This is super petty and technical, but you're suggesting March 30th and not the 31st?

There hasn't been a motion. Where are we?
It's okay. Anybody like to make a motion on item 11B, the ordinance amending our code for a legal sufficiency?
Moved by Councilor Randall and seconded by Councilor McLaughlin to adopt ordinance 261429. to amend our municipal code for legal sufficiency. Is there any more discussion? All those in favor, please say aye or raise your hand. It's quick. Mr. Mayor? Oh, sorry. Read it by title.
Council Richardson was asking for some opinions to form some sort of consensus, and I don't think he.
Okay, my apologies. I had it right here in front of me. Is there anyone here on the council that would like to have the ordinance read in its entirety? No. Would the city clerk please read the ordinance by title only?
Motion has been made. However, before we vote, I would like to ask any member of the public to come forward if they have any opinions about this particular ordinance.

No. Okay. I personally do like the format. I think it's great. Easy to understand. Right. Any other comments?
Thank you. Any comments or questions from the council for our city manager? Just a comment from me. I would characterize this whole thing as very ambitious. And I think we certainly, you know, certainly the council's had a lot of input, but we wish you a lot of luck in getting most of all of this achieved through the next year.
Yeah. Sorry. Three years. I forgot about the format, which I was just complimenting you on the format, which was very clear about a three-year plan. Okay. Any other comments?

Therefore, you haven't already please take a few moments before you get up to speak and plan and time your comments to make sure you fall within the three minute limit.

Present. Item three is the pledge of allegiance. Would everybody please stand and join me in the pledge?
Thank you. Item four is approval of the agenda. There's only one, I know there's one small change. Our executive session will have nothing to do with labor negotiations, but we will be going to executive session for the other item that's mentioned on here, which is an evaluation of employment performance. Okay, is there any other discussion on the agenda? All those in favor of approving the agenda, please say aye.

Item 5A is not going to happen tonight. We couldn't get everybody together. So we're hoping that we'll get the recognition of the Dallas robotics team, which did so great at the national conference or the national competition, I should say. They really did another great job. But we're not able to get all the kids together and the coaches. So we're going to put that off until hopefully the next council meeting.…
