Thank you. A motion and a second if you would please indicate your vote accordingly. Thank you. The motion passes. Thank you. I would like to request and move that we conduct an executive session on next week's agenda under 551.071 of the government code to seek legal advice from the city attorney relating to disciplinary action involving council member from district 4. to board the mayor to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor. I would like to ask a motion to add a motion to the mayor to the mayor to the mayor. I would like to ask a motion to add a motion to the mayor to the mayor. I would like to ask a motion to add an executive session item to next week's meeting. Point of order, Mayor? Yes. There isn't a place in the agenda to add agenda items for the next meeting. I think this falls under D which is. Except for D, take action necessary as a result of the closed executive session. I thought I understood it was dismissed. I agree. I don't think that that was handled correctly. It should have been that there was, this was going to be the action taken. So it was dismissed and passed. It should be done. I'd like to take a reboot on that. To be clear, number one, the language in the agenda is broad enough to include the motion that was just made regarding the executive session for next week. Assuming that it was necessary as a result of matters discussed during the executive session, number one. Number two, under the Open Meetings Act, it doesn't have to be on a posted agenda t …

Welcome everybody to the City Farmers Branch City Council study session for Tuesday, September 15th. Our first item of business will be public comments. I do not have anybody sign up to speak at this time, so we'll move right into study session items. Item C1, review and discuss consent and regular agenda items. Councilman Gonzalez. Nothing for me, Mayor. Councilman Bennett. Nothing for me, Mayor. Councilman Reed. Nothing for me, Mayor. Councilwoman Villafranca. Nothing. Thank you, Mayor. Councilman Neal. Yes, I'd like to request that executive session item D.2 be brought forward to the regular agenda for public discussion. Okay. That item would then be, D.2 would become item L.3. If I may. Yes, sir. Item D.2 is not a consent agenda item. It's an executive session. It's an executive session item specifically listed in the agenda for the purposes of legal advice. It is not something like for consent. One council member can insist that it be made open. To be honest with you, because it does involve legal advice and it wouldn't necessarily involve the disclosure, the public disclosure of what would otherwise be attorney-client privilege information, I think it's something that the council needs to vote on. I don't think it can be done unilaterally. So are you suggesting I need to make a motion to move? Is this a regular item? Yes, sir. Okay. Then I move that we move item D.2 to the regular agenda. I second. All right. We have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Seeing …

Thank you. And have we got or given any more thought to maybe owning the equipment or is it that it changes every year or? So it will change. It just seems like it's a recurring cost of renting every year if we owned it maybe. Yeah, so we can change it during our bid like processing and then we could also change the contract each year when we do our renewal letter. So it is kind of changeable. So we have a three-year agreement with them now? Is this, are we in their second or third year with them? So we're on our last renewal. So this will be a fresh start on the contract. Okay. All right.
