non-agenda item in person, please submit a blue speaker card to the city clerk now. Would any member of the council like to pull an item? Okay, I don't see anyone. Would any member of the public joining us virtually or in person like to provide comment on these items? If so, please click the raise hand button in Zoom or submit a blue speaker card to the city clerk.
So are there any in-person speakers? I don't see any virtual speakers either. So in that case, I'll bring the item back for council action and note that a motion to approve the consent calendar should also include reading the title of the ordinance and resolution attached to consent calendar items 4.2 and 4.4. And the city clerk will be taking a roll call vote as we have council members participating remotely this evening.
