'Light up North Baltimore' hailed successful; Fire Department to collect Toys-for-Tots; Boy Scouts observe meeting
Summary
Councilors praised the recent 'Light up North Baltimore' event and urged downtown shopping. The Fire Department will collect Toys-for-Tots on an upcoming Saturday (date in minutes unclear). Mayor Aaron Patterson introduced Larry Bateson and four Boy Scouts observing the meeting.
Paula Beaupry, chair of Economic and Community Development, told the committee that the 'Light up North Baltimore' event was very successful and urged efforts to encourage downtown shopping.
The Public Safety segment recorded that the Fire Department will collect for Toys-for-Tots on a Saturday; the date shown in the minutes is garbled and not clearly readable. The committee did not record a formal action related to Toys-for-Tots beyond the announcement.
Mayor Aaron Patterson introduced Larry Bateson and four Boy Scouts who were observing the meeting; the mayor explained to them the difference between a Committee of the Whole meeting and a formal council meeting.
Separately, Finance and Technology notes included Mr. Clouse’s statement that the budget is ready for the coming year and a request from councilors to forward spam emails received on council phones to Mr. Bender for follow-up.
Those items were recorded as routine reports with no votes recorded in the minutes.
