0:49 – 1:03Speaker 1

Namaskaram. Today is Wednesday, September 9th, 2026. We are at the Carmel by DCCT Hall. I am hosting this special session of the Carmel by DCCT Council at 12 o'clock in the afternoon. Can I call CET Clerk Devai Hajar?

1:24Speaker 2

Nova, can you please read the general comments for the special councils? Certainly.

1:28 – 2:38Speaker 3

The general comments are available for the issues included in the agenda in the special CET Council councils. After announcing each issue in the agenda, the Mayor will call on the public to comment on that issue. If Mayor does not give any other instructions, each person will have three minutes to speak. It is not mandatory to say the name, but it will help to recognize the person who spoke in minutes. Those who are not familiar with the Brown Act or those who directly participate will be muted. Thank you. Today, we have only one important agenda. We will do a lot of things in the agenda, including council discussions, meetings, instructions for employees, and procedures. We have only one more thing to do, which is the announcement of the status of the CET Administrator Act and the Council. This is a major task, because the process of finding a CET Administrator who is suitable for Karmal Nagar is started through this. Wendy Staff Report Wendy Our recruiter is Wendy Brown.

2:40 – 3:25Speaker 4

Thank you. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Today we are going to talk a little about our community meeting. Let's see how it went. I think it went very well. Let's talk about the important things in that field. In addition to that, let's talk about how you enjoyed the brochure and the tips you gave me about the postcard and photos from the previous field. I would like to seek further comments from the Council as well. I would also like to hear from anyone in the public. If the council agrees, I would like the Mayor to start from you. Would you like to hear a little about the important things in our public service? I think that would be very good.

3:25Speaker 1

But before you start, we can't see who Nova is online. How many people are participating in this service? I would like to know that. But only one person is participating. That too, at least one person.

3:38Speaker 3

They are there. Uha, W, B, Sister P. We can't see it.

3:41 – 3:59Speaker 2

I was looking at my monitor, not at the big screen. Okay, then we need Uha. Someone. She is the one in my life. Yes. Let me tell everyone watching this on YouTube. Cindy Lloyd is the only person in the audience. Thank you for coming, Cindy. We appreciate it. Okay, continue, Wendy. Okay. Um, I thought you would like to see a glimpse of the things I'm going to highlight.

