Good afternoon, I'm Kevin Wilk, mayor of the city of Wall Street and welcome to the
Tuesday, February 17th, 2026 special meeting of the Wall Street City Council.
This special meeting is called for the purpose of interviewing Commission candidates.
Under California law, public comments at special meetings are limited to subjects on the agenda
only.
Therefore public comments will be received at this time related to interviews of Commission
candidates.
After an opportunity for public comment, the City Council will conduct the Commission interviews.
interviews will not be video recorded but can be viewed in person and I think
that's it so we're going to adjourn now and go to our interviews
