“Right. I mean, board, you're free to deliberate on what you guys like. I'm not, you know... I'm one of five, so you know, if everybody wants to go on a fasting program, and it's good with Matt, you know, eating a 10-minute break, grab a snack out there, and then come. I don't think a snack's going to do much for my board member here.”

“It's open for discussion. The other board members feel any way? For, against, however you want. For? For adjourning. Okay. Well, I mean, we can call a roll, but we got three votes, so I don't think we're...”

“I think we got it settled. So I think at this point, we will be adjourning. That's the will of the board. And what I would ask is both sides to proffer their availability so that we can continue this. We'll have one witness, the record will show that we have one witness, the director of the department, left by the city. After that, the employee will be able to cross, then it'll be open to the board on that witness, then we'll go into closing statements, and then we'll deliberate. Unless a settlement happens between now and then. But in the meantime, if you guys wanna agree on a date that you…”

“I would recommend it off the record, but yeah. I don't know where you're working in their protocol, but pretty much anywhere.

I don't know if you guys want to proffer dates here. Do we take that offline and they just communicate to settle the date? Well, right here. Okay. So is there...

“Will it take not as long as this, at least? I mean, I think from what we've heard, I think we can get a commitment. We got about an hour from this witness. We got about the time that it takes us to cross, or not cross, you cross. We ask questions and then closing statements. You said you need about 45 minutes. I'm assuming yours might be more brief. So I would say about three hours, would that be fair? That's about an hour and 45, giving about another hour and 15 if we have to deliberate.”

“City, can you help indicate if there's something that he would want to proffer? He's open to a settlement. Is that something that the city's closed off to?”

“Can he be given directive if he wants to profit? What is the right channel for him to at least properly document that he's open to sitting down and settling this? What's the proper avenue for him to do that?”

“Perfect. So with that, you have that option. I would say board, we canceled the board meeting. He says he's available the 7th. Does the 7th work for the city and your witness?”
