[0:48] All righty. We're going to move into the
[0:50] consent calendar. We actually only have
[0:51] one item on that consent calendar and
[0:53] it's um the a planning commission
[0:56] appointment.
[1:01] Motion to approve consent calendar.
[1:03] >> Do we have any public comment on our

[1:09] » Right. Seeing none, do I have a second?
[1:11] >> Second.
[1:12] >> All right. Please pull the vote.

[1:18] >> yes.
[1:19] >> And Mayor Wright,
[1:20] >> yes.
[1:21] And um
[1:23] our applicant uh did Deborah, how'd you

[1:28] last name? Deborah Puri. Our our um
[1:32] appointment didn't she didn't have
[1:34] anything she wanted to add, but um this is Deborah Purious.
[1:39] >> Welcome aboard.
[1:40] >> New planning commission member.
[1:41] >> Thank you so much.
[1:43] >> All righty, that's easy enough. Now
[1:45] we'll move on to item number two and new
[1:47] business which is the 2026 city council
[1:50] regular meeting calendar.
[1:56] » Yes. Thank you mayor, members of the
[1:57] council. This is also a standard item
[1:59] for us that we take at the end of the
[2:01] year where we look towards the uh
[2:03] upcoming calendar year and then set our
[2:05] regular meeting schedule. And so uh this
[2:08] is uh there are certain things that have
[2:10] to be adopted only at a regular
[2:13] regularly scheduled council meeting. So
[2:15] this will be our calendar for uh for
[2:17] that. And then if we choose to cancel
[2:20] one of these regular scheduled meeting
[2:21] then we would also post the
[2:22] cancellation. It's pretty
[2:24] straightforward this year. There's just
[2:25] our standard holidays that fall on the
[2:27] third Mondays of January and February
[2:30] which would be Martin Luther King Jr.
[2:32] Day and President's Day. And then the uh
[2:34] other one I believe is Labor Day uh the
[2:37] first Monday in September. We're
[2:39] suggesting to to shift those meetings to
[2:41] the Tuesday.
[2:45] All righty.
[2:47] Do we have any public comment on our um
[2:51] regular meeting calendar for 2026?
[2:56] » All right. Seeing none, I'll bring it
[2:58] back to the council.
[3:03] And a motion to approve and adopt
[3:04] resolution number 2025-56
[3:07] rel resolution of the city council of
[3:09] the city of Crescent City adopting the
[3:12] 2026 city council regular meeting
[3:14] calendar.
[3:15] >> I'll second that.
[3:16] >> I have a motion and a second. Please
[3:18] pull the vote.
[3:19] >> Council member Alman,
[3:20] >> yes.
[3:20] >> Council member Go,
[3:22] >> yes.
[3:22] >> Mayor Prom Tinkler,
[3:23] >> yes.
[3:24] >> And Mayor Wright,
[3:25] >> yes. All righty. Item number three, city
[3:29] council vacancy interview
[3:31] slashappointment.
[3:37] All right. Thank you, Mayor Wright,
[3:38] members of the council. So, yes, this
[3:41] item is before you as our uh as the
[3:44] elected council member Darren Douly uh
[3:47] resigned from the council back on
[3:48] October 21st. So, at that time, the
[3:51] council directed uh city staff to go
[3:54] ahead and open the application window uh
[3:57] to make an appointment uh to fill that
[3:59] position for the remainder of
[4:02] well, not the remainder of his term, but
[4:03] for the remainder of his term up until
[4:05] the next regular scheduled election,
[4:07] which is November of 2026. So, that is
[4:10] really what's before you tonight. We had
[4:12] uh three applications going into
[4:14] tonight. However, Shauna Hayyatt has
[4:17] withdrawn her application and so
[4:19] there'll only be uh two uh two
[4:21] applicants to interview. We have Noya
[4:23] Reno and Steve Shamblin. Uh as far as
[4:26] the process goes, uh typically unless
[4:29] the council directs differently, the uh
[4:31] the city clerk would draw the names for
[4:34] who actually gets interviewed first. And
[4:37] so it's done randomly, then the council
[4:39] or the applicant that's not chosen would
[4:42] leave the room. uh the council has a set
[4:44] of questions. Each question will be
[4:46] asked to both applicants and then once
[4:48] the first uh applicant is done with
[4:51] their interview then we would go and get
[4:52] the second uh applicant to come in. At
[4:55] that point in time then there would be
[4:57] uh there could be public comment uh from
[5:00] the general the general public that is
[5:03] here council discussion and then the
[5:05] council would make an appointment by our
[5:07] standard motion second type of uh type
[5:10] of uh deliberation.
