00:12:42,340 --> 00:12:52,060
The motion of the second is to receive found approved communications 2 through 8 and authorize the law director to prepare the necessary legislation and as amended.

169
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,720
Is there any discussions on that motion? All those in favor signify by saying aye.

170
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:02,920

171
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:06,230
Lama police department.

172
00:13:21,010 --> 00:13:21,730
Good evening.

173
00:13:22,190 --> 00:13:24,430
Sergeant Engle with the line of police department in Canine units.

174
00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:26,650
Twenty-twenty-five.

175
00:13:26,950 --> 00:13:29,410
In 2025, the line of police department came out.

176
00:13:29,410 --> 00:13:30,010
Sergeant Engle.

177
00:13:30,330 --> 00:13:31,490
Is that green light on?

178
00:13:34,460 --> 00:13:34,840
It is now.

179
00:13:35,140 --> 00:13:35,300
All right.

180
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,040
They're almost touched.

181
00:13:36,500 --> 00:13:37,320
Can you hear me?

182
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:37,860
Yes.

183
00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:39,460
All right.

184
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:43,500
In 2025, the line of police department in Canine unit expanded our Canine unit from five

185
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:48,620
We have dual purpose patrol narcotic dogs to a total of six dual purpose patrol narcotic dogs.

186
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,380
We added patrolman Nevin Stolly with his canine partner Creed.

187
00:13:52,860 --> 00:13:56,840
They graduated training in the spring of last year.

188
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,460
We have two canines assigned to each shift, first second and third shift.

189
00:14:02,140 --> 00:14:06,940
Our canines range in age from two years old all the way to eight years old.

190
00:14:08,140 --> 00:14:13,860
We recertify our canines every spring, which that is basically like a state proficiency test.

191
00:14:14,060 --> 00:14:16,880
Like children have to use that to take out of the stuff to take that in school.

192
00:14:17,060 --> 00:14:20,340
But every year we have to take a test to prove that our dogs are still competent.

193
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:26,160
And they have all these competencies that the state requires in our context detection and

194
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,880
all the other skills that they are required.

195
00:14:29,580 --> 00:14:34,060
Then additionally, further training that we do, we do 16 hours of training every month.

196
00:14:34,060 --> 00:14:55,720
The United States Supreme Court has determined that that is the amount of hours that we have to train because it's just like any other skill if you don't practice it and train it, the dogs they regress on top of that, we attended the National Association of Professional Canine Handlers, National Seminar in Alpina, Michigan, that's held every year in October.

197
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,980
There is an excess of 350 working dog team

198
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,980
Teams that attend that training, it is to my knowledge, the largest training seminar in the country. Last year, we had approximately 445 deployments of those 445 deployments. Approximately 75% of those are narcotic sniffs. The other 25% consisted of building searches, tracks and handler protection. Out of those deployments, they led to approximately 200 separate arrests. 53 of the deployments were

199
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:34,220
callouts from other agencies, such as the Allen County Sheriff's Office, the High

200
00:15:34,220 --> 00:15:38,040
State Highway Patrol, Shawnee Township Police Department, all the neighboring agencies that

201
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,180
may not have a canine available to them or one local.

202
00:15:42,020 --> 00:15:47,320
If we are close by, we have a agreement with them that we can come and we can deploy our

203
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,060
canines.

204
00:15:50,180 --> 00:15:56,880
We seized 689.08 grams of narcotics from SNFs that our canines conducted.

205
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:04,780
We had, in addition to these deployments, we conducted 10 demos for various different

206
00:16:04,780 --> 00:16:07,660
events in schools throughout the community last year.

207
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,540
We are currently awaiting the approval for donations of bullet proof and staff-resistant

208
00:16:13,540 --> 00:16:19,020
vest to be donated from the Invested Interest in Canine Foundation.

209
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,920
So those are for four of our working canines right now.

