“I do, and I know many people are not going to smile upon it, but I'm just kind of moved in a sorry position because we didn't consider, and I know we said no raises and all, but we didn't consider, we talked no raises, and y'all know I'm talking about the boots on the ground, those who are already not making, much, and then here comes the insurance. And I notice you say issue, and it is an issue. I do see it as an issue. And I know the budget is what it is, but I just want to know, is it a corner, a creeping crevice somewhere where we can do something? I just, and I'm kind of disappointed…”

“It is, and I brought this up before, it is very unsafe. We know many have, there have been fatalities, parades behind children running behind candy. And our last parade, I literally saw a child go under trying to get candy. But isn't the county, is it a county ordinance of the no throwing candy? State statute. State statute. Okay. I'm going to say we both. guilty of it but it is very unsafe I don't I don't like it I did walk in hand candy and like I said I saw it my own eyes what could have been a tragedy I would I would say yes to candy to be safely handed out by the rules get out of the…”

“Go ahead. If I may, if we would take youth off because it's not just youth recreation committee. because it's actually seniors, youth, Families, we want it to be a community, not just youth recreation. And that may not be a big deal to some, but I think it's necessary that we point that out. And I do appreciate this being on the agenda today. I really do. And one of the requests I've asked that those items which were proposed by myself, I would like to have those items set in place. and hopefully running by my departure of this seat. That means a lot to me, and I certainly appreciate it. And…”

“So, Mayor, and again, we haven't really said the purpose of the board. And I know Councilman Carter said the money, but it's greater than that. I mean, if you think about it, you would want this board to identify recreational needs. throughout the city, the community. So I think there are responsibilities that are great. Now it would come down to the funding, but there's some criterias that would need to be dealt with before. Because first of all, the operation, and we know we have proposed two entities. and working as one unit, if I can put it in that way. And I hear workshop, and I know…”

“I'm not saying to keep it that way. I mean, whatever, because it was, that is budget, the way it was budgeted. And those funds were budgeted as to 72 Richardson and 72 Anna Meadows. That's what it was. But listen, listen, let me say this. That's why this committee is very important. Because it may be something that Richardson or nor Annie Meadows offer. And it may be something really great for the community. You know what I'm saying? So if that's the case, the programs have to match. Operational programs have to match before those funds are distributed to either, right? So I'm saying if Annie…”

“Just a casual board. This is not going to be a board that we see in the city around all the time. This is a very unique committee. And one thing, I do believe that this needs to carry on for two years and us not have to look at it every year.”
