A
Hello:
okay:
it's
been
moved
by
commissioner
Risley
and
secondly
by
commissioner
Ballas.
I
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
service
to
the
office
on
the
aging,
and
we
invite
you
up
and
make
sure
the
Commissioners
will
have
something
to
say.
J
C
K
You
very
much
it's
been
my
honor
and
pleasure
for
the
last
five
years
to
be
the
liaison
from
this
board
to
the
senior
citizen
advisory
Council.
K
This
organization
and
the
the
department
offers
so
much
to
our
seniors
in
Atlantic
County,
from
lunch
programs
at
the
nutritional
sites
to
visiting
people
who
are
homebound,
helping
people
figure
out
what
prescriptions
they
need,
how
to
get
health
insurance.
It's
amazing
all
of
the
things
that
they
do,
I,
don't
think
you
get
enough
AirPlay
you
need
to
yeah.
We
do
a
wonderful,
wonderful
job
and-
and
it
really
is
my
pleasure
to
work
with
you
guys
and.
A
B
B
I
just
want
to
Echo
what
commissioner,
as
Patrick
said,
Mr
Kern
has
said
you
guys
do
a
great
job,
wonderful
job,
we've
been
doing
it
a
long
time
and
just
keep
up
the
good
work
right.
Thank
you
for
the
pleasure.
L
It's
going
back
a
few
years
now,
when
my
mom
came
down
with
dementia
and
I
got
the
assistance
through
your
office,
we
had
to
put
her
in
assisted
living
and
the
going
through
the
Medicaid
or
Medicare
process,
and
you
guys
were
extremely
extremely
helpful.
I,
don't
think
we
could
have
did
it
without
you
and
I
mean
she
since
passed
on.
L
But
you
know,
the
assistance
that
you
guys
gave
to
our
family
is
much
appreciated
throughout
our
whole
family
and
I,
don't
know
if
we
would
have
been
able
to
get
her
into
the
assisted
care.
If
it
wasn't
for
your
office,
then
can
we
thank
you
for
that,
and
congratulations
I
mean
you've
been
doing
this
for
50.?
Well,
not
you,
but
the
office
has
been
doing
this
for
50
years,
which
is
awesome
and
it's
a
great
service
to
the
residents
of
Atlanta
County.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
You
congratulations.
Thank
you
well
hold
on
one
moment
and
the
other
products
around
commissioners.
M
Yeah,
just
a
quick
echo
of
the
comments
commissioner
ballast
made.
We
had
the
same
experience
as
well
with
my
grandparents
and
also
just
want
to
mention
I
I,
think
the
the
office
has
been
creative
and
seeking
out
new
grant
opportunities
and
new
funding
opportunities
in
the
recent
years
and
always
very
open
to
feedback,
and
you
know
understanding
challenges
that
our
residents
are
going
through
as
they
navigate.
M
You
know
the
some
of
the
services
they
need
for
their
parents
or
their
grandparents,
and
always
willing
to
listen
to
that
and
try
to
make
improvements
to
that
process.
So
just
want
to
recognize
that
and
say.
Thank
you
again.
A
C
H
A
Second,
okay:
we
have
move
by
commissioner
corsey
and
seconded
by
commissioner
Ballas.
Well
now
welcome
Mr
Kelly
for
an
interview.
J
E
N
L
Chair
I've,
known
Mike
Kelly,
our
future
warden
for
many
years
now
observed
his
work
at
the
jail
not
only
as
a
police
officer,
but
also
a
sheriff
worked
along
with
with
Michael
on
several
projects,
and
you
know,
Mike
is,
has
been
doing
a
great
job
out.
There
he's
been
making
quite
a
few
wardens
before
him.
L
Look
very,
very
good
and
expect
very
good
things
from
Mike
I
think
he's
going
to
do
a
phenomenal
job
and
I
I
wouldn't
want
anybody
other
than
like
telling
me
in
the
warden
right
now.
Thank.
B
You
thank
you.
Thank
you,
commissioner,
commissioner.
Thank
you.
We
had
a
great
meeting
with
the
committee
out
there
with
the
jail,
and
we
are
thinking
was
very,
very
good.
A
lot.
A
lot
of
things
came
from
that
I
believe
and
I
just
like
to
convey
to
you
that
we're
with
you,
we
support
you.
We
look
to
you
for
your
input
and
don't
be
bashful
about
it.
Let
us
know
if
we
need
something.
If
we
need
to
do
something,
it's
something.
H
B
M
Yeah
I'm
just
wondering
if
Mr
Kelly
can
maybe
share
with
us
some
of
his
vision
or
goals
for
taking
the
help.
Q
Well
right
now,
my
number
one
priority
is
is
to
we're
currently
down
about
19
officers
and
we're
working
very
diligently
with
the
new
legislation
that
was
signed
by
the
governor
that
we
can
hire
outside
the
civil
service
test
temporarily
until
you
pass
the
academy
and
become
Civil
Service
permanent,
where
we
get
a
lot
of
feedback
on
that
the
service
entry
tests
would
come
up
once
every
three,
sometimes
four
years,
and
that
just
wasn't
enough
for
us
a
lot
of
the
county
jail
Statewide
to
fulfill
the
vacancies.
Q
A
lot
of
people
come
to
Corrections
they'll
stay
a
year
or
two
they'll
move
on
to
a
police
department
or
or
you
realize
it's
not
for
them.
So
we
do
have
some
turnover
in
the
first
couple
years
so
right
now,
my
main
focus
is
to
get
the
Staffing
level
where
it
needs
to
be,
and
so
we
can
continue
to
keep
the
community
safe
from
the
facility.
That's
like
what
my
priority
goal
right
now:
I've
been
part
of
the
ministry
I've
been
there
23
years.
Q
For
those
who
don't
know,
I've
worked
diligently
with
the
last
four
or
five
Awards
in
administration,
so
carrying
out
their
Vision,
which
was
my
vision
too.
To
keep
the
place.
Q
You
know
main
treatment
for
inmates
cleaning
meeting
all
the
doc
standards,
expanding
our
our
treatment
for
for
all
inmates
for
Medicaid,
assisted
treatment,
mental
health
treatment
and
that's
a
big
priority
for
us,
and
you
know
we
were
one
of
the
first
in
the
in
the
state
to
offer
medication
treatment,
which
has
helped
us
out
greatly
and
keeping
those
programs
going.
So
that
and
the
Staffing
right
now
is
my
my
top
priority,
for
you
know:
taking
control
of
the
jail.
G
Chair,
yes,
commissioner,
Martino,
that's
more
of
a
statement:
I
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
with
Mike
when
I
was
on
the
jail
committee
a
few
years
ago.
