[0:27] leave for a great late read that ceremony of remembrance at the
[0:33] cenotaphia and at the Veterans Park on behalf of account
[0:37] yeah you know I just want to thank the Legion for actually putting out such an
[0:43] event there's a fine gravity this year or it
[0:47] starts to get back to a little bit to the normal rather back then back
[0:50] probably 2019 before Coleman uh with the fine crowd the weather was great and
[0:56] certainly uh certainly nice to see and I certainly want to say thank you to the
[1:00] Wayne lawyer Cherry Pocket campaign and the legions were actually taking that on
[1:05] and make sure that's carried that we are certainly uh it was a nice advantage of

[1:30] dicks there are also many significant dilapidating injuries to reduce the risk
[1:36] of Motor Vehicle collisions follow the posted speed limits and just driving to
[1:41] road conditions do not consume drugs or alcohol driving

[2:36] somehow by Council was the second by cancer power any air formations on that

[3:21] census needs questions or comments
[3:25] uh Mr Mayra Elizabeth [Music]
[3:28] November 13th but I have two kind of snake uh I've
[3:34] been uh contacted by several residences Sunday wondering as to why this meeting
[3:39] on November 13th a special childhood meeting wasn't there live stream
[3:45] now I know what I was told here in the media I'm just wondering if we could let
[3:49] the residence know as to why we didn't live stream this uh
[3:56] normally what we've done the best we've always televised our monthly public
[3:59] meetings and there are some cases that we have not in the past done special
[4:04] meetings uh you know with one agenda later on that nothing that has been out
[4:09] of the way or nothing that has not done before and so that that was the reason
[4:13] why
[4:17] so Mr Mayor I was Co-op here in the museum and saw me there
[4:22] we we're not actually obligated to large premium or public natives is that the
[4:27] case there is underneath the ACT uh maybe the
[4:31] CEO can talk about Municipal act compares to uh live streaming so we
[4:36] we're not obligated on react to live stream our meetings we do it you know to
[4:41] try to get the message out to Residents uh we do every monthly meeting just like
[4:45] there this evening that exit in the protocol
[4:54] anything else uh the second item that I had from that meeting was Mr Mayor and I
[4:58] I uh I expressed my concern over this on Sunday and I just wanted to do it to
[5:03] move for the public record is that I strongly disagree with counselors
[5:09] participated in the day-to-day operations of the town I don't think
[5:13] it's correct I don't think it's a proper procedure and it's going to get us into
[5:17] a situation one of these days with counselors and staff that is going to be
[5:21] a message for us I hope on a strong Advocate that it's it's not
[5:26] the right way that we should be doing business every time potential so I just
[5:30] wanted to make an all the best so you know
[5:34] that agenda it was debated there on the meeting that was outlined in November
[5:39] 13th uh we did have a debate and we did move motion and it moved forward
[5:46] [Music] thank you anything else from November
[5:52] 13th all those in favor
[5:55] motion character any business arise until the minutes
[6:04] I'm a little bit curious as to why uh we would look at changing the structural
[6:10] activities now I do know uh there is a few that counts without and and Council
[6:15] uh myself being warned and I'm I'm finding that after the first 15 or 16
[6:21] months and all the honest with everyone but I didn't really seem to take that
[6:25] time to get self-activated to uh Council but I'm just wondering like and this is
[6:31] from my own personal View uh if we change our communities now is
[6:36] there going to be another learning curve for us new councils that's my concern
[6:40] with changing I will say I know for me on Council
[6:45] everything is definitely a learning curve and I guess the first two years
[6:48] there are not easy it's difficult but for me the point of committee is I will
[6:53] take direction from Council and Council feels the Committees are fine and that's
[6:58] the promotion that's that's the worship Council and continue on for another year
[7:01] or come to wishes to mix it up so you know I'll take direction from Council
[7:06] I'll take suggestions from Council on how we move forward with committees uh
[7:11] so with regards to that so you know we'll have a meeting and we'll have a
[7:15] discussion you know not in the public forum but amongst ourselves on how we
[7:19] move forward with committees and maybe we do leave for another nine months but
[7:22] that will be for Parental to say and we'll go from there that's that's how I
[7:26] feel another question for them good
[7:32] Aaron nothing will move into new business next one I guess the board of
