0:49•Diane Landry

Most heavenly and gracious Father, we bow our heels right now.

2:10•Diane Landry

Yes, I get it. Thank you. Yeah. All right. I think so. Yeah.

10:02 – 10:43•Diane Landry

Thank you so much. Thank y'all. Well, anything that is not on the camera

19:43•Diane Landry

Are we heading to where it becomes a front view?

29:56•Diane Landry

I didn't want to ask to see any statistics. What did you say?

34:13 – 34:27•Diane Landry

in the future. And in case another business in that area. Exactly.

38:48 – 38:59•Diane Landry

This is good news. Well, you know, the fine good news.

49:45•Diane Landry

Thank you. Yeah, let's see. So there's somebody here for these.

1:08:09 – 1:09:02•Diane Landry

It wasn't because we didn't have funds. It was because an organization came before us for funds, and that was Jerkins. We gave Jerkins $5,000. And from then on, it was, we would not do this for anyone. That was the reason for that policy. Now, we do need to go back and reassess that because I think it's kind of, it doesn't look like it's going to turn out what we had. But anyway, that's all I wanted to say. We didn't understand it. You're welcome. Now, do we need to vote? I have a word for you.

1:12:46 – 1:13:09•Diane Landry

Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am. I think if there had been just another sentence, yes, that may have said, if funds are allowed, Yes. Yes, you do understand what I'm saying.

1:13:42•Diane Landry

Thank you. Any more discussion about the dream grant?

1:14:04 – 1:14:21•Diane Landry

Motion to follow the guidelines. I will second it because of the verifications that we received.

1:15:11•Diane Landry

Is that what you meant by that? Is that what you meant by that?

1:15:37 – 1:16:10•Diane Landry

I requested this because I'm the agenda. Council, there are homes that appear to be mobile homes. Those have the funds. There are a lot of questions. Why are we not approved? And I just need to know what must be a three minute stadium.

1:19:52 – 1:20:10•Diane Landry

One question that As far as for me to understand, and it's the reason you're here today, everywhere I believe is that it had to be put on permanent foundation. Explain to me what that means.

1:22:02•Diane Landry

So you're doing a cord here instead, I think?

1:22:24 – 1:23:05•Diane Landry

So they set up concrete blocks just like they're moving around. Fasten them to the ground. And then have them close it. They're just regular. It seems like they've come a long way from it. And I think I'm confused. Maybe I'm supposed to because I don't understand. Every module on this has been out for years.

1:28:37•Diane Landry

This is the reason we asked you to do this, Scott.

1:32:26•Diane Landry

This was sent in back in, what was it, March of last year?

1:33:30 – 1:33:56•Diane Landry

I think that Do you know how many people come into my office and

1:59:18 – 1:59:53•Diane Landry

I think there was quite a lot. I just want to turn to everything that you did on the informing council. And we really need to put a cake on it, I'm sure. So put it up because I think it was very hard. But everyone needs to know what they can and can't do from this point on. This was mobile and modular homes.

2:01:46 – 2:02:20•Diane Landry

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And hopefully that will help us get to the point where we can get the vaccine.

2:06:02 – 2:06:48•Diane Landry

Thank you. Thank you. All right, we're going to go with meeting back to order.

2:34:45 – 2:36:03•Diane Landry

I had a problem with the sports cameras from day one, back in April, sitting under the council. We were not conferred or consulted about it. I've been doing my own research. And I know back then, yeah, every time I leave my house and I drive, it's just 27, 98, and I feel like I'm being followed. I know that they're saying, well, even because of this state, to result in that state, you could say. But if we're going to do anything that this in the city, period, it needs to come before it counts. Thanks. And my man is already there. And thank you for watching it.

2:45:29 – 2:46:36•Diane Landry

Well, I have one. I just wanted to know if there are I did not follow the local change recommendation. I think that the cameras that the county has put up in various places that we wanted to catch those people entering are even deaf cameras. Deaf cameras would be able to think out. And we'll make a motion. A motion that we end Black Human Drive period and that we remove Black Human. I don't know if I should have wished I had a permanent plan.

2:49:37•Diane Landry

One more question. When you got a motion.

2:54:40•Diane Landry

Councilman Landry. Yes. Councilman Perkins.

2:59:18 – 3:00:04•Diane Landry

It was all options. Right here too. and regularly just sit up there. I'm afraid of freezing these positions because we're having a problem now. We have to sit clean the way it should be. And we're going to freeze those positions. We're going to be in it. You understand?

3:00:08 – 3:00:22•Diane Landry

Yeah. I know, but this year, it's important. Without rate increases, we won't be able to sleep every night, see?

3:00:30•Diane Landry

Should this be put out? I'm very glad you say this.

3:01:47 – 3:02:15•Diane Landry

I don't know how far we can go. Let's try to chill. Yeah, please take care of yourself. I wrote my letter to the editor.

3:02:28•Diane Landry

And it is always the poor man who has to pay his costs.

3:02:40•Diane Landry

People do not understand personal case income.

3:05:51•Diane Landry

I will if it's a consensus. I don't know if the council is trying or not.

3:07:29 – 3:07:48•Diane Landry

Okay. Okay. Yeah, we typically apply for all of those meetings.

3:12:04•Diane Landry

So I got through the package. So I told the police department. Yeah.

3:13:25•Diane Landry

We're sure we're going to get it. Same. We need it.

3:14:23•Diane Landry

And John, he loves to talk. What? He loves to talk. He does. Can I take a picture of him?

3:14:58 – 3:15:31•Diane Landry

Thank you. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I answered a couple.