210
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:31,220
So that is all that I have to update from 2025 are there any questions any questions for Sargean?

211

324
00:24:48,850 --> 00:24:49,670
him, but he's an ordinary.

325
00:24:49,670 --> 00:24:59,570
my father-in-law, my mother, and my wife. I always joke to you guys that my mother is why I don't

326
00:24:59,570 --> 00:25:05,270
act up while I'm on the city council because she's watching on the TV, but she's here tonight. And

327
00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:11,090
so I have to be extra good, but I got to be honest with you. I'm not the only one she's watching. She's

328
00:25:11,090 --> 00:25:18,710
watching all of you guys. So you better mind yourself. I appreciate you guys for coming and supporting me

329
00:25:18,710 --> 00:25:24,790
tonight and the last thing I have is I want to remind people to be good each other. Thank you.

330
00:25:24,930 --> 00:25:26,790
Thank you. Councillor Gordon, Councillor Wilkerson.

331
00:25:26,990 --> 00:25:31,090
Mr. President, I want to echo sentiments. Welcome aboard. I'm here if you need me.

332
00:25:32,410 --> 00:25:37,850
Also, I want to piggyback on what he's talked about in family and we talked about this prior to chambers.

333
00:25:38,030 --> 00:25:42,390
I think it was Mr. Low who mentioned that he's here. I'm gone to it.

334
00:25:44,990 --> 00:25:53,230
He did act up in school because he knew that his mother would come and watching family

335
00:25:53,230 --> 00:25:56,830
tonight, people don't get nowhere by accident.

336
00:25:57,990 --> 00:26:03,570
They get there because they got people pulling for them and sometimes it's family and sometimes

337
00:26:03,570 --> 00:26:05,250
it's a next door neighbor.

338
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:08,030
With that in mind, let's continue to be good neighbors.

339
00:26:08,350 --> 00:26:08,950
Thank you, Mr. President.

340
00:26:09,130 --> 00:26:09,690
Thank you, Counselor.

341
00:26:09,690 --> 00:26:12,210
Councillor Wilkerson, Councillor Love.

342
00:26:13,550 --> 00:26:14,230
Thank you.

343
00:26:15,650 --> 00:26:17,090
So be out on the first night.

344
00:26:18,370 --> 00:26:19,590
That was a hard sale.

345
00:26:20,790 --> 00:26:21,750
Real quick.

346
00:26:22,090 --> 00:26:25,190
I don't know if this has ever been done in city chambers before.

347
00:26:25,490 --> 00:26:27,790
But anybody that came to support me tonight would you stand up?

348
00:26:30,330 --> 00:26:30,810
My

349
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:43,160
family, my friends, even got past council back there.

350
00:26:43,980 --> 00:26:45,360
I appreciate every one of you guys.

351
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:47,540
I don't want to call out because I'll get all emotional and mushy.

352
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,200
But I really appreciate y'all's support.

353
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:54,380
It's times I know I fly off and say things.

354
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:59,240
People don't understand and I don't know if it's discernment or what.

355
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,720
But I do want to say this.

356
00:27:01,940 --> 00:27:03,340
To the people that was in third ward.

357
00:27:04,420 --> 00:27:06,740
There was a period when I thought I abandoned third ward.

358
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,820
They didn't understand I had to take care of home first, and that's what I did.

359
00:27:11,820 --> 00:27:16,140
So that was a hard eight years because I always felt like I let third ward down.

360
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,420
But I'm back, I'm ready, those that supported me, those that went out in the vote.

361
00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:22,520
I appreciate you.

362
00:27:24,420 --> 00:27:30,580
Straight forward to individual, a plan on giving it to them raw, but we're going to be firm

363
00:27:30,580 --> 00:27:34,740
correct and just and do things indecently in order.

364
00:27:35,820 --> 00:27:41,800
With that being said, for those that are under the Sonoma voice, our president has

365
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,040
That's placed me as the chair of public works.

