“Okay, with that, we'll go ahead and close out public comment for item 6A. Just for... Council's understanding. So I will be going. I'm good as an alternative. You're welcome to join as well. My only concern is that I have a 6, excuse me, a 2 p.m. flight. And sometimes these resolutions, they begin around noon. Sometimes they run late. If they were to run late, I would ask if is staff available to jump in if I happen to become unavailable.”

“Yes. Thank you. Was there any council opposition to the policies that I briefly discussed with staff earlier? Okay, so with that, I would move by motion to authorize whichever appointed delegate to vote under the conditions of supporting local control, opposing unfunded mandates, and opposing anything in which the state legislature is excluded from the authority of local governments. Second. We have a first and a second. Roll call, please.”

“Okay. So with that, kind of similar to what Council Member Bedoya was stating, I would be comfortable with attaching it to something. I think it would be fair to attach it to COLA. So I will go with the consensus as well, but I would be supporting attaching it to a cumulative inflation basis. Any additional comment?”
