Little League presents request for $1,000; vote awaits financial statement

There were no citizen's comments however, one person, Mr. David Holmes, Little League football program representative, came before the Council to ask for a donation of $1,000, as the Council has done in the past. He was reminded by City Clerk Sonya Roy to present his financial statement as is the policy of the Council. Holmes said he would deliver it within two weeks.

Mayor Harris said it would then be immediately sent to the Council members for review so that a vote can be taken at the December meeting.

Auditor says budget for 2010/2011 delayed by Jim Blair Center, utilities merger

Mr. John Taylor presented the budget for fiscal year 2010/2011 with explanations of why it was delayed. He mentioned the Jim Blair project and transfer of the water utility as reasons for the report being so late.

First readings given to property maintenance code, gas meter deposits interest rate change

Two ordinances had first readings with no action needed at this meeting: the property maintenance code enforcement ordinance, and the ordinance amending the interest rate applied to gas meter deposits.

Assistant City Clerk Rhonda Loy reports on Hurricane Sandy relief effort

Mayor Harris asked Rhonda Loy to share details of the disaster relief effort underway by the City of Columbia. She said that having a family member in Connecticut gave her a link to items most needed. The public is welcome to bring non-perishable food items, blankets, bottled water and monetary donations to the office through this week. The phone number to reach her for more details is 270-384-2501.
