APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The following provides a full transcript of item #6, Re: approval of the Regular Meeting of May 11, 2026 (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afEcBKkWHGs from 1:48:00 - 2:10:33) Regular Meeting of May 11, 2026
Mayor Sylvester: I'm going to move on to the next item on the agenda, which is the approval of the minutes for May 11th, 2026.
Vice Mayor Proaño: Mayor, before...
Sylvester: Vice Mayor. Yes.
Proaño: Yes, sir. Before we ... proceed with that, I had a quick question. ... during our last meeting ... when ... Rose ... spoke on ... on ... the items that we discussed with regards to Councilmember DiGiovanni, I looked at the minutes and something was missing...there was a couple comments that I was concerned that were not on the notes. And ... if you recall, you mentioned I got concerned about it. That's why I'm bringing it up. You had mentioned that you were not given an opportunity to defend yourself. You said it twice and it wasn't in the minutes. And I thought, I thought that that would be important to have it in the minutes, Councilmember DiGiovanni: Yeah. Thank you.
Proaño: But ... the only conflict ... yes...the only conflicting part would be because I thought it was important that would be there. But you had mentioned ... Rose that she did. So, I just wanted to make sure cuz I wouldn't want that to be an issue.
DiGiovanni: Point of clarification. So, the point of clarification is I didn't because I was under medical. So even though the you guys had set the date between that inter is when I went into cardiogenic I had the cardiogenic shock and things were I was in the that's why I sent that letter to the City Clerk to read out loud about my medical condition and that if I had there's no way I would I would have uh probably I'm not exaggerating I'm being hyperbolic. I would have... I would have died here. So, it was pretty serious.
Proaño: I understand. So, to say that I had but you said DiGiovanni: When you get the opportunity but nobody foresaw my ... the extreme of ... of... really almost dying. Yeah. So, no, I just wanted, you know, so there was not a rescheduling or anything, but that's why the City Clerk read that letter and then that's the only thing I could get ... to so that you guys would know that I wasn't just being ... I don't want to be dismissive or disrespectful, but it was it was a serious health issue that it's valid. It's valid. It's not anything. Yeah. Well, I know you're not questioning that.
Proaño: No, I wasn't questioning that. I was just concerned because ... Can I ask Rose just the process ... because she did say I was concerned about her stating that she wasn't able to defend herself. So, does that mean as well that when there was all the meetings and the investigations and all that she wasn't given a chance? City Attorney...?
Zimmerman: No, but I think I can clarify...okay. So, at the last meeting ... you want the minutes to reflect that there was discussion that she had in Councilmember DiGiovanni had indicated that she didn't have an opportunity

MINUTES - SPECIAL MEETING - CITY COUNCIL
MAY 26, 2026
Proaño: Twice
Zimmerman : ...and within that discussion when asked ... it was noted in the record that she was given the opportunity, but yes there was other issues with regards to her medical conditions but the record does reflect she was given the opportunity. There was an opportunity to be interviewed, and she had rejected to be interviewed to be.... declined to be interviewed during the investigation as well as when ... we had the notice for the hearing. So, you want the minutes to reflect that that was stated on the record? Proaño: Correct. Okay. Yeah. I just think it's important that it be recorded but clarified..
Zimmerman: Okay. So, ...to be clarified. So, would it be clearer ...Madam City Clerk to have it verbatim as it pertains to that particular section, because I don't know exactly what was stated? City Clerk Hipona: It could be verbatim but usually we don't do that in the minutes. We try to summarize what has been said so we can look back and add what you suggested... not given the opportunity to respond.
Proaño: No, she said it was she was twice she was not able to defend herself and so that was my concern.
DiGiovanni: Yeah. At the censure hearing, I was I was not able to defend myself because I was unable to be here and then yes. And then ... but ..that's okay.
Zimmerman: That's what was stated whether we're not talking about the substance here. What was stated is...
DiGiovanni: not the interview part or any of that...
