Mayor Andres delivered a ceremonial holiday greeting, wishing residents happy holidays and noting that the city had just closed out Hanukkah with a menorah lighting in front of City Hall. He invited residents to visit the menorah and the new Christmas-tree-lined rotary trail at Central Park and said the city is "closing out a truly historic year" as it looks forward to its Centennial celebration in 2026.

The remarks were ceremonial in nature and included seasonal well-wishes; the transcript records no motions, votes, policy discussion, or formal agenda items during this segment.
