OPEN A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE FOR AUBURN CITY COUNCIL VERGENCE 27 -- COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING FOR MAY 17.ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS FOR THOSE MINUTES IF

>> SPEAKER: SECOND. >> SPEAKER: MOTION AND SECOND.
[3. CITY COUNCIL MEMBER APPOINTMENT – WARD 4. Mayor Anders.]
MINUTES CARRY FORTH. THE ITEM ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT THE PRIMARY ITEM IS THE APPOINTMENT OF A WARD FOR REPRESENTATIVE THAT WILL TAKE THE PLACE OF BRETT SMITH AS YOU CAN SEE IS NOT HERE WITH US AND IS MOVED FROM AUBURN AT THIS POINT IN TIME. AT OUR LAST MEETING WE DISCUSSED THE PROCEDURES FOR DOING THAT AND I WANTED TO ASK THE CITY MANAGER FOR CLARIFICATION TONIGHT.MS. CROUCH, IT IS BY THE LAW THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE FIVE AFFIRMATIVE VOTES FOR THIS NOMINATION, CORRECT?
>> SPEAKER: THAT'S CORRECT. THAT IS IN THIS PARTICULAR FORM OF GOVERNMENT IN A CLASS SIX CITY, 1143 A SAYS YOU HAVE TO
HAVE FIVE AFFIRMATIVE VOTES. >> SPEAKER: AND THAT'S IMPORTANT TONIGHT AND I. MISSED A PERSON WITH THAT HE IS ON A FAMILY VACATION AND SO WE HAVE SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL HERE TONIGHT. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD THAT. I ALSO MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNCIL AND IT WAS JUST A RECOMMENDATION THAT THE PERSON WHO SEEKS THIS OFFICE SHOULD NOT BE A PERSON WHO PLANS TO RUN FOR THIS AWARD. IT WAS JUST MY INSTINCT AND I BELIEVE THAT IT GAVE THAT PERSON AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE OF WE WERE TO APPOINT THEM TO SERVE WARD FOR FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS SINCE EVERYBODY NOW PREPARES TO RUN FOR THE RACE.
RUN THIS RACE. WE DO HAVE FOUR APPLICATIONS.
I WILL GIVE THOSE NAMES TO YOU AND ALL FOUR OF THESE APPLICATIONS HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY DO NOT PLAN TO RUN FOR WARD FOR THIS SUMMER. IN THE ORDER THAT I RECEIVED THESE E-MAILS, PRINT BREEDER GREER, GREATHOUSE, EVEN PURDUE AND JENNIFER STEPHENS. I APPRECIATE ALL FOUR OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO SERVE THE CITY OF AUBURN FOR THEY HAVE ALL CLEARLY INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTION TO RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL DURING THE SUMMER. SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME WILL HAVE A REGULAR NOMINATING PROCESS.
NORMALLY MAYOR PRO TEM WITTEN HANDLES THIS BUT IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE I WILL BE THE ONE LEADING THIS.
I WILL MAKE A NOMINATION AND WE WILL TAKE OTHER NOMINATIONS AS WELL AND HAVE DISCUSSION AND THEN WE WILL VOTE.
>> SPEAKER: COULD GIVE YOU BECAUSE NAMES AGAIN.
I DIDN'T CATCH THOSE. >> SPEAKER: BRETT BEARD, RAY HUFF, ETHAN PURDUE, AND JENNIFER STEPHENS.
ALL OF THEIR E-MAILS WERE IN YOUR PACKET THAT YOU RECEIVED AS WELL. I WILL MAKE A NOMINATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE BRETT BEARD.
>> SPEAKER: SECOND. >> SPEAKER: SO WE HAVE A NOMINATION AND SECOND FOR BRETT BEARD.
ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS FROM THE DAY US?
>> SPEAKER: I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE RAY HUFF.
>> SPEAKER: SECOND. >> SPEAKER: YOU HAVE NOMINATION AND SECOND FOR RAY HUFF FOR ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS? ALL RIGHT. I WILL BEGIN WITH MR. BEARD AND WE WILL HAVE SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT MR. HUFF.
MR. BEARD HAS SERVED ON THE CITY COUNCIL IN YEARS PAST HE SERVED FOUR TERMS AND HE SELECTED AND DECIDED NOT TO RUN IN 2018.
