It's more than once a week during winter break and spring break, which kind of gives me the impression it was rushed.
The fact that you had closed sessions, as you said, because the Brown Act allows it for certain types of discourse, it is allowed as a terrible justification for removing discourse from the public.
Transparency, not just maximum transparency, but any kind of transparency has a cost, and I think that cost is sometimes time.
And if you don't have the time for transparency, it tells me that it's rushed.
One of the actions of the CRC was to create a public information program and forms and mailers to get people comfortable.
At some point, getting people comfortable with the changes starts with the discussion of what the changes are.
And at some point, if you don't have time to do that and you want to do that at the tail end, I feel like it's rushed.
I mean, when you're looking, you said looking at the charter was a little bit like deja vu, looking at your Chula Vista charter.
There was language, things that we weren't doing.
The benchmarking that was done, you know, it was real.
And it looks like you're using procurement process to justify every other change.
And at some point, I want to know why the other changes were made, not just why the procurement.
You had this analysis on the procurement.
I want to know if you made the analysis on every other change.

You just thought that was unnecessary.
You know, saw that as an unnecessary restriction on authority mayor has anyway.
I mean, we have a basic tenet in engineering, basic tenet, which is you do not remove things without first understanding while they're there.
If you don't understand, there's so many things here that I don't know if there is an understanding of why they were there
And I think that the understanding of why they were there is critical to their removal.
