| 00:00:54.74 | Walfred Solorzano | Mayor Hoffman. |
| 00:00:56.29 | Jill Hoffman | Present. There's a quorum. We have one member who's not present and that is council member Cleveland Knowles. But I expect she'll be joining us shortly. I'm not sure. There we will be discussing one item in closed session, and that is B1, conference with legal counsel regarding existing litigation pursuant to California government code section 54956.9 D1. The name of the case is Sausageo, Chapter of the California Homeless Union versus the city of Sausalito, United States District Court. case number, 3-TAC-21-CV-01143-LB. Do I have any, I will now open public comment for any closed session items. |
| 00:01:45.97 | Walfred Solorzano | Madam Mayor, it looks like we do have Charlie with the hand raised. |
| 00:01:49.30 | Unknown | Okay, very good. Um, |
| 00:01:51.15 | Charles Melton | Thank you. |
| 00:01:52.55 | Walfred Solorzano | Charlie, you've been unmuted and asked to share your video. |
| 00:01:56.59 | Charles Melton | Hi, can you all hear me? Yes, we can go ahead, please. Great, thank you. Hello, everyone. I'd like to make a couple of comments on the existing litigation, Sausalito Homeless Union versus City of Sausalito. Vice mayor Kelman on December |
| 00:02:10.96 | Unknown | as part of the enhanced management security plan. You said, I'd like to see daily reports from Urban Alchemy. I'd like to see that distributed to the council under attorney client privilege, since we are in litigation. Okay. With regard to that specifically, who are the named individuals being reported on under this so-called security plan? Is my name there? Is it the plaintiffs? Who are they? Where are they? Are they from the Anchor Out community? Are they unhoused in Sausalito? Do you have the list from dumping? have the list for Marin shit Do any of you truly know who is who? compelling testimony would be fascinating. But more importantly, you should have been put on notice in advance that any such communications between Urban Alchemy and this government, as it pertains to persons not listed as a plaintiff in this case, would not be protected by attorney-client privilege. nor would it be appropriate, especially from the site director for urban alchemy, Michael. Yeah. |
| 00:03:14.48 | Charles Melton | Secondly, with regard to ongoing litigation, in the allegation of fecal contamination at Marin Ship Park. on 10-23-22. |
| 00:03:23.97 | Unknown | the camp was flooded from the atmospheric rainfall. The fencing head collapsed onto tents. People were ankle deep in sludge. as a result of the water coming downhill purging the historically inadequate storm in public sewer system, which caused the water to blend and spill over nearby, flooding the low-lying encampment. According to the California Environmental Protection Agency report, an estimated 132,000. Thank you. 500 gallons. once subsided, drained out to Richardson Bay. Shoes. clothing, betting. everything rotted. I am of the opinion that is how the widespread contamination occurred at this site. people became ill. And had infected wounds afterwards. The Department of Public Works never came. In fact, no one from the city responded until late the following day, at which time a disaster declaration was made. specifically in regard to the encampment. Which brings me to the question. What was the governor's response to the city manager, Mr. Zapata's request for funds? Did we get the money? If so, what is it being used for? Thank you very much. |
| 00:04:36.98 | Jill Hoffman | Thank you very much. you Do I have any other public comment for this closed session? item. |
| 00:04:44.31 | Walfred Solorzano | Madam Mayor, it doesn't look like we have any other hands raised at the moment. |
