Approval of Meeting Minutes from July 10, 2023

Mr. Brown said he had read through the minutes and found them to be fine. Mr. Brown made a motion seconded by Mr. Gere to accept the minutes as written. Mrs. Biegel said that she can appreciate how difficult the minutes are to put together from a very difficult meeting, but she said there are a few paragraphs that she thinks are a little bit too generalized and she personally would like the opportunity to add some details. She said she would like to reference what she read from the code, and she watched the video. Mrs. Biegel said she would like to make a few corrections and get them out to the Board for their review. She said that we have nothing else to do tonight, she feels this is important. She read from different sections of the minutes, and she would like to have it on record with more detail. She said she feels it’s important to cite what she said, and she knows Jackie has a very busy schedule and this is probably not her (Jackies) priority and she would be very happy to help. Mr. Walton asked if the video is a public record and Mr. Hastings said we are required to have both the video and the minutes. Mrs. Biegel said these are not significant changes, just some little things that she said matter to her. Mr. Hastings said the Board can take suggestions and see what she comes up with. Mrs. Biegel said that under the new business (Martin Secord) there is another paragraph that needs minor changes.

Mr. Walton made a motion to table the minutes, and this was seconded by Mrs. Biegel. Mr. Brown said he rescinds his motion to approve. All in favor.
