“Yes, ma'am. Before we appoint seven members, I do, since the 4A is on a separate tax notice, I want to be sure that we can have seven members and still uphold the tax before we do anything on their attorney or on our attorney to collaborate and really decipher if a seven-man board is actually attainable.”

“Can I make a general comment? Yes. Yes. So the gentleman that I appointed, his name is Callan Gatwick. He is a Floorsville High School graduate class of 2018. Him and I did some similar sports together. He went to St. Mary's University in San Antonio. He played baseball there. He's a good young leader in our community, and I think he'll be a great asset to the 4A board, bringing the younger generation in for sure.”

“Yes, ma'am. It does seem counterintuitive to me that, you know, you talk about illegal gambling and that we have an ordinance where it was illegal to have these machines in there. You know, I do believe that there is a way that the city in itself could manage this better. I mean, at the end of the day, it is a revenue source for us, whether we want it or not. People are just going to go right down the road and do it. You know, the legal court operating machines aren't going anywhere. So it does seem counterintuitive. I think the public, you know, I've got a lot of really, really positive…”

“GO AHEAD. YES, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO HAVE SOME BETTER exactly what we're taking away, because a coin-operated machine is just a general statement to me. And plus, this has been illegal for so long, why haven't we taken care of it soon? You know, I mean, it's just coming up now. I mean, there's a long time.”

“Yes, all the information is in this package. That's great. Mm-hmm. that's great up there and you know that but the thing is for that topic that's just for us to see right the six counselors up there but the general public wants to know exactly what this is going to be elaborated yeah that's why you're supposed to read it and you can explain it to them again again again for for sorry i didn't mean to say that”

“That's a great initiative, sir. So with the bins and stuff, is this going to be, is the Republic going to be providing those big bins, or is it an outside source or outside company?”

“Mayor, I have a question. Go ahead. Go ahead. Yes, go ahead. Okay, yes. This is our city manager. Has the city gone and asked the AACOG for any funds? I think they have a pretty similar program for rural counties.”

“Yes. So just a little transparency. I'm one of the members that left as well, but before the meeting started and during the comment period, whenever I left, I advised the city staff and the council that I was going into work and there was an emergency of a fellow worker that I had at the fire department and there was”

“Yes, ma'am. Under a couple of conditions. I do not need to see a vehicle. I do not need a hotel. I just want to go on the condition. And I've got a comment for it. You know, in my personal opinion, I think the council should go because we learn a lot of new things with the state of our council right now. We have all the continued education we can possibly get. So I apologize to everybody. But, yeah, we learn a lot of things, right? You know, you learn about policy. You learn about new laws. You learn about what's going on in the state of Texas. And also, one of the greatest parts about it is…”

“Yes, ma'am. Just for full transparency, I'm the one being grieved against, and it's my grievance. I would love for it to be heard in open session. And I've got a comment to it. First of all, I don't even know if we can even go with this grievance because it was improperly posted. this item is misposted and under closed session should not be held until it's properly posted to protect the rights of myself being agreed upon this is improper because the grievance process specifically precludes the attorney from handling a grievance against the council member as do the texas disciplinary rules of…”
