Meeting Transcript
Okay, cool. We'll do no such thing, sir. All right. So you got a ticket when you pull that. I don't know how it happens, but I think it's a kiosk down on the first and a combination of all those tickets. Maybe is how I can get out of here. You gotta put in the first ticket. So you know what you're doing. Oh, okay, cool. Maybe help her. Okay. First ticket, second ticket. Put that in first one and then put this one in a payment. Finally, we had a few. I like record everything I think. Yeah. Definitely. Wait till Mr. Steinmits comes back. Turn you want to turn it on when you're talking. It's this switch right here, the red one. So you pull it towards you to turn it on. Yeah, it's this switch right here. Huh? Nobody knew we had this guy small in just a minute ago. I think they had a training session for us. Huge. This style is ever doing anything wrong. I was pushing the same. Probably just waiting for our attorney to come back. He's stepped out for a second. I think the city itself actually is. Yeah. Geographically, it's Ohio. We've got some still one out of the build to be some reason. Has somebody sped the clocks up in here? The clock over there is throwing eleven oh five. I've got a le or one oh five. I've got one oh one. And so I sped up the clocks. City County Council wants to get those meetings over a little faster. Yeah. Can I start without Chris or not? I think Chris would feel left out if we started with him. Yeah, I know. He's come back. I think we're all a team and we'll wait and for him to come back with your findings so that we can do this together. All righty. We should all just apply. It's a call to order.
