[1:43] Visitors and delegations. Um, we'll
[1:45] start with citizen comments. Citizens
[1:48] are invited to speak to council on any
[1:50] item that does not have a public hearing
[1:52] scheduled. There's a 5-minute time limit
[1:54] per person unless otherwise noted by the
[1:56] mayor. Please note that no formal action
[1:58] will be taken on any item that is not on
[2:00] the posted agenda due to the open
[2:02] meeting law provision. However, they may
[2:04] be placed on a future posted agenda if
[2:07] action is required. to better assist you
[2:09] with questions, please submit them in
[2:10] writing to the city clerk and someone
[2:12] with from staff will respond. Do we have
[2:14] anybody here that wants to um uh for
[2:18] citizen comments?
[2:20] >> Does anybody want to speak to council?
[2:22] >> I'm just curious.
[2:28] » Yes. Do you want if you want to address
[2:30] council
[2:35] » can I address that for just a moment?
[2:37] >> If there's anyone in the audience who is
[2:39] having trouble hearing um please let me
[2:41] know. We do have some hearing devices
[2:44] that we are happy to offer you. Would
[2:46] you like one?
[2:49] >> You have a hearing device. Do you want
[2:50] hearing device?
[2:52] >> Okay.
[2:55] >> And as far as the [laughter]
[2:58] If you have data center questions, you
[3:00] can tell us any comments that you want.
[3:03] If you want to address, we can't really
[3:05] speak. We if we we have a pending
[3:08] application, so we can't really talk
[3:10] respond to you, but if you want to
[3:14] >> So there is possation.
[3:17] Okay. I was just told that we could
[3:19] listen, but we can't respond.
[3:22] >> So, and our go ahead, Dan.
[3:26] >> Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, I was just going to
[3:27] say it's it's not out of lack of
[3:30] respect. Just the open meetings law um
[3:32] require us to not address from the dis
[3:35] uh things that aren't on the agenda. So
[3:37] feel free to uh address the council and
[3:40] we're happy to listen to you. Um I
[3:42] believe the mayor usually has a uh staff
[3:45] will get back to you uh within I forget
[3:48] which how many hours, but um we just
[3:51] can't respond from the dis tonight.
[3:53] >> Correct. Yes. Yeah. If you have concerns
[3:55] about anything, you're welcome to
[3:56] address us, but we can't. Um, so, okay.
[4:02] Does anybody else want to speak to
[4:04] council? Okay. So, we'll move on. Um, we
[4:07] have an executive session that we have
[4:09] to do before we come back and go into
[4:12] our work session. Um, so if you are
[4:16] wanting to listen to the work session or
[4:17] something, we have to do our executive
[4:19] session first.
[4:21] So, um, I would look for a motion to go
[4:26] into executive session.
[4:32] I move that we go into executive session
[4:34] pursuant to Colorado Revised Statute
[4:35] 246424E
[4:38] for determining positions relative to
[4:40] matters that may be subject to
[4:41] negotiations, developing strategy for
[4:43] negotiations, and instructing
[4:44] negotiators. The matter to be discussed
[4:47] is incentives for new business.
[4:51] Um,
[4:52] >> second.
[4:54] >> Any discussion? Roll call.
[4:57] >> Councelor Skezy.
[4:58] >> Yes.
[4:59] >> Councelor Quinnland.
[5:00] >> Yes.
[5:01] >> Councelor Horton.
[5:02] >> Yes.
[5:03] >> Councelor Tyne.
[5:04] >> Yes.
[5:04] >> Mayor Sherman.
[5:05] >> Yes.
[5:06] >> Would you mind explaining a little bit
[5:08] about the difference between the two
[5:09] meetings?
[5:10] >> Yes. So, for an executive session is
[5:13] where we talk about
[5:16] um
[5:19] I'm going to let the attorney describe
[5:21] explain the difference. [laughter]
[5:23] >> Go ahead, D.
