Description
City of Chelsea, Discuss Rules and Regulations of the City Council
A
B
A
Great,
thank
you
everyone
for
being
here.
The
purpose
of
this
special
committee
meeting
is
a
this
is
a
subcommittee
on
the
rules
of
regulations.
These
are
the
members
of
this
of
this
committee
and
today
we
are
discussing
the
rules
and
regulations
of
the
city
council.
I
know
that
the
body
the
council
body
and
members
of
this
body
have
expressed
interest
in
revisiting
the
rules
of
the
city
council
and
perhaps
revising
them,
and
just
for
the
public
who
is
watching
the
city
council
follows
the
city
charter.
A
We
also
follow
the
roberts
rules
of
order,
but
the
premier
and
priority
rules
that
we
go
by
are
our
rules
and
regulations,
which
is
a
total
of
43
rules
that
we
have
and
we,
as
a
body
can
revisit
them,
revise
them
and
make
any
other
suggestions.
So
today,
we're
meeting
here
to
listen
to
colleagues
who
have
any
suggestions
on
edits
revisions
that
can
be
made
as
a
body.
A
We
can
present
that
as
a
recommendation
to
our
colleagues,
the
council
body
and
then
vote
on
those
changes,
so
I
will
open
up
the
floor
now
to
see
if
any
of
the
colleagues
present
here
today
have
any
revisions
they
would
like
to
make
or
any
remarks.
They
would
like
to
say
regarding
these
rules.
Counselor
todd,
taylor.
A
D
B
Okay,
number
forty
reads:
the
president
of
the
city
council
may
set
a
time
limit
on
the
public
comment.
Section
of
the
meeting
no
person
may
address
the
council
for
a
period
longer
than
four
minutes.
Any
person
wishing
to
address
the
city
council
must
first
state
their
name
and
address
for
the
record.
B
No
member
of
the
city
council,
including
the
chairperson,
shall
answer
or
respond
to
any
questions
passed
by
the
public,
except
by
written
communication.
No
sooner
than
the
next
meeting,
no
member
of
the
chelsea
city
council
shall
be
allowed
to
speak
or
address
the
council
during
the
public
session.
Let
me
go
to
rule
eight
speaking.
Decal
counselors
will
speak
only
on
the
question
under
debate.
No
debate
will
be
allowed
by
the
president.
B
Unless
there
is
a
motion
on
the
floor,
each
counselor
will
speak
only
once
on
the
question
before
the
council.
No
counsel
counselor
shall
hold
the
floor
for
more
than
five
minutes
before
any
debate.
One
counselor
may
yield
his
or
her
time
to
the
maker
of
the
motion.
If
the
five
minute
time
is
insufficient,
the
person
who
yields
their
time
will
not
be
allowed
to
speak
on
the
motion
grade.
C
C
The
public,
as
far
as
rule
number
40
goes
the
public
that
no
one
should
be
able
to
publicly
disparage
anyone
on
the
city,
council
and
or
use
profanity
when
addressing
the
city
council,
I'm
all
for
people
who
want
to
get
up
and
say
I
disagree
with
so
and
so
about
such
and
such
that's.
That's
democracy!
That's!
That's!
That's
within
the
rules,
but
when
you
start
getting
up-
and
you
know
making
slanderous
statements
about
people
that's
out
of
bounds
and
I
think
that
should
be
prohibited.
A
A
E
C
You
know.
I
think
that
if
you
do
do
that,
if
you
allow
that
to
happen,
which
is
what
has
gone
on
in
the
past,
you
know
you
have
chaos
in
the
in
the
city
council
chamber
and
you
know
it
just
goes
on
and
on
and
on,
and
so
then,
then
you
know
we're
going
to
end
up
in
a
lawsuit
somewhere
where
you
know
somebody's
going
to
sue
the
city.
So
my
my
intent
on
doing
this
is
to
be
proactive
and
to
try
to
head
off
these
types
of
situations.
There's
no.
C
C
It
doesn't
it
doesn't,
do
anyone
any
good
to
allow
that
type
of
they
don't
allow
it
in
in
basically
any
any
legislative
body,
every
legislative
body
has
rules
and
and
those
particular
types
of
rules
were
missing,
and
so
what
would
happen
if
somebody
comes
up
and
does
it
and
how
does
that
work?
