Thank
you
so
much
for
having
me.
I
really
appreciate
it
I
stopped
by
last
month,
but
we
couldn't.
We
couldn't
have
the
meeting
so
happy
to
be
back
been
looking
forward
to
it.
Just
before
I
get
started,
I
do
have
a
quick
presentation
I
want
to
run
through.
Has
anyone
had
a
chance
to
look
at
that
beforehand?
G
B
G
Okay
and
jerry,
thank
you
so
much
for
encouraging
me
to
attend
and
including
me
in
this,
as
as
you
just
heard,
jerry's
been
a
very
strong
partner,
one
of
my
one
of
my
best
members.
I've
been
involved
with
gasp
for
about
the
past
10
years
so
and
jerry
predates
me,
of
course,
so
very
happy
to
be
here
and
love
working
with
the
parks
and
rec
department.
E
E
G
So,
as
many
of
you
know,
gasps
has
been
around
for
a
while
we're
going
on
22
years,
which
is
just
mind-blowing
when
I
say
it
like.
I
said
I've
been
around
for
ten
and
I
was
so
lucky
to
have
come
into
a
coalition
that
was
very
well
run
and
had
already
had
a
legacy
of
of
excellence,
really
thanks
to
michelle
and
the
coalition
and
all
the
people
who
created
gas.
So
it's
a
privilege
to
serve
in
this
capacity
for
sure
a
little
bit
about
gasp.
G
We
have
a
a
broad
membership
and
we
have
12
sectors
of
the
community
that
are
represented
on
a
good
day.
So
you
know,
parks
and
rec
is
an
example
of
one
of
our
youth
serving
organizations,
but
we
draw
from
different
parts
of
the
community
parents,
youth,
educators,
law
enforcement,
media
businesses,
some
people
from
the
faith
sector,
people
involved
in
health
care,
mental
health
care
and
a
little
bit
of
everybody.
So
it
really
takes
all
hands
and
perspectives
and
expertise
to
make
what
we
do
work.
I'm
the
staff
person
for
gasp.
G
So
what
I'm
showing
you
now
is
a
quick
little
example
of
some
of
the
models
that
our
work
are
centered
around.
The
one
you
see
behind
me
is
our
little
strategic
prevention
framework
and
it's
a
big
deal
and
it's
the
cornerstone
of
everything
we
do
so
in
prevention.
We,
like
we
like
method.
We,
like
theory,
we
like
models
to
guide
our
work.
G
It
makes
it
easier
to
figure
out
if
we're
doing
the
right
things
and
the
reason
why
I'm
showing
these
models
is
to
talk
about
the
different
things
that
they
drive
home,
as
you
saw.
So
I've
got
the
continuum
of
care
model
here
on
the
bottom,
which
shows
the
connection
between
prevention,
treatment
and
recovery
or
maintenance,
and
then
I
have
more
of
an
ecological
model
over
here
and
that
talks
about
the
different
domains
of
the
individual,
the
family
in
the
community
right.
G
So
when
we're
thinking
about
public
health
and
evidence-based
prevention,
we're
looking
at
things
that
are
sustainable
right,
so
I
can
go
out
and
I
can
buy
the
greatest
pamphlets
and
put
up
tons
of
billboards
and
do
radio
advertisements
and
you
name
it.
I
can
spend
a
lot
of
money
on
a
lot
of
great
things
that
benefit
the
community.
But
what
happens
when
the
money
goes
away
right?
So
we're
always
looking
for
things
that
are
going
to
last.
That
can
affect
a
lot
of
people
and
last
so
back
to
this
continuum
of
care.
G
The
universal
strategies
that
we
typically
do
in
primary
prevention
benefit
everyone.
So
we're
not
just
isolating
certain
people,
we
really
want
everybody
to
be
impacted
positively
by
what
we
do
and
that's
definitely
in
the
background
of
our
of
our
work
and
then,
of
course,
emphasis
on
community
right.
We
we're
not
really
interested
in
just
helping
one
person
or
one
family,
perhaps
in
the
clinical
realms
they
would
do
that
or
more
of
an
intervention
or
a
treatment
program.
We
are
interested
in
broad
brush
community
level,
strategies
and
community
level
change.
G
So
this
is
a
very
busy
slide,
and
this
is
really
only
to
drive
home
more
theory
about
why
we
do
what
we
do.