[5:15] questions.
[5:17] Any questions?
[5:20] None.
[5:21] >> Okay,
[5:21] >> I hear we have a high-tech way of
[5:23] picking who's going first.
[5:29] » Very high-tech
[5:33] and musical apparently.
[5:36] Okay, our first interviewee
[5:40] will be Miss Noa Reno. So, if I could
[5:42] have Mr. Shamblin join me and I'll take
[5:44] you back to the close session.
[6:01] All righty. Uh, Miss Reena, you want to
[6:04] come on up to the
[6:06] podium?
[6:11] All righty. Um, I'm just going to read
[6:13] through these questions.
[6:15] There you go.
[6:19] All good. Um, please tell us about
[6:21] yourself, your qualifications, and why
[6:22] you desire to serve on the council.
[6:25] >> Well, I have lived in our community for
[6:27] a long period of time. When I was
[6:29] younger, I chose to move here with my
[6:31] mom. She told me I could move anywhere I
[6:33] wanted, and I chose here because I
[6:35] thought it was a beautiful, unique
[6:36] place.
[6:37] So, I have raised my kids here. I have
[6:40] married my husband here. We have served
[6:42] on the fire department for many years
[6:46] together.
[6:47] And I just love our community. And I
[6:49] want to be able to do more to move it
[6:53] forward.
[7:01] » All right. If appointed, uh, what would
[7:03] you like to accomplish between now and
[7:05] November 2026?
[7:08] the continued movement of the third
[7:10] street project. I see great movement
[7:14] with that and to continue that and to
[7:18] continue like supporting the housing,
[7:22] try to come up with some more long-term
[7:25] solutions for our homeless situation in
[7:28] our community and maybe some more
[7:30] programs for the overdoses that we have
[7:33] locally.
[7:42] and council, by all means, uh, if you
[7:44] have any follow-up questions, Dr. One,
[7:46] hop right in. Okay. Um, all righty. Um,
[7:49] number three, uh, how do you describe
[7:51] your leadership and communication style,
[7:54] and how will it benefit the council in
[7:56] resolving any contentious issues?
[8:01] I'm a pretty straightforward
[8:04] person. I have a very mellow
[8:07] personality. So, and being a first
[8:10] responder and in the emergency services
[8:12] and I also work in the medical field,
[8:14] I'm able to deal with
[8:19] situations in a pretty easygoing,
[8:25] able to get things accomplished without
[8:28] causing
[8:30] to increase elevated moods and try to
[8:34] decrease the situation if it becomes
[8:38] hot-tempered.
[8:44] » Uh what do you believe is to be the
[8:46] greatest strength of our city and what
[8:48] are the most pressing concerns?
[8:51] >> The greatest strength of our city is our
[8:53] community. It is a great community and
[8:56] if somebody needs help, our community is
[8:58] willing to help any way that they're
[9:00] able to. I've seen it firsthand, be it
[9:04] from a child to an adult, that their
[9:06] house just had an incident that they all
[9:10] come together to help. And the greatest
[9:13] weakness in our community is the
[9:16] homeless situation and the drug problems
[9:19] that we do have locally. that those need
[9:21] to be addressed a little more.
