From the transcript

People are significantly disadvantaged, but that doesn't mean that the city should just be rolling over people because it can, because it has an attorney. Um, I would just ask you to be really careful and make sure that the city is not engaging in arbitrary and capricious actions then or going forward. I appreciate with interim city manager Putney, there seems to be a professionalism emerging.
