“And also the issue becomes sometimes, it's not common, but there are times when you get spots also deeded out. These are detailed.”

“That would be it. That's right. That was actually my issue. I'm actually the opposite. I think safety is paramount, but aesthetics do matter. And the idea of spray painting the sides of the sea walls. I can tell you right now, I'm sure some of the residents aren't going to be happy not to mention that. It's not visible at night, and it will fade away between sun and seawater. I also have a problem.”

“But the other thing also at the same time, there's another factor here is also the other option, the way it's written, it also says it can be secured up against the seawall. I don't think anybody's going to want to start screwing anything into their seawall either. So it leaves us really only option three, which means they've got to put signs that are going essentially put into their backyard facing out to the outside. I'm torn on this one, because there is a safety. The chief and I spoke about it. There is a safety advantage. And I think there's also a safety disadvantage, because now, if…”

“I'd be more inclined. I mean, look, I'm still torn on this one. But I'm more inclined, because this is only a four-inch letter. It's going to be hard to see anyways unless someone's up close. But I do see the benefit, obviously, if somebody, the chief made a very good point to me that our officers generally are going to know where they are. But if there's a neighboring police force that comes over and wants to find somebody on the island, I think it's easier for them to find. Part of me is thinking this should just be something that's voluntary for the single family homes. The multifamily,…”

“But let me ask you one thing. So an installation goes to whom?”

“Well, but there's a liability issue there, too. We've got to be careful not to have to do it. But we have to do it in a certain way to limit liability, because you don't want to have a scenario where someone places it on something, either damages it or puts it in an area that's going to be obstructed.”

“So let me just ask you. So you guys moved it, but are you moving it as is or moving it just specifically with this sign that's going to be affixed with an epoxy?”

“But I'd like to have it that when you're deciding where specifically to put it on, the location, that you have an officer with you that the police department is there to actually make the determination. Yes. As far as. Yes. That's how we. Well, I'm saying not the building department. I'm just saying. Yes, absolutely.”

“No, no, I'm just saying, but I don't even want it just to stand by itself because the issue is if something ever happens and they come back and there's a liability question, I want us to be able to say, you know, police officers chose it here specifically for this was the highest safety. Yes. safest area. That's what I want to know.”

“Well, nobody's building right now without hurricane glass on there anyways. I mean, they're just, it's standard. Nowadays, you have to just, if you want to be able to insure it, and you have more choice.”

“So if you vote yes, you're reversing it. Right. So you're reversing it. OK. Because I thought it was, the way it was slid in there, I thought the title is to create the waiver. Right.”

“So why don't you come back with a change next time to clean that makes it more permanent. I think we're all looking forward to the idea of residents, if they're going to upgrade, getting the waiver, but not the multifamily, and just do straight across the border that way.”

“Oh, OK. Oh, so leave it alone. It doesn't. But he also said that it actually sunset. He's just been left leaving it into effect.”

“Oh, then we don't have to do anything. Alex had said otherwise that there was a sunset in 2015.”

“Let me ask real quick, Isaac, what you were asking.”

“But that's with you. Isaac, what I was going to ask was, what you were talking about, I know in the past we've had a closed meeting before the collective bargaining conversation. were counseled. I mean, we never did it individually. We would do a closed meeting with counsel, which we didn't do this time.”

“I agree with you, Ezzie. I prefer the eight-hour shifts. But I think the way I'm looking at it there goes back to the same thing. This is a one-year deal. That's it. This is a prove-it time period, that if the officers want to have those 12-hour shifts, they better prove that they can stay just as efficient through this one year. I don't know if that's going to be possible, but it's worth giving them the shot for it. You know, I also, I would love to have the open, you know, I'm sorry, the closed session, an open discussion for us within the closed session. I'm just not sure timing-wise, you…”

“Right now, I've got the pending motion as is. So we'll see if that doesn't pass, then we have the other.”
Town Council · Oct 14, 2026

“My motion is to pass it as is right now. Because my thought process is this is a one-year deal. We're already into the year. We're going to start negotiations on the three-year deal probably sometime by the middle or early part of next year. And we can go from there. But I think it's a prove-it year for them for as far as the eight to 12-hour issue.”

“Amendment 3 is one month away. No, but it won't affect our budget for this part of America. It affects the next year's budget.”

“Let me ask this. If we did, is it possible time-wise to do the closed session, get everything else from there, and finish up the negotiations so that we can have this completed and on the November agenda? Yeah. You think you can do it in that time period with the negotiations? Because we're asking about whether or not we can package it all together. That's what you guys want. We want to make sure we can do it time-wise.”
