I am going to ask that the first reading of Bill 2479 be held over until a regular Monday evening meeting.  The first reading of a bill is technically the only time citizens can stand up and speak for or against a particular bill.  Because of this, I do not think it is appropriate to put bills on their first reading at lunch meetings.  In fact, unless it is an emergency, I do not feel like any business should be conducted at these meetings.  I do feel, however, that they are a great opportunity for us to have discussions and for staff to give us presentation.

Thanks and Have a Great Day!!
