I GUESS THE FLOOR IS YOURS FOR THIS ITEM. MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU SIR. GOOD AFTERNOON TO EVERYONE. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS A VERY SHORT TIME AGO THAT WE HAD CONVENED TO WRAP UP FISCAL YEAR 23, AND BACK AT IT IN THE EFFORT TO STAY ON SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR 24. WE CERTAINLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD THIS OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A DIALOG GOING INTO THE AUDIT PROCESS. I GUESS HISTORICALLY, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A MEETING THAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED EARLIER ON THE CALENDAR. BUT AGAIN, WITH US WRAPPING UP 23 AT THE TIMETABLE WE DID, WE'RE EXCITED AGAIN TO BE ABLE TO WHAT WE FEEL IS REMAIN ON SCHEDULE FOR AN ON TIME COMPLETION OF THE AUDIT. I INTRODUCED THE FINANCE TEAM AT THE, I GUESS PRIOR TO THE FORMAL BEGINNING OF THIS MEETING. ALSO WANTED TO HAVE AN INTRODUCTION SLASH SHOUT OUT FIRST OF THE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, KEVIN HUFFMAN, WHO'S IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME, AS WELL AS A INTRODUCTION VIRTUALLY OF OUR AUDIT TEAM LED BY AUDIT PARTNER MR. TODD PRUITT, AS WELL AS AUDIT MANAGER AND SUPERVISOR, MR. TRAVIS ROGERS, BOTH FROM PATILLO BROWN AND HILL. WHAT I HAVE DISTRIBUTED TO YOU ALL AND THE PBA TEAM HAS A COPY AS WELL. IS JUST, YOU KNOW, A BRIEF OUTLINE OF THE AUDIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 24. THE FIRST, I GUESS THE FIRST THIRD OF THE SHEET IS A DIRECTORY, IF YOU WILL, SO THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE OF WHO THE PLAYERS ARE, IF YOU WILL, FROM THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO THE CITY OF DUNCANVILLE FISCAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT STAFF, AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUALS FROM PATILLO, BROWN AND HILL. SO IN ADDITION TO HAVING THE NAMES DOWN HERE ON THIS DOCK, THIS DOCUMENT THAT CERTAINLY BENEFITED FROM BEING ABLE TO PUT FACES WITH NAMES AS PART OF THIS DISCUSSION AS WELL. SO THAT WAS THE FIRST THING I WANTED TO COVER WITH THIS DOCUMENT. THE SECOND IS JUST TO PROVIDE A GENERAL TIMELINE OF. POSITION IS FOR THIS AUDIT PROCESS TO COMMENCE. AND TO GO STARTING IN THIS CURRENT MONTH. CERTAINLY, WE'RE HAVING THE AUDIT COMMITTEE MEETING. SO BULLET POINT TWO WILL BE CHECKED OFF AT THE CONCLUSION OF TODAY'S MEETING. BUT ALSO THE FISCAL SERVICES STAFF IS COMPILING AND PUTTING OUR INFORMATION, OUR ENTRIES TOGETHER AS WE'RE IN OUR YEAR END CLOSING PROCESS. SO WE FEEL THAT WE ARE ON TRACK IN TERMS OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED AND READY FOR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT MONTH, WHICH WOULD BE THE. SO [C. Preliminary scheduling of the meeting to discuss the final Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).] [00:05:03] SINCE YOU'RE SAYING THAT, MR. JACKSON, I'M GOING TO READ ITEM C. YES. AS WELL AS PRELIMINARY SCHEDULING OF THE MEETING TO DISCUSS THE FINANCIAL OR THE FINAL ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT. OKAY. SO BEGINNING IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY, SO JUST A COUPLE WEEKS FROM NOW IS WHEN FORMALLY THE AUDIT PROCESS WILL BEGIN WITH THE CITY AND WITH PBA, RESPECTIVELY. SO WE ARE LOOKING FOR THINGS TO KICK OFF THE FIRST FULL WEEK OF JANUARY. SO THE WEEK OF JANUARY 6TH IS WHEN WE'RE LOOKING FOR THINGS TO BEGIN THAT WILL INVOLVE FIELD WORK ON SITE FROM MEMBERS OF PBA, AS WELL AS INFORMATION THAT WILL BE BOTH REQUESTED AND SUBMITTED VIRTUALLY THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS FOR