The meeting also included a discussion about the removal of an agenda item due to the absence of individuals who were to present a proclamation. This item will be addressed in a future meeting.
Public comments were made by Michael Boutwell, a resident of Brighton, who raised concerns regarding his perceived infringement of First Amendment rights due to a reduction in speaking time from five minutes to three. He criticized the city’s reverse osmosis plant, labeling it a \"Ponzi scheme,\" and expressed frustration over issues related to eminent domain affecting his property. Boutwell's remarks highlighted ongoing tensions between residents and city officials regarding local governance and infrastructure projects.