366
00:27:44,820 --> 00:27:46,800
If you have any questions, concern of public works,

367
00:27:47,380 --> 00:27:49,300
I ask the two, speak with me.

368
00:27:50,380 --> 00:27:52,960
Website has my telephone number, also has email.

369
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,360
The other two committees that I set on is neighborhood concerns,

370
00:27:56,740 --> 00:28:01,180
which I hear about a lot, which is the reason why I pushed

371
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:01,820
to come back.

372
00:28:02,780 --> 00:28:04,140
And I did not do this on my own.

373
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,940
I want everybody in the city to understand

374
00:28:05,940 --> 00:28:08,040
that I don't make moves without praying first.

375
00:28:08,460 --> 00:28:08,680
Amen.

376
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:15,000
Okay, so I know I'm supposed to be here the other committee that I said on his

377
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,540
human resource committee so if you have any questions about that you'd

378
00:28:20,540 --> 00:28:24,980
dress me if you if you want more for a comfortable and then I won't get with

379
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:38,660
Mr. Jordan who I found out because I don't know somebody you don't keep

380
00:28:38,660 --> 00:28:41,480
And threw me off by the name because the name changed.

381
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,660
But I was like, wait a minute.

382
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,100
So yeah, we was in the back of the hall, but I was good.

383
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:47,940
Yeah, very good.

384
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:48,260
I'm off.

385
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:48,440
Yeah.

386
00:28:49,620 --> 00:28:50,780
That's how the subject came out.

387
00:28:50,780 --> 00:28:51,180
Yeah.

388
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:52,640
That's good.

389
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:53,860
That's good.

390
00:28:56,780 --> 00:29:00,140
Again, thank you to those who supported me during the campaign.

391
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,540
I did a lot of door to door for time's sake.

392
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,740
And you guys this time, a lot of the concerns

393
00:29:07,740 --> 00:29:11,820
will be addressed within committee, or maybe it's council

394
00:29:11,820 --> 00:29:15,840
as a whole, I yet, I have to sit down with Madam Mayor

395
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,100
and have our session.

396
00:29:18,940 --> 00:29:21,880
I encourage all of you guys to come out for the budget hearings.

397
00:29:23,020 --> 00:29:26,620
You hold us accountable for where your money is spent.

398
00:29:27,740 --> 00:29:30,820
And we want to make sure that you are aware of what we're doing

399
00:29:30,820 --> 00:29:32,280
when we're doing it and how we're doing it.

400
00:29:32,860 --> 00:29:33,560
You put us here.

401
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,580
We didn't put ourselves here, OK?

402
00:29:35,580 --> 00:29:43,580
So I appreciate that but I do have one guy that is watching and I promised him I asked them to give me a couple of weeks

403
00:29:43,580 --> 00:29:45,580
He said uh-uh. So I

404
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,740
Would like for the city to please look at the possibility of

405
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,120
Street curve

406
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,000
Going in on North Main Street from the address is a 709

407
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,980
723. Okay, that's about six to seven houses. These individuals have went out and bought their own parking bricks and put out there. They got posed and everything. And it really looks tacky on North Main Street. And they asked, could you please. And I know that that has been when I went out closing, they were asking, then where eight years, nine years,

408
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:31,100
and they still haven't got it.

409
00:30:31,980 --> 00:30:34,000
So I'm asking right now publicly,

410
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,040
please make sure there's no data in the minutes

411
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,340
that they're asking for courage between those addresses.

412
00:30:41,260 --> 00:30:41,800
That's it.

413
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:42,700
Thank you again, everybody.

414
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:43,920
Thank you, Mr. President.

415
00:30:44,060 --> 00:30:44,760
Thank you, Councillor Lowe.

416
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:45,760
Councillor Jordan.

417
00:30:46,380 --> 00:30:49,440
I was not going to mention that I knew him way back when,

418
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:50,780
but okay, okay.

