1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:11,639
put that out there if we put Roberta and
Eddie in the hallway for two minutes

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:17,440
would you be supportive or opposed to be
let you know who clerk Vanessa Garett is

3
00:00:14,879 --> 00:00:17,440
supportive

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:27,439
of uh no no no no no she has no no power
over our proceedings obviously we're

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:31,439
politicians there's political influence
if I keep my

6
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:36,000
mouth not voting at
all but

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:40,480
she if you say no then then that's the
end of it but I just want I'm putting

8
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:43,600
that out there to see what the feeling
is and if the feeling is no then keep it

9
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:50,280
in my
mouth gotta is the move

10
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:57,480
no looks like it's
no I think we cautious I think you know

11
00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:02,440
I mean I think we're just being cautious
I think in a good way we're being

12
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:08,759
cautious to make sure that we stay
within what's right and and really the

13
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:13,640
positive is we have
two we have more candidates that were

14
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:19,720
good but two solid candidates to bring
us to a standstill is outstanding it's

15
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:24,560
outstanding so no matter when we walk
out of here and if if if there's a

16
00:01:22,119 --> 00:01:30,400
choice a decision made we all are going
to support that decision so it's not you

17
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:34,759
know it's not pin pointing person
against a person it's making a decision

18
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:39,600
for the best candidate for that role
would would anybody like to make a

19
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:43,520
motion to discuss this wait wait wait
point of order are you are you asking

20
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:46,799
for a motion for open discussion or are
you asking for okay I was going to ask I

21
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:51,560
was the second point of order I going to
ask is would you all be willing to

22
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:55,000
entertain a twom
minute close

23
00:01:55,719 --> 00:02:04,399
session we can do a close session for
never mind so um motion to

24
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:21,519
discuss well I I mean this this is why
it's possible because you know there

25
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:25,599
comes a time that if we can't fix it we
may have

26
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,599
to think

27
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:35,239
about's a motion on the floor there's a
motion on for any support to discuss

28
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:39,840
this further yeah I support it motion's
been made to supported any discussion on

29
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:43,720
open it back up for
discussion all those in favor

30
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:54,200
sayos
question we two

31
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:01,200
candidates is it possible that two
candidates maybe go up other room and

32
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,200
Rise a couple of more questions

33
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:08,120
and ask them both the same question and
see how they answer those questions I

34
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:13,799
I'm supportive of that just not a bunch
of you know two three questions the

35
00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:20,360
question is how do we come up with you
know we we we can work very closely with

36
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:26,040
the room and those two be in
it um two three

37
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:31,400
questions see if we can
narrow one how do you feel

38
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:43,519
the poers of your hands man so so we're
talking about a second

39
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:49,040
interview basically yeah okay I I can
support

40
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:49,040
that I would like

41
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:55,959
to Mo motion to close discussion
motion's been made to close

42
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:02,360
discussion in your hands to make a
motion

43
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:06,840
well we got to vote on oh I'm sorry we
got vote so all all in favor any

44
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:12,680
discussion while closing the discussion
no all those in favor in closing the

45
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:16,680
discussion I any
opposed okay

46
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:24,240
um so we're
not I make a motion take another

47
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:38,560
vote in the same format y
I don't know I don't know

48
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,560
come support and

49
00:04:43,039 --> 00:04:53,280
then there's other
way well I think there there is and if

50
00:04:49,639 --> 00:05:01,120
we ask to come questions point of order
if if no one supports motion it

51
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,120
dies support for motion

52
00:05:03,210 --> 00:05:08,800
[Music]
point of

53
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:16,440
order
R if I understood this

54
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:16,440
correctly correct WR

55
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:27,919
maybe ver said she'd like to change the
vote so she wanted to make a motion to

56
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:32,910
go around the table to take another
vote you that motion to go around the

57
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:38,440
table
[Music]

58
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:43,919
take she just stated she want to
change this is the whole we in trying to

59
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:51,280
get somebody to change the
vat so if I understood this correctly a

60
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:56,680
motion needs to be made which was made
but it was just denied go around the

61
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:02,919
table to take the boat again either Ed
or R and when it comes to if I

62
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:12,639
correctly so you're correct so anybody
at this table is free to support

63
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:17,120
her her motion that she put on the floor
nobody did at that point so she is free

64
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:23,639
to make another
motion I wasn't I didn't hear clearly

65
00:06:20,919 --> 00:06:27,680
she said she wanted to change her vote
back around the table and nobody

66
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:32,759
supported that's what I thought I was so
Roberta is free to

67
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:37,800
motion I
believe you are this is still a point of

68
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:43,599
order you are correct and I do see your
point perfectly um I'll say two things

69
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:49,160
one I would HED that rera would pramp at
the motion in a way

70
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:54,360
that landed on a particular person IE I
move the robers the clerk you know if

71
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:57,680
she would have said either herself or
Edie in motion that would made it clear

72
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:00,039
what she's trying to accomplish but I do
understand what you're saying I think

73
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:05,240
you're absolutely right however her
motion died um still as a point of order

74
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:10,400
I was prepared to make a motion to
excuse them for 4 minutes while we

75
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:14,199
deliberated on on two or three questions
however if Roberta knows exactly where

76
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:21,639
she wants to go she can make a very
specifically crafted motion and end it

77
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:27,160
now so I it would be clearer if she made
that very clear recommendation in her

78
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:31,280
motion I move that we install this
person as Clerk

79
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:41,680
I will make a motion that we put Eddie
Fox as Clerk of

