@ @ITEM 2002 -01 -02 City Council Minutes
Clerk of Council Jacquelyn R. Brown gave the oath of office to each Council
member and to the Mayor and then turned the meeting over to Mayor Walter Parker.
Mayor Parker called the organizational meeting of Council to order at 9:30 A.M.
with the following members of Council present: James G. Burke, Jr., Jack Youmans,
Walter C. Crawford, Jr., Whitley Reynolds and Richard Barrow. Council member elect
Jason Buelterman was absent because of work, but will be sworn in tonight by Judge
George Oliver. Mayor Parker welcomed the new and the old members of Council.
Burke moved to elect Walter Crawford as Mayor Pro Tem. Youmans seconded.
Vote by Council was unanimous.
There was a discussion on agenda procedure and how to go about getting
something on the agenda for a meeting. It was noted to get with the clerk of council.
Hughes said that there are 2 types and that some ordinances require a public hearing,
which has to be advertised for the Planning Commission and for the City Council. It
would be good to place a suggestion for a change on the agenda for discussion so that a
consensus can be given by Council before you spend time preparing the ordinance
Barrow asked about a pre meeting? Parker answered that we have never done that but
will look into this matter. Parker also told Council that a pre meeting would have to be
advertised.
Youmans said that he would like to go back to 2 meetings a month or either
agenda prep and 1 regular meeting.
City Manager Tom Cannon told Council that a Council retreat could be held on
January 12 from 9 A.M. to 3 P.M. here on the island. Dr. Billy Hair would facilitate the
meeting. Youmans said he would go along with the 12th but that he thinks we need to
wait until March or April, after the Council is involved with how it works. Crawford said
he thinks that sometime in February would be good. Cannon said that he would get in
touch with Hair to see if he has anything available.
As there was no further business to be discussed Mayor Parker adjourned the
meeting.
