The city council convened this morning under the leadership of Chair Tanya Wu, with three members present following the excusal of Council member Strauss. The meeting commenced with a moment of recognition for Gun Violence Awareness Day, as council members donned orange attire to honor survivors and foster community solidarity.

The agenda for the meeting was adopted without objection, setting the stage for discussions on the appointment to the light review panel. While a presentation related to this topic was scheduled, no votes were to be taken today, with decisions deferred to the next meeting.

The council then opened a hybrid public comment period, allowing community members to voice their opinions on the agenda items. Only one speaker, Shobhit Agarwal, was registered to speak in person, with a total of 20 minutes allocated for public comments. Each speaker was given two minutes to present their views, with a reminder to conclude promptly as time limits were enforced.

The meeting reflects the council's ongoing commitment to addressing community issues, particularly those surrounding gun violence, while also engaging with public input on important local governance matters.
