“I get that. You're not going to get much in that two minutes either. As we know, three minutes goes quite quickly for most. So I think... I'm okay with the two minutes. I like to hear what they want to lead with. I can read a lot on that paper, but I think how they summarize that, and for those of us who aren't as great at brevity, it can be a good opportunity to showcase whether or not you have that skill set or not, or maybe you're really verbose, like at least one person up here on this dais, and that would become very apparent. I think I hear that we're good with two, two and keep it in…”

“So I believe in my last discussions, we haven't gotten that far because I didn't have a conversation with CITY ATTORNEY ARCHER. BUT I BELIEVE AFTER WE'VE COMPLETED ALL OF OUR INTERVIEWS, THE PLAN WAS TO MOVE INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO DISCUSS THAT. AND THEN IF ANY ACTION WERE TO ARISE, WE'D COME BACK INTO A SESSION, WELL, WE WOULD COME BACK TO A SESSION. I DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT HAPPENING ON THE FOURTH OR THE SIXTH. BUT I WANT TO DOUBLE CHECK WITH CITY ATTORNEY ARCHER THAT I DIDN'T GET ANY OF THAT WRONG BECAUSE IT'S BEEN MORE THAN A WEEK OR SO SINCE WE'VE HAD THAT CONVERSATION.”

“nights completed and that we bring that executive session because I want you to be able to spend time with that, sit on that, think about that and then have our executive session on the 11th with action to come out.”

“I'm hoping that we'll be able to gain that sense when discussing in our executive session the qualifications. I would think that of an eight there should be no more than a top 50 percent that you would want that we should be able to coalesce around and then take that from there. I don't know that I want to get on that process because I think the things that you might value might be different than something council member Rosa Pepe might value.”

“Anything else on the process? City Clerk Wallace, would you be so kind as to set those expectations with our candidates ahead of time via email, letting them know the structure and we may as well because, well, I guess they're not public because I didn't put them out there yet. We could make them public. Do we want to just let them have the questions ahead of time or just leave it as is?”

“I think they got an idea of at least the topics from last week, so they just won't have the actual... Okay, so we are just going to be asking them to make sure that they're ready for a two-minute opening statement, a two-minute closing statement, and there will be five questions. If we run out of time, we run out of time. For each question? For each question, yep.”

I KNOW WE'RE ON CITY OF BREMERTON WATER SO IT DOESN'T necessarily impact our system for the city, but are you reaching out to others? Because I know that I, for instance, voluntarily waited way too long to get my irrigation set up on the year just to try and conserve the water, knowing we're going into that. I'm trying to fight that back and bring it back to life, but I think I've lost a portion…”

“ANY HEARTBURN WITH THAT? No, but I have a tangential topic. You want to change the topic? No, I have a tangential topic because I would like to just put in everybody's mind in the budgeting process that maybe we budget for some phones for council. I spent just a few dollars being able to extract some of the information off my phone for those public records requests, but it'd be a lot easier. if Brandi could just do it.”