3:59 – 11:29Speaker 4

Of course, it will be helpful. Okay, continue. Okay, then, um, if you can see my screen, I will go through some important things. First, let me say that there was a lot of support. Um, I think some people came within these two hours. We started at 1 o'clock and ended at about 3 o'clock. Um, I would like to thank everyone in your community who participated that day. It was a great pleasure. What you need to know about the things I understood as important is that there is nothing new. That's very good. We wanted to make sure that we are all on the same page. What I hear from the council is what I hear from your stakeholder group. That is why people are talking and listening. That is very important. Oh, but I have some important things to say about the things you asked for earlier. So, one of the important things to do is to protect the proper nature and culture of the residents of Karmel. Then, after Karnadi, the community first was noticed. What does that mean? In addition, the historical nature of the village, the general style, the beauty of the village, the way the residents are treated, etc. were also mentioned. Therefore, it must be ensured that the person who comes is the one who agrees with that culture, who respects it, and who wants to develop it for the people. The next important thing I heard the most is that it is essential to complete things responsibly and responsibly. This person must be sure that he can use good modern management tools such as KPI, KPI, and Benchmarks to come. These are all the things I heard from you. Certainly, it was in the brochure itself. Confirm your expectations, make the goals that are clearly set, and make the people responsible for achieving those goals responsible for the chosen employees and society. It is important to accept those prejudices, pay attention to things, and be able to talk about the measures and results. Therefore, this will be very important for the person who comes forward. Forgive me. Let me drink some water. Wisdom will definitely be another important factor. However, wisdom is a very important factor. It is not only a leader who can present the best of his knowledge, but also a person who can openly say that it is illegal, or that we all belong to the same council. Even if your knowledge is excellent, we can bring it to the council and accept it. It is important to understand that this is the job of the CET Manager or CET Administrator, that is, how to handle things from top to bottom, how to stand firm even when reporting to a selected body. Therefore, you need someone who has the necessary emotional intelligence, national knowledge and knowledge to take all this together. Therefore, add appropriate support. He is a person who takes good care of the community members who have good natural resources, council, livelihoods, and any special needs. He is a person who takes good care of the community members who have good natural resources, council, livelihoods, and any special needs. He is a person who takes good care of the community members who have good natural resources, council, livelihoods, and any special needs. He is a person who takes good care of the community members who have good natural resources, council, livelihoods, and any special needs. He is a person who takes good care of the community members who have good natural resources, council, livelihoods, and any special needs. So, the other thing I heard from all of you is that the interest of the residents is that they are happy with the business Vinodha Sancharam. So, there is a conflict between Vinodha Sancharam and the local residents in Karmal. That is, a person who can connect business and tourism to the lifestyle everyone wants, who can manage that process, and who can do business that does not go against the standards of marketing and investors. Next comes the basic facilities. About the things we talked about earlier. Since we talked about this in the meetings that we held in general and independently, I will not talk about this in more detail. However, I am talking about the big CIP, CIP jobs you have. Therefore, a person who can ensure that he is completing the projects that are in place and that he is joining as the new Public Works Director within the right time and in the budget. A person who can understand the skills of the human beings such as inner attention, intelligence, discipline, responsibility, responsibility, and behavior. A person who can maintain the happiness and prosperity of the human beings in addition to making things happen. I have already told you about Ashiya Vinamayat. But he is a person who is very good at making decisions. A person who can express the benefits and disadvantages of things clearly to the council and society without looking only at one side. A person who is able to evaluate and evaluate things, who is able to behave as a living person, a resident and a businessman. Therefore, financial business knowledge is important in creating harmony. I think this is very clear. However, a person with financial knowledge can have a great opportunity to make decisions based on the budget chosen by the society and the living. This goes back to nature, but a person who can reflect on the historical preservation and the interests of the society and say that changes are needed. We tend to get into more complex matters, things that many of us who speak do not emphasize much. I had talked about long-term welfare. Therefore, it should be ensured that people are getting their permits and other things at the same time. We talked about tourism earlier, but there have been a lot of discussions about parking. He is a person who can think differently about things and understand what can be done about the parking problems in our society. Then, he assures that they have a clear understanding of the situation, the current situation, the local authorities, and the International Commission. He assures that they will represent Sacramento and Carmel well. That's why I heard what I had to say. Do you have any questions or anything to talk about? Do you have any questions? I think you did a good job. I don't know about the other council members. I haven't talked to them. But...

11:34 – 11:46Speaker 2

Many people who were a little suspicious of this process contacted me and they were very satisfied with the way you handled that session on Friday and said it was good. It was done well. Many are making it clear. So, thank you. I am happy to hear this.

