          [00:00:01]
AND I 
          [Call to Order ]
AM GOING TO CONVENE THE, UH, SPECIAL CALLED MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          UH, THAT WAS SET FOR TODAY, UH, OCTOBER 27TH, UH, 2022. 
          UH, WE ARE IN THE, UH, BOARDS AND COMMISSION. 
          UM, WE'RE SORRY, WE'RE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS. 
          I'M TALKING WHILE I'M LOOKING FOR PIECES OF PAPER. 
          AND WE'RE IN THE COUNCIL, UH, AUTOPILOT AND WE'RE ON THE, THE, THE COUNCIL CHAMBER. 
          UH, AND THE, UH, TIME IS, UH, 3 35. 
          [1. Discuss legal issues related to City of Austin 2022 labor negotiations (Private consultation with legal counsel - Section 551.071 of the Government Code). ]
UH, WE ONLY HAVE ONE ITEM TO CONSIDER, UH, IN THIS, UH, SPECIAL CALLED, UH, AND, UH, WE'RE NOW GOING TO GO INTO CLOSED SESSION TO TAKE UP THAT ONE ITEM PURSUANT TO SECTION 5 51 0 7, 1 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE. 
          WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO THE CITY OF AUSTIN 2022 LABOR NEGOTIATIONS. 
          I THINK WE ARE ALL HERE. 
          DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO US JUST GOING INTO THE BACK ROOM WITH THE EXECUTIVE SESSION ROOM TO DISCUSS THIS? THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. 
          UH, WHEN WITHOUT OBJECTION, THEN WE'LL GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION ON THIS ITEM KA KITCHEN. 
          WANNA SAY BEFORE WE GO? UH, YEAH, I HAVE A, I HAVE A QUESTION CUZ WE STILL HAVE 41 AND 45, AND I'M NOT CERTAIN WHY WE'RE NOT DOING THOSE FIRST, JUST SO THAT WE CAN GET PAST THIS ITEM. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT HOW LONG DO WE, UH, I I JUST WANNA, I DON'T WANNA PUSH 41 AND 45 TO, TO A POINT WHERE WE DON'T HAVE, MY HOPE IS WE'RE GONNA GET ALL THIS DONE BEFORE DINNER. 
          OKAY. 
          I, BECAUSE I, THOSE, BOTH OF THOSE ITEMS ARE IMPORTANT. 
          I WANT TO GET 'EM BOTH REAL IMPORTANT TO ME. 
          I THINK WE CAN GET PAST 'EM BEFORE DINNER. 
          IF WE NEED MORE TIME IN EXECUTIVE SESSION THAN WHAT I ANTICIPATE THIS IS GOING TO BE. 
          THEN WE WILL RECESS OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION, COME BACK OUT, HANDLE THESE TWO ITEMS, AND THEN GO BACK INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION IF WE NEED TO. 
          OKAY. 
          I, I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME YOU'RE THINKING WE NEED FOR 41 AND 45, UM, RIGHT. 
          IT'S GONNA BE 31 MINUTES EXACTLY ON ITEM NUMBER 41 BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'VE AGREED WE'RE GOING TO DO. 
          UH, AND, UH, ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL ORDINANCE, I THINK THAT, UH, THE, THE REALLY THE ONLY ISSUE IS GOING TO BE THE FIVE AMENDMENTS BROUGHT BY COUNCIL MEMBER OF VELA. 
          I COULD BE WRONG. 
          OKAY. 
          I'M, I'M NOT CERTAIN WHY WE'RE LIMITING 41 TO 30 MINUTES. 
          THAT SEEMS PRETTY SHORT. 
          UM, BUT, UM, BUT I, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE, WE COULD COME BACK TO IT. 
          IT WAS THE CONVERSATION I HAD WITH COUNCIL MEMBER TOVO. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, AS, AS PROBABLY THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF TIME OKAY. 
          TO, TO PUT AGAINST THAT. 
          SHE JUST WASN'T HERE, SO I DIDN'T THAT'S OKAY. 
          NO, SHE AND I HAD TALKED ABOUT THIS THIS MORNING. 
          THE MESSAGE POST THAT I PUT ON WAS ONE THAT CAME OUTTA THE CONVERSATION I HAD WITH HER. 
          OKAY. 
          WITH THAT, LET'S ALL GO BACK TO THE EXECUTIVE SESSION, UH, EXECUTIVE SESSION. 
          IN CLOSED SESSION, WE DISCUSS LEGAL ISSUES RELATED TO ITEM NUMBER ONE. 
          IT IS, UH, 4 58. 
          UH, AND WITH THAT, HAVING TAKEN CARE OF ALL OUR BUSINESS IN THE SPECIAL CALL MEETING, THAT MEETING IS ADJOURNED. 
          AND I'M GONNA RECONVENE THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL.
