What's up city council, my name is any mouse. My beautiful address is 456 Ocean Drive Oldsmar, so the thing is I'm really into jet skiing. All my friends are who doesn't love jet ski so one day my friend and I got this outrageous idea and we were like hey. We should start a jet ski rental business for my dog, so that more peeps King in on the action is outrageous to serve around then. So my dog is 190 feet long and could hold a whole bunch of jetties.

F

We could be like fell today with just two years, and that would be totally awesome right. So so I just need a business permit to rent those out of my 195, but dock it could be totally I could totally pick up helmet and lifejacket, so everybody could be super safe safety. First I could I can even let all of the cool council dudes come out anytime. You want to go cruising, it wouldn't. Wouldn't that be super fun. I could be like it could be like an old, smart, City, Council jetski party, I'm I'm.

F

Thinking like we could make a super chill hours of operation, not too early, don't want to wake up the lake sleepers and plus I'm awake sleeper and the D, and then we could stay like everyone has to return.

F

My their jet ski see my awesome 195-foot dog by sundown, just think of all the business, so local restaurants will get to I'm thinking that totally hungry people looking for a place at their simmer zooming around the bay on jet skis, a jet ski I, hope you're, taking my dream and will approved a business permit for me thanks and goodbye.

F

On behalf of the third grade class at outsmart Elementary, we would like to present you with a certificate of excellent.

F

Miss Korea, we will the third grade class of old, smart elementary school, truly appreciate everything that you do to help us grow as learners. Your time, compassion and dumb-dumbs encouraged us each day.

F

Some members of third of the third grade class of oldsmar elementary have proposed to change the school mascot. Currently, the school mascot is an owl. If approved to change. The school will proceed by voting on a new school animal mascot. We will now hear from a few school representatives on this topic.

F

Good morning councilmembers, my name is Kendall long and I'm the principal Oldsmar elementary school. My name is Ashley Rick I am the vice principal of go tomorrow, elementary school. We feel that we need to. We feel that the school mascot should be changed. Our school mascot has been the owl for a really long time. You feel that it does not currently represent our school strengths.

F

Our staff and our students make up a strong part of the community and should be represented by an animal that shows our strength for learning our school mascot should be a tiger or an elephant. Not now our staff and our students also have an issue with our current school mascot, because it's hard to find out all things they're nocturnal after all, so unless you're shopping at night, it's almost impossible. It's important that our staff and our students be able to have a acessories for school days and events.

F

Thank you for listening to opinion about why we should change the school mascot. We hope that council, members and citizens of autumn Elementary School will take our opinion into consideration. When you make your decision.

F

There are any questions or concerns about the mascot change from the councilmembers.

F

Good morning, council members, my name is Daniel Tom, it's my name is Nathan Rubino.

F

Let the school should stay an owl. Our school mascot has been an owl for a really long time. If you change the mascot, it will change the O's. My elementary history, the owl, is.

C

Printed, all over all over the our school, it is important.

F

Symbol for all all the community and students at all tomorrow, Elementary, if mattress Oh for hours, they're, both for old, smart Oh, smart I'll stress, makes sense it's important to consider how much money that we would have to spend to change them school mascot. We would need new signs in and around the school. We would be new shirts, yearbooks and even new car magnets.

F

Where would we get this money? What do we have enough to pay for all of it? We would need you for listening to our concerns about why it's important not to change the school mascot. We hope that you that council members and citizens of Baltimore Elementary School will take your opinion to consider consideration when you make your dishes.

F

Got change from councilmembers I.

C

Would like to help I would like for the council to take into consideration the fact that the school mascot represents all of Ultima Elementary, not just the third-grade class. Also, it is important that we think about what events the mascot would be a part of just.

F

To recap: we have been given a lot of information from both sides. I agree with Dylan that we need to keep in mind that our decision affects Ultima elementary school as a whole, not just third grade class.

F

Another animal we've been representing my school, they impact our school in a positive way. It may also affect the community that we have built with this symbol. Thank you for your concerns. We will now move to voting.

F

Please be sound as we go. I won't get. One vote is to show their vote by raising their hand. Please only raise one hand the clerk will calf count. The votes, please keep your hands raised high until voting has been completed. Are there any questions.

F

Please raise your hand if you approve of the mascot to be changed.

F

Please raise your hand if you do not approve of the mascot to be change.
