[0:04] It
[13:06] is now time to open the special session to hear public comments before closed session. We'll
[13:13] begin with the roll call.
[13:17] Councilmember Jim Minnes. Precente. Councilmember Wilson. Here.
[13:23] Vice Mayor Robinson. Here. Mayor Martinez. Here. Councilmember Zapata. Here. For the
[13:33] Councilmember Brown and Councilmember Bonna are absent for roll call.
[13:38] During closed session, Council will discuss the following items.
[13:41] Item C1, Public Employee Appointment, Title Interim City Manager Recruitment, Item C2,
[13:49] Public Employee Appointment, Title City Manager Recruitment, and Item C3, Public Employee Performance
[13:55] Evaluation, Title City Manager.
[13:58] We do have one request to address the Council.
[14:01] If there's anyone joining us online that would like to address the council, please raise
[14:06] your hand at this time.
[14:08] And there's no one online.
[14:12] So we have one speaker and that's Cordell Hentler.
[14:15] So good evening Mayor Martinez, a council, Cordell Hentler and I have three things to share
[14:21] regarding these items.
[14:22] So I'm going to do a little out of order so as far as the performance evaluation, Shasta
[14:28] current has done at a standing job, she always presents ideas to whatever ideas she has
[14:35] that this council has, she takes it into consideration. When you go back in there, think of
[14:40] all the hard work that she has accomplished. Number one, number two, as far as I look forward
[14:45] to her weekly reports, because she shares a lot of information to the community. So when
[14:50] you go back in there, she has put a lot of effort into our city.
[14:55] Number three, she is compassionate and she is always filled.
[15:00] So when you go back in there, think about, she is a fearless leader. In my book, she is fearless. She does not let nothing or no one bring her down. So that being said, she's done a great job. So when you go back in there, think about the contribution she has done. Then as far as the interim city manager, I looked at the charter from 1999 and it does specify that that the city manager she can report a deputy or department has.
[15:31] So that's the decision that this council should consider.
[15:34] And then as far as the City Manager recruitment,
[15:37] you just approved Bob Murray and Associates two weeks ago,
[15:40] so I would use them because they can get the job done
[15:44] just that fast.
[15:45] So with that, go back and do that close session.
[15:48] Think about all those things that I said.
[15:53] That was our only speaker.
[15:56] With that, the open public comment is closed
[16:00] and we will now retire to close session.
[1:40:50] As we hear from Pam, we can begin. I'm trying to get my camera to come on. Can you hear me? We can. Okay, so let me just take roll.
[1:41:09] Can I get my camera on KCRT?
[1:41:14] Anyway, council member. Hey, minutes.
[1:41:21] Presidente. Councilmember Zapata. Here. Councilmember. Here we go. Councilmember Wilson.
[1:41:29] here.
[1:41:33] Vice Mayor Robinson. Here. And Mayor Martinez. Here. Well, the record accounts
[1:41:40] member Bona and Brown are absent. And then on the next item, we have a report from the
[1:41:46] city attorney on final decisions made during closed session. No final decisions were made
[1:41:51] during tonight's closed session.
[1:41:55] Okay. All right. I have a question. Does anyone have
[1:42:01] a birthday approaching? Or is that my imagination?
[1:42:12] My birthday is tomorrow.
[1:42:16] Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear
[1:42:25] Claudia. Happy birthday to you. Thank you. And with that we go.
[1:42:33] Happy birthday!
[1:42:35] Thank you! Good night!
[1:42:37] Good night!
