MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 14-09 ON SECOND READING, ADVERTISE THE APPROVAL AND NOTICE OF PASSAGE AND APPROVAL IN AN APPROVED NEWSPAPER AS REQUIRED BY LAW BY: RIVERE MOTION SECONDED BY: MARTIN YES: MARTIN, TILIS, UPDEGRAVE, RIVERE & KAFTON
COUNCILMAN TILIS: Requested a moment to comment. Attorney Gilmore stated my belief is if a Councilperson has a question, let him ask the question.
COUNCILMAN TILIS: The Ordinance talks about a report that will be provided on a yearly basis, I’d ask for a six-month report to see how this Ordinance is working. Councilman Martin had no problem with that. Council Vice President Rivere also had no problem with that.
CLERK EDEN: You will have to amend the Ordinance to include the specific language governing the rules.
COUNCILMAN TILIS: I don’t want to amend the Ordinance right now. I just made a request. Secondly, we’re going to put seed money in a dedicated trust fund for this with the hopes that there’ll be fundraising; my question is, you’ve had experience with this in other municipalities; how successful is it?
SUSAN ADDLESTON - 66 MERION LANE: We raised over $3,000.00 a week ago just for this.
