And we already have issues with... no light not enough lighting in the community to see them and i i can see that that would be something i would be interested in if if it's possible to say you know not before you know you could ride before dusk but after dusk then there might be an issue with that i don't know i don't know if it's well yeah i mean but right now the the scooters the kids on scooters there's no lights”

“You know, last Friday we had the community resource fair and it was a great turnout. We had lots of people come and visit. It was really worthwhile.

It was really a good turnout. So, yeah, I just want to say it was a great opportunity to to bring the community together on resources that they might not have. i'll tell you one thing the poison control guy was surprised that most people did not know about poison control…”

“Yes. I have a question. I'm coordinating right now a volunteer program at the museum. And so I need to know city-wide because the museum is, and all of its contents are city property, then we would, go through the process of the city volunteer program. We already know we're doing the background check on people, but as far as the rest of a policy and what to do, we would need to go through the city directly and make that part of it.”

“I have a question. So you mentioned that if we were to collect too much money, what were you going to do with it? My question is, are we in that year? Do we have to spend that money only in that year or can we bank it? and only use it for that, but use it in additional years in the future or additional time? Is it restricted to the year that we collect it or the following year?”

“But then again, what Shauna said, that's one of the things that Barb talked about was that we didn't have the funds to go ahead and fix the sidewalks. When we had this discussion before, she said we did not have the funding upfront to begin with. So, you know, we can say, Gus, go do it, but we don't have the money to pay. Yeah.”

“Yes, I just want to talk about what happened over the weekend. Last Saturday we had Museum Day and it was Dino Day. And thank goodness we had lots of volunteers because we had over 212 people sign in. And I know there was at least another 20 to 30 people that bypassed signing the book. So it was quite the event. Everyone had a really good time. And I just want to thank all the volunteers. And I'm glad everyone had fun.”
