Coconut Grove where we lost quite a few servtce men and 1nd1v1dua l:::. during Wo,ld War 2 And then the latest
fire that everyone remembers 1s the station fire 1n Rhode Island where we lost about 100 young people 1n that
fire There 1s also a more recent fi re thal occurred 1n Ru~s1a that we lost about anothe r 100 voung oeople ,n a
nightclub activity Although the education that we do with the children 1n the elementary school may not have
changed the outcome of a lot of these big ftres . we are working on the kids in the home arena We lose over
4000 people every year to house fires throughout tne United States and that 1s a huge amount of loss of hfe that
1s unwarranted The rea l history of this whole week began m 1921 Woodrow Wilson actually proclai med Fire
Prevention Week Th is Is the longest running public health and safety observance that ,s on record tc ·~y in the
Umted St3tes Those efforts that began back In the 1902 's . contmue on toda y Tt'l,s year the team v1s1ted at
least six schools .. last year It was seven this year 11 was s1x , be cause Maddox has now changed into stnctly a
primary school a kIndergar1en only school.. preschool So that school Is no longer one of the schools that we
actively go after So, this year also I would lrk e to recognize those who really played a gre at effort In this proiect
First of all . Mike Pattarozz1 our Fire Ch ief for his support for this program 01v1s1on Chief Kr a19 Stovall for his
leadership an C commitment He truly was the one that spearheaded this effort of getting th e message out to the
k1ds Executive Assistant Madeline Norconk for her commitment to this whole prog ram She drd a lot of phone
calls . a lot of the leg work And for those of you tha t are teachers , you probably re ceived a lot of pho ne calls
from he r. probably even one today saying are you coming? And th en we also had the charactenzat1on
•
team als::> known as our clow:is The m embe rs of that are Brian Baker, Mike Osgood and Greg Weaver And
they truly clld an excell ent JOb of getting the pomt across this year Th e fire the line fi re crews did a lot of
support , th ey also did a lot of the p reschool and kindergarten program s and were very successful m that And .
finally . but not le2 c;t we have a big thanks to Bonnie Hirsch She is an intern from Metropohtar. State College
She really put this whole project together She started last summer Luckily she Is sta ying with us throug h thi s
Ma y , to make sure w e foll ow up on all of our promises to the kids , but she went. really out of her wa y and really
did a fabul ous JOb fo r us Mayor Woodward 1f you would like to come down and sha~e :iands w ith those that
did so well What I would like to do is call up th e teachers . because . quite hone stly . 1 don 't have all th e students
names I'm sorry So 1f !he teacher could come up and recogmze who 11 was Iha: partIc1paled In these great •
murals that are sIttmg oulsIde In our atrium . I would really apµrecIate 11
Mayor Woodward ,,:;,;J I am sure you are aware th at all th1s poster art has beer, up on the third fl oor 1:1 the
lobby area there and 11 has been up there for awhtle for all of us tc-admire Some of us that spend a lot of 11me

