Regular meeting <br />September 19, 2005 <br /> <br /> <br />Mayor Adams read a letter from Metro Mayors asking communities to sponsor a city <br />affected by hurricane Katrina. Ms. Welsch recommended approval for support and Ms. <br />Colquitt seconded approval. Mayor Adams said there would be fund raisers to fund <br />support. Mayor’s proposal received Council’s consensus. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe Jr. was glad to hear and support this action as he has had citizens ask him <br />what the City was doing in support of the hurricane victims. <br /> <br /> <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS: <br /> <br />Nova Felton, 8031 Noel Ct. <br />Would like to question the Planning Commission hearing on the “Chicken Ordinance” <br />that did not have any representation from the third ward. She wanted the Ordinance <br />repealed. <br /> <br />Fred Atwood, 710 Berick Dr. <br />He wanted the Council to know of how he became a victim of crime on May 29, 2005. <br />He was basically looking for advice or help because he did not know where to go. The <br />crime was from a Spanish person who did not speak English. It is his understanding <br />that he was not a citizen and lived in a two bedroom apartment with four other people. <br />Mr. Atwood wanted to know what businesses do for a check of citizenship, when they <br />hire people obviously of another nationality and what kind of a check is there on how <br />many people are residing at an apartment. <br /> <br />Jen Jenson, 706 Pennsylvania Ave. <br />Ms. Jenson sent a letter on August 8, 2005, signed by Chair Person of Prop K and its <br />members, outlining their concerns about the naming of the Recreation Facility. The <br />Prop K Committee asked for the sequence of events that lead up to the Centennial <br />Commons’ name being adopted and the validation that the City Council actually <br />approve this. The Prop K Committee found the name unacceptable for now and future <br />generations. On August 17, Mr. Ollendorff responded to her in a letter addressed to <br />her, as a private citizen, and not to the Prop K Committee, stating that it was too late <br />now to make changes in the many commitments made. Prop K Committee was <br />disappointed in that the Committee only received responses from two Councilmembers <br />and Mr. Ollendorff. <br /> <br />Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel. <br />She is part of the Prop K Committee too that objected to the name given the Community <br />Center. She said that the name of the project creates an image. She felt the name is <br />associated with Senior Citizens and would not correctly represent the purpose and use <br />of the Community Center. <br /> <br />Page 10 <br /> <br />
