It said the county deadline 63 00:03:51,460 --> 00:03:55,400 I said, this is the list we send anybody asking what arguments, county deadline for all 64 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,660 arguments in August 11th, we recommend submitting any written argument paperwork to the 65 00:03:59,660 --> 00:04:00,560 City Park's office. 66 00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:05,960 Prior to this deadline to ensure all requirements have been met again in the office, 345, 67 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:13,400 Tuesday, what they afternoon, the clerk was not in the deputy clerk contacted her upon discovering 68 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:21,440 the discrepancy between the City Council Resolution and the letter written to me by the 69 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:28,080 this depending on what the city court told. And after conferring, they didn't say to me, 70 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:33,060 you got an hour and a quarter buddy, hurry up, they said, we'll accept this tomorrow. 71 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,960 But I came back with it tomorrow. They said as soon as possible tomorrow, I came in with it after 72 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:44,040 lunch, the city court, and the city deputy court together, we'll start going through it. 73 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:51,180 They pointed to a couple of nits, if you will, that are not an issue here, and they were in 74 00:04:51,180 --> 00:04:57,820 process of accepting it, they gave me file stamped copies of what I submitted, and what 75 00:04:57,820 --> 00:05:04,380 having called Denise, they then got into the situation where, okay, Denise said he can't 76 00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:09,620 accept it. And at that point, they said, okay, we're going to have to figure this out. We will 77 00:05:09,620 --> 00:05:18,420 get back to you. Right? So, in the course of that, I should also mention that the court carefully 78 00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:24,800 examined, the argument submitted, out of the words, saw the formatting, said, no, didn't 79 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,380 raise any issues about the formatting. 80 00:05:26,820 --> 00:05:28,640 It was in the process of accepting the argument. 81 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:33,540 So I asked, well, please, while you're figuring this out, send it to the county, but they 82 00:05:33,540 --> 00:05:33,940 have it. 83 00:05:34,020 --> 00:05:35,300 It's the 11th. 84 00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:36,440 The county deadline is the 11th. 85 00:05:36,460 --> 00:05:37,700 They may just run with it. 86 00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:42,020 If the other side says, oh, they came on the 11th instead of the 10th, you know, maybe they 87 00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:42,840 can raise an issue. 88 00:05:42,980 --> 00:05:46,260 Then we get to all go to a judge, like, don't be raised by them. 89 00:05:46,260 --> 00:05:52,200 One of the public interests being the city's arguments on both sides to the voters, that's what 90 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:59,760 we're asking finally to be accomplished. To be told that the city that the county can't meet these 91 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,920 deadlines if the city asks it to. Probably they're actually have a hard deadline when they send 92 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,560 things off to the printer, whether it requires a judge or a lawyer or whether it requires a city council 93 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:19,560 resolution directing the court to ask them, we're simply in action by this council informally directing the court to ask them. 94 00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:23,500 You know, that, a pretty large earnings is very doable. 95 00:06:24,300 --> 00:06:26,380 They make progress the timeline if they need you. 96 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,120 But the public interest is see these things in the argument. 97 00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:37,820 So in the letter that was sent back to us, I also wish to point out that there's actually some things that are just not true. 98 00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:43,880 you know, to say the Mr. Wagner was fully aware of the August 10th deadline is simply not true. 99 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:51,140 To say that the argument did not comply with the city's formatting requirements of which Mr. Wagner was also aware. 100 00:06:51,780 --> 00:06:57,600 It was not true. The letter, the ignores that the city clerk wrote August 11th and no other date in the email address. 101 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:04,000 third branch of approval is a bit tomorrow on August 10th to person. Well, she was on the phone, 102 00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:10,360 the in person was with her deputy. But the two of them confirmed, I was told this. And then 103 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,400 tentatively accepted the formatting on August 11th. But for your information, I went and took the 104 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:22,120 timestamp copies here to county elections before 5 p.m. on Tuesday.
