[0:00] put that out there if we put Roberta and
Eddie in the hallway for two minutes
[0:08] would you be supportive or opposed to be
let you know who clerk Vanessa Garett is
[0:14] supportive
[0:18] of uh no no no no no she has no no power
over our proceedings obviously we're
[0:25] politicians there's political influence
if I keep my
[0:28] mouth not voting at
all but
[0:33] she if you say no then then that's the
end of it but I just want I'm putting
[0:37] that out there to see what the feeling
is and if the feeling is no then keep it
[0:42] in my
mouth gotta is the move
[0:48] no looks like it's
no I think we cautious I think you know
[0:54] I mean I think we're just being cautious
I think in a good way we're being
[0:59] cautious to make sure that we stay
within what's right and and really the
[1:06] positive is we have
two we have more candidates that were
[1:11] good but two solid candidates to bring
us to a standstill is outstanding it's
[1:16] outstanding so no matter when we walk
out of here and if if if there's a
[1:22] choice a decision made we all are going
to support that decision so it's not you
[1:28] know it's not pin pointing person
against a person it's making a decision
[1:32] for the best candidate for that role
would would anybody like to make a
[1:36] motion to discuss this wait wait wait
point of order are you are you asking
[1:41] for a motion for open discussion or are
you asking for okay I was going to ask I
[1:45] was the second point of order I going to
ask is would you all be willing to
[1:48] entertain a twom
minute close
[1:55] session we can do a close session for
never mind so um motion to
[2:11] discuss well I I mean this this is why
it's possible because you know there
[2:18] comes a time that if we can't fix it we
may have
[2:22] to think
[2:27] about's a motion on the floor there's a
motion on for any support to discuss
[2:32] this further yeah I support it motion's
been made to supported any discussion on
[2:37] open it back up for
discussion all those in favor
[2:45] sayos
question we two
[2:51] candidates is it possible that two
candidates maybe go up other room and
[2:56] Rise a couple of more questions
[3:01] and ask them both the same question and
see how they answer those questions I
[3:05] I'm supportive of that just not a bunch
of you know two three questions the
[3:10] question is how do we come up with you
know we we we can work very closely with
[3:18] the room and those two be in
it um two three
[3:23] questions see if we can
narrow one how do you feel
[3:35] the poers of your hands man so so we're
talking about a second
[3:40] interview basically yeah okay I I can
support
[3:45] that I would like
[3:49] to Mo motion to close discussion
motion's been made to close
[3:56] discussion in your hands to make a
motion
[4:00] well we got to vote on oh I'm sorry we
got vote so all all in favor any
[4:04] discussion while closing the discussion
no all those in favor in closing the
[4:08] discussion I any
opposed okay
[4:17] um so we're
not I make a motion take another
[4:25] vote in the same format y
I don't know I don't know
[4:34] come support and
[4:43] then there's other
way well I think there there is and if
[4:49] we ask to come questions point of order
if if no one supports motion it
[4:56] dies support for motion
[5:03] [Music]
point of
[5:06] order
R if I understood this
[5:12] correctly correct WR
[5:18] maybe ver said she'd like to change the
vote so she wanted to make a motion to
[5:24] go around the table to take another
vote you that motion to go around the
[5:32] table
[Music]
[5:34] take she just stated she want to
change this is the whole we in trying to
[5:41] get somebody to change the
vat so if I understood this correctly a
[5:48] motion needs to be made which was made
but it was just denied go around the
[5:53] table to take the boat again either Ed
or R and when it comes to if I
[6:03] correctly so you're correct so anybody
at this table is free to support
[6:09] her her motion that she put on the floor
nobody did at that point so she is free
[6:14] to make another
motion I wasn't I didn't hear clearly
[6:20] she said she wanted to change her vote
back around the table and nobody
[6:25] supported that's what I thought I was so
Roberta is free to
[6:30] motion I
believe you are this is still a point of
[6:35] order you are correct and I do see your
point perfectly um I'll say two things
[6:41] one I would HED that rera would pramp at
the motion in a way
[6:45] that landed on a particular person IE I
move the robers the clerk you know if
[6:52] she would have said either herself or
Edie in motion that would made it clear
[6:56] what she's trying to accomplish but I do
understand what you're saying I think
[6:58] you're absolutely right however her
motion died um still as a point of order
[7:03] I was prepared to make a motion to
excuse them for 4 minutes while we
[7:07] deliberated on on two or three questions
however if Roberta knows exactly where
[7:12] she wants to go she can make a very
specifically crafted motion and end it
[7:17] now so I it would be clearer if she made
that very clear recommendation in her
[7:23] motion I move that we install this
person as Clerk
[7:31] I will make a motion that we put Eddie
