[Captioner] 19:26:40
AS YOU KNOW, I JUST CAME FROM 

[Captioner] 19:26:42
SPAIN FOR VACATION, AND I 

[Captioner] 19:26:43
ATTENDED THE LAST COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 19:26:45
MEETING FROM SPAIN, AND WHILE IN 

[Captioner] 19:26:48
SPAIN, I HAD THE HONOR TO VISIT 

[Captioner] 19:26:54
THE CHURCH AND TOMB OF ST. 

[Captioner] 19:26:57
TERESA OF AVILA.

[Captioner] 19:26:59
IF YOU'RE CATHOLIC AND I KNOW 

[Captioner] 19:27:00
HOW IMPORTANT THAT PERSON IS IN 

[Captioner] 19:27:02
THE HISTORY OF CATHOLIC CHURCH.

[Captioner] 19:27:08
AND INTERESTINGLY, I FOUND THAT 

[Captioner] 19:27:11
INTRODUCTION AND THE BIOGRAPHY 

[Captioner] 19:27:14
OF ST. TERESA WAS NOT EVEN AS 

[Captioner] 19:27:16
LONG AS WHAT HAS BEEN READ TO 

[Captioner] 19:27:16
YOU TONIGHT.

[Captioner] 19:27:22
SO I'M VERY GLAD THAT WE HAVE

[Captioner] 19:27:25
 ST. TERESA OF FREMONT THAT I 

[Captioner] 19:27:27
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK 

[Captioner] 19:27:29
WITH, AND -- BUT MOST 

[Captioner] 19:27:34
IMPORTANTLY, I THINK IT'S AN 

[Captioner] 19:27:38
HONOR TO WORK AS A TEAM WITH

[Captioner] 19:27:40
 EVERYONE IN THE CITY COUNCIL, 

[Captioner] 19:27:44
IT'S NO LONGER I, I, IT'S RATHER 

[Captioner] 19:27:48
WE, WE, THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO 

[Captioner] 19:27:48
REMEMBER.

[Captioner] 19:27:53
I WISH COUNCILMEMBER TERESA COX 

[Captioner] 19:27:57
THE BEST LUCK IN HER FURTHER 

[Captioner] 19:28:01
PURSUIT OF SUCCESS IN ANY AREA,

[Captioner] 19:28:03
 AND ALSO IT REMINDS ME THAT IN 

[Captioner] 19:28:05
TWO YEARS, I'M GOING TO TERM 

[Captioner] 19:28:09
OUT, AND I CAN ALSO WRITE SUCH A 

[Captioner] 19:28:09

[Captioner] 19:30:32
SERVICE ON THE CITY COUNCIL.

[Captioner] 19:30:34
I FIRST GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO 

[Captioner] 19:30:36
MEET WITH COUNCILMEMBER COX AND 

[Captioner] 19:30:38
I AGREE WITH COUNCILMEMBER 

[Captioner] 19:30:39
SALWAN ON HER WONDERFUL CHILDREN 

[Captioner] 19:30:41
WHO I MET ORIGINALLY AT SOUTH 

[Captioner] 19:30:42
BAY COMMUNITY CHURCH, WHETHER 

[Captioner] 19:30:44
IT'S YOUR PROJECTS WITH ARTS OR 

[Captioner] 19:30:46
WITH THE COMMUNITY, AND ENGAGING 

[Captioner] 19:30:49
PEOPLE FOR VOTERS REGISTRATION, 

[Captioner] 19:30:50
AND AWARENESS, I THINK THAT'S 

[Captioner] 19:30:54
BEEN VERY IMPORTANT . I'VE 

[Captioner] 19:30:55
CERTAINLY HAD THE PLEASURE SINCE 

[Captioner] 19:30:57
MY SON WENT TO IRVINGTON TO BE 

[Captioner] 19:30:58
ABLE TO SEE THE WORK IN 

[Captioner] 19:30:59
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STUDENTS.

[Captioner] 19:31:00
OVER THE YEARS WHETHER IT'S 

[Captioner] 19:31:01
SERVING ON THE SCHOOL BOARD OR 

[Captioner] 19:31:03
WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 

[Captioner] 19:31:04
OHLONE ON EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS, I 

[Captioner] 19:31:05
THINK THOSE INITIATIVES HAVE 

[Captioner] 19:31:07
BEEN VERY IMPORTANT, IN 

[Captioner] 19:31:08
PARTICULAR, FOCUSING ON YOUTH, 

[Captioner] 19:31:10
AND IN THESE LAST COUPLE YEARS, 

[Captioner] 19:31:11
I THINK WORKING TOGETHER IN 

[Captioner] 19:31:14
CONCERT WITH OUR COUNCIL, THE 

[Captioner] 19:31:16
ISSUES TO FOCUS ON HOMELESSNESS 

[Captioner] 19:31:18
AND ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS, AND IN 

[Captioner] 19:31:19
PARTICULAR, I KNOW THAT MOVING 

[Captioner] 19:31:20
FORWARD, WE HOPE TO CONTINUE TO 

[Captioner] 19:31:22
BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THAT IN 

[Captioner] 19:31:24
PARTNERSHIP WITH ALL THOSE WHO 

[Captioner] 19:31:25
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT, 

[Captioner] 19:31:26
BECAUSE TRULY, I THINK WHAT 

[Captioner] 19:31:28
WE'VE DEMONSTRATED OVER THE 

[Captioner] 19:31:29
YEARS AND YOU'VE SHARED EARLIER 

[Captioner] 19:31:31
IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRULY 

[Captioner] 19:31:32
EVEN BE ELECTED TO MAKE THE 

[Captioner] 19:31:33
DIFFERENCE, YOU JUST HAVE TO 

[Captioner] 19:31:33
CARE.

[Captioner] 19:31:35
AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE 

[Captioner] 19:31:39
NEED FROM OUR COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 19:31:41
WE HAVE ALL BEEN HUMBLED TO BE 

[Captioner] 19:31:42
ABLE TO SERVE BUT I THINK THE 

[Captioner] 19:31:44
BIGGEST DIFFERENCE WE'VE MADE, 

[Captioner] 19:31:45
WITH OUR STAFF, WITH OUR 

[Captioner] 19:31:46
COMMUNITY MEMBERS, IS THE FACT 

[Captioner] 19:31:47
YOU JUST CARE ENOUGH TO WANT TO 

[Captioner] 19:31:49
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, SO I WISH 

[Captioner] 19:31:50
YOU ALL THE BEST IN TERMS OF THE 

[Captioner] 19:31:52
NEXT STEPS AND HOW WE CAN 

[Captioner] 19:31:53
CONTINUE IN WHATEVER ROLES THAT 

[Captioner] 19:31:56
WE ARE AS COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO 

[Captioner] 19:31:57
ALWAYS MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO 

[Captioner] 19:31:58
THOSE WHO ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO 

[Captioner] 19:31:58
US.

[Captioner] 19:32:00
AND THE BEST PRODUCT IN OUR CITY 

[Captioner] 19:32:02
THAT MAKES US THE HAPPIEST BY 

[Captioner] 19:32:02
FAR HAS BEEN THE PEOPLE.

[Captioner] 19:32:04
SO BLESSINGS TO ALL AND TO YOU 

[Captioner] 19:32:06
AND YOUR FAMILY FOR THE HOLIDAY 

[Captioner] 19:32:06
SEASON.

[Captioner] 19:43:39

THROUGHOUT MY TENURE, WE'VE

[Captioner] 19:43:56

[Captioner] 19:44:00

[Captioner] 19:44:02

HOMELESSNESS IN FREMONT.