[7:36] our adventure update we haven't had a meeting with the court of our dementia
[7:38] and we'll see you probably in the last two months we do have one and I've made
[7:42] it on the 30th of November so I guess at that point uh we'll be able to uh bring
[7:47] something back and see what time to go from there just let everybody know
[7:52] s executive committee report the executive committee remit on November
[7:58] 9th in the War Room uh there was myself the deputy and Jamie Lee
[8:05] the first person was uh Mr Gallagher and the executive assistant
[8:13] uh the coming out of that we had we got two
[8:18] recommendations so our recommendation is that Council
[8:22] approved the CEO to modify the existing terms of people or agreement to include
[8:28] amended dates and timelines to move forward to development blue blood
[8:34] counselor lives the second black counselor Copper any questions or
[8:39] comments on that I will say that this is just a given any
[8:43] way to go do it the actual agreement itself will come back you'll see what it
[8:47] is and still got to go before conscious of both
[8:50] all those in favor motion care
[8:54] that comes to approve the CIO to negotiate the parking lot and the garden
[8:58] in the Town Square owned by the Episcopal Corporation with the
[9:02] parameters indicated by Council moved by councilwinning second to buy concert Mr
[9:07] Mayor I'm going to oh uh thank you Stephanie is going to declare a conflict
[9:13] please notice thank you so we look like Council Williams second
[9:18] by comes to sleep any questions or comments
[9:22] all those in favor motion okay
[9:26] there was another one here a request for uh increase to the death that was right
[9:33] now that we didn't receive right now because
[9:36] the agreement was actually just signed an extension so we want to see where a
[9:40] few braces are actually going uh it'll go up it could go down so right now
[9:45] we're just going to hold a line as we work those as well
[9:49] foreign
[10:21] collection contract to help alleviate the additional fuel Chargers
[10:28] so actually basically what I'm saying comes to reject requests from facial
[10:31] rhythmics or an increase of 800. in addition to reality well they already
[10:38] had Courthouse that we already agreed to so we're not going to use or a rejected
[10:43] request of eight hundred dollars blue blood
[10:47] Council Williams second to buy Council Wilson all those in favor
[10:56] anything else anybody have any questions or anything else
[11:01] committee
[11:06] okay the finance committee that on November the 8th and in attendance for
[11:11] councilor Jennifer power if any mayor winning power uh uh police terrorist
[11:16] chair Jonathan Duncan ercao and Catherine Smith
[11:21] and the following uh recommendations the council approved payment of invoice from
[11:27] rebuilt homes and Motors Limited in the amount of
[11:32] 5648.66 to rebuild the pump at Martin Smith Station
[11:38] the boy the deputy mayor
[11:44] all over any questions or comments where Mr Miller I hope one question uh I do
[11:49] know we just rebuilt the pump down through our glasses and one here and
[11:53] correctly that there's another pump boat down there now
[11:58] share if you you have any I don't know uh for any idea there is another one
[12:03] they are trying to identify is it the pump that was actually in the station
[12:07] that was continuously working for the new pump that's in there uh it was the
[12:12] new pump that's in there is still under a 30-day warranty that they would
[12:15] actually be able to get an exploration
[12:20] I know I know there was a pump that had been repaired some time ago uh that the
[12:26] work wasn't up to power and therefore requires additional attention uh
[12:31] standing to be pregnant on which one it is but it is being reviewed by staff but
[12:36] can I just ask a question that we built on some older women
[12:40] is there any particular reason why we moved to them because I do believe we
[12:44] were with a group in town overnight I think you go back and forth to get cold
[12:48] from both so debt and I believe it used to be called floating I sort of names
[12:54] yeah so I know they do go back and forth to be focused
[13:00] but what you're saying is if we're getting closer one of the kind of
[13:04] businesses that are not giving up to a lot of these and we're not going to
[13:07] follow it and you know we may be out there removing to to follow me over

[25:50] thank you the study took place uh last Friday from there were two Engineers
[25:57] that were really want to take a review report is not yet been submitted on next
[26:01] days
[26:04] he's going to stormwater collection I mean I've got I've got emails uh this
[26:09] week both July after the rainfall still voicing the concerns that this has taken
[26:15] so long
[26:19] to actually ask to take the emails or emails and pictures or among the
[26:25] transportation works that you know we are concerned that this project has