Zimmerman: Okay... said what was not stated but it wasn't clear. We want the minutes to reflect that there was discussion that Councilmember DiGiovanni stated that she did not have an opportunity but what was the minutes will reflect that the opportunity was provided because there was a noticed hearing.
DiGiovanni: for the interview, but not for the ...
Zimmerman: for the interview and for the actual censure hearing DiGiovanni: You get... Well, you were noticing me, but I could not medically be here.
Zimmerman: That's correct but there was a notice.
DiGiovanni: How can you defend yourself? I'm not going to get into it right now.
Sylvester: Here's what we're going to do. I'm listening to all sides here and I do know from the past that sometimes the City Clerk, and it's been known that we do not put everything verbatim into the minutes as to what's transpired. If that would happen, ..., the minutes would be extremely long. However, the Vice Mayor brings up a point, and she just wants a clarification and documentation as to what transpired. So, I know we have the technology nowadays. I, you know, we can bring up the meeting on YouTube and capture the conversation just on this regard...I guess Madam City Attorney's report and what was subsequently said during the meeting, and we can document that portion of it and adjust the minutes to include the information because what I'm hearing is the Vice Mayor, you don't see ... all the particulars as to what transpired in the meeting and you would like to see that. I think at your request that possibly could happen 3 CITY OF DALY CITY
MINUTES - SPECIAL MEETING - CITY COUNCIL
MAY 26, 2026
because we can go on and go on and and go back and forth and debate... I said this. No, I didn't say that.
No, this is what I meant. How about if we get verbatim as to what was said during the meeting? Proaño: No, I that sounds good. I, like I said, I was just concerned. The statement concerned me because I wanted to make sure that everybody has a chance to defend themselves.
Sylvester : Hold on, Councilmember DiGiovanni. Councilmember Manalo.
Councilmember Manalo: ... Thank you so much. I think Vice Mayor ... you may have not been on Council yet..., but there was also opportunity for ... I think defending the admonishment, right? And as far as also ... being interviewed ... in that regard. So is it ...is this for the censorship but also the admonishment? Prior to the censorship, there was opportunity to be interviewed and then I think ... Councilmember DiGiovanni did not get interviewed. Is that correct?
Zimmerman: That's correct. And that was actually stated in the minutes as also stated in the report that was that was part of the report.
Sylvester: Councilmember Manalo, thank you. Councilmember DiGiovanni, you have the floor.
DiGiovanni: Yeah, thank you very much. So, the then first I want to thank the Vice Mayor. She's right because when somebody is absent and they're unable to defend themselves and to be .... and you're supposed to have an impartial hearing and some people have a past, they shouldn't be voting on me anyway. But the thing is I didn't even have a chance to do that, and it happened, and I was unable to be here and is it was documented that it is medical and it happened in my absence which I was a little um taken back this that if you're not absence ... if you're absent how can you defend yourself? That's my... that's my point. But anyway, so it happened and
Sylvester: Thank you, Councilmember DiGiovanni. And we'll go around again and Councilmember DiGiovanni, you had the floor. I'm going to go back around and ask if there's any further rebuttal or response.
Proano: Well, I just would go with... and I appreciate that, because I was worried about hearing not someone not being able to defend themselves. I just want to just clarify one thing. Would it have made a difference if she'd have come to the ad the.. the censureship part of that, you know, that meeting? Uh meaning my biggest concern because I only heard there was only she only stated part of it was it sounded like she couldn't defend herself during ... the two issues the 2020. Was it 20 ...what's the first time? Zimmerman: The first one was the admonishment, which Councilmember DiGiovanni was present at that meeting.
Proaño: She was there yes okay. And then the second time? Zimmerman: The second time was the actual resolution of censure, which was the public noticed hearing.
