BAREC
was placed on the agenda by request of Cameron Colson. The meeting
was a long one and BAREC did not begin until after 10:00pm. While
some people left, many stayed and shared their opinions. Unfortunately,
the citizens were only given two (2) minutes to speak (normally,
people are given three minutes). This was not a banner meeting and some comments were not presented as well as they could or should have been, but such is a public meeting.
The
entire 27 minute section of the meeting is available via video below.
Additionally, we have broken-up the video into multiple segments,
allowing you to easily see specific testimony from the City Staff
and citizens, making it easier to hear the information you are interested
in. Simply click on the person and you will see and hear the video
stream to you computer. Hand-outs given at the meeting are linked
below each person. |
