I think those are the stories we can take a look at with the newspaper today. Thanks again, Mr. Kolowale for Stephen here with us. Yeah, thanks for having me. Okay, so all the papers we've seen so many headlines, but about two or three papers talk about the reaction to the grazing roots for cows that President Mohammed Buhari ordered last week. States are saying it to set the country on fire. Others are saying there are no grazing roots in the estates and dead the federal government to show them where they are. So where do you come in with the story? Yeah, honestly speaking, I will try and marry three of those stories together. They weren't coming from Kuala Lumpur, saying that the democracy is standardized for if not what is impacted today or if not what Nigerian expect. Then I will relate that with the President's speech during this democracy. That's almost a very fundamental pronouncement that he made especially with regard to the grazing roots. He also talked about the security in that speech. They don't mention as a dwarf when I watched the President's speech on television and also read the details in the paper and I've read it more than three times and no other. Only in those adult speech, I was from Nigeria.  I felt sorry for the entire 200 million Nigerian people. Because the speech in my humble opinion is actually deletion that it is not a mirror of reality. It's like the President is not in consciousness was what is on Ghana in contemporary Nigeria. Say for example, the grazing roots. Most of the grazing, the gazettes, most of the law on the grazing roots were made by the corona master when they were here. And most of those gazettes actually applied to the northern parts of the country, not to southern Nigeria. And under the time that those laws or those ethics were missed, the population of Nigeria wasn't 200 million. Gazettes are not as close to weight as they're close to there. The population of us mean, it's close to know what it is to be. And besides that, in a land in Nigeria, it's too misguided in the government on that I use decrease. But the President went and said he wants to revive the grazing roots. This on the level was made in the 50s and the 40s by colonial masters and all that. I'm saying, I don't think so. All the land that you find in Nigeria today because of optimization and what are you, have been taken over by optimization. Say for example, from the Paterson Lagos, all the lands on the Paterson Lagos have all been bought. So for the President to be saying that it's possible that he's going to revive the grazing roots and all that, and reclaim those lands from those who have imposed on them, will not make. That is practically impossible. And he doesn't even start the interest of the Pula Niasme. Why do I say so? Most of the kidnaps, as I said, most of the Pula Niasme who have been arrested and all that, their basic complain is that look, you didn't send us to school. The country that we also drive all over the country doesn't belong to us. It is some big man that's fighting our own those cattle. We are many employees of this people. So, the President should be thinking of the sedentary agriculture of ranking in which the Pula people who are serving in the particular place, water, and fodder to feed the animals. So we'll be provided, and then they'll be able to go to school. So that they can end with more than a budget. But the President is not looking at it that way. He's thinking of also revising the grazing roots that were created in the 40s and the 50s when Nigeria's population and desert encroachment and water here has not been like this or has not been as big as this. I know of one of the grazing resorts in Nevada, for example, at the time it was even the federal government that compared it to an aero truck. And when the federal government built a big air force in Nevada, they relocated, and I'm located at the aero truck. I was like, they share the land among the rest. Is that what they're going to reclaim? Or I'm just gonna call it. The second one is that the President is saying that the government is secure their respective states. Is that possible? When the government cannot give another to the Commissioner of Police to do certain things without clearance from the Secretary General of Police? And the Secretary General of Police himself would have to clear from the President and the Commander-in-Chief. And you will recollect, when the attack on goodness is first started, another, the President told Nigeria that he gave the Secretary General of Police another to go to pay me and restore, and restore normalcy in there. The Secretary General of Police, they didn't go to pay me a speech. And nothing left of it was left by Sanjay. Nobody gave up an explanation. Why the Secretary General of Police declined all the views to pay the order of Mr. President? All right, Mr. Kolaoli. If we have left the government in this kind of dilemma, how do you expect them to solve the security challenges in their respective states? All right, can you hold on? And we also know that you can hold on, Mr. Kolaoli. You need to give up your lot of money. Yeah, can you hold on? Yeah. Because of the time that we have left, I want us to also move into other things. This morning, there's kidnapping in Zaria once again. And of course, there's a story on rising food prices. It's on the Tribune this morning. It says food prices soar, push more Nigerians into poverty. Quickly share your views on that one. The President, of course, had stated on his Democracy Day speech that they had lifted 10 million Nigerians out of poverty. But if you look at what the situation is on ground and how much food prices have increased, a lot of Nigerians can't afford the basic food items anymore. Well, one should not be surprised that the criminal state has become the author of kidnapping and insecurity. And I would think, in my own good opinion, that the governor of that station is irresponsible. Go and check the statistics. Since he became governor, the number of people that he has returned, the number of houses that he has left here, he has destroyed, pulled them. And also the salaries of people that are not being paid. When you take a part of their job, when you destroy people's homes and all that, of course, there are children, if you have nothing to eat, and I need to take to banditry. And apart from the issue of banditry, it will tell you as a long term or the other, pay some money to some, this is not ready to pay again. And it says inflammatory things. Take the care of the legal state people. Just when the president came around India, we saw the number of vehicles, we saw shoppers, we saw scooters, we saw AK-47s as the legal state people, securities transform. And both are not going to use to equate the legal police and other security people. We also know that the paychecks are now empty, so this policeman will be able to do the necessary things. They are also insured again. As well as the governor of the Cabinet said later, kind of effort to quiet the insecurity in there. He is capable. With regards to the prices of food items, he shouldn't be surprised there. Just yesterday, a lady friend of mine called me and said, look, he sent somebody to the market to buy pepper. And when the party came back with the $31,000 pepper, when the party came back with the $1,000 pepper and other, you and the OCE was shocked that the amount of pepper that the person brought is equivalent to what they used to buy for $50 in the past. And this is basically because most of the farmers can no longer go to their farm because of insecurity. You remember all those farmers who were slaughtered in cold blood, in porno seeds, and what is furniture they did, they said, look, they didn't take care of them from government before they went to their farm. So when you are nigh and go to our offices to do our work, we need to inform the nearby police, give you, that we want to go to work. It should provide security cover. Is that the way things are done? Furthermore, too many things ought to have been done. All these insurgents started eight days or 10 years ago. One of it, one of the very fundamental, is a war industry. All over the world, any country where there is war, a war industry is just a spring up. But because of corruption, money that we could invest in agriculture in the society and other, we are using to import the K-47, we are using to import bombs, grenades and landmines. When Bukwaram are producing all those insurgents, I am also feeling that the Mose Muto turn into some of these other families around the country and be reconfigured to be producing most of the hands and ammunition that we are using to fight this war. The only thing we should really import today to fight the war against Bukwaram is airplanes and attack helicopters, and the country is bleeding. Put them away when the country's resources is dwindling. When money that we expect is dwindling is dwindling. What most countries used to do, where the leaders are put on their tanking cart in Athens. They would direct their energies into agriculture. Because once you are able