Play from 1:22:02Jul 21, 2026, Alderman's Court Ad Hoc Meeting
I agree. Uh, one of the big things to us, we're not here to waste our time. And uh so I don't agree that that we have to bet it, because we want it done right. And remember, the city of Dover has not had this since 1950s. And we're talking over 70 some years. And it was the city that, at that time, it was the town,
Play from 1:22:51Jul 21, 2026, Alderman's Court Ad Hoc Meeting
you know, because they didn't have any of these problems, and, you know, they and they could depend on uh a state court system back then. And so they gave it up. Um, you know, others didn't, and we, but Dover did. Uh, it's in the uh Why did they give it up? It's in the minutes back in the '50s. Basically, uh, back, we had around like 5,000 people
Play from 1:23:14Jul 21, 2026, Alderman's Court Ad Hoc Meeting
in the city back then. We just weren't getting cases. Quite frankly, there were no cases
Play from 1:23:39Jul 21, 2026, Alderman's Court Ad Hoc Meeting

In the very beginning. Yeah, in the very beginning, right. And the um uh and could we Now Now, of course,
Play from 1:27:15Jul 21, 2026, Alderman's Court Ad Hoc Meeting
now, in our enabling legislation, we could also um have the ability to refer not only to Veterans Court, but to Drug Court. Is that correct?

Like Like uh substance uh use disorder?
Play from 1:28:13Jul 21, 2026, Alderman's Court Ad Hoc Meeting
