CAUSE I DO HAVE A FEW ITEMS, UH, THAT WAS PRESENTED TO ME, UH, ON THE ASSISTANCE PHONE.

FIRST PERSON TO SPEAK IS KIM RIMMER AND THE SUBJECT IS FREEDOM TO FERNO.

KIM, REMEMBER 6 0 3 LEMON STREET, CEDAR HILL, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR COUNCIL,

[00:35:02]

I REQUESTED A RESOLUTION BE FORMULATED THAT STATES OUR CITY SUPPORTS ITS CITIZENS, INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM TO CHOOSE VACCINATION OR NOT.

APPARENTLY THAT REQUEST SEEMS TO HAVE FALLEN BY THE WAYSIDE.

IN FACT, ONLY ONE OF YOU REACHED OUT TO ME, BUT ONLY TO SHARE NEWS ARTICLES OF OTHER HOSPITALS DOING THE SAME AS IF THAT MITIGATES THE UNETHICAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL NATURE OF THIS ULTIMATUM AS OF SEPTEMBER 17TH, ACCORDING TO THE VACCINE ADVERSE EVENTS REPORTING SYSTEM, OR VAERS THERE HAVE BEEN 15,386 DEATHS RELATED TO COVID VACCINES, 66,642 HOSPITALIZATIONS AND 726, NO 726,963 PERMANENT ADVERSE EVENTS HAVE ALSO BEEN RELATED TO THE VACCINE.

I WANT TO BE CLEAR.

I AM NOT HERE TO DEBATE VACCINATIONS OR NOT.

I AM HERE TO DEFEND OUR CITY.

CITIZEN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

WHEN EACH OF YOU TOOK YOUR OATH OF OFFICE, YOU PLEDGED A LOTE TO FAITHFULLY EXECUTE THE DUTIES OF YOUR OFFICE.

YOU STAYED AT ON OATH TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.

YOU WOULD PRESERVE, PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF THIS STATE.

WILL YOU NOW HONOR YOUR OATH? WILL YOU NOW JOIN OTHER CITIES, COUNCILMEN, SUCH AS COUNCILMAN WOOLSEY OF CORSICANA AND SUBMIT A RESOLUTION STATING OUR CITY WILL NOT.

AND I QUOTE IN FRINGE ON INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE AGAIN.

I ASK YOU TO AUTHOR AN APPROVE A RESOLUTION ECHNOLOGY CEDAR HILLS CITIZENS, FREEDOM TO CHOOSE WHERE THERE IS RISK.

THERE MUST BE CHOICE.

NOW I REALIZE THIS IS AN ANTI-VACCINE SLOGAN, BUT I FEEL IT IS APPROPRIATE IN THIS SITUATION.

AND FINALLY, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK OVER YOU PSALM 55, 22 CAST YOUR CARES ON THE LORD AND HE WILL SUSTAIN YOU.

HE WILL NEVER LET THE RIGHTEOUS BE SHAKEN.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TONIGHT.

THANK YOU.

NEXT ITEM TO, UH, SPEAK IS I BELIEVE IT'S DARLENE JACKSON, TOPIC, HIGHLAND, SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD.

I CAN DO IT INTO, UH, AS YOU STATED, MY NAME IS DARLENE JACKSON AND I LIVE IN THE HIGHLAND SOUTH, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, WITHOUT THE RESPECT, I I'VE BEEN RAISED TO THANK PEOPLE FOR WHAT THEY DO FOR YOU AS WELL AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR.

SO I WANT TO THANK YOU, ESPECIALLY MR. PORTER FOR TAKING OF MY ALLEY TRASH PROBLEM THAT I SPOKE WITH THAT AND TO SPEAK WITH YOU TODAY.

FIRST I WANTED TO SINK AND I COULDN'T DECIDE WHAT SONG TO COME UP WITH AND I CAN'T SING ANYWAY, BUT HERE ARE SOME OF THE TITLES.

AIN'T NO STOPPING US.

NOW WE'RE MOVING ON UP, REACH OUT AND TOUCH.

