Public commenter Latrina Hicks urges council to consult 'Miss Nancy,' restore Mr. Gentry's duties and follow bylaws

During the public-comment period, Latrina Hicks addressed the mayor and council and urged them to consult "Miss Nancy," whom she described as "very knowledgeable," and who she said should consult Mr. Gentry. Hicks told council members that they "cannot stand as the CIBC board" and said she believed the council had shifted from the CIBC board into a city council board.

Hicks criticized the council's compliance with governing rules, saying, "we're still not in regulation, we're still not following the statutes and rules of, that governs the city, that governs the body, that governs our state." She said she had previously provided the bylaws to the council and asked the council to make a careful choice "of what we need to do as a city, to move forward."

Hicks also pressed the council on a personnel matter involving "Mr. Gentry," asking the council to "give him the keys back where he that he should have so he could go to work because we're still, of course, paying our taxpayers money for, him to, work." She questioned whether bringing in "Miss Windham" related to Mr. Gentry's role.