He
was
always
extremely
confident
came
to
the
meetings
well
prepared.
I
know
he
has
the
best
interests
of
not
only
the
people
that
are
intern
there,
that
are
that
are
serving
their
time,
but
also
the
staff.
So
I
look
forward
to
him
doing
a
fantastic
job.
A
A
E
R

promise
to
uphold
the
standards,

the

by

any

same
hearing,
none
anything
from
the
public
parole
call.
J
C
L
Mouse
yeah
I
mean
I
I,
know
only
one
person,
one
company,
which
is
the
one
we're
giving
this
to
bid
on
this,
but
you
know
with
all
the
body
shops
in
this
County
that
can
handle
heavy
duty
Vehicles.
It's
just
surprising
that
that
we're
not
having
people
from
this
County
bid.
You
know
and
who
knows
what
the
expense
is
going
to
be
driving
the
vehicle
from
here
to
this
is
Gloucester.
L
S
A
I
got
a
number
of
years
ago.
We
had
a
lot
of
the
owners
of
these
businesses
to
come
in
and
talk
about.
You
know,
shortage
of
Labor
that
people
just
aren't
getting
into
that
type
of
business.
So
we're
hoping
that
you
know
some
of
the
schools
are
starting,
that
back
up
I
think
it
was
going
to
help
them,
but
yeah
we
had
quite
a
few.
We
had
quite
a
few
of
them,
yeah
right
so
I
don't
know
if
that
had
something
to
do
with
it.
So.
S
A
S
Our
purchasing
agent
has
done
that
in
advance.
Yes,
I,
don't
know
if
she's
done
it
on
this
particular
group,
but
she's
done
that
in
the
past
you
know
and
she
gets
the
the
I
guess,
the
long
series
of
of
answers.
You
know
they
weren't
interested
this
time.
They
you
know
they
they
forgot
to
to
look.
They
didn't
open
their
emails
because
you
know
you
register
now
on
our
portal.
You
get
these
specs
automatically.
If
that
means
you
got
to
read
them,
you
know
so,
there's
there's
a
all
the
answers.
E
S
U
A
good
evening,
everybody
commissioner
Ballas,
is
correct.
There
is
such
an
abundance
of
work
out
there
in
the
body
shops
that
are
keeping
these
guys
busy,
but
this
particular
part
of
the
resolution
is,
as
he
was
correct
for
heavy
duty,
so
we
are
sort
of
restricted
in
the
capabilities.
U
So
if
you
wanted
to
take
your
car
to
any
one
of
these
dozen
body
shops
that
are
around
in
the
area,
you're
a
personal
car
in
any
one
of
our
County
vehicles
would
certainly
fit
when
you
start
talking
about
a
box
truck
a
dump
truck,
or
you
know
something
heavy
duty.
The
size
is
certainly
a
restricting
Factor,
so
there
may
be
several
body
shops
out
there,
but
there
are
very
few
that
are
physically
capable
of
handling
the
size
vehicle
to
this
portion
of
the
contract.
U
A
J
J
A
H
E
B
A
H
V
V
A
A
M
Yeah
I
can't
remember,
was
Jerry.
Was
this
the
first
road
project
that
we
had
we
had
given
to
bird
dog
Paving.
S
M
How
they
were
performing
as
a
vendor
I
mean
certainly
the
the
decrease
to
commissioner
corsey's
point
is
a
good
thing,
just
wondering
if
we
had
any
other
feedback
on
them
as
a
new
vendor.
Well,.
S
Doug
would
hear
that
better
than
not
than
I
would
I.
I
would
tell
you
that
from
John
and
Mark
I
heard
that
they
did
a
pretty
good
job
and
I
thought
they
had
one
other
Road
and
more.
You
know
Doug
is
on
so
he
probably
hears
more
the
Gory
details
every
day,
so.
T
You
know
I,
actually,
I
think
this
might
be
our
first
contract
with
them,
I'm,
not
sure
if
they've
done
any
work
for
facilities.
As
far
as
you
know,
parking
lots
or
anything
like
that,
but
I
believe
this
was
our
first
one
with
them.
T
S
Should
you
ask
whether
or
not
you
had
another
job?
Obviously
I
know
that
they
did
it.
So
if
Chris
is
here
too,
you
think
what
did
they
do
for
us
just
right
out
here
to
show
a
view
parking
lot?
That's.
N
Right,
the
famous
one
that
was
bird
dog
paper,
we're
okay,.
S
P
A
A
A
Yes,
Russian
carries
thanks
to
Lisa's
with
resolution

Well,
you
know
lease
agreement
with
career
opportunity,
development
Incorporated
to
operate
a
coffee
shop
at
the
Atlantic.
C
A
L
Voucher,
that's
just
a
just
a
great
comment:
I
I've
had
many
occasions
as
Sheriff
to
you
know
both
in
Atlantic
City
and
at
the
complex
in
Mays
Landing,
to
deal
with
this
kitchen
that
they
have
the
little
coffee
shop
and
it's
just
a
wonderful
thing
that
they're
able
to
put
the
people
their
their
clients,
basically
to
work
in
there
and
they're
so
dedicated
to
do
a
great
job.
L
You
know
there's
no
price,
gouging
and
stuff
like
that.
You
know
you're,
not
bringing
some
other
vendor
in
there.
That's
just
trying
to
you
know,
make
a
fortune
office
they're
just
trying
to
to
job
train
their
clients,
bring
them
in,
and
you
know,
they're
friendly.
They
do
a
great
job.
So
this
is
a
great
great
opportunity.
A
great
partnership.
A
With
the
county
and
coding,
thank
you,
commissioner
yeah,
especially
for
your
insighted
to
that,
because
not
everybody
does
see
yeah.
So
that's
thank
you
for
that.
Any
other
comments
from
the
commissioners.
Anything
from
the
public.

by

Sorry,
you.
K
Yes,
I
had
read
in
the
Sentinel
newspaper
that
Summers
Point
approved
this
and
the
county
was
partnering
with
them
and
I
thought
you
know
so.
I
didn't
remember
doing
that.
So.
K
I
talked
to
Jerry
and
he
said
that
it
would
be
on
our
agenda
today
and
it's
really
a
good
thing,
because
the
traffic
at
Ocean,
Heights
and
Shore
Road
is
terrible.
I've
seen
this
summer,
the
the
backup
all
the
way
to
the
bike
path,
it's
impossible
to
get
out
there
and
it's
very
dangerous.
So
this
is
a
welcome
Improvement.
E
S
T
T
I
do
not
believe
that's
been
done
yet.
I
will
talk
to
our
traffic
guys
tomorrow.
