From the transcript
It was addressed to, uh, our city clerk. To the City of North Pole Council, once again I want to say thank you for considering and supporting this ordinance. It is really important to me, and I appreciate your thoughts and time on this. I was able to read the new version of the ordinance where it creates a utility on-call leave bank, and we accrue 1 hour per leave for each calendar day on call, which I completely support this idea. It seems like a fair compensation for us for being restricted and staying available to respond to utility emergencies.
