“Okay, so... Trying to get to the place that's workable if we bring the papers back on Okay, and then to your point I'm trying to get to a place as Gibson that allows us to still to bring the papers back on But still get to a place that we're compliant with that time frame if that is that that can be a meeting Tomorrow when I don't know the answer then That would be a possibility.”

“I guess I'm trying to get clarification. If we don't have the papers back on, we're going into close to do what? Because we would not be able to take advantage of the timeline. So I'm trying to, if we put the papers back on, press pause with that for a moment and either have a fuller discussion. Yes. Well, I believe we are...”

“I'm clear about that, and I am asking that we consider bringing the papers back on, which then has these items attached to them, because then there's no point. We wouldn't be able to get the papers back in front of us in a timely manner with these items attached to even take advantage of the resource. That's all I'm saying. So I'd like to ask that we at least consider bringing them back on, and then we can, whatever we're needing to do, if there's enough, do we have a window that we could then, I'm looking at you, I'm sorry, that we could then, even if there's a meeting on Wednesday, of the…”

“Okay, so let me make sure I'm hearing you correctly. If the papers are on for this evening and get reviewed and... approved, that is what you would need to be able to go forward tomorrow.”

“Okay. Since they're here and you're here and the city, could you all talk? Let's press pause here and go to the rest of the agenda, and I'll come back.”

“That's correct. And I'm asking for a vote, a motion from someone on the prevailing side to bring them back. So that at least would put them on the table, which allows us to look at the agreements and then still come back for the leases that would have these concessions that have been raised and the risks that have been raised, but as I understand it, that have been mitigated and codified. You're saying they have not been.”

“No, there's still discussion going on. That's why I was trying to clarify what it was by when, because we're talking about pushing out another date, bring them back, trying to find that opportunity to get to the when in this that we're all looking for. Okay, and I have a motion to rescind and bring this back so that we can address the agreements, dispose of those, but then have a special meeting to deal with the leases and the special and the conditions that we have raised to mitigate the risk as we understand them have been codified, the responses.”