I
can
see
when,
when
we're
scheduled
for
that,
okay.
C
A
J
P
A
K
Crops
is
a
wonderful
organization
that
has,
for
the
last
few
years,
started
gardening
and
providing
food
markets,
farmers
markets
in
marginalized
communities
to
help
with
the
food
deserts
that
exist
in
the
county
and
help
families
have
more
nutritious
meals
available
to
them.
It's
a
really
good
organization,
I'm,
really
happy
to
see
that
we're
helping
them
out.
A
W
My
name
is
Kathleen
space
and
I
live
in
Linwood
I
I'm,
very
interested
in
this
resolution.
From
the
standpoint
of
when
I
read
it,
it
says
that
it's
going
to
be
disposed
of.
It's
a
2003,
Ford
E350
van.
It
does
have
a
Kelly
book,
Black
Book
value.
W
S
The
Way
We
The
Way
We
handle
those
big,
which
is
this
thing
was
taken
off
the
road
by
the
county.
We
were
not
using
it
and
we
made
a
decision
to
under
on
the
law,
give
it
to
this
organization
that
they
provide
food.
So
this
was
a.
This
is
a
way
that
the
county
could
assist
that
that
particular
organizations
provide
food
to
the
communities
that
they're
serving
present.
If
we
didn't
go
back
in
our
guys,
you
know
look
it
wasn't
today
with
that
thing,
really
wasn't
that
high?
That's
that's!
Why
we're
giving
it
to
them.
S
Have
to
we're
giving
to
him,
as
is
which
means
they're
going
to
have
to
go
in
and
do
some
work
with
the
vehicle.
So
those
are
the
conditions
under
which
we're
donating.
W
So
I
appreciate
the
concept
of
crops,
it's
a
very
good
non-profit
organization
and
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
why
for
this
organization-
and
will
this
happen
with
other
organizations
that
when
we
have
a
surplus
item
that
we
need
to
dispose
of?
Why
didn't
we
send
it
to
auction
and
try
to
see
if
we
could
get
money
for
it
to
bring
the
money
back
to
the
taxpayers
in
Atlantic
County.
S
We
do
that
we
do
we
do
with
the
Eagles.
There
was
a.
They
were
actually
two
vehicles
that
we
looked
at.
This
was
the
the
other
day
who
was
I
had
more
miles,
was
over
a
hundred
thousand
miles,
I.
S
One
had
over
a
hundred
thousand
as
well,
and
the
other
vehicle
is
obviously
going
to
go
into
auction
as
there's
there's
a
number.
So
so
there's
a
number
of
those
vehicles
that
are
out
there
that
are
going
to
go
into
auction.
We
grab
this
one
because
they
thought
this
one
could
at
least
be
utilized
to
get
a
little
bit
of
work,
jump.
E
S
We
have
other
vehicles
that
go
to
like
as
an
example,
municipalities,
you've
donated
some
Vehicles,
a
more
recent
conditions,
obviously
as
well
so
again,
they're
well
over
a
hundred
thousand
miles,
the
the
participants
agree
to
put
the
money
into
actually
utilize
the
vehicle,
so
they're
going
to
they're
going
to
be
on
a
cost,
and
so
I
guess
we're
looking
not
to
hurt
them
in
any
way
by
having
them
to
pay
what
we
would
go
into
auction
as
well
as
and
have
to
put
the
money
in
to
get
the
to
get
them.
M
Yes,
who
are
you
to
Jerry
Jerry,
just
just
to
kind
of
expand
upon
the
process
for
information
for
the
public,
so
in
general
we
tend
to
get
requests
in
writing
from
numerous
organizations,
including
municipalities,
as
you
just
mentioned,
right,
yes,
and
we
kind
of
keep
them
in
the
wings
for
when
potentially
a
vehicle
that
might
fit,
the
request
does
become
available
and
what
we
do
is
kind
of
a
assessment
of
is
that
organization
or
the
requester,
providing
a
public
good
right,
some
kind
of
a
service
to
the
public,
good
of
our
taxpayers
and.
S
M
Right
and
that
that's
what
I
was
just
trying
to
from
a
process
perspective,
there
is
some.
There
is
a
rubric
right
to
decide
that
I.
Think
commissioner
Fitzpatrick
highlighted
some
of
the
items
that
have
the
crops
organization
meeting
some
of
that
of
that
rubric
right
and
then
that's
how
we
determine
if
we
have
the
opportunity
to
donate
it
or
if
we
put
it
out
to
auction
it's
it's.
As
you
mentioned,
what
we
just
did
with
several
service
vehicles,
to
Emergency
Response
organizations
and
in
various
municipalities.
M
That's
how
the
whole
one
vehicle
was
born
right,
right,
I,
just
I,
don't
know
in
this
space.
If
that
helps
from
a
just
an
overall
process
perspective
to
understand
how
that
all
works.
W
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Gatto
I
appreciate
that
and
it
does
help
I
just
didn't
completely
understand
the
process,
and
thank
you
for
mentioning
that.
You
checked
the
organization
and
you
I
would
hope
you
would
vet
the
organization
and
make
sure
that
the
organization
matches
what
we
want
to
do
on
a
county
level
as
far
as
donating
the
vehicle,
because,
yes
I,
do
understand
that
it
probably
needs
a
fair
amount
of
work
and
it
has
over
a
hundred
thousand
miles
on
it.
W
And
it
is
you
know,
of
an
age
I,
think
of
what
19
years
old.
So
it's
probably
not
going
to
be
the
most
perfect
vehicle
in
the
world
and
I
it
that
we're
trying
to
help
this
organization.
Our
web
as
well
and
I,
just
didn't,
understand
the
vetting
process
and
I
appreciate
you
clarifying
it
for
me,
I
appreciate
it
very
much.
Okay,.
A
O
A
C
A
J
A
D
Chair,
yes,
if
I
may,
before
the
vote,
I'm,
not
gonna,
let
this
opportunity
I
think
most
of
us
will
not.
We
can't
commend
our
clerk
enough
for
the
outstanding
job
she
does
for
all
of
us.
She
makes
us
all
look
good,
I
know
damn.
Well,
we
get
on
her
nerves.
What
you
do
send
me
again,
especially
me:
I,
can't
speak
for
y'all
resend,
it
I
didn't
get
it
all
that
kind
of
stuff
her
and
her
staff
has
done
an
outstanding
job.
D
Make
all
of
us
look
good
and
getting
back
to
our
constituent
is
a
number
one
job,
and
you
know
sometime
when
folks
call
here,
you
don't
want
to
hear
the
drama,
but
they
she
runs
a
tight
ship
and
she
does
an
outstanding
job
and
it
could
not
have
happened
for
a
better
person
to
Sonya
I
didn't
want
to
put
you
on
spot
three
more
years.
