Next on the agenda was to consider appointments to Boards and Commissions.
The City Recreation Commission recommended Jim Pendleton and Dennis Riggins to
another five (5) year term. The term ends December 31, 2004. The Commission
recommended Brian Fry to fill unexpired term of Coach Kirk Bock. Motion was made
by Alderman Taylor and seconded by Alderman Swaim to accept the appointments. The
Council followed with a unanimous vote.
Next the Public Facilities Board recommended Dr. Kenneth James to fill the
unexpired term of Ed McKinney. Alderman Taylor seconded by Alderman Swaim made a
motion to accept their recommendation. The Council followed with a unanimous vote.
Next was a report on the Millennium 2000 Steering Committee from Kathy
Gifford. Kathy told about the Millennium coins that the Women's League has for
sale for raising money. Kathy told about some of the activities that would be
going on at the big Millennium party on New Years Eve. Kathy said they are going
to bury a time capsule on the Court House lawn. Kathy said they would have hot
chocolate and cookies on the Court House lawn. There will be a fireworks display
at the River. The Christmas display on the River will be free that evening. She
said Leadership Crawford County is still alive and well and she said it was going
good. Kathy said the group will be meeting at the Pepper Source lake house on
Tuesday, October 19, 1999.
Next Marjorie Armstrong gave a report on the archaeology work being done on
the Phillips Landing project.
Next Mayor Riggs said he wanted to bring up an item before the Council. The
suggestion to relocate some of our offices to the Building where the Dollar Store
is located across the street from the Municipal Complex. He said that the City is
running out of Office space and they could get this space for the next two (2) or
three (3) years for $ 1757.00 per month. Alderman Swaim said we could probably
build a building in a short while. Earl Robinson spoke for the Church and
explained their offer to the City to use the building. He said the Church would
not be using the property for a few years. He said it looked like a win, win
situation to him. Alderman Swaim said he would like to think this idea over and
talk it over. Mayor Riggs said he was looking at immediate relief for space. Earl
Robinson asked if they would let the Church know as soon .as possible so that if the
city doesn' t want to use the building they can go ahead and let someone else have
it. Alderman Taylor suggested they go ahead and let someone else have the building
if they wanted it. Alderman Swaim said by the next Council meeting they would make
a decision.
Next on the agenda was the Treasurer 's Report. Motion was made by Alderman
Swaim and ,seconded by Alderman Taylor to appropriate the sum of $670,027.54 to pay
expenses and salaries for September 1999, presented by the City Clerk-Treasurer.
The vote on roll call was unanimously carried by the City Council.
