[1:12] » Hi. >> Next. Under business of the mayor, we

[1:16] have three library board appointments. Chris Hall is currently on the library

[1:20] board and agreed to do another term. And then we have two new library board

[1:26] members. Jessica Gansth will be replacing Cheryl Newagel and Angela

[1:30] Holer will be replacing Terry Schmidt. So Annette has kind of recommended those

[1:36] three to the library board. Any questions?

[1:47] » We'll call the RO. Pitman. Hi. Night. Hi. Otto. Hi. Lley. Hi. Noah. Hi.

[1:55] We want to especially thank Cheryl and Terry for their years of service on the

[1:58] board and congratulations to the new people.

[2:03] Next up we have resolution 8426 and this is approving amendment to the water use

[2:08] agreement between the city of Charles City and Bolero. Um Tyler, are you going

[2:14] to take >> Yeah, this is this is just a a six-month

[2:17] agreement. So, uh for just continuing the current rates with Bolero until we

[2:23] get um the back our uh the uh the rate study and decide on rates from there

[2:32] just intended to be a stop gap.

[2:37] » Questions on this? >> So, move to approve.

[2:41] » Second. >> Further comments? Are we still tracking

[2:46] for August >> as of now? Yes.

[2:49] » Would that be its own? >> Yes.

[2:52] » Okay. So, it be like a special meeting or or wait

[2:56] planning session or a special >> Yeah. plan session

[3:03] and then the outcome of that would then go in fact at the beginning of the year.

[3:10] » Yeah. Yeah. I think it would be up up to council to decide. you don't really seem

[3:15] to have a um a set time when you typically do it. So could be on the

[3:22] council.

[3:27] Any other comments or questions?

[3:31] Call the role. >> Nie.

[3:33] » Hi. >> Otto.

[3:34] » Hi. >> Lley.

[3:35] » Hi. >> Noah. Hi. Fit.

[3:37] » Hi. >> All right. Next up then we have

[3:41] discussion on the facade improvement grab application for 413 North Main

[3:46] which is Luke James and Company had some alterations in that either were you

[3:52] going to lead this or who was going to take the lead on this? Uh Mark, do you

[3:57] want to I guess

[4:02] » basically we have there there was work found and that and a new

[4:09] application was filed. >> I can jump in if Okay. So to start when

[4:16] I when I applied for it, they had the new signs Mason City come over and all

[4:21] that we thought that we needed was the letters, the the frame itself, the

[4:25] construction from Quake Construction, everything looked solid. It wasn't until

[4:29] we had those strong winds come through and one night we were leaving real late

[4:34] and I he was parked on the other side and I was looking at him and I looked up

[4:37] and I said, "Uh, come here." you know, and we noticed that it was it had to be

[4:42] those winds that took it away from the wall. And then so we called Steve Qu the

[4:46] or Steve Hubert the next morning and he came over and inspected it and found it

[4:51] was dry rotted and like ready to fall. He was worried it was going to happen

[4:55] right then, you know. Um, Leoo signs he would have had no reason.

[5:01] He did all of his measurements from the ground. all he thought he was doing was

[5:06] putting metal letters on the on the building. Wasn't until we determined

[5:11] this was a a must, a safety hazard that we had to address it. And

[5:18] um from my understanding, I I understand that there's some concerns about

[5:24] setting a precedent of amending the grant at this point. And I guess, you

[5:29] know, just from a a personal perspective, I I'm thinking that maybe

[5:32] that's something that should be amen allow amended in a situation like this.

[5:38] You know, common people like us that don't have a ton of money to to handle

[5:43] these things when they come up. You know, we need all we can can get in the

[5:47] beginning to help us have a solid financial start.

[5:51] I guess that's where I'm at. Just to clarify, so the council did approve a

[5:55] slot approved grant for New James Company for 13 North Main uh for $4,553.

[6:02] That was half the project cost. That's what you applied for. That was to do the

[6:07] signage. Then you approved an amendment to that grant that took out the Berkile

[6:12] part and allowed for mini split to be put in which had to be put in

[6:15] requirement for food purposes. So that was approved. And so this request now

[6:20] after the workshop is what we're requesting is you consider

[6:24] increasing the amount 4553 to 10 the full 10,000. Um whether we

[6:31] amend the current grant or tear that one up. So money has been paid

[6:36] yet on that one and then approve one for 10,000 instead. 4553

[6:44] again. normally with that grant has to be approved before you project can begin

[6:50] to start reimbursing for that. Um that's what we'll read about as far as setting

[6:55] precedent. In this case, there was a safety concern as well as the contractor

[7:00] was able to do it right then and there. If not, it was going to be three

[7:03] projects later where it could come back and do work.