11:46 – 15:47Speaker 4

I request the council to know that all the things I have told you have been heard from you. That's a good thing. That's what we want to hear. That's what we want to see. So I haven't made any major changes to the brochure. I gave priority to some things that I felt needed more attention, but I also gave priority to some things that were like magic in history books, and I also helped to make people understand that there are many things in the Carmelian reality. So there were some subtle changes in it. Last time I heard from the council, it seemed like a business description and the marketing experience of the brochure was poor. It was not exciting at all. So I tried to make the recruitment process a little more exciting. So you can see some subtle language styles that make it more interesting. So do you think you got the opportunity to test it? I have made some changes in the first edition. It will help people to feel more interested in reading it. However, this is the first edition of any brochure. So, how do you attract your attention? That way you will feel like reading more. So, this will be a slightly exaggerated nature. This will show some things that are in line with the brochure, but I think it will attract your attention more. Ah, find the Carmeline. The subtle changes here are about how to reduce the importance of reality, but at the same time make more progress. That has included two more things. But there have been no substantial changes. The main changes have been made in the photos on this page. We had six different photos, which were cut into three parts. It was difficult for me to find pictures of more real estate or streets from the photos you sent me. So I decided to include a picture of the CET Hall. That would be a good decision. When I went to the next car mall, I saw four or five people taking pictures of the CET Hall on the first day. I think it's a beautiful building and it would be interesting to see the place where the CET manager and the administrator go to work. I'm sorry. Then, I was very interested in using other old pictures of pine trees, but I thought this picture was good to show the specialty of Carmel. Then there is another photo of your beautiful beach. If we want, we can change it. But when there are only three photos, the page gets a balance. The change in the job description made these bullet points more clear. They were a little big. Now things can be understood quickly. So, avoiding unnecessary words made the points more clear and accurate. Next, we are going to the part about the visual employer. Then, some other photos have been changed to show more views of the streets and reality in your community. Then, from those who are in your community, we heard that there are more things to say about our beach than what is in that photo. There are more things on our beach than what is seen on the front page. That's why I thought it would be better to hide this photo here. We have used the same photo here as well. There are no changes on this page. Then I have to check the letters one more time. I wasn't sure. I don't think we've changed the letters. So I have to check that one. So if there's anything, I'll leave it to you. I'm going to turn off my camera. Oh, I should have shared it. I don't think I've done it. I'm sorry. I thought I was doing it. Um, I want to share a picture of it as soon as possible. So, will that help? It's in front of us for those who watch it on YouTube.

15:47 – 16:40Speaker 2

Okay. For those who want an ARC, I've sent it in my pocket. Okay. There's no change in the first page regarding the photos. Um, there have been some minor changes on this page. We used three photos here instead of the CET hall and the picture of your garden. Then, these are the real pictures we submitted. She has included them instead of the previous ones. Then, there is nothing wrong with the photos on this page. So, okay, I am stopping my camera. Mayor, it is your decision how to take the discussion forward. Before listening to the public opinion, do you have any questions? Cindy, come here. Please tell us the public opinion.

16:40Speaker 1

Since you are the only person here, we would like to talk to you. From your side, public participation is required.

16:50 – 19:11Speaker 3

Mayor, council, citizens, Cindy Lloyd, and Legulega are a big change for me. The pictures were good, Wendy. I know Ian Martin had submitted some of them. I wanted to see the Memorial Arch and the library, but I didn't go out. There are a lot of pictures of the arch next to me, but I decided to move away from it and let the activities of farming, living, and entertainment go on. Because you are the ones who make the decisions, you should not always wait for my attention. However, I don't think that the words that started with magic, charm, and storybook were used by Carmel. I chose the same words as charm, but none of them worked. So I decided to go back to farming. And I... Let's see. Protect Carmel's character and beauty. I'm happy that you did that. Then on our 4th of September, the yoga was very good. You did a very good job in that yoga. You were really amazing. Your staff and colleagues were very good. Yes. I really liked it. Everyone started talking. Because I said all the things I had to say, I didn't have to say much. That's why I waited till the end. Let's see. I had told Wendy that it did not come to a conclusion, but she said that we have a very good medical community here in Abimuga. Therefore, they will not have to go anywhere far for the medical assistance they need. One thing I have told them is that it is important for a person to have a normal mind, because we all need it. It also comes to a conclusion at the right time. And one thing that I don't understand is how the higher historical protection can be balanced with innovation. I don't really understand that. I think that historical protection should be given first, but that's all I have to say about innovation.

19:15Speaker 3

I don't understand. Maybe you can explain it to me. Okay. That's all I have to say. Okay. Thank you, Cindy. Good comments. I appreciate that.

19:20 – 19:47Speaker 2

Okay. If there is no one online or anywhere else, we can bring this back as a discussion. Jeff, let me start by thanking you for the advice on the pictures. I think it came out very well. That was Jeff's wish. I think Alessandra contributed a little more to that. So, thank you very much. I think this is now being portrayed in a much better way in the city. I am returning this to you. Does anyone have anything to say? Continue.

