“That's right, it's conversations. We can converse. I want to say it has been an eventful and fun nine months being on council, and we had a wonderful off-site back in March. One thing that didn't happen in that off-site was that we didn't have discussion about how we will work together as a new body. So what I was wondering and thinking is, is it possible that we could have a facilitated half-day off-site to talk about how we work together, just so that we are forming, norming, and storming together so that we will be bigger, badder, and stronger as a group? So just wanted to throw that out…”

“And just to note, I know that we are in the busy season. We're trying to compress everything before the holiday season. So sometime after that, I wouldn't expect anything more.”

“Okay. One other question, Councilmember Dodd. What are you trying to get out of this? What's the end game?”

“One last piece, and then... Is that... I get that. I understand that. keeping all personal feelings aside, is that the place for a council to do that?”

“I think this will be my last statement. I mean, if we're having a conversation about having a conversation, that's one conversation. I do have some concern about us moving forward. And maybe that's the conversation that we have during the conversation. But I do have some concern about us taking a position on this.”

“Oh, thank you. I didn't realize that I had turned it on. I want to say thank you for this. This is near and dear to my heart. I was speaking with the chief, I think it was last week, about having almost three accidents on 120th in about a 15-minute drive time. And I feel like sometimes the speed limit is a suggestion for some folks. And I'm not saying that I'm not a person that takes a suggestion every now and then, but I try to drive the speed limit. It's good to hear that people are driving the speed limit. And I did hear the fact that we can't add cushions everywhere, which totally makes…”

“Just to tag on to the PSA, which I think is great and it's necessary, do you talk to the kids at the driver's school, the driver's eds at all? Do they bring you in at all?”

“Yeah. Those are the worst parking lots in the world. I've been rear-ended many times, and people are like, you know what? This never happened. We're not reporting this. But it is pretty bad. I did have one sort of one-off question. Since we've seen a decrease in ticketing and infractions, have we seen a decrease in accidents happening or fatalities in any way?”

“just want to say I'm also interested in that as well and I had reached out to you after that after that comment with the same request I am also interested I also want to know how much because that is important and partnership is very big um there is one thing also and I wanted to know more about, I've been doing a lot of reading during our break about, what are they called, data centers. And I would love to get a perspective from staff about data centers and how they work and what our peer cities are doing and what should we be doing and how we should be thinking about it ethically, morally,…”

“We fit it in where it fits in. We have a lot of other things that are going on that I know that are high priority, but if something could be scheduled or looked at by end of year, that's fine. If not early next year, it's fine.”