[7:06] » Yeah. >> And she was scheduled July.

[7:11] » And and it was one of those things. I mean, I had to do it either way. It was

[7:14] a safety concern. So I couldn't really wait for, you know, this workshop. So

[7:21] » Mark, you said we we have the option to amend the previously amended agreement

[7:27] or to create a whole new one. Based on the discussion last time, they thought

[7:31] it would be better if we just voided the first grant and went with a new one,

[7:37] which we did submit >> for 10,000 because the project cost is

[7:42] well over 20,000. And she can apply for up to half that amount capp to 10,000.

[7:48] » Cost is the same either way, whether you do new or it's 10,000,

[7:52] » right? Same same. You're either you're either adding to the 4553 to make it

[7:57] 10,000 or we're just looking up 4553 agreement and doing a new one for 10

[8:02] bucks because we have not uh given her a check yet for the first grant. Was

[8:08] waiting for funds to be available July 1st.

[8:15] » Other comments discussion >> my comments are remaining same as last

[8:21] time. I'm I'm supportive of this. I would like to see a new document

[8:27] prepared presented to the council.

[8:32] Um yes, the we're very stringent and I think we should be sending a clear

[8:38] message to your board that um if the work is started then the cost is

[8:45] on the owner. This was had some unique circumstances to it. For me though um at

[8:52] a time where we have a lot of economic uncertainty,

[8:57] we have u a couple here that is investing

[9:03] not only themselves but they're investing into the community. I I

[9:07] personally like to see this go forward and the full 10,000

[9:13] that I think especially our work. Is this the normal process I would like to

[9:20] do? No. >> And we do make sure when we talk to them

[9:24] about the criteria for the grant that it is a reimbursement that has to be

[9:28] approved normally before that work qualifies. Said this is a

[9:33] special circumstance to consider. >> Yeah, Mark definitely had that

[9:38] conversation with me. >> That was I perfectly understood that. I

[9:43] just asked him to come back to y'all because of the circumstances.

[9:52] I agree with Patrick. I think it's something we should buy in favor of.

[9:58] It's unusual circumstances. Maybe we're fortunate the wind came and we noticed

[10:02] it and it was taken care of before heavy letters were put up there again and when

[10:07] it did fall. Um,

[10:12] as long as we're everybody's well aware that we typically don't do that, but I

[10:17] think if it comes up again, we just got to look at each situation. I don't know.

[10:20] So, sign [clears throat] >> the way Britney drafted that resolution

[10:25] and we would be approving the new application that's in the packets

[10:29] tonight. So, I feel like that's a clean way to handle it. Thank you.

[10:32] » Yeah, I know. I was probably the most vocal opponent for this at that time.

[10:38] Um, since since I've thought about it

[10:41] longer, I'm on board with it. But what I think we need to do is maybe make some

[10:45] adjustments in our application process uh that that can bring in like emergency

[10:51] acts where we can amend it if it's an emergency act, you know, kind of protect

[10:57] protect us from that precedent that I was talking about before because I could

[11:01] see this happening uh down the line after word gets out. Oh, they did the

[11:06] work and then they let them bring it in and get a grant after the fact. Well,

[11:10] they not realizing this was an emergency situation. I think I'd like to have that

[11:16] language added into the application that and then I think that would probably

[11:20] protect us from the president. [clears throat]

[11:23] » I think that makes a lot of sense. And I mean, like Mark said, I haven't gotten

[11:28] any money yet at this point. So, if that's something y'all could come up

[11:31] with, I'd fill that out beforehand. >> Yeah. other council questions?

[11:36] » No, I mean I think this is this is a situation where there was some you know

[11:41] obviously some unforeseen circumstances and we've we've never come across

[11:46] anything like this. So I think I'm I'm not opposed to that suggestion just to

[11:50] have an emer like if it needs to be spelled out um something for

[11:56] emergencies. I I don't know if that gets us into

[12:00] muddy waters where somebody could say, "Well, I I think it's an emergency." And

[12:03] then we're still we still end up having to make a decision. Oh, it is or it

[12:06] isn't, >> but it will still make it a little bit

[12:08] more clear like this is definitely, you know,

[12:11] » yeah, >> a last minute emergency situation as

[12:13] opposed to somebody having it done for six months

[12:17] emergency. >> Yeah.