Give
you
55
years
with
the
county.
No.
K
D
A
Definitely
keeps
us
all
her
checks
and
balances
are
greatly
appreciated.
Any
other
comments
for
the
commissioners,
hey
I,
think
from
the
public.
Hey
we'll,
have
a
roll.
J
D
C
A
F
Madam,
chair
Clark,
cultural
and
Heritage
Advisory
Board.
We
had
our
meeting
that
I
announced
at
the
last
meeting
the
web
at
the
webinar.
The
workshop
on
the
grants,
218
000
grants
for
non-profit
organization,
support
culture
or
arts
or
history
tomorrow
will
be
the
second
proportion
for
history.
F
We
did
arts
on
the
28th
of
August
I
believe
it
was
on
September
7th
tomorrow,
6
p.m,
at
43rd,
Avenue
at
the
Mays
Landing
Library
will
be
at
this
second
workshop
for
anyone,
who's
non-profits
that
are
interested
in
receiving
grants,
putting
on
historical
events
or
doing
some
sort
of
historical
reenactment
or
just.
F
Grants
for
that
purpose
so
they're
very
similar
grants.
We
had
the
one
on
the
28th
for
arts
and
this
one's
going
to
be
for
history
can.
B
F
6
pm
I
went
to
the
first
session.
I
saw
some
very
friendly
faces
in
that
session
for
arts,
and
so
it's
it's
we've
been
funded
at
the
highest
level.
That
I
think
that
that
we've
been
funded
at
218
000
from
the
state,
so
there's
money
there
for
any
non-profit
organizations.
You
know
and
I
know
that
we've
given
out
some
pretty
decent
grants
in
the
last
cycle,
there
was
five
thousand
dollar
grants.
Ten
thousand
dollar
grants
no
of
any
non-profit
organizations
that
are
out
there
tomorrow
at
six
o'clock,
at
the
maze
landing
library.
L
Manager,
yes,
so
on
the
30th
at
the
American
Legion
in
Somers,
Point
we've,
the
veterans
subcommittee,
the
veterans,
Advisory
Board
met
with
representatives
of
federal
and
state
elected
officials
and
the
general
contractor
for
the
new
Clinic
going
here
in
Northfield,
the
veterans
clinic.
L
They
of
course
they
always
wait
until
the
last
day
of
the
allowable
to
them,
and
then
they
came
back
with
a
bunch
of
conditions
as
far
as
storm
water
management
and
some
some
of
yourself
they
put
in
there
and
how
many
trees
you
got
to
put
over
this
and
that
and
everything
and
they're
also
still
waiting
on
the
DOT
permit
and,
of
course,
they're,
which
shouldn't
be
a
a
big
heavy
limit,
something
from
the
Department
of
Health,
some
kind
of
permit
for
the
MRI
that
they're
going
to
have
in
there.
L
But
the
state
representatives
are
very
much
going
to
work
along
and
try
and
get
these
these
permits
sealed
up
as
quickly
as
possible.
So
they
can
start
construction
of
that
new
Clinic,
which
is
very
much
needed.
We're
also
looking
to
have
another
meeting
with
them
and
the
Secretary
of
of
defense
for
veterans
and
the
the
head
of
I
guess
Vince
the
head
of
the
clinic
in
well.
It's
basically
this
whole
area,
so
you
know,
hopefully
that
meeting
will
occur
and,
of
course
they
said
they.
L
They
can't
do
it
prior
to
the
election
in
November,
but
after
that,
hopefully,
between
election
day
and
the
end
of
the
year,
we'll
be
able
to
secure
a
meeting
with
retire
officials
to
try
and
get
some
of
the
services
that
are
needed
here
in
Northfield
and
which
will
be
in
the
new
Clinic.
Instead
of
you
know
some
of
these
veterans
that
have
to
either
get
on
a
bus
or
or
be
taken,
you
know
down
to
Delaware
or
to
Pennsylvania
and
be
treated
when
I
was
right
here
in
our
backyard.
L
A
E
A
Commissioner,
of
course,
we
had
a
meeting
with
the
shared
services
right
yeah.
We
did
not
well.
We
talked
to
the
person
updating
us
on
shared
services.
A
That
municipalities
are
getting
into
the
one
in
EHT,
with
the
Board
of
Ed
and
EHT
kind
of
stood
out
with
me,
because
that
was
a
shared
service
that
they
end
up,
doing,
which
was
lighting
one
of
their
football
fields.
We
had
Fields
out
there.
E
A
They
were
able
to
get
a
leap
graph,
yeah
from
that
and
Tim
has
actually
reached
when
he
sees
some
of
these
things.
He
reaches
out
to
the
municipality
and
said
you
know
you
could
do
this
this
and
this
and
get
a
grant,
sometimes
it's
even
after
the
fact
exactly
correct.
So
even
if
they've
done
it,
if
it's
something
more,
they
could
have
asked
for
early
Grant
more,
you
know,
did
weren't
aware
of
that,
so
he's
been
able
to
do
it
after
the
fact.
E
A
But
there
was
a
number
of
things
on
there
and
I
found
it
very
interesting
how
he's
getting
out
to
the
community.
Some
of
them
don't
get
back
on
a
few
of
them.
The
gas
is
now
Pleasantville.
Is
you
know
with
shared
services,
and
their
proximity
makes
sense
for
that.
Not
everybody's
proximity
is
going
to
make
sense
for
that.
But
you
know
it's
we've
done
well
and
I.
All
that
is
being
shared.
A
Has
that
gone
out
yet
to
the
rest
of
the,
but
that
will
be
his
referrals
are
going
out
to
the
rest
of
the
Court
as
well.
That
was
because
it
was
just
on
Friday
better
here
to
that
point.
I
know
that
I.
F
Spoke
to
Tim
and
I
plan
on
having
more
conversation.
I
also
spoke
to
Donald
who's,
the
administrator
at
Egg,
Harbor
Township.
There's
for
those
who
don't
know
the
project
over
McKee
city
has
begun
the
key
city
betterment
park
that
Egg
Harbor
Township
is
renovating
and
memorializing
the
history
of
of
Colonel
McKee
that
has
begun,
and
so,
if
you
drive
out
there,
they've
already
cleared
the
land
of
a
good
majority
of
the
land.
They've
already
began
to
put
the
paving
down
for
the
pickleball
court
and
also
renovate
the
basketball
court.