I BELIEVE WITH THE SHORT TIME THAT THIS PERSON WILL BE SERVING THE CITY OF AUBURN, FOUR MONTHS, HAVING AN EXPERIENCED MEMBER SIT UP HERE AND GO THROUGH THESE DECISIONS IS ADVANTAGEOUS.
I ALSO BELIEVE AS WE APPROACH THE BUDGET TIME, WHICH IS COMING UP, WE HAVE BUDGET HEARINGS NEXT WEEK AND ACCOUNTS WILL BE POTENTIALLY LOOKING AT A FIRST READING OF OUR BUDGET AT OUR NEXT MEETING ON JUNE THE 21ST, HAVING A MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY WHO HAD DONE THAT BEFORE AND BRETT HAD DONE A NUMBER OF TIMES , IF YOU DO IT TWICE DURING A FOUR-YEAR TERM I GUESS HE HAS APPROVED EIGHT BUDGETS DURING HIS TIME OF SERVICE OF THE CITY PICKED THAT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS AS WELL.
THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITIES WE HAVE AS ELECTED OFFICIALS IS APPROVING THE MONEY TO THE TAXPAYERS GIVE US TO SPEND ON THEIR BEHALF.
IN OUR COMMUNITY. I BELIEVE MR. BEARD COULD BE A GREAT ASSISTANCE TO THAT SPIRIT DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE A COMMENT THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ABOUT MR. BEARD?
>> SPEAKER: I ALSO SERVED WITH MR. BEARD AND DIDN'T ALWAYS AGREE WITH EVERYTHING HE SAID, BUT WAS A VERY HONORABLE MAN VERY HONEST. PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT AND DETAIL INTO THE BUDGET PROCESS AND I WAS ALWAYS IMPRESSED WITH THE WORK HE WOULD PUT INTO THAT. WITH EVERY BUDGET WE WOULD REVIEW. SO I THINK HE WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR THE SHORT-TERM.
>> SPEAKER: THANK YOU, CHIEF DAWSON.
WOULD ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK FOR MR. BEARD?
>> SPEAKER: I WILL. I THOUGHT IT WAS A DECENT IDEA TO BRING SOMEBODY OUT OF RETIREMENT THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY NOTION OF GOING FORWARD FOR TO BE HONEST WITH YOU I HADN'T CONSIDERED THE IMPACT THE BUDGET WOULD HAVE THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS. I THINK THAT IS A SOLID NOTION
[00:05:03]
THAT SOME EXPERIENCE THERE WOULD BE QUITE ADVANTAGEOUS.SO THAT IS A GOOD POINT. >> SPEAKER: THANK YOU, JAY.
MR. HUFF, MR. DIXON I THINK YOU MADE IT NOMINATION.
YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY?
>> SPEAKER: YES, I SPOKE WITH RAY HUFF OVER THE PHONE A COUPLE OF TIMES ABOUT THIS FOR HE IS THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT PERSONALLY REACHED OUT TO ME AND I WOULD SAY I HAVE KNOWN RAY FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I THINK HE IS SERVED AUBURN IN MANY DIFFERENT CAPACITIES OVER THE YEARS.
I THINK HE WOULD BE A GREAT CANDIDATE AS WELL.
>> SPEAKER: ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MR. HUFF?
>> SPEAKER: YES, MISTER HUFF ALSO REACH OUT TO BE IS THE ONLY ONE AS WELL EXPRESSING AN INTEREST IN THE JOB.
HE EXPERIENCED BUSINESSMAN AS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH BUDGETS.
OVER THE TIME. HE HAS BEEN ON MULTIPLE CITY ACTIVITIES AND BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND WHATNOT AND AGAIN, HE HAS EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN SERVING FOR THIS BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME AND I ENDORSE HIS NOMINATION.
>> SPEAKER: THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE?
>> SPEAKER: I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM MR. HUFF BUT I DO FIND HIM TO BE A VERY GOOD MAN WHO DEEPLY CARES ABOUT THE CITY PICKED BUT I SIMPLY GOING WITH THE EXPERIENCE THAT I THINK WE NEED FACING THIS BUDGET PROCESS.
>> SPEAKER: ANYTHING ELSE? >> SPEAKER: I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY, NEITHER CANDIDATE REACHED OUT TO ME, BUT LOOKING AT THE LETTERS THAT THE -- I WAS ABLE TO READ THEM.
