During the recent city council meeting, members addressed several key issues, including a proposed robocall initiative and an ordinance regarding flag display regulations at City Hall.

Councilor Kelly introduced a motion requesting the mayor to issue a citywide robocall to inform residents about an upcoming public hearing on the repeal of the prohibition of non-medical marijuana establishments. Kelly confirmed that there would be no cost associated with the robocall, as the city is under contract for such services. However, the proposal faced opposition from Councilor Zambuto, who expressed concerns about setting a precedent for future robocalls and the potential for diminishing the effectiveness of the service. Other councilors echoed similar sentiments, leading to the motion's failure after a roll call vote, where the majority voted against it.

In a more favorable discussion, the council reviewed an ordinance establishing rules and regulations for the display of flags at City Hall. Councilor Argencio reported that the legislative affairs subcommittee viewed the ordinance positively. Following a roll call vote, the ordinance was approved with a majority in favor, signifying a step forward in formalizing flag display protocols.

The meeting concluded with the council moving on to the appointment subcommittee report, indicating ongoing legislative activities within the council.
