2:33•Diane Landry

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

3:06•Diane Landry

Yes. Dr. Leopold? Yes. Dr. Landry? Yes. Second, sir. Yes.

6:53•Diane Landry

John, who will just come before the council?

6:58•Diane Landry

The grants, in case we see any. When we get the grant agreement together.

7:30 – 7:49•Diane Landry

She called me and said, what's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name? What's your name?

14:33•Diane Landry

You have any idea how to keep the odor control?

18:50 – 20:07•Diane Landry

I mean, I had cancer. One reason, the air condition was out. The air condition was out. But I was both cramped in this situation. I mentioned last time, I'm sorry, because they feel that I can't speak. No. I can't say anything. I can't speak. I think it's important that we begin to say something. What does it get? 85% banking. And I also want to suggest that we allow them to rent for a million or two weeks. That's the least we can do.

20:41 – 21:11•Diane Landry

I think you meant to say you know those days to be flexible boards what happens if someone will surrender you then we'll push our days to the side of the road you know you say time if you're on the time to home yeah the place to go home yes you'll need to

21:38•Diane Landry

And they'll feed their kids. And each meeting?

24:52•Diane Landry

I'm sorry. So that would be one of the conversations. Disconnect.

34:15•Diane Landry

Trying to get another guy out there with $6,000 for the quote.

40:52•Diane Landry

Thank you. from any of the business owners.

46:50 – 47:05•Diane Landry

Thank you. We need to go into the care for those in attendance who may not be aware of what this point is. Is anybody there?

50:24 – 50:35•Diane Landry

Yes, ma'am. Many years ago, this would have been on the right. That's changed. Yes, ma'am. I'm aware of that.

1:01:25•Diane Landry

I think there's a group of people that have opened from the outside. On the side floor.

1:06:53•Diane Landry

No, we're not going to stop patrol. We'll keep that up.

1:09:02 – 1:09:29•Diane Landry

I think we need to add something to that, Jamie. ATVs. When we don't get enough Well, let me take that back. Some people who are riding ATVs tell us that the police tells them it's okay to ride ATVs.

1:09:40 – 1:10:19•Diane Landry

Is that we need you all to, when someone calls you, We don't. We don't. If you all will respond a little bit better, then maybe we can make this a safer community. Because sometimes these children have three little children on these ATVs. I don't want anything to happen on my watch. And I know you don't want it on yours. I'm just wondering what we can do about that situation.

1:19:30•Diane Landry

He was the driving force behind that 2024 statute. And that statute also

1:24:02 – 1:25:00•Diane Landry

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. 20%. I really want 20% to 12%. That's what I'm saying. I'm back to the same prayer thing. How many will crop the woods? I always did. I'm seeing a verdict.

1:27:09•Diane Landry

It's not everybody's going to just sustain the money, but.

1:28:22•Diane Landry

Second. Councilor Brown. Yes. Councilor Renanson. Yes. Councilor Woodcock. Yes. Councilor Landry. Yes. Senator Ketcher.

1:29:26 – 1:29:53•Diane Landry

If we didn't need it as badly a couple of weeks ago, why now do we add more and not consider reducing The rates that we're charging to all consumers.

1:30:00 – 1:30:38•Diane Landry

Stay with it. But we need to consider our consumers sometimes. Everybody's had our part. It's time for us to say, well, we don't need to be staffing. Let us think about the people who's If there's no working for it, if it was not for them, we wouldn't. I want to be able to provide it. We need to consider it. If you didn't add this stuff to the bill, you could reduce the rates that we charge now.

1:30:44•Diane Landry

The best thing you can do is go back and get a fee.

1:31:32 – 1:31:44•Diane Landry

I think we're clear where Tom Derrickson is here. I think they're closing that down because we might not have four days. But

1:32:06 – 1:33:23•Diane Landry

What I don't understand is that we need to sometimes think about our constituents We don't always have to give a 3% raise. Some people begin $3,000 raises. Some close to $3,000. That's a lot. And we can use that to help the people in our community. They need a raise. I don't know if you get any calls or not, but I do. And frankly, I think I'm charged too much because I don't use anything. What is it right now? About $70 before you use anything. And it's going up. According to my bill, I'm paying over $70 before you even use a liquor store. I guess what you consider these things is written out

1:33:34 – 1:34:09•Diane Landry

Sometimes. Sometimes. We cannot add something else and add that to it. utility then we just fall back behind further i don't worry what we told you you're going back to this this this organization who came to us and they told us suggested that we do this you know majority of the city were current

1:37:54 – 1:38:37•Diane Landry

Yeah. It's the only thing I'm asking. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. You all make a good sacrifice. So it's not hurting you all. Maybe. Maybe not. But these people have a hard time. I mean, a very hard time. Everybody's going up on rates. They don't care. They miss their people. So can the county let us know as a whole what they want us to do?

1:38:52 – 1:39:08•Diane Landry

What I'm saying is that we have more options than what is listed. And we used to get a whole list of options that we could use. Now we just give them what we want.

1:39:18 – 1:39:38•Diane Landry

Yeah, that's right. Well, wait a minute now. You can just say we've got options. This is due next, on the 27th. Well, what do you think at the next meeting? I can't give you the feedback, but I can tell that's the situation.

1:41:32•Diane Landry

Councilor Hanson? Yes. Councilor Lippoff?

1:42:07•Diane Landry

We'll get a thesis in the next week. Yeah.

1:42:57•Diane Landry

I do, but I hate to talk about somebody that's not here.

1:57:17•Diane Landry

I think we're going to have a mixed meeting.

1:58:10 – 1:58:21•Diane Landry

I'm sorry, ma'am? I'm sorry, ma'am. That's my appreciation. Thank you.

1:58:47•Diane Landry

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

2:05:50 – 2:06:15•Diane Landry

I know the charter is same in office. This is my fourth term, my first three terms. He was in office. And I could never understand why I was champion.

2:07:11 – 2:08:16•Diane Landry

I couldn't be wrong, but I think it was changed due to them just swearing. Swearing to hit everyone at the same time. That's the reason I think it was changed. They can't be the same forever. And we included the city. I don't know whether we included the city. They used to come to the council meeting to swear St. John in August. The judge would come here and personally swear St. John for my first three terms. And it changed. Thank you. Thank you for that clarification. Thank you. So they have to this, have to give these to them, or they're in sin.

2:08:49 – 2:09:37•Diane Landry

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, ma'am. Tritum. Tritum, yes. And they see it. They are inconvenience stores. And they can just walk in. Yeah. And it's killing people. We're working on that. You got it going? Yes. Thank you so much. One other thing. NPAs, not this much. Anyone in this council who learned that now can

2:09:44•Diane Landry

I don't think we should do it. I think we should be aware of where we're settling. And that would be the best.

2:10:09•Diane Landry

When we did it one year, it wasn't safe. I didn't know what I was doing.

2:12:02•Diane Landry

In the visitation on the 1 1⁄2, where are we at?
