“And then my last one was area for improvement, which would be, I think, just be just from our benefit as the state is passing certain statutes. Um, I think as we're trying to preserve wetlands as we're faced with development challenges, If you could, your office could provide us with case law and options for us when we're hearing things. I think sometimes as not being the quote unquote expert puts us in a tough situation. So if we had a better understanding of maybe we disagree with staff, what would those legal liabilities potentially be? Is there case law to support other areas that we're…”

“OK, so and I do apologize for not submitting mine. I I've submitted these in the past and I felt like they'd have just been on the agenda and. They've just we haven't really discussed them, so. I I feel like Tom, you've done a great job. I think with the situation that we've been in, I will and I don't think this will be a surprise to you. It was not my intent initially to hire within. I was looking for an outside person and a lot of the reasons that I appreciated our city attorney. I think it's been nice to have an outside perspective because sometimes when you get too comfortable you are…”

“Yes. Okay. I think we all received an email about the indoor amusement. The applicant or somebody wanting to know and make sure that they can do indoor amusement. I don't know if somebody responded to that or I just wanted to make sure that person in the community understood that they can do what they were wanting to do based off our council meeting. So I don't know if staff received that and responded or...”

“Um, the other one, I think mayor, you brought this up earlier in the meeting and I wanted, and Brad's not here, so I don't know if we should discuss it now, but I think what you were getting at was, um, and not having office professional as a zoning district. I think you were saying, can we just have community commercial that would allow office and would allow restaurants and trying to alleviate that where we just have here's community commercial that could allow restaurants and then here's office professional that cannot allow restaurants but can allow an office, whereas community commercial…”

“Yeah, so I, again, I wish Brad were here, but maybe we revisit it. But I think if there are things that we can do, I think... Some of our discussions that we have had up here have centered around preserving commercial space and wanting more things for our citizens to be able to do. So if there are things that we can do to make that easier for a restaurant to open up potentially that community commercial space, I think I would be in favor of that. And so I don't know if we want to wait till our next meeting to discuss when Brad's here. I just wanted to put that out there because after we had…”

“Okay, and then last thing I do want to say, I don't want the city manager to feel disrespected by some of the comments that were shared. Um, just being able to watch how the mayor kind of navigates things. There's a lot that he does that I don't necessarily agree with. But I will say in the past when I've done these evaluations, I have been hesitant to say anything negative just because I don't want somebody to get offended. And I think some of those things I would agree with that that the mayor did put on there that I kind of highlighted in my report. I don't want I don't want there to be…”
