I don't think I was here for one of those. You weren't here for the special meeting?
Well, the Historic Preservation Commission has had, I think, only one application this year for a certificate of authenticity, so we haven't been very busy on that aspect, but The seal, I'm happy to say Amy has been in, has been from our communications department, has been in touch with me. And on the 28th of this month, they're going to put some of the people that are going to bid on this removal phase one up in a bucket to look and see what they're getting into And what we want to do is get some good close-up pictures. The point being is that I would like to rectify something that was…
Yes. You folks know I teach communications and history, which is a pretty good combination. And Nothing surprises me with what my students will come up with and nothing surprises me about the questions that they ask. But when I hear someone prominent in the community running for office, spouting a conspiracy theory about the United Nations, I have to address it. UN 2030 is just one of a series of comprehensive plans, not unlike the one that this council in town labored to create. It's a plan. It's an outline. It's a vision. It's not a conspiracy. That's old and tired conspiracy, as a matter…
I would oppose tabling, and I think this is very, very important. And it is unfortunate that it's a piece of linguistic gymnastics that it may be hard to explain to the general public that isn't familiar with it. But I think it's really, really important that we do, because that was an additional bite at the apple. It made a mockery of the process, as far as I'm concerned, just my legal opinion. And, yeah, it made for a very... a very uncomfortable 10 days for those of us who were on the tooth end of that recall petition. So that's where I stand on it. I would not support tabling. I think it…
Like an Uber. It could be an Uber, right?
I would have to say that I think I would agree with that. A very good idea. Upper college age. Like almost finished college.
Could I just ask, what exactly is it that's narrowing that pipe?
So Pat, were you there when they No. No.
Questions for... Yeah, just I have a question. What is an emergency mobile home park that we do for free?
So I understand. I was trying to look for a scenario where a mobile home park would be an emergency, but yes, I understand. Okay.
They've got AI screening the sand. That's how they did it.
I just want to make sure I understand. The police parking lot is basically going to sit like an island. Paved, no?
And does he get his own contractors, or is he?
But should he not decide to pony up with his paving project, the police would have a little island of pavement, right?
And would it start where the driveway goes in? Correct.
And then it would go back. So it wouldn't look totally ridiculous. No. I mean, not that it makes a difference, but we have to think about aesthetics.
That's a good point. Well, if we move out of there in 17 years, we're just going to take that baby. Yeah, we'll go out and grind it all for you. I'll be in charge of that. I'll be dead in 17 years.
I move that we go into an executive session.
