CITIZEN COMMENTS Mr. Wyatt Cieluch, 18901 English Avenue,has moved here from Northfield and is a sophomore at Farmington High School. He would like to start a Youth on Board project that will provide an opportunity for high school students to get involved with local boards and commissions. Ms.Lacelle Cordes, 1405 Lower Heritage Way, demanded the resignation of Councilmember Bartholomay. She stated the citizens of Farmington trusted you to live up to the oath you have taken not only once but twice to uphold the laws. You broke that ' trust last fall when you decided to have illegal lights in your car and then lied to the officers as to why you had those lights and proceeded to tell us all you would be exonerated. The residents of Farmington,especially the 453 who have signed the petition, do not think this is a big joke,but they think you are. As a councilmember you are held to a higher standard and if you don't understand that,you should not be sitting Council Minutes(Regular) April 4,2016 Page 2 up there. You stated at the last council meeting that this whole thing was a big circus. Well,Jason,you are the ringmaster and the one who created the circus. Instead of manning up to your actions you continue to lie and deflect and that is what you do best. You want an anti-bullying and slander policy put in place, I say perfect. Because if you continue to lie and make false accusations you will be the first person it is forced upon. You made an accusation that I was sitting out in front of your house. Do you have dates? Times? Pictures? Of course you don't. Because you know it didn't happen. That statement is about as truthful as saying you were sitting out in front of my house. You better have more than lies and innuendoes if you want to come after me. 7.
