Oh, wow. Thank you. So we gave away four bikes to kids, and it's just amazing to see the kids when they went a bike, to see the look on their face. It's just amazing. I also want to add for Fourth of July, all the staff that's involved, where they're sacrificing their holiday to work out there those long hours because Seacoast is blocked off the entire day. I appreciate each and every one of you guys for sacrificing your own personal holiday for the greater good of Imperial Beach, and it's amazing. That's my favorite holiday by far. It just brings the community together. There's so much to do. It brings honor to that. I could be a part of that. Okay, moving on. The Mayor's Breakfast I attended on the 17th, 18th, I went to Sun and Sea Festival. On the 30th, I had MTV, I mean MTS, I keep on saying MTV, M TS Board of Directors. On the 1st, I attended the Honor Flight Cook-Off, and I had the Mayor's Chili. Your Chili game is stepping up, even though Marty took second place. I see Marty over there. He's all proud of that two years in a row. And then lastly, last night, the National Night Out at Veterans Park. That event is amazing because it brings everyone together, and I just love the fact that the city gives away coffee. Costco hot dogs. Those things are amazing. So that's all I have, Mayor. Thank you. Great. Thank you for that report. We'll move on to Mayor Pro Tem Fisher. Mayor, I'm so sorry. I actually sped through my report that I forgot one of my own things. If we can come …

Thank you. And then on Monday, June 15th, another invitation for a special preview of the newly renovated San Diego, California temple. And if you ever go up Highway 5, and if you ever go up Highway 5, it's a church of Jesus, the church of Jesus, L atter-day Saints. And what a building. I'm telling you, it took them three years to renovate this building that's over 30 years old. And they had it open from Monday until today, the last day, for tourists to go through there. And it was an amazing maze to get through there. But so much, it was beautiful. You had to even put booties on your socks because the carpet is like a white lamb color. And if you ever get a chance to take a tour of that, I would do that. It was really very peaceful. And today, June 17th at 7.30 to 3 o'clock, the entire bike trail from 13th Street to 7th Street, they had weed abatement, mowing, raking, chainsaw, weed eating, tree removal, cacti removal, which needed to be gone for a long time. And most of the people, a lot of the people that did it are in here. It was the combined crews of our city worker departments, 15 to 20 men, all of them working as a team, getting that whole path cleared away. Parks and facilities were there. Response team, tidelands, this whole street department, the sewer department, which is here tonight as well, and capital improvement staff. They did an excellent, phenomenal job in the hot sun with no shade. And if you get a chance, take a walk down or a ride down our bikeway path …

DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. I have reviewed the proposed project and support its approval.  I do have several questions and comments for your consideration. Newly appointed DRB member Crosby should recuse herself to avoid the appearance of conflict of interest.  As she is a realtor who specializes in beachfront and coastal properties,  her business could easily be impacted by this project.   For this reason, I do not think she should be selected for an officer position either. The applicant's request to have the landscaping in the public right of way included in the 15% on site landscaping requirement is reasonable.  It will enhance the streetscape without detracting from the ov …

DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. My name is Donna MacKersie, and I've owned and resided in homes in IB since 1993. I am always surprised that a town like this does not have one large stage venue for concerts and dozens of other uses. THE PERFECT LOCATION WOULD BE ON THE WESTERNMOST END OF IB BOULEVARD IN THE LARGELY VACANT NORTHWEST LOT. (I used to walk from my home near 5th and Elm down to this intersection and watch the ocean, as well as people feeding little squirrels on the rocks below, but haven't seen them lately!) The Salty Frog is really the only music venue, but it's so tiny and isn't a place where other events could be held. A beautiful venue there would be loved by our people and would create income for the City and it's bars and restaurants. And of …