Fox as Clerk of
[7:39] support motion's been made in support
and any
[7:46] discussion any
discussion
[7:54] call Will yes Adam yes
Nikki
[8:02] yes
yeser
[8:07] yes yes
[8:26] [Applause]
[8:35] ier
[8:42] [Music]
[8:46] choose the clerk at the county will have
to
[8:51] probably take the oath for Edie
[9:00] Tom did you say former
deputy once Lee resigned resigned I'm
[9:06] noer because he was Le's
[9:10] appointment his authority dies when when
the clerk that appointed him is no
[9:15] longer in office he has to be
reappointed we just reappointed you but
[9:21] we Edie gets the pick is own no but I
mean I mean at a recent meeting you were
[9:26] reappointed but since Lee resigned
then you're not active I was
[9:34] reappointed when the others were
appointed back on the 20th for their
[9:38] votes but when Lee resigned I am at his
discretion so when he left I am no
[9:45] longer the deputy
clerk I'm available for the position but
[9:50] I'm no longer the deputy cler gosh this
is this wasn't shocking that shocking
[9:55] isn't it the only way that the deputy
clerk remains in office is
[10:01] just it's
a so we had unfortunately passed away
[10:06] would be different definitely continue
but when there's a resignation just
[10:10] stops and we didn't know either oh my
gosh oh my
[10:16] gosh I'm glad I stayed till the
[10:23] end if
[10:31] point point of order did you want to do
now or a private
[10:36] session
okay
[10:43] um another point of order um do you
still need to run through manager report
[10:49] board
comments or do we technically still need
[10:53] to run through I mean I'm sure there's
not one but I'm just saying for
[10:56] procedural reasons do we still need to
run through
[11:00] manag so then we would close this
meeting and then well I I I wouldn't
[11:06] there's not going be CL session
obviously and we will not motion to
[11:09] adjourn so we will still be an active
meeting but I'm saying we run through
[11:12] those at least procedur by the time he
gets back then we can motion to to be
[11:15] done I'm just trying
to do we
[11:24] have wait hold no I'm I'm just being
[11:32] um not really I mean still working on
the M program and U obviously number of
[11:39] issues that working with chat on right
now so that's basically it for right now
[11:45] so try get us out here
[11:54] quickly I'm good
[11:59] for Calvin I'm
[12:05] good
Roberto I just want to thank everybody
[12:10] for all the support I got it was
overwhelming two years Roberto two years
[12:17] I got four years no for that you can run
for yeah in 2026 you can run let's back
[12:25] let's go backward the way it should have
been and have everybody support it from
[12:29] outside but this was just going to be a
standby so somebody had to break
[12:33] it but thank
[12:39] you uh I uh have never been proud of to
work with this new group I I have to be
[12:45] honest uh I had minor reservations like
oh man we've got you know three new guys
[12:51] coming in I don't really know them what
is this going to be like and um it has
[12:55] been it has been surprisingly refreshing
so
[12:59] just incredibly
impressed um with you all as individuals
[13:04] the cation that we had as a group so far
and um RT of what you've done tonight is
[13:10] just kudos to you kudos to you
congratulations Eddie thank you just uh
[13:18] and and and thank you all not only for
coming out but for
[13:22] participating being
respectful and um I I'm just incredibly
[13:27] optimistic the direction this Township
we got something going on our hands here
[13:32] let's let's do it the right way let's
make it happen
[13:35] absolutely
[13:42] absolutely like to thank everybody for
for being here and supporting this
[13:46] process I know it's aggravating
everybody has a lot of feelings about it
[13:51] um like to congratulate Eddie I look
forward to uh to working with you and uh
[13:58] moving moving this uh Township forward I
think everyone
[14:02] involved as Roger said you know has a
feeling for this toing and and I think
[14:10] no matter what we're going to move this
place
[14:12] forward and uh you know being here and
being as open and transparent as
[14:18] absolutely possible I think is a great
thing we don't all have to agree on
[14:22] everything and I think that uh probably
opened a lot of people's eyes on their
[14:28] feelings was uh who's who's all aligned
with one another so I think the the
[14:35] agenda of this board as a whole is
moving Bridgeport forward getting some
[14:40] things having things here supporting our
businesses and doing those those types
[14:46] of
things and healthy debates absolutely um
[14:51] Roberto I I do really appreciate you
breaking this St mate and moving us
[14:56] forward I think that really
ifies the reason that I
[15:02] stood for
you that was that was really a top
[15:11] notch
[15:15] all's ready what point of order we would
be waiting for time obviously
[15:22] but is it improper for me to ask when
and how that election committee vacancy
[15:28] is fed
and I don't want it I'm just asking for
[15:31] my clarity and if this isn't the right
form it's not
[15:39] you I mean I I didn't want to do it now
I just want to know itail
[15:44] okay uh do I have to make a motion to
