“Mayor, can we go through your points that you wanted to talk to one by one so that we don't get confused with them?”

“Well, and if they're going to HR, they probably already had the conversation with you, Administrator Rath, and you've probably directed them or their supervisor, correct? Because it might be a supervisor to a department head who's”

“I think we're making this more complicated than it is. I think that department heads and like, so supervisors know that they need to go to their department heads if there's some action that needs to be taken. And I think department heads have the ability to understand, hey, I have to ask HR a question or I need to do this. Or if they need like guidance on, hey, I don't really know which way to go, then they would go to HR. Administrator Rath, but I think in the end, if a decision has been made either way that they're going, HR is the appropriate person. But I think we're making this overly…”

“And adding reference to performance deficiencies and other legitimate reasons under suspension definition.”

“So, okay, so for the suspension definition, the adding reference to performance deficiencies and other legitimate reasons, I think that's appropriate. I would say that we do add that.”

“Do you want me to read it again? Please. Okay. So there's not the language yet, but it says we can add language regarding the confidentiality requirement under the internal investigation process section, rather than within the definition itself. Confidentiality is not just a descriptive element of an investigation. It is a procedural obligation that applies to everyone involved, including supervisors, HR witnesses, and any support persons. If counsel approves the addition, because it governs how investigations must be conducted, it is most appropriate and effective when included within the…”

“I just have a question about this. So I know it says that the right to confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. So should a support person be in there? And, and I don't know how it works with the union too, but should a support person be in there and they run and tell someone, Hey, this is what just happened. Not that they would. I'm just, what if like that, the person that had the investigatory can't come back and say, Hey, like come back on the city or anything. Right. And”

“So I know the council received an email and then I received a couple more. So I think it's our due diligence to ask. Someone did ask and point out or inquire about maybe not making it a permanent stop because kind of like you said, it stops the flow of traffic on the weekends, but in school having a a portable stop sign. I think there was one, I don't know if on Mary there's a stop sign out there too that's moved in and out. So I received a couple comments asking about that and I know the rest of the council at least received one email regarding that and the pros, cons to that.”

“Can you walk me through the need for two? So I understand, well, I'm processing through like how we can use one, but then just help me process through the need for two.”

“so i know that there's some questions too about it but could we for now would one suffice one vehicle suffice that one vehicle would suffice uh again it's not my preference but yeah I understand that, but I'm also trying, know that there's reservations too. And so just kind of talking through it all too, understanding what that could look like with one vehicle if we have a fire inspector coming in too.”

“So I have one more question. This is probably a process question. So if the vehicle, whether it's two or one, more to like if these additions were to happen and they were the two current vehicles that you're using were to go to not daily drivers, then would it be the fleet committee that would reevaluate their replacement dates?”

“But that could be extended to a couple more years.”

“Does our insurance cover people driving their vehicle to on-scene? Like if they were to go on-scene and something happened on the way to scene?”

“Is that enough? Is that enough time realistically for you in the, um, I'll take all the time you want to give, but I'm just thinking like he, he's going to come in and, He's got a lot on his plate in the beginning. Yeah, and we want to make sure that we're all on the same page. So realistically.”

“I just have a couple things. So in relation to the goals, I know we're talking about a specific one, but Administrator Rapp did send out at that last meeting, we had asked him what he needed from us, and he did send out some correspondence regarding what he did need or recommendations on ways to... excuse me, help support them. And so in kind of, I would say parallel to this meeting with department heads, but one of his requests was establishing regular, I'm reading it from here, regular opportunities for city council members, mayor and the city administrator to meet with like with him and…”

“I would echo that. I've been doing it for five years and I still think I'm learning something new every time. So I would also say the frequency, maybe not monthly, maybe every other month too might be good. Just again, to make sure that they are beneficial meetings. That would just be my, for the department heads would be my recommendation.”