[Captioner] 19:44:04

[Captioner] 19:44:05
HAD OVER 3,000 SPEAKERS AND ON 

[Captioner] 19:44:07
THE NIGHT OF THE VOTE, OVER 550, 

[Captioner] 19:44:10
AND WHILE IT WAS CERTAINLY A 

[Captioner] 19:44:11
CONTROVERSIAL AND CONTENTIOUS 

[Captioner] 19:44:13
DISCUSSION, I WAS DEEPLY HUMBLED 

[Captioner] 19:44:14
AND GRATEFUL THAT WE WERE ABLE 

[Captioner] 19:44:16
TO HAVE THE ENTIRE COUNCIL COME 

[Captioner] 19:44:17
TOGETHER AND AGREE ON THAT.

[Captioner] 19:44:23
I'M HONORED TO HAVE PLAYED A 

[Captioner] 19:44:25
SUPPORT ROLE TO THE VULNERABLE 

[Captioner] 19:44:26

MENTIONED EARLIER, THE AFGHAN 

[Captioner] 19:44:32
REFUGEE FAMILIES.

[Captioner] 19:44:35
THROUGH TIRELESS FUNDRAISING 

[Captioner] 19:44:37
EFFORTS AND I HAVE TO LOOK 

[Captioner] 19:44:39
CLOSELY ALSO AT MY NEIGHBORING 

[Captioner] 19:44:40
COUNCILMEMBER, WE EVEN HAVE 

[Captioner] 19:44:41
WORKED TOGETHER FOR ALL OF OUR 

[Captioner] 19:44:42
ANIMALS TOO.

[Captioner] 19:44:46
SO TWO LEG AND FOUR LEG 

[Captioner] 19:44:46
CONSTITUENTS.

[Captioner] 19:44:50
BUT DURING THE COVID-19 

[Captioner] 19:44:51
PANDEMIC, WE WORKED DILIGENTLY 

[Captioner] 19:44:52
TO SUPPORT OUR RESIDENTS AND 

[Captioner] 19:44:54
LOCAL BUSINESSES ENSURING THEIR 

[Captioner] 19:44:55
HEALTH, SAFETY AND ACCESS TO 

[Captioner] 19:44:57
CRITICAL RESOURCES, AND 

[Captioner] 19:44:58
TOGETHER, WE DELIVERED THOUSANDS 

[Captioner] 19:45:00
OF BOXES OF MASKS, FOOD, 

[Captioner] 19:45:02
SUPPLIES, TANGIBLE EMBODIMENTS 

[Captioner] 19:45:04
OF FREMONT'S UNWAVERING 

[Captioner] 19:45:06
COMMITMENT TO UPLIFTING THOSE 

[Captioner] 19:45:06
WHO ARE MOST VULNERABLE.

[Captioner] 19:45:10
AND SO I JOKED AT TIMES, I SAID 

[Captioner] 19:45:11
I'M THE FREMONT MAYOR BUT I'M 

[Captioner] 19:45:14
NOT THE CEO, SO THIS IS A CITY 

[Captioner] 19:45:16
MANAGER-LED FORM OF GOVERNMENT, 

[Captioner] 19:45:21
BUT I HOPE TO BE -- I

[Captioner] 19:45:22
 JOKINGLY SAID IT'S THE CHIEF 

[Captioner] 19:45:24
JOKE OFFICER AND THAT MEANS WHEN 

[Captioner] 19:45:25
IT'S DARKEST OR MOST 

[Captioner] 19:45:26
CHALLENGING, TO BE ABLE TO BRING 

[Captioner] 19:45:28

[Captioner] 19:45:30
AND PROGRAMS AND AS THE 

[Captioner] 19:45:30
ASSEMBLYMEMBER MENTIONED 

[Captioner] 19:45:32
EARLIER, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT 

[Captioner] 19:45:34
FOR US TO BE ABLE TO TRANSLATE 

[Captioner] 19:45:37
WHAT YOU SEE IN A NUMBER OR IN A 

[Captioner] 19:45:38
BILL OR LEGISLATION BUT TO 

[Captioner] 19:45:40

[Captioner] 19:45:41

[Captioner] 19:45:43

[Captioner] 19:46:45

THEN FOR NATIONAL LEAGUE OF 

[Captioner] 19:47:41
CITIES FOR APOMO AS THEIR 

[Captioner] 19:47:43
PRESIDENT BUT ALSO DEEPLY PROUD 

[Captioner] 19:47:44
THAT I'M PART OF THE U.S. 

[Captioner] 19:47:45
CONFERENCE OF MAYORS BOARD WHICH 

[Captioner] 19:47:47
HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 93 YEARS AND 

[Captioner] 19:47:49
FOR THE LONGEST TIME THEY'VE HAD 

[Captioner] 19:47:52
A LATINO MAYORS ALLIANCE, BLACK 

[Captioner] 19:47:53
MAYORS ALLIANCE, ALMOST THREE 

[Captioner] 19:47:54
YEARS AGO NOW I WAS ABLE TO 

[Captioner] 19:47:56
FOUND AND CHAIR THE ASIAN MAYORS 

[Captioner] 19:47:56
ALLIANCE.

[Captioner] 19:47:58
BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IF 

[Captioner] 19:48:00
WE ARE THE FIRST, THAT WE'RE NOT 

[Captioner] 19:48:00
THE LAST.

[Captioner] 19:48:03
THAT WE BUILD A LEGACY AND WE 

[Captioner] 19:48:05
BUILD A PIPELINE TO ENSURE THOSE 

[Captioner] 19:48:07
WHO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE THOSE 

[Captioner] 19:48:11
ROLE MODELS, AND I, TOO, HAVE 

[Captioner] 19:48:13
STOOD ON THE SHOULDERS OF THOSE 

[Captioner] 19:48:13
WHO COME BEFORE ME.

[Captioner] 19:48:16
I'M PRIVILEGED TO FOLLOW SO MANY 

[Captioner] 19:48:18
GREAT FELLOW LEADERS, WHETHER 

[Captioner] 19:48:19
IT'S WOMEN, OR THOSE WHO ARE IN 

[Captioner] 19:48:21
OUR AAPI COMMUNITY OR JUST OUR 

[Captioner] 19:48:23
REGULAR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, IF 

[Captioner] 19:48:24
YOU LOOK ON THE WALL OUTSIDE, 

[Captioner] 19:48:27
YOU'LL SEE ON THE PICTURE AND 

[Captioner] 19:48:29
HISTORY, I'M HONORED TO BE THE 

[Captioner] 19:48:30
EIGHTH COUNCIL WOMAN AND THERE'S 

[Captioner] 19:48:32
ACTUALLY A 35-YEAR PERIOD WITH 

[Captioner] 19:48:33
NO WOMEN, AND SO TO SEE THAT 

[Captioner] 19:48:36
WE'VE CHANGED THAT ON OUR 

[Captioner] 19:48:38
COUNCIL DAIS, THAT WE'VE CHANGED 

[Captioner] 19:48:39
THE DIVERSITY AND REPRESENTATION 

[Captioner] 19:48:41
OF THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN A TRUE 

[Captioner] 19:48:42
HONOR TO ME.

[Captioner] 19:48:43
TO BE ABLE TO BE PART OF THAT.

