During a recent council meeting, members discussed several key topics, including the scheduling of a special council meeting and the potential for concealed carry regulations within town facilities.

The council unanimously agreed to hold a special meeting on October 7th at 4 PM to address strategic planning matters. This decision was made swiftly, with a motion and second from council members, indicating a strong consensus on the need for further discussion.

A significant topic raised during the meeting was the consideration of allowing concealed carry within town facilities. One council member expressed concerns about public safety, noting that while there are no current restrictions, other municipalities have implemented limitations that only permit public safety officials to carry weapons in such spaces. The member highlighted the potential risks associated with allowing untrained individuals to carry firearms, emphasizing the importance of professional training and preparedness in emergency situations.

Another council member echoed these sentiments, advocating for the need to rely on trained professionals for public safety rather than allowing general concealed carry. They suggested that the council should focus on receiving training from public safety officials on how to respond to potential threats, rather than discussing the allowance of concealed weapons.

The council agreed to revisit the topic in November, with plans for public safety officials to provide further insights and training to the council members. This approach aims to ensure that council members are well-informed and prepared to handle emergency situations effectively.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to public safety and the importance of informed decision-making regarding firearms in town facilities.
