Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the City Council meeting at 6.30 p.m. We are in the listening room. This meeting is available on Zoom. The number of the meeting is 820. The number of the meeting is 509. And the phone number is 309332.

0:38 – 0:50•Speaker 2

I ask everyone to stand up to make a vow and stand up for the oath made by the President. I swear allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic represented by it.

1:07•Speaker 4

A country under God is inseparable from freedom and justice for all.

1:12 – 4:19•Speaker 7

Mr. President, I will use my phone to... Thank you. We have two moments of silence here. Two members of the school, Pat Connell Pat, served 26 years for state schools, starting as an assistant at Willis School, and finally retired from the tax department about a dozen years ago. His relationship with school began long before his career. He is very involved in the education of his children as the headmaster, vice-principal, member of the PTA, and the headmaster of the school event in Dalang Andan. Warmth, patience, and true love for the children made him a noble and friendly figure in the entire school community. His confession for years left a lasting impression on many students, families, and colleagues, and he will be remembered as someone who really cares about the cold winter school and the people who formed that community. Our thoughts and prayers are directed to his husband, his children, and his grandchildren. We also lost Len Silverman. Leanne is a special part of the general school, a cold season for almost three decades including extraordinary years as a fourth grade teacher at our school. At the age of 52, Leanne died after fighting cancer for 14 years. Throughout the journey, she continues to show kindness, patience, strength, and the same love that defines who she is. She not only invites her students, she cares about them, believes in them, and makes a lasting difference in life. Leanne is Peter's long-awaited wife, a mother who loves Patty and Madison very much. She is a hockey player's mother who is very proud and happy to see Patty and Maddy play. The great respect that I saw in her devotion at the end of last week was a beautiful reflection of how much Leanne is loved and how much she will be missed. Thank you. Risa from the meeting on September 8th has been discovered, right? Is there any evidence to prove it? Which counselor's evidence? Supported by the ERR counselor. Is there a discussion? None of them are mine. None of them are extreme. Thank you. Recommendation of general information. No. No comment. Public comment.

4:19 – 7:04•Speaker 2

In the area of ​​selection 2. I don't know how to say it, but I've heard it. I don't really listen to rumors. I'm not on Facebook. I. But I want to make sure that I promise you to continue this final stage. I have heard that there are some people who think that this will not work. And I just want your commitment. Once again, I know that you are one of many people now, and maybe there are only one or two people in the last committee who promise that we will see results. And I appreciate everything you have done so far. I know we are almost at the end and I really appreciate it. And I hope, and I ask all of you to fix it. There will be a flood at the end of this week, and I know DPW will be on the way to flood, but you don't know. The pressure in your heart and property when something like this happens in Northeaster, flood, It happened a few times ago, Girlstone was once flooded, and it caused stress. And I ask all of you to follow this until the end, so that this project can last longer than our lives, and we can rise up literally. And what do we hold on to? What can we hold on to in order to improve the infrastructure in Pleasant Girdlestone? And what flows into Tilestone? That is something that needs to be done. And I know you are not an engineer. I don't think any of you have ever seen a resume here, but I know you are not an engineer. And we have an engineer here who understands the project. Our Steve Gela understands what should be done and respects everything that is going on. And I want, maybe at the Gugur Forum, you all make that commitment again with this committee and state that you will continue to move forward. As you know, I have received your commitment to train, but it is very important for all of you to join. Our city will experience a terrible climate problem as time goes by, and this is just one point that needs to be handled. We need to find solutions for all climate needs, flood issues, and our infrastructure.

7:10 – 10:24•Speaker 6

I want to say tonight that this is my personal observation and my personal opinion about what I will say next. I would like to convey my condolences to the speaker for the open position of the ZBA that will take place later tonight. President Luther You want the people of this city to believe that there are only two plaintiffs, when in fact there are three. Because I am one of them. I know that I am the third plaintiff. Eight other members also know that. Not a single person can control the future. More than 19,000 people. We went to the city government and depended on the nine members to represent the people. If you don't become a part of Jim's agenda, you will never be considered a comitee or any committee. In my opinion, Jim is silent, hindering committees and committees. The reason is the Panitera committee that has been opened since January. One application has been proposed. Jim refused to bring it to the committee's meeting. because I don't like that person. If that's the case, he doesn't like me either. Once again, we are not in accordance with Jim's agenda. Another example of this is in the council itself. Councilor Romano, he has been sent to the rules and or regulations where Councilor Jim is malar and dimes who failed some of Romano's major proposals. For those of you who don't know Joe, he will immediately achieve a master's degree in the field of accounting. I think his talent will be better used in the financial committee. Now let's talk about Counselor Kostan. He has been sent to what I call the committee cleaning office without a name. I call it that because since he was appointed to this committee, there has never been a meeting. Not one. First of all, I don't know if you all know, have a lot of OSHA certifications. Okay, that's Work Safety and Health Administration. I think it will even be more suitable for health and safety. Do you know how to use it? Where will it be needed? As a cover. Military gym is a real example of why. Citizens must consider returning to the city government style because everyone must have a voice in what happens in winter. Jim, you always ask winter citizens to move forward and participate in local government. I just did it and you won't even mention my name. When they step forward and they are ignored, if they are not in line with your personal agenda, Once again, Jim, thank you for...