[Captioner] 19:48:46
OVER THE YEARS, FOR NATIONAL 

[Captioner] 19:48:48
LEAGUE OF CITIES, AND WE JUST 

[Captioner] 19:48:49
WENT THROUGH THIS CONTENTIOUS 

[Captioner] 19:48:51
TIME BUT I ALSO WAS PART OF THE 

[Captioner] 19:48:53
PRESIDENTIAL TASK FORCE AND 

[Captioner] 19:48:54
WORKING WITH OUR CANDIDATES AND 

[Captioner] 19:48:56
I'M HOPING THAT WITH WHATEVER 

[Captioner] 19:48:57
HAPPENS IN THESE TRANSITIONS, 

[Captioner] 19:48:59
THAT WE'RE NOT ABOUT POLITICS 

[Captioner] 19:49:00
AND THAT WE SHOULD PICK THE 

[Captioner] 19:49:02
PEOPLE OVER THE POLITICS AT ALL 

[Captioner] 19:49:02
TIMES.

[Captioner] 19:49:07
AND THAT WHEN I SERVED ON THE 

[Captioner] 19:49:08
MAYOR'S EDUCATION TASK FORCE 

[Captioner] 19:49:10
OVER THESE LAST COUPLE YEARS, 

[Captioner] 19:49:11
WHILE I CAME FROM THE SCHOOL 

[Captioner] 19:49:13
BOARD AND I'M HONORED TO HAVE 

[Captioner] 19:49:13
STARTED THAT TREND AND SINCE 

[Captioner] 19:49:17
THEN, I HAVE TO THANK OUR 

[Captioner] 19:49:19
COUNCILMEMBER YANG SHAO AND ALSO 

[Captioner] 19:49:24

[Captioner] 19:49:31
MODELS AND STEWARDS AND EXAMPLES 

[Captioner] 19:49:32
FOR THAT.

[Captioner] 19:49:34
I ALSO WANTED TO SAY THAT OVER 

[Captioner] 19:49:36
THE YEARS, I'M HONORED TO HAVE 

[Captioner] 19:49:37
BEEN ABLE TO HIGHLIGHT THE GREAT 

[Captioner] 19:49:39
THINGS THAT WE DO IN FREMONT, 

[Captioner] 19:49:41
NOT JUST HERE IN OUR CITY, BUT 

[Captioner] 19:49:43
IN REGIONAL AND NATIONAL 

[Captioner] 19:49:43
CONFERENCES.

[Captioner] 19:49:45
I HAD THE PLEASURE OF 

[Captioner] 19:49:47
REPRESENTING US AT AMERICA'S 

[Captioner] 19:49:50
CITY SUMMIT AT COP28 TO TALK 

[Captioner] 19:49:51
ABOUT GREETING OF OUR CITIES IN 

[Captioner] 19:49:55
DUBAI AND MOST RECENTLY, A FEW 

[Captioner] 19:49:56
WEEKS AGO, TO BE ABLE TO BE PART 

[Captioner] 19:49:58
OF THE SOUTHEAST ASIAN CLEAN 

[Captioner] 19:50:00
ENERGY FORUM AND TO BE ONE OF 

[Captioner] 19:50:01

[Captioner] 19:50:02
UNITED STATES FOR US AID AND TO 

[Captioner] 19:50:05
BE ABLE TO HELP KICK OFF THEIR 

[Captioner] 19:50:07
FIRST EVER INAUGURAL MAYORAL 

[Captioner] 19:50:08
SUMMIT WORKING WITH OTHER 

[Captioner] 19:50:12
COUNTRIES, WHETHER BU TON,

[Captioner] 19:50:17
 INDIA, TO ENSURE WHAT

[Captioner] 19:50:19
 WE DO HERE CAN BE SHARED 

[Captioner] 19:50:19
WORLDWIDE.

[Captioner] 19:50:21
THESE REINFORCED OUR CITY'S 

[Captioner] 19:50:22
COMMITMENT TO OUR SHARED GOALS 

[Captioner] 19:50:23
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF 

[Captioner] 19:50:24
COLLABORATION ON A GLOBAL 

[Captioner] 19:50:24
SCALE.

[Captioner] 19:50:26
HOWEVER, IT'S THESE SMALL 

[Captioner] 19:50:28
MOMENTS THAT WE HAVE TODAY, 

[Captioner] 19:50:29
FOSTERING CIVIL DISCOURSE AT 

[Captioner] 19:50:31
CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, ENGAGING 

[Captioner] 19:50:32
IN MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS WITH 

[Captioner] 19:50:33
THE PUBLIC, WITH COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 19:50:34
MEMBERS, WITH COFFEE WITH THE 

[Captioner] 19:50:35
COPS WHEN WE'RE OUT THERE 

[Captioner] 19:50:36
TALKING WITH ALL OF YOU.

[Captioner] 19:50:38
AND CONNECTING WITH OUR YOUTH 

[Captioner] 19:50:41
THAT HAVE LEFT AN INDELIBLE MARK 

[Captioner] 19:50:43
ON MY HEART.

[Captioner] 19:50:45
THESE INTERACTIONS REMINDED ME 

[Captioner] 19:50:48
THAT TRUE LEADERSHIP IS ABOUT 

[Captioner] 19:50:50
LISTENING, ABOUT BUILDING 

[Captioner] 19:50:51
BRIDGES, AND EMPOWERING OTHERS 

[Captioner] 19:50:52
TO BECOME AGENTS OF CHANGE.

[Captioner] 19:50:56
FREMONT IS EMBARKING ON A NEW 

[Captioner] 19:50:57
CHAPTER AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT 

[Captioner] 19:50:58
WHAT LIES AHEAD.

[Captioner] 19:51:01
OUR CITY HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED FOR 

[Captioner] 19:51:02
ONE OF THE MOST AWARD WINNING 

[Captioner] 19:51:03
CITIES IN THE NATION, INCLUDING 

[Captioner] 19:51:05
BEING THE HAPPIEST CITY FOR SIX 

[Captioner] 19:51:07
OUT OF EIGHT YEARS, AND AS 

[Captioner] 19:51:09
MENTIONED EARLIER, EVEN ON 

[Captioner] 19:51:10
"SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE," FOR BEING 

[Captioner] 19:51:12
ONE OF THE BEST CITIES TO RAISE 

[Captioner] 19:51:15
A FAMILY, AND WHEN I LOOK OUT, I 

[Captioner] 19:51:17
THINK ALL OF YOU ARE ALSO MY 

[Captioner] 19:51:17
FAMILY.

[Captioner] 19:51:18
AND THE SAFEST CITY.

[Captioner] 19:51:21
AND ALL OF THIS IS THANKS TO THE 

[Captioner] 19:51:22
INCREDIBLE SUPPORT AND 

[Captioner] 19:51:24
DEDICATION OF OUR STAFF, OUR 

[Captioner] 19:51:26
PUBLIC SAFETY WHO I LOOK AT AND 

[Captioner] 19:51:28
I'VE HAD THE CHANCE TO 

[Captioner] 19:51:28
PERSONALLY THANK A LITTLE BIT 

[Captioner] 19:51:31
OVER THE YEARS AND VISITING OUR 

[Captioner] 19:51:32
FIRE STATIONS, OUR POLICE 

[Captioner] 19:51:35
STATIONS, GOING ON RIDEALONGS, 

[Captioner] 19:51:37
HAVING CERT TRAINING, 

[Captioner] 19:51:38
VOLUNTEERS, SHOP WITH A COP AND 

[Captioner] 19:51:40
OTHER AREAS SO WE CAN HELP.

