OK, I got a motion. 00:02:36
And a second, I'll second it. We're going to have a conversation. Yeah, I'm good with it. 00:02:38
You have You want a discussion you can have. 00:02:45

Let's yeah, let's have a quick discussion on this. I mean, we've we work sessioned it, but yeah. 00:02:49
Open it up for. 00:02:53
Discussion. 00:02:54
Real quick. 00:02:56
I can give conversation to this a little bit. 00:02:58
David and I leading the RDA. 00:03:01
Subcommittee we were able to meet with. 00:03:05
David or sorry, Chris Harding. 00:03:08
The auditor on. 00:03:11
Friday or I don't remember the day. 00:03:13
We understand. 00:03:19
Yesterday. Yesterday. 00:03:20
OK, sorry. 00:03:22
Days go by so quickly. 00:03:24
He was able to give us context of everything that's going to be happening with the audit. 00:03:27
And the need for expertise. 00:03:31
Mayors also talked about the importance of financial modeling. 00:03:33
And all of these different types of contracts that are? 00:03:37
Or could. 00:03:41
Have some issues with. 00:03:42
And and in each specific contract. If you meet this, it triggers this. If you don't meet that, it doesn't. 00:03:44
And it'll give us some line of sight. So in meeting with Chris, he's going to be very instrumental in helping us. 00:03:51
Get the right expertise. This is a very. 00:03:58
Specific expertise that. 00:04:00
There's very few people that do RDA. 00:04:04
Financial Modeling. 00:04:08
Slash contract work and so this is just to. 00:04:10
Get that needed. 00:04:13
Experience and. 00:04:15
We just wanted to make sure that. 00:04:16
One he you know, Hey. 00:04:18
He recommended that. 00:04:20
They be in place with him and then. 00:04:22
That we could lean on him to help us find. 00:04:25
Not really interview but just like help us. 00:04:28
Post those positions publicly. 00:04:31
Because I know we want to make sure we get the best. 00:04:34
So this isn't something that's imminent. He's. 00:04:36
For the next two weeks. 00:04:40
Change in city manager and different things. So this is probably 3 to 4 weeks out, but yeah. 00:04:42
We're ready to go. 00:04:47
OK, so no changes. 00:04:50
Other comments. 00:04:53
Yeah, yeah. If this is a few weeks out. 00:04:56
Anyway, umm. 00:04:58
At the work session, I mean I shared a lot of my thoughts. 00:05:00
I still think. 00:05:03
This document has a lot of. 00:05:05
Coming back to. 00:05:15
Meetings and help the public understand what. 00:05:18
What the roles needed are what the? 00:05:20
Types of positions we're looking for? Are we looking? 00:05:22
Deliberate when we're. 00:05:29
Looking at potentially. 00:05:32
Hiring people long term I mean not hiring this. 00:05:34
Nearly, but. 00:05:37
This this resolution kind of. 00:05:38
Seems to allude to. 00:05:42
A longer term arrangement. 00:05:45
And so I just want to make sure we're. 00:05:49
We're in the right structure if it's just. 00:05:50
If we if Chris needs additional help. 00:05:53
Why don't we work in the scope of this? 00:05:56
Contract to. 00:05:58
Have these people hired on and he can select and. 00:06:00
A point with his. 00:06:05
Professional expertise or is this going to be like. 00:06:06
Staff that we appointed. 00:06:09
The board or. 00:06:11
The Council. 00:06:12
Again. And two. 00:06:15
I wanted to get that. 00:06:17
Snapshots also look at what the. 00:06:17
Hiring. 00:06:20
Three-part time people. 00:06:22
Which is. 00:06:24
Pretty substantial. 00:06:26
Given our. 00:06:28
Our current staff. 00:06:29
I think. 00:06:31
It's helpful and I think we definitely want to. 00:06:31
To do an in depth for. 00:06:34
View of authority history and get all of the. 00:06:35
The data that we're. 00:06:39
Looking for but I just want to make sure we're doing this in a way. 00:06:40
We understand the scope. 00:06:44
What we're getting into, we can. 00:06:45
Really pinpoint. 00:06:47
Are what exactly we're looking for. 00:06:50
Or if we need. 00:06:52
Additional forensic audit. 00:06:53
Direction or. 00:06:56
Whatever it is. 00:07:01
I think I think this resolution. 00:07:02
Doesn't quite encapsulate all of. 00:07:03
And I think it would be better. 00:07:06
For the public to understand. 00:07:08
What exactly we're doing rather. 00:07:09
This this is basically written as kind of a blanket approval to do. 00:07:11
Just hire three independent. 00:07:14
Contractors that can work up to. 00:07:17
The week. 00:07:19
Direction other than that. 00:07:21
We get to. 00:07:23
Decide who they are. 00:07:24
I just don't. 00:07:27
Agree with that structure I would like. 00:07:28
To take more time on this. 00:07:32
Actually get that information presented. 00:07:34
Mr. Mayor, thank you, Councilman. There turn the time to. 00:07:41
Councilman Larae. 00:07:46
Yeah, is a. 00:07:47
Mr. Nair's comments were made. 00:07:49
He expressed this these same opinions at the previous meeting and they were discussed and and weighed by the Council as that was. 00:07:51
As that's the case. 00:07:58
I call for the question. 00:07:59
OK, all righty. So I have a second by me. 00:08:01
A motion, yeah. 00:08:05
We already have a motion and 2nd. 00:08:08
OK, let's do all in favor. 00:08:10
Aye, aye. 00:08:13
