structure.
The first thing is the overriding thing is trust.
How do you maintain, preserve trust among the entire group?
I think that's to me that's the purpose for the orderliness.
This body, it's vital to obviously it's vital to Charlotte that this body be efficient and effective and create not just the reality but the perception of that.
I think we need to be attentive to
prior to meetings or outside of meetings, having the committee structure work the way the committee structure should work.
Uh, and that's with, you know, leadership of the committees that, uh, is energized about what they're doing.
It's, you know, considering committee structure, you know, maybe you have, you know, engaged.
I know we've had this in the past vice chairs, but the committee structure has got to work and people have to trust the members have to trust that the committee structure will work.
Um, and then for meetings there, you know, I've,
Some of my colleagues would say I've done too much of this in my career, but I've chaired a lot of meetings.
And I think there is a necessary task, a necessary skill to making sure that voices are heard and that folks, you know, are recognized, that motions are orderly, that process is followed.
You know, there's a detailed procedure, you know, for this council that I believe you all revisited in June.
I want to say June 8th.
this year and you know it's laid out there and I know the overlay to that is Robert's Rules and the overlay to that is the city charter which has some provisions but I think we have to follow those and it's not for the mechanics of following it it's because that's how you create trust if people understand the process to be heard in meeting and follow that process we have to be attentive to that but again I'd step back from that and say
both a reason for that and an outcome is trust.
And without trust, you can't accomplish anything effectively.
So I'll start with the end of that, Council Member.
I think the engagement of the public is vital.
