I guess I will call the role again myself.

Counselor Kimmy?

Here.

Counselor Teeter.

Here.

Counselor Duggar.

Here.

Counselor Hartmeyer Prigg.

Here.

Counselor Hussen.

Here.

And Counselor Tivnon is joining us remotely.

Do we have her?

All right, we got her.

She said talking.

Okay.

We are on continuation of our retreat from yet.

Are you telling me to hold on?

Well, I'm just going to wonder what's I don't often get people shishing me, but I'll just uh go ahead and allow it.

I mean, to be clear, my eight-year-old does it at least 14 times a day, so okay.

All right.

Well, we are together for four hours.

None of us will complain if we get done early.

Um I would say my hopes is that we ended yesterday in a really good note.

It felt really good.

We had a lot of uh staff input, and even though Counselor Tivnon was missed, uh her contribution was the exact same as the council, which really felt great from alignment.

So I know today we're gonna go over some challenges and commitments and next steps, and I hope that today feels as great as yesterday.

So no prance uh pressure, Nancy, but um hope you can deliver.

So while we're accepting and getting the thoughts.

Um to get going.

So but I wanted to start off by just asking in the room if there are any reflections, any reactions, takeaways from last night from yesterday uh that you want to share.

Uh we will go back and take fresh eyes to the priorities uh just to kind of reset, uh not to backpedal, but just to kind of remind ourselves and and see with fresh eyes if it still fits.

Uh, and then I'll walk through the full agenda of what we're gonna cover uh during our time care this evening, but really it's it shifts gears towards strategic planning, and so we're gonna get that that component started.

So starting off, um reactions, thoughts from last night from yesterday?

Gonna keep saying last night because it's the night now.

Oh thank you.

So I know we came out of yesterday, many of us sharing the the word of alignment and feeling very aligned with our conversation.

I think that feels really good.

One of the things I appreciated about the process is that uh we weren't all always saying the exact same thing, but we were asking questions to clarify our understanding what people were saying and pushing back sometimes.

And um I think we don't always agree on the process, but we are kind of trying to point the same direction.

I appreciate the the way that we came to our landing spot there at the end.

Excellent.

Appreciate that.

Um speaking specifically about the priorities, presumably.

Okay, good.

Patricia, we got you right over here.

Anybody else?

And no pressure, you don't have to say, and just giving opportunity for reflections.

I'll just add it's no surprise to me that there was a lot of alignment.

I've I've worked with not only my colleagues, but the the staff for a while, and like it's not surprising to me.

What what what I'm excited about both tonight and going forward is not the value alignment, but it's the prioritization work and it's the risk tolerance.

It's it's sort of these the how how you operationalize some of the uh aligned things that might cause differences, but like I feel like we have a we're in a really good place where we are value aligned on these things.

And that's a that feels really good.

And I I echo with counselor um Counselor Teeter said that's that's a it's a lot safer and better place to start um when we talk about difficulty and prioritization and and risk and all these other various parts to operationalize.

So I'm very excited and optimistic.

Awesome.

Yeah, definitely starting at a at a shared at a shared place as you're navigating all this.

We will be zooming out and and kind of thinking more um big picture around next steps and direction for the city for the community.

Uh we had some conversation, some sidebar conversations, some larger conversation yesterday about um kind of the bigger framing, right?

Around strategic planning and and sharding that longer term course, what does that look like?
