Charlotte City Council · City Council Special Meeting on 2026-06-15 2:00 PM - Interim Mayor Candidate Forum - Jun 15, 2026 · 15 Jun 2026 meeting

I just really want to ask this question because I'm out of curiosity.

Okay, we send this to committee, right?

And they will come back to a full council for a discussion, something that was a process that should be inclusive of a full council.

to be then discussed from a process that was made from a committee, which I respect the committee, right?

I respect the committee and I respect committee structure, but I guess,

I'm trying to understand the reasoning of sending it to committee just for it to come back again to a full council when we're discussing it now.

Thank you, Madam Mayor.

So if this is, if the yeas have it, right, then we would have to then introduce a new motion to amend the adopted timeline that we voted for previously.

Correct?

Okay.

Thank you, Madam Mayor.

Yeah, I would agree with my colleagues, Councilmember Mayfield and Councilmember Driggs, and also appreciative of Councilmember Owens' point.

However, I really do think, for me, when I think about it, I think about the democratic process, right?

We are elected by less than 5% of the city's population, and why are we going to vote on whether somebody has the right to run or to seek a position of elected office?

We all raised our hands to run for elected office,

And we all went in front of the community, right?

Everybody has the right to run for office and be a carry to that same standard.

Like we're putting on the same standard for all of the candidates that we've heard from today and that have applied for this role today.

That being said, you know, and I'll just for appreciation, we'll say this.

That's why I also agree with Council Member Owens when it comes to the physical virtual option, right?