to provide food for the people and order, the problem is if it is then solved. Then you cannot begin to address other things. When last, go and see all the agricultural the first institutions. In the past, a percentage of local government in commissivity deported to find cattle, and fed cows, seedlings, and all that, that are given to farmers are very, very cheaply. They hire those cattle to clean their land. You just buy petrol, diesel, to power those cattle. And the local government will send in the land. Mr. Kolawale, apologies. I wanted us to quickly talk about the story. Over the weekend, it was all we could talk about the democracy day celebrations, the June 12th protests. And we know that the protests have been set to continue today in some parts of the country. And Femmi Falano here has been talking about the arrest of protesters, saying it's illegal, and that the police need to apologize to protesters. What do you think about this situation? Oh, absolutely. Femmi Falano is saying the obvious. And remember the case of people here, which platform, for the moment, was run for the presidency, and sector general police. There was a time in which they were arrested and a warrior went to court to challenge the arrest of the police from preventing them from carrying out protests and deposition. And the Court of Appeals, we don't rule that voters and politicians such as we saw this last week, is an in and in agreement with the Fundamental Human Rights, provided for by the United Nations Charter, Africa Charter on People and Human Rights, the Nigerian Constitution. It was Charter on People and Human Rights. But President Buwariyan-Kwaf also uses Charter to their own advantage to demonstrate against President Gulochongata when he was in power. So why is he now on lawful for Nigerians to demonstrate when all the laws are cited clearly that people should be allowed to demonstrate and know at least when they feel a guilt about anything? You know, a decent society, a rational society, a society that doesn't want anarchy, and know that would achieve such, by only putting in the rule of law, free press and also protest and demonstrations. When the street is thinking, you let the government and the people in power know. But here we say protest and agitation are on lawful. So in a way, we are encouraging people to carry weapons, to carry guns, to begin to challenge government programs that is antithetical to their existence. So I agree with Charter Falana and we lawyer, we have already formed a team for all the people that have been detained as soon as they go to the zooms on Tuesday, who will be in proper challenge to be able to show the rest of the position of these people. And we also go to the petitioning the United Nations and the International Criminal Court about the criminal activities of the people in government. So after when they are out of this government, any time they stop at the court, they can be arrested and brought to court. And they kind of send their term to the format chief of air staff, army staff and one of you, in which immediately they retire, they give them a diplomatic passport so that they can be used to arrest them, the staff of the country, who will process and will present after happening. Okay. Okay, Mr. Tunde Calawale, I think here's where we draw the curtains on off the press. Thank you very much for your time and thoughts every time and off the press. Thanks for having me. Thanks for having me. Okay, so we'll take a break here and we'll return to tell you what happened today. You have a lovely day. Oh yes, bye. We'll return to tell you what happened today in history and we'll talk your business and the economy.


Every saint of God, every saint of God has been called to a vocation, has been called to a vocation. Some of you have been called to be teachers. You were the labor in that vocation to the glory of God.  You've been called as a teacher in your status, in your identity as a slave of Jesus Christ, and you are to serve the Lord Jesus Christ in that calling. There is no secular and sacred dichotomy. There's no split between those two. For the Christian, those things are completely and entirely intertwined and mingled.


4. Main Driving Forces in the Classroom. Motivation refers to a psychological process that gives purpose and direction. Motivation in the classroom helps students to be interested in learning. It's a process involved in the arousing and orientation of someone towards achieving a given goal. As a teacher, motivation in the classroom has a lot to do with my personality. I have to be a role model, a good leader and a good example for the students to follow. I have to listen to each and every student with keen interest, making sure I understand them and give them the attention they deserve. I'll also need to apply discipline as well as compassion. All this will help to maintain and ensure self-confident within the students. In addition, there are certain things to take into consideration to better motivate a classroom. I have to know the likes and dislikes of the students, their age groups and levels as well as their understanding capacity with respect to the language, beginners or semi-beginners, etc. Motivation in the classroom can be done in many ways. Steps important for positive motivation. Motivation is essential in the classroom. Some of the steps to use include the following. 1. I'll need to build a rapport with the students. This is because students who've had a strong relationship with the teacher, are more likely to engage in the learning process and show interest in the lesson as well would like to participate often. 2. Besides, I have to equally open up about myself to the students. Discussing my likes and dislikes, thereby making them understand I am equally interested in certain things just like they do too. 3. As a teacher, I have to prepare a lesson that would engage the students. Making sure the lesson is not boring and also bringing in some aspects of humor and fun, as well as making sure learners take turns in the classroom.This can be done using devices, music, and games to boost classroom activities. 4. Moreover, I'll also give students the option to choose. While learning, some students are faster and smarter than others. It's therefore good to pair weaker and stronger students to enhance learning. It's also good to let students participate in a way that is convenient to them while taking note of minor faults and eventually provide corrections. 5. Additionally, I'll need to provide a positive environment for the students. A positive environment entails avoiding hash words, high tones, been gentle and soft on my manner of presentation and coordination. It's good to also have a smiling face too while in the classroom. 6. Furthermore, I'll need to be eliciting and rewarding. Eliciting from the students helps bring in their opinions about things. Rewarding encourages students to know they're doing good especially after participating. This includes giving praises and compliments like you're wonderful, great, and even a high five. This helps boost the students' self-esteems and encourages learning. It's good to promote mastery over performance goals. Classroom motivation can be influenced by two main reasons. Types of motivation. Classroom motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation is that which comes from the inner mind of the student's individual interest. When the student learns because he or she enjoys the lesson in the manner in which it's been delivered by the teacher. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, is when the student learns due to external influence. This could be by gaining reward from the teacher or family relatives or influence from group or classmates. There's also the use of competition as a means of motivation. However, it has some setbacks. Some students will emerge as winners and others as losers. This might demoralize those who lose. The reward form of motivation also got its own setbacks too. Some students will concentrate more on what they stand to gain rather on the lesson itself. However, irrespective of the setbacks, motivation in the classroom is essential. It enhances communication and understanding. It directs behavior towards a particular goal. It helps and encourages a student's choice as well as increases their personal efforts in the classroom and learning process. Do you want to learn more strategies? Take a TEFL course. Conclusively, it's good to always elicit from students. Students are good learners and like to follow examples from their teachers gestures or behavior. I need to be a good example and influence in their actions, behavior, and gestures. Students' motivation are influenced differently with respect to interest and activities. Motivation in the classroom drives much behavior and plays a great role in the learning process. It involves goals and requires activities. It helps students demonstrate and improve their competence as well as enhances understanding. Motivation in the classroom helps retained information taught and making the learners wishing for more.

