“You said two different things. First you said no, then you said yes. The version that's in the packet that I signed on the 21st does reflect the changes from Walden and Jenkins.”

“Yeah, I remember I think you made the clarifying statement that the Council did not vote to approve the contract.”

“Yeah, I remember that. The dates and the conversation was slightly confusing. But if in fact the version that you sent me is the version that included the changes and that has been signed, then That's clear as mud. If there, if there were subsequent changes post that, then obviously I would want to have seen that. But it sounds like it sounds like it's not sounds like the one that's in here includes the changes.”

“Mayor Pro Tem, I saw that this item was submitted by you, but given responsibility to me to present, I was not aware that this was an expectation for today's meeting, but certainly I can get with the He cannot development director and I can get together prepare a update and a presentation and a future Council meeting. To be able to be prepared for that.”

“No, I don't have any emails or communication that requested a presentation for today.”

“No, I don't have an email or any correspondence requesting an update for that either. I would see that on the cover letter. It was submitted by you and assigned to me. But again, I don't have any request to be able to be prepared for that, but certainly can in the future.”

“Well, that's great. I did not receive your text, but that is fantastic. If the request certainly is for us to make a presentation, I will get with Lance and we'll put that together. The staff did make me aware when they submitted the cover letter the other day that you had requested me to make a presentation. But again, that was just a business day ago. And so obviously not prepared to have a presentation just one business day ago. And again, that wasn't communicated to me until the memo, the cover letter was prepared.”

“Mayor Cobble understanding that the city intends to use its own funds to acquire the equipment. It is still it is still going inside of a building owned by the URA and not the city. Would this also need to be on the agenda for an upcoming URA meeting to approve the installation of the equipment into the building owned by the URA? I'm asking legal that really now you ready? I apologize.”

“Okay. You said that. Let me not recite what you said. Let me ask another question. You're saying that you don't think that's required and I just I can't remember if you mentioned this or not, you are restating that from where. that you were going through its equipment to be just installed and that it's not having an effect on the building. And so thus that this description of what's happening does not require the landlord to kind of weigh in. Are you basing that on the agreement between the URA and the city? Or are you just kind of generally speaking about the installation of equipment and…”

“I wouldn't see why you're basing that just on the mechanical functionality of the equipment is practical and not right. So it is certainly to address a serious concern of security and to improve our safety protocols. So that's obviously an elevated risk. But you're saying it is a very light installation. So it's a high concerning issue. But it's a resolution is low level in that it's just the placement of equipment. and thus the landlord doesn't need to weigh in on the enhancements of its property or security concerns.”

“Yeah, I certainly understand the financial responsibility is now with the city versus what was published in the agenda packet. So that's fine. If you will, please just follow up and certainly let us know us that you are a if you intend to If the agreement leans in any way to the landlord, you know, having some input on certainly the URA would agree. I have no doubt. Just wanted to know that the agreement either has or has not been reviewed or the agreement has been reviewed and that requirement did not exist. But certainly the city taking on the financial responsibility, I don't think the URA…”

“Yeah, whatever agreement exists between the city and the landlord. The city and the URA?”

“I asked her to review the agreement between the URA who's the landlord and the city who's the tenant and just determine if there's any other action post this one that the URA would need to take. Has no effect on whether or not the city will move on its item today. I'm asking for a post action that if it does require the URA to also take action, we obviously would need to know that. Again, not a reflection on the item for you today. Today your item is more financial than it is anything else.”

“I take offense to the secondhand classification as a state employee, but yes, it was obtained from the state, yes.”

“Well, wouldn't the URA have to agree to said reimbursement?”

“Well, don't look at me. You, the city council, is the URA, by the way. So it ain't you. It will be the URA board. Yes, and it's also not my recommendation that you wait to install said equipment. I do not think that that's a requirement. And to explain further, in the URA's existence, the URA has never paid for any equipment or any renovation in this building. As a matter of fact, as you all know, or you should because you are members of the URA, every time the city has made improvements to this building, it has been with city funds. As a matter of fact, the city budgets to renovate this…”

“The precedent has been set that any change to the property has just simply been approved by the URA. But it wasn't approved ahead. It was approved, hey, the city said it wants to spend this kind of money on this renovation. Great, URA. We're like, hey, no problem. City wants to do it. We're here to support that. City's going to pay for it. Let's do it. I mean, this is not unique to anything. literally, we have done it the same way every single time.”

“The URA cannot vote in the city council meeting. No, two separate entities. But if the State Council would send dates that the URA members are available for a meeting, we'll certainly get one on the calendar.”
