“Right. Well, again, this has nothing to do with you, but when RMA purchased this property and they were under contract with the city They didn't purchase it for a million, but they're doubling what they purchased for it.”

“Until everything around it is somewhat building up. Was assembled, right. And they can sell it and make more money for it, that's what they do, and that is my concern, so. I am not happy with this one, but thank you, Mayor.”

“Yeah, so I was looking for the date, and I want this to make it very clear and to go on record by saying this is the property and the reason that RMA resigned or I should say Kim Briesmeister and Chris Brown resigned because of this property. At the time, Kim Briesmeister was executive director of the CRA for the city. And because she purchased this property while she was under contract, She resigned and she was supposed to be really redeveloping that whole area This is what this is about and like I said, it has nothing to do with you But I've been waiting to see how long it was gonna take…”

“Yes, just for the record again, this is the second location that RMA Kim Briesmeister and Chris Brown purchased during the time they were under contract with the city to redevelop that area. And I just wanted to make sure that's for the record. Thank you.”

“THANK YOU, MAYOR. FROM A DIFFERENT NOTE, BEFORE WE GO TO THE NORTHWEST, I FEEL THE FRUSTRATION SITTING ON THIS DIAS WHEN A MISSIONER NEXT TO ME GOES ON AND ON AND ON AND ON. I ALSO HEAR HER ASKING FOR ANSWERS. And you really shouldn't be upset with her. You should be upset with the city manager because he's the one that's not communicating and allowing his staff to do the same thing. We are the way we're up here doing what we do because of the city manager. When did he leave? He didn't tell us. You're just sitting in his chair. He does that all the time. He just left. He's never at work. He…”

“Oh, I sent you that a year ago. Remember, we voted on that. That's what staff does because they have the permission of the city manager to do so. And then everybody wants to know, why is it 3-3? That's why. If you communicate with everybody, this commissioner sitting next to me is just asking questions. So somebody is sitting home going, let me find a little something that she's saying wrong. Oh, she used that wrong word. I'm coming back at the next meeting and come back at her. That's what we do. Just heard Claudia. Claudia said, I was listening from home and you said this and you said that…”

“So you don't want to hear all this stuff going on up here simply because Smith, Eden, and Rex already know the answers. You know, they don't have to sit up here and ask a lot of questions. They already know. And if they don't, they can just pick up the phone or email and they got it, snap of a finger. It's not that easy for the three of us. Thank you, Mayor.”

“What I just said, I was speaking from my experience. I really don't care whether you disagree or not, because my experience is not right or wrong. It's how I was treated. and the way things really are from the way I see it, you're gonna see it totally different. That's why you disagree. You have all the information, I get that. So go ahead and disagree.”

“I just wanted you to know, I'm not speaking in terms of trying to belittle or down anyone. I'm saying the biggest problem in this city is our city manager and communication.”

“We can't continue without communicating. That's all I'm saying. Now, you can speak if you want for the city manager, but he should be sitting over in that chair to speak for himself, and he's not there.”

“I think what he needs to know is I think the majority of us voted against the security because basically the security was pretty much protecting, moderating the buildings that CRA owned or leasing out. That was it. So we didn't see the benefit or the effect of them really securing the community. And I think that was the reasoning of why.”