I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH MR. HUFF'S RESUME.
SO HE IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT I WOULD SELECT HIM AS THE CANDIDATE WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AND LOOK AT HIS RESUME.
NEITHER CANDIDATE IS OUT TO ME. >> SPEAKER: OKAY.
MS. CROUSE, DO WE DO THIS BY VOICE VOTE OUR HAND VOTE?
PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL? >> SPEAKER: THAT IS YOUR ALL.
WE LOOKED UP EVERY TIME IN THE 25 YEARS I'VE WORKED FOR THE CITY WHEN WE HAVE DONE AS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN DONE AT COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE AND PLEASURE OF THE COUNCIL TO WHEREVER YOU WISH.
>> SPEAKER: WE WILL DO THIS BY HAND FOR WHO WILL START WITH THE ATTRIBUTES OF HE WAS THE FIRST WERE NOMINATED.
ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE OF BRENT BEARD PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.
AND ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE OF RAY HUFF PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.
THAT IS FOR STEEPLES FOR MR. BEARD, THREE VOTES FOR MR. HUFF, THAT IS NOT FIVE. SO MS. CROUSE, WHERE TO GO FROM
HERE? >> SPEAKER: STATE LUCKILY SAYS YOU MUST HAVE FIVE. SO YOUR CHOICE IS, COUNCILMAN PARSONS IS MY UNDERSTANDING HE WILL BE BACK IN TOWN HE IS ON A LONG PLANNED TRIP FOR THE JUNE 21 MEETING.
WHILE THE STATE LAW TAKES A CLEAR YOU ARE TO DO THIS AT THE VERY NEXT MEETING, YOU CAN'T DO IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE FIVE VOTES.
FOR ANY ONE CANDIDATE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE LAW SAYS.
>> SPEAKER: I HAVE A QUESTION. WHAT ARE OUR PROCEDURES IF WE WANTED TO RECONSIDER ONE OF THESE TWO NOMINEES?
>> SPEAKER: RECONSIDERATION IN YOUR COUNCIL RULES IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN ROBERT'S RULES. COUNCIL RULES SAY RECONSIDERATION IS ANYBODY WHO IS IN THE MAJORITY, AND IT DOESN'T SAY WHETHER IT WAS FOR OR AGAINST OR NOT FOR, HOWEVER, IT IS ANYBODY FROM THE MAJORITY CAN ASK AT THE CURRENT MEETING OR THE VERY NEXT MEETING FOR THE COUNCIL TO RECONSIDER.
>> SPEAKER: SO THEN I WOULD BE IN ORDER TO ASK FOR A RECONSIDERATION OF BRENT BEARD SINCE IT WAS 43 VERSUS THREE TO
FOUR. >> SPEAKER: THAT'S CORRECT OR JUST DURING COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ANOTHER REGULAR MEETING FOR WE WILL NOT CONFUSE THOSE TWO.
>> SPEAKER: BASED ON THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A DUTY TO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FOR WORD FOR AND THAT BOTH CANDIDATES OR NOMINEES ARE VERY VIABLE CANDIDATES, BUT ONE HAVING SERVED IN THE PAST AND HAVING SERVED WITH A LOT OF GRACE AND DIGNITY AND POSITIVE REPRESENTATION FOR THE CITY, I WOULD LIKE THIS COUNCIL AND HIS BODY TO RECONSIDER BRENT BEARD TO TAKE THE POSITION OF WARD FOUR OF FOR THE INTERIM SIMPLY BECAUSE AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, HIS BUDGET EXPERIENCES, WE HAVE BUDGET HEARINGS A START ON THE 13TH, WHICH IS NEXT WEEK. AND WE THE 21ST.
IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE VOTED ON ON THAT DATE, HOWEVER, WE HAVE A DUTY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE PASS A BUDGET IN SHORT ORDER AND A BUDGET THAT IS WHAT WE FACE A MAJORITY OF OUR DECISIONS ON TRICIA I WOULD LIKE THIS BODY TO AT LEAST RECONSIDER TONIGHT GOING AHEAD AND FULFILLING OUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO THIS CITY AND ESTABLISHING A PERSON WHO HAS ALREADY DEMONSTRATED THAT
[00:10:03]
THEY KNOW THE PROCESSES. I WILL SAY, BRENT AND I SAT TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE FOR YEARS AND THEY THERE WERE A LOT OF TIMES WE DO NOT AGREE. EVEN BEFORE I WAS ON THIS COUNCIL THERE WERE MOMENTS WHEN I DID NOT AGREE WITH BRENT.BUT I DO THINK THAT HE HAS REPRESENTED THE CITY WITH DECORUM AND GRACE OVER HIS TENURE.
