“Counselors, I've had a challenge today. My internet providers going on and off. I see it. They're sending me texts from my house, my businesses. I don't know if it's happening here for the city. It seems like it might be island wide. So we're going to take, Casey, what do you need for a five minute break? I know it's a long meeting, but about a five minute break. Let's use the bathroom. We have a long agenda after that. So it'll be a good welcome break. And excuse me, Chairperson, we do have public comments. So we're going to get to them right after this because our screens are down.”

“Thank you. Joan, before you call the next person, I just want to comment real quick. And I want to spend too much time. This is a plan we followed based on the pickleball players, the type of panels and where they were going. However, we're flexible. We'll talk to staff on it. But just wanted to make it known this is what was suggested we put in place. With that said, if it's medical challenges, we'll get together with our city manager and we'll certainly talk about it ASAP. Joan, next person to bring up, please.”