First,
three
things
are,
you
know
the
softer
targets
that
we
use
in
prevention
still
important,
but
they
they
aren't
considered
the
gold
standard,
evidence-based
environmental
strategies
right.
So
I've
highlighted
the
ones
that
are
so.
These
are
the
real
heavy
hitters
and
once
again
these
don't
cost
a
lot
of
money.
G
Typically,
they
usually
require
a
lot
of
capacity
and
they
require
a
lot
of
support,
so
things
that
enhance
or
reduce
barriers,
change,
consequences,
change,
physical
design
or
modify
changes,
change
policies.
So
one
example
of
a
project
that
we
collaborated
with
parks
and
rec
on
last
year
was
our
park
signage
and
we
talked
about
smoke
and
vape
free
parks,
and
we
put
up
signs
in
the
different
recreation
areas
to
remind
patrons
of
that,
and
we
also
had
the
sign
translated
in
spanish
at
the
bottom.
G
G
G
G
So
some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
the
social
determinants
of
health
and
healthy
places,
and
how
does
policy
fit
in?
I
know
this
is
something
that
the
parks
and
recreation
department
cares.
A
lot
about
and
you've
sit
on
all
sorts
of
very
important
committees
having
to
do
with
improving
the
health
of
the
community,
health,
collaborative
and
different
work
groups
and
coalitions.
G
G
We
want
to
do
things
that
help
you,
so
policies
can
be
used
to
benefit
the
public
health.
Obviously
we
all
know
different
examples
of
how
that's
happened
on
the
state,
local
and
national
level
policy
can
be
formal
or
informal.
You
know
state
laws,
obviously
being
the
more
formal
state
and
federal
laws,
but
you
can
also
have
things
on
the
community
level
that
affect
norms
and
behavior,
and
certainly
you
know
the
reason
why
we
care
about
things
like
policy
is
that
it
can
change
community
conditions,
standards,
structures,
systems,
policies
right.
G
So
the
things
that
really
matter,
you
hear
a
lot
about
systemic
changes
and
then,
of
course,
as
as
I
mentioned,
a
lot
of
these
things,
don't
really
require
any
money.
You
know
so
some
prevention
things.
You
know
you
bring
in
a
fancy
curriculum
that
can
cost
money.
Policy
change
typically
doesn't
cost
anything,
and
it
can
really
make
a
lot
of
difference
so
again,
just
driving
home.
These
points
right,
so
large
amounts
of
people.
G
What
are
the
decisions
that
can
be
made
that
affect
most
people
and
do
the
most
good?
Obviously
you
always
want
to
prioritize
prioritize
those
place
matters.
Obviously
you
know
we
know
that
sometimes
based
on
where
you
live,
it
can
affect.
You
know
your
health
and
even
your
life
expectancy,
just
because
of
of
where
you
live
and
what
the
conditions
are.
Your
income
things
like
that
when
you
start
thinking
about
the
social
determinants
of
health,
it
can
get
a
little
scary
and
a
little
sad.
G
G
G
We
love
stuff
like
that,
and
then,
of
course
you
know
policy
once
again
cost
effective
right.
If
you
can
get
the
support,
it's
really
a
great
bang
for
your
buck
for
sure
and
it's
sustainable.
So
you
know,
like
I
mentioned
before,
with
certain
programs
and
things
like
that,
you
know
you
know
we
can
do
a
lot
of
great
work.
But
what
happens
when
your
money
runs
out?
G
I
can't
say
enough
good
things
about
our
partnership.
I
don't
know
what
I
would
do
without
parks
and
rec,
and
you
know
in
gasps
we're
also
always
talking
about
what
are
our
options
like?
What
what
are
we
looking
at?
You
know,
what
can
we
do
to
make
to
make
some
good
changes
and
what
kind
of
things
do
we
want
to
advocate
for,
and
so
some
things
that
we've
sort
of
batted
around
a
little
bit
are
you
know
the
impact
of
drug
and
alcohol,
free
ordinances
limits
on
restrictions
and
advertising
and
sponsorship.
G
So
what
happens
if
there's
a
community
festival
and
there's
a
business
in
town
that
wants
to
have
a
table
and
you
know
sample
their
product
or
sell
their
product?
Is
there
anything
on
paper
to
say
whether
or
not
they
can
or
can't?
