“Well, so I'm still confused as to what we're doing here. That's an exercise that we'll do again. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be hard-nosed. But these guys, I know a lot more than I did when I started fire service and what their – what they need and some folks are a little more desperate than other folks. And I think for us to sit up here and go round and round and round on all these different roles and things, I don't think it accomplishes anything. We need to accomplish something for our fire service because they're the ones out there that maybe in one hour are going to respond to…”

“Okay. So, I questioned... what the money was going to early on when I was on council. And I was told from economic development folks that it was to be used When a business came in and they disrupted the land around them, maybe the roads or sidewalks were needed or something happened like infrastructure, it was to be used for whatever that business needed. was a disruption and needed to be fixed and added. So it would go along with the road situation that was also somebody else brought up. That's what I was told. And it made sense to me because these businesses do come in and they tear up…”

“I think that's very worthwhile having trained two staff members or whatever to be there to sign up because what that's gonna do is it gets so congested out there when we have a big topic that there is infighting and everything because they're all trying to get in there. Well, if they're signing up after out there, it can be more orderly, and then people, if there's an overflow that they have to go upstairs or whatever, then they sign in and go upstairs, but I think that that is a definite nice thing to happen. And then, I'm not necessarily for the three minute situation, but I'm willing to…”

“But we are kind of, because if they're going to go out front and you've got the folks out there talking to them, and they want to ask questions of somebody. There's people here all the time that have never understood how to sign up. Because like you said, they're signing up to come in here and sit down.”

“I know, but you can if you've got qualified staff and they can ask questions. I mean, we had a whole QTS situation where we had like three or four women that came that had never walked through that door before. They didn't even know what they were supposed to be doing. But if they had had somebody out there to talk to, and ask questions and answer questions, then it would go for a smooth transition.”

“Well, I think that definitely whoever committee that is that looks at public hearings, I don't know what committee that is, that the people that come up to speak, I think there should be a time limit on them. Yeah.”

“Our data center moratorium and what we've been doing so far with the additions to the ordinance. And the plan is... to take Tom and Jonathan's work that they've been doing to the Planning and Zoning Committee, another committee meeting. And then after that, any additions you guys have, then bringing it to council, not to vote on, but to discuss all the things that we've put into it. So I don't know where that's gonna fit in.”

“Well, wouldn't you like to hear some of the things first and kind of mull it over and then we put... take out, put in, then bring it to council. I mean, that's how a workshop works. If you don't want it to work that way, then we need to change workshops.”

“It's going to be the whole presentation, but I was trying to be polite. If you don't want me to be polite, we'll just bring it right on. We're not going to bring it to PNC. What do you want to do, Tom? Do you want it brought to PNC first or do you want to just bring it to council?”
