Thank you, audience, for your patience. We were working on a closed session, and we will continue the process for that. Then we will be taking a short break. Then there will be a short f and p meeting, and then we will resume counsel. So we're delayed a little bit tonight, but that was expected.

0:44•Speaker 1

All right. I believe I'm ready to entertain a motion. Is that the next thing I need to do? Thank you. Council Member Podeski.

0:55•Speaker 2

Thank you. I make the motion that we fight the or we yeah. Fight the IRB board decision on the Campbell appeal.

1:07 – 1:41•Speaker 1

Okay. I have a motion on the floor to continue with the appeal process regarding the IRB decision. Do I have a second? I had to wait for the computer to catch up. Thank you.

1:42 – 2:18•Speaker 1

Alright. I have a motion to appeal by council member Podeski, a second by council member Newberry. Any discussion? Then I will call the vote. And that passes 10 yes, one no.

2:18 – 2:36•Speaker 1

And we had two excused people, so that is the correct number. At this time, for those of you that need a point of privilege, we will go ahead and do that. And then I believe, council member Goggin would like to take this chair so she can run the FNP meeting. So we will take five.
