“Okay. My comments are last night a student from LCMS got critically injured playing at Memorial Stadium, so I just want to put my thoughts and prayers out to his family. I hope that he comes through and recovers. I know that he was lifelighted. So put your thoughts and prayers out to him. 9-11 is tomorrow. It's the 25th anniversary of probably one of the most pivotal moments in American history, if not the single most pivotal moment in American history since December 7, 1942. We... we've traveled a long distance in time uh since those planes hit the towers uh we as americans have um you know…”

“All right. Ladies and gentlemen, the Lake City Council has opened its public meeting. And since 1968, the city code has prohibited any person from making personal, impertinent, or slanderous remarks or becoming boisterous while addressing the city council. Yelling or making audible comments from the audience constitutes boisterous conduct. Such conduct will not be tolerated, and there is only one approved manner of addressing the city council, and that's to be recognized and then speak from the podium. Failure to abide by the rules of decorum will result in removal from the meeting. Like I…”

“70 to Richardson, and then forming a committee like Vice Mayor Young suggested the first night.”

“Yeah, but primarily in the people who have their stuff together here tonight and have a budget, I would imagine they'd be able to approach that committee pretty quickly. My thought actually would be to have somebody from both boards on that committee have youth pastors, have the vice mayor at the time, and to make sure that money was allocated for the wellness and oversight of good programs and after-school programs and stuff like that for children, yeah. whoever's hosting them and putting them on at the time. Because let's be fair, it might not be, the park could be leased out by an entity…”

“We said that we would add that position. We just funded the CRA at $1.2 million to roll out programs for, I mean, so to be fair to Annie Max, I want to read what this is real fast, right? So he presented a budget. It's very well put together. It's on a quarterly basis. But half of this, in terms of probably miscellaneous and improvements to that part, can be pulled out of the CRA. That CRA manager who will be overseeing those funds can help process grants to pay for renovations, to pay for improvements, et cetera, et cetera. That person will also be helping folks who are in our community, our…”

“That's why there's an advisory council that would be overseeing that.”

“So I'm going to finish my point now. My point is based on, my view is based on a meeting that I had with several of our pastors from that area about three weeks ago. Pastor Nelson was involved in that meeting. What they said and what I took away from it was that the children need several things. They need counseling. They need tutoring. They need all of these things. But when I asked, where would this be, Pastor Nelson, what did they say? They said, we need to put funds into Richardson. And then have somewhere that these kids can get counseling as well. So that's where I started thinking,…”

“I would still have whoever is the vice mayor over that. But what this would do is it would disable the silos of each board from not working together. It would force people to work together. right to to not duplicate or even triplicate the same programs but work together so that if we want to get more done and do more things for the kids we're not doing three or four of the same thing we're doing one of the same thing and coming to that committee for that money mayor that makes it not organized I think that having it split up into five or six different entities makes it not organized. That's…”

“The programs that you have at Antimatic Spark, is there anywhere else that has those programs that duplicate those programs?”

“Let me ask you another question. On that board, and I think that we can all look at it, are there any monies for youth services on that board currently?”

“I'm not saying don't give you guys any money. I'm saying let's put all of it into a youth council so that the organizations of the community can work together to best allocate those funds for the most use and the most impact on the most children. Okay, I got one question. I think that I was misinterpreted whenever I said that.”

“It might seem that way to you, but it's not true. What that advisory council would do is they'd be able to look at the allocation, the programs that they allocated to, and say, hey, maybe this money could better be spent in your programs doing this because we already have a tutoring or this because we already have a counseling. So no, absolutely not. Well, I can tell you now. I dismissed that premise that you're saying that I don't trust you because I've gone from – no money to money by an advisory council that can oversee it and make sure that we're not duplicating funds into different…”
