So let me ask this then. I don't know if Jason can stay the whole time, so shall we allow Jason to give the updates on the two add-on requests?
So that one, the one reading. Yeah, you got it.
This is a lot of moving parts, and we're doing a couple waves. No, I didn't sit next to Marilyn for a reason. And I'll say it during the public meeting as well, but... There was many times where I just, these past few weeks where I just sat and I was like, what can I do? What can I do? But to watch this team, the team that you, have right now, and then the neighborhood teams and these other organizations come in was truly inspiring and very humbling. And I cannot thank all of you enough. I know that you lost time with family. You lost time at home. And how many of you put? put the rest of the…
And with that, we've also started getting notice, at least I've been receiving calls, that there are unfortunately individuals who are using this as an opportunity to take advantage of some of those who have been harmed. And if you are getting, make sure you're getting a couple quotes when you're having work done. And if you are hearing a quote and it's very egregious, there are numbers in which you can report I do not have that number on me right now, and I will try to get it before the liaison report, but that we are notifying and making sure that we are holding those who are being…
And with that as well, I think what I would love to see as we get to the other side of this, Just a debrief and even one that we can present to the public too, like lessons that we've learned and plans in place as we move forward. Because this is, I know we say this a lot, but this is a first but not the last. And as we head more into these extreme climate changes in all the seasons, we're going to see many things. And so I think that there's a lot we can take from this as we plan, especially when we head into the budget season. So thank you.
So I don't know if we can go, if anybody else has questions. This is where we saw some numbers not line up correctly last time. And so I think as we start to unpack, I think... When it comes to what we need to approve tonight, is this before? Because I'm not on the agenda necessarily for approval. What is the legal process for us? Is this way to the budget? Do we get it then or?
So I think for me, all the processes, as I'm trying to dodge the sunlight that's getting really bad right now, it was just getting a little... I wasn't sure where they fell, knowing that we have the meeting with PFM next week. So I think... This is just the formality of the presentation.
And then just making sure that we, just so we know where it's going to be captured. Thank you. Appreciate it. Any other question on any other agenda items before we get ready to go into the meeting?
Thank you. And then do you know if we'll be able to get some of that information prior, just so we can start? Absolutely.
Thank you. Well, if there are no other questions, we can go ahead and get ready to go into our main meeting. And just as a reminder, because I'll say it again, we have our study session, but then we also have the housing town hall next week as well.
At this time, we will stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, led by a moment of silence, or followed by a moment of silence.
Yes. At this point, I'm going to go ahead and we're going to go a little bit out of order, but I'll pass the mic over to Mayor Devlin to go ahead.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
So at this point, I'm calling for a motion to waive the rules to add that contract to tonight's agenda.
At this point I will call for another motion to waive the rules to add the contract that Mike will read.
And then just to explain to the public what happened is those two contracts were not on the agenda. In order to have them on the agenda, we needed the majority plus one to approve to add them. Those will be not written on the agendas that you have, but they are now under essentially new business with the contracts that we're going to be going through. So that way we are not delaying any of the work so that the city can continue to do the work they need to. All right, now back to the regularly scheduled program. We do not have any presentations tonight. Do we have anyone here for a request for…
Unfortunately, only if you, the rules of council are that you can speak for five minutes, so if someone else would like to take over the presentation, they can do that.
Thank you. If you've spoken, can you just make sure you are signing in, please?
Can you just state your name for the record and just move that mic down so everyone in the audience can hear you. I'm sure. There you go. Thank you.
So I think Council Horton was providing some information that might be able to help with some of the other things that might not be covered by insurance. But we can follow up after so that we can allow public comment to continue. I apologize. Thank you.
Actually, this is the time for public comment, and we don't go back and forth right now.
Thank you. Is there anyone else here to speak on public comment? Anyone else for public comment? Anyone else for public comment?
Thank you. Anyone here or anyone else for public comment? Anyone else for public comment? Anyone else for public comment? We will go ahead and move on to the next part of the agenda.
Prior to calling the vote, I just want to take a moment. We've done this process now three or four times this year. And I just want to, again, take a moment to publicly commend the process that we have witnessed and unfolded with this specific project. We've heard from many residents that they have felt heard. Any question that we as a body have asked has been answered. And I do think that this was an example of when a project is working well and it is including the community and incorporating community input, this is how it rolls out. So as we go into the vote, I just wanted to be on record…
I would call for the motion to move the balance.