TESTING, EVALUATION AND PART OF THE GENERAL AUDIT PROCESS THAT PBA, PBA CONDUCTS. SO THAT WILL BE BEGINNING IN JANUARY. MOVING ON TO FEBRUARY. TIMELINE WOULD BE FOR DRAFT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO BE REVIEWED BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE AUDITOR, RESPECTIVELY. FOR BOTH THE FOR OR OUR FINANCIAL REPORT, AS WELL AS OUR CFO OR SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURE FOR FEDERAL AWARDS, ALSO KNOWN AS THE SINGLE AUDIT. SO WE ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE TO REVIEW A DRAFT OF BOTH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE CFA DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY. AND ALSO THAT ONCE THOSE DRAFTS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND SIGNED OFF BY BOTH THE CITY AND BY THE AUDITORS, THAT THEY WOULD THEN BE FORWARDED TO THE AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW IN ADVANCE OF OUR EXIT MEETING, WHICH WE WOULD PROJECT TO HAVE DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH. SO MOVING ON TO THE, I GUESS, THE LAST SECTION OF THE SHEET IN FRONT OF YOU. SO IN THE MONTH OF MARCH, IT IS OUR GOAL TO CERTAINLY HAVE OUR EXIT CONFERENCE TO REVIEW THE REPORTS AND GET THE FINAL REPORT FROM MR. PRUITT AND MR. ROGERS, RESPECTIVELY, AS WELL AS PRESENTING THE ACFR AND THE SINGLE AUDIT TO COUNCIL. WE CERTAINLY HAVE A GOAL. WE UNDERSTAND THE TIMELINE OF A MARCH 31ST, 2025 TIMELINE FOR US TO BE CONSIDERED ON TIME, AND IT IS OUR EXPECTATION TO BE ABLE TO REACH THAT THIS YEAR. AND SO WHAT WE HAVE TIMELINE WISE IS ALSO THAT IF OUR IF OUR, I GUESS, OUR GOALS AND OUR. OUR VARYING POINTS ARE MET THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT IT TO COUNCIL DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH AS WELL. NO, FROM A REQUIREMENT PROCESS, CERTAINLY BEFORE SUBMITTING TO APPROPRIATE PARTIES THAT CERTAINLY THE EXIT CONFERENCE WITH THE AUDIT COMMITTEE NEEDS TO OCCUR FIRST, AND WE CERTAINLY INTEND FOR THAT TO STILL BE THE CASE. HOWEVER, IF POSSIBLE, WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FROM A TIMING PERSPECTIVE AT A TIME OF THE MONTH THAT WOULD ALLOW ALSO FOR THE AUDIT PRESENTATION TO COUNCIL TO OCCUR DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH, IF POSSIBLE AS WELL. SO WE CAN PACKAGE ALL OF THAT TOGETHER. SO WE CERTAINLY HAVE IT AS A GOAL. BUT THE OVERARCHING GOAL AND THE MAIN GOAL THAT WE'RE FOCUSED ON IS CERTAINLY IS COMPLETING THE AUDIT ON TIME BY 331 OF NEXT YEAR. AND CERTAINLY THE LAST BULLET POINT IN TERMS OF ONCE ALL OF THE APPROVALS HAVE HAPPENED AND WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE FOR THAT, THE REPORTS WOULD BE POSTED TO OUR WEBSITE AS WELL AS SUBMITTED TO ALL APPROPRIATE PARTIES. AND SO I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED GFOA. SO IT GIVES US A CERTAINLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT OUR FOOT FORWARD TO RECEIVING THE AWARD FOR THE CITY, RECEIVING THE AWARD ONCE [00:10:05] AGAIN, AS WE HAVE NOT BEEN ELIGIBLE FOR THE PAST THREE FISCAL AUDITS. SO WE INTEND TO REVERSE THE TIDE AND RETURN TO WHAT WAS ESTABLISHED PREVIOUSLY IN THAT REGARD, AS WELL AS SUBMITTING THE REPORTS TO OUR RATINGS AGENCIES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ABREAST TO OUR OUR FINANCIAL REPORTS AND THE COMPLETION OF THEM. AND THEN FINALLY, FROM THE SINGLE AUDIT, THE SUBMISSION TO THE FEDERAL CLEARINGHOUSE. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE AS WELL. SO AGAIN, JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE A TIMELINE. GOOD EXECUTIVE VIEW IF YOU WILL, IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN TANGIBLY TAKE WITH YOU. AND SO WE CAN REVIEW THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. CERTAINLY IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, YOU KNOW, MYSELF AND TIA ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY INQUIRIES THAT YOU HAVE. MR. CALLAN. YEAH. MR. JACKSON'S VERY IMPRESSIVE. IF YOU CAN IF YOU CAN HANDLE THIS, GET THIS, MAKE THIS WORK. THAT'D BE GREAT. I DID WANT TO ASK MR. MR. PRUITT, IF YOU GIVE HIM YOUR STAMP OF APPROVAL, YOU GUYS CAN MAKE IT MAKE THIS WORK. YES. YOUR STAFF. I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT THIS WILL WORK. IT'S ESSENTIALLY, AS RICHARD MENTIONED, A NORMAL WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER A NORMAL TIMELINE IN PREVIOUS YEARS, WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION OF IDEALLY, WE WOULD HAVE COMPLETED A WEEK OF INTERIM WORK BEFORE WE START IN JANUARY. BUT THAT'S NOTHING. CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT WOULD PREVENT US FROM MEETING THE SCHEDULE THAT YOU HAVE. I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL BE COMPLETING THE AUDIT AT SOME POINT IN MARCH. OKAY, SO YOUR STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO DO ALL THE FIELD WORK IN JANUARY. YES. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. WE JUST ADDED AN EXTRA WEEK ONTO IT. NORMALLY WE WOULD DO A WEEK OF INTERIM WORK SOMETIME IN THE IN THE SUMMER PROBABLY. AND WE JUST ADDED AN EXTRA WEEK OF FIELD WORK INTO JANUARY. SO WE'LL WE'LL GO STRAIGHT FROM INTERIM INTO THE CLOSING THE POST CLOSING FIELD WORK. LET ME ASK MR. JOHNSON. MR. JEFF, ARE YOU GOING TO LET YOUR PEOPLE GO AHEAD? YOU'RE GOING TO LET YOUR PEOPLE GO HOME AT NIGHT? YES, SIR. YES, SIR. LADIES, I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT OVER THERE, OKAY? YEAH. NO, THE STAFF HAS BEEN WORKING EXTREMELY HARD. AND AGAIN, IT'S A IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO THANK THEM INDIVIDUALLY. JENNIFER. JOSHUA. YVONNE. AND JOSHUA WHO'S NOT HERE IN THE ROOM PHYSICALLY AS WELL AS CYNTHIA AND ALSO INCLUDES OUR PROCUREMENT TEAM. SO ELDEN BROCK OUR CHIEF PROCUREMENT OFFICER, DIANE MITCHELL, OUR BUYER. BUT AT THE FOREFRONT OF ALL OF THIS IS TIA. AND WHAT TIA HAS SET FORTH INTERNALLY FOR US IN TERMS OF OUTLINING WHERE WE NEED TO BE, WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND WHEN WE NEED TO DO. IT HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS, AND IT'S REALLY HELPING US PUT OUR BEST FOOT FORWARD IN THE PROCESS. AND I'D LIKE TO COMMENT ON THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A GOOD HISTORY WITH WITH YOU. YES. BROWNHILL AS WELL AS TIA AND THAT STUFF THAT'S REALLY MAKING THIS PROCESS, I THINK, MOVE FURTHER. MR. JACKSON. I AND I GUESS THIS ALSO GOES TOWARDS THE BROWN HILL. USUALLY WE DO SOMETHING ELSE AS WELL TOO. SO WE USUALLY LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE LIKE CACHE CONTROL, AP CONTROLS. I MEAN I MADE A LITTLE LIST OF THINGS. IT'S LIKE P-CARD CONTROLS OR WE FOLLOW THE PROMPT PAYMENT ACT OR YOU KNOW, THE. FIELD FIELDHOUSE AND PROCESS AND PROCEDURES AND PURCHASING. SINCE YOU BROUGHT UP MR. BROCK'S NAME AND WE'RE FOLLOWING THOSE GUIDELINES. SO IT IS IN TERMS OF THAT, IS THERE ANY OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TESTING AS WELL, OR SHOULD BE TESTING AS WELL, OR. MR. JACKSON, ARE YOU ARE YOU WANTING THE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO GIVE YOU SOME SUGGESTIONS, OR HAVE YOU IDENTIFIED THOSE AREAS THAT I JUST MENTIONED? A LOT OF WHAT COUNCILMAN MCBURNETT MENTIONED IS PART I CAN CERTAINLY LET THE [00:15:01] PBA TEAM SPEAK TO THAT RESPONSE. BUT A LOT OF WHAT WAS INCLUDED IS IN ON THE TESTING THAT WE'VE SEEN FROM FROM