F
In
terms
of
because,
as
I
told
you
we
have
Jim
Sheridan
has
a
lot
of
the
history
from
Colonel
McKee
that
she's
in
in
possession
of
so
I,
don't
know,
even
if
we
can
get
a
grant
to
come
up
with
the
casings
for
it,
how
to
how's
these
things,
to
put
it
into
that
project,
so
that
when
folks
go
over
to
that
to
the
McKee
City
betterment
from
now
on,
they
can
see
his
living
will,
and
you
know,
documents
of
that
nature,
so
I
that
those
kind
of
kind
of
conversations
are
are
being
had
right
now.
A
The
best
thing
we
want
to
do:
okay,
I'm
sure,
yes,.
E
B
Ongoing
progress
that
Tim
is
making
regarding
centralized
fire
and
emergency
service,
dispatching
very
happy
to
hear
about
that.
For
many
many
many
years,
I've
Heard
lots
of
comments
and
complaints
from
volunteer
firemen
paid
firemen
over
the
years,
but
the
centralized
dispatch.
As
you
know,
we
tried
to
build
a
facility
years
ago
and
of
course,
I
met
with
the
didn't.
Have
the
support
didn't
have
the
necessary
support
in
the
local
cities,
but
I
think
Tim
is
moving
in
the
right
direction,
I
hope
to
see
what's
coming
to
fruition
and.
C
A
Right:
okay,
any
other
special
things.
A
M
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you,
and
some
of
my
other
fellow
Commissioners,
for
covering
some
of
my
subcommittees
are
being
flexible
last
week.
I
think,
as
everybody
knows,
that
we
had
a
death
in
the
family,
so
just
just
appreciate
everybody
covering
absolutely.
A
What
we
did?
Okay,
any
unfinished
business
you're,
not
any
new
business.
K
So
on
August
25th
there
was
a
meeting
at
the
courthouse
in
Mays
Landing
and
commissioner
Risley
and
Dallas
and
I
attended,
and
it
was
to
present
to
the
public
the
idea
of
having
a
very
highly
trained
dog
and
her
officer
patrolling
schools.
Of
course,
it
wouldn't
be
the
same
dog
that
dog
is
working
in
Cumberland
County
and
it's
just
a
program
that
is
being.
K
Presented
to
the
county
and
schools
in
the
county
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
have
received
numerous
messages,
saying
that
this
is
not
a
slam.
Dunk,
not
everybody,
agrees
with
it
and
we
even
got
an
email
that
said
and
I
I'm
sure
this
is
a
leap,
but
it
says,
and
it's
from
Judge
Sanson
so
anyway,
he
says
I'm
advised
by
the
county
executive
that
the
county
will
be
happy
to
assist
those
who
would
like
a
dog
to
provide
an
extra
layer
of
protection.
K
He
has
advised
me
that
that
the
county
will
cover
the
cost
of
acquiring
and
training
the
dogs
at
our
Canine
Academy,
and
that
will
have
to
come
before
this
board
right
before
we
spend
any
money
just
want
to
say
that
there
are
other
thoughts
out
there.
Besides,
what
was
presented?
Not
everybody
is
in
agreement.
It
is
not
unanimous.
D
D
K
Not
in
favor
of
the
dogs
in
the
school
because
it
militarizes
the
public
school
experience
and
makes
they
it's
it's
uncomfortable
and
well.
K
D
K
We
had
heard
that
19
districts
said
no,
and
this
one
Cumberland
County
technical
school
said
yes,
I'd
like
to
hear
from
one
or
two
of
the
ones
who
said
no.
You
know
why.
D
H
F
Madam
chair
through
you
to
youth
Commissioner,
of
course,
I've
also
heard
some
folks
that
are
saying
they
don't
want.
The
dogs
in
school
as
well
I,
know
the
Union's
going
to
want
to
have
a
say
in
this
as
well.
So
if
you,
if.
E
F
D
F
B
It
was
very
impressive,
extremely
well
done
extremely
well,
a
lot
of
information,
I'm
sold
on
know
to
me
to
me
it's
a
no-brainer.
B
They
went
on
to
explain
that
this
particular
dog
is
not
there
to
sniff
out
drugs
and
other
things.
This
particular
type
of
dog
training
has
to
do
with
guns,
shots
fired
and
the
dog
is
trained
to
go
after
the
gun
and
I
learned
a
couple
things
like
you
know:
people
that
commit
these
crimes.
85
percent
of
them
want
to
die
themselves
and
if
a
gunman
comes
into
a
school
banishing
a
gun,
the
dog
will
go
after
the
gun.
B
That's
the
dog's
Prime
director
where
for
that
gun
and
get
it
immediately,
and
it
was
explained
in
the
seminar
that
a
person
that
is
going
to
do
this
kind
of
crime
does
not
want
to
be
attacked
by
a
dog
because
they
know
they're
going
to
live
and
when
I
started.
Thinking
about
the
psychology
of
all
this
and
the
presentation
and
the
details
that
was
given
over
this
two-hour
lecture
to.
R
B
It's
a
no-brainer,
I
I
think
it's
a
school
safety.
It's
you
know
it's
unfortunate,
but
this
is
2022..
You
know
in
the
world
we
never
had
to
think
about
these
things
years
ago,
but
the
plethora
of
school
shootings,
that's
going
on
by
people
that
have
lost
their
mind
or
whatever
no
I
I
think
this
is
a
great
program
and
I
think
government
should
be
spending
money
for
safety
in
schools
and
if
we
don't,
where
does
that
leave
us.
N
N
Through
you
to
the
medical
clerk
like
look
at
some
dates
and
commission
Department.
D
Will
forward
some
information
for
various
schools
in
our
area
and
get
get
them
filled
yeah?
So
we
don't.
You
need
to
beat
up
on
each
other.
We
just
need
to
hear
just
need
the
pros
and
the
cons
and.
R
L
A
couple
things:
one
thing
that
we
learned
with
with
dogs
is
the
dogs
are
not
going
to
hesitate.
The
dog
police
officer
most
likely
will
okay
and
when
that
shot
is
fired,
can't
have
hesitation
because
I
the
next
shot
and
the
next
shot.
The
next
shot
could
be
another
body,
another
body,
another
body.
L
L
They
go
search,
lockers,
they're,
not
trained
to
they're,
not
training,
like
a
police
dog
that
you
see
on
the
street
they're,
not
trained
in
apprehension;
they're,
not
training,
to
go
out
and
bite
and
hold
somebody
they're
not
trained
to
Go
sniffing
and
track
somebody
through
the
woods,
they're
trained
for
one
thing
when
that
when
they
hear
something
that
sounds
like
gunfire
to
start
barking
and
bring
their
Handler
to
that
location,
now
the
Handler
and
until
he
verifies
that
it
wasn't
a
pot
that
fell
on
the
floor
or
a
firecracker
or
a
hardback
fire.