[26:29] taken two months [Music]
[26:37] [Music]
[26:46] [Music]
[26:53] [Music] I'm just wondering when it comes to a
[27:02] conflict is that the decision of counsel to determine whether or not a conflict
[27:07] exist or not I guess the question will be if there
[27:11] was a gray area if somebody want to really complain forward if you bought a
[27:15] complaint forward with regards to the conflict or any countries in conflict
[27:20] that we buy forward to the council and I guess Dean Council would have to make a
[27:24] decision and from there then we would handle it appropriately that Council
[27:28] will actually move the complaint by forward that someone's in conflict with
[27:31] his regards to it's like anything they would have a chance to within reaction
[27:37] just like anything else will go through a process
[27:40] I recommend it too uh Mr Mayor the more concerning issue
[27:48] for me that this Culvert a job up in uh on the Little Road London was the fact
[27:53] that the involvement of the council with the
[27:57] in-house Council for around to me that's a major issue for a town its major issue
[28:01] for me because I do know as a counselor our role as counters is to
[28:08] provide policy and guidelines through the town
[28:11] to the employees for endocario and our role is not to participate in the
[28:16] day-to-day operations as well you know
[28:21] I don't want to seem like on Beat the dead horse when I'm talking about this
[28:25] but I really do feel that as counselors our sole role as a
[28:31] counselor we were elected to provide policy for the town not to participate
[28:37] in the day-to-day operations itself that was my main concern with this uh with
[28:42] this issue well this the when you debated this issue uh during all that
[28:48] this was debated and the motion was about foreign
[29:03] ER it's it's the uh
[29:08] when we when we talked with this issue once only
[29:12] when I left this meeting I was of the opinion when I left here that this
[29:16] Council has no issues with counselors participating in the day-to-day
[29:21] operations of council I'm having a lot of trouble accepting that
[29:38] operations I suggest that they go to talk to the CEO and bring the issues
[29:43] forward
[29:47] I just want to make one more point or Mr Mayor and then I'm going to uh hormone
[29:52] report in the counselor I have a conversation 2.2 responsibilities of the
[29:58] Michigan Council this will counselors are responsible to provide balanced
[30:02] issues and making sound financial overseas section 20.5 students
[30:06] relationship of council to Spanish if the roles of counselors staff are not
[30:10] fairly understood there is potential for conflict between elected officials and
[30:15] Municipal staff that's not a rule you need program and then there's a
[30:19] distinction between policy and administration
[30:21] policy is deflective decision account for makes the subject over a period of
[30:26] time Council spend most of your time establishing policy leaving the
[30:30] administration to staff Administration is putting Council policy into practice
[30:34] once policy is established staff act prevent Florida residents to account
[30:39] I just don't understand why we as a council cannot follow those guidelines
[30:44] Services if there's any issues or concerns certainly CAO and the staff who
[30:51] laid out in to bring foreign
[30:56] anything else this is
[31:00] Mr Mayor just two points to issues raised in the report uh number one being
[31:06] the flooding of freshwater Crescent uh they're near a fire hall that occurred
[31:10] again on Sunday Past after the rainfall and the middle of the morning 11 30 or
[31:15] so there was still a lot of water built up so there were additional pictures
[31:18] taken and forwarded to the mha and she continues to look to the department to
[31:25] determine that or to try and convince them that mother nature is not the cause
[31:28] of problems there and it's their infrastructure so we need to continue to
[31:32] build that debt and encourage residents to do the same when the water builds up
[31:36] there to let them know that there is an issue there and the just the point of
[31:40] clarity I think kind of helps hold hazardous waste it was the eastern
[31:44] regional service board that eliminated that not the mmsb
[31:50] thank you deputy mayor anything else man with the public work
[31:55] there are none the movement
[31:59] this is the recreation committee made on November 7th

[32:09] and myself Staffing attendance difference is the
[32:13] director of Public Works Miss Debbie here a special corporate coordinator
[32:19] uh
[32:22] one recommendation
[32:27] media is recommending that Council approve the purchase of a playground
[32:32] equipment number
[32:35] 704-5063 uh in the amount of approximately sixty
[32:40] sixty thousand dollars and uh for the playground at 37.

