SubscribeSummary
Council members said the deed for the new police station had been received and that keys were delivered and locks changed; a public commenter exchanged heated remarks with councilors about a missed meeting and the council then entered executive session with no votes planned upon return.
Council members reported that the deed to the new police station had been received and that keys were delivered by a person identified in the record as Mr. Baker. A locksmith changed the locks and staff have been marking interior layout plans in preparation for a scheduled move; a meeting with streets staff was noted to assist with moving logistics.
During the public-comment period an unidentified commenter sharply criticized council members for a missed meeting and said, "I think you're an idiot," while disputing whether notifications had been made. Council members responded that they had communicated and called absent members; the exchange included back-and-forth about who had told whom they would be absent.
After public comment the council announced it would move into executive session and stated that no votes would be taken immediately upon return.
Next steps
Council indicated staff would continue move preparations for the police station, and the clerk/staff said they would email council members with follow-up information (including meter delivery status for a separate agenda item). The body closed the public portion of the meeting to conduct executive session business as announced.
