[00:05:03]

NOT SO MUCH. INDIVIDUAL NOMINEES. BECAUSE I'M SURE THEY'RE ALL EMINENTLY QUALIFIED.

WHO ARE THE THREE PEOPLE REPLACING ON THE CURRENT BOARD OR ARE THEY ALL ADDITIVE? NO.

MISS DICKEY WILL BE REPLACING JENNIFER GREEN. OKAY. THE NEXT ONE. DOCTOR KENNETH PAGANO IS REPLACING ROXANNE RHODES. THEY WERE YOUR. THEY WERE THE COUNCIL'S NOMINEES. AND THEN MISTER SIMS IS REPLACING GUILLERMO SOLANO. OKAY. WHEN YOU SAY THEY'RE THE COUNCIL NOMINEES, WHO WHO PROVIDED THEM TO YOU FROM COUNCIL PRESIDENT AKERSON. THAT'S TRUE. THAT COME FROM. OKAY. YEAH. I WHEN YOU SAY THE COUNCIL NOMINEES, I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR WITH THE PUBLIC THAT I WAS UNAWARE. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THESE CANDIDATES, WHICH IS FINE. I DON'T NEED TO KNOW EVERY CANDIDATE. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GUESS WHAT I'M GOING TO ASK ABOUT. AND THAT IS THE POLITICAL MAKEUP OF THE BOARD. WHAT IS THE POLITICAL MAKEUP OF THE CURRENT BOARD? SO.

THERE IS A MOST OF THEM ARE DEMOCRATS. ACTUALLY, THERE'S AN INDEPENDENT. BUT YOU GUYS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEND REPUBLICANS. I MEAN, AGAIN, THESE ARE METRO COUNCILS.

NOMINEES. RIGHT. WHICH IS TO SAY THAT PRESIDENT AKERSON PUT THEM FORWARD VIA RECOMMENDATIONS FROM SOMEBODY ELSE ON COUNCIL. SO I'M NOT SURE HOW HE GOT THEM, BUT THEY CAME TO US. YEAH. I'M.

YEAH. I'M GOING TO BE NO VOTES ACROSS THE BOARD UNTIL WE START FIXING THIS. AND IF WE'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM THEN WE NEED TO FIX IT IMMEDIATELY. BUT I THIS IS NO HIT ON THESE INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATES. AGAIN, I AM SURE THEY ARE ALL EMINENTLY QUALIFIED. AND, YOU KNOW, I TOOK A LOT OF HITS WHEN WE FIRST APPOINTED THIS BOARD BECAUSE I VOTED AGAINST TWO MEMBERS BACK THEN BECAUSE I HAD SOME CONCERNS WITH THEM. I HAVE NO CONCERNS WITH THESE INDIVUALSTHATS NOT THE ISSUE. AND I AND I'M WITH YOU 100% THAT WE NEED TO FIX. IF WE NEED TO NOMINATE DIFFERENT PEOPLE, WE NEED TO NOMINATE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. BUT, YOU KNOW, BLUNTLY, AND I'LL BE GLAD TO TAKE WHATEVER RESPONSIBILITY LIES IN MY OFFICE THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF THESE APPOINTEES. I ABSOLUTELY WOULD HAVE ADVOCATED TO START BALANCING OUT THE POLITICAL AFFILIATION OF THE BOARD. THAT'S REQUIRED BY LAW. AND WE'VE THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT I'VE MADE THIS POINT IN THIS CHAMBER THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. SO I'M GOING TO BE A NO OR TABLE.

I'LL BE GLAD TO TABLE IT AND HAVE A DISCUSSION. MAYBE THAT'S, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE I DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO SAY NO TO THESE CANDIDATES. MAYBE THAT'S A BETTER WAY OF DOING IT.

I THINK WE NEED TO GO BACK TO PRESIDENT ACKERSON AND THE REST OF THE COUNCIL AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, BECAUSE I'M JUST NOT SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT ANSWER. AND AT THE SAME TIME, I DON'T WANT TO SAY NO TO THESE CANDIDATES BECAUSE THEY'RE GOOD. THEY'RE FINE CANDIDATES, QUALIFIED PEOPLE. IT'S JUST MORE ABOUT THE MACRO. CONCEPTS AND WHAT THE PHILOSOPHY IS BEHIND STAFFING THESE BOARDS. SO I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS NOMINEE. CAN YOU MOTION TO TABLE ONE TWO AND THREE. LET ME LET ME REPHRASE THAT.
