Do I have a motion? Second. Motion by Council Member Henson. Second by Council Member Scotchfield. Any discussion? Okay. Seeing none, all in favor say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay. Next is information only from the mayor. Next on the agenda, announcements. If any council members have announcements, please log in. Okay. Seeing none. Next up, we got public comment. We have two individuals signed up. First is Ms. Susan Delph. Welcome, and you have three minutes before the council. If you'll state your name and address for the record. Okay. My name is Susan Delph. My address is 210 East High Street. Thank you. I'm here today to come back after a meeting we were here last time about. I talked to one of the council members afterwards. She asked me why I wasn't at Salvation Army. The reason why is because it's a lot of BS over there. Too many rules and regulations. We have more than one cell phone. They make us just throw away the others. They also make us throw away our laptops, too, iPads. How are we going to get a job if we don't have those? They won't let us even plug in stuff. So most of us probably leave because of all the rules and regulations and all the classes we are forced to take, which is no good for us. And the counselors there, they're no good either. They will ride us up and kick us out the door for no reason. They break up families, which is no good. And 99% of us is out on the street today because of them. And there's constantly going to be that. I'm afraid so. That is one of the reasons I'm not there. Because every time I go there, this is too tough. They make you stay there. I don't mind doing the chores. The food's not that great. Last time I heard, somebody said they had maggots coming out of their meat after they cut it up. Well, who wants to eat that? And the other thing is, last week I got a big thing underneath my belt. Something to reckon with right now. I had a call from the National Association of Professional Women, which I'm a member of right now, which you know is a big thing. So, you know, I'm going to be here all I can to help out. And you're going to have to listen to me. You guys like it or not, we are homeless. We are trying to get on our feet. It's not easy. It's like the 1930s all over again. as you can imagine. You are just one paycheck away from being homeless. That's the truth. You could lose your job anytime. Next election come up, you might not get elected again. You might be in where we are. You might be sitting at the community end, the Hope Centers, or Salvation Army. Some of you I see making it out here on the street. Some of them I don't. Ms. Duff, you have your time's up, but you're welcome to wrap up, if you can say, including statements. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Bernard McCarthy, if you'll state your name and address. For the record, my name is Bernard McCarthy. My address is 515 Harry Street. I want to say, first off, there is the lid to a water valve where on Limestone Street right at 5th that keeps popping out of its socket. And I've put it back several times as I've walked across that intersection on my way to a phone booth and back. But it still keeps bouncing out. Something is wrong there. I mean, admittedly, this is about this big in diameter, whereas a manhole would be much bigger. But it's still a problem that it keeps bouncing out of its place. The contractor putting in the new water line, the patching that they've done to restore the pavement seems way thinner than what they dug out. I hope that's not the permanent patch that I'm seeing. And I also want to point out that if you really want to untangle traffic jams, we do need to build more roads. It is possible to build our way out of congestion despite the environmentalist claims to the contrary, but what's not possible is widening our way out. You can't expect a few really huge roads to do all the work. you especially can't expect all the traffic to only use roads that no one lives on because they are either access controlled or lined with strips of commercial development. We need streets that connect. We need streets to connect across neighborhood boundaries, even if all the neighborhoods object. We need streets to connect across zoning boundaries, even though some of our land use planners might not like that. If you really are serious about trying to reduce vehicle miles of travel, a street system that connects is the way to do it. I realize that neighborhoods think people cutting through their turf is a problem, but from my standpoint, I see it as a solution. And I'm sure most of the neighborhoods hate me, but it's still the truth. Thank you, Mr. McCarthy. Next on our agenda, is there anyone else who wish to speak to council?
