“Because we're not seeing it. To both of your points, I think what's important here is that... Do you see how we're having this conversation back and forth? It should be clear. There should be no ambiguity to a layman that reads this, right? Because laymen are in fact people who are serving in elected office. But we didn't draft this.”

“So we'll we'll we'll address that conversation later. And I agree with Commissioner Smuckler. I think the way we do it now is the way that it should remain. But when you're talking about capping specific to whatever that number is that you added for the mayor and for the commission, that was addressed with a COLA maybe about six years ago. And I think we need to also have that reflect in this document as well.”

“Yeah, I think if I may, discussion-wise through the mayor, I think part of validating the work that they've done is for us to put in our own work here on the dais, even if it does take a little while. We've already gone through the first portion of it, and we only have two more portions to go. So I feel like we should just... Hopefully we can get this done by 10 o'clock, but I doubt it. I know you, I know.”

“But I think part of, well, okay, so I appreciate your explanation that it's not about time. And I'm not saying that it is, but I think part of us validating their efforts is to go through every single item, especially for the edification of the public as well. Thank you.”

“There's two things, Mr. Mayor, because with respect to the mayor, there was a vote that was taken about doing it section by section. So I guess we can address your motion, Commissioner Chernoff, and then we can go back to what had been voted on.”

“Mr. Mayor, if I may. One moment, Commissioner. If I may, what we're reading here as charter language, right, is not specifically word for word what's going to be on the ballot. Can you either agree or disagree with that statement? I agree with that.”
City Commission · Jul 14, 2026
- Play at 2:25:31
“Correct. So can you agree with or disagree that if we do, for instance, in section one, decide that we want to see five things, that that can't be surmised within one ballot question. Correct. It can be, right? Yes.”

“So let me help out here. In my seat, if we're going to section, the first section, when it talks about 1.4 powers, I really, that section, I don't see the necessity. So in my seat.”
City Commission · Jul 14, 2026

City Commission · Jul 14, 2026
- Play at 2:28:02
“Yeah, I'm saying I disagree with it. I'm just saying in my seat. So 1.4, I disagree with changing that. I think that what we have is broad enough.”

“If no one moves to put a section on, there's no vote on it. All right, so real quick, I'm going to go to Section 2.1 as well, Mayor and Vice Mayor.”

- Play at 2:30:21
“Thank you. So that's how I feel about 1.4. So since you, Commissioner Hsu, since you said you wanted to.”

“So next item 2.2 are we saying that though that was one is next or you were coming on it. 2.1 already so item 2.2 we're already rotating every 4 months. I think that if we have it if we don't have it by ordinance that still 2.1 Sir.”
