“But that's already locked in. Yeah, we already signed that. Even if this passes or not, it doesn't matter. Right. Okay, that was my only question. So I'm going to stick with the three years.”

“That's correct. Thank you. No, just a comment, if I may. Listen, let me be very frank here. Regardless of what others out there may think, this almost passed the last time it was on the ballot. Listen, it means a lot to me, but not to me. I'm not going to be living here, but for the future of this city, Uh, new people that want to run, they won't have to raise like now 30, 40, 50, $60,000. I was out raised all three times in my run for district one. And we, you know, thank, thankful to the Lord. We were successful and others. Um, I just think it makes it easier to run. You don't have to walk…”

“Thank you. You're welcome. Yeah, I would like to make a motion to this, and I agree. I think December 7th, because it's for everybody going forward. It doesn't affect anybody currently serving or who has served.”

“Yeah. Then the other thing I'd like to do, Madam Mayor, I don't know. To me, I mean, I like it. I I don't know about an eight-year waiting period. I think four years is enough because we already have term limits, right? District one, you can run. You can run again for re-election, as I did. You could then run for a third term that's already in the charter, correct? Right?”

“Okay. And then it's not affecting the scenario. I'll use my own. Well, it wasn't a scenario. It was reality. I ran in 2010. I was successful. I served a term. I didn't run for my seat again in 2014. I ran for my seat again in 2018 based on advice from others. And we were successful, so that wouldn't matter either. I think that's been fixed, actually, here. It only applies to consecutive terms, right? We spoke about that. So I'd just like to make a motion to drop the eight years to four years. I think that's plenty of time, because I don't want to disenfranchise the electorate. I think a…”

“Yeah, Madam Mayor. Yes, sir. Thank you. Yeah, this was really the one item that I had a big issue with. I mean, I'm trying to get people, recruit people to run for office. And then when they're in office to stay, I mean, it's not easy up here. We're not a homeowners association. So I don't believe this should go on the ballot. and I hope others would concur. Thank you.”

“Well, then just change the word right here, this amendment with council oversight. You don't have to say with council approval. Say with council oversight. I'll make that motion and vote for it. I mean, if it passes.”

“With... You can... I mean, with council oversight, and then in five years, whoever's here can determine whatever that is. What is the oversight? I don't know.”

“I'll say, again, my main concern here is that we're hamstringing future councils, two councils from now. I don't want to be the one making the decision now that manipulates the future.”
