YEP.SO I'M GOING TO CALL TO ORDER THE SPECIAL
[Town Council Work Session on March 1, 2021.]
TOWN COUNCIL MEETING OF MONDAY, MARCH 1ST, UM, CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER.CAN WE HAVE A ROLL CALL? MAYOR HOLLOWAY IS ABSENT.
COCKREL YEAR COUNCILMAN GILLESPIE, COUNCILMEN DELAY, COUNCILMAN MCFADDEN, COUNCILMAN MEZA COUNCILMAN THOMPSON HERE.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IF WE CAN ADD AN ITEM TO JUST THAT, UM, IF IT'S OKAY WITH THE TOWN COUNCIL TO DISCUSS THE TOWN COUNCIL, ADVANCE A DATE AND FIND OUT WHEN WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS.
UM, IS EVERYBODY OKAY WITH US ADDING THAT IN ANY WORK SESSION? WOULD WE CLOSE OUT THE PUBLIC MEETING AND GO INTO THE WORK SESSION TWO? OR DOES IT MATTER? IT IT'S JUST ADDED TO THIS? UH, I CAN JUST ADD IT TO THIS AGENDA, EVERYBODY OKAY.
SO MR. HICKS, I'M GONNA TURN IT OVER TO YOU.
WE'VE BEEN, UH, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO COORDINATE A GOOD TIME FOR US TO MEET FOR A DAY AND A HALF TO JUST TALK ABOUT OUR EVENTS AND SOME LIKE THE TYPICAL ITEMS WE'D WANT TO TALK ABOUT ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO GO ABOUT COMMUNICATING, WHERE WE SEE OUR NEXT ROLE AS IN THE VISION AND SOME OF THE GOALS WE WANT TO ACCOMPLISH, BUT WEEKENDS SEEM TO BE KIND OF TOUGH TO PULL EVERYONE TOGETHER.
SO I'LL BE PROPOSING MAYBE A MEETING ON A WEEKDAY, UH, BACK TO BACK AROUND FIVE TO EIGHT 39, KIND OF HAVE, UH, THOSE ITEMS DISCUSSED BECAUSE IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT MAY BE MORE CONVENIENT.
UM, AND JUST I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE VICE MAYOR FOR ANY OTHER DISCUSSION.
AND WHAT WOULD YOU ALL POSSIBLY CONSIDER WANTING TO DO IT? I WAS WONDERING HOW YOU ALL WOULD FEEL BECAUSE SINCE IN MARCH, WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING TO THE TWO OFFICIAL MEETINGS A MONTH THAT MAYBE BECAUSE WE ALREADY KIND OF HAVE MONDAYS THAT ASIDE IN OUR MINDS OR UP UNTIL NOW, WE HAD THAT MAYBE IF WE WERE GOING TO DO TWO EAT NIGHTS, MAYBE IT COULD BE A MONDAY, TUESDAY, OR A MONDAY, SOMETHING ELSE.
WHAT WAS, I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE.
CAUSE I FIGURED, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU ALL, BUT MONDAY IS LIKE A DAY THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY SET WEEKLY THINGS BECAUSE I KNOW USUALLY WE'RE HERE.
SO, UM, ANYBODY HAVE A PREFERENCE? THAT'D BE OKAY WITH A MONDAY, MONDAY.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? NO, I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO THE 15TH AND 16TH.
I MEAN, SO THE 29TH AND 30TH, RIGHT? I'LL DO WHATEVER AT THE 29TH AND 35 IS GOING TO TRY TO SET ASIDE.
CAUSE IT'S ACTUALLY OUR SPRING BREAK WEEK FRIENDS SOME WEEK.
UM, I'M JUST THROWING THIS OUT THERE.
WHAT ABOUT LIKE THE 17, 18 DOR 10TH, 11TH, OR? WELL, I DON'T KNOW, OR NINTH 10TH OR, I MEAN, I KNOW, I KNOW THE IDEA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, WE WANTED TO DO IT IN MARCH AND I, AND I KNOW, UM, MR. X HE'S ACCURATE THAT IT SEEMS LIKE WEEKENDS WERE GETTING TO BE TOUGH FOR EVERYBODY.
SO YEAH, MY, MY WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A LADY FROM THE 13TH TO THE 20TH.