[Captioner] 19:51:41
AND THEN FOR THE INCREDIBLE 

[Captioner] 19:51:43
SUPPORT AND DEDICATION OF THE 

[Captioner] 19:51:43
COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 19:51:47
ONE OF THE OTHER I WANT TO THANK 

[Captioner] 19:51:48
IS OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

[Captioner] 19:51:50
I KNOW SOMETIMES TRAFFIC CAN BE 

[Captioner] 19:51:51
A HEADACHE AND I KNOW GETTING 

[Captioner] 19:51:53
HERE TONIGHT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF 

[Captioner] 19:51:54
A CHALLENGE FOR MANY BUT I ALSO 

[Captioner] 19:51:55
WANTED TO RECOGNIZE HOW 

[Captioner] 19:51:55
IMPORTANT IT IS.

[Captioner] 19:51:57
THESE SMALL CHANGES THAT WE'VE 

[Captioner] 19:51:59
MADE AND SOMETIMES CAN 

[Captioner] 19:52:00
INCONVENIENCE PEOPLE FOR HAVING 

[Captioner] 19:52:02
TO WAIT AN EXTRA LIGHT OR HAVING 

[Captioner] 19:52:04
TO MAYBE NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE 

[Captioner] 19:52:06
THAT SLIP TURN, BUT THOSE MAKE A 

[Captioner] 19:52:06
BIG DIFFERENCE.

[Captioner] 19:52:08
WE WERE THE NATIONAL YOUTH 

[Captioner] 19:52:09
TRAFFIC SAFETY WINNER, AND THAT 

[Captioner] 19:52:11
MEANS THAT WE REDUCED MAJOR 

[Captioner] 19:52:13
TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES 

[Captioner] 19:52:14
FOR OUR YOUTH BY 90%.

[Captioner] 19:52:19
SO HAVING SERVED ON SCHOOL BOARD 

[Captioner] 19:52:20
AND HAVING GONE TO THESE 

[Captioner] 19:52:21
DISCUSSIONS OVER THE YEARS, 

[Captioner] 19:52:23
THERE WAS NO PRICE THAT I CAN 

[Captioner] 19:52:25
PAY ON THAT WHEN I'M TALKING TO 

[Captioner] 19:52:26
A FAMILY MEMBER WHO HAS EITHER 

[Captioner] 19:52:27
LOST A CHILD OR IS IN THE 

[Captioner] 19:52:27
HOSPITAL.

[Captioner] 19:52:29
SO I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, I 

[Captioner] 19:52:31
HOPE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND, THESE 

[Captioner] 19:52:31
ARE SO IMPORTANT.

[Captioner] 19:52:34
I EXTEND MY DEEPEST HEARTFELT 

[Captioner] 19:52:35
THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO 

[Captioner] 19:52:38
SERVE ALONGSIDE MY FELLOW CITY 

[Captioner] 19:52:40
COUNCILMEMBERS, NEIGHBORING 

[Captioner] 19:52:40
ELECTED OFFICIALS AND STAFF.

[Captioner] 19:52:42
I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE PATIENCE 

[Captioner] 19:52:43
AND CARE OF OUR COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 19:52:44
MEMBERS AND VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE 

[Captioner] 19:52:45
MADE SO MUCH POSSIBLE.

[Captioner] 19:52:47
IT'S A HUGE DEBT OF GRATITUDE 

[Captioner] 19:52:50
THAT I'VE TAKEN ON AS THE ROLE 

[Captioner] 19:52:53
OF A PUBLIC SERVANT THAT I'M 

[Captioner] 19:52:54
HUMBLED YOU'VE ALLOWED ME TO 

[Captioner] 19:52:57
SHARE MY LOVE FOR OUR CITY.

[Captioner] 19:52:58
TO REALIZE MY VISION AND SUCCESS 

[Captioner] 19:53:02
TO LIVE THE CORE VALUES, I 

[Captioner] 19:53:04
THINK, FOR OUR COMMUNITY, I ALSO 

[Captioner] 19:53:06
WANT TO THANK MY CHILDREN, WHO 

[Captioner] 19:53:08
WHEN I FIRST STARTED FOR THOSE 

[Captioner] 19:53:12
WHO DON'T KNOW, I HAVE TWO MIFs

[Captioner] 19:53:13
 MADE IN FREMONT AND THAT'S 28 

[Captioner] 19:53:15
AND JUST TURNED 24 THIS 

[Captioner] 19:53:15
WEEKEND.

[Captioner] 19:53:16
I STILL REMEMBER LOOKING IN THE 

[Captioner] 19:53:17
BACK OF THE ROOM AND THE MANY 

[Captioner] 19:53:19
YEARS THAT I'VE COME HERE AND 

[Captioner] 19:53:21
HOW WHEN MY SON WAS LITTLE, HE 

[Captioner] 19:53:23
USED SO SAY DON'T GO, MOMMY, YOU 

[Captioner] 19:53:24
CAN'T READ ME BEDTIME STORIES.

[Captioner] 19:53:26
I DON'T THINK HE WANTS ME TO 

[Captioner] 19:53:27
READ HIM BEDTIME STORIES 

[Captioner] 19:53:29
ANYMORE, BUT THOSE TYPES OF 

[Captioner] 19:53:29
SACRIFICES WE ALL MAKE, WHETHER 

[Captioner] 19:53:30
IT'S ON THE COUNCIL AS 

[Captioner] 19:53:32
COLLEAGUES OR STAFF AND TEAM.

[Captioner] 19:53:34
THAT'S WHAT MAKES OUR CITY 

[Captioner] 19:53:36
STRONG AND RESILIENT.

[Captioner] 19:53:40
I DIDN'T SEEK PUBLIC OFFICE AND 

[Captioner] 19:53:41
START THIS JOURNEY FOR ACCOLADES 

[Captioner] 19:53:42
OR PERSONAL GAIN.

[Captioner] 19:53:45
I JUST WANTED TO BE A CATALYST 

[Captioner] 19:53:47
FOR POSITIVE CHANGE, AND I HOPE 

[Captioner] 19:53:49
WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING 

[Captioner] 19:53:51
THAT I'VE SUCCEEDED IN THAT 

[Captioner] 19:53:51
MISSION.

[Captioner] 19:53:53
I MENTIONED THIS AT MY STATE OF 

[Captioner] 19:53:55
THE CITY ADDRESS, THAT I'M 

[Captioner] 19:53:56
FILLED WITH HOPE FOR THE 

[Captioner] 19:53:56
COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 19:54:00
WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I -- I'M 

[Captioner] 19:54:03
KIND OF A NERD, I'VE READ EVERY 

[Captioner] 19:54:05
BIOGRAPHY THAT EXISTED IN MY 

[Captioner] 19:54:06
LIBRARY AT THAT TIME IN MY 

[Captioner] 19:54:07
CHILDHOOD BECAUSE I WANTED TO 

[Captioner] 19:54:08
KNOW WHAT MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR 

[Captioner] 19:54:10
PEOPLE AND HOW CAN WE MAKE A 

[Captioner] 19:54:11
DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES, 

[Captioner] 19:54:12
AND I'M REALLY HOPING THAT OVER 

[Captioner] 19:54:13
THE YEARS, WHETHER YOU'RE 

[Captioner] 19:54:15
SERVING ON THE COUNCIL, ON OUR 

[Captioner] 19:54:16
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS OR JUST 

[Captioner] 19:54:18
VOLUNTEERING BECAUSE YOU CARE, 

[Captioner] 19:54:21
IT'S WONDERFUL TO GET INVOLVED 

[Captioner] 19:54:22
AND TRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

[Captioner] 19:54:23
SO TOGETHER WE WILL CONTINUE TO 

[Captioner] 19:54:26
BUILD A THRIVING, VIBRANT 

[Captioner] 19:54:27
COMMUNITY THAT WE CAN ALL TAKE 

[Captioner] 19:54:29
PRIDE IN.

