as a middle schooler and never thought he would ever graduate from there. Long Beach will get the best of the Valley. Castro put his kids in public schools and got to see how remote education is for families. Thanks Mary Castro for being on Housing Authority. Chavez: Do you

know what all the ivy league graduates will call Castro? Boss!

@MayorLeeBrand Rev Ruben A. Scott Proclamation. He helped the less fortunate and wishes him the best in retirement.

Housing Authority's Preston Prince thanks Rev. Scott who is the last commissioner that was there when Prince was hired.Scott corrected our grammatical errors. (sound issues). Pastor Booker Lewis: a personal friend and many lives have been shaped by him. Scott has not slowed down.

Authority's Chairwomen Jones: I was put under his wing on the commission. He put me at ease.We will miss you and love you very much. @IamEricPayne Wanted to congratulate Pastor Scott for his selfless service on Housing Authority and as a pastor. Payne also thanks Mary Castro who

also served on Housing Authority. Debbie Darden:congratulates Scott. He is a pillar of society. He has heard the cries of District 3. Job well done. Rev. Scott:(having issues unmuting himself)Brand says this is his last proclamation and we couldn't have picked a better one.

Rev. Scott: Thanks everyone for their love today. He mentions a former President of Fresno State served on Housing Authority and now Mary Castro did as well. Prince made Authority relevant. It has been a ride for Scott. All the mayors that have nominated him to Authority. Joy,

Joy, Joy today. It would be great if Sabrina Kelly would be a good nominee to replace him on Authority.

Council Comments: Soria:I did test positive to Covid. Take precautions while in public. She has had mild flu symptoms and is lucky that way. She will stay at home.Thanks @AnnalisaPerea and her District 1 team as well as Iron Workers in helping with food distribution. another food

always making it easy to work with her. People need help. If you have the means please donate to others. Chavez:Thanks Mayor for all the years of service. He has been a great friend and mentor. Also Crown Jewel Caprioglio. There are cycles at City Hall and we are just passing by.

Lots of challenges in 2020. 2021 will be a rebuilding year. Is sad as he will be the lone Roosevelt Rough Rider left as Caprioglio and Brand also graduated from there. (as did I!)Bredefeld: they both served their constituents well.We didn't always agree but we all worked hard for

City. Arias: When Westerlund wasn't able to do his entire council term Caprioglio was chosen as his replacement because he was honest with Special Interests. Caprioglio: (back in his office) Castro was first District 4 Man of the Year and Castro whispered he would get him back.

and he really did with this medal. Santa's Village with Fresno PD and we did Christmas on the Block due to Covid a drive thru event. Thanks current and past Councilmembers as well as Administrative Staff like Quan and @MarkStandriff Community Center will be placed in District 4

which will take 2 years to construct. Also a Community Center along Bulldog Lane.He also looks forward to working with council-elect Tyler Maxwell @Maxwell4Fresno in the ribbon cutting of these centers. Kaboom is putting in a tot lot. Also a playground across from Discovery

Center. New lights will be added too. Covid has delayed these projects however.Thanks his mother, wife and children. Fresno is just beginning!

@D7Esparza Wish farewell to Caprioglio. We often would get ice cream and catch up. He has a heart for service. He is a statesman. Soria:Has served 6 years with him. Learned a lot from him and maybe she taught him a few things. Delivered for his District. Thanks for trying to keep

me short winded. And for teaching me to pronounce the "t" in important. He was like a brother he never had. We share having parents with Alzheimer. Wish she could give a big hug.Loved his sense of humor.@MayorLeeBrand our families go back pre-high school. Pleasure working with

him. Will say more January 7th swearing in ceremony. We as a council and Mayor worked hard in this pandemic.@MiguelArias_D3 jokes Caprioglio invited me to his cabin ten years ago but has never happened yet.

Public Comments:David Taub @TaubGVWire asks if rotation for both President and Vice president positions? @LovesMercy Brandi: We need to take advantage of position to help homeless. They also need to be part of solution. Trust is needed. Also nay services for those wo have to

leave motels. @mmwpro63 Thanks @kmkarbassi for nominating him to Bicycle and Pedestrian committee. Mid-Valley Trail plans hasn't been shown to BPAC yet. Would like to see before construction instead. Debbie Darden: Would also like minded people put into Housing Authority and need

to get that position filled quickly. Sabrina Kelly was at meetings when few were there. Dez Martinez:Reported that $100 million were given to Fresno with some of thatin bank. Why cant we have camps in each districts. They can transition into shelters. Fresno is always a chal-

lenger. We tell homeless there are beds but there isn't. There are those with mental illnesses or addictions. But not all.However the longer they are there they will develop those issues. Important to get them off the streets quickly. @IamEricPayne Sabrina Kelly would be a good

candidate and she was on Habitat for Humanity too. Thanks Caprioglio for his work with colleges.Will approve consent calendar and then go to Closed Session to discuss Fresno Grizzles. Bredefeld no longer needs 1-PP to be pulled. Soria:1-M Habitat for Humanity helps with shortage

of homes. @kmkarbassi Thanks for support for nominees from councilmembers. Sabrina Kelly is a good choice. Consent Calendar is approved except for 1-O which will be discussed after lunch. Heading to Closed Session and then lunch

Council District 1). 1. ADOPT the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration as prepared for Environmental Assessment No. T-6310/P20-00736/P20-00737 dated September 11, 2020 for the proposed project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 2. ***RESOLUTION

-Applicant wishes to Continue this due to lack of Tax Sharing agreement with City and County.

