From the transcript
I've also heard people concerned after— well, we'll see how this goes, but there would be the potential of having 3 different ballots in that November election, and that could be confusing to people. But it could be offset by the greater turnout for our city elections, and that was part, you know, so it's kind of weighing these things. And then also the reason we didn't do it like other cities have already is because our code wouldn't allow us to do it that soon. So this is the time where we can choose to do it, you know, move it to November or not. Okay, did you have anything else to say?
