“Thank you, Madam Mayor, if we could all bow our heads in prayer. Tonight's reading is from Deuteronomy 31, verse 12. Gather the people together, men and women and children and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of his law. Amen.”

“Uh, well, yes. Yeah. Thank you, Madam Mayor. First, I want to thank the vice mayor for bringing this forward. Obviously I've said this before. It's very personal to me. My wife is Haitian American and, uh, I'm happy to hear that our three Congress people in the area did support this. I didn't know that. And my understanding from today is that there was a judge that extended this a few more days, I believe, till July 27th. I hope our senators do the right thing. They probably won't. They do what they're told. I'm making opinions here, so that's all it is. Um, there was a senator today from the…”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. I wasn't aware of that when I did the resolution. Thank you. Basically, since we were having this emergency meeting tonight, this is an emergency as far as it affects the life, health, property, and public peace of village residents. Um, you've all received the emails or phone calls as I have concerning already the speeding. It's only been four or five days, I guess, since the bridge opened. And, um, I don't, I know we passed a resolution sponsored by the mayor, our mayor here several months ago, um, for the county to get involved in this. Uh, but the issue I believe…”

“Thank you to my colleagues. I want to thank you, Madam Mayor, for taking the personal initiative along with the manager. and the vice mayor also. So again, the point of this resolution really is for expediency because time is a luxury that the residents don't have. So thank you all.”

“Thank you, Madam Mayor. And if we could all bow our heads in prayer. Tonight's reading is from St. Luke, chapter 11, verse 23 to 24. Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see and have not seen them. and to hear those things which ye hear and have not heard them. Amen.”

“Yeah, thank you, Madam Mayor. Yeah, I think well-intentioned, Mr. Vice Mayor, but I'm going to agree with a couple of the speakers. It's really not enforceable. I really think this is a parenting slash common sense item, for lack of a better word. But I will tell you this. This is something I have heard some of the complaints, and it may be incumbent upon this council to at least maybe ask the manager through some type of directive just to put something on our website to make, I don't know how you would say it, I'd leave it up to everybody here, but just to ensure that parents tell their…”

“Yeah, thank you, Mr. Vice Mayor. Yeah, good point, but I just think it's too much government involvement, for lack of a better word, on the whole thing, and it's not something I'd want to put into law. However, again, I think you have brought up a valid concern, a safety issue, and how we can educate the public at a minimal thing, I would think, would just be putting something on our website. I really don't want our police... already have, you know, there's enough to do without that. I know they would have to respond if there was, uh, God forbid some, some incident, but that's as far as I…”

“Yes, sir. Yeah, Madam Mayor. I usually don't chime in, but 100 days to chime. Just a suggestion, Mr. Vice Mayor. Perhaps you want to bring this back as a resolution. as far as it concerns the educational component at the September meeting, and I will support it. By that I mean we could, I think as the mayor said, there could be a seminar at Coral Reef Park. The police could pass out the brochures or whatever. Maybe we could do that once every few months, every three months, something, just an idea. But if you bring it back as a resolution like that, I would definitely support it in September.…”

“Thank you, madam mayor. Yeah, I would say, you know, with all, I joke about that, but I really think it is incumbent upon this council. Basically we have one job between now and November and that's to keep the ship of state afloat as best we can in the best interests of the residents and turn it over to three new people. Um, I listened to a lot of what was said. I could say this about the lawsuits. If it's in the best interests of the village to settle these before we're done in November, depending on what our legal advice is from all sides on everything, that's one big way of eliminating a…”

“Yeah, thank you, Madam Mayor. You know, usually in years past, I would tell my colleagues here to be very pragmatic. Yeah, how about $7? Don't ask where it comes from. But I try to find a consensus. But I agree with the Vice Mayor in this case. I think we have, as what I just stated earlier, We kind of have a duty. It's a infrastructure. I know when the job is done and Dio can say this, the residents are very happy when it's finished. So I would, if that's the rate, that's fine with me. Thank you, Madam Mayor. That's all I have.”

“Well, don't get excited. I just said the rate of 850 was okay. So I'm good with the 850. Is that what you recommended? For the first year, 850. Okay. Well, there's only one year. There's no year for me.”

“We can all bow our heads in prayer. Tonight's reading is from Isaiah 33, verses 16 and 17. He shall dwell on high. His place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks. Bread shall be given him. His water shall be sure. Thine eyes shall see the king and his beauty. They shall behold the land that is very far off.”

“Yeah, thank you, Madam Mayor. First of all, I haven't spoken to the police major or the PBA or the manager on any of this, so I don't want to vote on something that I fully understand. And I would say, Mr. Vice Mayor, you keep talking about the future council. Well, if it's for the future council, then why don't you bring it up for the future? Why do we need this generosity at this time? I mean, bring it up. I mean, I think it's a good idea, but I don't have enough information to make a a valid decision on it at the current time. I'm sure it's meant well. Answer his question?”

“I won't be here for all these laws and all this stuff. Madam Clerk. To our esteemed Madam Clerk, could you please read back my comments, if it please the court, could you please read back my comments verbatim from the last meeting so that this entity and the other entity, which is the CRC, with the exception of one member, can for the second time understand my meaning of what I said last time that no one seemed to understand, almost like the same thing that went on.”

“Yeah, three years, because that would push it out to an election for four years, not two years. I think that would be better for staff. OK. Is that a motion? That's my motion.”

“Madam Mayor, a question for the attorney. So I made a motion for the three years. Is that what the reconsideration is?”
