Transcript
▶ 57:31 Speaker 2: 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.
▶ 57:46 Bradley Freeman: Thank you. At this time, I will motion by unanimous consent to approve without reading the minutes from the March 16th, 2026 meeting. Seeing no objection, those minutes are now approved. We're going to move into public comment. Once we wrap up public comment, we'll go back to the appropriations and oversight hearing, unless it is 8:00, at which point we'll do our public hearing quickly and then get back to A&O. I'll now motion by unanimous consent to open the floor for public comment. Seeing no objection, we are open for public comment. Per Rule 33A of the Melrose City Council rules, this is the portion of the meeting where the public may speak on any item on tonight's agenda. Comments expressing any viewpoint on other matters are also welcome. Just a reminder, public comment period is an opportunity for the public to share comments. Councilors will not respond. The public has up to five minutes for comments. I will notify you when you have 30 seconds remaining. Is anyone here to offer public comment tonight?