The
president
would
stop
them
and
say
that
you're
out
of
order,
and
if
you're
not
you
know,
if
you,
if
you
won't
stop
speaking,
then
you're
you're
gonna
have
to
leave
the
chambers.
C
D
D
F
D
A
And
it
sounds
like
the
consensus
that
I'm
hearing
here
from
both
ends.
Is
we?
I
appreciate
your
introduction
of
the
idea
of
setting
a
warning.
I
think
that's
that's
a
good
idea
and
what
I'm
hearing
from
from
councillor
taylor
here
is.
We
will
not
allow
any
profanity
any
deregulatory
remarks
that
are
that
demonize
city
councilor,
particularly.
C
So
I
I
just
had
one
other
thing
to
add:
is
that
no
matter
where
you
are
politically,
this
protects
everybody,
because,
because
I
guarantee
you
there
are
people
out
there
on
both
sides
of
the
political
spectrum
that
are
willing
to
come
up
here
and
say
nasty
things
about
you
or
me,
or
anyone
else
so
and
no
matter
who
does
it
it's
wrong?
So
you
know
it's
not
right
in
some
instances,
depending
on
who's
being
slandered,
it's
wrong,
no
matter
who's
being
slandered,
and
so
this
is
a
type
of
behavior.
C
That
is
not
a
legitimate
part
of
public
discourse.
Public
discourse
should
should
you
know,
be
respectful
and
especially
in
this
house,
this
is
the
people's
house
right
here,
the
people
of
chelsea.
This
is
where
they
own
this
right.
So
it
needs
to
be
a
respectful
place.
You
know,
and
and
and
don't
get
me
wrong
like
I
said
somebody
wants
to
come
up
and
say
I
disagree
with
todd
taylor
because
you
know
he
believes
in
this,
and
I
think
that
that's
wrong.
That
is
perfectly
legitimate.
C
But
if
somebody
comes
up
and
says
you
know
todd
taylor's
evil
because
he
believes
this
or
if
he
you
know,
you
know,
he's
he's
he's
such
and
such
because,
because
of
this,
that
or
the
other
and
it's
just
not
right
and-
and
you
know
there
are-
there
are
other
types
of
laws
in
this
in
this
country
that
preclude
people
from
saying
such
things,
whether
you
write
them
or
whether
you
say
them.
Those
are
the
slander
laws
and
libel
laws.
So
you
can't
just
say
anything:
you
want
free
speech
doesn't
mean
total.
C
G
Since
you
already
spoke,
so
I
just
want
to
say-
and
you
know
this
is
my
first
term
on
the
council,
but
I've
spent
many
many
years
here
on
the
other
side
testifying-
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure-
and
I
agree
with
my
callings
in
the
fact
that
we
don't
want
to
allow
our
home
our
or
our
community's
home
to
be
disrespected.
But
I
want
to
be
very
mindful
of
the
wording.
H
G
Message
that
is
sent
when
we
try
to
implement
something
like
this,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
continuing
to
encourage
the
community
to
come
and
speak
their
voice,
regardless
of
feeling
you
know
like
they
are
in
opposition
of
something
that
we
are
putting
forward
like.
I
encourage
anyone
in
my
district.
You
know
I
would
want
them
to
come
up
here
and
say
you
know
I
disagree
with
my
counselor.
G
I
would
like
for
something
like
this
to
be
pushed
forward
instead,
and
so
I
just
want
to
be
mindful
that
when
we
do
think
about
the
wording
of
this-
and
I
you
know
I
do
agree
again-
we
don't
want
someone,
you
know
coming
up
and
using
curse
words
or
whatnot.
You
know,
but
but
we
do
want
to
encourage
people
that
if
you
don't
agree
with
what's
happening,
it's
okay
to
come
up
here
and
say
so.
D
I
own
city
hall,
you
know
the
this
is
a
respectful
place.
