Mayor, Council, City Attorney, Independent Budget Analyst, City Clerk Comment:
CC-1: Councilmember Whitburn reported two anti-LGBTQ incidents in Hillcrest: one involving harassment and slurs, and another more serious assault where the victim was repeatedly punched while the attacker used transgender slurs. The assault suspect was quickly arrested. Councilmember Whitburn highlighted that local surveillance tools, like cameras and license plate readers, help solve hate crimes and warned offenders they will be identified and prosecuted. He reaffirmed that Hillcrest is a welcoming community where people are free to be themselves.
City Clerk Comment: City Clerk Fuentes stated that technical issues affected virtual public comments earlier in the day, but confirmed that all comments were successfully heard before the City Council entered closed session and thanked the public for their patience.