10:26•Speaker 7

I will accept that. So, first of all, everyone in WIN has a voice. I can accept that. Everyone in WARP has a voice. That is the purpose of the general election.

10:38•Speaker 7

The general election. I have never said that there is no one more than the plumber that I accept.

10:46•Speaker 8

Never. I have never said that.

10:48 – 11:25•Speaker 7

I hope you find that in some place, you will be taken by mistake. Well, I have a long way to go before other applications are accepted. Once again, I always encourage people to apply to committees and committees, and we have done our best and have tried to fill them. So, can I handle it? How many times? Okay, I want to handle it. This is not a question of how many times. So that's it. This is not actually. I don't know your name. This is called rules. If you can follow the rules, that's good.

11:27 – 11:45•Speaker 3

Thank you. I don't know what the new role is to handle. Okay, it's a job for a while. Jack Prissing, excuse me. I just want to introduce myself. I don't think there's a question there.

11:45 – 12:01•Speaker 7

That's why he's talking. You can answer the question, but I don't know what it is. Is that the rule, sir? Yes, it is. That's the rule. That's the rule that was passed. No, that's a temporary rule until I don't know if it's November. Yes. Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.

12:01•Speaker 3

My name is Jack Drain, member of the park committee.

12:04•Speaker 7

No. The park committee has been

12:11 – 12:41•Speaker 3

for six or eight years and I have always been a supporter of Article 97 about and the fire extinguisher that is planted right in the middle I have mentioned this for 10 years but the design team for this new fire extinguisher station to appoint 15 members of the committee.

12:42•Speaker 8

The construction of the fire extinguisher building, I'm sure.

12:48 – 14:16•Speaker 3

And of course, all the people sitting behind this table. So, I said, the law is not allowed to build in the park. That is the voice recognition that was adopted in 1972, so it's called the Law. Which tells people, and that is the voice recognition. by part-time citizens. That's not someone who is a resident of Java, a part-time citizen. So now you are building a city building on our land. The reason why Article 97 was chosen is because the people of Massachusetts understand that there are many cities and small towns built in the park. So, sooner or later, we will run out of open space in the park. That's why the part-time citizens of the country choose the Queen's Act of 1972. by building an auditorium. And the gymnasium in the park is not a place to play wheelbarrow, which was built in 1970. So, it is excluded from the 97th district. So, once again, 15 members of the fire extinguishing development commission together with the city council. involved in a violation of the law and there will be actions against him. I will lead that, Tali.

14:17•Speaker 7

Thank you very much. And I will also realize it. The members of the Development Committee have nothing to do with the location of the building's construction.

14:25 – 15:27•Speaker 1

The City Council did a hearing a few months ago. Regarding Article 97, it has been discussed in the Council meeting in the past. We sincerely apologize for your words when you were the first to face this and have faced it several times. The committee allowed him to make a presentation and it was clear to me at that time and the committee that we did not do anything wrong. Are there any other public comments? I just want there to be one argument on today's agenda and I'm a little confused because And I understand that it will be discussed later, but I just want to share my previous confusion. I'm not sure if it's like erasing, like having to place anything in the newspaper, that's one or that, or that. So I won't support it, because it shouldn't be one or the other. It should not be the newspaper or the website, it should be both. That's my only thought, because that's

15:35•Speaker 7

and new business and me, and that will be directed to ROS. I think the Board of Regents will try to clarify and make two sound items.

15:45•Speaker 1

No, I just want to voice it before. Thank you.

15:56 – 17:50•Speaker 7

Responding to Denny. Decide. Rosa and Nordens met yesterday, September 21 at 5 p.m. at the Harvey Hall. Some agendas. We start with the right of ownership. We have positive recommendations about ownership. We are indeed discussing the motion to remove the rules and regulations from the members of the Kostiga Council. There is also a motion to change it from the members of the Romano Council. Both of them do not have positive recommendations. We are indeed moving to the discussion of the rules and procedures of the City Council. We have almost reached the end and All the notes have been compiled now. We do introduce the agreement on the meeting that was sent to the moderator to be examined. So we will immediately finish it. We still have an agenda on the commissioning of small commercial vehicles that are commissioned until the final study is completed. Okay, then we examine the amendment of the regulation. which also counts the cost, where we will ask for the legal opinion of the city council, then we also want to ask the planning committee to involve their employees. We meet on the health permission of the public safety and employment community on Wednesday, and we discuss