Hi everyone, happy Thursday. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. We've got a quick little two box break coming out, the 2019-2020 Penina Contenders Optic. Pick your team number, Jackie Robinson, number 42. And if you bought at least two teams, you saw the instructions right here. You got a chance at the Pelican. So let's flip over to the big thanks everybody. Thank you for getting in, appreciate that. Now if you bought at least two teams, alphabetized by your first name, you got a shot at, you got a shot at entries for the Pelicans. Now, Brian bought 11 teams, 10 of those count for the purposes of the promo. That's five entries. You buy even number of teams, half of those become entries for the Pelicans. Dave Barrow's got four, that's two. Eric Kay has two teams, that's an entry. Matt Lieber bought four teams, that's two entries. Sean Maddock bought four teams, that's two entries. And Sumyn bought four teams, and that's two entries. So let's snag all these names, put them into this list right here, and it'll be the name on top after four, three and a one, after four times, gets the Pelas in this quick little break. One, two, three, and a one, fourth and final time. After four, we got Sean Maddock on the top. There you go, Sean. Now, let's see if these two boxes cooperate with you. Let's sort by column B, let's print, and there are the two boxes right there. Remember, we marked these P, it's kind of, you can kind of tell it says PYT right there, so you know it's from the same inner case. We've got another two boxes in the store right now. I think we're already halfway there on another quick little two box break. Yeah, we're almost halfway there, down to 19 teams. You want to get that going. I would just go to jaskyscasebreaks.com and just buy the two cheapest teams right there, just to see if you can snag the Pelicans in this break. Looks like the December 22nd MBA restart is expected to be approved. Basketball, back before historic slams, there's Steph Curry, cracked ice for the Warriors. So that Donovan Mitchell goes to Matt and the Jazz and the Steph Curry goes to Summon and the Warriors. Here's the final printout right here. We got Red Jimmy Butler, he was pretty red hot in the playoffs. That goes to Dave Barros and the Heat. There's Malcolm Brogan Orange for the Pacers. That's gonna go to Sean. It's to 49, 47 out of 49. All right, and the auto behind, Colin Sexton will go to Brian and the Cavs is his teammate, Kevin Porter Jr. Nice, great upside for this kid here, Kevin Porter Jr., an on-card auto. Looking nice for Brian Foster and the Cavs. There you go, Brian. All right, that's it. There's Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets, Brian. We got Uniformity, Pascal Siakam, Raptors, Sean. Couple more behind Balezzo. There's Silver, Brandon Ingram. He won the most improved player for this past season. That's for the Pelicans, that goes to Sean Matt. I kind of wish my Lakers kept him. There's Fred Van Bleet, although I think he's gonna be a restricted free agent. The Pelicans match that offer, I don't know. Anyway, I don't know if Brandon Ingram would work well with LeBron and AD anyway. There's Eric Bledsoe for the Bucks. That's gonna be for Eric K. And we've got for the Sixers, Al Horford, MBA Inc. Brian Foster with the Philadelphia 76ers. They got a new front off. They got Daryl Maury up in there. Doc Rivers, it's 80 out of 120. Could be a breath of fresh air for the Philadelphia 76ers. Maybe really unlock the potential of that team. There you go, quick little break. We got another two boxes in the store right now to chase this guy, John Morant, Tyler Heroes and whatnot, and all the other big rookie names. So thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye.


Bemidji School Superintendent Dr. Jim Hess is getting ready for retirement. A celebration party was held yesterday in his honor. Dr. Hess has been with the Bemidji School District for 14 years. Over that time he's received several awards and started numerous projects and programs to help the district. Some of the personal highlights including help students transition into life, into the workforce. I'm certainly proud of the things that we've done in Bemidji working on the students first program where we pair a student with a community success coach and the work that we're currently doing in our Bemidji Career Academies Program where we're aligning students and the courses that they take in high school with post secondary courses and a business or industry partner. Hess says all of his best memories revolve around the students and helping them reach their potential. When asked what he hopes for the future of the district, he says he wants Bemidji Area Schools to keep preparing students for the future and look at each student individually. All of my memories revolve around students and the great things that they've been able to do over the years working in Bemidji Area Schools and the other school districts prior to this time. It's been a great opportunity for me to reach out and touch the future. Hess says he is looking forward to retirement although he will miss working with the kids and his staff the most. His last day will be June 30th. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.