[Captioner] 19:54:30
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY 

[Captioner] 19:54:33
HEART FOR YOUR TRUST, FOR YOUR 

[Captioner] 19:54:35

[Captioner] 19:54:36
IN OUR SHARED VISION.

[Captioner] 19:54:39
LET US CONTINUE TO MAKE A 

[Captioner] 19:54:40
DIFFERENCE, AND SOMETIMES IT 

[Captioner] 19:54:42
JUST TAKES ONE SMALL ACT AT A 

[Captioner] 19:54:42
TIME.

[Captioner] 19:54:43
SO THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME.

IS ONE OF THE HARDEST JOBS, 

[Captioner] 19:57:09
ESPECIALLY IN THESE COUNCILMAN 

[Captioner] 19:57:13
 COUNCIL MANAGER FORMS OF 

[Captioner] 19:57:13
GOVERNMENT.

[Captioner] 19:57:16
YOU'RE 1 OUT OF 7 BUT YOU GET 

[Captioner] 19:57:16
BLAMED FOR EVERYTHING.

[Captioner] 19:57:24
AND SHE HAS BEEN RELENTLESS AS 

[Captioner] 19:57:29
FAR AS ESPECIALLY ATTENDING 

[Captioner] 19:57:31
EVENTS, WHICH IS SOMETHING, I 

[Captioner] 19:57:33
KNOW SHE ATTENDED 11 EVENTS IN 

[Captioner] 19:57:33
ONE DAY.

[Captioner] 19:57:34
I DON'T THINK I CAN KEEP UP WITH 

[Captioner] 19:57:36
THAT MANY EVENTS, BUT I KNOW 

[Captioner] 19:57:37
SHE'S VERY COMMITTED TO THE 

[Captioner] 19:57:37
CAUSE.

[Captioner] 19:57:41
SHE GOVERNED DURING A VERY 

[Captioner] 19:57:43
DIFFICULT TIME, ESPECIALLY SINCE 

[Captioner] 19:57:45
WE HAD COVID, AND THAT WAS 

[Captioner] 19:57:46
SOMETHING UNPRECEDENTED.

[Captioner] 19:57:49
MANY CITIES INCLUDING CITY OF 

[Captioner] 19:57:51
FREMONT WERE SCRAMBLING WHAT TO 

[Captioner] 19:57:52
DO AND FORTUNATELY CITY OF 

[Captioner] 19:57:53
FREMONT DID VERY WELL, SO SHE 

[Captioner] 19:57:54
DID LEAD US DURING THAT TIME.

[Captioner] 19:57:57
WE ALSO HAD SOME ISSUES RELATED 

[Captioner] 19:58:01
TO THE UNHOUSED POPULATION, AND 

[Captioner] 19:58:03
WE HAD THE HNC THAT WAS VERY 

[Captioner] 19:58:05
CONTENTIOUS AND WE WERE ABLE TO 

[Captioner] 19:58:07
GET THAT THROUGH THE FINISH 

[Captioner] 19:58:07
LINE.

[Captioner] 19:58:08
OF COURSE WE HAVE MANY 

[Captioner] 19:58:10
CHALLENGES THAT SHE'S PRESIDED 

[Captioner] 19:58:14
OVER, INCLUDING AFFORDABLE 

[Captioner] 19:58:16
HOUSING, SO MANY CHALLENGES, AND 

[Captioner] 19:58:19
WE CONTINUE TO WORK AWAY AT 

[Captioner] 19:58:19
THOSE AND SHE HAS MADE HUGE 

[Captioner] 19:58:20
PROGRESS IN ALL OF THOSE.

[Captioner] 19:58:22
AND SO I'M SURE SHE WILL 

[Captioner] 19:58:26
CONTINUE TO BE INVOLVED, AND 

[Captioner] 19:58:27
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH 

[Captioner] 19:58:27
YOU.

[Captioner] 19:58:29
I'M SURE I'LL BE LOOKING TO YOUR 

[Captioner] 19:58:31
GUIDANCE, I'VE GOT BIG SHOES TO 

[Captioner] 19:58:33
FILL, ALONG WITH OTHER FORMER 

[Captioner] 19:58:33
COUNCILMEMBERS AND MAYOR.

[Captioner] 19:58:35
I SEE MAYOR BILL HARRISON IN THE 

[Captioner] 19:58:35
AUDIENCE AS WELL.

[Captioner] 19:58:38
SO I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEKING 

[Captioner] 19:58:39
YOUR WISDOM AND KEEPING YOU 

[Captioner] 19:58:40
INVOLVED AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL 

[Captioner] 19:58:41
CONTINUE TO SERVE US IN WHATEVER 

[Captioner] 19:58:42
CAPACITY THAT YOU CAN, SO THANK 

[Captioner] 19:58:43
YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR SERVICE.

[Captioner] 19:58:46
I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO 

[Captioner] 19:58:47
WORKING WITH YOU, VERY PROUD OF 

[Captioner] 19:58:48
THE GOOD WORK YOU'VE DONE, AND 

[Captioner] 19:58:49
APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT 

[Captioner] 19:58:50
YOU'VE DONE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 19:58:50
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 19:58:55
>> Vice Mayor Campbell: 

[Captioner] 19:58:55
COUNCILMEMBER COX.

[Captioner] 19:58:58
>> Councilmember Cox: THANK YOU 

[Captioner] 19:58:59
SO MUCH.

[Captioner] 19:59:02
MAYOR MEI, I JUST WANT TO SAY 

[Captioner] 19:59:04
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 

[Captioner] 19:59:06
DISTINGUISHED CAREER OF 16 YEARS 

[Captioner] 19:59:07
OF SERVING THE CITY OF FREMONT.

[Captioner] 19:59:09
AND ADDITIONALLY, WE ALL MET 

[Captioner] 19:59:10
ORIGINALLY WHEN YOU SERVED ON 

[Captioner] 19:59:12
THE FREMONT SCHOOL BOARD AND I 

[Captioner] 19:59:15
WAS ON THE OHLONE COLLEGE BOARD, 

[Captioner] 19:59:17
AND I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, AND 

[Captioner] 19:59:20
I KNOW THAT YOU'VE DONE YOUR 

[Captioner] 19:59:22
PART IN SERVING THE COMMUNITY TO 

[Captioner] 19:59:24
YOUR BEST OF YOUR ABILITIES, 

[Captioner] 19:59:25
EVEN DURING THE CHALLENGING 

[Captioner] 19:59:26
TIMES AND THE GOOD TIMES.

[Captioner] 19:59:28
AND SO I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST 

[Captioner] 19:59:30
IN YOUR NEXT ENDEAVORS.

[Captioner] 19:59:34
>> Vice Mayor Campbell: THANK 

[Captioner] 19:59:34
YOU.

[Captioner] 19:59:36
COUNCILMEMBER SHAO?

[Captioner] 19:59:38
>> Councilmember Shao: THANK 

[Captioner] 19:59:38
YOU, VICE MAYOR.