[36:15] myself as chair Council of power and councilor Smith uh the manager towards
[36:19] American Communications the economic development officer of the CAO and the
[36:24] executive assistant as a reporter we have no recommendations to report for a
[36:28] meeting to give you some highlights of the discussion uh our sense of arrival
[36:33] uh the uh Town staff which chamber of commerce staff have met with the proper
[36:39] tourism now to try and get the sense of rival initiative back on track and the
[36:44] meetings have been productive thus far we continue to work with funding
[36:49] agencies including a co-op to move forward Our Town Square project and that
[36:54] the highlight of that is the installation group stage in the in the
[36:58] Town Square a small business week was held back in
[37:04] October and we had a successful event at the Arts Center focusing on the funding
[37:10] supports that are available for small businesses and our Economic Development
[37:13] officer facilitated that we're exploring uh the idea of resurrecting an
[37:19] application from a number of years ago with regards to Heritage District status
[37:24] for Town and we're engaging some research on that right now
[37:29] our business incentive Awards as you saw in the finance committee report earlier
[37:34] there were several businesses that applied for the incentive uh the tax
[37:39] break for this year and we're glad to see that and we continue to work on
[37:43] ideas to develop that program the present to be industrial showcase by
[37:48] our accounts was a a great success this year the theme was waves of change and
[37:54] uh but all feedback that's been received I'll spare it it was a great event and
[38:00] lots of benefit to uh the delegates in information sharing and I think the
[38:06] economic impact in the community was well received as well
[38:09] we had some discussion on housing issues and uh
[38:16] the concerns that exist with affordable housing and its availability in the
[38:21] community right now and we've asked the economic development officer to work
[38:26] with the Community Connection Housing Coalition to get us some data that we
[38:32] can use to further uh Lobby government agencies to help us address that issue
[38:39] our Economic Development officer is also planning a holiday passport program she
[38:44] freaks out to businesses looking for participants to help with that and the
[38:49] general idea is if you spend money locally in the month of December you get
[38:54] a ballot to enter to Enterprise so that's still in development I know
[38:59] contact has been made with local businesses to engage in that and to be
[39:03] more information on that forthcoming uh we're going to look at the idea of
[39:08] putting together a proper welcome kit we've had some feedback over the last
[39:11] little while that new residents to come to the area uh you know they're looking
[39:15] for an information package so we're going to work together to put all of our
[39:20] information that we have maybe available in different uh venues right now put it
[39:26] all together in one package so we hope to further explore that once ahead and
[39:31] also look at the communities in bloom program uh that the municipalities
[39:36] convention this year we saw great success in an example from town of
[39:40] Roberts and looking at the things that we are already doing uh in our community
[39:45] we can probably look at participating in that program and get some recognition
[39:50] and also look for ways and things that we can do to improve our programming as
[39:55] well and that is it sir thank you
[39:59] anything anything for thank you mayor please Community report

[41:09] my business chair councilor Jamie Lee Fitzpatrick councilman Wilson as our
[41:16] resource person was director of Public Works and our recorder was David here
[41:22] uh there was some new business uh we had a few promo applications we had a an
[41:27] accessory prompted to stop the personal shared up in Bongo we had a general
[41:31] repairs uh permit application for a land explanation in dongle and we also had a
[41:36] demolition and removal of the building and uh to my knowledge that the
[41:41] dilapidated property was just coming down was uh
[41:45] the uh the homeowners themselves so it's good to see homeowners taking that
[41:51] taking their responsibility for our properties when they're in Need for care