419
00:30:51,180 --> 00:30:54,220
I want to be the third to congratulate you, I guess,

420
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,440
on being here.

421
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,400
I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do together.

422
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:06,400
As I listened to our three council people be sworn in, it hit me pretty hard that we've

423
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:12,260
all sworn to uphold the Constitution and this is a time where I think pondering what

424
00:31:12,260 --> 00:31:17,560
that means is really important and I will not get on my soapbox and say more other than

425
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:23,700
just I noted that we all have done that and it's worth considering.

426
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:31,040
On a lighter note, the library is starting their winter reading program and they have prizes

427
00:31:31,860 --> 00:31:35,980
and you can go pick up a reading tracker and possibly win prizes.

428
00:31:36,180 --> 00:31:40,740
I haven't looked to see what the prizes are yet but that's worth checking and there are

429
00:31:40,740 --> 00:31:42,660
a couple of different concerts coming up soon.

430
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,780
The symphony is going to be doing a candlelight concert at Trinity Methodist Church at the very

431
00:31:47,780 --> 00:31:48,480
end of this month.

432
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,680
And so there are, even though we're past the holidays and past all the fun stuff, there

433
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:58,760
are things to do in line. Imagine our surprise. And I'm asking it on that.

434
00:31:59,060 --> 00:32:00,920
Thank you, Stuart, Councillor Jordan, Councillor Jones.

435
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:07,260
Thank you, Mr. President. I don't really have much to say, but I do want to thank everyone

436
00:32:07,260 --> 00:32:13,960
who is in attendance today. It's always nice to look out and see that people are actually

437
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:19,040
involved or being involved and participating with our meetings. So I want to thank everyone

438
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:24,460
who came out today and encouraged you to keep coming to the meetings, not just, you know,

439
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,200
to celebrate, sometimes there's some tough conversations that we're having and we would love

440
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:34,520
to have participation from the community as well. So that's it for me, Mr. President. Thank you.

441
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,040
Thank you, Councillor Jones. Councillor Glent. I'm going to take all your minutes.

442
00:32:38,980 --> 00:32:43,680
I want to welcome all the Councillors. Mr. Love, welcome. You know, you've been here.

443
00:32:44,580 --> 00:32:48,880
You know what to do? You know what to take care of your war with? Let's do it.

444
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,620
Mom, good to see you, Uncle, good to see you too, good to see you all with family,

445
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:56,800
time mother.

446
00:32:56,980 --> 00:32:57,980
Thank you so much.

447
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:58,680
Fallon Long.

448
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,280
You guys are here.

449
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,220
It's really nice to see everybody here.

450
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:05,220
And you say, Mama, I wish my mom was here too.

451
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,240
Yeah, I wish she was here.

452
00:33:07,820 --> 00:33:13,860
But I just got, not much to talk about tonight, but I'm going to bring up by a 44 annual

453
00:33:13,860 --> 00:33:16,800
Well, it happened during my war banquet.

454
00:33:18,020 --> 00:33:21,080
Most people say, 44 years, yes, it's been that long.

455
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,120
I started when I was sophomore in college.

456
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,620
Our president, Dr. Thomas, told all of us,

457
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,020
when we go home for the break, let's do

458
00:33:32,020 --> 00:33:34,220
some special thing for Dr. Martin Luther King.

459
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,600
At that time, it wasn't a holiday.

460
00:33:38,860 --> 00:33:41,020
No word of habit at it.

461
00:33:41,020 --> 00:33:44,900
But you know, Rubin Malley said, come now to the country kitchen.

462
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:52,160
Me, my mother, and my aunt, Larry Watkins, just got out of prison.

463
00:33:54,270 --> 00:33:56,570
Jerry Piss just passed the bar exam.

464
00:33:58,630 --> 00:34:00,450
And we gave that, it was the first one.

465
00:34:01,230 --> 00:34:02,530
That's when we started that.

