“He's online. Ready to go? All right. I tell you, these council meetings, they come and go quickly. So we're into August, and thank goodness the smoke has lifted a little bit.

But anyway, it's…”
“And we'll see you several other times, I'm sure, before my term's up. Okay. Just before we do roll call, just a quick little comment because you mentioned Twin Falls. And hopefully that's been in your mind and prayers. But we have our MPD back here. And Chief Huff was kind enough to send five patrolmen on Sunday, yesterday, to help out just with patrol with Twin Falls. Meridian also sent, and I think Caldwell sent at least one. So anyway, a community that's going to give in so many different ways. So they were down there early Sunday morning and came back, I believe, last night. So anyway,…”
“Okay, I'm not seeing any proclamations, so we're going to move right on to the public forum, and this is where we allow five individuals, up to five individuals, to speak on an agenda or non-agenda item for a maximum of three minutes. I understand our five is full, so we get to hear from five of you tonight, and if you'll still please, Madam Clerk, whoever goes first.”
“We just need your name and address when you come up here, please.”

“We need to get just a little closer, and we'll see if that works. I'm sorry. I'm scared. You're going to have to be very intimate with that mic, I guess, tonight.”

“Right, thanks very, very much. Okay, I think that does it for our public forum. Any council, any changes to the agenda? Nope. All in favor say aye.”
“Also, consent agenda. Do we have any? Oh, okay. Okay, so we need an adoption. Thank you. Madam Clerk keeps me in line, and I appreciate that.”
“Okay, and then the same thing with the consent agenda.”
“Okay. I believe we are now ready for our communications. So, John and Crystal, I think you're up first. This is regarding the Eustick Corridor Projects update.”
“And stand pretty close. That mic, maybe it's just my age and hearing, but yeah, thanks.”
“I'm sorry, John, can we shut down? Okay, we're totally off. I love music, but I don't think we're, okay. I was about ready to get up and dance, but you don't want that, so we'll go ahead. Okay.”

“That'll be at the next council meeting? Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. Thanks, Rodney. Thank you. Appreciate it. Our final communication is going to be a legal one, so hopefully we can all understand. But anyway, our legal counsel, Preston Rudder, and then Ben also will be presenting, I believe.”
“Thanks, Ben, and thank you for your service for these last eight months. I know you, whenever I come in, you're hard at it, so good luck with the rest of your law school.”
“Ben, I'm going to interrupt real quick because Lisa, I'm not able to read it for the print. Is this on our website or where someone can see this yet?”
“I'm just talking about the public as far as We want to wait till that ordinance is in place before we do anything as far as public wise I'm sorry to interrupt you Ben. I just”
