jim murez: Jay. Do you want to go ahead and read it?

134
00:17:26.609 --> 00:17:27.749
jim murez: Do we need to read it.

135
00:17:28.760 --> 00:17:41.260
Jay Handal: I don't know that we need to meet it. Read it, but it says the Board of Offices approves Michael in as election administrator for the election plan of 2,023 and approved election plan. 2,023 budget

136
00:17:41.780 --> 00:17:45.560
jim murez: and could I have a maker. I guess that's you i'll make it.

137
00:17:45.770 --> 00:17:48.349
Vicki Halliday: I'll second to

138
00:17:48.670 --> 00:17:49.370
come in

139
00:17:51.610 --> 00:17:53.239
jim murez: Do we have any public comment?

140
00:17:54.130 --> 00:17:59.490
Vicki Halliday: let's see if any hands go up, not seeing any. Oh, Ellen.

141
00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:01.280
Vicki Halliday: go ahead, Helen.

142
00:18:01.690 --> 00:18:04.089
jim murez: give me 1 s. I got a.

143
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:13.010
jim murez: and there's one. And then there's one after Helen. I can't see the time reset. Yeah, it says 130. That's not right.

144
00:18:13.280 --> 00:18:15.400
jim murez: 2 hand hold on a second.

145
00:18:18.030 --> 00:18:22.839
Jay Handal: All right. I'm out of here.

146
00:18:26.300 --> 00:18:29.810
Vicki Halliday: Okay, okay, I'm: Sorry, Helen, go ahead, please.

147
00:18:30.100 --> 00:18:40.869
Helen Fallon: I have a couple of questions. I guess the Board Doesn't have any one? Why is the stakeholders need resulting in a special meeting emotion? This is an unprecedented event.

148
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:46.869
Helen Fallon: by the way, your your attachments! The Board did not approve an election budget.

149
00:18:46.990 --> 00:18:48.850
Helen Fallon: specific item, port and

150
00:18:48.870 --> 00:18:50.370
Helen Fallon: and Administrator.

151
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:55.969
Helen Fallon: That's not in that alternate motion number one, so the funding has not been approved.

152
00:18:56.020 --> 00:19:01.690
Helen Fallon: and I think you were supposed to send it back to the Budget Committee. But today doesn't hold any meetings

153
00:19:01.870 --> 00:19:08.460
Helen Fallon: the current motion itself is incomplete. Doesn't. Provide enough information. It doesn't say, how much you're spending.

154
00:19:08.600 --> 00:19:10.770
Helen Fallon: So how is it? Even a funding motion?

155
00:19:10.840 --> 00:19:20.159
Helen Fallon: And Nc's. I'm. Supposed to be entering into contracts, which is what this is. Proposal is without city's approval. So whereas the contract is certainly not included as an attachment one.

156
00:19:20.690 --> 00:19:29.620
Helen Fallon: and there's a few other things. But my time is running out. So you guys have a fiduciary responsibility to follow the funding guidelines about doing it for a change.

157
00:19:31.560 --> 00:19:32.800
Vicki Halliday: Thank you. Helen.

158
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.420
Vicki Halliday: Lisa, Would you like to go ahead, please?

159
00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:50.959
Lisa Redmond: Yeah, I'm going to pretty much echo all everything Helen had to say you. This motion can't even be run tonight. I mean it was kind for J. To include the previous

160
00:19:51.570 --> 00:20:03.050
Lisa Redmond: a November agenda minutes, where he thought it was approved. But if you do look at alternate motion, one which was approved, there is no mention of an election administrator, 150

161
00:20:03.070 --> 00:20:16.580
Lisa Redmond: in there. I it's also wrong, because the first thing says with the Bnc Budget elections beginning on November 26. It's urgently requested that the Budget Committee Review and approve the budget.

162
00:20:16.830 --> 00:20:30.169
Lisa Redmond: so this never went to Budget committee it, and then the current motion that we're all here for tonight doesn't mention the amount, and I also took the funding training through the city clerk's office, and i'm pretty sure

163
00:20:31.210 --> 00:20:41.279
Lisa Redmond: that you can't enter into a contract with an individual that I can't be sure of. But I just this motion. You can't run it tonight because

164
00:20:41.350 --> 00:20:45.080
Lisa Redmond: it wasn't approved, and what you think it was, and it wasn't.

165
00:20:46.780 --> 00:20:48.070
Vicki Halliday: Thanks, Lisa.