[9:26] » One of the most important items the
[9:28] council is tasked with is the approval
[9:30] of the city's annual budget. This needs
[9:33] uh the the needs of our community often
[9:36] outweigh the city's revenue. How would
[9:38] you go about prioritizing city's
[9:40] multiple competing needs?
[9:44] to do research on what is going to
[9:46] benefit the citizens the most in our
[9:49] community.
[9:50] It has has to be a balance.
[9:58] In 2020, the citizens of Crescent City
[10:01] passed measure S, a 1 cent sales tax to
[10:03] support essential city services.
[10:05] Additionally, in 2022, city voters
[10:08] overwhelm overwhelmingly voted down an
[10:11] initiative to repeal measure S. If you
[10:13] were appointed to the city council, how
[10:15] would you ensure these funds were
[10:16] allocate allocated to best support the
[10:19] needs of the community?
[10:21] >> I would um review the budget that's
[10:25] submitted before us between each of the
[10:27] departments that qualify under Measure S
[10:29] and I would um review the Measure S
[10:32] committee and their recommendations
[10:35] to see what is going to benefit the
[10:38] community as a whole.
[10:44] All righty. What is your vision for
[10:46] economic development in the city and
[10:48] what do you see as the major economic
[10:51] challenges facing the residents and
[10:52] businesses?
[10:55] Well, I believe the first all the new
[10:57] projects going on on Third Street, I
[10:59] believe those are wonderful and I think
[11:01] those will help our community a lot to
[11:03] for our growth. And the more the housing
[11:06] that we are currently getting, that's
[11:08] going to continue to have people stay in
[11:11] our community, live in our community,
[11:13] and spend money in our community.
[11:19] What do you envision Crescent City to
[11:21] look like 20 years from now?
[11:26] I envision the downtown area to be up
[11:29] and thriving like Jacksonville and
[11:31] Ashland and to have events and to have
[11:36] want to raise your kids here and a nice
[11:39] retirement community and it just to go
[11:41] in this direction that it's currently
[11:43] going. I feel that we're going in the
[11:45] right direction.
[11:51] » All right. You now have two minutes to
[11:54] give us any final thoughts or statement
[11:56] as to why you should be appointed to the
[11:58] council.
[11:59] >> Mayor, before we do that, I have
[12:01] >> I have one question and it it concerns
[12:05] um social media. I I did a real quick
[12:10] sweep of everybody's social media that
[12:12] applied. And on your social media, if
[12:15] you the first thing you you that comes
[12:17] up is that um your name and then where
[12:19] you live. It says you live in Medford,
[12:22] Oregon. And if you could just address
[12:23] that for us and put our fears aside with
[12:26] that. We've had unfortunately uh people
[12:29] on this council who have tried to be on
[12:32] the council who didn't actually live
[12:33] here.
[12:33] >> I live in Crescent City. I literally
[12:35] live three blocks away from here. And
[12:37] the reason I have Medford is because I
[12:39] had a stalker at one point and I didn't
[12:40] want them to know where I lived.
[12:42] >> Okay, fair enough. I apologize for
[12:46] bringing it up, but
[12:46] >> Nope, you're good. It is a valid
[12:48] question. Thank you.
[12:52] >> Pretty much everybody just so
[13:02] the last ones you got some more. Go
[13:03] ahead.
[13:06] All right. So, two minutes to give us
[13:07] your final thoughts uh or statement on
[13:09] why you should be appointed. I just love
[13:11] our community and I want it to continue
[13:14] to go in a forward motion to make it a
[13:16] good place for my grandkids to ra be
[13:20] raised and to live.
[13:22] And for future generations,
[13:27] » thank you very much.
[13:28] >> Thank you.
[13:56] Good evening, council members.
[13:59] Righty, I got nine questions I'm going
[14:01] to ask you and your best answer them.
[14:04] >> All right, go.
[14:05] >> We'll try.
[14:08] >> All right. Please tell us about
[14:09] yourself, your qualifications, and why
[14:11] you desire to serve on the council.
[14:14] >> Okay. All in one. I have them separated.
