• 9:31 to the full council.
• 11:22 I have a thought.
• 11:25 I think that is good so far, all those questions and answers. And I think, too,
• 11:30 Um.
• 11:32 that this process can take so long.
• 11:36 I kind of like the idea that potentially both could maybe be higher at the same time, but maybe not. Or one, and then one could come in and help with the other. I don't know, I think there are options that could be good, depending on what kind of candidates apply for what positions are created or changed or not changed. My thought, though, was.
• 11:58 Kind of a little bigger that this is I think this is super hard and I think it requires honestly like a level of expertise that I
• 12:08 I don't know that.
• 12:11 any one of us necessarily brings or has time to figure out. And I am wondering if we should hire a consulting firm to lead in this process. I mean...
• 12:21 We hired a consulting firm to look at council salaries, which to me.
• 12:27 was less complicated than this. Obviously, nothing came of that. But I think this is an incredibly daunting task. And when I think about being a part of it, it's
• 12:41 it does feel really hard and like I don't know and like I would need to do a lot of reading and like learning to feel like I can.
• 12:51 bring anything great to the table. I mean, I can do job descriptions, I think, but I'm just saying, I think there are people's expertise out there and like, should we consider employing them?
• 13:27 concern would be. Yeah because I think for me if I'm working on it I would potentially work faster with like an expert in the field for like creating the right structure for like the work that we do.
• 13:40 which is chaotic and complicated. Okay, thanks.
• 17:45 terms of the.
• 26:38 Thank you.
• 26:47 I'm sorry, I don't know how to address this and I wish I honestly had time to talk to you before the meeting and I don't know if I can even do anything about it right now. I guess.
• 27:01 We.
• 27:02 I
• 27:04 I feel like we have a problem with confidentiality among our council members and the committee.
• 27:11 Um...
• 27:13 I mean, this is going to be like.
• 27:14 Things that definitely should not get out and to the public sometimes right when we're talking about like, um
• 27:21 people's resumes and all that stuff. I guess I'm just worried about leaks.
• 27:29 Yeah.
• 27:51 Thanks.
• 28:40 No.
• 28:42 Have a great day.
• 31:03 Thanks for watching!