166
00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:53.830
Vicki Halliday: Jim. I see no more hands up. So thank you, Vicki: okay. So let's close public comment.

167
00:20:54.550 --> 00:20:57.760
jim murez: and go back to our agenda.

168
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:01.830
jim murez: Anybody have any comments on

169
00:21:01.860 --> 00:21:02.970
jim murez: the motion?

170
00:21:05.980 --> 00:21:08.060
jim murez: Anybody on the committee

171
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:09.680
jim murez: Raise your hand if you do.

172
00:21:13.020 --> 00:21:14.700
jim murez: Jason, go ahead, please.

173
00:21:15.620 --> 00:21:26.320
Jason Sugars: So just in in light of the few things that were that were brought up in public comment. Do we move forward? If those things are not in place, as far as an unapproved budget, etc., or we wing it. It

174
00:21:27.250 --> 00:21:42.859
jim murez: it's my understanding. Jay, maybe you'd like to to fill us in on this, but it's my understanding that the election plan itself did have the budget, and it did include an election administrator, and it did include an amount that would be paid for that election Administrator.

175
00:21:42.910 --> 00:21:43.980
Jay Handal: That's correct.

176
00:21:44.030 --> 00:21:59.620
jim murez: And okay. So it is. It's all in the actual budget. It was all in the actual plan which was part of the budget approved. We we approved both at the same meeting as one plan, and the budget and the the plan and the budget were all

177
00:21:59.780 --> 00:22:02.370
jim murez: one inclusive. Does that make sense?

178
00:22:02.820 --> 00:22:07.100
jim murez: I think some people just didn't realize that they're all there. But yeah, it was all approved at once.

179
00:22:07.150 --> 00:22:16.860
Jay Handal: And and for the record, Jim, we're not hiring him directly he's being hired through one of the 4 approved companies. That done, and the clerk have approved.

180
00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:19.110
jim murez: Okay, good to know.

181
00:22:19.340 --> 00:22:26.550
jim murez: Yeah, we should. We should probably add that name. Michael, what is the name that you

182
00:22:26.580 --> 00:22:31.309
Michael Lynn: that you go through, and i'll just put that in your parentheses. The company is called Bridge Gap.

183
00:22:31.990 --> 00:22:33.840
jim murez: Okay. One word or 2

184
00:22:34.050 --> 00:22:35.450
Michael Lynn: one word.

185
00:22:35.830 --> 00:22:43.579
Michael Lynn: I think it might be Bridge Cap. Temporary services is the full name. I sent over the work order proposal.

186
00:22:43.760 --> 00:22:48.420
Michael Lynn: so J: if you have that, or Jim, if you have that

187
00:22:49.090 --> 00:22:51.599
Michael Lynn: or actually, I think it sends to J. So

188
00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:53.730
Michael Lynn: that will have the full name on it.

189
00:22:54.260 --> 00:22:55.470
Michael Lynn: But I believe that.

190
00:22:56.150 --> 00:22:58.530
Michael Lynn: But it's definitely Bridge Gap. One word.

191
00:22:58.600 --> 00:23:00.919
jim murez: Okay, Jay, can you check that real quick.

192
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:03.150
Jay Handal: Let me take a look.

193
00:23:03.170 --> 00:23:14.599
Michael Lynn: Okay. And and while he's doing that, let me clarify one thing. Yeah, this city is the one who would be once the board approves. Then the city creates the contract with Bridge Gap.

194
00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:18.990
Michael Lynn: So it's not the Nc. That creates the contract. It's the city

195
00:23:19.430 --> 00:23:20.260
jim murez: right.

196
00:23:21.320 --> 00:23:23.290
robertthibodeau: Hey, Jim? Yes.

197
00:23:24.030 --> 00:23:28.779
jim murez: who was that, Mr. Tib? And that joined us. Okay, great. Let me

198
00:23:29.220 --> 00:23:33.689

jim murez: Robert. Good!

200
00:23:39.280 --> 00:23:43.950
Jay Handal: Hmm! Can I ask Michael when he sent that? Because i'm trying to find it?

201
00:23:44.230 --> 00:23:46.990
Michael Lynn: probably.

202
00:23:47.690 --> 00:23:49.450
Michael Lynn: When do we talk Saturday?

203
00:23:49.650 --> 00:23:50.739

jim murez: Okay, you want to go ahead?

220
00:24:49.930 --> 00:24:55.969
Michael Jensen: Sure, I just I feel like it's Ground Hog Day with the election funding

221
00:24:57.730 --> 00:25:00.420
Michael Jensen: because this is like the fourth meeting we've had on this.