[41:54] there was a fancy repair on Legion Street and there was an approval in
[41:58] principal renovation to a multi-purpose room
[42:02] the water main role and I'm assuming there's 4 Motors
[42:08] there was an update on the pharmacies last one of the reported that support of
[42:12] our adventure applied for performance to construct the role to the runway the
[42:16] cost of approximately three Amendment resulting in the property of roughly
[42:20] around sixty thousand dollars this fee has since been reduced to 30 000 based
[42:24] on the submission of the tenderbit in the amount of 1.5 million
[42:32] [Music] operate the issue of portrait operates
[42:36] as complicated in the past the committee is requesting their staff submit an
[42:40] application for gas tax he has formed any place you can see with this project
[42:44] this will be and has been referred to the CL
[42:48] there's a there was a report coming out on gas tax today which we all received
[42:53] uh we also received the copies of the radar steps for the past month I believe
[42:59] it was with the traffic back and forth through Baltimore and there is probably
[43:03] the traffic in the united didn't get through that much but there is
[43:07] that was it for the report
[43:17] thank you yeah you know I'd like to make a few
[43:21] comments about the uh the report uh for the record back on October 18th at our
[43:28] last public meeting we had a discussion on the fourth service updates and uh
[43:33] it's already the discussion that Council of power had had made note that she had
[43:39] submitted the apartment for the uh for the uh Breakwater France
[43:44] but the Farmers Market
[43:56] what's going on the storage with front so as your apartment submitted uh
[44:03] I haven't seen no promising it so I haven't seen the department either but I
[44:08] do know Council of power had noticed in the meeting that she had applied for a
[44:12] permit for a farmer's market I'm just wondering it's a month later and as a
[44:16] community you never see this permit I'm just curious what happened to him I
[44:20] have no knowledge of the permit it hasn't come to your committee
[44:27] uh so I guess what we'll do is if there's any permits I guess we'll have
[44:31] to come to the front desk or come true our our Public Works superintendent as
[44:37] normal affirmative process when permits are submitted Museum submitted it goes
[44:41] to the staff staff reviews departments if it's in compliance they will move
[44:46] ahead with issue deferment if it's any discretionary use it goes to committee
[44:51] come on Alex and all our apartments are put on the site any departments that are
[44:55] actually approved and actually go on our town site for all our residences
[44:59] [Music] if there's a permit for town properties
[45:03] no one has the ability to perform a town property oh I didn't say it was a
[45:08] permanent profound property what I said was counselor power in the last public
[45:14] meeting stated that she had put in a permit for the farmer's market I don't
[45:19] know where department store was for I'm just Warner as a counselor I'm planning
[45:24] and developing to deal with permits why did that permit not come to our
[45:28] committee it's been a month would have to confirm if requirement was
[45:31] submitted we'll check well I mean I
[45:36] Council power said it in the public meeting that's for many confirmation
[45:40] unless it was a permanent fighter who would if the department is submitted to
[45:45] the committee who always receives information as early as permits perfect
[45:49] I've never seen a permit no I just want to bring it up for the record because
[45:52] that program was supposedly applied from we haven't seen it and I also have
[45:55] concern of another permit that was applied for her
[45:59] at our committee meeting on November 7th we were informed that there was a
[46:04] permanent applied for by the saint ansavale in donville to put a few
[46:09] partition models in the charts for offices we see it from it it was about
[46:15] any of the soldiers uh my concern with department is that
[46:19] shortly after the department was dropped off here at the town there was a stock
[46:23] worker order being issued on a permit that hasn't even come to our committee
[46:27] how is there a stock work order being issued out of permit that has not come
