As an expert transcriptionist, I have analyzed the dialogue, speaker cues, and provided context to assign the correct names to the transcript. Please note that while the provided list of councilors included different names, the transcript explicitly identifies **Councilor Nelson** and **Councilor Hauschild** as the two members present and voting. I have standardized the spelling of "Hauschild" (which appeared as "hostchild" or "hashtag" in the raw text) for clarity. *** [0:04] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice [0:22] **Alissa McClure (City Clerk):** counselor nelson here counselor

agenda that has the potential for being voted on we will have separate public discussion about that item but if an item is tabled or say in the like an ordinance where it's the first reading and there's no vote there is no public discussion on that and then when we have public hearings on [1:19] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** certain things we have public discussion but i don't believe we have

potential looks of how this building would be constructed they're envisioning a slab on grade construction with the steel roof and siding associated with it this project does me to exceed all these different setbacks associated with the zoning district staff did receive one comment prior to the planning and zoning commission asking general questions stating that they're generally not in favor of

Hauschild:** aye [9:23] **Alissa McClure (City Clerk):** mayor boucher [9:23] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** hi [9:25] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** next is resolution 2022-74 resolution approving preliminary and final planned unit development for red tail hawk development do we have a motion regarding this item [9:40] **Councilor Nelson:** uh i'd like to make a motion to table this for two weeks [9:43] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** thank you do we have a second [9:45] **Councilor Hauschild:** second [9:45] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** motion by counselor nelson second by counselor hauschild to table for two weeks all in favor i oppose same sign next is resolution 2022-75 resolution approving a special use permit for the construction of two two family homes four units total within a recreational shoreline area do we have a motion regarding this item [10:13] **Councilor Hauschild:** i i have a question of inquiry i guess um since some folks are in the audience probably on some of these resolutions and we did have them on the agenda i'm not opposed to tabling them but is there an option to give folks a chance to say something and table them or how is that allowed [10:45] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** well we're not taking a if we table them we're not taking action tonight right and the public input portion is to address potential action taken so tabling them puts action off until the next council meeting or at a later date decided by the councils so having public input on something we table is not part of robert's rules [11:18] **Councilor Hauschild:** can we take action here concerns and then table [11:23] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** i don't believe we can i bet you understand you can't take action then here and then table if you take action you're not tabling it [11:31] **Councilor Hauschild:** what if you were influenced by discussion to want to table [11:35] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** the motion to table does not require discussion if the if the if the people who made the motion or second do not if you don't want to table it you simply vote no to table it and then you move forward and then you take a motion then you need a motion and a second to take action okay so our choices are either a motion to take action with input or emotion to table and delay that but i mean we could make a motion to approve open for discussion have discussion then make a motion to table no after that no theoretically you could yes under robert's rules of order right yes okay but then you're going to basically take input at one meeting right if you didn't table it you're not going to take action till the next one so now you've got two weeks in between the time you heard it and the time i'm just trying to use people's time honestly because we told them this was on the agenda and then they showed up and now we're tabling so that's my only [12:38] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** as long as it's clear that we'll that we'll again discuss it at another meeting yeah um if if there's action to be taken it will be open for discussion uh the thought behind tabling motions at least in this case is to have as many members of the council present as possible [12:56] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** i agree no matter what the result may be it's best if more of us are here for the final any final decision [13:03] **Councilor Hauschild:** i agree and i'm glad you said that because i think they you know folks need to know why we're tabling that we're not just doing it because they showed up or something you know they need to know that it's because we're missing two of our votes no and i want to be part of a discussion personally i would rather see as many of us here as possible because we own this right [13:17] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** okay so um we have and this is a companion resolution with the last one right 2022-75 so do we have a motion regarding this i didn't i was ignoring about the process yeah um okay yeah so i'll motion to table for two weeks [13:54] **Councilor Nelson:** i'll second that [13:56] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** motion by consular hauschild second by counselor nelson all in favor aye opposed same sign next is mr mulder we're going to take these in the numbered order when we speak to them [14:14] **John Mulder (City Administrator):** you really should you usually take in the order of 77 78 and 76 as we after we put the agenda together we looked at that it makes more sense to do it in that order [14:26] **Wayne Boucher (Mayor):** well let's go with a miracle right here well we're gonna if we take them in this order that's the exact order we would take them in if we table them next time right if you're going to table them it doesn't matter what what order you take them and if you want to take action on them then you should do it with the potential for action let's go with uh 2022-76 resolution approving preliminary planned unit development for the keene creek tail trail subdivision development do we have
