was hoping someone could call her and
[22:24] explain what needed to be done
[23:11] yes sir I think she's uh you know
working at the post office because she
[23:16] has no clue really what she needs to do

uh John Mark um he has been working with
[24:20] this company we've had a
couple um pieces of equipment on back
[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
