TO THE CITY MANAGER:



HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES:

when they are preparing for the Hall of Fame Inductees, they would consider CSM

Edward Crook, Jr., as well as Mr. Howard Pitts. (Request of Councilor Turner

Pugh)

RECREATION CENTER SCHEDULE:



Have the staff to look at the scheduling suggestion as presented by

Mr. Brace Luquire that would allow the shuffling of schedules, and to allow

some hours flexibility that would not impact the budget of the Recreation

Centers. (Request of Councilor Allen)



Have the staff to make sure that we consult with the employees on this

suggestion as well. (Request of Councilor Suber)



When the staff does the survey, make sure that they are written surveys

and are done with the staff, as well as the users of the facility; also, make

sure there is a place for a signature on the surveys. (Request of Councilor

Turner Pugh)



Have the staff to consider using volunteers to help in staffing the

Recreation Centers. (Request of Councilor McDaniel)



Once the survey is prepared, also consider putting it on the City?s website

for citizens to respond to. When you talk with the employees about this

matter, and those who do the survey and are willing to work on Sunday versus

Friday, make sure you inform them that this is not something that we are saying

that they have to do, but we just want to know how they feel about the working

hours. (Request of Councilor Turner Pugh)

SPRINGLAKE SUBDIVISION:



Have the staff to provide a status report on the problem with the washout

on Effingham Way. Also, have the staff to address his concerns with the water

flow and water runoff coming off of Columbus Park Crossing and running back

over through Springlake Subdivision and Windsor Park. Let?s also make sure we

are doing everything we can to control the water flow to keep things like this

from happening. (Request of Councilor Davis)

TASER GUNS:



Have the staff to do some research and to verify information that was

reported in a recent news broadcast, as it relates to a specific type of taser

guns that we recently approved; which was stated that it could cause death.

Also, if this information is correct, let?s look at slowing the process down of

purchasing these taser guns. (Request of Councilor Suber)