WHAT ABOUT 23RD? 24TH? THAT'S A TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY.
I KNOW WE'RE GETTING FURTHER DOWN THE MONTH, BUT YEAH, COUNCILMAN GLASS TO BE SAID, JUST TELL HIM WHEN TO SHOW UP.
HE'S ALREADY TOLD HIM, HEY, BASICALLY.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY? I BASICALLY JUST MAKE ANYTHING WORK REALLY.
I MEAN, I LIKE TO THE MONDAY ROUTE IT'S, I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
I MEAN, IT'S GONNA, IT WOULD BE TOUGH FOR ME.
UM, TO HIT THREE NIGHTS, THREE LONG NIGHTS IN ONE WEEK IS REALLY TOUGH FOR ME TO DO IT WITH OTHER COMMITMENTS.
UM, SO WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT.
I LIKED THE IDEA OF STICKING WITH A MONDAY, TUESDAY, APRIL 5TH AND SIX, AS LONG AS WE'RE NOT STARTING UNTIL THE
[00:05:01]
TILL FIVE.SO OTHERWISE RIGHT NOW I'M PROBABLY TO DO THE WHOLE APRIL CALENDAR.
I'M GOING TO TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM AND SAY YES, EVEN THEN.
THAT WAS LIKE THE ONE
I'LL JUST, I'LL GO SOMEWHERE ON SPRING BREAK.
AND THEY SAID TUESDAY AT 5:00 PM WOULD BE THE START FOR THE TUESDAY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU? UH, I WOULD PREFER FIVE 30 AT LEAST.
CAUSE I MEAN, I'M COMING FROM WINCHESTER.
HOW LONG DO ALL WANT TO BE CUT OFF AT NINE 30? IT WAS FOUR HOURS.
AND THEN FINISH EARLY FINISH EARLIER.
YOU WERE GOING TO, WE WERE GOING TO ACTUALLY HAVE LIKE SOMEBODY COME TO WORK WITH US THOUGH, RIGHT? IS THAT, THAT'S WHY THEY'RE THERE.
THAT'S WHY THE TIME WAS, I THINK HE WAS TRYING TO AND LET'S WAIT.
AND SO WE, I'M GOING TO SHARE PROBABLY A WHILE.
WE'LL BE SHARING YOU INFORMATION BECAUSE NOT TO MUDDY THE WATER BY NO MEANS, BUT WE MAY NOT NEED AT 30TH.
CAUSE IT MAY BE SOMETHING WHERE WE WANT TO DIGEST AND GET MORE THOUGHTS AND THEN HAVE A ANOTHER ONE ANOTHER DAY INSTEAD OF BACK TO BACK.
THAT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE THAT IS A LOT TO ASK FOR YOU ALL ON A WEEKDAY.
SO WITH THAT IN MIND, JUST TO TRY IT, WOULD IT HAVE TO BE ON A MONDAY THEN WE WANT TO STICK TO A MONDAY.
I'M JUST REASON WHY I'M SUGGESTING IF WE CAN MOVE IT UP EARLIER.
THAT WAY IT GIVES ME MORE TIME TO PLAN WITH ED ON THE JOINT ONE.
IT'S JUST ONE DAY, LIKE ON THE 25TH WITH THE 25TH WORK, ALL I WAS GOING TO SAY LATER IN THE WEEK, LATER IN THE WEEK IS BETTER BECAUSE THEN IF FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, THEN YOU ONLY GOT TO GET THROUGH ONE MORE WORKDAY.
NO FRIDAY IF WE HAD TO, BUT IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE ANY OF THE FRIDAYS WORK LET'S DO 25TH, FIVE 30 TO NINE 30.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND A HALF ON A FRIDAY, MARCH 25TH, 2017 ST.
PATRICK'S DAY SAYING NO MOM AND SISTER.
IT'S MY DAUGHTER'S BIRTHDAY WITH SEVEN AND NINE.
THE EIGHT AND THEN HER DAUGHTERS.
SO WE'RE DOING THE 25TH, 25TH AND I'LL PROVIDE YOU ALL THAT THEN YOU AND THE NEXT OLDEST DAUGHTER.
AND YOU'LL LET US KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IT.
THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE ON THAT.
SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO WHAT WOULD'VE BEEN NUMBER TWO, BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY THREE.
