Follow-ups named in the minutes
- The deadline for filing these petitions with the Town Clerk is Monday, January 27, 2025 by 5:00 p.m.
What the extraction was unsure about
- Extracted mechanically from the town's own minutes text (data/minutes/<meeting_id>.txt), which names the mover and seconder of every motion; the audio transcript was not consulted for attribution.
- Town minutes are the (UNAPPROVED) draft as published by the town.
- Agenda items are the ALL-CAPS section headings in the minutes, so their wording is the town's own and their order is the order in the document.
- Public comment lists only what the minutes record; visitors are listed when the minutes name them without recording a statement.
- Vote field is 'unanimous voice vote' when the minutes say 'All in favor', a numeric count when one appears, otherwise null.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Speaker 4: It's only for the convenience of two years.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: I mean, okay. Either way, let's get away from that.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: anywhere.
Speaker 5: What would make you doubt that we would?
Speaker 8: And how do you think we have a future as a government in Georgia? roles based upon.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that little section is pretty tough. That's kind of... There's only really one house, and someone's going to be filling up there, too.
Speaker 10: Full board.
Speaker 11: Anything else under correspondence?
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I'm going to read it.
Speaker 13: they pay us what they want okay so that's use use value value use value is the one where if you have
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
Speaker 14: Well, maybe we want to go up, but not a tot up.
Speaker 13: I like either $70 or $75, I don't care.
Speaker 15: and the golf course who sells the beer.
Speaker 12: 200.
Speaker 13: None.
Speaker 11: You're only cooking seven.
Speaker 14: Is that what it is?
Speaker 8: Keep it 100?
Speaker 8: You found 9 cents outside or something?
Speaker 12: It should be both the same.
Speaker 14: I'd like to think people are going to pay on time
Speaker 14: That's a zero.
Speaker 14: went to the zba let's do zero because it's really the normally the applicant would file
Speaker 8: oh we took in 12 380. oh that's close yep 12. right you better raise your well they don't get
Speaker 15: you want 12 000. that's for some of the cards to the public yes yeah we have more seniors doing it
Speaker 15: five hundred dollars you take involved fall three so fifteen thousand we're taking in
Speaker 17: nobody would bring in uh trash if you charge them correctly exactly and they would be able to
Speaker 8: We should put it back to a grant.
Speaker 12: Can you just keep the same amounts, $1,500?
Speaker 8: Do you want to budget, like, $1,200?
Speaker 14: Stamps are not getting cheaper.
Speaker 18: Everything's electronic anyways.
Speaker 19: I was going to say, it's not very big.
Speaker 9: And then the older group is never going to be there. Yeah, that's true. So the best thing is, I mean, if we're going to decide to go that direction, would be somebody who could, like, go to all the older people and be able to get all their books and then deliver them, because that's the only way those people are going to get it, if you don't deliver by mail.
Speaker 9: I think the other word we could go to is that, if we had, you know, people who said that they really wanted one, and then they have to be, like... So we have to get them made by X to be able to get them out to people. So then, by X, you need to say, I want a copy of this. And then... We're only making 50 instead of 500. Or 800.
Speaker 20: Often.
Speaker 21: So you do your work. Or hire somebody, temporarily, and just deliver them all, and you save yourself stamps. You probably pay less to the temporary person to take a couple hours.
Speaker 14: Well, I guess we'll look into both of these and see what most rumors be.
Speaker 8: last term of the year.
Speaker 13: So the other ones, Laura,
Speaker 8: unless they come up with a more
Speaker 8: We're at it.
Speaker 15: It might change your mind.
Speaker 17: or something like that?
Speaker 15: Oh yeah.
Speaker 17: Do you want to do $12,000?
Speaker 13: It was on the wrong property or something.
Speaker 8: Somebody catch.
Speaker 14: And so they billed us.
Speaker 8: or online stuff.
Speaker 17: She reads for the recorder.
Speaker 15: Those are going to go off
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 15: you're right. It's costing
Speaker 17: $800.
Speaker 15: Whatever it is, it is.
Speaker 17: No, I think they
Speaker 12: and then it ends up going
Speaker 11: This is what happened
Speaker 12: This is what happened when we used to
Speaker 8: so you can't take it out of state.
Speaker 17: He's making dirt out of it.
Speaker 17: Right.
Speaker 14: and...
Speaker 14: ...
Speaker 14: I planned on it, but
Speaker 11: Yeah, let's get through this
Speaker 11: You guys will know why.
Speaker 15: I can do it at
Speaker 13: Five.
Speaker 22: Okay. So it's going to be four or five?
Speaker 17: and we have four or five.
Speaker 13: Or do I have a motion to adjourn?
Speaker 13: Doug, I appreciate you