Soria agrees. Motion by Soria and 2nd by Arias Approved 6-0 with Caprioglio absent.

4-A ****RESOLUTION - Naming the Southeast Fresno Police Substation the “Officer Phia Vang Police Station” (Subject to Mayor’s Veto) sponsored by
Councilmember Chavez. Vang service and passion for SE Fresno. Born in Laos and moved after Secret War. Worked in fields with his family

Joined Police Academy in 1991 as one of the first Hmong officers. Chavex' father and Vang were friends despite language differences. Vang lived in SE Fresno and sent his children to SE schools. Fitting the new substation in SE Fresno to be named after him. Vang's son CoryVang

speaks. His father always worked but his action spoke for him. Tried to represent the Hmong people well.Thanks Chavez. Thanks all council and the Police Department . Next Fresno PD Brandon____Miller: What Vang did with his life was good for everyone but especially Hmong people.

SE PD Captain Anthony Martinez : Pia and himself overlapped one year. Vang was there 20 years. Vang alwsys did the extra stuff for his community. Vang often had to have a formal goodbye to his officers before he left. On his last day Vang had said goodbye an hour earlier to

Captain Martinez. Those kind of people really want to hear how your day went. Same when Vang would ask those in community how the PD could help. FAX director Gregory Barfield says it is appropriate the substation is named after Vang as that what was FAX land. Vang also was

assigned to FAX his last year.@gregorybarfield (Councilman Caprioglio is back) Caprioglio says Vang's funeral showed how beloved he was in the Community. Soria: He was an ordinary person making extraordinary differences. Arias: when he was part of naming an elementary school

after General Pao it showed him how close knit Hmong people. Immigrant community that come to Fresno helps make Fresno what it is. Starting with nothing with no bootstraps or boots and move on to being a success. Hopes son Cory Vang knows how much your father meant to Fresno.

Chavez: thanks Blong Xiong and Vang's family. Approved 7-0 From Special Meeting Covid dollars :RESOLUTION - Directing the use of General Fund to pay
for COVID-19 responsive measures (Subject to Mayor’s @LisaYFlores1 wants to know how much will come from General Fund. Financial

Director Lima asks for clarification. Arias:Money needs to be spent by December 31. That money will go into general fund to be expended on Covid contracts that have been already approved such as Fire Department but haven't arrived yet. Mayor Brand agrees. Approved 7-0

Open Session B. Approve material terms of an amended lease with Fresno
Grizzlies Baseball Club and authorize and direct the City
Attorney to complete the agreement and the City Manager to
execute the agreement consistent with the terms approved by
Council.

Arias: Makes notion to Approve. Will make non-baseball days be available to City and community within 60 days. Soria: would like annual audit of baseball team by a third party. @GarryBredefeld Some short sided criticism at press conference yesterday. Same criticism he heard

10-20 years ago when he voted to build the stadium. This was a blighted vacant lot. There was numerous obstacles. Some felt it needed to be mid-town, berms only or not built at all. Downtown needed stimulus. 8-10 million fans have gone thru the doors in the 20 years. We sold it

out at least 5 times and soccer had 16,000. It is a jewel downtown. There is a multiplier effect with downtown stadium. @BitwiseInd Jake Soberal of Bitwise would never built downtown without stadium. (Bredefled lists lots of commercial and housing developments.) We got tax

revenues. Increased property taxes. Stagnant buildings have now changed hands.There will always be Monday Morning Quarterbacks. We should have built this. However Major League has lots of power and took our Triple A team. @D7Esparza He agrees. We were taken aback by this MLB

reorganization but we will have baseball at least and be open to future prospects. Soria: Stadium was a good idea. She may disagree with size of stadium. It is what it is. Parks and Stadiums are not direct money makes but make indirect money makers. That is why we need more parks

and why we need more amenities.@kmkarbassi District 2 voters: this is not a fun vote. City of Fresno is subsidizing baseball. Because i will support this doesn't mean i will support next similar thing. MLB has power.Bredefeld is right there was investment in downtown. Reserves

in coffers is important in recession 2020. Chavez: this is not a difficult vote for him. Bredefeld
quantified the benefits. It is profitable despite bonds taxpayers have to pay. Traffic was brought downtown.Chavez remembers when this was just a parking lot. We will find that

the stadium multiplier effect will show this was profitable. Taco Throwdown at Grizzlies Stadium was on national talk shows. He ate 20 tacos. We need to maximize events at stadium. When national chains left it was small businesses like Tioga that replaced them.Arias: the develop

-ments Bredefeld listed is not due to stadium but what former mayors and councils did. People want to have what north Fresnans have: a neighborhood. There was arguments not to fund a Community Center in District 4 saying all money should go to PD. We were not able to use stadium

on non-baseball days. We will now. General Fund Money can be used also for High Speed Rail station, small businesses, a Community Center in mid-Fresno. We need to reset our mindset as it helps the community. He has community centers in his district that need a new roof.

