“But I do believe that we should discuss that today as a, I don't know, I feel like we need to go in some type of order.”

“That being the rezoning process. We've decided no on that. No action? No action on that. So if you could go to the next page, please, which is 3 of 8. The one thing I forgot to mention was the appointment on Section 6.03. They basically took out the nomination and went back to confirmation. That's a no-go for me. May I share something?”

“And that's one of the reasons I'm saying no to it. But also, one of the reasons this is very important is because we currently have an interim chief of police, and that's illegal.”

“So, I just wanted to bring that one up for a quick vote to see if anybody thinks that we should go back to the mayor appointing.”

“Okay. So, does anybody think that that's a good idea to go back to the mayor appoints? The 6.03. May I just?”

“Agreed. And that's exactly what I said. I think that interim chief Owen is doing a phenomenal job. I really love him. I think that he should have the title. If something were to happen in this city, we need to have someone whose job it is that can't be switched immediately. People need the confidence in the chief. And him being named interim just says that we don't have the confidence. And I have the confidence in him. And I think all of us do. I don't know why we wouldn't just approve him. So, I mean, I 100% agree with you on that. So, so far we have said no to section 2.15 and section 6.03,…”

“But there's nothing to prevent us. It says council members may adopt by such bylaws, regulations, and rule procedure. Yes. So if we found there was a problem, we could fix it with rules and procedure. Yes, you have the ability.”

“My guess is that they did mention somewhere in the Charter Review Commission, I believe someone said that there were quite a few things that didn't make it in. Councilman Carlson alluded to it earlier. I think this is one of the things that was inadvertently left in because I'm almost positive we took out anything that had to do with 1979 and all of these dates. So I think this was just missed. Stale. I don't think there's anything wrong with this.”

“And what this is is terms. So this is the terms of the council members and it talks about the 1979 municipal election.”

“So I agree with council member Carlson. I, I, this isn't something I wanted and it went through and I'm not thrilled by it.”

“I know. I understand what you're saying in that we have, it's already done. Please don't interrupt. Sorry, but please don't interrupt. I'm just saying that, that if you all want it to go through, that's fine, but I don't. So I'm just, I'm saying no.”

“Yes, and I think we should fix it like Council Member Carlson said. But again, if we don't have a majority that want to fix it, then that's fine.”

“The fix is to make sure that the actual language doesn't say city council and mayor and only speaks to directors, which that was not the language that made it on the ballot. Council Member Carlson is correct.”

“I was going to say also 6.05, we shouldn't just have the city attorney. We should have the CRC attorney look at that as well.”

“Um, I don't think we should put a pin in 6.06. I think let's just have the discussion I think that there's I think that we can do exactly what you said if you could pull up number four on Councilmember clendenin's the blank page the independent inspector general one. Yeah, the one that starts within a spell Yeah, if you it's it's like the second to last page. It says number four City Council comment compensation Thank you So I really believe that we can do this by ordinance. And there was not an appetite for this at the beginning of our term but I believe now at the end of our term when the…”
