And sometimes it's just good to get some fresh thinking and new blood in. And if we do approve this contract, we will actually be saving $32,725 over a five year period compared to the previous fees charged by the previous firm. So. I would certainly move approval or of the recommendation. I second it especially given the. From a pool of eight candidates. And a city auditor was on the selection team. Any other comments? All those in favor. I oppose motion unanimously passes. Thank you. Now of. In regards to the other the balance of today's agenda numbers. What would you like us to do? My opinion? Yes. My opinion is that we continue the matter. Moreau but doing so if if if allowable under Brown Act and and that's an ordinance because no 130 right now and you know you just think that will be fresher and the public would be better served. So like yes I just make clarify. So just to be sure that what we're saying here, all of the items that are still remaining, you want to continue to tomorrow night's meeting that correct. It's just technically it's actually tonight because. We. Also know but in regards to her question is is the answer yes now staff. If we just if we do all of them, I think the priority is the referrals is what I had heard of, and I guess we can try again to address that tomorrow. So and if there's if there's some items that can wait, then maybe we could get together. We can discuss that to. Met a mayor asking a question to the city attorney. So is the correct way to proceed and make a motion to recess. And. Uh, what, what. You should do. Is motion to continue. The specified items to a date certain meeting, which would be today, but later today. Okay. If I may, I may help you, too. And I'm just. So I'm looking at Mrs. Warmer than item six eyes six J and six L which were not handled tonight. You we do not have to have them handled tomorrow. Those can be those. I would suggest you move those to the meeting of February 3rd so that you can focus on what you're going to be doing tomorrow and getting the referrals done if that's what you're going to do. 66 J and six L do not have to be done tomorrow. They can be done on February 3rd. Thank you very much. All right. It says that. So our February 3rd agenda is not too crowded already. No, no, it is not. All right. It's pretty light. I just approached him. Okay. So, Madam Chair. Yes, I would move to move it in the manner that the city attorney had indicated. To continue the items, other specified items other than six. I just and AJ and AJ now. So which will be dealt with on February 3rd. So as we speak in the specificity, are we talking about? Can we specify then is that nine? Yes. And then the balance in the referrals, it's those items. Nine are the referrals, nine and ten and ten. I can second that 1003. You will pick it up tomorrow. Okay. And we have a second. Any comments? All right. All those in favor. I. Suppose. No motion passes for the one. Oh. You can. Yeah, I know. All right, I think we should. All right. Thank you. And, uh, the meeting resumes tomorrow. 630, and we are here? Yes. So we look forward to seeing you back. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