I WOULD JUST ASK THAT WE TAKE CARE OF THIS ACTION THIS NIGHT AND DO THIS RIGHT FOR THE CITY CREEK SO THAT WE COULD HAVE REPRESENTATION FOR WORD FOR WITHOUT A GAP.
>> SPEAKER: SO THIS POINT IN TIME, MEGAN, THAT WOULD BE THE ROAD HE WOULD TAKE WE WOULD NEED AN OFFICIAL EXPECT THAT IS A MOTION THAT SHE HAD JUST MADE SO YOU NEED A SECOND.
>> SPEAKER: TO HAVE A SECOND? >> SPEAKER: I SECOND.
>> SPEAKER: WE HAVE MOTION AND SECOND FOR ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE RECONSIDERATION OF MR. BEARD?
>> SPEAKER: I THINK WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT TO TRY TO COME TO A RESOLUTION TONIGHT BECAUSE THE BUDGET PROCESS IS LOOMING OVER NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER I DO RESPECT IF SOMEONE FEELS VERY STRONGLY THAT THEY WANT TO CHANGE THEIR VOTES, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MEGAN WHAT HAPPENS IF MR. PARSONS COMES
BACK AND IT'S FOR THE FOR? >> SPEAKER: WELL YOU HAVE AN INTERESTING DYNAMIC WORK WE HAVE AN ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINION FROM 1985 THAT ALL IT SAYS IS YOU NEED TO DO IT IN A TIMELY MANNER PERSUASIVE GET OFF TONIGHT AND THEN YOU DO IT IN A TIMELY MANNER, WE HAVE IT IN OUR RESOURCE HAVEN'T FOUND A TIME WHEN IT WAS TIED. I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT, I HAVE ASKED THE QUESTION OF OUR ATTORNEYS AND WHAT I WOULD SAY IS I GUESS SHE WOULD BE SITTING WITH HC SO WHEN ALL EIGHT OF YOU ARE HERE THERE ARE TIMES YOU COULD BE FOUR DASH FOUR TIME THE OBJECT OF AN ODD COUNCIL AND TO MAKE YOU DON'T HAVE TIES
CONDUCTED CITY'S BUSINESS. >> SPEAKER: I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING. IN ORDER FOR ME TO CHANGE MY MIND, AND I HEAR THAT YOU KNOW THIS GUY BRETZ, I DON'T KNOW HIM, HE NEVER REACH OUT TO ME. I AM LOOKING AT THE RESUME AND RAY HUFF WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT SENT A RESUME THROUGH THE E-MAIL THAT I HAVE RECEIVED, EVERYTHING.
SO I KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM JUST THROUGH HIS RESUME, WHERE BRETT I JUST SEE HE SENT A LETTER OF COURSE YOU SAY HE SAT ON THE COUNCIL BEFORE, THAT STILL DOES NOT MAKE ME KNOW HIM.
SO I JUST THINK THAT IF HE WAS INTERESTED IN ALL OF THE COUNCIL MAYBE GETTING TO KNOW HIM THAT MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE REACHED OUT TO ALL OF US. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.
>> SPEAKER: I WOULD LIKE TO INTERJECT THERE.
I THINK THAT IS A DISSERVICE TO SOMEONE WHO SERVED 16 YEARS TO JUST DISCOUNT THAT THEY DIDN'T REACH OUT FOR BRETT DIDN'T REACH OUT TO ME EITHER AND I DON'T THINK THIS IS A POPULARITY CONTEST. THIS IS A DUTY TO THE CITY AND BRENT SERVED ON THIS COUNCIL THROUGH AN IMMENSE PERIOD OF GROWTH AND IN A TIME WHEN THIS CITY HAS EXCELLED IT IN A LOT OF AREAS AND FINANCIALLY STABLE DECISIONS WERE MADE UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP. THAT IS OUR BIGGEST PURVIEW IS ENSURING THE FIDUCIARY STABILITY OF THIS CITY.
