all we're here to talk about our general
man search discussion and U as we uh

16
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:18,560
city of starting off we'll uh I'll start
off by

17
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:24,360
saying what I thought about Scott
M's uh interview

18
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:28,120
meeting um I personally thought he did a
good job on the interview he said some

19
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:35,680
of the right
things he talked a little bit about uh

20
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:39,280
having a good team together and that's
how he like doing things that's how we

21
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:45,120
were already doing
thing uh he talked a little bit about uh

22
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:50,239
some negative points you know that he
had throughout his career uh down the

23
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:54,439
line uh he wasn't ashamed to talk about
it he didn't go into details but you

24
00:03:52,840 --> 00:04:00,319
know he said everything that was good
with it so

25
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:04,879
um that's how I feel about
well I think first thing we need to do

26
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:10,760
tonight is uh we need to make a decision
on whether we want to

27
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:16,639
invite iish to come or not you know he
sent Chris a letter or they talked and

28
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:22,680
said he had two weeks in jly and he'd be
glad to come over if we wanted him to so

29
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:30,280
I think we need to decide first do we
want him to come over and interview or

30
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:34,280
not that's what I think we need to do
first and and once we get him either

31
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:41,240
we're going to open it up for him to
come in then we're done we'll get Chris

32
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:47,880
invited and then we'll interview him but
if not if we don't want him to come

33
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:53,680
then far as I'm concerned we can vote on
the other man

34
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:58,520
tonight can I make a comment yeah so I I
think that if Mr ivish would if he had

35
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:02,160
true intentions of joining us in L
Tennessee

36
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:08,520
over a month span of
time I mean he's got had a he's got

37
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:12,479
plenty of opportunity to join us before
I mean you'd think he could get to us

38
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:17,960
before July if he had true intentions of
want to be

39
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,960
here I mean that's my

40
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:25,600
comment well I I want to say first of
all that uh with regards to the

41
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,520
interview that we conducted last week I
feel like all the folks that we've

42
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:32,759
interviewed up this point I thought I
thought that Scot missero

43
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,319
you was probably the leader of those
four now there's two things there's two

44
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,960
points I want to make first of all I
want to tell you this ever since we've

45
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:46,720
been looking for a manager ever since Ty
left I've had a lot of people I've had

46
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:50,280
people of my friends neighbors business
people that I've talked to that have

47
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,639
made this statement to me and I've still
has had somebody talk to me about it

48
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:58,080
last week why do we have to go out to
the four ends of the Earth and look for

49
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:01,919
somebody to be the manager and uh I know
that all y'all got the same email ID did

50
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:07,680
from the attorney that we've got a local
candidate that has uh submitted his uh

51
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:11,240
uh resume I would know the gentleman if
he walked in the door right now but

52
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:15,720
whenever I reviewed his resume what I
can say is he certainly has a lot of

53
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:19,840
qualifications he's got uh education
he's got experience as a leader and I

54
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,800
don't understand why we wouldn't take
the time to at least interview somebody

55
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:28,240
that's living right here in this
community would be no problem to put it

56
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:32,800
together I mean whenever we say you know
we have to publicize it in the newspaper

57
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,479
and and and set a date I'm sure this
gentleman could be here because he lives

58
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:42,720
here locally so that's the first thing
the second thing is I was involved in an

59
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:46,400
interview with ivish and U whenever we
had the interview on the zoom meeting

60
00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:52,120
and there were a lot of things that he
said that that interested me and I think

61
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:56,280
that I can understand you know why he
wanted to remove his from consideration

62
00:06:54,120 --> 00:07:00,039
at the time but now he wants to be
considered and I think that we should

63
00:06:59,039 --> 00:07:03,520
make
whatever allowances we need to make to

64
00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:06,759
have him in here and interview him so
anyway that's way I feel I threw it out

65
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:12,960
there and you guys can sh I just like
for to come on and Jon you know let's

66
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:18,639
get his interview done I mean that's all
I'm saying is is you know whenever you

67
00:07:16,039 --> 00:07:23,039
know that somebody else you know asking
one man to interview you right now and

68
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:27,560
then you saying well I can't show up for
a month that you know you'd think he'd

69
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:31,120
come on down here and interview if he
wanted to be with us well from what I

70
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:35,360
understand and from what Chris has told
us in the past they're basically doing

71
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:40,280
what I refer to as a union shop out
there and he's negotiating with every

72
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:44,440
Union you know not just Utility side but
like fire and police and the and the and

73
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:48,000
and the city employees are all unionized
and he's in the middle of that and also

74
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:51,879
I know this and I think council member
Newman can remember this when we

75
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:57,039
interviewed like in January he had like
a three-month old baby Y and and I'm

76
00:07:54,199 --> 00:08:01,960
certain that you know he would uh you
know want to bring

77
00:08:00,039 --> 00:08:05,360
his wife and that child here he's never
been here before in his life so I'm sure

