“Council Member Rospepe. Thank you. Nick, I want to commend your team on doing the outreach because I know that from the first meeting Mark and I were both at it was a little bit sparse and your outreach got a lot more comments. and participation from that area of the community, which I think is imperative to moving forward. I like the hybrid approach. It shows that the initial comments of keeping a lot of natural space, especially with some of the development that's gone around there that they were asking for, but at the same time has a little bit of a park feel to it. uh that people can…”

“concur with Scott that if, especially since we have a before, you know, before kind of welcoming time period and then afterwards where council members are kind of individual and people can come up to them. I have, I think, three slides and one of them, you know, all on the parks and one of them could be easily, you know, a static display for afterwards to talk to people. So I think it's up on, it would be up to the council member Who has that topic to see if they want to have something static display? Afterwards to contact whomever whether it be Brandi or Megan and say could I have this?…”

“Thanks, Scott, for keeping us on track. We did, we had a short meeting today where we went through mostly the projects that are occurring at the facility. There's nothing that's outside of, out of control or budget. However, their NPDES permit from Department of Ecology uh, is, uh, been 37 months since they submitted it. So they're still waiting for reply from Department of Ecology and that will drive, uh, some of their projects in 2027 should get, get done. We also had a discussion that's going to carry on into next, uh, next month, uh, regarding bio loading. Uh, specifically we have both…”

“You're not, yeah, I can appreciate that. Council Member Rospepe. And my initial impression with the information you gave us, Mayor, is I'm totally against this unless it's proportional. that we need to be receiving the revenue that we would have collected otherwise, and putting anything else on the city makes it basically an unfunded mandate, and I'm totally against this from the get-go, from how it sounds. I would definitely need more information, but again, I find it to be punishing the cities.”

“Thank you. Okay. Sometimes it takes a little while in the head. First of all, thank you for coming tonight and Participating appreciate it About a year ago maybe a little bit longer John brought up about the two members of council having to recuse themselves because of working for the county on anything this council business and It really hit home when we had the streets contract. It was a couple weeks ago and we were down council member and then two more. I sent a very strongly worded from my own email to the commissioners and I think that we ought to consider as a council I haven't received…”

“A quick question, Charlie. On that where you're talking about voting on a motion for. One candidate at a time. You would go through but could if we don't come to a candidate can you bring that another candidate that that candidate back up again.”

“Um, point of order yes. I think we should pull the council to see if they feel that, uh. Council member deadman should recluse self based on those issues. I do not. I believe that as a council member, she has a duty for this process and to support the council.”

“Perfect. Would Councilmember Dedman stay for a second? I have a second question, point of order.”

“Thank you. So my question is then, is your intent to recluse yourself from the voting if we choose to vote on a Councilmember Knight since you will not be part of the executive session?”

“Thank you, Mayor Pro Temp. I would like to put forth the candidate for the open council member seat. I'd like to put forward the name of Tiffany Mitchell.”

“Thank you. Basically, I was looking during this process for somebody to build consensus and have a firm grasp of legislative experience. I think Tiffany showed this. through her, you know, basically what she showed during both the interview process, her resume, and what we've seen of her outside in the community. Not the strongest interview, but I think also a little bit on the nerve side. But I think she can build consensus and bring a good growth to a collaboration also to us. And I think it would be helpful at this time.”

“Yeah, I would like to have just 1 last point about it is, uh. i think maybe because of youthful enthusiasm i think paul needed to read the room a little bit better um and this is not about paul it's a it's really a discussion about we have a a motion on the floor about tiffany's possible candidacy coming in as council member um and i'm going to say this not in rebuttal but i i think you know we're one city and where people live is not as strict as we think it is i go you know when where i live you know i did a lot of walking and uh quite frankly I have a lot more people ask me in West of 16…”

“No, I was just going to weigh in 1st of all, since I can't get my camera straight, I was going to be. Have video off the whole time. My 2 cents where I agree with Scott, you need to ask the same questions. So, bottom line is, I think we just asked the 5 questions and that's it for tonight.”