19:52 – 22:50Speaker 3

Thank you, Mayor. Wendy, thank you very much for all the things you have done so far for today's announcement. It was really amazing. I have a few more things to say. I know that you have announced today that you will not be able to update the news on the 6th page of Legulega. Therefore, the last news to be announced is on October 12th, the first round will be announced on November 6th, and the second round will be announced on November 16th. But that's something that can be solved easily. Another idea is that if we appoint one person, we can organize a meet and greet in the Sunset Center to introduce the person appointed to the community. Thus, everyone will be able to know more about the person we have chosen to participate in it. I definitely agree that the number of photographers has increased. I would like to thank our local professional photographer Ian Martin for all the pictures he has given. It has made a big difference, and I think it represents our city more accurately than any other marketing picture. So, Jeff, what you said is definitely right. I think there are a lot of changes. A small question about the first photo, I may have made a mistake. In the old photo we had, I thought that the lack of golf course and the sea was shown more. I did not get the opportunity to review the old brochure. However, it is the same photo. Since the golf course is Pebble Beach, I had a small regret. We do not want to picture the city where it is and where Pebble Beach begins in the wrong way. But that's a small thing. When I returned to the community session on Friday, Wendy, you and your team did a great job. The things you got from the workshop that took place on Friday 4th, you acted in a wonderful way. It was a great contribution. It was a great session. I thank everyone who participated in it and the feedback from the residents. It was very good. As you suggested, it is very important that we all join in the same thing. The feedback you received from the community on Friday really strengthened the discussions you had earlier. It is inspiring our community. I think the brochure is perfect. This is what the community wants and what they want from a CET administrator. Finally, I would like to say that I have been approached by a number of people who have presented ideas about the entire process of finding the CET Administrator. It is their need that we do not make decisions because it is a very important decision. Even if you are not able to make that decision at the end of the year, it is okay to move on to the new year. Because this is a major decision, we have to take the necessary time to think and do it. You don't have to do it right away or right away. In fact, when I was finishing things, a few days ago, a business executive shared one thing with me. He said, if they are doing business in the business world, quickly remove it and make it legal. It ends. So these thoughts are shared here. But once again, thank you for everything you have done.

22:59 – 29:08Speaker 2

I am making some comments about Wendy and the community meeting. I was at Zoom. I felt that it was going very well. I felt that there were a lot of people who agreed that it was going well. It was a helpful discussion. I also heard the same opinions that the Mayor heard. Especially, I feel that many people are participating in this process by accepting you as the leader of this movement. I think the brochure is beautiful. Jeff's opinions on the pictures were liked. I'm not sure if it should be in the brochure itself. I think that our local public schools are also very good, with Cindy's opinion that it is a good medical aid. So, if I am a person who wants to change my family, you may not know all this, but when I talk to people, it is not wrong to say one thing. Our schools are rated 10 out of 10 in GreatSchools.org. That is an important thing. Finally, I would like to say that we have the opportunity to talk about this today, but we may get another opportunity next month. When it comes to references, it takes more time for us to review the quality of a new schedule. So, I have something to say. For example, if there are three finalist candidates, it is better to talk to as many people as possible. I know that you have talked about a few people. In my opinion, it would be great if your people had the opportunity to talk to three people. I think it will give a more clear picture of the candidates. Since they are names given by themselves, they will not have any difficulty in it. Therefore, we do not want to scare anyone. Then another thing. In our closed session in October, we could ask you some questions that you wanted to ask. That is, the reason why I am asking this is not because this person has worked today. I am researching questions that help me understand more about them as an employee. Therefore, I am definitely interested in seeing a glimpse of those questions. Therefore, thank you. Mayor, I don't know if it would be a good idea for me to respond to this or not, but you can wait until the end. I will try to make sure that everything is in order. I am sure that I will add something in the brochure. I think there is plenty of room to write about the best medical facilities. I think that's important. Then the advice about the best schools. That will definitely be in the brochure. But I will keep that in mind. I will conduct a survey at greatschools.org. When I move forward with the employees, I will make sure that I can speak in more detail. The length of the golf course and the beach is the same photo. I would like you to pay attention to one more thing. We often publish local pictures in our brochures, because people come to a city or county not only to see that city or county. They are also interested in knowing what is happening in the region. Therefore, even if there is not much in this brochure, we often show other interesting local things like a beach in Monterey or a Monterey Aquarium. We have tried to stay very local, but I don't think that showing something in a brochure in the near future will be a bad idea or a bad advertisement. Now, if we are talking about the system, I will use the opinion on what comes after the opinion on conservation. If the council does not oppose that change, I will implement it. Therefore, it will only focus on protection. In terms of references, it will rely on common sense, but I will try my best to complete three within a certain time. Of course, if we move forward, we will be able to handle it. If we only have employees below us, it will certainly be helpful. Yes, but I am sure it will be a topic of discussion. I will include it in my notes. So, when we reach there with the latest developments, I will try not to forget it. Then the questions list. When we make a shortlist, we will be checking the questions. But if you are interested in anything, we can make it clear again what a shortlist is, complete the recruitment process, check the positions, make a shortlist, and we will submit it to you. In the two-hour survey about the positions submitted by Shubharsh, We will change a few parts of the questions at that time, but we will send you the materials in advance so that you can check it out. It is always a little difficult for five people to ask questions, but we will find a way to do that and make a way for everyone in the shortlist meeting to work together. Okay. Okay. Okay. Bob, do you want to start?