[14:18] Uh well first I just want to say that
[14:20] you know for our democracy to function
[14:22] everybody needs to participate. I've
[14:24] always been one of those who likes to
[14:26] participate
[14:29] and we all have different abilities and
[14:32] for me like serving on these commissions
[14:34] and committees is what I like to do you
[14:37] know on the planning and other
[14:39] commissions. Uh as far as my experience,
[14:43] I first spent about 25 years in the
[14:45] aerospace industry and building spy
[14:49] planes and things like that. So
[14:52] uh doing budgets, finance, contracts,
[14:54] audits, just a little bit of everything,
[14:56] proposals,
[14:59] uh overseeing government contracts,
[15:02] federal funding.
[15:03] Um, as far as my public service type of
[15:08] thing, I served seven years on a library
[15:09] board in Palmdale, California.
[15:12] Uh, that was it was a city library. We
[15:14] had about 150,000 people there and we
[15:17] had a budget of about $2 million.
[15:20] And our major accomplishment was there
[15:21] is we got a new library built for the
[15:23] public, which uh which was hard to do. I
[15:27] had to convince the city manager to do
[15:29] it and the council, but it we got it
[15:31] done. Uh I was the public health manager
[15:34] here in Dillard County. Uh I oversaw 29
[15:38] programs. I had to make sure that all 29
[15:40] programs were successfully implemented
[15:43] and for the public um and so I had a
[15:47] budget I had to control over the public
[15:50] health and I did some grant writing and
[15:52] managed some contracts there for the
[15:54] county.
[15:56] And currently I'm the chairman of the
[15:58] Crescent City Planning Commission and
[16:00] chairman of the measure S budget
[16:02] oversight committee and I'm also a
[16:05] member of the Delawork county planning
[16:07] commission. So just recently I did that
[16:10] about three months ago. So
[16:14] uh so anything else? What was the
[16:16] question?
[16:18] >> I think that covered it all.
[16:19] >> Okay, great.
[16:21] >> All right, item number two. If
[16:22] appointed, what would you like to
[16:24] accomplish between now and November
[16:26] 2026?
[16:28] >> Uh, I just want to make sure that we
[16:30] carry on with um
[16:34] getting uh working on this downtown
[16:36] revitalization that's going on and
[16:39] approving or doing anything as far as
[16:41] infrastructure improvements go and what
[16:44] we can do to bring more affordable
[16:46] housing and attracting new businesses,
[16:48] especially to the downtown area.
[16:56] How would you describe your leadership
[16:58] slashcommunication style and how will it
[17:00] benefit the council in resolving a
[17:02] contentious issue?
[17:04] >> Um,
[17:06] I work well with others and I understand
[17:08] you got to compromise. Uh,
[17:12] I like to uh make sure we get all points
[17:16] of view out in the open before we make a
[17:18] decision.
[17:20] Um, I've never had any problems or
[17:23] conflicts during meetings with that. So
[17:27] that's it in a nutshell.
[17:33] » Uh, what do you believe to be the
[17:34] greatest strengths of our city and what
[17:37] are the most?
[17:46] The biggest strength in our city is of
[17:48] course our location
[17:53] and it's also the fact that we're right
[17:55] on the 101 corridor and that we have
[17:58] luckily we have a very proactive city
[17:59] government trying to improve things
[18:01] here. That's to me the three greatest
[18:04] strengths that we have
[18:08] >> and our most pressing concern.
[18:12] Gee, there's that's it's hard to kneel down just one. Um, besides
[18:18] the down to me, the downtown is a sore
[18:21] point. I like to see that improve a lot.
[18:23] But also affordable housing is the other
[18:26] one. We need more affordable. We've got
[18:28] a lot of low-income housing. We need
[18:30] some more of the moderate range housing.
[18:34] I'd like to see a townhouse complex go
[18:37] in the downtown area.
