From the transcript
Okay, I think in previous meetings there were—. There was—. There have obviously been multiple requests by council members for the NJUS board to move their meeting location from the power plant to City Hall. And I think there was a desire expressed either the last meeting or 2 meetings ago to formalize that request because up to this point, it's just been individual council members asking whoever was, you know, doing the operations report And there was, I think, some folks that wanted us to formalize the request. So this basically formalizes the request on behalf of the City Council to do what individual council members have been already asking to do.