29:13 – 31:03Speaker 3

Yes, my co-workers did not say much about what they said. Wendy, great job. You made the right decision. Thank you. Thank you, Marisa, for helping us find Wendy and making the right decision. I think our society belongs to you. Thank you for accepting this personally. This is a very important thing for us. I will talk about this idea about protection along with historical protection. When I talk to Sindhi, I feel that protection needs protection sometimes. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection is the nature. Protection I think that the features we introduced in this room last year, i.e. the unique audio-visual facilities, have made this place more useful and helped to maintain it for a long time. I think the library is a great example of this. Even if we don't see the changes we made there, they were very useful, otherwise that building would have taken more time. Therefore, I feel that our living beings have not brought great innovations historically. We can still carry out a lot of innovations. The political system is changing, not only the political system. It is a desire, but things are moving forward. It is necessary for a living being's association to move forward with new ideas without standing alone. That's why I don't have much to add to this, but I like the word innovation. That is... Thank you.

31:06Speaker 2

Thank you, Jeff.

31:10 – 32:08Speaker 3

Thank you, Wendy. I think this is better than what we've done before. It's a big part of the community. That's why I thank you for making yoga work and for managing it well. In fact, I saw it on YouTube while it was happening. So, okay. I was attracted to your criticism and everyone's opinions. Thanks for the changes in the photos. I really appreciate it. I agree with that. I am a bit of a pessimist, so I agree with Bob's opinion that the word innovation should be maintained. I don't think it's a big deal to say that we need someone who can think ahead of the people who are standing here. So, thank you. LeguLega would be great. Okay. I doubt if innovation is the right word. But Jeff used my word. That is, forward thinking. Both of them mean the same thing.

32:21 – 33:05Speaker 2

Just as other cities are doing to increase productivity, I agree with Bob's opinion that we should also act with determination in the hands of the people. I agree with most of the things everyone said. They were excellent opinions. I don't have anything in particular to add. The rest of the suggestions about health care and schools are excellent. He said that he is the one with children in school. That's why he knows that schools are good. He has said it clearly. I think this is a very important thing because the person we choose will have at least one child. That's why it will be a good addition. Are you doing it directly? Do you have to show it to us now or how do you do it? Do you want us to accept this with these changes? Yes, that's all I need. Okay, okay. Um, okay.

33:17Speaker 1

If there is nothing else to discuss, I think we are ready to resolve this with the two changes in the Legulega. Can anyone give this instruction?

33:27Speaker 3

Certainly. I will give permission to this Legulega with the small changes that have been given to it, and tomorrow the legal proceedings will begin.

33:40 – 34:03Speaker 2

I will send it. Okay, I received a message and a message for it. Is there anything else to discuss? Let me tell you something quickly. When Wendy is here, our next meeting with you is on the 16th, Friday, the shortlist meeting. Isn't it? Yes, let me take a look. Yes, actually, let me take a look. The shortlist is actually on October 27th.