78
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:11,319
there's a lot of you know things that
are moving pieces for him to get him to

79
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:15,919
come here so well we've all got opinions
on where we want him to come and you

80
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:21,440
don't the best thing you can do is is
Tim can ask for a motion on your off

81
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:25,639
side and see where that goes and I'll do
the same on the Utility side and see

82
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:30,879
where that goes and then we'll know
where we stand we going to bring it here

83
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:35,039
or we're not going to bring it here so
what's the hold up let's move yeah I

84
00:08:32,680 --> 00:08:38,919
guess my point would be we didn't see
enough from Mr mazaro to go ahead and

85
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:43,000
point for the job let's go ahead and
move to the you know next part of the

86
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:51,000
step was bringing Mr iish in for an
interview so um that's how I see it

87
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:56,120
anyways so if we didn't see anything
make us feel so moved to move to to

88
00:08:53,480 --> 00:09:01,839
ask ask Mazar to come in and take the
position I think that we should go and

89
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:06,120
go ahead and bring schedule schedule Mr
iish to come down for an interview

90
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,959
before and before we consider because I
think I think we kind of discussed

91
00:09:07,959 --> 00:09:13,880
considering internal applic not internal
applicants but opening up the

92
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,640
application process again I think before
we consider um down or gentleman's

93
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:26,360
application to to finish to to close
this book or or get you know do I feel

94
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:29,680
like to get to get to the Finish Line on
this one does that make sense what I'm

95
00:09:27,959 --> 00:09:34,040
trying to say well I understand you're
saying I mean I don't agree but I

96
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:38,920
understand what you're saying yeah well
I do think you know I don't think we

97
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:42,519
ought to do anything toward Mazar until
we know what we're going to do with iish

98
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:46,640
if we're not going to do anything with
iish and yeah let's move forward with

99
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:51,560
with Mazar and let's say if we want it
or we don't want

100
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:55,959
it we want entertainment I mean that way
you got to bring you got two people to

101
00:09:53,760 --> 00:10:04,240
compare with but if you want to do it
that way you know I'll make a motion

102
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:04,240
that we uh bring 11 for personal

103
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,560
interview a

104
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:20,000
second
favor this motion say i

105
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:29,760
i
n

106
00:10:24,839 --> 00:10:38,279
that you all you all are solid
okay do we have a motion on Utility side

107
00:10:33,079 --> 00:10:44,279
to bring iish in I make motion second
have a motion in a

108
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,279

I'm that we we've agreed to go this

118
00:11:46,079 --> 00:11:53,519
route right now and I feel like we need
to conclude what we're doing right now

119
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:56,839
before we I think if we entertain one
additional resume we should entertain

120
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,600
all the additional resumes so I don't
know if we're prepared to do

126
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:33,760
the attorney's office is going to reach
out to aish and plan a date for an

127
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:39,680
in-person
interview and I thought I understood

128
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:45,760
that there was a consideration of having
a joint meeting that same

129
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:50,880
day I just need to know how to advertise
this joint meeting to what day the same

130
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:55,560
day that he comes in for an interview M
you just have to find out whenever the

131
00:12:52,480 --> 00:13:00,880
day when he's come so we'll go ahead and
have uh you want to make a vote that

132
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:05,839
afternoon
evening well just interview me and then

133
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:10,240
have the discussion I think we're a
little bit blocked because we don't know

134
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:14,480
what day it's going to be right I'm just
trying to find out are you doing just

135
00:13:11,959 --> 00:13:19,639
the interview that day and then a joint
meeting another day or are you wanting

136
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:24,440
to do the interview that day and the
joint meeting that same afternoon I

137
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:30,199
think we just need to uh do the
interview and then have a joint meeting

138
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:35,880
afterwards I but the same same date same
date absolute same date yeah but what

139
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:40,040
what we don't have no times we don't
have anything that's correct I'm just

140
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:44,760
trying to find out to do everything that
day yeah she's saying for example if

141
00:13:41,959 --> 00:13:50,079
they picked July 27th we want to go
ahead and have our meeting to discussing

142
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:53,560
the same day that he has the inter so if
he interviews at 10:00 a.m. do we want

143
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:57,480
to meet at 5:30 to discuss it that day
or we want to wait an extra week I

144
00:13:55,519 --> 00:14:02,880
understand that but she needs times
right I can worry about that later

145
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:08,320
know if you want it to be the same day
everybody want everybody want to do that

146
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:08,320
I don't have a problem

147
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:16,680
with just make it same day nobody else
is saying anything so the interview and

148
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:22,240
then a joint
meeting on the same day

149
00:14:19,079 --> 00:14:28,480
same depends on the
day it's all yeah it's all okay yeah so

150
00:14:25,639 --> 00:14:32,000
start start communicating with K via
email

151
00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:38,440
about dates you know you cannot do so we
can eliminate even talking to Mr iish

152
00:14:34,199 --> 00:14:43,120
about those dates and could have Mr iish
