“Okay. Thank you, Chief. Appreciate it. Okay, Council, next up is audience comment. Audience, this is your time to step to the podium. You've got five minutes. We have one person that signed up, Eric Page, and he would like to discuss the Shober Rezone proposal. And I'll forewarn everybody. You don't have to have signed up. So if you want to also speak after Eric, feel free. So Eric, you know, the routine step right up and take it away.”

“Okay. Thank you, Eric. Any other audience comment? Don't see anybody here. I don't see anybody online. Jeremy, can I just slip in a comment? And I don't know, hopefully this is okay, but can you just refresh our memory as to when we will, as a council, see the Sjobert rezone? When's it on our calendar? It...”

“So the soonest it would be coming to the council would be late September. Okay. Thank you. Just while that conversation is fresh, just wanted to get that. Okay, I'm not seeing any other audience comment. Takes us to mayor's report. A couple of things. I mentioned this during council comment last week and then in my afternoon at the mayor post, but just wanted to mention it here in a regular council meeting during the mayor's report about the Highway 161 update. I had a conversation with somebody in Olympia. They informed me that the project, the repair project, of the road is scheduled to go…”

“Okay. Well, there you go. It's not too late. So give that some thought if you want to be a host home. And then finally, just want to say that I attended Summerfest and it was a wonderful event back or down at the park and great job by that organizing committee of volunteers who did 95% of the work. And thank you to the other city staff for doing the final segment to contribute to that event. But the event went great. Second year in a row we've held Summerfest has been held at the park and it seems to be working out great as a location. So that concludes my mayor's report. Takes us next to the…”

“Okay, it has been moved by Council Member Rasmus and seconded by Deputy Mayor Creeley to approve the consent agenda as presented. All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed, say no. Okay, motion carries. Okay, next up, Council Business. We have the motion to extend the Mountain View Community Center Heating and Cooling Center Agreement by one year. This was a motion by Council Member Keith a couple weeks back. And so I'll let... We don't really have a staff update on this item because we're still kind of working on it. So... Barring that, it takes us right to I'll entertain a motion on…”

“Okay, it has been moved by... Council Member Southard has moved to postpone this item to the August 18th study session, and Council Member Rasmus has seconded that motion. Council Member Southard, you have the floor.”

“Yes, I think that's fine that we can do that. We had it previously scheduled to all go out with the packet, but I think we can make a one-off exception to send this. So we'll send you the agreement on a separate one-off, and then you'll also see it again with the August 18th agenda packet. Okay, any other council comment on this motion on the floor? Okay, seeing no further comment, all those in favor, say aye. Aye. Any opposed, say nay.”

“Okay, motion carries. Takes us to council comments. Are there any council comments tonight? I'm not sure who was first, but Council Member Keith and then Council Member Ramirez and then Deputy Mayor Creeley.”

“I think it would make most sense to put that on a study session agenda. And you can kind of, since you were tasked with that assignment, you can just kind of provide an update to the council at an upcoming study session.”

“Perfect. Sounds great. Are you ready for August 18th or would you rather September 2nd or whatever? Give you those two choices. August 18th or the first Tuesday in September.”

“Well, we have the Mountain View Community Center agreement. That's on there. And Yeah, fences and alarm systems. Well, I tell you what, Mark, why don't we, or Deputy Mayor Creeley, we'll shoot for the 18th. And if we decide it looks too crazy, then I'll reach out to you and see if you're fine with the first Tuesday in September.”

“Okay, Council, does anyone have any items to add or delete to tonight's agenda for Council Rule 9.3? Usually doesn't happen, and I don't see any hands raised. Okay. We're going to kick things off tonight with a presentation by Angelina Koenig from the Mountain View Community Center. She is the executive director and she would like to present to us tonight. So, Council, we can ask a few questions, maybe not grill her too much, but we'll let Angelina present and then ask her a few questions.”

“Okay. I think that wraps it up. Thank you very much, Angela. We appreciate it. Okay. It moves us along to audience comment. Uh, we have one person signed up, Damon Cromar. Um, Did I already pronounce your last name correctly? Romar, okay. Damon, you know the routine, just looks like the microphone's still on, so you have up to five minutes these days, so you don't have to use all of them, but you... I'll keep it in the five minutes.”

“Okay, thank you. Damon was the only one that signed up, but you don't have to sign up. If someone else has any other audience comment, they're welcome to step forward now. I don't think we have any hands raised in the virtual audience. So I'm sensing that that concludes audience comment. Okay, moving on. The mayor's report. So a couple of things to pass along. I want to let the council know that I'm still working on trying to get the Roberts Rules of Order training. It's just... Jurassic Parliament is in a little bit of transition. So we're not really getting phone calls returned or emails…”
