at 50:39I mean, I remember, as Council Member Diamond does, I'm sure, you know, subpoenas by the city council were not well received in the community just several months ago.

at 1:03:31But if he does not appear at 10.30, can we structure the meeting to the Oversight Committee to continue as it would have

at 19:54Now, from what I'm hearing from them, they've already spent the $4 million out of their own – apparently they've borrowed the money to finish that phase, and they're paying interest on those dollars presently.

at 20:27So we just have to expand the scope, as my good friend, Council Member Clark Murray has stated, to allow the $12 million and at the same time release the $4 million.

at 2:03:35Salem, you're recognized. Thank you, Mr. President. Before I say what I want to say, I want to deal with

at 2:04:45it in a death spiral, when you're borrowing money to pay bills, you're in a death spiral. You really are.

at 19:00I've heard forensic audit, uh, mentioned a couple times and such. Has the JTA or the board agreed or voted

at 1:19:30Okay. You, you, through the chair, you mentioned, or I've seen in the media, I think you mentioned it,

at 23:02Well, are you satisfied that this gentleman has done everything he can to get this air conditioning working so that he could be placed on this board?

at 24:45Would it be more appropriate, I'm throwing this out, that he come back when this is totally resolved versus putting an artificial time point of 30 days?

at 35:20Through the chair to Mr. Peterson, the governor's law that he signed was new to me.

at 36:37Through the chair, if the mayor should recommend a tax cut in the budget itself, then the entire budget would require a two-thirds vote.

at 2:26:56I think 50% for, what is it, 36 days, 33 days, or whatever it is, to November 3rd is very reasonable.

at 2:27:06I also agree with my colleague, Councilmember Diamond, that we could have done a lot more for Amendment 3 and did not.

at 11:22When I had an issue with a riverfront piece of property a year or so ago, he was a leading charge, believing what I was trying to do, and was vocal about it, and took a lot of courage to do that.

at 53:10The other organizations that you, and I don't need to know the names necessarily, that you mentioned that also intermingled dollars, city dollars with their other dollars, are they coming up to, are they on the noncompliance list as well?
