The Council and staff reviewed the agenda for the City Council meeting of January 9,
2003.
City Manager Jim Jeffers advised the Council that it was his recommendation that
Carolyn Baker be nominated to the Civil Service Commission to replace Gary
Garrison. Mr. Garrison does not live in Plainview full-time and therefore cannot serve
on the Commission. Councilmember Owen agreed that Mrs. Baker was an excellent
choice.
Mr. Jeffers went over the application process for community entity funding. At the
Council's strategic planning session it was discussed that the Hale County Senior
Citizen Center be removed from the application process and the funding be a budgeted
item such as the funding for the YMCA S.A.F.E. project. Councilmember Owen stated
that senior citizens are a viable taxpaying entity of the City and should be taken care of
as the youth of the City are taken care of through the S.A.F.E. program.
Councilmember Owen moved that the Hale County Senior Citizens be asked to fill out
an application packet with the required information for proper documentation of files and
funding be included in the budget so as to not have to report at budget meetings. The
motion was duly seconded by Councilmember Tipton. Mayor Woods, Councilmember
Tipton, Pena, Owen and Favila voted "for" the motion and Councilmembers Shanes and
Bertsch voted "against." The motion carried.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 12:05 p.m.
