Regardless, I Think It Should Be Re- negotiated To Include Additional Extra Hours Free Of Charge To Exclusively Pursue Creative Legal Frameworks Given Public AI Legal Tools To Roughly Sketch And The Uniquely Local Opportunities The City Can Provide (Regulatory Innovation, Adaptive Governance, Municipal Entrepreneurship, Legal Entrepreneurship, Home-Rule Experimentation, Regulatory Sandboxing, Collaborative Lawmaking, Strategic Preemption Navigation, Outcome-Based Regulation, Interjurisdictional Micro-Grants, Etc.). Is The Contract With The Firm, Not The Specific Attorney? If So, I Think The City Should Also Pursue These Creative Legal Frameworks With Access To The Entire Firm’s Staff. https://www.sealbeachca.gov/Portals/0/Documents/Human%20Resources/Labor%20Agreements/City %20Attorney%20Contract.pdf?ver=2020-06-12-080752-477 We don't know what's happening with forests: ESA Imaging Satellite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfqvsVgtThQ https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Space_for_our_climate/ESA_unveils_longest- ever_dataset_on_forest_biomass How Water Makes This Town Flood-Proof | WSJ Pro Perfected https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mv_IiESpyY What is Going on with California’s Water!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVaQiEkSkFY Could Puquios/Qanat be used in our modern water systems? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puquios

My Claims Are Fully Documented By Audio/Video Recordings, Public Eyewitnesses, And Written Correspondence. I Request A Written Response Immediately From The Date Of This Letter, As You Have Ignored All My Previous Email Requests For Response, In Denial Of THE SPIRIT. I. Constitutional Violations – Police Intimidation And Chilling Of Free Speech 1. Police Intimidation Violating My 1st Amendment Right By Chilling Free Speech At Public Assemblies Repeatedly Due To Viewpoint Discrimination Before/During My Public Comments Has Been Taking Place For Years: (A) Directing An Officer To Use A Police Dog To Specifically Target My Person/Belongings/Scent Without A Warrant Or Reasonable Suspicion Of A Crime Additionally Violating My 4th Amendment Right, (B) Directing An Officer To Move Behind The Sight Line Of The Camera To Sit In The Public Audience Exactly When I Gave My Public Comment, (C) Physically Moving Directly Next To My Person In The Public Audience Section Before My Public Comments At Two Separate December Meetings In Order To Add Extra Intimidation During The Pressure Of Much Greater Audience Attendance Than Usual, High Ranking Government Officials’ Attendance, And Holiday Performances, (D) Suggesting/Telling Me Not To Write My Name Down In Order To Be Called Upon To Give My Public Comment. 2. Such Targeted, Repeated Shows Of Force In Plain View Of Camera And Attendees Constitute Unlawful First Amendment Retaliation And Intimidation In Violation Of The United States And California Constitutions, Including The Tom Bane Civil Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 52.1). II. Brown Act Violations – Disruptive Responses Directly To My Public Comments 1. By Discussing My Public Comment On The Record Without First Placing It On A Publicly Noticed Agenda And Giving Me A Chance To Respond, The Lawyer Engaged In Unauthorized Discussion Of A Non-Agendized Item, A Clear Violation Of Gov. Code § 54954.2. The Disruption Denied The Validity Of My Public Comment Regarding My Church’s Sacramental Use Of The Flesh And Blood Of JESUS CHRIST (Sinfully Scientifically Named Psilocybin Mushrooms)—A Legally Protected Religious Practice—Thereby Engaging In Viewpoint Discrimination In Direct Contravention Of Gov. Code § 54954.3 By Misfeasance In Office (Misusing Lawful Authority), Misrepresentation By Omission (Fraudulent Concealment) Of Material Facts, And Acting Ultra Vires (Beyond Lawful Authority). 