You
come
in
here,
you
respect
it
like
you,
respect
your
home,
but
we
too,
as
city
councils,
we've
had
we've
had
things
in
the
past
where
folks
felt
intimidated
and
it's
not
the
intent,
but
you
have
to
kind
of
like
tone
your
intent
down
tone
your
your
voice
down,
even
when
you're
after
meetings
and
before
meetings
and
talking
to
folks,
we
want
to
get
the
we
want
respect.
We
have
to
give
respect.
D
So
we
have
to
also
look
at
you
know:
how
are
the
public
viewing
us?
You
know:
do
they
view
us
as
respectful
folks?
Do
they
review
us
as
folks
who
go
up
there
and
really
advocate
and
communicate
in
a
respectful
way?
And
so,
when
I
come
up
there,
I
don't
like
calvin
brown,
but
you
know
what
he's
still
a
city
council
and
I
got
to
respect
the
body
you
know.
D
So
we
want
that,
but
we
don't
want
calvin
brown
feeling
like
they
got
to
respect
his
body,
but
I
can
go
out
here
and
I
can
do
whatever
I
want
to
say.
We
don't
want
that.
So
we
have
a
lot
to
do
and
that's
why
I
wanted
to
look
at
not
only
our
behavior
but
the
behavior
to
come
before
us,
because
it
represents
us
at
all
right.
Okay
and.
C
Absolutely
absolutely
nobody
wants
to
do
that.
What
we
do
want
to
do
is
keep
people
from
basically
putting
putting
the
city
at
at
in
jeopardy
by
by
using
violent
language
using
obscene
language
or
by
disparaging
somebody's
character.
So
so
that's
all
and
there's
a
there.
I
think,
there's
a
big.
You
know
difference
between
that
and
trying
to
stop
people
from
voicing
their
opinion.
C
You
know,
I
don't
think
anybody
wants
anybody's
opinion,
but
we
just
want
people
to
be
respectful
and
that's
not
too
much
to
ask
and
that's
not
cooling,
somebody.
You
know
trying
to
cool
debate.
That's
just
when
you
get
up
and
speak.
You
don't
disparage
somebody,
you
don't
use
foul
language,
you
know
and-
and
you
don't
use
violent
language.
C
C
C
I
I'm
just
saying
that
we
have
to
think
about
that
in
in
those
terms,
because
this
is
actually
our
workplace,
so
we
have
to,
I
think,
think
about
it
in
those
terms
and
and
act
appropriately,
and
that
goes
for
the
counselors,
and
I
I
I
couldn't
agree
with
you
more
councillor
brown
about
you
know.
If
people
we
have
to
be
we're
elected
leaders,
we
have
to
lead
by
example
and
try
to
be
respectful
when
we're
when
we're
up
here.
I
know
that
you
know
people
feel
things
very
deeply.
C
Sometimes-
and
sometimes
that
shows-
and
I
think
all
of
us
may
have
been
guilty
of
that
at
one
time
or
another,
but
I
think
that
in
general,
when
we're
speaking
up
here
in
a
city
council
meeting,
we
should
be
respectful
of
our
of
our
colleagues,
and
I
think
that
that
should
be
also
be
amended
in
rule
eight
did
did
we
did
we
read
roulette?
We
did
right.
D
A
No-
and
I
hear
it
but
for
purposes
of
if
we
want
these
rules
to
change
whatever
we
propose,
we
need
to
propose
in
writing
because
of
course,
these
are
recommendations
of
these
body
of
this
body.
But
other
council
members
are
not
here
so
they're
not
going
to
understand
what
we
mean
if
we're
not,
if
we
don't
have
it
in
writing,
so.
D
If
I,
if
I
could
speak,
I
wanted
to
say
about
eight:
it's
your
conduct
and
your
actions
from
your
conduct
and
your
actions
while
you're
sitting
here
as
an
elected
official,
and
that
goes
to
say
you
know
when
another
council
is
speaking,
have
respect
for
that
counselor.
You
know
whatever
side
language
is,
or
whatever
I
mean
have
respect,
because
you
don't
want
it
to
happen
to
you.
We,
like
you,
just
said
it.
We
see
it
up
here.
Other
folks
may
not,
but
we
know
it's
like
it's
distracting.
