“Mr. Mayor, I agree. I think the fire truck's delightful. It's kind of a fun little time capsule. It looks nice. Like you said, it's got mayor and council on it. We can always have the 4x4 right behind the fire truck, and everybody who doesn't want to be on the fire truck can ride on the thing. But most importantly, I pray that we don't spend a whole lot of time talking about the arrangement of the parades. We've already probably spent too much time this year talking about the arrangement of our physical bodies during parades. Thank you.”

“Every year I get the impression that we're throwing out candy and we're not supposed to be. I just wanted to know, are we contributing to a level of litter that is untenable? Are we breaking a rule? You're supposed to hand deliver. Obviously, we may get mobbed if we don't. Okay, so if we hand candy, good, throw candy, bad.”

“I was saying not any faster than the car in front of me. But... I've just never noticed them going excessively fast, I guess. Last year, we were hanging way behind the rest of the people. I would say, yeah, definitely get candy with the intention of handing it out. But also, just sort of a random thought. Anybody out there, staff or otherwise, that wants to come up with perhaps a clever candy distribution system for these parades? I'd be interested if we could come up with some interesting way to deliver candy that is both fun and safe.”

“Obviously, we did it last year, but it was a very sweaty endeavor, as we discussed. But, yeah, I mean, get candy, and we'll give it out some way or another.”

“Okay, Friday the second. I will be out of town that day. And Wednesdays are out, right? Wednesdays aren't always out for me. Wednesdays are good. Wednesdays aren't, yeah, we can't do Wednesdays. All right, so that pushes us to, we've got a meeting on the 5th. Just checking, was 28th already a no-go? 28th is a no-go.”

“Mm-hmm. Well, at a workshop, you're not allowed to vote. So we wouldn't be making any kind of votes. We would be coming to consensus and telling staff to move forward.”