L
L
That
dog's
going
to
travel
between
25
and
28
miles
an
hour
towards
that
person
that
has
that
gun
and
bypass
all
the
screaming
kids
and
adults
and
and
everything
else
the
commotion
that's
going
on
and
that
dog
is
trained
in
that
Focus
Joe
Nick
is
going
to
be
the
one
who
goes
and
gets
the
dog
at
his
own
expense
is
not
an
expense
of
the
county.
L
Joe
Nick
is
the
director
of
of
the
academy,
but
from
what
I
understand
you
know,
he'll
be
the
one
training
these
dolls,
he
trains
him
at
his
house
and
then
then
Joe
Nick
will
go
to
to
whatever
the
school
is,
and
this
is
a
board
of
education
thing.
You
know
individual
District
by
District
by
District
I,
don't
know
that
it's
really
our
our
say
one
way
or
the
other
I
don't
know
if
there
is
even
going
to
be
any
expense
to
the
county.
But
this
is
something
where
you
know.
L
He
came
up
with
this
concept:
I
think
about
what
he
came
up
with
training
dogs
to
find
cell
phones
in
jails
years
ago.
You
know
he
was
involved
in
the
in
the
Megan's
Law
case
years
ago.
It
was
his
him
and
his
dog
okay,
that
that
found
where
the
body
was
so
and
this
guy
has
followed
school
shootings
for
years
and
years
and
years.
We
can't
have
something:
that's
happened
in
some
of
these.
Other
states
happen
here.
O
L
Anyway,
okay-
and
you
know
the
most
important
part
about
that
dog
is
the
Handler
and
like
like
Joe
Nick
said
you
know
he
has
to
be
involved
in
the
picking
of
that
Handler,
in
other
words,
not
because
it's
the
superintendent's
son
or
a
relative
that
just
wanted
that
one.
If
that
Handler
can't
be
trainable
and
and
follow
the
instructions.
L
Okay,
where
it's
going
to
jeopardize
the
safety
of
the
people
inside
that
school
or
wherever
there
are,
then
that's
all,
then
that
Handler
is
not
going
to
be
a
fit.
So
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
it
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
more
education
that
needs
to
come
out
of
it
yeah.
You
know
this.
This
was
a
room
that
probably
had
I,
don't
know
what
40
people
in
it.
Okay,
so
I
think
we
need
more
than
40
people
to
make
the
decision.
But
again
it's
going
to
be
you
know
individually.
L
L
Them
to
go
back
and
convince
their
Boards
of
educations,
and
then
you
know
we'll
see
where
we
go.
I
think
we
have
a.
We
have
a
great
director
of
our
Canine
Academy
does
a
phenomenal
job,
and
you
know
he
has
dogs
that
are
not
only
in
Cumberland
County
but
but
or
in
other
states
and
he's
the
only
person
in
the
country
that
has
the
patent
on
this
school
dog
concept.
L
E
A
B
M
If
I
may
I
mean
I
I
couldn't
agree
with
commissioner
Ballas
and
commissioner
Risley
and
corsi
Moore,
we
actually
started
looking
at
this
program
in
2019
and
and
Mr
fodorko
myself,
Phil
Gunther
from
acit
we'll
work
on
it
when,
when
the
pandemic
kind
of
hit,
but
if
anybody
had
the
chance
they
should
Google
the
story
about
canine
Meadow,
which
is
the
canine
that's
in
Cumberland
County.
M
The
story
is,
is
really
it's
really
moving
the
Genesis
of
all
of
this
and
and
the
work
that
Joe
Nick
has
done
revolutionary
work.
That
he's
done
right
here
in
Atlanta
County.
M
The
research
that
has
gone
into
this
is
amazing
and
I.
I
did
speak
with
commissioner
ballast
and
with
the
county
executive,
because
I
was
unable
to
attend
that
meeting,
but
I
had
all
the
information
I
fully
support
it.
I,
don't
know,
I'm
shocked
to
hear
that
people
are
against
it,
because
I
have
not
heard
that
at
all
from
anybody
and
I
would
I
I
wonder
what
the
reason
is,
because
if
any
school
has
an
SRO
I
believe
most
sros
are
armed.
M
So
I
don't
know
if
that
was
is
an
issue
and
I
I
know
of
many
of
the
schools
in
our
County
that
have
had
canines
come
through
the
school
for
Education
demonstrations
for
searches,
so
I
I'm
very
shocked
to
hear
that
people
are
against
this,
but
I
would
100
urge
people
to
Google
search,
canine,
Meadow
and
school
dogs
s-k-o-o-l,
which
is
Joe
Nick's
program
and
and
get
educated
to
your
point,
commissioner
Risley,
because
it
really
is
an
amazing
program.
M
My
vision
was
that
we
would
create
a
division
of
dogs
that
would
rotate
through
every
school
in
the
county
so
that
a
potential
shooter
wouldn't
even
think
about
coming
to
Atlanta
County
because
they
wouldn't
know
where
the
dog
would
be.
M
But
we
can
only
control
our
school
districts
which
are
acit
and
special
services,
so
I
fully
support.
If
that's
the
path,
we're
continuing
to
go
down,
I'm
100
behind
it
and
if
there's
any
committees
I
can
participate
in
to
to
help
I'm
happy
to
thank.
A
You,
commissioner,
okay,
we
have
received
copies
of
written
Communications
and
petitions.
Any
commissioner
have
any
comments
they'd
like
to
make
many
people
they've
received.
Thank
you
so
you're
none
will
now
open
the
public
comments
portion.
Anyone
in
person
that
would
like
to
speak
during
public
comments.
Please
come
to
the
podium
state.
Your
name
and
the
town
you
reside
will
divide
it
up
to
three
minutes
to
speak
if
you're
attending
virtually
please
type.
A
I
Veterinary
Commissioners
I'm
Christine
Ruth
I'm,
actually
here
to
respond
to
the
meeting
that
several
of
us
attended
last
week
regarding
School
dogs
and
both
I
spoke
at
that
meeting
as
well.
Both
commissioner
Risley
and
commissioner
ballast
referenced
a
couple
of
my
comments.
I
won't
get
into
them
too
much
today,
because
I
want
to
talk
about
some
things
directly
to
you.
I
I
spoke
about
a
couple
concerns
of
that
the
Educators
there
should
think
of
and
including
the
efficacy
the
safety
of
having
these
School
dogs
I
can't
even
believe
we
attended
the
same
presentation.
I
found
it
to
be
fully
propaganda.
I
did
not
find
it
to
be
an
impressive
presentation
at
all.
If
you're
emotion,
story,
inspiring
fear,
there
was
not
any
research
that
was
offered,
except
for
that
was
done.
