Mr. Don Dawson, 890 Fiesta spoke to
council on several concerns:
(1)
Shingles being stored at the Market Place stated he did
not see the concern council was having when there are a lot
worse looking places around the city. Looks like the city is
discouraging businesses.
(2)
Poor communication: people call the City Manager and he
won’t return the call or sends his errand boys to do his job
for him. Council/Manager should go around to the different
businesses and see what there needs are or what plans the city
has.
(3)
Police Chief designated an officer to an area, sounded
nice, several months later an officer shows with an emission
notice and business card and said call if you need me. Called
police with a situation never showed, they said they did but
stayed outside for several hours and they never showed on the
scene.
(4)
The island was bad design for people to get in or out
of businesses.
Mayor Ellender responded regarding Mr.
Dawson concerns:
(1)
Regarding the Island, the car lot turned the city down
for an extra curb cut. Island was placed their for safety
purposes.
(2)
Received complaints regarding the shingles from several
residents. The main issue is the businesses are not zoned for
the storage of shingles.
(3)
The Department Heads do double duty and sometimes the
Manager uses them to help him out on situations. Mayor stated
he also is in contact with businesses thru phone calls and the
Chamber meetings. Will try and do a better job of
communications with businesses.
A gentleman form Atlas Roofing spoke
regarding the impact the time frame has placed on the
business. Had to shut the business down last week for three
days and feels this is penalizing the employees. Have located
another site but is not available till later in the season.
