“So the answer is no. You don't have any documentation of facts you can give us.”
“People make comments. Let me just finish the question so you'll understand it. People make comments and usually back it up with facts, documentation to prove that their comments are true. That's not that difficult to understand, is it?”
“So I just want to ask a simple question. You answered the question. You don't have any documentation to back up the comments that you're making. You're just listening to whistleblowers, which is okay if that's where you want to roll. That's fine. It's up to you. I don't go that way. When I make a comment, I have documentation to back up what I'm saying so people can actually see it and want to judge for themselves whether it's true or not. So, you're the one that brought it up, not me.”
“That's totally different from what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the Boolean comment. I just want documentation on the Boolean comment that you made, not about what happened and what changed, what happened, what he promised, what he didn't promise. Let's not try to change the subject. It's very simple. All I want to know is if you have documentation or anything else you can leave with this body to prove your comments about the bullying. That's all.”
“I'm just curious, maybe through the chair to my colleague in C1, does that mean that there will never be an ordinance or can any other council create an ordinance that will put into effect what you had in that ordinance? five or six years from now, a council is different and someone says, we should have an ordinance to put in certain things in place. Will that null and void this agreement or do you think that's something? I appreciate the fact that you're going to get rid of your ordinance that you had in there now, but there's nothing to prohibit future councils from saying, we really need…”
“The McKinney-Vento fund, how much money is left in that fund? Just curious.”
“Point of clarification, if I may, please.”
“When my colleague in C4 says, what of our meetings? What meetings are we talking about? We talking about council meetings? We talking about committee meetings? We talking about a meeting that's just been somewhere arranges to have with the mayor? Just what kind of meeting we're talking about?”
“So the meeting you had on Thursday afternoon wasn't a budget meeting or was it just a?”
“Okay, so there was a meeting between the councils to discuss the budget.”
“Yeah, what is this? Your point of order? I don't see disrespect in the budget that we're looking at.”
“I'm hearing you on your point of order, Councilor.”
“I don't see hallucinations in the budget either. Constancy we're talking about hallucinations and disrespect. I don't see it in the budget. Can we talk focus on the budget?”
“I don't see hallucinations. I read it too. I don't see hallucinations in here. What disrespect? it's an opinion take the opinion and go with that or don't go with that but i don't want to hear about hallucinations during the budget meeting a special meeting about a budget we're talking about hallucinations and disrespectful come on i'm speaking specific to the subject can i have the floor please”
“I just want to know who gave the numbers. You're right. It's a good question. Who would get it from me?”
“Yeah, and I was just going to say in my colleague in seat three, I understand you're upset with this legal opinion, but what we do when we don't agree with the legal opinion is ignore it altogether, like you said, throw it in the trash, and just base your own form of opinion and just go with it. So it's not like we have to have a legal opinion when we're making our decisions on these things. Whether we get one or not, if it's unsolicited, if you don't like it, ignore it. It's very simple. It's not uncommon. It's happened in the past. I've disagreed with legal opinions in the past times I've…”
“SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE LINE ITEMS AND ONE TOGETHER? ONE SECTION. THE SAME THING WE'RE TRYING TO DO.”