That
was
done
independently
by
Mr.
I
Nick
I
am
not
taking
away
from
his
professionalism
as
a
canine
trainer
at
all,
but
this
is
a
brand
new,
never
done
before
active
shooter
dog.
That's
not
happening
anywhere
else.
It's
unproven!
It's
unresearched!
It's
risky!
It's
not
something
that
and
I'm
a
teacher
in
Atlantic
City.
We
had
a
wonderful
first
day
of
school
today.
So
I'm
speaking
from
the
perspective
as
someone
who's
who's
in
the
classroom
every
day,
who's.
I
Of
these
things
every
single
day,
so
a
couple
things
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up
specifically
to
the
Commissioners.
The
first
is
during
the
meeting
that
Mr
Nick
offered
the
dogs
for
free
tearfully.
He
was
saying
I
do
this
out
of
the
goodness
of
my
heart
and
I
will
give
you
the
dogs
and
then
I
was
also
receive
the
email
from
judge
Sanson,
where
he
said
that
Mr
Levinson
is
offering
schools,
the
dogs
and
the
training,
so
I
I'm
not
clear
on
where
the
where
he
was
paying
for
these
dogs.
I
Is
it
happening
for
free
or
is
the
dogs
in
the
training,
or
is
it
coming
from
the
county?
And,
if
so,
isn't
that
something
you
should
have
oversight
at
both.
So
I
know
that
commissioner
Fitzpatrick
brought
that
up
that
it's.
If
it's
some
money,
that's
coming
from
the
county,
it
should
be
something
that
should
be
coming.
I
Offered
to
schools,
many
of
us
are
concerned
also
that
this
will
make
our
schools
less
safe
and
for
a
couple
reasons
one
increasing
the
force
in
schools
is
not
is
not
proven
to
be
safe
and
I
should
have
mentioned.
Also
I.
V
I
My
Doctorate
in
Education
from
the
University
of
Southern
California
and
my
studies
were
on
racial
disparities
and
school
disciplines,
so
I've
spent
many
many
hours
actually
researching
what
makes
School
safe.
I
So
this
this
specific
program
now
is
unproven.
It's
unresearched,
we
don't
know
how
the
dogs
are
trained.
They
didn't
talk
about
that
in
the
presentation.
Besides,
you
know
a
you
know,
a
shiny,
promotional
video.
How
do
we
know
that
the
dog
will
only
respond
to
gunshots?
That's
again,
he
said
that
they
do,
but
we
don't
know
if
that's
true
or
not,
there's
a
lot
of
talk
about
that.
The
dog
goes
25
miles
an
hour
through
the
school.
I
I
I
So
really
what
the
point
is
to
close
that
Gap
of
those
couple
of
minutes,
I
I,
was
really
Disturbed
that
to
hear
Mr,
Ballas
say
that
police
will
hesitate
I'm
in
there
I'm
in
that
classroom
every
single
day
and
to
see
what
happened
to
you
in
Uvalde
and
then
to
hear
that
that's
being
confirmed
here,
that
police
might
hesitate
to
come
in
and
help
me
and
my
students,
I,
don't
I,
know
a
number
of
police
in
this
County
that
would
not
hesitate
and
I
so
again,
I.
I
Don't
think
that
the
the
dogs
are
necessary.
I
think
that
it
sets
a
tone
of
of
punishment,
a
tone
of
fear
for
our
kids.
They
don't
need
to
feel
that
way.
We
know
what
works
already.
We've
been
doing
it.
We
were
51st
in
school
shootings
in.
I
For
a
reason,
because
of
our
gun
control,
but
also
because
we
have
the
best
schools
in
the
country,
we
know
how
to
keep
kids
safe.
We
know
how
to
connect
with
kids
and
give
them
the
tools
to
be
wonderful
citizens
in
society
and
to
move
on
into
doing
great
things.
We
don't.
We
do
not
need
this
program,
a
couple
other
things
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
mentioned
see.
Oh,
the
fourth
thing
was
that
was.
I
V
I
To
to
respond
to
what
one
of
the
other
Commissioners
said
again
I
work
in
Atlantic
City
and
we
have
local
community
safety
guards
that
do
a
wonderful
job.
Talking
to
kids,
I'm,
going
to
call
your
grandma
and
like
we
are
able
to
connect
with
kids
and
help
with
behavior.
We
do
not
need
more
guns
in
our
schools,
more
guns,
equal,
more
violence
and
I
I'm.
I
Just
urging
you
to
understand
that
this
is
premature
to
jump
on
this
bandwagon
that
you
should
make
decisions
based
on
Research,
not
on
the
fear
where
we
all
are
afraid
that
something
could
happen
to
our
kids,
we're
doing
a
great
job
already
and
I.
Think
and
I
I
was
the
one
who
mentioned
that
we
needed
more
counselors,
yes,
guidance
counselors
have
been
around
forever.
I
was
one
for
12
years.
I
We
don't
have
enough.
We
don't
have
enough
mental
health
support.
We
don't
have
the
programs
that
we
need.
I
have
800
students
in
my
school
with
one
counselor,
so
what
the
superintendent
from
Kate
from
Cumberland
Tech
was
talking
about.
The
ratio
of
1200
kids
to
12
counselors
I
wanted
to
laugh
out
loud.
Like
that's
a
dream,
come
true.
E
I
Of
our
schools
have
that
many
counselors,
so
looking
at
the
ratio
that
you
should
have
should
be
one
250,
kids
or
less
per
counselor,
so
I
I,
don't
think
any
school
should
should
even
look
at
a
program
like
this
until
they're
close
to
that
ratio
and
so
again,
I
urge
you
to
continue
to
support
strict
gun
laws
that
are
proven
to
work
and
also
to
acknowledge
that
we.
I
A
And,
and
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here,
but
what
you,
what
you
saw
this
evening,
was
it
going
to
a
committee
and
listening
to
views
like
what
you're
saying.
So
that's
exactly
what
commissioner
corsi
and
even
commissioner
Park
were
saying.
So
it
is
not
anything's
done
we're.
We
want
to
reach
out
so
I.
Thank
you
for
your
comments
and
for
being
here,
because
that's
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
do.
I
A
A
A
X
X
Hi
I'm,
sorry
I,
don't
know
why
it
switched
back
to
being
muted.
My
name
is
Alicia
Newcombe
I
live
in
Hamilton
and
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
the
you
passing
the
resolution
for
crops.
I
am
the
executive
director
of
crops,
communities,
revolutionizing,
open
public
spaces
and
I
just
wanted
to
express
our
gratitude
to
you
passing
the
resolution,
but
I
also
wanted
specifically
to
thank
some
of
the
staff
for
the
county,
Linda
and
Jackie
at
the
County
executive's
office
and
also
Paul
at
the
public
works
department.