34:07 – 34:28Speaker 1

I would like to pass on this suggestion and this proposal. Then, Wendy, can you give us some time? It is important for us and the public to understand what is going to happen. Because things are happening very quickly. So, let's vote. And then we can move on to Hans' questions. Yes. Yes.

34:28Speaker 3

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

34:51 – 35:25Speaker 4

Okay, so we are trying to start recruitment today itself. It would have been better if we could start it by the end of today. Otherwise, it will start tomorrow. We will end recruitment around the 12th. Then we will assign shortlisted employees on October 27. It will last for two hours. I think we have mentioned it in your calendar. So it will be added to your calendar now. Um, let me tell you something in between. It's a face-to-face meeting.

35:25 – 36:43Speaker 2

I will come face-to-face for that. Yes, it will be a closed session. Good. Yes, I will bring hard copy binders. Then, it's usually two days before the 27th. Let me check how it is in my calendar. The 27th is a Wednesday. Therefore, we will try to provide you with an electronic version of it by the 23rd. In the worst case scenario, you will get an electronic version by the 26th. If there are a lot of visitors on the last day, it will be a little difficult for me to complete it before screening them on Zoom. That's why we are aiming for the 23rd. If it is late, I can let you know in advance. But on the 23rd, you will get a Dropbox link. There will be all the details in the Hardcopy binder. So you can read the materials in advance. Next, I bring the binders to the closed session. So you will also get hard copies. If you want hard copies early, we can do that too. But... On the other hand, you have to add it as a line from the 10th to the 23rd to the 26th. Okay.

36:45 – 38:09Speaker 2

Yes. We have the materials. Okay, we can do that. Then, if the council is talking about Peter's question, is that the only opportunity to see me? Yes, but you can call me or email me if you want. That will never be the end of me. We will send you feedback updates. We will tell you how many people applied. Let's assume that about 100 people applied. We can say that 6 of them applied for secondary jobs. That is, 20 people applied for secondary jobs, and 20 people are eligible. Another 25 people are eligible for a minor job, and 10 people are eligible for your ideal positions. It's just a paper screening, so I can clearly see how much they respond to your needs only when the Zoom screening is conducted. It's a special method. We are now using it to identify your ideal candidate. It came up in the community meeting. It's one of the things we use here. I think everyone likes it. So it would be my job to show how much those candidates fit into your ideal candidate profile in the shortlist meeting. Yes, what kind of information has been obtained by the public about how things are going in this period of 27 minutes after 10 o'clock?

38:24Speaker 3

Have they received anything? They haven't received anything.

38:26Speaker 2

Okay, so I want them to be ready. For example, we don't have to send emails. I haven't been able to hear anything. Because they don't know anything until which date.

38:36 – 39:04Speaker 4

Um, that is, if you don't want to be a little more comfortable, we can do that. Certainly, I will be able to provide details for your regular meetings by the 27th. How many people did we invite to the regular meeting in November? Are we moving forward as employees? How many people did we invite? If that is important to you, we can definitely share it as part of the agenda. Let's look at the rest of the things together.

39:04Speaker 1

After that, let's have a discussion and see what the group's opinion is. Okay. Yes.

39:11 – 40:45Speaker 2

So, from now on, all the details such as who requested everything will be secret. We will keep it secret throughout the process. So, we talked about the references. But our first appearance will be on November 6th and the second appearance will be on November 16th. The first part will be online and the second part will be live. We will try to complete 3 references for each employee in 6 to 16 stages. Usually, we need 6. So, we will complete it as the last employee going forward. We will offer them. We will complete these references at the end of the process. But the council wanted to complete some references between the first and second elections. That is why 6 and 16 laws have been passed. The next legal examination and reference examinations will also be completed. That is why we have not conducted a legal examination so far. That is, criminal-civil examination, the confirmation that they are actually guilty, and the examination of employment and education will all be included in it. Then, we will carry out the remaining reference surveys and discussions. We will move forward with that. We will have a temporary meeting to conduct substantive discussions in that group. Review the records and approve the arrangements. A final council meeting will be held on December 8. The session closed for the first review of the records and then the decision-making will take place. After that, we will announce your position and details of this project in detail.

