BOARD OF ALDERMEN Alderman Super— In the years I have been on this board, I have
never seen an election like this last one, with the attempts to not
only sponsor a candidate but to smear our mayor. The money
that was spent may be proof that they are not going to go away. It
may be in our best interest to ask staff to explore digital recordings
for video and audio. City Attorney Paul Campo remarked that the
use of live streaming is done in many cities. The Board would
like staff to look into options.
Alderman Thatcher—Asked to look at video conferencing with the
options, if looking into changes with our system. 1 also agree with
Alderman Super regarding the complexion of the election but by
far the feedback from the constituents that I work with was very
positive about our accomplishments over the last 2-5 years. New
residents are very excited to be in our community. It was a great
experience to be at the poles all day and we had a good voter
turnout. We are being recognized in the metro area.
Alderman Biondo—Nothing to report.
Alderman Bowman — Nothing to report.
Alderman Pruett— Nothing to report.
Alderman Homer— Nothing to report.
MOTION TO ADJOURN Alderman Bowman moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:39 p.m.,
