reportable action was taken in close session this evening. Thank you. Thank you. So we'll move on to item three, our presentations. Please note these are presentation items only. The city clerk, the city council will not take any action. Public comment will occur after the presentation items. If you'd like to speak on these items in person, please submit a blue speaker card to the assistant city clerk now. And so I will um head down to the podium for our first. It's item three point one, our compassion week proclamation.
Ellen Kamei 2:55
All right, and tonight we are joined by Yvonne Murray, Compassion Week Co Chair. So I'll invite her up to accept the proclamation. Okay. All right. Yeah, we got to do the kickoff together. All right. And the proclamation reads: whereas the city of Mountain View is a community that embraces, promotes, and values compassion, and whereas the city of Mountain View appreciates the acts of compassion performed by community-based organizations, nonprofit agencies, and individuals every day to foster a kinder and more connected community. And whereas the vision of Compassion Week is to build a strong compassion. And empathetic community that bridges divides by creating service and learning opportunities for individuals to expand their understanding of local and global needs.
Ellen Kamei 3:43
And whereas all members of the Mountain View community, regardless of age, background, education, gender, religious beliefs, lifestyle, ability, or skills, were invited to contribute their talents and energy to participate in Compassion Week projects and activities. And help make Mountain View a more caring and kind community. Now, therefore, I, Ellen Kamea, mayor of the City of Mountain View, along with my colleagues on the City Council, do recognize and celebrate this past week that we just had of October 4th through October 12th as compassion week. And so I just wanted to present that to you and then wanted to invite you to say a few.
Unknown 4:25
Sure.
Ellen Kamei 4:26
Okay,
Unknown 4:26
wonderful. I would just say that we really appreciate both the city council, but more importantly, we w appreciate all of the uh people in Mountain View that help make Compassion Week meaningful and help contribute to our thriving community. Thank you.
Ellen Kamei 4:44
And so I'll just um add a little bit more because I think the Compassion Week we got to kick it off at our plaza in front of City Hall. And there was, I think, over what a hundred projects that people could participate in. And um the city of of Mountain View, we invited all residents to unite and service to our community through participation in the activities.
