Vote tallies (voice confirmations recorded) - Council Member Delgado: Yes (on items recorded) - Council Member Gonzales: Yes - Council Member Barnard: Yes - Mayor Pro Tem Baca Santa Cruz: Yes
Notes - The meeting minutes show that the Davis Road action was requested by adjacent property owners (State of California and California Department of Fish and Wildlife) citing conservation concerns around Mystic Lake. - The mural item drew public comment raising questions about artistic provenance and the use of artificial intelligence in the application; the item was nevertheless approved with the recorded amendment. - The transcript did not specify detailed funding sources for either the gate installation or the mural beyond the $20,000 project figure presented for the mural.
These actions conclude the council’s recorded votes for the Jan. 21, 2025 meeting. Staff will carry out implementation tasks identified in each motion and report back as needed.
