City Council Meeting - November 8,2004
COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS:
Mayor Furlong: I guess I'd like to say one thing and that is just to formally recognize
and thank all those that helped as election judges and helped put on the election this last
Tuesday. We had very high voter turnout. Depending on how you calculate it, in the
80's or 90's percent turnout, which is phenomenal. That was, and except for lines early
in the morning as people were waiting to get in before the polls even opened, generally
everybody moved through very well I understand so to all those that helped as election
judges, we sincerely thank you for your efforts in making the elections go so smoothly.
Any other items? Discussion or council presentations? If not, I'll move to Mr. Gerhardt.
ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENTATIONS:
Todd Gerhardt: You took my fire Mayor. I was going to thank the election judges and
the entire election staff. They did a fantastic job in helping out with such a high turnout
of voters and they did a great job with no problems or anybody questioning the vote so it
went smoothly.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Councilman Labatt.
Councilman Labatt: One question for Justin real quick.
Mayor Furlong: Certainly.
Councilman Labatt: You sent out that e-mail regarding that Center Pointe grant for that
defib. Could you just update us on that.
Justin Miller: Sure. A few months ago we applied for a grant application to put an AED,
External Defibulator in the CSO vehicle. We did receive that grant. It was about a
$2,500 grant. We have to match that and so we're going to buy a similar device and put
it in the senior center, so we'll have one in the senior center, one in the CSO vehicle.
Those will be ordered probably within the week. Somebody from Center Pointe Energy
will be at our December 13th meeting and present us with the check.
Councilman Labatt: Great.
Mayor Furlong: Very good. Any other questions for staff?
CORRESPONDENCE DISCUSSION.
Councilman Peterson: Mr. Mayor, the only point I'd like to offer regarding that is the
report of the farmers market, which was generally a positive report and I think it
reinforced the fact that it is starting but it is growing and they intend to do it again next
year so I'm looking forward to seeing that be a 20 member, or 20 market thing in a
couple years so.
