3 Minute Mayor Disregards Request to Speak on Agenda Item:

Cindi Bidney reports that she had submitted two requests to speak. One on an agenda item, approval of the last Council Minutes and the second for a Public Comment related to the Eminent Domain Reform Ordinance.

NO one knew about the Mayor Skipping over her first request to speak, but the issue is important, so I will fill you in.

Last night I submitted a request to speak to amend the minutes to include Angelica Baltazar' presentation to the City Council from the County of San Bernardino Department of public Health.

Once again Mrs. Ferre railroaded the agenda and skipped a speaker request. She consulted with the City Attorney about making the prior changes requested to the minutes before clearing that no one else had a request to speak to the minutes item. She got her answer and then requested a motion to have the minutes revised, as to the Swartfiger Trailer Repair Issues in particular.

What Ms. Bidney wanted was a more inclusive presentation of what Mrs. Baltazar had a lot to say about the ill-health of our community and the need to increase activity for all of our children is a matter of record. She quoted facts that had been presented before, but ignored. Her comments seemed to be disregarded by the council and were not reflected sufficiently in the minutes for historical reference.

The Agenda Item was Moved to be rewritten, and Ms. Bidneys request to speak on the minutes summarily dismissed or disregarded from that point.

Ms. Bidney has requested that the minutes be revised on this subject to council members and the city clerk it is hoped that the revised minutes will reflect a more inclusive representation of the statements and facts presented.

THEN the Exchange of the 3 Minutes happened when it was time to present the Eminent Domain Limitation Ord.

Mayor Ferre words welcomed people to the meeting, her actions demonstrate a different tact.
