“No, I was just saying on Thursday night, you know, when we come back in, if somebody cares to nominate somebody to be a council member, that would be a way. of decision after we deliberate in an open session. Because open session will certainly be, we may make points about what constitutes a good council member, what we're looking for. I hope we do when we nominate somebody, but it will be a nomination process. And then it is a majority rules. And we may end up with a 3-3, we may end up with a 4-2, but we go from there. So you're saying there's a motion to nominate? Absolutely.”

“email questioning whether we could postpone this or not. And I responded that basically we've seen when items or design work gets postponed or projects get postponed that the costs only increase. so i'm strongly in favor of this i don't like obviously don't like spending additional money when we don't have to but we know that we need to get this project on the road and shovel ready so i'm in favor of allocating the funds for this and i'm sure that the finance committee has looked at this too that's more marcy yeah so i just want to make sure that”

“John, I think you did a great job taking 10 questions and pulling them down to five. I usually at this point in time use the question, is there anything I can't live with? And I can live with these. I think they are fairly open-ended. We're going to get some very detailed responses. And since we have only 30 minutes in the interview with possible any follow-up questions, I'm comfortable with these five questions. I wouldn't add a sixth.”

“BASICALLY WHAT I'VE SEEN IN INTERVIEWS IS THERE'S AN OPENING STATEMENT BY THE PERSON, PRETTY MUCH LIMITED TO TWO MINUTES, AND THEN THERE'S A WRAP-UP STATION, WRAP-UP COMMENT BY THE PERSON AT THE END. and each of those are like two minutes, so we're down to 25 minutes with five questions, and that's the way I would do it. If they have any material that they wanna pass to the committee, I've seen that before, that would be given for us to preview later. I mean, they've given us their, ESSENTIALLY A RESUME, SO I THINK WE'LL BE FINE WITH THAT. THAT'S MY TAKE. OKAY. I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU.”

“Council Member Rospepe. There was a question that came from the dais about how we're going to grade, make notes. What is the follow-on after we interview? I believe, Brandy, we still have eight, correct? That we have eight candidates that we're interviewing on the fourth and the sixth. So how do we move forward with that?”

“I would like to move it at last. Then we can set a time where there's 10 or 15 minutes, 20 minutes. I don't expect going too long. We got through 10 pages last time. You know, so if we get through another, you know, five to 10 pages, we're ahead of the game. Brandy and I are kind of putting together a red line version. So as we go, so we'll be able to bring everything to you as we go. So just hang in there and we'll move it to the end of the meeting if that's okay with everybody.”