222
00:25:00.710 --> 00:25:02.380
Michael Jensen: and so i'm just

223
00:25:02.860 --> 00:25:06.970
Michael Jensen: and i'm sorry i'm like Ill prepared for this, because i'm still

224
00:25:07.110 --> 00:25:08.050
Michael Jensen: commuting

225
00:25:08.260 --> 00:25:09.590
Michael Jensen: but

226
00:25:10.250 --> 00:25:12.769
Michael Jensen: what what happened

227
00:25:12.850 --> 00:25:14.230
Michael Jensen: so far like.

228
00:25:14.330 --> 00:25:17.580
Michael Jensen: Can somebody just like go through the background here.

229
00:25:18.710 --> 00:25:23.580
Michael Jensen: or J. Explain why we're having another meeting today on

230
00:25:23.710 --> 00:25:26.979
Michael Jensen: I mean, I feel like i'm not crazy. This is like the fourth time we've

231
00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:28.490
Michael Jensen: talking about.

232
00:25:28.510 --> 00:25:45.130
jim murez: We have. We have to go through the various steps, and and the first step was approving a plan and the budget for that plan, and then the next step, Was that that we we voted to not allow anyone who had

233
00:25:45.140 --> 00:26:04.629
jim murez: filed for candidacy to participate in the election process, and as a result we needed to hire an administrator. So we were looking, and and Jay was finally able to to get a hold of Michael, who has handled our elections several times in the past, and is very experience at this

234
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:13.520
jim murez: and and previously several months ago, and we asked him he was unavailable, and now he is available. So he's agreed to take that on

235
00:26:13.760 --> 00:26:31.470
jim murez: and so we're using the the budget line. Item, that is, that was in the plan, but we didn't have a name again. I recall that we approved the number, but we didn't say what we were going to spend it all right. And so so this number is is the number, for this is in there. I believe it was $2,000,

236
00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:46.450
jim murez: and I believe he's agreed to to do it for that, and and then that will get us through the rest of the election cycle. So at this point we're only up to the candidate filing, which closes tomorrow. and and then after that.

237
00:26:46.460 --> 00:27:01.099
jim murez: All of the candidates will no longer be able to participate in anything having to do with the election process. And once that occurs, there's still a whole lot of other things in the election plan, advertising and and promotion.

238
00:27:01.110 --> 00:27:20.249
jim murez: and and you know, all outreach. There's going to be some meetings that are going to be held some orientations and things all of that kind of stuff still has to be managed. And and Michael is gonna hopefully, if we agree, will be the person that handles that. Otherwise we'll be stuck in sort of a place of limbo after tomorrow

239
00:27:20.260 --> 00:27:22.679
jim murez: with with nobody steering that ship.

240
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:24.520
Michael Jensen: Okay, Thank you.

241
00:27:25.560 --> 00:27:31.699
Michael Lynn: You know what i'm just gonna send it directly over to you, Jim.

242
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:38.409
jim murez: If you just see it, you could just read it to me right now. It's a bridge gap. One word temp services.

243
00:27:40.270 --> 00:27:42.909
Michael Lynn: Now, I gotta move stuff around on here.

244
00:27:42.930 --> 00:27:48.620
jim murez: If you just read it. I don't need. I don't need the right now. Nope, just bridge gap by itself.

245
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:51.130
jim murez: Just Bridge Gap. No temp services. Okay.

246
00:27:51.370 --> 00:27:53.470
Michael Lynn: Nope. Okay.

247
00:27:56.280 --> 00:28:00.679
jim murez: All right. So that so it's now in there, and it makes reference to you as that Bridge Gap person?

248
00:28:00.850 --> 00:28:02.070
jim murez: right.

249
00:28:02.170 --> 00:28:03.439
jim murez: Okay, perfect.

250
00:28:03.520 --> 00:28:04.529
jim murez: Thank you, sir.

251
00:28:04.710 --> 00:28:07.000
jim murez: whoops. What did I just do?

252
00:28:07.970 --> 00:28:13.259
jim murez: Sorry, everybody. I think I clicked on the link rather than staying on the back.

253
00:28:15.530 --> 00:28:20.810
jim murez: okay. Did we have any other, Mike Mikkel? Did you? Your hand could go down if your questions been answered.

254
00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:27.040
jim murez: If we have no other questions at this point.

255
00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:31.049
jim murez: I guess we'll go ahead and take the vote.

256
