Fasten Your Seat Belts

This last week saw a special town council meeting, a regular town council meeting, and a ribbon cutting ceremony. The Special town council meeting was to discuss what’s to go on the two acres. The regular meeting agenda was brief and simple but a lot of residents showed up, not in regards to the agenda, but to express dissatisfaction with the 70 foot cell tower that’s going in by the Red Hawk neighborhood.

A lot of locals contributed to this issue of TSS. That’s a good thing, a great thing. But it will take more like an hour to an hour and a half to read this issue. Doesn’t seem like 1½ hours a week is too much to devote to knowing your community. But you can always just read parts.

It is not possible to do a play by play for the two Town Council meetings. I found them potent, especially the Wednesday regular meeting where so many showed up in solidarity and it is only about an hour long. A brief outline for the meetings is on page 9 of this issue. The audio for the special meeting and the audio/visual for the regular meeting can be accessed here: https://www.youtube.com/@SpringdaleTownPublicMeetings

So much that needs saying by so many and so much that needs unpacking.

Let’s get to it.