G
I
A
I
A
Right
now
is
for
us
to
have
you
know
no
one's
right
or
wrong.
It's
a
matter
of
us
expressing
our
opinions
of
how
we
want
to
improve
the
quorum,
how
we
want
to
improve
our
our
experience
as
a
body,
but
also
it's
you
know
you
could
propose
revisions
and
changes.
We
make
those
recommendations,
but
we
need
the
whole
body
of
the
council
to
approve
and
agree
with
us
and
vote
in
favor
of
it,
but
this
body
here,
that's
now
you
are
welcome
to
present
any
recommendation.
A
H
C
C
D
F
D
C
Under
the
powers
of
the
president
yeah,
I
was
just
going
to
say
that
that
maybe
something
under
rule
3
powers
of
the
president
should
be
put
in
there,
just
just
so
that
there's
some
sort
of
if
he,
if
somebody
refuses,
if
the
president
refuses
to
act
when
somebody
is
clearly
doing
something,
there
should
be
some
sort.
Somebody
can
object
and
and
and
and
stop.
B
B
E
D
E
A
E
A
B
E
F
D
F
D
F
D
H
F
D
It
catches
you
off
guard,
so
we're
trying
to
prevent
that.
Paul
is
right.
We
sat
here.
We
called
cops
on
city,
councilors,
mooning
people,
city
councils,
from
the
stage
on
television
we've
in
this
council
when
I
was
a
bottle
when
I
think
leo
was
about
when
roy
was
about
it,
but
it's
been.
We
we've
had
respect,
but
over
the
past
few
years.
Folks,
oh
they
don't
they're
not
going
to
do
anything.
You
can
just
you
don't
even
have
to
be
from
chelsea.
H
H
D
And-
and
we
also-
let's
be
honest-
we
also
we
have
one
of
our
counselors-
that
you
know
we
know
him.
We
know
what
kind
of
person
he
is
with
no
bad
intention,
but
when
he
approached
the
person
out
here,
a
person
thought
it
was
bad.
So
we
that's
our
action,
that's
our
conduct.
We
have
to
be.
You
know
what
your
voice
may
not
be
bad
to
judith,
garcia
or
the
jesus
of
calvary.
D
D
G
A
Yeah-
and
I
think
it's
also-
and
I
I
respect
that-
you
bring
that
point,
because
I
also
fear
that,
yes,
we
should
anticipate
things
to
happen,
and
it
has
unfortunately
happened
in
my
six
years
here.
There's
been
one
or
two
incidents
that
have
escalated
pretty
quickly,
but
I
also
don't
want
to
limit
aside
from
scaring
right
our
general
public,
from
from
even
showing
up
to
our
meetings,
which
there's
not
a
lot
of
participation.
A
You
know
personally,
I've
been
called
out
on
from
my
constituents
and
I
appreciate
it
right
and
I've
been
called
out
via
phone
and
in
person,
and
you
know,
and
and
I've
never
felt
personally
attacked.
I've
never
felt
like
they've
insulted
me
in
one
way
or
the
other,
but
I
also
know
that
my
role
as
an
elected
official-
I
am
a
public
figure
right.
So
part
of
my
role
because
I
chose
to
do
this-
is
put
myself
out
there
to
get
criticized
right,
and
it's
happened
to
all
of
us
right.
A
We've
been
called
out
and
I
think
that
we
can't
limit-
and
I
understand
what
you're
saying
right,
what
you're
saying
is.
We
can't
allow
folks
to
come
here
and
demonize
us
and
use
their
regulatory
language
towards
us,
but
I
also
don't
want
to
limit
and
say:
well
you
can't
say
certain
things
that
are
not
true
about
me.
You
know
if
they
think
I'm
evil,
then
that's
an
opinion.
You
think
I'm
evil,
but
I
don't
think
that's
a
false
accusation,
because
it's
a
personal
thought,
so
I
I
feel
that
you
know
it's
it's.
A
C
I
don't
think
anybody,
no
matter
who
they
are
should
be
intimidated
or
scared
of
a
chelsea
police
officer.