5 The Attorney Issued A Blanket Legal Statement Asserting That “Psilocybin Mushrooms”—Referred To By Their Non-Religious, Sinfully Scientific, Secular Name—“Are Illegal In California.” This Statement Was Delivered Without Addressing The Constitutional Protections Afforded To My Religious Practice, And Was Made In Direct Response To My Public Comment Of Religious Liberty Concerning The Flesh And Blood Of JESUS CHRIST. This Disruptive, Unlawful Response To My Public Comment Effectively Undermined The Legitimacy Of My Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs And Sacramental Use Of JESUS CHRIST's Flesh And Blood. It Promoted A Preference For Traditional Or Mainstream Interpretations Over Nontraditional Spiritual Practices. It Also Violated The Establishment Clause And Free Exercise Clause Of The First Amendment To The United States Constitution, Which Together Prohibit Government Hostility Toward Minority Religious Practices, Government Endorsement Of One Religious Interpretation Over Another, Interference With Religious Expression In A Public Forum, And The Chilling Of Protected Religious Speech. Furthermore, The Attorney Omitted Critical Legal Context, Implying That My Religious Practice Was Categorically Illegal Under State Law—When In Fact, The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) And The Gonzales V. O Centro Espírita Beneficente União Do Vegetal (UDV) Supreme Court Decision Provide A Clear And Recognized Pathway For Religious Exemption To Controlled Substance Laws. The UDV Case Affirmed That A Sincere Religious Use Of A Federally Controlled Substance May Not Be Prohibited Without The Government Meeting The Highest Level Of Legal Justification—Known As Strict Scrutiny. The Burden Is On The Government To Show A Compelling Interest And That It Has Chosen The Least Restrictive Means To Advance That Interest. By Failing To Disclose This Legal Framework, The Attorney Not Only Misled The Public, But Also Attempted To Dismiss My Constitutionally Protected Religious Rights Through Misrepresentation And Selective Omission (Fraudulent Concealment). This Public Statement, Issued By A Government Official In A Civic Forum, Not Only Dismissed The Spiritual Framework I Had Explicitly Articulated, But Also Attempted To Reframe My Protected Religious Exercise As A Criminal, Secular Matter—Thus Chilling My Religious Speech, Discrediting The Legitimacy Of My Sacrament, And Reinforcing State Entanglement With Religious Interpretation, Contrary To The Principle Of Government Neutrality In Religious Matters. 2. At The Council’s Request For Additional Information Concerning My Comment, Police Misrepresented The Legality Of Secular Psilocybin Mushrooms In California, Fraudulently Concealing Successful Decriminalization Mandates In The California Cities Of Oakland, Santa Cruz, Arcata, Berkeley, And San Francisco, Thereby Misleading The Council In Breach Of Gov. Code § 54954.2 And § 54954.3, And Committing Ultra Vires (Beyond Lawful Authority) Misfeasance In Office. III. Procedural Rule Making And Ultra Vires Acts Regarding The “Well” 1. The Boundary Of The “Well” Is Neither Defined In State Law Nor Codified In Local Ordinance To My Knowledge; It Is A Purely Procedural Matter For Council Action. Despite Repeated Requests For The Specific Municipal Code Section Authorizing Any Such Boundary, None Exists. 2. Police And Attorney Unilaterally Expanded The Logical And Symmetrical Boundaries Of The “Well” Beyond Any Council-Adopted Rule To Contract The Public Area Unlawfully—An Ultra Vires Act And Clear Misfeasance In Office. Wells Are Round, The Symmetrical City Clerk’s Desk Is Clearly A Public Area With Forms To Fill Out, And Logically There Is Clearly A Public Trashcan Outside The Police Desk That I Never Went Beyond. This Police And Attorney Action Amounts To Abuse Of Process, Misrepresentation Of Law, And Abuse Of Authority. IV. Defamation And Abuse Of Qualified Privilege 1. When I Sought To Speak In Order To Correct The Fraudulent Concealment In The Record (II.2.), I Peacefully Stood Outside The “Well” In A Public Area. After Being Told To Move Because I Was In The “Well”, I Did Not Move, So I Requested A Written Memorandum Of The “Well” Boundaries From The City Municipal Code. Instead, The Attorney Sent Me And Three Other Government Employees A Letter Maliciously Defaming My Character By Falsely Alleging I Was “Intimidating” “Police”, “Disrupting” The City Council Meeting, And Refusing A “Lawful Order”. Because I Was Peacefully 6 Standing In A Clearly Public Area Keeping My Body To Myself Gesturing And Whispering In Active Listening To The City Council Meeting (With No Action By Council To Remove Me Or Claim Disruption), Attempting To Follow The Public Participation Procedure Of An Agendized Discussion Pursuant To The Brown Act To Correct The Fraudulent Concealment In The Record (II.2.), And Refusing An Unlawful Order Not In The City Municipal Code Or Given By City Council, The Entire Attorney Letter Is Illogical Malicious Defamation Designed To Intimidate, Chilling My Free Speech. I Have Not Returned In Person To City Council Since I Do Not Trust The Hostile Environment Created Through Maliciously, Falsely Labeling Me A Person “Intimidating” “Police”. In Addition, As I Was Simultaneously Publicly Criticizing The New Enforcement Of The Daylighting Parking Law Without Painted Curbs, My Free Speech Is Clearly Protected By Gov. Code § 54954.3 (c): The Legislative Body Of A Local Agency Shall Not Prohibit Public Criticism Of The Policies, Procedures, Programs, Or Services Of The Agency, Or Of The Acts Or Omissions Of The Legislative Body. 2. This Written Accusation—Sent To Me And Three Government Employees—Constitutes Libel Per Se, An Abuse Of Qualified Privilege, Intimidation Chilling My Free Speech, Creating A Hostile Environment, And Actual Malice, Causing Harm To My Reputation And Giving Rise To A Defamatory Tort Action Seeking Injunctive Relief. V. Demand For Relief Accordingly, I Hereby Demand That The Seal Beach Government Immediately: 1. Investigate And Correct Any Unlawful Intimidation Tactics Used By Police And Attorney To Chill My Free Speech, Including Blocking My Email Messages To Government Officials And Staff In Late 2024, Cited On The Record Of A City Council Meeting. 2. Retract The Attorney’s Defamatory Allegations In Writing And Issue A Corrective Notice To All Recipients, Cited On The Record Of A City Council Meeting. 3. Provide The Specific Municipal Code Section Describing The “Well” Boundary Or Formally Adopt One Via Council Resolution, Cited On The Record Of A City Council Meeting. 4. Cease And Desist Further Illegal Brown Act Violations, Restore Viewpoint Neutrality Through Correction Of The Record To Include Previously Omitted Information, And Legally Agendize Public Discussion Of The (Sinfully Scientifically Named) Psilocybin Mushroom For Secular Local Decriminalization In Order To Equally Welcome And Respect Everyone’s First Amendment Rights. 5. Implement Training For All Government Officials And Staff Through Reading This Entire Letter, Cited On The Record Of A City Council Meeting. VI. If You Fail To Respond In Writing Immediately Or Refuse To Remedy These Violations, I Will Consider Pursuing All Available Administrative And Judicial Remedies, Including But Not Limited To: 1. Filing A Formal Brown Act Complaint With The County District Attorney And Attorney General. 2. Initiating A Civil Rights Action Under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 And The Tom Bane Civil Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 52.1) Up To $25,000. 3. Filing A Defamation Lawsuit For Libel Per Se Up To $25,000. 4. Seeking Injunctive Relief, Damages, And Attorney’s Fees. 5. Lastly, I Am Under No Obligation To Prove My Religious Exemption Through Any Man Made Legal Mechanisms Unless And Until I Deem The Matter Ripe. My Exercise Of Faith Exists Prior To And Beyond Civil Authorization, As Declared In The Declaration Of Independence, Protected By The United States Constitution, And Recognized By Legal Precedent. This Is Anchored In The Foundational Principle That Religious Liberty Is An Inalienable Right, Not A Privilege Bestowed Or Regulated At The Discretion Of Any Government.