[46:31] to commit it I never issued a stock market stock report or on anything
[46:37] related that does miscommunication is a related issue it was miscommunication I
[46:43] was actually here when the department was dropped off there is no uh stock
[46:47] report or that I signed for that property
[46:50] broke down and she knows that work order at all
[46:59] anything else I have a question Fort Frederick do we have that plan and
[47:05] when was that created there is a plan or Frederick

[49:30] facility on Fox Harbor Road and recycling clothes in the diabetes bin by
[49:35] the Placentia Mall are just some examples that people can
[49:38] do to keep the waste out of landfill and that's all we have for that's all I
[49:45] had to any other questions or comments
[49:49] regarding in our communities
[49:58] with regards to moving on to other business
[50:05] ES
[50:09] I'd just like to thank uh sorry I'd just like to congratulate Brooke Lannon on
[50:14] her ball hockey award and also Liam and and Jordan on their cell followers from
[50:20] the premier
[50:23] e I've been Communicator just seven directly at all three
[50:27] all three of us let's say I've ended on the channel in the ER these celebrations
[50:31] that are now and once said congratulations to uh some school and
[50:36] staff and teachers and his students has a very respectful it wasn't the fact
[50:47] that Mr Mayor I would like to make a few
[50:51] comments uh one of our comments is actually a question I'm curious as to
[50:57] why the normal retirement needs or no line or attendant holy communities is
[51:01] there any reason where the character has an opportunity of public meetings
[51:06] that is there and probably in the past with absolutely no reason uh Department
[51:11] against cancer so we should have Department the managers there that could
[51:15] answer questions I don't think there'll be an issue with that
[51:18] that you know that we haven't had department managers meet in the
[51:22] community meetings out for I'm not sure how long but it's been it's been I know
[51:27] in the last time so I don't think you had them all hurt or Alpine so I mean
[51:31] it's just so wishes to have people there and they need to get uh there's an
[51:35] answer not the questions I can answer by all means we can certainly have that
[51:39] that's not about no it's not a it's not to me it's not the issue the question
[51:44] being answered CAO answers all questions to investors ability but in the event
[51:49] that the CEO has to step out there is no one here to uh there is no one else
[51:54] after a CAO so I'll just I'll just bring that up for a note uh Mr Mayor I just
[52:00] want to get back into the uh I just want to talk very briefly about the live
[52:04] streaming so I did that like I said I did have some conversation with you
[52:08] residents the weekend put concern over the live streaming I do believe that
[52:13] live streaming of our public teams is one of the best things this town has
[52:17] gone in the last eight or 10 year so it was not doing it that far but it's one
[52:22] of the best things they've owned we do have a lot of residents out there that
[52:26] for reasons out of their control they cannot get out to the public meetings
[52:32] so you know I know what I've been told that it's it's not something that we
[52:39] have to do but I just want to bring uh attention to Emulsion that was made back
[52:43] in 2018. motion number 18-062 made by councilor columns per hour and
[52:50] and move he resolved in a motion to pursue
[52:55] YouTube law for broadcasting public meetings is about prepared by mayor
[52:59] power and unanimous there was an old name to that motion the committee is
[53:05] finding a mock station to test sound equipment and production of the meeting
[53:08] and it was a second Emulsion made that night a website upgrades most of the
[53:13] motion to approved 5660r plus HST for website operators which referred to
[53:19] finance credit and the reason I mentioned that mostly is because since
[53:22] Sunday I'm being told as was everyone else here that we do not
[53:28] need to live stream our public meetings I I just you know
[53:34] for the sake of transparency this is one of the best things towns well done my
[53:38] question is and I've got it I've been asking some Sonic why did we not live
[53:42] stream our meeting Ensemble we have we live stream our public meetings we have
