discussions in a public setting, as private conversations about city matters are not permissible. This
format is essential for effectively communicating our needs, those of our constituents, and our
districts for the City of Sanford. Let's ensure we do so without any ridicule or disrespect. She
concluded with she feels intimidated at the end of the meetings.
