Let the record show that all council members are present with the exception of councilmember Tibbets. All right. Thank you so much. We'll start our day in closed session today before we go into the back. We'll go ahead and take public comment on items 2.1 through 2.3. Hold on one second. Mr. DeWitt. Microphone on now. My name is Duane DeWitt. I'm from Roseland. I wanted to speak with you about these closed-sessioned items. First, I want to thank Ms. Guzy and the staff for providing me with documents that are unavailable to people such as myself who don't have access to the Internet all the time. I had asked to try to find information for this special session specifically because frequently decisions are made which affect the taxpayers, but we don't get to see the information beforehand. I was hoping that this information would be available today specifically regarding these existing litigations, how much it's costing the city, and if you're using the city attorney's office or the outside contractors that you have been having hired and perhaps will be continuing to do so, I'd like to find out what the cost of all that is. Then on the conference with the real property, you have bought a property on Fulton Road at 1225 just after the fires close to four years ago because it was said there was an urgent need for a child care center to be moved there. It was quickly done and that child care facility has been in place ever since. One of the questions that people who live in the area have is how much is the city receiving in rent? And if those public funds could be accounted for and if the information could be made public to the taxpayers. I'm a firm believer in good child care, but by the same token, that's a really nice site. And it's something that people want to know if we're getting a fair rent for the site. I believe in the beginning it might have been a situation with just after the fire, let's do something good to help these people out get into this city owned facility. Once the city decided to buy it to a lot of people in the community, it seemed like the deal was already done. It had been somehow in the works behind the scenes and meetings like this and the public didn't really know what occurred. I'm a firm believer in the city helping nonprofits and I've seen in the past when city managers such as Ken Blackman helped nonprofits lease properties for only a dollar a year, which to me is a good thing at the right time in the right place. So I'd like to see what the precedent is for this child care center at 1225 Fulton Road. And I'd like to see that all of this information be made available before the decisions are made. If you look at your new computerized system you have here, you can't even link into today's meeting happening right now on that system. And you cannot get the documents on that system. I believe you should continue to make hard copies available to the public instead of relying upon a computer system that might break down. And one last comment. I hope you'll get started with the overhead projector that we've been waiting on for years to be put back into operation during this time you've been down if you've started. Thank you for your time. Thank you, Mr. DeWitt. Do we have any public comment on Zoom? No, no public comment on Zoom. Okay. No. All right. Then we will go ahead and recess into closed session and we'll be back for the later part of our meeting.
