“All right, good afternoon, everyone. It's 2.30. I'm going to call the meeting to order. I do want to put everyone on notice. I know we have, well, actually, let's just start with the introduction. I will tell you we're going to be going into closed session just to give everybody a heads up, but what we'll do is introductions first. We'll start with the clerk, and then we'll do the pledge of allegiance.”

“Thank you, Aaron and Mark. So colleagues, I just wanna remind us to look at it certainly for feedback to the proposal. The way we're gonna do this first round is going to be, we're gonna go districts first in this round, and then we'll go to our at-large colleagues. We'll start with Commissioner Powell.”

“So team, I'm disconnected with understanding when we say there's essentially a 5% decrease, why does that cause us to have to push out to 2050? I'm missing that.”

“Yeah. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm looking, I'm looking at baseline and I'm like, okay, So we would hit our goal by 2050, regardless? We believe so, yes, we believe so. Okay, thank you, that's helpful. So that leads me to making sure that future boards, what is the frequency that future boards should be tracking? I want a recommendation on what is a reasonable timeline for future boards to say, let's make sure that we understand where we're tracking towards the goal so that we know that we're on pace, if adjustments need to be made, if our fiscal condition changes, we can add to take away, but I…”

“Okay. Um, And, and commissioner Powell's like my expert. So, I mean, is that reasonable to say as we're, you know, if we're, if we're on pace for this to hit the goal in 15 years, so that I guess what I'm trying to say colleagues is so that future board members don't get into a position where, okay, then they're moving it out to 2060 and the community's blindsided.”

“Well, thank you. I appreciate that. And I definitely support option C, to be clear. And I thank you for your work and for presenting options. The manager, I mean, you have been committed to making sure that we have options available to us. I do think we should be transparent with the community as far as where we are and what it takes to get us toward our goals. And if we're not going to reach them, we should let them know and they should understand why. And so I appreciate it. So thank you for the presentation.”