Proaño: So, it wouldn't have made a difference at that point. Would it? Zimmerman: Well, she was noticed and her position is that she could not attend. We did proceed with the noticed hearing that was public and that opportunity to provide any kind of information at that hearing whether in person or in writing is always there because this is a public meeting..... However, I want to just kind of bring it back down to the minutes because this is really about... what was reported in those minutes and my understanding is there's a concern from the Vice Mayor that we don't have the full verbatim or the 4 CITY OF DALY CITY
MINUTES - SPECIAL MEETING - CITY COUNCIL
MAY 26, 2026
full... report as it was discussed. So, I would suggest as the City Clerk has indicated, there it is not practice to have full meetings but in situations like this, we can review the transcript, transcribe it, and actually have verbatim minutes for this particular item, and because we don't have that today, come back to the Council for you to review, and then approve the minutes at that time. Would that be appropriate? Proaño: Yeah, I appreciate the clarification, and I appreciate making sure everything's where it should be.
Okay. Thank you.
Sylvester: All right. Thank you, Vice Mayor. Moving down the line, Councilmember Manalo.
Manalo: Thank you, um, Mayor. I think in that respect with the request of Vice Mayor Proano to have .. for this instance ... verbatim and I know it's not usually the case for the City Clerk, but I think for clarification reasons ...that she has requested, I'd be ... in favor of it. Thank you.
Sylvester: Thank you Councilmember Manalo. And last final comment Councilmember DiGiovanni.
DiGiovanni: Okay. Thank you and thank you for that. And then be for the point of the history for ... our Vice Mayor, she did not know that it was it was pretty well known that it was a politically motivated at that time of the prior and that ... I was it went to court I was exonerated. So, just to let you know that on a on a part of it and the person really shouldn't have voted on me for anything, because you're supposed to have an impartial hearing. Impartial hearing. Impartial.
Manalo: Point of clarification. ... I was talking about the admonishment, which there was actually a report.
Can you say how many pages that was, City Attorney? The admonishment. I'm being very clear about it, was issues around staff ... use of the vehicle. I ...Can you kindly share that there was a report for the admonishment and how many pages it was?
Zimmerman : Yes ...there was an independent investigation as it pertained to that report. ..There was over 200 pages is what I can remember. It was publicly noticed.
DiGiovanni: Yeah. And I deserved an impartial hearing.
Sylvester: All right. Thank you. Wait... Vice Mayor. Vice Mayor, I'm trying to keep this in order now and give everybody a chance to speak. We had gotten to the point where I was giving ... Councilmember DiGiovanni the last comment, but additional comments came up. So, I'm going to ... let you have your say.
Dr. Rod, you've been pretty quiet. Did you want to say anything in this matter at before I move down? Councilmember Daus-Magbual: I think it's ... I would have to abstain since I wasn't at the last meeting.
Sylvester: Oh, okay. All right. Thank you very much. Vice Mayor...
Proaño: Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted ... to say perhaps ... so we don't take any much longer... It just some of the ... I'm sorry, just the clarification ... is that there were two issues. The first time I wasn't on Council, there was an investigation, a full investigation, and that concluded, and then there was an admonishment, and then there was a second one, and that's when she was sick. But the investigations all happened impartial, right? It wasn't ... we didn't do it, or Council didn't do it. There was an investigative group. There was, I'm guessing, Can you...
Zimmerman: That's correct. There was an independent investigation for both of the separate 5 CITY OF DALY CITY
MINUTES - SPECIAL MEETING - CITY COUNCIL
MAY 26, 2026
Proaño: Yeah. Separate. Yes. Okay. That's all. I just want to make sure because what I was hearing, we didn't do it in case anyone's listening. We ... when I was here, we didn't do it. It was an independent investigator.
Zimmerman: That's correct.
DiGiovanni: Okay. through the Mayor.
Sylvester: Councilmember Manalo, anything before we move to Councilmember DiGiovanni for the last ... comment. Thank you.