Now
I
know
that
people
have
different
experiences
with
with
people,
but
this
police
force
is
the
most
progressive
police
force
in
the
entire
country
and
that
chief
kai's
has
worked
tirelessly
to
weed
out
bad
apples
when
something
happens.
C
Boom
they're
gone
okay
and
we've
seen
that
time
and
time
again,
they've
bent
over
backwards
to
make
sure
that
that
everybody
feels
we
have
a
policy
in
this
city
where,
where
immigrants
and
undocumented
people
are
protected
from
from
from
any
kind
of
police
action,
so
why
someone
would
be
intimidated
by
having
somebody
here
now?
Maybe
some
people
don't
understand,
wait,
wait.
C
Maybe
some
people
don't
understand
that
some
counselors
might
actually
be
scared,
because
some
counselors
have
had
death
threats
like
myself,
where
people
have
threatened
physical
violence
against
me
against.
My
family
have
sent
things
to
my
phone,
so
you
know,
let's
talk
about
real
threats
of
violence
and
and
real
type
of
intimidation
that
goes
on.
I
don't
know
if
any
of
the
rest
of
you
have
had
that
happen
to
you,
I'm
not
worried
about
what
people
say.
C
C
D
C
Point
is:
is
that
I'm
addressing
how
about
how
this
gets
done
and
about
how
we
have
we?
We
can't
we
have
to
do
something
that
actually
constrains
that
type
of
behavior
and
that
punishes,
if
they
don't
stop,
punishes
that
type
of
behavior
by
people
being
asked
to
leave
like
the
clerk
said.
This
is
nothing
new.
C
C
That's
not
me,
that's
somebody
else.
So
what
I'm
saying
is
is
that
this
is
not
some
sort
of
thing.
That's
coming
out
of
nowhere,
there's
good
basis
for
these
things
being
enacted
and
it
and
it's
not
like
well
somebody
says
you're
evil,
that's
just
their
opinion,
but
no
that's
not
so
it
could
be
an
opinion.
But
if
you
say
that
about
somebody,
you
can
be
held
accountable.
If
you
can't
prove
that
that's
true.
B
H
D
D
C
A
G
G
My
question
earlier,
chairperson,
was
that
if
this,
this
set
of
rules
was
for
this
body
only
because
we
are
no
different
than
the
other
employees
in
this
building
and
I
have
gone
around
and
spoken
to
the
different
departments
and
there
are
others
who
have
also
been
threatened
by
different
people
in
the
community,
and
so
I
do
not
feel
comfortable
making
a
police
officer
be
on
duty,
and
I
know
that
we're
not
going
to
that
extreme.
I
wouldn't
want
an
officer
to
be
just
positioned
in
this
office.
G
G
Department,
dpw
planning
department,
you
know
they
also
go
through
certain
people
who
have
different
opinions
or
have
anger
towards.
You
know
some
of
the
actions
that
are
taken
through
those
departments
and
and
that's
the
reality,
that's
what
we
come
in.
That's
what
we
step
into
when
we,
when
we
apply
for
these
jobs
and
when
we
become
city
officials.
H
Jesus
I
worked
at
the
treasurer's
office
and
I
got
I
mean
you're,
paying
me
a
ton
of
money
for
parking
tickets.
I
get
mad.
When
I
pay
parking
tickets
like
nobody
wants
to
pay
parking
tickets.
I
got
threatened
a
couple
times.
I
even
got
invited
to
fight
outside
okay,
I
was
tempted,
but
I
didn't
go,
but
I
just
feel
like
counselor
taylor,
you
told
you
said
you
put
yourself
in
in
someone.
D
H
H
They
won't
know
that,
and
you
know
in
my
previous
job,
I
worked
at
la
colorado,
I'm
no
longer
working
there,
but
I
saw
it
every
day
our
new
immigrant
families
coming
in
fearing
and
coming
to
a
non-profit
organization
instead
of
going
to
the
police
offices
because
they
fear
the
police
officers.
So
you
know
we.
We
cannot
say
that
chief
has
been
doing
an
amazing
job
and-
and
I
applaud
him
all
the
time,
but
it's
not
in
the
radio
daily-
it's
not
in
in
in
how
do
you
say
that
it's
not
yeah?
