would appreciate the opportunity to do so. Let me let me first say that I have, I have been accused of something that I have not done. So let me just clear, clear the record. And you can go back and clearly see this in the October 12. Board meeting. Board Chairman Gaines share with me the presence of a cup Ormos that appear to be inappropriate. This was shared through a telephone conversation that I had with Mr. Sherr in the presence of the Inspector General, as my witness, this is the reason I mentioned the cup, I did not mention the board member, I mentioned the cup, doing his presentation of the annual report, you can go back and check and never mentioned the board members name. But I had no way of knowing about it, unless I had been told and I was that was shared with me by the Board Chair via phone conversation. I've had further conversation with him, to remind him that this is where I first heard about the cup. Again, you know, I did not call for the removal of his girl. I only mentioned the cup. Now I had no conversation with PVA, and there's they're supporting the removal of hurt. But it has come to my attention that the actions of this board the production of to press releases to the media, which is outside of our policy for City Commission, board or committees to do, I find it very difficult to believe that this board can continue to function with the original intent that I had in mind, when we led the effort to bring this board to fruition. It was prior to my first election to the City Commission that a meeting was held by a group of citizens, predominantly African American, who asked for a board such as this. And this was back in 2018. And this is why I brought this board forward and work very closely with the city city attorney looking around the state to find a model to follow. And so I am very bested in making sure that I kept my promise to do this. But we've got to make sure that this board remains credible and can work to make sure that our community and the police are you have a good working relationship. So I honor that request by doing it. And based on the issuance of those two authorized press releases. I feel as though the board has gone away from its mission and has been focused are distracted by these these things. And we need to return to that. And I believe in order to just to be able to do that. And be able to continue to have the transparency and working together as a community that this motion that I'm making is an effort to get us there, get us back to where we're supposed to be. So for that reason, I stand by the motion that I've made. Thank you.