[Captioner] 19:59:42
THE TRUE LEGACY IS TO FOSTER 

[Captioner] 19:59:45
SUCH AN ENVIRONMENT THAT THE 

[Captioner] 19:59:49
PEOPLE WHO COME LATER ON COULD 

[Captioner] 19:59:51
FOLLOW THE LEADERSHIP AND 

[Captioner] 19:59:53
EXAMPLE, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, 

[Captioner] 19:59:57
THE HUMILITY AND HARD WORK 

[Captioner] 19:59:59
EXPERIENCE AND TEAM SPIRIT TO 

[Captioner] 20:00:03
CONTINUE THE VISION THAT THIS 

[Captioner] 20:00:05
PERSON SETS SO THAT EITHER A 

[Captioner] 20:00:08
CITY OR AN ORGANIZATION CAN KEEP 

[Captioner] 20:00:10
ON GOING AND MAKE MORE SUCCESS.

[Captioner] 20:00:14
SO MAYOR MEI IS SUCH A PERSON 

[Captioner] 20:00:18
THAT IN MY HEART IS ALWAYS A 

[Captioner] 20:00:21
GOOD EXAMPLE FOR ME IN MY 

[Captioner] 20:00:23
SERVICE OF COMMUNITY.

[Captioner] 20:00:27
WHAT I ADMIRE HER THE MOST IS

[Captioner] 20:00:31
 SHE NEVER TIRED HER CHRISTIAN 

[Captioner] 20:00:32
FAITH IN HER SERVICE.

[Captioner] 20:00:35
MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW, MAYOR MEI 

[Captioner] 20:00:39
SPENT SO MUCH TIME PRAYING WITH 

[Captioner] 20:00:42
ME ON MANY ISSUES IN CRITICAL 

[Captioner] 20:00:42
MOMENTS.

[Captioner] 20:00:45
FOR EXAMPLE, DURING THE 

[Captioner] 20:00:45
PANDEMIC.

[Captioner] 20:00:46
WHETHER OR NOT FREMONT WOULD 

[Captioner] 20:00:49
BECOME THE FIRST CITY TO HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:00:54
THE COVER, THE

[Captioner] 20:00:57
 FACE CITY IN THE WHOLE ALAMEDA 

[Captioner] 20:01:00
COUNTY OR DURING THE SOCIAL 

[Captioner] 20:01:03
UNREST IN JUNE OF 2020, WE WOULD 

[Captioner] 20:01:07
BE THE FIRST CITY TO HAVE THE 

[Captioner] 20:01:07
CURFEW.

[Captioner] 20:01:09
AT THOSE MOMENTS, MAYOR MEI 

[Captioner] 20:01:11
WOULD ALWAYS INVITE ME TO PRAY 

[Captioner] 20:01:14
WITH HER, AND GAIN STRENGTH FROM 

[Captioner] 20:01:15
THE PRAYER.

[Captioner] 20:01:19
AND GET THE DIVINE WISDOM AND 

[Captioner] 20:01:19
STRENGTH.

[Captioner] 20:01:23
FOR THAT, I'M GREATLY

[Captioner] 20:01:26
 GRATEFUL FOR HER EXAMPLE, 

[Captioner] 20:01:29
BECAUSE AS WE KNOW, PUBLIC 

[Captioner] 20:01:33
SERVANTS CANNOT JUST TRY TO DO 

[Captioner] 20:01:37
EVERYTHING OUT OF OUR OWN MIND,

[Captioner] 20:01:41
 EMOTION, AND FLESHLY STRENGTH.

[Captioner] 20:01:43
WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER, 

[Captioner] 20:01:44
SOMETIMES WORK TOGETHER WITH 

[Captioner] 20:01:44
GOD.

[Captioner] 20:01:48
AND THAT'S WHY IN THE PAST, 

[Captioner] 20:01:51
FREMONT MAKES SUCH A GOOD 

[Captioner] 20:01:53
EXAMPLE FOR THE REST OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:01:54
COUNTRY.

[Captioner] 20:01:57
ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WHOLE 

[Captioner] 20:02:00
COUNTRY WAS CRYING OUT, 

[Captioner] 20:02:03
DEFUNDING THE POLICE, THE 

[Captioner] 20:02:05
FREMONT INSTEAD INCREASED OUR 

[Captioner] 20:02:06
BUDGET FOR OUR POLICE 

[Captioner] 20:02:06
DEPARTMENT.

[Captioner] 20:02:10
THAT REMINDS ME THAT THAT WAS 

[Captioner] 20:02:12
DONE WHEN MAYOR MEI REFUSED TO 

[Captioner] 20:02:15
TAKE A KNEE IN FRONT OF THE MOBS 

[Captioner] 20:02:17
WHO WERE CRYING OUT FOR 

[Captioner] 20:02:20
DEFUNDING THE POLICE, AND EVEN 

[Captioner] 20:02:23
WHEN THE MOBS COMING FROM OUT OF 

[Captioner] 20:02:26
THE CITY CAME TO HER RESIDENCE 

[Captioner] 20:02:27
AND PROTESTED NIGHT AFTER 

[Captioner] 20:02:27
NIGHT.

[Captioner] 20:02:33
AND STILL, HER LEADERSHIP LED 

[Captioner] 20:02:38
THE WHOLE CITY COUNCIL TO STILL 

[Captioner] 20:02:39
STOOD OUR GROUND AND DECIDED NOT 

[Captioner] 20:02:41
ONLY TO NOT DEFUND THE POLICE 

[Captioner] 20:02:44
BUT ALSO INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR 

[Captioner] 20:02:44
OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT.

[Captioner] 20:02:50
SO HER LEADERSHIP

[Captioner] 20:02:54
 ACTUALLY IS, IN MY HEART,

[Captioner] 20:02:56
 EXEMPLIFIED AND AMPLIFIED IN 

[Captioner] 20:02:57
THOSE CRITICAL MOMENTS.

[Captioner] 20:03:02
AND SO FOR YEARS, I'VE BEEN 

[Captioner] 20:03:06
TRYING TO LEARN FROM HER SO THAT 

[Captioner] 20:03:09
I CAN BE A HUMBLE AND 

[Captioner] 20:03:09
HARD-WORKING PUBLIC SERVANT.

[Captioner] 20:03:14
WHEN I WAS A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER 

[Captioner] 20:03:17
WHEN I GOT ELECTED, 

[Captioner] 20:03:18
SUPERINTENDENT DR. MORRIS JUST 

[Captioner] 20:03:21
WARNED ME, LIKE, WATCH OUT, LILY 

[Captioner] 20:03:25
MEI USED TO BE EVERYWHERE, IN 

[Captioner] 20:03:25
EVERY EVENT.

[Captioner] 20:03:27
MAKE SURE YOU CAN DO THAT.

[Captioner] 20:03:31
AND THEN PROBABLY YOU DON'T KNOW 

[Captioner] 20:03:34
DURING THE PANDEMIC, SHE 

[Captioner] 20:03:38
ACTUALLY STAYS IN HER

[Captioner] 20:03:40
 OFFICE DAYS AFTER DAYS.

[Captioner] 20:03:43
SO TO ME, EVEN THOUGH THE MAYOR 

[Captioner] 20:03:46
IS SUPPOSED TO BE A PART-TIME 

[Captioner] 20:03:48
JOB, SHE IS TREATING IT AS A 

[Captioner] 20:03:52
FULL TIME JOB, AND SOME MORE.

[Captioner] 20:03:54
THAT'S WHY FREMONT HAS ALWAYS 

[Captioner] 20:03:57
BEEN KNOWN ON THE RADAR OF THE 

[Captioner] 20:03:59
NATIONAL POLITICS, AND THAT'S 

[Captioner] 20:04:02
WHY FREMONT HAS WON SO MANY 

[Captioner] 20:04:02
AWARDS.