Is
there
philosophy,
drug,
free
and
alcohol-free
events
and
facilities?
G
G
You
know
whatever
stage
of
the
game,
do
we
have
things
for
them
or
is
everything
kind
of
like
centered,
around
alcohol
things
like
that
some
community
events?
You
know
you
know
I
feel
like
everywhere
you
go,
there's
a
beer
tasting
or
a
wine
tasting
right.
So
are
we
being
mindful
of
that?
Is
that
something
that
we
we
care
about
when
we
prioritize
and
of
course
this
is
an
example
of
some
of
the
the
communities
in
connecticut
who
have
passed,
ordinances
for
smoke-free
recreation
areas
and
smoke-free
beaches
and
smoke-free
parks?
G
So
a
lot
of
communities
are
going
in
this
direction
and,
of
course,
you
know,
there's
all
different
things
coming
down
the
the
pike
in
terms
of
towns
having
to
make
decisions
about
things.
So
you
know
I
am
I
I
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
talk
about
this
a
little
bit
more.
If
anybody
has
any
questions.
A
Maybe
I
can
just
jump
in
here
for
a
second
carolyn
and
just
to
let
the
commissioners
know
part
of
what
you
know.
The
ask
here
I
think
carolyn's
looking
for
is
to
have
the
parks
and
rec
commission
advocate
for
some
type
of
policy
change
in
our
parks
or
in
our
programs.
Kind
of
like
that
last
slide
was
pointing
out
right
now.
The
park
rules
and
regulations
say
that
people
cannot
smoke
or
and
and
we've
kind
of
included
vaping
in
that
in
on
playgrounds
or
in
areas
where
children
are
present.
A
If
you
are
at
sutton
park
in
a
pavilion
you
can
smoke,
you
know
those
kinds
of
things
and,
and
you
know,
from
a
parks
and
rec
standpoint,
one
of
the
things
that
we
see,
one
of
our
pillars
is
health
and
wellness
and-
and
you
know,
partnering
with
folks
like
gas
for
the
health
improvement
collaborative
or
others,
you
know
we're
looking
to
ensure
that
our
public
spaces
are
healthy
for
everybody.
You
know
it's:
it
is
damaging
for
children
to
see
people
smoking.
A
You
know
I
mean
it
becomes
normative,
behavior
and
and-
and
people
are
more
likely
to
do
that,
I
think
most
people-
you
know
I
rarely.
I
personally
rarely
run
into
anybody
who
smokes
anymore.
You
know
very
few
people
that
I
know
smoked
and
you
know
I
don't
think
this
is
earth
shattering
and
I
think
those
people
who
do
really
really
take
it
into
their
personal
habits,
to
kind
of
make
sure
that
they're
doing
it
in
a
responsible
way.
A
A
That
would
be
a
big
step
forward
for
us
and
a
big
step
forward
for
the
community
in
terms
of
health
and
as
carolyn
also
noted,
you
know
we
we
a
long
time
ago,
made
a
decision
to
really
kind
of
reinforce
the
the
concerts
at
esker
point
beach
in
the
summer.
Those
of
you
who
went
there
15
20
years
ago
would
have
had
a
lot
different
experience
than
you
do
today.
We
might
we
we
market
them
as
alcohol-free
events,
and
we
tell
people
you
know,
no,
you
you
can't
drink
here.
A
A
You
know,
that's
if
you're
going
to
do
it,
you
better
be
sly
about
it,
because
that's
not
the
normative
behavior
here
and
we
want
to
kind
of
expand
that
you
know
we've
got
you
know
like
carolyn
was
mentioning
parks
that
have
host
big
events
and
things
like
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
people
that
are
coming
in
you
know
a
wine
and
liquor
company
comes
into
a
fall
festival
or
a
you
know.
A
cannabis
vendor
comes
into.
A
You
know
to
set
up
a
a
table
at
the
beach
concert,
or
something
like
that.
We
are
looking
to
kind
of
to
the
commission
to
help
us
in
in
setting
those
limits
and-
and
hopefully
those
limits
are,
you
know-
are
a
step
forward,
rather
than
kind
of
a
status
quo
or
a
step
back.
We
want
to
improve
and
and
and
make
it
more
clear
to
people
what
kind
of
behavior
is
expected
in
parks.
