“I have a couple of comments. The first one is under section 14-18, under candidates. So now we're requiring three documents, right? you're changing the city clerk from May to shall include at least three documents and then you list the documents I would propose keeping the shall include at least three documents proving residence, including but not limited to the ones that are enumerated and listed there. Not everyone will have three of these, but there may be other documents that can be used to prove residence that are not on this list. I wouldn't make this an exhaustive list. That's my first…”

“Right, which I think, you know, again, it's a great opportunity. I think that it is a result of a lot of, again, mobilizing advocacy and a lot of the work that we've done and that has been done in this commission. The other question that I had actually was, We're directing the city manager and the attorney to work with the commission in negotiating what we're going to be essentially contributing. But I just want to clarify that we're going to be doing that in the same manner that we've been doing this throughout the last couple of months where you are meeting with us because it is going to…”

“And then the last thing is, and I know I've spoken to our city manager and our attorney individually about how else we can put this forward and how else we can push this. And our lobbyists need to be very involved in this as well. So I'm hoping that we can also engage them in making sure that we have a plan for us to promote this and also ensure that we are speaking to the other commissioners as well. That's all. Thank you.”

And as I told the city manager, I'd like to speak with the gentlemen that are going to do the evaluation. And I would say that everyone here on the council also get the opportunity to speak with them as well. So I'm gonna do a motion to defer 6D to September.”

“So I just want to clarify a couple things. first of all originally this was a policy that i proposed because prior to this city council members weren't able to host events in city facilities and so i want to confirm that adding the rentable facilities to the policy Doesn't exclude us from using the non-rentable correct correct. Is that correct? Okay, so we we are able to use the multi-purpose room any of the Non-rentable rooms still that's not addressing this policy.