[53:47] unless they're ahead and technical issues we have we've done them all no
[53:52] different than the last Council there was there were special meetings in
[53:55] Council that happened uh that we're not we're not uh publicized there were one
[54:00] item agendas that came in and Council came in and approved the oil and moved
[54:06] on and moved on to the public that will happen in the last Council and if you
[54:10] like I want to be able to give examples if that's what you want but when that
[54:14] happens all our public meetings that have been broadcasted since this Council
[54:19] started we have done it no different than this evening uh now the deputy
[54:23] mayor joined in the air law agreement and we'll upload it for the presidency
[54:27] once it's done uh I don't know any incidents uh other than that they're
[54:32] saying that the public meeting our public meetings have been broadcasted
[54:36] except for the special colleges [Music]
[54:41] and in Sunday special meeting that has happened in the past and other councils
[54:46] and if anybody wishes to contact me I can certainly give them a date and time
[54:50] of examples when that happens prior to this Council Mr Mayor I was told here at
[54:56] the meeting on Sunday due to the fact that there was residents in the gallery
[55:00] we do not need to launch any public meetings I'm July 19th at the public
[55:05] meeting we have residents in the gallery and the public meeting was live streamed
[55:09] for the residents I just find it very odd that this particular meeting a few
[55:14] days ago was not water stream under underreact under react you give 48 hours
[55:20] in order to your presence that a special meeting can be called that was put out
[55:25] residents were notified the gallery was open anybody could have hurricane
[55:30] Jeannette and that's what we carried out we followed the act as it's laid out in
[55:35] the terms of this will handle you can check it I'm sure you're after checking
[55:38] it for orderings but that's what it is Stephanie Mayer just on the comment
[55:45] there about being told that because there was people in the gallery we
[55:49] didn't have to live stream the meeting I think I may be the one that provide a
[55:54] commentary on that Sunday morning and the commentary I provided was that
[55:59] because the public Gallery was open that satisfied the requirement that the
[56:04] meeting was public so I didn't provide commentary that it provided that we
[56:10] didn't need livestream but the fact the gallery was open provided that it was a
[56:15] public meeting the other side of this is you know it's past tense right now and
[56:19] earlier tonight we adopted the minutes of Sunday's meeting so they will be
[56:24] readily available tomorrow after Wicked if anyone's interested in learning what
[56:29] happened at that meeting on something I mean the military matter of public
[56:33] record no so the fact that it wasn't or was this live stream should be a new
[56:38] issue but you know going forward we should strive to maintain that uh peace
[56:45] for the community and live stream the meetings but you know the military
[56:49] matter record now under available for viewing uh when the office opens
[56:53] tomorrow just like to make one more comment to
[56:56] the topic of live streaming I would suggest that the town update our website
[57:01] and our monthly newsletter stating that we will live stream only when there's
[57:07] Loan in the gallery because that's what it looks like to meet her little live
[57:10] stream where there's people in the gallery just like there's people in the
[57:13] gallery group or live streaming here tonight no matter if there's anyone or
[57:16] no one in gallery we have a live stream perfect I'm glad to hear it but can you
[57:20] water your mushrooms on it I mean it's a simple question it was a special media
[57:25] Council item as I stated and in the past as other councils before us have had not
[57:33] experienced a special live meeting is when it was doll I can give examples
[57:37] okay in the last if anybody wants to reach out to me and have explanations I
[57:41] can give examples for emotions for pass on especially Independence books for one
[57:45] item that has not been live streamed any other businesses
[57:52] they're not going to make a motion to adjourn and we'll live by Jennifer
[57:56] Wilson
