COUNCILMAN COMMENTS

COUNCILMAN KING: thank you to officers for saving a life; thanks to the Chief for getting gun locks. Comments on soccer situation; wants to protect the residents he was elected to represent; not the intention of hurting the soccer club. Wants town policy followed.

COUNCILMAN VALENTIN: helped a senior get a refund of overcharge by garbage hauler. Met with seniors at senior horizons and wants town to write a letter to management with some issues. Officer Rolon apprehended three youths before they could do any graffiti. Elected officials should not abuse powers; urges colleagues to check on youth programs.

COUNCILMAN McLEAN: last meeting was not televised, missed talk about contract with ambulance and Mobile Life. Good thing for Belmont Park; Danny Ebneter requested this project. Pleased with results.

COUNCILMAN DEPEW: hayrides at the golf course on October 24- 6:30 PM; pumpkin carving October 23- 5 PM; come out; have fun or help. Thanks to Nancy Lane.
