“Daniel? Crystal? You've been here a long time. Give me your opinion. Do you recommend this deferral?”
“Well, if it killed you, I for sure would. Because there again, you have to live for a year and then a few months. Okay. Okay, so if it doesn't quite meet 100% and when the future is unknown, I'm going to go no.”

Doug left already, didn't he? $882,253 approved in the F27 budget. So moved. Second. Did you hear that? Any discussion? We have that money, Doug.”

“Thank you, council. That was an unusual unanimous. All right, let's go.”
“First this year. Sometimes we're nice. It's a rough night for you. Everyone feeling okay? Yeah.”
“5-5. Oh, that's right. But we were going to have some discussion from legal, I understand, right, on 5-5? Yes.”

“Thank you. 5.6. Action item.

Okay. And this was partially approved in FY27 budget, remainder pending approval in FY27 budget. And as John, as usual, you got to stay. So do anybody want to make a motion or do we need to hear from you?”

It's first reading of ordinance amending Title IX, Chapter 5, Section 4 of the Nampa City Code, Hours of Operation for Specific Lighted Sports Amenities Within the Parks at the Discretion of the Parks and Recreation Director. So moved. Is that good? No, no, no, not. Request to pass under suspension of rules, and we need an ordinance read.”

So we had a roll call on that one?”
“So motion and a second. And then roll call, please.”
“Check my watch clock for sure. All right, Councilwoman Skagg and Chief, we're ready to go? Okay. I'll let Councilwoman get up here, and then we'll get started. This is Clay's idea not to start till 8, so you can just give him a clap of the hands if you're not an early morning person. Anyway, this is workshops for September 17th.
