[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

[1:05] single item on the consent calendar?

[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.
