Good evening.

Sorry for for uh the slight delay, just needed to uh have a couple of paper documents uh completed for us.

So uh with that uh calling the uh meeting to order, and if you will join us to stand for the invocation and pledge allegiance, it will be led by councilwoman Scog.

Let's pray.

Heavenly Father, we come to you this evening with thankfulness that we live in a free country and a beautiful city.

With gratitude, we ask you to guide us this evening with our decision.

Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, send down upon those who hold office in Nampa, Idaho, the spirit of wisdom, clarity, and justice that with steadfast purpose they may faithfully serve in their offices to promote the well-being of our people through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Uh we've added uh a piece in now labeled as one two, one three, and one four are still listed, previously listed as one, two, and one three.

And uh need a adoption of the amended agenda.

Second is there any discussion?

Council President, yes, sir.

Um three that um something that we're gonna remove from the agenda.

I think I'd like to just be able to give clarity what that item is, and so the amendment probably would be uh that we won't be taking action, but we'll have brief discussion if that is workable for you, Councilman Reynolds.

Thank you.

I appreciate the clarity.

Any other questions on the agenda?

Clerk will call the roll.

Scog here.

Oh, yes.

Yes, Bills, yes, Reynolds, Rodriguez, yes, Griffin.

Yes, all in favor, motion carries.

So on one two, uh Council uh I'm new at this, and uh consequently there is possibly um a couple of missteps that uh under Idaho's open meeting law, and so our attorney has given us uh some guidance here to cure, and that's the the point of uh one-two is make a declaration to preemptively cure potential violations of deliberations as defined under Idaho open meeting law of the council, declare certain actions, if any void and null and commitment to ensure compliance.

So as such, uh I wanted to share with council that in the city has complied with a public record request related to mayoral appointment, and city council has done all within its discretion to be compliant with all applicable laws, including open meeting law.

Further, uh to preserve the integrity of the decision is being solely upon the council to make and prevent undue influence by outside parties.

Uh I'm requesting that council members at times to keep material from premature disclosure.

Um to remove all doubt of mystery.

The council is providing recent coordination emails regarding tonight's vote as well as completed questionnaires by three possible candidates.

So the request for questionnaires to be put together or questionnaire and subsequently getting that two council members uh raised a question whether uh my communication may have crossed a boundary there, and so we're just working to cure and to make sure that we have that information out uh to the public and that the public is able to be informed and uh on such matters.

So therefore uh need uh councillor need to know are we making are we doing a motion and an acceptance on this?

Council president, thank you.

Yes, uh before you is a resolution that we can share here for um those viewing online and here in the room and madam clerk, would you like me to share that or our IT department?

Every I can share it right now.

Council president, what is before you?

Um I apologize the font may not be uh super big for those in the back of the room.

Um the copies though are available.

Um, clerk's office has receipt of this, and it will be added to uh the agenda item.

Um council president, if you'd like we can read through this right now.

Um it what you've summarized captures what is in here.

Um a council vote on this resolution would be forthcoming to pass that before we proceed with the later agenda items.

Okay.

So council a motion to pass this resolution.

President Bills, I move to approve the resolution as presented on the screen and before us here.

Second.

We have a motion and a second.

Is there any questions or discussion?

Clerk will call the roll.

Scog, yes.

Yes.

Rodriguez.

Yes.

Reynolds.

Griffin.

Yes.

All in favor.

Motion carries.

Action one three, or excuse me, item one three is an action item.

However, I'm going to uh speak to it, but I'm gonna we're gonna defer it at the moment.

Uh the aspect was for council discussion to vote on chief of staff modified responsibility.

Uh council will uh some of that information didn't get uh completely put together and out to you for adequate uh review, and so we're going to uh postpone that uh the idea was to work on a little further uh chief of staff's responsibility for clarity uh going forward.