[Captioner] 20:04:06
FOR THAT, I THINK NOT ONLY I'M

[Captioner] 20:04:08
 DEEPLY INDEBTED TO HER.

[Captioner] 20:04:13
I THINK FREMONT ALSO NEEDS TO

[Captioner] 20:04:14
 RECOGNIZE REMEMBER HARD WORK.

[Captioner] 20:04:21
SO AS TIME COMES, EVEN THOUGH

[Captioner] 20:04:24
 IT'S SAD TO SEE HER GO, BUT I'M 

[Captioner] 20:04:27
CONFIDENT THAT SHE HAS SET A 

[Captioner] 20:04:32
GOOD EXAMPLE FOR UPCOMING MAYOR 

[Captioner] 20:04:34
AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS SO AS A 

[Captioner] 20:04:38
TEAM, WE CAN STILL CONTINUE HER

[Captioner] 20:04:40
 LEGACY AND KEEP FREMONT IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:04:44
RIGHT DIRECTION TO MAKE MORE 

[Captioner] 20:04:45
SUCCESS AND MAKE FREMONT THE 

[Captioner] 20:04:46
HAPPIEST CITY EVEN IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:04:46
WORLD.

[Captioner] 20:04:50
SO THANK YOU, MAYOR MEI.

[Captioner] 20:04:54
I BELIEVE THAT SOMEWHERE IN

[Captioner] 20:04:58
 THE FUTURE, WE'LL STILL WORK 

[Captioner] 20:04:59
TOGETHER, BUT BECAUSE WE SHARE 

[Captioner] 20:05:01
THE SAME VISION AND SAME 

[Captioner] 20:05:05
MISSION, WHICH IS JUST TO SERVE 

[Captioner] 20:05:07
PEOPLE IN THE CITY AND ALSO IN 

[Captioner] 20:05:08
THE THIS COUNTRY.

[Captioner] 20:05:08
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[Captioner] 20:05:14
>> Vice Mayor Campbell: THANK 

[Captioner] 20:05:14
YOU.

[Captioner] 20:05:16
I'LL JUST SAY BRIEFLY A FEW 

[Captioner] 20:05:16
COMMENTS.

[Captioner] 20:05:20
I KNOW MAYOR MEI AND I SERVED 

[Captioner] 20:05:22
INITIALLY ON THE FREMONT UNIFIED 

[Captioner] 20:05:23
SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF 

[Captioner] 20:05:23
EDUCATION.

[Captioner] 20:05:25
I SERVED WITH HER FOR SEVERAL 

[Captioner] 20:05:25
YEARS.

[Captioner] 20:05:29
I FOUND HER TO BE

[Captioner] 20:05:31
 VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE WORK 

[Captioner] 20:05:32
THAT SHE DOES.

[Captioner] 20:05:38
I FELT I LEARNED A LOT FROM HER, 

[Captioner] 20:05:42
AS A CITY COUNCILMEMBER, MY 

[Captioner] 20:05:43
SECOND YEAR ON THE CITY COUNCIL 

[Captioner] 20:05:44
FROM NOW, I'VE LEARNED A GREAT 

[Captioner] 20:05:46
DEAL FROM HER NOT JUST LOCALLY 

[Captioner] 20:05:47
BUT NATIONALLY AND 

[Captioner] 20:05:47
INTERNATIONALLY.

[Captioner] 20:05:49
SHE'S VERY SMART.

[Captioner] 20:05:52
SHE KNOWS A LOT, HAVING BEEN 

[Captioner] 20:05:56
AROUND FOR A VERY LONG TIME,

[Captioner] 20:05:58
 BUT I'M JUST PROUD TO BE ABLE 

[Captioner] 20:06:00
TO CALL HER NOT ONLY A COLLEAGUE 

[Captioner] 20:06:01
BUT A FRIEND.

[Captioner] 20:06:03
WE HAVE HAD COUNTLESS HEART TO 

[Captioner] 20:06:07
HEART CONVERSATIONS, AND SHARED 

[Captioner] 20:06:09
SO MANY MOMENTS TOGETHER THAT 

[Captioner] 20:06:11
BOTH STRENGTHENED HER AND 

[Captioner] 20:06:14
STRENGTHENED ME AND STRENGTHENED 

[Captioner] 20:06:14
OUR FRIENDSHIP.

[Captioner] 20:06:16
SO MAYOR MEI, I WISH YOU THE 

[Captioner] 20:06:18
BEST, AND IT'S NOT GOODBYE BUT 

[Captioner] 20:06:19
IT'S SEE YOU TOMORROW, I'M 

[Captioner] 20:06:19
SURE.

[Captioner] 20:06:20
OKAY?

[Captioner] 20:06:20
THANK YOU.

[Captioner] 20:06:24

BECAUSE THE CHALLENGES WE FACE 

[Captioner] 20:44:29
DO NOT ASK US WHO WE VOTED FOR.

[Captioner] 20:44:33
A POTHOLE DOESN'T CARE IF YOU 

[Captioner] 20:44:34
ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT OR 

[Captioner] 20:44:35
WHAT RACE YOU ARE.

[Captioner] 20:44:37
BECAUSE THE CHALLENGES WE FACE 

[Captioner] 20:44:38
DO NOT ASK US OF THAT.

[Captioner] 20:44:40
AND THEY DEMAND THAT WE COME 

[Captioner] 20:44:43

[Captioner] 20:44:50
JOURNEY THAT HAS BROUGHT ME TO 

[Captioner] 20:44:51
THIS MOMENT.

[Captioner] 20:44:53
IT IS A JOURNEY THAT BEGAN RIGHT 

[Captioner] 20:44:54
HERE IN THE CITY OF FREMONT, IN 

[Captioner] 20:44:57
A SMALL ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT 

[Captioner] 20:44:59
WHERE MY FAMILY WORKED  

[Captioner] 20:45:00
TIRELESSLY TO BUILD A BETTER 

[Captioner] 20:45:01
LIFE.

[Captioner] 20:45:03
IT IS A JOURNEY THAT TOOK ME 

[Captioner] 20:45:06
FROM WALKING TO VALLEJO MILL 

[Captioner] 20:45:07
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO STANDING OR 

[Captioner] 20:45:10
SITTING ACTUALLY IN THIS CASE 

[Captioner] 20:45:12
BEFORE YOU AS YOUR NEW MAYOR.

[Captioner] 20:45:14
A TESTAMENT TO THE BOUNDLESS 

[Captioner] 20:45:15
OPPORTUNITIES THAT FREMONT 

[Captioner] 20:45:20
OFFERS TO ALL WHO CALL IT HOM

[Captioner] 20:45:21
 HOME.

[Captioner] 20:45:23
TODAY IS ALSO DEEPLY PERSONAL.

[Captioner] 20:45:25
YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT MY 

[Captioner] 20:45:26
FATHER SWORE ME IN.

[Captioner] 20:45:29
IT WAS IMPORTANT TO HAVE HIM AT 

[Captioner] 20:45:31
MY SIDE BECAUSE MOTELS LIKE THIS 

[Captioner] 20:45:33
IT REMINDS US OF OUR FOUNDATION 

[Captioner] 20:45:36
OF WHERE I CAME FROM, MY ROOTS.

[Captioner] 20:45:38
MY FATHER TAUGHT ME THE VALUE OF 

[Captioner] 20:45:41
HARD WORK, HUMILITY, AND THE  

[Captioner] 20:45:43
UNWAVERING BELIEF THAT ONE 

[Captioner] 20:45:45
GENERATION SACRIFICES PAVE THE 

[Captioner] 20:45:47
WAY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.