[5:24] >> Sure. Thank you, mayor. Uh, so during
[5:26] executive session, it's we first of all,
[5:29] we conduct as much business as we
[5:31] possibly can out in the open so that
[5:33] everyone's aware so the public knows and
[5:35] has input. Uh but there's certain times
[5:38] that are spelled out in the Colorado
[5:40] Revised Statutes in 24442
[5:43] SE subsection
[5:45] 4 uh that say hey this is a matter that
[5:49] if it gets out um you know and it needs
[5:52] to be described or discussed in public
[5:54] in private. Um some of these items are
[5:58] you know if there's a personnel matter
[6:00] and you uh just want really a candy
[6:03] conversation. Another item is say the
[6:06] town or the city wants to buy a certain
[6:08] property. If they say, "Hey, here's our
[6:10] top dollar limit in open session,
[6:13] someone can go out there and under bid
[6:15] them." So, it's a matter that needs to
[6:16] be discussed in private. The statute is
[6:19] very limited. There's no decisions made,
[6:22] no action taken. Uh it's usually just to
[6:25] discuss and and get information and form
[6:27] opinions. Um and then any action that
[6:30] was is taken on what's discussed in
[6:34] executive session will be done in open
[6:36] session in front of everyone on the
[6:38] record. So um we invite you to stay.
[6:42] There will be no decisions made in this
[6:44] meeting and I I'm looking [laughter] at
[6:45] the agenda. I believe I heard the
[6:47] amendments correct. So the only thing
[6:50] that's going to follow is the work
[6:51] session. Um I think I covered the bases.
[6:55] If you guys have any questions, let me
[6:56] know.
[6:57] >> Yes. So um but the work session is
[7:01] public correct?
[7:02] >> Yeah. Yeah. So the work session is
[7:05] public but we our executive session like
[7:09] you said is stuff we discuss in private.
[7:11] So we will close the close the room for
[7:14] our executive session and then we'll
[7:16] open it back up when we're through and
[7:19] it shouldn't take too long. But yeah, so
[7:23] we'll close close the room for our
[7:26] executive session, but then we will open
[7:28] it up again and you can be here for the discussion items in the work session
[7:34] if that makes sense. So
[7:37] >> yeah,
[7:40] y
[7:42] thank you. Sorry about that.
[7:51] Yeah, we will talk about it and you're
[7:52] welcome to listen to your work session.
[7:56] >> You guys are going to put one in and
[7:58] >> have an executive session.
[8:05] » Thank you.
[8:26] I don't know if we're still recording.
[8:34] » I'm not saying
[8:40] [clears throat]
[8:43] anyway.
[51:20] I'll let you
[51:30] church.
[51:33] >> You're back. Okay.
[51:35] So, um to start, Dan Cobra has an
[51:39] announcement.
[51:42] >> Thank you, Mayor. Uh my name is Dan
[51:44] Crob. I'm the city attorney. I'll note
[51:46] for the record the time is 651. We've
[51:48] just exited an executive session. I was
[51:50] present throughout. The scope of the
[51:52] conversation was consistent with the
[51:54] scope of the statute. And as the city
[51:56] attorney, the attorney claim privilege
[51:58] attaches. Thank you, mayors.
[52:00] >> Thank you, Dan. And we don't have
[52:02] anything to vote on. So I will look for
[52:04] a motion to adjourn this meeting and
[52:06] move into our work session.
[52:08] >> I move to adjurnn.
[52:09] >> Second.
[52:11] >> Um any more discussion?
[52:14] >> Uh all in favor say I.
[52:16] >> I.
[52:17] >> Any opposed?
[52:18] >> All right. And we'll go into our work
[52:20] session.
[52:21] >> All right. Well, thank you everybody for
[52:23] sticking around. Those executive
[52:24] sessions are always a big unknown how
[52:26] long they're going to take. Sometimes
[52:27] it's five minutes, sometimes it's much
[52:29] longer. All right. All right. Well,
[52:30] let's talk about data center standards.
[52:36] So,
[52:37] thank you. that I'm passing out to
[52:39] council right
