“Go ahead, John. Thanks. So I might want to just maybe there's a compromise here because I hear what Councilmember Trenary is trying to say. What if we're out of budget? we've exhausted our budget that we've set for the city attorney, how do we deal with that? So how about we make a, cause I also hear what council member Dedman and Warden are saying too, you know, what if they have a fundamental disagreement with the mayor? So what if instead of consult with the city attorney, if you wish to consult with the city attorney, you can check in with your council president or mayor, The mayor may or…”

“I don't think that's it. Whatever it is, that way it's always. I just can't tell him what to do. That's why I said, that's why we're not talking about the mayor. It would go on the Mayor Pro Tem then. I want to go with what she wants.”

“So I got two things. I very much agree with what Councilmember Dedmon suggested that it does put when that delegation authority has been delegated that there is something added in here as a role of any council president to alert their peers. WHEN IT STARTS AND WHEN IT ENDS. I THINK THAT'S ABSOLUTELY A FAIR ASK AND A GOOD THING. WHEN IT COMES BACK TO THIS PARTICULAR ONE ON THE MEDIA ALERT, I DIDN'T READ IT. I ALSO DIDN'T TAKE THAT TO ME AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT. I THOUGHT IT MEANT TO BCC ALL OF US TO SAY, HEY, I DID THAT. BECAUSE YOU CAN, JUST AS LONG AS WE DON'T ALL RESPOND TO IT. THAT'S THE…”

“I, too, would like to support that because I think, again, you're creating a position that's going to be untenable for the average person to sit in, and I have those abilities to flex out now. I'm not here to say that I would have that forever, and I don't... want that one either but I'm glad you said something because I wasn't gonna be the only one with that thought process because I didn't want to say I don't want to do that I would if this body asked me to but I can tell you that would be a tough nut to crack long term because sometimes we can get a lot of questions”

“Section B. Section B of 3.0. Okay. I concur.”

“Yeah, because there was a part of Section C I want to delete it anyhow, so let's just do it.”

“Unofficial. On line two, matter shall be forwarded to the city clerk or staff lead. I don't think staff lead. I think city attorney should be put in there. This is a quasi-judicial matter.”
City Council · Jul 21, 2026
- Play at 1:42:44
“But if it's, I guess that's, it would depend on what type of quasi-judicial because we can't receive some information on some of our quasi-judicial proceedings. So that's why I wanted to have the city attorney included. But if she's not worried about it,”

“And I'm actually not, now that I'm reading it, I'm not 100% sure why I had it subsectioned. I didn't write a note, so. Go ahead, Mark.”

“So before I get that, I just realized when I turned it over to you, I probably failed to set the framework here. And so I actually want to just set the framework with Clerk Wallace. Clerk Wallace, remind the team here what we've set up in the framework and what the candidates are expecting when they come to us next month.”