466
00:34:03,370 --> 00:34:04,870
And this year, it would be really nice.

467
00:34:06,830 --> 00:34:09,450
I guess we're going to be our superintendent.

468
00:34:10,150 --> 00:34:17,870
And it was starting 3 p.m. We got a nice dinner and we're looking to give a lot of people

469
00:34:17,870 --> 00:34:24,670
awards that had done a great job in our community. The next day on the 19, 17 years we've

470
00:34:24,670 --> 00:34:31,630
been doing our march. And that march started with Jackie Robinson and Mike Muhammad in my

471
00:34:31,630 --> 00:34:40,690
little niece just us three walk 17 years ago. We start off and we walk and I don't

472
00:34:40,690 --> 00:34:46,770
care how cold it is, we're gonna walk and you can drive your car that day and start

473
00:34:46,770 --> 00:34:51,690
at 3pm on 19 and don't forget about the breakfast. Mark the King breakfast there.

474
00:34:52,470 --> 00:34:56,950
So there are some of the special things that I'm excited about in the month of

475
00:34:56,950 --> 00:35:03,650
January. Also, we're going to have some meetings on a couple of things in the

476
00:35:03,650 --> 00:35:08,090
ward. We've got a couple things that I'm looking at. I'm valuing the alleys,

477
00:35:08,510 --> 00:35:12,630
valuing the streets that need to be paid. I always get my wish list ready to go

478
00:35:12,630 --> 00:35:18,930
in January. And we're going to start working on some next stuff. You know, a lot of

479
00:35:18,930 --> 00:35:24,770
costs came about. I'm sure Allen Center, and it was very happy about that. You know,

480
00:35:24,770 --> 00:35:27,050
And again, we don't think Philippineia Church,

481
00:35:27,390 --> 00:35:29,390
for where you're so hard making that happen.

482
00:35:31,130 --> 00:35:33,810
And we do need a lot of things in our kids

483
00:35:33,810 --> 00:35:34,910
that do in that area.

484
00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:40,650
Second one, we was, I want to think to snow pile.

485
00:35:41,290 --> 00:35:43,730
It did a great job in the area.

486
00:35:44,250 --> 00:35:46,870
I know some calls I made right through on it.

487
00:35:47,690 --> 00:35:49,270
And I appreciate that so much.

488
00:35:50,090 --> 00:35:53,430
And I don't know the guy named who called me up

489
00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:59,910
And it has to be that any older people need to shovel snow he had a three grand kiss two of his sons

490
00:36:00,510 --> 00:36:02,350
And they went around because it had a lot of

491
00:36:02,350 --> 00:36:05,990
That some of the older people wanted shovel they couldn't get it done

492
00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:10,990
And the renegade program no working a lot of time the kids just no kids out there

493
00:36:10,990 --> 00:36:16,610
They could have made a lot of money. I remember we used to do that you know out there and shovel snow

494
00:36:17,190 --> 00:36:19,010
But we don't see no kids coming out

495
00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:23,110
But they came out and I appreciate everything it did

496
00:36:23,430 --> 00:36:27,870
They're not from Lima, but I want to thank them so much what they did.

497
00:36:29,130 --> 00:36:30,230
Neighbors have their neighbors.

498
00:36:31,170 --> 00:36:34,810
We are still, we are doing projects in the wintertime.

499
00:36:36,290 --> 00:36:39,170
I know we'll be taking care of two screen doors,

500
00:36:39,990 --> 00:36:41,390
and we're going to take care of RAM.

501
00:36:42,410 --> 00:36:44,210
And the RAM is going to be taking care right away.

502
00:36:44,630 --> 00:36:47,110
We appreciate the team, the system with that.

503
00:36:47,550 --> 00:36:50,890
They're going to be coming out, so volunteer is going to help out with that

504
00:36:50,890 --> 00:36:55,170
right away. They don't want their name out there. We appreciate they're going to be doing that.

