at 25:41Mayor, an increase to be, okay, so the MCMA suspend the executive director with full pay and benefits at any time during the term of employment by affirmative vote of a majority of the MCMA, provided, however, that the executive director shall have been given a written notice, full pay and benefits at least 10 days.

at 28:21Yeah, I like the way we have it in here because if you insert what you just said, I believe you create uncertainty at the executive director that, okay, is this going to be a year where I get a down vote?

at 2:30From there, once the parties are done and the cross-examination is done, we're then going to bring it back to the commission, and the commission will deliberate from what they heard.

at 3:11Once we're done with public comment, and we want to hear from all of you tonight that are here, we'll then come back to the board for final deliberation, and we'll think of a few other things as far as the quorum.

at 0:00Okay, good afternoon. I'd like to go ahead and call this meeting to order, but really before we get started on our business for the day, we have an invocation from Pastor Azio Patti, I believe, with the Gainesville Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church.

at 13:29The priorities that you are telling your elected officials are being heard, and the commissioners before us started it, and the commissioners after us will continue it, because that's what our community values.

at 2:30:58So I added an RFQ because my thought was we would put out an RFQ to find out if there were a group of folks that were qualified, had done these projects in the past, had the financial wherewithal, and so on and so forth.

at 2:33:27Yeah, I mean, I think the fact that we actually have a very public successful approval of a development that was just recent that wasn't there a year and a half ago when all of this started has actually changed the environment.