80
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,080
support motion's been made in support
and any

81
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:52,840
discussion any
discussion

82
00:07:54,199 --> 00:08:04,800
call Will yes Adam yes
Nikki

83
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:11,039
yes
yeser

84
00:08:07,039 --> 00:08:11,039
yes yes

85
00:08:26,610 --> 00:08:29,720
[Applause]

86
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:38,599
ier

87
00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:45,419
[Music]

88
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:56,360
choose the clerk at the county will have
to

89
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:56,360
probably take the oath for Edie

90
00:09:00,079 --> 00:09:10,120
Tom did you say former
deputy once Lee resigned resigned I'm

91
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,120
noer because he was Le's

92
00:09:10,959 --> 00:09:18,839
appointment his authority dies when when
the clerk that appointed him is no

93
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:24,399
longer in office he has to be
reappointed we just reappointed you but

94
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:30,920
we Edie gets the pick is own no but I
mean I mean at a recent meeting you were

95
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:36,279
reappointed but since Lee resigned
then you're not active I was

96
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:43,120
reappointed when the others were
appointed back on the 20th for their

97
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:47,519
votes but when Lee resigned I am at his
discretion so when he left I am no

98
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:52,720
longer the deputy
clerk I'm available for the position but

99
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:58,320
I'm no longer the deputy cler gosh this
is this wasn't shocking that shocking

100
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:03,240
isn't it the only way that the deputy
clerk remains in office is

101
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:08,680
just it's
a so we had unfortunately passed away

102
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:14,200
would be different definitely continue
but when there's a resignation just

103
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:21,000
stops and we didn't know either oh my
gosh oh my

104
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,000
gosh I'm glad I stayed till the

105
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,640
end if

106
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:38,560
point point of order did you want to do
now or a private

107
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,560
session
okay

108
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:50,519
um another point of order um do you
still need to run through manager report

109
00:10:49,079 --> 00:10:54,680
board
comments or do we technically still need

110
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,240
to run through I mean I'm sure there's
not one but I'm just saying for

111
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:02,800
procedural reasons do we still need to
run through

112
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:07,760
manag so then we would close this
meeting and then well I I I wouldn't

113
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:11,120
there's not going be CL session
obviously and we will not motion to

114
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,880
adjourn so we will still be an active
meeting but I'm saying we run through

115
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,120
those at least procedur by the time he
gets back then we can motion to to be

116
00:11:15,959 --> 00:11:20,360
done I'm just trying
to do we

117
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:30,560
have wait hold no I'm I'm just being

118
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:42,079
um not really I mean still working on
the M program and U obviously number of

119
00:11:39,079 --> 00:11:49,200
issues that working with chat on right
now so that's basically it for right now

120
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,200
so try get us out here

121
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:58,920

let's go backward the way it should have
been and have everybody support it from

127
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:37,320
outside but this was just going to be a
standby so somebody had to break

128
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,320
it but thank

129
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:49,040
you uh I uh have never been proud of to
work with this new group I I have to be

130
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:52,600
honest uh I had minor reservations like
oh man we've got you know three new guys

131
00:12:51,079 --> 00:12:58,720
coming in I don't really know them what
is this going to be like and um it has

132
00:12:55,279 --> 00:13:01,160
been it has been surprisingly refreshing
so

133
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:07,399
just incredibly
impressed um with you all as individuals

134
00:13:04,279 --> 00:13:14,600
the cation that we had as a group so far
and um RT of what you've done tonight is

135
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:19,720
just kudos to you kudos to you
congratulations Eddie thank you just uh

136
00:13:18,199 --> 00:13:24,279
and and and thank you all not only for
coming out but for

137
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:30,040
participating being
respectful and um I I'm just incredibly

138
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:33,519
optimistic the direction this Township
we got something going on our hands here

139
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:38,639
let's let's do it the right way let's
make it happen

140
00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:38,639
absolutely

141
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:48,240
absolutely like to thank everybody for
for being here and supporting this

142
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:54,320
process I know it's aggravating
everybody has a lot of feelings about it

143
00:13:51,120 --> 00:14:01,120
um like to congratulate Eddie I look
forward to uh to working with you and uh

144
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:06,160
moving moving this uh Township forward I
think everyone

145
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:11,959
involved as Roger said you know has a
feeling for this toing and and I think

146
00:14:10,199 --> 00:14:16,399
no matter what we're going to move this
place

147
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:20,399
forward and uh you know being here and
being as open and transparent as

148
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:26,560
absolutely possible I think is a great
thing we don't all have to agree on

149
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:32,160
everything and I think that uh probably
opened a lot of people's eyes on their

150
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:37,959
feelings was uh who's who's all aligned
with one another so I think the the

151
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:43,560
agenda of this board as a whole is
moving Bridgeport forward getting some

152
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:46,839
things having things here supporting our
businesses and doing those those types

153
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:54,560
of
things and healthy debates absolutely um

154
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:59,240
Roberto I I do really appreciate you
breaking this St mate and moving us

155
00:14:56,519 --> 00:15:05,720
forward I think that really
ifies the reason that I

156
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:10,360
stood for
you that was that was really a top

157
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,440
notch

158
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:25,480
all's ready what point of order we would
be waiting for time obviously

159
00:15:22,079 --> 00:15:29,839
but is it improper for me to ask when
and how that election committee vacancy

160
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,079
is fed
and I don't want it I'm just asking for

161
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,199
my clarity and if this isn't the right
form it's not