[Captioner] 20:45:50
HE'S A LIVING REMINDER OF HOW 

[Captioner] 20:45:52
FREMONT GAVE OUR FAMILY A  

[Captioner] 20:45:52
CHANCE.

[Captioner] 20:45:54
A CHANCE TO WORK HARD, RAISE A 

[Captioner] 20:45:57
FAMILY, AND BUILD A BRIGHTER 

[Captioner] 20:45:59
 FUTURE.

[Captioner] 20:46:02
HAVING ME -- HAVING HIM SWEAR ME 

[Captioner] 20:46:04
IN IS A TRIBUTE TO THE JOURNEY 

[Captioner] 20:46:06
WE'VE SHARED AND THE 

[Captioner] 20:46:07
OPPORTUNITIES THE CITY HAS MADE 

[Captioner] 20:46:09
POSSIBLE FOR US AND MANY OTHERS 

[Captioner] 20:46:11
LIKE US MANY WHO ARE IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:46:11
AUDIENCE.

[Captioner] 20:46:13
I ALSO HAVE MY SON HERE WHO IS 

[Captioner] 20:46:14
IN THE AUDIENCE.

[Captioner] 20:46:19
OUR LATEST DOCTOR, DR. SHIV

[Captioner] 20:46:20
 WHO REPRESENTATIVE THE FUTURE 

[Captioner] 20:46:22
OF THE CITY AND WHO WE ALL ARE 

[Captioner] 20:46:23
HERE TO SERVE THE FUTURE AND 

[Captioner] 20:46:25
THOUGH REPRESENT THE HOPES AND 

[Captioner] 20:46:28
ASPIRATIONS FOR MANY OF US.

[Captioner] 20:46:31
AS WE WORK TO IMPROVE AND UPLIFT 

[Captioner] 20:46:32
FREMONT SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO 

[Captioner] 20:46:34
LIVE HERE AND HAVE ENTERTAINMENT 

[Captioner] 20:46:36
AND BE ABLE TO SUCCEED IN THE 

[Captioner] 20:46:37
CITY OF FREMONT.

[Captioner] 20:46:40
TODAY WE FACE MANY CHALLENGES.

[Captioner] 20:46:44
BUT OUR

[Captioner] 20:46:46
 HEART IS FULL AND OUR EYES ARE 

[Captioner] 20:46:46
CLEAR.

[Captioner] 20:46:48
WE ARE GOING TO GET BACK TO THE 

[Captioner] 20:46:50
BASICS OF GOOD GOVERNANCE.

[Captioner] 20:46:52
OUR STREETS MUST BE SAFE.

[Captioner] 20:46:54
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS MUST BE 

[Captioner] 20:46:54
CLEAN.

[Captioner] 20:46:56
OUR INFRASTRUCTURE MUST BE 

[Captioner] 20:46:57
STRONG.

[Captioner] 20:47:00
WE MUST TACKLE HOUSING 

[Captioner] 20:47:02
AFFORDABILITY, ADDRESS  

[Captioner] 20:47:03
HOMELESSNESS WITH COMPASSION AND 

[Captioner] 20:47:04
COMMON SENSE.

[Captioner] 20:47:07
AND WE MUST ENSURE THAT FREMONT 

[Captioner] 20:47:09
REMAINS A PLACE WHERE EVERY 

[Captioner] 20:47:10
PERSON NO MATTER WHERE THEY COME 

[Captioner] 20:47:12
FROM OR WHO THEY ARE HAVE A 

[Captioner] 20:47:14
CHANCE TO THRIVE.

[Captioner] 20:47:16
BUT LET US BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT 

[Captioner] 20:47:16
BROUGHT US HERE.

[Captioner] 20:47:18
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN.

[Captioner] 20:47:21
THEY HAVE SAID LOUD AN CLEAR 

[Captioner] 20:47:23
THEY WANT GOVERNMENT TO WORK.

[Captioner] 20:47:25
TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

[Captioner] 20:47:27
TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE POLITICAL 

[Captioner] 20:47:29
TOXICITY, THE CHARACTER ATTACKS 

[Captioner] 20:47:31
AND DISINFORMATION THAT HAVE 

[Captioner] 20:47:33
DIVIDED US FOR A LONG TIME.

[Captioner] 20:47:34
AND FREMONT DESERVES BOTHER AND 

[Captioner] 20:47:36
WE WILL DO BETTER.

[Captioner] 20:47:39
WE ALSO ARE REMINDED TODAY OF 

[Captioner] 20:47:41
THE ENDURING TRUTH THAT OUR 

[Captioner] 20:47:42
STRENGTH LIES IN OUR UNITY.

[Captioner] 20:47:45
FREMONT IS A CITY OF INCREDIBLE 

[Captioner] 20:47:46
DIVERSITY.

[Captioner] 20:47:48
CULTURES, LANGUAGES, AND 

[Captioner] 20:47:51
PERSPECTIVES.

[Captioner] 20:47:54
THAT WEAVE TOGETHER TO FORM THE 

[Captioner] 20:47:56
FABRIC OF WHO WE ARE.

[Captioner] 20:47:58
AND GOOD GOVERNANCE BEGINS WITH 

[Captioner] 20:47:59
COLLABORATION.

[Captioner] 20:48:01
FREMONT SUCCESS DEPENDS ON THE 

[Captioner] 20:48:03
PARTNERSHIP OF ITS RESIDENTS, 

[Captioner] 20:48:05
ITS BUSINESSES, ITS COMMUNITY 

[Captioner] 20:48:07

[Captioner] 20:48:14
STREETS, TO BUILD HOUSING THAT 

[Captioner] 20:48:17
FAMILIES CAN AFFORD, TO REDUCE 

[Captioner] 20:48:18
HOMELESSNESS AND CREATE 

[Captioner] 20:48:19
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL.

[Captioner] 20:48:21
WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE FREMONT 

[Captioner] 20:48:23
THE HAPPIEST CITY IN THE WORLD.

[Captioner] 20:48:25
A PLACE WHERE FAMILIES AND 

[Captioner] 20:48:27
INDIVIDUALS CAN LIVE, WORK AND 

[Captioner] 20:48:27
PLAY.

[Captioner] 20:48:30
AND WE WILL LEAVE A LEGACY FOR 

[Captioner] 20:48:31
FUTURE GENERATIONS, A CITY THAT 

[Captioner] 20:48:34
IS CLEANER, GREENER, AND  

[Captioner] 20:48:36
  BRIMMING WITH POSSIBILITY.

[Captioner] 20:48:38
LET US REMEMBER THAT THE ROAD 

[Captioner] 20:48:40
AHEAD WILL NOT BE EASY BUT THE 

[Captioner] 20:48:42
CHALLENGES WE FACE ARE NOT 

[Captioner] 20:48:44
GREATER THAN THE COURAGE AND 

[Captioner] 20:48:46
DETERMINATION OF THE PEOPLE OF 

[Captioner] 20:48:46
FREMONT.

[Captioner] 20:48:48
TOGETHER, WE WILL MEET THIS 

[Captioner] 20:48:49
MOMENT.

[Captioner] 20:48:52
NOT WITH FEAR, BUT WITH HOPE.

[Captioner] 20:48:55
UNITY.

[Captioner] 20:48:57
NOT WITH EXCUSES, BUT WITH 

[Captioner] 20:48:58
