Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, September 23, 2019 Page 3 Council President Saponaro asked, and I think at our last Council meeting it was reflected in the Minutes and therefore satisfies the requirement? Is that correct? Mrs. Betsa replied, no. It must be reflected in the Minutes of a Regular Council meeting. Council President Saponaro asked, how do we do this? We just have to talk about it and it satisfies the requirement? Mrs. Betsa replied, yes. I was in contact with the Auditor's office. I received confirmation via e-mail that as long as it is in the Minutes, that is fine. Council President Saponaro stated, perfect. It's in the Minutes. All right. Anything else? Mrs. Betsa replied, no. Chief Eugene Carcioppolo (Fire) - I just wanted to commend our department and our Dispatcher Laurie Hughes for a job well done with the big storm that blew through about a week ago. We responded on multiple mutual aid calls with the other agencies in the area and Laurie Hughes handled it very well and so did our department. I just wanted to make sure that they were acknowledged. Council President Saponaro stated, thank you. We appreciate that as well. Chief Paul Matias (Police) - A little PR thing. In October, our department is participating in what is called a Pink Patch Project. Each October, police departments throughout the country do a breast cancer awareness where they wear their department patches but have them designed in pink. I have one of the patches here so you can see what they look like. We are doing this for awareness for the fight against breast cancer and the support organizations that address this disease. We are doing a fundraiser to support the Gathering Place where we have a limited amount of patches and pins which I have here. Any profits from this we are going to donate to the Gathering Place. In your Council packet you have a letter talking about it. I will be releasing this information on our Facebook page tomorrow. Kathy Troyer came up with this plan a few months ago. We are curious to see how it goes. If you have any questions, let me know. Chief Matias stated, also, next week, October 2"d is my first of the four community seminars we are doing. Next week is Disaster Preparedness. I am excited about it. We are getting ready for it. Please attend. It will be exhilarating, informative and entertaining, or at least maybe one of the three. Council President Saponaro asked, what is the time of that? Chief Matias replied, October 2"d at 7:00 p.m. at the Community Room. Council President Saponaro stated, perfect. And how long do you expect that to go?
