Good evening.

We're gonna go ahead and get started with the special city commission meeting for Monday, February ninth, twenty twenty six.

If I can please have the city clerk call the role.

I'll ask Commissioner Calwell if you can lead us in the pledge.

And to your for which it stands on your individual with whatever

standard

all right.

Before we get started with the consent agenda item, is there any of the consent agenda items we want to pull before we go to public comment?

Commissioner Calwell.

Mayor, I have a point of order, I believe.

Um I'm concerned about how the last meeting on the second was resolved and moved.

Um is it normal for us to show up at the meeting, or were we supposed to get called prior to the meeting?

City attorney, you want to respond?

Once the uh gavel hit, was that murder meeting adjourned or was it continued?

Yeah, so on it was

called for adjournment.

So on February 2nd, the regular city commission meeting was called the order, and a quorum was not present in the room.

The vice mayor, as the presiding officer then acknowledged the lack of quorum and recessed the items on the agenda to two dates certain.

The first is the special commission meeting tonight on February 9th, and the second is the regular city commission meeting on February 17th.

The recess of the February 2nd meeting is in line with the commission's adoption of Robert's rules of order as a guideline for parliamentary procedure.

So Robert's rules of order and the sunshine law mandate that no official action may be taken in the absence of a quorum.

Robert's rules provides that once a quorum is no longer present, the commission must adjourn, recess, or take some other measure to assemble a quorum.

In this case, the vice mayor called for the meeting to be recessed.

Attorney General opinion 90-56 advises that if a meeting is to be adjourned and reconvened to complete the business from the agenda of the adjourned meeting.

Is there any of the consent agenda items that anyone reaches to pull before we do a motion?

A second and then public comment.

I'd like to make a motion to adopt the consent agenda items as presented

there is a motion by Commissioner Harriet.

Commissioner Santiago, you're up next.

Second.

Second by Commissioner Santiago.

This time we're gonna go ahead and go to public comment on the consent agenda items.

Martin Padada.

Mr.

Parada, if you can please turn on the microphone.

Go ahead.

David Sosa, Daltona.

Timothy Howington, Del Tona.

Jason Voles, Del Tona.

Sean O'Donnell, Del Tona.

Taylor

Nealer, Del Tona.

Pamela Braun, Del Tona.

Okay.

Wendy Page, Del Tona.

Gail Bora Daltona.

Chris Collier, Del Tono.

Albert Bryan Daltona.

Brandy White Del Tono.

I I handed a packet to the clerk.

If the clerk can please uh give those to the commissioners, and I request that those be entered into the record

for

the purpose.

Excuse me, point of order, sir.

Is this having to do with anything other consent?

Yes, um, if you let me talk, I'll explain.

I didn't get there yet.

Uh I I respectfully disagree with uh your attorney's analysis that that last meeting did not violate the the sunshine law, and I provided a letter and the case law and the arguments that saying that they were not in compliance, so we're objecting and putting on the record that uh that act that happened at the last meeting was not only constitutional, unconstitutional according to Florida Constitution, and that's uh in Article 1, Section 24 about having open meetings.

I I respectfully disagree with uh your attorney's analysis that that last meeting did not violate the sunshine law, and I provided a letter and the case law and the arguments that saying that they were not in compliance, so we're objecting and putting on the record that uh that act that happened at the last meeting was not only constitutional, unconstitutional according to Florida Constitution, and that's uh in Article 1, Section 24 about having open meetings, it's in violation of the Sunshine Law Act and all the cases that I cited in there, and also in violation of the attorney general uh opinion that is uh 2000 document 2010 Florida AG Lexus 132 advisory opinion informal, and uh that basically says that if there's any kind of meeting that two or more together, uh they have to comply with the sunshine law, and I put through all the exhibits that uh were and there was a notice that due to lack of quorum that tonight's uh meeting would be canceled and would take place at another time.

After that went out, you guys continued to have the meeting anyway.
