Village Commission - Special Meeting

Anyone know if Commissioner Ansler is coming through? No? Yeah, please. Nope. Is that her? I didn't want to get started if she was on her way.

9 o'clock, right? Are they playing? Doesn't matter. Some days they'll start earlier. I think just yesterday they started at noon. Yeah, and then that night, there's like a late game that starts at midnight. It's all, yeah, it's like West Coast. Right, exactly. It's 9 o'clock there at times. Answer? Is there someone else on Zoom? Okay. All right. Good evening, everyone. It's 6.04. We are here for our special commission meeting today, Tuesday, June 16, 2026. And we will call the meeting to order. Madam Clerk, would you please call the roll?

Thank you, Madam Clerk. Can we do the Pledge of Allegiance, please?

All right, so let's go ahead and move on to our public comment. We'll start with folks here in the log cabin, then we'll move on to Zoom. There we go.

Okay, thanks very much. Do we have anyone on Zoom?

Say I seen a head shaking. No. Okay. All right. Well, I appreciate folks here providing public comment. Thank you. And I completely lost my agenda. Here we go. All right. So is there any commission reply to public comment?

I do want to address, obviously, what we've heard very quickly, but also I do want to take care of the business that we have on the resolutions. The resolution that we have before us for this evening's agenda, John, would you please read it for us?

Okay, thanks, John. Do I have a motion and a second to discuss?

Second. Okay, great. So I understand that we are talking about amending the resolution for the July date simply because there's going to be two of us that are traveling at that time. So I know we were set for the 7th. If we were to look at... I'm coming back to 10th. But I can be there on zoom for the night.

Yeah, we're looking at so nine is Thursday. 10 is Friday.

Both of those. Okay. Al, by any chance, do we have any understanding of whether Commissioner Amsler has availability on that, like those dates? I'm going back. Okay. Well, I'm, you know, I'm remiss to reset it without knowing when she's here, but this is really our, probably our only opportunity to do it. How is, I'm not available on the 8th, and I'm going to be flying back on the 10th. I just don't know what time yet. Okay. And I can be here on Zoom on the 9th. So are we all right? I'm sorry? Should we say that again? I'm sorry.

whatever you whatever works for you guys i don't i'm open the rest of the month what about the following tuesday the 14th 14th is a monday yeah planning and design on the 13th it's monday planning and design on on the 13th that monday yeah well then let's just we can go with the ninth And if anything changes from here between now and the 9th, I guess we can reset. We'll have to call again. But we have three. We have quorum. And hopefully, presumably, Commissioner Hamzah will be available, too, on that date. John, sorry. Apologies. Wait. You're going to postpone your vacation?

I mean, I don't want to take that away from you, John. Do you have someone that can sit here in your SPAD? Sure. I understand. I'm just trying not to inconvenience you because we're moving this around a little bit, John.

So I'm not advocating for this, but I will point out that it says in our charter, we're allowed to not have a July meeting and take a vacation. Just saying, just. So everyone, I'm not advocating for this. It's just a lesson of our charter. It's in there that the crafters of our charter even thought this could be a problem.

Understood. Well, we'll keep it on, I think, for now so we can address anything that might be time sensitive at that time. All right, so it sounds like we're good with the ninth.

Well, very good. Well, that handles the resolution. You know, I'm sure everyone has seen over the last couple of days, there's been a lot of attention drawn to, and we've heard this evening here about the item with freebie. You know, Art, I know you didn't have the benefit of being with us when we discussed it. You know, it was my intention to ask the commission this evening if there's a desire to, what's the motion, John?

And just to be clear from a procedural perspective, John, we wouldn't be able to take that action here this evening because it's not on the agenda and it's a special meeting agenda is that correct robert's rules of order uh specifically provides that um

that uh commissioner hams was not here uh we don't know if uh you know if she's going to make the special meeting and then we're back to a two with two two people um so point but i think the i think the the answer to that is that in setting a special agenda meeting uh the manager or the clerk is allowed to pull commissioners via email to get a date for which that person would each of us is available okay good We don't all have to agree on the date right now. We can say, hey, let's hold a one-item special agenda on this issue, or you'll have the benefit of being with us to discuss it, and we ca

What's the noticing requirement for this special meeting? Is it 24 hours, or is it 24 hours?

Look, we have two weeks before the end of June, so I think there's

That would be my ultimate concern is if you even have any, if this passes, any inclination of staff trying to resurrect this. I'm sure they've already had conversations with the state, the county. Sure. Time is of the essence, and I wouldn't expect to pass this on June 30th and then see...

No, I don't. Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest June 30th as the date.

I would select a date if you're calling this special meeting and go from there. I'm not going to support it because I did not extend that meeting. I voted no to extend that meeting. I understand. And so did Commissioner Gonzalez. I'm not going to support a special call meeting because I didn't support continuing the meeting that we had. So the votes are the votes. If you would like to call on Mr. Mayor, you're more than within your rights to, and we could pick a date that we're all available, but time is of the essence for administration.

I understand. I understand and appreciate it, Ryan. Look, so understanding, sorry, Dan, you have anything you wanted to add?

I know we got some of the data from Paul, too, on that, I think, right? From the finance? On the numbers? I think Paul had supported something. Did Paul prepare anything, or am I completely misremembering? Maybe I'm misremembering. All right, so in that case, I know we have a federal holiday on the 19th. If we tentatively set it for Thursday...

Basically, yes. If you want facts and figures, you have to ask for them.

I'm fine with whatever's convenient for everyone here because I've done ample research on this topic. I have my facts and figures, so I'll have to be here until your vacation. I'm ready to go.

So then why don't we do this? I want to give us enough time to go back to the state. Why don't we tentatively set it for Thursday? And if we have an issue, if Commissioner Amsler is unavailable, we can look at early next week, but I really don't want to push it past. I really don't want to go past Tuesday, Wednesday of next week because every day, new weight is every day. It's another day towards expiration, I guess. So are we comfortable setting it tentatively for Thursday night?

okay so then at this point we'll yes thank you so we'll have the special meeting we're tentatively set for Thursday if there's any issues that come up or if we need to reschedule I know you can call us to reset for early next week if we have to but for right now tentatively we'll look at Thursday night okay all right Well, very good. Well, then we'll plan on being back on Thursday. And that covers all of our work here for this evening. So I'll ask for a motion to adjourn. Motion to adjourn.
