suggested they form a small committee of Councilors. He added that he would like to be a part of
that committee and nominated himself as the chair of the committee. He stated that he would like
to have two volunteers that could work day and night to look through public records and consider
our position going forward.
Councilor Swanson stated that she is confused about the statement made by Councilor Carney and
isn't aware that there is the perception we have done something wrong as a Council.

the issues are.
Councilor Cabrales stated that these things should come before the City Council perhaps as work
sessions and that people should come talk to the Council if they have concerns.

do once this hits the media and that the whole thing is embarrassing.
