 Even though not everybody is here. I will. Call the meeting to order. And. Because we're all appearing remotely, we need to identify ourselves. Jack McCullough, mayor. Carrie Brown district three. So I'll call no district two. Down to date district one. All right. The first item is to approve the agenda. Any. Changes to the agenda. Oh, look, here's Lauren. Lauren, when you get your camera and Mike turned on, would you please identify yourself? Hi, it's Lauren Hurl district one. I'm on the road. So I'm going to keep my camera off because I have sketchy cell service. Cool. I can hear. Okay. Great. Thank you. Okay. Next item on the agenda is general business and appearances. So. The agenda is approved. I take it. Didn't hear anything. Next item on the agenda is general business and appearances. It's an opportunity for any member of the public to address the council on any topic. It is not. On today's agenda. I don't see any member of the public who's seeking to be recognized, but. So move on to. Item six on the agenda, a point of voting representative. Or the league of cities and towns annual meeting. So the, the, the VLCT town fair is coming up next week. It's a great training opportunity. I think it's sent out to people. You're welcome to attend that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Anyway, but there is a business meeting where they vote on policy stuff and elect officers. And each town is allowed one voting member, but it has to be designated by the electoral by the elected body. I forgot to put it on the last week's agenda. So since we had to have this meeting about the FEMA thing. We had to have this meeting. We had to have this meeting at two o'clock and waving a thing in the year when you want to vote. Yeah. I mean, I usually remember it and try to be the rep. But I'm not, I'm not have the time this year, but it's really worth attending. I encourage other council members to do it. Anybody else who is interested in attending. I'm still a question mark because I have a court hearing that morning. So. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if there may or may not be available, but I'll try to be there if. If I'm free. But if I'm not free. Not. Yeah. So our choices are. We could designate someone if they don't show up. We just don't vote, which is. You know, probably 40 or 50 towns usually vote out of 200. And the other thing would be, it doesn't have to be a council member. It's always great. To be elected. It's like, it's like, you know, I know you know, it's not that it's not like, yeah. You know, I know we're in an elected official, but you can designate a staff person as well to be. So. I'm on the board of directors. So. In fact, I'm on the ballot to be elected president. So probably shouldn't be me. What else? What other staff members are going to be there? I wasn't Kelly. Kelly going to be there. So I was planning on attending. but I was also touched and go with a few other things, but if you need me to be there, I will definitely be there. I really wish I could go. I absolutely can't, my day is completely blocked off already, but it looked fascinating and I'm sorry I did not have the chance to go. Do you happen to know if the city clerk's going? I don't know, he doesn't say anything to me about it. So maybe. It could be a voting rep too. Yeah. Do we have the ability to appoint a representative and an alternate? We can try. Well, why don't I put my name in to say I'm willing to, I would like to be the representative if I'm able to be there. And I think there's a good chance I'll be able to be there and then have Kelly be the alternative if I'm not able to be there. So. I'll make that motion. Thank you. Is there a second? Second. Any other discussion? All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay. Next we have item seven, emergency authorization for the city manager. So you may recall the raft of the flood you adopted an emergency authorization for up to a million dollars for immediate contracting and that expired and Mr. this one to the expired on August 23rd. We now understand with FEMA that anything over 250 now that we're out of the incipient emergency has to be. So anyway, I don't think we're gonna have that much but we're basically saying just extend drop the limit to 250 and have it go from that backdated to August 23rd to I can't put for the end date. I don't actually think there's gonna be that much but just in case we need to do something quickly it would extend that authority. All right. Is there a motion to that effect? And the text is in the packet. I'll move. Second. Any discussion? All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay. I don't see any other business. Does anyone wanna make a council report? Mayor's report, city clerk's report or city manager's report? Yeah, let's have lunch. Sounds like a no. Okay. You're hearing no other business. So we'll adjourn at 12.06 p.m. Thank you. Thanks everybody.
