He noted that this item is being pulled for one payment made to Youth <br /> First. <br /> Councilmember Howell shared that she does not support making the final payment to Youth First <br /> as she does not feel like it is good business to throw money in bad places and due to her concerns <br /> with the DEI hire that they have listed with Andover.

She said this money could go towards parks or <br /> park programming as a better use of the funds. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Woestehoff, seconded by Councilmember Riley, to adopt Resolution <br /> 424-315 Approving Cash Disbursements Made and Authorizing Payment of Accounts Payable <br /> Invoicing Received During the Period of October 17, 2024, through November 6, 2024. <br /> Further discussion: <br /> Mayor Kuzma stated they did make a commitment to Youth First for this amount and he does not <br /> feel comfortable breaking this commitment with them.
