Motion carries number 18 report from public work and. It's very late. I'm sorry, it's Tony, not Ramone. Thank you. I was like, Who's Ramone? But I didn't say anything. I have no idea. They have the same last name. They need to work on different things. Next report from Report from Public Works and Financial Management. Recommendation to award 12 contracts for as needed professional engineering services in an aggregate amount not to exceed $36 million citywide. Thank you. There's a motion and a second is any public comment on this? Mr. Goodhew. I wondered when the MQ MQ rather issued the alert last Thursday afternoon. This really strains your factory senses. This is. Highly irresponsible. We're talking about $36 million. Now had we had a council and a management. Who would be able to ride and stand side by side with Caesar's wife. This would not be a problem. But this is essentially. Like giving a teenager $36 million and sending them into the mall. Let them shop. There should be specific strings attached to this. Otherwise what we're faced with and what you're faced with. Is some mental twit from the 14th floor. Going off on their own on a project. With a bankroll of. A portion of $36 million. That's dereliction of duty on your part. And it's malfeasance on the part of the managers. City manager. Maybe he thinks Euro nine stool pigeons. I don't know and don't know any better. But you need to rethink this period. Because it does not speak well for you. And this is one of the reasons. One of the reasons. Well, you'll be getting that visit in January. And one of the reasons why. And underscoring the imperatives. Of having a new mayor. And some new fellow travelers who are. Within this city. This is not a way this is not a good sound way to run a government, period. If you want if you want to spend $36 million, then lay it out. And like Martin Luther King nailed it to the door and say, this is the project we want. This is what it's going to cost us. That's the way a responsible council acts. Thank you. Period. Next item, please. We need a we voted. Let's let's vote. Let's vote, period. Yeah. Madam Clerk. Period. Can we please get the next item? Councilman. Councilman. Period. Councilman Austin. Cost Councilman Austin. Motion carries.
