UH, WE NEED TWO MORE MEMBERS, AND WE KNOW THAT THREE FOR SURE ARE NOT COMING.
SO, UH, WE'RE TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE OTHER MEMBERS.
WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR ONE MORE, SO WE ARE STILL TRYING TO FIND ONE MORE MEMBER.
WHEN WE SCHEDULED THIS MEETING, WE KNEW THAT ONE MEMBER WASN'T GONNA BE ABLE TO BE HERE, BUT, UM, FOUND OUT TODAY THAT OTHER MEMBERS, UH, WERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT AS WELL.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, FIND THAT FIFTH MEMBER BECAUSE LEGALLY WE CANNOT HOLD THE MEETING WITHOUT A QUORUM.
UM, SO IF YOU CAN BE PATIENT, UM, I THANK YOU.
UM, AND, UH, WE'RE GONNA KEEP WORKING AT IT.
COUNSELOR ZE IS COMING TO THE RESCUE.
UM, HE HAD A PREVIOUS COMMITMENT, BUT HE'S GONNA JOIN US INSTEAD.
SO, UM, WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR HIM TO LOG ON.
OKAY, FOLKS, THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR NOT KNOCKING ON WOOD, UH, AND JINXING MYSELF.
UM, UNFORTUNATELY, WE JUST GOT A TEXT FROM, UH, COUNCILOR AZI THAT HE CANNOT MOVE HIS PREVIOUS COMMITMENT AND WILL NOT BE JOINING US.
THAT MEANS WE DO NOT HAVE A QUORUM.
UM, WE TYPICALLY WAIT 15 MINUTES, WHICH GIVES US ANOTHER FEW MORE MINUTES.
UM, WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE SITTING AROUND ALL DAY.
PEOPLE HAVE OTHER COMMITMENTS.
UM, SO WE'LL WAIT A FEW MORE MINUTES WHILE WE CONTINUE TO CALL OTHER MEMBERS.
UM, A COUPLE PEOPLE ARE OUTTA STATE, UM, AT CONFERENCES.
UM, WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN HERE.
THIS ALL CAME DOWN JUST BEFORE THE MEETING.
UM, THERE WAS NOT TIME TO NOTIFY ANYONE OR TO CANCEL.
UM, YOU KNOW, I APOLOGIZE AS THE CHAIR.
UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S EMBARRASSING.
THE COUNCIL CAN'T COME TOGETHER WHEN YOU ALL COME OUT OUTTA YOUR BUSY SCHEDULES.
UM, BUT WE CAN'T MUSTER FIVE PEOPLE.
UM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
UM, AND SO WE WILL WAIT ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES OR SO, AND THEN I'M GONNA, UNFORTUNATELY GOING TO HAVE TO, UH, CANCEL THE MEETING.
THE, THIS ORDINANCE DOES NOT EXPIRE UNTIL NOVEMBER 17TH.
UM, WE'LL HAVE, YEAH, WE'LL, WE WILL GO, I'M SORRY.
QUESTION ON THE PUBLIC HEARING.
SO, SO ESSENTIALLY IF, IF WE DON'T GET SOME, IF WE DON'T GET ANOTHER MEMBER HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE MINUTES AND WE HAVE TO CANCEL THIS, IT'S AS IF THIS MEETING WAS NEVER SCHEDULED.
WE WILL SCHEDULE ANOTHER MEETING.
THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING, JUST LIKE WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE TODAY, UM, FOR PEOPLE TO COME OUT AND, AND, AND, AND, UH, OR, YOU KNOW, TO CALL IN VIA ZOOM IF IT'S DIFFICULT TO GET OUT HERE AGAIN IN PERSON.
UM, WE DO HAVE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE THAT OPTION, UM, THAT WE, THAT, THAT WE OFFER.
UH, SO PEOPLE CAN, IF PEOPLE ARE, YOU KNOW, TAKING TIME OUT OF THEIR SCHEDULE, OFF OF WORK OR, OR WHAT HAVE YOU, ZOOM MIGHT BE MORE CONVENIENT, UH, THE NEXT TIME.
UM, YOU KNOW, AND AGAIN, I, YOU KNOW, UH, I APOLOGIZE, UH, EMBARRASSED.
UM, BUT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, AS I SAID THIS, ALL THIS ALL CAME DOWN IN REAL TIME RIGHT BEFORE WE WALKED, WALKED IN HERE TODAY.
SO TELL, SO WE WILL, UM, WE WILL REPOST, UM, FOLKS HAVE, LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF THE FOLKS WHO HAVE SIGNED UP HAVE INCLUDED THEIR EMAIL.
UM, SO WE'LL MAKE SURE WE TAKE ALL OF THOSE EMAILS AND I THINK WE WILL DIRECTLY EMAIL ALL, ALL OF YOU SINCE YOU TOOK THE TIME OUT TODAY TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, UM, WHEN THE NEXT HEARING, UH, IS SCHEDULED.
UM, BUT IT WILL BE POSTED, IT HAS TO FOLLOW ALL THE SAME LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
[00:05:01]
AS ANY MEETING YOU HAVE TO POST IT 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.SO, UM, IT WILL BE POSTED ON THE CITY WEBSITE.
WE'LL EMAIL EVERYONE WHO HAS SIGNED UP TO SPEAK, UM, AND THEN WE'LL, YOU KNOW, WE'LL PUT IT OUT THERE IN THE, UH, IN THE COMMUNITY AS BEST WE CAN.
UM, SO I THINK WITH THAT, UM, I'M GONNA CALL THIS MEETING.
OH AND OH, MADAM MAYOR, COUNCILOR MCGOVERN.
JUST WANTED TO, FOR THOSE, I KNOW I THINK YOU EXPLAINED A LITTLE BIT, BUT, UM, FOR LEGAL REASONS, UH, THE QUORUM, THERE HAS TO BE FIVE BECAUSE OF THE SUBJECT.
UM, IT'S A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE, AND SO IT'S THE LEGAL ISSUE.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE MOST OF THE, ONCE WE'RE HERE, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE THE MEETING.
YES, BUT IT'S THE, THE LEGAL ISSUE.
THE, THE FOUR, YOU KNOW, THE FOUR OF US.