17:58 – 21:26•Speaker 2

with the Tree Committee on Regulations, which will explain to the developers what they need to do to protect the trees. However, the problem with doing something like that is that we know when you start talking about it that there are more problems involved than just development. For example, and this is not something that can So what we do is, by adopting some of the small ones, we decide to write down all the tree regulations and then bring them to the committee that deals with everything about trees that we can think of, which will be a project. So, we have a draft, and what we're going to do is gather as a working team with Tony. I mean Cheryl, including Tony, of course. Include anyone who wants to be delivered to the office, please. I will do my best. You are very good. On Monday, we will also meet with the tree committee. will come and we will sit and try to complete this draft and send it to the committee and they can send it to the planning committee or anyone who needs it. CIPA will consider it, I hope, even before we have a committee. I'm trying to find out how we can help speed up these things. Some of them have been worked on for a long time. I mean, the regulations have been in place for five months or six months. There must be a better way for us to complete the process and make some decisions about it. So, as an example, saying that we do not give voice to the small part of this rule is because there are so many questions about trees, even when you think about development, it's difficult. For example, if you have a lot of trees in your property, and you don't like trees, and you want to build something different in a few years, maybe you can plant those trees two years earlier, and by doing so, you don't have to deal with the problem of tree regulation when the developer comes, because those trees are gone. So this is what we have to do to consider, to look back, to look forward, to see what the trees look like in your property. And they will still be asked to replace the trees. And as Tom said, replacing the trees in the public sector here will not work if everyone in the private sector breaks it. We don't have enough trees to cover the difference. And that's what's happening here right now. So be patient. We will do this as soon as possible and bring it back to the committee and of course open discussion and guidance. Then we will send it to the head of the school. President, I would like to make a statement from the agenda.

21:26 – 21:41•Speaker 7

We have discussed the intention to add a commentary period and public response to the agenda that we have continued. There is a request for further information.

