“Yeah, so I'll say a couple things. One is I noted the city attorney said BMO, Miller-Olive, said potentially. They didn't give an opinion that it did. They said potentially. They saw the argument.”

“So it's not even their opinion yet. And all I would say is I hope we're careful here. We've got, you know... We'll verify whether they are voters or not, but we've been presented with 10,000 signatures of our voters on a petition saying they would like something done, and I hope we respect that. That's a very strong statement, they would like it considered. So to get ahead of it, Oh, well, it might. I think first we need to verify the signatures and send it over there and do that. I would tell you that, you know, the last time our amazing city clerk did this and her team, it was significant…”

“Yeah, essentially, because it's going to be cheaper for us to do that than it is for us to do it ourselves. I mean, I don't think probably, you know, care to pant themselves, but I do.

So I think the clerk's office welcomes the help. And so in light of that, I…”

“I don't, I mean, I put one of them. Ask them to pay $1,000, I think that that's fine. I don't object to that. If that's the consensus, that's not, I think they'd probably do that. But so on that part, on the Attorney General's opinion, I just think it's premature and it's not binding. I would prefer, if we got to that point, that certainly Um, church of Scientology, you know, it's their property and they've, um, it's their street vacation that they've requested. So I would prefer if we need a legal resolution to it, that they'd be the ones to initiate it. Um, I think that's, it's their, we…”

“And I'm not saying any of the five of us shouldn't, or more than one of us. But to do it collectively, I would not support that. But if certainly one or two or three... Want to write a letter requesting that just as before? You're entitled to do that.”