[12:20] » And council controls the criteria for the program. So, Chris, any other

[12:24] comments? >> Nope. I think it's great. All right.

[12:27] Thank you. I want to take minutes. Thank you. Opening business at Charles City.

[12:31] It's a big investment and we're we're behind you. So, I'm behind you.

[12:36] » Thank you. >> Absolutely.

[12:38] » This will end up like we just had a culture entertainment district grant

[12:41] meeting. This will effect if if approved, this will effectively use up

[12:45] all the funds already this fiscal year. So, we had three culture entertainment

[12:49] district grant >> projects reviewed and approved. So the

[12:53] 45,000 year mark for fiscal year 2627 will be down to $236.

[13:00] » But that's how many projects we got going on.

[13:02] » And your fiscal year is until October 1. >> It's your fiscal year from now.

[13:06] » It's our fiscal year. >> So six days in

[13:09] » more grants for a year. We're going to be having this discussion year.

[13:13] » Yeah. >> My only concern and I I'm very

[13:16] supportive of the project. But I wonder how many previous projects have found

[13:20] problems and decide, oh, I can't go back for more money and how many future

[13:24] projects are going to say, "Darn, I didn't know that was going to happen."

[13:28] » So, I think whether you guys think we're setting a precedent or not, I think we

[13:33] are. >> Even if we put it in the wording, I

[13:37] don't know if that's a good idea because like Phoebe, like you said, it's going

[13:41] to muddy the waters pretty >> turbulently, I think. So I I'm totally

[13:47] in support of your project, but I can see where this is could be a problem.

[13:51] And like I say, I feel bad if there were over the last six or seven years, if we

[13:55] got other projects, we said, "Darn, I could have used more money, but I can't

[13:59] get any more money >> with the cost of everything today. Most

[14:04] projects probably use the full 10,000." No,

[14:07] » she didn't originally. >> No, not originally, but doesn't take

[14:10] long to get up to that. I mean most of them do not take the

[14:16] 10,000 don't they majority >> I'd say probably 60% do

[14:24] » 60% pick the will ask for the full 10,000

[14:31] » yeah I guess we only they should have asked if they should

[14:35] have been bold or you know worst that y'all can say is no we can't do it but

[14:41] I'm going to ask So reason why I'm I'm I feel okay with

[14:46] this one. This happened in the process of putting the sign up. It's not you

[14:51] know these other things project was totally completed and signed

[14:55] off on this hasn't even been completed yet. Hadn't been completed yet at that

[14:59] point. So when you caught this emergency so something like that could be

[15:03] understand. >> Many other projects have had that same

[15:06] thing as to but they didn't come back. If they would

[15:10] have came back, maybe we would have had this discussion earlier, but we didn't.

[15:13] So,

[15:16] » so my other but so the other thing that again this is not pertain to this,

[15:21] » but if we're talking about 45,000 total for the two,

[15:25] that's four projects a year. We may want to think about that as we go into what

[15:30] we're going to prove for next year, too. >> Yeah, that's true.

[15:32] » Because that's not very many projects if they're all coming in for 10,000. That's

[15:36] not very many projects. So that's not the has nothing to do with tonight's

[15:40] discussion, but just going forward. >> Very few projects now are coming in

[15:44] under the $20,000 mark. >> Yeah. So what was the amount that we

[15:48] what was the amount we set aside for the the projects outside of of Main Street?

[15:53] Still >> we need to get on that

[15:59] mark. >> I've had three people ask the last two

[16:01] weeks where we are at. >> So that will be on an upcoming

[16:08] I mean it was so thought we had

[16:10] » I think we had 25 started low just not sure how that

[16:16] » which was seven we're talking about. >> Y

[16:21] » All right. Any other discussion or a motion?

[16:23] » Oh well I make a motion to approve the second

[16:26] » grant with changes. >> So you make a motion to approve the

[16:30] $10,000 grant proposal. >> Yes. Are are the updated grant

[16:34] application. That's the 10 C resolution 8526.

[16:39] » Okay, Patrick, you seconded that. >> Any further discussion?

[16:46] » Call the role. >> Otto.

[16:48] » Hi. >> Lley.

[16:49] » Hi. >> Noah.

[16:50] » Hi. >> Pitman.

[16:51] » Hi. >> Night.

[16:52] » Hi. >> Did you have a good first weekend?