AND SO I SAY NOTHING WRONG OR NOTHING ILL ABOUT RAY HUFF TRICK I THINK HE IS AN OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL.
BUT FOR ME IT COMES DOWN TO THE CONFIDENCE OF KNOWING THAT IN THE SHORT ORDER AND INTERIM THAT ON THIS AND I AS WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS UP TO SPEED, READY TO GO, CAN MAKE DECISIONS AND WASN'T CONTROVERSIAL AND CAN SERVE WITH GRACE AND DECORUM.
>> SPEAKER: RENT HAS BEEN A LOCAL BUSINESSMAN FOR A LONG TIME, HIS WIFE HAS TAUGHT IN OUR SCHOOLS AND RETIRED FROM AUBURN CITY SCHOOLS. HE HAS RAISED THREE CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY. HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON THIS COUNCIL AND AS BETH SAID, HE WAS HERE DURING A TIME OF EXTENSIVE CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY.
HE IS VERY WISE WHEN IT COMES TO THESE BUDGETS AND NONE OF THIS IS GOING TO SURPRISE HIM. HE WILL UNDERSTAND THE DOCUMENTS AND HE WILL KNOW WHAT QUESTIONS TO ASK.
HE IS GOING TO BE PREPARED TO WORK ON THESE BUDGETS.
BUT I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND, CONNIE, YOU DON'T KNOW HIM SO YOU WANT SOME REASSURANCE. I SAT WITH HIM FOR SIX YEARS AND HE MADE SOME HARD-NOSED DECISIONS BUT THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. BUT HE SHOWED A LOT OF COURAGE AND HE WAS VERY COMMITTED TO HIS WORK AND WHAT HE WAS EXPECTED TO
DO TO REPRESENT HIS WARD. >> SPEAKER: MAYBE I NEED TO ACTUALLY SAY TO THE COUNCIL PERSON WHO JUST MADE THE STATEMENT ABOUT THE POPULARITY PART, IT IS NOT ABOUT BEING
[00:15:02]
POPULAR, BUT WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW SOMEBODY YOU JUST DON'T KNOW THEM. SO I REALLY WOULD -- YOU SAT ON THE COUNCIL WENT AND SAW NO REASON FOR HIM TO REACH OUT TO YOU. BUT FOR THE ONES WHO DID NOT KNOW HIM, I WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT IDEA FOR HIM TO REACH OUT TO THOSE PEOPLE TOO PIG IS NOT HIM BEING MORE POPULAR BECAUSE HE IS ON THE COUNCIL, BUT JUST ALL I HAVE ISTHE RESUME. >> SPEAKER: WE VOTE ON PEOPLE FOR ALL BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT A LOT OF US DON'T KNOW THEM WELL AND DON'T REACH OUT TO ALL OF US.
SO I JUST FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE I JUST THINK IT IS A DISSERVICE TO DISCOUNT SOMEONE'S 16 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITY WHO IS WILLING TO WAS WHO DOESN'T COME WHO VOLUNTEERED AND PUTS HIMSELF OUT THERE TO HELP US THROUGH A GAP WHICH WE DIDN'T EXPECT TO
HAVE. >> SPEAKER: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE CITY MANAGER. THIS PERSON WILL SERVE FROM NOW
UNTIL WHEN? >> SPEAKER: NOVEMBER 7, WHICH IS THE DAY THAT WAS IT IS UP UNTIL THE TIME WHATEVER ELECTED COUNCILMEMBERS FROM THAT WARD ARE SWORN INTO OFFICE.
>> SPEAKER: SO THERE IS AN AWFUL LOT MORE BUSINESS FOR THE CITY TO CONDUCT BETWEEN NOW AND THEN OTHER THAN HIS BUDGET.
>> SPEAKER: NO QUESTION. >> SPEAKER: AND THE BUDGET PREDOMINANTLY IS THE PRESENTATION BY THE CITY MANAGER BY LAW YOU PREPARE THE BUDGET. ALTHOUGH WE SCRUB IT TO SOME DEGREE, IT'S NOT LIKE THERE IS AN AWFUL LOT OF CHANGES EXPECTED BASED ON OUR PARTICIPATION IN THE BUDGET REVIEWS FOR MY EXPERIENCE IN THE LAST ONE. WITH THE REDISTRICTING, MR. HUFF NOW REPRESENTS A PORTION OF A SET CITIZENRY THAT WAS NOT IN WARD FOR AT THE TIME PREVIOUSLY. IS THAT CORRECT?