t idea, my thought would be, and I think it's something that have a unique skill set to be able to do. It would be first trying to spell some disinformation and then try and help people understand what the city plans about, what we're trying to do, what we might do. And then have an open discussion on a regular basis. That kind of segues into our committees a little bit for me. Because one thing that I wrote down as, and I have some ideas about committees, but one thing that I wrote down as a possible committee to consider in relationship to city plan 24, et cetera, was, and there might be another way of doing this, but some idea of having a climate champions committee, specifically a group of people that get together on a regular basis talk about how to advance the climate issues, whether it's creating incentives or programs or challenges or whatever to get the issue of changing the way we're living our lives to improve our resiliency and our effort to mitigate climate, to give it a format where people could actually really be working on brainstorming. How do we make this integrated into the fabric of our community instead of just something that's floating around the committees? So I thought I'd throw that out. One thing we talked about was perhaps repurposing and or expanding the charter of the energy committee to be the major energy and climate, right? That would feel natural, but I know that's for the next topic. If I could make a couple of comments. I have to say I struggle a little bit because we all bring unique backgrounds and expertise. I do worry if any one of us would present ourselves on an expert on something to take on the mantle of informing the community on behalf of the council. And it's no slight against your specific comment Andrew, but I mean, I have unique expertise in the healthcare field, but I don't feel like it would be my role as a counselor to talk about healthcare benefits for our collective bargaining units of the city or to talk about the cost of healthcare. I feel like I'd bring that to a deliberation, but I think these are all good ideas. And I think maybe Jesse, you touched on something that maybe we should agree as a group of counselors or individual counselors of what we're going to pilot for a period of time and report back on what the successes were, what the challenges were, things like that in terms of engaging the community. And I think it's a two-way street and a lot of it is what's the agenda? Is it to access voices and feedback that we don't often hear or is it to communicate out initiatives or imperatives or projects or goals, things like that? So I know I'm looking at some of the recommendations I'm making with more of an emphasis on accessing voices we don't typically get at our meetings. So that would be one thing. The second thing in my mind is I think we have a unique opportunity with our steering committee meetings that are held with the school board and with city council. We've done this in the past and we just got away from it during the pandemic, but potentially holding those at schools in the neighborhoods so that we have another touch point with a neighborhood. And that can be a draw to a different section of the community that we don't often access. And then I know I brought this up in a question to Jesse that she responded back on, but it's also, I think the way the council might present a uniform voice to the community and it's twofold. One, it's how we respond to messages we get from community members. And I don't think this has been council practice in the past, but I know with the school board, we really delegated to the chair to respond to community members, if only to say we're in receipt of your communication or we've passed it on to our city manager to respond, but on behalf of the council. And that might be true also when we get press releases highlighting the great work of some of our departments as well on behalf of the council. So I don't wanna put that on your burden but there's a timing sensitivity too of we had a requirement that there be a response back within 48 hours in my former life on the school board. So I do think rather than have the potential of creating a lot of emails on the same topic, I wonder if that's something the council might wanna consider and can potentially consider delegating that if Tim, that's not something that you would choose to do. On behalf of the council. That's all that was a lot of stuff but I've been thinking about it since we. So I could just gain back the clerkship. Thank you very much. Different one. Barb is raising her hand. Oh, Barbara's service wants to say something. Hi Barb. Hi, how are you? When are you? Good thanks. I've been listening, driving in the car to this conversation and just got home in time to, because I have no idea how to raise my hand on the phone. As somebody who lurks watching the city council a lot, I personally think the kitchen cabinet idea has some dangers to it. But the idea of coffee with a counselor or something like that, I think leaves it open for people who have an issue to come and say, can we talk about this? And it's a little more, for those of us who are not always there but sometimes have an issue and I know how to come to city council and speak about it but some people may like sort of the more intimate if you will group of six or eight people sitting around coffee. I would be based on some of our recent experiences, my perception of those. There might be a tendency for some significant lobbying to go on that would be hard to sort of navigate. And so I'm just tossing that out as a thought from somebody who just was listening to the conversation and thought I'd throw in two cents. Thank you. Thank you, Barb. Anybody else? I would like to throw up a big yellow caution flag. I heard something about coffee with the council. That would have to be warned. Any time you can, the whole council or a quorum of council members cannot sit around, it is a meeting because they're meeting with the people it's an unworn meeting and that's illegal. So I think there are a lot of good ideas there maybe but be very careful how you structure them. I think we were talking about coffee with a counselor, just one. Well, if that was it, I misheard it. I thought it said coffee. Yeah, one of you, two of you. I'm not buying three of you can do it, but it's too many counselors that, you know the price I cover coffee these days is just and if we just remember, you do have a budget. If we do ever have a quorum, it's very easy to get it warned as a Saturday meeting or whatever. But I welcome all this discussion and the brainstorming and we're all doing it sort of, we've been thinking about it. I think all of us for a while and we're sort of flushing these ideas out. But I think, as I think Jesse said, it's similar to what we heard from earlier about your initiative here to, through your initiative, you're gonna be trying to find out how to connect. I think basically what we're all here talking about is how do we connect and to get those additional voices. And I think whether it's one or two of us meet and again, it's about the time. If it's during the working day, it works for me, but I know it doesn't work for probably the vast majority of the people we're trying to reach. So I think we have to at some point reach out to, I'm willing to do it on a weekend. I know it's a big ask, but if it's something that we even rotate and share every month someone takes it on whether in one or two groups and report back a little bit about the committees. I mean, or we can try any and all of these ideas. I'm not opposed to any of the ideas as long as the information all comes back and we all benefit from it. Because the goal and the intent, I think what we all have is how to inform our decisions to feel that we are reflecting in our decisions, the most balanced way, the largest good and create the greatest good for the very diverse community we have here. So maybe, I mean, I don't know, someone has to consolidate all these ideas. Do we do these individually or will this be reflected in the minutes? Or Jesse, do you do in your team want to say here are three, four or five guys to sign them or how do we, or Tim, you know, the guidance on how do we take these collected different ideas to the next level? Yeah, I think that if it's an informal thing and you want to organize it yourself, if Jesse is fine with that, I think that's fine. There are lots of meeting venues around the city. I mean, informally, the library has some spots, but you're gonna have to find out ahead of time whether they're taken or not. Some people have gone to Panera in the past and said, I'll be there from noon to one in the past and they've met people. But getting around the different parts of the city I think is important, right? Getting to those neighborhood areas. As a way to start, I think we are kind of gelling around this idea of coffee with a counselor, at least trying it for a little bit. If folks want, so that's something we could easily, you know, do up a little news item for in city news and put out in front porch form.  