There are many Korean fables regarding the 웃음버섯 (useum beoseot), or laughter mushroom. The famous Korean mycologist 조덕현Dr. Cho Duck-Hyun wrote an excellent paper on the legends of poisonous and magic mushrooms in Korea titled 독버섯의 비밀, or The Secret of Poison Mushrooms. It’s only available in Korean language, but I highly recommend reading it if you can get it translated. You can find it here: http://www.kacn.org/data/story/500403.pdf My favorite account in Dr. Cho’s paper is an ancient story in which nuns at a Korean Buddhist monastery go mushroom hunting in the mountains around the monastery. They combine all their mushrooms into a big pot of soup and become wildly intoxicated after consuming the soup. In contemporary times, magic mushrooms occasionally appear as plot devices in Korean television shows. For example, in one episode of the Korean drama 푸른거탑, or Blue Tower, an army platoon was stricken with uncontrollable laughter and hallucinations after consuming wild “laughter mushrooms.” You can watch the 2-part episode on YouTube: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6KcxYzWT8w Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PeaRDTCcKo 10 (Note: viewers outside Korea might need a VPN linked to Korea to watch the videos) The local Korean names of magic mushrooms often reveal the social attitudes towards these mushrooms from 미치광이버섯속 or “maniac mushroom” for the Gymnopilus genus and 환각버섯속 or “hallucinogen mushroom” for the Psilocybe genus, as well as “laughter mushroom” for some Gymnopilus and Panaeolus species. Despite the cultural significance of magic mushrooms in Korea, international mushroom literature demonstrate a limited knowledge of magic mushrooms native to Korea. Gastón Guzmán’s “A Worldwide Geographical Distribution of Neurotropic Fungi”, which is one of the biggest global reviews of magic mushrooms, only lists four magic mushrooms from Korea and the famous book “Psilocybian Mushrooms of the World” by Paul Stamets makes no mention of Korea. In neighboring Japan, on the other hand, Guzman mentions 28 potential magic mushrooms and Stamets cites 10. Such inconsistencies likely stem from a number of factors, including limited access to or familiarity with Korean sources, and a comparatively larger breadth of relevant Japanese sources. Nevertheless, Korean mycological sources do mention the existence of numerous, potentially magic mushrooms in Korea. In upcoming blogs, I will investigate and review 26 potentially magic mushrooms found in Korea. There is a lot of interesting and exciting information to be shared, and I hope to set the record straight! Are We Going To Have A Proclamation For Every Ethnicity And Religion?

I Request Public Acknowledgment Of A Previous Lie By Omission From Seal Beach Police Stating That Psilocybin Mushrooms Are Completely Illegal In California And A Correction Of The Record Stating The Whole Truth That The California Cities Of Oakland, Santa Cruz, Arcata, Berkeley, And San Francisco Have Successfully Mandated Personal Use And Possession Of Certain Psychedelics As The Lowest Law Enforcement Priority. 3. I Request Public Acknowledgment Of The City Attorney's Failure To Recognize At Best And Complicit Encouragement At Worst Of The Ongoing Seal Beach Police Intimidation Specifically Directed At Me, A ~27 Year Resident. 4. I Hereby Request A Public Acknowledgment From The City Attorney Regarding Prior Acts Of Omission And Potential Violations Of My First Amendment Rights. Specifically, These Violations Occurred Immediately After I Publicly Announced The Religious Nature 12 Of My Practice And The Founding Of My Church. Following This Declaration, The City Attorney Issued A Blanket Legal Statement Asserting That Psilocybin Mushrooms—Referred To By Their Non- Religious, Secular Name—Are “Illegal In California.” This Statement Was Delivered Without Addressing The Constitutional Protections Afforded To Religious Practice, And Was Made In Direct Response To My Religious Expression Invoking The Name Of JESUS CHRIST. This Action Effectively Undermined The Legitimacy Of My Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs And Sacramental Use Of JESUS CHRIST's Flesh And Blood. It Promoted A Preference For Traditional Or Mainstream Christian Interpretations Over Nontraditional Or Indigenous Spiritual Practices. It Also Violated The Establishment Clause And Free Exercise Clause Of The First Amendment To The United States Constitution, Which Together Prohibit Government Hostility Toward Minority Religious Practices, Government Endorsement Of One Religious Interpretation Over Another, Interference With Religious Expression In A Public Forum, And The Chilling Of Protected Religious