Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
So
for
for
Monday
night,
it's
actually
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
fairly
quiet
meeting
at
this
point,
I,
don't
know
you
got
the
minutes
for
the
December
3rd
and
December
17th
meetings,
so
they
emailed
this
afternoon.
So
if
you
can
look
those
over
and
if
there
are
no
problems,
I'd
like
to
move
those
on
Monday,
but
you
did
get
those
so.
A
On
the
local
laws,
so
local
law
aid
by
mr.
hoeing
is
an
introduction
amending
the
well.
It
relates
to
minutes
of
meetings
by
public
bodies.
The
intent
is
to
require
that
public
bodies
that
are
required
to
keep
minutes
establish
procedures
for
keeping
and
publishing
them,
and
also
that
they
be
placed
on
the
city
website.
So
this
is
basically
established
some
standards
which
they
are
technically
already
just.
B
A
In
their
bylaws,
it's
covered
under
the
public
office,
just
walk
okay,
so
it
just
reinforces
and
also
adds
the
additional
provision
regarding
of
posting
on
the
website
and
that
they
have
procedures
in
place
that
we
have
had
some
issues
with
some
public
bodies
that
has
not
been
do
we
met
and
I
know.
Tom
you
had
an
amendment
or
I.
D
B
A
B
A
What
it
would,
what
it
would
claw
I
haven't
seen
like
what
it
would
include
is
its
provision
that
minutes
where
there
is
a
where
public
body
it's
either
a
public
hearing,
or
they
take
public
comment
that
the
minutes
should
reflect.
Remember
the
name
we
were
the
members
of
the
Republic
of
the
Republic
of
Sarek,
of
the
public
who
spoke
and
what
position
they
may
have
taken,
which
is
what
our
minutes.

He
says
you
shouldn't
look
at
it
from
the
standpoint
that
conversation
with
money,
we
shouldn't
be
looking
at
it,
a
one-for-one
okay,
if
you
form
you
never
million
dollars
your
testers
and
even
take
into
consideration
standings
from
the
streetlights,
they
shouldn't
be
automatically
that's
them
excel
in
tax
increased.
You
can
look
at
revenue,
then
we
start
having
a
conversation
about
four.
G
D
G
G
G
G
A
Needs
to
be
done
on
what
we're
doing
with
the
waste
collection
fee
etcetera.
We
should
have
begin
having
that
discussion.
That's
for
October
1
when
they
submit
the
budget
and
they
probably
won't
even
submit
it
to
us
on
October
1,
but
that's
the
type
of
conversation
where
you
need
to
have
a
deeper
discussion
in
advance
of
what
they
proposed
in
the
budget
of
the
book
and
not
give
us
something
like
a
fait
accompli.
I
think.
H
Let's
but
the
long,
the
short
ribs
time
is
of
the
essence.
The
treasure
needs
to
negotiate
the
higher
earnings
credit
rating
of
the
back.
The
bank
is
preventing
us
from
maximizing
our
interest,
and
so,
if
you
borrow
money,
have
certain
interest
rate,
we
know
interest
rates
are
going
up
throughout
the
year.
We
can
take
that
money.
We
can
invest
in
the
Treasuries
and
have
enrolled
in
Treasuries
to
spend
them,
and
you
will
be
pretty
much
almost
offset
you're
vibrating
to
a
certain
to
that
after
a
certain
point
in
time,
but
I
understand
their
point.
B
D
H
H
G
H
H
No
I
agree
with
your
questions.
Don't
get
me
wrong.
I
think
that
it
wasn't
for
the
compounds
to
test
and
questions.
I
will
keep
saying,
but
it
should
be
asking
these
questions
and
I
have
been
told
that
I'm
wasting
people's
time
with
these
audits,
so
I
don't
want
them
in
because
they're
several
problems
we
have
and
they're.
H
G
A
G
G
I
G
B
G
G
E
A
So
in
terms
of
the
ordinances
I,
don't
know
that
war
I
mean
we
probably
would
not
have
anything
for
tomorrow.
This
quickly
note,
the
planning
clinic
needs
meaning
they're,
doing
that
the
methadone
ordinance
on
January
night,
but
that
will
be
for
the
seven
did
they
get
amendments
on
that
yet
or
were
they
supposed
to
be.
F
F
F
A
They
haven't
given
us,
they
really
mean
I
mean
you're,
putting
something
on
a
public
agenda
with
amendments
and
the
events
are
not
available
for
the
public,
so
it
does
require
public
hearing
also.
So
we
can't
you
know,
remember
all
of
the
narrative
all
the
zoning
amendments.
All
the
text
changes
your
sign
ordinance.
They
won't
require
public
hearings
and
they
also
I
think
the
standards
were
approval.
If
I'm
looking
at
the
US
do
a
little
bit
more
does
requires
that
the
council
has
to
also
make
findings
with
regard
to
the
actions
that
they
take.
A
So
it's
not
just
a
simple
like
in
the
old
days.
You
just
pass
something
and
that's
it
so
there's
your
different
standards.
