2 UUUUJIIyII CIIVV1UPU IU. / CL 1%,/ DJ-GCDL-OI,UJ-OVJU-L K=U;JUDDNJJ/ O A reminder on our standard protocol for general public comments. The City Council and I felt it important to hear the concerns from residents at our last meeting in response to the incident at Fairfield High. There was a lot of emotion and frustration, which is understandable. In order to ensure a productive meeting, this week we will be returning to our standard process for public comment and decorum from commentors. This means that speakers will be limited to the standard 3 minutes (or 2 if you plan to shorten), profanity is not acceptable, disruptions or chants are not tolerated, and the City Council nor staff does not respond to comments made but may ask for an item to be placed on a future agenda for council discussion. We respect the opinions and voices of all our residents. At the same time, we want to maintain a respectful and professional decorum befitting these council chambers; as has been our standard practice for many years.

Assistant City Manager and Human Resources Director Farbod Pirouzmand gave a presentation.
Dennis Green Jr. spoke on Item L.I.
City Council received the report and requested that staff continue to work on the mid -cycle update. No action taken.
L.2 PW Rockville Hills Regional Park Citizens Advisory Committee Presentation Chair Jared Preston and Co -Chair Nik Glazar of the Rockville Hills Regional Park Citizens Advisory Committee gave a joint presentation.
The most important thing for the committee is the hiring of a full-time park ranger as they have been without one for over two and a half years. City Manager Gassaway stated that Human Resources is currently updating the brochure for that position and will start the recruitment process in the near future. The other concern of the committee is that 115 manzanita trees have died, which is from goat overgrazing. This happened due to no oversight of the parkas there has been no park ranger. Once the park ranger is hired, the robust volunteer program in the park can be reinstated which will assist with oversight of the park.
Dennis Green Jr. and Vince Guisande spoke on Item L.2. No action taken.
L.3 HD Presentation and Direction for Homeless Priorities By request of Vice Mayor Bertani, this item will be continued to a future council meeting. Motion to continue made and approved earlier in meeting.
