III. Proclamations
1. City Attorney Pete Eckert and Former Councilman Bob Cotti present the city with a picture of the U.S.S. Rockwall. Attack Transport that saw action in WWII.
A veteran of WWII and former sailor aboard the Rockwall, Dr Jordan (hope that's right) was present and told a story of how he saved a man's life duirng operations in the Pacific Theater.
Accepting the picture were the mayors and city managers of Rockwall and Heath.
A photo of the U.S.S. Heath was unavailable.
2. Kiawnis from Texas and Oklahoma are in town for a regional convention. Word has it the Rotarians are out looking to "rough up" any Kiwanis walking alone.
IV. Open Forum.
1. Fella who talked really needed an appointment and got it!
V. Consent Agenda.
Passed unanimously, nothing pulled.
VI. Appointments.
1. Bill Bricker talked about the P&Z's recommendations regarding the PD's (see previous post, I refuse to revisit here - too painful)
3. Speed Fab Crete and the Fire Stations.
#3 done, # 4 Almost there. (Stay on target)
2. Dude needs and extension of his 212 agreement after missing the deadline for mailing the request.
VII. Action Items.
3 moved to next meeting as Matt Scott absent, again:
6. HOA Subcommitee talk.
8. Fence ordinance talk.
9. "Parking on unimproved surfaces" talk.
1. Some money coming back to city from fire station project, and some of that is going back out "in the interest of fairness" to the architectural firm who forgot to add it to the contract.
I THINK $330k was returned, and then somewhere between $200k and $75k was give to the architect (they sure make it hard to understand when they are spending our money.)
2. Something about money or bonds or taxes.
3. Similar to 2, money stuff. Read it on the agenda if you want.
4. More of our money allocated to dedication plaques for the new fire stations: $8452.80 for 4 signs.
5. Fire Chief wants to swap some money in the fire station equipment funding for "Bunker Washing Gear" and "SCBA Filling Machines" in lieu of vehicle exhaust systems (not the fire truck mufflers, CO exhaust inside the bays).
7. Grand opening dates for fire stations discussed. Both will be on same day, probably in October or November. Donuts at 10a at #3 and cookies at 4p for #4 (same day).
10. If you got some "Weekend Development Directional Signs" you have been itching to use, now is your chance! But only from Friday evening to Sunday evening.
11. City of Rockwall in the movie biz discussion. This excites Mark Russo most of all. (Maybe awaiting his big break!)
12. Something about Atmos Energy (last item, no one cares, passes quickly)
VIII. City Managers Report(s).
I was going to go into great detail of all things discussed, but then I saw a frog in my garden this evening. Had to choose between report and frog picture, I chose the more interesting:
