open to the public. Wish to speak. Just state your name and your address for the record, please. Yeah, we know you. I've seen you a couple times. And I I don't want to be photographed. No photographs of you. Okay. Okay. Uh my
name is Maxine Canelos and I live at 911 Whitman Drive. And I have just two little issues. Uh, one issue is I live in Whitman Square. Whitman Square's trash day is Monday. People put out trash on Friday, you know, repeatedly.
And, you know, I'm sure I don't know if there's a, you know, an ordinance, you know, governing it, but maybe there should be. There is. There is. Okay. Well, you know, you you live there. I mean, they and it's the same
people. It's not once in a while. And I also have an issue, nothing personal, Frank, with the new trash cans that are delivered. I love them. I think they're great and I think they'll be, you know, help the neighborhood with trash blowing around. But there needs to be an
ordinance where these are in a single family home. They're so big they can't even be kept on the sides. They should be only kept in the back. I understand town houses that that might be an issue and I don't know if they have but I really think that some ordinance
ordinances should be put in place. Appreciate Thank you, Maxine. Anyone else want to speak? Seeing none motion to close the public. All in favor? All right. The next council meeting will
be June 11, 2025, 6 p.m. Can I get a motion to adjurnn? Motion. All in favor? All right.
