Second.

Item is made and properly seconded to withdraw item 7.1.

Are there any discussion?

Seeing or hear no discussion, uh, Mr.

Town Clerk, please call item for withdrawal.

So we don't need to take a vote because uh council majority leader Rosetti is the maker of item 7.1, and the item is a discharge item from her committee.

So the next item on the agenda.

Uh majority leader Rosetti.

Um yeah, we're going to put items 8.1 on the I'm sorry, 8.1 on the agenda.

The item was originally going to go to uh executive session, but the item was discussed in the last council meeting.

Uh, and so there is no more discussion on the item.

Is that okay, uh, Mr.

Uh Corporation Council?

Uh through you, Madam President.

That's entirely up to to this uh council.

Okay, great.

And then the item is made and properly second to put item eight point.

One second.

Uh just think we just have a little bit of a council some technicality.

Um I have a question.

Just a point of order where you have a minute.

Tell me what.

I'm sorry, Councilman Mitchum.

Is this this is the settlement of the lawsuit that we discussed and voted down last time?

Uh yes, sir.

Uh, yes, item.

The item is back on the agenda again.

Um, and so uh since we asked all our questions and um took a vote, the item is now back on the agenda again to be voted on.

I believe if if an item has failed, it can't go back on the agenda without changes the next time.

That's my for like six months, if I'm not mistaken, I would turn the corporation council for that.

Um that we have corporation council address that issue.

Yeah, through you, uh Madam President.

That was something that someone had raised at the last council meeting.

I spent the last week looking.

I could find um nothing to that effect.

I know there are some rules about when an appointment uh when an appointment fails that that person uh needs to be acted on within six months, otherwise they can't act in an acting capacity for an appointed position, but I could not find anything that indicated that in six months you cannot re-bring uh an old resolution for reconsideration, not reconsideration, but you know what I mean, as a new resolution.

Not reconsideration, but you know what I mean, as a new resolution.

And this is the new resolution on the agendas on the supplemental agenda, it was items eight point one.

Uh point of order, council president.

Sure.

I I have a question.

Oh, why can't we just reconsider this item and and then take a vote on the reconsideration and then we bring it back?

Is that not proper?

Uh let me have corporation council answer your question.

Uh through you, madam president.

Uh, thank you for the question, Councilman Billy.

Um technically a motion for reconsideration has to be made on the same within the same session, which is typically either the same day or over an extended session, for example, during a budget session.

That one session may stretch over multiple days and it can be reconsidered during that same session.

But being that we were adjourned at the last meeting and it is no longer the same calendar day, it would be inappropriate to take it up as a reconsideration as it turns out.

Okay, thank you.

Um thank you, Councilman Biladu.

Um so the motion has been uh made and properly second um for items 8.1 on the uh the agenda.

Are there any other discussion?

Seeing or hearing other discussion, Mr.

Town Clerk, please call the roll.

Councilman Bellard.

Yes.

Councilman Clark, no councilman Gail.

Yes, Councilman Hernandez, yes, Councilman Mickham.

Yes, Councilman Rosato.

Yes, Councilman Rosetti.

No.

Council President Surgeon?

No.

And Councilman Thomas.

Yes.

Item passes.

Thank you, Mr.

Town Clerk.

Um seeing that we have no other items on the agenda.

I just want to make uh a communication announcement.

It's been a year uh since our past uh town clerk has passed away.

It's been a year now, and unfortunately, um they have not found the actual person who caused his debt.

So would like everyone to take a moment uh to acknowledge it's been a year and um in support of our past town clerk Noel McGregor.

Uh thank you everyone.

Um this is uh week of giving.

Um Thanksgiving is coming up in another couple of days.

I wish everyone a safe um for Thanksgiving and don't forget we also have our uh people in the community um you know who's also um need some help.

So if anyone can reach out uh and help our residents in the city of Hartford, um don't forget this is the time of year for giving.

Uh seeing any items on hold on a second.

Thank you, uh Sister Majority Leader.

Uh there is a pre-Thanksgiving community breakfast that is going to be held on Wednesday, November 26th, from 9 to 11.30 a.m.

It's gonna be held at the uh State Capitol 210 Capitol Avenue.

Again, if you know anyone in our community who needs a little bit of help, please refer them on Wednesday, November 26th.

Again, it's gonna be from 9 a.m.

to 11:30 at the state capitol, which is 210 Capitol Avenue.

So that is again the pre Thanksgiving community breakfast.

Since we have no other items on the agenda, I now adjourn the council meeting and wish everyone a safe uh happy Thanksgiving.