PVH. THAT BEING SAID, WE ALSO WANTED TO USE THIS THIS MEETING, MR. TALLEY, AS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT IF THERE ARE ANY SPECIFIC TOPICS THAT YOU AS A COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE TO FORWARD, IF YOU WILL, TO THE AUDIT TEAM FOR REVIEW AND TESTING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS INCLUDED? WE WANTED TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE THE SPACE FOR YOU ALL TO DO. SO OKAY. SO WITH THAT, MR. TALLEY, YOU'VE GOT THE LOOK. WELL, YOU KNOW, IN THE PAST, IT'S BEEN A WHILE, PROBABLY SINCE WE LOOKED AT THE FIELDHOUSE. AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. BUT YOU MENTIONED A COUPLE TO WHAT YOU MENTIONED, CACHE CONTROL AP CONTROLS PROMPT PAYMENT ACT, BCC, EDC PROCESS, FIELDHOUSE AND PURCHASING. SO I MEAN I. IT'S ALL PROGRESSIVE BUT BUT IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT SOME TARGETS WE CAN HIT FOR THE NEXT ONE AND THE NEXT ONE AND THE NEXT ONE. BUT SO BUT AS HE WAS HE IS OUR, OUR SENIOR PERSON. HE'S PROBABLY PROBABLY HE'S PROBABLY SEEN ALL THE DIFFERENT LISTS OF THAT THING. AND SO WHEN IF HE'S SAYING TO ME THE FIELDHOUSE IS SOMETHING, THEN THAT'S, THAT'S AN AREA THAT THAT I WOULD SAY, OKAY, OKAY. YES, MA'AM. HOW ABOUT YOU. YOU GOT ANY. WELL, I WAS JUST GOING TO COMMENT THAT AS FAR AS GETTING BACK ON TRACK WITH OUR AWARD, WHICH IS A TREMENDOUS YOUR RECORD CLEAN, RIGHT, I AM CLEAN. YOU ARE TOO. AND YOU ARE ABOUT TO START THE SERVICE OF OUR NEW LIFE WITH GETTING THAT THAT AWARD, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT RECOGNITION THAT IT IS. WE'VE BEEN BLESSED WITH HAVING PEOPLE THAT HAVE KEPT US IN LINE. YES. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BECAUSE I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING THAT NEW RECORD. THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT. MISS. MISS CHERRY, DID YOU HAVE ANY. OKAY, MR. FRAZIER, GLAD THEY'RE RUNNING ON TIME. DID THEY PLAN ON BEING ON TIME? THAT'S A BIG AMEN RIGHT THERE. SO, YEAH. SO. SO IF WE COULD MAYBE A SPECIAL PROJECT, MAYBE THE FIELD HOUSE, MAYBE THIS TIME. IS THAT POSSIBLE? MR. PRUITT? HE WAS GIVEN A NOD. SURE. IS THERE ANYTHING ARE THERE ANY PARTICULAR CONCERNS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE OR JUST JUST SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE PROPER CONTROLS SET UP IN, OR IS THERE ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR THAT YOU WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THERE? NO, I'M NOT IN PARTICULAR. RIGHT, OKAY. SO WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER ANY ANY ITEMS THAT YOU KNOW OF THAT WOULD HAVE PARTICULAR CONCERN FROM AN AUDIT STANDPOINT THAT WOULD BE OUT OF THE ORDINARY OF OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD? NO. JUST GOING IN. YES. THAT'S OUR OTHER QUESTION. IT'S A LOADED QUESTION. IF WE KNEW WHAT TO LOOK AT. BUT YES, MR. MCBURNETT, IN TERMS OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU HIGHLIGHTED, I SAID THAT THE AP TESTING STANDARD PROCESS CASH, PART OF THE BANK RECONCILIATION PROCESS PROCUREMENT WOULD BE ON THE PROCESS AND PROCEDURES. THERE'S TYPICALLY A THERE IS A VARIANCE OF FILES THAT THAT GOES THROUGH THE VARIOUS PROCESS AND PROCEDURES. PROCUREMENT WOULD BE ONE THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE INTERVIEWS AND TESTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR, YOU KNOW, WITH OUR OWN INTERNAL REGULATIONS. SO THOSE THOSE THINGS WOULD WOULD BE COVERED AS PART OF THE AUDIT. SO I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT FOR YOU. THANK YOU. OKAY. IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS, ANY