"On the first reading we had 5 amendments, and now here we have 10+ again because there's subsets A, B, and C. I think this is a very rushed ordinance that due to all these amendments can appear that it lacks transparency. I don't think that is the intent of this, but I think it feels that way. During my time on the assembly, I've never seen 15 amendments on an ordinance."

From the transcript
Um, this is not, uh, in regards to the 10 things, but I will speak to the amendment. Um, I think some very good, uh, points were raised, uh, one by, uh, Committee Member Knight on the process. You know, on the first reading we had 5 amendments, and now here we have 10+ again because there's subsets A, B, and C. I think this is a very rushed ordinance that due to all these amendments can appear that it lacks transparency. I don't think that is the intent of this, but I think it feels that way. During my time on the assembly, I've never seen 15 amendments on an ordinance.
