Commissioner Andrew Meadows — Seat No. 2: No report. Commissioner Chad Albritton — Seat No. 4: Stated that he had also watched the video referred to by the residents who had spoken earlier in the meeting and agreed with them that what he had heard was not worthy of the City's residents or their leadership. He called for an investigation into the matter and possible censure if warranted by any investigation results. He stated that even amidst the tensions occurring on a national level, it was important for the Casselberry community to come together and help those who are struggling, and urged the City Commission in the coming year to continue to strive to create an inclusive community which cares for one another no matter the differences, and to work together to ensure that every item passed by the City Commission benefits the residents who need it the most. Commissioner Mark Busch - Seat No. 3: Thanked all those who had come to the meeting and expressed their concerns. He stated that he loves the City of Casselberry and respected the comments that had been made. He further stated he had not been at the Capitol, but the video had occurred in Casselberry on the day before the events at the Capitol. He stated he does not condone violence, but that this had been the most contested election in his lifetime and emotions were high on both sides of the issue, and for that he apologized to the residents of Casselberry. He stated that he believed everyone who had committed a crime should be brought to justice. However, he was a Constitutional conservative and would continue to fight for free speech, voter reform and the rule of law. He invited any residents present who wished to talk with him about these issues after the Commission meeting to stay and he would be happy to talk with them. He added that both sides needed to work to heal the political discord in the community and he was very open to doing that. Mayor Henson — Seat No. 5: No report.
