▶ 9:55 Leila Migliorelli: Madam President, this comes from the Appropriations and Oversight Committee with a recommendation for passage as amended. And at this time I motion for
▶ 10:02 Speaker 9: Passage. Second.
▶ 10:04 Speaker 5: So we have a motion for passage of this order as amended made by Councillor
▶ 10:07 Jen Grigoraitis: Meli, seconded by Councillor Ella. Any discussion? Councilor Carm Shady.
▶ 10:12 Manjula Karamcheti: Um, just really quickly, uh, I wanted to just apologize for not being at the initial discussion and vote last week. It was my anniversary and I'm trying to stay married. Um, but if I had been here, there would've been one more Yes. Vote. Um, so I wanted to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues for amending what was put down and putting it forward in this way. Um, and I just also wanted to, again, take, take the opportunity to say thank you to the incredible Public Safety Committee, uh, for their work. Um, I think I've said numerous times that it was exceptional and involved a lot of constituents and a lot of volunteers and a lot of voices which matters. Um, and the only thing I would like to add is that if voters do support this measure, I hope that we will also come together again to make sure that we support any Mel Rosens who find the increase in finances, a hardship, and do what we can to support them as well. Um, but I a hundred percent am excited about how things turned out last week and looking forward to voting.