We can put together a little schedule of those and put it out through city news and from porch form and do tour three and see how they go. Does that make, and then if you want to advisory groups or climate chats, you can try that as well. I'm gonna try an advisory group just cause it's something that I think would be useful to me that I'm interested in. Elizabeth, I like your idea about having somebody who is designated to make sure a response happens to any correspondence we have, but I wanna make sure that if correspondence comes in that is particularly of interest to anyone counselor that they still feel totally open to adding to that response. And I think that each counselor is gonna receive their own correspondence as it happens depending upon where you live and who you know. And that will then trickle up. And at some point if there has to be a council response it could either be the be an agenda item or it could be something that then directs through Jesse and comes back out. And just Jesse when someone sends to the city council you see that, right? So if it's an operations matter we don't need to follow that to you, you see it already. That's correct. So the city council at South Burlington email address is it goes to us, the people around this table. Yeah.  This is my opinion on the rental registry and I leave that to you all to take in however you would like. If it's a purely operational question we absolutely respond to it. And I will always say something like the council has asked me to, I'm in charge of operations the council has asked me to respond, blah, blah, blah. My perspective is that for the political ones as Lori said, I mean sometimes I've felt like I wanted to say something and sometimes I felt like I didn't but I think we should all have the freedom to say what we think or not or not say anything. Yeah, I think because I didn't know what past practice was with the council I just wanted to make sure people were getting a response so that they felt they were heard and they knew if their request was forwarded on to someone and I just didn't know that with some of the emails we've started to receive. And there is a little bit of lack of cross communication there because I mean if you reply yourself nobody else knows you reply to that person right now. And so there could be five responses going to this one person. They might all be different opinions, right? Just be aware of that, right? And the person will probably pick the person they'd like the response back and pursue that. So do you wanna move on to the council liaisons agenda item now? Item 11, which is discussion of committee structures and appointment of council liaisons. So this is forgive my slight combination of issues here but two different part agenda item. The first is on our, so the council establishes policy committees, right?  You have the power to convene or change or alter or dismiss a policy council at any time. Both in the city plan and in the FY24 policies and strategies there was a conversation about realigning or considering realigning committee structures to meet the vision and goals of the city plan. So staff is prepared to do some of that work and align our committee structure with the goals of the city plan but we don't wanna spend a whole lot of time if you as the appointees of the committees are very wed to the structure we have now.  We're happy to hear any input you have on that structure. And our real goal would be to think about with this eight year plan, how are we best leveraging the great volunteer minds of our community to achieve those goals and are we doing that as efficiently and effectively as we can both with the volunteer time and the staff time. Obviously our volunteers and our staff put a lot of time into supporting the committee work so we wanna make sure it's done effectively.  I've got some ideas. Let's start out with a splash, why not, right? One thought that I have in terms of alignment with the city plan 2024 is I mentioned at our last meeting that I thought that the Parks and Rec master plan and the bike ped master plan should be developed in conjunction because I think that they are really intertwined or should be intertwined. And I was wondering if it would make sense to develop a parks recreation and active transportation committee that really is focusing on how do we become a more active transport community? How does it tie in with our recreational facilities and how does it tie in with our bike ped facilities and our parks? And that might eliminate a committee, but the other thing I think would be really useful if we do that might be to develop a transportation committee, specifically to look at the two biggest issues we have for climate right now are transportation emissions and house heating and cooling. And if we had a transportation committee that was specifically focused on how do we actively change our transportation model in our city to reduce the number of single occupancy trips taken and increase both active transportation and other transportation systems. So those are two thoughts to throw out as you're thinking about reorganizing committees. I didn't know with the earlier conversation we were having whether there would be use in having a community engagement committee that was really looking at how do we bring our community into not just engagement around how we run our city but also more community centered activity and engagement to build cohesiveness. And I mentioned the idea of climate champions doing something that really can create some positive energy around how we come together to really make a difference and what we can do to energize our residents so they're not just feeling like, oh, this is being pushed on us and we have to do it but this is something that we can really build community excitement around. That's it for now. And those are great ideas. I just want to temper expectations because there is a finite limited resource in terms of staff time. Okay, so in terms of increasing number of committees, I would not be in favor of that at all in terms of consolidating committees that have similar objectives or could create similar objectives together and that would be favorable in my eyes. And I think we have a lot of committees that have developed over time from legacy situations and those situations may have changed by now. So that committee may have reached sort of the end of its initial charge and it could be folded into some other committee at this point. And so I'm looking to the city manager to come back with some suggestions for that. I agree with that increase in the number of committees but I was thinking of other things. Yeah, I'd like your idea about transportation. I don't, you know, these are all these ideas and you know, we have a new city plan, right? So energy, right? Energy, energy is a lot of things, right? But energy also speaks to efficiency, right? How efficiently can you get from point A to point B? Are you in a car? Are you an e-bike? Are you walking? Are you bicycling? How safe is it, right? How are you heating your house, right? Are you generating power? There's a lot of intertwined issues there, so. But this is the type of thing that you may want to suggest to us unless other people have it. I mean, I could say, say, expanding bike pad to be broader, bike pad and other efficient means of transport getting away from single occupancy. And I can see then refocusing energy to be more on thermal. The energy committee to me, you know, focusing more on thermal. So kind of focusing those committees a bit more on the two major things. Otherwise, there's a lot of overlap, right? With the energy committee thinking about transportation and bike pad, thinking about transportation. Who really owns it? You know, maybe like defining the ownership structure a little more clearly for those two separate pillars of how we tackle climate. But if you've brought in it, I mean, it all comes down to how you want to broaden it because you can also define transportation as I would agree, bike and pedestrian. But then you also throw in the green mountain transit. You also then throw in the airport. So should there be the integration of transport writ large, including the school safety, basically they're all interrelated. They're basically handing the baton to one to the other. So perhaps there is a way to find the same thing. Affordable housing, the housing trust is there. Is there potential overlap there? So I think if we have fewer, I would agree, if we can even get to a fewer committees, we can almost do more, I think. A little more focus. More focus and also just, you know, always struggling for volunteers. Everyone can always make it. We're doing it. So if we have a smaller, a greater number of people concentrated on a smaller group of committees, we may be able to have more consistent output without overtaxing people. Yeah, I think personally, I would look to Jesse and your team to sort of make those recommendations because you kind of know the scope of the current committees. One thing I didn't see in the crossover between current committees and I don't know if it's perceived to be in here and groups associated with the city plan as governance. So I guess they'd want to look at the list we have and if there's a recommendation to redefine those to make sure we haven't lost anything. But consolidation I think makes a lot of sense. Can I ask a question on that? When you say governance, do you mean governance of the city or governance of the committees or like this kind of conversation about engagement and how you all interact? Well, specifically