Summary
Councilmembers highlighted food distribution, the MPO meeting, circus-ticket donations and encouraged candidates to run; Councilmember Geovona Thompson noted low turnout (~20 children) at the town Easter egg hunt. Mayor Wallace recognized a Mr. Newcomb during Call to the Public.
During Council reports, members highlighted upcoming and recent community activities. Councilmember Cynthia Butterworth reminded volunteers about the monthly food distribution (third Friday). Mayor Pro Tem Christy Hirshberg and others mentioned circus tickets, including donated tickets to help children attend. A general call for candidates to run for mayor and council was also made.
Councilmember Geovona Thompson said she participated in the Easter egg hunt and reported a very low turnout ("maybe 20 kids"), adding that she had not seen event publicity until the day before. She praised the BBQ and the school's participation but said promotional timing likely affected attendance.
Mayor Wallace recognized a Mr. Newcomb during Call to the Public and reminded him of the three-minute time limit; the record notes Newcomb spoke but does not record the content of his remarks in the minutes. The meeting adjourned by unanimous motion later in the evening.
