“Yes, thank you, Mr. Mayor, and I thank everyone for coming out tonight. I believe that there's a lot of information that has been said. Some of it may be true, some of it may be false. For the record, again, tonight is not an approval of any type of agreement. We have not been privy to those negotiations that we've authorized the professional staff here to perform, so we still have that information to come to us to have a vote in the future. Again, I think there was a lot of misinformation in some of the discussion that was had earlier. I'm not the smartest mathematician up here, but the way…”

“I'll second her motion with a comment. I too am really impressed with all of the applications.

“But there's still some there's some detrimental thing that's sticking out to these vendors that they don't want to do business with the city. We have to figure that out. And that's not only staff's fault. That's us as well. We all need to dig into it. Kind of like what I'm doing with the electric utility. If somebody would like to take that animal on, please.

“Thank you, and I appreciate Councilwoman Avila's comments. I, too, agree that maybe we haven't put our best foot forward when it comes to getting public comment. I know we have put some things out there on social media. I haven't seen a lot of feedback. I've asked neighbors for input, and a lot of them don't really have any type of input at this time. I think what we might ought to do is have one more additional workshop between now and and the second reading to try and get more public input on what they want to see. Ultimately, I see all the benefits that this provides. There's still some…”

“council fletcher am i on the left oh no yeah yeah we'll do fletcher and then you you're on my right anyway yeah so i kind of looked at this similar to how we did the last couple of items similar to this and Again, they've taken their time, but they have come into compliance, and I believe that it's up to us to make the final decision on whether or not we're going to help reduce that or not. My feelings are that they've substantially bettered the location from what it had been, and we should look at reducing the fines up to our maximum allowable amount, which I believe is 95%.