[16:55] » We did. >> We did. It was we were open for three

[16:59] hours Thursday night and we think we counted 593 people in three hours in

[17:04] there and yeah when we got the financial start we needed so

[17:09] » very good >> and then this will help and I I just

[17:12] feel yeah I feel good >> very investing in Charles City.

[17:18] » Yeah. Thank you. >> Appreciate it.

[17:20] » Thank you. Yeah. Thanks for this and all of your help Tyler Britney Brad. Yeah. I

[17:26] It's It's been crazy to me to see the support for this project

[17:33] » and the community's reaction to it and it it's just awesome. I think it's going

[17:38] to be a good thing for our community. I really do.

[17:40] » Yeah. >> So, thank you for

[17:43] making an exception here >> and being reasonable and understanding

[17:47] and I really really appreciate it. >> All right. Thanks.

[17:51] » Thank you. >> Thanks.

[17:56] We have resolution 8626 and this is the transit agreement with

[18:04] city and north Iowa area council of governance for the transit system.

[18:09] Previously approved the agreement with circle K. This is approving the

[18:14] agreement with North Iowa. >> Yep. And uh it's two agreements. Nothing

[18:18] changes except um except for adding another bus on the county side, but it

[18:25] doesn't affect doesn't affect our our operations.

[18:34] » Questions on this one? >> You said it adds another bus.

[18:37] » They did. They're adding another bus on the county side. So, there be two. Yeah.

[18:42] Was that a driver?

[18:47] » The >> No, it sounded to me like they were

[18:50] using um they were splitting two of their part- timers up to do that. So,

[18:55] » okay. >> It sounded like everything was

[18:58] » Is this like the same route? Just two two of the same bus going up to along

[19:03] the same route >> that it typically goes per day. Who do

[19:08] we know? It it just incre It it just increases the um

[19:16] » I do I know this is probably because of the dialysis. So it's like one of them

[19:21] directly like one only goes directly there and the other goes that direct

[19:26] route >> on this but if it was from what I heard

[19:30] um they're going to get a diialysis route going to Mason City and then that

[19:34] driver is actually going to pick up some Mason City routes while he is waiting

[19:38] » waiting >> and so there'll be reimbursement from

[19:41] that way and then drive them back. >> Okay.

[19:44] » Okay. So the way >> about I know I just know they've had

[19:51] » driver issues before and I don't want to spread our drivers too thin that we're

[19:54] not enough drivers for our local >> but it's it's ri it's that's just

[19:59] » I'm just talking about the people >> actual driver

[20:03] » people in the driver's seat are we going to have enough of them?

[20:05] » Yeah >> we've had Yeah that's been a problem.

[20:08] » Yeah. >> We're adding another bus that means

[20:11] we're going to have another driver. It sounds like we're fully staffed and then

[20:15] some. >> And everyone is super willing. So that's

[20:21] » Yeah, I we have really uh great drivers on staff right now and so we want to,

[20:27] you know, keep them not over overwork them where they're like, oh,

[20:33] » I heard you said there was two part- timerrs, right, that are kind of split

[20:37] the hours. >> Yeah.

[20:39] » So this Did I hear this correctly? It's going to help some of those that are on

[20:43] dialysis. >> Yes, it will.

[20:45] » Yeah, that's very positive. >> Yes, absolutely.

[20:48] » Sure.

[20:52] » All right. >> So, we just need to

[20:56] » need a motion. >> I'd make a motion to approve.

[20:59] » Second agreement.

[21:03] » Any other comments? Honestly,

[21:09] » all rollley. >> Hi. Noah.

[21:11] » Hi, >> Pitman.

[21:12] » Hi, >> Nighton.

[21:13] » Hi, Otto. >> Hi.

[21:17] » All right. Next seven, we have resolution 8726

[21:20] and this is for vacation of certain streets, alleys, or grounds to send it

[21:25] to planning and zoning for their consideration and recommendation.

[21:30] So, this is just a a piece of that um of the property going to Hall that um that

[21:39] uh he's requested as no productive use for the city. It's um and it can only

[21:45] really be accessed by by the adjacent property owner. So,

[21:51] just so just needs to go to P&Z next and then

[21:55] it would come back or August

[22:02] We retain the easement. So I will move to approval.

[22:06] » Second that. >> Yeah, we're originally moving.

[22:15] » Any other discussion on this one? When will meeting?

[22:19] » They will meet on the first Wednesday of August. So then it'll come back to you

[22:23] after that.

