“City Manager, can you maybe ask the PD to make sure that they lock them as well? whenever they possibly can, barring any emergencies. I think that takes care of a lot of the problems there. And I've been by Brentlinger in the morning too, and there are definitely people milling around there, which they should, it's their park, but sometimes people will cause damage like that. But at night is when it can really take place. Thank you for that. Moral communications.”

“Thank you. I seem to recall that that ordinance is in place, the 10% rule, because PD wanted to be able to look in and see if there was a robbery being committed. Really wouldn't apply to retail businesses. City Manager, do you have any information on that one? In terms of how much when the youth who attend the schools, but speaking on behalf of the city, I think that's a very important topic. And I know the Selma PD and the fire department deal with the effects of drug use. Okay, with that, thank you for your call. And we will move on from oral communications to special presentations of…”

“Because I recall that original grant money was slated for Rockwell. When it got changed, it got diverted, and there was no piping that was going to be necessary at Rockwell Pond. We were going to put a big soccer field in for the kids and go from there and the 28 acres, which we're still hoping to do with the regional park. So, yeah, that makes sense that it wasn't in that original $4.5 million grant award.”

“I would say the same, but only if we're actually paying BNA Grant Services and InterWest Consulting Group. It's my understanding we wouldn't pay them unless there's a need and they're kind of on call and they offer an hourly rate. Is that correct?”

“So it just adds resources to the city's infrastructure. toolbox here in order to get that money. And as we saw tonight from director Fletcher, we got 35,000 in grants just from someone who really knows what they're doing for the, the art center and to augment that with a really first-class outfit like towns and public affairs. I think it's going to be a force multiplier for the city. Cause we, we do have a lot of projects going and you know, we are looking to, minimize the cost disruption to the public to the absolute minimum so i think this is a really a really good move um this is a agenda…”
