“It's just basically that we will... That we have the authority to address the conduct inconsistent with the principles through our existing laws and policies. That's all you have to say. All you have to add.”

“Okay. And then... So since the DDA is going to give us the 673, is this 100 part of that 673? Yes. And will they send that to us? Correct. Okay.”

“Well, I mean, I appreciate those safety concerns because that is the most important. But it looks like if we've already got, you know, a number of violations of age driving, then it's most likely it's going to happen in the crossing as well. So, I mean, that is, you know, maybe something that has to be addressed. Because I think it's going to be worse, you know, for a 14-year-old to be driving a golf cart just around the neighborhood. It will be even worse trying to cross the main street. So, I think that is certainly something to consider.”

“Margaret Lentz from 9 North Lentz. I'm just thinking about the golf cart, too. I have a golf cart, and it's so much fun to run around Avondale. And I always thought, oh, that'd be good if we could go across the street. But when you think about it, you're going across the street to traffic, not residential street. There's tons of traffic over here now. And it's like, where do you go, and how far can you go? Can you go down to Sam's Crossing? I don't know. So... I love having a golf cart, but I think it might be dangerous to have them all back in the year when there's cars. I mean, you go to…”

“Hey, good evening, everyone. Thank you for coming. I prepared a statement that I would like to read. I just want to take a few moments to address the incident that occurred after the June 23 millage rate hearing, and in particular the allegations regarding my involvement with Avondale FYI. I believe we can all agree, regardless of anyone's suspicions or concerns, the events of June 23rd were not the appropriate way to address them. If there were any questions about my involvement, I would have welcomed a direct conversation. Questions should be asked before conclusions are reached and…”

“Well, because, you know, I generally don't like to vote for things, you know, in one reading. You know, that's kind of the way I feel that we should have the two readings. But if this is just something to clean up the financial stuff in order to get the audit finished, then I'm okay with it.”