Speech. Furthermore, The City Attorney Omitted Critical Legal Context, Implying That My Religious Practice Was Categorically Illegal Under State Law—When In Fact, The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) And The Gonzales V. O Centro Espírita Beneficente União Do Vegetal (UDV) Supreme Court Decision Provide A Clear And Recognized Pathway For Religious Exemption To Controlled Substance Laws. The UDV Case Affirmed That A Sincere Religious Use Of A Federally Controlled Substance May Not Be Prohibited Without The Government Meeting The Highest Level Of Legal 13 Justification—Known As Strict Scrutiny. The Burden Is On The Government To Show A Compelling Interest And That It Has Chosen The Least Restrictive Means To Advance That Interest. By Failing To Disclose This Legal Framework, The City Attorney Not Only Misled The Public, But Also Attempted To Dismiss My Constitutionally Protected Religious Rights Through Misrepresentation And Selective Omission. This Public Statement, Issued By A Government Official In A Civic Forum, Not Only Dismissed The Spiritual Framework I Had Explicitly Articulated, But Also Attempted To Reframe My Protected Religious Exercise As A Criminal Matter—Thus Chilling My Religious Speech, Discrediting The Legitimacy Of My Sacrament, And Reinforcing State Entanglement With Religious Interpretation, Contrary To The Principle Of Government Neutrality In Religious Matters. This Act Of Governmental Overreach Echoes The Historical Violation Of Indigenous Religious Freedom On This Land—An Ongoing Legacy Of Cultural Suppression And Spiritual Violation. Lastly, I Assert That I Am Under No Obligation To Prove My Religious Exemption Through Man-Made Legal Mechanisms Unless And Until I Deem The Matter Ripe. My Exercise Of Faith Exists Prior To And Beyond Civil Authorization, As Protected By The Constitution And Recognized By Precedent. This Is Anchored In The Foundational Principle That Religious Liberty Is An Inalienable Right, Not A Privilege Bestowed Or Regulated At The Discretion Of The State. 5. I Request Public Acknowledgment Of Two Separate Brown Act Violations. During (4), The City Attorney Gave A Public Response To My Public Comment Without Agendizing The Item To Give Me A Chance 14 To Respond With The Omitted Information. During (2), The City Mayor Gave A Public Response To My Public Comment In Which Police Were Asked About Psilocybin Mushrooms.

Why 3D Printing Buildings Leads to Problems (Modular Prefab Concrete For Non-Unique Building Parts + 3D Printed Concrete For Unique Building Parts Seems Like Sweet Spot) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhAwPFIUF _4 Comment: “I’ve worked closely with a leading concrete 3D printing company for several years now, so I hope my insight into the actual construction process provides some perspective. First, one clarification: There is no gravel aggregate in 3D printing concrete. It is only sand. You're right that the vertical integration is very strong in this industry, but there is already internal pressure to break that up. I expect in 10 years or so, you'll see more open-access tools available to architects and construction companies alike. I can't be too specific and honor my non-disclosure agreements, but there is recognition that the ability for architects to play with shape is very limited for now, which also limits the primary advantage of concrete 3D printing over other methods: complex shapes cost the same as simple ones. The primary 18 reasons IMO for the vertical integration is 1) that there has been a high learning curve for the industry and 2) the business case relies on minimizing labor costs and the strategies for dealing with that are still being prototyped. Normally trivial things like laying foundations, running plumbing, tying roof timbers into the frame, and lintels as you mentioned, are difficult for concrete 3D printed construction. It's only in the last year or so that acceptable, repeatable solutions have been identified for most of these and are finding their way into standard design practices. But even then, there are still maybe 5 or 10 years more of on-the-ground construction needed to establish best practice. It's not too different from the way building materials and building science radically changed in the 1980's, leading to a decade of extremely poorly built houses prone to water damage and short lifespans. It wasn't until maybe 20 years after that best practices for high-quality construction had been standardized. I would push back on the lack of repairability, though. This has always been an issue with concrete construction, and it's likely to become increasingly common for plaster or stucco finishes to be applied