I was looking at city charter. Charter, yeah, okay. But yes. But I would agree that the issue of governance when you're talking city charter, this also goes back to our previous question is, how do we gain input into the decisions we make and there are a different number of ideas that were thrown out here. Okay. Do you want to hear from Ryan? Ryan, you know the drill of green light. Identify yourself. Ryan Doyle speaking. So there are a lot of committees. I can't actually go to all of the meetings but I have been to probably 70 meetings in the past year. I think I understand the restrictions on staff time and I do see how much staff works in the evenings. There's definitely a concern with long-term quality of life. I see Paul, he did finally leave thankfully. I see him probably more than he wants to see me, let's be honest. But I think more than I see an inefficiency in the number of committees, I think there's often confusion within committees. The number of times this year when I have had to email staff that the members were out of date on their website, the mission was written incorrectly on their webpage. They had old reference material. The agenda wasn't posted. I did mention a lot of laser fish issues and calendar issues last time. Between then and now, I found another agenda not posted, old minutes not posted for meeting that happened. So I think there's something in the efficiency and training of our committees that could be done to get more work out of them. I hope that didn't sound like I want to make volunteers work really hard. I hear time and time again at meetings, members raise their hand and ask for clarity about what they're even supposed to be doing or what their mission is. I, one example, right in the agenda tonight, it's referenced the, I left my laptop in my chair. One of the references Jesse put into this section talks about the staff liaison, the chair, and the council liaison working on an agenda. But I know in one specific committee charter, it just specifically says the, it leaves out the council liaison, right? And so then you end up with a little ambiguity of who shouldn't be working on that. I think there are a lot of areas in that vicinity that could be cleared up with making sure everyone on their committee understands their charge, making sure that the website reflects, for every committee reflects recent work, current projects, aspirational goals, relevant information that members of the public would want to see and prospective people who would like to join the committee would like to see before they get up here before you. And I think those measures could go a really long way. Obviously, I know your next segment is about council priorities and the website is still one of those priorities from the last council's decision. So hopefully there will be a lot of movement there. But I think we could put a lot of thought into how the committees are communicated and both educated as they come on board. In terms of adjustments, I actually really like what Andrew's saying about getting climate over into with the energy committee, pulling transit in toward bike pad, then sort of capturing some of those near topics that would otherwise go unaddressed or not get direct focus. And then I think once there's really good clarity about what those committees are and what their charges are, a good evaluation of how you're appointing people to those committees. I often have to fact check people at committee meetings. And I shouldn't say often. Usually I just write it in my notes because I can't quite participate as often as I would like to. But sometimes the misunderstanding of the topic that they are appointed to deliberate about, they have a shallow amount of knowledge. And I think you can't always get experts obviously, even in a municipality of this size, but it's sort of that mix of people who understand the topic well and the mix of people who have a really strong interest and curiosity who can ask really good questions. And I think we sometimes confuse an ideological passion with curiosity and some people with ideological passion don't have the same where with all to ask really good discerning questions that move the information along. And so I think getting good clarity for committee members and then sort of evaluating as you make appointments and reappointments how strong of a committee you're forming for each of those things. And also Elizabeth's comment about governance, I couldn't agree more that I think some formation of the charter committee could take on other governance or outreach issues and be an always running committee. Thank you. Thank you. So I'm hearing some direction to go do some work and come back to you. But having said all of that, I also think our committee structures that currently exist are hard at work and they're doing big important things. So I think you should, I would recommend that you appoint liaisons until we come up with whatever the next iteration is. So I have given you a list. Do you want me to pull it up here? Would that be helpful? Everybody shout out what you want quick. Let's start with affordable housing. Do we have a volunteer? We have two.  Here we go. I defer the councilwoman. Okay. All right, so affordable housing. Or do you have any? Yeah, I can pull this up pretty quickly. But keep talking. Okay, so, all right. Do I understand that we're each like needing to do at least two committees? At least two. Yeah, maybe five would be good. I think for five for you. Oh, thank you. Okay. Next up, bike and pet. What's between you two again? Well, you negotiate, negotiate. I've got a neighbor on the bike bid committee, so I get enough information about it. Go ahead. All right. Wait, wait, now I'm falling behind. Okay, so we said. Elizabeth, affordable. It sounds like Mike for bike and pet. But you can only walk or ride your bike to the meetings. Do you know that? Okay. I'm gonna take the bus. Okay. No. Well played. They're gonna send a bus just for you. City Charter. So just a reminder, City Charter only meets as needed. And right now there is not currently a charge or there is a charge, but the council is not redirected from the last charge. So it may not meet in the next three months. You probably should still have a liaison in case, but just for that. That's great. Common area for dogs. Helen had that before. Do I have, it's Tuesdays, second Tuesday at six? How long did those run? So. Oh, that way, hold on a second. There's a, the planning commission meets, what's that, the first or second Tuesday? Second. Second and fourth at seven. So. That'll be right after. It'll be right, planning commission will be right after that. Yeah. I might suggest that whoever, I think this hasn't always been the case, but sometimes the liaison who is common area for dogs is also recreation and parks. Cause there's a lot of overlap between conceptually those two groups. Well, let's go to recreation and park who. I was considering doing recreation and parks, but I have a conflict on Tuesday evening. So I probably couldn't do both of those. Oh, because of the common areas is Tuesday, but the recreation park is Monday. Well, do you, what else is the second or fourth Tuesday economic developments? All right, well, let's put that on hold for now. All right. Economic development. Okay. Now we've got an auction going here. It's fine with economic development. I was just thinking, recreation park, let me put in asterisks on that. I need to see if I can juggle something to be free online. Okay. These aren't going to be written in stone. I mean, if it's a question mark, we'll figure it out later, right? Okay. But you currently, I'm attending those meetings, but well, I want to see what else, because the thing is I have to go to planning commission, right? Okay. Because that's a chair. It's a chair roll. So that's a change. And, but I've been on that, I was on energy and then you've replaced me on energy and then I went to economic development. So if you want to continue that, you would be more than welcome to. I could do energy on Wednesdays. 632nd Wednesday. You're on energy now. Yeah. I would like to continue that to just stuff that's going on that I'd like to make sure we finish off. I think you should stay there, but I was just thinking if you were switching to economic development. Okay. Well, we each get two. Right. Right. Next is housing trust fund. That's as needed though. Yeah. Also, if it meets, it will meet once. Yeah. So Elizabeth, sorry to put you on the spot, but often affordable housing and housing trust fund go hand in hand because it's similar. I'm trying to say I didn't, I don't recall the charge of this, but let's put a tentative on that. Okay. So this is just when, when we receive requests to use the housing trust fund, this is the group that hears those requests. So it's only as applications come in. And right now I know of one that is being contemplated, but we haven't, I don't know if it will come forward. They realize you're putting names right up there. So they must have met for Allard Square in the Summit Properties. Yeah. Exactly. The fairly large projects or probably I don't know if Habitat. Yep. Okay, Habitat as well, right. All right, so we've got natural resource and conservation that's you right now. If you want to continue on economic development, I'm happy to continue there. Or if you want to do something else. If you take over economic development, I'd take over natural resources. Do you want that? It's up to you.  