“I have two things to add here. One of them is that the actual agenda item, the way it's written, kind of points to one proposal.

It wasn't really written like that. And the way the agenda…”

“OK, so now I go back to the attorney. This is under the deferments and new agenda items and stuff like that. Can the council make a motion to either defer or not to accept the deferral?”

“OK. So at this point, I'd like to take a straw poll type of thing. Who supports leaving it on the agenda and discussing it, or just deferring it completely? And I'll start with the lucky man on the end.”

“A couple of things. I, too, went to the September 11th commemoration, which was definitely over the top. It was an incredibly professional event. I think Arlene Borenstein, our communications director, had her fingerprints all over it. And it showed. And I want to thank the town manager, his staff. I want to thank the police chief and his staff that created a very moving ceremony. It got right to the point. A little bit of a glitch with the star spangled banner or whatever it was. I'm just entering into the space that you guys set up. It was just incredibly professional and welcoming. And it…”