Manalo: Thank you, Mayor. ... I just wanted to ... reference the admonishment because that was the first ... situation where there was an investigation. I was not referring to the time that I got assaulted in this building okay. I was not referring to that time. I was referring to the admonishment piece, where there was an outside investigation regarding ... use of vehicle um just abrasive behavior... Just to be very clear to those watching, all we had asked is for some very workplace ...anger management. Can you please state what we were asking for the admonishment, so the public can know? Zimmerman: Sure. The
DiGiovanni: going to rehash
Zimmerman: resolution of admonishment included to have ... and this was actually ... it was an admonishment. So, it was to have anger management ...training, workplace harassment training, to have those set up and to have ....an apology as well as to be recommended.
Manalo: Thank you.
Sylvester: All right, Councilmember DiGiovanni.
DiGiovanni: Yeah, there's probably like you said where we have to stick to the minutes part from the last time, but when somebody is told they're supposed to have an impartial hearing in the vote, we know from even the last time it was politically motivated. So, I want people to have that on the record and that from the person that even brought it up that was here on the Council that time had was gunning for me from the very beginning had even said I'll never be on the agenda. I'll never be Mayor. So, I'm just going to put that on the record, and we'll go from there.
Sylvester: Thank you. Dr. Rod, before I make the final comment...
DiGiovanni: and then because
Sylvester: ... Councilmember DiGiovanni, I just released the mic from you.
DiGiovanni: Yeah. No, that's fine.
Sylvester: Thank you. Dr. Rod, anything?
Jaus-Magbual: ... I think there's... a precedence that our ... Council have ... created. It's unfortunate .. you know with your health issues ... but being on this dais is responsibility. It represents honor. It represents ... a sense of accountability and

MAY 26, 2026
DiGiovanni: That's right
Daus-Magbuual :.. you already set out... some groundwork for things that need to be addressed and ...
Councilmember DiGiovanni, hopefully ... there's a sense of humility and a sense of accountability to meet the expectations that we as a Council have put out.
Sylvester: Thank you, Dr. Rod. All right...listening and .. I take high regard to ... the legal aspects and the advice of our City Attorney. What precipitated this conversation was, and... City Attorney, please correct me if .. if I'm wrong, was at the request of the Vice Mayor that the ... the meeting minutes to which we are in ... attempting to approve at this time did not contain verbatim information as to the discussion pertaining to the issue of Councilmember DiGiovanni, whether it's the history, whether it is the past investigations, and obtaining further clarification as the Vice Mayor has requested, in addition to ... additional events that occurred, that has been mentioned, whether it's regarding assault that I feel we do not know until we get the verbatim of the minutes as requested from the last meeting. Then once we get the verbatim information, then we can go into further details such as the clarification and the independent investigation and all other aspects. But as I said earlier, we can continue to have this discussion, but we're going to go round and round and round. We need to get the verbatim discussion that transpired at the last meeting. So, that's where I'm Zimmerman: That's accurate. Yes. Yeah. It sounds like just for clarification that the request from ... as indicated by the Vice Mayor is ... to have more complete minutes, which are more the verbatim minutes or transcription before they can vote on the ... approval of the official record of the minutes.
Sylvester: Very good. Thank you very...
Hipona: If I may, does that include verbatim what the City Attorney said or verbatim, and or verbatim what Councilmember DiGiovanni and other members of the City Council? Proano: Since I'm the one requesting it, thank you so much ...City Clerk, I'd like to see it... from what... because it's all connected, from what our City Attorney started talking about it to the completion, so that it's all included. Thank you and I appreciate that clarification.
Zimmerman: and clarification it is with regards to the status in regards to the implementation of the Resolution of Censure, because it's under Committee Report, so there was other committee reports but it would be significant to this.
Sylvester: All right great so the motion on the...
Zimmerman:... just continue it to the next meeting.
Sylvester: Okay as per City Attorney, this matter for approval of the minutes will be continued to the next meeting and it's at that time we can approve the minutes of today... I mean ... approve the minutes of the previous meeting which would be ... was it May 14th? May 11th, yes May 11 thank you so much all right thank you. All right, the next item on the agenda is item number seven.
