11:14 – 11:32•Don Weber

Yes, Councillor Weber, just a question. Tell us a little more. You've done this interim thing 13 different times. What's kind of the interest in that for doing that? And, you know, I'm grateful for you being willing to help us, but a little more on why you've done that so many times.

12:12•Mark De Forge

Thank you, Council President Hagedorn. Mr. Schultz, what can we do to make you successful next week?

16:41 – 16:53•Mark De Forge

I move that we adopt resolution 2363 appointing Ross Schultz as the interim Pro Tem City Manager and authorizing the Council President to enter into a temporary employment agreement with Ross Schultz.

20:16 – 20:48•Mark De Forge

Council President Hagedorn, I'll go if that's okay? You are recognized. Thank you. My take on this is we've gone through an extraordinary situation here, and I really appreciate the staff that are weathering this storm, and I look forward to having Mr. Schultz help us out. And if there's anything we can do to partner together to set the city and residents up for success, I would like to do that. Thank you a lot.

23:25 – 23:45•Don Weber

Indeed. Thank you. Councillor Webber. Yes, I would just go along with what was just said. A very qualified applicant. We're obviously in a time crunch. He can start right away. I'm very grateful for his willingness to say yes. So thank you and yes to Mr. Schultz. Excellent.
