Mayor, Council, City Attorney, Independent Budget Analyst, City Clerk Comment:
CC-1: Councilmember Lee mentioned two years ago this Council allocated funding in support of the establishment of a gateway sign for the Convoy Pan-Asian Cultural and Business Innovation District located in District 6. He noted the sign was a long dream concept of the API community.
Councilmember Lee shared that last night on the corner of Convoy and Opportunity they got to light up the sign. He stated this sign is a symbol of identity and belonging for an API community whose stories as immigrants and refugees has often been marked by challenges as a sign that reflects upon hard work, entrepreneurship, and resilience of a community of families and small businesses that found a home in Convoy.
CC-2: Council President Pro Tem LaCava announced today is the 5th Anniversary of San Diego Community Power. He stated since it launched in 2019, he has seen the rapid growth from a small and feisty start-up to an organization delivering on its mission to deliver cleaner energy and directly investing in the communities we serve. Council President Pro Tem LaCava added just recently we were recognized as the Regional Energy Network for the entire County offering resources to areas of concern and creating green jobs in the renewable energy industry. He thanked all those who assisted in the creation of Community Power.
Report Out from Closed Session:
None.
Council President Elo-Rivera adjourned the meeting at 5:25 p.m. in honor of the memory of:
