Yeah. >> Uh, next is resolution 202618, a resolution appointing and confirming community development program representatives for 2026. Is there any discussion on this? >> I'll make the motion.
>> And second. >> Second. >> Uh, Councilman Donovan, >> yes. >> Councilwoman Kenny, >> no. >> Councilman Delasio, >> no. >> Councilman >> no. >> Mayor Boesco,
>> yes. That's most likely a council appointment. Um it has its origin or or it's um it's required by the Mammoth County um plan and the uh the county
actually requires I believe the council to uh make that appointment. So I'm going to verify that. Um, and I'm just telling you that because you may want to um consider who was the council you may
want to appoint. Okay. Uh, next is resolution 202625. This is a resolution appointing and confirming municipal prosecutor and alternate municipal prosecutor. Um, did anyone want to discuss this first?
>> No, we have to make the motion first. >> I'll make the motion. >> Second. >> Okay. Is there any discussion [cough] um [clears throat] on this resolution? >> If not, we'll proceed with the roll call.
>> Uh, Councilwoman Donovan, >> yes. >> Councilman Kenny, >> no. >> Councilman Delasio, >> no. Council member Moroni, >> no. >> Mayor Bafasco, >> yes. >> Next is resolution 2026 26, a resolution appointing and
confirming engineer and alternate consulting engineers. Would someone like to make a motion? >> I'll make the motion. >> Second. >> Any uh discussion by any of the council members on this? I I think the discussion on a couple of
these is we had the price breakouts from all the bids received. Uh there were two other engineers that came in with better pricing, some of which have already worked in this town. So for that reason, I'm not voting for this appointment. >> Any other comments? >> Um I would like to say that it's been a
pleasure to work with our burough engineer, Jim Morris, and um we'll be happy to vote yes to affirm him. >> Hey, April. Donovan, >> yes. >> Council McKenna, >> no. >> Councilman Delasio,

professional. >> We haven't gone through the comment section yet. >> Okay. So we can >> motion >> I'll make I'll second that motion. Are there any comments on this? [clears throat] >> I will repeat myself but yes we had

Street. Congratulations, gentlemen. Uh question about the resolutions. I don't see um uh BA uh Kain on the resolutions for reappoint. Can we can you tell me where that stands? >> I would rather not start answering
questions tonight. This is really the comment section, but I will answer your question. If you look in the ordinances, the VA appointment is made by the mayor and the business administrator or burough administrator serves for the entire term of the mayor.
>> The entire term? Yes. >> And at my discretion. >> So he doesn't have to be reappointed. >> Exactly. Until you no longer are. >> Right. >> Thank you. >> Can I just ask a quick question on that? Um why I have in my hand the resolution from the three prior years. Uh I don't
I'm not going to allow further comments. We're at the public comment section and uh the only people who should be speaking at this point are members of the public. The agenda is over with. So let's just continue with the with the
public comment. That question we can deal with if you'd like at the next meeting perhaps during the work session. >> Okay. Excuse me. I'm back. 134 B Street. So am I understanding then that there was an appointment in resolution form
each year. So there's not this year. So even though it's at the discretion of the mayor, you're not doing it this year for the first time since you've been appointed mayor. >> Those prior those prior resolutions were not necessary. >> Is that true, Mayor attorney?
>> Not mayor yet. >> Not yet. Good luck. um to to resolutions. >> Question. Yeah. The the the resolutions for [clears throat] the prior years were unnecessary. Um once a a burough
administrator is appointed um they serve for the it's with advice and consent and that was done. Um, and after that you don't need a resolution because the BA serves during the term of the mayor.
That's our ordinance. >> Okay. >> So, did you have another question? I think I probably didn't hit your question directly. >> No, that was my question. Like why why was it done three prior times but not this time? >> Yeah, it was done but it wasn't necessary. So, it's not
>> Okay. Thank you. So the the thing is if okay any further comments please come up and state your name and address. >> Can I have a motion to close the public session and adjourn the meeting? >> I'll make that motion. >> Second.
>> All in favor? >> I
