[24:24] order a lot of those are in now so the sound should be uh 100% better um on

[24:32] their part and our part and and soon we'll have the cameras uh which will be

[24:36] live streaming for our citizens that don't want to uh attend they can watch

[24:42] it from home so uh the system should be complete when they get the rest of the

[24:47] backordered things on uh in uh on the shipment and I also wanted to U make a

[24:53] note because been talking to several folks um and and uh thank the the board

[25:00] for um being patient with our uh finances but I months ago I made a

[25:08] comment that we were going to try to uh go this year uh the 2021 budget year

[25:14] without a tax anticipation loan and don't want to jinx us but um it looks

[25:20] like uh we will be doing that uh first time in probably a decade that we have

[25:25] not gotten a tax anticipation loan to make it uh to February so um the uh

[25:31] Financial uh stability of the city is strong um in the first time we've done

[25:37] not uh taking out a tax anticipation l so good positive note uh during this

[25:44] time of Co Stress and Anxiety certainly is Mr Jim thank you

[25:52] all the department heads thank the board for their good work for watching the

[25:56] taxpayers money

[26:02] thank you Mr Mayor I got one more uh than hanco from Mr Robinson um back uh

[26:10] at the onset of Co the board uh allowed um the city and the um

[26:18] restaurants mainly to uh use bandit signs which in our ordinances bandit

[26:24] signs are prohibited um and uh they've also taken advantage of

[26:32] some banners uh up in front of their restaurants talking about the

[26:37] drive-thru um some questions came up to Mr Green this week and we're just trying

[26:43] to think through uh how long uh you as the board of alderman want to extend

[26:49] that um for restaurant owners to be able to use bandit signs we are getting ready

[26:56] to come up on Election time and there'll be a lot more bandit signs out um but

[27:02] wanted to throw that out to you all right now um that uh ordinance you all

[27:09] had wav for them to put up signs saying drivethru only and advertise and keep

[27:17] the businesses strong so want to get your advice on

[27:23] that so you you want to know the opinion of the board whether they would like for

[27:28] the restaurants to be able to continue to use the Bandit Signs and

[27:33] Banners until further notice yeah we're getting questions on time frame how long

[27:40] can we do this um you know they're being very understanding and they're very

[27:44] thankful that we've allowed them to do that to bring business in um I know it's

[27:50] helped a lot of the restaurants that have taken advantage of that does

[27:55] anybody on the board want to make a comment

[28:13] Roberts United States I think we board only one person

[28:20] I think you should still Al to do that

[28:29] now

[28:54] wepp I think he was asking kind of on on my

[28:58] and we don't need a time frame per se we just have business owners priers come in

[29:03] with questions about how long can we do this what types of signs are allowed if

[29:08] I put this up are we going to have notice when it is no longer in effect

[29:13] because what they really don't want to happen is to do something that's not on

[29:17] the books and then get fined for it or have code enforcement get get them in

[29:21] trouble

[29:25] essentially have

[29:46] I would like to make exted and that when it does decide to stop it all the

[29:55] businesses that are using business in the city nobody gave a two we notice to

[30:01] get the signs down that was given Ace period where nobody would be

[30:10] signed clarification make position the board official Alman Jones made that

[30:17] motion and it was seconded by Alman Robins is there any

[30:22] discussion may I mean excuse me Mr Robinson does that include

[30:28] Signs and Banners yes that's the signs that they're using to bring the business

[30:34] in now if they're using them let them continue to use them until we decide

[30:39] that that's we need to stop and whenever we decide we need to stop give the

[30:43] businesses a two weeks grace period to get the signs down and that gives them

[30:49] everybody happy they don't get bu for something that weally said it's okay

[30:57] [Music] all of them bless

[31:00] up uh the when they LIF the restrictions and that should be sufficient in two in

[31:07] two weeks after that I'm sorry Al I I didn't understand

[31:12] you sir with then uh when they left all the

[31:17] restrictions so they can go back to normal every day doing the restaurant

[31:22] and stuff that be and give two weeks