H
A
It's
just
and
now
I
want
to
shift
the
conversation
back
to
the
matter
at
hand
right,
because
I
think
I
think
we
got
off
subject
here
with
with
the
police
officers
statements
simply
because
you
know
the
purpose
of
this
meeting
today
is
to
stick
to
the
rules
and
what
changes
we
want
to
make
I've
heard
rule
number
from
rule
number.
Eight
I've
heard
rule
number
40..
A
A
G
Yes,
so
for
rule
number
six
counselor
can
you
share
with
me?
Is
this
something
that
all
special
select
and
standing
committees
shall
be
appointed
and
announced
by
the
president
unless
otherwise
provided
for
or
especially
directed
by
the
council?
Is
this
when
we
are
looking
into
the
empty
seats
and
all
are
different?
No,
no!
No!
No.
A
So
this
is
so
what
happens
is
once
the
council
president
gets
elected
and
one
of
his
powers
is
to
decide
there's
committees
just
like
this
one.
You
know
this
is
the
rules
and
regulations
committee.
His
he
makes
decision
on
who
belongs
on
all
of
these
committees
and
I'm
not
mistaken.
There's
a
total
of
eight
committees
is
that
the
case
yeah
yeah
yeah,
but
yeah.
So
there's
a
total
of
eight
like
around
eight
committees.
A
A
A
Was
on
two
so
special
committees,
perfect
example:
pandemic
happened
right
and
we've
we
figured.
We
need
to
provide
help
to
our
small
businesses.
Let's
create
an
emergency
relief
grant.
There's
a
special
committee
created
to
help
draft
that
that
application
process.
What
that
would
look
like
and
then
another
example
is,
it
happens
every
10
years
the
city
charter.
A
Charters
is
another
example
of
a
special
committee.
One
more
thing
I
will
add
for
clarification
in
case
there's
any
council
members
who
are
watching
online
and
would
also
like
to
send
a
revision.
You
are
also
welcome,
even
though
you're,
not
a
member
of
this
body,
you're,
also
welcome
to
to
send
anything
in
writing
in
terms
of
revisions.
Counselor,
garcia,.
A
A
D
A
C
C
I
A
I
H
H
I
Mic
working
because
it's
like
it
was
a
little
hard
for
me
to
hear
her.
Oh
sorry,
I
apologize
if
I'm,
if
I'm
mistaken,
yeah
I
what
I've
heard
so
far,
I'm
trying
to
remember
going
through
this,
I'm
not
sure
what
slander
means
in
terms
of
the
rules
and
regulations,
especially
in
the
social
media
world
that
gets
very
blurry,
but
unfortunately,
too,
you
know
everything
gets
commented
on.
I
I
I
You
know
if
there's
a
reason,
but
hopefully
you
know
everybody's
an
adult
here
and
they
know
in
most
cases
and
thank
god
there
hasn't
been
anybody
who
has
a
gun
or
a
knife
or
anything
like
that
in
boston.
That's
that's
a
lot
harder
to
you
know
find
out
about,
but
yeah,
unfortunately,
politically
in
the
last
four
years
or
five
years,
it's
been
very
nasty,
it's
very
social
media
and
I'm
on
social
media
too,
and
even
I'm
getting
a
little
tired
of
it.
You
know.
I
F
I
I
I
You
know
they're
going
to
say
that
they're
wrong,
but
it
was
still
a
little
bit
arrogant,
but
getting
back
to
reality,
though,
because
that's
that's
also
hollywood
people
and
they
know
they
can
probably
buy
their
way
out
of
it,
where
the
rest
of
us
would
not
be
able
to
buy
our
way
out
of
it,
and
we
would
be
in
more
serious
trouble
but
yeah.
I
think
most
people
here,
with
the
exception
of
a
few
chairs
of
political
committees
and
things
not
here,
but
I'm
talking
nationally,
probably
know
how
to
behave
themselves.
I
I've
rarely
seen
I've
been
in
massachusetts,
97
of
my
life
and
I
would
say,
98
people
know
how
to
behave
themselves.
I
would
think
so
I
I
don't
know
I
I
I
personally
coming
from
originally
boston.