21:43 – 30:28•Speaker 7

The school committee met last week. A relatively brief discussion only discussed the beginning of the school and the process to return everything to its place. Everything without the work of the employees is at a good level. The high season has begun. Evaluation is ongoing for the younger class now. So it's all good to start the year of the 26th. Thank you to the School Department for their work. Renovation of the Policy Committee ZPA will meet or will meet on the 24th of September, Thursday night at 6.30 PM. In its agenda is 312 Shirley Street. The applicant asked for permission to change the current accommodation hotel to a 36-minute apartment building that is needed to build an apartment building in the PA area, which does not allow several units that were previously available with parking variants. Also, 17 Main Street, the renewal of the status of the Conservation Committee has not been found to get a license. Bulbon and Louis have received a license to drink hard drinks. The committee met on September 8. After discussing, the committee reached a consensus on the following recommendations. Back to the tree plan, the development plan must be included in the zoning regulations instead of being preserved as separate documents. The current tree ratio for family, commercial, and industrial development must generally be preserved. These regulations must firmly state that the tree that is required should not be planted in the development location when the planting is in an impractical location. The trees that are required according to the rules can be planted in other locations in the city, with the location being coordinated. The rules must recognize the limitations of infrastructure, including roads, utilities, shorelines, and other location obstacles. Development must remain as maximum as possible to include trees in green spaces and green in their development. Every tree that is needed must be accompanied by financial contributions as determined by the DPW. For the initial planting and maintenance of about two years in the city, we must consider the improvement of the future that can be achieved by handling important trees and the requirements of maintenance, including trees that are located in private properties. And they, the President's deputies, do their work. which is amazing and we have a desire for this and we are waiting for the response as far as this. We have a thick regulation of 37 pages. The desire must be praised. Our manager's report has been published, but if you have it, I want to stop by saying, and this is the right time, I think. Thank you to DPW and their work on the footpath problem. Some of you know, sometimes we tend to live in confusion and assume that we talk about this every day. If we want to know, everyone knows, and that doesn't happen. Hmm, we have sent a informant to the people on Court Road, but there is a side road and so on, who do not have an informant and you know, busy with their daily lives, not realizing it. So, I'm very happy with the fact that the sign is there, the sign of a major advertisement. I hope it will stay there for a while. And that will be a learning curve. We do see today an Amazon truck moving in the wrong direction. I don't know. I don't know how. Their GPS may tell them to turn right. Is there a way to divide the city? I don't know what I mean. I don't know. I just don't know if we can contact someone like that, but I assume that Amazon only follows their GPS and tells them to turn right when they are in control. So I don't know if we can do something about it, but I don't put my hair in one direction. No. That's a very good sign. But once again, I think some of them only see the GPS and don't see it. But there will be an incident, but I think that's an amazing job. We talked a lot about how long the city government needs time to solve something, and we know that from all the experiences we have, and this has been done in a few months, basically. So thank you for all your efforts, and I praise you. And of course, through my city manager, I ask again for the police to act responsibly, and not only to keep it not too aggressive, of course, with the first few weeks, but only to keep it and build the community. So thank you for that. But the city manager for the questions and opening it for questions. Of course, what questions do you want to open? I just want to give information. Of course, we are not sure what the route is like, but it is quite large towards this weekend's beach. So just remind everyone to check your battery center. I mean, I'm more worried about the power outage than anything else because all the leaves are still in the trees and the wind is strong at a speed of 50 mph, which is thought to be the speed of 50 mph, which is thought to be the end of the world. So we might be able to survive the power outage. I've already contacted Repturo. He has a good connection to the power outage. I hope so. I hope that the crew has arrived in the city. If there is a power outage, they can immediately go down to the field after the wind. And also, you know, electricity is not too much of a concern in this area, but it can still be a problem. Of course, Hamilton is talking about the pump, we definitely have it. And I have been talking about the pump. In Kredlestone, everything will be under control, and we will monitor the other areas, and we have also prepared a flood control vehicle for transport. So we will be ready to face the flood at the end of this week, but I just want to remind everyone that I know we are busy with our lives, but you don't want to be in a hurry and not ready because we will really lose power for 24 hours. So at least in a certain area. Other than that, just to support Steve and Rambu-Rambu, I know Rambu-Rambu has electricity, was asked at the last meeting. Rambu-Rambu has already been attached to Steve and his crew because they finished it quickly and in time. So Rambu-Rambu is in Eagle City. And we also installed several other Rambu. Where is it? Rambu-Rambu Reprep. That Rambu is already removed. We haven't installed it yet. We are worried that people will throw Reprep. We install rip-rap. Worried people will throw rocks back to the sea. At the assembly there and so on. So how many rambus did you make? Obviously, the people don't like the height, so we reduced it a little so as not to hinder the view. But we also installed a few new rambus there. And finally, RFP for cross-study will drop tomorrow. At two o'clock. I already have two or three large packets on my table. The offer will be opened tomorrow at two o'clock and we will let everyone know about the price that comes in. So what do we need to find? So, of course, it's open for questions. The rambu-rambu budget may run out quickly, but once again, thank you for your hard work. Thank you, Chair. You said there was a rambu-rambu for a bicycle in Ingleside, right? Hmm, I kind of forgot. When did it start to happen? Has it already happened? So, it's already there. I just saw a lot of electric scooters there, because I just got out of there to practice football. And it's fast too. I still see it. In the entrance of the park. Is it true? Okay. The children may ignore it until they know it's there. So what do the police have to do? I mean, we have a ticket system, but it's clear that whatever we do on the highway, they will remind them first and try to do what they want. We will do our best. Thank you. I would like to ask for more information about the broken stone wall at Grandview, as you can give now.

30:28•Speaker 1

I know you've written it fast. Yes, we do not have a price of around Rp. 35,000 or more to install a new broken stone wall.

30:33 – 33:09•Speaker 7

Well, it's clear that when it comes, the person who installs it will make it cheaper. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. Elitara, news about Gluter Beach. I know that we are still in touch. I know that the TUROS representative is still in touch with us. We haven't heard this news so far in connection with taking down the trees and cleaning up the area. We have tried to get an answer, but they haven't replied. So I will definitely reply after I get the answer. Thank you for putting up a sign for the electric bicycle. But one thing that I think still needs to be done is to spread the knowledge there. I know the police department has done it. About what is actually allowed for different age groups. The safety equipment must be applied to certain age groups. E-bike scooter. So I hope maybe we can get something on the website with some information. I tried to open that web site, and no one showed up. So that will help guide the conversation. But I appreciate that we finished this quickly enough, and I appreciate the help for this. Will we participate like Friends Square, which is part of the reason we write it? Will it be? We can see the doubts. Yes, we see it. I mean, the push is to get positive feedback. Kami tidak punya rencana apapun. Saya hanya mendapat banyak komentar dari konstituen. Dan kami memiliki formulir yang menurut saya dibuat oleh mantan Letang Kavi ketika kami menyewakannya. Tadi kami masih berusaha, anak. Formulir itu memuat banyak peraturan yang baik dan semua hal yang diizinkan dan tidak dikamenkan monggahnya di situs. Terima kasih. Thank you very much for your report. Director, thank you very much for putting up those signs and working. We are very happy.

33:09•Speaker 4

They experienced a lot of problems, but most people don't know that it happened until it really happened.

