“Thank you. Before we go into our invocation, I'd like to ask for a moment of silence. We are having a moment of silence for a family in our community that has lost loved ones.

It is also a reminder of the importance of supporting one another, checking in on loved ones, and ensuring that those facing challenges know that help is available and we are a community that…”

“No, none. All right. I'm going to go ahead and pull 6K. And I am actually deferring 9A. I have been having conversations with... the manager's office and finance, and I've been asked to have this discussion during budget. It would be most appropriate with a full presentation, so we're going to do that. So I'm deferring indefinitely, and it'll come back in some shape with the budget as a discussion. Motion. No motion right now. We don't need one. Nothing else has been done. Great. If there's nothing else to be pulled, we'll go into public comments. Everyone's good? OK, we will now open the…”

“Because we had this discussion. What's been noticed is that there's been a little bit of an excessive request, because we're one of the only places that doesn't charge other governments.”

“So what we have talked about doing is potentially allowing once a year for free. And then after that, they'll have to pay to be able to utilize unless they're doing something directly with the city. Some of our agreements have MOUs or MOJs. And so in those cases, then the agreement will stipulate whether the space can be utilized within that agreement. But we have to create the revenue. So there has been an excessive amount of, requests for here because we're the only one of the only cities to have a newest facilities and free facility for other government agencies so we're working on…”

“All right, thank you very much, colleagues. Over the past several months, we've heard directly from residents across our community who feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and in some cases financially harmed by issues related to their homeowners and condominium associations. These concerns are real, and they are impacting not only quality of life, but also affordability for many of our families in the city. At the same time, it is our responsibility as policymakers and stewards of public trust to be clear and honest about what we can and what we cannot do as a city council. As outlined in the…”

“And just I want to add, so how many years have you and I been talking about doing this and working on this together for like five, six years now? Yes. When I was mentioning at the last meeting there was an idea to bring forward an advisory board, it really is not solving an issue that we will continue to see. So I think this does truly at least provide some additional relief to residents that don't seem to find a place to find relief because there's no there's no mechanism for it at the state level or locally. So this truly will provide some ability to find where fraud can exist. Again, I'm…”
