Town council meeting May 3, 2023, School resource officers; Vice Mayor Barrett is concerned about what is the definition of our"School" May 04, 2023

Show notes

This resolution, other than some minor changes, should've passed in about 15 minutes. However, Vice Mayor Barrett is concerned about the definition of what a school is and consequently the deliberation goes on for a long time. Councilman Nicholson is concerned about funding, but he has been an advocate for the expensive BMX track. I think you'll find this very interesting.

This is a short recap the April 5 2023 town council meeting. Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

I address the two important issues that I feel were the most relevant during this rather mundane Council meeting. School resource officers and steam pump ranch came up during the meeting. The school resource officer item was put on for the next agenda. Steam pump ranch needs a definition as to what of facility it will be in the future. This is about a five minute listen.
