“Just a couple of things. You're doing a great job. Thank you, sir. It takes a lot to be up here, and the fact that you are answering these hard questions is very admirable of you.”

“Another thing, when you talked about losing an officer, an officer costs about $100,000 to replace. Yes, sir. You also lose a body for six months while that officer's in police academy. That's correct, sir. Field training. That's correct. You got six months. You're paying this guy. It's not of a value to the public. That's absolutely correct, sir. He's still learning how to find his way around town.”

“Secondly, I just want to clear up for the public, and we probably have a little bit different view on this, but you listed all these agencies that have incentives, but Caldwell did not. That's correct, sir. Caldwell has longevity. Caldwell has certification pay. And I'm sure there's after-hours incentives and things like that that we haven't met, but we do have some incentives. Am I correct?”

“I just wanted to ask Commissioner Holton something real quick. Just for the public's edification, we've had the conversation. Would you kind of discuss the phasing, how big a jail you're starting with and what your plan is start to finish on the phasing of the jail, please? Okay.”

“Um, I agree with counselor Dittenberg. I, I realize we're playing with words here, but I really feel like this, first of all, just as counselor Stotic said, this is the first time I've seen this, um, five minutes ago when it was handed to me. But in this brief time that I've had to digest it, I feel like the documents watered down and watered down on purpose. And, uh,”

“And in every single presentation that he has made, he has been very clear that there's no force upon anybody to do anything. This is just a plan. I don't think anywhere at any time, the public has been told that they're going to be forced to do anything. And I believe every member of this council would also agree that nobody has any intention of forcing anything. And as, as Morgan said, any project, just like any other project that comes in the city, If we spend over $50,000, it has to come before this council. And so the idea that we're somehow being less than truthful with the public is…”

“Well, no, but what I'm saying is Roger has been clear in every single presentation that there's no force of anybody, and nobody disagrees with him. We all agree that there's no force of any kind being put on anybody. Nobody's spending a dime. Nobody is taking anybody's property or requiring them to do anything. That's not the intention of this document.”

“Thank you. Can I ask you to go the other way again to your elevation of the business? You had a business elevation there. So if I'm understanding this right, that is inward facing to the project?”

“That would be facing the street frontage. Okay, that's. And that was my question is as you're driving down, you stick or 10th, what are you seeing? And so this is what you would see from the roadway and that that's, I wanted to make sure the, the site, the side that the public was seeing driving by on the roads, wasn't a blank wall kind of thing.”

“Mr. Mayor. Councilor Allgood. First of all, I want to start off by saying I really appreciate all the work that's gone into this, both the people that live there, the developer. This has been probably one of the most difficult ones I've seen in this situation, but My opinion is that this is a quality neighborhood, and I appreciate the plan that's in place. And based on that, based upon Colwell City Code comprehensive plan and upon testimony, evidence, and record, facts presented, and applicable City Code approval criteria, I move that the proposed rezone from C2 to R2 be approved to include…”
