“Any other comments on changing the word from may to will. Okay. Again, we'll go with the voice vote. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed say nay. Okay, that motion carries. So we've made two adjustments here. And then we're now back to Councilmember Rasmus on the main motion before us. Councilmember Rasmus.”

“So if I read between the lines, I think we're now realizing maybe why the original draft did have May instead of Will. That wasn't just a Councilmember Ramirez and Pazarooski change. That was probably well scrubbed by a lawyer back in the day when... the rules of procedures were gone through several years ago. So what's your advice now, Maile, if someone wants to take what you just said to heart, did they just make another motion to say, nevermind or change that back?”

“Yeah. Well, I think council has gotten an answer from council member Rasmus' question. So if anyone wants to make a motion, I'll entertain a motion. But if nobody wants to, then we'll move on. But you've heard what Maile said. And so now it's on us to decide if we want to make a motion to change it back.”

“Okay, so we have a motion on the floor to move it back to May. And we have a first and a second. And so, Council Member Rasmus, you have the floor.”

“Okay, any other comments on this motion to go back to May? Okay. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed, say nay. Okay. We're going two steps forward, two steps back. So were you, did you have the floor? Okay. Deputy Mayor Creeley, you now have the floor on this main motion. And coming off mute. There we go.”

“Do you see it on your screen? Just striking the blue line says it is preferred Deputy Mayor presides in person. Okay. So just striking that.”

“Okay. All right. So can we, someone over there strike the blue when the mayor is unavailable to preside? There we go. Does that look, look correct? Okay. So that's, that's the motion to strike all of the blue. And is there any other council comment on this motion?”

Okay, motion carries. Okay, we've made three or four amendments, depending upon how you want to look at it. I think we're doing pretty good. Are there any further amendments? or any further conversation on the main motion on the floor, which is what technically we are back to. Okay, so as Councilmember Ramirez requested, we will do a roll call vote. This is on the main motion to approve or to amend Section…”

This is a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute the First Amendment to the Mountain View Community Center Heating and Cooling Site Agreement. Councilmember Keith, this is your motion.

“Um, may I point out you can just request so we don't need to make a motion or council rules. Make it clear if you just want to if someone would like to be Jeff's 2nd person I 2nd. Yeah. Okay. So can I be dramatic? Um, it's, it's not currently spelled out in our council rules of procedure. So that's why I'm just saying that's, that's not one of the routes to put it on the agenda, but simply asking and council member Keith being your second.

“And I'll just add, I just today sent PSE a request to have someone come present to our council. I mean, I don't know that it's going to do any good, and I don't know that they'll come here before September 29th, but I reached out to them because I know another neighboring city did the same thing. I thought, oh, that's a great idea. Why don't we invite them to come speak to our council meeting? So I've made that request, and I'll keep council posted. Council Member Keith.”
