Public participation? That's like asking a cat to do the chicken dance. It's just not gonna happen. I better get creative and find a way to sneak in some citizen input without the supervisor catching on.

Haha, skip public participation? Good luck with that one. The citizens are gonna revolt and storm City Hall with pitchforks if you try that. Time to put on my negotiation hat and convince the supervisor to do this the right way.

Whoa, hold up! No public input? That's a recipe for disaster. I better double-check the legal requirements before I do anything else. This could be a real career-breaker if I mess it up.

I can't believe the supervisor wants to skip public participation! That's like planning a wedding without the bride and groom. The public deserves a voice, even if the City Council is in a hurry.
