“Yeah, go ahead. Mr. President, so first of all, Robin, thank you. You know, to get us to this point is just amazing. So thank you for your diligence and the work you put into this. But one of the things that was specific, and I went back and looked at the minutes, was the fact that we did want citizens to have to go to different places. One of the things that was shared is that they should be able to pick up this ordinance and know exactly where what the law states and what they should be held accountable for. So I do respect the fact that the law will change, but we need to be updating our…”

“Right. So so, again, this was about the fact that if I pick this up, I don't know Bo's law. That's exactly what our conversation was regarding. And so if there's something in here that lets you know something to the fact that what does that mean? But picking this up, just saying, you know, Section seven dash twenty one. review Bowles' law. That is exactly what we were trying to avoid so that they would be able to pick this up and know that the... Exactly what it was. That's exactly.”

“That's what we agreed on. So, you know, we're back here now saying something different, but that's what we agreed on. We talked about the fact that we shouldn't have to. If they pick it up, it would outlaw it.”

“First of all, I'm excited to see this. You know, when I look at these addresses, I think both of them are going to touch District 2. But I do have a question. So how is this decided? Like, was this decided like this is part of the service contracts and this is one of those, this is the area that was in the plan? Just trying to get an idea.”

“And that's helpful. Let me ask it this way, Matt. So, for example, like this is this service is being provided through a contract. But then I know that we have in-house that, you know, like I'm thinking about an area where the limbs have overgrown and they're over the street and so forth. So this is going to be taken care of through a contract. But yet I was told that we would have to wait for. you know, until that gets on the list for the in-house to take care of that one. Is there a difference? Like, is it that if it's a certain area, then we do the contract. If it's over here, then we do…”

And we have some great things happening. So I'm excited about that, but I do have some questions in terms of, you know, the focus and the goal of this.

“Thank you, Mr. President. First of all, Mayor, I just want to thank your staff. Last week or week before, I had an opportunity to meet with them and for them to brief us on the TIF and the plans and so forth. I got so excited that I forgot to ask some questions, but I think you've answered one of those questions.

“On that particular one, I'm requesting that we do a holdover for one week. I've asked legal to work with admin to get some questions answered. One in particular, I've had several, one developer and several residents to reach out, and it's regarding the fact that if we move to that T6 zoning, it would be the only building there that would be a T6, and the concern is that it would unravel the other areas impacted, basically. And if we want to go ahead and just do a full amendment, then that's what we would do. But we just need some more questions regarding the fact, why would we allow just this…”

“Mr. President, just to follow up, um, on councilman Reynolds point, the church buses that came about because we needed something smaller, right?

And just, um, And a follow up to that, and that would allow us to also look at other barriers like you talked about, you know, in terms of the weather, making sure that the conditions are in place so that we can ensure that they will take…”

“Mr. President, I want to first start off by thanking Public Safety for sharing with us last week some of the things that they're doing in the community. And Madam Vice Chair shared at that time, we really need to communicate more of that information. Recently, there was a shooting in the same area again. I think it was Rickaby area this weekend.