40:48 – 41:11Speaker 3

Mayor, I have a question to ask Wendy. Go ahead. Thank you. Wendy, thank you for what you said. I have a small question about the day when the protests were held. I would like to know your opinions and opinions on that. Is this to be held at the CET Hall, or is it to be held in a place like Sunset Summer with three seats? They can avoid coming to the CET Hall, right? What do you think about that?

41:16 – 42:31Speaker 4

Yes, I don't think your board area is suitable for the atmosphere. It won't be very comfortable if you keep it in the board chamber, but it's possible. CET managers are so familiar with the atmosphere. However, it would have been better to get a conference room. I don't know much about the conference rooms in the CET hall. I don't think it's bad to keep people in the CET hall when people come and go because of their secretive nature. But if you are interested in walking in a place like a sunset, that can be done. That's up to you. The place should be peaceful and attractive. If someone is interested in working here, this should be a different process. Usually, I talk to people in a small group about what those days will be like. It is good to invite someone from your staff to show the location. That would be one thing we can promise. Usually, your new public works director or police chief will do it. This will allow your team to move a little closer to each other. So... Do you have any other questions? Yes, I have a small comment to make.

42:31 – 42:58Speaker 2

And if you need a suitable place, there is a room in the basement where we had meetings with CET Adornia. I am looking for Marisa. There is a basement room in the basement of the Sunset Center. That is, a very convenient place like you are exploring. I don't remember if it's a green room. Marisa, have you ever been there? Not at all. I don't know what that means.

42:58 – 43:17Speaker 3

But a very convenient place like you described is under the Sunset Center. I will ask Marisi to arrange it. She can arrange it with you. It is a very professional and convenient place. Okay. Do you have any other questions?

43:17Speaker 2

Since Cindy is here, I will let Cindy ask anything about the schedule. Cindy, do you have any questions? Or do you have any opinions?

43:35Speaker 3

Thank you for asking me if I have any questions. I don't have any practical questions. Um, but when I come here, why do I forget everything? Um. Don't worry.

43:42Speaker 2

Just tell me the truth. Oh, that's about the current election process.

43:49 – 44:11Speaker 3

The public is also involved in this. It will be very good. They don't have to come and give feedback. Instead, let us know what you are doing, when, where. If so, they will have the opportunity to send emails or give feedback. Don't stop them from sending emails.

44:11Speaker 2

Also, Bob, thank you very much for making this information clear.

44:16 – 45:25Speaker 3

When you said that, I understood it more clearly. So, thank you. Okay. Other than that, you don't have a problem with the schedule, right? Oh, there's one more thing to say. Wendy, in the photo of that tree with a small shutter, is one of the most disgusting things you've ever seen. Yes, let me get into the conversation of Cindy Lloyd. I really liked that photo. In other words, I think it's a photo of a tree. I don't know if you know. It's a photo of a road marker. But we call that yellow plant oxalis. It's a bad plant. This is the fastest rolling art here. I thought a lot about whether to change the photo or not, but it seemed to be a little difficult. Oh yes, I know, I know. I can move back and forth. Because it is seen everywhere in the springtime. It is called Oxalis. This is called Bermuda Buttercup. This is in South Africa. Anyway, you will see this even if you don't like it. Thank you.

45:31Speaker 2

This is a small protest, but this used to be one of the things that people liked to buy from our local shops. I'm saying this with respect. If you want to edit that, you can do it.

45:45Speaker 2

We talked about how to give information to the public without revealing the secret information. Do you have any opinion about that? Yes, I certainly follow that. I agree with what Cindy said. It would be good to let the public know in which category we are.

45:54 – 46:14Speaker 3

Only the general things will let them know what is happening and how we are moving forward. They will understand that we are doing our job properly. Shetty, do you have any other opinions about that? Will you be able to send us a link when this is live? Of course. Yes.

46:15Speaker 1

Can we make sure that the schedule is not in the pocket? I can make sure.

