Mrs. Vaughan puts students at the center of everything she does. She is just a great teacher and certainly deserves the recognition and award.

My own feeling is that we have to do a police station there. That issue (private development) came up eight, nine years ago. But at the same time, circumstances could have changed now.

This would not cause an increase in taxes. Hopefully, we can avoid the issue of taxing for the next few years. This is not to say what would happen at the end of three years. We would have to revisit at that point and revenue enhancement (a tax hike) cannot be ruled out. We would have to see what is then the condition of the general fund.

We had made sure all of the smoke was evacuated from the building and then allowed the students and occupants back in.

When students arrive they often are lined up to come in and get a pop or two for breakfast. I'd rather see that stop.

Accessibility has been tough, and it has slowed getting parcels on the shelves for students.
