So 2169 02:44:01,419 --> 02:44:03,921 number three, I asked for it to 2170 02:44:03,921 --> 02:44:05,356 be written to if appointed, do 2171 02:44:05,356 --> 02:44:06,958 you intend to seek election to 2172 02:44:06,958 --> 02:44:08,392 the city Council seat when this 2173 02:44:08,392 --> 02:44:10,762 term expires?

So the changes we put 2192 02:44:52,971 --> 02:44:55,407 into place are, um, just 2193 02:44:55,407 --> 02:44:58,710 allowing a more long term look. 2194 02:44:58,710 --> 02:45:00,312 Number ten is just switching 2195 02:45:00,312 --> 02:45:01,947 three and top. So it says what 2196 02:45:01,947 --> 02:45:02,915 are your top three priorities 2197 02:45:02,915 --> 02:45:06,515 for the city rather than the 2198 02:45:06,585 --> 02:45:08,587 three top priorities? Um, okay. 2199 02:45:08,587 --> 02:45:11,524 Getting to the to the real one. 2200 02:45:11,524 --> 02:45:13,492 Number 11 seemed like it was 2201 02:45:13,492 --> 02:45:14,860 Is important at the time. The 2202 02:45:14,860 --> 02:45:16,662 council member Lewis was 2203 02:45:16,662 --> 02:45:18,970 appointed. Um. It says 2204 02:45:18,970 --> 02:45:19,298 circumcised.

And it talks 2208 02:45:23,236 --> 02:45:25,171 about an impacted budget. But 2209 02:45:25,171 --> 02:45:26,539 due to the passage of sst, our 2210 02:45:26,539 --> 02:45:28,541 budget is actually in a very 2211 02:45:28,541 --> 02:45:28,908 good position.