46:20 – 46:38Speaker 2

Okay. Because I think we are ending the agenda. Okay. If we haven't voted on the schedule, should we vote for it or not? You can raise your hand. I think so. But we haven't made any changes today.

46:38Speaker 3

You haven't made any changes.

46:40 – 51:19Speaker 2

Okay. So the schedule is still fine. You are happy. Okay. Good. Do you have any opinions about this or anything else? Because I think today's feedback session was that. For my last question, I know that all employees have the same desire to ask the same question. In our finalist interviews, we conducted a nationwide survey for the Housing Authority Executive Director. We felt that lunch was a good idea. Not all employees can come for lunch. It may be a problem, but do you do anything that allows people to get to know each other in a slightly more unemployed environment? Yes, we do a lot of different things. So, yes, this may be a normal life experience or a little more useless conversations. Often, if we have done this with a council or a chosen body, it is after the elections, because we needed more support. So it was like a virtual coffee, but I'm thinking about the time. From your day, a little more time will have to be spent on this. On Monday, on the 16th, we have reserved your calendar for 8 a.m. to 3 a.m. We can do is to start the celebrations a little late and have a coffee meet and greet. That is, we have a few things to do in the morning. We can call it a coffee or brunch meet and greet. We can spend half an hour in a more peaceful atmosphere with each employee there. Or we can go back. Do this at the end of the day. That is, we can first do the errands. Then we can stop at the end of the day for half an hour. But I'm actually trying to bring it to the office itself. This is not happening in a coffee house. So this is a little more useless. But on the second day of Abhimagal, you will have the usual questions that we would like to know more about these three clouds. These are usually three or four clouds, so we did not get the opportunity to ask all of them on the first day. So, in some clouds, we will ask all the employees in less detail. For the things that come up from the first day, we will ask them the questions that are specially prepared for them. Therefore, the first two questions I am going to ask you in the first round are, what do you really like about the employees, and what doubts or doubts do you have about them? If those employees move forward, the second question will help me to prepare some questions that will help me to solve those doubts or doubts. Therefore, you will have some questions for each employee and some questions prepared based on their first round of applications. After that, we will give it to the employees and we will ask them what they have to ask us. The reason is really about us on the first day. This can be turned into a one-sided way. We can get some time to ask them questions, but if you give the first half of the program to you and the second half to the employee, when the employee starts asking you questions, I think there will be a lot of friendly conversations. That's why I'm trying to create images in real faces. That's why you can assume that it's satisfying for you. But I don't want it to be a complete and planned face. I believe that a positive conversation will do you a lot of good. I hope that the jokes and other things there will come out through that conversation. That's what I'm trying to create. I'll remind you of that. If there is anything else that you would like to think about when we return with the shortlist, you can send me your wishes. I can make it happen. Also, if it is different from what I discussed, we can talk about how to shape those days in the shortlist meeting. Yes, I think we don't have to do it now. We have one option. Yes, because they won't get a chance until the shortlist comes. Isn't it? So, yes, I think we can come back. We can all think about coming back after thinking about it for a few weeks. So, Okay. Okay, thank you. Anyone else? Okay. Wendy, I want to thank you. You have received a lot of compliments today.

51:19 – 51:31Speaker 2

You did a good job. That was amazing. Working with you, your staff, and your community was amazing. So, thank you too. I am waiting to see your update process for your staff and good luck in the future. Because it was one of the things we liked in the first demonstration. Okay. We will see.

51:38Speaker 3

Then thank you.

51:38Speaker 1

I would like to thank our staff, Marisak, and everyone else who contributed to this. They did a great job. We are moving forward.

51:43 – 52:20Speaker 2

I would like to thank the people who contributed to this. It may be a little late than they wanted, but they had a lot of opportunities. I think it was a good combination of what we were doing. I would like to express my gratitude to the council for the incredible response to this project. We have a lot of work ahead of us. I know that we will complete it in the best possible way. We will find the right administrator for this city, because we need it. I assure you that it will happen before the end of this year. Thank you to everyone who attended this session. We will let you know as soon as we continue with the proceedings. Thank you. Thank you. This session ends here.
