AND I'D LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, SAY THE PLEDGE OF THE ALLEGIANCE.
PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE VOTE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHICH IT STANDS UNDER GOD, LIBERTY, JUSTICE.
AND, UH, CINDY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CALL THE ROLL PLEASE, SIR? MR. ALFORD? HERE.
AND WE HAVE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES.
THERE WAS A REGULAR MEETING ON OCTOBER 24TH, 2022.
IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REGULAR MEETING MINUTES OF THAT DATE? NEITHER MR. ALFRED NOR I WERE A MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE.
ALEX, WERE YOU ON THAT? I WAS NOT ON THE COMMITTEE EITHER OR EITHER.
UM, SO, AND WHEN REVIEWING THIS, UH, WITH KRISTA, SHE SAID TO MOVE THROUGH IT SO THAT WE'VE MADE AN ATTEMPT.
MAC, DO YOU HAVE THOUGHTS ON HOW WE ADDRESS THIS? I'M SORRY.
THE ONLY PERSON WHO WAS ON THIS COMMITTEE, UM, DURING THE TIME PERIOD OF THE MINUTES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO APPROVE WAS MYSELF.
UM, UNLESS THERE'S ANY REASON WHY YOU THAT MAY BE INACCURATE WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.
THEN, UM, I WILL APPROVE THEM.
UM, TO THIS COMMITTEE, PRESENT THAT VOTING MEMBER, NOT A VETTING MEMBER.
THE MINUTES CAN STAND APPROVED.
THERE ANY OBJECTIONS? NO OBJECTION.
ARE THERE ANY APPEARANCES BY CITIZENS WHO WISH TO ADDRESS THIS COMMITTEE? ALL RIGHT.
CINDY, HAS ANYONE SIGNED UP OR WHETHER THERE ARE ANY COMMENTS THROUGH THE PORTAL? ANYTHING ALONG? NOPE.
THEN WE CAN GO ON TO NEW BUSINESS.
WE HAVE A CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED COMMUNITY SERVICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING DATES FOR THE CALLEN YEAR 23.
IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MEETING DATES? SO MOVED.
I'LL SECOND, UH, MADAM CHAIR, IF I COULD SPEAK.
I HAVE A STANDING COMMITMENT, UM, AT NINE 30 IN THE MORNINGS, UM, TO A CONDITIONING CLASS.
UM, AND IF THIS MEETING AND, UM, PUBLIC PLANNING ALSO MEETS AT 10 O'CLOCK, IT MEANS FOR THIS WEEK, I'M OUT TWO CLASSES A WEEK AND I HAVE A PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO WELLNESS.
SO I RESPECTFULLY A REQUEST IF WE COULD CONSIDER AN AFTERNOON TIME, UH, UM, I, I COULD, UH, I COULD COME IN 11, BUT I'LL COME IN MY GYM CLOSE AND AS, AS I INDICATED, I'LL BE HAPPY TO SIT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE END AND AWAY FROM YOU.
BUT IF WE COULD CONSIDER MEETING, UM, IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF IN THE MORNING, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
ANY DISCUSSION? IT WON'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO ME.
I'M VERY HAPPY TO MAKE A CHANGE.
UM, MY ONLY, UM, COMMENT IS, UH, 10 O'CLOCK HAS WORKED WELL.
UM, THE MORNING HOURS HAS WORKED WELL IN THE PAST FOR ME.
UM, AND I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN PERSONAL, UM, COMMITMENTS, BUT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS MIGHT IMPACT STAFF AND THEIR ABILITY TO, UM, MEET THIS ASSIGNMENT.
ANY COMMENTS FROM MADAM CHAIRWOMAN? UH, STAFF WILL BE PREPARED WHATEVER TIME COUNSEL AND THE COMMITTEE WANTS TO MEET, YOU KNOW, WE JUST NEED TO KNOW THE SCHEDULE IN ADVANCE SO THAT WE CAN PREPARE ACCORDINGLY.
BUT IT, IT'S REALLY UP TO THE COMMITTEE AS TO WHEN THEY WANT TO CHOOSE TO MEET, AND WE WILL ADJUST ACCORDINGLY.
