The San Francisco City Council meeting held on April 24, 2025, commenced with a quorum established by Chair Williams and the attendance of several council members. The meeting began with a formal land acknowledgment, recognizing the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Shalone, the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. This acknowledgment emphasized respect for the indigenous community and their ongoing connection to the land.

Following the land acknowledgment, the council addressed the absences of members Jackson, Preston, and Villas Martinez. A motion was made and seconded to excuse these absences, which passed unanimously among the present members.

The meeting then transitioned to general public comment, inviting community members to share their thoughts both in person and via phone. Participants were given two minutes each to express their views, highlighting the council's commitment to public engagement and transparency.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's respect for indigenous heritage and its efforts to include community voices in local governance.