[18:44] One of the most uh important items the
[18:46] council is tasked with is the approval
[18:48] of the city's annual budget. Needs of
[18:50] our community often outweigh the
[18:52] revenues. How would you go about
[18:54] prioritizing the city's multiple
[18:56] competing needs?
[19:00] » That's a tough one.
[19:03] >> Uh that's one of those I don't know. I'd
[19:05] have to review the budget and uh
[19:08] it's kind of you have to make do with
[19:10] what you got and
[19:14] that's where you start have to listing
[19:15] your priorities. What what has to be
[19:18] done first and what can be put off.
[19:31] All right. In 2020, the citizens of
[19:32] Crescent City passed passed Measure S, a
[19:35] once in sales tax to support essential
[19:36] city services. Additionally, in 2022,
[19:39] city voters overwhelming overwhelmingly
[19:42] voted down an initiative to repeal
[19:43] Measure S. If you were appointed to the
[19:45] city council, how would you ensure these
[19:48] funds were allocated to best support the
[19:50] needs of the community?
[19:53] >> Well, as the chairman of the measure S
[19:55] committee, that's what I've been doing.
[19:57] So
[19:59] I reviewing all the expenditures that
[20:02] they've put forth and
[20:04] making sure that they all basically make
[20:07] sense.
[20:15] What is your vision for economic
[20:17] development in the city and what do you
[20:18] see as the major economic challenges
[20:21] facing the residents and businesses?
[20:23] Well, the biggest economic challenges
[20:25] are kind of what I had said. It's the
[20:27] downtown revitalization, infrastructure
[20:30] improvement, uh attracting new
[20:32] businesses, and affordable housing.
[20:36] And I guess working with anybody that we
[20:39] can, public or private, to get these
[20:41] things accomplished is what we need to
[20:44] do.
[20:48] » What do you envision Cresant City to
[20:49] look like in 20 years?
[20:52] I'm hoping we have a nice downtown
[20:54] that's uh walkable, has a lot of
[20:56] businesses that it becomes a destination
[20:59] spot. People drive right past Eureka and
[21:02] other places to come here. Uh we've we
[21:06] got a nice developed downtown that the
[21:08] citizens and tourists would like to come
[21:11] walk around the downtown and
[21:14] uh you know um shop and go to
[21:17] restaurants and enjoy. and like like as
[21:20] we're what's going on with the building
[21:23] enough housing downtown to I'm a big fan
[21:26] of the mixeduse
[21:28] uh development.
[21:37] » Council, any questions before I ask the
[21:38] last one?
[21:40] >> Just wanted to confirm uh Mr. Shamblin,
[21:43] you live in Crescent City. Is that
[21:44] correct?
[21:45] >> I live about four houses down from you.
[21:47] >> All right.
[21:49] I think that was more for the record.
[21:51] >> Just for the record because uh I had
[21:53] asked the uh
[21:55] >> I'm the blue house for you.
[21:58] >> All right. Just wanted to for
[21:59] consistency sake make sure that I asked
[22:01] that.
[22:03] >> All right. Uh anybody else council?
[22:07] >> All right. You now have two minutes to
[22:08] give us any final thoughts or a
[22:10] statement as to why you be appointed to
[22:13] council.
[22:17] Well,
[22:18] I think I've pretty much said it all. I
[22:21] just need to say here. Um, it seem I
[22:25] thought I did have one more thing I
[22:27] wanted to mention here.
[22:30] Um, also besides all my other things, I
[22:32] als I am I am good at handling large
[22:35] chunks of data and kind of boiling it
[22:37] down to a yes or no question. And we
[22:40] have to do that a lot on the planning
[22:41] commission as you know to deal with a
[22:45] lot of uh facts and get it down to the
[22:49] right answer here. Um
[22:53] I I just say if I have any weakness,
[22:55] it's probably public speaking and I'm
[22:57] working on improving that.
[23:02] Uh but I think I can uh do a good job
[23:04] for you guys and I think we can all uh
[23:06] help move the city forward. Righty.
[23:11] Okay. Thank you, sir.
