Jesus Miranda spoke about the reduction of time in speaking. He expresses that they are trying to take the right of the people to speak up and would like to know why. Asks council to please consider keeping it at five minutes instead of reducing it. Also states that Councilwoman Davila is not here, and she should be here and recalls the history of corruption in the city and does not plan to leave the city.
Marco Torres with Neu-Self Awakening it is a new non-profit organization focusing on mental health and behavioral health. Explains that communities are faced with mental health crisis and explain some of the reasons such as access and cultural awareness. He explains what the non-profit is and the way they help the people that come into there office.
They are looking to make South Gate one of there corporate office location for the much-needed mental health resources in the area. The health resources and service administration has recognized the south cities specifically South Gate as an area shortage of mental health provider.
They are looking to partner with the local universities to bring in recent graduates that will be monitored by licensed therapists, not only to complete there hours but to serve the communities that they come from.
He talks about his personal experience when it comes to dealing with mental health issues and he is also a resident of south-central LA, and he has 32 years of experience in health care. He came so that everyone could get to know him and the program and invites them to sit with him and learn about their mental and behavioral model.
Carlos Amador thanks the chief for taking the time to talk to him regarding some of the issues he had. He appreciates when city employees take the time to listen. He is here because in his street there hasn't been street cleaning for about a year, he has been the one cleaning the streets and the gutters. He contacted the city and the city manager, he said he would investigate it, but nothing happens, and he is still billed for street cleaning. Expresses his frustration because he is paying for a service that he does not get and that he does himself.
Thomas Buckley says he is incredibly disappointed that they limited the speech to three minutes, and he doesn't think there is any considerable time saving. Explains that communication is important in any relationship and limiting the speech diminishes the relationship between the residents and council and asks that in the future they reconsider this. Says that last council meeting there was a lengthy discussion about the parks division, and he was hoping to talk about it today. Thursday, he emailed to see if it was going to be on the agenda to talk about today and City Manager Jeffers replied and stated that he and the City Attorney were unsuccessful in procuring the information needed in a timely manner and it will be addressed in the next meeting. The City Manager explains that technically the city council doesn't need to have a resolution on this matter up until the city formally accepts the results. Addresses the city clerk position and

Mario Dominguez asks who is the person that picks the agenda items because the meeting have been getting longer and longer. He says that the council needs to look at how they are running these meetings. He believes that they are doing to much and thinks that they could get more done if they had less things to get through. He suggests the City Manager should be giving the Council Members updates weekly so they know what they have in the books.
Adolfo Varas finds the idea of getting a deputy city clerk alarming because he thinks it is a waste of taxpayer dollars. He explains that they already have a city clerk. He also finds alarming the reduction in time that residents can speak, says that council is there to serve the community regardless of the hours. He is hoping that the council will reconsider changing the time in the future and consider some of the things they are doing.
Jovanna Laborin thanked Steven and his staff for all he does. She shares her concerns about the things that have been going on at the park, they have been reporting illegal fireworks and they have about four counts of fires that they have started, vandalism, and children that smoke at the park which spreads in the park. She is concerned for the safety of the community and hopes that Steve and the chief can help them out at the park. She also had a visit from the health department at the snack bar because somebody got sick from something that was purchased behind a van. She explains that now there are vehicles that park around the park and open the back of their cars and start selling. They also have two cart vendors that sell items, but they are sealed.

COMMENTS FROM
THE AUDIENCE CONT'D Robert Montalvo praises Sal from Parks and Recreation, says he went above and beyond to get participants. Explains that the room on one of the huts of the Boy Scouts has not been fixed and the blue tarp they put is deteriorating and it has been four years and it is getting worse lately.
Expresses his discontent with the reduction of time in speaking from five minutes and asks if they are going back to the time of Albert Robles. He believes that the council needs to reconsider this. Addresses the city clerk position, the residents voted, and the outcome was no. Says that the council is conspiring to get a deputy city clerk, explains that a lot of residents would support the reduction of salary if they were to present it correctly to the residents. He thinks that this is making people who want to run for city clerk they might not want to because everything is uncertain.
Cynthia Esquivel thanked Steve and his wonderful staff. Explains that they have been having a lot of issues with the skate park with kids fighting, drugs, alcohol, fire, blowing up trash cans and graffiti. Says that this is perfect place to have a dog park because the skate park was ill conceived from the beginning.
Nelson Hermosillo commented on the parking situation that a resident brought up. He explains that he is a resident but has also been a part of the parking enforcement and explains that the police department just doesn't have the resources to enforce these laws although he would like to have the rules enforced. Says they are not a big city, but they should have the money to hire and retain more personnel to get the job done in the city. He would like to see the budget monitored more closely. He says there has been a letter circulating on social media regarding first amendment issues and civil rights issues that the city attorney has passed around. He would like to know if they could provide context and background regarding this.
Lastly regarding the reduction of time to speak he says it is the people's city hall and people come to speak their minds and express their concerns.
Limiting that does not help the people and he thinks it should not be reduced.

lot with the Council and they have introduced resources to try and provide some relief for people. The last speaker says that the police department is spread thin and that they will see the proposed budget is online and if they have any comments, they could comment on it at the public hearing that is in two weeks. Mr. Jeffers Thanked individuals from the parking team for trying to enforce the parking.
Raul F. Salinas, City Attorney says that there are no backroom deals that happen in South Gate. He explains that if they are looking to run for City Clerk than they should assume that the salary is the same until there are changes by the City Council through the resolution process. Says that the City Council is just considering it and without a majority vote it is just that a consideration. Explains that August 11 to is the filing deadline here and one of the reasons they brought up the idea now is because they want to be transparent in the process. He explains a situation in Torrance where the salary was reduced for the City Treasure after her term was finished. On the issue of the time for speaking being reduced from five minutes to three minutes was a decision that the Council made and if they want to revisit it in the future to change it, they can do it. He adds that ever since covid started the Council has done everything possible to reach the community.
They have kept the zoom even after covid when it was no longer required, and the Council has worked to make it accessible to people there. One of the individuals that spoke referred to a letter from the City Attorney's Office and it had to do with a letter that was sent to the City of South Gate that filed a claim with the City of South Gate and the individual was not satisfied with the way that the matter was handled and claimed that the City Council and other city employees are criminals. The letter explained that statements like that are liable to slander and defamation and he should consult a lawyer to govern himself accordingly. He brings to the attention of everyone that there was a City Council meeting on Saturday, and it was intended to be a workshop and the public was invited.
Mayor Rios addresses some of the comments on staffing of the police and parking enforcement. He says that it has been difficult staffing and they do have positions open, but this is an issue that they have across the board.
Says they are offering incentives to hire people, but it has been a challenge for everyone.