to internal walls, allowing for intrusive renovations to be reintegrated. Structural stability is not likely to be an issue since all walls have reinforcement every half meter anyway and often exceed building strength standards by an order of magnitude. Further, virtually all concrete 3D printing for now is slab-on-grade construction, which already has the same repairability issues you mention but is already widely adopted and has best practices for dealing with things like electrical and plumbing repair. I would also point out that the timber frame construction that we love so much is largely an anomaly unique to the U.S. where wood is abundant and cheap. Concrete 3D printed homes have the (so far unrealized) potential of being many decades or centuries more durable than frame buildings, which will change the design requirements that often contribute to design choices that later need renovations and repairs. 19 I would also push back on the criticism of how windows and doors are seated in the concrete homes. I don't doubt that many early concrete 3D printed homes were sealed with silicone only, but 1) the gap between windows and walls is already standard in frame construction and addressed with shims, spray foam, and trim and 2) the 3D printing companies have already started to adopt the same building techniques used by frame construction. Echoing much of what you said, IMO concrete 3D printing has a high potential for unique design that won't be unlocked until architects are given freer access to the tools and pre-fab construction is a necessary companion to this industry, but there is still a lot of building science that is being worked out. There are already some serious advantges, such as all walls having a native R40 insulation rating, but these will be tempered by the inherent limitations. I don't expect to see a rapid adoption of 3D printed construction for another 5 or 10 years and for the U.S. market share to cap around 20% and primarily remain in the residential and light commercial construction spaces. I also think that the current bare-wall aesthetic will fall out of favor out in that timeframe since it will prove difficult to clean. I also expect that environmental costs will remain high as long as cement production relies on fossil fuels and concrete aggregate relies on mined sand. I also expect that a future use case for heavy construction is using 3D printing to create forms for much thicker concrete constructions, particularly for foundations, buttresses, and pillars, such as you see in airport construction.” I Investigated Utah’s DEADLY Soda Addiction… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlNJc_OLb Yw https://playactivate.com/ Increased sedentary behavior is associated with neurodegeneration and worse cognition in older 20 adults over a 7-year period despite high levels of physical activity https://alz- journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.100 2/alz.70157 Parkinson's patients who take 'magic mushrooms' see key benefits, study finds https://www.foxnews.com/health/parkinsons- patients-who-take-magic-mushrooms-see-key- benefits-study-finds Trump surgeon general pick praised unproven psychedelic therapy, said mushrooms helped her find love https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/15/health/casey -means-psychedelic-therapy Military Land Is 4,336 Acres Or 60.7% Of Seal Beach...

Brown Act (Government Code § 54950 et seq.) during public meetings conducted by Seal Beach’s City Council. The fundamental purpose of the Brown Act is to ensure that the public has the 21 ability to meaningfully participate in local government proceedings, which includes the right to make public comments and receive fair treatment under open meeting laws. Specifically, I wish to address the following concerns: 1. Inability to Respond to False or Misleading Statements: * It has been observed that after I make public comments, members of the council and/or city staff respond to my remarks. However, I am not afforded the opportunity to address their responses within the same meeting, effectively silencing my ability to correct or clarify statements that may be false, misleading, or deceptive by omission. This directly undermines the principle of open and meaningful discourse as envisioned by the Brown Act.
 * The California Supreme Court has reinforced the importance of open and fair discussions in McKee v. Los Angeles Interagency Metropolitan Police Apprehension Crime Task Force (2005) 134 Cal.App.4th 354, where the court emphasized that restricting public input while allowing government officials to comment without challenge is inconsistent with the 22 transparency goals of the Brown Act.