33:19 – 35:42•Speaker 7

They are very happy, so thank you again. Thank you, Mr. Manager, for the meeting with us tonight. And congratulations to Roby Bowers for his promotion. He is very happy to move to that position and take over the financial position and really helps us as the financial commission to monitor the renewal. I think our chairman, Karen Capes, has ordered the next date for the renewal in January in the year of the budget of 2027. So I will wait for you. And congratulations to Chief Executive, Steve Rogers, who will be the next Chief of Police. This is a very good news. All the good things that I see this week. So, we will take this. We will take the victory when we can get it. Thank you very much. I have one more question. Mr. President, this is actually for you about We have not done it formally in the past, but there are some informal cases where members of the committee are allowed to ask questions during the committee's report. Is that codified in our committee's regulations? Is it not? Can we codify it? This is also proportional. Thank you, Mr. President. Regarding electric bikes, as far as the public is concerned, the announcement of the latest conditions in this city, and perhaps some countries, related to helmets and safety, not only the exclusion of the park, as far as the information given to the public related to safety, and where they can find it, I said, we will build it as wide as possible. The police were a big supporter when the council asked for the renovation. There are quite a lot of banners on their website, but we will make sure they are also on their website. We, as I said, came to Graafi to make a good page with all the rules that allow you to know the electric scooter, whatever is out there. So, I mean, I will tell you that most people who drive it follow the rules because they should wear helmets. And it doesn't just happen. It happens in every city I pass by. But yes, so we have to know, and I will also remind the parents when you buy these things for your children. Of course, I still see them wandering around the city here without a helmet. 25-30 meters from Beljur Street to this day, you know. So, once again, that will be the result.

35:42•Speaker 6

And as far as Tempur-Malpesisir is concerned, I know, I saw several activities there in the last few days with sand and so on.

36:01 – 36:35•Speaker 7

T is being delivered and we will start to distribute it tomorrow and we will continue to do it and hopefully we will finish most of it and then we will repair most of it and then we will repair it in the summer and then we will finish it. Good job, DPW, and thank you for finishing it. And also, I want to say thank you to MWR for allowing us to borrow the signs you talked about in the course. That's from them. Two signs we use for road safety information that is required by law to do it. So, call MWR and they will take care of it and send it to us on Sunday night. So, thank you to them. Thank you, John. back to the temple.

36:35•Speaker 6

Thank you, Mr. Demo.

36:37 – 36:54•Speaker 7

Just a brief information, take advantage of the e-bike situation, is it a good idea, even though it's black and white, like a parade to every house, you know what I mean. I mean, we have made a list for the renovation of the fire station at the last station, you know, the water station. So, the next round station, we can enter.

36:54•Speaker 6

We always get the entrance there. The reason I think so is because not everyone visits the city website and so on regularly.

36:59 – 37:14•Speaker 7

How much do we do? Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Mr. President. One more thing. You know I'm talking about the idea of the Rapport Institute, and I know you're busy. You might be able to convey it to the staff, such as Hurley will be interested,

37:29 – 37:41•Speaker 5

I have something and I will be happy to help write whatever proposal is submitted. I found one promise.

38:16•Speaker 2

Congratulations to both of you.

38:38 – 39:01•Speaker 7

President, it's time to give a comment. Once again, we are currently in the middle of a meeting. There are several questions that they have. We will try to answer them as soon as possible and they will call us back regarding the new matter. We will make that change. We are talking about November 8th. We have a meeting that will be scheduled on November 3rd and 24th.

39:06•Speaker 5

November 3rd and November 17th.

39:10 – 39:23•Speaker 7

The 3rd is the day of the election. So, you may not be able to hold a meeting on that date. The 24th is the following week. So, you can consider the following results.

39:23•Speaker 8

We can consider holding a meeting on October 20th.

39:29 – 40:00•Speaker 7

So, if we don't see it, there will be a meeting on October 20th and December 1st. So, if we go to the 10th and hold a meeting, it will happen 3 weeks before, 3 weeks before. So, if I have a proposal to comply with the law and change the November meeting calendar to hold a meeting on November 10th. And the proposal was made by members of the committee supported by the committee. There is a discussion, Mr. President.

40:02•Speaker 2

We have talked about holding your planning meeting.

40:06•Speaker 5

The second meeting in November will go well if we hold a planning meeting on the 17th.

40:09 – 41:45•Speaker 7

But I don't want to hold a special meeting on the 10th because we will have an agenda for that month, but we can hold the next meeting after that. But now we are going to find out on the 10th that the proposal has been made by members of the committee. It has been implemented. There is a further discussion because there is no discussion. I have a proposal to change the rules. And before I send it to the rules, I just want you, members of the committee, to make this proposal and I want to give you a chance to explain it a little. And then we will refer to it. So I see how confusing it is. What is asked is that we also include public relations information on the city website and not only in the news. I just want another option so that people can find it. I know that I understand that people might be confused when I say that posting on newsletters and city websites is more liked but not mandatory. That means I want if we just do both. But I prefer if we do both but you only need newsletters because that's the only thing that is required by state law. So I'm just trying to prevent a situation where it doesn't go to the right website. We have the right to choose. That makes sense. So I don't want to make it more tight to have to give voice to the whole news. I also want to make it easier for the public to have other places where they can easily see this news.

