Mayor Briggs presented Cole Howley as Mayor for a day. 2. PUBLIC FORUM Cassandra Johnson, 14104 Hidden View Road NE: Here again tonight to discuss the County Road 42 reentry house. First, thank you to all the officer and first responders here tonight. I urge you to pause and reflect once again. Couple of questions for you to think about; Why did you run for city council? What qualities did you think you had or others told you that you had that would make you a good member of the city council to represent us as the community? Now really pause and reflect. Have your personal opinions, your actions, your communications since October regarding the 42 reentry house- how do they align? Have you represented us as the community? Have you listened? It is a sad reminder when I have to remind you that you represent us, those impacted. And yet I stand here again tonight, saddened and frustrated with both the county and the council for truly not feeling like we have been heard and listened to on our best interest. I urge you to pause and reflect on why you became a good leader and a good city council member and truly represent us. You have put countless hours and thoughts into this, and I guarantee we have 100 times more. Bill Mercer, Executive Director of the Scott County Historical Society: Its wonderful that Mayor Howley is here and what he said in his essay because that is what a historical society does. It talks about the traditions of the community. It looks to the diversity of all the people there. It helps our population and community acknowledge the past, embrace the present and get ready for the future. As the new Executive Director, that is what we are going to be doing. As you may know, most communities here in Scott County have their own historical society or arts committee. We will be working with each and every one of them to make sure we fully represent the entire community. Also a reminder that museums and historical societies are two things, beyond just the structure of the content we are a quality of life issue. We are an educational issue as well. We can do certain things that draw people and help people take pride in their community as well as being an economic stimulus because studies have showed that every dollar spent in an institution like that, it recirculates in the local community three to four times. Just because we are the Scott County 2 03 06 2023 City Council Meeting Minutes historical society, we are actually not part of the county administration. We are a 501c3. Looking forward to working with everyone. 3. APPROVAL OF AGENDA MOTION BY BURKART SECOND BY BRAID, TO APPROVE THE AGENDA WITH THE MODIFI- CATION OF ADDING ITEM 5I TO THE CONESENT AGENDA.