Now
we
haven't
done
any
zoning
amendments
since
the
IPO
was
adopted,
so
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
be
it's
you
I'm
not
sure,
because
we
got
done
that
yet
I
don't
know
if
Planning
Department
knows
I
on
this
last
year
was
really
frustrating
because
they
didn't
know
a
lot.
A
There
are
there's
specific
standards
in
terms
of
the
actions
that
the
council
can
pay
for,
and
findings
that
needs
to
be
made.
So
you
need
to
look
at
that
section
of
the
u.s.
do
that
relates
to
that
it's
sort
of
similar
to
what
the
Planning
Board
is
supposed
to
do
when
they
adopt
something
where
they
have.
It
I
think
I'm
not
sure,
because
we've
not
done
this
before
and
there's
no
clear
direction
from
anybody
on
it,
but
there
are
different
standards.
There.
G
A
Well,
it
could
be,
but
maybe
alright
I,
don't
all
just
well.
It's
on
my
mind
just
note
that
the
revision
the
u.s.
do
revisions
are
on
the
Planning
Department
website.
Also
on.
There
is
a
memo
from
Brad,
which
is
several
pages
I,
don't
know
if
it's
19
to
20
pages
that
outlines-
or
it's
meant
to
outline
the
revisions,
so
the
Planning
Board
I
think
was
going
to
begin
discussing
this
in
January.
A
Right,
there's
nothing
published
yet,
but
that
aside
the
document
itself,
if
you
go
to
the
the
case
file
section,
its
rights
pinned
right
to
the
top
and
when
you
go
in
in
terms
of
the
documents
there
also
is
that
memo
there
are
the
track,
change
document,
the
clean
copy
document
and
also
the
memo
from
Brad,
which
outlines
it's
meant
to
outline
the
change
in
the
summer
et
cetera.
So
that
is
all
there
and
I
would
you
know
recommend
that
people
get
started.
C
A
F
G
G
F
A
F
A
They
don't
because
the
the
recommended-
yes,
because
the
actual
recommendation
also
includes
the
findings
from
the
Planning
Board
and
we
we
are
supposed
to
get
the
actual
recommendation
from
the
Planning
Board.
It's
not.
We
don't
have
to
go
to
the
website
and
try
to
figure
out
what
they
did.
So
it's
it's
all
it's
just
process
and
procedure.
Maybe
you
know,
but
it's
important
and
they
need
to
follow
up.
C
A
F
A
F
A
C
F
B
A
B
A
What
they
do
now,
since
they
publish
their
meeting
schedule
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
so
that
actually
takes
care
of
the
requirements
of
the
open
meetings
law,
except
if
they're
holding
a
public
hearing
on
something
that
there's
time
requirements
specific
there.
Sometimes
there
and
their
agendas
are.
You
know,
yeah.
A
For
example,
the
agenda
today,
none
of
the
agendas
for
the
January
meeting
are
up
here,
but
they
have
the
workshop
and
then
the
January
meeting
is
later
they
do
and
I
think
we
do
get
I
get.
You
know
the
an
email
from
the
various
boards
that
they
send
out
with
the
agenda.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
automatically
goes
to
all
council
members
or
if
you,
because
anyone
could
be
on
that
email
list,
etc
to
get
that
I'm,
not
sure
how
far
in
advance
they
said.
That's
the
specific
agenda
for
that
particular
meeting.
A
A
A
F
F
A
F
C
G
F
A
A
C
B
D
G
A
A
A
A
E
B
C
F
D
D
C
D
A
So
is
there
a
consensus
on
during
an
early
call
or
all
your
caucus
in
6:30?
Yes,
should
do
you
want
to
do
it
at
six
o'clock?
Yes,
six
o'clock,
okay
with
folks.
Okay,
then
we'll
just
need
to
do
a
post,
a
notice
or
that
that
caucus
would
be
at
six
o'clock.
Even
though
we
plan
to
go
into
executive
session,
but
we'll
do
our
agenda
first
and
then
go
into
executives.
Okay,.
F
G
F
I
A
F
F
A
F
A
The
state
minimum
wage
upstate
well
13's,
upstate
new
one,
it's
twelve.
It's.
B
A
B
D
A
The
living
wage
shall
be
calculated
on
an
hourly
basis
is
paying
ten
twenty
five
covered
employees.
If
the
employer
provides
at
least
70
percent
of
the
cost
of
health
care
benefits
and
1191
for
other
covered
employees,
and
then
the
amounted
living
wage
shall
be
increased
annually
to
reflect
inflation,
as
captured
by
the
the
CPI
urban.
F
A
And
I
don't
know
if
that
there
should
be
some
provision
where
that
update
is
published,
that
people
know
what
it
is
and
I
never
never
yeah,
and
then
there
was
the
compliance
committee
which
right
now
I
mean
the
last
time
Kathy
chairs
it
that
was
appointed
back
in
2001.
There
was
a
knowable
one
that
just
dead
never
met,
and
then
there
was
a
new
one
and
I'm
not
sure.
If
the
same
people
are
still
on
it
or
not,
I
mean
it
was
you
Corey
Hogan's.
It
was.