Approved 7-0. Arias: thanks Mayor and staff for getting us to this point. Mayor thanks council for stepping up in this difficult decision. Next: Limit mass gatherings due to Covid-19. Chavez: Codify what we are asking. Asks Governor Newsom for relef at ICU as well as more vaccine

for medical workers. We want people to be safe. We don't want to take freedoms away but ask people to take care. We don't want to flood ICUs. I don't want people having covid spreaders like backyard concerts and charging for it. Our covid rates are very high and getting worse.

These numbers are real. Need people to be responsible. Chavez makes motion with Arias seconds. Soria: State needs to help medical . Additional medical personel needed. We are in this together. We need heads of County and Fresno PD all saying the same thing. We need our medical

workers to be not so fatigued they can't provide adequate help. Public: @LovesMercy Brandi: thanks for concern for medical workers. We can't open convention center as we don't have enough workers. She has had friends who have had a long time to finally get a hospital bed.

@LisaYFlores1 Get word out that exposure notifications on Android and Apple are now available. Also where does age 50 come from? Also only have finite number of medical workers.What happens if we can't find medical staff Go out for waffles? @kmkarbassi City can reserve right via

Code Enforcement? Sloan agrees. Karbassi: superfluous language and we need unified vote. We don't want to put medical workers in tough position but don't want to put bans on backyard events as it is already in our Code Enforcement. I see parties in his district. They are selfish

but he thinks neighbors need to publicly shame is better. Makes motion to separate point 2 from medical portion. Bredefeld seconds. @D7Esparza This language helps emphasize. I don't see us getting money from State as our County has not done much. We have lip service to health

workers but we need to walk the walk and not watered down legislation. Karbassi: "Lip service". Not Either/Or I worry about schoolchildren and small businesses. If this is left in we won't have 7-0 vote. This on us. He feels new administration will be able to get resources. Arias

says he took brunt of blame. Lots of racist Facebook comments. I did get phone calls about backyard concerts though. Foster Farms, Amazon rules to notify covid exposure. Facebook commenters don't live in my districts and they don't have to see the people in hospital hallways due

to lack of beds. Medical breakdown is here. It is here now.Even then it doesn't stop some. He has a pastor having an indoor concert in his district. PD Chief Hall hasn't been inside hospitals. I am at my wits end. If we can't get on the same page as to preventing deaths. Is 50

the limit for concerts too low? 100, 200 ? We can talk about that. We talked about watering down this bill. Lets not water down the constitution either. We are all frustrated. Everyone knows we can't have a concert. But lets be unified. Chavez: what is happening is what is

happening around the nation. Where did we get to the point of ignoring medical advice. Math doesn't lie. We have to act even if it isn't popular. I revere our Constitutional Rights. People are having concerts. We are all tired of this pandemic. By not reducing the number we are

part of problem. He has family in medical field. Our city can help this by minimizing risks of exposure. Central Valley gets left behind and i don't think Governor will give us allotment. What is City of Fresno going to do when we have no ICU beds? Triage by saying go to hospice

or going home to die? Our society shouldn't be here. We need to sacrifice a bit. Majority are doing the right thing. Nobody likes it. He is ok splitting this up into two parts as Karbassi requested. Bredefeld: doesn't like enforcement part. Lockdowns don't work because it is a

contagious virus. Businesses have been shut down. Fauci said kids are not learning and some commit suicide.Soria is diligent wearing a mask and still got Covid. I like asking Governor but most governors ignore us. Draconian measures help people. If we extradite point 2 I will

vote for this. Chavez: What does Karbassi and Bredefeld do when people have concerts of 50 and 100 ? Arias: Jim Franklin having a concert next week . What do we do? Karbassi: people are worried about their constitution rights. Bredefeld: We shouldn't do anything related to Rev.

Franklin. Karbassi: I do wan't County to give us the actual data. Chavez: I respect Bredefeld that he is honest and he is a clear No.Arias: Vote on both points. Caprioglio: not that complicated. Resolution to ask for resources from Governor. But comments last week got released

and became a flashpoint and we have to squash that down.We now need to get back to original message of request to Governor. Use common sense. @MayorLeeBrand This is a life and death decision. What can we do to lessen number? Heavy club won't help. We already have code enforcement

and we don't need to add numbers like 50 etc. Code can't count numbers from outside. Voluntary compliance is needed. Arias: Item 1 Approved 7-0 Item 2: Approved 4-3 with Bredefeld, Karbassi and Caprioglio voting NO

Council going into Closed Session now.