[23:12] >> Thank you.
[23:17] » Not that it matters. I'm curious if if um he sits on the county board. Uh
[23:23] that would be uh
[23:27] Yeah, I guess not that it matters
[23:30] really. I'm just just curious. Well, he
[23:38] They came. Yeah. Here.
[23:43] Um, council.
[23:51] Well, who wants the first whack at this?
[23:54] All right. Do we want to do public
[23:56] comment first?
[23:57] >> Yeah, why don't we do public comment?
[23:58] That sounds good, actually.
[24:02] Excuse
[24:10] me. My name is Kevin Hendrickk.
[24:13] I'm not a city resident, but I do
[24:16] recognize that when the city does well,
[24:18] the county does well, and the city is
[24:21] doing very well these days. I'm
[24:24] impressed with the progress that's been
[24:26] made lately on housing and
[24:27] redevelopment, and I hope you'll keep up
[24:29] the good work. Thank you.
[24:33] Time flies when you're having fun. Seems
[24:36] like yesterday I was standing before the
[24:38] city council advocating that Ray Olman
[24:40] be appointed to fill a vacancy. I made
[24:43] the logical point that he had already
[24:46] demonstrated a commitment to the job
[24:48] because he ran for city council in the
[24:50] prior election.
[24:52] City council made a good choice then and
[24:54] Rey has been a good addition.
[24:57] I always appreciate it when Rey reminds
[24:59] us all that city council is a
[25:00] nonpartisan office. It is best for the
[25:04] city council to avoid external politics
[25:06] and focus on the nuts and bolts of
[25:08] running the city.
[25:11] You have a very important decision to
[25:12] make today. I encourage you to forget
[25:15] political considerations and consider
[25:18] the experience and qualifications of the
[25:20] applicants. With all due respect to the
[25:22] two people who volunteered for this job,
[25:25] Steve Shamblan is objectively the best
[25:28] choice.
[25:29] City council previously appointed Steve
[25:31] to the planning commission and the
[25:33] measure s committee
[25:36] where he has demonstrated his
[25:37] commitment.
[25:39] Steve has planning experience and a
[25:41] detailed awareness of city projects.
[25:43] This is good preparation to serve on the
[25:46] city council.
[25:48] Steve does his homework and shows up at
[25:51] meetings prepared to make informed
[25:52] decisions.
[25:55] As a city moves ahead with a major
[25:57] redevelopment plan, it would be useful
[25:59] to have a knowledgeable and experienced
[26:02] planner at the table.
[26:07] I have two minutes left.
[26:10] Awkward pause.
[26:12] So, um, I don't have anything more to
[26:15] say other than I urge you to, uh,
[26:17] appoint Steve Shamblin, uh, to fill this
[26:19] city council seat, and I thank you for
[26:21] your attention. Good luck.
[26:28] Any other public comment?
[26:34] Right. And I will bring it back to
[26:36] council.
[26:48] There's no further discussion amongst
[26:49] the Oh, go ahead.
[26:53] » Um,
[26:57] it's a very hard decision because if I
[27:00] actually would like both, can we have
[27:03] two
[27:06] uh
[27:09] very impressed that uh both applicants
[27:13] immediately focused on moving the city
[27:16] forward and keeping that momentum going.
[27:19] That's very important. Um so I was very
[27:23] happy to hear in both cases that that
[27:26] was also their motivation for being on this. Um,
[27:33] having said that, I I do feel I did read
[27:37] uh Mr. Shamblin's resume.
[27:40] Um, and I have worked with him um in
[27:44] previous committees. So, um I do agree
[27:48] that he really does his homework.
[27:51] He also has uh he didn't mention this
[27:54] but I know from his resume um that he
[27:57] also has um education in urban planning
[28:00] I think is very useful.
[28:04] I just kind of feel like even even
[28:07] though boy hard decision I think he
[28:10] perhaps has the or definitely has the
[28:13] greater experience than this in this
[28:14] case.
