Andrea Vega, introduced in the record as an organizer with \"Fruit and Waterwatch,\" told the committee she supported agenda item 8 and urged committee members to back a state-level \"superfund\" approach that would require oil and other polluters to pay for environmental damage. \"This would benefit California, especially after the recent fires in Los Angeles, and it would bring equity by making polluters pay for the harm they have caused,\" Vega said (public comment at 153.17'208.14 in the transcript).

Other speakers linked environmental policy to local water resilience. A speaker identified in the record as Yolanda Marsh said she lives in the Valley and opposed the Delta tunnel, urging investment in local stormwater capture as a climate adaptation priority. Marsh also raised concerns about increased fear in immigrant communities and requested more funding for legal services for immigrants, saying her community has been \"attacked\" and needs additional support.

Jenna Henry, recorded as speaking from District 10, also urged the committee to vote in favor of the resolution supporting the polluters'pay approach and noted other California cities had passed similar resolutions. Daniel Tam, identified in the record as a dean at Holy Nativity Episcopal Church and affiliated with local faith networks, also supported the item and described it as an economic-justice measure that would require polluters to compensate families and taxpayers for damages.

Other public comments included concerns about the enforcement of short-term rental licensing (a speaker identified as Nicolás Cabello asked the committee to support enforcement and referenced \"SV 346\"), procedural concerns about charter-committee appointments and Brown Act compliance raised by a speaker who said he had filed a Brown Act complaint with the city attorney, and brief general requests about allowing more extended public testimony at council meetings.

The transcript records these public remarks during the agenda'call and public comment portions of the meeting. Several of the items requested by public speakers were later on the committee's consent calendar (including the resolution described as item 8); the transcript indicates that the consent agenda was adopted by the committee later in the meeting.

Committee members present established a quorum at the start of the special meeting. The committee took a group of items listed on the agenda under unanimous consent, moving a set of resolutions and reports (agenda items described in the meeting as Nos. 1–16) into the city’s 2025–26 legislative program.

The agenda text read into the record listed multiple specific bill requests and positions, including support for a range of Assembly and Senate measures (the transcript lists item numbers and bill numbers as read into the record). Committee staff recommended taking those items by consensus; the chair called the roll and the committee recorded the approval as five in favor and no opposition.

Later the committee considered nominations to the charter reform committee. The committee confirmed five nominees — Carla Fuentes (listed as “Carla Makelo Fuentes” in the public record), James (last name not specified in the transcript), Thomas (last name not specified), Diego Andrade, Andrea Mac, and Michael Yab — to serve on the charter reform committee. An executive staff member described the selection process to the committee, saying the panel reviewed more than 140 applications and forwarded a group of roughly 20 candidates for further consideration. The interim chair of the charter selection panel said the panel sought to improve representation across the city’s geography, race and age and that the panel had not yet made recommendations on specific charter changes.

The committee then called the roll on the five nominees; the vote was recorded as five in favor and the appointments were approved.

No additional formal amendments or individual roll-call votes were reported in the transcript for the consent package; staff noted one technical correction on an item earlier in the meeting, and the committee confirmed the corrected item before the consent vote.

The meeting adjourned after the votes were recorded.
