Public Forum: Mr. Lynn Tankersley, 850
Easter Drive, asked about the RR Warning Whistle- Mayor
stated was more questioned the proposal of expenditures for
the proposed facilitator, Don Vermillion, for the goal
session. Mr. Tankersley stated he felt that paying $1,000
for a ½ day session is two much money when the council held
a session a few years ago and should do a summary first on
the issues from that session then if you felt Mr. Vermillion
is needed, schedule with him. Mayor stated this should be a
process which is done annually. Mr. Tankersley felt that the
Planning Commission and Chamber of Commerce should be
included in this process; changes needed are for the Police
Department and Fire Department. Tax Payers are weary of
city wasting money. Plans are to identify certain area
problems and then to implement plans. Mayor suggested
council to meet on their own and review the last goal
session plans. Mr. Tankersley stated the charter is
structured to make the planning commission a part of this
review. Mr. Tankersley stated a message was sent by the
citizens when the levy failed the last time and would
caution council on spending.
Mr. William Donahue, 780 Hillcrest,
stated was very impressed with the city and the cemetery
across the street, the unknown soldier, and early settlers
all properly marked. Being a veteran and proud to live in
this city, was dismayed to find there is no mention of Pat
Long in the City Hall. Would like to see a plaque or
portrait in his honor. Mr. Donahue stated he would pledge
$100 toward this being done. Also questioned if Carlisle
was going to erect a cell tower in the city . Mayor stated
we have restricted cell towers in our ordinances where they
could be erected in an Industrial Zone. Mr. Bowles stated he
would like to see this referred to the Land and Street
Committee. Jennifer Long is Chairperson.