[22:27] Further questions to call the role.

[22:31] » Noah i. Fitman. Hi. Nighton. Hi. Otto. Hi.

[22:34] » Lley. >> Hi.

[22:38] » All right. Then next we have a resolution 8826 approving the final plat

[22:43] survey for auditor's parcel B being part of all

[22:49] that other stuff. Why does it follow the numbers? Yeah. So, this is one that came

[22:54] to planning and zoning. Um, essentially it was just splitting uh parcels up on

[23:01] the land. Um, the house and the building splitting from tillable land. Um, so we

[23:08] just recommend approval of the minor subdivision based on its compliance with

[23:12] the city's unified development ordinance, subdivision regulations,

[23:17] and the recommendation of the planning and zoning commission. Okay.

[23:24] questions here. >> P&Z, look at this. There was really no

[23:29] feedback. There was unanimous unanimous approval for this.

[23:34] » Yep.

[23:40] Comments. I AMC has done done their work on it and

[23:46] recommended it. So I would move to approve resolution uh 8826.

[23:52] Second. >> Any other comments?

[23:59] » Call the role. >> I

[24:02] [clears throat] ly.

[24:06] » And then next we have resolution 8926. And this is to set a public hearing on a

[24:11] proposed ordinance amending the Charles City UDO to amend standards for approval

[24:16] of variances related to dimensional requirements.

[24:20] » Yes. So, this is the one we talked about um a little bit beforehand, just uh

[24:27] aligning our standards with what was passed in the state. Um setting a

[24:31] practical difficulty standard for area variances

[24:37] instead of the undue hardship which is what currently exists.

[24:47] » Any questions on this one? Have we encountered any of this since they made

[24:50] the the change at state level? >> Yeah. So, we did have one uh variance

[24:56] request that went to ZVA and we we applied the practical difficulties thing

[25:01] to it. >> Okay.

[25:03] » Well, we just didn't have it. >> Yeah. Just

[25:11] was also unanimous with this meeting last week.

[25:17] » Yep. I'd move to approve the resolution. >> Second.

[25:25] » Any other comments?

[25:29] » Call the role. >> I

[25:33] Noah. >> Hi.

[25:34] » Pitman. >> Hi.

[25:37] » Right. Then we'll consider a motion to enter into close session.

[25:40] » Should we do other business? >> Do I should have moved that? Do you

[25:45] want? >> We probably should. Yeah. That's

[25:47] probably a good idea. Yeah. Let's move down to number 11.

[25:51] [clears throat] Anybody receive any miscellaneous

[25:53] correspondence? Brad, anything for you to report?

[25:59] Britney, anything for you tonight? >> Um, just that we have some Monday

[26:03] meetings some more coming up. July 13th um is our next it's a planning session,

[26:09] but it's on a Monday. Um, so and then we have Monday, July 20th as our regular

[26:16] meeting. And then Wednesday, July 29th will be

[26:22] our last cleaning session of July. All at 6:00, but yeah, it's three

[26:29] Mondays in a row and then a Wednesday. So,

[26:36] and we'll just split the room um for next Monday. So we'll have just a small

[26:42] project going just but other than that I don't have anything

[26:49] but I don't rent anything for a report.

[26:52] » Um well we have Bracket Street is now complete. Uh so that'll be a um they

[26:59] have a pay request coming in for the next meeting and then uh Iowa Lane

[27:04] begins tomorrow with uh the removal and flatter main reroute on Wednesday.

[27:14] » We'll take a look at that over the weekend and we've done some serious

[27:19] grading. >> A lot of grading.

[27:22] » Yeah. When will that be essentially shut off to the public? That was widely used

[27:28] during the 4th of July. >> Well, we had shut we had shut off part

[27:34] um part of the access to it. Um >> but it's open today.

[27:40] » Yeah. >> So question is when are we going to

[27:42] close it for? >> I think once the street once lane gets

[27:49] finished. Yeah. >> So can they do the lane? where they do

[27:53] granular. Aren't those signals tied together all this?

[27:57] » No, they're going to they're going to do lane and they're g because because the

[28:02] issues with grand they they just they were going to do lane now

[28:07] » so they can take down those signals on lane without affecting the signals on

[28:10] Grand. >> Yes.