SOMEBODY IS HANGING.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT FOR HIGHLAND SAC.

SO I'VE DECIDED, I SAID, WELL, I WRITE A POEM, BUT I COULDN'T DECIDE ON A TITLE.

SO I SAID, SEE THE HILL, THAT'S MY HOOD.

WHERE DO I LIVE? NOT WHERE I STAY MY NEIGHBORHOOD OR YOURS.

SO TO KIND OF BYPASS ALL OF THAT AND KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE.

MY POINTS, COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WE HAD A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING AND A COUPLE OF COUNCIL MEMBERS WAS THERE AND SOMEONE SPOKE THAT THEY'D NEVER BEEN INVITED.

SO TO THANK US FOR INVITING THEM THERE.

[00:40:02]

I KNOW IT'S FUNNY, RIGHT? I LAUGHED ABOUT IT TOO.

BUT THE DOORS, THE BELTLINE RUNS STRAIGHT FROM GRAND PRAIRIE ROW, ALL THE WAY TO LANCASTER AND WHATEVER, WHEREVER.

SO WE INVITE YOU TO VISIT HOLLAND SOUTH.

AND WHY YOU OVER THERE? STOP IT.

8 0 1 8 0 5 AND 5, 3 8 SIMS DRIVE.

AND IF YOU CAN GET TO THE DOOR BECAUSE THEIR CARS ARE PARKED IN THE YARD, THE FRONT YARD, WE WELCOME YOU ALSO, YOU CAN STOP BY ON 360 1 SIM DRIVE AND A HOUSE ON MCKINLEY WHERE THEY'RE BUILDING DECKS IN THE FRONT YARDS WITH HAMMOCK AND CHAIRS AND I'M NOT MAKING.

THANK YOU, MR. JACKSON ITEM IS NEXT TO CITIZENS.

SPEAK IS PENDING ON MCGEE.

TOPIC IS I BELIEVE IT'S RESTAURANT LIBRARY, CIVIC CENTER.

GOOD EVENING.

HI, MY NAME IS PAM.

I DON'T HAVE THREE THINGS.

LITTLE A, I VOLUNTEER A 96 AND WE STILL HAVE THAT SAME LIBRARY.

I HAVE NOTICED GRAND, UH, DUNCANVILLE, DESOTO.

ALL THESE PLACES HAVE BUILT.

VERY NICE LIBRARIES.

WE HAVEN'T, YOU GO OVER THERE AND THE EMPLOYEES, YOU CAN HEAR THEM TALKING AND THAT'S REALLY BAD BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONCENTRATE.

AND THEN THE RESTAURANTS YOU GO TO NORTH DALLAS, YOU GET HEALTHY FOOD.

THE, UH, OBESITY HAS INCREASED.

SO I THINK THAT SINCE WE HAVE ALL THIS POWER, ALL THESE TAXPAYERS MONEY SPENT OUR MONEY GET HEALTHY RESTAURANTS, HEALTHY FOOD SO THAT OUR KIDS DON'T GROW UP AND BECOME UNHEALTHY.

I THINK IT'S UNFAIR THAT YOU, WE LIVE HERE.

WE PAY TAXES, BUT WE JUST, WE CAN'T GET NICE.

WE CAN'T GO TO, TO CEDAR HILL AND SAID, HAVE A NICE MEAL, NICE DRINK, LISTEN TO NICE MUSIC.

YOU HAVE TO GO TO PLANO.

YOU HAVE TO GO TO NORTH DALLAS.

AND THAT'S UNFAIR WHEN YOU GET OLDER, YOU WANT TO SIT, YOU WANT TO BE IN YOUR SAME AREA.

SO I THINK THAT WE SHOULD, SINCE WE'RE PAYING TAXES, SPIN OUR TAXES, OWN HEALTHY RESTAURANTS IN NICE PLACES.

AND THEN THE CIVIC CENTER.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE HAVEN'T, WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET.

SO IS THAT IN THE MAKING? SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S JUST SAD THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU MOVED HERE IN 96 AND NOTHING CHANGED.

