The Mayor was the first to speak at the podium Monday evening. These are the points he made:
- The city will continue to pick up leaves until 12/23/10
- There is a study being done on our ambulance service.
- We need to combine the city and county 911 systems.
CM Coffey asked Atty Rick Fox to explain the judgement on the sewer utility against the city. Our City Attorney, Shane Gibson, helped explain the situation. There is a judgement and they want to collect. There have been negotiations with Gibson and Fox and others and it will soon be satisfied. CM Coffey wants to pay and then sue the sewer utility for the money. Mr. Gibson thinks this is silly and added that he hoped to have a resolution by the next council meeting.
Building Commissioner, David Brewer spoke about our code enforcement. With our two officers there have been 68 issues, 35 called in, 3 by email, and 2 in person. All have been resolved. Additionally, there are 18 buildings which may be demolished if they are not repaired.
The only speaker from the public was Peter Farmer, president of Main St. Preservation. He spoke against G-10-21 (Dissolution of the Historic Preservation Commission)
Next up were the votes:
A-10-13 Transfer 1.7 million from EDIT for General Fund expenses. The reason being that TIF funds cannot be used for certain projects. The vote was 6 yes and 3 no (CM's Coffey,Price, and Gahan). Same results on the second reading.
A-10-12 Ordinance for the transfer of $200,000 from the Cumulative Capital Improvement Fund to the General Fund. (Goes to cash deficit, not an appropriation, money goes to the rolling deficit) This was the 3rd reading and it passed 9-0
G-20-21 Dissolving the Historic Preservation Commission: failed 7 no, 1 yes, CM Price, and 1 abstain CM Coffey.
Finally the Resolution to adopt a Fiscal Plan for the Annexation passed 7 yes and 2 no CM Coffey and Price. The annexation will not take effect until January 1, 2014.
On a personal note, the meeting went pretty smoothly. The microphones seemed to have been set at a lower volume, or maybe it was just my imagination.

why do you keep going to council meetings baird it wont get you a seat up there, you are going to lose so bad
Thank you for the report Shirley. Keep up the good work!
P.S. Don't listen to 5:55am. He/She obviously is scared of you running.
5:55 is an anonymous comments troll.
Anonymous comments trolls exist to get a rise out of people and to try to scare them.
It is likely that 5:55 a.m. has no opinion whatever about Shirley or the council; rather, he or she is a variety of stalker, seeking to intimidate, but too chickens%^t to be out in the open.
Don't worry about it. Thanks for the report on the meeting.
Either that or it's King Larry before he gets his McDonald's coffee.
LMAO
If Coffey and Price oppose moving the $1.7 million, then how do they propose to fill the funding gap? Do they want to cut over a million from police and fire?
Their goal is the same as always: Gut the city and impoverish it, because an impoverished place is the only type of place in which they can succeed.
Give them credit for remaining consistent.
"Anonymous comments trolls exist to get a rise out of people and to try to scare them."
It works, take Roger for example, they gets a rise out of him every time.
Funny even when you are out in the open it doesn't make you any different than the anonymous except you leave no doubt about being a troll yourself.
To the contrary, if I responded each and every time a troll posts here, I wouldn't have time to drink beer.

gotta give the troll time to drink his beer and come up with more names to call people.
giggle burb giggle
Shirl, ol' gal, yer "rules" are silly when only 2 or 3 people are actually people. Anonymous comments invite slander, especially toward real people who bother to comment on your site. Oops, sorry. I probably gave my identity away by spelling properly. Bring on the slander. But no profanity, please. Their our laydies presunt.