>> SPEAKER: THAT'S CORRECT. >> SPEAKER: THAT IS CORRECTED I BELIEVE HE WAS IN WARD FIVE LAST TIME.
>> SPEAKER: NOW WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO WAS LIVING IN WARD FOUR, NEW RESIDENT FOR WORD FOR FAMILIAR WITH THE CITY SO AGAIN I
STRONGLY SUPPORT MR. HUFF. >> SPEAKER: ANYONE ELSE? I AM THANKFUL UNDER THIS VERY UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCE THAT FOUR CITIZENS FROM AUBURN, FOR QUALITY CITIZENS FROM AUBURN WANTED TO BE PART OF THIS. I APPRECIATE ALL FOUR OF THEM REACHING OUT TO ME AND RAISING THEIR HAND AND SAYING I WILL DO THIS. IF YOU WANT TO CHOOSE MATRIX I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR EVERY ONE OF THESE PEOPLE.
WE WILL TAKE A HAND VOTE AND THIS WILL BE FOR THE RECONSIDERATION OF MR. BRENT BEARD.
ALL AND FAVORITE OF MR. BRENT BEARD PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.
WE ARE STILL AT FOUR. SO THIS WILL CARRY FORTH TO THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE OF THE 21ST.
>> SPEAKER: IT WILL, BUT THERE IS AN ITEM ON THE REGULAR AGENDA AND YOU WILL NEED, I WILL INTRODUCE IT AS REQUIRED IN YOUR PROCEDURES AND RECOMMEND THAT YOU MOVE TO POSTPONE SINCE YOU DO NOT HAVE FIVE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE FOR ANY NOMINEE.
SO I RECOMMEND YOU OFFICIALLY POSTPONE IT TO JUNE 21 UNLESS YOU GUYS WANT TO CALL A MEETING SOONER THAN THAT TO DEAL WITH IT. THE CITY ATTORNEY IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU MUST DEAL WITH THIS ON JUNE 21 JUST BASED ON FOLLOWING STATE LAW FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION I REFERENCED SAID IN A TIMELY MANNER. SO TIMELY MANNER, YOUR 21 DAYS AT THAT POINT OUT FROM FORMER COUNCILMAN SMITH'S RESIGNATION.
>> SPEAKER: OKAY. SO COUNCIL ALL UNDERSTANDS THAT.
[4. QUESTIONS ON THE AGENDA. City Manager Crouch.]
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE AGENDA FOR THE CITY MANAGER AND I KNOW CITY MANAGER WE DO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL AGENDA ITEM.>> SPEAKER: MAYOR, YOU SHOULD YOU PICK THERE IS A MINOR ADJUSTMENT THAT IS BEFORE YOU FOR OTHER BUSINESS.
THE JANUARY 2015 MINUTES AND IT JUST, IT INADVERTENTLY SAID IN A MOTION COUNCILPERSON GRISWOLD HAD MADE AND HAD BEEN SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN PARSONS, IT SAID THAT THE MAYOR ASKED IF ANYBODY HAD ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION ON COUNCILPERSON KELLEY GRISWOLD'S WAS THAT'S WHAT THE MAYOR SAID, GRISWOLD'S AMENDMENT BUT IT ENDED UP IN THE MINUTES THAT YOU ADOPTED IT AS PARSONS AMENDED FOR THIS IS NOT A SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE BUT THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS RECOMMENDED THAT ANY CHANGE TO THE MINUTES BE APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL SPECS WE WILL HANDLE THIS AS WE HANDLE
RESOLUTIONS. >> SPEAKER: IT WILL COME UNDER OTHER BUSINESS BECAUSE IT WASN'T PUBLISHED WITH THE AGENDA PICK I WILL INTRODUCE IT AS NORMAL AND ALL OF YOU HAVE A FULL PACKET IN FRONT OF YOU. IT IS A VERY MINOR CHANGE BUT
NEED YOUR APPROVAL. >> SPEAKER: OKAY.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE CITY MANAGER?
IF NOT, IT MOVED TO ADJOURN? >> SPEAKER: SO
