Diaz, City Attorney Subject: Serra Statue, Alternate Basis for Removing and Storage; Safety of the Statue Itself The City has received a letter from an attorney indicating he represents an unincorporated association of residents who do not support the retmoval of the Serra statue. The letter has many inaccuracies and does not understand the process the City used, i.e., the emergency ordinance adopted by the City Council, however, it does threaten legal action against the City if you vote to remove and store the statue. Without commenting publicly on the merit or lack of merit of these claims, I want to suggest that there is a separate and independent basis for its removal and storage at this time-security and safety of the statue itself.

    NAME The Midnight Gospel - Sunday Service for August 23, 2020.mp3 DATE September 1, 2020 DURATION 26m 26s START OF TRANSCRIPT [00:00:00] The following is a message from Wellspring's congregation. [00:00:06] Good morning, Wellspring's. It's good to see you today. I recognize I might look a little bit odd, so hold on one one one second. One second. [00:00:19] Let me let me fix this up. There we go. [00:00:26] Better, isn't it? You're probably more used to me this way. I'm more used to me this way. Thanks for indulging my goofiness. Today is for a purpose. It's that the show I'm going to talk about for today's Spiritfllix series, Spiritflix this summer series that we do on the stories that we watch on our screens and the meanings that we find in those stories. It's a weird show. It's a very weird show. And the kind of upside down that I presented with upside down, obviously being popularized by stranger things, stranger things does not have a thing on the show for today. The Midnight Gospel when it comes to the oddness and the weirdness department. And so before I get into talking about the Midnight Gospel, I wanted to share with you a story that kind of sets up what I'm going to talk about today. It goes back 13, maybe 14 years ago, right around the time actually within a year or two of when Wellspring's was launched in 2007.

Alongside your valuable insights and academic expertise, you were also supportive and understanding of a range of personal milestones which took place during the project. I would also like to extend my thanks to other members of the School of Music faculty who offered valuable insight during my research: Dr Kenneth Gloag; Dr Amanda Villepastour; and Prof. David Wyn Jones. My completion of this project would have been impossible without the support of my parents: Denise Arkell and John O’Connell. Without your understanding and backing it would have taken another five years to finish (and nobody wanted that). I would also like to thank my daughter Cecilia for her input during the final twelve months of the project. I look forward to making up for the periods of time we were apart while you allowed me to complete this work. Finally, I would like to thank my wife: Anne-Marie. You were with me every step of the way and remained understanding, supportive and caring throughout. We have been through a lot together during the time it took to complete this thesis, and I am looking forward to many years of looking back and laughing about it all. i Joseph O’Connell Contents Table of Contents Introduction 4 I.
