“I feel basically the same way, but delaying this another couple weeks is not going to make a difference. We've waited on this for four years, and I think that since this Arbor's task come aboard, since I was mayor, maybe we could reach out to him and talk with him a little bit more about it. I think that would probably help our ordinance be a better ordinance in the long run.”

“I just want to make sure that the citizens are the ones that I've been receiving mail from would have a chance to come in here and State your case in front of the council and see if we can't keep this to where everybody's sort of happy. They don't all have to be happy, but sort of happy. It would be a whole lot better than what we've got now because a lot of people's mad. A lot of people's happy. So I'd like to get in between there somewhere. And that's the main thing. I want to make sure we have citizens who want to speak, come and speak.”

“No, we can't. If we have to, we could pay somebody. So that, well, it might not be cheap, but it's worth the time or a little money to spend to get an expert to tell us what we're doing and what we should be doing right. So, yes, I'm saying that we need an arborist whenever we have this meeting, whether it's the gentleman that sent us the package or if it's somebody else. I think we need an arborist here for that time or however long it takes to pay if we have to. All right.”

“Okay. It cost us money last time. But with that being said, I've got a lot of confidence in you guys and I do appreciate you stepping up as the owner of the company saying that you're going to look after this project because this is going to mean a whole lot to you as much as it does to us. Because if we have a problem, it's going to fall back on you just as much as it will the town. So I hope that y'all keep up with what's going on and keep I have all the confidence in the world that you will do that. Thanks.”

“I happened to be at the festival when you called it off, sir. I thought it was the right move. I did hear a little feedback from, they're saying things about we shouldn't have done it because it didn't happen out here in the area, but it was a smart move. If I go to a football game and they have a lightning strike within five miles or six miles, they cancel the football game and send you home. So with that being said, sir, I think you made the right decision. And the next time, I hope you do the same thing. And the people that don't like it is fine. Thank you. Thank you.”

“I'm sorry. I have a farm on the Swordlock area, but the other morning, I came out of the Golden Egg, me and several other people, and that 17 came in a cop car with the blue lights behind me on 17th. They pulled over in front of the Golden Egg, and your officer rolled down the window, never got out of the car, rolled down the window and told them they wasn't supposed to be on 17th and drove away. Never did he get out of the car. As soon as he left, they got right back on 17 and went up to 5th Avenue and crossed 5th Avenue at the stoplights. Why would you or any officer have a golf cart riding…”

“Yes, sir. And I appreciate what you're doing and who you're going with. But anytime, anytime you see a goth car, I don't care if it's a town person or if it's a town person that lives here. If you're out on 17 driving a goth car, you should be giving it to me. I don't care who you are. Because everybody, if they're smart enough to drive a goth car, it tells you not to be on that road. That is a dangerous highway. And that if I could got around our equipment, I would have took a picture of the incident because I thought it was that serious. I really wasn't going to bring it up tonight, but…”

“Well, why I put it on the schedule to talk about It was brought up to me at our festival down at the pier that our restaurants were selling alcohol and pursuing people who didn't know since they were on the sidewalk selling it that they couldn't leave that establishment and walk around in our town. I had several residents to come up and I told them that I'd bring this up because our ordinance in our town says that we can approve. The town has to vote on it to approve in a designated area, a designated area to drink alcohol, but they have to have it approved by town council. And I want to know…”

“uh it's basically what we did for third avenue we've done basically the same thing up there we've marked up an area you can drink and put up signage and said this is your limit you can't go to father and is and i don't think they had no problem doing that either so i think it was a good idea it's but this is the reason i brought this up is we need to have something that we know, and the chief knows, and everybody else knows, what is the deal? What is the limit you can go to? Mr. Mayor, I want to make a statement.”
