On behalf of the residents of Kings Ridge, the funds raised will be given to the Clermont Fire Department in the amount of $500, $1,000 to the East Ridge High School Band and $183 to Boy Scout Troop #551. Bob Bowman, Magnolia Pointe, suggested Council consider a penalty fine imposed upon utility companies causing water main line breaks. Cuqui Whitehead, 837 5`h Street, congratulated Mayor Turville for being awarded Citizen of the Year. Joe Janusiak expressed concern with jaywalkers at the intersection of Desoto Street and Bloxam Avenue. Police Chief Graham stated he will take care of it. Wayne Weatherbee, 899 W. Montrose Street, expressed concern with the City recently removing shrubs because of encroachment onto the sidewalk. He requested the City enforce it in other areas and stated there are more shrubs along Montrose Street in violation. Mayor Turville asked City Manager Saunders to review the situation. Mr. Weatherbee also recommended the City either enforce the parking fine law or remove the 2 hour parking signs. Erik Strange was present, elected as Vice President to the Fire Department Union. He stated the Fire Department was awarded the SAFER Grant to provide more than $975,000 for 9 firefighters for 4 years. It was his understanding that administration rejected this grant. After reviewing the City Council agendas and minutes, he did not find where it was voted on by Council. He questioned whether Council was aware of this revenue source or the decision to reject it. City Manager Saunders replied he had not received notification of the grant award. Council directed staff two years ago to seek approval prior to applying for grants. This was applied for without his knowledge. This grant will cost the City approximately $2 million to accept the grant. Council has to approve additional staff and decide how many then move forward with applying for a SAFER grant. With current budget constraints, we do not have the funds to match the first year let alone $2 million.