D
D
Just
looking,
I
was
just
looking
at
the
audience:
that's
why
I
brought
it
up,
but
anyway
you
might
want
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
and
include
that
in
it,
but
your
your
presentation
was
very
well
received.
Thank
you
so
much
and
as
a
former
member
of
gasp,
I
you
know,
agree
with
everything
that
you're
saying
so.
G
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
having
me
and
one
one.
Last
little
note,
I
did
hear
that
the
town
council,
I
believe
on
the
26th,
is
going
to
be
talking
about
a
potential
ban
of
using
cannabis
and
in
public
places.
I
did
just
hear
that
today,
so
that
is
coming
down
the
pike.
I
believe
I
don't
know
how
it's
gonna
gonna
go,
but
that's
another
little
thing.
I
heard
great.
A
A
Just
to
add
on
to
the
difference
the
discussion
about
park,
rules
or
ordinances
right
now
we,
the
the
no
smoking
in
around
playgrounds
and
where
children
are
present,
is
a
part
rule.
It's
not
an
ordinance,
it's
not
enforceable
by
law.
You
know
so
that
even
even
the
rules
that
we
have
don't
carry
the
you
know
they're
unenforceable.
A
So
you
know,
even
if
we
choose
to
go
the
the
route,
if
the
commission
were
to
say,
hey
we're
going
to
make
it
a
park
rule
to
make
parks,
smoke
free,
there's
still
another
step
where
we
could
use
the
commission's
advocate
advocacy
to
go
to
the
council
and
say
look.
This
is
something
that
we
would
like
to
make
enforceable.
We
want
an
ordinance
in
place
that
confirms
the
community
norm,
so
you
know
just
kind
of
on
the
hierarchy.
A
A
There
may
have
been
somebody
in
the
parade
that
kind
of,
and
just
as
an
example,
joe
de
la
cruz,
for
example,
joe
dela
cruz,
he's
a
he's
a
you
know.
A
state
representative,
he's
kind
of
a
founding
member
of
community
speaks
out.
He's
you
know,
got
his
company,
the
hillary
company
or
whatever,
and
he's
where
you
know
he's
probably
some
kind
of
a
youth
sport
person
too.
A
E
D
B
B
E
F
D
F
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
unmute
soon
enough
question
about
what
the
policies
are
at
the
community
center.
Regarding
kobe
precautions.
Right
now,
our
masks
still
required.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
signage
outside
the
senior
center,
but
but
there
was
some
question
about:
what's
going
on
at
the
community
center.
B
Yeah,
I
believe,
there's
signs
up
at
the
community
center
also
and
it
masks
are
required
indoors,
no
matter
what
the
activity
the
town
manager
is,
monitoring
where
we
are
as
far
as
being
in
the
was
it
red,
orange
and
yellow.
Last
week
I
haven't
looked
this
week,
but
the
report
from
last
week
we
were
in
the
orange
we
had
been
in
the
red.
B
You
know
he's
looking
for
us
to
get
back
into
the
yellow,
which
I
believe
is
five
cases
or
less
per
100
000,
and
when
that
happens,
and
we're
able
to
sustain
that
for
a
period
of
time,
he
didn't
elaborate
on
how
long
that
would
be
that
we
would
move.
He
would
lift
the
the
current
mass
required
mandate
in
groton.
He
is
hopeful
that
the
numbers
will
drop
once
children
ages,
5
to
11
are
able
to
to
get
vaccinated.
B
B
Covid
are
under
the
age
of
30.,
so
you
know
if
we
see
that
the
five
to
elevens
be
able
to
get
a
shot,
and
hopefully
the
the
number
or
percentage
of
people
that
make
that
decision
to
do
that
is
is
high
enough.
So
that
will
have
an
impact
and
bring
the
overall
covert
rate
down
and
we'll
be
able
to
go
back
to
not
wearing
a
mask
indoors.
It
certainly
is
hurting
our
programs.
B
A
B
We
have
a
building
monitor
there
and
if
people
are
not
wearing
the
mask,
you
know
they
politely
offer
them
a
mask.
You
know,
because
some
people
and
I've
done
it
myself,
not
at
the
community
center,
but
you
know
forgotten
a
mask
and
walked
in
and
like
oh,
you
know,
and
so
we
have
masks
available
for
folks
and
then
you
know
if
they
refuse,
we
politely
ask
them
to
to
wear
the
mask
or
to
wait
outside,
and
I
I
have
not
been
made
aware
of
any
issues
with
people
refusing
to
to
wear
masks.
B
B
B
So
there
has
been
a
gap
in
the
crosstown
trail,
which
starts
all
the
way
at
bluff
point
and
goes
to
townsend,
which
is
an
avalonia
owned
piece
of
property.
It's
a
six
mile
trail
and
there
there
was
a
bridge
at
one
time
well
before
I
got
here.
I
couldn't
even
tell
you
how
many
years
ago
and
I
think
it
got
washed
away
and
there
was
attempts
to
build
temporary
bridges
and
when
the
school
project
was
started.
B
So
they
did
a
town
engineer
designed
the
bridge
and
the
contractor
that
was
responsible
for
constructing
the
school
built.
The
footbridge
it
was
completed,
maybe
about
three
weeks
ago
and
we're
having
a
ribbon
cutting
event
on,
like
I
said
tuesday,
at
five
o'clock.
So
it's
the
folks
at
the
trails.
Coordinating
task
force
are
pretty
excited
and
it
now
provides
benefits
to
the
students.
B
The
kids
at
the
school
can
now
get
into
bb
pond
park
and
perhaps
do
some
environmental
education
without
having
to
walk
out
out
onto
the
into
the
next
neighborhood,
and
it's
also
provides
a
safe
way
for
kids
from
the
neighborhood
to
to
get
access
to
the
school.
And
it's
also
a
second
egress.
If,
if
there
was
an
event
on
fishtown
road,
it
would
allow
the
students
kind
of
a
safe
exit
out
of
the
school
property,
a
second
exit.
So
that's
that's
coming
up
on
again
on
the
19th
at
at
five
o'clock.
B
Well,
actually,
next
tuesday,
during
the
day
from
1
to
3
at
groton
city
hall,
there
is
an
opportunity
to
share
with
the
I
I
know
it's
the
planning
department
in
the
town
and
I'm
assuming
it's
the
planning
department
over
in
the
city,
your
thoughts
and
opinions
on
how
the
harper
money
should
be
spent,
and
that's
the
you
know
the
recovery
money
that
the
town
has
been
allocated.
I
think
8.5
million,
some
of
that
money
has
already
been
allocated.
B
Some
of
it
went
to
legionlight
health
district,
some
of
it's
gone
to
social
services,
but
there
is
a
sizable
chunk
of
money.
I
think
maybe
seven
and
a
half
million,
that
the
planning
department
is
interested
in
hearing
what
people,
how
people
want
to
see
that
money
used
and
there's
there's
a
number
of
different
they're
calling
them
buckets.
B
B
B
B
I
think,
they're
going
to
have
like
three
stations
set
up
one's
going
to
be
a
map
of
the
town,
and
you
can
kind
of
identify
areas
where
you
think
improvements
are
to
be
made,
there'll
be
another
station
where
you
can
there'll
be
like
post-it
notes,
and
you
can
write
down
things
that
you
would
like
to
see.
You
know,
town,
invest
in
and
we've
the
parks
and
recreation
department
has
a
list
of
potential
projects
on
the
website
and
every
time
we
do
a
social
media
post.
B
B
We
want
to
redo
the
surface
at
the
hockey
rink
and
we
want
to
widen
the
walking
path
at
pocono
plains
and
put
in
lighting
so
that
we
can
extend
the
use.
We
saw
a
tremendous
increase
in
the
use
of
poconic
planes
in
that
walking
path
and
there's
a
number
of
other
projects
reinvesting
in
in
the
skate
park
in
in
sutton
and
there's
four
or
five
other
projects.
So
I
would
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
all
of
your
contacts
and
ask
that
they.
B
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
those
that
believe
in
in
what
our
department
is
trying
to
do
to
try
to
advocate
for
for
us
to
to
get
some
money.
I
think
in
ledger
the
the
council
committed
000
to
investments
in
parks
and
recreation,
and
that
was
redoing,
some
basketball
and
tennis
courts.
So
I
I'm
hoping
that
groton
will
make
that
investment
or
or
even
more,
in
some
of
the
facilities
that
have
been
neglected
over
the
years.
C
B
C
B
B
B
A
B
C
C
B
Yes,
so
golf
course
play
remains.
Strong
season
will
be
seasonally
adjusted,
so
we
are
because
it's
not
dark
until
you
know
8
30
9
o'clock
at
night
now
golfers
can't
get
on
the
course
after
work
and
and
get
in.
You
know
a
good
round
of
golf.
So
after
about
2
2
30
play
has
dropped
off
just
because
by
6
30.
It's
so
dark
that
you
can't
really
play.
But
we
are
you
know.
Last
year
we
had
our
best
year
in
at
least.
A
B
B
D
Yeah,
if
you're
going
north
past
the
marriott,
you
go,
take
a
right
on
the
road
adjacent
to
their
parking
lot.
You
go
down,
maybe
you
go
down
two
or
three
tenths
of
a
mile
on
the
left,
there's
a
trail
that
we
walked
today
and
it
says
state
property.
I
was
just
wondering
if
groton
wreck
has
anything
to
do
with
this
city.
B
B
So
it's
all
very
encouraging
because
for
a
while
there
was
not
really
any
discussion
about
putting
a
trail,
locating
a
trail
on
the
property,
but
they
have
started
discussions
about
that
and
are
looking
at
options.
So
we
we
are
encouraged
by
that,
so
that
would
be
close
to
where
you're
talking
about,
but
not.
D
B
Oh
yeah,
we
do
that's
part
of
the
oats.
The
outdoor
adventure
traveling
seniors
program,
yeah.
They
they
go
for
a
hike
almost
every
month
in
different
locations
and
grant
utilities
has
been
very
open
and
receptive
to
having
groups
to
have
that
group.
You
know
hike
around
the
hike
around
the
reservoir.
B
B
B
All
right,
let's
see
athletic
fields,
task
force
yep.
I
think
that's
next,
so
the
athletic
fields
task
force
and
jerry
kind
of
mentioned
this.
We
they
are
going
to
the
council
to
make
a
presentation
on
the
26th
they're.
Looking
they're
going
to
present,
I
think
three
different
options
that
the
landscape
architect
has
been
working
on.
B
It
could
potentially
impact
the
number
of
fields,
but
it
also
might
provide
a
revenue
source
to
help
offset
some
of
the
costs
that
would
be
associated
with
tearing
the
clochester
building
down
and
constructing
fields.
So
they
they
just
want
to
get
a
sense
from
the
council
what
their
wishes
moving
forward
and
that
would
that
council's
decision
would
impact
the
rfp
that
the
task
force
is
trying
to
put
together
because
if
they
decide
well,
yes,
we're
going
to
allow
some
some
mixed
use
along.
B
B
You
need
to
give
us
a
date
of
when
you
want
us
to
come
visit.
So
we've
got
a
meeting
on
monday
with
the
folks
that
have
been
inputting
all
the
information
to
find
out
exactly
where
the
holes
are
and
and
based
on
that
and
whatever
work
we
have
to
finalize
to
get
this
done,
we'll
be
sending
out
a
couple
of
date,
requests
to
have
a
either
a
virtual
or
an
in-person
visit.
I'm
not
sure
that
they've
made
that
decision
yet
coming
up
sometime
between
march
and
june.
B
So
as
soon
as
we
have
those
dates,
I
will
let
you
folks
know
but
yeah
all
of
a
sudden.
It
got
very
real.
It's
like
not
that
we
haven't
been
working
hard,
you,
you
know,
we've
all
been
working
hard
towards
this,
but
now
you
know,
there's
there's
a
a
date
that
we've
got
to
commit
to
and
be
ready
for
so
and
all
of
the
work
has
to
get
submitted.
I
think
10
weeks
before
so
something
so
an
inspection
in
march
you
go
february
january.
B
E
B
B
B
I
know
the
conservation
committee
has
supported
this,
their
suggested
name,
but
it's
really
up
to
the
parks
and
rec
commission
to
make
a
decision
about
whether
they
want
to
make
that
recommendation.
And
then
I
would
go
to
the
council
on
the
26th
and
make
that
recommendation
that
the
council
accept
that
name
change.
B
B
B
C
B
B
B
C
C
B
B
C
E
E
B
E
B
B
B
D
D
Guess:
yeah
yeah,
I
get
that
you
know
I,
you
know
every
every
business
every
the
district,
every
every
place
has
very
competent
people
who
can
fill
positions
but
to
imply
a
succession
plan
when
it's
when
it
really
is
an
evaluation
plan.
You
know
and
an
evaluation
plan.
I
I
don't
know
it's.
I
just
don't
like
that
name
right.
But
that's
that's
one.
That's
me
and
that's
my
opinion.
B
B
E
B
B
B
C
B
C
B
C
Having
heard
the
presentation
from
carolyn
and
jerry
regarding
gasp
and
the
request
for
support
for
an
ordinance
okay,
I
just
wonder
if
we
need
to
discuss
that
further
either
tonight
or
at
our
next
meeting
and
I'll
I'm
a
little
hesitant.
I
need
to,
I
think,
probably
think
about
it
a
bit,
but
in
our
current
environment,
where
there's
so
much
pushback
about
vaccination
and
mass.
C
B
Is
there
anything
the
commission
would
like
me
to
do
in
the
interim
as
far
as
providing
information
that
may
help,
would
you
like
to
see
sample
ordinances
or,
and
I'm
not,
you
know,
pushing
that,
I'm
just
throwing
that
out
as
I
can
try
to
pull
together.
Whatever
information,
you
all
think
might
be
helpful
in
making
a
decision.
C
F
Also,
I'm
curious
when
an
ordinance
such
as
that
is
made
ordinances.
Don't
really,
I
think
jerry
alluded
to
this.
They
don't
do
too
much
if
there
isn't
some
kind
of
plan
in
place
to
enforce
them
and
make
sure
that
you
know
it's
not
just
you
know,
put
a
speed
limit
sign
up
and
there's
denver
police
there.
People
aren't
going
to
follow
it.
You
know
it
it's
something.
We
need
to
think
about
too,
because
we
don't
want
to
put
ordinances
in
place
without
having
some
kind
of
plan
for
monitoring
and
enforcing.
B
C
F
I
wonder
if
we
can
start
out
with
something
gentler
and
just
put
signage
out
that
says
it
is
suggested
that
you,
in
light
of
the
fact
that
this
is
used
for
this,
you
know
some
kind
of
wording.
Maybe
we
can
see
if
other
towns
are
doing
that
saying
please
don't
smoke
here
and
perhaps
that
might
do
something
along
those
lines
or
vaping.
You
know
that
kind
of
thing
just
to
put
out
there
that
it's
not
the
best
environment
to
do
it,
but
without
putting
on
an
audience
ordinance
at
this
place.
B
Yeah,
well,
we
might
get
a
clearer
picture
of
what
it
sounds
like.
The
council
is
going
to
have
a
discussion
on
the
night
of
the
26th,
so
we
may
have
a
better
idea
at
our
november
meeting
of
which
way
the
council
is
is
leading
and-
and
they
actually
may
take
the
lead
on
this,
and
it
may
not
take
any
type
of
action
from
the
parks
and
recreation
department.
C
E
B
F
B
C
B
Okay,
I
mean
we
do
have
the
hybrid
option.
I
I
did
that
last
week
for
the
groton
parks
foundation,
so
we
had
some
people
in
person
and
we
had
some
people
on
a
screen.
So
you
know
we
can
do
go
that
route.
Also,
if
that's
and
then
that
I
guess
fran
is
comfortable
and
tom
and
elizabeth
are
are
comfortable,
so
we
could.
If
you'd
like
we
can
go,
go
that
route.
F
I
will
say
I
mean
I
don't
know
if
we'll
have
choices
like
you
said
it
might
be
dictated
what
will
happen,
but
from
the
experience
of
someone
who
tried
to
run
many
things
in
a
hybrid
situation,
it
is
more
difficult
that
way,
because
the
people
who
are
virtual
really
have
trouble
hearing
what
everyone
is
saying
who's
in
person,
unless
everyone
who's
in
person
has
a
mic
on
too.
But
you
can't
all
have
your
mics
on
in
the
same
room,
because
you'll
get
feedback.
E
B
Yeah,
I
think
elizabeth,
I
told
you
that
we
had
somebody
that
was
interested
and
I
called
her
back
and
she
had
submitted
her
papers
to
run
for
the
rtm
so
yeah
so
yeah.
It
was
a
a
fleeting
opportunity
of
about
24
hours,
48
hours
and
I
I
wished
her
well.
I
hope
she
didn't.
I
said
I
hope
you
don't
get
elected
and
then
and
then
you
can
join
the
commission,
but
so
we'll
we'll
have
to
see.
