“Yeah, that's true, because we were looking for it. And so I think the last school board meeting is going to be, I think, today. Yeah, it was today. So I guess you couldn't come there and do it.

“Just a clarifying question to my colleague. So what I just want to understand, so are you saying that you would like for the city manager to see instead of...

“I'll just clarify. I just want to make sure I understood. IS THE REASON WHY WE WENT THIS ROUTE INSTEAD OF INCORPORATING SOMEONE IN YOUR COMMUNITY, IN YOUR DEPARTMENT, DID YOU GO THIS ROUTE BECAUSE IT WAS A LIABILITY REASON? IS IT COST EFFICIENT TO GO THIS ROUTE TO HIRE A CONSULTANT INSTEAD?”
