- 10:08 you. Thank you. I think I'm understanding the main substantive issue being discussed here is whether we would hire for two positions at once or more, or only one, and then kind of let that person sequence the hiring. I can imagine pros and cons for either approach. Also I guess my read of this that under item three, the first bullet says to draft and finalize job descriptions subject to council approval. So I think if the full council did not support moving forward with the proposed structure, including hiring for which you need a job description, I mean maybe it could be clarified, but I think as I read this document right now.
- 10:54 We would not move forward with the position to hire two folks at the same time unless the full council supported it
- 11:01 OK.
- 11:03 So, again, maybe an additional bullet could clarify that or something, but I think that is my read of the document as well, and I appreciate the...
- 11:11 the substantive issue, and I think it's an important one to consider.
- 21:45 Thank you. Thank you.
- 23:55 Thank you, Councilmember Daley.
- 23:58 Wait, hold on.
- 24:00 Is there a problem to have substantive discussion before we go? We only have seven minutes, but go on.
