NOW. >> WE'RE WE'RE GOOD. WE'RE BACK IN OPEN SESSION AND WE DO MATTERS ARISING OUT OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSION. DO I HEAR A MOTION FROM
COUNSEL? >> YES, MA'AM. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT STAFF PROCEED TO BRING THE PROPOSAL FOR AN ALLOCATION OF FUNDS FOR THE GRAVES PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AT PEPPER HALL. ACCORDING TO THE OUTLINE PROPOSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION DO WE HAVE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION? I'LL SEE YOU GUYS LATER.
OKAY. >> COUNCILMAN SOMERVILLE SECOND .
LET'S HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE PLEASE. THE PERSON WHO MADE THE MOTION.
PROSECUTOR HAS DISCRETION DISCUSSION. YES, ABSOLUTELY DISCUSSION.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. DISCUSSION.
DID YOU RAISE OUR HAND? ALL RIGHT, COUNCILMAN RODMAN, I BELIEVE THAT EVEN ALL OF IT MAY
BE SPLIT DIFFERENTLY. >> I BELIEVE THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT HAS TO BE PART OF THE
MOTION TO I WOULD I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. >> I'M A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE LEAVING THAT SCHOOL OPEN AND THEN I'D LIKE SOME NUMBERS IN THERE.
OUR COUNSEL HAS ADVISED NOT TO DO THAT BUT AN EXECUTIVE SESSION I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR AND I THINK IT WOULD WOULD COMPROMISE THE POSITION OUR NEGOTIATING POSITION.
WELL, YES. COUNCILMAN COVER IF WE'RE NOT THAT KIND OF BOTHERS ME.
>> WELL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET IT. THAT IS A PART OF IT.
WHEN ARE WE BOUND TO SEE ANY FIGURES? WELL, EVEN KNOW THERE MAY BE
SOME OTHER WAYS IN THIS BACK. OR HOW DOES IT WORK? >> THIS IS I CONSIDER IT EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHEN WE DISCUSSED SETTLING A LAWSUIT AND EXECUTIVE SESSION.
THE TYPICAL MOTION IS DIRECT STAFF TO SETTLE THE MATTER AS DISCUSSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION
[00:05:02]
SO I CONSIDER IT TO BE THE SAME THING. WE UNDERSTAND IT WAS DISCUSSED.WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROPOSAL IS. >> WE WORK WITH THAT.
WHAT I WHAT I CAN DO IS THAT STAFF WILL BRING BRING FORWARD THE PROPOSAL THAT WE DISCUSSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND THEN WILL BRING BACK ANY COUNTER TO THAT.
IF IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO THEM, CORRECT. WE'LL MAKE A DECISION THAT SAME THING AS THE SAME THING AS THERE'S A SETTLEMENT DISCUSSION THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT
PRECISELY AS DISCUSSED. >> BUT WE UNDERSTAND. OK.
>> ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT? WELL, YEAH, I GUESS MAYBE I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. IF IF THE NUMBERS AREN'T GOING TO BE PART OF THE MOTION, HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BE PROPOSED TO THAT LOOK UNTIL AFTER THE FACT WHICH I THINK IS
RATHER IMPORTANT. >> WEEK THE PROPOSAL THAT WAS PRESENTED.
>> WE HAVE WILL WE GET A COPY OF IT? I HAVE NOTES.
THAT'S WHAT WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH. AND SO IT'S MY NOTES, MY MEMORY AND THE MEMORY FOR ALL THE PERSONS IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER IS . SO THIS ISN'T THE FINAL VOTE ON THE MATTER.
OF COURSE NOTE I'M PUTTING UP A PROPOSAL THAT FOR CONSIDER RIGHT BEFORE COUNSEL NOW IS ACTUALLY SECOND READING OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PLUS STARTING THE TRIGGER ON THE PUBLIC NOTICES THAT THEY HAVE TO BE MADE FOR CREATION OF AN ASSESSMENT
DISTRICT. >> THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WOULD BE ON THE SEPTEMBER 14TH MEETING FOR SECOND READING AND THAT WE WILL WORK WITHIN THAT CONTEXT TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL AND CORRECT ME IF I'M NOT WRONG BETWEEN THAT TIME AND THE 14TH IS WHEN DISCUSSIONS WILL BE
OK. OTHER COMMENTS AND DISCUSSION, MADAM CHAIR.
>> YES. THIS IS COUNCILMAN RODMAN. YEAH, I STRONGLY DISAGREE.
>> WE BASICALLY AN EXECUTIVE SESSION TALKED ABOUT TWO NUMBERS AND TO TAKE ONE OF THE NUMBERS AND GO FORWARD ON A NEGOTIATION MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
I DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH ACTUALLY VOTING ON A TOTAL NUMBER AT THIS POINT BECAUSE WE NEED TO DECIDE WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO GO WITH THE HIGH NUMBER OR THE LOW NUMBER TO TAKE ONE NUMBER AND GO OFF AND NEGOTIATE MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. SO IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT I'M CERTAINLY GOING TO VOTE STRONGLY AGAINST THAT PARTICULAR MOTION.
>> OK, THANKS VERY COME. YES, GO AHEAD. >> AGAIN, THERE WAS A PROPOSAL AND IT IS NOW SIMPLY A MATTER OF WHETHER THAT PROPOSAL WILL GATHER ENOUGH VOTES TO CARRY
THE MAJORITY. >> WELL, I HOPE IT DOESN'T WORK.
I MEAN THAT'S THE HOPE THAT I THINK WE'RE MAKING MANDATORY THAT SEVERAL DIDN'T AGREE WITH
THAT PROPOSAL. >> HI. AND I THINK THAT'S HOW YOU NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU SO SO I BUT I DON'T I AGREE WITH COUNSEL THAT THESE NUMBERS SHOULD NOT BE DISCUSSED AT THIS TIME BECAUSE WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER ASPECT OF WHAT WE SAW TO IT HAS TO BE DISCUSSED BY OUR COUNCIL AND MR. JOHNSON. OK.

IT'S JUST IT'S JUST BEING VERY SLOW UPDATING SO I CAN TAKE IT OFF THE SCREEN.
>> ALL RIGHT. SO ALL RIGHT. YEAH.

GLOVER'S VOTE, HE SAID YES, I VOTE NO. >> THANK YOU.
