“Everything that I had brought up to you, you had a rebuttal to every single thing. I knew exactly what your legal opinion was going to be based on what you told me that day. And so I'm just confused by this entire situation. I honestly am confused. I know that this entire situation has really raised a lot of red flags for me. I know that it has made me distrust this entire process that we're going through right now. It has divided our council and I'm sorry. I can't say that I fully trust your legal opinion on this. I don't. I think that we're heading down the... I think this ordinance…”

“Thank you. Since we're talking about hypothetical lawsuits, can we get sued from the people that live in Lee's Summit or that have to have a court date? Can we get sued from one of them for failing to provide... basically an essential service. Failing to provide an efficient essential service. Zacharias? Would the city get sued? The city, yeah. Can the city get sued? Because we are failing the people that live here. Can we get sued?”

“Okay. Can somebody, if we fail to provide due process, can somebody sue the city? They can look back at this meeting, see that we are failing them. Can they sue the city?”

“Absolutely, they do. So the answer is yes. So there is just probably as much of a likelihood of us getting sued for that as we would be if we were trying to fix the courts because there are a lot of very upset taxpayers in our city that could very easily bring a lawsuit against us for not trying to fix the courts. So, I mean, I think it's a 50-50 wash at this point. Let's just try to fix the courts. But, okay, thank you.”

“I do think that with such serious allegations that were in that anonymous letter, who states honesty is the best policy and then wants to remain anonymous, but I do think that we should allow our judges to at least address that because that letter was read publicly and I feel like those allegations were serious. So would you be okay with them quickly addressing the allegations in that letter? Well, I mean, and I know this clearly is not going to pass tonight. It's not going to move forward. But I think that I feel like they should be. Thanks.”

“I mean, I'm for it. I'm frustrated, and I don't have, my confidence is low. But, I mean, we've got to do what we've got to do. So, thank you.”

“Well, I have a question. Sure. Can we also include the rest of the court staff in this task force? So we can discuss there and fix the whole courts? And then, so what's the point of rushing it when we have people that clearly do, that will not, we're not gonna pay them more. I mean, we're not gonna allow them to be in there more and compensate them for their time. So what's the point in rushing this when the conclusion's gonna be the same? We need to pay them more. We need them in there more days. But it's not going to go anywhere. I mean, that's been proven. So, like, what's the point in…”

“So at the end of the task force, the goal will either be changing our mind and saying, okay, you're right, let's do it at election, or changing their mind and saying, yes, something needs to be done immediately. Otherwise, we're still going to be at a standstill. I don't want to waste anyone's time when it doesn't sound to me, people can say all day, I'm willing to fix this. We just had a solution to fix it, and it didn't get fixed. I'm I'm for the task force. I don't want to waste anyone's time when I feel like. I mean I can read body language up here right now and it's not. It's not good…”
