“Yeah, I just wanted to clarify what I was saying about that. I don't really, so how do I say this? The NTSB will make a report. I don't really care what they recommend. Even if they don't recommend we have it, I still want us to get it if it's viable for us to get it. And of course, we're not directing you to shorten the runway. What we're saying is we want the long runway and the system as a redundancy if it's possible. And so I don't expect their report to say, oh yeah, go out and get this if no one else has it. I'm saying that I would be willing to go the extra step because five people…”

“And so by the way you said it, you said that it was complementary. So if it's complementary to it, that means what that tells me as a word is that It complements it. That means it doesn't change the substance of the thing that it's complementing. So just the word that you use seems to indicate that you could actually do both of those things. Now, if it comes time you can't do both of those things, then please come back for this committee or this board or inform our chairwoman. But my expectation is that if we can do it, if we can do it, then we should do that. Absolutely.”

“This was, I guess, to the chair. I'd be remiss if I didn't say this because I saw the little tweet thing about who's supposed to be speaking this press conference crap. So there is an expectation that I have that for this county. The first thing is that we always do things decent and in order. We're going to do that. We've existed for a long time the county with the sheriff is a part of the county proper. I like to call it this year still their own empty now and why understand that public safety is a thing. This is not exactly public safety. I mean, it is the same way that drinking water is…”

“We might have to actually actualize that. The charter is, I mean, I read it, but I won't make assumptions. I'll say that maybe we need to have a better understanding on a more granular level.”

“Because I think that I don't want that at a press conference anymore. I don't want that. And when people see that, it's a slow erosion in the confidence of the competence of government.”

“Mr. Chairman, I just had a question on AK1. I got my question answered, so I release it.”

“Okay. Let's just, Yeah, Senator Garcia, we should probably take a moment to address a couple of things. First of all, when folks say things like America first, the very first amendment, The Constitution allowed us to speak, and so that's why we allowed, and it allows you to petition your government. That's why we have procedures. When Commissioner Hardeman spoke, he spoke the way he did because at times we are so involved with what we believe, we don't understand that there are folks on the other side of this who could just believe something different. We can disagree. Civilly, we need to…”

“Well, the point of order is I just want everybody to be quiet. So he was speaking and making some great points.”

“And there's a lot of conversations you all, if you all could just, I know we haven't seen each other in a while, calm down so we can actually pay attention to the speakers. Thank you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is not as simple for me, and I'll support the district commissioner, but let's just be mindful that the housing affordability problem that essentially occurs because of supply and demand didn't happen overnight. It happened with a whole bunch of discrete single determinations. So if we stand by the principle that neighborhoods should never change in character and anything that's changed to character can't be built, then we lock ourselves into an affordability quagmire that's very difficult to overcome. And so I think that's why I promoted the RTZ and density and…”

“Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On, I guess, 5H, did we delete the requirement of dropping the lowest selection committee score for competitive procurements? Because that's one of the things I took issue with.”

“Okay, so you said yes, but the answer is no, it has not been deleted. No, OK, that's that's yeah, it's oh.”

“It's not been removed from the item. OK, so I I have an issue with with that first. It's one of the things that I think we put in recently because what we found previously we looked at procurements. is that sometimes there'd be extraordinary outliers. Not to say that anyone would do it on purpose, but it looked like someone was tanking a score for folks. And so the reason why we put that in there was because of that reason. And so I wouldn't be supportive of that. And also, on the sunset of the Small Business Enterprise Advisory Board, I'm okay with looking at that later, but it's my…”

“If it's withdrawn, I'm fine with that, and I appreciate you all being willing to still meet. But the reason why we have systems that allow things is so that we don't actually, it's not required benevolence of the administration or procurement staff to do it. So I think that it's kind of difficult for us to say we value our small businesses, but we're going to take out the requirement that we actually talk to them. And they actually meet and agree. So I think those are challenging things to say together. But those are my two observations, Mr. Chairman. That one item, dropping the lowest score.…”
