All right, it is 7:30. I'm going to call to order the town board meeting of October 1st, 2026. Please rise for the pledge of allegiance. 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.
Would you like to call?
Supervisor Sho
here.
Councilman Cah
here.
Counciloman Wright is Councilman Hunter
here.
Councilman Wagner
here. attorney for the town Taylor
here.
All right, we will uh start this up tonight with our open to the floor. Uh we have one person signed up. Uh Jerry, I believe you know the rules. Just be respectful in five minutes.
I'm always respectful.
We do trust you on that one. Yep. Hi, I'm Jerry Bashard. I live at 632 Pine Trail and um I guess about two weeks ago uh I spoke on behalf of Webster Presbyterian Church in regards to the uh Verizon cell phone tower that was um being proposed for the the people over on wildfire. Wild flower. Is it all flower?
Flour.
Flour. Okay. Um, they were very generous the church trying to help the community because they heard of the plight of the people that don't want a cell phone tower in their backyard. And even though the church, I know I'm probably speaking out of line, but the church does not need the money, the cell phone tower, but they did offer their property to have a rise and um examine that and look at the possibility of having the tower put there and we leave the the people that would have to have it in their backyard. Today, no one has come in contact with the church, neither the board nor the Verizon folks. And I think as a common courtesy, someone should be calling them and telling them something. So please, I know you don't have to answer my my what I'm requesting tonight, but please somebody please call the church and let them know what your assessment is of that. And I'm sure people in the community that are being forced with the cell phone tower down their throats would like to know the end result of this as well. Thank you for your time. Thank you.
