Hello Commissioners,

Thank you for your efforts and for allowing everyone to speak today at the meeting.

I am requesting that you enact two separate moratoriums.

  1. A moratorium prohibiting construction of new, non-municipal detention centers as Kansas City has done.
  2. A moratorium against further development and construction of the Water First North Florida pipeline project.

Please see the attached ordinance from Kansas City and resolution from Town of Branford.

Thank you and take care,

Hailey Hall