 2. Prohibition on Addressing Staff: * The restrictions placed upon me and other members of the public from directing comments toward city staff—especially when they are the ones providing statements that require public scrutiny—appear to be an unreasonable and arbitrary limitation on public participation. Furthermore, this may give the staff a feeling of false sense of security protecting their statements from legal scrutiny. The Brown Act does not prohibit the public from addressing staff members during public comment, and such restrictions seem inconsistent with its purpose of transparency and accountability.
 * In Chaffee v. San Francisco Library Commission (2005) 134 Cal.App.4th 109, the court affirmed that public participation is a fundamental aspect of government meetings and should not be unduly restricted, emphasizing the need for fairness in addressing public concerns.
 3. Discussion of Public Comments Without Proper Agenda Notice: * Members of the council have engaged in discussions regarding my public comments without first properly agendizing 23 the topics I address. This practice violates the Brown Act’s requirement that discussions and deliberations on non- agendized items not take place, as it deprives the public of advance notice and the ability to participate fully in the discussion.
 * I am grateful that the city council is listening and willing to speak even momentarily in response to public concerns. However, even an extremely time-limited agendized discussion would add fairness and transparency to misleading statements by staff. By failing to agendize discussions about my comments, the council is creating an imbalance in the exchange of information, which the Brown Act seeks to prevent.
 * Additionally, in my public comments, I am using meta- communication to agendize the process by which we agendize. The term “agendize” itself is a completely made-up word that devalues public discourse and reflects a bureaucratic approach that obstructs meaningful public participation rather than facilitating it. This concern aligns with the ruling in White v. City of Norwalk (1990) 900 F.2d 1421, where the court emphasized that public meetings should foster meaningful 24 participation and that arbitrary restrictions on discourse can infringe upon First Amendment rights. 
 * The word "agendize" does not appear anywhere in the Brown Act (Government Code § 54950 et seq.). The law refers to "placing an item on the agenda" or "agenda requirements," but "agendize" is not an official legal term. It is a bureaucratic jargon word that has become commonly used in government settings but lacks formal recognition in the Brown Act itself.
 4. Process for Placing an Item on the Agenda: * The process for placing an item on a city council agenda varies by jurisdiction, but under the Brown Act, it does not require a unanimous decision by the council. Instead, different cities have different policies: * Individual Council Members: Some cities allow one or two council members to request an item be placed on a future agenda. The exact number required depends on the city’s local rules or policies. For example, in Los Angeles, a single council member can introduce a motion to be considered in a future meeting. Similarly, in San Diego, two council members are required 25 to place an item on the docket.
 * Majority Vote: In some cities, adding an item to a future agenda requires a majority vote of the council at a meeting. This process ensures that council members collectively decide whether an issue warrants further discussion. The City of Berkeley, for instance, follows this model, requiring a majority vote to place an item on the agenda.
 * Courts have upheld the importance of agenda-setting transparency. In Preven v. City of Los Angeles (2019) 32 Cal.App.5th 925, the court ruled that public participation in government decision- making is a core right under the Brown Act, reinforcing that the public and individual council members must be given fair opportunities to introduce topics for discussion.
 These practices create an unfair and unbalanced environment where public voices are effectively suppressed, while city officials retain unrestricted latitude to control discourse without public challenge. Such actions may constitute a violation of both the letter and spirit of the Brown Act. I respectfully request that the city review its meeting procedures and take immediate corrective actions, including: 26 * Allowing public speakers the opportunity to address responses made to their comments within the same meeting.
 * Eliminating any restrictions that prevent members of the public from addressing staff when their statements are at issue.
 * Ensuring that discussions related to public comments follow proper agenda procedures to comply with the Brown Act’s transparency requirements. * Switching to Individual Council Member placing of items on the agenda to emphasize the sanctity of every individual living in Seal Beach
 Failure to address these issues may necessitate further action, including but not limited to submitting a formal complaint to the appropriate oversight agencies and seeking legal remedies to ensure compliance with state law. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request a written response outlining the steps the city will take to address these concerns. Please respond within 30 days of receipt of this letter. P.S. Still Waiting On That Seal Beach City Legal Document Stating The Boundaries Marking The Well.
