“Well, I mean, I proposed it. If you guys, there's no motion required, but if you guys are okay with that, we can, I'm thinking the Thursday after the Tuesday works. If that works for everyone, you guys want to take a look at your calendar quickly, but The point is to have something standing, right? I think it's to have something on the calendar that residents know is there every month.”

“Again, I sat here for two years with two people getting up month after month saying that I went to Dubai and took money, and that became the truth. So that's not acceptable. Okay, so are you, you just asked me.”

“Well, I think the question was, does it open us to liability if somebody determines up here that what the speaker is saying is slanderous, and they send them out, right?”

“All right. Thank you, Louisa. This is the last card I have, but Bruno, last chance on this item. Yes, I'm double checking. So there's no hard feelings. If there's anyone else that wanted to speak on this item. All right. Seeing none, we'll close public comment and go to commission discussion. Anybody want to start or should we just vote on it?”

“All right, so I'm going to jump in, then we're going to finish this. First of all, there's four empty offices currently upstairs in Town Hall, just by the way. OK? There's one, two, three, four empty offices. So to pretend, and then the rest of the staff each have their own office. So pretend that there's some sort of crisis up here is, again, not, it's not being honest. For somebody, you keep saying the word permanent, and for somebody who's been hung up on the words like slanderous and impertinent, permanent is a very strong word. What is permanent? And it definitely doesn't mean what…”

“AGAIN, OUR CHARTER SPECIFICALLY SAYS THE TOWN COMMISSION IS NOT TO INTERFERE WITH THE TOWN ADMINISTRATION, WITH THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS TOWN. WE HAVE LAWS. IF YOUR COMPLAINT IS, HEY, WE NEED TO ADD RULES BECAUSE WE THINK THAT THE ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE GOING TO BREAK THOSE LAWS, WELL, AGAIN, THERE'S STOPGAPS IN PLACE. THERE'S REGULATION. And those are enforceable. So I don't know what we're doing here. If you don't, you know, again, this is my leadership style. I should have that option. The next mayor that comes in should has his options. It shouldn't be defined by one person who already…”

“So I'm going to ask you to please refrain from making comments, refrain from laughing, refrain from yelling out. I know it doesn't get picked up on the mic at home, but we hear every time you scratch your nose, it's extremely distracting up here. So please just...”

“Sorry, that wasn't for you. All right, just very briefly. What problem were we trying to solve with this? Right? Like, I think there were three deaths a year from collapsing on the beach, most of those being commercial. You know, there was a problem. There were kids that dug a seven-foot hole and got buried in it. Unfortunately, terrible things happen in this world. That is not one of the ones that we start making ordinances for. Ordinances are not statements, and they're not educational tools. They're laws. And these laws criminalized regular, everyday beach activity that people do. It…”

“Again, I don't see it as a big problem, but I think to your point, whether it's a 18-foot hole, a one-foot hole, if somebody trips on it, it's a problem. Hey, guys, when you come back, we've educated them on so much, why not throw that in there? It is our beach, we want it to be nice. Of course, I would support that.”

“I would add to that is if you start making a motion for direction, I think it's clear we'll clarify to staff what we would like to see, but if we make a motion, we want an educational program. What's the timeline? What does the program look like? And by the way, if staff doesn't follow through, they could be written up. You're creating, again, if we're clear with staff, hey, this is an important issue, we'd like you to focus on some education, great, and we can follow up in a month or two, hey, why hasn't this happened yet? But if you start MAKING MOTIONS UP HERE IS A MAKING MOTIONS UP HERE…”

“Thank you. Moving on to item 2D, rescission modification ordinance 2024-1779, amending, wait, just to be clear, that was essentially the commission giving town staff direction to put a program together for safety, correct? Is it consensus? We don't need a, yeah, okay.”
