“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I tend to agree with Councilwoman Nash, the first part of her assessment, that the state, I think a lot of things will get cleared up. I agree on putting everything categorizing them in a size. But when it comes to particular ordinances, I just really think that we should wait to see what comes out of Austin before we do that. I think we have... we have you know we have people on the ground in austin that that is that is monitoring this daily i think we get something from our our lobbies literally every day on on this issue uh and i i really would like to take our…”

“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And I appreciate the discussion from my colleagues. It's a serious subject. And, you know, it's like when you're watching TV and you see the tornado and you know it's coming and, you know, we've got to prepare, right? So I think we're preparing. And I think and I hope that If the motion approves, there's some questions that need to be answered. And we talked about water usage. I don't know what an accepted water usage is for a data center. And I don't know if we can put that in ordinance. I don't know what acceptable is. I don't know what acceptable power consumption is.…”

If we have the meeting at 2 o'clock, then we can make National Night Out at 5. without disrupting everybody's already scheduled off days, because I had time off on the...

“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you to everyone that had comments this evening. And I did not get the name of the speaker. But in reference to, I heard a quote saying that we are going to shut down friends in crisis. I would say to that speaker and to the audience, we are not shutting down friends in crisis. What we're doing is that some business decisions were being made that we found out about last week, and now we have to come up with a solution. So don't think that we didn't give money and then, in fact, they have to shut down. Our decisions were based, at least mine were, on the information…”

“Thank you. I tried to speak before the motion, and now we have a motion on the floor. I guess I'm speaking on the motion. Is that what we're doing now? We're discussing on the motion. Yes, sir.

“Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thanks for clearing all this up. So I guess we're still speaking on the motion where there's no vote. Thanks for the clarification. Chief, thanks for the explanation. You pretty much said I was going to say it because that's not what we, you and I have done. And that's I don't think that's not our. That's not what we do. So thank you for clearing that up. That's all I have to say. When we get back to the discussion, because we seem to be all over the place. We had a motion. We should have been speaking on the motion. Then we could get back to the discussion. So I just…”

“Okay. I can support that. Yes, sir. What I can't support is earmarking any additional funds for a single organization because we're going to just find ourselves back into where we're at right now. The only thing that we got was this document that was handed to us about an hour ago, and I just can't work off of that. So if we're going to fund them between now and the end end of the year, I'm 100% behind that. What I will get behind is any organization that comes up after the end of the year with a plan that we all can get behind, that makes sense so we don't find ourselves in the same…”