41:45•Speaker 5

With the trial of the council.

41:49 – 42:00•Speaker 7

So it will change the sentence. Previously it was posted once, or posted on the city website as well. And posted it. That might make sense.

42:03•Speaker 3

The rules, and if you want to send this to the rules, then we can. You change it. So what? This will be a committee, Mr. President.

42:12•Speaker 7

Make sure to comply with the rules, but only to clarify that you have some concerns. My message is to the members of the parliament to try to make everything more transparent, easier for the public.

42:20•Speaker 1

I also just want to explain to the public that there will be an open forum about this. This is a free initiative, sir. So there will be more opportunities.

42:30•Speaker 7

There are a few things I would like to say. First, I live in Quincy A, close to the road that leads to Crest A or Crest

43:00 – 43:36•Speaker 1

at Junction Riviera Street. I thought they were doing some work. So I was very happy because the stairs there were very dangerous. The stairs were curled in several parts, and they were curled in other parts. There was no fence there. But it turned out that they were only burying small roads that were only used to mark some cars, So I am very disappointed to see that the city prioritizes the parkings that are honored, because it is clearly not a crosswalk and does not pay attention to pedestrians. I mean, at least pedestrians use that road every day. Especially, just to explain.

43:36•Speaker 7

From Queen C.A., the road goes from Queen C.A.

43:39 – 44:24•Speaker 1

to River Street to Persimpangan. It ends there. So I'm just asking when will it be improved. and hope so that pedestrians are also considered when work is being done on the road and pedestrian paths in Texas. And the other thing I want to ask is about Maggi Corner. Is there a ban on red lights when heading to Main Street just because it's a very crowded area and the school is close by? I know it's a flashing yellow light, but that light changes from green to yellow flashing red? But I think some people don't.

44:24 – 44:47•Speaker 7

Sometimes I turn to the street, not to me. If someone takes a right turn from Freight to Mainen, is there a road in that turn? No. So the store on the right is... Winthrow Street, which leads to Morton. If you come from Govness Drive to Lampu Merah, the store on the right is Winthrow Street. Yes.

44:50•Speaker 7

straight ahead, it won't be correct when the light is on. You know, the right turn when the red light is on.

44:55•Speaker 2

No, I'm asking if it's possible not to turn.

44:58•Speaker 7

No problem. There is no right turn when the red light is on automatically marked as red. No.

45:01 – 45:59•Speaker 1

But I think some people are still doing it. And because the school is close and the population is very dense, That's my other input. And then, I just want to go back to the taxi discussion. I sent letters to all the city council after the first meeting when the taxi company owner was here, and I didn't get any response from anyone. However, what I want to say is that I know that this city is not able to subsidize taxi travel for Manula residents, but There are sources of funding that can be used at least to subsidize a number of taxi trips for Manula in limited amounts per month or something, or per year. So that's my question. I want to see it in a more holistic way. If Manula is having a hard time with high taxi rates, and I think there is a way for us to get money to help subsidize their journey. And my last question is, is there an update on 3A on time?

46:03•Speaker 2

Deliver it to Bell.

46:04•Speaker 3

I don't have any updates on 3A. I know.

46:08 – 47:10•Speaker 7

My understanding of the case is... The case of the mandate that was not funded by S5 by the City of Martsville and others has been rejected by the Supreme Court, which was not done by the judge in the second case, either our case against AG or the case of exclusion back... And I know that the city is doing some work on other potential plans to be brought to the council to help 3A. To the first question, you are about the general route from Quincy to Jalan. I know we have discussed this as a council a few years ago, a year ago, and we completed Herman Street to Walden Street and it was fantastic. and we conducted a summit. We are working on a set on the current law of Sagan. We submitted an offer and it has been approved. The area there is Jalan Setapak, which is an asfalt, which is part of the CIP project.

47:10•Speaker 8

Not the city that said yes.

47:13 – 47:55•Speaker 7

That's part of the project. We have identified the Quincy Highway as a need. The city manager is committed to allocating a certain amount of money for this ladder. Is there more than half of those who really need it? I agree. The key route is of course on the list. We will check it. I'm just wondering about the ladder of the Puncak Sagore application. Are you saying that the ladder is alone? We did it, we worked as a staff at the ground floor, from top to bottom, basically, where the ladder was at the bottom. The ladder was given, we worked with the contractor to set it up.

