“Any further questions, Council? I have one. So about 10 years ago, I was on a six-month driving restriction for health reasons. So I had to go out and get my Orca card. So 10 years later, I've still got my Orca card in my wallet. Do I still need that? Or is there an app nowadays? Has it gotten easier? Can I thin out my wallet? Or there's got to be something cool nowadays.”

“All right, perfect. Thank you. All right, gentlemen, anything else? I don't see any further questions from council. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work. Oh, and audience, if you didn't, where was this? Was there a stack of these for the audience? They were passed out to council. So if you didn't see that, there's a stack on the table there at the back. So maybe grab that on your way out of here tonight. Okay, thank you. All right, next up, we have an executive session. The council will now meet in an executive session to discuss with legal counsel matters pursuant to RCW…”

“Are you good? Okay. Okay. We're good. We are back in session. And thank you, audience, for being patient with us. We are now to audience comment point. And this is your opportunity to step up to... the microphone and you have five minutes to share your audience comment for anything on or off the agenda. We have one person signed up. Again, you don't need to have signed up, but this is the Reverend Andrew Conley Holcomb. Okay, and he wants to speak about the Mountain View Community Center support.”

“Thank you, Reverend Andrew. Is there anybody else that would like to step to the podium? And I don't see any hands raised. Are we looking to see if there's any audience members? We have some participants, but I don't see any hands raised, so I'm assuming no. Okay, so that concludes our audience comment. Takes us to tonight's consent agenda. Are there any items to be amended or pulled from tonight's consent agenda? Seeing none, may I entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented?”
