Daly City has taken a significant step towards honoring its Indigenous heritage by adopting a land acknowledgment resolution recognizing the Ramaytush Ohlone people. During the City Council meeting on November 25, 2024, council members expressed their commitment to equity and inclusion, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the land's history and its original inhabitants. This resolution marks a long-overdue recognition of the Ohlone peoples' connection to the land, with council members highlighting the need for ongoing collaboration with the community.

Vice Mayor Das Moguel and other council members voiced their support for the resolution, which was passed unanimously. The acknowledgment is seen as a vital step in fostering a more inclusive community and ensuring that the contributions of the Ohlone people are recognized and respected.

In addition to the land acknowledgment, the council appointed Council Member Glenn Sylvester to continue serving a four-year term on the Board of Trustees for the San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District. Sylvester, who has been on the board for nearly six years, discussed the importance of bringing resources to Daly City and addressing equity in public health initiatives. He also highlighted the need for workplace violence training, which was established in 2023, to ensure the safety of city staff.

The meeting underscored the council's commitment to addressing community needs and enhancing public safety, with discussions on various initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for Daly City residents. As the council moves forward, the focus remains on fostering a community that values its history while addressing contemporary challenges.
