I just pulled out this one, even though I know that we talked about it as being almost a decade, that unfortunately the residents haven't been able to have the full use on this area of the park, of Legacy Park. I just wanted to please to go over it a little bit because I know that there were many residents that have asked about the use of, for many years, that they haven't been able to fully use.

“Nobody had never asked a question before, but the question is being already brought up. So based on this, I'm bringing my item that was deferred on April 16th on the next agenda. Thank you.”

“If I made a particular one, I even addressed that it was a violation that day, and I also talked to you about it on that day also, and I asked you, and you told me that you needed some time for clarification and to check on that, so that's why I'm bringing and I'm requesting that I'm not going to be bringing that item back based on that conversation that we had.”

“The question was never asked, and I asked particular because of that item. And if we go by that, then, I mean, let's put an example in science. People didn't know before that smoking was a harm. You give cancer. Now people know. So they had to put in the label. In this case, I asked particularly because of that item.”

“But I think that it's just fair for me to bring it back because the question raised rice on that particular item on that day. Not before it was on that day.”

“I don't agree with the opinion of the city attorney because I raised the question at that time. And I think that it's just fair at the time that I was giving you to look into it and to see there was a violation of the charter because there was clearly a violation of the charter by the mayor by deferring my item on April 16 about Doge.”

“I go again, and I am not going to agree with you. I mean, we can spend the whole morning talking about this, but I don't agree with it because the question was never raised. I raise the question. I talk about it at the point that that happened.”

“Okay, thank you. I have a few points. I on my meeting review with the agenda review with the city manager. I remember that you told me that he was going to be is agreed to pay 40 hours, but it doesn't specify on 3.1. The 40 hours is gonna be monthly, weekly, so I would like to see if that could be amended or clarified there.”

“Okay, just wanted to clarify that. I don't know if there's any other language that can be used just to clarify, because he doesn't have any legal, like you confirmed.”

“Okay. And then under the... And also within the agreement, I would like to see there's a clause that usually happened. I mean, it is presented in different contracts where especially because of what has transpired about when it comes to for him to be partial and fair. There's some clause where he says that. That the agreement doesn't mention anything when it comes to fairness or impartial. And I have a concern with that, and I would like to see if you can add a clause that says that he will be...”

“Yes, I do have. It has brought up that point and nothing has been done. So I think that that clause should be within his contract. As well, I would like to know who is going to evaluate his performance. I don't think that it should be partial in the sense that Neither the city manager or any body that has to do as an elected official will be the one evaluating. But my recommendation will be that it will be an outsider, like, for example, the ethics committee to evaluate his performance. So it will be more transparency within his his evaluation. So.”

“Why was that decision made, just to go through the list and not be a little more transparent and be able to have a bidding process? Because this is not $10,000, $20,000, or $50,000. We're talking over $370,000. And within the scope of work of what he was showing there, 8% to 15%. We're talking that maybe will be a project that will cost over four or six million dollars or so. Why is it that we didn't do or go through the bidding process or is within the list? It's just that we just that this is determined that nobody will do the bidding. We just choose whoever was next.”