I WAS INFORMED THAT THE REASON WHY IT DOESN'T IS BECAUSE CEDAR HILL IS A SLEEPING TOWN, BUT IT'S REALLY TIME TO CEDAR.

HE'LL WAKE UP.

IF WE'RE GOING TO PAY TAXES, PUT YOUR MONEY, SPEND THEM, YOU KNOW, AND LET THE PEOPLE ENJOY THE AREA THAT THEY LIVE.

DON'T W I DON'T WANT TO GO TO PLANE AND SPEND MY MONEY BECAUSE WHAT PLANO, THEY GET TO BE, UH, BETTER STREETS, BETTER RESTAURANTS.

AND WE STAY THE SAME.

THAT'S REALLY BAD IS PAMELA THANK YOU, MS. MCGEE.

NOW, CITIZEN TO, UH, TO SPEAK TO CITIZENS FORUM.

TODAY IS MR. THOMAS HAGGERTY TOPIC IS HIGHLAND DRY.

GOOD EVENING, MR. , ARE YOU DOING IT? NAME IS TOM WAS, AND I STAY AT 4 28 CM DRIVE IN THE CITY.

FIRST THING I'D LIKE TO SAY HI TO EVERYONE ON THE PANEL.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT, UH, AT A 100, WELL, A BIG PROBLEM OPEN HOUSE IN THE SOUTH.

THE CITY IS THE CITY.

PROPERTY IS A 100, UH, HIGHLAND DRIVE.

IT'S THE ISLAND.

IT'S WHERE THE, WE HAVE IRRIGATION SYSTEM OVER THERE.

I NEVER BEEN TURNED ON SINCE

[00:45:01]

I SENT IT ON.

SO I TAKE THAT BACK ONE TIME.

AND I'VE BEEN OUT HERE IT 88 IN THAT, IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

I'M THE PRESIDENT ABOUT CRIME WATCH OVER THERE, AND THE TREES ARE LOOMING TOWARDS THE STREET AND NEED TO BE, I NEED TO BE PRUNED.

WE GOT ONE JUST, YOU JUST PROBABLY BEEN GROW IT AND JUST PULL IT UP.

AND IN THE SEVERAL OF THEM IS JUST THE SAME WAY.

AND WHEN YOU GOT GRASS COMING OUT, THE OUT OF THE STREET THROUGH THE CRACKS, NOW I DRIVE DOWN THROUGH, THROUGH HERE IN FRONT OF THE GOVERNANCE AND I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING.

WE DON'T WANT TO NOT NEIGHBORHOOD.

IT'S A, IT'S AN ASS SOURCE IS IT'S NOT HEALTHY FOR THE COMMUNITY.

AND ALSO ON BAILEY DRIVE.

IT'S IT'S, IT'S TERRIBLE.

YOU KNOW, I KNOW KEVIN, I CODE ENFORCEMENT DO THE BEST HE CAN, AND I APPRECIATE HIM, BUT HE NEEDS SOME HELP.

I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A PA OVER THERE AND WE DON'T HAVE A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION WHERE WE PAY DUES, BUT WE DO HAVE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

WE HAVE OUTSIDE OF HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, WE GOT A ROOM ASSOCIATION TOO, BUT IT'S, IT'S TERRIBLE.

THE WORLD WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE OUR PRIMARY, YOU KNOW, HOW QUALITY CITY, BUT THIS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS, IT NEEDS THIS.

IT AIN'T JUST THOUGHT IT IT'D BEEN, IT'D BEEN A HIGH SOURCE FOR MANY YEARS.

LIKE MR. SAM, WHEN HE WAS A CITY MANAGER, HE TOLD ME IF I CAME TO THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING, HE PULLED ME IN HIS OFFICE.

HE SAID, LOOK, SEE THIS STAND BEHIND YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY.

DO A COLOR WITH THIS BS, YOU KNOW, SURE.

ONE TIME.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO GET THE PROBLEM THOUGH.

I'VE BEEN WORKING OUT HERE ON MY OWN TIME.

THANK YOU, MR. HAGGERTY.
