Thank you. In recent weeks, the city, along with a few of our neighboring elected decision making bodies, have been subjected to disruptive racist verbal attacks by anonymous callers during virtual public comments. The City of Mountain View is fully committed to racial, religious, and cultural equity and justice as we strive to create a welcoming, safe and inclusive community for all. The council welcomes respectful, non threatening public comments on matters within our jurisdiction. Comments deemed otherwise pursuant to the Council Code of Conduct and the Government Code may be grounds for terminating a speaker's comment period. Now I'd like to take a moment to highlight a new tool the city is piloting to make our public meetings more accessible to our diverse community.
The city has launched a pilot of WordFly, an AI-powered translation and captioning service that allows members of the public to follow meeting proceedings in their preferred language using their own device or headset. The service offers translation in more than 60 languages. For those watching from home via Zoom, YouTube, and the city website, or cable TV, Wordly Translation Service can be launched by scanning the QR code displayed on the screen or by clicking direct links provided in the meeting agendas. As a reminder, we are currently recruiting members to serve on our boards, commissions, and committees. We are accepting applications until five PM on October second for the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
Board of Library Trustees, Downtown Committee, Environmental Planning Commission, Human Relations Committee, Parks and Rec Recreation Commission, Performing Arts Committee, and the Senior Advisory Committee. Please visit Mountainview.gov/slash Bcc. Or contact the city clerk's office for additional information. Interim City Attorney Quinn, do you have a closed session report?
Yes, I do have a closed session report. In closed session this evening, the City Council took final action on item two point one on the closed session agenda, which was a conference with legal counsel pursuant to government code section five four nine five six point nine D four regarding the initiation of litigation.
