[Music] [Applause] Hi everyone, my name is Sydney Tinleen and I'm one of the Clearwater Sisters of the Young Ambassadors. First I want to say a huge thank you to City Council for the scholarship. It was honestly a life-changing trip. So for my first trip, so for the first week we went to Tokyo Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nara, and Hiogo. We got to see so much. In Tokyo we saw the Skytree and City View from really high up, which was crazy because the city goes on forever. In Nara we saw temples, deer, and shrines. And in Hiroshima we saw the Peace Memorial. I also got to do some Japanese calligraphy on a wooden board. It's harder than it looks. One of my favorite parts of going to Japan was going to S ucker, go to junior high school for two full days. School in Japan is really different from here. They have to take their shoes off when they go in and students clean the school themselves. And they even eat lunch in their classrooms. Everyone was so welcoming. I was a little nervous at first because of the language barrier, but all we needed was Google Translate and hand motions and we were laughing the whole time. For the second part of my homestay trip, I stayed with She ena Takayama. She actually stayed with my family in Clear water first and then I went to stay with her family in Nag ano. It was really cool to see her again in Japan. Her family was amazing. They took me everywhere. In Nagano there are huge mountains with snow on top even in the summer. We did so many fun activi …

Music playing Good afternoon. Music playing All in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed? Motion carries. Next on our agenda today is for public comment on any matters not on today's agenda. Is there any person wishing to address the board concerning any matter that does not appear on today's agenda? Please come forward, state your name clearly into the microphone, and welcome back. Hello guys. My name is Alex Stein, S-T-E-I-N, and I have a serious grievance that I came here for. I just got off a fabulous Carnival cruise ship, other than the fact that I lost about $6,400 in the casino. It was a great time. I'm wearing this ridiculous mask. I got diagnosed with Hantavirus, and I don't want anybody. And I got monkeypox, but I'm vaccinated for both, so I think that I will be okay. But I was planning on going on that beautiful Carnival cruise with my wife, Deborah, until she met a guy named Jeremy that told her about this really cool New Age spiritual religion that can bring her to a place of clarity. And you know what? I thought at first, oh, this is a pretty cool thing, you know? It was all about self-help. I was watching Grant Cardone podcasts. I was thinking about investing in real estate. And then the next thing I know, I'm looking at my wife's text messages, and she's sending scandalous pictures to Jeremy. And then she sits me down two weeks before we're supposed to go on this cruise, and she says, Alex, I know you're so excited for this cruise. You've been working so hard for th …
