MARTIN: The question. <br />RAY: Wait, wait, wait. Roland, so I'd rather vote. George you had -. <br />MARTIN: Call for the question. <br />HIGASHI: So the vote is -. Can you read the -? <br />RAY: The motion is to approve the nomination of Mr. Yuen as recommended <br />unanimously by the committee. Okay. And point of privilege as Chair, I'm going to vote for <br />Mr. Yuen mainly because of the recommendation of the committee. Okay. All in favor, raise your <br />righthand. Okay, that carries it. All right. Thank you very much. <br />In regard to our attorney in general, a thought that occurred to me in terms of our budget is that if <br />we can figure out a way to encumber as much of the budget approved for this calendar year, then <br />we'll have the additional budget for next year, which may, you know, preclude having to go back <br />to the Council. I'm not, you know, suggesting we spend all the money we can, but I think that <br />might be wise. So I did meet with the Accounting Department, and if we can get this contract <br />going, we can, you know, we can use that to encumber a certain sum of money, you' know, this <br />year, and then we can add to that on the contract, you know, the following year, and I think that <br />might be a prudent thing to do. So, you know, I'll sit down with Steve and see what we can do to <br />get this contract moving along as quickly as possible and figure out what would be a reasonable . . <br />amount to encumber for the legal contact, you know, and then have enough money, you know, left <br />over for whatever expenses we have this year. Does everybody understand what I'm -? <br />IRVINE: You'd be encumbering just the amount we need for the legal services this <br />year, or can you encumber, you know, as much as -? <br />RAY: No, all we can do is for this year, but if we can go ahead and encumber the <br />majority of the money we have, you know, budgeted for this year, then it won't lapse. Okay. <br />HIGASHI: <br />saying? <br />With the services to be provided after this calendar year, is that what you're <br />RAY: Yeah. Yeah. So we can sit down with the County and Dixie and figure out, <br />you know, just a way to do that. Okay. So, okay, thank you very much to the committee for <br />that -, for all the hard work and that recommendation. That's great. We have an attorney picked <br />out and, hopefully, we can figure out how to get him on board and plugged in as quickly as <br />possible. Okay. <br />Okay. We are now going out of Executive Session. <br />HERKES: Are we going to do secretary? <br />10 <br />