[28:13] I guess I'm assuming I'm supposed to roll down at that point. I'm just hoping

[28:18] the ones on grand still work because they're taking on the on if I recall

[28:23] correctly, they said those would still work correctly. They they just said they

[28:27] wouldn't be able to tie in with the ones if they would put new ones at lane. They

[28:31] wouldn't tie in with those because there wasn't enough distance, but there won't

[28:35] be anything at lane if from my understand

[28:40] the operation of the ambulance. >> Yeah. Yeah.

[28:43] » Because I did throw the railroad under the bus this morning.

[28:47] And I said something about, well, the grand one isn't going to happen until

[28:51] October because the railroad did not over did not

[28:55] » didn't get the pieces in >> order the parts even though we talked

[28:58] about this last October. >> I said sounds like I'm throwing the

[29:01] railroad under the bus >> because I am.

[29:06] » Yeah. >> Which I think they need to people need

[29:08] to know this is a railroad problem, not ours. Iberly agreed

[29:15] to have a >> because now we got military school being

[29:17] in effect. >> It's a you know they really and it's

[29:20] their and it's their project. They started the whole project and they were

[29:24] not at the pre-construction meeting either.

[29:26] » Oh. >> So anyway, just thought I'd throw a

[29:31] little sideline in there. >> Uh yeah. And then uh introduce Katie

[29:36] Herd. She's our new communications director. That's great.

[29:41] » Welcome. Welcome aboard. >> And she used Tyler's office last week,

[29:46] but darn Tyler came back. So now she has to have an office till we move over

[29:50] here. So >> yeah,

[29:52] » but we she will stop in and see us periodically.

[29:55] » All right. >> Yeah. Welcome Katie.

[30:00] » Anything else, Tyler? >> That's it.

[30:02] Just to piggy back off of your uh off the bracket street, I did go over and

[30:08] talk to Chuck Connect about that. Apparently they use sand down in the

[30:13] bottom of it and he said they packed it in good, but it was still kind of

[30:18] nervous. So what's the recourse or something if that were to collapse or

[30:21] sink? >> Well, there's um there's the uh um

[30:29] whatever the uh warranty is. Oh, that's okay. Yeah, there is a warranty. Okay.

[30:33] Yeah. Yep.

[30:38] » Did Mark have anything much contact with that project? Mark Crawford?

[30:42] » Yeah. Yep. Mark manage that. >> Good. Yes.

[30:50] » Any board commissioner committee reports?

[30:54] » Just the uh planning zoning met last week and the output was reviewed today.

[31:00] Anybody else?

[31:03] » Was Mark alluded? We had that facade meeting which I filled in for Phoebe on

[31:07] that I believe because they needed so many people there. So,

[31:11] » thank you. >> And I went through all the money as you

[31:14] said earlier. So, which is good and bad.

[31:18] » It's good that we're have projects going. It's unfortunately we don't have

[31:21] money to keep projects going, but it's the way it is.

[31:26] » We, you know, there was a discussion at that meeting Should we? One of the

[31:31] projects was for $10,000 and part of the discussion was, well, should we only

[31:35] give that person $5,000 so we have some money to give to somebody else? And the

[31:41] discussion ended up being, why should we penalize somebody who has a project on

[31:45] the board just to save money for somebody else who we may or may not have

[31:49] a project. So, the group went ahead and approved the full 10,000 to that

[31:54] project. So,

[31:58] » and that will all be on your claims list on the 20th meeting. Mark sent all that

[32:02] to me. So,

[32:07] » all right. No further comments. Now we will consider a motion to enter into

[32:11] close session pursuant to Iowa code chapter 21.51

[32:17] I to conduct performance evaluations for city administrator, city clerk, and city

[32:22] attorney as requested in writing by each party as considered necessary to prevent

[32:27] needless and irreparable injury to reputation.

[32:32] » I'd make such motion. >> Second. Before we vote on that, um I do

[32:38] have written correspondence from the three of us requesting that it does need

[32:41] to be requested in writing. We are just going to have a single close session for

[32:47] all three evaluation and then when that's completed, we'll come out and

[32:50] take action on each separate >> resolution is impacted. So, whatever

[32:54] order we decide to go in, it's I guess up to council, but it'll just be a

[32:59] single post session. >> Sounds good. That's what we've done

[33:02] before. I think it's worked out pretty well. So,

[33:07] We have a motion. Second

[33:11] call to roll. >> Otto. Hi.

[33:14] » Lumley. Hi. Noah. Hi. Pitman. Hi. Right. Hi. [clears throat]

[33:18] » So, the way we've done this before is we do Brad's evaluation first and Britney

[33:23] will take notes.