Mayor Woodward said I would ltke le open 11 up for d1scuss1on
Council Member G1ll1t said well 1t s open to the room let's talk about 1t I pondered this a long time and we
k1r.d of talked about ,t briefly last wJek We are asking our citizen 's to spend money on a pa1nt 1ng we have not
appraised We have an arbitrary value on there It Is for a favor for the husband of our previous mayor I
respect what Olg a has done I ;,pprec,ate her legacy I am thankful for all the work ,hat she did I do not
beheve and this is my own sta,~.: ':'l'I !!"1Is Is 1 do not beheve cItI zens should pay for this If 111s something tha 1
we want to do to help them then we should ra ise private hinds I thmk we are setting precedence If
something should happen to Joe . you know we have to help hts family ou t an d do somethi ng are we setting a
prece dence? Here 's wha t we do not for the regular c1t1ze ns. but people who have been on Counci l or Mayor
It Ju st sets a tone that w e are going to take care of ourselves an d help our own .. when we have plen ty of
c1 tIzens in our com munity who have done great th in gs and thrs Co uncil has never agreed to help them out I JUS !
thi nk 11 Is a precedence . I think 1f w ., want to do that for her . we should raise that or do tha t ourselves privatel y or
we should ask ci tizens to help And therefore . I will be voting no for c1tIzen funds on that
• Mayor Woodward asked 1f there were other comments on that
Council Member McCasl 1n f . yo u know I kind of I apprecia te Nhot you said R1ck . as far as the tImIng Is
prob ably not good, becau:' 1u ~ now Mr Doty Is moving ou t of town and it looks like well . he needs sane
money But I look at 11 more 01 l.,e what Oloa gave to the City Not everybody can give what Olga gave And
serving w '.h Olga to me she Jl ½l you k now 100% to the Ctty So. I don 't think there are a lot of cItIzens out
th ere that .~e can ha r:: lt\,':11 on I understand where you are coming from and I respect 11 But I als o know what
Olga did a:1d I respect tr~ probably, rn...,1e
Council Membe r G1ll1t said and : 1or ·1 want to d1m1n1sh anything she has done Mr McCashn said nght and
that 1s what I am saying I Ir uw her tllere are no t a lot of private ( 1tIz ens that have do ne what Olga did In 8
years Was 11 8 years or 6 or ? I don 't want to d11rnn1sh Ma yor Woorlward said 1t was almost 8 years she
was on she wa s serving prior to that Mr Mccaslin said ri ght I don t,., 1t 1n durnnic;h th P yPars but I th1nl-..
she gave a lot of her own time and effort and even mon ey to I mean what we get paid for (.;1ty Counctl you
might as wel l ti's Just we are not doing 11 for th e money and 1f you are you are doing 11 fo r the wrong reasons
She gave a lot of her time and effort and you can 't put a price on that I mean she could this co uld be
51. 000 you are righ t there Is no i: ora1sa l Tha t 1. ::.ometll1ng that concerns me. hut l also think that you have
to respect Mr GIiii! said 111 lell you I'll give the first S50 00 privately 11 we go lhal direction
Council Member Jefferson said I guess ar.d I have given 1I some tr.o ught as well an d 11 Is a d1ff1cul t s1tuat1on
because of the respe c~ I have for Olga and for what she had done for the co mmunity And you know , I actua lly
tnInk that ll Is somewhat appropriate because I likened 11 to a memorial being built for Olga's honor I think that
would be appropriate I think . you know . where the Iss"e starts to come into play for some c1t,zens 1s th e
money 1s going into a pr:vate po cket of an 1nd1v1du al who 1s related to a person wh o served on Council So 11 Is
a d1ff1 cult decision for me. but I would prefer to see 11 privately and I will fun d 50 as well
• Council Mem ber Wilson said I think 11 1s a memorial to Olga And 1f you were going 10 build one one th at would
be more than S420 00 too . 11 would still be going in the pockets of a pnvate person She wa~ also opening this
up or Jim was selltng all of her tilings to people I mean 111ust wasn 't iust to us So. I don 't have a problem

be helpful I'm th1nk1ng and talking th1s through I don't know if that has been done m the past w here 111s not a
legal thing but more uf a fnendsh,p oriented cItIze n thing of trying to work this out because 1\ Is obviously very

the U S 11 seemed to be a big dea l bu! I think one of the things tllat we have going for us as a City Is that we

thank them on behalf of the orgamzat1ons they represent Their actions 1n our community are appreciated and
the y fill some of the gaps that and services that the City can't provide
2. He said I also wanted to congra tula :e all of •he fire pr 'vent1on week poster winners That was really greai to
see lhem all m here Again . I'l l highlight that I think 11 1s really important as a City to provide oppo1tum t1e s for
recogn1t1on and recognize accomplishments 1n our you th when the y do have them
3 He said I too wanted to thank Elaine for her efforts on helping with the postal service lobbying
4 t ,,. said to Jackie thanks again for com mg to address the Council I recognize too that there are caregiver
problems 1n Council 8111 No 53 I hope you understand some of those some of those problems come from the
inhere nt problems 1n Amendment 20 and our attempts to mirror th e language of Amendment 20 and to address
our most concerning issue of commer:1al ac.tIv1t1es And so I cer1a1nly understand where you are coming from .
that caregiver lan guage 1s very ambiguous and covers a lot of ground and probably mappropnateiy so . but .hke I
said , I hope you understand how we ended up at least 1n the situation we ended up in Now wr · th e
moratorium. you know, I hope, you know I think we are sr>n of hoping that we see some add1t1onal regulauons
coming down from the State and so I would encot1rage you to stay turned to what Is going on e:t the State level
because my persona l opinion Is that It will probably carry the day so to speak At le~st we ~re hopeful of that
5 He sa id to Shannon. thank you aga1n for coming to speak about your Baker Park issue ''m hearing you I
know 11 Is an 1mpor1ant issue for you I actually heard from another constituent m the are·J who had s1m1t -.1
concerns Ju st to give you an idea on where I am at on the issue. I think I guess I'm supportive currently of
staffs actions on not having a port-a-potty at Baker based on the utility and the cost However , what I would say
is I know you have some efforts to get out there to the community and like I sa id I've already heard from one If
I hear from a h;mdful more, I will reconsider my pos111on and brmg 11 back to Council at that ti:ne So . you know,
•
if It 1s somethin~ you are interested 1n pursuing further. I'm listening Bring a few more people forward and 1 will
reconside r and bnng It m front of Council again That's all I have Thank you