QUESTIONS? I WAS WONDERING WHAT KIND OF LEAD TIME YOU'LL HAVE FOR THE AUDIT COMMITTEE WHEN YOU HAVE THAT EXIT MEETING, WHEN YOU HAVE THAT EXIT MEETING TO SEE [00:20:03] THE REPORT BEFOREHAND. A WEEK, THREE DAYS A MONTH. I KNOW IT'S NOT A MONTH, BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS. THE LAST TIME I THINK WE DID SEVERAL DAYS. AND SO FROM A TIMING PERSPECTIVE, PROBABLY DROVE THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING, MR. FRAZIER. BUT IDEALLY, IF WE'RE, YOU KNOW, IN LINE WITH, WITH OUR SCHEDULE WOULD BE AT LEAST AT LEAST A WEEK. SO. NICE. OKAY. THANK YOU. YES. WELL, OBVIOUSLY, BASED ON THIS, WE'LL HAVE SOME MEETINGS TO A COUPLE OF MEETINGS TO SCHEDULE BETWEEN THEM. SO MR. JACKSON'S VERY GOOD ABOUT KEEPING ME ABREAST OR UP TO DATE OF KIND OF HOW AND WHERE THEY ARE. SO WE WE'LL GET THE MEETINGS AND AGENDAS WRITTEN UP. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU, MR. FRAZIER. ANY ANY OTHER QUESTION? COMMENTS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ONE. YES, SIR. ONE MORE THING, MR. CHAIR. CERTAINLY WITH ITEM C WITH. PRELIMINARY SCHEDULING. WE'RE CERTAINLY LOOKING INTO THE MONTH OF MARCH. CERTAINLY WANT TO BE RESPECTFUL OF Y'ALL'S TIME AS WELL AND TRYING TO GIVE YOU AS ADVANCE TIME FRAME AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. AND WE'RE CERTAINLY APPRECIATIVE. AND YOU'RE PIVOTING NOT ONLY FOR THE OCTOBER MEETING, BUT CERTAINLY FOR THIS MEETING AS WELL. BUT IDEALLY, I THINK WE WOULD TRY TO TARGET AN OFF WEEK FOR FROM THE COUNCIL MEETING JUST FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS IN PARTICULAR. SO WE'RE NOT LOADING TUESDAY LIKE TODAY. A LOT OF MEETINGS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. SO IDEALLY CALENDAR WISE. SO THAT WOULD TARGET MARCH 25TH AND MARCH 11TH RESPECTIVELY AS POTENTIAL TIME FRAMES. AGAIN, JUST PURELY FROM A DRAFT PERSPECTIVE, WE WANTED TO PLANT THAT BUG, THAT PROVERBIAL BUG. AND YOU'RE HERE IN TERMS OF WHAT WE MAY POTENTIALLY BE LOOKING AT, BUT AGAIN, WITH THE GOAL BEING TO BE ON OFF WEEKS FROM THE TRADITIONAL COUNCIL SCHEDULE SO AS NOT TO STACK SO MANY MEETINGS ON ON TOP OF EACH OTHER FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBERS RESPECTIVE. AND THAT'S APPRECIATED AND STUFF BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD LISTED DOWN THE MEETINGS MARCH 18TH FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING. SO IT'S LIKE OKAY. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE REPORT BY THE 11TH THEN. THAT'S THE THAT'S THE GOAL OR BEFORE. YEAH. BUT DEFINITELY A GOAL OF THE 11TH. BUT YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY IF IT CAN BE ACHIEVED PRIOR TO CERTAINLY WITH RESPECT TO THE FINANCE TEAM AS WELL AS WITH RESPECT TO THE PBA TEAM, UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE T'S ARE CROSSED AND THE I'S ARE DOTTED BEFORE WE SEND OUT A DRAFT TO YOU ALL FOR THAT MEETING. BUT, BUT BUT AGAIN, JUST THE GOAL OF TRYING TO GET SOMETHING OUT ON YOUR CALENDARS AS, AS OPPOSED TO A LAST MINUTE HANDS PRAYED CALL TO MR. MACK BURNETT TO TRY TO GET ON YOUR SCHEDULE. AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT THEY'VE BEEN ACCOMMODATING FOR THAT. BUT BUT AGAIN, I THINK EVERYBODY HERE UNDERSTANDS WHERE WE WERE AND NOW WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE'RE GOING. SO IT WAS A HARD SELL FOR HIM TO TELL US HE WAS GOING TO HAVE A 3:00 MEETING PROCEEDING AT 5:00 START FOR OUR COUNCIL MEETING. YES. FOR. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S IT. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER. YEP. SO WE WILL CALL THIS MEETING * This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