X
They
were
just
very,
very
kind
to
us,
and
you
know
they
were
really
great
to
work
with
and
I
just
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
so
much
because
you
know
we
do
a
lot
of
work.
I'm
part
of
a
the
food
democracy
collaborative
which
is
a
Statewide
Coalition
of
people
from
a
bunch
of
different.
X
X
We
don't
have
the
correct
Pathways
to
get
good
food
nutritious
food
to
people
who
really
need
it,
and
you
know
I
also
wanted
to
urge
the
Commissioners
I
I
did
ask
this
when
I
first
reached
out
a
couple
months
ago
to
everybody's
email,
address
that
I
could
find
on
the
County
website,
but
I
I
just
wanted
you
to
have
it
on
your
radar.
The
New
Jersey
Eda
food
security
planning
grant
program
when
I
asked
about
that
I.
X
Think
the
the
intermediate
director
of
the
public
of
of
the
Department
of
Health
told
me
that
there
was
no
plans
at
the
county
level
to
apply
for
that,
but
I
had
wondered
if
anybody
had
reconsidered
that
and
if
you
were
keeping
an
eye
on
that
program
and
and
also
I
just
wanted
to
express,
you
know,
offer
our
our
organization
as
a
resource.
In
case
you
decided,
you
wanted
to
apply
for
that
that
funding
when
it
does
become
available.
A
Thank
you
Alicia
and
thank
you,
for
you
know
what
you
do
throughout
the
community
as
well:
I'm,
not
sure
about
the
grants,
but
before
I
go
any
further,
we'll
pass
that
along
to
the
staff
members,
you
know
I
appreciate
you,
you
know
saying
making
notice
of
how
well
they
took
care
of
you.
A
Oh
okay,
so
the
information
on
the
grant
is
going
to
the
Departments
involved
in.
Thank
you
very
much,
for
you
know
offering
to
you
know,
send
any
information
that
they
may
need
as
well.
X
Great,
thank
you.
So
much
I
also
just
wanted
to
note
that
back
in
2021,
We
rescued
1300
pounds
of
produce
from
local
farms
that
we
work
with.
And
then
this
summer
ever
since
June
6th,
we
have
rescued
over
3
000
pounds
of
locally
grown
produce
right
in
Atlanta
County
and
then
redistributed
it
to
different
apartment
complexes
in
Atlantic,
City
and
now
in
Pleasantville,
and
we've
worked
with
a
low-income
senior
Nursing
Home
in
Egg
Harbor
City,
as
well
as
a
non-profit
daycare
center.
X
A
A
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
Melanie
just
make
your
name
in
your
town
that
you
reside.
V
Sure
Melanie
brazowski
I'm
from
Northfield
and
I
just
wanted
to
comment
about
the
school
security
discussion.
I
was
also
at
that
meeting
with
the
Commissioners
and
the
superintendents
I
didn't
quite
have
the
same
takeaway
about
it.
It
being
a
very
well
done
presentation,
it
was
very
polished,
but
it
was.
V
It
was
a
little
chilling.
Honestly,
it
was
the
police
selling
policing
Services
is
what
it
was.
And,
honestly
you
know,
the
the
trainer
was
very
emotional
and
he
made
a
very
you
know.
It
was
pathos,
pathos,
pathos,
I'd,
see
why
people
would
get
you
know
emotional
and
and
believe
the
things
that
he
was
saying.
V
However,
you
know
this
person
operates
a
business,
it's
not
a
non-profit
to
what
what
I
understand
and
and
and
basically
I
just
was
very
struck
by
the
tone
of
the
conversation,
how
it
really
was
not
based
in
research
at
all.
You
know
when
teachers
are
held
to
a
high
standard
when
they
want
to
implement
programs
in
their
classrooms,
and
they
have
to
show
an
abundance
of
research
about
why
they
decide
to
do
a
method
or
Implement
a
tool,
and
you
know
it's
very
highly
scrutinized.
V
That
is
not
what
happened
to
this
meeting.
This
was
a
here's
a
Band-Aid,
so
you
can
feel
good
about
something
that
like
you're
doing
something,
but
there
was
no
real
research
to
back
any
of
that
up.
A
lot
of
the
research
about
school
security
says
just
the
opposite,
that
you
know:
sros
and
and
policing
in
schools.
Make
schools
safer.
V
I
know
that
I
had
emailed
some
of
the
school
and
superintendents
about
this
I.
Don't
think
they
read
those
emails,
but
you
know
anyway
the
the
perception
basically
that,
like
an
armed
security
person,
is
going
to
deter
School
shooters
is,
is
just
incorrect.
V
I
mean
we
have
research
that
says
that,
and
it
I'll
give
you
a
statistic:
let's
see
a
professor
from
the
University
of
Massachusetts
analyzed
111,
shooting
attacks
between
1966
and
2015
for
his
book
Rampage
nation
and
found
that
only
18
took
places
in
areas
where
Firearms
were
banned.
That
is
School
shooters
do
not
favor
gun-free
zones,
so
you
know
not
only
do
I
feel
like
the
process
was
not
on
the
up
and
up.
V
You
know,
in
terms
of
you
know,
offering
County
funds
before
the
Commissioners
had
actually
allocated
those
funds
and
doing
it
with
a
very
small
group
of
people
that
were
in
attendance.
V
Like
you
said
about
40
people,
you
know
that's
not
really
giving
the
public
the
option,
it's
more
like
ramming
it
down
their
throats,
and
you
know
I'm,
just
not
in
favor
of
this
and
I
really
feel
like
you
need
to
hear
from
people
who
don't
want
their
children
to
go
to
schools
where
it
feels
like
a
prison
where
there's
police
dogs
and
cops
and
everything
is,
you
know,
feeling
very
scary
and
militarized.
That's
not
the
education
system
that
I
grew
up
in
and
it's
not
what
you
grew
up
in
and
I.
V
Don't
feel
like
it's
fair
to
put
our
children
in
that
position.
It's
not
their
fault.
You
know,
the
state
of
the
world
is
actually
our
fault
and
it's
not
their
fault.
They
shouldn't
have
the
punishment
of
being
in
this.
You
know
very
highly
intense
and
anxious
place
where
we
have
things
like
dogs
and
and
police
officers,
where
they're
supposed
to
be
feeling
comfortable
and
learning.
V
So
these
are
all
just
you
know,
thoughts
from
me
to
you,
I
hope,
like
you,
can
mull
it
over
I.
Don't
think
this
is
a
good
idea.
I
do
not
support
it
and
I
hope
that
you
take
that
into
consideration.