47:55 – 48:09•Speaker 8

It will be deleted. Reporter, similar to what you see on South Street, which we did outside of Premier Street. Aluminum, and then we will continue with the first work.

48:11 – 48:23•Speaker 7

Once again, I work together with the city manager to prioritize which one. You know, try to evaluate which one needs to be done next. But how much do we have to pay? Here you go.

48:23 – 49:26•Speaker 2

I just want to comment on the electric bike. The police office plays Hamilton too. I was just thinking when you talked about us having a ramp for electric bikes. We have, you want to connect a piece of paper to a fence or a water pipe. But what about the school system? I think we're talking about children. So maybe the schools have something, maybe they can send something through their school system for Cummings and maybe the middle school above to discuss this issue as well. And WCAT can also be a good example of that. I know a lot of people, maybe they visit websites. I want to see more people on this chair, but to invite children to ride electric bikes. And then I thought, that's just one thought. And then I thought, how about with a different language? I mean, we have a diverse population, and I don't know if the WCAT can or can't handle it. In schools, in various languages as well. So, these children are still safe, their parents understand them, and understand the law that you are trying to propose.

49:26•Speaker 8

Is this a public comment?

49:31 – 49:42•Speaker 7

Check out the placing part. It seems that every meeting in this room is for the defense.

49:44•Speaker 3

The tree was mentioned, but it was a private meeting with the tree committee.

49:52 – 50:03•Speaker 7

Maybe they have to hold a meeting in this room. So people who are not present can join the discussion.

50:03 – 50:21•Speaker 3

I don't know if there is another committee. who meet in person. You know it's hard to get their attention. So if they are in this room to talk about trees, there is a lot of interest in trees. Thank you. They have to meet in this room so that people can participate.

50:21•Speaker 8

Thank you. What he means is that they are women. Open, right. Open for what?

50:39•Speaker 2

It's just that they don't use Zoom.

50:40•Speaker 4

No, you have to do it right away.

50:43•Speaker 2

And sometimes they don't have many people present. I feel like there are one or two people present.

50:53•Speaker 7

Are they present in the morning? At six in the afternoon?

50:56•Speaker 8

At six in the afternoon. I don't think that's their request.

51:01•Speaker 7

I have to ask them. They've been there for a long time. I don't know if they came here. Mr. Morgan John.

51:11 – 52:42•Speaker 4

Mr. John Morgan from Police Office No. 4 about the ladder that has just been discussed. I am not familiar with all of that. I have asked the members of the VIN committee. Can you tell me? And I can get a picture of the ladder you mean. And is it possible? Access to wheelchairs. Once again, I'm not sure how high the height of the wheel is. There are many. Dimensional questions that must be asked in order to be accessed by people with disabilities. I just want to convey it because I have thought about this, but then I thought about other things and I forgot and I don't want to forget. So you know someone, when they feel comfortable, they can contact me. And this is only for the sake of knowing myself, this is the way I want to know myself. education, and only to get an idea of whether this accessibility problem can be overcome. And if not, why not? So that in the future it can be said that this problem has been examined and this is the result. Thank you.

52:42 – 52:54•Speaker 7

Thank you. And Consul Irvin has proposed that we will talk to the Director of the Department of Public Works to get more information, more relevant information, and to contact you, John. Thank you for the question.

53:00 – 55:45•Speaker 8

Hello MaxKorea, Polisitiga's office. I just want to continue some of the comments I made in the last session about the surveillance cameras in our city. I would like to link it with this recent announcement that Steve Rogers will be the new head of our police, joined by the Department of Winter Police, or more precisely, promoted to that position on October 1st. Okay, I understand once again as a note, you have proposed, or more precisely, supported this camera blog, and I want... to convey the concerns that my family had with me about the application of this camera. Once again, I will definitely direct these questions to the head of the Rogers Police in the future, but I want to convey it in this meeting. It is important to remember that there are several cases throughout the United States, and not only throughout the country in Massachusetts, including in cities like Stowe in New Bedford, about a police officer who kidnapped a boyfriend. We need to remember that this system is very broad. This system is not only present in our cities, but also across the country, including gathering places, and perhaps in front of schools and other places where children tend to gather. This is a relevant issue, especially considering the accusation of child rape and assault and beating of children against the former Lieutenant of the Winter Police, James Philly Philly. I will ask the question, why do visitors and residents have to believe that this system will not be used by the Winder Police Department against our most vulnerable members of society? Our children are very precious. However, they do not have a voice in the matter. You know, the voice in the matter speaks. and must be acknowledged. Just by looking around this room, you know that demography tends to fall for older people in people who make public comments. I know you are an exception, a member of the Roman Council, but at the same time I feel that this is a problem that must be acknowledged. I will say this from my point of view, not many young people have a voice in this matter. So especially, you know, not only young adults but also children who live in this city that we love and want us to see succeed. I don't want them to take that risk when they go to our city and when they go, you know, under the surveillance of this camera system. So that's all I want to say tonight.

