I'll talk again about the subcommittee meetings which were closed.
You've stated that the closed sessions, we had 10 of them that were reported out to public sessions, but why were the discussions in the subcommittee discussions, why were they closed to begin with?
When I ask, closed sessions are required when subject matter requires privacy, when you can't discuss the issue in public.
It's not for efficiency or expediency or concerns that people are worried about being able to speak their mind in public.
That's exactly what public meetings are for.
And I would think that charter changes would be something that the public would want to see the discussions on, not hear the report.
If you characterize the committee reports, and you've done this multiple times in public, as the same thing as allowing the public to be privy to the discussions themselves, that's disingenuous at best.
My concern is, like, you've spent a lot of time on this.
It's been your pet project.
You put in a lot of things like Chula Vista, because that's what you're familiar with.
I'm really worried that you're taking something that you've done in a previous city and bringing it here without the appropriate time, thought, and effort put into making sure that this charter amendment is actually good.
Yeah, and my question is why is it coming to council so late?
I mean if we don't approve it tonight or we have one more council meeting then you know, it's it's It's not gonna go and you've got a lot of changes that you've proposed even from you know for tonight When we look at you know, why were there substantive changes in
Proposed, I'm looking at, I had to go back to my notes from June 15th because you don't have them here.
I think that having the strikeout view is very confusing, especially when you're moving things around.
I think that a side-by-side would have been a better format to be able to compare documents.
But seeing them in strikeout mode with different colors, I can't even read some of the colors because you've got black with a dark blue background.
But why are we removing in 604.3, why are we removing the guard against working for the city or holding office for civil service?
Why are we removing that guard?
Why are we removing requirements for the mayor to provide financial methods when bringing up an item that has a fiscal impact?