UM, IS THERE A SUGGESTED TIME AT TWO O'CLOCK ON MONDAY? EXCEPT MONDAY? I ASSUME THERE ARE NO OTHER COMMITTEES THAT ARE SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY OR MONDAY AFTERNOON
[00:05:01]
IN PARTICULAR.IF THERE ARE, THE WAY THAT WE TYPICALLY DO KIND OF A HIERARCHY OF PREFERENCE IS TOWN COUNCIL'S GONNA TAKE PRESENCE OVER EVERYTHING ELSE.
A STANDING COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL COMES NEXT, THEN IT COMES TO OUR BOARDS, AGENCIES, AND COMMISSIONS.
AND SO WE KIND OF WORK IN THAT ORDER.
IF THERE DOES HAPPEN TO BE A CONFLICT, THEN WE WILL WORK WITH THEM TO READJUST THAT SCHEDULE, DEPENDING UPON THAT HIERARCHY.
ANY ADDITIONAL CLAPS? PERSONAL APPEALS MEETS FOURTH MONDAY.
THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS MEETS THE FOURTH MONDAY.
SO THAT IS A
I MEAN, ANOTHER OPTION WOULD BE TO, TO MAKE THE TWO COMMITTEE MEETINGS, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT WEEKS, UM, OR, OR, UM, YOU KNOW, WE COULD TRY A WEDNESDAY OR, BUT PLANNING COMMISSION MEETS, SEE, THEY, THEY NOW MEET, UH, ON A WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, NOT IN THE MORNING, I BELIEVE IS RIGHT.
I'M LOOKING AT MR. ALFRED WHO SERVED ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION TO REMEMBER THEIR SCHEDULE.
SO I'M JUST GOING TO, UM, JUMP IN AND CONTINUE WITH MY COMMENT THAT THIS TIMEFRAME HAS, UM, 10:00 AM HAS WORKED WELL, UM, OVER THE PAST.
AND, UM, I'M COMFORTABLE WITH IT IN TERMS OF MY OBLIGATIONS TO TOWN COUNCIL, WHICH COMES FIRST AND TO THIS COMMITTEE.
SO, UM, I'M IN FAVOR OF RE UH, RETAINING THE 10:00 AM TIMEFRAME.
IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION, I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE, UH, THE MOTION AND, AND APPROVE THE DATES CONTINUING AT 10:00 AM UM, TIMEFRAME.
SO, UH, CAYA, YOU CAN CALL THE ROLL, SIR.
HAS THERE BEEN A SECOND? UH, YES, THERE WAS, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
STEVEN, MR. ALFRED AND ALEX, RIGHT? YEAH.
DISCUSSION OF, UH, PERSONNEL MATTERS.
UH, CINDY, I UNDERSTAND WE NEED, UH, TO ENTER INTO AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

UH, JUST, JUST OUTTA CURIOSITY, I, I KNOW, UM, WE HAVE A STAFF ATTORNEY HERE, UH, MR. UH, MACK
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE US TRY TO BE AS OPEN AND TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE, AND, UM, IS IT POSSIBLE TO AT LEAST SAY THAT WE HAVE A, A CERTAIN NUMBER OF VACANCIES ON CERTAIN BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS? UM, AND, AND THE DISCUSSION EXECUTIVE SESSION, IF I UNDERSTAND IT, IS ABOUT PARTICULAR PEOPLE TO APPOINT TO A BOARD OF COMMISSION, SO WE COULD AT LEAST TELL THE PUBLIC HOW MANY VACANCIES WE MIGHT BE CONSIDERING IN FOR WHAT BOARD OF COMMISSION? SO WOULD THAT BE PERMISSIBLE? UH, IF, IF IT'S PERMISSIBLE LEGALLY, THEN I, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE CHAIR AND THE COMMITTEE IF WE COULD AT LEAST SAY THAT PART SO FOLKS KNOW.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION, UM, HAS THREE OPENINGS THAT WE ARE TRYING TO FILL.
UM, ONE SEAT IS FOR AN ATTORNEY AND TWO ARE AT LARGE SEATS.
ACCOMMODATION TAX ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