I
would
probably
want
a
police
officer
here,
but
the
second
point,
some
people
get
very
nervous
too
and
there's
been
a
bad
video
history.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
would
actually
get
more
people
upset
or
less
upset,
because
I
worked
in
retail.
I
F
I
My
air
of
quotes,
but
you
know
on
standby
just
in
case,
but
I
I
would
be
worried
with
the
unfortunately,
the
video
social
media
thing.
I
I
think
you
probably
don't
want
a
police
officer
here
all
the
time,
but
you
may
want
to
have
somebody
on
standby
just
in
case
they
can
get
here.
I'm,
like
you
know
three
minutes
or
whatever.
F
I
I
E
A
G
So
I
don't
know-
and
if
you
guys
could
please
share
with
me,
what
was
the
process
during
quarantine
for
public
hearings?
Was
that
just
not
done
were
they
put
on
hold?
How
was
the
public
able
to
access
public
speaking
and
you
know
was?
Was
it
a
system
that
worked?
Did
you
were
you
able
to
get
the
community
input?
A
So
I
I
think,
that's
a
great
question.
So,
first
of
all,
let's
clarify
the
pandemic,
did
not
come
with
a
manual,
so
let's
put
that
out
there
we
were
basically
building
a
plane
while
we
were
flying
it,
and
this
body
sat
here
very
late
nights.
I
think
there
was
a
point
where
it
was
just
three
of
us
in
here,
because
others
we
had
to
figure
out.
You
know
we
had
to
figure
out
very
quickly
how
to
put
together
a
zoom.
How
to
buy
those
licenses.
Is
it
zoom?
A
Is
it
webex
an
it
team
was
working
overtime
to
try
to
accommodate
everyone
and
everything.
So,
at
the
time
aside
from
the
hundreds
of
decisions
we
had
to
make
emergency
decisions
in
the
most
case,
what
we
did-
and
my
colleagues
can
correct
me
if
I'm
not
remembering
correctly,
because
everything
was
a
blur
at
that
time.
I
remember
the
process
that
we
had
in
place
was
the
members
of
the
public
who
wanted
to
speak
would
send
an
email
to
our
clerk
or
our
administrative
assistant
on
a
particular
day
until
a
particular
day
in
a
particular
time.
D
A
D
A
So
that's
the
way
it
was
done
and
I
also
recall
that's
when
we
began
the
process
of
live
streaming
like
we
are
now
with
facebook.
Folks
would
comment
on
and
they
still
do
right
on
facebook,
but
we
didn't
have
anybody
monitoring
that,
because
we
can't
engage
on
comments
being
made
in
facebook
and
social
media.
I
know
that
cctv
was
also
very
instrumental
in
making
it
accessible
via
youtube
and
creating
that
platform,
but
in
terms
of
communicating
with
the
public
and
making
it
accessible.
I
know
that
you
know
we
got.
We
got
a
few.
A
A
It
and
we
get
faces,
so
maybe
it's
still
a
good
time
to
think
to
ourselves.
Okay,
what
might
happen
in
2050?
What
happens
if
there's
another
pandemic
or
what
happens
if
we
have
to
quarantine
again?
Are
there
any
ideas
that
this
body
can
offer
in
terms
of
incorporating
technology
and
making
it
more
of
a
hybrid
model
for
our
meetings?
H
F
F
D
D
D
We
didn't
want
to
put
up
the
safety
in
jeopardy
by
having
them
trying
to
get
into
the
city
hall
or
trying
to
get
through
the
the
webex
and
stuff.
It
was
very
costly,
but
we
we
got
better
at
it.
We
got
a
lot
of
great
ratings
throughout
the
state
for
what
we
did
being
the
smallest
city
and
hit
the
hardest.
F
A
G
A
Rule
number
21
publication,
public
hearings,
okay,
so
all
public
hearings,
all
public
hearings
must
start
promptly
on
time
published.
No
counselor
will
be
allowed
to
speak
on
any
other
matter
upon
which
a
public
hearing
is
being
held
until
the
public
hearing
has
been
closed.
So
public
hearings
is
when
folks
come
here
and
speak.