55:55 – 58:53•Speaker 5

A little bit of the latest information about the play-and-pleasance meeting on the 14th of June. There was an accident there that broke one of the poles on the side of the washroom. Coincidentally, there was no push button on that side so that the pedestrian could cross the road. Could it be possible that when replacing the pole, we could put a push button so that the pedestrian could cross the road from that side? I don't know. I need to pay. I don't understand. But we have to replace the pole too. Because at least since 2021, it has become a known risk of safety and non-AD. But the good thing is, there are many cameras in the discussion. So, if something happens, we will know what happened. I will turn to, I really pay attention to all the cameras in the city. The new discussion that has just been completed was built in a version that does not need to be mentioned. At least there are eight cameras there. Maybe there are more. I see there are three different types of cameras in that discussion. Yes, I don't know how they are funded. I assume it will be funded by Malaysia. But it will be very interesting to take advantage of some of the safety money to really do some structural safety for people on the street. I don't know, it's just a thought. And my last thing, for the past 73 weeks, we have stood on the bridge. This week, this Saturday, will be the 74th week. I don't expect many people to be there because the weather will be bad. We will be there. But I just want to make it very clear. I want everyone in this community to stand by. I want members of the council to stand by. But I don't know if people understand why we started it. That's a direct response to two members of our community who were beaten in front of my house. So I know there are a lot of feelings about my father. If you don't know, it means you don't know. I don't go out because I want to behave politely. I don't go out because I want to be mean to others. I go out because I'm angry. I'm angry with what happened. I'm angry because people don't realize what actually happened. Not only nationally, not only in the country, not only in this city. People are directly affected by AIDS. People are affected indirectly by ASE, and it seems that no one wants to talk about it. So that's it. Thank you.

58:57 – 59:46•Speaker 7

Humas on October 3rd at 9 am. I think on Saturday we will hold an official event, Kembali Pohon Saruci, at Saruci Field. with the construction of the fire extinguisher building. So, we should just move it. In many things, I am very happy with this because it gives us a chance to return a little and talk about the children of Soluji the destruction that was experienced at that time and gave us the opportunity to dedicate ourselves again and show love and respect for that. So I encourage people to come.

59:48•Speaker 8

We will hold a fall season forum.

59:50 – 1:01:04•Speaker 7

We are required by the government to hold a fall season forum about finance, a fall season forum about the creation of services. The fall season forum will be held on October 6 at the DO Senior Center. We will hold a special council meeting before that. We are also going to hold a police headquarters and the possibility of officers. So, I encourage people to attend. The initial voice-over started on October 17 to October 30 in the city hall lobby. I am sure that there are some non-indigenous faces who work at the voice-over place and I accept it. I give thanks to them previously for their work. And you also know that we have just held a general election. I don't know if my choice of not being active is the right word or not, but they have to go through a little bit. Nothing strange. However, I encourage people who may not give a voice in the pre-election election to contact the City Council Office and verify the status of your voice. Make sure you are not active or make sure if you have to sign something or do something, you can do it before November to make it easier for you. I was wondering if you have a voice.

1:01:05 – 1:02:20•Speaker 2

Thank you, Tom. Mr. President, the Conservation Commission invites everyone to join the Revolution of Beach Sand, which is an event sponsored by the state of Massachusetts. Some of its sponsors are the management of the Massachusetts Coastal Zone, the Executive Energy and Environmental Affairs Office, the Department of Conservation and Recreation, the Coastal Administration, and the National Atmosphere and Coastal Conservation. Join the second year of sand to keep our beach clean Meet at Dunovan Beach on October 3 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will be the delivery location and the plan is to clean Dunan Beach and then Johnson Beach from public access to Surgeon Street to Woodside Avenue through Cottage Park. So the meeting place is Dunovan Beach at 11 a.m. to share trash bags and gloves and then your choice of public access to clean. Easy cleaning, hand washing, easy work. And thank you to the Director of the Department of Agriculture, because he has ordered his crew to take the bags from the road for us after cleaning. Thank you. And please support the agricultural market in this last season. On Sunday, it comes from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Taman Samping.

1:02:20 – 1:03:00•Speaker 7

And only to support the agricultural market, they have done an amazing job. The market continues to grow bigger and better, and I want to thank them for their hard work. I'm not sure about the weather that will come. Will it have an impact? But I hope so. If it happens, they will expand it to my right. I live in that area, and I see the activities there and go there. It's really surprising how well they do it, and how far they have gone from the beginning. So I encourage people to see it. You won't be disappointed. And seeing that there is no further arrangement in front of the council, I consider this meeting