[28:22] Well, um I guess it's my my turn at this
[28:25] point. Um thank you both for being
[28:29] willing to apply for this position and
[28:31] to come before the council and uh go
[28:34] through this process. I know that it's
[28:37] nerve-wracking and it's it's not fun. Uh
[28:40] it's a it stretches you and grows you.
[28:43] Um,
[28:46] you both have a lot of life experience.
[28:49] You both have experience in government.
[28:55] Um,
[28:58] but one thing that really um
[29:04] really came out with Noya was that her desire to help build the community
[29:10] that we have here. something that that
[29:12] we we really do have here is a rich
[29:16] community spirit here in Crescent City.
[29:19] And I I appreciated that. Another thing,
[29:22] she's uh volunteered with the fire
[29:25] department and been on the association
[29:28] and been a fire captain and ran calls
[29:31] and and gotten out there and and helped
[29:33] save lives in our community that I
[29:35] really appreciated uh from her
[29:37] application. Um,
[29:41] and with our fire chief stepping on to
[29:47] new pastures, I I think that we also
[29:51] need to be thinking about somebody being
[29:53] on this council that has some experience
[29:54] in fire that could help us help kind of
[29:58] draw us towards the right candidate
[30:01] for our new fire chief. Um,
[30:06] Steve, you've got a lot of experience.
[30:07] I'm not going to deny that. Um, thank
[30:10] you for all of your work so far with the
[30:12] city. Um,
[30:17] but I I feel that the NOA may be the
[30:20] better choice in my opinion because of
[30:22] those things that I just brought up. Um,
[30:30] that would be my opinion.
[30:38] There's no further council discussion.
[30:43] Um for me it's the measure S's planning
[30:46] commission um experience does me um
[30:51] that's a step towards towards here. I
[30:54] mean we do a lot of the same things. The
[30:56] meetings have this basic same format.
[30:58] It's it's it's experience um that I
[31:03] would value in a council.
[31:06] Um that being said, um we have anybody
[31:10] willing to put the first uh
[31:17] » nomination.
[31:18] Thank you. It's been a long
[31:20] day. I apologize.
[31:21] >> It's okay. I would
[31:23] >> I would
[31:25] move that we appoint Steve Shamlin to
[31:29] fill the vacant city council seat
[31:31] effective upon their signing the oath of
[31:34] office through the November 2026 general
[31:38] elections certification.
[31:40] Second,
[31:44] any other
[31:47] motion from the floor
[31:50] >> being that
[31:52] you've uh
[31:56] » Yeah. Same thing as as our other things,
[32:00] right? So, we have to we check make sure
[32:02] there's not a second motion that that is
[32:08] » well I I guess I will move that Noya be
[32:11] our nomination or candidate for city
[32:14] council
[32:16] and I know that I'm not going to get a
[32:18] second on that. That's okay.
[32:21] >> All righty. Um please hold the vote for
[32:24] the first nomination.
[32:29] Uh, Council Member Alman,
[32:30] >> yes.
[32:31] >> Council member Go.
[32:34] >> Uh, no.
[32:35] >> Mayor Prom Tinkler,
[32:37] >> yes.
[32:38] >> And Mayor Wright,
[32:39] >> yes.
[32:42] >> All righty. And, uh, that is actually
[32:44] the end of our
[32:47] agenda here. And it looks like I am
[32:50] going to be adjourning us until the next
[32:52] meeting which is scheduled for January
[32:55] 5th, 2026.
[32:58] That was our original plan when this
[33:00] agenda was posted, but now we will have
[33:03] some items that we need to take for the
[33:05] council. So most likely we will have our
[33:07] December.
[33:09] >> Okay.
[33:09] >> As scheduled.
[33:10] Okay. So take that back
[33:13] then. But you had something to add.
[33:17] All right. So then I will adjourn us
[33:19] till our December 15th meeting right
[33:21] here at the Flynn Center 6 p.m. Thank
[33:24] you.