505
00:36:55,510 --> 00:37:00,050
Because the young lady, she could not come out of her house. They don't have a fire department.

506
00:37:00,370 --> 00:37:04,770
They're coming to get out. So we're going to start working on that this weekend.

507
00:37:05,290 --> 00:37:08,950
Making that happen. And I want to thank everyone for coming out tonight.

508
00:37:09,370 --> 00:37:16,170
It looks so good. Like TJ said, come out. Listen. Like Mr. Lo say, it's very important.

509
00:37:16,910 --> 00:37:19,030
If we have a seat, so there's a financial budget.

510
00:37:19,650 --> 00:37:21,830
Come out so you can know what's going on in our community.

511
00:37:22,350 --> 00:37:23,770
There's a lot of good things going on.

512
00:37:24,410 --> 00:37:25,970
Let's keep it going, let's keep it positive.

513
00:37:26,690 --> 00:37:28,030
And I wish everyone a happy new year.

514
00:37:28,190 --> 00:37:28,870
God bless you.

515
00:37:29,410 --> 00:37:30,130
Thank you, Mr. President.

516
00:37:30,310 --> 00:37:31,130
Thank you, Councilor Glenn.

517
00:37:32,770 --> 00:37:34,190
Today, everyone, that's here in the chambers

518
00:37:34,190 --> 00:37:35,610
and those that may be watching at home.

519
00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:36,730
For those that are here in the chamber,

520
00:37:36,770 --> 00:37:38,810
I simply want to say thank you for coming in this evening.

521
00:37:40,130 --> 00:37:41,890
I look around the room and I heard

522
00:37:41,890 --> 00:37:44,930
Councilor Gordon and Councilor Low

523
00:37:44,930 --> 00:37:49,570
speak about their mothers and to see two of them in the front row, it's a blessing.

524
00:37:50,570 --> 00:37:53,610
But not just on the front row, we got one in the back row, which is my mother.

525
00:37:54,430 --> 00:37:59,830
And so, mother Goren, you watch every day from the comfort of your home every Monday

526
00:37:59,830 --> 00:38:03,710
and my mother is here in the chambers, no matter if she just worked a 12-hour shift or not.

527
00:38:04,490 --> 00:38:09,090
Yeah, so we have mothers that are watching us, but however, even in the absence of

528
00:38:09,090 --> 00:38:13,830
these three mothers that are here in the chambers, we have mothers that still come

529
00:38:13,830 --> 00:38:22,390
And they may not be our mothers biologically, but they have been a mother figure in our lives through history and through community.

530
00:38:22,970 --> 00:38:39,710
And so we have Ms. Redmond, Ms. Newsom, and some others that are here in the chambers that we simply say thank you, too, because you guys have paid the way so that our mothers can make sure that we're doing the right things, because you were right there and you were that sense of community and neighbor when they were not the eyes to see what's going on.

531
00:38:39,710 --> 00:38:43,710
So, Councillor Lowe might not have acted up in school because he knew that you were coming.

532
00:38:44,430 --> 00:38:49,930
Right? But when he was out on the streets he knew it was the mothers of others that held us accountable as kids.

533
00:38:50,210 --> 00:38:54,070
And so we simply say thank you to not just my mother and not to the mothers that are here.

534
00:38:54,570 --> 00:38:59,610
We say thank you to all the mothers that are in this room but also watching at home as well.

535
00:39:00,010 --> 00:39:02,050
So thank you. And happy new year. Councillor Gordon.

536
00:39:02,650 --> 00:39:09,470
Mr. President, I move that Lyme City Council adjourned until January 26th at 7 p.m. in these chambers.

537
00:39:09,470 --> 00:39:19,070
Second. The motion of the second to adjourn until January 26th in the Chambers at 7pm. Is there any discussion on that motion?

538
00:39:19,850 --> 00:39:26,950
All those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. All those opposed motion passes. We are adjourned. Thank you