Yes. Right. But if he, if you give him economic development. Okay, I'll do that. Then I would consider taking natural resource. I'll do that. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Tim, can I just mention having sat through again, just this recent economic development meeting, it does look like two of the big things that are in our work plan are both an economic development plan and a cultural plan. Is that accurate, Jesse? They're on the pending resources to do. Okay. They're not plans that we currently have funded or a timeline associated with. They're things that those committees would like us to do, move forward in the future. Yeah, and I appreciate your schedule, Tim. I thought with the turnover and that committee and that was a potential future need, I thought it would be good to have some continuity there, but is that conflicting with, oh, is that conflicting with planning commission? Well, it's, yeah, but, well, no, they started at 530, they go to 730, so it would have to cut a half of the office. Okay. It's five to seven. It's five to, oh, wait. That used to be five to seven, and now they've changed it to, oh, I'm sorry. What time? It starts, they start at five now, and they was at seven, right? Oh, five to seven. Yeah. That's a long Tuesday. Yeah. Yeah, I just got the sense that with the turnover, that it might be good to have council continuity, but obviously it's your call. But you want to go. Okay, thanks. All right. I would like to remain on pension advisory list, somebody has a strong desire to be on that. It meets basically once a quarter, right? And SEI comes up and visits, and there are several members of that. There's one from Public Safety and the city administration, right? And okay, that's quarterly, yeah. So if nobody else wants to, I'll stay with that. Public art. I'm on that now. And it's one Tuesday a month. Anybody, I'll stay with it if you want to. I mean, I just want to make sure that we're evenly distributed here in terms of total hours. The Tuesday meetings are a problem for me. They are, yeah, okay. So leave me penciled in for that. I mean, if it turns out that somebody feels like they're overloaded, we'll work it out. And we already took recreation in part, right? Is that? Laurie and Mike tentatively right now. Oh, okay. Arm wrestle. Arm wrestle. For what? Do you want the rectum part? I'll do the parking wreck, yeah. What are we missing? Common area for dogs. Oh, common area for dogs, yeah, I mean, yeah. I'm a colonial director, but does common area for dogs necessarily need a council liaison? What could they record about it? They need one. They need one. Some council support to staff to keep them efficient and focused on what you would like to hear from them. That would be lovely. How much work is left for the common area for dogs? I mean, I know that the newest park that we have is fairly well enjoyed by everybody. The Farrell Park needed some upgrades. I don't know if they've happened yet. Are they? The area process. They're looking to create another park or help other people plan for smaller private parks and new developments or? They're focused right now on the survey they did a year ago and bringing that to you, as well as some consideration of rule changes and some consideration of public, what I think of as like community development, public education efforts. You know, pencil being for that for now. Geez, Tim, wanna retire? From where? I can't retire. That's the problem. You have a lot. You know, I love my family. I'll see them once in a while. So what? Yeah, oh, look at that episode. Pension is quarterly, right? It's like a two o'clock, four times a year. Planning commission is twice a month at seven o'clock and it's a couple hours. Do they go solid two hours? Oh yeah. They go more than two hours? Two is really good. Okay, well, there you go. They gotta be good. Okay. They're not good. Who hasn't, who doesn't have enough right now in terms of total hours? You're not bad.  I mean, if this is the plan for the next three or four months. Yeah. That's doable. See, I do want to give you these. I want to have you spend just a second on these as well. These bulleted ones below. So these are non-city committees. These are external organizations that currently have counselors serving on them, including Helen and Megan. I think that they are still willing to do those things. Helen is willing to do the airport commission report to us after the meetings. Wow. But I want to, if there's, for example, Mike has been very involved in GMT and I think wants to consider. Yeah, I was just considering there, but I mean, I guess the idea was the transportation express interest in the bike. Sorry, express interest in the bike and pad and GM, to stay on Green Mountain Transport and the airport. And I know, Andrew, you're involved in this school routes. If you wanted to keep doing that fine, if not, for me, I was just trying to have a continuity of one thematic as I said, everything related to transportation and how we harmonize it. So just, you know, in the interest of mine. So you want to stay on Green Mountain Transit? I would like to stay on Green Mountain Transport, but I guess I was hoping to be also on the airport commission and Andrew wanted, you know, if you want to stay on safe routes to school or if you want to juggle that since you're taking on economics, I was just trying to line up everything, transportation and to try to find the synergies between, you know, all these transportation issues. I'm trying to stay on the safe routes to school. Okay. Here's a few things I have to finish up. Okay. So the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission, what does that do? A lot. And currently, Chris Shaw is the primary. Oh, okay. Yeah, so this is just for the alternate. This is just for the alternate, I see. He rarely misses a meeting. I see. Megan said, if we don't select somebody else, he's fine because she never has to attend meetings. I mean, I would be the alternate from there. Or if you wanted to mic, I mean. Yeah, it depends. If the airport commission is a possibility, if it's not, then I'd like to be an alternate just because, again, this sort of re-transportation is a regional issue, ultimately, as GMT has shown. And ultimately, the airport, even though it's not ours, you know, for say, it's Burlington, it is a regional asset that is so important. Do you want to be the alternate for the airport? Sure. Okay. And I'm happy to be the alternate for the town meeting, TV. Oh, great, great. That's good. With the CCUD, this is the district that was formed to help improve broadband access to Chinatown County. And the number of households in South Burlington are like 18 from the way they're described. It means that they don't have access to, like, so there are gradations of bandwidth speed for home internet service. If it's like less than four, it's considered to be not existent, right? If it's less than 25, it's acceptable. So these 18 homes are in one of those two ranges. So the meetings I've attended, I've heard about other towns that have got 347 people and they're all down one particular road that goes for eight miles, right? And they're waiting for a company to be selected to string fiber and then take it to each house, right? And we're not in that position exactly, but we do have some residents that don't have a good access. So I don't find attending those meetings when I can. Sometimes when I'm at work, they happen at two o'clock, three o'clock in the afternoon on a Wednesday and it's hard for me to peel away. How often do they meet, Tim? How often do they meet? It depends, depends on what they're doing at a particular time. There could be a week where they do executive session for an hour and a quarter and then the next week they might have a real public meeting for an hour and a half. Then they might meet for two or three weeks. They have a contractor that they offload a bunch of work to who creates the requests for quotes, the RFPs and then they have to process and look at those, they have some legal counsel and save several meetings a month. Several meetings a month. Well, it can be two, one to three, I would say. But it's like between, it's like either three to four or two to three in the afternoon, usually on Wednesdays, just so you know. Are you interested in that? If you want to stay on, I'll be an alternate. Oh, that's fine. Yeah. And we can make decisions about that. We'd have to tell Ann Janda on the CCRPC that the lined you up and get you copied on all the correspondence. Do you want me to tell her that or? Sure. Okay. I think technically right now I'm the alternate. It's a way to go. You get a golden star. Anything I can do to help, Jesse? That leaves Mr. Doyle.  