You
would
like
to
add
what.
A
A
and
include
the
needs
of
the
21st
century
right
because
it's
not
only
a
pandemic
matter.
It's
also
a
matter
of
accessibility,
regardless
of
the
pandemic.
Some
folks
might
not
be
able
to
physically
be
here
in
person
to
participate
in
a
public
hearing,
so
we
should
accommodate
and
make
it
accessible
for
them
to
participate
in
other
ways.
That's
what
I'm
hearing
from
you
so
removing
the
the
that
equation.
Counselor,
todd
taylor.
C
A
A
D
A
G
Please
clarify:
let's
allow
her
to
speak,
yeah
correct,
so
I
am
not
talking
specifically
to
the
notice
or
the
timing.
The
notice
goes
out,
I'm
talking
in
particular
to
the
way
that
we
make
the
hearing
accessible
to
the
community,
so
in
any
future
instance,
or
in
the
many
cases
where
we
may
have
constituents
who
are
homebound
and
they
are
very
passionate
about
the
situation
being
discussed
them
being
able
to
use
the
virtual
world
that
was,
you
know,
opened
up
to
the
public
throughout
the
pandemic
and
made
it
accessible,
but
they
can
also
have
that
accessible.
A
C
A
C
D
C
C
F
C
I'm
not
saying
that
we
don't,
of
course
we
do.
We
I
want
every
counselor
to,
but
in
in
this
committee,
there's
three
members
and
and
and
we're
the
ones
making
the
recommendations
now
when
they,
when
the
full
body
takes
up
that
recommendation,
that's
the
time
for
somebody
to
submit
their
amendment
or
whatever.
It
is.
That's
the
procedure
of
this
of
this
guy.
A
Well,
I
welcome
discussion
of
members
that
are
part
of
this
committee
are
not
a
part
of
this
committee,
but
that's
a
great
point.
We
can
end
the
discussion
and
everybody
submit
your
rules,
how
you
want
them
written
and
we
can
present
it
to
the
body
as
a
whole,
but
I
do
want
to
just
make
it
very
clear
that
any
revision
that
you
want
to
make
is
welcomed.
A
D
I
think
you
know
we
should
maybe
follow
up
on
this,
because
the
counselor
has
a
point
from
what
I
heard
from
the
sidebar.
But
again
we
haven't
yet
defined
what
these
rules
are.
So
we're
saying:
oh,
we
need
to
do
this
and
a
lot
of
what
we're
speaking
of
today
is
already
being
done
in
rule
21.,
but
my
fellow
counselor
here
is
talking
about
accessible
part.
If
someone
is
on
the
chat,
talking
and
saying
look,
I
got
a
question
and
I
didn't
submit
a
letter.
Am
I
unable
to
speak?
E
G
Went
through
a
crisis,
the
world
shut
down,
writing
a
letter
and
sending
it
off
with
your
mailman
was
not
as
easy
as
it
sounds
right
now
right,
and
so,
if
we
do
hit
another
crisis,
I
don't
want
to
be
scrambling
around
figuring
out.
How
can
we
have
this
hearing
for
this
urgent
matter
that
we
need
to
do
as
a
council
body,
and-
and
you
know
I
don't
want
to
proceed
without
at
least
having
something
prepared,
since
we
have
the
time
now
to
to
make
it
accessible
for
public
comment.
You
know
yeah.
A
Then
we
can't
do
it
so
sometimes
in
this
world,
it's
black
and
white
and
unfortunately
these
rules
are
black
and
white,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
edit
these
rules
and
make
it
more
accommodating
and
more
inclusive.
And
I
see
that
that's
what
counselor
no
realize
the
jesus
sounds
to
be
talking
about
inclusivity.
B
B
I
was
talking
to
the
administrative
assistant
if
she's
getting
concerned,
council
is
calling
in
orders
and
properly
recording
them.
So
then
sometimes
you
could
be
accused
of
not
doing
it.
I
didn't
put
it
that
way.
I
wanted
it
this
way.
So
what
we
would
like
to
see
the
office
is
all
new
business
introduced
by
any
counselor
must
be
deposited
with
the
administrative
assistant.