And I guess I, the only last thing I need clarity on is the CCRPC alternate. Related the CCRPC transportation advisory committee. Do you guys appoint someone to that? Yes, staff sits on that. So Yarka's qualified to that. Okay. And there's no alternate. You guys don't do that. I think Tom's, one of them is one and one is the other. Always. Cool. So do we, we can leave Megan there for now unless somebody express an interest in the future? Well, unless you get to. Oh, you had it. Okay. Andrew and Michael. Oh, for, okay. For, for alternate? Duke it out. If you want to do it. I would also like to pick back off the transportation factor as a subset. All right, I'm gonna write these up and put them on your next consent agenda. Does that sound good? Sounds good. Okay. Thank you very much. All right. Item 12, discussion and possible adoption of the FY25 policy priorities and strategies process. The process. Which one are you talking to? He's raising his hand. We won't hear you unless we won't listen. I turned it off. Ryan Doyle, sorry. I take a lot of notes. Is this gonna be a long one, Ryan? I'll keep it short. We're at 10 of 10 and we have to go into executive session plus a few more items. So. Yes. Mind please. So I was looking at the, the bylaws for committees. That's the attached sheet that I couldn't mention earlier. And I'm really focused on this line that said that the council liaisons are tasked with speaking on behalf of the council and providing direction in accordance with council approved direction. And I would say that at times during this past year, I have observed counselors using the liaison position more as a bully pulpit and promoting their own personal viewpoints on things as opposed to just doing things that represent or connect back to the council or bringing the council's input in specifically. I think maybe the most troubling one was with the city charter committee where Megan needed to be reminded that she wasn't on the committee by the chair and Megan was sending emails to the full committee trying to advocate certain positions. It was just shortly after that that Wendell pointed out Megan's comments about Daisy chaining. And so I think that specific instance I thought was really concerning on an ethical level. And I would really like the council to think in terms of what the council liaisons role is to make sure that that's really clear and ethically thought out and that potentially making some nod to that in your ethics policy. I realized you adopted that last week, but because these two topics didn't occur on the same night, I didn't bring this up but would really like you guys to consider making sure that doesn't get used in ways that would appear inappropriate to the public. Thank you. Thank you. You remember that the liaison position is a non-voting member of that body which reports back to city council and again tries to bring the council's perspective to those meetings and offer some input but again, non-voting. So all right, so we're on item 12. Yes. So the, sorry, reframing for a minute. The, in our form of government, the manager and the staff are to implement the policy set by the council. There are often multitude of ways that that could be done. So in 2021, we started doing this policy priorities and strategies strategic planning process that made sure that staff's efforts to implement policy was aligned to the council's wishes and visions for the city. I would recommend that we continue that process and have laid out a plan to do that over the next couple of months. So the big changes here are that we will realign this year to the city plan, not 100% sure yet how we're gonna do that, but I'll figure it out with Paul and others, people who are smarter than I and to ensure that we are incorporating all of your feedback into what those, what that work plan will look like into FY 25. So I would love for you to say, yes, you would like to do this again this year and adopt this process as outlined. I also would love if we could find a date to do the retreat, that's often the hardest part of this process. I'm happy to do that through a survey doodle poll tomorrow or this week, if that's easier than I'm trying to find a date right now, but please do watch your email for that scheduling because we will try and get all of the council there and as many of the department heads there as possible. So just so I'm clear, what we're taking a position on now is the process, not necessarily the, because the substance is something that you will be working on post-retreat. Right, so I attached to the email our most recent report of this current year's priorities just to give you an idea of what we're talking about. But right now, all I'm asking you to consider is the process and I will find a date this week. So I think this process works really well, it's worked well in the past and the retreat is an important meeting that we have with everybody and we go around the table and we do a lot of color dot placement on the posters around the room and have discussions. So I support this. I move that we maintain the same format that's been used. So is it possible to accelerate it a little bit and have us submit ideas a couple of weeks in advance of May 10th and have the retreat closer to the end of May? No. Oh, you won't be here. Oh, that's why you moved it? If it's after the 25th, I could do that. So I moved it both because May 6th is your last orientation and it's the orientation with planning and zoning and community development. So it's a lot of the meaty stuff. So I want to give you just a couple of days post that orientation to send in your new ideas. And then I knew you were out of the state for most of May. So that's why we moved it. We could look at earlier in June, certainly I could send you all the dates in June that staff could be available. That would make more sense to me. I think earlier than June, I would care. Yep. Can I give you dates during the week or are we only looking at the weekend? Oh, no, during the weeks. Do it all during the week, some of them all, yeah. Thank you. But don't do it during the Common Area for Dogs meeting. Yeah. So we have a motion to second? Second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Unanimous, thank you. Thank you very much. And the council priorities that you included in here, when do you want feedback on that? Is that by May 10th? So I will take any feedback you all have on either strategies to eliminate or add until May 10th. So you don't feel like you need to put that all in one document. If you have ideas as you're going through the orientation in the next couple of weeks, feel free to continually shoot those to me and I will keep track of it.  Perfect. Okay. Yep. So next item 13, I'd like to have a motion to convene as the South Berlin Liquor Control Commission. So moved. We have a motion to second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. It's unanimous. We are now the South Berlin Liquor Control Commission and we are here to consider Kitty Drugs second class license. Is there any discussion at all? I think it's, we've done a few of these before. All right. So I need a motion to approve this license. Second. Motion to second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. An unanimous thank you. I need a motion to come out of Liquor Control. Second. We have a motion to second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Thank you unanimous again. So that is item 13, 14, other business. Is there any other business before we go into executive session? There is none. So item 15 is to consider entering into executive session for the purpose of discussing pending and probable civil litigation to which the city is a party and to receive confidential attorney client communications made for purposes of providing professional legal services to the city council. I'm looking for a motion that Mike Scanlon may have to read. I move that the council make a specific finding that premature general public knowledge of the council's discussion of pending or probable civil litigation to which the city is a party and confidential attorney client communications made for the purpose of providing professional legal services to the council would clearly place this public body at its substantial disadvantage. Second. We have a motion to second. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Discussion. Do you have a further motion? Discussion. Yeah. Oh, do you have discussion? I have discussion. I have discussion on the item pertaining to the Burton higher ground litigation. And OK, this is where I go ahead. And as a appellant, yeah, in this case, though I feel I can act without a conflict of interest, I'm choosing to recuse myself from the discussion of this issue to make sure there is no appearance of impropriety or conflict of interest. Thank you. I appreciate that. So he'll be leaving the room during that discussion. So I will leave the room during that discussion. Is that the only item tonight? No. OK. So I will not be in the room for that. And do that one last, and he can. OK. OK, got it. So all those in favor now. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Now we have the second motion. I now move that the city council enter into executive session under one VSA 313A1E and F for the purpose of discussing pending or probable civil litigation to which the city is a party and confidential attorneys client communications made for the purpose of providing professional legal services to the council. Second. Inviting Jesse Baker, Steve Locke, Jared Pellerin, and Colin McNeil into the session with the council for the discussion. Second. We have a second. All those in favor? Aye. It's unanimous, and we will not be coming back into the meeting after this, so we would be adjourned as soon as we're out of executive session. Thank you. Thank you.
